RV must have items

[Oh Mah]

  endless.

For summer camping (with hook ups) my wife bought misters....not what I want under the awning but nice to have when it is 108 on the eastside of the mountains. Yes it can be a lot of money when things happen, but so are boats, vacation trips and anytime you venture out. Enjoy it...even when the crapper hose blows out, you need to remember to have fun and laugh. Issues are temporary, but being out there...wherever it is, is priceless, especially with family.

Awesome keep them coming. I'm making a list!

I have it stored in my garage so that's a huge plus compared to outside.

The thing is like new and my grandparents barely used it so they couldnt answer to many of my questions. They have a giant live in type motor home and bought this small class B as well but never really used it much besides trips to like the bigger cities. I have been watching videos and reading manuals and learning. I am not new to a rv per say as I have had a camp trailer before. However this is my first motor home. This thing is about as fancy as they get. To many bells and whistles for this simple redneck lol.

My aunt and "uncle" borrowed it and took a trip with it and somehow could not figure out how to dump it after using it and brought it back with 2/3 full black and grey tank and never told my grandparents. Lame I know and it sat for months like that.  So I read all the manuals and figure out how to use this turd blender system this fancy sucker has on it. Only to figure out they used wipes and regular tp in it "not smart people" and have it jammed up. So my first chore was using the emergency empty to get it all cleaned out and they had opened the valves and let all that nasty charge up the line. PUKE fun stuff to have to deal with first thing you deal with lol. So going to have to take it in and see if they can un clog this macerator thing or replace it. I tried back flushing it to get it to kick free but it wont work. So got the emergency dump system working and got a house fitting and old school dump line coming for that.

Handy little items for the fridge, those round, spring loaded extendable curtain rods that extend between 18 - 24" or so. Put them in front of the milk cartons or whatever so things stay put and don't come jumping out at ya when you open the fridge door.

We grew up with strict rules, no going No. 2 inside. Period, end of story!
My Dad believed if we were on hookup, that means there is a public restroom close by. If not on hookup, grab a shovel and move 100 feet away from the RV

Also when not on hookup, Dig a whole a couple feet deep, and run your grey water through an extended hose into to the hole.

Those little bungies with the ball on one end are great for securing cabinets doors.

Oh that is great I use to have that happen all the time in my camp trailer.

Oh yeah it wont be used to much by me I like the great outdoors. When it goes hunting it will probably not be used at all but with the little kiddos and ladies on trips and such will be about the only use. I hate using public restrooms and only do around big cities so I dont get a ticket for flashing to much skin if you get my drift lol.

Do you just leave the valve on the grey open to the hose so it can free poor down the line?

[Oh Mah]

when draining the tanks i always leave the grey for last,helps to clean out the hose after the black tank has drained.

. I use the really small bungies with hooks on both ends.  Run them between the shelves as needed.  Through the milk jug handle from shelf to shelf, etc.

I have to confess and give credit where credit is due. I got that idea from when I was tow boating in Alaska. The cook used those tension rods in the fridge on the tug. Really came in handy. Been using them since my first camper and now the travel trailer. Thanks Peg!

Use a good wax on the whole RV. Especially the front. Before trip spray Armor All over the waxed front which makes cleanning bugs off easier.
Curious if anyone has a different way?
