    Good video. Seems you forgot to mention some very important items everyone should have when hauling a travel trailer. A surge protector for those strange voltage spikes which could ruin your electrical system, an extra fire extinguisher, a small folding shovel for those rivers of rain that seems to run under your canopy, a small/ medium good piece of canvas to cover that woodpile or anything you need to keep dry. Just a few from a season camper here in New England.

    Put one cup of laundry soap, and one cup of simple green in your black tank. Keeps it very clean and no stink. And the simple green helps break down toilet paper more because it is a natural enzyme product not harmful, and keeps sensors a lot better Lee cleaned off.

The city connection typically goes directly into your smaller PEX lines which are likely either 3/8" or 1/2".

    Great video! You have a really great list here. It's funny that I have that same Rigid bag for my rv tools and always carry a lot of tools with me just in case... Over the years, we've fixed or replace water pumps, hitches, stabilizer jacks, roof antenna, replace batteries, and many other some things. I tell people you are dragging your home through a tornado, hurricane and earthquake all at the same time, expect stuff to break. I must add that you need a good way to communicate to your partner when backing up. Either cell phones (if you have a signal) or 2 way radios. Our first adventure with our new rig, we almost backed over a young girl who was playing tag with her friends. She tripped and fell behind out trailer as I was backing into a campsite. It was almost dark out and thankfully we were using 2 way radios and my wife was able to tell me to STOP. That girl's life was saved by using 2way radios.

    Much debate about the necessity of using only “RV” toilet paper. It is more expensive than standard 2- ply paper and has not been demonstrated to actually breakdown any better than standard 2-ply. I did my own side by side soak test with each and found that standard 2- ply was marginally better. We have used standard 2-ply for 25 years and 3 RVs. We use our RV continuously 4-5 months each year and never had a problem. 4 reasons for our success; standard 2-ply is equal to or better than RV toilet paper, we are careful about how much toilet paper we use, we dump our Black tank every 2 weeks and always dump with 10 gal of flush water and add 5-10 gals to the black tank (and some kind) of tank treatment) after dumping.

      Agreed on ANY "Septic Safe" TP. Get what you like and be cognizant on just how much you use. We only use "Unique RV Digester" in our black tank. It introduces all the good bugs to break solid waste down rapidly and that includes septic safe TP. Always have plenty of water in the blank tank, like a 5 gallon start with digester added. That way you're only dumping liquid waste with broken down solids.

    I see that you have one, but you failed to mention the clear 45° fitting for the camper end of your sewer hose. Clear because you need to see whether the liquid is clear (clean) and when the flow is completely finished. Wouldn't hurt to also have a 30A female to 50A male adapter in case there's a problem with the pedestal. I've encountered this twice at campgrounds.

    You should definitely up grade your extension. Cord and plug. That orange cord i is too light . N RV owners don’t go cheap on electric cords and get a good surge protector.

    Without a pressure regulator, all you are doing is controlling the flow. As soon as the water stops flowing from a faucet the pressure equalizes to whatever the supply is.

    • @ColoradoCamperman
      @ColoradoCamperman  4 года назад

      That's definitely a good option. That's how I was with my old truck campers. I didn't want a gray water tank so I could use the sink with a portable water jug in the winter time and not have to worry about things freezing up. It worked great! Thanks for watching!

    Do I need the surge protector if I want to plug in at home?

    • @ColoradoCamperman
      @ColoradoCamperman  3 года назад

      Probably not. As stated in their description, "A surge protector identifies faulty power and conveniently analyzes circuits to verify pedestal power. Tests for and indicates open ground, open neutral, and correct polarity." So, as long as the outlet you plug into is not improperly wired, you should be fine. Thanks for watching!

    What do you connect your battery charger to? I ask because if you have power for it, shouldn't shore power charge up the battery for you?

    • @ColoradoCamperman
      @ColoradoCamperman  Год назад

      Good question. Most campers will charge your battery while plugged into shore power, however, the charger is a trickle charge. It is not a high amperage charger like the one in the video. So, it may take up to 24 hours to charge your battery. Thanks for watching!
