As a 2021 Ford F350 with the 7.3L gas engine, I guess I'll see about an extended warranty... thanks for the heads-up! BTW, we absolutely love this truck. Everything except parking it.
We LOVE Fort Wilderness! The sites are VERY well spaced apart compared to the majority of other campgrounds. We have stayed at other RV resorts and paid a similar nightly fee, but had far less amenities than you get at Ft Wilderness.
Great advice! I'll be sure to share with my husband.
Wow! Has it been five years already? Time flies.
Yes it does!
Thanks for the warning about A Court of Thorns and Roses. I’d heard of the series but hadn’t bothered to purchase any of the books yet: I’ve got a large library of yet-to-read fantasy and sci-fi books, so I tend to arrive late to the party to popular series. Now I know I can skip this one.
You’re welcome, although, it might be worth a read just to talk about how infuriating it is. I forgot to mention the blatant Hunger Games rip off. Lol. Sometimes talking about a bad book is more engaging than talking about a good one. Hahaha. But be warned, this Romantasy genre is one horny genre and this book is the High Lord of them all. 😳🤣
Call the Ford customer service toll free and tell them this is a known problem. After you fight with them they will bend. I got a free radiator at 102000 miles after I yelled loud enough
I’m not sure what you are towing but I had an 08 F450 Lariat and as far as I’m concerned I’d never use anything less for a trailer or 5er of gooseneck. 19,000# 5er plus truck scaled 30,000# ready to go. The 450 is so much more truck than the cartoon 350 and 250 for serious towing. Mine was from back before they bastardized the 450 and they never have comeback to the 14,500# GVWR.
And as much as I hate the complexly, diesel is the way to go.
And one other thing. Buy all the ford ESP coverage you can AND the 200,000 mile diesel engine warranty. Your number one diesel engine enemy is water in the fuel. Send oil sample to Blackstone every time you change the oil
Great idea to do that.
Now we just need to collect more stickers. 😄
@@RVMilesPodcast I agree! Where and how? 😀
Great points on stress-related issues while camping. I think we have reached a time where it just rolls right off our backs. Jason's black tank about the door lock was interesting too. As a matter of fact, many Airstreamers have had this issue with the deadbolt and other door lock. Someone even makes an item to attach to it to prevent one of theme from locking unexpectedly. We haven't had an issue with it, but we did put in a piece to keep the non-deadbolt lock from locking on its own. Interesting that you brought it up with the apartment. We'll share that with you at Homecoming.
Love your channel. You hit the nail on the head with this one. Wish I could join you at your Homecoming. Thanks for sharing your experience.
We hope to see you at HOMECOMING next year! Will be same location, around the same time of year. 🙌🏽
Harry will often get stressed because whatever happened blew my planning schedule. He forgets that I pivot really, really well and can jump into motion and smooth things out quickly. He says it amazes him each time it happens and he doesn't understand how it can't upset me. So we have to be careful not to project our own style of dealing with this stress onto someone else. It just adds more stress. Thanks for sharing your lives!
It’s a good reminder to lean on strengths of your partner but not depend on them. Thanks for the comment and for sharing your lives with us as well! -A
I like the fact that I can park in the Fort and never use my own vehicle to get around for the entire time I’m there and I can easily return to the site throughout the day to check on the dog.
That’s def a big perk to staying at The Fort!
Thank you for the honest relationship reveals. You are stronger as a couple, a family and as individuals (including your rapidly growing young adults!)
Thank you! -A 🙂
Walking away can be a ceasefire or a regrouping for attack. Got to pick our battles!
Yea we've paid that for REALLY lame campgrounds (usually close to cities) when needed. At least you are getting more for your money at FW. I'm not sure we would ever have time/budget to haul our trailer to the East Coast without being full-timers, but if we were over there with the trailer and wanted to go to Disney, I think this is the way to go!
Wow. I really need to revisit some of our stress inducing travel habits.
Doing this episode actually helped us reevaluate how we handle stressors next time we are out in the RV and gave us better insight into the others thinking.
Your book review reminds me of popping in and out while my wife watched vampire diaries.
lol. I’m sorry. -A 😉
Nope
We are planning to stay there next year! My son is autistic and Disney is wonderful for people on the spectrum. Thanks for all the information. Did you know that Disney has a boarding facility called "Best Friends"? This way, you can go to the park and not have to worry about leaving your pet alone in the RV during extremely hot weather.
One of the first things I learned 20 years ago in the Army…..FLEXECUTION HOOAH!
50 is too much, if my tanks need dumped, water needs filled, and im too tired to drive.. mmm i might pay it just for yhe convenience, but typically i just park in the truck lot for free
Off street parking is $220 night here
Men are into things. Women are into people.
Drive to see something. Guy - Takes a photo of it. Woman - Takes photo of themselves… in front of it.
Ouch! A few more bucks and you get a hotel with pool gym and jacuzzi
No thank you.
I wouldn’t mind for that price. staying there. I’m glad truck stops have campsites. We used to stop at truck stops to eat. I would mind staying there at all.
50 is cheap. I've paid that boondocking.
Thanks for promoting small businesses
It’s an honor to be a small business and to share that journey with our fellow downtown Rock Island business owners! -A
Very Entertaining! I think you both complement each other very well. I enjoy your Podcasts.
Many thanks for the comment and for watching! Have a great weekend. -A
Huh? You're comparing the campground to a Disney resort? It's different. Makes no sense to compare it. If you want to stay in a resort then stay in a resort. There are also no other campgrounds anywhere in the usa with those amenities, that feels like a state park and has golf cart looping. If you have one in mind that beats it i would love to know. I haven't found one, there is just a feeling you get there and a sense of community. To date no one compares. With that said, pricing is getting crazy. Reason we go in September for low pricing and take advantage of discounts when they become available. We paid 84 a night with a discount.
I’m not sure what we said to upset you, but the title of this video is making the case for why Fort Wilderness is a great option and other campgrounds should take note.
Your rambling
*you're
Hotels are more
Ohhh, what truck stop hotel are you staying at? Would love to know.
No
Funny thing is, there is a Mt Dew gelato now.
😳😳😳 Hard pass. Lol. -A
Great podcast! Im going to watch another one later.
Sure! Full hook ups & dog park. Hotels are $200 / night
Thats cheap. Yall think thats expensive? You just explained how great it was. Jezz
We think it’s a bit pricey for a truck stop, but hey, to each their own. Your money, your choice. My money, my choice.
I love that video you both do on Brooklyn Bedding. The look on both your faces after you get the bed on. Love it! lol! I laugh all the time.
Love that!
@@RVMilesPodcast I love you both dearly! 🩷🩷
Thank you for having Chris Blanchard I think you said his name was on the podcast. I like way the are handling customers rather they bought their Rv from them or not. They have to wait on a list if not a member. That’s still not bad. I trust them. Live Josh. Probably because they are based in Michigan. Where I’m from.
I agree don’t like camp fires because of the smoke. But I would use a solo stove. We used something like that before solo stoves and it worked.
Does loves offer discounts for rewards members
I would as well.
How much noise was there?
It wasn’t awful but you definitely knew there was heavy truck traffic going on and it does go on all night.
@@RVMilesPodcast then I would spend the $50 somewhere quieter if possible.
Abby I was crying as Jason was talking about this. I think I remember you talking of this friend. If you don’t want to say anything to comment it’s ok! I feel for you all and the family. I’m glad she gave away to someone who needs a heart or kidneys. She will live on in them.
Thank you, Sherri for the kind words. I miss her a lot. -A
@@RVMilesPodcast You’re welcome for the kind words. I know how your feel. It’ll get better. Some how. It’s still rough with me losing my mom. But it gets better. One step at a time. That’s how I did it. Praying for you and the family. 🙏🙏
Oh no Abby so sad and sorry about your friend who was killed by a hit and run. That’s sad. So glad they caught him. Or her. A friend of mine his step dad got killed on the road by a hit and run while riding his bike. They never found the person. It’s just so sad that this happened. 😢 Very sad! My condolences go out to her family. And you get friends. Love you and sending you 🤗🥰❤💜💙🩵
Hi Jason and Abby I’m back! Finally I get to watch your podcast. I hear Jason you all were sick a week ago prior to this podcast. I wonder what was. But glad you all ended up better. I am sorry I don’t get to see you on this video Abby! Hope you had a great Labor Day weekend and Labor Day! Did you do any hard labor work? lol! Going to go watch the cast so I’ll see you soon!
No.
I have trouble paying that much at most csmpgrounds.
Still wouldn't want to stay at places on the list, outdated or not.
