Love our anti gravity chairs wouldn't be without them. the bag chairs, I can't sit in very long hurts my back and hips, never again. Buying a chair that you can totally relax in is important to me.
We put the zero gravity chairs in our tow vehicle. Could not RV without them! We would make room for them inside our class C if we had to The kind you like kill our backs and are not relaxing.
Okay, I've never agreed and disagreed with someone so much in a single video, lol. I love the pressure regulator. I agree about the blackstone. I too have the 22" double burner and wish I had the smaller one. When she went in on my zero gravity chair, I was about ready to fight, lol. Now she's talking about my collapsible trash can! We've got threeeeee little kids who produce more waste than a got'dang widget factory, lol. A big outside trashcan is a must. Ours is pretty big and we put a big industrial 55 gallon bag in it. Every night we take the trash can(s) from inside, dump them into the bigger outside one, then take the bag to the dumpster (or the curb). The great thing I've learned is that everyone camps differently, and it's awesome to hear different perspectives. But seriously, those zero gravity chairs are one of the best things about camping. I sleep better on those than my RV mattress, lol.
People will find the room when they want it . I saw the zero gravity chair and I was like hell nooo, that chair looks awesome. I love to sit and properly but it now lol
I’m not on board with ditch the zero gravity chair as well. These are the best! But if you look at their garage, it is attached to the slide. Looks like weight and size are more of an issue than we have for our class A.
Yesss! I love my zero gravity chairs. But I do agree, they are big, awkward and bulky. I just throw them on the floor of the RV for travel, but I can see why that might not work for some rigs. Same with the trash can; fill it up, dump it each night. We had a smaller trailer and there was just no room inside for a larger can. Everyone camps differently is so true. And what works today, might not work for you tomorrow. Lots of great ideas out there.
Love ours as well. I do see however that they are now getting WAY overpriced! I got one a few years ago much larger than the one shown for 7.99 on clearance. It doesn't take up much room at all and is there if I need it so a good overall purchase. I tend to agree about the zero gravity chairs. I purchased a couple of the Strongback Elite folding chairs and we use them camping as well as parades etc. all summer. Very comfy and easy to carry in their bags.
We bought a basically metal piece and it sits on any table picnics table or anything like that and you can put a trash bad in it and it’s just a bracket. I don’t think this made sense but it’s smaller and better than the trash can
I think it is important to stress personal preference! We have rv'd for over 5 years now and we love some of the items you trashed. I would recommend to each his own.
Weekend campers here that agree with the zero gravity chairs. They are big, bulky, heavy and confusing so we gave ours to neighbors who use them in their backyard. 🙂 The pop-up garbage can we LOVE though. We have a smaller one that we carry around everywhere and it gets used on every trip. It hasn't been collapsed for awhile either and just gets thrown in the bed of the truck whenever we go out. It's even lived in the bed of the truck on road trips for anytime we need an easy access garbage can. We love it! Happy camping though!
Love our zero gravity chairs and our pop up trash bin! I like the Blackstone but prefer the Weber 1200 grill. I think everything you mentions (aside from the water pressure regulator, agree with you there) comes down to a matter of personal preference. Example: I find the Colman chairs horribly uncomfortable on the back whereas the zero gravity much better support.
I love my outdoor trash can. We spend most our time outside. We cook outside we play outside unless it is bad weather. I agree with all your other items. We use Camp Chef instead of Blackstone. Love your channel.
I've just started using a collapsable trash, nice for use outside and larger items that fill up the small containers inside the RV. One has to remember to bring it inside or store in a compartment overnight .
I think it depends on the type of "camping" you do. We mainly boondock and we usually have several families with us, so most of our meals are cooked outside and eaten outside so the pop up garbage can is wonderful for us. But if we were in an rv park with trash cans all around or were eating inside, I can see how it isn't that big of a deal to have.
I love my zero gravity chairs. Bought them after a couple years of having the ones you suggest. We still have them but the zero gravity chairs are by far are fave.
My 5th wheel, an AutoMate, was made in 1999. It’s been in storage for 12 years. Three years ago we finally had the right kind truck to pull it. It was a “gift” from the in laws. Our water gauge is the old style. Papa, told us to be careful not to blow the pipes if the pressure got to high. I can tell you water pressure is quite low, but we have learned to live with it. I’ll look into your suggestion because we are headed to Utah to see Zion, Bryce and Arches. We’re excited. Thanks for all the good tips. 😁
I agree with your list. One thing I would say is I don't regret having the 22 inch Blackstone. It is heavier but I am glad for the extra space when using it.
We also have the 22" and love it. We are only. 3 people, but it makes the world of difference to us. I love the extra space especially for stir frys. Also have the collapsible trash cans and love those too. We can put all recycling in one and. any trash we can't burn in the other. Then we only have to make one trip to the dumpster at the end of the trip rather. than daily trips because of teeny trash cans in the TT.
I love my Coleman grill and do use it as well as my Blackstone 17 inch. The carry bag for the Blackstone is awesome! I also love having a garbage bag, ie the pop up type, outside. It’s convenient when cooking outside or for putting those beverage cans in!
We love our propane fire pit. No smoke and easy to use when you don't want a wood fire and can also be used under the RV awning when raining. We also love our director chairs with the integrated side table. I'm not crazy about the Coleman grill, but it does have burners for pots which the Blackstone doesn't. Thanks for sharing.
I love the zero G at home too. Super light weight and doesn't take up much space. Best addition to hoses ever are brass quick connects and a bag of replacememt rubber washers. I put them on everything. No more screwing the hose ends means no more stress on the ends which is the only weak point of these great hoses.
I agree with all except with the trash can we cook outside as much as possible so we don’t have to be walking back and forth and the dumpsters are a little far. For us it’s a must have
Agreed. I can only imagine the look on my wife’s face were I to take the inside trash can outside. Then what do we do for the inside? Plus, I throw away stuff you wouldn’t want adding odors to an inside trash can.
Our compromise was to just take ONE antigravity chair to share! We downsized to just one for same reason- size and weight! We are so thankful we got the 17” Blackstone instead of the 22. Bag really does make it easy to load/ unload. We like our pop up trash bin for outside 😀 Thank You, I appreciate your time in making this video for us!
Agree with everything except the trash can. Our inside trash can fills up fast. It is small so it fits under our sink. Love having the larger collapsible trash can. Use it all the time. Fewer trips to the dumpster.
Yes, I agree on all points. We have come around to, and use, each of your recommended products after having purchased several of the "not recommended products". Quickest way to see which chair is the best is place several around the campsite and invite some folks over. See which chairs are used and which are ignored. The zero gravity and expensive small hiking chairs are always ignored. The Yeti chairs are always the first to be used, but they are heavy and expensive.
Love our zero gravity chairs. Love how I can take a nap, read a book and just kick my feet up. The bag chairs are not the most comfortable they dig into the back of our legs. We prefer our two burner camp chef. We like the ability to make our coffee on it in the morning also we like to do corn on the cob and Blackstone doesn't give you the ability to boil water. Either way you are still carrying a griddle but with a camp chef you have more options to do different types of cooking.
I agreed with all of your recommendations other than the last one. We use a pop up trashcan (with liner) for our bottle/can recycles. There are still many states that don't recycle at all so we find this an easy way to still be able to recycle and then drop them off when we get to a place that does have a recycle container bin.
Totally love the zero G hose. I didn't realize it is drinking water safe! Thanks, I learned something. Totally like the outdoor trash can for boondocking. I also agree with other comments that those collapsible cans make good laundry bins. Thanks for your perspective and making us THINK!✌️💛🤙😎
I love my outdoor trash can! We got a different style collapsible one but it helps cut down on the in and out of the camper with the kids so less flies get inside and less things get spilled as they are carrying trash in and out. I can’t imagine trying to get them to carry a sticky watermelon rind inside dripping all over the floor as they walk to the trash can on the other side of the kitchen 😝 plus they like to leave the door wide open and the dog will run out if he sees another dog to play with 🤣
I use the collapsible trash can as my recycling bin. I can usually find a place that will take most of my recycling (Target, some grocery stores, Ikea, some state parks...).
The white hose with blue stripe is made especially for POTABLE water (drinking water). It is BPA, lead and phthalate-free. The materials used are UV stabilized to prevent degeneration from sunlight and are usually NSF certified for your safety, free from contaminants such as rubber. There are a number of brands to choose from and information online. I hope this helps understand why it’s important to have this type hose for safe drinking. As for the gravity chair, lol, I love mine because of back issues! However, we have downsized and I leave it home now. I’ve enjoyed some of your suggestions for storage ideas. Thank you and safe journeys.
Great suggestions! We prefer the director type folding chairs, yes they don’t collapse down as much as the “bag chairs” but we find the “bag chairs” very hard to get out of. I can see your point on the black stone grill. Many good suggestions, thank you for sharing your thoughts. 👍🏻🙏🏻
I agree on the set pressure regulator. We went to the adjustable one. We have zero gravity chairs but only use them at home. Your correct saying they take up too much room in the RV. We use director chairs with integrated side tables when camping. I really like the idea of the Zero G hose after I googled it to find it's drinking water safe. We have a 3 burner Camp Chef with a BBQ and two griddles. Great when our kids and grandkids are camping with us but when its just the wife and I its too much. Last camping trip I left it at home and took a table top BBQ that fit the small griddle from our Camp Chef. Worked great for us. We have a couple of the pop up containers. Because we do a lot of boon docking we don't have the option of ridding of our waste until we leave our campsite to find a trash bin. We use one of these for recyclables. When you mentioned these pop ups were suggested by "Campers" and are not for RV Life...this is where we divide. You and I have different opinions of RV Life.
I think you see so many of those blue and white drinking/fresh water hose is due to the fact that it was difficult to get people to stop using regular garden hose! Thus it was easier for newbies to recognize! Now it is getting people to convert in this day and age when you are seeing more people traveling around.
Tip for two burner black stone: lift the steel cooking surface out so you can move the unit and cooking surface separately. It’s an extra step much easier to move by yourself. It separates very easily.
Awesome Tips! I am there with you on everything. Before you thrash your trash container, (if it is clean) use it for your dirty clothes hamper. I did this and love it because It can get little or hold a lot for the laundry stops. I have a small traveler, so no W/D set up. Thanks again! Great Video!
Agree or disagree with the choices of good/bad, reviewing this video begs to check out and get rid of the items we are embarrassed purchasing or never using. Chairs like mattresses are a personal choice, as we keep both with us. Easy to carry when visiting others, fold up, when hanging out in our spot, like folding chairs with trays. I think I have a whole box of early purchased “what if” items that have never used. Time to toss. Good video and thank you.
Wè are not comfortable sitting on or able to get out of the bag chairs. We love the GCI rocking folding chair. We love the collapsible trash can for pot lucks. We are in our 70's and go out with a camping group and park host at 3 different state parks here in Arkansas.
Correct on the water pressure regulator and the Zero G hose. Not so much with the gravity chair and the trash can. We travel with two freestyle rocker chairs and one gravity chair. Can't properly enjoy a good nap in the good old outdoors in one of those folding chairs, that's where the gravity chair comes in. Wife loves both of the styles of chairs, keeps her happy. Of course if you have a smaller rig, you will have to make compromises. We have an 27.5 HT fifth wheel coach, so that is our compromise. We use the collapsible trash can outside, secure it to the camper steps with a large carabiner clip, handy for all clean up from cooking outdoors. At night I store it away in the truck bed.
Thanks for the video; you've got some good information. On the Coleman, I've had two over the last 17 years. We used them for a lot of tailgating and camping. Mine came with a griddle side and grill side.
OMG I wish this video was out when I bought my first RV. I made 90% of the same mistakes. My FW hose is now watering plants. My 0 gravity is in the garage covered in dust. My collapsable can now has dog toys in it in the house. I didn’t get a Coleman I ended up with a camp chef. Well my Blackstone is great but I really should of purchased a 17”. Great Video.
Agree completely on the camp chair. Those things are so big that we never take them with us. Agree on the Blackstone, but I say go with the 22" 2 burner version. I've been cooking on one of these for about a year and the smaller 17" version is too small unless you are cooking for just 2 people. We got that collapsible trash can too. I don't think we've ever used it. We use regular shopping bags for trash bags and visit the dumpster several times a day to dump the trash.
You are soooooo right about these points. We also learned exactly what you explained on zero gravity chairs. Fortunately, we deduced correctly on the hose (got zero-g), griddle (got 17" w/ carry bag and cover), adjustable regulator (Renator). Newbies should be very cautious and think through their purchase, not just blindly follow what "everyone" recommends.
I just bought a travel trailer. I bought it used and the guy threw in all the gear. Tow hitch, stabilizer bars, water softener and a lot more. I’m buying things I feel I need tailoring it to my specific needs. But this video definitely helped that’s why I subscribed
I agree with most of the things you reviewed. I've tried numerous zero gravity chairs and find them extremely uncomfortable, we recently got the "papa-san" type chairs and so far I love it. Couldn't agree more about the Coleman grill, total waste of money. Hard to store, hard to clean, uneven cooking. I'll hang on to my outdoor trash can, I cook a lot outdoors and with the outdoor kitchen it's a good addition. Plus not having to run back inside to throw away trash, our indoor trash can is smaller so when it gets full we put it in the outdoor one then go to the dumpster.
Good video. I agree with all your items. I do have some minor discrepancies. 1) The Colman grill. I have a Blackstone griddle and love it but i also carry a small BBQ gas grill. I like grilled steaks and chicken. I did dump my Coleman camp stove. 2) I have the two burner Blackstone and I am glad I got it over the single burner one. I like having 2 zones. For example, I will cook the sausage or bacon first, then move it to the cool side and cook pancakes. The cool side will keep the other food warm. I use the Blackstone even at our sticks and bricks. 3) I love the zero-G drinking water hose. I have a second non-drinking off-brand one I use for my back tank flush. 4) The Gravity chairs are the Lazy-Boy of camping chairs, they are heavy and takes a lot of room. But they are great for a nap. We have one but we usually use our director type folding chairs. The collapsible chairs you like just don't offer enough support to sit for long periods of time. Our director chairs have shoulder straps and are not bad to carry to the beach. They fold very flat and fit in our storage area very well. I think i paid $20 each for them and they have an attached side table.
I don’t use the trash can for trash. I put our extra power cord in it and some string lights works great to keep the cord from catching on stuff when stowed away
The adjustable water pressure regulator is so important. Most people don't realize that the water filters they add will already [significantly] reduce the water pressure, and adding the standard water pressure regulator without the ability to adjust it is like pinching the hose. That's one of the reasons RV water pressure is notoriously bad because it's getting throttled twice before it gets inside the RV.
I just bought our first camper. I’ve watched yours and other videos and appreciate all the help. We will be weekend warriors for now but will eventually transform to full time . The cost is crazy just for necessities to hook up. I’ve tried to go with what is recommended and spent a few extra $ but the initial hit is way more than I planned. Thanks for the video’s and maybe someday I’ll see ya at at campground.
We love our zero gravity chairs, but they are heavy and take a lot of room. One thing we bought that we only took once was our canopy. It never really worked. The shade was rarely under the canopy and the wind wanted to relocate it. We even bought weights for the legs. The whole thing was donated.
I agree with the gravity chairs. If you have room and really enjoy them but we did not have room in our travel trailer and also like taking our fold up chair takes a lot of room in the back of our truck. Enjoy watching your videos
I got the 22” Blackstone. Honestly I find it easier to clean off a pan than the whole tray. We have a Coleman with a grill on one side and stove burner on the other. It’s so much lighter and has wind blocks. I know many people love the Blackstone but I prefer steak and burgers on a grill and not a flat griddle that keeps everything in its own fat. You can always use the camp trashcan as a laundry bin. Easy to carry to the laundry room and folds flat. I do like your hose. I hate dealing with the white hose that always gets my feet wet because it flips around as I’m draining it.
We have actually started out with all of those items in the beginning and over the years switched to everything you mentioned. But we do still use our collapsing trash can outside, unfortunately we seem to throw away a lot of things while sitting outside 🤷🏼♂️. Great video newbies would save a bunch of $ watching this!
We did buy that water regulator without the pressure gauge. Agreed, it isn't worth the money. The regulator that you can adjust is always the better choice. Great video guys!
Those hoses work well for black tank as well, i just make sure i keep them separate. I also have the same kind of water pressure attachment, they are well worth the extra $$. Thanks for the video.
I definitely agree with the zero gravity chairs! We haven't ever splurged on them, but we have family that has. I've sat in them many times while camping with them, and I just don't like them! They might be good for taking a nap in, but sitting around a campfire visiting with people is difficult in them. We prefer regular camp chairs, although I am considering buying a nemo stargazer type chair.
We bought all the same stuff and use none of it anymore. Agree with yo-yo. All of it. We also have the zero g hoses and love them. Wife wanted the 22 inch black stone but I bought the 17 and it is perfect 👍
Yep I'm back again the collapsible trash can.... i used when I get to go tent camping!! (My health the past 2 years has limited me on my tent camping) However my BF now owns a camper and I still enjoy using the collapsible trash can for wet and dirty clothes until we arrive back home or wherever to wash!
We just recently bought a popup and haven't had the chance to use it yet. but like everyone else I've been watching video after video on things to buy, renovations, etc. It was refreshing to see a video comparing alternatives to the items that are mentioned as must get on every other video. I noticed in the comments people love their zero gravity chairs :) which I'm excited to get lol, but you offered some valid points on the other chairs which is the style we own and bring with us everywhere for tent camping, beach days, picnics, etc. and had them for probably like 10 years and they were cheap and get used a lot.
I love my anti-gravity chair, so I bought a bigger one at Cabela's and it was unweildly and heavy. I gave it to my grandson and am happy with the smaller one I bought on sale at Ace hardware. So be careful on the size. The smaller, lighter ones are just as comfy and sturdy.
Agree with most everything except the trash can. We have a smaller trailer and therefore a small trash inside. Unless you are camping in bear country, the expandable zip close can is a great way to have a larger trash capacity. The water hose is something everyone will go through. The zero G is the way to go.
Great video !!! I think gravity chair ? Is a preference. I do not have any problem loading it !! I don’t use those fold out chairs ... no . As for water regulator? Absolutely . Trash ? I just tie a bag around my awning.
Agree on: zero G water hose (50’ & 25’) as some faucets in state parks are far away split between 2 sites; adjustable water pressure regulator (I use a splitter after regulator for drinking water hookup and one for black flush that has a back flow preventer attached); headlamp (I like rechargeable ones) My wife loves the zero G chair, but I agree that it is too heavy for what you get. We bought a passive “dehumidifier” that is questionable. It sits on the floor or table. No reservoir or hose outlet. It is about 5” thick & 14” in diameter with a lot of quarter inch holes in the top. I must have been out of my mind when I bought this piece of junk. I guess I believed the lies on the outside of the box. It only draws 130 watts, and if it is plugged in, it is “working.”
We've thought about the Blackstone, but we already have a Coleman Grill with a lot of attachments which is a lot to carry around, but we carry a lot of canned veggies and we have a burner attachment for our grill so we can cook stuff like that oustide. We probably will invest in a Blackstone at some point instead of carrying our huge grill around all the time. For a weekend trip it's not worth the hassle.
We have two of each type of chair. We primarily use the zero gravity ones. My biggest waste would be the foldable suitcase solar panel. Only used it once.
I liked the video on one hand but on the other...I bought all those things! The Coleman grill was the worst and first to go but still dragging around my two collapsible trash cans! Thank for the helpful suggestions.
The more common regulator is far cheaper and mechanically simple. It has an absolute maximum pressure it will allow through the line. Almost nothing can go wrong with it, and it is sufficient for most needs. The more expensive one has more parts to fail, and could allow a surge in pressure because it's adjusted manually to a percentage of the input pressure. A surge in the mainline can cause a jump in pressure at the output, but it does allow you to raise your water pressure at need. Both have plusses and minuses. The Blackstone is trendy for sure, but I find a good Lodge cast iron frying pan on a Coleman stove (not grill), works just fine...and it will last so long I could pass it on to my grandchildren.
We have an Intech Sol Horizon. It's our first camping trailer. I insisted that we get the optional outdoor kitchen slide out. My thinking was that when it was hot and everyone was hanging outside, I wouldn't want to be stuck inside cooking. We've had the rig for 2 years and haven't used it yet. It takes up an entire storage bay. On the upside, it is removable, so we could take it out and leave it home if we really need the extra storage. Also, having just one helps my partner refrain from overpacking.
Good stuff. I agree on the chairs for sure. We started with the coleman grill and switched to the blackstone then ended up with weber. Lol The Zero G is cool to. Works great for us. I think most of my waste has come in wifi solutions of just trying different stuff. Great share.
I agree about the zero gravity chairs because of weight and room they take up. Old table top propane grill rusted out and I am considering a Blackstone or another table top. Everybody seems to love Blackstone but I am not sure they are easy to clean. I have bought a lot of useless RV items along the way which is why I like this type of video even if I don't agree with everything.
Hahaha! We have a hose cart with 120ft hose that we left at our rental this spring because after five years (twice yearly) of loading/unloading we decided it was a hassle we didn't want to put up with any more. Thank you for the informative video.
Thank you very much for the tips! We are just getting into the teardrop life and love it. One of the things I am bad at is like you said buying the biggest of things i.e. grill, totes, awning, etc. I do that because I am always thinking of cooking for other people that we are camping with when using our small stove will do. I did buy the filter from one of your videos and looking into the hose as that would be compact as well. Thanks again and keep the videos coming!
Great video! So the folding camp chairs like you showed just kill my back so my dilemma for our tiny trailer was the same, while comfortable those zero gravity chairs are just unworkable. However I found an adjustable back folding chair, slightly bigger than the regular ones but a ton lighter and smaller folded than those zero gravity ones. So for those of you with back issues, a solution is out there.
@@jeffleonard9983 We've had a few different kinds over the years. Some from Amazon and some from Sportsmans Warehouse - both are bulky and just too big to be practical for us.
I'm surprised about the chair recommendation. We bought the absolute cheapest zero gravity chairs and find them comfortable, light, and easily fit in our outdoor storage hatch. We have the Colman chairs you recommend as well but after half an hour sitting in them, we can hardly walk they are so uncomfortable.
Totally agree on the weight and inconvenience of the zero-gravity chairs. I have 2 and they ARE heavy and don't fold small enough. That said, the camping chair you showed is a horrible back ache waiting to happen for me. But they do make a camper-folding Adirondack chair that I might try out. Reclines, has a foot rest, and packs down nicely while being light weight. I do love sitting in my zero-gravity chair, but the weight and size outweighs the comfort.
Had the adjustible regulator and it failed within 4 months at our seasonal hookup, I ended up getting a higher pressure NON adjustable regulator (not all made the same so check the PSI, you want the 55 regulated one not the 40 that'll help I've found, 100% with you on pretty much everything else, I have to get a second zero g hose (non potable water version) for the black tank hookup to flush I needed the reminder!
If you liked this video, be sure to check out our other top videos here! ruclips.net/p/PLJsTbI4IKRk72MksoA_CPnf3FxLm27HPh
Love our anti gravity chairs wouldn't be without them. the bag chairs, I can't sit in very long hurts my back and hips, never again. Buying a chair that you can totally relax in is important to me.
Glad you found chairs that work well for you!
completely agree! love taking an afternoon nap outside in one of our zero g chairs, can’t do that in a coleman
Love zero gravity chairs i need to have my legs up.
I also just got some zero gravity chairs. I've done the bag chairs for many years and I'm to the point I can no longer be comfortable in them.
We put the zero gravity chairs in our tow vehicle. Could not RV without them! We would make room for them inside our class C if we had to The kind you like kill our backs and are not relaxing.
Okay, I've never agreed and disagreed with someone so much in a single video, lol. I love the pressure regulator. I agree about the blackstone. I too have the 22" double burner and wish I had the smaller one. When she went in on my zero gravity chair, I was about ready to fight, lol. Now she's talking about my collapsible trash can! We've got threeeeee little kids who produce more waste than a got'dang widget factory, lol. A big outside trashcan is a must. Ours is pretty big and we put a big industrial 55 gallon bag in it. Every night we take the trash can(s) from inside, dump them into the bigger outside one, then take the bag to the dumpster (or the curb). The great thing I've learned is that everyone camps differently, and it's awesome to hear different perspectives. But seriously, those zero gravity chairs are one of the best things about camping. I sleep better on those than my RV mattress, lol.
Thanks for comment and thanks for watching!
People will find the room when they want it . I saw the zero gravity chair and I was like hell nooo, that chair looks awesome. I love to sit and properly but it now lol
I’m not on board with ditch the zero gravity chair as well. These are the best! But if you look at their garage, it is attached to the slide. Looks like weight and size are more of an issue than we have for our class A.
Yesss! I love my zero gravity chairs. But I do agree, they are big, awkward and bulky. I just throw them on the floor of the RV for travel, but I can see why that might not work for some rigs. Same with the trash can; fill it up, dump it each night. We had a smaller trailer and there was just no room inside for a larger can. Everyone camps differently is so true. And what works today, might not work for you tomorrow. Lots of great ideas out there.
Won’t be without my zero gravity chair
I love this info!!!!!!!!❤
I can watch this for hours!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can't live without our large collapsible waste bin outside.
Great that you use and love it. It just wasn’t useful for us.
Love ours as well. I do see however that they are now getting WAY overpriced! I got one a few years ago much larger than the one shown for 7.99 on clearance. It doesn't take up much room at all and is there if I need it so a good overall purchase. I tend to agree about the zero gravity chairs. I purchased a couple of the Strongback Elite folding chairs and we use them camping as well as parades etc. all summer. Very comfy and easy to carry in their bags.
I also use mine to collect weeds when gardening. Love it for that.
Us too
We bought a basically metal piece and it sits on any table picnics table or anything like that and you can put a trash bad in it and it’s just a bracket. I don’t think this made sense but it’s smaller and better than the trash can
The outdoor garbage can works great as an indoor laundry hamper and the nice thing it folds down for easy storage.
That is a great use for the outdoor garbage can! Thanks for watching :)
Thanks Bryan, awesome tip!
Wouldn’t it make you laundry smell like garbage?
We all buy crap we don’t don’t need !! I love my zero G hose, love my collapsible trash can, love my Coleman chair!!
I think it is important to stress personal preference! We have rv'd for over 5 years now and we love some of the items you trashed. I would recommend to each his own.
This of course is our personal preference and what we feel works well RV life for our RV style. Thanks for watching.
Weekend campers here that agree with the zero gravity chairs. They are big, bulky, heavy and confusing so we gave ours to neighbors who use them in their backyard. 🙂 The pop-up garbage can we LOVE though. We have a smaller one that we carry around everywhere and it gets used on every trip. It hasn't been collapsed for awhile either and just gets thrown in the bed of the truck whenever we go out. It's even lived in the bed of the truck on road trips for anytime we need an easy access garbage can. We love it! Happy camping though!
Thanks for watching 💙
For people that dry camp, access to campground trash cans.(haven’t seen one at any state park in NY). So the collapsible can is pretty handy
Love our zero gravity chairs and our pop up trash bin! I like the Blackstone but prefer the Weber 1200 grill. I think everything you mentions (aside from the water pressure regulator, agree with you there) comes down to a matter of personal preference. Example: I find the Colman chairs horribly uncomfortable on the back whereas the zero gravity much better support.
True, personal preference for sure. Thanks for watching and happy camping!
I love my outdoor trash can. We spend most our time outside. We cook outside we play outside unless it is bad weather. I agree with all your other items. We use Camp Chef instead of Blackstone. Love your channel.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching. I agree, Camp Chef is also another great brand!
Us too. Use it all the time..✌️
I've just started using a collapsable trash, nice for use outside and larger items that fill up the small containers inside the RV. One has to remember to bring it inside or store in a compartment overnight .
I think it depends on the type of "camping" you do. We mainly boondock and we usually have several families with us, so most of our meals are cooked outside and eaten outside so the pop up garbage can is wonderful for us. But if we were in an rv park with trash cans all around or were eating inside, I can see how it isn't that big of a deal to have.
I love my zero gravity chairs. Bought them after a couple years of having the ones you suggest. We still have them but the zero gravity chairs are by far are fave.
Glad they’re working for you, just too big and bulky for us.
@@GratefulGlamper seems like you could sell them fairly easy? Tons of folks seem to Love theirs? Especially if they were super pricey
My 5th wheel, an AutoMate, was made in 1999. It’s been in storage for 12 years. Three years ago we finally had the right kind truck to pull it. It was a “gift” from the in laws. Our water gauge is the old style. Papa, told us to be careful not to blow the pipes if the pressure got to high. I can tell you water pressure is quite low, but we have learned to live with it. I’ll look into your suggestion because we are headed to Utah to see Zion, Bryce and Arches. We’re excited. Thanks for all the good tips. 😁
Safe travels!
I agree with your list. One thing I would say is I don't regret having the 22 inch Blackstone. It is heavier but I am glad for the extra space when using it.
It is nice when you have company to cook for. 😉 Thanks for the comment!
We also have the 22" and love it. We are only. 3 people, but it makes the world of difference to us. I love the extra space especially for stir frys. Also have the collapsible trash cans and love those too. We can put all recycling in one and. any trash we can't burn in the other. Then we only have to make one trip to the dumpster at the end of the trip rather. than daily trips because of teeny trash cans in the TT.
I love my Coleman grill and do use it as well as my Blackstone 17 inch. The carry bag for the Blackstone is awesome! I also love having a garbage bag, ie the pop up type, outside. It’s convenient when cooking outside or for putting those beverage cans in!
We love our propane fire pit. No smoke and easy to use when you don't want a wood fire and can also be used under the RV awning when raining. We also love our director chairs with the integrated side table. I'm not crazy about the Coleman grill, but it does have burners for pots which the Blackstone doesn't. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
I love the zero G at home too. Super light weight and doesn't take up much space. Best addition to hoses ever are brass quick connects and a bag of replacememt rubber washers. I put them on everything. No more screwing the hose ends means no more stress on the ends which is the only weak point of these great hoses.
👍🏻👍🏻
I agree with all except with the trash can we cook outside as much as possible so we don’t have to be walking back and forth and the dumpsters are a little far. For us it’s a must have
Agreed. I can only imagine the look on my wife’s face were I to take the inside trash can outside. Then what do we do for the inside? Plus, I throw away stuff you wouldn’t want adding odors to an inside trash can.
Our compromise was to just take ONE antigravity chair to share! We downsized to just one for same reason- size and weight! We are so thankful we got the 17” Blackstone instead of the 22. Bag really does make it easy to load/ unload. We like our pop up trash bin for outside 😀 Thank You, I appreciate your time in making this video for us!
Thanks for watching!
We have a carry bag for our 22”
Agree with everything except the trash can. Our inside trash can fills up fast. It is small so it fits under our sink. Love having the larger collapsible trash can. Use it all the time. Fewer trips to the dumpster.
Yes, I agree on all points. We have come around to, and use, each of your recommended products after having purchased several of the "not recommended products". Quickest way to see which chair is the best is place several around the campsite and invite some folks over. See which chairs are used and which are ignored. The zero gravity and expensive small hiking chairs are always ignored. The Yeti chairs are always the first to be used, but they are heavy and expensive.
we dry camp alot and big trash cans aren't available so we use our collapsible ones for trash and recyclable cans/bottles.
Outside trash can is a must. We spend most of our time outside and do most of our cooking outside.
Glad it comes in handy for you. Just isn’t for us. We bring our trash from the inside to outside when needed.
The outside trashcan is an absolute must for us. We generate most of our trash outside.
Love our zero gravity chairs. Love how I can take a nap, read a book and just kick my feet up. The bag chairs are not the most comfortable they dig into the back of our legs. We prefer our two burner camp chef. We like the ability to make our coffee on it in the morning also we like to do corn on the cob and Blackstone doesn't give you the ability to boil water. Either way you are still carrying a griddle but with a camp chef you have more options to do different types of cooking.
I agreed with all of your recommendations other than the last one. We use a pop up trashcan (with liner) for our bottle/can recycles. There are still many states that don't recycle at all so we find this an easy way to still be able to recycle and then drop them off when we get to a place that does have a recycle container bin.
We’ve found recycling to not be as readily available in some areas too. I really wish more campgrounds offered recycling.
Totally love the zero G hose. I didn't realize it is drinking water safe! Thanks, I learned something. Totally like the outdoor trash can for boondocking. I also agree with other comments that those collapsible cans make good laundry bins. Thanks for your perspective and making us THINK!✌️💛🤙😎
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment with your thoughts!
I love my outdoor trash can! We got a different style collapsible one but it helps cut down on the in and out of the camper with the kids so less flies get inside and less things get spilled as they are carrying trash in and out. I can’t imagine trying to get them to carry a sticky watermelon rind inside dripping all over the floor as they walk to the trash can on the other side of the kitchen 😝 plus they like to leave the door wide open and the dog will run out if he sees another dog to play with 🤣
I use the collapsible trash can as my recycling bin. I can usually find a place that will take most of my recycling (Target, some grocery stores, Ikea, some state parks...).
One of my biggest “beefs” with some campgrounds is the lack of recycling.
The white hose with blue stripe is made especially for POTABLE water (drinking water). It is BPA, lead and phthalate-free. The materials used are UV stabilized to prevent degeneration from sunlight and are usually NSF certified for your safety, free from contaminants such as rubber. There are a number of brands to choose from and information online. I hope this helps understand why it’s important to have this type hose for safe drinking. As for the gravity chair, lol, I love mine because of back issues! However, we have downsized and I leave it home now. I’ve enjoyed some of your suggestions for storage ideas. Thank you and safe journeys.
Thanks for watching- safe journeys to you also.
Great suggestions! We prefer the director type folding chairs, yes they don’t collapse down as much as the “bag chairs” but we find the “bag chairs” very hard to get out of. I can see your point on the black stone grill. Many good suggestions, thank you for sharing your thoughts. 👍🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for watching!
We use the director chairs also much eaaier to get out of especially when fishing! And 4th of july:)
I agree on the set pressure regulator. We went to the adjustable one.
We have zero gravity chairs but only use them at home. Your correct saying they take up too much room in the RV. We use director chairs with integrated side tables when camping.
I really like the idea of the Zero G hose after I googled it to find it's drinking water safe.
We have a 3 burner Camp Chef with a BBQ and two griddles. Great when our kids and grandkids are camping with us but when its just the wife and I its too much. Last camping trip I left it at home and took a table top BBQ that fit the small griddle from our Camp Chef. Worked great for us.
We have a couple of the pop up containers. Because we do a lot of boon docking we don't have the option of ridding of our waste until we leave our campsite to find a trash bin. We use one of these for recyclables.
When you mentioned these pop ups were suggested by "Campers" and are not for RV Life...this is where we divide. You and I have different opinions of RV Life.
I think you see so many of those blue and white drinking/fresh water hose is due to the fact that it was difficult to get people to stop using regular garden hose! Thus it was easier for newbies to recognize! Now it is getting people to convert in this day and age when you are seeing more people traveling around.
We use a collapsible trash can inside and outside. They're very handy!!
Tip for two burner black stone: lift the steel cooking surface out so you can move the unit and cooking surface separately. It’s an extra step much easier to move by yourself. It separates very easily.
Good to know!
Newbie here. I am so glad I found this video. Great tips!
Welcome and thanks for watching!
Agree with everything but my trash can lol I love ours we use it religiously
Awesome Tips! I am there with you on everything. Before you thrash your trash container, (if it is clean) use it for your dirty clothes hamper. I did this and love it because It can get little or hold a lot for the laundry stops. I have a small traveler, so no W/D set up. Thanks again! Great Video!
Thanks for watching
Agree or disagree with the choices of good/bad, reviewing this video begs to check out and get rid of the items we are embarrassed purchasing or never using. Chairs like mattresses are a personal choice, as we keep both with us. Easy to carry when visiting others, fold up, when hanging out in our spot, like folding chairs with trays. I think I have a whole box of early purchased “what if” items that have never used. Time to toss. Good video and thank you.
Thanks for watching
Love my bag chair, it's so big and has filled in sides, I can get my legs up in it and curl up with a book and blanket so comfy, I love it.
Wè are not comfortable sitting on or able to get out of the bag chairs. We love the GCI rocking folding chair. We love the collapsible trash can for pot lucks. We are in our 70's and go out with a camping group and park host at 3 different state parks here in Arkansas.
Correct on the water pressure regulator and the Zero G hose. Not so much with the gravity chair and the trash can. We travel with two freestyle rocker chairs and one gravity chair. Can't properly enjoy a good nap in the good old outdoors in one of those folding chairs, that's where the gravity chair comes in. Wife loves both of the styles of chairs, keeps her happy. Of course if you have a smaller rig, you will have to make compromises. We have an 27.5 HT fifth wheel coach, so that is our compromise. We use the collapsible trash can outside, secure it to the camper steps with a large carabiner clip, handy for all clean up from cooking outdoors. At night I store it away in the truck bed.
Thanks for the video; you've got some good information. On the Coleman, I've had two over the last 17 years. We used them for a lot of tailgating and camping. Mine came with a griddle side and grill side.
OMG I wish this video was out when I bought my first RV. I made 90% of the same mistakes. My FW hose is now watering plants. My 0 gravity is in the garage covered in dust. My collapsable can now has dog toys in it in the house. I didn’t get a Coleman I ended up with a camp chef. Well my Blackstone is great but I really should of purchased a 17”. Great Video.
Thanks for watching!
We also have a Campchef.
Such a great video, space and weight are everything in the world of RVing. Loved the griddle idea
Thanks for watching!
Agree completely on the camp chair. Those things are so big that we never take them with us.
Agree on the Blackstone, but I say go with the 22" 2 burner version. I've been cooking on one of these for about a year and the smaller 17" version is too small unless you are cooking for just 2 people.
We got that collapsible trash can too. I don't think we've ever used it. We use regular shopping bags for trash bags and visit the dumpster several times a day to dump the trash.
These tips are so right! Pay attention people! I am guilty of all of this! Thomyt
love the collapsing trash can. we do all our cooking out side. i have a camp chef stove similar to a black stone.
Agree with the Blackstone griddle.
What u said about those chairs ,I found 100% true. Too heavy ,too big. Also if you use bag chairs use hard arm chairs. Way more comfortable.
You are soooooo right about these points. We also learned exactly what you explained on zero gravity chairs. Fortunately, we deduced correctly on the hose (got zero-g), griddle (got 17" w/ carry bag and cover), adjustable regulator (Renator). Newbies should be very cautious and think through their purchase, not just blindly follow what "everyone" recommends.
So true, thanks for watching
Dynamax sent us one of those collapsable baskets as a gift. We use it as a laundry basket.
I just bought a travel trailer. I bought it used and the guy threw in all the gear. Tow hitch, stabilizer bars, water softener and a lot more. I’m buying things I feel I need tailoring it to my specific needs. But this video definitely helped that’s why I subscribed
Glad to have helped! Happy camping.
I agree with most of the things you reviewed. I've tried numerous zero gravity chairs and find them extremely uncomfortable, we recently got the "papa-san" type chairs and so far I love it. Couldn't agree more about the Coleman grill, total waste of money. Hard to store, hard to clean, uneven cooking. I'll hang on to my outdoor trash can, I cook a lot outdoors and with the outdoor kitchen it's a good addition. Plus not having to run back inside to throw away trash, our indoor trash can is smaller so when it gets full we put it in the outdoor one then go to the dumpster.
👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
The brass water pressure gage works great. We get plenty of pressure.
We use the collapsible trash can for the recycle bin! Love our zero gravity chairs. Just ditched the Coleman grill for Blackstone.
Good video.
I agree with all your items. I do have some minor discrepancies.
1) The Colman grill. I have a Blackstone griddle and love it but i also carry a small BBQ gas grill. I like grilled steaks and chicken. I did dump my Coleman camp stove.
2) I have the two burner Blackstone and I am glad I got it over the single burner one. I like having 2 zones. For example, I will cook the sausage or bacon first, then move it to the cool side and cook pancakes. The cool side will keep the other food warm. I use the Blackstone even at our sticks and bricks.
3) I love the zero-G drinking water hose. I have a second non-drinking off-brand one I use for my back tank flush.
4) The Gravity chairs are the Lazy-Boy of camping chairs, they are heavy and takes a lot of room. But they are great for a nap. We have one but we usually use our director type folding chairs. The collapsible chairs you like just don't offer enough support to sit for long periods of time. Our director chairs have shoulder straps and are not bad to carry to the beach. They fold very flat and fit in our storage area very well. I think i paid $20 each for them and they have an attached side table.
All good points - thanks so much for the comment as it helps others too. 😎
I don’t use the trash can for trash. I put our extra power cord in it and some string lights works great to keep the cord from catching on stuff when stowed away
Great use for it!
The adjustable water pressure regulator is so important. Most people don't realize that the water filters they add will already [significantly] reduce the water pressure, and adding the standard water pressure regulator without the ability to adjust it is like pinching the hose. That's one of the reasons RV water pressure is notoriously bad because it's getting throttled twice before it gets inside the RV.
Good point.
I just bought our first camper. I’ve watched yours and other videos and appreciate all the help. We will be weekend warriors for now but will eventually transform to full time . The cost is crazy just for necessities to hook up. I’ve tried to go with what is recommended and spent a few extra $ but the initial hit is way more than I planned. Thanks for the video’s and maybe someday I’ll see ya at at campground.
👍🏻
We love our zero gravity chairs, but they are heavy and take a lot of room. One thing we bought that we only took once was our canopy. It never really worked. The shade was rarely under the canopy and the wind wanted to relocate it. We even bought weights for the legs. The whole thing was donated.
👍🏻👍🏻
I agree with the gravity chairs. If you have room and really enjoy them but we did not have room in our travel trailer and also like taking our fold up chair takes a lot of room in the back of our truck. Enjoy watching your videos
Thanks for watching
Agree with the Blackstone grill. We made the same mistake and it is too big to lug around.
I got the 22” Blackstone. Honestly I find it easier to clean off a pan than the whole tray. We have a Coleman with a grill on one side and stove burner on the other. It’s so much lighter and has wind blocks. I know many people love the Blackstone but I prefer steak and burgers on a grill and not a flat griddle that keeps everything in its own fat.
You can always use the camp trashcan as a laundry bin. Easy to carry to the laundry room and folds flat. I do like your hose. I hate dealing with the white hose that always gets my feet wet because it flips around as I’m draining it.
Thanks for the comment!
We have actually started out with all of those items in the beginning and over the years switched to everything you mentioned. But we do still use our collapsing trash can outside, unfortunately we seem to throw away a lot of things while sitting outside 🤷🏼♂️. Great video newbies would save a bunch of $ watching this!
Thanks so much! Our goal is to save people some money so they don’t get the items we both did, lol. Appreciate you watching.
Thanks for all the info. Like you said what works for some people doesn't always work for everyone. It's good to have choices.😎👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for watching.
I love my collapsible trash can, i got mine on Amazon and it had four clips inside that holds the garbage bags.
We did buy that water regulator without the pressure gauge. Agreed, it isn't worth the money. The regulator that you can adjust is always the better choice. Great video guys!
Thank you!
Those hoses work well for black tank as well, i just make sure i keep them separate. I also have the same kind of water pressure attachment, they are well worth the extra $$. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
I definitely agree with the zero gravity chairs! We haven't ever splurged on them, but we have family that has. I've sat in them many times while camping with them, and I just don't like them! They might be good for taking a nap in, but sitting around a campfire visiting with people is difficult in them. We prefer regular camp chairs, although I am considering buying a nemo stargazer type chair.
We don’t feel they are practical either.
We bought all the same stuff and use none of it anymore. Agree with yo-yo. All of it. We also have the zero g hoses and love them. Wife wanted the 22 inch black stone but I bought the 17 and it is perfect 👍
Awesome - thanks for watching!
Yep I'm back again the collapsible trash can.... i used when I get to go tent camping!! (My health the past 2 years has limited me on my tent camping) However my BF now owns a camper and I still enjoy using the collapsible trash can for wet and dirty clothes until we arrive back home or wherever to wash!
Good use for it!
A lot of people need camping chairs with solid arms, particularly those with bad knees.
We just recently bought a popup and haven't had the chance to use it yet. but like everyone else I've been watching video after video on things to buy, renovations, etc. It was refreshing to see a video comparing alternatives to the items that are mentioned as must get on every other video. I noticed in the comments people love their zero gravity chairs :) which I'm excited to get lol, but you offered some valid points on the other chairs which is the style we own and bring with us everywhere for tent camping, beach days, picnics, etc. and had them for probably like 10 years and they were cheap and get used a lot.
Thanks for watching 💙
I love my anti-gravity chair, so I bought a bigger one at Cabela's and it was unweildly and heavy. I gave it to my grandson and am happy with the smaller one I bought on sale at Ace hardware. So be careful on the size. The smaller, lighter ones are just as comfy and sturdy.
Agree with most everything except the trash can. We have a smaller trailer and therefore a small trash inside. Unless you are camping in bear country, the expandable zip close can is a great way to have a larger trash capacity. The water hose is something everyone will go through. The zero G is the way to go.
💩
Great video !!! I think gravity chair ? Is a preference. I do not have any problem loading it !! I don’t use those fold out chairs ... no . As for water regulator? Absolutely . Trash ? I just tie a bag around my awning.
👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for watching!
Omg!!!!!
Girl you are speaking to my soul!!!!
You had me at water pressure 🤣🤣🤣
Had that exact problem last fall
AND NOW I KNOW WHY 😂😍
TYSM!!!
Hey, happy to help!
Agree on: zero G water hose (50’ & 25’) as some faucets in state parks are far away split between 2 sites; adjustable water pressure regulator (I use a splitter after regulator for drinking water hookup and one for black flush that has a back flow preventer attached); headlamp (I like rechargeable ones)
My wife loves the zero G chair, but I agree that it is too heavy for what you get. We bought a passive “dehumidifier” that is questionable. It sits on the floor or table. No reservoir or hose outlet. It is about 5” thick & 14” in diameter with a lot of quarter inch holes in the top. I must have been out of my mind when I bought this piece of junk. I guess I believed the lies on the outside of the box. It only draws 130 watts, and if it is plugged in, it is “working.”
Are they possible hoses I thought the only hose it was a portable hose was a white one
We've thought about the Blackstone, but we already have a Coleman Grill with a lot of attachments which is a lot to carry around, but we carry a lot of canned veggies and we have a burner attachment for our grill so we can cook stuff like that oustide. We probably will invest in a Blackstone at some point instead of carrying our huge grill around all the time. For a weekend trip it's not worth the hassle.
We have two of each type of chair. We primarily use the zero gravity ones. My biggest waste would be the foldable suitcase solar panel. Only used it once.
Oh the gravity chairs! 🤦🏻♀️They were a waste of money for us too! We totally agree with the zero G hose!!
I liked the video on one hand but on the other...I bought all those things! The Coleman grill was the worst and first to go but still dragging around my two collapsible trash cans! Thank for the helpful suggestions.
Thanks for watching!
Agree on the gravity chairs. Heavy, PITA to store.
I think the trash can would come in handy. We love to be outside of our camper mostly and I hate running in and out.
The more common regulator is far cheaper and mechanically simple. It has an absolute maximum pressure it will allow through the line. Almost nothing can go wrong with it, and it is sufficient for most needs. The more expensive one has more parts to fail, and could allow a surge in pressure because it's adjusted manually to a percentage of the input pressure. A surge in the mainline can cause a jump in pressure at the output, but it does allow you to raise your water pressure at need. Both have plusses and minuses. The Blackstone is trendy for sure, but I find a good Lodge cast iron frying pan on a Coleman stove (not grill), works just fine...and it will last so long I could pass it on to my grandchildren.
Great points - thanks for watching.
We have an Intech Sol Horizon. It's our first camping trailer. I insisted that we get the optional outdoor kitchen slide out. My thinking was that when it was hot and everyone was hanging outside, I wouldn't want to be stuck inside cooking. We've had the rig for 2 years and haven't used it yet. It takes up an entire storage bay. On the upside, it is removable, so we could take it out and leave it home if we really need the extra storage. Also, having just one helps my partner refrain from overpacking.
LOVE MY low gravity chair!
Good stuff. I agree on the chairs for sure. We started with the coleman grill and switched to the blackstone then ended up with weber. Lol The Zero G is cool to. Works great for us. I think most of my waste has come in wifi solutions of just trying different stuff. Great share.
Thanks for watching!
We have a Camp chef 3 and 2 burner stove , best investment ever, as we have a griddle pan and pots n pans to cook on .
I also fell on the same trap the water hose and the water regulator.
I agree about the zero gravity chairs because of weight and room they take up. Old table top propane grill rusted out and I am considering a Blackstone or another table top. Everybody seems to love Blackstone but I am not sure they are easy to clean. I have bought a lot of useless RV items along the way which is why I like this type of video even if I don't agree with everything.
👍🏻 Thanks for watching and the comment
Hahaha! We have a hose cart with 120ft hose that we left at our rental this spring because after five years (twice yearly) of loading/unloading we decided it was a hassle we didn't want to put up with any more. Thank you for the informative video.
Thanks for watching 💙
Thank you very much for the tips! We are just getting into the teardrop life and love it. One of the things I am bad at is like you said buying the biggest of things i.e. grill, totes, awning, etc. I do that because I am always thinking of cooking for other people that we are camping with when using our small stove will do. I did buy the filter from one of your videos and looking into the hose as that would be compact as well. Thanks again and keep the videos coming!
Thanks for watching
We love our zero-gravity chairs. We don't have children, so we carry less stuff. Love your videos. We try to check your videos out first.
Thank you!
Great video! So the folding camp chairs like you showed just kill my back so my dilemma for our tiny trailer was the same, while comfortable those zero gravity chairs are just unworkable. However I found an adjustable back folding chair, slightly bigger than the regular ones but a ton lighter and smaller folded than those zero gravity ones. So for those of you with back issues, a solution is out there.
That sounds like an awesome chair!
Could you maybe give us the brand name of that chair?
@@jeffleonard9983 We've had a few different kinds over the years. Some from Amazon and some from Sportsmans Warehouse - both are bulky and just too big to be practical for us.
can you please share a link to the chair so we know what you are speaking to. I have major back issues too so it would be super helpful to us! Thanks!
@@denisemiceli3617 these are the "zero gravity" type chairs we no longer use: amzn.to/36GyTTo
Love your money saving tips while RVing.
I'm surprised about the chair recommendation. We bought the absolute cheapest zero gravity chairs and find them comfortable, light, and easily fit in our outdoor storage hatch. We have the Colman chairs you recommend as well but after half an hour sitting in them, we can hardly walk they are so uncomfortable.
For us it’s a matter of space PLUS we’re not sitting for long when we camp.
Totally agree on the weight and inconvenience of the zero-gravity chairs. I have 2 and they ARE heavy and don't fold small enough. That said, the camping chair you showed is a horrible back ache waiting to happen for me. But they do make a camper-folding Adirondack chair that I might try out. Reclines, has a foot rest, and packs down nicely while being light weight. I do love sitting in my zero-gravity chair, but the weight and size outweighs the comfort.
You’ll have to let us know how those chairs work out.
What brand is the Adirondack chair? Thanks
Had the adjustible regulator and it failed within 4 months at our seasonal hookup, I ended up getting a higher pressure NON adjustable regulator (not all made the same so check the PSI, you want the 55 regulated one not the 40 that'll help I've found, 100% with you on pretty much everything else, I have to get a second zero g hose (non potable water version) for the black tank hookup to flush I needed the reminder!
Thanks for the comment and for watching 💙
