hey good morning happy quarantine day to y'all guys
you know peggy came in really handy today i took the old staying over to
home depot and bought a ladder yeah i brought a ladder back in my in my
car watch this i put this six foot folding ladder in
the trunk the seats fold down and the passenger seat
we made it work right what am i gonna do indiana's still not ready to open up
thousand trails um well i like to do this
with every rv i've had since uh meeting camper van kevin and that is
wax the rv i don't know if you can tell she's kind of starting to lose her shine
maybe not right here you can see it a little bit but i
she needs about six more coats of wax and this ends up
being a two day process for me because you got to be really careful it's not
just like get the brush and do a normal wash like you normally do no you gotta
you gotta really get in here and you gotta get all this dirt off with a hand
brush and then a toothbrush in the cracks of every inch
of this monstrous rv it is very very time consuming
but if you miss any dirt well by the time you put
wax five six coats of wax over that piece of dirt it's there forever
it doesn't matter how how well you wash it after that it's part of the rv
so i got all day today to meticulously wash every inch of this rv
let it dry let it sit overnight don't run the air conditioner so we're not
going to get condensation coming down and then tomorrow will wax and i'll show
you part of this process and all the tools and everything i'm
going to be using and we'll see a nice before and after look here
everything's fine
wouldn't expect any more from this the situation's in life
with every story that i heard
trying to evaluate
was it something that i did
was it something
trying to appreciate
in that way wanting to come a day
i am changing
okay not currently raining yay you obviously can't put the wax on when
it's raining but it's actually better to do it when it's
overcast like this so today is a perfect 75 degree day with not a whole lot of
bright sunshine a lot of cloudy filter sunshine so
today's the day we do it man a lot has happened during these three four day
project you can see no more peggy the mustang
she's gone guys uh i thought that you know we were gonna get back to
normal and today gosh like literally this morning was
such a weird morning at like 11 40 they took my thousand
trails membership monthly payment of 153 dollars which i still have not
been able to use since march and then at noon i got a voicemail from
thousand trails again canceling the indiana reservation
so indiana ohio and pennsylvania are still interpreting the guidelines as
they cannot open up and let people live in their rv
while all the state parks are opening up in all three states
you still can't live in an rv by yourself
and maybe the biggest part is just the slap in the face to still taking my
money and not allowing me to use any thousand trails
except for the one in florida so i don't know
i thought i was getting on the road and now i'm like holy crap am i really stuck
here another month maybe i don't know
but today's process wax miranda and i'll show you what we're going to be using
we're going back to zep wet look floor polish by zep this is also a new look
it says new look same formula it used to be in a white container now it's a
yellow container available at home depot for about 24 bucks
so shake that up really good i'm going to be using a
microfiber cloth i'm going to be wearing gloves to do this because the chemical
is very very harsh and basically what i'm going to be doing
is the same exact way i washed this thing i won't film the whole thing this
time but gonna get on the ladder and i'm gonna
systematically start from the top work my way down and go all the way around
the rv and believe it or not i've done this
before by the time you go all the way back around the rv it will have been
about 45 minutes since the first coat that you started in the first place
you can simply just start the second coat right there as long as it's a good
70 75 degrees and it's drying normally and we're just going to wrap around the
rv five or six times to get a good nice six coats of wax you
don't need to buff it off or anything just uh get her done so that's my
project today and then i can feel good about that
also before i leave i want to sanitate sanitize the water tank on board my
fresh water with bleach make sure that system is cleaned out i like to do that
every six months yeah six months so yeah i mean i've got
a few little projects i can do but i don't have a month's worth of
activities here i certainly don't so anyway we'll get started on the waxing
of miranda
all righty we're done made it without the rain coming in
five coats was my magic number i think that's what i did last summer
less than a year ago and uh she's glossy again guys
it's always hard to pick up with the camera let me take you over there so
even get the reflection here there we go it's it's like a mirror
finish guys there's a good example right there yeah
much better much much better than it was okay so look up there here we go closer
to this side oh yeah nice and shiny yes i even got
all of the plastics as well
uh huh a look at the front this might even reflect the bugs a little more
look at how shiny she is oh my gosh looking good there miranda
and then this side now there's too much shade over here to really tell
right there oh look at that right there
that is a wet look shine finish
let's get over here a little bit yep right on top of the vinyl
and the back was the trickiest look how shiny that is
oh man i love it that came out great that is glossy
so again this is clearly not an endorsement for zepp or saying you
should do this what you should do is all of your
research read all the directions blah blah blah don't do what i do
same thing but i have had really good success with the
zep products and thank you again campervan kevin for the tip
you guys go check out his channel he's over there in new mexico
i'm stuck here in illinois for a little longer um
i'll have an update for you soon guys give me give me a couple days to find
out what i'm gonna do
yeah maybe i should have held onto the mustang a little longer until i found
out thousand trails is gonna not open yeah whoopsie
all right guys how do i always hear you guys yelling at me it's like eric we
didn't see jax yeah i know i know
i thought you said you were gonna help me you didn't help once
no not one time did you help me with any part of that process
you feel proud of yourself yeah okay man you are one spoiled kitty
one spoiled guy what are you doing petting yourself again
okay well don't worry i took care of everything miranda looks good
okay i'm glad you're concerned i'm still just trying to think of what i should do
this is really weird for me because it's like happening live
and not to complain and say my problems are worse than everybody else's but i
mean it's kind of it's kind of weird and
irritating how every state is interpreting the guidelines i still
don't understand why all the hotels are open
people are crammed into all these hotel rooms and the lobby and communal
bathrooms everywhere but for some reason thousand trails decides
that we can't live in our rv by ourselves
live like we live that's our domicile that's so weird man
so i really really really need to think this through
i won't cancel my trip to maine just because the thousand trails
won't allow me to go there even though i'm paying for it but
it's a decision it is it is a tough decision to make
um hopefully i'll have some updates here soon okay
guys be well bye-bye
bye
