I was digging the thoughtfulness and ingenuity of the work he has done UNTIL - OMG - the dish drainer idea blew me away. He is absolutely brilliant. Standing ovation from over here.

Your toilet solution is pure genius. Congrats on that. And of course, the rest of your build is clever and livable too (and the magnetic flyscreen in it's little cubby by the door is a wonderful idea). The other thing I really enjoyed is the way you mostly said "We" and not I all the time. It annoys me when guys say "I" all the time as if their partner was just introduced to the finished product and had no input at all. All in all, this is a very practical and livable mobile home. One of the best I've seen in fact.
@DrDuze-se5cx4 місяці тому
Thanks for the kind words. I am so glad you liked the screen set-up, it was one of the first little touches that I really enjoyed making.

Excellent tour of Harvey the RV! Hi, I'm Susan --- I traveled with Eric in Harvey for a total of nine months, and it was a wonderful trip in so many ways. Even though I lived in Harvey all that time, I'm still amazed, watching this video, at the ingenuity shown by Eric in creating so many clever solutions for every aspect of this 'home away from home' -- his attention to every detail made it so comfortable, convenient and safe for us on the road, in every climate and location we encountered. His "piece de resistance," the swing on the 'veranda' outside of the French doors, where we spent almost every evening, was a wonderful end to the day, especially when we could have bluetooth music and a fire in our little fireplace with our dinners out there -- as well as many lunches by lakes, and some lovely breakfasts in the mornings (French toast, anyone?) with scenic sunrises. - There are many helpful websites and apps for RV travelers, but we especially enjoyed our stays with "Harvest Hosts" in various vineyards, wineries, and private estates that welcome RVs (with reservations online) for an overnight stay (with the expectation of a modest purchase at the commercial ones; we took a bottle of wine for our private stays, and sometimes enjoyed the fireside company of others who had also traveled). BLM lands offer free overnight stays, all over the country, and keeping a list and map of those is very helpful. I'd also suggest taking along and using a current copy of the Rand McNally Road Atlas (or another one) as well as depending on your mobile phone's GPS -- the latter is very handy when looking for particular addresses, but an atlas gives you the "big picture" while traveling, and often includes detailed areas of larger cities. -- Happy Trails to everyone!

Every time I watch these videos of pure ingenuity I wonder why the big RV companies find it so fucking hard to make RV’s that are functional and that doesn’t cost the price of a freaking home. Last time I saw one that cost 196.000$, I mean seriously!!! They should hire the van life people on UKposts designing and building they own campers I’m sure they’d make a killing in the long term.

Awesome ! Better than any expensive RV. Everything made exactly they wanted and needed with real home feel. They can park everywhere they want and nobody would think there is anyone living inside. The truck looks like hard working old truck so nobody cares. I’m going to build something very similar. Absolutely love it ! Stay safe and healthy guys. Keep traveling and make more videos with your rig.

It was very convenient to have our own accommodations wherever we went, visiting friends and relatives; even when they had plenty of room to house guests, we were actually more comfortable staying in Harvey overnight. We've had other guests with their own RVs, who did the same, and it really provides more privacy for all.

Just warmed my heart!❤️😊 Have you experienced any injury with a chair falling off the patio? I heard you mention one needs to be careful. I’m always considering safety first. Overall, phenomenal rig!

Thank you for your nice comments. You're right, there's no need for windows when we have the French doors, the front pass-through to the cab, and the skylight; we kept the stealth aspect that way, too. - ( And yes, we are a romantic couple ~ we enjoy life and each other to the fullest!)
