Camping First Timer at 57
We have owned 4 campers including this Keystone Outback Terrain and this is the first time we have taken one on the open road and actually spent more than one night camping. We learned a lot. We even went RV/camper shopping!
As first timers, him 60 and her 57, we made some rookie mistakes like forgetting pillows. So after properly hooking up the sewer, water and 30 AMP power, we went to tow in Greenville, NC and found some at Big Lots. The first morning we had breakfast at Buiscutville because we had never been but then the next day we cooked on the outdoor camper kitchen stove.

Wow, first time in that rig. FWIW using an rv fridge while not level, is inviting a fire. We know, we lost our rig 4 weeks ago, fridge burst into flames, while sitting idle on driveway. It’s the leading cause of rv fires, according to our insurance folks. Be careful, absorption fridges are diff than at home

I've been told that putting the jacks down slightjy twists the chassis. And since the slideouts are installed with the jacks UP, they will be out of alignment and eventually damage themselves if they are moved while the jacks are down, because of that chassis twist. May not be true, but it does sound possible.

I am 70 now, and my wife refuses to camp. I mostly camp out of the back of my pickup, but recently picked up a Shiftpod tent for some more leisure time camping. What I am most interested in is, where can I pick up one of those neat Jen gadgets you got there. Something tells me she would come in real handy in helping set up camp. 😘 Do they come with batteries, or do I need to supply my own? 🤔🤨

@mariannanfuso5060 Жыл бұрын

You really need something under those stabilizers. We used to have a travel trailer and broke one of our stabilizers cause we didn’t use anything. Some sites are not as level as they might be so not extending those stabilizers all the way to the ground will keep your rig from shaking when you walk around. Get some slide out stabilizers too.

At 21.42 it looks likes you only have half of the anti-sway system hooked up. I thought a a full anti-sway system has either sway bars or some sort of chains on both sides of the hitch system to not only level everything out and slow the sway of the trailer.

Hi I just came across this u tube video and it caught my eye as it started out with you being spray tanned. I was wondering if you could share the one you use and the color you like. I have gone thru so many brands of self tanners and they all leave me freckled. a sprayer is my last resort as tanning isnt an option anymore. My husband and I are at the age where we are trying to decide what are best option is for an RV so we look forward to watching more of ur videos and getting a feel how u guys handle pulling a trailer and work aroud the pups. we have 1 big golden retriever. looking forward to any feedback u have to offer

@exoman Жыл бұрын

We sell our own. www.etsy.com/shop/bansheemoon Note that, the spots or freckles really don't have anything to do with the brand. It is just that some of us have very dry spots that pick up more DHA and get tanner. Try applying lotion an hour before tanning, it may help a lot.

Ya know I here people call this camping. And I maybe old school perhaps really old school but when I went camping it was with a rucksack , sleeping bag some things to build a shelter and if needed and cook with. These things that have wheels are motorhomes a mobile house if you will , with the comforts of home it's not really camping is it ?

@exoman 2 ай бұрын

Not meaning to offend but here is your honest answer. It is indeed camping. Just as you can't understand the use of the term camping for this, I cannot understand the compulsion of sooo many men to belittle forms other than their rugged preference. There are levels or types of camping. I hitchhiked across country when I was 14/15 years old without the comforts you enjoyed. I had no sleeping bag and slept on the side of the road, under overpasses etc. Came very close to death more than twice. I got from Denver to new Orleans with my brother and our few bits of clothing and belongings were stolen. Had to hitchhike back to Denver with the cloths on our backs in September with almost no money. I could say you haven't experienced roughing it until you've walked in my shoes but that would just turn into a macho pissing match. What's the point? I enjoy taking a camper to a campground and having a campfire as much as I enjoyed hiking into the wilderness above Estes Park in the Colorado Rockies as a boy with friends and camping on the ground. If you always need to compare what your doing to what the other guy is doing, that kind takes away from your endeavor.

Retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough savings during their active years. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My parents both spent same years in the civil service, but my mom was investing through a asset manager, and my dad through the 401k. My mom retired with about ‘4.2M’, but my dad retired with roughly '$1.8M’.

@FinnBraylon 3 ай бұрын

It depends on your personal preferences and comfort level. However, one option is to keep things simple and consult an asset manager. They can help you determine your risk appetite, avoid common mistakes, and provide a broader perspective on your investment landscape. I have about ($1.25m) in non-retirement assets. Compared to the whole value of my portfolio during the last three years, I have no debt and a very little in retirement accounts. To be completely honest, the information provided by managers can only be ignored but not neglected. Simply undertake research to choose a trustworthy one.
