Top 10 Things NOBODY Talks About!

[@jameshunter1763]

Thanks!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi James, Thank you so much! Lee and I will be using your contribution towards buying a new wireless microphone set for our future videos. When you see it on camera, then you will know that you helped to make that happen. In this video, we were filming and hit with a small wind storm that distorted our audio a few times during the episode. High Fives and Huge Appreciation! Pam & Lee

[@jameshunter1763]

@@discoveryboundrv You're more than welcome, you have no idea how much your videos have helped this newbie, thanks again!!

[@Ricky-eo5ym]

Really informative appreciated.

[@Lori245]

Thanks for the video

[@jocelynb8935]

Almost all of those items I’ve never heard about and I’ve watched a lot of RV videos. Good

[@richarddorion3806]

Good list a lot of fun

[@jimcowie9507]

When it's buggy outside, there's no avoiding some of them getting inside. at night, I remove the filter from the range hood, turn the hood light on, turn any other lights off, turn the hood fan on then watch the bugs get sucked out of the trailer. After about 10 minutes they're all gone.

[@cdb5662]

Excellent content! I’ve never heard any of these before. Thank you!

[@robertcee510]

Great video. Thanks. ~Robert

[@briantate8619]

LOL... You guys are absolutely AWESOME!!!😀 Great video! I laughed so much! Thank You! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

[@therealvinnyb690]

Hilarious!! I like to go out and watch. Avoid eye contact! LOL.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Priceless! Either way, it's fun to watch others make the same mistakes we do. We actually backed the rig into a spot in Wisconsin and our neighbors were outside clapping for us. How inspiring is that! It made us feel great. We were just glad that we didn't hit anything. LOL.

[@travis1572]

I love my rest areas

[@joeschmoe9242]

We are watching you to.... no one is safe, gossip is golden...

LOL. 😀

A Thermacell works great for mosquitos up here in Alaska with our huge skeeters.

[@jimbuckley4986]

Ok it’s Sunday night sitting by the fire, waiting for this dang snow to end so we can get out and do some camping. Your video popped up and now I have subscribed. Enjoyed and will watching some your previous. Thanks

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Jim! Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel. We hope the snow has passed and wasn’t too bad. Keep us posted on your camping adventures. We would love to hear the stories. Best, Pam

[@TheDizzy1964]

We use zevo lights the plug in and get rid of the flying type bugs

[@arvidanderson9906]

So true every point

[@ROBERTGIBSON-ow1qk]

Hotels that have laundry for guest. always clean,

[@williamhanifee-je9wf]

I replace my screws with nut and bolts use a painted head on bolts and double nuts so don't back off

[@julieoliver7494]

Try peppermint plants or oil for the bugs

[@ralphb.3802]

Toll by plate: We use an EZPass and for the most part and it works well. But whenever we go over New Jersey bridges near Philadelphia, it charges us the wrong toll amount. Instead of $8 it charges our EZpass account $21. The human toll taker charges the correct amount, so we pay cash on these bridges. Screws:The first six months of owning our new trailer, I kept finding random screws around that I don’t know where they go! We don’t walk in our bare feet in fear of stepping on a rogue screw. The screws in the stove kept falling out. I finally added some glue to keep them in. Watching us: It seems like when I back into a site, all the neighbors come out. I do it too. It’s part of the fun of RVing. Good video, Thanks.

[@gordontownsend8439]

Dab of clear silicone on those screws when you tighten them

[@Carol-pg8ec]

Love bugs

[@discoveryboundrv]

Oh Yes….Love Bugs are definitely on the list!

[@patrickmullen5529]

Battery vacuums love bugs... yippi

[@lewisakinsjr3682]

Her laugh is hilarious

[@tomballard4794]

For mosquitoes I use a thermacell and mosquito coils. Dirt and mud. Even if we wipe your feet outside and take our shoes off there is still pine needles, seeds,dirt all over.

[@Brinkley_like_a_backroad]

Old timer remedy. Are you ready. Vanilla extract mixed with the gold listerine in a spray bottle.

[@mobileempire5522]

People never talk about how solar panels quit working when the weather isn't nice . They also never talk about how there going to charge there huge battery bank when it's drained. I just went to a rest area last night thinking that I was going to lay down and rest and do some deep thinking but right when I layed down a bunch of diesel semi trucks were idling and I had to end up leaving.

[@gorvlivin]

Thanks y’all!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Safe Travels!

[@vgenzo1]

Soo True!

[@monicanasser9503]

How about checking your landing pads aren’t screwing off. We lost one on the road. So when checking tires check to make sure your landing pads are screwed on tight.

[@kelleymoore6080]

My goodness, Lee reminds me so much of Rainn Wilson.

[@scottashe8463]

Wash them as you use them.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Great advice. I wish the kids would listen. LOL.

[@girlDriver47]

Spotted Lantern Flies too. Ick

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Lauren! Absolutely! We drove through Hagerstown, MD and they were Relentless!!!

[@terideck1464]

Dynotrap for the bugs. QVC and HSN have Specials once a year

[@user-wp3bb4yn8h]

Ok , so I have corelle dishes but generally use paper plates. I would avoid using toll roads. I would NEVER give my SS # to a campground.( if it is so bad they run background checks then no thanks!) The “bugs “ and watching fellow campers/rigs, is part of the experience! Haven’t had the pleasure of doing laundry in public, yet, so that’s to be determined. Anyway love the video!!😊

[@anthonyedwards7236]

LOL. Look at you two go. Catching up on a few of your vids at my daughters while using her internet. You both look really well and we miss you both. Imagine how much money you would have saved living in an RV while in the UAE. I’m surprised that monster doesn’t have a dishwasher? I wish we had done what Robert G did, he bought a boat and is living on it. Safe travels regards Tony.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Tony! We miss you both too. Our travels will eventually bring us to Australia and we will definitely give you a shout to hang out for a while. Robert did it right. We just chose a path that lets us pull over every 50 miles and have a burger. LOL. Big hugs from all of us. Pam & Lee

[@sandramcfarland2704]

Correlle can and does break occasionally… and when it does it absolutely shatters into many tiny pieces. Ask me how I know? Lol

[@belindacrockett]

Honestly. Try Irish Spring bar soap. I have a 23 year diesel pusher and I don’t have bugs because of bars of soap. This can’t least help inside.

[@hammer48ful]

For doing dishes we use spray bottles. One diluted soap and one water to rinse. Cuts down on filling tanks.

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

We avoid toll road at all costs. Only have paid for a couple of bridges, but luckily we could pay online. On laundry - the last county campground we stayed at advertised laundry and every single machine was out of order. And had been. For months. Think they should have noted that on their reservation system?

[@nevetsgray3321]

The sound is better when the wind blows

[@allisonwilson1349]

You guys are really cute together!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you Allison! You’re the best!

[@blockbmw]

For stink bugs! With a set of chop sticks, drop them into cooking oil in a soda bottle. No chance to make their stink.

[@brindasnively1577]

I’m one of. Those people that take my dog pads to the laundry mate. Mostly because they won’t fit into my machine. However I do take Clorox wipes in with me and I wipe out those machine. Great Dane pads are very big.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Brinda! Doing laundry is exactly what they are designed for. Leaving a surprise for your neighbor is why we added it to the video. If everyone did exactly what you are doing, then we wouldn’t have to carry our own Clorox wipes. LOL. 😀 Thanks for sharing and thank you for setting the example for others. Best, Pam & Lee

[@brendansheehan6272]

People who have FULL time jobs may enjoy the convenience of brick and mortar stores. These stores provide immediate supply. You can actually see the products, and most of these stores have discount programs.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Brendan! We agree. We have full time jobs as well. Going into the big camping stores is a lot of fun, especially for the kids. Even with the discount programs like Good Sam and others the end price is still higher. However, when you need it fast there is always a store nearby. Travel safe.

[@robertclubs9908]

Hey my friends

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Robert! :)

[@kevinclark1348]

#7 Background checks? I have never had that experience yet, however nobody is getting my SS# especially from a camp ground. So I guess if or when this happens i'll be a moving on to the next camp ground.

[@roamingnomeRV]

Use Wheatgrass Plates. Natural, recycled, lightweight, inexpensive and doesnt leech any chemicals into food.

[@bigbadbob143]

Great video! How about the "talking neighbor" Just when you start setting up, someone wants to spend 30 minutes in a conversation. Usually, you just want to get set up, and start cooking and walk the dog. Thats when the talking neighbor shows up. lol

[@TheAverageJoeBro]

Just a quick piece of advice for ya. Rode Wireless Go II. Thank me later! Love your honest and pure videos. Cheers!

[@craigandkimberlyparker5368]

And Asian beetles/ladybugs along with flys,mosquitoes and stink bugs.

[@discoveryboundrv]

You said it! 😀 We have those as well, but our girls still think they are adorable. The Southeast was tough this year for those little beetles.

[@brada5185]

I agree with you 100% I will never give up my Social Security number to anybody like that I’ll just go to the next campsite

[@Timw927]

Yeah if they need a SS number, I'll say no thanks and move on.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Truthfully, so did we. By the way, this was a new park in Florida. Our last Background Check Park was in Virginia. We hope this doesn't become a new trend.

[@robintherrien67]

@@Timw927 I agree and will never give social security number to a campground. we heard of identity theft issue from this (our friends).

[@robv4053]

Yeah, no. That will never happen from this camper... Any and all campers should pass by any campground asking for it. Take a look at your Social Security Card and take particular note of its stated purpose. The allowed misuse is unreal. More to the point, in my experience, it's challenge enough for campground personnel to use a computer, so I have ZERO trust whatsoever they could keep any of my personal information secure! I will be sure to camp elsewhere!

[@bbredhead70]

Exactly

[@drswanny9000]

Great list. :-) Stink bugs are not stinky if you don’t squish them. And they eat other bugs… We Corel for the same reasons Do you actually give out your SS#?

[@pursuehappy0607]

I only fear #10, I know people are going to to be watching! lol

[@09dave1952]

Trash is my pet peeve! We are currently in a campground that actually has descent trash receptacles (with lids) spotted so there are about 4 campers to a can. Except where we are parked, there are none! Me and my neighbors have to walk about half a block to get rid of our trash, not a big deal. But, when we drive in and out of the campground we see all of the other campers with trash cans. I'll admit it, I'm jealous.

[@rowlandgray5029]

I never use toll roads, so I have never had that problem I avoid them. Second guess bugs yep seen them and know some have issues with them. If they are very bad I got ya ! But yep I have had a trailer, or Camper and last 6 were 5th wheels. I still have one but don't travel as you and yes everything is expensive and you never know whats going to need fixed next. They are sure not built with robust in mind. Guess it would weight to much LOL. compared to my first camper and first 5th wheel when had no slides it was small and light but we got by. Many things have changed the Montana I have now is for me great for just me at 38 ft. some have to have 40 ft or more with 4 slides or more. I have two and find it my home away from home and can stay for as long as i wish. I have like you I guess enjoy my 5th wheel.

[@brianbelliveau5551]

Yea RV and Marine it’s always higher

[@thomasbumgardner6970]

One of the most accurate and honest videos out there. Nice one!

Thank you Thomas! Best, Pam

[@casaqu1]

Screws. Use lock tite when tightening or replacing screws to keep from backing out again. Also consider rivets when applicable

[@franlaplume8243]

I have an account for my EZ pass attached to a credit card, so when my balance gets low enough the account gets filled back up to a limit of $30.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Great tips Fran. Thank you. ❤️😀 We also chose the EZ Pass…just not soon enough. LOL. Best, Pam

[@TheDizzy1964]

My hubby is a RV watcher do he feels me in on who is who around us . Lol I am busy most days and will get update on who just pulled in next to us from hubby lol

[@zstoiclife]

Awesome video guys!! A lot of helpful information!

Thank you!

[@davidgroves8049]

loose screws = blue locktite Yes watching people back in is a JOY=camping entertainment, popcorn time! I do not offer help, I watched a couple hit a tree 37 times in a row. MY fave is newbie dumping tanks! some dont even know where the dump tanks pull valves are! For the bugs! we put a Therma cell next to the door. this helps a lot.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi David, Great tip with the locktite! Therma cell seems to be a very popular remedy. We will have to give it a try. Thanks.

[@heroesandzeros7802]

We use the Correll and lots of paper plates at home. We can never have enough forks. Go to the restaurant supply store or Sam's and buy plastic forks in bulk. Our RV has 2 big boxes of forks. Yard sales are great for buying cheap metal forks.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you. Great Tips! We always run out of forks and spoons, then we have a big bag of plastic knives that we never use. LOL.

[@johnrulandsermons]

Put super glue on the screw and then put it back

[@cjgilbert209]

What a fun video! We laughed with you all the way-this list is so true! Add tarantulas to the list of bugs. We were at a park in NM where you had no idea during the day that tarantulas came out at night. 😱 My very wise husband didn’t tell me about them until we were on our way to our next stop. Thanks for being so real and fun to watch. It’s so evident that you enjoy life together. Y’all truly make lemons into lemonade, and that attitude is refreshing. We can all relate to the problems that occur while RVing,but it’s how you handle it that helps you get through it. Keep the videos coming; we so enjoy them! Our best to you.

[@elywalton7147]

Yep... Life lesson: NEVER live where they have "tarantula season!" 😎

So Do Trk Drivers some RestAreas have Free DumpSites.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Roger! We have seen all kinds of rest areas. From luxury style to empty pull overs on the side of the road. The one thing that they all have in common is that there is a good chance you will find us there. LOL. 😀 We saw a few that just say “Text Stop”.

[@charlescoushaine]

Excellent Video!! Loved your 10 things nobody talks about and your video editing skills! Bugs entering our trailer at night because of our light by the door attracting them was a problem for a long time until I changed it to a motion sensor type so it just comes on as we enter - works like a charm to keep the bugs from coming inside!! Also, for ants, we learned to suspend our hose & electrical cord from the hookup to our trailer OFF the ground to prevent the ants from having an easy highway inside!

[@HansGyswyt]

Great video. You two are such a happy couple.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thank you so much Hans! 😀 You’re the best!

[@sjeffreyw]

Hitting all the rest area's are costing you extra fuel.

True! When our 3 year old says she has to to the bathroom, we pull over. Lately, I think she says that just to get out of the truck. LOL. Better safe than sorry.

We handled biting flies by using a pool noodle and poking incense sticks into it. Place pool noodle on the ground, under awning behind your cooking station. The lightly, smoky fragrance keeps bugs away. We have also clipped them onto the awnings’ edge. Be mindful of falling ash

Hi Jennifer and Brad! Documenting your journey is the best way to give back to the RV Community. We have learned so much from our RV neighbors since we hit the road and now it’s our turn to give back.
