I used the hand pump on the black tank flush connection. There is a back flow preventer valve made of plastic up under the sink. I want to make sure to push all the water out and protect it with antifreeze. Appreciate you watching & commenting.

This is the fix for the Irvine shades. Appreciate you watching.

A wise man once said, it’s best to be prepared and not go in Blind when fixing a Blind. Glad this helped, thanks for the kind comments my wise friend.

@@tmise50 it’s a nice layout, Murphy Bed opens up the floor space. Happy Shopping!

@@michaelkozic4146 yes, I created a short from a longer video. Click created from.. it will take you to the video. Appreciate you watching..

Our 53 gallon fresh water tank is at the very front of the trailer. You can fill it up and drive around at the campground & locally. But on a long trip with our bumpy roads, not a good idea. On this trip I had a shit ton of stuff in the forward storage compartment. I didn't want the added tongue weight. Our trailer tongue weight is already around 1,000 Ibs depending on load. CCC of trailer is 1,600 lbs.Payload in my truck is 3,394 Ibs. we have plenty of capacity in the truck not the RV. Another big advantage is if we run out of water during our travels I can easily drive the truck around and replenish. We usually have the chains crossed, correct I screwed up. Appreciate you watching & commenting!

Yes, we really enjoyed our stay. Looking forward to a return trip. Appreciate you watching & commenting!

@@714racer don’t be concerned about how quickly they move, The crew does a great job with assembly. In fact, we are hoping to trade up for the 2025 2618RD in the spring. Rockwood Flagstaff for the past couple years has been using a TPO roof membrane with a .045” thickness the material itself is warranted for life, you still need to have a look every 6 moths or so to check sealant. With our 2020 2205S I go up and wash the roof every second time I wash the outside. Also, I only use blue dawn liquid dish soap. Appreciate you watching and commenting!

Thanks for taking time to reply, do you know what year they switched to TPO? I have a 2023.

Thanks, glad you liked it! Appreciate you watching & commenting.

@@Suly271 Thanks! Appreciate you watching & commenting

Full capacity water 53 gallons adds tongue weight. For a long trip, Figured I would keep all of that load in the truck. Plus it eats up RV CCC (Cargo carrying capacity) hauling all that water..

Not really, the pump only has to suck water from directly below the hookup to about the height of my truck on the hose. Gravity is our friend 😜

@@Project1676A Slick set up, A…

Get some rest, we have more videos for you to watch. Appreciate you struggling thru to watch and comment. 😜

I haven't changed my process much, except for the water heater I use 2 gallons of vinegar and top it off with water. pure vinegar is too much. I appreciate you watching and commenting.

@@TNTRVing Thanks for such a quick response! Anxiously awaiting camping season!!

@ us too!

Max Payload of our gas GMC 2500 truck is 3,394 lbs. We have plenty of capacity. appreciate you watching and commenting.

@TNTRVing thats what I was figuring somewhere around there, but how much is the camper weighing fully load, with the extra weight of the water tank?

The GVWR of the trailer is 6,690 lbs. that includes the max cargo capacity of 1,665 lbs. So if I added 53 gallons of water @ 8.3 lbs per gallon in the RV fresh water tank that takes away 440 lbs. from my cargo capacity. We did not stop off at the CAT scales on this trip so I cannot give you an exact weight when we were fully loaded. Appreciate you watching & commenting.

The tongue weight of our trailer is around 1,000 lbs. adding another 500 plus lbs towards the front of the RV in my opinion is going to raise it significantly. I prefer to have that 500 plus lbs of water more centered in our tow vehicle. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

You can travel with water in the RV holding tank, but the tongue weight is already around 1,000 lbs. I don't feel comfortable adding all that weight to the front of our RV. and traveling. Appreciate you watching & commenting.

@@TNTRVing thank you for answering my question I appreciate that

You can get a ticket for not crossing the chains in my state

You are correct, we normally do cross them. Great catch, appreciate you watching & commenting.

Not in every state. Some trailers have chains too short to cross

@justink9912 even if it's not a law and it's still good practice. I have come across trailers with chains that are too short to cross but before I use that trailer I go out and get longer chains

@SPIKESTRIPMEDIA lol okay bud. Been using the same trailer for 10 yrs same chains. I haul boat lifts and never had a problem except with chains that are too long and an inexperienced kid is more dangerous

Our tongue weight is already around 1,000 lbs. I prefer to keep the additional weight in the truck on all days not just Wednesday's Thursday's Friday's. Appreciate you watching and commenting. :-)

Yes, We had a great time. We both agree that we would return. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

The top white hose is vented, I didn’t do a go job pointing it out. Appreciate you watching & commenting!

@@rmallea1 yes, turn the valve inside and utilize the internal pump. Easy Peezy lemon squeezy.

@@TNTRVing so you’re drinking water out of an Antifreeze pump???

@ The pump we are using is the internal RV Pump. Same pump used to pump water from the internal fresh water tank. The hook up I used is where you can draw RV antifreeze in from a jug when you winterize your RV. I simply turn a valve inside the RV to utilize the onboard pump. The whole system is sanitized prior to the start of camping season. Appreciate you watching & commenting.

@@TNTRVing that’s better

We have been at campgrounds where the water pressure has been in the 80 psi range. If you didn’t install a water pressure regulator at the pedestal, you would have issues in any RV plumbing system. We usually set our regulator to 40- 42 psi to be safe. Thanks for watching..

I’d also really like to see the tank you are using.

It sure is! Appreciate you watching & commenting.

Here is a link to the video I made about the tank and how I installed it. ruclips.net/video/FvxPs638OpA/видео.htmlsi=xYqyoG7sgFhFpI7x

@ awesome. I’m a new subscriber from the video you made highlighting plumbing on the Rockwood 2025 trailers. That has been a frustration for me dealing with improper connections leaking in our current trailer. Appreciate you linking me to that tank installation. I’ll check it out.

@@Buck0sevenwe really appreciate the support! Thanks a bunch!

If we are traveling short distances I will put 25 gallons in the freshwater tank to use for pit stops. If we are at a state park with no water hookup I will fill the tank. (love my strap mod still) On this trip, it was a long drive. We stopped off at a couple harvest host stops and didn’t disconnect the truck. I like the idea of less tongue weight. I like where the tank sits in the truck, the weight isn’t noticeable when driving. appreciate you watching and commenting.

We still use ours regularly and have had great luck with it. That is correct about the shock & vibrations on the back of other travel trailers. Fortunately, we have a Rockwood that comes standard with torsion suspension, nice and smooth. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Agree that keeping crankcase pressure normal is essential, and the vented catch can is a great way to do that, except for the obvious pollution. I ended up removing this after a while, as I didn't want to have any issues while under warranty. It certainly removed moisture and oil from the vent. Thanks for watching!

@ look into the active two stage all separator catch can 32-106BLK by motion race works The owner of Wide Open performance had this brand on all of his cars at a car show yesterday Said they were great

@ I will check them out. Thanks

Appreciate you watching and for the support!

Glad it was helpful, and thanks for watching! This was a fun trip for sure, we loved the campground and the whole area!!

Awesome channel great video keep them up make sure you like and subscribe thank you for your support

Always be sure to use a water pressure regulator. Also, we have installed moisture sensors under the plumbing, we highly recommend doing so. I also replace plumbing end seals on the fixtures as well I have a link in our Amazon store under plumbing. We have been fortunate our issues have been minor.

I am not really sure, but we appreciate you watching and commenting.

@@timhefley5011 glad it helped! Appreciate you watching & commenting!

Our Amazon store has a link for the round and 7 1/2" square tiles. Our round one cracked but still works. the store link is in the description of any of our videos. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

It’s always better to follow manufacturers recommendations on testing propane system. That said, I like the gas stop as you do not need to plumb it into the system as you would with the manometer. Gas Stop is always attached and you can test your system whenever you want. When the tank is half full the Gas Stop gauge is not that accurate, it’s more of a pressure gauge. I paid for the Gas Stop out of pocket and received the braided lines in exchange for the review, I would purchase one again. Appreciate you watching & commenting.

@@TNTRVing thanks for the quick response. I'm going to add this to our rig so that we can add it to our packing and set up protocols to check our LPG pressure each time we take a trip. I'd love to be able to know if we have a leak before we head out so we're not dry camping without propane, especially in the winter when our temps are below 32 sometimes and we need to keep the water lines warm with the propane heater blowing. I won't die from a cold shower but I would be sorely inconvenienced if I had a water line pop on me. Prevention, ya!

We have condensation on most windows when it’s cold, we usually towel them down after showering.

I’m not a big fan of outside kitchens, washer & dryer would be nice.

The dump valves have heat pads on the outlets & under the tank. The issue for freezing weather is the low point drains & outdoor shower. That’s why they are considered three season campers. Thanks for watching & commenting.

@@Desperado3248 yes, we missed a couple things, our bad. it was a crazy busy spot and we didn’t want to be in the way of all the sales going on. It sure would have been nice to of had more than a few minutes. Appreciate you watching & commenting.

Msrp is around $130k but reports are it is leaving lots forv$76-80k which is what it should sell for

Appreciate the tip! we are please with our Honda generator. It runs our 15,000 BTU ac unit well along with our other stuff. Appreciate you watching!

The unit is 25 foot 11 inches. Not sure about price as it varies depending on your location. Appreciate you watching and commenting.

Appreciate you watching & commenting!

We understand, a backsplash would be a great addition to the kitchen!

You probably can use it, the only concern is the wiring diagram they provide is for RV AC units. Look up Hutch Mountain Micro Air Easy Start. Give them a call and tell them what AC unit you have. Appreciate you watching & commenting. Best of luck!

It’s amazing how small the world can be! Maybe we’ll see you there in May.

@TNTRVing we were so tempted but reality set in for the timing. Then we went to dealerships and realized campers in Indiana are considerably lower cost than in our home state so a return trip def seems likely
