You did a great job Jenna. I found the greatest difference between my self and a plumber is the plumber has a truck full of parts and tools parked in the drive way. Take care.

[@murphmurph2124]

I'm a recovering plumber believe me I don't miss it the money was good but they can keep it

[@davidwright7077]

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Great job on the repairs. Waiting for a demonstration.

[@barbarasiercks424]

Awesome job, I'm a female do it yourself person also!! I'm sure you inspire other ladies with your videos. Love your videos ❤️

[@Agent_Starling]

Yup! She inspired me too ❤️

[@terrimccullough724]

Fellow single woman rv’r but only seasonal. In the fall we all put moth balls under our campers and thankfully no mice over winter. You really don’t smell them inside either. Also, oil based Kilz would help with any mouse odor next time you run into an issue. I’m currently in the middle of a huge RV remodel. Bought myself a 1987 Park Model that was not cared for.

[@dixiemae5042]

Hey you can take outdoor showers here with no need of tanks or pumps … it falls from the sky already warm 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@richardschaefer3889]

"Well." "Here goes, nothing." Should put it on a T-shirt, Jenna. Sum's up this channel, perfectly. Tub looks great.

[@gypsyjenna]

Thank you 😊

[@nightwolf1963]

I at one time lived in a moble home and believe me they are made just like a camper but only bigger so you will find things YOU wont expect.😊

[@libbyjones552]

Well done Jenna! Most women couldn't do these repairs..You Rock!!🌹

[@gypsyjenna]

Most could and they can, if I can anyone can! 😁

[@iceman256]

A couple yrs ago,a nasty storm rolled in with winds over 50 - 60 klm winds...the wind picked up the awesome and slammed down. One of the side supports went right through the trailer..was I pissed. Had to mount a metal plate on the outside and replace a section of panel inside. Had to mount another plate on the other awning arm, so this shyt don't happen again. The trailer beside me had a big tree behind him,wind snapped a big branch and fell on the corner of his trailer. Cause alot of damage..poor guy. His insurance covered the damage. The same summer,a pheasant flew right through the kitchen window, killed the pheasant (poor thing,beautiful bird) had to replace the window😢

[@gypsyjenna]

Oh my goodness. Streak of bad luck :(

[@geraldclavenna6413]

Used to due home repairs, ran into a number of surprises, that made the job longer than I expected.Your fantastic always find a way to complete the job😂

[@bitzclipsmatt214]

You stuck with it and took on the challenge. Well done Jenna, You have shown that if you put your mind to it anything can be done.😀

[@robertbrown9927]

Yay! Success! A great tutorial for those who face the challenge of a full bathtub "reno". Good job, Jenna. I hope by now you're enjoying your inside shower. Even the lightning and thunder gods were so happy they sent you a thunderstorm to serenade you in the shower. Who knows? Maybe one day you'll hear a knock at your door and Mr. Squirrel and Hilbert will be standing there on the stoop with their shower caps on, towels around their necks, and holding their scrub brushes saying, "Can we use your shower?" Hmmmm, try not to be too rude when you slam the door in their faces. Lol! Just Layla and me having a good chuckle. Cheers!

[@gypsyjenna]

Haha I have given Hilbert a shower or two with a pan of dish water when he would run up on me lol

[@trinityledge]

Yes ! Congrats ! ! Part 2 did not disappoint.

[@nopartsgarage6691]

Great job on your project. It's always nice when it finally finish and it all work.

I love how u just tackled that…. I’m thinking of doing ours as well but it’s intimidating me a bit 😂😂😂 Good job girly!

[@gypsyjenna]

Thank you 😊

[@josephfoster1445]

We have officially been full circle! The first video I ever watched was the original water heater install! It's been a fun ride, ups and downs, projects, heat, snow, driveway weeds and the ruffed grouse! What fun! Good morningafternoon to you! (You need to be sponsored by Canadian Tire)

[@gypsyjenna]

Haha I should eh? Canadian Tire is one of my go-to stores for sure. Thanks for coming along for the ride!

"The Jill-of-all-trades." That's so true. You did an excellent job.👍🏾

[@colin8532]

Ya, whith plumbing, I usually count on 3-4 trips to the hardware store to get everything I need to get a project finished. Plumbing is not my favorite task either. You did a great job getting your shower fixed Jenna, well done! Now you can shower without having to worry about any neighbours getting a show! ...... The squirrels have been talking though LOL :p

[@gypsyjenna]

The sad part is, I have had to return to the hardware store AFTER this video.. lol never ending..

[@colin8532]

@@gypsyjenna - I just buy more than I think I'm going to need when I do a plumbing job, then anything that I don't use, I throw in a box in storage. That way I have extra stuff for the next job when I find I don't have something I need. Owning an older home sucks! lol

[@gypsyjenna]

@colin8532 haha yes lots of repairs eh? And I think I have it bad, my home is TINY lol

[@12pawsinn]

If it makes you feel better, I listed my 34ft winnebago chieftain for sale... my new old house feels absolutely huge. I don't even use the 3 bedrooms upstairs.

[@davemcmichael602]

That turned out excellent!!!! Good job, Jenna. I'm impressed. 🛀🏽 And you were bang on with that weld at the start of the video - a real jerk!!! Love the stormy weather at the end. 🌩Bloody mice...also jerks!! 🐭🐭🐭

[@P_RO_]

The plastic sheeting under your trailer is called "Darco". There is a special tape used to patch it which you can get at a mobile home supply store if you ever need that. You did OK with the tub install, and the sequence of gluing up the parts is how the factory did it. You might be able to get in there from behind the faucet and foam under the tub (non-expanding type) which will help with insulation and heating; the downside is that it's a pain to get out if you ever have to access the area again. It's nice to see someone go at the DIY approach instead of giving up before they started 😎👍

[@gypsyjenna]

Thank you and now I also finally know what that thick tarp underneath is called 🙂

[@P_RO_]

@@gypsyjenna I didn't know the name myself till about a year ago 😉

[@iceman256]

Wow..fantastic job Jenna. Went through the same shyt on my 99 Mallard trailer, but had to replace half the floor due to water damage...made the floor punky 😢 Got lucky, none of the fittings had plumbers glue,everything went back together with Teflon tape..thank god. Your Jill of all trades,sweet 😊 Thanks for the share Sister 👊🇨🇦👊

Absolutely love your videos. Addicted to watching all the way from the UK. Love your humour and narrative.

What an awesome job on the tub. Things always takeknher than they say or we think. Inside showers awesome 🎉. Thank you for sharing. Learned more skills and how to make adjustments. Prime and paint. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia.

[@myrticearonson996]

Time to rig up an outdoor shower for sure. Sure would be awesome in summer time. And you can use the old tub as a planter or maybe fountain.

[@kenway968]

You did great, rv's and trailers are definitely not like homes , they are a pain in the rear. Two thumbs up girly.👍👍

[@sarahh1310]

I'm sure you will feel awesome next week when you get to take a shower with temperature control inside your home again. Great video!

[@gypsyjenna]

Thank you 😊

[@miriamharty5761]

Hi Jenna, a job well done I had my fingers crossed when you put the water in to test for a leak , after all that hard work I was happy for you. 😄

[@gypsyjenna]

Thank you 😊

So happy for you. You prove that we women can take care of ourselves. Thanks for your channel. Love your videos.

[@gypsyjenna]

[@zlatkozlatko100]

Failed gaskets and water leaks are not unusual even in brick and concrete houses. This has happened to me several times. Sometimes because of a bad plumber and sometimes because of bad and cheap materials. Grüße aus Deutschland.

[@BobbyWampler-tt5ou]

Enjoy watching your videos, I'm a RVer myself ( not full time , like u ) . Like the fact that ur a DIYer .. dont see many women that aren't afraid to tackle any and all their RV troubles..

[@phillippmorris4109]

hello from th quiet Ozarks Jenna! Another video of value! Always something! Another project completed! Tight lines and bent poles!

[@codyschwoch5451]

Two more things if that alien tape does not stick, use liquid nails and second before you shower, fill the tub up all the way and let it sit with the drain plugged for five or 10 minutes to make sure there ain’t no leaks where the drain meets the hole for the drain and then drain the water out and that will tell you if the drain is leaking or if your connections are leaking

[@danielsauriol]

Jenna, ANY project ALWAYS take more time than originally anticipated. It has nothing to do with you, this is true for anybody. I just subscribed to your channel because I will CERTAINLY learn several things from your projects ! Had a problem with my car and it did take quite a bit longer than I could have possibly imagined.... You are doing just great and you certainly have a lot of courage to tackle these projects. Two main take away's : you are swaving money, you are learning how to do these hands on projects and most importantly, when it's all said and done, we feel sooo good about having done it , completeed it, and checked it off the list !!! Kudos from Montreal !!! :-) Bravo !!!

[@gypsyjenna]

Thanks so much 😊

Perfect Jenna nice work there your hired for the next big job. stay safe and get ready for fall coming soon there.

[@codyschwoch5451]

And if you want to make it, so you have a full size tub in there instead of removing the wheel well the only thing you would have to do is bring up the piece that you stand in, so it’s flush with the wheel well and set it on the wheel well But if your camper is not a permanen structure as in if you’re not gonna move it, then you can do that

[@gypsyjenna]

I have considered it but the surround would be unusable and I would have to bend my knees to shower without hitting my head lol. It's just up too high

[@michaelferguson7735]

Yeah so proud of you superwoman for sure great content as usual Jenna my #1 channel

Getting ready to do a full bathroom renovation in our RV before winter… hoping to even move the toilet, we will see more once I pull up the floor. I know I have mice, and Mold, and a little bit of Rot from where the first toilet was failing… this gives me a little more confidence to tackle it.

[@gypsyjenna]

Good luck! 🍀🍀🍀

[@P_RO_]

I'd look for pics or vids of floor repair or rebuilding of your brand and model trailer or RV; toilets are often set and plumbed directly into the 'black water' tank, which means sealing the old hole or replacing the tank if you move the toilet. Things aren't as simple or straightforward with these compared to a regular home.

[@donboehner6005]

Nice work. I knew you could do it. 👍

This is my first visit with you. Great job on your diy project. You are more than competent, I would hate to have to tackle that myself. How do you vent the water heater?

[@gypsyjenna]

I use the fan and open vent. Honestly it is now different than using the cook stove in my opinion

[@garegardner6782]

very cool, I've been looking in to those water heaters. I have one of the diesel heaters like yours but havent hooked it up yet. I think I will be watching a lot of your videos over the coming winter. :) @@gypsyjenna

[@Slim875]

Good job! I noticed that you went with the Dewalt brand of battery operated drill over other brands on the market. Now I'm second guessing myself for the Drill Brand I chose. 😂

[@gypsyjenna]

😂 I do like Dewalt!

[@P_RO_]

There's a lot of good choices out there, and while DeWalt is still good, they're not as good as they once were. I've got 45 years in the business and when I went from 18V to 20V I stayed with DeWalt mostly because there is a battery adapter and most of my 18V tools were still good so I didn't have to replace them. For DIY and homeowner use I recommend Ryobi, they've improved from earlier days and have an extensive line of tools.

Hey J it's me , your learning some skills so when it comes to building a bunkie you will save some money not hiring pro's. Remember with a bunkie you will have your water inside all year round , now that's done go treat yourself to some fishing maybe another overnight at the cabin.
