I just bought my first travel trailer. Thank you for the information.
Just bought our travel trailer from an individual. Nice guy but didn't show us anything and we've never been camping. Have been watching a lot of videos. Your video is the best I've seen!! I saw the slide lock in the storage compartment but didn't know what it was until I saw this video!!!!
So ducking π₯± boring
The best setup video I have seen so far. We're getting ready to purchase our first travel trailer and I have been doing a lot of research, you guys nailed it! Thank you
Thanks was helpful! β€
A great water hookup secret is filling the hose with water before connecting it to the trailer. This prevents pushing excessive air in your empty hose into your water lines when the water is turned on.
Hubby and I just decided to start looking into this yesterday, we need to move in 6 months due to his ship moving so I'm trying to fast track my research, thanks for the help!!
Really thoughro good examples keep it simple video. Cheers from Canada!!
I'm new to the RV world, I've been watching a lot of videos and I'm getting ready for my first trip. Thanks for the info
best video I've seen for a newbie like myself, definitely feel more piece of mind
Thanks guys!…Im a newbie to this and that video was great!
We have 90 Β° electric adapter on Rv, charge our water hose before final hook at Rv also charge water heater using pressure relief valve. Good information video
So in 2015 we bought a trailer and we decided to leave it at a place and in 2022 we decided to sell it because the roof what about to cave in and the trailer had wasps and dead bugs so we gave up on it.
Some initials called ems – minute to a minute-and-a-half… Device that can send out a lot of ems and dirty electricity? How do you block your EMF from a breaker box???
I don't know what a sway bar is.
Wouldn't it be better to hook the hose to the valve first, run water through it and let the water unkink it? Or is it too… kinky?
Cool
Loved it ! I found this video very informative for us newbies π
