Thanks for watching! Check out our storage box renovation and baggage door install here: ruclips.net/video/H2NyDG95teI/видео.html
Yes! We are scared lol, it’s a 1996 Coleman. Didn’t even have a battery so we couldn’t test anything. We are broke now, so we are going to start with cleaning her up, and testing what works then making a list. So grateful how much you guys explain! Seriously good resource. I sub, like, and share a bunch. Let’s get you paid!
Yes please on the interior walkthrough. I just bought a pop up and started binge watching your vids. Please please please keep them coming.
Me too! We bought ours at an auction yesterday! No manuals, nothing. I was binging until 4am lol so happy to have found you guys!
@@voodoomistris you two will love this channel. He does a few upgrades that he shows you that are great.
And here I am doing the same 😂🤣 it’s an obsession!
Thank you for your awesome content! I am a single mom who is trying to make memories with my kids. I bought a 2000 Rockwood Freedom and the previous owners said it had good bones but then proceeded to give me the list of things that needed to be fixed. I have been binge watching your videos! We took her out for a first trip to a local campground so my father could come rescue me if I needed it...but so far so good! My daughter can’t wait to work on fixing her up with me. Thank you so much for your info! Love it!
Love the cooler area ! Yes an interior is great also.
Yes, plz do an interior video. We just bought a Jayco Jay series 1006 so I want to learn more about Jaycos. 😃
New to pop up camper we just bought a used one last month been going thru all you videos and alott of great advice always waiting for a new video from you to watch camping from the great state of ohio gooe.to see you out there or at least on here thanks for all the info
Your videos are awesome!! We are going to buy a pop up from a friend, ( Coleman Fleetwood Niagara) and it has heavy roof leakage issues. I know nothing about these campers and at 60 yrs old I’m finally getting one. I know we have a lot of work to do and your videos are so helpful. You explain things simply and clearly for this girls ol brain. 😄. Thank you so much for sharing.. 🙋🏻
Thank you for this video, it actually helped me to not look like a complete moron when I go pick up my 99 Coleman next week!! I plan to watch all your videos this week!! Happy Camping
Good video. Yes would like to see an inside video.
Great tutorial, very informative for those who are new to popup camping. I am quite sure there are a lot of newbies out there that would gain a lot from an additional interior walkthrough. Most that are new to popuping, and bought a used unit may have questions, that is why we recommend your channel. As always keep the content coming when you can, and do not forget to get out there also. Hope to see you out there.
So informative we just bought a new popup love these videos
Yes, interior walkthrough please!
This video helped me identify wth the vent is called that I need to replace and can not find! Hopefully now that I know what it's called I will find it🤞.. it's funny how you skipped over it in the time stamps but it was exactly what I needed 😄. Your channel has really helped me!! Especially being a single mama.
Yes want to see the interior review
Sad that this video is exactly the kind of video many need.
Absolutely inside please I just purchased a 2005 coachmen clipper. It's like new . Your videos have been a bunch of help thank you
Thank you for your videos! They have been a big help over the past few months as I get ready to go use my tent trailer(pop up camper) for the first few times! Thank you.
No problem!
Thanks for this video it was a lot of help
Thanks for the video
good information. thanks
I love your sound advice. It's very straight forward and non rambling. I am not able to find anyone that can show me where the bypass knob is for the water heater. I am winterizing and don't want to get antifreeze in it
Should be on the backside of the water heater
Yes an interior walk would be great
Just got my 95 jayco 1207 home! Time to put work in on it.
I also have a 95 that I have modernized to today's standards. Good luck with that lift system! That's probably going to be your biggest challenge. First off by just figuring out how to remove the panels that hide all the cables and pulleys and secondly by knowing what to look for to detect damage to any part of it.
Very helpful ty👍
Please add a video for the inside. I'm a newbie to pop-up camping and I love all your videos! We bought a Coleman 1996 in the fall and our first trip is next week.
Will do!
Liked the outside walk around. Just shows different set ups depending on your camper. Inside walk around will be just as interesting
Shameless plug: ruclips.net/video/-lUfnStPBkk/видео.html
Thanks for all the sound advice! My wife and I just bought a 2019 Viking very similar to yours, with the dinette slideout and all.
I would love to hear what you guys do while camping w/o hookups. How many watts hrs do you generally go through in a day, and would you recommend adding solar?
Thanks!
Good video guys!👍
Thanks!
Interior please!!! Great overview!
Great video as usual. Where im at in Canada were still on lockdown from covid so all our campgrounds are still closed.. That makes no sense at all but hopefully soon. We have had two weeks cancelled on us already and were camping on June 11 But they say June 14th the will open so there goes another weekend.. AHHHHHHHHHHH lol
First I'd like to say thank you for the great content. I have learned a lot in just a few hours. Sadly, I wish I had found your channel prior to purchasing a 2005 Coachmen Clipper Spirit 1006 ST pop-up. I purchased it knowing that the lift system was not operational however, I thought it would be a simple fix. Unfortunately, I now see that it is more complicated. The original and now removed lift system was an IDT. I thought I could simply replace it by installing a Goshen system in but I cannot find any information on how I can do that. Also, the crank is in the back/rear and not on the trailer mount which is another problem I think. Do you have any advice? Are you aware of any retrofits? Any knowledge, insight or suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you for your time.
Looking for info on my coachman clipper 1280 pup like repairs and best places to find parts . Its a 1997 but I LOVE it.
Every question i look up this guy pops up lol get it?
Anyway thanks for all the answers man
Thank you! This is helpful.
Would you happen to have a video about sanitizing the fresh water tank? Many others say to do this before you leave, then drain the water when you get there to get the bleach water out after it has time to slosh around while driving, then refill at the campground.
Ok, I see their point, to a point.
But Who wants to drive/tow with 160 extra lbs on their pop up, (if a 20gal tank). We have other supplies in there, and we have a limit of 3500 lbs on our tow vehicle, which we don't ever want to get up to.😯
Is there a sanitizer method besides bleach that is available to campers as used by dairy farmers? I'd prefer that. I'm not fond of bleach, but even less fond of what germs could be lurking in there.
I know it says in our Jayco manual 1cup per 15 gal, or abouts.
Thanks!
pop up are great!! i just have a 1983 viking mini gasser on slide LOL an its a mamual lift! do you have any videeos on these type of pops? & easiest way to lift when its just you? tk you! kitty
I'm renovating my pop up and I'd like to replace my shore power opening with a power plug (so that I don't have one of my bench storage dominated by the coiled...unused...portion of the power cord). My problem is that my shore power opening is large enough to allow for the 30 amp plug to reside inside of it (which is pretty typical for pop ups). However, if I remove the existing line/plug enclosure, the cutout is about 3.5", but all of the replacement plugs I can find only fit cut outs of 2.25"-2.75". Have you ever done that type of change/replacement? Any idea where I can find a 30 amp plug that fits a pop up shore power opening?
Very helpful I just bought a used 2005 Jayco M1207. Please do an interior walk thru
Will do!
Your videos are awesome. I just picked up a pop up. The cooler slide? Did you make that?
Yep
Yes I would like to see in side walk
Can you do videos on other pop ups. For example I have a 77' StarCraft that I want to turn into a hard side. I'm trying to figure out where I can put connections that were not invented yet back then.
Hey poppin! I just bought a 2009 jayck popup. Was wondering what your thoughts are if I want to rent it out??...on rvzy or reshare...
Thanks... :)
Never really looked into it, but there's so many ways to damage a pop up, I'd be afraid of that.
Yes, interior info, especially how the battery inverter works and when it switches to electric when you're plugged in while camping, etc. All that electrical stuff confuses me!! Thank you!
Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/wswFGk7wzbo/видео.html
Is there anyway you could do a short video on using your showers on the pop up? I’ve searched all over and nobody has a video on how to properly connect for shower use either on grid or off grid. I’m just scared to hook it up wrong and flood my pop up. DM would work too if you don’t want to do a video. Please.
Stinging insects like to nest in water heater access, refrigerator vent and propane tank housings, when camper is idle for a few weeks in a driveway.
Do you have tips in adding a bike rack to a popup?
Not really, as we don’t take our bikes camping. With the that being said, I’m a big fan of not putting extra holes in the roof if you can avoid it. So, if you can take the extra tongue weight, perhaps look into a double hitch receiver and adding a hitch bike rack. I’ve also seen bike racks that mount to the tongue area of the pop up and allow the rear wheel of the bike to rest on the pop up. That may be a good option as well.
Question...should you put a cover on a pop up with trailer (with an air conditioner) when storing outside over the winter time?
Yeah, just ensure it’s a purpose made, breathable cover intended for pop ups.
I wish somebody would do more walk thru's. I was living in a tent in winter and nice people gave me a 1990 240c skamper camper i can't find a manual and i won't even attempt to connect it to power or propane because it's old and sat for a couple years open. Im afraid of burning it down because i don't know anything about it and can't check things i don't know anything about
I have a question and I can't find anything on RUclips to help. I just recently bought a 2002 colman fleetwood Utah cp. I live in Washington state where it rains constantly. My question is. If you have to close up the trailer in the rain how do you dry it out when you get home? I do have a garage I put the trailer into and I can raise the roof but not fully.
Sounds good to me. You don't need to raise your roof fully to remove the canvas and let it drape out the sides without the beds extended. Bring a towel with you camping as well to wipe away the majority of the water just prior to packing up.
Hey. We have an 05 jayco 12hw. Do they have a place for batteries? If so where do they go and what do they run? What batteries do you need so that they last? We have an amperage meter display but no batteries.
Should be placed on the front tongue if you’re going with a non-sealed lead acid battery. Regardless of the battery chemistry type, it should be a “deep cycle” battery. In theory if you have a sealed battery such as a lithium, it could go inside the pop up such as a storage compartment or cabinet.
@@ItsPoppin y'all are the absolute best. We weren't given a manual and there's very little info I can find on RUclips besides your channel. Thank you so much for the information.
Hi, if your filling the holding tank with a hose, how do I know when the tank is full?
It’ll start coming out the air intake(s)
I removed the water tank years ago
I don’t have power to my AC everything works but the AC! Is there away to switch from DC too120?
Are you plugged into shore power? 120 doesn’t work off battery power.
Also don't forget to plug it into the roof before you raise it. Been there done that and took me longer to figure out than it should have. :-/
I recently bought a 2002 Colman Bayside pop up. It has a coleman mach 9430d715 air conditioner that never shuts off. Do you know if it should? I have looked everywhere to find the answer and just keep telling me how to install it. TIA
They're don't have a temperature regulated shut off. It's on or off with the roof top air conditioners.
Thanks 😥
Is there a manual crank when you pop up has an electric lift?
Yes, there should be a manual override in case the electric lift fails.
@@ItsPoppin do you know where it would be? I’ve looked all over for one. The electric switch doesn’t have a hole where it could crank. Would it possibly be inside the case not accessible without removing it?
In my experience, there should just be a small cap that twists off or pops off. It may depend on make and model though.
how to find model number on my pop up camper
Thanks for the great tutorial. I have a new Chalet Arrowhead and have a few questions. Is there a number I can call you at?
Feel free to email at itspoppincampers@gmail.com
Greetings I just got a star craft 2005
Congrats!
Why would you have to heat hot water? 😂😂 Just kidding thanks for the video!
Ya I'm going to watch TV while camping😑
Why do you need a heater to heat hot water? It's a water heater, not a hot water heater.
That is a water heater, not a HOT water heater. Why would you heat hot water? This is a common mistake...
