Your mods are great. Your paint scheme is also amazing. I wished they had designs like that from the factory. You should definitely do more in depth videos on your mods.
Wow thank you very much I have three follow videos one will be on the work done under the RV, then the paint scheme and then the interior stay tune
Absolutely stunning. I am in the process of buying an Itasca Navion with he same Floorplan. Only 29,000 miles 0n it! What you created is nothing short of awe inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
THE MEMORIES!!! My friend, I hear you so much. Best reason ever. And that RV looks slamming.
Awesome
👍 That's one hell of a job man, I salute you. Like that air compressor and hose. Nice looking family you got there. Thanks for the tour.
Great job! I did mine similar to yours except not quite as much work inside as I kept the table and got rid of the couch (as we do a lot of computer work ... & eating). It sure is nice to save a bundle buying a used rig (even with refurbishing costs) vs the what... $120k asking price for them now.... not to mention the taxes and insurance!
Great job.
William, yes Thomas Paine 72 inch, I did not have to remove the door or anything plenty of room to get the couch in, very easy!
You did an awesome job brother@
Looks great!!
Did you take into account gross vehicle weight rating with the new desk sofa bed extra fuel and water tank? It might need more beefy leaf springs,they might snap with the extra weight.
I really don’t have extra weight, I removed the heavy batteries with very light batteries, I removed the table with the desk and built the desk. Very lightweight. I removed all the carpet and linoleum with very light marine flooring, I added 50 gallons of water, but I normally only top off my tanks when I’m close to wherever we’re going to be camping I considered replacing the leaf springs, but I replace the front shocks and rear shocks and my airbags work great after replacing the shocks my overall ride improved.
I've got the same 2006 view - these are awesome ideas. My upper bed is sagging like crazy and the headliner is starting to deteriorate. Did you do anything special when improving / replacing the upper bed? It looks new/different.
Wow! Perfect! Have you considered a 4 camera security system, that is wifi-enabled, so you can see all around the outside of your rig, similar to what Teslas have?
I bought one but it stuck out too much so I returned it do you have any recommendations?
@@nayacorp I've been looking and cannot find anything that does not have big bulky cameras. The cameras on Teslas and the Chevy Traverse are tiny so most 'perps' wont even know they are there. Those systems also contain software to 'blend' the 4 camera feeds into 1 awesome 360degree view. For now, we're using a Wyze Cam V3 to watch the inside of our rig when not there, and we point it out the galley window at night when we are there and that works great, although that's using WiFi. If we do more boondocking, I will look into a cellular router to compliment my WiFi setup.
Have you checked out Wyze cameras?
Question about gross weight, yes I took that heavily into consideration the new floor was lighter than the old floor which was linoleum with carpet, the new desk is about the same weight as the old dinette, the new batteries are lighter than the old batteries even including the inverter and charger, when I travel my tanks are typically close to empty so the biggest weight increase is the solar panels which is about 100 lb and a full diesel tank which when full is about 160 I am considering switching to flexible panels, removing my dish satellite and adding 300W And I am also thinking about adding another leaf spring do you have any experience with that?
I had some questions about the end of the video. It's just something I wrote about what the RV meant to our family for the last 16 years, it helped with the decision to renovate, along with the memories, the reliability of the T1n platform as well as how easy it is to work on it made it very clear, this is what it says:
FREEDOM … Shepherded us to 49 territories, only Alaska yet to be explored. We cried and lost our breath, gazing the eminent void carved by natures scalpel, commonly referred to as The Grand Canyon. Followed the Colorado river to Lake Mead, waterskied, and kayaked its awe-inspiring canyons. Journeyed the same trail that Lewis and Clark made famous in 1804, discovered along the way tribes residing in magical places like Jackson hole, played tennis in the rain, Michael, and Hunter’s first tennis lessons. In Victor Idaho watched Damien Rice like performer. Drove up the Bitter Root Mountain range to discover the town of Salmon, and the longest river that salmon spawn on, fished that River, didn’t catch anything, really, that didn’t matter.
… Freedom introduced us to extraordinary places, grabbing lunch in Vail Colorado at 65°F and just four hours later Moab Utah at 120°F (the look on Katie and Nico as they walked out, never forget, LOL).
Awed by places that couldn’t exists, in July, Craters National Park, our overachieving mobile nest climbed so high, snow towering over her, water so blue and pure, could see 30 feet deep, picked up boulders you’d think impossible. Then, there was in the middle of nowhere, for some odd reason this congregation of sand, 1000s of feet high, that just started and ended, 10 miles later, rented a dune buggy, and limped it home.
Freedom left St. Anthony dunes crossed the Serengeti and gawked into the eyes of a 2000-pound beast just 2 feet away, mightily prancing down the middle of the road, us gasping from the bay, shielded by our mobile castle. It was only then, gazing into that buffalos’ eyes that we saw an eerie gentleness one wouldn’t think exists.
Often, felt so small… Whether it was walking the cypresses that reached the sky and swallowed cars. That only became mammoth because mist rolled over the cliffs from the Pacific, nourishing those sequoias in that land of behemoths. From the Redwood Forest, down the Pacific Highway weaving N. California’s mighty cliffs, overlooking 300-foot verticals and the fury of waves concluding their 3000-mile passage.
Camping the Pacific Ocean cliffs, Michael, and Hunter, take the dogs for a walk, Hunter came back a few minutes later but Michael, nowhere to be found. Never so terrified, looking 300 feet down on those jagged rocks, 30 minutes later found Michael, never happier or more relieved. Quadding in Marysville, Utah, Michael fell off a cliff, broke his femur.
Really extraordinary reflection. Freedom took us to Bumgardner, Idaho where we learned “that every adversity carries with it the seed of equal or greater benefit”, ran out of daylight, forced to spend a scary night in the forest only to discover it’s magnificence. The next morning, greeted by a glowing fire radiating over the mountain, slowly rising into the dull sky, illuminating the valley and God’s gift (especially cherished) of another day. Just a sampling of the precious jewels to treasure forever. … Freedom’s quests have just begun…
This looks so good. I’m looking at purchasing a 2006 and do many of the same details. If you don’t mind , can you send more pics of b4 and after and what did you use for the flooring?
I’m also looking at a slight lift w all terrains. Have you thought about doing that ever?
I’ve had lots of requests for additional details so I’m going to have a couple of new videos come out with those details to just make it easier on me and I’ll be able to provide more information but to answer your specific question about Lyft I don’t think it’s a good idea to in my opinion it will affect your fuel economy end these engines are great engines but they are just powerful enough for the rig and don’t need any additional burden . If you look through the comments somebody else asked me about the flooring and I provided that information to them but I will have a video with lots more details coming out soon including all the materials are used, costs and what I learned and how to do it inexpensively and efficiently best of luck with your rig I really love this platform and engine the only weak point is the transmission but I’ll take that versus the new rigs and the problems people are having with them.
Amazing! I really like the paint job as well as all your interior work. Is that couch/sofa sleeper a Thomas Paine brand? I've been seriously considering that mod to our '06 View. Did you have to remove the door framework to get it into the unit?
I did not have to remove the door to install the couch there was way more than enough room
Which flagpole is that and flooring material?
Hello. Do you have a comprehensive list of all the mods you did? I have a 2007 Winnebago view in serious need of some upgrades and mods. I am very impressed with your skill, creativity, and craftsmanship. I especially like the sound proofing job around the engine.
Regarding the soundproofing, the best cost for your buck is doing the weatherstripping around the doors about 40 bucks in an hour, or less of work, after that, kind of hard to say, but adding the soundproofing to the back of the engine is very cheap and fast, and then adding soundproofing under the front hood, cheap and fast But soundproofing the floor is probably a half a day job I believe well worth it because once you complete that you can have a conversation without yelling while driving 65 miles an hour, and BTW, if you’re going to ever do anything with your headliner, then I would also soundproof before putting new headliner in which I did as well but that job is only worth doing if you’re going to be tackling the headliner anyway otherwise alone, it would be a very big job and probably be pretty difficult to reinstall the old headliner anyway
So awesome! Would love to know a price breakdown for something like this?
If you have some specific breakdowns you're looking for please ask here's a quick estimate. The flooring about a thousand bucks, couch about 1500 bucks, although various textiles not including floor about 1500 bucks, entire solar system including batteries about 4000, 1300 W of solar and 600 amp hours of battery. The paint and labor majority done by me less than 2000, soundproofing and I did a lot of soundproofing around 500, carpentry including materials around 1500, reupholstering the front seats around 1300, adding additional 50 gallons of water about 200 bucks, 20 gallon additional diesel tank, about 250 bucks I think that pretty much gives you a quick rundown for more specifics please ask.
Do you also have the Onan on board?
Yes I do but if I did it again, I would probably have removed the generator because last few trips we never used it
Yes, I still have it on board but truth of the matter if I have to do it all over the solar system works so good I would have removed the generator because the last three trips we never used it once
Did you replace front grill ?
Yes, I did
That is not a Winnebago view.
