Great stuff. Good intro Jason! One thing that caught my attention, was leaving the gray tank dump valve open. Unless you have a washing machine or taking 20 min showers, I recommend leaving it closed. Ever had to unplug a bathroom or kitchen sink drain pipe or trap? The same solids that you will find there will collect on the bottom of your gray tank. The design of the black and gray (holding) tanks have fairly flat bottoms, leaving the valves open will leave the solids behind and just drain off the water. That's just me, a nerdy engineer. Safe Travels!
The Casual RV'er Hey John, funny you mention gray tank we have since making the video which was several weeks ago started closing gray, because of sewer flies lol. We have eradicated the problem but it was annoying so now gray closed unless shower which I do sometimes take 20 min showers with the Truma!! Thanks for checking it out.
Very good informative video for Nrw RV'ers. We were flying by the seat of our pants. When we first started. Lol. Didn't have RUclips back then. Good job!
Ok, now I see who keeps you two in line around there. Thank goodness for Jason. There's no telling what trouble MJ would get into especially since we don't really know what her job is anyway. 😜 Thanks for showing your process, Izzy AND MJ! Your work is greatly appreciated. Troy
Matt's RV Reviews thanks Matt! Hope all is well down in sunny Florida as we are enjoying 20 degree temps at night. 😩 Thanks for checking out the new vid. 👍 - MJ
Great video! Thank you for showing this video again. I have not seen this one. Love how you show how to hook all hoses up. Great job! MJ great job filming. Thank you for the video. Glad you went slow to show how it is done. Have a great night. Love you guys! 💕🤗
Just found your site....just in time for my first mini trip to our local campground to test the waters of my "new to me" Winnebago. This video was the most helpful of all the videos and manuals I have studied. Thank you! (ex-Jersey girl looking forward to someday making it to that Cape May KOA)
Thanks for the feedback. The Truma is the real deal. We did another video on the Truma where we interview Billy from Truma. Good info on that video if you want to check it out. Izzy
You guys rock! We just purchased a 2019 3722 Canyon Star and took your advise upgrading to led headlights! Also purchase a Progressive surge protector! Keep up the great videos! Greetings from sunny California!
Hey Rob Congrats on the Canyon Star. Please share some pics. Awesome rig. How do you like the LED headlights? For us it was a big difference. Good choice on the Progressive. Make sure you lock that thing at camp! Thanks for watching the video and for subscribing. Izzy
Thanks Izzy! We purchased the unit in AZ this past weekend and drove it back home to California. We asked the dealer to install led lights before we picked up the coach. A $220.00 upgrade. Adding the led lights made a HUGE difference! Thanks to you! As the desert highways aka interstate 10, is pitch black at night. The new led lights lit up road in front of us and all around us perfectly. Nice and bright! It's also a safety feature and I'm very surprised Newmar does not use led front lights as a standard option. Plus the led lights look great during the day time as well. I'll be happy to send you some pics just not sure how to upload pics to your channel.
Rob Bennett yes the LED’s are huge and they should be standard. We may do an LED front Light-bar in the future that will really “light things up.” You can send pics to endlessrving@gmail.com. We will share them on our livestream tonight and give you a shout out.
Plant Based Homestead Prepper thanks so much for watching! Great seeing you in the live streams tonight. Izzy will love your editing compliment. Thanks again. 😀 - MJ
Things are a bit different for a Newmar diesel pusher. The instruction say to put out the slides while at ride height before leveling with jacks. The first thing I do is plug in the Progressive surge guard to check power. That way if there's a problem I can easily move. I was taught to leave the grey valve closed so, when you dump the black, you can use the grey water to wash out the hose.
Hey Roy, yes the leveling procedure is different for us. It’s level first then slides out. Breakdown slides in jacks up. Actually we do close the gray the night before we leave to build up water for black dump. We have a breakdown video coming out where we show dumping black and then grey. As always thanks for the feedback. Izzy
@@EndlessRVing The manual for the Bay Star actually says put out the slides before the leaving jacks. It's the same wording that is in the manuals for the other models. I always level first since it makes more sense to me.
Steve Alexander yes you are correct Steve. I actually had to speak to Newmar about this. Their response was for the model I have level first then slides out. It depends on what model coach you have. Thanks for watching the video and the feedback. Izzy
Thank you. We got better because of all the mistakes we have made!! Hopefully we can save someone time, money and frustration. Thanks for watching and the comment. Izzy
You can also do when leaving however if you want to take long showers you will need to have sewer hose on and gray tank open. Thanks for watching and the comment. Izzy
Im really confused about one issue. You went around "unlocking" all of the slides! I never heard of such a thing! Please explain! Is this just because of the brand?
The slide locks depends on your coach. On Newmar gas coaches there are manual slide locks. Basically on Newmar there are steel gears at the bottom of the slides that open and close the slide. When the slides are closed the gear is holding the bottom of the slide closed, however the top of the slide there is no gears therefore there are manual slide locks that you put into the locked position when slides are closed. This allows the slides to be locked tightly shut when traveling or in storage. On Newmar DP’s there are automatic slide locks but that is why you pay the big bucks lol. Hope that makes sense.

And those are the mistakes you will never make again lol

I’m dumb. I just saw that you had them. Lol
NP
Love your video! Thank you for the tips!
One question though... doesn’t your beautiful, expensive class A motor home have auto leveling jacks?
Thanks for watching and the comment
Newbie question. Why would you hook up hose at setup? I thought you did that when you're leaving. So the sewer hose stays like that the whole time?
You can also do when leaving however if you want to take long showers you will need to have sewer hose on and gray tank open.
Thanks for watching and the comment.

@@EndlessRVing gotcha thanks!!
