I Made Some Changes (but now I have a problem) 

Spray the mold areas with fine mist of hydrogen peroxide and let it dry before you sand it. Then repeat after sanding. A restoration specialist told me that is the best way to kill/retard mold in homes that are flooded. I used it on my mom's baseboards after her hot water heater broke and flooded her house. She hasn't had any problems with mold since.

The electrical problem is likely a poor connection somewhere that's either corroded or the prongs on a fuse are loose from overheating and also check connections for deep corrosion that has traveled up in a wire where a terminal is crimped to the wire. The other common problem is a loose or corroded common ground wire on the DC system. Good Luck on finding the problem, Take Care

Looks great! I live vicariously through channels like you, Mav and Camping with Steve! Such beautiful views.

Getting close to 100K Jon!! 🙏 well deserved 🙂

Once again your soundtrack and cinema technique is impeccable.

Jonathan the dark spots on your cabinets is the varnish. What happens is that moisture, dirt and grime gets under the surface of the varnish and causes these spots. You can try cleaning them with a spic-n-span solution or Mr. Clean and soft 4 ott steel wool.

I was going to say, move the curtain from over the stove! And you realized it and moved it. Please get a fire extinguisher.

Love that you don’t mind enjoying your camper while it is still a work in progress. That is what a lot of us do! 😊

I love your new camper. Hope you enjoy a million great adventures in her. That's the first thing I did in my truck camper -- remove all the window treatments. I bought blackout curtains, cut them to fit and hand stitched them as I don't have a sewing machine. The new curtains go from top to bottom and side to side over the windows and completely covering the surrounding wall space. I did this on all windows except over my kitchen counter as didn't want to risk the stove catching the curtains on fire. Instead, I covered a section of refectix with the same blackout curtains. That way it lies flat against the wall away from any flames. Again, that piece covers the window and the surrounding wall area. I just remove it during the day to let light in. Truly makes the interior seem so much larger. I chose a light gray color. The best change, however, was sacrificing a clothes closet to install a custom made small wood stove. That looks like cooking grease on your cabinets over the stove. Try using some Awesome and a gentle scrubby on it before sanding it down. 😀

Well if you ever want to change the color of those cabinets or wood inside use the rustoleum transformation kit. Fell onto your page couple months ago and keep it going bro I'm hooked. Got me thinking I want to try the same camper life all the way in NJ!!

You should really have a backup light source like a couple of led flashlights

Jonathan, I highly😮 recommend getting some Anderson leveling blocks to assist in leveling your rig. Also, you may wanna buy a roll of reflectix at Home Depot or Lowes, cut out sizes to cover your windows and vent to help with insulation. Also, tear out that vent and get yourself a fantastic fan. It’s definitely worth the money…..p.s…don’t allow any food particles, grease or juices to go into your grey tank. Continue to wash your dishes with the wipes and only allow soapy dish water to go into your grey holding tank. Grey tanks can smell just as bad as black tanks if you’re not careful.

I just love waking up in the morning and in the woods ahhhh

I really like how you produce your videos. Cinematic shots but you still keep it very real life and make it feel like a conversation with us.

Jonathan, your renovations are ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!! You did such a wonderful job, Jonathan. I wish I had your skill!

Another video that I haven't had a chance to get to, but loved! 🤗Enjoy more adventures!🏞☕

First thing I did the with my 2014 trvl trlr was ditch the valance and curtains and reupholster the bench seats.

Best part of RV videos is always the cooking 🍳 whether it's outside in sub zero blizzards or inside, everything always looks delicious, they all become chef's 👨‍🍳. Love Kimchi.

"there's a spot out there and it payed off" ! That spot was super epic..wow

Missed you last week. You are part of my Sunday. :) Good to see you back. Wiring problems suck. Has to be one main wire giving you the problems though since every light goes out at the same time. Good luck with it. Changes look great.

The holes in the walls can be treated shut with just some cotton ballls packed in the holes and drench it with super glue, then sand it smooth after dry

The wrinkled varnish on the wood does not look like mold. It's just from years of high temps and low temps with moisture (condensation). They make a special soap (Murphy Oil Soap) that will do a fantastic job at cleaning it. You may want to lightly sand it after just to get rid of all the wrinkles. It was so exciting to see all the lights on! For a moment?! I hope you get the electrical figured out! Once again, Thank you for sharing!

Simplicity at its finest. Love you attitude and the videos. Keep it up brother, appreciate your hard work.

start with checking fuses then check connections + corrosion check then re-seat all the connections possible then test again. You could get stress after that. Don't get it too early!

I love that camper van.he makes things look easy.

Loose wires start fires

The first sign of electrical issue was a dead battery after charging

My girlfriend and I live in a 1996 rv that we remodeled. Same exact hardware on the cabinets 😂 we also had the experience of being told everything works and being excited to just get going with it and finding out later a LOT didn't work.... But that's life

The cooking may be my favorite part. I haven't had kimchi in a very long time, but that stuff looks great. In one scene from your morning, I was reminded how we have a guy around here who has a truck camper that looks like a tiny log cabin, with a literal back porch!

On Friday, I was headed to Garibaldi on 217 and what do I see? Yes, that’s right a Bigfoot truck camper drive on bye. Cheers.

The camper and your dinner look fantastic ! Well done !

Whooo! (After coffee) - cracks me up.

So sweet! Can’t tell you how I hyped I am for you’re winter videos resort camping🙌🏼

Nice upgrades! Mt. Hood looks fabulous. Best wishes fixing the electrical issues. It's always something. 😊

This is the first timer I've seen one of your videos. I'm glad it came across my feed. I'll go back and see what else you have been up to. See ya down the road!

Love the new setup. The changes really made a huge difference! Bro, you NEED to look at the electrical. Huge fire hazard not to. You probably just have a loose wire. Follow the leads from the battery to whatever junction they hook up to.

Great recipe. Looks delish! Love your new camper.

I really love the changes you made. It looks more modern and homey for you. Great job on the video. I loved the cooking music, and so glad you moved the curtain. Please make it a practice every time to move it before you cook. 🙏🏾Stay safe and thank you for the experience.

I love the entire remodel. Thanks for moving the curtain. I was about to have a panic attack. Even if they don't catch on fire (are they flammable material?), they'll get nasty dirty so close to the stove. Big fan here.

Jonathan thank you for Delicious Meal you prepared and the scenery is spectacular.

You should put up some ambient colored light all around? Nice soft glows. These lights make it really nice, very calming moods.

Ya, get your electrical sorted out and start using that fridge. Should also have a fan above the stove to pull out all the cooking moisture??? I have a fantastic fan in my camper and it really moves air if you open a window.. Lookin fwd to more adventures..

You are off to a better start than most. Best suggestion I have for you is to never touch mold without gloves and to replace the cloth curtains with metal blinds where your stove is. Every RV I've looked at has metal blinds near that area to avoid a possible fire. I have seen an entire kitchen and living room burned to ash before the fire department was able to put out the fire. Stay Safe!!! Continue on your great journey! Best of luck to you.

Hey Jonathan, I totally enjoy your videos. I also have a 1993 Bigfoot C6-11 truck camper. It took me a long time to find it up here in Ontario Canda. I have it on the back of a 1992 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 4.0 L. If you need any info on the camper, I have the manuals for the appliances and electrical converter. Pm me for more info glad to help you out anyway I can. Cheers enjoy your camper and welcome to the Bigfoot Club.

I love the way you travel . We are going to start the way you do it just do it we get good ideas on cooking to take care be safe . Enjoy

Great job with the upgrades. Sometimes it is the little things that make a big difference. Have a wonderful week and good the electrical issues. Mary💕Fred

What a great set up. It looks so much more open without the valances over the window. I'd recommend if you're solo to cut the table in half so you can have more of a lounge area with a table. Really opens up the isle. You'll figure out the electrical, looks like something close to the battery isn't secured well enough.

In a bathroom I had with some mold or mildew spots I used TSP detergent in water to wash with a scrubby pad and then rinsed with a little bleach in water and let dry, then lightly sand a little before painting. There are primers/paints with a mildew/mold/moisture resistance in the paint. Might need some mold or moisture resistant primer first depending on the paint and material you are painting over to prevent the mold or mildew from returning. There may be better materials now, this was over 10 years ago. But it worked, no more mold or mildew none ever returned.

It might be just years of grime built up. If it was mold, I would think you would be able to smell it. There's a product called Krud Kutter Gloss Off. It's a great cleaner prep for painting. Just wipe it on till you achieve the level of cleanliness you want, wait about 15 minutes and paint away. So far, the only place I have been able to find it is at a Dun Edwards paint store. Make sure you get the Gloss Off, not the Cleaner. I prepped my whole kitchen and laundry room cabinets with this stuff. Much easier than sanding. It even takes off greasy stains on the walls and appliances without harming them.

p.s. get 120 and 180 grit sand paper for your sander. i used to work custom kitchen cabinets for s.w.i. for a few years. so if you have any questions. just ask.

Recently I have gone Keto, after a lifetime of eating rice, soy sauce, fresh veggies, etc. and I am really enjoying watching you prepare the foods that I am no longer eating so frequently, lol! oh, and the rest of the video about your camper is wonderful too, I just realized why I was really enjoying the cooking the most, lol!

Glad to see the improvements. Fried rice looks awesome!

Brighter fresher looking good job. Sorted or shorted out. Get a multi meter and run the wires out.

Awesome dinner Jonathan, and yea your right people shouldn't knock it till they tried it. Stay safe out there and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas

I always love your videos and I like your changes, they're simple and modern. I think any mild painting over the cabinets or the walls is fine, and the hardware is appropriate. For acoustics and insulation, I've used carpet tiles on the walls vs painting, some patterns resemble textured wallpaper, and work nicely. Once you add a backsplash to the kitchen area, utensils and spices, it'll be really cool. The nice thing is, it has good bones and a SOLID spacious design. It's practical layout doesn't require major modifications, there you're lucky. Unfortunately electrical issues are a pain in any expenditure, but I'm sure you'll fix it to satisfaction. I always install battery operated lights as well just in case as they provide the same lighting. There are several LEDs that produce a great deal of light that recharge with USB. It'll be interesting to see your winter sport videos because I too like the cold weather. Also, enjoy your fishing videos, but my favorite is ALWAYS your cooking 😋 Yum...!

The food looks good. You need people around you that like spices in their food. The camper is coming along. 👍🏽

Great Vid, as I've said before, you are the king of B roll, makes yr story telling so great,

That dish is AMAZZZXXZINGGG!!!!! Yum I had a Korean stepmom for awhile and grew up with dishes like that SO BOMB

Starting to really come together. Love it. Dinner looks delicious. I would really eat that.

I been camping outta my truck for 20 weeks Colorado and California and now back home in the springs in Colorado It’s freezing temps in the higher country but I still plan to go up this next week for 4 days 😊 can’t get enough This Is Livin 🤙🏽

It must be a wonderful thing to take off in the camper and find some peace! God is so great, we live in such a beautiful counrty! Enjoy it.

What happened to your fridge?

Clean it with an antimicrobial and once it’s dry you can encapsulate it bullseye or killz. I do mold remediations for a living and that’s the best way to do it without actually taking something completely.

Those cabinets are suitable I would paint them and replace the floors and that's it

Ohhh, bummed about your electric. Hope you find the problem. Your "home away from home" is looking great. Improvements were... well, an improvement! I love your sweet kitty.

Love the updates, makes the indoor vibe light and airy! Hope you find the electrical issue quickly and it's an easy fix.

cabinet dark areas: steel wool + restor-a-finish walnut

We call that dish in Hawaii "Loco Moco" and I love it!! It has a uniquely delicious taste. Love your camper, Jonathan. Pretty cool rig.

See you out there dude!

Mold: My guess, cooking with no ventilation causing condensation, then left in hot sun, would cause mold. sand, use Kills Primer and Kills Paint. Cleaning plate, silver and pans: Get a spray bottle of apple vinegar for final spay and dry wipe. Vinegar is a natural anti bacterium.

I'm glad you finally have a table to eat on. now make that pass thru from the front to the camper area and fix the power issue 👍

Little changes make a great difference! Looks good.

Awesome. Be careful with the drape so close to the stove. Push it away from the stove when cooking. Beautiful scenery .

Looks great and airy! Your dish was beautiful!

That 1st dish you made was right up my alley. Looks like you know your way around the range.

The camper looks good. It looks brighter with the new curtains. I love Kimchi fried rice. I make it all the time. 😁

really liked 👍 the mods you did to inside of camper. much lighter now John hope the wiring is just a bad connection somewhere! BEAUTIFUL SPOT 😍

As you were starting to cook on the stove, I was yelling at the screen: the curtains, move the curtains! So glad you caught yourself.

Really enjoyed your video. Have a beautiful, and blessed day.

Looks better than it did . I hope you get the electric fixed soon take care happy travels be safe

HI, Jonathan. I'm thoroughly enjoying your camping trips - some awesome landscapes. Greetings, from a follower, in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

My mom is Japanese and boy oh boy fried rice sounds great right now. I love the little bit you have done so far DUDE

For the Mold-go to a big box builder supply-buy a bottle of Concrobium-great stuff, works well

I recommend replacing the lights with led -- it will save battery life. And take off the tailgate to save weight and install doors on both sides of the back of the camper for gear storage.

🙋🏽‍♀️Hiiiiiiii J~Mann Soooooo great to see you and the new home 🤗💯let’s roll out 🚐🙏🏽

Aaaawww to be there watching the sunset....

I wouldn’t sand mold. Use a good cleaner best I’ve found is Lysol Bleach multi purpose cleaner green bottle do it a couple times, wipe with damp cloth let it dry before painting or staining.

Looks like it was a good time even though the electric thing happened. Dinner looked delish! I don't know what kimche is...but I'd be up to try it! Loved the dinner mood music-it was perfect!! The camper is looking good!

Clean the contacts for the fuses and replace all of them.

Liked the updated changes you made. Nice neutral color and brings in a nice amount of light with the window toppers gone. Maybe put some mini hooks for hanging up mood lighting or holiday lights... holiday time is almost here again.

Great changes and your food looked awesome!

Great stuff, curtains over the stove NOT a good idea! I think your camper is going to be great!

I'm going to try your recipe as I love Kimchi. Another great video young man and I love your camper. Coming at you from Southern Oregon

I always love spending time with you, Jon! Thanks for the great video, and for sharing your life and adventures with those of us who are more stationary.

Ok. I was wrong. That looks better. So light and airy! Love it!

Looks great! Nice job on the updates!

Jonathan, I think it would be a nice touch to add some kind of decorative, but functional border around the back wall of the stove area. Something heat resistant and protective. It helps with food splashes as well. Just a thought.

It’s either a poor connection, rusted out terminal or wiring is broken or burnt out. I know rats love wires and this often causes electrical faults in vehicles. It’s probably best to look out for it first before you have any serious electrical issues that may cause flame.

Love the remod. I always say with food, you do you. Can't wait to see what you find out about the electrical issue. thanks.

Looked good to me! I'd eat it! Hope you get your lights figured out....love the new set up!
