✋ Don't Waste Your Money on THESE!! ✋

While there are PLENTY of great RV accessories out there over the years I've heard a LOT of customers & owners comment on items they wish they had never purchased. Some of the items in this video may still provide some situational benefit to some owners but some are things I feel strongly you should avoid pretty much at all costs!

This is the great example for anyone in sales!!! Take note! I would go out of my way to buy from a guy like this! I'll pay extra for honesty and integrity any day! Kudos for having the croutons to say what needs to be said, not a sales pitch!

[hmebrpr]

This is the type of salesperson that all others should strive to be like!! Honest and still wants peoples opinions! 💯 GREAT JOB JOSH!

I know this is an older video, but I am a just retired ole lady who lost her husband and decided to purchase an RV that we had planned to get before he passed. So just bought one and will be doing long term camping for awhile. And your video has helped me a lot…. Thank you for all the information and I definitely subscribed. 👍💕

Small tip on X-Chocks. Your tires are usually warm from traveling meaning they are expanded so when you put these on tighten them an after a cool down period go back and tighten again because they most likely will be loose. Love your videos entertaining and helpful.

For the black tank ( and gray tank ) - Happy Camper and plenty of water is the way to go. One tub will last the average camping family at least two seasons, much better value than the drop ins! Also - Add a Valtera valve to the end of your dump pipe(s) to act as a backup in the event of a valve failure, use a clear section of pipe on the valve and then hook your hose to it, with a clear elbow going into the sewer hookup. This makes sure you can see if a clog occurs within the RV, and within the hose!

I’m picturing Uncle Josh “aggressively folding laundry”. I can’t unsee this. Help me.

[c.m.]

I personally find the portable apartment sized washing machines work the best. They are smaller, but could still wash sheets and thin blankets, a fraction of the price, and worked great! It spun the clothes nearly dry and I could shake them out, and hang them on the shower rod to finish drying. Missed it even more when I moved back into a house and found it cleaned clothes better than the full sized whirlpool.

Was a newbie who hasn’t left his driveway yet, these videos are SO appreciated!

[eandjbyrne]

We have been camping for 20 years and have used all different kinds of black tank treatment and this year we switched to “Happy Camper” and it’s the best! We also use Rhino Extreme for our sewer hoses.

Josh you Rock!!! Thanks for doing these videos! We still enjoy your videos even after we got our new camper last year!😊

[KR-zero]

I’ve said it before but it’s worth saying again, the information you provide Josh is invaluable. Thanks man.

I'm new to RVing and camping on a whole. I really appreciate these videos, Josh. Also, I really appreciate all the experienced campers sharing their wisdom in the comments! This is such good content I've literally started a notebook of tips and pointers! I'm loving this community!

As a full time RVer, here are my suggestions:

For laundry you could get a washer/spin dryer and then hang your clothes up to finish drying.

For butt napkins, you could use septic safe toilet paper but you can also just throw out your favorite toilet paper in a garbage can with a lid.

For breakable dishes, I have Corelle dishes, glass glasses and dishware. The only time I have ever broken anything is when I dropped it. I use rubber mats from the dollar store to stop the dishes from sliding in the cabinets when in movement.

For the stinky slinky, I have used the cheap ones for YEARS full time as I got them with the RV. They have worked just fine with zero issues. I don't use camp sites or RV parks so I just use them to dump once a week so it doesn't stay out in the sun.

For tank treatments, I personally get the regular packets but I have heard people really like the geo method as it works great and is a lot cheaper.

One item rarely discussed but I find most helpful- garden hose quick connects. Not expensive and really saves time & aggravation when connecting your water hose to the filter, pressure regulator, and hose bib. Just snap together and continue with setting up camp.

[rickdumont]

Beach balls under the slide topper helps with keeping water from pooling in heavy rain.

Rhino Flex and Happy Camper and Happy Camper, oh yeh, Happy Camper - best septic treatment we have ever used.

[DixieNormas]

Black tank: 1C dawn, 1C borax, 1 scoop happy camper and 5G water.
Gray tank: 1C dawn, 1C Zep, 1 scoop happy camper and 5G water.
So far I've had zero issues and since I bought a used camper the tanks are cleaner and the level sensors work better.

[BrittMFH]

I have so much respect and appreciation for Uncle Josh's opinion and advice on all RV-related items. 😻 Britt

Totally agree with you Josh: the Rhino Flex sewer hose system is top notch. We've added or upgraded many things in our travel trailer over the years. Each of these helped to improve our camping experience but two upgrades stand out. Replacing the mattress (and the foam in the seat cushions) had the biggest impact on our comfort and replacing the manual tongue jack for an electric one made setting up and leaving camp so much easier. In retrospect, I should add that replacing our weight distribution bar system with the Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch (coupled with the electric tongue jack) makes hitching and unhitching a breeze.

Something to buy: Order quality disposable gloves for sewer-ops that FIT you! I buy XLs and they go on/off easily wo ripping.
