Picking Up Our SECOND RV | Class-C Walkthrough | RV Life

[@anthonym9452]

Thanks!. Good advice for those of us thinking of purchasing. Also Lee you have to be careful of the gators I think Pam can outrun you .

[@discoveryboundrv]

LOL. I think she had her plan already laid out. Anytime we visit the Wildlife Drive in Apopka, Pam moves straight to: "OMG they are going to get me". Getting her out of the truck was a challenge, and the whole time she wanted to get right back in. If we are in the area, we definitely stop by because the it's the only place to see the wildlife in an open preserve and up close for free. It's funny to see Pam's Mom do the exact same thing. We definitely wanted to show some of our walkthrough on the new RV. We hope it helps others to see that taking your time and learning your new RV is so important. Once you drive off the lot....EVERYTHING changes. Now we are headed West and the journey is only just beginning. Don't worry, our DBRV luck will be striking us hard in the next episode. Fun times and great adventures. Big "Thank You" for your amazing support from all of us here. Pam, Lee, the girls, and Tidbit.

[@williamschaaf6688]

Was looking forward to a complete walk-thru. More like an alligator drive by : )

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi William! We figured too much RV walk through gets a bit dry. Throw in some alligators to spice it up. LOL. We will show more of the rig interior in future episodes. Best, Lee

[@GoofMeister-fb5tq]

Yup. Won't be watching any more

[@georges4562]

That’s totally wrong to leave black tank valve open when you rinse the tank

[@slamboy66]

Not just used, but even new RV's need to be inspected. You wouldn't believe all the things I've spotted. Loose cabinets, propane line hanging down for outside grill. You will need after market front suspension parts to get the Ford to properly align or your going to fight the steering wheel. It's going to wander.

[@carolyngrover2038]

Hope you got an independent inspection

[@slamboy66]

@@carolyngrover2038 Yes, I am independent .

[@saraw6710]

We have a Jayco Greyhawk 31ds I think it’s as 2010. And it has been brilliant!!! I’m so glad I bought this make There are so many little extra nice bits that the others don’t have

[@discoveryboundrv]

We totally agree. Being in Florida the second AC makes a huge difference :)

[@johnsanford4569]

You can/ should have a NRVIA certified inspector inspect it on both new and used.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks John! Great point!

[@slamboy66]

Make sure the genset starts at the dealer.

[@emmanegri176]

Just know those gators can run 30 miles an hour. They like humans, and puppies.

[@adriannurse1502]

Congratulations on your new RV. I couldn't believe those people riding bicycles through an alligator preserve. An alligator can sprint at 35 mph for a short distance. I would never get that close to a fully grown alligator.

[@RichGiordano-q8h]

We bought a 30Z last fall! We love it. Had a few issues that the dealer had to address. Fridge stopped working and slam latch storage door lock cylinders wouldn’t move.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Congratulations on your 30Z. We have the same issues. Still working to get our fridge fixed. It’s been in the shop twice now. Safe travels. Pam & Lee

[@RichGiordano-q8h]

@@discoveryboundrv once the warranty is up, I may just swap in a 12 V DC fridge myself. But other than that, we love the rig. The dealer replaced the “cooling unit”. But I couldn’t see that they replaced anything.

[@RichGiordano-q8h]

If you don’t mind me asking what was wrong with your fridge? Mine wouldn’t cool on electric or gas. When I got it back, I checked it on electric and it worked very well. I’m hoping it continues to work.

[@discoveryboundrv]

@user-ll6zh2bi7c The fridge was installed wrong and it’s crooked allowing air to get inside the freezer and the whole thing is leaking damaging the wooden cabinet that holds it in. Jayco denied the first claim, and we took it back again. They changed the outer door seal and it didn’t do anything. Now we are going back for the third time. 😀

[@RichGiordano-q8h]

@@discoveryboundrv good luck I know how frustrating that is!

[@springfaith74]

Can't wait to see your adventures in your Class-C! And I just love the captions in the videos with random Pam/Lee facts.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you! We still laugh every time we go to write those. A little bit of Lee & Pam facts goes a long way. LOL.

[@johnzarrella5838]

Congratulations on the new rig!! We live about 30 miles north of where you bought it in Lake City, Florida. If you ever need to mooch dock we are 1.5 miles off I-75 and 40 miles from Georgia. We can hook you up with 50 amp and water no charge!!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi John! You’re the best. We will keep you posted on our travels and let you know when we are passing through. 👍

[@joshsuperduty1270]

Hey Lee n Pam how’s does Pam resembles Lisa Kudrow actress n has anyone stop 🛑 for your autograph ✍️

[@discoveryboundrv]

LOL. Not yet. I actually get that all the time. 😀

[@jonathan993]

Could you tell me what radio you have in the dash make and model thx a have a 21 e350 and trying to find a better radio like yall have

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Jonathan! Thanks for asking. 😀 We have a SONY AV Receiver, Model # XAV-AX8000

[@timf6916]

Yes sure you get all down on the walk through, when you are leaving you go to the end of the line with the service department on getting things fix due to the backlog on getting anything fix.

[@discoveryboundrv]

You’re not wrong Tim! If anything was broken on the rig, they would have to order the parts under warranty (takes forever) and then schedule an appointment once it arrives. The pain is real. 😀

[@victormendizabal8960]

I can’t wait for the tandem rides….the radios I think is gonna be essential….and I guess all your camera rig has to change 😅wowwwww this is the life I want no doubt.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Victor. You are 100% right. Radios are a must. We tried cell phones between the rigs while traveling but it wasn’t great at all. Drop calls, no reception, too long to connect. Radios are definitely the way to go.

[@Panda9943mind]

Hey, do you know if the car seats for the kids is secure in that RV? Where did you put the child seats? The dinette bench seems pretty flimsy, wondering if its actually attached to the chassis .

[@discoveryboundrv]

Great Question. Jayco’s Greyhawk is one of the only Class-C’s that are rated for Car Seats. It comes with attachments built in along with seat belts in every seat. This is one of the many features we were looking for when we purchased it. It’s a 2023 model.

[@michaelkaye569]

Congrats on the new rig. Did you have an inspector look at it before purchasing?

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Michael! Not for this RV. Both of our rigs have been brand new off the lot and we have been very lucky so far. We do highly recommend a third party inspector if available. Especially for a used RV purchase. (even more for a used motorized RV). Experience is everything in this business. We look at RV's a whole lot different now, than we did 3 years ago.

[@stevedenoyer5956]

Looking forward to your adventures with your mom Pam. I’m sure you guys are happy to have her here and spending time. Special days ahead

[@discoveryboundrv]

Having family at any point in your travels is always special. We love that she wanted to tag along for a short while and build memories with the grandkids. What a great way to start her retirement before she heads back to Germany.

[@kathyweber793]

For the alligators, I would throw something (a rock... a few rocks) out in the water from the car to maybe have them go after it thinking it's fish jumping.... anyway congrats on the new RV!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Kathy. We said the same thing. However, if a diesel dually 3 feet away doesn’t scare him off, he might be looking for something a bit larger than a fish. LOL.

[@kathyweber793]

@@discoveryboundrv lol. Yes very true. Stay safe

[@ATLJonathanH]

Changing from a 5th wheel to a tiny Class C? Makes no sense, the 5th wheel is a family home.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Jonathan, we didn’t. This week’s video will explain more.

[@perrywillingham9109]

Congratulations! Looks real Nice ! Stay safe

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you Perry!

[@JoeT.1960]

Are you going to toll your truck ??? Very nice class c

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Joe! Thank you. We are going to travel with 2 RV's as we hit the road this season. We are keeping our 5th Wheel and F350 dually. Next episode will start our journey headed west on I-10. It doesn't go the way we planned either. LOL. More to follow.

[@JohnT.4321]

[@retiredandfree96]

I knew that was Lake Apopka right away as we were there in early March. We started out counting the alligators but after awhile we gave up because there were so many. We ran into that same problem of no spare tire on our 2020 Jayco Greyhawk 30XP and carried an unmounted spare in the rear of our toad. Never had to use it but knowing it's there and road service can mount it is comforting. Are you going to pull a car? Don't think the Greyhawk can pull your dually.

[@haroldb5569]

Hey Congrats on your new purchase. I too bought a brand new Jayco class c but 2 things I disliked was 1st the radio almost totally useless the glare and the angle it’s pointing at can’t turn it towards the driver so it makes it harder to see. 2nd is the extension cord omg what a pain to store it, it’s non detachable and you have to tightly re-roll it outside and try putting it in the little cubby hole! After the 1st week of camping I fix that issue by cutting the cable and installing a smart plug where the connection is inside the cubby compartment.

Sometimes your walkthru tech knows everything you need or want to know. And sometimes you get one who came in at 8 a.m. and finds out he’s got a walkthru with you, and is clueless about your rig. Ahem, Ron Hoover Rvs in Georgetown, Tx. 🫣🥴

[@discoveryboundrv]

LOL. We agree. Our first walkthrough on our 5th wheel was not very helpful. The rep didn't know anything about RV's and never camped in one either. We actually laughed, because we were just a bunch of RV newbies looking at this massive RV opening doors and cabinets. This new walkthrough went the way it was supposed to go. Live and Learn, right.

[@sunnycharacter]

@@discoveryboundrv Amen to that! We vowed to never patronize Crestview Rv again where we bought and sold back to, our previous travel trailer. Nothing was wrong with it, it was a dream! But, their buy back and consignment deals are the worst. We really came out in the red on that, but we decided at the time to not RV u til hubby retired, which he just did in January. But their walkthrough guy was top notch, he knew his stuff. FF to now, we bought our 2016 Class C Winnebago and it was gently used, low miles, quality product. But, the the service department is a low rent circus, and their walkthrough was laughable. Oh well, she is paid off and we’ve also sunk a ton of cash on making safety upgrades. I can’t believe anyone could feel safe driving this beast with just factory equipment under her skirts! Now she purrs like a kitten on the road.

[@industrialexitstrategist2022]

Congratulations!! I transport brand new Class C, B and A motorhomes from Northern Indiana to RV dealers across the USA. I'd love to have a talk with U2. I truly appreciate your enthusiasm and joy of the RV Nomad Life. Please advise.

Oh yes remember well the first motorhome and flying to Phoenix to pick it up and the second new was just as exciting. When we went from the one to the diesel was so happy it was bigger but I forgot I lost that huge storage under the bed lol. Enjoy the new one and the fifth wheel.

Maximus (F-350) can pull 2 Class-C’s but the Class-C can’t pull Maximus. 🤔 We are keeping and traveling with our 5th wheel so we will still have the truck. Might have to throw in a new smoker grill into the new rig since it’s kind of empty. LOL.
