[@Mountian-Zen]

You can have a surge protector hard wired installed within you electrical bay, your power cord would then be plugged directly into the electrical power panel at the RV park. Just as easy as hooking up your water supply hose. No more back breaking plugging, unplugging into the portable surge protector.

[@LizAmazing]

That is starting to look like a GREAT answer. Thanks so much for this!

[@markpillori]

👆 yes, high on your upgrade list should be an internal surge protector! I hated to see you bent over at the hip trying to pull up on the plug. Very bad for your back. Never bend over! Always bend at the knees and squat. Hope you have many many miles of trouble free RVing!

[@mowguy1]

The good news about the surge protector is that it's more difficult for someone to walk off with. Seriously the hardwired one would be my choice.

[@Paintide]

That would be one option, but I am unfamiliar with the lifespan of high voltage SPs these days? Otherwise, tap in two windshield tools on either side and pry in unison, their built for it and non conducting.

[@BajaGirl302]

That’s what I was going to suggest also. Like already said, it’s hardwired into your bay. 🥰

[@chrisflavelle1200]

Nice coach Liz. Enjoy! To get rid of the corrosion on the terminals and connections, neutralize it with a mix of water and baking soda. Invest in a terminal cleaning brush from any auto parts store and then when you're ready to reconnect everything, put a very light coating of the dielectric or plain Vaseline on every connection. This will slow down the formation of the corrosion and make the removal of the connections much easier if and when you decide to replace or need to change out a battery.

[@steiny3353]

Chris Flavelle That's good advice, Chris.....works well

[@jaytt4639]

I bought the little kit from auto zone and it includes a round felt pad to put down too. So far so good

[@traveler320ak7]

And when cleaning the battery terminals wear safety glasses just in case.

[@steves3688]

For Sure! Great advice!

[@mjo8856]

Chris is right Liz. That's quite a bit of corrosion. I would take both connections off (negative first, then positive) and clean them really well. Pay attention to the terminal. If the acid had eaten through they may need to be replaced. Wear protective glasses and old clothes when cleaning with the sofa water. You will splatter and that acid will eat through clothes. There will be lots of green foam. Change the soda water and keep cleaning until all clean. Take a terminal connection brush and clean the posts and inside the terminal connectors before installing back (positive first, then negative). My dad used bearing grease to goop up the terminals to prevent corrosion. Something I do to this day. They do make a terminal corrosion spray, but I haven't tried it out. An earlier post said something about Cola. Don't do that. You will have a sticky mess. Anyway, lots of KZbin videos out there for the process. Just my two cents.

[@rhondagoldberg8419]

Liz, I'm so happy for you! What a fantastic new home; it looks spacious and extremely comfortable. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors. ❤

Thank you for the wonderful channel, Liz! I am learning a lot, though I am a new subscriber. My husband passed away a year ago and now, at the ripe old age of 67, I am thinking about going out on the open road... though I am scared to death at the thought of being alone. You are doing beautifully even by yourself, and it gives me hope! I would keep my house and just go on shorter trips to start, i think. I will keep watching for all of your tips and tricks! thanks!

[@LizAmazing]

Yes, just take baby steps. You may even wish to join a club of other solo RVers and travel as a group. Sorry about your loss, I am sure it has been a rough year. Good for you for trying new things! And welcome to the channel, looking forward to meeting you on the road.

My husband passed away several years ago. I learned to drive my Class A motorhome and recently a motorcycle too. I'm 69 y/o. I moved to Nevada from Oregon.. on my own. I'm settled but I miss my old life sometimes... It's ok. ❤️❤️❤️. Good days mostly 😊

Nice RV! We now have a residential refrigerator in our motorhome but we did love the propane one. My husband lived in ours for five years working at a US Air Force base. We never had any trouble with the propane freezer and it did not cause freezer burn that we ever saw. Still miss that little refrigerator! Happy travels to you ❤️

That's great to hear, Pattie. I bet the older ones were better. I think that was the case with my 2003 Chinook camper van. The fridge was great! Thanks for watching and your kind words. Happy travels!

Same here with the propane frig. Never had an issue with coldness or freezer.

[@jimg2885]

Liz that is a nice RV. Alfa built a very nice coach and I love the ceiling height. The full body paint is a great upgrade. Very happy for you and wish you the best in your travels. One thing that I do after my back surgery per my doctors advise, he said to not sit longer than 30 minutes which it sounds like you go from sitting and then stand up. He advised me to walk just a little bit to move around and then go to sitting or standing. It has really helped me. Take care and glad you seem to be doing well.

[@LizAmazing]

Hi Jim, sorry you've also been through back surgery. That's true that keeping it moving is very helpful. Thanks for watching and take care of your back.

Thanks Cher, so grateful to have you here!

[@user-jd8of6up1o]

Hi Liz. For your problems with disconnecting the electric cord. Many times the connection inside at contacts of blade into sleeve for electric power transfer is intended to be tight to help eliminate heat and burnt terminals due to loose connection. Leave the plug in your surge protector and you or another person you trust cut a notch in the floor of the compartment or install one of the much larger plastic rings in the compartment floor ( sold at rv places or online ) I did the larger ring on a Monaco class A I had last year. I fought the unplugging until I changed out the little plastic ring for much bigger. Enjoy and have fun Glen

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks Glen. I am reluctant to cut a hole in the outside of my motorhome though. I may get something installed inside. Still thinking on it. Thanks for watching.

[@roytrayan8972]

Great advice. I love your home. With that paint job you home will never be old.

I think this is why you call yourself "Liz Amazing", because of all of the things that you venture out to do. I think it's amazing that you are taking on this big pusher to drive and manage all alone. Many women would not try it. I would if I could afford it. Fantastic home on wheels! Congrats to you! 🎉🎊 You're very knowledgeable!

[@sammiepuppy4196]

Hi Liz- Terrific layout!. Looks extremely comfy. A few ideas you may find helpful- I am terrified of the gas stove and hate using it. I purchased a cook top like yours, but most of the time,it is not practical when cooking for two or when we have dinner guests, so… I got a Cuisinart griddle/waffle maker. Works great for sandwiches, burgers, etc…and can even toast bread perfectly. Also got a Proctor Silex electric pot- perfect for boiling everything! My best appliance is my All-Clad electric frying pan- use it to cook everything from short ribs, pot roast to fish. With those appliances and the convection microwave, I never turn on the stove. My doggies were always accidentally turning on the knobs on the stove. While browsing a thrift shop, found a brand new set of stove knob covers. Fantastic find! No more hitting the knobs. Travel safely and look forward to sharing more of your adventures. 👍🏻🙏❤️😀

Great camper Liz as far cord end issue I would suggest having a surge protection mounted in your rv there wouldn’t be any issues including possible theft of the surge protection also the track with the stuff peeling off I would remove the track remove the stuff from it then get some rust oleum paint that you love and paint and install

[@LizAmazing]

Great tips, both of them. Thank you so very much!!! And thanks for watching.

[@mikewatkins978]

Morning Liz, I had almost the same issue with my shore power plug, I found a door trim removing tool used by professional auto repair shops, Snap-On, Matco and most tool vendors carry them, they have a nice beveled tip that can be slid in between the two half's of the connection and then the prying force is directed vertically up the center of the plug instead of from the side, when the pressure is from the side the plug pins bind in the sockets and that's why it's so hard to separate them. Hope this helps, You could use a screwdriver to pry them apart but most people don't think to get the cord disconnected before shoving a metal screwdriver tip into an electric plug so I can't suggest that.

[@LizAmazing]

And then I googled something, Mike, that said even if the rig is unplugged you can still get a shock if you touch metal to the prongs. Thanks for your tip, and for watching.

[@kathyfann]

Oh I am so glad you found one of these. I have seen them and they often come with washer and dryer.

Thanks so very much. I am so glad to have you here! See you in the next video!

[@donoberley3582]

Hi Liz, love the new coach. As to your sticky connection,clean off the grease so can see where the blades are rubbing . There should be shiny scratches or brighter areas where the friction occurs. Then take some emery cloth and work on these areas checking your progress frequently so as not to remove too much material. If it’s way out of a good fit use a file to remove the bulk of the material , then finish with the emery cloth. The other option is to return the unit for one that fits better. This may not be an option. Good luck.

[@LizAmazing]

Hi Don. I hadn't even heard of emery cloth so I will have to google that. It does sound like the answer. Thanks for this, and for watching!

[@faroutgolf3650]

This older Alfa is pure class. It reminds me of owning an older Mercedes Benz 300 TD. I've only rented an RV once from Ca. to Utah. St. George to Salt Lake City. Clean the terminals with a brush and vinegar wipe off with paper towels then reconnect the terminal and apply lithium grease on top of terminals.. Use your gloves unless you feel adventurous..😇

[@bbcooter388]

Don't clean your terminals with vinegar, vinegar is an acid and you have acid (sulfuric acid) buildup on the terminals. I don't know what could happen when you mix two acids, but I wouldn't want to find out. Use a solution of baking soda and water to clean your terminals, the baking soda will neutralize the sulfuric acid. Additionally, I recommend you install treated felt washers on each terminal when you re-install your cables to the batteries. You can find them at auto parts stores near the new battery section. These felt washers are treated to neutralize the acid coning up from the battery posts and will prevent (or severely retard) the terminal corrosion.

[@LizAmazing]

Thank you. I cleaned the terminals with baking soda and water but still need to apply a coat of something to the terminals. Thanks for the reminder, and for watching.

[@timhardman4764]

Well done Video - full of good info - quick paced - good videography !! A++ For the surge protector issue I'd look for one that fits through the hole in the compartment floor or make that whole bigger to fit the surge protector you have. Making the hole bigger (assuming no obstructions underneath) is something you could do along with mounting a new cover plate for the new hole size. You really do have a beautiful rig.

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks so much for your comment, Tim. I actually bought a smaller surge protector that would fit in the hole...BUT I learned the hard way that it will NOT fit when plugged in. I am reluctant to cut a hole in the rig so I am leaning towards a hard-wired surge protector. Thanks so VERY much for your kind words!!! Big hugs to you!

[@theresajoyce7589]

Wow, Liz, that home is huge! Is it bigger than the fifth wheel because it sure looks like it! I hope it’s a great home for you with few future issues. It looks great! Good luck 🍀🙋🏻‍♀️!

Hi Theresa! The fifth wheel was 35 feet and this is 38 (but also has the cab) so I'd say about the same. But...it feels WAY bigger with so much storage! Thanks so much for your good wishes, and for watching. So glad to have you here!

[@LizAmazing]

Exactly! And thanks so much for watching!!! Sure appreciate your kind words!

[@corinnejohnson3839]

Nice unit! As for the batteries, baking soda and vinegar and a brass bristle brush. Some have said that pouring Coca-Cola on the terminals will work. After you clean the terminals and posts, there is a battery terminal spray you can use. It coats everything and helps prevent the corrosion. Can you make the hole for your power cord larger? You could make it large enough to fit the surge protector through, just make sure you keep some sort of cover on it to keep rodents out. Enjoy your new RV!

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks Corinne, I thought about cutting a hole but would rather not. It has a nifty little cap for the hole now so I think I will not do that. I may install a built-in surge protector though. And thanks for the battery tip!

[@frankstith7800]

No vinegar!! Just baking soda and water for cleaning. The rest of your advice is good.

[@clarkleakins879]

Nice choice on the new home. That's a tour bus in disguise! Yes, that interior height is great. Especially for any future resale. Not everyone is under 6'5"! as most other motorhomes. That massive windshield will be nice during bad weather. Not so claustrophobic. Hope you have a giant reflector/cover for the hot days. Tire pressure monitor system? No? Definitely install! Can save your life! Same for the towed. Yes on the induction cook top! Future, remove the gas top, install a residential unit. Much safer, cleaner, more efficient, and less interior moisture. Can you haul the bicycle in the under/belly compartment, without injury to your back? Maybe on a slide out tray? Let us know your MPG! And for gosh sakes, dont drive into any sandy parking!

[@LizAmazing]

HI Clark! A definite no to a sandy lot, LOL. I am getting just over 6mpg but both trips I've done so far were hilly. In my next fillup I expect those numbers to go up slightly. The motorhome has a power shade in the front, quite handy! I thought about that for the bike but it just won't fit in the compartment. Darn. But I will be doing a future video about bike theft prevention and a smart solution I found. And stay tuned as I will be talking about TPMS in an upcoming video. Thanks for your comment!

Great choice on your Alfa Liz. Alfa is a brand designed for full timers by full timers. Interesting story how the Alfa came about, if you’re familiar with John Crean Sr the founder of Fleetwood RV,his son John Crean Jr worked for him & he wanted to change things up. John Sr was not a full time RV’er but John Jr was so Jr wanted to build a line of coaches for full timers & Sr said no, if it’s not broke why fix it Sr said. Long story short,they had words & Jr left & started his own company he called Alfa & the last thing he said to his dad was see ya. That’s where the See Ya name comes from. They later reconciled in later years before John Sr passed away.

[@paulontheroad]

@@LizAmazing Actually you probably should use a flat tip screwdriver with an insulated handle so there would be no risk of electrocution. If you do use this method then you will have to move from side to side because you won't get it to come apart just prying on one side. I had to do that every time I needed to take the surge protector off the cable.

It’s the number one most important factor when buying an RV, “safety”! My wife and I have been RVing now for about seven years, (3rigs), I’ve been RVing and tent camping since I was a little boy. It amazes me that no salesman will bring it up and most people either don’t have an interest in it or don’t realize it’s importance while shopping! Having said that, it made me subscribe to your channel! Keep up the great videos, good luck on your new adventures!

[@LizAmazing]

Yay! So glad you subscribed!!! Thank you! Yes, safety is never talked about enough. Stay tuned for several safety themed videos I have planned. And thanks for watching! Looking forward to seeing you out here.

Wow, you found a beautiful RV! Thank you for the tour, and for the standing desk link!

[@LizAmazing]

Yay! So glad you liked the tour, and the desk. I saw plenty of them in office stores but they were WAY expensive, like $4000. This was better and a lot cheaper. Thanks for watching, JW!

[@Hope-fy7gh]

You’re awesome! Thank you and I pray for blessings over your health and family.

[@LizAmazing]

Thank you so much, Hope!

[@purselmer5931]

It's always so cute the juxtaposition between that huge rig and you towing that huge truck w/your little self, lol. Great motorhome - an oldie but a very goodie! Congrats on the new home.

[@LizAmazing]

Yes! I am being me even though this is probably NOT the norm, LOL! Thanks for watching and I am so happy to have you here! See you in the next video.

[@candyscatmobilervlife3884]

Gorgeous!! I'm envious of your fridge and driver area.

[@LizAmazing]

Awww, thanks Candy! so glad to have you along for the ride. See you in the next video.

[@lindas8002]

I have the same problem unplugging my surge protector. I use a long handled flat head screw driver and carefully pry the plug upwards. Works every time!

[@LizAmazing]

Good to know, thanks Linda! I am concerned about electracution so I will be trying a rubber mallet and plastic wedges. Hope that works! Happy travels!

[@gwitgwit]

Baking soda, water and a wire brush can be used to clean battery terminals. after cleaned, a spray of clear coat or battery terminal protectant spray helps prevent future corrosion. Good luck and thanks for sharing your new RV.

[@LizAmazing]

I did that, thanks so much. BUT I haven't yet done the protectant spray. Thanks for the reminder, and for watching. See you in the next video!

[@rvadventureexplorer]

Nice coach. We keep our surge protector in the bay. We have another adapter and use that to hook to the campgrounds electrical box then it connects to the surge protector and the surge protector is hooked to the rv. It also keeps the surge protector from being stolen.

[@LizAmazing]

I need about 20 to 30 feet to go from the rig to the post though. Believe me, I have thought about doing that! And thanks for watching!

[@williamtravis9301]

Nice RV Liz. You're braver than I am. I just bought my first new RV...and it's only a class B Winnebago Travato. I had to get used to driving that big van! Glad to see you weren't afraid to get that big coach and head out on your own! Good luck!

[@LizAmazing]

See, that's the way to do it! I learned driving a van, then a 30foot fifth wheel. It can be done! And thanks for watching. I've heard good things about Travatos by the way, happy travels!

[@bethb6568]

Love your new class A. Anxious to watch all the changes you make! Proud of you!

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks so much for the support, Beth! It's been a rough month but I see blue skies ahead. See you in the next video, and thanks for watching.

[@bethb6568]

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks for the good wishes, so happy to have you here!

[@yourtruetreasures]

@@LizAmazing it's wonderful to see and learn from your experience I've been in my motorhome for 5 years and I love it it's an older one, the Woodworks the same as yours all original and and yes the hinges and Hardware does constantly need to be updated, again you're helping so many be more comfortable at making a transition to enjoying life more Fuller, thank you for all the great content you have always provided. Thank you again, hugs Ray 😁

[@wandamccoy2148]

Nice coach. Enjoy it and have fun on your journey.

Hi Cynthia! Thanks for watching and glad to have you here!!!

[@robertmallory4033]

Excellent tour and video. Thanks for sharing your adventures !

[@LizAmazing]

Thank you, Robert, glad to have you here. See you in the next video.

[@garyhawthorne4599]

I think you will love that coach, I have a 2005 Monaco Diplomat that I bought new, it has 90,000 miles on it now. I do most all maintenance myself and have had almost no issues, I still have the original propane refrigerator that works great. I have replaced both air con units and batteries and tires (due to age). I run my generator whenever I am driving for the air, the more you use the genset the better it will work for you. Check your slack adjusters (brakes) they are self adjusting however they do not adjust if you do not push the brake pedal down hard enough.

[@LizAmazing]

Great tips, thanks so much Gary. Happy to have you here and thanks for watching!

[@ellen6229]

Oh she's a beauty Liz!! Your gonna love it!

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks so much Paula! Hope you are enjoying some quality grandbaby time!!!

[@truth490]

Liz , I had the same problem with surge protector. I found my best solution is - make sure it’s unplugged then I have a flat head screw driver that slips in between the connections. Then pry back and forth little by little- and out in seconds. Works great for me.

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks Doug. I've heard you can give yourself a shock if the screwdriver touches the metal prong so be careful. Another commenter recommended a mallet and plastic wedges so I may try that. Thanks for watching.

[@raygawor5422]

Good luck with it hope it gives you much joy on the next step of life being one person again on the road doing it all . be safe 👍

[@LizAmazing]

Yep. It's definitely an adjustment. Gotta heal my broken heart and get used to solo life again. It's been SO helpful to have all the love and support here on this page. AND I am focusing on moving forward with my life as well as bringing YOU the best content that I can! Thanks for watching, Ray!
