Check out my MUST-HAVE pop up camper accessories video here: th-cam.com/video/ayXty0p5YFA/w-d-xo.html
A cheap foam kneeling pad for gardening is one of the things I would suggest to protect your knees and keep you pants cleaner when you're setting the stabilizers or levelers, or whatever might require kneeling on the ground.
Great point about how the mattress toppers can make the popup harder to close. Other TH-camrs have mentioned that too. Definitely a consideration. Appreciate the reminder. When my wife joins me for the 1st trip, the 2nd trip may need to include this. LOL
Man I am hooked on this account. Maiden voyage was Memorial weekend 2021 and I found this after. Can’t wait to show my husband all these tips!! I am logged into his TH-cam account so I am sure he is being spammed with notifications from me liking all your videos and comments!
I totally agree. So professional and approachable. A couple other good ones are Adventures in PopUps and RVEastcoast.
I have one of those screw type levelers and I love it. Have been using for the last 8 years and works like a charm on my pop up. Although I have been turning the screw with the manual wrench it came with.
I have duel axle popup Its amazing the difference in stability on the highway. But like you said its to heavy for the lifter. I bolt two 2x6s to the rear bumper to use as a leveler. I back up onto them when needed
I love your videos! We just bought our first pop ip and these have been so helpful!
Couldn't agree more on the leveler! We purchased one when we got our last camper! Best invention since cruise control! :)
Do you need one for each tire?
Nope, just one for the "low" side/tire.
You pretty much nailed it. I do like a portable shower/sprayer tho.
I store my bal leveler inside an old pizza delivery bag to keep things from getting dirty along with the ratchet and stabilizer blocks
Might be nice to show a picture of some of these items. Like the owl lights at night and what the mat looks like. Again, excellent video. Very informative. Thanks!
Very informative! Does the Bal 28050 work with a pop up having 12" tires?
Thank you for such an informative video! I always enjoy watching your channel. I have a quick question regarding sway bars on pop ups. I have a viking 2108 st and the GVWR is 2700 lb. I've just purchased a sway bar and it is very heavy on its own. Do you use a sway bar?
No we don't. However, we have it on the list of things to look into in the future.
I enjoyed the video, lots of great items a couple I alrdy have. The popup tire leveler looks to be something I'd like to add in the future. Thanks
Thank you for these videos, they are very informative.
I'll be getting 2 pop-ups this month and I'm very excited about them
I have a list made up already and have just ordered the tire levelers.
How bout boondocking?! How’s to run everything without power. 😁😜
What's your choice of wifi boosters or extenders? Or do you purposely avoid them since you're camping? LOL. I wish I could, but I teach online and it's a 7 day a week gig. So I need to have a reliable source besides my phone's wifi hotspot. Cheers.
I've come to enjoy our pop up the only downside is my wife and I have a 16 month old and naps don't go over to well because of the tent sides.
Have you had a chance to check out our Pop Up Camping in HOT Weather video? th-cam.com/video/tVXSfano86o/w-d-xo.html
I ask because the DIY Reflectix Window Inserts & Reflective Tarps really help keep our camper much darker, which might help nap time if the issue with the tent side is too much light! It certainly helps us (and our dogs) sleep in a bit later and catch some post-hike naps in the afternoon :P
Best pop up cover? Recommendations?
Going to get that Leveler, much easier than pieces of wood
You mention toward the end the weight limit. Did you ever recall or find what the limit is? I have / just got a Rockwood HW27KS. Dry weight is 2962lbs and 3870 GVWR. Hoping this will work.
Love your stuff BTW I was a fan even before we got our camper.
Thanks, the weight limit is somewhere between 1750 and 2000 lbs. Keep in mind, you'll also have have tongue jack and other wheel on the ground, so the BAL leveler isn't holding up your entire pop up. I think you be fine with your rockwood.
@@ItsPoppin thank you!! I was thinking of the entire weight. Thanks for helping me!! If you ever find your way to Minnesota and there is a meet and greet I’d come and say hello.
Love the videos. Do you have any recommendations for controlling bugs, ants, flies, etc. inside the pop-up?
Do you mean when camping or when its in storage?
It's Poppin' - Pop Up Camping mainly when camping.
So here is what comes to mind: a. Make sure all of the possible ingress locations are sealed up (zippers. Velcro, bungies, etc.); and b. Make sure that when its dark out and you have your interior lights on, you limit the amount of time the door is open. I know a lot of people like using a thermocell for mosquitos, but we don't have one. Also, we don't use any traps or use any repellents when we're camping.
Food grade mint oil mixed in a small spray bottle with water has helped me. 5ish drops in a half liter of water. Mint oil is a natural repellant. Just dont go too heavy as it can give you a headache.
Where can I find door replacements?
So we have a forest river popup and our cassette tank seems to leak when we flush it...as well as when we emptied it and moved it back and to rinse it out its making a noise like something is inside of it but I don't see anything sliding around....can you help me with any suggestions
My first guess is that it could be the rubber ring seal at the top that seals between the toilet bowl and the black water holding tank.
sad the bal tire leveler is not for sale on amazon no more :(
Yeah, they’ve been out of stock or at inflated prices for the last year. There are two alternatives that I know of. One is the EAZ lift leveler by Camco and the other is called the Kojack leveler. Both of which appear to work very similar to the BAL leveler. Perhaps you’ll have some luck finding one of these?
What kind of cordless impact wrench did you use for the Ball Leveler?
Milwaukee M12 1/4"
Newbie here. What is the socket/adapter you are using on the drill? Thanks! LOVE all of your helpful info!
For the BAL leveler? 3/4" socket.
This video will be so much more interesting outside.
Do you know anything about why the bal leveler is no longer available. I was reading your comments and you mentioned 2 other brands and they are both unavailable as well. I am middle aged, and overweight and camp by myself or with a young child and I can't figure out a way to easily level my new to me pop up and have been desperately trying to find something this simple.
I've seen them pop up used on Facebook Marketplace every once and a while.
What can i do to prevent critters from entering my popup when it's not in use
I think the absolute best thing to do is eliminate any points of ingress. I know a lot of people recommend things like dyer sheets, clove scent, peppermint scent, or irish spring soap, but then again a lot of other people say those are wives tales. At any rate, it'll keep your camper smelling good. Another thing you can do is eliminate critters around your storage area, whether that is accomplished via trapping or maybe even a cat! Also, make sure you don't keep food in your camper for extended periods of time.
Bay leaves work well. Mice especially do not care for the scent. Use small zip lock baggies with small puncture holes( so the bay leaf scent is released ), and place them in all cabinets.
I'm subscribed, I have a hybrid trailer.
Welcome!
I'm surprised a surge protector wasnt on your list.
Would love to see you with a 3D printer, couldn’t imagine the awesome mods you’d create. 🙂
Do you have any model recommendations?
Found the tire jack is junk!!! For bigger pop ups and trailers with slide outs too heavy!!! Bulky heavy great for small campers with double beds no slide outs i tried it with pop up without slide too heavy with king size beds
