      Great info, I really liked seeing what the reversed polarity looked like.
      We have been RV’ing for over 22 years and we can always learn something new.... like what’s new on the market.

    My wife and I are buying our first RV and I have watched countless videos to prepare for our first trip. This is the first video I have watched of yours, and I have to say that it is the single BEST and MOST HELPFUL video I have watched!
    Great information. Entertaining. Concise, straight to the point. Links for everything. Great production quality. Short, only 11 minutes long. I have watched much longer, boring videos with much less information. I love how you both explain what the potential issues are, show the product, then clearly show how the product works and why you recommend it. Many TH-camrs can learn from you -- this is how you do it!
    THANK YOU so much, I will definitely like and subscribe and check out your other videos!

    I have been studying RV channels for a couple of weeks because I want to get a trailer and hit the road this summer. Every one of these tips seemed like a good idea for the rig I am planning to buy. At first I thought this was going to be kinda lame and geared toward the big rigs, but instead I am impressed that I am sure I can use them all.

  • @bmc81
    @bmc81 4 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Great tips. However, you needed to tell people that the pressure reducer needs to go on the shore water connection first and then the water hose. We found a campground in Utah that had 120 PSI water pressure. If I had not put the pressure reducer at the shore connection we would have blown our water hose apart. Thanks. Keep up the good work

  • @crankinhankin1826
    @crankinhankin1826 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Here is my tip... Learn to do your own RV maintenance and use a good car maintenance management program ( I use Automotive Wolf car care software ) to track and monitor it all. It also tracks all my parts, expenses and creates a detailed vehicle maintenance log. After RV'ing for over 10 years I've saved thousands by doing most of the maintenance myself and there is a lot of it on an RV! A small roof leak can cost you thousands in repairs so I check my roof at least twice a year. Keep on top of the maintenance and you'll save money and be RV'ing for years :)

  • @meadowlarkgal23
    @meadowlarkgal23 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent list, happy to report that almost all of the items on your list are in my storage box on my little teardrop trailer. I don’t have a bathroom or shower on board, but I started to use a hose and filter at the campground so I don’t have to haul water on my trips. Thanks again for the recommendations!

  • @kevinprincehorn2741
    @kevinprincehorn2741 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    There is a couple next to us who gave us another tip. Carry a stick the length of your slide out so you can tell if you are clear of electric boxes and trees. Loved the tips. Installed a permanent surge protector inside the camper.

  • @BillEdwards4
    @BillEdwards4 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have used Happy Camper for years. It definitely works. The only drawback is that it is a powder and can build up in some gate valves and cause leaks. If this happens to you, pre-dissolve it in a small bucket of water before adding it to your tank.
