Interesting! Here's a bit of crazy trivia - We are having our dog groomed at home and I mentioned that you had a new video up to my husband. Our groomer, Nicole said, "You mean John and Debbie with the Pleasure Way? I watch them, too!" So there you go. Two households of fans from London, Ontario!
I have always considered taking the couch out and have a stationary raised bed, you would still have the front seats and two ottomans for sitting . I love seeing what I invisioned in place. Again, lady you have knocked it out of the park with sharing ideas. I am sure you were in overload touring the different PW's...THANK YOU for your time and caring.
FSTM, Hello DEBBIE & JOHN, ,that was quite a meetup nice ideas too, hey I like those Minnie pan things,I have to replay so I can hear where she go them!. Was that a DRY thunderstorm? Those start ire’s too, stay well happy trails, God Bless, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you Debbie John for pushing me beyond my comfort zone. We had a great time sharing and especially having everyone else shared what they have done. What a great group of like minded people. Otto
We saw that thunderstorm too, awesome! I like that swing away tire and the swing away bike rack on the first interview...I'm taking notes. This was great I so love seeing how people tweak and fix up their vans. I was watching TH-cam Jarrod Tocci do a van tour by Nomadik Customs yesterday and Nomadik has been doing some vans with 2 small fridges, one on top of the other built in and one is used as a freezer and the other a fridge. Thanks so much for the tour today, I could easily watch more, I'm addicted. Take care you two
I love Otto’s spare tire setup, he should sell them. I am still trying to figure out the spare tire for our Lexor. Great tips and ideas. Looks like a fun PW rally.
Interesting how two owners carried those Dometic chest coolers as a backup for when their 3-way frig doesn’t work. I’m really hoping Pleasure Way will use a compressor frig in the TS model like they do in the Ascent and FL models. I want to buy a TS, but am holding off for another year in hope that future TS models go the compressor frig route.
So interesting to see everyone’s vans and mods. Funny how I love all the creative mods but I don’t even have a command hook in ours😂 Had to laugh at all the fridge workarounds. Been there. We would love to attend a PW Rally. Thank you for filming the fun!
Yes, so many fridge failures or rather, underwhelming performances. With the high efficiency 12 volt fridges now, I think PW needs to dump all their 3-ways.
So many interesting ideals and upgrades to different Pleasure Ways. I plan to make the next rally they have for the club. I need to get a trickle charge for my car also when gone.
Thanks for the video and good tips. I was discussing raising the couch/bed as we don’t use the ottoman when we sleep anyway. I don’t want to remove the bed like the one lady did, but to get some more height in the garage. I am going to see I could raise the whole couch up 5” so more space in garage and inside too. Travel safe!
Uh huh! You KNOW that you are making everyone jealous of this lifestyle. HAHAHA!!! Thanks for showing us these folks with their unique solutions! Those replacement side step rock sliders, protection of the waste valve, game changer! Should be a similar option for every RV.
Our older Prius had a switch under the steering colum that you could turn off all the electronics when the car is parked more than a week. Now I think we would just disconect the battery for the time it is parked.
@@FromShetoMe Not only that, but the car doesn't drive right for a while after reconnecting, as many cars have to relearn the transmission shift points based on driving habits and engine performance.
I bring my trailer battery inside during the winter and put a trickle charger on it, during the summer I just keep the trailer plugged in I don't know if that's correct but battery still working after 4 years
Debbie, great video! Very informative and educational! We just got our Pleasure Way Ascent. Would like to attend next RV Rally. Who hosts it and where to get the notification of the event? Thanks
Well, you may be in luck. The west coast club is having a rally back at the same place the end of May. Go to this link and join the club ($10 per year) and they will send you the info. Hopefully there is still space available. pleasurewayownersgroup.groups.io/g/PWOG/

Otto might want to upgrade his bike cable lock to something more substantial such as a ulock titanium lock. A would be thief in Palm Springs easily cut my cable lock and nearly made off with my mountain bike but fortunately I woke up and ran him off. 🚐
I love my 1upusa Debbie. I still need to get a swing arm so it fits on our Ontour 2.0 but this is how I use it on our camper th-cam.com/video/p_qBXBOiBgQ/w-d-xo.html

Your videos are always so informative. Thanks
I live only two hours away from the Pleasure Way mothership in Saskatchewan Canada. It was so fun to see all the vehicles and their owners. 👋🏼🇨🇦
Lucky you! We've been trying to get there for the past 2 years but thanks to the pandemic...Maybe next year.
That was fun and educational!, Love attending the rally with you. So many awesome tips. Thank you to all.
Thanks for sharing! -Greetings from an Englishman watching in Saudi Arabia! 🇬🇧 ☺
Good morning! you are early this morning. I had to take a look at my clock.
LOL. I forgot to adjust for Utah time.
It was great to meet you at the rally! Thank you for compiling the tips. Hopefully, we'll meet again at future rallys.
Absolutely!
How did you learn about the rally? I don't know how to join. Thanks 😊

Really enjoyed seeing all the vans and putting a face to Barbara Lynn….
Yes, I was glad to get to meet her. I did an interview with her that I will edit/post sometime in November/December. Lots of good info in it.
Loved the beautiful quilt in Otto’s van.
Good tips, but also a fun and interesting video. Thank you so much.

I am just sorry that I wasn’t able to see all of them. Just not enough time.
Amazing tips and gadgets !! Congratulations !! Thanks for sharing your video 😍
Cheers from Spain
Great compilation of ideas and another fun video. Love your work. So fun to meet you and John and everyone else. I miss everyone already!
You guys are awesome. Hope Otto is doing well.

Bed Bath and Beyond is where she got them. It was a wet storm, very unusual for us. Got over an inch of rain.
Great video. Looks like you guys had a fun. Thank you.
Is that Barbara-Lynn who has helped me so much on the pleasure way facebook page? So nice to see her.
Yes. I did an interview with her that I will probably post in late November/December.
We have never been to a rally - but it looks so fun! Thanks so much for sharing! Great Tips!!!
We have rad bikes. You can purchase covers for your battery connection, when your battery is not on your bike. No water or dirt can rune the pins.
Thanks, we did purchase them several years ago.
Thanks for your video which came on time as a dessert of my Friday lunch. Rallies are wonderful to share such good ideas.
Thank you Debbie John for pushing me beyond my comfort zone. We had a great time sharing and especially having everyone else shared what they have done. What a great group of like minded people.

Ditto. You guys inspire me! Hope your recovery is going well.
I cannot wait until I'm retired and can go to an RV rally! This looks like so much fun and you had perfect weather too :o)
We were so lucky. Last year at same time it was roasting.
Great video, bunch of great hacks to use. Thanks for sharing!
Cleverness!

I love seeing everyone’s tips. Such a fun event, maybe our next van will be a pleasure way so we can attend! Mary
I wish there were rallies that were all inclusive of small rigs. If I had the time I would love to organize one.
Interesting how two owners carried those Dometic chest coolers as a backup for when their 3-way frig doesn’t work. I’m really hoping Pleasure Way will use a compressor frig in the TS model like they do in the Ascent and FL models.

I bet they will. Makes no sense to keep listening to the complaints.
We used a trickle charger too, on all the vehicles

Used John's horse stall mat parking pads on last camping trip. They work so much better than the plastic ones.

Ever since we left the Rally we’ve been talking about our next van…eventually.
Our older Prius had a switch under the steering colum that you could turn off all the electronics when the car is parked more than a week. Now I think we would just disconect the battery for the time it is parked.
John used to disconnect the battery but then you have to reset everything.

10:17 the strap protrudes twice as far as the handles.....
Yes, but hitting your head on leather isn’t as painful as metal.
Hey Debbie & John🙋🏽♀️ Great tips! I heard about that Starlink on another channel. Those mini-makers are great!😊
