These Are Products That We Use
WattCycle, Our Premier Partner
WattCycle Batteries specializes in high-performance lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) energy storage solutions for RVs, off-grid solar systems, home backup power, marine applications, and more. Founded in Shenzhen with a focus on making reliable clean energy more accessible and affordable, the brand uses Grade A cells, advanced battery management systems (BMS), Bluetooth monitoring, low-temperature protections, and designs that deliver long cycle life (often thousands of cycles) while remaining lighter and more efficient than traditional lead-acid alternatives. Products range from compact 12V units popular for RVs and campers (including high-capacity options like 314Ah and 628Ah models) to larger 48V systems for whole-home or expanded solar setups.
Gary Bizzo serves as the US Brand Representative for WattCycle, helping bridge the company’s offerings with the North American market—particularly the large community of RVers, boondockers, and off-grid enthusiasts. Drawing on his experience with mobile living and energy systems, he supports brand visibility, customer engagement, and practical adoption of the batteries in real-world RV and solar applications.
A key part of this role involves producing and managing the WattCycle tradeshow booth at the Quartzsite Sports, Vacation & RV Show in Quartzsite, Arizona—widely recognized as the world’s largest gathering of RVers. At this major annual winter event, which draws hundreds of thousands of attendees under and around a large exhibit tent, the booth showcases WattCycle’s LiFePO4 lineup tailored for RV use (such as high-capacity 12V mini and ultra batteries). It features product demonstrations, sizing guidance for common loads like air conditioning and appliances, Bluetooth app examples, installation discussions, and show-specific promotions or giveaways, giving visitors hands-on exposure to reliable off-grid power solutions.
Through these efforts, WattCycle positions its batteries as practical, cost-effective upgrades that support longer off-grid stays, reduced generator dependence, and greater energy independence for the RV lifestyle.
Troxus kindly sent me two bikes to review. I made extensive videos of both e-bikes but wanted to say a few words about them in a post.
My wife and I are both around 5’6”, although I tell people I am 6’. Astride that Troxus my real height is evident.
The Explorer is s beast in both power and stature. Its been a joy on so many different levels. It has been s bit too unwieldy for my wife although she loves it in the desert.
It has been a man’s desert toy but much more. I used it to get supplies in town when we are in Quartzsite, Arizona. I have hauled water using an attached cart, did rounds at the campground I manage and have replaced my pickup for transportation in many cases.
I have explored mountain passes, driven 25-40 miles effortlessly and even have the distinction of beating a Corvette at a stoplight albeit by only 10 feet or so but I beat him.
It’s a heavy, solid piece of machinery able to easily handle dirt bike and off road trails. On city streets it can keep up to traffic easily.

OGO
Not something one can readily do without. I researched RV toilets for almost a year before approaching one manufacturer in Ohio – OGO. It’s just the best! Their sustainable environment policy is the central focus on their composting toilet. They only make one product – a toilet – and they do it extremely well! Check out my reviews, their blog, etc. here. Visit the OGO website! And use the discount code ‘gbizzo50‘ for $50.00 USD off!
Mount-It
Able to use your iPad for navigation and finding a TV mount may seem simple, but when you are going over rough roads a ‘gooseneck’ holder or a less than robust devise holder makes no sense. We researched many manufacturers until we created a relationship with this international company. Visit Mount-It website!
