🛒 Friday's Finds | RV Comfort, Security & Home Upgrades You Need to See!

Good morning! Welcome to Dude RV. Hey, I appreciate you stopping by and of course, say it with me, you got here just in time. That's right, because it's Friday and it's time for another edition of Friday's Fines. If you're not familiar, Friday's Fines is a product compilation show. Four to six products every Friday, 4 p.m. daily. I scan emails looking for cool stuff. If you see it on Friday's Fines, it actually does what it's supposed to do, because if it doesn't do what it's supposed to do, there's no point in me showing it to you. Being the gracious host that I am, I will provide you with purchase opportunities in two different forms. The one in the card above that will take you to the Dude RV gear recommendations page on Amazon. If you don't want to mess with that, you can go into the description below and there will be individual product links that will take you directly to the product page on Amazon. Your business is most appreciated. I hear thunder. All you background watchers want to see what's going on. Well, I got you happy another dog pen. We'll see if she actually uses it. No, actually she's using it. Got some grass, not much. The new studio view. Still haven't worked on my waterfall. I had stuff going on. Anyway, we got a big show. We got a really big show, big show, really big show. I got four items on the table, and I got two that are in the garage that I'll guess I'm going to bring out here and unbox, or maybe we'll unbox in the garage. It's a big project. And then I got another big project right stacked up behind that one I'm working on. So make sure you click on the subscribe button. We're talking massive Friday fine project. But we'll start with some small stuff. Our next box comes to us from and they have sent us a telescopic pickup tool. Telescopic pickup tool. Oh, that's cool. Check that out. Well, that's right handy. That's what 12 feet. It's got a little hook that goes on the end. There's a magnet on that end. Okay, we have a hook. So you want to put your Christmas lights up in the tree or Okay, now. I'm sure I have something let metal land on the ground somewhere. Pretty stout magnet. It's hanging on as I walk around. Here comes the storm. This is cool. This is very cool. If you drop like you're working. If you're a mechanic, so you drop a wrench down in there. You can snake that down. I like that you can use it to hang your Christmas lights to move them right along. Duanda Duanda is worried about slippery RV steps. You ever stepped out of your RV and foot just slide right off the step. That's where these come in handy. Check that out. Those are adhesive traction pads for your RV step. My RV is in the shop, but I have an idea. We'll find something to put a traction pad on. Next to the last is the smart padlock. It's actually fingerprint. It's got biometrics and a combination. It's quite heavy. It's rechargeable. I only know that because I see where we charge the battery. Two different ports to charge the battery. Looks like we're going to have probably an app. User's manual. Let me read some paperwork. We're going to have to put a charge on it and we'll figure it out from there. I got a couple of things to research, something to locate, and we got two big boxes to open. Let's open another box. This is a big box product. Actually, this is a product. This is a video I've been working on for a while because the shipper lost half of this order. Anyway, this is the Cuzzware mini split air conditioner. It is 110 volts. Supposedly, it's a DIY project, but I'm kind of wondering about that. Anyway, this is going to go in the garage and y'all are going to watch me figure out how to install and operate this in a very short video. So, got my homework, got my research. Let's open some boxes. Right out of the bat, we have a template that'll come in very handy. About 18 feet of line. Two of them. This does come pre-charged with Freon. However, I have to figure out and learn how to pull a vacuum to release the Freon. I also have to run so this is going into our RV garage. I already have a line set. The line set for the house comes through that opening, so I'm going to see if I can reuse that or fit the additional line set into there and then mount the exterior unit on the wall here. Out of the way, but easy to access. This is where the air conditioner line set for the house comes in. I think I'm going to mount my air handler for the garage right up here. We are installing the cozy wire. We're in the garage. All right, wiring is a little bit vague. So, we have two lines. One is your power supply and then one goes to the outside unit and they are connected right here. So, you have two blacks, two neutrals, two grounds, a number four, which is the red. So, on your incoming, you have just three legs. On your outgoing, you have four. Yeah, that's where we are so far. Of course, it started raining, so the outside work is done for today. Well, I am installed. Interior and exterior. It's not quite as DIY as I thought because I've got to pull a vacuum to release the stuff and I don't have the equipment to pull a vacuum. Can't put power to it since there's no freon in the system. So, the DIY part pretty well is done except for figuring out my power supply. What I'm going to do is I'm going to put a cord end on that. Run a cord up and over for now. Temporary, but I have to hire an HVAC guy to come in and do the rest of it. So, this video is complete until I can get an HVAC crew out. I'm working with the smart padlock. It's right here. They have an app available through the App Store. It allows you to set up fingerprint management, temporary passwords. So, if you want to give somebody temporary access, you can see the log, who's opened it, who's authorized. That's all pretty cool. And then we can unlock it remotely. Look at that. That's pretty cool. It's very heavy. Of course, it has a battery that needs to be maintained, but if for some reason it dies, there's actually a key. That's a high-tech little padlock right there. That'd be perfect for a storage unit where you needed to have multiple people accessing it and you wouldn't have to give out the same code to everybody. You can generate a temporary. I think that's a heck of a deal right there. I like it and I think you will too. All right, moving right along. I have slipped on my little step here. If it gets wet, if it rains, my little step gets slippery. These work really good. I actually cut one in an actual true half and they stick right to it. It's so much better and they're not slippery anymore. Oh, it's even cushion on the cushion. We are styling them profile, what do you think? You like it? Great. Mama gonna be real happy with it. It's a step up from what I had before. It's a step up or three. We are working. I did have to bring in a professional and it did cost me about $400 to get it working. We have cool air. Barely hear it. It's been running about an hour. A little bit of condensation outside. Works good. We are so happy with that. Yes, indeed. All right, moving right along. I was more worried when you said it was walls because I thought it would be like three or four piece walls that you tied together, but it's just one out of the bag and just threw it on top. It looks like we can roll up the sides. So you can unzip that and roll it up. You can zip the middle. So you can open part of it, not just all of it. The other clip is on the other side, so when you roll it up, it locks it into place. Is it fastened inside? No, I believe it's all these ties tied on the bottom. All right, so you got the bungee cords. That's from yours. So that's the original? That's the original. I didn't take the roof off of this. I just locked it on because I was like, this is going to be easy. This will be perfect for the chickens in the winter. Yeah. But do they secure? Oh, you're saying just do that if this roof wasn't right. So that's the clip if you roll it up. So if there's no existing roof in place, you would tie it with these ties that would tie to the upper part of the frame and then you would use that to roll up the section because you've got a tie point here and a tie point there for each corner and that way you don't have to worry about blowing it off. I like that you can split the side in half. And you can even open the windows. So if you just need a little bit of ventilation. Oh, that one does, this one doesn't. So one window opens, one window doesn't. For the back compartment, that window opens. Same on this side, one window. Okay, that's pretty cool because that would give you cross ventilation during a hot, warm summer day or a warm winter day. That's awesome. Your thoughts? Good investment? That, yes, because after we talked, when we first talked and you said it was going to be panels, I thought, because I've done the whole softball thing where you could buy the panels for those big outdoor, that's what I thought it was going to be. I was like, that's going to be a pain in the butt. But that being one piece, threw it on and well, there you go. From the farmer himself, moving right along.
