Top 10 Things NOBODY Talks About!

[@jameshunter1763]

Thanks!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi James, Thank you so much! Lee and I will be using your contribution towards buying a new wireless microphone set for our future videos. When you see it on camera, then you will know that you helped to make that happen. In this video, we were filming and hit with a small wind storm that distorted our audio a few times during the episode. High Fives and Huge Appreciation! Pam & Lee

[@jameshunter1763]

@@discoveryboundrv You're more than welcome, you have no idea how much your videos have helped this newbie, thanks again!!

[@jimcowie9507]

When it's buggy outside, there's no avoiding some of them getting inside. at night, I remove the filter from the range hood, turn the hood light on, turn any other lights off, turn the hood fan on then watch the bugs get sucked out of the trailer. After about 10 minutes they're all gone.

[@hammer48ful]

For doing dishes we use spray bottles. One diluted soap and one water to rinse. Cuts down on filling tanks.

[@bigbadbob143]

Great video! How about the "talking neighbor" Just when you start setting up, someone wants to spend 30 minutes in a conversation. Usually, you just want to get set up, and start cooking and walk the dog. Thats when the talking neighbor shows up. lol

[@joeschmoe9242]

We are watching you to.... no one is safe, gossip is golden...

[@discoveryboundrv]

LOL. 😀

[@09dave1952]

Trash is my pet peeve! We are currently in a campground that actually has descent trash receptacles (with lids) spotted so there are about 4 campers to a can. Except where we are parked, there are none! Me and my neighbors have to walk about half a block to get rid of our trash, not a big deal. But, when we drive in and out of the campground we see all of the other campers with trash cans. I'll admit it, I'm jealous.

[@markgosser9578]

Another funny and very truthful top 10 video. One year ago on our very first RV trip we were talking to our neighbors who asked us how long we’ve been RVing. I told them this was our maiden voyage and they said we watched you from inside our camper and looked like you’ve been doing it for years the way I backed the camper up into lot. I told them thanks but didn’t tell them that I’ve had my CDL licenses since the mid 80s. Thanks for what you do guys!

[@wandadruhan9935]

I've had truck drivers comment on how well my husband gcould back up our 8' pop up. We just upgraded to a 27' so we will see how he does with that once the weather gets warmer

[@thomasbumgardner6970]

One of the most accurate and honest videos out there. Nice one!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you Thomas! Best, Pam

[@ChristopherBalish]

Excellent content! I’ve never heard any of these before. Thank you!

[@brada5185]

I agree with you 100% I will never give up my Social Security number to anybody like that I’ll just go to the next campsite

[@Timw927]

Yeah if they need a SS number, I'll say no thanks and move on.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Truthfully, so did we. By the way, this was a new park in Florida. Our last Background Check Park was in Virginia. We hope this doesn't become a new trend.

[@robintherrien67]

@@Timw927 I agree and will never give social security number to a campground. we heard of identity theft issue from this (our friends).

[@robv4053]

Yeah, no. That will never happen from this camper... Any and all campers should pass by any campground asking for it. Take a look at your Social Security Card and take particular note of its stated purpose. The allowed misuse is unreal. More to the point, in my experience, it's challenge enough for campground personnel to use a computer, so I have ZERO trust whatsoever they could keep any of my personal information secure! I will be sure to camp elsewhere!

[@bbredhead70]

Exactly

[@casaqu1]

Screws. Use lock tite when tightening or replacing screws to keep from backing out again. Also consider rivets when applicable

[@jocelynb8935]

Almost all of those items I’ve never heard about and I’ve watched a lot of RV videos. Good

[@jill179]

You guys are great! Loved the top 10 things they never tell you! I appreciate your lightheartedness and humor! Thank you for sharing your travels! Take care!!

[@raycalandra1887]

Enjoy your videos. My wife and I have been traveling the country in travel trailers for 40 years now and we are on our 6th camper. We got a huge kick out of this video because it is so true. The one that gets me is finding screws lying around in the camper and not being able to figure out where they came from 🙁

[@patrickmartyka4247]

Watching the Cruise America people come in is great fun. My son even will come get to watch when one comes in.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Oh Yes, we forgot about the Cruise America crew. 😀

[@briantate8619]

LOL... You guys are absolutely AWESOME!!!😀 Great video! I laughed so much! Thank You! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

[@davidgroves8049]

loose screws = blue locktite Yes watching people back in is a JOY=camping entertainment, popcorn time! I do not offer help, I watched a couple hit a tree 37 times in a row. MY fave is newbie dumping tanks! some dont even know where the dump tanks pull valves are! For the bugs! we put a Therma cell next to the door. this helps a lot.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi David, Great tip with the locktite! Therma cell seems to be a very popular remedy. We will have to give it a try. Thanks.

[@dawnwaring3021]

We handled biting flies by using a pool noodle and poking incense sticks into it. Place pool noodle on the ground, under awning behind your cooking station. The lightly, smoky fragrance keeps bugs away. We have also clipped them onto the awnings’ edge. Be mindful of falling ash

[@heroesandzeros7802]

We use the Correll and lots of paper plates at home. We can never have enough forks. Go to the restaurant supply store or Sam's and buy plastic forks in bulk. Our RV has 2 big boxes of forks. Yard sales are great for buying cheap metal forks.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you. Great Tips! We always run out of forks and spoons, then we have a big bag of plastic knives that we never use. LOL.

[@cjgilbert209]

What a fun video! We laughed with you all the way-this list is so true! Add tarantulas to the list of bugs. We were at a park in NM where you had no idea during the day that tarantulas came out at night. 😱 My very wise husband didn’t tell me about them until we were on our way to our next stop. Thanks for being so real and fun to watch. It’s so evident that you enjoy life together. Y’all truly make lemons into lemonade, and that attitude is refreshing. We can all relate to the problems that occur while RVing,but it’s how you handle it that helps you get through it. Keep the videos coming; we so enjoy them! Our best to you.

[@elywalton7147]

Yep... Life lesson: NEVER live where they have "tarantula season!" 😎

[@mrglip911]

After doing laundry one time in the park I installed a washer dryer in our Northpoint. We also use biodegradable dishes. Very little dishes. Humid areas you’ll get those bugs. The one I hate is flies. Zapper works good.

[@robertcolpitts4534]

Y'all are right on the money with these 10 things. The dishes are one we can definitely relate to. We carried Corelle dishes in our trailer while full timing for 5 years. When we settled down again, we moved them into our new house! 21 years later, they are still like new and we still use them. We have a new trailer now but Dottie fell in love with some plates made of some synthetic material, while pretty, you cannot microwave it or get it too hot or it will melt. It goes away and we'll use Corelle again. We've NEVER heard of places requiring a background check to stay a few nights. That's insane! They can copy my LTC (NICS Permit) or my Security Officer's License (also NICS), but they are NOT getting my SS number. We'll sleep in a Walmart parking lot before that happens.

[@tech3nc]

Just found your site and I was laughing through a lot of your top 10!! The last one was hilarious because I remember doing the same thing so many times!! I will be watching more of your videos!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Bruce! We had fun making it. Lot more coming your way! Best, Pam & Lee

[@bill8135]

Hi Jim! Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel. We hope the snow has passed and wasn’t too bad. Keep us posted on your camping adventures. We would love to hear the stories. Best, Pam

[@ralphb.3802]

Toll by plate: We use an EZPass and for the most part and it works well. But whenever we go over New Jersey bridges near Philadelphia, it charges us the wrong toll amount. Instead of $8 it charges our EZpass account $21. The human toll taker charges the correct amount, so we pay cash on these bridges. Screws:The first six months of owning our new trailer, I kept finding random screws around that I don’t know where they go! We don’t walk in our bare feet in fear of stepping on a rogue screw. The screws in the stove kept falling out. I finally added some glue to keep them in. Watching us: It seems like when I back into a site, all the neighbors come out. I do it too. It’s part of the fun of RVing. Good video, Thanks.

[@therealvinnyb690]

Hilarious!! I like to go out and watch. Avoid eye contact! LOL.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Priceless! Either way, it's fun to watch others make the same mistakes we do. We actually backed the rig into a spot in Wisconsin and our neighbors were outside clapping for us. How inspiring is that! It made us feel great. We were just glad that we didn't hit anything. LOL.

[@rogerwilkins4068]

First time seeing you two…loved the video…we are “Lot-A-Timers” (on the road 7 months a year) and really enjoy watching fun folks who travel…will definitely subscribe. We agree on the “no hurry” attitude when we travel…300 miles or 3 pm is our goal for maximum travel time.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Love it!!! 300 miles or 3PM. 😀 We hope you like the channel and we are excited that you guys are here. It’s a hard lesson to learn, but there is no rush when you are towing your home behind you. Long drives means you are missing a lot of the fun along the way. We enjoy short drives and making memories. Thanks again and safe travels! Pam & Lee

[@wandadruhan9935]

I just stumbled across you and immediately subscribed. I loved this video. As for #10 I'm in Nova Scotia , Canada and we don't hide in our trailers sitting with a coffe watching. We sit outside having a drink so they know they are being watched. If it takes them a long time we may have several drinks.

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

Lol so true, Hubs & I were in a Cape Breton Island campground struggling with our brand new “instant pop up” screen tent…a couple came over & thought they’d help us before we divorced 😂. Turns out the screen tent was broken! We returned it in Sydney the next day. The bugs were awful! But being Canadian we just used a lot more of our favourite summertime perfume-“Deep Woods”. The new one wasn’t instant so it goes up just fine. Loved NS & look forward to returning next year or the year after.

[@tomballard4794]

For mosquitoes I use a thermacell and mosquito coils. Dirt and mud. Even if we wipe your feet outside and take our shoes off there is still pine needles, seeds,dirt all over.

[@ewledoux1]

❤ I love you guys!! You’re the best! I do have the solution to your bug problem. Yard Fogger in a can! I’m serious it works, we use it ALL the time. The first thing I do before set up is spray!

[@kevinhansen7116]

On our 1st big trip, we encountered stink bugs. Well you know what that means. I found one guy on youtube who has put a screen under his stairs were the return vent is for the furnace. The thought is any time the pass through is opened the bugs come in and enter the living area under the stair. I'm going to try a screen in mine I hope it works. Thanks.

[@seabliss22]

We had all correll dishes in our fifth wheel until one travel day somehow a cupboard door opened and dumped them out onto the floor. They not only break but they shattered into very dangerous splinters. We replaced the broken dishes with stainless steel. All the correll dishes which remain are now kept in a very deep drawer low to the ground. The only problem with stainless steel is they get very hot. So, now we are looking into bamboo. I enjoyed this recommend video and decided to sub. ☺️

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you and welcome to the channel. You make a great point about Correll. They absolutely shatter when they break. We used bamboo bowls for a long time. Let’s just say that every now and then we forget about convection vs microwave and we now have no more bowls. LOL. Still looking for that perfect RV solution, but at least we know what not to use. Thanks for sharing your experience. Best, Pam & Lee

[@Daniel-ow2io]

I love hearing Pam laugh,

[@Ricky-eo5ym]

Really informative appreciated.

[@RobertMurray-b1e]

Ok , so I have corelle dishes but generally use paper plates. I would avoid using toll roads. I would NEVER give my SS # to a campground.( if it is so bad they run background checks then no thanks!) The “bugs “ and watching fellow campers/rigs, is part of the experience! Haven’t had the pleasure of doing laundry in public, yet, so that’s to be determined. Anyway love the video!!😊

Yall are the best! Love and hugs to the whole family!

[@ScottyOutdoorAdventures]

Maybe not a top 10 but I have not yet seen a video about folks cranking up the RV antenna and moving it's direction a million times before they give up and realize they are not going to get any TV channels to come in... this after multiple attempts at rescanning for channels on the TV.... We've all done it at one time or another. Cheers and thanks for all you do.

[@kevincameron8437]

You nailed the list! And Amazon is the devil for RVers! So easy and quick to spend that $$. Thanks for sharing!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks! We have to watch ourselves as well with Amazon. It's WAY too convenient.

[@robertnasser9937]

Yes, a 4 hour trip is a 8 hour day, we love our dishwasher and washer/dryer that came with our rv.

[@SkoolieB]

A Thermacell works great for mosquitos up here in Alaska with our huge skeeters.

[@charlescoushaine]

Excellent Video!! Loved your 10 things nobody talks about and your video editing skills! Bugs entering our trailer at night because of our light by the door attracting them was a problem for a long time until I changed it to a motion sensor type so it just comes on as we enter - works like a charm to keep the bugs from coming inside!! Also, for ants, we learned to suspend our hose & electrical cord from the hookup to our trailer OFF the ground to prevent the ants from having an easy highway inside!

[@technojerry]

You can eliminate two of your issues by traveling west of the Rockies. Insects aren’t an issue camping on the Pacific coast and really no toll roads. In fact, tell your GPS to avoid toll roads which there are few to none in most western states.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Great tip. After spending a year on the East Coast, we are definitely heading back West again.

[@cincysue5917]

Fun Video and so true!! You asked for BUG TRICKS: I keep a disposable little glass of water with dish soap water to get the stink bugs. I put the glass over them and slowly move it on the ceiling or under them to kill them without the smell in the camper. NEVER VACUUM!! The smell will not go away. When the glass is full-ish I put it outside as a warning to other stink bugs! LOL. I also use a tin foil pan on a tray (in case of leaks) with an inch or so of water and dish soap on the counter at night with a desk light shining on the water. Usually have a few in the morning. I also put some cotton balls with peppermint oil into the vents where possible. For other bugs, I set up a dymo but my best defense is TWO electric tennis rackets ($4 each at harbor freight). I swing them around when they are driving me crazy. I also use them for the bugs on the screen walls. Work great!! My top FAVORITE RV helper - wished I knew about it years ago - is a small 'counter top' dishwasher. We installed ours below our sink but would have pulled it out to attached to the faucet if needed. LOVE IT! I just put those pesky dishes in there to keep them out of the sink until full. I usually run it every other day for two of us. It uses LESS WATER than hand washing so saves some room in the gray tank as well. Our's cost $280 two years ago. Keep them coming!!

[@robertdoyen5434]

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Robert! We love to share with the RV Community. We have learned so much from everyone since we started on our Day 1. Now it’s our turn to give back. 😀 Best, Pam.

[@ifatola9405]

Hey Lee and Pam, Happy Trails! So here's something no one talks about and moms especially need to know--Corelle ABSOLUTELY shatters! It has happened to us twice and it's the most fear-inducing blood-curdling sound ever. It also splinters into the smallest pieces. The first time my toddler pulled a bowl off the counter and bam! It just needs to fall at precisely the right angle. We still use them almost exclusively but we treat them like glass and nevertheless handle with care. Enjoy the road!

[@jolene5215]

We used a natural insecticide called Cedarcide granules for bugs/ants. Worked great and non-toxic. Loved your video! Add rough roads to your list.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Jolene. Great point. We are definitely adding rough roads to the next one. We are also going to check out the Cedarcide granules. Our kids run all over the place and we don’t like using the sprays that much. Thanks, Pam

We avoid toll road at all costs. Only have paid for a couple of bridges, but luckily we could pay online.

Imagine how much money you would have saved living in an RV while in the UAE. I’m surprised that monster doesn’t have a dishwasher? I wish we had done what Robert G did, he bought a boat and is living on it. Safe travels regards Tony.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Tony! We miss you both too. Our travels will eventually bring us to Australia and we will definitely give you a shout to hang out for a while. Robert did it right. We just chose a path that lets us pull over every 50 miles and have a burger. LOL. Big hugs from all of us. Pam & Lee

[@JandAReview1]

Ants are the biggest thing for us. We get a bag of ant granules from Wal-mart and put it around everything that touches the ground. We’ve been doing this for 2 years and we don’t have ants inside the camper. Love your videos!

[@Freightmeister]

This was a VERY good episode you guys. Thanks for the truths and the laughs.

How about checking your landing pads aren’t screwing off. We lost one on the road. So when checking tires check to make sure your landing pads are screwed on tight.

I clean with vinegar and read once that ants don't like vinegar and it dawned on my that I didn't have ants in the dog food since I started using vinegar. I also use a few drops of peppermint oil in a water bottle and spritz my garage every so often and that seems to help with the flies and spiders.

The surge protector we picked up when we got our 5th wheel was $179, later saw it on Amazon for $80... but that wasn't the worst part!

[@vonrollveeg]

Usually I don't watch videos by "big rig" people, just because I'm mostly an off-road camper with a four-wheel camper on a pickup truck: big rigs are usually not very relevant to me. But, I found this video hilarious and very entertaining and actually useful. Thanks so much I'll try some of your other videos to o.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Philip! Thank you. 4-Wheel campers are the best. We actually want to use a Lance camper (or equivalent) in our 350 dually for our trip to Alaska soon. Hauling the huge beast limits our experience to explore. We’re making plans and excited. All the best, Pam & Lee

[@ceritapenman6112]

Number 10 really hit home with me. We pulled into a campground and had a blindside, uphill, back-in site. We got in the site after trying 10 times and having the camp host cut off 3 posts so we could get the 5th wheel centered. By the time we got done, it was after 9pm and we were mentally, emotionally, and physically exhausted. I'm sure most people had a good laugh, but it wasn't funny to us. What a day!

[@discoveryboundrv]

That is absolutely the best (and unfortunately the worst) story of the day. Thank you for sharing that. Yes, they were watching. I’m sure the office staff works hard to fit the right rig in the best spot, but sometimes it doesn’t work out. We tell people all the time that every now and then things don’t go as planned and you will arrive at night. So make sure to get really BRIGHT lights and light up your area. Unfamiliar RV Park, blind spots and hidden posts is a recipe for disaster. Sounds like you guys are professionals now. 😀 Way to go! Best, Pam & Lee

[@ricesshomestead81]

Just found the channel love it you are so upbeat I live just north of Duluth Mn was wondering if you ever camped up the North shore of Lake Superior its very nice. We really like the Grand Marais Mn area.

I agree that laundry is bad. Like you said, bring the wipes. I also purchased some sponge type things that have paws on them that keep the dog and cat hair off your laundry.

[@badbiker666]

My wife and I are retiring into an RV in a few years. Our plans are not to criss-cross the Unites States, but to travel between our children, located in New Mexico, Colorado, and Montana. One of our kids is building a homestead on 20 acres and there are plans to include a level RV site for old Mom & Dad to park on for a couple of months at a time. We will be full time RVers, but not nomads. That said, we can relate to just about everything said in this video. Here's my take on your talking points: Bugs: Currently, we live on a horse ranch. Our house is less than 50 yards from the barn. The horses have 5 acres on which to roam. They can go in and out of the barn as they please. So where do they choose to do the majority of their pooping? At night, in the barn. So we spend a lot of time shoveling it up and putting it into a pile that we have to pay a guy to pick up once a month. The flies LOVE our property, and we get a lot of them in the house. When we transition to an RV, I don't see the situation getting any better. Hopefully, it won't get any worse, either. Tolls By Plate: Toll roads are usually marked on maps. Google Maps has an option to avoid toll roads. There aren't very many in the states where we plan to spend the majority of our time. I don't anticipate spending any time in the places where toll roads are a major concern. By that I mean the East. Toll roads are the bane of the Eastern United States. My travel plans specifically avoid everything east of I-75. My mother lives in Michigan and we plan to visit her now and then, but other than that, we will spend most of our time in the Western United States where free roads are commonplace. Dishes: I haven't had a dishwasher for quite a few years. When we moved into our house, it had a dishwasher, but I never liked it. I preferred how clean I got the dishes when I washed everything by hand. Eventually the dishwasher broke down and ceased working altogether, so I ripped it out and put a couple of shelves in its place. It's just my wife and I, so the dishes are easy to handle. I inherited a very nice set of antique china when my grandparents passed. We are planning to move all of it into our RV. For travel purposes, I have decided to put a sheet of padding in between each plate and bowl. Sounds like a pain, right? It is, but we only plan to pick up and move a few times a year, so it will be worth the effort to protect my heirlooms. I tried passing the china on to my daughters, but they weren't interested. I can't get rid of them; they're too precious to me. So in the rig they go! You were right. I haven't seen a lot of RV KZbin videos covering these topics. Your insights will be very helpful to my wife and I. Thank you!

[@adriannurse1502]

The biggest bug problem we have is ants. They crawl up your power cable or water line. If you have a pet they absolutely love their food dish. Another thing I have noticed is if you can drive your car somewhere and it takes 4 hours it is going to take 8 in the motorhome. I wear a Garmin fitness tracker. I have noticed on travel days, even though my steps plummet, my burned calories increase by 900. Even though I sit in a comfy captains chair and feel relaxed my burned calories go way up. I have never had anyone ask for a social security number for a background check. How many times have you had this happen and in what states? I am a first time watcher and I just subscribed.

Welcome to the channel and Thank you. Ants are absolutely an issue. Background checks weren’t something we even thought of when we started. However, after our 5th park that asked we decided to mention it. Virginia and Florida are the top 2 so far. One was an older park and the other was a brand new park that just opened.

[@adriannurse1502]

@@discoveryboundrv Wow! We are originally from Virginia and now call Florida home. Fortunately we haven't run into that yet. I definitely would find another park.

We purchased our RV from Staunton, VA and Harrisonburg, VA is where our youngest daughter was born. The Shenandoah Valley is so relaxing and fun.

Correlle can and does break occasionally… and when it does it absolutely shatters into many tiny pieces. Ask me how I know? Lol

I find screws all the time too. I am going to have to crawl around to find where they came from one day. And SSN? I will have to know how they handle those before i give mine out. I worked in IT where we took payments and you can't just store those without a good bit of security. I suppose I could see the need to check for predators since there are a lot of kids in campgrounds but still leary of giving it out. BTW, we started Hangin' with the Harrises a few months ago and just came across your channel. Loved this one.

Honestly. Try Irish Spring bar soap. I have a 23 year diesel pusher and I don’t have bugs because of bars of soap. This can’t least help inside.

People never talk about how solar panels quit working when the weather isn't nice . They also never talk about how there going to charge there huge battery bank when it's drained. I just went to a rest area last night thinking that I was going to lay down and rest and do some deep thinking but right when I layed down a bunch of diesel semi trucks were idling and I had to end up leaving.
