So let's do that hook it up and then let's start this bad boy up and see if our theories like is
this going to work obviously this is like the wrong application or something like that for
what we're trying to do but I mean even there words we don't need to be exact so this video
is very very different from what we normally do but we had a very big problem that we needed to
find a solution for ASAP because because we sold our Jeep if you saw a couple weeks ago we got a
different toad in one of the big problems we have had is because of the way this is set up oil and
grease getting blown back all over our toad did not need that to happen with the new toad with it
being a nice newer vehicle so really big problem we needed to solve things did not go the way we
thought you're just going to have to find out so I am going to put gloves on because this has gotten
really nasty like literally this thing is like so greasy look at that so this is the original
breather tube so I had extended it which helped but it's still getting back on the Jeep or the
tow vehicle all right here's the old breather tube so now we need to measure how long to the
back cuz I'm going to extend it out to the back of the rig well from where you just disconnect ConEd
that though right it's going to come straight down the bending isn't going to be an issue cuz it's
not like there's not a lot of huge bends going on so let's put this in a plastic bag cuz it's
so greasy oh you want to take that with I want to take it with just so I get the right size of
[Music]
Hose so I think what we're going to do is put this in here put a clamp over this and
then on the other end we're going to do the same just put this into here and then put
a clamp over this and that will allow us to go to the back of the RV and we can just see
how dirty it's actually getting that's too big I found the perfect little bin
that um is going to do the trick at the Dollar Tree right here so for dollar 20
$1.25 this is going to be our Reservoir that the tube is going to go into so
basically this so we're going to cut a hole in the top of it and then on
the other side this is going to go through and then we're going to put
a clamp on the other other side of this to hold this on so it doesn't come out
so
[Music] genius one thing we've learned during our time on the road is the importance of being
able to recharge and have some time to just take a little break I was recently introduced to a game
called June's journey and it's been a fun way to just give my mind a mini vacation June's Journey
is super fun and easy to play it's a hidden object mystery game set in the 1920s you move through
different scenes to find hidden objects that unlock more information on the developing murder
mystery storyline to find out who the villain really is one of the things that I love is the
feeling of cleaning and organization in the game as you find objects clean each scene and decorate
your estate Island I'd rather not spill the beans and ruin the surprises for anyone but I will let
you know you can check out this fun free game too just download June's Journey for free by clicking
the link below in the description or scanning the QR code on the screen June's journey is available
on Android and iOS mobile devices as well as on PC through Facebook games now back to the video
now I'm just trying to figure out like placement of where I want it so one place I was thinking
right here is we can put the put the can kind of down here that way it's kind of Hidden Away from
you know seeing it and then I can easily come in and open it up you know and dump any of the
oil out and every so often or I could route it around the back of the rig but I'm going to be
installing some Dura flaps mud flaps back there and I don't want it to be in the way of that or
the flap to be hitting it so I'm I'm thinking it might be best to just come on the side here this
can is plastic and so I'm just afraid of if a rock comes up and hits it I almost feel like it needs
to be in an area where it's going to be a little bit more like protected right which this would be
a little bit more protected up in here this has to be kind of sloping down you can't have it sloped
up right right right because because then it'll down it'll yeah oil flows down and then it'll
clog it up and it won't be able to breathe so our options are fairly limited on where we can place
it so something that we learned that we picked up a while back is actually a yoga mat because we
learned it's great to have this in your RV Arsenal so to speak for these types of times where maybe
you need to get up under your RV I know a lot of people try to keep like those kneeling pads which
is great but the yoga mat we found works better if you need to actually like lay out under your
RV like we're having to do for this project here so pick those up super cheap I mean Walmart Five
Below oh I should be working we're not doing is that your idea of yoga is we're not doing
yoga here sort of flinging your hands in the air right so what I'm going to do now is I'm taking
off this big black tube that's connected up to the current breather tube make sure it fits yep good
so right about there well I guess start start lower than what you think because you can't go
shorter all right so what we need to do now is just cut a hole in this lid that will fit this
real real quick question what do we have one of those you know those hole saw things yeah we do
but that's like this is it the same I just wonder if it would be a cleaner hole I don't
know I think I'm just going to cut it out with a knife cuz that's going to be the cleanest method I
think I actually just draw around it well actually the oil just created a nice little outline for
me actually a jigsaw would be better I you're going to have a hard time holding because it's
such thin plastic well the problem is with this knife what about like some heavy duty
scissors no a jigsaw would work the best because you draw one hole you get the jigsaw
and cut it all right don't forget your safety glasses we need to drill a small pilot [Music]
hole so right about there don't don't don't get your
finger you know what I'm using the wrong bit here hold on hold
please oh just kidding we're good this is where I need a
vice that is the one thing that like with RVing you can't always like you can't bring
a whole Workshop right right and things like a vice is That's Heavy and so like
when you think about weight and stuff like that that could definitely be an
issue exactly I'm going to go ahead and put it back on here and then I'm going to start
it so now we just need to make sure it fits in there get oh yes I love it when a plan comes
to together so then what I'm going to do is put a clamp on the end of this that way it doesn't drop
down clamp there don't forget we have to cut some sort of like vents in the top of the can yep for
airflow yep so I will put I will drill some holes on the top here like once that this is on the big
thing will be like to start it up right start the engine up yeah idle a little bit see what happens
yep three lids now and they're just soft and they
crack it's not working the way we thought at all so I
mean these chintzy Lids just aren't going to work out so so now we're like okay well maybe Plastics
I don't know like the hard thing is I mean we just were looking at the Home Depot app we were
looking at Amazon app like obviously this is like the wrong application or something like that for
what we're trying to do but like what what do we do like what is the next best option like I
thought just like put a sock on it you know cuz I mean if it just is needing to like breathe air
out but like collect oil so it doesn't get blown back on to the toad but Ben's not keen on the
sock idea no it's got to yeah it's it's going to get clogged almost feel like we need a container
Sans of lid that we can just put the hose in the container and bypass the lid yeah but if there's a
container that would be a similar size as the hose yeah but you have to have a lid so you can unscrew
it and dump the oil out otherwise it's a permanent installation no I know so yeah any thoughts let us
know I think I found something wait a minute though hold on but does it the it doesn't
screw but that's the it's not going to it's going to literally just oh pop off well we could you
know we could put a little Gorilla tape on there okay here's the deal even if you're Gorilla tape
it now you go to empty it you're going to have to under your Gorilla Tape right yeah I mean unless
you leave this as the permanent install but this defeats your purpose cuz you said you didn't want
something not clear right right but you can't have it all oh what's this I know that's what
I was just going to propose there's this one all right maybe all right but then we just cut it out
right yeah don't use the jigsa all right use the something else yes else so just want to go on the
record wh by saying when we first started this little project we were to talking talking about
putting a hole in the lid I said why don't you just use a hole saw do we have one of those you
know those hole saw things yeah we do but that's like this is it the same I just wonder if it would
be a cleaner hole I don't know and Ben's like no guess I should have listened to start with but
I really do think a whole saw is going to work perfect because this is the exact I said that
size at the very beginning of this yes you did you know sometimes I just have to learn the hard way
right like what what is it what is it like anyway with the kids where you just let the kids sit and
fail and you're like you're just going to have to I'm just watch this happen and you'll learn
and so same thing I don't know all right let's try it though yep we'll see it's a good theory test it
out wow and it's a perfect hole perfect hole like let's see if it'll fit this it's
perfect almost like it was just meant to happen wow
brilliant I knew it all along like w why didn't you say this from the beginning this really would
have saved us a lot of time why don't they always listen I just don't get it it would have saved us
a lot of time if things would have gone my way in the first place all right we're getting closer oh
oops oh oh careful yeah okay so we figured out a good solution so what I did is I what
we think is a good solution I feel like all of this is tongue and cheek because we haven't like
proved it out yet yeah so we kind of wrapped it with Gorilla Tape just to you know give it that
extra I mean I don't know what you'd call it and by we Ben's referring to him in the mouth in his
pocket to seal it up and then this will screw on so now it's on it's not coming off then on the
other side just so it doesn't fall down back through I'm putting a clamp up here so that
way there's a clamp on both sides so that way it's not going to well if the container comes
off for any reason we don't lose the right tube or the lid I guess I don't know yeah but here's
the good news this contain from the Dollar Tree so pretty inexpensive to replace yep so we'll
tighten this up and there we go folks we have our modified makeshift breather tube now next we need
to just put some custom holes in the top lid no no no I feel like on the side putting any more
holes in the lid is going to be problematic after the last one's broke just do it in the container
in the container around the the top yeah yeah so let's do that hook it up and then let's start this
bad boy up and see if our theories like is this going to work this is like this is really going to
be I think one of the biggest challenges that we have faced yet because this is the biggest improv
improvisation thing we've done am I saying that right something like that all right I hope that's
the right tool cuz that looks very large all right please don't crack this container no this a softer
container like dude you really feel like the hole needs to be that large yeah that actually
that seems like a really big hole well you do want them to breathe but that the oil is going to come
out that no no no the the no it doesn't the oil just kind of dumps out down into here and we'll
put a little bit of cardboard down here just to kind of absorb some of the oil but I feel like a
series of smaller holes would be better you think yes I think you should go back to the other drill
bit and just make a a ton of all right like almost like a screen you know yeah well that's perfect
just like that I feel like that's still large but no I think that's good also feel like this
probably not like the most safety video of how to use power tools not really but this is going to
be functional like disclaimer don't do what we're doing I'm actually pretty excited so now we need
to just go clamp this guy on there the only thing since we changed is we don't know how low that is
going to hang that one oh yeah it's a little bit bigger but I uh left a little bit of room um for
error trial and error trial and error so let's clamp this bad boy on and start her up and see
if if it works like that's the whole theme right now trial and error okay so this is going to go
right up oh do you see that too wait a minute I do but I thought we were going to use okay
you're just using the factory one yeah I'm going to slide onto the factory hose and clamp onto that
got it she's tight there she is okay so here's the Moment
of Truth she's going to go start it up and we're going to see if it
works all
right beautiful it works does it work it does is it going to like the biggest test though
is is when you drive it down the road right is it going to come off is it going to stay
is it going to get broken cuz it's just plastic well let you know yeah I guess I
don't know will tell I'm nervous so I'm going to put a video right up here as to why we even
bought a 20-year-old RV in the first place pretty interesting on that also don't forget
to check out Jean's Journey link below for you to download that fun free game if we don't see
you out on the road or around the campground we'll catch you in the next video I wasn't
recording now I'm recording y all right I'm going to say it again
