Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to provide me with feedback. I made this video since I was hearing so many others were asking how to remove it. Thanks again :) www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos

Thank you so much for watching and sharing what you used. Funny thing you mentioned this product amzn.to/49hXsWr , I just bought another brand of this product the day before you sent your message to me. I'm going to be replacing the 5 sided bathroom shower skylight dome and will give this stuff a try. Thanks so much Byron www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos

Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to share your knowledge with me and others. After reading your comment I'm going to write something in the video thumbnail to warn others to seek professional help because not all frames are not built the same (or something like that). And put something in the video description area mentioning this also. Unfortunately UA-cam will not allow me to modify video once posted at this time but may in the future, but I can modify the thumbnail I went into this project with all the concerns you mentioned and after a lot of thought I felt my plan to do what I did would work (I'm keeping eye on it to make sure the frame does not bend or crack and the welds hold up). Prior to installing this bike rack we were carrying our bikes in the back of our truck and decided to move them for a couple reasons. 1) It was a pain loading and unloading them out of the truck bed with our camper cover on. 2) With the bikes and other stuff in the bed of our truck it was hard getting to things. 3) We needed to reduce our truck weight so moving it to the rear of the trailer was a great option to get weight off the truck and reducing hitch weight. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos

Thank you :) I've done a lot of welding and fabricating over the years and was a welder/fabricator for a company for 4 years and welded everyday and at other companies on and off between other maintenance work. I really enjoy working with metal. And wood also. Flux core welding will work, just make sure you run it hot to get better stronger welds. Here's a good tip to help prevent welding splatter: Spray the outside and inside of the tip and the surface are you are welding with anti splatter spray (here's a example - amzn.to/4g1WPSP) To keep the tip clean and do other things with here's a good tool (here's a example - amzn.to/3OplLYC) Harbor Freight might sell these items. Another tip: practice welding different thickness of scrap metal together and see if you can break them apart.

I'm so happy this video helped you, did you get it fixed? Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to share your feedback. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to give me feedback. This is one of my favorite projects I've done to the trailer, No more worries about roof leaks and touching up failed sealant on the roof seams every 6 months. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos

Thank you so much for watching and your question. The display turns off by itself when you stop using it after around a minute or so

Thanks again Robert. Yes I installed a 10/3 wire from the 2000 watt inverter to the Automatic Transfer Switch. Since our trailer had no inverter prior to me doing this project I felt it was important to install the proper sized wire for the job. I'm not sure what size wire the manufactures are installing from 1000 watt inverters. What travel trailer do you have?

Thanks for watching and taking the time to ask your question Robert. We bought our trailer new and it came without a underbelly, maybe because we live in California and there is no real reason to have one here. We owned this trailer 6 years and never had a rodent problem and camp pretty much year round every other week at 3 nights each time and travel cross country every other year for a few months. Camping mostly in county and state parks where there are several rodents. One of the first things we did when we bought the trailer was to make sure we sealed up all the locations where anything would try and get in, like holes around pipes, etc. I believe that having a underbelly creates a space for them to get in and create nests and harbors them for the elements outside and allows them time to chew into your trailer.

@@thetraveltrailerguy thanks for you reply. I had sealed all the openings on the underbelly but a rodent stil managed to get in. I live in Texas, so I guess the floor would get pretty cold in the winter wihout one but totally agree that it would be better without it. Also not having one would make it easy to inspect and fix things especially if you are on a trip. I may remove it when i buy a new RV this year since I don't plan on using the RV in winter conditions. I like your videos as they are very detailed and you take the time to EXPLAIN and SHOW what you are doing.

@@RobertJory10 Thank you so much for your kind words about my videos. I wonder where rodent was able to get in? was it a mouse, rat or something else? Here's a video I made on where I store a portable waste water storage tank that I could not have done with a underbelly - ua-cam.com/video/HChZHrz5psk/v-deo.htmlsi=EuohF-jkO2gJ6Op9 Here' my "About" information I shared on my UA-cam page. I'm not sure if you read this already - A few years back I noticed a lot of people asking questions regarding RV's in several social media groups. I would do my best to answer questions to help others by sharing my knowledge but this would take a lot of time responding to others by typing and several questions that people ask are the same ones. So I decided to start making UA-cam videos to share with others on how to perform routine maintenance, troubleshoot, make all types of repairs, and to be creative and make modifications and improvements to their RV. Some of my videos can be long and detailed but I found it best to go into detail (you can skip through videos if you are mechanically inclined) in order for people that aren't that hands on are able to learn and hopefully feel confident after watching my videos will be able to perform work on their RV themselves to save money & avoid having to take their RV to a shop. You may be able to make better repairs than some of the RV technicians at a shop. Michael Bracewell

Thanks for watching and taking the time to educate me Kathy. Your tip will come in handy next time I go to remove this stuff, thanks again :)

Thanks for watching and for asking this question. It took around a total of 4 hours to complete. I did leave the adhesive to harden over night before I installed it back in the trailer. The ridged insolation is the ticket to strengthening the whole bed (you will notice the big difference doing this). I hope this information I useful. Here's a video I did awhile after fixing the bed frame that you might consider doing - ua-cam.com/video/cfoZuvQibvM/v-deo.htmlsi=3LG1gGu2wctoKaXR This is what I used in the video: (Qty 2) 20 Inch 30 lbs Gas Prop Lift Springs Rod Struts Heavy Duty - amzn.to/3AVjeQq 1 year UPDATE: I just got back from camping a few days after this video was put out and I'm happy to report the new struts did the job, no more creaking noises. I'm so happy its finally fixed and that I went with the 30 lb struts :) Our Murphy bed was making irritating creaking noises every time we moved around while sleeping. This was driving me nuts trying to figure out where the noises were coming from. I did some work that made it stop and I'm pretty sure I put a stop to this irritating sound for good. Is this happening to you? and if so how did you fix the problem? Word of Advice: before you go out and buy new struts for your bed to correct the problem make sure its actually the struts that are causing it.

Thanks for watching and your feedback. At the time I couldn't afford to go the Lithium route. But I did later as you can see in this video, Lithium batteries are the way to go - ua-cam.com/video/BXyL_d34zy4/v-deo.htmlsi=C-NwyV1K2b65_706 We bought another trailer in September 2023 and I installed a awesome Victron System and 4 - 100 ah Battle Born Batteries and 800 watts of solar panels. I have yet to post the video but will in the near future.

Thanks for watching and sharing your experience. I've seen your post and pictures in the Facebook groups. I have driven the interstates that are really really in bad shape with huge potholes that can not be avoided, in fact those potholes bent two of my axle spindles on the passenger side and I had to replace them :( I'm watching frame and may add additional structural support if needed and share what I do in a video. I sure appreciate you taking the time to write.

@@thetraveltrailerguy regardless of what happens going forward (repaired Lance or new trailer) you can bet a frame inspection is being added to my pre and post trip prep. Take care and keep the good content flowing.

1) Could be caused by incorrect voltage: Maxxair started now installing voltage regulators in the circuit boards to correct the voltage problem. 2) Or moisture getting to the circuit board: spray the board with 3 to 4 coats of Konform silicone spray, this will help save your circuit board Maxxair Fan Problems - Circuit Board and Motor Replacement | RV Living ua-cam.com/video/3-doLoCsk7k/v-deo.htmlsi=mQkHzuT-z1H89J09

I'm not sure if dimmers will work with a light bar. I would contact the light bar company and ask them. It may work or it may damage the light bar?

@@thetraveltrailerguy ok thanks for the reply. I have, just been waiting to hear back

@@BoDiddlydodah I'm thinking you can install a dimmer since I see some light bars do have dimmers.

@@thetraveltrailerguy Well I'ma give it a go anyway! I reckon if I fuse the connection it may blow before any damage is done to the light.

Thanks for watching and sharing how you feel :) This project was well worth doing, no regrets. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos

It should be powering off. You might try calling Dewalt and letting them know what problem your having and they may just send you a part to repair it? Its worth trying. Here's a video that I just found that may be helpful - ua-cam.com/video/Til5sVhvkD4/v-deo.htmlsi=TpHaS1TObjSRUVll

Hello Byron, I would highly recommend you complete a warranty form even if you are the second owner. Please read what I send to another viewer, your chances are every high in receiving a free replacement axle. If they do provide the axle and you are the second owner they call it "As a customer goodwill gesture" for the free replacement "Thanks you so much. I've included the Dexter online warranty claim form and limited warranty policy below. The warranty is for original owners only so you will see the question asking this on the form, if not be honest and select NO. If you do they may respond with an email asking if you are the original owner, be honest and let them know you are not and let them know your situation and they may send you a axle "As a customer goodwill gesture" Its important that you fill out the form completely as they look at it to approve or not approve the replacement or replacements of both axles. Provide pictures showing a straight edge on the wheels to show they are out of alignment. Check both sides of the trailer and if its only one side let them know that. If you have uneven tire wear take pictures of the tire wear. Make sure you provide as much information in the "Describe your issue" area. If draw a picture of the tops of all you 4 tires showing the tire groves, and write front of trailer and back of trailer. Take a tire tread depth gauge (amzn.to/4fBR0w7 ) and measure of the depth of each tread and record it on your drawing by each tire, take a picture of your drawing and submit it with your photos and mention what you did in the "Describe your issue" area. I hope this info is helpful, please feel free to ask more questions and let me know of the outcome."

@@thetraveltrailerguy thank you sir, I placed an order for the roller and thin roller with your Amazon link.

@@eddyfeddystacks Have fun, you will be happy you did this project. Thank you

I did not use any ring terminals to connect the 10/3 wires to the inverter. Remove the cover with 2 screws under that you will 3 screws (this is where you are now), loosen all 3 screws as far as they will go, under the 3 screws on the side of this area you will see where you slide the wires into holes, then tighten the screws to hold the wires in place. Note each of the individual copper wires will need to be twisted really tight in order to fit into these holes (some people struggle with getting them into the holes so be patient it can be done). I hope this helps, can you please let me know if it does?

Hello Julie you are correct to not attach a receiver hitch to the back bumper. I mounted my hitch receiver assembly to the frame, so nothing is attached to the bumper except the bumper. Keep an eye out next Friday 10/4/24 in the afternoon I will be sharing another UA-cam video showing the receiver hitch I installed that the bike rack is attached to.

​@thetraveltrailerguy thanks! We will do that!

@@JulieEmbriano I'll try and remember to share it with you here also :)

Thanks for watching and sharing Monica. I feel the same way, most RVs come with cheap quality faucets. I guess its all about money to them, if they would put in quality products we would not have to be dealing with them ourselves. This faucet will work for you. Take care

Thanks so much for watching and sharing. I really like how you are loading your bikes, I wish I had thought of that. I appreciate you letting me & others know. Hopefully others will read your comment. One question for you - How are you liking your bike rack and how long have you had it?

@@thetraveltrailerguy I am thoroughly pleased with my Swagman E-Spec bike rack. We used to fold our Electric e-bikes, put them in tubs, and put them in our trailer. This is so much easier and enjoyable and we take the bikes more than previously.

Thank you for watching and appreciating my video. I'm really happy how well it turned out. It was a long video but I felt it was important to share as much as I could so others would feel comfortable taking the project on themselves instead of hiring someone to do it for them. Yep Flex Seal tape and spray is not as good as Eterna Bond Tape, its made to stick and stay in place. Thanks again.

Thank you for watching another one of my videos again :) I hope you were eating popcorn while watching it :) That's great you were able to get out camping this year, we've been camping a lot this year. I'm not sure if I told you already but we went on a 10,000 mile 3 month long trip February - April with several stops from Northern California down south and along the coast to Key West Florida then up to North Carolina. It was a great trip and best of all the weather was great and it only rained a couple times in the evenings for a couple hours. Soon after we got home they all started getting hit with bad weather, lucky us and good planning by my wife (I just drive :) ). We pretty much camp year round every two weeks for 3 nights but we are home for a month trying to catch up on projects around the house.

Yes they are, I wish they would put more pride in their trailers. We have owned a 2020 Lance 2375 since last September and its quality built so not many repairs are needed. What trailer do you have?

@@thetraveltrailerguy Had quite a few over the years. Our latest TT was a 32ft Cherokee by Forest River. The build quality of it was absolutely terrible so we got rid of it. Just recently bought a 2250s Sunseeker motorhome. Same story but with the ford E series chassis, it gives me a little incentive to actually fix and upgrade many of the cheap deficiencies it the RV part of it.

And thank you for watching and your feedback. I make these videos to help others and to give confidence so people can tackle projects on their own instead of hiring someone. So its great to hear you are going to save money and tackle this project on your own. Thank you so much, you will be happy you tackled this project. www.youtube.com/@thetraveltrailerguy/videos
