I am sorry you are involved with Earth breeze. I ordered some and yes they were pretty good…I only wanted to them for two months on the road… HOWEVER… I was sent more each month not knowing they would do that! So I called the company to stop the auto ship (that I didn’t know was going to happen). BUT, they kept sending & charging me… I kept sending back, and asking to reverse charges with my bank….I am sure I have not been reimbursed fully for it all. Lastly, I then learned they are made in China, which is a country that DEMANDS testing on animals 🤬 So I will never order again from Earth Breeze.
@shorts4us Ай бұрын
I have been using earth breeze for a year as we are still living in a house. As we get ready to go on the road, I ordered a 1 year supply to be sent to my house before we launch. Wondering how you get yours if you are full time on the road. Do you order once a year, or just change your address monthly? I love them as they do a great job and take SO MUCH LESS weight, waste, or plastic jugs that can't be recycled.

Here's a tip, always keep a hose clamp with your water bandit so it can be tightened down and will stay on the smooth spigot when you open the valve. Our MH has a screw on hose fitting that requires water pressure to fill our tank, so a hose clamp is mandatory for us.

There is one thing for sure that I will never use that collapses in my RV ever again and it's the Collapsible bucket. Not recommended for indoor RV usage at all. If you catch the side of the bucket it does what it's meant too and collapses and you have wet products all over the floor. I will however use them for outdoor use for cleaning etc so if the bucket collapses it's outdoors.

I use a foldable 42 gal water bladder, that has hose attachments, along with a battery operated water pump to fill the fresh water tank when dry camping. I have done it the way you showed when I first started but when you get older and with no young ones to help it is awkward and time consuming.

But ya gotta love her trying with a tiny bit of water lol. 🍻

Great videos… One suggestion for hauling water and transferring into the RV. I see you using a funnel and pouring the water from the container into the RV. Instead get a Jiggler ( hose with a one way ball valve at one end found at places like Napa, Home Depot Camping World etc.) It’s basically a siphon hose. Just elevate the jug above the inlet like on a ladder or something similar. Place the ball valve end of the hose into the jug and the other end into the inlet of the RV. Then simply jiggle the hose according to the instructions. The jug will empty relatively rapidly Depending on the size of the hose. Greg

Each owner has their own list of things to make or save trips. We are boon dockers and often beyond cell coverage. I carry a Garmin Inreach Mini. I can send my children a short text from each campsite which includes the GPS Coordinates of the site. Peace of mind for my children. I have also used it once when a water pump on my truck failed. My son in law was able to get a new water pump for me. We did not even loose a day on the trip. Another kitchen item is a folding potato masher found at Safeway a few months back.

WAGO Connectors! These replace wire nuts. They are more secure, totally up to code, one size fits just about anything, and - can be used with just one hand. Further, in order to test for voltage, you don't have to disconnect anything - they have a recessed test probe hole.

There's another great use for the Water Bandit that you didn't mention. If the hose bib you are trying to get a hose on has damaged threads such that you can't thread on your hose, or because it makes the hose leak, you can use the Water Bandit on those hose bibs also to get your hose to work usually.

For hauling water instead of the small totes, get a water bag. They come in every size up to thousands of gallons and collapse flat or roll it up. Ours is 65 gallons, same size as the rv tank. Get a 12v pump or drill pump and you never run out of water.

The problem with jacking up the power of your headlights, is you are more likely to blind oncoming traffic. And there's another double edged sword to that... at night... older people start to see halos around lights when they start to get cataracts, or in the case of some replacement lenses... and so you're doubly blinding them. I can say driving towards another car on say a motorcycle at night that is blinding you to pieces is a harrowing experience, and your best bet is to slow down and fixate on the white line on the side of the road and follow it and hope it holds out until you pass them. When would it not hold out and disappear? Like when you go through an intersection where you have no stop signs but the entering traffic does. Then poof your white lines disapear for so many feet until you are through the intersection...

Try wrapping eternabond tape in parchment paper, so it doesn't get everything stuck to it. Have you tried smart bottles, way better, tougher, smaller, and modular with various accessories/mods. A cordless tool syste(looks like you already have dewalt) works really well for things even like the fan and air compressor, then it's actually cordless. And a simple siphon for the water transfer is easier, no funnel required, and minimum lifting the water jugs, and probably 3-4x faster transfers.

My parents had a diesel tag Axel RV. It was the Mountain Aire, by Newmar. My parents used this more then there large 55 foot boat. They loved it so much they had there names on the towels and there ribs. This RV had everything, except propane tanks. It was all electric. It had one full slide and two smaller slides. But your kitchen ideas are great to know. That RV was driven in every state here in the USA, plus in Canada. And they did boone docking also. From Inverness Florida all over the states. There Hatteras only took them to the islands off our coast. I had a blast seeing a lot of nice places thru our the states. But once my mom passed away my dad sold the RV and the boat, because it reminded him of his wife. He asked me if I wanted one of them, but I said no. So he sold them. But when he died in 2009 I got that money. There was a TV in the living room, and it the master plus one outside. The kitchen had a big electric range plus a dishwasher, microwave/ convection oven and a 5 door frig. Mom only had to buy a toaster and a coffee machine. It even came with some dishes, silverware and a few pots. We also had a outside shower and the canopy's were all automatic with lights under them to light up the small folding table. The basement slide outs were all electric. And it had a sat dish on the roof with three air conditioners. The outside paint was like a mirror, black with red stripes, like racing strips. The only thing my dad added was a wine cooler and a rifle and pistol safe. Been to a lot of camp sites with bears walking around at night, so my dad shot blanks, it did the job. But one night in northwestern Canada something shook the RV, my mom screamed. I think a squatch was out there, but in the morning we did not see any foot prints. But we did get two prints in North Carolina. Now my mom stood at 5'4" and my dad stood at 6 foot. Myself I stood at7'3" tall and wear a size 18 EEEE shoe. Now I'm in a wheelchair because of a back injury. But that morning that foot print was much larger then my foot. It's nice that your taking your kids to see the states. Your making memory's, great memory's. Hopefully they get great paying jobs and follow what your doing for them, that they will do to there future kids. Like my parents seeing that I loved to cook and sent me to a cooking school in Germany. If you ever get a chance to go, go. My mom was from Ulm, where the tallest church tower is located and my dad was raised in Ludinghausen. All of Germany is beautiful. And I went to cooking school in Bad Reichenhall. A very beautiful town in southern Germany. Right across the border from Austria. Was there a few years ago to visit my relatives. The Ulmer Munster was started before Columbus discovered America. But I subscribed to your channel and always give you a thumbs up when watching KZfaq on my big screen TV. Keep up the great work Mom and Dad.

you guys always find the coolest gadgets and products. the one thing i do not find rvers talking about is pet food. we do not have a youtube channel… we recommend freeze dried. it is way lighter, takes up far less space than kibble or canned food and contains far more nutrients. people find their pets eat less and are healthier (save on vet bills). we use Instinct limited ingredients raw meals, or stella and chewy’s beef patties or surf and turf patties. with the dog patties you can add warm water to hydrate, but we just break up the patties without hydrating and our dog loves it. amazon sells both brands and depending on where you are will deliver same day, or with prime, the next day. it is more expensive but our pets eat less and are healthier. and their coats are soft and beautiful. also for cats, use corn or walnut based litter. many health problems arise from clay clumping litters.

2 things. It's not collapsible, but one of the most utilitarian funnels you can have is the long neck kind you use for adding fluids under your hood. And as far as the lights go, those amber ones are you low beams. For when you want to show up late at night and not blind your neighbors. Or so you can idle and let someone know where you are without again blasting the wildlife and neighbors with light pollution. Even trees need to sleep, new fun fact, Google it.
