Are there any B class Adventure Van exhibitors or just the usual big manufactures
There will be something for everyone! They are going to have over 1,500 units at the show to tour, including adventure vans.
Looking forward to seeing you all there during our Girl Camper Pennsylvania meet-up!
My name is Melanie and I work at Spacious Skies Minute Man in Littleton, near Boston. It’s been such a great experience that we are going to work at the Savannah location for Winter and come back up to Boston next year. I highly recommend working for Spacious Skies. We are truly a family here. ❤
I’d love to head down there and visit. Savanah is beautiful. I have loved my 0:02 summer at spacious skies country oaks in new jersey
4:11 I ordered those tumblers in a bunch of colors and was disappointed and upset that the logo totally washes off after a few hand washes! They should have been laser engraved if we are spending the money on them so the logo doesn’t wash off!
That is disappointing.

New sub here! I see that you are going to be at the Hershey Show from the content creator list! We will be there as well, out M&G is Friday. I once was camping at a place where someone had a CLass A with 7 big dogs! I thought how can you even enjoy that?? They were constantly walking a dog. lol. We have 2 dogs and they are always with us but they are not barkers. We have solar but not enough to run our AC. And we have been that person at the Cracker Barrel that pulled out the generator. It was 91 and raining at night. We had to run it for the AC. Safe travels! - Mike and Shelley
I used your code and they sent the oven to me. I already bought one but now I got another for the shipping cost only.
Dang, the guitar music loop over-powers the woman who is giving us listeners a tour. She's very knowledgeable of the Shasta company's product line, yet listeners who do not have hearing impairment miss out on her advice. Maybe this recording can be redone at another time to replace this recording. What do you say, "Girl Camper?"
Thanks Lisa and Lori!. Heard Lori at Camporee. Awesome presenter, and I still learned more from this video. It’s great to have an extra layer of security when I’m out and about. Doesn’t hurt to be a bad ass when you need to be. ZAP ⚡
You need to do SEO and promotion of your channel, it will get huge views on your video, your video will spread in the world, especially your thumbnail should be attractive.
Here is my review on Rock Island: I’m gonna start this off by this is the best place I’ve ever been, if you want to make memories, then this is the right place to go😀❤️. I made a review last year also so you can go check that out too 😀 Even though it’s a little bit of work getting up to rock Island because you have to take two boats from door county, which is sometimes super fun because you make a lot of memories on the boats. (ferry to Washington Island, and a Karri (pedestrian and pet only boat) but trust me it is worth it! when you get there, There is everything from campsites to taking a day trip up to the lighthouse. But you could also go to the lighthouse if you’re camping too. The beach is amazing. You will make so much memories on the beach. For me and my cousins it’s digging massive holes. But there’s this one area on the beach that makes so much memories, we like to call it the “washing machine” because of the rough waves I like to swim in a area, well once every year, this will be my ninth year going to Rock Island State Park in Wisconsin. Keep in mind I’m only 12 years old😅 our family calls that area the “washing machine” because the rough waves, but we like a nice challenge so we like to swim in there and climb on the dangerous rocks sometimes. this is probably my sixth year going to the washing machine. while camping you can have campfires and roast marshmallows then maybe you can take a trip up to the beach to look at the stars. There is this event happening soon by the boat house, they provide telescopes to see some planets! I will be definitely going to that! We do this thing with our family goes over to different campsites because our family has different campsites (3 different families)(cousins, Aunt, and my household) we switch off nights to do dinner! And my aunt always has a remote campsite so we have to hike a little bit, which is super fun! Some stuff we see on the way there and on the way back is bats and we think they are so cool! 🤤🦇🌮 We are about to go in less than a week!!! (4 days!) we are so excited!😀 I highly recommend coming here!!!😀
I used the code and it worked! Thanks Omnia!
Are there discounts for bundle? Vehicles and trailer. Does Progressive also do homeowner policies that could also be bundled. Thank you this was informative.
Yes, about 5% discount. They also offer homeowners.
Thank you for doing this subject, very helpful. 👍👏
I got Progressive for my Camper Van but I didn’t know they covered this many items. THANKS!
I have been struggling to choose between BB Signature Hybrid and Helix Midnight. Our current RV mattress is abysmal. Thanks for your info.
Crappy Camper qualifications: Unnecessary outdoor lighting, outdoor entertainment ( tv's, radios, huge movie screens, etc), uncontrolled pets/irresponsible pet owners, talking loud on your cellphone, loud people/parties, people encroaching on my site, inappropriate black tank operations, parking outside of your specific spot, not observing quiet hours. I'll stop there. Bottom line: Be a responsible camper and be respectful and courteous to others.
So, the topics today take me back to many lessons learned in Scouting and in family camping with my dad, who is an Eagle Scout. 1. Practice the Leave No Trace principles always. Teach them to your children. Leave a campsite better than you found it. EVERYONE participates in a "camp sweep" just before departure. (Camp sweep: the group spreads out evenly across the width of the site, starting at one end, and slowly walk to the other end, carefully looking for anything that does not belong. Give a reward for the person who finds the greatest number of items and cleans them up. 2. Practice good light etiquette. If we wanted everything to be lit up like daylight all night, we might as well just stay home. Aim lights down, use dim red lights after sundown and use only the minimum light necessary for safety. Be courteous of other campers who might be enjoying the night skies and/or stargazing.
Is this going to be the Girl Camper version of Reddit's "AITA"? LOL! Actually, I've been a wee bit dismayed lately by people being critical of other's camping styles. We have to remember there is no wrong way to camp! (Unless it's rude and discourteous camping that affects your fellow campers)
I think you would have a different option if you work as a camp host. We have, and this will be our last season. People have little to no consideration. For the other campers that are around. As a camp host, I have been yelled at. Call every name in the book. Threatened! All for asking campers to follow the posted rules. The attitude of the rules does not apply to me. And it's from old and young individuals. The other one is, I have been coming here for 15 years. With this mindset, they believe they own the place. And there for they are go to do as they please. So no, it's not a camping style. It's a lack of consideration for follow campers. And those of us who try and see that you have a great time camping.
@@igowhereimtowed6839 If you read what I wrote, I 100% agree with you. Rudeness and selfish lack of consideration for others has no place in camping.
Your going to nature for a reason. To get away from every day life. No sidewalk chalk!, I dont go camping to see stuff I see every day at home. We all need to stop making excuses for people that are lazy/inconsiderate and or just have general poor behavoir. What ever happened to common courtesy? Sometimes talking to your neighbor about an issue may work out, or, no matter how calm or practical you try to be can blow up in your face. It's a gamble and certainly a individual call, so take your chances one way or the other. Let's all try to be a little more courteous and make camping a better experience for all of us.
That is the best reproduction I've seen. They'll say they're doing a reproduction but they look cold and almost space aged. This is darling!
16k for that? No thanks.
Maps don't take batteries. Having a paper map will let you know where to go even if there is no power at all.
Overlanding to me is like trying to relive the lives of settlers from the mid 19th century. Obviously you are using modern transportation, but you are still going places less traveled which would emulate the past terra firma. Everyone drives on highways but not very many actually try to drive where there are no highways.
I tried the code, but it does not work
nice video
Will you be in Tennessee at all?
Thank you for all the wonderful information ! You ladies are my inspiration 💕 rock on 🤘🏻
My husband and i so enjoy HH. I also subscribe to Girl Camper. The HH ends up being the activity and destination. So enriched our lives. Thanks
Halley was a wealth of info and Jeanne I could not agree more.… we all need a great night sleep when we are camping to be ready for all our adventures! And kudos to you for your sewing skills! I hope to get a Brooklyn mattress someday! I've heard so many great things about their RV mattresses. As an fellow UA-camr maybe they'll reach out to me?!?! 😊
Great video.. You inspire so many women which is a big dot deal. Thanks for sharing.
Just found out about GIRL CAMPER! I subscribed and ordered the magazine. I can't wait! I have a 2017 Jayco Sport 8SD and camp regularly locally with girlfriends. Love you guys. Keep on keeping on!
I wonder if the RV data includes people who are car or van campers?
Thanks 🎉❤
You girls were SO impressive in the show! These challenges were NUTS. Also, thanks for being such sincere people. You're both just true to who you are and Shelby and I loved that about you both. Can't wait to see you again. Great questions in this vid by the way. Had those boy chattin' it up!!
I am so excited to watch and see how well you both do in the competition!
Luckily I stumbled on to your video right when I was getting ready to try to fix a leak in mine. May be a dumb question but is it necessary to remove the toilet? I didn’t even think about it
Wow auegh my dreaMMmm🥲🥵🔥
Good luck Lesa! I saw the trailer for the show. Topic for later - all of the how-to's on small campers for new people (like me - learning on the go).
Appreciate the encouragement to get out there and camp.
Thank you all for the great video! Lots of good information ❤
This sounds so fun! I got a Harvest Hosts membership back in 2019 and still haven't used it because I thought of it as something to use on my way somewhere... this opens my mind up to more possibilities instead of waiting for that long road trip somewhere! And I like the idea of the additional campground discounts. Guess I better join that facebook group.
Brand new to Girl Camper and a brand new viewer. I tent camp with friends when our schedules allow and alone when they don't. Just got back from a girl's trip to Hawaii--and Lisa, you'll appreciate this--having packed everything for 1 week in a backpack! It's the experience, right Janine? Well, I'm just so happy to have found you two and the Girl Camper podcast and UA-cam channel! CONGRATS on all your events, experiences, and honors. Looking forward to Tuesdays!
Welcome to our campfire!!!
It was fun to hear how Harvest Hosts has grown - my husband and I knew the founders and we always thought it was such a great concept! We’ve spent the majority of our full-timing days outside the US and our favorite experiences were always the connections we made with the locals. It’s great to know we can duplicate those experiences here in the US. Happy Travels, Steph
We ❤ Cam!
I was excited about this trip before but now I’m even more so. The river looks beautiful. I really want to do more kayaking this time. I tried it on the salmon river last year and thought it was so much fun. Thank you Lesa for putting this together.
Grandkids are the big pull Cameron!! Just saying!! Can’t wait to take my granddaughter on a bike ride!
Nice, great info on ebikes
First! And an eBike is something I've been keen on. Woo hoo!
I've had my Omnia for 3 years and love it. The first thing I baked in it was a pineapple upside down cake for a meet up potluck. It vanished in minutes, and I'm asked to do it again every meet up. Another favorite dish is good ol' meatloaf. It always turns out well and leftovers make great sandwiches.
I'm not a good cook so having an oven style camping cooking gadget for left overs and popping in frozen foods… (I've got chicken wings on my mind) this is going to make cooking them so easy! I just ordered mine and a super BIG thank you to Lesa and Girl Camper and Omnia for the free offer! 🎉
