The passing of Lee was truly heartbreaking to Katie and I. Our community has lost a very bright light. We will continue to support Lee's mission to destigmatize mental health struggles and end cyberbullying.

Thanks for showing there mistakes and how you fixed them. I think more people will learn more from your video vs someone who doesn't show the mistakes. I know I do.

[@Trailvagabonds]

Thanks for saying so😊 I agree, I always appreciate when some shows what can or did go wrong. I figure if I can share mine and someone doesn't make the simple mistake that I did, like adjusting the slides in the wrong direction, it makes the process straight forward and less frustrating. Thanks for taking the time to comment and for watching!

[@vanomadcyclist3474]

Great job, Matt!! Love the new pup, missed in the beginning if he is yours or if you are fostering. Either way he plays wonderful with Francis!! OK Katie, time to organize 😊

[@Trailvagabonds]

She's a little sweetheart. We are fostering until we find a rescue or forever home for her.. Both Frank and Wallace have done wonderful with her. We can't ask for better pups! 😊 Katie is very excited for organizing! Hehe I'm sure she share when she does!

[@nancykelm3627]

Good job & little Love Bug is sure a sweet puppy.

[@Trailvagabonds]

She definitely is so sweet!

[@giveyandmyla1859]

Yay, this is helpful. We still need to finish up our kitchen cabinet. Well, right now who knows when we can get to it. Our province is currently on an even tighter lockdown😭

[@Trailvagabonds]

That's tough. I'm glad you are staying safe though! I went to Home Depot today and it seemed like half the people weren't wearing masks😳 Makes me wish we had lockdown

[@giveyandmyla1859]

@@Trailvagabonds just realized we’ve been watching you guys since last year when we started building our van. Cool to finally subscribe to you. What is wrong with us?lol!!!

[@Trailvagabonds]

Haha, well thank you for finally subscribing!😉 I'm happy our videos have maybe been helpful. With covid and other things in life we've built out our van pretty slow

[@michaelheppler2193]

Good job I like you sliders better than mine. One of mine just had ball bearing fell out and never worked right I’m gonna replace with your brand. The Lontan were not good

[@Trailvagabonds]

I hope you've been well, Michael! I'm very happy with these. They are very high quality. Maybe a little more spendy but for the longevity I think it'll be worth it.

[@JB-fr5zr]

Learn by doing!

[@Trailvagabonds]

Best way to do it, right?

[@RyanMcdunco]

Soft close drawer slides were invented by the devil! I’m convinced! Great job my dude!

[@Trailvagabonds]

Bahaha! I'm happy it went as smooth as it did. The brackets made life easy

[@lordsmobile3262]

Nice

[@Trailvagabonds]

Thanks!

[@spike1189]

Do the drawers stay closed when driving with only these slides? You don't have any other locking mechanism, right?

[@Trailvagabonds]

With nothing in them they do but I did add push locks like the ones in our upper cabinet. I have an episode I need to edit with adding those they were kind of a pain to install. With any kind of weight I would suggest adding some form of latch

[@davemcada1563]

If I never had to make another drawer, that would be okay.

[@Trailvagabonds]

Haha! I just wish I had a nice table saw. A guide with circular saw takes so long to set up
