Wow! You really pulled out all the stops and created a unique home. I own a 4007 and felt like I was in a completely different place while watching your video. Thank you for the inspiration to change a few things.
It is amazing what some paint will do to create a truly homey feel. We removed a few cabinets and swapped the table orientation and style. The trim replacement makes a huge difference, as well.
I kept generator for any failures. I did not think anything would happen to the solar. However something did and it was really warm. It took me 4 hours to gather parts and enact the repair. The generator definitely allowed me to not have to freak out when my system went down.
Yes, a backup generator is a great idea. However, I would rather have a portable generator than a built in one. That way I could utilize it's functionality with and away from the RV, if necessary. I'd love to get the several hundred pounds off the rig, as well.
It’s really nice you’ve done a great job it works for your family. My only concern is your kids are in the back and it’s all open how do you keep it secure at night especially with things the way they are in the world today
I just love what you have done to this Rig. I’m so interested in buying one. The solar system is awesome! I love that you can live off grid. How much did all these upgrade cost you in the end and what other upgrades would you consider doing on this model. Thank you for the great tour and explanation of how this rig operates. It was very helpful!
It depends on how elaborate you go with the solar system and if you can DIY it. You can DIY a large, off-grid system starting around 8K. Otherwise, it'll start around twice that. If I could find a way to link all 3 grey tanks together, that would be my only upgrade at the current moment. I'd love to be able to utilize the 30+ gallon tank in the back that doesn't fill up much while boondocking, since it's for brushing teeth and hand washing.
Thanks for thanking the time and effort to make such an awesome video and sharing. I have the same exact model and it's quite a beast. What year , make and model truck do you have to pull it with. I am curious on how well it does. Again, thanks for taking the time and sharing.
Thanks for stopping by! We tow with a 2019 F350 DRW. It does great in all environments. I wouldn't pull it with anything but a 1 ton dually because there are very few types of SRW trucks that have the payload for the pin weight.
U did a magnificent job I have two large mastiffs that rnt nice this rig woukd be awesome fir us they woukd have that back deck to hang out on . And the lower bed to sleep on as to leave us alone in our bed lol . I wish my digs coukd get along w others .
Beautiful job! Please please.... what brand of couch is this? We would love to get one of those! Love the cup holders on it and the fact that that seat also reclines. Great job you guys!!! This is the best setup I have ever seen. We have two large Harley's. We want to bring them with us when we sell this house and live in an RV. My husband has so many tools. That toy hauler would make a great garage area in the back for his tools and the bikes. I'm just drooling over this. Thanks so much for sharing. We watched it unable to hear what you all said.. so we'll watch it again to listen to all you're saying. God Bless you guys on your travels!
Thank you. This would be good for a couple of Harley's. Just double check the weight of all the tools and bikes. The garage floor can handle 3 or maybe 3.5k pounds. Of course, if you max out the garage, you are at the gross weight of the trailer. I don't think ya'll would be that heavy though. The couch brand is Allure Furniture.
Very cool setup. I love the solar system. How do you like the ford truck for towing ? What year is it and have you had any issues with the truck towing such a large trailer?
Yes, getting into the master requires the slide to be partially out so it is more inconvenient, but we don't do many tight spots like rest areas. We will utilize Boondockers Welcome or Harvest Hosts when we are doing multiday travels.
I love everything you guys did. We also have a 4007 and I'm definitely going to be "borrowing" some of your ideas. Can you please tell me where you got your wallpaper for the backsplash above the table and the shiplap wallpaper? Also, how did you mount the wood accent pieces around all the framing? Did you take the couch out to put the wallpaper on the slide out or just work around it? Thanks for any info you can share. We are a family of 6 and don't do full time but hope to one day. Bellonwheels!
The wallpaper was from Amazon and the shiplap wallpaper is from Target. The new wood trim is installed with just a finish nailer and the top piece has some construction adhesive to help. We removed the couch to do all the paint (since we sprayed it) and wallpaper around it. There are screws through the front and back frame into the floor.
What did you do with the lighting above the cabinets that were mounted in the wood “accent” pieces? We’re removing the wood but don’t want to lose the lighting!!
@@LeslinAdventures We love the floorplan of our 4007. We like having a dining room table for dinners and the loft bunk in the garage area versus the main living space.

What do you use to lock in your Peloton when you are moving? I am trying to decide if I can secure my bike when I buy my rig so I can take it with me. Thank you!
Love the changes you made with your rig. We also have this same make and model. How did you convert the couch bed to a regular bed? We are in the process of trying to figure this out for a more comfortable bed for the kiddos and would love any advice. Thanks.
We obtained a bed platform from Heartland while up in Indiana. I modified the brackets they supplied so I could use Grade 8 Steel through-bolts and nuts to secure it to the existing trolley. You could build a similar platform and use similar hardware to the platform you already have and bolt it to the trolley. That's what I'd do if I didn't get the platform in Indiana
Balcony side? I'm not sure where you mean it should go. They put in that spot because it is covered by the awning to provide shade and reduce glare on the TV. However, the flaw with the setup is that the cooking surface is too high.
Can you share more about your WiFi solution? We’re looking to be able to work remote from the road next year and having difficulty finding a solution that isn’t slow and doesn’t have data limits.
The WiFi is an AT&T sim card in a Pepwave BR1 Mk2 modem/router. I use a Poynting directional antenna. It has worked well, except for 1 or two times when we were so remote there wasn't a shred of signal for 20 minutes. The antenna does a good job of picking up the signal when other ways do not. I don't think there is anything that is truly unlimited anymore for data. Our plan is limited to 500 GB or so.
Yes, we have had issues. We have been very open about everything that we have lived and struggled through. However, across all manufacturers, there have been units that have had a lot of problems. They are all built with the same parts, from the same part manufacturer, and assembled by the same workers in an industry with high overturn from company to company. I would say that HL, Forest River, Keystone, etc. all have their issues. I'm relatively pleased with how we have been taken care of by HL, though.
I love all the changes you've made to your rig! We have dark cabinets and cream colored walls and would love to change them to make them lighter and brighter. What paint and color did you use on your cabinets? And did you do it yourself or have them painted?
We had the dark cabinets and everything (see our original tour video). The new colors make all the difference! We used Evergreen Fog by Sherwin Williams.
@@TheFlyingHens oil base, haven’t heard that type of paint used much. That is why it looks so good and will hold up. Thank you for sharing. Safe travels.
So, when we were up in Indiana at Heartland, we picked up a new bed platform and brackets. However, the brackets were not quite right, so I drilled a few holes and put Grade 8 through-bolts in to secure it. It's probably stronger than ever. The couches are very easy to take out and with the proper lower bracket, it would be easy to install a new platform. You could easily built a platform by skinning a flat 2 x 4 frame with 1/8" plywood and adding metal angle iron. Weld some feet onto angle iron and you have the necessary parts to attach the brackets.
Thank you! Yes, things break. Imagine your house is in a rolling earthquake at 70 mph. I am handy and fix most everything pretty easily because most things are small repairs like loose trim or water fitting. Regularly checking those items prevents a bigger problem like actual water leaks or major breaks. We did have a leaf spring (major component of the trailer suspension) break the other week. I had a repair shop fix that.
In a living space that's so small, you did a good job of making it country cozy.
WOW!! I love what you all did, I just watched the first tour. I love the colors you painted the cabinets, it makes it so much brighter!!
Painting makes a huge difference in making the RV feel homey versus the stock color scheme.
What color did you use for the cabinets?
Wow! You really pulled out all the stops and created a unique home. I own a 4007 and felt like I was in a completely different place while watching your video. Thank you for the inspiration to change a few things.

Best walk through and explaining everything. Good set up
Thanks. We see a lot of walk-throughs that are so quick or skip things. I just wanted to be thorough.
For heaven's sake, the sheer space of this RV is serious business.
It has been a great size for full-time living.
Love your upgrades! We just got our 2017 Cyclone and I can't wait to start making some changes to brighten up the space 🧡
Thank you! You'll be amazed at how much paint can really help brighten the room and make it feel homey!
Had to smile at your husband trying to avoid the closet mirrors while filming! What a great kid space!!

Thanks so much!
Simply AMAZING this is exactly what I would want to do and have colors and all
It just takes some time and work. It was totally worth it!
Loved this. Highly impressed how he jumped up on the back deck. Lol. Great job. We will look into this RV

We don't leave the deck down overnight.
Love your Reno I want to paint our walls and cabinets to make it more homey and I definitely am taking the valance!
There are so many little things that can make it more homey. It's totally worth it but takes some effort!
Very attractive!
Thank you!
Beautiful, Blessings 🙏🏻
Thank you!
I love what you did its very pretty
Thanks!
I would have never thought to bring the peloton . We have the tread and bike
The toy hauler provides a lot of flexibility in the back room to brings things you normally wouldn't think to take in an RV.

Like everything else that is unsecured in the RV, it gets packed up and moved to the floor.

@@akroadtripper6176 Yes, it's more expensive and more work, but the oil based products are worth it.

Sprayed everything!
Question what did you do with the blower motor under the bench of the kitchen table?
Also what is the size ?
I built the new bench around the furnace... ddn't do anything to it. Size: the entire length? 43ft
How did you change the side couches in the toy hauler to be a bed frame, is it something available from heartland or did you make it yourself?

Where did you get that shiplap wallpaper ?
Target
Awesome job. I want to do the same solar job on mine. What was the total cost ?
It was a lot cheaper a year ago. You could probably DIY it for under 15k.
Is this one for sale by chance?
Soon!
What a great run though dose anything break when your on the road ?
