Hell yeah, this is the kind of thing I like to see. Dudes helping other dudes. Good stuff, @Jack W.!

That's why car and boat guys/gals are the best. Always there to help each other out.

I was going to say the same thing

i was just going to type that lol its also why the tank is plastic because rvs in winter that are just parked freeze inside too lol

If the units have not been properly Winterized it will still freeze . Especially if the unit was sitting for period of time

Exactly!

@@newluck365 my brother, a certified welder and hobby blacksmith, by no means a dummy; is not a mechanic. By any stretch of the imagination. He changed a heater hose on his truck, a 91 F-250 with a mechanical 7.3 in it, thought he got him the deal of the decade on antifreeze. He filled his truck with RV antifreeze. It got hot, boiled like hell, and when it cooled it turned to a pinkish orange goo that took a week to get all flushed out. Not a good decision...

I know! Isn't it so sad! Just brings tears to my eyes. Get rid of that motorhome style plug and go to seven way ICC wiring. And get a power probe and learn how to use it. I'm laughing cuz as a truck mechanic for 42 years I've been chasing shorts all my life. Good thing I was good at it. We had a saying in the shop: " electrical problems can be very hard to find!" No flat rate! Time on the ticket baby!

As a owner operator dont think they have any ida what there doing who let's water run out & make it worse that just top it for me!

I was thinking the same thing

Yeah It is not recomended to have full tanks when traveling with your RV/TODER/WHATEVER.

To add to what I said.. Get yourself a food grade hose and a filter to go onto the end of it to replenish the tank. Don't use just a normal garden hose unless you like funny tastes, bacteria, and god knows what else going into your tank that you'll ultimately consume. When stored tanks should be either totally empty or completely full to reduce algae and bacteria growing. Clear tanks exposed to light also increase both growing. That tank just didn't look fit for purpose.

yeah make an aluminum pan to go under it with a drain, water tanks will sometimes sweat too. 2 birds 1 stone.

GREAT Idea!! With the bung on the side and a short pipe to outside they'd see it leaking right away...

Great idea

@@leetalon8770 to quote another KZfaqr that’s getting two bird’s stoned at once

Should have been in a pan from the builder. Not sure who's oversight that was.

Would it be possible to wire the toter as "utility" then make a short pigtail adapter to convert to "RV" standard?

@@gordonbowe it would, but a loose piece like that is just another thing that can get lost. If you're going to be towing random trailers often, there's sense in adding additional sockets by the receiver, labeled with their wiring.

wow that sounds fun, over here in the uk all 12v (car/light commercial) are 12n 7 pin (or 13 pin euro thats easy to adapt) and 24v heavy commercial is 24n. everything that is wired differently or different voltage has a different plug/socket so they cannot be plugged in to something that isnt wired to match

If the truck ever pulled a horse trailer, it will be wired wrong.

Of course there’s 2 different configurations. Why would they be the same when they can be different. 🤔

Along with the rubber seal for the slide-out.

THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE!

I use the Home Depot Henry’s roll on roofing every other year to keep my roof from going bad.

@@Sommertest Check out Bus Grease Monkey channel he uses a coating on the roof of his bus that last several years and while I might not agree with some of stuff he does but when it comes to product research for stuff he buys out of pocket his research and decisions are pretty good

I use the Uncle Henry's White also but sometime. I'm going to use the Aluminum and tar tape to last for years and years! Then paint Uncle Henry's White over the tar tape. That Aluminum will not crack it"s same as Dyna may but not as thick and sticks the best.

Having bought and sold at least 16 trailers i will confirm this but they left with lights working great

Hahahahaha!

My parents though they bought a trailer with crap wiring as the running lights were sporadic and one turn signal didn't work and the other was to the wrong direction. Too bad everything worked correctly when I plugged the trailer to my crappy '97 Volvo, where the trailer plug probably wasn't used in 10 years. Their 8 year old mercedes had the shittiest trailer connector I've ever seen.

I got around that by buying a new one! Three weeks later - flash flood completely inundated it and ruined pretty much everything except the air in the tires.

Did you go back through the old videos to get that list? I can’t keep up with all the haulers he’s had!

He basically has no use for the OG Roadkill Ramp Truck now lol, I really hope he doesn't sell it. That's my favorite truck, with Lincoln Hawk being a close second

Square force one was elite

@@ahfreebird I did looked back through his thumbnails to get the order but that also reminded me I forgot his white duramax truck and the six door truck!

I just wrote the same thing, we had the same idea haha

That's a really smart idea

I was thinking why don't Finnegan just build an aluminum tank

2nd'd and/or 3rd'd. On our race trailer we have a 100 gallon tank directly above the front lounge, but the tank, pump, and water heater have an aluminum tray which drains outside the trailer.

Exactly my thinking.

He should build his own tank to put in there. Aluminum is cheaper than wood right now, so he can fix the floor if also needed.

Except aluminum and chlorinated water don’t play nice together!

I recommend Florida Marine Tanks, now located in NC. When I needed a replacement fresh water tank for my 1977 vintage sailboat which they had originally made, they had the original blueprints and delivered me a replacement in three weeks. With an aluminum tank be very careful what you put into it. Always use an in-line filter for salts and other minerals. Sometimes you can get away with real city water, but never with untreated or especially not softened well water. Some boaters winterize their systems with the pink, non-toxic antifreeze. Others just pump their tanks dry and blow out the lines with air. Some, on the other hand, after taking out as much water as possible just put in about five gallons of forty proof vodka and have a spring cleaning party.

Yep. We took the carpet out of the 5th wheel and put in laminate flooring. It was a mobile construction office as well as living space. It was an obvious choice.

@@mckrackin5324 if you’re on a budget and think you’ll want to change it in ten years anyway. Just go laminate🤷‍♂️

I want to see a ramp truck at Drag Week. You aren’t allowed to haul your car, but there is nothing stopping you racing your ramp truck and hauling a car for cruising the pits.

@@nicbrownable ramp truck + car = time

@@JohnZ0805 yeah that Detroit might have a bit more cajones than the Mercedes lol

@@kadenwatt2033 those mbe engines pull harder than a 60 series

An engine that size it will take probably 2 of those batteries to actually be able to start it and in winter (not problem for Georgia but if he ever goes north on a road trip) it will take 4 if not all 5 just for starting. I'm sure the generator has an alternator but it's not set up as an APU to start based on battery potential.

The generator keep the batteries maintained while the batteries are mainly used for starting and lighting and are also charged via the engine

One battery is for the generator most likely Truck itself uses 4 batteries

@@joshp.2237 They use 24 volt starters.

@@ezacher4634 No, 24 volt systems are mainly in the heavy equipment industry. While not impossible it is very improbable that his truck is 24 volt. I am an ASE certified and Michigan licensed master medium/ heavy truck technician. To my knowledge pre 2000 they started phasing out 24 volt stuff in this industry and by the time we make it to full electronic engine controls they are all 12 volt

That's thinkin

Very good idea. These two have the skills to make one from just about anything and install it back in the vehicle. Laying a plywood floor and carpet are the easiest thing in that vehicle to do lol.

You can fix the wiring and then the next time you take it out it's wired wrong again.... I think there are trailer wiring gremlins who if you don't use the trailer for 3 months change things on you.

I used to run into that problem, then I looked up the proper wiring schematic...

There are 3 different 7-wire configurations. Both "RV" and "Utility configurations use the bladed connectors, but different wiring layouts. A 7-PIN connector is both a pin style connector, and a different wire sequence from the other two. The best thing to do is have 2 bladed 7-wire connections, so you connect the trailer to the one that works, instead of having to mess with rewiring things.

Prior owner of a trailer drove a pickup with stacks in bed of his pickup didn't know the proper standard way of plug wiring so he wired it to match way he wired his truck plug.There is a STD wiring to ALL trailer plugs. Um unless your a DIY person who just wires things however ya feel.

And douche it good with some vinegar to kill the little mold that's there

Well Im a flooring installer I'd take everything out down to the plywood dry it kilz it put water proof lvp back through the whole thing .

All the trailers I have used have had the 7 blade rv plug, including our dump trailer and my toyhauler and other 5th wheels and camping trailers. The other style is a round pin, so the only way it would be a problem is if you were using the wrong diagram for what you have, or someone changed out one type for the other and didn't reorder the wires to match the plug. A metal pan is a good idea. My water tank is 100 gallons and sits under the trailer and it never froze in the SoCal mountains where it only got down to 20 degrees.........I camped all of 2020 in the mountains for a job. Other places, with colder temps is could certainly freeze. I did add heating pads to the bottom of my gray and black tanks and wrapped the drain pipes with heat tape and also ran a dripper on the cold water winterizing port so that water would circulate from the campground faucet through my trailer and then out on the ground, keeping it from freezing.

ramp truck escalation is real....

I'm convinced this is some kind of deeply encoded cry for help.

Dude for real I remember when they bought that truck for roadkill can’t believe how long it’s been now

It started with the OG Roadkill ramp truck, but things escalated quickly when the Mazdarotti was stolen. From that point Finnegan didn't want to use the OG truck for overnight trips anymore, affraid Blasphemi would get stolen.

You might say things have... *ramped up?* I'll see myself out.

Just cleaned it honey... that's all 🙄😉🤣

Mmm...there was the red one, another red one, a couple white ones, a green one...she'd have better luck trying to remember all his project cars.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step

I thought the same thing too.. :D

they 100% changed on the move ive done it in an rv lmao

When I was twelve my uncle got me to drive the RV while he took a piss, that switch over while driving was stressful af.

set the cruise, have other person hold the wheel while you get put of the way. much easier in a truck like that, vs. a passenger vehicle, unless it has driver seat and head sensors.

@@cbruggeman25 you can also drive an actual semi with trailer if it’s non commercial. Some people pull big 5th wheel campers with them. Instead of maxing out an $80k pickup they get a used tractor for $20k that is way overbuilt for what they are doing. Pretty good idea I think.

This.

@@obzelite That would make for some EPIC content.

It's for weight, in proportion to the black tank..they don't care if its inside or out

Agree, they put water tanks inside to keep the fresh water from freezing, nobody cares if the black or grey water tanks freeze as they fill from the top you just can't empty a frozen tank. But nothing would work if your fresh water tank where frozen.

@@garrym09 I have tank heaters on my black and grey tanks to prevent them from freezing if you have a 3 seasonrig they are all well insulated and heated
