You, Me & the RV
We live in Arizona and have hung an insulated curtain between the pilot and copilot seats to isolate the cockpit. That way the dashboard air doesn't have to work so hard. We stay nice and cool.
I remember as a child an traveling with my parents that they always found the small towns with the most history to go through. Stacey im glad you bring out the history of places. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! Phil had me laughing again with forgetting the RV was running-they are just so quiet. Remember, generators love to be run, especially under load. When it's hot, turn it on and let the AC work while driving. Planes' cooling and electrical systems run on generators and are always running.
We will in this heat from now on. It was just really cool that our new thermostats alerted us of the high temps.
We have a bag labeled "T.F.O.A." or "Thing Fell Off Airstream" to capture all the screws, connectors, and other items that randomly appear after a tow day. After 22 years, the bag has quite the collection...
Wow! Great idea.
Small towns across America is the glue that is holding our country together. It's the morals, ethics, sense of pride and responsibility and old traditions that seems to get lost in large cities, but still found in small communities. THANK YOU for sharing.
I live in Texas. When driving, I ALWAYS run the generator and the roof a/c units. It's worth a couple gallons of diesel to have the RV cool when I get where I'm going. And if anyone is traveling with me, it's not even optional to run the a/c units!
We now pay attention to temps in the back now. If we had visitors with us, it would be a must.
My Uncle was a CCC worker.
Phil, I can feel your pain brother! We fueled up on one of our trips and I went to start the coach and nothing, I immediatley panicked until I realized that I had not put the rig in Park... Live and learn.. haha. We enjoy the small towns across this great country they are truly hidden gems.
Phil, next time your near LA, I owe you a beer! Sometime in the last couple episodes you were doing something in your pass-through storage area, and you pulled out a three-legged stool to sit on. Since your slide was out it fit perfect underneath and allowed you a comfortable position to work without getting on your knees, or bumping your head on the slide. I had a couple of these stools sitting around from Bass Pro, and thought I'd give it a try next time around. Today was "next time", and my knees and head thank you... If you've shown this before, I must have missed it, if not you may want to show it again as it's a simple lite accessory that really works well.
It has saved my head and back more times than I can count. Glad it has been helpful to you as well.
More small town living campgrounds please. Love that!!!! I'm keeping a map saved locations based on your recommendations.
We will try to find more for sure.
OMG another man who like "unsweet tea"..... just like my hubby!
We love traveling through small town America. That’s how this country was built.
Facts!
Hey Kids! I'm watching you because of @2KrazyKetos! So of course I watched season one and two so far and I feel like I know you now and I'd like to hang out with you. So -- here we are! On the road! I'm with you. See you at the finale! Go Red! Go 2KK!
I can relate, I have done that. My Saturn was so quiet and it always started so fast that the rare occasion it didn't I didn't even notice. I put it in gear and no go.
My wife and I both grew up in small towns in Nebraska. WE LOVE OUR SMALL TOWNS!! So glad you got to spend a few days there. We have never been to the world's largest swing but we may need to try it. We highly recommend checking out the tour of the decommissioned nuclear missile silo (you can rv overnight there) in Wilson KS and the worlds largest Czech egg!
We will add them to our list. Thanks!
The best benefits of RV travel, having our own bathroom !!
Facts!
We had German POW's working on our farm. My Grandmother would give them fresh vegetables to take back to the barracks. The POW's would bring dark Rye bread and give it to my grandmother. After the war, many POW's wanted to stay.
Amazing history! Thank you.
Gotta love the small towns. When I travel on my motorcycle I almost always go through small towns as I pretty much stay on the 2 lanes. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
Odd parts that appear at random are the ones that you won't know where they go until you throw them away.
Very true.
What a great city park to find!
I installed a heavy drape from the floor to the ceiling right in back of the passanger and driver's seats that folds inback of each. I pull it across for AC and truck heating and it works wonders. I do not have to run the motorhome AC or heat during driving.
Don & Honey
Great idea.
We know that city park in Nebraska. It is wonderful! Pulled in one evening and got the last spot and so glad we did. Safe travels y'all and right behind ya from Arkansas. To the mountains!!!
That is awesome!
We just had our last stop ever at Buccees.
We had to stop on the road outside Buccees because they don't have RV dedicated spaces....
All that on a MONDAY....
Can't imagine that on a weekend...
Last time, never more for us...
I always find screws. Sometimes i find where they go but most are piling in a jar.
Stacey, I'm a Fastener Business owner, and there's nothing you can do about screws falling out with the exception of Gluing them in, but since they won't do anything about it, Just try to fine where they came from and re install with a drop of sealant on it.... Good Luck..
We’ve just started full-timing & love municipal campgrounds ❤. We’re on Highway 16-The TransCanada North (Yellowhead) and have discovered so many small towns and villages. I say that we could spend 4 years just discovering British Columbia, there is so much to see!
FYI if you're ever at the dealership and mention you're missing a screw, they screw you, $35 for a screw!
WOW
Looks like you need to start a check ✔️ list for the driving of the rig, just First thing is check mirror's and buckle up then start the RV before trying to put in gear 😂😅😊
Right! What a trip it has been. I think we have it figured out now. LOL
Great video as usual. Moved to Wyoming last yr and sold the motor home and kinda missing it after watching yall. Wyoming close to 100 so no relief up north. Stay safe and try to keep cool.
The look on Phil's face was classic "oh no, mom knows I messed up." I've seen that look many times on my kid's faces! Keep up the great videos and be safe out there. See you soon.
The "I can't believe I did that and she caught it on video" look! LOL
I totally agree with your traveling more through small town America. It's funny, we went through Hebron this past May but we stayed just west in Deshler, NE. at a small city campground. Wonderful!!
Lol 😂 We find random screws so often we have a little container where we keep them just in case we figure out where they come from. After 6 years we have quite the collection 😮
I can remember trying to start up my car twice when I first started to drive. Ha ha. Also, reaching for the shift when I was driving the standard car that day.
Glad you two are moving north to find cooler weather. Hopefully you didn't drive into the big storms that rolled through the northern part of the country a few days ago. Have you two ever done an episode on how you prevent pest from getting into your RV? Coming up from Texas and through Oklahoma, fire ants can be a serious problem. Same if you are in the Southeast.
What a cool mini RV park to stop at in Tonka, OK! Great video as always!
Thanks 👍
Nice video, really appreciate you sharing with us! Great to see y’all traveling. Small towns agree the absolute best no traffic and friendly people.
Totally agree!
You pronounced Tonkawa perfectly! Oklahoma means land of the red men. And we have a ton of Native American named towns
When I start the engine, I never shut it off until we are parked, and our plan B is to find a place to park and run the generator if need be! We usually don't have a schedule, so if we find town like this we stay maybe 4 nights! 😉
Thanks... this is how we travel as well. We prefer Federal, State & Regional\County\City campgrounds. We often hit up casino parks for overnight travel stops. Live about 30 minutes from Lantana Village but would recommend Hickory Creek CoE park in the area for 1/3rd the cost and more space. Like fellow Texan Connie commented, we run the ACs about an hour before arrival. Like y'all, since adding the EasyTouch thermostat, it is very easy to monitor and adjust.
We looked at the COE, but our friends were in Lantana.
Hilarious! Texas plates, Denver Broncos hitch cover, emblem on back of JEEP! Elway was my HS QB @ Granada Hills High, Granada Hills CA🏈
We live very close to Tonkawa. Imagine our surprise when we saw you stayed there!.
So cool!

That is many reasons I like super C’s over the busses.
Know exactly what you mean about small town America. We stop manly n small towns. Meet friendly folks. Does bring back a much simpler, care-free time. Full time 3 1/2 yrs. And we’re running from Texas heat (and hurricanes) Happy Trails
Good luck!!!!
It is hot everywhere, that’s why I would head for Alaska, Arctic Circle in NW territories (Tuktoyuktuk) or Yellow knife on the north shore of Hudson Bay! At least go to the BLM in Leadville, CO. It is probably a balmy 75 there. Great video!
Usually the chairs that may swival, or the table that comes in and out! Super Glue your screws once you know they are tight and in place!
Our prayers for Phil's mom.
You guys crack us up! I can understand though, when you can't hear whether it is running or not. You may be a newbie if. . . . . LOL! 🤣 Buc-ees is crazy. We will not tow into their locations. That being said, we have gone just in our truck. 102 degrees?? Ugh. Glad you were able to get a spot at the city campground. Oh no, you have a loose screw. 😁 Looks like you have the place to yourself! Fun things to see in Nebraska. We love small towns. - Michelle
The trip started with a few hiccups, but we got into a good rhythm again.
@@todayissomeday Good to hear!
As a full-time RVer I love small towns and only pass-through cities when I have to not during rush-hour.
I guess one day I will have to venture out and go into a Bucc-ees. I have never been, even though I know about them. Phil was so funny not being able to go since he didn't start the RV
Totally understand the heat situation! We live in the Rio Grande valley in Texas and we are headed to the mountains of Colorado for 6 weeks!
That will be a nice trip!
We live in Texas too. We are heading out next week to the mountains of New Mexico and Colorado then onward to Canada for a 3 month trip. The heat and humidity here is crazy!
Have a safe trip! Enjoy!
@@pamking5953 Thank you!
That’s definitely a wood screw probably from the cabinet or dinette They show up from nowhere!
My son and his family live in Holdrege NE , he has a brewery there, Lost Way Brewery
In your rig you may not have an option that said, just did 10,200 miles across 21 states in my sprinter and observed that truck stop diesel prices were generally 40-50 cents higher per gallon, than nearby regular gas station prices. I only used my open roads card a couple of times and saved a lot by not buying truck stop diesel.
Our size, coupled with the Jeep attached prevents us from using most all regular gas stations. Too tight oa a turn and no easy in and out.
Awesome, fun video, thank you both
Our surrogate grand kids live in Duncan NE so we go thru Hebron often. Concordia Kansas and Stromsburg NE are also quant little towns. Columbus NE has a cool veteran display and lots of sweet corn!
Always run the genny going down the road to keep it cool. Much cheaper than running front AC. Stopped turning our RED off while fueling years ago. You are often stopped longer in traffic jams. Our 2nd DP. A 2006 Monaco then a 2017 38QBA RED.
Thank you for the advice, Really enjoy your videos!
I think it would be fun to caravan with you two someday. You guys are so funny. 😊
Thanks!!!
Thank You for showing us that RV park. We used to live in Robson Ranch nearby and there are limited options when we want to visit the Grands in Keller.
Great shortie this one! So nice to find the gems you find along the way in your travels. The small town city park. Yeah that's some swing! Lol 😂😊👍
Keep an eye on your tack to see if it is running.
Thanks guys always love the video's
Hey you two Love Birds! Been a while since I followed one of your journeys. Been busy doing STUFF! Great vid! Cool little town, and I just enjoy watching you two interact! Travel safe!
Thank you! We appreciate it more than you know.
Put Casey, Illinois on your list. City park with electric and water and many things to see. You will love it!!!
Done!
Had that in Colorado in Windsor Co. also. My dad said her would do to this camp to get pow to work the sugar beets.
about 2 years after i bought my trailer I was dumping the tanks and I couldn't close the grey tank all the way> I grabbed a wire coat hanger and started fishing in the piping and pulled out a wood screw. Several months later the light fixture over the sink would not shut off, so I disassembled it and found another wood screw had fallen across the electrical contacts in the fixture closing the circuit and keeping the light fixture on. Also when I washed the roof for the first time after about 6 months I removed about a dozen wood screws from the drip edge of the roof on the awning side. I guess in the manufacturing process speed is so important that the cost of a few dropped screws; that will randomly show up years later, is of no concern to slow down production.
Phil😂you will understand… I have such trouble with automatic vehicles… driving a manual vehicle I’m forever looking for a third pedal 😂
I did that for so many years after switching to an automatic. I learned to drive a manual!
Phil loves Buc-ee's Pork style sandwiches!
Loved the video and love Hebron.😊
This is the first I've ever heard of the CCC. It sounds like a program worth restoring (unless it is still running).
I did the same thing!!! I was trying to move out of the way of the pump and it wouldn’t move! 😂🫣 We also have a Tiffin pusher. It does help to turn it on 😂 they’re too quiet 😊
I may have done it more than once....LOL
We were there last year. A great place to stay.
Since my drivers area A/C is wimpy, it's not at all unusual to have the generator running and big A/C's on. It just sips the diesel, so it's not a huge worry there. One of these days I'll get the other one figured out.
That’s what happens when you get older 😂😂. It happens to us all the time!
Facts! LOL
There are a couple of UA-cam farm channels, from the area, if you want to learn more about what it is like living there.
That is my hometown...glad you enjoyed your stay
So cool!
For us, the worst buc-ee's to get in and out of is in Georgia interstate 75 exit 310. Getting in out can often be a struggle because of the way the pumps are all on one side. We never go to that one anymore.😮. Our favorite is exit 144 off off 75 at Warner robins Air Force Base. Pumps on both sides is just easy in easy out always even when it's wall-to-wall people. Next is the one at the world of golf in St Augustine. Costco is right across the street from it. We love that one too. The next one south on 75 exit 265 Daytona can be a challenge to get in and out of So we avoid that one too.
Did I miss something? Why not have the AC's running while you are going down the road?
Oh we did..eventually. We just didn't realize how hot the back of the rig was. We were comfy up front. Our new thermostats alerted us....that was a first for us.
At some point, could you talk about running your 50 amp rig on 30 amps? Curious how well that works. Any dos and don’ts? Can you run both AC units at the same time?
That is a great topic. We can run both on 50 amp. We can run both on 30 amp, but can't run and other major appliance without first shutting one off.
I have a small dish of "random screws". In 7 years, I've never figured out what they are for. 😂
I just ate 2 beefsteak burritos they were AWESOME
Thanks for sharing.
Question. Why don’t you run your gen while driving ? We always have ours running when we’re on the road, Ac’s running all the time. The gen is rated around .5 gal an hour. Minimal for keeping everything running while traveling.
Normally, we are comfortable up front and dont think about the back heating up. Our new thermostats alerted us of the rising temps. We will in these high temps from now on.
We hate stopping at Buckies with our camper, takes too long. We do not go there anymore with our camper. 😊
Nice video.
Cool area 🥰
This is where you have to be in the north east OR in the province of Québec ;-)
Quick cut off. It might just be a little nice to have goodbye for now, or we'll see ya later, or thanks for staying with us!!!!
Just look at the tach Phil!
Oddly enough.....I did and thought I saw it move! 😂
Tonka? Weknow Tonkawa, but we’ve not heard of Tonka. A subdivision?
How much discount did you actually get at Loves compared to other truck stops?
My wife refueled the truck at Racetrak. She saw the Loves across the road was nearly $.50 higher for diesel.
So the discount isn’t really a discount when you add the other fees attached to a fuel discount card.
We saved $24 on 50 gal of fuel.
@@todayissomeday you didn’t save anything when Loves is 50 cents higher. You may have saved on the Loves price. But you could have saved fifty cents per gallon which negates your Loves discount. Racetrak has truck and RV lanes.
Loves and Pilot are higher priced.
Well Phoenix! Recently went through the area, I never thnk to see what is around me. Too focused on point to point.
Hi, we enjoy your videos! I am curious about the Release and Cleaner. Is is safe to use on ceramic coating? Thanks.
Yes, absolutely
What Drone are you using to get your aerial video ? I'am guessing a DJI. I just updated to the DJI Mini 4 Pro. I like it. Safe travels.
We use the DJI Air 3.
Civil Conservation Corps, not “construction” if I am not mistaken. Lots of history worth checking out.
You are correct. Slip of the tongue.
for casino RV resorts get a players card you can get free nights at there Rv resort
If I could count how many times I've done that because I couldn't hear the engine. LOL
Great video, guys. C'mon, Phil, brother, this road trip aint starting very good for ya. First, the brake issue, now you forget to put coins in the slot to make the noisey thing in the back work.
I'm laughing with ya bud, not at ya.
Seems I can remember someone years ago do the same thing at a busy boat ramp. Lots of traffic, noise, and got in a hurry. Wasn't funny then, but a bit humorous now.
Well at least you get it all outta the way at first. Hope it's all fair weather and following seas Cap'n.
Love y'alls videos and all you do for the vets.
God bless y'all and stay safe on the road.
We laugh at ourselves all the time! I think we figured it all out.....again!
I’m convinced the people that build RV’s plant screws around so they will fall out.
I am starting to think that as well. LOL
@@todayissomeday I think shipyard workers did the same thing while building the USS Valley Forge. I was Pre Com crew on her and we were constantly finding screws, nuts and bolts.
Could you hook up your a/c to your inverter so you can run it off the solar while driving?
We could run it through the inverter and the batteries could run them for about 4 to 5 hours depending on what else was plugged in. We turn on the generator any time we need to run them while driving.
@@todayissomeday it's good to exercise the gen under a load now and then anyhow, may as well stay cool doing it!
Stacy what app or site do you use to find small campgrounds like Tonkawa. We are getting ready to do some travel and small less expensive campgrounds are what we will need to use. Thanks
It was RV Life Pro which Trip Wizard is a part of: bit.ly/TodayisSomedaySaves25
I had to laugh about the engine not being running. Last year I did a trip down to La from Wa with my '96 Sahara, and I believe I was in a station in Texas when I did the same exact thing. There were quite a few noisy rigs close by with refers running and such, so the lack of sound from my DP wasn't apparent until I realized that the controls weren't lit. Oopsie? The joys of a quiet DP I guess.
Misery loves company! LOL I have done it more than once!
