@Plasmastorm73_n5evv Make that 4 of us! I had to pause the video and jum on here in the comments section and tell him in detail what needed to be done to get the new led style digital flashers to work as well LOL... He didn't know the led digital ones will sometimes need the 2 pins flip-flopped in the orignal connector in order for the new led style flashers to work... His was one of those applications where the 2 wires were backwards... I even sent him a link to the United-Pacific brand led flashers that I buy and use all the time, that INCLUDE a polarity flipping adapter peice that makes that a plug and play job to flip-flop the 2 pins if they are opposite of what they should be for the led style flashers
My boy Ralphie is genius for coming up with that Drilling with Jack pressure behind it now he just needs to come up with a tool you can actually do that with and patent it and he's set for Life 🧬
You kids are all amazing and seem to be able to do just about anything they try to do. Wawa working on her own VW Bug is amazing. Most kids will never experience this much love and encouragement from their parents in a lifetime. Keep the great family videos coming. Enjoy your trip and stay safe!
Excellent! Glad y’all got a cool vacation in the rig! I know you have a bucket load of memories, and some more thinking of improvements for it. Again, great with no break downs, and the Beatle came though✔️ Glad marge doesn’t drive her much😂❤️
Sorry Josh smashed his finger...working on cars and RVs is sometimes full of obstacles and dangers...y'all be careful and hope it recovers quickly. Wah and Ralphie are doing great work...very responsible young teens. Glory to God for Josh and Tosh on their parenting job.
This is a Million Dollar used RV!!! The amount of labor put into this RV is a phenom. I do not think anything on this beast has been left untouched. Should serve you well for years to come :)
WaWa is gonna be a boy's dream catch some day......auto mechanic, welds, sings, plays keyboard, excellent sketch artist, dead eye with the compound bow, and most of all pretty. How quickly can she field dress a 10-point?
If I was in E TN, I'd give Nabors some business. Much respect for how he treated Ralphie during install and for the care he put in. Love those old timers :)
Oh Josh, you know you’re getting older when the kids laugh at you under their breath when you say something you think is hip. I’ve been through this with my kids and now I’m pulling it on my grandkids. Hahaha. Love your videos, love your family’s dynamic. 👍👍🇨🇦
I've spent the last couple of months glued to this channel. My job for 50 yrs. was to assess all of the Countless facets of intelligence and creativity,. This family is off the chart in every area. I think Wawa is ready, eager an capable of learning about any and all aspects of her VW Bug.
I haven't finished the video yet, I'm at the 33 minute mark where you're working on the turn signals and just found the two Thermal-flashers... You was asking for help in the comments, well I'm the man to talk to about that hahaha... I'm more than happy to help you there... First off, one will be for the turn-signals them selfs The 2nd one will be for when you pull out the 4-way emergency flasher switch on the steering column. That's why they are 2 separate flashers. Ones for the left/right signal lights, and one's for the 4-ways... Next off... You do have the correct style digital LED turn-signal flashers, but I didn't see the polarity switching adapters with the ones you bought... With the newer digital flashers like those, one leg will be the 12v + input (power when the key is on) and the other leg will feed up to the turn-signal left/right switch, then ultimately end up powering the bulbs... The thing is, their was never a standardized pin-out for old school turn signal flashers (the old metal thermal flasher ones)... Meaning some vehicles will have the 12v + coming in on one side, and the output to the bulbs on the other leg... while some vehicles will be the exsct opposite of that, where the pin that goes to the bulbs will be on the one side, and the 12v + power feeding into it will be on the other... With the old ones it didn't matter, but when dealing with the new digital LED flashers like you bought, they will only work one way... Some vehicles they may be plug and play (where the 12v + Pin is already in the matching slot) while some other vehicles the 12v + Pin will be in the slot for the output to the lights, meaning it's flip-flopped backwards where you just simply need to flip/flop the two wiring pins is all to get it to work perfectly... The ones I recommend and have been selling/installing for customers for years, look just like the digital ones you bought, but mine (from United Pacific brand) include a nice plug and play polarity adapter that will flip-flop the two pins for you if needed (completly plug and play for either style setup that way)... You'll see what I'm talking about when you click my Amazon link here for them... You'll see how the ones I use include the black plastic polarity flip-flopping adapter for them... www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001GF1A0M?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
So long story short, simply flip-flop/re-pin the 2 wires in the factory connector and you'll have working led turn signals with those led flashers you bought
I so enjoy watching the channel and seeing the whole family growing up and not shying away from church activities. Also love reading the positive comments. My wife loves watching this with me and our dream and prayer when she retires is to have a place with some animals in Tennessee. All our kids are grown and we have grandchildren. God bless you guys and have a safe trip ❤🙏💯☝️
Great show, as usual! As a former RV tech, I would suggest that you seal all the screws that you send through the outside of the RV. The easiest way I know is to back the screw out, put some silicone on the hole and drive the screw back in. Squeeze out is good.
I used to think vice grip had the best channel but I have changed my mind, you have the best channel on the internet, keep up the great work family you are number one.I am going to check and see what I have to do to be a member, thanks again for all your hard work
Finally, IT's finished!!!! Its vacation time for test purposes. Of course, we all watched patiently as you worked your butts off so enjoy this trip Sleepdude and family!
Thank you for the best family oriented channel ever! I'm now past my days of wrenching on cars, and y'all work on some of my cherished memories. I truly enjoy your style of videos and the antics of Ralphie, Wha Wha and Squeezy. Y'all are the best parents, a shinning example of what families should strive to be. You and Tosh keep up the good work. P.S. my LaMancha buck "Houdini" is so in love with Granny.
Hallelujah!! I LOVED the 3 seconds of the kids ROCKIN in Church!! I think it's really GREAT that they are so talented and it's in the house of the Lord that they are shining!
Old school, secret, Josh, throw those seals and races in the freezer for about an hour and then take your finger burner torch and warm up the metal on the hub. It will practically fall together and then as it cools it will seal perfectly. We do that on semi axles and trailer axles, my grandfather showed me that about 40 years ago same thing also applies on ball joints that you have to press in
I'll say what I have said before... I love your family working together even when your are doing different projects. Your love for each other doesn't even have to be said it is completely shown by your interaction as you video. I actually watch so I can relax. Thank you and may GOD bless and be with you always.
Well congratulations to owning a daughter who is into music. She can play the piano and the drums .cool Wawa two thumbs up girlfriend .you keep music to the highs . Congratulations.
I wouldn't say 'owning'...that's not legal. I know what you mean though. hahaha! He is 'shirley' proud to have Wawa as a daughter, as well as Squeezie, and Ralphie too. Mama and Daddy SleeperDude hit the jackpot with them all. Blessed family and homestead going on there.
As far as the LEDs go One flasher is for your Hazards the other is for your turn signals. Also you may need to ground the actual tail lights themselves. When I converted to LEDs on my 06 Chevy I had to do the same thing a New Flasher and a ground at the tail lights. Hope this helps out a little bit. My Saturdays are now better! Thank You Josh and Marge and Ralphie Wa and Slinky Squeeze! Enjoy it all! God Bless!
To help the bug tow even better behind the RV add your bags & luggage and extra camping supplies and add them to the trunk and front seats of the bug... That extra weight on the front end will help it tow better at higher speeds and reduce wheel hop as well
I just love the way the hole family get stuck in and no ifs or buts. They just do it. What a lucky couple you are. Good luck with the holiday. You. All deserve it.
Use your giant sockets to drive the bearing seal, and also, they make the dingle ball hones in all kinds of different grits and sizes, you could buy one or ten and run it through the inside of that axle housing with a bunch of drill extensions. I bought an impact screwdriver because of you, already used it to break free some rusted bolts on my truck, fantastic tool.
My work requires a lot of travel , so I live in my r.v. most of the year... I worked in the same city for a year , then hooked on to move about 6 hours away.. I got about 20 miles down the road & my transmission went out .. Called a buddy who hooked on to my r.v. and a bout 20 miles further down the road a tire blew out . (On the rv). Put the spare on , 10 miles down the road the spare blew out & before we could get it off the road a third tire blew out... Murphy's law was workin o/t . Went to a Tractor supply & bough 5 new rims & tires , got back to the r.v. and the electric jack on the tongue would not work. Went back to tractor supple & bought two floor jacks & finally got all new tires on the r.v. And on my buddys hitch. It was 2 a.m. when we got to the r.v. park & I had to be at work at 7 a.m. via an Uber.. I change all my r.v. tires every 2 yrs , needed or not . I read that the sun breaks them down , but the hardest thing on them is sitting for long periods.. They get a flat spot , then overheat when you drive & that causes em to blow out ... Either way , Im not ever going thru another trip like that if I can help it.. Ole Murphy will sucker punch you in the nads sometimes , so my advice is to prepare for the worst & pray for the best..
That's some nice rear end cleaning! I suspect the previous owner took that rear end swimming a time or to! Maybe you should have left your glove attached to the hitch. Nice work by all!
There are two flasher relays on older vehicles, one for the turn signals and the other is for the emergency lights. As far as the left rear turn signal take hook it direct to a battery to see if the light itself is good. You may want to check the weather stripping on you walk in door on the RV. When you were on your drive, you can see a lot of day lite at the top of the door, and with all the work you guys have put into it I would hate to see it leak and cause damage. So nice to see your videos when they come out, but I do have to tell you that after I found your channel I went back a watched all your old videos and then I had to go from one video every day to one every week I had withdrawals, but I made it through without any professional help but it was a hard time in my life. God bless you and your family the way you and your family have blessed us.
Your family is so awesome! We, my family love watching you guys work on old cars together. It's kinda weird the similarities with your interests and mine as well as I have two girls and a boy.Keep up the content! P.S. Now my wife wants a bug. ALL THE BEST!
It came to me in a vision says the prophet Joshua.It might be prudent to buy a master brake cylinder and store it in the camper befor you start your expedition,Josh.This was prime family time and thanks for including us.
Steele Rubber makes good windshield gaskets, FYI. Drill into the wiper pivots & screw in zerk fittings. Fill it with boat trailer bearing grease. Lastly, replace the wiper drive arm bushings- when they go, it's at the worst time.
Huge kutos to Marge for the excellent video work, she seems to get all the cute stuff. I'm sure you have checked but I had an issue with the trailer ball being the wrong size and the problem didn't arise until putting a car on the trailer and the trailer tried to eat my $1500 tail gate. Didn't know it was $1500 until after. Love to all ya all.!!!
2 flashers on almost all cars / trucks by design in the 70's. , one was separate for 4 way emergency with separate power source / fuse. the other is blinkers with common use fuse shared sometimes with dome light or other items.
When you told Marge you wished you hadn't shown her the seal kit she she was admiring the tiny seals, at least she didn't say, "Oooo! Hairbands!"😂😂 It's hard to know what caused all that rust in the diff. Reminds me of a story. I have a '72 F250 that my dad's cousin bought new. He used to tow a boat with it and take it to the Puget Sound often. After just a couple of years doing that, he started having brake issues. When he took it to the dealer to be checked, the brake hardware had rusted solid from dipping the rear axle into the salt water at the boat launch. The Ford dealer had to actually replace the entire backing plate assemblies because the hardware was so fused to the plates they couldn't even free it up. Loving the videos. I think you've become among the top 3 channels I watch when I have the time.
Great video it so nice to see all your kids excelling at whatever they decide to do ..its obvious that you've both taught them anything is possible if you put your mind to it.....hope you have a great camping trip and you will be taking everyone who see the old Dodge pulling a Beetle back to the 70's !! Cool combo for sure ...looking forward to next week...Karl from eastern Canada
Josh, Tosh, Wawa, Ralphie and Squeezie, you all are amazing! I feel revived after watching your channel. such great content, production and family vibe. you give me hope in this crazy world we live in. Your knowledge is amazing. I’m sure you know it but you guys are already rich beyond words. With your family. I watch a lot of You tube. Almost no more “normal TV”. Your channel is by far the Best thing out there! Be proud! Your are blessed and in the prayers of many people. Thank you for your hard work and determination. Also love the scenes with the kids being musical. God bless you all!
@@Sleeperdude I found your channel with the first mini Winnie will it run and have fell in love with your amazing family. Thanks for another epic video. I love Ralfe’s welded flower he never ceases to amaze with his talents. Have a wonderful camping trip and can’t wait for the next video. PS please put Granny on a shirt. 😂❤️
Love the vids, I think Marge's words seem to be getting funnier as time goes on. quick tip when working with old plastics, heat it up if your going to cut it, or use a Dremel, or drill set to med speed with a cutting wheel on it.
I've been watching you guys for just over a year now. I really enjoy your content and how the entire family works together. You guys are a breath of fresh air in a world of of negativity. Keep up the amazing content. Also. Can you please tell me how I can acquire one of squeezies pcs of art work..
The family that camps together stays together as the saying goes. I am so happy for you guys that you can finally take the RV out on a little camping trip. Looking forward to seeing you having a good time on the kid's school vacation.
You're right by adding grease to the bearings, you need to consider the initial first drive break in. It takes a while for the lube to reach the axle bearings, you don't want to run the bearings dry.
You do not want to put grease on the bearings it will prevent good oil flow which prevents cooling . T hose bearings are oil bathed that’s why oil come s out when you remove axle. I work on tractor trailers for a living change out wheel seals constantly.
@@eddiepearl536 yeah and it doesn’t hurt to make sure that you got oil to the new bearings. We always jack our trucks up on one side and let it go to each bearing and recheck and fill again.
You are correct we always rotate the drive axles. But not the trailer or steer tires as they have hub caps with sight glasses and fill hole. Also overfilling can and will cause axle seals to blow out as you know. Causes a lot of fires with heated brake drums. Haven’t had that issue with the new bendix disc brake applications 😊
Absolutely My Favorite Channel on Not only UA-cam but Regular TV Too!!! lol You Guys are the BEST! A Reverse Camera in the RV would be a Ton better for backing up.
Hello everyone I always look forward to new sleeperdude videos I hope everything goes smoothly on your trip this year yall have been working so hard to finish the camper I know it will be a relief to finish it good luck on your adventure and God bless you all
Good afternoon, Josh, Tosh, Ralphie, Wawa, and Squeeze. Nice job at church with the Praise music! Joyous sound! Awesome job on the axel SleeperDude and Marge. Definitely recommend flaps on the RV. Protect Wawa’s windshield! God Bless Y’all!!
You guys are the best! I love living vicariously through you and your family. Ha haha Seriously, keep making videos and posting them. You are showing the world what a healthy, loving, humble family should be like. You Josh are the luckiest of all, doing what you love with the ones you love the most. I envy you my man. Kudos and I tip my hat to you.
I just love watching Ralphie getting older and taking the initiative to tackle some jobs older guys would shy away from.😊
Thank you
Ralphie's always rarin' to go. I admire his developing work ethic.
He’s going to be one excellent mechanic
This is the best channel watching this whole family work together. It doesn’t get any better.
Thank you 😊
I definitely agree 👍 💯
Watching Ralphie work is so neat. I love the simple explanations he gives...very clear voice.
You have two flashers. One is turn signals and the other is emergency flashers. You have to change both of them. Love the channel.
yep. been there, done that.
Were you yelling that to Josh as well? 🤣
@@jackpontiac9409 That makes three of us! 🤣

I hope so
Yep, luv it!
Best part of every Saturday is a sleeper dude video
Thank you
Correct
Excellent! Glad y’all got a cool vacation in the rig! I know you have a bucket load of memories, and some more thinking of improvements for it. Again, great with no break downs, and the Beatle came though✔️ Glad marge doesn’t drive her much😂❤️

Sorry Josh smashed his finger...working on cars and RVs is sometimes full of obstacles and dangers...y'all be careful and hope it recovers quickly. Wah and Ralphie are doing great work...very responsible young teens. Glory to God for Josh and Tosh on their parenting job.
Restoring a 50 year old RV...amazing stuff!
You might need a full length mud flap or brush to keep stones from being thrown back onto the Beetle..especially that new windshield
Thats cool! Im the drummer at my church . Long story on how my life changed. But thank God above for putting me were i belong.
Awesome
This is a Million Dollar used RV!!! The amount of labor put into this RV is a phenom. I do not think anything on this beast has been left untouched. Should serve you well for years to come :)

Time to drink a bunch of soda pop.
Great show and work. 👏🇺🇸
Wawa and Ralph play their instruments very well

Cracks us up
Your family is wonderful to watch and granny with her lip is to cute. God bless you all, I learn and laugh every video.
WOW 2 hours of fun and amusement. Thanks to all the SD family . 😃 2x👍
Our pleasure!
@@Sleeperdude Thanks Dude 👍👍
Haha, I’m old and rarely get acronyms..
SD. South Dakota,
NO Sleeperdude DUH!
Great work ! It's so good to see everything fixed! Please put some mud flaps on the RV, so it doesn't skip any stones into Wawa's windshield.
*Someone needs to write a Sleeperdude Theme Song for the kids to perform!*
👍
I agree, would be great fun for them, and us to enjoy. 🙂
Benny Hill allready used that... 😊
Yeah a Theme song !!!! : ) with cow bell even more cow bell and goats !! Awesome
I cant write music but i can lyrics…🎶Buckle up with some finger food, we’re under the hood with Sleeperdude🎵
Can't wait to say" OMG it's that weird family that tows a VW!" at the campsite. We have a camper too.
That’s funny
Wawa and everyone's face when you asked if they thought anyone had been locked up in there was priceless! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"The Gael" from The Last of the Mohicans is a hauntingly beautiful melody. It's one of those tunes that once you hear it, you don't forget it.
Hello Josh, the second flasher relay is for the emergency flashers . Awesome job !!!!! God Bless !!!!!!!!!!
yep 4 way flasher
Ok thanks
Came to comment this too. Had same issue and needed to change emergency flasher too. Worked great afterwards on my vehicle.
you are so w
You are so welcome !!!@@Sleeperdude
You are so welcome !!!!!!!@@Sleeperdude
Your kids are so talented. It's amazing how each one has their own individual gifts.
Thank you 😊
@@Sleeperdude you're welcome!!
The poop tube goes in the back bumper and the bumper usually has plastic vent caps on it to keep the tube from falling out
Yeah or bumper is to small
I learned everything by holding the light. This generation has to hold the camera and the light. Lovin the group effort. Cheers!
Had a 1966 VW Bug & had 5 girls in back seat & 2 girls & me up front on Christmas Eve 1966 & all went well.👍👍👍

Yeah he probably would

I bought an impact screwdriver because of you, already used it to break free some rusted bolts on my truck, fantastic tool.
Good idea thank you
The engine torques to the right under acceleration, that's why it rubs only on that side...keep up the nice builds 👌
Cool, thanks
If it rolls that much you need to check motor mounts.
My work requires a lot of travel , so I live in my r.v. most of the year...
I worked in the same city for a year , then hooked on to move about 6 hours away..
I got about 20 miles down the road & my transmission went out ..
Called a buddy who hooked on to my r.v. and a bout 20 miles further down the road a tire blew out . (On the rv).
Put the spare on , 10 miles down the road the spare blew out & before we could get it off the road a third tire blew out...
Murphy's law was workin o/t .
Went to a Tractor supply & bough 5 new rims & tires , got back to the r.v. and the electric jack on the tongue would not work.
Went back to tractor supple & bought two floor jacks & finally got all new tires on the r.v.
And on my buddys hitch.
It was 2 a.m. when we got to the r.v. park & I had to be at work at 7 a.m. via an Uber..
I change all my r.v. tires every 2 yrs , needed or not .
I read that the sun breaks them down , but the hardest thing on them is sitting for long periods..
They get a flat spot , then overheat when you drive & that causes em to blow out ...
Either way , Im not ever going thru another trip like that if I can help it..
Ole Murphy will sucker punch you in the nads sometimes , so my advice is to prepare for the worst & pray for the best..
That’s wild 🤣
Always a good day when sleeper dude and family are on the channel God bless you all
Thank you
26 minutes posted video and LOTS of views. I'm happy for y'all
@@Sleeperdude ur welcome
That's some nice rear end cleaning! I suspect the previous owner took that rear end swimming a time or to! Maybe you should have left your glove attached to the hitch. Nice work by all!
Another excellent family video. None better on the internet anywhere! Thank you guys!
Wow, thank you!
I lost my son last Thursday in an auto accident. Please hug your children and tell them you love them every single day!
So very sorry to hear that. Yea definitely 💯
God be with you
Sorry to hear such😢May he rest well🙏🏼
Thank you all! God is with us and we will make it with his love. Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted."
There are two flasher relays on older vehicles, one for the turn signals and the other is for the emergency lights. As far as the left rear turn signal take hook it direct to a battery to see if the light itself is good. You may want to check the weather stripping on you walk in door on the RV. When you were on your drive, you can see a lot of day lite at the top of the door, and with all the work you guys have put into it I would hate to see it leak and cause damage. So nice to see your videos when they come out, but I do have to tell you that after I found your channel I went back a watched all your old videos and then I had to go from one video every day to one every week I had withdrawals, but I made it through without any professional help but it was a hard time in my life. God bless you and your family the way you and your family have blessed us.
If it’s only one thing, I will learn from your video today is that Marge would make an excellent Roto rooter person…
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I’ll let her know
fantastic progress! loved every bit of it. Glass guy was a class act too. well done to you all. And thanks for brightening our weekend. kisses
Your family is so awesome! We, my family love watching you guys work on old cars together. It's kinda weird the similarities with your interests and mine as well as I have two girls and a boy.Keep up the content! P.S. Now my wife wants a bug. ALL THE BEST!
That is awesome!
You guys are almost the Partridge Family. Make the most of it because time moves fast. God bless 😊
Yes! Thank you!
It came to me in a vision says the prophet Joshua.It might be prudent to buy a master brake cylinder and store it in the camper befor you start your expedition,Josh.This was prime family time and thanks for including us.
Good Morning Family , I am so glad to see you again today and I hope you are having a fantastic weekend ! 😊
Good morning! 😃
It's easy. Just ask anybody who has watched. Too cool. Words to live by.
Steele Rubber makes good windshield gaskets, FYI. Drill into the wiper pivots & screw in zerk fittings. Fill it with boat trailer bearing grease. Lastly, replace the wiper drive arm bushings- when they go, it's at the worst time.
👍
Huge kutos to Marge for the excellent video work, she seems to get all the cute stuff. I'm sure you have checked but I had an issue with the trailer ball being the wrong size and the problem didn't arise until putting a car on the trailer and the trailer tried to eat my $1500 tail gate. Didn't know it was $1500 until after. Love to all ya all.!!!
Thank you 😊
2 flashers on almost all cars / trucks by design in the 70's. , one was separate for 4 way emergency with separate power source / fuse. the other is blinkers with common use fuse shared sometimes with dome light or other items.
When you told Marge you wished you hadn't shown her the seal kit she she was admiring the tiny seals, at least she didn't say, "Oooo! Hairbands!"😂😂 It's hard to know what caused all that rust in the diff. Reminds me of a story. I have a '72 F250 that my dad's cousin bought new. He used to tow a boat with it and take it to the Puget Sound often. After just a couple of years doing that, he started having brake issues. When he took it to the dealer to be checked, the brake hardware had rusted solid from dipping the rear axle into the salt water at the boat launch. The Ford dealer had to actually replace the entire backing plate assemblies because the hardware was so fused to the plates they couldn't even free it up. Loving the videos. I think you've become among the top 3 channels I watch when I have the time.
Love you guys, your attitude, work, humour!😂 Cheers from Finland!😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Love the Searchers... my favorite movie of all time!
Awesome thanks
Great video it so nice to see all your kids excelling at whatever they decide to do ..its obvious that you've both taught them anything is possible if you put your mind to it.....hope you have a great camping trip and you will be taking everyone who see the old Dodge pulling a Beetle back to the 70's !! Cool combo for sure ...looking forward to next week...Karl from eastern Canada
Thank you so much
Josh, Tosh, Wawa, Ralphie and Squeezie, you all are amazing! I feel revived after watching your channel. such great content, production and family vibe. you give me hope in this crazy world we live in. Your knowledge is amazing. I’m sure you know it but you guys are already rich beyond
words. With your family. I watch a lot of You tube. Almost no more “normal TV”. Your channel is by far the Best thing out there! Be proud! Your are blessed and in the prayers of many people. Thank you for your hard work and determination. Also love the scenes with the kids being musical. God bless you all!
Awesome can’t wait to see this video. The RV on the road!!! Be back in 2 hours.

@@Sleeperdude I found your channel with the first mini Winnie will it run and have fell in love with your amazing family. Thanks for another epic video. I love Ralfe’s welded flower he never ceases to amaze with his talents. Have a wonderful camping trip and can’t wait for the next video. PS please put Granny on a shirt. 😂❤️
Love the vids, I think Marge's words seem to be getting funnier as time goes on. quick tip when working with old plastics, heat it up if your going to cut it, or use a Dremel, or drill set to med speed with a cutting wheel on it.
I've been watching you guys for just over a year now. I really enjoy your content and how the entire family works together. You guys are a breath of fresh air in a world of of negativity. Keep up the amazing content. Also. Can you please tell me how I can acquire one of squeezies pcs of art work..
Awesome! Thank you! Squeezy art for sale now at thesleeperdude.com
Be Safe & Good Luck . You'all will be in my Prayers
Thank you

Will do thank you
The family that camps together stays together as the saying goes. I am so happy for you guys that you can finally take the RV out on a little camping trip. Looking forward to seeing you having a good time on the kid's school vacation.
Yes for sure 👍
The best channel in the world please be safe and god bless.
Thank you
Loved watching this build. Put some good mudflaps on those tires or a bumper brush so that you don't shatter that bug Windshield.
Good idea thanks
You're right by adding grease to the bearings, you need to consider the initial first drive break in. It takes a while for the lube to reach the axle bearings, you don't want to run the bearings dry.
You do not want to put grease on the bearings it will prevent good oil flow which prevents cooling . T hose bearings are oil bathed that’s why oil come s out when you remove axle. I work on tractor trailers for a living change out wheel seals constantly.
@@eddiepearl536 yeah and it doesn’t hurt to make sure that you got oil to the new bearings. We always jack our trucks up on one side and let it go to each bearing and recheck and fill again.
You are correct we always rotate the drive axles. But not the trailer or steer tires as they have hub caps with sight glasses and fill hole. Also overfilling can and will cause axle seals to blow out as you know. Causes a lot of fires with heated brake drums. Haven’t had that issue with the new bendix disc brake applications 😊
Absolutely My Favorite Channel on Not only UA-cam but Regular TV Too!!! lol You Guys are the BEST! A Reverse Camera in the RV would be a Ton better for backing up.
Thank you 😊
@@SleeperdudeThank you Guys!!!

Thank you 😊
Your family is so talented. GOD bless
You guys are the best! I love living vicariously through you and your family. Ha haha
Seriously, keep making videos and posting them. You are showing the world what a healthy, loving, humble family should be like. You Josh are the luckiest of all, doing what you love with the ones you love the most. I envy you my man. Kudos and I tip my hat to you.
