Not sure if you know but LED light do not attract bugs as much as incondesent bulbs. Something about the UV spectrum and possibly heat which most incondesent bulbs have. Great that it is above the door reducing the amount of bugs potentially coming inside. Awesome TV set up!
You get as excited about large screen TV's as I do, so I totally get it.
After years of way smaller TV's, I now have a 55" in my master bedroom ...and loving it!
Enjoy! 👍
Bailey G I’m sixty nine and you know what I still find plenty to do in the bedroom without watching TV. 😂👍
@@okcantbelieveit294 😉😎😀 Good for you!! 👍👌
I like how the booth seating frames out your new TV. The new upgrades on your rig are.....Genius!
After watching the video twice I just came up with another great idea if you put a 360 camera on the side of the RV that the TV is on and hook it up to the big screen TV it'll be just like looking out the window but even better because you'll be able to see everything also the little TV upfront above the dash you can put a camera on the back of the vehicle and use it as a backup camera and if you have a TV in the back bedroom you can also hook that up to the cameras nowadays you can get the wireless cameras that will send a signal r-cast to signal right to the TVs so this would work for all three of them and even if the smaller TVs are older TVs they have a device that goes into the RCA plugs most of the wireless cameras sold the device is included I believe the hooks up to the TV I've seen this done on semi trucks and its really really neat it even allows you to see at night time when there's very dim lighting I wish you all the best and as always thanks for sharing with everyone watching
Not sure if needed, but may want to try to get rubber bumpers behind the 4 corners of the TV to prevent vibration and rattling when driving down bumpy road... Looks Great!!
Good call! Thanks.
Nomadic Fanatic Eric, the 4k are almost obsolete. We have been getting our sports broadcasts in 4 k for a year and now we are going to 8k. You Amercans are so slow these days. Haha. Enjoying your videos.
@@classicscustomsandhotrodso600 it's been proven that the human eye can't even tell a difference between anything over 4K🙄
Dieselman40 Mate, I am Australian. We have an art form we share with Britts and New Zealanders. It’s called taking the piss. Don’t take it too seriously. Personally I don’t own even a 4k.
@@nomadicfanatic Is enough air behind the woodconstruction and the window? cause I think about mold
Place a camera on the outside of the dinette wall and send the signal to this new set and you will still have your dining window view ; )
Dean H Clever, Dean!
Great idea, hopefully he has an image of the window (surrounding wall) to align with the window to really create the illusion. ;-)
Lol that solves the prime window problem
Agreed👍
or he could add an image of the sun to get more light
Now you can watch me on the big screen! Wohoo! CVK
Yup! Tuck Tuck looks HUGE on this TV!
Now, all you need is to mount an HD camera above the window you just covered with the TV, so you can get your view back!
Richard Owens LOL😂
Jax 🐱 Is Going To Love The New TV When You Have It In Fish Tank Mod Or Birds On The Screen 🐾🐾 🐱
ross adamthwaite and fireplace DVD too!
I put I a projector. Now that was something special. I got it to 67 inches. I forgot I was in my rv. That a cool experience.
Instead of the plywood I would suggest cutting a piece of Reflectix for the window, then filling the voids with foam insulation, and stapling a plastic vapor barrier over the inside. Then I would cover that with the fabric.
How will you keep the tv from getting the crap jiggled out it going down the road?
Damn!! Batchelor pad on wheels is coming along nicely!! Amazon will ALWAYS get you in trouble. Enjoy!!
Guess you should have kept the couch? So in my last comment I think I said your in to woods with a beautiful rv, you’re going to love forever. And now a 60 inch tv. Not only are you going to live forever, your now living every mans dream! I’m quite jealous.
love that light! it may be the next RV purchase.
Glad you mentioned the power output. It's crazy how much better recent technology is than stuff from even a few years ago.
COOL!!! Can’t wait to see the remodel of the bunk beds to office space! You are pretty darn handy!
The TV has always been one of my biggest issues/concerns with going full time someday. 100k fifth wheels or even way more expensive class As and they all have tiny tvs. I guess the manufactures didn't take either full timers into account or that maybe people aren't going spend every second outside.
It's Spring time Eric, what better time to take you and Jax and all of us and head North to Alaska. I can't go but you're very good at sharing so good luck on all your adventures, Cheers.
You need to upgrade your Netflix subscription for 4k... you loaded up HD content which is 1080p.
Next is the loveseat recliners for us too! It’s just my husband & I and our two chihuahua sisters. 💕💕
Recliner, loveseat Couch... with a fold up desk.Perfect editing station !
Wow, that’s awesome! Using your other tv as a security monitor is a great idea...I always get great ideas from watching your channel.
Hope you’re having a wonderful day.
Hugs from Texas
I absolutely LOVE that weather! What a beautifully chill way to spend a day. Listening to the rain on the awning while enjoying some great coffee!
if you stay during the winter in the pacific northwest, you will get mold growing on the rubber of the window frame behind that tv and on that fabric and wood and probably the wall as well. i run an de humidifer all the time, a big one all winter and i still get it growing on the rubber window tracks, and on walls that get condensation. its a constant battle and you need to be able to check areas of the rv. something to consider...if your in a dry area in winter not a problem im sure.
Okay, now you're talkin' living on the road!
Am I the only female who likes a huge tv to watch movies or even a really good tv show? I agree with a must have comfy recliner also. Good going Eric.
I was able to fit a 49" in the factory location . So all the hookups are behind the TV . I bought a True 4K DVD player with HDR and put in a cabinet beside the TV . Both remotes are Blue tooth , so the DVD player can be hidden away . I only have 6 4K disc , but they look great . If you buy a DVD player , make sure its not just a upscaling machine .
You are too funny and adorable. It's big, but it is beautiful. Cool man cave!
Leaving the other TV for security purposes is an excellent👍👏 idea.
In such a relatively small space, I would get rid of the antiquated TV in the bedroom and utilize that space for extra storage.
I think it's very cool that you're customizing it the way you want, after all, it's your house and it should be your way.
For those who've disparaging comments...to hell with that.
You've always been most fortunate to recoup if/when you ever decide to eventually sell.
Have fun and safe travels.
🙂
Recliner & HDTV that's all you need in life. The best part is: you have no room for a wife!
MGTOW Fanatic rides again
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha Love that one, What could be Better than a No Nagging Wife with No Remote Lolololol.
Its coming together nicely
Im happy for ya. Id have done an automatic pop up TV there and went 55 inch to keep the wimdow.. but hey. It looks great.
Finally an RV guy who is on my frequency 🙏
I get a chuckle out of how you get so excited about making things so efficient. I love that too!
Dang, now that's an upgrade! Now you can watch NASCAR racing in style. Getting your home all set up. Like that motion light. Good for you. 😊👍
Oh my goodness!!! As my grand daughter says.... that’s a big tv!!! However it looks so nice there. Also just in time for football!!!!👍👍
I replaced a number of outdoor lights with LED and have found that I don't have a bug problem. Bugs like UV and most LED lights don't produce UV so very few bugs and no ugly yellow lights needed. In TV's I'm with you the biggest one I can fit and afford is just a little too small LOL
Unlikely...unlikely....
Poor people have big tv screens, rich people have big bookshelves.
Smart people have big TV's AND a kindle or an ipad for their library of books.
LOVE the light Eric!!! lights up real goo!!!! We have a 55inch t.v. in our livingroom that we're putting in our RV, when we go on the road!!! LOVES/HUGS!!!!
Eric, it went easy because you had a helper! Be sure to find some movies that Jax will enjoy! Have fun and be safe.
Large Eric, Large Jax, Large RV, Large TV and soon Large Recliner Couch! Eric & Jax Living Large On The Road Man!
I did the same exact thing in the same spot except its a 75" . I dont see how people can stand to view a 30" yuck, 40" uh uh, 50 " decent, 60" good, 75" Groovy ! I was happy to cover the big window just because I always felt insecure about how low and large the glass was to where a scoundrel could peek in of come a smashing though !
Two things I would have done differently;
1) Rather than all the window modifications, I would have mounted it to the table.
2) I would have placed silver reflector on the window to
keep the sun-heat down on the back of the screen.
That said, it looks awesome. A perfect mobile man-cave.
I am so very impressed and proud of you. I am sure Jax will enjoy watching the Cat channel on You Tube also.
Just recently found your channel and now going back and watching your old videos. You have such a cool and unique lifestyle, one I would honestly love to have. Thanks for sharing your life with us on TH-cam!
Glad to see you customizing your RV. The TV looks great! Can't wait to see what you do with your seating.
Thank you Eric. I just bought my tv and was wondering how to hang it. Now I know.
I'm now challenged with making a 75 inch TV fit in my class C RV. This has given me some ideas but I don't want to sacrifice a window. I'm thinking about building a frame on the roof and putting it on some heavy duty hinges with gas springs so that when I don't want to watch TV, I can fold it up into the ceiling
So happy for you Eric! You have worked hard and built an amazing channel and so you deserve to have some things that make you feel more like home! CONGRATS!!!! Awesome TV!!!
It's the little things (and larger little things) that can make life a lot more comfy. Enjoy!❤👍
I wanted to block our table side window for a 55 inch t.v. ( do I put a dot here ? ) why not . My ol' lady was all like " Never happen , the Dingo and Stew man ( We have a half dingo mix and a shih tzu ) Need to see outside . " LOL Well , I lost .... But I did at least just upgrade from 13 inch to 32 inch ! Only because I am re doing the entire motorhome at the moment . Looks great man and that light is next on my list to order ! Pet Jax for me !
You gotta have the scene with Han Solo frozen in carbonite playing & pan back & forth between the TV & your fridge! 😉
I lived in Yelm Washington as a teenager, right down the road from Lacey. Very good memories in that part of the country.
That’s Awsome Eric. Looks good in the space. I love my OLED Samsung I just got the picture on these new TVs are crazy. Hope you and Jax enjoy it.
Never too big, Id get a projector and inflatable screen for outdoor PS4 action. Love the Tater! keep it up Brother.
yea dude Ive seen them I got me a 1080-p projector and love it . Watch star wars is wow.
Cool! The RV is getting real comfy for you and jax! Keep it up, been following your travels for a good few years now. Just the best RV channel!
Bruh, I have a 50 inch 4k TV in my living room, in my HOUSE. You are definitely one of the few, if not the only person with a TV of that caliber in your RV.
Hehe. Go big or go home! Well, I'm home anyway, so yeah. :)
They are really good to do video editing on btw...the UI is bigger and easier to use etc...4K rocks! Also PC games become life size which was a real surprise to me...Laurie
That is awesome and not crazy at all. I was thinking of putting a fold down one in my van, so I totally get it!
Love that light... really like how it lights up your camp!! WOWOWO what a TV!! lol xoxox Jax :)
Always enjoy watching your upgrade videos.
Oh Cool! I'm fixing my TV to the side wall now. You do have the details of the frame. Thanks so much. Mine will be a little different because I'm putting on the side wall after I reinforce it. I do like the windows in my little WYSIWYG. I've been dreaming of doing this too! You have inspired me so!
Dooood that is bad to the bone. I cant believe it. 60 inch in a RV wow man. Congratulations.
Eric Man That tv rocks with the Recliner man I'm loving it and the Motion sensor camera light is way cool I'm going to get both of them for our 5th wheel thank you man
Kudos to your helper too!
I changed out the LED bulb on that outside light to a yellow/orange colored bulb. The bulb I got also can rotate so I could aim it down toward the steps and entry.
Ahhh...every man's fantasy... to have big screen TV ... Good birthday present from us ...Eric ... glad you like it ... Exactly what we were hoping you had ... to go over that dreadful window ... TV is so much better... We can tell you like it ... Happy Birthday !!!
In your expense video you left out all you fun purchases plus camera equipment, video equipment, TV’s, scooters, drones, upgrades, games, toys and numerous RV repairs and new RV’s every so often. Can’t forget these items.
Great light ! Looks tons better !!! Tv looks like it was made for that spot . Looks tons better ! Great video Eric ! ❤️❤️❤️
Nice television and only 4 amps. That is amazing.
Could you provide the model number or a link to that set. Thanks.
Love the light and love the TV but most of all love your attention to details and your appreciation for neat and tidy work! Neatness does count! Please come to my house.....I have projects and I don't want cords to show (lol). Give Jax a pet for me!
You are such a happy camper! I smiled all the way through this video, right along with you! Stay happy, Eric!
Love the same amount of haters every video that dislike the video, so interesting that they don't stop. What it shows is that they are more dedicated to living your life than their own. In a way it is a twisted form of love. Funny but sad.
Nice upgrades... I would paint the top half wood behind the tv black. Enjoy...when it comes to TV's bigger always better.
I put a 32 inch TV next to my 65 inch Samsung and it looked so tiny LOL. the 65 inch uses a lot of watts though around 100 watts in real time. and the old LG 42LH3000 LCD uses 169 watts real time.
you should add something to the window like han solo on your fridge so it looks like someone is in the window :P
I'm happy for you Eric. You deserve all you get. I don't know that I would give up my window though.
Size is a personal thing, but on a more practical note - we don't have the capacity to see in 4K. I was very thankful to come across a science based TH-cam video that explained that. What people who come up with these things need to do is see what the maximum definition is that it's humanly possible to distinguish and stop there. Otherwise they are just fleecing people.
WooooW That tv and RV is amazing. You really are a creative and brilliant guy Eric. Still watching your videos :) In fact they are helping me through a hard time. My mom got sick (Dementia), and im glad your videos are helping me put my mind off it from time to time. So thank you very much for your amazing youtube videos. Best wishes :)
Cool light, it'd be great if they have a bug light lens.
Congrats on the clean TV install. There's a reason skilled labor isn't cheap. I had no idea you can stream 4k via cell connection. Imagine doing that with a regular data plan 😮
This is awesome, I'm looking at changing from a travel trailer to a class A and finding that it's not as easy to have that good viewing position but this has given me some great option ideas!
Your a long way from that old black van! Congrats Eric you done good!
Eric, So glad you are back in the Northwest. Love your mods and your camp locations.
Eric what about any moisture condensation build up from window behind TV? Mold mildew? Hope not looks great. Happy B’day
The TV looks great.
WOW, huge tv and I really like the light.. Nice video, thanks for sharing, Lo :)
The man cave coming together nicely
I'm currently searching for a way to get a screen larger than my 32" in my 5th wheel. There is just no place to put it.
Nice dude. I went with all led lights, and a 32" 12volt with built in dvd. With all my solar I can turn every light on, run tv, refrigerator, and anything else plus my inverter runs the AC 24hrs on battery power. I love that big tv for sure. I just elected to run all 12volt.
I can see the plywood in back and above the TV. Thought you were going to cover it
Does look good in that space.
I have a Samsung 4k 50 in tv & love it - nice upgrades.
According to the charts, you can sit up to 8' away from screen without losing the 4K effect.
Hey Eric. Did you think about just putting the tv over the drivers bay? That way could still see from dinette AND recliner. Also, wouldn't block a window.
WOW! That is unbelievable!!!
I was thinking if you were going to be in the land of “forever rain”, you needed a bigger tv. Good move.
Always love your videos, going to put my 30 inch in my big van but dont think I'll be doing it like yours, my brother said I could put mine on one of those swing outs, pretty light tv for being that big. I like the way you are doing yours better though, may build some kind of frame behind my drivers seat and build it to be able to hold the tv like how you are doing yours. Ahhh you have some great gameing system platforms, I just have the xbox but would love to have them all lol. Anyway, thanx for the tips and safe travels to you and cute little Jax :)
Wow!! Just Wow!
The recliners that are joined with cup holders do not have a flat area for coffee mugs or food where you would want a flat surface.
60 in.! You own a drive in!!!
Nice tv! Love the security light👍good for you Eric❤️❤️
Nice Light, looked like a easy replacement, how much? Wow you have like movie theater! Easy is a good thing!
That LED will save on your energy usage, won't drain those batteries. Home sweet home coming together. Good luck finding just the right chairs or loveseat for your space. Eric your making everything look easy.
