Time to look at updating our 2 100amp hour batteries. That single unit 410amp hour set-up looks great. This will definitely change your options for overnight's when you two travel. Enjoy the 2024 plans, looking forward to more videos.
Yes! We aren't doing a lot of boondocking, but I feel so much more confident for our overnights!
Great video; snacks are good anytime, anywhere 😄 I currently have (2) 200ah setup, and definitely want to upgrade to (2) 410ah setup in near future. I too wanted to secure my batteries from sliding side to side. So I designed and 3D printed ABS feet to secure the batteries at the corners. I can't attached a picture to this comment. If you are interested, let me know.
Interesting! You can send pics to our email or Messenger (through FB):

After two boondosking nights we switched to LIFePO4 batteries. You will be thrilled with the change.
Excellent! We were pretty thrilled after a rest stop overnight, so I can’t wait to see what all we can test on this thing!
CONVERTER!! I had the same problem calling ours a converter. In fact, I gave up and just called it the thing. LOL! Another good video.
Ha! Poor guy struggled on that one!
that's unusual !Untethered! 🎥
Curious see what can run.
Us too! 😊
Thanks for the info on the battery Redodo.
You guys are awesome and hope to see you on the road this year 2024. God speed 🙏.
So kind! Thanks for watching! 😊
When you upgrade your solar panels you may want to look at portable ones . We have 2 200watt renogy solar suitcases with 50ft cord . Benefits are movable and change the angle get sun early and later . Our roof ones are not as effective.
We have gotten 135ah each per day in July at twin lakes Colorado.
Here in Michigan lot of shade if we get 80 or 90 ah a day each on a good day .
We may not be making any solar upgrades at the moment, but we have seen those portable panels and wondered how they worked. Thanks for the info! I do like that option, as opposed to stacking more on the roof.
Cody can do about anything. Ang, well she is hilarious!! LOL
He isn’t scared to try something! 😊
You will love the lithium upgrade. Of course, you have now crossed over to the never-ending solar upgrade side of rv-ing 😅. More solar is coming soon.😊
Eeehhh I don’t know if we’re ready to spend THAT kind of money. 😆 We’ll start slow. BUT, there is something to an addiction of adding things. 🤣
Just keep in mind that lithium does not charge when it is below a certain temp. I moved all my batteries to the basement behind the false wall, since that area stays warm with the furnace.
That is really what I’d like to do. I’m just not sure I can tackle that rat’s nest and fit it in there. But it would be my preferred way. Hmmm. My wheels are turning! 🙂
Did you think about mounting the battery vertical to save room? I'm with you on cleaning up the rats nest behind the wall. My intent is to do this when I replace the water heater plastic check valve with a brass one, your year probably doesn't have one of these known failure points with the On Demand water heater.
Question, how does the "On Demand" water heater work while Boondocking? Is it hard to take a Navy shower and not freeze?
I like the idea of that, but the company recommended mounting the battery flat, so that’s what I did.
We love the tankless water heater, but water conservation can get tough. Not that we boondock very often, but you do have to get creative. We keep a cup in the shower, that we use for shaving. We heat up water for face washing at night. That alone saves quite a bit. I have heard that there are slower-flow shower heads that help as well. We wouldn’t give up the tankless, but maybe if we boondocked more, it would be a bigger problem.
Read the specs carefully. Redodo mentions on their site that low temperature protection is disabled within the BMS. Lithium iron batteries can be damaged by charging when the internal temperature is below freezing.
Yes, thank you for mentioning that. We are hopefully avoiding more of those low temps, but we put our Govee temp monitor in that bay, so we can keep a close eye on it.
Inverter/converter, we knew what you meant 😃😁
Haha! I hope someone did! 😆
Cody, Great upgrade. But, Did you remember that frozen water tank. That Lithium Battery, you will damage it charging under 32 degree unless it has a low temp protection. If you do it won't charge below 32 degrees. So either way recommend some type of heat source and a way to monitor the temp at the battery. With GOVEE you can monitor lots of areas. I have one on my tanks, at my water pump, on my lithium batteries, one in the cabin, and one outside. Check them out.
We love Govee! I think you’re right about getting some more. I don’t want to lose my house, temp monitor for too long.
Our battery has a BMS (battery management system). Although I hope to stay out of the cooler temps for a bit, we have a few ideas on how to put a heat source in there. Thank you for the reminder! I haven’t figured out quite the best way to do that yet. 😬 It may be a good excuse to stay South! 😁
We are considering a trip to the Hershey RV show in September too! Maybe we’ll see you guys there if we make it. Nice video, looking forward to seeing how the new battery system works out for you.
Awesome! We would love to see you guys again! We just may not go for a bike ride with you! Haha! I don’t think we could keep up!
@@RVUntethered you will definitely keep up! That’s what the power is for! Selling my Lectric 1.0 this spring. Couldn’t pass up the deal I got on a new Lectric 3.0 just before Christmas. It’s still sitting all shiny in the house waiting for better weather. Will have to keep in touch as the year goes on about the Hershey show. Stay safe out there!
@@edgramza ohh nice!
Cody, I have the same problem with coffee. Great upgrade, I put a complete lithium system in our travel trailer. Love your channel
😆 Excellent! We can’t wait to see what it does!
You're gonna LOVE that battery! It truly will be a game changer. We've been running about 6 weeks with our new lithium/solar install and WOW! Such a difference.
Excellent!!! We are happy with what we have seen so far, but we’re gonna put it to the test. 🤗
Sounds like a fun year!!!! Look forward to it.
☺️
It's important not to feel the need to rush while shopping at the hardware store so hitting the restroom first IS very important. When our AGM batteries give up we will be switching to Lithium as well and it's getting pretty darn close. Nice upgrade.
Haha! When you’re right, you’re right!
We are excited to really put it to the test, but we’re pretty happy with what we’re seeing so far.
Good Information........gonna check out this brand. Thx
Nice, Good job
Thank you!
Great information. Looking at your future plans, we live in Alabama and have RV'd 30 plus years. We HIGHLY recommend COE "Gunter Hill" in Montgomery.
We also HIGHLY recommend not staying in Birmingham. If you travel just a little farther North to Cullman, there are decent campgrounds like Smith Lake and Hwy 278 will take you straight into Tupelo.
CAUTION: BE PREPARED TO SEE WHAT WILL FALL OFF, OR CRACK COMING North on I-65. (Just sayin')
Contact us if we can help yall in any way when passing through.
Thank your for the suggestions! We are locking some of that in now, so that is helpful!
We laughed pretty hard at your cautionary note. We have driven I 65 (not with our rig) and there is some truth there! 😆
You were not the only ones to tell us Gunter Hill was great, so thank you! We have waited too long on some of these great suggestions, but it’s on the list!
We will be in Cullman on 3/3-3/17.
Looking forward to seeing how this works out for you. I've considered a similar upgrade. That is, a capacity boost without doing a megabuck full off-grid solution. My TT has a single LA battery and 250W panel. It does ok running the 12v refrigerator on a travel day but would be nice to have more run time or cloudy day coverage. Have you considered running a DC/DC charger off your truck for travel days? That's also on my wish list. When I ordered my truck, I got the 440A dual alternator option so can go fairly big on mine. 80-100A seems where I want to go, depending on how I'm feeling when I eventually click the "buy now" button LOL.
I am familiar with the DC/DC option, but I am scared to look at pricing for that. Ha! We noticed while driving, that the battery came up a little over 10% in 3 hours. I’m not sure we will need it for our type of travel, since we don’t boondock too much. But, that is how this normally goes! Ha! There is always something that we could put on these things!
@@RVUntethered of course I looked it up after the fact LOL. A 50A Victron is about $320. I'd probably stop with that, but they can be paralleled just buy more. Add in some fat wire from the truck batteries to the camper, terminals, connectors, etc I'd expect to hit $500-ish without too much effort. I already have the big hydraulic crimper and tools for the job, so that could also be a factor for some. I'll probably do it right after the first time I get to the destination and food is spoiled from a dead battery.
@@redforeman-404Ha! That doesn’t surprise me. I worry when people new to RVs start talking about solar..etc. because you can get in deep! But it’s a nice option!
Safe travels on the many adventures awaiting you! 💛
Thank you!
😂 he “sent” you on the roof to clean, Angie! Heehee. Like Cinderella! Bless..
Haha! 🤣🤣 I got to be a part of it! 😆
Our Reflection wiring was just as bad. Check your Solar charger from time to time, ours keeps defaulting to AGM mode.
Interesting! Will do, thanks!
Thanks for the info on that battery. Got to get one. Our Pinnacle has a switch inside the converter to switch over to lithium. I’ve been looking for this. A great price too. Great video!
I didn’t see that we had a switch, but I did look for it. That would be a nice option!
Great video content. Glad for your upgrade and curious as to your review later. Looks like a game changer for sure.👍
We are pretty excited about it! It has impressed us already, but we are going to ‘play’ with it.
Thanks for all the excellent info and insight into the change in power. Also, Just curious why you want to travel around the best part of the state of Alabama? You should totally check out Northwest Alabama. You can still make a day trip over to Tupelo if you are interested in my birthplace, I mean Elvis's birthplace. We would love to catch up with you guys while you are nearby.
😁😁 Tupelo is one of the definite markers on our list! We are thinking mid March!
You said in your update on batteries, but did new lithium battery replace 2 or 4 ?
Also , what are specs on your solar panel ?
Thanks , and we enjoy your channel . Enjoy your content and adding humor / expertise to your channel.
We had two lead acid batteries originally (one stock and one added). But this lithium battery has capacity that is equivalent to four lead acid batteries.
We had someone tell us that it could be equivalent to eight lead acids batteries, since you can’t run them down past 50% and lithium can run to zero without damage. They aren’t necessarily wrong. It has added a lot to our options.
I’m unsure of the solar panel, so let me see what I can find on it.
Thank you for watching! 🙂
Our solar panel is a Furrion 340W…I think! If it’s not, it’s not much more.
Thanks! Will follow your channel when you get a chance to use it.
Yay Maryland! Hope we can meet up! We are doing Hersey as well.
Excellent! We should be near St Michael around Aug 11.
@@RVUntethered Awesome! St. Michael’s is beautiful, we’ll make a note of that timeframe.
I had to swap our Charger out to a Progressive Industries with a Lithium profile as our 2022 Reflection didn't come with one with a Lithium profile.
We did the same. We went with the Progessive Industries charger/converter. 😊
Enjoyed your upgrade video. I have a similar upgrade to do on our camper. I ordered "Enjoybot" batteries because of the low temperature shut off function. Did you need to install a shunt to monitor your battery capacity?
Our stock setup already has a shunt and battery meter. All we had to do was to recalibrate the meter, for the larger battery size.
So we're sitting here watching this trying to figure out where we were gonna be when you're in Lexington, and Jeremy couldn't pronounce it either! It might have been the wine. 😂
Ahahahahahahahaha! Gonna be a good time when we finally get together! 🤣🤣
Love Your Channel, Are you still in Rockport TX? We are just down the road in Port Aransas TX. Doing The Winter Texan Thing!
We are! We are testing our Port Aransas today! We want to see what all the hub bub is about! 😁
Hope you guys have a great time. Big storms rolled thru this morning but good now. Love the beech here. Have Fun!@@RVUntethered
@@jk_ironman8063 Yes it has been incredible! We waited out the storms with our coffee! It was a noisy one! 😁 If you haven’t been to the Farley’s Boat Works yet, you’re missing out!
Tell Angela that your not the only one that hits the bathroom. 😂 Also do y’all have an inverter?
Ha! We do have an inverter AND a converter. 😆
We have the same converter/charger as you. What did you upgrade to? Also, why didn't you buy four 100-amp batteries? It would have been cheaper. Simplicity of installation? Thanks for sharing. Our batteries are getting to the end of their life, and I'm trying to convince my wife to go this route. Looking forward to your review now. For travel tips, have you considered the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas? It's every December, and loads of fun.
We are pretty excited to try out lithium and this saved a little bit of room, unless you stacked them somehow. Or maybe just the simplicity of one battery, so I didn’t have to run all of the wiring.
The converter model is listed here:
www.amazon.com/shop/untethered/list/2HDHU3P2HN6AL?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfuntethered_BG9VEC5KEVAP66ABPBSV
We have heard that the Vegas show is incredible!
@@RVUntethered Las Vegas would also put you close to Quartzsite to test your boondocking skills.
Hey Cody converter, converter, converter ! There does that help? 😊
😆😆
So, do you have an inverter and what size is it? Great video as usual…
We have a 750W Renogy inverter. Our system is pretty simple and this was primarily to charge batteries while off grid and for our Starlink to have a steady flow of power.
Put in A G not A “CK” Lexington, Kentucky Y’A have Fun In The Derby state & The Hwy 75.
😂😂
Catch us in a few weeks… ? Does that mean you’re not posting for a while?
We’ll be back on Tuesday. We are doing some testing on this battery and we plan to circle back in a week or two. 😬 That WAS confusing.
GD should be embarrassed by that mess. I'm glad you weren't lost in that mess of wires.
Haha! We almost had to grab him by the heels and drag him out. 😁😁
@@RVUntethered 😆 🤣 😂
What about the charger don't you have to change it ?
Right! We changed the converter to a Progressive Industries model. Thanks for watching!
Does the Redodo have Bluetooth so you can monitor the BMS?
Our model does not.
Did you have to change your inverter?
We kept the inverter that we had originally. We just changed the converter.
What converter did you use?
Progressive Industries converter. I don’t have it in front of me, but the pinned comments and description have our Amazon link for our battery setup. It includes the actual model number in there. 😊
Here ya go! The converter model is listed here:
www.amazon.com/shop/untethered/list/2HDHU3P2HN6AL?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfuntethered_BG9VEC5KEVAP66ABPBSV
You need microphones
😬 Our GoPro normally does okay, but those phone shots are rough! We have priced them, so hopefully some day! 😁
You guys do great
Cody your personality on camera is very serious, dry, stiff and maybe robotic. I wonder if that's just you on camera, or is that you in general.
It is a learning experience to be in front of the camera for sure! 👍
