[0:00]hey everyone just want to show you this

[0:01]cuz I didn't even think to take that

[0:03]that drawer out that's the pots and pans

[0:06]that gives me much greater access in

[0:08]here I probably could have wrapped that

[0:12]in the silver stuff if I wanted to um

[0:15]but I got way more access so that I can

[0:17]do a lot more insulating back here it's

[0:20]going to be great can get to that easier

[0:24]I do need to be careful of those vents

[0:26]now chat GPT tells me sorry I guess I

[0:30]just doesn't I can't get it to kind of

[0:32]focus on it there you can see them Chad

[0:35]GPC says to give them like five um 5 in

[0:39]um of um room to

[0:42]breathe and they said that was

[0:44]conservative but I don't know what to

[0:46]think about that and you don't just

[0:48]trust CH GPT with everything it

[0:51]says but at least I've got way better

[0:54]access over there now and that's going

[0:56]to be really

[0:57]helpful this is coming along great guys

[1:00]so there's a lot of insulation behind

[1:02]all of that and all of

[1:05]this um I just had a thought I wanted to

[1:08]share I think one thing that would have

[1:09]made this better it's just some kind of

[1:12]very light board I mean it could even be

[1:14]poster board maybe maybe a little

[1:17]thicker something that just pushes this

[1:19]back a little bit the pink insulation

[1:21]back there so it doesn't make a bubble

[1:24]you know so it's just more

[1:25]flat um so I'm not sure how I would do

[1:29]that now

[1:30]but I think I'll be fine but if I were

[1:33]doing it again I I would be thinking

[1:35]about that so I just wanted to share

[1:37]that little

[1:38]tip I'm not so I just got some advice

[1:41]about not doing anything over here I

[1:44]think what I'll do is if you can you see

[1:47]that board there like I'm going to try

[1:49]to

[1:50]build it might be too close I I might do

[1:52]nothing cuz I do think it's good

[1:55]advice or I might just build a

[1:58]wall well right where this fall is you

[2:01]know well I guess there's a reason it's

[2:03]open

[2:04]huh I guess I really do just need to

[2:06]leave it

[2:08]alone um I'll figure out a way to

[2:10]insulate this part still that was the

[2:13]main reason that if I can I I'll be able

[2:16]to do that I can insulate this part over

[2:19]here leave the rest of this alone

[2:21]there's nothing else to do

[2:23]here um and then just this panel down

[2:25]here so it's coming along great I I this

[2:29]is just wonderful I think this is going

[2:31]to make such a big difference I'll also

[2:33]insulate up here I might even do it for

[2:35]the one over

[2:37]here cuz I think it'll be out of the way

[2:39]you know I just feel like any little bit

[2:41]helps whatever I can do it's just been

[2:44]so cold in here so that's all for

[2:48]now okay so this is what I've got

[2:53]now oops guys right so here's what I got

[2:57]now so far and I just put this here I

[3:00]need to kind of tape it in I don't know

[3:02]how well this will work you know I'm

[3:04]just trying to build my floor there

[3:06]basically so that I can um take that

[3:09]area and insulate

[3:11]it uh I guess that area doesn't really

[3:13]need it because it's not you know coming

[3:15]from the outside

[3:17]but I'll do it anyways just to be

[3:21]thorough you know um so I'm just going

[3:24]to leave all that area alone just going

[3:27]to leave it alone won't go anywhere near

[3:31]looks like the sun's starting to set

[3:32]it's getting a little bit colder in here

[3:35]um but it's pretty nice like it's within

[3:37]it's like

[3:39]70° it's just starting to drop now so at

[3:42]some point you have to say good enough I

[3:45]think I reached that point a little

[3:47]while ago so I'm just going to show you

[3:48]what I've done

[3:50]here so that's that's what this panel

[3:52]looks like now figured I'll leave that

[3:55]alone for now if I need to insulate it

[3:57]later I will I'm going to see if it gets

[3:58]cold

[4:00]um when I get one of those laser

[4:02]thermometer

[4:04]things I'm going to leave that

[4:06]alone feel like I did enough there I

[4:09]could technically like I can bring it up

[4:12]to probably here like all

[4:15]across um for the D for that drawer but

[4:18]I'm just going to leave it like it is

[4:19]for

[4:20]now it's very well insulated really is

[4:26]so just just a very tiny bit of pink

[4:30]insulation showing I left that whole

[4:32]area

[4:33]alone I wrapped it around a little bit

[4:37]had to do that um by hand couldn't see

[4:39]what I was doing

[4:41]really um so

[4:45]yeah I've still got the one area left

[4:48]you know over over there but um the

[4:51]last well the last panel the three of

[4:54]the three panels going to put this in

[4:58]now it's perfect

[5:06]perfect could technically um you can go

[5:09]like a little bit up

[5:11]here and you got just a good distance in

[5:14]there you can't see it from here like

[5:17]there's a good

[5:20]distance but I'll see how this does you

[5:23]know I'm real happy this is my first big

[5:26]project and there's definitely a lot

[5:29]more to do but this is one thing that I

[5:30]can finally check off my list you guys

[5:33]have been awesome thanks for

[5:35]watching

Summary

rswfire documents progress on insulating his RV by removing kitchen drawers to access areas behind panels. He shows improved access to previously hard-to-reach spaces and discusses insulation placement strategies. He references ChatGPT's advice about maintaining 5-inch clearance around vents but expresses skepticism about trusting AI completely. He considers adding light boards to keep pink insulation flat but decides against major modifications. After receiving advice to leave certain areas untouched, he focuses on insulating accessible panels while avoiding sensitive mechanical areas. He completes three panels and expresses satisfaction with the project as his first major RV modification, noting the temperature is around 70 degrees as the sun sets.
