I would rather listen to someone not sponsored then a salesperson or someone sponsored by something when it comes to camper
Thank you Austin. I thought it was important to say that. Look for new videos coming in a couple of weeks!
@austinrust I completely agree with you!! We travel do to our jobs. My husband knows about living in camper & 5th wheels. I’m about 3 almost 4 years into living majority of my life in our 5th wheel. I have so much to learn and he is learning more and more too. I love to learn from people who actually live the same life. I need a lot of help with space, organizing and redecorating. If you live in a camper full time it’s hard for me with space. I want to buy stuff but don’t have the room. Plus with our job we have to move very often
@@michellesavage6117 I totally agree 💯
Agreed 💯
Or anything. I listened to all the sponsored glowing reviews of the Pixel 6 phone when it first came out and it was buggy garbage. The P7 came out & those same reviewers getting affiliate commissions pivoted to trashing the P6 and raving about the P7. 🤦
I prefer your videos because they're not like everyone else who's just yelling and face smiling and seems like there's always trying to sell something for their advertisers. Please keep up the good works, thank you for sharing. 😊
Thank you Brett! I'm just trying to be me. Thanks for your kind words.
Great video and I love to hear your just a regular guy like the rest of us and not sponsored. Love it
I appreciate that!
I could listen to you speak all day. Such a peaceful vibe. Super helpful info, and I love what y’all have done with your camper. Definitely looking into these. Thank you!
Thank Lou! I appreciate it. I think it helps that I'm not trying to sell you anything. :) Don't miss part 2 of this series: th-cam.com/video/Tfc21ywvlGE/w-d-xo.html
I like the floor and pantry lighting.
Things I did to our trailer. Put a grab bar on the screen door. Couple of screws on the ends caps of my rear bumper so the caps dont come off.
Thanks Tom!
Helpful and you didn’t hype it up by flailing your hands all over the place ! (Thanks for that ! )
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your comment.
Just bought RV and new to the life learning a ton from these videos. Thanks
Thanks for your kind words! I appreciate it. Be sure to watch the follow up video where I show 7 more ways. Link is in description above.
Great job explaining things.Most video sites lose my attention but you seem very much like me and I appreciate your approach to RVing.
Thank you Phil! I had fun making the video and I'm glad you liked it.
I don’t own an RV or have even thought of getting one.. yet I watched start to finish lol.. with my adhd that doesn’t happen often lol
Thanks for watching ! And thank you for your affirming words.
My wife and I are new to trailer life and found value from your video. We used the mosaic tiles in our kitchen and bathroom and they look great! Thank you for the tips we just subscribed for more👍
That is awesome! Thank you!
Fantastic vid. Those were all useful tips. Love your sense of humor.
Thanks for your kind comment! I appreciate it.
I am originally from northern MA. Been camping since our honeymoon in 1977. Settled in Upper Penninsula of MI. We have had many tents, campers and RV's. We have now a 1986 Toyota mini Cruiser for weekend jaunts and a 1977 Bendix Aristocrat that we leave at our Lake Superior shore camp property. We revamped both of them and now cant see having anything else. ❤
Wow! That sounds awesome, Sandy. Thanks for sharing your journey.
😂😂😂 you hear about it huh? Thanks for the video. My husband and I have been camping for 20 years up here in Northern Alberta but I love seeing what other people are up too. Always good to get new ideas. I will be mounting some eye hooks for storage underneath. I hate my chairs flopping around.
Thanks Koral! I'm glad you liked it.
Consider the fire blankets, too, especially for the kitchen
That's a great idea, thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting on my video!
Lol when he talked about the propane running out and somebody saying something. 😂
Thanks for watching! Gotta keep it real!
Married guys know...
Enjoyed the video very much. So happy you have had great camping trips over the last 40 years with your wife
Thank you! I appreciate that a lot.
Thanks Jim for your ideas!
You're welcome! I hope you found something useful.
Great tips! Fun to listen to!
Thank you Katie!
Love to hear about long term campers!! As a child my camping experience began with a trip from Johnstown PA to Ridgecrest CA!! We had a 15' Hi-Lo, slept 6!!! Mom and Dad, dinette, 2 canvas cots, 3 girls (2 head to toe in 1, youngest in one above mom and dad), baby in a canvas crib, small canvas cot with 4 canvas sides attached to cot above mom and dad on 1 end and sitting on the pantry cupboard on the other! PortaPotty under the forward seat, below the other canvas cot! Pulled by a 1960 BelAire Chevrolet!! 1964!! I've been camping ever since!!
WOW! Jan, you've got me beat. I started with my parents in 1972 or so in a 17' Monitor trailer. I remember it had a propane light on the wall (kinda like a Coleman lantern) that provided light and heat!
@Jim Thomas the HiLo had a propane furnace. It'd cook you out of that little trailer! Dad would hang a Coleman lantern under the roof vent, on the handle used to crank it open, and light and heat the trailer! Great memories! The Gateway Arch in St. Lois wasn't finished. We waded in creeks, swam in lakes, and "rode" horses (my uncle rode the horse and hung on to us) in the south and Midwest, and used a flattened cardboard box to slide down sand dunes in the southwest.
@@janmoline Great memories! Thanks for sharing them.

Luv your videos, thanks for sharing tips and so well spoken
Glad you like them!
I'd recommend replacing any key locks with barrel locks. Keys bend or wear down and you spend time jiggling the keys to get them to work. Barrel locks are one way, the keys are sturdy and someone can't just force the lock with a screwdriver.
That's a good idea. Thanks for sharing it!
Great ideas and video. Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
The front door screen is awesome! I have a dog that always scratching the screen...I'm getting one!!!!

Thank you! I am not yet an RVer but am considering it to escape the cold Midwest winters. I am attempting to educate myself regarding RV life so videos like yours are helpful and appreciated!
I'm glad you found it helpful. RV life is awesome, I hope you try it soon!

Thanks! Watch for a new video or two coming out this month.

This was a great video. The outside is more my husband's thing, but I found the inside ones especially useful. I never would've thought of some of those and I can see where they could make a real difference. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Britany! I appreciate your kind words.
Thanks! Great stuff… happy camping!

What a great video. Love the tile trick and the 🔥 fire alert one we bought a second one for the kitchen but never thought about having one in the bedroom... so if there is a fire you ha e it one hand so you can get out. That's great!

How do you keep batteries in lil motion dark eye sensors in closed cabinets? Light
@@roberttaylor8261 Hi! I'm not sure I understand your question. The lights have both a motion and light sensor, so they won't come on even though the cabinet is dark. They also need to see some motion - either the cabinet door opening, or a hand entering the cabinet.
@@Seabee_Camper ok I thought just electric eye for dark? I like your Strip led light in Pantry
Nice job!
Thanks!
Great video! Im hopefully going to be a RV camper soon...this is great stuff for me to keep in my as Im shopping! Thanks for your time!
Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate it.

Thank you so much I learned a lot.
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching - more videos coming this month!
We have those same motion lights on our stairs at our house. They're great! I put touch lights in our camper pantry cabinet, but maybe I'll switch to the motion activated ones... we'll see. The one tip that you gave that I will definitely do is the fire extinguishers... One in the bedroom and one outside is a great idea. thank you!
Thanks Diane for your comment and kind words. I'm glad you found something useful in the video. Be sure to watch the follow-up video: 7 MORE ways... th-cam.com/video/Tfc21ywvlGE/w-d-xo.html
Good job!
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
I have those battery operated little lights. They’re great in the camper and our home. Great tips. Thanks
Thanks for watching and your comment!
❤Awesome Tips. Thank You😊
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the tips. I've been a seasonal camper for a very long time then 7 yrs I moved from UPSTATE NY to South Florida in my 5th wheel. I appreciate the tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for video
Glad you liked it!
Enjoyed the video, going to change my lights in my dining room. Didn't know you could do that. Thank you so much.

You I am on the 2nd idea the screen guard and you've already got me. That's exactly what I needed and I need these little bug things too. I'm thanking you in advance. And I'm going to subscribe and I'm going to follow you. Thank you for all your good advice
Thank you Gina! I appreciate your kind words. Don't miss the followup video with 7 more tips.
LED strip is brilliant. I am stealing that one.
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful.
Very good video. I noticed your bedroom door stop being high because most doors are cut higher than they need to be.
Thanks for sharing your great tips.
Safe travels.
Thanks David! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Thx love it
Thank you Kim! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great job. I don't like the thought of wiring a bunch of watts and all kinds of extra stuff. I would use whatever my rig came with.
Thanks for the tips!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Nicely explained and some very good ideas … you might want to look into 12v light that turns on and off by touching it. If you keep your finger on it , it dims or gets brighter … perfect as a night light or ambient / mood lighting.
Great ideas. Thanks Luis!
Very nice video sir, thank you.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
I don't own a fifth-wheel however I do own a 26 ft pull behind and some of the things that you showed me today was very helpful thank you. you gave me some good ideas NEW CAMPER ON THE BLOCK LOL
THANK YOU FOR YOUR IDEA'S
You're welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful. Although I have a 5th wheel, I think most of my ideas would work on any type of RV. And - we were all new campers at one time. Oh, the mistakes I made!
Hi🙋♀️🇨🇦❤️‼️Just subbed! From this one video, you video is really good! You explain stuff really well👍🏼
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank You
You're welcome! Glad you liked it.
These are all great tips. I have a little bumper-mounted grille and I still could not get it to fire up very well off that connection. I also like the pantry lights - I will need to do some exploration to see what 12v sources we have near the pantry. One easy tip I'd add, especially for spacially-challenged campers, is get an over-the-door hook for the bathroom. It adds more space for towels and keeps the mess off the floor.
Thanks! Great tip about the over the door hook. There's never enough space for hanging towels.
Dollar tree has a new one that looks high-end for $1.25. I love mine, it's great for my tiny camper.

@teresasanchez8853 Thanks for sharing that!
Better than FIRE EXTINGUISHERS…(I recently learned first hand when our teenage son had a grease fire in the kitchen.)
FIRE BLANKET(s) and a handy container of BAKING SODA like a jar with a lid Why???? You ask:
1. Quicker and WAAY easier to use
2. Less mess to clean up
3. Blanket doesn’t expire
4. Weigh less
5. Blanket can be used to wrap a person who is on fire
6. Both are much more environmentally friendly
7. Baking soda is something I always have on hand. So adding the blanket for home and and when we travel was double insurance. Note: I keep 2 pairs of gloves ( hand protection from the fiberglass) with each blanket when and if they will be used.
That's a great suggestion, thanks for sharing it! I'm not sure I would give up my extinguishers, but this is another layer of protection.
AWESOME
Thank you! Glad you liked it. I have a new video out with 7 more easy mods.
thanks for the great trips , The fire extinguishers is a good idea I havent thought about. I'll be getting a couple of those for sure. Just a small tip when filming try to avoid standing with the sun pointing towards the camera. all the best to you and yours
Thanks Jay, I appreciate your feedback.

I just found your channel today.
Going to enjoy some good advice
I finished up in NMCB 74 in 1998. Retired EQCM. Hoorah! Thanks for watching and commenting.
You are doing the propane correctly. You’re never supposed to have the switch over thing in the middle. There was a TH-cam video on that from an RV tech up in WA.
Great info… thanks!
Thanks Rachael! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I put small led lights on goose necks over the bed for reading...those lights are what mine came with and they were too glaring. Also put them over the recliner and the table.
Thanks Vanessa! I like the goose neck lights too.
I am having spinal surgery in May. I have buying a camper on my bucket list but I will wait until I’m healed. It hurts to put up with sciatic pain. Once the pain is gone I will look forward to camping. Right now I’m thinking I will want a small camper. I look forward to enjoying sitting outside around a campfire. I appreciate your video showing important things to buy. I will be camping mostly small thereby why I want a small camper that I will be able to tow. I want a small (micro) camper, one that has storage underneath. A bathroom with shower inside or outside. I kind of like the model with the kitchen outside with a pass through. I will save your recommendations and hopefully find them when I am ready to camp again. Oh and this will be my first time camping in a trailer. Before it was always tent camping.
We started in a pop up, then went to a tent for a number of years. We're getting to like our comfort more as we get older. :)
Awesome job !!! Thank you
Thanks Derek! I appreciate it.
