Guuuurl, I cannot thank you enough for creating this channel. I’ve been stuck with an 12VDC issue reconnecting to an older Dometic frig and your channel has been a life saver. Been here now for a few hours. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.
Hey, Emily, old geezer here who's moving into first ever travel trailer in just a couple of days, -- great adventure!! I'm buying first tools based on your recommendations. Keep up the good work. I definitely feel less anxious with you riding along with me.
I. Must say I stumbled on your channel by accident. But wantto say it's great that you help out rvers learn about how to help themselves out thank you keep up the good work
Love the info. As a full-time Rv'er, I don't have a garage to return to and grab the oil, lubes, sprays, chemicals, etc as needed. What would be your top 5 of these type products? I would love to see a video on this subject. I always try to use things that will work for several different applications. Success to you in this career!!!
Regarding multi meters, it is a good habit to get into to always go to the resistance measurement part on the dial (ohms) then test your leads. If it reads 0 or close to 0 then your leads are good but if they read high or open then they aren't working and it could be something simple like the banana plug isn't plugged in all the way or something like Emily experienced, a broke wire. After you verify that your leads are good then go and take your voltage measurements. I've been an electronics technician for about 18 years and had to learn this the hard way.
Best ACTIONABLE and useful RV channel on all of youtube! I truly think that is objectively true. Not an Amazon affiliate link in the whole video. Try to find that on other rv channels. Also...I knew you had to have some kind of fitness background. Shoulders lookin 💪! Thanks for being so refreshingly real on TH-cam!
You can avoid the bad meter problem by always testing your meter on a known live circuit first. Then test your “dead” circuit, then check that live circuit once more. If the meter reads voltage on the live one then zero on your trouble circuit then voltage on the live circuit again you can trust it.
Nice video. Instead of using crimp connectors have you seen wago connectors? They are simple to use. Just strip the wire push it in and close the clasp. They are great for replacing a broken crimp. Also if you are adding something and need to splice in these are great for that. They can be used to. Connect various number of wires 2, 3, or 5.
I’m not going to lie… I hate working on scheintek slides. 😂 they are such a pain in the butt. And I don’t have one on my RV so I need to find someone to let me film on there’s. But it’s on the list for sure!
Agree with everything except the crimper style. I prefer the Klein style dimple crimper vs. the clamshell style. first thing I look for when diagnosing problems is bad clam shell connection. Often when I go over the clamshell connections with my dimple stlye crimper the problems are solved....

So I'm a maintenance tech. I watch your videos to get a laugh. I love your style. Keep it up girl

That being said..l do think you should put that Klein tool in the description with an affiliate link,just not pushing it in videos.
Wow, thanks!
@@rvrepairwoman I agree! The first thing I did was check your video description for your Amazon store links to the items!!!

Great entertaining video information. Thanks Don

Yup! Love wagos, they’re just expensive for the number of repairs that I do.
Informative and entertaining. New subscriber.
Welcome aboard!
Can you do a video of the schwintek slides I think it's the one with a squiggly lines?
Thanks and can't wait for more. 😃
I would also love this!

You got this!
You got this! 💪
Check out Klein 80083 and a Klein 14 in 1. Combine the 2 into one Super Tool. UPDATE- Klein 32303HD combines them now.
You need to sell a T-shirt that says ”I got this! “ RV repair woman
😂it’s in the works!!
Headlamp! Just saying
You really don’t like being zapped with high voltage????
Well… I’m just shocked😲 🤣
😂😅😂
Ohm my. I’m not up on the current jokes. Watt did you say?
@@jeffschaeffer5520 why so much resistance ? 🤣
