Instead of buying in the Spring, you can get better deals in the winter. You can also get one when the new models come out. they will have huge sales then.
Thanks for the comment and question. While I was on the roof, installing the vent covers, I inspected it. I was quite surprised at how solid, sturdy and waterproof it was. I think it will be a long time before I have to consider working on it.
Thank you for your questions and comments. Tow Speed- Texas has a strict limit on trailer speeds. "In Texas trailers must not exceed a maximum speed limit of 70 mph on the interstate during the day and 65 mph at night." We stay below this. We drive closer to 65. It is not unusual for us to fall in line behind a long string of towed RVs. Having said that, our tires are rated for 70 mph. Miles - We have put well over 6000 miles on or 17B. (8000 is probably more like it.) No real outside structural issues. A small piece of plastic trim is the only problem, so far. I will probably seal some gaps in the wheel wells with trim and foam for ant concerns.
You gave us a good idea. We were planning on doing a "Year Review and Coming Attractions" video after the the holidays. We will include a report on the things you asked about.
I knew that using the radio for the 2023 was not an option. However it is relatively easy to find some 12v service in several locations. The trick is to use your imagination on where you might put the outlets. I had considered putting the outlets on the side of the seat, down by my leg. That way I could get the power from the wires powering the water pump. I could just run the wire through the storage area under the seat. In some ways this might have been better than having the wire hanging down. There is also a power junction point under the RV, right on the frame, underneath, on the driver's side. From there you can run wires to just about everywhere. This is easy to find by tracing the wires coming from the tongue. It is exposed and easy to connect to. (Be careful. It pays to cut off all power to the unit when working on the 12 volt system. Cutting off the power WILL cut down on fuse use AND reduce the amount of cussing considerably.)
My wife and I are getting this camper next spring. Your videos are awesome and very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you. Comments like yours make it worthwhile.

Awesome. Thanks for the advice !!! Definitely noted !
What a good idea with the outlets. Definitely a pain having to use extension cords. Love the idea and will be installing these
Thanks!
Wow!!!! Great job!!!! Thank you for being quick!!! Love your videos, I’ve done the first 2 upgrades you mentioned.😊
Thank you so much for you comments. WE truly love hearing from viewers.
Great video!! Thanks for sharing. Have you considered any insulation or roof sealant upgrades?

Any videos on how many miles you’ve put on the trailer. Tow speed? Any outside structure issues?
Thank you for your questions and comments.

I love the idea of the 12v outlets, but the problem is, I have the 23 model it does not come with radio installed, I got the Bluetooth speaker instead
