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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Your headlights look like they would blind oncoming traffic!

Those headlights are terrible if your in the car coming towards you at night

Really helpful thank you.
Can’t believe the USA still has plastic bags. Stores here in Europe they are banned we have to take our own bags for shopping.

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.

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...

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.

As long as your headlights are “aimed” properly. Otherwise your nice bright new lights are blinding oncoming traffic.

Fans will blow mosquitoes away from you.

You don’t need a wisk! Chopsticks or a fork work too.

I love our battery powered fans. Really helps keep air moving around.

This was a great list. Followed your links to get a few items. Our “weird accessories is a shoe hanger that hooks over the bathroom door to store frequently used items like the dog leash, flashlight, lighters, etc. Very convenient.

Gotta love Alaska, just chillin' under the slide!
I love your dog!

Love the water thief!!

T-Rex tape is also great. It's similar to Gorilla, but it's cheaper and stronger.
