Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Now I feel like I can do this by myself!!!!
Yes! 🙌 You can! I’m so happy you feel that way! ☀️
Stephanie you’re doing well; but when your in cold temps and possibly over night freezing 🥶 temps. You may not want to use the water filter, since it can burst 💥 on you. And buy yourself a heated hose. The hose will have its own temp control and turn on when temps get under 37 degrees. And you may want a ceramic electric heater when you have shore-power. If you trigger the breaker then turn off the hot water heater. until 40 mins before needing it for a shower. Great idea with the cover over the spigot. Oh almost forgot get yourself quick connects for the hoses.
Thank you so much for the tips!
Since you are connected to the campground electricity, you could heat your trailer using an electric portable heater, they are much less noisy than the propane heater and you don't spend propane for nothing.
Thank you so much for the tip! I’m for sure going to get a portable heater after learning this ☀️
Also before i forget and i want to be sure you see this. Flagstaff used about a spoonful of expanding foam on the holes drilled for plumbing and such in mine. Maybe it was one workers bad day but it was not only a massve air leak the mice loved it. I had a helluva time finding all the holes. Some day im literally going to tear the whole kitchen and bathtub out to re seal them super tight. Luckily, the holes are under the stove and tub area so even if one manages in there, he cant get into the main room.
Ohhhh nooo, thank you for the information! I’m definitely going to keep this in mind!
I must say you are appreciated...thank you for showing how you did everything. I will be purchasing my Flagstaff E Pro E19FBS and it seems overwhelming but your video made me feel confident. Be safe on your wonderful journey and enjoy. From Stacy in Florida 😊
Yes! You got this! It may seem overwhelming at first but definitely get easier☀️ Happy Adventuring!
Looks like a nice campground. I have family that lives in Cherry Log - right before you get into Blue Ridge.
It was beautiful ☀️
Wow! I learned so much in this one video! Your step-by-step instructions were invaluable! Keep it going!
I’m so glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for watching!
Enjoying life. You go girl!
🙌
Wow! Excellent site! I put my bars right behind the propane tanks across the frame. The clips to hold the bars in place I put on top of the cover for the propane tanks. Buy some extra of them. One came off on me and luckily the bar holder didn't fly off. Hope you had a nice Christmas with the family, you were definitly dressed for it with your sweaters. Have a great new year!
That is a great place to store the bars, Thank you for the suggestion! I was definitely vibin’ with the sweaters lol, have a great New Year as well ☀️🙌
Fantastic I'm learning alot every video is amazing, thankyou again!👍👍🙏⛵️
I’m so glad you’re learning from the videos! That is what I love to hear ☀️
You go gal! Soo nice to see you living your best life and travels as a solo female! Girl Power!!👍🏻👍🏻
🙌
Great job sweetie!❤😊
Thank you! ☺️
To save your propane get yourself an electric heater. Use their power when ever possible. Great video! Your doing very well for someone new at this.
Nothing but envy.
Thank you so much! It’s been a learning process for sure! I’ll definitely look into an electric heater. I want to use my propane up so I know how to change out the canisters👍
Digging your Christmas sweater! 😊 I'm finding myself binge watching your videos. Great job!
Thanks so much 😊
Such a beautiful place to overnight. Electric blankets for a peaceful night sleep when your hooked up to power. Saving on propane, and I imagine the heater fills up the coach with warm air pretty quick when you want. Thanks for the video. Happy New Year!
Yes 🙌 Happy New year! 🎊
Good job girl.
Thank you 😊☀️
You've learned well
Thank you so much!
this is so helpful! Thank you. Gorgeous views, have a cozy time!
I’m so glad it was helpful!
New Subscriber here 🤗. Such beautiful views ❤
Welcome ☀️ Thanks for subscribing!
enjoyed the video wishing you happy holidays
Happy Holidays to you as well!
Stephanie you are a quick learner. I have enjoyed each of your videos so relaxing to watch you have a great order for setting up camp. Beautiful fall (winter) colors and view. One item I use for camping is a wet towel (stores wet in a plastic tube I used them when packing small on motorcycle touring). It’s a kind of chami sometimes found in automotive area at Walmart. Dries me better than cotton towels no wet towel hanging & it wipes shower dry. I am sure your Christmas with family was wonderful it a few days until new years eavppve and a new year of Stephanie and her Free Spirit. May I add a positive thought… Let the beauty of nature fill your soul. Thanks for a great end to your 2023 videos. See you next year.
I love this comment! Thank you so much for the suggestion and positive thought! ☀️
Stephanie I am a first time viewer. Awesome videos, to improve battery connection, applying dielectric grease between the battery post and terminals.. Will prevent voltage drops and displace moisture. Safe travels Happy New Year!!!
Thank you for the tip and Happy New Year! 🎉
Awesome trailer. Happy New Year.
Thank you, I love it ☀️
The hose snake is a must since you never know how the grade will be at various sites. PS. A/c and heat will be loud until you switch to a camper that has ducted heat vents and A/C vents. Enjoy your trips!
Thank you for the information ☀️
@@lifewithstephanie42 Hes dead on. I have a 19 foot e pro but different layout. I run a small electric heater because the furnace not only sounds like you are in a jet, theres two temps, freezing or sweating to death. This last hot summer i also gave up on the AC and embraced the heat. You simply will go insane at the volume of the AC.
I honestly wish mine had the cheap window unit sawed into the side, the roof unit is insanely loud. It shakes the camper when it kicks on lol.
@@shmodzillaThat is my biggest complaint is how loud the AC and heater is! You’re right, it will make a person go insane
Great sight!
Thank you!
I love my little Flagstaff e pro 15tb. Only had it 9mos. and went camping in 6 times. Did some modifications like the sink faucet with a drop-down sprayer, a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth color thermostat and a soft start for my AC unit. I also added a 1500 W space heater to run off of electric instead of running the camper heater using up the propane, it did a good job heating up the camper. I would say my favorite place to camp is near a beach, Fort Pickens State Park and Pensacola Beach FL is awesome as well as the silver slipper RV park in Waveland Mississippi. I think my next modification is going to be another 200 W solar panel on top and swapping out to lithium batteries and a higher wattage power inverter.
Wow, thank you for the information on the modifications! And the your favorite places to visit! I’ll put them on my list. Does the soft start on the AC make it quieter?
Adding a soft start in the spring
I believe those bars that connect to your hitch and trailer are weight distribution bars, not sway bars. Unless it’s a new style I’m not familiar with.
You are correct 👍 I’ve been calling them sway bars this whole time lol, it’s easier to say and they do help with swaying of the trailer. Thank you for the correction!
@@lifewithstephanie42 it’s all good. I hate being one of those know it all people, but just wanted to make sure you knew that there was a difference. Anyhow, I just subscribed to your channel and am enjoying your videos.
@@pnwoutdoorlife2720 Thank you so much, I encourage all information! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos, Thank you for subscribing!
An oil changing wrench might fit the dump caps. A too tight of cap would have left me
1 thing to know is never leave the power cord coiled up the more things you use inside the camper the hotter the cord gets just zigzag it and try to keep it under the camper and out of the sun.
Ok good to know! Thank you ☀️
@@lifewithstephanie42 your welcome
❤❤
I love your videos, Stephanie! I am a single lady, too, and am planning to get my first camper in 2024. I am learning a lot through your videos and appreciate that you show every step of your setup process. Others tend to skip those important details or just talk about them without demonstrating. The view from this campsite is stunning! Enjoy it, and thanks for sharing your journey!
I am so happy that you are learning through my videos! Thank you for the feedback!
Instead of storing your hitch lock 'in back', if you put it back on the hitch once you are unhooked it can help deter theft of your trailer, as anyone who wants to hook up to your trailer will have to deal with the lock before they can get it hooked up.
Thank you for that advice! I have a heavy duty proven industries lock I put on the trailer! Link in the description if you want to know exactly which one I use ☀️
👍❤️❤️❤️👍
Buy a small wattage (400/800) electric heater . It will heat well in your small trailer and not stress your electrical system.
I am definitely going to do that 👍 thank you for the suggestion!
Wait, you said married son and his wife? You don't look old enough to kids that old. Great video. Beautiful views.
Yeah, I get that a lot, thank you for the feedback!
If there is a danger of freezing, fill your tank then disconnect the water and lay the hose downhill and let it drain out. I would also let people know the costs for the campsites.
You might even use a small electric heater that would save you on propane when you have hookups.
A small fan might also help to dry the shower area.
Great information! Thank you 👍
my epro is different but the tank feed line freezes instantly. with a heated hose and my small heater i use on ,placed in the bathroom it's freezeproof. Honestly its not a winter model, i think it was just pure luck.
Hey Stephanie. Does your Tundra have the V-6 turbo?? Mine is a 2021 with the 5.7 V-8. (Curious if you're happy with it). Just found your channel. Great job! (I have a 30-foot Wildwood with the same sway bars).
Thank you ☀️ Yes, It does have the v-6 Twin Turbo! I love it!
@@lifewithstephanie42 Glad to hear that! Plenty of power for the size of your RV. VERY smart for getting a Toyota. 👍Thanks for your work out here, Stephanie. Your channel will grow. Trust me. 😉 And thanks for not begging for subscribers and likes, etc. (its annoying) Right??
I don’t think you need Sway bars on a small trailer. I didn’t have them and it drove perfectly. Try it and see. Sister lol
most people still say sway bars but theyre torsion bars to pull the weight up offf the back of vehicles. I still cant believe it works, doesnt seem logical. I dont use them but i have 1500 ram and you cant even feel the camper behind it. In fact i have to remind myself.
Thank you for sharing! The bars make a big difference. I barely feel the trailer behind me. I definitely feel the difference when it’s windy. I use them on long trips, and if I’m not going far I don’t use them.
Never handle live electrical cords if you can avoid it. Cable in and then turn the circuit breaker on.
Yes, you are doing good with the surge protect test first. Power it off, cable in and then power in.
Ok 👍 will do! Thank you so much!
Those heaters and AC do sound like a freight train, Why would they use them?
Right!
Can I ask what type sway bar and hitch you use?? Thanks
Here is a link Curt Weight Distribution Hitch amzn.to/49178Ui Also, I talk more about it in my how to hitch and unhitch a trailer video here ruclips.net/video/In-r6tvgdNw/видео.html, I hope this helps!
@@lifewithstephanie42 Thanks again. I’ll watch the video😊
@@lawlibrarian44 of course! I hope it helps:)
