Problems being a NEW RV person (Be OK) with Mistakes

[@brianvandy4002]

Woah! Never ever stand between the tailgate and the trailer when the truck is being backed up. He may have already put it in park, but it looked like it was still moving. Mistakes happen and that's a good way to get cut in half. As for your propane issue, those tanks come out and in under a half hour you could have them filled at a gas station and back in your rig, heating it up. Another tip, is when you open your tanks to use, open only one side. Yes, you'll lose heat for a minute when the tank goes empty, but you can just go turn the other one on and you'll KNOW when it's time to fill up a tank. Also, get or make checklists for hooking and unhooking. The time you don't use a checklist you're likely to make a mistake and drop the rig on your truck.

[@thompsonbldg]

I agree/I cringed when I saw that-

[@leglier59]

So did I... I thought. NO!!!!! DON'T DO THAT!

[@stanfordbanks3399]

Tod and Sheila They are right

[@ronmachisen]

Please do not stand directly behind the truck while he is backing up. Stand to the driver's side so he can see you in the mirrors. Just worrying about your safety.

[@martyandterry931]

I was having such a hard time with that scene also 😳

[@valerief1231]

My heart skipped a beat, but then I realized she was just standing there and the truck wasn’t moving...early in the video. Then later she was standing behind the goose neck and my heart skipped a beat again. Idk what the answer is, but I bet there’s a better way!

[@tobyleach176]

I think I'm gonna have nightmares from that scene.

[@andibeauchamp9231]

Whoa, I saw that too. That could've went south real fast.

[@timothypinto9518]

Made my stomach drop when I saw her there. Human body vs truck/trailer always loses.

[@lyndastewart3191]

Use the 330 rule ...330 miles a day or off the road by 3:30 pm to set up before dark.

[@supee1117]

That’s a great rule!

[@robwestley7370]

Sandra Westley from the UK we do maximum 400 miles, we don’t camp on road sides we book a site in the UK the reception often closes at 5pm so if we know we are going to be late we ring ahead, to make sure we know the gate safety number, in Europe they tend to close by 7pm of an evening. 40 ty years ago we would stop on the French Motorway Aires overnight but, thieves started robbing people who camped like that, they would put sleeping gas into the vents, so you slept through there break in, they then robbed you of all your holiday money and anything else they took a fancy to.

[@ernestestrada240]

Your Wifey's expression had me laughing when you told her about the propane situation. You guys are doing fine we all started out this way. I will be watching you guys, enjoy life.

[@kathymills1959]

Love that you can laugh at yourself despite some situations that could have been pretty tragic! Keep smiling!

[@gibdonovan8113]

My wife and I laughed so hard at you guys when you told her you had propane. I hope its going a little better for you guys now.

[@theresatom4807]

Lol 🤣 so sorry for laughing.....don't worry about being new...we went from a 19ft travel trailer to a 42 ft solitude fifth wheel....the third time we took it out we are at a campground found our campsite and we were backing into our site when we hit a sand patch and we sank and fell into a tree. The whole side of the fifth wheel was leaning into a tree had it not been for our slide toppers the tree would have taken out the whole wall. It took us an hour and the campground management and all the campers that came out to help get our fifth wheel off that tree lol

[@jeffrub1]

Great content, Todd. Listen...please, please, PLEASE pay attention to all height signs on bridges and overpasses! I've pulled a lot of things behind trucks, and that is the most important thing. You do NOT wanna lose that RV to a low bridge! Love you guys and have fun!

[@TheRealBiggerAl]

My wife and I bought an RV at the end of September 2020 and on our first trip a few days later we were late getting to our stop. At the time we were using Google Maps to guide us! We ended up on a one way dead end road and had to back up in pitch dark with only 30 minutes from the gate closing at the campground! This episode reminded us so much of our experience. Needless to say we now use an RV specific GPS. Love the God moment too (ultimate GPS)!

[@randylee2189]

Great video 😂what do you mean this one 😂 omg I was laughing 😆. A couple more things before you make the mistake make sure you have a extra set of keys and lock your doors while in transit!water filter for your water hose and pressure valve for hose and most importantly a surge protector for electric hookup

[@sammystravels3981]

Great videos so far and you guys have a fantastic outlook on life. Since I have not seen your type of gooseneck hitch in the bed of your truck, I would just recommend the following from my past experience. When attaching up to any trailer, make sure the emergency trailer brake cable is hooked to the truck bed or bumper and not to the gooseneck hitch or to bumper hitch. The reason for hooking it up at a secondary point is if your goose neck, or bumper hitch has a structural failure while towing, the cable will still be connected to the truck to activate the brakes. On most Ford trucks, there is a hook on lower corners by the tale gate. Safe travels

[@Ournotsoperfectlife]

So, we’re bingin the vids before we discovered you guys.. the one right after this is where we started watching. Holy crrrrap! We are straight CRY/LAUGHING right now you two!! Only because we can completely understand this level of “WHAT are we doing” going on here.

[@stanfordbanks3399]

I'm new to your channel, but please do just on thing for me one of your followers. PLEASE get software that has a check list in it and use your checklist before you move your RV, park your RV, set up your RV.... How to plan you travel days pre calls for parks... Both of you have great sense of humor... But always safety first... O by the way I'm a Wichita state Shocker and will continue to follow your channel good luck my new friends....

[@karenkrieg7212]

EVERYONE makes mistakes when first starting out. Like you said, you learn as you go. We full timed in a class a for several years, and until we stopped and bought a sticks and bricks, we were constantly learning. Just remember, fellow RV'ers you meet along the way will be happy to pass along their knowledge. Grab an adult beverage one evening, sit down with them and laugh at yourselves. Adventure is what you wanted... adventure is what you will get!! Have fun!!

[@viviandarin694]

OMGoodness!! Laughing with tears about turning on (or Not!) the propane tanks! Enjoy your journey - onward bound 🙂🤗

[@rickgriffith1]

In six months of investigating and learning as much as possible about RV living on KZbin, we have never laughed so hard as while watching this video!🤣 You are now my favorite pet project diamond in the rough RV KZbin channel. Thank you for starting my day with a laugh.😎

[@lindasollazzo4278]

Saw you all going down 75 in Florida on Thursday! Can't miss the green mod, lol! We were going north from rv show. Bought our first 5th wheel there at the show. Montana High Country 377fl. The one you have is the other floor plan we were considering. It's not at the show - was disappointed. We are not newbies - been doing this for over 25 years and both of our parents had rvs so it's in our blood, lol. This will be rig 4 for us but new to 5th wheels. So on a learning journey that hopefully will continue for a long while. Looking forward to getting to know you both better. Good luck and safe travels!

[@daviddavis7755]

lol...newbs!!! It's fine. You can do this. Follow "Changing Lanes" (Chad and Tara), "Enjoy the Journey" ( Tom and Cheri)...They have the triple axle toy hauler too. You can learn so much from these experts that started just like you. My wife and I did this for 3 years and found a lot of info on the KZbinS. We bought a home and are now planning to sell to go back to it. I will be 50 this year. You two have the perfect spirit for this, just slow down and follow those that already made the mistakes. Our other favs are "Long Long Honeymoon", "Fate Unbound" and "Keep your Day Dream". Shawn from LOLOHO is the longest running and he has our same sense of humor. Good luck and best of luck. Need help, Just ask.

[@sandyhazlett2600]

Thank you so much for posting even more of the worship time/message... definitely the absolute best part of any huddle! ❤

[@linda48123]

Just in case, always carry an electric blanket! Electric blanket! Thanks for the chuckles. I pulled out with my stabilizers down and bent 3 of 4 of them. Thankfully I too got a God wink. PS belated happy birthday.

[@robwestley7370]

Sandra Westley from the UK We were getting ready to move I went to the loo on site came back to find my husband trying to move the caravan with the legs down, he hadn’t noticed the groves he was making 😂😂 we’ve all done the most stupid things.

[@KCInferno]

You know that you can run the fireplace for heat. Tip 1: never rush. When you rush stuff happens. Tip 2: a lot of RV parks are near railroads. Hope you enjoy the show in Florida. Going to attend the quartzite show this weekend.

[@jimbrenner882]

Doesn't the fireplace run on 110v?

[@KCInferno]

@@jimbrenner882 yes, it does. So does the space heater they were using. When he was outside it sure sounded like a generator was running.

[@andibeauchamp9231]

Plan to stop by 3PM. Never try to get into a campsite after dark. Get an earlier start and don't drive so many hours in the day. Your GPS will tell you that you will arrive at a certain time but you need to add about 2 hours to that time. Take your time, watch lots of You Tube videos, that's how I learned. Good luck and God bless!

[@karyncozier2204]

I think as long as your laughing at the end of the day, than it was a good day. Laughing at your mistakes and learning from them is being human.

[@Giesis]

You guys are the funniest people. My wife and I were laughing so hard. Don’t worry about mistakes. Our first night I left the water hose and filter outside and it froze. The whole RV pipes were frozen. No water for almost 3 hours and I had to do number 2.

[@bobmakow55]

Sheila you’re killing it, your sense of humor is perfect. Stuff happens, we have all been rookies, it will get better. Just slow down and think, oh yeah Happy 51st Birthday

[@maureenpierce7963]

I am so glad you are able to laugh things off!

[@tjc5109]

You are about to have the greatest time of your lives. You need to do it safely. Some suggestions. First, as you have heard do not stand in the way of the truck or rig. Find a place and stay a week or two just living in your new home and see how everything works. You have a BIG RIG... until you are 100% comfortable, PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE AT NIGHT or DO NOT PLAN TO DRIVE MORE THAN 200 - 250 MILES PER DAY MAX. This is a suggestion to keep you AND others safe. Loosing a rig in a ditch is a minor problem on the list of bad things that can happen. Enjoy the "journey" don't rush to "destinations." Don't be afraid to ask for help. The community you have joined (RV'rs) can be some of the kindest most helpful people you will meet. There will be a time in the near future, because you are now full-time, that you will pay all this forward and help the next "newbie." Enjoy each and everyday and cherish every experience.... good and bad.

[@Jim-ub9ky]

Welcome to the world of RV' living. Some things you need to get, if you haven't already got them. 1. Get a dehumidifier to keep down the moister in your unit, so you don't get mold grow in it. Get a electric one from amazon, or some place that sells them. 2. Get a water filter/purifier to make sure you have clean and better tasting water. 3 Get a good surge protector to keep your electrical system safe from surges, at some parks. 4. get a step down plug from a 50amp to a 30 amp not all parks offer 50 amp service. 5. get two bigger ABC rechargeable fire extinguishers one for the bedroom and living room. the small one you get from he dealer is pretty much useless.

[@shannacraft4099]

🌼 I found y'all by chance and went ahead and hit the friends button. I have my 1998 Lazy Daze I purchased in September in my yard but have only taken a couple of short trips in it. I look forward to hitting the road! I really enjoyed your video! Happy birthday!

[@tinacutright1133]

Your wife’s expression and comment was priceless! I look forward to watching you two RVing!

[@carolynknisely2383]

Thank you for your honesty. Good luck with all your new adventures.

[@terrynorris5037]

Its nice that you can laugh at your mistakes because you will likely make many more, we all do. You will soon learn not to try and fit too many miles into one day, enjoy.

[@andycommonsincanada]

Hey Todd & Sheila Don’t feel bad about a few Newbie mistakes. When we got our first Caravan in the UK we were sooooo excited to get going we actually left the house door wide open. And trust us that’s not a good idea in the UK. Luckily we forgot something and had to go back so realized what we had done. So that taught us to take our time and the moto is check it once, check it twice.

[@kimp2678]

You guys cracked us up! Thank you very much for sharing your adventures and misadventures! Safe travels!

[@rvnmedic2709]

You folks are halarious. You're laugh is contagious. I remember our first trip. Lots of mistakes. Fortunately none too serious. Best of luck. Truck on!

[@jrduty1]

Ha! Yep, done all that. So MANY more lessons yet to be learned, and I'm looking forward to viewing them! And the paper hanging from the wall perfectly compliments the whole video. Well done!

[@AllieMetcalfgoogle]

We have a goosebox and love it. Tip: before you hitch up, lock the hitch. We lock it just after we lift off the ball when disconnecting. That way you'll never drive around with it unlocked, and you get a positive indication when you hitch up when the ball is seated in the hitch by the motion of the locking arm and the sound Love your channel btw 😄

[@Puredrenalin]

You guys keep it light, and that is awesome...we are starting our journey in a couple years. (I have to work overseas for a bit) and then we are hitting the road! Thank you for sharing the fun and lessons learned! You 2 are pretty awesome!

[@hoslogistics]

I haven’t laughed so hard in a while. Other comments on the safety thing, no need to mention it again. Love your setup, and that truck is vicious!

[@shirleygorre6003]

Start a check list for Everything. Consider buying a B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch. ALWAYS stand to the driver's side.

[@rickvance9460]

You totally cracked me up with the propane issue. Great video!!! Safe travels.

It's all funny when you're not the one freezing!! lol

We’ve been following your videos for sometime now and you have inspired us. We have started off on the road now ourselves. We decided to do a “coming out” first video. We hope to run into you at some point along the way.

I am a 61-year-old woman from St. Louis, MO will be starting my full time RV life in December when I retire. I just bought an arctic fox fifth wheel & a 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 diesel and will be taking my first trip down to Florida also...🏖😎so thank you for sharing! I will definitely be watching you!

[@cmflowers5496]

I’ve seen someone put tape on their hitch and in the bed(or on the hitch ball) to help line them up. I’m sure a marker or paint would help too. Y’all are funny as heck.😂 listen to advice, but any mean comments, take with a grain of salt. And I think y’all made a good decision about the dog.

[@JimmyKSimmonsOfficial]

Have at least 2 space heaters on hand (electric in my opinion) - in case you dont have or cant get propane - we never use propane for heat unless I am concerned tanks might freeze. When I got my GD the dealer only filled 1 tank too! I would also suggest a couple of "GasStops" which are a great addition! Video was very entertaining! Keep smiling - it only gets funner! #RVlife #ItsaGas #SmileCrew

[@rickschwartz2447]

standing behind the truck scared the hell out of me if his foot slips off the brake

[@bobmartens1089]

Another tip, even though capable higher speeds I never tow faster than around 62mph. Safer, much safer and if retired what is the rush, I also pull over to let traffic pass wherever it's safe to do so. Just makes the experience that much more pleasurable. Safe travels guys and enjoy the ride.

[@SwitchItUpLife]

Great tip - thanks for doing all the things and coming along with us on our journey

[@curtiskrumm8867]

Great video. Love the Goosebox. I immediately release cable after the wife pulls truck from RV so I don't have the uh oh moment as you did. And I tend to check it almost every time I walk by while at camp just to make sure it's forward so when we are ready to hitch it's not something I have to worry about forgetting. Safe travels.

[@beverlyhendricks9456]

Laughed so much! With u not at you. Keep laughing guys. It’s the journey! You’re great. AND blessed. It could have been a REALLY bad day. God blessed you Congratulations.

[@Average_Geo]

Whew! That is quite the first and 2nd days! It is quite the learning curve. I'm sure you will also figure the travel distances per day so you don't arrive at night, since that is an added stress arriving after dark at some parks. Thanks for the laugh, and happy belated birthday!

[@TheJustdrez]

OMG!!! lol... we just bought our RV last Oct. And enjoying our camping trips...we are newbies also but still have our home. I hope one day we don't make that mistake. lol The wife's face tho ...PRICELESS! and yes don't stand between the tailgate and the RV...just becareful guys. Stay safe...

[@lisamyers8407]

OMG!! New sub here and catching up on your adventures. Y’all are hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣🤣Loved the propane scenario and I knew when you first started recording when pulling the tank that’s what you had done. Always an adventure.. live, learn, laugh and love, that’s life! Most full time RVers set a limited travel time for a day. I’m sure y’all have learned this by now.

[@Johnobee1]

Might consider adding gooseneck safety chains to your goosebox setup, Reese recommends them, part# is on their installation literature, I run them on my Andersen hitch in case I forgot to lock it and/or if it ever were to fail, good peace of mind

I honestly thought we locked the ball that day you left.

[@LouCetrangelo]

@@Picasso6302 i have a gooseball hitch as well. So i don't forget I always have it in the locked position before I hitch up. When it comes down on the ball it will automatically release and lock again when it is all the way down.

[@ARSMITH36571]

It only took one night of freezing my butt off. The next night I had mattress warmers and electric blanket in my camper. Truck stops are your friend, two fill ups in your truck should be good for a shower credit at a Flying J! So no need to go two days without a shower.

Hang in there! Thanks for the honesty. I did the same with my propane . we are all Laughing with you

[@robmags5781]

Oh My Gosh you had me howling on the propane situation. Too funny.

[@debbieandcurtisverboom4733]

Too Funny you guys are great. Enjoy the journey and the learning. Suggest having a detailed check list each time before you pull out to avoid any issues (check out Chad's check list from Changing Lanes). Surprised your dealer didn't give you a better orientation to your unit. Suggest reading all your O&M manuals for your 395MS but again, you guys are great and looking forward to more :)

3 weeks ago I started my solo journey as a fulltimer. I'll be looking for you two. We will learn. I am back in Texas, but I went yo Loveland, Colo to buy rig. I had my "nightmare" with low temps, as well. Fortunately, I took two heavy blankets and a space heater with me in my F150. My two Westies and I spent two nights in our "new" home in 15* waether.

Praying that you get some walk-talkies to communicate with so do you don’t stand near that truck tailgate, a solid checklist for hiking up and Unhooking, tank monitors for gas tanks, and better trip wizard for planning your routes. Please make sure of the roads you are traveling, you don’t want to hurt your home. You are off to a great start.

[@markroth654]

Hello fellow Kansan's! Found your channel this week and am excited to follow your adventures.We home base in Southwest Kansas (Near Dodge City). We part time the RV lifestyle, spending usually 3 months on the road then home base for a month or so. (We're currently on a "Texas Tour".) We can tell you're in "Newbie phase 1" commonly known as "Vacation Mode" . Slow down and take your time...that will eliminate a lot of mistakes...Also use a check list, it will keep you from making serious mistakes like forgetting to latch you hitchpin.

[@cindyball7545]

Just found your channel the day you left, love it. And I get it about your dog. We have a 5th wheel and we are planning on buying a motorhome next year as my husband retires in 2 years and we will be pretty much be full timers with a house to come back to during the winter here in Southern Ca.

[@angelaedwards5956]

This was hilarious. We really enjoy watching you both. My husband and I are hoping to become part-timers pretty soon. Love seeing that people in our “age range” are embracing and enjoying this. We appreciate being able to learn from your mistakes! LOL safe travels.

[@louvin5671]

That looks like a nice rig. The only thing I saw that was told to me from the get go, is to never get between your trailer and tow rig. If something goes wrong it could be very bad. I do like that you both have a good sense of humor about it. That is what makes it all memorable.
