AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage - only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on TH-cam are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra! If you eventually make a purchase via one of our affiliate links, we will receive a few pennies (and Sean typically invests these pennies in duct tape and video gear). Again, it doesn't cost you anything to click these links, and it's a great help to us. As always, safe travels, happy camping, and THANK YOU!
One thing I figured out just lately is whoever named those mountains the Grand Tetons was mighty, mighty homesick!
Lol!
It's refreshing to see a woman, who's secure in her inner and outer beauty, who's not constantly primping or adjusting so as to look absolutely perfect on camera. Yes, refreshing. You go girl!
Aw, thank you! I love to get dressed up, but I'm okay being bare faced and relaxed too!
We all need a Kristy in our lives!
She does look perfect on camera! No need for primping
She doesn't use Instagram.
@@feetincheseighths, I do actually! :)
I ran into them in the campground as they were leaving for the horseback ride in this video. Meeting them in person helps to understand why their channel is so successful. They are very personable, clever and friendly. Exactly like in the videos. It was weird after watching so many videos talking to them in person. Same voices I am very familiar with. Same personalities. And the gave me a LoLo sticker! It was very cool to meet them in person.
I love their videos ❤❤. Always helpful tips, truthful, beautiful people out living the dream, letting us go along! They don’t slam other channels, no DRAMA!! We don’t need to hear about their personal problems. It’s just them doing what we love best living their life to the fullest! Thank you
My dad taught me a long time ago that the water pump Will go out when you don’t want it to….so…I have kept an extra brand new water pump in storage. So far I have not needed it, but it will happen and I will be ready!! (They are not that expensive so it only makes sense).
Who could possibly dislike this? Sadly a sign of the times.
”The view just keeps getting better”… and Kristy comes walking up. 🥰 Sweet!
😁
I love the sound of the wind in the aspens
Our water pump crapped out in 2018 at Grant Village in Yellowstone. I was happy to learn that there's an RV repair shop at Fishing Bridge, where I was able to buy a new pump.
The independent minded horse is adorable!
RV water pump spares are a vital accessory. In our 2015 Lazy Daze Class C, I have carried a backup water pump since 2016.
Like Ronny, I offered my extra pump to my good friend, Ron, while our LD gang had our annual get together in Morro Bay, Ca. His pump was leaking constantly and was able to tighten a couple of fittings to stop the leak. Thank goodness. I still have my spare H2O pump.
By the way, water can be retrieved from your fresh water tank by placing a bucket below the fresh water tank drain valve. Hope I never have to do this, but it is a simple, practical way to get water when your RV water pump fails or your RV electrical system fails.
Love your videos. Love the Tetons. 2022 will see my daughter and myself in Yellowstone at the West Thumb. Probably hang out at a few other areas as well. Thanks for the great tips.
Love your sense of humor.
If you still have the old pump, you should try repairing it to keep as a spare. They can often be brought back to life by removing the 6 screws from the pump assembly and cleaning out the valves inside or by replacing a $5 switch. Use TH-cam to find lots of DIY videos on the subject.
That's what I did after my original pump quit. Turns out it was one of the rubber valves gone bad. So got a valve replacement kit, changed out the head and now have a spare pump.
@@edhickl205 That's my style. I wouldn't spend $90.00 on a spare I may never need, but I'd totally rework a used one and throw it in my RV toolbox. Fortunately, they don't usually fail all at once. You'll probably notice them getting weak or sounding different before you completely lose your water.
We carry a spare water pump, refrig motherboard & refrig fan, gas bottle pigtail, toilet gasket seal, no-blow fuses for the Barker jack, 20a fuses for the breaker panel. What can't you do without? If it breaks can you get by? Some parts are harder to find, our CCC2 furnace/air thermostat failed and even the Airstream factory didn't have one. Love your sence of humor. See you down the road.
Repairing the pump can lead to a forensic investigation into its failure. Possibly a real reason it failed or an indication of just poor quality
Great video with beautiful views. We have a remote cabin with an RV water pump and I have a spare because it’s a day round trip to get another.
That rustling sound in the trees from the wind is why those trees are called Quaking Aspens.
Those waterfalls are gorgeous
Oh how that PT chant was one of my favorite while in ARMY 74/77......
You guys are awesome don’t ever stop. Thomyt
Just further proof of the fact the RV’ers are amazing people who, if at all possible, will help another RV’er. I just got home from a weekend camping trip (I’m a solo camper) and I was able to give one couple, who were new to RVing, an additional length of sewer hose and lent another camper my impact wrench. It made me feel so good to be able to pay forward what has been done for me many times!!
Your a very kind person Lori💕 thanks for your support!!
We haven't bought a travel trailer YET. I would have never thought about a spare water pump ... "ADD TO CHECKLIST!" Thanks Y'all!
Airstream Nuts, Bolts, and Water Pumps!!! Now that is one sweet, kind man to not only offer his waterpump, but install it for y'all too!! Gorgeous scenery!
Thank you
The more spare parts you bring the less likely you are to need them. I learned this from my sportscar racing days.
man I want to hike that trail. I hope guys know how lucky you are to be able to do what you do. Thank Jesus everyday.
We certainly do!
As a very very long subscriber I gotta say one of your best videos just because you took us along on the hike. This is not to take away from all of your great videos but this one is a piece of art. Thanks 😊
Oh and btw I am one that carries a spare pump btw I am a master plumber so there’s that 😂😂
John Denver wrote songs about winds thru the tree's. I think the song is Song of Wyoming, maybe it's wind in the sage... but you get the idea.
Love the channel!
Shawn,you can see the love she has for you when she sees you and smiles that smile you are both the luckiest couple out there. Keep on keeping on and never let the honeymoon end
Its usually NOT the motor that goes out in thd pumps.... but the impeller. And it can be replaced in your old pump.... and you instantly have a working and reliable spare.
Best shot Sean was of my Baby Girl Kristy on the bridge over the water!❤️
Thank you, Daddy-O! ❤ Love & miss you!
Wow! Beautiful autumn colors.
your wife, is for sure; keeping you young. great couple. have fun and stay young.
A spare water pump is a good idea. We carry an extra 75 gal of water in an after market water tank that fits in our F150 tow vehicle bed. We purchased a small portable water pump to pump from the truck to the trailer, in an emergency such as shown here we could use the portable water pump to supply the trailer until we can get to town. In an emergency we could hook the portable pump to the city water input on the trailer using a pressure regulator. Keeps from having to break camp just to get a new pump. The tank in the truck is permanently mounted and plumbing to the tailgate, out truck has a 120 Vac outlet in the bed and we use a small 300 watt inverter to power the pump. So far this has worked for us as we boondock 99% of the time.
Really enjoy the LoLoHo video's, Keep up the great information.
Thank you both very much for taking me along. God bless both of you.
So glad you could get that pump fixed.
We drove down to Port Aransas TX and stopped in San Antonio on way picked up sewer flies in Black tank but did the bleach and flush and they are gone thank God.
Last trip the window in bedroom exploded out still love our FC 25FB!
We carry a spare water pump but it serves a purpose beyond "just a spare". We use it when boondocking to pump water from portable jugs (similar to those shown in a previous video) into the fresh water tank (it beats holding 40 pounds up to the filler port).
With the pump we have input and output hoses (with appropriate fittings) and 15 feet of wire with a fuse and switch. We power it from a 12v outlet (Anderson powerpole) we added to the outside of our battery box (we have internal lithium batteries so "jumper cable clips" on the batteries in the box doesn't work for us).
I do the exact same thing ... and suggested it to them in an earlier video ... after watching him heft up that 5 gallon jug, to pour it into his rig . 👍
Damn that dart didn't think of that that shit. 😕 I'll be doing it that way
Doh I just repeated your comment guess I shoulda read before I wrote☺️
Great vicarious visit to the Grand Tetons. Thanks
I realized that I have not read all the comments here, but I would offer an alternative, had you not have found your friend with a water pump! And this can also be of help to other people in the future. Go to your low drain point, drain out a bucket or 2 of water, heat it up, granted you cannot take a shower, but you can wash and clean youself..or..take an outdoor shower in a shower tent, with a portable shower, or a pressurized, hand pump sprayer..and you can also dump water in the commode for flushing or flushing! :) Been there done that !
Great idea on having a spare water pump!
It’s a great thing that you of an airstream guy near by that had an extra water pump. Glad you got it fixed and we’re able to hike and horse back ride. Looking forward to next video. Have a greasy night. And week.
Nothing sloppy at all about this video. So glad I saw your channel and got into RV'ing!
I always had a spare pump with me in my camping days..used it too..and lent it to others too
A Wookilar, haha! That brought back some great movie memories
After having a water pump go out on us while camping two years ago, I carry a spare now. Your video speaks the truth about carrying a spare for some items. I told my wife that we need to visit the grand teton area next year in the fall after seeing your video. Thanks!
We do and a lot of other things for our Airstream. We’ve learned in the past as boaters the spare parts you carry are the ones you’ll never need. If don’t want something to break carry a spare!
Thank you for a beautiful video. I started carrying a spare water pump 3 years back when our sons water pump went on him while on a week long trip. He had to drive over 200 miles round trip to find one. It's a small piece of mind that goes a long way.
It is nice to see your Pretty Mrs not feeling the need for all the War Paint, BTY love the video
Great advice in carrying a spare water pump. Glad you had a friend nearby that carried a spare! Enjoy the journey.
Ive had to do a few road and campsite repairs on my 01 f350 7.3 over the years. One time I had to replace a hose on the brake booster and they had to ship the parts by boat to the campsite. Thank god I always carry tools.
Been there,done that! I use my spare pump for water transfer into my fresh water tank. Stay safe.
After being' on city water for about 5 days we planned on boondocking at another campground. To our surprise, our water pump would turn on but would not pump. We couldn't find a new one being it was a Sunday in Steamboat Springs, Co. So...... we took it out and started taking it apart. It has a rubber/silicon diaphram that appears to be stuck in one position. We took it out and cleaned it and spring and it worked! Now when we are on city water for awhile, we turn it off and use the water pump for a few minutes so it doesn't get stuck in one position. It was really a simple repair. The hardest part was crawling under kitchen sink and removing the water pump. We now carry a spare but at least we know how to repair.
I never leave home without a spare (working) water pump. Hard lesson learned, in about 2007 when I spent a 3 day weekend bringing pans of water up from our low point drain. Our first rig in the modern era. I'm glad I knew enough to know where the LPD was and what it was.
Me too. Always have a spare :)
By the way, you are now the sixth TH-cam channel to have replaced a water pump of the channels I watch. So a spare is good advice
Wow! Someone suggested using the spare pump to deliver water into the fresh tank when boondocking. It will take a little setup, but I think it's a great idea. Not only will the spare make boondocking easier, it will be there in case the main pump fails.
Ha! What's funny is that I carry an extra one too! I had mine go out in Dallas and had to pick up a new one, so I picked up two!
Granted, my water pump chose a great location to stop working.... :) Glad you guys had Ronnie!
If you don't have access to a spare, you can always use a bucket to capture water from your low-point drain, heat it in a pan on the stove for bathing (sink bath) and keep a bucket full for flushing until you can get a pump.
Ronnie to the rescue 🙌
Thank you for sharing your journey.
2-4-6-8! Who do we appreciate!?? RONNIE! RONNIE! Yay! RONNIE! 🎉🛻🚌
As always, thank you to the original, LoLoHo !
Awesome video, the scenery was the best for me as a hiker. Funny, Bears in the area and the wife is up front.
Really enjoyed this video. Showed that there are lots of wonderful places to enjoy with no crowds.
I've always carried a spare water pump. In just under 5 years, its come in handy twice. I used it once to help a friend out of a jam (like yours) and one to get myself out of a jam (both were shurflos but that is still the brand I use). After mine failed, I installed a large accumulator tank, one to reduce the cycling on the pump and two to get steady water. Time will tell if it improves the longevity of pump. Other spares I carry: FUSES (obviously) but not just the blade type, I also carry the glass tube type (go ahead ask me why :-)) Here is a hint, in my case, they're located behind my fridge. Replacement breakaway switch (yup kids accidently activated it and it wasn't resettable) . Two 5ft foot lengths of 1/2 PEX along with assortment of sharkbites. The list goes on and on but those are a few things folks might not think about and they're pretty light to carry. Cheers!
Thank you for sharing what a wonderful video and a reminder of the vacations we need to take
Thanks, I’m glad someone finally acknowledged the genius in me . Also carry slide motor & gearbox, window regulators , blind repair, spare awning , battery charger & pretty sure I’m forgetting some thing
Having spares of thing like that is a great idea. I would also go as far as to have it installed next to the main water pump and plumbed in with valves so it can be isolated. That way, if the main pump goes out (usually when it is dark and far more difficult to replace), all you have to do is close the valves on the main pump and open the valves on the spare and move the electrical plug from the main to the spare. 60 seconds and you are back in business no matter how dark it is or how bad the weather.
You two incredible people are so blessed as are we for being able to follow you. Thank you.
Can't beat the good ol' Army marching songs to distract the troops when "taking the hill."
And yes, now that you brought up the song, I *DO* remember to original lyrics LOL.
So do you remember the cute one that starts out,
"The prettiest girl, I ever saw, was sipping bourbon, through a straw..."
Had not thought of a pump as a carry on. Sounds like a good segment for you. Kristy you keep that old man on his toes.
If you have a container or bucket you can get water from your low water drain or tank drain to use to wash with or flush the toilet. Good thing there was a spare pump nearby, though.
So lucky. I also carry an extra water pump, and fittings for water leaks. Need it if you do a lot of boondocking. Great video
Thanks Don
have had an extra water pump right after we bought our travel trailer , and I also use to it to transfer water from out 6 gallon water jugs we carry while boon docking works great and saves my back from those heavy jugs lol. Thank you for your inspirations. Watched your videos for several years ,before we bought our travel trailer. Their is so much of our wonderful county we are goinf to be visiting in the near future, once we retired. And I would just like to say a big thank you.
I do like your style, your patience, and how you and Kristy take things in stride. A dead water pump doesn’t appear to dampen your spirits at all. The joy and humor you both share should be contagious. Thanks your example keeps us inspired for our next trip.
We had the same problem this Spring and found a pump in Jackson at a mobile RV repair had one in his shop and sold it to us
Listening to the leaves rustling in the wind. Even heard it over the gurgling and gasping of tortured lungs! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 If your unused to horse back riding then a jar of Vaseline is a life saver. Liberally applied up the inside of the legs and around the nether regions. Trust me it saves a heap of painful chafing. 👍👍👍👍😳
Wow, that was sure lucky your friend had a spare water pump.
Just love tuning in to your programs. Thank you.
Another inspiring video.... Just got back from a 3 month 8300 mile 19 state trip !....met a lot of great people from all walks of life and saw a lot of beautiful scenery !!!!...A little harder finding camp sites but they are out there...thanks again for in inspiration✌
You might think Ronny was a bit over the top for carrying a spare water pump, I also do and you can buy kits to rebuild those shurflo pumps if the electric part of the pump is still working, but won't pump water. The kits aren't expensive and don't take up much room. One discovers quickly how much of a key element water is, when you have NONE! All the generators in the world won't replace that simple water pump😄
We actually helped our friends one year with an extra water pump we had. Always feels good to help someone in need! Love the way you Love my favorite things! Aka…. Tetons, fall and lower crowds
I’m always amazed at the beauty of our country. Also amazing at how few people hike the trails.
Sorry to hear about your loss I know how that feels lost my dad in 14 so I no how it feels just remember them doing the one thing that they absolutely loved doing and burn them into your mind that way so whenever you think of them that's how you remember them so sorry to hear about your loss 😎🤠
Very beautiful! I am camping vicariously through you. Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful landscape. I could feel the peace....beautiful.
My favorite spot in this country!
My husband always carries a spare. Not a genius, just experienced! Been there!
Loved the peaceful sound of the trembling aspen footage. Thanks for sharing!
After Labor Day when the crush of Summer visitors heads home, a peaceful solitude once again returns to higher elevation National Parks and campgrounds. You perfectly captured that returned serenity and how I feel when Winter says it’s time to leave.
We were in the area while you were there. We want to thank you for the Bozman tip. Got there after a week in Glacier. Hot springs & the camp grounds were the best. Note, we took hwy 2 across from Wisconsin. Locals call it "the high line". If you want rural America this is the place.
A tip.... we had same issue and could not find a RV supply store.
We bought a water pump at a nearby Tractor Supply and it works great. Farmers uses them for their sprayers.
Thank you so much for this beautiful video. It is an inspiration for me to be able to share in your adventures!
Sean,
The timing of this video was perfect for us. We are heading out again next week, and you are the 2nd person to recommend that I buy a spare RV Water Pump Revolution ... so I did! THX!!!
Also ... I'm the guy from Oregon (in the Allegro Red coach) that was right across from you guys a couple of years ago in Gros Ventre, with the extra water jugs. If I could recommend in addition to that video, getting yourself a Harbor Freight "Battery Operated Liquid Transfer Pump" ($9.99) to pump water fro your water container into your fresh water tank. As you point out, the jugs get heavy, and these little "D cell" pumps make the job so much easier. I also have a 2nd transfer pump that I use for my DEF.
Like you two, Gros Ventre is one of our favorite campgrounds ... not for everyone ... but great for seeing moose in camp!
Loved the video and music from your hike. Bummer about your water pump, but lucky you having a smart friends like Airstream Nuts & Bolts. We carry a spare based on a similar experience back in our cab-over camper days.
Amazing coincidence! I was staying in Jackson Hole and my Airstream water pump also went out on Monday 9.20.21. I had a six hour drive that day since I planned to meet friends that evening in the Big Horn Mountains and had to leave in order to meet them on time. Fortunately, I was staying at the the Virginian RV Park and asked the manager where he recommended I could get a new water pump installed. This gentleman said he had one and could install the pump right away. He did and I was on the road in less than 30 minutes!!! He saved my day. Needless to say I couldn't thank him enough and I just purchased a spare water pump that I now keep as a spare in my trailer.
Put that one in your Hall of Fame a very beautiful and amazing video thanks for sharing. Always appreciate the advice and the lessons you’ve learned.
Yep carry spares of everything you can. I replaced my water pump with a quieter and better pump. I saved the old pump for emergency replacement if ever needed. In the. Mean time I put on fittings so I can transfer water quickly from spare water container into FW tank on RV. Works great.
_LMAO on the horses' ass joke! Watch out for those bears, they might be looking for your berries!_
Could be worse, the squirrels could be after his nuts!
@@seannewton8386 right lol
The good news was you got blue sky's. That's a plus before more smoke come that way. The autumn colors is so beautiful. I need to visit the area around that time. Hopefully, 2024. I still want to visit Yellowstone or Teton in the winter time. That would be a treat. But it cost more money to do that.
10:41 that random bar of soap though? 😂
You guys are awesome. thanks. Bear spray for sure. The bridge scene is gold.
Ronnie is Da Man!.. Two is one and one is none.
Thanks for adding our photo of us at the end That was awesome!
Great video! I am looking forward to exploring that area next year.
It was so great meeting you at Gros Ventre a couple of weeks ago (I’m the lady from Puerto Rico). Glad you had a great time. Thanking the campground hosts was a nice touch. They deserve it.
Spare parts are always handy. Great video, thanks for sharing!!
