Same guy that left his lights on all night also found out that keeping your black tank open was not a good idea. After a good hour calming everyone down and fixing the problem, the family did get to having a chuckle afterwards. I recommend this channel to them afterwards and hopefully they spent some time learning about their rv.

These are the hot button subjects I see on several RV sites. 1. Towing with a half ton truck . 2. Appropriate tire pressure. 3. Traveling with propane on or off. 4. ST vs LT tires. Cover or no cover.

The question I hear asked a lot is "what's better, motorhomes, trailers, or 5th wheel". This really depends on your camping style, and price point. There are pros and cons for both. Generally if you're on the move all the time to see the country, a motorhome with a small flat tow vehicle is ideal if you can afford it. It's simply way faster and easier to setup and break down a motorhome campsite. However, if you always camp at places for a week or more, trailers and 5th wheels may be a better choice, assuming you already have a turbo diesel truck for the tow job.

I would add that tankless versus tank might depend on what you are using it for. As mainly a dry-camper, leaving a tap running till the hot water gets there is not something I’m willing to do. My tank is pretty quick, and even that I don’t turn on most the time because I’m also conserving propane.. 😊 From my perspective, there is no unlimited water, hot or otherwise.

Adding a simple hot water circulation system takes care of this. We dry camp a lot and have the Truma which we love. I put on a system that with the press of a countertop air switch, a solenoid in the furthest hot water line opens for 30 seconds and dumps the water back in the fresh tank. When you open the faucet, you truly have instand hot water with no water waste and no extra water in the gray tanks, works awesome.

On the black tank topics. I watched "Changing Lanes" when they were talking to a guy that specialized in black tank repair. About toilet paper, he suggested Angle Soft. His exact words were "I never saw a tank have any trouble when Angle Soft was used". To clean the black tank, he used a combination of Pine Sol & Calgon bath beads. You add that before you drive to a new location. The sloshing around coats the inside of the black tank. About the type of truck. I drive a 2008 GMC 2500HD 6.6L Turbo Diesel. I picked an 08 so there's no DEF. It can tow a16K 5th wheel. My camper max weight is 10K. I am able to accelerate while towing uphill. Plus, I've heard too many horror stories about Ford Trucks. But in reality, I cheat. My son is a car nut (I am a computer geek by profession) and researches cars more and knows them better than I. I just told him I needed a truck to tow a camper and he picked this one for me.

RV Lights: Glad you brought this up but wish you would have provided more. Glad you are taking on difficult topics as some many would shy away from. If I may recommend, courteous campers should not their camping experience onto others as everyone camps differently, Therefore, respect others and their camping experience. Do not play music of tv loud enough to be heard at your neighbors campsite. Do not allow your children to run through or disturb others camping experience. And, of course, do not shine light into other's campsites. I always feel bad for those folks in a tent and are directly across the road of an RV that has those lights on the front. Just image that light shining in your bedroom all night. Ugh. I know I would not. Many RV's are insulated well from exterior sound and light (black out shades) but for the campers in a tent. They cannot isolate from the sound or the light.

Which, it’s actually really difficult to do seamlessly. I only have the experience of tent camping (a wannabe RVr, making plans for next year) so I can’t chime in on much of the topics BUT I just had to ditto two things you said: 1) The quote above👆 2) The RV community, as a whole, is epic!… We have had a few times where we were tent camping next to someone with their bright cap lights on and we simply asked them kindly (the next day) if they would turn them off when they were done for the night for the time we were camping next to them. Even those people set on keeping them on "for security reasons" or "to keep the wild animals at bay”, would make an expectation just out of courtesy! Come on folks, let’s be kind to each other more! Why all the controversy? Just do what works for you while being respectful to your fellow human, other creatures and this beautiful planet that is our home. 🌍 🌎 🌏 Thanks again Jared, for being a beacon on light in the RV community 💜 C ya in the next video 👋 😉

Cruising boaters solve the TP issue with a sealed waste container for it. We literally don't put anything we haven't eaten in the head (sailor's toilet). No, it doesn't smell because all the paper dries out everything. Trust me, you don't want to deal with clogged plumbing offshore in 6' seas! 25 years and the only clog was due to a guest flushing sanitary napkins, after being requested to not do so. It took me 6 hours of hard labor to disassemble the head and plumbing in order to physically rip the swollen plug out. They're family, so they get to come back, but the toilet is always "broken" while they're here.

Great content as always, although I would have preferred you to be a little more "committed" on some of the topics, but I get it. Who wants to jump in the middle of brand bashing?! 😅 I totally agree about right sizing of the tow vehicle. I try not to jump in unless asked because people get defensive very quickly. However, when it comes to tow vehicles, improper decisions don't just affect the owner, they potentially affect other people on the road. Sometimes it's difficult not to say something. And then there are the people who ask and get defensive when they don't get the answer they wanted to hear simply because "it's towed fine for so many years". When it comes to tow vehicles, the numbers don't lie.

I have to comment on the tow vehicle. One major issue for me is having a limited slip differential (LSD). Ford discontinued that sometime in 2015 or 2016 in favor of electric LSD (eLSD) as standard with locking differential (eLocker) as optional. Neither of those work well when trying to back a camper on wet ground (like after or during a rain). So I traded my 2020 F250 for a Ram. Lost a lot of $ doing so since I'd bought the F250 new and traded it for a new Ram 3500 (SRW). Still, a great decision as the Ram has no issues backing or pulling in wet conditions. Never do Ford again.

We just purchased our first travel trailer after 8 years of waiting. We got a Nash 29S and are so anxious to go out and it use it for the first time. My wife and I found this video quite entertaining as we don’t have a dog in the fight YET, LOL, cause we’re rookies. But there are some valid points made on many different topics. However, there was one thing mentioned about R.O. water systems putting minerals back in the water??? I’m a water guy myself, spent 20 years in the military using contingency/field deployable water/wastewater systems and currently manage a water treatment plant. I’m not saying it isn’t true but it’s a bit puzzling to me how a R.O. water system “puts” minerals back in the water it was designed to remove in the first place. Anyhow just found the channel may take a look a look at some of you’re other content in the future. One thing I’ve noticed is there are quite a few “KZbinrs” in the RV/travel trailer space. It almost seems a bit cliqueish.

Many of us purchased RV’s that don’t have blackout shades and either don’t use the RV enough or don’t want to spend $1 to 2,000 on them. Leaving on lights outside once you’re in for the night is ridiculous and inconsiderate. If you need to get up in the middle of the night to go outside, turn them on or use a d@mn flashlight. Numbers don’t lie for a truck’s ability to safely tow. So many people use undersized trucks which, first and foremost, is extremely dangerous to everybody driving around them and then to themselves and their family. The only 2 real controversies here imho.

No TP in black tank or rarely. I keep a small trashbin next to the toilet and put the dirty TP in that bin with wipes. And I take my trash out every day. I tested Angel Soft and it breaks down easily in water but I still don't put that much into my black tank. I have zero loyalty to any corporate brand especially auto makers. I bought a Class C because the towing issue gave me a headache. I only use camp water to flush the toilet and to wash dishes. I buy spring water to drink. That's it. Plus I am cheap. I keep black and grey tanks closed until I dump. As a camp host I usually have full hook-ups and I will pull the black first and use the grey water to clean out after the black. I can go 5 to 7 days with one person and, no, I use the camp showers I don't use the shower in my RV except for laundry and storage. I don't do any treatment for my black tank other than Cascade dishwashing detergent and maybe vinegar or baking soda and a flush because I don't like chemicals or the fake smell. If I am in the woods, it's camping! Woo hoo!

I actually did a test on toilet paper and walmart standard great value toilet paper breaks down far better and more completely than any septic safe toilet paper does...and it is a fraction of the cost!

Part of the issue here is that many states say it's illegal to drive with propane on.

Do you ever do any videos on RV Park Models? So many of the videos I watch end to lean towards the travel model. I'm hoping to find some videos on dosing things in a Park Model. Thanks!

If you feel the need to have your RV outside lights on, fine, but treat them like you would noise and when quiet hours start, shut off all the outside lights. We use septic safe TP, the same at home and camping, makes it real easy! Trucks, who really cares as they all seem to do the job just make sure you have enough truck to do the job! Which is for anything over 25 feet a 3/4 ton and anything under 25 feet is a 1/2 ton and GM has a HD 1/2 ton that will safely tow a bit more weight and length wise but again know your numbers and never listen to a salesman about what the truck can tow or if that truck will tow that camper, they lie.

Just to clear up a little; a vehicle is use to carry people, goods or items. So with that said, an empty camper would not be a vehicle. See where I’m going? Where as a motorized camper would always be called a vehicle because it will always vary “people”. Simply said, a motorized vehicle is an RV and a pull behind is a “camper/ trailer”. If we flip this we will HAVE to call a flatbed trailer an RV. ❤

Totally OFF TOPIC,,,, I'm hoping you can help with a problem. I have a 2017 Jayco Greyhawk, and the screen in my door is torn. I don't see a bead to remove to replace the screen. It looks like its Glued in place. Is there something I'm missing. Thanks in advance, Ron INDY
