Just found your channel and can not stop watching. What a fantastic life style you have both choose. Adventure and luxury. Now this is 'camping'.

At first I thought; "there's no way I'm going to sit through 55 mins of this"......... I sat through all 55 mins!!! Great Video!!!

The best part is that you explain why you do things instead of just how. Good job. Thanks guys.

This was the 1st video I didn’t look at the length of video time 1st. kept me glued all the way through. Good job.

Been fulltiming for about 8 years now moving about every 3 months. You guys are pretty spot on and quite informative to newbies. Good job guys!!!

I love the fact that you have a checklists...and that you continue to use them.

This brings back a lot of memories!! Some fun and some not so much. Best thing I get did was sell my Winnebago and buy into motor yacht shares!! Now when I travel I take my comfortable suv and I don’t have to worry about any of the RV problems anymore!! I simply pull up to my bnb and enjoy my holiday!! There are virtually bnb’s all over the country, honestly I would never ever invest in an RV or Motorhome again!! It seems like fun at first, you somewhat enjoy it!! But the day you sell it, is the day you realise how much easier life can be Good luck on your journey

My wife and i fulltimed for about 15 plus years and enjoyed almost every min, of it , at that time we found we could live much cheaper than owning a house , we had a ford 350 dual wheel pu and a 38 ft 5th wheel , this was in the days of much lower costs we had about 58 thousand in both . i did as you are doing see if you can do your own fixes , most dealers don`t have tecks that know much about fixing anything , ENJOY WATCHING YOUR VIDS , i envy you , OLD 84 YEAR OLD RVER . KEEP THE SHINY SIDE UP .

Watch this video on another device in its entirety. I wanted to say thank you so much for making this video. I am considering purchasing and also you answered many questions that will help me help my son and his father with their setup. There is many things that was not explained to them and we are learning. Even though may have been lengthy I'm glad it was very detailed because I learned quite a bit. I recommend video to all people who have already purchased and also those considering to purchase. Thank you again and have fun travels

You certainly have it down to a system. Great to see someone be thorough and careful with their equipment...makes it last lots longer and makes the journey more enjoyable! Thank you for sharing!

Your checking is even more accurate then a flight check. Well, it´s different but your care is absolutely incredible. Material will last for a very long period because of the maintenance applied.

You changed our lives!! We are new to 5th wheels and we’re having trouble getting the hitch to release when un-hitching. Our dealer had said to put the truck in drive and if that didn’t work to put it in reverse. All that did was scare the crap out of us. You said to put it in neutral - I’ll be darned, works like a charm! Thanks!!!

This couple is amazing! Cant wait to one day live threw this experience.

I love the methodology and lists. One thing I changed in my habits is a post-trip inspection vs pre-trip due to finding an issue with delayed a departure. Now if I find one it is addressed with plenty of time. We also cross check each other. Gives a second set of eyes.

We have just begun to think that RVing full time is a lifestyle that we would lie to try for a couple of years. Knowing nothing about RVs I have begun the process of researching. Came across this video today. I admire your attention to detail. Obsessive has its place, doesn't it? I have subscribed. You are a wealth of information. Thank you.

Just discovered your channel and I really like the long form, detailed content. I'll admit when I first saw that this video was 55 minutes, my short attention span self almost didn't do it. I am really glad I did. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your life on the road.

Excellent information! You've definitely have shown why the check list(s) is SO important. Thanks for putting all that time into this video. You guys have done a great job.

You guys speak fluent song lyric and movie quote. Awesome.

LOVE your COMPLETE video.!!!! HOWEVER, one important step I learned as a young camper. Pull completely out of sight and STOP.!!!! Walk and check around sight for anything left behind, (including rubbish). I have left oars, lights, nets, etc... GREAT JOB.!!!!!

I'm a just starting out rookie rv'er and this video was awesome!! You showed things that i never thought of. Great job and great video.

A REALLY great video, guys! You gave us all a warning of the length (and it shows the length, when cking the bar); but, hey, y'all covered a LOT of information (very thoroughly!). LOVE your idea of T-24, T-12 and T-0; really takes it in a logical order and reduces the amount of (possible) error/missing items. Really like the idea of having it on your smartphone; don't have to carry around an Excel-type manual checklist. I appreciate the effort y'all have made to create and produce this video; you've helped a LOT of people, regardless of experience. The checklist should reduce the number of missed items; one can be easily distracted, when setting-up/breaking down at the campsite (regardless of location). Thanks, again. Be Safe!

Great video! I enjoy seeing how you do things - it's great to see your process. Really like the methodical approach, definitely how you keep from making stupid mistakes!

best info video I've watched. Thank you very much. I have never owned a RV, we are planning to go full time, this video has been very helpful.

I've been living in United States for 30years. You guys are my American dream. Thank you for the video

I feel like I’m learning so much from your video’s before my husband and I get our 5th wheel

Awesome check lists. We Sailors love check lists to secure and unsecure.

First let me thank you for taking the time in making this video. It was very informative and with every minute watching it. Plus we love your little guy.

Thanks for the video on checklists! I built my own checklists but after 8 years of RV, I ignored them. Until now. And then I saw you go up on the roof. I’m revising my checklists. Thanks!

If I owned an RV with my wife these are the kind of people I would want to be friends with

I can't wait til I get my RV and start traveling and living on the road. You guys are amazing.

As the owner of a 2014 369RL Solitude the Video was very entertaining. There is a flo when you do it a lot. Keep up the Great work.

We have been watching your videos but just realized we were not "Subscribed"! Now we are. When we have a loose fitting sewer hose we have a plastic bag filled with small gravel or sand to put on the connection to keep the connection in place. Also, we have been RVing for years but its always nice to see how other people do things. We learned a few things today! Thanks! Jim and Sue

Omg, I watched this twice and fast forward 5 months to our camp breakdown in prep for the Quartszite Rally. We fill our fresh water tank and open the outside faucet (as one does) and you guessed it, we didnt close them. Off to boondock with Grand Design. So for 3 days we've been trying to figure out why we were only getting lukewarm water. We worked with the techs here and were getting ready to order a part tomorrow, thankfully the damn brain starts to work at 10 PM and this video comes back! Hubby googled, yep! Best hot shower ever!

Dude, thank you for the time/detail you put into these videos!! I only recently subscribed, but I have seen through your videos a lot of little details that I'm not able to otherwise see. Keep 'em coming.

That is amazing! Thank you. I think that is the most beautiful Motorcycle I have ever seen!

A trick for the sewer that doesn't or can't screw on. Get a water clamp/ strap that tightens by a 5/16 screw so you can reuse it for a very long time. Run a big/ long zip tie inside the strap before tightening and over the top of your 90 degree connection. This will guarantee a more secure connection and can't be bumped out by someone or their pet and it lays on top of the ground making a mess until you find it.

they seem like really good nice people i wouldn't mind doing that one day seems fun i like the videos keep up the great work!!

That was fantastic, awesome video. You both are so easy to listen to. Thanks for taking the time to film this. Take care and be safe.

Just wanted to give you a shout out Tara for the great editing job!! Love all your videos and the way you arrange the video to the music - real pro job!

I've watched this one several times. 1st wrote it down exactly, as close as I could, then downloaded the checklists, rewatched the video while I made corrections and re- wrote correctly in my phone notes. Now I've re-watched it, making modifications based on my rig. I think I've now got my checklist down correctly, in the correct order etc. Watching, writing, repeat x2 has been very helpful to me in feeling confident that I can manage, as I do it by myself. I love the fact that the lists are spaced apart!! I've done RVing since 4 years old, I've had 2 motor homes, a tent trailer, and 30' Mallard as an adult. Now I have a truck and 5th wheel trailer with a gooseneck hitch (not an adapter) and LOVE the auto level!! However, it's still a process to hitch or hitch, not to mention maintain a rig like this!! I'm happy for all the checklists, phone reminders (check brakes, lube bearings, grease wet bolts etc are all calendered with reminders!). Thanks for all the GREAT VIDs on the how to and where to sides!!!

I watched the entire video. It wasn't too long, it was everything I needed and wanted to see. Thank y'all. My wife and I have really been enjoying your videos as we ponder getting a Toy Hauler.

Great video!!! Been watching and learning. Currently own truck camper and been looking to upgrade to 5th wheel. Doing great job! Travel=camping=future!

Thanks. I cleaned the kitchen whole watching and didn't realize it was actually so long

Just watched this video of camp set-up and tear down - Nice Job. Seriously, it brought several things to mind that my wife and I never thought about. While our rig is much simpler, a lot of what you did is easily transferable to our situation. Wish I better understood internet information, watched that video as well, and yeah - technology remains a challenge. Oh well, old dogs and all that. One thing I was surprised by was your use of a bungee style safety chord on the hitch - they look fantastic - colored, neat, but by the time that chord tightens enough to pull the pin and activate your rigs brakes - well - measure it sometime. You might be less comfortable with it after that - or you might decide its still worth the trade off, just be aware those are often not ideal because they do stretch. Thanks again. Fun watching you two - you have worked to gain a unique style of combining information with entertainment that makes watching the two of you addictive.

Didn't feel long at all... Very informative... Love everything about you your life 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

When we do our final walk around we also lock all the access doors, fuel tank etc so if we stop at a rest area that our storage areas are secure. We have the 376TH and will push the ladder in and lock to not allow full access to the roof. Nice video and a lot of work . Great job

I've watched so many of your videos, I feel like we are good friends already. Fantastic videos... Please keep making them. Love them

I have found out the hard way that checklists are a must. Great video

Wow guys, nice work. Definitely my favorite video so far, just subscribed, looking forward to watch more of your adventures.

Awesome video, guys!

Super helpful for my girlfriend and I who are embarking on new timer ventures! Thank you 🙏🏾

A really great checklist of how to properly get under way so that your trip doesn't get ruined. It's surprising how reducing the water and air pressure in an RV is such an important task, but glad you covered it. Thank you!

Thank you for taking time to make this video!

Love your videos! So glad I found y’all! You two are just so great. Your videos are super informational and I enjoy watching you. Thank you! We are doing our homework for full time rv living. We have two little. 4 and 16 months. We are about 6 months out from potential doing this. We love grand design and are still trying to figure out what would work best for us as we will have one in a crib.

Love the video..after 40 years of pre-tripping patrol vehicles and tractor trailers..dropping and hooking sets of doubles..and teaching newbees... LOVE YOUR CHECK LISTS!! I always told the guys I trained..if you get interrupted at some point..maybe someone comes up and talks to you, GO BACK TO THE LAST THING THAT YOU REMEMBER CHECKING..and then continue. REPETITION IS THE KEY TO SAFETY!! You two work so well together..a handsome gentleman and a beautiful lady :)

I've been researching 5th wheels for 8 months. By far, this is the best video I've watch to date. Checklists are without a doubt the smartest protocol to use.

@40:45 That's the "Don't touch my truck Alarm" haha

Love you videos, thanks for reminding us that not just newbies need checklist.

Thank you SO much. We just bought a 5th wheel and this video gave me so much insight into things I didn't even think about. Checklist created and ready to ROLL!!!

We just lost my father in law and this video is a life saver. It is a daunting task to break down his rv. Thank you for your help.

This is an absolutely outstanding video. What great content!! Thank you very much.

Awesome list. Thanks for putting this together in a soft copy and for the IOS instructions.

I don’t even own a RV but I just watch the entire 60 mins. Very nice! Keep up the good work. Subscribed

I like the way you hook up to 5th Wheel. Very Nice. I use to drive 18 Wheeler and that is how the NTTS SCHOOL thought us, I'll never forget how to hook and unhook a 5th Wheel. ! 👍🇺🇸

I have watched three of your videos now and I am glad I am not the only one with OCD lol. I check and re-check and the kids are like hurry up Dad...But seriously your videos are very well done and very helpful. You have supported my line of thinking and added things for me to think about. We also have a Grand Design (Reflection) and love it wish could use it more but those days are coming soon. Anyway keep up the great videos I love them

Let us know if you'd like to see more detail on any of our camp breakdown and setup steps! If we get enough interest, we'll make a video!

I like a blackboard for "things that are different this time", a hammock between trees or whatever...

Yet another great video that was extremely informative. And your light-hearted humor always puts a big smile on my face. I too cannot stop watching your awesome videos. 👍

Thanks for the great tips! We love following RVers who have more experience than us so we can learn.

Glad I found your channel. You are doing -traveling and hauling a motorcycle - what my wife and I want to do. We purchase a used 5th wheel toy hauler and are getting ready to try this adventure. Thanks

As a truck driver who does alot of what is known as in the Industry "Drop n Hook" besides doing a visual inspection of the 5th wheel bar , release mechanism do a tug test to be sure you are actually hitched. Be sure if your parked in a camp spot if at your primary residence that your 5th wheel plate doesn't have debris on/ in it. Check that you don't have snow or ice as this will effect your 5th wheel. You might and this happens more often in trucking to even experienced drivers too

I am so glad that I found you. We have been full time for 19 months for my husband's job (we contracted to put the camper in place). We finally got a truck and are trying this monster (41' Keystone Montana and 3500 Dually Chevy Silverado) on the road for the first time this weekend. I am terrified that we haven't done enough pre-planning. It's probably been 20 years since my husband pulled anything (only short/ 10 mile or so runs.... not a fifth wheel). I wish we had time to go to a parking lot to practice, but.... we are only going to a State Park about 15 miles from where we are. Our main goal on this trip is to practice the breakdown and set-up. I guess this trip is the practice driving and parking, it will just be in a campsite instead of a parking lot. This whole setup is so we can travel full-time when my husband retires Fall 2020. I can't wait to be comfortable enough to be on the road full time. Practice, practice, practice!!!

Thank you so much for this! Great info, very thorough! You guys are awesome!

Thank you for sharing. Very useful information.

I found this video far more enjoyable than I ever imagined.

Awesome pre trip inspection. As a truck driver. I appreciated this whole video. And it will definitely help us. Thank you for sharing.

Daisy misses Mom when you aren't in the truck :)

Very informative video, nice job, it does get to be a smooth rhythm after a few times. Thanks for sharing and safe travels to you both😁

Outstanding & great flow of information...no black tanking here!

I actually enjoyed the video and liked it because it was long enough to have the full knowledge hot to complete camp breakdown and setup, you guys are AMAZING wish you all the best and keep it up

“Eats the poop” - yep, I got that right off.

Hi guys great video again like I said before you should of been a teacher ✔️

This might help. We have short pieces of Plexi glass tucked in behind the front edge of the medicine opening of the cabinet to prevent items from falling out. Works great.

Thanks for sharing a part of your life with me. I watched it all, and no where near ready to buy an rv yet. Lol.

this is great thank you for sharing.

Hi guys love your channel..Question where did you get your desk and chair for the office ?

Awesome, thanks for sharing! I'm thankful for you guys and for finding you. We've been doing our prep work and plan on starting our RV adventure in a few weeks. We'll be watching all your posts.

Excellent! As a newbie, very helpful! I’ll rewatch. Few more times I’m sure...

Great video... Something I was thinking about... With the back ramp acting as a "patio", if there's a heavy rain and the deck gets wet, are there any issues with water pooling inside the coach when the door is closed?

😳 aaaaaand comment #1,000 - wow! 😳 Still enjoy the thought and detail you guys put into this video including planning and editing, well done! This information inspired our own pre-flight check-lists. The one thing we’ve added is a leaf blower for clearing the crap out from under the toppers as well as any other junk on the roof. Works well too for clearing leaves out of campsites in the fall prior to backing in so that we minimize any mishaps with junk left from the uncaring previous campers, as well as keeping the fallen leaves outside the RV. DeWalt makes one now so we don’t need extra batteries. Keep up the great work you two, you’re appreciated 👍 Safe Travels & Happy Camping 😎

Chad and Tara: Thank you for all the videos you do, they are extremely helpful and informative. Thank you for all you do. Love your channel. Jan 😃

Take a look at roller blade wheels to replace the stock wheels on your office chair. They're a game changer. Love your channel. Soon as I found it I couldn't wait to go home and show my wife, saying, "This needs to be our goal!".

FANTASTIC VID...and it really wasn't too long and gives the newbie like me a small glimpse of what it is to be mobile.... especially when i am trying to combine my work life and get into the RV life...

Subscribed! My wife and I have an older 2008 Tahoe (toy hauler, 29' actual) and we only bought it roughly two years ago. I had never owned an RV before, and am _still_ learning things to this day. Your channel has helped me tremendously in only the past two days that I've watched! I can't thank you enough, and I look forward to playing catch up with all of your video archives, and seeing new ones :)

Love, love, love your video. One thing that I did in my trailer which might help is, in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom, I took a small piece of wood and painted it, and glued it to the front edge of each shelf that does not have a ledge to keep things from falling out.

Thank you. Just bought a fifth wheel. This was very informative and helpful. I was able to watch this video while having my morning coffee, priorities, and wasn’t that long to me. I appreciate you sharing your journey. Have fun. Hi from Salem Oregon.

Love you guys. We just purchased a new 5th wheel, and because we're only use to tow behind trailers and truck campers we took your check lists and made modifications to fit our needs. Thank you soooo much from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to educate us all. I have the check lists separated, saved and printed, and now sending to our phones. You two are a wealth of information.

I honestly didn't think I would sit thru an hour video of how to to break camp as we have been campers for over fifteen years. I am so glad I did. We just purchased our first fifth wheel and will be leaving on our annual Colorado trip later this week. You have a ton of great points in this video and I will be adopting them starting with this trip. I love the checklist on your phone. As a former Navy vet and an aircraft mechanic this checklist only makes sense. Thanks again for the great video.

Whew! I really like how thorough you are. It was very nice meeting you today at Grand Design.

You exhaust me watching you do your checklist. ☺️
