It blows me away how people can let something so expensive completely waste away to nothing and think nothing of it..

[@whiffy506]

It’s very common in the US. People throw away completely working stuff when they get bored of it or get something newer.

[@josephperry6822]

I live in Sarasota, FL. When I moved here when I was twenty, I did service work across three different keys where the wealthy reside. Within a couple of years I had furnished an entire house with high-end furniture, including a big screen TV. All of which was given to me from people who lived on those keys! As time went on, cars boats and even an airstream for chump change! No b.s!

Too much money, too little care?

[@martinmicheal4595]

It’s mind boggling I agree people are to use to a throw away society

[@GRANITEMONUMENT]

@@whiffy506 no, no, no, people generally buy an RV when they retire, during their “go go” years, they use it pretty hard until they get to the point they are just too old to run a 50 foot motor home down the highways, . Now they either need to sell it, at a massive loss, or set it aside hoping their children will use it upon their retirement, but it like this one, gets a leak in the roof, or the injection pump fails, the slide out need work, the genset needs work, it needs interior update, it needs cosmetic work, it needs electrical work., now obviously this guy whom donated it, was not living hand to mouth, selling it for 5k would have done him no good, but been a headache.. now I say to all these countries that point to America and complain we live too fat, we waste too much.. bla bla bla, why is your country living hand to mouth, why is your government so rich and still living so modesty??? Oh wait that’s because your country does not have the resources of the USA , you do not have the financial resources, else you would be the exact same way… now your accusations DO HOLD TRUE IN DUBAI , there is actually an epidemic of people just leaving brand new super cars on the side of the road, in parking lots, run out of fuel oh well call Uber and go buy a new car, forgetting where they were even parked., the last time I saw a perfectly good running vehicle just walked awy from or given away for no reason here in the united was NEVER!!!

[@johnabriggs6044]

Diesel Fuel is higher now than many years ago as it now refines to 15 % sulfur and the newer Diesals do use DTF to decrease the smoke and carbon from the burning fuel . As a younger man in the 60th diesel fuel was .16.cents a gallon when Regular gas was .32 cents. I worked in a Texaco Service Station when I was in High School after classes and on Saturdays. for several years. I own a Diesel truck which is a 2003 3500 Crew cab I have records of 20 plus years of what I paid for Fuel each time I refueled my truck and it ride up and down after 237K miles as to what I paid for Diesel Fuel

[@GRANITEMONUMENT]

The statement that diesel fuel costs more than regular gas because the sulfur is refined out, is a wives tale, the sulfur must be removed for regular gas as well… the reason it costs more, is because what are we going to do about it., we’re going to pay for it, and the climate cult has made everyone believe it’s the biggest problem, and people buy it, because the diesel emits visible black smoke, we assume it’s dirty for the atmosphere, yet it’s heavier than air so it falls once it cools, and a gasoline engine will kill you just as dead from the exhaust., what needs to happen is, as diesel truck drivers we need to refuse to pay the price, and shut down until they fix the scam…

[@stevegillis5297]

Also the wonderful government keeps adding more "road use" taxes.

[@yurimig253]

BLUE BEACON TRUCK WASH.. SHE WILL SHINE LIKE NEW.

[@Pantherjonvideos]

Which really makes sense, in a convoluted kind of way..Diesel is now refined to 15 Parts Per Million sulfur(Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel), AND, depending on where you buy it, it will have up to 20% methyl distillates(commonly referred to as 'BIO', as it used to mainly be old used fry oil and grease and junk like that), that good ol Uncle Sam has subsidized and 'deemed' worthy to 'clean up them there dirty nasty diesel motor exhaust'! But, really, diesel, way back whenever we started refining gasoline in the 1900's, was a by product of gasoline refining and was routinely DUMPED because there was no use for it. Until a guy named Diesel(from Germany of all places(YES, that was his REAL name!)) developed a motor that would run on it, and voila! Your 2 cent history lesson!

[@DrFiero]

Oh yeah, check the date on the generator. If it's pre-2002 ish, do NOT load it beyond about 3/4 or in a burst. They had glue issues back then, and the rotor will come apart, spraying the magnets everywhere, destroying the whole set in about 1/0000th of a second! I had a chunk of magnet put a dent in the outer housing once!

[@kenhatfield8239]

"HIGH MAINTENANCE" sounds like the perfect name for the RV... Long time fan from Plant City

[@mahatma171]

We’ve been wondering about diesel prices for 20 years now almost. I have been a diesel owner since it was like 99 cents a gallon. Back then, we blamed Bush “Dubya”. Sure miss the high sulfur stuff, I still have my first diesel engine (6.5L like your Hummer, except I have a Suburban) and it ran spectacular on that stuff

[@stevenreynolds7968]

Working on RVs reminds me of the time I spent sailing with my dad on our CAL-34 boat during our summer cruises to the Channel Islands in Southern California. Tight quarters and a lot of moving parts where something ALWAYS needed fixing, or you would be in big trouble, especially when at sea. At least with an RV, you can pull over, get out and make repairs or adjustments. Kudos for what you are doing with this vehicle, you will get it working in...sometime, so keep us with you as you work on it.

[@charlesjohnson4492]

Jimmy you rock! I love your sense of humor and the fact you think just about anything can be fixed even with a coat hanger sort of speaking. I love your videos but hope for even more that you make. You have great friends to help you when you need them and I am amazed what and how you get so many different equipment running again even after 15 or 20 years have gone by. If I were not on disability after 7 major back surgeries and 2 right hip surgeries in which one includes a full hip replacement and now my left hip needs replacing I am on a fixed income and would relish some of the items you sell but medical bills and being in pain all the time just allows me the pleasure of watching your videos at least since I just can’t afford to buy a lot of the items your web site offers. I live in Texas and can’t drive due to my 5 neck surgeries and 2 lower back done also or I would love to take my wife of 35 years to Florida just to meet you and see your planes. God bless you for all you do for charities and remain safe! As you say what could go wrong with your enthusiasm for getting old planes back in the air for people to see.❤❤❤

[@GrantsPassTVRepair]

The most common problem I see with older RVs are the roof leaks. Over time they can cause dry rot in the frame to where they aren't worth repairing. When storing an RV putting a tarp over the roof can prevent a lot of future problems.

[@kennethiman2691]

Reseat all connectors. Reseat all fuses. Use contact cleaner on everything. Battery terminals should be cleaned too. Basic maintenance will help tons of tiny stuff driving you nuts.

[@lewisgower1954]

Definitely should install a mini split heat pump in the Elvis RV. The fan on the unit needs a way to block airflow so it won't spin when driving.

[@ibiufos]

I don't know how deadly the spiders are in America but some of the ones over here in Australia are pretty deadly. We have funnel webs , Red backs, are the most deadliest ones but we also have some that can make you pretty sick. But as long as you can see them you are ok. Plus not to mention all the poisonous snakes we have. Stay safe guy's What could possibly go wrong. 😅

[@mrnotnomis]

Here in Texas, we have to watch for brown recluse and black widows. Most other ones are uncommon or aren't dangerous. Not sure about FL, but given the environment (hot n humid), it's probably the same. In an unrelated comment, "Hot n Humid" would be a great name for a mediocre 80's cover band.

[@davidcollver6155]

I personally known several people that did this after they retired and the biggest reason they let stuff just sit like this and let it rot is because loss of a loved one and there's nobody to drive it and the finances get upside down on their rig . People just wanted to enjoy the retirement together, to enjoy the rest of our lives together after retiring.

Tires go bad, things leak, mettle line's rust, rubber lines degrade and things start working as you run them again but, things start going bad as you start to run them as well. It will be fine Jimmy.

needs a reseal on everything coming through the roof. ie skylights, ac, vents, the entire roof needs a reseal. the slide needs to be greased and cleaned. generator likely popped the breaker for it when you started it up while it was connected to shore power. battery cutoff contactors need to be checked. electric hot water element probably needs to be replaced and the cobwebs blown out of the gas side of things. water pump seems very weak and probably needs replacing. the engine is probably fine but needs a tune-up. leveling system needs to be serviced. most likely the solenoid for the retraction is stuck. give the thing a proper wash so its clean then get a new seal for the windshield.

A washer dryer would be a nice luxury too. But this one specifically with like maybe 3-400 bucks spent on it and maybe 12 to 24 hours working on it myself and I’d be the happiest man in the world. Always moving, nothing tying you down to one place just travelling and having awesome experiences.

Why is Diesel so expensive? First is "Greed". Next comes "Tax's". Diesel is the first part of the cracking process. Refined into different fuels from there. You are a very intelligent dude, and I am sure you already have all this figured out.

I'm scratching me, since you entered the bus with the bugs😁😁😁🤣

[@rossk4864]

Quite a machine for free! Will this be a driver or donor chassis for the Elvis jet? Before 2000 diesel fuel was cheaper than gasoline. I recall it being quite cheap compared to gasoline in the 60's and 70's when I was a kid and worked at a service station. I have heard a few reasons for steeper rise in diesel pump price: Worldwide demand for diesel has increased with more diesel vehicles, with production and distribution trying to keep up; Federal government raised excise tax which is now higher for diesel than gasoline; and U.S. transitioned to ultra-low sulfur diesel which slowed production and distribution, increasing demand. I have also heard the theory that one is paying for fuel by the pound which for #2 diesel averages 7.4 lb/gal vs. regular unleaded which averages 6.3 lb/gal, also equating to energy yield of either product. Density ratio is 1.17 (#2/reg. gas). Average U.S. cost for #2 is currently $4.02 vs $3.60 for regular (a ratio of 1.12) so the picture almost fits, although I don't think the density theory makes any sense from a marketing standpoint.
