ABOUT US

Welcome to Grand Adventure, a YouTube channel that focuses on RV-centric outdoor activities including not only of course camping, but also mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing and more, nearly always filmed in stunning 4K.

We're based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and invite you to come along as we travel all around the western U.S. My wife Patricia and I, and our dogs Zoe and Maggie are avid boondockers, so you'll seldom find us in RV parks or even dry campgrounds. Instead, we're usually camped in some of the most remote and beautiful spots that you could ever pull a travel trailer into. And unlike most other RV channels on YouTube, we're not RV dealers or full-timers -- we're weekend warriors just like you!

We'll provide tips and insight on equipping and maintaining your RV, trip planning and travel videos to make your next adventure a grand one indeed! So, subscribe to make sure that you catch every episode, and remember...life is nothing but a Grand Adventure!

Exactly what I was looking for thank you

[campingalan]

A fabulous solution to something that will end your stay at a boondocking site quickly! Thank you very much for sharing your technique!

Safe travels!!

I boughtt a fresh water system for my boat. Draw water from lake converts to drinking water. Use it on my rig too

[whoistheroach]

I usually empty my holding tanks into the water bladder, empty it at the dump, rinse it out real quick a time or two, then pump my fresh water into the bladder and head back to fill up my RV. That way I make it a multi-tasker bi-directional system. Works great!😄

[lauraweiss]

Watching your videos is giving me the knowledge I need to get out and try new places with my RV! Thank you!

[ernestoluzan]

So easy. I was overthinking it. I have an off road style pop up with 35 gallons + 6 gallons in the water heater that I wasn’t about to break down and drive off to refill for a extended weekend. We like to boondock and my wife and kids love a shower after day 2. This covers that want. Thanks !

[vinnykeenan]

That's a great idea. Better than lugging and storing Jerry cans. I have to watch this again to see where you found the water bag.
Thanks for the info.

Thank you my friend! Awesome information!

[MountainGirlwIPA]

Thanks for sharing. Love your videos. So helpful!

[rvingmontanezway]

Great Video man and awesome information thanks for sharing

[WanderlandTravelers]

Hey, nice shirt! 😀 Thanks for the water fill tip! We didn't know about those collapsible pillow tanks, they seems like a great option! Nice of the campground to let you fill for free. We can't wait to camp at Lone rock beach! 🏖️ I (Brad) grew up in St George and spent a lot of time there as a kid but haven't been there for many years

[larrymiller]

Great idea! I will get one. Merry Christmas to you, happy new year!

[cindyhaddock]

Thanks for the video! Always the best information! 😀

[opaandomascampingadventures]

Haven’t used it yet. Spending our last winter in Pa prepping for boondocking. Thanks for the tips how to do it!!

[TomSpurlock]

Nice tip Marc. FYI the link for the 45gal bladder is broke.

[IceLynne]

You should get a quick disconnect to go from your meter to the bag and you won't have to screw it on and off.

[opaandomascampingadventures]

Same pump and bladder I bought. Great minds think alike!! Btw- shouldn’t you open the vent on the bladder when your draining it too??

[retiredandrollin]

Another great informational video, thanks. I just can't get over that annoying ONE thumbs down in every video; it's hilarious.

[laughingram]

How did I miss this one???
What a great idea!

My wife says we don’t need this yet. 😞

[charleskleinhuizen]

What about keeping mold growth down on the bladder tank between uses?  Bleaching seems like a PITA.
