Newbie Guide to Travel Trailer Campground Setup

[@aj_the_gr8460]

Just bought my first travel trailer and I've been watching a ton of videos, but this was by far the BEST setup video out there! Thank you!

[@4EverHoneymooning]

That is very kind of you, thank you.

[@johnstone2265]

Great video

[@OpenRoad4Two]

Great walk through on the steps! The glow in the dark tape idea is genius and cost effective. New subscribers and can't wait to follow along.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Thank you! We tried to share the things we struggled with when we first started. The tape has definitely saved our shins and ankles on a few occasions.

[@raymondschneider5217]

Totally agree with your comment re: the reflector tape on the stairs; GREAT IDEA! Thanks for sharing that tip, 4EH. Y'all Be Safe!

[@starpenta]

I still don't have a trailer and had no idea so much set-up was involved but this is a great video. I will definitely keep this in mind when we can get going!

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Thank you!!! It is tough right now to find deals, but it should stabilize within the year and make it easier to get one. They are a lot of work, but so worth it.

[@michaelbarras6950]

Just a little tip. Turn your propane cover around. If for any reason the door on top was left open or loose, while traveling it could flop open and you could lose the door from wind pressure. If turned around this will not occur. You guys are on top of things on setup! Very thorough. Thanks for showing the RV community how it's done!👍👍☝✌🇺🇸❤

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Another wise thing to consider.

[@822dennis]

I will be a newbie in 6 weeks. Thank you for making this video.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Thanks for watching Dennis. You'll be a pro in no time.

[@julierojano4423]

I have been watching a lot of videos and you guys did a great Job!! Not too mention we are about to purchase a 2020 Rockwood mini lite 2506s which it looks just like yours. So that is even more great! Do you guys have a tear down video for this trailer? Also any tips for us with owning the mini lite? It will be our very first trailer. Also is that a Tundra you're pulling it with? We have a Toyota Sequoia 2010 limited with tow package. I've heard that there is a few things we need to have done to our suv before we start towing, something to do with brakes and sway hitch lol sorry first time owners of a trailer. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!!

[@4EverHoneymooning]

We do have the 2506S and pull it with a Tundra. What size motor does the Sequoia have? You really want to look into more than the tow capacity. Brakes, Trans, and motor all come into play. Even the Tundra can be challenged by our trailer in the mountains. The only tear down video we have done so far is the black tank management video we did.

[@leffordfate2426]

Thank you this was very helpful. I am almost secure enough to buy the doggone thing.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

You will be just fine. We promise you will love it.

[@grumpymark2938]

Cant believe I did not know how to take off the gloves properly, Thanks for that little but important tip.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

It's an easy thing to not think about, but we see so many people take them off in the strangest (and dangerous) ways.

[@rosarodgers7539]

Thank you for your excellent presentation of the set-up process! Also, & not having annoying background noise/ 'music' overlayed is a breath of fresh air -;). Just having the natural sounds around your site is the way it should be & not an orchestra playing - lolo

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Thanks for the feedback. Although we do sometimes put music in videos, we try to make the focus be our natural audio.

[@melcarpenter462]

We’ve looked at a multitude of newbie videos while we’re awaiting our new travel trailer build/delivery and you guys really did an awesome job! Thanks from some Michiganders getting ready to move up from our T@G 13’ with outdoor kitchen to a 26 footer with full utilities and slide.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

You will love it. It's the perfect size for getting in to so many places and you still get the benefit of fully "glamping."

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Wow, what a great compliment. Thank you so much.

[@crickettebennett1346]

Thank you so much this was so very helpful! We have tent camped and then with a motorhome for many years, but we just bought our first trailer and we are so lost. We will need to watch so many more. lol

[@4EverHoneymooning]

That's what we did. Watched hundreds of hours of videos. But also, practice at your home. Set it up fully and get comfortable.

[@HIZGINE]

Put the Trailer on Risers, or in other words (Put Boards or spacer pads underneath the Tires). Lay them out on the Ground, then either pull or back over them to raise the Trailer. Solves the Step Height Problem.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

I don't know that it will fix the step problem, because the trailer will be uneven if we over list the passenger side. The problem is when the area where the steps land is higher than the area the trailer is sitting on.

[@harrynickel8691]

Great video. Very helpful. Thanks a bunch. Stay Calm and RV On. Harry & Cathy.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Thanks Harry and Cathy.. Stay Calm and RV on...love it.

[@juliacabael4219]

I just bought my first trailer and have NO CLUE what I am doing. This video was SUPER informative for me. I appreciate you taking the time to make this.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

We are glad it helped. We've done over 75 "set up break downs" this year and we still learn things. We liked having a checklist in the beginning to make sure we didn't miss anything critical.

[@hspb]

Congratulations on the purchase of your travel trailer! There are a LOT of different videos, and websites, that will have a list of setup procedures. My suggestion is to either write down a step-by-step list, or print one off from a website. It may not be exactly the list for your travel trailer, but you can make notes on it to better suit you. One thing to keep in mind, if you are unsure about something, when you get to your campsite, don't be afraid to ask another camper if they could help you out as well. Most people will be more than happy to help answer questions you may have or even assist you in setting up. Don't be afraid to be "that person" who has a piece of paper with a list on it, walking around your travel trailer making sure you have everything set up correctly. Skipping a step may end up with damage and costly repairs. Also, just a quick tip: If you are not familiar with backing up a trailer, take it to a "Big Box Store" parking lot and practice backing it up into a parking spot. You will have wide open spaces and feel more comfortable the first time you back up into an actual camping spot.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

@@hspb Great tips. We actually have laminated check lists for our trailer and boats. Pre-trip, set up, use, and breakdown individual lists. We also spent time in a large parking lot learning pivot points and backing.

[@connierobison7460]

All that information was wonderful. Purchased a Flagstaff Micro Lite and since it will just be me and my dogs was really scared to make my first trip in it as well as sitting it up correctly. Now, following your steps, it will be much easier

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Now that you have had it a few months how have it been going?

[@stevehughes3977]

Just bought the same trailer as you have! Then found your video. Perfect for us 1st timers. Thanks, I've watched several times now!!

[@stevehughes3977]

Wondering why people filter at the trailer rather than at the connection with the regulator

[@thedude20125]

@@stevehughes3977 I was told by someone that filters at the trailer they were worried their hoses got dirty when moving. Personally I always filter at the regulator because I only use that hose for my RV and I'd rather only have filtered water in it.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

We started with filters at the spigot, but as the hose moved with us repeatedly in humid environments, we started to worry about what might grow inside it.

[@tammiejordan6087]

Thank you that video was very helpful. Do you guys have video checklists for when you are leaving the park shutting down, cleaning pipes and dumping?

[@4EverHoneymooning]

We actually have a video for black tank management on the channel. If you don't find it let us know and we will send you a link. We will have to do a breakdown video in the near future. Thank you for watching.

So sorry we missed this comment. Have you taken the trailer out yet?

[@CrazyCanuckFitness]

Thanks so much for putting the time and effort into this set up video.... As a new RV owner, it is super helpful

[@4EverHoneymooning]

We are excited to hear that. We hoped to make something that would be very helpful. Enjoy the adventure.

[@barryreynolds7150]

Really appreciate the time you both invested in putting together this video. Very clear and concise directions on how to properly setup at your campsite. The tip about how to take off your gloves was so simple but something I have never seen before. The moride steps sure seem great when you first look at them but as you have shown do have their issues.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

We actually have gotten new steps recently. Same brand, but different legs on the bottom so we are hoping they will be easier to use. Thanks for watching.

[@newmedialaboratory]

Wow! One of the best RV intro vids I've seen so far. Thank you!

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Thank you. That is very kind.

[@dawndruckenmiller374]

Great video! I’ve been camping with pop-up/TT for many years, and still learned from your video. Specifically, using a surge protector. What brand surge protector do you use? I would suggest adding links to some of the products you use (if you have them, I couldn’t see them, lol). Thanks so much for a great tutorial.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Sorry for the delay. We were traveling. We actually use the Ptogressive EMS. Does more than a typical surge protector. Helps ensure you have a safe connection.

[@rwestrada4100]

Very well thought out video! We are planning our first RV purchase in the fall. Appreciate the time you guys took to make this...lots of great info!

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Thanks for watching. Sorry we missed your comment previously.

[@thedude20125]

Great video. If you ever want to switch away from wooden blocks an old plastic cutting board cut into 4 works great under the stabilizing jacks and usually costs nothing. Also the gloves, in the hospital I was taught to pull the first one off the same way you did but to use that glove now that it's inside out to pinch and pull off the second so you don't risk any contact but super glad you pointed out taking them off at all.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

We actually like the wood because it is more forgiving with rocks. That's a different technique than we both learned, but could work as well.

[@thurmangreen5346]

I really enjoyed watching this. We are schedule to pickup our travel travel this Friday. I am going to create a written checklist and post it in the trailer. Thank you for the video.

We are actively looking at travel trailers and watching your video has made me feel confident and less anxious. God bless you and please continue making more videos!

[@4EverHoneymooning]

That is so kind. Thank you. Take your time in looking. We knew exactly what we wanted and even now we still love our unit. Try to picture yourself in the unit in bad weather. A lot of people will tell you "I don't spend any time in the RV because that isn't camping. I want to be outside." But then you get hit with a storm (or two tropical storms like us) and you are in the unit 24 hours a day.

Going tomorrow to buy my first travel trailer and this video was so helpful! Thank you!

[@4EverHoneymooning]

That's great. Congratulations. Glad it helped.

[@aflyr]

Nice work guys! Hey, you might want to consider getting a LevelMate Pro. Makes the whole process of leveling easier/simpler. It's nice that I can sit in the cab of the truck and looking at the app get side to side level without wifey having to monitor anything. Then when I go to the jack I just take the phone and level front to back, again no need to setup a level anywhere. Your next rig you might want to consider one with an app to control things like slideouts/awnings/lights, etc. Our little Grand Design has the app and it makes it easy for me to do everything on the outside of the rig (like put out the slide), frees up wifey to do other things. I use the Hughes Power Watchdog, hardwired, so that I can check the app. No need to mess around with anything at the pole, very handy.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

We really should consider some options like that. We've just been old school. Does the system require cell service?

[@aflyr]

@@4EverHoneymooning Levelmate Pro works off of bluetooth only. Download the app, turn on the device, connect automatically. Works even if you don't have any cell service.

[@gaylejohnson8808]

You received great comments 👍! You guys are fantastic source!

[@caseypries7559]

I carry a level in the camper but seldom use it. The levelmate pro is far superior. I turn it on, put the Anderson levelers on the low side, back up until it says level side to side. Disconnect and raise the tongue jack until it says level front to back and set the stabilizers. Takes 5 minutes tops and it's a one person job. Also, your steps are springing back up because you're bending the metal plate they're attached to. You actually needed to lower the legs a hole or so until they set firm. If your door doesn't clear at that point you have some issue, maybe that plate is severely bent. I have the exact same steps on a RW ultra lite so I'm quite familiar with them.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

The level mate would be a good add on, but the steps have been bent since day one. We've removed legs, dug holes, and all kinds of adjustments and still have issues. We aren't fans.

[@caseypries7559]

@@4EverHoneymooning I've had pretty good luck with mine but I would prefer the LCI ones which have a squeeze release instead of pins to adjust the feet. I often lift and readjust the steps 4 or 5 times to get them just right but once they're adjusted they are nice and solid. I would recommend removing them and straightening out the mounting plate. Then you can get them to work correctly.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

@@caseypries7559 I agree. They are nice and solid once you get them settled. It is going in under warranty and we are hoping we can have them fixed/replaced. Honestly, in looking at other trailers of the same size the stairs are much smaller. We've never lowered the legs more than one pin length so I think ours are too large for our trailer. Great advice though. Thanks for watching.

[@caseypries7559]

@@4EverHoneymooning If the steps are bent down you wouldn't be able to lower them much and still get your door to shut as I bet that plate is bowed upward quite a bit. I noticed your screen door rubbing as you shut it and that's never happened to mine however the outside door rubs if the steps are too high. I noticed early on that this seemed like it could be an issue if someone didn't realize it and stepped on them while the legs were set too short. It's quite possible it's been like this since you bought it.

Great Video!! We bought our Mini Lite late last season and have only boondocked. We haven’t go to use our shower with aqua view and still not sure how to use that lol. Is there anything you have to do with the water heater on the outside when you have full hookup! When people do reviews they talk about switching a nob on the outside water heater when you’re fully hooked up? This year we have some spots with full hookups and want to make sure we do it right. Thanks again for a good video! Seg from CO!

[@4EverHoneymooning]

No, we just choose which method we want to use and flip the switch inside. If you are hooked up at a campground and not needing a lot of power you can just flip the electric switch and it actually heats it up pretty quick. We rarely use our gas, but make sure you try and stay well under 30 amps of usage. If we are using a lot of power we switch our fridge and water heater to gas. I don't recall the Aqua View?

Camping is so nice when there is a forest to camp in or a lake to park by. The one step up from a Wal-Mart parking lot for $50.00 per night is such a sad waste of money. Uggggh. I am glad you have a truck to pull that trailer with. Camp safe and enjoy.

Thanks!

Hubby and I just decided to start looking into this yesterday, we need to move in 6 months due to his ship moving so I'm trying to fast track my research, thanks for the help!!

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Good luck with your search. Let us know if you need any more help.

[@JonnyGoodwood]

Very helpful. Thank you guys

[@thorin111063]

Didn't understand anything about removing the sway bars...

[@4EverHoneymooning]

We have another video all about removing them. Let us know what you think.

[@andrewmancini2178]

Super helpful I saved this! I am renting my first one in a few weeks then again in September. I will definitely watch again.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Glad it was helpful! Let us know how the trips go.

[@CampingAroundTheBlock]

Great video.. love the behind scenes look

[@kennycunningham8721]

We have camped full time since 2014 and are traveling with a F-350 and a 43ft toy hauler on the fridge when traveling we put it on gas then switch to electric .

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Lot's of people do it, but that doesn't make it safe. We choose to take the safer route any time we travel. We have both seen a lot of a things in our life we never want to repeat in our own. But you do you.

[@anthonyguess5528]

I know their more expensive than I would definitely go with a Hensley hitch you don't have to worry about those bars and you have so many more angles available to you

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Might be something to move to in the future. Our at up hasn't let us down in well over 100 trips and 25,000 or more miles.

[@carmelbeham]

When the campsites reservation asks for rig size, does that mean just the travel trailer, or the trailer+ truck? Thanks for you videos

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Traditionally it is the trailer size. They usually build the tow vehicle into their equation. We had one experience where we had to park the truck nearby. But it of all our stops(well over 100) it was the one only.

[@cosmojinxable]

Very helpful video, thanks for sharing!!

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Glad it helped. Thanks for watching

[@brendaschroeder2166]

Nice video. We just bought our first travel trailer and our first trip is 4/1, Watching all the videos we can

[@4EverHoneymooning]

It's a good idea. We learned a lot from watching videos. Just put together a nice checklist and take your time. You guys will be just fine.

[@jenniferchristopher6366]

Great video for a newbie!👍

[@lisastephens6869]

I just bought my first travel trailer. Thank you for the information.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

You will have some great times. Hope our video helped.

[@2000talon]

Really thoughro good examples keep it simple video. Cheers from Canada!!

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Thanks! That was our plan. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@davemacgyver573]

You should connect the water and purge all the water lines of air, BEFORE you turn on the propane or connect the electric. Good way to destroy your electric heating element if the water heater is empty.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

You are assuming we turn on the water heater right away. It's actually one of the last things we do. Traveling in the Southwest, my primary goal after a safe set up is getting the air conditioning going. We do run water during set up (not in video), but also almost never have air in our lines. I'm not sure I understand your logic on not turning on electric or propane unless your unit doesn't have a switch for the WH. You do have a good point for the WH though. Running water before turning on the WH isn't a bad idea.

Nice video overall. However at the 20:37 mark when "slowly" opening the black tank cap you were right in line with the discharge port. This is begging to take a nasty bath if it leaked at all. You want to be as far to the side as you can reach as you remove the cap. I worked as an aircraft mechanic for over 25 years and saw far too many get smurfed and then have to get tetanus shots when they took a bath from the contents of the tanks when removing the cap.

[@4EverHoneymooning]

Slowly opening the cap is a must. When the side is out there isn't much of an option. Been lucky the first few hundred times.

[@fasteddie617]

Very punctual, well done 👍

[@davidalford7165]

Great video I have been looking at the Rockwood Mini which model do you guys have ?

[@4EverHoneymooning]

This is a very late response, sorry, we missed your comment. You've probably figured it out already, but it is the 2506S
