      I use a few different apps. If you are on Route 66, The Ultimate Route 66 Guide is good. When we get to an area, I use "Roadside" from Roadside America, "Atlas Obscura" for the bit more dark attractions, like gravesites and weird museums. While driving, we use the "Autio" app to hear stories about the area we are in. Also, "Explore Here" shows us historical marker locations. "Clio" is a guide to history and culture. And "Pubquest" tells us where to get a beer at the end of a long day! We also rely on listeners offering ideas; I keep a spreadsheet of places people recommend.

    Thanks for the video and have fun camping. I miss camping with my family. The main point of going camping was a lot different for us than many I see today. We left all the electronics at home except for emergency communications and enjoyed the outdoors fishing, hiking, hunting and just having fun. It's nice to have your kids talk to you and pay attention to their surroundings but not the electronics.

    The expansion rate of aluminum and steel is very different. You have a steel drum and studs with one expansion rate and the aluminum wheel with a different expansion rate and over time this works the lug nuts lose. If you leave them loose for too long, you get wear between the nut and the softer aluminum wheel so keep their torque to the correct specifications.

    Cool stop Tony-- and I get just as excited as the curator does whenever I see the weinermobile! One thing I hope the museum can figure out (if they’re watching!!!) is how to offer a second night somewhere in town. Harvest Hosts near several smaller attractions are tough stays for us when we are limited to one nighters. The last thing we want to do is pack up, pull in slides, air up, to move to another spot in the same area. I checked on all 4 currently listed and every one is a single night. 😢

      Some Harvest Hosts will allow multi-night stays if you contact them. This town is very tourism-friendly so you might reach out and see. Also the town is very walkable so any of the locations are pretty ideal.

    I got the Mastervolt Power Package on my 2023 Mini Lite 2509s and I love it. It is absolutely awesome and worth the money IMHO. People keep asking about how much does it cost and I figured it adds about $8-10k to the price of the camper.

      Thanks for sharing - we’ve been very pleased with the system in our MiniLite as you know.

    where would the placement of this new soft start unit from the power source with the Watchdog unit for power source protection?

    • @StressLessCamping
      @StressLessCamping Місяць тому

      Just plug it in to the power pedestal but I would place it after the surge suppressor.

    Nice looking speaker and they sound really good for their size. I am lucky to still have good hearing and eyesight but like my friend says when you go to buy a TV just get what looks good to you, because as you get older even 4K may not look great to old eyes so don't overspend. The same goes for sound, it will depend on your ears. Thanks for the review.

    We have that same fan and love it. I usually clip it right to the arm rest on my chair. Interested tends coming up. I like the look of light furniture but definitely not the dirt.

      We have had very good luck with the Dometic 12 volt refrigerator but you might also consider a 12 volt portable cooler.

    Lovely. I had a glass panel shatter randomly in the heat last summer while the camper was sitting. I was going to remove the entire metal framing, now I will just remove the doors! No need to create all that extra work when you can use the curved bar at the top for rings. Genius! Thank you so much for sharing.

    ...nice review...can it withstand a rooftop tent on it?

    • @StressLessCamping
      @StressLessCamping Місяць тому

      I don't think it would. It's pretty tough but that may be more than this was designed to accommodate and it is a bit flexible so I don't think it would be very stable.

    Any tips on motor home vs 5wheel?

    • @StressLessCamping
      @StressLessCamping Місяць тому

      Not particularly. We are big fans of towable RVs only because it is relatively easy to get a pickup serviced almost anywhere and at a relatively low cost. Plus modern pickups are extraordinary vehicles in so many ways. Motorhomes frequently require more specialized shops. Plus motorized RVs are only about 5% of the market so we just don’t focus on them much.
