The Hard Side of RV Life (water leak problems)

[@Vancaskeys]

Thank you all so much for the support! If you liked this video, please like, comment, and subscribe! It's a great way to support us and helps us grow. 😊

I subscribed to your channel yesterday. I've been doing my research for the past 5 months on Class B Rvs and I've watched at least 20 videos of yours since then - very, very informative and sincere. Thank you for all your content. You guys have won a big place in Heaven with all your patience (or so it seems) with Mr Lemon. We were considering buying a class B before the end of the year. What I've learned right away is to stay away from a Thor Class B. We were considering the Thor Rize 18G initially with the same mindset as you had 2-3 years ago, "just to get started into camping" but now, after watching more video reviews that I can remember and reading the comments on the facebook group, we decided to pass on the Rize and go for a better build, even if it is more costly. We won't be camping this year now, but we believe that saving a bit more money for a better build could help reduce the number of problems we could find along the way. Also, we would definitely hire an RV inspector. Our picks could be a Travato 59KL, Sprekko, or even a Unity 24TB. Your experience, told as raw as it seems, has helped us alot! Thank you SO MUCH!

[@Vancaskeys]

Welcome!!! Yeah, we have not had the best of luck with Mr. Lemon but as of late it seems like everything is finally fixed and we are loving our van again. Love that you have done your research and are in Facebook groups learning about everyone's experiences. As you know your tops picks are some of our favorite ones! Can't wait to hear what you end up with!

[@bluezauza]

Just think of all the amazing new skills you are learning Bob!

[@Vancaskeys]

LOL! Agree!

[@MathersOnTheMap]

So fun to watch! We had a blast with you guys! Thank you for the good times and memories!!! We’ll see you on the east coast!!!

[@Vancaskeys]

So much fun!!! Yes!! East coast trip coming soon!

[@elliottk2518]

Poor Bob. If it ain’t one thing it’s another… AND you got him on the🚽 What a good sport.

[@Vancaskeys]

Haha! 🚽💩 😂

[@tevbrannan5885]

Fun video as usual but the sweetest part was Bob holding Wyatt while cooking. So precious.😊

[@Vancaskeys]

Awww it was so fun having Wyatt around!

[@MikeCris]

Happy to see the Mathers made it back safe from Mexico

[@Vancaskeys]

They did!!!

[@MPGunther1]

I can hear the quiet! That Wyatt is a cutie ❤

[@Vancaskeys]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Dana-.-]

Good job 1. Oh dark thirty parking level through the trees, 2. fixing Mr. Lemon!, 3. Boiling yer bacon, 4. Being great pals. All smiles. Have a great week!

[@Vancaskeys]

Awww this is so sweet! Thank you!!

[@doodsanddudes]

Great video. I tip my hat off to you guys that have to constantly keep the vans going. We just sold our boat and it was always something every time. lol. Geez all the things. And that avocado toast looked delicious and filling. Great job mathers fam.

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks so much! Congrats on your 10k!

[@doodsanddudes]

@@Vancaskeys thanks its just the beginning but a nice milestone

[@AlfredandLinda]

Bob it seems that pipe needs a bracket around the pipe so there is no movement when you use it movement= problems you did a good job buddy 👍

[@Vancaskeys]

Agree! Will be doing that. Thanks!

[@robertsmith490]

Was a great episode. Baby was adorable

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks! Baby Wyatt stole the show!

[@danielseifring359]

Jersey Mathers in the house.

[@Vancaskeys]

Yes!!! 👏

[@waltdortch4320]

Never a dull moment with Mr. Lemon. What Leveling App are you all using?

[@dirkvanvuuren6227]

Love you videos, i would put a block on the outer edge of the pipe you installed the block screwed to the under carriage and u clamp around the pipe. Make it solid so no flex. Just a suggestion you guys have the patience of Job😊 God bless.

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks! Great idea. I need to do that.

[@sandydemars8100]

Fun trip with friends! Good idea for fixing the leak.

[@Vancaskeys]

Yes it was!

[@joecutro7318]

Great to see you out and about with The Mathers again! Wyatt has ticked up several notches on the cute meter since we last saw him. OMG 😉👍🏼 Can't imagine how you guys stand that heat in PHX. It was almost 100° up here in WA this week and I was melting. 🔥 🥵 The water weld reminded me of fixing stuff with chewing gum. Glad it worked!

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks, Joe! We sure had fun with them. Wyatt stole the show! We are over here in PHX. Maybe it's time to move on, LOL. Summers are brutal here.

[@karenares2555]

Hi guys, great job on that fix it leak under van. However I have a suggestion for both. How about calling your vans Name.... Mr. Lemonade instead of Mr. Lemon. Lemon sounds negative, because everyone knows a lemon vehicle means constant breakdown,or broken all the time. Where is Lemonade sounds refreshing and positive. The saying goes, when Life gives you lemons(bad things) make Lemonade 😂. A positive name for a future of less problems. Just sharing because you both are Awesome!!! 👍

Oh so awesome! Thanks! Welcome to our channel!

[@liaodesign]

That happened to my tellaro too. Got back from a trip and ready unload the gray tank than where is my hose😂

[@Vancaskeys]

Oh no! We’ve had it happen on our previous van too. Not a good set up.

[@13redwoodlaneusa7]

Hey Bob and Hillary, you guys should give Liz Amazing a call. Maybe she can help with all those problems. Lol.

[@ericj.5757]

It’s a blast following you guys. Thanks for living through the problems that we all will potentially face in in our own vanning camping adventures. Question: what is that level app you were using? Thanks.

[@Vancaskeys]

Aww thanks!!! We bought the LevelMatePRO+ Wireless RV Leveling System and mounted it in our van. It has an app. Here is a link to check it out amzn.to/4byJ7nS

[@TrishBenedict]

I get the Barilla Rustic Pesto. I'm so stuck on that every time I see it on sale at Target I grab a couple. I have six of them in my cupboard right now. But I'll look for the Genovese, too. I'm an abysmal cook, and anything I can toss together quickly, which pesto really facilitates, suits me. (You have a husband who likes to cook. Mine is terrified of the kitchen.)

[@Vancaskeys]

Oh, we will have to try that one. :)

[@Andy-ec9yn]

160K asking price for the Mercedes is pretty good. Gorgeous van and build. You might want to consider it!

[@Vancaskeys]

Agree. It's a fantastic Van!

[@SomeStrangemysterious]

I saw the title of this video and I was like, oh no not again! I just got my 2024 Ram Promaster Ethos a month ago and your videos have been giving me anxiety 😂. This wasn’t so bad though.

[@Vancaskeys]

Hahaha! It was not a big deal at all. We actually feel like the van has been doing really awesome now that we’ve gotten everything fixed. Hope you have amazing adventures in your new van!

[@williamcolter9613]

This was an awesome video😂

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks so much!

[@hideawayhomesllc5103]

I remember that nightime winter video!

[@Vancaskeys]

Right! We did NOT make a good decision that day 😂

[@JasonWD]

@vancaskeys can you list the plumbing bits? I want to get rid of out 20A pipe box thing!

[@CheriBarnett-q1d]

Hi Vancaskeys! You two rock!! What is the machine you use to make coffee? We love your videos! Thank you for all your hard work❤

[@Vancaskeys]

Hi! Thank you! The Nespresso Essenza Mini Espresso Machine, here is a link amzn.to/4cyJkJa - we have had ours for years.

[@CheriBarnett-q1d]

Thank you!! I think I need one😂

[@Vancaskeys]

@@CheriBarnett-q1d Haha! We love it!

[@pianogal853]

I'd love to learn to cook bacon like that!

[@ellessu]

Hi guys! Do you mind dropping a link to the leveling app? Thanks!

[@Vancaskeys]

For sure! We bought it off Amazon. Here’s the link amzn.to/4eYOY8N

[@jim-uu2db]

Haven’t watched a video in weeks and would you know it, a mister lemon strikes again video..

[@Phelec59]

Hi there, I was just wondering what is the app you are using for levelling your van. Have you made mention of this in any of your videos? Cheers from Australia.

[@kcd8973]

Soooo, I love your videos, and I was going to purchase a Tellaro a couple of weeks ago for 75k with 21k miles on it. it was a 2022 just like yours. I was talked out of it by a youtuber that had one and she said it was the worst purchase that she ever made and that it spent a whole year in the shop... what would be your recommendation for an amazing camper van and would you suggest a 4x4?

[@sflscott11]

Nice video as always... a regular guy doing regular DIY stuff with a successful outcome. There is hope for all of us yet :) Safe travels! Oh, and Parmesan cheese is the food of the devil and should be banned 🤮

[@Vancaskeys]

Thank you! 😊

[@shelbykeefe971]

you guys are so cute!! Love ya’s!

[@Vancaskeys]

Awww thank you!😊

[@rod8073]

So the Mathers left Baja! Ok. Kevin laughed when I mentioned you wanted someone to guess the van. I thought you guys went there!🤣 Mr. Lemon strikes again!

[@Vancaskeys]

Hahaha!

[@rod8073]

Do you have to replace your water tank??

[@jasongarcia4482]

Think saw you guys at Scheels the other day. Looked like were ready to get out of that madness as was I lol

[@Vancaskeys]

Haha! That place is a madhouse! But we love it!

[@hideawayhomesllc5103]

I remember that other night-time, winter road trip on "the hill". What's that cool leveling app you have?

[@Vancaskeys]

Haha...we tend to do this more often than we like! The leveling app is from the LevelMatePRO+ that we bought. amzn.to/4eYOY8N

[@TheMcGeesAdventures]

Which camper Leveling App do you us?

[@Rashnak66]

I've gotta admit- I had no faith in that repair.... but if it works it's good.

[@Vancaskeys]

LOL! So far so good!

Yep!

How much do they want for their van?

[@lisam3869]

I make my bacon like that all the time. Not a vat of grossness but fried goodness!

[@richardwilliams9405]

I'm sorry about all your troubles but at least we know what van not to buy.

[@Vancaskeys]

LOL...we have had our share of issues with it.

[@elliottk2518]

No to Thor

[@Rashnak66]

"what van not to buy." Thor is the worst- DAMHIK

[@lyfandeth]

You got it wrong. The door was abducted by aliens. Little grey humanoids who are still probing it.

[@herbbjornberg]

I have a Dodge pro master Winnebago Trovata 2020 just got done off a trip I-have 50,000 miles on it and never had a problem at all with mine. Why don’t you sell yours hate to see so much negativity on KZbin?

[@Vancaskeys]

That’s awesome. Very happy for you. We actually do love our Van. We just believe in sharing the good and the bad of RV ownership. Thanks for watching.

[@shelbykeefe971]

I have a 2020 Winnebago 59G Travato as well! Stuff goes wrong, but for me, it’s been user error! 😅

[@Jeeper-o2y]

A level van life sleep so bougie lol

LOL!

[@joniboulware1436]

When you tradeoff Mr. Lemon, how are you going to entertain us with all the patchwork?

[@bitminerbob6731]

When driving I leave my grey water tank valve open and the grey water dispenses as I drive.
