- Visited my son Scott and checked out the modifications he made to his InTech Flyer Pursue RV. Scott did a great job explaining all his upgrades and modifications including a water tank, shower, heater, new batteries, TV and more. He's all set up for boon docking and overland as well as for staying in a campground. Thanks for watching.

I’m a Facebook friend of Scott’s in the Intech owner group. A bunch of us do mods to their trailers, but his onboard plumbing system is the gold standard for water mods. I’ve seen pics before, but it’s great to hear him explain the system. Thanks for sharing.
Hi MrRayMac, I agree, Scott's done a great job adapting his RV. Thanks for watching.
Exactly. Slide-out cooktops always seemed artificial, but people really seem to love them. I'm with the man in the video, by instinct, but his point about food messes, ants, and sliders is well-taken. I see that box on the front, and maybe I'd store my stove there, or maybe just my long tools, like shovels and whatnot. That slider just takes up space.
Hi Harry thanks for the constructive comments.
the water tank is a huge thing for me to mod i wish i knew a little fabrication. but thats awesome.
Hi Melvin, I’ll pass along your compliments to Scott. He’s in the process of customizing his new Lance Trailer now. I’ll do another vid when he gets a little further along.
Amazing setup and ingenuity! Thank you so much for sharing. I am looking at a 2019 and hoping the wife green lights buying it soon lol. I would need a good heater taking the camper on ski trips, love his water system upgrades as well.
Thanks John, hope you get the OK to purchase.
Love the Itech line, but Scott's rig is Amazing. Everything you need and some great advice on the ants.
Hi William, Thanks for the compliment I'll pass it along to Scott. I'm pretty proud of him.
Wow great info.
Very cool mods. I love the swing out mod for the shower. Going to copy that one for sure on my Flyer Plus.
Thank you
A Dometic 13,500/5000(heat strip) on a NO-BO 10.5/10.6 at 47 degrees got to 84 in about 30 minutes! So that's a good choice for your heat you chose 🌻
Those alpicool fridge are nice, this is the one costco selling rebadged as massimo... been running for 2 years very low power it uses and has been reliable it many off road trips... i got it for 300 on amazon with 3 year warranty but you can't beat costco warranty.
Hi HuskyNoob, Thanks for sharing. Scott just bought a new one I'll have to find out which one. He wants to do another video with his unit all set up. Coming soon.
I've done quite a bit. I'm actually using the wives account in FB but I was the one who posted my lithium,inverter,controller setup. Next will be the water system. I'm very limited in the compartment now so need to think of a different way
Great mods. I also like the way you explained how the water heater works. I added satellite radio to the trailer and have two Bose 101's for outside speakers. I was trying to come up with a outside waterproof speaker wire connector. Your use of RCA plugs inside the kitchen slide - you solved my connection problem. I ordered a soft-start capacitor for my A/C to help when I am using my Honda 2200 inverter. I will install it before I head to NM and CO in a couple of weeks.
Hi Ellis, thanks for the nice comments. Scott has added a few more mods to his trailer and wants to do another video so check back in a couple of weeks. Have fun in NM and CO, I'm headed to CO (Great Sand Dunes NP & Mesa Verde NP) next week.
Great tour of an ingenious trailer design! Well done fellas and thanks for sharing!!
Hi Terry, yep Scott did a great job modifying his RV. He tells me he's made a few more alterations and wants to do another video. Coming soon.
Great Video Larry ~ Tell Scott, Dennis and I were impressed! I am going to share it on my Facebook site for all my camping buddies.
Thanks Shiela. Scott is really enjoying his RV. Say hi to Dennis.
Hi, Scott. This video is so inspiring! I just bought a used Pursue. Can you share the parts list for your onboard water, including how you mounted the tank underneath, the pump and fittings for the shower and sink?
Hope you have great adventures! Cheers!
Was wondering how to get water on one of these…. Sink is so much more useful than the cook top…. Very cool mods!
Thanks ! Glad it helped
Aww, he's a little slow but adorable!
Great mods
Thanks David, Scott did an amazing job. He now has a Lance 1475 and is refitting it to suit his needs.
Bought my chase in Nov 19 man I get stopped and asked for tours, it’s crazy.
Have you had a problem with the rear door opening as you go down a bumpy road? Happened twice to me now. Getting ready to install a double OVS 270 awning so I can delete the leaky tent. I created a shower on the road side and use a atv sprayer tank with a rv shower head.
With all this there in no way I’d get rid of my chase love the thing.
No luckily I never did have any issues with any doors opening. Sold mine last year and purchased a lance travel trailer. We needed something larger for longer trips.
That is a lot of modification. I got a 22' travel trailer with separate shower and toilet, 40 gallons fresh, 30 grey and 30 black. I am planning to get rid of it and buying the Flyer Chase, so I can really take it off road. I have to compromise creature comfort for high mobility. Most importantly, no fixing, no maintenance, and nothing breaks.
On my truck, I haul a 3000 watt generator, torque wrench, impact cordless driver, lug nut socket, small table, electric stove for cooking, George Forman electric grill, 5 gallon water, a cooler for food and drink, and Mr. Coffee. Optional carry: small air compressor for tires and a battery jumper.
That is all I need for boon docking for a week at a time.
Hi Paul, sounds like you're all set. Go do it.
Where can someone go to have a sink installed/modified like you did on yours? Replacing the stove with a sink.
Not sure. Maybe a local handyman can help you. If your in Northern Alabama I could help you
@@scottypotty17 Thanks man. Your upgrades are cool for others to emulate.
Excellent!
Hi Ray, I agree Scott did a great job.
Possible to get the materials and schematics needed for the water system? Or go more into detail so I can try and reproduce? Just got my pursue today.
zom zom, I’ll send this over to Scott and see what he can come up with. We’ll also be doing another video soon as he’s added a few more mods and I’ll have him go into more detail.
Zomzom are you in the Facebook group “IntechRVownersgroup” ? On there you can put my name “Scott howell” in the search bar and there are more detailed posts of my individual upgrades.
@@scottypotty17 I'll join thanks for that
@@scottypotty17 I tried to join but for one reason or another the moderators are rejecting my request to join. What a bummer
zom zom That’s weird ! I wouldn’t give up surely they didn’t reject you on purpose
Impressive!! Way beyond most of my capabilities! Can I just buy yours!!::). Has InTech contacted you for a job there!!!?:).
Hey Jay, thanks for the vote of confidence. I'll pass along your comments to Scott.
Did your propane water heater come with the enclosure? If so, where did you purchase it?
Hi Kyle, Scott chose to make his own enclosure as the manufactured ones he found were pretty expensive.
How can we connect with Scott as well? Does he have a channel or Facebook? Love what you guys do and thanks for providing great content.
Hey Charles ! Attached above is a Facebook group I’m in. Search Scott Howell and you can see previous post of mine and contact me.
Wow
THE BOX ON THE TOUNG OF THE TRAILER LOOKS AFTERMARKET. IS SO, WHAT BRAND AND WHERE TO GET IT.
Hi Fair Rider, Scott purchased the battery box from Etrailer.com (trailer tool boxes) he cutout and added the water connection and air vent to the box.
Purchasing this and I will drop off to you Scott. Do everything on yours on mine and just charge me!
Hi Angel, man if he only had the time. I hardly get to see him now let alone if he went into business modifying rv's.
@@RetiredRoaming He def has an amazing talent!! Please tell him thanks for the video.
Maybe I missed it, but how does the pump turn off when not in use? Is there a pressure switch so the pump doesn’t burn up?
Hi Joe there is a pressure switch on the pump that shoots it 📴 at 55psi. Also a Manual power switch when not in use.
Where can I see some close ups of that swing arm he built for the shower awning? I need to build me something like that!!
If you have Facebook you can join the “Intech RV owners group” on there you can search my name “Scott Howell” and I have more detailed posts. Thanks for watching !
The heater doesn't give off carbon monoxide?
Hi zom zom, Camco states the heater is over 99% efficient and only emits water vapor and carbon dioxide which is harmless. They also recommend venting (opening a window slightly) primarily to deal with condensation issues. The RV has a carbon monoxide detector that the heater does not set off. It has set off my smoke detector upon initial lighting but then it’s fine. I’ve used the heater many times without a problem, always properly vented to recommended specs, if not more.
@@RetiredRoaming awesome, I shall buy one then and add a couple monodixe detectors for redundancy hahah, thanks for this info
@@RetiredRoaming is the wave 3 sufficient to warm the pursue?
Scott says it’s sufficient for him. I use a wave 6 in my 25 ft airstream and camped when the temps were in the 30s and it was fine. Colder than that I’m not going to be camping.
zom zom also make sure to keep the heater covered when not in use as it protects the heat matting element from contaminates.
WHAT KIND OF SUSPENSION DOES IT HAVE OR DOES IT HAVE AN AXEL??
Hi Fair Rider, the RV has an axel. Scott has not made any changes to the manufacturers design.
He mentioned bolts are holding the shower case. Does he have buts on the other side? Trying to figure out how to mount this with just bolts
Yes I have two stainless bolts that pass through a 1X3 aluminum tube that runs horizontally as part of the frame. I used nuts and washers on the inside. There is a 1 vertical frame tube that runs down center that I used self tapers to screw down center of box And then siliconed the box to aluminum skin of camper. You can get the frame schematic on the website
@@scottypotty17 oh nice, didn't know you can get the frame schematic. What specific water tank are you using beneath and have you liked it so far, is draining and cleaning simple to do?
@@scottypotty17 hey Scott, what sink and faucet did you purchase that fit the grill area?
Explore and discover
Hi David, and Pursue.
@@RetiredRoaming i just picked up the 2022 explore. Toy hauler. Highly priced at $25000 but built well and has a bit more space van stand up in it and the pop out sleeper. Your mods are great i love the sink you did but enjoy the cooler it stays cold all weekend on a single battery can freeze or just refer mode. Great mods and video
@@DavidRamirez-fe5dd Good luck with your new Explore.
Wondering about the five gallon propane tank holder on the side. Is that something he made or was it purchased somewhere. Does he travel with the tank in the holder or just put it in when he’s parked. Would love to do this to our Intech Explore.
Hi Debby, Scott made the propane tank holder and travels with it on the RV. You can contact Scott Howell on the Intech owner group's facebook page
@@RetiredRoaming thanks so much!!
Hi Larry: I don't know a whole lot about RV's and campers. Just curious how much of a role do solar panels play on these campers? It would seem to be an economical way to generate power. Hope that you are doing well. Cheers!
Hi Kennedy, solar panels would be an excellent way for Scott to keep his batteries charged when he boondocks for more than a couple of days. He's looking into purchasing a small "suitcase" style system for that purpose.
Have you heard about the 2nd Annual Intech Flyer Gathering at Land Between the Lakes?
Yeah I believe I read about it on the Intech page. Sold my Intech end of last year so I’m not sure if they will allow me to come with my new rig.
@@scottypotty17 I’m in charge of the thing. Why did you seek? What’s your new rig?
@@scottypotty17 I’m in charge of the thing. Why did you seek? What’s your new rig?
It’s a Lance 1475. Needed something larger for longer trips and 4 season camping.
@@scottypotty17 that’s pretty fancy looking
Quick question did that Fulton tongue jack didn't the bolt pattern line up with the factory holes? The stock one is absolute garbage thank you my friend great trailer great video
Yes the jack holes lined up. It definitely made a difference form the original jack.
@@scottypotty17 thank you very much have a great day
I'm back. Do you know what size bed sheets to get for the two mattresses it comes with?
Not sure. For some reason Scott didn't get the mattress with his unit.
I didn't understand the name given for the shower enclosure. Please reply with name
Hi Benjamin, it's the Quick Pitch en-suite shower enclosure. Go to "quickpitch.com.au/our-brands/quick-pitch/quick-en-suite/" to check it out. Thanks for watching. Check back in a few weeks for another overview of Scott's RV as he's added some more mods.
Is he running a single or dual lithiums?
Hi Zom Zom, no Scott is using two Six volt lead acid batteries wired in series to give him 12 volts. Says they give him plenty of power for a weekend without having to recharge.
@@RetiredRoaming oh yes, forgot about that. Thanks! Have you done any mods on yours yet?
zom zom, I installed a larger (camco wave 6) catalytic heater in mine (or I should say Scott did). Check out ruclips.net/video/nJfRFU0MtMA/видео.html
WELL SHOOT. NO LINKS TO ANY OF THE UPGRADES.
Oops. If you have any particular mod you need info on let me know and we'll see what we can come up with.
Do you know how to get the side out kitchen out? I need to get into that spot on my Explore to do some repairs.
I believe there is latches on the slide rails that allow it to slide all the way out. I never removed mine I’m not sure.
@@scottypotty17 can’t find any latches
