In this video I’m breaking down the top 10 mistakes I see RV owners make over and over again in my inspections—things that cost you money, ruin trips, and can flat-out be dangerous. I start with the big one: not using a surge protector. I can’t tell you how many horror stories I’ve heard about pedestals taking out electronics and appliances that could’ve been protected. Then we get into propane while driving (yes, I used to be guilty of this), keeping life safety items current, and why “maintenance, maintenance, maintenance” is what prevents water intrusion, appliance failures, and expensive service calls. I also talk through power mistakes like overloading your system—whether you’re boondocking on solar/inverter or plugged into 30-amp shore power. I share what I do in real life (like leaning on my Jackery and Bluetti so I don’t pop breakers when the A/C is already maxing me out). We hit manuals (I don’t enjoy them either, but you need them), black and gray tank basics (water, water, water—no poop pyramids), battery care, and why you should run your generator monthly under load. And I finish with the one that saves people from heartbreak: hire a certified RV inspector—even on brand-new rigs, I always find something.
