I believe every car on the road should have a dash cam! You guys covered some good ones on this 🙂

[@SuiteTravels]

Thanks Kit. We feel the same way. Hope you're doing well.

[@sherriweber7105]

That’s so cool that propane tray that slides out the propane tank. That’s a great way to have the tank come out so you can fill it. Easy Peasy as they say!

[@SuiteTravels]

Yes it is Sherri!

[@crphillips1120]

Hi from Western Washington. We are new to your channel and really enjoying your videos. Lots of great information and I like the views when you are going down the road. I really like your truck. I noticed when you were changing propane tank you almost hit your head on the slide out. I have seen stars when I hit my head on our slide out, so I took a 3-inch pool noodle and cut it about 16 inches long and cut it the middle with 2-45 degrees, when folded it to make a 90 corner. Sliced it open on the insides and stuck it on the corners. Don't forget to take it off when bringing the slide in. Safe and fun travels.

[@SuiteTravels]

Great advice C&R! I've got a few bumps to remind me to duck!

[@sherriweber7105]

I love that you Jim you are showing this Mopeka sensor for propane on how it works. I’m glad they have something like this to let you know of your tanks being low.

[@SuiteTravels]

They work great!

[@futrade1]

Very good, you give the vids and are teaching me during my pre rving full-time career. Again good job, travel safe.

[@SuiteTravels]

Glad you enjoyed it Ed. That's what we do....we share our experiences hoping to help others.

[@allanrgruendle1963]

Another great video folks I enjoyed it I hope you're having a good time out there stay safe have fun God bless

[@SuiteTravels]

We're having a blast Allan. Hope you're doing well and hope to see you soon!

[@akroadtripper6176]

Good to see you two doing well, thanks for the code for tire monitoring system, just ordered a kit. That was one thing I was going to have when we travel out of AK in June. Safe travels and look forward to the next video.

[@SuiteTravels]

Glad you found it useful. Safe travels!

[@kylemcfarlane107]

Hubby ordered the dash cam and the propane gauges. Thanks for the info 😊

[@SuiteTravels]

That's awesome Kyle!

[@mia2319]

JIm, If you have an open base to the LP tanks compartment, install a 8x10 plex piece as a false floor. You wont loose the sensor.

[@SuiteTravels]

Good advice Dan!

[@normgibson6565]

Love my Mopeka sensors been using them for 5+ years. I also love my TPMS and dash cam would not be with out them.

[@SuiteTravels]

That's awesome Norm....sounds like you've got it figured out!

[@michaelschuchert7716]

Great video where you get dash cam from get a link to it like your videos I hope everything’s going well for you

Jim, Just discoverd you can monitor the Mopeka sensors on the Victron Cerbo GX. On the main screen or remote (You're phone at 3am!)

[@SuiteTravels]

LOL...we did the same thing. It works awesome!

Great video. Tractor Supply finally got the New Empty 40lb Propane Clys in stock. I bought 2 last week for spares. $149.00 ea. $58.00 to fill up. (Both).

[@SuiteTravels]

Thanks Steve! Hope you have a great weekend...

I bought the same sensors about 3 months ago,,, I agree they work great

[@SuiteTravels]

We've been very happy with ours too Tony. Have a great week!

[@sherriweber7105]

That mattress does look comfy. Glad you like it. And it’s made in America. Hope you both have a great weekend.

Thanks Sherri. Hope you have a wonderful weekend as well.

[@camperbum]

Howdy, gotta say, I've had my Mopekas for 3 years now, their awesome, my propane guy has tested out how accurate they are, about 1% Off which is ok with me, they've worked great here in the Ozarks. I have everything you do but the Camara's, and now I know more about them, thanks, oh yeah it's been in the 70's here for the last few day's lol.

[@SuiteTravels]

That's awesome Dave. Sounds like it's about time to get out and camp!

[@camperbum]

@@SuiteTravels planned trip for the end of March, week in Arkansas on Bull Shoals lake (Lakeview Campground). If you 2 ever find yourself back this way, we have big lot we own across from our house, I used to park my truck on when I was in town, so I know you will fit. I can't wait to go to Q again, it great meeting all of you...

[@stephentalley5379]

Another great Video and that camera sounds good I don't have a rv but I could put on my car

[@SuiteTravels]

Thanks Stephen. We use the camera in our car and it works flawless...everyone should have one!

[@kylemcfarlane107]

Your videos always give us such great information. Definitely considering the mattress for our next RV (yes already planning for our next one) and the propane tank sensors and dash cam before we hit the road full time in April.

[@SuiteTravels]

You won't regret it Kyle! Oh....and April is almost here!!

Jim I forgot to mention to you a big thank for these great ideas. They are great upgrades some I didn’t know about which is I’m glad you did a video on this. I never new about the shunt and how it worked with batteries. Thus us awesome to know. I love that tire monitor as well. I’m so glad you both were ok from your tire issue. That’s why I that tire monitor. I like the dash cam too! Seems like a great idea to use like in the insistence you talked about with that women at Walmart with your friend. Thank you for this video.

[@leeabel5948]

Excellent vid thank you for keeping us informed on some of the must haves list !

Glad you enjoyed it Lee! We think every RVer should have these. Thanks for coming along.

My propane ran out at precisely 6:35 a.m., 5 minutes after I woke up this morning. I was so thankful it wasn't 3am

[@SuiteTravels]

😂 It's funny how that happens Kody!

[@dianeelkins3157]

Thanks!

[@heiser252]

A good friend in Quartzsite??? 😉

[@SuiteTravels]

LOL....yup! See you soon.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Hmmm....that's the same make dash cam that we have in Voyager (different model). We really like it. When we had metal LP tanks, I tried the tank monitor systems but they weren't very reliable 4 years ago. I guess Mopeak has improved which is good. Our composite tanks won't work though! Oh, well....Hope you're enjoying Yuma. What are your summer plans? Hope to see you on the road. Aloha

[@SuiteTravels]

Mopeka has come a long way with the development of sensors. They really work well. Headed north to the Pacific NW this summer. Safe travels to you guys.

[@johnlynch78]

Mopeka does indeed have a solution for composite tanks 🥤

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

@@johnlynch78 really? I'll look into that product. I thought it was only for metal tanks. Thank you. 😊

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Good show guys. What are your typical monthly propane costs? Maybe Sept thru April... Thanks in advance 👍

[@SuiteTravels]

Thanks Kevin. It really depends on whether we're boondocking or not. If we're in a full hookup site, then we use our heat pumps on electric. If we were using our propane furnace for the whole month, we'd have to guess about $45 a month during the cold months of December through February.

[@georgemiller9713]

Just wondering, how could you afford all this I'm glad for you had to be a big sacrifice for freedom your friend, George

[@SuiteTravels]

Not sure what you're trying to say here George, but we sold our home and tried to be smart with our money. We live on a very strict budget and don't go into debt. We love this lifestyle and don't regret any of it.

[@nickhildabridle1612]

George. They were "Weird" like a certain guy who talks about baby steps. They sacrificed certain things like debt, interest, and frivolous expenditures so they can live like no one else. As he said they sold their home and they do a WRITTEN BUDGET. They are financially responsive and THAT is how they afford their lifestyle. Had you looked thru their video list, you would have seen their previous video that actually answered this very volatile question. Hopefully this helps you George to understand the sacrifices that must be made to live this lifestyle. Have a nice day.

[@stevenclark7262]

Jim, I thought that the propane tanks would change over automatically when one is empty? 🇨🇦

[@SuiteTravels]

We can set the regulator in the middle, allowing both tanks to work. But it you set it like that then you will empty both tanks without notification and end up without any propane. That's why we set it on one. When it empties we know we need to get more and we still have propane in #2.

[@gorvlivin]

#6 RCBS Turret Press 😮

[@johnsanford4569]

How many watts of solar panels do you have?

[@SuiteTravels]

We have a little over 1600 watts on the roof John. Thanks for coming along!

[@johnsanford4569]

​@@SuiteTravels Ordered our 40kssb4 thru RR. Build date start is 3/27. Looking to get solar and internet systems done right away before the flex Armour roof is done. Considering two or three 300ah enduropower lithium batteries to start. Not sure about panels yet. What brand are you using? Thank you.

[@geoffreeves7000]

What brand of tire pressure monitor system do you use?

[@SuiteTravels]

We have had the EEZ RV system for a number of years.

[@roberto.peterson9917]

been thinking of adding a dual propane tank auto switch over lol lol only run out of propane like 2:30 am when wet or snowing to switch over to full tank my concern is so it automatically switch from empty to full tank how do you know untill both tank are empty would like so kind of notification when that happens so i can get the empty one refilled

[@SuiteTravels]

These Mopeka sensors work very well, but there's no way to set an alarm. They must be monitored.

[@pamgarrett930]

Where did you get your webb afb shirt that you had a tonight show my husband lived being the air bass in the 70 can I have a link to it

[@larryschultz2376]

does the dash cam have a rechargeable battery or must it be plugged in all the time?

No battery in it Larry, just the power cord. You can hard-wire it into your 12V system a parking sensor.

@@SuiteTravels ok thanks

👍

[@SuiteTravels]

Thanks!

[@reddawg9400]

Don’t you have both tanks open so you don’t run out? The gauge will turn red when it’s empty

[@SuiteTravels]

That's the problem with leaving both tanks open. If you don't pay attention both tanks will run out and you'll be out of heat until you can refill. For that reason we leave one open and when it runs out we still have a full tank until we get time to fill the empty.

[@reddawg9400]

@@SuiteTravels Unless it’s a different setup if the lever is pointed at one tank that is the one it uses from. When it runs out it automatically switches to full tank and indicator shows red. You can pull tank off without shutting anything off

I bought the Viofo A119v3 and it appears that it doesn't have a wifi connection with an android phone. Can you download or watch what was recorded on your phone?

I don't think so Larry. We pull the SD card out at the end of the day and transfer the files to our computer.

Hi my friends ❤

Hello!

[@Justthe2ofUs843]

Be careful with a dash cam. If the incident happens to be your fault and you decide to delete the video, but if the other party saw you had a dash cam and demands to see the footage, you can be accused of destroying evidence. According to Steve Lehto attorney.

[@SuiteTravels]

The dashcam is a necessity nowadays. Not sure why anyone would delete footage if they were at fault...we certainly wouldn't.

[@Justthe2ofUs843]

@@SuiteTravels not everyone in honest and responsible. Some people will hide their fault. That's what I was referring to.
