Seriously- THIS is what I mean about upgrading an RV!!! Thank You, Brian!!!! All of these changes- individually- are life changing. All combined, it takes a 'borderline' RV, and makes it gorgeous. The only benefit of the original coach was the big size, but, all of the inside changes: couches, table, FLOORING, in conjunction with the suspension upgrade, make it genuinely a treasured trip & memory maker. The off grid capability (expensive!!!) changes trips from limited to unlimited (mostly). Priceless. Love the hidden stinky slinkies too.

@calliejohnson7871 2 года назад

I did the upgrade sway bars front and back on my first Class A. I bought a 2020 Jayco 40" last year. I did not take it home until these upgrades were done. It's the best safety addition you can ever do. No more dreading the right side wanting to go to the shoulder of the road and like you said, no more worry about bigger rigs. I travel in the middle lane.

@jwp2166 4 года назад

I liked the storage idea you had for your hose so much that I installed a "Stinky Slinky Quiver" in our coach this afternoon. Frees up a lot of room in the water compartment and gives it a much cleaner feel. Thanks.

@RVwithTito 4 года назад

Awesome. You got right on it. Glad you liked the result.

@andypadvorac3444 3 года назад

We did the exact same suspension upgrade to our Minnie Winnie 22R and LOVE IT! Before, I was nervous to take my eyes off off the road to glimpse at a side mirror because the rig could have started leaving it's lane that quick. It felt squirrely. With the Bilstein shocks and Hellwig sway bars front and rear, it almost drives as well as our minivan. Really! It is safer and longer days are more enjoyable. I wasn't sure if the difference was real - I did all the work myself so I really wanted the difference to be real. But the big test was my wife driving it. within 30 seconds behind the wheel she was astonished at how much better it was to drive. So we highly recommend this upgrade on any rig!

@beauperson4298 4 года назад

Thank you Tito! I just installed the Hellwig anti-sway bars in my 2009 31' Jayco class C, and what a huge difference. Now my wife is more comfortable with driving it. If you're ever in Utah, hit us up.

@RVwithTito 4 года назад

Glad you had that experience too. To this day I'm still amazed how much better it is.

@2-old-Forthischet 4 года назад

I tow a travel trailer with a full size cargo van. Earlier this year, I had an off road shop install a two inch front end leveling kit so it's not nose down all the time along with a pair of Fox off road shocks in the front. Driving the van now is much more predictable and firm. It's not a road racer but handles very well now, especially on the dirt roads. Later this year, I had another shop install a posi-traction unit to my rear axle to help when driving on poor roads. I installed Hellwig helper springs on the back axle to help with the tongue weight of the trailer. Just this week, I had a front hitch installed on my van. You never know when it may come in handy!

@RVwithTito 4 года назад

Those are nice mods. It's easy to just focus on cosmetic stuff. The mods you do not see are often more significant.

@bobgil3464 4 года назад

Just found your channel, and I'm pretty sure I subscribed before you started talking LOL. My husband and I are full-timers in a stationary RV. I'm very excited to see more of your videos. You are an excellent presenter, and I'm sure we're going to learn a lot from you. We're getting started on our second year, and having purchased an older rig from an auction house we have a lot of work to do. My husband is a mechanic, and after I show him this video, I'm positive he's going to want to make your #1 upgrade, too! Looking forward to more videos! - Erin

Great info. We have made some of these already (before seeing your video) and agree that these changes are huge. I will be checking out the rest of your channel. Thank you! Our next project for the RV is installing automatic leveling jacks. Often times we get to our location late or in weater so being able to push a button to get level will be super helpful.

@JustPlainCommonSense 4 года назад

Using fence post tubes to make your hoses disappear is an awesome idea!

@RVwithTito 4 года назад

I did that very long ago. Each time I dump the tanks I still think it's awesome. Makes for a quick job too.

@donaldsmith6717 4 года назад

I'm in my 96 travel trailer RV full time. Everything works but two years ago when I started living in my RV I upgraded my RV water heater to a tank less water heater. It runs on the propane just as my old one did. The new unit is hung on the outside of the RV just above the old tank heater door. With the old tank heater removed the new tankless unit just stores in the same space. It happens to be under the rear bunk bed. The connections were simple and easy to connect. Works like a charm and no keeping the 6 to 10 gallons (they vary) hot all the time and absolutely no need for warming up. Temp and flow is fully adjustable. It stows in a matter of one minute and no disconnection is required. Also when winterizing you don't have to drain it when you keep the pipes full of RV anti-freeze. If you like unlimited hot water this is the best DIY.

@roncameron9541 4 года назад

Thanks for the tips on the suspension!

@georgekane1985 4 года назад

I have a class B, Winnebago Travato, built on the pro master 3500 chassis, high top. I have the rear anti-sway bar replaced - what a difference! However I didn't stop there. I installed front and rear sumo springs, which aren't really springs at all but a foam like plastic. The ride difference is enormous. It's now a pleasure to drive!

@RVwithTito 4 года назад

I may do the Sumo air Springs at some point too. I just haven't had the need since doing the others. Sounds like a lot of class b owners are doing suspension upgrades like me.

Most RVs are made for highest profit and rather haphazerdly, so being handy and knowing how to do DIY stuff is a great way to make the most of your RV, and save yourself cost and hassle with the RV repair shops. 👍

I found the biggest improvement in regard to safety was the Safe-T-Plus RV Steering Stabilizer, improved handling and will help with a front tire blowout, easy to install. Best money I've spent on my RV so far.

@RVwithTito Год назад

That's great. Lots of options out there to give you a safer ride. Best to just try one at a time until you're satisfied.

@Trx450Rider01 3 года назад

Great upgrade for my 31 foot class c was putting a tune into it. So much better in the mountains now.

@herb7877 4 года назад

110% agree with #1 upgrade. Years ago when I had bought a new 32' Class A MH. We took a maiden voyage ~300 miles. In a windy situation it was rocking side to side and porpoising. We were getting ready for a X-Country trip and I was getting a little uptight. I ended up talking to an older experienced Rv'r who told me about Bilsteins & sway control arms. I didn't think it would really make a difference but what the heck, whats another $1k. Did it and a world of difference. 14k successful problem free miles later I'm still a firm proponent & suggest it to all and have added to each replacement. Not sure why they don't just do it right at the factory for a few extra bucks as a standard feature.

@RVwithTito 4 года назад

You're right. It should be standard equipment for sure. Glad you got it done 👍👍Thanks for sharing your experience.

I tried improving our suspension with Torklift Stable Loads, but as our truck camper was so heavy, we ended up adding 2 leafs to each of the rear leaf set adding the equivalent of 1,800 lb payload capacity.it made all the difference! Great video. Thanks for sharing! Christian

@cathyann8093 4 года назад

Last month, I drove my Class C from Apache Junction, AZ, to Moose Lake, MN. There were some high winds along the way on I-35, especially when driving through Kansas up to northern Iowa. I have Bilstein shocks on it, and the driving through that area was still white-knuckle. For sure, I am now going to have the Helwig anti-sway bars installed. Thank you for talking about this!

@hillcountryhick4639 4 года назад

will forward the vids on the suspension to the hubby. I drive the 28footer and know that "whiteknuckling" thing is real. Best thing I've added to our C class? A wooden board set-up to cover the steps at night. Don't want to fall into the stepwell, that's for sure! I've already got recliners and our J-shape dining table is a good workspace and a good nightbed for our 3 dogs. (Coachmen Leprechaun 260DS)

@RVwithTito 4 года назад

I've been intending on adding a step cover too for several years. Not to prevent falling in, but to add 3 more square ft to the floorplan :) Maybe I'll get to it soon. I'm planning on automating it though so I can press a button and up comes the step. Thanks for reminding me and sharing your mods. Cheers!

@mikevp2 3 года назад

The biggest impact upgrade I did on our 2000 Tioga was a backup camera with a 7" screen. I wired the transmitter to the running lights, so I could use it "always on" as a rear view while driving. (This seems to have become fairly common on newer rvs.)

Just finished the DIY phase of my suspension upgrade on my Mercedes Sprinter-based C. Test drove it today. I installed a rear Helwig sway bar and Sumo Helper springs. (You can’t replace the front sway bar on a Sprinter. It’s major surgery.) The Bilstein shocks are on order. I will have the struts installed and the front end aligned. Can’t wait. There is already a big difference in the way it drives. Highly recommended. You have done some great upgrades. Thanks for sharing.

I really enjoy your RU-vid channel and straight forward, common sense ideas. We’re new to RVing, after renting a couple while living in Canada we decided after resettling in US we wanted to buy a travel trailer to tow behind my pickup. We put 2k miles on last year, this year will be close to 6k. Thanks for all your ideas!

@jacktseng4909 3 года назад

Interestingly enough, your #1 upgrade was my very first upgrade on my 2015 Thor 24SR. I installed the the rear sway bar and the rear shocks. Mercedes Sprinter chassis came with the front sway bar. The 18 wheeler effects diminished quit a lot after the upgrade. However, one drawback of this mod is I loose the "independent" suspension. So, both rear wheels will react to a bump at same time and causing the rear wheels to dampening at same time. Initially, this effect kind of bothered me, over time, you get use to it. Overall, it definitely is a great upgrade. I discussed this design issue with factory engineers. I suggested that they may want to add a heavy duty spring in the middle of the sway bar to regain the independent suspension while improving the side to side stability.. One of my most rewarding upgrade is to add a directional wifi receiver/antenna on the roof. I get Xfinity signals from a mile away. We always have internet for email, online streaming. The antenna can be folded down during traveling. The best receiver/antenna is ubiquity nano-station M2 that I would definitely recommend it. Last couple weeks, I am working on improving the winter mode camping experience. For example, I am designing a water looping system that will automatically loop the "entire" hot/cold water circulation when water pipe temperature going below say 37F and start the demand pump periodically or the pipe temperature regain with 110v heater in on position. The total cost of this design is about $20 material including a micro-processor board ($5) with built-in 20 Amp relay and LED display from Amazon.. I do love your new flooring however...

Very nice. I was really expecting tips along the lines of "put your shoes in plastic bins" but these are all legitimate upgrades, very impressed with your ingenuity. We have done a lot of work on the cabinetry in our kitchen area. Above the sink was originally a microwave, a crappy stereo and a huge shelf for a CRT television. We didn't use the microwave so it was totally useless. Now we made a 3 door cabinet and it totally changed the efficiency of the area, plus it looks a lot better, too! On the other side we replaced a cabinet that had space for 5 doors but only had 3 with a cabinet that has 4 larger doors and built in LED lighting underneath. Much more functional than from the factory.

@dennismoericke9890 4 года назад

We have a 2014 Bay Hill 5th wheel with an on demand water heater from Atwood. Without sufficient pressure and volume the heater won’t work. The original water system was 1/2 pex with plastic fittings. To prevent loss of pressure due to neighboring RVs use while we were in the shower I always used my fresh water tank. I also believe all the water that enters my RV needs to be filtered,all of it even that used for flushing black tanks etc. To set up my water system at a new camp site was a 30 minute job at least with both a sentiment and biological filter and several Y valves to send water to the normal inlet, the fresh water tank, the black tank flush and an extra port for outside use. It took me several trips to Home Depot and 4 days sitting in the basement of the 5th wheel but now most of the primary plumbing is 3/4 pex with brass fittings (a lot more flow) and both filter housing are mounted inside. I just connect one water hose and everything else is onboard I just reach inside and turn a valve. This includes the black tank flush. All I have left to do is label the valves so that others can operate the water system if need be.

You have certainly made us look into a class C instead of an A. You are very talented and have created some great upgrades. Thank you for sharing.

Hello! I love the things you have done! I also took out the Jack knife sofa and replaced it with theater seating. I would like to put the cabinet in the area wear the dinette is. Your Lifted TV cabinet would be perfect!

It was a big job, but well worth it.

Love all of your upgrades and really love the theater recliners. Our stock theater recliners are so cheap and want to get electric. I clicked on the link but that one doesn’t look like it has the cup holder on side with button to recline. 🤔

I just discovered your channel and look forward to watching more of these. Very good, to-the-point videos.

Great job with your living area upgrade, we did something similar with our Winnebago TT, gone is the space hogging booth dinette and uncomfortable jackknife sofa

@RVwithTito 4 года назад

Way to go...make it your own. Enjoy.

We removed our couch, but we are at a different stage of life... in its place went a playpen & a chair for nursing! Haha. Those jackknife sofas are uncomfortable space hogs! Haha. Dinette had to stay, we needed to bolt down car seats ;)
