I've been RV'ing for years now so I hope you don't mind a few suggestions. 1. Never hitch up or level the trailer with the stairs out. You run the real risk of ripping them right out of the mounting points in your floor. 2. Never travel with a full water tank. There are just a couple thin metal straps holding it in. That's fine if you are stationary but bouncing down the road puts a lot of stress on them and it's not unheard of for the tanks to just fall out when full and driving. With your 50 gallon tank those little aluminum straps are holding in over 400 pounds. Most parks will have a water fill near the entrance you can use once you get there or possibly a rest area near your destination. 3. Paper plates are your friend. You don't have to use water to wash them. 4. The light by your cable hook up is your antenna booster. There should be a small button on the plate that turns it off and the light will go out. 5. Your gauges lie. You'll get to know when your grey and black tanks are full by the sound they make. Fresh water always reads empty before you actually run out. I don't even bother looking at our gauges anymore since both the grey and black have been stuck at 1/2 since our trailer was 2 months old. They just are not reliable. You guys did great. Glad you enjoyed yourselves. And welcome to the RV world.

Ask the campground host you maybe able to use a portable graywater tank and dump it in the pit toilet vault. Have a couple 6 gallon water jugs refilling your water tank as part of your daily chores. Did this with a family of 5 for 10 days off grid worked perfect. Toilet use only at night should have no problem lasting for days.

@@adventures lol time always tells the truth for sure. Down at the gulf there are several places to boondock for free for 14 days so you literally can just go from one spot to the other camping right on the beach. My favorite is Surfside and Port Lavaca.

If you buy a generator make it a Honda inverter generator it’s worth the $
@adventures3 жыл бұрын
I’ve heard Honda is great bang for its buck. We are trying to do without a generator and just add more solar if we need to

Ive sold RV's for years and this unit doesn't look like a four season coach. Are your tanks heated?
@adventures3 жыл бұрын
I’m not sure what exactly makes an RV four season so I’m not sure that ours is, but yes our tanks and pipes to the tanks are all heated

@@adventures it is either rated for full time or it isn’t. Usually a sticker near the front door. Check to see if tanks r heated. Do u have a button on controls? Oh word this is gonna get interesting.

Hmm I’ll have to look into that haha but I do know for 100% sure that the tanks are heated

Yes we do have 2 5 gallon water jugs as well as a fresh water jug we fill up at the grocery store! We are pondering if we need a sewage caddy as well
