I know this video is old, but your final comments about why you sold your camper (the lift arms not being covered) is something I’ve noticed for quite some time as I’ve driven around campgrounds. I have a ‘99 StarCraft with original fabric and learned early on that if the flaps that cover the lift arms aren’t securely velcro’d down (and tucked under the roof), it’s a direct channel for water to get inside the box of the camper. I recently watched a pop up rebuild video where the lift arms had been exposed and the whole lift arm mechanism and cable were full of rust.. Thankfully mine are clean and rust free, and the cables look great.. but that’s the way StarCraft designed it. Coleman pop up’s from the same era never had a covering from the factory…. Just blows my mind. I’m curious how many aging pop up’s have met their demise due to the water infiltration from exposed lift arms (by poor manufacturer design or a bad replacement canvas).

Thanks for watching. I'm sure I could have made a cover for them, but I didn't think we camped in it enough to worry about it. It did have a foam ring around the arm at the base. Maybe when it was new, the seal kept water from getting in.

Why would you leave it down in the dirt where ground moisture can cause more trouble, later. Jack it up and leave it up there. Put a proper floor or at least some kind of masonry lower wall. Water and wood don't mix. It's a lot of work to jack it up.

Thanks for the comment, it's good for others to see things like this. I didn't want it any higher than what it's at now, and the shed lasted over 30 years last time. I should have put down a vapor barrier, but I didn't know any better. I did coat the plywood underneath, and I fixed the standing water issue. The rain was pooling around the shed for years and that's all fixed now so the ground stay nice and dry. I have a few holes in the floor that I use to check the 2x6s and it's stay dry so far. If and when it rots again and if I'm still around, I will end up pouring concrete.

My issue is a (ex. device that is right next to a satellite will connect to my router in basement, or satellite furthur away then the one right next to it) Then devices will get crappy wifi. This happens on multiple devices. Do you have any experience with this. Thanks in advance.

The tires are wide and that a lot of weight on the tongue. It's not too bad when it's moving, but making big corrections it takes some force but nothing major. Gravel should be fine.

Hi -How much was your electric dolly (in dollars) ? We have a bit of an incline in our driveway and our trailer is an intech sol dawn do you think it could do a greater incline than your driveway? - Our trailer weighs about 3000-3500 pounds- how much does the electric dolly weigh and can you (or do you) take it with you to campgrounds? I was hoping to be able to sometimes use it at campsites or rv camps- what are your toughts on it and where did you buy it ?
@Ricks_Tech_Talk 2 ай бұрын
I purchased it direct from the manufacture parkit360.ca/products/force?variant=41156456022197 The Force Dolly weighs approx. 80lbs without the Handle, Ball Mount, or Battery installed. It's easy to disassemble and fits into the trunk of a small sedan or trailer storage compartment. If you have a ramp to drive it up in, it wouldn't be so bad.

@Ricks_Tech_Talk I recently installed this meter and all is great, however when I plug in an On/Off switch to my project the reading is 0% and voltage shows 10.1V If I remove the On/Off switch the result is perfectly normal and I get e.g. 35% battery reading. Why would this be? My project consists of the following: 1) A 12.6V Lithium Ion Battery pack 3S2P 2) LED strip lights (2.0m) and 3) Touch sensitive On/Off switch NOTE: All components are DC (female and male) jack compatible and hence plug and play is possible. I installed the Battery Voltage Meter as described ----> It follows AFTER the On/Off switch. Please let me know your thoughts.

@stephanpieterse6960 5 ай бұрын
@@Ricks_Tech_Talk Thanks for your feedback. To confirm, does this mean the meter needs to form part of the circuit and be placed before the On/Off switch? Why would I get a different reading when I place the meter after the On/Off switch? Shouldn't the reading be consistent regardless?
@Ricks_Tech_Talk 5 ай бұрын
My guess is the current / resistance is changed when it's part of the circuit because it needs to find a way back to the battery for a reading. Just hook it up separate from the circuit. But it should work fine if you want to and a switch in line with it to turn it off. Just make sure it's just an on-off switch and not one that lights up when on. If you have something inline with the meter that draws power, it will mess it up. So in the end the meter and your project will connect to the pos and both to the neg. When I did mine, I had the wires connected to the pos and neg hooked to a XT60 connector, I just plugged the meter in when I wanted readings.
