#14: RVers Calling it Quits? We Don’t Think so AND Here’s Why!

Sal sitting on a RV toilet#16: Replacing the RV Toilet Seal

Replacing the RV Toilet Seal – RV toilets are very different than residential ones. The one thing they both have in common, however, is the water barrier that prevents stinky sewer fumes from escaping into your bathroom. Trust me, you want to keep that water barrier in place! But if your RV toilet isn’t holding water, then you might need to replace the flush ball seal. Follow along as I replace the seal for our Thetford Aqua Magic Style II RV toilet in our Airstream Flying Cloud 23FB. You’ll be surprised at how easy it is!

#17: Full Time RVing and Protecting You and Your Property

Full time RVing and protecting you and your property! That’s what this one is all about. Why? Because there seems to be a false narrative surrounding the safety of the full time RVing lifestyle. And while we’re not saying that full time RVing is any more dangerous than other lifestyles, we ARE saying it’s not exempt from crime as it’s sometimes portrayed. As a matter of fact, full time RVers can sometimes be even more susceptible to crime because of the very nature of the lifestyle. So, join the discussion as two Ex-Cops share some RV Travel Safety Tips to help keep YOU, and your belongings, safe while out there on the road.

Sal sitting in front of a campfire#28: Campfire Safety

Did you know that 90% of forest fires are man made? Care to take a guess at how many campfires are left hot and burning by campers on a daily basis? Well, as Camp Hosts who have become the first line of defense against this hazard, we can tell you that number is much higher than you probably think. Whether campers are improperly preparing their site for a campfire, using wood too large for the fire ring, have become complacent, or just don’t know how to safely extinguish a campfire, these mistakes are hazardous and place the lives of those within their campsite, and the campground, the forest and its wildlife in danger. In this video, we’re going to cover all that to better help campers safely enjoy a campfire. Because let’s be honest… camping just isn’t the same without a campfire!
