All things considered, you and Jax are always the BEST part of your life. ☺ Your sense of humor is appropriately quirky/funny on your visits. Stay SAFE, be well. Looking forward to ordering stickers 👍
Aircraft speed enforcement is a thing. They have markers on the road and the plane gauges speed from above then radios a radar cop on the ground to come finish the job. It is a method that's been around as long as me
the paint flaking off is common with white, do not get another hood it will have the same problem,.. what you need to do is just get the hood repainted at a good paint shop.
This is a common problem with white on Chev vans & pickups....bad paint or prep work. Like was said...don't replace just get a good paint job or you will be buying another hood destined for the same problem. Have fun.
Totally enjoy being one of your many co-pilots on the road.You do such an excellent job out here and we all love your effort.:) HAPPY TRAILS and BE SAFE OUT THERE :)
Hey Eric. Send off a Nomadic sticker to an eBay graphics designer for them to print a wrap for your hood then have someone install it or install it yourself. Protection AND recognition
Great video and probably one of your longest ones as well! Nice surprise special effect thrown in too! Maybe just have the hood repainted and add a rock deflector? Safe travels!
There you go... Call out the cities/ towns that are not friendly so others will just not bother going there! And shout out the ones who are! Friendly towns deserve the economical boost! Appreciate that tid bit! I wouldn't waste my money on the snobby communities either! 😎💜 I like the added animation! That was funny! 😂 and the dairy pun was cute!
Cool video hope you don’t eliminate some travel videos I love them, also I wouldn’t share too much of your relationship with Angela because you know the trolls will be out in full force , love your videos, yr the best....
Have you tried WAZE app? It is user driven, you report traffic and police and all kinds of things. It also calculates your speed, and will let you know when traffic is bad, and give you alternate routes. Might be worth checking out, it’s free.
Many many years ago, living in California, my father was stopped by the California Highway Patrol. An airplane had spotted him speeding on one of the interstate highways, and called in the nearest officer who then stopped my Dad. So, yes, there are airplanes looking for speeders or problems on the highways. My father, a pilot, never saw the airplane. The officer told my Dad that's what happened!
Hi, Eric ! Thank you for sharing some cool spots along your travel! One of these days, I, too will be hitting the road. Hopefully, maybe, God willing. Keep on doing your thing.
I am not a big cat fan, but, Jax has to be one of the luckiest cats in the world by far! I can only hope that my dog Hachi feels half of the love I have for her that Jax has! She is my companion that goes everywhere I go, like Jax and Eric.
Hi Eric and Jax, thanks for sharing that cool place wit us, I keep watching you all for the entertainment you give us, in the 60s there were only 16mm cameras with no sound I have video of my travels just like you but its a little different, no solar, no dump stations, no nothing actually now that's really boondocking, have a great day.. g from brooklyn
If you haven't already passed through Bakersfield yet. There is a very nice local Buffet Restaurant right off the 99 called Hodels, going south on the 99 you exit to the right on Olive drive and turn right at the first street and can park your rv on the right across the road where their is truck parking. You can recognize Hodels from the highway by the big windmill they have.
Thanks, Eric, for supporting local businesses. We appreciate it. Again, if you get over to the Mendo coast, stop into my sandwich shop in Fort Bragg and lunch is on me! Happy travels.
It’s be cheaper to have it painted or put vinyl wrap over it. Take it to a place like MAACO paint shop, or another body shop. But honestly vinyl would be cheap to do and be a whole lot tougher then paint. You could do it yourself too.
you can always show stuff with Jax. Love him. You should find a taco truck or some other really cool foods. I loved it when you were in WA at your favorite camp site. Love that place. I could live there. I love that you are still moving. The desert is so ugly to me. That is just my opinion but it just is so much rocks and dirt. I am like you and love water and green stuff. Although I love winter. I live in MN. Love the snow and cold.
Good format. You are right, endless driving videos tend to have limitations on audio quality. California has been shooting tourism in the foot for years with regulated parking and high prices. Lived in LA area for years but won’t be going back anytime soon. Give Jax a hug for us.
Hey amigo. Heads up. Just east of 99 is highway 49, the gold rush highway. Tiny historic gold rush towns surrounded by national forest. Lots of camping and new to you sights. High gas prices but a beautiful tour north south in California
I very much enjoyed your style of filming showing the road you are traveling. I know sometimes just long and boring but showing some parts of the road travel is what I have enjoyed the most. Thank you for the video's
I am loving all the jealous hate spewing from these comments for California. We just laugh and enjoy life. Not sure where you get gas in CA but Sacramento is mostly under 3/gallon. Except Chevron and Shell; those places rob you blind. Lucas grew up there and the movie was inspired by his time there.
Having my morning coffee in the sunroom. While enjoying my hot coffee, I watched you and Jax and I had such a great time. I'm in love!!! Jax, you have captured my heart :). Great video and waiting for your future ones so I can keep smiling. Thank you hon.
The paint problem on your hood is probably an environmentally friendly primer or base coat that has given up (does not stick or hold paint well). This was the case in all paint finishes on all vehicles during the mid80's to early 90's. You just need a repaint job on your hood. Check out the price for that work or maybe your friend Wayne would know someone who does paint work that would be cheaper than a large shop. Best of luck to you and Jax. Loved the Jax food song ! What a hoot !
Right on!!! We do not support any place that bans RVs and our pet family at all, We feel they don’t need our business and we sure the hell don’t want do business with them. Safe travels 👍🏻😎
Eric a couple of thoughts. California CHP does patrol by air they have quite the little air force. Typical style, they spot, they time between stripes and radio ahead. The officer in the aircraft is actually the citing officer if you go to court, not the bike or car that issues the ticket. As for the no RV's that is California''s caring progressive way of dealing with the 75% growth in homeless people in California over the last three years. The state has just over 100,000 homeless and growing, with the associated health issues, San Francisco, San Diego and L.A. all have Hepatitis epidemics going. Your sort of ran into that back in Long Beach on your last pass through.
So excited I found your channel! I was researching rv washers...and there you were! then I heard a kitty and thought it was mine...lol and omg...a dude with a cool kitty! I'm going to be getting into the rv life very soon and I'll be traveling with my kitty...she is not quite as persistant over food...but she will ring the bell to get out the door! Thanks for such cool places to share with us. I love your personality and the videos are fun and inspiring!! yes!!
Good morning Eric, I just want to wish you great travel, just started watching your videos for the past couple weeks, you make people feel like a close friend. If you ever need help in Phoenix Arizona , I'm ready to help. God bless.
Great video as always Eric. I love your videos and Jax is such an interesting kitty. He is very smart and is always happy enjoying his travels. I love the relationship the two of you have as it is very special. We are excited about your new relationship and hope it works out well for you. You are a nice person who deserves happiness. Take care, be safe and hugs to Mr. Jax.
Might I make a suggestion for your hood? Take it to a LINE-X shop and have it done in white. You will never have another issue with paint fading or chipping.
For your hood you should get it repainted and then wrap it in clear vinyl protective wrap for autos - it is made specifically to protect against damage like that and scratches, etc.
Eric, don’t listen to all these people who say to put bedliner on your hood. That would look awful. It won’t cost much have a good body shop paint it. Think of resale value. Also, if you notice the white lines on the shoulders, those are used by the airplane beats to time you with the stopwatch. In a 60 mph zone, you better not take less than a minute to go between those lines for example
I haven't been to Rio Vista in a long time, but it is one of my favorite towns to visit. Foster's Big Horn is somewhat of a landmark in that part of California.
Oh I am definitely ordering stickers, having them shipped to Peg, not telling her they're comming... she will go nuts! Guaranteed one will end up on the RV!
Yet another good video. I hope that while you’re back in Ca. You can stop by the “Alien Jerky store” in Baker Ca., very quirky and I think you’d enjoy a visit.
Hi Eric, As always thanks for the great work you do on these videos. They are entertaining and informative at the same time. Can you tell me what is the best WIFI booster you use ? Thanks again
Davis is a big college town, U.C.Davis, that's why there's a no RV ordinance, students would, or had in the past, be living in RVs on every street. Also, CA has 15 million autos, the next highest state is Texas at 8 million, Washington State has 3 million. More cars means more wear and tear on the roads. It's an expensive state to live in, but it's expensive for a reason, it has so much to offer in scenic beauty and economic opportunity. If Ca was a separate country it would rate 6th in the world. So people repeating cheap shot bs they hear about CA, i'm not sure you have a clue. I plan on moving out of state when I retire though, housing is too expensive!
What causes someone to give you a thumbs down on a video like this? I enjoy your videos and it is nice you give locations because I am making a travel plan. Thanks.
I was always told it was the primer under your paint that causes the problem something about the adhesion between the two. Just have it sanded down and redone with modern supplies.
You mentions crossing over passes in the Sierras in the future. Most are closed until about Memorial Day. Going across I-80 and Hwy 50 to Tahoe usually remains plowed and open.
OMG! I loved Jax's Food Song! It was way too short. Could you sing another with some additional verses? I loved it. Jax always makes me smile big! Kiss him for me!
All things considered, you and Jax are always the BEST part of your life. ☺
Your sense of humor is appropriately quirky/funny on your visits.
Stay SAFE, be well. Looking forward to ordering stickers 👍
Loved Jax’s motor going at the end of the video there. Funny that the mic picked it up. He was purring loud!
Go to a sign shop and have them do a Nomadic wrap on the hood. problem solved and will look cool.
Yes, Eric; it is fun traveling with you. Thank you for skipping all the long driving and just hitting the quirky highlights.
Davis is a college town, so the laws are probably odd. Thanks for all the quirkyness! That ice cream sounded delicious!
Aircraft speed enforcement is a thing. They have markers on the road and the plane gauges speed from above then radios a radar cop on the ground to come finish the job. It is a method that's been around as long as me
Sounds like a horrible use of tax dollars
ann kiszt yea, that’s all over the country.
Yeah , North Dakota uses them too ... Ask me how I know , L O L ...
The amount of money spent on jet fuel vs the money collected off violations equals the complete absurdity of our govt.
Tennessee has them too...Especially in Nashville
“Utterly fantastic!” Love seeing all of the quirkiness. Thanks!
I've driven up and down the west coast for decades and I never find the cool places you go to. Thanks for the great quirky stops with Jax!
These videos are the reason you have 135K subs. Keep it up. I for one love the wacky and weird.
Speed Enforced by Aircraft means they patrol the highways by aircraft then radio down to an officer in a car or motorcycle.
the paint flaking off is common with white, do not get another hood it will have the same problem,.. what you need to do is just get the hood repainted at a good paint shop.
Newton Washinton A hood reflector would also help.
This is a common problem with white on Chev vans & pickups....bad paint or prep work. Like was said...don't replace just get a good paint job or you will be buying another hood destined for the same problem. Have fun.
Star Oceans deflector?
Hood deflector or bug deflector
Lol you don’t need a hot day to eat ice cream. No sirree
Totally enjoy being one of your many co-pilots on the road.You do such an excellent job out here and we all love your effort.:) HAPPY TRAILS and BE SAFE OUT THERE :)
Great video as always, you sure have the best videos out there. Thank you Eric and Jax. Keep us posted and safe travels.
Great Job. You are the King of Quirky. It's like it finds you.
I completely enjoy tagging along with you and Jax. Great videos, thank you
Hey Eric. Send off a Nomadic sticker to an eBay graphics designer for them to print a wrap for your hood then have someone install it or install it yourself. Protection AND recognition
Great video and probably one of your longest ones as well! Nice surprise special effect thrown in too! Maybe just have the hood repainted and add a rock deflector? Safe travels!
There you go... Call out the cities/ towns that are not friendly so others will just not bother going there! And shout out the ones who are! Friendly towns deserve the economical boost! Appreciate that tid bit! I wouldn't waste my money on the snobby communities either! 😎💜
I like the added animation! That was funny! 😂 and the dairy pun was cute!
GOOD MORNING BEAST Nomadic Fanatic ERIC JAX UA-cam VIDEO 🐈
Cool video hope you don’t eliminate some travel videos I love them, also I wouldn’t share too much of your relationship with Angela because you know the trolls will be out in full force , love your videos, yr the best....
Cant wait to see ur videos in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Have you tried WAZE app? It is user driven, you report traffic and police and all kinds of things. It also calculates your speed, and will let you know when traffic is bad, and give you alternate routes. Might be worth checking out, it’s free.
Becky M best navigation app ever
The paint on G.M. vehicles have a notorious reputation for peeling after about 5 years. Cheers, Mate.
Local grub + Local Brew = Making America Full Again...... good move Eric!
Eric and Jax, great video! Love the roadside oddities! Thank you! Stay safe out there. ✌🏼🤘🏼🖖🏼
Actually Eric some agencies do use aircraft to do speed enforcement.
Bug Shield on the front will cover most of that, and will keep your windshield much cleaner.
Many many years ago, living in California, my father was stopped by the California Highway Patrol. An airplane had spotted him speeding on one of the interstate highways, and called in the nearest officer who then stopped my Dad. So, yes, there are airplanes looking for speeders or problems on the highways. My father, a pilot, never saw the airplane. The officer told my Dad that's what happened!
As always Great Content and THANK YOU for Sharing !!! Happy Safe Travels and I look forward to your California Stops. :)
Eric: sand your hood and get it Line-Ex'ed it will last forever and relatively cheap...
Great video and thank you
I wake up and the first thing I do is see if there is anything new from Nomadic Fanatic and grab a coffee and a smoke and relax
Hi, Eric ! Thank you for sharing some cool spots along your travel! One of these days, I, too will be hitting the road. Hopefully, maybe, God willing. Keep on doing your thing.
I love travelling with you on youtube,,,I,m getting to see lots of things I,d never see otherwise...I hope you get to see that certain someone soon xx
I am not a big cat fan, but, Jax has to be one of the luckiest cats in the world by far! I can only hope that my dog Hachi feels half of the love I have for her that Jax has! She is my companion that goes everywhere I go, like Jax and Eric.
Missing Angela that's cool glad you and Jax found someone to travel with and to keep you company...I love the quirky stuff...
Hi Eric and Jax, thanks for sharing that cool place wit us, I keep watching you all for the entertainment you give us, in the 60s there were only 16mm cameras with no sound I have video of my travels just like you but its a little different, no solar, no dump stations, no nothing actually now that's really boondocking, have a great day.. g from brooklyn
Watching in 2020. You have lost so much weight, it was a shock to see this 1 year ago. Well done
Sheee-ooot! That's our hometown and haunts. Modesto and all! Thanks for the love.
Need to put the word out to all RV'ers and tourist: "Stay out of Davis and don't spend any money there, they don't want you!" Let them rot.
If I had a RV I think I would just follow behind you. I enjoy seeing all the places you visit. Thank you for taking the time to make your videos.
If you haven't already passed through Bakersfield yet.
There is a very nice local Buffet Restaurant right off the 99 called Hodels, going south on the 99 you exit to the right on Olive drive and turn right at the first street and can park your rv on the right across the road where their is truck parking. You can recognize Hodels from the highway by the big windmill they have.
Hodels is a must. It was my second home before I got on the road.
That's my favorite flavor of ice cream too! Enjoying watching you making it thru California again. A big HI to you and Jax!
I got caught by an airplane speeding, so it does happen.
Walter Williams me too. Sheboygan Wisconsin
Thanks, Eric, for supporting local businesses. We appreciate it. Again, if you get over to the Mendo coast, stop into my sandwich shop in Fort Bragg and lunch is on me! Happy travels.

For that peeling hood, have it wrapped with a Nomadic Fanatic vinyl sign.
Malibu State Park in Calabasas.... GREAT CAMPING and it's an OLD FILMING LOCATION .... Great Content!!!
Great video and thank you for your time to talk to me yesterday. Best wishes!
You have a knack for finding some very quirky places. I appreciate the effort you put into making your videos.

Good one, enjoyed it. I like those parts of CAL.
Good format. You are right, endless driving videos tend to have limitations on audio quality. California has been shooting tourism in the foot for years with regulated parking and high prices. Lived in LA area for years but won’t be going back anytime soon. Give Jax a hug for us.
Thank god, we don't need you here.
Thanks for giving jax a voice 🤗😍🍻

Very glad I watched today, my uncle and cousins are in Modesto. I would love to see the area, thanks for going there.
This was such a fun video Eric. Thanks for sharing with us
Spent 6 years at Merced while in the A.F., there was lots to do. Two hours to the mountains and two hours to the coast.
Here's an idea for you Eric ,paint your hood with bed liner in black to protect it and cut down on glare.
Eric, take the hood to the body shop. They can fix it cheaper than a new hood. Or you could put a skin on it too!
Thanks I truly do love to,quickly places you film. Jax really adds to your story also.
Hey Eric
Get that hood painted and put a bug guard on the front hood as well. Don’t need to replace it. Good luck
Don't get another Chevy hood, if you look around you see white Chevy paint peels period. The pigs are cute,it is called mosaic tile.
Great video as always Eric. I love your videos and Jax is such an interesting kitty. He is very smart and is always happy enjoying his travels. I love the relationship the two of you have as it is very special. We are excited about your new relationship and hope it works out well for you. You are a nice person who deserves happiness. Take care, be safe and hugs to Mr. Jax.
"Udderly" fantastic! Too funny Eric. Thanks for a great video, really enjoyed watching.
Awesome video, really love seeing the weird stuff .I'm so glad to see you so upbeat. Happy travels
Cool you found several of our local Oddities and passed us by. Soon we will be on the Road full-time too.
Multi tasking Jax ...asleep in the RV and eating lunch at the same time 🤗... I know just being pedantic...Love the Jax song BTW.
Might I make a suggestion for your hood? Take it to a LINE-X shop and have it done in white. You will never have another issue with paint fading or chipping.
Its REAL stupid to ban overnight parking at Walmart. Do they not want customers literally living at their door? Geniuses.
Like your phone holder on the dash. What brand is it?
love traveling with you and like you said- able to see the interesting sites without leaving home. Thank you.
For your hood you should get it repainted and then wrap it in clear vinyl protective wrap for autos - it is made specifically to protect against damage like that and scratches, etc.
Eric, don’t listen to all these people who say to put bedliner on your hood. That would look awful. It won’t cost much have a good body shop paint it. Think of resale value.

Eric and Jax are happy campers : )
Isn't there some sorta chip/stone deflector guard available that can be installed to prevent that front end damage..?

Did you sand the primer before painting?
Thank you for what you do. Good to see a lot of nice places.
While on the west coast, you should consider a trip and tour at the Naval base.
Be Well.
Ian
Another great video! Jax wanted more of the ice-cream!!!
What causes someone to give you a thumbs down on a video like this? I enjoy your videos and it is nice you give locations because I am making a travel plan. Thanks.
Why not just vinyl wrap the hood?
That was funny Erick .calif wasn’t deserve your business
I was always told it was the primer under your paint that causes the problem something about the adhesion between the two. Just have it sanded down and redone with modern supplies.
You mentions crossing over passes in the Sierras in the future. Most are closed until about Memorial Day. Going across I-80 and Hwy 50 to Tahoe usually remains plowed and open.
Jax was kneading his bed at the end of the video. Love the Jax man!
OMG! I loved Jax's Food Song! It was way too short. Could you sing another with some additional verses? I loved it. Jax always makes me smile big! Kiss him for me!
