Love it that you named your van "Matt Foley!" I'm a subscriber to your channel now. Thanks and please keep up the good work!

Just a quick note about Teflon tape... You should never use it on a drain plug with a sealing washer. It's only for old school pipe thread plugs.

You did not focus the camera in your project😳

Thank you! I am considering doing this for first time next year. We dont vacation because of our dogs as well. This gives me hope! Looking forward to watching your adventures!

Love your videos! Quick question... We are seriously considering using the same Class B you have as a second vehicle as well. We live in Nashville, and it looks like you may be as well. Have you found using the Travato in that town/area "doable"? Keep the videos coming! 👍

Great vid bro. You seem really down to earth and had some great tips and advice. Look forward to seeing more 👍

2023 59g. Thanks for putting this video out. My 1st gen oil change. There were no surprises. Very tight spaces and my creeper was no help. Never used an oil pump. I am glad it worked flawlessly. Really appreciate your video.

Considering what these RVs cost, there's no excuse for water getting in. They should be just as water-tight as a car. I've been looking at RVs, and am getting discouraged by the quality.

Hey bro, it's unfortunate that you've disappeared, but we all hope you'll come back soon. These are some great videos.

i like your show. you are more believable than the long time jaded reviewers. BTW your dogs are so ugly they are cute. keep up the good work.

FYI, the window leak is because they put a window in that requires a 1" thick wall. Since the van skin is very thin, they made up the rest of the thickness required with 3/4" plywood and a non curing sealant - basically black silly putty. Every time you close a door, the air pressure in the van temporarily increases, causing the windows to pop out and squeezing the silly putty on their plywood backer thinner. Eventually the windows become loose because of this. The caulk fix you preformed is a great temporary fix, but eventually the window will shift again. In order to fix it permanently, you need to take the clamping pieces off of the interior and insert some type of shims (I used hardboard) to bring the total thickness just over 1" so that the windows can clamp onto the van sides properly.

It would have been better if you had gotten a Tesla model Y which has dog mode and full self driving for long drives.

I knew it you’re the guitarist that I keep seeing in ads before fb and youtube before. Awesome RV!

You can buy aluminum extrusion channels that you can put LED lights in and put a plastic defused shield over the aluminum channel. it would look more professional and still give you the diffused light you want.

Love your share hoping to own one some day! God Bless you “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: after that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.” 1 Corinthians 15:1-8 KJV Eyes on Jesus… tomorrow is not Promised… Be right with the Lord today … His Sacrifice on the Cross to pay for our sins past present and future sins… He is the Lamb of God… the Last Sacrifice… The wages of sin is death -Hell… but Jesus paid the fine… That’s why his final word was It is Finished… Gave up his Soul… He resurrected on the Third day to Conquer death and give the repentant Believer Eternity in Heaven with him and the Father… Eternity is a long time and your Soul after you die lives for Eternity but the key point is Location Location… Location!

A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. The phrase “reprobate mind” is found in Romans 1:28 in reference to those whom God has rejected as godless and wicked. They “suppress the truth by their wickedness,” and it is upon these people that the wrath of God rests (Romans 1:18). The Greek word translated “reprobate” in the New Testament is adokimos, which means literally “unapproved, that is, rejected; by implication, worthless (literally or morally).” ”Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.“ Romans 1:24-32 KJV bible.com/bible/1/rom.1.28.KJV

Payments from $992.00 a month. 😂😂😂 Heck No!

I'm always afraid I'm going to turn the bolt the wrong way and tighten it by mistake.

Great video! I just got a Airstream Interstate, which has the QG 2800i (HGLAA Spec A) installed and I may have to perform this service on our first trip. Your video helped me know that this is a service I can perform. Reading through the manual it recommends SAE 30w for summer temperatures in the mid-atlantic region (> 32F). The manual () recommends 10W-30 for temperatures from 0F to 80F. Please let me know if I'm missing something, but the 10W-30 may be a bit light if you are taking summer trips in the US. Thanks again for the video.

Dem tats tho!😄

Warning PLEASE NOTE: Watch this video to the end: The Onan QG 2800I which is the new quiet generator uses a FULL QUART of synthetic oil . NOT 12 oz. as shown INITIALLY in this video. All the old videos from several years ago are now obsolete for those with the new Onan. This genny is standard on most class B vans starting in 21-22 model year going forward. Everything else with this Great Video appears correct although I personally find no need to use Teflon tape since there is a Crush Washer on the new drain plug. In case you lose the crush washer (i did, lol), you can easily get a replacement at any auto parts store

Had a similar issue with my Travato that I bought last June with the generator. One day it just would not start. Got underneath and started feeling for cables. There is one cable coming out the front of the generator that I think is the main control bundle. I gave it a good push, but nothing clicked. However, the generator started after that and so far no more issues.

RJ, great content man! Please keep them coming

Wow, glad I watched this. Somewhere I got the impression first oil change was at 50 hours. Thanks for the video. BTW, I have a large 200ml syringe to fill the oil with. I like it better than those pumps. Also, I've never used teflon tape on drain plugs. Somewhere along the way I was told that stuff would be bad if any managed to migrate up into the oil pan. Thanks for the video.

I would be careful about using reflectix on plastic windows because of the increased heat put on the windows. It's good for winter, but be careful during the summer.

No oil filter on the generator?

I don't think mine came with a curtain to separate the cab from the house. I used the existing screws to mount some rare earth magnets there, then made two curtains with reflectix and white blackout material. It provides a ton of thermal isolation and at night you can't see that the house lights are on if you're walking by.

How about a white color vehicle. Much cooler. Touch a white vehicle then touch a black vehicle in the sun. You will know. Also, white stays and looks clean longer.

A great video! Thanks for sharing. Does anyone know what the valve lash is supposed to be on these 2800i generators? The owners manual says it should be checked at the 450 hour mark.

So cool. Let me see if my HOA will allow this?

Love the van name! Lol

Thanks for the tutorial. I just bought all the nessary stuff. Now to do it. I noticed you did not jack up or ramp up the back end. I bought 4 inch ramps. It will give me a few extra inches to work with. Looking forward to seeing your other videos.

This is a man who knows how to put the PEDAL to the METAL🤘🏼 Cool van man. Love your videos I clicked on the thumbnail to tell you that you just like R.J. lol.

more videos plz

I have followed your guitar channel since the beginning!

Good work on this. I just got a 2000 Roadtrek with a 2800 generator and I'm checking videos to pick up details on this. Working from underneath like you did, a pump is a good way to add the oil - there's no room to tip a bottle underneath the vehicle.

get a wire loop with screw loops on. they are used for multiple wires to hold together.

Could you give me information on your front curtains and rod? I love that idea!

The van name...hilarious!!!

Hey! Just found you, buying my used 2020 k this week! Like your meals, I eat like you do :) and I can relate to vegenaise mayo and the Amy's . Didn't realize that we have a convection oven, I thought it was a microwave, so thanks for pointing that out.

I also change my own oil on the newer style Onan generator. Tips I would add is I drain into a oil pan that holds the oil inside to make transport to oil recycling center easier, Walmart, Napa, and others accept old oil for free so I usually change oil in the parking lot and buy new oil when turning in the old. It is very hard to get entire quart of oil out of bottle with hand pump so I always have 2 quarts of new oil when doing an oil change. I carry all items in storage bin so I can change oil anywhere for both van engine and generator. Usually under $50.00 for supplies to do both and can be done in about 1/2 hour once you have tools and process down.

My Solis PX is my daily driver. It is also a promaster 3500. I live near dc and even drive and park it in the city all the time. It is great since I also have a mobile office with me always.

Black van, why is it so hot in here? LMAO

After the initial 20 hour usage, what is the recommended maintenance oil change after? Great walk through brother.

For the fairy lights, maybe try office cubicle hooks. Office desk cubicles have material padded walls, and cubicle hooks are made to stick into them. They may also be called fabric wall hooks. Good luck and thank you for the tour.

keep the updates coming..Excellent video

Congrats. We picked ours up 2 weeks ago. Downsized from bigger class c. Safe travels

Nice video! I like the rechargeable fans - they don't get in the way at all. Also, I like some white-noise when I go to bed - do the fans make some (not a lot) of noise? If so, they would be great to have on while sleeping.

Great update! Can't wait to see you using the van on an adventure!

Very cool collapsible bin!

Very informative. I had never seen the process before on KZfaq
