    You inspire and give pleasure to so many people, Slim. Whenever you are having a dark day, remember how many people you've brought light to, me included. I smile at every video you make. You are unique, creative, multi-talented, humorous, and philosophical and you just make me smile. :-)

    Slim Potatohead ... the "MacGuyver" of the Aliners .. and most likely other things as well.. Did NOT fall asleep and I Thoroughly enjoyed it ! But later, when I watch again at bedtime, as I find these totally relaxing ... . I "may" fall asleep then... or not .. LOL ... it just depends on the day and the level of insomnia I am currently experiencing ... ; )

    This is a bit subjective Slim, I like the pace of your videos, no shouting, they don't take 20 minutes to tell a 5 minute story, the philosophy of the mod and your personal philosophy, your ingenuity. I have some envy of your skills. I dream of all these little fixes to things, but often times, if they work, they are ugly. Keep up the good work, you inspire me.

    Love your videos. We have had our Aliner 2 years now. I bet we won't do 98% of what you do to yours but still love watching your videos and ideas we would never think of. Loved your closing statement. I tell people that I have never really started living till after I was diagnosed with kidney cancer. I am still in the clear so far, but it took a tragic health condition to realize how good my life really was and how little I was really living. After the all clear we got an SUV, the Aliner, and started doing all the we should some day things.

    So glad that you were able to "redesign" your electrical plug....great use of your new found space! On a previous travel trailer, my husband and I had a pregnant mouse climb up the electrical cord and give birth to her babies inside our trailer...not fun. Another reason to "redesign" the electrical plug. Thank you for your great videos!

I enjoy your comments about what ever comes to mind because I'd bet we would be in agreement with most any subject that might come up. I think that your ideas about improvements to your A frame are really good ones and your innovative way of accomplishing them is first rate. Although I do not own any type of camper, If my wife and I were younger, it would really have been something we would have enjoyed. So, as you might have assumed by now, we are traveling the road right along with you when ever you venture out and it's our way of experiencing what might have been. Thanks for all the interesting trips and please, keep up "the good work". GL

    I started watching your videos a few months ago, at the time I didn't know why, I just ran across one and found it interesting. I didn't have any interest in purchasing a camper or living a nomadic lifestyle. I am now getting ready to buy a slide in truck camper and see now why I have watched so many of your videos, the space saving ideas are great. Also your use of cheap, simple materials for fabrication is something I would have never thought of. Regarding your posters, I think some sort of mechanical fastener is the only thing that is going to work, perhaps put them in frames and screw or rivet them to the wall. Thanks for the hours of entertainment.
