Propane tanks! Yes! We actually just made a video touching on this as well! This is so important and so often overlooked until you go to try to fill up your propane annnnnnnddddd you can't. Whoops! Thanks for sharing, Rich! Great video!
Excellent information and right to the point presentation! First vid of yours I've seen and look forward to viewing more as a subscriber.
Thanks and I do hope you like our future videos too.
Thanks Rich!
Love my tire change kit from AS Life!
Love the video Rich! I'm off to buy that fire extinguisher at your store!
One surprising addition to the list: depending on the type of chocks/leveling blocks you use, they might have a "replace-by" date. The plastic takes a beating from UV and they become dyed out and brittle.
Great video. I'll be having a closer look at my two fire extinguishers now; those weren't on my list. Replacing the breakaway switch was a surprise to me. Each year before the season starts, I pull the pin, spray in some contact cleaner, cycle the switch a few times, spray the pin with some light oil, and reinstall. Then on the first tow, before we leave the area, I pull the pin and confirm that the brakes are locked by trying to move the Airstream. That procedure has served me well for the eight years we owned our previous Airstream and six so far on our current 2014 model.
FYI for you dog owners - was told by local Lazydays the propane sector can be set off by dry dog food being stored near by. Not sure why that is but seems the orders emitted from the dog food can cause the propane detector to go off.
I've heard that but never tested the theory myself. I wonder if it's just an urban legend. But I do know that output from the dog himself can set off the propane detector!
What water filter did you show & where can I get one?
It's a very common Camco filter, available at Camping World, Wal-Mart, RV dealers, Amazon, and lots of other places. It is an inexpensive and simple charcoal filter, which works well to filter out "chunkies" like sand while improving the taste of the water.
I’ve always found the date of manufacture code on the outside of my tires.
I misspoke in the video when I said "It's printed on the inside of the tire." I meant to say "ONE SIDE of the tire".
Obviously it can be on the inside or the outside depending on how the tire is mounted. But in my experience Murphy's Law means that it is usually on the inside where it's harder to get to!
@@airgear based on a little research any tire produced after the year 2000 "the date of manufacture of tires is to be placed on the outside of the tire". Therefore if you need to look at the inside of the tire it's probably a little too old.
