You are, by far, my most trusted source of information on RV reviews and features.

[@NIRVC]

Awe! You just made my day Jack! Thank you so much for your kind comments!! I am so glad you enjoy our videos!!

[@furbyfb]

Angie! You always give me THAT I CAN DO IT feeling! Although my hubby always handles all the set up and break down it's a good feeling to know that if YOU can do all of these things and yourre a lovely lady there's hope for me too!

[@NIRVC]

Yes, you could definitely do it all yourself if you had to! 😉 Thank you for your kind comments and for watching our videos!

[@lightning4871]

Angie, I always put a ‘Y’ valve on the facet and connect a second hose on just in case i need to wash some thing and to have an emergency fire hose available to use.

[@NIRVC]

Excellent suggestion! Thank you for sharing it and for watching our videos! 😊👍

[@shonuffeggs]

Thanks again Angie for doing these videos. Picking up quite a few tips from your series. Easier to retain seeing the whole process instead of just belng told how to do it.

[@NIRVC]

I agree! I am a much better visual learner than I am if I just hear it. Seeing it demonstrated and listening to the instructions works best for me! I am so glad you have found the series helpful! Thanks for watching our videos! 😊👍

[@wesalexander2693]

These are all excellent videos, Angie, thank you!

[@roydavis2242]

I always walk through the site and plug in the EMS surge protector before pulling in. That gives the opportunity to look where everything is and for anything in the site I don't want to run over plus check the power. If I get a fault and need to move to another site, I have nothing to put back. In 40 years, you'd be surprised what we've found in sites.

[@NIRVC]

This is a great suggestion Roy! I will add this to my checklist. Thank you so much for watching our videos.

[@robinbabcock7057]

I carry 2 36" garden shepherd hooks that I drape my power cord and water hose on to keep them off the ground. Reduces a path for bugs, etc.

[@NIRVC]

Great idea Robin! Thank you for watching our videos and for sharing your great suggestion!

[@RogueBurn]

Hi Angie. Sounds like a lot of work and extra steps, but seems necessary. Protecting yourself, family and coach seems very intelligent when docking. Thanks for the advice.

[@NIRVC]

My pleasure! I hope you found our 4 part series helpful! Thank you for watching our videos! 😊

[@conniemcmillian7010]

Thank you for another great video ...this is superb learning experience for a new RVer like me

[@NIRVC]

I’m so glad you found it helpful Andre! Please let us know at National Indoor RV Centers if there is anything else we can help you with! Thank you so much for watching our videos!

[@ronaldw.2923]

An extremely informative and well done video. You not only gave us the how to do set up, but the very important why. Look forward to more videos.

[@NIRVC]

Thank you Ronald!

[@007KrausBean]

Interesting. Most RV manufactures that I have read information from say that you need to have your jacks down before you put the slides out.

[@NIRVC]

It can vary per manufacturer but with Entegra it is recommended that slides come out at ride height then jacks down. When you go to leave jacks in, get coach to ride height and put the slides in. Always check your owner’s manual first!🤔✅👍

[@mariannejensen349]

...another benefit, with those smart small rubber lists, on the edges, where hoses and cords are in is, that the door to the storage-room of the hose or cord, won't damage those vital things, in the long run, and make hoses leak or break the surrounding cover of the cords, right? (I just try to imagine what it would be like, if those hoses and cords were out, and those lists on the edges weren't there)

[@toptobottom247]

I loved it. Let's keep this experience going.

[@NIRVC]

Come get an RV from us and we will help you start your own adventure! [e-mail]

[@davidbrickey5925]

Perfect job setting up the RV. 👏

[@NIRVC]

Thank you David!

[@lonniepate341]

Another great video. The owners manual will rule but generally speaking, most guidelines state that you should level your RV first, and then deploy the slide outs. If you try to level your RV with the slide outs extended, it puts unnecessary strain on your RV’s leveling jacks which will speed up wear and tear and possibly damage some of the leveling components. Similarly, it is easier for your slides to deploy on a level surface rather than at an imbalanced angle. Extending your slides before your RV is level could damage the retracting mechanisms of your slides.

[@NIRVC]

Hi Lonnie, it is always best to check your owner’s manual. On the Entegra Cornerstone the manufacturer recommends extending your slides first while you are still at ride height and then putting down your jacks. Thank you for watching our videos! 😊

[@jadejaguarcuontheotherside7551]

So MUCH GREAT INFORMATION! I am making notes and saving your videos !!!!

[@NIRVC]

My pleasure! I’m so glad you found our video helpful! Thanks for watching! 👍✅😊

[@bossofhind7900]

Hi, I like this ladys presentation of product. Really this lady is good presentation person in RV industry. I like she's job doing very good. Best wishes to her .

[@NIRVC]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@JonPoklop]

I love the term stinky slinky.

[@NIRVC]

My kids actually came up with the name and it’s so appropriate! Thank you so much for watching our videos!

[@suaibkhan2577]

Wooow my dream rv

[@jwrappuhn71]

Good job Angie.

[@NIRVC]

Thank you!

[@josephpockey1117]

I’ve watched all of the other 3.

[@NIRVC]

Thank you for watching our videos! I hope you found them helpful!

[@donloughmiller2177]

Enjoy your videos. When wiping off the bugs. I found using a dryer sheet with the water it will soften the bugs and you will find it even easier to wipe them off

[@kathygallagher7378]

Nice job!

[@NIRVC]

Thank you Kathy!!

[@memories2dreams822]

Is there any other way to check if you have sliding doors?? Thanks for all the great tips :D

[@lonniepate341]

On this model coach IT IS correct to extend slide outs first then engage automatic levelers. Good idea to know what is proper procedure for your particular coach.

[@NIRVC]

Yes! You are correct Lonnie! Thank you for your comments and for watching our videos’ 😊👍

[@edhowell1683]

Thanks nice video.

[@NIRVC]

Thank you!

[@stevepatterson2290]

Very nice 👍❤️

[@NIRVC]

Thank you!

[@dasjung2459]

Hi Angie, greetings from Europe. I like your video’s. Sound advice and good tips! Q: is leaving a lot of 50A cable on the rol inside the coach not creating excessive heat?

[@NIRVC]

No you don’t need to worry about that! Thank you for watching our videos! 😊👍

[@bradwedge8276]

I never knew you put slides out before Jack's! Cool!

[@NIRVC]

Always check your owner’s manual but on the Entegra Cornerstone it is slides out first then jacks down. Thank you for watching our videos!

[@hookem7060]

Excellent set of videos!... Also loved the Wiinabago Factory Tour, and intro for the 2021 View 24D, so much so that we just ordered one from NIRVC. Question for Angie: I think you mentioned setting the slides out before leveling (jacks), is that right? (intuition is telling me the opposite, but perhaps the order varies per Coach?). Thanks again for your informative videos!

[@NIRVC]

Thank you Leo! Congratulations on your View from NIRVC! So happy to hear that, and so excited to have you in the NIRVC family! Always check your owners manual but typically you want to bring your slides out at ride height. Once your jacks are down you may not be square anymore. So slides out at ride height, then jacks down. When you go to leave you do the reverse. Jacks up, bring coach to ride height and pull in the slides. ☺️

[@josephpockey1117]

When is part 4 coming to youtube?

[@NIRVC]

Hi Joseph! You may have already found Part 4 but just incase you didn’t here is the link. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHnPqGZ-ptpqrpY

Too ~ Kewl ! !

[@NIRVC]

Thank you!

[@maryseisharrell6512]

Hi Angie, how long is the 30amp cord on the 2021 navion d?

[@athollmcnicoll256]

I think that was maybe a double take and that the first time you got wet? But never on camera so it looks as if all went well. Cheers Angie, enjoy the recipe!!

[@NIRVC]

Hi Atholl! I don’t remember getting wet so I think all did go well! So glad you enjoyed the video and our recipe. Please email me at [e-mail] if you would like a copy of the recipe for yourself! 😉

[@rickc9873]

Just wondering, wouldn’t it be better to level coach prior to extending slides. Less stress on slides. Then re level.

[@willie4551]

Is there security in the campsite or do we need to install a camera to record what's happening around the RV? You mentioned lots of times the surge protector and water filter are stolen. We might not catch the thieves at least we have a record. Does National Indoor install security cameras?

[@Dewdaahman]

I hope Uncle Sam gives you recognition, at tax time, that you deserve by allowing you to file under, and as, "The RV AUTHORITY".. btw, I hope your tax is only a dollar, two ninety eight.. lol.. and, if I haven't mentioned it lately, thank you again Angie for your years of dedicated service, and dare I say friendship, to not only your RV Customers, but that shared by you with us here on KZbin.. My hat is in my hand, thank you again Angie.. :)

[@NIRVC]

[@RickandDarcirvadventures]

We hook up electricity first then water so you can wash your hands after hooking up the stinky slinky, even though I wear gloves like you.
