Everything Broken On The FREE Abandoned RV

[Music] 71 000 miles on this girl it's trying to kick on and goes right back off again you can see the whole thing is bubbled what do you just think of the old girl well it's got nice tail lights here we go I sure hope this thing checks out good with Steve because Grizzly is taking it tomorrow to go all the way to Alabama for us to finally finish the blue tarp special this is our 1999 Coachman RV that was donated for free to Wings of compassion where we serve veterans through Aviation Steve is coming he was the guy that helped us diagnose this thing when we first got it he's going to tell us everything that's wrong with it I mean it's going to be just fine wow I just learned they just bought this truck today and it's got 45.7 miles have you worked on any RVs since you got the truck nope this would be the first die that's why we heck yeah sorry I didn't mean to like me you're probably like whoa take it easy on the truck what do you think oh it looks sharp that's a good I mean I know it's got some got some work the paint's not bad so where'd you want to start first you're the boss you tell me well you already did a service on your engine so how old are RV tires when how often are they supposed to change between eight to ten years okay so we're at the very end of their life expectancy and that's assuming that they weren't sitting in sand you can see the depth yeah they were sitting all the way up to here in San because he had his covers covers on there it took a lot of that checking any cracking from age I'm not seeing anything we need to find some anti-wrinkle cream or something is that your brake pads are good brake stroke looks good you're because you got air brake system yeah it looks like you're just about a inch and a half out from the canister which is proper for this you remember putting that clamp on there yes I remember still holding that yeah it's still there well that temporary might just be permanent for a while huh 71 000 miles on this girl you do have some checking on your cracking on you know little age cracking on your airbags so I'm not necessarily have to do it right now but I definitely would be thinking about getting them replaced and what are you looking for I'm just right now I'm just inspecting for your uh any leaks any major leaks and uh on this side over here just be careful where you're grabbing because we ran over a deer the first time we got it so there's deer on this side here and chunks yeah yeah there's still a chunk of them back there yeah yeah those are always nice yeah that is fine you know your AC compressor is back here just hanging right uh that that's a modification we did yeah so our high horsepower mod that's uh giving yourself about 25 more horsepower is that what you did that's right yeah no major corrosion other than the normal the normal rust checking your belt seems to be in decent condition fan hook bearings are good other than normal seepage you know here and there it's in really good shape here let me pop the hood for you yeah [Music] there you go right now I'm just listening for your your fuel pump hear that yeah that's a primer I'm Prime in it foreign good uh it popped the breaker kept popping it and I figured the starter was stuck so I went in there with my small three pound Sledge whacked a snot out of it what you're seeing now is is what it does when it was running it had a distinct old day Factory smoke and so we we pulled this panel back just a smidge these are all magnets here let's oh you got your magnets off of your uh so and that's just what I found yeah before I stopped digging yeah that's why it won't stay running because yeah it's got to see the voltage from your generator before it'll tell the ECM of it to you to let it run because that's static and rotor basically grenaded itself yeah but hey your engine starts pretty decent I mean when it starts great so you might have fixed the starter with the hammer again yeah you know well good news everything looks really decent on it other than maybe that part oh wow yeah your AC the whole the operator is fell off of this yeah the housing broke oh there he is found him same thing with your front airbag you're gonna they're even worse than the back ones so just plan on getting some air back never mind you don't want to hear that I actually went to school for automotive and diesel so according to my schooling I'm supposed to know how to do all this but that was like 24 years ago I've forgotten a lot of that since then do me a favor and once you hop up in there and step on the make sure the air brakes are gotta uh got at least 100 PSI pressure in it and then you can shut it off and then we're going to step on the brakes okay a full application all right all right go ahead and full application here we go I don't think I've ever put the pedal all the way down all right you can let up have we checked your hydraulic system the Jacks yes yes and we've checked the fluid level in that no all right so we normally do those with them all the way up so we might as well do that now okay then inventor yeah it's a vent cap you got to put your wrench underneath there oh and take that off and normally at this point they should be about oh about right in there full [Music] so I do have to ask you whenever we went down there to go look at this the first time that was the first time you had ever been in a little airplane wasn't it other than when I was a kid oh that's right and your brother because it's somebody like scared you yeah you scared me yeah that was the first time for a long long time yeah so yeah you asked me he said would I do it again yeah yeah you'd go up in that the pretending not at night yeah that was not stuck down there because this the current person occupying the white house right now was down there so they had a no-fly zone over the whole area and we were stuck there to what 9 30 10 o'clock at night or something like that you couldn't even leave till then so then we flew all the way back at night there was a little bit of clouds whenever we were coming into land coming through a little bit of that so on the 310 The Landing lights are huge and they fold out from under the bottom of the wing and we took off and I cleaned up and flapped and I'm like something feels weird with the controls on this thing and as I was turning I saw the switches for the landing lights were still down and I'm like you gotta be kidding so I flipped them and they came up and I was like perfect and everything was said I'm like ah just kidding ATC headed back to Plant City you can only know what I was imagining when you said that Houston we have a problem oh yeah middle of the night I couldn't see nothing spooky as ever no I got real quiet after that I was focused all right on this one here you got a little dipstick here between the full and the ad Mark slightly screw it down on there and as you can see we're right on the full Mark here let's test the Jacks let's bring them down uh nope nope can't do that oh you can you can get them down they just don't go back up it has the opposite problem of most middle-aged men so how many of the Jacks don't come up the the front two just the front two yeah okay they don't look like they're corroded or nothing they look like in pretty decent shape um I'd have to look at the bores with them down but we could uh lubricate those cylinders and see if we could get in the move up and down it's a possibility if you can't get them to break loose we'll have to replace them to get them to do that how about your awning on the other side no we did not touch that did you want to try that no you don't want to try it huh so I did have a have you checked your hot water heater uh yeah I'll probably die if I get stung again so do we have any water in here have we tried yeah it comes out of the hot water so we do it the so the pump's working in it sometimes I ain't no water going to this thing all right how much am I running this thing all right just set it off we're gonna we're gonna pull the plug out of the bottom you know he doesn't know this but we know this we couldn't get the thing to turn on and I wasn't about to touch it with all the rust and corrosion Happening Here but Grizzly will be ecstatic Ally it would be leaking by now if there was any water in there um it's got some gunk in it it could be flushed but you ain't getting no yeah you don't have no water running to it so let's go find a shut off foreign there we go crap like 15 minutes not even that five minutes he's like oh you guys are just idiots what we got to do is we gotta we gotta bleed the air out of the tank otherwise you can get a hot spot in it if you want to go turn the faucet on on the hot side okay they'll let some of the air out of there too off yep yeah it's off it's still filling so you want me to open it no you can just leave it like that I'm gonna do it from down here now are you able to start it down there or does it automatically how does it work no I have to start it from up there some switches are down here but most of them are all up there dude Grizzly is going to be super excited if this actually works all right there you go okay now so we got water coming out of there oh nice you take it on your uh right there that's when you want to make sure it's full like that now we're ready to flip the switch all right you ready yep let's go ahead see what it does all right fire in the hole it's showing green okay green red green red flicker red green red it's trying to kick on and goes right back off again hey turn that uh turn that power off for me switch is off thank you all right I'm gonna go inside and look real quick for there yeah well no hot water for the man there you go all right Grizzly how about how about your suburban heater what refrigerator and your suburban heater yeah that doesn't work either this don't work either huh the buttons turn on show green but nothing else this is the first time we've had this panel off of it hey there was a pilot light somewhere yeah a refrigerator came on but it's running is it really did you have it hooked up was it did you have the propane on at the time I think so okay yeah so we're just going to assume the heater works fine never thought it would be too hot to turn the heater on huh well I figured maybe at least keep kick on for a minute but not no deal so is one of these things gonna get hotter oh it'll get warm and then they'll start getting colder toward the top but it's going to take a little bit you give it time and this will start warming up and then as it pushes the fluid through it gets cold yep that's broke so bad news for Grizzly the ice maker is not going to work for him here's how you fix that right there there you go see it's fixed now done oh and see now I'm just listening for that's the oven no there's no oven I'm sorry high speed front yep we're getting airflow through there through there nice small propane [Music] there we go that's fancy they're all working good so Let's see we already checked out the plumbing and your shower is working right yeah with about the same amount of water pressure here I don't have the oh you got the valves on over there oh the water pumping spray at your face there's full water pressure right there yeah that's there's something plugged on that one I'd take that end off [Music] yeah see how the it's the the blue in there still got the antifreeze in there if we had a fault through your refrigerator it would be you'd be a light here would be a light on so it's showing it's showing working and that switch down there I turned it on I turned it on and we had it going for a couple hours and it never did even feel cool nothing yeah and it could be that it's not a Freon too you noticed you're staying on your ceiling here especially when you've got a skylight here and uh when I was outside I did notice uh looks like your top of your roof might be damaged a little bit let's go take a look at that sure it's fine [Music] I'm gonna see the world's coolest ladder um all your lap sealants cracked that's where all your leaks are coming from they got like Grand Canyon Cat gaps in them you could probably do a patch on here because without looking at the rest of it let's just assume the rest of it's good a coating that goes over these that's like a real thick rubber this is where our where our leak is around the Skylight in the bathroom right here as you can see we have cracking in our lap sealant around here and then for the Boeing on the side of course we just confirmed that your roof lining is you see that here yeah that's wood see how soft that wood is yeah right there and it comes over to this side piece here yeah and then that's with the water is getting up underneath here and then going down and down the wall and then we have of course all your other lap sealant too and then you have your refrigerator vent that's missing all together so now that when it rains it'll go down and go out oh look there's just a and then there's oh this is all soft yeah oh yeah we got our antennas AC unit this one works oh yeah all right now this is the first time we've had this open so just make sure there's no wasps Nest yep yep there is one but there ain't nobody on it that's good not today Satan there's no squirrels in the squirrels oh the motor seems to turn yep um that clicking there's going to be a control box up in here and now is that inside where the filter is inside it'll be up in the filter I couldn't take any of that so it's up in there and sometimes you could not saying that's the proper fix but it's a temporary get you going until you can get it all right we're good here everything looks good I don't see no I don't see anything major damage here good to go up here oh wow other than that oh yeah you're really soft there that is trampoline-ish right there how's your dash fan blow uh the bluff is fine outside here uh the AC as you remember is sitting off the delete kit that's correct one air conditioner over there this one is uh Gone optional I got some streaks on the inside yeah don't worry about that that's normal horn no it doesn't work either TV works the most important thing and the VCR wow well we had a movie going on Monsters versus Aliens yeah a Spanish version or something all right Steve all right well I pretty much got everything I need uh for the information on this so what I'll do is I'll go back and I'll crunch some numbers get some info on what we need and we'll get back to you well for the you know the YouTubers what uh what do you just think of the old girl well it's got nice tail lights got Grizzly set up here got a new refrigerator since that one took a crap got a new generator since the old one took crap uh and what else is not working the hot water heater it's gonna be hot anyway so he's good then we got your five bees you got your beans your balloony brats your bacon and your Bible it's really all you need to survive got our first repair we got to do a little issue with the old cabinet right here but we gotta fix for that Jesse there we go oh it's perfect I

never wants to do another MRE ever again you got to get the you got to get the good kind yeah the make it yourself lasagna yeah there you go oh I can really like put my finger inside So Soft right here like you can see the whole thing was bubbled two and a half rolls of duct tape later we got most of the holes filled in um we got this roof vent that roof vent uh the sun room shade thing for the shower with the big hole that was in the side of the roof um and then we have the other roof vent and the hole filled in enough hi grizzly have fun in Alabama a Grizzly yeah man hey uh have you left
