How Trip Of Our Life cleared grass clippings off the sidewalk with BLOWZER
To mark a year on YouTube, RV family channel Trip Of Our Life ran its first giveaway: a BLOWZER X6 and a t-shirt. Mid-video, the host lifts the X6 out of its case and blows fresh grass clippings off a concrete sidewalk by the lawn.
An RV family looking back on ten years
Trip Of Our Life is Alex and Len's channel about life on the road. They started RVing in 2016, have gone through four rigs since, and for the last five years have been doing it with kids. New videos come out every Friday: projects, trips and the lessons that cost them money to learn.
This episode is a list video, "everything nobody told us when we started", and it lands on a milestone: exactly one year since their first upload. The advice is refreshingly anti-shopping. You need a water hose, a sewer hose, some dishes and bed sheets to start; buy the rest when a real problem shows up. You don't need a half-million-dollar coach or a diesel to have fun. And travelling with kids, the host warns, is not going to look like Instagram.
A first giveaway for the anniversary
To mark the year, the family ran its first giveaway: one BLOWZER X6 and a Trip Of Our Life t-shirt. The host announces it at the top of the episode with the box in hand. "Been playing around with these for a couple of days now and super love this thing," he says.
Halfway through the list he pauses for the details. Entry runs through a link at the top of the description, and one winner gets the X6 and the shirt. He thanks viewers for a year of comments and support, holds up the box and then the X6 itself, and the video cuts to a short sequence that shows what it does.
From the countertop to the sidewalk
The first shot is overhead, on a light stone countertop. Hands unzip the black carry case, the nozzles visible in the lid, and lift the X6 out.
The next is a first-person view outdoors on a bright day. A concrete sidewalk runs beside a freshly cut lawn, its surface scattered with green clippings. The host holds the X6 at arm's length, close to the ground, and sweeps it across the slab. The clippings skitter off the concrete and back toward the grass, leaving the path clean behind the blower. No nozzle is fitted; the bare barrel does the work.
Then it's back to the list.
Why it matters on the road
RV life comes with a lot of small, outdoor messes: clippings on the campsite pad, leaves on the steps, dust in the entry. A full-size leaf blower is a lot of gear to carry and a lot of noise at a campground. A handheld that charges over USB-C and lives in a drawer handles the small jobs the moment they appear, which fits this family's own rule about buying what solves a real problem.
When you clear a path, blow the debris back toward the lawn rather than onto the neighbor's site, keep your face out of the spray and start on a lower mode near loose gravel.

Questions readers ask
Can a handheld electric blower clear grass clippings off a sidewalk?
Yes, for the light clippings a mower leaves on a path or a pad. Blow them back toward the lawn and keep your face out of the spray.
Is the BLOWZER X6 useful in an RV?
It is small enough to keep in a drawer and charges over USB-C with auto-shutoff, so it can handle dust inside the rig and light debris on the steps or the campsite pad.
How strong is the BLOWZER X6?
Up to 45 m/s of airflow from a 130,000 RPM motor, with three modes: 40K, 80K and 130K RPM.
