Great video and topic. I pick up my used, 25ft class C that I’m paying cash (got a rv inspection) , bought a used Thousand Trails Adventure membership paid off. This provides me the piece of mind that I’ll always have a RV spot. This allows me to just deal with monthly expenses, which I am disciplined with. I’ve been researching, planning and dreaming of going full time RV since 2021 and I am so excited. I’m taking the online Rv training course to learn how to fix and maintain it myself. I think this is a great lifestyle so long as you research and know what you are getting into and have realistic expectations. I’m nervous but more excited than anything!

What is a thermister

Good job ❤

Slick video! I’d like inquire about your system at 00:48 that you use with your ladder to get the new unit up and the old unit down! Looks like a holder that tracks on a traditional extension ladder. Any words of wisdom? Thanks!

The other reason an AC unit leaks, especially if leaking when it rains, is the gasket between the RV roof and the AC. It is a black foam large square gasket with a square 14" hole in middle. You may be able to see it from the inside if you take the filter down. Make sure your AC unit is not loose. Do not over tighten. To replace you need to pull the AC. This is easy though. There are vids. When I did this, I did not remove the shroud at all. One trick is do not remove all the wires the go the box you see attached to the shroud at minute 1:14. Instead remove the box from the shroud from inside the RV. You can see it looking up. Then unplug the multi-pin connected from that little box to the AC. Now the AC is free from the RV and you can lift it up and turn it over to fix the gasket.

JESUS CHRIST SAVED YOU'RE LIFE.

Thank you for the detail in your videos. They are much appreciated

Where do you go during flooding?

Honestly,thank you so much for this video me and my fiance were smacking our foreheads, we struggle with that damn oven no more! 😂

Love your videos - so informative and easy to follow. We have been full-time RVing over in Lakeland for 14 months now. We love saving money by doing our own maintenance and your videos have helped us achieve that. Thank you so much.

Now RV parks won't let in any RV that is older than 10 years old. Apparently, people pull them in and abandon them because it's cheaper to do that than to dispose of the RV themselves. Or they are not maintained and now the people can't pull them out. This is expensive... This is why my rig can be parked in a parking lot, and go stealth. I'm in a cargo van.

Thank you for this video. Simple and to the point. You saved me $$$.

YOU ~ ROCK ! ! 🤛

Is this inability to lower the water pressure a function of static pressure vs dynamic pressure? In other words,, if you open the sink faucet while the water is on, does the pressure change? Can you then lower the pressure? I thought you needed a faucet open to properly adjust the pressure, but I don't know if this is correct or not.

Thank you. ✌️🙂, Awesome information. I really appreciate your honesty. I'm like you as for being an introvert. I'm feeling that I'm into being an rv person. I've been in a sticks and bricks life and I'm retired now. This has really given me the right stuff to be concerning. Thanks again ✌️😏 🌈🎶

Having a Home base is security.

Cool thx

Back in 1992, wanting to move out of my parent's house, I found a leftover "Shasta" 25RK 5th Wheel that was marked down from $18,000 to $10,000! I decided to live in it at my state's oldest (and nicest) mobile home park. Normal, non-moveable trailer homeowners paid $300 per month for rent, but had to cut their own grass, rake leaves, and shovel snow. RV owners paid $315 per month but all yard care was done for us by the maintenance staff. And le$$ than $100 paid for my electric bill, land line phone bill, and propane gas. It became almost everybody's favorite place to hang out. And my neighbors knew how to roll up my awning during a wind storm, plus knew where my spare key was located un case rhey ran out of food or beverages. Because I didn't want to but a lousy gas mileage vehicle to tow it, I traded it in on a leftover "Itasca Micro Spirit" reduced from $33,000 down to $25,000. Unfortunately, a fall off a ladder prevented me from returning to the park. Have since owned a "Winnebago LeSharo", an "Airstream 22CCD" and an "Airstream Parkway". Can't even afford to, um, "pay attention*!!! 😮

Well done

Thanks for sharing your knowledge of the rv lifestyle. We plan on traveling soon when my husband retires and this has been a very helpful!

Yes you hit it right square on the mail pilot light will not stay lit and turn on my rv lap gas oven. Thank you so much for your succinct video the money I save is much needed for a retiree on a fixed income If you knew how much money I have spent to live full time in a motorhome This video will save a bunch I will follow your advice and let you know 1 hold down pilot longer 2 Clean off thermocouple 3 check for distance between the pilot and thermocouple 4 Replace if necessary and showing how to plreplace. For us DIY we need to see every step it the (take for granted) we need to see. Ex that tiny little screw to replace and even show where you and to seat the thermocouple thanks moke

That install is SO WRONG. Without the plenum duct installed your loosing all the airflow

Nice! but why you don't use the air intake duct? that could help a lot with efficiency.

It sounds like it could be this that is causing the leak. It could also be from your ac freezing up from a refrigerant leak, or even an issue with a poor seal. The only way to find out is to get up there and take a look. Do you have a way to access your roof?

Wow, you made it look so easy and mine is so high I am afraid to go all the way up. And I mine started leaking water and then stopped and still leaks water when it’s not even on. Has to be this.

Thanks for the oven pilot light video. You were spot on about the thermocoupler not being close enough to the pilot light. Saved me a bunch of money. Thanks again
