Just did the power plug replacement today and your video played a huge roll. The PEX cutter was HUGE!!! What a beautiful tool and did the job perfectly. Thanks so much for all the great info!!!!!
Nice to see u again. Well done and keep up the good work mates.
Great job guys
This was a fun project. @ayeartovolunteer projects do so much good work for our state parks.
Great video of a Great project.
Any concerns with the additional weight of the new pads?
None with the function of your hydraulic cylinders. What type size rig do you have?
@@ayeartovolunteer I have a 2018 Jayco Precept with hydraulic. We have 9 inch feet. Looking to add the 10 or 12 if we can. Worried that the mechanism may not be built for the added weight. Appreciate the feedback.
@@jeffwenzen3966 You absolutely won't have a problem but definitely reach out to Darius at info@rv-paws.com and he can give you all of the details. If the attachment point and hydraulic rams can lift your Precept, there is zero issue with the added weight difference.
Love that it's aerobic and low impact!!
Thanks Shar but I'll have t stick to my 10 speed bike, I just have to get somewhere where there is better places to ride. That, combined with working on apartments should keep me OK until this winter when I can ride on some trails somewhere. Keep the good stuff coming.
Do both!!
Great routine to get me moving each day 👏🏻
I added one to the 2015 Winnebago Via (25" motorhome on a Sprinter chassis) before we even left the lot where we purchased it. We were able to spend a couple of days on the lot to check out systems before returning to OH form western NY. We've owned two travel trailers with roof top AC units and a Newmar Bay Star with their closed AC system (ac units don't open to the motorhome) and the Coleman Mach AC on the Via is pumping out the coldest air we've ever experienced. The noise reduction is very good and I hear a definite change in the frequency range after installing the Silencer. I believe that the best results depend on being very thorough with the sealing of any leaks with the aluminum foil tape. I used what was included with the Silencer as well as part of another roll of tape I purchased. Thanks for posting the video, and I would encourage any owner of an RV to consider installing the Silencer. Their not cheap, but the "cool" benefits will make you glad you spent the $$$.
Just ordered 9 inch rounds for a '23 Tiffin 37BA - 31,340 pounds at last weigh. Original pads are so mushroomed that snap pads won't stay attached.
Exact same problem and you will never ever regret getting these. We were at the Tampa RV show and saw that the Freightliner chassis had these wimpy little pads on them and it blew my mind.
Glad ur back. We tried to work with you in Oklahoma a long while back, but sadly life got in the way. Be safe and enjoy
Thanks a lot MSgt! We're actually driving through OK tomorrow on our way to TX and have thought of that project. Northeast next year and we have space available in MD. Take a look!
You guys are awesome. We hope the auction goes well. I know there are a few items we will be bidding on.
We will be bidding on this! Thanks for sharing.
Yes please and thank you! We will be getting this! Thanks!
These things are ridiculous! We love them!
Thx for the video... I've seen similar videos. Things to be done seem to be quality issues from the manufacturer from the get go.
Well guys October of next year is a little too long term planning for me right now but who knows. I'll have to check out the auction. Keep the good stuff coming.
Just a note for those not familiar with decibels. A 3 db drop in noise is considered to be half the noise so an 11 db drop is 93.75% drop in noise. Pretty impressive! I'm not sure I want 41 degrees in the bathroom, it could make things pretty chilly. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
Good point! Thanks! Luckily and unfortunately, we don't have a register in the toilet, just the hallway which goes through between the shower and the commode. Just blown away by the simple method to dramatically improve sound and cooling/heating.
You don’t need the noodles if you crank down the arms enough!
Oh, we tried but there's way too much play. The horizontal bar, for example can press tight against the front wheel but then it becomes a pivot point with the wheel able to move right and left and then the bike can lean and bounce into the other one.
Do you have to charge each battery separately or can you charge an array? Thx
@davide8629 you can absolutely charge an array but they should generally be balanced meaning that their states of charge are generally similar. There are some other rules regarding voltage and amp hour differences. Will Prowse here on CZcams can go in more detail but he has charged an array with different battery chemistries as well to dispel some charging myths, but as long as your batteries are connected in series/parallel at the correct charging voltage, no probs charging an array.
Some simple techniques to get rid of pain. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! You know how hard it can be on the body to be in a small space so hopefully these little tips make your journey a little more comfortable.
Great information again
I volunteered there last year 2023? after watching this video for a few months; time flies! Have friends nearby to visit & stay with while getting medical care at UF. Fixing frozen pipes, cleaning pens, replacing hammocks, planting, they have so much to do maintaining the facility. Maybe get back there next year.
We have a Montana 5th wheel and experienced a part failure for the hydraulic system. Getting a knowledgeable tech to come to the rv was a NIGHTMARE. The extended or manufacturer warranty refused to cover it on site. And the tech was a good 'ol-boy selling & swapping parts until he found the problem. And warranty did pay! They didn't want to pay for a tow truck & damages. So now, we are well versed in how to bypass the control panel to retract the slides or raise the jacks. Or both. Never expected to have a second failure! Definitely have a spare on hand now! It's an insurance (fingers crossed!) we won't need it. (Part # 421484 RV Auto Leveling System)
Oh, exactly this. Honestly, when forced, you can figure a LOT out in your own rig. We even have a spare fan motor for our ACs. lol
With wife inside pressing the slide in/out while I "jumpered" motor (like a car starter) and manually open/close specific valve, we successfully moved cross country. Oregon to Florida.
"Schoolie style" 😂😂 that's funny. Glad you were prepared, like all good Sailors are!
I love it when a plan comes together. Being prepared and being able to fix problems yourself is such a wonderful thing.
do you have other videos on the Gulf Stream, like changing the front head lights?
What are you looking to do? I swapped out our headlamps with new highvis LEDs. AMAZING!
Thanks for the information we own the same rig and love it.
Amazing! Definitely need to try it!
It’s super tasty you guys would love it!
Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing that recipe.
3-5 stab method. Look it up! I drove a semi truck for over a year with not much of an engine brake. Used the 3-5 stab method coming down Parley on I-80 from Park City to Salt Lake City Utah and never smoked the brakes. Your mistake was riding the brakes. Learn the 3-5 stab method and that will never happen again.
Thanks a lot for the advice. I think once I realized my brake stabbing wasn't doing as much as it normally did, I'm sure I rode those suckers and made it worse. Not having trailer brakes sucked. We actually found a blown fuse to the 12V power to the 7-pin. Thanks again for the input.
My dogs are perfect 😇
I'm in. Got my 5 today.
Anne yay!!! Glad to hear you are jumping in and already did day 1! Woot woot you go girl!
I get my weekly workout just making the bed in my rv. 😂
Oh yeah RV bed making totally counts as cardio!
Great to see you again. I helped at a state park in Alabama years ago . At that time, it was Eric and Danielle, but no more Danielle. Now it's Eric and Sharon. I'm still RVing and was sailing for a bit. Hope you guys are doing well, and I can see us running into you again sometime.
Hi Eric! Of course we remember you! That was our Buck’s Pocket project in Grove Oak, AL. It’s great to hear from you and hope all is well. Thanks so much for commenting and we hope to see you on the road sometime!
Yup, we are in. Nothing like a challenge to get us motivated. 😅
And y’all do not shy away from a challenge!
100% down for the challenge - great job making the variety of exercises so accessible for all abilities!
Thanks! That is exactly what I was going for. Easy exercise that can be done in a small space or anywhere!
Can't I just ride my bicycle for 5 or 10 miles or maybe swim some laps? Keep the good stuff coming guys.
Swimming laps yes! And if you’re peddling for 5 straight minutes that would work too!
I've had a few brake related incidents, 1 human error + 1 mechanical failure. Once, I got to my destination and backed into my parking spot. When I back up, I turn down my electric brake controller. When it came time for me to leave, I forgot to turn the brakes back up. I was in the city, was approaching a red light on wet pavement, and I ended up locking up the brakes on all 4 wheels on my truck, stopped just before entering the intersection. Quite dramatic. What was funny, there was a cop sitting at the intersection, and he just starred at me for a while until he got the green light and left. I turned my trailer brakes back up, issue solved. Another time, lucky for me it was dry pavement, I was approaching an intersection when my cab lights began to flicker, my gauges died, and the cab filled with smoke, and then the engine shut down. What's bad about that is, no engine = no power steering, and on my truck, my brakes are hydroboost, so no power steering = no brake pedal. Having lost electric power, my trailer had no brakes either. Lucky for me, I maintain my truck as best as possible, and I still had the parking brake, so I locked up the drive wheels on my truck and avoided catastrophe. Turned out that the main wire to the engine's starter rubbed against an engine mount and shorted out that it melted both batteries into plastic goo. Just for reference, my trailer (about 9,000 lbs) is about 1.5X heavier than my truck (5,700 lbs)
Man oh man, what a story. Thanks for sharing. So, yesterday, I checked and realized that we had another issue - the 20A fuse on the (+) lead for my 12V power to my trailer brakes had blown. That means that even if the 7-pin was fully plugged in, we still wouldn't have had trailer brake power. We've been on flat grades for months so not sure when this happened but this was a slow train wreck by the time we hit the grades. Thanks a lot for your own experiences and contributing. It was embarassing for me to tell my story but we all benefit from sharing our experiences. This is how I rolled in the military and won't stop! Thanks again for the comments.
New brake time, the smoke is actually your wallet smoking.
Possibly - they were replaced just over a year ago so we'll see when they inspect and we'll do a follow up.
Outdoor entertainment is very disruptive....tv's, radios, blow up movie screens. Some people think everyone wants to hear there stuff. People, kids walking through your campsite.
Right? Some places in the South break out full living rooms and bring their full-screen TVs to watch THAT game! haha
Thanks to everyone for the great comments so far. We're pretty safe on the road but this was a big screw up. If you're an RVer, definitely read some of the great comments below.
if you would have hit your brakes hard and then let off. they will not get hot. it id from riding them. that cause the problem
Yep, I obviously used them too much trying to slow all that extra weight down. We also found a blown fuse on the 7-pin positive today. Not a banner moment for us. Thanks for watching. Very much appreciate the feedback.
Wow! That happened to us on the same trip. We left Escapade Sunday heading out and for the first time it happened to us. It was speed for us…my husband didn’t use the engine break enough, but also was going to fast.
Wow! Not good. Even typically safe RVers make mistakes and we put this out there as a reminder to stick to the checklist and check everything. There are some great comments on this video so take a read on what to look out for since it happened to y'all too. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. We may not feel as bad now! haha
People who buy m/h with air brakes and no nothing about how the work, just amazes me. Take a class about how they work, how to check, and how to adjust them when needed. You guys are a menace on the road. I'd be ashamed to post my ignorance on CZcams as you did.
I appreciate your opinion but I'm not sure you watched the entire video. The problem had nothing to do with my air brake use going down hill - I just needed more of it because we had no power to our trailer brakes. Yep, embarassing but if just ONE person learns from our mistake, it's all good. Have a great day!!!
Thanks so much for the reminder. Yep, complacency has bitten us before.
Now that the brake material has been overheated the brake linings are probably glazed and possibly cracked. Should have them inspected. Next the axle bearings were also overheated along with the grease seals. Don't be surprised if you have an axle grease seal fail soon. Next the tires were overheated and compromised. Don't be surprised to have a tire failure soon. I have almost 2 million miles driving Class 8 Semi Tractor Trailers. Seen it all, or almost all. Oh, warped brake drums more appear soon. Good luck.
Thanks for the comments and feedback. We're taking the coach in to get everything inspected in a few days. The tires are almost due for a swap so I'll probably do those at the same time.
South Pass. I’ve been over it Southbound out of Lander, loaded with Sheetrock. It’s a long steady pull for sure, but I didn’t think it was 7%. I’m a truck driver. It amazes me watching people drive their RV’s the same way they drive their Cadillac’s.
Even on a flat freeway!
Sunset rest area on I-17 north of Black Canyon City Arizona. Going north out of Phoenix. It’s a steep climb for 5 or 6 miles. In 110 degree heat. Pickups & RVs going right pedal to the floor all the way up. Many of them pulling trailers. When they top out at the rest area, they catch fire & burn to the ground. You can always see several melt spots in the pavement, where someone has burned it to the ground.
@@redmesa2975 we've seen them! So glad they're widening that section of freeway so we can get around 'em. Now you're making us miss home!! :)
60 mph down a 7% grade Your are crazy!!!!!
I definitely was trying to keep it at 50 but yep, too fast still.
Man, glad you guys are good. I recently decided to get back to using my checklist. I almost forgot to pin my hitch. Complacency is a killer. You all be safe and hope to see you soon.
