Our Brand New RV Setup BROKE DOWN!? Are We Cursed??

We were so excited to hit the road in our new travel trailer RV setup! Then, in Endless Adventure fashion, we immediately broke down and were stranded on the side of the road in Michigan 😅.

Tip: Get a hitch lock. When you leave the trailer without a hitch lock, anyone who has a truck with a hitch can hook up to that trailer and its gone. I have been RVing in a 26' trailer for over 20 years and you will not regret spending $50.00 on a nice hitch lock.

[@51-FS]

Even with a 300 dollar lock they can still drive off with the camper. All they do is hook up the safty chains let the jack as far down as it will go and take off....

I'm sure it's frustrating, but what I enjoy about your channel that I think makes you guys stand apart, is that you guys share the good, the bad and the ugly. It's your authenticity that draws me to this channel every week and that you guys are unabashedly yourselves. Hopefully your luck will turn around, but we have all had seasons in life where we feel like we are cursed, and I think it's cool that you guys acknowledge that.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks, Electra. We definitely wish we didn't have to share so much "bad" lately, but that's how life goes, I guess. Sometimes it's all roses and sometime you're broken down on the side of the road. At least it keeps things interesting 😅 Thanks for the support through all the adventures and misadventures!

When she says brand new, she's referring to 1998. What she means by brand new is actually 1998. Her definition of brand new is 1998. By referring to brand new, she specifically means the year 1998. When she uses the term brand new, she's talking about the year 1998. What she's trying to say is that 1998 is considered brand new to her. When she says brand new, she's talking about the recentness of 1998. Her idea of brand new corresponds to the year 1998. By brand new, she means the relatively modern era of 1998. What she's trying to convey is that 1998 is what she considers brand new.

[@mountainman3196]

Actually it is a big deal. You are so lucky that mechanic came out and fixed that for you right away. Anywhere else, it would of had to be towed and you would of been held up for days. That was true luck!

[@ZeChanz]

In my experience, if you ever run a 7.3L diesel out of fuel/air in the line, just take the lid off the fuel bowl and cycle the key until it fills up, put the cap back on and it should start up no problem😅 coming from a diesel technician

[@samstlm]

I feel badly for you guys….have you considered “Endless Expenditures.” :) I will say your positive attitudes are infectious. Take care and good luck….I’m hooked and can’t wait for the next video.

[@carols3517]

No, dont even think of it!

[@1D10CRACY]

Something worth mentioning regarding your truck. I don't know what years were affected, but some of the diesel 7.3 trucks had a plastic pickup tube that would break off near the bottom of the tank and the symptoms would be exactly as what happened to you, minus the water, obviously. Typically these trucks you could not run under a quarter of a tank when they got older, it wasn't a design flaw with the size of the tank, it was the plastic pickup tube broke off.

[@amandareiche9083]

Endless--read the above post!

[@SarahsAtticOfTreasures]

Thanks for showing the bad along with the good. That's why I really enjoy this channel. Love you both.

[@edchenal821]

You guys are fun to watch because you're real. Remember, your truck uses diesel fuel, not gas. Change your engine oil and your fuel filters regularly and your truck will serve you well. Buy a Fort Knox hitch lock for your trailer. It's one of the best.

[@saDetailer]

It’s doesn’t matter if it’s new or old, ITS A FORD!!! 🤣

[@sura-quayarbon6055]

This is a good truck, the water was most likely the major culprit and the low fuel with air just made it apparent. You dont have to keep half a tank all the time, should be fine with a quarter tank. That truck will run for a very long time just needs good regular maintenance and make sure whoever you have work on it specializes in diesels. You may want to look at running synthetic oil too. We did just to help with wear and tear. We also use OEM filters and such. We tow with ours too.

[@scottfree6288]

Wish my wife and I could keep our composure even half as well as you two.

[@BonkersAboutAlice]

"...being sick both ends down onto this guy". Had me in stitches.

[@edcripps858]

If you ran out of fuel at 1/4 tank, your fuel tank pickup foot most likely broke off. Your water in fuel light would have most likely come on if there was enough water in the fuel. If you lift the bed up about a foot on the drivers side, you can easily pull the 2 sending units and replace the pickup feet on the sending units. It's easier than dropping both tanks.

[@amandareiche9083]

endless, read the above post and act on it.

[@grogprotocol1231]

This is the answer you're looking for (old rubber foot becomes brittle and snaps off pickup tube). Rec keeping tank above 1/3 until complied with. Also, a fuel psi gauge is a good idea for older powerstrokes.

[@JD-vl5yh]

Never stop buying vintage. It just takes time to learn your vehicle. Not "dumb" just inexperienced. The more you learn how to do yourself the easier it'll get. My wife and I drove a 1982 Fiat spider from Iowa to Glacier National Park and back then to Panama City Florida in the same summer. Never had a problem, but was prepared for anything. Keep on keepin' on!

[@andreagoodman1636]

Every time Eric said and everything will be great, my heart kinda clinched a little. So far so good by the end of the video. I have a 2013 jeep and a 2019 ionic, and I feel like car issues are a lot on my mind lately! So like everybody else said, it happens and we need to not let it bring us down. Which y’all don’t.

[@frogman6887]

This truck you'll got is great. There are 8 thing besides water that a long journey with a diesel shouldn't be without. 1. Booster box 2. WD-40 3. Air Compressor 4. 1-gallon extra oil 5. 1/2-gallon extra brake fluid 6. 1-qt power stering fluid 7. Diesel fuel additive is 2 types Cetane booster and Anti-Gel

[@cliffordkinnear9705]

I concur.

[@frogman6887]

The Booster that I carry is a 1,200 CA jumper box about the size of 2 cell phones stacked! WD-40 is Best Starter Fluid for any Diesel! These old Diesels usually leak and if the dip stick reads a qt. low its usually 2!

[@frogman6887]

About the Diesel Fuel additives: Cetane helps fuel burn Easier and cleaner. The USA distributed diesel fuel has among the lowest in the world (so far as my research many moons ago.) I only buy Motorcraft Cetane Booster for my old Super Duty! When price shopping it's been the best value per volume that I could find and it's staying with the home company! Cleaner burn/Better Mileage! Anti-Gel is helpful year round. This is because of water dispersants. Eack brand has thier own ingredients blend of concoctions to do the same thing. I use Howes mostly.

[@badgerpa9]

Vin Diesel did the voice of the Giant for the Iron Giant movie. "You stay I go" Change your fuel filter often. You should look for a real pasty shop and try one, they are awesome and filling. Escanaba used to have one of the best shops for pastys, it was an house turned into a little restaurant. Any vehicle can breakdown, if the vehicle had not been driven a lot and you are now driving it a lot things will pop up. I am not a big ford fan but the truck should be good you will have some things that have aged is all. Stay safe and healthy.

[@janicenelson2990]

Come on Guys, you are not Cursed, you are people who love what you do, spreading the word of RV. Come On have faith.

We haven't bought a new car since 1988 and we love the older ones. That said we live just 2 miles from our mechanic and I am a former outboard motor mechanic who put himself through school working at a marina. It's all about the diagnostics. Anyone who says newer would be better hasn't experienced an ECU failing or simply had to replace one of those new LED or HID assemblies. It costs north of $700 for just the labor to replace one on some GM cars. I believe strongly in YTT, yesterday's technology today ! Al from Loni & Al 😍❗

[@virginiacapps9886]

First rule of RV towing. Never let your tanks get below 1/4 . In old trucks they may have "sluge" that can be pulled into the fuel system. This is a major repair on a diesel truck. You were lucky.

The dunes at our NC beach have eroded incredibly over the past 40 years. One of the benefits/results of getting older.🤣 It’s amazing to think of changes that happen over longer periods of time. Cooler weather would be nice. Thanks for bringing us along! Jane in SC ❤️🙏🏻

[@robertcolpitts4534]

Stopped to help a semi truck gravel hauler in Arizona. He had a quarter tank for fuel before starting up an 8% grade. He had the same problem as y'all. You are correct: never let a diesel go below 1/2 tank in hilly country or below 3/8 tank before filling. Recommend you carry a spare 10 gallons of diesel in case you get low and need to add some to get to the next fill up. That's what we do.

[@douglasmisener8760]

I love your truck! What a great opportunity to travel the country in a vintage Ford. For the sake of all the truckers and professional drivers watching, you are driving a diesel now, not a gasoline engine. When you say you ran short on gas we instantly assume you weren't able to fart, because you are driving a diesel, and there is no gas in your truck. Try to get used to saying FUEL, especially if you ever have anyone else fuel your truck, they won't fill it with gas. Your truck and trailer is a truly magnificent-looking rig. It is really great to see good folks towing a trailer that is less than the GVWR of their truck. I would totally drive that baby across the country!

[@paengsolo2047]

Take care you guys. Diesel engines check your fuel filter often specially when you feel it's not picking up very well and it lessens the power of the engine.

[@briansimpson1807]

Absolutely love your videos. I swear I just watched the beans video and they were in the same dunes. Old vehicles are the best they just need a little more TLC. Glade you guys are back up and going.

[@sljack1671]

I think you guys are doing a great job! All of us old timers have gone through the exact same kinds of difficulties. FYI. My Dad had a number of diesel trucks. He found that some of these country gas stations had very dirty diesel (water mostly). He added some in-line fuel filters made for filtering out water. The water collects in a see through container in the engine compartment. Occasionally you twist a valve and drain the water. No more truck stopping in the middle of no where. Very simple to do!

[@beckyyoung725]

Always 1/2 a tank, live and learn! You all are young and are funny! We all did this kind of stuff. I have to say it, FORD= Fix or Repair Daily! 🤣🤣 God’s got ya!🙏

[@everyonelovesfriday2045]

I had a 7.3 my problem with the fuel was the fuel “pickup foot” fell off causing it to run out of fuel early. Might be the issue

[@deansmits006]

Those engines will run a long time, but require specific maintenance, and being old, some things will be worn out. But, the engine won't likely blow

[@christinabroadhead3810]

Encouraging words Noah! Have a great day.

[@-RyN-23]

Alot of people install a fuel sump kit on these older trucks to combat this issue so you don't gotta worry about parking on a incline or driving a steep hill will my truck make it or start if shut off, it draws fuel from the bottom bottom of the tank an does wonders for this issue giving you use on of almost all of the fuel tank vs only 3/4, it's not expensive just find someone you know or a subscriber that can help install it because a shop may take you for 3x the kit price in labor. Kits run around 120$-180$ Just look up FASS fuel sump kit for a good starter place

[@EricandSarah]

Ahh how frustrating guys! Glad it wasn't a major problem... hopefully that's the end of your troubles for a while (*knock on wood*). Love that you keep smiling and laughing through it all though!

[@namerican8510]

Common problem with these trucks is having to open the valve below the fuel filter and drain out any water in the fuel. Then, prime the filter bowl ten times, each time until the pump turns off.

[@krickette5569]

YES! I drive a diesel truck/RAM and we have this same valve. One of the first things we did was learn how to drain the water out through that valve. Also the Diesel Kleen fuel additive. We keep a bottle of it in the truck at all times and every time we fill up, we add a bottle. The reason Diesel's have problems with water in the fuel is because the engines produce water when hot fuel from the injectors is returned to the fuel tank; this produces water from condensation, which settles under the fuel. We bought our truck to pull a cattle trailer and a flat bed to help us out on the farm and we baby it more than we do anything else. It's irritating.

That’s a sweet truck, something else that may have happened is that it may have picked up sediment or debris from the bottom of the tank, I’ve had that happen to a lot of vehicles both gas and diesel that had metal fuel tanks, in particular a firebird l once owned dragged so much detritus up from the bottom of the tank it caused trouble all way up the lines into the carburettor, had to clean out the whole lot.

You guys were so lucky to find a mechanic at that time of day! Just so you know I like your current setup. Good luck on the rest of your journey!

[@hermanmunster3358]

There should be baffles inside the tank to prevent the fuel sloshing round too much. Theoretically, you should be able to drive on any terrain or gradient, and not have such a problem. Your fuel tank would be way lower than half full when your fuel warning light comes on, which is when you would normally fill up. If there was water in the tank, then that may have caused you to break down.

[@cliffordkinnear9705]

Their F250 has two fuel tanks. The RV weight pushes the rear of the truck down at an angle a few degrees. If they are using the rear tank and it gets to a 1/4 tank the pump may suck up air instead of fuel. They should use the rear/aft tank first then switch to the fwd/front tank, that would avoid any possible fuel pump cavitation in the rear tank.

[@hermanmunster3358]

@@cliffordkinnear9705 There you go 👍

[@dragonmac1234]

I wouldn't blame the age of the vehicle or user error, these things happen and you now know to not let the fuel tank get below half full.

Stop buying vintage 5h17…

I think that might have something to do with it.

A monkey would of learnt by now. Thick as mince 😆

[@Theendlessadventure]

Never! 😝 What fun is life if you don't have a breakdown every now and then? But it wasn't really the age of the truck, it was mostly our inexperience with diesels.

I love Endless Adventures but true!

Please please put a security cage on your catalytic converter. You are going everywhere in the US and some places are notorious for those thefts. Get it done before you end up stranded for a long time. Love you guys

[@skylermummert24]

Catalytic converter on a 7.3? Hahaha

[@Theendlessadventure]

This truck doesn't have a catalytic converter, so no worries there 👍

@@Theendlessadventure great just know they are on a lot of vehicles. Glad all the car needs got a laugh. Now if they would like me to quiz them on world geography and history maybe I can have a chuckle 🤭

I'm parked in a storage slot where I don't have power. I worked all last summer in my RV because I had power nearby. I am so happy this cooler weather is replacing the 100 degree days here in the south so I can start doing some serious work again!

Heading to Traverse City and visiting the dunes next weekend. Going to bring the kayak and do a little fishing as well. This is our first year with a travel trailer.

Why are you driving an old truck??? You guys ADMIT you know nothing about mechanics and you have time and time again bought old cars and RVs. That is your mistake, it has nothing to do with your Luck. Old stuff constantly needs to be worked on. That is not a bad thing, they can be fun to work on if you know what you are doing. If you have to call a mechanic every time you should not be doing it. You need to go get a brand spanking new pickup that can tow and then you might still make your schedule.

Maybe they don't have the 💰

[@orlandoteixeira4446]

@@jamiel264 You may be right but based on views and what the average youtuber can make I think they could have afforded a lease. I also think they spent new car money fixing everything on the original rig, then another few thousand on the little red car, etc. Old cars can be very expensive too if you don't know how to do the work yourself. I personally do a lot of my work myself but as I get older I am fine with allowing more and more of it to be done by qualified mechanics, but that also means owning a newer car/truck makes more sense (cost wise).

[@Theendlessadventure]

But what a great way to learn about old vehicles, right?? Obviously we'd prefer not to break down, but we learn so much with every experience. For us, it's been worth it to be able to have vehicles we absolutely love.

[@orlandoteixeira4446]

@@Theendlessadventure I agree to a point. When you want to learn about old vehicles that is great, but they can't be your primary car if you "have" to get somewhere. Also, to learn about them I would suggest you do all the work yourself, with the help of qualified folks, rather then just dropping them off for weeks at a mechanic. That is actually gold content on youtube if you check it out (fixing old cars on video). I am not sure how learning works now, I am over 50 and I learned by trial and error and friends when I was young. My point is while I understand your love of older cars/trucks and I think wanting to learn is awesome you cannot have that vehicle be your ride or die, cause more often then not you will be dead....on the side of a road....with no tools and weeks before you can get into a mechanic because you don't know how to fix (or even understand) what is broken.

[@danielc.2042]

If you have a "bad fuel problem" on a new diesel it's a $10,000 fix. Had it happen to my 2019 F-250. When Ford has to pull the cab off the chassis its bad news.

[@irener1111]

Thank you Alison for knocking on wood! Top tip, your head is always a good substitute when there is no wood available. Safe travels you two

That truck is worth buying it's a great truck . people will die for that truck 👍👍
