    They were great! Especially love the coaster idea for leveling.
  • Thank you😊. My favorite is the pillows with blankets inside... This is great for my tiny house, too
  • @meowza7266
    Love the cutting board! And walkie talkies are a great idea.
  • @sharoneasley
    I love the pillow idea. That’s where I can keep my hoodies. Great video. I have that ladder. It is awesome! Once I learned how to use it. I had my hands where your feet go when I let it down it came down so fast it bruised one hand and broke the other.
  • It was the blankets inside the pillows hack for me Super inventive
  • @badmedicine9206
    Thanks for sharing these hacks. While I’m waiting for my camper van, I’ve watch quite a few vids but they are all pretty similar to each other. You really shared some tips that I’ve never seen and never thought of. Great job!
  • LOVE that mirror, that pillow is a great idea. The ladder is a great idea to help put a stop to thieves. All vans & RV should have em.
  • Your blankets in the pillow and the cutting board with legs hacks are brilliant! Thank you so much!
  • We have the same trouble with our ladder - we're lucky when it collapses. Love your bloopers too! You guys are fun to watch!
  • You guys are KILLING it!! Great hacks! Loved watching John and that ladder...lol . Stay safe, have fun! You know we are praying for you guys!
  • @ms.pirate
    That dog just falling asleep like that. He obviously loves you both very much
  • @robint01
    Well done. Loved the bloopers you left in❣ Most definitely can use several of your hacks at home. Thank you 😊
  • lol the ladder takes ! the concentration to get it right was too funny! Also the cutting board hack: genius!
  • Hey, just found your channel, I love top ten items. I have watched many, all good, but yours is unique in that the items are more practically based as opposed to personal preference. I am not on the road yet, converting a short-bus. Like I said I am not dissing any of the other videos, just pointing out the difference, great tips. If I had to chose a favorite, the blankets in pillow cases, excellent use of space for extra items you can use in two ways.
