Reviews of things found on the outside of the RV
In the video, I install, demo, and review a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) from a company called Guta. I was interested in reviewing the Guta TPMS because it so closely resembled my current EEZTire TPMS. The kit I got contained 8 sensors/transmitters that attach to the tire’s valve stems and an LCD for the … Read more

Usually, a couple of times a year, Anne and I visit my sister and her family at their home in Victoria, BC. We can park our RV in the driveway and hook up to power and water, but no sewer. Not having a sewer hookup limited our stay. Once the waste tanks filled up, we … Read more
In this video, I demo a 180W solar panel from a company called BougeRV. I have reviewed their 170W panels in the past, but this is the newer, more powerful panel. Overall, it looks like an OK panel build-wise and puts out close to the max-rated watts in my tests. I tested charging a 12V … Read more

It … Read more
In this video, I install several more exterior window shades. This time on the passenger side of the RV, which is exposed to the mid-day sun at our summer campsite. Outside window shades block heat/UV before it enters the windows keeping the RV cooler plus enhancing our privacy. I again went with the EZ Snap window … Read more
In this video, I replace our 10-year-old RV porch light that had become quite yellowed looking with a fresh new LED model. I chose one from a company called Kohree since it came with a built-in power switch. The RV came with an inside porch light power switch. However, a second one is required for … Read more

The AC cover will help protect the unit from the freezing weather and reduce cold drafts inside the RV. With the … Read more
For my recent birthday, Anne completely surprised me with a Country Smokers Portable Electric Wood Pellet Grill. I guess she knew for a few years now I had been mentioning how I wanted the little Traeger pellet grill. Turns out, though, that particular grill has been discontinued, and prices for Traegers in Canada are quite … Read more
In this video, I give a demo and review my new Outland Fire Bowl. It’s an LP gas fire pit with lava rocks to produce a fairly realistic little campfire. The model I got is 870, which they call the premium package. It includes an electric starter plus a metal storage lid and strap. The … Read more
For the upcoming winter, I’ve decided to install RV vinyl skirting from a company called EZ Snap. I’ve been using EZ Snap RV window shades for over three years now and found the snaps and shade material have held up well. So, when shopping for winter skirting, they were a natural option for me to … Read more

In this video, I test out a new water testing gadget I recently picked up off Amazon. The HM Digital Com-80 Hydrotester can quickly test water for both Electrical Conductivity (EC) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). First, I test the TDS found in our current RV Park water supply, and then I check the water … Read more
A few years ago, a company called Clearsource contacted me and asked for a LYRV review of their dual-stage water filter system. They claimed it was built from the ground up with RVers in mind. The water filter hardware incorporated stainless steel connections and oversize canisters along with a powder-coated steel stand. The unit looked … Read more
