    Great job!! Actually thought this was great and presented in a helpful no BS, overstated and over-sensationalized way like so many YT videos! Waiting for delivery of our Geopro 15Tb and taking our first step into the RVing world after years as long trail back packers and then DIY truck campers for last 2 years. From New England and plan on using our camper in winter so this was spot on! The tarp section was especially helpful! Keep the info and updates rolling!

    I really like the thing you made to keep the air and cold out from under your trailer. That is such a great idea. That looks like it works well.

      It does work well indeed. I've used it for 2 winters now and it really helps keep the camper warm and the pipes from freezing, even on very cold spells...

    I didn't think it was long and boring. I really enjoy these videos, especially when we get to see how you function in the space cleaning, cooking, working ext. It's so relaxing and peaceful to watch. Thank You!

    For me, being out in the winter is the best, less people and bugs to deal with and certainly more peaceful!👍

    Really like your geo pro 15 TB. The wife and myself have been tent camping for 35 years and it’s getting a little tough at 60 years old especially when it’s cold. We were talking why didn’t we do this years ago, water storage, no more digging holes in the forest for toilet , heating furnace, and no more prepping meals in the rain. We really enjoyed your video and thank you for sharing, we also liked your accent how boring would this world be if there was no diversity. Take care my friend and keep those videos coming.

    Love the overview. Since your tanks are exposed i would consider using 12V heat pads for tanks. The lower bottom cover is excellent. You can also use one or two non-Led light bulbs under TT..

    • @carlosmoraesUtube

      Thanks for the advice. This Geo actually has tank heating pads I had them on for the whole duration of my stay.

    I'll never camp in the cold like that but I admire your ideas and getting out there doing it! We got our 15TB because sometimes we camp in 40 degree nights and we need the heater. Can't imagine below freezing!

    Relax Carlos, your voice/accent is just fine.
    I like the skirting idea and will do something similar when I finally get my trailer built. My trailer will have a full insulated belly pan for aerodynamics and will be vented to the interior for winter heat and outside for side for summer heat so won;t need another expensive system to prevent tank(s) and piping freeze ups. The unit will be all electric for cooking, Air/heat Split and a small marine wood stove for heat off-grid.

    I wonder if some pool noodles would work to fill the wheel well gap? Might take 2 or 3 stacked, maybe zip tied together. But you could cut them to the length needed.

    I like the Skirt you made! Maybe to help keep the corners together, put some Velcro strips between the snap buttons holding the tarps together, so you don't have to add tape. Come to think of it, (just an idea) why not glue a long strip of Fuzzy Velcro to the underside? Then the Skirt could have the Prickly Velcro that can just be pressed on it and it stays put! No need to get down on your knees to find the hooks!

    Man your a Bad Ass 👍 Far to many winterize and put their TT's away. But dudes like you make it happen and enjoy Winter.. You should consider a dog coral for your beautiful dog. This way he could be placed on a big leash with allot more freedom and a exterior dog bed. So that he's suspended off the ground.

    • @carlosmoraesUtube
      @carlosmoraesUtube  3 роки тому +1

      Man, I'm no bad ass. But I do enjoy snow and snowboarding, so having a camper opened up opportunities. I'll look into those tips for the dog. Thank you!

    So do the tank heaters actually keep the lines from freezing if it’s around 10 degrees?

    Did you have to order your Geo Pro? If so, how long did it take to arrive? I live in Eastern Washington, ordered mine in May. Still waiting.

    • @carlosmoraesUtube
      @carlosmoraesUtube  3 роки тому

      I was lucky to get one from a dealer lot (probably a canceled order), so no waiting. But I know people have been waiting for 9+ months …

    Are the windows on the geopro single or dual pane? I've been thinking of one and towing behind my winnebago due to the light weight floor plan options.

    • @carlosmoraesUtube
      @carlosmoraesUtube  3 роки тому +2

      No, they are not. Those are single pane frame-less windows, with very low insulation value. That's why I show the double layer of reflectix on the windows in the video,.

    • @rvlifediy
      @rvlifediy 3 роки тому +1

    Good job. Great you stayed warm and had water. Keep the camera still please. The gas water heater is probably automatic, that's why it lights up. Now put that camera down. Getting me dizzy.
