You two are a riot!! You missed one major step that I do right when I get to the campground - open a beer.

Great video, I would have added a couple sanitary and safety precautions with the water hookup. <br>1: It’s always a good idea to presume the last person in your campsite was a novice. They do nasty things like placing their sewer hose over the water bib to rinse it out. Carrying some Clorox wipes to wipe down the exterior of the water hookup only takes a few moments. Then on to step 2.<br><br>2: some campsite water supplies can have sand or debris buildup that can clog a pressure sensor or filter. Always run the water briefly after wiping down and before hooking up your hose.

As a private pilot we use WRITTEN CHECKLIST for each phase of travel. With any crew communications is paramount, if needed the handheld radios work great if necessary. <br>One crew reads checklist, the other executes and repeats. Both have checklist and all items are confirmed...

This reminded me of our first blind back in. My wife on the walkie-talkie: "Steady, steady, keep coming....keep coming, sh!t"......🤣 I can laugh now

I just found your channel yesterday . I love your videos. You two are helping me recover from my knee surgery. I’m 72 years old and I do all the driving. My husband is legally blind but we still love to travel and explore the great outdoors. We have a 35ft Toy hauler (that’s up for sale) and we used to have a F350 Super Duty crew cab. (A big truck). We traded our truck for a car and then also bought a smaller truck, F150 crew cab four wheel drive. We also bought a smaller travel trailer and will be back on the road again this summer. <br>I’m recovering from knee surgery and looking forward to loading up our new to us trailer and get back on the road. In the mean time I’m enjoying your videos. <br>THANK YOU FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT

Quick disconnects are a must for use for the hoses. Makes things so much easier!

I have watched tons of youtue videos over the years I must say that your energy is unmatched and electrifying. You guys were straight to the point, not a lot of fluff or unnecessary content. And you even put the we already know it all at the beginning (lol). My wife and I are currently considering jumping into the travel trailer game and have een watching numerous videos pertaining to it. Again I love the energy and look forward to seeing more of your positive content.

Just started watching a few days ago. I love you guys! Just so nice to see good people and thank you for doing this! My wife and I just bought a very small off-road capable RV - Wayfinder go lite Sky Breaker. This is a completely new adventure for us, so watching your videos to learn what and how to do this. This will be our new way of vacationing here in VA.

Quick tip, purge the air outta that water hose before hooking to RV and open one of the taps inside RV to purge the air from system before turning on water supply instead of having all that sputtering when you first open a tap. Great video by the way! Also remember not to close breaker at power pole until power cable is secured to RV (you do not want that power cable to be live when you plug it in) and have all RV off breakers off before power is applied. RV breakers can then be closed in turn to prevent any big current surge if the whole RV is powered at once.
