thank you, this is good advise, I have pinned your comment and I am going to replace the receptacle with a GFCI. Also, good advise on how to mount it horizontally. I never thought about that but I guess every little bit helps when it comes to safety.

@George Hatch good point. yes, I can confirm that the one under the fridge is daisy-chained from the one under the bench seat.

Just hook it up to the load side of the existing gfci .

I wonder what took other manufactures so long to make a decent Revel copy. The Jayco looks nice for sure and might have some features the Revel doesn't have - and vice versa. Looking forward to some real-life compare reviews, Revel vs Terrain

Seats are not heated already? You would think for the price they charge... How did you add heated seats?

@@david_does_life Yeah I thought the same thing. Dealer said no heated seats because the seats swivel, not true My upholster had kits that worked perfectly total cost was only 477.00 no problem with swiveling and very clean install and man are the toasty.

@@mtnride4930 I’m quite sure even Mercedes offers heated swivel seats; straight from the factory. Also Winnebago got rid of the power sliding door starting with the 2021 Revel

@@david_does_life Yes they do but I think Winnebago just went on the cheap. We really like the power slide door though.

How do you like the Stop the Sway ?

hi Catherine. thank you very much. While I don't have any drawings/schematics for any of my upgrades - I make things up as I go along - I am happy to help and provide and answer questions in more detail. You can find my email address in the 'about' section of my KZfaq channel. feel free to reach out. As for the tools list..well, I thought about that. I know many similar KZfaq channels list the tools used in the videos. I decided not to do that and here is why: Almost all my upgrades can be done with a very basic set of tools, like a screwdriver and an adjustable wrench. But since I have a lot of tools, I might use an electric impact screw gun or a dedicated wrench. Or if I strip some wires, I want to use my high-precision wire stripper but a kitchen knife would also work. And instead of soldering 2 wires together, well twisting them together and wrap them with some electrical tape works as well. Should I list the basic tools and then not use them in the video? or should I list them and then use them, making these upgrades a lot harder and less enjoyable for me? or should I show all my special tools, this might scare people if they think they have to have these tools. If you want to get into DIY (and if you are buying a Revel or any other RV, you absolutely should get into DIY 🙂) my advise would be to start with a basic "automotive" tool set, containing a few screw drivers, pliers, and a couple of wenches and sockets in both metric and SAE. then add project specific tools as you go along. When I do my projects, I go through all the required steps in my head several times, always asking myself 'do I have the right tool/method to remove this bolt, this screw, this piece..." and then add to my toolbag if I come across something I cannot yet tackle.

@@orange13 Thank you I appreciate the reply!

hi Fred, the bottom right corner of the cutout is 3in left of the edge of the table when folded up and 3in above the metal plate where the water valves are. However, I don't know how much variance there is in Winnebago's production line and I cannot guarantee the same dimensions work in your Revel.

sorry for the late reply: yes, it is 1/4 in,

Thank you!!

thank you. yes, they are adjustable. look at the shot at 14:36, each of these oval slots is where the shelf hangers can be clipped into. I'd say they are about 3/4in apart which gives a very high level of adjustability

No DEF or DPF problems yet. it had an issue with the EGR Cooler which was replaced under warranty

yes, I put a link to the switch I bought into the video description.

@@orange13 o, yes, now I se it. Thanks.

hi Jamie, no, sorry. and I don't even know if all Lowe's carry the same selection. All I can say it was an "utility" carpet. they had it "by the foot" in the carpet section but not on their big carpet elevator where the "residential" carpet is on. Next time I go to Lowe's I can get a name/SKU

sorry for the late reply. No, all bone dry.

what electrical issue would that be? the key is a switch, too, and I have replaced it with a similar switch that is not operated with a key.

@@orange13 Having replaced the inverter, the hydronic heater and the trouble I've had with the awning, I'd rather just shorten the key that get into the wiring and the cover. But that's your call. Simply cutting the key shorter takes less than 2 minutes and achieve your original goal. When it comes time to sell, this 'hack' might not be as attractive as you thought it was. The other improvements were great. Cheers.

if I had children, I wouldn't have money to own a Revel :-)

I don't think the tech who installed it can be blamed. I'm sure they 100% followed the install specs set by Winnebago.

there are no silly 5 year olds allowed in my van. I do these upgrades to make the van more convenient for me. the switch is inconvenient and had to go

@@orange13 oh of course, I really loved the upgrade... looks more professional too. I just wanted to point that out for other families with kids... I'm seriously considering getting a revel myself and thanks for the tips...

@@Amer-yl4gb thank you. Yes, not every upgrade is for everyone. by the way, if you buy a Revel and travel with children that are intrigued by buttons and blinking lights, you might want to cover the battery shutoff button, next to the 2 blue LEDs. While pressing (and holding for a few seconds = shutoff batteries) will not crush you to death, it will most likely cause major ($$$) damage to the house battery system/alternator.

I've been wondering what would happen is that silly 5 year old hit the Awning deploy button at 60 mph? I just did the be switch upgrade on my Revel, love it. Feels safer to me since the button is glowing red when the bed is activated. Previously you had to look to see if the key was left in and know what position is on. Now I can see if the bed is activated anywhere in the front or even outside the van.
