This Isn't Good! 😫RV Water Issues (Reed Bingham State Park GA)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2024
- In this episode of Wandering Wagners we get on the road and head South where we experienced water issues with our Anderson Kantleak Valve.
We overnighted at @Walmart in Tennessee and we did a little shopping while we were there. No need for a generator since we have our 410Ah @Redodopower LiFePo battery that carried us flawlessly all night long.
We got back on the road and landed at Reed Bingham State Park in Adel, Georgia. This was the first Georgia State Park and we really thought it was beautiful!
We scored a full hook up site somehow and luckily Mike was able to make a bypass out of materials like Pex and @SharkBitePlumbing and @MilwaukeeTool Pex cutters to get the water back on in a temporary mod in our @NeXusRV Nexus Wraith 34W Super C RV.
We went on a few walks and the bugs loved us haha we showcased a few of the amazing campsites here at Reed Bingham State Park Campground.
We went on a @Jeep ride with the dogs and had a great campfire where I made some pizza pies over the fire. We decided to leave on the day it was supposed to storm like crazy and hoped we could stay one step ahead of it.

They're called gnats and they are aggravating. Glad you enjoyed our local State Park.
We gave gnats up North too but these seemed different. They buzzed like mosquitoes and loved our faces😂
Adel GA is beautiful! Love this park!
We loved it here and the sites were just beautiful!
Good that you stay prepared!
Yes! We always say, if we have used the part or tool in the RV, it stays there! Haha
4:19 I just finished installing my brass KantLeak Valve. I have had problems with this valve since I bought my Nexus Wraith new in 2018.
Your video helped out immensly. Thanks
You're very welcome! In the videos following this we show other things we did to the system to get us by until we did get it replaced eventually
Thank you for the informative information on the rv sites and Mike you are a real mr fix it pro... Lynn you always rock the oven, grill and tanks tops... just sayn for a friend. LOL
Glad you liked the "site tours" from this state park! It take was very beautiful with awesome sites.
It's always great having "Mr. Fix it" handy haha thanks for the comment, Sid😁
There will always be things that break or fail to work as they should. Being able to adapt or fix them yourself is a blessing. Glad to see your trip will continue without service delays.🙂
Absolutely!! We are very lucky to have the tools, parts, and know how to"fix" things like this too get us through so they don't ruin a great trip when we don't plan to be home for awhile yet
Mike, you are a beast. You can literally fix anything. Crazy to me.
Thank you! Lynn is impressed by it too haha
Hi Michale, I just started listen to you two. I noticed your License Plate. KC8YHK, I just noticed you today, KB7TWX, Washington State. I keep learning to do more camping daily. I own my home and just like to go camping every two months. I can only go two months at a time, don't get a stroke. Hope it all works out okay. Thanks!
Welcome! Been a ham since 2003👍🏻
Luckily I carry all the tools and replacement parts so I could do a temp mod to keep us going until we get a new valve
It's nice here in Central Wisconsin, no rain, mid 70s during the day. Very low humidity, upper 40s at night. And no bugs yet.
Nice! There weren't many bugs in Ohio either when we left. Didn't expect so many already haha
“So simple to fix,” says the guy with every tool and spare part known to man, and all on board the RV! 🤣 impressive, Mike! Enjoyed the video. 😊
Haha Mike's rule is, if I've ever needed it for the RV it stays in the RV (tools and parts) so that helps😁 thanks for the comment guys!
Laura walker near the swamp is another southern georgia park that has nice sites.
Thanks for the info!
Love the two of you. You always give me hope.
Awe why thank you!♥️
Hey Mike sorry about your water issue but u can fix almost anything. A long time ago u did a post on transferring water from your truck bed to the camper. I loved the idea but I have a golf cart that takes up my 8 foot bed . I did a video of my situation a lot like yours but I changed a few things. Thanks for the idea we are the traveling Trents love your post
Thanks, luckily we carry tools and parts to fix things on the fly for the most part. Worked out this time!
Glad to hear you're using same idea we shared many years ago!😁👏🏻
Great trip. Love that campground, though can skip the bugs. Thanks for sharing with us!
No kidding haha Luckily the bugs subsided at night and it was quite enjoyable😊
Excursions give me a chance to see the real thing. Thank you for taking us with you
Thank you! Glad to have you follow along with us😊
I ended up having to order a new Anderson valve for our Ghost. My original one is plastic, the replacement is brass. Maybe the replacement will hold up better than the original. The worst part, the Anderson valve has a 6 week lead time. Glad you were able to bypass the anderson valve for the time being.
We ordered one but we will have to go through the trip with the bypass, luckily we carry Pex, fittings and tools for this reason!
The bugs that were swarming around your head and face are called gnats. They will drive you crazy. So glad you enjoyed Reed Bingham State Park. Most Georgia State parks are beautiful. Keep up the good work I do enjoy your videos.
We gave gnats up North but they don't buzz like mosquitoes haha these were buzzy but looked like gnats so we weren't sure if they were some super South breed of gnat😂 this park was definitely a great one! Glad we visited!
We stayed there several years ago and took a night gator watching tour. Heed the warning! Especially at night with the dogs close to the water. Thanks for staying in Ga, have safe travels.
We believe it! We didn't see any gators but found it weird that their swimming beach is the same water that says no swimming because of gators.
Beautiful campground! nice fix on the water issue Mike! enjoy your trip cant wait to see where you end up
Thank you, Debbie! We are excited to show everyone where we land next😎
The best thing I have found for the swarming bugs is menthol. I get the generic sore muscle spray with the most menthol I can find and spray my cap, shoes, back, etc. The bugs still swarm but they stay back and do not land. Works to keep ticks off also and I spray my socks or ankles good if walking through grass that may have other bugs. I used it on the mattress in the cabin we use to have, seems to work well for most bugs. I still use a mosquito net if they are bad. Nice park. Stay safe and healthy.
Interesting! Don't think we've tried that yet. Appreciate the tip😁
Hey..Hello..How are you doing Wondering Wagner's❓👋🏽. Your channel was recommended by The Real Weekend Warriors(Vic and Kerin Small). I lost the 📜 with your name on it (during home renovation) so it's taken me a decade to get here 😂😂 Just kidding, I found their video that mentioned you guys again so I 🤔 I'd pop by.. soo.. 🌊 issues🙄... good thing Hubby is good with plumbing 🤜🏾🤛🏾👏🏾. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos, nice to meet you 🤝🏾
Glad to see you made it to our channel, Janice!😁👏🏻 Weekend warriors are great people👍🏻
Hopefully you enjoyed our video and stay to follow along our adventures!
@@WanderingWagners You betcha ‼️ Looks like a fun channel. Have a safe and joyous week 🙏
@@janicea572 thank you!😊👏🏻
That park looked amazing. Another one to add to the list of parks we need to visit.
It's definitely a very pretty park!
😊 camping trip is my favorite
Thank you! Appreciate the comment, Alexander!
Spray off on the bill of your cap. Used that playing competitive golf. Where is the beer for delighting in a fabulous pizza sandwich.
Thanks for the tip!
No worries there was definitely beer accompanying the pizza pies😁🍺
You both are AWESOME! My Wife and I can't travel in our RV as much as you do but I watch your channel when I miss "traveling in our RV". Mike seems a lot like myself...."Shells & Cheese" will do just fine as a meal while on-the-go. I also have a parts department in our RV like the many different PEX-fittings and hose & tools, not to mention other repair scenarios we might encounter. I would say - if something "broke-down", I would be able to repair it while on our travels about 90% of the time.
I wish I could have met you both at the HOOTERS in Clearwater last week (I wanted to, since I live so close). I'm sure we'll meet-up sometime in the future (in-our-travels). SAFE TRAVELING TO YOU GUYS, and KEEP HAVING FUN! Thanks for Sharing! -Todd
It's always good to be prepared as much as you can because you know things will break, it's just a matter of when haha
Would have been great to meet you at Hooters but maybe another time😁 thanks for watching!👏🏻👏🏻
One day yall should come here to Texas and come to the fort Parker state park. Yall will like the trails and there is also a old old cemetery tthat. That's were I have my comanche Indian family reunion at. The camp ground area is great. They have paddle boats, fishing ect. And the trail to the dam isn't that long but there is one trail that goes around the lake I believe
We almost went back to Texas instead of Georgia/Florida this trip but weather looked better here😂 we do miss Texas and appreciate the state park suggestion! We will keep that in mind next time we are out that way😁
@WanderingWagners it's in the 90's here in East Texas. Hope yall have fun 👍
I plumbed my cabin with pex. It is easy to work with although I have the ring crimper rather than the tooth crimper. Looks like your trip will be a good one.
Pex is super easy to work with! Great choice for your cabin. Overall it was a successful trip😁
Yeah Georgia is hot!! Curious if you all think the Nautilus system is any better?
Yes it is! The humidity is up there already😂
We haven't had an RV with the nautilus system so we can't really speak for it but it can't be worse than this haha
Interesting video as usual. We stayed overnight at that state park years ago on our way to Florida. Unfortunately we came in after dark and had a difficult time finding the campground part of the park and went to the beach instead. . Once the campground was located we had an enjoyable night’s rest. I hate late arrivals.
Thank you! It's definitely a beautiful state park but it's DARK when it's night so we understand how you could miss the campground completely. They didn't offer us a map when we came in so we get it!
I was kinda surprised the amount of room you had to work on the water problem. My class A is a Lot tighter than that And of course the Rain will follow you. Great Videos.
It's nice having the water tank under the master bed and it's on a slide so there's a decent amount of room to work on things luckily.
I'm sure the rain will follow us!
That plumbing looks just like my $20k TT. RV plumbing is RV plumbing. All the same...😊
Pretty much! Haha we've had them all and they're pretty much all alike
We had the Anderson valve on our Isata, which also failed. The valve design and innards are a pain to deal with. Anderson advised to turn off water to the valve when changing positions, but I'm not sure it helps much.
We never have the water on and lines are never pressurized when we change positions, so we can say that doesn't help😂😂 just a poor design in general unfortunately in our opinion
Thank you i've been waiting
Welcome!
That Mike is a lucky guy
Haha thanks😎
We’ve been RVing in motorhomes for 16 years. We came from a boat. In the boat you always use the tank and I carried it over and have always done it in our RV. Even in a campground we run off the tank. I just top it off each night before bed. Tank is always fresh, never smells because it used constantly.
We always have water in our fresh tank. Very occasionally we will run off City water but always have water in the tank regardless because we use it too. 😁
I think you could show more when you are dry camping. How go a round a pick things up when you leave the spot.
You want water in your fresh tank in case the water gets shut off.
We always carry fresh in our tank😊 the only time it has been empty is when it was new and when we sanitize it lol we don't really have things out as we are minimal campers so there's not much to show for picking up haha
Enjoyed the video, as usual. Kim continues to look good from top to bottom! I do have one request if you don't mind...could you please mention the cost of the campgrounds that you visit. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Thank you! We try to talk about costs but sometimes forget. This park was $40/night for the pull thru full hookup.
Our family spotted you guys at the Nashville KOA Resort! You were walking the dogs and we were walking ours, but our hands were a little full lol. I would have loved to stop and chat for a few minutes, but you looked exhausted and I figured you were just passing through.
My wife thinks my reaction to seeing you guys was hilarious as I said Holy S*** out loud since I never see anyone “famous”.
I love your channel and the content, keep it up!!
Glad you left a comment! Sorry piper was wound up from the travel day😂😬
We would have liked to have chatted with you guys! We decided to only stay a night vs 2 but had a nice relaxing stay😊
@@WanderingWagners we hope to run into you guys again in the future!! Keep up the great content ☺️
@@benswartzfager510 definitely keep an eye out for another "oh sh*t" moment😂
@@WanderingWagners 😂😂😂
Love your videos. Was wondering if you use a app for campground locating? You might of said it before but I haven't ran across it. Been watching all your videos gonna take awhile though lol.
We don't use one specific app. Google, RV parky, and each state's state park website, KOA app mostly.
After watching you guys for years Im pretty sure the rain wil catch up to you. Sorry.
It's almost a guarantee haha
Yeah the rain will always catch up with you, Just like I say a project can not be successful if I don't bleed while working on it, your camping is not successful if it does not rain on you :)
Yeah, sometimes we can get lucky... But that luck always seems to run out haha
Slower pace 🤭 250 is normal. We just went to Nexus, Ghost 33DS might be coming our way. Factory tour was wonderful….
Haha we aren't your average travelers😜 awesome! We liked their factory tour as well
@@WanderingWagners we dropped your names all over the place. I’m thinking we could do longer day’s, comfort level plus I could actually reach the pedals and see out the window.
I never hook up to city water. Full the tank and use the pump. Not sure why but that is how we've always done it.
We do that all the time in Winter (obviously) but given the option we sometimes use the city water but guess we will be used to using the pump for awhile haha
Welcome to Georgia ,,, my hometown at that .. yep 82 with humidity feels like a sauna .. those bugs are known as gnats .. that water is full of gators .. do not allow your dog to swim there ,, and all the locals call that place. Weed Bingham ,, try fishing there you’ll know why it has that name ..
We gave gnats up North but these were buzzing like mosquitoes and loved your faces only😂 so weird lol we'd never let our dogs swim in any water down South. Creepy dark southern waters are not our thing haha then I see people swimming in it across the way. No thanks!
Ah see you noticed that pristine beach .. there’s a fence in the water but nothing to stop Wally gator from walking up on shore and going around the fence during the night .. I’d personally never swim there
@kenbarrett6466 I mean... Gators can swim and climb so I'm not trusting that fence in water😂
For RV campers reed bingham is ok ,, I’m personally a cool weather hammock camper living 6 minutes from reed Bingham I have no desire to camp there .. actually that weekend I was hammock camping at General Coffee state park in Douglas Ga .. now that’s a beautiful park .. lots more trees in the campgrounds .. we had 3 hammocks on one campsite with room for 3 more .. I personally hand selected that site ,, plenty of spaces for RV campers there too
@kenbarrett6466 we were on our way to Florida and wanted to check out a Georgia State Park on the way and this one had a site open so we snagged it. The park itself was very pretty but we live very close to a very popular Ohio state park so we understand not wanting to go to a nearby park haha
Welcome to the South! Bugs & humidity included in price of campsite.
😂😂 we are ok with humidity... Bugs we'd like a refund LOL
Papa used to say the “skeeters” we’re big enough to stand flat footed & have relations with a turkey. 😀
@@susancrane9207 😂😂 we have had mosquitoes up North too but they're just not out in force. Luckily we didn't get bit because whatever bugs these were, weren't mosquitoes/biting but they buzzed like mosquitoes
The little bugs are called dog pecker, gnats
We have gnats here too but they don't buzz😂
Do you have to give Guy something on travel days? It must be the Redbone Coonhound in him.
Yes we do. We didn't used to but within the past few years he's gotten travel anxiety so vet has him on a few different things that really help him relax
Keep dogs close! Gators 🐊
They are always close👍🏻😁
Mike:"I'm and adult and treat me as such." That wasn't the message I got a couple of videos ago when I asked if you were ever going to grow up. Not that there's anything wrong with not growing up, heck I've been fighting growing up for 68+ years, but you can't have it both ways. Just sayin'. As for the Kantleak that cartridge is no longer available anywhere that I could find. The replacement valve is solid brass and last I knew cost about $250, probably more now but that's probably your best solution. Running completely off of the tank is not an all bad idea. If you turn the pump off every time you leave the RV your rig won't flood if you get a plumbing issue. If you're on city water and develop a leak you will likely come home to water running out of your coach. Just something to think about. As far as the rain goes, remember you are the Wagners. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
Haha adults can like shells n cheese and chocolate milk for dinner and doing dumb things with bikes and sledding😂😂
We ended up ordering a new valve but won't be able to actually get it and replace it for awhile since we are on the road so this mod will suffice in the mean time
I hated that water valve on my Nexus
This is the first RV we've had with that Anderson valve. Definitely not something we have ever cared for haha
Is your "kantleak" The plastic kind? Andersen stopped making them because of so many problems but they conveniently now make a brass one for $160 or so. Had to replace mine 2 yrs ago.
Yes it is the plastic kind. We have ordered the new version but it'll be a few weeks before we can get it installed
Take it to Chuck’s shop for warranty work. See ya in 2024.
😂 that's A HARD pass
I too like Shells & Cheese!
Can't blame you there!😋
Lol, It’s like you cannot get COVID when eating, alligators cannot get you in the swimming buoys…
Same logic🤣
That rv repair needs a sweet repayment. Cookies or pie.
He's always paid up in full😜
you found the state bird - buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
😂😂 what are they?! They aren't mosquitoes but they buzz lol
PS - that pile of Bacon almost broke my heart! Still sizzling!
@@billhill8570 it was amazing! We don't eat it all in one sitting but YUM!
@@WanderingWagners Gnats, I live about 50 miles from there and they are bad from spring until fall.
@@millerm155 we gave gnats too but they don't buzz in your ears and make sounds like mosquitoes haha
It Kantleak, it's in the name, 🤔🤣
Right?!😂 they might want to rethink their name lol
Skin so soft use it to keep bugs off
We will have to try that
Y’all are rain magnets.
Yes we are! We are trying to our run it🌧
Your rig sounded like it might have gas lmao 💨
😂 no kidding! Just listening to that clip I thought it was a fart video😂
Reed Bingham is awesome!
We really enjoyed it! Beautiful park with awesome sites
Just saw your video. I live about 10 minutes from Reed Bingham Park. Hate yall had to suffer the darn gnats. They are terrorists without guns. Buzzing in your face at the first warm day after winter and they don't leave until it turns cold. The hot weather is the second bad part of summer so the combination of the two makes it unbearable. Come in the winter and it will be a far better stay. The have a great nature trail too.
We really wanted to do some trails but our dogs aren't acclimated to three humidity yet so we just kept it to night walks this time. The gnats and mosquitos are pretty bad there but the sites are so big and pretty!
Is sunny in Ohio and you go to where there rain.
It's what happens when we leave Ohio😂
Is it next week yet? 👙
Haha almost
Is she leaving tree mail?
No tree mail here
YOU NEED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND MAKE THEM FIX IT
We don't like to do that because we use our rig a lot. Plus we are a several hundred miles away from the dealer and manufacturer
Nooo stay away from dealer service at all cost!
@@AlliChuckAdventures THEY DO THE BEST WORK GOBBLESS UNLESS YOU ARE CERTIFIED DONT BE TURNING WRENCHES
She look’s better in a tank and shorts than a parka, just saying!
😂😂 ain't that the truth
Sorry guys but you are below the gnat line. If you put a dryer sheet in your hat it will keep them away. Seriously!
Thanks for the tip! We have annoying gnats in Ohio too but usually bug spray helps. It helped for like 5 minutes here! But never heard of buzzing gnats lol
Oh stop whining!
About what?
