    Air mattresses need to be inflated a few times before they "hold" air. They aren't deflating, the material is expanding. Once it's stretched out, you fill it full and it stays well.

    I have the atmosphere lights in my car but they're powered by USB. the remote wasn't working for you because you weren't pointing it at the ir sensor thats connected to that black box on the cable. the proper way to install them is to have them under the seat and have the LED strip invisible. I didn't use the 3m sticky side for the rear seats I just zipptied them under the seat on a metal part. wires are tucked away under the cars trim

    I can see the air mattress being useful on long car trips, give you a chance for that nap so you stay alert. I don't see an issue with it loosing air over night as you are probably going to pack it away after each use. Might also be useful as an emergency item if you get stranded somewhere.

  • @DjStiv3
    @DjStiv3 4 года назад +2

    for trash its simple...
    what ive always done for some years now... is use a regular cheap plastic trash can. Eventually i changed it up to two. First go find a square plastic holder one or even one of those fabric square compartment things certain bookshelves/shelving have... next buy a regular cylinder container as well. Put the cylinder one in the square one and place behind the passenger seat on the ground. Throwing stuff away is easy. Reach your hand and throw away in the back. And because it is not just the cylinder can back there.. the square one provides you with stability. I also place few extra bags or gloves and hat there too or whatever and it doesnt move around now. If it does just move passenger seat back if noone is sitting with you. Also if you need all 4 seats just move trash can to the trunk. It wont tip over or anything because again its in the square tub thing to add stability. Lastly just save your walmart or grocery bags to replace these when you need to.

    That air mattress is a really neat idea. I'd bet it would work well for kids, say if someone needs a nap while you're on a picnic (and parked in the shade, with the windows down!). Also, I think putting the mattress in place first would help the part for the floor board to not need to be squished into place.

    James...I live alone so nobody else to ride with me. I put my trash can on the floorboard of the passenger side with the strap going over the gear shift handle. That way the bag doesn't slide around & is always within arms length while driving. I found 600 small bags on Amazon for $7 & they are black which looks nicer than store plastic bags. Yes, the black bags ship from China & takes about 3 weeks to arrive but the store plastic bags work fine until they arrive. When it gets full & being located within arms length, I just pull the bag out & toss it into the garbage can. If it's not messy trash, I pull the trash out & put it in a store plastic bag so I can reuse the black bag & I can still toss my trash in my garage can. I haven't tried it as a cooler yet so can't comment on that one. I'm finding it very convenient to toss any wrappers directly into the trash can which minimizes clean up. 😁 I've been using it for about 3 months with NO complaints. 👍 👍 👍

As for the atmosphere lights, I have a set of them and for the remote to work there is generally a sensor at the end of a wire that comes from the junction box, the remote works on a line of sight basis and if the remote can't see the sensor it won't work. Just thought I would offer that info.

My grandpa always has that trash can/tissue holder that say on the hump in floorboard of his El Camino. The floor lights are nice but not practical for me. Love the mattress for the back seat.

    1. Air mattress: have used for young children while car camping. Works great. I agree with other reviewer who pointed out that inflatable products stretch the first few times in use and will need extra inflation until size settles.
    2. I have lived in Palm Springs, & Edwards AFB & now live in central Texas…if you EVER find an in car adhesive that works in Vegas do a whole show on it…it’ll be worth it.
    3. The advantage of coaster lights is to find where to put your open drink in the dark. (You are probably too young to remember drive in movies.
    4. Since coolers rely on keeping cool air in, no cooler that isn’t airtight will ever work well. (Try leaving your ‘fridge’ open). PS as an aside IMHO when camping using several smaller coolers in sequence rather than a monster size cooler that everyone is constantly letting the cold out of is much more effective especially if A. you will be gone more than a day and B. There are more than 2 people along.

  • @OffensiveDetr4nny

    In case you have still had some trouble with the atmosphere lights there is a chord coming out of the black box that leads to a tiny black receiver on the end of the wire. The remote has to be pointed at that to be able to change colors and functions. That’s why I installed mine up front and tucked away all the wires under the plastic siding and dash

  • @00bengalsfan00

    You should place the led lights under your steering wheel area and glove compartment area. As well as underneath the driver and passenger seats. There should be a metal bar under the seats that will allow you to mount them. I drive for uber and lyft and use those exact lights. They are a lot better than what i thought they would be. Also it would probably be best to tuck the wires under your center console. These lights have made me so much tips doing ride share. 5 stars from me

    I slept on an indoor air mattress for a year and a half and they do spring holes every now and then and you ride them down. The part of it that lost more air will have a hole very soon.

    2. Use Joe’s Sticky Stuff (clear butyl) to clean your cars interior. It works better than the slime & you get a huge roll for $20 w/ endless applications

The gel likes to stick to dirt so if your hands are dirty, guess what? Yep, it will stick to your hands. Wash your hands (or use some vinyl gloves) and there won't be a problem. Also only good for loose dust or dirt. It won't do much for something that is dried on like coffee stains.

    @TheCrystalGlow 5 лет назад

    To be fair, the mattress probably didn’t lose air, but the vinyl stretched and lost air pressure. A typical rule about air mattresses is that you have to fully inflate it, wait 30 minutes and then top it off to break it in. My queen size one from Walmart mentioned waiting an hour before trying to sleep on it as a minimum break in period. This includes any separate compartments like that one. Vinyl as used in air mattresses can expand up to 40% larger than its original size, so that’s something to think about :)

    All you need neon light wise is a neon light license plate frame. Stick 1 under the both front seats and the lights will light front and back ;) I had over 700 LED neon lights on my show truck back in the late 90s early 2000s

    I think the Velcro for the Drive Bin is to keep it shut on top especially for the occasion with the soda cans and ice.

    • @kimberlykitzmiller5042
      @kimberlykitzmiller5042 5 лет назад

      It would be covered by the liner if you stuck the Velcro on the interior of the trash bag. I had a trash bag that came with Velcro and it was for hanging in places other than head rests etc. You attach one piece to a plastic or solid hard part of the interior and the second to the bag. It wasn't handy for me at all and I imagined it would soon come loose in the heat or very cold.

    I have a mini van and I keep a small hard plastic garbage can with a 13 gal bag the only thing I do is is keep something heavy in the bottom of the can to keep it from tipping over during a drive but the can definitely makes a difference to me I do like having the can to keep my van clean

    OH MY GOD!!! I thought of the Drive Bin back in 2000 but decided it was a stupid idea when I found that the litter bag had already been invented!!! So someone invented a litter bag for your car with a canvas skin and a strap.

    I just went on eBay and ordered the air mattress for a lot less than 60 dollars I am planning a trip from Oklahoma to California and that will be most useful. Also the cup lights. I know you said a solid cup blocks the light but in the dark, it's hard to see where they are after you grab your drink to put it back while your driving. I think they are very useful. Now to the trash bin, I use a grocery bag hanging on the passenger's side of the console for those items that seem to acuminate. I just found your channel it's GREAT! I did subscribe, Thanks for all the information! I can't wait to see more.

    I have similar underglow lights that are hardwired into my car's cigarette lighter, they cost me about 35 bucks at PepBoys a few years back (or AutoZone has them too), and they have a dial hardwired in to choose the color. I used Loctite to glue them into place, mine had issues with the 3M backing as well falling off where I had placed them... where you put the 3rd and 4th ones, there is a spot to put them under the chairs but it is a pain in the nuts to get to, so I can understand just putting them on the chair.

    Atmospheric lights should work if you point the IR to the on/off button it looks like it hides an IR receiver and check the controller box and all the lights separately for small IR receivers

    With the air mattress you should let your front seat all the way up. I have a Crown Victoria police interceptor and it’s a big car as people kno. When I let my seats all the way up I have more leg and head room

    I have slept in my back seat of my truck on a regular air mattress...$25.... And two correctly sized carboard boxes to fill the behind the seat gaps, plus could put the air mattress in one with the pump for storage when not in use. Cost of coleman 12v pump, $13.00 at wallie world. That tested back seat set up is just a bit unwieldly and the price is too high for me. But I enjoyed seeing you messing with it! Ha ha.

    The remote for the light strips has to be pointed directly at the little box. I have a similar light for the tv and you have to mount the receiver where you can see it. So you need to be in back seat.

    • @cyberi4a
      @cyberi4a 5 лет назад +1

      Good point, but it could work with a piece of form over it to protect it maybe. Just the fact it extends over the edge of the seat would be worth trying since it gives a bigger area for a dog.

      He's in Arizona, the dog would either die if you left a dog in the car to sleep without the engine running ... or should be restrained in a seat belt/harness if the car is moving. I guess you can put the mattress under but a giant dog with nails on an inflatable seems like asking for trouble.

    I've used a product called Cyber Clean which was identical to Super Clean. I think there were 2 different versions: yellow for home & office and blue for car. Don't really know if they had any other difference than the color though. Could've been just a marketing trick to sell more stuff.
    Anyway thanks for your awesome videos and best regards from Finland!

  • @donnalynn2

    I'd love it if the trash bag could somehow be mounted between the 2 front seats. It's just my hubby and I and the kind of configuration from the one you showed just won't work while we're driving. If they could find a way to attach something that would attach between maybe the 2 headrests? I don't know but there's got to be a better idea out there for a couple who travels. We can't be the only ones in this situation.
    We leave the area right behind us where or snacks and cold drinks are so there's never any room for a trash bag on the floor there as well.
    If you come across anything I'd sure love to hear about it.

    I can't imagine those coasters are officially licensed but they look pretty cool. Those would be cool for Uber and Lyft cars.
    I used to have the exact same mood lights you bought and I had the same problem - the adhesive was weaksauce. I stuck mine underneath the seats for the back on the fabric part and the stuck. For the front I just zip-tied them.
    By the way, you need to invest in some weathertech style plastic floorboards (or try Husky liner or max liner usa for cheaper options). Carpet floormats and vinyl ones from autozone or walmart are crap. Spend the money on hardcore, non-porous floor liners and it'll save your car a ton of wear and tear in the long run.

    How carefully did you test the remote? Those types of remotes, which I'm pretty sure use IR, require line of sight with the receiver, and generally need to be fairly close (like, a meter or two at most). I have an LED setup in my bedroom with several separate devices. The receiver is probably in the boxy thing, but I'm not sure.

  • @mommabear2118
    @mommabear2118 5 лет назад

    With the LED strip lights you have to point the remote at the sensor. The sensor is on the box attached to the wires. You should attach the box somewhere close to the driver side so it's easy while your driving. I used double sided tape and stuck it near my center console. Also used zip ties to attach the lights because I didn't trust the adhesive.

    • @mommabear2118

    The car Air Mattress is one of those items that no one needs until they need it I could see it being used by a solo person going on a long drive and they want to save money on a hotel so they would just buy that and sleep in their car at a truck stop type of products as most Truck stops have outdoor power outlets or they could park close to the doors of the truck stop blow it up and carry it back out side and put in their car so they can sleep.

    Clean surface with micro fiber cloth and isopropyl alcohol, this will remove dirt, oil from bodies, and oil from car cleaners. This will properly prep the surface for a better adhesive bond. Textured surfaces are better avoided if possible due to less surface area having contact. This may result in shorter life span of the adhesive bond increasing the possibility of the lights being detached prematurely.
