• How could I have forgotten to mention a pressure regulator? This belong's with the essential items: https://amzn.to/3tHSheV

• Awesome information and it’s put out in a way that’s easily understood. Thank you.

• Such a great video, and I love the end. Living life with Journey pics and fun, Love it!

• You guys are great! Thank you and keep it up

• Omgosh your boys went to culver?! I went to culver!!!!

• Alrighty then. I will definitely not get a towable.

• I’m terrified 😅 we are getting our first rv I’ve never pulled a trailer I’m scared thank you for you video

• The black tank valve on my Mallard is reliably bad. Every time I pull the cap off I get a little surprise.

• Great video! I always appreciate your video insights! Have you heard of the Bottle Jack Buddy. It's a nifty 100% USA made bottle jack accessory (for like $60 bucks). Powder coated and goes right on your bottle jack piston and then hugs the axle. Probably the safest, most compact and easiest way to jack up an RV to change a tire quickly.

• Great free video. Thank you. 😉😂😉😉😄😂😉😄😋😉😄😋😙😄😋😙😄😙😋😄😋😙😄😋😙😄😙😋😄😉😂😃😃😉😁😉😃😁😁😃😉😉😃😁😉😃😂😉😂😃😉😋😃😙😎😎😎 Gh H HH. HHH h

• Great info!

• I love how you guys talk about not rushing through things as well as not caring what everyone else is doing or what they think. It's YOUR journey, do yourself and not others. Wait, that came out wrong. Anyway, great video guys.

• Nice! Good info even after six years.

• Excellent information. Obviously you can't possibly cover every little detail. Otherwise this episode would never end….. my added two cents… The travel day departure check list and a windstorm check list. A windstorm check list includes all loose equipment on the ground. Chairs, folding aluminum tables, a portable satellite dish, grills, games, etc make dangerous and damaging projectiles. I've had my roof mounted dish come lose, causing a leak, during a thunderstorm. I now know to turn her off when a storm is approaching or forecasted. While many awnings have wind sensors, they can't see a 60mph gust ahead of time. If you notice wind, check the forecast and bring the awnings in if necessary.

  A cheap water filter is good insurance against sediment clogging things up and eroding seals. I personally would add a filter to a start kit.

  Cheers!

• Crazy the first "10 items you need" video was how we got started and your family changed us from wanting 5th wheel to smaller travel trailer! I think it was Summer 2017 or 2018 I binged on all the videos.

• Just found you guys. You both ate "Naturals" in front of the camera. I feel like you are talking right to me. We are Newbies for now and have our hearts set on an International Airstream. First, we are planning on the truck. This gives me plenty of time to go over your Videos…Thanks!

• You don’t have the built-in Ford trailer TPMS in you SuperDuty? I really like it in my truck.

• The most insidious mold in water systems shows up as a clear slick layer that’s hard to see.

• Where did you get the map on ur wall?

• great vid….
  one can go slow and get it right the first time, or speed thru it and make a mistake or two that will require more of the time that you didnt know that you had, to repair or do it over…. slow and steady is always better…. BUT….. when you are going slow, learn a routine, which will then naturally speed up the process. the goal is to make no mistakes while LEARNING how to be quick about it….. when one is slow and they have others waiting on them, is not good for anyone, so find the patience to learn how to keep up with other RV'ers.
  If you care to learn and have the ability, it will happen….

  the accessory "add-on" dump valve is a great safety against leakage from the tank valves, and can be even more functional than some realize…. when camping, the worst "normal" thing that can happen is having the black tank fill up at night… the accessory dump wont solve this, but what it can do is allow the main black tank valve to be opened a little bit, draining some of the effluent out into the drain line, backing up against the valve that was added to the outlet of the waste plumbing, which then frees up a little space in the tank for at least a couple more uses before dumping it.. it takes the worry out of the inconvenience of finding the black tank full when urgency arises….

  the black tank should NOT be dumped every day, but it should be allowed to fill to more than half full before dumping….. why?, because the solids that drop into the tank may not be be carried out with the effluent as its drained away, and as it sets on the bottom of the the tank without enough liquid to float it, it can harden to the bottom of the tank, which is the start of a very annoying problem that may get to be an expensive problem… in modern rv's, one should be able to go a couple weeks without any need or reason to dump the black tank…..

How many Youtube videos does it take to prepare for the first trip? 😜We have learnt so much already from the Youtube community experienced with RV's and traveling! Thank you for sharing your tips and experience! See you on the road in 2023! Bonnie 🇨🇦
