I appreciate the quick talk, hate it when it gets all drug out! Excellent😉😉

[Friendsshare]

Great presentation man, no pressure or hard sell. A lot of the items basically sell themselves and some of the "nice to haves" can even be must haves depending on how much you value security and things. Thank you, great list!

[Rockhound]

Some things to consider on the good to have but not necessarily needed list are redundancies. I learned this lesson on the very first camping trip in our RV. I hooked everything up all hunky dory(waste hose, electric, cable TV) but when it came to hooking up the water, the water source was up by the front of the cab. I had a 15' water hose and I needed another 10 feet. Thankfully my father-in-law was able to run out his hose and all was right but now, I have an extra fresh water hose, extra waste hose, extra cable line, and extra electric service line as well. Also, water regulator and Y hook up too so you can hook up fresh water line as well as having an extra water hookup if needed.

Nice job. A very comprehensive list. Two things I would add since few RV's come with one is a lug wrench or breaker bar with socket that fits your tire lugs and a jack in case of a flat tire. A torque wrench to check the lug tightness wouldn't hurt either.

[rojjoh]

Thank you! I appreciate the straight forward advice without an agenda. I'll be sure to stop in and see you when I'm in the area.

Great video Ryan! Right to the point with out all the BS! Good stuff

New campers NEED to join a caravan of experienced travelers.
New campers NEED to observe and learn.
New campers NEED to be resilient.
And eventually, new campers NEED to be mentors to newer campers.

Those yellow tongue locks have only 12 different key cuts.
I highly recommend spending $100 minimum for your lock.
Also, have a gps tracker installed. Trailer theft is easy and rampant.

[randallsguaranteedsold]

Very comprehensive, that’s a heck of a store!

[seredin]

General shout out to the industry!!! Include the wheel chocks, sewer hose with "L" end (20'), water line (20') with pressure regulator, a pack of TP, and some tank additive (32oz) in the initial purchase for Christ's sake. Give them the option of driving straight to a campground from your lot.

Thanks Ryan...I am still in the learning phase...sometimes it almost seems like I am studying for a degree in RVing...lol You explained everything really well and I can see why buying any of the products you have detailed here, would make Rving a whole lot easier and far less worrying down the road. I do worry, when I begin this journey, if I will have enough knowledge about how things work and how to protect everything...I think your video sure made a lot of that learning a whole lot easier. I still have about a year, before I start and being an older single woman, I want to make sure I know exactly what I am doing and make sure I have as much knowledge as my poor brain can handle. You did a great job explaining all of these products...I don't know where you are located, but when I begin my journey, I'd love to have you helping me pick which products to buy...take care and thanks so much again!! I also subbed...loved this video...made things a lot easier to understand.😊

Put a camera on your back of the rv trailer! It takes about 2 weeks, but it is way worth it!

[gralarmguy]

The 30 amp to "110 volt" adapter is slightly misleading. The 30 amp is 110 volt, and so is the adapter. The adapter would be better explained as 15 amp or fitting a standard household duplex convenience receptacle.

Some Home Depot's have a bay for mobile home's & RV's. Usually on the heat and air aisle adjacent to plumbing aisle. Most of the YouTube top ten items for new campers are here cheaper than Amazon.

[zachv]

Great video. These dopes telling you to slow down clearly don't understand how to pause or rewind. It's a lot to take in and they should be pausing and taking this video in chunks anyway. Considering driving over a few states to deal with you guys directly. Thanks!

[JW-uusl]

Excellent video thank you. 26 thumbs down? Really?

[lambda]

Lot of good suggestions. I would pass, however, on the coatings to the inside and outside. If I wanted an extended warranty I would purchase it from the manufacturer not a third party.

[mikzta]

Seen most of these but a couple new ideas. Thanks!

[gerardogonzalez]

Dang you talk faster than me
Don't worry, I do understand you, doubt many other people will though

[ericpeck]

A surge protector would be wise if your RV has any sensitive electronics, not all do.
