I usually don’t comment, but I wanted you to know that I came across your channel about 2 months ago and I’ve been hooked ever since!!!! I went back and binge watched EVERY SINGLE EPISODES that you have up!!!! I’m so amazed at your beautiful family!!! I’m addicted your channel!!! Just wanted you to know you guys are awesome 🤩🥰🤗👍🏾

[@OurTribeofMany]

Thanks Venessa. You are so kind.❤️

[@mruggier0]

A big suggestion, put everything in plastic tote bins. EVERYTHING linens, towels, pillows, tp nothing should be left in the cabinets. Throw in a few dryer sheets and lock tops securely. Prop open washing machine and refrigerator too.

[@Crystal88777]

I was laughing at P.Solo’s joke about older fathers. When he said what do they call geriatric fathers? I thought Abraham😊Just love Tribe of Many Peace is so sweet.

[@loricreed]

Put a decorative pillow on the corner of the couch it will cover the ink instantly. ♥️♥️♥️

[@OurTribeofMany]

Best idea yet! 😂

[@melissaburke4423]

@@OurTribeofMany did you try hairspray?

[@nikkicicero7730]

Replace all 4tires and keep the best old one as a spare. Start with 4 fresh same brand tires. Don’t let anyone talk you out of buying less it’s the safety of your family

[@amsodoneworkingnow1978]

Try toothpaste rubbed in gently and rinsed in warmedwater. It's called a geriatric pregnancy for women December dad for older fathers Also hair spray removes ink too.

[@michellemoran3670]

the hair spray works a treat : )

[@catwoman4580]

I think geriatric father works lol

[@TheConnleyClan]

So, we had several "break you into the RV" moments. One we couldn't talk about for quite awhile either! We were living in the RV and had just started our journey. Drove from Arizona straight through to Texas and were quite tired. My husband was trying to turn around and went into the entrance of a Hotel with a covered drive. We weren't thinking about how tall our RV was and "BOOM". Long story short, it ended up ripping the front sleeve of our RV off. At that point we boondocked at Walmart so we could sleep and actually problem solve the next morning! Ugh! It's nice to hear we aren't alone! Thank you for sharing.

[@reginaclifford6305]

I love your RV Mistakes video, it makes you guys totally real and down to earth! 😀 Who wouldn’t be traumatised after some RV bathroom stories like that! But it was funny. Much love and God bless ya’ll

[@OurTribeofMany]

It’s funnier now that time has passed. 😂

[@grambhenk1997]

When we bought our RV a few years ago I read some great ideas on RV USA. I keep unused dryer sheets in cabinets and between cushions. Supposedly, the smell is not liked by the mice. It helps keep the camper smell fresh. Be blessed sweet family !

[@OurTribeofMany]

Such a great idea!

[@TheLiviehibbs]

Rosemary and peppermint oils on cotton balls in all the cupboards too!

[@Smalltowngmom]

When we closed down ours each year we made sure to put everything in Rubbermaid tubes so the mice can’t chew it up making nest for the winter.

[@lynhanna917]

I was told to put Irish Spring bars of soap in the motor home and it would help keep mice out. Thankfully the local mechanic likes that brand of soap, every spring he gets the 6 bars of soap and they still smell a little.

[@annettebartels2061]

I was told dryer sheets for repelling mice works too

[@Alfakkin]

As a family you have so much "energy, good intentions and brilliant ideas"...you are a pleasure to watch

[@LeafLikeOnATree]

We always leave the fridge doors open when we aren’t using it. Keeps it from getting musty. Also buy some moister absorbers from the dollar tree to put around the camper when storing. For the pen I’ve always had good luck with hair spray getting ink out. It may take a few passes on that one. Gotta love kids. We always say “We just can’t have things”

[@sorrell12345]

Solo’s still traumatized🤣 Precious & hilarious man!!! Every one of you are so very precious!!! Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us. God bless!!!

[@shirleyfretty487]

You guys have a very nice RV, now you've had the mistakes, I think everything will be fine. Enjoy it next year. Happy traveling Solo and Sarah. Peace was resting so peaceful!!!!

[@vgil1278]

My husband was emptying our toilet tank at the campground and the pressure caused the hose to fly up and whip back and forth, spraying the vile nastiness all around the emptying station. The man waiting behind us drove away. I looked at my husband and he was happily continuing on. It was SO HORRIFYING, his mind couldn't accept it. I hated to break through his, "reverie", but I had no choice. The rest is a blank.

[@mollyjoy7820]

Hairspray for the ink, and doors slightly ajar for fridge!

[@whydoyoucare27]

Yep...Was just going to write hairspray but wanted to check first if it was already here...and here it is! :)

[@Eblanchard85]

Yes!!! Leave door open!!

I was just going to say Hairspray! Works great

[@smithacres1742]

I came here to suggest hairspray too!!

[@jeanhecker4533]

I know nothing about TVs but isn’t there a storage bin you could put a spare in? Or on the roof? I don’t think I would ever go anywhere in it again. As far as the P & P goes. Those are things you can control in the future and hopefully never have happen again.

[@kaylawson1615]

RVing with your family will be some of the best memories you will make. Year 1 you learn then you enjoy the rest of the years. Love that you share some of your life. You have beautiful children ❤️

[@elainebines6803]

Oh you must keep it! Especially with the way the world has gone this past year or two. You and your lovely family will always have a holiday, be it spring, summer, fall or even winter. Short or long break and complete freedom. Changing scenery every day if you wanted too. It's hands down a keeper and your children will have beautiful memories of what they're parents did for them. You don't have to spend a lot of money and can be with nature 💖

[@ShanaLawson]

Oh absolutely. We’re slight preppers and an rv is gold in our world.

[@charlottesavage8097]

You should put moisture traps in there when you put it in storage. It stops things going mouldy. Place them in the sinks so they don’t tip over or spill on the sides if they overflow.

[@jennathacker4439]

I cracked up when you guys were talking about having a baby and being so much older than everyone there. Lol. I had my 7th baby at 36 last year. I named him Isaac and joke about how he's the child of my old age and Isaac is so fitting.

[@hminchella7423]

Lovely story. I was a geriatric prim. 😊

[@homeschoolingmysuper7884]

Aw! 36 is still so young! I was 43 (so old!) when I had my 7th last year so I am done sadly lol

My oldest son is 21. My youngest daughter is 5. My husband is 54. We get a combination of my husband getting called granddad and folks thinking My son is the dad or if I am there (I look a lot younger than my 49. Think mid 30s) folks think My son is my baby daddy and my husband is his dad. Weird!!! Lol!!! It's either baby or of wedlock or cougar mama. P.S we are also an interracial couple, so the assumptions are extra...

[@mariaelliott706]

You can laugh now. I love Solo when he said he’s still traumatized. You two make a great team.💞💞💞

[@janrogers8352]

Remove the medications as they may be out of date when you next go to use the RV. Try using hand sanitizer on the ink, it works on dried paint on fabric so it's worth giving it a go.

[@robinjohnson5050]

Yes, try the hand sanitizer. I work in a call center, we use hand sanitizer to remove ink from chairs and desks.

[@ChristianLove7]

Your story had me cracking up 😂! You made my night! Sometimes God allows things to happen to people to warn others not to make the same mistake. Thanks for the RV life lessons😊!

[@annecaunce]

I feel so mean for laughing, but honestly that was so funny. Very glad that you've recovered from the trauma and you haven't sold the RV. Looking forward to more Tales from the Tribe next summer. 😁

[@lauristandley4359]

A baking soda paste might work. I know that worked when my kids were little and got red Kool-aid on my counter tops. Love your stories and beautiful family.

[@teambeining]

What a blessing you have kids old enough to do your emergency running! I can’t wait until my kids can drive 😉

[@OurTribeofMany]

It’s amazing!

[@SB-kg2is]

My husband just laughed as he’s had that experience as well lol. There’s definitely a lot to learn. Your RV is beautiful and I hope you have many beautiful memories in it.

[@lorisanchez2469]

From my own Rv fridge experience, it’s best to leave the doors cracked open when not in use. They make little plastic brackets that hold them open while in storage through Camping World.

[@justpassinthru]

Wadded up newspaper is good inside too, but always leave cracked when not used

[@gloriabeggs3151]

Yes,leave door of fridge open abit.

[@campingwithnikki4532]

Make sure you check the seals around the door on the fridge, there is always hidden mold there that can get smelly. Open all fridge doors when you aren’t camping, especially the freezer. That is always the most moist and prone to mold.

[@gloriabeggs3151]

@@campingwithnikki4532 yes,mold and the smell can be bad. I agree with you.

[@ChristianiaInMyHeart]

Oh I know what you mean by going straight to your RN degree, great analogy! More than half of my nursing class didn't have their CNA license when starting. But those who did definitely had an easier first year, that's for sure! Love from Denmark

[@mdillo2696]

Please don't leave any paper towels, toilet paper, clothes or towels in the RV. No blankets or pillows unless they are in a heavy tote. I did that the first year after we bought our RV. Mice built a nest. I was horrified! Not trying to tell you what to do just making a suggestion. Love your videos!

[@OurTribeofMany]

Thanks!

[@arjones0819]

Good advice!

[@robinlehman8232]

This also happened to us. Also put Irish spring soap in different places to keep mice out.

[@misslottieish]

@@OurTribeofMany Or put some Decon rodent killer around when you store the RV. Then you can leave the towels and things where they are. And leave the refrigerator and freezer doors propped open with some baking soda inside. Love your videos. Get a spare tire please and get a roadside assistance before next season. xoxox

[@joytoyouandme4593]

Mint T-Bags are also a good deterrent for mice. Although they would need to be replaced every 2 weeks or so.

[@glendachester8679]

Oh my gosh, this was so funny. My husband is a germ-a-phobe too. You have to own a Motorcoach to truly appreciate this story. My husband would have just walked away. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Love your sense of humor. You have to laugh to keep from crying.

[@sallymonroe7767]

That RV is nicer than some houses I’ve lived in! I shrieked when you got to the part about the overfull tanks backing up. Talk about learning by trial and error!

[@christinem.alwaysbelieve]

Baking soda mixed with alittle dawn dish soap. Make paste and rub on area. When we winterized any of our campers and when had 5th wheel on permanent site we put fabric softener sheets in every compartment,drawers and cabinets. Also put a small amount of vanilla on napkin and put inside fridge and freezer if closed completely. Camping stories can be quite adventurous. Especially dealing with the tanks 🙃😆

[@timvandermey4792]

You have to keep the fridge open. Use towels to wedge it open

[@kencurtis2403]

We prop it open and put in an open box of baking soda.

I use Lysol disinfectant spray to remove ink from clothing and purses. It might work for your seat 😁

[@judyedwards7239]

you two are hilarious!! I was laughing so hard while listening to you about the water in the camper. I am with Solo I would have said sell it also. Thank goodness Sarah you are so level headed to work through the mess. Sweet baby Peace is adorable and Daddy Solo is taking care of his little Princess. Have a great rest of your weekend and I look forward to your next video.

[@feleciaphillips6388]

Personally wouldn't leave anything in there that mice can use for a nest...paper products or anything fabric like the towels.

[@joyw7046]

Even the chargers w/coated covering the mice & winter critters will chew up. Diapers are definitely a no no to store in there over the winter

[@Jean2235177]

I second this. And keep your fridge door ajar. If you store it off-site, check on it every now and then. Monitor for mouse activity every now and then.

[@OurTribeofMany]

After reading all these comments we are going back ASAP to take out any towels and paper products, plus open the fridge and freezer and put baking soda inside. 😂 #THANKYOU

[@tanyamcnutt8480]

I've heard Irish spring soap will deter mice, I guess you just put it around different spots in the rv

[@justpassinthru]

I put all that in totes under the bed

[@mylife-321-0]

You poor guys! My sister had that story to tell at a dump station. After that she didn’t want to use their tanks ever again. They learned over time.You might try a little hair spray on your ink spot. Test it out on a safer spot somewhere maybe under your seat. Don’t let it stay on long and be ready to wipe it with a damp clean cloth. Maybe that will it get off. TFS!!! Your daily lives ,love your sweet family!

If you can, don't give up. Even close to home trips with the kids will always be in their fondest memories.

[@darlenelamountain2831]

it is very sad to close the camper for the winter... Keep your fridge doors ajar, it will keep it fresh! Hairspray should take the ink off. Solo is so funny!!!!

[@suzannes5888]

Yes, the old school hairspray, in an aerosol can - like Aquanet.

[@lindagoodman5333]

I would trade places with you two in a minute. My age group was shamed into not having more babies. My biggest regret is letting others tell me 2 kids was enough

[@MaDukesMaDukes]

I have to admit, when u got the RV I thought about the Robin Williams movie RV too ( I actually chuckled a bit) I think Robin, no disrespect intended would have looked at y'all, smiled that big beautiful and healing smile of his and say "💩 happens"... RV"s take a lot of work to run smoothly, especially with all your crew😊.. be proud ☮️💙🤗 Stain: Nail polish remover or maybe oatmeal left to dry (oatmeal absorbs) I had a course in press printing (back in the day🤣) and to remove ink we would use a liquid called varn. Or maybe one of those "fix a rip in the couch stuff" "as seen on tv".. I saw one that looked like a marker and it blended colors to match, worked on the couch and small scratches on the car... If all else fails, get a cute throw pillow.. Good luck

[@maggiedoor6093]

In Canada we have something called Lestoil multi purpose cleaner. ( strong pine smell) Ink stains, oil from cooking, oil from cars, tar, etc. Can use full strength or dilute, second application may be needed. My husband got oil from a motor on his jeans it came out. It works! For walls, floors, clothing etc.

[@myrnaloy3731]

Perhaps leave your fridge cracked open a little bit with an open box of baking soda left inside for the smell and I’ve had good luck getting ink off/out with hairspray.

[@amandadeinhardt6388]

The same thing happened to us the night before we began a cross-country road trip home! It was indeed traumatic!!! I feel your pain 😭😭😭

[@rebeccareed2652]

For the ink try shaving cream, for the inside of fridge leave a open box or open container of baking soda and leave doors ajar. And leave some open bars of Irish Spring soap through out to denture mice.

[@rebeccareed2652]

Also I live in Florida and my parents had a RV you pull they used for vacations and weekend getaways and they always keep containers of Damp rid to help with the moisture I don’t know how the humidity will be where you are, just a thought so you won’t get mold.

[@toniconder696]

We just winterize our RV. Kinda sad camping is over for the winter. But good to be home more too! Be careful with certain products you leave out in RV for winter. Products in bottles will freeze expand, then thaw out and bottles will bust and stuff will leak out. Just a heads up on that!!! We love ❤ camping 🏕

Ha ha! Oh my goodness, P. Solo's giggling. GOLD! I thought you were about to say..."You know what happens when you have a new baby...YOU HAVE NO ALONE TIME...so we went to the RV...;0) " But no it was a cleaning trip .

[@kathynorthrup9452]

or the leather seat, try Young Living Essential Lemon Oil. It took off permanent marker from my friends leather couch that her grand-daughter decorated. It will detox the leather so wipe it down with lemon oil and a paper towel then wipe off the lemon oil with another cleaner.

Rodents love to run up the RV's aux electrical power cable and climb in where the cord goes through the wall. Unplug the cord, disconnect from the RV and make sure the cable hatch is closed tight.

[@patriciafinn4563]

Take out anything liquid, itll freeze. Tote up all fabric, towels, bedding, nothing cardboard or paper. It's all fodder for mice. Stuff steel wool into any and all potential entry for mice (only need 1/4"), waterline under sink. Mothballs or lavender next to steel wool or lavender

Ooh! We used an RV this summer for the first time as well and we were so scared to use the bathroom (or at least all the things you have to do after that).

Also, try scrubbing a yellow or light tan sharpie over the ink. Wipe away immediately. Worked on a desk once. Worth a try.

[@nanamarler8282]

Hey, try cheap hairspray ( aqua net) for the ink stains. My son used a pen to color on a photograph that was near and dear to our hearts. I thought it was ruined and since it had been the only copy and no negative, I was disappointed. My Mom laughed, grabbed a can of aqua net, sprayed the ink and lightly dabbed (you can scrub on the couch). It came right off. Also works with clothes ink stain. Just wash the hair spray off after ink is gone.

On our first RV trip with our children they were about 2 & 3…they stopped up our toilet and we had to get a big stick from the woods and push the poop into the tank. It was so bad. The poop dripped all over the floor of the RV. Hubby was gagging and I couldn’t do anything but 😂

You should use RV toilet paper. Hairspray gets ink out. Things do freeze in RV. So I always bring items in for the winter.

Amodex Non-toxic Ink & Stain remover: I have an ink stain on my white leather couch in our RV and this was recommended. I have not tried it. It just came. We are packing away our stuff to get ready to head south (Myrtle Beach and then Central Florida) for the winter. We hate the cold weather. As long as you have an RV you will learn something new every single trip. We have been RVing since 2005 thru two motorhomes. We are still learning all the time. We rarely make the same mistake twice.

I decided to just get my tubes tied after my 3rd. I knew I was done and I asked OB if I could get it done before leaving the hospital and she was able to do 5pm the next day. I was so happy. My hubby was having some medical issues and his Dr. was against any kind of anesthesia at the time. It was very easy. I was awake and talking to everyone in the OR. Went home the next day. I haven't had to worry at all. My hubby passed January this year. Just thought I would throw the idea of a tubal ligation. It really isn't that bad as far as pain, pretty much in get it done and your home.

Take the lotions and shampoos out! Even if they don't freeze and break, the product gets weird afterword. I just keep a small tote with everything from the camper and stick it in the top of a closet till spring.

As traumatic as those experience’s were, the kids will look back at them with fondness and humour..they’ll be the funniest memories of owning an RV 🤣🤣🤣😊

Try a little hair spray on the ink, it works wonders on many things.

[@debbieomi]

Yep, was going to comment with this tip. I worked at a laundry/dry cleaners and we always had a can of aqua net to use on ink stains. I will add that you need to spray it on your cloth then daub it on the stain. Do not rub it.

I always use a lot of hairspray - definitely works on clothes. Olive oil sometimes work. Has anyone tried The Pink Stuff on ink?

[@jennysnook]

@@debbieomi once you apply the hairspray what do you do next? Scrub & rinse? Thank you 🙏🏻

[@debbieomi]

It's the second part of my comment. Spray on the cloth then daub it on the stain. If this is on clithing, you need to put a rag between the layers as when you are daubing at it, the ink can transfer to the fabric under it.

[@jennysnook]

@@debbieomi ok, thank you.

Lots of newbie rv'er experiences. We full-time in ours. Get a waste valve connection where your "stinky slinky" connects, as it helps prevent poopsie oopsies. So funny about older Dad title...I had an older father growing up and people thought he was my "Grandpa"...not so funny!! Also my older sister was referred to as my Mom on one occasion. Leave fridge door blocked open and also get some Damp Rid to help with humidity for winter storage so that you don't have mold issues.

We can relate! We own a 5th wheel camper and it’s overwhelming with all the tanks and water levels and such!
