Heading Home to KC // RVs are NOT made for Full Time RV Life

[@donaldbrown7252]

if they were built like the price tag one would not have these issues!

[@casketbier151]

Yes, and until the public refuses to accept the garbage being pumped out of the RV factories nothing will happen. The Japanese need to start send quality built units over here and the American manufacture will soon start making and sell quality products. That was the only thing that snapped the American car companies to attention. Thank you.

[@JJs-ClassC-Adventures]

We have a 20 year old RV. We love it and keep making improvements. Our fixes last longer than the original equipment.

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

Haha, I know some full timers who are like this. Practically rebuilt their rigs from the ground up over the course of years! It works for them very well though!

[@russelljennings4065]

We remodeled our 2002 sun seeker and it’s great. Love it we been on the road 1 month traveled over 3k miles and it’s holding up great. Only issue we had was our built in genny started died. So we bought a portable one. Sucks because of the room it takes up but other then that works great

We were warned, by a full time RVer, never to buy a “light” or “ultralight” anything for full time living. They are built to cut weight and are designed to be used for a couple of weeks per year. We ended up with a 15 YO class A diesel pusher that has some issues that need repair, but which is built like a tank. While a class A wouldn’t work for your needs, you might want to look into a rig that is heavier, if you want it to be more reliable for the long term.

[@remo7209]

I agree with that statement. I have this same camper and although I’m not a full timer, we are often in it when at home. I know it’s never going to be as tough as a house but it could have had better quality materials used in construction. It doesn’t hold up well to even the lighter usage. Love the extra room and many things about the floor plan. Just not so much about the quality.

I wouldn't lump all ultra lites in the same category. If you look into Rockwood/Flagstaff you'll find they're better made than most ultra lites. The problem I see with these folks is they bought a cheap camper to try and live in full time. Cable pull slides are a good indicator of cheap. But I've seen several issues on their unit.

Plus we bought a 2 year membership with Coach Net. We have the paperwork that shows it will cover everything. Even the appliances and furniture. We got ours from Tom Stinnett Campers Inn in Clarksville, Indiana. We are in Oklahoma City for the night. Headed to Quartzsite, Arizona for the big Meetup in January. Good luck to you both

[@costapobre9522]

Welcome to the real world. Before we bought our motorhome Bounder, I researched for over 1 year. Yes, it was a long time. However, I learned a lot about RVs and a lot more to learn. We are still new at this after 3 years. I am very handy and fix just about anything on our FullTime (FT) house. Yes, there is always something new to fix; just the same with a house. I do what is known as Preventive Maintenance as overlook every aspect of the coach. Some challenges are cosmetic in nature, others are mechanical; from electrical, plumbing, carpentry, etc. It is exciting. Enjoy the adventure.

[@remo7209]

I own the same camper. Bought it from Lazy Days Tampa spring 2018. Something I just noticed on mine that I suggest you check. On the main room slide where the 12volt power line enters the slide from the main chassis. It enters from the front drivers side corner. Mine, I noticed the floor is soft in about a 6x6” corner around the wire entry. I’m sure it is because the wire entry was not sealed correctly and allows moisture to enter. It’s the only place I’ve found so far. Just my suggestion to check that location on yours. Remove the black silicone caulk wad at the site of entry and seal really seal it back up better than before. I’m going to coat the area is a spray sealant to close it up. I believe this was just a bad caulk job but the slide floor sits down below the slide walls and moisture running down the wall will run under to the fibrous black material. Good luck in your travels and I enjoy seeing what you’ve done with yours comparing it to mine. Thanks, Elon

[@idsullymichaels]

I've always wondered about redoing RV cabinets with metal shelving, plastic bins, and bungee cords to hold those in place. Seems it would be sturdier, lighter, and easier to clean AND organize...

[@donromine7669]

Stick a tooth pick in the screw hole break it off then reinstall the screw tightly, you can use a little wood glue on the screw as well to help.

That was exactly what I was going to say.

[@igowhereimtowed6839]

I have a video of an upgrade made to the suspension equalizer. I found less things moved around inside the rig after the upgrade. We would find doors open with contents on the floor again before the upgrade. Plus I show the plastic bushings wore out after only 7K miles. There are two videos the upgrade and update. Full disclosure we sold our TT early this year and purchased a motorhome. We wanted more space and larger tanks. 99.5% of the time we boondock. We are currently wintering at Imperial Dam LTVA BLM. Hope this helps safe travels and Happy New Year.

[@dondavis5248]

My wife and I don't full time RV but we do go as often as we can. I am all about not only enjoying our time out but also the trip to and from. Last year I made some major suspension upgrades on our 30' TT and let me tell you, it was life changing. It greatly reduced the trailer jerking as well as improved the ride of the camper itself. I'm not saying it will stop the trailer from getting beat to death, but it will minimize it. It's the MORyde CRE3000 suspension system along with the Heavy duty shackle upgrade kit (commonly called a wet bolt kit). This thing is awesome. It adds a 3" rubber bushing between the suspension and the camper itself. It's a little on the expensive side, but well worth it. We love your channel and be safe.

[@virginiaoverlander4720]

Solution for doors..... I ordered new hinges and added them. Like my bathroom door had 3 now has 6. Cabinets with 2 now have 3 hinges. In short anything that breaks of fails make it stronger or better so you dont have to fix it again

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

That's a great idea!

[@jredd801]

Good idea going for the longer hoses, i did same thing, my hoses seemed to leak every season until i went to longer hoses.. i also got away from auto regulators, i teed to hoses together and ran them thru a standard single tank regulator, i just manually open/close the tanks as needed, no more propane issues👍

[@camperatwill3951]

Quick trick to fix stripped screws into wood where the hole has gotten larger than the screw is to insert a wooden tooth pick into the screw hole and break it off and then repeat until it’s filled the hole in and then re-screw the screw back into the hole you filled with the toothpicks. Use only wooden toothpicks and the round kind.

[@Bwanar1]

A little glue along with the toothpicks is even better.

I purchased a brand new Winnebago TT about a year ago. I have been fixing it ever since. :-) Dozens of repairs that are technically under warranty, but I don't have time to drive it an hour to the dealer. I just fix it far better than it was originally constructed - which is pretty easy to do since Gorilla tape is stronger than pretty much any of the materials used in the original construction. Modern RV's are super fun and super horrible. My next one will be an Airstream.

A couple of suggestions for those screws: 1) for the door break off a matchstick and put it with some glue in the hole, let it sit for a few minutes and then screw it in; 2) for that panel,apply Velcro and use that instead of screwing it down again (this gives the added benefit to access the equipment in that compartment.

I would've washed the dog in the lake. She's a lab, she can take the cold for a few minutes. LOL As for those loose screws, put a dab of E6000 glue on them when you put them back in.

Also be aware some makers do not uphold warranties if you live full time in the RV. Make sure to check that when you buy an RV. Full time living can void your warranty.

I just discovered your channel. So happy I did, you guys are great. We full time, 11 years now. Finally found an RV that holds up pretty good to full timing.

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

That is awesome! We certainly didn't think we'd be doing this as long as we have or we would have chosen better to start. I think a different RV might be in our future. ;)

[@judynickolaus4255]

@@NoOrdinaryPath our biggest issue with the RVs was trying to take them to get fixed where we bought them. With the Alliance we do not have to do that. We get a hold of Alliance and they either walk us through the repair or send a mobile tech out to where we are.

Do you know the Hanks they were nurses. They pull a 5th wheel also on KZbin

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

We've not met them before but it's funny how often we've had people confuse us. They're a bit younger and sans kids, they make good content though!

[@steveatnyc10]

I would not confuse you with them yes there are younger but not you guys. He also stated he is related to Tom Hanks on one of their latest KZbin segments. But since you are a nurse I wanted to just let you know both of them are nurses but not practicing currently unless they are treating people on the road lol.

Pam and I would like to wish you guys a Merry Christmas and pray for safe travels for you guys 🙏🙏🙏

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

It worked in a pinch! Merry Christmas

Teflon Tape Works Good, Always only turn one tank at a time, Lake Water for Dog? Merry Christmas.

It was so cold but she got a bath the next day. :) Thanks for watching.Merry Christmas!

[@barrystephens900]

I believe it’s time for a new one!

Get the gas stop shuts the gas off if there is leak

[@bbcooter388]

The Gas Stops would not flag that slow leak as a leak. The Gas Stops shut off the Propane if there is a large leak, like if a hose were to get cut.

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

I have not heard of that. I'll have to check it out.

We only use our Passport for recreation about 15-20 days per season. A lot of the issues you've had with the doors, regulator, etc... we also had but most of them didn't happen until years 6-8. You've been in that rig for several years now full time. All things considered, yours is holding up pretty well. We just stepped into a bumper-pull toy hauler since the kids are mid/upper teens now and need more room than the bunkhouse provides, but we're hanging onto the old Passport for camping with family. Looking forward to your next vid.

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

I agree W. It has surprised us. We thought initially that it was only going to be for a year or two. Went with the ultralight because we were first pulling with that F150...

[@ricklodin2068]

You purchased a camping trailer meant for occasional weekend use, not meant for fulltime living. There are rigs made for full time use that while they still have some issues are far better constructed. It comes down to the old adage, you get what you pay for.

RV manufactures - constantly building new ways to fall apart.

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

Unfortunately

[@edwardyudkoff7137]

Besides making whoopee and eating, what do you guys do?

[@anthonyguess5528]

We like watching your videos you show the real life of RV. We do think you guys are pretty hard on your trailer because of the places that you travel you might want to look into those off-road trailers that are built very solid and can take the road punishment a lot better. I think that trip to Alaska and the Arctic circle shook the daylights out of your trailer and now it's just going to keep falling apart

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

I think your are absolutely right! It was worth it. But your next one (whenever that may be) will be more solid for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@snapperkc9317]

Great video, I’m sorry but your dog’s attraction to the dead turtle, your daughters reaction and the dogs tail wagging under the blanket had me laughing! My wife is watching a tv show and also trying to figure out what I’m laughing at...good luck with your dog and RV issues.

[@dannyvaldovinos648]

Call what current truck are you driving right now?

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

Currently a 2016 Ram 2500

[@msmo2060]

Not enough is said about all those who did covid testing & continued to work through the pandemic. THANKYOU !!!❤️

[@pagepeach8852]

Love your videos. I see that wear and tear is normal. Do you think you would ever go skoolie when it’s time to upgrade Wendy?

[@CrystalsPetsLife]

Sorry you have had so much trouble. At least it’s never boring.😂🤣. And you still seem to have fun with it.

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

The troubles actually add to the adventure. You are right - it's never boring!
