When you travel and use water from a different source on a regular basis you don’t know anything about the quality of the water you are using or drinking. And you hear more and more about what is in our drinking water and how it can impact our health. It is not uncommon for drinking water to have contaminants, pesticides, and microbes, and our treated water is known to include potential carcinogens. That answers why we should filter our drinking water, now let’s talk about How to do it. One option is to purchase an inline water filter that connects directly to the incoming water supply and the RV drinking water hose. This is a quick and easy way to filter all of the water going in to the RV. Looking for a full List and right up on the top Inline Water Filters CLICK HERE full-time rv

There are a number of reasons to make sure that your RV is properly leveled. A leveled RV is more stable and less likely to rock and sway in the wind, making it a safer home away from home for you and your family. A leveled RV also helps to ensure that everything inside of it works properly. If your RV is not leveled correctly, you may find that your refrigerator door won't close easily or may open unexpectedly. For comfort when sitting or sleeping inside the RV, you'll appreciate the time you took to level it properly. Sitting on an angle or feeling like you're going to roll out of bed isn't anyone's idea of comfortable accommodations Leveling your RV isn't difficult For a complete List of Leveling Blocks and chocks CLICK HERE, and with these tips, you'll be leveling your RV easily in no time.    How to Level the RV

Your RV needs to be leveled in two ways: right to left and front to back.

You want to start with right to left first.

1. Once you have your RV parked in your spot, place the bubble level on the floor inside the RV. This will show you which side needs to be raised up.
2. Outside the RV, make a mark in the dirt behind the tire that needs to be raised up.
3. Pull the RV forward and place your leveling blocks in front of the line you made. Back the RV into place so the tire is on top of the leveling blocks.
4. Check the level again and repeat steps 2 and 3 until the bubble is in the center of the level. Stack up more leveling blocks if you need more height. 

Leveling front to back is easy.

1. Bring your jacks down far enough so that you can unhitch your vehicle and pull it forward.
2. Once you have the vehicle unhitched, go inside and set up your bubble level to see which end needs to go up.
3. Using your jacks, raise the end of the trailer that needs to be brought up. Check your level for accuracy. Continue this until the bubble is in the center of the level.

There are multiple ways that your RV's electronics might fry while connected to power at a park or any type of plugged-in location.

You can have a power surge, you can have an incorrectly wired power pedestal, and you can also suffer major damage from low voltage.

If you don't have a surge protector for RV, you may have damage one day. A LOT of damage. Let us explain. Power Surges

When too much power comes through the wires to your RV, it can cause damage to some or all of your electronics and wiring. The most commonly known type of power surge comes from lightning. This causes an extremely large voltage spike that will really test an RV 'surge protector'. The best way here to avoid any potential damage, even if you have an RV 'surge protector', is to unplug until the threat has passed.

Still, a surge protector or EMS should protect your RV. However, your power protection device might end up fried, causing you to need to purchase a new one.                                                                                                                Incorrect Wiring

Yes, this does happen. It could be that some wiring had just been modified, or something could have come loose or disintegrated.

Electricity is very complicated. All it takes is an electrician with just enough lack of knowledge to do the job incorrectly, and you're screwed.

We have heard stories from the wrong voltage being put in, to electricians thinking that your RV 30-amp plug is the same wattage as a dryer plug.

It's NOT. The dryer uses 240 volts. Your RV runs on 120 volts.

NEVER try to plug your 30-amp RV into a dryer outlet in a standard home. It will guarantee you a hefty bill in replacing your electronics.

This lack of knowledge about RV's on an electrician's part can set you back by thousands of dollars in replacing everything electrical in your RV.For a Complete list of Top Surge protectors CLICK HERE.

Your RV’s water system is so helpful, and essential, in making your camping adventure a self-contained one. Thanks to this network of pipes in your motorhome, you’re not reliant on communal bathrooms or kitchens when you’re at a campsite — you’ve got everything you need right there in your RV. Unfortunately, like just about any other part of your RV, the water and plumbing system can fall victim to problems from time to time. However, knowing a little bit about your RV’s water system, especially how and when to use an RV water pressure regulator, can save you a lot of hassle, and more than a few headaches when you’re out at a campsite and trying to have fun. Here’s a little bit about what this important little device does, along with some helpful information for troubleshooting some common RV water problems. What Your RV Water Pressure Regulator Does Campground water pressure can be really high, and sending such highly pressurized water into your RV can spell disaster for your plumbing. An RV water pressure regulator is a small, but useful, device that keeps the psi, of the water entering your RV, down to a safe level. How low should you go? Well, even though the plumbing in newer RVs can take up to 100 psi, the recommended water pressure for newer RVs is around 60 psi, and 50 psi for older ones.

Of course, some campgrounds already have the pressure regulated on their water source, and if that’s the case, you may not need to use a water pressure regulator for your RV. To see if you need one or not, a good piece of equipment to have and use is an RV water pressure guage, to check the psi at the campground. Some regulators actually do have a gauge built in, but that’s not what you want to use in this situation, as that gauge will show you the water pressure after it passes through the regulator, not what’s actually coming out of the campground source. For a full list of water pressure regulaters CLICK HERE.

RVs come with all kinds of monitors and sensors.  Fresh water and sewage tank levels, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide sensors, battery monitors.  Unfortunately, one thing is missing on most RVs, a propane tank monitor.

If you aren’t lucky enough to have a rig with a factory propane monitor this process probably sounds familiar to you:

• Remove your tank cover (or open the storage bay)
• Disconnect the line to the tank’s valve
• Un-hook the bracket or tank clamp
• Lift the tank and guess how full it is

If you have done this a few times you know its’ not much fun, and unless you know the empty weight of your tank and can set it on a scale.  You are still just guessing at exactly how much propane is left.

Think for a minute about everything in your camper that runs on propane.

• Furnace
• Water Heater
• Refrigerator
• Stove
• Oven
• Outdoor Grill

Being able to monitor the level of your RV’s propane tanks quickly and easily is a great way to avoid being stuck, unable to use any of those appliances.  So, how can you tell how much propane is left in the tank?

Whatever you want to call it, having the best RV sewer hose is essential It's a dirty and necessity chore to have to dump your RV's black and grey tanks. Always in fear of doing it wrong or of something GOING wrong. Ask pretty much any experienced RVer​ if they have an RV sewer hookup horror story, and you can just about guarantee that they have one.

This is the perfect reason to have a high-quality RV sewage hose-best-case-scenario- one that is the least likely to NEVER let you down in any way. for a complete List and wright up on our top RV Sewer Hose Picks CLICK HERE.

If you camp a lot and find yourself staying for an extended amount of time in a campsite without a sewer connection, an RV portable waste tank might be the solution for you. A waste tank allows you to dump your gray and black holding tanks without moving your entire RV to the dump station. For a complete List and wright up on our Top Portable Tank Picks CLICK HERE.

What’s the best deep cycle battery for my RV? Is one of the most frequently asked questions on FulltymeRV. To answer this, we’ve reached out to the large community of full-time RVers to learn which deep cycle batteries they use and why, and to find out about their battery replacement experiences. The deep cycle battery is the most important component in any RV’s electrical system. It provides the juice to run all of your RV’s appliances and electronic devices when there is no 110-volt power supply. Without power from deep cycle batteries, there is no way to pump water into your RV’s fresh water tank, no way to run your electric fan or Refrigerator during the hot summer months, and also no way to run your Furnace to keep your RV warm over the winter. After all, everything in your RV needs electricity to function and the deep cycle batteries system is your RV’s heart and soul. To find our top best picks of Deep Cycle Batteries CLICK HERE.

If you enjoy boondocking for days at a time in sunny locations (like the Southwest), then a permanently installed RV solar system could provide the energy independence you're looking for. However, you won't get a return on your solar investment if you stay primarily in full-hookup RV parks and campgrounds. You might instead keep a portable solar panel kit on-hand for those occasional boondocking or no-hookup situations. Having Electrical Independence Is Awesome! Solar Has Greatly Enhanced Our RVing Experience And Expanded Our Camping Options. My wife and I enjoy the freedom of traveling and camping without hookups and have been powering our RV from solar for a couple of years now. We don't use power-hungry appliances for extended periods and don't have a residential refrigerator. Our mid size off grid solar system and battery bank provides enough energy to power our RV indefinitely as long as there's sun. Our large AGM battery bank has enough reserve capacity to power our RV for at least a couple days without being recharged. In fact, we rarely plug in anymore.

Pure sine wave power inverters produce extremely clean, reliable, power like you would typically receive from your utility company. Some items must be run off of a pure sine inverter, otherwise it may not run the way the manufacturer intended that device to run. Some examples of applications that should be run off of a pure sine wave inverter are microwaves, key machines, breathing machines, CPAP machines, laser printers, digital clocks, sensitive electronics. PSW power inverters also allow motors to run cooler compared to a non-pure sine (ex. modified sine wave or MSW) and start easier as well. full-time rv rv parts and accessories essentials

There are 3 types of generators, each with its pros and cons. If you're replacing an existing generator, it's smart to stay with the fuel type that you've been using with your old one. However, if you're adding a generator to your RV for the first time, then take this information into consideration before making your decision on fuel type. Base the size of generator you buy on the wattage of your RV's A/C unit. This appliance will use up the most power, so it just makes sense to look here. However it's the starting wattage that you need to focus on, not the running wattage. Just like when a runner takes off after the starter pistol has been fired in a race, he surges ahead and then levels off at a nice consistent speed so he can go the distance. It's the same with a generator. When you flick the A/C on, there's a surge of power to jump start it, but then it levels off and runs smoothly until you turn it off. Choose a generator with a wattage that is at the high end of the starting watt range for your A/C. So if your A/C has a starting watt range of 2500-2800W, choose a 3000W generator. Also look on the stickers of the other appliances you'll be using and add them up according to ones you might be running at the same time to get a good idea of more wattage requirements that you'll have to consider.
