[@glenfarrow8658]

Im glad you enjoy your time making the videos, being able to laugh, try new things, and help educate others! Great job....

[@brendanwalsh1675]

4 years of research covered in 25 minutes! Fantastic!

[@todayissomeday]

Glad we could help! 😉😂👍🏻

[@jomarkelly3932]

I have bought 3 Blackstone Griddles.... 1 at home 36”... 1 in my RV 22”... and 1 at my Barn / Storage 22”... Yep I love Blackstones, LOL. Safe Travels!

[@ernie7065]

Thank you both for your service... we have 132,000 miles on our 2nd Class A diesel coach... a 2001 Monaco Diplomat... 40ft.... I have carried a ladder since purchase... never used it yet. The only item we carry is the fold up table. I use an inline water pressure "lowerer" -- no water filter or softener... just distilled water for drinking. Btw, I commented re your tow dolly when you started, you switched.

[@todayissomeday]

That is awesome!

[@kaptainobvious7201]

Appreciate the positive attitude consistency😎👍🏼 The world needs it- thanks and see you on the road

[@todayissomeday]

Thank you!!!

[@walterday8933]

Koodos for having the separate Garmin, and being the navigator for the driver! I couldn't tell you how many times I've tried looking at my screen while driving only to look up and something has happened or changed in traffic, or I've reached a bend/curve in the road before I've realized it. This has lead to making adjustments faster than what would have been prefered... Sometimes resulting in "pucker-power" moments!

[@ericdee6802]

Regarding pressure regulators. The wet bay city connection on all newer RV'S, like "Ruby", on any class have a built in regulator from the manufacturer and are permanently pre set usually at 45 psi. Having another regulator at your primary RV park supply cranked up to 60 psi will be cut down to 45 psi at the RV's wet bay. Save the 35+ dollars for the beers. Excellent video, thank you for sharing your experience and gadgets with us.🇺🇸✌️

[@meltil1858]

My husband & I are buying the dirt filter, water filter & water softener system since we watched y'alls video. Plus my husband doesn't know but I getting him the flag pole & solar light set up for Christmas. He already has a large Navy flag. He served 22 1/2 years Navy aboard Submarines. God Bless!

[@todayissomeday]

We won't tell him....lol. Thank you both for your service!!!

[@marymills6438]

That little black foldable step y'all are sitting on to point out gadgets! The most important piece of kit I have. A real back saver.

[@todayissomeday]

Yes, indeed!!!! I use it every time I get something out of the pass through storage bay.

[@spencerduncan]

I have been following your channel for over 2 years and it is my favorite. You info and hints are beyond helpful so please don't stop. My only grip, and not at you, is there is not someone driving a class "B" doing what you do the way you do it. But we can still use much that you provide in our traveling and so, Thank You and hope "to meet you ont the road"!!!! Don and Julie in GoGo.

[@todayissomeday]

Thanks, Don. We truly live what we are doing for the community.

[@rvhome5599]

In addition to the water softener we use Scale Blaster, it’s an electronic device you mount in the incoming Rv waterline. It’s been a few month now and wow it works like magic. As for the surge protector, well I mounted mine inside the bay, this way it’s out of the element. We use TST TPMS and it works great

[@todayissomeday]

All great items.

[@rcarey3965]

RV Home - I don’t see any RV specific models so assume you used either the residential or pro series models. Did you add some kind of pvc or pex extension from you water intake to allow for the wire wrap? They don’t seem to recommend installation on a flexible hose. Rob

[@rvhome5599]

Yes I used pvc line and made my own connections in the wet bay, it’s a residential unit and all I will say , it does his job

[@johncooper3766]

Suggestion Phil, on my water supply i use splitter first then regulator to filters to camper inlet. The other side of splitter is at hydrant pressure which can be very high sometimes, makes for good washdown hose, cleanup hose, or firefighting hose.

[@ericdee6802]

City hydrants run 80 psi on average that's with both wet and dry barrel hydrants.

[@todayissomeday]

Great tip!

[@1950bobk]

Good post, especially for newbie full timers. You should have added the COE campground book to must haves as well. Keep on keeping on and stay safe. We have renamed our coach from Beast to Hurricane Hunter as this past week we have dealt with our 5th storm of the season. Finally drying out here in SW Florida.

[@todayissomeday]

Now that is funny!

[@NeoAbo]

I've been RVing for decades now and still glean new ideas and tips from you! Thank you!

[@todayissomeday]

You are so welcome!

[@richlondon4661]

What a great compilation of quality must haves! I've been watching RV "must have" videos for over two years and have never seen as much good stuff in one video.

[@todayissomeday]

Wow, thanks!

[@KelleyTexas]

I have those same clear plastic bins, and they work great in the storage above my sofa.

[@todayissomeday]

Yes they do

[@stevetekrv5791]

As always informative, and fun video. Costly video though...why?...now I have even MORE things in my Amazon wish list! LOL

[@todayissomeday]

Sorry!

[@jimross9429]

Thanks to your video we discovered another piece of gear we had to have. We have a pair of Kermit chairs from back in our motorcycle camping days. They are awsome chairs but when we saw those light weight armless chairs we thought lets give them a try. One of the reasons I like an armless chair is because I am a guitar player and chair arms just get in the way. We recieved our new chairs today and they are great, perfect for sitting around the campfire and absolutley great for sitting in while playing. These chairs are going to get a lot of use camping and sitting in the circle making music with friends old and new. Thanks again for the entertaining and informative episode.

[@duncanjames914]

It's great to have the endorsement for products from people who have used them. Very helpful! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

[@todayissomeday]

Glad it was helpful!

[@robin61-63]

Terrific blog! Thank you. Best camping chairs for us: Strongbacks. After using many different so-so comfortable and downright uncomfortable chairs, we discovered Strongbacks with lumbar support.

[@douglasolsen1208]

Thanks much for your videos. We have used you as one of our Go To, on the road, RV educators and appreciate the work you put into cranking out these videos.

[@todayissomeday]

[@BevDessert]

When you book your military base campgrounds make sure your companion will be able to get on base with you. My sister was denied access to Fort Leonard Wood in October 2020 because she isn't a military member or dependent. COVID-19 restrictions at that base restrict access to only military ID holders no visitors.

[@bobee-kayclark1402]

Thank you so much! We just brought our first RV home tonight and realized we have no idea what we’re doing.

[@todayissomeday]

You can do it! Just have tp play with everything a few times.

[@keithbridges8758]

Phil i would really like to see a video on how you store your stuff in the bays. That has been my biggest challenge.

[@Sherylbeck-hc5br]

We agree

[@garymaple3387]

I use long storage bins

[@jenwhiskey]

Oh how cool! Thanks for all the amazing information! Navy veteran here (six 1/2 years only), can’t wait to begin my traveling life again. I’ll be going Van instead of RV for now. But these are all amazing gadgets and great information. Also, love love love her shirt!

[@DAVIDTATLITUG]

I usually don't watch these but you made it fast and informative. Rving is great but you have to be sure you have the money. There is so much more than just buying the unit. Well done guys.

[@todayissomeday]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sandibergstrom711]

Well there are a couple of these items we are going to have to get and thankfully some we already have in the new to us RV we just purchased!! We plan to start traveling in January but we are moving into her over the next couple weeks and will mooch-dock at our house that we are renting to a friend starting in December. Will all the craziness of 2020 we decided not to sell the house yet just incase we have to come back here. I hope we see you out there one day!!

[@williamtoddtaylor6072]

Watched this video last night in Mansfield, TX. Left this morning to go to Port A. Stopped at Alsatian RV for the night. I think I saw y’all leaving as we came in. Then, I definitely saw you coming in to Cora’s Mexican Food Restaurant as we were leaving. Small world! We’re heading out tomorrow for Gulf Waters RV Park in Port A

[@todayissomeday]

Very cool! That was probably us!!

Thanks for the reviews. I just ordered the water filters through your link and appreciate the 15% discount. The total was about 20% cheaper than ordering it through Walmart. You guys are the best!

[@todayissomeday]

Glad we could help!

[@ernie7065]

Re your levelers... cheeze... I use about 6 boards, 2x12. They work as levelers and pads.... yes, I have auto leveling... but usually a single board under certain wheels does the job.

[@LaneLarson]

Been watching full time RV videos for weeks now. Y'all are probably my favorite. Great videos with great info! Especially helpful for military families. Thanks for taking the time to help inform others!

Just curious about the book for military installations. Do the campgrounds on bases have cabins? Thinking about buying the book for my parents but they don't have a RV but they do like to stay in cabins. My father is retired Air Force and thought about buying them the book as a gift.

[@stephenryan185]

@@eddietucker408 I have only been to a few Fam Camps I have not noticed any cabins but most every base has guest housing . I'm sure your Dad knows about guest housing if yoju lived on base .

Great toys y'all thank you. If I may, I'd like to mention to the coach drivers out there, when you pull into a rest stop and there are at least 8 available slots don't pull up alongside the guy in the travel trailer with your generator exhaust blowin right into his open door and act like it's not your problem. We're all just tryin to get along out here and nobody likes it when their generator, for some reason, smells like pee all of a sudden. Keep it tween the lines.

[@sle1953]

We love you two!! Your so helpful in helping us first timers (coming up) to help us get started. Wanted to also say, I keep a book that I write in to tell me where you guys go and eat by state and cities. That way we won't miss all the great places you've showed us!!

[@todayissomeday]

You could save the locations on your very own google map. It is easier to find them when you head that direction. It is free and easy to do. I have a video on it.

[@WILDEBILL308]

Lots of good ideas. I like my clear section of the sewer hose where it comes out of the RV. That way if it is a wayes to the sewer inlet you don't have to run back and forth to see if it is running clear.

[@todayissomeday]

That's a great idea!

[@davidbrooks5847]

One of my favorite upgrades is adding the sewer hose storage pipe under the RV. It keeps the water compartment cleaner and provides mor storage space. It will expand all the way across the RV.

[@ellaj6127]

Where is this info at on the sewer hose storage? It sounds fantastic

[@caseypries7559]

I prefer the southwire surge guard. I plug it in, plug the rv into it, and then throw the breaker. It checks the power and if it detects a problem it won't output it to the RV. It also continues to monitor it in real-time and if a problem occurs it shuts down the power to the RV.

Hey Navy, I Jackie and I are really enjoying your intel but Damn it’s hurting my wallet. Lol! We purchased the military RV book that you recommended and look forward to hitting the military installations. Little history on us. I did 25 years in the Army. I was a Airborne infantry Pathfinder. After two and half wars the VA rated me at 100% disabled. The three of us are looking forward to this spring road trip. No sure how my Service Dog will handle the ride, hopefully she can do it. She’s a 108 Lb German Shepard. Anyway looking forward to gleaming more intel. And Thank You. “Roll Tide” !

[@JENNI72651]

What a fantastic video! My husband and I are renovating our 2015 Winnebago travel trailer and I’m certainly going to be purchasing a few of these items that you mention, like the surge protector, tire pressure indicator, water filtration system, water softener, etc. It’s so good to know that these items have passed the approval process with you and that you recommend them. I’m also looking to purchase a cell signal booster, if you have any recommendations for that, I would be very grateful. I truly appreciate the time and hard work that you both put into making this great, informative video. Thank You👍🏻⭐️👏🏻
