  I am a truck driver, and I would like to add to the term GOAL, Get out and look. WATER, walk around the entire rig. Looking on both sides of the rig, including above and below, will ensure that you have no obstruction anywhere before backing into a site or any other backing maneuver you have to perform.

  I’ve been RVing since 1997. This YouTube channel is among the best.

  We do the walk around and walk through of the camper before we move it. I take a look, my wife takes a look and even our 9yo looks. My wife knows how to setup and take down the whole thing and my 9yo is learning. The 3 of us all make sure everything is picked up and secure. So my tip is don&apos;t be the only one looking around show your family and friends the things to check for just in case you overlook something. Hope this helps.

  I came into enough money recently to start thinking about buying a small travel trailer. Since I had never considered such a purchase before, I started watching YouTube videos on the subject this week. Thank goodness this video (and the other part of it, too) showed up in my timeline before I made the purchase! Your tips and advice made me realize that I would have been in way over my head. Now I know that a travel trailer is not right for this septuagenerian after all -- and so I canceled my appointment with the dealer. THANK YOU!

  At the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP7rAW6DF2U&amp;t=765">12:45</a> mark of your video you address a possible shortage of electrical power. &nbsp;One option to consider. &nbsp;Most campground power pedestals have more than one receptacle. &nbsp;Along with the 30, or 50 amp options, there are also 115v receptacles as well. &nbsp;Carry an extension cord (or two) and take advantage of them. &nbsp;Run the cord under your rig and use it for suspect appliances under your awning. &nbsp;Our tabletop air fryer is used in this manner on those hot days when the AC is running. &nbsp;You may find other uses for this overlooked source of electricity as well.

  I thought I was an experienced RV/camper until I learned several tips/tricks from this video alone! &nbsp;Thanks for sharing this info.

  If your coupler will not seat fully, have your partner get into the tow vehicle and step on the brake. Then shift into neutral and slowly let off the brake. The weight of the trailer hitch will force its way onto the hitch ball.

  There&apos;s a quick and easy way to check your lights, even if you&apos;re solo.<br><br>Connect trailer<br>Turn on tow vehicle<br>Turn on headlights<br>Activate emergency flashers<br><br>This activates all of the lights at the same time so you only have to get out and check once for trip.

  Gray, black, gray is great advice. I once had a bad connection on a rental RV and it was mucho yucky.

  Thanks for being clear and detailed. I appreciate you not wasting my time with, &quot;good ol&apos; boy,&quot; hokey humor. &nbsp;I&apos;m here for information only, not bland entertainment. &nbsp;I bought a used Keystone RV. &nbsp;These videos helps to make sense of the RV owner&apos;s manual and provides more needed maintenance info and suggestions than I was able to get from my original research. Thanks for speaking to me as though we&apos;re not all on our 3rd beer.

  Dude, I can&apos;t thank you enough for these vids! I&apos;ve learned a massive amount from them and I feel like I have a handle on what I&apos;m doing, especially as a newbie. Keep up the good work...
