Nice video! One thing to note about those devices that hold the sewer hose off the ground is that some parks require them and some states/cities require them by law for sanitation reasons of keeping sewer hose off of public surfaces. Best to carry on with even if you dont use it everywhere.
@1StrangeAdventure
@1StrangeAdventure 3 года назад
That's a great point. I didn't consider that because I typically do not leave it connected. We can go about 4 days before having to dump so I usually get the hoses out, dump, and then put everything away. Thanks for the info! We appreciate it! I have pinned this comment to the top so more of the community will see it!😊

@1StrangeAdventure
@1StrangeAdventure 3 года назад
Once you have the water connected, I like to keep my 90-turn off valve in the off position so my hoses fill up with water but it doesn't go into the camper. I can then slowly turn that on. That gives the air a chance to escape. Sometimes I will even turn the hose on that is connected to the camper and hold it open while I let the water in. Again, giving the air a place to escape and not pushing high pressure into my lines. Hope this helps!
@khw210
@khw210 2 года назад
@@1StrangeAdventure Just a note.... Leaving the "90" closed and opening the spigot doesn't allow air to escape. There's nowhere for the air to go.. Something along the water path has to be open to do that. What I do is open one of the water valves inside my camper and then open the spigot slowly to fill the hose and allow air to escape through whatever water valve I've got open inside.

Hi Harold, Another great video! I use the same Zero G hoses. I actually have two 100' hoses and a 50' hose. I use the 50' hose mostly connecting from the water source to the RV but have the extra in case I'm camping where I don't have water hookup and have to fill from a spigot that a camping loop shares. I just hook up the hose at the spigot, fill, and then unhook the hose and bring it back to the RV until needed again. Easier than hauling water canisters back and forth several times. Also, the 311BHS has two separate sewer waste pipes. Do you use a Y connector for the hoses or just hookup to the second one as needed?
@1StrangeAdventure
@1StrangeAdventure 3 года назад
Hi Rob! I agree. I remember carrying water canisters when we would tent camp. Thankfully, those days are behind us. The 311BHS does have two black tank dumps and I do have a Y connector. However, I don't think I have ever actually used it. We can go 3-4 days without having to dump, so I don't leave the black tank hoses connected. I get them out, dump, flush move to the second outlet, repeat, and then put everything back away. Typically, the morning of travel day. Saves me the time of having to hook everything up when I get to a camp site and I can do it while Cindy is getting the inside ready. That routine works for us. Thanks for watching and as always thank you for the support!

@1StrangeAdventure

Hello- I like to have my wife turn the faucet on inside before I turn on the spigot. That way the air has somewhere to escape. She monitors as the water comes out and lets me know we are good to go.

*yesterday i learned a hard lesson. pressurized the system with a full house pressure line and blew up my inline Camco 40019 filter. thought it would be ok because this was replacing one i already had on the RV air pressure was too much i guess and it blew up showering Charcoal everywhere in my service bay. bad thing is there are electrical connections and lights in there. so a REALLY good pointer would be to either run water through the filter first and then hoook it up or to have someone inside opening the water valves. I blew my city water connection right off of my RV and now have to spend my Saturday trying to find another connection and putting it on this RV that i live in 24/7 365. As far as the graduated drain pipe lift is concerned, SOME campgrounds require you to have those*
@1StrangeAdventure
@1StrangeAdventure 2 года назад
Yes, some do require them. 95% we have been to I have observed them on the ground. Not saying that's the right way of doing it, but it has been observed. Also, sorry to hear about your connector! We have had our fair share of water debacles and do not take that lightly in an RV. Hoping you were able to find the parts and repair it as necessary. Safe travels fellow full timer!

Nice informative video but wanted to note that those adjustable water pressure regulators do a great job of "reducing" water pressure but are not capable of "increasing" water pressure. The pressure exiting those pressure regulators can never exceed the pressure entering them.
@1StrangeAdventure
@1StrangeAdventure 2 года назад
Correct! However, if your regulator is set lower than the pressure entering the regulator for some reason, you are able to adjust it up to that pressure while keeping it within a safe limit of your RV. That is what I was referring to. I appreciate the comment.

Do you open your sewer valve after you hookup your sewer line.... I'm a 1st timer with a 5th wheel just checking all my bases
@1StrangeAdventure
@1StrangeAdventure 11 месяцев назад
We do not leave our black tank valve open. That can lead to issues within your tank bc the water is running out and your waste doesn't always go with it. Leave the black tank valve closed as long as possible and then dump and flush. I like to flush my tank about once a week. The gray water tanks can be left open, which we typically do for our shower tank. However, I will close them the day before I plan to flush the black tank. that gives us time to build up water in the gray tank and then open after I'm done with the black tank. that helps clean the hoses and make sure nothing was left over. hope this helps.

Another question, When connection to shore power. I get that all the breakers have to be in the off position at "shore power", do I also have to turn off the main breaker in my trailer.
@1StrangeAdventure
@1StrangeAdventure 2 года назад
No sir. Generally you don’t have to turn your trailer breakers off unless there is a problem. We always check the shore power with our surge protector first just to be sure there isn’t an issue before hooking up the trailer to it.

Hi Brett! I hate to say this, but it depends. For us as full timers, I'm having to change it every month. Some campgrounds don't have the best water... For weekenders, it can be as little as once a season depending on how much you use it. I would suggest getting a system that has a white filter, so you can visually see how dirty it is. We currently have black filters and it's difficult to see how dirty they are.

@1StrangeAdventure
@1StrangeAdventure 2 года назад
Hey Juan, You leave the city water running and use it like you do at a normal home. (You just have to watch your tanks and make sure they don’t fill up) You only have to fill the tank and use the pump when you aren’t going to have a water source. I hope this helps 😊

The gate valves connect the same as the sewer hose and the hose connects to it. Very easy to install. We use a separate hose for the black tank.
