@@AdventureRocks Are you available this weekend?

I hear you, great point. Here's a video I did on adding a 2nd higher quality tablet: czcams.com/video/xN6H-_tu6Vk/video.htmlsi=_urgoyGIZEpgJMcv Basically I wanted to retain the OEM cloud functionality, which the original OEM tablet is needed for, but I wanted a more robust tablet so the 2nd connects via bluetooth and is more robust.

Great point

I'm with you 100%

Thank you

That is frustrating for sure. Sorry to hear

I hear you, great point

Saving up years in advance and paying cash is a lot of hard work on the front end, but definitely worth it in the end to avoid interest and have no payments.

I use my Google maps via Android Auto. GMs built-in nav is nearly the same thing being Google powered, but it does require a data connection to be fully operational, which of course is an extra monthly fee via OnStar unless you use your phone as hotspot to provide WiFi to truck. All that to say using Google maps via Android Auto and your phone is simpler and more up to date with traffic and routes. 16:13 vs 16:50 is a good comparision between the two.

@@AdventureRocks Thanks for the response, I would like to have the option to input my trailers dimensions and have whatever map I'm using pick a route avoiding low bridges etc. Google maps doesn't have that capability right?

@@jbyrne9073 Good point. No, I don't believe Google maps supports that feature yet. Most of my travels are in SE where we don't have as many of those low bridges, but I'm with you especially if you have a fifth wheel that is taller.

Oh shucks, that is disappointing. 35 foot isn't too long either. Thanks for sharing.

@@AdventureRocks I call Schrader who makes75% of the GM TPMs they say 23 ‘ is max but have had some at greater distance that work

@@timsmiththesmiths8106 Wow 23' sounds a little short. I know on my last RAM and 44' fifth wheel I measured 28' from rear axle of truck to rear trailer tire and it worked flawlessly. I wonder if other factors like propane tanks or metal objects significantly reduce it.

@@AdventureRocks that’s possible, I do know that GM does not make a booster/repeater for this system so I just decided against it, which is a shame but not going to spend the money for install then not have it work

@@timsmiththesmiths8106 The receiver is mounted behind the license plates on these trucks. Dumb location. I've seen posts from guys who have fabbed up some simple drop brackets to mount this sensor down lower with great results.

Great question. I am actually testing the new 5G model out currently and plan to review it in the coming weeks. It's very promising.

Just regular octane per manufacturer. And same while towing. I use 87 where I live. I've never tried premium grade on it, not yet at least.

Thank you, appreciate that. It's a fun trailer.

I hear you. That'd be nice whether towing or off-road, etc.

@@AdventureRocks Yes, and in talking to friends or family that have tried to get their truck reprogrammed by a dealer or another shop that does mechanical and tires, no one is cooperative in wanting to change the parameters and I sense its because of possible liability reasons. Its completely insane, all vehicles before the invention of the TPMS one puts the air that is required into the tire for the purpose at hand ( having a tire chart and real time axle weights to work off of ) and now dealers or even tire shops will put the air pressure in the tires that the door jamb lists and not even listen to the customer who knows they drive the vehicle almost empty. Logic has become a rare commodity these days, perhaps I am the odd one out but it boggles my mind !

@@charlesb4267 For sure, good point

@@charlesb4267 I borrowed an Autel programmer from a friend to do this on my truck. I set the TPMS desired pressure to 45 PSI all around since the truck rides much better that way when not towing, and the weight is bang on with the Michelin specs for the tires on my truck. I run 50 front, 45 rear when not towing. 55 all around when towing my travel trailer.

I hear you. I personally would not recommend 80 while towing. Things can happen so fast and slowing down can make all the difference to react. But, that's just personal preference.

@@AdventureRocks your definitely right but at the same time I couldn’t imagine driving 2,000 miles at 65 mph an no more. That would be atrocious

Maybe brand new, but since mine is used I'm selling for less. Here's the official ad with build sheet and pricing: facebook.com/share/4N7xD8pkgykke3sJ/

Thank you. Great story. I remember mine were loose under rear seat, no label or bag.

@@AdventureRocks yeah so now if I wanna see the pressure I have to hook up to my work dump trailer lol. Some day I'll replace them

@@nutzthomas lol...always something to contend with :)

No just pressure in truck tires.

The Ford system is about $600. Overpriced but necessary.

@@reberhardt wow, that does seem expensive. I think it was $445 on my 2021 RAM 3500.

Great tip. I didn't even think of that or realize it was possible. Thank you.

I'm enjoying it, but thanks for asking!

Thank you. I've got a similar one on a Renogy lithium here: czcams.com/video/6Bt7CI7QZ7s/video.html Basically the biggest obstacle is swapping out converter/charger, as oftentimes RV manufacturers ship with an outdated converter/charger that is designed for lead-acid batteries with a different charging profile/floating voltage comapred to lithium, so if you don't swap the charger (or converter/charger if it is an all-in-one like the NoBo 10.6), then you'll only get about 80% charge or so on the lithium. This can vary so you'll hear about some folks not updating the charger...but it is true you'll limit use of lithium if you're using a lead-acid-based charger. Anyway, NoBo may have changed this on the more current model years so double check on yours in advance. Otherwise if your converter/charger is lithium compatible, it's as easy as dropping in the new lithium battery and duplicating connections. Battleborn makes great batteries, but in today's times there are a lot of other brands that make great lithium batteries at a more affordable price (even more affordable than Renogy).

Thank you very much!

Great points. Thank you.

Thank you

Great question. There are different sizes of alternators on engines, some even have dual alternators. I think you could reach the limit of your engine's alternator and then need a larger or second one if running multiple appliances off it. The DC-DC charger you mentioned is very similar to the EcoFlow alternator/charger, so it could be too much depending on size of existing engine alternator.

Usually if a breaker is tripping repeatedly it indicates overdrawn amperage, meaning the AC is pulling too much current. Typically an AC is on its own breaker, usually 20A or higher. There could be an issue in the 120V power feeding AC, or some component in AC is failing causing it to pull more amps than expected. Hard to say...a lot of factors, and more diagnosis needed by a tech perhaps, but I don't think my solution in this video will solve your problem unfortunately. I'm sorry about that and hope you all can figure it out.

Great question! So right at 0:33 I started a load (wash cycle) and then it got to the dry cycle around 18:30. Hope this helps!

@@AdventureRocks It's pretty quiet. But it wasn't really distinguishable. I could definitely notice it, though. Sorry about that, I was just wondering.

@AdventureRocks Like I was wondering if at all possible? Is there Anyway, you can start a dry cycle and just film like 5 minutes of it, because you would be so surprised that L. G cannot even help me with this. They don't even have a video of their own product.

Why are you selling it? Very solid build!

@@bbruton77 Onto the next project! Gotta make room and $$. Otherwise I'd hold onto it as it's so versatile.

Thank you, I appreciate that. It's a really fun trailer. And a lot of the fun for me was also personalizing it. Really nice shell you get to work with. I hope your build goes smoothly. Enjoy!

After initial testing on your vehicle, it's designed to be permanently installed on the vehicle with the hardware in trunk or bed. The cables are shielded for install. Idea is to have a go-to charging source that will guarantee the rate 100% of time and make use of existing car engine/alternator compared to solar...slower and dependent on sun. It's a nice add-on for existing EcoFlow users with Delta series power stations.

@@AdventureRocks would it make me replace my car battery more frequently?

@@timothyyoon8771 it's possible one could argue additional wear and tear on your car's alternator and battery using it, but I don't think it would be a significant amount to the point you would be excessively replacing either component.

@@timothyyoon8771 Great question!

Agreed!

I hear you. I really wish there was a warning/alert for main tailgate. I only get an alert if the inner/multipro is open.

Just fine! It seems to be a great replacement. No issues.

Thank you. Great tip on hinge.

Thanks for tip! Great for a company to stand behind their product!

With the way it folds on the bed/floor the mattress takes up most of the space between two floor planels when folded...maybe if they were super thin and spread out? It could compress the mattress over time? However, there is some surplus room on either side of the ladder where it stores before closing the outer hardshell...plenty of space there. I guess that's one downside to mention.

Ahhh got it . Thanks for the reply I have their nomadic 3 and looking to upgrade but I like to leave my sleeping bags inside from time to time . Maybe this is out of the picture. Haha cool video thanks

@@torresharbin I hear you, one extra step involved unfortunately.

@AdventureRocks yea I just don't like having to fill my car with sleeping bags pillows and blankets so it helps to just keep it in the tent. Appreciate your response have a good one

As best I can tell it is like a toy hauler jackknife sofa...just has Lippert Components listed on tag...no specific model I can see. Not sure if they list on their site, but here's a link just in case: www.lippert.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=murphy%20bed%20jackknife%20sofa

Mine is 120V due to compressor demands: czcams.com/video/btpii1mjy_s/video.html It has WiFi connectivity so I can easily monitor while it is stored (I keep mine plugged into to shore power in storage). I would imagine we'll start seeing some better 12V dehumifiers come to market soon with advances in compressor technology though.

Great point. There are some larger ones, but more a bit more expensive. ICECO just released one in aluminum that I plan to test and feature soon.

Thank you! It's a really fun trailer. Buying used is smart as you'll save a good bit.
