As a full time RVer and stay at trailer mom I can't get enough of my electric skillet. It's roughly the size of a extra large baking dish and can bake, fry, roast, saute...etc. We save on propane and I can move it out when we want meals outside; plus being able to "other than grill" outside helps keep the heat out of the trailer. Huge plus on the Texas coast with 3 guys and 5 dogs. All heaters. LOL

What I think is a must have for an RV is a good quality, small vacuum that gets into all the small places in an RV, and is cordless so you can go anywhere in your RV to vacuum up all the crap you drag inside from all the different places you travel to, which ain't clean if your an outdoors person that most RV'ers are, Lol My pick is the Dyson V8 Animal Pro Cordfree Vacuum with HEPA and Cleaning Tools, the best RV vacuum you will ever need, hands down, and I've used them all with no good luck, until I got the Dyson's powerful suction that even sucks up animal hair with ease About $350,but well worth it, lemme tell ya!

Couple points; ... 1)have heard from a number of rv'ers that tried to have both that the "signals" from their portable weather station disrupts the "signals" from the tpms so proper readings/warnings aren't possible any longer 2) the proper "name" for the Big Buddy &/or Little Buddy heaters is "Mr. Heater" so if anyone doesn't follow your links they can still find them

There are a lot of "must-haves" for RVing. My no 1 is a good external surge protector. Many of the built in ones don't have an automatic reset and some have to be replaced before you use electric again. I highly recommend a NOAA weather alert radio. The apps depend on NOAA and any delay can be deadly. We've gotten weather alert on apps after the weather had already hit us.

One thing if you are going to do a lot of off the grid rving is a small generator ,900watts, in case you drain all power and can not start your regular generator, or motor home. Not necessary if you are towing car. But you need some thing to jump start your system.
@bicanoo_magic3452 4 жыл бұрын
Use a split charge system. Dedicated Start battery and dedicated House battery(s). The split-charger charges the Start battery first and when done switches to the House battery. So you can never drain the start battery. Problem solved and it's fully automatic.
@Terryblount 4 жыл бұрын
Right on! Very important to have to avoid getting caught dead in the water as boaters would say. The small 1000 watt will power everything except ac and microwave. $120 - get one with 12v charger built in. Seems that everyone is plugged in but if you can get off the grid and on dc you'll stretch your money a lot. 50 cents worth of gas in a small generator will charge batteries for 2 hours.

I've been doing research to build a custom rig in a 32 foot enclosed cargo trailer. There's one thing that I didn't see on this video that I've heard is really a great addition, and that I intend on installing in my own rig. A diesel heater! It produces dry heat, so there's no need to remove excess humidity in your rig. If you're in a trailer you can use a removable tank designed for things like small boats and whatnot or mount a tank and fill port, and if you're in a drivable RV that runs on diesel you have the option of having the heater pull from your main tank. You can easily get more fuel without moving your rig using a basic gas can. As a nice cherry on top, heating with diesel is cheaper based on national average prices because diesel has more BTU's of energy per gallon than propane does, meaning less fuel is needed to produce the same amount of heat.

Another great video! We had a C class for 5 years and have had our A class for 5.5 years and one thing we got early on not mentioned in your video is a propane Extend-a-Stay kit. We live close to Ottawa, ON, Canada and there are not as many places that fill onboard propane tanks so this was crucial. It allows you to use portable tanks instead of your onboard. It also allows you to connect small grills that use a 1lb tank so it can use your onboard (never used it that way though). I worked in Atlanta, GA for a year while living in rv and in the winter I just refilled the portable tanks. It would have sucked to have had to move the RV!!

Great collaboration video. Even though we have a surge protector as part of the Automated Transfer Switch (ATS) in our class A, we still use a Surge protector at the power pedestal. We have it for two reasons. The first is it provides a couple of additional features beyond the built-in surge protector. The second is if there is a catastrophic power incident, we would rather have the surge protector burning at the pedestal instead of inside our power bay.

I'd say our hotspot and wifi service is our #1 must have gadget. Happy wife, happy life. Or should I say, no TV, no wife. We couldn't agree more on the Mimo antenna. We have the same one. It will only work if your hotspot has antenna ports though. We have the FCMAs AT&T $60/mo. unlimited plan, but the little hotspot that they provided free with the plan didn't have antenna ports, so we purchased a reconditioned Netgear Nighthawk MR1100 hotspot that has antenna them. It works great in 95% of the places we go - and we go to some remote places, deep in the mountains. We have a couple of the regular size Mr. Heater Buddy heaters (one for back-up - BTW always carry back-ups of your critical components) that we might use a couple times a year, as we try to avoid snow at all costs. It is plumbed into our motorhome's propane system, and we have an Extend-a-Stay kit (highly recommended) that allows us to use the 20lb portable tanks in addition to the big tank on our MH. We never use our furnace anymore now that we have our heat pump and big solar/battery system, only using our Buddy heater if it gets below freezing. This is the big one, as we boondock almost exclusively. We full time in our motorhome but haven't plugged into a power pedestal in over a year and a half. We have 4,400 watts of solar on our roof and another 620-watt liftable solar array on the side of our motorhome, that makes a nice bedroom window awning. We have both a 560ah 12v battery and a 320ah 48v battery for a total of 23.5kwh of LiFePo-4 battery power onboard (the equivalent of 18, 100ah Battleborns) that we built ourselves from prismatic cells for a tiny fraction of the price. We are able to run everything in our RV, including both A/Cs while charging our batteries at the same time. We can run our 12k EG-4 mini split 24/7 if needed in both cooling and heating mode, sparing our propane use. This has allowed us to replace our old propane fridge with a residential one, doubling the capacity and saving us about a pound of propane a day. Though we love using Reflectix in our coach's windshield, we don't recommend using inside of dual pane windows as the heat builds up between the glass layers which can cause the inner seal to come lose. We had to have 5 windows repaired on our coach, as the previous owner didn't know this. In single pane windows it works great but must go outside dual pane windows. Nevertheless, it's great stuff that we wouldn't be without. One tip on the inline water filter. We use a Clear 2o prefilter, and the blue Camco filters to fill our tanks, as it makes the blue filter last longer and is cleanable, so it lasts a long time too. We learned to always attach your water pressure regulator to the spigot, with the filter after the regulator. We made the mistake of putting the filter before the pressure regulator once and the water pressure was 90psi at the spigot, which caused our Clear 2o prefilter to explode. Never again.

For a weather station I use my wet finger. But I do have a super long range WiFi directional antenna with 36Db gain on a six foot fold-down mast connected to a high-gain repeater which allows upto 12kms line-of-sight connectivity to free WiFi or any local paid-service. This is priceless. Water filter, backup camera and RCD are an absolute must. Tyre pressure is monitored using screw-on tyre pressure caps. Cheap. When they go 'yellow' it's time to fill. We use a Solar Oven for slow cooking and a charcoal/wood BBQ for 'fun' cooking. Butane for quick meals. No high voltage AC anywhere except the dedicated charger for the batteries. No need for VAC, as everything can be run off 12VDC. The Van is insulated for the heat. One thing they all left out. You have to have a decent tool kit or very deep pockets. Great vid.

I have the snap pads also and I love them. But here is a very important note if you’re in places like Quartzsite where the ground is very uneven because of the rocks it is important to put a block of wood if some type under there because the snap pads will snap off.

Zero G drinking water hose is an item we started out not having. Ran into someone that did, got their take on it. They told me that have been using theirs for over a year with no problems. They said there was a break in period of about a week to ten days. During the break in period the water taste like a garden hose. We experienced that same thing for about 8 days. I bought the 50’ length, I have seldom run into needing more than a 25’ hose, but this thing is so easy to roll up and store. Definitely one of our best things to have. #BHGT18

An alternative to the Govee Digital Thermometer is a wireless cam that you can watch the pet. In our case a larger Goldendoodle. Placed in proximity of an indoor temperature and humidity sensor would also give peace of mind. You wouldn't have your warning notifications but in our case would be checking occasionally anyways.

Great video. I would divide the items mentioned into “must haves” for any RVer, and things that will make your life easier. I’m only a weekend warrior at this point. Must haves for me are the EMS, tpms, water pressure regulator, and the snap pads. Bought all but the snap pads before we took our first trip! LOL. When we get to the point of being able to travel more, I can see where my must haves will include better internet and cooking conveniences. Love your channel. Happy travels!

@YourMajesty143 4 жыл бұрын
Be careful, some of those electric impact wrenches over-torque the lug nuts. You're better off with a torque multiplier, and an actual torque wrench to gradually tighten them to your tires proper specifications, otherwise you risk stripping the threads, distorting brake rotors, & damaging the wheel, even possibly shearing off the lug stud.
@jimc5624 4 жыл бұрын
Really depends on the size of your rig. In dealing with lugnuts daily working on cars most people over torque them anyway. Most cars are 80 to 100 lbs and pickup trucks can get up to 165 but when you get to medium duty and larger the stud size increases and so does torque. Not sure about you if I can get off the side of the road faster is safer
@jimc5624 4 жыл бұрын
And semi lugnuts are torqued to 500 ft lbs so getting that set up would be a pain and I'm guessing you've never been stuck on the road with people flying by you at freeway speeds inches from your car. I drove tow truck and it's not easy

Lots of misinformation about the Buddy heaters out there. These are *catalytic* heaters, not the open flame ones from days of yore. I have been using one in small spaces for decades. They are safe for CO unless you are in a hermetically sealed space, which no RV is. You need to crack a vent to prevent moisture build up as the catalytic process they use creates water vapor.

Great points Terry. We crack a vent or window next to it and use a dehumidifier. We a many friends that use them and are good to go.
