Before you even back your rig into the site, it's good practice to plug your surge protector into power first. That way if there's a problem you can easily change sites if possible.

Hey! Great video! Just a quick tip, I always set my parking brake, especially when towing the rv because eventually it will eat up your gears. All the weight is sitting on the gears when the truck rocks into place. So if you set your parking brake while in drive and foot on the brake and then shift into park, the weight of the truck/trailer will be on the parking brake and not your gears! Happy camping!
@Five2Go
@Five2Go 5 жыл бұрын
That's interesting, I had never heard of that. I always use the parking brake when hooked up and stopped, but I've never engaged it while in drive. I normally put it in park and then stomp the parking brake down with my left foot before coming off the brake pedal. It may do the same thing?
@patricksmith2
@patricksmith2 5 жыл бұрын
Yup! Same thing as long as the parking brake is engaged before taking foot off of the brake. I was just commenting because you mentioned that you kept trying to get the trailer in place and it was rocking after in park. Always a good idea to put the weight on the parking brake and in turn the truck will hold its place while unhooking. Happy Camping! @@Five2Go

A very nice and informative video I enjoyed watching it... one thing I would like to clarify is a weight distribution hitch does not transfer the weight to the back of your trailer, that's actually a bad thing, a weight distribution actually applies Leverage to push more of the weight of the trailer onto the front wheels of your truck to distribute the weight more evenly across both axles of your truck.

Cool hose priming tip! We just went from a Travel Trailer to a 5th wheel but still got a good tip from your setup. Can I suggest placing your wood blocks long ways front to back at the tongue jack. This will provide better stabilization. In the event your trailer had any front to back motion the blocks could easily tip forward or back and the jack would land on the ground when you have the blocks side to side like in the video. Enjoy your time on the road with your family!

@Five2Go 5 жыл бұрын
We actually picked up some larger square blocks recently and have been using those. I've thought about those other blocks going front to back too, but with the chunky rubber blocks and the x-chocks, there's zero chance of this thing moving forward. Great tip though, thank you!

I'd rather not have whatever that is get inside my rig.

I’ll echo the great informative content especially for newbie RVers! Never thought to prime the water hose! Great tip! My wife has a checklist for everything just so we don’t forget anything. About wheel chocks, I learned the importance last summer. I backed up our GD Imagine TT into our seasonal spot alongside our 10’ x 30’ wooden deck. I had a heck of a time getting it close to the deck but did finally after a couple of hours! When I went to put down our manual stabilizing jacks between the the deck & the trailer, I had to go under the trailer. My nephew turned the wrench from 6 o’clock to noon & I turned from noon to 6 o’clock. And yes I forgot the chocks! After a couple of turns, the trailer rolled backwards. Pinning me under the hitch I beam. Resting on my right arm across my chest. I thought I was going to be crushed! Luckily there was a lot of campers around who came to my rescue. The longest 2 minutes of my life! I ended up with 5 stitches on my wrist where the I beam pressed my metal watch into my wrist. I went to the hospital as a trauma alert & walked out 5 hours later after all the testing to make sure my heart & internal organs were ok. And a big lecture from the ER doctor, Lol I’ve learned my lesson for sure & realized how very lucky I was! Thanks again for all you do making your videos and look forward to seeing more of your videos!

Nice video.on your hitch you might want to put some grease on your ball an sway bars.it will make it easier to backup.an truning.the app is cool.for a quick way to check your trailer is to put Level on the front an side.on driver side. For your water hose get an extension cord. Most of them are orange.the way I did it I left. Enough hose out to hook up the faucet.then just roll the hose up on the extension cord spool.

I remember watching this video before we got our travel trailer but now that we own one, I'm watching everyone's set-up and dump hook ups. Comparing what products you use and how you use them. Thank you for your video!! It is great helpful tips!! Yes, chock before you unhook is a really good idea! 😊 Question, when using your Lynx leveling blocks I see you only had them on ONE side. Is that normal? Do you only put them on ONE side? I guess with the levelmate pro you go by. The set of blocks comes in a set of 10. Do you only have 10 or do you get 2 packs? Our stabilizers are manual as well as our tongue Jack. We have sway bars which were given to us with our purchase of the t.t. I know you sold this camper and are looking for a class A but if you could reply that would be appreciated 😀

@Five2Go 4 жыл бұрын
You only need to raise one side to be the level of the other side. If you put blocks under both sides it kind of defeats the purpose! 👍😁👍 We did have two packs though because we used them under the stabilizers too so they wouldn't sink into the ground.

Suggest you wash the water connection with 20-1 Clorox to clean the connection before hooking up the water. I watched someone wash their sewer hose on a water tap a few sites from where you are parked. Even though there is no sewer there, they dumped their gray water in the trees. The first time I camped there was in the A section the week after the campground was opened as Thousand Trails. It was a vision then and all mud!. Been back hundreds of times.

I mentioned earlier that I bought the Andersen levelers and liked them, but I ended up returning them cause they were slicker than owl-sh** on concrete and asphalt and would slide out from under the tire as you tried to get up on them. So I will use 1-1/2”, 1”, 3/4”, and 1/2” boards long enough to fit under both wheels, with enough capacity (lift) to use under one wheel to raise the other wheel enough to change a flat. But the LevelMatePRO is a keeper since it tells you exactly how much you need under a side for it to be level, and makes it super easy to level front-to-rear and remembers your hitch height when you are ready to leave.

Two observations, I reverse the order of some of the things I do. The first things I do is check to see if there is eater and electric before I start leveling. Been caught all nice and level only to discover the electricity is bad and needing to move. Second, I recommend you look at the instructions of your electric tester, mine recommends you make sure the power is off, connect it, turn on the power, see the text results and only when you get a positive result do you turn off the power and plug in your rig. Then turn it on. But a good video, especially like the prime the water hose suggestion. Thanks.

There are two reasons we do level before checking electric really. First, only one campground in the last hundred has had an electrical issue. Second, we actually do the leveling before I even get out of the truck. We did a lot of talking about the process in this video so I was out there filming with Erin, but in reality she hops out and gets the levelers out of the basement while I fire up the app on my phone and yell out the window which side needs to go up 😋 That being said, we've encountered more sites with water issues than electrical for some reason... Your process for checking electric is what I show around the 6:30 mark. Hook up the surge protector, turn on the breaker, check lights, turn off the breaker, hook up the rig, turn on the breaker 👍 Thanks for the comments!

Yes. If you have two AC units you can't run both at the same time on 30. Depending on the cycle your AC is running in you may not be able to run your microwave at the same time, though that's kind of rare. We have a convection microwave oven in this rig and we can't run a high-temp convection cycle while the AC is running too. It really centers around the AC - those units eat up a lot of amps.

Do you guys use walkie-talkies to convert back-and-forth when he’s backing it in

We used to but we switched to cell phones after getting frustrated with walkies. The delay, no ability to talk at the same time, and needing to press a button to talk is really annoying when you're the one in the driver's seat. If we're somewhere without cell service we just take our time and communicate loudly with the windows down 😜

Found your channel and love it! Very informative and alot of help for us newbies. One question I have is what is taking a reading of temperature by the stabilizers for? Thanks for the great videos
@Five2Go
@Five2Go 4 жыл бұрын
That's one of the temperature sensors for our weather station. We have one probe outside, one in the freezer, one in the fridge, and the main unit itself displays a fourth temperature at its location. It's super handy for keeping an eye on things. We keep that outside probe down on the stabilizer foot for two reasons. First, we don't forget it when breaking camp because it's literally in the way. Second, it stays in the shade so we don't get a crazy high reading on a sunny day. Here's the one we have: amzn.to/2WsWtPl

I’m doing much research into rv life, I plan to get my rig within the next 2 years so I watch different nomad KZbin channels to compare. You are very easy to watch and your children are beautiful. Your puppy is so adorable and you are a very nice couple. Thank you again, safe travels and God bless you.

Just found this video.. good job, but I was scanning the comments to see if anyone else caught this. I have had a trailer roll on my even with chocks on certain grounds. Its a great idea to NOT unhook the chains until everything is stable. Also, stand clear. The chains will catch and keep the camper from rolling too far on you. Just a good safety idea and something I always follow. One other little thing.. run your water before connecting your hose just to flush out the line.. your filter will do the job, buy why add in extra junk and maybe even a wasp... Nice job and enjoy the camping!! We have been glamping over 4 years and 2 trailers... love it! enjoy!
