I am a truck driver, and I would like to add to the term GOAL, Get out and look. WATER, walk around the entire rig. Looking on both sides of the rig, including above and below, will ensure that you have no obstruction anywhere before backing into a site or any other backing maneuver you have to perform.
We do the walk around and walk through of the camper before we move it. I take a look, my wife takes a look and even our 9yo looks. My wife knows how to setup and take down the whole thing and my 9yo is learning. The 3 of us all make sure everything is picked up and secure. So my tip is don't be the only one looking around show your family and friends the things to check for just in case you overlook something. Hope this helps.
Thanks for being clear and detailed. I appreciate you not wasting my time with, "good ol' boy," hokey humor. I'm here for information only, not bland entertainment. I bought a used Keystone RV. These videos helps to make sense of the RV owner's manual and provides more needed maintenance info and suggestions than I was able to get from my original research. Thanks for speaking to me as though we're not all on our 3rd beer.
Great info. My wife and I full-time and we each have our own checklists and walk around to check each other for anything missed. I once missed the weather station on the roof and she caught it... I once caught a cargo door not locked... gotta be safe out there!
There's a quick and easy way to check your lights, even if you're solo. Connect trailer Turn on tow vehicle Turn on headlights Activate emergency flashers This activates all of the lights at the same time so you only have to get out and check once for trip.
Thanks for what you guys do and understand what you are trying to show. We have a 20 year old Winnebago Suncruser, if a campground owner needs photos we will gladly show our pride and joy .
Another benefit of gray black gray is you get the line wet and the black will flow smoother great idea. I don’t know. I’ll always make my share mistakes, but I’m the guy without a single written checklist. I just want to have everything in the head.
Great tips, Ross! I keep a 5 ton pump jack in the truck. Helpful in so many ways in case of failures (tongue jack, stabilizers, flat tires) and easier to store and use than standard scissors jacks.
Electric heaters are a great idea! We decided an oil filled radiator type heater was best for us (noiseless operation) - but do make sure your circuit can handle the load. I't discouraged to use multiple outlet surge protectors as extensions. Use n extension cord rated for the amperage of the appliance if you must use an extension cord. Prevent those fires!!! Our heater has three wattage settings so we can balance comfort with our electrical need. Be safe. Be warm. Don't be on the news at 5 - great tips @RvTips & Travels!!
Another excellent video in collaboration with Josh. You guys hit a home run with this. Great video not only for newbies, but also for “seasoned “ RV travelers. Two of my favorite channels working together for two very useful videos. Keep up the good work gentlemen! Thanks!
I definitely appreciate these videos. I just bought my first travel trailer & trying to learn as much as I can before my first trip. I’m a little nervous because there is so much involved but really excited about learning & traveling more.
Before backing into a site, I walk the site to check the layout. I have a fold-up traffic cone that I set up at the slide-out’s width from the power or water pole. I’ll use the traffic cone as the aligning point for backing in. That way, I’m sure of having enough room to open the slide out. I have had some sites where the power pole is right on the edge, and this requires the opposite side to be off the pad. The traffic cone really earns its keep in those situations.
Awesome list. I'm about to be a 1st time RVer and I'm jumping full force into full time RV-life. The linked videos have been invaluable to ensure peace of mind for when I start this new phase of life. Cheers. 🫡
When I'm walking to pick up my chocks I check the lights on the walk around. I also check that all hatches and covers are secured, and everything else is stowed or closed.
Excellent video! There is much to be said about the gray/black/gray method. We had our shakedown trip just this past weekend and I had the hose only half on. The gray water went everywhere when I tested the connections. Could have been alot worse!! Love these types of tips.
You opened with the fresh water tank. I'm full time in my 5th wheel on my lot in the woods and keep the fresh water tank full at all times due to power outages, no power no well. I do have a 9800 watt generator so I can access my water pump and turn it to "dry camping" I do drain the tank a couple of times a year but is there more I should be doing? Should I be doing something to keep the inside of the 65 gallon fresh water tank clean? Thanks.
thats a good question, and honestly, this might be a good question for a chemist, or someone with fresh water tank expertise... if that makes sense. There are a lot of factors to consider when using water that has been stored in tanks for long periods of time: how long, temperature, is the water being cycled or sitting, etc... something i am not ashamed to admit I cant speak to without doing some research, but hopefully someone with that experience here can help.
Great video, awesome you guys collaborated on these videos. I'm a newbee just started last year and have followed and learned ALOT from you both. keep up the great content.
on my gray and black tank handles, every few months i put some 3-1 oil on them to help and maintain the valves, just a habit of mine and I've had the same valves for 17 years
When the power tongue jack on my little 13 1/2’ 10 foot habitat over landing trailer failed even the manual tool was useless because it jammed up all the gears in the motor and wouldn’t go up or down. Luckily the trailer was enough. I was able to pick it up put it on and go buy a manual jack.
Regarding the water hose quick disconnects - beware that if you use brass disconnects on an aluminum hose end (most), you will have galvanic corrosion that if not caught early enough will essentiailly fuse the two together making it almost impossible to seperate. I'm not sure how stainless reacts to aluminum, or brass to stainless. One option is to coat the connections with corrosion inhibitors, but that'll have to be applied somewhat often. I think the safest thing to do is get the disconnects in the same metal as your hose ends.
i have personally never had an issue with losing hot water with a 6 gallon tank. ive spoken diretly to hundreds of people about tank vs tankless and the majority of them also dont have issues with hot water. I think the tankless water heater is overrated, but that is just my opinion and based on my usage and experience with tank heaters. i like being able to use electric as well, which is not an option on tankless.
On demand water heaters can be a bit tricky, especially if you are traveling and don't know the water conditions for the area that you are going into. In some areas, the water is hard enough to eat through the normal copper lines that are used for those (according to the plumber I spoke to while I still owned a house). Backing up @RVTipsandTravels, they are a propane only system, and will probably eat propane like crazy, especially if there are more than one or two people in the rig.
i use the Haloview dash cam. works off the same screen as the back up cameras, and its mounted to my truck windsheild all the time, so I use that to record all the time, towing or not. here is my system: www.haloview.com/byte-tango-bt7-touch-1080p-wireless-backup-camera-system-with-touch-screen.html?acc=765 here is the add on dash cam: www.haloview.com/btc131-byte-tango-1080p-hd-wireless-dashcam.html?acc=765 use coupon code RVTIPS and get 5% off at check out.
I just found this video and it has a ton of great information! At the very end of this video, you close your door, was the handle on the screen door already on there or did you add it? If you added it, where did you get it! This is one of my biggest complaints with RV doors!
Just a note on the propane/absorption fridges. The flame is not shielded from the wind while you are driving, and it is possible that the flame can be extinguished during travel, or be pushed outside the burn tube. Additionally, if you have a blowout while your propane is on, the blown off tread often (usually) goes up into the body of the rig. If this happens on the fridge side of the rig, it could damage or cut the propane line and result in a fire and/or an explosion.
do you have a complete listing of the items on that check list that you showed at the tail end of the video? I got a couple of screen shots but felt that there might have been more on the list. it looked very helpful for the items that I saw. thanks.
I would like to know where you can get the hooks that hold those tools on the cargo space wall in this video. I have looked everywhere and cannot find them.
1 thing I do that is not mentioned is I have tape marks on my broom handle stored in the front compartment. the tape mark represents how far the slide out comes out. You don't want to level and unhook and start setting up and find out the slide can't open all the way because of the power post or tree branch encroaching the slide out space. so I just hold the handle against the RV at the front and the back and make sure to look up for tree branches.
On the quick disconnects...I use them and like them. Be sure to use faucet lube on the male end. Lube the rubber seal and balls on the internal mating coupler. This keeps the seals from leaking and delays corrosion. This product is SOLD at any hardware store in the plumbing dept. Happy motoring/camping !
Ross we need know if vents should be open in winter or closed. We love in VA. We have the vovers on roof so no rain comes in. We are confused and trying fight mold during summer. What temp keep air condition on prevent mold in summer? We have a dehumidifier and damprid inside. Just need know keep vents open or closed during storage. See no video yours addressing mold and vent.
I dont know what the correct answer is as far as the science goes, but i keep all my vents closed during winter. Im not an expert on mold growth, but I've never had any issues with mold by keeping the vents closed during the winter. Are you getting mold now while using the Damprid? I heard that stuff works great.
Karen, I used this. its not a perfect match, but close. amzn.to/3XlDTbu This is another product that I have used as well for touch ups when i ran out of the Mixwax: amzn.to/3KDIK0p
I have not, and to be honest, i have never run out of water with a tank heater. another thing to consider is that you will not have an electric option, so you will be using propane, even when connected to electric, to heat water.
When hooking up the safety chains to the links of the vehicle hitch area, direct the beaks of the hooks upwards. Hook them up from under the links, not over the top of the links.
One thing I've carried in our various trailers for over 25 years, and have never had to use it, is a 12 volt battery charger and heavy duty extension cord. If your converter goes out, you won't have any 12 volt lights. Connect charger to 12 volt battery and plug into shore power 120 volts on pedestal. This will give you power for your 12 volt lights and other equipment. Better to have it and not need it, than the other way. This is an inexpensive item, and it doesn't require much storage room. Safe travels!
IN MY EXPERIENCE THE FRIDGE WILL KEEP FOOD COLD AND THE FREEZER FROZEN FOR ABOUT 7 HOURS OF TRAVEL JUST BE SURE THE FRIDGE HAS BEEN ON FOR 3 DAYS BEFORE TURNING IT OFF TO TRAVEL. WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT YOUR DESTINATION 7 HOURS LATER TURN IT BACK ON. GAS OR SHORE POWER DOESN'T MATTER.
would you run the generator to keep the fridge & freezer running while traveling to and from your destination? or just load up your cold items in a cooler with ice? thank you for all the newbies tip videos.
I have never run a generator on my RV. It would depend on the type of generator as well and the set up, there's a lot of variables, but I dont feel its my place to give advice on things Ive never personally done. Sorry I cant help you on this one...
@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS thank you for being honest. I have seen people say both ways for class A of running it and not running. Thank you for responding. Safe travels
I'm on city water and full hookups stationary now for awhile,years...we recently lost water due to break in the line,was without water for 2 days,is it ok to fill fresh water tank and keep it full for long periods in case it happens again without it becoming bad or hurt anything?? Because you never know when or if you'll have a no water issue come about 😊
im not a chemist so I cant speak to how long you should keep water in a tank, but if I were in your situation, I would fill the tank, then a few days later, empty it by using it to shower or clean dishes (so you're not wasting it), then refill. Personally I would probably do this every 3-4 days, again I dont know how long water stays fresh in a tank, but thats what I would do. hope that helps
I had a dealer tell me that the tank sensors (other than the fresh water) are just selling points. That they always get gunked up and fail to be useful within the first few uses. That there are more expensive sealed models but they do not come stock.
i would agree based at least on my experiences. i can get them clean, it usually involves filling the tank after a dump and letting it sit for a few hours, but most of the time i dont even bother with them.
Wait... you can run the park water and your fresh water at the same time? Seems obvious, but I never considered it! Sure would help out when the water is barely trickling out of the shower head. Huh...thanks!
As a female solo camper, I have a near to impossible problem connecting and disconnecting the sewer drain hose. I’m just not strong enough. I purchased a tool that was supposed to make it easier. But it didn’t. I dread having to tackle this step, every time.
still cant believe we can build a nuclear submarine but cant run a AC unit boondocking for a day or two. have researched , only realistic way is inverter generator. 3500w or >. Your vids are awesome i'm brand new to the game. class b plus. you got me up to speed pretty quick, broke it down this way, watched all your videos on water bay, cleaning winteration H20 pumps/propane or electric and H20 heater. then watched all videos around AC and on and on. thanks and thanks for doing as a good faith effort for people like me.
glad to help my friend... on the AC issue, i think it comes down to cost. there are probably ways to cool an rv with less power/better ducting systems, but the cost to do it would raise the cost of an already highly competitive market so nobody is going to be the guniea pig.
you can slow youtube videos down by clicking the gear icon on the screen and changing the speed of the video, down to .75 for example. hope that helps, and thank you for your input!
Hook up a light trailer to a truck that can pull 4 times the trailers weight and see what happens when you forget to remove the cheap rubber chock. Nice black line across the driveway.
Instead of filling our water tanks for travel in our class c.. we just take a gallon of water to flush the toilet when needed on the road. Didn’t need any extra weight with the 7.4 and 30ft of rv.
One thing I see people doing and it's a big no no is never plug the camper into the power pedestal when the 7 prong plug is still connected to the tow vehicle I see people doing that a lot.
i have heard that running a 12 volt power source and a 110 volt power source may cause electrical issues. It is not something I have looked into yet, but it involves a few things that I will probably do some research on and talk about in thenear future.
Here is another point to consider when hooking up your chains, cross them, twist them if they hang down and drag, and snap the hook underhand not overhand to eliminate the chance of something hitting a hook and dislodged.
NEVER EVER EVER TWIST YOUR CHAINS! you are sideloading the links, chains lose a massive amount of strength when twisted. if your chains are too long, cut links off until its the right length. Here is why you dont twist chains: ruclips.net/video/clj42no4DxY/видео.html
this would be better if you would slow down so we can grab onto what in the world you are talking about and how to do what you are trying to instruct on.
thanks for the input Curt, it is appreciated. You can actually slow down RUclips videos by clicking the gear icon on the bottom of the video and slowing down the playback speed if it is too fast paced for you. Hope this helps.
@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS We have really enjoyed and learned so much, we have been campers and RV owners back several years ago, but sold out and now we are starting back. we remember what it was like and how much we enjoyed it but a lot of things have changed also. we thank you for all of your information. Some new and some review to refresh us. Keep going as you are. NOTHING is so simple that we can not learn something new.
that is where many manufacturers and dealers start with recommended replacement. Each person needs to make their own decision or course, and I wont disagree you can easily get more than 3 years out of a tire with little use. There's also other factors like UV damage vs garage kept RV's. A lot of things to consider, but we are always going to refer back to what the manufacture recommends. Ive worked in material handling for years before starting this channel as a manager for a dealership. to protect the customer, the product, and the dealership, using manufacturer specs and recommendations is really the only way to go. I usually keep trailer tires for 5 years before replacing them, but I would also state the manufacturer recommendation in the same sentence. thanks for watching!
Not magic, I washed it in my house kitchen. If you dont have a sticks and bricks house, you can use the pressurized city water instead of the tank while the filter is removed since that runs on a different line. Anything else I can clear up for you?
At what point? The music plays during segment transitions, not during the segments. It’s also playing at a fraction of the voice volume so maybe it’s the device you’re watching on?
@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS I saw your earlier message. As I contemplated a reply it got complicated, especially since it seemed you were itching for a fight... which suspicion is confirmed with this last approach.
lol, not itching for a fight at all... people watch ads that play on the videos and make comments based on what they see in those ads, not realizing they are commenting on the ad itself, not the video. I've also gotten comments from other videos, and I want to make sure there is no confusion with our information. Im just trying to understand where the music was over top of the voices or it was too loud... trying to make sure people learn and enjoy from our videos without distractions, and trying to learn what to do better for the future videos. That's all.

We do the walk around and walk through of the camper before we move it. I take a look, my wife takes a look and even our 9yo looks. My wife knows how to setup and take down the whole thing and my 9yo is learning. The 3 of us all make sure everything is picked up and secure. So my tip is don't be the only one looking around show your family and friends the things to check for just in case you overlook something. Hope this helps.
thats a great point 6 eyes are better than 2, thanks!
I’ve been RVing since 1997. This RUclips channel is among the best.
Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoy!
Thanks! The videos are very helpful.
thank you for the donation Joel, its very much appreciated my friend!
No bullshit drama on this channel, just great videos. Thanks again Ross, and Josh.
glad to help
You're welcome!!
Thanks for being clear and detailed. I appreciate you not wasting my time with, "good ol' boy," hokey humor. I'm here for information only, not bland entertainment. I bought a used Keystone RV. These videos helps to make sense of the RV owner's manual and provides more needed maintenance info and suggestions than I was able to get from my original research. Thanks for speaking to me as though we're not all on our 3rd beer.
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words, glad you’re finding the videos helpful!
Great info. My wife and I full-time and we each have our own checklists and walk around to check each other for anything missed. I once missed the weather station on the roof and she caught it... I once caught a cargo door not locked... gotta be safe out there!
thank you for watching and commenting!
Thanks for these tips. I'm a newbie to a full sized rv and I picked up a lot of good info here.
Awesome, glad you got something out of it!
There's a quick and easy way to check your lights, even if you're solo.
Connect trailer
Turn on tow vehicle
Turn on headlights
Activate emergency flashers
This activates all of the lights at the same time so you only have to get out and check once for trip.
great tip, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for what you guys do and understand what you are trying to show. We have a 20 year old Winnebago Suncruser, if a campground owner needs photos we will gladly show our pride and joy .
our pleasure Peter, glad to help!
Great tips Ross I just de winterized my trailer yesterday and greased the suspension and wheel bearing oh and last weekend 2 hour wash thanks man 👍
2 hour wash, sounds about right! thanks bud!
Gray, black, gray is great advice. I once had a bad connection on a rental RV and it was mucho yucky.
definitely not fun, thanks for watching!
Another benefit of gray black gray is you get the line wet and the black will flow smoother great idea. I don’t know. I’ll always make my share mistakes, but I’m the guy without a single written checklist. I just want to have everything in the head.
Great tips, Ross! I keep a 5 ton pump jack in the truck. Helpful in so many ways in case of failures (tongue jack, stabilizers, flat tires) and easier to store and use than standard scissors jacks.
all good uses, thanks for sharing!
I have owned my Imagine 2600RB 5 years now and did not know about that filter in front of the 12v water pump. Thankyou!
no problem Fred, good to see you again.
It is my first year on My traveler trailer and I use 90 % of your tips !
Thank you!
glad to help!
Another great video, I always look forward to your videos. You do a great job of explaining things.
glad to help my friend
Wow wow wow!! PLEASE ! Keep making videos like these. I will be in the market on getting an RV and videos like these help people like me. Thank you 🙏
Thank you! Will do!
Well done and subscribed to the other channel. Watching that one after dinner!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you so much for just saying what needs to be said. Nice to hear what you need and not all the fluff
hope it helped!
wonderful and outstanding information, no BS. Thanks guys
Our pleasure!
Electric heaters are a great idea! We decided an oil filled radiator type heater was best for us (noiseless operation) - but do make sure your circuit can handle the load. I't discouraged to use multiple outlet surge protectors as extensions. Use n extension cord rated for the amperage of the appliance if you must use an extension cord. Prevent those fires!!! Our heater has three wattage settings so we can balance comfort with our electrical need. Be safe. Be warm. Don't be on the news at 5 - great tips @RvTips & Travels!!
thanks for watching and commenting!
Great info. You reminded me about cleaning my ACs. Ordered 2 cans. Thank you so much for putting this together
no problem my friend.
Great tips and right to the content!
Excellent!
thank you sir
Great tips as usual. I learned a lot of things that I usually gloss over. Thanks again.
good to hear from you again Scott!
Another excellent video in collaboration with Josh. You guys hit a home run with this. Great video not only for newbies, but also for “seasoned “ RV travelers. Two of my favorite channels working together for two very useful videos. Keep up the good work gentlemen! Thanks!
very much appreciated, thank you
Well done collaboration. Looking forward to part 2
Do you want more tips or a collaboration on another topic?
thanks
I definitely appreciate these videos. I just bought my first travel trailer & trying to learn as much as I can before my first trip. I’m a little nervous because there is so much involved but really excited about learning & traveling more.
start making checklists for every process right now, they are invaluable to have, especially when starting out.
@@tonybartlett5302 try to go to local sites when it’s not busy and practice! That’s what I did to not look like a fool lol
Ok wow!! Just doing spring maintenance and yup lo and behold there IS a little filter!!! Got it on my to do list now!! Thanks so much!! 💕
Glad to help
Before backing into a site, I walk the site to check the layout. I have a fold-up traffic cone that I set up at the slide-out’s width from the power or water pole. I’ll use the traffic cone as the aligning point for backing in. That way, I’m sure of having enough room to open the slide out. I have had some sites where the power pole is right on the edge, and this requires the opposite side to be off the pad. The traffic cone really earns its keep in those situations.
nice! thanks for watching and commenting!
Awesome list.
I'm about to be a 1st time RVer and I'm jumping full force into full time RV-life. The linked videos have been invaluable to ensure peace of mind for when I start this new phase of life. Cheers. 🫡
glad to help, have fun on your new adventure!
When I'm walking to pick up my chocks I check the lights on the walk around. I also check that all hatches and covers are secured, and everything else is stowed or closed.
thanks for adding!
Great list of tips and great collaboration. Thanks guys!
thank you for watching!
Best RV tips video ever made!
Glad you think so, thanks again Dan!
Excellent video! There is much to be said about the gray/black/gray method. We had our shakedown trip just this past weekend and I had the hose only half on. The gray water went everywhere when I tested the connections. Could have been alot worse!! Love these types of tips.
Thanks for watching, and glad you're here!
Great informative and collaborative video. I follow both of you guys. It definitely refreshed me and gave me things to think about 🎉
Great to hear!
You opened with the fresh water tank. I'm full time in my 5th wheel on my lot in the woods and keep the fresh water tank full at all times due to power outages, no power no well. I do have a 9800 watt generator so I can access my water pump and turn it to "dry camping" I do drain the tank a couple of times a year but is there more I should be doing? Should I be doing something to keep the inside of the 65 gallon fresh water tank clean?
Thanks.
thats a good question, and honestly, this might be a good question for a chemist, or someone with fresh water tank expertise... if that makes sense. There are a lot of factors to consider when using water that has been stored in tanks for long periods of time: how long, temperature, is the water being cycled or sitting, etc... something i am not ashamed to admit I cant speak to without doing some research, but hopefully someone with that experience here can help.
Great video, awesome you guys collaborated on these videos. I'm a newbee just started last year and have followed and learned ALOT from you both. keep up the great content.
Our pleasure!
on my gray and black tank handles, every few months i put some 3-1 oil on them to help and maintain the valves, just a habit of mine and I've had the same valves for 17 years
good stuff!
When the power tongue jack on my little 13 1/2’ 10 foot habitat over landing trailer failed even the manual tool was useless because it jammed up all the gears in the motor and wouldn’t go up or down. Luckily the trailer was enough. I was able to pick it up put it on and go buy a manual jack.
I've seen that happen a few times, I'm glad you were able to get it sorted out!
Regarding the water hose quick disconnects - beware that if you use brass disconnects on an aluminum hose end (most), you will have galvanic corrosion that if not caught early enough will essentiailly fuse the two together making it almost impossible to seperate. I'm not sure how stainless reacts to aluminum, or brass to stainless. One option is to coat the connections with corrosion inhibitors, but that'll have to be applied somewhat often. I think the safest thing to do is get the disconnects in the same metal as your hose ends.
this is true... I've recently upgraded everything to stainless, working on the video right now, cant wait to get it released next month.
Great info! Thanks for sharing. We are almost one year in so I'm always learning something.
im always leaning too!
What do you think about an instant water heater for a 17b because the one on there is 6 gallons I love your videos
i have personally never had an issue with losing hot water with a 6 gallon tank. ive spoken diretly to hundreds of people about tank vs tankless and the majority of them also dont have issues with hot water. I think the tankless water heater is overrated, but that is just my opinion and based on my usage and experience with tank heaters. i like being able to use electric as well, which is not an option on tankless.
On demand water heaters can be a bit tricky, especially if you are traveling and don't know the water conditions for the area that you are going into. In some areas, the water is hard enough to eat through the normal copper lines that are used for those (according to the plumber I spoke to while I still owned a house). Backing up @RVTipsandTravels, they are a propane only system, and will probably eat propane like crazy, especially if there are more than one or two people in the rig.
Great info always. Question. Which RV dash cam is recommended by both of you. Thanks 9:44
i use the Haloview dash cam. works off the same screen as the back up cameras, and its mounted to my truck windsheild all the time, so I use that to record all the time, towing or not.
here is my system: www.haloview.com/byte-tango-bt7-touch-1080p-wireless-backup-camera-system-with-touch-screen.html?acc=765

I just found this video and it has a ton of great information! At the very end of this video, you close your door, was the handle on the screen door already on there or did you add it? If you added it, where did you get it! This is one of my biggest complaints with RV doors!
here you go my friend: amzn.to/3YLSDzP
Just a note on the propane/absorption fridges. The flame is not shielded from the wind while you are driving, and it is possible that the flame can be extinguished during travel, or be pushed outside the burn tube. Additionally, if you have a blowout while your propane is on, the blown off tread often (usually) goes up into the body of the rig. If this happens on the fridge side of the rig, it could damage or cut the propane line and result in a fire and/or an explosion.
great info to know, thank you for sharing and adding to the video.
do you have a complete listing of the items on that check list that you showed at the tail end of the video? I got a couple of screen shots but felt that there might have been more on the list. it looked very helpful for the items that I saw. thanks.
check the video description, if you need a link to something that isnt there, let me know and I will be happy to provide them.
Nice collaboration guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video.....make sure you watch the second video!
agreed!
Thanks for making this, always learning something new.
More to come!
Watched both vids. Great teamwork
Thanks!
thank you!
Just got my first RV, single and 75, know I will use all of this info
awesome, have fun!
Great set of tips… thanks Ross!
you're very welcome my friend
Noticed areas that appear to have rusting. Penetrol by Flood is a great way to encapsulate it. It's a penetrating oil sealer.
where at?
I personnel keep a running spreadsheet of all maintenance that makes it easy for me.
me too, sort of, I use a maintenance app.
Thanks for the great advise!!!🎉
You bet!
I would like to know where you can get the hooks that hold those tools on the cargo space wall in this video. I have looked everywhere and cannot find them.
at what time in the video?
@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS it’s the manual override tool clips at 5:23/15:56. Thank you so much for your quick response.
they usually come with the rv, but let me see if i can find them.
Thank you! Great information
youre welcome
1 thing I do that is not mentioned is I have tape marks on my broom handle stored in the front compartment. the tape mark represents how far the slide out comes out. You don't want to level and unhook and start setting up and find out the slide can't open all the way because of the power post or tree branch encroaching the slide out space. so I just hold the handle against the RV at the front and the back and make sure to look up for tree branches.
thank you for watching and commenting!
On the quick disconnects...I use them and like them. Be sure to use faucet lube on the male end. Lube the rubber seal and balls on the internal mating coupler. This keeps the seals from leaking and delays corrosion. This product is SOLD at any hardware store in the plumbing dept. Happy motoring/camping !
thanks for the info and for watching!
Wow that's absolutely cool
yep, i dont think many others realize this either.
thanks for watching
Ross we need know if vents should be open in winter or closed. We love in VA. We have the vovers on roof so no rain comes in. We are confused and trying fight mold during summer. What temp keep air condition on prevent mold in summer? We have a dehumidifier and damprid inside. Just need know keep vents open or closed during storage. See no video yours addressing mold and vent.
I dont know what the correct answer is as far as the science goes, but i keep all my vents closed during winter. Im not an expert on mold growth, but I've never had any issues with mold by keeping the vents closed during the winter. Are you getting mold now while using the Damprid? I heard that stuff works great.
I need to restain our cabinets, what stain did u use 🤔
Karen, I used this. its not a perfect match, but close. amzn.to/3XlDTbu
This is another product that I have used as well for touch ups when i ran out of the Mixwax: amzn.to/3KDIK0p
Have you ever experimented with the tankless water heaters in campers? I am thinking about getting one but not sure if it’s cost worthy. Thanks.
I have not, and to be honest, i have never run out of water with a tank heater. another thing to consider is that you will not have an electric option, so you will be using propane, even when connected to electric, to heat water.
Thanks for the great video
👍
Very well done gents!
Thank you!
Thanks!
When hooking up the safety chains to the links of the vehicle hitch area, direct the beaks of the hooks upwards. Hook them up from under the links, not over the top of the links.
Thanks Jakub... May I ask your reasoning for this?
One thing I've carried in our various trailers for over 25 years, and have never had to use it, is a 12 volt battery charger and heavy duty extension cord. If your converter goes out, you won't have any 12 volt lights. Connect charger to 12 volt battery and plug into shore power 120 volts on pedestal. This will give you power for your 12 volt lights and other equipment. Better to have it and not need it, than the other way. This is an inexpensive item, and it doesn't require much storage room. Safe travels!
thanks for adding to the video!
Love the collaboration
thank you!
What is the bike rack you have on the dodge truck? I have a retrax bed cover with the slide track on the side.
Joshua will need to answer that one @rvgearandfar
IN MY EXPERIENCE THE FRIDGE WILL KEEP FOOD COLD AND THE FREEZER FROZEN FOR ABOUT 7 HOURS OF TRAVEL JUST BE SURE THE FRIDGE HAS BEEN ON FOR 3 DAYS BEFORE TURNING IT OFF TO TRAVEL. WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT YOUR DESTINATION 7 HOURS LATER TURN IT BACK ON. GAS OR SHORE POWER DOESN'T MATTER.
thanks for watching!
I wish mine did. 2-3 hours and it’s warm in the fridge.
@@shanedenmark5536throw a small bag of ice in there during travel and maybe change the door seal
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
would you run the generator to keep the fridge & freezer running while traveling to and from your destination? or just load up your cold items in a cooler with ice? thank you for all the newbies tip videos.
I have never run a generator on my RV. It would depend on the type of generator as well and the set up, there's a lot of variables, but I dont feel its my place to give advice on things Ive never personally done. Sorry I cant help you on this one...
@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS thank you for being honest. I have seen people say both ways for class A of running it and not running. Thank you for responding. Safe travels
safe travels to you as well!
Those blue freezy ice blocks work well to keep the fridge cold during travel, put in freezer at night & ready for use the next day
Thanks for the video
you bet!
If I have to camp in below freezing weather how do I keep the bottom of the RV warm to keep the pipe from freezing?
that depends, is your RV heat ducted to the underbelly from the factory?
@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS no
At O:50 does anyone the name is the water gauge?
I bought a similar one off Amazon and it was WAY out of sync.
Thanks in advance.

you said something that made me think, if I'm on city water I don't need to run my water pump, is that correct I'm a newbie ?
correct
I'm on city water and full hookups stationary now for awhile,years...we recently lost water due to break in the line,was without water for 2 days,is it ok to fill fresh water tank and keep it full for long periods in case it happens again without it becoming bad or hurt anything?? Because you never know when or if you'll have a no water issue come about 😊
im not a chemist so I cant speak to how long you should keep water in a tank, but if I were in your situation, I would fill the tank, then a few days later, empty it by using it to shower or clean dishes (so you're not wasting it), then refill. Personally I would probably do this every 3-4 days, again I dont know how long water stays fresh in a tank, but thats what I would do. hope that helps
If you turn off your propane during travel, does the stuff in the freezer stay frozen and does your food stay cold?

@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS we have issues with out pass through door popping open, any ideas?
I’ve traveled up to 5 hours with my propane off and still had food cold and/or frozen. No problem….
I had a dealer tell me that the tank sensors (other than the fresh water) are just selling points. That they always get gunked up and fail to be useful within the first few uses. That there are more expensive sealed models but they do not come stock.
i would agree based at least on my experiences. i can get them clean, it usually involves filling the tank after a dump and letting it sit for a few hours, but most of the time i dont even bother with them.
Nice work, love these tips and your correct about checklists.
Thanks for watching!
Wait... you can run the park water and your fresh water at the same time? Seems obvious, but I never considered it! Sure would help out when the water is barely trickling out of the shower head. Huh...thanks!
yep!
Probably going to Label the tanks also-didnt see labels on yours.
the valve handles? i do have them, they are placed up on the rv itself, and the handles are color coded.
I invested in a 12 volt fridge and it been the best investment yet. the propane gas and electric ones on travel days were a nightmare.
the next rv will have a 12v fridge, its a deal breaker for me.
As a female solo camper, I have a near to impossible problem connecting and disconnecting the sewer drain hose. I’m just not strong enough. I purchased a tool that was supposed to make it easier. But it didn’t. I dread having to tackle this step, every time.
what drain hose company are you using? I use this and its very easy to install: amzn.to/3XgzNS4

still cant believe we can build a nuclear submarine but cant run a AC unit boondocking for a day or two. have researched , only realistic way is inverter generator. 3500w or >. Your vids are awesome i'm brand new to the game. class b plus. you got me up to speed pretty quick, broke it down this way, watched all your videos on water bay, cleaning winteration H20 pumps/propane or electric and H20 heater. then watched all videos around AC and on and on. thanks and thanks for doing as a good faith effort for people like me.
glad to help my friend... on the AC issue, i think it comes down to cost. there are probably ways to cool an rv with less power/better ducting systems, but the cost to do it would raise the cost of an already highly competitive market so nobody is going to be the guniea pig.
really like your tips and ideas, however would be great if you could slow it down a bit for us older folks to digest. 😳
you can slow youtube videos down by clicking the gear icon on the screen and changing the speed of the video, down to .75 for example. hope that helps, and thank you for your input!
Hook up a light trailer to a truck that can pull 4 times the trailers weight and see what happens when you forget to remove the cheap rubber chock. Nice black line across the driveway.

I noticed on your safty chains you had opening pointed down. The last video i watched insisted they point up. Pointing down nakes more sense
👍🏼
Instead of filling our water tanks for travel in our class c.. we just take a gallon of water to flush the toilet when needed on the road. Didn’t need any extra weight with the 7.4 and 30ft of rv.
also a great idea, thanks for sharing!
Enjoy the videos
Thank you for the comment!
We bought all the adapters we needed. Then when we got out new trailer, the dealer gave us more adapters.
never hurts to have extras!
One thing I see people doing and it's a big no no is never plug the camper into the power pedestal when the 7 prong plug is still connected to the tow vehicle I see people doing that a lot.
Why?
i have heard that running a 12 volt power source and a 110 volt power source may cause electrical issues. It is not something I have looked into yet, but it involves a few things that I will probably do some research on and talk about in thenear future.
thanks for watching!
Here is another point to consider when hooking up your chains, cross them, twist them if they hang down and drag, and snap the hook underhand not overhand to eliminate the chance of something hitting a hook and dislodged.
NEVER EVER EVER TWIST YOUR CHAINS! you are sideloading the links, chains lose a massive amount of strength when twisted. if your chains are too long, cut links off until its the right length. Here is why you dont twist chains: ruclips.net/video/clj42no4DxY/видео.html
this would be better if you would slow down so we can grab onto what in the world you are talking about and how to do what you are trying to instruct on.
thanks for the input Curt, it is appreciated. You can actually slow down RUclips videos by clicking the gear icon on the bottom of the video and slowing down the playback speed if it is too fast paced for you. Hope this helps.
Thanks, didn't know that.
welcome.
@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS We have really enjoyed and learned so much, we have been campers and RV owners back several years ago, but sold out and now we are starting back. we remember what it was like and how much we enjoyed it but a lot of things have changed also. we thank you for all of your information. Some new and some review to refresh us. Keep going as you are. NOTHING is so simple that we can not learn something new.
Ha ha, to each their own, I watch at 1.5x spd
3 to 4 years for tires??? Unless you bought the worlds cheapest tires last time, that's crazy. If they still look good, you can go 7 years.
that is where many manufacturers and dealers start with recommended replacement. Each person needs to make their own decision or course, and I wont disagree you can easily get more than 3 years out of a tire with little use. There's also other factors like UV damage vs garage kept RV's. A lot of things to consider, but we are always going to refer back to what the manufacture recommends. Ive worked in material handling for years before starting this channel as a manager for a dealership. to protect the customer, the product, and the dealership, using manufacturer specs and recommendations is really the only way to go. I usually keep trailer tires for 5 years before replacing them, but I would also state the manufacturer recommendation in the same sentence. thanks for watching!
Washing waterpump filter with waterpump disassembled?? Magic..
Not magic, I washed it in my house kitchen. If you dont have a sticks and bricks house, you can use the pressurized city water instead of the tank while the filter is removed since that runs on a different line. Anything else I can clear up for you?
The music behind the voice is no help.
At what point? The music plays during segment transitions, not during the segments. It’s also playing at a fraction of the voice volume so maybe it’s the device you’re watching on?

lol, not itching for a fight at all... people watch ads that play on the videos and make comments based on what they see in those ads, not realizing they are commenting on the ad itself, not the video. I've also gotten comments from other videos, and I want to make sure there is no confusion with our information.
