AWESOME RV Tech and Storage Hacks in an Imagine 2800BH

[@jessieely5363]

Holy crap Ben you are a genius with all the modifications!

[@triphius]

😂 Thanks Jessie!

[@jessieely5363]

@@triphius you are welcome! From one roadrunner to another. I hope to buy a 5th wheel at some point in the future.

[@triphius]

We’ll definitely be buying a 5th wheel at some point and then all this fun gets to happen again!

[@jay.t.foulds]

Hell yah! I'm a former (Canadian) Combat Engineer and all these hacks really get me excited. I will absolutely be utilizing the majority of them. Thanks to you for posting...and to your subject for being friggin awesome! 🫡🫡🫡

Rub a white candle on those wood guides to lube it up 😎

[@michaelcipriani869]

This guys is my new hero. I want to do all of this.

[@sherriweber7105]

Thank you Brian for this video. Nice of that guy to show you and us all of his modifications. He did a very good job! Hope to see you soon! Tell Erin hello.

[@triphius]

Thanks Sherri, I’m glad you liked them!

[@erinnesslage]

Hi Sherri!

[@smpadte]

Ben’s RV is an engineering marvel! Everything is so well engineered.

[@elizabethstreich9062]

This guy is a genius and needs to work for a RV company.

[@triphius]

Thanks Elizabeth!

[@llouisefox1812]

I agree but RV companies will not pay his worth! IF I had a lot of money, I would hire him to organize my life.

[@ladygagafan704]

Fr am trying to buy an RV and I need the same amount of space he have 😩 please hmu if u work for people and get paid cause ur RV look so beautiful 😍

[@karengallagher8944]

Can you post his KZbin account name also ?

Forget the rv companies, start his own bissn

[@princessknowled]

Happy Father’s day to both of you kind gentlemen Thank you for sharing this with us You’re a genius May you be blessed

[@ironpig701]

Lots of great mods. Love the rv locks. One touch and unit is locked. No more walking around checking every single door.

[@patriciamesser-perry523]

DUDE!!!! Such amazing, easy to do modifications!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@AFKDays]

The garage storage is very impressive! The PVC pipe as a drill holder. Those garage setup game is crazy!

[@RobBernheimer67]

Brian - RV Lock makes locks for Class A's - we have one and love it. Ben - I used a Moryde 200% sliding tray and keep my Camp Chef on it - it pulls away far enough from the coach to use without moving it to another table and I can keep the propane line connected (turn it off at the tank when not in use).

[@Five2Go]

They don't make locks for *my* Class A 😕

[@RobBernheimer67]

@@Five2Go Oh that is a bummer because we love remote entry!

[@gregsinsightstudio]

We also the the Hughes Watch dog and the Rv Whisper setup. It's awesome to be able to monitor the power and temps when the dogs can't go with us for the day. Love all the mods you have done!

[@tcmarie]

I've watched this video three times. The storage on this is crazy good. An the apps. Man you've enlightened me.

[@highabovetn]

I love the slide outs mainly because it’s the only thing I fully understood and may can replicate. Lol

[@stylesjay62]

LOL

[@angelika77st]

Nice job Ben. I like your ideas. Very smart guy

[@LiveYourSomedayNow]

Thanks so much for sharing his rig with us. Such amazing ideas. Five of us have been full time for over three years and are always looking for new storage ideas. This was great!

[@mistyheyden]

Ben, you’re a freakin genius! Love these mods!

[@marytuohy9454]

Wow!! I'm so impressed with Ben's RV hacks. Great job.

[@ChrisC-hb8pg]

Great video...we just got our 2800BH and will be adding the supports for the rear bumper...great ideas throughout this video...

[@cindydegraaff5083]

Great job! Nice mods, especially liked the slide out shelf!

[@triphius]

Thanks Cindy!

[@joy4moi]

I hope you were compensated for your time and for sharing ALL of your amazing tricks with us, Ben! I wish I had a handy partner like you. 🙏

[@stevelee3290]

What time is the slide out shelf?

[@kathleenrutherford733]

Wow!! What a fabulous fabulous rig!! I love all the modifications!!

[@derekmontgomery4864]

I would love to see the storage tray design for the front exterior compartment

[@1957ubersku]

Agreed! Especially would like to know what drawer sliders he used!

[@dlongb13]

Easy way to get rid of that sound when pulling out the drawers is to throw down a few strips of the soft Velcro side. Great mods!

[@michaelthompson7570]

Need/solution. Brilliant!

[@elisabethairey3447]

Ben! You are the storage master! I am not sure if I want my husband to watch this or not. So many good ideas but so many rabbit holes to go down too. Though that dishwasher . . . wow. I need to add the Ikea rail next to my side of the bed, I am up against the wall so no place to put anything. Awesome upgrades and amazing use of space.

[@triphius]

Yeah... on the dishwasher... I just knew we’d do better having it, especially with the baby bottles and whatnot.

[@Five2Go]

I keep looking around for somewhere to use those rails...

[@jefferyshall]

Some of the most impressive mods I've seen! Great job.

[@joer6571]

Awesome ideas. One question/possible concern- how much weight does all this add up to? I’d be curious if it’s been scaled

[@lisamartin4011]

I really like this video, sharing and meeting people

[@thomasstewart514]

Thanks for you videos...I'm about to buy my first RV and I can happily say you have jump started my knowledge in what I would and could do to make my camping time with the family more enjoyable

[@harvesthunt]

Just WOW. Great setup Ben!

[@srj2590]

Nice job, a lot of good ideas you have shared here. Thank you.

[@momplusfive]

Thanks Ben that was some great things to add to an RV.

[@micheleobrien64]

Love love love the bins and folding table organization!

[@rvemptynestersstillhappily1984]

Great ideas. A bit difficult to see well but the descriptions were great. Thank you for sharing!

[@Odininnovations]

Your wood slide out tray is great. If you apply some Johnsons Paste Wax to all the sliding surfaces it will move very easily and will probably eliminate the sound when you pull it out.

[@andrewmascioli4649]

Love the videos, keep them coming... and safe travels.

[@kateantolini420]

Great job on all those mods!

[@LisaMarli]

Brilliant mods. My friend who lives in a small apartment (They have no counter space, and it's a rental, so no mods.) just got one of those micro dishwashers for Christmas. He raves about it. The dishes come out great. It lives on a cart, and he snakes the drain hose to the sink. If you have no way to do a real dishwasher, this dishwasher may be your answer.

[@triphius]

I agree, it works fantastically!

[@donwyates]

The "high tech" long lasting solution for eliminating the drawer noise, and making for a smoother glide, is UHMW plastic. It's sold in many forms, but can also be re-purposed cutting boards (if the available dimensions work for the space). It's commonly used in tablesaw fences, any many other tool accessories. Or, lignum vitae if you want to get real fancy. 😆

[@Scharidi02]

My only concern would be the weight. Especially with the half ton truck. But brilliant design!

[@cathybeall7869]

Thanks for all the great information that can be done!

[@Five2Go]

Thanks Cathy!

[@ADKMan]

Love the storage slide, I have 6 volt batteries too, love them!! Pretty creative!!

[@rstspecos]

That was some great ideas... Thanks for sharing

[@triphius]

Thanks!

[@Murphy326]

Some higher end class A’s and fifth wheels have analog or more traditional buttons and switches because of the clientele. Generally older folks are buying them and don’t want to miss with an iPad or touchscreen type control system

[@kimc555]

Great video - can’t wait to see more custom mods!!!

[@triphius]

Thanks!

[@JRichert2683]

use high-density polyethylene plastic (HDPE) cut into strips on the underside of the slide out, Its the same material as cutting boards, super slick, super hard and cuts nice. find it at your big box home improvement stores. I built a truck box to store all my construction tools in, drawers pull out one handed

[@masonh5804]

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnn! YOUR A GENIUS BRO! These mods are amazing. I love the small details and honestly love how proud you are of your work. i can tell there was a lot of thought that went into all of this. Good work man. Thank you for the inspiration. I will definitely be using some of these ideas on my rig. Also, you are an engineer by trade right? You have to be. lol

[@LC-hq6hc]

Unreal how cool he made his rv

[@RockyFoxxowo]

All this equipment is so neat, definitely gonna try some to our unit in the summer!

[@triphius]

Thanks!

[@GregariousAntithesis]

Oh my god, 5 minutes to wapner, charlie babbit! So amazing ocd, storage, love it!

[@samhandley1]

Awesome video. Just one thing missing. THE BABY! Lol I totally understand if they don’t want to show the kids.

[@laurag5583]

Wow! That was fun and inspiring!

[@robertcasteel8023]

I wonder what this trailer weights now with all of these modifications?

[@SommerCrushT]

LOVE all the cool gadgets added to the RV. Thank you SO much for sharing :-)

[@Go_Irish]

Wow! This is awesome. Ive been considering the 2800BH. I have a 2023 1500 and it's within my weight limits, but im concerned when i load it down it's going to exceed my max hitch weight of 930. Would love it if Brian would share the weights of his rig loaded down!

[@jdselby1]

Very cool mods and handyman !!

[@LennyKaosium]

Outstanding work.

I need to,learn more about electrical, this is so good

[@gerardogonzalez8076]

It looks great, however, I would like to see how all these affected payload on the RV. It is usually pretty limited as it is

[@pentonhusqvarna]

You're my kind of RV geek! Very nice mods - giving my ideas.

[@nellysnipes8852]

If I had to bug out I’d take this guy hahahahaha

awesome! thanks again for sharing!

Thanks Tom! Glad you liked the mods!

[@susanamberg3960]

Super great mods. I am assuming they are a fulltime family, but great ideas for weekend warriors too. Shared it on one of my Facebook Groups.

[@triphius]

Actually, we’re still part timers. But who knows what the future holds. Thanks for sharing... I hope that others can be inspired by what we’ve done.

[@jenniferdaneker8947]

I really enjoyed your video and was wondering if you had a video on adding solar. I looked through your playlist but couldn’t find anything.

[@Five2Go]

We don't have any solar - other than the occasional Walmart parking lot to break up a long drive, we're full hookup campers 😉

[@catrinalopes5723]

He is a genius for sure!!! Hey for the noise on the sliding drawer use some surf board wax

[@jemarty666]

Good job ben.

[@loriw2661]

Wow, Ben did a fabulous job and I’ve stolen three of his ideas. Lol. I’m also ordering another Ring Alarm system for my trailer because I never thought about putting contact sensors on the outside storage doors. Great idea! I already have the Ring system in my house and I love it.

[@n9wdq]

How to build the slide tray would make a great video

[@proceedingonwardinamerica]

Wow he did a great job I want to steal a few ideas now. Great great job and video. Let him know I like it.

[@triphius]

Thanks! I’m glad I was able to provide some inspiration!

[@SHADOW848DUCATI]

I am curious as to how much tongue weight was added with all the mods and items in storage.

[@cwqrpportable]

Me too........ that's already a lot of trailer to be towing with a half ton Silverado

[@huntsw]

A 1000 lbs 🤣

[@scottsimmons6459]

Ben, you are my RV mod idol! Awesome work!

[@mhaskins3769]

Nice job on the under belly storage area!

[@jooyahrose17]

Absolutely marvelous! Can you please (pretty please) provide the name or link for those Ikea "cups" which hang from bedroom rails?!?

[@petecoffman9048]

Incredible job.

[@jleard]

Well thought out system good work

[@jzoie3336]

I got hot and heavy from this video… -from an OCD me 🤣🤣 kidding! Thanks for the idea!

[@davidmorrill2943]

Great Ideas but I wish you showed that he slide system for the pull outs in the. Storage compartments

[@rickhuff5197]

Ben did you do anything special to your tow vehicle to pull that 2800bh?

[@thehomewizard1]

To quiet the drawer, Cut the front edge of the base (under the drawer) as the drawer glides across the bottom piece, it will rub, causing it to reverberate/ make noise (mostly because it is loaded which will bow the bottom of the drawer). Also, it would be nice to use oak/ hardwood for the "drawer guides" & seal with polyurethane &/ or lubricate the poly with beeswax or spray silicone. I set-up a similar tool drawer in my work van out of plywood with the oak rails & would silicone the slides 2x/ year with great mess. **Also, should put a latch so it doesn't slide & push the door open in route**

[@6smokey66]

FANTASTIC

[@looneyfarm1]

Ben is great at organizing!

[@Nivasi]

Cooper Tire out of Canada has countertop dishwasher too

[@triphius]

The dishwasher was very handy, especially to clean all the baby stuff.

[@TravisJansma]

Really neat ideas

[@gennelle5]

Awesome job!

[@tedcharp]

Great job. Thanks for sharing

[@juliealexanderturner1935]

I’ve been looking for a trash bag holder for grocery bags just like the one they have. Where did you find it? Very nice and creative modifications. Thank you for sharing.

[@Barry10S]

Perhaps a rookie question, but I can't seem to figure out how he wired the remote cap light switch. The current switch on my unit only has 2 wires attached. The remote switch has 2 inputs and 2 outputs. When I connect the 2 current wires to the remote switch it only powers 1/2 of the cap lights and no way to turn it off. I know it is going to be a simple answer, but can you direct me? Thanks. Great videos BTW. Lot's of great ideas to make the camping experience more enjoyable.

[@hstunkel7]

This is hands down the best modification video I’ve seen. Do you leave the dishwasher on the counter all the time or only when it’s in use?

[@manojkumar-mn8hn]

Amazing !!! 🙏. Brilliant !!! Superb!!
