Got an electrical problem? Call Tony! Don’t call me cause people are shocked when they find out how little I know about electricity. 🤣 That was my comment. Here’s my criticism, that was too much rain. And here’s my concern, I hope that old converter keeps working for many more years. 👍👍🤠
Nice work. That bugger is very old. Keep up the good work see ya on the next one.
Wow. I thought the converter was mine until I saw the glass fuses. I'm in a 1982 24 foot motorhome. I have a BW3230 that still runs, but it has a separate fuse panel with automotive style fuses. The Fuse panel is on the outside of the coach by the shore power cord along with the circuit breaker panel.
I bet everything still works: they don't make things like they used to. Thanks for watching
Great job.
Thank you and we appreciate you watching.
Hard to believe you hadn't seen one of these old converters yet. They are good until they aren't good anymore. Thanks for the shoutout.
Thank you for all of yours..... for us.
Wowza! Great video Tony! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching
Do you have a video of you installing the additional vent?
Unfortunately no... that was long before we started the channel. But I may consider doing a video discussing how I did it.
@@yourfriendsinthervbusiness I am contemplating attempting it and currently I can not find anything walking through it.
If that were my camper I would upgrade the panel and converter.
Yes, it will probably need to be done eventually. but the owner was selling the coach.
Great job Tony, that’s back when things were made in America and made to last.
That's right... Thanks for watching.
Great work. That sure was an old converter. Thanks Don
It certainly was. Thank you Don for watching.
I would definitely recommend they replace that converter. Could be a fire hazard. Those old transformer style converters were great but they’re old. Great job by the way!
I did ensure all the wiring looked good, I did recommend to them that they need ventilation in that area.
What kind of Amp draw did you have on the 3 DC circuits ? Are the fuse to big or to small for the draw, but it looks like the new lights are LED’s Maybe an independent converter and a fuse block for the 3 if the converter needs replacement or goes out. 😊
It will all probably have to get upgraded one day.
Sounds like you’re talking over a river that’s a lot of rain
It was a good bit of rain..... just another day in the life of an rv tech. Thanks for watching.
Great work, You can only fix junk so much. Don
too true... thanks for watching
I marvel at the engineering and design of those upper and lower plates but what a waste if the working and moving parts are made of inferior materials that can't withstand the environment they'll be subjected to. Demand of the component supplier to produce the spur gear, track, cable, etc. out of quality materials that can last! If they can't or won't, drop them from being supplier or scrap the bed lift feature altogether. Not a good sign on a brand new unit! I'd be leary of it coming down on me as I drive the interstate at 60 mph. What happens in the field away from knowledgiable techs as yourself, when the bed refuses to lift, pinning the seats in prone position and you need to vacate the campsite/parking space? Thanks for the video, the efforts and tenacity needed to address the issue, but mostly the exposure of this design and now we know of at least one potenial serious problem associated with this feature.
You are absolutely right, and we have had to go help a client before with a bed left stuck down and could not drive coach due to it..... gotta be a better way..
@@yourfriendsinthervbusiness Yes there is: when bed is up and in it's safely stowed position, offer to customer to bolt it permanently in place and offer as a "No Charge" insulation upgrade.
Schwintek, cables and wires that can get caught in all that. I don't see one thing that could go wrong with that. Geez !!!!
Not a single thing...
Great work!
Thanks! and thanks for watching..
Nice video Tony. Those Schwintecs are a nightmare.
thanks for watching. yes they certainly can be.
One of the reasons why we sold our Class A and bought a fiberglass trailer with no slides. I’m definitely not a fan of this lift system.
thanks for watching
That was a pain I’m sure , but good job !
It took a minute.... thanks for watching
What a pain! I wonder if the belt drive systems are the same. Vibration alone would cause those teeth to break. Thanks for sharing Tony! Great video!
they certainly can't be worse... Thanks for watching
That looked like a pain. I think i will not be purchasing one of them.
there are other bed lift systems... thanks for watching.
Oh great, another application for Schwintek.😅
Indeed! Thanks for watching.
Dam another pain in the butt by Schwintec (sp) I just don’t know about these things. I do feel a RV tech needs a lot of hands on experience before taking on any repairs to them. There was a lot of stuff there ya just don’t get from a manual 😊
yes, I agree, working on one of these is definitely not for a green bean. Thanks for watching
Sounds like hell. All these lifts leave a lot to be desired that’s for sure.
Thanks for watching..
Thanks for taking the time to explore this Brinkley. Appears to be a very competently engineered+designed+manufactured unit that pleases on day 1 of ownership.
it certainly has some great qualities.... time will tell. Thanks for watching.
Wow, much more going on than I realized. Thanks for sharing.
You bet... Thanks for watching.
Great thinking. Be an RV Tech they said-it will be fun they said. I hope the customer paid for all the time. It’s hard to charge for that, but you can’t work for free.
They did pay for some additional time, but thankfully airxcel will pay out for an ac r&R since it was under warranty.
Great job. I have a 2004 bounder, so for so good. Thanks Don
Don, thanks for watching.......knock on wood...
Great video Tony! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching
Good idea.
Glad you think so! thank you for watching.
Great job. My Fleetwood is also over 20 years old. I had to replace the front unit last year but the rear unit is at least 15 years old is still kicking. Thank you for the great video.
thank you for watching
I like to use wire piercing probes on my test leads.
I need to remember to get some.
Nice rig
Thanks for watching
That’s a lot easier than how I was doing it. Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome, thanks for watching.
Arctic Fox and outdoors Rv have shock absorbers on their rvs as standard equipment.
NICE... IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THEY ALL DID IT. THANKS FOR WATCHING
Great job Tony and Jason.
Thanks, we appreciate you watcing.
Enjoyed watching !
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching
"They're not as narrow as they used to be... kind of like me... when I put a belt on... you can see my swelling... cause I'm fat. - Anyway" 🤣🤣
Great review. I particularly liked the update and the tweaks. I just installed these on a 2008 Cardinal 5th wheel with 4-5/8" louvered vents. Big difference. I have a total of six vents and a dual AC system feeding the same dual trunk lines. It looks like I can use one AC now, as I have better air flow though most of the system. I used a digital thermometer to gauge temps through the rig, did not have the air flow meter. The furthest location from the main AC unit is generally 1-3 degrees cooler that other areas. Since the air velocity is the least at this location, I just leave the dump valve on the second AC open. I will likely tweak further. I took my time while enlarging the new holes from 4-5/8 to 5-1/4 so I have a snug fit (thanks for showing that in your install). For now I have not screwed any of the new vents in place. i will complete when I can't tweak further. Again, great vid. BTW, the folks at RV Airflow systems called me before sending the vents to confirm the size and wanted to know if I measured. I confirmed that I was planning to enlarge the vent openings and mentioned your review.
Awesome. Glad it was helpful. We sent the video to Art as soon as we released it. It really is a great addition to the the rv airflow.
Thats a great tip. Don
Thanks Don.
Excellent video. Simple but if you don't know the trick I am sure that can be frustrating to do!
Very true! Thanks for watching.
I need to get some plastic scrapers. Looking good Tony.
Thanks, see you guys soon.
Easy peasy!
It can be... Thanks for watching.
Need to get a camera man so ya’ll can see exactly what I was doing. Or grow a third arm lol😂
I agree, need a closer pic of what your doing
Like butter!
thank you for watching.
great job you two. Thanks Don
Thanks for watching Dave.
Nice job guys keep up the great work
Thanks. we appreciate you watching.
Interesting solution. I was afraid the way the box was looking that it would slow the air flow down. Customer is King though, if he likes it, you did good. Congrats!
It was tricky figuring it all out, but turned out great. Thanks for watching.
