Very nice ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@eddieman3702]

Nice job.

[@davidconstantino2896]

Nice job!

[@jmpattillo]

There isn’t a huge load above the new opening. Does is not need a header? Should you at least reinforce the truss under that attic window?

[@RunawayRoses]

Hi John Pattillo,. I actually did add some extra framing and supports in the wall I just didn't record it and put it in the video. You're correct it's a non load bearing wall so there's not much weight above. Thanks for watching!

[@sandradoan2964]

Find your comparison videos so helpful. Eventually hope to purchase a good used rig.

[@RunawayRoses]

@Sandra Doan thank you so much, it is good to know that our content is helpful. That really makes us feel good to know. Thank you for watching!

[@marketshare5273]

What did you do to compensate for the lost Header support. 👍👊😎

[@shilohandme3697]

yes, what did you do?

[@marketshare5273]

Was a question looks like you answered it seven months late

[@UprootedAdventures]

I like it! Definitely a must on our next house.

[@RunawayRoses]

Thanks! We'll definitely have one built on our next house too, lol. Hope you guys are doing well and getting in some good trips.

[@UprootedAdventures]

@@RunawayRoses Next house you selling it and hitting the road full time? And we had to stop back home for a friends wedding but back on the road again tomorrow!

[@RunawayRoses]

@@UprootedAdventures no we will probably be here in this house for a while. We're can't afford to go full time. We would like to go on some longer trips though and keep our home base. Maybe someday we'll be able to do that but for now we'll just live vicariously through you guys 😁👍

[@UprootedAdventures]

@@RunawayRoses Hey that's not a bad deal either, it's expensive on the road. Atleast you still get to play. Will see how long we last, hoping the youtube gig takes off for us haha. But will try not to let you down, and keep the videos coming!

[@TravelswithDelaney]

Awesome video guys!! From a creators standpoint, you nailed it on this one! Those doors are awesome. Now it’s time for Todd to come to Tall Pine Lodge and help me renovate our front deck.

[@RunawayRoses]

Thanks Patrick,. I appreciate the nice comment. If I was nearby I would definitely come help on the deck. We are looking forward to seeing both of you soon. Todd

[@kd4pon]

Wow I can't believe you tackled that. Those garage door springs can kill! I miss the Artic Fox but love the Lance since I have one.

[@RunawayRoses]

Thanks Jim! We're loving our Lance too! 👍😁

[@ChrisXif1]

Nice solution. Where is the support header for the opening?

[@DC-gy3wj]

Nice professional job!

[@stinger4583]

That is nice. Very cool. Good job.

[@DreamingOutloudRVing]

Great job! Looks fantastic! Probably best you did it yourself anyway.

[@garymccarver5006]

This was a sad reminder for me that my dad lost his life four years ago doing the same project for his new camper that was two feet to tall for his existing roll up door. He suffer a fall from his ladder onto concrete resulting in a traumatic head injury that he never regained consciousness from. He lingered for ten days till his body simply gave up. His fall occurred only four days after he purchased his new camper, never got to spend a single night in it. Please take our sad experience as a reminder to take ever possible precaution when working on ladders. It saddens me to know others will suffer the same fate because of an instant of inattention. Please don't be one of them.

[@CR10.07]

Gary Mccarver sorry for your loss and YES good wisdom and share

[@cdlady54_95]

So sorry for your loss and how he passed. I pray you continue to remember him well and what he loved. Blessings.

[@RunawayRoses]

@Gary Mccarver so sorry for your loss. Thank you for this important reminder!

[@Towelie4200]

I recommend a bike helmet when on ladders Might look sily But worth a sad tragedy like this Rip your Dad

[@donoien3059]

Nice job. Looks good.

[@RunawayRoses]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching!

I had other comments about the 1st half, but thought best to leave them unsaid..!! LOL! But, on the 2nd half: I would have used galvanized steel studs for the door frames as they will not shrink, rot and pull apart over time.. You will need proper drip edge flashing under the siding and over the door tops (the siding will need to cut higher) to divert water from flooding the interior and a vertical weather strip on one door to overlap the joint between the doors when closed.. One long brace for such tall doors is not enough. Also needed are proper gussets to hold the doors square and prevent sagging over time.. Those hinges are worthless.. Extra large, aluminum piano hinges and screws are what is necessary for the weight and act as flashing/weather stripping between the doors and the jambs.. I could go on about this obvious home-owner attempt, but I am a friend and not foe and will say no more.. LOL! Good luck, Todd, you'll need it.. Happy camping, you two...!!!

[@RunawayRoses]

I did add new drip edge flashing above the doors and under the siding and extra supports in the walls. The hinges work just fine but if I have to replace them with larger ones I will. I didn't show everything that I did. I'm not an expert Carpenter but I'm sure plenty of people that comment will think they are and will tell me I should have done it differently. The doors aren't perfect but they get the job done! Take Care and Thanks for watching!

[@pjf7943]

@@RunawayRoses Well, Todd, I AM an expert carpenter, framer, electrician, plumber and also many more trades.. I was NOT trying to upstage you, but, I do like to build it right the first time and not over and over again wasting time and money, especially in wet/damp/humid/bug ridden climates.. Some of my suggestions may be helpful the next time.. LOL! Take care and be well....

[@RunawayRoses]

I should have had you do it for me. I was trying to find someone to do it for me but the contractors I spoke with acted like they didn't want to do it. Two general contractors and one garage door company. I figured they were all probably busier with bigger projects. Thanks for the tips.

[@pjf7943]

@@RunawayRoses I was making suggestions to others who might want to do the same. Thank you for being a good sport, it's one of the reasons why I watch your videos. Enjoy!!!

[@cdlady54_95]

Great job! Now add a lock on the doors. As Mr. Rogers said Can I be your neighbor??!!! 👌🏽👍🏽💖

[@RunawayRoses]

@cdLady 👍😁 Lock added, now we're ready to go camping! Thank you for watching and for commenting.

[@ramtowit549]

Great upgrade and will make storing the TC soooooo much easier. You are very talented and probably did a better job than a hired contractor. On another note; I suggest that you leave the Lance outside a few times during some significant rain and weather. I own a 2018 Lance 995 (bought new) and discovered a significant leak in the roof and front cap area. It was a warranty repair (thank goodness) but if I had kept it inside and under cover the entire time the damage might not have shown up during the warranty period. This is just some advice from a fellow Lance owner . Once you let it sit through a hurricane or two, I would definitely start using that wonderful indoor space you have to house it. Respectfully submitted.

[@outcast1763]

Looks great job well d one. As far as getting some one to call you back or do some work ,Its like pulling teeth Iv e been down that road many times.

[@joycemoses2411]

Great job!

[@NixPix]

We have many smaller buildings but my husband would love to have that right there great video

[@edwilson9243]

Nice job, love that CUMMINS👍

Thanks Ed, we're loving it too! 😁👍

[@thomasdipaolo2349]

Kudos to you. I am the same way. Rather do it myself

[@jeffwaldorf2334]

Looks great 👍

[@DHexcavation]

Are you still using the froli? I just ordered mine...

[@RunawayRoses]

We haven't put it in our new camper but we plan to. Thanks for watching.

[@raymondemigii4086]

Job well done looks great,, look at all the money you saved ,camping trip

[@garyferguson1552]

Your are a amazing man! That is one beautiful rig my friend

[@williamirizarry2490]

FANTASTIC LOOKING AND GREAT WORKMANSHIP...GOOD LUCK. BY THE WAY ..WHERE DO YOU LIVE.

[@cj2467]

I bet Carla helped in bringing the header down and that’s why we don’t have video of that😜! Great job! Convinced me we need a 12 x 14 door on our garage build as I’m not the precision driver you guys are! Very smartly done and looks great! Just needs some paint now!

[@sobodon]

What is the height of the opening now? Thanks.

[@texasproud3332]

Looks good most likely you’re own labor makes it a lot cheaper

[@RunawayRoses]

Yes, we agree. That's another reason for doing it ourselves. Thank you so much for watching!

[@jim-uu2db]

i think you need another truck camper.

[@clarap2191]
