all right everyone and good morning eric here from nomadic fanatic
uploading this video with nomad internet after this video link in the video
description if you need some mobile internet
starting my day here at borst or fort borst
park in centralia washington saying goodbye to washington actually
the other day i said goodbye to mom and dad and family and
said it's it's time for new adventures the road is calling
and so um uh i haven't really picked a specific route
although i have to be somewhere in october in the south
so kind of just making up the route as i go
however let's take a brand new route everything from here through
oregon and idaho and salt lake city
colorado let's do some new stuff together guys it's going to be mostly
outdoor stuff because most of the indoor stuff's still going
to be closed around the country it's okay i am not going to sit and
just complain and hate on life for the next few years
i'm gonna live life and share it with you that's my plan yeah
see miranda and jax are safe in the rv let's go walk over to the water so yeah
this is an old uh military fort that has been converted
into a beautiful park here in centralia with some ball fields across the way
also and uh yeah i will certainly miss all
these huge green beautiful evergreen trees
i've never tried to fish out of this lake but there is a sign that says five
fish limit out here at borst lake um that's
promising maybe one year when i come back i'll have to do some fishing
i don't know i'm not much of a fisherman i've never been good at fishing
i keep trying though give me some credit man oh i know
i need to go stop by the uh rv salvage place up there
see if i can get some rv supplies before we hit the road let's go see if uh
they're open during the old piracy thingamajig okay
yeah let me walk around this path get a few more steps
we'll load it on up and get on the road guys don't you give me that look i asked
if you wanted to go for a walk and you said no
said you'd rather eat your food all right
bye boris park it is such a beautiful park here though
nice to get some shade too on a warm day in the summer it's not too warm today
but i tried calling the shop and did not get
an answer i don't know if they're open or closed
there's a low-hanging branch here gonna it's gonna tickle the it's just
tickling the panels just getting all the dust off the panels
yeah yeah but we'll just go drive through and see what's going on they
they may have not reopened i'm not sure another tickler
yeah i heard it i heard it hit everything
oh man it feels really strange leaving washington state
yeah it feels really strange
all right here's our turn oh i see garage doors open that's a good sign
they are open
here we are your favorite rv toy store west coast
rv recycling this place a little unique uh
the guys here uh take old rvs like this one they're working on right
now they completely tear it down on site so it's not like walking through
all these old rv's and they put the parts inside nice and
clean easy to find it's awesome i actually bought a couch
here for a yoda a little recliner couch uh-huh you can get some
captain's chairs and everything this place is massive all sorts of
curtain parts and rods and see what i mean
i mean they got everything for an rv used parts all sorts of uh blind rods
and and rv blinds of all different sizes
even got some old propane lanterns up here
light fixtures also i mean you could literally
wait you could literally build an entire rv from parts that are right here in
this store and that's actually a future project i want to do
one day i don't know when but i want to buy a cargo van or
something and build an rv the way nomadic fanatic wants to do it
look at all these different color stove tops you looking for a specific color
that's awesome old vent fans and vent fan
motors oh rv prepper wayne would have a field day in this place
all kinds of uh reflectors and lights tail lights all sorts of stuff for the
outside of the rv are you missing a fridge uh shelf of
some sort or do you want a different one that has a hole in a different spot for
like your big milk crate they got all the knobs look at all that
are you missing the crisper bins rubber rubber gaskets for your fridge
any of these little pockets or trays that go inside the
fridge oh my here we come around to the
plumbing section where you can find porcelain toilets in
here even some new toilets all kinds of
fittings and stuff never hurts to have some extra fittings guys i'm telling you
stock up on these because you may need them if
you're missing a water door they have these some of them even have
the keys to them it's like see they tape the keys to them
in case you're missing a water door i could go on and on the sewer hose
holders and all of the attachments and everything
they've got some different size sinks some replacement faucets
and everything is so incredibly reasonably priced here if you're looking
for something specific you can also call lauren here directly
and have your name and item put on a list
and if they ever tear down an rv that has that part they'll save it for you
it's pretty cool here's the section if you're building your own
which i do have some modifications i need to make but look at all these
cabinet door pieces everywhere or even some
bathroom vanities like my rv didn't come with any
so like little medicine cabinets you could add this one has dual lights on
the side there's a tiny little one for like a a
wet bath uh you see people all the time missing
this water heater vent outside look at all they have they
have a bunch of different sizes even in some different colors like off-white and
silver okay and real quick upstairs
even better i love this place up here i've made a few repairs on some of the
uh drawers and stuff in the rv they have
they keep all those all sorts of sets of cushions and stuff
from rv's and again if you're building a custom rv that's when you're really
gonna like this section because you can come in
and find the color you're looking for and then all sorts of fabric you know
you might not need all of this like this backboard right here but you can cut the
material and use it for something else like an
armrest that matches you know what i mean at least that's my
that's my thinking and if you're missing one simulator how about come in and buy
just one instead of an entire four pack you only lost
one yeah come in and get the one simulator you need
or beauty rings do you need a water tank look at this strange long square one
they've got every kind imaginable of fresh water tanks
and if it doesn't have all the hardware you need no worries because they got it
on the shelf down there 85 bucks for a 29 gallon there
so i mean it's pretty cool pretty cool i didn't really overdo it this time kind
of proud of myself i had a shopping list this time too
got a new plastic one dollar paper towel holder because that one's not working
can never have enough towel racks in the bathroom so i got two more of those guys
my mom's rv is missing the vent so i got a two dollar vent
cap for hers i don't know where she lost if i'm gonna throw that on and also for
out here at the rv i got a a a t a propane t now i do have
the one inside so i can run the buddy heater off of that
but this one will go here i'll show you we'll take this cover off behind the
regulator this will go between the regulator
and the input of the tank right there and then this
if i unscrew this and show you you'll recognize this is a regular
propane accessory output right there so that i can run my
outdoor campfire plug it in here and have it sitting over here not have to
have a separate tank because you guys saw i have that tiny little
tank well this will just simplify that or a little portable barbecue girl
outside or or something so i love this store
definitely check them out if you get a chance
okay i'm gonna go see mom one more time and put this vent cap back on and then
we'll hit the road well hang on a minute good morning guys
i didn't finish my video from yesterday because i
had some issues here with miranda um i'm not really sure why it happened
or what had happened but i was bringing my leveling jacks back
up and they would not stop coming up and then there was smoke showing from
underneath the hood and i had to race in here and
unplug the hydraulic leveling system the lipper
hydraulic system there was a bunch of smoke coming out the bottom of the pump
right here and this piece this bolt that goes to the
motor was only halfway in there completely
stripped and snapped off inside the motor housing and
that's where the hydraulic smoke was blowing out of the bottom of this right
there also removed the fuse because it just
kept beeping at me non-stop telling me i couldn't drive
because my jacks were down even though the jacks are completely up as high as
they've ever been thankfully the boys here at coombs rv
were able to see me on short notice this morning
at least do a quick diagnosis to determine the motor issue
there's just no way of knowing if there's more things going on with the
system yet um yeah it's a tough one to diagnose
or if it's two pieces like the motors there the pump and reservoir and valve
systems here but they did diagnose that uh
the pump on my lippert lci leveling hydraulic system
has gone out and you might also think eric can't you just can't you just live
without a leveling system i i guess i could go back to those
tri-levelers and climb up on everything but i mean i have the system
kind of sucks timing-wise because i had plans
but they're doing some research to go get some prices and everything and then
get back to me on the the availability of that slash the
availability of getting that pump swapped out here
at coombs rv and uh i'm going to evaluate all this and get
back with you here in a minute here's what's up guys
plans changed plans changed we can get that part in i
figured it was not going to be a cheap part
but got to get this i mean this the system as is i mean those can rattle
loose or i could have another problem get stuck with the jacks down
you know so
yeah yeah hey don't get mad at me guys there's always something
camper van kevin says it all the time with an rv there's always something
it could be little could be small you just you just start
marking it off your list before it gets really really bad before that list gets
too long and this is a big one um you know
i wanted to be in organ the start of this video
tomorrow uh now we're gonna be here at least another week
however don't worry because through the magic of
youtube you're still gonna see me every other day
and also i finally went ahead and called disney
and i i asked for a full refund on my annual pass nearly a fourteen hundred
dollar value that i've been unable to use at all and
plus you only get three days so it's not unlimited anymore anyway i
never even activated it they issued me a full refund
so my my disney future is going into miranda the morata here
instead basically and uh
i'm not bummed out it's just i i don't have any control you don't have any
control you just laugh at it you just just just
can do man what do you do about it jax you just meow about it does that tend to
help that does pretty good then okay okay so
stay tuned i'll i'll give you an update here in about 48
hours guys be well bye
bye
