My doors don't go down to the floor. They are more like a hatch style, I'm wondering if this would work for me with the weight of the ac unit pushing down on that frame. I'll have to take a closer look and see. I like your idea best.Also did you use one of those U shaped units or just standard window unit?

I am seriously considering a Venturist but I saw on another KZfaq video that stated the door does not seal well and the aluminum is actually quite flimsy allowing dust and even light to show through. Thoughts? Also, if one looks up Runaway Venturist + issues, there is another article which says that the composite roof on the camper begins to sag and eventually crack! Again, I am not trying to start anything here but I don't want to drop $15k and have this happen. Have you observed anything like this on your rig after the past 2 years? Thanks...

To hang stuff on the walls permanently get some sheet rock plastic pitchure hangers short ones so they do not go thru to out side ...Get some rubber mats that look like puzzel pieces for the floor it would help keep the floor warmer too and easy to clean come in assorted colors .. Make sure carpet is on the ceiling would help with condesation and you can use velcro on it too hang stuff up ...

My wife and myself burst out laughing when you mentioned the food in Italy and not for the reasons you may think. Our son just recently moved to Naples for work and his assessment of the food and restaurants was almost exactly the same word for word as yours. He will be hiking Sorento tomorrow not sure which trail. I think there will be less crowds due to the weather. BTW we are also from New Orleans and know good food.

I’ve been going to BBNP for 30 years. Rice Tank has been my campsite dozens of times. It’s so named for Fred Rice, the rancher who settled that area for years. The tank - and why there is still so much greenery - is what he created to water his livestock. It still retains more moisture than the surrounding area.

This is hilarious to me. Italian food is objectively top notch. You try to drop that you've been to 30 countries to make yourself sound qualified, but your dropping of NOLA and packaged salami makes it clear what you value: SALT. It's fine if you don't appreciate freshness and prefer heavy seasoning, but its laughable to say Italian food in Italy is a disappointment. Maybe it shows your lack of discernment in picking restaurants, but it probably just reveals your lack of a developed palate
@OutoftheOfficeAdventures Жыл бұрын
Can't help it. Sure I'm no sophisticated foodie, but just saying. Lamest food and dining experiences I've ever had. Not awful. But about as boring as boring as math class in high school. I'm not sure it's a salt thing. Maybe just more seasoning and life. And I didn't find it all that fresh, fruit selection isn't that great, unlike many other places. I found the restaurants boring too...And no, I have no developed palate or food sophistication. It's not my thing. But still, in so many places I've been how can Italy be so boring? Never had a problem picking restaurants anywhere else. Just saying, IMO, the most overrated cuisine and food I've ever experienced. Restaurant wines sucked too. Tasted like MD 20/20, and I couldn't find a decent cab. Guess I'm just not sophisticated enough for Italy. 🤷

Well you are wrong. My son just moved to Naples and his assessment of the food and restaurants was exactly the same as even to the availability of fruit. I think you are projecting and it is your lack of experience with restaurants and a underdeveloped palate on your part. When packaged salami is better than the food offered at a restaurant it is clear the food in area in not top notch. My son was even disappointed in the bread in the area. BTW I am from New Orleans also, I guarantee any local home kitchen cook can out cook what my son has be served while in Italy.

The term you're looking for is "door bolt." A little awning over the AC unit will also keep the sun off the unit, improving its performance on clear days. So it's a dual-purpose solution you're talking about. You could also use some rubber molding to seal the tiny gaps along the seams to keep out the weather. In any case, the composite body means you can just throw down a towel below the opening and live with it. Using the door opening is a genius idea to someone like me, who didn't think of it, already. You know it's genius, when it's so obvious AFTER somebody shows you. I was thinking about using the AC opening that'll come with mine to rig up something similar to what you're doing for a HEATER from October to May or June. Up here in Northern Idaho, there're still a lot of cold, wet nights through May, and only a few days with high 80s or 90s, if any, so AC isn't strictly necessary until June. Regardless, your idea is less invasive. The seals around the AC box will never be better than the original install, especially with a doofus like me tearing things up. I can try a number of different heater setups, and all that I'll be vandalizing is a sheet of plywood!

For me and my wife , we find food is hit and miss. Worse yet , tourists bring a hype to food that , well mentally up their rating of it simply because they expect it to be good , and therefore then believe it is. I've had good food on vacation, and crap , all over. We mostly cook for ourselves when on vacay. My friends deride us for it.

Great solution but with your type of window, why not use a portable a/c unit ?Could even make a black painted attachment point for the exhaust and it would blen in with window tint. For boondocking, how efficient is this with a generator?
@harrymills2770 Жыл бұрын
I think a 1,000-Watt generator would be enough to power a 5,000-BTU AC unit, like the one that the Runaway factory installs. You can get a pretty small, pretty quiet generator for $500 or less that'll do that for you, and run all night or all day on not much more than a half-gallon of fuel. Small as these trailers are, you could probably cut that 5,000 BTUs by half, and still keep up pretty easy, especially if you do as I do and park it under a canopy shelter during the summer. I also do it in winter, but I park part-way under instead of all the way under. According to Duck, you can operate a 5,000 BTU AC unit off a 100 amp-hour lithium battery for about 3 hours. A 100 amp-hour lead-acid battery maybe an hour and a half. I'm pretty sure that's continuous operation, which you wouldn't be doing, but it takes a lotta solar, a lotta battery, and a lotta sun. If you're on the desert, a swamp cooler works quite well. Low humidity makes the water want to evaporate more, harnessing the latent heat of vaporization at ambient temperature and pressure. If you're out West, you probably just want a swamp cooler. If you're in the southeast or midwest, you definitely don't want a swamp cooler. You need an actual compressor to force the Gas Laws along. But if it's dry where you're at, a swamp cooler just needs water and enough juice to run a fan, which is WAY less power than an air conditioner. But it does use a lot of water, which may not be good in the desert. If you're a snow bird, you can just follow the temperature gradient north or head to higher elevations. I lived in Gunnison, Colorado for 7 years, and you would never need AC at all n the summer. Runaway caters to the people in their region, and rightly so, and Westerners and Northerners are given a very basic setup they can modify. I think Runaway's stock AC is pretty beefy, so a fool can go out in the sun in 100-degree weather and 95% humidity, and bask in air-conditioned comfort as long as he can keep the power on, even if the windows are open to let out the cigarette smoke. Seems like the majority of Runaway people stick to places where there's shore power. Maybe that's just because campgrounds are the easiest places for folks to congregate, so that's all I see. I see more and more videos of people who camp/live off-grid in them. I went ahead and got the AC with my Venturist. You kinda have to special-order them NOT to put it in. But they've had years of trial-and-error and settled on the cheapest, most bulletproof setup possible. For some reason, I have this inordinate fear of having a window in the front of the trailer. In my mind, it's just too likely to sustain rock damage. I never did a study on the likelihood of rock damage, but I never once considered it an inordinate risk to have a windshield in the front of my truck! Besides, if I were paranoid about rock damage, it'd be easy to put a cowling over the window while driving.

After 50 years of camping in just about every way possible, I’ve come to the conclusion it’s not what you camp in, it’s where you camp. Being piled on top of one another in an RV park (for me) is not camping either, regardless of what’s over your head. I’ll take an amenity filled RV in the middle of nowhere any day. The older you get, the more you don’t care as much about needing those comforts
