I love you guys! Keep the content coming. I RV full time vicariously through you guys.
We leave for a 4000 mile Continental USA adventure July 20th 2020.
Mark, you left almost 2 yrs ago or typo 2022?
Mark is living in his fantasy world! 😂
Sue and Mark,
I really need to say that you both are an inspiration to me, because you both take all of the things you do.
Thank you both so much 👍👍😀😀
Wow, thank you William!
As a 2005 Newmar Kountry Star DP owner I share your experiences with unexpected repairs. Your views fixing the stairs were all too familiar to me. Yup, been down there many times. But it’s all good as this lifestyle give us the joys of experiencing the world around us. Thanks Sue and Mark for your time and efforts producing your videos. We truly enjoy them. Be well!
Thanks William,...........the good days outweigh the bad days a thousand to one!
Funny you mention the gearbox would never fail on the step motor assembly. On our entegra Coach we have the exact same steps and motor assembly and the gearbox is the part that failed. While I was at it I replaced the entire assembly and saved the old one for parts, We also went about 2 weeks without step lol.
You reminded me that the gearbox actually have a previous design that was bogus!! The only reason I know that is because on line they a made a big deal about the "updated" design. The original design only had one bushing supporting the crank arm. The new design has a pilot shaft that rests in another bushing on the other side of the crank now as well. Those 11 days without the step were brutal!
Mark, if I were you, I wouldn't complain too much about any of Sue's plants, pedicure skills or trampoline devices....or anything else. Can Do Sue is an amazing young lady. And as she said at 14:04, "Mark! That's enough of that". Funny stuff (hash tag?)
You have to admit that I really take orders well.
What I loved the most was the bottles of Bigwillwax, so beautiful! Good looking bae!
The best! We are going to try to shine up Myles before we get back on the road on July 20th 2022.
I can relate. My beautiful Mountain Aire’s step motor failed last June. I disassembled the failed motor and found stripped out cheap plastic gears. The motor was made in China, and probably from the same factory that produced your failed unit.. Overall Newmar build quality is excellent, but shame on them and the other manufacturers for using cheap offshore components. My coach just turned four years old and the list of failures is extensive. Off the top of my head that list includes multiple a/c start capacitors (Chinese), a charge bridge (Chinese), water pump (Mexico), two shower mixer valves (Taiwan), a shower hand-held wand (Chinese), a DEF level sensor failure (results in 5 mph max ‘limp mode’ until fixed; unsure it’s origin but I am sure not America) and a wire under the driver’s seat draped over a sharp seat cross member which cut through the wire’s insulation and caused multiple major problems as the wire intermittently shorted out. There have been more problems, and a few were covered when the warranty was in effect. Newmar customer service has been outstanding, so all problems were solvable one way or another.
Contrast this with my no-frills 1993 Winnebago Brave which, beyond normal maintenance, needed a fuel pump. That’s it. Decade after decade its American-made components continued to work. A/c always blew cold, heater and hot water heater always hot, zero issues with its Chevy 454 motor and driveline (beyond the fuel pump). There is no escaping today’s component problems because, to my knowledge, all new/newer RVs use the same cheap offshore components.
I am still a huge Newmar fan-it’s a magic carpet when everything is working. RVing is a ball and allows incredible travel experiences, but the reality is that there is a significant work/hassle/stress factor that accompanies the good times!
i can't argue with anything you discussed. If I could have paid another $25k to get a more solid rig, I would have. The breakdowns & cost is a major thing to consider when thinking about full time travel. We will be doing another cost video soon updating all our new costs and the new reality.
Admitantly Mark is funny but it’s the straight man or woman in this case that real brings the smile. You two are a hoot, hope your back to Wisconsin by now, it’s our beautiful time of year.
Thanks John. You are right, Sue just sets me up all day long! We have been in WI since May 4th, and we are leaving in 11 days for our 4600 mile west coast trip. We will be wintering in southern CA.
Hi Mark and Sue! We enjoyed meeting you both in Red Bay! Thanks again for all the time you spent with us. It was fun getting to know you a little. Sorry for blowing your cover lol! But I think we’re even now… we hope you’re having a great summer and we hope to see you on the road again someday. Judy & Boyd.
Our pleasure Guys! It was nice having dinner together.
Mark's a great dancer!
Thanks M.
The list of repairs are endless. Good job fixing your stairs. Ours broke in July in SD and we did not get them fixed until September when we were in Oregon. It was not for a lack of trying though, LOL. We really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work. Mary💕Fred
Oh no! That would have spelled a sure broken leg for me eventually with our stairs out that long!
@@OurJourneyInMyles We had a step stool that I put out for Fred. We changed out many parts with no luck. Normally Fred can figure it out but it was finally a tech in Oregon who was able to fix them and so far they have worked perfectly amazing till this day.
Girard owns red bay acres, your fix it versus the Tiffin center is actually what a few folks who used to work at Tiffin has already started.. Can not wait to see you at an AIM rally or Tampa show with your power glide shirt
You are right that I will wear that shirt only at special occasions! We are fairly sure we will NOT be at the 2023 Florida RV Show this coming year unless we flew in. We are wintering in the Pacific Southwest this year.
Stair motor died on the way to ABQ .Thank God for tie wire and youtube. Never realized how high the rv is when steps aren't working. Glad camping world locations are plentiful.
Wow! Are you saying Camping World stocks the step motors?
@@OurJourneyInMyles Bought a new one in Henderson just outside of Las Vegas 108$ exactl make and model 👌🏾
Very nice singing voice Sue.
I actually thought the same thing when I was doing the editing!
@@OurJourneyInMyles You are a very lucky man, I hope you 2 have many years together on the road and when you decide to give up the road.
Just started watching your Chanel, love the info and good sense of humor, life is to sort to not take things in stride and push on and be happy. You guys are great, look forward to seeing more of your adventures. My wife and I are looking forward too traveling in our 98 American Dream from Idaho to Arizona soon.
Welcome aboard! American Dream Coach,...........YES,....... my bet is it will be awesome,....
We know your pain of having issues on travel days! We were leaving Phoenix on the 4th of July stopped and had the coach washed at Avondale then went to get fuel, on the way to get fuel the tpms went off I knew what happened got to the fuel stop only lost about 30lbs of air got out and tightened the flow through sensor then got the compressor fired up blowed tire back up got fuel and went to go dump tanks at a free dump station it was locked up so we ate breakfast there and left! Then then four days later we stopped and got fuel the better half walked the dog and I pulled away from fuel island to pull over and my wife says Oh no the step cover went farther out than it has before and would not retract so we ate lunch then went to our destination before climbing out over the step cover to fix! Lucky easy fix!
You have to admit that you have to keep a good attitude about how great "most" of the adventure is to get past the "bad" stuff.
We Lovw Trail Link, we have discovered many fun hikes
We don't see a reason to carry bikes if you don't have this app! You will be missing all the best trails!
Two Zephers last week at Mountain Valley Resort in Heber City, UT. They are sort of like a Bigfoot or Loch Ness Monster sighting, very rare!! We are happy with our little Open Road gasser.
Wow! Two at once! That's like the day I pulled into a rest stop with our Honda Odyssey tow vehicle, and two others pulled in, one on each side. (Your not supposed to tow them after 2004 model year.)
You misread the menu, the Dutchstar Burger is actually fried spam on whole wheat bread:)
Wow,..........that would have been funnier!
I enjoy your story telling and how you and your wife play off each other. Having said that if i spend the money you did on a vehicle regardless of type I would not feel my money was well spent if I had to turn into a handyman.
It is definitely about the adventure and shared experiences together. None of us will live forever, and we are going for it to the finish line. Wait till you see our upcoming video replacing our ATR Oasis Boiler unit for $12,500!
Yup... Realities of full time RV life... Happy Independence Day!!🤗❤️
Fixing the rig is a part time job,....
I love you guys! I was laughing so hard with Sue dining your theme song to the tune of Green Acres. Funny you have a New Mar and you’re camping near a fix it shop for Tiffin. How funny! Mark doing his theme song dance that was funny! 😂😂😂😂
We love learning about all the different RV brands. Turns out, the Dutch Star Burger wasn't that bad!
Happy 4th mark and sue
Thanks Terry,.........we are going to a BBQ today!
The Chan man how can you stand him Sue. He makes me laugh because it’s so ridiculous. Haha
I think Sue sees me as a work in progress. It's just taking a little longer than she thought.
@@OurJourneyInMyles no
That was some fantastic engineering with the movable step stool/escalator/picnic table and rope thingy. I’m 6’4 and nimble as a cat, so I didn’t need to think of that when our steps went out two days before we left Florida.
That was just one example on how clever I was in the engineering world, I why I was paid the big bucks.
Mark they probably had to hire to engineers to fill your spot! 🙂
@@zukiboy94 Actually, truth be told, my boss was so good at hiring new engineers, that right out of school these young lads were hitting the ground running by all of us old timers!
Always great advice. Started full-time yesterday! Hope to see you on the road!
Brendan & Lena
Formerly of Frozen Sneakers, Pa.
Wow. You guys are super prepared already,......you have watched plenty of CZcams and know the drill!
Mark I bought this let you know after I use it a little while.
Rove R2-4K Car Dash Cam - 4K Ultra HD 2160P - Built-In WiFi & GPS, Parking Mode
Tell me how you like it in a few months. Good luck!
Just missed you in Red Bay. We were there April 11-14. We did the Tiffin Factory tour as well. Seemed like organized chaos. :-)
I would rate the factory organization and attention to detail in building as follows: #1 is Newmar, #2 is Tiffin and way, way, way down the list was Entegra.
Your videos are awesome!! Sue you're so talented, and Mark is still a hoot!!
Thanks so much Kevin!
Love both your sense of humor. I'm European and living in Europe, so am allowed to ask, what about the American Product Quality?. Was a little shoçked by that seemingly random mess under the rig for the steps. Lucky to have the Chan-Man around to sort it all out😉
Truth be told,........if the average production coach LUXURY RV buyer went on a factory tour, they would not buy one. We went after we already owned one.
We were in Red Bay Acres for a week in January of last year to have some work done on our Tiffin at the service center in Red Bay and have a wheel alignment and chassis batteries replaced at Bay Diesel. Tiffin had suspended the factory tours at the time because of the pandemic. We’ll be back there in October for another week for service at the service center and an annual chassis service at Bay Diesel. We may have our Dometic awning replaced with a Girrard while there as well, depending on the price.
Good luck,.......we liked Red Bay Acres!
What a fun way to start the 4th. I hope you are enjoying the holiday weekend too.
Weekend has been great Rob. Thanks.
You guys are so funny! But our stairs did the same thing and the foot stool/rope scenario is true! We did the same thing since I am a little vertically challenged!
Rats! I thought I was the only one clever enough for the manual stair!
@@OurJourneyInMyles Great minds I guess 😂
Oh Man.. How in the heck did you guys get into our home turf so deep?? I'm going to have a talk with Bob T. about security measures... 😂... You guys even stayed at our home campground, RBA.. That's OK, we're going to snoop around Newmar in September... 😂 Mark did have me going when he said a new purchase and he popped out the chassis tee shirt.. Oh yeah, stuff breaks on these things all of the time Newmar, Tiffin, it doesn't matter.. I warn every newbie about this fact.. Love the Video.. Stay safe...
We have been doing our part to prepare the new folks to RVing that they will constantly need repairs so they don't think they are doing something wrong, or have a lemon!
One small step for Mark and Sue.
Sure am glad that saga is over for a while.
Mark just got in my EEZRV TPMS System really looks Great ! Also the Autoformer still waiting on the watchDog unit.
The TPMS came presetup so now ready to install. Just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help.
The batteries are supposed to last 3 to 5 years. I replace at (2) years so I don't have phantom signal issues. Order replacement o-rings so when you redo the batteries, you can redo the o-ring. If you order batteries from them, at least you can be assured they are not counterfeit. Good luck.
OMG, love the song of Mark’s World…..little does Sue know, I can see a recording contract for her.
Actually, I was amazed how good she sounded with headphones on!
safe travels guys have a happy 4th
You too Allan.
Nice Show . . . YOU ~ ROCK ! !
Thanks!!
Y’all are hilarious. You made my day with all the laughter and Marks song.
Glad to share our typical moments Deborah.
The Girard guys are great. Went there and got awnings last year. Tiffin guys don’t really care if you got a Newmar. Funny though.
Tiffin was a great experience!
Love your videos! Did you notice at the end of this video you clearly show the door combination to your coach?
Yes! We changed it a few times since then now that we know how to do it!
Love you guys! Love all the shenanigans!
Thanks Sue!
Hi Marc and Sue. We had a similar situation with our stair but could not find the replacement [arts. Through IRV2 I found out that the motor and front gearbox is actually nothing but a wiper motor and gearbox. We tried it and instead of paying $275 the wiper motor cost $22 and was a perfect fit and been working like a charm for 5 years.
Ebay has most of the parts cheaper and most of the time Same Brand.
That is a great tip Hector,......many of the headlights and tail lights are automotive ones as well.
Sue & I like Amazon better,.........great return policies!
@@OurJourneyInMyles actually I had more problems returning stuff to Amazon than eBay. Had refund in 24hrs. Amazon it was 7 to 10 days till money was refunded and after multiple emails then phone call. this item was premium seller too.
Mark
Give us a make and review of the telescoping ladder Sue was on. I am ready to buy a 15 foot Bivatia.
Thanks!!!
Our ladder is in the "Roof Maintenance" section of our Amazon Store. We bought a 250lb rated Class 1 Professional Model. Your spec's look great, and our 12.5 foot is slightly too short if you are going on the roof alot. When using someone's YT channel Amazon Store, you ARE NOT restricted to only the items in that store. They can buy ANYTHING!
You can activate a FRESH LINK off the channels website top banner dropdown menu or the CZcams Channel Amazon Icon on the lower left of the channel banner.
A person has to do this EVERY TIME YOU START A “SHOPPING SESSION”, and should never bookmark a link. The link needs to be fresh to have a new tracking “cookie” associated with it.
A person can end up buying toothpaste, a drill press, camera, 3D printer, or virtually anything. Any purchases would help support the channel of your choice with about 3%, and this is done without increasing the cost to you.
Sue and I really appreciate the efforts folks are taking to help support the channel via their Amazon purchases!
Another entertaining video!!!
Glad you think so Ed! We expected to lose a few folks on this one!
Chan man you have a great wife! I can tell you love each other! Thanks for the video. Enjoy your videosà
Thanks Larry,.........she is my everything!
Loved the video. So glad you were able fix the stairs temporarily. And glad the bird didn’t do any damage.
Glad you were able get the other things fixed. How was the Tiffin tour? How was your holiday the Fourth of July? Sue cutting your toe nails? Mark you are funny! 😂🤣Glsc I watch your channel. Have a great rest of the week and weekend. See you soon!
Thanks again for checking in! Fourth of July was spent with great friends that visit us when we are on the road.
Picnic table deck🤣🤣🤣👍
It really was somewhat of an extravagance, hey?
@@OurJourneyInMyles LOL. Creative extravagence.👍 When our steps went out, we settled for leaping out until the part came in. Nothing says luxury quite like leaping out of your RV🤣upon arrival. We're hereeeeeeeeee
Great Video. Red Bay is a cool place. Super nice people there. I think we stayed at the same spot at Red Bay acres. Hope you and Sue are doing well
Thanks, you too Ken! Checked out your remodel video when you sent it,......looks totally awesome and perfectly FACTORY OEM. Looks like it came from Newell that way!
Don’t advertise that Sue trims your toenails, you’ll have the whole park knocking on your door. Happened to me with my parents.
“For better or worse”, you two are the best.
I am going to have to check with Sue if she is game to help offset the new higher diesel costs. Thanks for the tip. I would even get her a new Dremel.
Need to put those bolt/nail cutters on your Amazon page. Lol!
Thanks for the Red bay 👀….been there too many times. Go Tiffin. 😄😄😄.
We ALL spend too much time keeping these things in one piece!
Ayy up you 2,you need to buy one or go all out and buy a Renegade super c.If I was you mark I would put some kind of weather proofing on the new gearbox for the stairs.clean you windscreen and wipers with Vinegar then rain x your windows watching you from Yorkshire England
We will get a new coat of Rain-ex on the windshield, and I just ordered new, slighter shorter new windshield wiper blades.
Thanks for the shoutouts y’all! Hope to cross paths again with y’all before too long.
I am super impressed that you watched this video before we got a chance to send you an email. Lets just say we are jealous every time we watch you guys and see that NewAire! We are soon going to be traveling again, and will NOT have a lot of time to edit with music, etc. Our video style is going to change to "you get what you get".
Awesome to watch my favorite full time RVers. I retired on Thursday, hope to do a lot more RVing and bump into y'all sometime!
Enjoyed your video. You don't know how many "familiar" things you touched on........now if you'd tell me how you get Sue to do those (many) jobs. A small suggestion. I was having trouble with the wipers on my Entegra (such a strong motor, you know) that I replaced my wipers with a smaller size. I went from a 42in. to a 36 and I never miss the smaller "sweep" and the wipers seem to move smoother.
I literally just ordered smaller blades! Because of the giant saddle I have on my wiper arms, it looks like I only had two smaller choices. Either going from 36 to 32, or 36 to 26 inch. Sue and I marked of the sweep of the 26" and it looked that it would be just a little bit too small. I'm thinking 30" would have been the best. Ordered them from Walmart so I can return them if needed. I will have a full report to tell folks if that helped me as well.
Always entertaining and informative.
Safe travels and good health.
Thanks Curt.
Hi chain man, for your headlight use clear tent and you won't have to do it again
I will look that up,...thanks.
We need to caravan with you guys…you are so handy and we…are not! 🥰
No,.......you want to Caravan with my good buddy Paul, the retired, successful beet farmer. He can,.....and will,......fix anything. We both will be on a 31 day caravan soon!
So I have to tell you that you gave us all the code to your door when “Marco” was going in toward the end. Time to change it! 🤷♀️
Thanks guys,........yes we saw that, and we did it another time as well. We just changed it again,.......it's easy to do once you know how!
Love Marks World!
It's a wonderful place to be on most days!
ahh repairs agree team work
The surgeon always need the operating room assistant!
FYI: Going forward please use the proper terminology, "Dumpster Diving" is no longer considered acceptable language, it is now referred to as "Refuse Reconnaissance", your cooperation is greatly appreciated. - Sanitation Engineers Union lol
That is funny. I am going to try to remember to use that!
Great video 👍
Thanks Kevin.
Stumps!
Glad I have the time to fix all this stuff!
Mark did you send your wife to Wife School ? My wife just hits me on the back of my head when I try to
get her to do extra things for me. I will start demanding my wife to start watching your videos. She will
then know what is expected of her after we pick up our motorhome Friday. If this does not work just to
be safe I saw on your store where I could purchase a FeeFee but please put on tape that will not pull out
what little hair I do have on the back side of my head. You Duh Man ! !
For us, becoming a "team" was part of the fun. It especially helps to make both of you ready to go out and have some adventure when one or the other isn't so worn out from doing all the chores! Good luck Jeff! Say hi to the wife from us!
@@OurJourneyInMyles O' yes and it will be a team effort for my wife and I both. Sometime I should keep my mouth shut before trying to cut up. I did not mean any harm what so every.
Just a FYI would not film when you are putting in the code to go in your coach. Other than that great video.
Thanks for the tip. We are getting good at changing the code. This happened one other time!
Can you provide a link to the headlight restorer
Thanks Thomas! I had forgotten to add the direct link for folks in the description area underneath the video. I just added it.

Mark , and Sue do you use the Hero 8 for recording while you are driving down the road ?
Just looking for a good front camera while I'm driving down the road. Just thought the Hero 8 might
be a little of an over kill ?
Definitely get a dash cam for your rig, and even the car. The first one we had, we loved,….but that company only makes professional body cams now.
It is in the car now, and we bought a SUPPER EXPENSIVE one for the rig to record out the front and rearward as we sit in the cab.
It is the: NEXTBASE 622GW Dash Cam I used to have it in our Amazon Store, but I don’t like it enough to recommend it anymore after I used it for a year, and I took it out of the store.
My advice is to do your internet research, and find the best one other than the 622GW. It was supposed to be the cat's pajamas,…………but we feel it isn’t worth the price. The Hero 8 will end up overheating in some wind applications, and with continuous charging the battery while its in the camera. I would get a purpose built unit.
Hey I am sure someone has told you but you entered your code to access the rig on the video. Hope you knew.
Thanks guys,........yes we saw that, and we did it another time as well. We just changed it again,.......it's easy to do once you know how!
SECURITY concern: hey, close to the end of the video you may have inadvertently shown the entry code to the door.
Thanks guys,........yes we saw that, and we did it another time as well. We just changed it again,.......it's easy to do once you know how!
@@OurJourneyInMyles you are welcome, just trying to help. You have such a beautiful coach and we would not want anything bad to happen to you. Safe travels!
Do you guys have/need CDL(s) to drive your rig? What’s the length and GVWR?
Every state has different requirements. In Florida, you do not need a CDL. Our rig is 43' long with a GVWR of 44,600 pulling a 4,500 lb Honda Odyssey.
@@OurJourneyInMyles Gotcha. So it is dependent on what state your rig is registered, not necessarily where you travel? For example, if you drive through a state that requires a CDL for your rig (over 40' and 26k lbs), you're "in the clear", due to your license & registration being FL ? Thanks again for your reply & great content.
@@96RCman Yes,.......if you are compliant in the state your rig is registered in, which should also be your domicile state, then you are grandfathered in every state. Do not live in one state, and register in another. That is tax and insurance fraud.
You mentioned a few times you are getting a new rig. Are you kidding or serious? :o)
We would love a new rig, but will never change what we have unless we win the lottery! We are already living check to check,...........with our savings as backup. We could not afford a payment,...........unless we had 450k subscribers like KYD!
It's is good that you kept the lard asses off of the roof....AZ RV Expert doesn't make house calls....
Shower dome is all fixed, and we are back in business.
👍😎🇨🇦🍻
Thanks for taking a look.
