Totterhomes I would classify as the Winnebago. Big and fully equipped. Can you link to a schoolie? Google give me teens on holidays...

Schoolies (or skoolies for those with a penchant for kooky misspellings) as in converted school busses. Many examples can be seen here -> http://www.skoolie.net

To be honest I have a hard time considering something so customized and ruggedly built as a toterhome to be in the same class as a Winnebago. Whenever I think Winnebago (regardless of class), I think unsupported fiberglass, musty shag carpet, and cheap cabinetry with the permanence of cardboard.

Anyone have any opinions on split charge relays? I can get a kit for like £20 on eBay or pay over £200 for one. I get batteries for free due to my work for a local scrap yard so kinda want something basic and cheap. Working starts soon :/ managed to beg and borrow from some electrician friends the wire I need.

My biggest recommendation for any split charge is to install a manual disconnect for your engine battery.

We are sneaking up on one calendar month of RV living.


Big points:

-Buy spare toilet parts. We're currently hitting the park bathrooms because our slide valve died on the underside of the shitter, and I'm having a replacement shipped in as fast as I can - which still takes five business days.


Theres a huge RV parts/service/sales megacenter up in Johnson's Corner. I'm sure in the future that if you went through them that in just a day or two you could have any emergency repair parts that would be too onerous to carry as a spare.

To keep it out of the archives and provide an update, the last Denver freeze split our water heater tank. I am stingy and left the propane off too long. I learned my got-drat lesson.


Since you're running propane, why not run tankless?
