 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 airstream 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 airstream 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 airstream 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 in a 16-foot airstream 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 airstream 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 sit 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 RV or dysfunction? Well, you're not alone many people do 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-humper 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 gonna come over you're walking right by my window, which is also really disconcerting Good RV etiquette says that you think about your neighbor's RV with a yard around it And you don't go in that yard unless you're invited wait for people to come outside them and say hey neighbor Can I come by your 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 gonna 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 airstream 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 that I'd have you know The tongue and both heads of tires and that should be fine and the airstream 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 gonna 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 That's not a leg Oh, that looks like a leg you have me nervous there for a sec Legs one leg ready to go. I didn't realize camco made these. That's interesting. That's probably gonna 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 Does it Well good, then I got the right thing maybe So this thing is only 16 feet long, but I still would prefer not to crank it up and crank it down every time I'm going the electric route Now how's the electric part go So this doesn't have to be in there, but this is a surge protector breaker. That's nice of you It's not like a mousetrap going off in we're almost done everybody to switch here. Yeah Oh Wait a minute light shut up camera action All right, I had to find a hitch with a flatback So hopefully The propane hood will fit Survey says Hey, look at that. I did good Well, sometimes you just have to make lemonade out of those lemons That's what I tried to do come back Wednesday for an all-new video where I'm gonna 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 Oh
