You make it seem so easy! Thanks for demonstrating this. I feel encouraged to do it myself.

[@TheRedalert30]

I'm not into diy or plumbing and don't have a rv thought I wish I did, I found that surprisingly interesting and encouraging :-)

[@akbychoice]

Instruction and pictogram printed and sealed in plastic attached to the inside of the access door really help minimize turning the valves the wrong away.

[@justinanderson8912]

You win ‘Most helpful comment I’ve seen this year’. Thank you, Sir!

[@Home-GrownHomestead]

That’s great. Thanks for demystifying the process. Strange coincidence I have been working on our plumbing today so great timing

[@sean223]

Here comes the BOOM- nice video. Bought a vintage and am gonna redo the pipes. That’s one of the hard parts. Thanks man.

[@joesmith-fi1sx]

Very cool. I need to re plumb my water pump to the house plumbing they had it setup to be pressured from a hose Need to figure it out Make some cuts. Trying to figure out if the old metal fittings or connections are reusable or need to cut the pipe and make new stuff.

[@vamaranthus4555]

Thank you so much for this video. You helped dispel the intimidation i had about repairing my Lance Camper lines myself. your links to the parts and tool you used were invaluable. I ordered everything i need to fix mine. Enjoy that wild Alaska, me and my family would love to move up there! Liked and Subscribed.

[@TheCooGuR]

Excellent video!

[@outliersoverland]

Thanks.

[@ewawronka3575]

I suppose shark bite would be fine since the water pressure in a trailer is nothing compared to the water pressure in a city waterline

[@joyce7892]

That WAS easy. Thanks!

[@blondestrainger]

Thanks for the pex video but as a professional plumber we wont use push on sharkbite fittings. vibration is rough on the little oring.They make us a lot of business. Use crimp fittings but in a pinch on the road SB is ok . Cheers!!

Repair water leak in rv

[@blondestrainger]

Rick diculas go ahead and spread your pro shark bite the rv industry uses only at check valves as it’s easier to replace and get to . It is not industry wide either . Ac o rings are set up differently as well. They are set in metal tubes that when tightened they don’t spin around on plastic. You wrote a very long misinformation piece ! Use as a temporary but not permanent situation . Use crimps ! Easier and less expensive .

[@blondestrainger]

Rick diculas most are used by Home Depot mechanics Real plumbers love to fix the leaks just saying

[@blondestrainger]

We try not to make the same mistake by using something that we can only use out in the open if it leaks we use parts that just don’t leak my profession depends on it

[@123456773934]

you did right , but the copper shark bite fittings are not compatible with plumbing antifreeze the seal inside will end breaking causing another leak if you really had to use shark bite you should have use the plastic version unless you use compress air to winterise it

[@mejorado51]

Thankyou even though I was hoping to see if clamps could be taken off not cut..but thkful

[@DavidHBurkart]

Thanks!!

[@dvach6352]

Sharkbites do blow off. I'm a plumber, and I have seen it happen. They're good to be used temporarily in a pinch, but don't leave them in your expensive RV

[@outliersoverland]

Our new camper was built entirely with Shark bite fittings. I keep an eye on them.

[@gonebyrv9748]

I've not found that to be the case. Removed an inline water filter on our Class A MH 11 years ago and used sharkbite fittings to re-connect the piping. Still holding today (2021) and has never leaked.

[@XxN8iVeSc0uTxX]

You the man thanks my dude

[@outliersoverland]

Glad to help

[@fayskelley]

What is the tool you used to cut the hard plastic so it’s square ?

[@outliersoverland]

Look up pex cutters on amazon.

[@Dutchiexpress]

Thinking about trading my grizzly 700 for one of these 550. I know it's not going to have the power of my grizzly but that's ok. Have a hobby farm and could use it around here more than 4 wheeler. If it goes 80 km thays pretty good. Overall I'm looking for a machine with longevity not speed anf like u said in video it's easier on belts u joints etc. Just want it to last a long time. Overall would u trade a 700 grizzly for one of these

[@alphabetsoup7918]

It's a water heater, NOT a hot water heater. Why would you want a water heater for hot water?

[@debbietaylor8091]

Thanks for the video if ever comes a time I need to do this I will be sure to contact you for ...HELP!!! 😁

[@josephinefaulk1280]

I didn't see you use any plumber's tape or top off the plastic pieces you put together with 100% silicone. Did you do that at all?

[@outliersoverland]

Thank you for watching. It was not necessary, if things work as designed. Those threaded pieces are a flare / compression fitting and the sharkbite ones should not leak.

[@hubblecontrols1305]

I have plastic black isolation valves that are made out of plastic and they seem to be pushing out the back side and leaking. Does that require that the valve replaced in its entirety? Or can just the O rings be replaced?

[@outliersoverland]

Wow, I'm not sure... Check with a plumbing store... Best of luck.

[@loriruggles116]

How do you just turn off hot water for bathtub

[@outliersoverland]

If there’s valves you can use them to bypass areas of your system. If there’s no valves put some in.

[@dhaskinsful]

I did learn something! I learned when to tirn on my pump! I too am changing out some shit on my water heater, yi k e

[@patriciafortune8200]

Did you use glue on the tubing for the connections? I need to do some rv plumbing

[@outliersoverland]

No, they just snapped together.

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

FYI Those shark bite fittings are notorious for letting go and causing leaks.

[@jeannetteviera9299]

What can be use instead?

[@Robnord1]

@@jeannetteviera9299 The white Flair-it fittings are a good choice. So are Pex crimp fittings, either pinch clamp or copper band type. Anything but Shark Bite or anything similar. They are garbage for permanent repairs, but good for temporary. My job? RV repair for 24 years.

[@flawlessvic]

@@Robnord1 are there any other vids or articles on what you're talking about? I'm about to full-time and know I'm going to need to fix plumbing at some point lol

[@gonebyrv9748]

I say that is incorrect. I've used Sharkbite fittings many times and they have never leaked. Perhaps you aren't preparing the pipe correctly and inserting them correctly.

[@nicholaskaramanos5288]

drove me crazy he didnt open the bypass to check if it had any leaks im sure he did it off camera but still

[@johnnypoppyhead4116]

no leakie pipes here ..ha==I save on using electric ..have no pumps ,no water tanks , Lift with my hand & water bottles . Us deep dish pans (have no sinks -no drains) Empty by hand(more good exercise) dish pan water into 5 gal buckets-that have covers..only fill half way=5 gals of waste water is too heavy for me.Shower by dipping 2 quart pickers of heated water over me self..soap & rinse-poof i am clean..

[@legaleagleandpaws8198]

Good job and thanks for doing the shopping....lol

[@nicholaskaramanos5288]

you allways wanna have extra so you dont have to run to the hardware store also dude: i bought extra so im gonna run to the hardware store to return them

[@jasonbatt3068]

nicholas karamanos at least won’t have to go back to store rite away to fix ASAP. Can return at leisure later on, or just keep til next time or another project.

[@gregormiller4037]

@nd cold you've seem to have in the last few months...ya need to boost your immune system my man. I know im tellin' something ya already know, but I've been eating fresh crushed garlic, on bread with butter, in my eggs etc. Havent been sick in over 12 years.

[@gregormiller4037]

GaaaH, forgot bout that, OK, i'll stop near and around a full moon:)

[@jerrybrock5335]

Like your video's. Just have to say that it's a water heater or a cold water heater. Not a hot water heater. You don't heat hot water you heat cold water. Lol

[@weejohnbb]

Gerald Brock well technically it's a hot water storage device and after the first heating of cold water the thermostat then kicks in to heat the hot water, so yes, you are correct and so is Ben.

[@epmcdonald4562]

Gtfo! Aren't you a Brainiac! About as sharp as a rat turd at both ends.

[@ohioflips5570]

Help if my water system is drained and not hooked up at all. No faucets, no toilet, everything open. Do I need to somehow cap everything and winterize it anyway? Please & Ty

[@outliersoverland]

If you are 100% confident that there’s no water in your system there’s nothing to expand and break. But… water has a way of settling into low places and could crack an elbow.

[@ohioflips5570]

@@outliersoverland thank you. I was thinking about taking the elbows/traps and blow are through the system

[@outliersoverland]

Dumping some antifreeze down the drains is easy insurance.
