I just wanted to say thank you so much for your attention to detail. I watched your videos on plumbing and installing all three types of tanks and, having worked for a famous youtuber who rebuilds Airstreams for a living, I have seen several things you did that were not done on those builds. Funny enough I recently got ahold of the service manual and saw that the way you did the plumbing rough-in, install and check were all correct. I'm glad your videos exist. You're the only one I've found who it seems knew what was going on with it. I recently finished my own shell-off lift and subfloor replace with 3/4" coosa board, and though I didnt use your videos as a guide on that one, I did use gantries for my own life and replace and it worked wonderfully. I saw many of your processes were the same. Great job mate, I honestly don't know why you haven't gotten a bigger subscriber base but you definitely deserve it for your work.

I can’t thank you enough for your comment here. Reading comments like this makes me realize I’m doing exactly what I should be doing and helping others out. Honestly I haven’t figured it out either other than the fact I only really use KZfaq and Instagram. Probably should change that but as of now I haven’t. Been working on a ton more videos to hopefully post soon and catch up everyone on Dusty. Thank you for checking out my videos and stopping by and as always if you ever have questions, comments definitely you can always comment here and I’ll definitely help anytime! Thank you again for the fuel that stokes this fire on this channel in hopes one day it will continually grow. For now I’ll keep dropping videos here from time to time and hopefully get more steady at posting them more consistently.

Great Video Danny. Im interested in the next step - putting those letters back on the trailer. That is where I am in the process. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I will actually be installing the letters and doing that video this next coming weekend and will have it up by the end of next Sunday specifically with those and all the other exterior pieces ahead of a/c unit install. Should have about 3 videos up that same time

Would you mind sharing links to the hanger bolts you used? Really any links to all the supplies for this tutorial would be so helpful! Thank you 🙏

At 45 seconds of the video I describe exactly which hanger bolts I used from Home Depot and how I cut them down and installed them. Here is the link direct on their webpage www.homedepot.com/p/1-4-in-20-tpi-x-2-in-Coarse-Standard-Steel-Plain-Hanger-Bolts-4-Pack-809321/204273740
