I'm in the process of decluttering my home, so I don't need surprise 'junk' . No Be Spoke! :)
Me too.
I began with getting rid of the wife.
@@ianrsigel What you didn't know was she was waiting for a sign so she could get the heck out!
Me too lol. New Year around the corner. Go into a new year organized and clutter free!!!
You 2 silly new weds sound like a match made in heaven to me.. lol
@@ianrsigel when she left if she took your fishing boat send her my way because mine is broken..🤔🤔😂🤗
$45 a month for junk you don't need? Sorry Eric, worst promo you have done imho.
Don't knock it. People do that stuff, & Eric just had to talk about it. We didn't have to listen that long. I'm with you on not joining that myself, tho.
Who doesn't need a mini whiskey barrel?
Or....You could go to goodwill and get that stuff for $3
Lol!!!
As far as NEED?.......there are no products for sale anywhere on the planet anyone NEEDS.....only WANT! Someone will want it!
and I can argue this point all day long! So please dont tell me some products are needed to live
Endlessly the answer will be thats a WANT
you dont need to LIVE.
if you "want" to live....its a WANT but not a need...and the desire is only yours....doesnt affect anyone else on the planet. A vague memory is all to anyone you will ever be...and that memory is only for a half of a century for most friends...and family..then its like you never existed.
Kinda like all the crap everyone in the world ever buys...
Will all turn to dust and rust ....so its all a want!
Nothing is needed!
Please tell me which Animal needs anything we produce....none!
Do you see dogs wearing watches carrying cellphones watching t.vs? About to drive their car?
We humans are a joke!
My generator kept doing that and I found out there was another fuel filter that nobody had ever changed, I changed that and have never had a problem again. It was a inline filter..
Thanks! Good info!
To test, hang a gas can fuel source above the carb, disconnect the existing fuel at carb, and run for two hours.
Where Is the filter? I'm having the same problem , no load or load. Runs about a hour. Also it blows out mouse nest stuff! Any way to get that mess put of it with out taking the generator out?
Fallow the fuel line it should be on the frame rail
I agree. It's fuel related. Used to put s cigar in a tank and same thing would happen when all the leaves would find their way to the fuel intake. Soon as it sat a while it would start and run until it happened again. It was to drive someone crazy.
On the TV...make televator for the TV so it would be secured to a cabinet and out of the way while not in use. 🤠👍
Agree! Best of both worlds. Window when you want it, secure and supported TV when you need that.
RV with Tito has a good video on televator install
@@ocho441 Yeah, I watched that when he did it....he does amazing work on all his projects!🤠👍
Run the fuel line from the generator back to where it connects to the main fuel line...check the rubber hose to make sure it's not collapsing while the generator is running and thus starving the generator of fuel. 🤠👍
Great ideas!
Wouldn't it have it's own fuel pickup vs tying into the main fuel line? I know each manufacturer kinda does their own thing, but on my rig they use a separate fuel pickup at about the 1/4 tank level such that the generator can never run the tank dry and you have fuel left for the rig's engine if you leave the generator on too long.
@@Mark_Lawler Yep, either way, running the fuel line from the generator will tell you if the line needs fixing/replacing or if there's another inline filter that needs to be replaced or if there might be issues with the fuel pickup in the tank. 🤠👍
Perhaps the dumbest subscription service I've ever heard of. Continued success with your projects.
For people that will just buy anything.
I was turned off by the empty bottle. Here, you throw this away. The box should have included whiskey.
It may be a cool gift to somebody... The gift that keeps on giving, literally.
That Tracking device is Illegal as it gets...Unless you agreed to it by contract when you bought the RV. That may be questionable anyway.
The dealership is selling the buyer a $100,000 vehicle that 99% of the time is going to leave the state. Damn right they are going to put a tracker in and without a doubt it's in the contract.
@The Off Gridders LIFE I witnessed where these devices will prevent a car from starting if the payment has not been made. While I was digging around to "Fix" the car with one of these, someone drove by and told what I was doing was illegal, thought they were just some nut from the apartment management, must have been someone with the lender.
I would add one. Heck I would add one to pens I lend out. If you are a personal liberty person, take your personal liberty to another lender that will give you $100k without any worries about getting it back with interest.
You sure have Kooked up that RV
Save your old water pump; it's probably the pressure switch not the pump. Sometimes just cleaning the switch on the pump will bring it right back.
the commercial ends @ 2:37
Coulda done without the advertisement...fast forwarded.
Maybe consider sliding drawers under the bed since you are lifting it. Makes access to your stuff easier.
You really should have been an engineer. My best friends worked their way up to the Class A model and her hub tinkered with all the things he didn't like about it inside. He also had to be careful about how many tools he took on their trips. He always changed his own oil along their way. I showed his wife some of the vlogs when you were in Washingdon State. She loved the scenery and it brought back good days for her. Her hub told the kids if they wanted the RV they would always be working on it, just like you said. Have a great Thanksgiving and thanks for sharing. I sure didn't think BeSpoke stuff was junk. My hub collected knives & would have loved that knife.
It’s great to se you attacking the RV projects, Eric. Nice work on the subscription box sponsorship. Thanks for all you do.👍🏼🤘🏼😎
Today I watched the water pump and magnate fix. Inside house with Jax. Love watching u at home!
Take a cruise on your bike. And give Jax a great big hug for me. My Ebbi and Bruno love to see Jax.
Win! Win! On the water pump replacement and the step mechanism! More wins to come!! Love Jax!
Always good to hang out with you and Jax no matter where the adventure takes us...❤
Like a few others here... a riser for your TV is a good option. Yes, you'll probably need to pull out the cabinet from the wall more, but having the window when not watching TV will be a nice improvement to your living space. It would be a fun project as well.
I love your fix it videos. I learn so much. I'm amazed at your talent for doing repairs. Thank you for the video. Have a blessed day.
I think you should design RVs.. You really make them more user friendly.. Im always excited to see what changes you make.. Cant wait to see what else you'll do with Miranda. 👍👍👍
For your next/backup generator: Champion Dual Fuel 3400/3500 portable inverter generator.
Quiet, 30A, wheels, runs on gasoline or propane. It will power your rig, even your 15K BTU A/C.
Less expensive than the Honda 2200.
I've got one for my rig, very happy with it.
The 3500 model is sold exclusively at Camping World and Cabela's. The 3400 model is sold everywhere else. They are the same generator.
That's the best $20 dollars worth of stuff that you can get in a $70 box.
Perfectly stated.
worthless products, yeh, maybe 20 dollars worth
..... $45 dollar box ....... the question ...... why did it not come with the ingredients to make whisky?
`Devil’s advocate’ here: Our boy Eric is becoming a `shopaholic’… $45 a month for useless Dollar Store junk?? (Mobile hoarder 🥴)
@@ramsterrod He's building more "storage" as we speak. I love the guy, but I expect that in a few more years we'll be seeing Eric tooling down the road in July, his rig covered in Xmas lights, riding on the spring stops, with Mickey stuff piled from floor to ceiling. There will be a tiny little foot wide path from the cab to the bed.
Hello Sir, we watch you all the time - love the content / videos. On the subject of the Generator, we have a 2007 Tiffin Allegro and a Onan 5500 (I think 5500 or maybe 5000) but non the less, we had a problem with it back in July 2017. It would not start and Camping World charged us over $900 to replace the Carburetor (I will note that it was probably my fault as we sat for several months and I did not run it from time to time). We went on our merry way and it would run then just stop for what seemed no reason. After the Carb replacement I began putting additive in the gas from time to time to make sure it did not gum up again but going down the road or hit a bump - you name it, it would stop (this was before I knew how to do Propane for the Fridge and such).... Fast forward, had a guy out to fix the awning and asked him about the ONAN. It seems there is an adjustment for the ALTITUDE on them. He adjusted mine all the way up for HIGH altitude (as a the time we were there) and I have not had a bit of a problem since then. Something to give a try - cannot hurt to try and may save you a few (or more) DOLLARS. Hope it helps, keep putting those videos out - be yourself and I say that because we all have our good days and bad days (especially this year).
This is what we would have done if this came through our shop:
Get a sample of gas from the hose going to the gen or into the carburetor. See if there is debris or water/bas gas. (Yes it is the same fuel as the main engine but something may happen in between).
Take a container with a gallon of gas and run a hose directly to the generator pump, run it on good gas. To see if it is on the gen or the fuel supply side.
There is very likely a 2nd low pressure (4psi) pump between the fuel tank and generator. It may have an intermittent connection, has problems when it gets hot, or just dead. We would replace. This is where I would place a bet is the problem. 3 weeks ago there was an 800 unit back order for this pump, Orielly's has a unit that is the same (4psi) but mounting is different.
If it is a carb problem then replace it. ONAN has told us before that the carbs do not clean or rebuild well and that if the carb has a problem then replace.
Don't let some of the comments bother you. There are so many monthly subscription boxes out there, one for every hobby, interest, etc. A lot of TH-camrs do dedicated videos just on their boxes when they receive them, so a couple of minutes at the beginning of a video in return for that video being sponsored is perfectly acceptable!
There are several possibilities for when this issue takes place. One possible cause, according to the handbook, is that the airflow is restricted and the engine is not getting cooled fast enough.
The reasons behind this possibility are that there is some debris blocking the inlet or outlet ports. This debris ranges from dirt and leaves to mice nests and other small animals making their home in these outlets.
Another issue that may cause this problem is that dirt and oil are covering the cooling fins. To solve this problem, you need to clean away all the dirt and oil from the cooling fins, including the internal passageways.
Other sources can be a vapor lock, air intake is set at cold weather settings, or the choke is set wrong. There are a variety of things to check before finding the right answer.
Part of your solutions may include adjusting the fuel mixture screws, check the float level, dirt got into your carb and you need to clean it out, and you may have a vacuum leak.
Then one simple source that may be very hard to fix, is that the weather outside is just too hot for the generator to work properly. Sometimes 90 degrees F is just too hot for the unit to handle and it overheats then shuts off.
I'm rebuilding a Fleetwood mallard and I know all these pains. I'm fixing factory stupidity lol, keep it up man, love seeing your progress!
Did someone say..."televator"???
I noticed you started having generator problems right after you did the last oil change. I would double check and make sure the oil filter isn't plugged or clogged or something causing resistance to the oil flow which is making the engine shut off after certain amount of time. And I also noticed you started having troubles with the slide out shortly after you ripped out the bunk bed framing. My guess is some of that framing for the bunk bed system was needed to help keep the slide out square on on the tracks or even the extra weight of the mattresses and framing for the bunk beds is needed to help keep down Force onto the track so the teeth don't jump off the track as the slide goes in and out. I have done similar modifications to camp trailers and RV's over the years and then come to realize after the fact there was specific engineering behind some of those things that I removed.
Ok... I Have a Mirada as well... Two things it could be... 1. Bad fuel line to tank or clogged intake inside main tank... 2. Vapor lock if fuel line is too close to exhaust... Solution for number 1... Pull fuel tank, inspect intake and clean... replace fuel line... Solution for number 2 reroute fuel line away from heat sources and or insulate the line to avoid vapor lock... Hope these ideas help... Best of luck.. :-)
Eric...are you okay, man? You seem to be in hyper-drive a lot. Best wishes.
Dude you laughing looking like your losing it lol
Glad to see that somethings are working out regarding fixing the camper. Got my fingers crossed that you will get them all taken care of.
Eric. I firmly believe there is nothing wrong with the generator itself but something electrical. I had a problem with mine in that it would run my entire coach but the minute that the a.c. compressor turned on it would kill the generator. I put new capacitors x2, fuses and breakers, fuel filters you name it and I replaced it. Even the brushes inside the power head. Turned out it was my control board. A tiny little section had shorted and left a little char mark that everyone missed. One new control board later and it runs like new again.
Considering that it was a DYI install, and at a location of your own choosing I'd say that you've done pretty well with that monster TV. I'm amazed that you were able to go as many miles as you already have without it falling to the floor. If you decide to reinstall it, I would suggest that you put a small ledge / shelf with a lip on it for the TV to rest on when the arm is in the retracted position. Another thing you could add are some clips on hinges on either side of the TV to hold it tight to the wall in transit.
You need a more durable type of vehicle than an RV. Now that you'll be spending some of your life at home base, your rig doesn't have to accomodate full-time, permanent living. Maybe build out a short bus schoolie. No sliders and welded metal studs for attaching TVs, etc.
My proffesional opinion on your generator Eric, Check the fuel connectons, It should mount directly to the tank, Not a t off on the other feul lines, so tank, filter, fuel pump generator. )if a over the top suction line is used, check for air leaks in the riser! It looks like it works fine for a wile, and then starving out off feul, Check the carb bowl after it just shutted off, if there is no fuel you know what is wrong. )Also , by priming it, prime it a little longer, then it will start easier. You mentioned the change in running after a while, Thats the engine running leaner, so it looks like a feul problem, or even the electric feul pump quitting. )Check iff it stays running when the engine runs, if it stops after a while it might be one of the things that can cause this problem, Check out , and change all the relays in the system, they were out. to, that can get the pump running out off power after a while.. And be sure that pump is a good one, that does not overheats and stop after a while... it wil not be the first one....use a electric pump they use in the old VW beetle, it should be a very low pressure one... ,carb use' remember these pumps are not cooled by the fuel flow! like by modern injected engines.
You said the video recommended draining the oil to no more than 1/4, yet you drained to just less than 1/2. When you did that, my thought was that this experiment wasn't going to work. Why didn't you drain more oil?
I noticed the same thing. Drain it down to 1/4 and try again before giving up costs nothing.
It’s definitely a fuel issue
@@williamwilkins3323 prob clogged carb
Clearly the people that build RVs don't use them!
Watching you and other Full time RVers I'm surprised that most RVs are not built to live in full time .
Oh bummer on the generator.
Congrats on the steps and water pump.. Celebrate the small victories. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
I know that great feeling knocking out a few projects. Awesome.
Eric , on an rv generator there is a internal fuel shut off in the carburetor that is electromagnetic that shuts the fuel off when you turn off your generator to prevent dieasaling . It is a safety function or i call it an rvers nightmare . Now on the carb there is a single wire , it is easy to spot its the only wire that attaches to the carb . Now disconnect it and tape the end so that it can not short out on anything . Then get some spare wire out of the tool box and hook one end on the power side of your starter solenoid and the other to where you disconnected on the carb , you should here a click . Next step run generator
You, my friend, are just handier than a shirt pocket! Bring your lunch, you're hired. You never cease to amaze me with knowing how these systems work and figuring out how to go about fixing them. Every, well most, gals would love to have an Eric Mr Fixit to travel with as repairs are bound to be needed on the road. I would be lost on my own. Hey, what's your opinion of having on demand water instead of the little pump and 6 gallon tank? Don't have too much fun. I'll get jealous. Happy trails.
The weather is looking pretty nice.. it's a good time to redo your R.V. get things fixed and remodeled... not bad... the bed remodel looks like a good idea ... ✌😀👍🇺🇸
Hey Eric, when the generator dies, you need to check for spark, if no spark, that will get you going in the right direction, if you have spark, 99% chance you don't have fuel, and you can use a shot of starter fluid in the carb to see if it fires. It's simple, you need fuel, compression, and spark. Compression won't be an issue I'm sure, so it's fuel or spark. It's a process of elimination. Myself, since it was surging before it shut down, I'm going with fuel.
Remember Eric if it has tatas or tires it’s going to be trouble. You can handle this. Take your time and spend more time trouble shooting and less time throwing parts at it. And I agree with the Televator idea that is what I thought about when you originally mounted the tv. Love your channel.
to much invested to give up on the gen now.
This is a late suggestion but MORryde builds a TV Lift assembly. I used one to relocate my TV in an earlier Class A that I owned. In yours, the TV could be behind the dresser when not in use and rise for when you want to watch. That would give you your window back when not watching TV.
I’ve owned several RV’s over the years and all had inside access to the water pump. I assume you checked behind panels near where it’s located to see if there’s inside access? Maybe save yourself some aggravation and time the next time you have to change it?
Not his first time changing one. I bet he did
Measure twice...
Too bad one couldn't install a back waterpump. However, you can resort to water containers for various uses as needed.
My Grand Design uses a “Televator” for the TV. When watching TV it elevates, when not watching, lower it for travel, and it exposes a window behind the TV...brilliant.
I really enjoy your fix it videos as well as the travel stuff! Be well. 😎
On the generator, mine was doing a similar thing, so I changed out the fuel pump and filter mounted just under the gen cabinet. solved my problem for now( fingers crossed)
Eric try one more thing before you give up on the gen, disconnect the oil pressure switch and ground it out and run it, if it keeps running replace the switch and reconnect the wire !!
Glad you got the steps fixed!!
Long time subscriber here and I have gained so much info about rv items and issues in the 6 years.. I have a suggestion on the generator (I did this with my Onan in a 1993 Itasca ). Run a fuel line from a 5 gallon gas can see if it continues to run until out of fuel... sounds strange but give it a try...
Thanks for the years of fun, entertainment and knowledge.
You needed that win! Hope you have a restful evening. Remember the reason for the season!
Eric, you do whatever you want. I'll watch whatever, whenever you post it.
RV w/Tito did a cabinet with the tv coming up out of the cabinet. A custom could be made for you. You have enough depth to make something behind the dresser you have there.
Get a propane/gasoline dual fuel inverter generator for your backup and T into your main propane system to supply it. That's what I have for my backup.
Nomadic Fanactic, build RVs! They would be much better quality too! I bet the designers dont even live in them either.
Glad you got your water pump and stairs fixed you have two homes you are working on with a camper and a house.
Hi Eric, I was really hoping that the generator was going to keep running and the problem was fixed...but that didn't happen... what a bummer!!! But when you fixed those stairs, I was so frickin happy lol your place looks wonderful!! Happy Holidays!! 😊🤗❤️🙏🎄
Some big but fun projects that you can do while enjoying your new house and Christmas too! You are a very handy dude Eric! Also, I too buy original parts. Thanks
What kind of leg breakers did you finance with? GPS tracker from a finance company?
This video was fantastic. This is why , I started watching you all those years ago. I love seeing the ups and downs of full time RVing. 👍👍👍👍
The joys of RV ownership. I can't remember all the parts you changed on generator but that almost sounds like the coil, once it gets heat soaked it shuts off. A good check would be to pull the plug wire and see if there's spark. Wouldn't think it would be a sensor since the control panel would have to shut it off.
Good thing you are extremely handy, yes you should should build RV’s
Necessity is the Mother of invention.
And your build would be way better by the look of things.
Fun seeing you at home!!
Love watching you doing your projects!
Yep, those fixes are victories!! Makes you feel good. Ugh, that generator. Great try tho. Decorations 🤣. Be safe. 😊👍
Several RV Manufacturers have dumped Onan for Yamaha Generators. Not as a back up but as your main Generator.
Check out the Westinghouse 2200 watt peak, 1800 watt run, investor generator, half the price of the Honda. You can find it on Amazon from $480-$525.
I have had mine for three years and no problems. Also had a good review on the Generator Power channel. At my base camp cabin I also have the Westinghouse 9500 watt peak, 7500 watt run gas generator there. Another great machine and very happy with it too.
Inverter not investor!
Hi there Eric and Jax. We need to get rid of stuff we don't need anymore. There's always work to get done it doesn't matter if its your home or your RV . We are always fixing things. Love your videos keep them coming we really enjoyed them. Give Jax a hug 🤗 stay safe out there on the road. Your friends Gerry and Pat
Eric, I know you may have had the fuel lines ,pump, and filter replaced.. The code 36 means the motor stopped without a command from the control board. With that being said fuel or air is what will shut it off. The last few times I have ran across this issue, I have found the pump will run for a while then stopped. It will not start back till the pump cools. Replace the pump. I know it may be a new pump but I have gotten several that were bad. Good luck with the rest of the repairs. Wish I was close so I could help.
I saw a video where the guy had the same problem you’re having with your generator, where it was cutting out after several minutes of running. For him it turned out to be the pressure sensor.
Pentair pumps have never lasted more than 2 years for me. The northsrar ones at northern tool are a favorite of mine. Just get the ones safe for drinkable water, they are made with blue plastic ends.
Eric you must run the gen with the cover ON. It's the way the unit is cooled. The "oil thing" is bogus. Keep your oil at the proper level.
Great video Eric, sometimes small victories are sweet with Motorhome repairs!!!
Eric unless you are willing to stay by the gen for when it dies to try and diagnose you are whistling dixie. When it quits right away does it turn over and start again, if not does it have spark, if yes take some either and see if it will start if it will start checking fuel lines all the way back to the tank if nec jury rig a tank beside the gen and see if it will run. You have to do these things right after it quits to know what circuit is giving you the problem.
You could put Jax’s cat tower on the slide, move the couch so it’s facing the smaller TV. That way you can keep your window.
Love these videos, very fun to watch.
Of you at your house , feels cozy
Maybe an obstructed vent, loosen or remove the fuel cap to the generator.
Wow Eric
Lots of comments about all your projects. One is the generator , gas line the next thing to try with the gas can! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving, stay safe and warm!
Hey Eric glad to see the new pump fix worked out👍 I'm getting ready to buy a class A myself and your videos give me ideas of what to lookout for. Here is an idea for the tv issue you have, you already have the projector, maybe just get a retractable screen. This way you can still have your window, when not using it and a multipurpose privacy screen when watching videos... Stay safe and busy to keep your sanity LOL
Have you thought about a hideaway cabinet for the tv? it would drop down when not in use.
would make a cool project lol
Thinking the same thing.
Yes
Like has been said here before, fuel line or supply...not the generator. Don't forget to keep your steps lubed.
You need to upgrade and install a televator. That way you raise it up when you want to watch and lower it when your on the road or want the window.
You could try a TV Lift, then put the TV behind the cabinet. Down when you want the window, Up when you want to watch TV.
Fun box. Keep smiling Eric there’s always something that needs fixing no matter where you’re at. 😉
You could have a TV that goes up and down behind the unit. I think the gen shuts down because of your advanced battery system. It has something to do with current flow. Maybe turn on as much as you can with half charged batteries and then run the generator. You said it cuts out at a selection of times. This looks like your advanced battery system/inverter is shuting down the generator.
Maybe talk to someone who knows this stuff and see if they also think the system is shuting the gen down. Stay positive. Bigger bed storage for your prepping supplies... TP a-plenty.😂😂😂👍
I love these project videos.
I can’t remember quite a while ago when you mentioned her that you were going to change oil on your generator. And dental problems occur after your oil change maybe not immediately but with an a month just a little thought so hopefully you’re having a good day
Hi Eric, the generator is air cooled. You should not run it without the cover or it will overheat. I would try again with the cover on. The cover actually helps “channel” the aire the cool the engine.
#75 Good morning, Eric. I like that you are showing all U-Tubers about problems when trying to repair certain Motorhomes. That may assist the U-Tuber in their choice decision about what brand of Motorhome to buy! Also, "Onan" is now Cummins-Bridgeway. Your unit may still be a true "Onan". Good Luck with that?
Hi Eric, Not sure if you have looked into this, but one of the site I found said if the generator shuts off when warm, it could be an airflow restrictions causing the engine not to cool fast enough. Debris maybe blocking the inlet or outlet ports or there maybe dirt or oil in the cooling fins.
Always enjoy the fix it videos.
Glad to see you got a win. Well done!
Get a Harbor Freight Predictor 2000 Generator. They are actually really good generators, made by Powerhorse. Northern Tool sells the same generator under the Powerhorse brand, but Harbor Freight is usually a little cheaper.
