Thank you!!!! I just bought it! I assume just trining the fridge to 0 means that is off for when I am not using it? Also great idea with that rug! Thanks again!
@@GTOhio thank you!!! I took it camping this past weekend for first time and was able to figure everything out. A couple of my neighbors approached me and asked if I needed any help. That’s why I love camping (glamping???) 😁

How did you know where to install the TV mount?
I had asked the service tech while going through the walk through.
@@GTOhio nice, my guy said it couldn't be done
@@dustinroberts5826 that is where the metal backer plate is, stick to 3/4 “ screws and it won’t be a problem
@@GTOhio thanks !
How many gallons does the water tank hold?
Disregard. 21.
