Our Favorite RV Upgrades and Modifications

[@gilbertmedina850]

Thanks for everything both of you do.

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks for watching!

[@HelloWorldRobnLisa]

Perfect timing for this video. We have just picked up our previously loved "forever" Class-A, and he needs to get out of the '90's. hahahahaha. Great info in this one, provides us with area's to start focusing on with upgrades. Links are a huge help as well. Really appreciate you two. Beat Army!!

[@roydavis2242]

A plus for Snap Pads. They protect you rig from near-by ground lightning strikes. With hydraulic levelers, an electrical charge could travel into the rig if through the metal foot one the ground. When you add rainwater, a great conductor, you're in trouble. A surge protector will not protect from those situations.

[@FittingInAdventure]

Really good point!

[@gregprince2523]

Yep

[@ski3435]

So will any standard jack pad.

[@roydavis2242]

@@ski3435 Plastic or wood does not have the electrical resistance that rubber does. That's why tools used by electricians have rubber handles. I know one couple who use rubber pavers but they can't handle the weight of many RVs.

[@Powerstroke98]

I've had mine on for a couple of years, and have had no issues! :)

Hi y’all - great video! We have a lot of the same upgrades and enjoy everyone of them. Love the new awning on the driver’s side. We received our You Me and the RV sticker for joining the Someday Crew. Thanks! We saw your article in the new Harvest Host magazine. Really Cool! One of the things we did this summer since we are staying in Albuquerque for several months is add insulation to the cabinets. Talk about keeping the coach cooler! Also, put some insulation in the windows on the side of the coach with the direct afternoon sun at the RV park we are staying. We aren’t in double digits, but mid-90s. Big help there, too! Safe travels!! 😊❤️🇺🇸. 🛳🍾🥂

[@jimhike6620]

The way i designed my solar was to add another inverter so that everything in the rig is hot just like you are plugged in. If I was to do it again I would put in 48 volt bateries rather than 12. You would need another inverter DC/DC but you would quadruple your amp hours. Of course you do have some eff. Loss running through another inverter but it's minimal.

[@kathleenmontavon8630]

Bloopers add a great laugh to my day! Are you finding yourself traveling to your grandchild's location? We have a grandson in CA so we try to work it in to our plans as often as possible.

[@todayissomeday]

We will be coming back to visit more often. Stacy said she may even fly back...LOL

[@Blues2cool]

Hey guys we have done all the same upgrades with a couple of exceptions. Also we pulled the trigger on Starlink we got tired of fighting with cell internet and park WIFI. Got to tell ya it is amazing the up and down speeds are so fast. Our uploads for a video or anything else we upload are seconds to a few minutes. When surfing it is a game changer. We upgraded to the RV to version. Take care nice video.

[@aaronhudgens8345]

I just wanted to say I so enjoy watching you two. I’m retired and single, I don’t RV but I sit and watch every one of your videos. I’d love to travel and see this beautiful country of ours “someday”! Hopefully soon. Blessings to you both and Gizmo and the soon to be grand baby.

[@todayissomeday]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@crusin73]

Hi, last time I saw a video from you guys was phil was in and out of the hospital. hope you are doing better. RV upgrades, you hit the most common, thats for sure. I also have power upgrades. I installed my own 3000va Multiplus-II inverter, 600 ah of battle born batteries and 1280 watts of solar. we are also full timers. now that it is done I look back and wish I installed a larger inverter. how about you guys? no steering or suspension upgrades for our 5th wheel. not a high priority seeing how it is resident in a park. window boxes we left original however we did add true black-out drapes to the windows and wow, how that made a temp difference inside in both summer and winter. we both were working nights when we made this upgrade, now that we are both retired I have been thinking a lot for the last couple years about adding the outside window awnings. at least 4 any ways. (2 livingroom, 1 dining room & 1 bedroom). I only upgraded one sofa bed into a daybed I built. RV furniture is way to expensive to continually buy more poor quality, uncomfortable RV furniture. My daybed i made has a 10" matress on it and wow, the most comfortable place in the entire RV. our king size bed comes in at a close second. one thing I did not hear you mention were kitchen upgrades. I have added a new counter top dishwasher, built and installed all new custom designed kitchen cabinets that incorporate our new upgraded convection / microwave oven, more drawers, more cabinet space, roll-away trash can, additional seasoning cabinet + much more. currently making more drawers for our mini pantry. rebuilding another cabinet so i can permanently install our lockable aftermarket deep freez in the kitchen area and we have decided to get rid of our absorption type fridge for a residential / RV 4-door, lower freezer 120 vac fridge. because in the summer even with the dozen modification our Current fridge strugles to stay below 40*f. in the hottest part of the summer days. (triple digits). got delayed on our kitchen project the other day when our all in one dometic ventless washer/dryer took a dive. it is only about 7 years old. the dryer portion died after the second year and to expensive to repair annualy, went with the splendid vented dryer about 5 years ago now so keeping with brand we got the splendid stackable washer for the match. thats up and running now. (word of advise, never go ventless.). ok, we also added the new stairs for our entry door, so much more sturdy love them. and the list goes on. Great topic and video like always. I havn't put any videoes out for a while now. was trying to finish up the kitchen and make that remodel my next one out. so much. have an awesome day and safe travels.

[@richardcoyle2635]

Good info. Love the bloopers.

[@KJRitch]

2019 Tiffin 37pa and full timers too. We’ve done Snap Pads, 1050w solar and 400ah lithium batteries. We had the driver side awnings put on in Red bay, Carefree, by Trevor of Nichols Custom. I created slide carpet templates and purchased carpet remnants and had Trevor cut and bind the edges to create slide carpet covers. We are going to have to get our dinette seats and recliner back recovered due to the Ultra Leather delaminating. Never had this issue with Ultra Leather in our 11 year old Airstream trailer when we bought our Tiffin. Your cruise sounds like fun but we are not prepared to take the risk of side affects of the experimental jab. You also have to be tested prior to the cruise. So much for the efficacy of the jab. Have fun.

[@gwenroireau6203]

Hey that's Ron helping with the solar upgrade!!! We met him at Peace River Campground!!!

[@rogerkern]

Ahh knee replacement so fun there. I’m finally getting my other one done tue. And as soon as the doc clears me we are back on the road. This sitting still this long is hard. Lol

[@kevinzarth2856]

Added Snap Pads, Safe-T-Plus and Koni's 6 months after purchase. Phil is correct, big game changer!

[@peanut2339]

We did the kumi shocks and safe-T-bar. And agree how much difference they made. You might also conside MCU'S. Motion control units. We bought them from Amazon and Bay diesel installed them. They were a game changer. Hardly any rock and roll when entering and leaving curbs into and out of businesses like Walmart and others. You might seriously consider doing this. We love ya'll and follow you faithfully.

[@brianlykins6663]

Another great video guys. All good tips and projects. Really enjoy y'alls videos, regardless of whether your traveling, sitting or blooping. All of them are great. Really like when we get a two fer when you are with Chad and Tara from Changing Lanes. Absolutely the best You Tube channels and four terrific people. Hope y'all are someplace cool today, it's around 108 in north Texas today. God bless you both and have a blessed day . Stay safe on the road, fair weather and following seas.

[@todayissomeday]

We have been sitting since the end of Apr as I finally had my knee replaced. We are getting closer to getting back on the road. It was 104 in SA today!!!

Hi.very awesome video.from İstanbul turkey

[@dianapearson1771]

5hank ya'll so much for all your videos!! They are wonderful for new owners like myself!! The window boxes and headboard are beautiful and I think it's very touching that you used the fabric from your home to fashion them!! Made me go Awhhh!!! I will be watching all your videos I can find, because ya'll are so good at instruction!!!!

[@TTVAN]

You guys might not be aware of it, but some of your viewers are sick and shut in. So why would a sick and shut in watch your videos? Because you make us feel like we are going on a wonderful vicarious adventure, where something fun and informational always happens. And you guys are so thorough about all the information you share. I just look forward to each and every one of your videos and I just wanted to say thank you to the both of you. God bless you and keey you, and happy travels! 😊

Thank you, Eva! We try to stay true to who we are. What you see on camera is what you get in peerson.

we added a sofa table like that to our home base! 100% recommend! So easy and so useful!

[@kathleenmontavon8630]

We love our multipurpose ottomans that double as tables, storage, extra seat, step up!

[@michaeljorn686]

Greetings, we have class a and one of our first upgrades, we replace the shower valve, we installed a residential Moen shower, temperature set style, once you set the temp, it’s on or off, we all love it

[@petitchenil]

Great stuff. We did the sofa table first so the chihuahuas didn’t fall behind the couch. We had a void all the way to the floor so no way to get one out of the fell. Did the window awnings as soon as we got our next rig after adding them on our previous rig. Huge reduction in temperature when that side of the rig is baking in the sun. Want to do a little PV to reduce the generator use to watch TV during the day.

[@denniscaling1796]

I love your blooper reel’s.

[@jimhike6620]

Forgot toenion a very high out put alternator can take the place of your generator for charging your bateries at idol you burn much less full and your quieter while charging. And no maint hours on your generator.
