Love the new propane access door! Unsolicited tip for the bathroom door: I noticed the hinges that are currently on the door are *cabinet* hinges (not door hinges). Replacing those cabinet hinges with actual door hinges & hardware should fix the issue for good. <3

[alanholck]

You really need heavier hinges on that door, esp if you are hanging damp towels. The hinges you have look like hinges for kitchen cabinets - they may hold for a bit, but not long-term.

I would recommend a water pressure regulator for when you are hooked up to RV parks. Very common to have high pressure and it is too much for a trailer or RV to handle. Cheers from Canada!

[lindseys]

Definitely invest in a water pressure regulator. It’ll save your pipes. And when you’re connected to city water you shouldn’t have to use the pump.

Having been a fan now for many years, drawn in by the international travels and escapades, I am coming to the conclusion that the Lock Down and subsequent RV renovation and beyond, has taken the Endless Adventure to a new high. I have enjoyed all episodes historically, but the new videos are even better than previously, if such a thing is possible. Maybe Clementine gives a new focus. Loving this!

Incase you were not aware,
NFPA 1192 Standard for Recreational Vehicles prohibits locks on propane compartment doors or enclosures. You will need to change out the lock on the propane access door to a regular twist lock without a key. Access to the propane shut off valve cannot have a lock on it incase of an accident, the first responders need to be able to turn it off. You also need to have the word "Propane" on the door to identify it. The chances are you won't get in trouble, but if you are stopped for a propane inspection before entering a tunnel, you can be cited for it.

Another thing you can do for your bathroom door is what is done on most yachts (after all you are driving a land yacht) is making the door have a gap of about 1 inch underneath the door which solves the problem of swelling wood from humidity that drags across the floor, as well as letting humidity out. Plus you can go to a West Marine boating supply store and get some better heavy duty hinges. Those stores are pretty much everywhere there is boating done. Just a thought.

Water pressure regulator might help with that we use one on our rv to prevent extra pressure when using using city water.

Love you guys for staying faithful to Clementine, I love every thing you’ve done with her!!❤

[jackwmoody]

You strengthened the hinge, but increased the weight of the door with a towel hangar. You could always cut the door even shorter and just put a weather strip of vinyl sweep to seal it.

[LindaD]

Yep - cabinet maker here. Those are the wrong hinges. They need door hinges. Eventually those will pull off the wall again. Great Video.

Get some spray in truck bedliner, or even some truck/car undercoating, and spray a heavy layer on the floor and up the sides of the walls in the compartment where the water leak is. It will create a built in water catch tray, like a shower floor tray liner or catch tray under a water heater so any leaks don't soak into or through the wood floor and rot it out, and you can easily just wipe up any water that leaks and gets held in the bottom of the compartment. (Some will just evaporate also, especially if you add a small fan in there to move the air around and have a small vent to allow airflow and prevent mildew)

Anywhere a leak is likely should have a drain hole to stop flooding, and it would help to seal the wood with fiberglass resin. If it was me, I would build a small wood dam in the floor around the pump, drill a hole in the middle add a drain pipe an screen, then seal all the wood. Its something commonly done under washers in homes. Some things are eventually going to leak, so plan for it. In the case of an RV, that pump is that thing. and your also going to notice water on the ground long before you happen to randomly check that pump.

[davidpatrick]

Sometimes the pink winterizing fluid really bad. Also put a tray under the tank. Sure flow makes repair kits.

[tedwalker]

If you winterize your RV by poring the RV antifreeze into the tank it will cause the system to smell like rotten eggs especially if you put it into the water heater. If the pump head froze it will leak at the head and the best repair is to replace the pump. If you do that buy a silent pump then you won't have to listen to the buzzing every time the pump runs. Tip from RV repair man.

[gingergreenhill]

Hey, if you have a house, it's constantly the same thing! Your home happens to be on wheels. Don't get discouraged! You can do it!

[xtrippers]

put a catch pan under the water pump. Also, waterproof the exposed ply/wood and seam seal any gaps where water can sip under - use automotive seam sealer since it’s durable and flexible

[Nickelberrynsc]

When you go back and fix the pump leak, put some plastic down so you don’t have just wood waiting to soak up water. Where there’s a pump there will be leaks.

[davidpatrick]

Get the water hose in-line pressure regulator. Many RV places have way too high pressure.

Hence the joys of owning/care taking of a older motor home.
