Debbie is the handiest-woman I "know" on KZfaq--great job!

Hi Debbie, thank you for replying to my Questions. Really appreciate it. We will be following you on KZfaq . We are getting the Owl tire rack with a new matching spare tire and rim for the rack, we have a van outfitter called Main Line Overland LLC out on the East coast we are based in Pennsylvania .

Great video as usual. I just changed out my mid 90's Dometic 2310 gas/120/12volt fridge with the truckfridge TF 130 compressor fridge yesterday. I had to modify the cabinet because the opening was an 1/8 of an inch off . An 1/8 of an inch ! . If not for that the whole process of pulling the old fridge and installing the new would have been an hour give or take. I had to get jiggy with my jigsaw and then eventually remove an inner cabinet wall . Today I capped of the propane pipe and I'm done . The fridge is completely cold within an hour and a half. Amazing. I doubled my battery bank to 450 amp hours using four 6 volt golf cart deep cycle batteries. 2 hooked in series positive to negative gives you one very strong 12 volt battery . Adding the second battery bank (also 2 , 6volt batteries in series identical to bank one . Interstate brand ) in parallel , bank 2 hooked to bank 1 , positive to positive, negative to negative. Gives us 450 amp hours . We also have a small portable Dometic Cool Freeze 18 that we use as a dedicated freezer , which is good because the Truckfridge TF 130 has a very small freezer . You will absolutely love your compressor fridge. Glad you're going to make the move.

Miss Debbie...I love your haircut( I always notice your hair)! I love that you're a lady who sews too. Thank you for all of the helpful videos. You're so creative.

You are absolutely right custom makes no sense unless you really know what you want. Five years with our Roadtrek made me know what we want, then the issues are what really works and what does not work.

Like you, we've found the customization process is part of the fun. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Great video, Debbie! What my wife & I liked the most are your thoughts on how well some of your mods, upgrades, and hacks have worked for you & John over the past few years. We are just getting started with our first RV and have found your videos to be extremely helpful. We’re looking forward to next week’s installment! 😀

Thank you for the review of your upgrades and providing the reasons for your upgrades.

Debby, John, hello, these vids are chock, full of ideas, I really liked them, awaiting other following PT. 2 now I’m going to warm window ideas, CHEERS FROM NJ 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Always enjoy your videos! Very ‘real’ and candid. Thanks.

Great idea to put all the mods into two sets of videos. Liked that you updated us on things you had bought, but later found something better.

WOW ! Another fantastic video ! I figured about $10k to 'customize' your home on wheels, but it appears much less, but then you haven't done inside yet. Thank you for sharing the products resources and prices at the time of purchase.

Very practical and very helpful. Thank you.

Lot's of upgrades! Looking forward to next week's interior.

Debbie and John - thank you so much for doing this awesome video!. I was hoping at some point you would be able to show all the upgrades and this is so helpful and informative. Really looking forward to seeing next weeks installment of the interior mods and upgrades!

You always come up with great ideas & you actually execute them perfectly ,,

Thank you for sharing. Appreciate the suggestions on so many useful upgrades. Well done!

Quick warning that may help you: our Ascent had a lot of hidden black mold on the bare wood floorboard under the passenger side ottoman, in the hidden compartment below the carpeted panel. I was disassembling this to search for additional storage space, and was surprised to see a lot of fuzzy mold underneath caused by a cold winter and condensation on the uninsulated wheel well. Since you guys have done some winter camping I recommend you have a look in there and perhaps clean and paint that board.

Love the feedbag window covering - clever!

Great job, as usual! You are a great story-teller and you have an excellent camera man! 📸

So very helpful--thank you! Wish we could just "beam you up" to our home and have you organize and outfit our PW RV!

You really do a great job on your videos, easy to watch and you always learn something.

Yes I have a plugg kitt also smart thinking

Really helpful , so glad you popped into my feed. Loved the anything keepers , sadly expensive to ship to uk. But given me some ideas , thank you, stay safe

Thank you for another great video. I’m slowly getting around to watching all your very informative videos. Eagerly looking forward to the update on your windshield cover with fabric from Sailrite 🍿. I may just have to duplicate your design 🤔 as that is one of the many items on my very long list of things to do for the van we’re designing. Wish I’d thought of using Tyvex material for a template...learning ! 😊

Thanks for the update

Great, informative video. Love the inserts with images and prices. And, your cameraman also does a good job!

Great job so helpful. 👍

The boxer? No, sorry. We took our first bike trip today and had a blast. If you are looking for a beautiful bike and pedestrian trail with a creek along side, about 15 miles round trip, look up Cogswell Dam bike route. Off the 39 in Asuza!

Great presentation. Thanks

Great information. I will be interested to hear how your refrigerator change goes. We should have our rig the end of June. I’m a little nervous about the three way refrigerator.

Wow--I was wondering about the (what's appears to be) Eno Hammock on the back of the sofa. Great idea to store some soft bedding. Guess I can figure out from what you hang/attach the hammock.

On the compressor refrigerator....I'd highly recommend looking at Nova Kool. Several models are available....I have one and am very impressed.... By the way, I don't know if you have a battery monitoring system showing the current "state of charge" in real time. The Victron BMV 712 smart monitor is excellent. Good luck 👍

During one of your videos you mentioned that you knew of someone who is using the empty battery space to carry tools. I believe you may have mentioned that they used an ammo can?? I wonder if the interior of the ammo can will keep the canvas tool bag from melting?? Thank so much for all that you do for us!!!

I really like your videos on van camping, very informative. We just moved up to a M/B pleasure way ascent 2020 from a nu camp tear drop camper. We always had our pickup to put extra stuff in. I have a couple of questions on some of the items you have installed: 1) the over head rack over the front seats, great add on. Who sells them or where did you get it? 2) the small camp stove, can you grill steaks and burgers on it? We always had our small charcoal Weber grill. Who makes it? And where did you get it. 3) your spare tire rack is a must-have for cross country. What brand is it and did you install it yourself? 4) Or do you have web site that lists those items. Thank you for taking time on these Questions. From a new pleasure way newbie and fan of your videos. Bob

If only l was "younger" and had more $$$ to add some of these to my older Ascent, LOL.

Thank you for all the great info. I have a Travato ....I will look into the lift kit. Hope It works out, may I ask about how much I should expect to pay? Again thank you.

My yakima swing away bike rack is rated for 400 lbs

Hi Debbie. Went to your Amazon storefront but could not find the antenna for Verizon Mi-Fi (we also have one for remote home/camping). Could you please share where to get that? Great info as always and love your haircut!

Yet another great video, Debbie! Question: did you and John ever try to change a tire on your ascent? It seems like a pretty difficult thing to do.

In camper/RV number seven, still learning! Ha ha Wish they would build a hinged tire setup for the Ram, but none yet and struggling to figure out where I can hang it while taking the Stowaway2 box.

Loving your videos and were about to get a new Revel and I’m taking notes! DO you have an Amazon store?

I'm curious, typically if you have house batteries you have some form of battery isolator that allows your engine starting battery to draw from the house batteries if it's dead, allowing you to start the engine.

Nice job with your enhancements! You have an amazing rig!! Any plans for solar in the future? Thanks

How come your hair looks so great? You may have to do an extra hair care video for us. Mine is getting way too long and I’m living in pony tails. Cheers, take care!

Debbie, Debbie, Thank you for the series of videos has made getting started o our journey less overwhelming. I really like you amazon store. My wife and I are going to San Diego and I would like to get our van windows done while we are there. Would you give me the name of the company you used? Thank Ron & Denny

We love your channel and appreciate your work. We have 2019 Ascent with 2019 MBZ chassis. We have had 3 recalls since delivery June 2019 and then have a Fiamma F65 recall for the awning. Amazing, right? Who did you use for Fiamma recall? We need help finding a mobile technician and wondered if you have a referral for us for a mobile tech? Thanks and continued safe travels.

I was watching for a frig update...I wonder if there are many other Ascent owners with problems with the 3way? Seems like PW would offer a compressor option since they now have them on the Fords.

Hollywood ebike racks are sold out!

Happy to discover your channel. I'm in the process of buying a Plateau because of storage issues and because I'm 6'6". Is John able to stand up in your Ascent, or does he revert to bad posture? Had you considered the Plateau? Thanks! Steve

I believe you had an earlier video that had more detail about the kid's hammock install. Can you point me to it please?

Do you notice if you have any bounce with the bicycles on the hitch?

I am curious, was there any warranty issues with MB when you upgraded the suspension? Thanks.

Good morning. We just watched making the bed up. And it looks like a mission with Velcro etc. has any body tried sleeping bags with mattress. Saver underneath. Summer and winter bags. ??

With your new tires, are they noisy or do they "sing" going down the road?

Do you have solar? If so, any changes to that? What do you use for power when boondocking?

Thanks Debbie.....I have watched and really enjoyed your videos and this was a good reminder. Did you ever have to use your spare tire and emergency tire equipment on your trip to Alaska....can't remember if you mentioned that?

Why do you have to replace your windshield so many times? Why were you expecting to replace it after visiting Alaska? Just curious, thanks :o)

With regard to the Weboost versus the Verizon jet pack, and considering we are looking for an option to best stream services like Netflix,and other channels, would you still recommend the jet pack? Thank you very much, be safe and well.

Did the new all terrain tires change your gas mileage?

Another question: why send an oil sample to a lab?

I forgot to ask my second question: how do you put on the sheets?

Thanks for your help in advance. What is the brand of the new grill your are trying?

Can you please tell me the size of your anything keepers for the rear shelving you have

Tint has no effect due to chips you are mistaken.Tint goes inside chip is outside

Where did you purchase the organizer over the towel bar in the bathroom?

Would you please send me the link for your video on how to repair the shade on sliding door? My shad is falling out of that housing on the door and I need to repair it. Thank you!

is Agile offroad a MB master outfitter?
