Setting up your RV Travel Trailer at a Campsite / Setup Mistakes to Avoid

[@rvlifeisaboutthejourney]

Great video and easy to follow. We always plug our surge protector in as a first step before disconnecting or leveling. That way, if there is a problem and we have to move sites the move is much easier. Once the surge protector gives us the "all clear" we go ahead and commence the leveling and disconnecting, etc. It doesn't happen often but we are very grateful for this preliminary step when a site move is necessary. 😊

[@RVFieldTrip]

RV Life is About the Journey, that's a great tip knowing if your electric works before all your set up is done, I've not had it happened to me yet but I can't see it being a lot of fun getting the whole setup done having to tear it back down just to move campsites, thank you for commenting

[@catwilson1774]

Omg ty for that advice!!

[@angiefitzgerald1409]

We also were tought to make sure electricity is good first. We actually had a site that there was a problem, so we went to the office, told them, and got another site quickly and all was well. Husband and I both would have been a little upset had we unhooked and had to then move. It is a really good idea. Not a have to, but it works.

[@rvlifeisaboutthejourney]

@angiefitzgerald1409 we unfortunately had to learn it the hard way so I am glad that some are being taught before they run into it. :)

[@fivestring4653]

Thank you for sharing 👍

[@ralphb.3802]

I’ve watch a few of these videos, none check the utilities first. I check them first because if I have a problem with water or electric and have to move to another site, I don’t have to hook the trailer up again. Here’s my 10 steps to setting up at a campground. 1. Pull up to the site and look it over before pulling in. Look for overhead branches and debris on the ground, anything that would keep from pulling in. 2, Pull/back into site, check that the utilities work and will reach. Check that the water flows and the pedestal is wired correctly. Spray water faucet with Lysol. Look at sewer hook up for anything unusual. Go no Go. If all above checks out proceed, If not contact campground office to correct problem or get new site. 3. Level trailer side to side and see that steps clear. 4. Chock wheels. 5. Unhook trailer from Truck. 6. Level front to back. 7. Stabilizer jacks down. The rest in any order. 8. Connect water, electric, sewer, cable TV, if applicable. 9. Chairs, awning, table. 10. Cold beverage.

[@RVFieldTrip]

That's a great checklist ralphb.3802, we appreciate you sharing it with everyone, that's why I like the RV community always willing to share great information and great ideas, once again we thank you

[@Brineytoes]

Great checklist to have with our new trailer! I copied it and will print and laminate it to keep handy! Thanks for such a wonderful way to avoid mistakes or forget something important! MUCH appreciated!

[@ryaneisen5975]

Rv tips and Travels set up video mentions to check utilities first. Along with some things missed here and in your checklist Ralph. No offense to this video, he’s just a super detailed dude. You also should NOT put your steps down before leveling front to back. If your door is closed, steps on the ground, and the rear is high, once you raise the front you’re going to destroy your entry door when the steps push up. Check out his video, I’ve been doing this almost 15 years and I even learned some things I was doing wrong.

[@Jc-bo1uu]

Nice video guys, I just bought one and let me say yes it is stressful your first time out in your second time can be stressful too, but not quite as much as your first one. And on your water hose, I don’t have the white hose. I have a blue high-quality hose that cost me about $40 for 25 feet. It is a high pressure drinking water hose. And I put the filter at the Fossett side and I also put caps on my water hose when I put it away to keep it clean as possible. And there is something else that I didn’t see you guys do that was shown to me by someone that RVs a lot. You should always spray the Fossett at the campsite with Lysol and the end of your hoses with Lysol before connecting it will kill any bacteria or germs that may be on the fittings. And when I am camping and I kid you not when I say this. I have observed numerous people disconnecting and connecting their sewer line to their RV, and then disconnecting and connecting their waterlines to their RV, using the same gloves, they used to disconnect there sewer hose. So after what was told to me and observing what I observed numerous people doing, I am always out there with a can of Lysol spraying the water fittings before I connect my hose to it.

[@RVFieldTrip]

See that's what I love about KZbin people like yourself point out some very good ideas, to be honest I have never thought of people using the same gloves while connecting their sewer lines and then hooking up their water line, now I'm sort of grossed out I may need to go get a shot of antibiotics LOL, we wanna thank you for sharing with all of us a very good idea, thank you for commenting my friend

[@laureenblechman634]

You two are absolutely adorable and very smart!! I like your style. So brilliant about the water pressure if you don't have a pressure regulator! Good ol common sense. What got me at the end was how you cracked open a cold "adult beverage" and you we're gentleman enough to hand the first one to your beautiful wife!! THAT'S when I pushed the "like" and "subscribe" button. I love you two already!! We got a rescue dog who has extreme separation anxiety but my husband owns a lobster pier in Southwest Harbor, Maine and we have to be there 5 months out of the year. We live, primarily, in California. You can probably guess but, we now have a very expensive "dog house" and have from now till May, 2025 to figure this all out. We plan on a few practice trips before we leave and you've helped tremendously!! If you ever make up to the Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park area of Maine, reach out! We'd love to treat you to lot's of fresh lobster, crab, mussels, clams, etc. If you're not a fan of lobster, we have fish, chicken, hot dogs and burgers too. Not to mention, a full bar of "adult beverages" and it would be an absolute pleasure to get to know you both.

[@RVFieldTrip]

We have three dogs of our own and I've all the dogs we've had they all have been rescued as a matter of fact we have a new addition which we call him drop off or D.O for short we live out in the country and people drop off dogs all the time we ended up taking him in' cause he was living under our porch, and we do so appreciate you offering us some seafood rose does like some seafood, and I thought that was funny when you said expensive dog house we feel the same, we appreciate you subscribing to the channel but more so than that we appreciate you commenting looking forward to talking to you in the future

[@laureenblechman634]

The offer is real, you’d love Southwest Harbor and Bar Harbor, ME if you’ve never been. Acadia national Park is a must see!!!

[@RVFieldTrip]

@@laureenblechman634 the park is beautiful lots of fun there, we appreciate the offer but no you don't need to send us anything but thanks again, you guys are the greatest and we appreciate you commenting once again

[@toddfry7861]

The number of turns on the water only controls the volume of water. One turn or on completely has the same pressure. I have been RVing for years. Your videos will be very helpful to beginners and experienced campers. Very well done.

[@RVFieldTrip]

Thank you toddfry7861, and you are absolutely right, thank you for commenting

[@bobabooie6389]

👍🇺🇲

[@DanielJohnson-ec8rk]

Glad I’m not the only one that knows there is a difference in volume and pressure. He’s going to learn the hard way

[@tkimble8165]

I think the more you turn the water the more the pressure increase which put more gpm

[@DanielJohnson-ec8rk]

@@tkimble8165 water pressure remains the same whether partially or fully opened. The quantity is all that changes

[@SimpleTastyFood2024]

My husband, who is now retired, talked about getting an RV and traveling the country. So glad you and your wife are enjoying yourselves. This video is helpful and TFS. 👍 Merri :)

[@RVFieldTrip]

I would recommend getting an RV if not just to get away every once in awhile, my wife and I have never regretted it not even once, it's like taking your home with you eating in your home and sleeping in your home, once again Merri thank you for watching and commenting

[@fasterthanyou7605]

This week my wife and I (young thirties with two under two and three husky fur balls) picked up our first toy hauler. 28ft double axle and are so excited. We are a motocross racing family and are sick of the tent camping at the race tracks! We also love camping with our huskies. This video helped remind me of the things my parents taught me as a kid about our camper. Thank you so much, Rose is my mother maiden name, so pretty. Have a wonderful week and thank you RV Community for your help!

[@RVFieldTrip]

I agree rose is a beautiful name when I met my wife she was the first person I ever met with the name rose, a very heartfelt congratulations on your new toy hauler RV now you got a place to keep your bikes and a place you can call home to rest after a day of motocrossing which by the way sounds like fun and a place to keep your Huskies cool and your kids comfortable it is like a home away from home, again rose and I congratulate you and let us know how it goes the first time out we look forward to hearing from you again thank you for commenting have a great day and stay safe out there

[@Outlaws28]

Nice video for Noobies, thanks for sharing. Good point about leaving the chains hooked until the Travel Trailer is settled. The binding on the hitch ball occurs when the trailer moves and the truck is in park. When my chocks are set, I put the truck in neutral and ease off the brakes to let it settle. This help take the pressure off the ball. Get another pressure regulator! I have two just in case. The fancy one with a gauge and a cheap one for backup. I have a blue fresh water hose thats a little easier to deal with. Flush the hose befor attaching to the RV, just in case anything crawled in there. I don't like to close it. I hang filter on the faucet because I don't want that extra weight hanging on thise cheap plastic fittings on the RV. When its full it can weigh a couple of pounds. Put a 90⁰ fitting on the RV input connector. Take the stress off of that cheap fitting. The clicking noise on the slides is the clutch on the slide motors. I was told its ok to run the slides until the clutch is clicking. Thanks!

I liked the tip about leaving the chains on, which I’ve been doing just because it seemed convenient. I have never had a trailer disconnect as smoothly as yours did - whether very small utility trailers, the small camper we had for several years or the 29 ft RV we bought just recently.

Wow. Thank you so much. I subscribed to the channel and look forward to loads of information. I just bought my first trailer. It's a little guy only 15' but that's a lot for me and my wife. As a newbie I've had such anxiety from when I brought it home trying to not crash into my house parking it on an uneven, unpaved driveway. The dealer didn't tell me about chocking the wheels, using something to prop up the tongue with a block of wood like you have, etc. They did give me a walk thru but I didn't get an owner manual so I had no idea how to even open the door without the keypad code. It's been a bumpy ride so far. So again thank you. I look forward to learning so much more.

[@RVFieldTrip]

We thank you MuscleyMan Comics, we know exactly how you feel when we first start RVing we had not a clue on how to set up or maintain a RV, we did get an owners manual but it didn't teach us a thing LOL, as rose just said once you set it up one time it becomes easier and easier from there just remember to take your time do it at your own pace and pay no attention to the onlookers cause they had to start off somehow, you will do just fine, we look forward to hearing about your first adventure out and we thank you for subscribing and commenting and we will see you next time

[@billhillegass946]

Great job on set up, I myself have attached a water pressure regulator to the coach and it’s on a 45 degree angle, then I won’t leave it by accident on the park faucet . I’ve found that if I connect the hose to the park faucet and turn the water on ever so slightly it will push 90 percent of the air from the hose before entering the coach. Less time to bleed the faucets. Great job and enjoy your adult beverage.

[@RVFieldTrip]

Oh that's a great idea I never thought of getting a 45 degree angle to connect it to the travel trailer, that's why I love the RV community people like yourself with great ideas are willing to help, we are so glad you subscribed and look forward to talking to you again thank you

Great video. We like to check and make sure the electrical and water work before disconnecting. If they dont you may have to move to another site.

That's a great idea LifeIsAJourney4Us, I would hate to have it almost all set up and have to move my site, that's what I love about the KZbin community people putting in their inputs and giving some great advice like yourself, thanks for the advice and commenting

Thanks for the video guys absolutely loved it and informative. Me and the wife are looking into one so I’m soaking in some knowledge before hand. Plus we have the same truck! I think it’s a sign hahaha much love.

[@RVFieldTrip]

Well if you have the same truck as us then it is a good sign, I like that you are soaking in the knowledge before purchasing an RV, when you get one you are gonna absolutely love it both you and the wife, I know rose loves ours, you have to let us know when you get one we're getting excited for you, thank you for watching and commenting and we hope to see you next time

[@ddcornell1019]

Thank you for showing us how to set up camp.

[@RVFieldTrip]

You are very welcome, when we first started out we have never set up an RV before and it was one of our biggest worries, so we are glad we can pay it forward, it's actually very easy when you get into a routine, have fun out there and thank you for commenting

[@kingrider75]

Waiting until after setup before having cold beer leads me to believe that I have 0 self control. I usually crack one as soon as the truck is parked 😂

[@RVFieldTrip]

See now that's what I'm saying cracking 1 open after you put the truck in park, unfortunately rose has a different idea do the setup first then I'm allowed to have a beer LOL, and since rose has the majority of the common sense in this household I guess I will just have to do it her way LOL, I do appreciate you commenting and I will show rose that I'm not the only one that believes beer comes first 😀

[@youtubeconnollyfamily]

Hey, as long as it’s in park and you’re done driving for the night. Crack one open whenever you need to.😂 some of us think clearer after a few sips
