    Pro Tip: If there's a theatrical supply house that sells lighting or a music store that caters to working bands (like Guitar Center or Sam Ash?) who carry their own lighting gear, you can get "gels" for filtering lighting in a bazillion different shades & colors for reducing the intensity of your LED lighting - my target is 3800°K-4000°K color temperature. Rosco and Lee are the two major gel makers on the planet; you can't go wrong with either. (Plus it's just fun to call someone up and ask if they'll sell you a "half-sheet of Rosco Bastard Amber.")

    I haven't watched yet, but can see who's sponsoring and: OH MY GOSH! We got our Brooklyn Bedding Mattress in before Memorial Day and had it for the 4-day camping weekend. Without question, you were RIGHT again! That mattress is amazing, man. Seriously. Made sure to tell them the reference came from RVTT. So good that I told my buddy about it, and he and his wife also bought one and were blown away at how nice it is (and how much it expands!).

    Great video, your channel has so much very informative content. I have placed an order for a RV, and have been watching all kinds of content to try to learn everything I can. Your channel seems to have some of the most detailed information, thank you.
    I have a high end mattress at home, and I am a huge fan of good mattresses. My RV (I don't have it yet) is going to be a travel trailer on the smaller size (17ft). Not of a size that supports a "mattress" unfortunately. The main bed is an area that doubles as a dining area, and the "mattress" is the pillows from the dining area being arranged in a mattress form factor. There is one upper bunk in it that has a one piece mattress, but there are thickness limitations there (it folds up for travel and when not in use). I may decide on putting a mattress topper on it once I get it and test it out.
    I am definitely going to bring a shower head and light filter with me when I go to pick up my trailer.

      Macfady, sure buy all new lights, remove the all housings instead of the lens, rewire and solder all the new lights in, make adjustments so they fit because whatever cheap lights your referencing probably aren’t the same size or mounting style, and spend more money and time in the process. Sounds like a great alternative. Clown.

    I'm also interested in the furniture idea: how did you bolt down your new loveseat? We have a similar sized one from the manufacturer and I'd love to replace it with something like you have there.

    • @RVTIPSANDTRAVELS
      @RVTIPSANDTRAVELS  Před měsícem +1

      I just used a few heavy duty threaded bolts that went through the bottom of the framing into the plywood floor on the slide. to access the framing i just reclined the seats and went in from the front. i only put 2 or 3 bolts in... just enough to keep it from moving. you dont need a lot to keep it in place. you also need to make sure your bolts or screws dont penetrate through the floor or even poke through its on a slide. measure carefully and use the right bolts.

    • @jacquetaylor2714

      FYI, we've had our loveseat like yours for 2 years and traveled all across the USA. We didn't bolt it down,we slid it back to the wall to travel. We then pull it out so we can extend the leg support and lay it flat. It never moves out of place.

    It figures. I just ordered replacement furniture (cloth this time!) from RecPro for my rv last Friday. My kids purchased furniture from a local low cost furniture store and their furniture material peeled just like my rv furniture. So I had no confidence in low cost furniture stores and went with cloth this time. Furniture is very expensive (as well as everything else) in CA. A friend of mine riding on an Amtrak through LA today sent me a picture of their fuel prices, $7.79 a gallon for regular. We pay a premium for great weather.

    The slide out drawers shown look really handy, but by the look of it they do seem to sacrifice some cupboard real estate between the drawer and the side of the cabinet and possibly under the drawer. They’re also really expensive and wonder if there is a more affordable (non-stainless steel?) alternative. Doing this for multiple cabinets would really add up. Great tip, though.

    Agree on TPMS, disagree on Tire Minder. My experience was terrible with that hot mess. First unit was difficult to pair, but I did eventually get it done. The display lasted less than 3 months before becoming so dim in was unreadable. To their credit, Valterra did replace it without fuss, then the pairing of transmitters to the new display was again, just not smooth. The second unit from day one, after about an hour on the road, first, one tire would alert for temp and pressure. Then another, eventually, all 6 were showing high temp. A power on/power off would reset everything back to normal, and the process would start all over again. It simply was not a product I could depend on.

      sorry to hear that... if you still have the system I would be more than happy to help you get the problem figured out. I personally have not had any pairing issues, but I've heard of pairing problems with every single TPMS manufacturer at one point or another. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help, they are a channel sponsor so I can get you to the right people quickly.

    I don't know if you covered this in prior videos. What do you use for yellowing or dirty shower skylight? I've used a mild soap with no change to the plastic on the outside. Some people say a car headlight restorer or just change it to a darker one. Not going to change a non leaking skylight for a darker one. Thanks for the info.

      Not sure if it will work on the skylight but it works on headlights; OFF bug spray in the green can. Obviously spray it on the outside.

    We have the same shower head, and it's been worth every penny! We also upgraded our master bed mattress with a real pillow top mattress (wrestled it in and swore it was never coming out!). Then we upgraded our bunk mattresses with a 10 inch memory foam mattress from Amazon (we had clipped corners, so I was able to trim the mattress with a bread knife) worked perfect and I only paid $189 ea. And they are so compfy compared to the chinsy 3 inch teddy bear mattress the camper came with. Why don't tbose manufacturers just put the better equipment in and charge a little more? Kinda ridiculous!

Maybe they pop off with something like a screwdriver but I’m not confident enough to do that without knowing if that will work or might damage the shield.

    • @RVTIPSANDTRAVELS
      @RVTIPSANDTRAVELS  Před měsícem +5

      There’s nobody in the market making good thermostats. So while micro air may be a little on the higher side vs a home thermostat, there’s a lot of expense behind designing these to work with RV AC’s. Plus the micro air thermostats work flawlessly, it’s a top of the line product… it’s going to cost more. In my opinion, it’s well worth the 1 time cost.

      Its definitely not a cheap thermostat, but its the best, its built to be easily installed, and has a lot of R&D behind it to work with the many different AC's available on RV's. I would like to see them get the price down a bit too.

      minimum $400 or more to do the same thing you can do for $20. I don't even think they make 4000K led replacement fixtures, and if they do, they definitely wont be available for the hundreds of different models of RV's on the road. So you're spending a ton more money and will probably have to retrofit them into your roof, PLUS wire them. No thanks!
