Last week, we headed out of Maine after Lily got her driver’s permit, and we somehow put the RV back together in less than 24 hours after tearing it apart to paint every inch of wood grain showing! If you missed that episode, you can check it out here: • WAS IT WORTH OUR TIME ...
We arrived in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, for the first ever Lippert Getaway at Pigeon Forge Landing RV Resort! We had never been guest speakers at an event before, and we had so much fun speaking at multiple sessions with other fellow Lippert Brand Ambassadors.
We wrapped up the event and headed back up to Elkhart, Indiana, (we just can’t get enough of that place!😂) and prepared the rig to have our new Furrion solar panels installed. Preparation included Essenhaus donuts, of course, and a deep cleaning of the roof which had been sitting under trees in Maine for a month before.
Our partners at Furrion, recently acquired by Lippert, installed 4 of their 160watt solar panels on the roof. We also replaced our 8cu ft electric/propane refrigerator with the new Furrion 12v 10cu ft refrigerator. As excited as Corey is about the solar, Jess is even more excited about her bigger fridge!
We can’t wait to share more about our solar install in the future as we have also partnered with Lion Energy and will be instaling 4 of their Lithium batteries as part of our system as well!
Stay tuned for the next episode as we share our completed renovation with you guys! Be sure to like and subscribe and click on the bell icon for notifications when we release new videos!

That rooftop deck 😍 the deck and chairs for sure, but that hot tub!!
Another great video you guys! I feel like y’all should have over 500k subscribers for sure because your content & footage is always 💯
Great segment on the RV volunteering piece and we remember y’all mentioning this meet up! We truly love what we do and everyone was right… RVers possess tremendous capacity to give back while on the road. We just rolled 27,500 volunteer hours because of this amazing segment of our society!!
Fun times! I can understand the cringe of putting holes in the roof - after 2 years of no solar and dealing with 2 AGM batteries (barf), we just went solar with 4 BB batteries - GAME CHANGER! Safe travels
Thank you for not interrupting the Pledge Of Allegiance, that was awesome..! 🇺🇸
You’re welcome, and thank you for watching 🙏👊
Great video, thank you! As for the semi towing the car, that’s what truck transport trucks do, they tow a personal vehicle to get to their next load after dropping off the last truck. Truck transport trucks are those trucks - usually 3 - being towed together and delivered various places.
Makes sense! Thanks for letting us know!
Amazing video as always. Back from Hawaii and I have to say, Everytime I hear the star spangled banner it gives me chills. I have a race team I own and several tracks use that exact sound track of that version. I just love it.
Hope you had an awesome trip, Glenn! Funny enough, that version got flagged and you were thankfully able to see it before UA-cam cut it out for copyright issues. NASCAR invited us to the last race at the Atlanta Motor Speedway last summer before they redid it and hearing the National Anthem at each race that weekend was so special. What team do you own?
This family puts out better videos than most travel channel TV shows.
Great video!! And thanks for the shout out! Big surprise is in May!!! We’re heading to Pigeon Forge in April!!
We can't wait for the big surprise! Pigeon Forge is a blast! Can't wait to hear about your trip!
I want that coach!!!!!! Not necessarily the copter, but the deck with hot tub!!!!!
The hot tub deck is awesome!
I have 660W of panels (2 panels) connected to Victron 150/85 controller, using 2 Lion UT1300 batteries and a 1000W Xantrex Freedom inverter. It works good for the two of us. I installed everything. BTW, Eterna bond tape works great to hold down those panel wires, keeping them from flopping around in the wind. I'm surprised the installer didn't use that.
Wow!! That was some RV awesome. Super vlog guys thanks for sharing enjoy your week.❤❤🇬🇧
Thanks so much for your support! It means a lot!
I just converted over from four AGM batteries worth 250 amp hours usable to two 200 amp hour lithium batteries. I’m mooch stocking at a friend while I’m doing other upgrades and helping him on his motorhome so I haven’t been able to try them out yet. But I’m sure they will be much better because they charge so much faster. Nice video as always stay safe.
I bet it will make a big difference! Thanks so much for watching!
Hey Corey at 13:37 it’s a drive away. The driver is taking the truck to a dealer from the frieghtliner factory in Cleveland NC and he’s towing his personal vehicle so he can get back home or to his next dispatch. They also take the motor homes to the dealers from the factories in Indiana.
Ahh, makes sense! Thank you!
That looked so fun, and the upgrades from Furion look like a great decision. When I started helicoptering a good friend did panoramic photography. Try that the next time you do a group photo. It makes it so so can actually see everybody, as you can be closer.
I always look forward to your videos! Essenhaus is incredible so I’d like to throw another donut location for you all. Rise n Roll, but you’ve got to get there early for a full donut selection.
Great Upgrades!! It's no different then you would do for a house since the RV is your house. Cool meet up with Lippert. Great Idea!! The first thing i did after watching this video was to pull up Furrion!!
I LOVED everything about this video. Furrion is awesome. I had no idea they had solar panels. We need some panels on the roof of our fifth wheel. (4) 165 watter's would be perfect for us. Anyway....Great video as always.
Thanks for being here with us! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Teaming up with Lippert, awesome! They have so many great items. Between you, and KYD I will be watching for input on the fridge. I like the new look, and the extra space (a future investment). Can't wait to hear more about your solar setup as well.
DONUTS!!!! Those donuts looked delicious......I should know better than to watch your videos before going to bed.....because now I'm craving a donut!
The fridge has been awesome! WE just boondocked for 2 weeks and the solar charged the fridge the entire time. Boondocking just got a whole lot easier! And if you are ever in Elkhart, you need to get some of those donuts! They are amazing!
Someday is everyday if you allow it to be!! Make those memories guys and don't be afraid to mess up!! Those memories are valuable also....
My Dad always says...... if one man can mess it up?? One man can usually repair it... Enjoy the journey, take that time and make it your someday!
Absolutely! Thank you so much for your kind words and I like your dad's saying! Thanks for joining us on our journey!
I was so worried that we were not getting a video today. So glad I stayed up. At this point what does lippert not own.
Sorry for the delay! We had a copyright claim go against us for the national anthem as we were posting and we had to cut it out of the video so it delayed posting. Thanks for staying up for us!
I believe we dry camped at the rv Hall of Fame (a harvest host) next door. I had no idea what that company did other than boat stuff.
Corey and Jess thank you so much for this video. It was great seeing the fun you had at the Lippert Rally. That was cool seeing the helicopter on top of the
camper with the hit tub. I think it was a camper.. Your new home is looking good. You have come along way. You deserve it. It’s looking great! Can’t wait until you show the whole thing when it’s all done. Hope you have a great rest of the week and see you this Sunday.
Nice look at the rally and insight into the companies you have chosen to partner with. We really respect and admire you guys approach things so much! Your solar and lithium upgrades will be a game changer for you as it has been for us. SOOOOO happy for you! Be well!
Pretty cool fridge you're going to have and with your new power system it will be great . I recently upgraded my power from a 298KWH battery and added a 612KWH battery that should be more than enough to run everything I have since the 298 was just a little short and I added a 100watt solar panel to the mix as well . Looking at the copter on the motorhome brought back a memory , my mother in law bought me a flying lesson in one of those for my birthday one year and it was pretty interesting . It's a pretty squirrely copter , barely move the stick left and off you go left turn . LOL I was fine with the other controls but the last thing is taking the stick and wow , nobody died so it's all good LOL
Great video guys. We just found your channel a few weeks ago, and now Julie and I watch for every new episode. Thanks for sharing your journey. Peace
So glad you found us! Thank you so much for watching and joining us on our journey! 🙏
Terrific video! You both share so much knowledge! I am on my full time journey and truly enjoy all the information. It is so enjoyable to hear your new videos each week. Keep up the great work! Thank you both. Take care.
does that "drone copter " have a 3 axis gimbal 8k camera? Loved the rally and the people! I guess in the current corporate world, you don't expect a company as big as lippert to hold good family related values. Its something you just don't see that often from the big boys. I think your business is better when run that way, but most seem to embrace the cold hearted ways... another great video!. I went with a bluetti for its all in one package...and a 2k watt generator. obviously the LiPo limitations are related to output and recharge. But I'm only on the road a couple weeks between the seasonal jobs. I'm just lucky its been the same summer and winter jobs for several years. Take care. Heading to Ohio after the 28th of March. Safe Travels!!!
Please get the fire safety tube for in your battery area. All lithium batteries create oxygen when they burn and are almost impossible to stop burning. The gas in the fire safety tubes blocks oxygen and is about the only way to put out a lithium battery fire. If they tell you 1 two foot tube will do it get 2 two foot tubes. If you do not know who to contact I can give you a youtuber that lives fulltime in their RV and installs the tubes. All lithium batteries create oxygen, even the latest type that sank the ship hauling VW and Porsche cars to the USA. You will love the new fridge they are awesome. Stay safe and healthy.
Thank you Cory for going the extra steps including all in the photographs
You’re welcome! Appreciate you watching 👊!
Solar and lithium is a game changer, for sure! Really enjoy your videos! We sold our Geo Pro and are awaiting a new Airstream, so we'll "travel" through your videos for now.
@Jess keep pushing Lippert on the volunteer program. I really think we the RV community can do so much good. I hope we can get it going would love to be able to have my kiddos help out those who need it. My wife is on stand by with you to help out with whatever we need.
As always great video, love the solar and surprised the rig didn’t pull out of Furrion with a roof deck (Corey I saw it pressing on your mind). Safe travels guys. #FOSCREW!
My Jayco 5th wheel came with Furrion 12v refrigerator factory installed and I love it. Have 2 Lion Energy Lithium batteries but no solar yet. After 2 previous rigs over the past 30 years with propane/120 ac the difference is incredible, especially when it is hot outside!
Corey, when you mentioned being careful about solar panel shading by AC units I hollered YES! Many installations on UA-cam overlook this. We went with parallel instead of serial wired panels despite the voltage drop inefficiency. That way if shading happens only one panel is affected. Better yet, the isolation of cell clusters in those Furrion panels is a fantastic idea.
Thanks man😃 Even if the shading occurs earlier or later in the day that’s when you really need all you can get sometimes. When I was consulting with the, the guy that did most of the install(awesome guy) he wanted to put all the panels on one side with all the same angle and park the rig south facing to that side . So on paper that makes complete sense, but reality is that’s something new to add to parking your rig and the majority of the time you park where you can park. I went for the average best layout in my mind , taking into account shading from the AC units and still being able to walk from front to back. That is a pretty good perk of those panels, they have a fairly good efficiency rate of 20% as well. I’m pretty excited to see what they are capable of in the summer when the sun is even higher! It was pretty awesome to see 25 amps going into the batteries while driving down the road though !
We did the same with our panels for the same parking reason, plus 200w more than calculated need in order to mitigate tree shading, cloudy days, and not manually tilting them for better sun angle. Looking forward to the solar build video.
I noticed when you showed the new refrigerator that you will put in your RV that there was a stove that looked like an upgrade compared to what we have in our 2019 RV. Ours has such a tiny oven that the only pan that we can utilize is a small cookie sheet pan. Such a disappointment to have what we have, and not being shown the one near the refrigerators to view (wondering if it really was an upgrade), made my heart sad; but other than this personal picky item on my part, I enjoyed seeing it all. I liked the possibilities given that an outdoor space could be added to the roof of the RV! Gale Flowers
There are many different size ovens including residential ones that can be put in an RV. It all depends on what your manufacturer put in and how much space they made available in the design. Our new fridge was an option because even though it is bigger than our old one, it still fits in the same footprint as our 8cu ft one. Many RV's including much bigger rigs than ours have small RV size microwaves, but we have a full size residential one that also is a convection oven. It all depends on the RV design and how the manufacturer laid it out. Thanks so much for watching!
Cody Webb is Awesome. He's from my hometown in Ridge Spring SC. So glad the rally was a success.
He was great! So glad we got to check him out at the Getaway!
Welcome to the solar addiction! I'm up to 2940W now, and I think I'm actually done LOL! It is great to live like you're plugged in... in silence! No generator...
Congrats on the new panels! Thanks for bringing us along!
Congratulations on your speaking and for the 1st step for solar. Thanks for sharing. Blessings
A great video I had never heard of Lippert until this video…. We are getting ready to hit the road soon for some Wonderful exploring our selves….. Our Thor Vegas has 1 solar panel comes in handy….lol. Remember…… Life is short, Have a blast and explore…..
Wow guys..... what a great crew up at Furrion! Can't wait to see how the upgrades work out for youinz!
Safe travels
They were amazing! Excited to share more of the solar install soon!
Just love ❤️ watching all your videos so positive, fun loving. Enjoy living life to the Fullest! 🙏🏼
We are happy to have you here with us! Thank you for watching!
You gave RV'ers a lot of information in this video. BTW, both of you did great at the 'public speak' thing with Lippert! Great video; Furrion was a really cool place. That RV was incredible; even if it is just a 'Concept RV.' This was a fun video to watch.
Events like this are such a great way to share what we have learned and for us to learn from others! Thank you for your kind words! We had a great time at all of the sessions. Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Very groovy guys! Enjoy the solar panels update and the new fridge 😘
The solar and new fridge are awesome! We are loving both!
Looks like everyone had a great time.
It is always a good time when a bunch of RV's are together! 🙌
Great video! I'm in the process of adding solar to our class C right now as well.
It’s a process! Good luck on your install!
Airstream made a motorhome with a rooftop deck years ago. Had internal stairs like the one you showed.
Photoshopping the late people in, fantastic! Haha 👏👏👏
No one is left behind!😉
Love this! We want to find ways to volunteer on the road - keep us in the loop on your new organization!
I want to commend you for responding to so many of your crew's comments. Other YT'ers with following like yours do not do so. Great to see your investment in those who comment......you all are first class!!!
Bout time on the solar and lithium.
No joke! 😃
Just purchased our first RV and have been loving your videos and info.
That was awesome the hole video. Question how will you clean under the panels. Or are the sealed around the sides. Also I would think you will need a pilot license to drive the helicopter. Thank you for taking me along.
They are not sealed on the sides, but it won't get too bad underneath if we keep up with cleaning around the edges. And you most definitely need a pilots license to fly a helicopter!
Outstanding. Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank YOU for being here with us!
This was another very awesome and educational video from a great team.
My favorite family 👪. Just like 👍 👌 what you two do. Great 👍
Thank you for being here with us on our journey! 🙏
I am curious how the Furrion panels are performing, my last rig I had 10X100 watt Grape Solar Panels, and my current I have 5X240 watt Newpowa panels, I havent really run them hard off grid much yet, they do easily keep out 6 Lions full. I have played around with the Furrion A/C we have with a soft start, I can run for a few hours with out a problem to cool the rig down, and full sun could run 10 hours (per my victon shunt) but probably more like 6ish hours with sun supplementing the batteries.
Another wonderful video! My wife and I applaud your family commitment to volunteerism. You might want to check out A Year to Volunteer. We have done several projects with them around the country and enjoyed every one of them. Congratulations on your upgrades!
Thanks for sharing great video as always! I love the solar upgrade! I would of been the same way with a drill bit sticking through my roof😂! The Essenhouse is super cool my uncle is good friends with the owners the peanutbutter is killer too! How many more videos before we are real time?
Great video!
Glad to see yall finally got Solar!!
So are we! 😂
Welcome to the solar family And congratulations on your lithium
Congratulations on new Solar and also new Refrigerator 🥳🥳 Can't wait to hear your thoughts on fridge 😀 Safe Travels guy's ❤
We absolutely LOVE the new fridge. We have boondocked for weeks in the heat and the solar ran the new fridge beautifully! The 2 extra cubit feet are unreal!
I hope you talk about that 12 volt fridge sure would like to know how good they work?
Very cool install. Cheers
Thanks for watching!
Hello, can you link your video showing what you used to clean your RV roof? It looks amazing. I did look through your past videos, but I couldn't locate it. Thx.
I enjoy watching your episodes and seeing and hearing what all you do just curious as what it cost to be out full-time especially with fuel prices on the rise
Thank for for watching! It is almost an impossible question to answer as, just like if we were living in a sticks and bricks home, everyone lives life differently. There are people who spend millions full timing and others who can do it for $20K a year. Depends on what rig you want, what kind of rig you will have, how you spend money, how you travel, etc will all pay into how much it will cost. Not to mention how many are in your family traveling with you!
Roof cleaning: wow big difference! What product/method did you use? Thank you!
That's how they deliver brand-new trucks to the customer and then they drive the car back to where they come from
What did you use to clean your roof?
I use Maguire's All Purpose Cleaner. I use it for the roof and cleaning the RV and truck as well. Just don't let it sit on any surface for long in the sun.
This is awesome. Are you guys going to do some boondocking since you’ll have solar panels
We actually boondock all the time! This will just make it easier!😉
Cool, got solar!!
Really like all of your upgrades. Interesting to see how you like the solar panels. Is the Lippert rally in Pigeon Forge TN again this year? How do you get invited to it? We live less than 2 hours away and camp down there a lot during the year and we would love to attend a rally like that. Safe travels.
Another exciting and fun video; thanks, guys! When will the upgrade happen? lol
We will be sharing the rest of the upgrade with our Lion Energy batteries soon!
@@FindingOurSomeday Oh, I meant when are you guys getting the RV with the helicopter...lol
It worked!
It sure did!
Can’t wait to watch this video!
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for being here! 😃
Great video.I think Lippert is a great company but I am concerned with one their slide systems known as the power gear slide .I have had roller bearing fallout of the slide two consecutive years in a row .I have the slide repaired by a reputable Jayco Greyhawk dealer and even the repair service tech said that the design is flawed and there is no way to tighten the bearing wheels tight enough so that they are tight enough and still roll loose.I spoke to Lippert and the repair luckily was still under warranty. My biggest concern is everytime I put the slide out I feel that I am rolling the dice that another bearing is going to fallout again. If you guys speak to the Lippert crew again in the future could you mention my concern . I know I am one person but with the thousands of RV that have this slide system was installed in there has to be 1000’s of the slide systems with this design flaw. Thank you , Al Nolan Long Island NY
Watching now ! Don't forget to contact us if you travel to Michigan again.. our offer still stands on taking you guys to find yooperlights in the u.p.
Thank you so much for watching! And we have a message from Barbara about yooperlights in UP, is that you guys?
@@FindingOurSomeday actually no Amy and I mentioned the yooperlight thing when you traveled through last year.
It's a good time and a great experience when you get a great night to be on the beach, it's so awesome.
We travel to the u.p often and have many locations to hunt and actually are friends with the guy who started the whole yooperlight craze..
So if you decide to don't hesitate to contact us.
I'm still working but we always find time to camp in the u.p. and to rock hunt.
@@clintgoulet7572 Send us an email through our site or a message on instagram or Facebook under Finding Our Someday with your info so we have it if we are in that area!
@@FindingOurSomeday sent you guys a email from your site.. take care.
After cleaning, your roof looked brand new! What did you use to clean the roof?
Loved it! yeah helicopter would be the bomb!
Dang, wanted to see Cory fly that bird haha!
You did Furion proud!
Doughnuts @ sunrise!
Hi guys, maybe I missed it but I was wondering how many watts of solar, how many amps of battery, what size inverter?
Wow! You were just up the road from me!
Another awesome video
Thank you sir 👊
Hi guys!
I couldn’t find a link for the 12v fridge.
Where did you purchase it?
Thanks!
Jess you rocked the public speaking. Corey not so much. JK. I can see how pumped Corey was to get the solar panels. I hope they stay on. Safe travels.
She is definitely the speaker and singer of the family! 😂 Really psyched about the solar finally!
What do you use to clean the roof!? Looks fantastic!
Why Lion batteries instead of Battleborn? Seems most RV use Battleborn.
Battle Borns are awesome too! Lion got my attention because they were smaller, lighter, and slightly more powerful at 105 AH VS 100. I’ll be going over those reasons in a video soon😃
I have a drone question. Do you fly your drone out of eyesight? I have a Holystone 720G drone but they recommended to not fly out of eyesight or over 400'. I did not take the upgraded license class for commercial droning. This a practice drone before spending big $ on one in a couple of years.
What did you clean the roof with?
so what happens in a hail storm with the solar pannels?
Fun and informative?? Cory, what did you use to clean the roof????
Hey Cory, how did you get that roof so clean? What’s your secret? Thks
"If we could take this one place?" NASCAR!
I'd love to learn how to fly a Helicopter!
Roof top deck for Tetons
Are you six months behind still and will you ever be in the actual season of year we are in? I may be mistaken but I thought y’all said that was the plan back around the holidays.
What was that y’all used to clean your roof?
