    That is the most southern sounding child I've ever heard, they brought great joy into my cold Canadian life.

    We have a 2007 pop up with a/c, but there's just a cord from the a/c that stays on the inside and plugs into an interior outlet specifically designated for it.

    great video. I'm going to buy an old pop-up and do the same thing. Thanks.

    Awesome video. Like and subscribed. We actually just purchased a used Popup as well and we are super excited to get it cleaned up and fresh for our new adventures. Looking forward to viewing your content and creating a good camper as well.

      Thanks for watching! Good luck with the camper.

    Much of what you are having to replace is due to storing the pop-up outside, uncovered. I keep ours covered, with a breathable trailer cover I got on eBay, lasts 2-3 years and only cost $45.99 + $17.00 shipping. It really helps! We bought an "03 Coleman Westlake that had sit out all of it's life and was barely used, interior looked new, exterior looked like it was well used, just from sitting out uncovered. All the marker light and the taillight lenses were sun rotted or broken; I replaced the marker lights with LED markers and bought new tail light lenses. Fortunately all the weather seals are in good condition and I haven't had to deal with any of that. Had to replace the inside faucet, the connector plug at the hitch and a lot of little stuff. The biggest item was new tires. Enjoy!

      Good tip. The previous owner definitely stored it outside. I’ll probably be building a carport to store it under

      @@IAmAFixer Here's another tip...check the seams on your canopy bag. On our second outing, we got to our destination and were looking for a camp space, we drove all through one campground and then through another (mainly because we didn't know what we were doing, we saw a lot of empty spaces but they all had Reserved signs on them). What we didn't know was we had lost our canopy going over a speed bump. We drove through one campground and came out the way we went in and my wife sees it alongside the road and says that looks like something off of our trailer! Sure enough, it was! At any rate once one of the threads breaks, they go like a zipper! Like pulling the string on a bag of dog food. I know somebody that had it happen on the freeway! LOL! I took our to a guy that makes boat covers and he sewed it up for $40.00.

    Were did you buy your replacement vinyl trim and your dyecore?

    did you order all the replacement parts from the manufacturer or somewhere else?

    Don't run your ac with that converter. Running everying else on it will but fine but NEVER the ac. You probably already know that but if you didn't I hope this helped you out to not ruin your system

    How much did you buy your camper for? ( if you don’t mind sharing) I just bought one, last night actually) and wonder if I paid too much :-/
    Mine is a 2002 Jayco Eagle Summit pop up camper.
    Thanks so much!

      Right now it's absolutely a seller's market. If you want one of these you have to pay the "pandemic premium".

    • @IAmAFixer
      @IAmAFixer  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I paid $1800 for it. Not sure if I over or underpaid. At the time, most were going for $2500 to $3500. Haven’t checked to see what they’re going for now, but I do know they are up. What about you?

    The music is killing this video, consider omitting it because your videos are instruction videos and informative where the music is an unwanted distraction and makes it difficult to get the full value of what it is you're saying
