[0:00]
hey everyone uh it's still early Friday
[0:03]
morning I've just been sitting here
[0:05]
making a list of all the tasks I have to
[0:07]
do there's a lot I'm going to share that
[0:09]
with you in a minute um there's
[0:11]
something I've been meaning to talk
[0:13]
about though and I just keep forgetting
[0:15]
to do it I did briefly talk about it um
[0:19]
but I feel like I didn't
[0:20]
really like I didn't give it the way
[0:23]
that I need to give it so let me just
[0:25]
try that now um so it's been a week I
[0:30]
out my RV wow you know a whole week
[0:34]
Friday
[0:36]
um and it hasn't been fun yet you know
[0:39]
it's sad to say that but it just it
[0:42]
hasn't been fun yet and it's just
[0:44]
because there's so much you have to do
[0:46]
it's just it's a lot of effort and and
[0:49]
adjustments and it's definitely not fun
[0:52]
when it's cold in there it's just so
[0:54]
cold so I just
[0:58]
but I don't like like taking the joy out
[1:01]
of things like I'm super excited about
[1:03]
what I'm
[1:04]
doing and I don't want to be in a
[1:07]
position where where I'm just like
[1:10]
waiting for Joy like that's I don't like
[1:13]
that idea so I need to find ways of
[1:17]
making this an enjoyable process so if
[1:19]
you're like me and you are doing this
[1:22]
soon or now or whatever um and it
[1:25]
doesn't feel fun to
[1:27]
you remind yourself of that and then
[1:29]
find ways to make it fun so for example
[1:32]
there's no reason I shouldn't be playing
[1:33]
music in my RV I'm not doing that which
[1:36]
is just that's just silly I should like
[1:37]
why you know it's my new home I should
[1:41]
just you know I have an Alexa music
[1:44]
thing that I can put in technically the
[1:46]
RV has its own you can connect to the
[1:47]
Bluetooth it's probably fine I just
[1:49]
don't know how to use it yet pointless
[1:51]
oh that's pointless just listen to music
[1:53]
in there um just find ways to make it a
[1:56]
better experience for you but so let's
[1:58]
just get to what what the main point of
[2:00]
this so I'm going to show you my list
[2:03]
here and it's going to grow guys so this
[2:06]
is just what I've got this morning that
[2:09]
I was thinking about and I want to
[2:10]
explain these to you and
[2:13]
why why they're listed this
[2:16]
way so insulating like I'm not going to
[2:20]
get all this done before I'm ready to go
[2:21]
it's just it's not going to happen
[2:24]
so I put down insulating the different
[2:26]
areas a separate task and and here's why
[2:29]
so I know I can insulate the kitchen now
[2:31]
like that's what I'm doing
[2:33]
first um I can't really insulate the
[2:37]
bathroom yet because I don't know how to
[2:40]
safely take
[2:42]
apart the
[2:44]
boards that you know under the sink I I
[2:47]
I just don't know how to do it safely I
[2:49]
think they probably used like little
[2:51]
tiny nails or something to put it
[2:53]
together if I take that apart if I try
[2:55]
to pull that apart I'll probably break
[2:58]
something and I'll never be able to get
[3:00]
it back together so I just I'm not ready
[3:01]
to do that I need to learn
[3:03]
more and in the
[3:06]
bedroom I am almost certain that I can
[3:09]
just get under that bed and insulate a
[3:11]
lot down there I from other videos I've
[3:14]
seen there's a lot to do down there
[3:17]
there is a space between my mattress and
[3:20]
the other piece like the wide board
[3:23]
there that might be there because of the
[3:25]
slide you know so I got to figure all
[3:28]
that out I had to learn about this stuff
[3:30]
and then see can I get underneath of
[3:32]
that big board which I should be able to
[3:34]
because that's where most people will go
[3:35]
to insulate and that will just really
[3:38]
help in that area now I called it the
[3:40]
office insulate the office that's the
[3:41]
piece that's where the couch was that's
[3:44]
going to basically be my office and
[3:45]
living
[3:46]
area um it has a door to the outside
[3:50]
that I just need to cover I need to cut
[3:53]
that off like like there isn't even a
[3:55]
door there I need to rboard all of that
[3:58]
um
[4:00]
cuz yeah a lot of cold air is definitely
[4:01]
getting in through
[4:03]
there I that one I'll do so the kitchen
[4:06]
and the office are the two big ones like
[4:07]
they're the ones that I'm going to do
[4:09]
before I leave and then the last one
[4:11]
well no there's a couple insulate the
[4:13]
cab area so that's the driving area I
[4:15]
think that's called the cab correct me
[4:17]
if I'm wrong I'm pretty sure it is so so
[4:20]
my RV did come with these covers for the
[4:23]
windows the sides and the front one the
[4:25]
big front window I can't you I tried
[4:28]
putting up the front one one when I
[4:30]
didn't have anything on it it should
[4:31]
have been easy it wasn't I just I
[4:33]
couldn't get it to stay I don't know how
[4:35]
to do it uh I assume it's possible right
[4:39]
but you know I couldn't do it um but now
[4:42]
my electronics are all like mounted
[4:45]
everywhere in the front so it's just
[4:46]
like that's no longer possible I started
[4:48]
thinking well maybe I could put on the
[4:50]
outside of the window maybe I could
[4:52]
velcro it maybe I could
[4:53]
put you know velcro strips on the sides
[4:57]
of the window and then on maybe sew them
[5:00]
in or something like that into
[5:05]
the I don't know the word for it guys
[5:08]
I'm sorry I just like you got to
[5:10]
understand I'm a computer guy I
[5:13]
basically lived on the internet I just
[5:15]
did I lived on the internet and I just
[5:18]
these common household like stuff like
[5:20]
it's just not like I
[5:22]
just just I put it out of my head
[5:24]
because I'm like you know I got a lot of
[5:26]
cat up here like there's no room for
[5:28]
anything else
[5:30]
so anyways just valky it on the outside
[5:33]
maybe like that that might work and then
[5:36]
the last insulating step is just
[5:38]
insulate the outside and what I mean by
[5:40]
that is the doors um to the little
[5:43]
storage areas you can
[5:45]
rboard the door part on the inside and
[5:49]
basically that's it you don't really
[5:51]
need to do anything else just do that
[5:52]
cuz that'll help a lot you've got to
[5:55]
custom measure it all so that you can
[5:57]
make tight fits without like having to
[5:59]
to put adhesive on them and stuff like
[6:01]
that from the all all this is from that
[6:03]
video I
[6:04]
watched so all these are pretty big
[6:07]
projects right so it's going to take
[6:09]
time I'm not going to get them all done
[6:11]
before I'm ready to
[6:12]
go it's just something I you know that
[6:15]
I'll be working on over like the next
[6:17]
year or whatever the next six months
[6:19]
whatever um so next I've got solar power
[6:22]
setup and
[6:23]
storage basically have you know an idea
[6:27]
of how I'm doing that so the solar the
[6:29]
power setup is simply I've got to put
[6:32]
the
[6:33]
big um batteries and the a I don't know
[6:36]
what the what is that called like
[6:41]
battery inverter um power system
[6:45]
whatever they're
[6:46]
huge and that's going to go in the
[6:48]
office area I'm just going to put them
[6:50]
there and then I'll from there I'll
[6:51]
figure out how best to make use of it
[6:56]
right um but I'll probably store my
[6:59]
solar panels in my Jeep now here I have
[7:02]
to be careful because when I want to tow
[7:04]
my Jeep I'm pretty close to my limits so
[7:07]
I can't store a lot in there and there's
[7:09]
a couple things I might need to store in
[7:11]
there as long as I stay under my limits
[7:13]
I'm fine with this guys um maybe it
[7:16]
makes it a little harder or you got to
[7:18]
go a little
[7:19]
slower
[7:21]
um you know or and you're you're
[7:26]
you're you're putting more work on your
[7:28]
engine oh that get all of that guys I'm
[7:30]
still I still want to do it okay I'm not
[7:33]
losing my Jeep love my Jeep as long as I
[7:35]
am in the legal limits I'm fine so um
[7:39]
the solar panels will probably just go
[7:40]
in the back of my Jeep when I'm not
[7:42]
using
[7:43]
them it's not a perfectly secure
[7:45]
solution cuz I have a soft top but it is
[7:47]
what it is and then next is the portable
[7:50]
propane solution I haven't talked about
[7:52]
this yet but I don't want to go through
[7:55]
the propane system in my RV it's down
[7:58]
to 33% right now
[8:03]
um if you have to drive that because it
[8:06]
doesn't come out if you have to drive it
[8:08]
somewhere to fill it up with propane
[8:09]
every couple of days then it's not a
[8:11]
solution that works for me because I
[8:13]
want to be dry docking places for weeks
[8:16]
at a time so it just it isn't workable
[8:18]
solution so I need to get portable tanks
[8:21]
that I can put in my Jeep maybe store
[8:23]
them when driving from one place to the
[8:26]
next um that I can just put in my Jeep
[8:29]
and take somewhere fill them up and
[8:30]
bring them back and then hook them up
[8:33]
like there's some kind of there's a
[8:36]
system for doing that need to learn
[8:38]
about it so that I do it right and you
[8:41]
know it's pretty simple though like I
[8:42]
think that's going to be a good solution
[8:43]
for me so I've got to think about my
[8:46]
solar panels and the size of the propane
[8:48]
tanks I get and how much those weigh not
[8:51]
only by themselves but when they're
[8:52]
filled out because I know they probably
[8:55]
they probably weigh a
[8:56]
lot so I got to keep the limits down you
[8:59]
know I I want to be I will always be in
[9:02]
the legal limit I promise you that so
[9:05]
still need to get my Jeep way just to
[9:06]
figure out where it is now and just what
[9:08]
can I what do I have to work with and so
[9:11]
I'll be doing that soon and then NE um
[9:14]
Jeep Towing systems on there because you
[9:16]
know I still just got to get the stuff
[9:18]
in the front I have that scheduled for
[9:19]
the 18th in a video I said it was the
[9:21]
28th I just got the date wrong the 18th
[9:24]
couple days from now I'll take that in
[9:26]
they'll have my D for three days and
[9:28]
then
[9:30]
um hopefully I'm done with that and then
[9:33]
next um I need toall install ring
[9:36]
indoors like just inside the camper just
[9:40]
my you know different devices my base
[9:41]
station my keypad uh I saw a lot of
[9:44]
videos since the last one I made I just
[9:47]
did the search on YouTube one of one of
[9:50]
the people who watches me don't know
[9:52]
what to call you guys of viewers friends
[9:56]
like I don't really know but he's
[9:59]
awesome or she I don't know you know and
[10:03]
they've left comments on a lot of my
[10:05]
videos since the beginning and just
[10:07]
everything they say is just super
[10:09]
helpful and and they said you know you
[10:12]
can search for anything on YouTube this
[10:14]
was in a different video and I
[10:16]
remembered that comment and so I you
[10:18]
know so I did I I searched
[10:20]
for you know how to mount ring devices
[10:23]
on an RV lots of stuff came up so so
[10:28]
there's two install ring indoors and
[10:30]
star ring
[10:31]
outdoors and so indoors it's the base
[10:35]
station the keypad maybe a camera that's
[10:37]
what I was getting at um not a camera a
[10:40]
a ring doorbell camera um because a lot
[10:43]
of the videos were just about that so
[10:46]
and I didn't even think of that but you
[10:47]
know that would be nice to have so going
[10:50]
to do that and then on the outdoors are
[10:53]
just my cameras like up to four of those
[10:56]
for safety reasons I they're mounted you
[10:59]
can just and they have like a clip so
[11:01]
you can just uncp it and put it inside
[11:04]
and it'll be fine forever and then just
[11:05]
put it back on when you get
[11:08]
somewhere I wanted to avoid that because
[11:11]
I'd like to use these cameras while I'm
[11:13]
driving sometimes just so that I can see
[11:15]
what's in the lanes around me and you
[11:17]
know I already have cameras on it they
[11:19]
came with it but I just don't really
[11:21]
trust them yet when I get take it out to
[11:23]
a parking lot I will set up some cones
[11:28]
try to figure out does it see the
[11:31]
entire um just to figure out how what
[11:34]
does it see you know I just need to know
[11:37]
that what are the blind spots that sort
[11:38]
of
[11:39]
thing um did get the mirror extensions
[11:43]
and they're working but I'm a little
[11:44]
concerned
[11:46]
that the
[11:48]
straps I don't know how to describe this
[11:51]
well but these straps had little notches
[11:53]
in them and I think that helps to make
[11:55]
sure the strap doesn't come off in order
[11:58]
to get them around my mirror I had to go
[12:00]
past those so I don't really trust this
[12:02]
solution I actually bought another set
[12:05]
of mirrors that will be coming soon then
[12:09]
I'm going to try it it was a different
[12:10]
setup one of the pictures showed them
[12:12]
being set up on mirrors like mine so it
[12:16]
might just be better I'm going to try
[12:18]
because like Safety First always safety
[12:20]
first um I think I'm losing track where
[12:22]
I was
[12:26]
so I just I want to be as safe as
[12:28]
possible on the road and if I feel like
[12:30]
you know okay I've got a view of
[12:33]
everything around me that that fear is
[12:36]
going to just go away it just is because
[12:38]
that's the only thing holding me back I
[12:41]
need to know that I'm not going to
[12:43]
sideswipe someone if I can be sure of
[12:46]
that then then then I'm good to go so
[12:50]
next I need to mount dash cams and I
[12:52]
need to do that both in my Jeep and my
[12:53]
RV technically you know my jeep has the
[12:56]
front one but it's not the back one's
[12:58]
not my Ed yet and it's
[13:01]
not um wired into my battery yet I'm
[13:05]
actually going to
[13:06]
ask the people who put in my Jeep Towing
[13:10]
system I think they could do it cuz it's
[13:11]
real simple right um and since they're
[13:14]
going to be doing some kind of wiring
[13:15]
stuff anyways that maybe they could just
[13:17]
do it for
[13:18]
me um but I'll still have to figure out
[13:21]
how to do it on the RV because you want
[13:22]
them to just um you really want them
[13:24]
hooked up to your batteries and you know
[13:27]
that gives me some additional views for
[13:29]
different purposes and so those are a
[13:31]
couple more tasks and then these are
[13:33]
kind of the other side of things so I
[13:35]
need to get a mail forwarding service
[13:37]
where I just have an address stuff goes
[13:40]
there when I get somewhere and I want my
[13:43]
mail I can just call them or whatever
[13:45]
get on their website and just tell them
[13:46]
please send it here
[13:49]
um UPS stores have have that service
[13:54]
there are some RV ones
[13:56]
too haven't researched them real well
[13:58]
maybe may I will maybe I won't you know
[14:00]
you guys can always search YouTube
[14:01]
there's plenty of videos on stuff like
[14:03]
this uh I need to pick a domicile State
[14:07]
considering how much money I've had to
[14:09]
pay the state to register my vehicles
[14:12]
now before I've even left at least for
[14:14]
the next year I might just keep
[14:16]
everything here but I'm going to have to
[14:18]
pick a doicy state and then I got to
[14:20]
look into health insurance and pet
[14:21]
insurance that's my list so
[14:24]
far um there's a lot more that probably
[14:27]
should be on there like dealing with the
[14:28]
inside out of this house getting rid of
[14:30]
my stuff all of
[14:31]
that but you
[14:34]
know that this is what I've got for now
[14:36]
so just wanted to share it with you
[14:38]
because when you're going through this
[14:41]
process hopefully seeing my list will
[14:43]
help you when making your list so thank
[14:46]
you talk to you soon
