Amazing Video. Thank you 🙏
I Believe You Have Thought Of Everything Regarding Maintenance ! Thank You For Sharing.
Thank You For Sharing This Install !
Thank You For Sharing Your Knowledge !! Always Excellent Tips !
Absolutely Brilliant Idea ! Thank You For Sharing.
Another Excellent Presentation !
Brilliant Idea ! Thank You For Sharing This Tip. Excellent Presentation, As Always !
Gray video! I learned a lot about refrigeration and (high level) how it works. Thank you for this! My Dometic in my 2016 Casita is the same model as yours, with the same panel. I have owned the Casita for a couple of years and have never gotten the refrigerator to work when I wanted it to work; the key phrase, when I wanted it to work. I can’t seem to get the label to power up. However, one time when I was doing some minor work inside the Casita the panel and refrigerator were on! Running on propane! I was shocked. Rather than run out the propane, I pushed the Auto button and everything turned off. No panel power, no anything. We went through the same checks that you did, and still norhing. I find it interesting the panel On/Off is a detent, but the others are not; I can’t tell if they are functioning or not. For example, I would think the the Auto/On button would be detent type button, too. Anyway, we don’t seem to have any power to the panel. At least once we did, but not when we need or want it. I’m starting to think this may be a panel issue. Or, perhaps there is a short or problem in the power line to the fridge. I believe I once read on a Casita site where someone had a similar issue and changed out the panel and that was the solution. Any tips or suggestions? We are pretty handy, typically, in fixing things, and this has been vexing. Thanks for your help and input!
Thank you so much for making this video. Just ordered my valve - leaking exactly where yours was.
Wow Alan I just found your blog. thank you soooo much. Love the fix-it's. Pete
Great idea - I hate putting those sewer hoses inside the bumper because its such a tight fit and at times I have to force it in..Thinking of putting it on top of the bumper..Thank you sir for the idea.
Just watched again! Does your tow vehicle have a heavy duty alternator or a dc to dc converter? If you don't have anything special to run frig on "normal" tow alternator, I am going to, too, use the fridge on dc while traveling! Thanks. P.S. I think I will watch for third time and what else I can learn! 🤭
Drove this last week. Nice drive.
Excellent instructional video. Thank you. 👍❤️💪🙏🥂
What type of grease??
Dexter Multi-Purpose Lithium Grease or any type 2 grease rated for high temperature is what I use.
Trail Ridge Road, Rocky Mountain National Park
I didn’t know that you can cool frig while travelling and not run down the AGM battery! We notice from time to time while on AC the lights on the front of fridge start turning on and off! Seems like frig is cooling during these times. Any thoughts what is going on?
I never experienced this. Not sure what would cause this.
Did you have your weight distribution hitched up?
yes.
thanks! Might make sense to have a dewinterization video to tag onto this one.
Great useful video! Love your content as a Casita owner. Love the thorough detailed explanations and video of your trouble shooting videos. Thanks so much for putting these out. I know you have upgraded from your Casita but I still often refer to your videos. By the way I just retired earlier this year and look forward to more travel with our Casita. Thanks again!
Thank you for your comment. Happy travels!
I should have looked at this video first. I had an RV shop do it, I am not going to put what i foolishly paid. They did inspect the brakes though. I do all the work on the trailer but was unsure of the bearings. Why are RV bearings in need of re-greasing unlike cars?
Car manufacturers feel that the modern grease is good enough to last the entire life of the car and without grease fittings, no contaminates can get into the bearings and joints. Not sure why RV makers don't feel the same way!
Dexter Axle recommends jacking up a trailer on the trailer frame, not on the axle or suspension system. To avoid damaging the trailer, do not place the jack on the axle. Instead, place the jack under the frame of the trailer or at a specified jack point on the side that has the flat tire. For added stability, add a flat piece of wood under the jack.
How do you know if you've over packed it?
The grease flows through the bearings and out around the hub as you pump in new grease, so there is not overfilling.
I lost track of your channel when my kids deleted some of my subscriptions. I see you sold your Casita . Geo -Pro now ? How is it ? I still have my 2020 casita ! I’m going to keep it ! I’m old and only camper I’ve ever owned. You did some great travel videos!! 👍😁
The GeoPro trailer is great, but I do miss the Casita at times. Thank you for your comments.
I like to do it on a nice warm day with warm grease to keep from blowing out the seal in the back. Spin the heck out of the tire really helps too!!
Great tip!
Awesome video. I'm getting ready to do mine again. I will say though, I just purchased one of the ramps you drive the one wheel up and the other comes off the ground. Best $50 I ever spent. No jack involved and there's enough room to do this task, plus remove the tire in the event of a flat. On some trailers, you may have to put a 2 x 6 under the ramp to give it that extra inch and a half to get the tire off the ground. I only had about 3/8" of clearance between the tire and ground. It was enough, but next time I'll put a 2 x 6 under it to give me a little more room. Definitely look into one of those ramps. Worth every cent!!
Great idea for those with 2 axles. Thank you.
@RVAdventuresTV Well, I may have to swallow my words. I live on a hill with a gravel driveway. The ramp works great for front tires on a dual axle trailer. However, when I try to back up on the ramp with rear tire, it pushes the ramp and won't allow the tire to go up. Perhaps it's because it's a gravel driveway. Not real happy now with the ramp. Had I known this, I wouldn't have bought it. I ended up using three 2 x 6's to get tire off the ground.
Thank you for a great video! Can you share the grease gun you are using?
The exact one I use is not sold any longer, but here is a close replacement: amzn.to/3VkhgCR
I just bought a 1996 Casita with no battery in it. My converter is working when plugged into shore power okay . As the factory sticker says in the battery compartment BLACK is Positive WHITE is Negative My question is do I hook up the GREEN wire to the negative battery terminal as you did in the video? I’m curious as to what that GREEN wires purpose is, in my mind I associate GREEN with 120/240 volts A/C power as a GROUND WIRE…NEVER a DC 12 volt power ground wire. Thank you for an EXCELLENT clear and concise video. 👍 New subscriber here.
I believe the green wire is for the AC side ground as you said. It doesn't serve a purpose on the DC side as far as I know. I am just a do-it-yourself person, so if in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Thank you for your comment.
@@RVAdventuresTV Later I found out it’s a frame ground right under the battery compartment. Thanks for the reply. 👍
Great video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
great video! Given the cantilever of the trailer hitch aft of rear axel, it seems like the hitch weight is a fair bit LESS than 380 pounds. To me, Hitch Weight is the same as Tongue Weight, which I calculate as: (2720+3120) - (2780+2740) = 320 pounds. This is somewhat light of the 10% tongue weight that I consider to be a bare minimum. I tend to target closer to 15%, constrained of course by the hitch tongue rating. It may be worth piling some supplies further forward in your trailer to improve towing a bit.
Thank you for your comments. I appreciate it.
I was told to jack up the trailer on a frame I-beam not the axel. Of all maintenance chores on my GeoPro, I like this one the least.
The jack point I selected is on the axle tube where it is directly welded to the trailer I-beam which transfers the weight to the I-beam via the welded bracked. It works for me OK. Thanks for the insight, many may choose another jack point. I did consult the owners manual and info on Forest River's website but I didn't find any instructions for jacking the trailer.
As a new Casita owner I find your videos very informative and easy to understand, especially winterizing. You're awesome
Wow, thanks!
Replacing that failed capacitor is a super easy repair. Just desolder the old leads and solder a new part into place.
Great seeing how you do it! We had it done but in the future we'll be doing it ourselves!
Very good video. Now will the outside switch still work? If you come back to the trailer in the dark. Thank you.
As long as the one on the inside is set to on, the one on the outside will work.
Great video. Straightforward and to the point
Glad you liked it
Any route with cows grazing is fun for me
Outstanding and breathtaking! Awesome vid as always😃👍. Thanks for taking us along.😃💜
Thanks for watching
Great video! What time of the year was this video taken?
1st week of July.
Hey Allen. Just curious. Why did you trade you Casita for what you have now?
We just wanted a little more space.
Great video. I will be doing this prior to our camping this spring.
Thank you for this tour. We are awaiting the opening reservation date to reserve our spot for July of this year. Hoping to get a full hookup site. We have a 39' fifth wheel. Do you have any site suggestions for a rig this big? Thanks!
All will be good except for the shared sites, they would be a little too short.
I've never showered in my Freedom Deluxe, not sure I ever will....
How did u book it
On the Canada reservation system: parks.canada.ca/voyage-travel/reserve
Great video. Interested in how your spare tire is mounted. On our Casita ours sits on the bumper so would not be able to mount a 5 inch post with the bottom flush with the bumper. Thanks.
It sits on the bumper. The 5" does sit above the bumper a little so I have a 2 x 4 sitting on top of the bumper for the tire to rest on.
Thank you for this very informative video. I was wondering how to do this and it's not as hard as I thought.
I have a 2024 Independence deluxe and the bypass position is different now that you are looking down at the bypass from above. It's not a big deal, you can tell when it has water flowing into the water heater and when it does not just know that it will be a different position if that is your situation from this video.
Thanks for that info.
What about the roof?
I just wash it with soapy water.
I have absolutely worn this video out, I finally subscribed to premium so I could download it. I'm guessing retired as an engineer of some sort.
