United States
Приєднався 13 січ 2021
Hi. My name is Mike Chipperini (Chipper) and this channel is dedicated to the Adventures of the RV Chipper’s Island. These adventures take place predominately in my 2023 Winnebago Travato 59K. I'm a retired soldier of 20 years and recently retired after 21 years as a Gloucester Firefighter. The 59K is my retirement gift to me where I will explore America, along with other adventures, and pass on knowledge and my Travato exploits to my channel subscribers.

Thanks for the lesson in Civil War battles, Mike. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge about Gettysburg with us. If you haven't already, go visit Manassas National Battlefield Park. I don't know why but I got the chills standing there overlooking the battlefield. There was no wind, no birds chirping, no noise of any kind. Just silence. It was very eery and I felt the ghosts of fallen soldiers. Never had that happen to me before nor after that one experience. Keep on keepin' on!
But is it keeping the water off of the engine fully?
Great video! Yes, absolutely NO cel phone service,…. This is real outdoors!
@@williamMikmaq222 Thank you for watching. All the best!
Thank you for showing the campground. My family spent 2 weeks there every year while we were growing up.Had a seasonal site for a couple years also. It has changed alot since then. Thank you again.
Thank you for watching. A very nice campground especially if you can get close to the river. All the best!
Do you fly in the day of the cruise?
Thank you for watching. Yes we do. It’s risky but so far it’s been good. Many people I know go the day before. I tend to try to get the first flight from Boston. Which I got the 6:30 this year. However, Jet Blue changed it to 10:30. Still plenty of time. Hope this helps. All the best!
Short commute to work, Mike! 😊 Were you military police? Thanks for the tour! Keep on keepin' on!
Very short commute! Yes, I was an MP for 3 years. I then got out for 2.5 years and went back in as Military Intelligence. A solid choice.
I'm very grateful for your service to our country. Thank You! Keep on keepin' on!@@ChippersIslandAdventures
Rick!!,, safe trip guys
Thank ya!
That crossing the Missouri River gave me chills. I miss my home state with each passing day. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can return to sw Missouri next summer & get my legacy ranch started.
@@MiMi34652 Thank you for watching. 44 years since I was last there. Wow!
It's been 34 yrs since I left St Louis. Next year will be 50 years since I was last in Augsburg. I want my daughter & my grandsons to go there with me so I can show them where I lived & all that Augsburg & Bavaria has to offer.@@ChippersIslandAdventures
Thank God for showing this. Because people were acting like it's impossible to attach it.
Thank you for watching. All the best!
We are blessed to live in such a great country! God Bless America! 🇺🇸 Thanks for sharing with us Mike! Keep on keepin' on!
What a great road trip!
Thank you for watching. Yes it was! And there’s more to come. All the best!
Thanks for sharing! What a fun trip!
As of 2024 reservations can be made on line.
Rest in Peace 🙏
Hi, I have a 2024 59K Travato and had the water fill moved to the outside of the Van. on the right rear side. I was told I had to leave it on dry camping. Is there anything different to do since when flushing the tank. By the way my fresh water at the sink has an oder.😝
Thank you for watching. Dry camping is for when you are not connected to a water source. On this setting you would engage the pump when you need water. If connected, set panel to City Water. As for the odor, try letting the water run a bit to rinse the piping. When sanitizing, be sure to flow water thru each device. Hope this helps. All the best!
Definitely on my bucket list, Mike. Can't wait to get out that way later in the fall. Thanks! Keep on keepin' on!
Hey and how are ya? Hadn’t heard from you in a bit. Wishing you the best!
I am good, thanks. Just been very busy lately! Waiting for the kids to get back in school and then I start to travel around again. 😁 @@ChippersIslandAdventures
Do they dock at a port or do you have to tender over by boat? Can you tell it will be our first cruise? 😊
Thank you for watching. On each docking we were at a port. On St. Croix, the weather was sketchy, it did rain, so we toured the island. The cruise was great. All the best!
@@ChippersIslandAdventures Thank you very much!
Thank you for sharing! Will be there in a month.
You’ll love it!
Nice remember... I grow up in Stadtbergen and live with the americas in neighborhood... Now since 2000 in live in Steppach close to the bismarkturm Hill, yesterday i visited the Sheridan Park and spoke with an guy who married a german woman and He moved to Augsburg.... Where Do you live in the states?
Thank you for watching. I loved living in Augsburg. 7.5 years! I now live in Gloucester, Massachusetts. All the best!
Wow!
Great videos. Enjoying the content. Where did you book the tour you went on? We are going in November and do not have any activity planned for St Croix yet.
Thank you for watching. We don’t really “book” tours. We basically get out of the market area and see what’s available. Kinda a go with the flow. All the islands independent tours. Just be sure that they go to where you’d like to go like the Cruxen Rum distillery. Hope this helps. All the best!
Hey, tell the folks in Iowa I said hi. They're my homies.
Ha! All the best!
Do you remember the name of the tour you took? We are heading to St Croix in September and want to visit Cruzan & Captain Morgan.
@@krystalrey87 Thank you for watching. Sadly I do not. Once off the ship and thru the shops there are plenty of tours. Just ask to make sure the tour goes to where you want to go. Good luck and all the best!
@@ChippersIslandAdventures Thank you!
Can kayaks fit on top? Does anyone do this?
I’m not sure. I would say yes, kayaks fit on top but there are solar panels to consider.
Your hose mod in the back is also a great idea. So neat and useful.
Great Review. I'm really thinking of buying a Travato for retirement travel.
I bet you can easily add an adjustable light controller to that led strip over the front cabin.
@@Rottingboards Thanks for watching. I rarely use it so . . . However, thinking of adding a dimmer to awning lights. All the best!
Smear a little car wax on that piano hinge. That should help maintain rust.
Good idea.
Storing the blanket in the pillow case is a great idea! I also like where you store the remote controls.
We love Buc-cee's!!!!!
Awesome! Still eating the cookies I bought there. All the best!
Im glad you enjoyed your visit.
Thank you for watching. The folks at Winnebago were nothing short of great. Friendly. Courteous. Professional. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there. All the best!
We go every spring for yearly service.
Good idea. Bit of a drive for me but this was certainly worth it. All the best!
@@ChippersIslandAdventures 1100 miles for us but we do a 3 week trip. It’s just one or two days there for my 43 ft. My Camper Van is a Coachman.
Road & area usually called "the Kanc" Most of the road follows the old logging RR's. Also the WMNF is a forest, not a park. Huge difference how they operate. Thanks for the tour. LFOD !
I'm in St Joe, Michigan. Which is further south. I love it here, its like living on the ocean.
Beautiful area out there. And that’s coming from someone who lives on the Atlantic. All the best!
So,you have to leave the back doors open to use city water. That’s horrible.
Thank you for watching. The radon is preventing possible freezing as the Travato leans toward an all season vehicle. Personally I’ve had no issues with this. All the best!
Does this model have seat belts on the drivers side bed that would be suitable for a car seat?
@@CathyKliewer-y3b thank you for watching. It has a set on the drivers side but I’d be hesitant to use for a child seat as it is seated sideways rather than forward.
I used to live in Nottingham NH
Very nice. All the best!
Way too young, what a shame. 😢
I was born here in 1984, i have been trying to learn more about the place.
Thank you for watching. I was in Augsburg when you were born 83-90. Hope this video helped a little. There were also artillery units on Sheridan. All the best!
@@ChippersIslandAdventures I'm just going to ask plane. Know anything about UFOs?
Thank you for sharing this , amazing singer.
Thank you for watching. All the best!
The cranberries ‘zombie’ has always been special to me As someone who wishes to be connected with their history and their country the song stuck with me, aswell as it basically being Munster’s anthem at this point
Great to hear. All the best!
Province, Province, Province... Not Providence... Arghhh...
Yesss. I know. Slip of tongue. All the best!
@@ChippersIslandAdventures 🤣😂🤣😂
Got my check and it bounced. Called them twice now and still no check.
Wow! I got mine and it went fine. Certainly hope it works out.
@@ChippersIslandAdventures I am going to call them Monday again.
🙏
❤
That’s beside my house ❤️
Thank you for watching. Very quiet area. All the best!
I am not sure if I want this bike rack or the 1Up bike rack. Thank. Great video. 🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
Thank you for watching. Good luck with the decision making. All the best!
And Navy.😂
Thank you for watching. Sorry, during my time we didn’t have Navy inmates or cadre. They may today. All the best!
Are you on the Oregon Trail?
Thank you for watching. We are just touring about. Checking out the many sites in the area. All the best!
I’m so jealous! Happy camping!
Thank you for watching. We’re having a great time. All the best!
