RV Setup for Newbies 👍 Travel Trailer, Van, or Motorhome Campground Set up Checklist ✅ for Beginners

[@Louie..]

Just a heads up on your fresh water connection you should use a 90 degree elbow

[@ThisWyldeLife]

Good tip! I’ve heard that reduces the stress on the connection

[@chasinspring]

Your reflexes rock girl.

This is THE BEST video I’ve ever seen on getting your camper set up and hooked up at a campground - wow!! Simple, straightforward and great video shots! Keep the awesome content rolling, thank you!

[@ThisWyldeLife]

Glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching!

[@tagoooU]

If you keep your grey tank open make a dip in your dump hose with the support thingies. This make a barrier to sewer gasses in the Campground connection.

[@ThisWyldeLife]

Great tip! Never thought of trying that. Sewer gasses can definitely be an issue, especially with exhaust fans turned on inside the trailer.

[@edrumsas5420]

Great video. Favorite accessory. Auto shut-off on the propane tanks.

[@ThisWyldeLife]

We'll have to look into one of those!

[@chasinspring]

Power Dog, dude. Protect the rig. $$$

[@ThisWyldeLife]

We've heard great things about those! Seem to be well worth the investment.

[@tuckermcneese239]

Great video! Thanks!

[@doloresgarcia7585]

Great video! Good to see you both handle outside task. I can do it!

[@ThisWyldeLife]

You definitely can do it! With a little practice, unfamiliar RV tasks become much simpler and less intimidating 👍🏽

[@rvnut1133]

Well done! I like to keep it simple and have the same as you guys, and I do have the surge protector because all it takes is one time and you are SOL plus I do have the sewer hose snake like thingy! Don't know how it is called.

[@ThisWyldeLife]

We agree, a surge protector is cheap insurance! We will be ordering one before our next hookup stay.

[@markj10]

Tip: Upgrade your power hook up to a “SmartPlug” and make sure you coat all connections including vehicle plug with Dielectric grease to reduce moisture and corrosion.

[@ThisWyldeLife]

Great tip, thank you! That 7 pin connection to the tow vehicle especially takes a beating!

[@lalic9311]

Is it about the same setup if you have a composting toilet?

[@ThisWyldeLife]

Yes, you just won't have black tank waste flowing through the waste hose. Gray water (from shower and sinks) will still be dumped that way.

Hello. Just subscribed. Don't have an Airstream as of yet.. but it's my plan to do so. Just want to learn from others before I put my money on the line.

[@ThisWyldeLife]

Once you catch the Airstream bug, there’s no going back! Thanks for subscribing… stay tuned for more Airstream content!

[@cpvsgvmnt2116]

@@ThisWyldeLife maybe. I'm on the fence between Airstream vs Oliver. Both are serious quality.. at least as far as I have read.

[@ThisWyldeLife]

@@cpvsgvmnt2116 Oliver makes a sweet trailer, too! The four season functionality is a big advantage over the Airstream.

[@cpvsgvmnt2116]

@@ThisWyldeLife wish I could test both out to make up my mind..

[@ThisWyldeLife]

@@cpvsgvmnt2116 Airstream dealers are pretty common, but Olivers can be tougher to find. KZbin is the next best thing!

[@dholy1]

Doesn’t your AS have a water pressure regulator built in?

[@ThisWyldeLife]

It does, but we like to use a backup. The one in the trailer is not as robust and has been known to fail.

[@sandyabrams7852]

I see you are short subscribers to get monetized, maybe try putting airstream in your title to get the AS fans

[@ThisWyldeLife]

We love connecting with fellow Airstreamers, but we also want to make sure our content is relevant and discoverable for ALL travelers, so we try to avoid too much Airstream keyword stuffing :)

[@patriciaskinner4461]

Why aren’t you showing how to do it?

[@derfreklats7921]

Nice. Short quick and informative. But a man bun? Oy vey

[@TerrySprey]

Never trust a man with a bun in his hair
