The One Where We Try To Get A Couch Through Our RV Window

[@cornerstone403]

OK, that island is incredible!!! This just turned from plain to elegant!!!

[@leslyehowell3390]

Great to have brought in outside techs to personalize the RV. Thanks to all.

The Saga of the Sofa(s)! This was a particularly entertaining episode, and I'm very appreciative of how you're willing to show us the indecision and trepidation that went into partially dismantling your RV 😁 The new interior looks incredibly light and airy. Looking forward to the continued remodel!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Love the faded look of Nathan’s shirt. Looks super vintage

[@lisamorand9607]

You have great ppl in your life. That couch is beautiful. I knew you would paint the cabinets. It does not have to be sharp white it could be a warm white or light ivory. It all looks so bright and airy. Stunning.

[@martymaddox7828]

Love the reface on the island and the life facia........looks great. The new light fixture is beautiful......and the chevron pattern table is genius. Maybe the RV industry needs to pay attention to folks that are making their RV a home.......good luck on your journeys!!!!!❣️🤗❣️🤗❣️

[@BethNichol2025]

I am not one for white in RV's, but I love your couch, island, trim, and more, You have always had trailer homes that are stylish, but still homey. Great job.

[@johnhutchins809]

This past summer while my wife was mowing the yard, she passed by our trailer with frameless dual pane windows like yours, when the mower threw a rock and hit the window. The window did not shatter, but broke into thousand little pieces. $600.00 later and an additional 2 hours labor at the dealer, it was replaced. Next time the mower will be off while passing the trailer. Your window is bigger and probably a lot more expensive. Glad everything went well.

[@Debberdoon]

I grew up on military bases where there were usually 2-3 floor plans, many of my friends had a house just like me but the personalities were greatly diverse 😁

[@musicdesign7264]

Like the changes so far. The island and couch are definite winners. For the benches, if they are too hard to sit on you can easily make two padded cushions. Take it off for coffee table time :)

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for the tips!

[@OurLicencetoTravel]

Don't feel too bad guys! When I was working for Fire we have had to take windows out of homes to be able to take very large bed ridden patients to the hospital... You just do what you have to do... Love 😀🙏💖🍷 OLT

[@moricey4776]

I was thinking the next phase you would put new kitchen cabinets in. I feel painting wouldn’t give you the color you would be happy with. For myself either. Looking 👍🏻🇺🇸🤔

Something to be mentioned about 12v bulbs. Some do not have the ability to change polarity internal to the bulb. Some require a specific polarity or they will blow instantly.

[@eleanorcramer7986]

Oh sweet. Just met you but I’m thrilled for you And the third child. Made to go with you. Room for quilt to fold over arm. Oooo!

[@tracycummings3053]

Put it through the window. I pulled out all RV furniture & put home furnishings in. We put our new furniture through the back window in 2007 & 2012. At that time we had a 2005 Grand Junction. Can’t hurt, won’t hurt anything to do it this way.

[@tjtexas5130]

Now add power outlet(s) (to charge devices - search “desk power”) and/or cup holders to the couch side tables . . .

Like the island redo..not sure about the exposed wood..but like new table benches...fun video..

[@wanderingstar3498]

I LOVE the island trim. It's beautiful! I like leaving all the wood natural but be sure to seal it somehow or it will start to discolor and look bad. Great job everyone!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@annek1226]

Oh for sure! Take a scrap piece and try a few sealers before you commit! I would be looking for something with a flat finish so I didn’t loose that natural look with a glossy shine! Looking great!

[@scottendicott3249]

Awesome information. Peaked my attention when I saw Cookeville, TN on your video intro. Went back to the beginning and saw the video about Defeated Creek. Just don't expect to see that on youtube. That was an eye opener. I grew up in Clay county and we lived in Baxter for 5 years before moving to St Augustine, FL. Our one son graduated from Upperman in 2017. Love what you're doing.

[@TheWestlandgirl]

Creative!! Gotter done and the window is better sealed than the others. Cool!

[@julielifejusthappens1232]

It is looking good. Yes paint the cabinets to look warmer and lighter. Hope you patch the holes in the wall by the table.

[@gregormiller4037]

PLUS, that couch and wood work really tie the whole room together.

[@billwelter509]

I have a suggestion that might help the couch cushions last longer. Measure the bottom of the seat cushions and cut a 3/8 inch plywood and place it under the cushions. This way the cushions won't sag and it will stay firm. Good luck, Bill

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for the tip!

[@lisazimmerman5622]

It's funny that this was your solution! We just put a new fridge in our RV and the tech who helped us said he was glad we kept it reasonably sized, as he had taken off a large window to get a fridge in for someone.

[@annateague2354]

We were so lucky when we change our couch out we have a toy haulers we dropped down the ramp took it through the sliding glass door which worked out great. We also totally remodeled the inside of our fifth wheel

[@ChuckD2737]

I knew you could do that window removal although I'm sorry you both stressed over the removal process. Rightfully so I'm glad you paid attention to the window seal when you put it back in as that is actually the most critical point of the reinstall. GREAT WORK and I love the personal touches you are putting into your home. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished (as if it is ever truly finished) product. Now relax and enjoy it. Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!

[@Ournotsoperfectlife]

Oh crap... that window had our stomachs all tied up!!! Shoot, you could’a brought a chest freezer in the rig!! 😂🤣 excellent finishes all around guys!!

[@ginaroberts2964]

When we sold our house and purchased another one, we had no idea NONE of our sofas or large chairs would fit in the doors. (who thinks to measure doors on a house - we didn't) Anyway, my living room sofa was very new, but there it sat in the garage. We purchased another on Wayfair and it was a minature sofa like the one you returned ha ha Anyway, we kept looking for one that might fit and finally found our same favorite sofa could be purchased in pieces and connected once on site! Viola and $4,000 later we had the same sofa again. I loved this episode and the RV is looking amazing!

Thank you so much.

Hey this is a very good looking remodel! In my trailer I have natural wood…I have a Nucamp Tab400 Boondock LOL! 😆 it’s tiny and could probably fit in your living room … I’ve wall papered and tiled and cut down my table so I folds down at the front…changed out the cabinet hardware for slow close hardware so no more slamming and I installed two pull out drawers for the under stove cabinet…I’m just about done but I keep thinking I want to paint the bathroom door…and here’s the catch, I haven’t even used it yet - it’s brand new with 250 miles on it from the dealership. 😂 and I have one light I’d like to replace too…I’ll wait on that one. Thanks for the videos and anticipating Phase II!

[@MamasGotKids]

I spent 6 years living in Europe. Things like couches and beds move in and out of windows there all the time! 😂

[@EverythingRVbyPat]

Ok, I have a question for you. What are your plans to keep the cushions from falling forward into the slides during travel and securing the couch to the floor? I have had a bit of a problem with our couch sliding forward as the attachments to the floor have pulled out over time. One thing you will have to add to your check list is to push the couch back and put the pillows back before moving the slides out. Love watching your channel. You are both awesome people. Pat

Love it all! You are so lucky to have such a great helper! I love the natural as well. But agree paint cabinets.

[@sherbertandjc]

Things are definitely looking great! I am glad you said you will be painting the cabinets, they are just not a match anymore with the lovely natural wood you have added. May I make one other suggestion I believe if you could add a narrow natural wood trim around the windows, it would then be very custom and more house like, instead of rv-window-looking. It would not block your views if it just covered the existing frame. Just a suggestion. Either way things are looking awesome. Love the sofa.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]
