So I have a pop tent trailer and I can’t figure out how to get my water to come out of the toilet I don’t have one like yours it’s the manual one but I think it’s clogged up or something because we have used it for a couple years and no problems now no water comes out when we turn it please help if you know
Thank you! This is one of your best pop-up camper info videos of all. Your explanations are thorough, yet simple enough that most beginners should be able to grasp all of the basics. On top of that, you answered several important questions I have had about generators, operating air conditioners, and the whole part about converters, inverters, and how to utilize the 12-volt system when off-grid. Thanks again!
Insurance, Apple tag, and blink cameras which records and sends video to cloud storage with a nice sign that says smile you are on camera which you can’t miss when you approach hitch and inside the entry door
I have that same popup and I can’t get the water from the holding tank to work. I can hear the pump but no water. It’s like needs to be primed somehow? City water connection works perfectly fine
Great video! However, you can gain much greater access to the holding tank for cleaning and inspection by removing the larger tank cover. The square slide cover is within a larger round cover. The larger cover can be removed also. If you look CLOSELY around the seam of the larger round cover, you'll find a small triangle pointer. It points at a circle on the tank. Counterclockwise from that circle, you'll find a circle in a circle, two circles. If you turn the large cover counterclockwise until the triangle pointer, points to the double circles, the entire larger cover can be removed. It requires some force to turn the larger cover so the pointer, points at the double circles, because it seals against the tank very well. You'll be able to see inside the tank easily AND you'll be able to clean and check the magnetics on the float which indicated when the tank is full!
I use mine at a lake property, so it rarely moves. I took two steel trailer wheels, without tires, and had three pieces steel welded onto the wheel to make it sort of a jack-stand. I bolt the wheel to the axle in place of tires, and it is stable and secure. I don't have to worry about the tires going flat and nobody is going to steal it without removing the stands and putting on tires.
Enjoy all of your videos. Just an idea would like to see perhaps a video that would cover information about selling your pop-up camper to a prospective buyer
Headlamps are great for setting up in the dark because the light is directed wherever your face is pointing toward....and your hands are free to work with. With LED lights, they can be bright and yet the batteries last a long time.
Agh! My pop-up's Dometic fridge doesn't have any controls accessible from outside! I really wish it did, but I essentially have to raise my roof to get to the controls.
I just followed your exact method for cleaning my outside vinyl (I think for the first time ever) on my 1989 Coleman Sun Valley. I only had time to do one side but WOW, what a difference. It helped me realize how dirty it was. The Protect All was a great way to finish it. Thanks for making all the great videos!
Your video has been so helpful for me on my "new to me" popup camper. I started with the interior canvas that had a serious mold issue on each end . I used the Starbrite product you referenced and was amazed at the results and how easy it was. Today, I am working on the exterior vinyl. I have a feeling the vinyl had never been cleaned. Again, I used the degreaser that you mentioned and the magic eraser. Again, I was so surprised how easy it was to clean. My next step is to apply the Protectall, it's going to look as good as new when I'm done! Thank you so much for making this video, I had absolutely no idea how to start the process of cleaning the canvas and vinyl on my pop-up camper.
Indoor lights don't work? You may have a safety button that engages when you flip the sink. You can make the yellowed plastic look new using a process with 12% peroxide cream.
How well dose the heater work? That is to ask for example how cold can it be outside and still maintain say 70 degrees inside the camper. Also I see it has a blower. How long will the battery last? Thanks!
Do you happen to have the owners manual in pdf? Do you know where I can download it? I just bought the same camper and cant find it online at all. Asked Jayco customer service by email and completely ignored (but to include me in their email marketing list of course they were fast)
Great helpful videos. You might want to mention in many locations that you shouldn't drain any antifreeze or bleach solutions into storm drains as they often go into fish bearing streams etc. and this will result in significant stream habitat damage. Its a hassle but it needs to go into a septic or city drainage system from a grey storage.
I am VERY new at camping and just purchased a like new 2013 Forest River Flagstaff pop up. The electrical system is concerning me because, even with the 30 amp shore power plugged in to my house with a 15amp adapter, the wall socket works fine, but neither the overhead lights or the ceiling exhaust fan work. I have a 110 volt fan plugged in the wall socket and it works immediately. I checked the breakers, the cord, the adapter, but no fan or lights. Then, all the sudden after about 20 minutes I tried them again, and now they work. Can anyone tell me if this is normal, or is something amiss? Thank you very your time!
The LED strip looks great! There are awning LED strip kits that for about $50 that are better suited for a camper. They include a C-channel & 3M adhesive strips that grips to the side of the camper. The LED strip itself is encased in a silicone sleeve to make it waterproof which then locks into the C-channel. It comes with a RF remote (rather than infrared) so the remote can be anywhere to change the color. You don't to line of sight to the controller.
I just got my first pop up (a 1989 Coleman Sun Valley) and I just wanted to let you know like so many others that your videos are my go to for everything. I just finished the sanitization process for the water tanks! Keep em coming and I'll be watching every single one!
Very nice thank you . I have an older StarCraft popup with the circle holder for the flush. Is the water supposed to work for the toilet just being hooked up to the campsite water hose? Or do I need to have the electric pump on which I thought was supposed to be used for the water holding tank? I don’t have water running when I twist the circle.
Hey, great vid any thoughts on why the same model electric flush will not work? I changed the fuses and they are good to go, does the campers water pump need to be on or does the cassette toilet have its own individual pump that could be malfunctioning? Would there be any other switches that I am missing?
Did you ever made the video about the cooler roll up mod? I am buying that popup tomorrow and will love to do that mod but I have no idea about the door, etc
@@ItsPoppincan you please tell me what’s the size of the door? 16 x16? I’m trying to buy one. That same cooler nobody have it for sale anymore, I hope I can fine something similar but I have no idea about the door
Sorry I misunderstood your comment. We did finish the mod and you’re correct, that cooler is discontinued. We bought the door off of eBay so it may also be not available. I would size the door to your specific cooler if you’re looking to do the same.
So it’s been like a year where is the new videos out man are you hiding from the rest the world did you give up on us people to camp and follow you for your advice and seek new products you have to recommend where is to do videos, come on man
Why even bother coming to fit just measure cut it the lengths that you need and then put it in there and zip it up get up it doesn't have to be so detailed be so detailed
At what age does the butyl tape generally need to be replaced? I think you said that yours was a 2008 Jayco. We just bought a 2017 Jayco, and I think it will need caulking this year, but not sure if I need to do the butyl tape. Thanks.
