and thanks again expressvpn for sponsoring this video now we're gonna
change gears and let's talk about the changes I've made in this RV since I've
owned it yeah so I felt it time to do an updated little tour of my RV and kind of
show with you a lot of the changes that I've made what you're mostly just gonna
be the interior stuff but talk about every little aspect of the RV and what I
like and maybe what I would have done differently but definitely time to give
you a new tour of my RV Miranda here she's got two slides a big one here on
the passenger side which is giving me problems the teeth underneath the slide
mechanism are all chewed up it's very difficult to get this to go back in but
sometimes I'm gonna be parked somewhere like right now it's nice to have the
extra floor space we're about that lets me get inside
because I do not have to have this slide out to be able to use it
lots of under storage here got a few Christmas decorations around it right
now and here's the driver's side of the RV with the driver side slide out this
is where my new Rico dual recliner system is at so having the slide out
puts me farther away from the monster TV which I will show you in just a minute
also again lots and lots of storage underneath there's four on each side
well that's the water this is the part I don't like for winter because the water
pump itself is exposed on the outside of the RV with no protection or heat other
than that everything else seems to do okay this is the motorcycle carrier this
is where the motorcycle is stored while I'm driving it comes with a seven foot
ramp here that allows me to get a lot more room I remove the license plate
from here and popped it up to here where you can see it so that the motorcycle
isn't blocking it as well as I added LED strips on the back here so you can
definitely see my turn signals and brake lights they're not blocked by the wheels
talk about solar the thing I'm most happy with this RV may be the
modification that just makes everything work is the epic solar system
off-grid boondocking setup that I've had installed on this RV which makes it
possible and the brains of it I will show you but up on the roof we've got
four solar panels up there that are three hundred and twenty watts apiece so
I've got twelve hundred and eighty watts of solar permanently mounted to the roof
I was originally gonna go with just three and then possibly tilt those
panels in the wintertime when the sun's lower since I found out I had more room
I just added a fourth panel and therefore I get that 25% extra solar
anyway naturally and I don't have to climb up and down the roof at all so
yeah lots of watts of solar on the roof but we got to have a way to store it and
that's where this compartment here comes into play the brains of my solar
operation this is why I do not have to go to RV parks anymore and plug into
power why I don't have to run the generator for power I've got five
lithium batteries equaling 500 useable amp hours of storage a 3000 watt
inverter 150 amp charge controller there and my buddy Wayne Darby prepper Wayne
on YouTube installed system so that inside were tapped into
the fuse box inside which means every outlet in there works when I'm not
plugged in as if I were plugged in basically I don't know the difference
we'll go inside and I will show you an updated tour of Miranda here and so now
we will step into the RV and we'll take a little tour ready jacks so again both
slides are out right now but I'm going to kind of show you where those slides
would be when they are inside and we will start here in the living room
where I guess the most changes have happened not the most difficult changes
but the most has changed because most RVs have an uncomfortable couch and a
dinette and I no longer have either of those this is where the monstrous waste
of space four-person dinette used to be and now I have this nice convenient
little six drawer system keep filming gear and everything else in and there's
this monstrosity right here this is a 55 inch TV don't know if it's absolutely
the largest physical TV in an RV it is definitely fun to watch sports and
movies on this TV but the TV was just part of it that really uncomfortable
couch sofa that came with the RV was not working
that is why Jax and I upgraded to these awesome dual recliners with cup holders
and storage underneath here do you want to demonstrate how it works Jax once you
sit down you just pull this cord right here they're not like electrical or
anything and of course jackson's are gonna be
able to sit back but the recliner goes back it's a zero wall recliner and so
he'll sit there also then sit here when i get up to go get another barley pop
he'll steal this seat and then i'll go back over there because he likes the
warmest seat really did you don't need to do that right now i do have the front
curtains up here because i'm living in the RV right now and i don't really need
that but i can open it up and have a nice view this TV up here is used mainly
just for my epic security system which i'm not going to talk specifics because
i don't want there to be anything like like a loophole or something that i
leave but I installed seven exterior cameras
around the outside of the RV and also one inside here so that I can monitor
the RV while I'm away or I can simply just look out and find out what exactly
is going on at any corner of my RV also the interior camera is great because I
have the cameras hooked to the internet all the time a server so I can remotely
watch from my phone anywhere in the country I can see what Jax is doing on
the couch what's going on inside the RV in general I can even hang a little
thermometer up near it and see what the temperature is remotely in the RV and I
am getting a new alarm installed in the RV while I'm here in this location soon
yeah the TV is a very large TV but this is not just for like pleasure you know
this is my work vehicle but I also need to have a fun way to watch movies and I
have a lot of online streaming subscriptions oh by the way one of the
things I do to help me boost the signal because I do rely on that cellular
signal for Wi-Fi is I have a Wi-Fi booster I'm not using it right now but
there's the block for it and then up on the roof of my RV is the amplifier and
the exterior antenna which is going to give me much better signal strength to
the nearest cell phone tower to be able to have Wi-Fi on the road
alright let's stand back and look at this again remember this slide is out
right now so when I'm driving this slide this edge of the couch comes to right
there leaving me this whole section open and wide it's actually wider here than
it is in the hallway there that is kind of fixed I can't change any of that so
yeah we'll move on to the kitchen over here I've got my gas stove and my oven
I've got a microwave and as I mentioned every outlet and USB in the entire RV is
always hot always available on solar okay that's why I have my k-cup coffee
maker over here plugged into a power strip I can run that no problem off of
my solar batteries I've got storage under the sink which as
you can imagine once this slide comes in I do not have access to those two
drawers so nothing that I need on a regular basis is stored in there there
it's mostly just cleaning supplies I've got a dual basin sink there I hang up my
coats my keys and sunglasses here I've got my 100,000
subscriber plaque Claire we got my fridge and freezer with mr. Han so will
there in carbonite they're always running on gas propane for me
we've got Jax's bowl for water and food right here which reminds me I forgot to
point out the litter box kind of hidden and stealth right here in the corner
easy to maintain and clean and I just spray it every time he uses it and we
just keep up with that it's no biggie right no no big you know got storage for
pots and pans in here and and a lot more cupboard space for other foods you know
this is a line I had put in over the summer which is tapped into my existing
propane line so that I can plug in my catalytic heater directly off of the
propane line in the RV and then here is the old dual bunk bed situation there
were two bunk beds here taking up a bunch of space and I took those out and
converted this into my own little office most of the stuff on the desk is secured
to the desk those cameras need to move but everything else is secured by Velcro
velcro everything yes and I do want to get a better office chair let's go over
to the bathroom I have a nice big comfy shower in there mm-hmm I got my sink and
toilet and of course I have a nightlight in here that stays on all the time so
I'll cover that you can see it's always on might as well doesn't run any power
and it's an easy way to light up the bathroom in here so there's that and
that takes us to the master bedroom here and remember the slide is out right now
this is where I have made the biggest changes noticeably the bed now goes
north to south instead of east to west which meant when the slides in the in
position which this base would come to about right here the bed going this way
you couldn't access any of the drawers and even even these ones up here would
not open and there was no way to walk around the bed now with the slide in and
this change right here I can walk all the way around the bed
with the slide in Jack's you like that I got Jax's food right here an extra kitty
litter right here I kept one end table with a drawer fan and a light this
window here can open let in some air with a screen it's also an emergency
exit and we do have our little mattress here very nice comfortable mattress
there got my massive magnet board here I do have a lot of magnets but this is the
largest magnet board that you've ever seen this is 6 feet long by 4 feet tall
got it on Amazon for a hundred and eighty dollars and right now I have
removed the old TV that was right here I don't use it I'm gonna do something else
like storage here otherwise I've got all my clothes hung up my jeans are kind of
piled up down here and my sweaters and hoodies socks the boxers in one drawer
and utilizing every bit of storage yes this is where Jack spends about 18 hours
a day sleeping on the bed yes Sims does yes so did I cover everything that's
basically the four main remodels the couch converted to the dual recliner the
dinette converted into the TV area the bed switching that so that it's a walk
around with the slide in and of course my office space with the dual bunk area
that is how I mostly I have made this RV mine and comfortable for both of us on
the road full-time so anyway I just wanted to update I've had lots of people
ask me what the RV looks like now eight months after I got it in this box right
here I have some awesome news it's been exactly a year since I introduced
stickers on this channel and right away and those featured the old RV Yoda so it
was time to stop into a bullet-proof works over there and had some new
stickers made for the channel it's a new type of material it is UV resistant and
a hundred percent waterproof it features the new RV Jack's has been moved to the
roof of the RV and got some palm trees in there and Miranda looking really
really good so these make great stocking stuffers or
if you have an outdated one that was not made of the best quality before you want
to get one of these they are for sale now I'll put a link in
the video description if you're interested I have a special end of 2019
price for these you can get two of them for five dollars or five of these for
ten dollars shipped internationally and that's a really good price I'm kind of
undercutting the market for YouTube sticker sales but yeah that is the price
until the end of 2019 or until I sell out here in East Halton because I've got
the time to sit down and write out the envelopes hand handmade and send them
out to you before I get back on the road before Thanksgivings over so if you're
