[@serinehart]

Another back to the basic videos, always like these the best. Bonus tip: get a swimming pool noodle and split it and put on the edge of the slide out to protect yourself if you are working around or under it.

[@RVOddCouple]

Thank you for the tip! Yeah, looks like we need one... lol

[@crusin73]

Tried that, I think it is going to last according to the inviroment you are in. We are in Southern California and the noodles started falling apart after about 9 months to a year. I think it is easier to just walk around your slides or wear a padded hat if you have to work under them. Heck even with the noodles I was still bumping my head and it still hurt, maybe stopping me from getting a cut...

[@mrheyz]

I do not RV and I am not an RVer. I believe you guys are the BEST on KZbin. I am planning a trip for my family to go on a 10-14 day RV trip across America. I love your videos because you guys speak clear and your videos are bright and colorful. Your information is on point (especially understanding the infamous black tank). Love the vids.

[@petitchenil]

You guys hit it all. Great video. The basics when I picked up my new to us class A and drove it two days home 1. Power: Surge EMS with all the adaptors possible for your rig. 2. Water: hoses, spliters, pressure reg, spare nosel. 3. Level: Blocks and chocks. 4. Basic Tool Kit 5. First aid kit for humans and if needed, for the pets. 6. Extra fire extinguishers. 7. New sewer hose - never use the used one that comes with it... never. 8. Road side safety stuff - Just as you showed was perfect!

[@RVOddCouple]

Thank you 👍😊

[@gj9863]

LOVE what you did with the license plate holder!!!

[@RVOddCouple]

lol... That wasn't part of our top 10 but we had to keep it.

[@davidwhiren817]

Yea , the mangler !

[@paulblack1799]

Loved watching you stomp the free advertising for camping world into the dirt. GOOOOOOOO JOHN!

[@RVOddCouple]

We've had it on for 2 years now.. didn't even realize it. Felt good to stomp on that lol

[@TF856]

every time my dad would buy a car he would refuse to let the dealership put free advertising on it unless they paid him to advertise. And they would hate that. He would make them take it off.

[@michelle5190]

My favorite part of this video....Sage filming her daddy.

[@RVOddCouple]

Mine too ❤️

[@nebr72]

I stumbled across your channel a few days ago and have started going through them - this one is especially good advice for newbies. I pretty much developed the same list that you present after a couple of years of watching videos and spending lots of time on the road. One thing you touched on that would be an absolute must for any RV’er is: use a checklist! You NEVER get so good that you can skip the checklist. Only takes a minute or two extra when arriving or departing to check off every item (then maybe you could avoid forgetting your water splitter 😀). I laminated mine and have them with me on a lanyard when setting up or tearing down. When you’re in a hurry, it’s especially easy to overlook something. There are a lot of things that you can go cheap on when getting started, but you should absolutely go with the best (and yes, they can be expensive) TPMS, air compressor (Viair all the way), and surge protector. Keep up the great videos! Best wishes.

[@WilliamHearnTOEFL_Tutor]

LOVE how John "changes" his license plate holder!!!

[@davekent20]

My dad got a flat tire up in the Smoky Mountains at 2 in the morning and a guy stopped and helped him and he said you're lucky this didn't happen 3 years ago I would have robbed you stole everything. Talk about a scary situation. Thank God it wasn't three years ago but this goes to show that you should have protection for yourself always

[@RVOddCouple]

Thank God! Always ready to protect 👍

[@pamkesner8755]

Had to laugh at John stomping the license plate frame!!! LOL 😂

[@bbol745]

Another essential is a good Bluetooth speaker. For anyone looking for a good Bluetooth speaker I’d recommend the ONN medium party speaker from Walmart. They go between $70 an $80 depending on the Walmart. The sound quality is great and it gets loud enough for a noise complaint. (Please don’t blast music if your near others) the battery life is good and the speaker is decently durable. It is quite large so it’s more of a campsite speaker. For a portable option id recommend the JBL flip.

[@markweiner3896]

Good job John..... Yes, the TST ( Truck System Technologies) is a company dedicated to supporting the trucking industry for tire pressure monitoring systems. I believe that's all they do. And, their customer service is excellent. I have the sensors that don't require batteries, rather, they have a 3 years lifespan, just replace them when they wear out... much easier than the battery version and same price. I recommend this product as basic RV accessory number 1..…and I'm not towing anything.... just driving my 6 wheel Mercedes Benz Sprinter that is 23 feet. Yes, just get what you need, you can always add on accessories as you need them.

[@jennthibodeau1093]

My husband and I are looking at buying our first RV I love how you guys get right to the point and are so informative. Thank you

[@MrBklein31]

Really solid recommendations. I've learned so many of these things but it took me years to learn them. Great to have them all in one video! Mercedes, you have gorgeous hair. I don't know how you keep it looking so healthy while traveling full time. Love you guys!

[@elainesmusic473]

SUCH great info, here guys!! I was taking notes. We just booked our first trip, and this couldn't have come at a better time. God bless you all - and you look fabulous, by the way.

[@jmc6230]

Hey guys, just found your channel and thoroughly enjoy it, loving the honest, down to earth approach with your videos and as a recently separated father with a 12yr old daughter who lives with me, and 30 ft trailer I didn’t use at all last year, you guys have re-lit my love to go RVing again, and once the 2 ft of snow we have here in Canada is gone, me and my daughter are hitting the road again, cause like you say life is too short. Thanks again for reminding me how great an adventure RV life can be 👍

[@rickgriffith1]

I have been taking notes and following you guys and other channels since September in preparation for eventually going on the road. I thought I had a pretty good understanding of what I need for us before we hit the road, but once again you guys have enlighten me on new things to be aware of. I already had the Hughes surge protector on my radar, but I was not aware that there is a module I could change out personally that would eliminate the need to replace the entire unit in the event of a surge. So that was very useful information. And the tip about storing a 2 x 8 board and other wood pieces of wood was also very enlightening. Once again you folks have proven to be a very valuable resource for us. Thank you very much and safe travels. God bless.😎

[@RVOddCouple]

Happy to help Rick 😊 God Bless you as well

[@davidwhiren817]

You guys do a lot of great vids , but it's the ones like this , that really make me glad that I follow you 3 , on your learning experience !!! THNX !!!

[@xXtheyeti1Xx]

Great video. John does so good at explaining why these are needed. Good stuff Maynard

[@CHUY-DRZ400s]

The coolest couple in the RV scene !!! Excellent content.

[@TF856]

I always carry 2x6s, 2X4s and 2X2s. I make ramps with the boards and use the 2x2s to make log cabin stacks to put my hydraulic jacks on for stabilizers. Also use boards for chalks. Once I got the very last paved parking spot at a campground and it was extremely steep! I mean It was stupid steep! I ended up using my boards to make ramps for both sides to get the wheels at least 1 foot off the ground and when I got done my trailer coupler was sitting on the pavement to make the trailer level. Sorry if too much info.🙄 And I feel the same way about camping world! 🤬

[@RVOddCouple]

Good stuff

[@joez32]

The longer the better. Love your Channel! Bless you all.

[@RVOddCouple]

God Bless you as well 💚💚💚

[@ronaldwilson1653]

Hey guys I am a new subscriber to your Channel I've been going back through and watching some of your older videos one that really got to me was the divorce to RV living the truth about your relationship that's such a powerful video and I'm glad that you guys stay together I'm glad your husband decided to be a part of your your child's life because I raised my daughter by myself and it's not easy by any means change the poopy diapers and raise my daughter now she just turned 16 and I'm so very proud of her but I'm so glad you guys stuck it out keep up what you doing you have a new fan here I'll be watching all your videos.

[@mikegardiner335]

As a single part-time RV’er your points on safety were very good. I don’t have a vest nor do I have the emergency flashing pods, I will be getting them before my first spring roll.

[@RVOddCouple]

Glad we could help Mike! :-) Better to have it and never use it than the alternative

[@ramman5784]

As we were watching I had just noticed the Camping World frame and told my wife to check it out when you pointed it out to John. She thought I had already watched without her. Nope, just caught my eye. Loved John's response

[@davekimbler2308]

Haven’t been watching much videos now a days but am glad your still around and hopefully doing well ! I did take your suggestion and upgraded my truck to a F250 super duty diesel and don’t hardly feel the 5th wheel on it ! Take care !

[@naturegirl5681]

Wow most informative video I’ve seen yet. You guys are so genuine and helpful. Love your channel. Thanks so much for all you do!

[@twbelieves]

I loved the way you got rid of your license plate holder. Couldn’t agree more.

[@nathanbrodeur]

John and Mercedes what I considered the bare essentials for rv camping is a grease gun for checking the wheel bearings and making sure they are properly lubracted and won't over heat air compressor for tires cordless impact wrench for getting tires off a torque wrench for checking and tightening lug nuts tire patch kit water pressure regulator electrical surge protector propane regulator shut offs tire patch kit a tire thumping bar to check cause sometimes a sensor can fail or the batteries can die and a tow strap

[@n1uno1965]

Really enjoyed the content. I like the want vs. need videos. I feel like it boils things down for those who may want to start the lifestyle. 🖖🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

[@RVOddCouple]

Thank you! Thats exactly what we were hoping to accomplish. It's a lot to take in. :-)

[@sandrapicard422]

Hey John, I bought a set of 10 flares for my truck and trailer. I love them they can hang or be on the truck /trailer or just be on the ground. I bought a set of 4 for my partners car too. They are just so user friendly and water proof.

[@squid5900able]

This was wonderful! for newbies! We have been Rv part time for 3 yrs...and that 💩advice is priceless...now we need a 50 ft hose a green & white hose! We already had almost ALL those equipment .

[@squid5900able]

We have a water filter, that looks like a scuba tank!

[@johnhines3591]

Tpms is not required for first trip. Nice, but not required. Just be diligent on checking tires. Compresser , any decent will do. No need to spend$200 on one. My $60 Kolbalt from Lowes works great. With your list, will cost nearly $2,000 in stuff for a person to go on first weekend trip. You need, sewer hose, don't forget the clear 90 degree elbow. Water hose. Wheel chocks & leveling blocks. Dog bones for power. Should have.. Water pressure regulator Some kind of surge protector Water filters of some sort. Most of above can get at any Wal Mart.

[@RVOddCouple]

Thanks for sharing your list

[@crusin73]

UPDATE; Our Harbor Freight compressor has been maintenance free for several years now even after letting her sit for a few months. however ours is not so little. we keep it mounted in the back of the truck. you have a great view on Safety, Don't forget about upgrading or/and updating your fire extinguisher our 40' 5th wheel came with a tiny little thing ( a waist, not sufficient for an emergency) we upgraded to a rechargeable larger fire extinguisher. also be sure you have spare batteries for your smoke alarm (s). as far as chock blocks go, great job, we have the plastic leveling / stabilizing blocks, been working great under our tires and stabilizers for 5+ years now. you guys always do such great videos, always a bit entertaining and a lot of good information. That's funny, I did the same thing to our commercialized license plate frame and it wasn't even camping world...lol. wishing every one the best of health and safe travels.

[@RVOddCouple]

Glad your air compressor is still working well! Great point on the fire extinguishers!

[@buzzowen7193]

OMG! I’ve been stuck in my house all week in Texas because of the unusual winter storm. You guys not only give great info...you make me laugh! Love you guys!

[@lauricitro6646]

Thanks guys! Just bought our first RV!! This is so helpful!

[@denniss8692]

Even for us, part-time Class B RV owners for almost 3 years now, this video was very informative and a wonderful resource. Good reminders of the necessities needed and items that we must all remember to consider on our RV adventures. Miss you guys and all of the wonderful Odd Squad members we met at the Palooza last September.

[@RVOddCouple]

Hi Dennis💚💚💚 planning another 😊 We miss you as well

[@denniss8692]

@@RVOddCouple Certainly ready for it.

[@lewstoner2566]

IMO Lippert makes the best sewer hose. Our’s is over 3 years old of full time living and it does not leak! 👍😎

[@bobcleveland7316]

Great tips! You provide a real service for us newbies!

[@my2mothersketo217]

Thank you, it really helped us.

[@Vivianbirdsall]

Love you guys!! I hope everything works out for you and your family.

[@artfuldodger870]

So GLAD you did a Gas Stop install👏🏻 I purchased one and haven't put in on yet. This video will make it easier for me since I'm a visual learner. Thank you !!!!!!

[@RVOddCouple]

Glad I could help! It was a super easy instal. Let us know how it goes

[@michaelduda883]

The gauge doesn’t ever work correctly. Because the pressure is dependent on the temp. And they do stop the flow but only if you have a huge leak. If you have a slow to moderate leak it will not shut it off how would it know off it is a leak or your using the propane

[@johnnaquin8828]

I have the same surge protector. I love it. But boy is it bright at night. I have 2 honda 2200 portable generators for my rv so I bought a dewalt low profile trim air compressor that stows under my jack knife. Not only can use for my tires. Many other uses but is only 2 gallon. It's even quiet not like the noisy pancake types. It's a great alternative. I also keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen area. My daughter in law says " if it ain't burnt it's ain't done".

[@jamiehaynes2415]

Great video for 1st timers and well explained. Safe travels and have a blessed day

[@RVOddCouple]

Glad you enjoyed it. We wanted to explain WHY we had these as our top 10

[@tmorg1029]

A nice review for me as I am heading out (hopefully) March 1st. The weather isn't cooperating right now (-15 to -25 over night) but have been working on setup and take down lists (and stocking lists for the road). Maybe add the water splitter to the list? The water problem (for a part timer) I found the Clear2 O, 2 stage system that goes to 1 Micron. I'll let you know how it works out. Thanks again for the "Basic RV Gear" again it never gets old! Be safe!!

[@martykong3592]

Thanks for another great share and video! And WOW, Sage is going to make videos soon :) Very helpful information I wish I knew before, and I am sure it will help many. Great to see you in the warm sun, as we just had our 1 day blizzard here in teh opposite PNW corner; most snow in 1 day in 52 years.... All the BEST to you and family ! Cheers ! :)

[@bbol745]

I can’t tell you how many of those hose splitters I find wile walking around campgrounds Sunday mornings. Lol!

[@wizbang99]

GREAT SHOW. 👏👏🙀 Thanks for the all in one update. We are in the scheme of retirement & want to travel with my wife trying to enjoy the wonderful places we can travel to, looking RV is the best way to do it. With watching the both of you with your daughter in all your videos Class A to Van. It is a lot to learn & now with the C. World Circus online every few days, not a fan of them by help of others BUT I learned alot of the difference in RVs by watching them. I have flown planes for years & love to fly drones to see what is on the other side of the hills. Now in our next life we will be driving to visit more places over the hill. Will looking forward your Live Broadcast coming up. Sorry so long , But really enjoy your Great Work Your Doing & Thank You. Ken & Debbie

[@RVOddCouple]

Looking forward to seeing you Ken & Debbie 👍💚

[@edbowen8287]

Great video - thank you for posting.

[@Tryke_Ryder]

The TST-507 relieved my anxiety about the RV tire issue. I bought a 20v impact and a Viair compressor to help ease my tire changing anxiety. Rhino straps are awesome! Sage with a camera! That’s hilarious!!!I still need to get a clear source filter...

[@HolzMichel]

hi guys, great tips as always... one thing i would highly recommend if you're doing a lot of moving around is have an account with a national or regional tire monger such as Les Schwab or Big-O Tires. they do offer service truck calls (not cheap but well worth it in a dicey situation) and you can get tires at their retail locations even when you're a little low on the froghides in your wallet. this can be every bit as valuable as the thousand parks or other campground membership. one year working in california the earth first-ers paid my truck and slide in camper a visit. they loosened the lug nuts on one wheel. my dog went bonkers when i came back at the end of the day to leave and head down the mountain. she was trying to say: "dad!! sumbody mussed wit de truk!!" being winter and the road grader have just gone thru with its wheels all snow chained up, the rumble of the loose wheel didn't register. driving on hard pack with snow chain gouges, your wheels rumble anyway. so a few miles down the road the crew wagon pulled up behind me. as i let them pass the drivers side front took a dip...i thought i was in the ditch. nope.. the wheel fell off. on the passenger side was a straight drop off several hundred feet straight down reminiscent of a snuffy smith comic strip with several dozen vehicles never recovered still languishing in the bottom. on the way back up to idaho i had to stop in to a Les Schwab tire center along the way and they changed out the lug studs, wheel and nuts.. bought 2 new tires as well. but it still set me back a pretty penny. it was then and there i could see the good sense of having a charge account with a tire monger...

[@highpro1394]

Nice pew pew in the truck door. Keep the family safe!

[@tedreid1035]

I picked up on that. I'm not a gun owner but was wondering how safe it is to keep it where daughter Sage can get to it so easily. Seems like some overhead area might be better.

[@virginialemm864]

Happy Valentine’s Day you guys! Another great, informative video! So proud you’ve learned so much...you’re “old-timer’s” now! Since we have a 26 ft motorhome, we do use the stackable levelers, and that works just fine for us...unless we are on very loose gravel. That’s when we sometimes will slide around due to loss of traction. Yes, yes, YES on the tire monitoring system and water filtration! You NEVER really know about each areas water purity...Bakersfield, CA has a lot of residual nitrates in their water, and they notify you of that. It’s from the fertilizers that has been used over the years for all the orange groves in the area. We arrive there with a full water tank. BTW, the electrical management system you plug in at campgrounds?...padlock it to the electrical box! Unfortunately, they are expensive and there are some who would just steal it if it were not locked-on. Another couple of items that Tim and I consider essential, whether a newbie or an old timer rving, is make SURE you have multiple extra fuses in all the amps used in your RV. We’ve learned, years ago, you can’t have too many in reserve! Another very helpful item to carry is a shovel.... you can easily get stuck in sand or mud, and our little fold-up shovel has been needed multiple times, for various reasons. Geeze you two, I just love seeing you “blossom” (!!!) into such well-informed, helpful people! Keep it up, love you guys, Virginia 💕

[@MountainGirlwIPA]

I love you guys. Thank you for all the videos.

In Australia we are lucky. Our power is 240volt. 15 amp for vans and 10amp for domestic. Have an amphibian adapter to take domestic power into the van. As for sullage, each side has its own receiver with a separate dump point for our toilet waste.

[@benmartin1727]

I'll agree to tires, I didn't check tires in the fall before driving 2 miles to store for the winter. pressure was low in 1 tire, and I popped the bead in the middle of town with no place to pull over. it was hard parking in my shed lacking a tire. I was planning on changing all tires in the spring anyways. hopefully the rim is ok, but when I have to buy 1 rim for a spare, a second wont break the bank. that will be interesting to jack up the rig to take all 4 tires off to make 1 trip to the shop. If I'm lucky enough to be able to reseal the tire, I'll let them jack and change everything, but if the tire is finished, then I'll do the half the work for the shop. then the fun of inventing a spare tire mount, and installing a tpms

We bought a 2020 Ram 3500. The truck itself has sensors on the tires but I think I've heard you say in the past that we should get more sensors for this TST system. Which one do we buy? Do we just get extra sensors?

[@lorialbrecht6792]

Another great video. I was wondering though, if you have the ClearSource system do you still need the Berkey?

[@debbietaylor8091]

Great video looking forward to the next one.

Eeeee gads! You used that "base" term right off the bat, a few times even. :( I love following you and never miss a video, and I know in my heart of hearts that you can come up with any number of clever descriptors that get the point across. Happiest of travels to you!

I loved this video. We’ve been RVing for about 20 years; part time. I wish someone had done a video like this way back when. I picked up some great ideas today. Thanks for doing this. I’ve been a subscriber for a number of months, but I don’t take the time to watch all of them. One thing I noticed today - - Mercedes you look like an actress. A pretty actress. And you John; we’ll you know it is what it is...... 😎

[@RVOddCouple]

It is what it is 😊👍

[@francesmarshall8886]
