Installing New Sound Dampening Material For A Quieter Drive

Once I had all the vinyl planks installed, it was time to install carpeting in the front cockpit and the rear. However, before I do that, I wanted to take the opportunity to put some additional sound dampening up front. This is just a nice little upgrade to do while there’s no floor in there….

Reflooring The RV: Installing Luxury Vinyl Planks

Reader’s Note: It has been over a month since my last update on my reflooring project. I had a few people email me asking what happened. 🙂 I had to rush a bit to finish the job for a camping reservation, so I ended up busting it out without worrying too much about recording videos….

My Cruise Control Stopped Working! Here’s How I Fixed It (Workhorse Chassis)

My motorhome rides on a Workhorse W22 chassis. I honestly don’t know if what I’m about to say applies to other chassises. It may. You’ll need to do your own research. I first noticed the issue while driving on a bumpy road up in Canada between Montreal and Quebec City. I went to engage the…

Fixing The Vibrating Dryer! Splendide Washer/Dryer Combo Shakes Like Crazy.

Our rig came with a Splendide 2000 WD802M washer/dryer combo. Which is great since my wife was always tired of carting loads of laundry around the campground and finding rolls of quarters for the machines. 🙂 It’s a decent machine. Splendide has a newer model, but this is the one we have. I think even…

In the last video, I began the process of removing that pesky laminate wood flooring in order to make way for the new vinyl planks. On this day, I finished the job. I had to finish removing the laminate in the bathroom area. And yes, it was a lot of work just like the day…

Reflooring: Beginning To Pull The Old Laminate Flooring

Up to this point in the project, the jury was still out on whether I was going to pull the laminate flooring or not. The problem was that I didn’t know how it was attached. If there was a lot of adhesive under there, then pulling it would be a total nightmare and I’d rather…

On my second day working on reflooring our motorhome, I drove the rig home so that I could plug into the electric. Then, I went to town on pulling the carpet up from the rest of the rig. At this point, all the carpet is up except for the doghouse cover, a little section right…
