I strongly believe that you reap what you sow. I think it was your day to be blessed! You guys are continually giving out free and valuable information to us out here for absolutely free. I can’t tell you how much money I have saved just from watching your videos. And you offer all this stuff for us at no charge at all! I appreciate you guys so much! Take your blessing and enjoy your new chairs! God bless y’all!
Merry Christmas to you and Joanie, can’t think of anyone more deserving of a nice gift from the FedEx gods. This is my second stab at posting my comment on another well choreographed video. I originally watched the video about a week or so ago when searching for the RVStreet Amazon link. So I stopped to hear of y’all’s nice gift, you even have a few extra for when we come to visit the RGV. See y’all soon, hopefully. Stay safe and healthy, my friend.
Thanks Ed. Ya, Joanie told me you messaged her an asked if I saw your comment. I said no. Have no idea what happened to the first one. Also, here's the link to my store. When you land there just book mark it and that way you won't have to hunt for it anymore. Hit me up on my FB page so we can talk further. Click the FB logo on my YT home page. Talk to you soon. www.amazon.com/shop/rvstreet
We saw 2 Amazon packages in boxes, one medium size and one small wrapped in plastic today laying by the side of rt 40 today . Had we not been going 65 in a big motorhome I would have stopped and picked them up. We just saw on the news that this is happening all over the country
That's pretty neat! Hope you're feeling better. When we got to the end of the video the Mrs. asked, " Well how's Martin and Joannie going to fit those big new chairs n the rig or in the back of the toad while traveling?" I couldn't explain it to her (heck I didn't know) Soooo-- the suspense continues LOL!😁
I know right 😂 We're going to be storing them in a friends garage that lives in the same community as us down here. But at first, I was saying the same thing. I said, "Joanie, OK FedEX just gave us some chairs but what the heck are we going to do with these big ol' things when we leave in the spring?
I’m an electrician work for a contractor and we do a lot of electrical work for a major grocery store here in San Antonio (HEB) and we’ll do thousands and thousands of dollars of work on projects because some new engineer thinks it’s a good idea. Then it will never get used and they will scrap it. We get paid. My thought is that it gets passed on to the consumer even though those projects are in the “budget”. Then people wonder why they’re grocery bill is so high.
I work for FedEx. There many reasons why they did what they did. FedEx has different branches. FedEx express. FedEx ground. Both FedEx operate totally differently. Like McDonald’s and Burger King. They both sell hamburgers but are two different company’s. FedEx is like that. So here are some of the reasons. It’s Christmas and they are too busy to come back. Or FedEx ground is owner operator and it falls on them financially and not FedEx itself. Or they are short on drivers and can’t come back to get them. And my last comment is most of the time when it’s miss delivered they hope someone will take it to them, and most people don’t report it miss delivered like you did. So then the original customer calls in and says we didn’t get our package. And they will say oh no problem we will send the order again tomorrow. For them it’s cheaper in time wise. Not money wise. Because the volume is totally insane We are so busy you have no idea. And you are right it’s billions of packages Hope this help
Thought I’d give you a fun, crazy fill in video on what happened to us down here in RGV. I’ve got a lot of great How-to RV videos coming this year, so stay tuned 💗 I really wanted to just call and get permission to enter the RV park where the the fella that originally ordered the chairs and take them to the guy to the park not far away from us. Or find out by calling that park and seeing if we could get a hold of hold him so he could pick them up. But...we have a very small car, these boxes were big and 48lbs. a piece AND as it turned out the reason we didn't feel so good is bc, Joanie & I both ended having COVID and there was no way we going anywhere or coming into contact within and chancing exposing someone else. Whether we went to him or he came to us FexEX already handled it and it was the safest option for everybody.
1.) Love the channel. 2.) I think the world is nuts we have enough technology to build stuff like mad. Not enough technology to accurately delver stuff. And even less technology to fix problems. The world is doomed. :) [the previous video said tell us your maintenance]: 3.) Changed oil in my rig and started getting ready for spring. 4.) I am building a comprehensive owners/maintenance manual.
Way to go Jeff. Just a friendly reminder, always go back to that 52 week challenge video (below) and make your maintenance comments there each time you do something so it'll encourage others to do the sme. ruclips.net/video/seKk1inD6yw/видео.html
Lucky you, enjoy the chairs, they'll go great with an outdoor table. BTW: your episode on suspension upgrades was very helpful. On by 2015 Winnebago Brave, I had summosprings and koni fsd shocks installed front and back. What a difference.
Oh that’s funny as hell!! Getting free chairs! I’m still laughing! It happened to me too! The amount was way less but still,, and where it was going was the equivalent of 5 blocks. Omg! Martin, can’t stop laughing, I called them twice! They’re yours.
Very cool! We ship our "low cost" products by FedEx. This happens at least once per month. Our customer contacts us, so we send a replacement immediately knowing that FedEx will pay us and even pay shipping cost. We thought it was associated with our low dollar items.
I am sure you did all you could do to have these picked back up. Chairs do look nice. Our world is so crazy any more. Congratulations on the new chairs.
Hey! Those original chairs you ordered were suppose to come to us! 🤣 Those things are comfortable with the shock absorbers. We are looking forward to getting a pair this summer. Thanks for the videos! You teach us a lot & we actually recoated the roof on the fifth wheel this past fall with the Dicor kit. So much money can be saved being a DIY RV tech! Thank you Martin, & Joanie, again.
The frieght/logistics business has overhead built in. When mistakes are made you are correct, it's factored in and cheaper in the long run for the shippers to handle it as they did with your new chairs.
My guess is the folks that were supposed to get them were told it was delivered to you by mistake. Well they happened to be HUGE RV STREET FANS, and said "we are Huge Fans" Merry Christmas Martin and Joanie. 😂 Great video. Thanks
One thing we don't know is the cost to manufacture. Knowing Mark ups, it's probably $50 a box to make those. So to the company, it's not a 600 loss, but only 100. Add to that, the helpfulness of writeoffs at the end of the year, it would make sense for the seller to not be so worried about it. If it was insurance through FedEx, it didn't come out of their pocket, so why would they care. They can do a claim for the 600, that goes to the seller, and they send out another set. Only one hurt is what ever company covers their losses, which is a drop in the bucket for them, so in the end it cost the seller nothing, it cost FedEx nothing, so it's often the preferred choice.
Congratulations! The match is perfection, and thank you for the info for the awning cover maker! This is Deb, by the way. SMYT (Aaron) committed suicide last Sunday night: February 20th, 2022. We have literally thousands of dollars in brand new RV equipment, a place in RGV, but hadn't purchased our rig yet. I'm as lost as a woman could be. He was 38 days from retirement. I have no idea how to get to the goals we once shared, but I'm just going to keep putting one foot in front of the other and hopefully find my way. Thank you Martin. For everything! Most of his purchases were made from your suggestions and videos. You are, and always have been, an invaluable resource.
OMG Deb. Can you go to my YT Home Page, click my FaceBook logo to the top right and use messenger to send me a quick message so we can talk privately? 💗 😭 ruclips.net/user/RVstreet
Well I can see that you haven't contacted me yet on my FB page and that's totally understandable with what you're going thru right now Deb. Nothing in life can prepare us for the death of a loved one. With death, there is loss, and with every loss, there will be grief. The currents and waves of being lost and frightened must be overwhelming right now. Sometimes, some people can get lost in their brokenness. Right now, I can only encourage you to-as you said, “keep putting one foot in front of the other and hopefully find your way”. I’m confident you WILL find your way and if there is anything I can do to help please contact me on my FB page that you and Aaron have communicated with me in the past, so that conversation will be private. Not sure how much help I could be, but I’m willing and able if I can. As you go thru this turbulent time, being heart broken and probably feeling lost, lonely and scared, just know that Joanie I are praying for you that God will lead you to a healing place. 💗
Well here is another one for you. I had an order of insulin delivered to the wrong address. Was worth over $2000.00. I called the pharmacy who sent them and told them. Well they said they will take care of it. They said they would send out a new order to me. Not sure what happen to the original order. Later that year I had another order shipped to me through FedX and the order came a week late. This time the insulin was no good. Was suppose to come 2 day. They told me to hang on to it they will have FedX pick it up when they dropped the new one off. Well they dropped off the new one but never picked it up. I called the pharmacy and they told me how to dispose of it.
💕 hi guys love all of your videos so helpful ( haven't been able to get in here because hurricane IDA destroyed us ( we were 20 miles in from the gulf of Mexico where this monster came in ). So happy for y'all some guys have all the luck extremely nice chairs 💕☮️ thanks for sharing hope you both feel better!! Many companies do things like that it's happened to me with chewy ( my pomeranian and miniature poodle I get everything from them highly recommend excellent company as well
Hi Mary, We've talked to and met other that were greatly affected by IDA too. So sorry. Hurricanes can be devastating. I've been thru 4 of them. WOW out of all our fans I don't think I've ever seen a person subbed to so many channels. You are truly a YT Junkie.😭 Hopefully I'll make you list sometime in the future. thx for taking the time to comment 💗
I had something similar happen about 10 years ago. I had ordered 2 special custom Kilts from Scotland. So one day the Fed-ex truck pulled up and out comes the driver with a rather large package. I thanked him and off he went. i'm (like I guess you did) thought that was a rather large box for two kilts. I opened it up and between my military time and now aviation work determined that this rather large object was some sort of electronic gear for a military aircraft. I called them back and said that this was NOT my package and it needed to be returned. They were out late that day and took the box. About 2 days later they showed up again and this time gave me a box that was of reasonable size and on inspection I decided it was in fact what I ordered. About then the driver came back to the door with one more package. Yep, they tried to give me back the military item. It took MANY phone calls but it turns out it was to go to some USAF base in CA. Go figure.
I drove a UPS truck for 28 years. If I missed delivered a package, UPS would have me returned the same day and redelivered the package to the correct address. I really don't understand the logic in that solution.
Martin it's obvious! Your reputation as a loved celebrity, YT star and all around friendly chap needed to be rewarded for all of the good you do for your subscribers. (Just make sure you itemize this as a valued gift on your income tax return 😁)
Karma seems to like you guys and rewards you a lot. Any chance you will be summering in the Oregon and Washington area one of these years? When does it get to hot in RGV?
We MIGHT make it up there someday but right now it's not in our plans. Gas is to high on the west coast and we're not sure where we're going this year yet. Starts to get hot here around June thru Sept. but we've lived in Texas for 35 years so it doesn't bother us at all especially here in RGV. There's always a nice breeze off the coast and humidity isn't nearly as bad as it is in Houston, Tx.
Hi Martin, hope all is well - great videos always, big fan here as you know.... made some big purchases lately via your store... have 2 questions for you 1) When using Rejex on the wind shield do you use the buffer too or just apply by hand? 2) Have you ever, or do you know of anyone that has a video out there on Installing a NEW BAY into your RV..... I have a 24.1 THOR AXIS 2014, there is room just above and to the left of the Generator bay and to the Right of the Shore power input on the driver side of the coach, where there is a void from underneath - it would be a perfect spot to create a bay for holding tools and possibly a small wetbay installation If I were to cut the outer shell and install a bay liner (all supported mind you) with an access panel - do you know anyone (other than myself) crazy enough to do this or is this something that should just not be copnsidered from a structural point of view?
1) I apply RejeX by hand and rub it out with my microfiber cloth. BUT....as you'll see in my next video, if I'm low on RejeX I use RaineX which is also great. Watch and I'll explain why I like it and why I don't. 2) I have not, nor do I know of anyone that has installed an extra bay storage area. Can it be done....I'm sure it can. Would I try it...probably not. Why? Because if I make any mistake in the cut, making the door, locating the hinges, the locks or anything like that, guess what, I'm screwed. I'd leave it alone OR come up with another idea to utilize that space.
@@RVstreet Sounds great - I've used RaineX in the past on my car but didn't like t I found there was too much of a "sheen" in bright sunlight so never used it again. As for the Bay Mod - yeah a bit over zealous on my part... the wife would not be happy if it went badly. THANKs AGAIN for all your good work and getting back to me so quickly.
Amazon dropped our package off to the wrong address, I called and they said it looks like it’s at a neighbors house down the street, then asked if I know my neighbors and to go get it.
This was fate and an unexpected blessing from the Lord. I would do a review on the chairs. Provided they are of good quality the seller will receive a positive review and perhaps sell more chairs. It sounds like a win-win.
When did the lord have time to worry about chairs? Ah, I know……while ignoring the children in PICU with leukemia or while ignoring the millions of people that don’t have enough food. OR……he could’ve fit it in between finding someone’s car keys or a parking spot. Got it.
@@loriw2661 Ah Yes, we do live in a fallen world. Nothing escapes Christ even silly comments. Living outside of His Grace is a choice. If you are not a believer I get it. However, what He allows are for His purposes. If you wish to 2nd guess, or questions His purposes that is on you. He granted all of us free will. Remaining ignorant is a choice many, many make at their own peril. I respect your freedom to chose what you believe. Please grant others that same courtesy.
I think it had something to do with a law that says if something is delivered to your home by mistake, it's yours. And you are not obligated to return, or pay for it. I think it's a consumer protection law. So picking up the merchandise may have created some kind of liability issue for FedEx. That's my theory. Good news for you and Joanie however. 📰
The cost of this type of error is built into the cost of the items. The original person who was waiting for them already paid an upcharge in his purchase price. We are all paying extra for all our purchases.
I wanted to do just that. I even asked FedEX to call him and have him come and get them. I had his address but not his phone number and he was in another RV park. As it turned out the reason we weren't feeling good is because we had COVID and I wasn't about to go anywhere. I explained this in the very first comment.
I have watched you RV cleaning/detail video and have ordered a few of the item you use from your store. However you don't list the arm gloves that help protect when doing the ladder section. Could you please update, thanks.
Thank you Chris so much. It means a lot to Joanie & I. The black gloves I use that protects your hands and arms are in the "Everything Water and Sewer" category. www.amazon.com/shop/rvstreet
I've wasted too much time trying to understand why people do what they do. Anymore I just shake my head and say "Hmmmm. Isn't that something!" and move on with living my life. You have good karma - enjoy those beautiful chairs!
@RVstreet Hello brother my brother lives in New Zealand and I said you know alot - can you suggest and small windpower generator for 12V - maybe brand or make. thanks for your time and consideration
Winbago is was sealed with some type of black sticky tar sealer. Is this correct to use on an RV? Do you know what it is called? Does it come in a tub or roll? Or what should I use. Also redoing oven wall vent do you use the same sealer as the window? Thank You Ben Demby WPB, FL.
Any idea how to remove the aluminum rv dot sticker (Winnebago class A) I am doing a full body paint job. I would like to relocate them to maybe to the inside of the drivers door. Any ideas? I look for your email address on RUclips and the web no luck.
The way I'd try to do it is with a plastic razor knife and a little GooGone. It's possible, but I doubt you'd be able to salvage it for relocation. Take a picture of it first with your phone, print it out and use that to relocate. I carry both items in my Amazon store in the "Sealants, Lubes and Protectants" category: www.amazon.com/shop/rvstreet
Hey Martin, my guess would be that the intended recipient called and made a claim when he seen online that his chairs were delivered and he knew he didn't have them. FedEx probably didn't put good notes in the system so whoever took the claim info probably never seen where you had called in, so they settled the claim??? Just a thought...anyway Carol and I are coming down to Corpus KOA Mar 21-25 and TT Texoma prior and after.. Maybe we will bump into each other again? Take care, Matt
Hey Martin, It cost more time and money for them to come pick the chairs up and reschedule them to be delivered to the correct address. Unfortunately they would pick them up and bring them back to fedX and reprocess them. Then they would have to set up for a new delivery. All this cost them more money and time then just to reorder the item and resend it. It sounds so dumb to you and me. Even if they were delivered 1/2 mile away from the correct address. Sounds easier just to grab them from you and drop them off at the right place all in one trip.. it not that simple. It should be but it's not. Enjoy your new chairs. They look great with your new privacy screen!
MARTIN.. I'll be your Huckleberry and answer your question in a way you'll appreciate.. .. but first.. please tell me plainly.. is there any way to get Air Conditioning without running the engine? .. we're touring musicians that are going to LIVE in our RV full-time again and we don't use ANY appliances.. not kitchen or even the bathroom (nobody's gonna poop in my car .. lol) .. so, with solar or generator (or both) is there any practical way to get A/C at night reasonably? I enjoy the way you think.. and I'll explain to you (mechanically) exactly why something so ridiculously silly (like your FREE chairs) only makes sense in today's society .. do you have an email that I may send you?.. it'll be better than writing everything in comments .. lol
Solar to run AC is not an option reasonably. Don't know what type of RV you have but if you have an on board generator that's at least 2200 watts with 120V outlet you can run one. Not quite enough info to answer your question better than that. 😎
@@RVstreet we haven't bought one yet, but it's probably going to be another 20 year old one in good shape.. it's fairly impressive that you can get a decent RV for like 10 or 15 grand in good working order.. since gas ⛽️ is so high and COVID stopped a lotta travel.. I'm going to be asking you a bunch of questions you'll enjoy answering.. 😉 .. I may even ask your advice which one to get when we start shopping.. we'll be buying in May.. leaving in June.. the ONE upgrade we're going to do is stabilization.. you convinced me of that!! .. scary 😨 EVERY time an 18-wheeler passes us.. you driving one-handed hit me!! .. may I email you?
@@Chicago_Carey I highly recommend that you take more than a month to get a 20yr. old rig ready. Now I will help you if I can, but once you buy it, I highly recommend you join a couple of RV forums to ask questions and upload pictures of what you will need help with. I don't do email but you can hit me up on FB messenger from my YT home page. As a friendly reminder, don't forget my Amazon Store to get things you'll need. www.amazon.com/shop/rvstreet It's great way to say thank you.

Yes
Well here is another one for you. I had an order of insulin delivered to the wrong address. Was worth over $2000.00. I called the pharmacy who sent them and told them.

They told me to hang on to it they will have FedX pick it up when they dropped the new one off. Well they dropped off the new one but never picked it up. I called the pharmacy and they told me how to dispose of it.
WOW, now that could of been life threatening.
💕 hi guys love all of your videos so helpful ( haven't been able to get in here because hurricane IDA destroyed us ( we were 20 miles in from the gulf of Mexico where this monster came in ). So happy for y'all some guys have all the luck extremely nice chairs 💕☮️ thanks for sharing hope you both feel better!! Many companies do things like that it's happened to me with chewy ( my pomeranian and miniature poodle I get everything from them highly recommend excellent company as well
Hi Mary,
We've talked to and met other that were greatly affected by IDA too. So sorry. Hurricanes can be devastating. I've been thru 4 of them.
WOW out of all our fans I don't think I've ever seen a person subbed to so many channels. You are truly a YT Junkie.😭
Hopefully I'll make you list sometime in the future.
thx for taking the time to comment 💗
I had something similar happen about 10 years ago. I had ordered 2 special custom Kilts from Scotland. So one day the Fed-ex truck pulled up and out comes the driver with a rather large package. I thanked him and off he went. i'm (like I guess you did) thought that was a rather large box for two kilts. I opened it up and between my military time and now aviation work determined that this rather large object was some sort of electronic gear for a military aircraft. I called them back and said that this was NOT my package and it needed to be returned. They were out late that day and took the box. About 2 days later they showed up again and this time gave me a box that was of reasonable size and on inspection I decided it was in fact what I ordered. About then the driver came back to the door with one more package. Yep, they tried to give me back the military item. It took MANY phone calls but it turns out it was to go to some USAF base in CA. Go figure.
WOW.
I drove a UPS truck for 28 years. If I missed delivered a package, UPS would have me returned the same day and redelivered the package to the correct address. I really don't understand the logic in that solution.
Martin it's obvious! Your reputation as a loved celebrity, YT star and all around friendly chap needed to be rewarded for all of the good you do for your subscribers. (Just make sure you itemize this as a valued gift on your income tax return 😁)
😍 👏
This is a crazy story and is beyond ridiculous... but you were meant to have them obviously
Karma seems to like you guys and rewards you a lot. Any chance you will be summering in the Oregon and Washington area one of these years? When does it get to hot in RGV?
We MIGHT make it up there someday but right now it's not in our plans. Gas is to high on the west coast and we're not sure where we're going this year yet.
Starts to get hot here around June thru Sept. but we've lived in Texas for 35 years so it doesn't bother us at all especially here in RGV. There's always a nice breeze off the coast and humidity isn't nearly as bad as it is in Houston, Tx.
It’s like you said, it’s easier
Hi Martin, hope all is well - great videos always, big fan here as you know.... made some big purchases lately via your store... have 2 questions for you 1) When using Rejex on the wind shield do you use the buffer too or just apply by hand? 2) Have you ever, or do you know of anyone that has a video out there on Installing a NEW BAY into your RV..... I have a 24.1 THOR AXIS 2014, there is room just above and to the left of the Generator bay and to the Right of the Shore power input on the driver side of the coach, where there is a void from underneath - it would be a perfect spot to create a bay for holding tools and possibly a small wetbay installation If I were to cut the outer shell and install a bay liner (all supported mind you) with an access panel - do you know anyone (other than myself) crazy enough to do this or is this something that should just not be copnsidered from a structural point of view?
1) I apply RejeX by hand and rub it out with my microfiber cloth. BUT....as you'll see in my next video, if I'm low on RejeX I use RaineX which is also great. Watch and I'll explain why I like it and why I don't.
2) I have not, nor do I know of anyone that has installed an extra bay storage area. Can it be done....I'm sure it can. Would I try it...probably not. Why? Because if I make any mistake in the cut, making the door, locating the hinges, the locks or anything like that, guess what, I'm screwed. I'd leave it alone OR come up with another idea to utilize that space.
@@RVstreet Sounds great - I've used RaineX in the past on my car but didn't like t I found there was too much of a "sheen" in bright sunlight so never used it again. As for the Bay Mod - yeah a bit over zealous on my part... the wife would not be happy if it went badly. THANKs AGAIN for all your good work and getting back to me so quickly.
Amazon dropped our package off to the wrong address, I called and they said it looks like it’s at a neighbors house down the street, then asked if I know my neighbors and to go get it.
Oh Jeeze.
This was fate and an unexpected blessing from the Lord. I would do a review on the chairs. Provided they are of good quality the seller will receive a positive review and perhaps sell more chairs. It sounds like a win-win.
When did the lord have time to worry about chairs? Ah, I know……while ignoring the children in PICU with leukemia or while ignoring the millions of people that don’t have enough food. OR……he could’ve fit it in between finding someone’s car keys or a parking spot. Got it.
@@loriw2661 Ah Yes, we do live in a fallen world. Nothing escapes Christ even silly comments. Living outside of His Grace is a choice. If you are not a believer I get it. However, what He allows are for His purposes. If you wish to 2nd guess, or questions His purposes that is on you. He granted all of us free will. Remaining ignorant is a choice many, many make at their own peril. I respect your freedom to chose what you believe. Please grant others that same courtesy.
I think it had something to do with a law that says if something is delivered to your home by mistake, it's yours. And you are not obligated to return, or pay for it. I think it's a consumer protection law. So picking up the merchandise may have created some kind of liability issue for FedEx.
That's my theory. Good news for you and Joanie however. 📰
I didnt think of that, makes sense.
The cost of this type of error is built into the cost of the items. The original person who was waiting for them already paid an upcharge in his purchase price. We are all paying extra for all our purchases.
Only in America!
Why didn't you try to contact your neighbor down the road? I would have and have them come pick them up.
I wanted to do just that. I even asked FedEX to call him and have him come and get them. I had his address but not his phone number and he was in another RV park. As it turned out the reason we weren't feeling good is because we had COVID and I wasn't about to go anywhere. I explained this in the very first comment.
I have watched you RV cleaning/detail video and have ordered a few of the item you use from your store. However you don't list the arm gloves that help protect when doing the ladder section. Could you please update, thanks.
Thank you Chris so much. It means a lot to Joanie & I. The black gloves I use that protects your hands and arms are in the "Everything Water and Sewer" category.

@@RVstreet Not the gloves, the full cotton arm covers you use while waxing.
@@123cedmondson Oh those.
Sorry. I misread your comment 😂
I made those from a pair of long tube socks and cut them off right at the heal.
I've wasted too much time trying to understand why people do what they do. Anymore I just shake my head and say "Hmmmm. Isn't that something!" and move on with living my life. You have good karma - enjoy those beautiful chairs!
@RVstreet Hello brother my brother lives in New Zealand and I said you know alot - can you suggest and small windpower generator for 12V - maybe brand or make. thanks for your time and consideration
I don't know much about RV wind power solutions. Sorry.
Any idea who got your chairs you originally ordered?
We got our original chairs 2 days later.
Winbago is was sealed with some type of black sticky tar sealer. Is this correct to use on an RV? Do you know what it is called? Does it come in a tub or roll? Or what should I use.
Also redoing oven wall vent do you use the same sealer as the window? Thank You Ben Demby WPB, FL.

I need more detailed info to answer this question.
@@RVstreet not sure if butly tape is the correct thing to reseal a RV window? Any idea?
@@bendemby924 If you have dual pane windows then yes, Butyl tape is what to use but window frame will have to be removed first.
Call me crazy but I still would've just delivered them to the person that ordered them, especially since they were just down the street.
That's a nice thought, but I don't have the time or inclination to do everyone else's job for them.
Well, nobody wants to admit they did something wrong
Any idea how to remove the aluminum rv dot sticker (Winnebago class A) I am doing a full body paint job. I would like to relocate them to maybe to the inside of the drivers door.
Any ideas?
I look for your email address on RUclips and the web no luck.
The way I'd try to do it is with a plastic razor knife and a little GooGone. It's possible, but I doubt you'd be able to salvage it for relocation. Take a picture of it first with your phone, print it out and use that to relocate.
I carry both items in my Amazon store in the "Sealants, Lubes and Protectants" category: www.amazon.com/shop/rvstreet
Just shows the markup on stuff like that… we see it as $600 but reality is gas and paying a driver would cost more than worth of em
Hey Martin, my guess would be that the intended recipient called and made a claim when he seen online that his chairs were delivered and he knew he didn't have them. FedEx probably didn't put good notes in the system so whoever took the claim info probably never seen where you had called in, so they settled the claim??? Just a thought...anyway Carol and I are coming down to Corpus KOA Mar 21-25 and TT Texoma prior and after.. Maybe we will bump into each other again? Take care, Matt
Is it warm down there this week? And what happened to the chairs you ordered?
No it's actually cold and drippy. Next week looks better though. We got our rocker chairs we ordered 2 days later.
Did you ever get your original order?
Yes.
Hey Martin, It cost more time and money for them to come pick the chairs up and reschedule them to be delivered to the correct address. Unfortunately they would pick them up and bring them back to fedX and reprocess them. Then they would have to set up for a new delivery. All this cost them more money and time then just to reorder the item and resend it. It sounds so dumb to you and me. Even if they were delivered 1/2 mile away from the correct address. Sounds easier just to grab them from you and drop them off at the right place all in one trip.. it not that simple. It should be but it's not.
Enjoy your new chairs. They look great with your new privacy screen!
😑
Had time to put chairs together, but no time move the boxes to a neighbor.
Read the comments
MARTIN.. I'll be your Huckleberry and answer your question in a way you'll appreciate..
.. but first.. please tell me plainly.. is there any way to get Air Conditioning without running the engine? .. we're touring musicians that are going to LIVE in our RV full-time again and we don't use ANY appliances.. not kitchen or even the bathroom (nobody's gonna poop in my car .. lol) .. so, with solar or generator (or both) is there any practical way to get A/C at night reasonably?
I enjoy the way you think.. and I'll explain to you (mechanically) exactly why something so ridiculously silly (like your FREE chairs) only makes sense in today's society .. do you have an email that I may send you?.. it'll be better than writing everything in comments .. lol
Solar to run AC is not an option reasonably. Don't know what type of RV you have but if you have an on board generator that's at least 2200 watts with 120V outlet you can run one. Not quite enough info to answer your question better than that. 😎
@@RVstreet we haven't bought one yet, but it's probably going to be another 20 year old one in good shape.. it's fairly impressive that you can get a decent RV for like 10 or 15 grand in good working order.. since gas ⛽️ is so high and COVID stopped a lotta travel.. I'm going to be asking you a bunch of questions you'll enjoy answering.. 😉 .. I may even ask your advice which one to get when we start shopping.. we'll be buying in May.. leaving in June.. the ONE upgrade we're going to do is stabilization.. you convinced me of that!! .. scary 😨 EVERY time an 18-wheeler passes us.. you driving one-handed hit me!! .. may I email you?
@@Chicago_Carey I highly recommend that you take more than a month to get a 20yr. old rig ready. Now I will help you if I can, but once you buy it, I highly recommend you join a couple of RV forums to ask questions and upload pictures of what you will need help with. I don't do email but you can hit me up on FB messenger from my YT home page. As a friendly reminder, don't forget my Amazon Store to get things you'll need.

It's great way to say thank you.
