Howdy. We did take the bike rack off we just wouldn't use it at all. I don't think we did many upgrades to the van itself but we made a bunch of changes. We are going on a mini vacation soon I will have to record a video of the van and all of the stuff we added to our camping gear. Our screen seems to be holing out fine. We bought some spray lithium grease and use that ever now and again and so far it has held up.

@@smallcamperbigfun glad to hear the screen is holding up. It is a clean look and a good concept. We were just unlucky with ours

We really love Jordan Lake. It has 3 campgrounds with some amazing water sites. Since we are both retired now we hope to try all of the good water sites. For $33 a night the rates are pretty good as well.

Sorry I just saw this question for some reason. We didn't but you could for sure. Hope this helps.

I'm sure it's more than just us as well :-)

Hey Rich. Sun Outdoors is an amazing place for sure. There are very few places like it. Hope you get down there and enjoy it.

Thanks so much! 😊 Thank you for watching.

Let me see if I can find a link

Max was our first camper a Little Guy Mini Max Teardrop. That's what started our camping adventures. I will get the links to the bins from my wife and reply back as soon as I can. Sorry it took so long to respond

@@smallcamperbigfun Ah, yes, the teardrop trailer. I was looking at those at one point and LOVED a company called inTech. We came close to buying an inTech but my husband and I decided that we really didn’t want to tow. We just wanted to drive and go! We wanted to be able to go anywhere and park everywhere so then came the hunt for Class B option. BTW, what is your experience with the Sequence? I was looking at that model but I’ve heard such negative feedback on Thor.

We don't show the inside of the camper in this video but we do have a video with a tour on our channel. How this helps

Thanks so much this will help for sure

It really is a beautiful spot!

When we tow it we get about half of the gas mileage we normally get with our Honda Pilot. About 12 mpg.

@@smallcamperbigfun thank you very much.

We are camping right now but I will try to find the info. If we can’t find it here I will look at home to see what the name is. I will let you know here in the comments as soon as I find it.

Thanks much…appreciate you getting back to me. Travel safe!

It's the MISSLO Mesh Shower organizer Hanging 15 Pockets Over the Door Bathroom Storage. Here is the link www.amazon.com/dp/B08818Y93G?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_EDNS1YSHQQ23P5PE1R1W. My wife just cut it up to get what you see on the video.

@@smallcamperbigfun Holy cow! That was a quick response and thanks for the Amazon link. I guess we never thought about cutting the organizer down. We really do appreciate the info. This will be helpful as we plan for a 3-4 week excursion in September. Thanks again!!!

You are welcome I'm so glad we could help. Happy travels.

How do you like your Sequence? It will be a little while before we get out again I think. We have had our Blackstone for a while now and love it! It goes with us on every camping trip. Cheers and thanks for watching!

Thanks so much! We are trying to get into the camping and video creation grove once again. Thank you for watching

Bless your heart and thanks so much for the comment!

Sadly we have only been able to take it out one time. We have family obligations that prevent us from getting out at least for the next few months. All RVs well have issues no doubt but we had some repairs done via warranty and we had no issues with Thor approving the repairs I guess that is the best we can hope for.

I am looking for a class b , but online reviews as well as people I see on the road tell me workmanship since 2021 has been subpar. Prices up, quality and service down

@@Desperado3248 I got a Thor Tellaro, it is just fine. Minor 3 minor things, but with any house on wheels it’s never perfect even if you spend more money. Personally found Thor to have best bang for the buck hands down.

It is crazy you spend so much money on RV but you still get issues 🙈🙈🙈

UHG? Sorry I don’t know that acronym

You want to ensure this is working so that if you’re boondocking you don’t find out before it’s too late that your engine will not charge the battery and your stuck getting a little bit from your single solar panel until you can hook up at a RV park or at home

@@smallcamperbigfunWe have the 2022 L with the 200Ah lithium batteries and we can idle less than half an hour and have the batteries up from the high 50 to mid 90%. That’s not running anything but the fridge and lights.

Thanks for that feedback I will move slower in the future!

Not at all. It was around 104,000 which is quite a bit less than sticker but still crazy expensive

Bought mine February 23 and paid the same. Sticker was 134k and sale price was 112k and they accepted 103.99k

Thank you😊

Let me check with my wife. I think she bought some special hangers for the curtain that have alligator like clips but let me confirm that.

@@smallcamperbigfun that would be great if you could, thank you!

Here is what we ordered. www.amazon.com/dp/B07G13DZFC?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_B8RPMAE23XC77QES96RW. The key is to look for a curtain that is designed for Claw Foot tubs they will be long enough and have the small loops at the top. hope this helps if not let me know.

@@smallcamperbigfun yes this is very helpful, thank you so much!

My pleasure

Exciting times! Lena has been hard at work making some changes on the inside. Maxine looks great. We may have to do another video showing what she has done.

I filmed a quick interior update video today. At some point we will move to the outside. We still don’t know if we want to keep the bike rack or not. It’s a nice day today for NC and I won’t get down before freezing tonight but sadly we won’t be taking another quick trip.

I have a storage box on the back of mine. It beeps the 1st time I back up but senses that it’s there and stops. I think it resets every time I turn the van off.

There is a bit of extra room for batteries depending on how well they managed the cables on one side. In the front there is one battery and the propane tank so there is very little extra room there. You may be able to get one more 100w flexible solar panel on the roof. The black tank is pretty small so you will have to figure out a way to manage that. As far as running the A/C right now the way it is the battery won't run the A/C but if you get a soft start and add more powerful batteries you could make that work I believe. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip we will add them to our list! How do you like the r pod? We looked at those too

Hello it’s D&H RV and Marine in Apex NC. Hope this helps.

Thanks so much! This yankee may never get the pronunciation of these lakes right 😁

@@smallcamperbigfun Haha. Absolutely, hope I didn’t come off as a jerk. The lake is named after John H. Kerr, a NC lawyer, mayor, judge and ultimately congressman, who was instrumental in getting the lake built. By the way our extended family started camping at Kimball Point every year in 1957 (10 years before I was born). In the early 80’s we switched to JC Cooper because Kimball Pt. had no electric sites at that time and many of the old-timers had RVs by then. June 2022 marked our 65th consecutive year. Ive only missed 2 years out of my 55 years.

You didn’t come off as a jerk at all. Thanks for correcting me😁
