Eric i just looked at the load rating of your tire "c". that tire is to small for your weight class. You should be running a "F or G" rated tire. Check the placard on your RV for the correct tire.
That’s a good catch! Good recommendation, too.
If you look up that exact tire and size, it's a load range E(10ply weight rating).
he going find out ones he have a blow out on the road from overload.
Looks like some shaddy tire place.
Those tires say LT so they’re 10 ply
Does anyone know why the door was pried open when you can get in through the two cab doors?
Watch his previous video.
Try a used door and frame from a junkyard 😅
For views
It failed locked but as a mechanic I personally would have used a 2" or 3" hole saw and gone right thru the middle of the door lock 10 minutes no door or frame damage.
@trentonjohnson2948 he wasn't locked out.he could get in the rv just not through the door
Maybe don't do anymore demonstrations of "You don't have to slam your RV door this hard."
I still can’t get over what you guys did to your RV’s doorframe with a crow bar…
No s**t!! He should have just unlocked one of the cab doors, instead of destroying the camper door!! Lol
It looks like someone took the jaws of life to it.
@@RCRegob-mr8my That's what happens when 420 is evolved!
Its easy to fix, dont worry about it so much
Some of these door locks have a plastic gear in them and if brakes you can’t get the door open
Good lord! Replace the door and the frame!!
I know this is probably a dumb question. The side door thing happened to me on my Class C. Why didnt you enter through one of the front doors, take off the mounting screws and inside door handle/plate and use a screwdriver to unlatch it from the inside.?
Owner/operator is _ _ _ _!
Looks like some thief tried to break into the coach.
Y’all act like it’s a hard/expensive fix…
I just don't understand why you destroyed the door and door frame when you could of entered thru the passenger r the riverside door doesn't make sense stop and think once in a while.
They were all locked all the doors were locked
No they werent
Thankfully it was just a tire and not a bearing, wheel hub, axle, differential, etc.!!
I sure wish you would stop investing in that junker Bigfoot as you’re just only starting to have more headaches for a 21 year old RV, which is end of life by the way. Go get a super C built the way you want and you will have a rig that’s 10 times more usable than what you have now. Safe travels, my friend.
HEllo Karen, know it all, let Eric have his choice on what he wants and how he puts his funds. If he wants to keep Bigfoot, how does this concern you, oh, your so called advise, how about you buy one yourself,.....
@@Postitnews2024little bit aggressive of a reply, projecting people who told you what to do all life? Or is my reply just like yours now?
@@Postitnews2024 i’ll tell you this, if I do buy one it’ll either be brand new or less than 2 to 3 years old. And still have a lot of life left in it. I look at 21/22-year-old vehicles as end of life.
Can’t believe you don’t have a jack for your RV. Maybe you should stop with getting toys and get some necessities. You think?
What a mistake to buy this vehicle I would’ve kept the other one. It was in top shape. I’ve done the same thing live and learn.
How much do the old lady's owe for the tires
ROCK SOLID BRO! I just got new tires on my car and I can relate with you on the good feeling that gives. As always stay safe, enjoy and know that Jesus loves you.
Jesus sure does
Better check the date code of the tires.Sometime a good deal is not a good deal.🤷♂️
I told you the mom and pops shops will get it done somehow. The big chain places wouldn't even entertain the idea of using your own bottle jack.
Shawn is a very good friend to you. Cherish that friendship.
These older rigs… It’s time you build a custom rig for your needs not relying on corporate America anymore.
Small fabricators on a proven chassis is a way to go.
So happy to see your spirits lifted Eric. Nice to see new shoes on the big foot and a new lock. God Bless you bro.
They make air chucks and air gauges for dually's, so you can get to the inward facing valve stem, google dually air chucks
Why are you putting on AT tires? They don't get s**t for mileage on a motorhome! Besides, that pile won't go far off road anyway!!
It’s the lessons we learn from the past that show us the right path to the future! Safe travels Eric and kitties 🙏
Try getting out of the RV.
Maybe then the jack would lift it. 😁
Joking 😅
When you said I was looking at a used tire.I said no Eric get new tires and you did good call keep it up
same here, my hubby and i were saying that to the tv as we watched it, lol.
I'm guessing you had locked your keys in the motorhome is the reason you guys went crazy to pry the main door open . That I could see if you couldn't just open a front door and go take the latch apart from inside .
Eric, while you are having new shoes put on the big foot, please, have them add steel valve stems designed to allow you to check the pressures of all tires
We did that on our class C.
Absolutely
I had custom bent valves made for my duallies in Quartzsite. No extensions- such a blessing!
Get a flat body dolly and a body hammer and flatten out the door frame and a little black paint . GET OUT OF THAT WET CRAP ! Seems like a great time to head to the great N.W
Just say gas is too $$$ and you can’t afford it, lol😂
Really…..they have been saying the next hurricane season will be the worst ever for a decade or more….
If it walk like a duck….
Talks like a duck….
Swims like a duck…
And smells like a duck….
It’s a duck…
Same is true for excuses
With the Earth's magnetic field weakening as we move towards the magnetic pole shift, the weather WILL get more intense.
Good looking set of tires! You look tired (No Pun Intended) Get some rest My Friend!
I'm a welder by trade if that was my RV door I would build my own door cover it with diamond plate so it looks really cool
Something a lot of people overlook is changing the rear end oil. I don't know if you have done that on your RV, but chances are good that the last owner never did it.
When I buy a new to me vehicle I change all the fluids including the coolant, transmission, diffs, transfer case and engine oil.
Get the rear end fluid changed by a person that removes the cover and cleans out the sump. Should do that every 24K .
Get bolt on metal valve stems installed on the wheels and put loctite on the valve stem to extensions so they don’t loosen up when you remove the tpms sensors to air up your tires.
Yes you should
Wanna bet the brake fluid is still original and never has been flushed either?
The spare under the vehicle should last longer than the ones mounted being it’s not exposed to the sun. The sun is the real enemy of tires
What was wrong with your slide that didn't work
Right??!! Hmmmm
Yes,,, it’s not what you know it’s WHO YOU KNOW ‼️‼️‼️‼️
You've owned that RV how long? And never checked the tire pressure? And have no TPMS system? Seriously?
I’m happy for you,new tires hurray 🇺🇸😎
Another banger dude! Love the updates! Just got through eating homemade Doritos locos tacos at home while watching 😂. Granted, I was sitting in the outdoor kitchen overlooking the farm so I’m not all that jealous of being on the road right now 😂.
Keep it up man and be safe.
Anything can be fixed with a little bit of gorilla glue 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Louis Rossman will probably be able to rapair the Laptop. There are other guys, and I don't know Louis personally, but the way he acts and speaks on YT would make me send my unit to him, if I had to. And You, especially might even plan a trip in his area, shortening the time you have to be without the Laptop...?
Am sure the tire replacements is a relief. Yeah, CVK is a stickler for code dates on all tires. Years back here in Central FL, there was a tire commercial that said "Tires ain't pretty!" To me, they are gorgeous. Be safe. Life is a journey. Enjoy it and kitties as they share it with you.😊
Eric loved the video and I don’t like to see you upset which I could tell. It’s funny to see people leave messages about your faults but guess what we all have them so just move forward and keep doing what you do. You’re obviously doing something right to keep people tuned in. I would have loved to see you if you headed east but I get it. Take care my friend I’ll be waiting for the next episode.
Want to have a gay relationship with Eric
I spent $1500 on a new set of tires for my E-450 shuttle bus. Then I spent another $900 for two used rims and new tires to have spares!
Yeah, it's amazing. Look at the comments. Absolutely astounding absolutely astounding.
Eric, what ever you do, put metal valves on the wheels. NOT the rubber ones........The rubber valves will leak with the stainless steel hoses.....
Hey Eric wow Sean is a Rock star That's pretty sweet with the tires and the shop that gets it done way to go
Eric could you please one day introduce use to this Eric guy you always speak of. I been watching you for many years and not one time have we ever met him.
Have the exact same cactus scratching post and my cats are obsessed with it! We're on the 3rd one now, because they keep destroying it. 😸
When you think about how bad that tire is, maybe all the other issues were blessings to keep you from being on the road and potentially have an accident.
So happy for you. I have missed so many episodes. I wonder why you are in this RV and what happened to the last one? Always an adventure I guess.
Just go through the front door
Haloa from Amsterdam, nice best buy, shop local,instead of advertising the big online one... and protect the back side of your tv against heat, being behind a window in the sun....anyway, put a thermometer behind it, film it, let us know...because i am really curious... good luck
You should have gotten out of the RV That would have taken 300lbs off it
There was an issue with Apple MBP M1 units and screens. Check the blogs
Glad you found that bubble on the tire, it could have torn up the rig if it let go. Keep the good stuff coming buddy.
Well if your gonna go back west be careful around the Texas Oklahoma area they have had a lot of bad tornadoes 🌪 recently 😮😢
Look up how many Hurricanes on the east coast Virginia up to maine turn into topical storms
careful, you are gonna make Kevin jealous of your tires
I don't think tires from the China or Vietnam plant will get him too excited.
that has got the be the most frustrating part of RV life, having so many shops refuse to work on them. There is a buissness oppertunity for someone who wanted to start up a chain of national RV repair shops that only work on RV's
The Hercules tires that you had on were good tires. They are G 14ply
🤣 you have a umbrella malfunction
i think they need a 3 ton jack for a rv. i ues a 3 ton jack lifts it up just fine.
Is Shearburns Ice-cream Co still in Alton?😅
Hurricanes??? We don't have hurricanes on the east coast!!!! LOL
how's Tarra? Eric everything you add wood wise increases your camper laden weight. also remember think before you mention stuff here to drive legal you have to have a jack to lift your camper to change the spare you have that is perfect. so I know you will have something in the trailer. to change a blowout. your lock on the door do not advertise your weakness mate. it makes content but let's others know in more ways than one how to get to you. stay safe all three of you.
I'm yelling at the video, "you better get those new tires."
Do you have Waggle? It keeps track of the temperature in the rig. There is a fee for the year.
That's correct Eric, you will have to rebuild this rv like the last rv, you must have the attitude of a marine, we don't plan, we improvise, adapt and overcome!
me trying to wipe off a spot i thought was on my computer @7:00 🤭
Change fluid at 60,000 if you tow is Ford recommendations.
Buying a new one is my recommendation
Those are mud tires....you need to get out Boon-docking in the Mud !
Yeah but Bigfoot is 4 season and it’s really nice! Glad modified auto could help! Enjoy all the adventures ahead! 🎉 can’t wait for more Disney adventures too! ❤🎉
The East Coast will miss you. 😥
But on the bright side, maybe it wont rain so much. 🤣
Awesome news, so glad you have great friends at Modified Auto and happy you had Willies close by to buy and install the new tires, a good day!!!
Eric, I can't believe how often you have rain around you wherever you go? 😅
Come back to Tx will gladly meet u at steele creek.
Eric, I know your life has its ups and downs and it sometimes seems like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. But you are blessed with an adventurous life and know that you give so many of us a wonderful amount of entertainment and we get to live your life on the road , by proxy . Thank you and the kitties.
Keep smiling, Eric! Be safe. Be well. ❤
❤ I'm so glad you finally got your tires❤
Hello Eric, glad to see you got things fixed up. Staying positive is a BIG plus.
Glad things are slowing working out. Been praying for you and your "kid's ". We are half/full-time campers also. Have great day.
im going to a swap meet this weekend. there is a guy there that normally has the simulators. i can look. i bought a set last year for about 40 bucks
im so glad you got all new amazing looking tires! I always say “where there’s a will, there’s a way”. 😊
Do the full 6 tires! Awesome!
I can tell you’re practicing being calm in a bad situation. Doing great Eric!
I knew you would get it together Eric! I had faith in you to figure out how to get repairs done! 👍 I never gave up! Please never stop making the best RV videos ever!!! 👍 thank You! 👍
I am Praying For Your Van 🚐 To Get Better Soon Eric 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Go to Michigan, specifically the west coast side on Lake Michigan.
Way to go! Great to see your progress and life throws us stuff. It’s been great watching your videos
You’ll find a way, Eric. You always do. Best wishes to you and your kitties, take care.
Can not believe you did not check the air presser in the rear tires after buying it and driving 1000 miles.
Of course I checked the air pressure. I even explained this in the video that I had to PAY a shop to take off the outside tire in order to do so and I had wanted to change that.
@@nomadicfanatic ok
I stand corrected.
I bought used tires and found they were out of date. On a trip to Fl one by one they blew out. I will never by used tires again.
Sweet deal.😊
What happened with the slide-out?
💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜
Eric go to a truck stop they have tire pressure gauge that will be able to connect to the outside tire and the inside.
God was watching over you, so tires could be fixed. Prayers, love & blessings for you and your family!
Hi!
Hi Eric, Sorry to hear you are having so much trouble but its always nice to get new tyres. A couple of videos ago you said you had slideout problem but no mention since. Did you get it fixed?
So sorry was hoping for the trip to work out! Enjoy what you do finally do!
100% on those tires, i got quoted $350 a piece on my truck, In northern indiana. Id jump on getting that work just done and handled....edit: its smart to have a jack on hand so you can work on a tire and have a spare stored in the trailer anyhow. I sat waiting for 6 hours on triple a in downtown indy before....if i had that stuff id have been gone in under an hour
