RV Stuck on First Road Trip! (Huge Mistake) - Part 1

[@danwhite4086]

Little late to the show, but love your videos! You are going through what every other new RVer goes through and you guys do it with such positivity! Just 2 tips/tricks I use (and this is just 2 that works for me) A. Once everyone is in the truck, I’m hooked and ready to go, I get out before I move. I start at the drivers side front of the truck and walk around the truck and camper. I touch every single thing that opens, hooks, moves. Every door, window, every latch, hose. If it moves I touch it to assure it’s shut, locked, stowed and ready for travel. B) I drive the first 5 min (of course it’s raining so I get it) but I drive the first 5 min, all windows open, radio off and I listen. Make sure I don’t hear anything weird, dragging, rubbing. It will tell you a lot. Like I said, this was shared with me and I loved it and works great for me! Love seeing you all learning abs growing! I’m going through all your videos and can’t wait to see more!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Dan. Wow! You just added to new lines to our checklist. How amazing. It just shows how incredible the RV community is. We used to do a light check by turning left blinker, then right blinker, etc. then our neighbor after stopped laughing, said why don’t you just turn the hazards on. 🤣

[@stevedenoyer5956]

Having* watched many of your more recent videos, I’m just came across this one I hadn’t watched, and your girls look so young, it’s really amazing how fast they grow. Even in just a years time. Our girls are all grown and this takes me back. Some days I’d love to have them small again and be going from campground to campground. Enjoying your journey

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Steve! That’s exactly why we started our channel. Many years from now our girls will have something to look back on when they are a bit older….and their parents were still young. LOL.

[@danantes5223]

Nice video 😃. My wife and I use hand held cb’s to communicate. Works for us because of the 40 channels. The boards are great but we use the square lock blocks to drive on. We bought them when they were on sale. Keep up the awesome videos 👍🏻

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Dan. Thank you so much. We were so “RV Newbie” when we first started. It’s so amazing how quickly you learn. Radios are the best tool. When cell reception goes out, radios save the day. We actually use the boards because it kept raining and Pam wanted something super easy. Blocks are very durable. Glad you got them on sale. 👍

[@wtfd95]

Just a note and observation from an RV veteran… After you empty your black/gray tanks at a dump site… Use the rinse line provided to clean out and clear your hoses before storing. Take care, be safe. 👌🇺🇸

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Brian. Great tip and thanks for sharing. We are new to RVing, so these tips help us do it better next time. Thanks again and travel safe!

Good Morning Irene! Thank you for watching. We are so excited that our trip can relate to your adventures as well. We would love to see what it’s like traveling in a motorhome. Set up is definitely a lot easier. Especially in the cold. 😀 Thanks again and safe travels.

[@willcha8127]

Your videos are basically how i forsee my first trip/time out with an RV. I was supposed to get one for our florida to vermont trip. But instead just rented one to be on site, i am still taking my f250. But, it just seemed not too smart to rush into towing the RV 1000 miles on a first trip in less than 2 months, not to mention finding one and buying it. getting 5th wheel prep installed... since they weren't available from factory etc... heh i hate to say nice to see i won't be alone

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Will. Renting an RV is always a great choice. It doesn't matter how you get to the campsite, as long as you are there. :) We agree, hitting the road on a long trip with a new rig is huge potential for things to go wrong real quick. We actually didn't want to show that in our video. We thought about keeping it simple. But then we said, everyone makes mistakes and it's OK to make them. RVing is tough, expensive, and a whole lot of fun. We hope that everyone can see that nobody has all of the answers on Day #1. Even after watching a whole bunch of KZbin videos, the only thing that helps is experience. We have met a lot of people that took out stop signs and even wrecked their rig on Day #1. I think we were pretty lucky. You are definitely not alone! All the best and safe travels.

[@Bunkysworkshop]

After you empty the black n grey tanks. Go back and fill them up with clean water and dump again. In these tanks water is your friend. Black tank first then grey.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Great Tip! That is absolutely the best way. It took us a while to realize that the black and grey tank gauges/indicators only work for the first few times and then they always read full. A quick fresh water rinse will clean that out quickly. Our neighbor in the next spot had a animal bite into his dump hose. When he dumped, it turned into a sprinkler. Now I keep a roll of duct tape hanging nearby. :)

[@Bunkysworkshop]

[@johnstangel8918]

If you use the black tank flush before you disconnect the stink is minimized .

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi John. Great tip! I think I am going to let Pamela do it next time and that will eliminate ALL of the smell....for me at least. :) Seriously though, the black tank flush is such an important part of getting the mess out of the tank. I think a lot of people overlook that step. Well received indeed. All the best and safe travels!

LOL. Believe it or not, they make them bigger. We love the Jayco NorthPoint and its layout makes living on the road Amazing.

[@sdavis005]

Put together a check list Do 2- 360 walk around, look up, down, under and around for all hazards. touch every connection to make sure they are closed and locked Know where everyone is at. keep them clear of the rig no matter what. Last thing you don't want to do is hurt someone Don't let anyone interrupt you while doing the check list, if so start over 2 way radios help for communications, phones have to much of a delay if something is happening it already happened. Just something my wife and I always do

[@discoveryboundrv]

Great information!! We used phones in the beginning and then got so tired of the delay. The Walkie Talkie’s are perfect. Thanks, Pam

Walnut hills was our very first RV Park and we all have fond memories of the whole area. Including feeding the ducks. The girls loved it. How neat is it to stay in the same RV site! That’s epic! 😀 Safe travels!

[@Forbess1234]

You washed out the stinky slinky, right? That’s what the hose at the dump station is for. It’s also worth having a hose just for rinsing out your tanks. You prob have an inlet. Most newer RVs have them.

[@discoveryboundrv]

LOL. Yep, we always save Grey 1 Water (bath) for last. Even if it doesn’t make it in the video, we always flush it with the shower water. Our problem was that the outlet was frozen and nothing could escape the rig. Our rig has a black tank flush port in the Nautilus Station. It works great. We used to keep the fresh water hose and black tank flush hoses stored together. Man, you should see the comments we got on that. 🤣 We have gracefully changed our approach and now keep them separate. LOL.

[@debbiewilson4443]

Get a Valterra Gate Valve. Really makes the dumping a little easier in that it can eliminate the possibility of a "poopsie" when taking that black tank hose off the rv

[@discoveryboundrv]

Great tip! Thanks Debbie! We found that we were never fully closing the Gray Tank #2 when we closed the handle. Basically, the kitchen water would fill up the tube and then freeze. I guess it's really hard to troubleshoot when it's below freezing outside. :) I kept telling Pamela "I'm not going out there". LOL. You are correct though, we need to make sure that there is a final Gate Valve. Nobody wants to have the Poopsie story. They are fun to listen to but not to experience.

[@TheViewfromBethlehem]

I realize that this was 8 months ago, perhaps you now use this trick. I found the best way to communicate was to use your phones. The driver blue-tooths the phone, hands-free, through the truck speakers. The person guiding/directing uses his/her phone to call the driver. Communication is much improved.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Absolutely. Wonderful point. We started using our cell phones on the East Coast until we got out West. Bad reception, poor quality, remote RV Parks, etc. all contribute to our newly adopted Midland Walkie Talkies / Cell Phone hybrid approach. We actually purchased a Micro-Mobile Radio for the Truck Dash to communicate with the Midland Walkie Talkies. And we also purchased a SureCall Cell booster for the truck to boost to the poor cell signals when needed. This has helped us a lot. Great tip indeed and thanks for sharing!

[@Dan007UT]

Hell yeah. First time I backed up my camper into our tight driveway we did that. Took us 40 mins.. but no arguing!!

[@discoveryboundrv]

One day you will have to teach us the art of "No Arguing" on Travel Days. LOL.

[@Forbess1234]

Walkie-talkies are a good backup (see what I did there?) if you have no cell service

[@patpatpatpat4014]

I deliver chemicals for a living. I have a tip for you. when you dump the poop have a pair of rubber gloves and just work at the back. when you go to the dump valves take them off and use the controls. this way you won't dirty in side the control cabinet. hope this helps you guys have fun I'm Patrick from Edmonton Alberta Canada

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Patrick! I just changed my habits based on your advice. Having the gloves is not as important as knowing how to use them. Amazing tip. Thank you. 👍

[@AwosAtis]

Also, after you complete your checklist, always do a walkaround before moving anything! Checklists aren't infallible,

[@discoveryboundrv]

That's a HUGE point! Thanks. We have found so many obvious things we have missed that aren't on our checklist during our walkarounds. You can have a 3 page checklist and still miss things. So important to do a good walkaround. Thanks again.

[@65Max]

The VERY FIRST THING I did with my trailer was create a checklist and continue to modify it - first time after bringing home from dealer I forgot to release the truck handbrake - smoking brakes at the gas station! Added THAT to the checklist immediately!

[@cliffwendy3765]

IT'S A NUT, not a bolt. LOL

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Cliff, you are 100% correct. I have no idea what we were thinking. LOL. Great catch.

[@andrewuriarte7581]

A Garmin GPS would help yall tremendously. You can enter the size of the rig and truck so it can help navigate better and bigger roads to safely tow.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Andrew. We agree. Having the right equipment for the road is a DAY #1 requirement. Not saying that Rand McNally doesn't make a great paperback atlas.....but this is 2022. I look forward to the day that Pamela gives me a brand new Garmin GPS. Or at least gives me the OK to go buy one. I'm sure she has other plans. :)

[@666peanutbutter]

Suggestion for my fellow RVers...invest $40 for a pair of basic ‘walkie-talkies’...they work great for communications during set up/take down & can be used for a host of other situations

[@discoveryboundrv]

Great tip! You are 100% right. It's amazing how many places don't have good cell signal when you arrive at a park. Walkie Talkies are great in all situations. Shortly after this video was released, we actually purchased a set of Midland Walkie Talkies and we love them. I am thinking about installing a Micro-Mobile radio in the truck. Thanks again and travel safe.

[@ROA_97]

Just another tip if no one has said yet . Always dump the black tank first that way when you drain your grey tank it will wash out the sewer hose for the most part. If it doesnt, then spray it out.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Anthony. Great Tip! It only takes one time of doing it the wrong way to realize there is an order to that process. :)

[@jimmygreene284]

I always close my lp tanks until time to use them. Also use electric heat when possible.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Very recently we ran into an issue where we burned through more LP than we expected due to it freezing for a couple of days. When we needed to go find more Propane, we couldn't find any in the local area. That's when we realized that we needed a portable space heater as a backup! Keeping them closed until you need them is a great idea that we will start doing ourselves. Thank you!

[@kwyer1963]

Never move the rig without a walk around check just before getting in the truck.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Keith, you said it! 9 out of 10 times our walk around leads to unlocked doors or loose screws. Only one time did it lead to a flat tire. But just like you mentioned, that one time is why we do a walk around. Thanks for sharing and safe travels!

[@mechelle_n_bryanlepoidevin8918]

[@gunner5099]

Hey, just a Heads Up. Good idea turning off the Gas Bottles because if yall ever go through a tunnel that goes under the water you have to have them Closed

[@gunner5099]

I used to live in Hampton Roads area so I was always going through the Tunnels around there and they all had signs to stop at their inspection both to make sure the gas was turned off

[@angiefitzgerald1409]

Watch videos. There are tons of videos and checklists out there to at least have a starting point. Also, your wife needs to be taking an active role in all parts of hooking up, towing, unhooking, parking, etc. You never know when there could be an emergency. You should both be well-versed and confident in all parts of the journey. Also maybe you did this and just didn't show it, but be sure you wash off the inside and outside of the sewer hoses and any attachments (elbows, backwash, 45s, etc) before you store. Even though under the trailer, it is going to be awful next time you pull the hose(s) out! Use functional hand signs that work for the two of you, not whatever formal something she tried and you couldn't see. You need something better that is the thumb inside or out. You don't have to standardize across 50 drivers, just the 2 of you! Make things a little bigger, maybe even vocalize with it. No one will pay any attention but the two of you. But, she needs to cut the idle chatter, like "Lee you are dragging in the back" in that slow southern drawl with the urgency of spring flowers! Love your trailer. We have a new 2024 Jayco Eagle. You will do great because you are happy and willing to learn. The guy that has been doing it 30-40 years and his way is the only way is the worst to deal with. Enjoy the adventures that await!

Hi Gary. You said it! The back tires dug right in and the pitch of the hill was too steep for the dually to get any traction under load. It became a lose-lose situation real quick. It taught us a big lesson in preparing the site before you bring the weight. Plans go wrong all of the time, but having good support and working as a team is the key.

Pamela laughs because now she doesn't want to see it. LOL. :) I feel that this is such an important part of the process in making sure that everything is working correctly.

True but always open the grey first, just for a second to make sure there are no leaks. You dont want to discover a leak with the black water.

Hook up a hose to the tanks and flush while draining the tanks.

Thanks for the great tip! We will try it out if we get in that position again. It makes me think of those RhinoFLEX sewer hose adapters that have the attachment for the water hose. That might have worked as well. I think at that time, it was so cold the water was shut off and they turned it back on randomly. Pamela's solution is now....chase 70 degrees and prevent frozen pipes from happening! LOL. Thanks again and travel safe!

Great tip! Thanks. We looked into Happy Camper when we first started RVing. It turned out that Amazon returned our order of Happy Camper twice. Then COVID hit and they shut down for a while. Basically, we never got any and found other options. Pam found a Lavender scented tank treatment and lets just say that not all tank treatments are the same. I don't think her lavender stuff works all that well, but I figure it's better than nothing. Might have to give Happy Camper one more attempt. :) Thanks again.

When you find a mask that you can't smell through, let me know. I can't be sure, but it looks like your anti skid wheels are higher than the hose storage tubes. There's a video here of a fifth wheel getting the entire rear wall ripped off by a small hill.

[@discoveryboundrv]

We have NEVER found a perfect one! And we have been through a LOT of them! The Bump Stop Caster Wheels are a favorite of ours. Without them we wouldn’t tow this rig anywhere. Especially after seeing those videos of the aft wall peeling back so easily. Sacrificial casters are a cheap life saver. The poop pipes are mounted based on the straight line from the bottom of the aft tire to the bottom of the caster wheel. There is about a 1 inch clearance on those pipes. It’s definitely close, but to get more clearance we would have to shift them further forward. That’s too far for the weight of those support arms holding it up. The whole contraption is bolt-on bolt-off. We actually hit the wheels so often, my checklist has “Spray Paint Casters” on it. I spray them black to know when we hit the ground. No off-road adventures for us!

[@666peanutbutter]

Thanks to the great support from the community, we have received a lot of feedback to close the tanks. You would think that these things would be discussed when you purchase a new RV. But, NOPE!
