Hello everyone, welcome to my channel. Like so many others, my lifestyle changed due to the pandemic.
Before the pandemic, my families lives had become so hectic & busy that there never seemed to be a good time to travel anymore. Somewhere along the line we realized that our last vacation was in 2011. We decided that it was time we made some travel plans.
Then the pandemic hit! I no longer wanted to travel by plane or stay in a hotel. We decided that a bettter and safer alternative would be to travel in our own vehicle, one that we could also sleep in, cook our own meals in, vacation in. The rest is history!
However, the RV shopping process is not easy and required a lot of research. I want to share what I have learned along with my ongoing experiences and adventures through my channel which offers:
RV tours / walkthroughs
Camping destinations
Hiking
RV modifications & DIYs
RV Cooking
And much more…..
So I invite you to come along with me on this ongoing RV journey.
Thank you for all your videos, very helpful. Summers are long and hot where I am, so I got a white van, it stays cooler on those hot days. My van is the rear bath model with two beds (20L- 59k -2LB), I am tall and like the open floor plan. The new Ram as the 9-speed trans, and nice gas mileage for such a heavy load. Ram has a nice turning radius for a 21' van. I added a Wolfbox G900 Rear View Mirror Camera, a must. Also put on KO2 Tires and 1 ½ inch Owl Lift.
Hello, I love the rear bathroom floor plan too! The rear view mirror camera sounds like a great idea and the KO2 tires along with the lift are great additions. All definitely useful modifications. It sounds like you are very happy with your van and I wish you many fun and safe travels with it. Thank you so much for watching.
Great Video Ruby, if you ever come thru West Alabama you can camp at my place for as long as you like with power & full access to my house.
Thanks for the offer and Thanks for Watching my videos!
I think her Class B modification videos are pure Genius. She could start her own Class B Design Line
Hello Kevin, thank you so much for the wonderful compliment! I am always considering designing and building my own B-class van. Thanks for watching my videos! 😊
I really enjoy all your videos!
Hello, I am so happy to hear that! Thank you so much for watching my videos!!! 🤗🌈😃
Your storage solutions and the trash can are brilliant ! YES on the cup holders !
Hello Rich, Thank you for the compliment. I think I created some really neat modifications that will allow me to have a more enjoyable experience and maybe Thor will see them and start thinking about how people really use these RVs. Thanks for watching!
We just purchased a van similar to yours. Your mods are amazing, thank you.If we come up with any will pass them on to you.
Hello Walt, Thank you so much for the compliment and keep watching as I have more modifications coming. Thanks for Watching!
You did an awesome job with your modifications/add-ons. I always love to see what kind of storage people add on under cabinets, I like that drop down bin. Your van has turned into a wonderful home/office on wheels. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hello Adele, Thank you so much for the compliment. Over the next few months I'll get to really try out the whole mobile office. I'll be sure to post more videos on how well it works. Thanks for Watching!
Great mods Ruby. Wheels/tires look great, making the Sprinter look even better. I like the info on updating your lights from halogen to LEDs. Great hint about ensuring you adjust as needed. I've seen so many people on the highway that just install, drive and they are really blinding. Those simple, creative mods for the trash can, the cover for the bed and the additional bungie netting for storage. The additional mirror in the bath/shower, adds something so needed, and it looks great. Since I work from home now, I'm so impressed with the mods for the monitor/inverter setup you have. You have the perfect on the go office. Great video, keep it up. Love the look of your Sprinter!!!!
Hello Merlin, I have also been blinded by poorly installed LED lights so that is why I needed to mention that in my video. The idea behind my modification videos is to help people generate ideas around how they can solve minor issues within their RV's. More and more people are working remotely now ( working from home) and home can be anywhere. Why not have a mobile office and truly work from anywhere? I believe this is a trend and more and more people will be creating mobile offices. I'm glad you loved the modifications! Thanks for Watching!
Come spend some time in South Louisiana….I converted a cargo trailer into a camp….let me know if you ever down here
Hello Bryan, Thanks for the offer and thanks for watching!
Looking fabulous
Thanks for sharing 2 Canadians living on the Gulf of Mexico sending support to you
Cheers J&D
🙏🇲🇽🇨🇦🇱🇷🇲🇽🇨🇦🇱🇷🙏
Hello Jennifer & Darryle, glad you liked the video and Thanks for watching!
Great video.
Hello Tim, Thanks for the compliment and Thanks for watching!
Love all your Class B modification videos!! You’ve given us so many great ideas.
Hello Catherine, I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying my videos and finding them useful. Thank you so much for watching! 😊
As usual great video, you have a great presentation.
Thanks for the compliment and Thanks for watching!
This is a great video. Very informative.
Hello Bill, I’m glad you enjoyed watching the video and found it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Very good job. Looks good.
Thanks for the compliment and Thanks for watching!
Just got this bad boy two weeks ago and been enjoying it, looks go sitting in my driveway. I got the 2023 year model with lithium, its really nice to have. I’ve takin it to 3 day camping already to test her out and no issues so far. I’m very happy with my purchase, no regrets..
Hello Alex, Congrats on the purchase! Glad to hear you have already gone camping and got a chance to test everything too. Look for modifications that will make your camper more enjoyable for you. Thanks for Watching!
Great updates. Personally I like the tire's and rim's. Cheers
I agree the tires give it a good look and makes it much more off-road capable. Thanks for Watching!
Love your videos.
Thanks for Watching!
Nice Mods! Can't wait for your next videos. I wish I had your gumption.
Hello Danny, Thanks for the compliment and Thanks for Watching my Videos!
Okay, Ruby - each of these are between great and brilliant! Thor needs to hire you for interior design!
Hello Alan, Thanks for the compliment and Thanks for Watching!
All great modifications.
One that I did to my cellphone booster antenna was to put a foldable mount on the bottom of the antenna mast.
This way I can lay it flat reducing the overall height and it keeps the head of the antenna safe.
Laying it flat doesn't seem to affect the signal strength.
Definitely a thumbs up 👍
Thanks for the compliment! The fold down is a great option but I purchased the magnetic roof mount so my antenna can be taken down as well when needed. Thanks for Watching!
Liked and subscribed!
Hello, Welcome to my channel! Thank you so much for your support and thanks for watching!
Fantastic I love ❤️ your motorhome mice modify
Hello Dennis, I have made many modifications to my RV which has made my time in it that much more enjoyable. I hope you find some that you like. Thanks for watching!
@@Adventure-Mom yes I'm enjoying watching your RV good job
How is the van going may I ask ? As I,m heading over in Feb for 12 months would love to know as I have been looking at this model .
I have a Thor Rize and just started looking at the Sanctuary 19P with lithium which is how I found this playlist. I fixed a bunch of things wrong with mine by myself too but haven’t been creative to make mods like you have. You make me need to take a fresh look at my Rize and see what I can modify! I know I won’t get trade in even close to what I owe so I probably won’t be able to upgrade anytime soon to the Sanctuary or Tranquility. But one thing I’m dying to know, how did you make the microwave work on the inverter without the generator? I hate that I can’t use just off of batteries. Thanks for sharing your ingenuity!
First off, Thank you for the compliment. I was able to run a wire from my TV outlet to the microwave outlet. I then disconnected the wires going to the microwave outlet (taped them up tight) and then connected the wire from the TV. The inverter is 1000 watts and the microwave is about 900 watts so the inverter can handle it as long as you are not powering anything else off the inverter while using the microwave. Thanks for Watching!
@@Adventure-Mom Awesome! Thanks so much for the info!
Hello Ruby! Great videos. We purchased the Sanctuary 19PT in September and have employed many of your mods as the also work perfectly in our rig, so thanks for sharing. Wondering where you got the hanging foldout storage bin? Looks like a great storage hack! Thanks!
That is something I created myself using a bin I purchased from Home Depot, grommet tool to make the holes, and 4 adhesive hooks to hang it from under the cabinet. I then used a staple gun to ensure the hooks do not peel the laminate from the under cabinet wood. Let me know if you can not find the bin as I have extras. Thanks for watching!
@@Adventure-Mom Great! thanks, will take a look at HD then. Appreciate the info!
Hi there! Love your channel! Where did you get the couch cover, I have been searching and having a difficult time bc of the sizing of this bed/couch? Thanks!
Hello Wendy, I have added a link in the video description but here it is: amzn.to/3KDAqeu. Thanks for Watching!
hitting send on a few of your links, thanks. getting the led light bulbs - wondering how many I need, 1 set (2) of each of the 2 links? thinking that covers all the lights on the front? H7 LED Headlight - @t
H15 LED Headlight - @t thanks!
Hello Janell, Thank you for supporting my channel. The H7 are your low beams and both come in one box. The H15 are the High Beams and both come in one box. Thanks for Watching!
Great video as always! May i ask where did you get the shower mat? Looks made to fit! I need it for mine!
Hello Rizaldy, The shower mat came with my Sanctuary when I purchased it. Thanks for Watching my videos!
@@Adventure-Mom Thank you for the reply! May i ask which dealer you bought it from? My dealer is not so helpful, otherwise i would ask them!
I purchased my Sanctuary from General RV in Tampa ... not very helpful either. Thanks for Watching
Hello Ruby. Do you have the install video of the cel-fi go? Can you please share it? Thanks.
Hello Fred, I did video some of the installation but never did create or post a video of the installation. Is there something in particular you would like to see? Thanks for watching!
@@Adventure-Mom Hello Ruby, i just want to know how did you run the antenna wire from the outside to the inside of the van? Planning to install one too. Thanks!
May I ask on your bed cover do you have two of them by chance? I am noticing when you lay it down it also covers the whole bed including the two side benches
Hello Melanie, No I only have one cover and it just fits. I had been using velcro to hold down the corners but need to find something better. Thanks for Watching!
@@Adventure-Momwhat size of bed cover should I get. I see the link but it shows me multiple sizes. Thanks and love your videos.
I noticed in the video that you have a floor mat in the bathroom, can you share where to buy?
Hello Kim, The bathroom mat came with my RV when I purchased it. Thanks for watching!
Hello. I bought this same van due to watching your videos, so Thor should give you a commission. Lol. I've been waiting for a video from you about how you mounted your cellular antenna but hadn't seen anything yet. Can you tell me how you mounted your antenna and how the cable entered into the van? Thanks. Tom
Hello Tom, I had decided not to post the video but I can tell you that I drilled a hole next to the hole where the Wineguard enters the van on the roof (under the plastic cover) and then resealed the cover with roof sealant. I had to use a 12" long drill bit and the hole came through the upper cabinet. I then mounted the CelFi box under the TV and ran the antenna wire behind the wardrobe, through the cassette toilet area, behind the refrigerator and placed the antenna on the headliner shelf. Hope this helps. Thanks for Watching!
@@Adventure-Mom Thanks Ruby. One last question. Does it work well and would you recommend it?
Do you need to change your mud flap when you change the wheesl and tires?
No, I kept the overall size exactly the same so no need to make any modifications. Thanks for Watching!
@@Adventure-Mom Thanks Ruby.
Have you addressed the piano hinge on the jump seat on the passenger side ? It sticks into me at night. Thank you. Diane
Hello Diane, yes I have addressed this as it was sticking me in the back as well. I tried adjusting the hinges and adding a washer between the hinge and the seat but that did not help much. Eventually I added 2" of foam into the seats and that really helped. I did create a video but never finished editing it. I'll see if I can dig it up and post it soon. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.
@@Adventure-Mom thanks so much.. I find your channel very helpful and most importantly, it is practical. Thank you!
@@Adventure-Momanything on the piano hinge mod? What kind of foam? Thank you.
It appears your sprinter van is a 2020 model. Mine is a 2021. Amazon Confirmed Fit indicates the LED upgrade you used does not fit the 2021 but does for the 2020 model. I have found another that does fit the 2021. I've been waiting for the video that show in more detail the process of replacing the halogen lights with the LED and the aiming process you mention in this video.
Hello Dana, My LED installation video ( ruclips.net/video/ROxvByVkKns/видео.html ) will be public on July 5th at 5:00 PM. Feel free to reach out should you have any questions. Thanks for Watching!
Thanks Ruby (aka Adventure Mom) video was very helpful.
My issue with this model is there is no table to work. Where do you put your keyboard or computer?
Hello Aaron, I had to create my own mobile office and installed a Laguna table. Watch this video and you will see how I did it. ruclips.net/video/Jg-uQSkvTDU/видео.html
Thanks for Watching!
👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
The signal booster system out is unperfectly build! No safe in bad Territorium. You must have defense shild in the forrest and so on. The Concept is fine, the work is bad 😳😵💫👎
👍🏽Ruby 👍🏽🚐❤️ That van is beautiful
Thank you so much for the compliment and Thanks for watching!
Do you have an instagram also?
Ruby, great mods! You must be an engineer? In a minute; you will have a totally “new” van. 😂🚎🥰 Enjoy!
Thank you for the compliment, necessity is the mother of inventions and all my ideas are things I needed. You are correct, I have changed a lot of items on this van already. Thanks for Watching!
