Hi Everyone, We hope you enjoyed our video! What did you think of our favorite outdoor gear? Do you have a favorite outdoor gear not mentioned in the video? Please say hello by leaving a comment below and sharing you opinion about awesome outdoor camping gear!
Hi Mike & Susan, Being a Retired Firefighter I have come across video's from my friend in NYC in regards to E-bike battery fires, when overcharged the batteries can explode and what people don't realize is when they charge the batteries at night if they explode during the night it causes a huge fire that traps people. I recently watched a interview with the Fire Commissioner Joan Cavanaugh from FDNY and she explained how many fires they have responded to that were e-bike related. Just a FYI for everyone.
Thank you for bringing attention to this matter. There have been fire issues when it comes to charging the batteries of electric "vehicles". We first saw this happen with the hover boards when they came out. I think we are so used to plugging something in to recharge and leaving it. And unfortunately it is too easy to purchase "knock off" accessories that are not UL certified. Not sure what the solution is but we have to keep this in mind - don't leave recharging batteries unattended and make sure it's certified safe. Thank you!
I would never say I "waste" time watching your videos, but I do squander time in the morning when I should be getting ready for work watching RV Blogger videos because I learn so much😀
Another huge benefit of a gas fire pit is they can used during fire bans. Here in BC 🇨🇦 so much of the summer and even early fall there are campfire bans.
I have the table and matching chairs, got them at Harbor Freight back in '19 with a mess of 20% coupons and paid $20 for each piece, one table and I think 8 chairs. Only use 2 chairs at a time, the rest are in storage. Perfect height and they're comfortable, nice swing-up side table too. Can't go wrong for $20!
That's awesome! I didn't even know about the chairs. Thank you so much for sharing that information! And thanks for watching our favorite outdoor gear video and commenting!
Great upload folks, very well done. Great live action and work in post, you work has excelled over time. This was a fun change of pace for the Channel and informative
Thank you so much for the kind words. I enjoy getting a little more creative when we do videos outside of the tours. Thank you always for your support!
I'm a simple Class C owner and spent the money for the Viair and it's great; however, I keep it inside my rig for safe keeping. Great accessory ideas too!
So glad you love your Viair! It has definitely come in handy over the last 2 years. Wish we had bought it sooner! Thank you for watching our outdoor RV gear video and commenting.
Two of the best camping foods! Glad you're loving your propane firepit too! Thank you for watching our favorite outdoor camping gear video and commenting.
I have the Weber-Q 2200 and love it. The Griddle option on the Q is a great addition if you don’t have one. Also the 1200 does have available rotisserie options (the 2200 rotisserie is only available over-seas).
Great video. I was close to buying a Weber grill and You have convinced me. I think there is a half grill plate you can get. Viair is fantastic and I never thought about a blow gun or running a small nailer. Winterizing seems like a good accessory but I am concerned about the air flow. To blow out lines well, you really want good airflow to clear out all the water. But as a portable compressor, this kit has everything you need. Not cheap but an excellent value.
Hi Paul, Do you mean the the Weber has a griddle plate? We looked but we can't find one. Please let me know if you know where we can find it. Thanks for watching the video and for commenting! Mike
Some super great gear ideas and very clear and concise explanation. Be assured, some of these are on MY gotta-get list (hope Santa's listening)! Y'all Be Safe!
Thank you so much! I enjoy being a little creative when we do videos outside of tour videos. Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching our favorite outdoor gear video and commenting!
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed our video. We've put this gear to the test over the last several years and still love them today. Thank you for watching our outdoor RV gear video and commenting.
Hi Mike & Susan, great video! Don't forget to instal your GasStop, it's the only and maximum propane protection safety device on the US Market. Especially with such long propane hoses lying on the ground!
Great information! Thank you! I really like the compact part of the Weber Grill. My husband says that in the morning. He's going to just go " Look" at the compressor & any, if not all attachments New subscribers: Alberta, Canada.💕
That's the best part of a camp fire....but..... You know with propane it's a lot easier and you don't have to worry about the fire burning forever And it's very convenient too
We used to enjoy a wood campfire and kinda still do sometimes. I like the crackle and the smell of the burning wood, but eventually it does becomes a hassle. Occasionally we can have a traditional fire.
Hi Mike I liked the propane firepit so much I picked one up only was wondering if u can provide a Lil more info on making it a low gas pressure hook up I have that quick connect on my class c .thanks great video
Glad you bought one too! I know you will love it. I watched a video by the RV Geeks an how to convert a low pressure system. Here's the link to the video I watched. ruclips.net/video/Kbp4LiOjXbI/видео.htmlsi=msad0l6Ye0yLBnwH The video is about how to convert a grill but it works for the fire pit too. Thanks! Mike
Another valuable and informative episode, so glad I’m subscribed! I’m hoping you can tell me if the propane adapter you featured can be used to run my propane inverter generator from the low pressure line on my RV. I’ve got a Champion 4500 watt dual fuel generator. Like you, I don’t want to carry an extra dedicated tank around, when I have the built in propane line available. Unfortunately, the adapter I use to run my grill doesn’t work. The male quick release has a different length tip than the one Champion provides with the built in regulator. I talked to a propane supply store about an adapter, but was told there is no way to run a generator from the line on the RV. It reduces the pressure, but does not supply the volume of propane the generator needs. I found this hard to believe. I’m hoping you can recommend a solution. Thank you, and keep producing great content like this!
Hi Burt, I have never tried to run a generator from my onboard low pressure RV propane tank but I am pretty sure that your RV propane tank will not supply enough propane to run the generator. There isn't even enough pressure to power most grills. Only certain grills or fire pits are adaptable. Most are not. Glad you liked the video and thanks for being a subscriber! Mike
Really like your videos. We just bought a new Class C RV and you mentioned in the video the window coverings on you Class C what company did you use. Thank You
I am guessing you mean the front windshield cover? If so here is the one we bought but you have to find the correct one for your year and model chassis. For example, our Class C was built on a 2008 Ford E-350 chassis. Here's the link to where we bought ours: goto.rvblogger.com/Mesh-Windshield-Cover Hope this helps! Mike
I’m not sure you would want grease from steaks or burgers getting on your stones. I don’t own one, but I’m thinking a grill and a propane fire pit would be built differently. Watch him correct me, LOL!
That's a great question. You definitely can't cook on the lid of the fire pit. It's designed as a cover only to protect the rocks during transportation. But to be honest I don't think you should cook over the propane rocks either, but that might just be my opinion.
Hi Nathan. Great question. Only two of the products in our video are affiliates of ours (with no out of pocket purchase) and that would be RV SnapPads and our Blue Ox tow bar. We have been using both since we purchased our motorhome, almost two years now. We also did individual videos about each of them, which as you would imagine was part of the agreement. But two years later we still love them and highly recommend. Thank you for watching our outdoor RV gear video and commenting.
We have been collecting our favorite outdoor RV gear items over the last 5 years of RV life, just like I'm sure you have a few luxury items at your home. We make sacrifices and budget so we can purchase items that we can enjoy or make our life in our RV safe. Thank you for watching our outdoor RV gear video and commenting.
Yes it is true that you are not supposed to have your propane turned ON while in a tunnel. There could be tunnels that do forbid it but we haven't encountered one yet. Thank you for watching our favorite outdoor gear video and commenting!
Hi Cindy. Thanks for asking. The list of our items are included in the description of the video. You can find it if you are watching our video on a phone or computer. Most of the items can be found on Amazon, some were purchased directly through the retailer, like RV Snappads. Please feel free to ask any questions. Thank you for watching our favorite outdoor RV gear video and commenting.
We have heard of portable laundry machines for RVs but haven't used any to be able to promote. Most campgrounds do have a laundry facility or there is even the neighborhood laundromat if you prefer that. Sorry we aren't more helpful.
We like a real fire too but we hate smelling like fire at the end of the night. So the propane is perfect for us.

Wouldn't be Sunday night without you! I'm in a Class B and I have my eye on that folding table, very storable! 😊👍
❤️ Thank you Britt! We have been super happy with our table, so much we have 2 🤣!

No worries about floating hot embers either! That is always a concern when you are out in the boonies!
We used to enjoy a wood campfire and kinda still do sometimes. I like the crackle and the smell of the burning wood, but eventually it does becomes a hassle. Occasionally we can have a traditional fire.
True @Erin-Thor. Always worry a bit about a gust of wind too.

I purchased a fire pit due to a burn ban in Colorado, they allowed propane pits.
That's great...(not that you HAD to buy one). How are you liking it? Thank you for watching our favorite outdoor camping gear video and commenting.
@@RVBlogger We really like it…never have to wait for coals to die out nor do we smell like smoke. 🤪

very informative, are all products mentioned sponsors (product supplied)?

I heard another RVer say that there are tunnels you can't go thru if you have propane on board....have you ever heard of this?😊

Can you show us any ideas on washing laundry?
We have heard of portable laundry machines for RVs but haven't used any to be able to promote. Most campgrounds do have a laundry facility or there is even the neighborhood laundromat if you prefer that. Sorry we aren't more helpful.
See I like my propane fire pit but I only use mine if I can’t have a normal fire a real fire is always more enjoyable

If I’m the first commenter do I win a free RV or maybe a t-shirt? 😂
🤣 I wish I had some cool shirts to send you...am I working on it though! Thanks so much for your support Erin!
@@RVBlogger- No worries, just joking. Great info here, thanks! Thanks too for the links! The awning cover is on my shopping list now!
I thought you probably were 🤣. But we really are thinking out shirt designs. We love that awning screen, it makes such a difference!
