I would die on 108 miles. I drive my motorhome anywhere from 600 up to 1,000 in a single day!! Even when i think i am moving slow, my average is about 3-500 miles/day. I can make that on 1 tank of gas, so this would be extremely difficult. Pretty cool idea though. I hope it works for you guys and cant wait to see where this goes for the future.
We should be flying cars now , instead the dumb us down to this and make people happy about it. Remember. YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND LIKE IT !!!!!!!
Do you have another above the door to keep the cold and heat out as well???
Great video! Very cool idea and a fantastic production process. Thank you for sharing!
what a waste of time! and money
Thank you for this one Jim
Now I just need to figure out wtf a newton meter is in freedom units.
Its about 3.532551 eagle screams with 9d/r53 fries. Oh almost forgot, 19"`34^ cases for good measure!
Wera tools are the best!
😂 double time it. It is 😭
Nice work! That was really fun!
I'm going to alberta for a month road trip August I could test it for you and video document on Facebook and tictok Instagram. I'll test it.
Haha love it!
He should do it in umpa lumpa theme next time 😂😂😂
Since you're lithium fans, why not jettison the generator(you still have the 2nd alternator) and the propane tanks and add more lithium? please reply on if this is dooable or not. thanks, Dean
Love it! He picked great names! 😊
Remember to clean your tank with bleach. Thats why I drink botteld water.
Love this! I need some good and lightweight stuff for workouts when we aren't near a gym. Can you share the name of the bands you are using and any other top pieces you think are a "must"?
Man, I wish Winnebago would make a Solis 59a. 20 foot van with the 36a interior. Instead of 10 inches of storage you would have almost 3ft.
I wish you made custom window coverings that I could order for my Winnebago View!!! Great video and very helpful
I wish they talked about the engine power for traveling over mountains and passing tractor-trailers on the freeway.
I bought one and I LOVE it! What an excellent idea. Thank you so much!!!!!!🎉
I JUST went quick-connect this season! Yes, I've had it at my house in the past, where it's almost never moved around. WHY did it take me so long to decide it was a fantastic idea for the camper where connections are made/broken with every trip???
These filters won't stop any bacteria nor any virus. If you're not filtering at .5 microns or smaller..... your risking Montezuma's revenge. Just because you haven't got sick, doesn't mean you can't
Quick connects.... thats not a bad idea, but you dont, connect the ends together to prevent insects getting into your hoses?
One more filter where the hose meets the RV and it looks Good!
❤️🐾❤️
Wow! 🐶♥️
Nice work out I’ll definitely be doing these since I can’t bring my weight machine with me….i just gotta find the motivation to actually do it.
Not sure why CZcams took so long to show me your videos as I’ve been watching RV videos for years. But I’m so glad I found it, great information as I get ready to buy my RV and go full timing. I’m binge watching a lot of your RV basic videos now.
Glad you finally found us!
157 Fahrenheit?? Where do you live, the sun??
Best review🎉thanks
Nice video, though its more of a walkthrough, but not a review
$400k and they don't even paint the door jambs. NO THANKS!
Built to be sold to the 1 percent of economic population
And to be honest, if I'm going overland I'd rather be roughing it then all that luxury. If I really needed att that it would be better to just stay in my mega house and pay someone to go out and take the pictures. Ill buy that $5000 overland teardrop
Is there kitchen ?
When can we buy this beauty
I was ready for cringe, but only had smiles. 😊 Nicely done!
Was it hard to install the back up camera?
Thanks! Only problem I ran into was not realizing I’d need to cut a couple of the wires that don’t have built in connectors, and had to get some butt connectors to splice them back together.
Fun fact, approx 30% of adults who try jump roping, will break a bone! Lmao P.s. I have no idea if that’s true or not.
Also, it would help greatly to drink a litre of milk a day and take a K2 supplement 😊
I'm buying this on Amazon soon as my Jayco Terrain 19Y is almost ready for pick up!
Hello. I will be renting a Solis in a month. I am trying to figure out a mount for my tablet whether on the windshield or in a cup holder. Do you have a suggestion?
In the choice of RV A vs. RV B the battery capacity makes a huge difference to me. I plan to be mostly in the Southwest and RV A has 6.5kWh and RV B is 16.8kWh. RV A is considerably less money. So I wonder if it’s worth it to buy RVA and rip out the entire system and replace it.
My Maxxaire fan installed in October of 2020 suffered the "Blinking Green Light of Death". Which after researching I found to be a common occurrence known to Maxxaire 😡 🤪. A work around I found was to either run the fan on 30% or lower speed or to run at 100% speed in AUTO mode. I did this from December 2020 to February 2024. I finally bought a new circuit board and installed it. Problems went away. Now March of 2024 the Maxxaire is mysteriously turning itself on and off and changing speeds 🙃 👻. Im in humid south Texas and I'm certain its the moisture problem explained in this video. Its totally unacceptable that Maxxaire makes such a defective product, yet demands premium pricing!! When dealing with customer service they had me jumping through so many hoops, I simply gave up. Their cutomer service is worse than the DMV!! 💩 What type of RV electronics/electrical manufacturing makes a component that cant handle 14.4 volts!! That is common and industry standard on solar power systems. Also how hard is it to seal a PCB?!?!
A tour de force! That's a pretty tricky thing to tackle. Bravo!
I cringed at the title ... but it actually turned out pretty entertaining and funny. 😅Not the sound of music or Hamilton but very well done. lol On par with Buffy the Vampire Slayer "Once more with Feeling" musical episode! 👍😜
I got a Haul Guage thats similar to this and its pretty much spot on. It says its within 5% on the instructions of being accurate but Ive found thats its been within 150 to 175 pounds under or over what a cat scale tells me mine is. I'm never close to being top end weight for me so thats close enough for me to avoid going to the car scale everytime. I heard that curt bought the rights to weigh gauge but I can't confirm that and if they did weigh is still being sold as a separate product.
Fun!…But is it affordable….😊
My empty milk-cartons filled with water work well too 😊
