    So glad to hear you guys brew tea. I am 70 year old Texan who has drank tea all my life. Moved to KC when I was 10 and befriended a neighbor behind us. They invited me for dinner. When we sat down to eat they had a pitcher of fresh cold milk
    Yuk! I’m not a big milk person. But I thought all KC people didn’t know about southern iced tea.
    My friend’s dad owned the McDonalds right behind Truman Corners Shopping Center.
    Thank God we moved back to Texas when I was 15. But I still have a great love for KC and have always been a Chiefs fan.

    Congrats on your new rig. Boy, it sure is big! And I'll bet it's heavy too. I hope you never get stuck in the mud or sand and it's not too big to fit in the boondocking places you like to go. We have a 36ft motorhome and sometimes find it difficult to get a site in FS and NP campgrounds so end up boondocking instead. It's a lightweight gasser with a tag axle so doesn't sink in that bad. We've never gotten stuck, even though we've gone to some pretty remote locations across fields and sand washes and down some pretty muddy and rutted FS roads over the last 5 yrs.
    You've sure got plenty of batteries, but it looks like you could use a little more solar, (an easy add) but other than that, you appear to have all your ducks in a row. We only have 23.5 kwh of batteries, but over 5 kw of solar. This is enough to run both our rooftop A/C and mini split while we charge our batteries, even in winter. I think you guys use more power than we do, though we can run everything we need just like we're plugged into a pedestal at an RV park. We boondock almost all the time and find that our 50-gallon black tank will last the 2 of us about a month, but as long as we make it the 2-week camping limit, we're golden. We even transfer 15-20 gallons of gray water over into our black tank to stretch our tank's capacity to last 2-week BLM and FS limit. The extra water helps our black tank empty more completely too. We filter our water both going into our tank, and under the sink, but you have a much better filtration system than we do for sure. Take care!

    We have 460ah of Lithium, and we can run 1 A/C and the Microwave off it at the same time without issue. We also have a 12v compressor fridge that is always on. When we are in full sun with our 875w or solar we can just barely keep up with that 1 A/C unit all day. At night we can get about 5 hours of use out of our batteries if it is warm out.

    Oh wow u got a sweet setup for boon docking now, awesome actually. And the water setup is also very good. I just finished watching other videos on the composting toilet, finally understand the maintenance of those, n yeah i'll keep my black tank 😂. N yeah no one has mentioned the macerator needs more water! Oops!
    So it's not a good boon docking gadget anymore than tankless water heaters unless u have a recirculating gizmo to not waste water. Dang, It's like so much was really made for full hook site usage. 🍻

  • @roadhog6603
    @roadhog6603 Před měsícem +1

    It's better to have the particulate filter first before the softener. The macerator should have a water conservation mode that uses very little water. My wife and I can easily go 14 days on a macerator toilet. "If Todd can do it, so can you"! 👍

      After 3 years and doing a few boondocking times we thought we had a good idea but it seems we are always learning other ideas. We could of done a combination to tanks but honestly we thought it may cause more smell control because we never had these types of toilets before. We will do an update after a year and see where it all sits. Thanks for your thoughts.

      Great question but not with the model we have. There is no way to open the seal without pushing a button- now we might be able to push both buttons like we do for travel day to get rid of all water- but I only get it times correctly about 1 out of 5 times so then I’d be wasting more water to try that ….so yeah still learning this.

      @SwitchItUpLife  Před měsícem

      Well.. it's a great point. The problem was we were not aware how much waste water their would be from the system. It isn't bad at all it's just that we should have it run to the other side because of sitting outside we don't want to be thinking of any water on this side. We do love the Simpure System though. So it's a learning curve.

    I have a question on the water so when you’re having an opportunity to connect to a water source, I’m guessing you have to send that water into your freshwater tank so that all the treatments are utilized if you were just to go from a direct water source in a campground right into your waterlines you would not have Filtered or reverse osmosis water

    Harvest Host - 150 dollars and we used it 5 times. So 30 dollars per stay plus the recommended 30 dollar spending, which is usually for us closer to 50. So 80 bucks per night and I can stay at full hookup KOA's etc for less than that. We love the stays.. but be aware of the actual cost.

    • @SwitchItUpLife
      @SwitchItUpLife  Před měsícem

      All depends on how much you use it I guess - we use it multiple times per month - often at least once a week so that 100 per year membership is a lot less than 30 per stay for us. But good tip for people to really realize how many times they will use it! Thanks for taking the time to help others!

    I would gently advise you to rethink not adding alkaninity in your reverse osmosis system sooner than later. RO removes essential minerals and alkaninity, decreasing amounts of salt in the blood. Each of your body's cells use ion charge electrical potential differences between sodium and potassium to generate the electricity inside you to perform all bodily functions (sodium-potassium pump).
    If your cells run short of the required sodium level, your cells adjust by taking up more and more water. If you already moderate your dietary sodium intake as many people do to promote heart health, the shortage of alkalines from RO systems can become critical after a RO only ingestion over a period of weeks of boondocking. Consequently, the cells will swell from the additional thirst driven water intake. If this leads to transport of high amounts of water to the brain, it may be extremely harmful.
    Apology for the novel, but boondocking can harm your health if you are uninformed about these modern RV efficiency systems.
    I keep a 5 lb jug supply of fine grain pink salt when desert boondocking for the possibility that my retail water sources use Reverse Osmosis.

      So you have been able to get the rig into and out of a few spots now. From a boondocking experience how is the rig for consumption of power vs solar intake?

      Hey there! The documentary is a great binge watch 😉 and you can find it under the join feature called Fan- we post RV Reviews there as well but currently that’s where the documentary series is available at.

    Todd you should hook up with the guy in Florida looking for the big python, he has hundreds of shorts on YT. He goes out looking for pythons and other animals that do not belong in Florida.

    Don't minimize your CZcams channel too much guys, as us Canadians that follow you guys & gals, CZcams is our link to what's going on, where we unfortunately can't spend as much time in the U.S. and like myself tucked away in the western corner of B.C. don't have the luxury to catch up with much of the group! Nonetheless, our Class A Tiffin, allows us to go two weeks before dumping the black tank (no macerator here), and our 100 gallons of water lasts us well enough, 'albeit' we tend to not boondocks a lot, but once in a while for 3 - 4 days. We do have four Lithium house batteries, so 400 Ah, and our residential fridge does drain them somewhat, so our generator is needed when boon docking, which perturbs my wife, saying she can smell diesel! Thanks Todd for the basement instruction on the many components etc.

    Yeah you would love for 2 or 3 K people to attend your huddle
    As it only cost you an arm & leg to attend and to top it of have the huddles in a high price resorts people are so naive they dont realize their just putting money in your pocket, its not like you're some big celebrity.

      I've enjoyed the channel so far and expect that I will continue to.

      From what I’ve watch, I don’t believe they force you to attend huddles. I think what they are doing is awesome. I personally would love to meet at a huddle. It’s just money, we can make more tomorrow plus I’m sure it isn’t cheap to put a huddle on.
