@@fatboyhd01 that is awesome! Glad to hear the video helped!!!

@@lesliegreene5232 LOVE IT!!! Right on, glad to hear the fix went well!

@@madsundin hey there! Thanks for the insights! Yeah, I was looking at Olympic as well and agree on the challenge of getting it here. I'm going to keep researching to see what I can come up with. Good luck with the project!

@@johnmonaghan891 I don't specifically, but I believe the burner is held in place by a spring, it should just pop out. If I have some spare time I'll see what I can do!

Hey man, you are right, I got it sorted. Thanks for the reply

@@johnmonaghan891 right on, good to hear! Glad it worked out for you!

@@gillian1098 thanks for the kind words! Much appreciated!!

@@kathleenheckman8397 sounds awesome! Best of luck on the repair, seems like a big job. Keep us posted on how you make out!

@@estatty thanks so much! Yes the weather was great and the turnout was fantastic!

@@gerrykmet1206 next year!

@@seanmckeon731 it's hard to tell without seeing the product. I'm going to go out on a limb and will say you need "actual" MEK. You can always mix up a test batch of what you have and see if it works. Thanks!

@@RegsChannel okay yes thank you I googled it and it said that it will work just fine it's just less toxic I think it said and it says that I'm the can

@@binnsbrian thanks for the feedback, hope the video helped!

@@redb2153 hey there! The repair has held up very well. I did a follow up video with lessons learned, switched to polyurethane spray foam and it worked great! Check it out here: czcams.com/video/maSqRhkFquw/video.htmlsi=3y-7A4krIXuCJZHz

@@th0r0shvener52 yeah I think you would be ok to do that remember you need to get the majority of the water out, a little bit left in the pipes provided there is room for expansion should be fine. Be persistent and try to get out as much as you can. What I did one year was took a cap, and drilled and tapped a compressor fitting and blew it out that way. That is what I would probably suggest!

@@danielpadgett2831 thanks for the comment!

@@kathleenheckman8397 you are most welcome! I hope the video helps! The process was very straightforward. If it makes you feel better I too was getting water loss from a combination of the stairs and skimmer (I've done a video on that as well) personally I didn't notice any deflection in my top step but it wouldn't hurt to drill some relief holes depending on the type of foam you use. Good luck with the repair and keep us posted on your progress!

I'm not too sure how to do that tbh, you still need to be able to get the pool deck level and don't have a ton of room to operate.

Thanks for the kind words!

You could but you need to have it be able to flow uphill to address the settled void. Also if you need to access plumbing in the future you ideally don't want it encased in concrete. Hope that helps!

Yep! I figured this was a much better option, and so far the stairs are rock solid, couldn't be happier! Researching solutions currently to make the steps look visually appealing for the fall. Stay tuned!

My top pool step is cracked and has some pretty big gashes in it. We already filled in with sand underneath and it has held for a long time but the top step needs to be sealed and painted. I could try using the foam for the top step to reinforce it and seal it. What do you think of that idea

What did you use to patch that area on the top step

@@javajuls2u I used white LePage marine grade epoxy to fill the holes. Hope that helps!

Hi there. It took a few weeks to dry the cores out, I did it inside my house. Anything that promotes evaporation is your friend in this situation. Airflow, heat, a dehumidifier or dessicant packs will all help with the process. Remember it takes the cover weeks to months to accumulate that moisture so it takes time to pull it out!

Hi Linda! Thanks for the comment. Option one would be to tape off the area, sand the area down, and re gel coat it with a white tint to match. This is time consuming and needs so e artistic flair to make it look good. My plan on the other hand is to find a white epoxy coating with some grip or traction in it and literally just paint it on. Keep us posted on the repair, thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the kind words! Hope the video helped!

My gut says do the spray foam first. If you are using a lower expansion foam it's going to take the path of least resistance and if it's pushing up against the fiberglass I bet there is enough rigidity there to hold the shape. Once you get the foam in and it's solid then I would just the epoxy or an actual fiberglass patch. You got this!!! Let us know how you make out with the repair!

Thanks for taking the time to vent, hope that made you feel better! This video has helped thousands of people extend the life of their covers and keep money in their pockets, I'm not sure what's dumb about that.. take care!

Thanks for the comments, good luck on the project!

Hey there! You can play with the viscosity by adding either MEK or more pellets. I aimed for a white glue like consistency. If I recall correctly I had about a 10 min or so working time with it and I gave it over a day to cure to be safe. It was rock hard once I was done and it has held up well so far! Hope that helps!

Love to hear that it worked out! Yes it depends on the quality of the ABS pellets and MEK overall. Happy Skimmer equals a happy water bill!

Hi there. On this camper it's a hydraulic slide powered by an electric hydraulic pump. There will be a manual crank of sorts to let you bring in the slide room in the event of a failure. Hope that helps.

Thank you for your reply. Where is the manual crank located? As long as it is closed, it can be transported.

@@MrMakako1102 it should be near where I show in the video. I would secure the slide room from the inside just to be safe.

The challenge is there is no cement under those fiberglass stairs it's mostly sand,maybe a touch of aggregate. Closed cell foam is used now to level concrete so I figured I would be good with it in this application, but I get what you are saying, there is no "rebound" to the foam... I'll monitor them over time, but I'm not exaggerating when I say they are rock solid! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, means a ton to me!

Thanks for the kind words, my thoughts exactly touch ups would be a breeze

So far it's been good, it will be going on 2 years this summer and for the cost and time invested, I couldn't be happier with the result!

Thanks as always!!

Some great advice! Thank you!

Thanks so much! Molly is the best!

When you turn the gas knobs, do you hear the gas? If the BBQ only ignites with a lighter then your igniter likely needs replacing.

Lol! Thanks for the kind words! My tub is a Sundance, so basically a jacuzzi clone lol 😂 if it minor leaks everywhere (and not pump seals) this stuff could be a HUGE help: ( Marlig Industries Pool and Hot Tub Leak Sealer from Fix A Leak - 1 Litre / 32 oz Bottle a.co/d/jfpyEWf ) I've used it in the past and it's done a solid job! Just know that once you've used it and got the links under control do a water change... Your arm/leg hair will thank you lol!

The info on the connectors on the edges was key. I got the camera swapped in about 45 min. I tried a leak seal fluid on hot tub a couple times but it did not seem to last. May have been sprouting other leaks. Several of the small jets drip. As well as my filter box. Hard to find parts. And when I do they are $$$$

@@stephenchico2418 right on glad to hear you got it done! Yeah the older tubs do require a bit of TLC but once you get them right, you are good to go! I learned most of what I know by having to replace literally every part of mine lol!

Awesome! Glad it could help

We have to be sure they are 100 percent ABS pellets... If they are taking that long to dissolve that may be an issue. Give it some time and see if they dissolve.

Hey there! It's actually been almost 2 years, the repair held up very well! Good luck on the project!

@@RegsChannel thanks! Glad to hear. I opened the pool two days ago. And the hush pump failed.. So now have some other work to take care of before the cover!

@@philipchristian9935 same here just got my pool running last week, I'll be uploading more pool content over the next couple of weeks as soon as I can find time to edit it!

I added music to cover up the background noise. Thanks for taking the time to comment, hope the video helped you out.

Because it's a Chrysler product? Lol yeah I was asking myself the same thing once I dug into it. I honestly considered drilling out the plastic lens and pumping epoxy or something in there to fill that gap... I still have the old camera who knows might be time to experiment!

@@RegsChannel I've read elsewhere online that it's actually the backside of the camera where the wiring enters the camera housing that is the weak point. Condensation will collect and drip down the back into the cracks. Apparently some folks have used a hair dryer to dry the unit out, or even removed it and baked it in their oven! Then it's just a matter of hitting that weak point with some silicone before you re-install it. Dreading taking mine apart, but your video definitely helped. Anyway, I'm sure you're sick of hearing about this particular problem at this point though, haha.

@@neszero I always welcome the comments, it's great for the channel lol! Interesting... I still have the old camera module, I should do some investigation/surgery on it and see!

Repair has held up fantastic! The longer you give it the better but I would want to give it at least a solid 24 hours. I was in the same boat as you it was insane how much money I saved on the water bill alone!

Well thanks for the kind words!! Much appreciated :)

Actually it's been almost 2 years, it's held up surprisingly well! Multiple wraps and a ton of tuck tape for the win lol

Hey! Thanks for the kind words. Just so I'm clear, are you saying that you have 2 separate switches, one for the light, the other for the fan? Or are the fan and light both wired to the same switch. If they are both wired to the same switch that might be a challenge as I don't think the fan is going to like that very much... Clarify the setup for me and I'll do some digging and see what is out there! I know Lutron makes a fancy switch called a "Caseta" that might be the ticket? Let me know!

Thanks for the kind words! I learned from the best lol!

Hmm maybe they are rusted/corroded shut? You could try and spray them with wd40 let it sit for a few min and then try it again. I had to use a bit of force to get mine going.

Thanks for the kind words, you are most welcome!

Hi there, you can use either the existing cover shell or a tarp. Just remember you won't get the same level of thermal insulation and the tub will run more. Could also be a good time to shit the tub down for a water change or any other preventative maintenance you may need to carry out. Hope that helps!
