With your noise on the 12volt dc and the 120v ac outlets you clearly have a loose connection with the buzzing or humming like noise. It could be at the outlets or at the control panel but most likely at the outlets since you don’t have an issue else where. I’m sure one of y’all’s dads can fix this issue if Cody doesn’t feel comfortable. Hope this helps y’all out. Stay safe y’all

One thing I do to wash dishes to try and conserve water is I use the collapsible rubber wash tubs that lock to keep water in and open to drain. Your sink might be big enough for both of them. I clean my dishes in one and rinse in the other. Then you can either let them drain or throw out the water depending on where you are.

You mentioned the windows that didn't have shades and the heat that goes in. I'll give you a hint of what I did for the windows in our Toy Haul. I bought those truck Wind Shield Sun Shades, those silver ones. I then took paper put it on the window to trace a pattern, then cut it out of the sun shade. It was perfect and fit in the windows perfect. It cut down on the heat so much!

I did that with Reflectix for my car, the driver and passenger windows, because the CA sun on my leather seats was too much and it also really reduces the heat in the car. I have a windshield cover also. When I go on road trips and need to nap at a truck stop or rest area I also put those shades in the windows for privacy and to block the lamp post lights.

When doing dishes, I take a pan that will be washed, fill it with the “first water” (cold) and heat it on the stove. It heats quickly and by then the hot water is running into in the rinse dishpan. Then I add the heated water to the wash water. This routine actually saves on water use by not wasting the “first water”. Sorry if I don’t explain this as clearly as I should, but I hope you know what I mean.

I have a propane water heater but I only use it when I'm going to shower. For doing dishes I heat the water in an electric kettle. It works well and I'm not using the propane nor having to wait for it to heat up whenever I want to do dishes.

I have a Model year 2000 Jayco Travel Trailer that we bought in May of 2001. I pull it with the GMC version of your truck. My truck has a seven foot bed (intermediate length). Some friends have trouble climbing up into it, but other than that I have loved it. The big thing I really like about it is that I can lock the camper up on my camp site and go to the grocery store, or drive a vehicle trail, or go out to eat, etcetera, and it is still sitting there holding my camp site. I have a tonneau cover for the truck bed to keep my stuff dry and out of sight. It also has a locking tailgate which locks when I lock the cab doors. For me, it is the perfect combination!!

Love your vdeo! Our first camper was a slide-in back in the 80s. It had so much storage. Our kids were pre-teens, and they mostly rode in the camper back then since our truck had a standard cab. The camper had a window that lined up the truck rear window, and they would shine a flashlight on the floor of the pickup through the back window when they wanted our attention. We had a great time in it. After it wasn't road worthy anymore, we waited quite a while before we got our 2nd camper, which was an 18' tow behind. We are now in our 3rd camper, a 21' bumper hitch, and we love it. We took a 2 month trip to Alaska last summer and highly recommend that trip! We boondocked a lot on that trip. We put shelves in the wardrobes, too. Much better utilization of space. I do dishes in tubs, usually outside, and don't use running water. I, too, love the oven and have never used the microwave. I, too, am in the process of taking it out for the storage. Happy travels!

We have been considering one for our horse trailer’s living quarters. Our living quarter’s set up and water capacity is pretty much the same amount of space as your truck camper so your comments definitely give me food for thought about whether we should do that or not. When you are plugged in at a camp ground, you then CAN have endless hot water showers (without needing to turn water on and off for conservation reasons) though correct?🤔

Our trailer had a regular 8 gallon water heater and every time we turned the water off while showering and then back on to rinse, it was always cold. I believe it just gets cold in the line, especially during the winter. So I don't believe the tankless water heater is to blame entirely as we had the same problem. We almost bought a Lance camper but opted for a travel trailer as our truck wasn't big enough. I really like the Lance campers and trailers. They are well made.

Yeah, I forgot to warn you guys about that water heater coming on at night! Ours got to where it came on if it was , say, lower than 50f outside..I tried another sensor but it was about the same. I finally bought a ''Lizard Light'' for like an Aquarium, only about 25w, and mounted it in the waterheater . It keeps it so toasty, you have almost instant warm water , but it is 110v so you have to power it off the inverter or shore power. The lithiums will keep it on overnight ok , but if it's stupid cold we go to a rv park mostly. Also, remember to insulate around that front window and cap when you can, you will love the result's. Thanks for another great video ! jeff

Regarding your air conditioner and having to plug into short power. If you install a soft start on your AC unit you can run it with a small 2000 watt generator when you're boondocking. Generally, those generators will run 11 hours on the standard gas tank. Cheers

Love to hear your stories! We started in the 80's tent camping just the two of us and later tent camping with kids. Next we went to pulling a trailer and the absolute unbeleivable JOY of having a roof, water, cooking ability, heater and toilet. Next we went to small older motorhome so we could tow our boat and the kids were along, that was what we needed because we love to go fishing. Next we went to 5th Wheel camping close to home, but I had to take two round trips, one to take the 5th wheel and the other to take the boat. Difficult but WOW that 5th wheel with slides was like home. Now the kids are gone, we have a camper, boat and jeep. We take the camper everyhwere we want to go and tow either the boat for coastal, lake trips, or the jeep for desert and mountain trips. What FUN we are having and it is the perfect setup for two and it works for a couple weeks or so. We love camper trips but are thinking about a 5th wheel for long term trips where we would be gone for moths at a time. Still pondering this but a Camper might work for months if we could get out and not be stuck inside for too long.. Anyway, we love your channel and learn a lot from you both! You are a great couple.

Great story. I think a fifth wheel would be great for long term in one location.

Yes campers are so versatile and you can go just about anywhere and park anywhere. You’re better off with the diesel I heard the 7.3 gas engine has some cam delaminating issues. We traded our 2008 Lance 992 and ordered and bought a 2022 Lance 1172. We prefer the layout has it has a rear slide couch. Much more comfortable than sitting at dinette. We went the 2 solar panels plus we have a portable one and 2 lithium batteries and an on board propane generator. We haven’t tried the camper out yet we got it late last year. Waiting for spring.

Best Ford motor was the 7.3 liter diesel but they discontinued it after 2003. It's bulletproof and good for half a million miles or more with proper maintenance.
