Приєднався 3 жов 2020
This channel is a great resource if you are thinking about buying an RV, or you have recently bought an RV and are still trying to figure it out. We focus mainly on Mercedes Sprinter based Class C's and Entegra Odyssey Class C’s. The channel will include some "how-to's" for newbies, some upgrade and gadget and accessory reviews, and of course some travel videos. Come along for the ride!
We Got Solar!
This video shows how we added solar to our 2022 Enter Odyssey 26M, and identifies the specific products and materials used in our solar build. If you have been thinking about adding solar to your RV, this video is for you!

Thank you very much for making this video and helping me to learn how to do the wiring on my Fiat 500 Pop myself. Bravo!!
Thank you for the tips Bobby C! You are brilliant and your tips really helped me with my battery issues. I’m indebted to you!
I thought you were about to RAP!
Is your Fiat automatic or manual? Can you flat tow automatic Fiat 500?
@@TamyraHy1 no
What is the bottom water input used for?
@@drbinatr ?
Thank you this answered all my questions
Great video. Does anyone know the actual weight ratings for the 26M? GVWR supposed to be 14500. I saw one dealer said "dry" weight was 12700, but that is not feasible since it would only leave 1800 lb for fluids, passengers and cargo.
very good tips Bobby,water fresh water overflow tip i like ,my MH IS A ODYSSEY SEN 22C,has the water filter behind a drawer in bedro om,very painful to get at.thanks
I have a class C and am trying to decide between a mini cooper and the fiat I watched you do on your last video. Is there a reason you chose the Fiat over another mini cooper?
Thank you, Bobby C! I always review video instructions before winterization of our 2016 Melbourne each fall and your instructions and tips are by far the best and easiest I've ever used. THANK YOU! And "see" you again next Fall! Meanwhile, subscribing to your channel. Steph
Thank you for your videos! Just completed my install seamlessly thanks to you!
Thanks Bobby C. SteelersNation!
Foe all planning to purchase Please pay the price and find someone who is knowledgeable and has attention to detail to pre inspect before you purchase somthing you dont know what to look for that will cost you more mony after you purchase. Even a $2000 inspection will be cheaper than unseen or disclosed needed repairs after you own it.
Is this car a manual transmission? Do you have to have a manual shift to use Blu Ox?
@@jamesroland9960 manual
Thank you. first year and you were our source for everything. Great resource.
@@soleary0339 thanks
Thank you for this. Very helpful
Very well done sir, the best video I’ve seen to make so easy to follow.Thanks again😊😊
@@SteveGorham-ut6et thanks
Thanks for posting this looking at the Entegra Odyssey 30Z
for the love of God please DONT. Please find someone with knowledge and attention to detail to inspect the unit before purchasing. One of our customers did not and bought a Entegra with water damage hidden by someone who painted all the interior ceiling panels, now they own a rolling fish bowl..Don't buy any new RV. Every manufacturer from pop up to Entegra cornerstones, exclude Renagade, are built by people on rate as long as they get the number of units out the door required per day they don't care about quality just be home by 10 am. All buyers should receive a quality purchase regardless of price. however what you are getting is absolute SHIT. Built by people who don't care and passed through Pdi who also don't care . Renegade is the only manufacturer who still pay per hour and actually build a quality coach. All can have issues I am more than fully aware as a service technician in the rv capitol of the world. You would think that this it would be easy to find knowledgeable technicians, not at all. I have been a service manager and you can't find anyone who gives a shit or try and retain information.I am very familiar with Entegras and they are nice polished P.O.S. THAT COULD BE SO MUCH BETTER IF ATTENTION TO DETAIL and better quality parts. While during my time at Entegra $100,000 is part of the price to cover warranty work. IMO all manufacturers have a 2 year warranty to me that does not say much for your craftsmanship for the price customers are paying. ANYTHING FROM COVID TOO CURRENT IS A P.O.S. STAY AWAY FORM 2019 AND NEWER EVEN THE NEW2025 ENTEGRAS ARE SHIT. 2017 and older are a nice coach. I have never worked for Renegade just having to take rhem apart to repair compared to others is night and day you can't find a better built unit other than a Prevost.
We have a 30Z and love it
Hi Bobby, what size of solar panel are you using to trickle charge the battery? thanks, carl
@@carlnippard 2 400w solar panels
@@bobbycandtherv sorry , i meant what size solar panel trickle charger ( the one seen in this video }do you use to trickle charge your chasis battery?
Looks like you’re in the burgh. Same here new to E450 chassis. What Tire pressures do you run in your Entegra coach? Ours is 32ft9 in. Front cold 75 Rear cold 80. TIA
@@basecamp2252 Same
Useless
What are your thoughts on the GC6AA-10-A. The heater works fine on propane in 10 min with hot water but electric mode doesn’t seem to get hot in 10-15 min. I was told it takes much longer to heat the water in electric mode? I can hear a slight hum in electric mode so I believe it is trying to work.
Good instructional video on winterizing. Thanks!
Thank you for your flat tow install on your Fiat. Did mine and pulled great. I’m from Pa too maybe see you out on the road thanks again
Very well done. You captured everything you need to know. Even righty tighty --- lefty loosey. Loved this.
@@kathleenwegner6672 keep it loose!
Good walkthrough video. You can get a lot better performance out of your coach battery setup if you replace them with a matched set. Mismatch batteries - different age, different CCA, different design - dramatically affects battery performance. Our two Interstate batteries easily runs the lights, refrigerator, and furnace fan all night when boon docking on the road.
What's the product for the black tank
Any issues with the solar panels coming loose or worse coming off due to extreme wind from driving given that they are just secured with 2 sided tape? I would like to install solar as well and would rather not drill any holes in my roof but want to make sure no issues with the tape.
@@jillmark99 no No issues with the tape
Thanks for the info on using Habor Freight solar to keep battery charged.
Crazy! Thanks for sharing
Newbies here.... would love to see a video on "packing up" Exactly like you've shown here, which is awesome, but now the steps you take when leaving, please. (flushing out stuff, etc.) Thank you !
Thank you. I'm in this situation now. Very useful
This video does not demonstrate how to swivel the seat.
I am newbie. When should I winterize my RV E0 type C 2024 ? I bought it in October 2023. Today is June 2024. I have been using it during most of that time. Thank you .
Thanks for all your great help! I bought a used Melbourne 2020 24L and was at a loss on how to do things. I have watched ALL your videos and learned so much. Cleaning my lines & tanks was a must as I had left water in my RV and learned that YOU DONT DO THAT. I now have beautiful fresh water. THANK YOU Bobby C!!!
I am enjoying your videos. My wife and I are considering replacing our Grand Design travel trailer & Ford f250 for either a Mercedes based chassis class C or Ford chassis. Since You have had both, what would You say are the pro & cons on each? We are looking at the model You have now, Odessey 26M or possibly the Odessey 24B. Thanks for your feedback. David
Super info Thank you! We are newbies and need all the help we can get!
Nah....gtfo with your Clickbait bro. You have to give us the full nut, *then* entice us to see more of your stuff. You gave me a free food sample at the store, but then told me to give it back after 1 chew. 😂😂😂
Great job! Thank you! 😎👍🏼
We are considering buying the 26m. Good video, thank you.
We are selling our RV for $80,000
What about when the top piece comes loose? How do I fix it?
Don’t know how
WE R...V
Thank you so much for your videos. I am looking for a diagram of the undercarriage of my 24b for jack placement. Do you know of anything like that? Most of what i can find is in regards to automatic leveling. Thank you
Great videos. We are new first time owners and can't tell you how happy we are you made this channel.
Thanks for the video. Very informative. I love the details. Thank you again.
Thank you!
What's the reason for adding the new bulbs versus just tapping into the existing wire to the existing bulbs?
Thank you Sr!
Just got my little Fiat set up for towing. I have towed a vehicle on a tow dolly but never flat tow. My owners manual says to leave the key in the ignition when towing. There is no steering wheel lock so why leave the key in the ignition? Is that necessary?
thanks for sharing. we're n the market to upgrade to a C. learning more then ever. we've been bumper pulling for 20+ years
