Traveling with 2 RV's | Both rigs BROKEN on First Trip!

[@DaveSchreiber-e1b]

I love the map shot zooms. Und die Frau/Machen ist wunderbar.

[@mrKeithGrayoldguy]

Just a little tip. Compression fittings don’t require Teflon tape. The ones with plastic nuts on them are to be tighten by hand. They have flanged ends made to compress into each others “ male and female” ends to make the seal. You well also need plumbers putty to put that collar drain down into the sink.

[@agelessrving]

I smiled when I saw him wrapping those compression fittings. I was like, nope it is going to still leak because that is not the issue, unless the fitting was not tight. Those drain fittings also do not need tape, just snug tight.

[@jeff67mustang]

Absolutely on your comments 👍 But, someone needs to tell him RV water pumps can supply 50lbs pressure from onboard water tank......maybe the problem is RV park water pressure and a sorry RV dealership. That looked like natural gas, propane teflon tape.

[@jeepsandrvs]

@@jeff67mustang I thought the same thing. Between General RV and Jayco, there are a lot of issues to be worked through. A local shakedown is always best if you can.

[@jimsuarez3107]

If it was easy, everyone would be experiencing the RV life. Your videos are both entertaining and educational. Keep making these great videos and be safe out there.

[@anthonym9452]

Thanks! Hopefully your luck will turn around.

[@discoveryboundrv]

We hope so too! 😀

[@Thomas-er2uw]

To power up your leveling system . You have to have the key turned to the on position and the emergency brake on. Or it will not power up. ( you should leave the engine running so the voltage stays up, the lippert systems are very sensitive to voltage drop.)

[@agelessrving]

You two and your family make our day each time we watch one of your videos. Your channel is my favorite. I have never heard anybody with the joy that Pam shares. Well, really, both of you. Pam, thanks for throwing all of us a kiss. That was SO funny! 🙂 I hope to see you all on the road someday.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you so much for the wonderful comment and great support! We don’t aim to make videos. We just turn the camera on and you get to see everything just like we do. Every now and then you get blown a kiss. 😀 We love to share with the RV community. There will be many laughs in our future when we rendezvous together on the road. 👍

[@victormendizabal8960]

Wowwww no doubt RV life is a challenge since day one…..all these episodes are gonna be great…. Thank you….. I hope the trip gets smoother from now on…

[@williamschaaf6688]

To add to safety and steering responce to your new C class.... have a Safe-T-Plus added to the front steering tie rods, and toss the factory installed one. You already have beefier rear stabilizers. I second the motion on having the alignment checked and reset the camber and caster to the high side of the settings. Made a world of difference in my Leprechaun class c.

[@wearethemillers1659]

My Viair bag got mold & mildew too! It was really bad and I had to throw it away. I replaced it with a 15”x9”x12” Milwaukee Pack Out bag. Perfect fit for everything, plus the bottom is very sturdy plastic.

[@discoveryboundrv]

We will definitely take a look at that. Thanks!

[@mjperkolator8854]

I have a riddle that would go along with the poop bag flying out of the back of your truck I’ll see if I can remember it and keep it on the clean side. I laughed out loud on that part of your very adventurous few days.

[@stephenpolos1689]

Good video 😊 so you bought a class c for her mother 😊

[@ifatola9405]

We've got a great Pam Quotable here, "PUT SOME BACK INTO THAT!" Tell that bad axle we're in season 5 now and we left tire issues back in Ishpeming! Happy Trails!

[@discoveryboundrv]

LOL. Exactly! We just hope it listens. 😀

[@cesmigs8502]

Love watching your videos. I’m so sorry you’re experiencing these issues. When we bought our Class C in 2021 our dealer MHSRV had to ask us to test everything overnight at their RV park to make sure everything is working fine before leaving their lot. It’s rare to have a RV dealer that have their own RV park. They have 20 spot with full hookup. We didn’t find any issues on our test. But we found issues when we travelled to Colorado which is a different story.

[@stephenpolos1689]

So much for quality control seems most manufacturers are all that way just saying safe travels 😊

[@marilynsgirl01]

I was just commenting that. Everything we have purchased in the last three years has been defective and cars are eating themselves. Escalades are dumping water into the interior through the lights and GM is saying it’s not a warranty claim. I am really curious to see what the build quality of this rv is. I hope it’s not the way I fear it will be.

[@danielellington8407]

Never never ask what else can go wrong! Ouch. Safe travels y’all!😘

[@joangosselin]

Right, the Universe hears negative comments and positive comments and you receive either or. Positive comments will get you further. If negatives fill your head just say 'I do not consent'!!!

[@davidhannan2023]

Exactly…ALL RV’s get a professional inspection. “Blue Ox on the Run” they have never found an RV yet that hasn’t needed things fixed. Many new ones with major problems.

[@patrickgrahn2238]

As usual.....love your vids.😎

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Patrick!

[@cheryls.6989]

Love you guys! We so enjoy watching you and how you just power through! Hope you enjoy this next journey. Looking forward to all the adventures!! ❤

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you so much Cheryl! 😀❤️

[@martyh4777]

Actually, thank you for sharing your experience. We've been doing multi-month RV tours since 2017 and been lucky not getting a nail or screw into our tires. But, your video reminded me of buying a tire-repair kit ASAP. Thanks again for your video.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Marty. Glad you got one. It’s invaluable. Just throw it in the rig and forget about it until you need it. We get a nail in the tire about once a year. Safe travels.

[@mjperkolator8854]

I seem to remember a walk through on your new rig. But I guess things don’t happen until everything gets used. What a crazy few days!

[@johnpossible6292]

Lee i dont no how you stay so calm... at least it seems that in the video. I would be loosing my💩. I also keep everything ready to fix a flat tire on the road including a plug kit.

[@ifish5409]

Get yourself a Yeti LoadOut Box to keep that Viair in. Sealed and waterproof.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Great tip. Thanks!

[@CFPVideoProductions]

You are the first guy that I have seen go through so many problems and not get overly upset. How do you do it? Maybe it is all in editing the video after.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you. We wish we were that good at editing. We just turn the camera on and you get to see it as we do. Actually, we enjoy the challenges that RVing brings. It tests our skills and definitely our patience, 😀 but it brings the family together. The only thing we do is add some music and post it. LOL. Safe travels! Pam & Lee

[@aprilbevis6109]

Where you going south bound on 65 going to mobile on Wednesday the 31st....sorry yall are having problems

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi April. Thank you so much. No, we weren’t on I-65. We were in Arizona. Actually, I-65 is a parking lot with so much traffic south of Birmingham. Most off the times we have passed through, we just shake our heads. LOL. Still love that area and it will always be home in our hearts. Best, Lee

[@jackpalma3590]

First CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉.. We have a 2018 GreyHawk 29MV.. We love ours. I did some mods and sugest a couple to you. A steering stabilizer, front Sumo springs, and better stabilizing bars. Also might want to see if your hellwig springs have been adjusted. I found out they do not adjust them at all.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you Jack! Great tips and advice. We will definitely check that out. Best, Pam & Lee

[@georges4562]

We just got back today from our first outing in our 30Z and with luck everything went well, but I’m not thinking it will last 😂 Great video ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jeepsandrvs]

As you know, all new RVs have issues to get corrected, and things break even then - but you are dealing with two at once. A local shakedown is always best if you can. I picked up a few replacement items from your Amazon store. Safe Travels Fam!!

[@ireneeickenhorst2326]

Enjoyed the video and memories of when we got our new rigs. Pam when we got our diesel pusher my husband wanted me to learn to back it in I could do the pull ins but not backing in, we are in a RV park within minutes several were out helping I was so embarrassed my sweet husband said we would try later lol and he backed it in. The 20 plus years we full timed never had a flat got lucky.

[@darrylt5300]

So how do you get a nail in the rear tire? why didn't the front tire get it 1st? OR did the front tire stand it upright for the back tire to get it?

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Darryl! Great point. Every tire repair we’ve had has been on the rear tires. I believe the front tire stands it up and the back tire catches it.

[@broncoblue399]

Good luck, your going to be a busy man! So that's how you get a mother-in-law cottage while living full time in an RV.

[@michaelkaye569]

great attitude! safe travels! Walkie talkies are good, but a CB in both rigs would be a better idea - you can forget to charge the batteries in the walkies, also they can get knocked off channel by accident then your fiddling with it while driving... just my 2 cents

[@debpritjay]

For being this detail we’re considering buying a RV and I’m telling you I’m so thankful you’re doing this between the class C and the fifth wheel because we’re considering both of these is an option and I’m just amazed at your your enthusiasm & coping skills

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you. We wanted to explore both RV styles and give everyone our honest opinions. However, nothing beats hitting the road. That's when the true test happens and you get to see the flat tires, propane fills, travel days, and all the rest. We love each of the challenges that RV Life brings. The girls get to learn so much and we get to laugh at all of our mistakes along the way. Best, Pam & Lee

[@anthonyreinke1552]

Enjoy your video adventures. We started watching when we got our north point in 2022. We enjoy the the information you guys learn as you go and the way you share mistakes most beginner rv’ers probably make. I recently discovered that Jayco has free rv systems training through jayco university and national rv training academy. As full time rv’ers this free training had a lot of good rv basics. 👍

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Anthony. Great tip! We will check it out and maybe soon you will see Pam taking a course. That would be a great time just to see the questions she would ask. LOL.

As always, I love your video and more importantly, your attitude about RVing! There’s a lot to be learned from you guys! I just hit the 11 month mark until I go full-time! Thanks for the playbook! Lol I’ve looked a few times to see if you have a video out about the casters that you put on. I wasn’t able to find it. Any information About what you put on and how you mounted them?

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Steve. The casters are bolted onto the rear bike rack/tow beam. We got them from Tractor Supply. Attached with U-Bolts. We actually hit 1 in 5 travel days. The last one was a few days ago crossing a railroad track. So glad we added them. We will try to incorporate a review in one of our upcoming videos. Best, Lee

[@Steve-n-Tango]

@@discoveryboundrv Thanks my friend. I thought they wrere as you say "epic" Rather they take the abuse then my frame.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Agree. I consider them to be sacrificial. If they get banged up, then I go buy a new one and bolt it on. $20.00 is a small price considering we hit so many times. 👍

Yea, you need the Engine running for the level system to work, Its going to use the engine generator to provide power to the Hyd pump. and possibly the emer brake on.

It’s absolutely a Mother in law suite. Or as we call it: the Oma Stube. It’s our RV, but Oma gets to benefit by riding in style and comfort. Also, we get to jump in and experience motorized RVing. Lots of fun. 😀

[@rogergraves242]

Do U have Punture ressinant Tires.

[@adriannurse1502]

Oh my! That is a lot of problems for the first time out. That tail pipe assembly is standard at any Home Depot or Lowe's. Why waste time trying to order one. Just go pick it up. All you need to know is, is the tail pipe 1 1/2" or 1 1/4". That's it. I seriously hope this is the worst of your troubles. On the auto level I would definitely check for a loose or disconnected wire behind it.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Adrian! You are 100% right! Lowe’s had exactly what we needed. Too easy. Quick and simple.

[@shawnmuzzey6200]

I’m not sure if it was on but you need the engine on and emergency brake on to use the auto level As always we really enjoyed the video.

[@joycereese9837]

Did I miss something? Why are you keeping the 5th wheel? There must be a good reason.

CB radios are OK but noisy. Good for talking to truckers. For a family, get a FRS or GMS (which also includes FRS) FM radios.

[@3beardsandaboss641]

What was the reason you got two rvS

[@discoveryboundrv]

Great Question. 😀 Pam’s Mom (Gabriele) retired in Germany and has been traveling the USA with us since last December. We call the second RV the “Mother-In-Law Suite”. LOL. She is definitely traveling in comfort. She will be heading back to Germany next month. They all have names: Lucy the 5th Wheel because just like Lucy the elephant in New Jersey, it’s always under construction. Then we have Maximus our F-350 Dually and finally Minimus the Class-C. Whole lot of RVs and a whole lot of fun. Best, Lee & Pam

[@timf6916]

A lot of information

[@KevinCoop1]

In a Jayco, you must leave the engine running, and set the brake before the leveling system will work. Also, I never use Autolevel. I use manual. Auto usually lifts the coach up higher than needed. Words of wisdom, take the Class C in to a truck repair shop and get the front end aligned. RV manufacturers do not align them. Both that we had were toed in too much and when a truck drove past us, it would make the swerve sideways.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Kevin. Huge tip and much appreciated. You confirmed it. We didn’t have a clue that the engine needed to be on or parking break set. We just laughed at each other. RV newbies, right! Best, Pam & Lee

[@ralphp3057]

Lots can go wrong! You guys know! Even better! Have fun with the Jayco !!! 😬just saying! 👍😁😳

[@CFPVideoProductions]

In most Class As and class Cs the parking (emergency) brake must be on before the leveling system can work. Please get in the habit of ALWAYS putting on the parking break on both vehicles whenever stopped and leaving the rig. I have seen too many roll and create problems. Don't rely on the park position of the transmission.

[@discoveryboundrv]

HUGE Tip! Thank you, you’re awesome! We read this and we immediately looked at each other laughing because we totally didn’t have the parking break set or the engine on. Once we did that, it worked like a champ. Again, Big thanks and appreciation. Pam & Lee

Welcome to the world of Thor broken and damaged Rv’s from the factory… Thor should stand for Too horrific over the top repairs. Never ever heard of anyone having good luck with any of the Thor RV’s … maybe someday we will learn as RVer’s to quit buying there junk so they will smarten up and build them better and quit cutting corners. We had a Thor Quantum KW, great floor plan and that’s where it stopped. Plastic basement compartments bowed and cracked.. couldn’t even carry tools in it.
