Wow. Your productions are really professional and highly entertaining. Great advice as well. subbed..
This is as my first. You two sounded like an infomercial 😉
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.
Thanks again!
I would hire you guys to do commercials on anything!!! The Mom & Pop show! Love u guys!! Stay safe, stay healthy, stay happy!
Hello, how are you doing? I hope you're doing fine, I'm Augustine from Nashville, Tennessee. Where are you from?
Thanks for the tips. Love your Elkhound. I had on back in the 70's and he was the best dog I've ever had.
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 UA-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!
Well done, We have been towing RV's for 30 years, and I found a few of your tips very handy.
I've never heard anyone talk about the surge guard till now. I'm glad I watched this video.
If u rv anytime U NEED ONE.
@Shekhar moona u probably to broke to buy a rv tho.
I don’t think you get sweeter than this video!! Thanks for the tips and smiles.
I LOVE your videos. Great pace, great info without any fluff!
This is so very helpful. I want/need/can’t live without any of it. Thank you both!
Hello, how are you doing? I hope you're doing fine, I'm Augustine from Nashville, Tennessee. Where are you from?
Mike and Jennifer you two are awesome.....I'm a pop up trailer fan myself but who knew about all of this....talk about experience....big hug to the both of you....be safe on the road
Awesome tips! I saw a few that I haven't seen on other channels. I will be adding some of these to my routine. Thanks for the video!
What outstanding tips! I’m saving this video. Thank you!
This is the best RV hacks video I've seen. Great job.
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.
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
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 :)
You two are awesome,I hope you have many many more camping trips together. BTW I like the hose keepers.
Subscribed! Thanks for everything you do for the RV community - this is very useful as we head out on the road for our adventure :)
I’ve been RV camping for about 3 years now and you just filled up my amazon cart. Thanks guys! 😁
I know, me too😬😅
Thank you for the list of useful items. I definitely see a few that I need to add to my shopping cart LOL
Thank you for all these tips! I look forward to using them in the future!
Oh man i love these two, thank you so much for this video
Y’all are adorable! My husband and I are in our mid 30’s and looking for our first hybrid trailer! Thanks for the tips!
Thank you for the details on the electricity and the water connections. That will really help.
Great tips especially the power conditioning surge protector! Thanks as always. Really enjoy your videos.
Hello, how are you doing? I hope you're doing fine, I'm Augustine from Nashville, Tennessee. Where are you from?
Great video! Quick editing, no rambling, great tips. Thank you!
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!
Excellent little tidbits. I never heard the term "dirty electricity" before, but yeah, I guess it can be dirty. I am glad I found you
I realize this is an older vid, but great info. Thanks for sharing with the community!
All tips are great! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for all the tips you two!! It's a learning mans game. That's riggin' baby!!
Y'all are great!! Thank you so much!
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.
You two are awesome and easy to listen to. :)
Great video, these are my picks in the south
1. Surge protector
2. Pressure regulator
3. Leveling blocks, 5th wheel tripod
4. Filter to rig, also brass 90 I like also with a Y for extra hose
5. Good shower head aqugenits
6. Big Berkey water filter
7. Sink strainer for dishes
8. Geo method, Dawn and water softener
9. Clear 90 on dump hose
10. Dehumidifier also monitor temp and humidity
I liked finding out about the surge protector. Plus the sediment from silty sediment problem in some areas. The pressure regulator was cool too!
RV'g is a learning process experimenting which products best serve your individual needs, and learning which products perform as advertised. Not all useful products are found at a RV store, but found in auto supply stores, stores like Harbor Feight, and dollar stores, etc. We all 'Live and Learn' thank you for sharing.
one of the nice things about 2019 is that we can learn from experienced RVers on UA-cam instead of from costly mistakes
You guys are simply awesome. I felt like I was watching a TV show. Great job.
Excellent info on all these products, thanks!
Happy Camper for the black tank is the best.....been using it for years.
Some good tips in there....thanx
This was full of ideas I didn’t know about! Thanks. 😎
These folks are very good. They seem to know what they are talking about. Hoping to start RVing in the spring.
Been using Happy Camper for a couple of years ! Awesome Stuff !
This is one of the most helpful RV vids I’ve come across. Thank you sooo much! Bless you both! :D
Thanks yall, great info..
Great video guys, those tips are things everybody needs , thanks .
Great video with RV accessories thanks for your time.
Quick connect on the water hose is a great tip. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your ideas,
Awesome info in a compact no-nonsense video. Thank you!!
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.
Love your videos! I have been watching for awhile now and have gotten awesome ideas that have created effective checklists. Keep it coming!
Hello, how are you doing? I hope you're doing fine, I'm Augustine from Nashville, Tennessee. Where are you from?
Wow you guys are amazing. Starting my RV living within the next month or so. Look forward to your videos.
Best advice for a surge protector!! Lost a 1000$ washer/dryer when we didn't have one! Thanks guys!!
I love all your tips and tricks! Very informative and I learned a few new tricks I have never thought of before! Thank you! - Bloggin Brandi
Thanks for the tips. I have gone out and purchased some already.
We just purchased our first RV. We're so excited!
Tigs_Time_ Travel Welcome to the community!
Great list of useful stuff- only knew about a few of them
Omg I just found you guys! You guys are absolutely adorable!!!
Thanks guys. Hope to hear you on the aie Mike, N2HYG Paul.
Excellent video thank you.
Gave you guys a thumbs up because you guys got right to it without telling us about your life story. Great product showing.
First time RV owner!!! Thank you for all these tips.
Very helpful tips! Well done!
Great video! Subscribed. (And I don't even have a RV). You guys do a good job with your editing, too.
I like the grumpy old man comments from all of the "experts" who don't have any UA-cam viewers of their own, so they come here to comment on yours.
I hope to some day camp next to you guys so I can ask all kinds of questions. Thanks for the video.
Comment: you both are an amazing couple 🤩 I'm glad I found your channel. My husband and I are in our 30s and want to try RV and we are not into loud RV parks. I'm loving your channel ❤ thanks for posting
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome aboard!
Thank ever so much for these great insider tips. Thanks for posting.
A great helpful video. Clear & concise. Many thanks 👍🇦🇺
Wow Thank you both so much for doing this video. I’m a visual person so I love you physically showing products and telling us where we can find the product and the price. Thank you. Keep Safe I’m subscribing
Hello, how are you doing? I hope you're doing fine, I'm Augustine from Nashville, Tennessee. Where are you from?
You seems like a real country girl
I don't like the pressure regulators you showed but I love the Happy Camper toilet additive. it is by far the best and I used many of the different additives made for black tanks.
Love your style! Keep up the good work. Subscribed.
When I saw your electric cables on the ground I had to comment. I let my cables lay on the ground some CG in the south...next morning there were millions of ants crawling all over inside my camper... floors, walls. It was ghastly! CG itself was beautiful...just so many ants in the south. I’m glad to learn about a surge protector... never heard of dirty electricity. TU
Where do you put them so they don't touch the ground?
I just got as close to the hookup as I could, but I wonder if those supports for sewer lines would work too, anything but the ground. Hasn’t been an issue anywhere but the south.
THANK YOU more great advice, very grateful.
Love your vids‼️
you two are awesome
THANKS FOR SHARING
Well done! Right to the points.
After I flooded out during hurricane Harvey I purchased a fifth wheel RV and I had never lived in an RV before. Nobody told me how high the maintenance was on these things but I have habit part for over two years now at the same place and I wish I would have seen some of your stuff earlier on thank you for all that you do out there. Living in the RV was a good experience but it’s time to Move on For me....
Unbelievable presentation! New Sub, Thank you
Very nice video. very helpful tips. I thank you guys for all your helpful advice!!!
Great video...one thing i use the happy camper product..works great..but i mix mine in a 1 gallon bucket. If you dump it in the toilet without mixing it up it can get chunky on you and not do its job.
Mixing it with water throughly then putting it into the tank you are good to go.
:)
That was awesome thanks for sharing.
You guys are awesome!!
I love we found your channel. Love your tips.
I loved you gave a price as no one else has. we plan to get an rv in a yr. loved your blog as we are in our mid 60 I worry about having time to enjoy the traveling.
