Why Wait
United States
Приєднався 16 сер 2020
We decided...Why Wait? We are Chris & Megan and we decided why wait till we are retired to travel, see this beautiful country and live the life that we want. Life’s too short as they say. So now we travel in our Grand Design fifth wheel with our 8 year old son, Corbin and two Boston Terriers. Four years ago we sold it all, hit the road as full time RVers and now share videos from our experiences and adventures from all that this great country has to offer!

6 Gross RV Areas You Don’t Think About Cleaning But Should!
Get the one that will allow you to place it on top of the slide as it can loosen and fall out if placed on the side. In my pusher it would land on my wife’s head. No it’s never happened since I realized this way ahead of that.
My 06’ Beaver Monterey actually came with this system to lock in my kitchen/salon glide. It’s the only way to keep that glide from tipping and slamming while traveling.
I’m not looking forward to resealing our RV, but this vid was full of helpful information. Thanks
@@user-wx9up2vn1n good deal. A lot of it just comes down to proper prep work. Thanks for watching
Anyway you could contact me? I need help!
Looks like a POS camper.
😂😂😂
I'll be honest, at first a seen the video and how long it was and your maintenance list . . I thought it was nuts. But I gave it some time, and man there was a lot of useful helpful tricks you have. One that stuck out to me, was the handles for the black and grey tank valves.. for so long i have to pull and push so hard. I didn't even think to lubricate them up.. Also that siding cleaner is a great idea .
Hey just a heads up this is a really old video of mine and I have since switched to a different product that eliminates most of these and is way better. Boeshield T-9…Chief engineers on my tug boat use this stuff too. Here’s a link to that video. RV PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Using Boeshield T-9…The Only Product You NEED ua-cam.com/video/BEp-JfODrIg/v-deo.html Oh and using the Thetford drain valve lube inside your tanks is key as well to keeping those gate valves moving. 👍🏼 Thanks for watching.
Seems like a great product. What is your experience simply using Simple Green as a cleaner??
I’ve tried it a long time ago on the roof. Thought it was ok. Can’t remember the cost. I will say that if you care simple green Environmental Precautions says: Do not allow into open waterways and ground water systems. It’s not exactly a “green” product. I really like ease of this product and its results.
@@WhyWait excellent advice.
I have seen these. And they do work. Just don't over tighten them and blow out a wall or slide by cranking them so much it begins to wreck things.
Right on. I agree it doesn’t take much to keep them tight and take that wiggle out of the slides.
Looks like that slide needs more than a brace... If you have that much movement and you apply that brace, the wall of that rv is going to break. Our rack and pinion slide on our Rockwood has no movement, has never moved from closed position in 10k miles so far. Jus sayin...
A solution looking for a problem.
Talking way too much. Get to the point. Tks for info
Your welcome…I think 🤔
DOES NOT SHIP TO CALIFORNIA
@@micheleymybelly Doesn’t surprise me
I just did this today, with my Coleman mach 15. It took several hours. Had to figure out how get the base board with the split ramp to fit into the opening. Other than that, it wasn't too difficult.
Our 2019 Rockwood Mini Lite came with one of these. The dealership recommended that we not use it as it often caused damage, especially if you forgot to remove it before trying to extend the slide. Our owner's Facebook Group also generally advises against using these. We have never used it.
These came standard on a 2010 Forest River we used to own. I remember these also came with large bright orange warning hang tags stating, “REMOVE BEFORE EXTENDING THE SLIDE”
I’ve heard that from some other people now too. Putting it on our unhitching checklist plus I’ll see the one right by my retract slide buttons. Thanks for watching
You said no rinse but you rinsed
Thanks!
@@TheEmmauswalk appreciate that!! It all adds up and helps in keeping the channel running.
I’ve been using these on my 2015 Solitude and they work great. Great tips on adding to your checklist. We put a label right next to the side switches reminding us to remove the locks before operating the side buttons.
@@Lyle-xy8eq good idea 👍🏼 Has it ever seemed to cause any damage to the walls or anything like that?
Great, another product to help fix the manufacturer's shortcomings.
😂😂😂
Could you use one of these to prop up/support the 5th wheel hitch, once parked, to reduce front end 'jiggle'?
No that’s not what it’s intended for at all.
Those came with slideouts 30 plus years ago. Rack and pinion slides do not need them
2018 GD momentum no frame issue but lippert issuse. We need another choice than lippert maybe if they had competition there tune would change. Everyone has their own issue the dealership you buy from if they don't have quality control then you buy brand new crap rig. We have been camping 24 years and seen it all. So bitch to them all because this crop has been going on since the first camper was made
IMHO I don't think that is a good idea. In the short term it might work as designed, but long term you are putting a load on the wall of the RV and the wood frame of the slideout. I would like to see how the wall of the RV and the slideout wood frame are holding up after maybe a 400 mile trip over various road conditions.
I had these on a hybrid trailer slide. They work great - until it pushes the fascia off the slide. I won't be using them on my coach
Roger that Roger
Isn't it easier to just book a hotel room instead of hauling a bedroom with you across the country?
Isn’t nicer to sleep in your own bed at night and shit in your own toilet knowing how clean it is! 😉
Newer Newmar motorhomes have an auto locking mechanism that locks on each end of their slide outs. The older models had a manual lock that you had to use a tool to lock.
Nice. Makes a lot of sense for class A or C RVs where you would have people possibly sitting on the slide outs while traveling. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼
So when you're done traveling can you use them outside to keep hot or cold in or out.i would imagine they would leak.
Not sure about that one.
When my Lance 1995 travel trailer was new, I put Eternabond tape on the roof seams where it meets the side walls. Still looks awesome. I originally put it there to prevent black streaks from the walls flexing. Year 2 its holding up great! I used about 40 feet
Nice! That’s always good to hear. It’s good stuff for sure 👍🏼
Milk crates can also be used as a step if in good shape and you're light enough!
How do you place it to ensure that it doesn't punch through a wall if you hit a hard bump or rough roads?
Hey tugboat girl! I work on tugboat boats too! Do you? You really aren’t cranking down that tight on it so it shouldn’t be an issues. Plus placing them where they go should mean that they should be on a stud. 👍🏼
@@WhyWait yeah, that's my van in the parking lot at work.
Hey it is Dustin! Great video Chris. We actually use ratchet bars but it is the same exact concept. I do like the idea of installing them higher. Pete
Thanks Pete! Can’t trust your GD slides not to come out on their own while traveling haha
Thanks for the reminder I need to get some of these. These slide braces have been around for years in various forms. I had one about 20 years ago. At one point some manufacturers were even including them with new RV’s. They are super handy.
Yeah that’s what I’ve heard from others in the comments. Guess it’s just something I’ve never come across. 🤷🏻♂️
We have Schwinteks and rack and pinion. They do not move at all.
Yeah this is more for hydraulic slides
How about a curtain tension rod?? Lol
Haha right! Well it would have to be really short and then I’m not to sure about the quality and strength at that point.
Just seems that you are selling lots of stuff... I remember the roof issues ...
Have no affiliation with this product, just something I saw that I thought was a good idea. The purpose of our channel is to try out new products, review RV items on the market, LOTS of how to and repair videos mostly and let my viewers decide what’s best for them and something that is helpful or not for them. 👍🏼 What roof issues are you referring to?
When I purchased our Rockwood Travel Trailer it came with one of those. I used it a couple of times but always worried about forgetting to remove it.
Interesting. Had no idea these came with RVs. Definitely put it on the unhitching check list like we did. Plus it’s right in our face by the retract slide button. Thanks for watching 👍🏼
So I am assuming that you need to make sure it is positioned on a stud in the wall.
No not at all. You aren’t putting that much tension on it. Now it wouldn’t hurt to find a stud but I’m definitely not cranking down on it that much to where I feel the need to find a stud for it. Buuuuuut more than likely it’s being positioned at the edge of the sidewall anyways so there should always be a stud there.
@@WhyWait that’s what I was thinking. I would hate to place it somewhere on the wall that doesn’t have some kind of bracing behind it. Then hit a pot hole in the road and it punches a hole in the wall
@@user-rt2mr2dp1g I think it would just lose tension and fall if that was going to happen. We have a curtain rod in the loft, tight tension and most times it just falls. I’d imagine same concept.
Sound concept, but just seems like the "pad" that goes against the wall should have more surface area so as not to dent or wear the wall. I understand that you don't put a lot of torque on it, but it seems that while going down the highway, such a small pad would start to dig into the wall.
Yeah I could see that. But it is right up against a stud because it’s against the the edge of the slide wall. Something to monitor. 👍🏼
My slides don’t rock like the ones he showed. I’d check out the tracks. They might need adjustment.
If the slide motors commonly tend to fail, the motors should be EASILY accessible to repair. Easier to manually retract. There needs to be a new design. Just saying.😎I LOVE this channel. Safe travels.
Thanks, appreciate you watching. Obviously every slide is different. These are hydraulic and the motors are in the front compartment, so nothing to really do with this style slide coming out on the highway if a motor failed. This is more for stabilizing. My Schwintek slide motor failed though, that sucked to replace!! 😬
Good to know. I’ll be checking mine out shortly. Thanks for the heads up!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Interesting piece. I have cable slides so the cables tighten when drawn in and there’s no slide movement. ❤

Thats great 👍
It definitely does the job!
Yes, you nailed it for my pump too. Stuck pressure sensor and it works fine now. Thankx so much!
Awesome. Keep an eye on it because it’s likely to happen to again. Glad this helped.
@@WhyWait is there any lubricant that is safe to use on this plastic valve (and that won't give a taste to the water?
Yes, Some food grade oil or plumbers grease will work, some plumbers grease can be food safe. Food-safe grease is a lubricant that doesn't pose a risk if it accidentally comes into contact with food or animal products. Plumbers grease can be made from silicone oil and silicone grease, and it's often used to install O-rings and taps. It can also be used to seal minor leaks, loosen stiff joints, and reduce noise
Looks like a very nice place. Big Phil
Indeed it was Phil! 👍🏼
What models of Grand Design Solitudes are being affected by this issue? I have a ST372WB and have not seen any sign of a problem. Would be nice to see model number list and a complete inspection list.
Go check out the page Grand Design Major Issues on Facebook. Pete has posted spreadsheets of RV models that are having the most issues.
I called the manufacturer and they told me shiny side down
Have you heard of a product called...Through The Roof? It is a home roof maintenance product but works great on RV's. It is made by Sashco I believe. It is basically Lexel in a quart tub or 1 gallon can. It is a brush on water proofer and it is amazing. Crystal clear (like Lexel), dries very quickly and is applied very easily over any seam and is absolutely long lasting and makes anything water proof. Ohhhh...great video BTW.
Thanks. No I haven’t seen that. Sounds interesting. 🤔
I just bought a new 5th wheel. I was thinking of doing this now so I don’t have problems with the lap sealant in the future. Is that a good idea?
I will do this mod to every RV I own right off the get go! 👍🏼
