@@kwhitney2790 the leveling is built into the legs with spinning the legs you can adjust the pitches of the grill. Comes with the grill.

We also can’t wait. Riverbend is a good place to, especially if you like at river access. Good luck with your camping season.

The temps during the day were in the mid 70's during this trip. Thanks for the great question and checking out the video.

When we had a propane fridge in our last trailer we could almost got a whole camping season on 1 set of 30lb bottles . That’s like 30-40 nights a year. So cost wise for the consumer is cheaper for a propane fridge. Arizona is prime for great solar , and as you said like up here in the northwest we have to fight a bit harder for good solar. Looks like your setup should do fine in good conditions. We did a test in another video with good solar and our 390 watts could keep up with the 12v fridge. Thanks for the great comment !

@@UniqueAdventurez Thanks for this update and reply. Very helpful and useful info.

For sure a fair amount of walking, greatful for elevators between the upper and lower resterauts / pools. And that walk from the marina was no joke, really steep. If needed we did see people just getting cab rides right up to the front door. Great points !!!

@@joewickie2376 especially into these types of campgrounds where there really is no resources to give you an idea of what can fit. Glad it helped you out. It’s a great spot.

Hopefully not everyone will have the same issues we did. But the Victron is far superior in every way. You won’t regret it !

That is correct, all the shore sites are dry camping. But they do have some amazing views

Tortuga as soo good.... We also did a top resteraunt review as well and Tortuga Bay was our hands down #1 spot to eat. The whale bar had a good vibe as well. This resort was really good. And yes for sure to tip the wait staff by the pool. We had some great service every day by the pool area. Thanks for the great comment !!!!

@@UniqueAdventurez - Very welcome.....another good tip was to bring $2 bills... we used them for tips all over the resort....staff loved it.

Smash bugers are always a camping favorite , especially on the blackstone.

It's a interesting campground and not all sites are equal, we love giving that site by site experience that I think is necessary at this campground. Thanks as always !!!!

Glad to hear you had a great time, site 13 is a great spot! Can’t really go wrong at Big Pines. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Yeah that site is a great site, but people do cut through there a bit. Pitfalls of being close to the trailhead. Fort Worden is such an amazing state park. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Kinda is like a super blizzard , but they advertise as a really thick milkshake. Still amazing regardless .

never thought of looking on ebay. Hopefully shipping and fees aren't too bad.

Sorry about your AGM Batteries, that stinks. As for your question and setup listed it really depends on what your fridge draws. Ours is 70-90 ah a day. So personally we setup our system around worse case scenario for a weekend out, which without solar it barely gets the job done. I think you are on the right track with 400+ ah of battery. We also did a test with solar as well in another video and our 380 watts can keep up with the fridge with good conditions. We have also since added 200 more Ah of lithium for a total of 400 ah now and love having the extra power on our weekend trips. As for your specific question regarding 4x100ah vs 2x280 ah it really just depends on your budget and your footprint for the battery storage. When we first purchased one of the factors at the time was chargeability/ dischargability. having 2 independent BMS's (1 in each battery) could mean that we could take in/output more power safely as some bigger batteries at the time we using fairly similar BMS systems regardless of battery size. As with most batteries now having better BMS systems to reflect the Ah's in the cells. I don't think that theory is as relevant going into 2025. But you should still check how much power can be charged and discharged per BMS. Those would be my concerns and making sure you are getting a good battery and a good warranty. For sure make sure to shop around and find the battery, manufacturer and price that meets your needs. Sometimes the cheapest batteries aren't the best , nor are the most expensive. Hope that helps you out as you navigate Lithium. You will see a major change in your charging as well with that 600 watts of solar. Should be a pretty sweet setup regardless. Just make sure you use a shunt to monitor your power.

@@UniqueAdventurez Thank you for the thoughtful reply!

Great question. We are at stock height. But did gain at bit of height just from the tire change.

Totally right. Trying to cover as many forms as possible ,but truck campers and vans will work in those spots as well. Totally annoying and we are seeing it more and more as we visit a bunch of these older campgrounds.

Great question. We will be adding some more ground solar to chase around the sun during this offseason. Personally for our rig I think a ground unit will be better for us as opposed to drilling more holes in our roof. Nothing wrong with decking a roof in solar and I think others with our floor plan have got close to 600-800 watts on the roof. Sounds like you have a killer setup that is highly mobile, those Eagle Caps are really nice.

@@thepolkster46 thank you for the feedback.

Thank you for coming along with us !!

Truly has been so far. I will assume the fun you take care of it and use what is intended for it , it should last . Thanks for the great comment

Awesome. We were torn between ours and the 14. Love having that extra burner !!

We were definitely learning with this recipe. And probably was too focused with tue filming. Have since done this recipe again with better results . Thanks for the comment !!

Appreciate the kind words !!

Didn’t really it’s e about the topped trees, but don’t doubt anything while they were doing construction to the sites. We are hoping that as the vegetation grows back it will fill out giving more privacy.

I think you are asking if amp hours are the same as watt hours and the answer is no.

It’s was pretty sweet . The fish were everywhere

It’s all gorgeous land around the area . I bet it’s just as beautiful. Can’t beat river front property.

Great question . There is water and power at every site , except 15-18 which are tent only pack in sites

They won’t disappoint. It’s was all really good !!

@@KoneTravelVlog no need to reserve times . Just show up a little before you want to be seated. Good to hear from you !! It’s a great resort with some great food.

Absolutely….. and uses the same adapter as the older Blackstone’s. The adapter works very well.

Thank you , it was a fun time and a great way to explore the town. We had a great time there.

It definitely looked like some trimming could be needed .

For our setup this panel was below our fridge. We still had to take the panel out to replace it. Not sure where the outside fridge access would have helped us here.

I don’t remember having much coverage there

It’s a great place to stop and get a quick bite. There are for sure some good places on the backroads around Mt Rainer . Thanks as always . Glen and Kim

It’s a great location for sure, we will for sure be going back.

Phyllis, thank you for the kind words. We also had pasted this one for years before coming. The river view sites are great and being able to get down to the river for some wadding in the summer is another great benefit. Thanks for following along with the reviews.

For sure , if you are off the highway , it’s not that bad . Thanks for checking out the video !

At 13:02 you can see that on the old panel had a couple of DC items on 1 fuse for a fair amount of positions. We decided to make some independent fuse positions and not combine all of them back up. Thus going from 5 fuse positions to 9.
