  • @crankinhankin1826
    @crankinhankin1826 2 года назад +24

    Here is my tip... Learn to do your own RV maintenance and use a good car maintenance management program ( I use Automotive Wolf car care software ) to track and monitor it all. It also tracks all my parts, expenses and creates a detailed vehicle maintenance log. After RV'ing for over 10 years I've saved thousands by doing most of the maintenance myself and there is a lot of it on an RV! A small roof leak can cost you thousands in repairs so I check my roof at least twice a year. Keep on top of the maintenance and you'll save money and be RV'ing for years :)

    Pool noodles! So many uses for these inexpensive items! On our 5th Wheel Reflection, I can't tell you how many times I've hit my head on the corner of our bedroom slide which is located right next to our pass-through storage area. I cut two small sections of a pool noodle and place them on the two bottom corners, securing them with clips normally used for securing picnic table covers. This hack has saved me numerous "headaches"...

  • @froglobster

    If your Tongue jack is like mine, by removing the fuse you removed anyway for power to get to your tongue track. This also prevents theft of your camper. If you watch the videos on how people are stealing campers so quick, they are putting the tongue jack on top of the ball and just driving away. By removing the fuse, they can’t activate your tongue jack and it’s just another hurdle in their way.

    I'm a new RV owner, flipping the propane tank cover is the first thing I did. It just made sense to flip it around just in case it wasn't latched completely the wind wouldn't flip it open on the road. It's just common sense.

  • @wallashakalla
    @wallashakalla 4 месяца назад

  • @williamolliges2622
    @williamolliges2622 2 года назад +5

    I always carry 20 gallons in the fresh tank because I’m towing my own rest stop. Also, spare expanding shower curtain rods store easily under the bed. They rest really well on top of the midline trim of the shower and can be used to dry wet towels between showers (without that trim, you may need to tighten the rods to the shower walls).

  • @trooper5157
    @trooper5157 2 года назад +1

    Often see trailers at the campground that have their running lights on in the evening, without being hooked to their truck...just figured those trailers had a switch to power on those lights when disconnected from the vehicle... but now I know how they're doing it. Learn something new every day.

    Nice video... I hate hauling water, but if you have a breakdown on the road... nice to have. I suppose it depends upon the rig doing the hauling: small suv with an auto tranny or a 1 ton manual Cummins...
    If you are pulling with the right rig, it isn't the weight of the water that is killing you, it is wind resistance.

    Rubber bands to keep cabinets closed. I use a anchor cleaves for the oh no break cabel. It's made of stainless steel and the nut is held in place with a hitch pin. Use only one lp gas tank if you have two. This way when the tank is empty you have the second full one. Just remember to fill the empty one.

    If you are watching this for the first time - yes, this is my 2nd post to this video but we just got back from our very first outing of 5 days and we used almost EVERY tool described in this video and it made our trip a howling success. I am a real person - not a bot and I literally ordered almost everything on the list and used it! (didn't have any emergencies - so we didn't need the emergency stuff! yay! But we have it!) Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge and please know that there are those of us out here who are watching, listening and learning and are so appreciative of your time and commitment to helping our adventures more successful. I think that my favorite essential was the 90 degree angle hose bibs. OH my goodness. My husband had forgotten that I got them and the pressure on the value without them was visible - so thankful when we put them in and there was NO visible pressure on the value - we are believers! :) Thank you again! And I hope that I purchases provided you additional support as a thank you for your service.

    On the safety brake just use a hasp. Place the cable on the smaller end of the hasp and that will correct the problem.

    Great video, Ross! I use wood blocks I had left over from a deck project under my stabilizers. When traveling I store them in the 5 gallon bucket used to cover the jack.

      @@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS another topic you might consider is related to keeping absorption fridges cool. I’ve started having some problems and I installed a 2x titan fan at the top of my fridge cavity to help pull hot air out and I have been testing it with results showing it’s worse with the fans going. I’m wondering if it’s actually pulling fresh air from the top more than it’s pulling from below. Seems crazy but I’m tempted to either add more fans to completely cover the top 6x20 vent exhaust opening but not sure. Anyway, it might be a good topic in the future for you. Many of the other videos are all the same.

    Never open the pressure relief valve on your water heater and release the air in there. That air is in there to allow for expansion in the hot water system.

    • @RVTIPSANDTRAVELS
      @RVTIPSANDTRAVELS  7 месяцев назад

      Opening the T&P valve doesn’t remove the air pocket at the top of the tank, it relieves the pressure. It does not create a vacuum and remove the air OR raise the water level. Normal use of an rv water heater is what reduces that air pocket over time. I can send you other videos from other channels that say the same thing if you dont believe me. The T&P valve is at the top of the tank, when you open it you relieve the pressure and any water that has made its way to or above the valve, which essentially increases, not decreases, the air pocket. Pretty simple science. The air pocket also needs to be occasionally reset. Resetting the air pocket along with some other information about the T&P valve are explained in more detail in the link at the end of this comment. Hope this makes things easier to understand, and thanks for watching:

    You shouldn’t have the red plug in the pressure relief valve of water heater. That needs to be free & clear of any/all obstructions.

    • @RVTIPSANDTRAVELS
      @RVTIPSANDTRAVELS  6 месяцев назад

      it doesnt interfere with the valve, and it basically falls out if there is any real water pressure behind it. It came from the factory as a cover to prevent insects nesting in the valve, so they said, but I've since removed it because it was falling out all the time.

    Just a reminder you may want to add. IF you drain your water heater, make sure you refill it before turning it on, water on and relief valve open until water comes out.. Especially for the electric side which could be damaged or the gas side which could trip the high temp limit.

    • @RVTIPSANDTRAVELS

      Absolutely, we always burp the valve before powering on the electric side to make sure. The heating element will burn out in seconds.
