Your spot on with the tail dragging! I have about 8' of overhang and have the same issue. I added skid rollers, at least it prevents damage to the rear of the RV.
Some of us are fans for Eric and Jax, some come for the RV content. I’ve become a fan of Eric and I’d watch his channel no matter the content. Eric is such an amazing, funny and all around good guy!!! I’m now emotionally invested in Eric the person, not just the show. It feels like I’m keeping in touch with a friend vs watching a RUclipsr. Thanks for all you do Eric!
As others have said Eric, just post when you want to, plenty of us will be here to watch them whenever they come out Sometimes I have to miss a couple but I usually end up going back to catch up on the ones I haven’t seen
Eric Don’t let people tell you what to post, we really like your videos the way they are and the adventures you show us and every few days is fine. Thanks for all the effort
The only RV Vlogs I'm subscribed to are You & Carolyn's RV Life. I find both your channels to be entertaining, educational and very informative. I never miss any vids from either of you.
We look so forward to your videos. We don’t care what the content is. We find you very entertaining. You are one of the best RUclipsrs in our opinion. ❤️
Just finished watching this video. You were a bit down at the end, but know that we enjoy watching your videos, some more than others! Definitely video and share your step removal and installation experience. We enjoy the quirky videos as well. Keep the faith!
Pinstriping is a art. Cool van & LDI seems to have issues with quality. I have a friend having issues with her steps and leveling system all failed at once. Her RV is a 2019 - makes me rethink brands to buy.
Love the pin stripe work. Amazing craftsmanship. I enjoy your videos whatever you put up i like variety and quirky things i also like your sense of humour. I learnt alot about RV toilet paper. Now I know what toilet to use
I dont chime in much, but we love all and any of your videos. to cut them out will make people move on to other videos. keep them coming. you fix things that no one fixes, you have fun off the cuff subjects, but i have noticed that you are not marking/liking or replying to those that post how much they care about you here, so maybe try to fit that in if you can... we love your show. :-)
Hi Eric .. 10 plus years full time so you likely have heard about the "Caster Wheels" for RVs... but for those who may not know about them.. They are wheels that are mounted to the RV main frame and can swivel and roll when the RV enters/exits a driveway or traveling off road where there may be dips or low spots that would cause the rear end of an RV to drag on the ground. They come in different sizes and are built extremely tough to withstand the weight of the RV as they come in contact with the ground. The first time I saw them was about 30 years ago at an RV park I was at.. A class "C" came in for the night and I took time to look them over and talk to the driver about how they work.. He said he loved them and highly recommended all types of RVs have them installed.
Not into everything but, really like 'quirky' & the chance to see something irl through your lens. The craftsmanship in the vlogs is a subconscious benchmark while viewing other content, still need to check in on y'all to make sure your doing ok. The online folks are part of my life too. It is a pleasure to share 'adventures' with someone doing it "My Way". Plus learning is something that goes both ways & is another experience you choose to share. Thanks for that too.
FYI on the RV steps. We have an old 2003 HR Admiral and I do most of the maintenance myself. Including the steps, annual greasing the steps, drivetrain, slide gears, and spring joints with the appropriate grease or lube is key to prevent or reduce premature component failure.
The videos that you put extra effort into making really show it, very entertaining. The day to day videos are equally as entertaining because of the content...you're just a barrel of fun with a very big cat...thanks Eric. 👍👍👍😁😎
I love watching your all your repairs and modifications. Don’t listen to negative comments. You’re videos are perfect. I love your long videos. I never thought it was to long because I just love watching them.
the more i study, the more i plan, the same answer returns to me... Simple is easy. The minute you start adding "fancy stuff" like electric stairs, slideouts, etc...just one more future headache, just one more 'thing to do'. My friends always say to me.."why do you focus only on the fundamentals?" Because the fundamentals work, and require less upkeep and maintenance. Once i get my rig, I'm removing or dsiabling all the "fancy"...let's go simple and straigtforward.
I did't see the strair failure -- what happened/ If they just "got floppy" this is usually repairable .... In many cases the gear box gets gummed up. The way they work is there is a control board which senses when the steps are at the end of their travel (Fully out, fully in) by detecting amount of power pulled by the motor. When the gears get gummed up, it draws enough current the control board THINKS the stairs are fully retracted or extended. The fix is simple...First, DISCONNECT ALL POWER and drop the steps. You do NOT want fingers involved with steps and moving, it will cut off digits! Once you pull the gear box (You d on't even have to remove the stairs) simply open the gearbox and remove all the old grease and clean things thoroughly. Replace the grease (White lithium is what I used) and reinstall.... The stairs will work like new again..... YES --- Lippert is bad news. No quality control at all. BUT -- a lot of things are fixable. Just remember, most of their stuff is designed to be worked on by low skilled labor on a manufacturing floor --- if they can build it...YOU can probably fix it.
You know the cool thing about your channel? I'm not a big RV guy but I come back to watch Nomadic Fanatic. I like Erik because he's a cool smart dude. You could literally do anything for RUclips at this point and as long as it's something you find interesting and fun and you want to do it then I think most people would keep watching. I enjoy Travel which is how I found your channel years ago but if you did anything else and I seen it show up on RUclips or a news feed I would be interested to figure out what this guys doing. So just something to think about dude, you have allot more pull than you think. You're flexible and you don't have to be stuck in one category. You can do many things I believe in you, as long as you personally find it fun and interesting to do.
Thanks for the video man. I like them more often, but understand the gap probably builds a little more demand which would make people watch the whole video. I am sure it's a balancing act for sure.
Eric I have been following you for several years.I am a full timer too and have a coach very similar to yours. Mine is a 2016 Newmar Canyon Star. The truck parts are almost identical. Your coach is experiencing normal stuff. Unfortunately ours are getting up there in years and more importantly miles. Enjoy your videos a lot. My recommendation is just do your thing. The majority of people really like it. There will always be few “wing nuts!” The old saying applies for real. You can please some of the people some of the time but you cannot please all of the people all of the time.
I've had a auto-step failure and until I could get it fixed, I found an alternative to stepping out of the RV and stepping way down to the ground. If you step to the last step in the RV with the door open and then squat down, it is pretty easy just take one leg and step to the ground. Give it a try and you'll see what I mean.
BTBRV wow! Great to see you here on nomadic fanatic’s channel! Congratulations on your new fifth wheel! You, and Eric’s channels are both awesome! I follow y’all religiously! I’ve recently seen that LCI quality control, and product longevity is quite a dissatisfaction. My new coach has LCI products (2021 Thor Hurricane 34J) that I’m awaiting for in August, and I’m like Eric/many others having great concerns on the slides, leveling, and step mechanism’s?!🥺 So, please continue your channel success, and like Eric’s channel here... Is a huge asset/wealth of information for me! Blessings to y’all! Thank you Eric & BTBRV
Eric's had problems with various components of this step since shortly after he bought the RV. If I recall correctly, the first issue was caused by the wiring on the door which would auto engage/retract the steps when the door was opened/shut.
Eric, you keep saying, "you guys, say" OR "you all, don't like" please note... most of your viewers don't comment...or complain. Please Don't lump us "all" in with the few that comment or complain.
The problem is Lippert seems to have a monopoly? RV Manufacturers need to have several companies competing for the business. It seems like Lippert is all that is used. We had a defective leaf spring - Lippert Alice
If I were a big shot at Lippert, I would install an entirely new system on your rig, top to bottom. Jacks, slide, awning, steps ... all of it. For free! I'd do it just to avoid the bad publicity that all of these failures on Miranda generate.
Actually you are wrong here Eric. Your audience is not wrong. Your audience is doing what your audience is doing. When you make content about arcade games, guess who that is going to attract? That’s right people who collect arcades. When you make like 15 of those videos one after another one, your audience (actual audience) might be saying “here he is with yet another video I am not interested” and so your viewership dips even if you create content that they actually wanted to watch in the first place. RUclips retention is a significant issue here. For reference, I am on my 5th youtube channel. I used to have a drone modification channel 2010-2016 where average video view was 45,000. The second I stopped producing THAT content... and started adding other content... it went from 45,000 to basically zero. People come to see what they want to see and skip what they don’t. The issue exacerbates itself when you intermingle content they are not interested in. Some people may go gaga over (insert here content), other’s will not... but for a channel to keep trucking along, you need to provide what brought them to you in the first place. Just my 0.02 cents.
my friend Eric....you have so many mechanical problems, from game machines, to electric stairs, to slideouts, to ..to..to.. i totally admire you, because your generator issue taught me what i said before.."Simple is better, focus on the fundamentals"
I have Kwikee steps on my 04 Winnebago and have worked flawlessly till one day they didn't retract and I drove in to my MH garage and they hit the door jam of the garage and I really bent them. Took a come-along and pulled them back in place and lubed them. Now they are working again just fine. The reason they didn't retract was they needed lube, my fault.
Our Kwikee (LCI) steps did not come back in when we left the Keys a couple of weeks ago. I had to remove the pin and bungie them up to get home. After looking at it later, it was a simple corroded ground wire for me. Good luck and safe travels.
Watching your video confirm that my plan for the futur make sens. The less crap we have, the less crap break down. MY rialta il a "low to the ground" "extension free" "no generator", I will not town anything. I will travel with the less carp possible and i will learn to fix every component of my rv. Or else, Rv live is lake maintaining a complete house that shake and break constently. And then there is also the real house that break constently.
I look forward to watching you and,Jax. You show life as it is on the road or at base camp. I expect you to not doctor the truth. Just be you haapy, sad or mad. Your followers will be there to see what Eric is up to. Keep enjoying life and taking me along on your adventures! Hugs
A hack for the stool... Get a thin leash. Either end can be attached so it can be put put or pulled back up... Have used this for getting in and out of a 9 passenger van.
Our steps came out while we were driving on the highway. We ended up taking out the motor and replacing it. It took more time to diagnose it than it did to swap out the motor. LCI bought Kwikee so you can’t get away from them….
Sean does really good detailing. I loved seeing his work. I'm sorry to hear your having problems with the RV steps & hope this will be a more positive solution for you. I like everything you share with me. I wish it was more. I wish it were a little longer.
Why not just replace the motor for the stairs? 🤔 PS- I enjoy videos of yours whenever you post, just make as many as you want and post when you want. Do you! 👍
I love and watch all your videos, no matter what your content, but you definitely have the skill to make the best of your videos, which I think are the travel/camping/jax/landscape/drone videos. They're longer and clearly have hours and hours of editing. Those really showcase your talent.
That's some major pin stripe talent there. Love looking at old classic vehicles. Looking forward to seeing your future adventures. Yeah, the toilet paper video was underwelming, but for anyone living or even just taking trips in an RV it was very informative.
I have read that Lippert wants to be a monopoly. So where ever they out source their crappy parts, one is stuck, but you just showed a different manufacturer. I have watched enough Big Truck Big RV videos, to realize, the fold up 3 step stairs that fit in the doorway, is the best work around, unless you have problems lifting.
We have been stuck in South Texas for the past month because of LCI. We bought a brand new 2021 Aspen Trail 1950bh and the frame failed on it less than a month after owning it. We had to get them to send a tech out to us in a walmart parking lot which took 3 weeks. It was almost 2 weeks just to Send the parts and another week of waiting for them to come install them and than another week trying to figure out what to do with the trailer now. which we have decided to sell. So we dropped it off at a consignment lot and now finally can leave south Texas. We will not be buying anything brand new again.
These vidoes...its like having a nice visit or phone call from a friend. Doesn't really matter what your friend talks about; its just nice to hear their voice and see their smile. That being said...when you going to Disney next? 😆 I'm headed to Mackinac Island and the Henry Ford Museum in May. I'm hoping to take the car Ferry across to MI from Manitowoc WI. Was thinking about doing Disney again but decided a short road trip would be nicer for May.
Ive never heard of any praise for Lippert. Even in tech school they said Lippert is problematic. Kwikee is a good step. Id rather reinstall anti wobbler the same way and hear when i scrape so no real damage is done. Hug catman Jax for me.
I enjoy all the videos! They all show how life "turns" and you are honest about Miranda and her evolving issues; which can and do happen! There is no perfect rv....if they "move" they develope issues. Did you hear about General Rv opening an "Rv Inspection Center"? All new rv's will go there syraight from each manufscturer to be Inspected BEFORE going the Dealer! Sounds good to me......something to follow; it should be interesting!! Would like to be a fly on the wall there!!
Good update, learned a lot of different info concerning the day to day issues that you face. BTW cool detailing on the vehicle. Too bad those slides are such a pain. There is an RV forum that may address the issue just Google RV forum.😁
A lot of R.V. parts are very low quality. My 1987 Prowler ruined the carpet in the bedroom because the hot water heater was made out of aluminum. The original one leaked. I changed it Myself and the 2nd and 3rd one leaked. I finally found one in Lowe's Hardware with a Steel tank and it lasted for at least 5 or 6 years until I sold My camper.
My Husband and I Love all your videos and content, we have a suggestion...maybe once a week do a ‘day In the life of Jax’ episode...we love your kitty 🐱👍
Anti wobble?! Now why didn't the trailer hitch place I went to for a riser not suggest that? He just told me it would wobble, so I didn't buy the riser. Cargo rack is getting beat. He could have up saled, but ended up with no sale; now that I know this, he lost a customer that would have returned... Thanks for showing that!
Since you are going north, how about heading to Winnebago in Iowa and do a factory tour.
Great Idea, I'm looking at the Adventurer 36Z or the Forza 34T
Forest City, Iowa to be exact!
I like the Truman Show aspect of your videos. Day to day or quirky stuff. It's all good.
Your spot on with the tail dragging! I have about 8' of overhang and have the same issue. I added skid rollers, at least it prevents damage to the rear of the RV.
Some of us are fans for Eric and Jax, some come for the RV content. I’ve become a fan of Eric and I’d watch his channel no matter the content.

Same here. No matter what he's doing is interesting to me.
Exactly! Well said.
Same here. I never miss any of his videos. He’s like an old friend now.
As others have said Eric, just post when you want to, plenty of us will be here to watch them whenever they come out
Sometimes I have to miss a couple but I usually end up going back to catch up on the ones I haven’t seen
Eric
Don’t let people tell you what to post, we really like your videos the way they are and the adventures you show us and every few days is fine.
Thanks for all the effort
I agree!!!
There was a missed opportunity to interview an amazing artist. Even for 5 to 10 minutes. That artwork was beautiful. O_O
The rain has stopped and the Sun is shining - Life is wonderful. Love From Denmark 🇩🇰🍷🍺☀️🍕
Cloudy and rainy here in wisconsin.
I totally remember when you had a van just like that. Playing your guitar and Jax being so so wittle
I don't only look at this channel for Quirky stuff, its also a Learning Channel, don't ever stop
The only RV Vlogs I'm subscribed to are You & Carolyn's RV Life. I find both your channels to be entertaining, educational and very informative. I never miss any vids from either of you.
We look so forward to your videos. We don’t care what the content is. We find you very entertaining. You are one of the best RUclipsrs in our opinion. ❤️
Aloha! I like your videos no matter where you are or what you’re doing. It’s just fun hanging out with you & Jax. TY ☮️🌺🤙🐝😎
I watch every video you have put out. I don't often comment on them but you always get a like.
Just finished watching this video. You were a bit down at the end, but know that we enjoy watching your videos, some more than others! Definitely video and share your step removal and installation experience. We enjoy the quirky videos as well. Keep the faith!
Great to meet you. Thanks for including me in this video!
Beautiful work! Enjoyed seeing your art
Pinstriping is a art. Cool van & LDI seems to have issues with quality. I have a friend having issues with her steps and leveling system all failed at once. Her RV is a 2019 - makes me rethink brands to buy.
People who can paint the pinstripes like that are AMAZING.... I ❤ when you show how the keyboard mechanics don't know what they are talking about
Truly a Craftsman & a treat to see someone freehand tight lines.
Love the pin stripe work. Amazing craftsmanship. I enjoy your videos whatever you put up i like variety and quirky things i also like your sense of humour. I learnt alot about RV toilet paper. Now I know what toilet to use
Eric, I enjoy all your videos. Thanks for showing us your life.
I dont chime in much, but we love all and any of your videos. to cut them out will make people move on to other videos. keep them coming. you fix things that no one fixes, you have fun off the cuff subjects, but i have noticed that you are not marking/liking or replying to those that post how much they care about you here, so maybe try to fit that in if you can... we love your show. :-)
Pinstriping was amazing. I liked your video. Just do your thing and enjoy.
Thanks for the video I watch anything u post when you post do what you do man 👍 been watching for alot of years thanks again

Lots of things to fix. Just like homeowners - its always something. Heading to Wisconsin? Man, there is a lot of quirky/cool stuff here.

I love watching your all your repairs and modifications. Don’t listen to negative comments. You’re videos are perfect. I love your long videos. I never thought it was to long because I just love watching them.
the more i study, the more i plan, the same answer returns to me...
Simple is easy.
The minute you start adding "fancy stuff" like electric stairs, slideouts, etc...just one more future headache, just one more 'thing to do'.
My friends always say to me.."why do you focus only on the fundamentals?"
Because the fundamentals work, and require less upkeep and maintenance.
Once i get my rig, I'm removing or dsiabling all the "fancy"...let's go simple and straigtforward.
I did't see the strair failure -- what happened/ If they just "got floppy" this is usually repairable ....
In many cases the gear box gets gummed up.
The way they work is there is a control board which senses when the steps are at the end of their travel (Fully out, fully in) by detecting amount of power pulled by the motor. When the gears get gummed up, it draws enough current the control board THINKS the stairs are fully retracted or extended.
The fix is simple...First, DISCONNECT ALL POWER and drop the steps. You do NOT want fingers involved with steps and moving, it will cut off digits!
Once you pull the gear box (You d on't even have to remove the stairs) simply open the gearbox and remove all the old grease and clean things thoroughly. Replace the grease (White lithium is what I used) and reinstall....
The stairs will work like new again.....
YES --- Lippert is bad news. No quality control at all. BUT -- a lot of things are fixable. Just remember, most of their stuff is designed to be worked on by low skilled labor on a manufacturing floor --- if they can build it...YOU can probably fix it.
Sending prayers for Camper Van Kevin and Tucker. Go show him some support!
Started following you because of Jax, stayed for him and your personality.
Whatever you decide to post, I will watch.

I like the videos showing you day to day issues and repairs best......cheers Eric
Morning! How many years did the steps last before failing? I hope your new steps hold up!
Yes think how many time you open the door and the steps go in and out. I bet it is in the thousands of times in and out.
BTBRV wow! Great to see you here on nomadic fanatic’s channel!
Congratulations on your new fifth wheel!
You, and Eric’s channels are both awesome!
I follow y’all religiously!
I’ve recently seen that LCI quality control, and product longevity is quite a dissatisfaction.

My guess is 10 years, original equipment and it is a 2012 model..... and Howdy :)
Eric's had problems with various components of this step since shortly after he bought the RV. If I recall correctly, the first issue was caused by the wiring on the door which would auto engage/retract the steps when the door was opened/shut.
My 2007 National SurSider Class A came with Kwikee Steps and the original are still working strong.
Eric, you keep saying, "you guys, say" OR "you all, don't like" please note... most of your viewers don't comment...or complain. Please Don't lump us "all" in with the few that comment or complain.

We don't mind waiting 2-3 days for a video. Thanks for sharing your videos. 🙂
Actually you are wrong here Eric. Your audience is not wrong. Your audience is doing what your audience is doing.

my friend Eric....you have so many mechanical problems, from game machines, to electric stairs, to slideouts, to ..to..to..
i totally admire you, because your generator issue taught me what i said before.."Simple is better, focus on the fundamentals"
I have Kwikee steps on my 04 Winnebago and have worked flawlessly till one day they didn't retract and I drove in to my MH garage and they hit the door jam of the garage and I really bent them. Took a come-along and pulled them back in place and lubed them. Now they are working again just fine. The reason they didn't retract was they needed lube, my fault.
Any Eric video is a good video.
I appreciate the artistic videos. I guess the form over function type thing.
Our Kwikee (LCI) steps did not come back in when we left the Keys a couple of weeks ago. I had to remove the pin and bungie them up to get home. After looking at it later, it was a simple corroded ground wire for me. Good luck and safe travels.
Well I for one never skip any of your videos!
That pinstriping was nice, very talented artist but not to much pinstripe on the car where it gets tacky looking
Love all your videos!!! Ignore the complainers!!! Majority rules we love all content ❤️
Custom Pinstripes, wow, that nerve racking! My hat is off to that man! What a talent 🎈
I have been watching the show for years now I enjoy seeing what you are up to and I love seeing Jax; he is adorable.
Watching your video confirm that my plan for the futur make sens. The less crap we have, the less crap break down.
MY rialta il a "low to the ground" "extension free" "no generator", I will not town anything. I will travel with the less carp possible and i will learn to fix every component of my rv.
Or else, Rv live is lake maintaining a complete house that shake and break constently. And then there is also the real house that break constently.
If it ain't broke don't fix it. Your good man. Been a sub since you were a college student.
I look forward to watching you and,Jax. You show life as it is on the road or at base camp.
I expect you to not doctor the truth. Just be you haapy, sad or mad. Your followers will be there to see what Eric is up to. Keep enjoying life and taking me along on your adventures! Hugs
Eric; I enjoy both kind of content. And seeing a Bertha like threw me back in time as well :)
Hope the steps work!!
Bike 🚴 ride ...I could feel the exhilaration!!😎
Just do what you do and don't worry what the few say. Don't even mention it. Been watching a long time and never felt the need to tell you what to do.
A hack for the stool...
Get a thin leash. Either end can be attached so it can be put put or pulled back up...
Have used this for getting in and out of a 9 passenger van.
Nice to find a RUclipsr who can quirky stuff and a travel vlog on the same channel!
Our steps came out while we were driving on the highway. We ended up taking out the motor and replacing it. It took more time to diagnose it than it did to swap out the motor. LCI bought Kwikee so you can’t get away from them….
too bad the bolts didn't line up. off by 3/4 inch
Always like to see what your up to, except Mickey🤭lol✌️
Sean does really good detailing. I loved seeing his work. I'm sorry to hear your having problems with the RV steps & hope this will be a more positive solution for you. I like everything you share with me. I wish it was more. I wish it were a little longer.
Why not just replace the motor for the stairs? 🤔
PS- I enjoy videos of yours whenever you post, just make as many as you want and post when you want. Do you! 👍
I think 11,000 people all yelled out BERTHA !
I love and watch all your videos, no matter what your content, but you definitely have the skill to make the best of your videos, which I think are the travel/camping/jax/landscape/drone videos. They're longer and clearly have hours and hours of editing. Those really showcase your talent.
Camping season has begun!!! Many of us northern folks are camping 😉 but we always catch up with our favorite videos when we get back to home base 😁
That's some major pin stripe talent there. Love looking at old classic vehicles. Looking forward to seeing your future adventures. Yeah, the toilet paper video was underwelming, but for anyone living or even just taking trips in an RV it was very informative.
I have read that Lippert wants to be a monopoly. So where ever they out source their crappy parts, one is stuck, but you just showed a different manufacturer.
I have watched enough Big Truck Big RV videos, to realize, the fold up 3 step stairs that fit in the doorway, is the best work around, unless you have problems lifting.
Unfortunately I think all step motors go out in time, I’ve had 2 class A coaches, both with the Kwik steps and lost motors in both.
I like all your videos Eric. It's nice to mix them up a bit which you do. Wishing you a safe travels. 😺
All I can say is - "It's Your show". I enjoy the way you present you. :-)))). :-))))
We have been stuck in South Texas for the past month because of LCI. We bought a brand new 2021 Aspen Trail 1950bh and the frame failed on it less than a month after owning it. We had to get them to send a tech out to us in a walmart parking lot which took 3 weeks. It was almost 2 weeks just to Send the parts and another week of waiting for them to come install them and than another week trying to figure out what to do with the trailer now. which we have decided to sell. So we dropped it off at a consignment lot and now finally can leave south Texas. We will not be buying anything brand new again.
I like all your videos but I particularly like the RV tweaks, tips and tricks
These vidoes...its like having a nice visit or phone call from a friend. Doesn't really matter what your friend talks about; its just nice to hear their voice and see their smile. That being said...when you going to Disney next? 😆 I'm headed to Mackinac Island and the Henry Ford Museum in May. I'm hoping to take the car Ferry across to MI from Manitowoc WI. Was thinking about doing Disney again but decided a short road trip would be nicer for May.
Well i love the random day to day content Eric.
I had to replace my steps as well on my 2005 Forest River Forester.
Ive never heard of any praise for Lippert. Even in tech school they said Lippert is problematic. Kwikee is a good step. Id rather reinstall anti wobbler the same way and hear when i scrape so no real damage is done. Hug catman Jax for me.
Kwikee steps is owned by LCI aka lippert.
I enjoy all the videos! They all show how life "turns" and you are honest about Miranda and her evolving issues; which can and do happen! There is no perfect rv....if they "move" they develope issues. Did you hear about General Rv opening an "Rv Inspection Center"? All new rv's will go there syraight from each manufscturer to be Inspected BEFORE going the Dealer! Sounds good to me......something to follow; it should be interesting!! Would like to be a fly on the wall there!!
That's also the company that made the ramp on my toy hauler that was folding in half which from what I read is pretty standard with their ramps.
Good move with the Kwikee steps. Mine are 22 years old and they work great.
My wife and I enjoy your videos.
Totally understand about the step!
Good update, learned a lot of different info concerning the day to day issues that you face. BTW cool detailing on the vehicle.
Too bad those slides are such a pain. There is an RV forum that may address the issue just Google RV forum.😁
A lot of R.V. parts are very low quality. My 1987 Prowler ruined the carpet in the bedroom because the hot water heater was made out of aluminum. The original one leaked. I changed it Myself and the 2nd and 3rd one leaked. I finally found one in Lowe's Hardware with a Steel tank and it lasted for at least 5 or 6 years until I sold My camper.
Classy pinstripe. I’ve always been a fan of classy pinstriping.
LOVE, 🥰 LOVE, 👠 LOVE, 💋
the LONGER videos!!🤍❤️🤍❤️
Hi Jax 😊🐈🧡
Hello Eric I watch all your videos. Also enjoy all of them too. Tell Jax man I said hello
My Husband and I Love all your videos and content, we have a suggestion...maybe once a week do a ‘day In the life of Jax’ episode...we love your kitty 🐱👍
I always look forward to seeing your videos whatever the timeline. :)
I love the day to day stuff, but whatever you do always is good! Just do what works best for you. We'll be here.. :)
Love all your videos. Day to day and all.
Anti wobble?! Now why didn't the trailer hitch place I went to for a riser not suggest that? He just told me it would wobble, so I didn't buy the riser. Cargo rack is getting beat. He could have up saled, but ended up with no sale; now that I know this, he lost a customer that would have returned...
Thanks for showing that!
Wow! Jax is looking good. Nice and slim.
I watch all of your videos Eric... I love watching your everyday life. It's all good. 👍👍👍👍👍😁
