When you hook up to shore power, shore power takes over. Depending on your RV and how it is hooked up, the batteries may or may not still be getting charged from solar. The AC power trickle charge on the battery will likely take over. But like I said, it depends on how everything is hooked up.

Yep, and what ya gotta do is tow within your means! Lol, thanks for watching!

I saw that, that would be nice. Maybe I'm just getting old and haven't rode a bike enough, lol! I had a straight top rail mountain bike for years and it never bugged me. Maybe I'll just get used to this one. Thanks for watching!

Why?!? Because I have a real job and a real life outside of UA-cam. I do UA-cam on a very part time basis. So, when I have camping trips scheduled, I shoot videos. Sometimes it's ideal conditions, sometimes it's not!

Thank you! It was a great property and we really enjoyed it. I hope you find something, thanks for watching!

Maybe it takes out passengers?

That's above my pay grade, lol! All I have to say is: just because you swap an engine out, that doesn't mean the rest of the vehicle can handle the additional stresses of a heavier load. Thanks for watching.

There is a fuse on the positive wire.

THANK YOU!! I agree with everything you said. I don't understand it either and I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one out there that thinks this way. Thanks for the comment and watching!

Yep, exactly!

Sorry, it can be confusing. I tried to make it as simple as I could, lol! Thanks for watching.

Baskets would be a nice addition. Although, I have used the cutting board. Thanks for watching.

Good point! Thanks for the comment and watching.

Sounds like a solid tent! Especially since it's so old. Thanks for the comment and watching!

@@ColoradoCamperman On one camping trip in lower Illinois, it got super windy and the only thing that happened was that one wall bowed in slightly. I had bought a propane camping stove with 2 burners at Costco. It had 25,000 btu burners for both burners and my friend was amazed that the stove was even cooking in those gale force winds. I had to agree, as the flames were\ going sideways even with the windscreens. With a Coleman kerosene stove, we were sure the flame would have been snuffed out. I found that those on the hot side, only cook at 14,500 btu and the other burner would cook at 7,250 btu and both would have to be on full. With the propane stove, you could independently control the heat. I also found out that the average kitchen stove is 14,500 btu.

We had one just like that last year… it didn’t even last one season. The zippers on both doors were so cheap they both tore out after 3 camping trips. It was also pretty useless during any rain (obviously since it’s just a screen room) but it tended to collapse when water gathered in the center of the roof. We were also frustrated we couldn’t “twist it back down” to the smaller storage size. We got ours off of Amazon, so I’m sure it was a cheaper overseas nock off of the real thing. We found a more traditional screen room tent with nice magnetic doors at camping world.

Since I don't live down there, I didn't know about those issues. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comment and watching!

The base is $9,900 now and the model I got is $10,700. They were $1,000 off when I bought it because it was an old model. The new models have a hydraulic cooler that mine doesn't have, wish it did.

@@ColoradoCamperman Nice. I, like you did, are deciding if it is worth the drive.

@@kicker6274 Yeah, it was definitely a long drive! I'm still liking it though. I wish they did a better job at engine access though. It's a PITA to access the engine.

@@ColoradoCamperman Looks like there is now a dealer in NM, so that's good for both of us.

Where are you at?

@@ColoradoCamperman Near Canon City. Not sure if it is worth the drive to OK.

@@kicker6274 NM is definitely closer and their prices are the same as OK.

Still working great!

We still love our gazelle screen room! It is amazing. You will enjoy it. Thanks for the comment and watching.

It's worth a try! It definitely helped me. I'm still getting a ton of dust from my wheel wells. I need to use spray foam or something to fill that gap.

It has to be plugged into a 12 volt or 120 volt source.

Huh?

We sold that property last year, it is in huerfano county in Southern Colorado. Prices are a lot different than when we bought our land. Thanks for watching and have fun finding something!

Moving the panels for the proper angle and with the sun makes a huge difference! Thanks for watching!

I see where you are coming from. I wouldn't say NEVER use a powerwasher. I've been in the painting business for 20 years. I've seen plenty of homeowner's mess up fences, decks, concrete, and more with a powerwasher. Does that mean that we don't powerwash those surfaces because you can damage them? No. Someone who knows what they're doing with a powerwasher, can use it to do this job. An extension pole can definitely help! Thanks for watching.

I would check your county regulations. Some counties require permits to get a shipping container because people will buy them and build a cabin out of the container. If it's tucked in and out of sight from the road and/or satellite imagery, you'd probably be fine. Just FYI, some counties do use satellite images to enforce their regulations. My aunt had an off-grid cabin that her husband built around 25 years ago when the laws/regulations for their county were different. The county found out about the cabin once they updated their system to detect buildings based on satellites images. They tried to enforce their new laws on their old cabin. It was pretty ridiculous!

@ColoradoCamperman Wow that's crazy because when I was trying to decide what I was going to do when I first bought my recreational land, I spoke with an electrician yo get a quote on electrical service and he told me that the township Supervisor was using satellite images to enforce zoning codes and I wasn't sure if he was necessarily telling the truth because I kinda got the impression that they didn't get along and that seemed a little extreme But this is confirmation that they are using satellite imagery, manI really appreciate the good tip. Thank you

@@AJ-sb8qk Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous if you ask me. We have little to no privacy anymore these days. Glad that tip was helpful. Good luck with everything!

It probably wouldn't hurt, but I'm not sure it is 100% necessary if you're not able to.

Yeah, I have been happy with the 6.0! I wouldn't mind the extra HP, Torque, and MPG of the new engine. But didn't want to be the guinea pig for the first year.

We used our camper recreationally and didn't live in it. We also didn't have a device that took 200 watts of power. I agree it is not enough for you. It was plenty for us and our uses. Thanks for watching.

I have never talked with Ron, But I'm working with one of his dealers

Glad the video was helpful! How big of an excavator are you getting?

I've heard good things about his dealers. I wish there was one closer to Colorado!

Yeah, it worked for 2-3 years. It was a good temporary fix.

Yeah, that would be annoying no matter if it's a diesel or not! Thanks for watching!

@@ColoradoCamperman Even the 2003 jeep grand Cherokee with the 4.0 Street six. Makes within 5 foot pounds of torque of the 1980s and 1990s military Humvees 6.5 L diesels! So a modern non-turbo gas engine can easily make more torque than an older non-turbo diesel! Even a street six gasoline engine easily makes the same torque as an older diesel! And only about 500 to 1,000 more rpm!

You're welcome, thanks for the comment and watching!

I'm pretty sure I did use electrical tape, I usually do that. I think that would be fine to have a dual alarm, we had looked at one of those too. Thanks for watching!

Are you sure they are the same thing? They come with a hydraulic thumb, better pump, and a warranty with customer support. Aren't those things worth a higher cost?

@@ColoradoCamperman a better pump is 200 dollars. The parts are just as easy to obtain as any other excavator. Nothing kymron does makes it worth 3k more

@@ColoradoCamperman 2ton with ac swing boom and widening tracks 12k oh and hydraulic thumb.

@@ColoradoCamperman offering a warranty doesn't mean they will honor it.

@@bhhvvbvgyvbuvv Have you had experience with this amazing excavator you speak of? Why do you care about this so much? Why do you waste your valuable time worrying about crap like this?!? Lol!

No, you cannot put the slides out and it has zippers on one side.

Awesome to hear! Thanks for the comment and watching!

Yeah, we definitely lucked out with the spring on our property. It's crazy that the previous owners never mentioned anything about it. Sounds like your new property is coming along! Are you building yourself?

@@ColoradoCamperman ...Yup always do every thing myself ...can't afford to pay someone else ....LOL !

I really appreciate your comment! I am glad that you thought the list was helpful. Thanks for watching and have fun out there!

I'm not 100% sure about that. I don't think the charge controller would allow that but I'm not certain. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, thanks for watching!

Thank you very much! It's great to hear from you. We have been doing well. How is your fam? You been camping lately? Weren't you about to retire last time we talked?

Wow, great memory! Yes, I retired at the end of 2022 and spent the whole winter between central Florida and went all the way to Southern California with my camper.. it was awesome. I got home in the spring and then did my normal summer camping with my wife. This winter, I went back to Florida for about six weeks and came home in time for Easter. God is good! I would love to get out to Colorado this summer, but my wife is starting a new business right now and it probably won’t happen this year.

@@cslay06 That's awesome! Happy belated retirement! Sounds like you guys have been busy since then. I would love to do a long trip like that. I hope your wife's new business goes well!

On public land? Probably not, maybe on your personal land. You'd have to check county regulations.

Lol! Yeah, I'd definitely go with an open frame generator. I love how quiet the 3500 is, but it had too many issues running in the heat. Sea level would probably make a difference. But if you're not concerned with noise, I'd go with the 4550 all day long.

I don't blame you for wanting to move. If I could convince my other half to move, I would do so. Colorado is definitely not the state I grew up in. It has only changed for the worse. Thanks for the comment and watching.
