The river trip looked amazing. The girl in the round tube with the paddle was so funny!
She was the best! Hopefully she doesn't mind that she's now famous 😎
What the what?? Harvey the RV is making a comeback video!! Harv, we've missed you bud!! Thanks for all the entertainment getting fresh ball joints and shocks. All this talk about Jack stands, and not a single showing of Jack standing. And you left Jack under Harvey in addition to standing. Sounds like poor Jack was pretty much worked to the bone!! In the end, it was good to see all of Jack's standing paid off, and Harvey will have a more stable and comfortable ride.Way to go Jack!! No question, Jack gets the total win on this one.
Haha, funny you noticed that. I think Jack was trying to somehow get in on all the Jack references but it didn't really pan out 😂.
The new impact to take the tires off has to make you so happy. It's the little things
It's a game changer!
How cool! Temu reached out to me, too! They said "your payment was declined". 😂😂😂
Great work, family! I agree with you, with older campers, you are never goong to be done. We have taken 2 trips with our camper Eddie so far, and we still have things to fix!
BTW, we used the curtain idea you did for Harvey and it worked awesome! Out the door we paid about $50 for everything out the door. What a great solution! Glad you came across it and shared it!
😆
We're glad the curtain idea worked for you too. Good job 😉
You guys are nuts and your intros are hilarious, top job on the lettering Christie another great video
Thanks so much!!😊
Love to see the children getting involved and helping out, I'm excited for a Harvey trip soon. Awesome work y'all.
Next video is a mini road trip, stay tuned!
Great job on the lock for your power supply sliding drawer! Now I can rest easy:)
😁
you guys are my favorite family on youtube.. so enjoyable to watch and you can see the love you have for each other. Much Love From Nova Scotia. Maybe someday ill see you all with Harvey here on vacay!
Thank you!! We're glad you enjoyed watching. Who knows,maybe someday we'll head that way 😁
Looks awesome!!!
Thank you 😁
Yeaaaahhhh they brought back the dang nabbit!!!
😂😂 For sure!
The paint job was awesome, and the bomb, hot dog, dang nab! I like how y'all use half words sometimes!
😂 Thanks for the nice comment!
I think your paint job is perfect!
Thanks! 🥳
You all did a fantastic job this video, sooo entertaining🤣
Thanks so much!
Yay so excited when I got notified that you had a video up!!! Wow y’all got some great stuff from Temu.🤗
Thanks so much for watching!
Love your videos!
Glad you like them! Thanks 😁
Yeah, we gotta keep those allen wrenches on a lease or they will run off! Lol! Good idea. At some point you might want to get a uncuttable cable and security lock that can't be cut off for your generator.
the lettering you did looks just like the original! High five! Clarkson's Farm was too funny!!
Thanks! The lettering was nerve wracking! We're hoping this little cable deters people to some extent but there are probably more solid options. We'll keep our fingers crossed! Thanks for watching!
I have seen those bicycle tents used to put your portable outdoor kitchen in while camping. It keeps it clean and dry. I wouldn't put a grill in it, but maybe a small table, cooler, maybe a griddle.
Ooh, good idea!
Two class-action lawsuits related to privacy have been filed against Temu claiming Temu "gains access to literally everything on your phone" and the app is "loaded with tools to execute virulent and dangerous malware and spyware activities."
Oh boy 😳
I will add that temu has also been investigated for importing items under 800 dollars value and made by child labor (apparently federal law doesnt ban items over 800 even if child labor is involved) also temu claimed to be an american company it is not an american it is infact a chinese company
also there multiple reports of temu taking money out of peoples bank accounts that wasnt authorized to complete a transaction this actually happened to a friend of mine
Jack asking for a hot dog! 😂😂 I'm laughing! Kids are so stream of consciousness! 😅 I love hot dogs too Jack!
He wanted to roast it over the little fire 🔥
Happy trails, Cowpokes
Thanks, mini road trip coming next video!
Good video
Thank you!
Wow it's like Christmas!😊
Seriously, it was fun opening all that stuff!
The Joe Dirt reference at 8:38 . 😆
We went all in on the Joe Dirt references this time around 😂
Great family video. Time for some fun with Harvey!
Thanks!! It's a blast! There's always more to do but we're glad we can start enjoying the fruits of our labor 😁
Fun and lots of work , but I'm sure many memories agead!!! 💚
You got that right!😁
Great video as always! I would use a cable larger in diameter that would not be easily cut. Lettering looks great!
Thanks so much! Hopefully this cable will be enough to somewhat deter people. We'll see!
Ya'll does great work hardly even prepare make sure that your Rv are safely great before getting out of state trips I hope Ya'll could come Oregon have great places to stay camping sites ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! We're excited to take some trips in it 🥳
Y'all make me smile.....
Thank you! 😊😊
Glad to see you guys back on the tube!
I was spoiled binging the Harvey revival in Dec.
I am glad I stumbled upon some of my Michigan peeps!
Tennessee just ain't Michigan!❤
I am glad you are going to address the drawers.
I did comment on the lock for your drawer.But even though you did put a slide pin in there you might want to make a strap to hold down the implement on to your drawer.
There is a possibility that when going down the road it can bounce right off of that drawer.
I really like your guy's content and enjoy watching every episode.I would hate to see that the money you invest into harvey getting damaged by the lovely Michigan roads, and we saw that a few episodes ago on your drive you did.
I believe firmly in
"Better safe than sorry"
Ok.....
I see you made the strap! Excellent thinkjng!
Haha! We started reading your comment and were going to say you need to watch longer! Yes, good idea on the strap, definitely needed with these roads!
@@retrorevivals great minds think alike!😉🤣
I love your show and your family is great.
Thank you so much!!😊
YES! Love these two 😂, love these videos!
Thank you! 😍
Charming family
Thank you 😊😊
Glad your on, learning lots😁
Nice! Thanks for watching!
Hi guys James from across the pond in England hope your all well no video this week
Hi James! We're well, we were on vacation this week but new video coming out tomorrow! We're trying to stick to a 10 day schedule... every week isn't really feasible for us most of the time. Thanks for checking in!
Can't believe you are watching Clarkson Farm.
It's entertaining 😁
You got some good stuff! Fun! I would’ve like to rate everything contest!
We're pretty new to this RUclips thing... what do you mean? People vote?
Yay a new video!! Thank you for uploading~! I'm looking into getting my own vintage motorhome to renovate soon and you guys are definitely an inspiration!
Thanks! Good luck with your project 😉
You smirks have practiced to do the cruise air in one paint stroke like chineese calligraphy
Good point! That would make it go so much faster 😂
As far as the backup camera goes, I was wondering if you hook up the positive lead to either the reverse lights (camera turns on when you shift into reverse), or to the running lights (camera only runs when the running lights are on). Just a thought.
Yes that would work. We wanted to be able to use it going down the road. So we wired with a 12V constant. The switch keeps it from draining the battery when not in use.
Great job!!
Thank you! 🎉
You guys are BY FAR my favorite DIY'ers to watch - from the epic flashback comedy snipets to just being 'real' about things. I'm in MN and we're rehabbing 'Ruby' the RV and making her our dream come true - on a budget bwhahahaha. 1985 Class C Van Camper. We have a ginormous family - 7 kids and then 13 grandkids with 2 more on the way. I would absolutely LOVE to do a camping meet up with you guys - it would be a blast! We can meet in WI in the middle or the U.P. or the north shore...... would love it. Prayers over you guys, your family, all your adventures & travels!!! Real question for you - Harvest Hosts - do you recommend? Best/worst part of it? HUGS FROM MN!
PS - I'm technically challenged and just realized I'm on my 13 yr old son's profile hahahahaha. I'm Christina - a middle aged grandma/momma looking to find more simplicity in life rather than living to pay the mortgage.
Thanks so much 😁! That's great that you're taking on an RV project. You'll have to rotate who you can take on trips 😆. We have yet to venture out far away from home with Harvey but maybe someday. Good luck with your reno!
Not sure about Harvest Hosts. We typically stay at state camp grounds and haven't traveled outside of Michigan yet to camp.
Yes
😎🎉
Why don't you have bought roll-down screen? That's what I did in my camper! It's only there when you need it and out of the way, when you don't! 😊. They are very cheap and you can screw them to the ceiling! I love to help! But I am in The Netherlands and that means it has to be online! I like your channel though... ❤
We considered the roll down option but the AC unit cover is right where we wanted to put the screen. Our solution could use a little improvement but we're hoping it'll work. We don't watch too many movies on vacation anyway 🥳
I love Clarkson farmers
We really can't explain why but we just love it!
another great video, thank you. thanks for explaining everything you did there under harvey, big surgery hé question ? don't you have to "line out " all the weals now so the tyers run straight ?
anyway it was very nice to see this! and than all this tool storage it will be a nice garage there...
and this artist you have doing all the jobs drilling, cutting, teaching young man, instal this projector, the battery fix thing belt and making the four of you arriving somewhere so more comfortable .
enjoy the test trip as much as i liked this video, !
ps sorry for the bad english writing , never had english class ;-) greets andre
Your English was fine! Yes, we do need an alignment for the wheels! It's on the to-do list 🥴
wow thats so weird to see Clarksons Farm on your video! I live nearby and it never occurred to me that people in other countries watched it!
No way, that's pretty sweet. Not sure why but we love that show. We'd love to visit the UK and stop by the farm shop someday if they keep it running!
The belt clip on your makita drill is very important to have when using it, but it looks like it will not allow you to clip your tool to the temu bench clip... possible problem to solve. Good Luck!
So, joke's on us with those... what we thought we were ordering were holders for the batteries, not the tools themselves. The battery holders would be more useful 😒
Доброго времени суток. Республика Карелия. Все ваши ролики смотрю но не всегда могу написать. Так как разница во времени. И все же рад вашему очередному ролику. Весна как говорит Кристи. Но вчера у нас шел снег весенний. И так как я опоздал с поздравлением. Прошу меня извинить. Поздравляю вас с постройкой гаража. Ну раз вам подарили проектор советую посмотреть фильм Особенности национальной рыбалки. Фильм комедия снята в Карелии. Правда не знаю есть ли с переводом на Английский язык но на Финском точно есть. Так что так. Еще раз спасибо за видео. Мир вашему дому и здоровья всей семье.
Thank you for the comment 😁. The spring /summer got here earlier than ever. We've had snow in May in the past 😬. I checked out your movie. It's on RUclips with subtitles. I haven't finished it but maybe when time allows. Thanks for watching our videos!
@@retrorevivals Доброго времени суток. Спасибо что ответили.Здоровья вам и семье.
That top ball joint has a factory assigned torque value on it. Why did you not torque that down to specification with a proper torque wrench?
We should probably add a disclaimer to our videos. Don't necessarily do why we do.😁
What model is the Temu projector and price if you know it. Looks like it works okay for you. Thanks for all your videos.
It looks like the one they actually sent us is unavailable but we added a link to one that's similar in the description. It was around $100 and works actually better than we thought it would.
May I ask if you’ve thought about putting a fuel injection in Harvey? Looks like a regular carb but I believe they’re much more economical.
Yes,I've checked into it. It may be in Harvey's future 😉
Did you guys change out the headlights with LED?
No, we didn't, I think we replaced with halogen.
Did you Tyler replace the brake rotors they look like there is a grove in the middle of it just an observation
We haven't replaced them yet at this point but there's not a groove, maybe just an illusion 😊
Did you get a fresh front end alignment ?
We haven't yet, but we will. I counted the turns when removing the old tie rods. I turned the new ones in the same amount. Since the distance wasn't too far, it should be ok.
Why didn’t you replace the upper and lower control arm bushings? You were already almost there. You saw the Wear on the ball joints and tie rod end. Why did you not replace the control arm bushings. When they start squeaking, and they will, you will wish you had.
You make a good point. Due to time constraints it's not always possible to do everything we want or would like to do. Maybe in the future I'll add that to a video while working on Harvey.
I can't find a tyrod for my 1976 dogecamper who you call to get it
Try Rock auto. They have quite a few. I think they carry the inner and outers but you'll have to pay attention to which ones will work for your camper. Good luck!
@retrorevivals I did find one. It was not in my part of woods lol. But it was a heard part to find. Thank you and I wish I can show you my camper. I am 58. I'm gonna do my camper as well. But on the rode.
👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘
Thanks!
😂 Joe Dirt. Poor Ella.
Too funny watching back we're lighting it right over the gas tank of the generator 😬
So your Harvey is becoming a Van Go--> 😅
Hahaha, good one 😂
👂🏼✂️
I think you gonna make a VERY BIG mistake to place the Generator outside of your vehicle.
I thinking about the amount of water that's gonna hit it if you driving a rainy day.
You make a good point. Space is limited though. We could bring it inside on a rainy day. Also,we do have a cover for the generator.
That soft brake line is too short. Replace it or it Will fail.
When I got the brake lines I ordered the ones that were recommended for our model. That being said I could go longer but at full travel with the tire on they don't appear too short. I wound up replacing the banjo bolt and crush washer and solved the leaking issue. I'll keep my eye on them though. Thanks 😁
Joe Dirt!!! Why is a tree food!
You really can't beat Joe Dirt 🥳
A small pair of bolt cutters will cut through that tiny cable in about two seconds. You wasted your time and money on that one.
You're right. It's more or less a deterrent.
You could do it faster!
😂😂
When you buy from Temu, your money and personal info goes directly to the CCP
Oh boy 😳
Love your channel and videos, but cannot believe you worked with temu... They have been sayd to use child labor and eaven if not, its full of plastic and unnecessary not ethical product things
From the comments, it seems some people agree with you. We'll have to do some research 😬. Thanks for watching!
Stopped watching the second i saw temu stuff. I should have looked closer at the thumbnail.
😔
