Hi Guys Totally agree 100% with your sentiments. BUT here’s something to consider. Three things we hate about the alternative to RVING. Airport’s (ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING ABOUT AIRPORTS). Airplane’s (ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING ABOUT FLYING). Five Star All inclusive resorts (NEARLY EVERYTHING ABOUT FIVE STAR ALL INCLUSIVE RESORTS). Give me crap internet, Poo pipes and pissing it down any day. The alternative is way worse.
STAR LINk I will stay tuned, our Canadian carriers kill us with Data charges when we cross...we have researched and best to buy a US plan and be done...need internet and sports....the rest where great as well...off the check the other channels...and thanks
Yup! Fortunately we've only had it a couple of times (usually Florida) but with no dryer in the rig its just a case of spreading stuff around and hoping for the best.
We just got Starlink. My husband works from the road, we are full time. I do the job of finding places to stay and hopefully, I’m successful at finding one with good internet service. Now we are going to be able to stay places we couldn’t before. Starlink screams!! It’s amazing.
Oh man, this is my dream, not to panic everytime we get somewhere how the internet is going to be. Even though I do as much research as I can we have definitely had one or two places that it was barely usable.
Rain, rain, go away, come back another day! 🎵(remember that tune???) I can relate to not having a cell signal... especially as a UA-cam creator. But then again... I have come to appreciate the non-service times... it allows me to step away from work and focus my time on enjoying nature, the people I am with, and the things that truly matter the most. Great video!
Rain is a bummer for sure. This is one of the reason we like living in a class A we dont have to go outside once we pull in to a spot. Self contained means no hurry to hook up. Our biggest complaint is getting our rig worked on and living in it full time we have to find another place to stay and sometimes thats hard to do depending on where you are at. Thanks for sharing guys.👍👏👊❤️🇺🇸🥑
Hi guys, awesome share, I saw an RV today has they said here are the keys it's all yours! I would bebon the road now! Amazing RV. Nice video today! Thanks for sharing! Keep Spinning and Winning....Cheers
I hear you on the setting up the Rv and tearing it down. I wouldn’t like it either. It’s a messy job! I don’t blame you with the rain either. I don’t like rain especially driving in it. I know how you feel about getting internet on the road it happens at our sticks abs bricks house and even the house we are staying in now had issues. We are still renting after our house had water damage. Almost ready to go back. Hope starlink helps when you get it.. Thank you for doing this video.
For me it’s the getting the trailer ready to go camping for a short trip. So much work for 2-3 nights. Then getting home and unloading. I find that being really Salty the whole time distracts me. 🤬
Loved the video! We don’t like travel days either and especially storms. We will let you know about Starlink. We took the plunge and we are waiting on ours to ship. Should have it in a week or so. Donna works from home as well and we could use a more “stable” platform. Hoping to ditch one of these carriers that we have.
Great video! Happy to find you guys through the collab! Totally feel you on the dogs. Our dogs won’t even stick their heads out when it’s raining. They just give us the blankest stare from their beds.
Ooooff and it's made tougher when we can ONLY travel on a certain day, we don't have the luxury of changing our mind last minute. Plus some campsites need you out to get the next person in, so you just have to go for it!
Bah ha ha valid point. I remember inviting someone to walk the dogs a few weeks ago and they text “let’s cancel, it’s raining” and I said “if we never walked the dogs in the rain in England, they’d never get walked 🤣”
Rain! Winner winner chicken dinner! Hate it for the same reasons times 3.5 (up to 7 dogs with us on a trip). Our 5th wheel makes setup/teardown relatively simple and we are pretty happy with our current internet solution - pepwave wireless router with external antenna. I don't need much bandwidth to work - RDP session with my office, but the pepwave does well enough that we are able to stream without much buffering - if any. We had 1 location on our long trip last summer that was just bad service because we were in a narrow canyon and service was bad all around. We also use the pepwave as our home internet because nothing else of note is available.
Yep we also used to have the pepwave at home as our "country internet" was unusable! But this is why we are now hesitant with Starlink, we have great internet at home, so don't really want to fork out another $100 a month for another service. We shall see how it goes!
@@BrazenBrits My 'plan' is to get Starlink for the house once im certain i can get service. It might also go on the road - depends on how portable it really is. I'll make the pepwave our backup solution, but loose the monthly unlimited at&t sim for an as needed 30 day sim. If Starlink doesnt get into the rig, pepwave will.
1. Pulling the trailer through certain cities with extremely rough roads, hills and curves and unclear road signs, including Birmingham where we live, Nashville and Chattanooga. We work our way around Atlanta. 2. Extreme weather. Heavy winds, large hail etc. We got hit with hail large enough to shatter everything plastic on the roof and rolled in awning. Every panel on the truck had to be replaced. Didn't do much to the fiberglass sides on the trailer like the metal sided trailers. 3. Cramped RV Parks.
Hey Clark! These are really good points! Honestly, we have experienced only a small section of the USA in our RV, but we imagine that point 1 is very valid.....we just haven't experience that yet. Point 2 and 3 are on the list.....just not top 3 for us. But, we totally get it!
Absolutely. So I have various Apps, Coverage map. Campendium. Coverage? Lite. But I think Campendium is the most reliable if you get reviews people will rate the internet and discuss what cell service and signal strength is like. We've had a few instances where there is NO review for a campsite, so I may sometimes call them directly and ask.
I’ve been watching trying to decide whether or not to make the leap from tent camping to travel trailer camping. Thanks for your comments about the greased dirt. I’m wondering if a painters coverall might help? They’re cheap, lightweight, full coverage?
Probably something light you can just tear off would be ideal, because it does manage to get everywhere which then gets on the car seats, steering wheel, places you don’t even think 😅
Am I weird that I enjoy the setup part? I just enjoy the process. I think it is helped having a class A so if it is raining I can just stay inside and do some of the setup.
I have to be honest, there is a lack of continuity when you have to search for the videos by some of the other creators. If there were a way of entering all of the videos into a playlist so that they could be played one after another. I watch UA-cam on the tele (just for you guys) so I do not see the links and such. Appreciate your videos, this is not in any way meant to be negative.
Hi Wayne, that's a great point and thanks for bringing it up. We also watch UA-cam on our TV and you bring up a good point that you can't always pull up the video description on the TV app, so let me chat with the guys and see if we can fix this for future videos. Stand by..... 👍
Hey Linda! Thanks for stopping by! We actually contacted Nomad internet, but after a few conversations, they mentioned that their unlimited plan was not actually unlimited. Laurence works remotely and along with out UA-cam videos, we would likely be over their 'unlimited' limit, meaning that we would be cut off. We have heard great thing about Nomad, but seems that it wouldn't work for us. Very disappointed as they seem great, but it is what it is :(
Three things we hate: 1. Not being able to use your RV because it's in the shop getting repaired. 2. No being able to go camping with friends because your RV is in the shop getting repaired. 3. Missing scheduled RV rendezvous because your RV is in the shop getting repaired. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎🦩🐕 Totally agree with you on setting up and tearing down, ESPECIALLY in the rain and when it's FREEZING.
Yup, can't argue with any of those reasons.
Great minds think alike. We had weather and moving day also.
Hi Guys
Totally agree 100% with your sentiments. BUT here’s something to consider.
Three things we hate about the alternative to RVING.
Airport’s (ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING ABOUT AIRPORTS).
Airplane’s (ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING ABOUT FLYING).
Five Star All inclusive resorts (NEARLY EVERYTHING ABOUT FIVE STAR ALL INCLUSIVE RESORTS).
Give me crap internet, Poo pipes and pissing it down any day. The alternative is way worse.
Ha ha! So True Andy! although Natalie would 100% prefer the All inclusive resort lol
STAR LINk
I will stay tuned, our Canadian carriers kill us with Data charges when we cross...we have researched and best to buy a US plan and be done...need internet and sports....the rest where great as well...off the check the other channels...and thanks
It will hopefully be a game changer 😄
Teardown in the rain is the worst, just knowing you have to pop everything out when you get home just to dry it.
Yup! Fortunately we've only had it a couple of times (usually Florida) but with no dryer in the rig its just a case of spreading stuff around and hoping for the best.
We just got Starlink. My husband works from the road, we are full time. I do the job of finding places to stay and hopefully, I’m successful at finding one with good internet service. Now we are going to be able to stay places we couldn’t before. Starlink screams!! It’s amazing.

Patty and Natalie's were very similar. Patty said mud which just happens be caused by rain! LOL. Loved your list....all great points!
Mud, sand and dogs is never a good mix! 😹
Yep it was fun and exciting to see everyones responses, I love all the comments also!
Watched because of Wayward Waggs. What a fun idea and I'm going to keep watching your channel.
Awesome! Thank you!
The wife and I are really enjoying your channel. Hard for us to imagine dealing with the alligators though. Safe travels!
Thanks guys! Yeah you don’t really get used to it, still makes my stomach flip everytime I come across one!
Rain, rain, go away, come back another day! 🎵(remember that tune???) I can relate to not having a cell signal... especially as a UA-cam creator. But then again... I have come to appreciate the non-service times... it allows me to step away from work and focus my time on enjoying nature, the people I am with, and the things that truly matter the most. Great video!
Yes I do remember that song, but do you remember It's Raining, It's Pouring?? lol
@@BrazenBrits Oh my gosh! Yes! That is definitely a party dancing song!
@@RandisAdventures 🤣🤣
I think you nailed it….probably your comments are an issue for everyone! Come on StarLink!
Lets hope Starlink is the gamechanger we all need!!
Will y’all be at the Switch It Up Huddle in Texas? Would love to meet y’all!
Sadly no, but we are almost completely confirmed for the Georgia one!
Great stuff! Thank you.👍🏼😎
Our pleasure Rick!
Love your Chanel and look forward to the next
Cheers CJ!
Really good points. Glad we did this with you… can’t wait for the next one!
Us too! It's fun, quick and we cant wait to see everyones answers!!

Oh yeah thats a good one for sure. I assume no insurance covers your hotel fees?
@@BrazenBrits I believe only if we are in an accident. That’s something we need to check on for sure.
Hi guys, awesome share, I saw an RV today has they said here are the keys it's all yours! I would bebon the road now! Amazing RV. Nice video today! Thanks for sharing! Keep Spinning and Winning....Cheers
Ahhh man that would have been fun!!
@@BrazenBrits yes it would! Keep Spinning and Winning!

@@BrazenBrits Ya we hope so too!
For me it’s the getting the trailer ready to go camping for a short trip. So much work for 2-3 nights. Then getting home and unloading.
I find that being really Salty the whole time distracts me. 🤬
LOL thats why we literally have duplicates of everything now in the camper, so we can throw clothes in and leave!
Yes!! Get Starlink asap!! We finally got ours mailed to us at our rv park here in Benson, Arizona!! It's a game-changer for sure!!
Loved the video! We don’t like travel days either and especially storms. We will let you know about Starlink. We took the plunge and we are waiting on ours to ship. Should have it in a week or so. Donna works from home as well and we could use a more “stable” platform. Hoping to ditch one of these carriers that we have.
Oh nice! Let us know how you get on with it!!
I agree 1000% on all points. Great show. Always excited when I see you posted 👍
Cheers Guys! Thanks for your continued support. Hope you liked the collab, it will be hopefully a monthly thing!
Great video! Happy to find you guys through the collab! Totally feel you on the dogs. Our dogs won’t even stick their heads out when it’s raining. They just give us the blankest stare from their beds.
Welcome!! Yep our pups hate the rain, it's like acid to them lol
I agree with all of yours! Setup and teardown is a beating. Our last trip wind was the big issue. 55+mph wind in NM!
Ooooff and it's made tougher when we can ONLY travel on a certain day, we don't have the luxury of changing our mind last minute. Plus some campsites need you out to get the next person in, so you just have to go for it!
Unreliable internet is definitely frustrating! April and I work from the road as well and service is a must. Loved yalls video!
It really is! Thanks for the Collab :)
I can see the rain being a problem, but living in the UK that's not something we have an issue with🤣🤣🤣

We love our Starlink for internet. We did a video on how we did it. So far, so good. Also, move days can be so stressful.
Awesome! We cant wait to get ours!
Great video. Agree with all three. Cant wait for StarLink review!
You and me both! 😆
This is such a great idea! Those 3 are definitely our tip 3 complaints
It was fun to do a collab! Watch out for monthly bonus videos
I love the rain I sleep so good when the rain is pounding the roof
I do agree. Unless it’s windy also and I feel like the rig is about to tip over 🤣
Would working overalls not work while you are doing oily things. Then when you take them off you will be clean.
That’s too sensible for Laurence 🤣🤣
Great idea. Gonna have to check the other ones out.
Please do! - Hope you enjoyed the collab!

I told Wayward Wags I live full-time. I have only been bothered by a-holes so far.
Thats a shame, hopefully not from the campsite staff!
Would you mind sharing the research you mentioned in finding good internet connection.
Absolutely. So I have various Apps, Coverage map. Campendium. Coverage? Lite. But I think Campendium is the most reliable if you get reviews people will rate the internet and discuss what cell service and signal strength is like. We've had a few instances where there is NO review for a campsite, so I may sometimes call them directly and ask.
Rain is probably gonna be ours as well 😳
I’ve been watching trying to decide whether or not to make the leap from tent camping to travel trailer camping. Thanks for your comments about the greased dirt. I’m wondering if a painters coverall might help? They’re cheap, lightweight, full coverage?
Probably something light you can just tear off would be ideal, because it does manage to get everywhere which then gets on the car seats, steering wheel, places you don’t even think 😅
Bet it was hard to choose just 3 things lol
We did enjoy some of the others collabs 3 things but I feel ultimately all of us had weather in there somewhere. It can certainly make or break a mood
Am I weird that I enjoy the setup part? I just enjoy the process. I think it is helped having a class A so if it is raining I can just stay inside and do some of the setup.
I am sure having a Class A definitely helps! Lol
It’s a rubber roof, Natalie:)
Tiiinnnnm roooofff RUSTED 😆😆

Oh, the irony of Brits complaining about rain! 😂😂😂. I really love your intro song btw.
hahaha. this honestly made us laugh out loud! We moved here to get away from that! Ain't nobody got time for that! 😂
👍👍

Try Nomad internet.

Just buy disposable gloves to avoid grease and dirty hands?
We do have them, hard to find during covid. But we have some now. It's weird it just gets EVERYWHERE though
Three things we hate:

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎🦩🐕
Totally agree with you on setting up and tearing down, ESPECIALLY in the rain and when it's FREEZING.
Noooo when do you get RV back? Any update ?
@@BrazenBrits at least another week. Too much to text. Give me a call when you have time and I'll tell you all about it.
