    Being a big fan of the Eastern Sierra, I really enjoyed this video. The Hope Valley boondocking area, where you stayed, is one of my favorites. In fact, I was there for several nights at the end of this September. I'm also a big fan of Silver Lake where you stayed. Safe travels in your new rig!

    Debbie, I'm enjoying watching your new RV being built...I am envious! However with all the mods you have to make...whew...it isn't easy to figure what to upgrade, and from whom (or I imagine, cheap either). However since you originally got the Pleasure Way Sprinter, you probably have been mentally tabulating all those miles, " the next time we get a RV van, we are going to get X, Y, and Z and not settle for factory spec components!"
    However in light of the new California clean air truck act that is going to be enacted soon, your new RV van maybe the LAST RV van registered in the State of California! 😢 Lucky for you and John getting it done just before the deadline!😊
    I have been watching your channel for years thinking, when I retire, I'm going to get an RV van and do what Debbie & John are doing! But that dream is dying now!😢
    What do you think about the RVs getting caught up in the clean truck regulations? I think it will be very bad for the RV industry, and aftermarket places like Agile may have to move to Nevada, or close down.

    • @FromShetoMe
      @FromShetoMe  18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      If you can find a copy of the regulations and read them, you’ll see that a lot of pundits are spreading unjustified fear because they don’t apply to us. So keep dreaming and you’ll be fine as long as you aren’t dreaming about a Tiffin.

    • @infrequentgamer_greg
      @infrequentgamer_greg 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @FromShetoMe From what I read, it seems the Calif. regs apply to vehicles > 14,000 lbs GVWR, which is more than a normal Class B RV van (approx. 9500 lbs, my guess).
      The Tiffin's...what so different about them? (I did go to an RV show, and looked through a couple of Class B Tiffins, and I thought the cabinetry a little thin, but other than that, they seemed normal?)

    • @FromShetoMe
      @FromShetoMe  17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It is our understanding that It applies to vehicles over 8500 lbs (and you are correct, our van is approx 9500lbs) but Ford has environmental credits because of their mix of vehicles so they can still sell vans. I can't speak for the MB Sprinter. The regs were passed in 2020 so it isn't like the companies haven't known this was coming. RVIA seems to be pressing the panic button a little late, but either way, I have confidence that it will be sorted out.

    • @FromShetoMe
      @FromShetoMe  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hmmm. It’s on the lift at Agile so I can’t measure it just now but John thinks it is 80” long. His feet can hang over if necessary. We are both side sleepers. While it isn’t as wide as the van, we occupy the width because the mattress is at the same level as the cabinet so our legs can sprawl. We both sleep so well in this bed. I highly recommend. We did not get the Transit Trail and I’m glad we didn’t because of all the mess around the recall.

      In a big wind, the magnets will fail. But the suction cups don’t work as well on our new van. In the Sprinter, I would sometimes double up and use both the suction cups as well as magnets. You need to verify that they ship with magnets because the second one we bought only came with suction cups. We are going to investigate adding a clip to hook into our roof rack.

We do not carry snow chains but now that we have an AWD vehicle, we may venture into colder areas in the winter. I would sleep in this bed every night if I could. Feels so cozy. The lift is absolutely essential because this rig drags on curb cuts. Can’t wait to take it out to the desert.

    Hello, Great videos !!! . We got your channel from some friends who live over in Sunset. We live close by in HB.
    Anyway, We spent 2 years trying to get our new 2024 Ford Transit.
    We didn't end up getting exactly what we wanted but it's close.
    Sounds like you had a similar story.
    Anyway, I think in an earlier video you said you were getting 17 mpg.
    I am only getting 13 mpg so just wanted to find out what was different in our vans.
    I have a 2024 Passenger van, AWD, 148 Wheel base long but not extended, Ecoboost, High roof.
    Our starting weight without any passenger seats was around 6500 lbs.
    We added about 1000 lbs during our conversion to camper van.
    That included a FlatLine Low Pro roof rack with front spoiler and ladder.
    Sorry for all my questions but most have quick answers ....
    Q1 - Do you have AWD ?
    Q2 - Do you have Ecoboost ?
    Q3 - If you have AWD, do you run it mostly in the ECONOMY mode ?
    Q4 - Do you have to run high test gas to get your 17 mpg ?
    Q5 - Do you still have the stock tires ?
    Q6 - Do you have a 148 WB Long but not extended ?
    Q7 - Do you have a high top ?
    Thanks in advance

    • @FromShetoMe

      It has been between 15 and 17 mpg but as you know, so much depends on conditions. John has been putting a lot of premium in the tank. But it sounds like we have identical vans, still have stock tires. But next week that will all be changing when we get all the upgrades. Our van may be a bit heavier than yours.
