PRO TIP! NEVER "check" around the ball and trailer receiver with your fingers like that, EVER! My boat trailer binds like this all the time and I have witnessed that connection suddenly pop open or closed with like a mouse trap, its super-fast and you could never react in time! Especially when you already know its binding or under a load as the risk of it suddenly letting go is always present even if you think it's unlikely! Why take and unnecessary risk and lose some fingers. Otherwise, excellent review and love that rig. We are on the verge of buying the Aucta Willow Rover version and we can take all of the advice you have for us as well. Your advice with everything else was excellent and appreciated. I do wish inTech would have added an automatic propane switch, so you don't have to switch tanks, but not a biggie. And the propane cover release buttons were indeed a pro tip! Fantastic!
I’m looking at the Magnolia and Willow. How are you negotiating the best price? I’m definitely not paying MSRP when other prices were 40 - 50% off at the fall Hershey RV Show.
I have a 2022 Eclipse and had a heck of a time unhitching…finally figured out what you did. Pull the truck backwards or forward with the chains on. Works every time. After a few trips it loosens up and gets easier. Thanks for the tip on turning the jack around!
Chris needs to teach owing your camper for dummies he has a way of explaining things that are interesting to viewers, and his tip & tricks are great. can't wait to see your next trip
No matter how long I’ve been doing something, I always pick up something new. Putting the power cord underneath the camper to keep it cool - great idea. BTW, we added SnapPads a year ago in the stabilizers. Makes it much faster to set up - I remember how y’all said you move fast in your travels. We also added the OneStep wheel chocks, makes removing them a lot easier. Always enjoy your videos.
InTech Sol Horizon Rover here. Great video, that’s for posting. I wound recommend that the very first thing you do, before leveling, etc…check the power pedestal first. I also run the water spigot without anything connected to clear anything that might be nesting in the spigot.
Love that you are already considering mods, LOL!! When my husband and I saw you going into the equipment storage compartments (great bags BTW, have put those on our RV wish list), we had commented that it would be cool if you had one of those slide out equipment shelves for your things. Then you went around to the other side of the RV and we saw the one for the kitchen items and thought "yep won't be long before you'll be installing those on the other side too!" We're hopefully getting closer to an RV purchase and dutifully taking notes from your past videos as well as these new ones!
I enjoyed this videeo. Well done content. Im going to eye ball a twin bed version of this next week i think, as well as look at the Sol Dusk. I like the the larger.rig, ut Im driving a 1/2 ton truck and not sure i want to mess with a wd hitch any more.
We have found that the Power Watch Dog to be one of our best investments. It is well worth the $. Also something I have always done since I started tent camping 40+years ago was to always check to make sure I had power at the campsite box first thing. It only took me once to set up my tent in the blazing heat of the day to find out the power did not work and they moved me to another site. So now especially since we are in our Intech Sol Horizon that takes a lot more set up than a tent, I plug in my cell phone charger to the 20 amp right away and hook up the Power Watch dog to the 30 amp and make sure we get a white light indicator that all is good.
I've done 37' Montana 5th wheels and Bigfoot 3000 campers and to each there own but, yeah lots of work and now rooftop pop up tent on my 4 x 4 ram diesel dually and Motels. Easy Peasy
At 18:04 when you were running water through the new filter and your right hand was on the sewer dump? Ewwww...! One thing I do (especially at a full hook up site) is clean off the water spigot and handle with a Clorox wipe. I also use a Zero G (best thing ever) and will keep it coiled in one of those storage bags under the trailer just to keep it off the ground as much as possible, again because it's a full hook up site and accidents happen. As you mentioned, I attach the filter at the spigot end so there is less tugging pressure on the hookup at the trailer. Thank you for mentioning the ease of turning the electric jack head as I need to do that too. Congratulations on your new trailer!
I agree... ewww🤢 I honestly didn't notice it until we were putting the video together. We were focused on video making and will have to be more careful in the future
I'm intrigued to know how you're setting up your clothes storage. I think you may have shown it in the initial tour, but wondering if it's working out or if you need to change anything.
@audiomxr We are heading out in a few weeks for a long trip. That will be the true test. I believe the shelves we added will work great though. I'll video it when we load everything.
Great Video, at 18:00, we had the same problem once, there was a small drip from the water hose not being connected tightly enough, and we got an error message on our tankless heater, so we had to take it apart and let it dry out, worked fine after that, so the suction cup is a great idea to pull it away. Really poor design Intech !!
Two questions. How does this trailer tow? I’m considering buying one and would like to know how much air resistance it has? And is there enough storage for food and clothing?
One comment from experience…when turning on the water, have someone inside, or immediately go inside. I’ve had our kitchen tap left on (or somehow vibrated on during travel) and water was pouring all over the place because we had also swung the kitchen tap against the wall to carry stuff in the sink. Perhaps you had already checked that before you hit the water on. I know I will never make the same mistake again!! :-)
I want this trailer but concerned about insulation they use, they use bubble wrap. I can’t get an answer if other owners experience condensation on the interior walls. We live in the Midwest so camping in September can be nice during the day but temperatures could drop down in the 30’s I know it is not a four season camper but I don’t want to buy a condensation trap RV
Something I always do before connecting my fresh water hose to a campground spigot is to use a spray bottle of bleach to thoroughly spray up inside the spigot and all over the outside. If you’ve been camping for any length of time you’ve probably witnessed other campers contaminating their site’s fresh water connection with equipment they use with their black or gray water functions. Yuck!
Thank you learned lot
Interesting hitch setup it looks beefy i myself really like my pro pride it just works very well for me
Great video - I Learned a few new tips! I love how you are so organized

@cindycowan286 I'm glad it happened for this video because that's just real life situations.
Y’all seem very happy and excited about your new rig. So many great adventures lay ahead!
We head out on a big trip in a few weeks! We are so excited!!!!

That's so nice of you to say!! We can't wait to take you along on this next trip!
I don't have a camper yet. That was very educational and fun to watch

I have a Sol Dawn. I stand on my hitch every time to loosen it up. I’m glad it happens to others lol

@debbief6923 Oh man!!! Rookie mistake that I can't unsee now. 😳
Thanks for the clorox wipes suggestion! -Christy
@@TurnerMaxAdventures I figured you noticed when putting the video together! Ha!
I like my gen y hitch it's a load leveling hitch
I've had to do the same maneuver to unhitch with my Max since 2019!!!! Heard today, 8-15-24 that Xtreme is out of business.
Oh man!!! I've been hearing rumors for a while.

Do you have a link to your hitch setup; your Amz links goes to Leveler Blocks? TY
Don’t mention the little guy , gets me emotional 😂😂
@@warrenwilliams9256 awwww, our Little Guy will always hold a special place in our hearts. I understand. 😂
@@TurnerMaxAdventuresI know how y’all feel - we had a lot of fun with ours…
It is a very nice RV. Did you previously make a video or comments on why you switched from The Little Guy to this new RV?
@blairM363 no, we haven't. We loved our Max over the past 6 yrs and we just wanted a change with a little more space.
Where did you get the wind screen for the griddle? Brand and model?

Oh no!!!!! Thanks for your insight. We will add that to the list.
Currently in negotiations with my local dealer, can i ask what you paid?
Sorry but No Hut with exit ventilation over the Stove? Come on! Not for me!
Why did you decide on a larger trailer
We loved the Max, but just wanted a little more room. It's still in that sweet spot to get into our favorite National Park campgrounds.
Got it. Elbow room is nice to have
Not much time to camp after the extensive setup. Hope they have at least a week.

I heard that you will need to put something under the mattress in this camper to keep it from molding.
