One more... about $400-$500 concerns water. We use the Clear Source 3 stage water filter to run any water we load into the RV, whether into the fresh water tank or straight city water. My wife further runs drinking water through a Pur jug style filter. We have very clean water (and water lines) and that is another "peace of mind' thing as well as protecting our investment. So... electrical power, Internet, tire management, water. (We have a travel trailer so no need for a goosebox, but if we had a 5th wheel we'd want that too.) The ebike idea is looking good too.

Largely agree with everything. We opted for the Andersen hitch primarily for the weight (pulling a Solitude 310gk with a SRW RAM 3500), but agree TMPS, lithium, and even e-bikes are a must. I would add a generator if your rig didn't come with one. We plan to add a cell booster once we go full time in a couple years, but as weekend warriors we typically have cell/internet in our camping area. Great video - thanks!

I'm not one for responding to most videos but in this case I'm going to. All of the suggestions in this video were good and valid. I would just re-prioritize them and it is for safety purposes only. I would put the TPMS system in the first place; let me explain. We were traveling on a Sunday. We had just had a separating tire replaced. WE were in the middle of nowhere on a Sunday when our TPMS system let us know that we were losing air on that particular tire. We were able to stop and change the low tire prior to the tire being damaged. When we got to a tire repair we were told that the valve stem was not replaced and it had "let go". Since we were towing the loaded toy hauler there was considerable weight on the back of the truck and it wouldn't have taken long to destroy that tire. Additionally, I don't know about the stability of the truck had the tire completely gone flat. That one incident actually paid for the TPMS system. The other items could be addressed in any order the owner would like to, but I'm of the opinion that safety comes first, always.

We finally simplified our system and reverted to mobile hotspots from Verizon and T-Mobile. Coverage has been good between the two, but we would always use up our data and get throttled. Last week we bought and installed Starlink. We are extremely pleased with its service so far. Having the option of both satellite and cell to stay connected has been a game changer.

If you have ever had a tire issue as we have, a TPMS is number one. The others on the list are also very good but you can work around them. However, a flat tire and/or blow out could kill you going down the road. I’d also want to have a good road service just in case something happens and we all know it will. It’s no fun parked alongside the road, in an unfamiliar area, wondering who to call especially on week-ends or after hours.

So glad your channel showed up in my feed, just subbed. I agree 1000% on the lithium! When we first got our new 5th wheel we had it parked in our driveway plugged into a typical 20 amp outlet and the gfci tripped and didn't notice it for at least 3 days and as you guessed, batteries were dead. Lithium is addictive though lol. I originally just wanted 1 or 2 lithium batteries but that quickly turned into 4 batteries and a whole solar system installed. We're not big boone dockers but more of incase the SHTF we have a comfortable place to stay but we've had to use the system a few times at full hook up camp grounds due to their electric getting knocked out and it was nice to have specially when we weren't inconvenienced hardly at all and they comped our stay. Our truck came with a 32k rated Reese 5th wheel hitch but it's fairly heavy and takes up a lot of room in the bed so Ive been looking into a goose neck type hitch, even when I take the head off to lighten the load it's still a PITA!

If I could only do 4 things, it would be: 1.

I use the AirLift system with an EasyAir compressor for adjustments on the fly. 3. TPMS / Tire Pressure Monitor System. I use the TireMinder A1AS system on my 46’ toy hauler.

I’m cheap, and just part time but wanted internet. So the travel trailer had a Wi-Fi booster built in so we could get a signal with it on our T-mobile phones, with hotspot, but it had a limited data plan and a limited range for the laptops and IPads. We have the senior T-Mobile plan because text and internet are international…we also cruise. So that service is $90 for two lines, then T-mobile came out with Wireless internet for the home. So I figured….why not take the home internet base unit ($50) with us when we travel and put it under the booster in the trailer with unlimited data. Sure enough…works like a charm. Now I can sit probably 50 yds from the trailer with my laptop and have internet. The neighbor at home said I could hook your security system cameras into his wifi system, which will notify me if someone gets near the house. The interior house security is through a separate cellular system. So phones and wireless internet is $140/mo. with the Senior plan.

Honestly if you could get at least 200Amp hours for overnight it would be best... Harrison will help you answer questions... bikes foldable I would say lectric... We would love to see you at a Huddle!

I'm no expert by any means, but I don't think you can effectively run AC on batteries for any length of time without a huge investment. I think the typical RV AC draws about 100Ah of power, so you could imagine the number of batteries you would need to run two ACs for several hours! (You would also need an inverter capable of that kind of power draw.) We run our lights, tv, refrigerator, etc. off the batteries and a 3k inverter, but for AC, we power up our generator. We currently have two 100Ah batteries, but would like to increase to four (plus a couple more solar panels).

You won't be running two air conditioners over night on battery power. On the battery power that Todd has...you could run one air conditioner for a little over an hour. The amount of batteries you would need to run an air conditioner all night...crazy. Then you would have to charge all those batteries up the next day.
