+Charles E Graham II Thanks Charles!

[@chilidog73]

This is where I would get lazy. I probably would have just ran it to that 12v light in the closet and put a switch right there. :/

[@paulthetallsigma1552]

I love your enthusiastic way of doing things, I usually whistle my way through many songs as I am tasking.

[@grayeagleswolves]

[@hemraj1705]

Wonderful Reno. Project & thoroughly enjoyable, best part is its simplicity!

[@farmerstanbrand4064]

Girl you are something else. 👍👍

[@lakeforestjoe]

Pippi, I love your KZbin channel. Been viewing for 2yrs +. I even have a sticker on my locker at work and a tee shirt. I work for Xerox and have for 34+yrs. What I love most is you always teach us/me something. Keep doing what you're doing and God bless you.

[@PippiPeterson]

Thanks so much Joe ☺️ Happy trails!

[@lighthouseworshipcenter3748]

[@jimc91]

Great Job! Thanks for sharing this in a very detailed way.

[@kathygirlygirl4109]

BOOM!!! Done! Check, Check. Neeeext. Pippi, you just never cease to amaze me. Keep up the amazing work you do. You know just about every inch of that RV.

[@SN-qu2gz]

You're the best Pippster! We just love this show.

[@PippiPeterson]

+S Naas Thank you ☺️

[@FredMcIntyre]

Really cool Pippi!

[@onrycodger]

Wow! Miss Pippi, you always amaze me with your knowledge of everything related to RV living. If I wasn't getting to be older than dirt, I'd be wanting to meet you. You're always smiling, which sets the stage for another great video. :)

[@MrRentgould]

Admiration for your independence , bravo

[@rorybentley61]

It always amazes me how you will do just about anything. I just love seeing all the different up grades you've done to your Motor home. You inspire me to do things at my own home. Thanks.

[@PippiPeterson]

+Rory Bentley Thanks Rory

[@ricksparks2986]

Nice! Very helpful!

[@lollipopinyourmouth7307]

Yay!! Isn't it nice when things come together! It sounds like it's gonna be a lot of fun installing one of these units. Oh my gosh... Thank you for the awesome video!!!💙

[@PippiPeterson]

+Eloy Ortiz Thanks Eloy

[@Kim-n-Brian]

Great job....looks awesome !

[@dapperdanman1956]

great show pippi!

[@bradsadventuresmiller3790]

Always enjoy your videos pippi!!!

[@Derek-zh5ki]

I've watched both of your 2 part awning installation. I can't believe you have a few dislikes. Haters! You're absolutely awesome! I'd like to see the haters do any better. It amazes me that people hide behind their computer and need to be critical of a person trying to help others. Once again another great video! Thanks for the help.

[@PippiPeterson]

Thanks Derek

[@GatorLife57]

Good job Pippi !!! ☺ Thumbs up. ENJOY.... THE SIMPLE LIFE

[@MisterDusk007]

AWESOME video as usual Pippi, i could listen to you say the word "Chassis" all day long 😋

[@KauaiMike1000]

looks great & the awning's not bad :)

[@marknaylor3468]

You do a great job love your vids

[@maggiebuchanan9369]

A wonderful informative video as always. I can just bet that awning will make it much cooler inside this summer, from all that sun on that side of the RV. Always looking forward to the next video. Take care & by for now.

[@MrStash777]

You can come and install my electrics anytime; GREAT job...

[@RYU583]

Nice Job. love to do this upgrade on my Rv

[@rickillam]

[@elainefleureton5536]

Amazing!!!

[@Arcane]

Pippi is so cute

[@WORRO]

Buddy you Rawk! Good job. Thumb's up video!~John

[@josephbrauer2573]

well done lady .

[@markwilson9972]

I think you did a terrific job.

[@PippiPeterson]

+Mark Wilson Thanks!

[@itzmepete]

Great Job! I would have loosened the bottom underside Winterizing cover and ran the wiring under the RV and fished it up inside. But Heck, you did great!

[@Raven4122]

not bad Newbie lol, I went with the Eclipse but opted for the Acrylic, yes only 1 yr warranty BUT even yours is only covered for manufacture defects, Stitches pulling out or cracks not weather related Big factor i went with Acrylic Its breathable whereas Vinyl will keep heat in so its a bit hotter underneath on sunny days.. Nice vid Pippi..

[@leewilliams7443]

Awesome job on that awning Pippi you are such a talented young lady I'm thinkin no project big or small would scare ya off lets see this at night now I wanna see those L.E.D. lights keep the vids comin and Keep On RV'n...

[@geraldmatuszewski2941]

Good video you are really good with tools who taught you how to use tools I say that with respect very knowledgeable

[@debwaldron9894]

Great instructions. Would like to see the led lighting and hear how you liked it.

[@airacephillips8398]

Great job, just as a thought you could have used a white wire chase that you can get at a hardware or home store that has a channel that you close and then has a sticky back that attaches to the wall! It makes a good looking run through the cabin.

[@rolandboyd.rb60boyd50]

look at all the shade you have another job well done how do the LED lights work

[@JEFFTUCKERLrod]

Gr8 Job on your Awning. I have a 1990 Bounder and the Light on the Drivers, were is the switch on your bounder to control that light? I have no idea where mine is and have no power to mine and really want to be able to use that light. Thanks for all your video's as they a a big help to me. I am a Newby and have only had mine since feb. and it is my 1st rv.

[@davidcaruso9123]

As always another great informative video , molto brava ; )

[@PippiPeterson]

+David Caruso Thanks!

[@davidcaruso9123]

Pippi Peterson, Prego amica mia😉

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Excellent job, can the wind device be added to any electric awning?

[@jeffchilds3211]

Now Pippi..... That was an awesome 2 part series! I love the fact that you see a need for something and just go solve it! I've never seen an awning on the drivers side of a class A, and will admit, looks pretty darn snazzy! Great Job! Keep doing what you love and keep loving what you do my friend! Btw, got your shirts that we ordered from your website: Pippenings.com yesterday and love them!! :-)

[@PippiPeterson]

Thank you Jeff!

[@nitaf71]

do you have to do a special seal on the wires that are by the shower to keep it safe?

[@DavidBowen]

you're amazing! nice job. one question though. couldn't you have routed the wire through the floor instead of going through your shower area? you know.... the water/electrical thing?

[@zanesutherland406]

Awesome video as always! Have you noticed a temperature change when u put reflectix in the back of your cabinets?

[@johndowney3248]

An awesome comment, like you requested. How many costume changes does it take to shoot one video? Or how long did it take you to wire the awning? Because what I saw was only less than 20 minutes. I admire anyone who tackles these kinds of projects. The guy who finally wins your heart will be one lucky and awesome dude.

[@Raven4122]

I dont think she wants a dude she was probably screwed over at some point and it ruined it for any decent guys OR she is into chicks, who knows who cares..

[@loveu2222]

excellent job,my questions,why did you put on Left side of your RV,just because a shade?

[@paulwicklund5044]

So when are you leaving on your road trip to the Midwest.

[@rolandboyd.rb60boyd50]

I have a question how are your solar panels coming and will you be able to run a tankless water heater off them and a two burner induction hot plate and your and your refrigerator all day so you can save on propane

[@retparatrooper]

I enjoy the fact that you are a go getter. I think after watching your wiring job, I would have just used drill battery to extend and retract. I enjoy your videos due to the fact you are very independent and unafraid to try renovations.

[@OcRefrig]

Good Vid. Huge Awning ! How Long is that Awning? 12ft ? 15 ft ? How much For the Awning ?

[@garyfairs4497]

It's low voltage no problem. I enjoyed the video and I do have to say you are beautiful in a lot of ways.

[@douglamp178]

Terrific job Pippi. Does your coach have an awning on the starboard side?

[@raven7068]

That's awesome is there any way you can teach my wife to do all things you do in your RV. Imagine me working 40 to 50 hours a week and coming home on my days off and being able to relax and not do any repairs or add-on additions because my wife has it done already that would be awesome 👍😎

[@Dan-yw9sg]

Pippi, you amaze me! Is there any project that you will not tackle? Like I tell my daughter, "you go girl!!" Thank you for sharing! :)

[@fireside007]

2 ~ Kewl . . . YOU ~ ROCK ! !

[@ogbkosscripkeastcyderipkry6441]

Damn 🔥👀💪

[@wanderingtravels2488]

Wow wee

[@jasonsimmons7335]

what model did you select?

[@rexjerome5931]

Just curious, what's the sensor on the outside do? A limit switch or something? Great job.

[@vicO1323]

If there is too much wind it will retract automatically.

[@smallfootprint2961]

Great work, Pippi. Enjoy the shade. How is it going to be to have the awning attached while traveling. Guess it's made for that?

[@PippiPeterson]

+small footprint It's made for that 😉

[@smallfootprint2961]

Guess I figured that out but was a little worried. Have fun as you hit the road. Looking forward to hearing more about it.

[@suzanneribas2796]

I'm wondering why you haven't mounted another awning on the other side???

[@brandonj.williams4661]

Wonder what made you put it on the driver side.

[@PippiPeterson]

Two big windows over there and had one on the curb side

[@georgebeasley2550]

smart

[@teddyr7901]

😎 👍 👍 👍

[@DUSTY1373]

[@mettahuttravels3183]

Pippi Peterson🤓please wear your eye protection 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@DonnieDarko1]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@tomnbird]

Where you put your hot wire if you look below you see silver looking screws below those are for your ground. FYI for next time Wire color white is Neutral , Green for ground avoid those colors when running them so someone behind you doesn't get confused. Great job though

[@samclare7533]

I'm impressed Pippi. Wiring is Greek to me. Would you be interested in being a handywoman for me on my ranch.

[@DawgPrepper]

WOW..... :)

[@BlaneysChannel]

You didn't tell us you are Thomas Edison's great granddaughter.😀

[@albduke]

please more spontaneous hula hoop dances

[@cubalibresincastros6046]

How much cost $$.

[@tatmanco]

come over and do mine !

[@suzanneribas2796]

Why do you cover your wheels in white?

[@PippiPeterson]

Those are UV protective covers

[@ae4xo]

Im not sure about having electrical near the shower either. I guess she knows what she is doing.

[@pfotenflusterer9097]

Greetings from Germany... You are soooooo cute...

[@offgridinthethirdact]

Good job. Just FYI; You don't pronounce the "s" on the end of chassis. It's pronounced cha-see.

[@Chris-pz3cf]

Great video, thanks for sharing. Sorry to see the misogyny in your comments.

[@Rebar160]

Why would you want it on the same side as your sewer hose!

[@Rebar160]

kragseven Oh I see thanks.

[@I_Am_Michael]

what she fails to tell you is her other job. when she is not busy doing important stuff, like wiring her RV and taking care of her dog, she has a part time wiring the Antares Rocket System.

[@PippiPeterson]

+michael adams 👍😄

[@JackandMatea]

Looks like it's on the wrong side of the motorhome... otherwise a great install.

[@johnnybush8764]

Most Valuable Electric Awning Wiring, Pippi! Turn It Off! :)

[@Apollo9733us]

Wait a minute, as a Man you get this all wrong. First of all, real men do not need no stinken instructions and second as far as a volt meter goes...you hook up the ground, power up the red wire, stand in the shower, turn the water on and grab both ends of the wires, if the hair on the back of your neck stands up, its good, if not, up the voltage. Simple!!

[@khanhng2010]

do you have a boyfriend pippy?
