      Jared - have you abandoned the whole house in-line water filter body with replaceable cartridge filter that you were recommending a couple of years ago? If so, why?

  • @rolandsalazar9562
    @rolandsalazar9562 7 місяців тому +27

    Thanks for the info Jared. You, in my book, have to be one of the most “likable” individuals on UA-cam. You’re honest, sincere and genuine. I love your content, video editing and general “real-life” information you provide to the camping & RV Community. Thanks again and God Bless you and the family on your travels 🙏🏼⛺️

    The bug zappers are great. I bought a 3 pack at Costco 5 years ago (Harbor Freight didn't have them back then), and they are still going strong. I hang them on my awning and use them instead of the awning light to keep the bugs away from the door. Never thought about bringing them inside, I am going to have to do that this season!

    • @AllAboutRVs
      @AllAboutRVs  7 місяців тому +1

      Nice! Glad to know they have been working for you for so long.

    • @Capt9Lives
      @Capt9Lives 6 місяців тому +2

      We have done the same with the bug zappers inside. We have not, that I recall, have had issues with bugs when we sleep since doing so. We recommend it to everyone.

  • @pollybitterman414
    @pollybitterman414 7 місяців тому +7

    We love the bug zapper! We hang it inside our hybrid camper and love how we can recharge it during the day and use it at night!

  • @mikekyle-y8i

    I made up a tool kit for our couple's camper with just about everything from HF. fuses, tape fasteners, multimeter, wire, clamps and a multi-tool all fit in a small tool box. Very handy.

  • @rakereldridge6210
    @rakereldridge6210 7 місяців тому +5

    We use the water filter and the flashlight. I'd like to try the water pump...for water... and get the lanterns for grandkids. They LOVE having their own lights. The bug zapper in the camper would be nice. I spend a great deal of time smashing bugs on the ceiling before going to bed. Thanks for the ideas!

    Finally, the bug zapper has made it to a store. I found one in a Walmart in east Texas about two years ago in a display that implied it was something they were testing. Haven't seen it since and have wanted to get another one. The bug zapper does work, and I use the light instead of a flashlight inside the house. Only thing different is mine is orange, not black. The one unhappy feature is that it takes hours to recharge, but I guess that's a good thing cause it means it has a large battery. I can confirm I get at least the 20 hours mentioned here.

  • @cris_miko
    @cris_miko 7 місяців тому +2

    Ive used that bug zapper like you, just inside my rv to zap the skeeters before I go to bed. It really works! And that light feature is all I need to get ready for bedtime, saving my rig batteries.

  • @airstreamer

    I have some of those rechargeable pull lights. So far so good they seem to work great and last a very long time in between charges if I don't use them. I am very interested in the bug zapper mainly for that reason of having it up and running inside the RV. I have a large corded one for the outside but it's not feasible obviously to bring inside. Great idea thanks!

  • @dianadunham6691
    @dianadunham6691 7 місяців тому +1

    I bought that table a little over a year ago. The table outlasted the cover, but all and all the table has worked out great.

  • @dorcasowens8521
    @dorcasowens8521 7 місяців тому +1

    I had picked up a couple of the lanterns that pull up. I'm in Texas. We had an ice storm, freeze that took out the power for 6 days. These lanterns lasted the duration. I also keep one in my pick up and my bug out backpack. I would give them 10 stars. They are worth the money.

  • @poncho6784
    @poncho6784 5 місяців тому

    I’ve had 2 of the rechargeable bug zapper lights for two years and they are both going strong. I uses them frequently while building my campervan at night.
    Best deal for quality nitrile gloves, and definitely the best deal on zip ties!

  • @jamesjustus6568
    @jamesjustus6568 4 місяці тому

    I’ve had a couple of the small lanterns for our overland adventures for 3 years with no failures as of yet. I’ve gone through a few of the blue magnetic lights, not because the lights have failed but because I’ve broken them from my carelessness. At less than 2$ a pop or free during promotions I’ve usually got one or two floating around. Good video.

  • @ThreeDayRV
    @ThreeDayRV 7 місяців тому +1

    Great episode.
    We bent an axle while in Tampa on our TT. Harbor freight was 2 minutes away. We bought jacks, chain and straight edge and corrected it, for cheap!
    Great useful video.

  • @ShukenFlash
    @ShukenFlash 7 місяців тому +2

    My current favorite Harbor Freight tools are my extending ratchet and breaker bar. I have a nicer ratchet, but having the adjustable angle head and being able to extend it for extra leverage is nice.

    • @ShukenFlash
      @ShukenFlash 7 місяців тому

      I've got a box of those same gloves too. Great for if I have to work on anything greasy or deal with chemicals. I don't use them for dumping just because I have to really fight the twist locks sometimes and I've ripped thin rubber gloves before. I have a pair of waterproof vinyl gloves for that task that won't tear.

  • @KerbyDaFrog
    @KerbyDaFrog 7 місяців тому +14

    The $5 lantern. I take some aluminum foil and cover up half of it and redirect more light to the area that I want. Fyi

  • @kathyplate5526
    @kathyplate5526 5 місяців тому

    I have one of the bug zapper/light that I got from Menards. They are exactly alike. I love mine! Great bright light for when I have to take the dog out. They also fit down inside of the cup holder on your camping chair. With the zapper up you can enjoy a nice cup of hot chocolate in the evening without being bothered by bugs. Oh, yes, they are made so you can just wash the bugs out.

  • @rvgearandfar
    @rvgearandfar 7 місяців тому +3

    Whether you get them from Harbor Freight or Amazon those rubber wheel chocks should be standard equipment for all RVers. In fact if the big name that makes those plastic ones said "We know these suck and we're going to stop making them" I'd actually be more inclined to buy more of their products. The battery powered bug zapper is a nifty idea and I think the tactic to use it overnight to grab the bugs that follow you into the rig is a terrific application - curious to see if it lasts the summer.

  • @XLSLife
    @XLSLife 7 місяців тому +1

    I struggled with those lady beetles this year too. I vacuumed a few thousand out from between my slide seals before moving the slide in, at a couple of campsites. But no matter how well I got them out of every nook and cranny I could find, I'd still have at least 1 or 2 in the bathroom every morning, crawling around on the shower skylight wanting to get to the sun.

  • @Life.After.Retirement

  • @richis65
    @richis65 5 місяців тому

    A couple of comments. The table looks nice. Will go look to buy. I use the gloves when working on my vehicles. I have never worn gloves for dumping, etc. Never an issue. Have owned motorhomes since 1979. Water filters. I have had motorhomes with filters, but don't go out of my way to filter. Municipalities spend many of our bucks to provide good water at the faucet. On the same subject, we do not buy bottled water and use the water from our water tank. Refer back to 1979.

  • @JFSmith-nb8hf
    @JFSmith-nb8hf 7 місяців тому +1

    The bug zapper is a good idea for inside the RV. I wonder if it works for the no seeums in the Keys.

  • @FMTFXE22
    @FMTFXE22 7 місяців тому +1

    Good video. What’s your thoughts on this? While driving, turn off the propane tank. Then plug in the AC 110 plug into a 12 volt to 110 volt inverter connected to the house battery ( that technically are being recharged by the engine alternator) thereby eliminating the chance of a propane fire. This would only be used while driving. Could run a generator but that burns extra gasoline. And if one have Solar, that too on a sunny drive will also keep the batteries charged/ topped off and the refrigerator running even at max if necessary.

  • @JeanneLugertLadyTatsLace
    @JeanneLugertLadyTatsLace 7 місяців тому +1

    We have the table and like it. and it stands up really well to hold meals or drinks in the cup holders or a book or other items - like making smores at the campfire. We also have the black chocks and they do work better than the yellow plastic ones.

  • @ShukenFlash

    I have all of these HF products for our RV except the tote, and couldn't agree more with the utility. Some of the most useful stuff comes up as freebies or steep discounts are the things like bungee cords, zip ties, and don't forget the little lights that double as road hazard lights - every RV'er should have a half dozen of those!

    The bug zapper, don't have the HF one but almost exact duplicate from Ozark Trail (WM brand) it has served its purpose so far. Bought last summer when our rig was swarmed with mosquitos in the UP. Still working.

    That little lantern was a life saver for us. Not in the RV, but on a trip to do some maintenance on the VRBO property. Tennessee storm blew in and knocked out all power. Turns out their power outages last days! The only light we had was that little lantern. At night, we had to huddle around it to play cribbage or chat. Complete darkness otherwise. Needless to say, candles were purchased and a bigger lantern. Lanterns! Bought a few of them….

  • @kiwi2631

    On the pricier side; I use their solar panels. While I cannot attest to the latest models; the SAE connectors were crap, but since I needed MC4 anyway, I just replaced the SAE ones with the MC4’s
    Also have the 20 foot flagpole I am using as an antenna mast. I see they have gone up a bit. I bought mine a few years back on sale for under $60. currently $89.99)

    Those oval led lights are awesome. I wait till they go on sale for a buck or when they are the free gift for stopping in. Get a dozen of them. One in each car, few in the camper, each person has one in house next to bed for power outages. Uses 3 aaa batteries and they last for hours. Really good light output.

  • @johnbravy422
    @johnbravy422 5 місяців тому +15

    You and a lot of other people put the water filter in the wrong spot. When your hose sits in the sun and the water between the filter and the rv heats up who knows what grows. You want to move the filter to the side of the rv so its the last thing water filters through before entering your RV
