This is the best instructional video I have ever watched. I have saved it for future use.

Perfect video...thank you

Boy, you sure make it look easy. I've tried this before watching the video.And i'm doing it the same exact way, and it will absolutely not enter

I have an Attwood GE16EXT combo GAS/Electric water heater. I believe there is a design problem on the controller board that causes infant mortality (some might call it a retroactive abortion) of the PCB's transistor that sends 12VDC to energize the Relay mounted behind the heater that sends 120VAC to the heating element. I have had to replace the potted controller TWICE in a 3-year period because the yellow wire was not getting energized. Otherwise, a $0.25 transistor is all that would be necessary. The Propane portion of the heater was working. It is good engineering practice to add a DIODE (1N4001) to clamp the back EMF produced when the relay is deenergized. I soldered the Cathode to the yellow wire and the Anode to the Green wire in position #6 of the connector. This way the new controller's transistor will not be damaged in the future. The PCB's relay that sends power to the Gas Valve may very well have a similar issue but there is no way to add a protection diode due to the potting compound.

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to put this together! My problem ended up being the tiny little fuse on the board

Currently running a Freedom Express 192rbs. Many features/layouts mirror your unit closely. First time I had issues with my furnace not lighting this video solved the issue. This year I was not successful even with replacing the existing sail switch. Do you have any suggestions on the next thing to troubleshoot? Love your channel and appreciate your monthly updates on the industry.

This is a great video, am planning to get one of these for my farm I have low budget so am thinking of buying 08 pilot , 08 ridgeline or 02 4Runner or 04 Tacoma i will not be towing for a long drive maybe 10 minutes drive I will be towing around 3500 to 4000 pounds which will you advise me to go for thank you

We were just there today. Super nice park with a good trail next to the river. Small building with historical info and visitor log. Its amazing to me how this natural "drain" at the end of the river is exactly the right size to accommodate the amount of water flow. Also enjoyed the small rapids. The kids liked the playground.

Just curious. Do you think the donations of campers to the hurricane victims affected the for sale market?

II lived right next to this campground for one year while teaching at Sneads High School. I rented a cabin on Lake Seminole near the bridge. My landlords were the nicest people and they raised quail. I was too young to realize the paradise this was. This was my first real year teaching and that was a handful. Thanks for doing this video John.

Great idea thanks

Have these issues been delt with in the 2024/25 models?

This is Gov. over reach

I see that this video is 3 years old, so I don't know if I'll get a response. You really helped me diagnose my problem, it's the faceplate. Is it possible to buy just the faceplate, or do you have to replace the entire thermostat? If you have part numbers, that would be great! Thank you, Sir!

excellent video! Detailed, no fluff or annoying background music, good speed of delivery, thorough. thankyou so much

John…it’s been stated a lot of times but I have to state it again- thanks for all the information and hands on experience you share with us. I have a 2018 RP Model 177. I’ll be checking the outriggers when I get back to our property. In your blog concerning Outriggers (Nov 2021), you described the construction of the RP floors. Our floor between the sink and bathroom is soft due to moisture. I’ll no doubt will have to replace it. If you have any info to share…I’d appreciate it.

Great video but my furnace doesn't do anything I have a keystone hideout Blower doesn't come on Nothing ????? All the videos I've watched talks about the Blower motor coming on but no heat Need help

Great step by step video!!

This Industry has brought this on themselves. They have NO ONE else to blame . When you make Junk, you get bad news. !!!!!

But do not do this on full-bodied automotive paint.

Good tip! Thanks! Normally there's a rock left there but I've come across a couple I had to figure something out.

Did this... but the new themo is still doing what the old one did. If I turn on the furnace, the A/C kicks on, even when I have the AC temperature set to max. Any ideas folks?

Demand for LUXURY model products from ALL or at least, most brands who feature the ability to upgrade, do better as that product becomes more difficult to procure or, as in this case, impossible in some areas

I boycotted the entire stay coast and will not haul freight into any blue state. California will become a ghost town of they continue on this path. They want to ban all gas classic cars as well. It's a sad state of affairs this country is in

my hook up for water are all outside no compartment for it. im curently doing winter rv living for a couple of more months. my water source is winterized(heated cable wrapped around and insulated, also im using a heated water hose. my only concern is the in between those two which is my pressure regulator and the filter. do those need heated cables wrapped around it as well? or its enough to wrap it with aluminum foil and then insulating more with one of those pool noodle cut to fit to prevent from freezing?

Really excellent video. This will help me apply a new Jayco bird decal today. And yes, you could have saved a lot of time by using plastic razor blades in a blade holder.

Another great video. Thank you!

Just another right as citizens taken away. Tell me again this is a FREE COUNTRY.

Buyers are getting wise. Build quality is horrible.

This happened to mine tonight!! How did you get in?!

California wants you out of your automobile. 👆😡

You are mistaken that is not is what is going on. Only freight-liner and one other chassis maker are afected

What about e bikes on the back? Too heavy?

Thought it was diesel pushers being impacted?

I just won an RV. Any advice ?

Does this only effect the sale and registration in these states? Or will non EV A/B/Cs not be allowed to drive within those states?

Very helpful and very direct. Thank you.

Red and orange I got no DC current. My electric and LP Are not working. If I put a jumper on the white and orange the LP works

another reason to stay out of these states. they lose money like California.

Some class B and C manufacturers do meet the requirements such as Ford. The Tilton Hilton Motorhomes do not have many other vehicles in production that meet the requirements. Frieghtliner and other large truck manufacturers don’t. So this is where the class A folks don’t have a work through for the requirements.

I disagree with your RVIA assessment. Why does RVIA address exemptions instead of providing a clear path to compliance? The RV motorized chassis industry knew this was coming way before the final 2021 CARB rule. RVIA and the chassis manufacturers stuck their heads in the sand. The eSprinter is available, Rivian’s eVan is in production, EV busses are on the road, and we passed several Tesla large tractors. When will RVIA get out in front of this issue with innovation. New trailers are going all electric and designed for EV towing. This is a time when US RVing needs to downsize to become similar to Europe. The large traditional design Class A confirms that dinosaurs still roam the earth.

Theyll probably ban travel trailers because they're towed by 3500 and f350 1 ton pickups, they're going after 1978 or older classic cars, they will ban tractor trailer rigs unless they electric. Many people who come up with these laws will never buy a $300000 0r $400000 motorhome

To me, I would think just getting the water out of the lines and the tanks and putting a little antifreeze in the p-traps would be sufficient, especially in my area. I'm not sure why you need the antifreeze in all the lines? I'm not in the Midwest, I'm in the west where the lows are around 30.

Some unaswered questions you may want to add to your document: 1. Should I close the low point drains on the tank water heater, or leave them open? 2. After antifreeze has been run to all the faucets, shower, etc., do I remove the bypass on the hot water heater, or leave it bypased? 3. Is it OK to leave the anode rod hole uncovered/removed, or should I re-install the anode rod once it is fully drained?

Take note of the anti rv trolls here bty. It's like the way government handled covid. They made-up science as they went. And they learned a great deal. That a good number of sheep bought into the misinformation hook, line and sinker. "To the point where they ""chastised"" those who didn't want to comply". Those people needed to be punished or told they were bad for not believing government always. Now it's carb edicts. Question their science and you might need to be muzzled for so-called disinformation. I don't trust carb or those making up climate rules "as they go". Not one bit. The end game is getting permission from the gov to travel anywhere and taking over all transportation of good/services. This is pure insanity as the power grid will never be able to handle such a load.

dont fight it comply, we love our environment. we are campers. ofcourse we do. it will all work itself out.

*My feedback: RV dealers in any one of those states, MOVE YOUR BUSINESS to a RED STATE!! Other businesses should follow suit too!! These crazy liberal states are going WAY to FAR!! Give it Up!! If consumers want electric vehicles, let the market work. The other solution is to FLOOD those states with "gently used" motorhomes with 7501 miles. Dealers that wish to stay put will now sell ONLY USED. Which isn't a bad way to go anyhow. The other solution is for citizens to vote RED all the time, everywhere!!!*

The blue communist states continue to ban everything and introduce anti-human laws🤬

Good video John ! Why are they targeting RV’s in those states? What about thousands of Semi diesel trucks on the roads every day? Dumb regulations in my opinion. 🤔

Solution to the CARB debacle is rather predictable. Buy the new RV in Wyoming or any other non-CARB State. Of course, it has to be registered, but if California (and others) won't register, you have to register it somewhere. A relative's home in another State? The classic LLC in Montana? California can hardly prosecute you (they may try...but) for failing to register when they wouldn't register in the first place or if prevailed in the lawsuit. And then, of course, sales tax goes to where it is registered, which they won't register - another short-sighted hit.
