hi I'm Jim I'm gonna take you for a tour good  old Walter here show you around show you what   Walter's all about so uh I'm going to get my  wife to hold the camera personally she did   hurt her uh foot and toe the other day so I  realized she might be a little shaky on the camera   but it'll be a new experience for her and  working with this uh newer camera that I   recently accessed the sound on this thing should  be much better because it does have a muffle on it   so I'm hoping uh it'll get rid of a  lot of the wind noise I've had in uh   previous videos anyway I'll give  the camera over to my wife now gonna take you for a little ride and  show you around in Walter our motorhome   so just follow us as we go and take you  through a tour of our motorhome come on okay come on inside let me show you around okay   first of all this is where we like to sit  and I know my wife is having issues with uh   it's uh walking right now but uh anyway  this is where we sit eat sit comfortable   some play some games sometimes and uh yeah  okay and over here is uh one of the beds   one of the areas that uh I I like to  sleep here I like to sleep alone okay now if you want to look up here I'll open this  cupboard and this is where we get all our cups   and stuff over on this side and then over  on this side keep all our plates and stuff clock in the middle to kind of keep eye on the  time okay and then I installed up here a light   so this operates off of 110. so uh I can turn that  on for a second and makes it pretty bright in here   shut it back off okay let's go on the other side it's over on this side is where we keep all our  food we got a couple baskets here we can put all   our food in the baskets and then uh canned  stuff in here and everything else okay go   down a little bit there's our sink uh right  now the water's turned off and until I uh   some winterizing yeah there's no water at all no  no in fact I was emptying the uh holding tank here   and beside the sink over here is the stove the  four burner stove and up here is our microwave   of course you can only use it if we have the  generator on or plugged into a power at a campsite   okay and now let's uh open up underneath  the sink underneath the sink is where we   have all our pots and pans keeping all  our pots and pans underneath the sink   and then right beside the sink two  drawers one to keep some of our   it almost a junk drawer I've been keeping some  of our plastic tin foil whatever and some uh of   our cooking tools underneath is where all our  plastic spoons and forks go of course we don't   like to do dishes when you're camping right right  anything that we can use a disposable the better   okay uh I'll turn around over here of course  there's the captain's seat right there yeah   and the pilot seat right there and then if you go  on the other side that's the co-pilot seat so of   course the person is doing the camera right now is  my co-pilot okay now let's uh underneath this seat is besides our batteries being in  here this is where we store a lot of our   camping equipment it's a first aid kit uh  a heater electric heater games and even a uh a container for washing things  so that's the underneath one seat   underneath the other seat is uh the holding tank  the holding tank for water so right now I've been   draining that because we've got to winterize  but uh this is our holding tank for our water we also have installed solar on our motorhome with  our Renogy uh Adventure solar charge controller   it also can be connected to your phone on  an app so you can keep track of the charging   process I have considered putting an extra 100  watt panel on the roof however the 200 Watts   for now has been handling all our needs when we  do some dry camping so uh for now I'm 200 Watts it   covers our needs it keeps the battery charged up  and being a motorhome if the batteries go a little   low can only start up the motorhome because it's a  dual charging system actually triple charging system okay if you come over here follow me over here  we're going to the other end we usually keep a   garbage can handy of course when you're  camping you always have garbage right   right and in here is where we have  all our toiletries uh toiletries glass cleaner whatever else that enables us to   do whatever we're doing do they know  what this room is already oh probably   that's our bathroom our toilet yeah and  uh our sink is over on the right side there and the shower and here it'll uh cabinet keep the various things in of course  there's a vent on the top a vent so when   we make a big smell in here never  happens so no smells from us okay back here is another bed  we use it as a bed however   it can be a table too a table with surround  seating so that would seat a lot of people   if we needed it for that purpose but right  now we're using for bed we also when we're   traveling we use it to store our chairs uh table  outside table chairs and a bunch of pillows okay so now I'm going to show you up in here there's lots of  storage so we have various things stored in here usually up in here I keep all our snacks chips all  our goodies over in these two right now there's no   snacks so I'm out of snacks we're gonna have to  go get some more snacks okay and up here again   more storage a bunch of Electrical uh things  up here a rope or uh different various things   uh you can see there's quite a bit of Lights in  here I changed everything over to LEDs you got   a light above both sides of the uh of the bed and  then a main light over top of the bed with a vent   if we need it on a hot day was at the top  it is closed no it's open a little bit   oh vents open okay and both sides of back here  this is this this is actually a good sized bed   for two people but over on this side is as uh one  closet for hanging our clothes and then underneath here's another drawer for different toiletries  over on the other side is another closet and uh that's usually my closet okay and  then the bottom underneath again another   toiletries and then another second door  drawer is the junk drawer with a bunch of   whatever we need and below that is access  to the hot water tank to the valves in the   hot water tank and now over here of course is  a full size the reasonably full-size fridge   this is the fridge compartment and up here the freezer compartment so in this process of showing the  motorhome my wife is learning how to use   this camera so uh I need to show her how to  move everything really slow move things slow   when she's moving so I'm actually doing a  good job it has a image stabilization so   it helps take away the shake a little  bit okay back here underneath the bed   is more storage we can store stuff underneath here  uh some stool some of our more camping supplies   and a barbecue right there at Thermos barbecue  you've probably seen it in some of our videos   we've been using it okay I think that covers  uh most of inside Walter good old Walter 1987.   uh Pathfinder so I think now we should go  outside and uh take a look around outside okay let's take a look around on the  outside of Walter here just follow me around this is an Econoline 350. Ford not that  I really like Ford but uh it works for me  

come around to the front over here just a compartment to the propane tank  the valve is inside here just have to turn it on   when I need propane it's supplied to the motorhome  over here is the filling station for water and uh further on ah the place where  you put that expensive fuel in right there   I don't think there's very much  fuel left in this thing right now can't go very far and we did have it plugged  in it's not plugged in right now   but this is the 30 amp power supply  to the motorhome should we decide to   hook into power and then above  here is if we're got a water supply   for the place that we plugged into a  little bit of water in there we are   going to winterize this thing in just a bit  okay and then back here two compartments this one here see if I get the right key   trying to figure out which key belongs in here is  always a problem in here and I got a spider uh it's gonna rain now anyway I probably  went out of focus on that spider anyway so   anyway we've got storage in there the storage goes  quite a ways inside and uh we store things like   different things needed on the outside our screen  tents in there um yeah some of our Propane Supply   for propane uh things are in there and underneath  is again I put that key away but anyway all of you  know what these things are and these are to get  rid of all the uh sewage that's in the motorhome okay   coming around on the back end in here is our generator and where's the key for that  one I don't know keeping our generator in here   also our gas supply, spare gas supply now that we don't have our gas supply in here  right now but this is where we keep our generator   lock that up pull around ladder  access to the top should we need to   then over here another compartment  storage compartment on the outside   this one we keep our uh our mat our outside mat  that goes on the outside of our motorhome and   we got some tools in here also there's some life  jackets in here and that's where we keep that's   where we keep that stuff lock it up there  you go and then when we go to a campsite you   gotta level out your motorhome to make sure  it's level and it helps so in here we have a   tire Jack in case we have a flat tire and then  we got some leveling blocks to level up the uh the uh motorhome close that up and this is our hot water tank and again another thing that  I'm going to have to drain I   might as well start draining that right now Ah a little bug crawling up on the side here of course it there'll be an air lock  in there so to really drain it   have to get the air out of it anyway  we'll drain that in a second okay um access to the fridge right here this is  a three-way fridge it runs on 12 volt   110. and gas and all all three of  them do work at this point in time underneath the outside of the Furnace didn't  talk about the furnace when I was inside but   the furnace is all automatic you just set the  temperature you want it at and it'll keep it   at that temperature when you're plugged into  power supply you do have two outlets out here   now one last uh big compartment for storage  on the outside here and I'll get the right key   I think it's this one yep and I know we used it  for other things we take our own wood with us   so it's handy to because a lot of these  places they charge a lot for wood so   since we have a wood pile in the back it  had our place we can take wood with us okay the other thing I didn't mention is we also  have some security lights that we take with   us in their motion sensor security lights so  I usually set them up beside our Campground   and yeah just in case we have some motion  outside they automatically come on and we   also got this other security light right  here uh on the outside of our motorhome   uh you've probably seen in some of our  other uh videos setting up the uh the uh you've probably seen in some of our  other videos setting up the awning and uh   right now that's uh put away okay so now I'm about  to uh do some winterizing we gotta winterize this   old thick beast and uh Walter uh we gotta  treat it right got to treat Walter right   and uh we don't want any incidents next year  when we turn on the water we don't want no   leaks or anything so it's time to winterize Walter  that'll be in our next video thanks for watching   I'm Jim I'm Sandra she's behind the camera and  we are tired retired Old Timers taking it easy   one day at a time don't forget to subscribe  make comments hit the Bell thanks for watching
