RV Life On the Road! - Huge Water Leak, Electrical Issues & More Problems 😫

We've got a big problem in our RV! We noticed a bit of water outside of our shower that turned out to be a pretty massive leak, Eric sprained his ankle and wound up on crutches and our backup camera mysteriously stopped working. Just another fun day in RV life 🙈

[@TravelbyDartTV]

Never thought that maintaining an RV is like nurturing a high-maintenance pet - except it's the one taking you on walks, and it's not afraid to challenge your parallel parking skills. If I would be trying to live on an RV for our TV show, without the skills that you have, I don't know how long I will last.

[@CascadiaCurated]

A single crutch or cane ALWAYS goes in the opposite hand. Not on the same side as the injury. Unless you want to teach yourself to walk abnormally, put more weight than intended on the injured limb and quite possibly cause further injury elsewhere. You don’t swing the same hand and foot at the same time normally, so don’t do it with a crutch. Free professional advice, you’re welcome. 😊

[@mikemertz32]

Great advice, I was going to say the same thing!!

[@garulusglandarius6126]

I love Clementine and all the hard work and hard earned you guys have put into her but she’s starting to put me off RV life 🤣😂 Hope your ankles better and your mums doing well as can be Eric ❤️Have fun and stay safe guys 👍 Much love and support , from Britain ❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@bumponlog]

Rv's take a lot of work in general but you're asking for a world of headache buying a 40+ yr old motorhome like these two

[@RockSteady2727]

A damp sponge under a ace bandage cures a sprained ankle. No joker. Safe travels.

[@garypollock1949]

Check your floor pan. You may have a break in it if it is not supported by foam under it. It may also be around the drain when you are standing in the shower. If it is a crack, use a product like flex seal in a colour you can live with and don't use it for a couple days.

[@trumpet.gallery]

Thanks! My wife and I love you guys, so it is only with love that we refer to y'all as "The Endless Misadventure!" Please continue to entertain us with your endless misadventures! We love you guys!

[@annspires8380]

"The Endless Misadventure!" I'm with you on this one! Love how they tackle obstacles. Such positive outlooks and laugh at even the tough things. I thnk it gives a more realistic view of this lifestyle.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thank you so much @trumpet.galllery and apologies for the delayed response! We definitely cannot blame you at this point for the nickname. We always think we've gotten everything sorted and then suddenly our entire subfloor is flooding 🙃

[@sheilaathay2034]

Dont let the nay sayers knock Clementine. Fixing things is a normal part of rv life. Rarely do you get one trip with nothing to fix. Its a small price to pay for sailing down the road in your home! Remember, fancy rv's, yachts, million dollar rigs ALL break down the same way, in the same places, for the same reason. Do not be dismayed!😊❤

[@kgnana4]

Honestly, watching your videos make me know there's no way I would do it your way.

[@DisabledNomads]

10:47 A cane (or in this case a crutch) is to be used on the opposite side of the injured parts. For example if you step forward with the injured side, match the motion with the cane which is on the opposite side.

[@RMarie62]

What I love about you guys is you always show the good as well as the bad be happy be safe

[@nikkifleming6290]

R.I.C.E. = rest, ice, compression, elevation. Hopefully it’s better by now. Love your videos!

[@jillwalls9330]

When it rains it pours 😂😂😂 everywhere apparently!!

[@susandibble3525]

The best thing for an ankle sprain like that is a pair of socks and a pair of ankle walking boots. Crutches won’t help it heal , it needs enclosed support 🙂

[@andil6784]

I know y’all set out to create a really unique space (and you did) but water leaks are no joke. That’s why RV’s are made to have those boring 1 piece shower enclosures. Have you ever wondered why everyone is not installing wood shower enclosures? I’ll bet money that your wooden shower has been leaking into your floor and structure lonnnnnggggg before this new leak you just noticed. I’ve got a great idea for your next video……..”Eric and Allison replace their wooden shower with a fiberglass all-in-one shower enclosure from Home Depot”.

[@inthesun3884]

It is so pretty though! Water can easily leak through a small crack and create a whole lot of damage over time.

[@kassiepatchak6027]

Eric, “What the heck else could we do to fix it?” Allison, “Set it on fire.” Eric ignores comment. 😂😂😂

[@Jake.Gentry]

Not gonna lie, I clicked cause he had no shirt on and I love the way he talks 🤩 On another, I love watching their adventures while I sit here doing statistics homework.

[@FloridaandBeyond]

I am wondering if being in Death Valley caused the seals to crack. Heat can cause problems sometimes. Hopefully you can fix it soon!

[@marjorie3951]

I love you guys and have followed you for a few years. Not to be heartless but I think you should rename your channel “Endless RV Repair”. 😉 Keep the faith! 🙏🏼💕🫶🏻❤️

[@omegajackson]

The endless adventure can make a water leak fun.

[@duckypam]

Oh yeah that ankle looks painful. Can’t wait for the Alaska trip. Tell clementine to stop acting up

[@jeffhampton2767]

Going on a boat to Alaska is an excellent idea and will probably be very scenic, seeing all the beautiful coastlines. I will enjoy those videos!! 👍🏻👍🏻❤🇺🇸✌🏻🙏🏻

[@Posey12345]

If I had a 4X4 rugged top of line truck then I would drive in Alaska not with Clementine

[@blackbob3358]

[@grayeagleswolves]

Hi Eric and Allison Let me start off by saying Eric I'm sorry your hurt and hope you heal up faster 2nd Allison Way to go on the Driving a Manual Transmission 3rd ok I've been Rv-ing for 30 plus years and in my years of Experience I've had to learn this method its the Jug bag tub and toss method By that I mean this right here Since water destroys Everything you have to put tubs in the sinks and put a shop vacuum in the rest room and vacuum out your shower and toss it away Tubes in the kitchen and jug ALL your water that way you have Zero issues of freezing and leaks

[@jzakary1]

Just my two cents, but I would dump the jerry gas can. I had one on my Jeep, and the gas turned bad after 6 months because of the ethanol. Also, if someone rear ends you, you've got a Molitov cocktail on your hands, 😊

[@Posey12345]

I agree with you

[@AnimalChatter-br1cv]

I agree...100%

[@arrowv1]

The Money Pit is a funny movie. Reminds me of your RV adventures. Hope you heal up.

[@jeanthurman9355]

Feel soo bad for you too. Really enjoy watching. I believe most have no idea the amount of time spent developing your segments. Someday consider showing the behind the scenes of hours spent on the entertaining videos shown.

[@juliemac5604]

The reason you’ve got shower leaks is because you put the wood behind the shower pan instead of inside it. Inside the shower pan forces the water to drain back into the pan, instead of seeping down the wall, like you are experiencing it.

[@slalomking]

What ?

[@juliemac5604]

The walls of a shower should drain the water back into the tub, instead of allowing the water to drain behind the tub.

[@hershelman]

If you come back down this way, explore Washington's Olympic Peninsula. Mountains, ocean, rain forest, Port Townsend (one of three Victorian seaports on the National Historic Register)... and more. Fabulous place to live... and visit!

[@kimberlycannon6050]

The best thing about that RV, is that you can sell it.

[@kbrown5523]

I can't help feeling disappointed that you are bypassing some of the most varied and beautiful terrain in the U.S.A. to go to Alaska. Washington State alone offers one of the world's only temperate rainforests with the most amazing old-growth forests, the Olympic Mountain range, and the Pacific Ocean coast with beautiful beaches, all on the Olympic Peninsula. The San Juan islands are so beautiful and fun to explore by ferry, and Mt. Rainier and the surrounding area can't be beat for beauty and wildlife viewing, and that's just a tiny taste of Western Washington. The eastern half of the state has a whole other climate and sights to see with the Cascade Mountain range separating the two halves of the state. I can't believe that you spent so much time in Death Valley, but just blew by some of the most beautiful scenery there is in the whole Country in Oregon and Washington. Alaska has been done over and over in travel video after travel video. The only videos I see of the PNW are all about Seattle and Portland, but there is soooo much more to these states than the cities. You missed a huge opportunity, and it makes me a little bit sad.

[@agentdreyer2]

You’re probably off the crutches by the time you may see this but as a physio/physical therapist, you may find it better to have the one crutch in your opposite hand rather than on the affected side. This means you can step a bit more naturally & put weight through the right side as you step with the left foot. If this makes no sense, there’s plenty YT vids to demonstrate & you might find it reduces pain & feels a little more like your natural gait 👍🏻

[@brettotte6470]

Get a $3 engraver from harbor freight & engrave all your keys & locks. Helps so much.

[@KieranM37]

You guys NEED to drive back down through BC. Maybe cross through either alberta or down through idaho montana wyoming etc. opens you up to some unbelievable adventures in what should hopefully be a really nice fall

[@jimmyrosen9424]

Been there with the shower. You are using the wrong sealer. Use Dow Corning all purpose sealer. You can get it at a big box store. It comes in regular tubes or calking gun tubes. It stays flexible when dry and won't flex loose. Drys clear. This will fix your issue. Don' t use regular calking. Dow also makes a windshield sealer. Pick up a tube of that while you are out. We don't want Allison to have a wet crotch!

[@skkeech]

Compression socks and REAL shoes.

[@dremawhite8714]

New RV's can give you the same type of problems. Thankfully, you can do a lot of the work yourselves.

[@zachlafond2652]

Need to caulk that windshield or that issue will never go away. If that thing causes any other issues just drive it into the Pacific.

[@TheLuckie222]

Wrap the inside with plastic or run a shower curtain all the way around. I’ve done that in my house and you never have to clean the walls and never any damage. Good luck.

[@tedfalconer1838]

The New 40 foot RV I purchased had a million problems. Not mechanical problems, but how about a fridge that fell out of the wall at 15 mph. How about the microwave simply falling on the counter below while on the 10 highway in the middle of Phoenix. This was a new RV ! So good luck!

[@tm8747]

this may sound funny to you, but alays put a little vasoline on the connector outside in the weather, on the threads ! vasoline is clean in use and its a great for waterproofing the connector outside.

[@kbittorf335]

That manual transmission is in and of itself an anti-theft device, I would bet less than 20% of Americans could drive it. No worries, I snub the engine occasionally on my jetta as well! I too, have the same issues from time to time when I have an injury to my left lower extremity and am unable to work the clutch. This was a great adventure, great because you two demonstrate the resourcefulness to tackle any issues life throws at you!👍

[@lindar4648]

One more issue I hope you are concerned about. We had an RV where the windshield caused a leak which damaged inside the front door and dash area. The problems will just get worse the longer you wait to fix them. Good luck.

Eric, two weeks ago, I too twisted my left foot, but I chose to use a boot because I also hurt my right side of my body, so I knew I couldn't use crutches. I'm still recovering! Hope you recover faster than me. Love your videos. I hope you start having better luck with Clementine. I love your camper.

For your rear camera problem buy a wireless video transmitter it avoid u running wires to your camera to screen u just hook to 12v from your rear ceiling lamp in clementine then 12v to the receiver hook to the monitor 😁👍🏾

Geez you guy’s have been thru some rough times with Clementine. You are very patient and always trying to remain positive. May I suggest a vehicle name change to Lemontime as she seems to suffer some ongoing misfortune. Anyway, enjoy your Alaska adventure and safe travels on the road. 👌

[@saena971]

I really feel for you guys and all the difficulties you had this week, but I have to say I'm also really disappointed that I didn't get to see you explore Oregon at all. I've been waiting to see your reaction to all the beautiful landscapes we have here ever since you talked about hitting all 50 states, and it's kind of a huge letdown that none of that happened. Maybe someday you can come back and give this amazing state the attention it deserves.

[@Theendlessadventure]

We're gutted we didn't get to explore it either. Sadly Eric's ankle was just too swollen to do anything. We've always wanted to explore Bend and more of Oregon, so we'll definitely be back. Hopefully with healed ankles and a little less wildfire smoke 🤞

[@vonderdornburg]

Bend, Oregon - one of the places I would love to explore! I spent only a brief few days there about 40 years ago and it was amazing then. Hope you have smooth sailing to Alaska!

[@debbieplueger6199]

What a shame that you missed exploring Bend. We were just there a few weeks ago and hiked to Tumalo Falls and actually found a path down to the Falls. We were able to walk behind the waterfall! What an experience!!

[@marie-francegiroux7990]

stop the flip flops if you can ! The last time I twisted my hankle the doc told me if I continue wearing those, I'll surely see him again. Quit the flip flops abd that was the last time ! ;)

You may want to add the plastic walls to your shower as they have a step out at the bottom so water is forced into the pan. The ferry from Bellingham to Alaska is crazy expensive why not drive up through Canada? There is so much natural beauty to see driving up through BC and the Yukon

[@craigcampbell1843]

Water! You can't live with it, and you can't live without it! Even on a home tub, I've seen just a slight separation in the calk allow the water to actually creep upwards over the lip of the tub behind the wall and cause damage. It sounds like you could maybe have a similar problem! Good luck with it! 🙂
