    It was such an honor to be your builder. I loved collaborating throughout the entire build and working through any hiccups. Your design ideas and decor are definitely Best-Of-Show. It is so YOU. Really loved how you shouted out all the little guys that helped bring this project together. awesome videography.

    Such talent you two have. First time I saw your couch I had to chuckle. One of the boats I had was a 35 foot Chris Craft and the helm seat has that set up. When you are wheeling the backrest slides back and for happy hour it slides forward for being part of the party. The other feature that I had on a different boat was a small foot pedal for running the water in the sink. Turn on pressure pump then use the foot pedal so no wasted water. You could also turn on the faucets. Little confused on the AC as I think you have a battery (power station) running a 120 volt battery charger charging a battery. Not to be a downer guy but that seems very inefficient due to power losses. Can you get a soft start on a 12volt AC unit I wonder? Now with that said if it works then it is a home run!!! Thanks for posting and I look forward to see your adventures!

    • @BecomingBev
      @BecomingBev  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I know…. It’s a tricky set up but so far so good. The company says it has a built in soft start. Hmmm?? Time will tell.

    • @JonniesJourney
      @JonniesJourney ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes the Velit has the soft start. These DC air conditioner units are a lot of power on systems. Hindsight an AC current unit would have been the answer but.... they are so big. I think we may have it figured out with a little power loss like you said. Thanks for your input, we appreciate it.

    • @danrandall794

    Great job overall - The counter wood is African Mahogany, referred to as sepele when milled for vertical grain as you have (also called ribbon grain) - Be careful with it as it's not as hard as "natural" mahogany, it tends to be soft enough to be easily dented/scratched but being solid wood it can always be swelled and/or sanded/refinished - You already know what I think about the ceiling over the bed.... Hoping to have a cocktail with you some time

    Very luxurious look you have there! Kudos to Jonnie for the excellent build! When you had the back doors open, it looked to me like a cross between a gypsy wagon and an Italian mansion. The only thing I would add would be mosquito netting (does it come in maroon?) for those times you want to keep the doors open but the flies, gnats, moths, and mosquitoes are searching for victims to sting, bite, dine on or otherwise annoy. Amazon sells yards and/or bolts of such netting. It's called tulle.

    For many years I embraced all things Victorian and into the Edwardian Gatsby era, convinced I lived a previous life then. :) I had a red velvet couch, red, gold, ivory and gold upholstered parlor chairs and footstools, Victorian lamps, dishes, art, frames+. A favorite aunt and uncle had a gallery-like red room in their turn- of-the-century house to display family collected antiques. Your last van was adorable; this new rolling work of art grows a big smile for me, too. I look forward to those theater-like curtains opening to your next flick!

    Beautiful! I passed through your area a few days ago (my first time in Missouri - stunningly beautiful) on my way to my cousin’s house outside Minneapolis. I’m resting here for a few days then headed to N.D. to work the beet harvest. I’m trying to earn enough $ to upgrade my tiny tow trailer to a lightly used Class C for two epic road trips I hope to make with my travel tribe from Louisiana to Key West then all the way up the East Coast to NovaScotia. Then next year to Alaska up the west side of the US.
