In this video, I give you a look at and demo an interesting new RV gadget some fellow full-time RVer friends have developed. The Canhang enables you to use an ordinary broom or wash brush pole to place the hanger onto the RV roof gutter rail or slide-out edge. Canhang is a patent-pending system for … Read more
In this video, I demo and review a 100 amp-hour 12V lithium battery from Aolithium. The battery looks well made and utilizes quality components like grade “A” CALB brand lithium cells. But what intrigued me was the inclusion of Bluetooth data connectivity. A feature not often seen in a battery that sells in the same … 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
I thought now would be a good time to publish an update on a pair of my core RV boondocking products I have previously reviewed. First, the heart of our system, three Lion Energy Safari UT1300 lithium-type batteries. Second an Energizer 2000 watt gas generator from Midland Power. I’ve used the products for a decent … Read more
In this video, I demo a lithium battery-operated portable pressure washer from Lippert called the Power Max Pro. The Power Max Pro is Lippert’s new replacement to the previous Flow Max I reviewed last year. Now that we are back out doing some RV traveling again, I’ve been able to test it out more. It … Read more
In this post, I demo and review an interesting portable fridge/freezer product from ACOPOWER. Their LiONCooler portable fridge/freezer has the ability to be powered by an AC outlet, DC car charger, and a solar panel. Even cooler is it comes with a removable/rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack that can power the LiONCooler all on its own! … Read more
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
In this video, I demo and then install a Go Power! TS-30 transfer switch into my 2011 Keystone Cougar fifth-wheel trailer. I’m using the transfer switch to automatically and safely transfer input power between my Safari ME portable power station’s 2000W inverter output and the 30 amp shore power when I plugin at a campground. … Read more
In this video, I review the Safari ME portable power station from Lion Energy. This isn’t my first time reviewing a Lion Energy product. In fact, two years ago I installed and reviewed their UT1300 12V RV lithium battery offering. Over the months that followed, I published a number of updates and demo videos. They … Read more
In this video, I show off my latest little gadget called the Flowtool Shaker Siphon. The shaker siphon is a handy low-cost tool for transferring liquids via gravity siphon. Recently I needed to remove 25 gallons of marine gas out of my wife’s boat as it had gotten too old and needed to be disposed … Read more
Three years ago, I installed several different RV cooling fan products from a Taiwanese company called Titan. The fans weren’t exactly on the cheap side but decent quality and rated IP55 for water and dust resistance. They have performed well over the 3 years, helping to keep our absorption RV refrigerator cooling well even during … Read more
I was recently contacted by a company called Acuva and asked if I would be interested in being an affiliate for their LED-UV water purification product. I said possibly but would first pick one up and give it a try for a few months, especially when boondocking, and get back to them. They were nice … Read more
Our Keystone Cougar fifth wheel recently turned 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve always done a decent job of cleaning and maintaining my roof. Spending a lot of time on the rainy west coast, it is a priority to prevent leaks or else end up with a moldy, rotting camper. So. I was happy … Read more
Over the years, I’ve reviewed several portable lithium battery power stations, often referred to as solar generators. For example, the Jackery 1000 and Himcen 740P. I found both were well built but lacked the inverter power to handle higher wattage AC loads. So when Bluetti contacted me asking for a review of their AC200P model, … Read more
