Here is the reason your peal and stick backsplash is not sticking in some areas, it is caused form the wall not cleaned and prep very well. You may want to apply some heat to the area that is not sticking. You can just use a hear dryer, just make sure you set the dryer on med. heat and do not keep the dryer in one spot, move it around. Touch the tile now and then, making sure you are not burring the till. Now apply pursuer to the tile and hold it in place for a few seconds. Hope this will help.

@slofiz5336 4 года назад

if it is warm outside dont use the bathroom sink. use the kitchen sink to wash hands when there is humidity in the air.

@Terryblount 4 года назад

The work around for the $300 bathroom max air fan is to put a $28 12v automotive fan in your window. They will suck out all the hot air inside within a few minutes. Your ac won't have to work so hard to cool down your rig. These fans are very fast so you will need a $1.75 variable speed switch and for $2 you can add a switch that will run the fan either direction.

A $100 tailgate generator will charge batteries for 2 hours on 50 cents worth of gas. It would take about 100 years to spend enough on gen gas to equal the cost of a solar system.

The bidet I installed on my AS isn’t a seat, it’s hose attached to the sink. There’s a valve for the sink and the nozzle. Nice warm water and to clean you and also the toilet without touching. Just removed the bubbler and put it on. Never leaks. Not saying better, it’s nice for me, another option.

Now that was funny. As you were finishing your video, I was scanning all your questions to see if anyone mentioned the locks. I've heard other RVers say that they didn't like theirs because they could not tighten them up enough to have them stay steady. AND then Jason came on with his "bonus" question. Thanks Jason. :) :)

@GetawayCouple 4 года назад

haha, perfect! Glad we could answer your question. We haven't had an issue with our lock not being tight enough, that's unfortunate others have. We did have to buy the extra sticker thing because it didn't cover the old hole completely.

The best thing you could do for your bathroom sink is add a 99 cent strainer so your contacts, jewelry, hearing aids, etc. Don't end up in your holding tank. They might get caught in the P trap but in an RV all that drain piping is glued together.

I posted a video of 101 RV tips and mods but one thing I would add to this video is to carry a flair gun for security. They cost $45 at Walmart and they are legal everywhere.

Great idea to install the Bidet. We have one in the house and never thought of in the MH. So I bought one like yours and installed it. I have the Thetford Aqua-Magic Style II which it looks like is the same as you. I have an issue with the install, the t-coupler that allows the bidet line to tap off the toilet line will not fit on the toilet fittings. The t-coupler is just a shade too big. Did you have a similar problem with your install? What did you do about it. Thanks

@scottturner6975 4 года назад

@GetawayCouple 4 года назад

Hi Scott! The SeeLevel monitors have been great! We really like being able to tell exactly what level we're at when dumping and flushing our tanks. We were hoping to put the fresh water tank monitoring to better use while boondocking but with current times, haven't been able to to that too much yet. It might not be our first purchase if we got another rig but it would be on the list, so it's definitely worth the money.

@ramblingamblin4649 4 года назад

Hey y’all! Couple questions. Saw that Battleborn has finally added your package to their site. Since we are in the 310GK, I think this will be ideal for us as well. I was planning on adding solar panels, but you mentioned having an onboard generator. We have one, so my question is with your configuration how long do you estimate it would take to fully charge off the generator? Next question, do you know if they still do the suspension and brake upgrades at the GD rally’s? And since you have read this to the end, here is your RV lock tip. Order extra number decals because they do eventually crack. Looking forward to getting our new chairs. Thanks! Safe Travels!

@GetawayCouple 4 года назад

Hi there! We have a 3500W generator from Harbor Freight and we'd say it can charge our six Battle Born Batteries in about 6 hours if we're using both inverters (from 0% to 100%). This is an estimate though since we have never charged from 0% to time it. Also, keep in mind, that timeframe would be doubled if you had one inverter. The MultiPlus has a charge current limit of 70 amps. Since you have an onboard generator you could install the system and test it out for a bit to see if you'd even need to install solar panel to supplement your charging power. And yes, we did get our package on Battle Born's website! If you do end up purchasing from them, we'd appreciate it if you used our affiliate link :) Also, I do believe the vendors still do brake and suspension upgrades at rallies. They typically have special pricing at rallies too so it's always nice to snag those deals! Hope this helps, happy travels!

Getaway Couple Perfect thanks 😊

@ramblingamblin4649 4 года назад

Oh, just curious, what are the registration numbers under your front cap?

@Mark_Mertz 4 года назад

@@GetawayCouple The 70A limit is for the 24V Multiplus. For those staying at 12V, it is 120A. They really get the job done. I am by no means an expert and only have a single Multiplus but I believe that with two Multiplus in split phase configuration only one inverter charges. That is why some people with two Multiplus inverters put them in parallel so they get benefit of both inverters charging batteries. However, doing that has the drawback of making your minimum shore power draw 15A rather than 7.5A. (Everything is a tradeoff in life.) Anyway, love your channel. You two are amazing. Keep up the great work!
