We met at Oregon State University. Jim currently works in the high technology industry while Melinda works in Education.
We have 2 boys and enjoy camping as a family and being in the outdoors.
Jim grew up in Oregon and Melinda, having moved from Virginia, has come to love the Pacific Northwest's vast outdoor/camping opportunities.
We have a yellow lab named Ruby...she keeps us busy. :) She enjoys long naps in the RV and just about anywhere around camp.

New 60" LED Lights on Back of RV
Just a quick update on a mod we did to our Alliance 340RL. When we started carrying our mountain bikes, the factory brake lights were mostly hidden by the bikes.
To fix this we added vertical LED's to the side of the RV. These additional LED lights are 60" long and do a great job of increasing our break, turn, tail lights and even reverse lights!!

Yes I did!! I run into this problem too...I have a back up camera but when it's dark I have to lightly tap the break to turn the brake lights on to see...I was thinking about something like this over the weekend to turn some lights on remotely when I need them to see and some security as well...
now how do you tie in generator/shore and inverter ?
second transfer switch or have inverter (like Victron) that has built in transfer switch
Looks great! Glad you made it work :)
Nice!
Can you use the 12 volt and USB at the same time or is it one or the other.
@@chadcronin5302 yea.. You just don't want to use any outgoing power when charging the system
Dumb question, where does the white or black wire from your lights hook to? Does it just go to ground? It’s clear that on the remote controller the white and red wires interrupt the power 12 V wire going to the lights, but I’m just not sure where the other wire from the lights goes to.
The lights have 2 wire that connect to the output of the controller....red from light to white from controller and black to black on each
@@tannerjim thank you, and I assume you are not using a relay, correct?
@@brandanlaura4110 Correct...just the controller (with 2x remotes) I show in the video.
Do you have a link for the adapter to attach the screen to the rearview mirror?
Here ya go....amzn.to/45wc2aM
Was the display lighted, but no visible text?
Some text showed but all scrambled up
Haha yep sorry brother your test is null and viod 😅😅 i use 1 carbon and UV, had it tested 100% good and 1/5th the weight 😂
Great... Show me the video and the proof.
I have an 880 and it's quiet but my 535 always has the fan running inside of it. Is the fan running all the time on when something is plugged into the 535 normal?
I have the same unit but the antenna was broke off when I bought my 2018 Tiffin. Where can I get a replacement antenna? Thank you
I would start by contacting WifiRanger. I don't work for them, so I have no additional information.
1 year later, do you have an update on how the new mattress is holding up?
Great timing!! We are actually on a 4 week trip right now and I think the mattress is even more comfortable than day one. Both my wife and I are sleeping great on this trip.
Well done.
Where is the charger port???
in the back
Thank You. I'm not that handy but this was very clear and it took me a couple hours and it was exactly wht I needed.
I also added wheel balancers on truck and rv
I put extensions on rear inner and outer braket mounted under lug nut now both tires can check air pressure very easy using flow thru on all tires 6 on truck 6 on rv tst color display is awesome I also got mine from techno rv Took almost 9 months for my f450 KR but I love it
I thougth about doing that, but I wanted to have temperature readings as well. I feel that if you move the valve stem to the inside of the outter tire, you lose the ability to have proper temp readings.
There is nothing to do in McCall Idaho. One gas station. (Chevron) One motel . One Albertsons (monopoly) and a few trailer parks. They must travel to Boise for entertainment .
that is the exact point. You can hike, bike, camp, eat at some local resturants, have great ice cream cone in downtown on hot day, layout on the shore of the lake, waterski (snow ski in Winter). But if those things don't appeal to you, then McCall is not for you.
Any chance you can send me a photo of the back of the charger? I’m trying to order a replacement and I’m not sure of the model number
I can I 3 weeks. I am out of the country right now
My Avenue plug smoked this week and I am thinking of going with one of these. but I have one question. If either end of that fails while you are camping what do you do? It's not like you are going to find anything close local to get you going again. Great video btw, thanks. Going to be at the rally again this year?
My backup plan if the cord ever did fail, would be to order a replacment ASAP and then use my portlable lithium battery charger to keep my battery bank topped off (if my 2000w watts of solar could not keep my 810 amp hour of batteries charged) and use my Victron 3000w inverter. Yep...we will be attending the National Rally again this year as well as the Pre Rally in Elkhart.
@@tannerjim I think I am going to take the old one and mount it in the passthrough. If I want to use my small gen at the storage lot it would $130 to buy a single plug or 300 bucks for the smartplug pigtail, that's just crazy. I already have the 15a amp adapter for the old plug :) See you at the rally again this year.
Great video, we just received our Nomad system and the only drawback I’ve found was lack of instructional documentation.
We hopefully get our 340RL next month. Love the videos.
Great content, sir. Thank you!
Still relevant information today. Great job!
how often .. and .. how do you change the batteries in the internal sensors ?
Don't know the official answer but I have has these installed for 2 years and they are still working great.
Wow. I just bought a Rockwood and it has the 700 system installed. So .. good to know. THANKS for the video !
If this company that makes these stainless steel skis really wants to nail it, they should cut them to size and put the screw holes in them. As most slides are pretty standard size. I should be able to tell them that I have a alliance paradigm. 340 RL and I need skis for the kitchen slide or the dining area slide or the bedroom slide and they should know the measurements and pre-fabricate everything and send me exactly what I need. Just saying it would make it a lot easier on the consumer as far as cutting tools and special drill bits. And it would not be much extra work for them at all. Maybe in the future. This could be a very lucrative business for them.
Company is a scam they don't send product there contact service doesn't work there phone numbers don't work I ordered over 2 weeks ago and can't even get a refund buyer beware it's a scam
Thanks you for sharing.
Anyone know why mine doesn’t want to charge and I’ve never used it before ?
Great Video!
Good upgrade and I constantly preach to hand tightened because some of this stuff you just don't know it if you can't feel it. Where did you film that it looks amazingly like the kibab national forest in northern Arizona with those ponderosa pine trees. That's my home turf.
LOL...I filmed this in my driveway. Check out my last video and you can see more of my property :)
@@tannerjim You have an amazing property and it's pretty awesome how similar the 2 types of forest look
Just a quick note regarding bluetooth operation. If a device is ALREADY paired with the receiver, then it won't accept another device -or- that is what I found out. Only ONE bluetooth device can be paired. So the first device that pairs with the bluetooth receiver blocks any other transmitter (phone/tablet). Still can use the remote, keypad, or actual key. It's a great product though and we love it. The other thing we love about this lock is the lock....very resistant to picking and I don't believe they make a master key for these, so keep your key safe. Oh....by the way love your channel.
The new cord needs to come out & down 90° like the old one.
Jim, finally a video that makes sense. What guage wire do you recommend for the jumper. Also, I have a progressive Dynamics Ems hard wired. Should this go before or after the bms? Hope your enjoying your new rig. Kip McMillan
6 gauge is what I used and what GoPower recommended. The EMS would go before the transfer switch.
Go Ducks!!!!😂
Thx…seems a few of my jacks don’t retract fully into their sleeves. Maybe an 1” of the shaft is still exposed. Others go all the way in. Is there an adjustment to fix that. I could use the extra clearance. Thx
Hi I just got mine and i'm wondering how to calculate how long the battery would last using my 80W/120V battery warmer/heater. 🫠
I can't believe all the negative comments from so many viewers! I greatly appreciate rhe expense and effort you went to, to setup and conduct this demo. Pretty definitive results if you ask me. Thanks for the demo.
Great video boss.. just bought a F450 and this looks like a life saver. Question - how do sensors draw power? Internal battery etc? And how long it lasts?
I did this video almost 2 years ago. I just got a new TST 707 display and one of the new features allows users to see battery voltage on each sensor. So, after almost 2 years, mine are all still showing 3v. I was shocked to see this and VERY VERY happy. I am guessing I might have another 2 years of power from the sensors battery..???
@@tannerjim thank you sir for the detailed response. Will look into this solution. I was also considering the flow through or external sensor solution from Tiremind.
For a proper test you would have to flush the lines between tests And why would anyone be afraid to drink water with food coloring in it
Yea, it might have been better to flush the lines, however all 3 filters were using the same process. And it was not food coloring, it was ink (and rust).
I have had my charger for a year and did not know when the power went out I could use it to make my coffee. What a plus. I even shared it with my fiance. Now that I know all of the features, I will never go without it. Thanks Schumacher 😊
yeah, it's a PRESSURE pump. the pump should have been BEFORE the filters. I know that you want to filter the water going into the pump, but you need a different filter for that. these types of filters need PRESSURE to filter, doing it your way is incorrect.
My test is the same way it works when you use your RV water tank. There is no pressure behind that. the water is drawn up out of the tank via the pump. The same way I did this test. Imagine the glass jar is the RV water tank.
@@tannerjim yeah obviously I can imagine the tank is before the pump. What I am saying is that the filters should be AFTER the pump, not before.
@sNEAKYnIGHTMUPPET - Regardless of the location of the pump vs the water source, all three filtration systems were set up in identical fashion. The Camco system failed miserably in the "flow rate" test compared with the other two. The clear winner in all 3 tests Jim performed was the clearsource system. I've always had my suspicions about using Camco filters, as the reality is, my tap water at some resorts truly tasted awful, even after filtering. Now I know why. In my mind taste is king. If my filtered water tastes terrible, what else is my filter letting through?
@@leighsheppard8614 Agreed. I was pointing out that the pump and those filters were being tested incorrectly so that you could improve your testing. doing it incorrectly means people like me doubt the outcome due to inccert process. If your testing is without question, then the results are held in higher regard. That is to say that If I can't question your tests, then I equally can't question your results. I seriously hope you get my point. One final point. testing of things like leaking etc will not arise under negative pressure like in your setup. Leaking is a serious problem in cheap filters and your testing if done properly would have highlighted that potential problem also. Thanks for the reply.
Looks like another fix necessitated by poor quality in manufacturing. It's sad that this problem just like the tank sensor problems has been around for years, and the manufactures just keep shipping it out to the customers. There are easy solutions to both. So much for the "customer driven" party line nonsense.
Why didn’t you just pit the new marker lights in place of the original markers to minimize wiring modifications?
I looked at that, but decided that might be just a bit too low. Now I get to keep my original markers as well.
Hi can did charge the car battery? Thanks
it can charge a battery, but the main purpose it to jump start.
Great video and well explained. I am thinking of putting this on a utility trailer; however, can I connect the controller to a jackery?
Very helpful video! Thanks Tanners! #Ally
Do I have to buy a new power cable as well or can I modify my existing cable by adding the new plug style?
You can reuse your cable. I forget to talk about that
@@tannerjim cool, thanks!
Why not repair the original jack? seals and o-rings
I thought about this, but in the end replacing it seemed like a better option, as I didn't want to be 100's of miles from home (and all my tools) and have it go out on me again.
