Thank you for your videos. I’m a subscriber for sure. These mods are all so smart and so clean. I have so many questions, but maybe I’ll start with the battery swap. Did you have to change your charge controller for the LiFe or was it a swap and go? Amazon doesn’t have the Renogy anymore, so would you have another recommendation or should I try to find the Renogy somewhere else. I also have a GD Imagine (3100RD, 2023 model), the same truck (AT4 trim) and just bought the Bluetti you have, so thanks for your other vids that have helped me solve a few other issues. I’m thinking of trying your portable battery install in my TT with the Bluetti. Thanks for the time you put into your vids. Some of the best on KZitem.

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. For converter/charger question: Thankfully on my 2024 unit, Grand Design is using a converter/charger from WFCO that is "auto-sensing" for lithium and lead-acid. It basically tries to identify the charging profile of the connected battery and then it'll determine lithium or lead-acid without any intervention. It mostly works as expected...only one time after discharging the lithium to nearly 0% accidentally did I notice the WFCO stumbling to figure out it was lithium and charge it to full. All that to say, check if your WFCO has that feature as I don't know when Grand Design switched to using it. The older WFCO models are really lead-acid only so if you use with lithium it'll only get you up to about 80% charge or so. If that is your case unfortunately you might have to buy a replacement charger...they are pretty simple to install worst case. For the battery question, there are tons of great batteries out there and a lot of mixed opinions with all the price points and questionable safety/reputability of the newer brands. Battleborn is the gold standard, but recently so many other good alternatives have been put to test that are far more affordable dollar for dollar and offer 80% or more of the features and performance at less than half the price. Renogy in my mind has kinda been a mid-grade player, but very reputable. I like that the Pro model has the self-heating and bluetooth built-in. Here is a link to buy off Renogy's site direct: renogy.sjv.io/m5Wkb1 All that to say there are other good batts out there...I haven't used others presonally, but plenty of other reviewers out there to help. Anyway, appreciate you watching and if any other questions just let me know.

Does that dehumidifier run off 12 volts?
@AdventureRocks
2 ай бұрын
Mine is 120V due to compressor demands: kzitem.info/news/bejne/w6qmz51nppyqkqg It has WiFi connectivity so I can easily monitor while it is stored (I keep mine plugged into to shore power in storage). I would imagine we'll start seeing some better 12V dehumifiers come to market soon with advances in compressor technology though.

Great video! How did you do the trash can?
@AdventureRocks
8 күн бұрын
Thank you. I probably did it the hard way as I didn't want to take out the shelf in my 21BHE and reinstall it...so cutting the hole was a little tricky. Surprisingly the Rubbermaid 7 Gal can fits perfectly in that space: amzn.to/3ArSKIi I made a pattern of the top/opening with piece of cardboard and made it about 1/2" larger on all sides. Then I traced the pattern to the shelf and used an oscillating mult-tool to cut out the opening. Same oscillating tool to gently sand the cut edges. Next I used this edging below to trim it out: amzn.to/3Md07px The edging has some metal in it that kinda "grabs" the wood and locks into the lip to make a nice smooth trimmed edge all the way around. It's not perfect as with the lower frame of the cabinet opening, you have to slightly angle the can to tip/get it out, but I just tie up the trash bag first...regular 13 gal kitchen drawstring bags work great. Anyway, hope that all makes sense. If I left out any details just let me know.

Awesome work yet again. For the LED down lights, did you have to add additional DC power down the line of the long light runs? Our GDRV has a couple of lights under the master bedroom slide with a switch in the wet bay, I’m thinking about tapping into that for similar control. I will check your videos to see if you documented the downlight led install. Is the Jayco Pinnacle, I believe it was the pinnacle, out of your fleet now?
@AdventureRocks
10 күн бұрын
Thank you! Appreciate the kind words. On my Grand Design they had put a tiny blue LED by the sewer outlets out back and a switch inside the wet bay so I actually re-provisioned that existing power and disconnected the tiny LED and used that power for the new lights. I plan to do a more detailed video soon, perhaps in the fall. I think your plan with the existing lights under slide sounds like a great one...the lights are so low draw on power and typically GD puts a decent thickness of wire feeding them so it is perfectly acceptable to daisy-chain and pull power there in most cases. And, yes I did sell the Pinnacle. Had a lovely time with it, but I'm enjoying some of the new places we can go and fit into being smaller with this travel trailer.

@@AdventureRocks for the outrigger braces that have narrow gaps, I’m assuming your frame is similar, did you just butt each channels edge to the outrigger or was there enough space to fit the channel in that gap?

@@scrub175 Surprisingly on mine the gap was the perfect space to slide the aluminum channel...just barely enough clearance. I think it's pretty standard across frames, so hopefully it'll fit on yours too. It was a straight path, no obstacles and it came in 3ft sections so was easy to slide in a section at a time. Very clean and protected in the end.

Have you considered upgrading the stabilizer jacks? Or are the scissor jacks good enough? I also might need to tuck those up underneath / higher if possible, since my driveway has a hill to it... 😬
@AdventureRocks
27 күн бұрын
I hear you. Initially I thought about replacing them as the thought of basic scissor jacks seemed cheap to me. But, after using it 9 months I've changed and I'm quite content with them. I added snap pads to them so that I never have to add pads underneath and I actually kinda like the simplicity. I just have to keep them greased and be careful not to over-extend/raise when stabilizing. The Lippert speed jacks were the replacements I was leaning toward initially...found on some Ember units as OEM. Otherwise the more conventional electric stabilizers that have been out for a while would work, but then there's the added complexity of motors and switches.

Another excellent video with many great ideas! Thank you for sharing!! Love the “if you know, you know” comment and I definitely am in the know. Bought a bunch of parts trying to rig up my own creative engineering bidet and still trying to figure out if I have all the pieces I’ll need before ripping into it. Never knew there was already one designed to fit, so that’s definitely going on the list. But first, I’m trying to find the backup camera you are using and I cannot find it (with any degree of confidence). The one on GM’s website says it does not fit my ‘24 Sierra. And, I don’t see it on your Amazon store. Could you, would you, point me in the right direction? I understand it works with the infotainment display as well? I was going crazy wondering why my lippert wireless wasn’t working properly after trading up from my last pickup until I found the many mentions of this issue being caused by their PWM power scheme. Have the harness to rectify that on the way but I’d rather have a more integrated solution. Cheers!

Thank you! For my 2024, the GM part I ordered is 85118298. It's my understanding there is an older, but similar looking camera for the trucks pre-2024 and they are not interchangeable. So I believe for 2024 and newer you need 85118298 and of course the pre-wired connectr on back of truck by license plate. It's pretty slick...very high resolution. I plan to do a video review on it soon. I think main thing I'd like to see change is ability to add guidance lines on the trailer camera, similar to backup lines.

For the ceiling fan upgrades did you have to remove the sealant on the roof and then reapply?
@AdventureRocks
2 ай бұрын
Yes, it was a PAIN. Always a big inconvenience, but I've had to do it on pretty much every RV I've owned. Just have to take your time and carefully scrape/pull away at the old sealant without damaging the roof membrane. Typically you'll need about 1-2 tubes of lap-sealant per 14" vent, so I needed 4 total combined. And you have to use the Alpha systems sealant (instead of more common Dicor) for the Imagine XLS as they use a different membrane.
