i'm a full timer 16 years. got a M-318 with same shower. Clean water spots off shower head then lightly spray BOESHIELD T-9 & wipe off with shop towel, let dry overnight. no water spots for 2 months!
The husband is drooling over this TPMS option. Which means we spend more money..THANKS GUYS! 😂
Better to spend money on a TPMS system than deal with a blowout & damage to the rig.
Our RV is on a permanent spot, and I have no complaints about our showerhead, but I love watching these just for Chads testing! lol
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with our HOPOPRO shower head on your social media! We are thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the product and finding it to be a valuable addition to your daily routine.
Your support means the world to us, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to spread the word about our showerhead. We look forward to serving you again in the future. Thanks!
Tpms is wonderful. I noticed that I had 1 tire that the temp was going up. I was fortunate enough to be able to limp into town. Disgruntled worker did not pack my wheel bearings properly. Long story short, I had to replace my axle but never lost my tire nor any other detrimental happenings. I do watch it and always have thanks to y'all as I have watched you for 4 years!
Good afternoon, guys. Good to see Miss Daisy was high on the priority list. Personally, I would prefer the carpet on my paws as well.
Your TPMS was about as simple as it could be, almost idiot proof.
I really liked the cabinet in the multi use room. That was a very good idea, looks good there. Chad you get points for good craftsmanship, and Tara, you get double points for good supervisory skills.
Great to see ya'll making this rig "yours."
You should have many videos ahead. Can't wait to see them as well as see ya back on the road.
God bless ya, guys. Be safe on the road during your travels. Ya'll have a blessed day.
Great video, took notes all through it. Glad to see the whole family today. Thanks again for the invite, much appreciated.
The little things sometimes can be the best and most convenient for us!
Daisy's a Sweet Baby👍🇺🇲
Years ago, we replaced a shower head in a house, and the new one was fantastic! It claimed something like 0.7 gpm, had a very "hard" spray, and included a soaping valve. I'm not sure where we bought it, but when it came time to sell that house, we didn't think it would be hard to replace, didn't even consider taking it with us. Big mistake. At our next couple of houses, we tried various replacements from Homeless Despot or Blowes, but nothing was nearly as good as that one. Now, with the fiver, it would be even more valuable to us, though it's nice that the showerhead that came with the rig is handheld. It was clearly meant for residential application, with a higher pressure and no real concern about flow.
Our TPMS (TST) works just fine for the trailer, though at times it will stop getting a signal for one or another tire. The TST people kindly provided me with an additional signal booster, so all I have to do is find a good place to mount it, and provide it 12 VDC, and that problem should be solved. Given how long it's been since they gave me the booster, and the fact that I haven't done it yet, I have to assume it won't happen for a while. Unfortunately, the trailer and truck (2019 Ram) use incompatible TPMS, so even though the TST unit would easily display the truck and trailer tires all at once, we have to use the truck's own TPMS, which has no temperature readings. So far, the only good either system has done for us is give us peace of mind. We never bothered with the provided mounting for the TST display. We just put it where a cell phone could go, in the center console, on the passenger side. It's not really secured in any sense, but so far hasn't fallen out. I do use the suction cup mount for our trailer camera display (we really only use for rear-view), and that has failed a couple of times. I'm thinking of maybe doing some sort of screw-in mount to the dash, probably to the recessed area where the Powerlet socket is.
Thanks for the video, and I look forward to the full walk-through. We used to both watch a lot of RV-related YT channels, but mostly stopped when we went fully mobile ourselves. Yours is one of the few RV-related channels I still check in on, and have subscribed to on my alternate account (this one) as well as the one the two of us use on the TV.
New TPMS program is huge improvement!
Lordy, I wish I had y'alls imagination. More great ideas executed to perfection. Keep on keeping on.
Love the upgrades guy. They are small but all needed and very functional. Love the shower head matches the bathroom lol
The little box you put inside the cupboard to hide the wires, perhaps a walk through the pluming section and find a square piece of 90 degree downpipe from the roof of a house would look tidy
Good projects. One thing I stay very aware of is to eliminate sharp corners on ... anything! As we get older, we find that we can get bloodied by the most innocuous things, even a square shower head!
Thank you so much!!! Our shower is the same!
I like when you guy's have videos like this, good stuff
Chad - why not just get some matching Azdel tape from Grand Design to cover the hole where the panel was before the garage cabinet? You can overlap 3 sides and run it up next to the grey box covering wires. Boom, done!
So much great information!
Just installed the Hopopro shower head in my Solitude. Thanks for the excellent suggestion, it's great!
Great video, I love what you’ve done.
great video, i actually feel like i do not have to go see one in person now..... the only neg comment i would say(for me) is; DO NOT ever say "they" are giving you toooooo much space/storage, I know you might have some addl space you are not using but in my 45 years of camping I can tell you that "space" is ALWAYS needed for something, sometime.... wish I had cool neighbors like y'all that share the same interest, am looking at this model now so who knows? happy travels!!! 🤠
Perfect ❤ Can't wait for the tour 😊 Safe Travels ❤️🤍💙
I like your videos. For the hole left over in the new storage cupboard after you moved the controller. Grand Design on their parts web page has peel and stick wallpaper that will match your color schema. They sell it by the foot and it comes in widths from 3/4 inch to maybe 36-48 inches. It's very handy for covering holes so they aren't visible.
Hey y’all, thanks so much for your reviews of these cool products. I especially love the Waggle 💕…we have to protect our fur babies. Daisy is just adorable…….Lisa
As always, some really good ideas - I love the magnetic locks for the cabinets, and have to admit I would have never thought about them for that usage.
Chad, love the mounting of the storage cabinet. How did you locate the studs? I will be adding a kind of Murphy bed type of work space with storage containers. What I mean by Murphy bed type is the work platform will fold down to give you the work table and when not in use will fold up and secure all of the little storage boxes in place. Thanks for such great videos. Oh yea I’m doing the mods to a 397.
If you want to finish the ends of the desks, go to Lowes and buy an End Cap set. They should be near the countertops. With any luck, you can match them up. And if you REGISTER (hint, hint, lol) with the V.A., and then Lowes, you can get a discount!
Love the cabinet in garage, great job installing it Chad! Can't wait to see full tour.
This was so much fun to watch. “Perfecting” a new home is exciting. Great to see little Daisy running around too.
I had an issue with my TPMS system. I spoke to the manufacturer and I believe he told me that you should not keep it hooked up permanently. Instead you should treat it like a cellphone. Charge it and then let it work off the battery for a while. At least that's my recollection.
As usual, some great upgrades!
We use the same TPMS on our little Geo Pro and love it.
You two are great, I always learn so much. I may not be quite as handy as you, but I always get good ideas
Nice to see all three of you doing well. That is a beautiful home. In the next 5 years Chad should get everything changed how you want for your next model. lol.. Stay safe and healthy.
LOL that sounds about right! His list never ends 😜
That TPMS look awesome, I hate my current one, hard to program and constantly losing connections, didn’t like my old one either. I will definitely be looking to get one. Thanks for all the ideas!
Excellent video. Love your channel.
That shower head is awesome. We were looking for a replacement on ours as well. Also took the flow restrictor out of it. Works great. Thanks for sharing!
A lot of good ideas.
Awesome video, love the cabinet.
Great Video and Great Projects!
Great episode. We are getting ready for a camping trip and I am always interested in storage hints and helps.
Love that cabinet!! We may do the same thing!!😊
Chad, you do an excellent job of researching and testing products, and presenting your results. Thank You TP
We were also inspired by 1StrangeAdventure and built a cabinet in the garage. Also made it a tool chest. Best mod we have done by far.
I love your scientific approach to all of your analysis of products. Today was the measuring of the shower heads and the results. Also, don't forget to add the childproof locks to your check list before you move. That fryer could be a catastrophe.
Thanks,
Don
Yea.... we don't need an Air Fryer hitting the motorcycle! 😳
Great! Clever fixes.
Did you consider the TPMS integration to the truck? I use it on my '22 F350, and it works very well. In fact, It alerted me a few weeks ago to a slow "leak", that we now know was due to a mfg defect in the trailer wheel. Wheel paint held the pressure for several thousand miles, but it eventually started seeping out.
PS, the airflow and silencer product are freaking awesome! DRAMATIC difference in sound levels.
Love the video's!! One point to make about the shower head. You are not increasing the pressure, you are increasing the velocity. Doesn't matter if you are working off the pump or city water, the pressure you get from the source will be whatever it is. You are increasing the velocity by pushing that pressure thru a smaller oriface.
Doesn't higher velocity mean higher pressure when it hits the subject? That's the pressure to which I'm referring... Not the pressure in the plumbing.
Excellent 👌
Thanks guys! - Always great to watch your vids - especially with RV time coming alive here in Eastern Canada! - Cheers!
Woohoo! Time to hit the road! Safe travels 😃
is the drawers of the storage cabinet large enough to be used for file folders?
Awesome video again. ❤
Great video as usual, Really like the storage in the garage, we will have to take your stolen idea as well. When are you going to do the airhorn on the truck? 😄
Thanks!
Thank you, Cap! 😊
I'm really excited to see the desk setup! I saw a recent poll that over 50% of rvers work from the road, yet rv makers continue to neglect putting desk and workspace into the layouts!
I don't want to get a toy hauler just to MacGyver some desks, but adding some flip up deskspace along the walls will probably be the route we take.
BTW I have the 507 it came with my primetime 395bhl. I had to call tst and they walked me through it it on the phone. Otherwise it was a pita
Chad, if you send me some dimensions for the area in the garage cabinet that the wires come through, i can 3D print you a nice white cover that will cover everything and look a lot cleaner than that hacked up junction box.
Love the new 410! Taking your advice and inspiration I am currently at the Nrvta starting my fourth week of advanced training! And just wanted to let you know your video is what got me headed in this direction! Thank you and keep up the good work!
Awesome! I hope you're enjoying the classes! Tell Todd we said HI!
@@ChangingLanes I will tell him, it is a lot of information but I am enjoying it
@@ChangingLanes Todd says hello!
I have an 2019 F250. It has the tire pressure indicator. I have the tst507 for the RV I recently had a blowout on the truck rear driver side. Watching this video I’m wondering if I had sensors on the truck tire I may have avoided the problem. I monitor the tire pressure before I put the truck in drive. The pressures were good on all tires. Your thoughts
Great video guys!! Question for you. How do I figure out what hi/low temperature/pressure to set for my tires on this device? I set my tires for the max cold pressure using a tire air gauge before every trip
Doesn't Lucille feel left out without her own TPMS sensors? I like how excited Tara gets about things you do to the RV. I guess that's one of the reasons that Chad married her, she's easy to please. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
LOL I do get excited about storage stuff! 🤣 Lucille has her own built-in TPMS 😜
On the tire pressure monitor, can you add as many tires as you have or do you need special one for so many tires?
So what about the "One Wheel"? Who is riding, where are you storing it during travel? I have a VESC remodel version and I love it. I just noticed the one wheel sitting near the steps and was curious. Love the new digs, can't wait for the full tour.
Chad rides it around the campgrounds we stay in. We now store it in our basement storage compartment, since we have so much space in there! 😁
How did you determine what the high temperature should be for your tire sensor?
@Changing Lanes: Do you have a video on how to wire the monitor to the truck dash?
very cool mods, can't wait to see complete video of your 410. Now that you have home base, have you ever thought of doing video what do to close your cabin up before you go on long trip.
We have discussed it and probably will share that process in the future, but we still haven't gotten the hang of it yet 😂 It is still taking us too long to get packed up Lol
Dangit chad, now I want the new monitor for my TST sensors!! I didn't like any of the glass mounts either, so I bought trackform mount for the old style monitor. With your Internet 4.0 install, did you consider the RV Whisper? I use it since it requires the same 4g/5g connection as the waggle and internet as the govee and Waggle. Been using ours a year and love the integration.
why not use the capability on your ford truck to monitor trailer tire pressure? On a side note, we had a trailer wheel with a mfg defect that developed a slow leak that manifested itself an hour into our days travel after several thousand miles without an issue. Caught it before the tire suffered any damage
Quick question, love the office setup you installed but what did you do to secure the computer equipment when traveling. I would like to do a similar setup?
The monitors are mounted using this: gear.changinglanesrv.com/product/vari-single-monitor-arm/
The rest (UPS, dock, etc) is held down with these: amzn.to/3DEKh2P

That's awesome thank you. My wife and I love the work area. We work remotely and this will enhance our space.
Ever think about adding trailer 3 and putting them on the bike?
The bike has a built in TPMS. 👍🏼
Menards sells the finished counter tops very low cost but good quality.
Many of Menards counter tops are made in Portage WI.
We all need a Chad.
Excellent video. What made you not choose the TPMS that works through the truck?
The Ford TPMS system (for trailers) is way overcomplicated the last time I looked into it. And, I don't think it monitors temperature.
Hi Chad. I know you didn’t talk about this in this video but I know you talked about these storage solutions in another video but I can’t find it. It’s about those sliding storage out of the base. Could you tell me where to get that? Thanks.
Great video as always. Do you recommend the flow through TPMS sensors?
Only if you have metal valve stems.
Any thoughts on the crossfire tire equalization system or the centramatic wheel balances. I found some that I can still use my tpms to monitor the dually tires individually but equalize the pressure. Thanks and another great video.
We do have centramatics and they're great... Haven't use the crossfire, but they seem interesting.
The Crossfire equalizers are great I had them on my semi truck mounting them to a dually pickup is not that easy. The Centramatic balancers are great I have them on my 2022 Ford F-450 if you have good hearing at low speed like going through a parking lot you can hear the balancing media moving inside the channel.
@@ChangingLanes We run centramatics on the truck and I love umm!!! Ran across a guy with a triple axle 5ver similar to our triple axle one, he has centramatics his and swears by them…Chad’s thoughts🤔🤔🤔
I like your information on the TPMS. I have a 2021 F150 that has a Ford built in TPMS. Do you know if you can add the TST tire monitors on the valve stems in addition to the Ford's stock TPMS? I use the 507 on my travel trailer currently. Thank you!
Yes... we did that on our F350 also.. 👍🏼
@@ChangingLanes Thank you!
Magnetic locks where were those purchased? TIA love the office setup
These are the ones we used: Dreambaby Adhesive Mag Locks: amzn.to/3VgxcEN
Chad FYI a company called Bullet Point makes all kinds of mounts for phones and other items but the window mount they use is really strong just my two cents
Can you please give me more information on the magnetic child safety locks that you used for your storage cabinet? That may be just what we are looking for. thank you. 😄
We used these: Dreambaby Adhesive Mag Locks: amzn.to/3VgxcEN
What brand are your magnetic child safety locks?
My husband’s pick up truck, which is a GMC Sierra, comes with a tire monitoring system, doesn’t Ford’s pick ups come that way?
Where did you get the "desks" from? Are you adding additional supports under them to prevent sag?
We got them from a cabinet shop in Franklin, NC a few years ago. No issues with sag in over 2 years of use.
I see you have the “centromatic” (balance ring) on steer tires. Never seen them on a pickup I’ve seen many times on big trucks and I’ve had them on my big trucks (retired truck driver) how do u like them?
We like them.. we have them on all 4 truck wheels.
My GMC truck already has a TPMS on my truck tires that the tire shops know how to set and reset any time I have the tires serviced or replaced. I only have four travel trailer tires on the ground plus one spare, not six on the ground, plus a spare. Does your after market TPMS have a trailer five tire system that you think would work well as a supplement to the GMC system without there being any signal interference between them?
I don't believe they will integrate with factory TPMS systems.
Chad, I use an older TPMS system that is a pain to set up but we are not full timers. A question I have and haven’t been able to find an answer to is at what temperature do you set your high limit on the unit?
I honestly forget.. But, I followed Eric's advice in his setup video: czcams.com/video/JPv54k7Tr2k/video.html
Do those magnetic locks provide any latching to hold the doors shut when they’re unlocked?
No.. Only when locked in childproof mode. Dreambaby Adhesive Mag Locks: amzn.to/3VgxcEN
I would like to change out the shower wand with one that you can turn off and on that would fit. Any ideas?
Maybe something like this? amzn.to/3nnrtQX
Thank you!
Is rear weight not an issue in a 5th wheel? I know box furniture can be heavy. TT guy and just wondering. Other than that thought - love it!
Its a triple axle toy hauler! 🤣😂
Not like it is with a TT. Our GVWR is 21,000 also, and that cabinet is almost directly over the axles.
@@ChangingLanes thanks - great video. We are trying to find a center console dog seat that will fit our little Havanese because of your videos! 😂😂😂
When did y’all change your desk to the Formica?
It was a couple of years ago in our 397.
Our biggest complaint about our 2 1/2 year old TST tire pressure monitor is that we can't read the screen in the sunlight. Is new TST system brighter than the old model?
We had the shade thing for our 507... This new one is mounted pretty low and doesn't see a lot of direct sunlight. Not sure that it's necessarily better in direct light but the display is certainly bigger and more readable.
I want to put the carpet on the outside steps but worried they will get very dirty. How do you keep them clean?
Go buy some in-door/out-door carpet at a home hardware store, (it’s made to dry fast when it gets wet), go pick up some grommets and a bunch of small bungie cords, easily make your own outside stair carpet n easy to remove and hose it down, dries completely in the sun in a couple hours. 🍻
The RugUp step covers are actually designed to be removed and reattached. We are able to take them off, wash them and put them back on. 😄gear.changinglanesrv.com/?s=steps&post_type=product&type_aws=true&aws_id=1&aws_filter=1
Would like info on the garage storage cabinet
All details and links are in the description... here's the one for the cabinet:
SystemBuild Kendall 2 Door/2 Drawer Storage Cabinet: gear.changinglanesrv.com/product/kendall-storage-cabinet/
Sorry I looked and didn’t see. Was wondering because I also have a 410th
What's the load range and how many ply tires are those Coopers? I have faith in Coopers. Will be surprised if you have a blowout.
I believe they are H rated.. they seem to be very good tires.
What breed of do is Daisy? She's exactly what I want
Dog not do
Can I ask Chad a question? I talked to both TPMS companies and asked them why do they not have a monitor that would show both temp and psi for all tires at once. They said they put what the customer wanted for the current monitors. Do you feel the monitor I am asking for is feasible and if so maybe you could talk to these companies and suggest it, please. I, Rick, drive a motorhome and sometimes don’t want to want to have to reach over to the TPMS because it might be unsafe.
12 tires temp and pressure all at once would just be too much info on one screen, IMO. If one tire goes out of range on temp or pressure, that tire becomes the active one in the display...
@@ChangingLanes thank you for your honesty
How does those sensors effect tire ballance?
They don't. they are very light. But we also run centramatcis on all 4 wheels.
Does the closet block the heat vent ?
No.. the furnace heat vents are under the door to the kitchen.
I don't normally correct people speaking but I think you made a mistake. When you hold up the 770 you said it was easy programing the 507. I knew what you meant .timeliness about 345 to 348
