Thank you!

Good input! I’ll need to look into that! Thank you

If you get one of the rows closest, you can a little.

@@KolbyAdventures-qi2yr my campsite backs up to the beach parking lot. The only thing in the way is the sand dune.

Then most likely you will be able to hear the ocean.

I am happy you enjoyed it. Thank you

They do / are supposed to as listed in the lease.

Thank you. Yes I am actively trying to find some legal support.

I have my opinion on it. :/

Thank you!

I agree! This will pass with time! Thank you!

I am very happy in the fact that I took a ton of pictures before I left. Now the fight is just getting the insurance company and facility to listen. Thank you!

I do have insurance but they are trying to deny the claim. It’s been a fun time … :/ Thanks!

Thank you! It’s been a rough thing to deal with.

Colorado has change a lot over the 30 years I’ve lived here.

I do but the insurance is playing game claiming I don’t even though the policy calls out “storage unit” :(

Agreed! It’s an indoor ”secure/monitored” facility. It turns out the facility knew my lock was no longer on the unit many months ago and they never tried to call or investigate. Of course their video only goes back 30 days and by the time I found out we are well past that.

@@KolbyAdventures-qi2yrsounds like an inside job.

I agree. It is sad. I just hope it’s only good people moving forward! Thank you!

This is great and my recommendation to people moving forward. All you need to do is make sure you have power and wifi.

The sad part is the police found out that the storage facility wrote down that my lock was no longer on my unit about 4 months ago prior to me coming back to find it had been raided. They never tried to contact me. It’s an indoor and “monitored” facility. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever use a storage facility again.

@@KolbyAdventures-qi2yr wow! 😮 I hope you can pursue legal action.

@@KolbyAdventures-qi2yr years ago when I was in the military, a guy in my unit had everything he and his family owned stolen out of storage. They had triplets and were waiting on housing. Horrible! You’re better off buying a shed and putting it on family property and having them monitor it.

Agreed! I am currently looking into my legal action options. I was hoping it wouldn’t have come to this.

Thank you!

Thank you! I wouldn’t wish this on anyone! Are you able to shed some light on how you plan to secure? Is it a camera and motion sensor? How are you getting wifi/signal to it?

@@KolbyAdventures-qi2yr your welcome. Sir, this will be new to me so I will be learning myself. My first idea is a cellular trailcam. Ive used them in our investigations dept and it alerts your cellphone of activity. Works on cellular and we have had it in some pretty rurasl areas here. The one we use is the Spypoint Flex. Im assuming your talking about your vehicle but can be used for storage which I def will be doing until we sell the owner a security system which will work off hardwire or cellular

@@KolbyAdventures-qi2yr they also have alot of hidden camera option these days. Be glad to share some with you.

Ohhh a cellular trail cam should do the ticket! Thanks for the info!

Thank you. I agree, as long as I am able to get insurance to cover which has not been a promising process. Absolutely, I’ll get the link added!

I’m have been there many times. December, January, and February. It is one of the best places to spend winter in my opinion. I would say the lows are typically in the 50’s but when storms come through it can still get cold. I only had one night that dipped below freezing this winter. The highs were typically in the 70’s. It can be windy, this year it wasn’t very bad. Just a couple of storms! :)

@@KolbyAdventures-qi2yr Thank you for the info? We are going there December and Jan

That is a great time to be there. It can be windy sometimes but last year was pretty great! Maybe I’ll see you there!

@@KolbyAdventures-qi2yr have two months reserved a t campsite across the beach parking lot so it will a short walk to the beach. I saw in your other video that someone robbed you sorry to hear that.

That’s going to be great! Honestly there isn’t really a bad spot in padre. It’s a great place to spend the winter! Make sure you check out comedy night at isla grand. They usually have some pretty good talent come in! It’s on Thursday nights. I did. Thank you. It has been a stressful time, but that is temporary!

Hey, I don’t think I fully follow your question. If the batteries are low and you hook up to shore power to charge, the inverter should be off and run your loads on the shore power. Was that your question? Thank you!

@@KolbyAdventures-qi2yr Thanks for that. I'm new to this and couldn't contact the previous owner. Thanks again

Thank you for following along! I highly recommend it! We live in a beautiful world with a lot of amazing things to see! Safe travels!

You are welcome! Thank you for watching!

Absolutely! I hope it is helpful!

You are going to love it! It has been amazing! There is a much freedom! I hope you have the time of your life!

I'm trying my best! Thank you for the support!

Hey, I would say it is important. You do not want to over torque and strip the plug. I obviously didn't use one in this video but I would recommend it if you haven't worked a wrench much before!

The repair video is scheduled to go live tomorrow!! It was a fun one.

Thank you Jose! I think Maui had a good time!!!

Thank you for the kind comment! I am loving this setup. I truly never worry about not having power! Thank you for the tip on the heat guns!

I truly hope you do! It is beautiful!!! Thank you Jose!

Hey Donny. The chargers are on a circuit that gets turned off when boondocking, so there is no endless cycle of the battery running the inverter to run the charger to charge the battery. That would kill the capacity pretty quick! Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for clarifying! I do recall you talking about that breaker now too. So, when on shore power this will now charger quicker, got it

The pals I tried going through was only a drive through, the rv doesn’t fit, and I was being too introverted to want to walk through the drive-through 🤣 it’s on my list though. I’ve heard it’s good! Thanks for the recommendation!

All the Starlink ones I’ve found require you to cut open the dishy. I am defiantly not wanting to get that into but I agree finding ways to run things on 12v is so much more efficient than using the inverter to 120v. Thank you for the comment!

Thank you Jose! There is a lot more to come!!

That sounds like a great install! I'm happy to hear it is treating you well. I'm loving my setup! Happy travels 🤙🏼

I booked my spot about 2 months in advanced. When my parents came down for a few days I booked their spot the same day. Just keep checking the website. There are A TON of people constantly canceling their reservations. I hope you get one! It's a great location. I Dont know I could handle the summer heat 🤣

Im happy the video was able to help!

Also, do you have a video of you building your batteries? How difficult was it? I'm pretty handy but just hesitant to mess with building a battery!

The fridge was installed by the previous owner. Here is a link to it. uniqueappliances.com/en-us/products/unique-170-litre-white-12-24-dc-refrigerator-freezer?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=7a03a7d52&pr_rec_pid=8729636733211&pr_ref_pid=8729619202331&pr_seq=uniform The battery build was super simple. I have had the cells for a few years, if I were to do it today, I would probably just buy a pre-made battery. Will Prowse has a ton of good reviews and a ton of information. The main benefit to making your own battery is its size ... The price isn't as big of an advantage as it was 2+ years ago. Here is one of Wills videos showing how to make the battery. czcams.com/video/3U4ZfQ_IToI/video.html Have a great one!

It is not a rough install at all!! It is a great upgrade over that factory fan I had.

Thank you Jose!

Thank you for the confidence boost that I’m getting enough views for you to comment first! I appreciate the views and all your interaction. I hope you are doing well!

🤣 I agree but I still have been making do with everything except a hammer!
