If you use a water regulator at the hose spigot it will stop the drips(too much pressure on hose). But be sure to disinfect the hose spigot with a Bleach disinfecting spray before you connect any fitting on the hose spigot. Don't forget the inside and on the threads. I've sat in my site and watched people stick their sewer hose up over it, kids mouth it, dogs lick it and people wash their dishes and hair while making direct contact with the faucet spigot.I use a spray bottle with 25% bleach to spray it down and let it make contact for a few min before hooking up.

Sean & kristy, really enjoy your videos and the humor you folks put into them. I have been rv'ng since 1970. After we tear down and packup the rig. Before i even make a move to get into the truck i always make a complete walkaround the trailer and look at it from top to bottom for anything we may have forgotten like antenna up etc. I look under the trailer also. It only takes a few seconds to do a walkaround and i do it so i windup at the drivers door. That way i know i'am ready to travel. I developed this as a habit from my days (21 years) in the Air Force as a flight engineer. I would always make a complete walkaround on the aircraft especially in vietnam. Thats the last place you want to miss something. Keep up the great videos as I look forward to each installment. Hope to meet you someday on the rv road. Niles Michigan.

This video is what most of us who tune in to these vlogs need. I've noticed so many have unfortunately shifted from the purpose of informing new/postulating rv-ers. Watch us mountain bike. Watch us kayak. Watch us build our house, or eat in a restaurant. RV lifestyle videos should focus on the intricacies of the lifestyle and not much else. How to hook up. Tire care. Towing discussions. Use of solar, generators, kitchen appliances like propane/electric fridge. I ride a trail bike. I fish out of my kayak. I know how to eat at restaurants. I would like to get into rv camping and that is what I want to see and learn. Thank you for an informative video.

I just went from "no clue" to semi-professional" in 20 minutes, THANK YOU!!

Remember that there are 6 sides to the camper when backing in don't overlook the underside (drag) and the top side. (Low branch)

our first camp site we watched other people set up. And laughed 2 years later we were doing the same things. Very well worth the money is a good astro turf in front of the door. Keeps the stuff out of the RV.

If you guys are reading these as I hope, I want you to know what a pleasure it has been for me, a retired 61 yr old fart. My wife is looking at retirement in 4 yrs and that’s when I hope we get to take her all over as I have already seen and lived in most of the USA. I was trying to say that you too have put out some of the BEST videos I’ve had the pleasure of seeing.i watch a lot of utube nowadays because of a heart attach that has slowed me down a bunch.ive camped for years when raising two boys now I look forward to doing it again just in a little more style this time,,,lol. I do wonder if we would be happier in a class A motor home or another trailer as we have had one of those with the kids. Again many thanks for such a well done series of camping videos.

I keep my black water hose, extensions and connections in a rubbermaid bin along with some bleach wipes, hand sanitizer and a plastic bottle of water (to immediately clean hands and arm should any black water get on them. Not that that has happened to me). Clean the bin routinely.

One thing that has been very helpful for setting up and stabilizing our trailer is to carry (7) 8" x 8" cedar blocks cut about 12-14" long. I use 2 under the stabilizers furthest from the ground, 1 ea under the other stabilizers and the last on under the hitch. These are very stable so when stacked on each other and you won't have to extend the jacks so far. Cedar does not absorb moister and they are light weight. Also keeps your jacks out of mud etc and provides a very stable base for you trailer.

The first thing I do when I get to my campsite is check the power at the power pedestal. I use a tester made by Prime Products to check for polarity, voltage, open ground and open neutral. If anything isn't right, I ask for another site before spending any time to park the trailer on the site.

I just bought a small camper trailer and honestly have lost sleep worrying about setting it up. I am taking it out for the first time in two weeks to the Big Bend area of Texas. I witnessed the dealer give me a demonstration and could not remember a damn word of what they said the next day. So I began hunting for RU-vid videos and came across yours--informative, relaxed, fun. Thank you so much for instilling some confidence in me!!

We just had some children. They do all the work now. They have it all set up by the time I'm out of the bathroom. I highly recommend having some.

I like to use leveling blocks under my stabilizer Jacks and the tongue jack so they don't sink in . love your videos and all the information they provide .

I've been a subscriber for a long time now... even before we purchased our Airstream and the best tip you've ever given was the walkie talkie tip and communicating Left from right ie driver side passenger side. That really stuck with us and we use that tip every time we hitch and un-hitch. Best tip for staying together too. A REAL marriage saver! I wrote a short novel LOL... Stop here and look for that amazing video. Or read on for our example: Being newbies we didn't quite understand the importance of "never pulling into a campsite in the dark." Even a nice RV park. So off we go taking our time and we arrive at the KOA in Flagstaff Arizona PITCH DARK. If you've ever been to that campground you know where I am going with this story. Rocks, trees, tight turns and narrow road. oh did I mention the giant TeePee right behind the place they want us to park? Yeah... so armed with a site number and a map, we proceed to park for the night. Ahhhhhhhh ok we can do this. We pull up and already have drawn a small crowd, thinking they are looking at our awesome Airstream I grab the walkies from the side compartment and turn them on. I step out and check out the site we need to back into. (Just like you guys taught us) Oh Jeeze... huge boulders to stay away from, large trees line the site, the power is on one side and the sewer hook up on the other. Then the tree on the side... possibly right where our door should be... Did I mention the TeePee? So I start with my directions using ALL your amazing tips we had practiced in our driveway but not actually tried yet, hubby put it in reverse and started backing up. Me quietly encouraging him on the walkie talkie. Telling him to turn the wheel to the passenger side... ok slower... slightly to the Driver side... Straighten the wheel... a little farther... (A larger crowd formed... what the heck?) I did all the things you suggested, looking up at the trees and with my flashlight looking down on the ground... Did I mention the TeePee? ok.. great job... I check to see if we could open the door... Looking good Hon.. I think you got this... As I walk backwards almost to the Giant TeePee. "Perfect! Put it in park babe" Our bumper literally only 12 inches from the teepee. We even had to unhook from the truck and squeeze in off the street. When we turned off the engine there was actually an applause from our neighboring campers... I grinned... so proud of Hubby. Even tho it was a little embarrassing... Keep in mind it was pitch dark. The next morning I made coffee and we stepped outside.. Hubby almost fainted when he saw how tight the site was. He said he would have been so nervous to back into that spot had he known he was parking into a spot the size of a postage stamp! LOL Rocks and trees just inches from the delicate aluminum skin of the Airstream. And the giant TeePee! He said where did that come from? LOL Moral of the story? Listen to the advice of seasoned travelers. Thanks again you two! Happy Trails.

Watching people set up a trailer has made me very happy with my decision to have gotten a cabover truck bed camper. It feels like quite a few less steps.

Great video but my heart is broken because I just lost my 28fter after 20 wonderful years 😢 but I can't stop watching you two ! Love you guys❤️ Somehow I'm gonna get a new RV & until then I'll just watch you ! Keep on camping and have an adult beverage for me ! 😊

we are re-living our memories of rv life thru your channel. the campsite setup video reminded us of having to shower after the "workout" ! (florida in summer) one more tip to add to the setup routine. .. take the time to apply insect repellent to yourselves BEFORE starting. Lessons learned. M & M

Thanks for the tips. There needs to be a laugh button. I chuckled at some of the comments. Also thanks to those who also pointed out helpful hints. No matter how long a person has been doing this stuff, you always learn something new.

Great video. I'll add a 90 degree adapter where the hose connects to the RV. Take the stress off that plastic connection. A carpenter level isn't that big and it helps to make sure you are in the same zip code with level. And yes it does get faster with experience. I can park, hook up and open a beer in about 5 minutes now, in the dark.

For those of us with slide-outs, NUMBER ONE is make sure they miss the trees! Lol Real pain to get all setup, then realize a tree is too close! S#%#!

You should try the Anderson levelers. They save a lot of time.

Great tips! And I love your video description explaining the Affiliate Links :) People don't realize how much time and energy you put into editing and posting the videos. Thank you, and keep up the great work!

Great video. Been an RVer for 45 years. Always something to learn. Don't forget to keep your fridge level or it can burn out. I put label maker stickers on my slides, about 3/4" square, with the distance the slide will come out and just walk around with my measuring tape. I find it more convenient than using a premeasured stick as I have four slides with different extensions.

As a Newbie camper I really appreciate all of the tips you offer.

You should always install the pressure regulator at the source faucet to reduce the pressure and "Leaks" on your hose and fittings.

Total Newbie to Trailer towing and setting up! Thank you so much for all your fabulous advice, tips, hints!

We bought our first RV in the fall and haven't even picked it up from the dealership yet. Neither of us have ever camped before ... WE KNOW NOTHING!! Senior moment surely! Thank you for your helpful videos.

Being overly cautious when my wife and I first started camping with a trailer, we assigned primary and secondary roles for setup and tear down. Each of us would double check each other’s work with a walk around. There have been several occasions where this double check saved our behinds. Whether forgetting to fold in the stairs, make sure the doors are locked to even forgetting to latch the hitch! Mine was hooking up and being in a rush forgetting to retreat the jack! Luckily her walk around caught it!

Thank you. I love all the "newbie" videos. I think it would be a great idea if you made a video talking about batteries, volts, amps etc.. My husband and I think that you are such a fun couple and we hope that we could run into you on the road someday and buy you a beer.

My first campground error: arrived at dusk, plugged in. But had no power evening and night. Discovered the post had an On button!

Just completed our first year with a trailer and my list of newbie learnings to avoid frustration are: 1. Plan plenty of time to leave the house. It amazed and frustrated me how long it took to get on the road at first. 2. Leave early enough to not arrive at the campsite when it is dark. It takes a while to set up on dirt lots, add darkness and you have a recipe for newbie disaster. So try to plan on getting there early enough to set up in light. 3. Bring a snack for before you set up the campsite. Don't bank on making dinner right when you arrive. Hungry people get angry more easily. 4. Watch all the videos you can to learn about safety and trailer tips. The ones Sean and Christy have put together helped greatly.

Thanks for all the great tips, I am a noob to the RV camping world, for almost two years, grew up tent camping, my wife and I got a 21 ft Coleman almost two years ago and luckily from the lessons of others, we have saved a lot of grief and headaches others have had, from all the great tips you and others have given. See you all down the highways, for the Hams out there 73's.

very professional video and helpful tips

We just recently got a new Airstream! On our FIRST trip out we quietly backed into what look like a nice little hedge surrounded by soft green leaves. We continued to pull forward and reposition the trailer for a better view . While my husband thought everything is dandy , I felt my heart sinking like I was in the twilight zone or something ! There before me was a huge dint in our new trailer! So to say the least , our maiden voyage was big disappointment! She is all fixed now but will never assume there isn't something to run into while inching along.

We're newbies, and dumb as a box of rocks. Your numerous and humorous videos are greatly appreciated! Just purchased an used Class B motorhome and will be taking it out for the 1st time this weekend. This Camp Set-up Video will come in handy. Wish us luck! -DJ /Petaluma, CA

We just got back from our first weekend with our new camper. You're hitting all the issues we dealt with, including, hoping "it gets better with practice".

I was near San Diego and it was a great day. I put up my screen shelter to cover the picnic table and did not put the corner stakes in the ground we left and of course a storm blew in when we came back my whole unit was 5 campgrounds down the road

Hi guys. Love your channel. The hose washer is the primary water hose seal, so make sure you have a good one or two in the female end. It's a ten cents thing. The threads are are not a seal.

We use plumbers tape on the water connections to eliminate drips. We also use the pressure regulator and an elbo joint on the Airstream so the hose hangs strait down. We always supervise each others work. I do outside and she inspects. She prepares inside and I inspect. We also carry a Flush King in a plastic box that can clear any black tank clogs. Some honey wagon services do not rinse the black tank and the result is clogged pipe. Pull the black tank valve open and nothing comes out YIKES! Flush King pushes water UP from the sewer connection to clear the clog. Thanks for another very informative and entertaining video!

It's funny watching you guys talk about setting up. I remember when I started RV'ing you guys where the first videos I watched. I learned a lot and I want to thank you for all the effort you put into your videos. Again thanks.

I would recommend that you don't disconnect the last safety chain until after yo raise the trailer up off the ball just in case the unthinkable happens. Sometimes you have no choice but to setup on a less than perfect grade. Even worse is a slope towards the to vehicle.

When we would go camping in my moms trailer. We use to use Velcro straps around the awning arms after they r close before u head out. We had one where the awning didn't catch all the way. After that we got the straps and never had that problem again. It only takes a extra minute to have peace of mind.

My goal is a fifteen minute set-up, but have done it in 10 in a rainstorm. My wife is disabled, so it is a one man show. I find positioning is the most important, much more difficult doing it alone. I try to park where I think best, with a little room to add the wheel jacks. Once n postion, it is a flurry of events, but hopefully 15 minutes later we are jacked and comfortable. Love your videos, keep them coming.

Thank you so much for a very nice, informative video. My wife and I have learned so much from you two. This is a great video to review for people who are seasonal RVers and might forget all the info frequent RVers possess. We bought our generator based on your review and really appreciate all the time and effort the two of you spend sharing your RV wisdom with others. Thanks so much ..... we've been subscribers for over a year and a half.

In an unheated 81 mm mortar track in the middle of a cold German winter I slept on the cold steel floor in my sleeping bag. We were on maneuvers 2 weeks from our last shower, tired and sick, and the driver parked on a hill for the night. Now you would think that in a frozen world sleeping on a cold steel surface that the floor being on an incline wouldn't bother, but it did. First it was a fairly serious hill, the track had a mortar in the middle of the floor, and contorting into position around it was hard enough without changing head to feet during the night so the blood could flow back to the other end for a while. I agree, it matters. :)

First time owner of travel trailer. All of your videos have been great. I have also bought a lot of stuff to make camping easier based on your recommendation

After 20 years with a small pop up w/o any hookups, we're picking up our 25 fb Airstream Friday for our first ever full hook up experience. Your timing with this video is perfect. Thank you for the great primer...

To answer your question on keeping the hose from dripping. I grew up with my father being a master plumber. Use white Teflon plumbers tape, you can find in any plumbing supply, or Walmart.Wrap it around the threads a few times, and then screw on the hose. You can use it on almost any threads to stop leaks. Take it off when you're done and dispose of it. You can stop your leaks for just a few bucks.

Pre-newbies (soon to be first time owners) from central Illinois. Thanks for all the great info. You've got our sub. _ Dave & Sandy.

You two are amazing!! Thanks for all you do!! 😘

Purchased our Airstream last year after being tent campers for ever. I wish I had seen this sooner, specifically, your discussion on how to open the tongue latch (forward and up). I've owned and used a lot of utility trailers, but have never seen this type of latch before our AS. When I got our rig home, I spent 2 hours trying to lift the latch straight up (without pushing it forward a bit first). Web searches disclosed almost no information. I actually pulled the pin on the hitch shank to move my truck and continued to work on the rig with ball/shank still connected. TY for your series, it is fun to watch.

Just bought a Lance 1475 - first trailer! Gathering up tips before our maiden voyage - thank you so much! You gave a great start - Happy Camping!

As far as awnings go you should mention that angling your awning for water runoff keeps water from pooling in your awning.

Thanks love your video,we are newb's remodeling a 1991 31 ft Holiday Rambler Aluma Lite currently,can't wait to finish and get on the road and enjoy our retirement traveling this great country.

Have seen most of the videos on RU-vid. Really appreciate the advice am semi-retired and just purchased my first (used) travel trailer. Gonna' take it out Friday for the first time.

I would use that water pressure regulator at the spigot which might help your hoses last longer and leak less. The built-in regulator protects your RV but perhaps there have been times that your hoses were over-pressurized and led them to leaking at some point later on. Otherwise, I quit buying the cheap-o hoses from the big box camping stores and started to buy the somewhat pricier options and they've been much better for me. I have a heated hose and that one is rock solid but kind of a pain to deal with so although I could use it in the summer too I don't like to do so.

Thanks again for more information. We will be camping in our RV for the first time in a couple of weeks.

thanks for the newbie tips. 1500 mile trip to Florida for month of February with our "new to us" 5th wheel was great. looking forward to seeing much more of Canada and United States in the months and years ahead.

This video reinforces that you can with practice master all of these tasks. I'm impressed to learn that a set up can be accomplished in ten minutes. Quite a relief for who wants to do a lot of chores after a long highway drive.

I have a leveling ball on the front of my trailer that I can see in the rear view mirror. I also have a tapered block about 6 ft. long that I can back up on and stop when the ball is centered.

We just got a new camper (to us) last fall and I am glad to know those are stabilizer jacks and not leveling jacks! That would have messed us up for sure! THanks for the advice.

In the past few months my wife and I have watched many of your videos. We just purchased a small travel trailer,we are picking up on Saturday I love you guys!!! I just turned 69 last week , I go to the gym 3 days a week, I’m not scared of RV camping. Thanks for your videos I wish you guys the best, stay healthy Sean. I was able to get all the product we needed from amazon. God bless you we’ll keep watching and supporting

I'm just glad there are happy nice people like you two out there being kind and helpful. Thanks for all your videos.

One of my favorites? Shout out from Memphis!

I found this video to be a bit of a stress reliever. I'm going to my first campground tomorrow by myself for a crash course set up. And then moving into my camper full time the following week and pulling it halfway across the US. I'm so excited for this adventure but the reality of how unprepared I am is starting to kick in. (Nervous laugh) Thank you so much for your videos guys! I have found them to be so super helpful 😁👍👍

that first sit down and beverage are the best. im normally behind on time so were usually arriving and setting up right as the sunsets. so it works out :)

I love your blogs. I am somewhat new to the RV life. Hoping to someday do it full time. Thanks for the tips and suggestions. You two are awesome. Safe travels!

enjoyed & can't wait till we start. I'm a little scared & having happy antisapation at the same time. looking forward to traveling.... thanks for the videos!

I am tuning in from vermilion ohio. I am a first time owner of travel trailer. Your videos are great! keep up the good work

Thank you for spending the time making these videos. I’m recently looking to purchase a RV camper. The tips you have shown and talked about are things I wouldn’t have not necessarily thought about. Way cool!. Steve from Cleveland Ohio

You two are just too cool for words! This is a wonderful tutorial for newbies...and a nice refresher for those who only take their trailers out once or twice a year! Cheers

Enjoy your videos! We graduated from a 20 foot keystone mini to a 35.11 foot Forest River monster with auto everything. We enjoy the size once we get setup but the pulling part not so much. Hope to see you on the road.

Just got my first RV few weeks ago. Drove 2000 miles round trip to pick it up. First trip with my daughter this next weekend!!! It's just the girls. Checking out all your tips and tricks.

Great video. Just chillax' and enjoy the process. The set-up and tear down can be part of the fun... no need to rush. Step 8 is a winner!

We're from FL and we just purchased our very 1st airstream and I'm so excited to start our journey, you guys give so many helpful tips. Thank you and love you guys!!!

thanks we enjoy it . we are newbies.

I sure am glad you mentioned how much work it is for newbies. I've been out since Nov 2016, 5 months, and sometimes I'm very exhausted at the end of the day. Of course now I'm heading to Alaska for 4 months where I'm going to celebrate my 70 birthday on August 25, 2017. You are invited to my party! I'll be in Seward. So I don't put anything out now when I stop. And I'm really liking TA Truck Stops! lol I gotta get to my Ferry to Haines.

Hi guys,Yes me and my 3 little rugrats are newbies,just bought our first Pull behind 27 ft 2007 Keystone Springdale camping Trailer,Come acrossed your videos and thank you so much for the advice,We’re in Indy- Indianapolis Indiana Waiting for winter to get over with hear and we’re going to hit it since I’m on Disability and this the reason we got it to be able to go and enjoy the outdoors,Thanks again for all your advice...

Great “candid” shots!! Those really make the video come together! You both have wonderful presence! Thanks! Lauri

Had a scary moment once with a downhill slope in a site. I put my BAL extended chock and a standard wheel chock only on one side. Unhitched the trailer and BAM trailer rolled back about 6 feet and scared the life out of me. It was one of those bad days, on the way to the same spot that day I had experienced my first tire blow out and said hope that is the only glitch in that trip, then the trailer almost rolled away....it is funny to think about it now, but was scary when it happened.

When your traveling do you keep your propane on to keep your fridge going? I heard that some people turn it off in fear or a giant fireball happening... never her this actually happening though

Hi guys! Love your channel! My husband and I have watched many of your videos and will keep watching, we have learned a lot. We just bought a 5th wheel, going to pick it up this weekend . . so excited! Our kids are really excited too, a boy and girl, 15 and 13. We have talked about this for SO long, and we did it, took that leap and finally bought a camper. It's not brand new, but new to us. It's just for weekends now, but maybe someday full time . . we would love to travel! I think it's going to change what we do, how we do it and where we go. There is so much to learn . . !!! lol Thanks for the videos!!! Keep 'em comin'! Hugs, Michelle

Wish I had seen a lot your videos before we started camping I learned how important the chocks are when our fifth wheel rolled and the front jacks fell off the blocks fortunately no damage other than the queasy feeling in my stomach lol ❤️your videos 👍

We have a typed check list, for set up and prior to departure. This started right after I drove away with the 'batwing' antenna cranked up.

You make your fresh water hose leak free with some replacement O rings and teflon tape, (available at any hardware store.)

Awesome, we just bought our 1st rv (mewmar 3810) in August, took it to a campground, pulled in, did the hook-ups and level, then extended our slides, however, when done our main living room slide was only 1" from the water hook-up, something was shining down on us, now we pull in, and measure 1st @ least a 4' minimum from any / all hook ups. Thanks for all your vids, they are a huge help for newbies... Dar & Jer

Great information! We just purchased a brand new 2018 Avenger ATI 27DBS we had it out for the first tome last weekend, and everything went smoothly. We are From A small town in Ontario Canada. We really find your videos informative and also entertaining. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent video! Many great tips for those just getting started. I learned my lessons the hard way and it's good to see some tips for beginners. One opinion I might add regards the wheel chocks. I have had my rv roll twice. First was next to a lake and if it hadn't stopped it would have been a long drop to the water. The second was in my back yard and I thought I was going to get squashed when the chocks slid. The plastic wheel chocks are junk and will slide. Wood blocks will also slide. I use the accordion style that goes between the tires. Fool proof and NEVER have to worry. Take NO chances to save a few bucks. To heck with the RV. Your life may depend on it.

Make sure before you leave everybody is on board. Almost left my wife when I thought she was in the bathroom when she was in the store getting something, pulled out and just saw her in the mirror, very very close call.

Great video for those of us who are very new to the RV world. Thanks for making this and all your other very informative videos.

Thank you both so much for the beginner video's. My wife and I just purchased our first travel trailer; a new 37' Coachmen Aerolite. We will pick it up in a few days and we're extremely excited about starting out on our first RV adventure. Your video's have brought to light many helpful things that will make our trips a success. We've been married 25 years and raised two children. You two seem to work together like clock work. Can't be true 100 percent of the time. What I'm interested in seeing is a video of the out takes! LOL. Happy RVing.

What a God send you are! When my wife and I were dating 33 years ago, we said that we wanted to travel when we retired. 33 years went too fast and I was injured badly at work and will retire at 55 yrs old. Gonna be able to travel now, but I have no clue how or where to start with an RV because we have tent camped locally in Southern California including Malibu where you mentioned. Camping and Surfing with our boys. Now Home will be Carson City Nv. area, where I will have a small Fabrication Business where I will make Industrial Furniture and a RU-vid channel, and travel as often as possible. Maybe we will cross paths one day, and we can thank you in person for teaching us the simple way...

I am using Anderson leveler. It both levels and chocks the wheels. There is a new hose available called Zero-G. It is very flexible and is drinking water safe, a 50 foot hose can be easily put in about a 6x12 inch space. I carry a Y gate to connect to the hose connection at the camp site so I can connect a garden hose for quick cleanups and it allows me to depressurization the potable water hose before I disconnect it from the trailer.

Great video. A must for all newbies to watch. We check the voltage before hookup! You never know... One comment suggested bleaching the spigot before connecting the water hose, great idea! Thanks Guys!

One of our friends just purchased a camper and he is very green. This video was perfect for him. Thanks.

How about a video of prepping the interior of a unit prior to going mobile

still in conn what tools do you carry

I’m a new rv/camper guy, and I’m watching all your videos. They’re all super helpful and well done. Thanks for the hard work.

We are so new we still have all the stuff we have bought for our new 2018 Classic sitting in our living room. We are going for our first outing in a week about 30 mins from our home just to set everything up and try it out. We have been watching your videos they are great help and lots of fun. We will keep watching and posting. See you on the from Dreamfinder
