My First Travato 59K Van Mods!

[@janetfolkerts5827]

Thanks for sharing what's important to you in making your van personalized !

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

And thank you for watching!

[@Spirit_Form]

Mawds. I love the New England accent.

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

Ha! So do I! Proud yankee

[@IMB322]

I love this rig

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

As do I!

[@tdgood64]

I have a '22 59K Very nice work. I have the same lights over sink and we left the 3 pillows in our garage in a bin and haven't used or needed them yet.

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

Todd, thank you for watching. I’m thinking about doing the same with the pillows. Do you use something for back rest as in lounging or such? All the best!

[@tdgood64]

@@ChippersIslandAdventures You’re welcome. My wife and I each have two pillows and a throw pillow on the beds and use those for lounging and sometimes under our knees or feet. Softer than the stock 3 and have more uses. We will likely never put the beds together. Hope that helps and keep up the adventures.

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

Thanks for the info. See ya on the road!

[@dorismatthews4416]

Very nice Chipper! I just picked up my 2020 59K and I am interested in your mods especially where your hoses and power cord hang! I love mine so far! Keep on keepin' on!

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

Awesome and Congrats!

Looking for mods for my 2023 59G. Love the doorstop mod. For the vent, I cut a styrofoam panel to size and put 4 velcro pieces on each corner. Call me cheap but the net cost was almost nothing vs $65 for your magnetic cover. I have a tip for you. The propane only holds 4.6 gallons. It cannot be modified BUT you can hook your standard BBQ 5-gallon tank to the backport using a hose and regulator. Let the main tank dry out first and then use the backup. Nice when boondocking in colder climates.

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

Phil, thanks for watching. Coincidentally I was just looking at the same propane setup on FB TOWB. Pretty cool. All the best!

[@tomronan4732]

Where did you get the straps to hang the hoses? Great idea

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

Tom, thank you for watching. I bought them at Home Depot. They also have different sizes. I believe Lowe's has them as well. Probably any well stocked hardware store. All the best!

[@kellyparkinson2356]

I use my as couch back cushions on the driver side, I sleep on the passenger side bed!

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

Hi Kelly. Same here. Now I’ve taken the cushions out to store away and will try a couple throw pillows. All the best!

[@stevehuecker]

Do you have a link to your hoses? Great video. Thanks

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

Thank you for watching. Try this link. The same one is also available in black. All the best! Teknor Apex-4006-25 Zero-G 1/2" X... www.amazon.com/dp/B01N1FB8WV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Mike....Travato 59KL -2020 Winnegago body ...want to replace dome lights over sink which are 3-1/2 in. So the dome lights you recommend are 4 in. Did your replacements fit? or did you make new screw holes? My wires look welded. Where is your light installation video?

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

Thank you for watching. The install was simple. As for holes, they didn’t line up. In each light I lined up one hole and made new ones for the remaining screws. I didn’t make an install video as, well, I forgot. But I’m thinking of replacing the 4 ceiling lights and will do a video on them. And yes, I cut the old lights off and spliced with new ones. Good luck and all the best!

[@ghoover111]

Chipper, why did you downsize to Travato 59K? I’m leaning toward Winnebago EKKO over Travato 59GL. EKKO has more room, plus love gear garage. Travato would be more versatile, plus Volta Lithium Energy package. Your thoughts on it all? Thanks,

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

Grant, Yes I did downsize though I haven’t sold my 24b yet as it’s in storage. I love the Ekko. Beware of early years as they’ve had problems with heater. I think it’s a great rig. Well insulated. Love the twin beds and layout. And the bath design is spectacular. I can even live with the cassette. The 59k is a good fit for me. There’s a couple good YT channels with Ekkos. Let’s Turn it up World is one. Good luck and all the best.

[@ghoover111]

Thanks Chipper. I will purchase for retirement, so 5-7 years out. I look forward to your videos, plus many more RV channels.

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

Thank you Grant. Stay tuned!

[@timcaviness5933]

Did you get rid of your odyssey?

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

Yes sir I did. Decided to downsize as I travel solo a lot.

[@timcaviness5933]

@Chipper's Island Adventures I'm going back to class a. I bought a 38 foot tiffin open road.

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

@@timcaviness5933 Nice! I hope it’s a good fit. So far, my Travato is. All the best!

[@bethalexander4257]

Where can I get the doorstop?

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

Thank you for watching. Try here: Door Stop - a.co/d/g3mAfDF

[@georges4562]

Nice mods Chipper ! Do you still have the 24B ?

[@ChippersIslandAdventures]

I do and will be selling it. It’s presently in storage. Once out, it’s up for sale.
