Another Cross Country Journey in an Allegro RED RV
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
About two years ago, I re-built a totaled 2019 Tiffin Allegro RED Class A diesel pusher and drove it across the USA in a shake down cruise. Now, I get to skip the re-build and just drive a 2021 Allegro RED from my shop in Arizona to Sewell Motorcoach in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. I know it's a little long, but I hope you enjoy the more in depth look at the roof, exterior, and interior as I try to point out why this is a good unit and I wish I had more time to enjoy it.
A big thank you to Cal for his assistance moving the units and an even bigger THANK YOU for a the outrageous milestone of hitting 50,000 subscribers on the channel :) !!!!!!
Thanks for watching!

Don't ever apologize for your videos being too long. I'd watch a 5 hour special. Would it be on 2x speed? Yes. But you bet I'd watch every minute of it! 😂 Also, congrats on 50K!!

Love your videos. I also know you've always been a Tiffin fanboy. Would love to know your real opinion on Tiffins since Thor bought them out.. I have never seen you comment on a Tiffin roof like that.. I feel that Thor junks every brand down once they buy it!!

I hope he (James) doesn’t take this the wrong way but I don’t know what it is about his grin. He reminds me of somebody and he has that grin that looks like the cat that just ate the canary!! every time he smiles or grins it makes me laugh and I can’t stop watching. He could be selling sewer pipes and I would still be watching!

I think it would have been much safer to get off the roof before one moves. Let alone across states. You’re the man.. another great walk through and showing what to look at and concerns
You must have the balance of a circus acrobat! Every time you check over the caps , or on the sides checking the molding , I just cringe! I feel like I’m gonna fall and I’m sitting in my recliner ! Great info ! Learning a lot ! Don’t fall !

Great video. I am from New Zealand and work in the engineering industry so always very interested in what people have done especially in the RV industry. Its sad to see RV manufacturers install lots of stuff on the roof and drill many holes through the roof which all may leak water inside in time. My idea is when the RV is built a roof rack be built which can be mounted onto the body structural frame with as few holes into the roof as possible. All the roof equipment can mounted onto that frame, and all cables can be attached to the frame. and have only one duct through the roof where for all cable to enter inside. Ventilation fans should have a side wall vents, and have no roof vents. I would not glue a solar panel onto the roof, what is happening underneath the panel. The modern RV roof is a time bomb, you would want to inspect it often. I think the RV industry should move on and upgrade RV roof construction. Cheers

I built my own little camper out of a LWB Vito van and used this idea, I just unbolted and unplugged my solar panels and antennas when I wanted to use my van roof rack for work. I also had a vent fan through the floor run by a small solar panel to keep it cool inside.
Hey. I think it is so fun that you got to do that. You so obviously love it. We are learning from your inspections and seeing what people have done with their busses. Since apparently we're not getting any younger...we got big plans and it's kind of now or never situation. So thanks for educating us for our perhaps possible future ahead 👍 ...oh and I do see the outtakes hah haa I totally feel you 🤣👋

Hi James, congratulations on your 50k subscriber level! That’s awesome and doesn’t surprise me whatsoever…..you’re good! This was a great video, very interesting and informative. I learn something with every one of your videos. I also notice that you and I are exactly the same when it comes to “eating and living on the road”. I can survive off of almost nothing, maybe a few chicken wings, piece of pizza, a soda or bottle of water, handful of chips and I’m good to go. A pair of shorts, underwear, t shirt, towel, toothbrush and I’m good for a while. Extremely minimalist and low maintenance. My wife thinks it’s terrible but when she comes along, it’s an ordeal and half the house and grocery store has to come along. As usual, I’m always very nervous when watching you on the roof……don’t like it but be careful. I’m really looking forward to watching your next video on your Beaver. I enjoy watching the progress. Take care!

For internet did you mean Skylink? There are quite a few RV channels who have reviewed it and said wonderful things about it. You would still possibly want a prepaid AT&T or likes hotspot for when staying in the trees. They get about the same speeds, but only work where there is cell coverage, so it is recommended you have both or make sure you are never in a spot with complete tree coverage.

Not sure if you know this. When doing lithium batteries remove the Daisy chain cables and run each battery to a positive and negative busbar. Using busbars will divide load between batteries which will extend the life of batteries as the whole load doesn't go through each battery. for example 100 amps being pulled through 4 100ah batteries is 1C. now with that same 100 amp load going through busbar to 4 batteries pulls .25C from each battery as long as each battery cable from each battery is exact same length. I have 4 banks (same as calling it a battery) with 2 5k inverters. if I pull full load 10k each of my banks will hit .18C-.2C. I have 280AH banks at 48 volts. Almost all now are doing busbars instead of Daisy chaining. Hope this helps. Then adding more batteries is easy as you just connect to busbar. I also have fused cut off from each bank (battery).
Congratulations on the 50000 subscribers I started watching when you had 12000 does that make me an old timer
