This is one of the best accessory BC videos! Thank you!

[@jasonborup]

So we pretty much ordered line by line. Keep it up GOAT basecamp 20x. My entertainment center is on point..pics coming.

[@mena580]

New sub! Great set up! My favs are the rug, the moonshade and love, love that cocktail shaker!

[@whitleyrobertson7070]

Just received a moon shade, looking forward to using it on my BC16. Your setup is streamline and easy to care for. Thx

[@kenpoultonjr]

Great channel, appreciate all the info.

[@flyontop]

Great video! I finally pulled the trigger on a 20X yesterday and I am very exited. You have lots of good info in your videos. Thank you!

[@mikeeeeee555]

What did it cost you out the door? I’ve just started my research on the 20x, liking it so far?

[@flyontop]

@@mikeeeeee555 58K with all the options… 😳😳😳… I am sure I could have gotten a better deal somewhere else but that’s what the wife wanted. I was told by the salesman that the basecamp has become Airstream’s best seller. Don’t really know how true that is.

[@MrBooricua]

great info and great video battle

[@jellybryce7742]

good reviews thx.

[@cathytaylor7708]

How are you attaching the moon shade to the base camp? I have a small travel trailer but I don’t have a Kedar rail

[@SlowYourRoll]

They make a bolt for the Basecamp specific rail. The shade comes with suction cups and I believe magnets are available as well.

[@texanusa111]

Does the generator start and run the ac unit? Do you have soft start on ac unit?

[@scottdanton1004]

I can see the product link for the propane quick connect hose, but I did not see a link for the connector to use the blackstone. On the generator, can you run the AC off the generator? Approximately how long of a runtime do you get? (I know runtime depends on load) just wondering estimates. Great gear choices.

[@SlowYourRoll]

It comes as one unit. See link a.co/d/faE0erp. Yes the generator ran the AC unit. Averaged 4-6 hours depending on temperature and electrical connections.

[@scottdanton1004]

@@SlowYourRoll thank you for the link. Do you have any issues with the moon shade dripping water around the door? I know it is not connected to the keder rail other than by a eyebolt. Just wondering how water flows off of it.

[@ryanhogan5958]

@@scottdanton1004 No as long as you use the pole that runs parallel to the carabiners it will stay taught.

[@PJ-gp2hj]

Did you remove the cooktop inside? If so, did you cap the line or remove completely ? Only use mine to boil water.

[@SlowYourRoll]

No we kept the cooktop.

[@erickphillips8507]

Question, did you use the same 2 propane hoses for both the Outland Firebowl and the Blackstone grill? I’m good to go with Blackstone using the links you provided but I think the firebowl requires a hose with a different fitting at the firebowl.

[@SlowYourRoll]

You will have to purchase a quick connect hose for the fire bowl and a Y quick connect splitter for the Basecamp to run both off the propane service. I tried searching my previous orders on Amazon but couldn’t find the one I ordered. It’s pretty easy to locate.

[@jasonborup]

I am picking up our basecamp 20X tomorrow!!!! So excited!. Your channel has been great!!! We have the Toyota TRD Pro as well. Are you using a stabilizer hitch to tow with?

[@SlowYourRoll]

Wow congrats! What’s your first destination? We do not use a stabilizer hitch. I don’t think they are compatible with the bolt on hitch but I could be wrong. Either way we’ve been towing for a year, most recently with 40mph gusts and haven’t had an issue.

[@jasonborup]

@@SlowYourRoll We picked it up in Spokane, WA and went directly to lake Pend Orielle and SandPoint, ID. Absolutely gorgeous! Toyota Pulled it like a champ, no sway at all... Sure glad I didn't blow $1,000 on the stabilizer hitch!

[@SlowYourRoll]

@@jasonborup Awesome! PNW is on the list of destinations.

[@erickphillips8507]

On our second trip with the Basecamp and things are going pretty smooth (aside with some problems with our hot water heater that was beyond frustrating but that’s another story). Currently camping in Myrtle Beach. Thanks for the wealth of information. I purchased almost everything you suggested and it has worked great. Question, for the Moonshade, did you just remove the plastic trim piece altogether or did you trim it and put it back once the anchors were in place?

[@SlowYourRoll]

Hey brother. I had every intention of trimming it to fit between the bolts but never but it back in. Not hard to do but for me became out of sight out of mind.

[@erickphillips8507]

Another question, sorry. Does your Outland firebowl use a lot of propane? I guess for a standard 1 week camping trip and using it every night for a couple hours does it run out?

[@SlowYourRoll]

No it doesn’t use much. I don’t have an hourly estimate but that’s really due to the face that a full tank of propane lasts a while. Here’s a link to the shower head. Your original post disappeared Oxygenics 26488 BodySpa RV Handheld Shower a.co/d/fwflzah

[@erickphillips8507]

@@SlowYourRoll Thanks. Already bought the shower head and am just going to replace it right away. Lol

[@Southtownkc]

What size moonshade is that?

[@SlowYourRoll]

It’s the original 7X9’

[@edtordahl]

Dude, add some links for the items shown. Understood you're not as much endorsing them, but showing what's out there that you "prefer". Links would make it a tad easier. Thanks, and keep up the great work. "Silversides" 20X

Done.

[@erickphillips8507]

We just placed an order for a 2023 20x. Awesome info. The salesperson said the 2023’s now come with 300w of solar. Would you recommend upgrading to lithium right away or use it for a while to see your power needs? It’s a $3000 upgrade so just making sure it’s worth it. Thx!

[@SlowYourRoll]

That’s a great upgrade! I thought it was odd they didn’t just use all three outlets since you can’t mix panels. If you are going off grid for most of your trips I would go with lithium. Is it still 2 batteries or 3? 3K sounds a bit pricey for 2 batteries as they run about $900 per. If that’s the case I would do the upgrade yourself.

[@erickphillips8507]

@@SlowYourRoll I'm not sure how many batteries it is to be honest. I'll ask. I'm fairly handy so is the upgrade pretty easy? Obviously I can search you tube and find out I guess. :) Thanks for all of your videos!

[@shekharmoona544]

Why not a Zero Water Filter instead?

[@SlowYourRoll]

A good comparison chart: www.berkeyfilters.com/pages/berkey-vs-zerowater-filters. Most filters seem cost effective at the start but over the life exceed the cost of a Berkey and replacement filters.
