How To Hook Up an RV

Connecting an RV to full hookups at an RV park or campground isn't too difficult, but if you've never done it before, this quick tutorial will get you started. Even if you've been RVing for years, you might pick up a quick tip or two to improve your routine.

For example, do you spray disinfectant on your campsite's water spigot before you connect your water hose? If not, you will from now on after watching this.

We love boondocking (camping without RV hook-ups), taking full advantage of our ability to live comfortably off the grid for extended periods. But there's something wonderful about taking a regular shower vs a navy shower, microwaving dinner without firing up the generator and watching TV late at night without depleting your house batteries.

These luxuries require hooking up in a campground. When it comes time to connect to water, sewer and electric, following a few standard procedures can make your stay a better one.



We don't pretend to be experts on any particular RV topic, and mostly know about maintaining our own rig. But many systems are the same on different RVs. The advice we give works well for us, but be sure to consult a professional technician if you're unsure about working on your own RV.
