Hi @missykay8346, here is the sponge holder. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VYZXCQ8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

@praxi1470, I installed an Oxygenics until to decrease the gallons/minute used. You can find several variations of the unit. Here is an Amazon link to a similar unit. a.co/d/48mMVfj

@mikejohnson7768. Yes, I made all my battery cables the same length. I followed Explorist.Life recommendations and made sure the fuse was very close by and well under 7”

@adaminjp, you definitely hear the fan when in bulk charging mode. For example, if I hook up to shore power after traveling for a few hours, the Multiplus will initiate bulk charging and the fan will run to keep the unit cool until it reaches float. If you have the air conditioner running, you won’t hear it but within no other noise, you will notice if for a while. I’ll have to measure the DB to see how loud it gets. It is enough to notice but not enough to bother me.

@marlonkilen6907, thanks so much for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback.

Seems like it is going into the fresh water tank?!

No, he sold his house and lives out of a airstreamer now.

Glad it was helpful!

Yes, the 10/2 cable travels from the inverter back to the main breaker on the panel. The AC is in a separate breaker in the panel. The GFCI outlets are on separate breaker and there have been no issues with that circuit so far.

Glad the video was useful and really appreciate the additional details for those with the 16. 😁

Glad it was helpful! It can be intimidating until you see the steps and do it a few times. Good luck.

@schmoonkie, so glad it worked well for you. Enjoy the camping.

Hi @Beth, here is a video that may be helpful for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6qYhGuMmJqCodk

@Jim, I sanitize at least twice a year. But, as an example, if I go camping in April and won’t go again until June, I’ll sanitize again before the June trip just to be safe. I’ll fill the tank the day before add the bleach and then rinse 2-3 times the next day before I leave. Hope that is helpful.

Glad it helped!

Hi Christophe, this sounds like a great plan. The water pump should provide more than sufficient water pressure to flush out the water lines for your dewinterization. Then dumping your tanks when you arrive at the campground would have you set for great adventures. Happy camping.

Hi EP, glad you like the videos. I avoid putting Clorox through the water heater based having read somewhere that it could cause problems long term. I keep the water heater isolated and will instead run vinegar through the water heater occasionally to clean out any scale. I assumed there is minimal water in the tankless system and very little need to clean the unit. I just flush it well with clean water. Hope that helps.

@@WayneBogan Perfect. Thanks! Going to dewinterize the 20x tomorrow in preparation for a trip for spring break.

@Mr Jimmy, thanks so much. Go Tigers!!!

Welcome aboard! Hope the videos are helpful and that you enjoy your Basecamp as much we do

You bet!

Hi @cdesaint, I'm glad the videos are helpful. As a baseline example, my Basecamp 20X came with two 80 amp hour AGM batteries and 180 watts of solar. That equates to 160 amp hours but you can only take AGM batteries down to 50% which left me with 80 amp hours of usable capacity. In regards to power usage on your oxygen concentrator, I used a calculator from Explorist.Life as a quick view of power needed (www.explorist.life/what-size-of-solar-system-is-needed-to-power-a-camper/). 325 watts @ 120v for one hour would require approximately 27 amp hours of power. So you could essentially get about 2.5 hours of usage out of my AGM batteries. If you run the concentrator for 24 hours, you will need ~27 amp/hr * 24 hours = ~650 amp hours per day. The Lithium batteries I installed give me 800 amp hours of usable capacity. In that case, I could run the concentrator for one day. So in either case, you will need generator to supplement the batteries. A Honda EU2200 would have more than enough power to recharge your batteries and will run ~3 - ~8 hours based on load. A lighter load of just the concentrator could probably get you closer to 7-8 hours. A larger generator like the Honda Eu3000is has a larger gas tank and can run ~7 to ~19 hours. This would be a better option for ensuring consistent performance and fewer times you have to run the generator. The 3000 watt generator could more quickly recharge the batteries and minimize any downtime. Hope this is helpful. Let me know if we need to get on a call to get into further details.

Hi @EP, yes, I purchased the 500amp shunt and it is more than enough for the Basecamp solution. I do have a tendency to go over board on the solutions. haha.

@@WayneBogan Me again, sorry. The shunt has a 3/8” lug. Did you have to drill out the existing negative wire going to the buss bar in the Basecamp? Just curious. Also, are the lugs on top of the battery cover the same as the Battleborns (5/16”)? Thanks for your help.

Hi @Key, our builder installed the insulation when the house was built. Yes, I've been pleased that it has helped to keep the floors warmer in the winter.

Glad to. Hope it helped.

Hope it was helpful.

Glad to help.

You're so welcome!

Great advice. Hopefully enough people do that and there is sufficient pressure to resolve the issue as a whole.

Great, hope it is useful for you.

Hi Erick, I actually did the same this year as a test. The Suburban manual says it is up to the manufacturer. The only concern I have is making sure the unit doesn’t go into freeze protection when with propane on and burn the antifreeze in the line. I pulled the fuse to prevent this. Thanks for confirmation

@@WayneBogan Thanks. Great tip on the pulling the fuse. Just winterized after our last trip and it got cold as we were traveling and I noticed the hot water heater running when we stopped. I thought something was wrong until I read up on the freeze protection.

Hi Wayne. What fuse do I pull to prevent the hot water heater from going into freeze protection if I run antifreeze through it? Is it a shared fuse that will prevent me from running the furnace during the winter? I followed the compressed air method video from SlowYourRoll to blow out the water lines followed by this video with RV antifreeze last year and I still ended up with a broken water heater when I de-winterized it this spring. The dealership told me I did something wrong to cause freeze damage when I told them I followed both videos step-by-step and there should be no way of that happening. They told me that I should leave the hot water tank valve open but it seems very odd to me that Airstream provides scan codes throughout my 2022 Basecamp 20X for basic things like installing the tables but conveniently leaves out something as critical as proper step-by-step winterization to prevent this from happening.

@Phil, glad the video was helpful. Unfortunately, I haven’t found a way to connect to the battery BMS at this point. It would be great but all is working well without it.

Currently the tow vehicle charging isnt working. When I eventually upgrade to a truck I plan to install the correct converter to handle the 24v charge to the batteries

Haha. Glad you enjoyed the video and got a good laugh from my mistakes. So hope Clemson can make it to the playoffs.

Yes, they could be removed pretty easy if needed.

not a good idea. keep them sealed all year

​@bryanmann6756 how does moisture and humidity get removed in summer? Curious as I have vents in my crawl space that do not close...and wanted to seal them up (northern Ohio if that matters)

For the grey and black tanks, I just leave the little water that entered the grey and black tanks and don't worry about dumping again. There is some antifreeze that goes into the grey tank as you add antifreeze to the sink drain and even more that goes into the black tank as you flush the toilet to get the antifreeze through the lines.

@@WayneBogan Thanks! Do you plan to hold office hours again? I found them very helpful as we waited for delivery of our 2023 Basecamp 20x.

@Erick, I'd be glad to host another office hours if there is interest. I know another member of the Basecamp Facebook group hosted a similar session a few weeks ago. If you can post in the Facebook group suggesting another session, we can gauge the interest and find a time to host another session.
