22 minutes of nomadic fanatic. Please make long videos like this Eric lol. Your awesome
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! I really love a snow covered forest (especially when I am toasty warm in my home) The counter looks great. Thank you for sharing, safe travels and God bless.
It is awesome that you are matching your RV to the King. Long Live Jax!! :)
It's great to see things finally going well for you & Jax! You look more confident. The snow is beautiful & is lovely to watch, especially at that park...just sucks to drive in it!
The Calmest and most connected I've seen you in a long time Eric! Just makin videos and living life! Congrats my friend!
Eric, I really enjoy your longer videos. You covered so much in this. I learned an option for beautifying the counters in our camper and also got to see the lovely snow on those NW cedars. So much to love about this. Safe travels to warmer weather.
Major JAX close-ups! I just love that cat!!!! He wanted to be the center of attention & he knows how to get it!!!
You can get large diameter vinyl tubing in the plumbing section of Home Depot. A foot of it will fit over the security chain and protect your bike from wear at the contact points. That stick on "Marble" came out pretty nice. The park in the snow was beautiful. I love the ambient quiet the snow brings.
The last snow scene is beautiful! Just perfect..safe travels. 😍
The counter came out looking fantastic! You’re right about your security keeps people honest!
Love your countertop!! You did a good job!
Tire chain install tip. Drive your inside tire up onto a leveling block or two to get the outside tire off the ground enough to allow for easier chain install. This allows you to completely adjust the chains around the tire and get everything pretty tight right off the bat.
Great idea!
That snow is awesome. And, "Honesty is the Best Policy"!!! I wish there were More men like you. Keep up the Great Job!
The northwest is so beautiful, even when it's slushy! Take care, be safe and as Ausia says, Onward Bound!
That park at the end! WOW!
I agree with others...time to paint the cabinets white and change the handles to brushed nickel. Pro tip....if you should decide to to the counter tops again, get yourself a braver and burnishing tool. It will make getting the bubbles out easier and around the edges nice a smooth. Thank you for sharing....it does look good.
Great Gear! Looks Sharp! Love the way you put Jax and you in the bottom two corners of this video. They always say there is a first time for everything. Your counter looks nice.
I installed the same backsplash in my RV. Helps to add a little contrast and brightens an otherwise blah wall paper. I also put a nice wood molding into the corners. Looks real nice. 👍
Am I the only one who goes meow every time the beginning starts up before the episode LOL along with Jaxs..🙏🐱🐱... living the dream
The snow is so beautiful. Thank you for sending it my way.
You did a great job on your security and the chain being white really makes it visible! Thieves want to get in and out, hit and run, they will go to an easier target, Take Care!
Good Vid lots of scenery, and great project an a nice looking result.
Jacks he looks like and acts like my old cat Big Foot he was huge like Jacks and loving, it warms my heart to see you enjoy Jacks like i did with Big foot.
Nice job on the counter top! Love the peace, stillness and tranquility of the snowy environments.
The backsplash is fab. Jax is a star!
Love the vid. Captured the snow beautifully. I'd have wanted to stay a little longer...soooo peaceful.
Nice counter option. If you want to cover imperfections, or add to avoid wear...consider finishing with border strips. They add a nice touch. So resourceful! 😁
Love your new riding outfit. You've added all the right stuff to get protection 👍that's all that matters.
Sorry to see you leave such lush beauty behind. Hope you are able to keep some green in the future scenes.
Take your time, don't rush.
Be safe...and 🤗 hug that adorable furry more!! He loves his dad. 😺
What a great idea to put the peel and stick on the counter. Looks so much better too!
Beautiful ending scenery. Something we've never experienced.
The counter top looks good.
What a beautiful part of the world the Pacific Northwest is......it looks absolutely majestic in the snow.
Hi Eric. Very nice video. Stay cozy. I have the same model Tioga 2003. I am putting insulation in it this week, I studied what insulation is best & ordered some waterproof thick vinyl type. I am also sanding & painting the cabinets. See ya on the road maybe!
The snow is beautiful, I know it's not fun to drive in but it sure is pretty.
Hi Eric and Jax, your bike gear looks awesome, and the countertop rest looks nice, Good job on that. Thank you for a great video, as usual you never disappoint us. I’ve learned so much from watching your videos and can’t wait to get on the road someday soon. So glad you take the needed precautions to keep you and Jax safe , such a strange world. Safe and Happy travels. Much Love and Peace 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Just a suggestion, white wash your cabinets and update your handles! That will totally make it pop! Looks good!
Yeap. Dump them gold handles...... For sure...
Or paint the handles an updated color with rustoleum. Worked nice for us.
I disagree on the white wash, he just got rid of white, the natural oak adds a little warmth, changing out the handles to a dark gray brushed gun metal finish is all that is needed to balance it out. Painted white surfaces don't look that good unless a lot of time in prep work goes into it, they also show wear, and dirt easier and begin to look worn quicker, the oak doesn't, and is more practical for the RV,
There's a product called appliance epoxy paint that does a quick and fabulous job on cabinet handles.
maynardcat you obviously have no idea what you’re talking about
Excellent look for your counter tops. Blends well with the backsplash. Snow looks awesome on the cedar trees.
Trees and snow is glorious!!
Those snow covered trees at the end of your video were beautiful. It would be hard for me to leave an area like that if I was there. I love trees and when they have snow on them like that, I love them even more. But for me? I've always loved snow. I've never been big on the hotter months. Fall and Winter all the way! I do agree with you though Eric, I don't like driving on ice. That's really the only part of the cold months that bug me. Snow is good, but I can't stand ice. Anyway, just wanted to say I love the snow scenery in your video today. Great stuff. Be safe on the road man. :)
kornfreak78 My sentiments exactly!
Glad to see you home with us. Safe travels friend ❤️
That faux marble countertop is amazing!
The countertop looks really great! It looks good with the backsplash.
Wow! Snowing really good... in your beard too... LOL..I like when you show how to actually remodel... that helps us to know how.. Thanks Eric for taking the time to do that for us viewers...I hope and pray you never get broke into or anything stolen...your a good guy Eric.
I love watching you and Jax. I live in an RV in Florida. I wish I was on the road traveling. You're awesome, you've got everything under control. Some people will always be negative. Counter and back splash look good. I did the same with mine. Wishing you safe travels.
Countertop looks great! If you cut a strip same as the counter edge you can hide any imperfections. Need to switch to black handles on cabinets. Either paint them or replace. Nice job!!
Seems like Washington state decided to give you some beautiful views for your visit. I'd find it hard to leave that white scenery. Counter top looks way better. I'm not a huge fan of the corners and curves. It came out as good as that can get though and it looks like it was a simple project. Caulking looks great! I'm not sure if you've seen that counter top granite paint? Newer RVs are coming with that standard instead of those old white counter top that never stays clean. If you get tired of the corners and decide to redo your counters, you might give that paint a try. Also, appreciate you sprinkling in recording these little projects. I feel like your handyman skills are at the novice level and seeing normal people tackle these sorts of projects gives me more confidence to do my own. Even the mistakes are nice to see because I know I'll screw up myself and it's nice to see that the world doesn't end if everything isn't perfect.
I really enjoyed the new look of your counter tops and I'm glad you showed the caulking, you have done great with everything.
As for keeping you and Jax and all of your property safe and secure, you appear like a rolling fort Knox, you handle yourself very well on the road, you definitely have lots of experience so no need to worry about what anyone else thinks, you're doing great 👍
Happy Trails ☺
I like your new countertop covering, and I couldn't caulk any better myself, it isn't easy to caulk. Glad you got chains and retrofitted. Also, you really got your bike secured. Nice bike and suit.
I do love how pretty the snow is, but not to fond of the cold that comes with it, but I would rather be snowed on then rained on, especially out west where it is more typically dry powdery snow. I lived in and went to college in Northern Utah, (because I was a skier - back when I could handle the cold better - particularly dry cold versus damp cold). Which is why I love the climate out it Utah, dry cold in the winter and dry heat in the summer. Oh, I didn't get sick so often when I was out there either. I really miss the geography out west, but my family is in Texas and I love being with my family members.
You did a good job transforming the counter top. The snow on the trees in the forest was breathtaking. Be safe.
Sorry you had to get cold to show us the snow, but thanks! Very beautiful! Safe travels.
You got it all covered Eric. Prepared for everything! Love the counters. Safe travels...
What ever makes you feel safe is not extreme. Nice job on the counter top.
I love that you are being considerate for us "moms" out here that worry about your safety. :) Great video again!
Like your kitchen upgrades - nice and fresh. The very last part of the video was so beautiful with the snow softly falling on the trees. Gorgeous.
Countertop looks great! What a difference
Counters came out crazy good bro!
I love the motorcycle gear and the wires in the back of the rv. You are ready to rock n roll!
JAX IS KING! Counters look great!
Safe travels! ❤JAX!
EM F I love traveling. But for my channel I decided to start doing phone pranks and when I get my camera in June I'll be able to do all kinds of interesting things with that. Improvement that's what counts!.
Mr. Jax is being a lover boy. Counter top looks good, sure looks a lot better than before you covered it. Snow on the trees is beautiful.
Nice job. I’m glad to hear you sealed those seams around the sink. I didn’t and learned that lesson.
I like your philosophy on security measures. Keeping them honest. Yep, that’s good and simple.
I love the countertop and the backsplash. Those are the exact ones I want to get when I get my travel trailer. good job
Yes and I LOVE THE COUNTER - great job done!!
Good job Eric. I use chains but only on the outside. I use my ramps on inside tire to lift and make install easy. A trucker friend of mine told me that I don’t need to install on inside tire. In fact he said you risk damaging tires. I will admit I never looked up highway rules. But I do fine only chaining outside
Safe travels!
Beautiful snowfall among the trees.
A suggestion to protect the frame paintwork from the chain. Use a piece of inner-tube to wrap around the chain at appropriate places and hold in place by either wrapping it with twine or use 100-mile-an-hour-tape (aka gaff tape). Keep warm!
I know it's treacherous driving in snow and ice, but I would just have to find a place to park and stay there til the snow was gone. I love it. I hate the heat! I'm actually allergic to the sun. No kidding. Have a safe travels!
Eric you are doing a great job. Just keep doing it. And enjoy it all.
Wow! Those counters look amazing.
Yes, pleasantly surprised at how nice it came out.
LOVE the counter tops!. Your sink looks a little dull. If you want it to look shiny and new you can put some baking soda, dry, in it and rub it with a dry cloth. It will look as sparkly and new as your gorgeous counter tops. Those counters with the backsplash look AWESOME!
That 'Marble tile' looks great! Good job, Eric!
the counter top change was awesome.
WOW, the scenery is amazing, you really should be in show business.
Hey Eric-April from Bismarck here. Way to go on the counter! It looks good. Doing a diy backsplash in my kitchen as we speak-wish me luck. Noticed you have the brass handles like we did in our camper. A cheap and easy way to update them is to get a good spray paint-I think we got rustoleum in a textured bronze color. We painted all the handles, hinges and screws for around $10. Very happy with it.
Love the counter revamp. Crazy weather!
Really like the way you changed up the counter top and it looks good with back splash. Now just maybe change or refinish the drawer/ door handles to silver. I liked the way Jax was right there saying "I want some attention right now please". Lol he definitely gets his point across when he wants or needs something. Also like snow but agree that I hate driving on it because the chance of ice. Good video. Thanks
I'm been in Vancouver Washington for 10 yrs now & our weather is bipolar! It's great to see this video & your last (I'm from northern Cali).
Stay safe, have a blast!
My friend use a heat gun for the corners heat it up and it'll mold into its place
👍 all the best Eric & Jax
LOOKS REALLY GOOD. I may do this to the counter tops in my sticks n bricks home!! Good, great job!!
It is so pretty and peaceful where you were!
That countertop looks really good! The color was a great choice
Countertop is a major improvement! Great choice on the colors.
Love your show how to do videos, very helpful, snow is nice but be careful of others and their driving, thanks for the detail in your videos, helpful, best to you and Jax and the new companion be safe all three of you.
So Eric been following you and Jax for a bit.......living the dream through your videos. So what I am not getting is why others are so down on you. You seem to be just tavelin and being yourself share tips and special places you have been. Are you different off camera around people? To me you seem like a great guy. Anyway keep doing what your doing.....luv your videos
Eric you do what you need to do to keep safe.
did a pretty good job on that countertop does look one hundred percent better you put so much money in keeping it running as best as possible so the inside should reflect that too plus it's your home and everyone wants they're home to be comfortable and aesthetically pleasing so thumbs up on that.
The park at the end of your video looks so beautiful in the snow.
very nice and I am sure Jax enjoys his new counter top as well.
Counter looks good.
It turned out nice. Im loving the snow. I miss Washington.
Oh wow! The snow is beautiful!,,
Love your countertops and so glad you’re safe and secure. Thanks for the beautiful views. The snow is nice to see, but glad not to be dealing with it! Safe travels.
The sticky marble is great. What a great fix for that. Yes, you need rubber or something on the chain. Poor Yammy.
I don't know if you'll read this, Eric, but I wanted to suggest a cheap, easy protection for the chain through your bike. I know you say it's okay, but consider this. Hardware stores sell pipe insulation in a variety of sizes. It's already split and can be cut to fit wherever you want it to go between the bike and chain. I've used it for years to prevent rubbing, chafing or any issues such as that. It's pretty tough and stays put in most cases. Just an FYI. Hugs to Jax.
Counter looks nice, job well done
Doing a great job. All that security is a great thing. I think it even helped that other person who got hit that you had the video of the Canadian. And proving that you haven't parked over parked perfect. Keep doing a great job
Counter looks so much better!
Nice job on the countertop. If you wanted to get real fancy with the bike lock chain you can go to an electrical supply store and get some big shrink wrap tubing and shrink it to the chain to protect your bikes finish and it makes a relatively cheap chain look like one of the expensive ones.
Hi Eric, you might want to get a bicycle or motorcycle inner tube ,cut it and slide it over the chain to protect your bikes frame. hope that helps. kep the videos coming.
I just wrote that idea Eddie before I read your post and had to delete it lol. Yep, thats what I'd do with the chain.
Very nice looking counter tops! I like seeing the snow fall it's like slow motion.
First! Nomadic, beautiful snow and beautiful Jax!
The snow looks beautiful in that part of the country. You countertop looks awesome! Stay warm!
The suggestion to Paint cabinets white would really look awesome!
Looks so much better. Great job Eric
