DON'T OVERSPEND ON RV MODS 💰 (Full-time RV)

- Congratulations to Fernando Hernandez for guessing correctly - we currently use 49 3M strips in the camper!!
If it ain't broke, don't fix it 💯 But that doesn't mean you can't make improvements 😄 we have lived in our Grand Design Imagine 2600RB full-time for FOUR years now! Still can't believe that sometimes 😳
In those four years, we've made some upgrades and modifications to the camper - but we are big advocates of not spending a ton of money on the fancy stuff! It has taken us several years to make some of these mods, but they have definitely been worth it.

What are your guesses for the end question!? Write them down below! 👇👇👇
We are guessing 48 strips.
@@nicholasgreenman1984 thank you!
26 3m strips. Love your videos.
I bid $1! 😂 Actually, I will say 33 3M strips. 👍🏻
Loved this! Our guess for 3M strips is 30.
The light fixtures over your theater seats and dinette, are they factory? We have a 2020 2600RB and we have standard issue “trailer lights” we liked yours. Are they 12v?
Thanks for the great video. More please !! ❤️👍🏼
Treats for Calli!
great tips guys!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!! ♥♥♥
Great, great information. Thanks. Have no clue...maybe 122?????
Thank you, Betty Jo! Good hearing from you!
Lol. Okay the toilet paper holder. We have ours inside the cabinet on the door. Hides it and doesnt take up any wall space. And my guess for the 3M strips is 53. Lol
I might have to try that one out, I've had a couple people recommend that. Thanks, guys!
43 command strips!❤️
🤔🤔🤔
Thanks
163 3M strips, nice video
Thank you, Mark!
Oh and we have our TP holder inside the cabinet door under the sink. But our toilet is not across from it, so sit down and see where you reach best lol
probably our best bet! 😂
I am gonna guess = 45. Those things are awesome.
I agree!
we just did the same thing recently same issue with the old toilet!
Hopefully we won't have to mess with it again!
I love video and I guess 47 command strips.
Thank you!
When of if that Dyson ever dies take a look at the Tineco cordless vac. (I love cordless anything). I bought the next to the bottom of the line and it has been great! There are other good things I could say about it but I don't want you to think I am trying to advertise on your channel! I like watching you 3...keep up the good work!
Good to know! Thank you!
43 3M strips love your videos
Thank you, Mark!
i would say 75 command strips and we put our toilet roller thingy on the drawer in from of the toilet!
Thanks, Mary!

Thanks for another great video. I’m gonna guess 57 3M strips.
Thank you!
They look good got some Ideas thanks 84
No problem 👍
We have a toilet paper holder just like the one you have. Just a suggestion put it up on an angle, if not the roll will fall off every time you use it. Ours is permanent and can’t be moved. Stay safe.
Good idea, Linda! Thank you!
My guess is 23 3M strips. :)
Good guess! 👌
We were just looking at these model at our big RV show. Checks a lot of boxes. The new models now come with a hitch receiver for bike racks. That alone sold me! 😂
The towel hooks in the bathroom, is it safe to assume those are attached with 3M tape as well?
200+ M3 Strips
I’m going to say 63 3m strips
Thanks for the guess, Joshua!

Thank you for your guess!
I use the clear hook 3M things for my dream catchers near our RV bedroom windows. Looks classy.
TP holder inside vanity door.
Great video. I’m guessing 38 strips.
Thank you, Mark!
My guess is 27 3m stips
Thanks, Walter!
Great vid. Thanks! The full RV isn't accessible when doing a quick overnight (with the slide in). If ya'll overnight somewhere (say a Cracker Barrel or Walmart), do you put your slide out. It's our fav floor plan but concerned about this. It's between the 2600RB and 2500RL.
We put the slide out! We were between the 2500RL and 2600RB too but ultimately decided we liked the 2600 more. No regrets! We've never had an issue putting the slide out in a parking lot overnight or any campground 😊
I’ve read that it’s not a good idea to use space heaters in RVs, as the wiring isn’t designed to handle the load for long periods. I’ve also watched videos about fires, etc due to space heaters. I take it you haven’t had any issues? We have a 2500 RL. Enjoying your adventures!
I can't speak to the wiring stuff really, but we've never had issues. I always make sure we have safer space heaters and don't normally leave them running when we're not in the rig. Thanks!
Always enjoy your channel !!!
......63....
Awesome, thank you!
27 3m strips :)
Good guess!
37 command strips
Thanks, Quincy!
41 is my guess?🤗❤
Thank you!
52 3m strips.
Thank you, Chris!
Of course Khali stole the show! Definitely the best feature of the camper.
Edit: The other half says 52.
She is the star!! Thank you so much!
I had the exact same T-paper holder and it fell off the wall. I live in AZ and I can’t use anything sticky or the heat melts it and ends up falling off😢. Hope it works for you!
Love your videos. My wife and I always look forward to your next video. Where did you get those spice racks in this video? I didn’t see them in your Amazon store.
I found it in your comments
Thanks so much! Hope they work out well for you!
53 3m strips is my guess
Thanks, Greg!
I say 21 strips
👌👌👌
We are guessing 36 strips
Thank you, Sean!
That’s awesome, thanks for the info. What kind of door lock do you have? And, do you like it?
It's the RVLock brand a.co/d/7GRaUiK and yes we love it!
I guess 18 strips
Good guess!
58 strips
Thanks, Kevin!
I have an ice maker like this that I use it in my clinic as an elementary school nurse. I no longer have to pull a cooler to the cafeteria and back every morning!
They're nice, right!? I'm so glad we're going into warm weather with one!
Make a video of the stuff u have purged!!!!
Great idea!
Loved the idea of the white board with the address on it.
It just helps remind me where we are! 😂
I WOULD HAVE TO SIT ON THE "THRONE" AND SEE WHERE THE MOST COMFORTABLE, ACCESSIBLE SPOT WOULD BE, AND IF YOU BOTH AGREE?? THAT'S THE SPOT.
😅
I'm going to guess 38!
Good guess friend! Miss you! Have you put up any in yours yet??
@@lifererouted well, I tried to put some up in the shower but mine fell right off! I guess I need Mike to teach me his ways! 🤣
77 command strips. Ice maker is almost a must. Enjoy your travels from a fellow Hoosier!
Thank you, Sean!
I'll guess 46 strips
Good guess!
100 strips
Thanks, Randall!
Hi we have had our camper 10 years 😮 we are starting to do some upgrades 1 thing we want to do is remove the couch & replace it & take our table out to.. can you send me the link for the front door window/ blind & the key less entry? Was it hard to replace the door window? Thank you !
My guess on strips 30
Im thinking 42 strips
Good guess!
Love the video. 85 3M strips.
Thank you so much! That's a lot, but they sure are useful!
Great idea with the desk! 👍
Thanks!
Great job! 26 strips
Thank you so much!
Nice job on the video! I’m going with 42 3M strips because it is the answer to Life, The Universe and Everything 😀
Thanks, Ron!
Thanks for the info! I guess 28 command strips
You're welcome, Wayne! Thank you!
Great Video!
I just discovered you yesterday! Looks like you're having a wonderful time and providing a great service too! 🎉
Perhaps a better 3M strip metric might be how many feet of 3M Strips, hahaha!
But since you asked... inside and outside total... 70! 😅
Cheers, Eric
Love the video… you guys have gotten really good in your editing process!! Well done! 😃
Thanks so much! 😊
By the way, I’m VERY impressed with you nice your rig has held up to 4 years of full timing! Well done taking such good care of it. 😃
25 command stripes
Ok our guess is 40 3M strips! We have 2600RB as well so very fun to watch your upgrades!
Thank you, Bob! Love hearing from people with a 2600!
Nice mods! I’m going with 25 3M strips
Awesome, thank you Andy!
You say about boondock camping check into Mile High campground in Maggie valley Nc just spent ten days there primitive camping awesome place great wildlife if you look into it let me know I know some good spots to sit with the Elk
Bob we just looked this one up and it looks amazing! Thank you so much for the suggestion, we'll try to make it there while we're in the Carolinas ❤
If you go try to get 11a area that’s a really good side we had 14 and also was great but harder to see elk in woods there but they did walk right up to us at dinner
70 strips. Very handy!
They are so handy!
When you travel, do you have to store away any of the items that ae on you r counter space? Can you make a "how we pack up and get the camper ready for travel" video??
Yes, most of the stuff gets stowed away. I have a video on here somewhere like that!
I can't find the Plano shelves you were talking about. Can you link them? It was a great idea!
Well, I can't find them on Amazon but I bought them from Walmart here: www.walmart.com/ip/Plano-22-W-x-14-D-x-48-H-4-Shelf-Plastic-Shelf-Unit-Black-200-lb-Capacity/32937983 I did have to cut the legs some for it to fit, but it was the closest fit I could find. Hope that helps!!
@@lifererouted thank you! It definitely does. Those closets aren't very useful for fulltimers without something like this.
Exactly! We put those in back in 2018 and they've worked great since. I can't imagine (no pun intended 😆) not having shelves in the bedroom!
I think you've used 76 3M strips. Are these the same as Command Hooks or similar? I was intrigued by your spice rack and think I'll put in something similar on either side of my stove.
The toilet paper holder should go to the right of the toilet (if you are both right-handed) and be in the most comfortable place for you to use it with the open part of the hook facing away so that when you pull the paper, it does not fall on the floor. Yes, it's obvious, but I've seen several installations that were reversed and thought I'd make sure to mention it.
What do you use for safety grab bars in your shower?
No grab bars that we've installed. Everything is standard!
We put our toilet paper holder on the inside of the bathroom sink cabinet door. It’s worked out perfect for us there. I replace the sticky back with alien tape, it works so much better. My guess for the number of 3M is 49!!!!
I've seen a few people do that. Great guess!!
Congratulations!! 🎉🎉🎉 You guessed correctly - we use 49 3M strips in the camper! Send us your mailing address at hello@lifererouted.com and we'll be sending you some swag!!
I'll go with 34 3M Strips. Travel Safe. Love the Mods.
Thank you, Randy!
I sold my house in August, and I'm in my motorhome full time.
I love how enthusiastic and creative you guys are..👍
Thanks so much!!
Lots of great tips. Really appreciate it. I want to know what truck you use to pull the RV. If it's a half ton is it big enough? Does it stop it ok as well.
Half ton 3.0 EcoDiesel. Love it!
Driving the same truck. 2014 with 113,000 miles.
Do you air bags on the back of your truck? Does it help? Also we have a Grand Design as well. It's the 17MKE. They say don't put bike racks on the back and I was wondering what you use to hold yours on the bumper.
@@JR-py9io Good question! No air bags. Our bike rack is in our Amazon store www.amazon.com/shop/lifererouted
We attached it to the bumper with a hitch receiver. No issues yet
Just found your channel as I’ve been nonstop watching TH-cam in anticipation of getting an RV. I live in southern Indiana and I have to say, as soon as I heard you two speak I was like, “Where are they from? They sound like Indiana.” ☺️ So I sifted through and watched your intro video. Love your videos. You’re full of all sorts of good knowledge!
Awesome to hear! Love hearing from fellow hoosiers! Welcome to our channel 😀
Where did you purchase the shelving used in the bedroom closet?
Thanks. Enjoy your videos.
Hey there! We bought them online somewhere I think. amzn.to/3E0x8Cv This is a close model, we had to cut the legs down to get it to fit!
Btw.. 43 3m stips lol
👌
71 3m Strips. Right?
Hmmm.... 🤔
38 Command Strips for the win. We put our TP holder on the inside of the door that goes under the sink. It's out of the way when not in use and we you are in there, simply open the door and BAM, TP. Also, love the bottle opener location. Thanks for sharing all of your upgrades with us.
Hey, guys! I've had several people suggest that spot. This may end up being quite the endeavor 😂
@@lifererouted incase it was unclear, the holder is actually attached to the inside of the door, not inside the cabinet.
I have the same TP holder in my camper. It works fantastic. I'm right handed so I put it bowl level on the wall to the right of the toilet.
Great idea! Thank you!
We had a 2150rb for many years with the exact same toilet paper holder. I installed in inside the left lower cabinet door. Out of the way when walking around the bathroom (no banged up knees) and easy to reach from the toilet when needed.🙂
That's a good spot, Matthew! I'll have to consider that!
Just starting out in a new camper and thx for the info I am guessing 56 3m strips
Woohoo! What rig did you go with? Thank you!
@@lifererouted 2022 rockwood mini lite 2509s
Love the videos I have a mini lite 25rbds and just got back pulling it on a 3000 mile trip. Had a blast I think y’all used 73 3m strips .
Awesome. Thank you!
I’m guessing that you have 52 3m strips. I love your videos. 🤗
Great guess! Thank you so much, Tamara! ❤❤❤
Our guess is 120 3m strips! 😊
Thank you guys!
Nice video! We're not full time, but are seasonal. Got rid of our 5th wheel and bought a smaller couples trailer. 1st thing we purchased for it - an ice maker!!! at $4.00 a bag at our campground and local stores, it will pay for itself quickly (as long as it doesn't break)!!!!
Thank you! What rig are you guys in now? We are LOVING the ice maker!
37, how did you arrive on choosing your bike rack? What are your thoughts on the jack it bike rack?
Good guess! I wanted a rail system that the bikes actually sat on. I have really loved it so far. I'm not sure what the jack it rack is honestly.
@@lifererouted can you tell me more about your hitch set up for the bike rack? We are looking at putting a bike rack on our travel trailer. We very much enjoy your videos!!!
Well, I really enjoy watching your videos over the last few years and have heard yaw talk a lot about the 3M strips many times, so, My guess is; (75) 3M Strips that yaw have attached to hold things up!!!
Thanks for watching, great guess!
