Must haves for RV's

im not cool like u, i have no gauge ..just a blk sliding switch ...ill be rich 1 day like u and get a gauge...

for now yes sliding the switch to 1 side is a poors man smart gauge ...it works

Good thing to remember just saw it on another post, Hang a big sign up above the toilet saying,

NO WHITE RATS(TAMPONS) OR
BABY WIPES IN THE TOILET (BAG EM AN TAKE THEM WITH YA)

Nothing worse than unplgging your dump valve with a load of weekend eats behind it ready to ruin your day.

Well, you need a toyhauler first before you get a switch, Frank. You can afford a $2 guage. It's just like the one on your BBQ. Most toyhaulers come with them on the tanks too. It's alot cheaper then getting busy with your wife in the middle of the night and your furnace goes out.

BTW, I can make you rich too. Just put me on commision. LOL. I'm not rich, I just make the company pay for everything and write it all off. I need my Rhino for work to plow the parking lot in the winter remember??? Wink-wink. LOL

this may be the best advice -----
If you drive a chebby, make sure you unplug your trailer from your truck when you reach your destination..... you could drain your trailer batteries and kill your truck battery at the same time.

you can dis-regard this if you drive a Ford -- Ford uses a relay and cuts the circuit when you turn the key off.

at least if you kill your trailer batteries, you can then plug your truck in and charge them up enough to start your genny.

Just don't plug the Ford in and try to start the gen. It will blow a $4 fuse in the truck. Been there, done that. Let it charge a few minutes.

spare axels and CV's along with a 1/2" impact and various other tools.....

WHEEL CHOCKS!!!! I have 2 nice dents in the bed of my truck from my 5er falling on it when it slid off the 6X8 pieces of wood I put under the front feet.
I was backing up to hook up, barely bumped the trailer, the trailer rolled off the leveler blocks under the tires, causing the front feet to side off their blocks, causing the front end of the 5er to rest itself on my bed rails.
Also get something to put under the jacks, those feet will sink in the sand. I use 6X8's you can get cut-off's pretty cheap at Home Depot
I like the wheel chocks that go between the tire = less rocking at the wheels.

also, when your first set of batteries die, switch over to 2 golf cart batteries ran in series. they fuggin rock!!!
bbq

coffee maker
trash can

and, if your trailer is a tag, an electric tongue jack IS the way to go!!!
Air bags for your tow vehicle
A sway bar (if it's a tow trailer)
Don't forget riding gear and your rides...
Go buy some extra fuses, the self resetting type, 30amp, 50 amp, like $5.00 each. Find out where everything is routed on your trailer. Find the little "hidden" fuses and switches and such. Makes it much easier to find at night in the dirt, when you have already found it during the day, at home. Make a diagram of where stuff is and keep it with the electrical stuff. Get some extra switches also, never know when they will fail.

Done it again
Thats a shit load of stuff to bring.... I can barely remember to bring clean underware , I couldn't imagine bringing all that clutter. I know it's not your list but whoever wrote it probably spends 10 hours going through a checklist for a weekend trip. I feel sorry for his wife and kids lol. Do any of you guys lower your stabilizer jacks? I don't! I'm usually only in my trailer when I'm taking a shit or sleeping I couldn't give a crap if it shakes a little.

Lysol wipes and Swifter for cleaning up after a good leaf blow!
