You, Me & the RV
You me and the RV
"Sweepers, sweepers, man your brooms." lol Go NAVY! Retired myself in 2008.
We are working our full time plan now. Found your channel through Changing Lanes (watched the RV swap). We are going the fifth wheel route but you two provide valuable info for any RVer. Can't wait to station the maneuvering watch! (Or sea and anchor detail for you surface Sailors)
Informative and entertaining at the same time - good video! I see you make use of pool noodles (so many uses for those things!) and noticed that you have awnings over your slide toppers. So when Phil was sweeping water off of one of the awnings I remembered I watched a You Tuber just last week who had a great idea for using pool noodles under their slide awnings. They got the kind that are ribbed and they 'hook' (interlock) 3 of them together to form a triangle and then put them under the slide awnings to help the water run off the awning instead of pooling on it.
Linda Rose That is a great idea!!! Thank you so much!! We are going to test it out. We do have the best viewers!!!😉
Fingers crossed it works for you. If not, you'll have some extra pool noodles to use for other things 😉
True 🤣
We are weekend warriors and just bought two way radios. They are voice activated and aid in backing up and leveling. No more shouting at each other and flaring tempers when you don't know what your spotter is telling you. Happy wife; happy camping.
We have those too. Not sure they have cured all of the flaring tempers but they do help when we cant use our cell phones! lol
I had a nephew and a brother who retired from the Navy. My one son was in the Air Force the other son served in the Navy on a nuke sub. My other brother served on subs too. Then I was in the Army,58-61.Yes I am the oldest, Great hair cut...Stay safe and God Bless.
Sounds like you guys are a huge military family just like we are! You already know about our son and son in law, Phil's father and grand father retired from the military and mine was a POW of Vietnam. I guess it is in our blood!
It is people like you and your family that make our country great! Thanks to all!
I love the "outtakes" at the end of some of the videos that I've watched, they're hilarious,. Thanks for the great content, you guys are awesome together!
I’m an Active Duty Command Sergeant Major in the Army, so I appreciate your attention to detail. We’ll be going full time in the next 12-18 months after I retire. I’ve been searching for the best, for lack of a better term, “pre-execution checklist” for a while now. I’ve gone through several variations. Your slap bracket idea is amazing! I ordered a handful from Amazon last night to give it a try. Great idea! Thanks! And go Army, Beat Navy! 😉
You are welcome. Thanks for joining us! I hope your transition goes well.
I love the slap bracelet idea!
Thanks!
Phil, saw your idea with putting the pool noodles on the edges of the slides for peoples protection. But even better was using them for your wiper blades to help protect them from the sun and weather! 👍
Thanks so much!
So we JUST bought our rig, but I (NOT IMPULSIVELY!) bought a $100 pair of FRS walkie-talkies to let us stay in constant communications with each other. We've only used them for backing up in the driveway and chit-chatting on the road when I drove the rig home, but I see where hanging one on our pockets will let us really coordinate our efforts. Your talk about making sure everything/everyONE is clear before pulling in the slides is something I had not considered at all. Thanks again for a great video!
Most of the time we use our cell phones but since I have Sprint I havent had signal during all of our travels. When this happens our walkies work perfectly!
Great Video full of information I will use once I get my RV. My back hurts just watching you hook it up. Thanks.
Best video yet, and they have all been great LOL. So informative. Love the bloopers, keep'em coming!
Thanks so much!!! We really had fun with this one! Thanks for watching!!
Great. Very organized and systematic. And once again, great bloopers. Agree with Phil. Stay away from the poop chute, and be sure to get that little hole fixed that the thing goes into. Safe Travels.
When the day comes that we are able to hit the road, it will be a pleasure to hopefully meet you people. Your a joy to watch. Thank you for all your help.
Thank you! We love meet ups! Keep us posted
Love watching you guys.
What a great video! I would have thought no one would make something like this. Thanks for the help.
You're welcome!
We use 2 copies of a checklist for each move. My wife and I check each item. It may seem redundant, but we all miss things so it pays off. Our slide toppers have brushes that cleans them off as it rolls in. No need to be on the roof.
I agree checklists are always important! Brushes on the toppers would be awesome!! Thanks for watching!
Absolutely LOVE LOVE your team work
Thanks!
Took lots of notes… thank you :)
LOVE to watch newbies😉
I feel like we will always be newbies!
Wow! Really gave me something to think about. (Hubs and I are considering hitting the road in a few years)
I fully agree with turning the propane off before you travel.
It only takes a second so why not be as safe as possible!!
LOVE the snap pads! 2yrs. And still on.
We love them too!!
Great team work guys!!
Thank you!
I love your videos. You guys make me laugh, your so animated. Love your RV, it's beautiful. Wish we could do that, but purging would be ridiculously hard plus our finances would never allow us. My husband refuses to RV especially full time. So I have to vicariously live my life through you. Have fun, be safe, happy travelling.
You are so sweet!! Thanks for watching our adventures.
Very informative. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I know this is been 2 years ago when y'all film this. Y'all might want to go to the truck stop and get a truck driver Atlas it has low clearance Bridges around the country and much more information.
Super helpful, thanks!
Welcome!
We bought heavy duty rubber coated twist ties at Home Depot and secure all cupboard doors and drawers (we bought the fattest heavier ones and feed it through the drawer pulls.
We have some of those. Great idea!
Another good video keep them coming
Thank you KD!
Can you show a picture of your TPS sensor on the rear tires. .?
I have flow through seniors. Not sure if you have use a u extender on your vale.
great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Oh! Meant to say that I love your idea of the slap bracelets!!! :)
Thanks!
As many RV videos as I watch, this was the first time I have ever seen the breakdown routine, well. . .broken down!
So-o interesting, and w-a-y too much work for single, ol' lady, lazy me.
I have fantasized about adopting a retirement RV lifestyle myself, but after seeing this side of it, I won't be giving it another thought! I'm absolutely stunned that you two accomplish this lengthy checklist -- and barefoot, or in flip-flops!
They'd be "flopping" me into an ambulance!! 😄
All you RV'ers enjoy your well-earned rewards; I'll be sticking to occasional getaways somewhere much less complicated -- where people much more agile and stronger than I am see to the details.
P.S. I cook, however! When I do travel, a working kitchen is at the top of my priority list.
HAHA Ann. It really does get easier the more you do it. We can break down and set up our site in about 30 minutes or less depending on what we set up outside. Smaller RV will dictate less stuff.....so you could do it.
@@todayissomeday Yes; smaller would definitely be the way to go for me!
And instead of flip-flops, I'll be suiting up in steel toed boots, protective gloves and safety goggles! 😄😁
Another great video! We do not full time, but do manage 2, 4+ week trips a years plus weekends. Lots of good info. We are also retired military (Air Force meteorologist/Aerographer in the Navy), and use fam camps as often as we can. What are your favorites?
Thank you both for your service! Our favorite so far is the Air Force Academy. It is a beautiful area, beautiful base and campground. We cant wait to go back! We also like Jacksonville and Pensacola for the beach proximity and local attractions. That being said we haven't been to one we would not return to.
The slap bracelets is a great idea, will be making that happen thank you. A couple of 2way radios is a great idea when you have a partner outside so you can talk but don't have to yell.
We do have those. Sometimes we use those and sometimes the phone but we no longer use hand signals! Those dont always work well. lol
Great video.
Thanks! ;)
Good thing to check those tires on the towed vehicle. My ex and I were full-timing it for a while in our RV and somebody towing a CJ5 jeep was driving off with their tires locked up (and I don't know how but THEY could not hear it screeching along behind them). I finally jumped into our own jeep and took off after them to tell them they'ed left the vehicle in gear or with the parking brake on. They were thankful - but embarrassed. (I honestly don't know how on earth they couldn't hear it themselves but who knows.)
Yikes! That is one of my fears! We never hit the road without checking the wheels
By the way I am now a subscriber… enjoy your videos.
Welcome aboard!
You guys always leave me laughing. Another Great and informative video! At first I thought you had an actual breakdown. But after i realized, camp break down. 😂
Thanks! We switched up the thumbnail. Don't want people to think we are baiting them!
Great video guys Phil I only have one question. when you were dumping your black tank did you go back and rinse out the tank really thoroughly to make sure you didn’t leave a lot of debris in the tank. basically you know that builds up after a while and it’s really hard to get out of the black tank. just curious because I’ve seen lots of videos on this and they always flush the whole tank like to two or three times with 5 gallon buckets to get a good cleaning in the black tank and leave some water in the black tank after that rinse guy love your great videos I was just curious that’s all
George and Flor
Great question George......I did go back and flush the tank. For video editing sake, we didn't show everything. You could ask 100 RV'ers if they flush after they dump and you will get 100 different answers as well. I make sure that I alway add water to the empty black tank to help with breakdown and from drying out.
Excellent! Very helpful! Two questions, please:
I noticed the coffee pot on the counter; did we just not see you putting it away, or is there a way to secure daily used appliances on the counter for the drive?
Why did Phil put what looks like a square pillow in the ceiling? Is it a ceiling fan? Thank you!
We dont put it away. It lives there and stays without problem during our drives. To be honest I dont have anywhere else to put it and I would hate to have to drag it out daily.
LOVE the idea of the bracelets on the steering wheel!!! However, after see how much work goes into your "fifth wheeler"/RV............ have decided I will stick to my Coaster bus size campers. I couldn't stand having to do all that every time I wanted to stay for one night.
We wont pull it all out for an overnight but we will open the slides and get comfortable. BTW I have changed a few decor pieces and use museum putty to hold the rest down so that is a few less to worry about.
I just found your channel and am enjoying your videos. Thanks! We are like you in many ways. We sold our house and hit the road July 4.I am wondering if you have been able to hook your weboost to your satellite. I know you actually use your satellite (we dont) but maybe via a splitter?
No, we havent actually thought about doing it so I dont know if we could.
Where can I find the brace you put in the refrigerator to keep food and bottles from falling?
Sorry I missed this! Here is the link on Amazon. It is less than $5. amzn.to/2VgjRwy
Informative video. Like the coffee pot with the metal carafe. Is it over-thinking to spend time on which model of coffee pot one wants to travel with? I'm thinking about going with a double insulated metal carafe model. Noticed a few other details that helps. Can't have enough channel locks for the water hookups. I saved back two from our garage sale. Also, our last trip I would have paid double for a paper atlas when we were making the circle around Indianapolis Indiana. Quick reference.
Hey Our Future! I just found your blog...it's great and very detailed! Its never over thinking when it comes to coffee!! We broke our glass pot in Colorado Springs so that is why we chose the stainless steel carafe and we love it. We can even take it outside with us and it stays hot.
We also purchased the R McNally atlas for trucks and we have used it several times to verify low bridges/tunnels when our Garmins disagree! Thanks for watching. Hopefully we can meet up on the road!
@@todayissomeday That map is So handy. My trucker brother gifted us one when we got our RV!
What door are you saying always comes open?
We just watched this one for a second time...wondering what the pillow in the fan in the bathroom is for/does???
It is for insulation in the fan. Keeps the sun and heat out.
Hi, very informative video, can you please tell me where you got the bands at? thanks
Do you mean the slap bracelets? If so here is the link: amzn.to/2QkhfLF
do you have a 12v fridge? How are you running fridge/freezer while traveling if propane is off?
We have a commercial fridge
If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion, you might consider walk-in talkies for when you are bringing in the slides and checking the lights.
We have them but have only used them for backing in when the cell phones didnt have a signal. Didnt think about it for the slides.
What size is your rig. Good job on the videos.
Thanks! Ruby is 35 feet. Safe travels
Very helpful! One question.. stacy, how did you manage reaching the pedals when you drive?
I have to sit very forward in the seat to reach them. It wouldnt be comfortable long term. But we will keep working on it.
As long as you are safe!
Did you know that you can take your water hose and screw the ends together to stop dripping?
Yes, we were doing that until we installed the quick release to our hose and connections.
Where at Walmart did you find that thing that holds the recliner in place? The nice folks at Walmart have no idea what I'm talking about. Does it have a name?
Thanks!!!
Not sure what you mean. We dont use anything to tie down the recliner.
Have no idea it too all of that work to get ready to go.we travel on a Dodge Promaster and it's a lot easier.thanks for the information.
It really isnt that bad. Recording it slowed down the process.
How do you guys work out on the road?
Off and on with our TRX straps and adjustable dumbbells. We also like to hike and bike.
Oh my gosh, how long from start to finish does this take?
Hey, Greg Roche At first it took us forever but now only about 30-40 min not counting the car. We work at the same time so it goes fast. The car is about 15-30 min depending on conditions.
Won't fire pressure come up after down the road?
It will, but we have a tire pressure monitoring system onboard.
Do you leave a gallon of water in your black tank while you're traveling, just to loosen the ugly stuff, then rinse when you hook up again, stay safe
We put more than a gallon. We never want it to dry out.
Lucky people who buy this Rv when you downsize to a smaller Rv, that is some major a-type procedures to make sure you don’t f-up your Rv.
We are in a 12 step program for our type A natures.....it isnt working!
Lol! I read the title wrong and thought your RV broke down! Thank goodness that wasn’t the case. 😂
Chickery's Travels Oh man. That was not my intent!! Ideas on a new thumbnail?? Thoughts? Suggestions?? Should I leave it??
Leave it -- I'm an idiot. LOL! I'm pretty sure it is obvious to most what the video was about. BTW, you did a great job of showing the process.
Chickery's Travels No you not! Lol. We had another viewer think the same thing so we changed the thumbnail just a bit!
Didn’t flush the black tank?
Another great video guys. I'm wondering Stacy, if anyone has ever said you resemble Jennifer Aniston?
Only the cool people!
Just wondering why you stuff that pillow into the Fantastic Fan area before you leave.
It is reflective to keep the heat out on hot days while driving. It makes a huge difference. In the summer we keep it there some days while stationary as well.
@@todayissomeday They've got some really nice covers you can install on those vents that block the sun, wind and rain, allowing them to be open when you drive. You can get white, smoke or black depending on how much light you want to let in.
@@davidrichard7361 The previous owner in stalled covers on our vents but they are not tinted so the sun still shines on in like they are not there.
What is the purpose of putting something in the fan in the bathroom?
Insulation. Keeps the heat out.
@@todayissomeday Ahh ok. makes sense.
Why would you bring in your rooms when your little dog is running around and possibly getting caught up one of the slides
Us a step stool
Man you need to ge a jeep to toll
Love those bloopers. Phil does need to talk more and have like a MAN segment too....
What about turning off the hot water heater? What about lowering the TV antenna? What about the dishes, especially coffee cups, that were just put in the cabinet but not positioned for travel? What about securing the contents of the medicine cabinet? What about securing the trash container after its last use? What about securing the toilet paper roll so it doesn't completely unroll as you are going down the road? You wonder why I ask about these things in particular. These are ALL things we have forgotten at one time or another when breaking camp and regretted it.
Well, you fooled me. I was ready to feel sorry for you. When I saw the title saying complete breakdown, I thought the RV was completely broken at the side of the road. I am sure glad to see that it is/was not what you meant but you are breaking camp, not the camper! Perhaps the double meaning was intentional. If that is the case, you will be glad to know that it worked on me, thoroughly.
We dont actually have to do most of those things. The only thing I should have shown was the hot water heater. We have satellite so no antenna, dishes and coffee cups are always secure. No need for anything different for travel. Medicine contents are in a bunch of acrylic makeup containers so they are also always secure. Trash is wedged under the sink. I have never heard of the TP thing. That is a new one to me.
It is never our intent to put up misleading thumbnails. Sorry, if you were looking for something else. Thanks for watching and safe travels.
@@todayissomeday I always enjoy the surprise when a title indicates one thing and it is the other meaning of the word when I get into it. I like to take things said, literally. Example: When someone says they are going to run to the store, I like to say that it would be faster and easier if you drive. I also like to take the wrong antecedent to a pronoun when the sentence structure is ambiguous but the meaning is clear. I enjoyed being fooled on the word, breakdown. It makes life a lot of fun. Thank you!
By the way, imagine our surprise when we opened the bathroom door and found that a half roll of TP was sitting on the floor. Any more, I take the roll off the holder and put it in the vanity sink after making sure the sink is dry.
Phil, you should be ashamed of yourself. how can you leave a camp site with beers in the fridge???...pppppfffttt! 🤪
It is against the law to run out of beer!
