Spot on video! During the hot summer months, I remove and store in the garage, all liquids, sprays, tapes, sealants, and anything else that may be adversely affected by the heat, including cooking ingredients. Keeping these items together in their own storage bins makes it easy. I also dedicate a small bay just for road emergency supplies...Viair, road cones, flasher lights, bottle jack, orange vests, gloves, ground mat, etc. Don't want to be hunting around for these things while on the side of a busy highway. Another tip...buy a small business card organizer book to keep all your membership cards, discount cards, insurance cards, etc. all in one handy spot.

As a soon-to-be solo female newbie, I appreciate your videos like this. Will definitely get the home study course. Thanks so much. And if I’m not mistaken, your channel seems to really be growing. Congrats, well-deserved.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks and appreciate your watching. Best wishes

[@Rob-Oh]

Fuses are a must as well. Don't forget the "square drive" screwdriver bit. RV builders love their square drive.

[@GratefulGlamper]

👍🏻

[@pampire13]

We use square cat litter buckets for organizing our storage bay.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Great idea

[@timmyers3428]

Great content, I have been working on my RV tool kit for a couple months now and have it pretty well set up now. I will post it on the Discord Server when I get some pictures to share. It is amazing how quickly I can take care of small issues with an organized set of tools and a good assortment of screws, fasteners, and light bulbs while on the road vs waiting till I am back at the home base.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Awesome, please share on discord when you can! We

Great video! I love the part about carrying a spare water pump. Ours went out on us last summer and we had to go two days without water. Fortunately we had friends who had a new pump and tools waiting on us when we got to their house. We really appreciated that so much. Harbor Freight sells a air pump too for a fraction of price of the ViAir.

I’m selling my house now and planning on buying a Class A Motorhome and have been watching videos trying to learn. Thanks for all your videos for a complete newbie you put out some great information!

Thank you for these videos. Son and I are actually building a small camper out of my old trailer and I'm using some of these tips that can work for it.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Awesome!

[@luciastan64]

Love your videos! I’ll also be a solo female on the road and actually I’ve been planning on the home course for a little over a year and want to take the inspected course to run my own business. But first I need to get my youngest graduated in 2023. A lot to do before then so I’ll keep watching these awesome videos. Safe travels, you guys!

Great video! I agree with everything except carrying an extra oil filter. I used to be a mechanic in my younger days, drove a big rig for 8 years, and now I've been an engineer for over 30 years. As long as you change your oil on schedule, an oil filter won't fix any issue. Diesel motors are sensitive to low oil but all you have to do is add oil. The only way you would have to immediately change your oil filter is if it gets damaged. Which will never happen. Not sure if you mentioned it but carry a lot of different ratings of fuses, wire, and terminating tools. Used that several times while on the road. By the way I too have an older diesel pusher. 2002 Alfa See Ya with the same chassis and motor your does. :)

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks for the tips!

[@CherleyGrogg]

Are the inflatable kayaks sturdy? We are thinking of getting one.

[@GratefulGlamper]

They are! We’ve had ours for several years now and love them.

[@hollybelles1]

If you use the drop in Unique tablets do you also need the liquid to digest the contents of the black tank?

[@GratefulGlamper]

You don’t need both but we do occasionally use both to keep things clog free

[@jimdavis8726]

I took the same RV course and you are going to love it

As a full timer, we have to do this at least bimonthly! Wish we could make it to biannually!

Can you please talk about the inflatable kayaks? We are trying to decide on purchasing a kayak.

Ive said before, I have an 700sq ft apt. Same as an rv, it just doesn't move. I use those IKEA bags for EVERYTHING!!! organizing and removing. Take them to store and put your new purchases in to make sure they will fit into the space you have at home. No more buying too much

How about if you're over the weight limit

I am a certified tech thanks to the NRVTA and I started out with the hime study course. It's well worth the time.

[@lindabourketempleton4040]

Anyone do this type of thing for small vehicles

[@RD-qc3eb]

If you're full-time RVr and have a storage unit and having this organization issue as described in this video as well. You got a deeper issue. Pack rat. Storage items are weather dependant items, tools, personal survival equipment/gear and parts for repairs. All that can be kept in your trailer in an organized manner. Save money and purge.

[@RickandDarcirvadventures]

Our biggest thing is not what we want to take but what we can take so we are not over weight. We will NOT travel over weight. We did some safety add on’s and that take away from our ccc.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Yep, gotta watch the weight. Thanks for watching

Have you ever seen a pinball machine or arcade game on a bus or rv?

[@GratefulGlamper]

We’ve not, do you have one?

[@Pauls-World]

@@GratefulGlamper Yes, I collect pinball machines and arcade games. I bought a 1961 GMC bus converted into a class A. I’m thinking about putting a Centipede on the bus.

[@hollikemmer563]

Please be very careful with the telescoping ladders. A local home inspector used one all the time until one day it collapsed and he fell and hit his head on a concrete planter! He was in a coma for a month with a traumatic brain injury and to this day still has cognitive issues. These ladders are not what they’re cracked up to be and can be very dangerous. Stay safe!!

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Christine-lr6eu]

Gorilla tape rules! Can’t live without it either at home or on the road.

I don't think the Ikea bags are not meant to be taken from the store.

Too much stuff to carry. Van lifers would need to whittle down the stuff quite a bit.

[@wetspotswimwear1199]

90 % are doing this wrong....? 90%... 9 out of 10 are doing it wrong... OR...maybe 90% are doing it right and the 10% are doing it wrong. Yeah, that sounds more accurate
