Instead of my usual video about my Lazy Daze RV renovations or my urban homestead, I thought I would share this quick and easy tutorial on how I installed an electric hoist to remove my daughter’s Jeep hardtop.

There's a saying - "A friend with a boat is better than owning a boat", but is that the same with RVs? I recently offered to let a friend borrow my RV and things did not go as planned. Was it a bad decision to let someone else take my beloved Mr. Green? #lazydazerv #RVliving

If someone else breaks it, I paid for the repairs!!! Lessons learned!! I think I do see a marked difference with the headlights. They shine!

    Lovely Linda, I think your videos ( whether stumbling as you go through RVing/Life, etc., or not ) really are informative while explaining the thought processes you take to arrive at a solution. Although we are all learning as we journey through life. I'll leave you with this life-lesson this Jiu Jitsu Master passed along his wisdom upon his death. He stated " Embrace the humility and hunger of a white belt ". Since he was obviously a blackbelt or highest belt whichever, but early on he had taken the attitude of a " white belt " throughout his life ( thereby learning at every turn and from everybody/everything ). Until you can " Snatch the pebble from the Master's Hand ", you're go far in life ...... and in Life. Always, Syn Silver !!!

Best way is to drive the rv for about 5 miles and then stop leaving motor running. Then back rv up and look on the concrete to see if there is any oil leaking out. If not your good and if there is oìl then it needs to ne fixed before costing you thousands of $. Have a safe trip.

That’s a great price, and they get all the old fluid out. I’m not trying to be rude here but all you did here was waste money. The filter on RV transmissions need to be changed cause they will sludge up bad from not driving and that then plugs the filter and you get no fluid flow and your transmission may start slipping. But if you do continue doing it yourself, the transmission fluid does require it to be checked while the engine IS running, the transmission must be hot, and the transmission must be in neutral. If you check any other way, you will get vast fluid level differences so it’s extremely important to do it correctly. Just because the water level in the batteries is ok does not make the battery automatically good. You need to also perform a load test on it which will give you an indication of the charging health of the battery

Upon arrival at the campground the engine was running very rough due to vapor lock. After letting the engine cool down for about 20 minutes, it started and ran fine again. We have had temperatures in the 100's here, so we broke camp earlier in the morning b4 the intense heat and had no issues coming home. Anyway, it was another great trip in our old Lazy Daze RV.

With extreme heat and traveling in the mountains with the difference in altitude can cause the fuel to change from a liquid to a vapor due to the engine being too hot. By allowing the engine to cool, all was well again. I will ask my mechanic if we should install some sort of heat shield, but since this is the first time we've had to deal with this, it probably isn't anything too serious.

    I think it was a good thing. You learned that an older vehicle can have issues. Personally, my vehicles are a part of me. Friends that are n my circle I would do anything for. 3am i’m in jail call has me out of bed and on my way to post bail. No questions asked. So friends they can borrow/ use anything I own. But a little bit further out friend. Nope. I don’t own an RV but would like to. It would be big fun to trick it out. I like your vibe and will look back at your vids…. Be careful about having transmissions fixed or replaced. I was desperate once with a van I used for my business and paid 4500 to replace the transmission. I have a mechanic now who is one of the Ill do as little as possible kind of guy, and he still does solid work. THe trans went out on my Lexus ls 430 and I got a quote from Lexus for 7500. He found a used one and installed it for 500. It is running great 2 years out…. even if you trust your mechanic get a second opinion.

      Thank you so much for writing all that insight. I honestly have never serviced a transmission but from the sounds of it might not be too difficult to change out the fluids. I’m going to start with that first and if it still has issues will take it to a shop. Thanks for watching my video!!

    Sounds like you had a concerned and considerate friend that, when the fault materialized , took the necessary care and diligence to get Mr G back home.. Would I lend something of mine to a long term friend?? Yes to some, no to most altho we do have an understanding of, You crash it you buy it, except damage from normal wear and tear etc.. Im pleased everything worked out in the end ✌🤙🤙

      Hey, I like how you called it Mr. G! I like the ring to that! And thanks! I agree that probably really close and trusted friends and family might be ok but wouldn’t make a habit of it.

    So sorry for the problems and the stress involved with that. As I have mentioned before, we also have a 1996 Lazy Daze with the Ford E350 chasis. Our mechanic has serviced our transmission a couple of times when he nnoticed minor leaks. One of the things he recommended is to take the RV for a short drive at least every 3 weeks in order to get all the fluids circulating, which I do all through the off-season when we are no longer camping. I also add "Sea Foam" gas treatment whenever we finish the camping season, which stabilizes the fuel. Anyway, thanks again for your videos.

      Thank you for the great tip. I definitely didn’t drive it around in the off season as much as I should have but now I will make a point of it. Thanks again!

    Hello Linda, It's just bad luck, but this mishap could have happened to you during a trip with your camper van. The worst is not certain, nothing serious happened. Try to be less anxious even if it's not easy. Marc

      Seeing her go to the festival makes me want to go to something like that now. Looked like a lot of fun! We should plan to meetup, that would make it even better 😊

    It is okay to have something and like and care about it. It’s great everything worked out for all. It was a nice gesture to loan it. An RV is more personal than a car. 🤔😂👍👍
