    I added a 100amp rv pedistal to our house here in Portland. So now we have a 50, 30, and 20 amp service. Then tied in a sewer drop for rvs, plus a 35lbs water outlet. And then a 65lbs water for washing our rigs. Makes a great addition for when friends just happen to pop up to the Northwest.

    • @TipsyMarlinTravels
      @TipsyMarlinTravels  3 роки тому +1

      Sounds like a great setup! I'm sure your RVer friends appreciate it too. We have done plenty of moochdocking with family and having utilities makes it so much nicer.

    Looks like Home Sweet Home guys. Now you have that place to get the maintenance done on the rigs and to recharge ones internal batteries. Just love you guy's.

    Great to see the pad get in. Congrats on the power has well. The boys are sitting watching with me and did not remember y’all from Quartzite. As soon as the dog is in the shot they all started “There’s the shy dog! That’s the shy dog from Quartzite.”
    Haha. Good to see y’all are doing well.
