First time watching! A couple of things we do. Get a socket that fits your jack and bring a battery-powered drill. Makes it so much easier. I've heard people convert their hitch jack with a nut to do the same. We just upgraded to a power hitch jack. Beats having to crank. Get walkie talkies for backing into a space and hooking up. Then the whole campground can't hear you yelling! 😊 Make sure to level side to side when using your propane fridge. Your motor should last longer. And, for sure, get sway bars and a hitch lock. We love our trailer for the reason you got yours! Let's go exploring! We base camp alot! Happy camping!
I’ve had them all from pop-ups, truck campers, travel trailers to fifth wheels. They all have their pros and cons. It is nice to just disconnect and have a go to town vehicle!! Good luck with the new camper good choice in my opinion!!
Great video..get a trailer lock so no one can take your rig while you’re not there…and don’t ever go between the truck and the camper when guiding any rig that’s backing up…just keep to the sides..always think about safety first
Nice camper. Tandem's is the best choice. Well, Connor. When things seem to fall apart, you always have Amelia's smile to put a smile on your face and brighten everyone's day.
About the 12v fridge, we have 2 campers. One with a propane fridge and one with the 12v. We only take the 12v camper when we're going to be plugged in. The one time we took it boondocking, we had to run our gas generator every day. It's just too much of a drain on the batteries and the solar couldn't keep up. The propane is so much more reliable.
Pro travel tip. Get a stroller for your dog. It’s great especially when it comes to eating at restaurants. It raises the dog up so it’s not sitting down by your feet. It keeps the dog contained so you don’t have to worry about hanging onto a leash. It comes in handy for hiking. So definitely get the 3 wheel version. Just throwing the idea out there. We love our dog stroller!
Just a recommendation. Plug the power cord into the camper first then go to your power pole, turn off the breaker plug your cord in then turn on the breaker. Have fun.
That’s backwards. Plug the diagnostic surge protector into the pole first to make sure the pole is properly wired. Only after the pole is confirmed good, turn of the pole, attach other end of line to trailer and turn on the breaker. This could save your trailer’s electrical system + appliances.
Another good tip is to lock up your trailer hitch. They have items to get for this. Not saying someone would steel u trailer, but better safe then sorry.
Connor, I personally like and enjoy the propane/110 fridge. It takes between 2-4 hours to bring it up to temp off shore power. I have 2 recommendations for you: 1) Bring fridge up to temp before going camping. AND have all items cold going into fridge/freezer. 2) Give the propane/110 fridge a try-out before making the switch to 12 volt. I have always had the Dometic. It "sips" propane. Another thing you can consider is switching your 20 lb propane tanks to 30 lb tanks. You will have to explore your tongue weight and other necessitating variables.
Yes, the previous owner did everything right. Blow out the lines and leave all open. Most blow all lines and the put in pink RV antifreeze, never green like a car. And always bypass your water heater when winterizing. Read you manual!
We have a 2022 Winnebago with a 12v fridge. For camping with no electric hookup we would much prefer propane fridge since we continue to struggle with enough battery power even with lithium. We had good success helping to regulate temp in propane fridge by using a small fridge fan inside to circulate cold. A couple d-cells last for weeks.
So so super pleased for you both on your new trailer, it's like new and now you have the freedom to explore without taking the camper everywhere. Very best wishes to you on your exploring .love Michael uk care home resident xx
Before you fall in love with the idea of getting a new fridge: unless your door is about 26” or wider, you might not be able to get the old fridge out of the camper without taking the door frame apart. I’m rebuilding my absorption fridge for the second time.
A 2or 3 ft level will get your side to side and end to end pretty close. Should be easy to store in the basement. You'll get the rest dialed in pretty quickly. Enjoy.
Congrats on your new rv!! It's so good to see how you are taking to a new style of camping. I would suggest you get a hitch lock for when you leave your camper and do your exploring. Happy Travels !
Agree with above about power cord. Make sure breaker on power pole is off, plug in and, once your surge protector has confirmed the pole is good, turn the breaker on . Great looking camper! Great way to buy too. Most owners are going to be honest with issues and if it looks good it was PROBABLY well cared for and maintained. Good for you!
I for one am very happy for the change. It means that you can take us exploring a bit easier. It’s like having a second home with a different backyard each time you take it out. I’m excited for you guys and for myself. I always wanted a travel trailer! And now I get to go with you so to speak. P.S. I love the color of the cabinets! And the bathroom is nice too. That layout makes for a cozy homey space and I can’t wait for some Autumn travels! Fall leaves and campfires. ❤. Sweet!!😊
Enjoy your new camper it’s takes a little time to get a pattern for your set up and take down. Just don’t get frustrated. It will all work out. Love your videos keep em coming.
Love the new camper and camper issues just come with the territory. learning something new is a good thing. you've inspired me to cook more while camping.
glad to see you enjoyed your new camper,my last husband and I had a 27ft GreyWolf after he passed I sold it because I felt it to big for me .Sadly I never really learn how to do everything with that rig because my late husband did it all. Moving forward I am remarried and my ne husband never owned a camper we bought a use 2012 19ft camper and I do remember how to do alot of things because I did watch my late husband so now we are learning camping in this camper together also... One thing I was proud of was remembering how to use the dump site LOL ..Enjoy and happy camping
Id stick with the propane fridge. You have bigger tanks now than the truck camper, and the propane fridge is very efficient for what little it uses. Love the new camper, we just sold our Lance 835 to do the exact same thing
We have a new trailer and have a 12v Fridge/freezer, hot water and AC. love them. no longer have to worry about the propane. Cant remember brand, but Ill look tomorrow.
We love our 5th wheel. The drivable Rv we had was the same problem you had. Couldn't go anywhere without breaking camp. We love being able to get in the truck and go places. Enjoy!
We like your camper! You have to choose what is right for you at the right time! I am experienced with our Lance, but left the black tank valve partially open. Nasty experience on the first dump. It happens to all of us. Love your adventures and thanks for sharing with us all!
You kids are doing just fine. My wife and I went from a tent to now in a 29ft. Class C R V. Bound to be a little bit of learning along the way. . We laughed a lot ! !
How fun and congrats ! Have the same camper and love it ! Perfect couples camper and great to take out alone ! It has been a trouble free camper for me and I hope the same for you , Tows awesome ,love tandems ! Safe travels !
So excited to see you on your first adventure, even with all trials and tribulations you experienced…you’ll get ‘r all figured out in due time as you always have before! 3 pieces of advise, for now, that I’ve learned from following a lot of YTers 1- put some stick on levels on the front and side of the trailer 2- when you leave camp do NOT put your door handle over your door! It is sure sign to tell all you are not in the camper and are gone! 3- once you start using your oven and if it doesn’t heat evenly, buy a pizza stone for the bottom rack to help evenly distribute the heat. Not all people have issues with it heating unevenly, but a lot due As always, stay safe out there…..
We love your new set up. We have a 17ft. Salem and a 30 ft. Fifth wheel. Use them for different kinds of camping. We ALWAYS disconnect, that way you can easily leave it there is a medical or environmental emergency. We've had people in our camping group come running to take asking if we can take him to get his granddaughter out on a trail that had broken her leg and we had to take them to the hospital cause he never disconnects! No bueño! Enjoy! 🌞
I think you will love your new one so much more then old one. I would suggest get some locks for your camper for tow hitch just to lock it make it hard for anyone to steel it. Also plug in power to camper then to power pole then turn breaker on. Also watch a lot of UA-cam to figure things out with your camper. That’s what we did when we get new campers. I love your new one.
You are such a beautiful couple enjoy your rides and thank you for the information also just be careful out there and don’t pay attention to negative comments life is to beautiful to listen to that. ❤❤❤
I’ve been watching your channel for a while and was wondering when the truck camper would feel to small for the two of you. New camper was a great call! Congratulations 🎉😂❤
I wouldn't even consider a 12v fridge until you install a proper battery system, i have a 400 AH bank in my TT but i stay with my propane fridge because it works so well, and i keep my portable 12v ARB 63qt elements fridge in the bed of the truck for extra capacity ✌️
We are so excited to see you in your trailer as that is what we are doing too. We are getting a 3/4ton ram and an Airstream trailer. Also we are in the process of buying 5 acres with a cabin on it. So what you are doing is the same as us. We are planning a year long trip around the U.S.A. So watching you is inspiring for us as well.
An item I suggest is an AMPLock. This thing is bullet proof and secures your trailer when its parked and unattended. I use mine when I store my trailer and at my campsites. This way, I have confidence that it will be there when I return from sightseeing.
Have fun in the new camper. By the way when you are hooked up to an external fresh water connection you don’t run your pump. Pump is only for dry camping. It pumps water from your fresh water holding tank.
Hey guys! Glad to see you on the road with the TT. First of all, you DEFINITELY need to go with the 12v fridge! You won’t have any of the issues that you had with the 2-way fridge and you gain more space! So many pros to the 12v. The thing I see people complaining the most about is the power usage. We have a 2024 TT with the new Dometic 12v fridge. We have 300ah of lithium batteries and 400 watts of solar on the roof and we never get below 60% overnight. You had mentioned to me that you would have a roof full of solar and plenty of battery on your last video. With that, it’s a no brainer to get the 12v fridge! Feel free to reach out if you have anymore questions. I’m a freak when it comes to research on things for the camper and I Love EVERYTHING about RV’ing and what comes with it. Thanks again for sharing your videos and have a Great weekend!
@@LivingLargeCamping This Dometic is the only one I’ve used so far, so unfortunately I can’t help you with that question. If there are a few that you are trying to pick between, I’d probably go with the one with a better warranty, if there is one that is better, or which one has better customer service in case you do run into issues down the road. Good Luck and I’m interested in seeing which one you end up with if you decide to go that route.
Look into jc refrigeration in Elkhart Indiana, they make new cooling units (the back of the fridge) that are 12 v compressor. You take your existing cooling unit off and install the new one tight on your same "box"( fridge housing)
Congraulations again on the trailer. It brings back lots of nice memories for me to see yours. I had the same model, but my interior had dark cabinets and a different color scheme. By the way, there are two water shutoff valves under the bathroom sink, You have to remove the four screws from the shelf below to get to them. You can't get water to the shower until you do this. I hope the seller told you about them. Remember to grease the trailer wheels every 10,000 miles. It should have grease ports on the hubs to make this easy.
I highly recommend Nova Kool refrigerators, we have one in our truck camper. They were originally designed for boats/yachts. They are extremely quiet and ours doesn't need to be vented outside.
Wow what a cool little camper to zip around with... Keep a eye out for a nice little ground mat for under your awning at the door. The stroller for your fur baby is a useful clever idea. I carry 3 5 gallon bottles, I fill at water fill station. The convenience of 3 way power for the frig give it a chance to work for you both! Im enjoying this new camping experience! Be safe, and have fun. Toledo 💙
My wife and I really like the new camper……what you need now is a truck topper on you truck to be able to take things along camping and keeping them secure……check out KYD’s reason for adding a camper shell to the truck to see if that’s for you guys!
I really miss the truck camper but the new (used) trailer looks brand new and very comfortable and I understand your reasoning for the change. Maybe give the refrigerator a chance before you replace it, the newer version may work better than what you are used to. I wish you the best of luck with the new setup and many, many great adventures with it!
Nice travel trailer! I hope you guys really enjoy it. We’ll be on the road with our truck camper this weekend to the Texas panhandle to work on a magazine story. We are really looking forward to getting away for a few days! Safe travels to y’all!
This isnt about the camper but I traveled to Wisconsin and Michigan for the first time last week. We camped in Mackinaw city and also saw Macinac island. Such a gorgeous state you live in!
Super cute WINNIE. YOU really need to let us know where you camp at. Seeing how we are Michiganders also and always looking for new place to camp in our home state.
Not sure why on the fridge. I travel with the propane on and it does fine. Even off grid never having to worry about battery drain. My 20ft dutchman came with a dometic.
Just discovered your channel, I like it. We spend a lot of time in Michigan camping. ( we are from Ontario, Canada.) Michigan is absolutely fantastic! What I don’t get, is these fire pits. We have experienced them and you can’t really see the fire, being they are so walled up and you can’t get any heat through that thick concrete wall. This is literally the only complaint. We love all the wilderness and outdoor adventures Michigan provides and the people of the state are always fun to be around.
Hey Connor and Amelia, I carry 2 blue water containers that hold 7 gallons each. I will use this water for dishes, doggy water, and flushing the toilet. For dishes I mix the container water with hot water. This allows for more water for showers.
I would work on getting torsion bars and anti sway bar for towing. Also you could get a golf cart to haul in the back of the truck to ride around the campgrounds
We don’t care what type of camper you two use, we’re just glad to be along for the ride.
First time watching! A couple of things we do.
Get a socket that fits your jack and bring a battery-powered drill. Makes it so much easier. I've heard people convert their hitch jack with a nut to do the same. We just upgraded to a power hitch jack. Beats having to crank.

I’ve had them all from pop-ups, truck campers, travel trailers to fifth wheels. They all have their pros and cons. It is nice to just disconnect and have a go to town vehicle!! Good luck with the new camper good choice in my opinion!!
Congrats! You handled everything like a pro!
Something for the tip jar 👊🏻Or a treat for Mr. Barkley 😺

Nice camper. Tandem's is the best choice.
Well, Connor. When things seem to fall apart, you always have Amelia's smile to put a smile on your face and brighten everyone's day.
Get a Level-mate, it makes leveling your trailer easy peasy...
Winnebago campers are pretty solid overall. Glad all the “issues” weren’t really issues.

Always turn off your main water source and retract your awning before leaving for a day trip.
We have been doing both of these things, glad to know others do as well
Do you have a lock on the hitch so the trailer doesn't get stolen while you are away from the campsite?
We have a 2022 Winnebago with a 12v fridge. For camping with no electric hookup we would much prefer propane fridge since we continue to struggle with enough battery power even with lithium.

12v Fridge. are grate they cool real fast. Puting things in them is just like you home one. No more slow cooling.
16:00 that mural looks 3D.

Y’all did the right thing with switching campers
A must in a tandem axle trailer is X-chalks you won’t regret and never go without. Cheers!

Hey guys, you can also leave the water hose attached so you don’t have to fill the water tank
So excited to see you on your first adventure, even with all trials and tribulations you experienced…you’ll get ‘r all figured out in due time as you always have before!
3 pieces of advise, for now, that I’ve learned from following a lot of YTers

We plan to learn a lot haha
Congratulations. I don’t care what you rv in. Enjoy both of you. Great outlook on life. Be safe. Look forward to your travels
Thank you for the continued support!
We love your new set up. We have a 17ft. Salem and a 30 ft. Fifth wheel. Use them for different kinds of camping.

Very fun video 📹 😀. Look forward to many more adventures in your new camper.
Enjoy your new camper and have many more exciting adventures trips 🎉
Love that you went to a trailer! Looking forward to seeing many more adventures.
Yall will have so much fun!
Congrats!! Good for you trying new things! Looking forward to seeing your adventures!
We love a new adventure, and we've been very happy with our trailer!
Congratulations and enjoy yourselves and thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Read all your manuals. It will just take a little bit to get used to all the new systems. You got it!❤🙏
That's the plan! Thanks for the tips
It is important to level your RV for the refrigerator. You can get the RV Graduated Adhesive Backs to level your camper.
Am happy shot you both. Enjoy
Beautiful camper glad too see you guy's say hi too barkley and enjoy your life ❤❤❤
Looked like everything went so smooth. You guys did very well with new camper. Perfect weather. See you next time.❤

On the comment. You have 400ah, but how many watts solar? Also need DC-DC relay.
@@richardsalmon6040 600 watts of solar
Love the camper! Enjoy every minute! Jane❤🙏
Thanks Jane!
We are so excited to see you in your trailer as that is what we are doing too. We are getting a 3/4ton ram and an Airstream trailer. Also we are in the process of buying 5 acres with a cabin on it. So what you are doing is the same as us. We are planning a year long trip around the U.S.A. So watching you is inspiring for us as well.

Thanks for the input, do you have a brand preference on the 12v fridge? Reviews seem all over the board so want to pole our audience
@@LivingLargeCamping This Dometic is the only one I’ve used so far, so unfortunately I can’t help you with that question. If there are a few that you are trying to pick between, I’d probably go with the one with a better warranty, if there is one that is better, or which one has better customer service in case you do run into issues down the road.

we have a magic chef 12v 10.7 cuf fridge and we really love it . its 2 years old with no issues at all

Not sure if you filled up from the dump station supply but I recommend a potable source instead.

An awesome switch up! Love coming along for the adventures!!
I really like your camper, it’s so nice to be able to exsplorer the area. You can use a drill to raise and lower your stabilizer
I've looked at the drill adapter attachment, might have to pick one up!
Congrats! This new trailer looks awesome 😍👍🏻👌🏻💫
I highly recommend Nova Kool refrigerators, we have one in our truck camper. They were originally designed for boats/yachts. They are extremely quiet and ours doesn't need to be vented outside.

That a Beautiful Camper. Hope you guys really enjoy it.
We would love your videos even if you guys were in a tent, a lean-to, a shanty, hammock camping, whatever!
Way to go with the flow!!
Great video, you will enjoy the new trailer
Of course we love you no matter what you’re camping in.
You both got this!
Wow what a cool little camper to zip around with... Keep a eye out for a nice little ground mat for under your awning at the door. The stroller for your fur baby is a useful clever idea. I carry 3 5 gallon bottles, I fill at water fill station. The convenience of 3 way power for the frig give it a chance to work for you both! Im enjoying this new camping experience! Be safe, and have fun. Toledo 💙
Thank you!
I am excited. Maybe it’s time for a comfy back pack for the pup. Nice dinner.
Great viedo,enjoy your new camper!!
I hope you got some spoons when you went exploring lol 😂 ❤
Lol, we do have spoons now!
You are doing great learning the new set up is fun
Love it. You guys are soooo fun! Thank you
Thank you, Tina!
My wife and I really like the new camper……what you need now is a truck topper on you truck to be able to take things along camping and keeping them secure……check out KYD’s reason for adding a camper shell to the truck to see if that’s for you guys!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
I really miss the truck camper but the new (used) trailer looks brand new and very comfortable and I understand your reasoning for the change. Maybe give the refrigerator a chance before you replace it, the newer version may work better than what you are used to. I wish you the best of luck with the new setup and many, many great adventures with it!
Nice travel trailer! I hope you guys really enjoy it. We’ll be on the road with our truck camper this weekend to the Texas panhandle to work on a magazine story. We are really looking forward to getting away for a few days! Safe travels to y’all!
This isnt about the camper but I traveled to Wisconsin and Michigan for the first time last week. We camped in Mackinaw city and also saw Macinac island. Such a gorgeous state you live in!
Super cute WINNIE. YOU really need to let us know where you camp at. Seeing how we are Michiganders also and always looking for new place to camp in our home state.
Not sure why on the fridge. I travel with the propane on and it does fine. Even off grid never having to worry about battery drain. My 20ft dutchman came with a dometic.
Just discovered your channel, I like it. We spend a lot of time in Michigan camping. ( we are from Ontario, Canada.) Michigan is absolutely fantastic! What I don’t get, is these fire pits. We have experienced them and you can’t really see the fire, being they are so walled up and you can’t get any heat through that thick concrete wall. This is literally the only complaint. We love all the wilderness and outdoor adventures Michigan provides and the people of the state are always fun to be around.
Thanks for watching! And yes, the fire pits seem a little odd by design..
Nice shakedown trip! I love your cookware. Would you mind sharing the brand?
It should be level so that the fridge runs correctly and slide out moves out smoothly, if you had one.
Thank you for sharing. I am looking forward to your new adventure with your new camper. How does Barkley like it? You did good. Be safe and God Bless
Hey Connor and Amelia,
I carry 2 blue water containers that hold 7 gallons each. I will use this water for dishes, doggy water, and flushing the toilet. For dishes I mix the container water with hot water. This allows for more water for showers.
I think you made a fantastic discussion this have to find out everything you have to do before you go long distance
I would work on getting torsion bars and anti sway bar for towing. Also you could get a golf cart to haul in the back of the truck to ride around the campgrounds
That would be fun!
