Way to go Jerry! Sometimes on projects when my patience is wearing thin,I have to step away and watch a you tube vid! Which is exactly what I am doing now!! 👍👍
Thanks. Great that I can give you a few minutes of relief. I had to step away from this one a couple of times. Sometimes best laid plans still have those forks in the road. But, this baby is done!
Definitely a awesome way to stay cozy and keep the chill down when saving propane too! Great repair with great results Jerry! Love how sometimes we just have to modify with newer model appliances! Y'all stay warm now ya hear!! Be blessed Jerry and Joan!
Thanks Jerry, for making this video! Our greystone went out from last winter running it almost 24/7 and being parked in a place with negative degree wind chill! Murphy loves RVs for sure!
Glad we could share Chrissy. These units are very convenient. Use ours all the time. Had hoped it would be a direct replacement. It fit the space, but had to change the bracket.
* it is interesting seeing what the fireplace is all about............we really look forward towards having an RV with one in it.................................for now.........we have to watch "fireplace" on TH-cam.........love your spirit*
We love RV life too Jerry. Sold out and went fulltime RV and actually love it. I figured at home I only used 4 rooms in that 3500sf house, bathroom kitchen living room bedroom, lol, so we got a 41' Montana MS and man we have has some problems the dealer doesn't care to address...like water pump failed and flooded the basement. I put a shut off feeding it for now, the DVD players never worked, the hot water electric didn't work and the friggin oven doesn't work properly. The water heater issue was frightening. The junction box in there where the 12vdc relay passed 110vac to the element well the 120vac wired were rambed in there and shorted together. That could have blown this RV to pieces had there been a gas leak too. Brand New Unit man. Have had it 3 months and left many call to service dept where we purchased it. Not 1 Return Call. Not 1. Can't figure out how to ad a photo of the burnout...
Depends on the model. Some lift up from the bottom and gently pull the top to release from the mounting bracket. Others need to be unbolted from the back.
There's is a large space and we do use it. We keep a Buddy Mr. Heater there for the very cold months and a few other large items. Easy access when needed.
These units run in various sizes depending on your RV manufacturer. I bought our replacement at etrailer. Here’s a link and there should be a size to fit your needs. www.etrailer.com/s.aspx?qry=RV+Fireplaces&furl=-pg-RV_Fireplaces
Jerry, at the front of the video you had mentioned that the fire place was more or less like a space heater. Personally, my self, I don't like space heaters they are very dangerous. I've seen first hand what a space heater can do. To make a long story short, I worked for our City Fire Dept. 10 years and was first on scene one day were a guy had a space heater on in his house and left with 4 animals in side. One of his dogs knocked over the space heater and burnt his house all the way down killing all of his animals inside, it was sad. However, on a more positive note you did a great job replacing the fire place. It looked nice. Can I call you if I ever need one replaced? lol j/k.
Ty, I agree with you 100%. We never leave the heater unattended. I'm sure we can work something out when its time to replace yours! Now that I have this one done, the next should be a little easier. Hoping on my end, this fellow will last a little while.
There are 3 type of fiberboard. LDF (low Density), MDF (medium density) HDF (High Density). Each density is priced accordingly per use and perceived value of the producer of the end product.
Hi John. Didn’t come with one and thought about creating one. It was an odd install. The trim wasn’t even left or right, plus the gutter at the bottom. Then the outer flange had to fit within an eight of an inch next to the trim. It was just an odd install. Sure would have been nice if the old bracket would have worked.
Well good video I had sort the same issue with exact replacement . I bought a slide motor for my jayco trailer using same model # same brand of motor well when received and started to install the ( exact replacement) it had a different gear and didn’t work after calling jayco and fussing they told well it just happened they decided to change manufacturers on gear assembly half through the year so I was forced to then buy the whole new gear assembly how nice of them 👎
You titled this "electric fireplace repair" but you aren't repairing, you are replacing it. This is very misleading to someone looking to repair, not replace.

Murphy always shows up when least expected. Good Job Jerry.
Thanks. Yes he does and he’s a stinker!

Great job. Cool weather is right around the corner. Got to love those easy repairs . Lol. Hope you guys are doing well.
Thanks John. We are well. It will be a nice add this fall in the mountains.
Hey Jerry, watching the video and kept wanting to jump in and give you a hand!
Man I needed it! This one was a bit of a stinker.

Thanks. Now that's a option!
@@iLoveRVlife We like the aquarium also....well at least I do.......

The Murphy's Law of RV life will tax ones patience you did a good job.

Sorry yo hear of the problems. Contact the manufacturer. Push hard to have the faults corrected.
Jerry, how do you remove the fireplace for repairs
Depends on the model. Some lift up from the bottom and gently pull the top to release from the mounting bracket. Others need to be unbolted from the back.
Etrailer has been of one my go to for several years.
They carry the hard to find stuff. Heavy duty package shipping. Impressed with these folks.
There seemed to be significant storage space behind the unit. Is there any way to take advantage of it?
There's is a large space and we do use it. We keep a Buddy Mr. Heater there for the very cold months and a few other large items. Easy access when needed.
it's not just RV projects that can be like that ;-)
So true.
any chance you have the model name and number of the one you installed?

@@iLoveRVlife lol...That's nice of you Jerry but I was only funning you. I don't even have a fire place. I just enjoying watching your videos.

Hehehehe nice video, yes, if something can go wrong, it will. Plan for the worst and hope for the best

Thanks for the comment.
Jerry - Would a paper template have helped?
Hi John. Didn’t come with one and thought about creating one. It was an odd install. The trim wasn’t even left or right, plus the gutter at the bottom. Then the outer flange had to fit within an eight of an inch next to the trim. It was just an odd install. Sure would have been nice if the old bracket would have worked.

Wow. I finding out the only standards in RVs are no standards 😏
now explain the fake flames for us ..... looks good.
It creates a fireplace look. It’s ok, not the main reason we us it. Mainly interested in the built-in electric heater. It is pretty though.
You titled this "electric fireplace repair" but you aren't repairing, you are replacing it. This is very misleading to someone looking to repair, not replace.
flyerx agreed
I AGREE!!!! I came here for info on repair……..imagine my surprise. 😡
The title is misleading! Not a repair video, it's an installation video. That's why I disliked it.
Sorry the video wasn’t helpful. Appreciate the clarification.
@@iLoveRVlife wasn’t helpful? You listed it as REPAIR, the word is literally in the title. It’s not a repair - ITS A NEW REPLACE.
Nice install. Definitely not a repair video
Thanks. I got a little carried away on this one.
Maybe change the tile of this video. This is a replacement job NOT a repair job. 🫤
