Great DIYs Nathan! Love the magnets for the dusters in the bedroom. At least in time you’ll get the water filter in. Glad you figured it out as to why it wasn’t working. Nathan you are so void at fixing things.I’ve seen you in older videos. I would hire you as my handy man in a New York minute. Can’t wait til next video. See you soon have a great week. Hope there is no hard rain where you at ir flooding. Stay safe and travel safe. Love you guys! 🤗❤️

I agree with Dans comment below and maybe others that I didn't see. "You could add a secondary switch on the island that turns the lights on and off and leave the wall switch on all the time to energize the water filter." Or you can jumper the switch on the wall so that it never shuts power off to the island. Thank you Nathan and Marissa for another awesome video. Really interested how that Ebike rack holds up and how long the water filter lasts and how well it works for you.

If you get tired from standing, and.you have your MacBook hooked up to the big screen above, you can get a lapdesk and put the MacBook on that, or a separate keyboard and your trackpad and since the keyboards and trackpads can BlueTooth to your MacBook, you can sit on the bed with the Lapdesk and type or trackpad away. I am planning to get the new Silicon MacBook Pro and a large display and mount it on an arm mount, and a keyboard, mouse and trackpad and I am all set up for a desktop arrangement. Love Hensley's cardboard playhouse.

@@LessJunkMoreJourney, You are welcome. Love your RV/House. You have alot of neat DIY projects. Take care and enjoy your lives. Love watching your travel. I heard Hawaii has requested that people not come for a while so they can get this virus under control. It is a good thing you all went when you did, and your videos of Hawaii were very awsome. I have been to Oahu, twice, the second time just before my Senior Year of College, and we went to the big Island that time as well as Oahu. We did see the Vulcano Park but it was cloudy. Glad you had the opportunity to spend time in the Aloha State, before they had to close down for the virus and its nasty variant. And I am glad that Hensley is being Home Schooled, because with that variant, and that there isn't a vaccine for those under 12 yet, I would feel she is better off being home schooled. Especially with the battle of the masks wearing of kids. Hensley and JJ are so cute. Hope you all are safe from the virus.

The water filter didn't go as planned, but that's how the cookie crumbles some times, or maybe how the RV rolls. Nathan, just a hint, happy wife. happy life, so my suggestion is that you get the water filter in ASAP. Beside, who wouldn't want to make Marissa happy. Keep the good stuff coming and give the kids a hug for me.

Not because we agree but because you are more technical than you give yourself credit for. Great tips! We have the same bikes and no receiver for a rack on the back of our fifth wheel. We also don’t have much basement storage. Keep one folded on floor of back seat (no kids) and the other is stuffed between our couch and table. No worries about theft.

QUESTIONS: Love the channel, btw. #1 - The Acuva. Why this particular system instead of a Berkey? I know it takes up counter space, but … SUPER EASY to use and maintain. Filters last a long time and the level of filtration includes bacteria, etc. The other benefit, NO ELECTRIC source needed. #2 - I’ve been battling constant replacement of the stupid drawer catches that are plastic and break incessantly. I’ve installed a magnetic catch (supposedly 60lb), but is really not super strong. Any tips from you or anyone else reading this would be mucho bueno!! Anyway, inquiring minds want to know! Glad you’re back from Hawaii and can’t wait to see your new adventures. :-)

The ebike in a tub under the RV is more secure than on a trailer hitch outside. If you ever watch the Lock Picking Lawyer, no lock is really secure. Plus pulling a cotter pin out of that hitch wouldn't be all that hard. Maybe a pull out slide w bike mounts would be better?

I was curious, since you showed the bars over JJs bed.. have you ever done a blind fire escape drill (as tho it was filled with smoke)? People have scoffed at me.. but these rigs are completely combustible..

Nathan just be careful with the ebikes on the back of the RV? I've had friends that got there ebikes stolen ? Whenever you leave your RV people see you leave and then take your ebikes off the back of your RV. My friend bought ebikes for 7 hundred dollars and put them on the back of the RV they left the RV to take a walk and when they got back there ebikes where gone? Maybe put it inside the RV and lock the door or if you can put it in your storage box on the RV and lock it great? Just something to think about that's all?

I thought the same thing. I also follow the Liz Amazing YT channel; they are also full-time RV'ers. They have had three e-bikes stolen in a year. The last incident, both of their bikes were stolen. The police often could careless about stolen bikes and won't investigate your stolen bike. This last incident, the police chief did communicate with them and was going to really try to find the people that stole the bikes. He said they have a problem at RV camp grounds with 'rings' of thieves going to RV parks to steel valuable items that are not well secured. Some people think cameras will help; but, these type thieves don't care. They know most police departments don't spend much time on stolen bike investigations. Secure your valuables to the max is all I can say about keeping your valuables in your possession. How to keep your ebike safe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5_Go4Z5r7eFr68 Is your ebike rack RV approved: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn66imlmo8-Fgrc Also, batteries should NEVER be left in the heat or below freezing cold for long periods of time. You will ruin your expensive battery if you do that. Also, do not allow your battery to go completely dead. It may not charge backup or not charge fully. Here's a video about care of ebike batteries (all ebiker's should view a video about battery care): kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYfGd6yqgb6Cf7M

@@lynfl9814 the first time Liz had her bike stolen she had a cheap cable lock that was easy to cut with a bolt cutter. The second time the didn't even have them locked. If you lock your bike with a good strong chain and heavy duty lock, the average thief won't even bother.

Hello, could you use that tv in the bedroom as a second monitor screen for your office? And do you have another filtration system under the RV? Sorry last question... Before you went with Grand Design, did you compare it to Jayco Pinnacle (same floorplan)? If you did, why did you choose GD? I'm torn between the 2. THANK YOU!

Put a bolt through the place where the pin and cotter pin are now. Also, get a locking hitch pin and a proper lock for the bikes. $2k+ in bikes is a prize for any thief. We have the same bikes (v1 actually), would love to share what we do for security and tracking if stolen. Send us a message on IG. :)

Do you guys leave your hot water heater on at all times or do you turn it on when needed? Also, do you find your AC unit to run almost constantly? Is that normal? We just went through our first week of the full time rv life!
@LessJunkMoreJourney
@LessJunkMoreJourney 3 жыл бұрын
Some leave it on, some turn it on and off. Our friends only turn theirs on as needed. On your AC you might want to make sure your fan is on AUTO and not high or low. AUTO will let it come on and off with the compressor.
