      Hi guys! Love the content! After having the snap pads on a little while now, do you notice an improvement in side to side movement? The wife and I just bought a 2023 2600rb and am looking for ways to lessen the side to side movement when we walk around. I would appreciate any feedback! Thank you.

    Hi guys. The trick is to put some blue masking tape for auto finishes down on the surface FIRST. Then tape your foam and insulation tape to the blue tape. 😊

      Will the blue tape peel off? Would it be able to hold out through a rainy winter, all winter?

      @@mistyraper1980 The blue tape is a paper based tape used for automotive finishes and professional painting. It can easily be removed without damaging anything. And sure, if you prepare the surfaces, it should last quite a while.

    We've been in our travel traler for 3 years now. We lived in southern Alabama for most of it. Now we are going to stay in Kansas and i am looking for ideas to skirt the trailer. Last year it got down to -15 in Kansas. I'm hoping skirting it will be enough. I do like how you painted it and went around the slide.

I also survived being in our camper back in December when I went home for Christmas for two weeks. I was in west Tennessee during the Arctic blast. We are only 45 minutes away from Pigeon Forge area. Have a great camping season. God bless.

    I've been in one spot for the past 2 and a half months, which is the longest I've been in one spot since I got the camper last year. It does feel odd and I'm also anxious about getting back to moving around, haha. That said, spending so long on a full hookup site has been fantastic. Most of the places I've stayed I've been electric hookups only so not having to worry about moving to refill the fresh tank or dump the holding tanks has been great.

    Wild winds indeed. We had a microburst yesterday out in the Quad Cities where I was staying, winds as high as 90 and a solid 10 minutes of hail. Miraculously, weighing down the camper and connecting it to the truck kept it upright and aside from a few scuffs where things flew into it, no damage.
    I did have the slide in though, with weather that severe you definitely don't want to leave slides out.

    Another RVer in an Imagine XLS like mine introduced me to Zip Flashing Tape for skirting at the beginning of the winter. It goes on and off much easier than the foil tape and you can even peel it off, to remove a panel temporarily, and then just stick it back on. I'd definitely recommend trying it. It's also wider than the foil tape, which makes it a bit easier to stick everything together and seal the seams.

    Hey guys I enjoy your videos one little tip about your stabilizer the more you extend the screw Jack stabilizers the less stable they are you are still better off to have a small wood block under them so they are not extended to the full length and you may have a more solid setup look forward to see more of your videos while you're traveling good luck
