CAMI automotive was a joint venture between Suzuki and GM. I started there in 89 and was there 31 years. Drove test those trucks and always liked them. They definitely built to last with their solid frame like a TRUCK when many other vehicles had gone to A frame or unibody design. We went on to build the Equinox and a few other vehicles. Currently building GM EV Van.. Great information in your videos Eric!

Get a sifting litter box and switch to pine pellets (horse bedding) $5 for 40lb bag at Tractor supply or any ag supply. Little to no dust and far less smell. Watch some cat lady videos they all use it instead of the dusty clay. I switched 4 years ago and it's been great.

Eric, haters are going to hate. A Geo Tracker is a do everything vehicle. Call it a truck when it is doing truck stuff, call it a car when it's doing car stuff and call it a SUV when it's doing SUV stuff. At the end of the day it really doesn't matter, it's a cool little vehicle that works for you. Heck if I didn't need a pickup to haul my motorcycle behind my motorhome that would be a cool little vehicle, but alas I don't want to trailer my bike and a little car the trailer is too much trouble. Keep the good stuff coming.

It always amazes me how many people have no life of their own but still want to tell others how to live theirs. These same people are the ones who don't say a thing in person. Anonymity breeds bravery. Cat people are great. We are easy to get along with because we know that we are not in charge. We do our own thing just like our babies. If we don't like someone, we just don't have anything to do with them. Babe looks bare. Insulating makes so much sense. Especially for mechanics. We insulated our garage because of that.

:-) 8:15 That explains why a 2000 Blazer back then was called "truck", even though for Texas standards it was pretty much a tiny car with a small engine (only 6 cylinders). Me being from another county (English not first language) did call this Blazer "Truck", too. However, just from my language understanding calling it a "Truck" was feeling wrong, but then that's what people called it, so I "integrated" and did the same. One day I was with a friend who drove a 3500 Pick-Up Dually, and we were talking about going somewhere, and I stated that I would take the truck (having the Blazer in mind). He only knowing the Blazer asked me "Which Truck", and I told him "The Blazer". He almost had a good laugh, but swallowed it because I guess he didn't want me to feel bad. Still gives me a smile, because to me these things are no trucks either. But you have to wonder if people start a shitshow about such minor things, must have a pretty boring life 🙂. As final words I can just say: Enjoy your (tiny) TRUCK, and let the haters to what they have to do... I can say "Thank you" to the haters, because You brought back good memories!

Also per wikipedia, A truck or lorry is a motor vehicle designed to transport freight, carry specialized payloads, or perform other utilitarian work.

Eric you just might have solved the problem ! Between some of your friend's advice and help along with your own independence gut out the failing parts in the kitty litter machine and transform it into a manual hand cranked unit since you did mention a reasonable and reliable process, just saying , Crank on Ha !

We have two litter robots, and when anything happens, we just call Whisker, and their customer service is excellent. They will walk you through diagnostics and send any replacement parts needed.

Eric, do you think the movement of the RV Is harder on the LItterRobot than it just being stationary in a house? I been thinking of getting one for home...

I would think the constant vibration of the moving tornado going down a road would mess up sensitive components. It jars every other screw and glued part in a RV, reasoning for the constant repairs ..

I agree about the haters comments. They not only hurt you, but also us that are fans of your show.

That’s a shame about the Litter Robot. Thankfully I have had awesome luck with mine but mine is not in an RV being jostled when driving. I assume that may be part of the problem. Hang in there Eric. Things will get better. Hugs to the kitties.

you know, it might be a difficult project, but you could take apart that robot litter box, and just add your own hand crank to the exisiting parts on the back if you could get to the motor., take off all the computer parts and make exactley what you described. or if you were really tech savvy, you could bypass all the sensors, and just put a toggle switch on the circiut that controls the cycle on/ off, my brother has done that with car aux fans, so both could run when he wanted to not when the sensor said to. If your really wanted to keep it. At least look at it and see if that would be possible, since you seemed to really enjoy it when it was working. just a thought. you probley got way to many other projects to try to mod the robot liter box.

Good idea and it reuses it.

IF it were me, and I had gone thru 3 at $700 ea I would be very motivated to either get creative and make it manual or find a person with such a skill. It's a great idea. Having a kitty litter box on the floorboard will mean tracking litter thru out the RV, I would introduce the kitties to a top opening storage container as a litter box that will contain the litter in one spot in the mean time. .
