One thing I would add, prior to unplugging the power cord, you always want to shut off your ac units inside the rv and let them cycle off. Cutting the power while they are running is very hard on them.

KARL! BUDDY! PAL! When you turn the valve on the hose splitter to shut off the water to the pressure regulator, instead of just disconnecting and getting sprayed as you disconnect from the spigot, open one of the other valves on the splitter to relieve the pressure first. Tip from the Hinks 😂

Hey Hanks. I have a tip I use when checking the exterior lights when your doing it alone. I set my phone in the front of the rig recording all the lights. Then go inside and test the lights and turn signals. Then set the phone recording the back lights and go inside and test the brake lights and turn signals. Then watch the video to see if everything works. It works great.

TIP: On my round wall clock I attached a small piece of Velcro on the bottom side. Once I hook the top on the screw then I press the bottom to center it. Easy to remove to change batteries or adjust and it never bounces off the mount. One less thing to secure on travel day!

Kyle, when ever you leave your gray valves open. Make sure to put a p-trap in it at the edge of your slinky, this keeps water in the line so fruit flies and any other flying things can’t come up the pipe. Safe Travels 😎

Hey Kyle, we’re semi full time. We travel 10 months a year. I don’t like heights, nor do I think it’s good to be on the roof to often. So… we purchased a Greenworks battery operated blower and a 12’ collapsable ladder. On travel days I simply pop up the ladder and blow off the slide-outs with the blower. Easy. Think about it. Safe travels, keep up the good work. We enjoy your Thursday videos very much.

Just a cautionary tale: we were pulling our brand new 40’ Montana home and left the blinds down. By the time we got home I guess they got to swinging pretty well and 2 of the blinds pulled completely off the roller (they are basically just glued on). Needless to say, there is no way to get them back on neatly. We had to order new ones and the shipping charge was expensive. We’ve never left them down again.

We also LOVE our electric blower for the roof and our rugs ((since we have 3 dogs)) helps to keep the dirt out of the camper. Love the Hooks idea. Always look forward to Thursdays. Be Safe.

Save yourself from slide toppers…our full wall slide still gets water underneath if it has rained (have to ‘kneel’ the rig…and heaven help you if its a windy night. Those things squeak, rattle and roll, and not in a fun way. I know many RVers who have to pull slides in so the toppers don’t keep them awake. As to shades…down. They help keep sun out on hot days, and if it’s cold out, stop it radiating in.

Ol, 89 C class, since I have a bedroom in the back I use the front top sleeper as storage and I also put my 52'' tv, fits perfectly. All that to say that when I'm about to leave, I start from the front to the back. Grab the tv and bring it on the bed in the back, next I unplug the computer and tie it down with bungees, then everything that's on the kitchen counter (Coffee maker, block of knives and pitcher of water go in the sink. Now for outside, pull the black tank, grab bike and bring it inside, put the stairs away, lock the side door, go upfront, unlock the 2 doors, start Francine up(my rigg), go out shut the water off and loosen the hose a bit, close black tank, open grey tank, unplug the electric and put the extension cord on the floor passenger side. Unhook the hose+ filter, close the grey tank, unhook the tube, take hose and pour water down the tube WITHOUT THE HOSE TOUCHING THE TUBE to make sure it is well rinse. Grab the tote out of Francine and put tube in it, unhook the hose + wrap it up and put away, but tote away next. Pop the hood and check all lubes, add accordingly if at all, get back in Francine get my USB key out and put in radio, get my phone out go on the map app and get my trip that I put in the night before and we're ready to Rock n Roll!! Takes me (because I'm alone) 30 minutes to do all of this.

All great points. We are also full time and have very similar systems to those you use. I agree about getting on the roof. I'm in my 70s and it gets harder every year to get up there. I have started using an extending pole, zip tied to a selfie stick. I can extend the pole as far as I need to, set my phone to record a video on the selfie stick, then raise the pole so I can video the tops of each slide. I bought a drone for that purpose but it's getting harder and harder to legally fly them and this system ends up being easier anyway. If I'm only dealing with a leaf or 2, I don't believe it is worth climbing on the roof. Also, (you may have said it but I missed it) but it is important to sweep the floors thoroughly before running in the slides. A single pebble on the floor can destroy your flooring. Keep the videos coming.

We’ve been using 3m Velcro and sticky hands for items we want handy but have a home when not using: tv remote, usb charging cables, toothbrushes. And I’m too lazy to constantly putting things in and out of a sink or on and off a bed, so I’ve got a home for every appliance and item and make a point of putting these things away when I’ve finished using them. Instant pot, air fryer, food processor, tea kettle, coffee pot etc. when everything has a place that is safe for travel it cuts down on time on travel day 🙂

I have two Basenji dogs that really jump all over the furniture, but I do use museum wax. It works very well. My mother had a cat that bounced all all over the walls. She used museum wax and taught it to me. It’s a very nice thing it’s a little expensive but well worth the money, especially if you have a really nice piece of pottery that you wanna show off and you’re worried about your cat might jump on it. What a wonderful video. I really enjoyed it and I’m now signed up to you on your newsletter as I’m preparing to be on the road maybe next year I’ve learned so much from you both. I’m 72 so it’s a different type of RV life for me than for you both but still I think it would be such a interesting adventure. See you soon in your next video.

Your best video yet !!! I don't know about museum putty, but we use Alien Tape (aka Nano Tape) for holding stuff in place... including pictures and the clock on the wall. It does not stain surfaces. We pinch one of the bed pillows between the refrigerator doors and the kitchen island. That keeps the frig from getting dented & scratched & holds the doors closed.. Extending the slideouts is a 2-step process. I move the slides out `1/2 way and visually check behind the slideout frame for stuff that fell into that space. We had stuff fall back there, and the motors ripped the slide frame apart. After I see the space is clear, I go ahead and open the slides all the way out.

To stop the rubbing on your desk get clear plastic edge/corner protectors. They stick on with clear adhesive. We use them because we have bins in our pantry that we slide in and out and they were rubbing the finish off the edges of our pantry frame. We stuck then to the corner edge and totally fixed the problem and the best thing is you can't even see the protector. We purchased two 8 foot strips at Home Depot for less then $10 each.😊

Hi, Gotta give myself a shout-out as we've been RVing more than half time for the past 7 years and haven't forgotten the water running into the black tank yet. (yet!) I routinely set a timer on my phone. When it goes off, I make a beeline to open the valve again (often I complete my other tasks before the timer goes off and I may open the valve early). I also don't plan to fill beyond 70%. It's worked for us, so far.

Thank you for this video. My wife and I are weekend warriors; however, we still want to do things correctly. I'm going to try double sided tape for things that we want to leave out and secured. The towel in the wet bay is a good idea. I would like to make a suggestion; My wife was cut by the bed frame in the bedroom. I looked and the side pushes the mattress. So, when we set up, I always move my mattress back over for her. Please keep the videos coming. I'm always learning. :)

We love your channel! You guys are fun to watch. I created shared notes on my phone: Leaving Storage List, Arriving Campground List, Leaving Campground List and Arriving Storage List. (Obviously, we aren’t full timers😁) Each of us can check off tasks as we do them. I take a final look at the list to make sure all things are complete. We never have to rely on our scatter-brain memories! This process has worked perfectly for us.

I’ve owned large yachts in the plus 155 foot category and museum Putty is a staple in this industry, it’s used in all areas, it doesn’t stain, it’s clear. When we started RVing I brought museum putty with me to that lifestyle. I also us bungee’s on my rolling dining room chairs like you do

We always ensure glass jars or any glass containers are not next to each other. We always put some plastic container between them so the don’t break during travel. We also cover one shelf we have nothing but bottles, soda cans and jars on, with a hair towel. That’s what my wife calls it, NeNe will know what that is. It keeps them from tipping over.

We keep our blinds down since they are still the Levolor style. We plan on getting shades but I think we will still keep them down just so we can keep the heat out as much as possible.

That’s a great way to keep the heat out! Sounds like you’ve got a good plan with the shades too. Thanks for watching and sharing your tips! ❤️

Alien tape is on everything in our RV. We remove the glass plate from the microwave. I personally enjoy working from the bedroom forward to the LR. As I finish each room I close the curtains and lock the doors in the open position. Tip... We keep a plastic disposable shower curtain on the inside so that I don't have to spend our vacation time scrubbing a shower door. Once the inside is done it's my job to help hubby hook up. Then I stand at what I call my stations. If he sees me standing by the power pole he knows his next step is to cut the electric. I'll stand at the back of the RV and wait for him to finish his list as his reminder to plug us in and I'll verify if lights are working etc etc...

When rolling hoses and power cords, learn to do an "over under roll." It's a technique for rolling cables (and hoses and rope) that prevents kinking and makes a nice roll.

Get pool noodle (cut to size) you can split and put on that counter edge that that small book storage boxes is rubbing the finish off during travel.

I use museum putty for everything and never had a stain. On the walls, on the stove, on the fake wood shelves under the tv and the dresser. All good. It does dirty of melt off the wall in really high heat. Happened in Moab.

Thanks for this one! I've never seen the corner brackets before! We use a bucket to store our shampoo and soap on travel days (which is also an emergency grey water bucket and "blue goo" black tank filler, BTW).
