Thanks!!

That’s fantastic! It’s really good to hear it’s held up that long for you, hoping ours does as well. Any tips and tricks as the gear ages that you have to share?

So glad to hear it's held up well for you! I suspect the main part of the hose is made with the same materials. For us, the ends on the black hose are just so much easier to use.

Glad you enjoyed the video! You’ll love any amount of time you spend in Zion, but 90 minutes at any National Park will limit all that you can see. Still a great place to stop if only for a little bit.

Thanks!!

So sorry to hear that!! We've had things both covered and denied. So many loop holes they can try to use to get out of covering something. Also had a factory extended warranty on our Jeep and same experience. I think people have to remember, these are companies trying to make a profit. They are not there to protect the consumer, they are there to make a profit. Sometimes they have to cover a claim, but lots of times they have a clause in their agreements that lets them off the hook.

How’s it held up for you over time?

Thanks!

Hi Jamie, there should be a link at the beginning of the video that explains how to adjust your video settings to account for the app which sometimes lowers the playback quality. Or, here’s the link to the video as well: Campground Virtual Tour Fuzzy? How to improve picture quality ruclips.net/video/2LwfCEt40-k/видео.html

Thanks! We’re really happy with how it turned out!

We got our truck with a 50 gallon tank from the factory. So far so good, hopefully we don’t need to add an aux tank, or we’ll have to find a place to add that as well 🙂

You will love it!

Thanks for your concern. There are 10-12 bolts attaching the gooseneck to the RV. The hitch was installed at the dealer prior to picking up the unit. Why they mix/matched colored bolts makes no sense to us, lol.

So...I wrapped it around the main cable and made sure it was pinched against the metal casing of the connector on the end of the cable. It might not have been the right way, not sure, but it's been working perfectly fine for us. I've have this setup running for the past 1.5 years almost full time and have not seen any issues...Hope that helps!

@@this-mobile-life that's good news. We added the connect on the outside but haven't tested it yet.

Nice! Hope it works great for you. We just upgraded from our Airstream van to a Brinkley 5th wheel and added a new connection ourselves. We'll be putting out an update video showing where we installed this one as well :-)

Hello! Congrats on the new rig! When you step down from a 50 AMP cord to a 30 amp outlet, you will have significantly less power available to use. In a normal 50 AMP connection, you have 2 hot legs in the wire, each with their own 50 AMP breaker (effectively you have access to 100 amps of power). When using a 30 AMP adapter and 30 AMP outlet you have 1 hot leg and a total of 30 amps of power available. That being said, a 30 AMP connection should be plenty of power to run a single AC and fridge, while keeping the batteries topped off.. What exactly is happening could depend on a lot of variables. Are you sure your batteries are going down/draining? Or are they going through a charge/discharge cycle? With our first RV, our battery charger had a range where it would run a charge cycle and fully charge the battery, then it would stop charging and allow the 12V devices (lights, water pump, etc) to use some of the charge in the battery. Once the battery got down to a preset voltage, the charger would kick back in and fully top off the batteries, and start the cycle over again. Charge, drain to preset, charge, drain to preset, charge….. Could this be how yours is configured?

@@this-mobile-life Ive been on shore for about a week and I have not noticed a cycle. Ive turned the fridge off and my battery seems to be holding a charge, but its not being topped off. Battery lingers where it had drained to prior @ 25% or so. Ive got a new adapter(with surge protector thanks for that advice) arriving tomorrow and we'll see if thats the culprit. If not the only thing I can think is, charge the battery and/or have a 50amp breaker and plug installed. Thanks again for the great video and reply! Ill return if I get it figured out and let you know what was going on. Ive got alot to learn.

So weird! A few questions.... Do you have a volt meter to manually check the voltage of the battery? Knowing what the voltage is at would help indicate it's true state of charge. Do you know if your RV has an inverter or a converter? Do you know if your fridge is powered by AC or DC? Do you have any solar? If you want to share the year, make, and model I could see if I could determine how it came from the factory... :-). So sorry your having to deal with this...not fun when you're trying to enjoy your new RV!

@@this-mobile-life Its a '23 Cruiser MPG. Wired for solar, but no panels. Another youtuber said this EverChill fridge runs on 12V only which is why I turned it off, and that did stop the battery from draining. Inverter and converter should be good. Btw no change with my new adapter. Just ordered a multimeter, so ill investigate further when that comes in.

Hi! Thank you 🤗

:-)

You bet! Glad to help!

Hi Kathy! Removing the tab is not needed. The connector we used holds it down when it’s inserted. The connector itself has its own latching mechanism to hold it in place when connected. Hope this helps 😁

The speed limit was pretty low and everyone was driving carefully. But yeah! could be bad if someone was driving crazy!

You're welcome!

Hey, thanks for your comment. We were worried about that as well, but really never presented an issue for us. We were in south Texas for quite a while with really bad mosquitos and really only had an issue with them getting in when we opened the screen to get in and out of the van. When we were inside at night with the doors open, they would pile up on the screen, but didn't seem to find their way in. If we had to do it all over again, we'd totally buy the same screen again. One thing to note, this screen is weighted at the bottom, and as long as you install it correctly without a big gap at the bottom, the rests nicely on the step of the van.

Thanks for sharing

Because of the size of 360 video, RUclips will sometimes play at a lower resolution if your internet speed is slow at the moment. You can manually override this in the RUclips settings. Here is a video that discussed how to do that to see a higher (less blurry) picture ruclips.net/video/2LwfCEt40-k/видео.html

Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks!!

Thanks for sharing!

Correct….well sort of….with a 50 amp RV hookup, you are pulling two hot legs (line 1 and line 2) connected to double pole 50 amp breaker (two 50 amp breakers switched together). These then share one common neutral and one ground. In effect, an RV setup with 50 amp hookups, has two 50 amp legs or lines. These legs are spilt in the RV’s breaker box to serve different loads in the RV, such as multiple air conditioners and appliances. In effect there is 100 amps of total electrical service available on a properly setup 50 amp RV hookup, but it up to the distribution panel and wiring configuration in the RV to properly distribute.

We enjoyed it, and the kids had fun exploring the area. We also didn't have to pay anything to visit and check it out. Worth the stop if passing through.

Thanks for your comment!

Welcome aboard and thanks for subscribing!!

So sorry to hear that! Any chance you could still return it? Our has worked and held up very well!

Sorry you feel that way. Our goal was not to put out a step by step install video, but rather to show something we did that has worked very well for our internet connection needs.

So glad to hear! We agree!!

Wow, thanks for responding. We had a great time and enjoyed exploring the property.

Hey! So we zip tied the cable up to the frame and have not had any issues with the cable being under the van. We've taking the van down some crazy "roads" (if you could even call them that) while out boondocking many times and never had any issues. We also siliconed the back of the plug to help with any water intrusion. It's been rock solid for us since we installed it.

Sorry for the late reply! You likely already figured out the answer, but in case not....If you want to run anything AC and you're not connected to your generator or shore power, you will need an inverter.

Sorry we didn't include that part. Most RVs have either a hardwired cord or a twisting lock that connects like a dryer power cable. It's a big round plug, that plugs into the side of the RV, then twists a little to hold it in place, followed by a screw on collar to make sure it does not come disconnected.

Thanks for pointing that out! That’s how it’s intended to be used. Thanks for helping everyone else out 😀

Hey. It is open at the bottom. When it’s windy you can sometimes see a little gap at the bottom, but it’s never been a problem with bugs or anything for us.

Hey. This really depends on how your RV is built. The batteries often run your low voltage (12V) devices such as lights, control panels, etc. Some RVs have a convertor that converts shore power into 12V while plugged in, while also charging the battery. Normally, the battery(s) are left connected all the time while using the RV in most RVs.

Your welcome!

Prices vary depending on where and when someone buys. There are options starting at $70k and up depending what type of property you buy and what amenities are included (water, sewer, electric, concrete pad, deck, RV port, etc). Many of these are listed on the local MLS real estate sites like realtor.com, redfin.com, etc.

Ha Ha Ha

Thanks for watching!!

Hey, thanks for watching. are you talking about this one? amzn.to/3Uy9RQ2 We haven’t tried that one, but it looks very similar in how it is installed. I can say the screen we showed in the video has held up very well to 2 years of full time use by a family of 4 and is really well made. As long as the Van Essentials is made of similar quality, it would probably be good too!

Thanks for watching!

Hey! Thanks for the feedback! Sorry to hear you're running into the same issue. Other than this issue, we never had another single major problem with out Tiffin. So strange this seems to be a common issue! They were indeed self tapping metal screws. To be honest, I cant remember the exact size. I think at the time I just picked screws that looked like they'd go in far enough but not to far. Ads far as our repair, it held strong and we never had another issue before we traded out of the rig for our next rig. Good Luck!

Hey! Here is the link to the chip we used. led4rv.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=580. This one is cool white, they also have a warm color which is here led4rv.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=582
