My friend, my favorite campsite is THE NEXT ONE!!!! Reelfoot is hard to beat, except kind of close quarters......Must be very close to my favorite since I believe I have camped there about 13 times over the years, 3 times one year!!!!I really liked the site we had at the base of Quadelupe Peak!! Especially the T storm that rolled in!!!!! Fun Times...
Oh, man! I love your daughters old camper. You should do a "Matt's Review" on it. I always appreciate people who keep old equipment going. I would have watched this video earlier but Slim put up another video on his old-new cabin and I just had to watch it first. 50's already? Won't be long now before we have to start cleaning up all the leaves.
You use the filter to filter the nasty city/rural/tap water. I don't know why anybody would ask "why you do use it?" I use it and the filter on the hose. Thanks for the information!
We actually stayed at the "first come, first served" campground at the base of Devil's Tower. Got to look right up to the tower from our site. I would rate that as one of our top ten places too. We still have to get to that park in Tennessee. That looks really nice.
Why didn’t you first try to use the app’s display disconnect button then reconnect? My problem is the unit’s screen is flashing on and off on its own as if a loose wire not making a strong connection. The apps readings are normal! A hard rest as you demonstrated here may be the solution. I’ll amend this comment after I try it.
Manual crank. My motor burned out on mine and I used my power drill with a socket to wind it back in. If there's one thing I learned over the years, it's that there's always people that know more then the experts. That video of you installing the 30 Amp RV outlet was nicely done. I don't think I could have done any better. Maybe different but not better.
So cool that your channel name is turtle. There is a book called Minn of the Mississippi about a snapping turtle who starts in the swampy headwaters and travels all the way to the gulf. It's really cool because it discusses the history and geography of the locations on the way.
Geez! I had to watch this video twice. It was so relaxing that I nodded off half way through and had to go again. Nice catch with that heron on the wing. That was a calm and peaceful spot at the AirBNB. Ain't retirement grand? I wish we could do this stuff when we were younger instead of having to work. Oh well. At least we can enjoy it all now.
10, 20...wait. Where's the elevator? 🤣 I haven't seen the Mississippi headwaters yet so thanks for showing. Last time my wife and I were west of the Mississippi was 3 years ago in Arkansas. My wife is planning our next big trip to the southwest. One of the stops will be antelope canyon that you spotlighted a few videos ago. I know it's pricey but it's one of those things we got to see at least once. See, your videos do pay off. 😀
You are missing the advantages of solar power by skimping on lights, electric blankets etc., why? And running a battery down to 39% harms it unless a Lithium battery. Expand your solar to 300 watts minimum and get a 200 amp Lithium battery minimum and turn on the lights! And anything else!
I agree with you. Might be good in an office situation but an actual mini fridge would be better for the camper. At least it would cool down to where you would want it and would probably be more efficient. That said, thanks for showing this. I may still pick one up for my desk. It might be a good place to store a couple of cool ones while fiddling with the computer.
Another quick question. Where did you get the cabinet door towel units? Oh, and I applied to join the E-Pro/Geo Pro Facebook group, but have yet to hear from them. So, I'm just transcribing your video. Thanks
Factory rack is well built and they mount it very well. For sure have the factory mount. If you want the rack for kayaks you will want to drill a pin hole in the top of the rail to keep it from rolling over. For myself, I have the option of putting it in the back of my truck, so that is how i will do it.
What is the model # and dry weight of your geo-pro ! I see you pull it with a Honda ridgeline are you happy with the way it pulls your camper ? I will be picking up my 2024 Honda ridgeline in July and I want a geo-pro which I have not purchased yet ! I would really appreciate your input to help me make a decision
Mine is an 19 FD, 3200lbs. Most geo pros are okay but the ones with a slide out are closer to 4000lbs. No problem towing with Ridgeline as long as I take it slow and do not push it hard up long includes
I have a RangeRunner with the round rack bars too. I’ve had a roof top tent up there for nearly 2 years and it’s a non issue. I did have to get longer bolts to extend the plate, but that was just a quick trip to Menards.
As I was watching, I said to myself: If he's anything like me, that kayak will only go up there once and that would be the final time. I have a portable Rhino waste water tank that's made to go on the ladder. Yup, it rides in the back of the pickup now.
I completely agree with your analysis. I towed a 21 foot Hideout that was about 3200# empty and also a 24 foot Salem Cruise Lite that was around 4200# empty with a Toyota Highlander which also has a 5000lb tow rating. With a properly set up weight distribution hitch and an electric brake contoller added it was not at issue at all with either trailer. I pulled each of those trailers about 8500 miles, so towed 17000 miles or so with the Highlander and would do all of those miles again. I do now tow with an F150, but only because we got a Cougar 26RBS that weighs about 6650# dry and with a 900# tongue weight. Would not have attempted to pull the current trailer with the Highlander. Still need a properly set up weight distribution hitch with the F150 (it comes with the integrated brake controller). Smaller vehicles can definitely tow some of the smaller travel trailers without difficulty when properly set up. safe travels...
@@Turtle3863 wheres your flashing, siding box, or j channel? Is that vinyl siding? Not jumping to conclusions but if thats vinyl siding then youre not too bright.
When I saw that fish hatchery, it reminded me of the one that is actually in our development next to the Chattahoochee River. You were able to visit it and look at all the trout and walk the trails. A few months back, some nitwit decided to throw poison in the troughs and kill all the fish. Needless to say, the hatchery is now completely closed off to the public. I just don't know what gets into some people.
Extended warranties are cash cows for dealers and they rarely pay off. I just bought a trailer last weekend and they tried to sell me an extended warranty at $5K. I politely declined. Yes, I'm handy and can do most things myself. However, that was only part of the reason....some of the things I plan on upgrading would void the warranty anyway. For example, I am upgrading from Lead Acid to LiFePo batteries...that right there will likely void any warranty on the trailer electrical as they will claim it wasn't factory installed...it doesn't matter that I'm an Electronic Engineer and know electrical circuits extremely well. Installing a tongue box...yep I expect they would use that to get out of any warranty on the frame. Warranty companies tend to look for any excuse to get out of any obligations they might have. I know a guy that had a massive frame failure after only 7 months with his RV...he purchased the extended warranty, his claims were denied because they said he took it off road. The "off road" was when we was driving on a paved interstate and went through a construction zone where the pavement was stripped away for repairs. They denied his claim because of it. Extended warranties are a scam.
