RV Odd Couple we have just purchased our first RV for our retirement. We need everything. We want to use your Amazon site but it appears that if we do a search for any thing not in your suggested groups Amazon leaves your site. Is this correct?
You are doing awesome!! 31k subs. Within 3 hours you had 3000 views. You guys are crushing it!! You have the right stuff. God Bless!!
Thank you Chandler! We are very Blessed! We think it's bc we try first and foremost to help as many as we can. God takes care of ALL the details😃👍💚
Great video. A few things that come to mind.....the tip about the door locks is absolutely fantastic. Same theory for the storage compartments. I am amazed at how many people don't realize most locks are the same. Another thing, using a 30 amp dog bone to plug in a 50 amp RV doesn't give you the full power as a 50 amp hookup. A 30 amp is 120 volts from the pedestal. A 50 amp is 240 volts from the pedestal. A 30 to 50 dog bone doesn't make 240 volts. I couldn't tell from the video if you have one or not, but a connection to hookup the grill to the units propane is a must for me. I have an older RV so it didn't come with an external propane hookup. For less than 10 bucks, I put one in myself. Bought a long propane hose and the grill works off the units propane instead of carrying around a separate tank. Can't wait for your next video. We plan on buying our 4th RV within the next 2 to 3 years. I will be doing tons of research prior to that purchase. 1 more thing.....apparently that 4th egg isn't going to hatch. That would make a great souvenir if you retrieve it, blow it out, and preserve it. Just a thought. Sorry this is so long, no need to reply. Keep up the great work and happy camping!
Good stuff Mike! My weakness in the trades is electrical. We are constantly tripping the 30 amp. We were going to move to a 50 but the Birds started moving in the next day..LOL Hoping this isn't doing damage to our electrical? We have ordered 12' ft propane hose with quick connects for the grill and new fire pit. Those little tanks are expensive and they burn fast. Just hoping that we get the same pressure because we love the heat that it throws right now. Great idea on the egg. Thank you for all of this😀👍
The reason I subbed... “be true to yourself”... you do that, are not shy about it and speak your truth. BRAVO! ✌🏼
Welcome to the RV Odd Squad! Thank you! Yes, there are many ways to RV. We don't advocate that everyone do as we do.
what does speak your truth mean?
In this case I was referring about being true to yourself and not setting yourself for failure. But in all of our videos we share the good, bad and ugly. Thank you Dave!
LOVE so many of your ideas...ESPECIALLY that grill & firepit! You guys TRULY bring good, pertinent information to your channel. Blessings and safe travels. LUCRETIA
I too will NEED.....a CLAM! I LOVE THOSE! 😄😄
Lol. I can totally relate to the backup camera. We have had so many disagreements and a few yelling about backing up the fifth wheel. Lol. Thank goodness we have grown and now the Class A has a built in backup camera system. When we had the fifth wheel it use to shake when the boys and us walked around. Bo matter how level we were. Then we discovered the wheel chocks and the stabilizer for the hitch. Oh glory days when we got them. No more shaking! Those baby birds were such a glorious sign God put before you. To remind you to take life slow, cherish each moment and that lifes to short and to treasure each moment.
Couldn't agree with you more Susan. The birds are saving us from ourselves! We were so excited when we added the stabilizers. The difference was night and day. Oh and the back up camera. We would not have survived this long without it! :-)
Couldn't agree more on the back-up cam. It is, by far, one of the most useful devices I have purchased for my RV. The model I chose even allows us to see behind us while driving. I just bungee the display to my rearview mirror and off we go! That said, I have been both an observer and a participant in the classic "backup disagreement". It's practically a right of passage for RV couples.
John and Mercedes how I laughed out loud when John was talking about the rear view camera and how Mercedes doesn't help and seeing her laugh and the cute banter between you two. Your heads nod at the same time. There are duos in this world peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, steak and eggs but NOTHING compares to John and Mercedes. Always keep your love close and remember it is your greatest gift! (From God). Deb💕
Every week there's one comment that makes us smile and feel really good! You win this week Pearl💚💚💚 All the things that you picked up on are the things that Mercedes and I loved most about this particular video. We are soooo Blessed to have one another and are so very grateful for the RV Odd Squad! Thank you Pearl 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
We just purchased a back up camera for our RV and we are now saving ourselves from embarrassment from the arguments and yelling at each other when I'm trying to give back up directions! That is so worth the money! Love your videos and I have a list written of other items to get from watching this particular one. Also, you probably already know, (unless you have a composting toilet), to protect the black seal from cracking inside the bowl.......drain the standing water in the bowl out first, then with gloves, rub a little Vaseline on the black seal. I've been told that it makes the seal last longer and prevents cracking and/or water leaking out down to the black tank. I hope I made sense on this but you probably already know this.
We can't handle a composting toilet. It sounds great in theory and I know they really work. But I just can't. Never heard about the petroleum jelly trick. Thanks for sharing!
No matter how many add-ons you purchase, it can never make up for purchasing the wrong RV. But with the right RV, it’s like putting icing on the cake.
So True Arthur! Thank God we picked the right RV! We try to stress the importance on looking at and walking on/in everything. Thank you💚
"...and we respond to the kind people." Love. It. Keepin' it real.
Speaking of love, Mercedes' necklace! 😍 Someone special might be getting one of those soon.
Thanks for another wonderful video guys.
Thank you John! Yes, apparently there are haters that have been patiently waiting at their computers for us to respond to their comment. We wanted to Kindly let them know that it's time for them to move on. :-). Glad you like the necklace. And so glad you enjoyed the video! :-)
@@RVOddCouple Haters gonna hate. Nothing you can do about that...apart from leading by example as you do so well.
The truth is that your channel wouldn't be growing if you weren't going about it the right way.
Thank you John! We're so blessed! :-)
As a couple, we think the most important product you mentioned was the backup camera. Why? Because MY left, is different from HER left. AND it's sooo worth the extra few bucks.
EXACTLY LOL...👍😀
That’s why we always use the directions of driver’s side, passenger side.
That's why I always ask my helper to just point whichever way the trailer should go and let me decide which way to turn the wheel. LOL
It's good to watch videos of people adding convenient updates to there rv to make things easier. You guys are great to watch and you provide a lot of good information.
Thank you so much James💚 We love getting messages like this. It's nice to know that we are helping others👍💚
After 40+ years, my wife and I have backing in a site down to a science. Back-up cameras didn't exist when we first started. It would have saved many a "disagreement'. #1 rule, stand in the back driver's side corner and remain visible in rear view mirror. Our glamping essential was a luxury Diesel Pusher with things like powered cord and hose windup and W/D. Love our Clam.
Isn't it funny how contentious backing up can be? I always stop and watch when a neighbor is backing up. It's so funny, especially when one parter is OCD. Luxury has definitely changed. I'm easing into the camping life. But admittedly I'm a glamper. Thank you for not judging :-)
I love you! I am a new subscriber, and I am enjoying getting to know you. I can't understand why anyone would feel the need to make mean and/or negative comments. If you don't like someone on UA-cam, don't watch. My husband and I are seniors, and are newbies as far as camping with a trailer. We camped for forty some years in tents with our five kids, and then with their spouses and kids. But a couple of years ago I finally had to declare I was too old, with too many health problems to tent camp any longer. A year ago this month we purchased a nice used trailer, and we have been putting the miles on it ever since. We appreciate all the great advice from full time rvers like you. Would love to hear more about where you are camping and your experiences as you travel this amazing country of ours. L
Welcome to the RV Odd Squad! I agree. I've never sat down to watch something I hate and said to myself, "this is horrible, let's watch more!" RV's are great for comfort. We'll be sure to include more on the places we travel too! Thank you Kay!
I saw a couple of items I plan to add to my wish list. I’m really interested in your upcoming review of the WiFi connectivity products. I work in IT and can’t be without internet access. Thanks for your honesty and “keeping it real”. That’s refreshing. Travel safe.
Internet has been our biggest struggle. We have spent thousands and thought had figured it all out. We have always been able to get a signal until this park. The Resort we are in now (just outside Yosemite) has been a nightmare. I am typing this from my truck 10 miles away from our site for reception. You will love the video that we are working on. I just need reception to test a few more things and it will be complete. The answer is redundancy. Hope this helps a liitle
How has your internet been since?
@@RVOddCouple did you post the wifi video yet?
Hope you consider this a kind comment. Good stuff on your list. We use a old Weber Kettle as a fire pit, if one is not at the campsite. Also have a propane one we use when fires are not allowed (we camp and boon-dock in Eastern Oregon) A good size outdoor fan is handy to blow the bugs away. We are always outside rather than hunkered down inside so a mister outside will help out on hot days.
Happy to see my pet jays are doing so well. Safe travels.
This was absolutely a kind comment. You shared your experience! Never considered an outdoor fan or mister. That sounds amazing. It's getting really hot really fast! Yes, your pet Jays are growing big and strong. We're so proud of them. And amazed!
The number 1 essential for a full time RVer is a dehumidifier. You make a lot of water and getting it out of your RV is essential. It makes the air more comfortable too!
I think your weboost antenna is too low. I mounted mine on an extendable painters pole and it works great. Having a weboost literally the difference between getting calls or Not getting calls when inside the RV.
We have heard this but never had a problem with moisture so far...You are right with the weboost but nothing works for anyone in the resort we are in right now. This is the first time since we started 6 months ago that we have no internet or phones. Brutal! It's also the longest that we have stayed at one park. We love the those Birds! 😂
RV Odd Couple I didn’t think I had a problem with moisture either. The dehumidifier ran nonstop for a week pulling moisture out of everything. If you shower, cook and breathe, you have moisture built up in there.
Your list was pretty comprehensive and helpful.
My wife and I are gearing up to purchase a travel trailer although we have no plans to full-time it. Our chief reason to RV is to travel with our fur babies (3 dogs and a cat). We don't like leaving them behind and RVing is a wonderful way to see one's country (Canada) or the neighbour's country (USA).
We have researched tow vehicles and the safe weights that they can haul as well as the extra "bits 'n bobs" one needs to operate an RV safely and to provide a certain level of comfort and security.
Channels like yours really do help and we have started gathering commonly needed items like power cords, power cord adapters, water supply hose, sewage hose and tools.
I related to your past video about letting go of many of your tools you had amassed from your sticks-and-bricks. In my case I don't have to let go of anything in any permanent sense, but deciding which ones to bring along for RVing is a huge challenge with overall consideration being final weight.
The baggage door locks being common between many RVs was an eye opener for me too. Fortunately there are solutions, but I will wait on that one until I have the actual trailer in my driveway to ensure I get the right replacement.
As for the Steller's Jays, I had never heard of them before moving to western Canada. They're a common sight here and their nests are all around where I live in British Columbia. It will be really neat to see the babies take flight.
Keep doing what you're doing. Ignore the bozos who are only there to throw stones. There's a huge difference between offering constructive criticism and being downright mean or rude.
Your channel is entertaining and provides valuable information based on real-life experience.
Happy that we have been able to help. There really is a lot to think about and the more you take the time to prepare the more fun you'll have. Watch your final weight and go slow for the first 1000 miles. Check everything when you stop for a break especially lugs. We love the Steller Jays. We had never seen this type of bird until we got to Yosemite. We are getting much better at ignoring the bozos!!! We pay much more attention to the Givers than the takers. Thank you David and Happy Camping💚
Lol we respond to the kind comments.😂🤣 you all crack me up but awesome list thank you
We wanted to clarify! lol. Glad you enjoyed the list! Thank you Roger!
Righttt haaa that was good
Thanks for being so quick to answer my questions and responding to my comments.
You are welcome😀👍💚 Thank you for being an RV Odd Squad Member!
I would recommend snap pads for your leveling system. Easy to install and they give you a bigger foot print with 2 or more inches of hard rubber between the jack and the ground. You don’t have to remove them. I have 4000 miles on mine and never lost one. Thanks for your great videos
.
Just ordered some! Thank you Darrell😃👍💚
Wow, much impressed with the clip of you backing that giant trailer into the campsite. Very high skill Ievel.
Thank you Stuart😃 Been driving construction trailers and boat trailers most of my life😃. This length was a little intimidating at first but I got used to it. Thank you💚👍😃
@@RVOddCouple I always have more trouble backing up little short trailers.
Your kindness and respect for the bird family is outstanding!! Blessings to your family.
Those birds have become part of the Family💚💚💚🐦🐦🐦
New subscriber here, I've fallen in love with your channel and your story! Been binge watching your videos while I clean. Thanks for posting to keep us stay at home mom's (who wish we could be traveling around in an RV) company!
Welcome to the RV Odd Squad Jenny💚 Looking forward to getting to know you👍😀
I no longer have my wife help me back the trailer in I just do it myself. Sometimes I have to get out and check trailer location 20 times but its a lot better than being mad for a whole camping trip lol
Exactly Louis! You get it it!!! LOL. That's how I look at it as well😀👍💚
OMG im going to be headed out within a few weeks, alone! Am really concerned about parking with no assistance. Not to mention im new to this aye aye aye! Lol!
Had no idea about RV locks!! Thanks for the info! A lot of important info. The past year in our RV we have been in a very secure location, its like being parked in front of police station here, and tho we lock everything due to many years in Miami, its always good to know that you can improve and do better! Definitely going to check into tire minder also!! Thanks!! You both look happy and 😌 relaxed! Looks like the area agrees with you! Have fun!!
As far as laundry, I bought a all in one unit had plumber set us up, being in a 26 Ft TT . So its in living area, but is a necessity here. I love not driving an hr to nearest laundry! Down side. It does shake and 1 load is 3 hrs!!
An hour to the nearest laundry! That's too far! But it does shake the whole unit. Not sure if you have already tried this but you might want to consider the stabilizers. They helped us a lot. Yes security is a huge concern! Safety first! Yes we love the area. We're ready for a change but so grateful to have had time to spend here. Thank you so much Carolyn. We appreciate your support and kind words! :-)
Hi you two! Another great video. You asked for additional ideas of what people might need, so here goes: 1). an analog (mercury type) thermometer for both your refrigerator and freezer. We’ve owned two RV’s in our long camping life, one a fold-down tent trailer and now a beautiful Merceds Sprinter (Navion by Winnebago). They both had to have their refrigerators replaced. Poor or incorrect installations nowadays is quite common, and we had the one in our motorhome replaced under warranty. You’ve got to watch your temps and not just assume these absorption refrigerators keep and hold the temperatures in the “safe zone.” We have thrown out hundreds of dollars worth of food when the temperature not only hit 42 degrees (unsafe temp for extended period of time), but when we found the frig up to 68 degrees! A simple hanging analog thermometer could have helped save us a lot of money. It seems the manufacturers of RV’s don’t always consult the installation manual...just install so it will fit, and to heck if there is adequate breathing of the unit and air circulation. 2). That comes to another item for the refrigerator: a couple small battery operated fans to assist in air circulation in the refrigerator. 3). Tire pressure monitor. This is especially valuable when you take long trips in hot weather. Pressure increases with heat and could damage your tires or even cause a dangerous blow-out. 4). Ice chest... great to keep drinks cold, BUT it can come in very handy if you have refrigerator problems while on the road. Block ice works best and lasts longer. Anyway, I hope these few things help someone (especially new RV’ers) with very prevalent problems. Once-again, thanks so much for your videos. You guys are a breath of fresh air! ❤️🦝🌲⛰⛺️📷💻
Great Tips!!! Thank you as always Virginia! We Love the RV Odd Squad💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Love you are giving God the Glory in the situation you have come across. Yes....God's nature is just unbelievable.
God gets all the credit!!! Thank you Mark💚
Keep being yourselves.
Excellent videos. Have been RV'ing for years for holidays, weekends etc and owned several types from popup, travel trailer and 5th wheel. Absolutely the best time with our daughters growing up. All set now with new truck and 5th wheel for our new chapter in life, retiring this year and look forward to larger trips. Many of the items reviewed are key, from a safety side the surge protector, tire pressure monitoring, backup camera and good quality air compressor are important. Appreciate the information on doors locks, have been reviewing to replace. Take care - Safe travel!
Congratulations on the retirement Paul! Happy that you found us helpful and entertaining😃 Safe travels on your new upcoming adventure and keep us up to date as you go. Hopefully we cross paths👍💚😃
Yay! The fourth egg was not a dud after all! Thank you for the great tips! I just filled up three pages in my “RV Tips” book. I’m getting tips from you and a few other channels that I trust, so that when we buy our Winnebago Minnie Winnie in a couple of years we will be ready. We won’t be full time, but we want to see this country while we are still somewhat “young”. Thanks again!
Hi Jeanne, The 4th egg never hatched. We only have 3. But it's actually a good thing. If it hatches late it's chance of survival is low because the bigger birds hog the food. And just because she lays an egg doesn't mean it's fertile. Sometimes she lays a 'blank". Minnie Winnie sounds like a cute rig! I don't think you have to go full time, but I do thing you have to take the opportunity to adventure while you can! :-) Thank you so much for the kind words. :-)
RV Odd Couple - Thanks for the info, my 54 year old eyes thought they saw 4 babies. Looking forward to more updates on the birds!
I love your channel! Thank you for your honest unbiased opinions on the products. You never know when someone has been gifted a product if it is really good or they just feel obligated to say it’s good.
Nope! Not us! We call balls and strikes😀👍💚
So happy I found your videos. My husband and I are planning on burying a travel trailer in a year or so after we retire to travel the country. I am trying to learn everything I can about what to expect and you both are so informative and such a joy to watch. Thank you for all the great advice and best to both of you!
You're very Welcome Sandy💚 Happy to help and grateful that you shared this😀
So glad you found us and welcome to the RV Odd Squad! Before you buy check out our Buying mistakes and Worst RV Dealer!
John and Mercedes,
What a blessing the both of you have been.
I’ve been a subscriber and a follower from the beginning and it’s no surprise how quickly your channel has been growing.
God bless the three of you!
Thank you so much Russell! God Bless you as well💚
These items are so valuable. So glad you shared this information. Helping us newbies learn as much as we can really makes a difference. You both are awesome. 😊
Thank you Laurel💚Makes us feel good to help others💚
Thank you so much for your advice and willingness to share your adventures! Godspeed! 💕💋
So glad you enjoyed the video! We wanted to share the things that we love! :-) Godspeed!
When it comes to backing up, I'm a long-time truck driver (semi and trailer) of 46 years. Backing is not a problem. First, I practice GOAL (Get Out And Look). Then my wife serves to let me know if I'm going to hit something by accident...no directions, just a shout out to let me know if I'm about to hit something. She also knows how to stay in my field of vision in the review mirror (driver's side). If I can't see her in the mirror, I stop. Nice to have the additional help while backing.
Great tips. GOAL- That's a good one. So true. It's best to just look for yourself!
So 13,196 views and 706 comments later I order a shark necklace...holy cow I hope I'm not too late!! Love how you did an "Essential" list AND a "Glamping" list - useful and fun!
Retired part-timer 'newbs' in a Little Guy Max teardrop here, and just when I thought we had (most) everything essential, you show me the splitter..."Honey! We need this hose spitter!" I yell to my husband - "Why do we need a place for 2 hoses?" he asks. "For a MISTING FAN!!" (that I don't have, btw)...NewAir AF-520B Oscillating Outdoor Misting Fan, 18-Inch, Black (Renewed). I guess I'll just start with the splitter...🤣 Thanks so much for your enlightened, entertaining presence and value to the RV community. Stay safe, stay happy and shine on! ~💜
Hi Stacey! Love those teardrops. So cute! Ohh and a misting fan! That's cool! lol. no pun intended. We're working on you order but it looks like it's shipping tomorrow.
Birds are growing so fast I feel like a dad and the kids are ready to fly the nest.
I know right? I feel like we did something but the birds are the ones doing all the work. lol
Thank you guys so much for making these videos and sharing your knowledge!!! I love watching you two together, you seem to feed positivity off each other... safe travels!
Thank you so much Janie! Appreciate the kind words and compliment! :-)
Thanks so much, we needed a good list. My husband and I along with our five kids are getting ready to embark on the full time RV life and your videos are so helpful! The birds are amazing to watch! Thanks for sharing.
Happy that we've been able to help Katie. Enjoy your new adventure and keep us up to date on your progress. Thank you💚
Thank You for your reply! It’s nice to connect with other people having the same interests 😊. You both bring a smile on my face. So much drama in the world. Breath of fresh air 😉
Great list! We picked up our first TT yesterday and will start the moving in process today. First thing on the list is measuring the length of the camlocks, so we can get the new door locks and camlocks ordered and be the only ones with keys to them.
So glad that Sage is getting the experience of seeing the whole hatching, growth, and then eventually the first flight of the birds. Enjoy your time in Yosemite and look at it as God telling y'all to slow down and pay closer attention to His creation.
How exciting! Congratulations. Yes, new door locks is a must. Sage is loving the birdies. She enjoyed counting the eggs and now she enjoyed the "baby birdies" and the "momma birdy". It's such a blessing. The birdies saved us from ourselves! :-)
I can’t wait for the connectivity video. I love watching you guys (you two are so cute together)! As new RVers, you have helped us so much. Thank you!
Connectivity is a big challenge for RVers. We're looking forward to finishing that video too. Thank you for the compliment! We're so happy to hear the our videos are helpful! :-)
Even though I do NOT like the "glamping" phrase/word, I thank you for these items. We have some of these but I'm going to show this video to my hubby. We're just get away when we can people, but these are great tips! Thank you! Washer and dryer isn't glamping, it's essential! Thanks for not doing Patreon! Love the birds. 😊
Lol! I think the washer and dryer is essential too! Nothing wrong with "get away when you can." All that matters is that you find adventure in a way that's true to you! Glad you liked the video. Yes, Patreon doesn't sit right with us. Thank you Helen!
As a retired couple living half the year in our RV for the first time, you've been super helpful. Thanks
Love hearing this! Thank you Kathy and happy to help💚
Okay, did you guys orchestrate that rocking RV imitation? LMAO! At least I didn't have a mouthful of hummus this time. Haha! You need to make a bumper-sticker: "If the RV is a'rockin' go ahead and knock. We're only doing laundry." :D
LMAO SR!!! We really didn't choreograph that move, but when we saw it we both laughed and loved it..LOL. We are so connected right now. Thank you for the laugh💚
What do I need to RV?! first money, patience, time, good humor and ice cream! Also I like the flex hoses when not in use they fit in a small space. I have one connected to my water filter connected to my inlet and all of it fits in the bay.. Kahy gets to meet really nice people in the laundry room in the camp she reads a book as well. Carnal ? Did you mean Karma? You do know if they fall out you can pick them up and put them back, just use a clean pair of socks on your hands and a hard hat.
And am rv
Appreciate your approach to your full time RV living! The birds were a Blessing from God! Keep Him in your lives, you won’t go wrong! God bless!❤️🙏
You're Absolutely right. A good attitude will make RVing way better that the items we listed! :-). A poor attitude will ruin your RVing no matter how many gadgets you have! So far the birds haven't fallen out but I like the socks idea! You're right I don't think we want to touch them.
lol John. typically Irishman sense of humor! :-)
You're 100% right Roger! God bless you and yours!
You both are very good at explaining things. You’re precise, and you get to the points without going on and on.
Thank you👍😀
Simple 2-way radios....help great for backing up help. Also when you are fueling up in line on the road and your significant other goes inside to get snacks, etc.....u can quickly communicate to grab something to save time.
I know we all have cell phones but not all areas have great service
That is true and we do have 2-way radios, but we have never used them. LOL Thank you as aways Michael👍😀💚
Great tips guys; thanks. I think you are dead on with being true to yourself and accepting the "needs" and "wants" that will make the RV life enjoyable and acceptable. I watched a video where a guy compared different wheel chocks and it was amazing how little the trailer shook with the X-chocks compared to the others; worth the investment. I can see basically all that you have suggested in our RV future. It's been cool watching the bird family grow.
Appreciate your feedback. Yes, we wanted to make this different than other essentials videos. This is not a "bare bones" to stay a night in an RV. This is "to make your RV feel more like home". We had no idea those X chock absorbed so much of the movement. Our only regret with those is not getting them sooner.
John & Mercedes, I've been watching your channel for some time now. I'm always impressed with your honesty, good or bad. We all learn from the school of hard knocks in some fashion or another. Unfortunately some of us have to repeat a class a time or two.
For the ones making rude, and disgusting remarks about Mercedes is guess you'd have to chalk it up to being childish pigs. It's a shame no one taught them any respect.
God bless and travel safe!
Thank you so much! Appreciate your kind words and feedback! We've made some pretty foolish mistakes but hopefully they save others heartache or at minimum bring them entertainment!
Oh, and appreciate your remarks regarding disgusting remarks. It is childish indeed! Thank you again. God bless you and yours!
My wife and I have been full time RV'ers for over 8 years combined. We're pushing a 99 Holliday Rambler Endeuver that was purchased in 2006 around the western part of the USA. It's been a blast seeing different parts of the country. I've learned a ton of stuff from the old school. But channels like yours have introduced us to useful items that we wouldn't of considered.. If it wasn't for UA-cam I probably wouldn't of installed our solar system. It's been a great school. Just know all of your hard work publishing the videos is truly appreciated and enjoyed.
Thanks John & Mercedes. Keep being who you are in your videos. That makes this channel!
Thank you so much RC.
I love you guys! I keep seeing your videos every time I search a new area of full time RVing. We bought our first RV (Class C 32ft) yesterday. And we are trying to get everything together. You guys seriously rock! Helping us out immensely!
Thanks for the video! Working our way from our toy hauler into a class A over the next 2 years and when we hit the road f/t we plan to have as much dialed in as possible by watching your amazing videos... Thanks again!!!!
Your comment makes me so happy. We wish we had known this stuff before we started. The longer you take to prepare, the happier you will be. :-)
E-Beggers!! LOLOL!
Y’all are precious! I’m so glad y’all stayed together.. it’s a selfish joy (we would have missed your sweet natures) but good vibes for your future!!
Hugs and greater success!
Hi Tamera💚💚💚
I'd say you were spot on with all of these! I had to laugh out loud at the "We respond to the kind comments" remark :-) I have most of the things in your lists, but added the RVLock keyfobs to my Amazon cart, and I added the Clam to my Amazon wish list. I love watching your videos as always.
We didn't want the haters that have been waiting by their computers to be disappointed. lol. So glad you enjoyed our video. Yes, the locks are a big priority. The clam is a lot of fun. Thank you Eric! Appreciate the kind words!
Walkie talkies! Must have for hiking, going to market, or backing up they cannot be beat. Also stop into an army surplus store and buy a John Wayne can opener. You can wear it on a key ring and they always work. Nothing worse than pulling in for the night and go to make vittles and realize you left the main can opener down at the creek. Third must have is mineral oil and baking soda. Mineral oil add to your batteries periodically and baking soda to clean the batteries when you get to your destination. Your batteries will last longer and keeping them clean is so easy to do. I also had the Coleman like yours but I also carried an electric grill as well. Nothing worse than having steaks ready and no canisters. Nice to have a backup.
Good stuff! This is why we love the RV Odd Squad! Taking notes...Thank you Greg😀👍💚
you both are the only RV life type program I watch. You're real and quick to admit you're learning too.
When I was in west Texas living out of my 28 foot Salem Rv for work “pipe line” I bought some cheap residential washer and dryer and had them outside and that’s where I did my laundry and would charge a small fee if some one else wanted to use them there. Sold them when I left after 8 months of work
Great idea!
Agree with all your suggestions, I LOVE the zero hoses and as a bonus last yr around Christmas I found them at Walmart on clearance for $2.00! I bought all nine of them. Lol
$2! That's a great deal. Good for you! :-)
Be careful not to drag them around though, I have had a couple spring leaks using for car washing only. They are more fragile than you would hope for the cost.
Not a 365 camper, but a new to the RV community camper scene. Thank you for all the good advice and ideas.
Your Welcome😃
Me and my wife saved for 2 years and today we paid in full and bought an amazing trailer and it's officially day one of a dream turned into our reality . I'm so happy there awesome people like you out there making these videos . I gained so much from this video. I was clueless about alot apparently. We will be posting videos to our UA-cam channel to bring everyone along on the ride
The birds! What a treat, thank you! I’m Prius glamping, so very different set up ! But...my most frivolous comfy item is my Neodymium magnet collection... especially the hooks w the 65lb pull rating they will hold up real weighty items even on the roughest drives..... Happy Father’s Day John, (maybe a bbcue fork for Dad, lol, that was so funny to watch, you must like the Adrenalin)... God Bless 🕊CJ
A bbq fork is a great idea. We have a bbQ set but we just don't use it. I think he likes to be as close to the fire as possible! lol. Glad you enjoyed the birds. They're growing so fast! God bless you and yours!
RV Odd Couple ❤️
When talking about Glamping you left out what I consider to be a #1 priority, a freezer large enough to carry ice cream 🍦😄
Unlike my ice cream cones, I enjoy your unsugarred videos.
I Love Ice Cream Anita! I have 1 (sometimes 2) every night...LOL. Thank you Anita💚😀
We are Newbies, and not and Odd Couple, but an Old Couple. We are both in our 60’s, and ready to hit the road. Love your videos...very informative!
Hey- great suggestions. Two more recomms for Glamping- 1) the Outland Firebowl. Very nice propane fire pit that can be used when campfires are restricted. No smoke smell, no buying wood, no fire tending; and 2) the Blackstone propane cast iron griddle. We cook everything on it- rarely use the propane grill anymore. Bacon, pancakes, hamburgers- easy to clean and store. We love it. 17 inch model perfect for RVs.
Good suggestions! Thank you Michael👍😃
Thank you for the list. I’m new to this so I need all the tips I can get. I’m glad I found you guys. I love watching the birds grow as well. We move so fast in this world and Gods creatures make us slow down and appreciate the wonder of it all. Blessings to you friends.
So glad to have you with us Clara! The birds saved us from ourselves. :-). This list has a lot of wants but for full timing, comfort is a big concern. God bless you and yours. Thank you so much!
I love watching yall......wish you show more of your daughter and how she likes the RV life.....Im about to be 51 and a Mimi to 4 grandsons...I am thinking about doing the RV life full time
She loves it. Bad weather makes her stir crazy but she loves the RV. All she really cares about is that we are all together.
Feel free to make longer videos!!! I’m sure the bean counter algorithm may not favor that but you all are great to watch. Love the authenticity.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed and appreciate the compliment. You know we keep our videos short because we want to get to our point quickly. We don't like watching videos that drag on and take forever to get to the point. :-)
We have a clam also, and they are fantastic. You would think anyone that camps and has ever seen one up close could not resist buying one.
It is good to see how much the birds have grown. It won't be long and you will be able to move on.
Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos. You both do a fantastic job. They are very entertaining and at the same time very educational.
We are looking forward to your next video already.
Thank you Jim! So glad you liked the video. You're absolutely right. We couldn't resist the temptation of the CLAM tent. They are so cool! Appreciate your kind words and feedback. Thank you so much! :-)
Love this video and once again appreciate your experience and advice even though we are not full time RVers and have a Sprinter Camper Van Class B.
Your welcome Michael💚😃👍
When we are ready to jump in And commit, we'll be doing it right thanks to you guys. Another great video. Thank you.
Thank you Andy! We're so happy we can be of help! :-). Just sharing what we wish we had known.
Hello! I have an older fiver and I installed a built in 30 amp Progressive Industries surge protector with the led display. This eliminates the need for a external surge protector. It was very easy to install and monitors the voltage, cycles, amps being used, and fault codes. The warranty and customer service is second to none. I may be looked at by others as not having any surge protection for my fiver. Thieves may pass by my power pole or be tempted to steal my Marinco pistol grip shore power cord! Lol! Best Wishes!
Awesome idea P J! We'll look into this. My weakness in the trades is electricity. Will definitely take a look! Thank you PJ😀👍💚
@@RVOddCouple John, I'll install an autoformer/surge protector with you! After we're done, you'll never shy away from electrical work again.
Hello all, I have a small weather station on my RV that I love. It give me some weather forecast, interior and exterior temperature humidity, wind speed etc. I remove the station when I travel and install when in camping. Washing machine is a great add-on. I have a small washing and spinner machine that I put in my bath. Some RVers don’t have much room. I put my clothes on a rack for drying. This prevent me from going to laundromat very often. Great video thanks for your time sharing!
You're absolutely right! A weather station or weather radio is a great idea.
Thank you so much for all the great information you pass along. I am enjoying the progress of the birds. I pray for safe travel for you. God bless you.
Charlotte, thank you for your prayers and blessings. We are so glad you are enjoying the birds. They're growing up quick!! God bless you and yours!
Thanks, guys! Love the bird update! God bless you and keep your little family on your travels!❤️
Thank you Cindy! Aren't they growing fast? Thank you for the well wishes. Good bless you and yours.
Oh how I can relate to backing up with my wife. She would stand behind the trailer and point, No backup camera, and she would point and yell go this way, OMG, I could not even see her. So I invested in an inexpensive pair of Midland Walkie Talkies. It has saved our marriage. I love your ideas, and upgrades, I recently upgrade my 5th wheel Equalizer and some really disturbing cheap parts used in the manufacturing. For instance the bushings in the leaf springs are made of plastic. I replaced the whole setup with a Dexter produce.
So True Bryan LOL😂 Mercedes stays in the truck where I can see her and I get out and look myself. Thank God for the backup camera or the marriage may not have made it LOL😂😂😂 JK Thank you for the laugh
Another thing to help out with your RV movement while parked is your slide out stabilizer stands. We have a set for each slide out and love them!
We have looked at stabilizers but we are running out of room for additional equipment. Happy to hear that you like them. Thank you😀👍
A must have for me when camping is motion lights around the perimeter of site. In NY a lot of these campgrounds have a big raccoon problem and about 80% of the time they run, nosey humans to. Also a portable ice maker because buying ice can get expensive over time. Nice Vid. Cheers🍻
Great addition. We've been shopping for exterior lights. We don't want to light it up too bright but motion sensors sound perfect. And love the portable Ice maker. Our residential fridge comes with an ice maker but if you're on an RV fridge an Ice-maker is a lifesaver! Especially in the summer :-)
Great list! Love all the glamping must haves! 😃 so cute seeing the birds all fuzzy. I hope you take your footage of the birds and earn some compensation and credit for it! Lol 🤑 what a great experience!
Thank you Casey💚We've already received our gift (compensation) Sage will never forget these little visitors and we have 6 weeks of amazing memories in Yosemite💚
Multiple headlamps, diesel heater, comfy recliner with side table and cup holder, solar and lithium off grid system with battery monitor, metal/gold detectors (number 1 on my list), registered personal locating beacon, hand held GPS, chainsaw, air compressor, cordless drill and angle grinders, generator, ac to dc back up charger for multiple cloudy day weather. These are some of my necessities and creature comforts. Another great video. You are all blessed to witness those little birds, I'd be extremely grateful to witness that. One day you will wake up and those little ones will have disappeared, I'd say less than two weeks. Enjoy. Thanks for sharing
Head lamps are a really good idea. We have ceramic heaters with the little one but I hear really good things about the oil ones. Comfy chair, table, cup holder are a must! Personal locating beacon is a good one. We talk about the tools in our Tools A-Z video. But I love your list. Thank you for sharing!!!! Very good stuff.
Mercedes and John. My beautiful wife and I just got our first fifth wheel together and plan to use it alot during the winter months to escape the cold Pacific Northwest. I watch or listen to your videos while I am on our eliptical machine and have only watched a few of them but have really learned some things. Thank you for all the information you provide, they also help provide a little fun and comic really during this coronavirus pandemic time.
You are very welcome Randy :) Thank you
About the "Zero G" water hoses . . . I changed over on 5 hoses at home, including a 25' one for the motorhome.
3 of them leaked at the connection the first time I used them. Made in China, and total junk! I'm glad I didn't
throw away my rubber hoses.
Interesting. We haven't had a problem with ours but that's good to know. We'll be on the lookout. Thanks for sharing!
@@RVOddCouple I too read the reviews and was disappointed, now I don't know if I should get the Zero G? Too, you mentioned you purchased a 50' hose, but your video shows you have a 25'? Which one did you purchase? Two 25' hoses are expensive, but too, you don't have to drag out 50' if you don't need to. So, did you purchase two 25' hoses, or one 50'? Thanks, Kevin.
Kevin Deshaies we purchased two 25’ mainly because 25 isn’t enough to reach sometimes. Absolutely loved the hoses at first. They were easy to store, wrap up and didn’t tangle. About 2 months in they both started leaking at the fittings. Now I use them for black tank flushes and a sprayer. They haven’t broke but still have slow leaks
@@RVOddCouple Cool, thanks for the reply, I won't get the Zero G's then, thanks again! I just purchased a 35' hose, it was cheaper than a 25' hose, go figure!
You all are AWESOME😍
Thanks for another valuable video!!!
Have a blessed day!!!💙🙏🏼💙
Thank you Kayla💚 You have a Blessed day as well😃
Second comment for tonight! Haha. You two are awesome! A) I’ll say it again John you’ve become younger! B) thank the good lord for not making women as shallow as us guys! He Gives us guys with a face for radio beautiful wives! C) I watched your “pissed off video” and I have discovered this issue as well... it seems fellow you tubers initially seem “yeah we’re gonna help and be here”. Only to find jealousy and punch down behaviors. The channel I’m talking about isn’t RV related but it was so hurtful to think “finally what an amazing group of people!” Only to discover “nope just like anything else”. Haha. Chin up though!! We got this! Build a bridge and get over it!! Eventually I find folks like you. Thank you, you’ve both made my month!
Thank you Tim. love the "build the bridge" comment. So true! Life is too short to waste. Thank you for the compliment. We appreciate your kind words more then you know! :-)
When you need to get down and dirty, a Marshalltown KB451 kneeling board is an absolute must-have. Perfect for wet or dirty or muddy ground. And a good tarp. Always keep a tarp big enough for you to lie down on. I've already used mine.
I'll have to check this out Erik! Thank you
Best video ever! You guys feel like friends even though we’re haven’t met! Just the fact you are patiently staying put so the baby birds grow shows you love and compassion! Excited the last egg hatched! You’re giving your daughter ( all your kids) spiritual gifts of Gods creation, the power of prayer, and living a life of peace and freedom. We long to RV but not sure how we’ll do it on a small retirement. We have a lovely home on 5 acres in southwest MT but we’re so far from our family. So we ask for prayer if it’s God’s will He will open a door. Do you know how lucky you are to be in a national park for so long?
Come to Montana and we’ll show you all around. We have 5 acres but not sure if you rig will fit through our gates ( we have after and electric) but there’s a great camp ground A mile away called Three Forks camp ground . We’re about 1 1/2 hrs to Yellowstone park.
So glad you enjoyed the video Christine. The eggs are growing fast. The 4th one didn't hatch. But that's ok. If it had hatched so late, it would have had a very little chance of survival. We were taught that just because she lays an egg doesn't mean it's fertilized. Sometimes they lay a "blank". As much as we're anxious to move we know that staying here so long is a blessing. Montana is on our list, just not sure when. But we would be so grateful to have you show us around. Locals always know the best places to go! Thank you Christine!
Thanks for your videos guys, very helpful and entertaining. We also just got the Clam pavilion screen tent. I think it will be a key part of our camping life.
We love our Clam tent. We don't set it up for short stays, but when we can set it up, we love it! It's so nice to be sheltered but still outside. And it contains the kiddos! lol
A must have for me is a propane mosquito fogger. It sometimes makes the difference between being outdoors or having to stay inside. Another for me is a Coleman propane stove where I threw away the regulator that came with it and put a fifteen pound regulator on a twenty pound refillable propane tank with a hose connected to the stove. When we are grilling outdoors, it is nice to be able to do all of our cooking outdoors. Those little one pound tanks run out of fuel far too often and they are not refillable. Still another is a tie down strap for the awning. I have one that goes over the awning and another that goes under it. This limits the amount of up and down motion the awning is allowed and increases dramatically the amount of wind it can withstand. Caution, when the sun starts to bleach the strap over the top, it is also weakening it. I did not think about that and the top strap not only bleached out, but it broke in a moderate wind in Florida this winter. This allowed the awning to flop and it tore back from the roller. Lesson learned! When hooking up to the campground water supply, most people say to put your pressure regulator directly on the campground spigot. I find that it works a lot better if you put the water filter on the campground spigot and put the pressure regulator on the output of the filter. You can get better and more consistent flow rate (in your shower especially) doing it this way. This has gone on long enough. There are other things but these are the major ones.
We always appreciate the time that you take to teach us Carl!!! All Great information Carl! We also use a fogger. You're right on those little propane canisters, they don't last long. We were told that they are refillable. We'll check next time we are close to a hardware store. We will pick up a tie-down straps for awning. Great tip on awning strap, we'll keep an eye on it. I like the wp regulator on the Rig side of the hose. I don't like the sun cooking the water in the hose and then not being filtered. Thank you as always💚😃💚
We placed the order!! Our 397 is officially being built! Whoo-hoo!! Thank you so much for this video. We knew there were a couple of things we would need to get eight away, (tire pressure monitor, surge protector), but this is a great list! And the birds...He is so good!!!
Congratulations!!! Enjoy and keep us up to date Ellie💚💚💚 God is Good
Great advice. Love watching your videos
Thank you Brenda! We love sharing them! :-)
Great video !!!! Could save lives!!! Gods grace,mercy and favor on you both and daughter and family!!!
Thank you Charlotte💚💚💚
Another wonderful video. Love that you’ve moved taping outside😊. Another must have is a comprehensive first aid kit. Especially if you are boondocking or far from medical help and or limited cell service.
We figured out that we can lock Sage in the Clam Tent right next to us to shoot video😃😃😃Great idea Donna💚 We do have a First Aid Kit but we never thought to add it here? Thank you as always💚💚💚
Love your videos ! great suggestions … we have the RV door lock and absolutely love it, we actually purchased it after our dogs locked us out twice lol and after having to bust out the locks we replaced it with push button lock as well lol live and learn lol .. also we have that same washer combo and LOVE IT ! it's so nice to be able do it in the rig instead of taking time away from seeing things to go to a laundry mat some of which can be very sketchy, … one thing I will suggest you get if you don't have it already is the Marcell monitor, especially if you leave your dog when adventuring. It alerts your phone if the camper gets to hot / cold or if the rig looses power, and even alerts you if there is flooding in the rig while you are away ...
Thank you Cynthia💚 We love the new RV Locks and having all of our locks custom keyed the same really helps. LOL about your dogs locking you out... one of those things you can laugh about now😂 We are going to check out your suggestion. Thanks again for being part of the RV Odd Squad💚💚💚
Y’all are so helpful with your videos! Keep up the info my friends.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy. Love your name, Bear lover. If you haven't already, you should watch our Birds, Sequoias, and Bears Oh My vid. We got bears in Yosemite on video. :-)
You are my favorite you tubers. Always learn something every time
From austin tx god bless
Thank you as always Linda!💚💚💚 God Bless You💚💚💚💚
I keep a space heater in my rig for the unexpected freeze. I put it under my rig to keep the tanks and plumbing from freezing over. You can also leave a bathroom faucet trickling overnight and the gray tank valve open. The water in underground pipes is just warm enough to not freeze
Thank you for the tips Damon👍😀
Love your videos! As far as glamping essentials, we love our portable ice maker, which is a must have during the hot summer months to cool our water down!
Great idea! We didn't think of this! This is why we love the RV Odd Squad! Thank you for the tip Donna💚💚💚
Love your video posts!
Lots of Great info for the important equipment needed to make Rving more complete . When you comming to michigan we have a beautiful State to see especially the northern lower and the upper michigan !
Hi Russell, I don't know but we are hitting all 50 for sure. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Like for example, What's the best month to travel to Michigan? Thank you! Thank you!
@@RVOddCouple gotta say ( sorry to butt in ) but when you're in Mississippi, don't pass me by....lol
Thank you Connie! :-)
This is by far the best video I have ever seen. Thank you
Thank you Marie💚
Love you guys!! I have learned so much watching y’all! I can now avoid some mistakes when joining the full time RVers!! I love this video! So helpful!! Thanks again!!!
I highly recommend a surge protector from my personal experience. I was a seasonal camper a few years back and a lightning strick hit an electrical box 3 campers down from us on our row. All 6 campers on that rows electric line had damaged except mine and one other other because we had surges. The damage on 3 of the 4 were so sever that their insurance totaled their campers. Like you guys said - you pay thousands of dollars for these campers and please just pay $200 or less for a surge. Love the channel-great videos.
