    My 1985 RV came with a great mattress, the 1993 came with a good mattress, the 2019 on the first night, the thought was, why did it even come with a mattress if it was going to be this bad. Should have been an empty platform that we could use our air mattress on until the good mattress we ordered got shipped.

    That being said, we both prefer a firm mattress that is not too tall so this one checks all the boxes.

    Our best upgrade for our Class C mini motorhome was to remove the entire dinette unit and replace it with a La-Z-Boy recliner rocker loveseat unit with a small console between the seats. This change meant that we lost two persons worth of sleeping capacity, and some storage capacity that was built into the base of the dinette, but this RV was intended to be the on the road home for just us. When the inevitable rainy day comes along, and we just want to stay inside the La-Z-Boy chairs are super comfortable to just sit back, relax, and read.

    I had just purchased a Purple mattress for my home bed when things with my roomate went south. I had purchased a used travel trailer with a floor plan I really liked and had parked it in my daughter's backyard to use when I was at her house. After talking to my daughter, son-in-law, I moved into the travel trailer full time, it will never be moved from where it is unless she moves. The mattress has done well both in summer and winter (I'm in TX). I've hooked up the sewer system to her septic tank but still dump the tanks as if at a dump station. Learned the hardway that keeping the traps open causes problems so got that fixed and all is well now. I would like to convert my air unit to a heat/air unit. There is leak somewhere in the propane system and I cannot afford propane for more than cooking on my limited income (retired). I've been using some small space heaters but not able to stay in the rv when temps go below 20 which isn't often but it can. I still have a couple of fixes from the big freeze in 2021 to do and now my fridge isn't cooling enough and some of my outlets aren't working and trying to locate the problem the gfi's are the only ones working. My shower is leaking at the handles only when I use the shower, been using the shower in the house for the time being, can take a longer than a 5 min. hot shower there. I have found that I really enjoy living in my tiny home and my grandson loves to come over and visit anytime he wants to. Installing a baby monitor between the house so it will be easier for his mom to locate him when he sneaks over.

  • @bobanderson413
    @bobanderson413 Před 2 lety +3

    An inside fridge can is always helpful, even if it is one of the little battery operated ones. Circulating air helps cool the food uniformly. But, the fine can still frost over. That is affected more by dampness on your food packaging, the humidity in your rig, and how often you open the door. An outside fan may help when the outside humidity is high, like at the beach in the summer, but your original unit should be more than adequate under most other camping conditions. Keeping all the fins clean on the outside unit is more important. Make sure there are no bees nests or birds nests at bottom and top as well. Sorry, I'm a retired heat transfer engineer!

    Believe it or not, we really like the heated mattress that came with our 2019 Rockwood. This is our 5th Travel Trailer since we started camping in Travel Trailers in the 80's. We replaced the mattress in our last Travel Trailer, a North Trail, after one camping trip. But we have not been moved to do so in our Rockwood, so far.

    Great video!
    Thanks for sharing, funny thing is my wife Tina and I feel our factory mattress is comfortable for us. It is going on year two so we will see this year if it remains firm. Plus I do enjoy that it’s heated and on a cold evening it’s nice to get into a preheated bed.
    Upgrades that we have made include outside hidden storage for all black water hoses, drain fittings and flush hoses.
    I modified a wall hanging oscillating fan, I made a bracket that mounts to it and can slide it into the outside TV bracket. It’s very helpful when it’s hot outside. Another mod was installing the micro air easy start, we love that we can run our ac plugged into our home 15 amp circuit or our Honda Eu2200i generator. We also replaced our thermostat with a digital thermostat, not as high tech as yours but very accurate.
    Thanks
    Tony

    When we sold our house we had a split king Sleep# with the adjustable frame. We couldn't use the frame as the bed had the box which housed the slide motor and accessories, but I was able to use both air mattresses and the pump with the ECU which connects to our WiFi and gives us the ability to adjust firmness and also gives us the sleep score. If you are not familiar with the sleep # this is a great system The ECU is so precise it can tell your heart rate your breath rate, detects when you go to sleep and when you get up if you should get out of bed and when your restless. This info. builds your sleep score and is all on the sleep# app on your phone or tablet. Needless to say we sleep like Babies.

    Talked to you before, did Ben put the fans in for the fridge on the out side and do the only run when the fridge is on gas only or shore power? Certain hot ground setup or does the manufacture have all that . I’m running a battery operated in the fridge and bought a monitor for it as well, covers the freezer and fridge and all I got to do is look at the display. Great watching you guys!

    • @GratefulGlamper
      @GratefulGlamper  Před 2 lety +1

      They are connected to the 12v positive on the outside and run gas and shore power. They only run when the fridge is turned on and run low speed when temp is low and higher when temp is higher. You can also set speeds and turn off/on if you want. I hope it helps!

    Regarding the bed...I absolutely agree! We've had 4 different rvs in our lifetime and every one the mattress was horrible and was one of the 1st thing we replaced. I have a question, you mentioned the great 120 night warranty on BB, how on EARTH did you exchange the mattress? You obviously didn't put it back in the box. lol Our experience with boxed mattresses is that they're VERY heavy and cumbersome. How did the exchange process go? Safe travels, Happy Easter!

    You say you returned the first mattress to get the more firm mattress. I would like to know more about that process (in case we don't like our choice). How did you ship it back? Was it in a box? if so, how did you get it back into the box once it was expanded? Thanks for sharing!

    I've been having a heck of a time finding mattresses for the bunks in our RV. The twin size is 1 inch too wide for the wider bunk, and the smaller bunk is like a cot size. What mattresses do you have on your bunks? I know you built them, but it looked like in another video, that they were fairly thin which is what we need for our bunks.

I still don’t like driving in town or heavy traffic, but don’t mind highway driving at all. I even ended up driving it through Atlanta rush hour.

    I could not live without my vent fans, but I’m disappointed cuz my previous RV has a fan that included a temp setting, so it would turn on automatically if the temp reached a certain temp. I can’t find a fan with that feature … anywhere!! Do they not exist anymore? Other than that, I’m not interested in fans with tons of bells and whistles (ie. remote, lights, etc.), as it’s just more that can fail and there’s nothin worse than all the effort to install new fan only to have the light fail and require replacement of the whole shebang.

    Refrigerators for modern RVs must be pretty wimpy if you have to keep turning it up and down during different seasons.
    The refrigerator in my 1970s travel trailer stayed very constant and I lived in it year-round in temperatures anywhere from 122° in the summer down to 20° below freezing in the winter.
    I also love the fact that those old refrigerators did NOT have circuit boards that go bad and need to be replaced.
