Tanya and Dave, I have a class “A” 43 foot motor home and have been living in it since 2015 and have found one thing that made all the difference to me was a Simply Safe Alarm system. I put sensors on all my doors and windows (that open more than a few inches) as well as all the storage spaces underneath. I downloaded a GPS APP that gives me the physical address as well as the coordinates and put the physical address into the Simply Safe app whenever I park even if it is only for a few hours. This way the town I am in monitors my safety whenever I turn it on. I also have their smoke detector, motion detector, glass breaking detectors.

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

That’s great, thanks so much for sharing how you keep yourself safe. We may need to look into Simply Safe as well!

[@nanabutner]

@ I promise you won’t regret it. I have. driven coast to coast and stayed in all kind of places from camp grounds/RV PARKS TO truck stops and parking lots and never was afraid to go to sleep! You can download their apps and arm and disarm your system from your phone even if you are miles away from your RV. THERE IS ALSO A PANIC BUTTON YOU CAN PLACE DIRECTLY BESIDES YOUR BED IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. I also got a friend to install the system in their home as well as my daughter and myself(I have two systems). Simply Safe works for RV as well as for permanent dwellings. Another plus is your smoke detector is being monitored even when your system isn’t armed. I FOUND THAT OUT WHEN I WAS PAN FRYING MY DINNER! If I am not mistaken you can add on a carbon dioxide detector to your system so you are constantly monitored especially when you are sleeping!

[@jodymooney255]

…but don’t you need WiFi for your Simply Safe? We had installed an alarm system (DroneMobile) since we had our catalytic converter stolen.

[@nanabutner]

@ No! The BASE UNIT is it’s own wifi! That is why it works almost anywhere! Up until 6 months ago-- (thanks to T-mobile) I never had actual wifi in my RV, but went everywhere across the country with just my dog and cat all the while being monitored when ever I stopped and put the physical address into my settings on the Simply Safe app.

[@kathleenpullano3848]

That's a great idea but do keep in mind that if your in a rural area it would likely provide no protection for your physical safety as it takes a while for the sheriff to get to you.But it's still a valuable safety net

[@patriciabandeko3842]

You also might want to put reflective strips on you rig like big trucks have and if you park in a truck stop don't park all the way back of the spot. Be visible to trucks backing in next to you. I'm a trucker and sometimes rv's and campers are hard to see when we back in. Be safe folks ❤

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Thanks for the great safety tip Patricia! We appreciate it!!

[@Lynn-i9i9m]

Good idea! And so true for truckers especially along the passenger side of a big rig.

[@SewingBoxDesigns]

Our mechanic keeps trying to talk us into getting a used coach because he hates our old diesel uhaul conversion. But we feel a LOT safer having built our own rig and knowing every inch of it. I think the best thing an RVr can do is learn their rig inside out from the start. Get the manuals, learn the systems, so even if you don't do the repair yourself, you'll know when some repair shop is BSing you. Stay safe! 😃👍🏼

[@carmonhendrickson2825]

Everyone new to RVing should be required to watch this video. We have been seriously RVing for 24 years and luckily we have only had one major water leak caused by overloading the cabinet where our water filter was located. We had one propane incident when one of us bumped into the stove when the slide was in and accidentally turned the stove on. We immediately recognized the smell and figured out the problem. One must be diligent about safety. Being overweight causes handling issues. Tire pressure,tire wear and tire age are all important. We replace all tires over five years old even if they are not showing that much wear. Our kitchen gear includes one frying pan, one microwaveable dish, one cookie sheet and one tea kettle. We use paper plates with heavier disposable plastic plates under them. We only have four settings of silver wear. Again, most excellent video, thanks for taking the time to post.

[@DMB-pe8hk]

These are great tips. Please remember to check tire dates printed on them bc many dealers sell old tires. Last I heard, there is still no law about this, and tires get brittle.

[@jacquieenger6126]

Great tips! I want to stress getting a carbon monoxide detector! We almost lost I lives a few years ago in our stationary camper when we had a furnace leak, someone in my head woke me up( divine intervention?) & literally told me " your being poisoned by carbon monoxide, you need to get out" over & over. I was getting the brunt of it in the back bedroom & my husband/ dog were sleeping by the slider that was cracked open,. I literally crawled to my husband & woke him. We got out by the grace of God! The carbon monoxide alarm was on the wall with dead batteries. Lesson learned!!! Thanks to a higher power watching out for us!!

[@jacquieenger6126]

( & our dog= she had her nose in the sliding glass door that we had cracked= so she was fine! Me? Confusion, worst headache I've ever had & lethargic, my whole body hurt! It was no fun & very scary!

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Wow, that is so scary. Thanks so much for sharing. You and your family are blessed!

[@skilltreed540]

Good tips. We part timed for 4 years & full timing now going on 3 years. We have a TT. When my husband and I are staying in a parking lot... one safety feature we started doing....was to pull our camper stairs inside & and shut the door. A simple cane works to grab the stairs with the hook & then use the hook on the door. Our TT sits up high making it more difficult to get inside. If folks are wondering...well how can I insure safety staying in a strange city. Look up the reviews of the businesses that surround the parking lot. People aren't afraid to say...if it looks a bit sketchy. Safe Travels!❤

[@Bowie_E]

This was so helpful. My interest is the number one locks throughout the entire van to prevent any breaking an entry

[@claudieC.]

No mention of fire extinguishers? I would get at least 2. One for the engine and one for the kitchen. Can use both during a fire, if needed.

[@tracyLoJo]

In addition to fire extinguishers, include a couple of fire suppression blankets. They work very quickly to smother fires such as on a stovetops and are mess-free. I got these for all the family for Christmas this year.

[@airstreamer]

I think the one we hear and see the most is the speeding over the tire rating. Thanks for laying these out in a clear, precise order. - Michelle

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Thanks Michelle for sharing, yes, the speeding over the tire rating seems to happen a lot!

[@airstreamer]

@@LetsTurnItUpWorld 🙃

[@katherineboyd4031]

I love your videos! I lived 8 yrs in a 19ft 1976 Dodge Sportsman my with my cat, while working and finishing college. After 10 yrs in a house, I am in now considering returning to roadlife. I recommend always knowing where closest police stations and hospitals are when parking. I since got firearm training and recommend single women be armed legally (take a class, hire a coach). When camping and even at my house, I put out two chairs so people wouldn't know I am alone.

[@alicial6072]

I use a Tire Pressure Monitoring System on my trailer tires, it gives me the comfort of knowing that they aren't heating up and expanding in pressure.

[@Tsiri09]

You gained a subscriber here. ALL valid points. Especially tire speed ratings. Every state ( I live in NM) has speed laws for trailers. In NM it's 65 and I see so many RV's of every type and big rigs blowing past at 70 and over. "I haven't had a problem yet" is the cry of many who have blowouts, wrecks and breakdowns. Add in wheel bearings- waiting until there's a problem is disastrous. I use USA made bearings, changed every year and high performance grease. I don't scrimp when it comes to the wheels, tires, bearings, breaks and checking the trailer's frame welds. As for mold, people fail to realize that propane is a wet fuel- you can have mold in the desert- the fifth wheel that was given to me had it. Two statements I've been handed by people: 1. You don't need a security camera- you live in an RV. Crime is increasing, and yes, I do have and everyone should have a security camera. 2. If you're so scared to live in an RV, move to an apartment. To those people, I remind them that I own what I'm living in and rv lot rent is FAR cheaper than an apartment where I live ($255 rv lotvs $1400 per month for an apt), and moving is much easier for me. I also get the "why don't you have a vehicle that can tow your rv?" I don't need one. I can call a tow truck.

[@somnaw]

Welp, you guys are doing a great job reminding me all the reasons why I shouldn't do it, especially solo. I can't say I ever heard any of those lies, but your true regarding those lies are more what I've figured is going to be the problems and has kept me from actually doing it

[@tinaquintana9810]

Squirrels have chewed through the hose on the propane tank of my tiny house twice!! Lucky I caught it pretty quick but it drained almost the entire tank! Now that I’m stationary for a while I have pvc pipe covering the hose. Love all the great tips and reminders in this episode!

[@kimberleesmith2703]

Rabbits, squirrels and other rodents love to chew wires because they taste salty to them. FYI always check everything possible in your RV for all types of safety. Make a checklist and make it part of your set up and take down.

[@CeeCee1758]

We never drive our RV, Class A, overweight. My husband always weighs our RV before we leave for a trip.

Keeping your location updated to friends or family. In case of an accident while camping in out of the way locations.

[@lakeseminole]

You are both so happy and provide a lot of good information. I've seen campers put a generator within 2 feet of their unit! The minimum is 10 feet and then you should consider the wind direction! Always take time to think about your safety FIRST. As you do, turn off all propane while travelling and I always insured I had two added safety devices front and back within my unit. I also ALWAYS installed two QUALITY fire detectors one in front and one in the rear regardless of what the camper already has. Today, high lumen solar lamps are cheaply available and I would place on on each side on my camper. Humidity inside is critical to your environment. Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!

[@amandaparker-wd8oe]

I don't live in a camper. So I don't know what it's like. But my family is a camping family. We have had many RVs and Vans, and also an old-school Volkswagen bus. One good tip I found is to keep your propane and other cooking fuels disconnected. Only connect it when you're using it. Keep the storage caps on them. That will minimize problems.

[@carolutley6523]

There's a KZbinr/camper who sets up motion sensor alarms around his truck-camper. With different sounds to indicate where the intruder is.

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

I never heard about #1 because I never watched any channels where the RV was new. I am mostly interested in used Class B+. Specifically the Phoenix Cruiser. I may have tuned in on a new RV channel just to see what the unit was like but nothing more. So I think, personally, I would have to call that a matter of not accessing a video supplying the information . BTW: Tanya I love your scarf! I knew about propane leaks and fires. RV’s like to go up like a match. The parking lot thing has been addressed a few times. Many parking lots cannot be used anymore. Definitely have heard about theft. And water/propane leaks. The videos on a lot of this stuff are old. There are also water filtration videos from numerous RV’ers. But it never hurts to go over things anyway. Thank you for taking the time! Vaya con Dios!

Wow, I only live vicariously through these RV life videos and have never had the opportunity to do this myself (and probably won’t ever be able to but that’s okay-I enjoy the videos) but I learned SO MUCH from your video. It was so right to the point and easy to understand and you talked about things I hadn’t ever considered before. I love your videos, you guys are such a cute couple living life to the fullest and I truly envy that. I lost my partner of over 20 years to a fatal heart attack and it pretty much instantly changed my entire life. I often watch your videos to get my mind off the sadness and I am thankful for that. Keep living your best life, your videos make a difference in my life☺️ T.

[@geocacherny7030]

The only time my old class C propane was turned off was to refill it .. i guess I was really lucky in my 7 years having it.

[@geocacherny7030]

I also never had my water tank less than 3/4 most of the time, I found a lot of campgrounds had horrible water at when I had good water I always had it full.... I also never got good gas milage, I guess that's why.

[@douglaseuritt3919]

I have a lot of issues with propane in an RV that comes from living aboard a ketch back in the day. When we were laying out the various systems in our Defender overland camper, we decided to go with diesel for our stove and secondary heater. Everything draws from a single line in the main tank. We did keep the end of the tube a few inches above the bottom of the tank to insure that we couldn’t inadvertently empty the tank!

[@Y3ARxOFx53RP3NT]

The only thing about a RV or anything like it that would drive me nuts is the fact that there's absolutely no protection from gunfire if a nut decides to walk up and shoot while you are sleeping, that's also the reason why I didn't sleep in a tent when I was homeless a few years ago.

[@snowysnowyriver]

That thought has occurred to me too. It puts me off even taking a vacation in an RV.

I covered the vent below our stove because a mouse was hitchhiking and coming through the vent. Thankfully we had a charged carbon monoxide detector because my act of covering the vent set it off. Scary!

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

[@ZebaKnight]

Nobody I know of has lied about this, but I've never seen a video that discusses it, either. I live in the Northeast where some overpasses are 9' high. I wonder, are there GPS systems for tall/oversized vehicles that screen out routes that involve low bridges or other factors that would make passage impossible?

[@phalypso]

Stop into a branded truck stop and ask for a Class 8 truck atlas. They are not cheap, but the information about roads, highways and clearances in one is astounding. Get one every couple of years to stay current.

[@ZebaKnight]

@@phalypso Thanks!

[@OrmondOtvos]

Very useful safety and mold tips. CO monitor a must everywhere, all the time. Always check for stones between duallies! You showed a radiant heater. Big fire danger no no. The small catalytics are safer, if they have tipping protection. Mold ventilation maybe better from lower down so you don't lose so much heat. Try asking a cop where to park. We motorcycle toured for a couple years. Worked great for restaurants!

[@Gordonbanksapp]

Propane and space heater heating? Look into unleaded or diesel tapped fuel tank for heating. You never run out of fuel and much safer than propane, especially diesel.

[@Shihtzu99]

I’ve long thought RVers should have a dummy sitting in drivers seat while you sleep. People won’t be able to tell it’s not a real person unless they stare closely.

[@amechealle5918]

As a Single parent I am crazy about safety especially since we have been going on road-trips for over 40 years. One of my buddies gave me a dummy that looked like him so he could live vicariously through us. We had that dummy for almost 30 years and he definitely kept us safe! Now we have a skeleton (full sized left over from Halloween ) it’s made being on the road interesting, lol

[@thecrafteaneighbor5177]

Thanks so much for these tips, Tanya & Dave. I really appreciate it. I especially would like to make a comment about your tip on Carbon Monoxide. CO is not something to take lightly. My husband & I have a daughter-in-law who experienced a great tragedy due to CO. On Valentine's Day night, about 14 years ago, her parents went to bed not realizing their furnace was leaking CO into their home. Due to the odorless nature of CO and not having an alarm system to detect the gas, they continued sleeping and did not survive the night. It's a true and very, very sad story. So, our daughter-in-law and all of us in her family are big advocates for CO and fire alarms in any home, including traveling homes. Do an occasional check on these alarms to insure your safety after installing them. You just never know when an alarm might give the warning that could save your life. God bless you both. Sue 😊❤

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Thank you for sharing your very sad story Sue. We are so sorry for your loss. Your experience is such a scary reminder to make sure that your carbon monoxide detectors are always working.

[@joshuahoward1680]

We don't have an RV, but we rent an 80s-vintage trailer that supposedly has central heat and air, but the unit is always broken, and I don't think all the "ductwork" (which is the flexible dryer ducts, not the rigid metal) is still attached. Probably resembles swiss cheese, given that we've seen 3 opossums and half a dozen cats come out from under us in the 5 years we've been there. So space heaters are a thing. We have cats, so safety in regards to auto-shut-off is important to us. We use a tower heater (De’Longhi HFX25S15L, if anyone wants to look it up) that works really well, and will shut itself off if it is so much as nudged (annoying sometimes, because when the cats get the zoomies, it gets bumped into a LOT) as well as an internal sensor to keep it from overheating. It wasn't the cheapest alternative, but it wasn't close to the most expensive, either (I want to say we payed just under $90 after tax), and it heats the main living/kitchen area very well, so should do even better in an RV situation. It's electric, so it will use your battery, but it's efficient, and has an ECO mode and thermostat. It can also be used during warm months as a fan-only.

[@kavitadeva]

Hi Tanya and Dave. So glad you just showed up in my feed for no reason but of course there is a reason and I'm so glad that I found your channel again I saw one video a long time ago and I remember saying I really like these people you know I wish they would stop calling it the van life, I mean I've had five motorhomes and I tried living in a van and no way could I do it as one older woman with my service dog with my service dog. Now that does not mean I am rich because I had five motorhomes this is over a 20-year period of traveling and exploring. I'm really glad you brought up safety one thing you didn't bring up which I find interesting is the worst problem I ever have had and always have is law enforcement. I would think I'm fine to Boondock and there are so many places where cops hate motor homers because to them it means homeless people that are going to leave trash everywhere and dump their waste down the gutter. I lived in Redondo Beach with my motorhome they have a 24-hour ban against what they call large Vehicles which aren't large at all it stops at 21 ft2

I never fill the gas tank in my van unless I'm going long distances in the middle of nowhere. That can be something overlooked regarding weight. I just have a Chevy Express van so I usually don't really have to worry about the weight until I start loading it with my band and their gear. When I travel for fun though, I travel very light. I just think the full tank makes the van feel less powerful and that first quarter tank seems to burn fast. Especially in a place with a lot of hills or mountains. I'm sure it helps with the brakes when going down hills and mountains.

Being retired and having an older mobile home to sell, I may have to look for a van to purchase. I am not looking forward to moving out of my home.

I’m dreaming of the day I can buy a camper van or even a pro master to convert. Hope I can meet you guys one day on the road if I’m alive lol.

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Asking for ideas or lies. Not really sure where this applies, but living in a van or small rv involves moving stuff all day long.

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Thanks for sharing, very true!

Im surprised you dont have a gasoline version of a diesal heater. they're very efficient and pull from your vans fuel tank

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Thanks for sharing. Our generator pulls from our van’s fuel tank, but not our heater.

Grills, particularly charcoal grills, produce huge amounts of carbon monoxide.

Thanks so much for sharing Mary!

On the point of a “full” water tank. I’ve had rvs where the handling was greatly improved with a full tank. I challenge most to know whether a full water tank versus a half tank of water matters. Too many factors. Point being. Experiment with the variables to determine what works best for you

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

That’s interesting. Thanks for sharing!

NEVER pull off into grass or brush with a hot tailpipe. Wildfire will follow.

Propane leak can you store an alarm with the tanks? Small space fire 🔥 can you get a fire blanket and extinguisher Question on small space - I like space, have you considered an inflatable tent and inflatable garage? They sell in Amazon? They are 4 season canvas tents. Question safe spaces - is it possible to travel and only park in camp sites? Rest stops with security? What about a large dog? Kane corso? Weight capacity and theft? I was thinking of towing a small trailer for storage. A lockable one wit😂 cameras? Cold climate - is a portable snowblower useful to keep the van dug out?😂

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Thanks for watching. You ask a lot of great questions. We all should have a fire extinguisher, which we ourselves have, and make sure you know how to use it! Good question about a propane leak alarm we aren’t familiar with an alarm for propane at least for camper vans. We do have an inflatable tent that we use sometimes, especially in the winter since it is a hot tent with a wood stove inside! You could stay only in camp sites. We just find that sometimes we just want a quick overnight while on the road and a truck stop or safe parking lot is more convenient for us. Large dogs would be a great deterrent for sure!! You can definitely tow a small trailer assuming you stay within your weight and tow limits. We generally just use a good strong metal shovel in the winter that works for us in ice and snow (one that is often used by avalanche rescue teams). We hope this helps, thanks for sharing your questions!! 😀
