This is better than a checking account--MUST WATCH
If you’re looking for a way to simplify your finances, earn you more interest on your cash than the traditional checking account, and have your spending, savings, and investments all in one place-a cash management account might be what you’re looking for. If you’ve never heard of a cash management account before, you’re not alone. The vast majority of Americans use a checking account that pays 0% or close to that to receive direct deposits, pay bills, write checks, etc. But I’m all about making my money work harder than I do. So in the course of researching the best checking account for my own personal money management, which also offers a good interest rate, I came across this type of ac...

      We are in the west coast so we don’t really have a need for AC (if we lived in a place like Florida, we would have gotten it with the rear AC). We do bring a portable fan to keep us cool when it gets a little warmer. The van has a heater that runs on propane. It’s very efficient to keep the entire van warm.

  • @monicae67
    @monicae67 5 месяцев назад

    Great review and additional insight! I’ll be price negotiating for sure! My only issue with the pop top is that it will only be useable if the weather is good and the temperature is just right. Otherwise, I think it would be uncomfortable for anyone utilizing that space and you certainly don’t want the rain causing damage. I can also see the pop top interfering with the overall temperature inside the RV. I also didn’t know that you could request not to have an AC. Correct me if I’m wrong but you don’t necessarily have to be connected to shorepower to run the AC. I just can’t imagine being without it especially if you’re traveling to warmer climates. I don’t know how you manage without the AC. l can’t remember how the back bed situation is but I also didn’t know that you could opt for a sofa/futon. Regarding the additional sleeping space in the front cabin, I believe that Winnebago gave an inflatable mattress for the front cabin that looks more comfortable than the one you demonstrated.
