[0:00] this life saw can be so damn weird we've

[0:03] woken up to a noise in

[0:06] RV have no idea what it

[0:15] is where is that coming

[0:25] from uhoh hope I didn't run my battery

[0:29] said

[0:31] forgot about this

[0:33] thing well we're plugged into

[0:38] Power well at least I figured it

[0:44] out I don't know I just woke up so that

[0:48] could actually be a problem that's um an

[0:50] always

[0:52] on what's it called v9

[0:56] V8 D12 what the hell is that called like

[1:00] I just woke up anyway it's always on

[1:04] draining from the battery that's part of

[1:07] the vehicle not the the camper part so I

[1:11] could

[1:12] have drained the battery we're going to

[1:14] have to find

[1:16] out oh man that had been there 4 days

[1:19] today is

[1:23] Monday many days cuz we got here

[1:25] Wednesday right I'm surprised time

[1:28] time's going pretty fast if

[1:31] it's damn

[1:34] really I probably have really drained

[1:36] that battery so we're going to have to

[1:38] turn on the engine and let it run I

[1:40] guess for a

[1:42] while how would I check to see how it's

[1:45] doing though like how do you check

[1:47] something I guess I'll have to I'll have

[1:49] to Google

[1:50] it so I'm going to talk about

[1:54] something I'm a little frustrated this

[1:56] morning because the video I posted

[1:59] yesterday it it is an hour long so I'm

[2:01] not surprised that most people won't

[2:02] watch it right I let me explain so I

[2:06] posted a video last tonight because of

[2:08] my Internet situation I don't really

[2:11] have a lot of control over when it ends

[2:13] up

[2:14] online and it it uploaded at around

[2:18] midnight and it is 9:00 in the morning

[2:20] here and it's had 3,500 views 25 people

[2:24] have watched it one person has liked it

[2:28] and on average they watched about 7

[2:30] Minutes of it so it's a very horrible

[2:33] clickthrough

[2:34] R but not real surprising given a couple

[2:38] of factors like it was overnight I have

[2:41] no it was shown to people who don't know

[2:43] me it was like 99% unsubscribed people

[2:46] was probably people from

[2:48] overseas you know cuz we're sleeping at

[2:50] that time and it's an hour long so not

[2:53] everyone's going to click on that

[2:56] totally get that but then

[3:00] those that do I just I are not

[3:03] interested in what I have to say you

[3:07] know and that's represented through the

[3:09] average view duration and the number of

[3:11] likes it get so it's like I'm just very

[3:14] frustrated I spend a lot of time on that

[3:16] one you know I'm I'm experimenting with

[3:21] new different ways of filming

[3:24] and I enjoy the process but it also has

[3:28] to be something that works for people

[3:30] because otherwise I can't invest the

[3:32] amount of time it takes I spend hours

[3:35] editing that on my desktop hours I all

[3:39] day from the time I got back until a

[3:42] couple of hours before it

[3:45] uploaded

[3:46] so and I was already thinking well that

[3:49] was too much effort you

[3:51] know juggling multiple cameras and

[3:55] syncing them up and all of that it's

[3:56] actually pretty difficult so I'm going

[4:00] to have to get better at it or

[4:01] streamline it or you know all of that

[4:03] like there's a lot of factors that are

[4:05] going through my head right

[4:06] now and so I'm just acknowledging how I

[4:09] feel right now I feel disappointed and

[4:12] frustrated and discouraged I feel very

[4:19] discouraged because I really need this

[4:22] to work and if it's not going to work

[4:24] then I need to give up on it I

[4:27] just that is that's attention for me

[4:29] right now that's where my head is so I'm

[4:32] sharing it okay so I got the vehicle

[4:35] turned on uh it's

[4:38] running AI says to give it like 30

[4:40] minutes so we're going to do that

[4:42] because I was been draining it's called

[4:44] the chassis battery so whatever you know

[4:46] the one with in the

[4:49] engine I guess we're running this for 30

[4:53] minutes man all the things you got to

[4:55] remember you know just a lot they just

[4:59] had that little tire monitor thing

[5:01] plugged

[5:03] in oh I should have well I'm kind of

[5:07] redoing the setup in there you know

[5:09] that's the only thing that was plugged

[5:10] in I didn't have my that partic it's

[5:13] called a 12vt that particular 12vt was

[5:16] it's always on there's another one that

[5:18] isn't it's only on when the engine is on

[5:21] and if I had plugged it into that this

[5:23] wouldn't have been a problem but this is

[5:26] part of the learning process and I'm

[5:27] going to

[5:29] um I have like this 12vt Hub that's

[5:32] usually plugged in there but you know I

[5:34] was cleaning out the cab area and stuff

[5:36] and I took down all of my mounts I'll

[5:39] fix that while we're here I'm going to

[5:41] have to add that to my list there's so

[5:43] much to do can't believe time's going

[5:46] too fast I wasn't even thinking about

[5:48] wow it's already like it's

[5:50] Monday and we got here Wednesday I I'm

[5:53] almost sure we got here

[5:56] Wednesday not to look that up I think it

[5:59] was Wednesday today it could have been

[6:00] Thursday but I think it was

[6:01] Wednesday so I'm really glad it had that

[6:04] warning system that's helpful

[6:06] right um I don't know how you check

[6:09] battery power I think I was asking Ai

[6:12] and it mentioned a multimeter and I have

[6:14] a thing I think might be what it's

[6:16] talking about so we're going to try that

[6:18] I guess I'm going to go look for it and

[6:20] see if we can check check

[6:23] it okay I have this thing and I asked a

[6:26] what to do it's going to go in that

[6:28] position there once we figure out how to

[6:30] open this I don't even know how to do

[6:33] that oh this is

[6:39] funny this is hard to De with one hand a

[6:42] feel like you

[6:45] just how do I not know how to open

[6:50] this so there might be something

[6:55] inside I'm going to have to move this

[6:58] way

[7:05] we want to open the

[7:11] hood literally don't know how to open my

[7:14] hood what is

[7:17] this WOW even

[7:21] more

[7:24] okay don't know how to open you

[7:29] I don't see

[7:34] anything wow got this thing 6 months and

[7:38] I don't know how to open my

[7:40] hood that is

[7:42] wild feeling unprepared

[7:46] today I've been meaning to get it into a

[7:48] shop cuz I want them to just check the

[7:50] oil and stuff like that so I don't know

[7:53] anything about engines there's

[7:57] a wonder what this is for

[8:00] afraid to do anything with it okay I

[8:04] think that was it oh there's this right

[8:07] here I pulled

[8:09] that I had it opened

[8:13] it yep it

[8:21] did give me a minute here figure out how

[8:24] this stays

[8:25] up I have no idea when this shut off but

[8:28] I did figure out Hood keeps itself out

[8:33] um there's an issue I think probably

[8:35] with that that doesn't look good to me a

[8:38] little bit dirty

[8:40] there I don't want to get this cleaned

[8:44] off um otherwise it looks fine to me

[8:48] like you know with my untrained eyes but

[8:52] the battery I forgot it's in

[8:56] here wait where is the battery

[8:59] there's a battery icon

[9:03] here oh my God I'm so unprepared for

[9:06] stuff like this how do

[9:10] you I don't understand where is my

[9:13] battery

[9:18] at like is it down

[9:26] here no

[9:29] I don't see a

[9:31] battery something's leaking over there I

[9:34] hope that's

[9:36] normal oh my

[9:39] God

[9:44] troubling there a battery icon so what

[9:47] do you

[9:51] do I'm going to have to ask Ai and these

[9:54] are

[9:56] fuses yes and those are fuses there's

[10:00] fuses all

[10:02] over um I have no idea how you even look

[10:06] at the battery that is insane let me ask

[10:09] a I okay so we couldn't check the

[10:11] chassis battery power

[10:14] because I think you unscrew those

[10:17] there's like three screws they look

[10:18] star- shaped to me I might have a tool

[10:20] for it I'm not sure I'd need to look but

[10:22] I let it run for 30 minutes I think it's

[10:24] probably fine so why I go through the

[10:26] effort we don't have to um when I

[10:29] planning to take it to an RV place

[10:31] anyways we can let them do

[10:34] that um it took me a minute to figure

[10:36] out how to shut the hood I had to ask Ai

[10:39] and even then it still took me a minute

[10:42] all this stuff is new you know it's all

[10:46] new I've never worked on a vehicle in my

[10:48] life so I don't know anything about the

[10:50] vehicle part of

[10:52] it I am a programmer so my I'm always

[10:55] been focused on computers in my mind

[10:58] I've never really dealt with practical

[11:00] challenges like

[11:02] this so it's all new that's what this

[11:05] channel is about you just embrace it you

[11:07] go with it and do your

[11:09] best so I think what we're going to do

[11:12] I'm going to go down to that place that

[11:14] I found the RV place and just talk to

[11:16] them tell them what my current

[11:18] challenges are find out if they can help

[11:21] us um let me just walk you through the

[11:23] ones that are on the outside because I'm

[11:25] going to share it with them too so um

[11:28] this store Bay starting to collapse I

[11:31] noticed I just I noticed that the other

[11:33] day there is towing or there's um the

[11:38] stuff you prop a vehicle up with it's in

[11:40] there it's

[11:41] heavy so I'm thinking I would have

[11:45] thought that it could handle that but I

[11:47] guess I guess it's a

[11:49] problem um don't know what to do about

[11:52] that cuz I wanted to carry that Gear

[11:54] with me but maybe we can't this is

[11:57] leaking water it's that's

[12:01] my why can't I think of words today

[12:03] whatever that thing is the awning um

[12:06] it's leaking water like right there you

[12:08] can see it oh it's in a few

[12:11] places that's leaking right or is it

[12:13] just like condensation I don't know I've

[12:15] never seen it do that before though so

[12:18] it feels new that's air conditioner

[12:21] water it's just you know it goes to the

[12:22] edge and then it drops down like it's

[12:24] supposed to but I've never seen it do it

[12:26] on the awning part so we got that issue

[12:30] oh look at that my

[12:32] little um tank monitor another one fell

[12:35] off cuz I couldn't keep them on myself I

[12:38] I need them to install those so we'll

[12:40] ask them about that

[12:42] too because I'm clearly not good at this

[12:45] stuff

[12:46] right this is the second one to fall

[12:51] off um what else we have going on

[12:55] here I want to get little things that

[12:58] prevent insect from getting in

[13:00] there just in case you know be proactive

[13:03] about

[13:05] that um slightly concerned about the

[13:08] tires but I do feel like we most those

[13:11] actually look pretty good but I can't

[13:12] reach one of them now because they had

[13:14] to take out

[13:16] them um no not this side the other

[13:21] side they had to take out

[13:24] the

[13:26] extender so we can reach one but we

[13:29] can't reach the other which means I

[13:30] can't check it I can't you know make

[13:32] sure that it's got enough air in

[13:36] it um let's see what

[13:40] else we need to have the slide looked at

[13:43] cuz it's making weird noises and it's

[13:44] not coming in and out um at the same

[13:47] rate on both sides that that's that's a

[13:49] new thing this side is struggling a

[13:52] little

[13:53] bit and it just makes a horrible

[13:57] noise we can probably even asked them to

[14:00] look at the power um there's a little

[14:02] power core thing in there that um had

[14:05] some arcing on it you know we did have a

[14:08] guy come out and look at it he said it's

[14:10] fine but I don't want to trust that I

[14:13] want someone else to look at it I want a

[14:14] second opinion and the same thing

[14:16] happened to my to that

[14:19] so um I just want this stuff looked at I

[14:22] want to feel comfortable that

[14:23] everything's working right I guess

[14:25] that's our plan today we're going to go

[14:27] and talk to the RV people

[14:29] and figure out

[14:31] if what this is going to cost me and how

[14:35] long they'll need and stuff like that

[14:37] time's getting away from me I mean if

[14:39] I've been here since Wednesday and it's

[14:40] Monday like almost a week oh here was

[14:43] another issue so many that speaker got

[14:46] loose somehow and came out so I got to

[14:50] get that

[14:51] fixed I guess they could ask them to

[14:53] just go up on the roof make sure

[14:55] everything's sealed up well I noticed

[14:57] that

[14:59] there's a bit of sagging on my air

[15:01] condition on the

[15:02] inside a little bit concerned about that

[15:05] like it just needs to be resealed

[15:07] probably just little things like that

[15:10] so guz that's what we're doing

[15:13] today I also want them to look at um I

[15:16] want to see if they can clamp down my

[15:18] solar stuff so that I don't have to keep

[15:19] pulling it down every time I move it can

[15:21] just be there and I know it's secure and

[15:23] isn't going to go anywhere so that was

[15:25] another

[15:26] thing um I kind of want to clean my Air

[15:28] Condition conditioning vents because

[15:30] there is a smell sometimes when that

[15:32] kicks on I tried fixing that myself and

[15:36] it's just it's an unreachable area for

[15:38] me I'm not really I I don't want to

[15:40] there's like wires and stuff I don't

[15:41] want to spray anything in there I have

[15:42] this stuff that's supposed to help but I

[15:45] didn't want to risk like getting the

[15:47] wires um so a lot of little things and I

[15:50] just remembered that yesterday we passed

[15:52] a place where an RV repair place that

[15:56] wasn't an RV dealers jip it looked like

[15:59] like an established business that might

[16:02] be exactly who you want to talk to so um

[16:05] we're going to we're going to check both

[16:07] though I'm going to go to both and tell

[16:09] them my problems and just see if I can

[16:11] get an estimate on time and

[16:13] cost so I guess today we're dealing with

[16:15] RV maintenance so I've been hanging out

[16:18] around this side of my RV cuz there's

[16:20] nobody over here so I've just been

[16:23] relaxing out you know I love my solitude

[16:25] and I don't like feeling observed and

[16:27] all these other qualities Le that I have

[16:30] those people just left we are alone now

[16:34] there's no one on this

[16:35] side yay get to hang out on our own Park

[16:39] our own picnic

[16:41] Ben oh that's I'm happy despite all

[16:45] these problems we are out here by

[16:48] ourself they're going to empty their

[16:50] tanks I can see them doing that and then

[16:53] they're leaving well I hope they're not

[16:54] coming

[16:55] back n they've emptied out their site

[16:58] there leaving so it's just us back

[17:03] here um you guys haven't seen my video

[17:06] cuz I talked about that but at the end

[17:09] of it I noticed most people were gone I

[17:10] was very happy about that and I know

[17:13] that most people aren't that way um it's

[17:16] not an antisocial thing guys it's just

[17:18] the way I am

[17:20] I I do a lot better when I'm on my alone

[17:23] when I don't feel like I'm being

[17:24] observed by others when I can just it's

[17:26] freedom to me it's liberation

[17:29] that's why I try so hard to find places

[17:31] where I can just be on my own because it

[17:35] dramatically influences how my internal

[17:38] State feels like them leaving just now

[17:41] is a huge lift off my shoulders and I

[17:43] know that that seems strange to most

[17:45] people but it's how I work and I embrace

[17:48] it and that's why I have this lifestyle

[17:50] and it's why I put so much effort

[17:52] into trying to match my environment so

[17:55] that it matches what works for me so

[17:59] despite all this stuff it's going to be

[18:01] a good day I been wanting to get it down

[18:03] to a place that I really wanted someone

[18:06] to just look at the engine because um

[18:09] nobody's done that yet you know and I

[18:11] don't know like if it needs new it

[18:13] doesn't have a lot of miles on it so it

[18:16] should be fairly good but that def thing

[18:18] looked weird to me and you know I just

[18:21] want to I want to be proactive about

[18:23] this stuff and I just haven't gotten it

[18:24] anywhere yet cuz I haven't really known

[18:26] where to take it I didn't want to take

[18:27] it to a place like camp world I'm not a

[18:29] fan of

[18:30] them um but we found a couple places and

[18:33] you know that was part of the plan um

[18:35] while I was here um I actually expressed

[18:38] that on patreon so you might not have

[18:39] heard me talk about it but I made a long

[18:41] list of things that um I need to get

[18:45] done and we just added a whole bunch of

[18:47] new ones but they're all related and you

[18:49] know that's I thrive on that sort of

[18:51] thing um I'm going to plan my day I'm

[18:55] adapting my day based on um the

[18:58] situation from this morning and the

[19:00] other factors that I was already

[19:02] considering and we're just going to do

[19:03] them all so stay tuned

[0:00] this life saw can be so damn weird we've

[0:03] woken up to a noise in

[0:06] RV have no idea what it

[0:15] is where is that coming

[0:25] from uhoh hope I didn't run my battery

[0:29] said

[0:31] forgot about this

[0:33] thing well we're plugged into

[0:38] Power well at least I figured it

[0:44] out I don't know I just woke up so that

[0:48] could actually be a problem that's um an

[0:50] always

[0:52] on what's it called v9

[0:56] V8 D12 what the hell is that called like

[1:00] I just woke up anyway it's always on

[1:04] draining from the battery that's part of

[1:07] the vehicle not the the camper part so I

[1:11] could

[1:12] have drained the battery we're going to

[1:14] have to find

[1:16] out oh man that had been there 4 days

[1:19] today is

[1:23] Monday many days cuz we got here

[1:25] Wednesday right I'm surprised time

[1:28] time's going pretty fast if

[1:31] it's damn

[1:34] really I probably have really drained

[1:36] that battery so we're going to have to

[1:38] turn on the engine and let it run I

[1:40] guess for a

[1:42] while how would I check to see how it's

[1:45] doing though like how do you check

[1:47] something I guess I'll have to I'll have

[1:49] to Google

[1:50] it so I'm going to talk about

[1:54] something I'm a little frustrated this

[1:56] morning because the video I posted

[1:59] yesterday it it is an hour long so I'm

[2:01] not surprised that most people won't

[2:02] watch it right I let me explain so I

[2:06] posted a video last tonight because of

[2:08] my Internet situation I don't really

[2:11] have a lot of control over when it ends

[2:13] up

[2:14] online and it it uploaded at around

[2:18] midnight and it is 9:00 in the morning

[2:20] here and it's had 3,500 views 25 people

[2:24] have watched it one person has liked it

[2:28] and on average they watched about 7

[2:30] Minutes of it so it's a very horrible

[2:33] clickthrough

[2:34] R but not real surprising given a couple

[2:38] of factors like it was overnight I have

[2:41] no it was shown to people who don't know

[2:43] me it was like 99% unsubscribed people

[2:46] was probably people from

[2:48] overseas you know cuz we're sleeping at

[2:50] that time and it's an hour long so not

[2:53] everyone's going to click on that

[2:56] totally get that but then

[3:00] those that do I just I are not

[3:03] interested in what I have to say you

[3:07] know and that's represented through the

[3:09] average view duration and the number of

[3:11] likes it get so it's like I'm just very

[3:14] frustrated I spend a lot of time on that

[3:16] one you know I'm I'm experimenting with

[3:21] new different ways of filming

[3:24] and I enjoy the process but it also has

[3:28] to be something that works for people

[3:30] because otherwise I can't invest the

[3:32] amount of time it takes I spend hours

[3:35] editing that on my desktop hours I all

[3:39] day from the time I got back until a

[3:42] couple of hours before it

[3:45] uploaded

[3:46] so and I was already thinking well that

[3:49] was too much effort you

[3:51] know juggling multiple cameras and

[3:55] syncing them up and all of that it's

[3:56] actually pretty difficult so I'm going

[4:00] to have to get better at it or

[4:01] streamline it or you know all of that

[4:03] like there's a lot of factors that are

[4:05] going through my head right

[4:06] now and so I'm just acknowledging how I

[4:09] feel right now I feel disappointed and

[4:12] frustrated and discouraged I feel very

[4:19] discouraged because I really need this

[4:22] to work and if it's not going to work

[4:24] then I need to give up on it I

[4:27] just that is that's attention for me

[4:29] right now that's where my head is so I'm

[4:32] sharing it okay so I got the vehicle

[4:35] turned on uh it's

[4:38] running AI says to give it like 30

[4:40] minutes so we're going to do that

[4:42] because I was been draining it's called

[4:44] the chassis battery so whatever you know

[4:46] the one with in the

[4:49] engine I guess we're running this for 30

[4:53] minutes man all the things you got to

[4:55] remember you know just a lot they just

[4:59] had that little tire monitor thing

[5:01] plugged

[5:03] in oh I should have well I'm kind of

[5:07] redoing the setup in there you know

[5:09] that's the only thing that was plugged

[5:10] in I didn't have my that partic it's

[5:13] called a 12vt that particular 12vt was

[5:16] it's always on there's another one that

[5:18] isn't it's only on when the engine is on

[5:21] and if I had plugged it into that this

[5:23] wouldn't have been a problem but this is

[5:26] part of the learning process and I'm

[5:27] going to

[5:29] um I have like this 12vt Hub that's

[5:32] usually plugged in there but you know I

[5:34] was cleaning out the cab area and stuff

[5:36] and I took down all of my mounts I'll

[5:39] fix that while we're here I'm going to

[5:41] have to add that to my list there's so

[5:43] much to do can't believe time's going

[5:46] too fast I wasn't even thinking about

[5:48] wow it's already like it's

[5:50] Monday and we got here Wednesday I I'm

[5:53] almost sure we got here

[5:56] Wednesday not to look that up I think it

[5:59] was Wednesday today it could have been

[6:00] Thursday but I think it was

[6:01] Wednesday so I'm really glad it had that

[6:04] warning system that's helpful

[6:06] right um I don't know how you check

[6:09] battery power I think I was asking Ai

[6:12] and it mentioned a multimeter and I have

[6:14] a thing I think might be what it's

[6:16] talking about so we're going to try that

[6:18] I guess I'm going to go look for it and

[6:20] see if we can check check

[6:23] it okay I have this thing and I asked a

[6:26] what to do it's going to go in that

[6:28] position there once we figure out how to

[6:30] open this I don't even know how to do

[6:33] that oh this is

[6:39] funny this is hard to De with one hand a

[6:42] feel like you

[6:45] just how do I not know how to open

[6:50] this so there might be something

[6:55] inside I'm going to have to move this

[6:58] way

[7:05] we want to open the

[7:11] hood literally don't know how to open my

[7:14] hood what is

[7:17] this WOW even

[7:21] more

[7:24] okay don't know how to open you

[7:29] I don't see

[7:34] anything wow got this thing 6 months and

[7:38] I don't know how to open my

[7:40] hood that is

[7:42] wild feeling unprepared

[7:46] today I've been meaning to get it into a

[7:48] shop cuz I want them to just check the

[7:50] oil and stuff like that so I don't know

[7:53] anything about engines there's

[7:57] a wonder what this is for

[8:00] afraid to do anything with it okay I

[8:04] think that was it oh there's this right

[8:07] here I pulled

[8:09] that I had it opened

[8:13] it yep it

[8:21] did give me a minute here figure out how

[8:24] this stays

[8:25] up I have no idea when this shut off but

[8:28] I did figure out Hood keeps itself out

[8:33] um there's an issue I think probably

[8:35] with that that doesn't look good to me a

[8:38] little bit dirty

[8:40] there I don't want to get this cleaned

[8:44] off um otherwise it looks fine to me

[8:48] like you know with my untrained eyes but

[8:52] the battery I forgot it's in

[8:56] here wait where is the battery

[8:59] there's a battery icon

[9:03] here oh my God I'm so unprepared for

[9:06] stuff like this how do

[9:10] you I don't understand where is my

[9:13] battery

[9:18] at like is it down

[9:26] here no

[9:29] I don't see a

[9:31] battery something's leaking over there I

[9:34] hope that's

[9:36] normal oh my

[9:39] God

[9:44] troubling there a battery icon so what

[9:47] do you

[9:51] do I'm going to have to ask Ai and these

[9:54] are

[9:56] fuses yes and those are fuses there's

[10:00] fuses all

[10:02] over um I have no idea how you even look

[10:06] at the battery that is insane let me ask

[10:09] a I okay so we couldn't check the

[10:11] chassis battery power

[10:14] because I think you unscrew those

[10:17] there's like three screws they look

[10:18] star- shaped to me I might have a tool

[10:20] for it I'm not sure I'd need to look but

[10:22] I let it run for 30 minutes I think it's

[10:24] probably fine so why I go through the

[10:26] effort we don't have to um when I

[10:29] planning to take it to an RV place

[10:31] anyways we can let them do

[10:34] that um it took me a minute to figure

[10:36] out how to shut the hood I had to ask Ai

[10:39] and even then it still took me a minute

[10:42] all this stuff is new you know it's all

[10:46] new I've never worked on a vehicle in my

[10:48] life so I don't know anything about the

[10:50] vehicle part of

[10:52] it I am a programmer so my I'm always

[10:55] been focused on computers in my mind

[10:58] I've never really dealt with practical

[11:00] challenges like

[11:02] this so it's all new that's what this

[11:05] channel is about you just embrace it you

[11:07] go with it and do your

[11:09] best so I think what we're going to do

[11:12] I'm going to go down to that place that

[11:14] I found the RV place and just talk to

[11:16] them tell them what my current

[11:18] challenges are find out if they can help

[11:21] us um let me just walk you through the

[11:23] ones that are on the outside because I'm

[11:25] going to share it with them too so um

[11:28] this store Bay starting to collapse I

[11:31] noticed I just I noticed that the other

[11:33] day there is towing or there's um the

[11:38] stuff you prop a vehicle up with it's in

[11:40] there it's

[11:41] heavy so I'm thinking I would have

[11:45] thought that it could handle that but I

[11:47] guess I guess it's a

[11:49] problem um don't know what to do about

[11:52] that cuz I wanted to carry that Gear

[11:54] with me but maybe we can't this is

[11:57] leaking water it's that's

[12:01] my why can't I think of words today

[12:03] whatever that thing is the awning um

[12:06] it's leaking water like right there you

[12:08] can see it oh it's in a few

[12:11] places that's leaking right or is it

[12:13] just like condensation I don't know I've

[12:15] never seen it do that before though so

[12:18] it feels new that's air conditioner

[12:21] water it's just you know it goes to the

[12:22] edge and then it drops down like it's

[12:24] supposed to but I've never seen it do it

[12:26] on the awning part so we got that issue

[12:30] oh look at that my

[12:32] little um tank monitor another one fell

[12:35] off cuz I couldn't keep them on myself I

[12:38] I need them to install those so we'll

[12:40] ask them about that

[12:42] too because I'm clearly not good at this

[12:45] stuff

[12:46] right this is the second one to fall

[12:51] off um what else we have going on

[12:55] here I want to get little things that

[12:58] prevent insect from getting in

[13:00] there just in case you know be proactive

[13:03] about

[13:05] that um slightly concerned about the

[13:08] tires but I do feel like we most those

[13:11] actually look pretty good but I can't

[13:12] reach one of them now because they had

[13:14] to take out

[13:16] them um no not this side the other

[13:21] side they had to take out

[13:24] the

[13:26] extender so we can reach one but we

[13:29] can't reach the other which means I

[13:30] can't check it I can't you know make

[13:32] sure that it's got enough air in

[13:36] it um let's see what

[13:40] else we need to have the slide looked at

[13:43] cuz it's making weird noises and it's

[13:44] not coming in and out um at the same

[13:47] rate on both sides that that's that's a

[13:49] new thing this side is struggling a

[13:52] little

[13:53] bit and it just makes a horrible

[13:57] noise we can probably even asked them to

[14:00] look at the power um there's a little

[14:02] power core thing in there that um had

[14:05] some arcing on it you know we did have a

[14:08] guy come out and look at it he said it's

[14:10] fine but I don't want to trust that I

[14:13] want someone else to look at it I want a

[14:14] second opinion and the same thing

[14:16] happened to my to that

[14:19] so um I just want this stuff looked at I

[14:22] want to feel comfortable that

[14:23] everything's working right I guess

[14:25] that's our plan today we're going to go

[14:27] and talk to the RV people

[14:29] and figure out

[14:31] if what this is going to cost me and how

[14:35] long they'll need and stuff like that

[14:37] time's getting away from me I mean if

[14:39] I've been here since Wednesday and it's

[14:40] Monday like almost a week oh here was

[14:43] another issue so many that speaker got

[14:46] loose somehow and came out so I got to

[14:50] get that

[14:51] fixed I guess they could ask them to

[14:53] just go up on the roof make sure

[14:55] everything's sealed up well I noticed

[14:57] that

[14:59] there's a bit of sagging on my air

[15:01] condition on the

[15:02] inside a little bit concerned about that

[15:05] like it just needs to be resealed

[15:07] probably just little things like that

[15:10] so guz that's what we're doing

[15:13] today I also want them to look at um I

[15:16] want to see if they can clamp down my

[15:18] solar stuff so that I don't have to keep

[15:19] pulling it down every time I move it can

[15:21] just be there and I know it's secure and

[15:23] isn't going to go anywhere so that was

[15:25] another

[15:26] thing um I kind of want to clean my Air

[15:28] Condition conditioning vents because

[15:30] there is a smell sometimes when that

[15:32] kicks on I tried fixing that myself and

[15:36] it's just it's an unreachable area for

[15:38] me I'm not really I I don't want to

[15:40] there's like wires and stuff I don't

[15:41] want to spray anything in there I have

[15:42] this stuff that's supposed to help but I

[15:45] didn't want to risk like getting the

[15:47] wires um so a lot of little things and I

[15:50] just remembered that yesterday we passed

[15:52] a place where an RV repair place that

[15:56] wasn't an RV dealers jip it looked like

[15:59] like an established business that might

[16:02] be exactly who you want to talk to so um

[16:05] we're going to we're going to check both

[16:07] though I'm going to go to both and tell

[16:09] them my problems and just see if I can

[16:11] get an estimate on time and

[16:13] cost so I guess today we're dealing with

[16:15] RV maintenance so I've been hanging out

[16:18] around this side of my RV cuz there's

[16:20] nobody over here so I've just been

[16:23] relaxing out you know I love my solitude

[16:25] and I don't like feeling observed and

[16:27] all these other qualities Le that I have

[16:30] those people just left we are alone now

[16:34] there's no one on this

[16:35] side yay get to hang out on our own Park

[16:39] our own picnic

[16:41] Ben oh that's I'm happy despite all

[16:45] these problems we are out here by

[16:48] ourself they're going to empty their

[16:50] tanks I can see them doing that and then

[16:53] they're leaving well I hope they're not

[16:54] coming

[16:55] back n they've emptied out their site

[16:58] there leaving so it's just us back

[17:03] here um you guys haven't seen my video

[17:06] cuz I talked about that but at the end

[17:09] of it I noticed most people were gone I

[17:10] was very happy about that and I know

[17:13] that most people aren't that way um it's

[17:16] not an antisocial thing guys it's just

[17:18] the way I am

[17:20] I I do a lot better when I'm on my alone

[17:23] when I don't feel like I'm being

[17:24] observed by others when I can just it's

[17:26] freedom to me it's liberation

[17:29] that's why I try so hard to find places

[17:31] where I can just be on my own because it

[17:35] dramatically influences how my internal

[17:38] State feels like them leaving just now

[17:41] is a huge lift off my shoulders and I

[17:43] know that that seems strange to most

[17:45] people but it's how I work and I embrace

[17:48] it and that's why I have this lifestyle

[17:50] and it's why I put so much effort

[17:52] into trying to match my environment so

[17:55] that it matches what works for me so

[17:59] despite all this stuff it's going to be

[18:01] a good day I been wanting to get it down

[18:03] to a place that I really wanted someone

[18:06] to just look at the engine because um

[18:09] nobody's done that yet you know and I

[18:11] don't know like if it needs new it

[18:13] doesn't have a lot of miles on it so it

[18:16] should be fairly good but that def thing

[18:18] looked weird to me and you know I just

[18:21] want to I want to be proactive about

[18:23] this stuff and I just haven't gotten it

[18:24] anywhere yet cuz I haven't really known

[18:26] where to take it I didn't want to take

[18:27] it to a place like camp world I'm not a

[18:29] fan of

[18:30] them um but we found a couple places and

[18:33] you know that was part of the plan um

[18:35] while I was here um I actually expressed

[18:38] that on patreon so you might not have

[18:39] heard me talk about it but I made a long

[18:41] list of things that um I need to get

[18:45] done and we just added a whole bunch of

[18:47] new ones but they're all related and you

[18:49] know that's I thrive on that sort of

[18:51] thing um I'm going to plan my day I'm

[18:55] adapting my day based on um the

[18:58] situation from this morning and the

[19:00] other factors that I was already

[19:02] considering and we're just going to do

[19:03] them all so stay tuned

Narrative

The alarm woke him before he understood what it was. A tone from somewhere in the RV, unplaceable in the first seconds of waking, and rswfire moved through the sleeping area tracking it by ear — where is that coming from — until it resolved into the tire pressure monitor he had plugged into the cab and then forgotten about. Four days forgotten. They had arrived Wednesday. It was Monday. The device was drawing from what he would learn, in the next half hour, to call the chassis battery: the vehicle's system, not the camper's, the one that shore power does not touch. He was plugged in and still draining. The rig had been telling him something for four days and had only just gotten loud enough to be heard.

He turned the engine over and let it run, thirty minutes on the recommendation he queried for, and while it idled he set the mechanical problem down and picked up a different one. The hour-long video he had cut the day before — the whole day of it, from the time he got back until a couple of hours before the upload finally cleared his connection around midnight — had been live nine hours. Thirty-five hundred impressions. Twenty-five watched. One like. Seven minutes of average view duration against sixty minutes of runtime. He walked through the mitigating factors out loud and accurately: overnight upload, unsubscribed audience, likely overseas, an hour is a lot to ask of a stranger. Then he stopped mitigating. I feel disappointed and frustrated and discouraged. He was experimenting with multi-camera work, syncing footage, and he enjoyed the process, but the process had to return something or it could not be afforded. He named the threshold plainly — if it isn't going to work then I need to give up on it — and then named what he was doing with it: acknowledging how he felt, and sharing it. No resolution offered. He moved on.

Then he tried to open his hood and discovered he did not know how. Six months with this vehicle and the latch was a puzzle — one hand on the camera, the other feeling along the grille, a run of I don't even know how to do that and how do I not know how to open this delivered without shame, as pure inventory. He found the release. The hood came up and stayed up on its own, which was another thing learned. Inside was a landscape he could describe but not read: something dirty near the DEF, something leaking that he hoped was normal, fuses, more fuses, fuses everywhere, and a battery icon marking a battery he could not actually locate. Three star-shaped screws stood between him and a multimeter reading. He looked at the tools he had, weighed the effort against the fact that he was taking it to a shop anyway, and stopped. Escalate to specialists when the interface is beyond your tooling. I've never worked on a vehicle in my life. I am a programmer. He said it as a fact about domain transfer, not a confession, and then said that this — the not-knowing, embraced and filmed — was what the channel was for.

Outside, he walked the perimeter and turned the rig into a list. The storage bay was starting to collapse under the weight of the leveling gear he wanted to carry. The awning was shedding water in a way he had never seen it do before — AC runoff, maybe, but new, and new counts. A second tank monitor had fallen off, because he could not get them to stay, which meant asking someone to install them properly. Insect screens for the vents, proactively. Tires that mostly looked fine except the one he physically could not reach since the extender came out, which meant a pressure he could not verify. The slide making a horrible noise and coming in unevenly, one side struggling — also new. The power core with the arcing on it that a guy had already looked at and called fine, and which rswfire wanted looked at again, by someone else, because he wanted a second opinion. A loosened speaker. Roof seals. A sag on the interior of the air conditioner. Solar panels he wanted clamped so he could stop breaking them down every move. AC vents with a smell he had tried to reach himself and stopped short of, unwilling to spray solvent near wiring he could not see clearly. Two shops to visit — the dealership-style operation and the independent place he had passed the day before, the one that looked established, the one that might be exactly who you want to talk to. Camping World, named and excluded.

The day sorted itself as he spoke it: go to both, present the list, get estimates on time and cost. He had already made a long list on Patreon before this morning added its own entries, and the new ones were related to the old ones, and he said, without irony, that he thrives on this sort of thing. The morning had rearranged his plan and he adapted the plan and the plan was now to do all of it.

He had been sitting on the far side of the RV, the side with nobody on it. He watched the neighbors dump their tanks. He watched them break down their site. He watched them pull out, and then that stretch of the loop was empty, and he registered it in his body immediately — a huge lift off my shoulders. He said he knew it read as strange. He said it was not antisocial. He said he does better alone, unobserved, that it is freedom to him, liberation, and that this is precisely why he goes to the effort of finding places where he can be on his own and why he has built this entire lifestyle to match his environment to what works for him. The battery had drained, the bay was sagging, the slide was grinding, and the list had grown all morning. He sat at a picnic bench on an empty side of a campground with the whole day's repair itinerary in front of him and said it was going to be a good day.

Summary

rswfire wakes to an unidentified alarm in the RV and traces it to a tire pressure monitor left plugged into an always-on 12V outlet, which has been drawing from the chassis battery since arrival. He runs the engine for 30 minutes on AI guidance, locates the hood release after extended trial, and finds he cannot access the battery terminals without star-head screws — deferring the voltage check to a shop.

He states he is frustrated, disappointed, and discouraged about the hour-long video posted the prior night: 3,500 views, 25 watches, one like, ~7 minutes average view duration, uploaded near midnight to a largely unsubscribed overseas audience. He notes hours of multi-camera editing and states he needs the format to work or he will stop investing in it.

He then walks the exterior and inventories mechanical items for a repair visit:

Storage bay sagging under jack/leveling gear
Water appearing on the awning, possibly A/C condensate
A second tank monitor fallen off; loose exterior speaker
Slide operating unevenly with noise; unreachable tire; prior arcing at a power core he wants re-inspected
Roof resealing, A/C vent odor, solar panel clamping

He decides to visit two RV repair businesses rather than Camping World for estimates. Neighboring campers depart; he states he loves solitude and dislikes feeling observed, and that being alone lifts his internal state. He plans the day around completing the maintenance list.

Environment

Recorded on and around rswfire's Class A RV at a campsite where he has been parked since Wednesday, filmed across an early Monday morning into midday. The signal moves from inside the sleeping area — woken by an alarm tone from a monitoring device — to the cab and engine bay, then outside along the exterior of the rig.

The exterior segments cover the storage bay, awning, tank monitors, tires, slide-out, roof-mounted air conditioner, and solar array. He is on shore power at the site. The final stretch is on the far side of the RV at a picnic bench, after the neighboring occupants dump their tanks and vacate, leaving that side of the loop unoccupied. Referenced but not yet visited: two nearby RV repair shops, one a dealership-style operation and one an established independent business he passed the previous day; Camping World is named as excluded.

Substrate

The architecture being held is that of a systems thinker meeting a domain where his existing expertise does not transfer — he states plainly that he is a programmer who has never worked on a vehicle, and treats the gap as a learning surface rather than a deficiency. He runs the same method he would run on any unfamiliar system: identify the fault, query for procedure, test, escalate to specialists when the interface is beyond his tooling, and convert every finding into an enumerated list. Running parallel to this is a load-bearing statement about environmental fit — that solitude is not withdrawal but the condition under which his internal state stabilizes, and that he structures his entire living arrangement to produce it.

Entities

beings

rswfire — Author of the signal; documents the morning's diagnostics and his own assessment of the channel.

neighboring campers — Dump their tanks and depart; their departure leaves the site's far side unoccupied.

places

RV repair shops — Two candidates — a dealer-style operation and an independent business; both to be visited for estimates.

systems

the RV — The living platform and the object under diagnosis; owned six months, source of every fault enumerated.

chassis battery — Drained by an always-on 12V outlet; the initiating fault of the signal.

12V outlet — Two variants — always-on and engine-switched; the distinction is the root cause he identifies.

AI — Consulted repeatedly as a procedural reference for engine runtime, battery testing, and hood operation.

Camping World — Named explicitly as a service option he excludes.

slide-out — Extending unevenly with noise; flagged as a new fault.

solar array — Currently removable and stowed before each move; he wants it permanently clamped.

media

tire pressure monitor — The device left plugged into the always-on outlet; its low-power alarm woke him.

multimeter — Retrieved to test battery voltage; unusable because the terminals sit behind a screwed panel.

YouTube channel — The hour-long video's performance metrics are the subject of the signal's second thread.

Patreon — Where he previously posted the maintenance task list this signal expands.

Ontological States

Expressed modes of being or awareness.

sovereign (structures living arrangement explicitly to produce environmental conditions that work for him)

unpracticed (states directly that vehicle mechanics are a domain he has never entered)

diagnostic (running fault identification across a dozen subsystems in sequence)

evaluative (measuring the channel against a stated threshold of viability and naming the give-up condition)

at ease (registers the emptied campsite as a direct lift in internal state)

Engaged Subsystems

Architecture engaged in this transmission.

infrastructural (RV as the load-bearing platform; every fault touches habitability or mobility)

electrical (chassis battery, 12V circuits, fuses, arcing power core, solar array)

mechanical (engine bay, slide-out, tires, storage bay, awning, roof seals)

cognitive (transfers a programmer's fault-isolation method into an unfamiliar physical domain)

somatic (registers the neighbors' departure as a measurable change in internal state)

economic (channel viability, service estimates, Patreon, cost-and-time constraints)

media-production (multi-camera filming, day-long edits, upload timing constrained by connectivity)

logistical (converting findings into a task list and sequencing the day around shop visits)

Narrative

Mirror

You wake to a tone you don't recognize and immediately begin isolating it. Within minutes you have identified the source — a tire monitor left plugged into an always-on 12V port — named the fault, named the correct port you should have used, and filed the correction as a line item. You do not know the name of the port while you are saying it. You say so, out loud, twice, and keep moving. The method does not wait for the vocabulary to arrive.

You state that you are a programmer and have never worked on a vehicle. You say this while holding a multimeter you are not sure is the right instrument, standing in front of a hood you cannot open, looking at an engine bay where you cannot locate the battery. You query, you test, you escalate. When the chassis battery terminals turn out to be behind star-head screws, you stop, name the tool gap, and hand the task to the shop rather than force it. That is the same decision structure you would run on any system where the interface exceeds your tooling. The domain is unfamiliar. The procedure is not.

Mid-signal, the register drops. You are looking at overnight analytics — 3,500 impressions, 25 watches, one like, seven minutes average duration on an hour-long edit — and you account for every variable that would explain it: upload time you don't control, unsubscribed audience, foreign time zones, length. Then you say the part the variables don't cover. You state that you feel disappointed, frustrated, and discouraged. You state that you need this to work, and that if it doesn't work you need to give up on it. You name the threshold without softening it and without arguing yourself out of it. Then the signal returns to the fault list.

The list is what you build. Storage bay collapsing under the weight of jack stands. Water on the awning that you have not seen before. A second tank monitor detached. A tire you cannot reach because the extender was removed. A slide moving unevenly and making noise on one side. A power core with arcing that a technician already cleared and that you want a second opinion on anyway. A loose speaker. Sag at the roof air conditioner. Solar you want clamped down permanently. Vents you tried to clean and stopped because of the wiring. Two shops to visit, one dealership-style, one independent, and one — Camping World — excluded by name before the day begins. Twelve subsystems enumerated in sequence, each one converted from observation to task, the day resequenced around the list.

The neighbors dump their tanks and leave. You register it in the body before you explain it: a lift off your shoulders, immediate, measurable. You say the side of the loop is empty now, that you have the picnic bench, that this is why you built the arrangement this way. You state that solitude is not antisocial, that being unobserved is freedom, that you structure your environment to produce this condition because it dramatically influences your internal state. You say you know most people don't work this way. You do not qualify it further.

What is present: an unfamiliar domain met with a transferable method, an economic threshold stated in plain terms, a dozen faults enumerated without triage anxiety, and an environmental condition arriving and being felt. What is absent: any account of how the systems fault reached this density, any framing of the not-knowing as failure, any resolution of the channel question, and any bridge between the discouragement and the ease. Both are stated. Neither cancels the other. The day proceeds as planned, adapted.
