I always enjoy your how to videos. Some years ago, I lived in China. It was a real eye opener for me to realize that most middle class people there didn't have refrigerators. They just shopped for groceries every day or two. Fridges are convenient, but not a necessity.
FAUCET PROBLEMS Hi Eric, My name is David and I am a master plumber here in Salem Massachusetts. I've been plumbing for 40 years. I can tell you why your first faucet started leaking from the base. The O-rings at the base are rated to keep the water sealed in the spout until it gets out the end. When you put a flow restrictor like a .5 gallon per minute on the end of the spout you create back pressure internally in the faucet and the O-rings can't hold the pressure and the base starts to leak. It's the same problem when someone screws on a filter on the end of the faucet. It creates back pressure and blows the seals. I hate to say it but if you want a faucet that doesn't leak you need to put the original aerator on the faucet and watch your water flow.
My husband replaced our sink faucet this summer and we bought a regular delta faucet. Ours was a single unit and in the "spare" hole we put a detergent pump. Fits perfectly and works well. We did need to buy a fixture to hook the water tubing together but Lowe's sell the coupling and so we now have a real, non-RV faucet. We love it. And I love Morgans hair !
We had our fridge go out in our RV last year, which definately affected our trip budget! We managed to buy a take out for a grand. What we did before we replaced the fridge, was we filled our bins with ice, and cooled our food that way. It was a pain to replace the ice all the time but the fridge was pretty well insulated, and larger than a cooler! Might try that rather than buying a cooler. Just a thought... best of luck Eric and Morgan!
Absorbsution refrigs. use the principal of heat rising to work. They are filled with ammonia chloride gas/liquid. If one of the lines get plugged the system stops working. Sometimes they can be restarted by turning the box upside down. This lets the dirt that plugged the line to fall. Problem is the dirt is still inside the system. This is the reason these friges have to be level. If you defrost them wrong they will also spring a leak in its coil/line. I personally would not let a dealer do a check up/estimate. You'll be just throwing your money away. They don't use the estimate money to fix the problem. NO FREE ESTIMATES AT THE DEALERS !! If you have heat from propane or electric and the unit is not cooling you've got your answer. Replace the cooling /absorb.pipes.
Check out FORD'S RV REFRIGERATION they have you tube video's specifically for troubleshooting your fridge. They helped me a great deal. Some of the remarks below are inaccurate.
Morgan you and Eric are good for each other please don't listen to all of the jerks that don't matter in the world. Just enjoy the time you and Eric spend together that's what life's about. If you find LOVE it makes it so much better.
Ok... first things first, HI MORGAN!! Maybe I'm weird but I love the mods, repairs and upkeep part of your channel. That faucet went in a lot easier than I thought. Replacing the one in my kitchen was a nightmare. So... on the fridge... one advantage to the fridge crash is that now you are forced to eat fresh food. Gotta find the positive in the negative ;)
Bet the kayak break was good for the soul and your perspective. Fridges needing replacing, AC or heat going out, and the list goes on and on, are all part of the plight of the homeowner, whether its a home on wheels or a stick-and-brick. Emergency funds are a must, and life goes on after, all this will be past soon enough. Glad to see you and Morgan smiling and enjoying time together. Rock on!
When I saw Morgan's hair color, I had to go back a few videos to make sure that wasn't the color it's been the whole time. I think the new color looks very natural on her, which is why I had to go back and double check, LOL. Safe travels!
Hi Eric, Morgan's hair looks great. I just spent some time reading the replies. Looks like a great place to get great ideas. Good luck with the fridge.
Another great video and Morgan looks cute, as in the past, with her hair colored. Just read a bunch of great suggestions down below....you got some time to try them out before your appointment, maybe they'll work. Nice ending of the video enjoying time with your pets while watching TV, or movie.
Long ago I was in the RV business, I'm sure things have changed since then. We used to take the fridge out rotate it 360 degrees to burp it then they worked fine. But like I say it was some 35 years ago. If that didn't work they just replaced the cooling unit on the back side of the fridge.
Soup, peanut butter sandwiches, canned veggies and beans, fruit, and pasta. No need for a fridge for those things. That's what I had to do when my fridge crapped out. Those damn things are sooooo expensive. I feel your pain, dude.
Love your original videos..but have to admit the newer videos with you & Morgan with the pets are awesome!! Love the new changes going on in your life right now!! Happy future travels & adventures to your new extended family!!! Keep those videos coming!! Happy Holidays! Keeping fingers crossed on your fridge situation too!!! P.S. Love Morgans pink hair!!!!
With you there, ours went out a couple weeks ago and it is what it is. We are not currently full-timing so not a big deal for us and we have an outside refrigerator that works well as a backup. If you are going to be staying in parks anyways for the next period of time - why not buy one of the plug in coolers, you can pick one up for a $100+/- and it would give you more options, will run from a cigarette lighter or plug and you could run it from your gen.. just a thought.. In the grand scheme of things your all healthy and seeing great things in a year from now this will just seem like a bump in the road...
When this same issue happened to me I purchased two coolers one for long term ( I used dry ice for this cooler) dry ice can last a long time as long as you keep the cooler closed and open only when needed the other cooler for daily use.
I don't think I would have been in a plastic boat with all the gators in Florida... I loved watching about how to changed out the faucet you make is look so easy... I would call another RV place to see about getting your fridge worked on, mine was giving off an gases smell and I had it looked at for $80 and I don't know what happen but we just took it out this past month and no smells this time...
so happy to see you got to hang out at Ocean Pond - that is such an awesome free area as well as the state forest area. Wishing you the best of luck with the Fridge thing!
Eric there are no replaceable parts in your fridge except for the 110v element, gas valve & orfice and the control board. They are working or you wouldn't have fire or heat. You will have to either replace the cooling unit or the whole fridge. Like I said before I have been through this before and you need to go to ARP and get their board. They also sell the cooling units. We purchased a different RV this spring and I installed an ARP board in it right away. In old class C I installed that same faucet because our old one was leaking like yours. I thought that was kind of funny we ended up with the same one.
Well He said he makes just as much doing what He does than He would working a full time job. If He can afford Disney World than he can afford whatever that needs to be fixed.
Next time you mess with the sink faucet to keep the water from leaking when you unhook the lines just open up the hot and cold on the tub. It is lower and will drain the water from higher water lines. Be sure to have the hot and cold open on the sink also.
Hi Eric: Dometicc had a recall of some refrigerators. Check and see if your was recalled. You will need the model number and serial number. The recall information can be found on the the Dometic Website. It sounds like you have had an ammonia leak in your cooling system. The fact that your flew is getting hot tells me your motherboard is working and that it is sending a signal to the burner to turn on. When the burner is running the refrigerator will cool if there is ammonia in the system. Look for yellow residue on the cooling tubes.
Sorry to her about the fridge but its always something that's life, looks like you guys are having fun that is what's important. be safe Barb and Joe in Tennessee.....
I'm sure others have mentioned this, but you can get a cooler style 12v fridge. Looks like a cooler but plugs in. My hubby is a truck driver and used one for years when he was long haul. They're about $90 at a truck stop, usually cheaper at Walmart. Do that to get you by. Makes way more sense then the whole ice trick. Just some friendly advice.
Eric check the vent on the refrigerator and make sure it's clear if it's plug the heat from the flame are heating element won't travel up through the vent and which is what makes the refrigerator cool.
Hey Eric, hope you show us show us how you did the wall between the kitchen and bedroom and what it looks like. Ziggy looks happy and content; Jax not so much. Great vid!
Opening the low point drains after bleeding off the water pressure in the lines at the faucet will also remove A LOT of residual water in the lines before you crack them loose.
What I would do is go to WalMart and buy a $120 fridge and use that until you get your other one fixed. Keep your receipt and return once done. You can use electric or your generator or if your converter can power it... there you go! 8)
Eric you might go underneath and unscrew the hot and cold mains and add some plumbers tape, then reattach the hoses, reason being that the connections expand and contract over time creating leaks in the future, the plumbers tape will ensure a good deal for a long time
Damn Dude. You have a RV. Buy two coolers, Keep one cooler full of whole bags of ice. When the food cooler needs more ice, take a bag out of the other cooler and add to the food cooler. Since you don't go in and out of the ice cooler the whole bags of ice will melt some but they will last for several days. I know its a hassle but it will get you buy until you can get the fridge fixed.
Why don't you get dry ice for your cooler? It's a bit more expensive but it lasts a lot longer than regular ice and doesn't make a mess in the cooler as it evaporates.
Yo Eric, a regular Josephine the Plumber! Good job buddy. Like the country music and the kayak and the brewski. Shoulda dropped a fishing line in from the drone, makes for great entertainment. Ok catch you guys later.
And unrefrigerated chicken is full of salmonella, ever read the label on that stuff?? Ever tried cooking without a refrigerator? I'm sure someone has a canned non-gmo, organic, no preservative, no nothing type of canned chicken also. Or, leave out the chicken and get no salt tomatoes and live happily ever after :)
Been there, my Fridge quit working on me. And we were planning on taking the RV out the next day, so we had to drive 6 hours total each way, for Forest River could replace it. Not a fun day, I was just glad the Fridge was still under warr.
While your at camp disconnect shore power, and positive side of house batteries for 5 min then reattach. Don't know anything about the motherboard on a fridge, but it might work.
Sounds like your looking at another cooler, ice, staying at higher end campgrounds (more money), labor for diagnosis, then labor for repair + parts, and finally the cost of being out of your motor home for a few days. Do a quick calculation, you may be over half the price of a new frig before it's done, and still have potential problems ahead. obviously it would be great if you did the work yourself, but even with that you'd be stuck in one place for an extended time. I know you have travel plans too.
If you go with the ice route, get some dry ice and mix it with reg ice. It will keep colder a lot longer. And if the Reefridge compressor kicks on and off but not cooling it might be low on Freon.
I said this before when you the transmission trouble, you need to set aside an emergency fund. Bare minimum, I'd have $3000.00 squirreled away to be used only for emergency($5000.00 would be better). That way, you'd be able to take care of things breaking without much trouble.
since your videos come out days after you move to new spots, your fridge is fixed, or you have a replacement, good job nice new big screen tv and kayak
Just want to say thanks for sharing your journey with us. After watching your video another video with some awkward old troll was talking about you. Out of curiosity I clicked to see his video content and he is clearly obsessed with you and doesn't have anything interesting to share. Extremely strange. Ignore these people. Blessings to you and your travels.
Hi Eric, Putting a bit of petroleum jelly on the water faucet stem rubber "O" rings is a good idea to keep them from leaking and lubricated for turning the faucet head in either direction. Just my 2 cents. Wow that kayak inflates fast! Keep the faith! -Jon
Loving the purple hair. It fits Morgan well.
Wish I could wear purple hair to work. lol
Eric - you're a homeowner. Things will break & it's life. Grin & bear it - move forward. :) Hi Jax, Hi Morgan & Zig.
Absolutely!
Love the last scene! You are lucky the pets get along! Another great video.
I always enjoy your how to videos. Some years ago, I lived in China. It was a real eye opener for me to realize that most middle class people there didn't have refrigerators. They just shopped for groceries every day or two. Fridges are convenient, but not a necessity.
FAUCET PROBLEMS
Hi Eric, My name is David and I am a master plumber here in Salem Massachusetts. I've been plumbing for 40 years. I can tell you why your first faucet started leaking from the base. The O-rings at the base are rated to keep the water sealed in the spout until it gets out the end. When you put a flow restrictor like a .5 gallon per minute on the end of the spout you create back pressure internally in the faucet and the O-rings can't hold the pressure and the base starts to leak. It's the same problem when someone screws on a filter on the end of the faucet. It creates back pressure and blows the seals. I hate to say it but if you want a faucet that doesn't leak you need to put the original aerator on the faucet and watch your water flow.
you sure made changing out that faucet look easy! and such a gentleman, holding Morgan 's chair!
My husband replaced our sink faucet this summer and we bought a regular delta faucet. Ours was a single unit and in the "spare" hole we put a detergent pump. Fits perfectly and works well. We did need to buy a fixture to hook the water tubing together but Lowe's sell the coupling and so we now have a real, non-RV faucet. We love it. And I love Morgans hair !

this man knows his stuff.
Check out FORD'S RV REFRIGERATION they have you tube video's specifically for troubleshooting your fridge. They helped me a great deal. Some of the remarks below are inaccurate.
I logged into TH-cam to look something up and went "oh new video!" and now have totally forgotten what I came here for. :D
Didn't you just pick up a cooler? Or is this a hint to the views?
I gotta say...love the new purple hair on Morgan. :)
Morgan you and Eric are good for each other please don't listen to all of the jerks that don't matter in the world. Just enjoy the time you and Eric spend together that's what life's about. If you find LOVE it makes it so much better.
Ok... first things first,

I like the touch of th Christmas tree
that kayak ride looked fun. great video remember not to take life too seriously!
great job. happy travels
Oh forgot to say. That new faucet looks awesome!
I love the purple hair, and its very in. Ive seen many ladies with purple hair, but many can't pull it off. Morgan does. Looks great!
santa paws jax and his side kick ziggy ^-^ very nice !
Another great video! Love Morgan's new color!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Good luck with fridge.
take some cheaper advice, call a mobile rv mechanic, a hundred bucks and an hour and you will have your answer
yeah usually those guys are good, compared to shops where they hire high school kids to work on your vehicle for 100x the cost.
YES!!
In Swedish we say ‘lycka till’ (good luck) with your fridge!
And Morgan.... we LOVE your hair color!!!
thanks again for the vid.
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
The faucet install. Too smooove. Nothing leaked. Yay!
That faucet replacement went way easier than you expected. Lucky.
Morgan looks good with purple hair, but I think I liked the pink better.
Shorts and a campfire. This my kind of living. Cheers.
When I saw Morgan's hair color, I had to go back a few videos to make sure that wasn't the color it's been the whole time. I think the new color looks very natural on her, which is why I had to go back and double check, LOL. Safe travels!

holy crap!!! she went full SMURF on ya there laddy boy!!!
Your sink video inspirers me to tackle a similar job. Thx.
Hey Eric way to go on the faucet getting fixed man that is awesome
Another great video and Morgan looks cute, as in the past, with her hair colored.

Let me add turn to right side then upside down then to side and to right side up as I recall

brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! you never cease to amaze us Mr Nomadic Fanatic awesome video hope all is well

Walmart - Igloo Iceless 40-qt Cooler $89.56 .better than dealing with ice.. just saying...
I love the Christmas hats on everyone!
Good luck guys - I hope you find a good and inexpensive repair.
Great job on the repairs. Loving Morgan's hair color. Your Christmas photos are going to be awesome.
When this same issue happened to me I purchased two coolers one for long term ( I used dry ice for this cooler) dry ice can last a long time as long as you keep the cooler closed and open only when needed the other cooler for daily use.

You should be fine getting Your fridge fixed. You make enough money on TH-cam and You should always have emergency funds for things like this.
Well He said he makes just as much doing what He does than He would working a full time job. If He can afford Disney World than he can afford whatever that needs to be fixed.
The flow reducer can help attribute to the leaks you were seeing, by increasing the back pressure
Next time you mess with the sink faucet to keep the water from leaking when you unhook the lines just open up the hot and cold on the tub. It is lower and will drain the water from higher water lines. Be sure to have the hot and cold open on the sink also.
Nice color Morgan! Looks really cool.

All good Eric & Morgan & pets have a wonderful Christmas & be safe🙏🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇦🇺
Good replacement on the faucet! If you get a 12v cooler make sure you get a few spare plugs too. Have a good'nnn
Love Morgan's hair !!
haha Jax expression at the very end is .......I tolerate that dog, but I likes the olden days better.........
I'm sure others have mentioned this, but you can get a cooler style 12v fridge. Looks like a cooler but plugs in. My hubby is a truck driver and used one for years when he was long haul. They're about $90 at a truck stop, usually cheaper at Walmart. Do that to get you by. Makes way more sense then the whole ice trick. Just some friendly advice.
We went from Tacoma to Key West and back with an old fashion Ice Box.
inflatable kayak= gator bait...good luck!
That is exactly what I thougt
Walmart has 12 volt coolers.
Eric I bought a portable ice maker from sam,s club fro 89.00 and just recycle the water when the ice melts in my cooler.
I like Morgan's hair color. Looks good on her. Thumbs up.... ENJOY.... THE SIMPLE LIFE
Eric check the vent on the refrigerator and make sure it's clear if it's plug the heat from the flame are heating element won't travel up through the vent and which is what makes the refrigerator cool.
Nice job on the faucet....and good luck with that fridge, hope it's an easy fix.
one ofvthe best videos
I love Morgans hair. I hope it wins.
Get a yeti or one similar .. you don't need 10lbs of ice a day.. I lived out of one in my camper trailer for a year ..
eric, u need a plan b, a 12v fridge for this time is better..than get the new fried for the rv
agree
Why not get a trucker 12volt fridge? Those plug in the accessory outlets, so you can use it with your solar.
Yeah, use the 12V for extra capacity once the rv fridge is fixed, might need extra capacity now that you have 2 in the RV.
I was thinking maybe put an ad on Craigslist for experienced RV repairmen that can help out in the local area that your in.
what about the fridge in the Morgan’s camper Trailer cant you use that for now?
Hey Eric, hope you show us show us how you did the wall between the kitchen and bedroom and what it looks like. Ziggy looks happy and content; Jax not so much. Great vid!
Opening the low point drains after bleeding off the water pressure in the lines at the faucet will also remove A LOT of residual water in the lines before you crack them loose.
Good luck with the fridge !
What I would do is go to WalMart and buy a $120 fridge and use that until you get your other one fixed. Keep your receipt and return once done. You can use electric or your generator or if your converter can power it... there you go! 8)
Eric you might go underneath and unscrew the hot and cold mains and add some plumbers tape, then reattach the hoses, reason being that the connections expand and contract over time creating leaks in the future, the plumbers tape will ensure a good deal for a long time
At the end, Jax did NOT look Happy! HaHaHa! Cheers!
omg smiling so big at the end
Damn Dude. You have a RV. Buy two coolers, Keep one cooler full of whole bags of ice. When the food cooler needs more ice, take a bag out of the other cooler and add to the food cooler. Since you don't go in and out of the ice cooler the whole bags of ice will melt some but they will last for several days. I know its a hassle but it will get you buy until you can get the fridge fixed.
why didn't you just replace the rubber gaskets in the faucet?
What a great time to buy a countertop ice maker
Why don't you get dry ice for your cooler? It's a bit more expensive but it lasts a lot longer than regular ice and doesn't make a mess in the cooler as it evaporates.
Not all coolers can handle the extreme temps from dry ice. They tend to crack from the cold temp, esp the cheap ones.
Wrap the dry ice in thick layers of newspaper.
Yo Eric, a regular Josephine the Plumber! Good job buddy. Like the country music and the kayak and the brewski. Shoulda dropped a fishing line in from the drone, makes for great entertainment. Ok catch you guys later.
jax didn't seem happy sitting on your lap on the end as you made him pose for the camera lol
Canned chicken + canned tomatoes+ beans+rice and lentils+heated= cheap and good.
And unrefrigerated chicken is full of salmonella, ever read the label on that stuff?? Ever tried cooking without a refrigerator? I'm sure someone has a canned non-gmo, organic, no preservative, no nothing type of canned chicken also. Or, leave out the chicken and get no salt tomatoes and live happily ever after :)
Thank you for your calm insight to a simple problem with a simple solution.
What happened to the portable fridge?
Been there, my Fridge quit working on me. And we were planning on taking the RV out the next day, so we had to drive 6 hours total each way, for Forest River could replace it. Not a fun day, I was just glad the Fridge was still under warr.
Why not put ice in a plastic tub in bottom of your fridge till you get it fixed it's made to keep cool air inside already 😎
While your at camp disconnect shore power, and positive side of house batteries for 5 min then reattach.
Don't know anything about the motherboard on a fridge, but it might work.
John Anderson He needs a new cooling unit. They commonly go out on absorption fridges.
pk13910 Probably. But my fridge in 20 years old, and had several fixes, Maybe the older ones last longer than the newer ones.
Eddy red Those things don't exist on an RV absorption fridge. There's no motor, no refrigerant.
Morgan covered her hair looks nice
Sounds like your looking at another cooler, ice, staying at higher end campgrounds (more money), labor for diagnosis, then labor for repair + parts, and finally the cost of being out of your motor home for a few days. Do a quick calculation, you may be over half the price of a new frig before it's done, and still have potential problems ahead. obviously it would be great if you did the work yourself, but even with that you'd be stuck in one place for an extended time. I know you have travel plans too.
Not sure Eric; Florida seems to be a state to avoid. Other than Morgan, of course. Love the Christmas photo scene.
If you go with the ice route, get some dry ice and mix it with reg ice. It will keep colder a lot longer. And if the Reefridge compressor kicks on and off but not cooling it might be low on Freon.

Hi Eric, Putting a bit of petroleum jelly on the water faucet stem rubber "O" rings is a good idea to keep them from leaking and lubricated for turning the faucet head in either direction. Just my 2 cents.
