I've been away for a bit so I thought I'd give a brief overview of what I've been up to over the past nine months and a few updates on some upcoming videos.
Thank you Anders. So far the consensus seems to be a combined shop tour and toolbox tour. That kind of makes sense as I have tools throughout the shop in cupboards and under workbenches as well as in the actual toolbox so I will work on this in the near future. It's hard to believe we've been in this house six years already and working in the new shop for 5-1/2 years. Time flies. Thank you for taking the time to watch and for the comments Anders. Mike
Thanks Tim. The inside is nothing special and pretty much the way Monaco built it other than we reupholstered the couches and pilot/co-pilot seats but I've actually had a couple of requests for a full walk around of our coach and the mods that I've e done so I will definitely do a video on that. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Mike
Great to see you are feeling better and back in the shop. I prefer to see you doing actual projects and the processes you use to complete them, having watched the shop tours previously.
Great to see your smiling face again Mike! With all the craziness of the last few years and how long it had been between your last video did get a little concerned that something had happened. Sorry to hear that you got sick, but glad you’ve recovered and staying healthy. Those sounded like some fun projects you and your son got done. I liked the flow of the last shop tour video (it’s how I found your channel), so I would say the updated one should match the same format. (Shop & Tools 🧰 at once). It inspired more than a few things/changes when I setup my own home shop. Could be fun to do a mini series on zeroing out the new Camaro. Think there is a lot of viewers that would appreciate the insight to Mike’s approach, and others that may find it who weren’t ever taught what it means or why you should do it. (maybe they didn’t have a father into cars, or in general, but want to learn). Those series seem to really attract subscribers and views. Either way glad to see you back and excited to see the Camaro. Paul - American Fork, UT PS - I bombarded you with questions about your work benches about 2 years ago. Finally got mine done (6’ bench with the HF box in it) this summer. I’ll have to share a photo some time, but questions weren’t all in vain. 😂 It’s a solid solid bench with a 7/16 top
Paul, thank you for the generous words and comments. They are greatly appreciated and happy to have you following along. I hope you will stay tuned as I think I have some interesting projects coming up, at least I'll try to make them interesting. 😜 Mike
Good to see you are “back in the saddle again”. I found your channel when you did the Hydro Hot maintenance video, sure helped me to service ours. Funny you picked up a Camaro on your Colorado trip as we bought a 2015 JKU while we were camping in Cortez back in August. I enjoy watching your videos. Shop tour with some footage of your vehicles you mentioned in this video would be awesome.
Thank you Kevin, I appreciate you subscribing and following along. If you are new to Jeeps I would encourage you to check out many of my Jeep related videos, especially the ones where I installed a 6.2 liter LS in our 2011 JKUR. I also have a couple related to cooling and pre-trip checks. Thanks for watching and for the comments. I will work on getting some videos of our personal vehicles and the various projects/repairs performed to them. Mike
Hi Mike so sorry to hear you were sick. So glad to hear things are better and your back on your feet. Give our regards to the Mrs. We sure miss seeing you guys. Thanks for the update.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and for the comments. I do have a few items to address on the coach over the winter so I will try and video those. Thank you Mike
Mike, great to see a new video! Looking forward to seeing future projects on the channel. Following you on GJ, I have seen your updates, but it would be great for a new shop and tool box tour video combined.
It is interesting the amount of couples I know who RV and the woman won't drive it, seems to me it would be smart/wise to be able/comfortable to drive it in the event something happens. I remember my grandfather broke his shoulder at our house one winter, he drove his 31' RV home with my grandmother with one arm! Glad you're health scare was not something more serious.
In the 30+ years of owning large RV's my wife has never wanted to drive any of them. When we were racing much of the driving was in the dark so I didn't push it but then when got out of racing and started traveling more for enjoyment and pleasure we joined the FMCA community (back in 2000) and they have a provision that if there is a health issue someone will get your coach to its destination. We have never used it, thank God, but we have friends who have so that gives my wife peace of mind and for that I'm glad. I don't want her to be stressed and if having that option relieves her of that then I'm good. Thanks for taking the time to watch and for the comments. Mike
@@zmotorsports62 that is nice to have that option because a tow bill for an RV your size would be sizable! My parents have an RV also and stepmom won't drive it, but always complains about how my dad drives it 🤣🤣
Updated shop tour and tool tour would be great! Love to see the work in the vehicles also!
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.
Mike
Glad to hear that you’re feeling better Mike! A new updated shop/toolbox tour would be really awesome to see.
With best regards,
Anders, Sweden.

Great to see you back! I've learned a lot from your videos. Thank you for posting them.
Thank you very much for the comments Frank, I appreciate that and glad you have found my videos helpful.
Mike
Yes a shop tour would be great.
Great, I will work on and updated version.
Thank you for watching and for the feedback.
Mike
Hi Mike I follow you on irv2 Fourm. I don’t know if you’ve ever done a tour of the inside of your motorhome but I would love to see that.
Thanks Tim. The inside is nothing special and pretty much the way Monaco built it other than we reupholstered the couches and pilot/co-pilot seats but I've actually had a couple of requests for a full walk around of our coach and the mods that I've e done so I will definitely do a video on that.

Awesome Mike! Not sure why but had not been on your channel. Subscribed now! Always catch-up on your G-J as not on every day.
Thank you Randy. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and to subscribe to my channel.

Thank you David. We missed seeing you and Kim this year but hopefully we'll see you guys on the road somewhere in 2023.
Safe travels my friend.
Mike
Glad you are better. I'm mainly here for any type of RV related content but enjoy many of your other videos as well. Take care of your health.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and for the comments. I do have a few items to address on the coach over the winter so I will try and video those.
Thank you

That's awesome. Maybe he should just hand her the keys one day and see if the complaining continues. 🤣
@@zmotorsports62 😂 that may result in a call to me to come drive it home!
