and a pleasant wonderful rainy afternoon to you all from east halton illinois hi
guys eric here from nomadic fanatic hope you guys are doing well some
magic is happening behind this garage door right here i'm about to show you right now
yeah thanks for joining me guys i will be uploading this video with some
nomad internet link below in the video description how i'm uploading all these videos
inside the shop here wayne is hard at getting solar installed on frida i'll quickly give you
a peek down here where uh operations are going really well low light in there but getting all
of the uh components all installed all five lithium battleborn batteries there
and uh once again still giving me lots of outdoor storage cargo space we'll
uh take the steps upstairs here and as we do there's rv prepper wayne up there on the roof
oh my gosh guys look at this these two uh front panels are already mounted to the roof uh sealed
with uh decor self-leveling sealant got it he's working on the back two let me get a better
advantage so wayne had done some measurements prior to try to see we thought uh well we need
we we knew that we could only get three up here without going over the edge a little bit
believe it or not this edge right here it is going over the roof a little bit but you can barely tell
the reason being is uh the shower port over there let me go over here yeah so took the
doors off here so you can you can just walk right onto the the roof here and uh again there there's
the edge it doesn't go past the awning what would you say like maybe a half inch wayne yeah yeah
that's not that's not bad at all like i said the awning's there anyway so it's not going to catch
a tree limb or branch or anything and we've got all 1200 watts of solar here on my 24 foot rv
you know had to work with the grey tank vent there and the shower dome and stuff can still
walk out here along the back edge in front of the air conditioner and sit either there or
sit here if i want to watch a nascar race but uh wayne's kicking butt up here and making sure that
everything is sealed properly putting dykor under the brackets and using the right kind of screws we
even grab some metal along the edges here of the roof on both sides so these panels are not going
to go anywhere it's been many many years since the infamous nomadic fanatics solar panel flew
off on me on the road uh near roswell new mexico uh i'll link that video up top here and actually
put it in the video description as well that's why i don't do these jobs anymore plus the last
solar job i did it was a separate system with a couple outlets inside rv prepper wayne builds this
system and ties them into the electronics of this so that that all those down there will be true
30 amp pass-through so whether i'm plugged into power or anyways my point is wayne does it right
he does it the right way and uh i'm so glad i hired him to do this for the second time
he's doing great work in the meantime on the inside i i have some updates to show
you some stuff that i've been doing to get frida ready um so i'll show you that
tara you gonna take that you can take that tara
i didn't put these up here for cat toys that's not what these bins are for these bins
uh put these up here uh well i'm gonna i'm gonna be storing some stuff up here that's
for future projects i also don't want to cut off the whole area to the kitties because they
clearly love this space so i want them to be able to play but i'm going to be putting lids on those
and doing some future projects got the kitties eating dinner in here you know so with uh all the
work wayne's doing exterior wise it let me work on the rv a lot and i want to show you some of
the uh updates and stuff that i've been working on here so got my spice rack filled here um
i got my keurig machine look at this guys it's hot glued so hot glue once again is removable but it's
not going anywhere the one that i have in miranda is still there with hot glue got some double
sticky tape for my apple watch yeah and uh let's oh yeah a couple of these mounted uh my fans so
um these are gonna plug into a regular outlet here but once wayne's done all my outlets will work off
my inverter and batteries just to give me a little bit of air in the winter on my face for comfort
let's see all right so let's let's start over here the uh got the interior camera mounted
um and i don't know exactly what i'm gonna do up here the kitties do like to go up here so they'll
do their little hoppy hop thing and there's still some room they play up on top of these but right
now these four compartments are full of stuff that actually still need to organize still need
to so that's a future project down the road got my taylor guitar over there got my vacuum up here
my bug assault gun my motorcycle shoes my drone hey tara you done eaten and then my motorcycle
gear is in this one for right now okay i brought in my apple tv device which this thing is perfect
because it's portable and you can just bring it anywhere it saves all my hulu youtube netflix
disney plus all my stuff's on it just plug it into hdmi and uh i don't know if i showed you this
yet so my security cam system right up here right now i got it on a four i could make it four nine
five even um this is just the four that i picked because it gives me all four sides
and it's a big enough screen if you go to nine they're like much smaller screens
so i'm happy with those four views out right now but i could always change that
and then of course i got my 24 inch tv for all my other stuff on here yep so and
i if i finally filled this space so uh my merlin and archimedes the owl there uh from my favorite
disney movie of all time sword in the stone uh this is a nine of what number nine of 95 the one i
got in disney finally uh put on with double-sided tape all the way around these hold really well
i've had good good success with that double-sided tape and i'm using it all over in fact uh one more
thing this piece of wood i put that there so that these don't you know slide this way when i hit the
gas but i put this on with double-sided tape as well so not permanent but definitely uh gonna help
keep it nice up here okay so and of course i got the litter box the automatic robot litter box
scent free you know people are gonna say how can you sit there and smell that smell what guys it's
i i feel like i've been over this quite a few times but maybe if i have some new subscribers
you can't smell anything it automatically rotates after they use it it goes down into this sealed
basin down here and you empty that once a week but it's just like one of those diaper things
you put the diaper and then turn it you can't smell outside that compartment until you use it
until you clean it right so yeah the kitties will have their little space to go around and that's
where i'm at with everything okay freaking opie's still over here eating what a hog and a ham you're
such a ham big old ham sandwich and a cute sweet baby girl such a good girl yeah i'm serious guys
i i love this shop space and uh we are going to finish up some stuff and then in my next video
hopefully we will be done and on the road in my very next video guys this week okay
hopefully so um but we need to do some stuff on wayne's rv so we're going to pull that in real
quick and then i'll get back to you go open this door and show you what's going on the sun has set
it's dark outside and yeah what do you know more illinois rain more and more and non-stop and uh
boy this would not be fun to do anything outside poor miranda so so here real quick we got a
wayne's 26 foot is it a tioga or a jamboree jamboree his 26-footer i've got a 24-footer
we've got maybe four inches to spare there and uh if we go to the front just for comparison uh
you can see we uh we cannot close the garage door i mean it's close but that's the difference
between a 26 foot and my 24 foot uh so frida fitz with the door shut but you know it's okay
just wanted to escape the ring get a couple things done on wayne's rv here real quick
and one more thing here um i've had a lot of people ask me about the mirrors on my rv
um see how this one's like right there by the the window but if we go over the driver's side here
this one looks like it's opposite and and lower just wanted to show it's the same exact way uh on
on wayne's it's done that they actually did this for a reason that's so that as you're driving
you're not your view is not obstructed right here you don't you're not blocking your blind spot
they could put it lower so they did but over here they couldn't put it lower
because if this were lower you wouldn't be able to see over this so this one had to be there
uh that's why they look a little different here i'll stand back a little bit more right there you
can see this one's up higher this one's a little lower it's kind of just a it's a i was going to
say a tioga thing but it's more of just a a class c thing from ford's in that era so a lot of them
are like that not just mine hey everybody it is just after 2 a.m wayne has been working so hard
well as you can see i'm loading stuff into the compartment where he was last working
which means which means guys we're ready to hit the road everything is sealed up on the roof
1280 watts of solar up there um gosh my heart's beating a million miles an hour finally okay guys
real quick opie and tara and i will see you in the next video excited about the future bye guys
you
