Great list - I'd like to see something like this that is specifically target towards Adventure Trailer owners

[tuvia]

Love your channel, great list. You could add an extension cord and hose extensions in case the hookups are a little further away than normal. Also one of those aluminum, collapsible ladders can come in handy as well. Keep up the good work!

I asked the FM crew what our most necessary gear was. Craig gave the obligatory “the stinky slinky” ;) I would say that here in NC, with the relatively mild fall/winter weather we get, I love our electric ceramic heater. Stay warm, Save propane, have fun :) Peyton says nothing says adventure like Fairy lights :) I think this pretty much sums up our respective priorities!

I think it is also important to have a repair kit for any electrical problems that may come up.

Fire extinguisher is an absolute must have, I really like that you explained that they do indeed expire and need to be checked. Our old pop-up had a little extinguisher that fit in nice little storage pocket but this summer we had a rear caliper on the truck lock up and catch the brake pads on fire! I immediately ran for the extinguisher in the trailer only to discover that the powder had congealed in the bottom and it was useless!! Thankfully we had several full water bottles that I could pour on the fire but it was a terrifying having a fire under the truck with a full propane bottle on the front of the trailer! After getting the brakes replaced I went out and got new extinguishers for the trailer as well as the truck!!!

I think an essential (at least safety item) piece of equipment is a Rear View Camera mounted on the upper rear body of your camper/trailer. It's not a backup camera. Rather the rear view camera remains ON all the time when you're hooked up, traveling. That feature lets you know what & who's all around you at all times. Is someone tailgating you? Is someone trying to pass you in an unsafe situation? You will know that as you monitor that screen, usually resting up on the dash. My Airstream came with it already, but since these items are not really expensive, it pays to have one installed to help you be less tense when driving as well as backing up into a camping site.

Perfect. Just sent a request to join the FB group, taking notes of how to set up the campsite and what toys i need to get started.

[josecarmichael]

Great ideas we are picking up our first Travel Trailer next week been looking at slot of videos

I plan on getting an rv in the near future, and your channel has been so helpful

I'm a little behind watching your videos, but I found something that needs to be addressed here. You show the Progressive Industries Surge Protector and then go on to describe the operation of the Progressive Industries Electrical Management System. A surge protector only protects you from that surge of current/voltage that will damage the electrical system and equipment in the RV. It will NOT protect you from an undervoltage condition you described. The PI surge supressor will check the power coming from the pedestal for open neutral or ground as well as a crossed hot and neutral. After that it stands by to clamp down on the surge or sacrifice itself in the event of a large surge.

I chose to spend the additional $$ to pick up the EMS that will test the pedestal before applying power to the RV. It then monitors the line and drops power in the event of overvoltage or undervoltage events. Power is returned when or if that condition is corrected. PI also incorporates double the surge protection value so it won't die as fast as their SSP.


I got my EMS at the same time as I got the water pressure regulator, for exactly the same reason. You can't guarantee that whatever the park is supplying is always safe for RV use

[michaelsmyth]

Thank you Mike for the great information..my wife and I are just a year and a half away for our RV...

[David-jogt]

Great video. I would like to know more about your water filters on your outside hose. Looks like a great set up.

[rorycalhoun]

Always great ideas from you two... thanks again!!

[grandpavan]

I'm a soon-to-be newbie, but I'm very particular about my car windshield and wipers, so I'm going to suggest having a squeegee and sponge thing like you see at gas stations, and a set of spare wipers. OH! Better have a step-stool so you can reach! There's nothing I hate worse than glare in the windshield. It's dangerous and nerve wracking! Keep it CLEAN for comfort and safety.

I like the Duraflame started. They come in a box. Makes starti a fire easier

[ginainspades]

I use the duraflame logs too 💚 I think a tpms is essential and should be required on all vehicles 😊

[marvinaviles]

New subscriber here. These are great tips. Thank you. Hopefully my wife an I can get an RV soon.
