New NoBo 19.6 Owner! Any tips for a newbie?

[ZenWolf]

Here are a couple of upgrades that I did to make boondocking more enjoyable:

Added a second battery compartment:

Box: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Wires: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Upgraded to Lifeline AGM batteries: https://lifelinebatteries.com/produc...eries/gpl-24t/

I also replace the one 20lb propane tank with two 30 lb tanks.

Cylinder Rack: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Two stage regulator:

I did not get the solar package, but I've got a go power in the box and will be installing soon: https://gpelectric.com/products/over...-charging-kit/


Happy Camping!

Love mine..i have installed a second set of j hook kayak racks and installed a backup camera. Get a quality dump hose with a clear nozzle. I got a one in the startup kit that was junk. Walmart sells with 2 sections. Make sure you have right sockets to take spare and regular tires off. Watch videos online on how to easily change a tire with a double axel. BUY a good trailer aid ramp so you CAN change the tire. The HDMI ports on the tv don't work when you are trying to watch something like netflix off a laptop. Still waiting to hear what the answer is from FR. My guess is basically its a junk tv and I will buy a better one. We love ours and hope you do too. We have had very few issues.

Just back from our first outing. Loved it! Minor issues: will probably remove netting under front sofa & use containers that will fit - too hard to get stuff out with net, and we’re hoping the bottom frame piece will prevent things escaping - we’ll see. Also aluminum? sheet on freezer door fell off and got damaged, so back to dealer tomorrow. We had a full hookup at a state park, so this first time no filling fresh tank or using dump station. Hot water was REALLY HOT. Cordless drill with socket for stabilizers makes it easy - just watch your hands in case you go wrong direction. Both in our 70’s and haven’t camped in 35 years.

Ideally the front end would be lower, so the puddle isn't right by your entrance door.

Larry - when I lower one corner by adjusting the knob on one brace, do I need to loosen the knob again before retracting?

CarlPete, this was general advice for all awnings. I am not sure what kind of gear you have.

Another NoBo owner will probably give a reliable response.
