We take on common RV myths and misconceptions, sharing what we've learned from years on the road and separating fact from fiction for new and experienced RVers alike.
• Towing myths are often contentious but come down to knowing your specific numbers rather than general rules
• You don't necessarily need a dually to tow a fifth wheel—it depends on the weight and your truck's capabilities
• Half-ton trucks can safely tow travel trailers when properly matched and equipped
• Weighing your RV setup using CAT scales provides crucial real-world data about your actual weights
• Never leave your black tank open at full hookups unless you want to create a dreaded "poo pyramid"
• The ice cube black tank cleaning trick doesn't work—ice melts too quickly to provide meaningful cleaning
• New RVers don't need to buy every accessory before their first trip—focus on the essentials
• Campground WiFi is generally unreliable, and no booster can fix fundamentally poor internet
• For reliable connectivity, redundancy across multiple systems (cellular, Starlink, WiFi) is key
