Just a comment from an old grandma here... Instead of trying to hold the pipe so it doesn't go back in the hole use vise grip tightened on pipe I stead. Pipe & vise grips can't fall I to hole. Frees up one more hand to use where needed. This probable doesn't make sense to anyone but me😊
Above all the other dang Vida I've watched... just needed to see hands on the dismount and what REALLY to expect! Great job ol bud! Sincerely camper tower climber!
Thank you so much for making and posting. I popped ours off today while replacing the water filter. It was all plastic and sheared right off! This old woman still has some hand strength... Anyway, you’ve got a new and thankful subscriber. Best to you and yours and safe camping!
Thanks for watching... this was my second video I ever made... I like to think the quality is better these days. Hopefully you will find more helpful stuff around here.
I really needed this. I can't get my new pump to work either. Hope I dont have to remove my new water heater again. Think I'll feed new big water hose (shares cavity with the water heater / too far to reach from Inside) and vent to the inside, wrap around my water heater and drop it down through the floor to the tank. Gonna replace the fill and vent hose too. I need a vid to show me how to get to the boondock water tank. Got one? Thks for this info.
Jrhnhemp sorry but I don’t have a video on the tank. That will have a lot of variation based on the camper. As far as the pump.... is it getting power to it? Is it making noise like it’s trying to run? Sometimes (more with the older ones, they need to be primed.
@@GimpyCamper Thanks for your response!...well I think my city water check valve failed. My new pump wont turn off. I have a new one of those new water hookups with check valve coming. Found another vid that mimicked my problem on my 2008 Frontier Hyperlite issue. Replacing that check valve solved the same problem on his 2008 rv. Pump troubleshooting guide suggests that's my problem too. So far, I've replaced the cooling unit on my frig, replaced my water heater, and my water pump. Just gave my ac a good coil cleanup and condensation drip pan cleanup. It works but it's old too. When my pumps working right and I change out both water hook ups, I'm gonna replace my ac with a new one. I use this rv for per diem work and all the rv repair shops are so expensive and so backed up with scheduled work, if my ac went out, it would take me out of the trailer for a month (That means a hotel). AND cost a fortune. For approx $750, I can get a new one that I can install in my own yard in less than a day. Regarding the water tank... I think I just have to remove the belly plastic cardboard to find my fresh water tank. I found a vid showing what they look like when uncovered. Hose clamps and new hoses are in route too for my fresh water tank/inlet. (If I go in there, everything's getting replaced. The original lasted 8 yrs) Thanks again!
Good job, thanks to you I am going to pull mine out and see if it male or female before I order the new one, and I really appreciate your tip to keep it from leaking with the elbow thingy until I get the replacement. I would have been dropping f bombs.
The magic of video... lol... not really, this was like my second video and I really didn’t know what I was doing but apparently it still helps people lol. I’ve come a long way in the quality of my videos since then imo... lol
Is it possible to take the net part out? The just the net but the circle piece connected to the net? Was wanting to take mines off to pour some cleaning solution for my water tank & put back on .
Yes it just pops out but I’m not sure what type of camper you could fill by hand through the city water connection, the ones that fill through the hose there require pressure. The separated tank fill doesn’t have a screen
Thankfully, I was able to reach it. That was my worry the whole time. That did happen when I replaced the side marker lights. I had to cut an access hole in the storage....
Hmmm. So you are saying that water overflows out of the water fill. Hmm. When does this happen? Is it when you have the pump or when you are on City water
@@GimpyCamper when I'm boondocking. No water hook up. It just drips and I've tried adjusting that little screen and even that white thing inside a bit. Also my pump cycles about every 10 minutes. Just a little bleep. I checked all around the pump and it's completely dry.
sure is dwindled after being on a couple of seconds. This is happening not on the water pump. Just using my city water source. I have been able to take a shower this way and not have to use my pump. Now I cannot with a trickle after that initial burst of pressure. I l looked for leaks inside and outside and have found none. Any ideas ?
I guess the first thing I would do is disconnect the water and try putting water in the tank and using the pump. If that fixes the issue it would be low pressure coming into the camper. You can try removing the pressure reducer if you have one as well.
@@GimpyCamper After looking at the regulator at the source , I noticed some debri clogging it up. I had an extra one so I replaced it and will clean the old one up. Pressure is back to normal.
@@GimpyCamper I did learn that if you replace your city water intake check valve to keep the O ring and screen because you can then place that into a camco regulator to catch any debri. Save you about 12.00 dollars.
When you say you're going to do something "real quick," then do so. You had so much dead time in the video that you got very dull to watch. We don't care if there's a dog that doesn't like what you're doing, how often you sprayed for bugs or other BS. Also, it would have been a nice extra to show how you retrieved the connection after you lost the grip and it went back up into the trailer wall.
@@GimpyCamper I've had a chance to watch your more recent ones. I'd have to disagree though because all are juicy, filled with knowledge and obtaining that is priceless. Thank you again for sharing the how to's when it comes to RV life. I'm a full timer and some parts are original. I'm about the try the water inlet right now.

Wow....your video might have saved our motorhome!. We are going to follow your instructions and all the steps and will get back with the result.
And you did it without cussing!
Thank you for showing me how.
Thanks for watching one of my oldest videos 😂... apparently it helps a lot of people because they continue to watch it

Awesome thank u. I had just replaced the inlet valve kit because it looked old. Never had this problem
This is extraordinarily helpful by the way thank you
Thanks for the video dude. I am now feeling like I can do this!
It’s not too bad. I did this before I knew much about campers and before I knew almost anything about video making 😂
Thanks a bunch! You saved me a lot of time and prevented a lot of damage to my rig!
Glad it helped.

My thanks on my new camper are just behind the underbelly
TY. Just saved me over $100 repair
Great! That's why we are here. That was one of my first videos. Be sure to subscribe and stick around for more useful tips!
Most informative .
Thanks… this was one of our first videos

@@GimpyCamper do you have an email so I could send you a picture by chance?
i was waiting for you to slip and loose that piece in the wall. how did you get it back out! nice job though!!
Thankfully, I was able to reach it. That was my worry the whole time. That did happen when I replaced the side marker lights. I had to cut an access hole in the storage....
@@GimpyCamper tackling that same job today,hope it goes well for me, thanks for the video info!!
If my holding tank is full when I pull that off will water come spraying out at me?
No, not unless you’re water pump is on.
Exactly what I need to know.
Glad it helped!
My water won’t go through my city connection into my camper and I’m wondering if I need to replace it due to the screen being clogged
Just pop the screen out with a screwdriver and clean it off
Thank u
How did you fish it out when you lost it in side???
It was a long time ago but I think I just used needle nose pliers
Great informative video !!
This was one of my first videos... It's also my most viewed video... lol
Why does my fresh water inlet leak? Does it have anything to do with city water valve?
Hmmm. So you are saying that water overflows out of the water fill. Hmm. When does this happen? Is it when you have the pump or when you are on City water

Sounds like there is a check valve leaking a little. Really not sure
How did you get the inside hose accessible again?
I was able to grab it with a pair of pliers
sure is dwindled after being on a couple of seconds. This is happening not on the water pump. Just using my city water source. I have been able to take a shower this way and not have to use my pump.

How did it go?

Could just screw a cap on when in a jam as well.
My temporary fix was a garden hose Y fitting with a shutoff valve.
Where did you get the splitter from?
My mistake went back and zoomed in got it now.
The splitter I had on temporarily? It’s just a garden hose splitter at any hardware store
Oh no, not weed killer!
It kills us and the bees!
That's nice telling people to use a metal scraper on the side of a fiberglass camper WRONG . BUTCHER .

Congratulations for pointing out mistakes on the second video I ever made that was years ago!
@@GimpyCamper No problem.. I hope they were helpful.
How did you get the wall piece out again?
If I remember right I was able to get it with some needle nose pliers… it was a long time ago
@@GimpyCamper You're awesome! Thank you for showing practical helpful real life RV issues. I appreciate you.
That was like my first video, the quality has gotten a lot better since then… lol
