Strange Tire Wear
This tire is a Goodyear 215/75-R17.5 trailer tire with 23,000 miles on a 5th wheel camper. The tire never carries more weight than it's rated for and has never been run low on air pressure. The outside shoulder has a wear pattern that starts at the groove and is only worn from 1/4" to 3/4" from the groove. The rest of the shoulder has normal wear like the rest of the tire.

Fish Boil at Pelletier's Restaurant in Door County Wisconsin

It's called a "fish boil" because they flash boil the water at the end of the cooking time which causes the water boil over and removes the fish oils floating on top.
Splendide clothes dryer bad motor bearings
มุมมอง 5748 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is a Splendide clothes dryer in our RV. This is how the bearings sound after about 20 hours of use. We have already replace the original motor, this is the second motor, and we have a third motor ready to install. It's very frustrating that Splendide says there is nothing wrong with their motors and won't stand behind their product. See the discussion on our forum here: rvthe.us/community/...

The video is from near the Zion National Park Springdale gate through the Mount Carmel Tunnel proceeding east for about 3 miles. We turned around at Checkerboard Mesa and drove through the tunnel and back to the Springdale gate. The scenery on this drive is breathtaking. If you ever get to Zion NP, you must do the tunnel drive.

ProPride Hitch Fix for Water Intrusion Rusting Bearings
Good stable camera, great lighting, perfect amount of audio and the length and overall quality of the video was perfect. Thanks for making a concise video.
Ours is 3 years old and sound just like this! It's obnoxious and our cat hates it.
When I called Splendide, they said they have no problems with bearings in any of their dryers. It's very frustrating to be on the third motor now and Splendide says, "You're out of warranty".
We just bought our used van Lee and the dryer sounds just like this. In our last rig, we had the same dryer and it was quiet and never gave us any trouble.
Great travelapse video. I recently bought a Garmin 47 and I have a scenic 7-day road trip coming up. This video is inspiring me.
Very nicely done, Brudda. This helps a lot and so do the comments. Most people don't mean anything by stating correct ways or a better way. We all learn when we discuss it all. Thank you for sharing this
Hi, how's it going? May I feature this clip on my channel? If so, could you tell me where this happened? Thanks for your consideration
I have a Propride hitch, how did you remove the caps
They are standard dust cover (hub caps). Carefully take a chisel between the hub and the cap. Loosen it up all the way around, gently as you go. It will come right off.
Use a small chisel and gently tap tap tap in an upward direction. Don't hit them hard, as you'll bend the cap.
Use a rubber mallet to install dust covers. No dents or damage
Great information, thanks!
If this happened after 18 months of ownership of the hitch wouldn’t this fall under warranty from propride so you wouldn’t have to pay for the bearing kit?
Propride did offer to fix the hitch if I brought it to them or shipped it to them, but it was less expensive for me to buy the bearing kit and do the work myself.
Sean at Propride did offer to replace the bearings and repaint the hitch, if I brought it in or shipped it to their factory in Michigan. I didn't want to do that, so I fixed it myself. Understandably, Propride won't give the bearing kits out for free.
Is there a non-Facebook video somewhere regarding bearing replacement? Or is it just like wheel bearings? I've done those, and these don't spin like wheels.
These are standard wheel bearings.
They are simple wheel bearings, no different than they have been for 75 years.
what a smart solution!!!!
As expensive as this hitch is, I would have thought it would have zero fittings and pump the cavity full of water preventative grease. I use my this on seaplanes to keep bearings from salt water intrusion. Bearings last for 6-10 years.
What is this nev R lube hub you speak of???
The Dexter Nev-R-Lube hubs have cartridge type bearings that aren't serviceable. You never have to repack cartridge wheel bearings, hence the name Nev-R-Lube.
@@waynewillson Thanks Wayne..I see they have been around a while. I have a 2015 ATC 22ft all aluminum enclosed car trailer with twin 5200# Dexter axles. I was thinking about retrofiting with this technology but it looks to be very expensive $800.00 + per wheel...
DITTO for me to ....Nice, and I happen to have a bottle of liquid tape sitting on my workbench. :o) I have a new hitch and I'm happy to fix this before it becomes a real problem. Thanks
You don’t need to remove the snap ring, however the snap ring pliers you have are reversible by unscrewing the center thumb screw and moving to the other hole to make it squeeze instead of expanding.

...what size socket did you use for the castle nut?
1 5/16" socket
@@rvtheus Mine was 1 7/16" on a Dexter 3800lb axle
I am in in the process of putting new seals and bearings in dexter easy lube hubs, I assume the brakes are self adjusting ( rotors not accessible threw port) and have never had brake problem. The hubs are real difficult to remove and some of the wheels do not spin well when jacked up. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or comments.
I was looking for how to inspect the brake -- video just says he inspected it and the magnet was good and everything moved the way it is supposed to. That doesn't help me know what to look for when inspecting the brakes.
Oh no, sadness. Moving on to read your story.
He didn't need to remove the large snap ring. The large snap ring holds the bearing in the hub. It does not hold the hub to the spindle. The small snap ring is the only one needed to be removed in order to remove the hub.
You are absolutely correct. I wish I had known that when I did this job, but directions were very hard to find.
Would be nice to have some grease zerts on those bearings.
There are geese seems on those bearings. You’re supposed to pump them full when the hitch is installed and at least yearly after that.
They are standard wheel bearings, so no need for regular greasing
Good tip.. will do mine asap..
The Solo Stove works great! Enjoyed a pleasant afternoon with one at my brother’s house. Liked it so much, I bought one as a gift for my son.
Would the PP hitch cover keep the moisture out?
Not while you are towing. I'm sure mine got wet while driving in the rain. We stored our Airstream inside when not in use and covered the hitch while camping.
Yes while sitting as we did, but you can't cover it while you drive. We got water in our bearings while driving in the rain.
@@evertmorse8518 I've never owned a Hensley Arrow, but maybe someone who does can answer this question.
@@evertmorse8518 I agree the problem shouldn't happen and should have been addressed at the factory. The hitch performs so wonderfully that I would buy another one and fix the problem before mounting it on the trailer.
Yes, while your trailer is not being towed. If you are towing in rain, the cover can't be used.
Why why have I never seen one of these before great invention !
I'm failing to understand why you need to remove the large snap ring for what has been shown here. That seems like it is to retain the cartridge bearing in the hub assembly, and has nothing to do with removal of the assembly from the spindle like the small snap ring, washer and nut do.
I just bought the entire assembly as shown instead of buying the cartage bearing. Im guessing he is just replacing the bearing which you do need to remove the snap ring then press out the bearing than a new one in. As my new assembly with new bearing, hub and studs and everything has the snap ring pre installed.
@@SpectroRacingChannel do you have the Dexter part number for the complete drum/bearing assembly? I carry a spare bearing, but in order to replace it you must find a tire shop with the ability to remove and press the bearing. Please don’t ask how I know!
@@camrodger5381 e trailer .com helped me out. I didnt bother pressing out and in new bearings it's to much of a pain and my lugs and hub are very rusted. E trailer does carry the bearing cartridge tho
Thanks for info. I'll have to seal my caps.
If your Propride has ever been wet, you should pull the top caps to see if there is rust in the bearings.
@@rvtheus Thanks I haven't sealed them yet and it has been wet many times.
@@michaelmaynard7873 I would highly suggest to take the dust caps off and look for rust
It’s comes in med or XL for different size filters
Incorrect way to use the snap on ring pliers.
They were the wrong size pliers, as they should have been considerably larger, but it was what I had at the time. I learned later that I didn't have to remove the large snap-ring. That would have saved about 15 minutes of time on each side, as they were very difficult to remove and install with the incorrect pliers.
@@rvtheus those were the correct pliers, you were just using them incorrectly. You remove the screw and reinstall in the other hole in the pliers. This reverses whether you squeeze to compress or expand the snap ring.
@@WillSmith_1980 thank you! I will try that next time
Thanks for the great lesson
How did I not know this existed? Amazon here I come.
thanks for posting this tutorial video on Dexter Nev-R-Lube hub and brake inspections.
Rick, you're welcome!
You can remove the hub without removing the snap ring,the snap ring retains bearing in the hub
K mann thank you! Saved me tons of frustration.
