Yeah, I'm back in the fifth wheel and I'm standing in front of a big empty refrigerator because the day that I came back here I turned it on and it broke and the part that I need to fix this is astronomically expensive but that's not all. On top of that this bonehead ripped both of the back stabilizing legs off the air stream. So today I'm going to have to deal with repairing both of those things. This is RV life. Hey everybody it's Robin with Creativity RV and yes I am standing in my fifth wheel. I had to come back to Colorado because I got jury duty and after that I have some appointments they're going to keep me here for about a month or two and then I'm headed for the East Coast. So if you haven't subscribed already please do so ring the little bell and you can see me in those travels but when I came home I knew that I was going to have to deal with the leg issue on the air stream. I'm going to tell you about that first because I was a total rook and I made a rookie move. I was only in the air stream for about two months and I was fleeing a camping spot where there were some creepers. I'm going to tell you all about it and didn't put my back legs up, drove and of course ripped them off. Okay so if you're new to my channel I have a fifth wheel. It's been in storage because I used to be a couple and now I'm a solo. So as a solo camper full time I started heading out and is 16 foot air stream. Now I've never pulled a trailer and every time I switch rigs it's like I'm brand new all over again and that was the case with this rig too but the reason that I was in such a hurry to pack up camp and leave this camping spot is a funny story. So I'm going to tell you about it. If you're one of my patrons you heard about all of this in real time and they got the really juicy details but I'm going to give you the public version right here. So two three months into my air stream life I went down to one of my favorite places to camp. It's called telephone cove in Nevada which is just outside of Laughlin. Now if you Google telephone cove it's going to take you to the wrong place. Telephone cove is down this really bumpy road and once I got down there I was happy to see that only about a third of the potential camping spots were taken but the weather was really bad and windy so I didn't get to stay outside that much and neither did anybody else and that's probably why it was so empty. Well one day I go outside on the first good day and there's a couple of dudes next to me one that has a class A and somebody that was visiting him and they said oh hey we were wondering now you know who was in there and you sure do keep to yourself and I said yeah I'm going to go ahead and refer to these two guys for the rest of this video as creeper number one and creeper number two. Creeper number one was just you know a POS. Creeper number two started to come over to me to warn me about creeper number one that was the reason in the beginning but then he just kept showing up and he left for a little bit and he came back and parked right up behind me like right behind my back window and he must have knocked on my door four times a day at night all the time and you know I give him a pass in some ways because when I was brand new on the road I didn't know what camping etiquette was and if you don't know then here's a word from our sponsor. Hi this is Robin from Creativity RV. Do you suffer from our veer dysfunction? Well you're not alone many people deal but there is something you can do about it by learning basic RV etiquette. When you're camping don't leave your trash everywhere don't put broken glass and bullets and aluminum cans and dirty diapers. That's right in the fireplaces. If you're not camping by yourself in the middle of nowhere be sure to keep your dog on a leash. I don't know you and you don't know me and I know you think your dog is friendly but we don't need to have that discussion if you keep your dog on its leash. If you're boondocking in the middle of nowhere and there's a big wide open space don't pull right up behind me and be a bumper hamper. It's like sitting in a movie theater where all the chairs are empty and you sit right next to me and if you're in a beautiful space where other people might want you get some sleep at night or look at the stars don't have so many lights outside your RV that you look like a Walmart parking lot and this is a big one. Don't go and knock on somebody's door unless they're expecting you. I think most of us don't want people to do that even in houses these days. It's a little bit weird. People usually text or they call first. Well in an RV you're in this tight little enclosed space so when somebody just comes up and knocks on your door I don't know about you but it makes me jump out of my skin. Plus if you're going to come over you're walking right by my window which is also really disconcerting. Good RV etiquette says that you think about your neighbors RV with a yard around it and you don't go in that yard unless you're invited. Wait for people to come outside and then say hey neighbor can I come by and visit and I bet they say yes. So yeah I was over the creepers I was ready to move on and I knew that if I wasn't all packed up right at dawn the guy behind me would have seen my lights on he would have run outside and so I packed up the night before and the next morning the only thing that I had to you know pick up I thought was my starlink and you know make sure I was hooked up okay and go and that morning I thought okay Robin slow down. You're going to miss something and I went through my checklist I thought and did everything I needed to do and then right as the sun started to come up I left that camping spot. It wasn't until I got to my next destination that was about 20 miles away that I even realized that I had not brought up the back stabilizing legs. My air stream 16 foot bambi was attached to my car and I had only ever put out the legs when I detached from the car and so in my mind because I was attached to the car the legs weren't down my bad won't do it again but I remember when I got to the beach I was pretty level but I thought you know it's sand here so maybe I'll just put down the back legs because you know then I'd have you know the tongue and both sets of tires and that should be fine and the air stream jacks are really tucked up underneath so when it was dark I didn't even see them I did a walk around in my bed so they totally ripped off and I knew that I was going to have to fix that when I got here yesterday my good friend Paul and I got underneath my rig and really took a good look at these mangled back legs each leg has three bolts and it turns out that one of the legs had a bolt that ripped out of the aluminum that's underneath and so we're going to have to tap the bolt or go with a bigger bolt or do something that I've never done before. Luckily I have good friends around here that are going to help me do it. Please let this be the legs because really I think it's weird it close to the camera. Uh oh that's not a leg. Oh that looks like a leg. You have me nervous there for a sec. Right. Legs. One leg ready to go. I didn't realize Kimco made these that's interesting. That's probably going to be you know even if my friends install it you know without charging me you know maybe 500 bucks for the for the two legs and while I'm at it I'm thinking about getting an electric tongue jack because that's the harder part to crank. Okay Wayne's opening the box with my oh look at that. It looks like a electric wing. Does it? No it's an electric jack. Well good then I got the right thing maybe. Yes. It has a fun bag and a little squid. So this thing is only 16 feet long but I still would prefer not to crank it up and crank it down every time. Let's go on the electric route. Now how's the electric part go? So we're going to run wires and cables back over here to your battery. This will go under and come out right here. I like how this is turning out. So this doesn't have to be in there but this is a surge protector breaker. What's nice of you? I like a mouse track going off. We're almost done. Everybody to switch here? Yeah. Switch. Hold on. It goes down. Oh. Oh. Wait a minute. Light. Shut up. Camera action. All right I had to find a hitch with a flat back. So hopefully the propane hood will fit. Survey says. Hey look at that. I did good. Well sometimes you just have to make it lemonade out of those lemons. That's what I tried to do. Come back Wednesday for an all-new video where I'm going to show you my heinously expensive refrigerator repair and the new refrigerator gadget. I will not be without in my RV life. If you like this video I've got hundreds of others in my playlist. I'll see you guys Wednesday and the next Sunday again with an all-new video. Until then everybody out there have happy travels and be free.
