I have the same coach you have, and this past year i changed out the Nor cold Fridge with a 12 volt fridge, and what a saving on power, and propane. best MOD we ever did to our coach

I coil my hoses so that my ends meet and I can connect the ends to keep debris out

We love the pool noodles on the slides. We have a couple for our slides but not as neatly done as yours. I'm saving this video for next spring when we take he RV out of winter storage- mostly for the dash mounts you're using.

I'm only 8 minutes into this video and paused to go purchase a Gorilla water hose quick connect! My T@B 400 Nautilus water control system is awesome, but the angle of the hose coming up from underneath makes twist connect/disconnect a challenge. THANK YOU! And now, back to the video...

You can also use a short hose that you leave connected to bring that junction to an easier place. Not to mention less wear and tear on the rv end of the hose.

The water flow meter is handy in staying under GVWR. Water is heavy and my class C is limited. So only enough to get to the next hookups. The meter got me at the right gallon amount.

I have a smaller RV with only a 10 gallon onboard propane tank. Since it's sometimes difficult to find a propane dealer, I installed a valve and a quick connect underneath the RV so I can leave my onboard tank full and just run everything inside using a barbecue cylinder sitting on the ground next to the RV. When that's not practical, I use the onboard tank, but this way I never really have to fill it till I get home. The barbecue cylinders are easy to exchange nationwide because so many grocery and hardware stores offer them in those familiar cages out in front of their stores.

Hey! I totally get how it might look that way, but we’re definitely just an average middle-class family. We’re super intentional with our spending and try to be as frugal as possible so we can prioritize things that matter most to us-like our RV adventures and DIY projects. It’s all about finding that balance and making the most of what we have! Thanks for watching and being part of the journey!

I only use unique products for my RV and I use a brush mop to clean my rv toilet. I after a few years found out that I have a black tank flush out which fixed my odor issue and hopefully no pyramid issues as I have been using it

We had a 35’ Winnebago Vista ‘13 and down sized to a 27’ Winnebago Vista ‘17. We lost a bunk set and second bath which we didn’t need after 2 kids left. We love Winnebago.

For DV power supplies, if you replace your USB ports with USB-C ports you can use USB-C charger cables for you dehumidifier and other devices that use DC power. You just need a USB-C to whatever voltage cable you need.

🤔 Not only does putting water in the bowl keep the "stinkies" down below, it keeps the seal hydrated so it won't crack and leak! 😊 And, by the way, it provides an area in the bowl reasy and waiting for when you havea BM.

I love and appreciate all your hacks, but as a retired house cleaner, I must say that the silicone/rubber toilet bowl brush collects smell more than any other brush. You have to dip in bleach once in a while to clean it up. There are soft bristles brushes out there as better than the rubber on.

I have been using a lithium system too with a large victron inverter as well like you. I am a bit confused by all the converting of your house hold 110/115 plugs on appliances so you can use them while boondocking on 12volt battery. My understanding of the inverter has always been that while you are boondocking you can still use anything plugged into those 110 receptacles and run off of your 12 volt battery system because your inverter is inverting/converting the power as needed so it can now work off of 12 volt battery system. Isn't this an extra step that wouldn't be needed due to having an inverter?

@JD-bd5uu 3 ай бұрын

It’s probably a bit longer & more elaborate of an explanation for a comment section but it has to do with 12V/ battery systems being DC (direct current) and household systems being AC (alternating current) and the different sine waves produced by each system. There’s some power loss when running a converter or inverter, so if you’re able to plug directly into the needed system it can be more efficient. If you know an electrician (my line of work) or electrical engineer they may be able give a better explanation in person.

there are easy and cheap converter boards that let you change 12 volts to any reasonable voltage that you will use, from 3.3 volts to 24 volts. same thing for 24 volts. there are also adapters out there to convert most laptops to USB-C. it wont do gaming laptops, as those are just too power hungry, but it is true. most electronics now run on DC voltages. anything with even the simplest computer will usually change AC to DC at some point. the only things that really require AC power these days are motors/compressors and magnetic fields, like induction, but even those can technically run on DC power too, though would need extensive modifications or different motors. there are certain things that are just more convenient to plug in, but youd be surprised what actually converts AC power to DC power. also, a lot of things accept a range of voltages, so if its close, it might work just fine, if you goo too high, you could damage things, but for common things, lower voltage isnt going to hurt them

@GratefulGlamper 3 ай бұрын

That's a great question - it would be up to the software at that point - BUT just because one Arvie user books the site doesn't mean they might still not find the need to cancel the reservation putting the site back into the "pool"
