I really love your videos, but wonder if you could includet some comments on your lithium battery experience. Enough to stay comfortable? Any power concerns? Are you warm enough at night when the temps drop down? How well do you economize on your fresh water and holding tanks?
@@josepharmelin6467 thank you for watching! And those are excellent questions. We’ve focused so much on travel and photography and haven’t really done a van-focused video since we started. But we’ve learned a lot and definitely have thoughts so perhaps it’s time to do an update. Short answer - the whole reason we got the batteries was to make sure Abby would be comfortable, even in places where a generator wouldn’t be appropriate (like a grocery store parking lot). The batteries have absolutely served that purpose - they’ve kept us and the dog comfortable, while serving enough power to keep the fridge up, the internet going, our devices charged, and the induction stovetop and microwave working. Water and holding tanks are certainly more of a hassle than we expected they would be. We usually need to find a place to dump/fill after 3 days. Not sure if our sensors are working - that’s a longer conversation. :-)
@@TumbleweedsPhoto Thank you for your thorough reply. I'm not in position to purchase an RV at this time, so I do my traveling through your lens. This info does help me make a buying decision when the time comes..
Wow😊
