It is going to be a busy year, though as of now we don’t feel like we are pushing our limits on distance too much. We’re excited to go to some of these larger rallies as well as meet up with friends along the way.

I’m glad it helped. Let us know if you have any additional questions.

America the Beautiful really is only good to access National parks, forests, etc. we had to purchase additional state park passes because they required it to stay in their campgrounds. Our CO state park pass expired in Sept 2024. We didn’t renew it because we won’t be back until spring 2025. We purchase memberships when we need them. For example, when we had work done on the Airstream, we stayed in a KOA cabin, the discount we received (10%) having the membership made up for the cost based on what we were able to save. That’s how we calculate whether or not we purchase memberships. Typically KOA and GoodSam we only purchase if we know we are going to use them, then let them expire at the end of the 12-month period. Harvest Hosts we use on long travel days. We don’t unhook, and typically stay at a quick overnight only to get up the next day and go to our next stop. We like wineries, breweries and restaurants because we can get a quick bite to eat and/or drink and socialize some. We have also used HH as a supplement when parks are booked for the weekend. Our current memberships include Harvest Hosts, KOA, Good Sam, Airstream Club Int’l, and Escapees. We use ACI and Escapees for rallies and our mail service is through Escapees, but they also offer discounts at certain parks, so that’s a bonus for us. If you have one membership, I highly recommend seeing if they have discount codes to purchase other memberships, that we you don’t pay full price and can try out those parks. We will probably let our KOA and GoodSam lapse, as we only use those occasionally. Hope this helps explain our membership rationale.

@CajunMile thanks so much for the detail!! Good to know you can flex them like that

lol. She stuck with me the whole time. 🤣🤣

@@CajunMileshe likes metrics. Just like her mama!

I tried to make it as not boring as possible!

@@CajunMileit was fascinating!!! You did a masterful job! ❤

Thank you!! I tried really hard to make it fun 📊📈😉

I appreciate the request. We are a few weeks out from posting a new topper video for our f250. It’s agate black with a matching topper. When I do it, I’ll put a side by side photo in for comparison. I’m also surprised that cap manufacturers don’t do a tool like this, they don’t even have to match the trim, they could just do color and choose a color topper. Thanks for watching and commenting and for the feedback. We’re always trying to do better for the folks who watch our videos.

I guess the dates have been relayed and we'll have to find a better time . . . or be better about communicating!

We don’t often stay inside national parks, but just outside. We have found a few that we can get during the week in the parks here and there and are going to use them. We know how challenging it can be to get a site inside the parks.

Carolinas will be near the end of the year as we head south from PA! We’ll try to make it known.

@@CajunMile Heck yeah! Would love to meet y'all!

I do not know. We have to reset them every time. I don’t believe it’s an option, Ford’s website says “ it can remember the position of the driver's seat, power mirrors, steering column, and power-adjustable pedals (if equipped).” I really wish it would save lumbar as well as heads up display.

@@CajunMile Still trying to sort it out. It seems if I start with the keyfob linked to my settings, it will remember the lumbar....most of the time. It still randomly will be different. So weird.

@ I have it set up with a profile that recognizes my phone. I’ll try it the next time I get in and see if it remembers!

Now that we have it, we love it and may move it to a need vs a want. We haven’t removed the screen guard, but that isn’t a bad idea at all.

Thank you you the love💕🐶

Thank you!!

That she is!

Oh no! Hope this video helped so you can have hot water going forward

Good to know! Thanks for the insight on discs. Appreciate the comment.

I think most are deposits that they are awaiting a customer to show up and finalize. In this case we did ask prior to doing it and were ok’d to walk through. Appreciate your concern and comment.

We have one more Louisiana video coming in January. The poboy place in New Orleans was really good and turkey and the wolf was great. In lafayette, we typically pick up some stuff from a place called Poches to take with us and pizza at pizza village is great. I’m sure we’ll add some to that list.

It would be nice, but I don't think the tolling agencies would like that much!

Thumb screws for the ac return was part of a kit from NOLOX, but @thirtreenadventures has a video where he does the same install with parts from Amazon. The kit is awesome, but if you just want the thumb screws, Brad has a link I think. I think it’s this one. ua-cam.com/video/ysQO03WV2Rg/v-deo.htmlsi=8gHIdIGm9PofU6TP

addendum about HCTRA: once EZTAG finishes absorbing TxTag, that tag will also overlap with your SunPass PRO in GA (on top of the triple-billing potential in KS and OK). Plus, your EZTAG will then become as redundant as your I-Pass currently is. When you're down to only the SunPass PRO and ExpressToll, the only states where those tags will overlap will be TX, KS and OK... so you'd want to store away the SunPass PRO in its static-resistant baggie to avoid double-billing in those. As someone who's in the exact same CO to FL boat with toll tags... happy to share my toll-tag rabbit hole info with you. Helping someone makes it all feel slightly less of a giant waste of time...

Wow! Do you work for one of the tolling agencies? We have been trying to get comprehensive information for a while and it all seems to be contradictory or missing on the toll agency websites. I am going to run forward with your information. We did just figure out that the I Pass was redundant and have decommissioned it.

@@CajunMile I worked as a contractor on toll interoperability legal issues in 2018, and on the side I used to do snowbird vehicle relocations to/from Florida, the northern states and Canada... so I've been juggling toll tags for a while. Just decommissioned my K-Tag when ExpressToll finally figured things out, but I still have a FasTrak, ExpressToll, NC Quick Pass, NY E-ZPass and non-PRO SunPass... I need to get around to sending back the last two -- and once EZTAG and Colorado's Northwest Parkway figure out their ish, no overlap! (had to edit this because I somehow thought QuickPass included TX, which it doesn't)

They didn’t say that we would get double billed, but reads that it could happen and that isn’t their problem. Certainly a challenge to figure out how to use the toll road system in the country with no unified way to do it! Thanks for the comment and for watching!

That is great information, we are planning on being in that area next summer and will plan ahead to have something in place. Thanks for watching and commenting.

The SunPass sticker (now called SunPass Mini) does not, but their SunPass *PRO* absolutely does work (it combines a SunPass classic tag with an E-ZPass).

Again, thanks for your info. We actually have the SunPass Pro. So good to know we don’t need anything extra, at least for those states.

Do you sees the tolls immediately or does it take a few days to come through? Hopefully our Colorado pass has been working and we’ll just see it pop up in a week or two. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@CajunMile To be honest, I have not watched it that close. I just checked my account and I have tolls from 3 days ago, but I have managed to avoid the toll roads since then. That being said, I prefer how KTag bills I get a bill at the end of the cycle, as opposed to pulling 20-40 out of my account at a time with TXTag. We should have never let these terrible toll companies into Texas, but this is unfortunately what we have to deal with.

Texas seems to be ok in the Austin area, posting the toll prices, but the Grand Parkway in Houston didn’t do this. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a unified system, or at a minimum a unified website for the country’s highways that would enlighten us on what to use and where? Maybe tell us the cost of using the roads? Thanks for watching and commenting.

We have Florida covered with SunPass (or so we think). Thanks for the comment and for watching.

@ only difference is E-PASS offers a slight discount on it roads. They are similar, but they built each other. I know the EP pass will bill the Sunpass people within 24 hours or so so it makes it very convenient to tap and reload and see what you used on the different roads right away rather than 30 days or so.

I think we could get away with not using tolls, but it would make some of our drives much longer than they are. Glad you don’t have to use them either and hope they don’t pop up for you.

It would make even more sense to get rid of toll roads.

"The federal government could fix this if they wanted to." The majority of voters have made it abundantly clear: they don't want the government to fix problems, they want the government to create problems.

😁State's rights. Think about this. You are asking New York and Texas, Illinois and Florida to cooperate. It would also push the all transponders into one parameter if not just one manufacturer. One set of patients. Limited price competition for the technology of both the transponders and the transceivers.

I think it would be awesome if that would happen. I think the tolling agencies wouldn’t like it much because there would be administrative cost passed along to them (or to the consumer). Thanks for watching and commenting. We’ll keep digging and try to find real solutions.

Like ours in Australia. We have toll roads in all east coast states with several providers and they all are roaming. Even greediest govt with its own tag provider have to roam with everybody else, other way it will be a huge riot, no one will pay anything at all.

Thanks for the recommendation. Looks like those both cover similar area to the Sun Pass. We do appreciate you taking a stab at helping though.

It was great to stop in, I had visited sometime in 2013 or so and was very surprised by how the area is still so interesting.

She was the cutest!!!

Thank you!!

He’s soo funny!!

Thank you!!

Yes. We saw her several times.

This happened the entire time we were there!

Thank you! We think it has held up quite nice. We like that it’s so low maintenance now. Even the black truck takes some time before showing dirt.

Hello and thanks for checking out our channel! The red numbers are our membership numbers for Airstream Club International. Also known as Big Red Numbers, they help identify your Airstream when in large groups, like at rallies. Safe travels.

It is heartbreaking! She is gorgeous and now lives in captivity because she never properly learned to live in the wild. I posted the video in hopes that it would raise awareness and maybe save a raptor’s life. They are absolutely beautiful creatures. Thanks for watching.

I don’t off hand. It’s a master lock that is easy to get at Home Depot or Lowe’s.

The dog yard was AMAZING!!!!

It’s soooo easy to clean now!

We love these things and upgrades just make being out so much easier. Good luck in your travels!

Love the bakflips, we just wanted some extra space, so we did the cap. We loved the antimatter blue, but when we upgraded to the f250, we went with black.

@ I think the pros outweigh the cons of a topper. I don’t use the length of my bed anyways because it’s so short and we pull a camper and to have a topper when we camp to have the height of the cab to have all our camping stuff back there would just be great. It seems every time we go we have another yeti or more chairs and grills and dog kennels it would be awesome to not have to load that stuff in the camper and just throw it in the truck!

Hope our other response got you what you needed.

Drain the tank, but I do not think you want anti freeze inside of it. There should be a bypass when pumping the antifreeze through.

We love corps of engineer sites! State parks and water tend to be the commonality. Our video tomorrow is a COE video, but it has nothing to do with corps of engineers
