🎁 RV Gift Ideas for ANY Budget (Our Favorite Gear)!

[@edbuyers]

Saw your video on the Blackstone. AWESOME. Bought it through your Amazon link. Did not cost me any more. THANKS. Nice video on all of things you have tested and used over the past many months. Great ideas for us RV'ers

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks for using our links! 💙

[@marketshare5273]

Excellent video Great job editing and keeping it moving. Thanks for not walking all over each other when you’re talking, Chad you are a master stopping when Tara starts talking. 👊👍😎

[@WhiteFox011]

All I can say about that is, "Happy Wife, happy LIFE".

[@texasmud91]

“I was talking about the filters” - haha. This is universal for husband/wife videos (KYD and such). Each person is focused on different things at the same time. It’s obvious they aren’t always listening to the other. I like it because it appears more details are included. After 29yr of marriage I see my wife do this from time to time. Thanks for the great content!

[@momentousjourney5998]

Another great video! High five to Tara for wearing her hat for the entire production. 👍😁

[@johncollins7044]

12:55 your own T shirt!? You two +1 are awesome. My GD351M is winterized and covered..😖

[@ericwatters8343]

An entire stack of our Corelle plates flew off the countertop when I took a corner driving our class C. Yes, I didn’t realize they were there until they gave me a heart attack when they slammed to the floor. They all survived without a single chip, so 👍🏻 for them.

[@shrum11]

My hubby and I love your channel. I'm checking out this vlog for Father's day gift ideas. He has already got quite a few things just from watching you guys. Keep up the great work.

[@julieleuthard9226]

I know how much time it takes you guys to do all of this work for your videos. Us newbies really appreciate it, especially those list makers like me. Thanks so much!

[@martinwheeler1405]

Just found your channel. Watched all your KZbin videos. EXCELLENT information !!! I was blessed to start RV traveling with my parents in a 28 ft Holiday Rambler and Chevrolet Pickup with camper starting at age 7-beginning in 1965. Live in Oklahoma. Been to 38 states; including Alaska. We traveled the Alcan Highway to Alaska BEFORE it was paved. (1996 graved miles). Average speed was 35 mph. Covered the front lights with plastic bubble, full front screen wire to protect grill and radiator, covered all visible pipes under pickup and trailer. Covered full length of left side of trailer with fiberglass panels with 1” gap-all to protect from flying gravel. Windshield was cracked 6 times from flying gravels when cars passed. This was interesting. Have been to Yellowstone and Teton National park 22 times. In 2006, my wife and I flew to West Yellowstone Montana in winter to visit Yellowstone National Park during winter. Was blessed to snowmobile 1 day, 73 miles inside and outside park. Temp was 29 degrees below zero and wind chill was 73 degrees below zero on top of TWO TOP mountain. Thankfully we were appropriately dressed and snowmobile engine heater routed warm air under the footboard, seat and back. Handgrips had 12 V heating strips. It was cold but the heat made the ride most enjoyable. I graduated from Charis Bible College in Woodland Colorado in 2018. The entire left side of the college auditorium has Pikes peak in view at all times. Traveled to cannon city and took helicopter ride of Royal Gorge suspension Bridge. Your helicopter ride of the Grand Canyon brought back such wonderful memories of the majestic sights of the creation we are so blessed to view. Just finished my instructors training of Powered Paragliding-both foot launch and Quad PPG. At present, using a 16’ x 8.5’ x 8’ cargo trailer to carry all the PPG engines with props, gliders, windsock, tow machine, and fuel to local airport to train former High School students when I taught HS Science 1979-2008. In the process of remodeling Cargo Trailer into Living House on wheels. Where your motorcycle is, that is where my tandem PPG Quad ( 8’ x 4’ x 5’) is. Will take off and land in 50-75 feet. Has bush aircraft tires. 150 cm carbon Fiber prop. 265 pounds of thrust.@ 8000 rpm’s. Best altitude is 2000 ft and cruise around 35 knots. Altitude is our friend so if any engine issues we can deploy ballistic reserve parachute. Normal altitude for foot launch is 200 ft. Flying low and slow at 50 knots. Was legally able to fly around Hoover Dam over Lake Meed. (With Automatic flotation). Awesome sights. Been to Canada and Caribbean. Yellowstone and Teton National Park still my favorite place. Fishing Bridge has pull through, 50 Amp service campsites. Wife and I traveled with 2 miniature Schnauzers and miniature minn pinn. If you visit, take your time, heed park Rangers nightly warnings of putting all outside containers with food smells-especially dog bowls inside trailer. Keep all critters on leaches and always have high lumen flashlight. Strobe mode will startle bear but temporary can cause night blindness. They will run-sometimes at you! Best to make noise. Experienced 2. 100 ft outside views of mama grizzly bear and cubs during a group, 14 day in the back woods hike. We all had bear spay, leader had loud, rubber bullet gun. Ranger did have appropriate weapon only if necessary. The 2, 4. 9 and 14 day hikes are wonderful if your like hiking, and after you adjust to 7000 ft altitude. Your traveling adventures bring up so many wonderful memories. Your 5th wheel parking information-MOST enjoyable and as you stated, greatly needed. Thank you for such detailed information over so many different aspects of traveling. Parents, wife and I have traveled over 900,000 miles on land. We are so blessed and thankful to view and experience such awesome sights. Your travel rig is awesome. Keep up the excellent videos. Your traveling adventures keep bring up such great advice-like at what wind speed best not to travel. We drove into a non dusty/invisible dust devil. That was most exciting. My wife was driving at the time. She drove a School bus for 8 years. No issues. My PPG flight training has been so beneficial in forecasting terrain rotor, (wind moving triggers), Wind sheer, high and low wind pressures caused by mountain canyons and turbulence producers. However, as you stated. best not to travel in high wind conditions. I thought I was the only RV driver that set my cruise 10-15 mph under the posted speed limit. Everyone seems to be in such a rush so they can hurry up and fly around me. Then, we both meet at the same red light intersection. We enjoy the sights that we see. Difficult to view new things at 85-90 mph. I like to keep a much father distance between us and the vehicle in front. Not sure some drivers understand the distance needed to safety decelerate 20,000-35,000 pounds of mass/weight. Thank you for informing all new potential new RVers. My AARP insurance Company offered RV driving classes. 3 day training driving in old, crashed 4 door long bed pickup with 39 ft tongue and 5th wheel trailers. Drove on wet asphalt, oily asphalt, potholes, unexpected balls and boards on road and fake cardboard images of children and wildlife popping up in road. Experienced a remote controlled front tire valve stem pop out to represent exploding tire all at 55 mph. Extremely effective training. If possible, I would encourage ALL drivers and new potential heavy and longer RV rigs to take these classes if offered. Some RV sellers have these on race car tracks. And adopt the check list you mentioned. Before I fly my quad PPG, I have a pre flight check list, take off check list and post flight check list. I never go by memory. All lists are in a phone app. RV travels should use the same or similar. Any sport or form of locomotion can be as safe or dangerous as the driver/pilot makes it. Again thank you for the most informative traveling adventures, advice and your time to edit and upload such useful videos. Happy, blessed and safe travels.

[@ChangingLanes]

Hi, Martin! Welcome to our channel! 😊 2K miles on a gravel / dirt road! AMAZING! The PPG sounds like fun! And that driving course sounds great too! Do they have a web site you can share? Take care and safe travels! 👍🏼 😊

[@giguybd1]

It’s official! Grand design is building my wife son and I our first brand new 5th wheel. We went with the reflection 260rd. I pull my boat behind it so we had to keep the length down. I have to thank you guys as your videos have been very helpful in making our choice. We should take delivery in February 2020. We will look for you guys out and about on our adventures. Thanks so much

[@ChangingLanes]

Congrats!!! 🎉🎊🥳

[@myleshansel7950]

Great video, and ideas for gifts. I will say that of the RV people I watch you guys are by far the best, keep up the great work, have a safe and Happy Holidays.

[@WhiteFox011]

It is currently May of 2021, and I just found this video. Sometimes I really wonder about youtube! But having said this, I enjoyed the video lots! Good job. I saved it because there are several items that We could sure use since we tow a 30' Forest River pull a trailer that we tow with a 2007 Chev Express one-ton van. We used to tow a trailer a lot more than we do currently, going to dog shows. It was a blast! but we have scaled back a lot in the past few years due to health issues, and have rather enjoyed staying close to home. We are not getting any younger, and traveling is sometimes difficult for us senior citizens. But we have great memories of our travels. So do please keep your wonderful videos coming. Thank you both, and the Pup as well.

[@ChangingLanes]

👍🙏

[@Garth2011]

Good collection of items to consider. One item for folks to consider regarding the outdoor fire pit, you can make your own with a top load washing machine "basket". The item that has all of those holes along the circumference and bottom. Simply find an old machine and remove the basket then weld three large nuts on the bottom in a triangle pattern then screw some long bolts into the nuts for legs. These work very well and will last a long time as long a you do not damage the porcelain coating. Make a screen cover for the top and bottom center hole and you are good for most, not all, fire requirements. Love the Blackstone griddle.

[@ChangingLanes]

We've heard of that trick also.. Great tip! 👍🏼

[@cbravo212]

That's why I love y'alls videos, you actually recommend cool stuff. Love it, as always.

[@Eddy305C]

My wife and I hope to see you all on the road one day....Enjoy your videos

[@TYi-bb7xx]

Oh yes, that vacuum cleaner!!! It's a game changer! Great video ~ love the outtakes!

[@bigskippy4427]

The video was so good that I didn’t want to see it end.

[@LifeonOURtime]

Great accessory walk-through. Not sure Daisy was all too impressed with the Santa hat. 😁

[@ChangingLanes]

LOL! We'll be posting some pics in her new hooded sweater this week some time on FB and IG! 🐶

[@joyandscott7959]

Wow I’m done Xmas shopping in 28 minutes. Thanks for taking the time: Now I’m off to spend spend spend, ‘Tis the season!

Great gift ideas! Thanks for sharing!

[@ChangingLanes]

Hi, Dean! 👋🏼 😊

[@JTSOUTDOORLIFE]

Love the Santa hats!! Great ideas guys! Thanks for sharing!!

[@loricarver10]

I placed a pool noodle on the top rung of the extension ladder. Cut it to size lengthwise, cut a single slit lengthwise and snuggly fit it on that top rung; no rv paint/coating worries while you are climbing around. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@ChangingLanes]

Nice!!! Stealing that for sure! Thanks for the tip!

[@EddieOckert]

I bought an Instant Pot for my camper, and right now we use it in our home a lot, as I printed a lot of recipes for it. We use it a lot right now.

[@shayes3102]

We are new RV full timers! We LOVE your YT page! Very informative! Thank You! Keep them coming!

Thanks you guys for yet another great video. I wish you both some safe and happy holidays. 🦃🍗🥧🍻

[@stefanskala8319]

Awesome video and information y'all thanks for your information happy travel s tara and Chad

[@DANsTrucking_Outdoors]

If looking at a national parks pass disabled vets should apply for the ACCESS Pass, it's free. Also, some states like Washington and Organ offer disabled vets passes for their state campgrounds. I have and use all three. This is a great deal but keep in mind it still costs tax dollars to fund these operations, so I typically throw a few bucks in the donation slot.

[@MrRMB1]

We don't even have an RV yet, but this video is great! I may need to get some of these items for the house! Thanks for putting it together folks

[@brianjanturner9333]

Thanks for all the great work we love the flare idea, going to get it, and the cooker.😊

[@marcireale]

That. Was. Terrific.

I think this may be the greatest video ever made. I liked it so much, we sent our kids your link in the description so that you get credit, and we get new gear and gadgets for Christmas..... It's a win-win. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@ChangingLanes]

win-win-win, then! 😊 🎅🏼

[@bodaddy10101]

One of my favourite RV items is the LevelMate Pro. It’s great for RVs that don’t have an automatic levelling system. Before I even get out of the truck it tells me how many inches up the passenger/driver side has to be raised with blocking. After my boards are under the tires it can save the unhitching height for later on. I can also gauge how much I have to extend my jacks before they touch down incase I have to lower the front end a lot due to an uneven campsite.

[@ChangingLanes]

Very good tip! 👍🏼

[@rixrig6193]

Nice video...gave me several items to put on our list. Thanks for sharing.

Loved the video. The ultrasonic pest controller really works in my house. will have to invest in the tiki torches.

[@jameshodgins1937]

Great video and great gift ideas. I have many items on you list. I epically like the refrigerator freezer thermometer. That has saved us a few times. I have the Mopeka Propane monitors too. They are great. Actually we have many of the items you are recommending. This is a great list.

[@ShaktiStudioShop]

This is a great video. Thank you. I love what you two are doing. You are showing me and my husband that we can do this too, so we are getting ready!

[@bhettesh]

I've been watching all of our RVs with their shopping gift type items. But your video is super great and super detailed and has just about everything that you can think of. Thank you so much totally awesome video you are helping us learn and grow.

[@ontariotrailcameras6619]

Awesome video guys! Thanks for the tips and my wife says ohhhh noooooo hahaha

[@ready2roamrv289]

I love you guys, but I must admit, that I hesitated to watch this video because I had just watched another one of my favorite full-timers do something similar. Glad I did, though! You covered so many things that she did not. Her video tended to be more personal comfort/useful things that she uses versus items that would be helpful to RVing in general. BOTH are excellent gift vids. Thanks for all these great ideas! 🎄

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@stevendick7992]

Thank you for your gift vidio! It was great! Have a Great Holiday season!

It's an apple TV App.. If you search the app store for holiday screen savers, you should find it.. 👍🏼

Daisys face at the end with the hat lol...

[@alanwortham6413]

I want them all! LOL!! ... I have a Solo Stove firepit. The Bonfire best firepit ever. My wife will actually sit by the fire with me now. No more smelling of smoke. They sell a spark arrestor for it now but I'm sure your DIY version was much cheaper. Happy Holidays to you both.

[@ChangingLanes]

Well.. sure enough! Hadn't seen that "bonfire shield" till now. Yea.. ours was definitely cheaper.. LOL

I loved this video. Put me into a happy mood. We are planning to go full time Summer 2020 and I seen so many nice things we are going to need and/or WANT. 😊 Our dream is to meet with and make likeminded friendships within the RV community. Thanks for sharing. Fun video too.

[@rejeanpaquet4375]

WoW this is a jam packed video, the making of this video must have been a lot of work guys. Job well done 👍👍 so many good ideas for RVers. Tara looks good with the Santa hat👌. Happy Holidays Tara, Chad and Daisy 🐾 !!! 🎄🎅

[@bmc81]

Great ideas guys!! I need to get the remote thermometer for our frig. As a fellow biker I understood you to say that you do not have any CPR or medical classes. Is this correct?? I would really like to suggest that you both take the CPR class with medical and keep it up to date. I ride with a lot of motorcycle friends and we are all up to date with this. It really helps you if an emergency comes about. You won't panic because you understand what needs to be done. Also keep an emergency kit like you showed in your bike at all times. Great video keep it up. Thanks and Merry Christmas!!

[@ChangingLanes]

Great point on both the CPR and a med kit on the bike! 👍🏼

[@rvrebel1929]

Hi What well presented, sensible, video of good sensible, useful items for life on the road

[@neksguy01]

Great Ideas. Want to let you know we got our Fleet Card this week. Of course we I told them that you sent us over to their website. We will be using it this weekend on our trip to Lawton Oklahoma with our Jayco. We are excited about the discounts we will be receiving on a fuel cost. Thanks again. Great videos keep them coming

[@ChangingLanes]

Excellent! Thanks for the referral! 😊

[@neksguy01]

@@ChangingLanes well we used our fuel card for the first time over the holiday weekend and it went great. We saved over $40 going from Lawton Oklahoma back to Manhattan Kansas. It was great thank you so much keep up the great work

[@munroross7435]

Great extensive list! Surprised how many of those I already have; maybe more surprised how many I don't. A holiday tip for you for your multi-cooker, pick up the America's Test Kitchen "Multicooker Perfection" cookbook. We love that ATK actually tests and perfects everything before putting it in the book, and it is a small but mighty (RV friendly) format. Most recipes can be done either fast or slow. We've enjoyed everything we have tried! The Tortilla Soup (fast) has become a new family favorite, and it has shown us great adaptations of old family favorites as well.

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks for the tip! Looks like there's a kindle version too! 👍🏼
