  • Not sure how safe it is plugging a 30amp rig into a 50amp, I’d like to hear if anyone has done it

  • Hey Brandon! We picked up our brand new 2022 LTV Unity RL. The first thing we put inside was your insulated covers in the skylight, bathroom skylight, and both Fantastic fans. The AC is on and it’s cooling off quickly! Love your products!

  • Brandon, once again you ROCK. Thanks for keeping us in the info loop. We have 2022 LTV-RL on order (since DEC'21) Watch and read your stuff repeatedly. After our shake-down cruise would like to come to TX for complete options' upgrade…if that's doable.

  • Your skylight covers work really well. My husband was impressed.

  • Hope you both feel better soon. Glad you had a mild case

  • Good stuff here. Just those little things such as quick disconnects saves time in setting up. A 2 way hose adapter / splitter is handy also (to have a extra hose w sprayer for misc use).
    I feel your COVID pain. At the tail end of our 3 week trip was the Orleans Jazz Fest staying at the French Quarter RV Resort. With an estimation of about 250K people during our 4 day weekend pass; I'm 'guessing' that's where we caught it. Wife was still negative returning home. So there I am, living in the FX, camped in our driveway. Similarly; a couple days later we both had it. Typical cold-like symptoms (sneezing, stuffy nose, congestion, occasional headaches). Not fun.

  • Over a year ago we had ordered a Wayfarer 25tb at Vogt. It came on April 1st and that is when our problems began. Mercedes safety recall (torsion bar), Onan recall; the new diesel generator would start, but stop when put under load. Our inspector found a 140 page punch list with defects and on 40 pages of pictures, we saw what he did. Since the Wayfarer is still sitting at the dealership, we cancelled the order and ordered an LTV Unity, twin bed and will wait and see how long it takes for the unit to show up. Love your channel. Thank you.

  • Happy to hear you're at the end of that bout with Covid. I hope your wife is doing okay as well. Good list of well-considered must haves. You have it down to a most practical assortment of items that make RV-ing so much easier. I'm anxious to see that new RV choice, btw. Thank you for another excellent video !

  • Hi Brandon I purchased a 2021 LTV Wonder RTB, our rig came with one of your cutting boards! I’m on the waiting list for one of your skylight and shower covers insulators. When will they be available? Love your youtube channel! Thanks
