RV Upgrades While Camping

[@marshalljimduncan]

2:12 that was the cutest thing ever! Nice of you to help your neighbor out backing up his rv for him, Mike. The Doggos looked so comfy on their new camp chair too!

[@WanderingWagners]

Thank you! Yes it was nice to help because they really appreciated it☺️ putting Mike's talent to good use haha the dogs were pretty content in their camp chair but Piper still got on Mike's lap later on haha

[@jerrysims7900]

I would have done something about that tailgater if I was you lol! You have two babies Mike, so Happy Fathers Day..

[@WanderingWagners]

Haha the Jeep loves to tailgate. Thank you for the dog Father's day wishes🙂

[@mariagaratearambula3639]

I was very relaxed watching 😊👌🏽. Thanks

[@WanderingWagners]

Thank you for watching! The beautiful weather helped make it extra relaxing ☺️

[@betsywicks6291]

So kind of Mike to back in that rig. He makes it all look so easy. My husband is very good and I try to be the spotter that gives direction only when needed. No shouting needed. Admittedly we do enjoy watching campers set up that brand new tent for the very first time lol!

[@WanderingWagners]

Haha yes sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's painful to watch. This was an older couple who welcomed the help 😁 overall a great weekend!

[@SmoreCampingwiththeSchraggs]

Love those double chairs. lol Great video guys

[@WanderingWagners]

Thanks! Hopefully the pups will stick to their chair now... Haha🐕🐕

[@ricwestdoesitwork]

Amazing no rain. 😁. Looked like a great short trip for you guys. Thanks for sharing the adventure guys.

[@WanderingWagners]

I know! We lucked out. Granted it did rain overnight a little but we don't have to count that because we were sleeping😁 thanks for watching!!

[@brucemurray3725]

Bathroom faucet height is one of the most common complaint. You think RV companies would fix it. Thanks for sharing your adventure, hope the pups enjoy the new chair. 😊

[@WanderingWagners]

Right, they put nice big ones in the kitchen but not the bathroom for some reason haha maybe in a few more years they'll catch on, but I doubt it. There pups definitely love having the chair all to themselves but Piper still got up on Mike's lap a few times😂

[@vinsonsmith4345]

Great video, nice upgrades to the camper. Those little things make it so nice.

[@WanderingWagners]

You're right! More user friendly too. We had a great time just doing whatever we wanted😁

[@RESTLESSOUTDOORS]

Great to meet you guys!!!.... well except for Piper wanting to rip my face off my head...🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@WanderingWagners]

Haha she calmed down once we let her know you were safe😂 she's still getting the hang of camping some days... 🐕 Great meeting you too! We figured we'd run into you one of these days!

[@yamata86]

We got a good laugh when Mel spotted some Airstream pillows. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone. Looks like an awesome weekend.

[@WanderingWagners]

What's funny is we never used those pillows in the Airstream. They were in a box when we got the AS and stayed in a box in plastic until this trip when I came across them in the garage and decided they'd be nice in the Wraith😂

[@patbeaudoin4237]

Mike that was really nice of you to help that gentleman back in his trailer my husband did that once & the person was so rude & said he didn't need help.I love that new faucet I hate those small ones.Lazy days are the best.Our parks just opened so me & the husband are heading out this weekend. Have a good week. 🙂🇨🇦🚙

[@WanderingWagners]

Yeah that's always a chance when you ask if someone needs help, but luckily everyone Mike has helped in the past was very appreciative! The new faucet is great! Enjoy your first trip out this weekend🎉

[@greygoose4x46]

That was really nice of you ! I know when my wife and I started camping I was always stressed out about having to back it in ... you made that guys day

[@boomersudden6257]

Very nice of Mike to help them back in. I've been in a few places that was not backing friendly and I was a truck driver at the time (flatbed driver). Faucet was very nice. Would liked to seen that pump replacement I might just do that to mine if I get it, (going tomorrow to look at campers and maybe pick one up). Thanks as always.

[@WanderingWagners]

Thanks for the comment! We have upgraded to this pump in a few different RVs and love it. Pretty simple replacement

[@Miller1989]

Ahhh, Oregon Ohio, home sweet home! I love Maumee bay State Park. Take care guys!

[@WanderingWagners]

It's even closer to us now! Probably one of our favorites😁 only disappointment us we noticed the ice cream place up the street was gone! Haha

[@slipknot7424]

I’d be mortified if someone had to back my trailer in for me 😱 Respect for helping that guy 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@WanderingWagners]

The gentleman was so frustrated he just wanted some help. Luckily Mike was there to help him before he gave up and left

[@LivingtheSilverLife]

Love it. Great place. So true. It’s lucky if you can upgrade or get into a park due to a cancellation. Your pups are so cute. 👍🏼

[@WanderingWagners]

That's pretty much how we get into any park😂 we don't plan ahead or reserve ahead like most people do. We wait until the day of or the day before we want to camp and check all over for open sites and people always cancel so we grab what they leave behind😁 the pups are lucky they're cute because they're ornery haha🐕🐕❤️

[@BikesBoatsBivouacs]

Looks like a great time! The dogs look comfy!

[@WanderingWagners]

The dogs had a great weekend🐕🐕 with night walks and they were given our old chair it was exciting for them haha

[@cleitonfaria948]

You’re the best park RV! Good man

[@WanderingWagners]

Thanks! I like to help when needed/wanted🙂

[@cleitonfaria948]

I like to help people’s too! after I feeling strong and great. makes me very happy.

[@davidbrickey5925]

Enjoy your video thanks for sharing. 👍☕️🍀

[@WanderingWagners]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it☺️

[@selteacher]

I love the footage from the jeep when your towing it. I haven't seen that before.

[@WanderingWagners]

We thought that was unique video to show. It tows great, like it's not even there!

[@christineryan7522]

Love Maumee Bay State Park! Love your videos too!

[@WanderingWagners]

Thank you❤️ Maumee is one of our favorites!

[@davidchase8815]

And the dogs commandeered the new chair after all!! Lol

[@WanderingWagners]

Haha they were in the old chair around the fire but that didn't stop them from trying to get into the new chair with us😂

[@kyleginder1322]

Your tutorial video of backing up has helped me out alot. Went from being scared too death to back up to actually helping other poeple in campgrounds backing up. But still have nothing on you Mike!

[@WanderingWagners]

Haha well I'm glad the video helped you!

[@markkikly6784]

That camp site looked awesome. We may have to visit that campground.

[@WanderingWagners]

We highly recommend it! Almost all of the sites are large and have a bush row between the sites for extra privacy

[@michaelhony1645]

I always do my modifications at the campground. It’s the only place I have time and don’t have 10 other things to do. I have to get away from the house to work on the camper.

[@WanderingWagners]

That's a pretty good point! Luckily it all worked out and we got things checked off the to do list

[@greygoose4x46]

Great video ! Congrats and good luck with the super c

[@WanderingWagners]

Thank you! It's always fun when the weather cooperates haha so far we are loving the super c, thanks for watching!

[@FollowingtheFitchs]

I set that water pump impression as your ring tone and text notification.

[@WanderingWagners]

Haha that's awesome

[@mikemanjo2458]

Great jobs...you made it look easy!

[@WanderingWagners]

Thanks😎

[@Peeriosity]

I have a Nexus Wraith 32 that I've had for about a month and will take my first trip in a couple of days. Love the struts. I tried to google the manufacturer but I might be spelling it wrong. Can you let me know? Did you get them on Amazon? By the way, I grew up on Goshen IN, so a very short drive from where Nexus is located in Elkhart. I pull a horse trailer and am looking forward to many adventures in the West (I'm in Reno NV) boon docking and equestian camping.

[@WanderingWagners]

We put info and links in the description for the struts, the MFG is LaVanture Products part number: LGP6-150-20. Pulling a horse trailer and boondocking and doubt equestrian camping sounds fun! Tons of campgrounds have equestrian specific campsites in this area

[@easyrider4x]

Those cul de sac spots are the best and there used to be a Ranger who would back a few campers in back in the early days.😬

[@WanderingWagners]

You're right the cul-de-sac sites are usually pretty nice, especially at this park! We just happened to luck out and got whatever site someone cancelled on Thursday😂 we think Mike could make a few extra bucks backing in other campers trailers for them haha good business venture

[@pahanin2480]

Another amazing video.

[@WanderingWagners]

Thank you!!

[@jasoncollins3581]

Great Video! My wife and I are picking up a 2021 Nexus Wraith 32W in Oasis this coming Friday, I've subscribed so I can learn from your adventures with the Super C. Maybe we will cross paths one of these days!

[@WanderingWagners]

I kind of wish we waited and got a 2021 our ordered our Wraith but oh well! Excited for you to join us and our travels with our super C! Thanks for subscribing😁

[@karenrossbach7786]

Loved maumee bay myself. Grew up in the burbs of Toledo, currently living in Florida.

[@WanderingWagners]

Maumee Bay is one of our favorites and just so happens to be local to us😁

[@karenrossbach7786]

Wandering Wagners I know I stumbled upon your channel because I (&hubby) are wanting to go full time RVing when hubby retires.

[@williamglaspie3889]

Hey Mike, just one quick question if you could explain the heating system on your Nexus ? .... I didn't see an Aqua Hot or Oasis system

[@WanderingWagners]

It's just your standard forced air RV furnace.

[@tcoker6616]

Do you use HAM Radio or regular CB Radio?

[@WanderingWagners]

In this video, the Jeep had Mike's ham radio installed in it

[@jim-uu2db]

A lazy day camping is better than a lazy day at home on the couch anytime.

👍👍 gotta hate that blind side back awesome video

[@WanderingWagners]

Not bad when the pads are angled. But whoever designs campsites needs to stop making them blindsided haha

[@babyboy6179]

why did you select your new super class c over the rest of the super c companies?. thx

[@WanderingWagners]

The length is shorter so it'll fit in our garage, great price point, and a great chassis mainly

[@mikebishop4346]

Hey guys nice campground looks like great weather and I did the same thing for a camper backing it was getting a little heated so went out helped out 👍🏻 this week we are in Danforthday campground in Ossipee NH right on Ossipee lake little humid but not bad . Looks like the dogs love there chair anyway talk to later

[@WanderingWagners]

It's a pretty standard upgrade we usually have to do in every RV we have, with exception of the Airstream. It had a really nice, real faucet already. The weather held out and it was beautiful!! This weekend doesn't look so promising haha

[@camperbum]

That a boy, I have a friend lol that drives trucks still, I've done the same thing for him. Thoses chairs are awesome, we have one that's probably 17 years old. Nice campground, when we get a chance to come back that way, I'll hit you up on where to go.

[@WanderingWagners]

It's a great park and close for us. Yeah let us know if you're in the area and want to know where to stay!

[@camperbum]

@@WanderingWagners ok, trying to get ready for out trip, off to a bad start. Lost my check list it sucks getting old.

[@garytucker8739]

How do you like the Super "C" compaired to your other rigs?

[@WanderingWagners]

We are really loving the motorhome life compared to trailers. They all have their own pluses and minuses but right now we both think motorhoming is pretty amazing! Especially with the dogs.

[@johncampbell6884]

Just Saying, I always use the available Water hook up. My trailer didn’t pull as well with the onboard tank full, and all the parks I go to have available water.

[@WanderingWagners]

Do whatever works best for you

[@ChasB2010]

What's the brand/model of the new bathroom faucet?

[@WanderingWagners]

It's a Delta Valdosta model number 25757LF-SP

[@UBBERTANKER]

once you backup trailers for a while you just get used to it imo and to me the shorter the trailer the harder sometimes because the react almost to quickly.

[@WanderingWagners]

Yep you're correct. The gentleman days it had been awhile since he tried to back a trailer but he was very happy for the assistance

[@greggcollins4215]

The longer the trailer tongue the easier it is to back. That would be the distance from the hitch to the trailer tires. And small corrections help.

[@maryvanderhorst9730]

You must be at Maumee Bay State Park at least it looks like it we camp there all the time just in a tent until we get our camper

[@WanderingWagners]

Yes this was at Maumee bay state park😊

[@harley9218]

Did I understand you correctly that your rig came with a plastic faucet? If so, that is real surprise. How many mpg's did you drop with that new "heavy" faucet?

[@WanderingWagners]

In the bathroom, yes it was plastic. Most of them are plastic on RV bathrooms. The airstream had a real bathroom faucet though. I think RV manufacturers get kick backs for buying thousands of cheap plastic sinks and faucets. It's not really about weight like they claim because it's minimal difference at best

[@rodneyhuntoon955]

Wait was this photo shopped? Where was the rain??...lol

[@WanderingWagners]

Haha I know, right?! But it did rain overnight Saturday night/Sunday morning but not very long

[@alanradnai7702]

What type of water pump did you replace yours with ?

[@alanradnai7702]

@@WanderingWagners thankyou

[@SuZQ4361]

Didn’t you have water hook ups at the campground? I’m trying to figure out why you were talking about the water pump when you seem to be at a campground with hookups and you aren’t boondocking and using your fresh water tank requiring the use of your water pump.

[@WanderingWagners]

No water, only electric at this park. We are using our pump and always travel with fresh water

[@alanradnai7702]

@@WanderingWagners I tried ordering that pump thru amazon.ca as we are in Canada but it's not available

[@kirkrisseler1485]

Love that SP, but haven't been in a couple years because of the ticks. Did they seem bad this year?

[@WanderingWagners]

We come here often and haven't seen ticks on us or the dogs in years at this park. We've had them at others but not here in probably 3 years. I'm sure there are ticks because they're literally everywhere outside haha
