Good morning happy Saturday to all !!! From Chicago

[@tevbrannan5885]

The collapsible cone!!! We've been wanting one so that was great to see you got one. My husband worries when I watch your videos and talk about your amazon store. :-) Off I go there now. lol Thanks for the tips.

[@CycleST1300]

When my wife and I travel we tow our motorcycles in a trailer. When we're out on the bikes we take along 2 portable chairs and a portable table that are a little smaller than the costco chair you have. We found them invaluable during the pandemic when you could only get carry out food.

[@garythovson2587]

You guys are really in the know about space saving! You need that cone for that big parking space. Have a great Saturday.😎🤓🥸

[@LivinRVision]

😂 Ya know, it’s the same as our F250 was for parking except for height. Especially after we dropped off the e-bikes.

[@billpitts1034]

Those are all great ideas. I love the simplicity of the chairs. I heard the table can be challenging to put together. 🤣🤣 Those chairs would be perfect for the kids baseball games. They take up way less room in the back of the vehicle too. I just love the simplicity of your living. Not all bogged down and concerned about stuff. Less is more I always say.

[@LivinRVision]

Brian is much better at setting up those chairs than I am, lol! 🤓

[@melaniejohnson606]

Your videos are always a must watch every Saturday. Keep up the good work. Can't wait for the next adventure no matter what it is. Safe travels.

Towels really improved the storage space! Huge beach towels! We love them! We have the Turkish towels but not absorbing like we hoped. You guys really have gotten it together! We are heading to Palm Springs in few weeks to check out pie at Sherman's & their sandwiches! Can't wait! Also Joshua Tree tour! We love our pop out cones! We use Ikea blue carrier bags for laundry & think of y'all at laundromat! Livin the RV vision 😂

[@LivinRVision]

😂👍🏻 Try the Stacker Reuben at Sherman’s and you can’t go wrong with the Bavarian Coconut Cream Pie there. It is much better than their others. I am convinced that is the only reason Michelle likes the Palm Springs area! 😂

[@carolmcdaniel7693]

Lots of good ideas! I use those hangers, too. Thanks!

[@wanderingwithwellness]

It’s good to see a ‘van life’ RVer that is ok using a campground w/power, water, etc. it seems all the van people are so excited & proud to only shower 1x a month. I’m still working on moving from the 5th wheel to a van. Thanks for all the tips & inspiration. Safe travels.

[@lowellpollock4696]

Lots of neat things for van lifestyle. We also have similar items that make small spaces more comfortable. Always fun to see different items to use. We're thinking of selling our van. Working a project, but hope to be back on the road again after that. You can be sure we will hold to those items that make life easier on the road. Maybe a Grech 😁

[@mikemadden865]

Great video. Thanks for always providing excellent entertainment, especially the opening!

[@rossm7071]

Love the storage drawer from Target. That would be perfect for my Sprinter van. I am always having difficulty storing things due to the limited back of the van space. Thanks for this video. Very helpful

[@teriglad1]

Neat. Literally. Lol😂 I could use a couple of these items here at home as I try to clear out some things and be a little more organized and minimize. Thanks you two. Make it a great week!

[@seabliss22]

Lots of great tips. Be careful when buying that blender as there are tons of knockoffs that don't work as well. I've seen that egg maker and been on the fence about buying it. Can it do other things besides boil an egg? Funny story... Our air conditioner broke down while in Florida. It was too hot to cook outside and we didn't want to fire up the gas stove inside so we used our little waffle maker to cook hot dogs on. It worked great 😃

[@LivinRVision]

You can get the Blendjet on their own website or at Walmart. Great idea on using the waffle maker!

[@dawnie3029]

We were walking around the new section and was wondering if they allowed vans in those huge spots. Then we spotted a van, and now I know it was you! Sure liked staying at TTO.

[@LivinRVision]

Ha! You should of stopped to say hi! Yes, as you know TTO is very busy and sometimes it’s either that or a nasty sandy spot that nobody else wants. As you know, you are escorted to a site and when a bunch of others are getting escorted to sites all at about the same time during check-in, selecting a Sat or Sun, you better pick a site quick and you don’t have time to drive around and look around or you will lose a site. There is no difference than a small trailer parked there. Nothing is reserved or anyone BUT, when we go to a campground unlike TTO that is not like that, as long as there is a smaller “decent” site available, we choose it and leave the bigger one for someone else with a bigger rig. Hence our video when we were in Washington last year. Safe travels!

[@Cindydidit]

Good Morning from Brooksville Florida🙂

[@jerrilynnbicek7996]

Great ideas! Always enjoy your videos.

[@annekruszka8441]

I love your KZbin channel. You are frank and honest. Have you ever done a video on best routes to take? Scenic, quick, food, things to do? We bought the blendjet2 last weekend and are excited for our next trip.

[@LivinRVision]

We’re glad you enjoy them. No, we have just showed our routes through the videos as we have traveled.

[@ellenbower4825]

Great tips! Thank you.

[@tanya334]

Great ideas ! Safe Travels ❤️

[@stacyrector8515]

I love that collapsible cone! You all always have great ideas, I use a lot of them myself. We’ve had different camper types over the years and you have to learn what works best for each one. This month we just downsized from a 28’ Winnebago vista( loved it just not the mpg) to a 25’ Winnebago View. Even 3 feet makes a lot of difference in our trip items and packing . 😧 I’m interested in that egg machine!!🧐 As always, great video!💜

[@kathycampbell8000]

I was wondering about those cones when I saw them in another video, I need to get a couple. Sorry guys, not loving those chairs 👎, but I understand why you have them. BUT, the thing I liked the most you didn’t mention and that was Michelle’s socks (or slippers) she was wearing…. Very cool 😎 😁👍

[@lavonwhittington4842]

I love the socks too. I noticed them right away 😁

[@aeroringordmngr8739]

good morning from freezing Seattle. brrrr. Thanks for the video.

[@jeanknapp6749]

Wow, we have almost everything you guys have. I have two of the skinny black hand vacs. One bought at Bed, Bath and Beyond. The other from Walmart. We’ve had all these things for 3 years. One for truck and one inside 5th wheel. Love them! I just used our egg cooker yesterday for boiled eggs. We’ve made poached eggs too. Also bought the Jetblend after watching your video on it. Another good video guys!!

[@LivinRVision]

🧡😊🤓 Some of these things we have had for a long time that works well in all RVs, but some, like the cones, were a must in the van! 😂😉

[@PenelopeA57]

I have a blendjet and I love it! I really need to get rid of my ninja but you never know when you might need it….right?? 😂 Anyways when I had an issue with my blendjet (which turned out to be my stupidity) they responded to my email within the hour and they were so helpful. I don’t have a van but I love space saving tips! Dang I could have an entire shelf if I got rid of the ninja 🤪

[@Banagal]

Thanks for the great space saving recommendations. I could use the hangers and the REI towels. We love our Blendjet blenders and they save so much space. Guess a shopping I will go...or at least explore for now. We're in the early middle of the artic storm that hit the US. How are you two doing in this weather?

[@LivinRVision]

We are in Florida. ☀️

[@lolal1026]

I have that little Shark vac, it's great, got my thru HSN abt 10.00 cheaper (may have been a special) its been a couple yrs. Holds a charge for a long time also.

[@wes10011]

Nice video

[@Tbone376]

Hey guys, I love your show especially all your new ideas for Storage. I am interested in the hinges and supports that you use for your upper cabinets. Can you give me some information about them so I can find them

[@LivinRVision]

Those are installed by Grech RV at the factory.

[@sandymajors9771]

All I could think about was what a bad idea it is to have your laptop on the stove LOL.

[@LivinRVision]

😂

[@sandymajors9771]

There were some great space saving ideas. 🙂

[@watermadewell7303]

We’re getting closer to getting our GrechRV lounge! Thanks for all your informative videos about this van in and out. I have a request. Could you show us if the lagoon table in the back where Michelle sits when doing her work how close it can be positioned near the counter in the galley, to be used as a extra place to set a pot, bowl, or even a cutting board on it if I needed extra counter space? Can it lock in place too? I hoping it can work. Thanks for all you do guys, Donna.

[@LivinRVision]

Hello and thanks for your message. When we first got this model with the area to put the Lagun table by the sink, we did talk about that table and the problem is, that the Lagun table does not position up high enough to lock in place. It is really meant to be lower so that you can also use the table outside. Work needs to be done in order to use it this way to have the bracket up higher or double stack brackets so that you can use the table low or high. We ourselves liked the older model where it had the fold up table because it was more easily accessible and was much more handy to use and for us we didn’t have to bother with moving the Lagun table back-and-forth. The same thing is true with the table where it is in the back, you can’t lift it up too high because there is not enough length, but you can still use it where it is and swing it around to set things on it which could still work for you just the way it is. It is located close enough to the counter in the back if that would work for you.

[@watermadewell7303]

Fantastic info, yes if the lagun table can get close enough to the counter and lock at its highest level that will work for us. Thank you so much and by the way you guys are great Grech ambassadors 😊

[@LivinRVision]

🧡😊🤓

[@marshashannon2330]

We have the same model as yours except refrigerator has the big drawer which we like for either drinks or salad makings. Question: how do you organize the back “garage area” and we got the disco-beds but not happy with how they move around while sleeping. Do you have tips on keeping them from spilling over into the walkway area (We don’t extend the ottomans-or only one not both). Thanks in advance. Enjoyed your video.

[@LivinRVision]

We had that same refrigerator on the first model we tested for 6 months and we liked that drawer also, but now having this refrigerator, we like it better for a few reasons. It has more space, especially in the freezer. It has fold up sections for drinks in the fridge also. The Disco beds, we keep our Lagun table attached (Michelle uses for her work - easier for us without taking it in and out all the time) as you probably are aware from watching our videos where we talk about much of these things, but the arm keeps one side in place and then while driving, we take one pillow and place it in the middle and lock in the Lagun table in place over the pillow and it keeps the other side in place and locks in both from the middle. The Disco-beds are not a perfect option but they are MUCH better than using a sheet set which we tried.

[@jeanettesjourney9147]

Great ideas. We had a B and did a lot of the same. We got a vac similar to the second one. It's a MooShoo and it works so well we love it. Love your suggestion to roll dirty clothes too. Haven't yet tried that but I sure will. Have been taking our Magic Bullet with us but of course it requires a 110 outlet so not useable when boondocking if we don't carry our solar generator. Would be interested to know if the Blendjet holds up over time.

[@LivinRVision]

We’ve had the same Blendjet for about a year now and so far it’s still working well.

Hubs hates the REI towels. What’s wrong with him! Great blog

[@LivinRVision]

😂 Well they aren’t like a normal towel for sure, but we have tried 3 other brands and these have been the best so far for saving space, absorbent and quick drying.

[@exploringcoasttocoast0203]

Ice cubes- I’m used to hard trays that you twist to loosen the cubes. How do you get cubes out of the silicone?

Twist and push from the bottom. They pop right out.

No REI links but they are the REI brand. The body towels are the same length as a normal body towel.

All greats items and tips. The white racks in your cabinets, are those the same ones you have on your Amazon store?

[@LivinRVision]

We bought ours from Home Depot but we believe these are the same. We would recommend measuring your space before buying. We also had to interlink two of them together in order to get them to fit side by side in a couple of our top cabinets.

[@titomesserli26]

@@LivinRVision We have a Grech also, Terreno-Ion, so same size cabinets except for the one over the rear doors, so I figured the racks listed on your store were the same. We did however order from your Amazon store, the laundry bag (We we’re using a pillow case), some of the soft baskets, hangers, and the Shark vacuum. We have an old Dyson from our Airstream but it’s too bulky for the Van

[@LivinRVision]

Yeah, we had to get rid of our Dyson also when we went to the van. The pillowcase is a good idea. The size bag we use is much bigger than that and holds 3 loads which has worked perfect “for us” and the bag is a mesh that breathes well.

[@titomesserli26]

@@LivinRVision We also took your advice and got a few of the towels from REI since you didn’t have them on your store. And we already had several of those collapsible cones, which you should add to your store.

[@LivinRVision]

The REI towels are not on Amazon, so we can not add them to our store.

[@bryanguthrie4038]

I went out to our 2022 Grech and looked at the space behind the drivers seat. You are blocking a heat vent with your drawers. I live in OR and need to run the heater. Have you run your heater since you put in your drawers? If so, any problems? Thanks for your great videos!

[@LivinRVision]

You are talk no about the heater from the engine and that would depend on which vents you have your settings for the heat to come from, just like with any vehicle. We only used the heat from the engine during our trip to Iowa this past holiday/Thanksgiving and no issues. We stay in warm climates 99% of the time and the only time we need heat is at some locations when it gets cool in the evenings and we of course use the Timberline Diesel heater, not the heater from the engine compartment/dash. We typically select the vents setting on the dash for getting AC or heat when needed.

[@bryanguthrie4038]

@@LivinRVision This is a Timberline vent behind the drivers seat on the closet wall. Maybe it was moved in 2023. It’s because of your videos that I became aware of Grech and now there is one in my driveway!

[@LivinRVision]

Hmm don’t recall one being there in the 2022 either. Interesting

[@johncassady5523]

Just asking for your opinion on the exterior color. Do you prefer the Silver or White? We are ordering one and was curious for your thoughts.

[@LivinRVision]

We like the White but we would prefer it with the light interior also. That’s just our taste and it brightens up the interior.

[@kaitlynjanosik3502]
