My bad 65 Gallon Bladder by FoundGo, nice price $50.00. DO NOT get the AuquaTank2, started leaking on the second use.

Wow! Sounds like you've got a good system down. I can definitely see how that would be helpful to be able to dry camp for several weeks.

@@RoginaRoamingstay away from the Auqatank2. My aquatank2 started leaking on the 2nd refill. Milwaukee 18v Batteries been very helpful also, if you have starlink. I have 2 of the 18v to 120v converter running of (2) 12 amp hr batteries. 1 for the starlink, other for the Television. Also spare 8 amp hr battery for ther cordless water pump. Also the Iceco 12v 58qt fridge/freezer I stored under the bunk section for extra week and 1/2 food storage.

That sounds like a good plan! We have a similar setup and we don't use the portable panel often but it's great to have for those times you need it.

These are great tips! I've never considered spray bottles for the dishes. And I can see battery string lights inside being super helpful before we had lithium batteries. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, that is great to hear! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😁

That's a great tip and a nice addition to the list. Thanks for sharing!

We're in California. You can probably tow with that but it may shorten the lifespan of your vehicle. Also, you'll feel the wind a lot more and struggle with inclines.

No problem!

At the end of the video you mention that info is on your website. Should have waited to comment until the end. Lol

Glad you found it helpful! In the video description you'll find links to blog articles for the different campgrounds. You'll find specific campsite recommendations for most of the campgrounds in those posts.

Agreed! The amount of elks wandering around felt really special to see.

Great points, thanks for sharing this info! Definitely important to stay safe. We did see several warning signs when we were there that hopefully people will take seriously.

Sounds like you guys have been to some awesome campgrounds! These are great additions! Thank you for the suggestions. We definitely plan to make a trip to Burney Falls someday in the near future.

Are you looking for something in a particular county? There are some nice campgrounds near Burney and Hat Creek including Burney Falls State Park. There are also some nice options in the Eldorado National Forest such as Sunset-Union Valley. I've heard good things about Pinecrest, though we haven't made it there yet. And we always enjoy Tahoe. We like Donner Memorial in Truckee and Nevada Beach near South Lake.

We use a 2021 Ram 1500 Limited. We started with a 2011 Dodge Dakota and needed to upgrade. We have a video talking about our tow vehicle here: th-cam.com/video/RKLWCTR6hBs/w-d-xo.html

They may be in the blue owners manual bag that came with the trailer. If they are missing you can get some similar bolts on Amazon. They are size M10. These should work: amzn.to/3Wppqt3

Tents are allowed at all of those campgrounds, though I wouldn't recommend tent camping at Doran Regional Park. There is a lot of wind there and we've seen some tent campers having a pretty rough time with it. I don't include prices just because that info can change but these are all regional and state parks so the average cost is around $40/night. I plan to add some more details next time I create a video like this so I appreciate the feedback 😊

It really was a nice place to camp. We loved being in the middle of the redwoods.

No problem!! I hope it works out well for you!

No problem! Glad it helped 😊

Thank you so much for the feedback! I agree, next time I plan to add a few stats 😊

No problem! Glad it was helpful 😊

That does sound nice, I'm glad there are some pros. 😊

@@RoginaRoaming im thankful to live in CAlifornia, a state that cares about its environment and parks.....50% of California is public open space, 2% of texas is public open space.....we are truly blessed

I completely agree! It's awesome to have so many beautiful places to explore. We love the state parks here.

The black and gray tanks are the same size, 30 gallons each.

@@RoginaRoaming Thank you! Very informative video! The trailer we are considering has a 44 gallon fresh water tank and the grey and black tanks are each 39 gallons. Our truck is an F150 poweboost with the 7.2kW pro-power inverter/generator, plus the trailer will have the max solar package and extra lithium battery capacity, so electrical power while boondocking shouldn't be an issue. So with just my wife and I using the tanks, it sounds like we should be able to stay off-grid for at least a week before we need to find a dump station.

That sounds like a nice setup! I would think you would be fine.

Thanks for watching! Hopefully our experiences will help others 😊

Thank you! Yes, the regular light looks like the standard puck lights. It does also have an option to dim the regular light by holding the button down when the regular light is on. When the lights are off, clicking the button once turns the regular light on. To turn the blue light on you hold the button instead. In either case one button click turns the light off. And for the regular light there's the extra feature of being able to dim by holding the button. Hope that helps!

@@RoginaRoaming Awesome! Thanks again.

Great question! We have a couple things we do to clean the top side. First, you can pull the elbows on the side supports that hold the awning. You know how you can pull one side down to tilt the awning during rain so it runs off the side? To clean it you can pull both sides and that way the awning is angled down. Angle both sides down as low as they can go so you can reach as much as possible. You can then wet it down with a hose and then use the magic eraser mop or even a regular mop to reach some of those hard to clean places. The other way we clean the top is we roll it in a little bit at a time and then use a broom to sweep the top. This helps us when we're packing up at camp and the top is covered with pine needles, leaves or dirt. It isn't the best way to clean it with water though because it needs to be left out to dry. Good luck with your awning!!Hopefully this helps!

Wow! Sounds like you've made lots of changes! Those sound like some great improvements. 😊

No problem! I hope it helped!

We love that game 😁

Glad you liked it! No, we haven't been to many Southern California campgrounds yet.

Thank you for the feedback! It's hard to know what details people will care about since everyone camps differently so I left it pretty vague. I've been thinking next time I do a video like this that I should include more details and have been trying to decide what would be the most helpful. So thank you for the input! I took some notes and hopefully there will be improvements in the future. 😁

Thank you!! So glad you found it helpful!

Glad you enjoyed it! There are so many good options.

Nevada Beach is one of my favorites and I think September is the best time to go 😁 But yeah, you definitely need to plan ahead for these. Sometimes you can get lucky by getting cancelled sites if you aren't too picky.

I don't remember seeing poison oak at Elk Prairie. It's entirely possible some of the sites have some but it wasn't prevalent.

Thanks for the suggestion! We haven't been there yet but we want to. That looks like a nice campground.

We'll have to check that out, we haven't been there yet but that definitely sounds worth a trip. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the recommendation! I just added it to our list of campgrounds we need to check out 😁

@@RoginaRoaming i'd stay away from the campsites next to Hwy 4 (noisy) . North Grove #2-11 are best imo & will fit your rig.

That is great info!! Thank you!

We did not but we did bring my in-laws who have decades of experience with trailers. It helps to have more eyes looking for issues.

I agree. It's always a bummer to see beautiful trails and not get to go because we don't want to ditch the dog. There's actually an old gravel road nearby, Cal Barrel Road, that is used as a dog-friendly trail. That was our plan but we ran out of time.

Welcome! Hopefully you get to check some of these campsites out! They aren't free, the nightly range varies by campground. Several of the State Parks are $35 a night.

Thanks! The trees of mystery was a lot of fun, I would definitely recommend it. It was a little pricey but it felt worth it. The kids loved every minute of it and it was nice how dog friendly it was.

No problem! Glad you found it helpful. Enjoy your trip!

Congrats! I'm glad you're enjoying the trailer. Montana seems like a beautiful place to camp. That's nice there are so many options 😊
