What's up everybody, it's Simon from LakeOwt

Coming at you live from my pop-up camper. I want to share with you the easiest upgrade
0:07
that you can possibly make to your camper that will give you the most use
0:11
It's easy, simple, and we use this thing all the time, every day when we go camping in our pop-up camper
0:20
We're out here camping at this kind of camp resort thing. The kids love it
0:24
They're just having a blast. They're out doing some obstacle course on a pond
0:28
Yeah, they're having a good old time. Good old time. Summertime fun
0:32
Oh, check this out. I want to show this to you too. Camper rules
0:36
The folks who had this camper before we did, we bought it used
0:40
I did these, totally adorable. Yeah, it's like chalkboard paint and paint pens or whatever
0:47
Our kids read those. It's like a morning ritual. Wake up and read the camper rules
0:52
I love it. So here it is. It's a shoe rack. That's it, a shoe rack
1:00
We get so much use out of this thing. Top to bottom, we don't put a lot of weight in it
1:05
I'm not even sure if these hooks are into the frame. This is one of these additions that the previous owner made
1:13
but we've done this before in a previous camper. If they're not into the frame
1:17
then they're into this basically Luan board. That's what it's called, right
1:24
Luan board. It's plywood. Eighth inch plywood. So there's not a lot of meat going on
1:29
You don't want to hang a lot of heavy stuff in here, but this is our sleeping bag
1:35
bags right here, toiletries, shower gear, wallet, phone, keys, wallet, phone, keys
1:44
Shout out if you know where that's from. Oh, of course. Gotta have a pocket knife
1:50
Keep that up high, out of the kid's reach, right? Glasses, all that stuff
1:56
This is like reaching the camper, throw it in there, reaching the camper, grab the keys
2:01
grab your wallet, that kind of stuff. This is where it's at
2:05
There's even little things on the side. We don't even get into using those because we don't even use every shelf
2:11
but we use this all day, every day. We've got another one over here for our light
2:19
We'll put, again, we don't put anything heavy in here. We just put bread, chips
2:25
anything light like that is going in here. We've got our fruit basket
2:31
This is the only real heavy thing, and we don't load it up. We just put these, really, it's just for bananas
2:37
I mean, we just keep bananas off the ground so they don't get all smashed up and stuff
2:41
or apples and all that kind of stuff. They live with all the other food in the food containers
2:47
but this is so, so handy. Every pop-up camper should have one of these
2:53
This is a towel, what do you call it, paper towel. This is like a paper towel rod
2:58
or you can use a curtain rod. You can probably find some scrap in your garage to use it
3:03
you know, a little wooden dowel or anything. It does not need to be fancy. It just needs to hold this up, and that's it
3:10
That's it. The best DIY upgrade you'll ever make for your pop-up camper is more shelving
3:20
Love it. If you like camping like I do, I've got a video for how to pick the perfect camp spot
3:25
Don't miss out on that one. I've got more pop-up camper videos coming at you
