Discover WORLD'S LARGEST in our Salt Lake City visit! RV Newbie Mistakes and More.

[@rebeladventures2887]

Morning! We follow several big name RV channels but we like yours the best and here is why. You are showing what every newbie RVer has gone through making mistakes and learning from them. Every video you do you are getting better and better. Never be ashamed or embarrassed about making mistakes because that is how we learn and get better. You would think we are RVers but we are not. After watching a ton of KZbin videos we decided that it was not for us but still love to watch all the adventures, good and bad. Hang in there and keep pumping content out!!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Good Morning Rebel Adventures! Every comment our family receives makes all of us smile and we are very thankful. Every now and then we get a comment like yours that makes our whole day brighter. Thank you for the wonderful message! We don't try to be the best and we don't try to tell others how to do it. Most of the time we can't find our own water hoses or leveling blocks. We like to show everyone that it's ok NOT to have the answers and more important to relax and work together. Welcome to RVing. :) The traveling and adventurous spirit connects us all! Can't wait to see more of the Rebel Adventures. Maximus (F-350) needs a bunch of upgrades but he's hanging in there. LOL. All the best from all of us here. Travel safe out there!

Any time you want to use your truck slid in hitch block for your bike rack you go to the bike rack manufacturer to get the right pin locking system so that when you slide the male end of your bike hitch, into the female recover of your truck hitch block it will lock in. You slide it in, line up the holes, one side have a screw thread, you tighten down with a socket wrench, and use the key like provided! You will need a locking system to prevent anyone from taking the bikes off the racks.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Huge tip! Thanks Peter.

Fabulous Family time You guys are amazing

Thank you! :)

[@petermichelson3865]

Thanks for sharing your awesome videos & life on the road! Bravo Zulu for your Amazing Wife becoming a U.S. Citizen!!! I live watching y’all videos! Learning so much! To save money so you have the money you save to put into fuel, food, and happy time, and especially up keep, limit your purchases at camping world! They are twice the amount of what you can get stuff for else where! How do you find your current dually when driving the jacked up roads of America? What would you change if you could?

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Peter! Thank you so much! Whether you have plenty of money or not, keeping a budget is key to full time RVing. It’s so easy to spend excessively when you first start. We call it the “Treat Yourself” phase. Campfires and Brunches. LOL. Maximus is a road master! Rough roads aren’t that big of a deal, but driving over 70-75 mph without a load will start to shake progressively. The dually is torque heavy and really smooths out when towing. Actually, the rough roads take their toll on the RV. We have plenty of damage due to things falling out, including the fridge, once we arrive and open up the slides. If we had to change anything, it would be changing to an F-450 for better turning radius. In the 350, it is very difficult to make sharp turns with the truck being so big. We only tow the RV every now and then, but we explore the local areas all the time. The other thing we would change is starting sooner. We love the RV Community and traveling America. Hope this helps. Best, Pam & Lee

wish I'd followed you when you were in Mt Home, I retried here and am about a year into our camper and hoping to hit the road for some true retirement. really enjoying your channel.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Tom! We had a blast in Mt. Home, Idaho. It wasn’t too far from Boise, Ketchum, and the dunes. The summer heat caught us off guard but we will definitely circle back to Idaho again. We didn’t get enough Twin Falls time under our belt. Congratulations on your retirement and welcome to the RV Lifestyle. The road is definitely calling. Don’t stay too much longer in that area or you’ll get snowed in. LOL. Have fun and be safe out there. All the best, Pam & Lee.

Enjoyed again ! Y’all crack me up ! Fun on the road !! Stay safe !!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Perry! That was a lot of first's for us. First window down, first T-Rex, first military base Fam Camp, and even the whole not finding a lube plate first. RVing is definitely a strange and fun adventure. All the best!

[@kevincameron8437]

We’re picking up our 5th wheel this Friday, so thanks for remind me to order my lube plate! Next day delivery from Amazon! And that’s a nice looking fam camp at Hill. Thanks for sharing

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hey CornDog! What type of Rig did you get? We can't wait to hear more about it. So exciting. Lee says your checklist will never be perfect and don't overpack! :) LOL. The girls are all sending you their best wishes for your upcoming camping trip. Looking forward to seeing the pics.

[@whit10mm72]

7:55 LOL! LOVE yall!

[@discoveryboundrv]

You're the Best!! :) We love showing people what "actually" happens when RVing. Pam LOVES her level and always says that is the only part of the outside setup she does, but it's the most important. We might let the girls decorate and paint it for her as a surprise. You know what, that's a great idea! We are totally going to do that. :)

[@bryonnewby5474]

We use the level mate Pro. You connect it to your phone. We pull into the park, I turn it on and connect my phone. It shows me how much left to right I am off and front to back. Works great. When I pull into the spot it lets me get close to level before we use boards or levelers. Love it.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hey Bryon! Thanks for the review. We are definitely getting that installed here soon. It's so useful. It might not be a Day #1 item, but it sure is a Day #2 item.

[@perrywillingham9109]

That sign that u saw on the electric fence at camping world our family company prints those signs ! Crazy to see one u tube !!🤪🤪

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hey Perry, That is such a wild and wonderful coincidence! Who would have thought that a random fence sign in Salt Lake City viewed on some random KZbin RV channel would come full circle. How awesome is that! We still talk about that 7k Volt fence. That was either one bad neighborhood or they had a bunch of REALLY expensive RV's back there. LOL. Either way, I'm not touching that fence. Thanks to your sign! :)

[@tomblackburn9233]

Instead of checking for level on a piece of trim I just put the level on the side of the camper and check for plum lot easier

[@discoveryboundrv]

That is so hilarious. Lee tells me that all of the time. He says I’m making it harder on myself and I should just level it up and look. I guess it never clicked until you just mentioned it. LOL. Thanks!! 👍

[@ireneeickenhorst2326]

That North Point trailer sales would have been a good place to look for lube plate they sometimes keep parts. I love Salt Lake City, part of my family lived there awhen we visited they took us to the copper mine was awesome. I always thought it looked so clean but have not been there in years. I love the big sister takes care of little sis. We tried to avoid Camping World always spent to much money LOL.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hey Irene! You said it best, Camping World is definitely expensive. We found that we go to Camping World only when we have too. Like when we don't have a Lube Plate. :) It's so amazing that you have been to the Copper mine. We were so excited to visit the area. It is on our list of things to do when we go back. Sophia is so sweet and she is such a wonderful big sister. You can totally see that on the videos. So cute!

[@darrylt5300]

I use one of these to give me a idea how many blocks I need Rhino Storm RVLevelerPRO, Wireless Vehicle Leveling System Fit for RVs, Campers, Trailers, 5th Wheels, Smart RV Leveler for Android & iOS

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Darryl! We have been to a LOT of RV parks in our travels and the digital leveling systems can help 100% of the time. It's so funny that the Rig has to be level before you level it. We are still trying to figure out how far away from level we can be before we get an "Excessive Slope" error. We are definitely going to look into the Rhino Storm. We were looking at the Level Mate Pro as well. Thanks for the feedback. Very well received and appreciated!

[@darrylt5300]

@@discoveryboundrv I have the 6 point auto leveling on my 5th wheel but I like to get the side to side level with blocks if I am staying more then one or two days because I don't like the tires off the ground so I have both Level Mate Pro and plugged into USB and I have the levelerpro I know over kill . and for front to back I carry 6"x6" wood blocks and two Anderson cone blocks so the front jack don't get over extended to give you the error

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Darryl. We do the same thing. We don’t like to over-extend the stabilizers and we use wood to keep the weight of the rig on the tires. We Definitely need to bump up the LevelMate Pro on our priority list. 😀👍

[@slalomking]

Our Camping World near ST Louis, MO has a 7000V fence around it.

[@thomasbumgardner6970]

I’m not sure what is going on but lube plates have been in short supply in the Midwest too.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Thomas. That's crazy. We thought it was just our bad luck. Now we know it really is a shortage on lube plates. Make sure to stock up. We don't change them that often, but when you need one you don't want to hunt for it. :) Thanks for the feedback and travel safe out there.

[@howardwatts4238]

Story, once a long time ago wife and i was in orlando camping world just as computers were being hook up at cash regesters. We were in line did not have a 5th wheel. Was buying some things the cleark was reading off what we were buying. Now we had a 42 gal blue boy. And some other stuff. We lived on the road. She got the tank and said 5th wheel lobe plate. I said no that a waste tank much more money the lube plate was about 4.95 then, she said very posatively totad its a 5th wheel lube plate thats what the computer says it is, never argue with the computer its always right. So we paid for our lube plate and left now everyone in the lines heard what was said and was laughing.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Howard. Great story! "Never argue with technology"! LOL. :) Love it. Having a sense of humor is the best part of RVing. Thanks for sharing and travel safe!

[@cadenschmidt319]

By KZbin starts, Do you mean you started your channel there? I’m confused 😂

[@twbelieves]

Look into getting snap pads. Saves lots of time and you don’t have to carry around the wood blocks and stuff.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Tom! Great tip! 👍 Snap Pads have been on our list for a while now….but they are pricey. Every time we think we’re ready, our funds get “reallocated”. LOL.

[@gerardsudan292]

Either a lot of RVers throw away their lube plates or the makers think " Nah no one is gonna throw away this, it's to important " But along comes Lee...🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Gerard! LOL. The funny thing is I knew the whole time I was forgetting something. It only hit me the day we were leaving. Not saying we would have had any more luck in Idaho finding one, but you never know. Lesson learned on my end…stop procrastinating!

[@momplusfive]

Well, I guess no one told you about Harbor Freight. I get almost all my pins, locks, lube, and gloves from HF. I even joined the discount card. I also get the freebee magnetic flashlights and accessories marked down. I loved the dino's!

[@discoveryboundrv]

LOVE Harbor Freight!!! We aren't card carrying members, but we do love the discounted products. You are 100% right. Fun story, we used to walk around shopping malls and every time we got near a SEARS department store Pam would get a headache. I didn't catch on to this trick for many years. Apparently, I would spend WAY too much time in the tools section. :) LOL. Since then, my Harbor Freight shopping isn't as frequent as I would love it to be. Also, we have been traveling throughout the West so much lately that we are never in an area that has a HF nearby. It's like trying to find an IKEA or Costco when there isn't even a gas station in the area. :) Thanks again for your support and we wish you all of the best. Warm regards, best wishes, and big hugs to you and your family in your speedy recovery.

How long do you plan on being on the road? Are you retired military? I don't think I saw a video where you share your story. Love watching your journey!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Michelle! We have traveled the world and spent a long time in Europe, the Middle East, and all around. The moment we came back to the USA we knew we had to travel. The moment we hit the road with our RV we loved it so much. We have no plan in sight to stop RVing. It just fits who we are. I am a veteran but not retired. We did a small Q&A on our Salt Lake City video that explains a little bit more. We will do more videos that focus on our story in the future. Thanks for asking and we can’t wait to share. All the best!

The lock is useless they put a 3 ft pipe on the end and pop it off.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Howard. I watched a video on that and realized that you are 100% right on that. It didn't take any effort either for them to break the lock off. Guess it only keeps the honest out. Thanks again for the info.

[@darrylt5300]

I order my lube plates from Amazon 3 at a time because if you take your trailer to the dealer the way they move them around bends the lube plate so I take it off I get the Curt CURT 16722 5th Wheel Hitch Lube Plate, 12-Inch Diameter

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Darryl, smart move! Having more is always better. When they get used, they just fall off. Nothing like experience to teach you a lesson. Agree with the dealership as well.👍

[@trustme7731]

I can pretty much assure you that there is NO voltage on that fence. It would be a monsterous liability. Besides, all anyone would have to do to disable it is throw a chain over it.........and duck. Makes me wonder why they do this. Is crime so rampant there? That style of hitch lock is generally no good. A pipe is put over the locking end. Pull sideways on it and it snaps right off. I think 2.5 seconds is the record time. Search hitch locks here and see for yourself. Listen to your wife, call first !

[@discoveryboundrv]

On my Top 10 list of things to check....That 7k Volt fence isn't one of them! LOL. I would have to agree that something doesn't fit right in that equation. However, I lost it when you said throw a chain over the fence and duck. I'm still laughing on that one. You single handedly nulled out the entire effort of putting electricity on that fence. :) Agree with the hitch locks. They keep the honest out and only slow down the pros. I was using it to lock my hitch adapters (sleeves) on the dually. Then I just threw all of it under the back seat. The cheap version of bike rack that I have uses a threaded bolt, so the smaller lock doesn't even go through. We didn't know that at the time. However, the locks do fit and that is a great combo back to fit the RV and Truck for those who want it. Thanks for the feedback! Great info as always.

Oh great video

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Gary! Great eye and good catch. We stayed at Hill AFB Fam Camp and it was probably the best one we have ever stayed at. You could see in the video all of the amenities they had for kids as well as spacious concrete RV spots. It's was definitely one of our favorites. We didn't stay at the Fam Camp in Mountain Home. We actually stayed in a private RV Park because the one on base was full. Mountain Home is experiencing a lot of local housing issues and actually made the news recently. The airmen can't afford the off-base housing and there isn't enough on-base housing for everyone. Thanks for the support! We would love to visit the Gulf Coast again. Pam loves it. We lived in Destin, FL for many years working at Hurlburt, Field and Eglin AFB. All the best and safe travels.
