Runaway Roses

It's not often when a new molded fiberglass brand RV comes to market so we're excited to share our walk through of the Awaken RV. We had the opportunity to check out the new 2026 Awaken RV Morning Star trailer. This is a twin bed model with a full dry bath. We walk around the outside checking out some of its features including the upgraded independent suspension and get to check out its beautiful interior with a twin bed layout.

If you're interested in an Awaken RV please contact Southland RV for more information.

Is your RV toilet ready for an upgrade?

In this video, Todd replaces the original plastic Thetford hand-flush toilet in our Lance 1172 truck camper with a brand-new Dometic 410 porcelain foot-flush toilet featuring the 360° swirl flush. He walks through the installation, including the tools and parts he carries for projects like this, how to remove the old toilet, and just how easy the new one is to install. He also adds a handy shut-off valve that could save the day if a toilet failure ever happens on the road. Plus, he shares a few more clever truck camper products that make truck camper life easier. If you own a truck camper, RV, or are looking for practical upgrades to improve comfort and reliability, this is a project you'll want to see!

A lot of you surely saw this coming, we've now gotten our Lance 1172 set up on our Ford F350 Cab Chassis flatbed truck. It's an awesome setup and we're looking forward to some fun truck camper adventures.

Todd got it set up and put the truck camper on, and the ride feels near perfect. We haven't taken it on a long trip yet, but we definitely will very soon.

In this episode we load our truck camper and finished our setup so we can hit the road. We have some difficulty loading our Lance 1172 onto our flatbed beca...

Last week we attended a Bigfoot camper gathering in Elizabethtown, KY. We had such a great time meeting new friends and seeing some of our longtime friends. It was a busy few days of visiting historic places, eating good food and just getting in some relaxation. We look forward to another meetup with this group sometime soon. If you’re a Bigfoot camper owner, you should join the Bigfoot RV Clan group. They have plans to have yearly get togethers and it’s a great group to hang with. Taylor even got a new stuffed possum from Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park.

Can I fix our chalky camper finish without paying hundreds of dollars paying someone to do it for me?

Our truck camper looked tired and dull and honestly, it didn’t look like it had ever been polished. The fiberglass had noticeable oxidation, and it was time to see if I could bring the shine back.

In this video, I walk you through the same product and polishing method I’ve used for years on multiple RVs and boats. It’s not complicated, but it does take some effort. The good news? Doing it yourself can save you hundreds, even thousands — compared to paying a professional detailer.

This is a quick rundown of:

✨ How I remove oxidation from fiberglass
✨ The compound and tools I use
✨ The polishing process step-by-step
✨ What kind of results you can expect
✨ Why I prefer this method for long-term shine

If you’re a DIY RV owner who wants to restore your camper’s finish and protect your investment, this video is for you. The same process works great on motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, truck campers, and even boats.

There’s nothing better than stepping back and seeing your RV looking glossy and refreshed again.

We hope you enjoyed the video!
