good afternoon everyone Eric here from nomadic fanatic thanks again for joining me from Kansas
City here I'm sitting on a couch outside story behind this cool story [Music] [Applause]
[Music]
yeah so in my last video guys I left you with the Demolition going on inside my class crb
over there we tore up the dinette we pulled up all the carpet and the platforms and my
buddy Robert fixed the uh water pump and the water tank in different positions rearrange
the fuse box and electrical and we were going to build a couch however as you can see I'm
sitting in a couch uh actually got really really really lucky on Marketplace I found
this couch for sale being scrapped out of a Class A RV for 200 bucks it's an actual
RV jackknife sofa it's what it was built for was RVs it is incredibly comfortable it should
also look kind of familiar even though it's got this nice aftermarket uh sofa cover on
it but this is exactly what I ended up doing in Yoda my other class CRV although I had
it up against the cab I got one of these used and hid everything underneath it now the cool
thing about this I can't do it one-handed but if I have a visitor this pops out lays
flat it's a wall hugger so this is up against the wall turns into a bed I have a twin bed
right there to sleep one more person if needed otherwise it gives me room for a kitty here
and a kitty here I can literally hang out with my kitties and watch TV in the RV little
bit of uh bad planning on my part though because I didn't measure first well actually I didn't
measure at all we're gonna make it work today though it's going to fit that's not all because
he's scrapping at the class A we got to go through some of his other stuff and I found
something else that I'm gonna use for 20 bucks yeah got this little table I didn't quite
know how I was going to uh build a table with like what kind of style I was going to do
or anything but got this for 20 bucks and on the back it's got that clamp right there
which came with the tubing right here for the table and even got the floor Mount so
this can be mounted almost completely flush with the floor with a hole in the floor and
bolted to the floor and then you can still walk over it when I don't want to use the
table and store it so yeah all right Terry you checking it out well that escalated quickly
guys uh it does not fit as I had hoped Robert was right uh you'll notice a hole there
the furnace has to go because this particular couch the metal frame that's built on is not
removable so um we're off we were only really off by like three inches but but um I removed
my furnace and my other RV uh don't really need it because I've got a catalytic heater
and an electric heat and um I'm Gonna Save it because it still works possibly install
it later on down the road but for right now it's summertime so I don't have to worry about
that right now so furnace is gone Robert built me a little patch I'm going to show you what
the outside looks like there's the furnace what a what a waste of power it really is
as far as DC power but I just got back from Home Depot in the lifted tater tot and man
that thing's fun to drive and you would never know that I don't have a furnace because look
I have the furnace plate there he even made me a piece of plastic and and painted it black
behind this so the bugs and wasp and stuff can't get in and we that cap I got at Home
Depot that was for the propane line so now I can turn the propane back on in the RV yeah
all right well the good news is the couch is in technically Robert's got to drill a
new hole because I made him completely for like the second time put the fuse box in a
different place it's going to be in this void right here where hopefully I can have a little
console with an outlet or something a little spot to put some food or set a set of laptop
on or something but the couch is in and it fits gotta drill another hole Robert loves
all the extra work I make him do
Good Times yeah all right fuse box relocated drilled hooked back up by the way it's in
uh bed mode I think they call this a the short twin so it's as wide as a twin but a little
bit shorter in length anyway there's what it looks like as bed and there's what it looks
like in couch mode yeah now we gotta bolt into the floor got Terra bear behind me checking
things out snipping things out got Opie dopes right here cuddle in checking everything out
next to Dad yeah we never had this did we we didn't have this in the chair now we can
all be family on the couch yeah Tara I got room over here too she wants to get cat butt
oh I did it for you I did it for Jews okay great love you too there's room over here
too if you want your own side you could have your own side if you wanted your own side
you could have it it's a big couch yeah okay man I feel bad guys these two sweet babies
have waited their entire lives for this couch and dad took so long I am so sorry I'm gonna
make it up to you Tara Opie I'm so sorry I hope you enjoy this oh my gosh they're in
heaven gonna take a break from the couch we still need to mount it and change a few I
try to put some water in the tank and the input is not working it will not allow water
to make that turn so I'm gonna take a break from that this is a mess this is this is literally
a mess guys uh here in the corner where my camping chair is at that's where um the TV
is going to be here and something else was gonna go here well that something else needs
to be something very specific so I got some measurements and I want it to be 36 inches
across by about 30 tall and uh luckily there in Kansas there's an Ikea had my first Ikea
experience and uh right off the bat walked into like the first aisle there where the
furniture was at and found exactly what I was looking for but we got to put it together
first yeah it's currently in pieces here on Robert's floor but this is the one so now
we just got to put it together look at this we're starting to have a dresser here guys
starting to look good all right dressers put together last step is to put these drawers
together it's gonna put the rails on and we'll fit in the Army all right check it out we
got a dresser and it actually works and opens and closes and it's the right size let's go
see how it fits in the RV
foreign [Music]
fits really well now we just gotta mount a mount a TV right there and I'll get my straps
which will keep these from opening those arrive tomorrow they go on the front here because
this is not meant for an RV obviously but you know what that fits in the space really
really well all right you're getting the step by step here I have secured it with brackets
on the bottom and brackets all the way around to the wall not real worried about those because
that's where the sound bar is gonna go there's what the sound bar is gonna look like there
I love my Sony Sound I gotta find a spot for the subwoofer also look how perfectly that
fits guys you'd think I'm lucky but a little bit of planning involved here I am definitely
customizing this RV alright so Robert just got done making me a little bracket for the
TV heck yeah it's gonna be custom bracket you happy boy Opie him's a happy boy yeah
this is great I cannot tell you how great this is it makes so much more sense to have
customized the RV I did get the brackets with a little locking gate clasps otherwise these
would open up on the road so you just go like this fold them down hopefully that won't make
a whole lot of noise while I'm driving but you gotta have something and this is the best
and easiest and cheapest way to do it also something I didn't think about you know just
simply having all this extra storage because I mean that's All Storage that I didn't have
in the previous configuration there was a one person chair right there and over here
was the dinette where sometimes I would throw a few things on the cushions and stuff or
on the table but when I had to leave all that stuff had to find a home now I have three
huge drawers for more organized storage which is going to make the main area here look a
lot more organized and comfortable on the road so I love that look believe me I'm already
making the most of the storage it's great it's great just having a a catch-all for for
everything cameras and batteries and stuff and and yeah oh Terry you pooping looks like
there is pooping man give me some privacy Dad I'm pooping in the automatic litter box
okay I'm gonna take a a pause break from RV work and we're gonna get back to this in a
in a future video here coming up but I need a little break actually the main thing going
on is my black tank under the toilet is full we need to go to a dump station and I cannot
access Robert's septic here on the property because it's a little bit uphill and too far
away so I'm gonna kind of pack everything up and organize it and the kitties and I are
gonna go camping we're gonna go find the the nearest pay Campground here where we can dump
the tanks and then stay the night and just kind of get a little nature reset with the
kitties I think Opie needs the reset yes hymns does we gotta go test everything out so thanks
for joining me guys we have more to come here from Missouri I'll see you in a couple days
from Opie and I have a good night guys
thank you
