I am grateful for everything I have and everything I have experienced.
Keep up the great work I do really understand how much energy and planning goes into each and everyone of your videos. A lot of people really don’t know what it takes to put the video information together thank you. Thomyt
Thanks! 💙
Cover the outside of the front window. It will be more effective at keeping the heat out
Great tip!
@@GratefulGlamper create a wrap with either tie downs, magnets or velcro, make a template of your front window, using liquid spray on glue for fabric and cover the reflectex, ( or hand stitch if needle and thread is available) place on the OUTSIDE when parked, can also be made for side windows that may end up on the 'sunny side'. A moonshade adhered to the RV on the refrigerator side would shade the refrigerator for a more efficient cooling.
@@janetfolkerts5827 thanks for the suggestion!
From AZ and living in Florida for 3 months currently, and the heat is nothing but the HUMIDITY is nuts.
Totally true - very humid in FL compared to AZ
Just ordered my softstart! Didn't even know this was a thing. Thank you!!!
Glad I could help!
You can use pink foam 1/2 in all cabinets n closet. Cut and put walls of the cabinets ( ever cabinets) under the sofa . Behind the sink area. This has reduced our heat load greatly. I have 27 r. I can run one ac in 95 degrees and be quite comfortable. Using reflective . The pink or green foam board you can buy at any home improvement store. Measure the temperature by the cabinet . Then open and measure inside the cabinet on sun side . Ther will be 3 to 5 degrees difference
Make solar powered awnings. Flexible panels tied to a PVC frame then suction cupped to windows. Shades the windows and you get free power. Bonus: it’s also a ground stand when the entire rig is in the shade.
Interesting ideas 💡
They are coming…
Rv airflow system a must
So we've heard and we're checking into it.
They say 40 % increase but after adjustment I got 53%
Also gaps in your vents and the duct work itself
Great tips guys!!! We are HOT down here in Texas! Also, I love the rooster sound in the background. 😂
Lol, thanks to the neighbor’s flock….🤣
This is a great review and reminder of HOW TO stay cool. Thanks for sharing.
Great tips!!! I had already done a couple of these things, but got some new ideas. At first, I thought the rooster was a sound effect to highlight the tips. lol!!
Ha! Nope, real to life (the joys of recording in an uncontrolled environment).
Hey I did the windshield material for my sunlights. They were great but I got tired of going up n down the step stool to remove em. (Yes I am short lol). I just unscrewed the covers down and put window tint over em. I actually put a double layer on. Held it in place with tape and put it back up. It’s perfect. Allows some light but no where near what it did before. The bathroom was always so hot. This cut the heat dramatically. Good tips as always and keep up the great videos. ❤️
Great ideas, thanks for the comment and compliment.
Vic and I Love Progressive Insurance. The rates are the most affordable for our class A Motorhome and that’s super important! We needed new windshields after only having the policy for a short time and they replaced them with zero hassles.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thankful for our camper today and everyday. We just moved in last night may 21st 2024
💙
Awesome video. Very informative! Thank you for those tips
Great information guys, thanks 🙏 😘
Thanks for watching!
Another great video with awesome tips! And I’m thankful for a package deal…. My beautiful wife and the 2 amazing kids she gave me 😍😍
💙💙
We lived in the Denver area for four years and it is typically 100+ some days during the summer. And the same for South Dakota...
Thanks for the info. I am preparing a 2 week trip and was trying to decide if I should bring the induction cook tops I have. Well, you have convinced me to bring at least one of them. I bought them for when we have power outages and have to use the generator. I will also line my cupboards. I've just done the food pantry and windows so far.
👍🏻👍🏻Safe travels!
Super Tips … Thanks so much
Great tips
Thank you!
I am grateful that I live in Florida!
💙
Mr Rooster agrees.
😉
Fla dweller, did the car reflective for windows bc with the built in sun shade & regular one it was not enough. Helps greatly. Did the bathroom & livingroom skylights with the pillow reflective & used paper tape to sucure bath now will do the command strips. I shut off propane bc I dont use it that much & water heater always on. I purchased a 1.7 liter electric kettle & run the cool shower & have a shower bucket with warmer water if i needs it. Tks for ideas.
Great tips - thanks for watching!
Excellent tips. We also cover our vents
👍🏻👍🏻
👍😎🍻🇨🇦… what’s with the rooster? 😂
Goodness, right!?! There were several roosters around when we were recording. 🤦🏻♀️
Loved the tips! 🖖🏻👍🏻🙏🏻😘
Thank you!
In reference to your hot vacation areas. We were north of Portland visiting relatives this summer, just in time for their hottest week on record 🔥115 degrees🔥
Oh wow! That's crazy! We were in the PNW last year and it was cold and rainy the whole month.
This is an Awesome Video with great tips Thank You so Much.
Thanks for watching
This video really made me want some fried chicken for some reason.
Lol, 🐔
Great info! Love the rooster!
Thanks for watching!
What a great video! We are in FL too and our class C is struggling to keep us cool🥵. I'm going to get some of that insulation now! lol. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching! Best wishes in keeping cool!
Loved this video and didn’t think about reflextic on the skylights and inside the cabinets!
On my list to upgrade tomorrow!
👍🏻👍🏻
No 11: try to find a site that shields your rig from the afternoon sun with tree shade
Trees are totally your friend when you find a shady site. Thanks for watching.
Good information
Thanks!

Thank you so much for the video. My beautiful wife and I started full-time rv'ing a couple months ago. We are going to work 6 months and travel 6 months. I ordered the soft starts from your video. My wife and I love watching your videos. We want to start our own You Tube videos for full time rv'ers that are tall, as she is 6'2" and I'm 6'8". What are your thoughts on this? Might be different perspectives then the average height person experience. Once again thank you for your videos.
Thanks for watching! I’m (Charity) 5’10 and Ben is 6’0 - beat wishes in your journey and starting your channel.
We started our channel last year, I'd say go for it, at least you will have great memories to share with friends and family.
Love all the info you provide on your videos. Thank you!
@@kimvalenzuela9940 thanks for watching them!
I'm grateful for my kids and not depending on a man
Wtf
Grateful to be a child of GOD!
Us too!
Are you in Key West? I hear those roosters which are epic in Key West.
Key West is pretty epic and overrun with roosters! We’ve been there before but this was filmed in a different area of Fl
3:09
What's with the birds in the background? ?
Lol, there are some chickens nearby
Be real, not all environments are controlled. A rooster is not a bird that you can ask to be silent while filming and it will obey you..
@@janetfolkerts5827 so we learned - because we definitely tried to tell the rooster to shut up, LOL 😂
@@janetfolkerts5827 no one asked for your input. Plus it was a joke. Get off your high horse!
Are there some ACs that are quieter than others?
The soft starts help with the large “clunk” noise when the compressor kicks in.
There are some videos about insulation in the vents and improvements to the vent system by sealing it with reflective tape, we did our fifth wheel and it lowered the sound a lot. Also got the soft start that goes on the 50 amp cord, a😢makes everything in the RV soft start, much easier than doing just the A/C’s bit pricey though. It does save on electricity.
Holy Rooster Batman
We know 😞 There we’re chickens in the area and the rooster was loosing his brains.
