Top 5 RV Tips (& More!) We Learned in 2025 (Avoid Costly Mistakes!)

😎Most RV problems we saw in 2025 came down to the same five mistakes—and almost all of them were avoidable.

After another full year of traveling, troubleshooting, inspecting, and talking with RV owners across the country, we’re breaking down the RV habits and decisions that caused the most damage, frustration, and unnecessary expense.

In this video, we cover:
*Why tire pressure and lug nut torque are often ignored (and why that’s dangerous)
*Holding tank mistakes that create clogs, odors, and sensor issues
*RV accessories that are money traps vs ones actually worth buying
*How to size your battery system realistically
*Why an EMS surge protector isn’t optional anymore

These aren’t internet myths — they’re issues we saw again and again across campgrounds and service calls in 2025.

If you RV full-time, part-time, or are just getting started, this recap can help you avoid expensive lessons in 2026.#rvdiy #viair #rvtanks #rvbattery #powerwatchdog #surgeprotection #rvlifestyle #rvliving #travellife #rvtravel #fulltimerv
