Koa are great when you have young children because it’s nice to have running water and sewer when you need to clean kids up and all the things that go along with that. We enjoy the pools and playgrounds for the kids knowing that when we go there it’s a resort and not a forest camping experience.
Completely agree. Thanks for your comment.
6 years and I’m here. Haven’t replaced any of the parts but have been taking it apart the past two years when the tracks and rollers came off alignment. Started well this season and now it’s not doing anything. Considering cutting my losses and getting a replacement
That is actually what I did. At least you got 6 years, mine only got 4 years of service. Thanks for the comment.
Does this unit scrub algae as well?
It will scrub whatever is on the surface but it will not kill algae, you need chemicals to kill that. Thanks for the question.
What you didn't allow for here in evaluating your training's efficacy is to what extent Cosmo **wanted** to be in the rig rather than back on the ground...and going back on the ground not only was more dangerous looking down at where he could fall, it was not where wanted to be and he certainly didn't want to leave the inside of the rig which, no doubt, correlates in his mind with **wheee, going with dad*** stuff. He's a sweet old boy, so tolerant of the mere 'humans' that you (and we all) are...good ol' friend-boy! Would like to know, maybe I missed it, the weight capacity of the stairs... and ur stairs were still a little unbalanced, tilting to the viewers' right just a bit...better to have that VERY slight tilt go towards the car door so the dog, when it's doing the most dangerous-seeming act of descending, feels stabilized on one side and would move with more confidence. They WANT to jump bcuz it is, in their world and the angle at which they live, more seemingly safe to jump than it is to navigate those crunched up stairs. Would've like to know weight of dog and rating of ramp or maybe I missed that. THX for your efforts... as you attempt behavioral modifications with your sweet, 4-legged, BFF, can you see if you can quiet yourself completely and send your senses into your dog ... imagine you perceive sound, smell,... just as he experiences it and you were just kind of along for the ride. Just deeply relax and see to what extent you can kinesthetically **feel** your dog, the slightest movement or sensory perception... be him (so to speak) and create that level of a bond... if so, it will grow to enormous extents in all your inter-species interactions. THX FOR THIS.
Between the both of us we finally got it all together and had a nice long trip. Thanks for describing some of the complexities involved here, I'm sure it will help my viewers who share similar challenges.
I just got 4x michelin defender LTX tires
Yep, they are still available. Thanks for the info.
I traveled the country with my grandparents in a beautiful Airstream towed by a Cadillac.
You must have some great memories. Thanks for sharing.
Other than engineering I gotta ask what causes this? Is WD hitch and how it is set up a factor?
Some are starting to suspect WD hitchs especially when used on a HD truck. I just don't know to tell you my gut feeling. Some are going to an air hitch which I have no experience with at all. I hope (but don't expect) that Airstream is doing controlled testing on this issue and will eventually announce a cause and possible solution. I don't have much faith in the L-Brackets as a total solution. Thanks for your question.
which make and model is this step?
Here is the link on Amazon, thanks for asking. amzn.to/3VT3YfO
The cord is the weak point of this unit. It is a poor design. The cord leaks.It won't last a season. It has nothing to do with the quality of the water.The swivel component of the cord is faulty.
Agree the cable is the weakest link to this device. When Maytronics told me water balance was the main reason units fail; I immediately knew that was a cop out! Thanks for your comment.
We have stayed at that KOA twice and owe them a debt of gratitude. They accommodated us when the other RV parks in the area were closed and rolled out to find us a site and get us settled. Generally we stay at KOAs, because they have sites when other CGs do not. The down side to KOA is that many were located directly next to loud Interstate traffic or train tracks. We look long and hard for ones that offer a quiet stay and Albuquerque is better than most. We have never used KOA pool or bathhouse facilities, and we have walked away from the high price of Holliday parks. We find the Journey parks to be competitively priced, their reservation system convenient, and their management to be helpful and suopportive. They are not the only chain we use, but often find them to be the right solution for the location.. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and I'm sure other campers will find value in this comment. We remain completely satisfied with KOA. Thanks!
Im about to buy this. Single female, gonna install myself in roof. Never done anything like this. Gonna try to follow old Hughesnet mount/holes/cables so i dont have to drill... Anything else need to be done with cables, like grounding, etc? Im also not looking forward to getting up in the crawlspace with all the scorpions and spiders...
Once you get the cable in place it is a piece of cake. Good luck.
Mine did the same thing after exactly 4 years. I took it apart completely, and I found that the wires connecting between the cord and the circuit board were completely burned up. Very high resistance. I replaced these connections and she worked but I couldn’t find parts to do it right so I don’t know how long this repair is gonna last. But there’s obviously a problem in the design for this to be happening. The swivel connectors on these also go bad. Overall the design is not great.
Thanks for the tips. Four years seems to be a common failure point.
I assume it happened because you never used it.
Haha, good one. :)
I think the easiest way to empty this is to stick the tube from another vacuum cleaner into the hole in the bag and turn it on to suck out all that crap and dust in there.
Sounds easy.
Wow… we now accept INFERIOR quality because when compared to paying someone else to do it, it’s cheaper. 🧐 It’s sad that companies calculate how to increase PROFITS more than they consider how to create QUALITY products. What can we do? People with pools are considered well able to afford these expenditures on low quality products.
Anything can break, especially electronics so the question becomes "how long do you expect something to last?" I really don't know how long these units should last and that is why I came up with the comparison of paying someone to perform the work of the robot cleaner. I may still be able to repair my broken unit and hopefully I'll find time to look into that soon. Thanks for your comment.
Tighten up the screws on the door hinges, especially the top one. That will fix the door issue.
Thanks for the comment.
TOO MANY USELESS VIDEOS : WISH YOU WOULD LET THE EXPERTS TAKE TV SPACE SO WE CAN GET THE INFO WITHOUT THIS KIND OF SEARCHING ! THE BEST VIDEO: (ITHINK) IS " Knotweed Control for Homeowners: 4 steps for Success" by Green Shoots. They also sell the product and the applicators since this is SERIOUS BUSINESS !
how has the meter held up?
Haha, it hasn't. Last about 2 years and went dead. It does run when you crank up but the run history is lost. Thanks for your comment.
will it pull start on dead battery on propane?
Yes it will.
Thank you for sharing… this video has been very helpful 🙏🏼
I am very glad to hear that. Hope you can subscribe.
Marathon is a little larger then your typical sized station. Though AOR has changed for many stations in the U.S., some smaller stations are larger then before. Depends on the units co-located there. For example, Station Gulfport MS. VERY large station but they also have a couple of 87ft patrol cutters there. Having stayed at Sta Marathons cottages, 1984, you are right, it's a well kept secret. Was stationed on the Diligence when it was in Key West back in 81-83 so used to pass Marathon and Islamorada many times. For camp grounds/cost, the SEABEE base in Gulfport has LOTS of spots (none under shade) but not far from the beach. Last time I checked, like $20+ bucks a night.
We too have stayed at Gulfport several times. Thanks for your service and for this comment.
@@LandingZoneHome you should check out the lighthouse outside sturgeon Bay Wisconsin. It's on a state park which has campgrounds for campers however you can stay in the lighthouse which is maintained by the Coast guard station there. It's called Sherwood point lighthouse. I've stayed there a couple of times really cool place.
People spend lots of time trying to figure out how to use the the LP line on the RV, but this is just so much simpler. I like simple.
Me too! Thanks for the comment and for watching.
KOA's seem to be higher than Motels in many areas. SAD!
They do on average run higher than most campgrounds but I have no idea what Motels charge now days. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
I have a Dolphin Plus that I purchased on Amazon in 2016. It died a couple years ago and I took it partially apart to find that the swivel part of the power cord had failed. I bought a replacement part that is the piece that connects to the cleaner for around $60 and that got it going again. It failed again a couple days ago with the same issue but this time I would have to replace the entire cord because the swivel connector is a piece of garbage. Instead of replacing the cord I cut the swivel connector out, waterproofed the connection and it is running again. 😊
This is great info. I haven't yet taken my broken unit apart to find the cause. Thanks for your comment.
Airstream equals rving in a tin can. They suck.
To each his own, all things considered we still like our Airstream.
My Airstream is absolutely the best money Ive ever spent.
Most owners feel the same way. Thanks for the comment.
Wow, that really sucks that it's not covered under a warranty after it is fixed. 😞
I was lucky getting mine fixed the second time and still under warranty.
Is insurance higher on an airstream compared to a fiberglass RV? I am guessing only an insurance company could tell us do to comparing apples to oranges on cost of each. Do insurance companies see an airstream as more fragile?
I'm sure they see added expense in Airstream repairs. Thanks for your comment.
In other bad news, Maytronics has done away with the non-Wifi CC Plus version, lots of my older customers don't want to have the hassle of hooking up to wifi, then having to schedule the running cycles thru their phone. I hate this as I recommended this unit to many of my customers to replace the overly priced always breaking down Polaris. Nice video.
Sorry to hear that, I just purchased a non-wifi unit last month from Amazon so maybe I got one of the last. Here is the link and it shows unavailable: amzn.to/3z5SHRJ
Did you try using new power box on old unit or new unit on old box?
Yes, the old power supply works fine with the new unit. When I get time I will take it apart and test the cable. Stay posted for that video, so please subscribe. Thank you for your comment.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
That the only hose I use is the rhino flex and the rhino extreme sewer hose and love how they they shorten up for storage

he seemed really comfortable with the steps.
He has done real well using these steps. Thanks for your comment.
Im kinda in the same boat as you. But I figure I cant break whats already broke, and I might learn a little trying to fix this one. I hope you figure it out and have a good backup. Or fix the old one and return the new one inside 30 days. Thanks for the videos, shared experiences helps us all
Check the other comments on this video to find a video link on how to work on these, very interesting and looks simple. Thank you for the comment.
Good tips. I also periodically run some bleach solution through the freshwater hose to kill any mold that might be in there.
I do the same. Appreciate your comment and thank you for watching.
I loved your video. I just bought one off Amazon, but it’s a folding one with carpet because my dog has to have an ACL knee operation and she’s nine years old Labradoodle. I was watching this and I know you have part two you did a great job I think the lease should’ve been way shorter. You should’ve just grabbed her by the collar, in my opinion, I think that’s what I was gonna do a video and I’m just gonna start part two
Thank you so much for these comments.
You can check if cable is bad by checking continuity using a multi meter if its cable a replacment cable is 150-170 bucks or you might be able to repair if its a pin in the swivle. I found this video helpful, as far as replacing guide and drive wheels, but it has more detail than just that th-cam.com/video/nRB2NWki49I/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for the link, I watched that video and it answered my questions on how to get it open for inspection and repair. I'll check my cable too.

This is NOT BOONDOCKING you’re glamping/camping at a campground boondocking is camping in areas that are free/no utilities/areas where camping is not permitted almost exactly like stealth camping
OK, thanks for that and thanks for watching.
Great video. Enjoy your beautiful clean pool! 👍

You’re lucky it lived that long.
Another year or two would have been nice :) Thanks for your comment.
Glad I have the Forever Warranty! Will be getting my checked out in a couple of months.
Haven't hear of a forever warranty but I have seen that Airstream is working on units with FES that are out of warranty, but it is probably on a case basis. Thanks for your comment.
@@LandingZoneHome - it’s a warranty program that I got when I purchased my 2019 Globetrotter and REQUIRES an ANNUAL inspection.
Thank you very much for your input
You are very welcome.
Thank You very much Sir. My 3500 did this @ 200000
Glad it helped.
Thank you for your timely video. My 4wd service light went on today after a short trip last weekend, but I had a different problem instead of the actuator itself. We have ground squirrels always running around our house and my two dogs always seem to chase them under our vehicles. They were chasing one as we returned and I did not notice that it ran under the truck to get away. One of the dogs chased it up into the motor bay and apparently chewed the actuator harness to get to it. Thanks to the video I started with your advise and immediately found the problem and repaired it fairly quickly. This is the second vehicle we've had this happen to, the first had so much damage that I traded it off. I will use a .22 rifle again to make a more permanent repair
Excellent! Glad I could help and I like your more permanent repair :)
I see no value in having these modules at all. The 3 station module costs 1/3 or more the price of a new timer. And why do they keep going bad on timers anyway. some timers operate well for 20 years out there, but a 5 year old module goes bad?
Yep, I agree. They should last much longer and I guess that is why Rainbird sent me a free replace the second time around.
Hello. I write to you from Argentina. Could it be that this equipment needs different types of brushes depending on the type of material the pool has? In my case it is with small tiles and it is not climbing the walls. He reaches the wall and keeps pushing until he ends up heading somewhere else. On some occasions it raises them and on other occasions it doesn't.
I suspect the title surface does not provide enough traction for it to climb the wall. However, this model Dolphin does not advertise that it cleans the walls where other model do. I have a plastic liner pool and my Dolphin climbs up to the water line.
