- Properly set up, the Rockwood Mini-lite is the perfect "Escape-pod". With the right solar and lithium batteries, and use of Propane instead of new DC frig, it runs off-grid for 10 days straight. NASAGUY shows you some tricks to keep cool in the summer, and how to properly configure the Rockwood 2205S from options to color schemes.
NOTE: To upgrade the WFCO Converter to Lithium requires replacing the bottom section (the charger) to the part: WF-8955-LIS-MBA ( I don't think the MBA part is relevant). The key is to match up the amperage with the unit you have. So if you have a 55 amp charger, make sure to order the 8955 with the 55 amp charger. There is a switch which allows you to change from Lithium to Lead Acid on this board. The unit which all the dealers I know install is not appropriate for lithium so make sure if you're upgrading to make sure they use this part. Note that many of the newer units are probably coming with the lithium charger included, so check to see if it has a lithium charging profile.

The battery I used is a 206 AMP HOUR Lithium battery, and is one single battery which costs around the same as one of the typical batteries. It works extremely well. It does not quite fit in a regular battery box, but I left it looking "messy" so that no one would know it was a unique set up.
It is a SOK unit: Here is a link (I don't make money off this, but found it on sale).

Excellent video sir. Great information and tips.
Love it! Color choice is perfect 👍
Thanks for the tip on the rear camera.
We have almost the exact rig on order - enjoyed your video!
Hey! Great review. My wife and I have had a cherokee rv for 10 years now,...got it new....its been great. We were shopping last weeking and loved the Mini. This video backs up everything we were thinking and feeling....next spring we'll be trading in. Thanks again.
Lol "As Josh says" nice call out!
Thanks for the review, i am really considering rhis model.
The little plastic holder in that weird pull out shelf/drawer is for your dishwashing sponges, vegetable brushes or whatever else you want to stick there. The plastic prevents water damage to your cabinets. :)
Great review, wonderful insights, and helpful education! With the honest N-S Queen, Recliner Sofa, and shower that I could fit at 6'+ 230lb ... I think it's Perfect!
Great video. We pick our 2205S up on Monday, and yes, Chocolate/Newport Ash! Quick request: could you post a picture or link to your outside window treatments. Can't quite visualize it. Thanks.
Adding to my comment. We have the Rockwood 2022 2104s
I saw someplace from a well known rep that if you add the tow platform hitch it voids the warranty ? Was an equalizer anti sway load leveling added ??? Didn’t see it in the video.
The charger replacement is a WFCO WF8955 LIS. You swap out the standard one with this unit which fits perfectly. You have to reconnect all wires, but the cool part is it provides a switch to change from lithium to lead acid if you end up using lead acid batteries.
What is the oldest one of these brands that you have owned? I like the looks, idea, but worry about delaminating, one guy had one sweating on the inside then it froze, mildewed, etc. I love the looks of these campers too.
Thanks for the great video. Picking up our 2205S in May. Wondering if you could elaborate on the battery connection issues you talked about with Lithium batteries. We will have the 380 watt Solar, Propane fridge and 2 100 ah Lithium batteries. Wondering about optimum set up?
Can't say the same about the quality of mine, plastic fender wells were only attached with 3 screws leaving big gaps to the outdoors.
Do you have a link for the window covers you installed and the link for the license plate camera. Just found this video. Great review.
HOW often do you grease your wheel bearings?
SO, How well does that 1500 tow? Seem a little on the edge.
Geeeeezzzzz, NASA Guy. Come on man.
