You guys are awesome. Always great and helpful content. I’ve learned so much. I wish I could give this video five stars. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I recommend Michigan’s west coast. Lots of parks along Lake Michigan the water is like the Caribbean except colder ! I just noticed you haven’t been there yet. .
RV's use regular PEX plumbing which is the exact same thing that most homes are plumbed with. Before PEX RV's were plumbed with grey poly pipe, also the same exact plumbing that was used in houses.
Question for you. How many times have you replaced your surge protector? How many times have you found the pedestal receptacle was incorrect? Enjoyed the do not do with the slinky!
We haven’t replaced the surge protector yet as we’ve only had it for a year. However, they say you should replace them every 3-5 years. We have a progressive industries surge protector that has a lifetime guarantee. I’ve found the polarity to be off so far on 2 receptacles so far. Thanks for watching!
@@GratefulGlamper Your suppressor has an indication on it that tells you that the MOV has met end of life. Could not find from the literature what the indication is but best guess is the green LED. No green, no suppression. It also has a lifetime warranty! So, you have not had enough surges to end the MOV’s life yet. I did some research and found that reverse polarity may not be the parks receptacle being wired incorrectly. It can be caused by someone else’s RV being wired wrong and plugged in. Interesting! Respectfully, Kevin
Thank you, Ben and Charity, for these tips! We went from a teardrop camper to our new Minnie Winnie so we are "newbies" who need all the help we can get! Thanks so much for the videos!
It was a brand new hose, lol. We also wish we had this, which is why we created the video :) Glad you feel it’s a helpful resource for RV newbies and hopeful everyone can learn something.

We’ve been following your videos for sometime now and you have inspired us. We have started off on the road now ourselves. We decided to do a “coming out” first video. We hope to run into you at some point along the way.
I enjoy watching you guys. I prefer the actual traveling and exploring videos.. But all in all you guys are fun to watch. I just wanted to correct one of your tips. Water piping. The water piping in most newer rvs is pex, pex is installed in houses, apartments, commercial facilities etc. We test pex up to 135psi. And newer houses still have copper piping. I prefer copper Over all other domestic water piping systems. If you have higher water pressure in your RV you don't have to worry about bursting a line or a fitting, you might roll a gasket or damage a seat in the fixtures (bath / kitchen faucet, shower valve ect). But that will just be an annoying drip when hooked up to city pressure.. The end was hilarious! Loved the eating out of the hose!! I'm looking forward to watching your new videos.! .
Great job. Another VERY important tip is to turn off your AC unit before you unplug it from the shore power. Loved the jump rope and frogs. lol. Happy camping.
Oh YES! That is a very important one :) Thanks for mentioning that and for watching. Glad you liked the ending and now know how NOT to use a sewer hose ;)
Quick and too the point. Thank you.Loved the frog, found mine sitting on the cable tv jack one morning. He wanted to stay must have been a good program.
Very good tips! That is a great idea about putting your height and length on the inside of your vehicle that way you are always prepared. Very good jump roping skills! We laughed and laughed at the frog seen! Thanks for sharing! ~ Shion and Matthew
Our general rule of thumb is if you aren’t outside underneath them, they go in. Although ours have wind sensors, we don’t really trust them. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching
Do camp grounds charge you for water and electricity or is in in the per day rental fee? What happened might I ask with the black valve ...glad to see that was chocolate :-)
It’s all included in the nightly rate. We learned the hard way that if you don’t keep your black tank closed until it fills up a bit, you are left with a dried up poo pyramid 💩 Not fun! Yep, just chocolate, lol. Thanks for watching!
This was such a wonderful video. I’m confused. The very first video I watched of yours was you moving to Florida. But then there were a whole mess of travel videos after that? Did you leave Florida or is it just back videos you’re editing and putting out?
We are always a little behind on content. We did complete the move to Florida but also travel as we can and we will have more Florida videos coming soon.
@@GratefulGlamper Well I know your daughters name is Trinity. So I’m assuming you’re Christians? I am also going to be traveling in an RV like I told you but moving to Florida. Have you started to go to church in Florida yet? What has that experience been like if you have.
@@GratefulGlamper Great to know! I wanted to find out what your denomination was before I gave you information. 😂 You know I’m not sure if you’re aware of this or not. But the Lord is calling Christians to move to Florida. I know He has been talking to me about it for the last few years. So I’m praying and trying to figure out how to make the move. Also what part of Florida? I do believe it is the Cocoa Beach/Melbourne area there where I’m supposed to go? I am a married wife and my husband‘s work is all in the very tip of South Carolina. God hasn’t told him to move so... I don’t want to say he does not not believe me because he does. But it’s not as simple as it would be if we were both being told. Or if he being the man was being told. You know what I’m saying. But there’s not huge problems. I see the Lord making a way for us to get down there. In the interim I’m going to start going down once a month for like four days at a time. My husband is a good husband and he has no problems with that whatsoever. So I’m going to go down and just start to figure out what we might be able to do??? If it is the right place what’s going on???? Start to at least collect the Intel.

Good to know!
Newbie question. Do you need a surge protector owhen your hooked up to your inverter generator?
Not when you are on Generator power, just when hooked up to shore power (Campground power).
Question for you. How many times have you replaced your surge protector? How many times have you found the pedestal receptacle was incorrect?
Enjoyed the do not do with the slinky!

“RV Geeks” say change tires every 5-7 years. FMCA has good discounts on new tires according to “RV Love” et al.
👍🏻👍🏻 6-10 years according to NHSTA one.nhtsa.gov/nhtsa/Safety1nNum3ers/june2013/9719_images/9719_S1N_Tires_Nwsltr_June13_062713_v4_tag.pdf

Such a great list. We did the same thing of just going on Amazon and order all sorts of things that we didn't end up needing later on.
It happens to many of us.
We’ve been following your videos for sometime now and you have inspired us. We have started off on the road now ourselves. We decided to do a “coming out” first video. We hope to run into you at some point along the way.
It would be fun to connect on the road.
Great presentation!
Thanks!

All Great advice, although you say to change your tires every 10 years, I had heard every 6 years.
All great info 👍
Thanks for watching! Hopefully you saw the end and learned how not to use a sewer hose ;)
Great tips you guys! Love the sewer hose bit! LOL
Lol, glad you stayed until the most important tip! Thanks for watching :)
Quick and too the point. Thank you.Loved the frog, found mine sitting on the cable tv jack one morning. He wanted to stay must have been a good program.
That’s funny. They are stubborn little frogs! Thanks for watching :)

nice video
stay safe guys..heavy stuff gonna happen down there in the next 72 hrs..love from nova scotia canada
Really..What is going to happen?
@@GratefulGlamper pretty sure all the troops and fencing in dc has something to do with it
Question on your awnings, do you bring them in at night time when your asleep? Thank you for your RV tips'
Our general rule of thumb is if you aren’t outside underneath them, they go in. Although ours have wind sensors, we don’t really trust them. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching
