all right well proof you never know what you're gonna find when you just start
going the desert I love using scadoooder for this because I'm looking for free
camping or anything I came across this sign out here let me just get close
enough to it so the sun's not shining here take a look the desert bar the
Nelion saloon open October through April Saturday and Sunday high noon to 6:00
p.m. so we're gonna make it a little random to just have a bar out in the
middle of nowhere I don't know how they're gonna power it or get water but
we'll go check it out
you
holy cow that was an exhausting scooter ride that was horrible I'm glad I made
it here welcome to the bar in the middle of the desert hear the music it's it's
not the most random thing ever I don't get it
so I googled it on my phone actually this is an old mining camp up here but
some guy named Ken I forgot his name bought it in the 80s and he opened up a
bar with a liquor license and towed it in the water on trucks they have solar
for electricity so quit it put a bunch of history to this desert bar I guess
that only opened two days a week and only it for a few months in the winter
look at all the solar panels there's another one behind another roof full of
solar behind it but the entire place is runoff solar here in the desert I guess
they did actually find out well they dug deep enough to get oh well they're not
hauling in their water anymore they do have water darn random No
inside here they got some other old pictures of what it used to look like
maybe there's some horseshoe arc for you guys
turtle they're these chairs chairs laid completely out of horseshoes
and that's to signify the horseshoe pit awesome right behind the stage where you
barbecue smells good right there
it's pretty creative actually if they got old wire bundle what every call
these barrel things pretty darn quirky you guys know I like quirky I don't I
haven't seen anybody under the age of 40 here son on I don't know where all these
people come from they must just knew about it ahead of time cuz I sure found
it by accident the other thing is about in the summertime the reason they closed
in the summertime is because it is obviously really really hot and they
don't have a way to cool it out here I don't think the motivation to come out
to the desert when it's 120 degrees is that high so only opens September 30th
- I think March or April but it's cool well put some GP yeah yeah I'll find a
way to give you some GPS coordinates just guys do not try to drive an RV up
here that was about seven and a half miles but that road it took me over 40
minutes to get here on that little stretch right there so I would take
high-clearance vehicle don't take a scooter I got the scooter for Tory no
that's exactly no way I would have been here ever I wouldn't have found this
place without scooter so she's a trooper all right no biggie
back here at Parker Walmart which they say they allow you to stay here up to
three nights in a row and this is that one that's kind of an RV park there's
there's literally a lot a lot of RVs here and before it gets dark here I got
one more project one I am very excited to do and one I'm very excited to show
you the results many of you know that that RV is complaining about the smell
while you're driving and you roll down the window so to better explain that the
toilet doesn't have a p-trap like like a standard household toilet right so there
it's not it's not helping invent that by using water although we do have a gasket
in the toilet and you're supposed to keep water that helps but but our vent
pipes go up separately to the roof and I'll show you so up here on the RV roof
you can see I've got two vents there that one there and that one back there
those are for my gray and black tanks and it's supposed to bring all of the
sense out this way so that it doesn't go inside the RV the problem is and if
you're an RVer you probably know this if you've ever tried to roll down your
window while driving even a little bit the entire RV can fill with the smell of
raw sewage it's it's a very unpleasant smell and sometimes the actual gray tank
can smell even worse than the black tank it just depends or just stagnant water
anyway the stock system on nearly every larvae just does not work and the path
of least resistance apparently it's more convenient for the smell to go up
through the toilet and then underneath the door of the bathroom and then fill
the entire RV and go out the tiny crack of my window than it is to just simply
go out one of these events that come stock so they literally do not work at
all I don't even know what their purpose is and yeah there are a lot of gadgets
out there that can't be world in other places will try to sell
you that are better caps but they they just don't have very good reviews and
this one actually has a really good review there's some videos out there I
forgot the name of the couple but they're in their RV after installing two
of these guys 55 mile an hour both windows down passenger and driver's
window down and then the lady goes back and flushes the toilet and keeps the
valve open while they're driving and they say with straight faces and smiling
don't smell a thing in here that's shocking right but apparently these
cheap pieces of plastic I think I paid 20 bucks apiece for these but there's
they're creating that type of vacuum science or something I don't know how it
works but there's people that say these things work and then it actually will be
sucking those fumes out as you're driving instead of letting them go
somewhere else so whereas before I just had a vent that is supposed to vent the
tank this is going to pull the sense from the tanks and force them to come
out over the roof instead of in the RV so I got two of these they are supposed
to be really really simple to install so I'm gonna get on that right now before
it gets dark so I'm gonna be stripping away the caulking around here
to remove to aint access to the screws and then we'll take this off and I will
show you how it works and so this turned out to be a it's the dirty annoying job
I guess you'd call it cuz I mean I'm working right on the vent right here
this is literally the toilet poop tank right there and I'm you know trying to
carve off stuff and take off the old one and I'll tell you what it definitely
works because it smells a little like poo up here this is the old one that I
pulled off obviously I still need to clean up the area but I'm gonna I'm
gonna prep it and I'm gonna go get myself leveling dicor and start filling
in some of these holes also going to be replacing this you can see how dry and
cracked that is so we'll get a new layer around the tube and then we will prep
the surface what the heck what isn't about every
easy project I do so basically what we're gonna end up doing again after
this is clean but this is gonna go on there like that obviously all these
holes need to be sealed because this one is smaller in diameter it's all gonna be
exposed and then this guy right that's gonna sit up here but as you can see I
can't even push it down all the way because this pipe sticks up too high for
the old one so I need to get a hacksaw and I need to physically cut it right
here to make this smaller so that this will fit on there
it's never easy but since the project took a little longer than I thought I'm
just gonna do the one tonight seal it all up and then tomorrow I'll do the one
for the other side but let me clean it and silicone it or clean it and Dicor it
up I got her all sealed up and secured and
latched in there I did get some black dust on the inside part but I got all
the screws covered and in a couple days this dye core will flatten out and be
really even and you won't even see any of the imperfections there wasn't really
going for perfection anyway but it looks good so like I said since it got dark
I'm gonna save the other one there for later but at least I know I can do it
now and I know what I need to do to cut that pipe I almost got rid of this
hacksaw actually forgot to tell you guys I've when I went through my tools I was
trying to think of the stuff that I don't use and this is one of the tools
that I had not used since I cut the bar on the solar panel and so I almost got
rid of this glad I didn't though so I actually got my second wind took a
shower and had some hot apple cider and went backing up there and finished the
other one tonight - so they're both completed but I ran out a dike or did
not get to finish sealing the second one so need to find an RV parts store that's
gonna sell that self-leveling stuff I wanted to show you this Walmart at night
because this is that Parker Arizona Walmart that I'm staying at and there's
bees everywhere first of all you got the the blue GMC which is cool but does
anybody recognize this Dodge vogue right here guys if you seen my RV evolution
video this was my first RV ever it's a Canadian made 79 dodge vogue same color
scheme and everything who actually wasn't my RV was my girlfriend's RV but
it started everything it started the RV life this RV right here so kind of
interesting seen it here in Arizona there definitely can't be too many of
those left right it's tough because there's so many interesting things there
but you don't want invaded people's privacy there's people living in their
cars and there's a van they're an RV another van there it's a home built self
built on a big huge truck it's like a tiny house but it's definitely mobile a
little door on the outside it's that weird or what man I made to talk to him
in the morning and see if I can get a tour of that that is something different
I know what you're gonna see at Walmart all right got them both installed and
sealed over there it's this one's still gonna level out a little better but
lastly gonna do is going to be to test these out see if they do any better than
the stock vents they have - all right here's my good test right
how do you have to roll my window down very much
my tanks are full I need to dump both tanks today
so far so good
I don't smell anything
it's magic Jax
that is awesome yes
feeling good now alright let's head back to quartzite
