- We can't continue living in our RV full-time until we fix this propane leak! We needed some help though, so we teamed up with Wess to fabricate a custom bracket to mount our Camper Van's brand new propane tank and get us back on the road!

We're Eric & Allison and we're on a journey to find the most interesting places and unique foods this planet has to offer! We've traded in our steady paychecks and permanent home for a life of travel and adventure. Come along and see the world with us!
The Endless Repair show
LOL!
For a while it seemed like it…..
😅😂
😂😂😂😂 yep, but love Eric and Allison they are up for the challenge
I'm sure they will try to repair that...
Ain’t that the truth. So did they really own the last one they traveled on, or did they just rent it?
Wes is a legend! His bus is pretty sweet too. It's been featured on almost every bus life channel.
Total legend! His bus was amazing to see in real life - such a massively talented and kind fella 🙌
Tip for the windshield wipers. Use Rainex on the windshield, it will make the rain bead up and roll off the window
why didn't you go ahead and do the door while you were there?
Was it a time issue?
Clementine is just like any other home. Always something to repair!
Exactly!
Finally, you got the propane tank issue resolved. Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐. We'll see 👀 you on the road adventurers.
Get you some Rain-X either in the washer fluid form or the coating to put on your windshield, it’s a game changer for rainy days when driving.
Absolutely!
Weirdly, I like the fixing videos. But I'm also looking forward to some road trip videos, especially if you're heading west and hopefully by summer will be up in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. There's so much to see and do here, I hope you allot a good amount of time in our little corner of the country.
I thought they were funny and cute at first, but now it‘s just exhausting.
I agree! Super exhausting. I stopped watching for a while.
You both are learning so much about what it takes to keep a vintage vehicle on the road, and everything you are learning just adds to your knowledge...even new RV's break down...so don't despair. We enjoy watching you both so much, fingers crossed for Happy Trails!
You don't need a refill door! You just need to connect up an external refill point / socket.
Why did you not have him do the door ?
First for once. It is a joy to see you two handling the things life throws your way. How does it feel to have a steady home, even if it is mobile?
It feels great! It's still a teeny bit hard to totally relax in there, especially on driving days, but we're in love with her more now than ever 😍
make sure everything under your RV is closed up around any kind of hoses and electrical wires so you would not get any tiny critters sneaking up there. And having some type of LED lights under there while you sleep, was told that critters don't like the light.
What you were told about the light keeping critters away at night is a huge fairytale brother! I’ve tried it too many times to count over the years as well as trying different color lights, different brightness from low to blinding flood lights and id have to say that if it does anything for the critters, it attracts all their kin folk and all their friends, etc , and if it does anything, it only attracts more!! I think I’m much better off by having no light at all under the RV
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. Both of you have great attitudes towards life and your motor home.
I appreciate you sharing. Hope the new door for the propane access, get installed before you run out of propane.
Keep posting. Safe travels
Same! At the moment we still haven't gotten the door installed, but it also hasn't run out. 😅 Hopefully in the next couple days we'll get it sorted!
Good job. Now you have a functioning gas tank. Look forward to seeing how you make the access door for it. Looking forward to your continuing adventures
So Happy for you both you found someone to help you with this tasks 😊
Looking Forward To your next Adventures 🥰 take care safe travels
Way to go, Friends! So excited for your next trip! Stay safe! ❤🙏from SC, Jane
Wes is great at parties too. He always ...raises the roof...
🤣🤣
Glad to see you two back on the road! Thanks for sharing 😊
FINAL? Are you kidding us? This is the endless adventure! But hopefully you'll get some traveling done in good old Clementine. Living vicariously thru you two!
I guess we probably should have said our final (big and necessary) rv project...there are still many, many (many) projects on the horizon, don't worry! 😅🤪
Well that title worked 😂😂 I'm watching 21 seconds after you ppsted
I know you all are working on the 50 states goal, but with in that and now that Clementine is %100! I think it’d be awesome to have a few “mini series” sprinkled in there such as
-From the States To Alaska!
-The Pacific Coast Highway!
-The Florida Keys (From the top of Florida to the very bottom!) which the keys is really big on camping and camp grounds
-Route 44
And finally the Baja Peninsula!
And then so random but if you enjoy roller coasters and amusement parks then take a trip to Cedar Point and stay at their camp ground! It’s right on Lake Erie! The beachfront is so beautiful, you’d swear you were at the ocean plus it’s such a good park!
The sense of accomplishment after finishing a project like this must be amazing.
Wes was pretty impressive. That van is starting to look appealing. looking forward to your upcoming states.
good lord time for a new RV
Clementine is a lovely old bus to travel in , enjoy you 2
This video shows that anything is possible if you're willing to put in the work.
I really enjoy watching the upgrades and repairs you all do.
So exciting to see you back in Clemintine - very happy for you and can't wait to see the adventures on the road!
Interior looks really good!😍
Curious what the total $$ with purchase , Reno’s and full repairs , you have invested into this RV?
The claim around $30,000
@@jeffhampton2767 wow. thank you
Probably the price of 2 new RVs by now when you add all the repairs and time and effort wasted on this.
@@jeffhampton2767 Think its a lot more than that
@@ws1814 Every time something goes wrong rather than having competent mechanics repair things properly they just buy new everything.. engine.. tranny... now a propane tank? haha
Thanks for sharing
Maybe the Breaking Bad Shouter was hoping to score something...🤷🏻♂️😅
Finally!!!! I am so happy for you two! I am ready to see the adventures you all get into 🧡💛🤍
Gutted got a little bit more organized for season 2. I ended up being one of the store runners for the van team 😂 That was tough!
Oh no way! Bless your heart for doing that...I'm pretty sure all the runners on the first season had major breakdowns. It was chaos 🙈
Glamorous b-roll of Wes working!🥰
I'm glad you're getting your borders in order.. including your hair cut. Look twice and save a life. 💙
Good Job.
Adventure! Yes please!
Woo hoo! Another successful Clementine fix! Looking forward to more adventures! ~Cara 😊
Sounds like your windshield wiper squeaky is coming from the linkages that go between the motor and the wiper arms. You need to access the wiper motor and oil all the pivot points on the linkages.
Thanks for another great video. I was so happy when you finally got the gas tank fixed. I would worry about you guys. I never liked gas but sometimes you have to do what you have to. No it's off to your next big adventure and I'm going to bug you on every new video until you install that door you need to get to the tank. ❤ you guys and as always safe travels!!
The squeaking wipers are probably the metal linkage beneath them. Use some grease and it’s gone.
That was the Reliable 100... they drive at least 100 miles around the area and come to Crane Mo for a meet up and lunch, yall should have joined in!!
My wife and I are fellow RV'ers and we love yalls channel! Currently living in NYC, but were about to hit the road after summer before this next winter because like clementine our toyota dolphin is a little "rough" around the edges and has had a rollercoaster of a journey.
Keep on truckin tho yall.
Oh boy! Best of luck with the travels! Those dolphins are amazing, by the way...we looked pretty seriously at some back in the day 😍
Woohoo! Glad you are on the road again in clementine
My parents bought a '88 Bounder when I was in elementary school. So many fun road trip memories! It looked just like that picture. The proper response too seeing one is "Bounder Alert! Bounder Alert!", or at least that's what my family said on road trips when we saw another Bounder on the road.
Clementine needs an "old school" custom walnut steering wheel to finish the cockpit. That old stock leather wrapped steering wheel just doesn't cut it.
Glad your back at what u do best traveling YEAH 💯
This will make your windshield stop the noise. Put a little on your wipers too. Peace. CERAKOTE® Rapid Ceramic Glass Coat Windshield Kit (8 oz Bottle)- Max Strength Rain Repelling Coating - Easy to Apply - Includes Glass Cleaner - Long Lasting Ceramic Formula - Maximum Water Shedding
OKAY!!! From here on out you are GOOD TO GO!!! Luv Ya'll
Love your adventures so much and what you've done to Clementine! Have you ever repaired the front right corner where the semi hit you? Maybe I've missed it... good luck and all the best on your trips, you're such a great and fun couple! ☀️
Sadly, we have not. We're not quite mentally prepared to rip the trim off all over again. Luckily it doesn't leak and didn't cause any internal damage, so we're just living with for now. One day we'll get around to it, though!
The sqeaky wipers are the linkage under the cowl cover just spray some white lithium grease on the connection points easy fix!
I decided on some happy utube. Saw u guys and said yay! Clicked on it and read the title . . . you're killing me
@4:42 SMOKIN! Glad to see you upgrading that vintage tank! I have 2 of them I'm working on now. That new one seems a bit smaller though. The door is a Great idea and most old Class A's have them to access the tank.
Come on up to the Canadian Rockies! Just in time for spring! 🇨🇦
I like fixing up.
Eric is giving off major Micheal Nesmith (The Monkees) vibes!
Oh it's friggin ON! The proper road tripping, I mean. So happy you guys were able to get the new propane tank sorted! Here's hoping you can see some equivalent to the world's biggest ball of yarn or something. I love you're exploring the US!
Probably my fav vlog! "it just keeps goin'!" LOL
instead of making a new door, couldn't you just get hoses and extend the connectors to the side and mount them on the side?
The Roaming Radfords gave you a shout out from Sweden when deciding what to watch on RUclips
Another project in the books. Always nice that people that you have met can help you out. Now that it's done though I'm looking forward to some travel content
Zapomnieliście zdemontować drabinę i reling na dachu, a to u mnie było przyczyną zalania min tyłu auta. To należy zdemontować, wyczyścić, dać nowe śruby, klej. Chyba że przeoczyłem odcinek w którym to robicie. To cholernie istotne! Pozdrawiam.
Hope you guys are having an amazing Saturday you guys rock love watching your videos❤❤🙂
Wes did a pro job - a thing of beauty!
Honestly I used enjoy your international travel videos a lot and you two are pretty awesome too, but now it’s like y’all are just stuck with this thing. And it has become so monotonous. Y’all probably have like 5 videos that’s saying “we are finally gonna hit the road” but the RV just keeps on breaking. This is visible in the number of subscribers too coz it’s barely increasing during last 1.5 year or so. I really hope y’all get back to traveling full time and hopefully to completely new countries! Best of luck! ❤ 🍀
This.
It sounds like it's finally done but who knows. Also the 50 state thing will slow down their exploration of new countries
Love you guys enthusiasm!! We are subscribed and really enjoy watching along!! Happy travels and hope to see you on the road!!❤
Can’t wait be safe
You definitely went to the right man in Wes.
If you don't start your next video out of Kansas with the classic "Toto, we are not in Kansas anymore" then I will really be disappointed from your pun-level.
Sweet ride!
RUclips suggested your pre renovation tour and you can definitely be proud of the job you did ! It’s fantastic
Thanks, Emilie! While we loved those old retro vibes, she's much more functional and clean now :)
You guys are the best. PLEASE - never change the sign-off line.
Hello guys, nice video. I just finished reading your book and want to thank you for the great tips and advise, I already started implementing some of your strategies (like this one😅) Thank you very much and wish you all the best.
Y’all caught me!! In the shop AGAIN! 😂
Good job guys
great job on the tank
This RV constantly needing work,kinda reminds me of The House That Tom Hanks bought in the movie "Money Pit"😂
There’s a certain RUclips car mechanic who’d call it a “Rolling money pit” or a “rolling pile of junk”
But you’ve reached the end of one journey and Clementine and Ruby are complete and ready to go!
This has been an emotional and draining investment! Hope it finally works out for you guys!
My wife and I love your videos. Wanted you to know, Eric has a doppelganger that plays 2nd violin for the Alabama Symphony Orchestra. Either that or Eric has way more free time for practice and performances. 😅
WICHITA, and I MISSED you again!!?
I was kind of watching and heard "Wichita" and perked up as that's my town!
Why didn't buy a LP tank from Manchester tank? Made here in the USA in Quincy Illinois! I would not trust that tank.
So happy for you guys. Happy travels.
are the tanks the same size? the new one looks a little smaller? a rule of thumb , when you changed the tank it a good idea to change the hoses to the stove/oven and if your refrigerator is propane/electric also if you do change the hoses all around i would install a plug in for the outside just incase you want to run a stove top burner outside? or a propane bbq outside, ,./ i never cooked in the camper, stove cooking is outside on a 3 burners camp chef stove, the reason is the smell in the camper after cooking.,? it make you eat all the time? munchies?
So glad all is well. Maybe a blessing on Clementine could not hurt 🙏!!!!!
I love your motor home, and I'm glad you got it fixed right now! 😃
Hi Adventures What's up Eric and Allison We love how you've got things together Listen you might want to pass this along ( PRO TIP ) Tooth paste on your windshield wipers will stop the SQUEAKS and noises ad clean the glass Mirrors too
Tooth paste, eh?! You learn something new every day! Thanks 🙌
Bravo! Awesome post!
Fantastic, what a guy , regards from England 👍
Awesome! 👍❤️
"With great RV transcontinental powers, comes great & powerful maintenance responsibilities"
Wes is epic i miss him doing videos
Make sure you put lock tight on the bolts
Oh my....come and travel again to Philippines...❤
Thanks for the free ideas! As someone who owns a 1980’s coachmen Catalina class C, I’ve been looking to replace my propane tank but I couldn’t find an exact replacement. So now I’m just gonna get one like yours and cut down the brackets and weld them back! Luckily I can weld and fabricate everything like Wes can, so that should be no problem, I just always get sketched out with using welding stuff and grinders around propane/gas tanks. But oh well, it must be done. Anyhow, great work as always yall, can’t wait until you get to Florida eventually, my home state is always a bunch of fun for RV’ers! Be safe out there on the road, and take care!
~Will
Edit: also one last thing I’ve learned about my rig that was odd, was for the wipers. These RV windshields don’t seem to like modern beam wipers, and prefer the cheap old metal style. So for example like if you go to an Advance Auto parts store, the wiper blades they call “exact fit trico” in a red box, that are like $15-$16, work the best with my rig that I’ve ever seen. Which is weird, but I will take it, even though I have to replace them every half year since they are cheap. Anyhow, best of luck to y’all, and take care!
Glad we could give you some inspiration for the propane tank! We were searching for a direct replacement for years and never could find one, so we just started thinking outside the box and eventually found the white one we installed. Now obviously we'd have preferred not having to weld and fabricate everything, but it ended up better than the original tank! We're pretty jealous you can do all the welding yourself. Best of luck with it all!
And thanks for the tip! We're willing to try anything to get those wipers to stop screeching 🙉
Yeah, it’s hard to find direct replacements for a lot of stuff on these older rigs, it’s best to just get used to fabricating stuff to make them fit because I find it to be easier that way. And y’all might be jealous I can weld and fabricate, but my speciality is Automotive and metal works. I’m super jealous of how nice y’all’s wood working skills are! Clementine looks insanely great on the inside compared to what my RV does. Mine may function really well, but my girlfriend still doesn’t like how ugly the inside is haha! Of course I didn’t completely strip mine like y’all did, but I am trying to refresh the cabinetry, floors, and walls. It’s not easy though with the wood, at least not as easy as y’all make it look on your Chanel! Having the right tools though is important, in any perspective, so that helps a lot.
But yeah I hope you guys figure out your wiper issue, I know mine don’t squeak, but I also have the original windshield, and I know y’all’s is new. So good luck on it, I’m sure you guys will figure something out, and thanks for the response as well, I do appreciate it!
Y’all take care and have fun on your adventure!
Hopefully the repairs are over (truthfully they never are even with a house) but kinda still rooting for the addition of an awning. You’ll love it!
So thrilled 4 yall. Yall are livin the dream
Apply Rainex to your windshield! Make sure you follow the directions!
