I have a switch to turn the front led lights on but I would like to wire in a wireless relay or somehow connect the front to the awning leds that are controlled with my cell phone through the on-command unit. Have you tried this?

This seems like a really great floor plan for a couple. I’ve only viewed this camper online and KZbin. If I have a 2023/2024 F150 5.0 V8, how would this tow or would I need more like a F250? Would a weight distribution hitch and sway control be mandatory with the F150 V8? Thanks

I think you truck could handle this just fine if you had a WD hitch. I have a 2014 F-150 with the V8. We used it to tow our Imagine 2400BH which is a bit bigger than the 22MLE and had no issues.

We did 4 night minimum with 2 days between rentals based on your recommendations. We have had really good renters hope it stays that way. Your channel helped use make the leap, thanks. 😊

I don’t know if I’m missing something, but I don’t understand how this makes dumping any easier. You still have to empty your tanks into a portable tank if you’re boondocking. Is it just so people can empty their tanks at home if they don’t have a sewer clean out nearby? I think I would be leery of running a hose through my house so I could dump into my toilet. 😳
@DriveNorth
@DriveNorth 21 күн бұрын
For boondocking, it's nice that you can pump into a portable tank that is higher than your dump valve, like if the tank was in the back of your truck. It's great for us as we rent out our RV and sometimes renters bring back the rig not fully emptied. Now I don't have to hook up and drive to a dump station. I was leery too of running a hose through my house, but it is a surprisingly mess/odor free process.

Thanks! Really learning a ton from your videos as I consider renting out my toy hauler. Question, Could you have denied the rental at the time of pick-up?
@DriveNorth
@DriveNorth 21 күн бұрын
That's a great question and I don't a definitive answer. If they didn't have a pre approved driver or vehicle that wasn't capable of towing the rig, I suppose. Otherwise if they haven't violated any policy yet I think you are obligated to honor the booking. I'm not sure what would happen if you denied the renter at pickup, perhaps the platform could suspend your account?

I think there are pros and cons to both. A newer RV is more appealing to rent and broaden your customer base, but the higher payment take a hit on your profits. The first two RV we rented we bought new, but we got them pre-covid when there were actual deals to be made. Our current rig we bought over a year ago and it's used.

Came across your channel as we also have a 1.5 year old pup from the same place you guys picked your pup from. Looks like the pup is doing great too. Our pups are featured at the end of our videos (they have become a fan favorite to the channel too 😊). You were camping somewhat close to us here. We are in Grand Rapids, MN. I'm a graduate of BSU and we owned businesses in Bemidji for years also. Will be checking out your channel more. Our Schnoodle we got from the same place is Miley. She is a hoot. We also have our wonderful Mini Schnauzer Luna the Super Puppy. Luna is from another breeder in southern MN who has now retired. Both pups are wonderful 😊. Take care.

Awesome tutorial! We just bough our 2400BH and I have a quick question, the front water controls you briefly covered the difference between the city water and fresh water selection. I understand the city water selection is with a water hook up at the camp site, but what is the fresh water selection for? Is that if I brought my own water in a tote or something? Thank you!
@DriveNorth
@DriveNorth Ай бұрын
Congrats on the new camper! I'm sure you will love it. Yes, the fresh water is for filling up the onboard "potable" tank. We used that for when the campsite doesn't have a water hookup. Best not to travel with a full tank, so we fill up when we get to our destination. I also use a flow meter on the hose so I can gauge where I'm at in the fill up process.

We rent 2 campers out ourselves and have noticed that we really don't get much cold traffic from the major rental websites. Most of our 20 + rentals we have are all self generated. Do you get most of your own rentals or mainly from random people off the major rental sites.

That interesting, it is quite the opposite from us. Before we switched from a bunkhouse to a couple's camper, we did get a lot of repeat business, but almost all our rentals come from the platforms. Are you using Facebook market place, craig's list, word of mouth??

@DriveNorth we are in many local facebook groups that we make postings in on the days they allow small business promoting, some facebook marketplace, and then repeat/word of mouth.

Did you factor this into your Return in Investment?

We do the maintenance check up ourselves. It would be hundreds of dollars to have a shop do. I had a local shop that wanted $250 an axle to do an inspection and grease the bearings. I just do it myself and document it.
