I'm a single female and have just purchased my first trailer that I'm planning on living in full time with my dog. Thanks for all the lessons and tips, mom and dad!

[Analaurat]

Do i have an RV? no. but did i watch the whole video? yes. 😅😊

[mr.stickyfingers]

Man, this was the best informative tutorial I’ve ever seen regarding camping for first timers. Thank you!

[amanderloo]

This was so so helpful! I’ve camped on and off in tents and campers my whole life but now as a single mom, I bought my first camper on my own and I’m rage watching as many videos as I can find. I hope they can help me prepare for setting up and taking down my campsite when my kids and I go camping. Thank you SO much for this in-depth and very informative video! Happy camping!

You had me at "purge it"! Great, logical tips in a straight-forward way. As a newbie, I appreciate it! Subscribing.

I'm just about 53 (7/20), just bought my first camper and going straight into full-time living in it. Scared but excited (going through a divorce). Never lived alone before either. Wish i could experience this with my furbabies (lost them last year). Praying i can do this...thankfully the owner and the maintenance man at the rv park are so understanding and helpful. They both said they're there to help me along in my journey! But I'm still watching everyone videos and learning so much!

Outstanding video. We are picking up our first camper next week and I have to admit I've been pretty nervous about the setup and breakdown. Your video has given me the confidence I needed to tackle the process and get to enjoying camping! Thanks so much!

[TheVirginiaStew]

Great Video, especially the hitch and sway bars section. Thanks so much.

[Lixx-n-Laffs]

Excellent video! Good insight for things that we need to get. I really like those leveling blocks, instead of using 2x8 wood blocks…thank you.
One thing I would add is to check tire pressure before leaving and getting a portable, rechargeable air compressor to be on the safe side.

Just bought a camper today and looking forward to breaking it in next month. Your video is the best one I’ve seen (I’ve seen a lot!). Thank you for taking the time to share helpful information. Stay safe and happy camping!

Have been rv’ing for several years and watching videos for about 5 or 6 years. Just happened across you today and a really good find. Not only did you both do a great job of the basics, your presentation editing sound and video quality top notch. I am saving the link to this for sharing with others when they ask for what to do. Subscribed and thank you

Thank you for such good details. I'm thinking about getting a "baby" trailer and have no idea how to even begin. I'll have to watch this video a dozen times to make sure I don't miss any items. The black tank is what is one of my fears and the most is hitching it up. I'll have to buy a bigger SUV. God should it break away from the truck.. I'm a 67 year old, woman, single and have never ever done anything like this. I've retired and thought it's time to get on the road and see some of our beautiful sites.

I just purchased a trailer and I must say I watched tons of videos. Mine is older 1996 but it’s similar to every other camper. I must say your video is the best one explaining what to do and what not to do. I like you speaking slow and actually really showing well what you’re doing. Thank you, I subscribed and liked the video. I also have a channel and will try to post some videos from my travels! Happy camping 🏕️

[KiltedVeteran]

Man, this is a great video for first time RVers. Very informative and easy to understand. I appreciate y'all for making this vid.

[davidbayouth]

Excellent video for newbies and also experienced campers!

[nmsauditora]

Great video. I always pull my gray water first and let it run long enough to ensure there are no leaks in the hose. Then close the gray valve and proceed exactly as you did.

[darlenemckay]

I hope to be a new RV owner soon. You guys have great info. Will definitely keep this video in my saved videos. Thank you!

[davidoelker]

Very good video. Dealerships should use this video for educating new owners.

[scotthays]

Thanks for this video! We just bought our first camper and are excited to get out there.

[apostleemilcedeno]

Outstanding Video! Brought our trailer just before the pandemic. We are now preparing to use it (two years later). Thank you for the instruction, I'll be watching it several times.
