After looking for the problem with our trailer brakes on our Grand Design Momentum we finally found the issue. Simple clips that hold and retain the wires failed and shorted out the breaks every so often.
Our new Splendide Washer kept throwing an error code only to find out that its motherboard needed to be replaced.
We really enjoyed San Marcos and all that it has to offer. We will definitely return to experience more. #GrandDesignMomentum

Amazing video guys... I Love You guys videos... I just want to share with you some info; Our family is shooting our first video for our You Tube vlog today. We were inspired by you guys. And we are taking Todd's advice and just starting. No, we don't have the perfect camera set-up yet, but we are starting. We owe it all to you guys. We don't know if we are going to do everything or anything right, but we are going to try. Our family adventure is starting on the fact, that our father had an accident at work and lost part of his brain, from head trauma. We realized that people only live so long, so why not make the next part of his life memorable. He lost over a decade of memories and now we are replacing them. Sorry this is so long. We just thought you should know, you have touched our family. If God put you guys out there to make a difference, then you have. Our family is grateful. You guys do a great job of showing little bits of your lives with us and we love it. We only hope we can do the same for others. Thank you and keep up the amazing work..... P.S. We are happy you guys got the brakes fixed on the 5th wheel...

@SwitchItUpLife 3 года назад

Wow Michael that just totally made our whole journey so far worthwhile. Congratulations on taking the jump to just get started and replacing memories for Dad means double the memories for you! Looking forward to seeing how your adventures go. Take care and thanks for the amazing words of encouragement we appreciated it.

New t shirt slogan "SNACKS". So happy the wire issue is repaired & kudos to that young man who did the repair. Awesome video with so much valuable info. We just did a ride on our Goldwing & went thru "Hell Hole" near Jamestown, SC. Yes, we are now the "old people". We still have a VTX 1800 and a Hayabusa , but we take the Goldwing out cause we're "seasoned". One question, have you named the RV? Is it Penny or Lucky Penny? Thank you for sharing!

Just don't find the the boars with babies they would charge...you always think your videos are not that good or interesting let me say you are wrong! Keep the real life videos coming please! Looks Like a nice ride! At the end of the next two weeks my husband will be a certified RV Technician. He is completing the RVIA 10 week school program. Nice you found the wire...let's hope that is the fix this time. The more you splice the more resistance you will get which means more interruptions!

@sharir1679 3 года назад

I think all washers have a little water in the pump. That's why they need to be winterized which you can run RV antifreeze thru them if you can't get to the pump to drain it. I have done that for years and it works fine. Course before you do a load of clothes the next spring you have to run a load of soapy water through the machine first. :)

Hopefully it’s covered by warranty. We have a brand new Momentum 395MS and haven’t been able to use it. Came with a bad hydraulic pump from the factory that wasn’t discovered on the PDI. Going on 2 months and waiting for a new pump from GD. We bought based on GD’s great customer service. I can’t imagine what not great customer service would be like. Glad your trailer is fixed and you’re able to use yours. 😊

Fun watch. We have a Splendide also. Got down to 10F the other day. Our coach is in a covered outdoor storage. The manual says to pour some RV antifreeze in the drum and run the spin cycle to allow the pump to flush the water out of the pump and fill with antifreeze. This is what I did. I sure hope it worked. Our model looks different than yours, but I will look for that drain for the pump in the front. I don't believe I have that. We have a Class A, so our access to the unit is limited.
