    Hey Cody, use Belly Soap, made by the same people who make WashWax All. It takes the black streaks right off. Also, gey about 8" to 10" of 1.25" clear vinyl hose and put on your downspouts to keep the rain water off the side of the RV, works great. Just remember to take them off before you travel. Great videos!!

    Cody, I use to claybar my old 2004 Freightliner Coronado front to back top to bottom and then 2 coats of Maguires... That truck still looks good to this day! Sold it 5 years ago.. Owner still takes care of it! so much easier to keep a waxed surface clean instead of trying to catch up...Tolls???? 275$!!!!

    Something to try on the slideouts to prevent black marks from the seals:
    Clean the slideout walls and seals
    Put talcum powder on a rag and wipe down the seals
    Spray silicon on the walls and wipe down
    The walls will be slick and the seals dry and not sticky.

    Just $271 and some change - you did great then. Just moved a few years back out of Northern Virginia, which is considered the Metro Washington D.C. area and we know all to well the cost of tolls. Tolls in the Metro area fluctuate depending on time of day. You know the story, rush hour times the prices will go up and off peak times the prices will go down. So $271 is doing great. Been up and down the mid-Atlantic with an EZ Pass for years in every state that accepts the pass. Paid as much as $39 for a 26 mile trip = ONE WAY. So pat yourself on the back for actually keeping your toll cost down. - +1 and a THUMBS UP

I had a ton of black streaks on my Transcend 240ML and it looked brand new when I traded it in. Do it in 1ft or 2ft squares, that way it doesnt dry out on the RV.

    If you are going to travel through toll road states and you know you will travel in one state most you can get the device from that state, most states give some discount. So if you travel through the midwest Illinois would be a good one to get the device from. I am a firm believer that the states around Illinois that are not toll should set up a toll for Illinois licensed vehicles.

    Basically, two more axles doubles your exhorbitant tolls in the northeast. Ouch. And propane on board limits your access to bridges and tunnels, nationally, which can make for four hour detours or lay by's.
    Makes the tight quarters on an all electric ClassB a whole lot more attractive in the northeast.

    We never push it on our fuel anymore. On a road trip in our Mini Cooper we passed an opportunity for fuel in New Mexico because our tank had 120 miles of fuel to cover 80 miles until the next available fuel. About 30 miles in we realized with hills and strong wind we were in trouble. We slowed down and Jim counted down miles left in the tank and I counted down the miles on gps. In the last ten miles the numbers calculated negative climbing a hill and gave us a positive on the downside. The sun was setting and we had no phone service. When we pulled into the gas station we had less than five miles left in the tank 😬 I feel sick again just telling the story. Oh and Jim loves those clay bars😊

    • @RVUntethered
      @RVUntethered  Місяць тому

      You’re correct on the process. I use spray wax to wet the surface, water would probably work fine. Get the excess with one rag, wipe clean with another. Works great!
      As far as the roof, I don’t think the clay bar would work well. It’s great on smooth surfaces but the TPO has some texture to it. I haven’t tried it and you definitely won’t hurt anything taking a shot at it but I don’t think it would work well on the roof. We can’t keep our roof clean. I use a sponge mop and any sort or car wash soap to clean it a couple times a year. It never gets factory clean for me, but it’s good enough and helps minimize black streaks down the sidr

    Hey guys 👋 😃,
    Rig looks beautiful. YAY! Liked the hammer & rocks drum set. Your probably good @ it. Oh there's a cleaner called "Release" a guy I've been following uses & swears by. You don't even need water. It's crazy. His handle is Endlessrv. Crap! I think that's it. Anyway seems "it" maybe less work. Just passing it on. Like your videos. Thanks. ✌️😁.

      We have had someone else talk about that! We hadn’t heard about it before then, though. Thanks!!

      Thank you! For sure!
      We are trying to plan some meetups next year, so we quit trying to catch people on the run. 😊
