That one trick for testing lights without connecting to the truck is very neat.

[@crankinhankin1826]

Here is my tip... Learn to do your own RV maintenance and use a good car maintenance management program ( I use Automotive Wolf car care software ) to track and monitor it all. It also tracks all my parts, expenses and creates a detailed vehicle maintenance log. After RV'ing for over 10 years I've saved thousands by doing most of the maintenance myself and there is a lot of it on an RV! A small roof leak can cost you thousands in repairs so I check my roof at least twice a year. Keep on top of the maintenance and you'll save money and be RV'ing for years :)

[@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS]

[@rogergraves242]

U should be using Saftey Chains.

[@CHASNTRUCKS]

[@markweaver2188]

My wife and I are just starting out with our 1st RV and your tips are simply fantastic.

[@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS]

Thanks Mark!

[@shawnbebout]

If your Tongue jack is like mine, by removing the fuse you removed anyway for power to get to your tongue track. This also prevents theft of your camper. If you watch the videos on how people are stealing campers so quick, they are putting the tongue jack on top of the ball and just driving away. By removing the fuse, they can’t activate your tongue jack and it’s just another hurdle in their way.

[@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS]

Excellent point Shawn, thanks for commenting.

[@Ms_Tex]

One thing my dad taught me, along with "lefty-loosey, righty-tighty" was "always screw down so you don't screw up".

[@larrylucas8324]

Pool noodles! So many uses for these inexpensive items! On our 5th Wheel Reflection, I can't tell you how many times I've hit my head on the corner of our bedroom slide which is located right next to our pass-through storage area. I cut two small sections of a pool noodle and place them on the two bottom corners, securing them with clips normally used for securing picnic table covers. This hack has saved me numerous "headaches"...

[@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS]

thanks for commenting Larry, great additions.

Taking the fuse out of the tongue jack is brilliant, my six year old daughter would’ve eventually found the switch but now it doesn’t matter 👍

Great tips! Another marriage saving hack is carry charcoal pills or Gas X etc. Any trailer is really a small space to live in and farting makes women angry and sometimes fly off handle mad. I’ve been kicked outside .

Hahaha! Thanks for sharing buddy that made my day.

SBD!

[@terryt2910]

I liked these tips. Short and sweet. I had already turned my propane tank cover around, but to add extra security, I drilled small holes next to both sides the hinge and added cable ties, not too tight, just in case the hinges blow loose.

[@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS]

Can you do a video on permanent RV's in camp grounds? I am a new owner of a permanent RV in a campground resort. Many of your tips can be used on this type of RV I know, but would like to know what is different in maintenance of my type of RV & the travel RV's you talk about. Thanks!

[@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS]

what rv do you have?

[@trooper5157]

Often see trailers at the campground that have their running lights on in the evening, without being hooked to their truck...just figured those trailers had a switch to power on those lights when disconnected from the vehicle... but now I know how they're doing it. Learn something new every day.

[@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS]

i wondered the same thing early in my camping career. Thanks again for always watching Troop.

[@dalehlad8577]

It is also how they can power their security cameras that get there power from clearance lights

I always carry 20 gallons in the fresh tank because I’m towing my own rest stop. Also, spare expanding shower curtain rods store easily under the bed. They rest really well on top of the midline trim of the shower and can be used to dry wet towels between showers (without that trim, you may need to tighten the rods to the shower walls).

[@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS]

[@jkline999]

Nice video... I hate hauling water, but if you have a breakdown on the road... nice to have. I suppose it depends upon the rig doing the hauling: small suv with an auto tranny or a 1 ton manual Cummins... If you are pulling with the right rig, it isn't the weight of the water that is killing you, it is wind resistance.

Rubber bands to keep cabinets closed. I use a anchor cleaves for the oh no break cabel. It's made of stainless steel and the nut is held in place with a hitch pin. Use only one lp gas tank if you have two. This way when the tank is empty you have the second full one. Just remember to fill the empty one.

I'm a new RV owner, flipping the propane tank cover is the first thing I did. It just made sense to flip it around just in case it wasn't latched completely the wind wouldn't flip it open on the road. It's just common sense.

[@darylberry6286]

Great video, Ross! I use wood blocks I had left over from a deck project under my stabilizers. When traveling I store them in the 5 gallon bucket used to cover the jack. I used a router to round the edges of the blocks to makes them easier to handle. I always look forward to your videos. Fellow 2150rb owner.

[@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS]

that works too! Great idea! I use the bucket to carry firewood sometimes. I used to use wood blocks under my stabilizers but after not using the blocks to level anymore, i wanted to either get rid of the wood or the blocks. the blocks won, the wood was free. Thanks for commenting Daryl.

[@NikkiTheOtter]

@@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS I use the leveling blocks flipped upside down under my stabilizers, but I also have a wood block under my tongue-jack, because my jack doesn't have a foot, and the wood block is easier to replace when the jack inevitably cuts through it.

[@todlee]

Ha, my college roommate would do the radio trick to help him sleep because I snorred to loud. Before he learned that trick, he would throw pennies at me. Thinking I would roll over on my belly and no longer snore. When I got up the next morning, pennies would be stuck to my body. My poor penny-pinching self would collect them in the shower.

I used my camper for the first time about 4 weeks ago last weekend we got everything hooked up and when we turned on the water mainly the water out of the hot water tank it smelled really bad like sulfur perhaps if I'm getting this correctly it's best to drain your hot water tank when you leave it sitting for even a couple of weeks what is the best tips for this I have a older camper I believe it is a 2006 so the hot water heater isn't electric it's just gas I have not lit the burner yet because the previous owner said it did not work this weekend I happened to noticed that there is a mud daubers nest inside the burner I will be removing that and then seeing if I can get it lit any tips is greatly appreciated

I’m wondering if it’s actually pulling fresh air from the top more than it’s pulling from below.

3:37 Another idea is to use a thick binder type rubber band to hold the liner in place. Also, the smaller produce/meat type bags are better because they are less likely to leak.

[@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS]

Good idea, thanks for adding to the video!

I have Gas Stop on my propane tanks. I drive with the propane on, so it’s a protection

I love the bucket and command hooks for the garbage can. Great ideas!

[@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS]

Thank you! 😊

[@josephmeierjr5356]

Yes, really like those 2 hacks. I will retire the jack cover with the bucket and hang my chains on the handle.

[@dedobias]

Just a reminder you may want to add. IF you drain your water heater, make sure you refill it before turning it on, water on and relief valve open until water comes out.. Especially for the electric side which could be damaged or the gas side which could trip the high temp limit.

[@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS]

Absolutely, we always burp the valve before powering on the electric side to make sure. The heating element will burn out in seconds.

Lower drains will drain water heater? We had smelly water because I didn't drain it :(

[@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS]

It will drain to the point where the inlet on the heater is.

[@kevinmckinley1643]

Ross…how did you build the loft for your zero g chairs? BTW…really enjoy your channel!

[@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS]

Kevin, just 2x4's attached to 90 degree brackets screwed into the wall. i put them high enough to slide what i need underneath. then i just bungie cord them to the 2x4 so the dont move while traveling.

[@joesuelter1636]

You shouldn’t have the red plug in the pressure relief valve of water heater. That needs to be free & clear of any/all obstructions.

[@RVTIPSANDTRAVELS]

it doesnt interfere with the valve, and it basically falls out if there is any real water pressure behind it. It came from the factory as a cover to prevent insects nesting in the valve, so they said, but I've since removed it because it was falling out all the time.
