I had foggy headlights on my old Ford Taurus as well. Meguires makes a product just for that that works very well. Cleared them up beautifully. Also, I’ve heard that Mr. clean magic erasers work well too.
Nice magnetic signs. Hope they stay on, during your road trips. Usually the wind rips them off after a while, driving down the highway. Maybe before putting them on, and maybe once a month, clean the van surface and the back of the magnetic plate. Tiny stones/dirt deposited there from rains, splash ups etc., may give the wind its chance to lift it off your van. If I'm driving through Illinois and I see one on the highway, I'll get it back to you!
Eric you did the best thing buying the camper van and I would start living full time in the camper. As for the class a every thing is in shortages, it’s parked safe and sound. Go and travel. Give the kitties a hug.
Smart idea doing the huge magnet advertisement rather than a wrap or something expensive. Plus you can keep it as a souvenir if you sell Vanna White someday.
And that's why we have 6 cameras on the outside with signs indicating as such. Like the past, they'll be famous on my channel if they throw a garbage can at my RV, or climb my rear ladder to steal a solar panel, or steal my RV toys, or siphon my gas.... lol. You guys mock me for the cameras.... but those 4 videos are my top grossing videos and saved my butt.
Looking good Eric. The only suggestion for the Aux tail lights on the carrier would be to switch the Running lights with the Indicator lights. the outer ring is way to bright as running lights. take care
Same weather here in Syracuse, New York. I love the rain, but like you said, it's so humid, rain doesn't help. Glad you got the van, enjoying watching the fix- up.
North East..(NY) has been unusually rainy this year as well. Would love to see travels in this direction, but beware of the potential rain this direction too.
I think you getting the van is brilliant. Changing things now and again makes for great video as far as I'm concerned. Hope you find your camshaft but for the time being - have some fun.
Looks great, love the new lights--little things make such a difference! The magnets are great however beware, I used them when I owned a business and at high speeds on the highway in Northern Indiana, I lost one---and a few days later the other came off. They were very secure and I hated that I could not just stop and pick them up, but I could not. Hope you have better luck than I did.
If your Headed Back to Ohio anytime soon. Id be happy to take a Ebike or Two off your hands for my wife. The magnets are a great add to the Van. Cant wait to see the Solar install. Thanks for sharing all the great videos.
Eric, you are the RAIN maker, you should drive out to the wild fires and bring that rain out there. Keep having fun, and we love the videos, take care.
I like the van videos. You are one of the channels that give entertainment and useful information at the same time. Ive had to pivot before too after my trailblazer broke down and its necessary to do that if you want to go on adventures, stay busy and stay sane. I think you are doing well with everything that has happened. I couldnt imagine just staying home twiddling my thumbs and waiting for problems to sort themselves out.
Your channel is still great and have enjoyed your progress so far on the camper van. The kitties are great, love their funny ways. I am always glad to see the next adventure.
Love Vanna-white more and more as you make modifications Eric. Also wish you could someday replace your old MH V10 with a new crate 7.3 L V8 but that would be pretty expensive. Drive safe and happy camping!!
Love the magnets! I have a 2009 Pontiac that the lights are all cloudy. Nothing works to clean them. It's our second car so it's not used much but still annoying!
Hey Eric, nice video, turn down the brightness on those LED brake lights, and buy a new or slightly new engine for the big motorhome. Save yourself a headache.
That motorcycle carrier appears to extend about 2 feet past the bumper. How will that affect your departure angle, going out driveways? Have you installed any helper springs/airbags to support the motorcycle? I like your new opening scene/credits.
It will affect my drag. But I've travelled with this motorcycle behind for over 2 years off and on. You gotta evaluate each and every driveway before entering.
Here in Michigan we have been getting more than the usual amount of rain as well, or at least that's what it feels like. We have traveled out in our fifth wheel on two separate three week jaunts and it has rained a good amount of the time that we were camping. Came back home to 8 inch tall grass each time. Good luck on getting Miranda fixed soon. I wish I had some sort of connection that I could share with you on obtaining the needed parts...
Lights look great! I can't tell if the old lenses are smooth on the outside or not but if they are smooth they make restoration kits where you literally sand and buff the yellowness out of them. Cheers man!
Eric I have a 1989 RoadTrek with some really old headlights I've tried to clean up. How about putting a link up for the new headlights you bought? And maybe showing how bright they are from the cab after dark? Thanks in advance!
Van is looking Great Eric. Give the babies a hug from us here in n.c. yall be safe traveling. And enjoy yalls camping trip. See ya in a few days. Blessings always.
I thought about getting a pool like that and just putting a lawn chair lounger in it and take a nap. Being careful of not putting wholes on the bottom with the legs, of course. 😁
You are probably looking everywhere for a Stock Factory cam with factory specs. Try looking for a aftermarket mild cam at a speed shop like Isky for example. May improve performance as well.
Hey little brother those magnets are great, but be mindful they can also scratch the paint. My sister had some and she pulled them off and had exact same size scratch spot left on her car door. She may have left on too long but you never know...
If you can't get RV parts, what're you gonna do??? Good luck 🤞😸 finding the camshafts. I'm sure it's frustrating but at least you have the van!!! Happy Travels to you, Tara and Jax 💕💕💕
Eric I would like to say hello to you Jax and Tara.💙🐾❤️🐾 Also thank you for taking us along on your journey of repair, rebuild, and A E- Bike that just wants to go for a ride by itself. Love your videos love your channel and love your content. 💯💯💯👍❤️💙💛👋
Save the old headlights as spares. You can clean them easily. 1000grit wet sand then 3000grit wet sand. Finish with a polishing compound on a drill applicator.
Hey Eric! Send the e-bike to Matt Carriker (Demolition Ranch) to exercise his “special” form of demolition by pew-pew. LOL! In regard to the magnets…IF you value the current finish on the paint of Vanna White, DON’T use those magnets! Each time you place & remove them ANY dust, grit & grime which has accumulated at the edges (or under) WILL scratch the paint. Ken
Respect for Himiway for trying to make things right. Reality… everything breaks. Everything.

You might want to remove those magnets and put them in the van when you leave it. They may “walk” otherwise.
They may get haunted and roll off like that bike! 🤣
The first thing I thought to..keep those cameras rolling!!
Eric you did the best thing buying the camper van and I would start living full time in the camper. As for the class a every thing is in shortages, it’s parked safe and sound. Go and travel. Give the kitties a hug.
Smart idea doing the huge magnet advertisement rather than a wrap or something expensive. Plus you can keep it as a souvenir if you sell Vanna White someday.
Everything (most of it anyway) you do works very well for Miss Vanessa White. And as always, Tara & Jax are such lovable furkids.
Those big magnets would make a good souvenir for someone walking by.
And that's why we have 6 cameras on the outside with signs indicating as such.

Your e-bike demos are funny. I don’t blame you for dumping them for good. Can’t wait for your trip in Vanna White.
Looking good Eric.

the outer ring is way to bright as running lights. take care
Same weather here in Syracuse, New York. I love the rain, but like you said, it's so humid, rain doesn't help. Glad you got the van, enjoying watching the fix- up.
I'm not surprised to hear that Campervan Kevin helped you out. He's a good guy.
North East..(NY) has been unusually rainy this year as well. Would love to see travels in this direction, but beware of the potential rain this direction too.
I think you getting the van is brilliant. Changing things now and again makes for great video as far as I'm concerned. Hope you find your camshaft but for the time being - have some fun.
This is turning out to be the best van of that model I've seen yet.
You need to install a disconnect switch to the battery.
Looks great, love the new lights--little things make such a difference!

Make sure you put some dryer sheets spread out in Miranda's to keep the mice out before you leave base camp

Looks good Eric! The outtake at the end was funny!! Greetings from Nashville, Tennessee
In the future, use bug spray to clean off the lights on your car. Cheap and it cleans up that milky stuff really nicely!
Those new lights/bulbs make huge difference. Really classes up that baby. Don't forget your umbrella in your travels!
Eric, you are the RAIN maker, you should drive out to the wild fires and bring that rain out there. Keep having fun, and we love the videos, take care.
Wow the paint on that van is so good. Keep that baby waxed.
That's the plan!
Yes..go to NE in Vanna White . I have never been there. Love all your videos..Tara and Jax are so cute and fun to watch.
You are so handy doing those updates. Good luck and fun without moisture.
Looks good! Might need to move the headlamps down to compensate for the weight of the bike sagging the rear end.
Love how the van is coming along
I like the van videos. You are one of the channels that give entertainment and useful information at the same time.

You can't imagine that because you're awesome Diane!
@@pamelag2223 hi 👋 Nice to see you here!
Your channel is still great and have enjoyed your progress so far on the camper van. The kitties are great, love their funny ways. I am always glad to see the next adventure.
We have the same pool setup. Texas heat in August.... only way to keep cool.
Your van is coming together quite nicely and I do hope you get your camshaft soon
Your tiny home is really nice and looks so new with the new lights. It is nice that you will have a choice depending on where you go.
Hi Eric ,Tara and Jax!
Love Vanna-white more and more as you make modifications Eric. Also wish you could someday replace your old MH V10 with a new crate 7.3 L V8 but that would be pretty expensive. Drive safe and happy camping!!
You need an exorcism on that bike and are you sure your drive way isnt on an acient Indian burial ground ...lol🤣🤣
We could sure use that rain in California!! I think Seattle gets a lot of rain too.
Love the magnets! I have a 2009 Pontiac that the lights are all cloudy. Nothing works to clean them. It's our second car so it's not used much but still annoying!
The new lights on Vanna White make it look amazing. A brand new RV. It's beautiful.
Hi Eric.. the van is looking awesome 👍, the e bike obviously has issues, sounds electrical maybe.. love the kitties❤️, be safe🤗💗
Hey Eric, nice video, turn down the brightness on those LED brake lights, and buy a new or slightly new engine for the big motorhome. Save yourself a headache.
Having been raised in St. Louis I can appreciate that the summers are humid but I sure don't remember that much rain. Crazy.
Looks like the blinkers will work for those indecisive moments, do I go right or left! Lol
The camper is looking good. Fun project.
Haha.
Like the new magnets. They have a 90’s vibe which matches the van 🚐 perfectly in my opinion.
Nothing like upgrades on your New RV like the magnet signs 🪧
That van is looking great! We enjoy your videos and always look forward to the next one. The kitties are great too.
Love the Magnets! That Ebike is freaky! Walmart will buff out headlights for around $20 is you ever need it done again. Rain sure does love you. lol
New headlamps look so much better, if you get a can of "Off" bug spray, spray it on wipe off and cleans up like new. 👍
New for a couple of days...
Van is lookin better everyday.
That motorcycle carrier appears to extend about 2 feet past the bumper. How will that affect your departure angle, going out driveways?
Have you installed any helper springs/airbags to support the motorcycle?
I like your new opening scene/credits.
It will affect my drag. But I've travelled with this motorcycle behind for over 2 years off and on. You gotta evaluate each and every driveway before entering.
As a Roadtrekker I love the van vids. You are smart at reinventing yourself. Keep up the great work!!
Get out of southern IL, ST. Louis is what brings the rain off the MISS. River. Move North/East a little bit :)
A slender license plate frame would add to that cool finished look 😺🙂.
Tara is sooo cute on the dashboard. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Put an inline switch on the positive lead for battery on e-bike.

I'd check the welds on that receiver hitch and stress test your bike carrier
Enjoying the camper van upgrades Eric.
Lights look great! I can't tell if the old lenses are smooth on the outside or not but if they are smooth they make restoration kits where you literally sand and buff the yellowness out of them. Cheers man!
It's not on the outside. I cleaned the outside as good as I could.
@@nomadicfanatic Oh well was worth a try! New ones still make one heck of a difference for sure. Cheers man! Hope things are well!
Nice work on the headlights! Rain rain go away! 😄
Now go (daylight white) LED headlight bulbs up front. They make a world of difference.
Eric I have a 1989 RoadTrek with some really old headlights I've tried to clean up. How about putting a link up for the new headlights you bought? And maybe showing how bright they are from the cab after dark? Thanks in advance!
Van is looking Great Eric. Give the babies a hug from us here in n.c. yall be safe traveling. And enjoy yalls camping trip. See ya in a few days. Blessings always.
"Something." You asked for it. All hail, Tara and Jaximus Maximus!
Something.
Vanna is looking good. That leather tape looks like an interesting product.
Eric,
Why did you choose that “rainy wet” area for your base camp?
Glutton for punishment or a love in that area?
I’m sure it was a surprise. Not a good one!
I thought about getting a pool like that and just putting a lawn chair lounger in it and take a nap. Being careful of not putting wholes on the bottom with the legs, of course. 😁

Great video! I see that continuous rain cloud still follows you. Hugs to Tara and Jax.🐱🐱♥️
Love all the upgrades ✨ Caught that at the end …
Eric love your sense of humor … Never lose that … Hugs to the kitties 🐱
No pool party is complete without Mr. Hankey!!! 💩🤣
Hey little brother those magnets are great, but be mindful they can also scratch the paint. My sister had some and she pulled them off and had exact same size scratch spot left on her car door. She may have left on too long but you never know...
Laughing out loud..."son of a...." Sorry for your trouble, but that just struck my funny bone! Like the new magnets.
Love the improvements to this van!
i wonder if you could get a third license plate for the van for when you dont have the carrier on or maybe the state wont allow it.
If you can't get RV parts, what're you gonna do??? Good luck 🤞😸 finding the camshafts. I'm sure it's frustrating but at least you have the van!!! Happy Travels to you, Tara and Jax 💕💕💕
Eric I would like to say hello to you Jax and Tara.💙🐾❤️🐾 Also thank you for taking us along on your journey of repair, rebuild, and A E- Bike that just wants to go for a ride by itself. Love your videos love your channel and love your content. 💯💯💯👍❤️💙💛👋
I'm in Ohio. I know the pain of the humidity and 80-90 degrees. I hate it! Can't wait til fall.
ERIC, @00:49 make sure you CLEAN them off each time you go to put them on... the sand and mud will scratch the HellO out of your Paint! ! !
Oh my gosh, I was cracking up at the end! Great turn signals🤣
Your van is looking so awesome Eric!👍🏼😊
That E bike is possessed!😳
Eric, just wondering about the new set of lights for the van. Can you add a link to where we can get them.
Have fun Eric BE SAFE& ENJOY I THOUGHT SOLAR FOR THE VAN WAS NEXT LOL
I'd reserve the magnets for parked display
Save the old headlights as spares. You can clean them easily. 1000grit wet sand then 3000grit wet sand. Finish with a polishing compound on a drill applicator.
VannaWhite is looking very classy 🧡
You do have a lot of energy 😘
We took out benches and took out refrig in camper . Alot of work.
Aloha! Nice work on Vanna White! Love the kids. Thank you for the videos. I love traveling with you.
You have to sand and polish those old headlights, maybe even spray new clear on them.
I’m enjoying the van build
All that weather seems good for a garden, if you were not a nomad.
Great video! Got the giggles watching the bike take off. Got the giggles again when the blinkers were backwards. 😂
Van looks great. Always have a back up plan young man so you can stay on the road.
I live in northern Illinois and I swear we don’t get rain like you get rain 😆. Im thinking you might be in southern Illinois ?
Why did you pick the particular year on the RV van vs a later model?
The VannaWhite is lookin Good!!! Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing ❤
Hey Eric!
Send the e-bike to Matt Carriker (Demolition Ranch) to exercise his “special” form of demolition by pew-pew. LOL!
In regard to the magnets…IF you value the current finish on the paint of Vanna White, DON’T use those magnets! Each time you place & remove them ANY dust, grit & grime which has accumulated at the edges (or under) WILL scratch the paint.
Ken
Hey Eric Jax and Tara, I think that E- bike is haunted. Lol too funny. The van is looking great. Like the new logos too.
Turtle Wax makes the best kit. For fixing your headlights
The seat looks much better!
