Did you do it? How did it go?

Whaaa? My earring detracts from my credibility? Why?

Oh good. I'm glad it was helpful. It's a pretty easy repair. Definitely not something I would want to pay someone a bunch of money to do, no? What was wrong with yours? Same issue?

What do you mean expecting more? You thought that the new one would be nicer than it is? Not sure I follow. How did your couch removal go?

The holes did not line up. The new lights were much bigger in footprint though, so they covered up the prior light holes. I believe I did put some caulk on there, no? Did you swap yours out as well on your rig?

Oh good. Glad it was helpful. Are you renovating an RV?

Sounds like a problem. Other side of what?

Were you able to figure it out?

Cheap Amazon replacements. They don't cast a beam quite as straight and narrow, but they do the job and look great during the day. I think that nothing makes a vehicle look old more than cloudy headlights. Wouldn't you agree?

I believe that came off of Amazon. I didn't provide a link in the description? This is it: amzn.to/3Mz6wv7. Basic, but way better than what was in there, no?

FYI: they have stopped working, but I got nearly two seasons out of them. I'd say it's still a win. Would you agree?

@@tinyindustrial-rvedition2368 i installed them last month... work good... thanks for the info... now i wont be suprisedwgen they stop working.... although i paid 91 bucks for mine

Glad it was helpful. Were you having the same issue?

Oh good. I'm glad that was helpful. I did not add any seal in addition to what you see me do in the video. The foam bottoms on these lights gave me a lot of confidence that they would seal if I screwed them down sufficiently. Just like the original lights, there are just mounted into the fiberglass (no studs). That said the fiberglass dome I have up front is pretty thick and the screws grabbed fine. Also the new lights have a bigger footprint than the original lights and there for the holes for those original lights wound up being covered by these new lights. They've been on for a year and there has been no water leakage or internal fogging. They also still work fine. Happy with this upgrade. Way better and way brighter than the originals. Hope that helps! Be careful on the roof of the RV...it's a far way up. Safety first. :)

Definitely. You want to depressurize and make sure that the pump is off. As you said though, even with that you can wind up with some water in the RV. My repair went pretty smoothly and I did not encounter any really dramatic issues.

I mean neither is 'super' comfortable. The new one is not perfect, but to me it's a definite upgrade. I just couldn't handle the look and feel of it. The new one is most definitely more comfortable to sleep on. The original pull out couch offered no support on one of those paper thing mattresses.

Great! Did you get a chance to put it in? Did it work? Do you have a video up of the process? Just curious...

@@tinyindustrial-rvedition2368 Not yet, getting some electrical stuff repaired first. Hopefully soon though!

I'm glad that was helpful. Thanks for watching!

You're welcome!

The couch is not currently mounted. I did put some 90 degree brackets in front of the rear legs of the couch that prevent it from sliding into the center of the RV. Something pretty dramatic would need to occur for it to dislodge from where it sits currently. May seek to strap it down in some fashion and or drill into the rear legs from the brackets I referenced. Not too concerned. Thanks for the question though. Sorry I didn't make that clear in the video.

Thanks so much for that suggestion. Sounds like a good video idea. When you make these videos, it's the really obvious topics that can sometimes pass you by. I'll put together a video on that.

Absolutely right. One of the best and easiest things to do that has a huge impact. LEDs are so much better than traditional bulbs.

Yeah, my goal was really to get rid of that hideous piece of furniture that was in there and put in something more pleasing. Longevity didn't factor into the equation as much as price for me. :)

Great idea. Do you have an RV or are you thinking of getting into it? I haven't made content for this channel in a while, but it's RV season again, so I'll make the effort to do some more. Thanks for your comments and suggestions. Very helpful for me.

@@tinyindustrial-rvedition2368 No, I do not have an rv. My husband is not into it. I have land on a river in West Virginia. In the Spring I have plans of getting a storage shed put there, maybe 12X36. I plan to put a bathroom (incineret toilet like in your videos) and a kitchen area. If I get a gabriel roof style I will put lofts there for extra sleeping. I currently take tents there. We are going next week. Tents are fun as long as there are no storms. There is a cabin on the property that has septic, but I don't want to mess with that. The well is in the area of my potential shed build. The county/state allows grey water distribution as long as it's buried in a trench. From their diagrams it looks like the french drain I put in my yard to divert water, so I think it will be easily accomplished. I am wondering about electricity for the shed, since the toilet requires a dedicated 30amp circuit. My neighbor is a retired electrician. I will probably ask him for details, but I am thinking 50 amp box would be sufficient for the entire building's lights, refrigerator and cook stove, maybe a hot water heater, not sure on that. Thanks for all the content. I really like how you show details. I need details, that's what I'm here for.

Yes, it's a good question that a lot of people have out there. Moving around has become more expensive with the price of gas going up. I think that a lot of people will gravitate towards the lightest and easiest thing to tow around with them. Smaller campers are likely finding a lot of appeal these days.

It has a rubber o-ring to seal

Thanks to Über Dad for rightly clarifying that for you. He's absolutely right.

Thanks for answering that. Spot on accurate.

You're welcome. I can tell you that the camera is still working fine. I didn't have super high expectations, but I'm always willing to give a low cost product a chance. Sometimes you get more than what you paid for. Same holds true for the tire pressure monitors that I bought (video on those as well). They are holding up great.

Hmm. Good question. I would have to check, but I feel that the battery was a bit bigger than the tray would allow. That along with mounting it sideways made me want to get the box for it to reside in. Quite frankly the box also makes it a lot harder to steal since it's super wedged in there. :) Did you upgrade to this kind of battery as well? Do you have an RV?

@@tinyindustrial-rvedition2368 - I am using LFP batteries, (both manufactured and DIY) in my boat and in a she-shed my wife uses for various crafts that she does. I'm somewhat of a geek where these things are concerned. :)

You are very welcome! Did you have the same situation?

If the issue appears to be with the inlet itself, then replace that. If it might be the hose that connects to the back (inside) of the inlet then that would be your issue. You would need to figure out where exactly the water is escaping. Could be a hairline crack on the inlet or like I said, more of a hose leak issue. Let me know how it works/worked out!
