Hello from Texas

[10thtp]

After months of waiting our new Beyond is sitting at NIRVC in Atlanta GA waiting for PDI and delivery to our home In Texas. This will be my wife Pat and I’s 10th motor home, our 1st “B”. Age and physical health has made the big class A’s and a tow car more than I can handle on a daily basis. After 47 years of RV travel there is still a lot more of this great USA to see. I have stumbled through other forums seeking experienced input from class B owners with the li3 lithium or comparable full lithium systems. So far I have received much appreciated input from non “full”lithium owners giving calculated statistical data. I would like to get some feedback from owners actually using B coaches with full lithium/no generator. How is it working for you, the good and bad. Have you discovered any do’s and don’t’s. All input is appreciated. Hope to see ya out there somewhere and have a cup of coffee or whatever.

Welcome to the forum its a great place to get your questions answered. Who makes the Beyond? This is a very knowledgeable community specially when it comes to Lithium batteries and usage I'm sure someone will chime in with sound tested advice.

Welcome! Where in Texas are you? I’m in the megatropolis of Houston

Regarding your question, I’ve read that if you try to run too many things at once it could damage your inverter. IE. microwave, coffee maker, or hair dryer at the same time.

There’s a Coachman forum here that you could ask.

Thank you for your reply. We’re in the minitroplis of Tool, (Cedar Creek lake). I’m a little old and slow with this computer and forum stuff. Where do I find the coachmen forum? I don’t do face book.

It's not a separate forum. It's a sub-forum of FRF. It can be found here ==> https://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/f230/.


Congratulation on spelling Coachmen correctly!

Welcome from down the road a bit...also from the Houston area (just north a bit). I can't really give you any info for your questions, as I have a 5th wheel, with an old fashioned battery. But I did want to welcome you to the forum, and to say, hope to see you down the road!

My wife and I are also planning to hit the road. I work remotely in an employee tracking system and plan to use a computer all the time, and maybe my wife will use other devices. Do you think it is possible to do it and not damage our inverter? Thank you.

If you will give the amps of your batteries and watts of your inverter there are very knowledgeable folks on this forum that will gladly help you answer that.

This past summer, I got Texas on my map by staying at a KOA in Amarillo. What sticks out most in my mind about that place was the adult film studio just down the road.

I’ve driven by that place going to Colorado. What was your favorite movie?

I'm not sure which of the many fine films I've seen were created in their studios. I checked IMDB but they don't seem to have an entry.

I can't see how you'd damage it unless you're overloading your system. You'd probably blow a fuse.
How are you going to hook up to wifi? If you're planning on using campground wifi... don't. It's not secure and most are set up for email rather than movies or online work. You need a hotspot on your phone or a separate device and a plan heavy on GBs.
