Back On The Jacks.. Vintage Truck Camper Renovation
In Episode 75, I get the camper back on the jacks for the first time in almost 2 1/2 years! It is only temporary, so I can move it and start building some raised beds where it sits now.

    Can I combine the super soak and road flush methods? In other words, can I do the super soak at home 1 week before camping and then drive to the campground and dump when I get there? That would essentially do both unless it would cause a problem. I want to make sure that I don't need space in the tank for better sloshing or that I won't cause and problems when driving with a full tank with all that borax, degreaser/dawn mixture.

But the biggest issue so far it seems are the tanks and the storage containers are filled with debris from squirrels and or other rodents. We had no choice but to use the tanks as is and accidentally overfilled the grey tank. But now we have a macerator and are going to be flushing the black tank this week. Also have a boroscope to inspect wether or not there are any dried waste concrete in the tank definitely. Going to be dumping in a lot of water and soap. The whole thing needs a renovation. I’m guessing a 35 year old p30 rv doesn’t have a level sensor in the tanks? But who knows. I learn more about it every day.

I would think that dumping the tank and then filling half the tank of significantly heated water (125-150°f) and maybe putting in a couple aquarium bubblers along with some borax and a beneficial bacteria product could do some good? Short of removal and replacment or removal and cleaning with a pressure washer wand and then reinstalling the cleaned tank that is.

      No hot water. That plumbing system is 40+ years old! The tank and valves are not designed to hold hot water. You may damage the system. Time is your friend. Fill the tanks and add 1 cup borax and 1 cup dawn to the black and let it sit for at least a week. Grey tank, 1 cup borax, and 2 cups degreaser *(orange cleaner). Dump, rinse, and repeat until it stops smelling. If you are in a big hurry, watch this section of my newer video on the road scrub ua-cam.com/video/RgCK_wV7TLI/v-deo.html

    BORAX RESISTANT O-RINGS AND SEALS Boric acid, also known as Borax, is a white, powdery mineral with a slight alkaline taste. It is widely used in cleaning products and as a preservative and insecticide. When rubber is exposed to boric acid, it can cause a hardening and cracking of the rubber material. This can lead to a weakening and embrittlement of the rubber, making it less resilient and more prone to failure. In addition, boric acid's anti-fungal properties can lead to oxidation of the rubber, further reducing its lifespan and efficacy.

    • @trbowlin
      @trbowlin Місяць тому

      Great question! Boric acid and Borax Laundry additive contains the same metal element, borax, but by its very name, boric acid is acidic and can damage some rubber. Borax (Sodium tetraborate) used in laundry additive is basic when dissolved in water. It will not cause any problems with seals and gate valves. My experience is that it has not caused any problems after 7 years of use. Thanks for watching!

    Boric acid, also known as Borax, is a white, powdery mineral with a slight alkaline taste. It is widely used in cleaning products and as a preservative and insecticide. When rubber is exposed to boric acid, it can cause a hardening and cracking of the rubber material.

    Is the borax harmful to the seals and dump gates?

    Will the fix work for Samsung refrigerator model RF20HFENBSR? Asking as the defrosting heating element seems to come down much closer to the draining hole in my refrigerator. Thanks!

      I'm sorry. I am not familiar with that model, so I can't say for sure.

    Just found your channel! Glad I did. Could the Southwire unit you installed here have been flipped or perhaps rotated 90 degrees so that the line cord didn't have to make the bend? I'm about to install mine and considering the flipping to avoid additional strain on the cord/connection/etc?

      With my advancing age, LOL, I don't recall if there were any restrictions on how it was mounted. I don't think it makes any difference. Thanks for watching!

    Hey TR! I bought a USED camper, and both black and grey tanks weren't in the best shape. The tank level indicators didn't work reliably at first (especially on the grey tank), but your Bio-Geo method fixed the problems with the indicators, and both tanks are flushing pretty clear now. I am SO GRATEFUL for your wonderful informative video!

    I’ve got an ‘83 truck camper I started gutting…. But since it’s been sitting up the manual jacks won’t even function cause the pins are broke off inside the gears…. Even for a handyman like me it can be hard to know where to begin

      here is an insider tip. Start removing screws from the exterior trim, etc. If they are just rusty, you have some water damage but may not be too bad. If they are mostly rusted away or the heads rust or break off, you have major damage and rotten wood. Thanks for watching!

      Don't know what your talking about. I was just broke down in my RV at Freightliner in Cedar Rapids and the festival was a good way to kill a day. I rather enjoyed it.
