LOL!!! We figured you two would get a kick out of our lame Wisconsin accents. We absolutely do think you guys have the funnest accent in the country, we just love it!! As for Sioux Falls, if you haven't been there yet you really have to go. It's a cool town with quite a bit to see and do. South Dakota is this interesting state when you have lovely places to visit on either side, and then nothing in the middle! Thanks for commenting and safe travels!!!

Yay!!! Thanks for the kind words on the footage of the falls. You'll see with a lot of our more picturesque stuff there's not a lot of us yammering away on camera. We have the belief that with things like that we need to just shut up and let its natural beauty tell the story. And Sioux Falls had plenty of that beauty, it's really a lovely place.

Can't say that I disagree with you. I do think the dealership is the weakest link, and who knows what will happen in the future. I would certainly welcome the change you're suggesting, but I also have no idea what the logistics and cost of doing it would be. Thanks for the comment!

You guys really should go spend some time in South Dakota. It's one of our favorite places. This was our first stop in Sioux Falls and we really liked it. The beer scene is good, the people are friendly and Falls Park is just amazing. We have some more coming on South Dakota and we boondocks up on The Wall in the Badlands, and went back to the Black Hills. Miss you guys, safe travels!!

It's definitely worth a stop. The falls are really lovely. The drone footage was a bit of an endeavor to get. The airspace is in the controlled airspace for Joe Foss Field which is the main airport for Sioux Falls. Once I had FAA clearance I had to then send that to DJI to get them to unlock the airspace in my drone. And after all of that was complete I had to keep it under 100 feel as that the altitude limit in that airspace. Kind of a crazy procedure to get it done, but worth the shots! Thanks as always for watching and commenting!!

Sioux Falls really was lovely, and the footage of the falls doesn't really do it justice, it's much more awe inspiring in person. We stayed at the Big Sioux Recreation Area campground for $26 a night. It was electric only, but there a dump station and water fill on site. As for Gracie and het "Human Lips." Yeah, it's kind of hard to unsee 😁 Thanks for the watch and the comment!!

South Dakota truly is one of our favorite places in the country. In addition too Sioux Falls you have the Badlands and then the Black Hills which are so beautiful. Again, one of our favorite places in the country. Thanks for the comment!!

@@ourrvsunsets we met you at the Waterloo KOA last year. If you get to SD again try the Belle Fourche Reservoir. You can boondocking or go to the state park. It's a nice option to relax and kick back next to the water. Not that far from Sturgis and STURGIS BREWING is a great brewery, service a little slow but worth it.

@@joygolembieski9859 I remember the Waterloo park! So were you the ones work camping there? Or the ones with the Reflection and the RAM that was having issue? Or maybe someone else? We will definitely be back to South Dakota, especially the Black Hills area. We haven't done Sturgis Brewing but we did do The Knuckle Brewing Company a couple years ago, they had some good beers. Thanks for the watch and the comment. Safe travels!!

We love that accent, it's just so fun!! Great to hear from ya BTW. I hope all is going well in your world.

Sioux Falls was fun to hang out in. The falls really are stunning and the downtown area is cool. We had to go see it since we are now residents of the city 😁

First off thank you for the kind words on our videos and format! We try to keep the more travel vlog videos to around 12 to 15 minutes. We also try to keep them moving at a quick pace. The only exceptions to that rule are when we're doing informational content, length on those tend to be a bit longer. Or if it's a video on a more beautiful than normal place. Pacing on those tend to slow down so that the images of the place have time to tell their story. You'll also notice that when we're in those beautiful places there's not a lot of us yammering on camera. That's mainly because we don't want to be those "UA-camrs" that are interrupting everyone's enjoyment of nature, but also because when we're in a place like Glacier or Yellowstone or etc... those places are a hell of a lot more interesting and beautiful than our mugs. We let the place tell it's own story. On to the washer and dryer. This was one of Toni's must haves when we upgraded from our travel trailer to our 5th wheel, and it has made life way easier. The argument most people make against it is that "Most RV parks have laundry facilities" And while that is true, we also discovered that a lot of times half the machines didn't work. Or in one case that facility was only open for 3 hours a day. Having the units in the rig just makes it so much more easier. We basically do a load a day when we have hookups and that keeps us in clean laundry all the time. If we are boondocking we don't do laundry to conserve water and grey tank space, but plan a full hookup spot afterwards and knock it all out in a day. After having them, we think a washer and dryer is a must. One side note on the washer and dryer. If you go with a Splendide washer make sure you replace the supply hoses that it comes with with something better. The ones that it ships with have plastic fitting. That, along with an incompetent dealer, meant we wound up with a water leak in our rig right after we purchased it, I'll link that video below. Lastly, as you move closer to going full-time please feel free to keep us in mind if you have any questions on it. You can ping us here or even email us, our email address is in our About sections at the top of our channel page. We're always happy to share whatever knowledge we have gained while living this lifestyle. Here's that link: ua-cam.com/video/jfoBAvwxoV8/v-deo.htmlsi=gvR30D5d4n7o1goN

Yeah, now that we have been out of Wisconsin for a while, and ran out of the squeaky cheese curds, we're missing the squeaky cheese curds!!

Yep, Hotspot's are a great idea if you're a part timer and have less critical needs for internet than a remote worker. In a lot of cases you already have hotspoting on your phone, or you can get a hotspot device from your carrier. Thanks for adding this!!

The Confers commented here that they are using TMobile.. Last year when we were in Ohio, we were in Columbus and Cincinnati, we only had out Pepwave and Verizon SIM card and it worked fine. You could ping Mike and Shelly Kaye and ask them what plan they're using. I'll guarantee you they will be happy to share the information, they're good people like that!!

It's been a life saver for us this year.

@@TwoTravelingTeachers we have a Flag Pole Buddy on the back of the rig that we hang ours on. I also kept the kickstand that came with it and we’ve had to use it a couple times to find open sky. All in all a big fan of Starlink! Thanks for watching!!

We really liked Wisconsin, although we didn't see a lot of it. Chippewa Falls was a lovely little town! And of course the cheese curds were amazing!!! According to the locals the good cheese curds are the ones that squeak when ya chew them... They were right!! Miss you guys as well. Hoping to see you next year as we're heading east again.

You're welcome!

We tried that, and while it helped a little, it wasn't enough to stop disconnects. Lights in modern trailer are all LED and super low power draw.

@ourrvsunsets orilies sells a battery isolator it let's power go 1 way to prevent overcharging and power draws. Depending on how you set it up. I installed a second battery on my UTV and had to get one as the smaller battery was just for starting and the basic lights on it. I installed more lights and a wintch, and it would draw the starting battery down to the point the lights would flicker or go out while using the winch and lights in the winter to plow snow. Basically, with the battery isolator, it will charge from the vehicle. Or you can run a second battery from the tow vehicle to the brakes and isolator to the other battery or the camper in your picture is new enough that there should be a battery shut off already in the camper for a winterized set up so that the battery doesn't get drained while in storage.

First off, we're glad you found us. We will always give our honest opinions on things, our audiences trust in the most important thing for us. As for your comment on a few companies buying up all the RV manufacturers being a bad thing, we couldn't agree more!!! Honestly I think that's a problem across the board in the American economy. From RV's to breakfast cereal there's been way too much consolidation of products into fewer and fewer manufacturers. You can't have a free market where competition benefits the consumer when there very little competition. All of that last paragraph is one of the reasons we were so excited to see Brinkley enter the RV market. We think they are doing some innovative things that just might force those other manufacturers to have to step up their game to stay competitive. Good luck on your hunt for your new RV!! The process is always stressful, but make sure that you have a little fun with it as well. And if you have specific questions about Brinkley feel free to ping us with them.

We've been storing ours in the original box it came in. It travels in the pass through non top of a bin that we use for our water hoses. There's a few different options on Amazon, and I remember hearing that Harbor Freight had a case that fits it. And I found these guys online, they have quite a few at different price points. starlinkcases.com/collections/starlink-standard-gen-3-cases

Thanks!!

Absolutely!!

Thanks for the comment David. I agree that the transmission only does that hard shift when cold, and it only has happened at slow speeds.

Well we are currently fixing up a Charcuterie board with a bottle of wine to have on the front porch if ya wanna join!

HI guys, hope you are well! Love the review of your Ram. We are currently truck shopping and it's quite overwhelming!

@@CruisinwiththeColemans UHG!!!! Truck shopping was crazy for us. We were basically looking for a unicorn truck. We could find all of the requirements we had in a dually, but we couldn't find a single rear wheel anywhere. We were just about to give up when this one came on the market up in Los Angeles and we snapped it up! It's also crazy how expensive trucks are these days! Good luck on your hunt!!

@@ourrvsunsets I originally purchased a 1/2 ton and didn't really understand all the factors that went into towing. Looked at a lot of travel travel trailers and nothing that we wanted was small enough to tow comfortably. Used all my connections and sold it and picked up a Silverado diesel 1 ton single rear wheel. Now we can get a Brinkley Z3100 and feel good about towing it across the south.

@@handlealreadytaken Your 1 ton Silverado will have no problems with the Z3100. Our Ram pulls our's like a beast even out here in the west in the mountains. We just pulled in and out of Lake Tahoe up and down 8% grades and it handled it just fine.

No we didn't have air bags on the RAM. We have since upgraded to a Brinkley 5th wheel and a RAM 3500 that does have the airbags and they are a great thing to have!! If you're interested we just did a video with a review of the RAM 3500, you can see it here. ua-cam.com/video/6p5aaKk0IGI/v-deo.html

Thanks!! You know ya just have to go extra cheese with the worlds largest ball of stamps 😉

With a 4300lbs pin weight you're gonna need those 4:10 gears!! And I fully agree, the RAM is the right setup for our rig as well. Thanks for watching and commenting.

We average between 10 and 12mpg on ours, but honestly we spent a lot of the summer I the flatlands. Now that we're back out west in the mountains that may change. Heck, today we're heading up Donner Pass so I'm sure that mpg will drop. Thanks for watching and commenting!

You're gonna love your Brinkley!!! We have been full-time in ours for almost a year now and love the rig. As for the larger tanks, that wasn't even a requirement for us, we stumbled into it. I'm so grateful that we did stumble into it though as it just makes it so much more convenient! Thanks for the comment!

Funny you mentioned a car wash. Toni and I had done a little banter about how we can get the single rear wheel through a car wash but it got cut for time. Honestly it's a trade off for us. While we can get into a car wash, we have to be diligent about what we bring into the rig because of weight. If we had gone with the dually that wouldn't be an issue. So like everything in the RV life, it's a trader off 😉

@@ourrvsunsets Yes the dually has 5500 lbs of payload. One less worry for sure.

Thank you Barbara!!

Now I have to go look and see how many miles before I have to have the transmission serviced! Good tip on calling around, I'll do that next time. While we're under the warranty on the powertrain my plan is to have the dealer do the service work.

Hey Chris, I'm so happy to stumbled across our channel. We honestly had such a great time on Cincinnati. We really do love your city and it's on our list of places to come back to. The art work around the city was amazing, and we were blown away by the beer scene. I remember driving into the area where all the breweries were and you knew you had arrived because the whole area smelled like wart from the brewing process. It was AMAZING!!! Because it was a working trip we only had one day to go exploring and we both agreed that wasn't enough, we'll definitely be back. We 100% will look you up when we come back, it would be great to go have a beer with you and chat about the RV life. BTW you can still be a part time wanderer. There's so much around you that you can go see in a weekend. We were in Columbus, Ohio last year as well and it was lovely. The little town of Delaware, Ohio is close by and we really liked that place. Yeah man, it you want to do it start now with smaller trips. Thanks so much for the comment, it was lovely to hear from you!! And BTW we did do a segment on our trip to Cincinnati last year. We of course visited a Skyline Chili joint. Here's the link for it ua-cam.com/video/ikXEVMJAVco/v-deo.htmlsi=lBDmiRd1Nd_b5n56

Well I'm certainly glad I could do that!! Thanks for the comment.

Wow!! Thank you for the kind words! And thank you for taking the time to watch all of our videos. I usually tell new viewers to look around and make themselves feel comfortable, but you already have. So I'll just say welcome to the channel. If you have any questions for us feel free to post them. And thank you again!!

Back atcha!!

We think we did. We now have a home base as well as an investment in real estate. And to top it all off it's a win for or Son and Daughter in Law as well.

Let's definitely do that, you just have to promise not to laugh at us!

@@ourrvsunsets there is no way we would be laughing at you guys we would be to busy laughing at ourselves lol.

First off our condolences on your loss, we certainly know how difficult that is. You'll find from watching our videos that RVing has really helped us heal. While many people will say don't do anything drastic after a loss like we had, it really was what we needed to start moving forward. As you and your husband start your transition to full-time please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. We're always happy to share the knowledge we've gained through doing this. This lifestyle does have its challenges, but we think the payoff of seeing new things and meeting new people far outweighs those challenges.

Vanessa is pretty amazing at a lot of stuff. We, and our Son, hit the jackpot with that lovely lady.
