Good morning! I’m watching your videos again, a few a second or third time around. I am happy to announce that a week ago I am a pleasant way ascent 2021 owner. The rig arrives in a few weeks. It is because of you, and your love for traveling in your PE that I considered a PW. I am super excited to see my PW arrive home in Seattle from South Carolina. Debbie and Jon, thank you for being such an inspiration. I appreciate all your videos and sharing your knowledge. Sadie.

John takes orders gracefully and without a peep.

Great ideas! I will use some of them in my Lance. Love your blouse.

There is a saying, “live in your house and it will tell you what it needs to feel like your home”. That is my biggest issue in building out my shuttle bus. Don’t do too much till I launch, because I know what I need for my Gypsy Caravan. I truly appreciated all the little hacks you have shared. Thank you. Live small, travel big .... and travel safe👏🏽🇨🇦🚌🇨🇦👏🏽🤘🏽🖖🏽

So enjoy your video! Totally refreshing to have someone mature, with wisdom & common sense to give info in complete sentences & understandable grammar! Thank you for your time & delightful presentation! 👍❤️

Debbie. We are using the magnet to hold the paper towel holder in our OnTour. Yes, it is a very strong magnet. One magnet broke into small pieces when it hit the other piece of magnet so hard. I ordered your brother's folding table and chair and so many things from your Amazon Store page. The table and chair are well designed!!!

Great video. Overwhelming to think about all of these hacks.

Golf Club idea. We are scheduled to take delivery of our (new to us) 2018 Ascent (3000 miles) next week, can't wait. We will be adding the "1UP Bike Rack," Super Duty Double Model for our two Rad Mini Step-Through ebikes. Golf Club idea. I just found out today, that 1UP also have, what they call a "Cargo Add On," this platform can carry various size chests etc up to 200 lbs, with the 2 Bike set-up, and could easily be adapted to carry a "Hard Shell Golf Club Carrier." Alternatively, you could get a piece of large Diameter PVC tubing (6-7 inches range) and slide a small size canvas Golf Club Bag inside. This PVC Tube can either be strapped or bolted to an additional Bike Rail with no problem. You could also double stack the Tubes, like a Double Barrel Shot Gun if your wife plays Golf also.

We are taking delivery of our new PW Ascent next Friday. Your videos about your experiences influenced me to go with PW and the Ascent and we are re looking at your videos to figure out how to actually use it. You are the best and we appreciate you sharing all that you do.

Debbie, I can not thank you enough for your very hard work in giving solutions to us newbies to problems and issues. Your presentation is clear, cheerful and supportive. Debbie has a page on Amazon that lists all of these helpful products. I have purchased a first round of parts to set up. Debbie's videos are extremely helpful and with provide the neophyte or experienced RVer will all kinds of ideas. I think I now have the confidence and necessities to go on my first big trip. I can't imagine how much work it takes to make your videos so please accept my gratitude for your efforts. Let the fun begin!

Great to see all your improve! I strongly recommend a 'Australian Cattle Guard' will save you $5,000 to $10,000+ on 'Repairs' when you hit a Dear or any Critter on the road & you keep on going down the road! :-) Bolts Right to the Frame of your Van! You can attach Amber Fog Lights on it. I use the Fog Lights at Night v. Headlights to see great.

WOW, I thought I was the gadget queen 👸, but you blew my mind, so many kool helpful tools Thanks soooo much

Thank you so much for spending the time to make these great informative videos. I want to mention that the area above the cook top/sink is not magnetic. I have affixed our paper towel rack as you have with velcro for this reason but sometimes the velcro needs to be replaced and I will try to use half full rolls of paper towels to lessen the load so it doesn't come tumbling down on rocky roads (we are in the pre-suspension upgrade phase). Also, I changed the table top and am using one of the wooden plank bed supports as the table top. The table attachment thing-a-majig was easy to remove and screw onto the plank so now it serves dual purpose. I did paint a clear varnish on to protect it from our 7 year old. It is just the right size for a small lap top or small plates.

Great van. Also if your camera allows it; put a inexpensive polarizer over the camera and twist it to the angle that will remove the glare off the windshield. I use one for my dash camera and it works great.

It's amazing how many add on's over the time you have discovered makes your home on wheels more efficient and applicable to your personal needs. The key is taking time to discover what is needed and what works and you and John are truly appreciated for sharing with us what has worked for you. Stay safe and as always thank you for sharing.

I dream of owning a Pleasureway van when I retire. I enjoy watching your videos. I like seeing actual van modifications. You are great at explaining each idea. It is fun to watch you and John enjoy yourselves.

You're adorable and I loved hearing about all your upgrades. I'm considering a campervan and hopefully this year. It would only be a weekend or a holiday campervan. I love yours a lot thank you for this video.

Great video! I had two comments: 1) I just replaced my fridge in a Plateau TS, and though challenging, I was able to get it out. I have a FB Pleasureway Group post on it. 2) My Spyder controls touch panel kept coming on when it wasnt touched, in the middle of the night, waking me up. Turns out that the issue is a firmware one. I called Spyder, and they sent me two new panels (free), that solved the problem. No need for a cloth cover! And those are easy to install. Please keep up the great videos!

Really love all your videos Sue, they have given me some great ideas, I live in Australia qld, and have a e- bike, so many things you talk about are relevant. Loved the scenery in your Joshua Tree camping, look forward to the next one, enjoy and stay well.

We use the elbow friend after this recommendation. Thank you. In the response to the cup holders in the dash, we have found them useful for the following. A trash can ment for cup holders. And a cell phone mount for cup holder. We use the cell phone cup holder to hold our TPMS unit. It tightens down in the cup holder and it's very stable. Also works great for cell phone to video timeless and hypertime videos.

You two are definitely at a point in your vans life that custom makes sense. The refrigerator is a good Idea cant wait to hear how it turns out. We paid $125,000.00 plus tax for our 2015 Roadtrek our custom van will be $3,000.00 less than that and we will get all the things we want. I hope our desire to travel continues.

Greetings from Syracuse, NY, where spring has finally arrived. Last snow was May 12; it melted after a couple hours. Many thanks for this recap & expansion on van improvements. You look great: Rested, good haircut, pretty shirt, etc. Glad you are healthy & happy. Enjoy Joshua Tree!

Just started watching and really enjoying the content and how you present it. Thank you!

I don’t think I will ever travel to Alaska or any place for long distance in a camper, as much as I like campers, because you have to be really tech-save and I don’t have a bit of that kind of knowledge. You know so much about mechanical stuff.

You are so organized!! You definitely gave me some ideas even through I’m starting out with a Toyota Sienna minivan.

Hi, haven't commented in quite a while but we're still following! When traveling it's difficult to keep up. You and I have the same organizing gene. I love making things easier, less complicated, simpler. Thanks for all the info. We're heading up to No. Arizona soon.

The anything keeper would be nice under your upper kitchen cabinets for a spice rack.

There are many difference from my old 2008 Ascent. Being 10 yrs older, I don't worry about drilling holes, lol. But still good deals l can apply to my older Ascent in some area. Keep it up

Great ideas and solutions. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for all your tips! We are considering getting a Pleasure Way Lexor, and if we do, i'll definitely be coming back to this video for some things to make storage easier!!

Love these Greatest Hits mod videos! For your golfing friend... We carry 2 sets of clubs permanently in our Ascent. We walk so smallest & lightest bags: mine is Mizuno carry / stand bag & his is a Ping Moonlight. They fit in the ‘garage.’ If they leave their bed down as we do, they could also live crosswise in the footwell of sofa. Thanks for compiling your mods and hacks. Hope we’re all on the road soon!

Thanks for sharing~ great ideas! The golf clubs will easily fit in the garage portion of the vehicle. I’ve seen many videos of van conversions where people even have room for bicycles and skis.

Thankyou for sharing all of your clever ideas! Your sweater is very pretty too.

Great ideas. We like our Ascent too. We are always looking for modifications and your channel is a great resource. Thanks for all your efforts.

Thank you for your thoughtful video with great ideas. We are eager to hear about the refrigerator change out. No unnecessary travel in Washington state! Hopefully we can get out soon! Safe and healthy travels!

Well done again! Very clever and helpful upgrades. I appreciate your Thorough and honest review of products. It helps to narrow down the search of so many products out there. Thank you so much!

GREAT video I picked up several tips i will use.. Thank you!!

How did you like Joshua Tree? I rode my motorcycle from Florida to there in the month August a few years ago. Next time would do it by RV !

I installed the Vancillary shelf last week (very nice) and we’re about half way through the fabrication & installation of the wam window curtains. 😀 We’re looking to getting on the road pretty soon. Thanks for sharing your mods with us!

ya'll are very organized

Great ideas! Thanks! (Jane)

Wonderful hacks. Thank you

The drink cozy rattle so funny

Cute haircut Deb, I luv it!

Thanks Debbie!! Great ideas and tips. So many good ones, I took notes while watching. I can most of these to my RoadTrek easily.

Thanks for your interesting ideas. I love seeing people using their Rvs as great "piggy banks". After more than 40 years of camping (tents, trailers, van) one room in my basement is needed for storage although I throw or give away quite a lot of my equipment from time to time. Why is there always some item/tool better than the one before??? - Good luck with the replacing of your fridge. Greetings from Bavaria, Germany.

Great ideas! we really like weathertech liner too. Thank you for sharing 😊

This couple is on a whole nother level! 10 Thumbs way up.Thanks for the cool ideas. Thinking of putting a treadmill in my van for bad weather woes. Would a low profile treadmill work? WDY think?

Love the two of you! Wonderful ideas too! Thank you for sharing! I have a 2011 Pleasure-Way. MommaFaye 🌺

Thanks for the helpful tips. Love the mods, gadgets, and your vibe.

i've always wanted follow your foot steps but my current situation wont let me to it yet , i always watch your videos and id like to thank you and know that your efforts are inspiring me, giving me hope and they're really bvery informative. thank you so much! keep up the good work, take care always and God bless :-)

Only 50$ 🧐😂. Great tips n gadgets ! Wonderful.

Debbie, you are the female version of MacGyver. You rock!

Great video Debbie. I learned a few more things. 😃

I'm in Huntington Beach as well...I see you are at Bolsa Chica!!! Nice job here.

Just found your channel. Just got a small very small camper and looking for ideas to organize and you have a bunch. That little trash thing.... already ordered. Keeping the link to your store because you have a lot for good inexpensive tips for making a small space work.

I'm building my van rv and using some of your great ideas!!! Thank you and be safe.

26:00 Pepper Spray - you cannot bring into Canada any spray marketed for “attack/defense against people” however you can bring it if it is marketed for “attack/defense against dogs/animals”.

I love that you put all theses things in a couple of videos. Great tips and I can’t wait to see what I can do or what I need. Unfortunately I haven’t hit the road yet. I was going to start in April and travel through August. Well obviously that plan didn’t work out. I have a van but don’t really know what I’m going to need yet. I did buy the warm window coverings fabric. I had to take an unexpected trip to Missouri in January and the fabric Im Sure helped immensely since I traveled through snow. I didn’t have time to sew coverings on the fabric I just cut it out and used the magnets you suggested to hang them using the metal window frames. Thanks again for your informative channel. Stay safe and healthy 🚐😷❤️💐

Love your video. Lots of great ideas

We just bought our Lexor. I was going to add the Fiamma roof rack and put our Thule sky box on top for golf clubs, Coleman pack n go BBQ etc.

Thank you so much for this Debbie. So helpful and informative. You have the best rig. One day hope to have the same!

Thank you so much for all of your tips! I am a newbie with a Roadtrek Zion SRT and will hopefully make my van as organized as yours. Stay safe and thanks again!

Hello ! I just picked up my 2018 Pleasureway Ascent and have watched a number of your videos and love many of your ideas. You showed the Pikavo Security Screen, and I'd like to know if that is ordered already made ro fit exactly on that screen. I'd like more information if you don't mind ! Thank you. It is 100 degrees here in Portland and obviously a horrible time to test out the darn Dometic fridge. I watched your other video specifically about the Fridge , with great interest as well as trepidation. Im new to RVing , and wish I had been aware of the potential problems with cooling to acceptable level. Thank you so much for your videos !!!!

Cool ~ thanks

So another option for golf clubs and additional storage a class B is a hard shell golf case strapped to a Hollywood bike carrier. The case will take golf clubs or works as extra storage for chairs, etc. I like the idea of keeping the heavy duty Hollywood bike rack on the back of my van for protection against anything that might damage the rear of the vehicle. Also it can carry the golf case and one bike. I'll email the pics and Amazon link.

I loved your ideas and improvements so I subbed ... mainly because you are gorgeous :o)

Thanks for the hacks and as usual a great job on the video. As you know I have incorporated some of them in our Lexor. Have a safe Memorial Day weekend!

Great tips !

Be careful with that double trigger pepper spray hand gun style because I was accused that it was a weapon and they took it away at one of the national parks which I won’t mention in California.

Great video! It’s given me lots ideas to use in my Motorhome 👍🏼

Found your channel because we’re buying a Pleasure Way, not sure which one yet, they’re so hard to find right now. We’re looking at a Lexor tomorrow. 🤞🏻 we really like your videos, you do a very good job. I love all your organizing tips and I’m looking forward to looking at some of the travel vlogs too. Great outfits too, Im so curious where you got this top from that you’re wearing in this video? (Sorry not van related)

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for all your upgrades in this video. My husband and I just purchased an Ascent 2021.5, and are working through problems and with a big change overs not mention. Please let listeners know Pleasureway eliminated all the extentions on the counter top for food prep. It is not mentioned in any material we read or saw. However with the compressor refrigerator there was room for a food pantry, but no place to prep food. Still trying to figure that logic out. Debbie would you post type of glue used to put magnets on the sides of the panel for bolsters. Thank you again for your inspiring videos.

Great video. Try nano tape instead of the magnets. It holds really well and is removable and washable. You can use it anywhere.

Thanks for another great video!!!

Thank you for all your videos. You and John are an inspiration on many levels. Question: I noticed on one of your videos that you have a shade (Sunbrella material?) on your Fantastic fan. Did you make it or purchase it? Did you use Contact Cement for the velcro on the ceiling? Does it really stick over time?

Love your hair

Dianne, hello, nice stuff, that dashboard cover , on my 91 TAURUS, was UNBEARABLE, I like you just put a piece of fabric, but design, made it fall until I flung a readymade heavy fabric cover held on with 3 pieces of double stick tape , new car is 90 % better Then that ‘refrigerator skinny spigot container,,behind your seat is great, but , is your potable water filtered? Or do you have a ‘travel sized BRKEY FILTER ?, as hey say, ‘’necessity is the MOTHER of all ideas’ as you found out in time. Great ides overall, do stat well &safe, we are still on LOCKDOWN here, in N.J. going to COSTCO, hoping to find what we need Cheers FROM NJ🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you for these amazing Hacks it’s incredible how you organized everything and the little magnets that are powerful at something new Mollys wanting to find new ways for storage you having credible designs thank you so much for sharing I’d love to know about your curtains and if you made them or if you ordered them both of you having a beautiful day many blessings to both of you

Bring the clubs, rent the bag.

I learned from one of your blogs that the Ascent didn’t come with a spare tire. I get that with hi-performance cars like the one I’m driving (less weight = faster lap time). But man! $150K van and no spare? How in the world do you venture out to boon dock with peace of mind... oh yeah van comes with roadside assistance right. 🤣

I love your videos, for both the travel and tips! How do you like the shower head? Our outdoor shower didn’t come with a shower hose and head. Thanks!

Completely off topic! I love your shirt!!! Where did you get it??? You're a great speaker, informative vid, very pleasant.

I don’t know about dimensions but maybe a Thule cargo carrier on the roof might fit the golf clubs in it.

You did a pretty good job of describing and demonstrating the accessories in your van except, except, for those rechargeable fans. WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE?? We have had to resort to a 110 volt fan which is big and tends to draw a lot of battery power. Larry

RV's are just like "Sailboats". The extra's cost 2-4 times the cost of the original price. The Shower is where I'd store them. It's the leased used place in the small RV's.

Hi Great video . Thanks for the tips.

Wondering How you settled on the isotherm 115 refrigerator. There are several others available such as the Nova Kool 4500. About the same price and size and is what Winnabago is currently using in some of their Travados. I have a 2020 Ascent and am looking at doing the refrigerator change. It's a shame the Dometics don't work very well. But on hot days they allow temps to go up to near 45 degrees in the refrigerator. I tried both internal and external fans with no luck. Looking forward to any thing you come up with that helps, thanks for the research

What do you use to affix the round magnet onto the window? I like the idea of using a magnet to keep the bolster from moving during driving instead of using the Velcro! Thanks! So many good ideas!

So... Many... Modifications! I had a couple of questions... At 9 minutes you showed an "indentation" behind the drivers seat. Would that have been so you could lean the chair back more? At 31 minutes, you mentioned a ceramic heater for winter. Are you having issues with the heating system in the Pleasure Way? Thanks as always for all the information! Be seeing you!

Did you replace the initial method of attaching the warm window curtains with the neodymium magnets and if so did you enlarge the covering to reach the metal on the coach? Thank you for all you do to make my RV life so much easier.

You need a magnetic paper towel holder. Amazon has several choices.

Great video. You mentioned camping in the winter. Don’t you have to worry about the water tanks freezing?

Once again, I learn so much from you. Thank you. I’m still trying to figure out what we want to do about bedding. What are you doing now? Someone recommended RV Superbag. Have you looked at this? Thank you

Store the club's under the van. Lol

Luv U guys!

Thank you SO much!!

How much gas/diesel consumption does your campervan consume? Is it true to the manufacture (~18mpg)?

As a followup question, I would like your views on a spare tire rack. You had one installed but I did get where it was from. My research suggests that Owl seems good and it includes a ladder to the roof. Have you ever really needed to get to the roof on your Ascent? Just trying to figure out if that makes sense. Thanks, Jim
