In this video, I review 20 must-have items for new RV owners! When I first got into camping, I wish I would have watched a video like this.

Septic safe toilet paper breaks down well and is a lot cheaper than RV toilet paper. I know from experience that everyone should carry at least an extra fifty feet of electrical cable. I don’t know about State Parks but here in Canada in Provincial Parks we’ve been on sites where we needed almost all of our one hundred feet of cable.
Thank you
Pressure regulator goes on the faucet, not the RV. Put a 90 degree brass fitting on the trailer to relieve stressing the hose connection on trailer. In the sun the hose will blow before the pipes in the RV.
Ticks,Alcohol.Mosquito spray
Flashlights, lighters, rec gas for generator, golf carts quads etc rope always, axe/hatchet/splitter, shovel was mentioned I think l. Hammocks are awesome.
Keeping a water filter in my RV saved my family so much on bottled water. With 7 kids we go through water like you wouldn’t believe… but if it was up to them they’d be drinking nothing but cola 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you! Just got my first camper and have no idea
Great vid. You missed #1 – Coffee Maker.
Best advice I can give is not to buy one! They are all junk
One to add is a laminated list of setting up/breaking down the camper at the sight.
our cat is 20 lb he’s not overweight do you see many cats out there
What do you connect your battery charger to? I ask because if you have power for it, shouldn’t shore power charge up the battery for you?
Change the white hose to a shrinking hose.. They work just as well and they take up a lot less space. And use a water pressure regulator with a guage. That way you can set the pressure you need.
Thank You 👍. I enjoyed this video very much. I read every comment. Some really great advice and insite.
I go RV Shopping tomorrow! 🦋
Lol, you got a nice hitch, landing gear block, tool set, air compressor, leveling blocks, wheel chocks……all this nice equipment and tools and then……..that POS bottle jack…..lol
I haven’t purchased my camper yet, but I am already building my Amazon wish list.
You are so kind and have done a great video. As a newbie I am grateful for all info. Sorry some people are just nasty!
Great info ❤❤. Just bought my first camper from my buddy. 1970’s fleetwood prowler. His pops kept it covered and did his best to maintain it over the years. Solid deal for 800$. I parked on my new 2 acre property while I develop my land and build a house. I also scammed myself and bought a new Coleman thank god I dodged that bullet. 😅
🚐 Great stuff! We recently shared our top picks for RV parts and accessories. If you’re looking for some new ideas, give it a look. 🌟
Do not buy RV toilet paper there are videos out there showing you how they never break up like they say it does. The videos actually show Scotts RV to be the worst toilet paper for not breaking down. There are many videos on this and the RV toilet paper costs a lot more and works the least https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceCdXandlLU
The first thing you need is a good set of tools. Proceeds to show us his shit set of tools.
good comment because you never know
Good video.
9 years, and all I use to level is wood. I’m always looking for replacements. The best is when I dig down an inch or two on opposite side
A 55 gallon drum of Deep Woods Off.
Crank handle for scissor jacks. Also good for back up if yours are electric. I’m going with a 3/4" socket, 2′ socket extension and impact driver for less effort to raise and lower my jacks. I would also add flashlights and batteries to your list
So sorry someone has convinced you to use RV toilet paper. It is a huge waste of money. Any septic safe toilet paper will work just fine. You have a holding tank in your camper, not a septic tank. The reason you should use septic safe toilet paper only is that it will break down, just like the RV stuff. Unless you are using a portable potty, the septic safe toilet paper, using three seconds to hold down the flusher after use, will work just fine and it will be safe to dump it into the septic system wherever you dump your tanks. Just flush your black tank after every dump. Flush a couple of times leaving at least two quarts to a gallon of water in the tank before you drive off. That water will slosh around and loosen any remaining solids and any toilet paper still in the tank, if any, will break down before you reach your next destination. I recommend using a combination of water softener (Calgon or equivalent) mixed 50/50 with a disinfectant (Pine Sol or equivalent). Our one gallon of this mixture in the gallon of water after you dump and flush your black tank and you will never have a problem with your black tank stopping up or smelling bad.
Filter should go at camper so you don’t run filtered water through a dirty hose. Filter water closest to usage.
Thanks for this. We’re considering the idea, and you have been very helpful.

You should definitely up grade your extension. Cord and plug. That orange cord i is too light . N RV owners don’t go cheap on electric cords and get a good surge protector.
“Stinky slinky “😂
WDS is not necessary in many cases and can destroy your trailer frame if the weight ratios are not correct. WDS is NOT a must have item.
Plastic wheel chalks are over rated and a waist of money in my opinion. Just get 4×4 board and cut it down into 12 inch pieces.
Thanks god bless
Thank you for an informative video! We are getting ready to take the plunge on a RV!!!
Fire extinguishers
I see that you have one, but you failed to mention the clear 45° fitting for the camper end of your sewer hose. Clear because you need to see whether the liquid is clear (clean) and when the flow is completely finished. Wouldn’t hurt to also have a 30A female to 50A male adapter in case there’s a problem with the pedestal. I’ve encountered this twice at campgrounds.
Thank you for the video and the links to the necessities we will need while RVing. It takes a lot of time to make these videos and edit them to perfection, so your time is appreciated. Thank you for giving us a heads-up on what could happen if we are not prepared. God bless, and have a great time RVing.
Great video! You have a really great list here. It’s funny that I have that same Rigid bag for my rv tools and always carry a lot of tools with me just in case… Over the years, we’ve fixed or replace water pumps, hitches, stabilizer jacks, roof antenna, replace batteries, and many other some things. I tell people you are dragging your home through a tornado, hurricane and earthquake all at the same time, expect stuff to break. I must add that you need a good way to communicate to your partner when backing up. Either cell phones (if you have a signal) or 2 way radios. Our first adventure with our new rig, we almost backed over a young girl who was playing tag with her friends. She tripped and fell behind out trailer as I was backing into a campsite. It was almost dark out and thankfully we were using 2 way radios and my wife was able to tell me to STOP. That girl’s life was saved by using 2way radios.
BIG TIME THX U BIG BRIAN YOU THE MAN!VERY HELPFUL INFO
swimming pool chlorine tablets thank me later
Some good information.
Thanks my man. Great checklist. Enjoy your season.
Hi! Thanks for the great video! I don’t see mention of a generator (yet ;), – on your list or in comments. Did I miss that… or is a generator less essential than I thought? Thanks!
A 90 degree water inlet to take the strain off the camper’s water inlet (plastic). A 1 1/16” socket for the hot water heater anode. A 1/2” breaker bar with extension to use for the hot water heater anode and lug nuts.
You don’t need RV toilet paper, just any paper that says septic safe. Actually some of those work better than the "RV" TP.
“Stinky slinky” is something I’m going to be saying all the time now 😂 thank you for the tips btw!
That hitch lock can be broken pretty easy with a pipe. I use a quick disconnect hitch unless you also have one you can’t tow my rig.
Great advice and gear ideas !
