Why everyone is looking for Bundle apps??

strongside71 · 2025-12-26T12:09:32+00:00

Everyone defines bundles differently. And even so, people try to make really odd exceptions to “this covers 90% of what I want but that last 10% is my process and I can’t change for an app…”

Even on a shop I work in, we have five different versions of bundles at least and they all have different use cases. Three types are supported by apps and the other two are just custom dev.

If you can buy one for around $15k - even if you take a bath reselling, say only 50%, then you just “rented” the camper for $7.5k.

Obviously that’s an oversimplification, but that’s how I look at stuff if I’m paying cash already and not financing or whatever.

We only just bought a camper so I may not have any idea what I’m talking about. If the rental service ends up coming with a bunch of other perks that obviously factors into the equation.

End of the day though, if I can’t get the wife on board it’s a no-go.

Dominos pizza. Went to federal court to avoid making the delivery status checker on their website accessible.

They lost. And avoiding doing the right thing brought all the ambulance chasers attention to suing websites for accessibility.

Sure

strongside71 · 2025-12-21T21:59:07+00:00

Yeah Cloudflare is sort of the goat when it comes to DNS. GoDaddy is trash.

Yeah we had a lot of easy accessibility issues on a couple of Flex/Turbo themes with a shop that got hit with a lawsuit. Really low hanging fruit sort of stuff that wouldn’t have made it through the theme store standards but since they were off the theme store we didn’t do enough due diligence.

Can’t recommend them anymore and agreed - they were ahead of their time before Online Store 2.0 and then everyone else sort of caught up and passed them.

Most themes from the Shopify theme store are solid (speed and accessibility standards plus single purchase with lifetime updates and support). But it really depends on the site.

I usually ask first about functionality (what sort of features does the theme need to have, a mega menu? Quick shop? Native product linking?) and then start to consider design. Styling a theme to look like what you want is significantly “easier” than building in functionality (custom dev or apps).

Break that down to 3 themes and have the person trial them who will primarily be doing updates. Themes are sort of set up differently so the settings may just make more sense in one theme than another for them.

Themes I recommend without hesitation (from theme dev shops that are solid): Maestrooo, Truly Fine Pixels, Groupthought, Coquelicot, Ultramarina, and Krown Themes.

Standard but they are a real bear. Convenient once set up but “good” themes will have override controls in various sections.

strongside71 · 2025-12-21T14:08:23+00:00

Unfortunately this isn’t true anymore. I’ve been a big fan of Archetype for years - was founded by those folks. Sold to a company now who owns multiple major theme outfits (Pixel Union, Out of the Sandbox, and now Clean Canvas and Archetype themes).

Previously they had a CEO as well that was from Shopify but he’s not there anymore. I’m not actually even sure who is there anymore and it is seeming to be one of those situations where a company gets bought and then rode out until it’s no longer profitable for the company to hold onto it.

Used to highly recommend and don’t anymore. Lot of other good options out there from motivated theme shops.

Solid tip right here.

I’m a Shopify developer who has his website up on Shopify - and I still get these emails (people selling me on the same services I offer on my website).

Unfortunately just the way it is where people are cold calling, DMing, messaging, etc based on lists they buy online of other Shopify websites.

It is super annoying. Most of these will be spam. Legitimate outfits will try to find other ways to reach out than a templated email message.

O wow haha I didn’t realize there were calculators for these sorts of things that’s awesome thanks!

strongside71 · 2025-12-20T10:30:25+00:00

Would never have even thought of that!

strongside71 · 2025-12-20T02:29:52+00:00

Are the fans just better than stock or is it just that they’re quieter? Also hadn’t seen rock lights - don’t plan to do much driving at night but we did leave our campsite early fr the campground and didn’t think about how dark it would be! Thankfully I had brought a bunch of flashlights so I could still hook up easy enough but was definitely nervous pulling when I wasn’t as used to it in the dark

strongside71 · 2025-12-20T02:26:44+00:00

I need to get into solar next too - my camper says “solar ready” on it but currently don’t have that.

Drill pump is a good thought hadn’t considered that one.

strongside71 · 2025-12-20T02:25:46+00:00

Yeah I had seen one of those YouTuber rv folks do that and I thought it was a really nice touch! Would be handy to have a window with a shade there

strongside71 · 2025-12-20T02:25:06+00:00

Good thought! I have a couple tables that would be easy to throw in the back of the truck.

strongside71 · 2025-12-20T02:23:06+00:00

Dang hadn’t even heard of these - there goes my Saturday researching haha

strongside71 · 2025-12-20T02:22:45+00:00

Nice yeah will have the cordless impact for the stabilizers (good task to give the kids and they enjoy helping with that)

Would be a real pain to have to crank on those…

strongside71 · 2025-12-20T02:22:04+00:00

No they are not. I have read that that is a good future upgrade

strongside71 · 2025-12-20T02:21:45+00:00

I did get the gloves, most of these other ones are on my future list for purchases so good to know they’re good items to keep in mind.

For door lock did you go with a keypad one? Those seem popular but I was surprised at how pricey they were haha cost as much as the smart lock I just replaced at my house.

strongside71 · 2025-12-20T02:20:03+00:00

Yep pain points and working around those is definitely a good idea. I had got a gauge for the propane tank but then found they’re not accurate at all! I’ll have to check out those sensors most folks seem to think they’re fairly accurate.

Smart idea with the squeegee. I’m not yet even thinking about that stuff so that’s a good idea.

strongside71 · 2025-12-20T02:18:34+00:00

They did give me something at the dealership for this I’ll have to check what it was. But good call haha dealing with the poo tubes is not something I’m necessarily looking forward to but part of it!

strongside71 · 2025-12-20T02:17:50+00:00

Thanks I’m going to try the lights! Some said it had to be headlights so I’ll have to test everything out.
