In this video, I show how I repair the failed caulking in my 2023 Dynamax. The repair process is pretty simple if you take your time. With the flexing and movement while driving down the road, it is important for any sealant/caulking to have elastomeric properties aka stretch. I have used DAP Extreme Stretch on many projects with success. The product comes in different colors. The key is to hav...

Portable Solar Panel vs Factory Mounted RV Solar Panels

Most RV'ers typically research getting new solar panels for their RV. The cheapest and fastest solution is to get some portable solar panels. My 950 watts of factory solar always seemed to perform poorly from day 1.

    @rogerspalding5673 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thank you for this very informative yet dispassionate ⁹review of the Isata. I have always considered this model for my next purchase as it is built on the Ram chassis and mdiesel engine. From a strict appearance point of view, I thought this Super C was cool looking and eye-catching. The outside paintwork makes it very attractive. You can imagine my disappointment while watching your vlog. I understand manufacturers have difficulty finding good employees these days. The nature of our present administration discourages education which can be applied to the real world. College liberal arts education has become virtually worthless. So, I sympathize with all manufacturers which build things. I hate to think that this lack of attention to detail is attributable to a poorly educated workforce. Most, if not all, of the problem areas you point out could have been discovered by competent PDI. However, these areas must also be re-engineered. I was gobsmacked by the sloppy, slapdash assembly. Also, the cheap, chintzy materials was shocking. This top-of-the-line Isata is very expensive. Its MSRP is over $200K if I recollect correctly. Your thorough examination was extremely educational and useful. I do not envy your prospects for selling this rig. While your personal improvements and remediations will not save you from depreciation, perhaps they will defray some of the loss. I would never trade your model to a dealer and let it benefit from your investment. A private sale will allow you to take credit for your improvements and maximize resale. Thanks again for an excellent review.

    QUESTION: I have the same RV. I get water in my basement storage while driving during rain storms. I went through and caulked between the metal and plastic part of the storage bins. It has cut down drastically the amount of water coming in, but still get a some. (Dust/dirt as well from dirty roads) Next step was to look at the door seals. Do you have this issue, Any suggestions???

      Depends on the compartment. If it is the main compartment in front of the back wheel, you also need to seal the light fixture. You have to remove the light, and seal the hole where the wire comes out. I sealed it with butyl tape, and then caulked the screw holes, and also caulked the back side that faces the tire. For the seals, it should leave a good pattern on the door and when you shut the door and lock it, the door should be tight against the seal (you can check by tugging on the locked handle and see if there is play). You would have to adjust the latch at that point. I had to do that to one of my doors on the other side. And lastly, I've seen several I5's with the entire door being crooked. If you look at the door when facing it with it closed, I've seen several with the left side of the door really low. This causes the seal to not contact the door properly, and can let water in also. You would have to adjust the entire door, which is a little more tasking and need 2 people to do it. Hope that helps.

    Thank you for this video. It was very helpful for me. We are getting ready to make our first trip in our new RV.

    Hi . How does the RV perform in windy conditions? Wyoming gets a lot of wind and I want to get one and RV like what you have. But how does it do in 30 to 40 mph winds

    • @rvlifediy
      @rvlifediy 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I've had 3 RVs through Wyoming and this is the best one. It handles pretty good in wind but 30-40 mph will have you turning your wheel into the wind. You will feel it for sure, but won't have those scary white knuckle maneuvers. I'd give it a solid B plus in the wind handling.

    Wow. We are looking at purchasing the 2025 Dynamax Isata 5 with the extreme package and the explorer package. I was all ready to buy until I watched this video. For $300,000 I would expect a much better fit and finish and design. The wind is now out of my sales and I am rethinking this whole purchase.

      I wouldn't let my videos discourage you. Just do a thorough check and maybe get an RV inspector. I do agree the price is much higher than what you get in return. It has potential if they focus more on fit and finish, slideouts and electrical and plumbing.

    These RV,s cost to much for these kind of issues. We've talked about getting one, but on second thought, we'll pass. I've heard many talk about the cheap quality, and materials and the even worse customer service. NO THANKS! Thanks for posting.👍

      Yes it's a tough decision for sure. I love the lifestyle, but also know the realities of the repairs needed. That turns off many people.
