Thank you for subscribing, That was my fear with the stove was the bouncing along on its feet would tear it up. After all these campers ride like they are on a cloud lol

Thank you, We have put a lot of miles on this smoker and so far so good. We have cooked almost every dinner on this thing this summer on our west road trip

We accidently found Cloudcroft and had limited time to explore, That area is on our bucket list for spending a lot more time.

Yes, I can say we have gotten most of our money out of the investment for sure. Long term it was the wise decision as it allows us to work at our pace vs working flat out on a rental

Yeah Ryan needs to learn to read the specs on Amazon products lol

Contact Midnite solar support([email protected] or 360-403-7207) Shawn is the best to speak to on the MN5048DIY. He handles all repairs on that product.

Glad it helped

I have no doubt they can be, The one we got was obviously used out of the box

The old technology used a huge transformer internally, almost every manufacturer has moved to what is being called High Frequency but what that means in a nutshell is that instead of a single inverter and HUGE autotransformer they use a very small light weight transformer on the output of two inverter sections and reduce weight. The High Frequency uses a lot better switching electronics and switches at a much higher frequency allowing for more efficiency and high surge ratings.

No problem, Glad it helped

We certainly are, Nothing has changed we still love the Mr Cool and it is still performing as it always has.

@@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 great to hear. I'm looking into possibility installing the diy unit. Most of the videos I've seen imo seem to be sponsored ads.

But it was worth it

Yeah the lack of the low idle button is an issue, I expect if you get a decent one they work ok but this one was a dud

We actually did Mt Washington a few years ago. There was enough pressure change our bag of chips popped on the way up, that sure startled both of us! It has some impressive drops and close edges too! The wind at the top was crazy.

We really enjoy the pitboss especially this summer on the road

Thank you!!

Yes absolutely, you could tell just watching my reactions in the video as more and more indicators became present it was a used generator. I wish they had another one in stock to have done a true comparison but am not sad with my harbor freight predator, It is cheap enough if someone steals it when we are on the road, I won't be super bummed

Good to know, we sure did enjoy the NM state parks

One of the nice things about making your own dog food is you can customize it to your dogs nutritional needs. Adding veggies like green beans and carrots to a balanced diet can help your dog feel full without adding significant calories. It's always best to consult with your vet but for an otherwise healthy dog this can be a good solution.

Yeah they sucked for sure, mobile Starlink is the way to go for us, A little pricey but dang it works amazing

Other than to make sure the battery is charged and connected, You could check all the fuses. After that its going to be trouble shooting the issue by verifying its getting switched DC etc

@@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 yeah battery is charged I was thinking of looking for the fuse box but it's not easy to find it in this poor design.

Thanks for the input, we are always working to make better content!

Hah well it isnt actually that heavy luckilly.

Yes after a month or so living with it we are very happy with the changes.

Yes we did, Will have to make a video one of these days

@@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 would love to see it.

@@RVDumpStation it isnt anything very special but it should be in a future video. We shot a short bit of it in our upcoming Deming NM video

The cord may "Look" Shady as hell but as a licensed professional I can assure you electrically it is perfectly fine. I would not use it long term as it has no water resistance in any way but for a test the proper size wire nuts on the twisted wire connections is perfectly sound and common practice. I would venture a guess the house you are currently in has many connections made the same way. Plenty safe and perfectly capable of handling the current with no issues. Again we would not run it for anything more than a test but it is perfectly capable of handling the current and would not add to the issue of the generator not being any good.

You may note we figured out early on in the video this generator was used. It had gas in it, it had oil in it, the box was double taped. Simple fact is this particular model has a ton of online reviews showing its a lemon. The predecessor of this model was rock solid from what we can read online. Either way we are super happy with our harbor freight inverter generator, and it does what we need done so all is well that ends well. We were very shocked to see a used generator in stock in Lowes with GAS in it. You're telling me they do not check returns and just thrown them on the shelf? Morral of that story look for double tape on the box and investigate before you drive 3hrs to find its a lemon.

Patch is still there; we did intend to replace that sheet of metal at some point but temporary can become permanent so quickly lol

@@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 Well hey man it worked and looks like it'll keep the rain out! I watched your video to brush up a lil bit before I repaired a couple of spots on a metal roof. It's nice to see folks who actually repair the damaged area with the same material instead of just patching it with tape. Thanks again for the post!

I am not sure, Look around the base of the engine for a screw in sensor with 1 or 2 wires coming out of it

Well for right or wrong we used basic 80/90 gear oil

Pretty interesting

Autozone, But any place like Harbor freight or maybe Ace hardware etc should have one

Yes 2 would work perfect, Say red of SPD1 to L1, Black of SPD1 to Neutral. Red of SPD2 to L2 and then you have the black it could also go to Neutral or either of the L1 or L2

The outdoor unit is pre filled with refrigerant, We didn't have to add any

It was a very refreshing stop. I loved the campground and the lady who owns it is SUPER nice

Yes, I know now after talking to Industrial and a few others that not torquing to 140ft lbs and then a hot retorque was the culprit

Soory I read that as check not deck, No the block did not get decked at that time

​@@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497i ran through the exact same issue. Fresh o-ringed head. My block was within spec, but definitely not as flat as a fresh deck. I didn't have the time or money to pull the engine and deck it. I did do the hot re-torque. My head gasket eventually leaked. Head studs got hit by coolant, corroded and started snapping. So I got to do it all over again! This time I did the whole bottom end.

It really is, We could not pass it up, Even if we dont keep it long term.

No it fit just fine, I think if you had done any more than 4 inch it would be an issue though

Can you be more specific, what part of the wiring are you thinking we may not have done correctly?

@@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 i’m only asking if wiring the indoor unit 123 only needs to match the outside unit 123. As I referenced videos and the installation guide, I noticed everything I saw had units that came with a cord already attached. I noticed my unit had a cord just like yours. It caught me off guard because every diagram speaks about blue wire, yellow wire and obviously a red and a black, but they would not specify anything about what goes where. Every video and everything I saw told me that the wire should be labeled and my wires definitely were not labeled. if you could just verify matching the 123 indoor and outdoor than I think I’m completely good. It was a setback for me yesterday.

Prices have gone up for us also but not even close to .26 cents

Long story, We have a few videos recapping but it now has a brand new Industrial Injection rebuild in it and running great so far.

@@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 beautiful, I’ll check it out. Good luck!
