Cruise America 25 foot RV full walkthrough and review for first timers 

Props for admitting right up front that you don’t know something and then diving in to learn it. Every dad should show his kids that he doesn’t know everything but he’s willing to learn and not be afraid to “look dumb”.

The beginning walkthrough was extremely helpful. Watched couple rental rv videos recently get ideas of cost. The walkthrough showing and telling how everything worked was great . Watched tons of rv walkthroughs. Still felt a little clueless. But now easy to understand.

Super helpful information! Thank you for sharing. I feel much more prepared to rent an RV now after watching this.

I really loved your video, you gave me a lot more information than Cruise America

Thanks for sharing your walk-through of this rental process. Even experienced RV renters want to know this information for this specific rental.

Great job. So good to see people using his as a way to vacation with the whole family.

I pretty much went ahead and enjoyed your video, pretty much, and I am pretty much gonna go ahead and watch some more. Pretty much.

I am an experienced RV'ER.I loved your video and helpful hints. Your video is very helpful for newbies! 2 things yes gas is expensive but your family is together sharing the experiences and better to clean and sanitize once than many hotel rooms!! And airfares would be more. I am happy your family experienced this. For future RV trips - a pro tip never cross your fresh water hose with the sewer hose. Keep the fresh hose far as possible away from sewer. Thank you for the video!

AWE LOL LOOK HOW EXCITED THE LITTLE ONE IS …SO CUTE .

this is the best video I have watched. thank you again

Great to have a report by and for newbies.

I've rented 3 times from Cruise America, what he said about the generator is the case. Say you want to heat something quickly in the microwave, you need to use it for an hour to be charged, the Hobbs meter needs to turn over to be charged. Also, the cab air conditioner will cool the whole rig if you run at idle so you can actually do without the generator, at least for a while. My rental was pre-pandemic, your video makes me want to do it again!

Perfect video! Very informational we just booked the same rv for a summer road trip from California to Disney world will of course lots of stops in between. We are first time RVers and this video helped tremendously!

Fair play for the video. Super informative. Planning on visiting America next year & hiring an RV for part of the trip.

Great video! We’re picking up our rv this tuesday. Its also our first time. First time RV and first time in the USA. Thanks to your video I know everything ain’t so difficult. So thanks!!

Well said and placed, I hope someday I would be able to go rv and get the hell out this crazy ass city of Philadelphia,

This was helpful. We're renting one in a month to go on a camping trip, first time with our 2 year old daughter. I camped in rv's growing up with my grandparents, but this is the first time I'll be taking my own family out to do it.

Just a tip for short people take a stepper it is difficult to climb into the bed, we put our memory foam on top of their matress for comfort and it’s difficult to use the toilet on their 2014. It is extremely high up and uncomfortable….lol other than that have fun 🤩

From my experience once you start the generator allow it to run for a minute or two before putting a load on it, such as turning on the AC or Microwave. The initial surge in power, required to start the AC or Microwave, can put undue strain on the generator unless it is running at full capacity. Also, the generator circuit breaker can trip if the generator does not meet that initial surge in power requirement.

Our family's first RV trip is 2 weeks out. 13 days with the wife, three young boys and a Miniature Schnauzer. Went with the 25 foot model so this video was super helpful. Agree that rent before buy is a good way to go.

Kudos on your presentation. We've been full-time RVers for years.

Awesome…thank you for this overview .

ps, don't feel stupid. We've all been there. Ask for help. RVers will always help you.

Great video. Loved that you shared the prep part which a lot of people don’t share. It may be a lot, but it is worth it.

Very helpful thank you

Thank you so much for this video. I am new to RVing by myself, so this was really helpful. Can’t wait to watch more videos from you guys, enjoy your travels and stay safe!👍

Thank you for the very informative video. I'm picking up my compact RV on April 16th. I'm looking forward to the new adventures in the RV.

Thanks for this I’ve planned my first rv trip for October. Going solo to a national forest about 5 hours away from home. Been binge watching videos and tutorials from the cruise America website but it’s always good to hear it from various sources, helps it sink in more. I’m a little nervous but more excited. I’ve done a lot of things solo i think i can handle it. Getting their smallest compact class c.

Thanks for the video. My wife and I are planning to rent our first RV soon to see if we really want to buy one. Videos like this make it a little less scary!

Trip coming in 3 days ....not so nervous now...glad I stumbled across your channel!!

Great vid bro! Thanks for sharing, very helpful!

Thank you! This video took away some nervousness I had about renting one. Just not fully understanding how everything works and so forth. Will be renting one in a few months for the first time. Much appreciated! 💪🏾

Nice video! One thing that you have to be aware of, in addition, is the carrying capacity of your vehicle. A 25ft class C on a Ford E-350 chassis has a rather limited carrying capacity and people need to take care not to surpass that capacity. The carrying capacity specific to the vehicle will be listed on a large yellow sticker, usually located inside the passenger door frame. When figuring out your own carrying capacity in a motorized vehicle you have to add the weight of all occupants, pets, belongings, food, etc, PLUS the weight of any water in the fresh water tank. The water is a huge load if the tank is full---water weighs about 8.3 pounds per gallon so a full 40-gallon tank will add over 300 pounds to the weight of your unit. I would estimate that the vehicle in the video has about an 1100 lb carrying capacity, depending on how it is equipped. Also---if your propane fridge is up to temp and loaded it will keep its temp for at least a few hours on the road, especially if you had flat ice packs to the freezer. On some roads, tunnels, and bridges you are not allowed to have any propane on while driving. We never rode with the propane on, too much of a fire hazard.

I always wondered how you hook everything up, now I know thanks to you!

I am getting ready to do this for 11 days and the video was sooooo helpful, thank you

I am edging closer and closer to take the dive!! I am a hotel man, but this is on my bucket list.

Thanks a bunch!! It's intimidating and read some bad reviews on Cruise America site. But gonna try for first time.

Love the wood panel interior. I once renovated an old trailer - yep, it's hard work. There was a humming sound the whole video so I hope your electrics were OK. Can't wait for an update on this and your travels! 🦄 😽 🌼

This was a great segment. great review. i pick up an RV tomorrow to use for 4 days so it was a good primer.

Thank you for taking the time, mate, I really appreciate it. We're coming from the UK to Vegas in May and doing the canyon. Your vid is really helpful. 👍👍👏👏

Wonderful video, thank you for sharing. Really appreciate you showing the employee explaining things and very smart of you to record because then you could rewatch!! I know I always forget things so I will be doing this going forward! Also I just filled up my Volvo suv for $97 today, in California. The gas prices are killing me. But, the trips make it worth it. Happy trails!

Oh thank you so much!!!!! I will be a first timer as well and some of my questions I had in mind you answered. Bless you and your family.

We took it to Wisconsin, and I got back from Wisconsin

Hahaha. Been there, done that. Watch the "Long Trailer" with Lucy and Desi. .And, the "RV" with Robin Willams. It shows he fun of RVing. Enjoy and have fun.

love this and great job explaining.

Awesome video thanks for sharing 📸👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Man I’m late!!😅 We’re getting ready for our trip! Good informative video brotherman 👍

this video is very helpful for first timers thank you!

Thanks! Was very informative! It’s very intimidating the first time but this video helped…🙏🏼

Well done. So informative!

Also, not a good idea to drink water from the faucets (even if hooked up to a water source) because of bacteria, or waterborne toxins. Bring bottled water for humans and pets👍😊

Appreciate the info. God speed to you and your family.

Great video. Thank you for sharing your experience. Thinking about doing the same thing myself.

Im praying that the salesman has watched this and has found a different word. Great video

Good video I never did use a R V either thanks for the info

Appreciate the good information! Maybe one day I’ll rent or own one of these!?

I needed this video thankyou!! I'm looking at buying this model from them, very informative and useful content

Thank you for the excellent overview for guys like me.

Thank you this does help me and wife we doing it in Sept 21 -25th 2021 in Michigan

Thanks so much for putting this together. It is appreciated

I’m glad to see your video so I know what to expect when I rent a Cruise America rig…. I didn’t know how a campground’s hookups work, now I do! I’d like to rent a CA rig for a week to see what it’s like to live in a RV. The rig you have is nice, but I like the next model up, which has a big walk around bed in the back and a split bathroom (shower on one side, toilet and sink on the other)…. More like a studio apartment on wheels…. Anyways, great video and very informative too. Hope you and your family had a great trip.

Great video, so to run the refrigerator when you are driving do you just leave the propane on. Then from what the guy said the refrigerator automatically switches to electric power when you connect it at the rv sight. I'm going from Colorado back to vegas

Thanks! Showing this to my husband.

Thanks a lot for this very useful video 😃

Thanks bro it helps a lot men thanks

Rent before U buy. Smart. What was your RV Rental cost??

Excellent video, thanks! I am a1st timer so this helps me a lot. I'm renting this RV and driving to Ohio from Colorado Springs so I'm wondering what the gas mileage is like. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing, great video and great explanation!

Great video, very informative thank you

Wish it had a house style toilet with bidet attachment

Outstanding, very good review.

I may have to buy my own generator, cause I like the idea of dry camping when I want

Great information!! Thank you!!

Very helpful - thank you!

I was curious, I heard the man explain you get charged $3.00 for running the generator. Was that $3.00 every hour ? Great video. Thanks

Thank you so much for your video !!

I really enjoyed this video. It is a good thing you recorded, so much to remember. Do you have a IG page?

Very helpful video! I wonder why Cruise America didn’t give you a surge protector for electric and water pressure gauge for water hookup?

thanks for this very useful video! I'm coming over from Europe next week to rent an RV like this and I can't wait. One question though: how do you top up propane and oil? May be a dumb question but I honestly have no clue.

"Pretty much."

Good video. You are right Biden gas prices are high. ‘Sounds like you are a good dad.

Great video!

thanks man!

Great video did you all pay for a week or by mileage. Also how did you find a gas station so you could fill in your water

Great video. A few questions... 1. Do you have to have the generator on to have air while you are driving? Are there outlets that work without the generator while driving? Great video otherwise. Thank you.

Helped me a lot! How did you choose where to park it?

thanks for the video

Did you enjoy your RV experience enough to want to own one?

Always remove the gray/dark water hoses and inspect them. Too many horror stories.

You can go ahead and go ahead with the RV. If you want to go ahead and go ahead with going ahead then we can go ahead.

Ur wife = me with the Lysol! Yes!!

new sub here!!!

When renting an RV why is there a charge to use the generator?

if you know what your doing on the gen you cane unplug the our meter

👍👍👍👍

Hello, we are coming from the UK to LA in October. We are then driving c25 rv from LA to portland. We are wondering about gas? We've googled it but can't make sense of it, if you can offer any help or idea please? Katie 😊

2 questions. Does the aircon run in the living area while you’re driving? If not how does that work? Also, when you pull into the full hook up site at the rv park, do you hook the water, electricity and sewer up and leave them hooked up? Or do you just empty the sewer and pack it up again?

Do you think he says the word “pretty much “enough times?

you wonder if there BBB rating Thay have

Pretty much.
