Thanks for checking out TravelPawsRV!!!! My name is David and along with my 4 legged fur kids Rupert and Mae we started RV's part time but in November 2023 I sold everything (including the house) and have now set out on the Full Time RV adventure, come along and see what mistakes we make (I'm sure there will be many!) and what fun adventures we encounter along the way!
New videos every other Thursday 3pm Eastern Time! (I have a day job too haha)!
Oh and by the way I am in NO way shape or form and Expert in anything, follow these tips at your own risk...I'm just sharing how I have done things.

Propane or gas it runs around nine hours as rated
Once again. Good tips. Thanks
I love mine. Thanks for the tips.
Interesting how some wont buy this because it's made in China... like most other stuff we buy isn't. Trust me, I would rather not buy from China but I'm not made of money. IMO, I dont like to waste money. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I currently have a reconditioned 2000W firman I got on ebay for $235. Honestly, has been super reliable. I plan to buy this one, refurbished for $399 on ebay for my off grid cabin. There is no way I can either justify or afford to spend, what, 5 times for a better brand, even double. Until I get one of these that craps out on me, I'm willing to take a chance. BTW, I do have the Predator 3500 which has also been a good unit, however, I paid $800 for it a few years ago.
Even everyone’s beloved Honda 2200 is made in Thailand or China depending on the model. I’m pretty sure every single inverter on the market comes from the continent of Asia. As long as they have good quality control, that’s what we have to choose from. Oh well
Thats not the starter battery , Thats the vaper canister ---, To service the air filter or battery remove both access panels side and rear covers . to remove the battery Firman forgot to leave any room to get to the battery . Disconnect the ground cable near the drain plug . Leave both access covers off .The battery is in the rear below the air box . . remove front air filter cover . Remove the hold down bolt and tilt the battery up to remove . Poor battery access . My Firman generator ran fine. Its just hard to service.
I am just going to assume that the squeaky noises during fast-forward is non-stop swearing. 😂
actually it was "ouch" and a few swears thrown in because I kept getting burned, it was still hot! LOL
I think its realy good i have a couple of them same as you ans they work juste fine and economic i put sintec oil in it for cold weather
Awesome!!
I like what you've done with the bunk area 👍
Thank you!!
Check out Tifton Overnight RV in Tifton, GA.
Due to life being... life, ill be living in my camper for a while. I live in michigans upper peninsula so we get pretty nasty winters. I'll be using a wood stove but also one of these heaters I think. Been doing a lot of research and they seem like a good option. Your vid gave me some good ideas, thanks!
I was in -6 this winter and it saved me for sure. Good luck to you!!
Verrrrry slllooooowwwwly
I'd like to know how much gas it would use in the exact same situation. It's hard to compare since we don't have a clue how much power you were using. Using an electric heater pulling off a generator is extremely inefficient. You might be getting 20 percent efficient when you could be getting 80 percent from your camper's own propane heater.
Very true! I'll add that for future videos! Thank you!!
i’ve driven OTR. i know that truckers can get a bit crazy
I LOVE THE NEW RIG!!! RUPPI AD MAE BAE NEEDED MORE SPACES! LOL GOOD FOR YOU!
Thank you!!
you need glove liners
Excellent idea! Thanks!!!
Hard pass. Just a rebranded Chinese made generator. Save yourself some money and heartache and go for one of the other dozen cheaper Chinese brands. Firman, Harbor Freight, Champion, and Generac will provide you with good value and performance.
Hi! Thanks for the comment...this is a Firman so is that not good?
Blah ha ha ha ha ha, this is a Firman. You've been called out and still left this comment up. 😂😂
Thanks man. Debating buying one. Same situation. Didn’t know the brand. Want a predator but see these at Lowe’s for 300 off
Very welcome! So far so good with this one. All in all I'm very happy I went with it, just not having to carry gas has been worth it so far. Just used it this past week for another power outage and worked like a champ! Thanks for watching!!
This same generator is much cheaper at Costco.
Do you have spare generator and diesel heater, or do you just count on one each?
Hi! I do have a generator, the diesel heater and the on board rv propane heater in the rv. I've had waaay to many times when the power has been knocked out at the campground and that generator has come in handy!
@@travelpawsrv I'm sorry, I meant do you have a second generator in case the generator you usually use goes bad and also a second (backup) diesel heater?
Ahhh gotcha...no I only have one generator and one diesel heater.
are you connected to city water and running your water pump? maybe i'm missing something.
Not connected to city water, just some leaky pipes it seems. Thanks for watching.
I just bought the same one from Costco. Great deal. It will power my camper.
Awesome!!
Thank you. Great video.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!!
Long time tent campers moving up to RVs. With full-time retirement less than 9 months away, info like this appreciated. Sometimes finding campgrounds to get into after hours can be tedious.
Congrats on moving up and retirement!! You are gonna love it on the road!! I love the loves rv spots! 100% game changer for quick overnights!!
will be there April 2024 with our bikes!
Awesome! You're gonna need them, huge place!
Great video. Where do you get the propane gauge that’s shows how much propane you have left please?
Thank you! I got that from Amazon, it's Mopeka Pro I believe is the name. Thanks for watching!
Right now, Costco is selling them for $649.99 . 03/17/2024
Awesome! Thanks for the info!
$599 until March 31st 🎉 just got one
$599 at Costco until 4/15
Bought mine on eBay last year refurbished through Firman with 2 yr warranty for $350! Best deal out there imo!
Thanks for the tips! we will eventually need to replace our flex lines and your video will help us with the know-how! I'd like to make a suggestion that for the time being you could lay your pump in a plastic container to contain or minimize any further leaks coming from your pump.
OMG! That is an awesome idea!! Thank you! I hope you never have to deal with water leaks!! Safe travels and thank you for watching!
Or better yet, just replace the entire RV!😏
Hmmmmm
You have to watch for all the flex hoses that have pex. Grand Design plumbs these incorrectly and they know it. Our transcend has leaked everywhere. Sounds like you have an idea.
Thanks! Yeah, I've had to replace one of the flexible lines already..I get why they use them (easy) but really wish they wouldn't. Thanks for watching and safe travels!!
Great video. Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!!
A little over 9 hours on a 20LB tank is awesome! Get a 40LB tank and you can go through entire night !! Or longer I’m getting one I got a big firman tri fuel this is my next stop
Awesome idea! I do have access to a 30LB tank...hmmmmm may have to give it a shot! Thanks for watching and safe travels!
@@travelpawsrvNp 😊
How do you consider it awesome? I'm missing the part on how much power he was using. But $25 in 9 hours is way too expensive for me.
@@Bryan-Hensleydepends on where he is might be the best option
Cool!
Where's the dogs?!! I want to see them in every video!!! Lol that's a great way to empty the sh*tter!!
It was their day off..it's in their contract lol
You are correct…. Your sister would may not appreciate dumping into our toilet! LOL!! Great vid!
These are such a great idea while you are traveling around and need an easy stop for the night. Seems to be more convenient than having to find a random parking lot for a quick stop.
It truly is! I have stayed at this one several times now and it is super convenient! Thanks for watching and safe travels!!
Boop that like button!!! And show me the puppies! They are my favorite!
They did make a cameo in this one. 😀
Sorry, I heard towards the end that you’re in Georgia
Yes it is in Cordel GA but they have them all over the US I believe.
Where is this loves located?
Excellent information!!!
Thank you!!! Thanks for watching!!
Love it!
Thanks!!
Fun video! Thanks!!! 😀
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!
Wow! Looks like fun place!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for this video! My mother-in-law & sisters-in-law visited there in the fall. We hope to go there for our first time in October for my mother-in-law's 90 birthday! 🥳 The mountain coaster looks great!
It is soooo much fun! Helen is a totally cool town!!
Hey David & Kevin! 🙋♀️ We met you 3 weeks ago when we stayed at that KOA, in a cabin. My husband & I chatted with you for a while. Great video. We'll be back there the weekend of 2/9. Hope you guys are doing well. ☺️
OMG!! How are you?? Awesome! I'm still here until the 13th then on to my next stop! Thanks for watching!! Safe travels!!!!
Is there battery protector film in the key fob by chance or plain old bad battery?
I do not believe so, the remote has a light that comes on when you press a button. It appears to be powered.
Preciousness overload 💚🐾🐾 definitely adding this park to my "to visit" list. Thanks for sharing! :)
Very welcome!! I will for sure be back to that park again. Thanks for watching!
Congratulations on going full time! I am glad to see that a fellow Transcend owner is taking the leap into the FT lifestyle! Enjoy the journey! oh, when you pass through Tennessee honk and say hello! we're in the Nashville area!
Thanks so much!! Will for sure honk when passing through!!
So brave to go all in. My wife and I think the world of you all. We have been watching your videos and have decided to by a Transcend 240ml and do some traveling. We have opposite problem you have, we are tired of 40 below winters in Minnesota. You so brave to go through such a life change. Wishing you all the best of luck. I was about in tears when you walked in the door at the end. Take care and see you on the road!!! PS: don’t worry Rupert and Mae, I’ll have treats!
Thank you so much!!! 40 below may be a bit chilly for me hahaha!! Welcome to the Transcend family!!! Rupert and Mae will be waiting for treats hahaha! Safe travels!!!
AHHHHH, We did it! We pulled the trigger on that 2022 240ML. Thanks again for the subtle encouragement.
@jamesburroughs4709 congratulations!!!! Welcome to the family!!!
OK, duplicated your water filter and it works purrfectly!!! Thank You!
That is awesome!!! Glad to hear it! I am still loving mine also!!
Love the video, where did you get the USA map on the fridge?
Thank you! I believe I saw it at camping world while walking around looking at what I didn't need but had to have and saw it! Haha
Great video on this state park. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Thank you!! You take care as well!
Hello I'm assuming because you got it new, it's under warranty. Shouldn't the things you didn't damage be fixed by the manufacturer?
Probably they would fix it minus the mishap that I caused lol but I just don't want to have it in the shop for weeks/months so I fixed the little things myself. 😀
