I got tired of having to manually turn on and off my AC. So i installed a thermostat in my Ember RV 171FB. It's a mystery why these don't come from the factory with thermostats. It's not very difficult or expensive. Our 171FB didn’t come with a thermostat for our dometic ac.

All the libby's wanted all those DEI hires... well this is the result of democrazy in action.
its better you found this water now as compared to 3 years down the line when it rusted through and soaked your finished home. blessing in disguise
Just wish I didn’t find it so close to my dry wood 🤦♂️
This is a great channel!
Thanks for watching
look up what they do in Zambia on the mines they put a roof over the container about a foot over the container makes it nice and cool
I’ll do that thanks
I just happened on this. I bought my Ember 191 about a month prior to this video and the dealership couldnt fix this simple blown fuse, exactly as the video shows. My first camping trip was without a working fridge. I then replaced this fuse and the fridge worked over several trips before it blew again. As far as I can tell, the fuse blows when the battery gets lower - when volts go down, amps go up. I also installed a 13.8 voltage regulator on the 12 volt fridge circuit as I found the unit to totally shut off during momentary voltage drops, possibly when the water pump kicks on.
Thanks for the tip. Happy travels
awesome!
Glad you think so!
do you have a file i could get to replicate this? i just took my console out and was thinking the same thing for a relocation. Cool Idea!
Not yet. I had to pause development to move and am setting up a new workshop. This summer I hope to get it refined. Then set up a storefront to sell files and other physical products
Alright man all good. Good luck with the new shop!
Haven't seen the whole thing but those straps are looking a bit... Small. Get straps that are rated for 1000lbs work load or better.
Thanks, dad
new DOG?!?!
We're fostering! just for a few more weeks. Toby doesn't like dogs.
Cool dude! I want to build my own too, and i dont even have a crash pad
nice job! I got it for 106 on sale at REI. shipping cost is 160 . uber is 35. subway is $3. going to pick it up in the city next week. Great wood work job!
thanks for watching! Id love to buy good wood instead of scrap. it was a little flimsy. I just moved and want to make a new one
yoo, randomly remembered to check on your videos to see how your project was going and this update is awesome! Subbed to make sure i dont miss future updates.
Really appreciate it!
You inspire me so much 💙 Congrats on the move and hope you enjoy all the projects 🎉
Back on that grind 🫡🤠🏴☠️🦝🚜
Nah doane you are underrated man !! keep up the good work !
Appreciate that ⚡️
i also broke the middle bolt. i spent all that time trying to get the right torque spec (55) and it broke anyway. annoying. thanks for the help
No problem! Not the only one I’ve snapped but a very important one ☝️
Thank you for helping me, I had just broken a valve cover bolt and I had a gut feeling that you could just extract it with a vise grip. Thank you for confirming my suspicions
Glad I could help
No feeling so bad about my old piece of shit 98 prowler it’s got a heavier build and us still around this thing will only make it a couple winters seriously
Use yellow not green and also leave the back ground as it is ! look up mustafa hanif as reference
You should use bright colours on thumb nail you would get more views !!
thanks! i'll remember that
hope this one's better. i think im a little colorblind 😸
Nice Tremor! I have a 2022 in Agate Black 401A package and love everything about it. It tows my 2022 Geo Pro 19FBS beautifully. Safe travels!
Pulls hard! Enjoy it
Thanks for your work on this! Wife was sold on them, glad we waited. ✌
Thanks for watching
That took for ever!!! And the most expensive technique I've seen yet.
Looks good though
Made in China lol
Yeah, was thinking of going with the ember... but some man videos and reports. Have offically push me away. From that
sweet truck. We've got an Expedition with HD tow package and just reserved a 221MSL. Pickup in late Feb/early March.
Thank you very much. Hope you like it
just seen this came from young bloods.....talk to roger he is 100% legit at least he did me right.
#imo just my opinion #EMBER is complete trash......sorry js
Ok
the video would be better if you were topless.
2nd viewers !!!
When the inverter goes into sleep mode just go turn the main battery disconnect off then back on, it will wake up... Well, mine does on the 191MDB.
Thank you. I'll try that next time.
Maybe they will get it right in 10 years. It’s ok to be mad, I sure would be for the price paid.
awesome video bud! your skillz have lvled up!
I like to think so. The tools have gotten better and it’s gotten easier. Lots to come. Thanks for watching dude
Pretty sure leaks in an Ember is a design feature.
Max Leak package am i right
When looking for a camper, Ember was on our list. After watching many videos of this brand, we moved on.
wish i coulda watched a couple more videos instead of making one..
Looks like a covid build. Everything that was built during that time is junk. Half way put together buy who ever wanted a job.
Wow! Total junk!
It’s taken some polish but it’s a little better now. Got more upgrades coming
Thanks for sharing Doane What a joke Ember is. They seem to have picked up all the bad habits from the other RV builders. I certainly won't waste my money on an Ember....
“Backed by industry vets…” this will certainly be our last camper for better or worse.
Thanks for posting. No trailer made within 300 miles of Elkhart is anything but disposable. The industry is low-cost. You get what you pay for.
For better or worse this is the last one we buy. So far tho after fixing it up it’s not bad.
Dang, lots of work to get to that fuse (and put everything back together). Hopefully it was some kind of weird electrical spike that blew it, and won’t happen again!
Who knows! I keep some spares now and I left that big cover off in case it happens again
Once you have done it a few times, replacing this fuse takes less than five minutes.
How sad you’re not the only one that has faced abundance of issues with their Ember. So I backed off and went with a Grand Design and no real issues other then black-out shades and warranty sent me out new ones and I replaced them myself. For the amount of money you spent on that rig it’s sad. No one should go through what your going through! As of today I hope it’s been worked out…Sadly no real Lemon Laws pertaining to this industry.
I just got done fixing my refrigerator before a trip next week. I could count on one hand the issues we had with our GD. Miss that thing. But I’m running out of fingers and toes with the Ember.
I seen where Grand Design was having frame flex/broken frames on their RV's.
@stsid1 can only speak to ours. It was fine. Everyone’s seen something nowadays
Congratulations !! I am in FL also and will soon be looking at Rving... From what I gathered online every brand has issues the key is to catch things like water intrusion early so it can be fixed before it damages other things. Good Luck !!! I think the larger the trailer the more the torque and twist causing problems inside
Good job my friend :> love from PK
Thank you for the helpful video. Did Ember ever reach out to you after you published this video? Or offer you any kind of assistance after the fact?
No. First person I talked to said “don’t know. good luck” when asking about some issues. Next person wanted me to pay out of pocket and to be reimbursed. Neither would have factory service done. And told me to take it to a dealer. AFAIK both left the company long time ago. Did get kicked out of their Facebook group tho. Can’t remember if it was before or after the video. Groups are full of folks with issues. Many worse off than mine.
@@doanegarage Strange. Sorry to hear, can understand the disappointment, especially when you spend your hard-earned $$.
@AdventureRocks in truth it’s not all bad. I’ve learned a lot about its systems. So far the frame seems ok. Tows well. Taking it out next month. So I got to address some more issues real soon
What's you're thoughts on using at&t prepaid vs at&t contracts ? I asked a techy youtuber in the past about TracFone and he was concerned about getting detected easily with a pre paid. "I don’t recommend any prepaid phone plans because those often get blocked by the carrier when used in another device."
I've no experience with ATT so i can't really say. But Verizon did catch my parents trying to swap a sim to an ipad. made them buy a plan just for their ipad. They do have the ability.
Was it used? They should be fixing all this for you on a new camper.
You’re right. But scheduling appointments months out and being without our camper for the weeks or months it’ll take to fix its many issues is more trouble. I’d rather fix it myself now and enjoy as much as we can. Got more fixes coming soon.
@@doanegarage ah. Ok. Yea it can take awhile to get service at some places. It only took about a week for bishs to get mine back in after I bought it. I have an ember touring addition. Just minor things to fix after I tested it out. But honestly I had the same type of issues with my previous trailer after purchase.
I was considering buying a RV. This has convinced me NOT too. This resembled a SNL skit.
How did you make the Murphy bed stay up like that for working under it?
Mine came with struts
How many amp hours are each of your batteries?
Excellent!!!!
Does it get so cold to make the battery disconnect needed?
No I live in Florida. But I may add one for storage. But this things about to go out to our property semipermanent.
