I have tried for years, someone please tell me why to torn the breaker off when plugging or unplugging your rig. I do it. But why? I don't turn any breakers on or off in my home no matter what I'm plugging or unplugging. Laptop, desktop, cell phone, cameras, security systems, cpap, battery charger, refrigerator, compressor etc. Please please please explain.
Give away a free motorhome 😜
Hi: Great Video. I saw your slide out. We cut a slit in the swim noodles and slide them over the bottom part of the slide so the kids don't hit their heads on the end of the slide. I hit mine on them from working under the slide and it even cut my head.
Thank you! This list is perfect and just what we needed
The manufacturer couldn't line up the tank drain and the floor cut-out? REALLY!
Thank you so much for this!!!! It was just what I needed! I found that I really enjoy and trust your family’s videos!
My 2 children and I are 4 weeks away from starting our first journey and I’m thrilled and terrified all at the same time. We get to pick up our 2022 Amerlite-ultra lite 248BH this Friday!!!
Your videos have truly give me more confidence in my knowledge “on my own”. I can’t wait to go through more content!
Links used!!! (In the cart until we pick up our baby)😉 Hope it helps a little!
Thanks again!
You mentioned that you pull a tow vehicle. Do you think your unit would do ok pulling an F150, and what braking system do you use ?
Never Ever wrap an extension cord around your hand and elbow. It will eventually twist the wire. Loop it like a lariat rope with a half twist.
Holy mackerel you're a whiner
Wow you pull that RV with that car? AMAZING.
FYI that flush King will ONLY work if you have a straight shot from the exit valve directly into the black tank.
If there's any kind of bend in the sewage pipe it's completely useless.
Turn the breakers off from where?!
Wow! RV 101 and 102, and 3! Thank you, Blessings my friend!
AWESOME video❣️ Thank you SO much for sharing your expertise!!!
Is it safe to pigtail the wires going to a 30 amp rv receptacle?
What ever happened to The used class c rental?
Elbows are a MUST….I keep my hose connected to it for ez connection..
Random question, where did you stop when you were in Utah??
Really well organized! Great tips and great presentation.
Can you use a flush king on the gray tank?
How do you like your Camco (39742) RhinoFLEX 20-Foot RV Sewer Hose Kit, Swivel Transparent Elbow with 4-in-1 Dump Station Fitting? I was fixing to update mine to this but the reviews are terrible online.
DISCUSS WORK CAMPING.
I've watched several of your videos from your travel trailer adventures, Cruise America rentals, RV shows, etc.
I really enjoy the way you and your wife explain things in a simple fashion, also trying to learn from your mistakes/experiences in the past. My experience in RV life is zero, but I'm preparing to begin soon.
This video will help with my checklist, now I have to just "DO IT"… LOL.
Take care guys.
I've heard redundant surge protectors (built-in along with one inline between pole and rig) is not a bad idea. Thoughts?
I have that system and hate it too! I also have one of your other hoses and it works so well.
