Resurrecting Dinosaurs - Our RV Modifications and Technology

[@gonewiththewynns]

Hello Everyone and thanks so much for the wonderful feedback. I'll do my best to answer the few common questions in the comments but if you want more detailed info PLEASE click over to the site where you'll find pricing, links, etc. www.gonewiththewynns.com/rv-modifications-technology Installer - We had all of our mods done at the Fleetwood Factory Service center in Decatur IN, we did not attempt to tackle such a project on our own. Batteries - They are 9KWH or 700ah. Tilting Solar - Yes the panels are tightened down to the roof, I removed the bolts holding it down so I could quickly show they tilt without going into detail. Yes, it would be horrible to drive down the road with the panels "unscrewed". Chairs - The folding chairs Nikki is using come with the RV. Water leak - There is a small leak when I'm connected to a high pressure water line, we are getting it fixed...thanks for noticing :) Cats - yes those little guys are both camera hogs.

You two Rock!!! My wife and I are purchasing our second RV. 2017 Fleetwood Discovery 40G. We can see the changes in this years model and feel your work with them has helped shape this years coach. Thank you for you time and commitment. Enjoy the boating life!! Many thanks from Greg and Kate.

[@KennStearns]

Your perspectives continue to change the way we think about RVs. From tech mods and fuel efficiency to interior design and floor plans, we can only hope your work will help guide an industry that desperately needs a refresh. Manufacturers and their controversial dealers can benefit from listening to you and your followers. Consumers win when positive change happens as a result of your efforts. Thanks for valiantly trying to teach dinosaurs new tricks.

[@mudspringer]

Composting toilets are awesome! Best kept secret in the world. They *really* work. Even my DIY homemade one works with *zero* smell. Flush toilets are totally obsolete - just most people don't realize it. Great video thanks for posting.

[@noviceprepper53]

I don't know much about technology but I liked all those upgrades and could see and understand their value. Thanks for sharing.

[@geodiscobowl]

Awesome set up. The install looked very well thought out. Very neat and NO RATS NEST of wires! Back in 1999, when we started RVing, we used to rent Bounders. WHEW! Bounder has come a long way! The layout and color/fabric accents are very homey and inviting. I'm sure the market research will be overwhelmingly positive and we will see these upgrades as an optional package very soon.

[@duxgarnifex3678]

This is amazing and something to inspire. Thank you for making this. Parkinglots are not always the best destination and trying to get off grid enough to get away from that kind of space is a dream. Keep sharing.

[@markphillips8019]

I realise that this is an old post but I've recently come to your channel. As a radio ham with specific interest in Emergency Management I often find myself "off the grid" and in need of "shore power". Over the years I've tried pretty much the same things that you have installed into your RV's but I keep coming back to the same problem - efficiency. Whilst I applaud you for getting the latest gadgets to charge your batteries and batteries that are better at holding a charge etc, you are still throwing energy away by up-converting it to 110VAC (household current). Worse still, in many cases you are then down-converting the 110VAC into less volts such as 12VDC which you already started out with. For example, running your laptop by plugging it into the wall is a HUGE waste of power. It's taken you a fair few hours to collect all that power from the sun. You then convert that power up to 110VAC, plug in your laptop, and then convert the power back down to 19VDC. Along the way you have generated heat, lost watts through conversion inefficiencies and drawn more power than necessary to power your computer. One of the things I do not see littered around your RV is a 12VDC buss. While I agree that cigarette lighter outlets are not the prettiest of things to look at you'll at least be able to cut down your losses when you are off the grid.Take a closer look at your appliances. Your fridge will probably not run on 12VDC but you can get very respectable chargers for your laptops that can and every TV I own in my house has a 110-12V power supply. Finally, where's your wind generator? For stays of a few days or more, getting a pole up 30 feet with a 400W generator on it is trivial especially when you use the coach as a mast anchor. You'll then be able to generate power even in the lightest winds and you can make power at night. Good luck! Keep up the good work. You are doing something that the rest of us mortals can only dream about.

[@crisgaret]

These are some very exciting upgrades. I am glad these technologies (solar, lithium) are starting to get more affordable. It is only going to get better over the next few years. Me an my wife are getting ready to go full time in the next couple months, and your videos have been very inspirational for us. The wifi ranger and cell booster will be great for us as we both work from home via the internets.

[@0HARE]

Excellent Video! Y'all have really incorporated the most essential modifications for modern life. Super Solar & power management, lithium batteries, upgraded vents, cell phone & WiFi booster, great work stations, and the composting toilet! Plus, I didn't even know you could put a residential 'fridge into an RV! Thanks for all the great information. I will be working on adding these upgrades into our RV. Also, I love those kitties. Happy Trails!

[@dhqlax]

Such happy people good to see enjoying your life

[@TheMoreWeExplore]

Great overview, thanks for taking the time to do this. We really value your opinion as we design our dream RV.

[@sueg2658]

Love the upgrades, which are really necessary in this day and age. I noticed small water lead in shot of water pump at 4:30. Happy travels.

[@davidduckworth963]

Only just seen this and it's wonderful! I am having a Widebeam barge built (sort of a Dutch barge) to take over to Europe from my home in Manchester UK and your ideas inspire me! Thank you both very much. Dave D

[@cnypilot]

LITHIUMS! Fantastic!. Great to see you guys finally getting it. You have been thinking of it for a while. My Lithiums have been worry free for two years now. Full time off grid use.

[@smacdiesel]

Such high quality with your mods! If I were a full timer I would copy a lot of your changes, I'm very impressed with what you have done to improve your home. LOVE the colors and patterns inside!

[@p.shanevercammen3001]

I've done a bit RVing for many years, I really enjoy what you two do! Your so upbeat! Great job informing the public on some of the new technology / products out there and how to use them. I would like to see an entire roof done in an auto sun tracking tilt. I would also like to see expanding the battery pack even more and possibly doing a Chevy Volt type hybrid electric drive. Would cost a fortune to set up I'm sure, but should be possible. Keep those videos coming guys, great work!

[@paulmyatt7728]

Excellent Video, good ideas....Looking forward to more info on the Tech Side of the RV....I live full time in a 32' fifth wheel and love it....simple life, more fun.

[@waianaegal744]

OH MY... I want your upgrades... just installed in a smaller class c... the solar is such a wonderful way to go... NOW all I have to do is get my house sold and I can hit the road... Heading to your website to voice my opinion... thanks for the great videos!

[@j2tran77]

This is my 2nd favorite video of yours, so informative. The 1st being "The Day & Life" which I love. I wish you did more of those useful RV techs videos.

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Jack Tran We do lots on our site: www.gonewiththewynns.com/rvin

[@MrMarkCaudill]

That is all some pretty cool stuff and it is great to see what is available to get.

[@ProvidingResources]

Great video - as always :) I really appreciate your voice for change to the RV manufactures. The RV owner s of today need and want solar and better mobile access. We want to be connected all the time. Also I love the clean simple design of your RV. Those grandma patterns RV manufacturers choose for window treatments are horrible. Your RV interior design is simple and very residential for your size coach. I noticed water was leaking in your water pump shot. I could see it on the back wall and connection areas. Keep you the good working! Hopefully the industry will listen and change with the times.

[@fester.]

Thank you keep up the good work I only have a caravan here in the uk but love to watch your videos

[@GnatManAllinCoIronWorks]

Thank you,as always for sharing.The lithium batteries were the most exciting to me, and look forward to hearing about their life,amount of use while off wire,and cost overall compared to lead acid stinky cells.Oh, and too bad you are unable to get the cats in any shots,they just seem so shy. Thanks again,be safe, C-Ya!!,,,Peace!

[@clydealspaugh8701]

Well, I found this video and now I have to go watch the rest of the series about dinosaurs-LOL. I have a dinosaur of my own. A late 70's 22 foot class A that I use mostly for weekend boondocking. I'm looking forward to getting some great ideas about how to get the biggest bang out of my limited bucks. I also love that you RV with your cats. I'll check out your other videos and I hope to find one where you talk about the challenges of taking the cats with you. I'd like to take my cats along, but I worry about them getting heat stressed when I boondock and can't run the A/C as I have no generator. (soon to be purchased) Thanks for making a great series of videos about RV living.

[@gonewiththewynns]

Sure! www.gonewiththewynns.com/traveling-cats You don't say where you're located and where you're camping, but your cats' health and safety should always come first! Cats are better at tolerating higher temps (within reason) than dogs, but you shouldn't take them if you'll be camping in really hot conditions.

[@clydealspaugh8701]

I'm usually within about 40 miles of home and then only for a few days. (less than a week) That won't have much bearing on the cats though. In the early and mid season temps hover in the 70's and 80's. Later in the season, temps can often climb into the 90's. The humidity is also a factor. It tends to stay above 70% most days. Since I made my original comment, I have consulted a vet about the matter. During the early season, I can probably take the cats, but when the temps start to climb higher, it won't be safe for them so I'll have to leave them at home. Thanks and keep up the cool series of videos.

[@djajax5667]

Do the tilting solar panels lock down to the roof so they don't bang going down a bumpy road?

[@DavidSmith-bt6qe]

I like the battery change and the solar panel on the roof that tilt. Those should be a standard on all new RV's. I liked the new better water pump too. The one in my RV is just like you described and it is a noisy pain.

[@brucealanwilson4121]

Love to watch your furry supervisors.

[@Tnapvrvideo]

Congrats on great equipment selections and a gorgeous installation in all areas.I am particularly interested in the superb installation of the electronics underneath. The whole set up from the battery monitor to the Auto Gen Starter to the Inverter and the controllers inside the RV.[1] Who did you find that could do such a beautiful installation? [2] How, more importantly, does one go about locating someone who knows so many sophisticated and varied products to properly install all of them as a collective working system?[3] Did you send all of these upgrade and/or add-on products to the installer or did you bring them in person?AND, given this excellent "Resurrecting Dinosaurs" series on moving manufacturers closer to a custom design approach to purchasing an RV, can we approach Fleetwood as a new RV buyer and request that they credit us for the items that we would be replacing/upgrading versus paying for their installed items only to have them replaced with our own choices? (for example, let's say that we want a different Inverter than their stock item: can we receive a $ credit applied to the purchase price by telling them not to install their stock Inverter, and, instead, ask them to install the Inverter that we bring to them?Great Videos - thanks for all of the time and effort to produce such valuable and entertaining videos!!!

[@brandonfireking7655]

one of my main concerns with moving into an RV isnt the computer itself, but the internet! I wont be having tv since i watch all my tv on the internet, but i needed to figure out an internet connection. the wifi set up you have will probably be what i go with

[@mystq101]

Love the videos, very high standard of shooting and editing.

[@bug512]

Once again great video. I guess it comes down to what the masses want (and need), with most people using their RV's for only a couple weeks of the year their return on investment would not make sense. If you spend as much time in your RV as you do AND want to camp in remote locations then the modifications are well warranted. Here is my opinion. As a owner of a class A and in my mid 40's I think the manufacturers need to swing their attention to technology and away from tacky interior window valances! Or at lease offer technology packages when ordering. But thinking, I bet you would be better of having the upgrades like you had at a third party installer that is up on the latest trends in the technology. Safe travels to Alaska !

[@playirl]

You should keep the wi-fi box away from where you sleep, unless you just use your phone for wi-fi. She was funny lol

[@flacousa62]

Just curious, after watching a bunch of your videos curiosity got the best of me and this is my question. Tell me you don't have a 40' tractor trailer following your motorhome carrying Nikki's wardrobe, I have never seen her wear the same outfit twice, can you elaborate?

[@gonewiththewynns]

+flacousa62 nope, just the one tiny closet...she's a master of wearing things multiple times but making them look different :)

[@flyfliker]

Great add on devices. How do you like the gasoline engine? Is your gen gas as well? Jason hould dye his hair to match. Best RV videos on the planet!

[@steelyflyer]

You two are fierce!

[@raquelwesthouse8932]

Thanks for the great videos. Did you notice that it looks like your under sink water pipe is leaking?

[@snapper4u]

I would like to see removing the black tank replacing it with another water reservoir and more battery banks

[@LivinliteNet1]

Hey you guys may want to talk to Fleetwood about their claim that Samsung won't let you drill into the fridge. Our Entegra coach is all Samsung and it came with great locks installed from the factory.. Thanks for the great post!!

[@gonewiththewynns]

LivinLite.net Thanks for the heads up, that's interesting to hear.

[@LivinliteNet1]

Gone with the Wynns thanks guys, if you need pics of the locks just give a shout! Enjoy Alaska!

[@billjoyce]

If you go into cold weather, make sure those lithium batteries stay above 32 degrees F. Since our batteries are exposed, I use a terrarium heat mat with our lithium batteries hooked to a thermostatically controlled outlet A padded upside down U-shaped piece of wood will keep the Samsung freezer door from opening by going through the French doors.

[@rjahn3000]

I like all the upgrades and hopefully you will have a report on how well he residential fridge works during wild camping... thanks great video. I would certainly pay an extra 5 or 6k at the time of purchased for those upgrades, may have to get a new Bounder in 2017 :)

[@LAPGOCHINSTRUCTOR]

Great video - thanks for uploading

[@CITAP1]

Bet those lithium batteries weren't cheap. Nice set up on the WIFI and cell boster.

[@radondemos]

Love y'all, one day this'll be me and boo

[@sleim754]

I really liked the chair that Nikki was using. I googled "folding padded chairs" but was not able to find any that were as nice. Could you tell me the brand? Thanks. Love your vids.

[@stratman50th]

McKay Sleight Most coaches come with two fixed padded chairs and two folding matching chairs that can be stowed away when not in use. Since they appear to match the rest of the furniture my guess is that's what you're looking at. You could probably find them by contacting a manufacturer but everything that says "RV" on it is more expensive than it should be. Good luck on your search.

[@DWDinAtlanta]

McKay Sleight I could almost bet that chair was the spare from the dining table. We have 2 extra chairs for our RV that are very similar. I hope Nikki or Jason will correct me if I'm wrong.

[@roguerver9868]

McKay Sleight folding chairs are nice...for a while...but if you have to sit for a few hours, I hope the bottom part is excessively padded or your rear will not be happy! ;)

[@striveforselflessness3220]

I love the idea of the lithium batteries but holy moly are they reaaaaallly expensive. If money isn't a problem then that's the way to go. I'm gonna have to wait awhile til prices come down. Much like LED lights did. Really expensive at first but have become affordable for the average guy now. Nice job on the video and info. Thank you.

[@cherylynn927]

Great job and video...love it!

[@salostanley]

Great thanks for sharing!! Good stuff!! Blessings Salo

[@SachiWI]

It's Best to keep the Lithium cells inside the Coach in doing so you will be sure you are keeping them nice and comfy - Sure the pack can run at high temps BUT doing so will reduce their capacity - Look to Tesla they heat and cool the battery pack prior to charging depending on the pack temp - so if they set it up properly with a good BMS (Battery Managment System) it should monitor the pack for them and ballance charge it as well. They didn't go into any of this on their blog or video so if you are going to make the plunge into an Expensive Pack make sure you know what you get yourself into - they are NOTHING like Lead Acid

[@cocov33]

Love your new set! Did the whole solar setup come as a bundle? What company? I am looking forward to see how this setup works for you when you are in the wilds!

[@Berean490]

I haven't read EVERY comment so forgive if this has been asked and covered. Have you looked into SATCOM antenna receivers? If so how much? I mean, certainly through your Alaska trip you are learning of massive holes in coverage. For most that doesn't really matter but for traveling professionals, well it does. Just curious and if so, what were the costs? I have a bit of familiarity in this segment but more from the military side is the house, which is quite costly but it's the military so what do you expect?

[@skillit32]

Cool setup!

[@roguerver9868]

Love the increased solar panels! Quick question...how hard would it be to setup those roof panels to a motor that automatically move in the direction of the sun vs always having to get up on the roof and move them yourself?

[@ambersikorski5684]

What do you guys do for a living!?

[@Knoklsnedkr]

Didn't you move the batteries to curiosity? In that case - how are they holding up? Great channel, BTW. Miss the cats, though (2021)

[@Capturing-Memories]

You can get 6 times or more the power of lead acid batteries if you go with NCA 18650 cells battery pack (Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide - LiNiCoAlO2), Can be purchased as Tesla power wall.

[@simplemanrv8229]

Great Info. Thanks!!!

[@benningtoncamper2852]

I don't know who installed your Outback charge controller, but their manuals clearly say to install them upright. They aren't designed to have heat accumulate in the electronics in the orientation that yours is in...

[@gonewiththewynns]

Bennington Camper Thanks, we'll inquire about this and update when we film our next video on our setup.

[@thamarmanrique1502]

Love what you did ☺️

[@richardward4569]

The vents are great, but if it is 99 out side you can set the thermostat at 55 if you want and pretty soon it will be close to 99 inside. I guess the wi-fi booster is cool, but if there is no wi-fi in the boonies there's no wi-fi to boost. These are a couple of things, ac and wi-fi, that make an RV park nice. Oh and alot of nice people.

[@cintronf12]

I love that lever you added to the fridge, where can I get one and what is the part number? PS: we watch all your videos, great job keep up the awesome info 2015 Thor Miramar 32.1

[@bram315]

Great upgrades!

[@TheKentrr86]

Love It! Thank you.

[@LetsRVtv]

You went from the Magnum to Go Power. Was that because of what Fleetwood offers?

[@bert26a]

How will you keep warm in an Alaskan winter? Or will you be camping or boondocking where it's more mild like Juneau or Skagway?

[@police1184]

Hey Guys, love the videos. You talked about work space and working on the road. Do you guys have other jobs beside the video blog and your website?

[@thebestplace3573]

Hi... With all your great 12V gadgets, have you thought about wire gauge size? A long 12V wire can easily have a volt or two drop over 20 feet of run. Did you have any wiring size upgrades done as well? Like going from 12 gauge to 10 or 8? This could be a big power saver, like your tilted panels. 2 volts of loss is just like a small heater and wasting power. I had this exact problem with my Class C. Your thoughts would be appreciated. PS: Love your videos, Keep up the great work and quality. Thanks for inspiring us. ;)

[@Davidipac]

Why oh why will manufacturers continue to deprive us of these 21st century options as factory installation. You are the best. Please start a poll which could put the manufacturer up front. That's why Mercedes is at the top.

[@daikuone]

Please talk about the cost of inverters, lithium ion, and installation costs. Give us a ballpark!

[@MikeCris]

How will you secure the solar panels so they won't flip up while driving?

[@BigRed1200100]

You keep saying "we" installed. Some look to clean of an install for you both to have done the installs yourself. So how many did you actually install yourself and how many did the factory do for you?

[@JM-jo9dg]

Hi Nikki and Jason, we love your videos. What are your thoughts on the mid size vs. the large rv 45ft. Also since you have had both gas and diesel which do you prefer?

[@leonidassaber7335]

Can you guys make a video going into detail about the composting toilet? Tell us everything we need to know about what it does and how it works.

[@gonewiththewynns]

[@AuroraDarling24]

What do you two do about securing your RV (i.e. locks or windows) from intruders?

[@LisaMiller-sv4et]

I was wondering (ball park figure) how much more the solar system would cost?

[@fester.]

Great video in fact that good I'm going to copy we'll sort of so can I just ask are the panels 12 or 24 volt thanks

[@gonewiththewynns]

+fester Adams The RV specific kits are 12v. here's a link to our exact kit on Amazon: amzn.to/1N1t2cf

[@amped79]

Good video, I am surprised that being self proclaimed "wild campers" that you use a residential refrigerator instead of an RV 2way fridge. Yes you have a lot of solar but if its cloudy for a few days your batts much be drained to near nothing. How do you like the residential fridge vs an RV fridge running on propane?

[@gonewiththewynns]

+amped79 Many new RVs are being delivered with a residential fridge. We plan to share our experience in a video soon.

[@cfh1960]

Motorhomes, trucks, and cars have priced themselves out. Great time to buy real estate. For the price of a new motorhome I can buy a townhouse in florida.

[@Bobg425]

Why arnt the batteries in the same compartment as the inverter and solar control?Theres enough room,when building its simpler to have it all in there,less wiring etc.For maintenance its all in one place,wiring can be exposed and easy to get at,no wires running through bulkheads etc.

[@TWBrit]

still watching this, but I think the Canon is better video than the Sony #justsayin Ok, finished watching :) Great upgrades!! who did the masticing and cable management? ;) Can tell it's getting colder with the jumpers and footwear :-)

[@sapelesam]

Your roof is interesting, did Stevie Wonder do the sealant work?

[@TheRealGregKnight]

Is that a leak on the left side of the water pump? Looks a little wet.

[@theSoz]

The link in the video has a typo and take you to a 404 page. Second, is there a reason you pick these particular brands? I found a Wilson 4G Booster for about 50 bucks cheaper (than the one on your site) and I've heard great things about them.

[@jasonholguin4121]

I'm not an RV'er just yet but my wife and I are talking about looking for jobs where we can travel and work from home for her. I'm sorta medically retired so I can travel 24/7/365 with a nice income. I've checked out several RV Lifers and you seem to be the top on cool educational you should know before you go buy and I want to say Thank you. I'm a Licensed Professional Plumber so RV is a new way of life for m that I really wanna try. Can you inform my wife and I on what would be the best size RV to fit in some of the parks, diesel motor, cellphone and internet booster w/ good coverage, and biggest solar panel setup available for RV's, best state to register the rv as its home base for insurance and taxes we are currently in Texas until we sell our home. I'll take other opinions as well everything someone already experienced and overcame will help us prep for our traveling future....

[@sailingsolar]

What size battery bank do you now have ? It wasn't mentioned. Thanks.

[@justasojourner7391]

Ok awesome awesome technology. But by the time I purchase all this equipment - I could probably pay my house of and not have to foreclose..... eh.... but I can dream....right?

[@lass-inangeles7564]

I have questions about the Lithium batteries... 1. Did you have to change anything else to change over from Lead Acid to Lithium? 2. Is there such a thing as Deep Cycle Lithium batteries? 3. I understand you can only drain them 50% same as Lead Acid, else they don't fully recharge. You mentioned 90% drain? I bought 2 AGM Deep Cycle Lead Acid Batteries at 100 Amp Hour each. I still have the factory inverter in my Class C Tioga Montara. If I switched to Lithium, what other gizmo would I need to transition? If I added solar panels with an MPPT Charge Controller, and if I used Lithium batteries, would I have to get some extra gadgets to operate? I would want to get a Battery Monitor but it is not essential.

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Lass-in Angeles We dive in a little bit deeper on our site www.gonewiththewynns.com/rv-modifications-technology

[@lass-inangeles7564]

I have read that already, but it did not address these questions. No worries, I can research it further. It looks like lithium is working for you, and that is a big help to know with a pricey investment. I truly appreciate your blogs and videos! Not only to understand all components needed for most mods, but the seal of approval for what adds value and what does not. Many thanks!

[@Fisherguy01]

It looks like the input side of your water pump is leaking. The hose and fitting on the left of it is dripping water.

[@skpjoecoursegold366]

super upgrades.

[@gotbletu]

6:20 i want both of those devices, wifi booster/cell booster

[@mikesimons1544]

Wow. Instead of putting the batteries there, why not in the bay underneath the invertor ? Or add more batteries if solar is that intensive. Second, those solar panels do have a latch down right ? Too many cross winds would tilt those panels right off.

[@swimlikeafrog]

How much did all of those upgrades cost? or rather how much did each cost?

[@avader5]

Did you have Fleetwood do the custom updates or did you farm it out to a third party vendor?

[@flip4fam]

So jealous!! 😜

[@donnots8218]

what bms (battery management system) did you use for the lifepo4 batteries to make it work with the outback charge controller and magnum inverter

[@gonewiththewynns]

+Ray J So far so good!!! We will have a video update soon on a lot of this tech.

[@paulwicklund1052]

So when you were on the roof showing us the solar panels, I noticed the rain water puddleing on the slideout awning. Do you have to remove the puddle before you put the slideout in or will it roll up ok with out damage.

[@ianm432]

Paul Wicklund It will roll up just fine. The slideout awnings are great in every way except when the wind is really blowing. Mine are very loud in the wind on my 2015 Arctic Fox 35-5Z
