You're gonna love this one. I figured out the water pump problem and the problem was me. The pump works fine and I feel like a newbie for missing this. It turns out my tank level was too low. So the pump was probably sucking air through the overflow. Yes. This occurred to me at 1AM and I had to go check. Sure enough. Thanks to those of you who chimed in to try and help, and thanks for not asking me the obvious question "is there water in the tank?" Hehe :)
Well now you can rest easily knowing that it not hanging over your head... Yes, I do understand how you would think about it at 1AM :)
@@brianfromnh2596 :) One less thing to fix.
Right on now you still have a spare pump 👍
Yes. All good.👍
Just an FYI, but if you set the water diverter from "normal operation" to "fill fresh tank" (it's that knob on the back wall in the pump compartment) the pump will run like that all the time when you turn off the water coming into the coach. When I saw your pump running I thought maybe that was the issue but I could see the diverter valve was in the normal operation mode.
Best video ever since it shows how we actually get things done on our RV’s when we are completing repairs and upgrades without extra help! High quality and consistent content over the years. Kudos
Wow. Thanks for the feedback. 👍 Makes my day 😃
Suggestion: TV mounted flush with the ceiling. Fold down to watch, up when traveling.
Yes. Looking at something similar for now.
I was going to mention AZ Expect. I watch him when goes through the roof repairs, and has great advice. Good thing you taking his recommendation.
Yes. He's a great channel follow 👍
I was about to do the same thing when I hear “Winnebago” and “Roof” together.
Ez expert
James the AZ expert is very good about what you should look for and how to repair. Very good about responding.
I learned a lot from James.
@@RVwithTito yes you are both very good and helpful for explaining and showing what you are doing and how to make repairs and improvements. Keep it up!
Thank you Brian for all the tips ,repairs
You're welcome 👍
We moved our front tv to the side next to the door as you also stated and I put a monitor in the old spot above the windshield for our security system with 4 outside cameras. I can also use the monitor for streaming if needed. :)
Now that I've removed, recovered and replaced the dash in my 2000 Chieftain, I thought you might like an update on my experience.
First, advice on removal. Remove as much of the console as you can and move it out of the way. I removed everything except the engine instrument cluster. There are some large molex connectors that can be disconnected, and the backup camera comes out.
There were four 1/2" nuts that had to be accessed from inside the engine compartment, right up against the windshield. One in front of each of the defrost vents. Use a long extension to get a socket up there.
There were five 1/2" bolts spaced equally across the dash, bolting the front/lower half to the rear/higher half. Three were easily reachable with the console removed. The one near the passenger window wasn't too bad either. Without the passenger seat removed, I could have got at it with a couple of long extensions on the socket. The one between the center and passenger side bolt required lifting and entire assembly to get a ratchet on it.
Before you can lift it to get at that last bolt, you have to remove four "legs" that have self tapping screws into the center box (heater plenum?) and side walls. The lower aluminum channel holding the stabilizing jack controls, vents and cigarette lighter sockets is held by small screw going down into it from above about every eight inches, and one screw going up at each leg.
With that, it will come out, slipping the engine instrument cluster through the console's hole. It doesn't come out easy. It's a tight fit, and the glue used on the original covering has a hold. But, removing it is worth the effort. It appears condensation will trickle down the windscreen, and rot out the metal support structure in front of the dash.
Using cardboard to protect the glass, I sprayed that area with rust conversion, primer, and then paint. Then I spread a layer of Sitka sealant. If your dash hasn't been off in 20yrs, I would suggest pulling it to inspect this area.
What a cool thing for my husband and I, as we are a national owner and I have worked hard to set the mood, the name was sea view, nothing on inside that looked like coastal life, so I worked hard to paint the wood🤭 a white wash to go for beach cabin, and painted the bottom cabs blue of corse , found most unique flooring that looks like old wood planks that have been painted and wore off, like yours it is in good shape we have lived in it for a year and wow I love it, more to do like inside hallway closets and bedroom closets for better storage. This one has great storage as I am an artist I need the whole hall way so we are still working. Someday I will make a video. Next is outside, those pesky vinyls yuk tried painting but just one stripe, it looks ok even very ok from distance but I want paint, we do full hook yet and we got kicked out of one place . Not because of looks , it’s not that bad, just needs bath for roof but because of age 20… so hopefully I can be acceptable with paint, of corse. Thanks for ideas if there is money saving ideas for cracked or fades I haven’t used let me know.
I have the same coach you have now. Same year and also one owner. I sanded and painted all the cabinet and drawer pulls and redid the floors. Upgraded to lithium and inverter and solar also.
Enjoy viewing what you do and the detail you show. After seeing your tv change in your class c I wanted to do the same in the Adventurer. Not done it yet. Thanks for sharing what you do.
Glad you're getting ideas from some of our projects. We're taking it slow. I ended up putting the TV in the front.
@@RVwithTito I did also. Just couldn't fit what you did in your class C with the elevator.
“Isn’t a whole lot going on back here in the bedroom area..”- had to chuckle on that line- and my Class C 24’ doesn’t even have a bedroom…:(
Tito, I really enjoy your video content. We have a 1999 34V D/P Adventurer bought at the height of the motor home shortage in 2021. I have done many repairs and a few upgrades and hope to create a couple of videos to share as I found next to nothing except James at AZ Expert who also saved my bacon with his roof knowledge. Did the same repair as you but I had to scotch bright my roof an applied oil base marine paint made for fiberglass bought at Lowes. (Rust-Oleum Marine Coatings Topside Paint Semi-gloss White Enamel Oil-based Marine Paint: 1-quart. First coat took a bit more than two quarts.
The paint on your rig is in amazing. One item I heard you mentioned was Dicor. I know James has said many times that product won't stick long term to the self-leveling silicone that Winnebago uses. Heng's 95502 White NuFlex #311 Sealant was his go to for self-leveling on these roofs. Just checked the price and it even more expensive that last year.

One small thing that I did recently was replace (so far seven) of the electrical outlets with residential/commercial grade outlets using this box:
www.homedepot.com/p/Carlon-Blue-PVC-1-Gang-8-cu-in-Flanged-Shallow-Old-Work-Electrical-Outlet-Box-B108R-UPC/100404058
and these outlets:
www.lowes.com/pd/Eaton-15A-125V-Commercial-Receptacle-WH/1002785010 I like them better than the Leviton
for the walls but gluing a strip of wood behind/inside the wall so the small wood screws would adequately secure the box. I also made a template the exact size of the new box and for marking and used an oscillating tool To carefully cut our the exact size for the new box. Our model also had a 3/4" oak standoff for the outlet giving it the additional room needed. I didn't noticed those in your class A videos. I also did have to replace the supplied screws with # 6 x 1-1/4" long screws That I fortunately had laying around from a prvious project.
www.mcmaster.com/products/screws/rounded-head-style~truss/thread-size~6-32/
Trying to figure how to make a nice TV cabinet like you did in your class C. That come out very nice! With our model it is a game of inches. Looking forward to the new A/C installation.
Cheers
I bought mine brand new in 2005. :) They're a great unit.
Instead of a baffle for the front edge of the solar panel, you could just stuff in some foam between the roof and panel frame. Thinking of the foam 'noodles' that they use for swimming pools.
Hmmm. Hadn't thought of that. I'll ponder it. Thx.
I had same problem with my water bump a few weeks ago.There was no water in the pump. I attached a tube to the pump and added water. It worked.
Bingo. My water tank was too low. Pump works great now. Go figure :)
I have a 1996 Itasca Suncruiser and with the help of AZ Expert have been slowly bringing it back to life. James has been a lifesaver.
I’m so glad you bought this new (old) rig. Because I love watching you two make all the improvements over time. Hours of hard work for you, absorbing viewing for me.😎
We're glad too. I'm glad to do the work and I'm glad you're enjoying the viewing :)
@@RVwithTito I am waiting to see where the new televator goes. I hope you plan on having a televator because that was such an awesome upgrade to watch you do last time and the end result was spectacular.
Love these videos. We also bought a used Winnebago class A and these are very helpful. Be sue to show the spring replacement on the leveling jacks as it is on our project list too! You do very thorough and nice work.
You bet. Never done it before but it looks straight forward. Wish me luck 🙏
@@RVwithTito from what I've seen you use wood wedges with the jack extended to get them off.
Nice looking rig. It looks like you're getting the important stuff knocked out.
I feel your pain. Especially the roof radius seals. Replacing all the old sealant is real work for sure.
Got er done...it too a while.
Tito, I have to admit, you work magic on this motorhome so well, that you even made the Proflex jump to your hand. Or maybe I should re-watch the video.
If you think about something long enough...things just come to you 💡🪄
For the water pump, look into a Marco pump from Fisheries Supply in Seattle. Very energy efficient and well made.
Thanks. Yeah I know that place. Just figure out the water pump issue. Pump works fine when there's enough water in the tank :)
Why not replace the bedroom 'Horror' lights with a couple of 12v fans. We often just rely on low draw fans when boondocking to keep us comfortable at night when in warm climates.
Ihave the same 2003 Itasca. Love mine. 35 ft. Love it. Well built! Water pump, pump or leak. Winnebago built alot of good rvs these years. Hang on to it your money ahead. Your interior is like ours! Can not find it any more!
Glad to hear. Yes. So far loving the build quality of this rig.
Look forward to seeing you do your Tito touch on this rig!
Me too 😉
Appreciate the listing of the light bulbs you used, just ordered for the reading lights. Hoping the LED will be a lot cooler.
Will definitely be much cooler than incandescent bulbs.
You know what’s really weird? Watching this rv being 20 years old… modern rvs took out like 59% of the storage. Every nook, every shelf, every cubby… good luck finding this storage in a class a these days. Its all… feng shui and open space. Even depth of cabinets is reduced. I am comparing my 2001 class c to my 2017 class c and its like night and day.
Yeah. I hear ya. I wouldn't buy new...that's just me.
I have a similar model a year older! I can't wait to see what you do! Thank you for sharing it's my first year living in a motorhome and I've been looking for what I need to do to maintain this model. So I'm so thankful for your video it broadens my knowledge on things I need to do!
Great. We'll learn together :)
Very good video. we bought a 33' class A last summer and are renovating it and still learning its different crazy systems. just spent a day trying to figure out why i had no power when unplugged from shore power. found it was a battery disconnect switch, duh.
Pro flex states its not for rubber, so that means I shouldn’t use it on an EPDM roof? I think your roof is fiberglass if I recall from the last video? I want to follow your lead and give my roof some needed upkeep, but I do have a epdm roof.
I had the same issue with the water pump when the wife let the water pump run with no water in the tank for over a couple hours. I think it blows the seals and couldn’t build pressure as a result and would run non-stop. Had to replace it and problem was solved. Thanks for the video’s Brian!
EPDM and TPO are both rubber roofs. Yes. The class A is fiberglass but our class C is TPO. I mostly used DICOR on the TPO roof.
@@RVwithTito Thanks for the reply! I really liked the process you demonstrated on the Class A. Attaching the rails with VHB tape was cool. I want to do the same, but since EPDM is designed to “shed” layers over the years, I wonder if VHB would be a viable means of attachment or should I do some roof penetrations. I used a 100W solar panel @ Lone Rock daily and it kept our AGM Battery topped off with no problem. It was great, so I think we’re ready to follow suit and put them on the roof. I had to rotate the panel through the day as the sun moved…
Got our BattleBorn battery, so I want to start planning the solar portion. I’ll rewatch your Solar tutorial again but wanted to ask these questions for the planning part. Kind regards,
Haunted light fixtures for sure! We recently sold our class C for a Sightseer 2012, so I'm always watching your progress. In our class C we spray painted our cabinets hinges, big improvement. Also pulled off the window boxes. We also got the lectric bikes this past summer. Next, solar!
That is awesome! We spray painted the hinges recently too. Lots of hinges, but they look nice.
looking forward to future videos as you make your class A fit your needs
I'll keep em comin👍
The water pump will stop running and pressurize the system when you move the lever off of "FILL" to "city water"
Tried that but will try again...maybe I didn't wait long enough. Thx.
@@RVwithTito After turning the valve, it probably has to fill the hot water tank and bleed the air from the system.
The winterizing valve by the pump should be closed, otherwise it sucks air.
@@foreverrving3281 Thanks. I appreciate it. I think the winterize valve is labeled bypass on mine.
Loving the advice, as I'm at almost the exact same stage right now. I bought a 2000 Winnebago Chieftain a couple weeks ago, and have been at it every day since. On your advice, I got the AC coil cleaned out last night. I don't think it had ever been cleaned. Couldn't find the coil at first, because it was so matted it looked like the wall. But, I sprayed the cleaner, waited, rinsed, repeated, until the can was empty. I can now see right through the coil.
I have all the carpet out. The carpet glue in the cockpit area was an entire weekend job. Found that I could let is soak in acetone for a few hours and it would get much softer.
After installing two new Fantastic Fans, I got the roof coated in two coats of Tropicool all the way down to the marker lights on front and back. I like this. Everything feels sealed really solid.
My biggest obstacle right now is getting the dash off so that I can cover with new vinyl. Painting will not work for what is left of the original. Any ideas?
How satisfying that must have been to expose the coil again :) The projects are never ending. I just spent the last couple weeks getting the RV exterior all re-sealed :P Sorry. I don't have any ideas about the dash yet. Do you need to remove it to cover it though?
@@RVwithTito I can't see how to get new fabric down past the front without taking it out. But, I moved to the back and started working my way forward. Bedroom is done. Bathroom I'm avoiding. New floor is about done back to front. I'm moving back to the dash tomorrow.
Here's something to consider. Vinyl tile. The good kind shaped like boards, with the feel of the grain in it. Don't lay it straight. Snap a line down the center from the cockpit all the way through the bedroom. Lay the planks at a 45 degree angle so that the tips interlock. Now, lay down a row to the outside of those two, angled in the opposite direction, again interlocking with whats there. If you substitute in a different color plank for one "row across", you get a W. If your wife starts suggesting that you need to redo the floor that you just put down in the real house, you done it right.
Always a good watch. Good project items, those led savings will add up....
Thanks! Yes we are always running on batteries so any electrical savings helps.
2 screws on each side of the Front cap when you sealed it? You are right, James is always fixing roofs, and he is King
I did one screw instead of two. Seemed to do the job.
Hay Brian, Great Job on the Solar Panels! Really like what Your doing so far with the New RV! Keep up the Awesome work!😎👍
Thanks! I appreciate that.
I am so excited to watch all of your projects! I have a 2003 Winnebago Brave. And love to do my own DIY.
Hope my experiments and upgrades give you some ideas.
To help with the light/sun block on the front windshield area my wife made up sun blocking screens that are held on by magnets installed inside the windshield and in pockets sewn the the back of the screens. Easy on easy off. They work great. They really help with the heat from the sun on the extra large Winnebago windows. Check out Magne screens and make your own.
Thanks. We have a privacy shade for the outside. We're looking more for an inside privacy curtain for those rest-stop and walmart nights.
Hi Brian ,
Great Vid we have a 2003 Winnebago Explorer 32 In Australia its on the chev chassis 6.5 turbo diesel No Slides on ours , I have the same drama with the roof lining inside its snowing , I sprayed upholstery cleaner on (The foam stuff ) and used the Vac To pull it back off worked great , its been 6 months and no more dust , Cant wait to see the rest of the build ,,

Great to hear. Thx 👍
Hey Brian. Be sure to check out the sealant call-out sheet from Winnebago for your coach. If they used silicone sealant during manufacturing then you’ll have to use silicone, not Dicor. Dicor will never stick to silicone no matter how well your clean it. Not sure about Eternabond or the Gorilla tape. Learned that the hard way after re-sealing the bathroom skylight on our 2008 coach with Dicor. It peeled away very easily. ProflexRV silicone sealant is good stuff.
Thanks Brian. I have a tube of the recommended self leveling sealant but haven't used it yet. Don't plan on using Dicor. Yes. I'm really liking the ProFlex and always seem to be needing more. Good stuff. Hope you guys are doing well.
I have never done this but a high definition projector with surround sound . I have a friend who only buys the best and he went with it in his home and it is impressive.
Brian, good to see you keep going with your channel and that you are allowing us to learn from you! Keep it up you are doing a great job!!!
Thanks, will do!
Awesome update! The new to you coach is coming along nicely. Looking forward to watching the electrical update (plus all the others you do.) Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks. I'm about ready to start wiring things up.
Nice to the work being done 👍😎🇺🇸🚐
Brian, I am excited that you have taken on this project to see your innovative upgrades. I recently used Proflex...wow that is some incredible caulk. Let's see if Melinda wants to have a motorized curtain/shade for the front cab area....just a push of a button to open and close. Carry on!!
Anything motorized would be cool :) Yes. Love the ProFlex
Love this channel! You are always my first choice to see if a new video is out. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks! Will do!
thanks brian for all of your ideas. i have a class a myself. if you have sprayers in your tanks, make sure they aren't on. they're easy to miss.
No sprayers that I'm aware of connected to the water pump.
Great video, can’t wait for updates. We have a 03 Fleetwood Excursion on a Freightliner chassis so really looking forward to your progress and updates. Hello from Crescent Bar!
I'm hoping to find the same make/model, but in the 35u floorplan. I'm loving your videos for ideas. Thanks.
Happy hunting. 😊
Thanks for sharing Brian, always enjoyed your videos and cool innovations on the Class C. As a class A owner you had me seriously considering downsizing. Looking forward to your new adventure
Staying Class C is cool too. We're excited for the new changes too. Turns out most of our full-timer friends are Class A owners. So I guess we need to fit in :)
In a separate video, could you describe your process for determining the correct replacement LED bulbs and how you source them? I think many of us could learn from you. You've sure made lots of progress while we've been off cruising. We hope to begin some fall camping here in the Pacific North Wet.
They are all pretty standard bulb types. I've got links to all the bulbs I used in the description.
Regarding colored lights, red doesn't mess with your night vision.... I like that option for things I might use as a night light.
I like the red light too. Also works good at night when there are bugs around.
@@RVwithTito I wish the RV LED replacement fixtures had an option of remote adjustable colors like you can get in household LED's.
Thanks for sharing, can't wait to see how to repair that wall with water damage. I have the same problem.
Sure. I'm not anticipating any issues. I'll make sure to have the camera rolling.
Looking great Brian, so much work involved in caulking that roof and windows!
On our old Georgie Boy we had curtains on the front window and I hated them. On on our new Mirada we have MCD power roller shades (the black out and tinted one). They are awesome when parked and great when driving into a setting sun. I suggest that you look into them. They are are also awesome on the side windows to keep the sun off you when you are driving. The best thing about a class a is the view and the worst thing is that all that glass becomes a greenhouse on a hot day.
I just finished the re-sealing jobs today. It's taken this long. Ugh! and Yay! Melissa is working on the replacement shades. I think they'll turn out fine. Thanks for the suggestions. BTW we do have privacy shades that clip to the outside while parked for a while. But we do spend a bit of time on the road and often stop at rest stops, parking lots and other places. It's nice to just pull the shades inside from full privacy.
I'm new to your channel... I'm also in the Washington area. I've picked up some great idea's from you for use on my 5th wheel.
You have really done a good job at all your upgrades. Keep it up. 💯 you will have it like new before long. Have a wonderful new year.
Yup. That's the plan. Much more to do.
Can’t wait to see all these project videos! Very exciting
Me neither :) Lots to do and share.
We replaced the front CRT TV w/a Smart unit. Now thinking about using that space above the entry stairs. . . Can go to a 32" (diagonal) unit vs the 27" above the dash.
32" is what I have. It fits the opening perfectly.
On both of our Winnebagos there is a switch in the water system that goes from "normal" to "tank fill". That's how you fill the fresh water tank from the city water hook-up. If that switch is left on "Tank fill" while the pump is on, the pump runs constantly.
Yeah. I have that switch. Pump still runs in both positions.
@@RVwithTito switch the switch?
I really hope you can do a video on repairing the water damage under the passenger side window, I have the same damage on our 2000 hurricane, thanks for the great videos
I plan to. There's also a little by the drivers window too that I just found while removing the shades.
Great tour, Brian. If you have any lingering odors that you just can't seem to get rid of, buy or rent an Ozone Generator and leave it on in the unoccupied RV for a few nights. I guarantee you, it will eliminate all odors.
Outstanding tip. Very useful piece of equipment. Thanks. Just ordered one.
Charcoal dies an amazing job to remove smells. Couldn't be cheaper.
@@volvoqueen9698 Hmmm 🤔 Hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the tip 👍
@@volvoqueen9698 - Maybe so but it takes forever.
Excellent quality work, Tito!!
Thanks!
I have been looking for replacements for the outdoor and basement LED in my Fifth-wheel that are bright enough and I think you helped me find them.
Thank you.
You're welcome! I got lots of extras and will replace all of my compartment lights as well.
Thanks for the update. Really looking forward to your solar/battery installation.
Yes. It's coming next.
Looking forward too learn from you. Keep up the good work.
Will do. Thanks.
Have you covered your viar installation. Would love to see your permanent hard wire solution. Thanks for all your vids!
I used on my 2003 winnebago the satielite that was removed was an antena for for my wi fiil. You can raise it with some minor engeering.p
Funny you mention that. That's exactly what I'm planning to do. Attach MIMO antennas to the base and move it around.
We have a similar seating and tv viewing angle. We opted to mount the tv on a swivel mount and keep it located above the cab area. We also angle it slightly downward. Just a thought.
Nice job so far. Appreciate very much that you out the links for the products. I wasn't aware of the LED ceiling light replacements and the bulbs. I have already replaced most of my interior lighting with LED but not everything yet. I plan to replace all of our ceiling lights soon, Thanks.
You bet. They keep getting smaller and cheaper every year. Good luck!
I have done a lot to our 03 Winnebago and have more to do, but I have found that the bathroom sink drains into the black tank witch will fill it fast. So i need to find a way to replumb that to the gray tank. The more I look into our 30b the better I find the build quality. If I could talk my wife into a composting toilet and use the black tank as a gray tank would be a easy fix.
Whaaat!? I'll have to check the bathroom drain on ours. That's not cool. Not to mention a stinky sink if the p-trap were to fail.
Our water pump keeps running as well, usually after a prolonged time without using the pump. We usually open the faucet, let the air and the water out and then the pump pressurizes the lines and stops. All I can figure is there is air in the system between the pump and the faucet which is messing with the pressure.
Definitely air in the system. Figure it out last night. The water level was too low, so it was sucking air through the overflow outlet. Oops :)
Water pump running all the time. Check your outdoor shower Make sure the valves are off. Pump will pump water recycling back to the tank
Thanks. It ended up being low water level in the tank 🥴
Looking good Brian! Loving the updates and can't wait to see what's ahead.
Thanks. Still a ways to go. I'll keep sharing the progress.
I absolutely love you workmanship and creativity. I have a Winnebago Voyage that is basically the sake. I am using your Solar Panel Installation techniques, but I'm not real Solar savvy.I would love some wiring advice. If you would message me back that would be great. Thanks & Blessings!!
I've got a wiring video coming out tomorrow. Hope it helps.
recommend remove the bed sconce and install USB since its 12v
Definitely will be adding USB ports everywhere 👍
When you swap out the springs, pick one or two to keep in your spares box. Those thhings break more often than you'd think and it would be nice to have a temoporary spare while you wait for a part.
Hi Brian! We have a very similar 2003 Winnebago Brave, and, among other things, are replicating your cabinet door handle replacement idea. The ones we've put on so far really do look good, but here's a question - how did you replace the pantry handles? Are they even screwed in, or glued on? Thanks!
Ah yes. It's a pain. You have to take the pantry apart. The screws are hidden behind the front finished panel.
Brian. Congrats on the new project! BTW the water pump should not run continuously. It will burn out. If it is a Surflow 4800 it is easy to adjust with a 5/64” Allen wrench. Good luck!
Looks like it’s going to be a great rig when you get done and hit the road. I know I would like to do the same type thing to a rig I find…maybe next year! Really enjoy your episodes. Keep ‘‘em coming!
I saw a lot of bad reviews on that Gorilla tape. Would like to see how it holds up on your roof??? Love your videos... keep'em coming.
Your ingenuity is inspiring! Are you planning any suspension upgrades?
Definitely. Probably sometime next month.
You're the man
I really like your channel. I hope you show the decal replacement. Since I'm not the smartest person out here, I dont get lost during your work. Thank you.
I'll try to film it. It's basically heating up and peeling the old decal, cleaning the surface and putting on the new one.
I would like a new intro tune . I miss the older one you had done . Time for another update !
:)
If you leave the grease underneath there it'll never get rusty
Hello 👋
Just to let you know I install a 12v tv with DVD player in my travel trailer and it work perfect. I got it in Walmart on line.
DVD player? This rig already has a VHS :)

Good Morning. I'm looking at putting on two Solar panels. I was thing of either 2 HQST 200 Watt each or two Renogy 175 Watt panels. I have two Battle Born 100ah for a 200ah sys. I have a 2000 Watt inverter but at this time I do not plain on BOON DOCKING very much or long. I do have a back up invertor Generator. This will be for help maintain the batteries. Any sajustshion would be Great. Jack
Good overview, and what a great project RV. It appears the rig has good bones, just needs some TLC.
Thanks. Yes. Lots of elbow grease and TLC going into this one.
My wife and I are watching every video to this rig as we have the same one, including the water leak damage next to the co-pilot seat.
We are ordering bronze hardware to get rid of the gold…
Thank you in advance for every comment and video you will be doing, we are looking for ideas as our is 100% original and we need an upgrade.
Just purchased brushed nickel cabinet lights to replace the brass. Didn't feel like painting them all :)
Hi Brian. Have you checked those radii lately? Winnebago used Silicone sealant on these roofs, which leaves a residue when removed. I'm seeing a lot of revviews that the profilexRV does not adhere to silicone residue.
Thank you for another great video. What type of roof do you have?
Fiberglass
It's the circulation pump for the jacuzzi
I have a 2003 Forrest river motor home that has the same TV set up as yours it was a heavy tv I took out old tv cut bottom of cabinet flush with over head cockpit built an inclosed cabinet bought actuator from progressive tv goes up flush can’t see it when not in use kind of like what you did on your class c but up side down
Passenger window leak: could be the black rubber weatherstripping that was leaking and not the sealant around the window?? Just saying. Looking good!!
I'll double check that. Thanks.
I want to advise check out his vids good knowledge base for winnebago. Hidraulic oil is an excellent anti corrosion so at least no rust around.
That's a bonus 👍😄
Boy do I wish I had your talent or as a neighbor…ha!
Looking forward to the next episodes
Really interested in your tv plans.
Your water pump is about to fail. When they get worn out they often run constantly because they can’t reach the pressure cutoff point.
