- 28 RV mods we've made to the inside of our Winnebago View 24J. Includes adding a cargo net, memory foam to the bed, new shelves, bathroom upgrades, kitchen sink mods and many others. My granddaughter is helping try them out. This is the second part of 3 videos covering the 68 mods we have made to our 2016 View.

Can't believe how much you sound like Red Green of the Red Green show, lol your shows a bit more useful, but I enjoy Red green show as well, very funny
Nice setup, I have a 17J and love it. Its the perfect size RV.
Always great videos, but we know who the real star is in this one! What a delight,
Yes, Maddy is so smart. This week she corrected me when I said T-rex. She said "No grandpa, that's Tyrannosaurus Rex."
Hey Ron, Nice job on your videos, I have watched them all.. I have a 2017 Winnebago View on the Sprinter chassis and was wondering where the Slide out relays are located, I want to bypass my also. I have looked under both seats and don't seen to see them . Keep up the great videos ...
Great videos Ron we just sold our 24’ tow behind and will be looking for a view or Navion in the future.
Again lots of great everyday mods that are useful. I will have to look at that accumulator tank video also. Thanks
I found having the water pump constantly turn on and off when running to water slowly (brushing teeth) was quite annoying.
Winnebago vista modifications
Maddy is a cutie! I’ll be working my way through all your videos and I have a j model layout too on my forest River. Little different I have large exterior doors to access the space under the bed great for lawn chairs and other large things
Love your videos Ron ...Doug 2016 24G
Thanks Ron for your educational and informative videos. We just downsized to a Jayco Melbourne with the same MB chassis. Wow we love the smaller rig much better. Being able to park it at home was a big plus.
Hi Ron, whenever we try to use our K cup coffee machine with just our battery switch on, there doesn't seem to be enough juice to power it up. Only when we turn on the gas generator. Any ideas on alternatives or what we are doing wrong?
I use the boost switch when voltage is low. I have a built in timer chip that gives me 2 minutes of boost but you can try holding the switch on to see if it works for you.
Awww❤ you have the cutest helper!
Great videos! Thanks for doing them. Where is the slide control relay located?
Ray Jorgenson mine was in the one place behind the Zamp controller.
I made a huge mistake not getting the j model. With couch pull out bed. So much openness with your model as the bulkhead for toilet is in middle of rig! Love how you made coffee maker cabinet area! Love All you mods! Thanks for share!
Well, you are not alone in changing your mind. We wanted a V model for the twin beds. All set to buy a used one, when the deal fell thru. After another walk around in a V on the dealer lot, we changed our mind and went for the J model. No regrets, liked the twin beds, but had to give up so much more that we really wanted like the openness and lower microwave height.
Hi Ron. Where is the relay located for the slide? I definitely want to bypass that so I can move the slide out and in with the engine off. Thank you. Martin 21J
Mine was behind the one place panel behind the solar controller. Bunch of wire back there. Only 1 relay though.
How do you like the j? We are on the fence between a j and a D the D has the Murphy bed. We have two small children and just don't know which one to get with the fixed bed or a little more floor room
Where would the kids sleep? Many like the loft if they can climb the ladder ok. The dinette works well also as they can hop in and out easier. We got the J because the microwave was lower and my wife uses it a lot. Take your time deciding.
Enjoyed your style!
brilliant ideas
I upgraded my drawers with cushion close hardware from home Depot. They never ever open.
Good idea. Thanks
@@ontheroadwithron2432 thank you Ron for everything you share. I've learned so much from you I am forever grateful.
I just put a deposit on a View. Great mods! Thanks for sharing!
great video.....
ms.sammantha lee do you have a View also?
If one was to bypass the slide relay how would one go about doing it.... just in case the relay failed out on the road.😉
Super helpful! We love watching your videos. We just bought a 2014 view J model and watching what you have done is going to really help us out. What are your guys' thoughts on the size of the bed? We were hoping for a queen but the j model just seems to fit a lot of other needs so we sacrificed the space in the bed.
Hello Ron. Question, where did you get the shower head and handle which controls the water, from two way to just one handle? Casey and I have a 2016 View and we really like your mods! We just don't know how you changed the shower control. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Faucet from amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HYIKEKW/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Pretty easy to change. Just remove the small plastic plate from the shower wall. There are 4 screws under the small plastic buttons. It is sealed around the perimeter with a clear sealant. The faucet water lines unscrew behind it. Just don't drop the water lines down the wall until you get them reattached to the new faucet. Be sure to reseal the plate with some matching tub and tile sealant.
Ron, do you have a video on the slide control bypass or could you give some insight on how to do it? Thanks
Sorry, no video on this. Are you referring to being able to operate it without the engine and brake on?
@@ontheroadwithron2432 Yes sir, I see no reason for the key to be on to operate the slides.
@@bigjeep2195 ok. One of the first mods I made as it drove me crazy. I found the relay that controls this behind the One Place panel. Forget which side but probably behind the slide switch. Remove relay and jumpered the block to bypass the relay. I forget the details as I did it once long before I started making videos. I believe both engines running and emergency brakes were interrupts in the ground side. If this makes sense. Check the electrical diagrams to be sure.
Ron, enjoy your videos and ideas. Bought a second hand 2015 V model. Only issue so far is that two speed sensors failed on the rear wheels. Fortunately MB replaced under warranty. Per my service advisor, it seems the Sprinter based RVs are prone to failures of those sensors.
Have you considered the waterless traps for the sinks? I am getting ready to install the Lippert 360 Siphon RV vent caps (part #389381) on my roof vent stacks. Will let you know how they work.
Thanks from a grandfather of six!
Yes thought about the traps but never pulled the trigger.
hi Ron, Love the channel and I'm working on several of your mods you did for our 2014 Navion 24G. Quick question: who made the trash can you have attached to the cabinet door?
rubbermaid
WOW! So impressed with your work. How is the chassis treating you? I hear bad things about the MB and it scares me. I really like the 24J better than the 25B. Linda
INTUITIVE & INSPIRED ART the Mercedes chassis is doing fine. No problems with it other than tire alignment. Yes, they have a lot of sensors and such but I’ve never had a problem. All my issues were in the first year. Mostly Winnebago related. Running great now.
Ron, could you give a little more detail on how you set up the TV to work on 12-volt only? I hate having to always use the inverter to watch TV or videos on my 2016 NM!
Sure, just cut off the transformer that is plugged into the AC outlet behind the TV. Spliced some wire onto the 2 leads and tapped into a 12V line. Crimped some lugs onto the wires and connected to the back of the Antenna booster located near the AC outlet as it has a 12 volt power to it. Also added a switch, but this is optional.
Any chance you remember where you found the magnet that holds the kitchen drawer closed?
Amazon. either a 5lbs or a 10 lbs pull strength
Have you seen the Garnet SeeLevel gauge and sensors? They give you much more accurate readings of your liquid levels. One of the gauges has a bluetooth option so that you can see the levels on your phone.
Yes, I saw them but went with the simple approach for now. Maybe some day, but I really only care about the level when it gets down to the 3 gallon mark. That's when I need to refill.
Thanks for this video and all of your videos. They have been very helpful. Can you provide a link for the cargo net items?
I don't have it handy as I ordered it online a couple years ago, but will look.
I must have missed the water accumulator tank video. I go back and look for it. Great mods Rom. We have a View 25G model, so most of your mods will work for us. Thanks for sharing. 👍
I think it is in the fresh water video.
Yes, here's the link. ruclips.net/video/gio0fHM6KOQ/видео.html
Could you tell me what size trash can you installed? We just got a 2016 View too and and your trash can looks like just about the perfect size and shape.
It’s a Rubbermaid. Got it on Amazon. Rubbermaid 1799571 Hidden Recycler www.amazon.com/dp/B006H01G3W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_rxg7CbZCX77AY
@@ontheroadwithron2432 Thanks!!
@@ontheroadwithron2432 Curious, the dimensions shown on that page say 3.4 x 13 x 10 inches. Is it really 3.4" deep?
Leigh Trail no. Smallest dimensions are the depth of the opening.
how did you do the vent mod?
Manny Perez I just cut the wall board with a jigsaw. Then screwed the vent cover to the wall. The plywood is very thin so don’t tighten the screws too much.
