Ruff Road RV Life
United States
Приєднався 10 січ 2018
Hi! We are Ruff Road RV Life - a newly retired couple living and traveling in our RV, Ruff Road, with our two dogs. My name is Sharon and I'm a lover of all things nature - hiking, biking, kayaking, or just looking at the leaves blowing in the wind. My husband of 30 + years is Gary, a lover of all things fishing, water, and music. Our traveling companions are our two year old half husky girls, Terra and Luna.
Our goal for this channel is to share possibilities and our experiences with others. If there weren’t others out there doing the same thing, I might still be in a high stress job with no work/ home balance and no time for my family, husband, or nature adventures. I thank all those who have shared their experiences and we are here to share that a journey to freedom is possible. It has been over one year now since we took the plunge, sold our house, our stuff and moved into Ruff Road full time. We’ve never looked back. We couldn't be happier.
“We like looking at freedom!”

What We Would Look For In Our Next Motorhome
Nice video...
Thanks, we hope you found it helpful! Merry Christmas! 😊
We use this also. It's great.
Yes! I can't believe we were out half a year before we bought it. We love it! 👍👋😊
I followed your UA-cam video, your video quality and thumbnails are very nice, but your views are low, you know why your views are low, no tags, Title, Video SEO, Channel SEO setup, resulting in no views and no new visitors. I can help you get 1 million views in 2 months. Your revenue will increase 10 times you are interested
We appreciate the offer but we're not looking for outside help at this time. Thanks, though. 👍
another nice video THANKS
We appreciate the comment. 😊
your videos are very helpful I hope you continue doing these type of videos
We appreciate that! We enjoy making them too. 😊 Thank you for the comment.
I was there in 1960.
Wow. That's impressive. We're glad we stumbled across it - very interesting place. 👍
No shade just like a parking lot.
True, there's little shade there. In the area we were in, there is some shade. 👍
No shade At all.
Our area did have some shade. The other two areas did not, though.
I sooooo appreciate this video!
Thank you! We appreciate the comment. 😊👋
Thank you for taking the time to do this! Very helpful!
You're welcome! We're glad you found it helpful. 😊
That’s Home for me live 10 miles fromLil Beaver
Oh, that's great! We wanted to stay longer. Next time! 😊👍
Love this campground but stopping by in hopes someone can help me find the owner to some mountain bike accessories found on the Harveysburg loop trail. Dec 1 .. personally i do not have a facebook page so I am trying to get any help i can to find the owner of these expensive items i would want back if they were mine.
We hope you find the owner. Have you posted on local bike forums? That might be a good start. 👍😊
@ruffroadrvlife where would I find those? Not on FB I hope. I have FB....... Thank you
I love the way all the cars look. It’ll be interesting to look back at all the crossover SUVs in 20 to 40 years from now
Oh, that would be interesting. We watch the cars and trucks as they pass, picking out our next tow vehicle. Sadly, most of them are not flat towable, but we are still looking. 😆
Great video tour and song 🎶 Our leader of the TOWN (Texas Outdoors Woman Network) Fort Worth chapter, shared this with us. Thanks 😊
Thank you! We appreciate the share and the comment. I love that you all have an outdoors women group! 💖
Lol are you enjoying your lectric ebike?
😆Yes, he is. Not one crash since that first ride! 😆👍
Was the Acura mdx a good tow vehicle? I’m looking at one
The newer ones are not flat towable. I think 2006 is the last year they are flat towable. Our 2005 has been an excellent tow vehicle. 👍
All the roads in west Virginia are swinedy
😆Yes, that is true! 👍
Are you in West Virginia
We were in October. We love West Virginia and wish we had more time there. Next year.😊
I concur with everything you said. I stayed there last year on the side directly next door to the cabin. Beautiful park. Only one thing I'd like to add. It very inconvenient to launch a kayak in the pond. It's probably a 100 yard portage from the parking lot. You could potentially park by the visitor center where the personnel park. However, for some reason they wouldn't allow it. Glad I brought my kayak cart.
Thank you for sharing this! That's a long way to drag or even roll a kayak. Good to know. 👍
Cool! Just booked for a few nights next month. Got my Sr. Citizen discount. Looking forward to some true camping weather (for FL!). Thx for sharing!😊
Oh, have fun! It should be really nice then. Happy camping! 😊👋
Thank you. Love new campgrounds that are nice and clean
We hope you get to check it out sometime. Our stay was great. 👍😊
I live in Pittsburgh and I will be camping at Bear run because of your video Thank you so much for putting out this wonderful video.
Enjoy your trip! 😊👋
❤❤❤
😊👋
Great video and great driving. I could hear the nerves in your voice. Your dogs nose is so cute 😊
Lol, and the truth is I am sooo much better than I used to be, but there's still some work to be done. Gary is a saint for having me as a passenger. 😅 Thank you for the comment! 😊👋
Outstanding. Headin' that-a-way this upcoming year.
Woohoo! Enjoy your trip. 👍😊
RV depreciation...houses appreciate
Yes, that is true. 👍It is a lifestyle choice. 😊
What month were you there?
We were there mid September. 😊
Thank you for sharing your experience! This is a lot of good information to know. I'm doing research for a story so I appreciate your tour of the campground and trails!
Wonderful! We're glad it was helpful. Best wishes on your story. 😊
Ohio campgrounds we love - East Harbor State Park and Mohican State Park. 😊
Thank you for the suggestions! We'll check them out. 😊👍
Oh no. Ours doesn't go down like that.
Yes, it's one thing we had no idea of when we bought it and we have had so many stressful close calls! 😬
Has this site been destroyed? My Father in law is looking to relocate since his site was destroyed. Need to know ASAP because he's out camper shopping today
Sadly, they were affected by the hurricane and are closed until repairs are made. From their website: Important Notice: Marion Campground Closure Due to significant damage from Hurricane Helene, Marion Campground is temporarily closed. Your safety is our top priority, and we're working hard to reopen soon. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Feel free to check back for updates or reach out if you have any questions. We can’t wait to welcome you back!
Thanks... y'all have gotten to areas we have yet to travel and are giving us great options to camp. Thanks for your inciteful reviews and observations.
Hi! 👋We hope you get to see some of these areas in the future. Thanks for the kind words, we appreciate it. 👍😊
Thanks for the ride-along and peaceful road music from Gary.
Glad you enjoyed it. We are Floridians, so we are blown away by the beautiful fall colors we are seeing. You just don't get much of that in Florida. 🍂
Thanks... We have the same problem when there is a good slope to the front in a back in site with curb stops. We have to carefully align the coach to drop in the proper place 😮.
Yes. This was probably the most difficult site with a curb in our six years of RV travel! Just a little stressful. 😬
I’m in Raleigh, NC and noticed in our neighborhood how beautiful the colors were. Mountains are always spectacular in fall.
Oh, nice! You live in a beautiful area. We just left the Mt. Airy area and it is stunningly beautiful there, too. We are slowly heading south back to Florida, but we'll enjoy it all while we can. ❤🍂🍁
That was beautiful! Loved the mountain view. The fall colors were spectacular 🍁
It was a beautiful drive. ❤🍁🍂We are soaking in all the fall colors we can before we head south, to less color.
Just found your channel watching Magnolia Ridge park an we liked what you did showing the park. Do you have stickers yet? Thanks
Hi there! Welcome to the channel. No, we don't have stickers and we are looking for a new t-shirt supplier. Future plans though! Thanks for watching. 😊👋
Kentucky has some great state parks. Nice video.
Yes, we like Kentucky! 👍😊
Ty
We are happy to share! 😊👋
Gary lies like my husband, funny white lies! haha
😂
You have great advice.
Thank you. We appreciate the comment. 😊👋
We were supposed to stay at Ft Boonesborough SP on Sep 27th to Sep 30th. That was the weekend we got 5” of rain from Helene and we cancelled. Great video!
Oh, that's disappointing. We hope you get to go another time. Happy camping! 😊👋
Hi Sharon and Gary, we were next to y’all a couple seasons ago at Gulf Coast. Just ran across this, how is the aqua magic style II holding up?
Hi there! 👋 We are loving our Aqua Magic Style II! It has not given us any problems and is much easier to clean than our Dometic! It still looks and functions like the day we installed it. Hope you both are doing well. Happy camping! 😊👋
@@ruffroadrvlifeHi! Thanks! That’s great to hear! We really want to upgrade, sounds like a good one for us!
@@ruffroadrvlifeAlso, just saw your new video, we live 10 min from Big Bone😊
Watching this after I arrived and CHOOSE MY OWN SITE lol ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻 guy gave me like 10-12 spots to choose from … great people… great place …. Close to everything!….. get the campground people to fill you in on the “ secret backroad” that will help you avoid the heavy traffic at the gate . 🇺🇸❤️✌🏻
Awesome! We didn't know about the "secret backroad". Thanks for the tip! 👍😊👋
Very informative , thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Happy travels. 😊👋
Thanks for the campground tour. Not many RV camper youtubers show the tents sites. I appreciate ya'll doing that. I'll be camping there this weekend and was curious how the tent sites were. Thanks!
Thank you! We try to show tent sites when we can. We're former tent campers so we're always checking them out. Enjoy your trip! 😊👋
The pool was closed this season (2024.) We rescheduled for next year assuming it will be open again.
Hopefully. It looks like a nice pool area from what we could see. Happy travels! 😊👋
Just outside my favorite Army post Ft. Campbell. Go 101st Airbourne! Hoorah!
Woohoo! That's cool. 😊👍👋
Hi Gary and Sharon it’s Dave, Becky and Teddy hoping your travels have been safe and the hurricane did not affect y’all! We had to cancel our Florida trip until March
Hi there! 👋Oh, that's a bummer but probably a wise decision. We have reservations in December in the panhandle and we're watching this newest hurricane to see if impacts our campgrounds. Yes, all is well with us and the hurricane did not affect us, thankfully. We are in no hurry to get back to Florida! We're just going to keep poking around here in Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, maybe Virginia and eastern North Carolina but taking the scenic route to get there. Great to hear from ya'll! 😊👋
