Yep, exactly!

Sorry, it can be confusing. I tried to make it as simple as I could, lol! Thanks for watching.

Baskets would be a nice addition. Although, I have used the cutting board. Thanks for watching.

Good point! Thanks for the comment and watching.

Sounds like a solid tent! Especially since it's so old. Thanks for the comment and watching!

@@ColoradoCamperman On one camping trip in lower Illinois, it got super windy and the only thing that happened was that one wall bowed in slightly. I had bought a propane camping stove with 2 burners at Costco. It had 25,000 btu burners for both burners and my friend was amazed that the stove was even cooking in those gale force winds. I had to agree, as the flames were\ going sideways even with the windscreens. With a Coleman kerosene stove, we were sure the flame would have been snuffed out. I found that those on the hot side, only cook at 14,500 btu and the other burner would cook at 7,250 btu and both would have to be on full. With the propane stove, you could independently control the heat. I also found out that the average kitchen stove is 14,500 btu.

Since I don't live down there, I didn't know about those issues. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the comment and watching!

The base is $9,900 now and the model I got is $10,700. They were $1,000 off when I bought it because it was an old model. The new models have a hydraulic cooler that mine doesn't have, wish it did.

@@ColoradoCamperman Nice. I, like you did, are deciding if it is worth the drive.

@@kicker6274 Yeah, it was definitely a long drive! I'm still liking it though. I wish they did a better job at engine access though. It's a PITA to access the engine.

@@ColoradoCamperman Looks like there is now a dealer in NM, so that's good for both of us.

Where are you at?

@@ColoradoCamperman Near Canon City. Not sure if it is worth the drive to OK.

Still working great!

We still love our gazelle screen room! It is amazing. You will enjoy it. Thanks for the comment and watching.

It's worth a try! It definitely helped me. I'm still getting a ton of dust from my wheel wells. I need to use spray foam or something to fill that gap.

It has to be plugged into a 12 volt or 120 volt source.

Huh?

We sold that property last year, it is in huerfano county in Southern Colorado. Prices are a lot different than when we bought our land. Thanks for watching and have fun finding something!

Moving the panels for the proper angle and with the sun makes a huge difference! Thanks for watching!

I see where you are coming from. I wouldn't say NEVER use a powerwasher. I've been in the painting business for 20 years. I've seen plenty of homeowner's mess up fences, decks, concrete, and more with a powerwasher. Does that mean that we don't powerwash those surfaces because you can damage them? No. Someone who knows what they're doing with a powerwasher, can use it to do this job. An extension pole can definitely help! Thanks for watching.

I would check your county regulations. Some counties require permits to get a shipping container because people will buy them and build a cabin out of the container. If it's tucked in and out of sight from the road and/or satellite imagery, you'd probably be fine. Just FYI, some counties do use satellite images to enforce their regulations. My aunt had an off-grid cabin that her husband built around 25 years ago when the laws/regulations for their county were different. The county found out about the cabin once they updated their system to detect buildings based on satellites images. They tried to enforce their new laws on their old cabin. It was pretty ridiculous!

@ColoradoCamperman Wow that's crazy because when I was trying to decide what I was going to do when I first bought my recreational land, I spoke with an electrician yo get a quote on electrical service and he told me that the township Supervisor was using satellite images to enforce zoning codes and I wasn't sure if he was necessarily telling the truth because I kinda got the impression that they didn't get along and that seemed a little extreme But this is confirmation that they are using satellite imagery, manI really appreciate the good tip. Thank you

@@AJ-sb8qk Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous if you ask me. We have little to no privacy anymore these days. Glad that tip was helpful. Good luck with everything!

It probably wouldn't hurt, but I'm not sure it is 100% necessary if you're not able to.

Yeah, I have been happy with the 6.0! I wouldn't mind the extra HP, Torque, and MPG of the new engine. But didn't want to be the guinea pig for the first year.

We used our camper recreationally and didn't live in it. We also didn't have a device that took 200 watts of power. I agree it is not enough for you. It was plenty for us and our uses. Thanks for watching.

I have never talked with Ron, But I'm working with one of his dealers

Glad the video was helpful! How big of an excavator are you getting?

I've heard good things about his dealers. I wish there was one closer to Colorado!

Yeah, it worked for 2-3 years. It was a good temporary fix.

Yeah, that would be annoying no matter if it's a diesel or not! Thanks for watching!

@@ColoradoCamperman Even the 2003 jeep grand Cherokee with the 4.0 Street six. Makes within 5 foot pounds of torque of the 1980s and 1990s military Humvees 6.5 L diesels! So a modern non-turbo gas engine can easily make more torque than an older non-turbo diesel! Even a street six gasoline engine easily makes the same torque as an older diesel! And only about 500 to 1,000 more rpm!

You're welcome, thanks for the comment and watching!

I'm pretty sure I did use electrical tape, I usually do that. I think that would be fine to have a dual alarm, we had looked at one of those too. Thanks for watching!

Are you sure they are the same thing? They come with a hydraulic thumb, better pump, and a warranty with customer support. Aren't those things worth a higher cost?

@@ColoradoCamperman a better pump is 200 dollars. The parts are just as easy to obtain as any other excavator. Nothing kymron does makes it worth 3k more

@@ColoradoCamperman 2ton with ac swing boom and widening tracks 12k oh and hydraulic thumb.

@@ColoradoCamperman offering a warranty doesn't mean they will honor it.

@@bhhvvbvgyvbuvv Have you had experience with this amazing excavator you speak of? Why do you care about this so much? Why do you waste your valuable time worrying about crap like this?!? Lol!

No, you cannot put the slides out and it has zippers on one side.

Awesome to hear! Thanks for the comment and watching!

Yeah, we definitely lucked out with the spring on our property. It's crazy that the previous owners never mentioned anything about it. Sounds like your new property is coming along! Are you building yourself?

@@ColoradoCamperman ...Yup always do every thing myself ...can't afford to pay someone else ....LOL !

I really appreciate your comment! I am glad that you thought the list was helpful. Thanks for watching and have fun out there!

I'm not 100% sure about that. I don't think the charge controller would allow that but I'm not certain. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, thanks for watching!

Thank you very much! It's great to hear from you. We have been doing well. How is your fam? You been camping lately? Weren't you about to retire last time we talked?

Wow, great memory! Yes, I retired at the end of 2022 and spent the whole winter between central Florida and went all the way to Southern California with my camper.. it was awesome. I got home in the spring and then did my normal summer camping with my wife. This winter, I went back to Florida for about six weeks and came home in time for Easter. God is good! I would love to get out to Colorado this summer, but my wife is starting a new business right now and it probably won’t happen this year.

@@cslay06 That's awesome! Happy belated retirement! Sounds like you guys have been busy since then. I would love to do a long trip like that. I hope your wife's new business goes well!

On public land? Probably not, maybe on your personal land. You'd have to check county regulations.

Lol! Yeah, I'd definitely go with an open frame generator. I love how quiet the 3500 is, but it had too many issues running in the heat. Sea level would probably make a difference. But if you're not concerned with noise, I'd go with the 4550 all day long.

I don't blame you for wanting to move. If I could convince my other half to move, I would do so. Colorado is definitely not the state I grew up in. It has only changed for the worse. Thanks for the comment and watching.

I agree, well said! Thanks for the comment and watching.

Potentially, it depends on the amperage of the jackhammer.

@@ColoradoCamperman a 15 amp jackhammer?

@@christianramirez1836 The normal outlets should work, if not, you could get an adapter to run it off the 30 amp outlet.

That's a shame you had a bad experience. I love our Timbrens and can't imagine what it would be like without them.

If you hook a volt meter up directly to the MC4 connectors you may be able to troubleshoot the issue. I'm no solar expert, if bluetti has a support line, I'd call them.

I bought my truck for a reason, reliability. I have a buddy who has the same truck as me with over 300,000 miles and no issues. While other trucks have a higher torque and HP rating, the Chevy 6.0 has been known to be a reliable engine. I was towing over 11,000 lb in a dump trailer a couple weeks ago, on flatland, my truck did awesome! Going up large hills and going to 9,700' in elevation it struggled. A diesel wouldn't have done that. So as long as you are not going up large hills constantly or high elevation, I think you would be fine. I hope that helps, thanks for watching!

Thank you so much. Do you know the years the 6.0 was on the Silverado and the GMC trucks. I even might consider a 3500 as well.

@@dpistone10 I'm not 100% sure, I think Chevy made them for 15 years or so. 2019 or 2020 was the last year they made the 6.0L.

@@ColoradoCampermanI found out the 6.0 L last year was 2019 so you are correct.

I speak a little Spanish, but not enough to explain solar lol! Thanks for watching!

Do you have the 4500 or 4550? The 4500 had issues, so Harbor freight recalled it. Some people were able to return it, others were not. Maybe you have the 4500?

I'm not 100% sure if you can use it on TPO, I think you can. Check Dicor's website. We sold that camper in the fall. The roof still looked great! Thanks for watching.
