Thank you for letting us know! We have been looking into one of these units for our RV and another for an old Unimog 406.
great! 😊
Yes, but what did you fix? What was wrong, it would be helpful to know the problem.
Thank you so much!!
Wverybody complains about the manual. Start leaving bad reviews for the heaters and maybe they will fix it.
what a guy. Thank you
Great video! Thanks for posting! I finally got my remote to work! 😂
Thank youuu
How you get it to go past 20 mph? Mine shut out at 20
Any old computer power supply can be converted easy as, few videos on youtube
Como desbloquear o controle esse círculo vermelho com um traço no meio? Plis 😢
Thank you for your prospective and advice
well done and thank you
I took it for a big ride today. Battery hold up pretty well on a 24km round trip
@@Winniebago I am in northern Ontario (mid north) and am looking at one for my retreat and homestead
Im enjoying it so far off roading. Not sure about anything crazy like jumps and stuff but had a blast on the trails today. Looking at getting a small trailer for it as well
@@Winniebago awesome if you can please us in the loop
after 1 months it still wort it? I want to buy 2 one for my gf and me but I didn't see vidéo of it in long term
Nice video. Really good points to think about.
Found o e at Walmart $60
that's a great price! It folds up really nicely for camping.
Thanks man i was struggling with it
Instructions are terrible on pretty much all of these
Your still living in your parents basement it seems, phuck, cover the insulation you lazy person. QEW & North Service Rd.
Pilot wont light, but sparks. I've done the q-tip/pipe cleaner, got some black crap out, no change. Tried some compressed air, no change. Tried several 1# propane tanks, no change. It's on high laying on side overnight. Fingers 🤞 and cold toes crossed it lughts in morning. I'll let u know either way.
I hope it works. This guy held out for a bit longer (the coldest part of winter) and eventually died no matter what. Almost a year of sitting on its back I guess. I bought a new one and hope itll last much longer knowing what I know now.
Safety first . Always wear sandals for off road 😂 Good review thanks man
I use my safety sandals in every situation 😎
Sweet Hog!!
🔌⚡️⚡️
may i ask for the model and make of your fridge ? this is what i'm looking for
I'm not sure..i think its a whirlpool? I got it off fb marketplace for $100, a steal. There's plenty of similar ones online
Hey man Despite what some might say This works It’s maybe 30-40 degrees F here And I’m freezing my toes in fog I unhooked it, held it upside down over my head and shook it and spanked it It’s now working just enough to run lit I remembered you and others saying this And now it’s working, Thank You ☦️
Thats awesome! Slightly functional is better than freezing!
If you think of doing a rebuild at some point, you could relocate the bed at the back and turn it into a Murphy bed and use the overhead deck as storage space. More feasible at the moment, to be more stealth, you could add fake venting grill on hinges over the window 🤔. Thats what I'm planning to do my box truck (when I can buy one).
Yeah, the insurance, sheer size and weight of 14 feet box trucks with duelies (that many cities outright ban from parking in the street) is a huge hassle. That's why I'm going for a more compact build with a 12 feet box with a single set of rear wheels. Fitting a livable space will be a bit more challenging, but the savings and far less troublesome weights regulation are worth it!
The look your dog gave you when you said “and even with a pooch” 😂
Hes my costar! He's gotta pull his weight in these videos!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🤯🤯🤯🤯
Worked perfectly thank you!
Great to hear! Their instructions really do suck!
@@Winniebago oh man! totally suck! haha Thanks again!
Awesome video!
P r o m o s m 🌷
Dude, looks awesome. Are you considering keeping the rough exterior? I like the little window as well; I would do another or 3. Ladder... glad fixed ladder work for many. I'd always have a folding ladder.
This was a rush job but the crappy apparance helps w stealth. Im building 2.0 shortly now that i have a stable base at my dad's house.
They claim their lives were hard because they were incompetent, yet despite that they had wonderful lives.
One person working full time (REGULAR jobs, not fancy ones) and yet 90% of them were homeowners
Nice rig
Thanks..hopefully starting the next one in a few months
ok thanks that worked
Glad it helped!
I believe Thats to open your door if the battery goes dead in the fob
It does work that way indeed. I forget whether it can start the car or not though
@@Winniebagonope
This is super helpful.
You did an amazing job with limited time and resources.
Brrrr. It's cold in here.
Glad you're in a safe space.
Good review. thanks
Really helpful! Thanks
Glad it was useful!
So I just had the same issue, top was rusted on. Did you end up having to replace the whole thing, or did you get it off?
I actually ended up getting it done at my next mechanic appointment as it was pretty stuck and i REALLY didnt want to jiggle a distributor wire loose.
Great fix. Thank you. In my pre-build ambulance I depend on my B.H. to keep things comfortable. Mine did this gurgling non-start deal and had a tough time figuring it all out. Thanks again and all the best to you! 😊
I stupidly left mine lying on its back during the summer when i wasnt using it which didn't help at all. Glad it worked!
I do the same thing. Not because it's all that hard to get to, but because you can do it without spilling a single drop. That is tough/impossible with a 5 gallon jug of diesel.
Its pretty easy, even without s funnel
The problem is that this is a temporary fix . The oil is still stuck inside the tubes and parts . Too truely fix it you would have to disassemble everything and blow the lines out with air .
True but if youre freezing cold and just need heat that night you'd be plenty glad to get it working
Everyone I've asked has had no luck getting it back together. Watched one yt that showed how to do the line that always seems to be the issue. What do I have to loose if I can't get it back together, buy a new one.
Great job! 👍 Chick 🐔 🐣🐤🐥 brooder Etsy digital download artisan building plans for $49.99 have nothing on your creative build!💪🛠
🤣. Creative and BROKE are often the same thing!
Great idea and nice job.
Thanks! Looking forward to adding some chicky friends to it!
Great video, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Canadian Tire has a device called Pocket Pump flex. Super convenient, takes AA batteries. Would work easily for you. They are a little costly 60 or 70$. Hope this helps
How big are they? Ive seen HUGE ones at princess auto but they wouldn't really work for me
@@Winniebago the one I have would work for you judging by what I saw. They aren't huge
