Behind-The-Scenes and Making of New Zealand "8th Continent" Series - Mortons on the Move & RV Geeks
We had some questions from our viewers and had the opportunity to sit down in person with Peter and John of the @RVgeeks to reminisce about our shared experience RVing in New Zealand. We discuss what it was really like tracking the COVID-19 pandemic's progress while traveling internationally, as well as share some behind-the-scenes stories that weren't covered in the 8th Continent series.
Some of the things we cover:
❤️‍🩹 COVID-19 Onset
🎥 The Making Of: Videography & Photography of 8th Continent
🚐 Our Rental RVs
😎 Bungee Jumping & Rafting in New Zealand
🧑‍🍳 Favorite (and Strange) Foods of NZ
...and more!

    I have gel batteries for my wife’s wheel chair. I am well over 5 years in each pair. They will not blow up and will not burn down my house. These batteries have been in well over 100 degs f and have survived 0 deg temps. These are medical grade batteries and they survive much abuse.

    Definitely did a number on that rod. Hopefully he magnafluxed that crank. Sorry to see you go through the hassle of putting a new head on it just to find out later that you also bent a rod. Been there done that unfortunately. Learned my lesson about measuring for piston projection that day! Good luck with things

    Bad move. More problems with 12 volt refrigerators. Bad engineering, multiple breaks down, parts unavailability, mobile techs won’t work on them because of call backs. Might work down road but current experience shown 12 volt not there yet. Better use foam cooler and ice than 12 volt.

    This seems to be the issue with electric cars. They do not seem to charge when cold. I live in a place where -40f is a regular occurring issue. The 4 lithium I have has to be brought into my living space and left by the heater overnight before charging. The lead acid. Not agm. But regular lead acid. Can be charged by just the heat produced by the charger. 110v to 12v. It is June 19th. The current temperature is 34°f. The snow is melted. I am seeking a cold weather performance I currently can not have from lithium.

He is well articulated and well versed in his info/research of his RV. His passion shines. 👍 I can safely say an amateur auto mechanic, I love, but know absolutely zilch, about owning and maintains an RV.

      We are sorry about the mispronunciations - it is possible that we heard the right way, but since it was four years ago, we might have forgotten - it's hard to break those first mispronunciations 😬. We wish we could have spent more time talking to locals but with the pandemic looming we didn't have very many interactions after hitting the South Island. We're looking forward to coming back, chatting with more kiwis, and learning how to say all your lovely words correctly!

    As a technical person, it is wise & far better to use Flow batteries i.e. "Redflow Batteries" of Australia is most ideal. You can discharge the batteries to o.o volts & you will not harm the batteries & also it does not suffer from " thermal run away". Greetings from Madang, Papua New Guinea!
