You can have a surge protector hard wired installed within you electrical bay, your power cord would then be plugged directly into the electrical power panel at the RV park. Just as easy as hooking up your water supply hose. No more back breaking plugging, unplugging into the portable surge protector.

@LizAmazing Год назад

That is starting to look like a GREAT answer. Thanks so much for this!

@markpillori Год назад

👆 yes, high on your upgrade list should be an internal surge protector! I hated to see you bent over at the hip trying to pull up on the plug. Very bad for your back. Never bend over! Always bend at the knees and squat. Hope you have many many miles of trouble free RVing!

@mowguy1 Год назад

The good news about the surge protector is that it's more difficult for someone to walk off with. Seriously the hardwired one would be my choice.

@Paintide Год назад

That would be one option, but I am unfamiliar with the lifespan of high voltage SPs these days? Otherwise, tap in two windshield tools on either side and pry in unison, their built for it and non conducting.

@BajaGirl302 Год назад

That’s what I was going to suggest also. Like already said, it’s hardwired into your bay. 🥰

@rhondagoldberg8419 Год назад

Liz, I'm so happy for you! What a fantastic new home; it looks spacious and extremely comfortable. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors. ❤

@LizAmazing Год назад

Thanks so much Rhonda, sure appreciate your love and support!

@chrisflavelle1200 Год назад

Nice coach Liz. Enjoy! To get rid of the corrosion on the terminals and connections, neutralize it with a mix of water and baking soda. Invest in a terminal cleaning brush from any auto parts store and then when you're ready to reconnect everything, put a very light coating of the dielectric or plain Vaseline on every connection. This will slow down the formation of the corrosion and make the removal of the connections much easier if and when you decide to replace or need to change out a battery.

@steiny3353 Год назад

Chris Flavelle That's good advice, Chris.....works well

@jaytt4639 Год назад

I bought the little kit from auto zone and it includes a round felt pad to put down too. So far so good

@traveler320ak7 Год назад

And when cleaning the battery terminals wear safety glasses just in case.

@steves3688 Год назад

For Sure! Great advice!

@mjo8856 Год назад

Chris is right Liz. That's quite a bit of corrosion. I would take both connections off (negative first, then positive) and clean them really well. Pay attention to the terminal. If the acid had eaten through they may need to be replaced. Wear protective glasses and old clothes when cleaning with the sofa water. You will splatter and that acid will eat through clothes. There will be lots of green foam. Change the soda water and keep cleaning until all clean. Take a terminal connection brush and clean the posts and inside the terminal connectors before installing back (positive first, then negative). My dad used bearing grease to goop up the terminals to prevent corrosion. Something I do to this day. They do make a terminal corrosion spray, but I haven't tried it out. An earlier post said something about Cola. Don't do that. You will have a sticky mess. Anyway, lots of RU-vid videos out there for the process. Just my two cents.

@chuckles1357 Год назад

Thank you for the wonderful channel, Liz! I am learning a lot, though I am a new subscriber. My husband passed away a year ago and now, at the ripe old age of 67, I am thinking about going out on the open road... though I am scared to death at the thought of being alone. You are doing beautifully even by yourself, and it gives me hope! I would keep my house and just go on shorter trips to start, i think. I will keep watching for all of your tips and tricks! thanks!

@LizAmazing Год назад

Yes, just take baby steps. You may even wish to join a club of other solo RVers and travel as a group. Sorry about your loss, I am sure it has been a rough year. Good for you for trying new things! And welcome to the channel, looking forward to meeting you on the road.

Nice RV! We now have a residential refrigerator in our motorhome but we did love the propane one. My husband lived in ours for five years working at a US Air Force base. We never had any trouble with the propane freezer and it did not cause freezer burn that we ever saw. Still miss that little refrigerator! Happy travels to you ❤️

@jimg2885 Год назад

Liz that is a nice RV. Alfa built a very nice coach and I love the ceiling height. The full body paint is a great upgrade. Very happy for you and wish you the best in your travels. One thing that I do after my back surgery per my doctors advise, he said to not sit longer than 30 minutes which it sounds like you go from sitting and then stand up. He advised me to walk just a little bit to move around and then go to sitting or standing. It has really helped me. Take care and glad you seem to be doing well.

@LizAmazing Год назад

Hi Jim, sorry you've also been through back surgery. That's true that keeping it moving is very helpful. Thanks for watching and take care of your back.

@user-jd8of6up1o Год назад

Hi Liz. For your problems with disconnecting the electric cord. Many times the connection inside at contacts of blade into sleeve for electric power transfer is intended to be tight to help eliminate heat and burnt terminals due to loose connection. Leave the plug in your surge protector and you or another person you trust cut a notch in the floor of the compartment or install one of the much larger plastic rings in the compartment floor ( sold at rv places or online ) I did the larger ring on a Monaco class A I had last year. I fought the unplugging until I changed out the little plastic ring for much bigger. Enjoy and have fun Glen

@LizAmazing Год назад

Thanks Glen. I am reluctant to cut a hole in the outside of my motorhome though. I may get something installed inside. Still thinking on it. Thanks for watching.

Hi Liz- Terrific layout!. Looks extremely comfy. A few ideas you may find helpful- I am terrified of the gas stove and hate using it. I purchased a cook top like yours, but most of the time,it is not practical when cooking for two or when we have dinner guests, so… I got a Cuisinart griddle/waffle maker. Works great for sandwiches, burgers, etc…and can even toast bread perfectly. Also got a Proctor Silex electric pot- perfect for boiling everything! My best appliance is my All-Clad electric frying pan- use it to cook everything from short ribs, pot roast to fish. With those appliances and the convection microwave, I never turn on the stove. My doggies were always accidentally turning on the knobs on the stove. While browsing a thrift shop, found a brand new set of stove knob covers. Fantastic find! No more hitting the knobs. Travel safely and look forward to sharing more of your adventures. 👍🏻🙏❤️😀

@faroutgolf3650 Год назад

This older Alfa is pure class. It reminds me of owning an older Mercedes Benz 300 TD. I've only rented an RV once from Ca. to Utah. St. George to Salt Lake City. Clean the terminals with a brush and vinegar wipe off with paper towels then reconnect the terminal and apply lithium grease on top of terminals.. Use your gloves unless you feel adventurous..😇

@bbcooter388 Год назад

Don't clean your terminals with vinegar, vinegar is an acid and you have acid (sulfuric acid) buildup on the terminals. I don't know what could happen when you mix two acids, but I wouldn't want to find out. Use a solution of baking soda and water to clean your terminals, the baking soda will neutralize the sulfuric acid. Additionally, I recommend you install treated felt washers on each terminal when you re-install your cables to the batteries. You can find them at auto parts stores near the new battery section. These felt washers are treated to neutralize the acid coning up from the battery posts and will prevent (or severely retard) the terminal corrosion.

@LizAmazing Год назад

Thank you. I cleaned the terminals with baking soda and water but still need to apply a coat of something to the terminals. Thanks for the reminder, and for watching.

@mikewatkins978 Год назад

Morning Liz, I had almost the same issue with my shore power plug, I found a door trim removing tool used by professional auto repair shops, Snap-On, Matco and most tool vendors carry them, they have a nice beveled tip that can be slid in between the two half's of the connection and then the prying force is directed vertically up the center of the plug instead of from the side, when the pressure is from the side the plug pins bind in the sockets and that's why it's so hard to separate them. Hope this helps, You could use a screwdriver to pry them apart but most people don't think to get the cord disconnected before shoving a metal screwdriver tip into an electric plug so I can't suggest that.

@LizAmazing Год назад

And then I googled something, Mike, that said even if the rig is unplugged you can still get a shock if you touch metal to the prongs. Thanks for your tip, and for watching.

@donoberley3582 Год назад

Hi Liz, love the new coach. As to your sticky connection,clean off the grease so can see where the blades are rubbing . There should be shiny scratches or brighter areas where the friction occurs. Then take some emery cloth and work on these areas checking your progress frequently so as not to remove too much material. If it’s way out of a good fit use a file to remove the bulk of the material , then finish with the emery cloth. The other option is to return the unit for one that fits better. This may not be an option. Good luck.

@LizAmazing Год назад

@corinnejohnson3839 Год назад

Nice unit! As for the batteries, baking soda and vinegar and a brass bristle brush. Some have said that pouring Coca-Cola on the terminals will work. After you clean the terminals and posts, there is a battery terminal spray you can use. It coats everything and helps prevent the corrosion. Can you make the hole for your power cord larger? You could make it large enough to fit the surge protector through, just make sure you keep some sort of cover on it to keep rodents out. Enjoy your new RV!

@LizAmazing Год назад

Thanks Corinne, I thought about cutting a hole but would rather not. It has a nifty little cap for the hole now so I think I will not do that. I may install a built-in surge protector though. And thanks for the battery tip!

@rvdivaa2334 Год назад

Liz so proud of you! I too pull a 40Ft 2007 Tiffin Phaeton with a 24 Ft trailer, housing my Mini Cooper, Harley, golf cart and electric bike. I started off towing a Nissan Titan, and yes it can be towed with a drive shaft disconnect. Now I pull a ATC trailer which is all aluminum, so for weight restrictions it helps, so I can carry my toys all weather gear and my Costco supplies. I will tell you it takes about 2 years to get the rig the way you want it. I have upgraded everything from water filtration with uv sterilizer, added deionized system to wash the rig spot free, to a full residential refrigerator and a whole host of other upgrades. I just left the Elkhart area and if you need service, customizations call Paul’s Rv interior in Wakarusa, Indiana. I had them install a custom shower wall, security cameras and a few other things I am pleased with their work. So when I am not in Red Bay, AL at Tiffin, I’ll come here. I went to EQ systems and changed out my leveling jack system now it runs off my phone and love it. I have a Truma tankless water heater and went to the factory to get my antifreeze kit installed and got educated right from the manufacturer it was great. I tell people all the time not to buy brand new, I got burned with two brand new units and had nothing but problems. You are well on your way enjoy your condo on wheels! Be safe happy motoring 😊

@LizAmazing Год назад

HI there! Thanks so much for your comment. I may need to go to Elkhart! I want a new shower and just to replace the fiberglass one with a new one I was quoted $5000! Yikes. And this was from the old Alfa dealer that now services all the Alfas. I am sure there are many other upgrades I will want to do. I am stationary for the winter so I can get some of these projects taken care of. It's true that the new ones are much worse. Thanks for your love and support!!!

Baking soda, water and a wire brush can be used to clean battery terminals. after cleaned, a spray of clear coat or battery terminal protectant spray helps prevent future corrosion. Good luck and thanks for sharing your new RV.

@LizAmazing Год назад

@timhardman4764 Год назад

Well done Video - full of good info - quick paced - good videography !! A++ For the surge protector issue I'd look for one that fits through the hole in the compartment floor or make that whole bigger to fit the surge protector you have. Making the hole bigger (assuming no obstructions underneath) is something you could do along with mounting a new cover plate for the new hole size. You really do have a beautiful rig.

@LizAmazing Год назад

Thanks so much for your comment, Tim. I actually bought a smaller surge protector that would fit in the hole...BUT I learned the hard way that it will NOT fit when plugged in. I am reluctant to cut a hole in the rig so I am leaning towards a hard-wired surge protector. Thanks so VERY much for your kind words!!! Big hugs to you!

Liz, My wife and I have been watching you over the past few years. While Watching this video, on your new rig, I applaud you for mentioning Cargo Carrying Capacity, (CCC)! It’s the number one most important factor when buying an RV, “safety”! My wife and I have been RVing now for about seven years, (3rigs), I’ve been RVing and tent camping since I was a little boy. It amazes me that no salesman will bring it up and most people either don’t have an interest in it or don’t realize it’s importance while shopping! Having said that, it made me subscribe to your channel! Keep up the great videos, good luck on your new adventures!

Nice choice on the new home. That's a tour bus in disguise! Yes, that interior height is great. Especially for any future resale. Not everyone is under 6'5"! as most other motorhomes. That massive windshield will be nice during bad weather. Not so claustrophobic. Hope you have a giant reflector/cover for the hot days. Tire pressure monitor system? No? Definitely install! Can save your life! Same for the towed. Yes on the induction cook top! Future, remove the gas top, install a residential unit. Much safer, cleaner, more efficient, and less interior moisture. Can you haul the bicycle in the under/belly compartment, without injury to your back? Maybe on a slide out tray? Let us know your MPG! And for gosh sakes, dont drive into any sandy parking!

@LizAmazing Год назад

HI Clark! A definite no to a sandy lot, LOL. I am getting just over 6mpg but both trips I've done so far were hilly. In my next fillup I expect those numbers to go up slightly. The motorhome has a power shade in the front, quite handy! I thought about that for the bike but it just won't fit in the compartment. Darn. But I will be doing a future video about bike theft prevention and a smart solution I found. And stay tuned as I will be talking about TPMS in an upcoming video. Thanks for your comment!

What a gorgeous coach! You got as close to perfect as you could find for yourself! ❤️ Congratulations!! We prefer our propane fridge and the oven. But we do use an induction and use almost exclusively cast iron for it. Great cooktop! I'm with you on the power cord issue! Help!

@paulontheroad Год назад

@@LizAmazing Actually you probably should use a flat tip screwdriver with an insulated handle so there would be no risk of electrocution. If you do use this method then you will have to move from side to side because you won't get it to come apart just prying on one side. I had to do that every time I needed to take the surge protector off the cable.

Another great video. Just a safety note… do not get a conductive cooktop or range if you or anyone else has a medical device implant like a pacemaker or medicine pump. The conductive range is a magnet and will, without question, turn your device off.

Great choice on your Alfa Liz. Alfa is a brand designed for full timers by full timers. Interesting story how the Alfa came about, if you’re familiar with John Crean Sr the founder of Fleetwood RV,his son John Crean Jr worked for him & he wanted to change things up. John Sr was not a full time RV’er but John Jr was so Jr wanted to build a line of coaches for full timers & Sr said no, if it’s not broke why fix it Sr said. Long story short,they had words & Jr left & started his own company he called Alfa & the last thing he said to his dad was see ya. That’s where the See Ya name comes from. They later reconciled in later years before John Sr passed away.

Looks like quite a few people have given good information on battery care. If you decide to stay with lead acid batteries I suggest getting the remote water fill kit for batteries. It saves a ton of time and makes keeping the water topped off in your batteries a simple procedure. You can find them on Amazon.

@LizAmazing Год назад

Great tip. Thank you! Since this video I did another one about my batteries, check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jVB5USrMhgM.html And thanks for watching!

@rayduke7433 Год назад

Liz, congratulations on your new coach, it looks like it’s a perfect fit for your needs. To clean your batteries simply mix about 1 part baking soda and 4 parts water. Using a toothbrush or small paintbrush apply the solution to the terminals cleaning them thoroughly. Then remove the cables from the terminals and use a battery terminal brush to clean the battery terminals and cable ends well. Put everything back together and make sure the cables are tight. For your 50 amp connection have you tried plugging it directly into a 50 amp outlet to see how hard it is to remove? It may be the female connector of your surge protector that’s the issue.

@LizAmazing Год назад

That's a great point about the 50amp plug. Yes, no problems at all with the RV plug. This is a brand new surge protector and it does NOT seem to be getting any easier. Thanks for watching.

@Powerstroke98 Год назад

With this type of setup, I've always kept a large screwdriver with me, to pry the surge protector from the head of the main wire harness. MAKE SURE, you are unplugged from the post/120/240 before ever doing this of course. I've never had an issue doing so, although it's slowly getting easier the more I use it. Enjoy your new wheels Liz, and thanks for the tour. I recently switched my four house batteries to Battleborn Lithium batteries, as I have the residential fridge in our '08 Phaeton, where overnight I don't have to worry about the batteries going below the 50% mark, and they charge quicker as well. Obviously much lighter in weight too, but I'd get your battery connections cleaned up, and hopefully you'll watch it much closer, as those are nasty! I see others have told you the solution to dilute and rid yourself of the corrosion. Stay safe, and enjoy your e-bike, as we sure do!

@LizAmazing Год назад

Thanks you two! I have heard that if you touch the metal prongs with a screwdriver you'll still risk a shock (coming from the RV). Others have said to use plastic wedges and a mallet so I may do that. Thanks for your tips and for watching.

@kensoutham6828 Год назад

Shouldn’t be any back current coming from the RV as your generator interconnect switch will cut power to the shore power cable. Other bad things would happen to your RV electrical system if this was the case. Definitely make sure the surge protector is unplugged from the service post before using the screw driver to pry the surge protector from the shore power cable.

Thanks Doug. I've heard you can give yourself a shock if the screwdriver touches the metal prong so be careful. Another commenter recommended a mallet and plastic wedges so I may try that. Thanks for watching.
