2015 THOR VEGAS RV WE FOUND WATER DAMAGE CLEAN UP TIME PART 2

[@Cerberus1960]

I believe the Buddy heater is classed as indoor safe because it shuts off if there is low oxygen. It can still cause a fire if left next to flammable objects.

[@fillg]

Yeah as compact as everything is in an RV it seems pretty likely that something could end up a little too close and get set on fire. I use one in my garage but I keep it in the middle of the wide open floor

[@davefroman4700]

Glad to see you taking proper precautions. If I had to guess I'd say the buddy caught the front divider curtain on fire. That was one HOT fire. The smoke will be in everywhere behind the walls. Good Luck. Id strip it for parts and equipment and walk away if it were me. And I spent 12 years in the fire restoration business.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Yeah, this is a parts RV for sure.

[@benmac940]

Yeah the only burning low down seems to be around the front seats, and it spread upwards rapidly which would indicate flammable quick burning material such as curtains. But definitely hot, a lot of heat damage and comparatively little burning

[@Flyfinn38]

This is better content than on the TV.. Like cleaning a RV crime scene..

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Not really, I'm watching this on my TV.

[@rsprockets7846]

time to call in the professional fire damage repairs and cleaning crew prob cheeper than rebuidling whole interiors

[@carguy4658]

First suggestion: Move the Dumpster Closer! WOW! You, even do windows!

[@jballard3253]

Tank crack -> because there was snow on the camper when you bought it, probably water system wasn't drained and the resulting low temps froze the water - cracking the tank

[@MartinLegare]

yep, Exactly

[@k13ehr]

Keep cushions etc as patterns

[@mikestickersm3mxb279]

The switch under the main panel with a key, drops down the front bed above the cab

[@ctz4731]

All the stuff to fix it up right resides in Elkhart Indiana and White Pigeon Michigan. They build Thor in that area and many surplus places have all you need to fix it. Check out Bontragers Surplus or Johnson Surplus.

[@Bootneck-RMC]

You will both figure it out and that RV up and running in no time at all.👍

[@HP.Customs]

It cracked because after the fire water was left in the hot water tank then in Minnesota where you got it the water froze and boom blown tank. Those are easy to replace and are cheap, I put one in mine for around a 130 bucks.

[@zrkn1]

I wish you videos were at least twice as long. Usually the slide can be manually cranked out by a couple of long hand cranks that stick in holes outside and near the slides. The hand cranks should be stored in an outside storage compartment.

[@danandyong6653]

I am an RV'er, those "clicking noises" although nice, sounded like the furnace and/ or fridge were trying to start. Should shut both off for now. Also make sure the propane tank is turned off

[@edmo43]

Hi guys, Someone once said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” The great RV restoration project began.👍 Let's do it...

[@johnnyboy830]

Love this project guys keep it up. To me I think it was the heater that caused the fire. Since the placement of the heater when you first got the RV seems like it started in the driver compartment. What I think the person got kickout of their home and was sleeping in there during the winter so they used a heater to keep them warm.

[@zillionzulu]

definitely the handcuffs cause the fire! if I work on this - i just completely remove everything and build it with my layout

[@cindyrose4155]

When you put the slides out, the generator must be running or the engine. The slide outs must have power running to them in order to operate, do not try to operate on just the batteries, the batteries do not have enough power to push the slide out.

[@rsprockets7846]

FYI all your butyl caulking and stuff around windows probably melted and ran chek out for leaks too before you do interior finishes

[@robertbrady9597]

awesome catch of the camper

[@carlgruver695]

This is going to be interesting but overall. I believe you can replace everything and not cost a Fortune

[@doubledeckerbus-foundation]

The burn pattern behind the driver's seat on the wooden panel is almost the lowest point (what I can see on your footage) where the fire was. It can be an indicator that the fire started there.

[@desaint4952]

4:40 I think someone was having a little too much fun with the handcuffs and it got a little too hot to handle if you know what I mean LOLOL

[@larrybe2900]

I thought the owner was a policeman. ;)

[@nislam16]

Big trouble in little China. My Fav movie loved that find. The previous owners had good taste shame balut the fire

[@danandyong6653]

Not sure you know, the small key switch near the awning and slide-out panel needs to be on for slide to operate

[@HP.Customs]

Real question what do you do after the cleanup? Maybe find a wrecked one and use all of the interior or just make new all by yourself.

[@phillipgardner5836]

This is going to be an awesome transformation

[@rsprockets7846]

better than this.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jInTpWV7r7B0h6c

[@HP.Customs]

Excited to watch this build.

[@garyfraser3334]

Definitely getting breaking bad vibes when you are dressed like that heading into the R.V

[@bozodog428]

Great progress guys!

[@2Moza]

Wow it was nice seeing the forgotten Cobra project :) lol I am sure there are lots of Grave Yards Full of RV's just like yours and while your at it check and see if there are any safty recalls on that Rv because i am sure if you look you will find electrical faults that can start fires in most case's .

[@beverlyschramm8166]

I think it was the handcuffs lol that set the fire beautiful RV that is sad hope u make it nice u guys r great

[@peterhancox5268]

Definitely the handcuffs.

[@Roman7628]

Saludos amigos Nikos Brothers.

[@darrinwilson633]

I would love to own one of these. Keep up the good work

[@happychappy5135]

Well done lads, you have done it again..............

[@peabody6149]

Make sure the parking brake is on to make slide work

[@robertlemoine3500]

Very good program.Thankyou.

[@Lycooper1]

Awesome video! Coming a lot great, can’t wait for the huge tear down of the interior!

[@neilbrown3556]

I admire your taking on this challenge but all I can say is good luck getting the smell out.

[@larrybe2900]

Oxone

[@jonsmith6496]

Love these guys! Great channel!

[@phyllisgayhardt3374]

Hey,I’m glad that ur video showed on KZbin. I have been watching all morning. I saw that y’all are based in SC, I thought that y’all would be based in Canada. We live in Texas. We currently have a MW 2017 31’ and thinking to downside to a smaller Class A. Will keep watching your videos and call y’all someday. Take care and keep up the good work!

[@davidb0126a]

1:00 I see the Cobra body in the background. When are y'all going to finish it? Would love to see it completed! 👍👍

[@michelbarbeau8934]

its going good,finding problems to fix,great

[@rrc7426]

Great Job Guys !

[@westie4ageturbo.749]

At least there is no smoke detector going beep every 10 sec! On this one!

[@stephendittemore]

There should be a manual knob attached to a big thread rod that manually opens and closes the slide out.

[@wbbb2]

The clicking noise could have been the water heater or refrigartor trying to light the LP gas, it want light if gas is off, I would think someone turned it off during or after the fire. Can believe the sun screens in the very back melted. I even think I saw where the shower wall melted. Next time take ou around to see all the melted stuff if possible. Can't believe none of the glass didn't break! Keep cleaning

[@pupbiking]

seem like you would have to save some of that stuff for patterns

[@marc5460]

Tnx fore the video !!

[@cheryljohnson4292]

Thank you

[@cndream1]

Might contact the RV maker and see if they would sell you an interior kit to rebuild with

[@rsprockets7846]

RV salvage yards Midwest have similar RVs. And just buy the whole interior less seats

[@ST-cy6we]

That's the fact Jack

[@rickbaker4571]

Strip Uno with handcuffs... I don't know who the previous owner was, but they are MY kind of people!!!

[@howardrice9527]

Keep working on it it going to be sick!

[@williamcantalamessa5231]

Hello from southwest Florida.

[@athenarocar]

Looks like they were living in this thing full time. Buddy heater is most likely the cause, no where near enough clearance for it to operate safely. Tank is probably freeze damage and is common

[@СергейАксенов-ф8ю]

BRO привет из России ,видео NICE🙋‍♂️👍🙂

[@bed1485]

Big big work

[@jasonjansen9974]

I'd like to know before n after, n cost of undamaged unit co.paired

[@josephwoodsides6069]

Looks like it was in cold 🥶 weather froze busted

[@TheGhungFu]

RV water heater wasn't winterized. They'll burst every time.

[@charlesfarmercdpg3685]

can't wait

[@Robsav-yx6vi]

I bet it’s blown fuses when the panel melted that could be why The slide won’t work.

[@joevanlear7566]

Hey guys...great stuff. I live in a 1998 shasta class c. I play music and travel around doing so. My rig needs some roof and electric love. Maybe I drive down from PA, we film it and the repairs and I'll add my colorful commentary and musical talents? It would make for great content! Let me know...also, the word "appreciate" is spelled incorrectly in your Description section. Much love. JVL 😎

[@1980mke]

Did you find the key with those cuffs?

[@clevelandmaker386]

Dude y'all should have hooked up with AAR...he could have gotten you a better RV from his lot in OK

[@scottm3130]

You have your work cut out for you on this one. Looks like it is going to take quite a bit to get it back on the road.

[@rsprockets7846]

Never get that smoke stink out of rv

[@don4364]

Lucky no one was bound in those handcuffs when the fire broke out. A traveling kink palace

[@hishamjumbo]

👍🏽💪🏼 strong men

[@blastingweevil2968]

i dont care what it says on the heater box NO OPEN FLAME heater is safe for indoor use and anyone who thinks they are are just asking to be burnt alive even open flame fireplaces you should use a fireguard to catch flying embers but as most people know wood burners now come with a glass door to seal the flame in

[@jfr55man]

buddy heater probably caught the carpet or seats on fire. tank likely cracked from freezing

[@58royboy]

Did the previous owner ask for the handcuffs back?

[@TermitesRGood1]

4:52 HANDCUFF' Things got a little heated .........

[@t3diver]

I don’t get it: why on earth do so many people on YT see the need for protective gear and then never make use of the hood that is included! Is it so nice to expose your ears and part of your hair to those substances? Why when you already spend the money not take the full protection? It is hot and you need a shower afterwards anyway. Greetings from Germany and please continue with your great videos!

[@oblioi]

deffo a head shaker series :o)

[@ashleyfoster4928]

That is roasted be awesome when it's done

[@vasiliymironets8778]

I'll come buy it as is.

[@Chris-wh2gy]

Mr heater caught the dinnette on.fire ut smoldered and got really hot inside

[@jasonmarks1636]

i hope the tv still works

[@mikeniko2022]

Lol

[@davydtimson5445]

Nikogrimebusters this vehicle burt for a reason so the Niko brothers can find it buy it repair better then when it left the factory

[@mlfoot1]

Do you guys sell your vehicles?

[@marshallallied]

Did I just see some handcuffs? I'll bet the previous owners where alot of fun.

[@korbelkiller7106]

It froze cuz you got up from Minnesota during the winter sometime

[@dabig_guy2204]

@1:54 a pair of handcuffs?😂

[@waltkasak6631]

Heater was too close to the dining bench seat material, it got too hot, and started the 🔥

[@jinan0014]

it was not winterized......and from up North.......

[@rsprockets7846]

They used. Pex tubing but pumps froze

[@c11yan]

Surely that 40k - 45k retail so 30k minimum if fully restored 🤔 $$$$$$$$

[@kpdvw]

So why did it BBQ itself on the inside? Was the Price right? Is all the rehab effort worth your time and investment $$$ ? And who is the dweep who is going to buy it?

[@fergo7010]

👍✌

[@chuckt8457]

Did anyone die in the fire?

[@blancaespinosa5115]

Do I ever do buses

[@VincentParisien]

Sell off those couple of 2x8s and you probably recoup most of your purchase cost... lol

[@joshuaolsen8844]

Those guys should have used the reverse UNO card to save their RV

[@partsdepartment4564]

Its obvious what happened. Hasn't anyone watched "Breaking Bad"? The cooking got a little out of control!

[@outdoorfun]

Turn the f'ing battery switch back off so the water leak stops.... Duh!!!

[@ajbering4357]

First ☺️

[@joetrippi1603]

Could use better lighting while filming inside the RV …little difficult to watch

[@rjr-yp9uj]

turn the water pump off.

[@Jafar-alrubaie31]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💖🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶

[@serhatim56]

Bu kadar reklam konulmaz!!!

[@ontheroadwithjohn]

Im not surprised they set fire to it. Its a flaming ugly looking thing. Buter remorse

[@brianmac3194]

I say it electric fault that did it
