The First Seven Upgrades to Our Momentum 410THR!

[@dvanzant4906]

I can’t wait for the TPMS and internet videos. Great video as always!!

[@hollydancergirl4]

You guys are couples goals. "I brought you something" "oohh a snack" I love you two.

[@ChangingLanes]

NOTE!!!! I apparently used the wrong glue for the sewer connections which are ABS and not PVC. That said, the primer/solvent didn't seem to hurt anything (not needed on ABS), and the PVC glue worked fine. Obviously not the right glue for the job, but checking the connection a week later, it is still solid. I guess time will tell if it will be a problem. But use ABS glue if you do this project.

[@christinaholligan8299]

The only time I use different glue is on hot water pipes.

[@rogerstruthers3799]

Keep your eye on that , it may loosen over time. If they come off or loosen, clean with solvent then use the BLACK ABS glue. I was gritting my teeth when I saw your video.

[@stevesmi1177]

There is also a multi purpose glue that would work

[@WhiteFox011]

@@rogerstruthers3799 But so polite! LOL

[@davidbooth5851]

I noticed that too ...abs glue is a solvent weld ... But you'll probably be ok

[@moGear6253]

you guys are great people no dout in my mind thank you for shairing the door shade i like the dirty bomb tubes for the dirt bomb hose lmao ....

You're the only owner I have seen on these RV channels that really knows how to do some work. Perfectly! The only other guy I have seen does it full time in Arizona

[@LifeMyWay007]

Search for RVStreet - Retired Navy guy has tons of how to videos and is real big on preventative maintenance.

[@ibMoose2u]

I love Changing Lanes but you’ve clearly never seen RV with Tito diy, he’s an RV how to guru and Jared with All About RVs is another how to guru. :^)

[@WhiteFox011]

@@ibMoose2u I love TITO, but Jared really puts me off. He has good quality videos, but his and my personality is just not a good mix. Not particularly his fault.

[@dannylayton1106]

Jared has Always in my book been the most honest, unbiased and humble guy. My go to maintenance guy and evaluations

[@camustang1966]

Martin with RV Street is great. I only discovered him in the last six months. Jared from All About RVs is also great and has good production and a sincerity to him. RV with Tito is also a good channel. There are others as well. Every one has their own way of presenting things, and personality, production, and charisma playa huge role in whether that channel works for you or not. Some RV’ers (like Chad) are very self reliant, and others, not so much. The other thing about the different channels is they’re always fixing different things from one another, so between them all, hopefully someone is doing the thing you need to learn about.

[@dfnsmn1411]

Best RV channel on KZbin.

[@timj4742]

Thank you so much, Chad. I've learned so much from you.

THANK YOU, Eric!!!! 😀

Thanks for watching! 😊

Thanks Chad always informative

[@stevenboyd7183]

Never hurts to have too much Propane. Sometimes you have to call around when the stores run out. Enjoy how you explain everything and are a perfectionist like myself. I am a Scorpio. Safe travels.

[@chartrand49036]

My 5th wheel is now 2 years old I did all these same upgrades except the propane sensor. Just added that one to my list. Love your channel, your guys are awesome!!

[@Sarahbear2000]

Looks like the crew was able to move your screens inside too! Love seeing these little projects getting done.

[@patcharles2230]

We installed plexiglass on our screen door so we could leave our door open with heat or AC on. Works perfectly and I don’t feel closed in

[@talaven]

GD and Volta did a nice job on relocating the control panels.

[@bs9977]

I love the mopeka sensor. It's a life saver especially at this time with all the cold. Im Just glad my 100lb tanks have a better flat spot for the sensor. I just need to get another one so I don't have to keep switching it to the next tank because I only use propane for my furnace. Thank you for this channel because seeing you guys take care of things yourself and letting us know products you use helps us realize we can do more things ourselves than we thought we could

[@machfive916]

The great videos just keep rolling in!

[@brettstewart4851]

Thanks Chad! Good information as always.

For the Valterra slide valve, I used the regular one that rotates on with clips. I then put a 4” radiator clamp around the base. Once tightened, that Valterra is never twisting off. And, you haven’t made any permanent, glued on change.

[@MrMichaelkc]

Thanks I'm going to try that :}

[@SweetSouthernLiving]

Another great video! We always appreciate how detailed you are in showing the step by step process on these mods. Safe travels y'all!

[@dodyhopper4394]

As an ex employee of a company that made abs and pcs pipe and fittings abs cement we used was black no primer needed. Also abs pipe will contract and expand with temperature changes.

[@JohnnyLawBMC]

Another great video. I never thought about permanently installing the gate valve. I may do that since I love having it. I use it to increase my gray water volume by dumping gray into the black tank and, don't tell anyone, I flush ,y black tank using my gray water when I dump. When my gray is full, I dump the black and back flush it with the gray water, leaving some gray water in the back so I always have liquid in my black tank. Great job, Brudda!

[@WhiteFox011]

No problem, CHAD, I watch all of your videos, in part because of the subject, and part because of the quality that you two produce! High marks on both!

[@jurasicrocker1961]

Hey Chad, Well done and great work. You have the right amount of brevity with detail combined with insight to your videos. Cant wait to see your Internet 4.0 episode too. Keep up to the well done videos on interesting topics. See yo down the road!

[@JoeT.1960]

Looks good 👍👍

[@dvanzant4906]

Looking forward to Ring install

[@leeglidewell1473]

On y'all's Valtera bayonet gate valve, Camco makes a spanner-type tool designed to make removing the cover much easier. Another option is available at any auto parts store. A pair of 12" adjustable pliers for removing oil filters works well too. Safe travels y'all. Giddy up.

[@myleshansel7950]

Great video, a tip for those that do not want the glue in valve, I installed a small set screw to keep it from backing off like you said it can do sometimes. Keep the videos coming

[@brianlykins6663]

Well, it's good to see ya'll making this into your new home. The mods ya'll did on the other rig were all interesting to see. I'm sure this one with mods will be just as good. Hey, at least with having done them before, there shouldn't be any surprises . It will be good to see the three of you on the road again. God bless and ya'll stay safe, keep it running between the lines.

We keep our sewer attachments in a five gallon bucket with lid. That bucket is kept inside one of those spare tire "trash bags". It's the perfect size. We keep gloves in one side pocket and wipe with sanitizer in the second side pocket. We keep our bag attached to the ladder. It's been a great way to keep everything poop related out of our little under storage.

Our hoses are kept in a hose keeper under the rig just like yours. We have a grand design 31mb

Alternative for the step rugs, Prest-o-fit also makes a 4 pack for the MORryde steps. Ours are 2 years old and just as easy to remove and clean when needed. Looking forward to see what products you are trying out or prefer and internet solution 4.0 will be. Your previous videos helped me find a cost effective solution using more affordable hardware for a part-timer.

[@blakep4082]

Really enjoy your channel and watch your videos all the time. With me being from Canada I was really surprised to see you measuring in metric and not imperial when you installed the sensors on your LP tanks.

[@ChangingLanes]

That was just the side that I happened to line up... BUT. I wish the US would just switch to what the entire rest of the world uses. The system we use is just ridiculous.

[@jemarty666]

Careful dave, wanna get something that doesn't burn because two types of power down there and if you have tank heaters danger level is up even more. Be safe bro. Seen it a few times, they put heat tape for water lines next form and poof nice fire burned the house down.

[@davidbottles3035]

@@jemarty666 will have fiberglass where the inferior substandard is now then a layer of solar foil like the factory. Outside of that will be the 2” pink board and then the coraplast protection barrier. There will be no foam or poly of any kind up inside the frame rails of the trailer.

Nice, awesome mods, I know what you mean on the RV Waste Dump Gate Valve that screw on I had it to screw off on me and all I can say I was not a happy camper, so I got the Permanent Mount and glue in on, those Snap Pad are a much have I put them on all of my rv's, can't wait to see the other mods.

[@craigwesson7913]

Though I hadn't tried it you could just leave the nobs and tangs on and glue on as you did with cutting the nobs off and sanding it down and then gluing it up be sure to leave the rubber gasket on as well.

I “cheated” on the Valtera valves. I saw your original video on them and purchased them. Like you said they had a tendency to come off so I glued them on. No dremel needed. Almost 2 years later no issues.

[@John-te4nu]

Have done the same upgrades on our Solitude

[@ramman5784]

Watched a You Tuber who drilled small holes in the valve connecter and installed Kotter pins. A bit of a pain in the butt but it worked. This allows you to change out the valve if it ever fails

[@mikehamilton4826]

[@DoneRightReviews]

SnapPads - Be sure to double check the size you need for your specific rig. I have a Class A DP, and I actually have different size landing pads in the front versus the back; I needed to purchase two different diameter SnapPads. They were worth the $, by the way.

[@housesOTR]

I added a hose carrier. It does not hold two 10' hoses. Funny thing. We boondocked 4 nights to where we were going to a week of FHU. When I went to get my house out, somebody had stolen it. Always keep both ends locked. Luckily I had a spare in the bumper.

[@randlayman2668]

Cool, I just purchased my new trailer and you're doing the trial work for me,thanks, looking forward to seeing more installation videos!!

[@stevem268]

correct me if i'm wrong but those sewer pipes are abs not pvc. if i'm correct, you are using the wrong pipe cement. abs cement is the yellow stuff and does not use a primer. pvc pipe is usually white or gray, it is commonly used for swimming pools and electrical conduit. pvc is black and is used for sewer lines, both in rvs and homes

[@ChangingLanes]

You might be right.. But, it glued on and leak checked just fine. Looks like the glues are similar but ABS doesn't require the primer/solvent. But it didn't seem to hurt anything either.

[@stevem268]

@@ChangingLanes it will stick for while but it wont last. those "glues" for both abs and pvc are solvent weld adhesives just like the model cement we all used as kids for plastic models. plastic models are polystyrene and use a different adhesive as well. i would strongly recommend you remove the valve and redo it. it will come off when the glue is dry!

[@stevem268]

[@edheinlein3747]

I wanted to share with your readers that I purchased 3 of the aluminum tank Mopeaka propane sensors. While judiciously attempting to separate the outer plastic support ring from the inner ring, 2 of them broke! I think it is prudent to advise your readers that after contacting mopeaka about the situation, they have not responded at all? There were no instructions for how one should separate the two rings, however, it appeared to be rather intuitive that the flat blade of a screwdriver inserted in the slot on the tab over the catch barb and gently prying up would be all one would need to release the tabs? I don't know what else I may have done to mitigate breaking the rings? Replacement support rings are $6 each so it appears that if I intend to use the sensors, I'm going to have to shell out another $12+shipping? Caveat emptor!

[@texasmud91]

Roundness of the tank - wait until its empty. Get a block of wood and beat the roundness out…then put your sensor back on with the collar.

[@terryl.6490]

You Mentioned install of a water filter system. With all the extra basement space are you considering adding a water softener too. We have one (internal) and it works great. Recharges are pretty straightforward too.

[@nomadictrekrv]

Timely video with the tank sensors. We had to get two extra 30lb tanks for the Christmas freeze and I also discovered they are a different roundness and the sensors really do not attach well. Good to know about the adhesive cage. Save travels with the new rig.
