TOP 10 Things to Buy on Day 1 | RV Newbie

[@anthonym9452]

Thanks!. I actually purchased some of those things for my home. Don’t have an rv. After watching your videos not sure I want to 😊. I will just ride with my sister who owns one and let her husband do all the work. All kidding aside, love watching your adventures.

Hi Anthony! Thank You, You're the Best! A lot of the things we recommend in this video are easy prevention items. After full-timing for over 3 years, it's just easier to throw the drain/shower catchers in on day 1 and forget about it. They are cheap and easy. That goes for the bug screens as well. Throw them on and then hit the road. We learned the hard way about needing water sensors. Without those little things letting you know you have a leak, the entire RV will fill up before you see anything splash on the ground outside. We can't stop things from breaking, but we enjoy the many challenges that the RV Lifestyle brings. We wish you the very best on this Memorial Day Weekend and safe travels. Please give our best to you sister and family as well. Pam & Lee

Just found you, and have subscribed. My wife and I are picking up our first Class C on Friday. THANK YOU for the help!

[@michaelkaye569]

One item you forgot regarding Poopsi's is getting a pair of heavy duty gloves, and a plastic bin to store the equipment in the basement...

[@benkok02]

We have a tube on back of trailer to store the hose. Easy convenient and no smell once every two trips I leave the flaps open and rinse it out in case of any leaks

[@ZeebNinja]

Make sure the new shower head you purchase has an on and off button near the head so when you are boondocking or just are water conservative.. you can leave the water on at the faucet and control on and off at the head for lathering.

Great Job Thanks

[@kenseger5684]

great video. my wife is a retired physician and her biggest pet peeve is the poop hose. it drives her crazy when she witnesses people emptying this hose that think just because they are wearing gloves that they don't have to wash their hands after. small thing to do to prevent getting sick. sad thing is most rver's don't do this.

[@big_matt9437]

I’ve been full time now for Four years, hands down the best top 10 list for new RV’rs. Never thought of the water sensors going out to buy today. Nice job guys! 👍🏻

[@lhsgolfer1991]

Pro tip don’t mess with any thing electrical with a ring. You are making yourself the best ground and highly increase your chance of getting electrocuted

[@doral98]

Don't forget a 30 or 50 amp extension cord whichever one you need

[@jenniferchristopher6366]

Wonderful info for a newbie! Thanks!

[@thequestlivetolearntolive.8555]

Thank you so much

[@rvhome5599]

Great list guys, we been using TST fours years now and NEVER had a false message,TST came out with a new monitor, the TST 770 Touch Screen Color Monitor. Please weight your new rig, being overweight is a serious liability issue in case of an accident. RVIA poop tank tec says not to use the drop in tank pods because they don’t desolve 100 percent and can over time plug up everything. Safe travels

[@kms6569]

thank you!

[@DaveG1223]

Very informative. Thank you.

[@robertdoyen5434]

Great list keep up the great job Thanks From Wisconsin

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Robert!

[@aLEEkazam]

Thank you! I acquired a few more things for my “newbie list” that weren’t previously on there. I really appreciate your knowledge.. happy and safe travels!

[@hammer48ful]

We have the fire extinguisher at the door plus at the rear of the camper, kitchen area, and in the truck. Check the gage to make sure the charge is still good.

[@ramirofigueroa3370]

Great list guys

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you Ramiro! 😀

[@vank7541]

On our new 2023 Jayco greyhawk 30z, our inspector indicated that we already had EMS built into our motorhome. I hope he was correct

[@discoveryboundrv]

Please Double check and let us know. You definitely have a management system that switches between power input, but I’m not sure about surge protection. We don’t have surge protection built into our new 2023 RV. We purchased a Progressive Industries external surge protector.

[@ken.korchak]

Thank you. Very helpful video😊

[@lifeaintover7165]

Im gonna agree with Big_Matt..... Love yalls content. Stay safe.

[@cynthialindsley5117]

Are surge protecters used for 30amp rigs?

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Cynthia. Yes, they are used for both 30 & 50 Amp RVs. We have a 30 Amp surge protector for the new Class C and a 50 Amp surge protector for the 5th Wheel.

[@StanR56]

good video with tips................

[@vank7541]

Do you need wheel chocks with the class c greyhawk 30z that has automatic leveling

[@discoveryboundrv]

We use the parking brake. 😀 Just make sure the tires are on the ground (or supported) when auto-Leveling.

[@badbiker666]

My wife and I are planning to retire into an RV in the next couple of years. I am preparing a list of RV items to purchase BEFORE we even buy our rig. I am adding your list to my prep binder. Good stuff to know!

[@robertclubs9908]

Love the show 😊 Thanks for your service

[@jesseavalos08]

Congratulations are your now ride

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you Jesse!

[@cadenschmidt319]

Can’t wait to see what adventures y’all have for this new moterhome!

[@victormendizabal8960]

Great video thanks for the tips and I can’t wait for the new episodes jajajaja…..have a great Sunday.

[@oldguysrule5895]

Big C! what did I miss....geeze, take your eye off the channel for just a moment and look at what happens...congrats!

[@jamesbatey598]

I was told buy a Tex to use ice in your black tank before you empty it to put some bags of ice in it when you drive them empty it after you drive around with the ice what do you think about that

[@vondatavenner8408]

Great tips. Did I miss something? What are you doing with your other RV?

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Vonda! LOL. We are keeping it. We now have 2 RVs and we will be traveling this season with both rigs. Pam’s Mom will be joining us (behind the scenes) to spend time with the kids for a few months. She just retired in Germany and we haven’t seen her in a few years. How fun is that. 😀

[@vondatavenner8408]

@@discoveryboundrv That's awesome! Good luck with your family on your adventures. We're empty nesters camping on the weekends. Not yet retired but getting close. I know how Pam's mom must feel being away from the grandbabies. Our old son is in the air Force stationed in Japan. Missing our grands so much. Thankfully we were able to spend two weeks in Japan with them in December. Enjoy having the company of grammie on the road with you.

[@kevincameron8437]

Great info for everyone! Looking forward to you new journeys!

[@timf6916]

Good information

[@johnsanford4569]

Great info. Thanks.

[@johnhines3591]

Must haves for day 1... Water hose & regulator Sewer hose & fittings Wheel chocks All the rest are should haves. Not really needed for a first weekend camping trip. That would be over $1,000 in extras just to go camping at your local state park.

[@dawg7915]

No so much on the wheel chocks for a Class C..... but i do have some left over from my pull behind days.

[@georges4562]

Great tips ! You costed me money today from your Amazon Store 🤣😂🤣

[@michaelanglen6090]

Ok so what's going to happen to the 5th wheel and that awesome truck ???

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Michael! We are keeping them. We just added another RV to our trip planning and travels. Now we will entourage across America. Big adventures and lots of fun. 👍

[@stephenpolos1689]

Good video 😊 but still don't know why you got a class c had to be about 150 thousand just replace your jayco for new one or your an affiliate there another channel big truck big travel he has a space craft 46 foot with volvo truck it's about 500 hundred thousand he is on way to Alaska in f5500 class c and a jeep toad its about 250 thousand you guys must lots of resources safe travels 🤔

[@jimcolts]

ok...I have ALL those things (6 fire extinguishers actually).....now if I only had a coach 😉

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Jim. You made us laugh reading this. You’re awesome.

[@joangosselin]

👍

[@Exousia718]

JESUS is LORD over the United States of America. Amen! Thank you and GOD Bless!!!

[@dawg7915]

Do you guys plan on pulling a toad? The only issue i have having a C is not having a car to pull behind it. once you set camp, you're stuck there without one. My wifes CRV cannot be towed because its AWD. I would have to put it on a full trailer.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Completely agree. We are keeping both RVs, so we still have Maximus (F-350). Having a tow vehicle is a huge factor in deciding which type of RV to buy. Great point. Best, Lee

[@miken.5537]

Great video! thank you very much!
