Thanks so much for watching and the super nice comment! You totally made our day to refer to our content as being part of the "RV Canon". Safe travels...

Thanks guys! C had fun with the silent movie theme. And you are so right - no one knows how to merge onto an Interstate - regardless of the state. Have fun in the U.P.

Thanks so much for watching! Those are all great tips and we will certainly keep them in mind.

Thanks for watching! That's very interesting. I've never carried a tire plug kit. My theory has always been that the spare will get me to where I need to go and a tire shop can make the repair. Maybe I need to rethink that.... Regarding the mirrors, yes they are manual. Our truck does not have the Max Payload Package and came with standard mirrors. I had the dealer add them before taking delivery. The manual mirrors were $850 and the powered ones were something like $2,300. I remember telling the salesman "For that amount of money I can pull them in and out myself".

@@LuvSubbin I’ve had many times the spare was junk, or two tires got hit with nails, etc. and having the plug kit saved the day. Gotcha- you have manual mirrors. Be well, drive safe!!

Thanks for watching and the awesome "USUAL" comment - we really appreciate it. Hopefully this video will be useful to folks.

Thanks for watching! We hope this video will help someone just buying an RV. Maybe even a seasoned RV'er will get a tip or two...

Thanks Cotton Tales! Funny you mention staying at the dealership. We are terrible at Voiceovers and hate doing them. It usually requires multiple takes. This time was no exception. We absolutely mentioned staying at the dealership but that take must have been deleted and we forgot to say it in what made the video. Oh well...

Thanks for watching! Real. 🎥

Thanks for watching! Whenever I take my wheels off to pack the bearings or change tires, I absolutely see a loosening and the need to tighten per the intervals. Honestly, in between that I don't see any loosening. But stay tuned to next week because we came upon a stranded Airstreamer that lost his entire wheel going down the road...

@@LuvSubbin 😯

Thanks for watching and the super nice comment! I know we geared this for the first time buyer but we hope there is a tidbit for everyone. We like Tuesdays too...

Thanks for watching! Yes, that's what I meant - 25' extension for a total of 50'. I will, however, stand by my recommendation of tow mirrors. My previous tow vehicle was a 2001 F-150 and didn't have the tow mirrors. Having had both, I would never, ever go back and consider them one of the most significant safety upgrades we have made to our rig. Also, we have friends that relied on their back-up cam while backing up and struck a fence post causing significant damage. C is much better than any camera... 😀

Thanks for watching and total Bummer. If this becomes an issue, we'll collaborate and I'll secretly drop at 4:59 PM...

Thanks guys! We know you guys are experienced but hopefully there will be an interesting tidbit...

Thanks for watching! Yes, we love the New Hampshire seacoast and were glad to finally stay at the State Park. Like you, we've even met folks that didn't know where Vermont was. I usually explain that it's one of those little states near Canada...

Thanks for watching! The bars should move once inserted in the sockets. If it were me, I would spray some WD-40 or other penetrating oil onto the socket surfaces. Let it sit for a few minutes and then try to move them. Once they move, then you can properly lubricate them with grease. I hope that helps.

Thanks for watching and we're glad we were able to bring back some memories.

Thanks for watching! And the best part is that it is not easy to forget you have done that - not like removing the batteries or taking it entirely off the ceiling.

Thanks Mike - spoken like a true man of science. More interesting battery stuff to come (spoiler alert - we were almost left stranded on the New York State Thruway).

Thanks for watching! We're rethinking the DC to DC charging after nearly being stranded on the New York State Thruway. I totally don't understand it but this was our first long tow in hot weather and our truck wouldn't start after fueling. We needed to be jumped. Was it the lithium battery draining the truck battery? I don't know but it is an unusual coincidence...

Thanks for watching and we know many people that love their Berkey. Maybe someday. After all, it took us 22 years to change battery chemistries...

HI guys! Thanks for watching! Of course we have Michigan - it might just be colored in a light pen. We loved the Keweenaw Peninsula and the Soo Locks. There's so much in Michigan we want to see... Literally I think we could spend months there. Hope all is well and that we'll see you down the road soon.

Thanks for watching! We loved our time in Kansas and Prairie Dog State Park. Plus, that windmill was so unusual (for a couple of Vermonters)...

@@LuvSubbin We have always had windmills. We still have one functioning one that pumps water for the cattle. My farm is just south 10 miles and a few miles west of the lake. All of my family's farms had multiple windmills. Most of them have been replaced by electric pumps. Here is a fun fact, we kept goldfish in our water stock tank by the windmill. This was to keep the tank clean and to keep the overflow tube clean so the water would flow down hill to tha larger tank in the pasture. Thanks for the video it's not often I see ones about where I grew up!

Thanks for watching and the awesome comment! We've had fun with me being Amp Man but always referred to Cindy as the beautiful and powerful superheroine "Parasitic Draw". But Watt Women is 100X better! We may steal that...

Thanks for watching! Yup, we consider that stove a complete mistake. We're able to "work with it" but that should not be the case. I would replace it in a heartbeat if the opportunity arises...

Thanks for watching and we loved your comment! We love all things - the modern and the historical. That's what is great about the RV - we can explore both...

Thanks Denise! Okay, you guys were totally right. Now I have to talk with Steve about DC to DC charging as I think I may be wrong on that...

Thanks for watching! We super happy with how things worked out...

I have Lithium batteries and have installed them yet. But I also have 2, 90 watt Zamp roof top panels. I think that will solve that problem while driving!

@@Fox40-MD That has worked for me. But last year had 3 days of clouds and rain, needed to run the generator.

Thanks for watching! I'm re-thinking the DC to DC charger. Like everything I do, it will take time and data but I am not throwing that one out yet...

Thanks so much for watching! OMG, so sorry you got food poisoning. If ever you're in Vermont, I can vouch for the one in Middlebury and would suggest giving them a second chance. We liked In-n-Out as well (I think it was Utah where we visited one). Safe travels!

Thanks for watching! We love Michigan and totally have plans to do the Mitten correctly. We will do some brew tasting at Grand Rapids without a doubt. Thanks for the suggestion.

@@LuvSubbin Well, the offer is open to moochdock in our driveway for the Coast Guard Festival next year. Happy to take you guys on a beer tour of Beer City USA (Grand Rapids, MI)!!!!

@@leoreap2703 We'll see how next year goes but we certainly appreciate the invitation. A Coast Guard city known for great beer? This might be the greatest place ever...

Thanks for watching! Yes, we did. In fact, if you watch the end screen of our videos the Loon call was captured at Island Pond. Here's the link ruclips.net/video/niYbBwtuhyM/видео.html

Thanks for watching! Hmmm... Okay, I'm going to try this. Even if you're making that up, we'll all get a good laugh. Details to follow... 😀

@@LuvSubbin honestly, I’ve read this on F150 forums. I may not have the order right. But I have read that a few times. Not joking. I will try to find more precise info!

Thanks for watching! We're glad to hear that. Sometimes, simplicity works. A&W doesn't have all the bells and whistles of a Guy Fieri or some 8" tall gourmet Wagu smash burger but it just works... Classic deliciousness.

Thanks Cotton Tales! We love our roadside attractions - whether it's food or something else.

Thanks for watching! We did not use our a/c because the goal of this trip was to not use the generator. We have a Micro Air Easy Start and have used the a/c with our Honda eu2000i generator before. The light over the dinette is a "wok kettle pendant light" from lightology.com I'm not sure they still make that exact one but they have similar 12V versions. The great thing about that pendant light is that it unscrews at the base so we remove it on travel days so that it doesn't swing around.

NICE! And thanks for being the first one to watch our video. We hope that you and the others behind you enjoy it.

Thanks for watching! Our Kuppet beats the laundromat any day...

Thanks for watching! We hope our video was helpful. Leave a comment because we're interested if it worked for you like it did for us.

Science can be fun (okay, maybe still a teenager's nightmare).

Thanks for watching and your thoughtful comments. Very true about Dan Sickles (and his smashed leg). From what I recall, he was a New York politician/lawyer with little military skills. I've read a boatload of Shaara's books from all of the major wars he has written about. Yes, it's fiction but still very enjoyable...

@@LuvSubbin Thanks for the gracious reply. I've seen Sickles's leg bones at the National Museum of Health and Medicine in Silver Spring, MD. Apparently he'd take friends to visit them every July 2 (at a different site in his day). He may be the most colorful character in the Civil War, but not in a good way.

Thanks for watching! The arms should definitely move. The folks from Equal-i-zer invited us to tour their factory. While touring, I specifically asked how tight the nut at the bottom of the arm should be. They said between 60 and 100 ft/lb. I torque mine to 80 ft/lb. You will find that when hitching and unhitching, moving the arms are an important part of getting them onto the L brackets. Here's the link to the video where we toured the factory. The part that should be of interest to you is at 4:07. ruclips.net/video/mHXth1kspyI/видео.html

Thanks guys! So far so good. We tested it for four days of boondocking and never fell below 69% and that included hooking up Starlink to our inverter and downloading this video.

Thanks so much for watching and the super nice comment on our videos. Yes, supporting American workers is important to us. While I was on the phone with them, they invited us to tour their facility so hopefully we can do that (plus, Reno sounds like fun).

@@coincollector315 Thanks for watching! The water takes the place of a radiator in a car engine. There is still coolant in the engine but heat is removed from it as it passes through a raw water heat exchanger. So the raw water is cooling the coolant; not the engine directly.
