In 2021 we were doing laundry on our day off from Camp Hosting and a White Water Rafting Guide backed into our F-150 while she was about to do all of the laundry for that rafting business. Long story short, her insurance company (Geico) paid for the repairs to our rear bumper 100%, but you are correct that life on the road is complicated and coordinating repairs is a challenge. There was no car rental company within 100 miles, luckily we were able to borrow a company truck for a few days, or else we would have been stuck 20 miles away from our campground when we had to take the truck in for repairs. As to the Norcold refrigerator, I wish that Outdoors RV had a refrigerator upgrade option to a Dometic 12-volt compressor-only 10 cu ft refrigerator, the size is the exact same space as your 2-way fridge. With your 600 AH LIFEPO4 batteries, there would be no issue running the fridge whatsoever, there is even a button on the front to slow down the compressor at night when the doors aren't being opened. Many RV manufacturers have offered this fridge as standard. Outdoor RV likes to be the last one to offer a new RV appliance as they hate warranty issues as anyone does, but so many RVs are using the new Dometic fridge since 2018 that very few problems have cropped up. I will get off my soapbox, lol. This won't keep me from buying a 28dbs, but I will be campaigning for it for sure. -Dave
Sorry about your truck, but glad to hear we are not the only ones with issues. Hopefully the repaired fridge will work for a long time. If not we may look at the dometic. Happy travels.
So enjoy watching the video. You guys look so relaxed. ❤️❤️
We really enjoy seeing the real life things that can happen when rving. Being handy is a must and....we get to practice our patience!
