Anyone have trans issues with the V8 Gaser? See that was an issue with the 2017 Nissan Titan XD
We had no issues with ours.
I found a 2017 in my area with 59K for only $28K
I'm a bit late to the party here but I am genuinely curious. You mentioned in the video you have 3 kids. I am really interested in buying one of these one day, but I will also likely have 3 kids one day. Is there enough room in the back seat to have all 3 back there on a 2+hour road trip?
Thanks for your comment! We took many long trips in our Titan and it had plenty of room in the back for our kids. You should have no issues. Unless you are connected to a gooseneck or fifth wheel, go ahead and add a bed cover. This will help with storing all the extra stuff you have to bring along. Believe me.. there will be so many extra items once you have kids! Thanks for watching.
@@BuildYourOwnAdventure thank you sir!
Thoroughly enjoyed these videos Adam and I'm sure the memories with the family are timeless. I have a lot of memories from all the trips we took going up and down the New England coast camping growing up.
Thank you so much buddy! I hope you’re right about the memories. Every time the kids mention the trip it makes my day. Thanks for watching!
@@BuildYourOwnAdventure I'm sure they will 😊
I have this radio with a 360 antenna and it doesn’t get an radio. Is there a solution to this problem (besides a new antenna)?
We had a very weak signal with ours also. I’m not sure there is a better solution than adding a new antenna.
It's got 95% of the 2500 luxuries and 80% of the towing capacity... for a third of the price
How much this truck can pull?
It is rated for 10,100 pounds.
@@BuildYourOwnAdventure can you do hotshot trucking with that?
@@Gokusupersayanb probably not suited for hotshot work.
LOL, I have KTMs too!
JUST AN IDEA CAN YOU USE A DRILL ON IT ? MAYBE MODIFY SOME TOOL TO FIT IT. MAKE IT A LOT EASIER/CHEAPER FOR YOU. YOUR FAMILY AND CONVERSION MAKES ME WANT TO DO THIS IF ONLY I WERE 40 YEARS YOUNGER! LOL
Thanks for the comment! We eventually upgraded to electric! It was a lot of work, but well worth it! Thanks for watching!
What did you do to fix this? I have the same problem and don’t see the full video on your channel.
We used 4” eternabond tape around the roof perimeter, then painted the entire roof with sealant. Then we sealed around all running lights and other exterior features with lexel sealant. If you have rivets, go through and replace any that are loose.
I have the same model (4650) and it has a battery with elect start - you push in round dial, yellow part.
No kidding.. I knew they made a dual fuel version but had no idea they had an electric start. Very cool.
Great job!
Thanks!
cool you made it to my state ,have fun we have lots to see.
Your state is amazing! We needed more time, but we got to see enough to know that we’ll be back!
We wish you happy and safe trip
Thank you!!
You did a great job ! We’d have to have a smaller trailer because our pickup is a 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab with a 6’ bed. The maximum towing capacity is 6,500 #. I don’t want to over work our (my) truck. I plan on driving it until I die. I’m quite sure that my wife will still be using my truck to plow the 5-7 ft of snow off our private road until she dies.
Thank you so much! You should be able to find a cargo trailer to fit your needs. While the towing capacity is important, be sure to pay close attention to the payload on your Tacoma and try to stay well within that rating. Tacomas are great trucks and it should last you a long time! Thanks for watching!
That is Glenwood!! Second most mesmerizing stretch of road. The few miles in AZ between Utah and Nevada are #1 on I-15
Awesome! I’ll add that to our list to check out next time.
Got my mirror all apart without breaking a thing, just for my mirrors to be aftermarket so the wires for the lights are hardwired so now I have to find some plug online to make these lights work. Or buy new mirrors
No way! I would reach out to Boost Auto and see if they can offer any advice. Those guys are well versed in the wiring for these lights and may be able to help you locate a connector.
I got rid of my Magic Chef stove - cooked way too hot. Their stuff is garbage!
Good video. My first cut was a small door window (thinner walls) and supposed to be 1 3/8" thick. When the window arrived it was 1 1/2 " so I had to make my own trim ring to make up the difference inside. Always check the reviews in the description because people will tell you that "the size is off". I suggest small pilot holes all the way through the wall from the inside in the middle of all four sides of the window, then trace your outside line over painters tape that you put over the holes on the outside. Start on the inside and cut the plywood only with a shorter blade jigsaw first, then on the outside, make a larger pilot hole inside your line and use tins snips to cut the metal. I used a 5-inch blade to clear the whole wall at once (bad idea). I I started from the outside on my first window and no matter how careful I was the blade found its own path on the inside and the trim ring didn't fit. I spent an hour cleaning it up but couldn't do anything about the over cut plywood on the bottom lip of the inside window wall. You could be dead-on the outside line but the blade will curve as you cut. Also, the most important thing before you even start is to make sure the trailer is perfectly level. Don't measure from the ceiling, floor, or wall stud screws. Nothing is even.
Thanks for watching! Awesome info!
Roman how many brake applications??? 😂😂 Killer views
🤣
26 gallons isn’t enough????
Not when towing.
Ok. I just got a 2018 Texas edition and we are about to have a camper around 4,000lbs. How big is yours?
@@davidwilson8310 it’s around 8,000 lbs. We averaged somewhere between 7-8.5 mpg towing.
@@BuildYourOwnAdventureooooo ok makes sense. May need to get a diesel f350. My wife’s cousin has one and has had it for years now. She also does a lot of hauling and traveling in it
@@davidwilson8310 we actually traded our Titan in for an F-350 a couple of years ago. Both are great trucks.
For your outdoor lights, get tinting film and either cover them, or make them slightly over sized so you can pop them in and take them out.
Great idea! Thanks for the comment.
Hi! I recently bought a jayco jayflight 232rb and we have the iRV29 radio system. We turned it on the other day to listen to it and it connected to Bluetooth no problem, but we had no sound from speakers. We switched to AM/FM and still no sound from speakers. We turned both zones on and all the way up and still heard nothing. We have already checked wiring, fuses, hard reset on the radio, unplugged all the wires and then plugged them back in, we double checked the wiring diagram in the manual and still nothing. Do you have any other tips or tricks we should try? I've read a lot of forums and people have bought new radios and it still didn't fix the issues. Jayco service center is pretty swamped so I was trying to fix it at home instead of waiting for them. Any insight would be helpful. Thank you! Brooklyn
Sounds like you've done a great job diagnosing the problem. If others are having problems with new radios, it makes me think that there are wiring issues between the speakers and radio. Could be a short in one of the wires that would cause the internal amp to short out and not produce sound. Possibly a screw/nail through a wire?? My next step would be connecting a speaker directly to each set of speaker wires coming out of the radio. This would require cutting your speaker wires going into the radio. It would eliminate any wiring issues between the radio and the speakers. Be sure not to cut your wires too close to the wiring harness so you can splice them back together once you have found the problem.
Great tip with the fuse to use it in the camper..!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
Hi! Thank you for the video, it explained a few things I still had questions about - but I have a question. When I put a DVD into the disc reader, it plays the sound that indicates the DVD menu is opening, but nothing on my TV changes. How do I get the DVD to display on my tv? (Inputs didn’t work, as the only options were HDMI1, TV, and Samsung TV Home.)
On our camper, we use the HDMI input. You may need to check the back of the TV to be sure you have a good connection.
i don't need the 30 i don't have a camper. im in c.c. tx. I wanna use it in case of a hurricane. And I lose power. will it run a 8000btu ac and Frigerator. wifi and tv a couple of laps.
That is tough to answer without knowing the ratings for each appliance. Just an average 8000 btu AC uses somewhere in the range of 2500 watts. You should be able to find how many watts your refrigerator uses on the label. It's going to use more when the compressor turns on and then level out at a lower wattage. This generator has a running wattage of just over 3500 watts. Your TV and wifi shouldn't use much, but they will add to the draw. Depending on the fridge size, I think it can do it, but you may be close to the overload point.
@@BuildYourOwnAdventure lol i went back to your channel so i could thank you by name. and saw the Wen 3800, know I'm going to look into that one. thank you so much. you were very helpful.
@@davidsalinas4872 they are both great units. We’ve had both for several years and never had an issue with either. The Wen has electric start which is very nice and in the past it was cheaper than the Champion. I haven’t checked prices in a while but you can’t go wrong with either unit. Glad the info was helpful and thank you for watching our channel.
@@BuildYourOwnAdventure Thanks you, your videos are very helpful.
an 8000 BTU AC uses at most 800 watts RUNNING - surge is at most 2500 watts for 2-3 seconds... you don't say what size refrigerator - could be anywhere from a few amps to 15 amps... look at the info plates on each appliance and add up the amps...
Do the rear seats flip and lock up for some flat floor storage space??
Yes they do! Lots of room with the rear seat up.
We leave for oregon on tuesday night from arizona . safe travels.
So cool! Safe travels to you as well!
Enjoying following along, I can't wait to do the same at some point. My sister did a cross country trip some years ago and it is unbelievable what you're able to see in that part of the country. Hope you've enjoyed your trip of a lifetime!
Thanks for following along! It has been amazing!! You have to get out west as soon as you can!
I researched Toyota and then got a 2024 titan pro4x drives really nice
My oven knob has "pilot on" for the first turn to the right. Do I then turn the ignitor, and then at what point do I turn to the desired temp.?
If it’s listed that way, you would normally turn the knob to “pilot”. Then push and hold the knob in and turn the igniter until it lights. You will have to hold the knob in for around 20-30 seconds so the pilot lights stays on. Once the pilot light stays on without holding the knob in, you can turn the knob to your desired temperature. Hope this helps.
@@BuildYourOwnAdventure thanks!
We have the 2021 Flying cloud 28 Twin. Love it so much.
Highly recommend to get some snap pads for the stabilizers before they get tweaked. We also got one for the front jack.
Thanks! Short and sweet… and extremely helpful.
Awesome! Happy that helped!
Here again... manual states that the volume button can also operate subwoofer, bass, treble, and balance. Has anyone been able to change their bass or Treble on the iRV62? THANK YOU!
I tried to adjust this as well with no luck...
@BuildYourOwnAdventure I actually figured it out. I held the volume button in and it came up and said USA then I was able to switch to Europe but when that happened, it canceled all of my preset stations. Pressed Volume again and it can switch from Bass to Treble and something else. Found similar info when I Google it and was in a Forest River forum.
AMURICAAAAAAAAAAAA
How accurate is the lie-o-meter?
It usually runs about a half an mpg lower than what the dash says.
Can't wait to see where you're going in Illinois! I grew up in Peotone, Illinois moved away in 1987 then moved back in 1990 to Peoria for a job. I still have family in Peotone. I visit at least once a year. Have fun and I do hope you'll visit Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois.
We only visited Mount Vernon this time. Our big trip was a little rushed, but we got to see so much of the country! We made lists of places we want to go back to. I'll add Shawnee NF to that list!
So what part of the country did it go? I'm gonna miss Big Red I really enjoyed watching the build and getting to know you a little better. Good luck with your next project whatever that may be!
Big Red is in Nebraska! Thank you so much for sticking with me during the build. It was great to get to know you as well. I appreciate it and maybe we'll see you at Jordan Lake!
Should I use a surge protector for my rv with this inverter?
No need for a surge protector with the generator.
My bottom one didn't come off like that, ended up breaking it
Never mind, I had replaced my whole mirror assembly on my driver side and turns out the inside is set up completely different cause this trick worked on my passenger side
Oh man! No way!
Oh ok. Still sucks that it broke. Hopefully a replacement won't be too expensive.
@@michaelbeiler7164is the wiring for your mirror on the driver side hard wired to the light?
it always amazes me when you watch a titan video how many people love the trucks vs chevy,ford, etc how negative that comment section is.
It’s seems to be true. They are great trucks, so it makes sense it would be that way.
Do you find it’s difficult to drive and reserve places at national parks? We are worried about these things, it’s holding us back from this trailer.
It can be tricky getting a camper this size in state or national parks. You really have to do your research and be sure the park can handle large trailers. We have only visited one national park and had no issues there.
I don’t want to install a Ben that raises too the ceailing
There are so many options out there, you can build it the way that works best for you.
I’m overwhelmed by all of the things you have done
Looking at the entire project as a whole is overwhelming! We took on small parts and eventually ended up with the finished product.
On my long todo list for my bus, great video, specs super helpful.
Thanks! Good luck with your to do list. They can get out of control!
Those Imagine campers are sweet. I had been in similar models at the RV show last year. They had some of the nicest layouts and I love the interior color choices as well as their exterior graphics. You've got the perfect tow rig for that bad boy!
Grand Design has great layouts! We looked at many other brands, but kept coming back to them. It's been a great layout for our family so far! Plenty of room of all of us. Yes! The truck has no problem with it!
4AWG is thick enough to use the 40amp version
Yes it is. I wanted to be sure we had a large enough gauge if we choose to upgrade our charger size later.
Question: Why go directly to the battery instead of the alternator?
When connecting accessories to vehicles, you normally connect to the battery or a fuse panel. In a 12V system the alternator is connected to the battery as well, so you are basically connecting the two.
I didn't see the Medoc Mountain Bigfoot.
Maybe next time!
what happened to the Titan XD?
We were out of payload capacity with our gooseneck trailer. I had to upgrade to a one ton.
