As a tradesman of 32 yrs. What a pleasure to see someone helping other who may not have the knowledge to make an informed decision. Keep up the great videos
I owned a Class C and one of the first things I did was upgrade the sway bars and it made a world of difference in how it drove. This advice is spot on. It's not terribly expensive to get done and so worth it. An older video on RV with Tito, when they had a C, goes over what is involved in the upgrade.
Excellent video. Thank you! Have a '22 Minnie Winnie 26T with the GE AC. So far, so good -- no issues to date (have owned right at 2 years now). Watching your plumbing videos next (no problems yet but as they say, forewarned is forearmed).
I can attest to the garbage product of the GE air conditioners. My 2023 Reflection TT had the 15k and the 13.5k units. Both failed (lost Freon) within 6 months. Had them replaced (replacement units were manufactured a year after the original ones) and those both failed within 3-6 months as well. I went and replaced them myself at this point with Furrion’s. No issues with those.
Yikes! Yeah my client who had the original go bad, the warranty replacement also went bad and I did the same for him, I installed a Furrion. 4 in a row is really terrible. Let me know how the Furrion treats you!
Thanks for your video. I generally agree with your assessments. As for plumbing, I have had all of these fittings go bad in every combination. Hoses have an advantage over Pex in an RV because hoses are not as rigid as Pex and can soak up the vibratons from the road. Hoses are 100% easier to run. The problem is that they are using the incorrect fittings and clamps with hoses. My solution is to never use city water pressure except to fill my freshwater tank and only use my pump to deliver water to my RV plumbing fixtures. I also never winterize... instead I go to warmer places.
I love watching your videos. I own a Cedar Creek 5th wheel and have been living full time in it for 4 years travelling about 10,000 miles per year. After watching your first video I went through everything and checked the plumbing and found it to be done properly. I would be interested in seeing your review of this brand.
Check behind the water panel in the basement, that is the only place I've see it on a Cedar Creek which unfortunately included the water heater, which unfortunately is the most at risk connection. The heat can make the flex hose pop off the fitting on the water heater and flood your rv.
You should also score the quality of cabinet construction. Nailed or screwed. Stick and frame nailed together is akin to mdf countertops. Cheap construction.
Thanks for another excellent informative video. So far (after 3 seasons) we have had no problem with our GE air conditioning on a 22' coach travel trailer.
I'd appreciate seeing some Class B reviews, as they seem disproportionately expensive and fraught with issues. Particularly with Winnebago, there's a prevailing notion that their pricing exceeds the value offered, often justified by claims of superior quality. However, I'm inclined to think otherwise, given the recurring reports of issues and the apparent disconnect between cost and performance. By the way, this is one of the best channels I subscribe to. I will be purchasing your classes soon. Keep up the great work.
My 2021 Micro Minnie 2306BHS had the GE AC replaced under warranty. I just replaced it again this time with a Dometic. The second GE wasn’t two years old.
Rigor RV Repare, you freaking rock man! tytyty for your content! Information packed delivered well. glhf my friend and fam and once again ty for your hard work and dedication sir!!!
Almost every travel trailer I've looked at lately has flex hose and a pinch clamp on this toilet connection. A lot have pex going to the sinks. Wonder why they do this on the toilet supply line only? I asked a highly rated and certified Inspector in my area and he said "yea they do that." Said nothing about it being incorrect and not up to code. I said "Don't those fittings leak?" And he said, "sometimes they do." That was it. Hmmm
Biggest upgrade I made to my 2005 Jayco Granite Ridge was bigger, beefier stabilizers on front and rear. It was already 17 years old when we got it and it wallowed down the road like a drunk whale.
Please look at the bumper pull Voyage line. Many (ALL) of them have substantial plumbing leaks (I’ve repexed all but about 5ft of my 2020 (Q3-2019 build). Then the drains for sinks, showers all leak. The tank valves leak because they’re installed poorly. Bunkhouse models have significant slide issues. Good floor plan on my 2427 though.
I have just replaced both of my ge ac units under warranty. Good news is that ge was very responsive and shipped out 2 new ones quickly and now I have 2 new ac units under warranty again 🤪🤪🤪🤪
I bought a 2015 28 ft class C Minnie Winnie. I sold it 7 years later. The Ford E450 chassis was pretty good. Mostly good quality. However, the couch part had a lot of quality issues. I've heard that the quality of RVs has continued to go downhill. I will never buy another RV again.
I think I will just start going to the end of your videos to skip all the 6 to 10 minutes of advertising...... Initially I enjoyed the knowledge content your videos had. Now it is one huge commercial with little actual content about what you label the video. I think you managed 90 seconds of content in this video. Maybe I am being too generous.
