Hey Thomas. Very odd. The response you got from Suburban does not match the response I got from Keystone. I totally understand coming up with a temporary "fix" to eliminate the risk of injury, but Keystone had implied that this was the permanent repair!! Lets see if Suburban actually comes up with a fix that returns the stoves to their original condition. We will see. I will definitely keep on them. Thanks for sharing your info.

@@retirementwithpete9859 for sure. I vehemently told Suburban the current fix was understandable, however not acceptable as a permanent. I also cannot understand the blasé stance on the whole thing by keystone. I will share any updates here. I am definitely going to stay on this one as well. Thanks a bunch for posting this

Great tip. Theres always a couple ways to achieve the same end result. Thanks for sharing!!

That makes my day!! Its crazy how easy the tub moves on that plastic sheet! Enjoy your tub!

Hi Thomas. Im am utterly dumbfounded by the response from both Suburban and Keystone on this issue. And the feds only concern is that the risk of harm has been removed. I would love to see a class action suit be brought up against both of them.

Its all about keeping the grandkids happy!!

Thank again. Ive had the tires on this power wheel for over a year now. And that boy drives like a crazy man. Im still waiting for one of the motors to burn up. I dont understand whats holding them together😄

Your welcome. Thanks for watching!!

Hey Michael. Keystone and Suburban have both stated that this is the direction they are going. Unbelievable!!!

WOW!!! What a story. Very exciting. Im hoping you will document your journey!! I would love to watch it. You just confirmed what we learned during our order process. We actually have 2 other owners in the park that ordered the Meadowview from RRC. And they look amazing!! Very excited to see the finished home. Good luck!

Just curious. Why would you not have the dealership fix it for free? I know its a pain in the butt to take a car in for service, but for a safety related issue, its better have the dealership handle it!!

@@retirementwithpete9859 I wasn't sure how long will I have to wait again. Last time I went to my dealer is for a headlight(they put a sticker lol) and tailpipe emissions recall and it took them 3 days. Fixing it myself only cost me $40 and 1 hour of my life.

Oh wow!!! I know what you mean. Had a recall on my pickip. It took two weeks to get it in. They had it for 8 hrs. No call to say it was done. So I went in to pick it up. They said that they didnt have the part, and to schedule another appointment. What the heck??? And they didnt seem to care. Good luck on your repair👍

The 23 year old manual recommends using John Deere low viscosity Hy-GARD J20D for the transmission/transaxle fluid. That transmission/ hydrolic oil has been replaced by the John Deere low viscosity Hy-Gard oil TY22000. But you can call your local John Deere dealership to confirm!! Thanks for the question!!

Good lord. What a dumpster 🔥 of an industry. And why do we keep giving them thousands of dollars for these rvs??? Very frustrating!

Thank you!!!

I agree, a quality, sealed (potted) pcb would solve all this. Im just astonished that this is the path they have decided to go down. Outdoors RV's are high end units. Have you tried calling them??

Count me in on the class action lawsuit.

Sorry, not sure about the blood meal reference.

Hi Doc. Its been a terrible year!! They are absolutely everywhere on my property. I actually got one two nights ago with my 12ga. Confirmed!!😉 The smoker actually works pretty darn good. Its helps to pump the bellow as your lighting it. Gets it smoke going really good. Good luck and let me know what you think.

👍

Thanks!! Glad the video gave you the confidence to tackle it. Let me know if you have any questions!!

Not with the 26" x 2.125" tires I used. 26" is the over all diameter of the tire. The peg perego gator tire measures about 15" diameter. And I dont know of a 30" bike tire out on the market. So I think your stuck buying 2 tires of any size. I will say thay after almost two years of using the bike tires, the gator still runs amazing. I did upgrade the battery from the stock 12v to the dewalt 20v. Absolutely a game changer.

Yes, it would be safe to say we worked hard to get to this point. After 38 years, my wife Sara still works as a RN. She still enjoys it. And I retired, after 40 years of commercial construction. All 40 years with the same contractor! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!

@@retirementwithpete9859 Well deserved. Thx for bringing us along for some of it!

I agree with you 100%. Times have definitely changed. Its a veru sad staement of our society. Im realy glad I went with the green. The bike is an absolute beast!! Unbelievable torque. Almost too much! Still trying to find the sweet spot on the settings. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

😆, still counts as a view!!

@@retirementwithpete9859 Yes. Yes it does.

I hope not. I wonder if the new tarriff has anything to do with it. Will yours be the new version? With the dual batteries?

@@retirementwithpete9859 Yes from what i have planned for. Really loooking forwards to having it.

Haha, you nailed that one!! Im still trying to figure out why they used a tv box to ship the bike in. And of course my bike is already obsolete, with the release of the new Wired Freedom.

@@retirementwithpete9859 That is odd on the TV Box. I've been looking at the Freesky Warrior with dual motors. Any experience with that?

I have not heard of them, but there are so many ebikes out there now, that doesn't surprise me. I can only imagine how quick that bike is. Ill check them out.

Impressive bike. I like the 18 month warranty. The 4 piston brakes. And the range. Are you looking at the M530?

@@retirementwithpete9859 yes!

Thats a good question. I would think the wind noise would be pretty loud, while riding. The transmitter does have a noise reducing "wind checker" that snaps over the mic, but im not sure how that would work on a bike ride. I can definitely do a short on how the dji 2 connects to the media mod, via the supplied 3.5mm wire, but I'd hate to have you buy the dji, then find out that it doesn't work well while riding. I can try it out while riding my ebike. I can reach about 35mph on it. Not as fast as a motorcycle, but it should give us a good idea how well it works.

@retirementwithpete9859 Yes, that would be great with your E bike 👍 Thank you

It is rechargeable. It is not bluetooth. You have to attached the dji 3.5mm wire from the dji receiver to the media mod audio port. I did not show that in the video. My apologies!!

Gosh, I do not know the size. I got lucky on the oil change, and did not replace mine. But its always a good idea. I do know the bolt head is a 10mm. I would get a 1/4", 5/16" and a 3/8". Its got to be one of those. Let me know what you find out!! Thanks for watching.

Thanks John. That might be the only way we can get Keystone to do the right thing. Im sure they have seen my video, and are hoping im just a small youtuber, and this will all just go away. I so wish that this video would go viral, and they would have to answer for their terrible response. Please let me know what you find out through your attempts. Good luck.

@@retirementwithpete9859 Well, I just killed about an hour or so but I did get to speak to 1 level up from the customer service level. No real news except that he said "this doesn't land on deaf ears" to try and make me think that something may be done in the future...... yea right! I'm trying to contact suburban now and will see what response they have..... very frustrating!

Im impressed that you made it past their first line of defense. They have absolutely no desire to try to make this right. They are using the excuse that they have to follow Suburbans lead. hich is baloney. Im just totally shocked at how they are handling this. I didnt even try calling Suburban. But now I think I will.

We are very sorry for your loss!!! My wife Sara was very happy with the urn she got. It really was a very special memory she will keep for the rest of her life!!

Thanks for the kind words. Its been about 2-1/2 years, and the repair is doing fine. I tried finding replacement trusses online, but had no luck. So Im glad I repaired it. And the video has been very helpful to alot of people. Sure beats throwing away a good canopy. Let me know if you have any questions during your repair. Good luck!!

I thought about using friction tape, but I wanted something a little more durable. My grandkids are pretty brutal on that thing. We have an old Dune Racer power wheel that the motors were toast. Just ordered new motors and metal gears for it. Ill do a video of the rebuild, and see how it turns out!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!

I went to Amazon, and searched for canopy truss replacement parts. A wide variety of parts came up. I was not able to find my exact length, so I just spliced mine. You may have to do the same to yours. Good luck on the repair. Its really not that difficult!!

Good morning Steve. I agree 100% I called Keystone customer service this week to complain about how they are handling this issue. I was shocked at their response. They said that this is a Suburban decision, and they are standing behind Suburban. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told that I can not!!! Can you believe that??? They gave me a Suburban number to call. And basically told me to go pound sand. What is it with the RV manufacturers?? Are they trying to give Grand Design some competition for the worse customer service in the industry?? Very frustrating!!! Yes, I understand this is a very minor inconvenience, but its the principle behind it. They just need to do the right thing, and unfortunately, these corporations have a hard time doing that!!

Hi Veronica. I understand that the "fix" eliminates the risk of a fire, but there are better ways to accomplish that, without deleting all the light functions. Especially the oven light!! How an office full of decision makers decided this would be an acceptable repair, is beyond me! I did call Keystone. But the response was very disappointing. Keystone is standing behind Suburban on the repair. I couldnt even get past the customer service person, to talk to a supervisor!! Not the type of service I expected from Keystone.

Good morning. There is nothing written in the special adjustment warranty that says that you need to be the original owner, so it would say that your repair should be covered!! What year is your Equinox or Terrain? On some of the older models, the warranty is only extended to vehicles with less than 150,000 miles. Definitely call your local GM dealer and tell them about your wipers and give them the "special adjustment" number. Let me know how it turns out. Good luck.

How could they have thought for one moment, that would be an acceptable "fix" to a safety recall?? I told my wife, Sara, that she was losing her oven light, and she was not happy😬

Sad, but true. So much of our manufacturing has gone to foreign countries like China, Mexico and much of southeast Asia. Practically everything sold on Amazon comes from China. The drainzit is just a more expensive version of a garden hose. Alittle spendy at $27.00 But definitely makes a difficult job way easier.

I am amazed how many people are having this problem. Your GM dealer should repair it for free. You may have to show them the GM bulletin, but they will take care of it. Thanks so much for commenting!!

Thanks so much. Its a pretty simple fix!! Thanks for watching.

Im glad Im not the only one that had this problem. I though I must be missing something. Thanks for confiming it. Ive used it a bunch of times now, with no issues. Thanks for the comment!

@@retirementwithpete9859 did you have to do anything special to get it to work with three gopro? Still playing with it but no luck so far?

Have you found any info saying the the go pro3 will support a dji mic2?? I wasnt able to find anything on google or youtube.

Haha, tell the kid to start looking for a new car. This really only keeps the honest people honest. If a jerk really wants to steal a '98 camry, with 260,000 miles on, then I wish him good luck!! I wish this was a world where we wouldnt have to worry about this, but thats just not the way it is. Especially in Portland!!! Thanks so much for watching, and I appreciate the comment!!
