The RV Dummy and Travel Channel
США
Добавлен 29 апр 2014
Welcome. My name is David Madow and I am sometimes known as The RV Dummy or Dr. Dave. A few years back my wife and I sold everything, bought a 20' Pleasure Way RV van without knowing much about how to drive, maintain or anything else about it. We simply felt the universe telling us this was the right thing to do. What follows hopes to be an amazing story about how this changed not only our lives, but the lives of so many others! Please join us on this journey! We will share not only RV travel and tips, but different types of travel, whether it's by car, staying in hotels, AirBnB, air travel and so much more. We are based out of Salt Lake City, but we try our best to get all around, including Japan (where Yoko is from). Please enjoy! Dave

How to Fix Most Rattling Noises in Your RV
Is there a list?
I live out in the country in southern AZ … drinking daily now in a 2004 22ft Forrest River class B …. Love it
We have 2022 travel trailer and in June 2023 (less than 3K miles on original tires) we were on a trip to Yellowstone. 2nd day from home tire #1 just completely blows out no loss of air warning from TPMS until after the tire became a road gator. On day 3 afternoon another factory tire completely losses all its tread, just the bald core section remained full of air. Thank goodness for that because we had no spare at that time. Drove slowly to next exit and found a small tire store and bought 5 new tires, valve stems and one wheel (5th tire was a second spare, we had a lot of traveling to do). Little over a year later (last week) heading home from trip TPMS warming losing air fast left front tire. Check and the rubber valve stem was split right at the metal rim. Changed the tire and proceeded to our overnight stay. Next day we start out again and 20 minutes in the drive get fast air leak in left rear tire. Check and the exact same split at the metal rim. There was a Sam's 7 miles away so we went there and replaced 4 rubber valve stems to hopefully make it the rest of the way home. I had come up with the same conclusion that the TPMS sensors were tearing the rubber valve stems with their weight and centrifugal force. I was on you tube to see if any others had experience this and low and behold Dr Dave had same experience (I love you tube LOL) I have ordered new metal valve stems and will be installing soon. TST should inform purchasers of their external sensors that they require metal valve stems. As Dr Dave states for less than $50 they were installed. I would gladly pay $50 one time to never break down on the side of any road with a flat tire. Thank you Dr. Dave
I have the same model. I've done some great upgrades, as well. After all of them, i replaced tires with Michelin Agilus Cross Climate tires. I noticed an improvement with them, too.
Hi RV Dummy, Thanks so much for sharing your video. Our fridge has just done the very same, it will not run on gas. I have tried like you to work it out without success. i am going to check that battery out, ( we call it the Leisure battery here in the UK ) . Maybe it will all be ok but i would like to thank you as you are the only one who has come up with that idea. All the very best Duncan, Cornwall UK.
Don't buy new. I'm usually someone who prefers buying new-whether it's cars or motorcycles-because of the clear advantages. But when it comes to RVs, buying new from dealers is full of drawbacks, and buying used from dealers is even worse. Instead, buy used from a private party and negotiate directly with the owner.
It’s Year August 13, 2024
Hey Dave. I am in Utah. Monticello. 🤠
Is that $32,000 American money?
I think the real fix for this problem is to relocate the fuel pump and filter to a cooler location or wrap the fuel lines to prevent vapor lock.
A couple thoughts a daily driver, consider the risk of accidents on a daily basis, rather than a percentage of the time for leisure trips. Also, storage location has to be considered, since even the tiny 36B Solis Pocket is 9.5 ft tall...and maybe won't fit in a covered parking spot in an apt complex.
Good to see You again Dave !
Always good to see you sir.
Would you mind measuring the distance from the hitch to the bin? I’m wondering if I can have my truck tailgate down without swinging the base out? Thanks!
Too much talking. Get to the meat of the video.
The level is incorrectly marked... If you screw the dipstick in.
7 minutes in and.... Just state the lead in, in a few sentences please.
I'm currently looking at getting the TST 770 TPMS. With as many others that have experienced the same issue with TPMS sensors on rubber valve stems, you would think the company would be aware of it. However, I do see that they do state the flow through sensors must have metal valve stems. This makes sense as they are larger and heavier sensors, which leads to believe they would cause rubber valve stem damage. Sounds to me your best to just going with metal valve stems regardless which sensors you're using. I am soon exchanging my 5th wheel tires. This was good information as I will request they put in metal valve stems.
In the past year I've had 3 valve stem failures using external TPMS. My initial thought was, wow, I'm glad I have this TPMS to warn me of the leaks, preventing a complete blowout and ruining a tire. But I've since learned, as you have, the TPMS on rubber valve stems was causing the leaks. I'm currently shopping for the clamp in metal valve stems to have installed on my RV. It's probably more common that we realize.
Was wondering if you are using a mattress topper or something on top of the cushions..
#1 - “I’ll buy it.” DON’T purchase these rolling junk wagons. Or, ignore this advice. You’ll find out. 😢
So, fuel pump. That’s 9:18 of my life I’ll never get back 🖕
One caution with metal stems - if you over tighten the TPMS you can damage the valve. When I took my TPMS off the valve was leaking air. A gasketed cap or putting the TPMS back on will hold the air until you can insert a new valve inside the stem. I never had this over tightening problem with my stock rubber stems.
Great video, thank you for sharing.
Ok ...
I really appreciate your video! I, too, had tried the "siphon some oil out" trick and realized last week that it didn't work for me either. Being in Texas, we're dying in the heat just when the Onan won't keep running. Certainly is a big undertaking to replace the fuel pump, but I'm glad to hear that this may be the fix.
TOTALLY plagarised another person's content, which was published a year before. Almost word for word!!!! ruclips.net/video/H0kpj_1hVH4/видео.htmlsi=t4cJ9zqQHfJ1XR_s
Awesome looking place. Do you remember what town this was😊
Thanks for the tip on where to look first when troubleshooting.
This video could have been done in 5 minutes or less. You run on and on and on and on and on. Use a script and a teleprompter. Use editing. Get your message across quickly and concisely.
Hey Dr. Dave, so glad that you're liking your new SumoSprings! Love seeing your RV and the difference you can make by improving the suspension!
In my opinion, one of the best comparison tests is being passed by a semi truck or passing a semi truck. At 10:40, your passing the semi truck test was an excellent example.
Hey, Dr Dave, good to see you in your RV. I purchased a 2010, ford transit connect last month for cash $5k, the owner kept up the maintenances well and it has 130k miles. I have not seen it yet, because it’s in Phoenix with my son. I’m hoping to see it this month or next month. I been keeping my nephew since I moved to Louisiana. Babysitting is not for me and this job is ending in 20 days and counting. I have been traveling a little not like I have planned, it’s coming soon. I can’t wait to start fixing my van and getting it ready for traveling. 🧳
Dave, nicely done. It's worth it if you think it is and I've made similar improvements to my rig and never looked back, so, anything that builds your confidence in driving the vehicle is excellent. ----Mark
Does this year model have the Firestone air ride in it?
Give it a real test and come try it on these Oklahoma highways. 🤠
This was great info, thanks
Just horrible. No video at all. Only talking. With that said some good comments saying Koni is not worth it=. Found that interesting
Always be willing to walk away from any deal...
Camping World only has 2.5 stars on review sites. Why would anyone buy anything from them?
Watch out for dealers who say they are going to fix things before you pick it up, but won’t put it in writing. Just went through this with Sewell motorcoach in KY. They had a lovely rug I wanted, but owner Doug refused to put any of his promises in writing. Insisted that this was the only way he did business. Treated us like we were jerks because we didn’t “trust” him. Watch out! This is Frightening.
Why the funeral music?

I’ve had two valve stem failures on tires less than three years old with my TPMS. Both had tears at the base and I’ve been careful not to twist the stem when taking the sensors off to add air. I’m ready to try metal valve stems. Thanks for putting your thoughts into a video.
Do price research from out of state dealers. We found same new camper for less even with shipping. Go to local dealers with that price. Local dealer won’t match price so having it delivered. Only risk is haven’t seen in person whether there is damage. Ask deliverer to take pictures before leaving. So you know who to blame.
We had a terrible experience at General rv in Tampa thank goodness my husband knows numbers. But this jerk told us I don't have time to show you rvs go to a show. Tim my husband said if you don't have time take us back to our truck. Well we knew what we wanted he thought he could tell us what we wanted.
Thank you :)

Hi Dr. Dummy.
Wow, Dr. Dave outsmarts RV Salesmen, shocker.
