Thanks, just became my wife’s, and my, Christmas present!

Great tips. In the BluTech water softener. I replace the first and second filter, then remove the tasty filter and pour my salt in the metal tasty filter holder. Connect the water softener and go through the rejuvenation process as normal, then at the end install the Tasty filter. Makes the process so much easier and was told this was recommended by BluTech.

We had the froli system in our Tab400. It's a very good, comfortable system. We bought a 25ft rear hatch, Flying Cloud, we bought it last spring, we love it. Our first trip in it was to California, Oregon and Washington State, then home to PA.

Thanks for another informative video. Great job. FWIW - we swapped out our hot water heater for a Truma and are so much happier.

I’m a fan of a sewer cap with a handle to make it easy to twist off. Something like Valterra F02-3106BK. I’ll also use the black flush hose to drain the grey tank with the hose connection where appropriate.

Thank you for the maintenance updates. Very helpful! Merry Christmas to you.

Hi Brad, what precautions for the filtration system in freezing weather? Can you run heated hoses on either side of the system? Shut it down and bring it inside? Never go where it is that cold😂?

Since you touched on the mattress cushioners, what are your thoughts on making a larger hard wood surface so the twin mattresses are fully on a solid surface. Ours hangs over the cabinet about 4” so when you sit on the side of the bed it sags.

Brad. What size snap pad do I need for the front jack? Same rig as yours
