    Advice from a couple who RV’d across Canada and U.S.! My top tips….. -Get disposable gloves for every time you touch your sewer hose. You don’t want to use the same gloves. EVER. -Get a level, and always make sure you’re level every time you park. If you’re parking and not level and can’t or don’t want to make it level…shut your fridge off. The fridge depends on you moving/shaking, or being level. Shut it off if it’s parked and not level (within reason, try to be as level as possible). If you keep your fridge door closed it acts like a cooler and will keep every cold for like 5 or 6 hours or so, don’t be nervous about shutting it off in a sloped area while you go away for a few hours. -use paper plates for dinner, then toss in the fire pit. Less dishes. -lubricate all your outer sealing rubbers near windows, doors, etc. Canadian tire RV section actually has everything you need for RV’ing including that spray lubricant (I forget the name). Keeps the rubber from cracking. -Never travel long distances with a bunch of water in the water tank. It’s heavy on gas. Just a little for the rare hand washing or quick toilet flush. You’ll always find somewhere to fill up with water in Canada and U.S. -get a little tool kit and once a week check for loose screws, random looseness, etc. All that moving/vibration makes things loose. Stay on top of it as part of a habit. -when long distance driving, don’t bother trying to time the slopes to save on gas (speeding up on downhills and slowing down for the uphills). I’ve tested this across Canada/U.S. the difference in gas usage is almost nothing. Not worth the effort, just relax enjoy the ride and keep somewhat the same speed unless really steep. - Looking back 10 years from now, you’re gonna remember the little annoyances, flat tire, overheated engine, weird neighborhoods…these are the memories…have fun with them…don’t get upset or stressed too much. Have fun. -check your wheel lug nuts for tightness once a week. -get a piece of sandpaper to clean your ignition sensor once a week for your furnace/hot water tank. KZread it, couple screws to get it loose. This is a main cause for a fridge not firing up. Too much carbon on the sensor. -when your backing him up with the RV, use your phones to talk -keep an outdoor kit readily available on an outdoor storage area for every time you park. (Bug spray, flashlight, sewer disposable gloves, lighter, headlamp, etc. -Most importantly, ENJOY!!!! Next thing you know you’ll be 50 and looking back on how fun this all was 😊

    *Newly Updated Safety Suggestions: for RV lifers, Campers, Hikers, Explorers, Nomadic Life, and Travelers* I just happened to see your channel, and others similar channels recently, and I think that you, and others sharing their actual reality, and some have expressed some of the up, and down sides to van, RV, or vehicle living. Although, I just noticed your KZread channel, and other similar channels, displaying van living. I just wanted to remind everyone to Aware Be of your surroundings and Alert, I just posted this anyway to help anyone who may benefit from these suggestions I believe that it is very helpful, and beneficial to others who may be thinking about this type of living without actually thinking through, about the some of the realistic problems that could occur with vehicle or van living etc... People need to know what the up sides there are, as well as some of the down sides of vehicle living. I believe this channel, and other channels have been informative to others, including myself. Although, I am NOT living in a vehicle or anything like this. I feel that you , and others KZreadrs sharing this with your viewers will be very helpful. I wish you ALL the Best with your traveling endeavors. I shared this with several other travelers, as I watched their KZread channel for the first time, as yours, and I shared with them this information that may be helpful to you as well to others. Therefore, I would also like to suggest a few Safety tips, and items that may help you, or others in your viewing audience. Although, you may have knowledge of this already, I am not sure, so I hope this will be helpful to you, others or someone. *Keep a Extra working cellphone with you or in your vehicle. You can purchase inexpensive phone with a very low monthly price between 25, 35, 45, dollars a month with unlimited data and text, and some have Nationwide coverage Do your research for the best fit for you Consider Carrying Several Extra portable cellphone phone chargers, and cables. Consider theses items: *Mini portable power charging station. I have also seen outdoor portable solar powered power stations, that can be recharged from sunlight this may be very useful to have, to power your devices. *Invest in a Cellular signal booster for outdoor use, and camping situations to boost or amplify your cell signal and reception. Consider also the purchase of a WiFi signal booster to also boost your WiFi signal. Research to see what you prefer. *Very Inportant: Invest in a SOS distress electronic signal device, this a kind of device can send out a distress signal with your exact location. There are various types of these devices, and including devices that can be used when boating, or camping situations. *Some have emergency Strobe lights SOS signaling with location alerts, and location updates that can be sent to your family, and emergency first responders. Some can be synchronized with your smart watch or phone. There are some satellite SOS texting messaging, locator devices that will send messages with your phone even if there isn’t any cellular signal, or WiFi. With this device your can still text, and communicate with others in a emergency satellite transmission. Check online, for various emergency SOS products, some are small to fit in the palm of your hand. You can check online, and on Amazon, research what SOS devices will be a good fit for you. *Mini portable vehicle battery jumper charger *vehicle battery jumper cables *Vehicle Jumper cables *PLEASE BE AWARE* that in the *WINTER* *vehicle *Batteries fail* many times in very cold weather conditions. Vehicle batteries drain more often in the winter months. Please Keep a vehicle battery portable jumper pack, this is a device that can jumper or boost your vehicles battery yourself without another vehicle. If you have a older battery in your vehicle, Please have it tested or replace it, and consider the purchase a new vehicle battery with higher Cold Cranking Amps rating. Be Aware that Sometimes even a battery that is a few years old can fail in the Winter months, and extremely cold temperatures. Some alternatives to Winter Camping, Travelers, Explorers, etc, if you can find a Warmer Climate Location to stay during Extreme Winter months, or stay with family for a few weeks. Another alternative is renting somewhere although this can probably get expensive. What ever you decide Be Careful, Alert, Aware, Safe, and Informed... *Keep a Fire extinguisher handy *Smoke detectors, and Carbon monoxide detectors can be helpful Keep a First Aid kit with Bandages, antiseptic, and other first aid necessities etc. and good vitamin supplementation, and fluids that promote hydration. Consider installing; *Mounted Dashboard camera front and rear possibly. *Exterior vehicle mounted camera for the front, rear, and both sides of your vehicle. Some can be activated by motion, Including spotlights. *Interior vehicle cameras *Flashlights or pluggin spotlights *Portable spotlights, and lanterns Keep a few whistles around with you, and in your vehicle possibly in your vehicle’s center console *Keep a Sound horn, for hiking this can service, as a deterrent, and a emergency signal alert for others. *A set of long range 2 way radios, walkie talkies, to communicate with others during trips, some have 100 mile radius keep for emergencies, you can keep with you when hiking. Use your own discretion regarding the use carrying of any weapons. Don’t forget to bring Bear Spray Pepper spray Where is allowed Purchase a couple canisters just in case and keep it with you If you own a drone you can use it to survey your area for animals etc. However, Please Be Safe and Beware of your Surroundings. Stay Alert, and Be Safe even when stopping at Rest stops, Truck Stops, and conducting your various tasks. Keep in often contact with your family, friends etc. Keep up with the latest Weather Updates, beware and prepare for unexpected Weather events and conditions. *VERY IMPORTANT* *WINTER AWARENESS* I would suggest *NOT* to travel to locations without internet, or cellular service in the Winter, the reason is that weather conditions can change very quickly, and you absolutely DO NOT want have a vehicle break down, or malfunction, or emergency, and not have the availability to communicate, and contact your family, and or, emergency road assistance, or emergency services. Please Keep in mind that even in area where there is cellular service and internet, in the Winter sometimes there are ice storms that may occur and this can cause Power or Electrical failures, until utilities crews repair lines. *Your Safety is Important* *PLEASE BE AWARE* that in some extreme cold temperatures that vehicle fuel lines could Freeze and causing a vehicle to not start. Just in case Keep your gas tank filled, which helps prevent vehicle fuel lines from freezing. Keep gas or fuel line additive, or gas line antifreeze, that is rated to use okay for your vehicle. Check with your a certified mechanic and your vehicle owners manual, and or dealer repair facility to inquire what is best to prevent freezing gas tank and lines in extreme cold. In the Winter even your bottled Water can freeze so Be Careful and Plan ahead. *Safety is Paramount* *Your Life is Important* *You want to Live to Travel another Day* *So Be Safe* *Stay Alert* *Keep your vehicle gas filled* Don’t ride on fumes, or on Empty. Don’t chance your Safety by running your vehicle fuel or gas too close to Empty. Fill it up anyway, it will save you alot of time, and headache later on. Remember to keep up on routine maintenance, check your tires for wear, keep up with your fluids for your vehicle, like oil levels, antifreeze coolant, Please carry extra (oil)(washer fluid), (brake fluid), (antifreeze). You will need extra Winshield Washer fluid because of the ever changing Weather conditions, dustly roads, especially in slushy wet roads. *WINTER AWARENESS* In the winter consider purchasing and deicing Windshield Washer Fluid, for the much colder weather conditions. Furthermore, you will need extra Windshield Washer Fluid, Because you will Be driving more often in dusty, dirty, windy, and varying weather conditions. Your windshield will gather dust and debris from long term driving. Also, Remember Because you are on the road riding for sometimes very long distances, and long periods of time, I would suggest investing in 2 sets of tires, and a spare, the extra set at a home base, friends or family’s house to rotate later on, also make sure that you have a spare tire in your vehicle. Check the mileage ratings on your tires they all very. Conduct visual inspections of your tires often, check for damage, wearing, air pressure, etc Keep a pressure gauge to check your tires pressure and a tire pump. Electric, Portable tire pump. Keep towing insurance to Be Safe if you ever need it. It Doesn’t cost much try to get National coverage if available, or where you will be traveling. Keep Extra financing, and savings for any unexpected issues, vehicle repairs, and overnight stays, in a emergency or if you need to rest indoors. Keep Enjoying Yourself, Keep Enjoying the outdoors, and Nature Just..Please continue to Be Positive, Safe, and Alert.. Wishing Success, Well-being and Happiness You All. God Bless You, and everyone Traveling, or living in their vehicles, Vans, RVs, Hiking etc. Please Be Safe..... God Be With You.....

    So cool! We bought an RV this year and would love to eventually travel in it full time but so far have just been using it for vacations. Ours was also an older model but we renovated it on a budget and now we are in love. Just taking the old fabric down above the windows opens up the space and modernizes it so much! You can also go for a quick fix and buy a large blanket or sheet at a thrift store and stretch and staple it over your dining benches. And tile paint for the bathroom was our savior! Floor to ceiling! You can even get dye for the paint and stencils and make any design you want 😁

    Happy for you two. Watching your video and yes, if you don't sanitize your fresh water holding tank you can get really sick. If you just take a capful of bleach and fill your tank and then drain it by running it through your faucets, shower, etc., while at the same time emptying the rest through the low point drain you should be fine. I do this before every trip. But even then we drink bottled water and only use the onboard water for showering, toilet, and dishes. Best of luck to you!

    Hi, some words on the V10 you might find helpful, I've had several and worked for a shuttle buss company in the Colorado Rockies that ran v10's in their bigger shuttles. It's good that you went with that engine, RV's are notoriously underpowered for their weight and are designed for mostly flat land and occasional hills. V10 is actually the least amount of power you'd want to have climbing up and down mountains and even then you should baby it on the climbs and mind your rpms even if it means gearing down and using flashers, keep it to 3500 climbing hills when possible in that sweet spot were you have some power but aren't revving too high. Change oil, oil and air filters religiously. But the v10 is a workhorse if you take care of it, used in a lot of fleet vehicles for that reason. Also they are plentiful for replacement and parts. 150k-250k miles is the usual lifespan for one, can go 300 though if well maintained. Might think about starting a kitty for eventual replacement, about $10k US for a swap, but worthwhile when time comes bc then you'll be good to go again for a very long time. Older v10's had problems with blowing plugs out of the block and stripping out the threads, there's a fix for it, but it's kinda a big deal, if yours are that kind and hasn't already been done climbing a mountain is the most likely time it's going to. Another thing that will impact performance is spark coils and injectors, which are pretty cheap and easy to replace, if yours are older those will give you a power gain and improve mileage bc your engine will run more efficiently.

    You may need to sterilize the RV freshwater tank, all you need is bleach and a sewer hookup to dump the tank. It would be a good idea to look into a small solar setup if you don't want to have to go for a drive to top up the batteries, even a small 200-watt system could work wonders since you will need consistent power for all of your electronics. Do not wait to get on the roof, some of the worst problems that will cause issues later are the roof seals and coating not being properly maintained. If you are in a wet climate and have a leak that you don't catch in time it will become a serious problem. Congratulations and good luck!

    Just sharing…if you use the oven, I’ve heard these older models don’t cook evenly. However, things cook evenly if you use a pizza stone. Research that theory. Also, I’ve seen some fabulous refurbished RVs on Pinterest. Good Luck !!

    We have a very large fifth wheel that we use as a home base; and a class C for traveling. We’re an older couple & even though we pulled our large 5-wheel all over the U.S.-we really like our short class C for traveling. Sold our house 7 yrs. ago-no regrets!!!!! Good Luck with ur travels! Our favorite so far is ZION!😊

    It's been fun following you two through many of the same places I've been. I turn the big 5-0 soon & I did it in reverse where i settled down & had a kid in my 20's & 30's and am now a nomad. To do it again I'd prefer your order. But we're all chasing the dragon, be it harmful like drugs & alcohol or better like fitness, travel or money. You'll probably always feel like there's something missing. That's why it's called "settling". You two are great so don't worry. Love your content. Thank you.

    G'day Lloyd and Mandy...has been a while since I posted a comment, but assure you both, I've been keeping up to speed with your move from Playa Del Carmen to your new digs in Vancouver Canada. WOW, what a city and I especially enjoyed your vlog from Granville Island, a pretty dam cool place, and your vlog from Whistler was also top notch! Getting back onto the snow boards was a bit like riding a bike, once you've mastered it, you don't really forget, great turn of foot from you both. Your RV looks pretty neat, hope you settle in and really enjoy the lifestyle. As mentioned in some of my previous comments when you were in Mexico, your presentations are ALWAYS top class, so I will continue to follow you and enjoy and "share your future"...by the way, I'm finally heading back to Bali, first time in almost 4 years following the Covid period....cheers Gaz(WA)😎

    You may want to consider buying and installing a hidden safe that fits your laptops and cameras. Doesn't have to be huge, just big enough to fit them when you're going to be gone for a bit. RVs are extremely easy to break into and are very visible targets/high value targets. Just a thought.

    When my husband was alive, we had a 24 foot camper. You had the same bed in bathroom set up. I didn’t like the bed set up too hard to get in and out for me because I wore a lake brace and I couldn’t bend my leg so the bathroom was hard to use. I’ve got a 35 year-old Toyota dolphin in the bathroom’s in the back. With the separate little shower back there.

I travelled and forgot to have children but I can look back on those places I visited and sometimes worked (not digitally of course) and I am thankful but now I am older I wish I had family to care for me. That also doesn’t always work out. Follow your heart.

    There are instructions online concerning how to treat your water tank so you can drink water from it. In case you want to try that. Its something like 1/4 cup chlorine per 50 gallons. Let the chlorine sit in the tank for a specified time and then run that water through your pipes. I did that in my RV and didnt get sick.

    Thanks for your videos... I hope you enjoy all the freedom your camper brings... particularly as travellers with having an animal. Your RV might not be your forever home, and is far from perfect and doesn't have a certain stability to it, on the other hand it can be very good for the soul, and you will have access to so many adventures, and bringing your home to distant places has numerous advantages as a traveller. If I need to watch my money, I like staying at places for longer periods.

    For me living in an RV at this stage of our life is not an option as our old female labrador, about 13 , it would be too much for her. Ben, the male 4, would be happy as long as he was with us. But living here in Tasmania, is as close to our view of paradise as we can get. 4 seasons, hot summers, cold winters with snow, Autumn and spring just beautiful and the wilderness areas in Tasmania are magic, but we travelled a lot when we were younger. X We can now live through people life yourselves and see things we could never afford to see. Thank you.
