You, Me & the RV
You me and the RV
One of the first things we did with our fifth wheel was to remove a sleeper sofa in the living area, and replace it with a desk, so each of us has our own work space, in opposing slides. We didn't even worry about it reducing the value of the rig. As with yours, if someone buys this and wants a sleeper sofa there, they can do that. It's no big deal. It makes sense (to me, anyway) for you to do whatever you want to make your rig work better for you, and not worry about resale unless it's something really major and irreversible. I'm happy to hear that Phil's knee is healed.
My wife and I remodeled our Travel Trailer and it looks like home not a stuffy RV. Go a head and remodel your Coach just the way you want it, it looks beautiful... Every change is definitely y'all!
I like all your MODS for your Class "A" - I believe we should make our RV's, how we like it! After all - it's our home! Thanks for sharing!
Helpful tip for you guys. Put electrical tape across the terminals of the 9 volt batterys. They are easily shorted and can start a fire. I saw one in your battery bin unprotected.
I have that attitude with all my renovations - it's my home, and someone else will like it, anyway, because it's good 😉
Stacy! You go girl! Looks like you have been working out while Phil is recovering. I love your haircut. So beautiful. I keep trying to get those layers, but don't seem to be able to communicate with my hairdresser. I will show her your video! Phil, you barely have a scar. I remember my Dads back in the 80's was long. Enjoy your next adventure.
Great video!! I am 7 years into my new rt knee!! Best thing I ever did!! Gave me mobility freedom back!! It just keeps getting better!! Love watching and learning from you guys!! Headed over to look at shirts now!!
That is awesome!
Very happy to see you are getting back out. Phil, don’t make the mistake that I do with TKR - get out of the driver seat and walk more than you think (or it ‘will’ get stiff and sore)…. Semper Fi
We removed our couch and replaced with recliners. Making the rig feel like your home is more important than future salability.
OMG, the little hands!!! And I saw one in a specific shape, telling me my fellow sailors play the game!!!
😂
I am so glad to hear you are feeling better...I'm also happy to see another awesome video...be safe out there....
Good to have you back on the road! Not to change the subject BUT... We are at Dunn Creek COE with 14 days free camping. Beautiful sight next to the Kootenai river. Has water access, vault toilet and dompsters. No dump station. 15 miles North of Libby Mt on MT 37. Mile marker 15 then immediate left down asphalt drive. Almost one lane nut it's not busy. Trees or open for solar. Thanx
The shoe storage idea is awesome. If you cut the bottom half of Phil's shirts off you can get like three more layers of shoe storage. I'll be waiting for that video.
Think he will notice??
Thank you sooooo very much for providing the links for organization containers. The process of finding those items would have taken hours. I still am not efficiently using the height in our cupboards. A work in progress. Thank you so much.
You're talking about trade-in value... I'm 56 years old and all my life have lived with the thought of 'stock' is best. I keep NOTHING in my cars. OCD clean I guess. However, when we traded in our last camper for a new one, the salesguy didn't even look at our camper. He quoted a price and that was it! He didn't care what was inside. So, I let my wife have her way with decorating the new one. I'm trying out a new philosiphy. I won't let her 'ruin' anything, but changes are for US, not the next owner! You made the correct call on the couch, but you already know that. Thanks for the storage points.
Thanks for bringing us along!
Thank you for the tip on the shoe organizer. We have been looking around, and this one fits the bill perfectly. We also used your link.
Since I live in Texas I feel your pain. So over the heat!! Headed over to Home Edit now.
I just fiinished watching your latest. Mucho great ideas!! We need to watch it again! Thank you!! Life made easier.....
I swapped out our recliners for a lift chair and live seat. Although we haven’t had them move in 4000 miles, I screwed down pvc caps and the feet sit down on the caps. If we even want to move them we just pick them up out of the caps.
Love the storage tips. Didn't know Phil had knee surgery. Glad he seems to be doing well. Seems we have missed a video or too. Lynn and Danny
Great tips and tricks that we will be using. Best wishes on your new travels. We will be following along. Many thanks!
Thank you both for the organizing tips.
I think you need to paint the walls. Phil is the best RV painter in the business 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Make SURE the 9 Volt batteries are covered with the plastic plugs that come on a lot of them, or the plastic that covers the terminals when new. Minimally put electrical tape over them. You won't believe how many fires have been started by shorting the top posts. Jayman...
So excited to see your new adventures.
Absolutely love the Glamping shirt! We fully admit it's getting pretty comfortable camping in our rig with all of the upgrades! Roughing it smoothly! 😉
YES
Glad that Phil has healed and y'all are ready to hit the road again. Great tips, the clear containers do really make a difference. My biggest challenge is purging what needs to be purged instead of organizing more than is needed. Thanks!
Thanks 👍
LOVE IT! Glad the surgery on theme we went well. Love the shoe organizers and super tack! Fun video y’all. Safe travels
Rob & I ate so happy for our besties! It looks amazing in there. Great job! Enjoy your travels, stay in touch and stay safe. We love you both.
Thanks friend!! Miss you guys. Cant wait for our next adventure together.
Stacy, your hair is very cute! Phil, your knee seems to be doing amazingly well!
Thanks for so many organizational options!! Oh, also loving the new retail options!
Thank you!
Enjoyed the video. Good luck on your East Coast adventure this summer!
Great information and very timely. It is great to see you guys getting back on the road. Once we get back to our home base later this year, we plan to reorganize the RV in preparation for our adventure to Alaska in 2023. Having the right things on-board and organized is going to be really important as we leave some of ease of being in higher populated locations.
I love the family time in this video. I know it's cleaning, but it is so precious. You are a great mom! Those kids are truly blessed to have you and Alex. They will remember these times and pass it on to their kids.
Umm yeah.....I think you posted this on the wrong video. 😉
Glad to hear the knee is doing well, I had bi-lateral TKR in 2019, both work well, but I still get that morning stiffness.
Like the window treatments too!
Your new knee looks great! I was 4 months PO from a TKR when I headed out on my first RV trip of the season. The first couple of weeks on the road were dicey, with a lot of icing and elevating at the end of the day, but then, I’m 72 and traveling solo. Still, it felt SO GOOD to be able to get back out! Happy travels!
That is awesome!
Valuable storage tips. Thanks. Phil, glad you got your knee done. Hope it went as well for you as mine did. Keep up the exercise and stretching. Travel safe.
Phil, I also second the comments about your knee replacement. I would love to see a video about your expirience. It would definitely help me in the future. Is it really a three month rehab? Thanks, Darin
I love all of the clear storage!! ❤️👍
Hi Folks, I’ve been following you guys for over a year now, and really enjoy your videos. BTW - I have an 02 F350 SuperDuty named Ruby! Anyway the main reason I’m writing is because while I was watching the video I noticed the battery drawer had loose batteries in it. Most batteries are fine to be loose in a drawer, but not a good idea with 9 volt batteries. With both terminals on the same end, a random paper clip, or something similar could short out the terminals, and heat up enough to cause a problem. Always a good practice to keep 9 volts in the original package until in use. Hope you find this helpful. Safe Travels….
Thanks for the reminder!
Thank so much! We are going from part time to full time in September. I realized I had to rethink our space. This couldn’t have come at a better time. Phil you are looking great! I bet you are glad you finally did the knee surgery! Take care and don’t over do it.
Nice to see Phil w/o his knee brace. Hoping he's walking, sitting, moving relatively pain free? Organizing - this is the reason people in the organization biz get the big bucks! Good luck, have fun, stay safe!
He is getting there.
@@todayissomeday Back to 110%!
Love the glamping shirt. I say that all the time. We don’t camp we glamp.
I binge watched all of the Home Edit episodes. I was so excited to hear that you implemented a lot their ideas for the Rig. I am getting ready to do this at my new house.
Next season I will be doing this in our TT.
Safe travels.
Love it!!
Great video!! I love the changes you made.
Yes
Organizing makes me so happy
Me too!
Great storage ideas.
Thanks for showing the bins...I've been telling my hubby for months that this is how I want to organize our cabinets and I don't think he could visualize it till now!
You are so welcome!
we just bought a new to us 40 ft Holiday Rambler , and have been transferring our stuff from our American Tradition 40 ft , it is hard to believe we packed that much stuff in there , and have been purging for two weeks , between small trips , but we need to purge more
Another great video with so many great tips.
Thanks so much!
All great ideas!
Thanks so much!
Great vid guys. Definitely love all the organization ideas. We have been watching you for a couple of years and definitely appreciate what you do for Vets. I am a 25 year Air Force Recent retiree myself and our son is shipping out for Navy boot camp soon.
Congrats on retirement and for your service! What rate did your son sign up for?
@@todayissomeday His rate will be Seaman Appreciate. He really wanted to work on aircraft but has some eye issues. He is still happy to be in though. I can’t wait to see him graduate!!!
Just so your followers know, Blend jet is also available at Target. I got mine during the Amazon prime days when Target was also having sales. Thanks for the organizing tips!
Great video. We’re still waiting for our Rv to be built but I’m taking in all the organization tips I can so I’m ready for full time Glamping. I will be getting a shirt by the way. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to see ya doing better and ready to get on with it!! don't overdo it but let's roll!!! stay safe
We are getting the heck out of Texas and this heat tomorrow as well!
Love the Dudes!
Great storage ideas
Phil , had my left hip totally replaced last November 25th....... it's so much better but....... if I step wrong, twist wrong, lift wrong...... It let's me know it's not 100% yet!! I'm 62 this September.... it takes time hoss, it takes time... Remember slow is smooth and smooth is fast!!
So glad to hear & see Phil's knee replacement surgery went well and you guys are able to get back to what you love to do (and we love coming along!)! Just a word to the wise, which I know Phil already knows, but Phil being Phil ... Knee & shoulder surgeries have the longest recovery times so DON'T PUSH IT !!!! ;-) Hugs to both of you from Irina & me and the furries. Can't wait to see you "On the road again!!!"
Glad you guys are back at it SAFE TRAVELS 🙏
Thanks for the great tips and great ideas. Have fun being on the road again!
Hey we are in the middle of an RV departure. Taking down starlink the ham radio antenna and everything else. It's a real dog and pony show.
Did you get a new RV?? You are going to have to text us and fill us in
Did you guys receive my text?
so, looking at your map, just butting in a plug next time you get out west, for Oregon , Crater Lake National Park, Diamond Lake Camping, all kinds, about 10 miles from Crater Lake, and hwy 101 from Brookings in the south to Astoria in the north. has been written up as top 10 Rv road trip, could add motorcycle trips too. Brookings south into northern California, gets you into the Redwoods. ya know, next time your out that way.
Thanks Dave! :)
That little spot in the corner looks like a perfect place for a small, skinny Christmas tree…..or at least that is how my mind works…
Yup! We had one there last year.
I love the new couch and sconces AND the new shirts! I’ll be checking out Home Edit as well because I love to organize! Another great video!❤️❤️
You will get sucked in!! Happy organizing!
Thank you so much for the organizational info. It is something I’m struggling with in our trailer. The tips were so helpful. Looking forward to better using the limited space.
Your RV is beautiful! I really love all your updates. Safe travels.
I love the new shirts! I also enjoy shopping so I think I will be checking it all out! Thanks for sharing all the great organizing tips.
Hi guys - Great video. Love all the new organizations you have made (clear containers who knew). Larry has reorganized our bays at least 4 times since we started full time in late 2018 and still modifies as he thinks is needed 🤣😂. I wish we were ready to get back on the road, but we will be here a few more months. Looking forward to the 50th anniversary of Ballon Fiesta. Safe travels 😊❤️🇺🇸
That will be a great trip!
Great info. I painted inside our TT and it really lightened everything up.
Love your haircut/color Stacy. 🥰
Thanks!
Love your haircut Stacy - congrats on finding a good stylist while on the road :)
Happy Camping
Thank you!! 😊
Keep up with your pt exercises. I had both knees done in '03 at the same time. Not a good experience. They said they would last 10 years. In '18 and '19 I had them done again. They first ones fell apart. Ladders are not your friends. Avoid them, or going up lead with the good leg and down is the opposite. Good luck.
I love all the organizing tips! Thanks!
Enjoyed the acrylic bin ideas! 🖖🏻😘👍🏻🙏🏻
Great video and info, good luck repacking 🙂 Safe travels
I love the home edit! Our camper is in the shop and I can’t wait to get it back so I can measure and organize, and of course hit the road!
I like it! I have that blender too.
Great video, too bad my wife disagrees with Stacey about getting rid of stuff, we find room. I have a tip for Phil regarding his knee, I bought construction knee pads and put gel pads in, that way I can put weight on the knee. Wish you all the best, safe travels.
Thanks for sharing!
Clear bins are a must , wish I'd heard that tip before we bought about 5 large none see through ones i have to drag out and rummage through every time. We went with a label maker , but those fall off half the time.
I like the new couch a lot better. We're taking ours out and putting lazy boys
My worst area is Tupperware type containers. It holds them all but it’s a mess. One day I will try to fix it LOL
Glad your knee is good to go, Phil. I know that was a rough recovery to go through.
Thanks for another helpful video. I really appreciate all your tips, hacks and suggestions. By the way, if it matters, I'm calling heads---Carolina. 😉
LOL.....Glad it was helpful!
Looks like Phil is doing fine after the surgery.
cute tees.. and love the tables!! NICE JOB!!
Thanks so much!
Love the hey dudes shoes,I think I have him beat,I own about 25 pairs,absolutely love them…
Yall are so amazing . I'm going to look for those containers too.
I have them all here for you: todayissomeday.net/gear-rv-organization
Personal pet peeve for us is storage of 9V batteries. The exposed side-by-side terminals are a fire hazard, so please insulate the terminal posts!
Great to see you guys getting back on the road. Where are you headed? We are still in the North East. Today in western NY near Chautauqua lake. You should see this area.
Headed for cooler weather!! Whoop Whoop
blender is also found a Bed Bath & Beyond.
Great tips guys. Living in an RV or trailer is a bit different from a "normal" home.
Anyplace where space can be conserved and consolidated is a necessity.
Much like I assume living aboard ship. Yall should be used to that.
Glad to see Phil is recouped and raring to go. L[owing forward to the next set of adventures.
Stay safe, be careful and go with God.
the blend jet are at meijer department stores. I saw them in Fort Gratiot MI. For those who are not from Michigan, Gratiot is pronounced ( grass shit ) say it as one word.
Awesome! Thanks for the update. It was only online when I got mine.
Careful with batteries, there is a reason the blister pack they are sold in is the way it is. All positive going the same way, don’t have any touching each other.
Positive all face the same direction. Thanks for the reminder though!
Hi guys hope all is good
Great video and a lot of great info. Phil looks like he is getting around great after knee replacement. :)
Great organizational tips! I would caution, though, that you need to be aware of not exceeding your specific RV's cargo carrying capacity. To be fair, that usually isn't much of a problem with those RVers that own DPs but for some of us gas coach owners, it can be a balancing act. Like one of our camping buddies has often stated, "Just because you can make it fit doesn't mean it should make the trip!"
True Story!! We are well below our capacity! And ditching that couch opened up more lbs!
Directions from San Diego to your TX hairdresser, please. 👍 😁 Lovely life for many more years 🙏
😂
I see you have the reflectix in your cabinets. Can you do a video on the effectiveness of that mod? I saw a video that this one lady pulled her reflectix down after winter and she had a little surface mold growing on the wall. I was just getting ready to do my RV till i saw the one video. Now I’m planning on using Coroplast between the wall and reflectix.
