@Sea-Shed 3 года назад

First off, Happy Anniversary!! Second, dumping in the morning with a cup of coffee!? You need to enjoy the moment. Just before sunset layout a blanket next to the sewer hose. Bring out some snacks, adult beverages, and play some music (Don't go chasing waterfalls, my favorite). Nothing more relaxing then the sound of a good dump. You might want to add a link to the Hughes Autoformers PWD50-EPO Power Watchdog Smart Bluetooth Surge Protector Plus EPO with Auto Shutoff - 50 Amp Portable Version. It is one of the best rated on the market. I like that I can monitor the power with my phone. Plus if you get a big surge, you don't have to replace the unit, just add another $36 module. Safe Travels!

You can always check with multi-meter neutral to the ground to see if you have continuity that will tell you if you have an open ground. You can also check from the outside of the disconnect to the ground plug to see if there is continuity. You bought a good meter, Klein tools are some of the best.

Just want you two to know I am binge watching your videos. Discovered you recently and I keep coming back for more. My husband enjoys you, too. You are so entertaining and uplifting and funny. I greatly admire that you are also first responders, which makes you heroes. So glad you have struck a balance in your lives and that you are really living life so well. My husband and I spent a year out on the road in our 5th wheel and thoroughly enjoyed it. We hope to be able to do it again. We toured the perimeter of the USA, starting from our home base in Oregon, to Idaho to visit our son, and across the upper states (loved Glacier NP and the upper peninsula of Michigan - want to go back) and into Canada (the maritimes). Spent quite a bit of time in Maine, down the east coast, and wintered in Florida. We did that in a 2002 McKenzie Monaco Medallion 5th wheel (wonderful) from May 2014 to May 2015. We now have a 2017 Highland Ridge Open Range Light 5th wheel. We drove to Wisconsin to get it in October 2017. We love your adventures.

Finally a video where someone actually had a problem with their 50amp connection. I always hear people talk about having surge protector and I even mentioned one time on a huge RU-vidr's video about him not having a surge protector and I pretty got the brush off with his answer because as he said "I've been doing this for years and have never once needed it. It's a waste of money." To me that's not very smart advice because if your power supply gets zapped by a surge of electricity your entire electrical system can get fried. I'm happy you were able to experience the issue first hand and show why it's a good idea to have the surge protector. I'm coming home soon. The election here went in the wrong direction and it's time to say Adios to Peru. I'll probably be leaving end of August. Hugs from Logan and me. Thanks again for the fun and informative videos.

I heard from another couple that actually lost their electrical due to not having a surge protector, right after beginning our journey began. I’m so glad we bought one, as we have been in Florida for 6 months now, and experience thunderstorms almost daily(especially now that it’s warmer). Thanks for sharing, as I’d rather get advice from others, than from making the mistake firsthand. One more tip regarding FL summer weather esp. We also watched people’s awnings get torn to shreds, while they are away from their sites. I always retract it when leaving ours now, as these storms pop up out of nowhere, and create strong winds. It’s a terrible thing to watch and not be able to help stop the damage. We bought tie downs with springs at the base, that are working great for breezy days, and sites near the beach, etc.Happy travels in FL to you!

@HappilyEverHanks 3 года назад

Hey John!! Oh my goodness, that is such a bummer...Yes, there are so many thunderstorms right?! You can never go wrong with always bringing your awnings in!!

@hauntmaster2005 3 года назад

We experienced a lot with power issues when were boondocking. We have a 2001 Holiday Rambler 34' fifth wheel that has a 240volt 50 amp system. We were told a 5500 watt portable generator would be enough. What we found that was not accurate. The 5500 rated generator would trip off if over 3000 watts. Watts = volts x amps. So we up graded to a 7500 watt generator. Now these portable generators are good for 12 hours of continuous use before they need to shutdown and rest, according to the manufacturer. So we purchased a second generator for 24 hour use. It was nice to have duel fuel generators because propane can stored in larger storage capacity tanks but you can get gasoline anywhere anytime. We had found propane burns about 1 pound per hour where gasoline is closer to 0.75 gallon per hour due to the difference in fuel BTU ratings. Hope that helps.

I always plug in my surge protector to test the pedestal before I unhook from my truck. That way if I need to move I don’t have to hitch back up again. I’m also getting a generator (an inverter generator) for a few reasons. One of them is because I live in “hurricane Florida” and I want to be able to leave if a big hurricane comes and be able to set up camp anywhere. Many campgrounds fill up quick when a storm like that comes in so I may get stuck without electric. Nope! I don’t camp without electric. 🤣😂

I have a 2016 solitude and I wanted an onan generator installed. Approximate cost for 5500LP generator $4500, plus $1500 for parts, then approximately $2000 to $3000 for labor. This was to expensive in my opinion so I ended up buying 2 onan 4500 portable generators cost for both $ 2300 plus $100 for parallel connection for 50 amp ability. So 9000w instead of 5500w. I decided to mount both generators in bed of truck between cab and 5th wheel hitch. Height matched my bed rails. Temporary locked them down until I get a hard bed cover installed to secure them. I’m extremely happy I went this way over the onan being installed directly in 5th wheel compartment. Easier to service generators, plus can operate on 1 if other needs work. Something you might want to look into as an option

@HappilyEverHanks 3 года назад

Hey Darrell!! That is so awesome that you are part of the Grand Design family!! WOW you have an amazing set up Darrell! If we start looking more extensively into buying a generator, we will be following what you mentioned here. You sound very knowledgeable! Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this information out for us and everyone reading 😃🙌🏼 Do you have any big upcoming trips or vacations planned in the near future? Are you looking at going to any Grand Design rally's this year?

@darrellgordon9748 3 года назад

Well, I plan to leave Washington state around Sept, travel south for winter. Come spring I want to head to Maine and start working downwards toward Florida. Finally retired and am full time now and want to see as much as possible. Love nature, history and science, so won’t be doing Broadway shows🤣. Ad for Grand Design rally maybe in 2022. Not able this year.

@jimcollins8097 3 года назад

Not criticizing, but with your setup if/when you go somewhere in your truck the trailer is left without power? Also be aware of possible damage to your truck wheel bearings with your generators running due to a phenomenon called brinneling. Back when new cars were shipped by rail they would sometimes arrive with bad front wheel bearings due to the vibration on the stationary bearings.

@HappilyEverHanks 3 года назад

Love hearing this Darrell!! You are living life to the fullest and doing it the right way 😊👍🏼We are so happy for you!! Love us some broadway shows as well!! Stay in touch friend, keep these great comments coming!!!

@darrellgordon9748 3 года назад

@@jimcollins8097 Your correct that without the truck close to Rv the generators become useless, but the generators are for emergency use (power outages) or for boondocking. Not intended for full time (24/7/365). Even regular generator set up on RV’s are not intended for full time use. As for now vibrating issues, my Diesel engine is like 50 times more then these 2 generators combined. My point was for me I found a cheaper/better/more powerful option then the norm. For the cost difference I could replace the wheel bearings many times over if the vibration were to cause them to fail. Again these generators I purchased weigh only 120 lbs each and any vibration are very minor from what I experience. Thanks for the information tho👍. Never hurts to be aware of possible issues

On your aux fans for your fridge, I also added fans for our dometic. I put the fans at the top blowing out. I also installed a baffle to direct the air drawn in at the bottom across the fins. Doing it this way works with natural convection (heat rises), while blowing in at the top is working against natural convection. The baffle stops air from just churning inside the compartment.

Good call on the power connection! But I agree, I am always concerned that when the tech shows up they may say, “it is all fine”. I don’t trust that, if the inline surge protector is throwing an error then there is a problem, but a way to double check is to put a dog bone on the cable and connect to the 15 amp and see if you get the same error. Love your video of the river, we carry kayaks with us on our truck rack but I like the idea of floating and being able to just lay back and relax, what was an amazing place. Happy anniversary BTW!

@HappilyEverHanks 3 года назад

Awww thank so much!! Yes, we totally agree with you on that point. We are concerned that we may run into this one day, but that is what the surge protector is there for. No room for human error! So if we do ever run into that, we will probably just end up finding a different spot to stay. At the end of the day it’s our home on wheels and we wanna do everything to protect it 🙂👍🏼 Hopefully we can all meet up for some paddling soon, would love to get on the river with you guys!! 😃

Awesome video as always, ya’ll are hilarious and informative. I also have the Viar RV air compressor. You talked about an adapter, I got one but didn’t really help. The Viar is a high PSI but low volume compressor. Wasn’t a benefit, look for a high volume one like the air bed compressors that are designed to push a lot of air. Keep up the great work!!!! Safe travels
