hey guys once again if you're in an rv and you have one of these similar looking refrigerators
and you have these boring looking panels
boring but why do you do that don't don't be boring be unique give you a little tip flip these
guys over so that you're not going to damage the nice wood grain in case you want to sell it again
later flip them over spray some adhesive on here go to walmart pick out a poster get any poster and
make your own custom fridge panels han solo and carbonite
what is going on everyone hello eric here from nomadic fanatic
hope you guys are doing well the projects on the new rv have officially begun
yeah i'm going to change out that intro here pretty soon i want to go back to old school so
i may be filming something a little more familiar and bringing in the old tune with the new meows
we shall see but thank you for joining me guys we'll be uploading this video with some
nomad internet link below in the video description uh projects have already begun look at that shiny
wheel right there yeah some people like to put the uh easy snap-on ones on their rv don't do it
resist the urge to save a little bit of money guys that's why this rv was missing two of the four and
uh you're gonna lose them they're gonna pop off on the roads so these are the pacific dualies that i
like with the bolt-on system so this is a fake one that's a fake one there's extenders on the other
side these bolt this and keep this on there's the front and there's the back nice and shiny
really brings out a better looking rv no matter how old your rv it just makes it look so much
better all right not the only mod on the front here we got our abs bug shield here that will that
will help it so that when i'm driving the bugs won't hit the windshield they'll kind of go up and
well you can you can see the front cap there a little that's where they'll go instead yeah
anyway it keeps keeps them all i always get these got this one through modified auto they have a
they have access to these and floor mats also got the uh rain guards there for the window however uh
tj was teasing me because well in a class c rv the overhang is basically a huge
rain guard but anyway i i like them i think they look really good well what else did we
do we didn't do the headlights yet apparently you have to order them one at a time so i'm waiting
on the other set just like i did in vanna white those will uh definitely improve the look here um
oh the big one frida yes i think i'm gonna call her frida spent an entire day at modified auto
getting protected so alarm yeah and i can do this on my phone as well but remote start on the rv so
that if i have it switch to air conditioning or heat for the kitties give it a minute
oh yeah oh yeah remote start now uh this rv isn't as long as miranda uh
but i'm gonna be either towing the car or the motorcycle behind it and this particular model
24d doesn't come with a backup camera stock that's okay because i know a guy
modified auto uh simply added me one in there's my seven inch screen which will show me what's going
on behind the rv there is a camera in the license plate currently on the back of the rv right now
which i may replace later and put it in a different spot i kind of want to give it some
time and see how this works you don't always need a camera way up here to give you the full view um
i can use my rear view mirror and see what the car the trailer does and then the camera will show me
how close i am to the line so i can react with the steering wheel real quick we'll see i might have
to eat my words may have to change it and put the camera up top above the clearance lights after all
but yeah mods have begun uh before we start on today's projects though the most asked question
from my last video ironically uh was still what are you doing with miranda i mean hundreds of
comments so apparently i need to explain what i'm doing with miranda which hasn't changed at all if
you've actually been following my channel you know about the accident you know about my insurance
one thing that's changed officially now geico has ruled that i am not at fault in the collision so
i have under motorist insurance whatever that is um it's going to be paid for in full i don't
even know my 500 deductible i don't know anything they're gonna pay for this the problem is we're
still waiting to find a shop to work on it with labor shortages and it's the summer time and um
so so i would still be just stuck here i would be living in my rv here at the shop waiting to
get in for four six eight eight months we even heard at one time why would i do that no i'm
getting back out on the road to this rv so what are you doing with this rv nothing it's gonna
sit here and wait to get fixed just like nothing has changed the only thing that's changed is i
have a new different rv to go travel in and continue traveling the country while i wait
so what are you doing with miranda nothing nothing everybody just lost their minds over that
what a difference having the hot tub inside in just 24 hours we went from 59 degrees to 104 there
wow i did have to get a new hot tub because that really bad storm at base camp last year completely
tore up my intex so i'm trying the coleman coleman sally spa it's even got that uh green coleman look
that you're so used to there i like it we'll try that out later tonight so what's going on
inside let me show you unlike vanna white that camper van that i got about this time last year
um which nothing worked i had to replace everything fridge air conditioner the furnace
uh the the propane line was broken everything on that rb needed to be updated and fixed unlike
that this rv knock on wood mostly everything seems to work and seems to work really well
however there is antifreeze in the tank and i got ready to flush out that system here at the
shop but unfortunately when i turned on this pump i heard i heard a sound i didn't like
gushing water now again let's just compare miranda for a minute because miranda that my class a
coachman murata uh as we determined is meant to be a throwaway rv which means if a component goes out
you're just supposed to throw away the entire rv and total it hence the water pump the water pump
which is not accessible in in that coachman they did change it actually later on i forgot what year
maybe 2017 or 18 but you can actually replace a water pump without tearing into the wall and
carving in and removing everything to get at the water pump um one of the cool things about this
rv is that it's very very easy to simply change a water pump let me show you how easy this is let
me remove this cushion let me remove this other cushion got to remove this piece of wood like that
and would you look at that it's a water pump and look at it it's like it's telling me eric
don't throw away this rv just fix this water pump right here okay well that's easy
really so this one here i'm not familiar with this brand aqua pro it does look like it's possibly the
original one from this rv in 2001 the diaphragm is leaking in there so i'm not going to throw
this away i'm going to i'm going to possibly be able to refurbish it and take a look at it or have
wayne or robert take a look at it for me but i am going to unhook the dc bring it into coleman
campers and see what we can find that's compatible it doesn't have to be the same brand but it has to
have the the right the same wiring 12 volt and it has to have the in and out ports in the same place
for the same configuration to fit in that spot so that's what i'm going to go do today i'll let you
know how that goes all right let's pop this guy in real quick oh it comes with a new strainer too
oh and new threaded connectors i don't need those that's what i want
oh yeah okay it is exactly the same yep finish up this last connector just hand tight there
that's a that's a two-minute project all right we got water in the tank underneath
this seat at least a little bit it is time what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna turn the water pump on
and then hopefully what's going to happen is this is going to take a moment to prime
and it's going to turn off if it keeps going then we have another problem and i just haven't
been able to test until we've got that water pump fixed so here we go ready water pump
come on turn off turn off ah it's not turning off crud okay so what does that mean
well i'll tell you what that means
we need to investigate the water line i gotta trace it back uh let's open up this let's take a
peek down here real quick everything's dry around the water heater back there yep we gotta find out
why it's not pressurizing there's a water line behind the toilet it's all dry let's open up the
sink here it's all dry what the heck um i need to uh i need to check the section that goes from
here to the bathroom i'm gonna pull out this drawer have a peek here get the flashlight and
dry dry as a bone everywhere very dry what the heck wait a minute maybe there was
just no water in the lines and it hasn't fully pressurized i'm gonna give it six more seconds
just shut off it just shut off yeah there wasn't we didn't pressurize the whole time
still i'm just i'm just not taking that chance it hasn't cycled back on if it were to go
every five seconds then you'd have a leak it sounds like we're good
yes that was so easy i will say that aqua pro water pump is very loud so
it's going to kick on every single time i open it but here we go guys first time
we got running water oh my gosh ah
we got a leak here in the faucet crud well let me get a towel all right no biggie no harm done
kitchen sink is uh needs to look at maybe a gasket that needs to be tightened there
is it leaking underneath you know it's bone dry underneath so it's just leaking at the faucet here
i'll work on that later let's go to the bathroom check here heck yeah
heck yeah perfect we got running water at least that's the main thing now i can get the rest of
the antifreeze out of that tank and start sanitizing that tank i'll just until i get
this fixed i won't be running any water to this particular line so i'll have to make sure that i
completely flush that one later but cool um i've never been too fond of of rv mattresses the stock
mattresses that come with this uh this rv did still have the uh original mattress which is a
little different it's called a corner queen and that's because you can see this little
angle right there that angle that's so that the the bathroom door would only open this far with
that angle cut out now the bathroom door can open all the way so that clean corner bed has a weird
cut to it um well this i didn't do this in any of my other tiogas that had this bed frame but i love
my 10 inch memory foam bed in the bag type thing so i simply modified it to fit yeah now i'm going
to show you it looks ugly though but you'll never know i mean it literally fits perfectly
as you're looking at it right now but underneath here i just got a knife and i just
i carved it i carved it all the way along this is one of those lull uh 10 inch memory foam
it's ridiculously comfortable so um yeah and then you put this fitted sheet over and then
pull this over and no one's gonna ever know and it's the most comfortable mattress in the world
also you can see the tvs back off i changed my mind guys i took a look at how the previous owners
had mounted it to this and it's just not working for me anymore it's not although i kind of like
the position because you can have the tv facing the bed or you can flip it around here um i'm just
not gonna do it i need to use this space actually for other things like a coffee maker and you know
counter space is very limited up here anyway so um well once again the same exact system that i
got for vanna white in the camper van this is the locking tilting mount so that it locks in place
until you flip this up we're going to be using that on the tv here in a future project but did
want to at least say that i've removed all of the other customizations that the previous owner had
made right there we're going to keep the kitchen counter area pretty stock here and possibly
utilizing either this corner below the thermostat or possibly even over here there aren't a whole
lot of outlets and there's already a coax right here which i'll be tying into later for my roof
satellite dish instead of over the air tv there's an outlet there um you know and i
might just have to add some outlets because there really aren't very many there's this one here
geez where am i gonna find the next one no none up on the okay the next one is in the kitchen
okay and then ironically they did give me one more
right there by the bed to charge your phone or something so three three outlets in the whole
rv not including the one here in the bathroom as well and i got a buddy robert who is a handyman
electrician who might be able to add me a few more in convenient places yeah all right here we go
activate bubbles
yeah yeah
oh my goodness
it's actually a smaller hot tub than the ones i've had before
uh that's a good thing because it actually has the same exact pump and heater as the bigger one so i
think that's why it's a little more efficient oh my gosh maybe it'll stay warmer longer
this uh shop space is working out a lot better than base camp did
i'm digging it digging it i'll get back to you guys in a bit
how are the kitties adapting to the new rv well one thing's for sure they are both loving this
overhead area it's like you know this high spot where they can both investigate opie is
very curious about the entire rv you know where tara is just she's you know she's our own soul
they are plain they are getting used to it i'm not over stimulating them or anything i can pretty
much confirm that there's no mice in this rv because they haven't caught wind of anything they
haven't chased anything we are getting ready to uh bug bomb the rv probably that'll be one of our
next projects here you like the new rv opie terra bear is it okay for you i hope he's like what let
me block let me block you don't need to talk to her yeah we need to talk to her she's precious
what do you think opie how you gonna get down without a ladder
oh you guys see i have started to decorate with my youtube 100 000 subscribers plaque there
not going to overdo it in this rv but i do need a couple things hung at least right opie
yeah you going to help me get to one million yeah say romro give he needs 100 million
or a 1 million subscribers he needs some yeah you got sleepies in your eye yeah so
we got a few days of rain coming here in illinois big surprise there i'm going to take a little
break from projects i have ordered the new faucet so that'll be here by time i get back uh
gonna go on another little adventure away from the shop here in our next video sound fun all right
opie and and tara and i we'll see in the next one guys bye-bye love you
you
