Just a note. You should keep your water filter attached to your coach, not the water faucet. Your fresh water hose, will always have old water in it, which can potentially cause mold / bacteria. If you attach your water filter to the faucet, you are cleaning the water and pushing it through your not perfectly clean hose. Push the water through your not perfectly clean hose, and then filter it before it enters your rig, even if filling up your on board water.
Old man advice for helping with the dismounting issue. I usually stop, put into reverse for about 1 or 2 inches. Releases the forward pull on the ball. Allows for easy dismount from truck hitch. Still love our 2019 Outdoors RV and your channel.
Next time you get a chip in the windshield, get a piece of clear tape over it ASAP. Keeps the water out of the crack and minimizes potential of spreading.
Referring to that checkpoint, there are so many trailers caught smuggling. At least they ask permission and peeked and not rip through every single thing! He/She was probably interested in getting one too!
Ohh I like that little level you have sitting on the tongue! Is that pretty accurate or just get's you close enough to stop the truck? That route through to New Mexico is a bit rough, even worse on the way back to AZ. We went to White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns a week ago. We stayed at Brantley Lake park close to Carlsbad and then a KOA close to White Sands. I hear you about using the Berkey still. We just got one of the ClearSource 3 stage filters and mounted it in the passthrough so there's a short hose coming out the bottom that we hook into water source. That way I don't have to bring the filter inside when we take trips during the day, I feel like it's too expensive to leave out.
Easy to do. Many years ago on vacation I forgot about the time change going into Durango. Up in the morning heading there for a scheduled train ride and along the way I realized it. Just made it. Glad I had a buffer. Take care
Hi Guys...Check your right front Snap Pad. I noticed it was wobbling as you were parking. I'll bet the bolt is working its way loose. I'm speaking from experience!
I never filled my water tank fully up before leaving the house or a campground. That is a lot of extra weight when you tow. I allows ran with about 15 gallons of water while traveling.
I was just at Holloman (Razor Lake) and White Sands NP last week. Sorry I missed you! Did you hear any of the sonic booms during the weekdays? Almost had a heart attack. At Carlsbad now and heading to Roswell and then Santa Fe in the next couple weeks. Hope to meet you and the Newstate peeps on the road sometime. You guys are great.
humidity has a major impact on mpg--- thick soupy air vs nice cool crisp dry and thin air--- motorycles definetly know the diffrence--- humidity just sucks
Crazy I stumbled on you guys just as you were pulling up to Lake Holloman. I was stationed at Holloman AFB from 2000-2004 and 2009-2014 (retired there in 2012). I’m in South Carolina now, but I miss a lot about the wide open spaces out west. Great video! I’ll be following along! Love picking people’s brains for my class C.
I saw a guy ahead of me in a Luvs truck stop filling up his fresh water tank while refueling. It was a really nice Class A so I was a bit surprised they were doing it there. Progressive is awesome for windshield replacement, it is a no muss no fuss process. Anyway, great video, I enjoy watching.
Welcome to New Mexico! You went through my home town of Lordsburg NM while traveling to White Sands. Sorry about the roads.. they are pretty bad. Safe travels to Texas for RV Unplugged Rally. Wish I could attend. Love watching your channel. I am down 68lbs since Last October and you help inspire me to eat healthy and exercise.
I went to your talk at ESCAPADE in Tucson and I bought my orange exercise bands -but we are VIP KOA and we really like the reliability of KOA -I have seen one KOA where they did have a few dry campers in RV’s -it was in the summer and they were full but they seemed to allow the dry camping there 🤷♀️🤩🚌🇺🇸☀️
I don't think those blocks are for leveling, they're for putting under levelers to keep them from destroying the asphalt by distributing the rigs weight more evenly , which is something every rver with levellers should have anyway.
Hey guys love your videos! I don't mean to be nitpicky but I think you have the rule of 3 slightly wrong lol! But 2 out of three ain't bad!!! No more than 300 miles, arrive before 3 pm, but the third you said was "don't drive more than 3 hours" - gonna be difficult to drive 300 miles in 3 hours lol! I believe the third rule is stay for 3 days!!!
When you stop at places where the dogs don’t go in stores or whatever do you leave them in the truck or camper? I have had to start leaving my car running with the air on for my dog with a note on the windshield saying that the air conditioning is on for the dog. because I have gotten nasty notes on my car for leaving my dog in the car.
Is your microwave on an inverted circuit? How big is your battery bank? Thanks for another great video! As an old longhaired, graybeard solo traveler it’s really great to see a well organized team having so much fun! Travel safely, be well and continue having great adventures. Hug the dogs for me!
Good vid, thanks! I went to that SKP park a few days after Escapade planning to dry camp for a couple nights. Then they told me about the $85 FHU deal for a week and I decided to do that. Cool park with great trails out in the desert behind it. I was at Lake Halloman about 18 mo's ago. Had a great spot on the water. I was surprised there was no smell. I thought that entry from the highway was a bit gnarly with that tight turn.
I couldn’t help but laugh watching you unhitch. It made me feel better, cuz I have the exact same issue. For what ever reason, my trailer just doesnt want to drop the ball when I try to unhitch. 😁😁😁 Love my Berkey, even though it takes up counter space.
We love our berkey! Have you thought of keeping it in your shower on a shower seat (like we do) and using a pitcher to fill vessels? Then we move it when it's empty to take our showers. Works great!
We just stayed at that SKP park two weeks ago, 1 week Full Hookups for $85.00, the discount of 50% was because it was our first visit. Great Place to stay in that area!
Another great video guys and what a coincidence I just got a stone chip in my windshield neighbor was cutting his grass and he hit a piece of stone and it hit my windshield on my car and I called my insurance company and they said if it’s repairable, it’s not gonna cost me anything and they recommended Safelite and I just had it done today they fixed the chip and it just like yours. It was about the same size as your windshield the chip, another great video guys. Keep up the hard work I enjoy watching your videos every week. It would be nice if you get over to the East Coast I’m living in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania wouldn’t mind meeting up with your folks.
The Chip in the windshield happened to me on my way from Gila Bend to Tucson as well, lol. Mine was on driver side by wiper. Safelight in Tuscon fixed it the next day. I didn't even run it through my insurance was only $150. 13,000 miles on my tremor.
I quit watching RV unplugged. I hope you win; but the games were absurd. Thanks for sharing your journey. Hope you won, but… The infomercial was rude and not fun to watch.! Ugh!
I sometimes have a tube of Permatex windshield epoxy on hand ($11 Amazon) for when I get a rock chip. Since I have sensors and cameras, I really don't want to have to pay to replace it. I think I have 9 chips in my Tesla that I have fixed so far. There are so many gravel mines where I live it isn't funny, and with all the construction the trucks are on the road even at 6am. I have the same insurance company, but I haven't done a glass claim yet.
I drove all around the country for years and never had a problem getting fuel no matter what state. If there is not a tree within the 15' range of each other I don't even want to go there.
just so you know many Jiffy Lubes do windshield repairs about $25.. Welcome to New Mexico. Go Red Team!! congratulations on getting as far in the competition as you have. I am still rooting for you guys.
Love your videos, you guys have it down and very interesting and I have watched a lot of travelers with rigs. You guys are very organized. I am an 81 year old woman and really enjoy your travels, safe travels and blessings.
Another awesome video. Now that you have been in the Titanium for over a year do you plan on making a video on all the problems or lack their of? So many other UA-cam rv channels have serious problems and you two hardly ever have problems. It would be helpful as we want to buy a 280KVS from Outdoors RV.
Another Good video adventure, I love watching you two . I'm 66 and I've been debating on going fulltime rving and looking into buying a used 22fqs and I seen one online that was an exact copy of yours ,backsplash, paint ,new fridge and all ,including the exact amount of battery set up and solar, just wondering is that your rv for sale , if not someone copied yours to the T.
Those wood blocks are to protect the asphalt from direct contact with jacks and stabilizers not so much for leveling. If you were to put your front Jack down and leave it with nothing under it it would sink into the asphalt. I know your front Jack raises when leveled and your levelers have the rubber pads on them so no need for you to use the wood blocks. 👍🏼
@@IreneIronTravels I was thinking the park knows their spaces are unlevel by 2" from side to side, so they leave a couple of 2X8 boards to help out. But maybe not.
@@TomSpurlock Yeah that could be true. Since its a pull through and they know people won't want to unhook to level they might have extra wood. I had just never seen a park have that much leveling wood available!
What diesel discount cards do you recommend. This was the first time I saw any of your videos. You make the preparation and travel processes seem so smooth.
Nice video. Love your dogs. We travel with two Border Terriers, about the same size as yours. Do you really need the Anderson WD hitch with your super duty? I'm guessing you are under 1000# on your tongue weight. We run about 550-650 on the tongue and am so glad not to need a WD hitch. Literally takes seconds to hitch and unhitch. I do have air bags to keep my headlights aimed correctly. Hate getting flashed for headlights aimed high. Thanks for sharing.
I have a 27 TRX just curious what pressure do you put in your tires Traveling solo from Florida to Washington State. I thought I saw you guys in Skidway island state park. don't see a lot of outdoors rv. Safe travels.Phil
Hello! We have a question for you two: are you traveling with your fresh water tank full? Or close to full maybe? We are going on the road for 5 months on Monday! We have been following your adventures, the best to us, and we own one ORV TT… thanks!
We’re full timing right now also on a 5 month trip. We have been staying completely off grid and have found that anytime you can top off fresh water or dump tanks (unless mostly empty) it’s wise to do so. We also carry close to a second fresh tank worth of water in blue jugs and two of the 21 gal portable waste tanks. We carry the smaller 21 gal waste tanks because they are super heavy when full and the larger ones are near impossible to load if you’re off grid and have to take them to a dump station. Finally…yes we travel with a full fresh tank unless we’re positive we can get water where we are headed.
Just as another way...Our ORV has 80g tank. When full thats close to 650#. We travel with about 10-12 gals of water in the tank and fill it when we are within ~50 miles of our destination. I carry two-5 g containers in the pickup bed one with water for "just in case". If we don't find water we set up camp empty the cans in the tank. As we go out sight seeing will fill them and empty into the tt tank. every couple of days. We empty the gray & black tanks at every opportunity.
I would never run a fuel tank or at least try to never run my fuel tank below a quarter of a tank. Because modern fuel pumps are submerged in the fuel and they use it to keep them cool. Thanks for the video.
We noticed that we have truck and trailer set up similar to yours. We have a Lance 2285(7,000 Gross) which is 27' long hitch to bumper, an Anderson hitch and a 2021 F250 Diesel. The difference is that we have a short box Supercab so our wheelbase is shorter than yours. We used to tow with an F150 without any of the special towing or GVW packages. We could get sway with the F150. We love our F250 except that the F250 doesn't have rack and pinion steering like the F150. As a result the steering is less precise and requires me to pay very close attention to the road. How satisfied are you with the tracking of your set up? I believe that I may have given up some handling by having a shorter wheelbase truck. I'm toying with a Propride 3P hitch. Our truck is 2 years old and we have 60,000 miles (mostly towing) so we have spent a lot of time driving. We really like your channel!
Don't let this moment in time fool you from Chris! Classic just wait, it will change. Glad you guys are still in the game. I loved when Howard said he never shot anything---well except a crossbow. Are they even legal?
Can you tell us what you pay Progressive for just the RV insurance. I was quoted $680 per year for a custom cargo trailer conversion with an actual cash value of $55K. Seems high to me. Thanks, Earl
Empire Records! 🎶Never met a girl like you before...🎶💿📼 What a great soundtrack. And, Maxwell Caulfield (Sexy Rexy) was pretty easy on the eyes (more so in Grease II).
13.9? Damn. I guess you're only in the 60s. In my Sprinter I ride the 82 mph governor. But I only get around 13.5 or so. I cannot believe you got 22 in your van! And I got a Crack in my windshield last week...
Ahhhh bummer to hear you got a crack too! Does FL have free glass replacement? One good thing about MN insurance is the good glass coverage. Yeah, Chris really tried hard to get the best MPG's in the van( it was probably more.like 18-20🤣.....slow and steady I guess...🤣
Another great video. June Bug is getting so big!!! Your puppies are so cute. Where did Chris get her kitchen floor mats. I want to get some for our ORV. Go Team Red!!!!!!!
I'd LOVE to average 9MPG towing my 17MKE Grand Design with my 2500HD gas Silverado. Cracks on the windshield suck. Progressive has always done me okay. 23 years with them. Stay safe!
Fun video and so glad we recommended Xscapers to you and all of your growth and success. You should consider getting on the hotlist for SKP Benson as you never know when you might want a HUB. About a 4-5 year waitlist but might be worthwhile when you get our age. :). See you around?? Been long over due.
Ahhh hey guys! We seem to mention you a lot! 🥰 You definitely changed our trajectory in life. We talked with one of the owners there and they told us about that waiting list! We’re in Texas for a bit…. You guys around??
How was Holloman Lake (Public Access)? I'm thinking of stopping there in September. What time of year did you go and what temp was it. Did you just have windows open during the day? Thank you
It was ok for a few days. Great for visiting the NP. But it was hot. We were. There in April I think and it was high 80’s. No shade anywhere. But other than that it was a good spot 👍

You Guy's are really enjoying life at its fullest.
I 100% get your point about the winter shackles. It feels so good to have new views out the window!!
Totally !! 😊
In arizona I believe if you pump out front, you save 26 cents per gallon in fuel taxes
Referring to that checkpoint, there are so many trailers caught smuggling. At least they ask permission and peeked and not rip through every single thing! He/She was probably interested in getting one too!
Ohh I like that little level you have sitting on the tongue! Is that pretty accurate or just get's you close enough to stop the truck?

Episode 8 was great. Still rooting for Team Stacey and you guys in particular. Hope you enjoyed your time in New Mexico.
Easy to do. Many years ago on vacation I forgot about the time change going into Durango. Up in the morning heading there for a scheduled train ride and along the way I realized it. Just made it. Glad I had a buffer.
Take care
Hi Guys...Check your right front Snap Pad. I noticed it was wobbling as you were parking. I'll bet the bolt is working its way loose. I'm speaking from experience!
Thanks Dennis, we’ll check that out! The leveling feet heads do swivel, so that might have been what you seen. But, thanks for heads up, we’ll look.
That’s normal on an ORV. Those feet swivel so they can alway contact the ground flat.
I never filled my water tank fully up before leaving the house or a campground. That is a lot of extra weight when you tow. I allows ran with about 15 gallons of water while traveling.
You guys are uplifting. Appreciate your sharing your TV lives with us.
Those back to back long travel days are monsters!! Looks like a great spot to camp for a couple of nights. Safe travels!!
Thanks Carol!!
another very interesting location you guys have found for boondocking. Some amazing scenery in that part of the world. As always..safe travels,
Totally agree on the $5 drycamping in a park!!! Some parks do offer it, but its at a higher rate. We have seen $15-$30.
Gooood video!!!
Congratulations on winning Unplugged! We were rooting for you. What prompted the 5th wheel bug? Was it Thanksgiving dinner in Laguna?
That jalapeño cheddar bread is freaking amazing! What also goes well with that is a spicy jam!
Soooo good! 😊
I was just at Holloman (Razor Lake) and White Sands NP last week.
Sorry I missed you! Did you hear any of the sonic booms during the weekdays? Almost had a heart attack.
At Carlsbad now and heading to Roswell and then Santa Fe in the next couple weeks.
Hope to meet you and the Newstate peeps on the road sometime. You guys are great.
(I meant Raptor Lake)

Also will adopt that 300 mile limit on my travels in my suv. Sooon to be RV.
Have you seen that UA-cam video about the chemicals that are leached into the water from using the Berky water filter?
This is the problem I have experienced that I have a camper van and thousand trails won’t let me park because it is not considered tv certified.
I saw a guy ahead of me in a Luvs truck stop filling up his fresh water tank while refueling. It was a really nice Class A so I was a bit surprised they were doing it there. Progressive is awesome for windshield replacement, it is a no muss no fuss process. Anyway, great video, I enjoy watching.

Hello Kim! 👋 So great to hear the success of your healthy journey! Appreciate you watching! 😊
I went to your talk at ESCAPADE in Tucson and I bought my orange exercise bands -but we are VIP KOA and we really like the reliability of KOA -I have seen one KOA where they did have a few dry campers in RV’s -it was in the summer and they were full but they seemed to allow the dry camping there 🤷♀️🤩🚌🇺🇸☀️
Wilcox has a free rv camping at the city golf course and ponds!
I just saw that yous won Rv unplugged!!!
🎉
Congratulations 🍾🎊🎉🎈
You guys are a pleasure to watch. I have just begun my journey, learning, etc.....But, it's been a great morning here because of your vids.
I don't think those blocks are for leveling, they're for putting under levelers to keep them from destroying the asphalt by distributing the rigs weight more evenly , which is something every rver with levellers should have anyway.
Empire Records!! Great movie! Love your channel. Bought a Class B yesterday! See you on the road!
😂👍 yes! 🏆🏆
Congrats on the B! 🙌🙌
Hey guys love your videos! I don't mean to be nitpicky but I think you have the rule of 3 slightly wrong lol! But 2 out of three ain't bad!!! No more than 300 miles, arrive before 3 pm, but the third you said was "don't drive more than 3 hours" - gonna be difficult to drive 300 miles in 3 hours lol! I believe the third rule is stay for 3 days!!!
😂 thanks, that makes more sense! You can tell we don’t abide by that rule often😂
Looks like a fast paced adventure.
When you stop at places where the dogs don’t go in stores or whatever do you leave them in the truck or camper? I have had to start leaving my car running with the air on for my dog with a note on the windshield saying that the air conditioning is on for the dog. because I have gotten nasty notes on my car for leaving my dog in the car.

The whole breaker panel is inverted so everything runs off the inverter and battery power. 810 ah of Battle Born lithiums.👍 Thanks Graybeard!
Good vid, thanks!

We just stayed at that SKP park two weeks ago, 1 week Full Hookups for $85.00, the discount of 50% was because it was our first visit. Great Place to stay in that area!
I read that deal in a flyer there! We missed out! Great deal for you! 🙌
Were?? I'm in Tucson right now. May 27- 23, need to move by June 23rd. I was rise in Tucson, so I know Benson by not RVing there. Heading to east.
Another great video guys and what a coincidence I just got a stone chip in my windshield neighbor was cutting his grass and he hit a piece of stone and it hit my windshield on my car and I called my insurance company and they said if it’s repairable, it’s not gonna cost me anything and they recommended Safelite and I just had it done today they fixed the chip and it just like yours.

Amazing it can get fixed so quickly!
Use your insurance. Rates don't go up on glass claims.
I quit watching RV unplugged. I hope you win; but the games were absurd.
Thanks for sharing your journey.
Hope you won, but…
The infomercial was rude and not fun to watch.! Ugh!
Whoo hoo you two!! You rocked RV Unplugged!
I sometimes have a tube of Permatex windshield epoxy on hand ($11 Amazon) for when I get a rock chip. Since I have sensors and cameras, I really don't want to have to pay to replace it. I think I have 9 chips in my Tesla that I have fixed so far. There are so many gravel mines where I live it isn't funny, and with all the construction the trucks are on the road even at 6am. I have the same insurance company, but I haven't done a glass claim yet.
Smart! 🙂
I drove all around the country for years and never had a problem getting fuel no matter what state. If there is not a tree within the 15' range of each other I don't even want to go there.
Hi love watching you guys I’ll be on the road at the end of May I’ve been modifying my toy hauler can share the link to escapees thank you 5:36
Hello, thanks! Escapees is at escapees.com
just so you know many Jiffy Lubes do windshield repairs about $25.. Welcome to New Mexico. Go Red Team!! congratulations on getting as far in the competition as you have. I am still rooting for you guys.
We didn't know that about Jiffy Lube, thanks!! Appreciate the support on the show..it's just getting good!!
I think I saw some doggie poop at your campsite 😅
I have a 21, F350 Lariat with the 6.7. Love the torque pulling 13,000 lbs. We get around 10 mpg. 😢
🤣🐕
I guess that extra 4,000ish lbs takes a toll!
Switch drivers sometimes. Different perspectives are nice.
Love your videos, you guys have it down and very interesting and I have watched a lot of travelers with rigs. You guys are very organized. I am an 81 year old woman and really enjoy your travels, safe travels and blessings.
Hello 👋! Thank you for following along! 😊
Another awesome video. Now that you have been in the Titanium for over a year do you plan on making a video on all the problems or lack their of? So many other UA-cam rv channels have serious problems and you two hardly ever have problems. It would be helpful as we want to buy a 280KVS from Outdoors RV.
Love the channel!! BS & BK & BC !!
Thanks for sharing, could you have used a generator while camping at the $5 dry location? Must get hot in the summer.
That’s a good question! I’m sure that had generator hours like most campground s till around 10pm.
Another Good video adventure, I love watching you two . I'm 66 and I've been debating on going fulltime rving and looking into buying a used 22fqs and I seen one online that was an exact copy of yours ,backsplash, paint ,new fridge and all ,including the exact amount of battery set up and solar, just wondering is that your rv for sale , if not someone copied yours to the T.
Those wood blocks are to protect the asphalt from direct contact with jacks and stabilizers not so much for leveling. If you were to put your front Jack down and leave it with nothing under it it would sink into the asphalt. I know your front Jack raises when leveled and your levelers have the rubber pads on them so no need for you to use the wood blocks. 👍🏼
That makes sense! We have the rubber snap pads and I didn’t even think about it. 👍
@@IreneIronTravels I was thinking the park knows their spaces are unlevel by 2" from side to side, so they leave a couple of 2X8 boards to help out. But maybe not.
@@TomSpurlock Yeah that could be true. Since its a pull through and they know people won't want to unhook to level they might have extra wood. I had just never seen a park have that much leveling wood available!
3, 3 and 3. No more that three hours should mean that the 300 miles rule is not needed unless you have some super RV capable of 100mph+
What diesel discount cards do you recommend. This was the first time I saw any of your videos. You make the preparation and travel processes seem so smooth.
TSD Logistics is the truck stop diesel card that we used in the video. Gas Buddy is an app that we mentioned also. 😊 Thanks for watching!
Nice video. Love your dogs. We travel with two Border Terriers, about the same size as yours.
Do you really need the Anderson WD hitch with your super duty? I'm guessing you are under 1000# on your tongue weight. We run about 550-650 on the tongue and am so glad not to need a WD hitch. Literally takes seconds to hitch and unhitch. I do have air bags to keep my headlights aimed correctly. Hate getting flashed for headlights aimed high. Thanks for sharing.
Discovered you guys on rv unplugged.excited to see your adventures.
Hey 👋 Mike! Thanks for checking us out!
@@IreneIronTravels love this video our daughter lives in Alamagordo. Safe travels excited to see where you take us.
Dogs ALWAYS know when you’re about ready to roll! Always!😊
Wait you had a coffee first? I didn't see that coming based on the first 30 seconds ! ;)
🤣😵💫 Yes!
I have a 27 TRX just curious what pressure do you put in your tires Traveling solo from Florida to Washington State. I thought I saw you guys in Skidway island state park. don't see a lot of outdoors rv. Safe travels.Phil
Hello! We have a question for you two: are you traveling with your fresh water tank full? Or close to full maybe? We are going on the road for 5 months on Monday! We have been following your adventures, the best to us, and we own one ORV TT… thanks!
We’re full timing right now also on a 5 month trip. We have been staying completely off grid and have found that anytime you can top off fresh water or dump tanks (unless mostly empty) it’s wise to do so. We also carry close to a second fresh tank worth of water in blue jugs and two of the 21 gal portable waste tanks. We carry the smaller 21 gal waste tanks because they are super heavy when full and the larger ones are near impossible to load if you’re off grid and have to take them to a dump station. Finally…yes we travel with a full fresh tank unless we’re positive we can get water where we are headed.
Hello! 👋 yes we do travel with full fresh water tanks at times. The well built RVs can handle that! 😊
Just as another way...Our ORV has 80g tank. When full thats close to 650#. We travel with about 10-12 gals of water in the tank and fill it when we are within ~50 miles of our destination. I carry two-5 g containers in the pickup bed one with water for "just in case". If we don't find water we set up camp empty the cans in the tank. As we go out sight seeing will fill them and empty into the tt tank. every couple of days. We empty the gray & black tanks at every opportunity.
@@herb7877 Thank you! Exactly what we will do. That extra weight is a bit much!
@@IreneIronTravels Thank you. Can’t wait to be « on the road of discovery »!
Empire Records! Love it!!!
didn't know anyone followed the 'turn off engine' sign..
My sprinter 4x4 gets 14mpg, I have a lead foot
I would never run a fuel tank or at least try to never run my fuel tank below a quarter of a tank. Because modern fuel pumps are submerged in the fuel and they use it to keep them cool. Thanks for the video.
Good point! 👍
@@IreneIronTravels although since you have an easel, I may be wrong. I was thinking of most gas engines.
Are you guys getting some miles on your new Lectric Lites ..looking forward to the review 😊
We noticed that we have truck and trailer set up similar to yours. We have a Lance 2285(7,000 Gross) which is 27' long hitch to bumper, an Anderson hitch and a 2021 F250 Diesel. The difference is that we have a short box Supercab so our wheelbase is shorter than yours. We used to tow with an F150 without any of the special towing or GVW packages. We could get sway with the F150. We love our F250 except that the F250 doesn't have rack and pinion steering like the F150. As a result the steering is less precise and requires me to pay very close attention to the road. How satisfied are you with the tracking of your set up? I believe that I may have given up some handling by having a shorter wheelbase truck. I'm toying with a Propride 3P hitch. Our truck is 2 years old and we have 60,000 miles (mostly towing) so we have spent a lot of time driving. We really like your channel!
Don't let this moment in time fool you from Chris! Classic just wait, it will change. Glad you guys are still in the game. I loved when Howard said he never shot anything---well except a crossbow. Are they even legal?
😂 yes, I’m going to have to ask him about that crossbow! 😂
That's a beautiful desert good video
Can you tell us what you pay Progressive for just the RV insurance. I was quoted $680 per year for a custom cargo trailer conversion with an actual cash value of $55K. Seems high to me. Thanks, Earl
Empire Records! 🎶Never met a girl like you before...🎶💿📼 What a great soundtrack. And, Maxwell Caulfield (Sexy Rexy) was pretty easy on the eyes (more so in Grease II).
How’s the Ford been doing n it’s good 👍 on fuel ⛽️ right
Can't complain! .....much. 🤣 I did see the new 23 Super Duty's have a larger GVWR and it increases the payload by over 600lbs on a Tremor like ours!
13.9? Damn. I guess you're only in the 60s.
In my Sprinter I ride the 82 mph governor. But I only get around 13.5 or so.
I cannot believe you got 22 in your van!
And I got a Crack in my windshield last week...
Ahhhh bummer to hear you got a crack too! Does FL have free glass replacement? One good thing about MN insurance is the good glass coverage. Yeah, Chris really tried hard to get the best MPG's in the van( it was probably more.like 18-20🤣.....slow and steady I guess...🤣
We get 18 to 20 mpg in our Airstream Interstate ext. 2016
Just saw your camper on sale on RV Trader? What are you getting next?
Another great video. June Bug is getting so big!!! Your puppies are so cute. Where did Chris get her kitchen floor mats. I want to get some for our ORV. Go Team Red!!!!!!!
Thanks!! We got those at Costco!~ 😊 Nice memory foam
Geez Louise!! That was scary 😮 for that minute
Sorry for the fright! It was quite the scare for us at the time!
I'd LOVE to average 9MPG towing my 17MKE Grand Design with my 2500HD gas Silverado.
Cracks on the windshield suck.
Progressive has always done me okay. 23 years with them.
Stay safe!
👍👍 thanks! Yeah the mpg the gassers are tough while towing! Glad to hear you liking progressive!
Great info~ Ty! Btw, your dogs are SO CUTE!!! What breed are they? Safe travels 🤙🏻
why is Chris always driving? We never see Aaron drive.
The "kids" always know which parent they can pester! LOL!
Love your videos. Have a good time in all your adventures. Stay safe! 😊
Thanks Jani!
Good video just asking why does Chris do all driving does she not trust you to drive
What do you feel like a safe travel speed is on the open highway vs intercity
Curious, I’ve never used insurance to pay for rock chip repairs as here it’s only $24CAD/chip so how much does it cost down there?
Our insurance covers the rock for no cost. But some insurance companies might make you pay a deductible. $100-$500 or so. $24cad is really good! 👍
Like your Empire Records reference.
I enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing!
thank you for video can you put name the place and if you can i need map animation please
Fun video and so glad we recommended Xscapers to you and all of your growth and success. You should consider getting on the hotlist for SKP Benson as you never know when you might want a HUB. About a 4-5 year waitlist but might be worthwhile when you get our age. :).
See you around?? Been long over due.
Ahhh hey guys! We seem to mention you a lot! 🥰 You definitely changed our trajectory in life.
We talked with one of the owners there and they told us about that waiting list!
We’re in Texas for a bit…. You guys around??
How was Holloman Lake (Public Access)? I'm thinking of stopping there in September. What time of year did you go and what temp was it. Did you just have windows open during the day? Thank you
It was ok for a few days. Great for visiting the NP. But it was hot. We were. There in April I think and it was high 80’s. No shade anywhere. But other than that it was a good spot 👍
Where did you get your stabilizer pads?
Fun travel video!
Great video guys! I always enjoy watching your travels :o)
Trailers way too much packing unpacking we will keep our 23 foot 1983 GMC Honey class a
Great episode thank you for all the tips and advice and Fun. The Good Sam’s cards gets you 8 cents off diesel. Safe travels 🙏🏼❤️🤙🏼
Thanks Mark!
Is that A 150 with The 3.0 Diesel?
It looks like your dogs have microchip tags. I did a home visit for an adoption the other day and the lady's son's dog had an air tag on her.
Oh nice! Yes, these guys are microchip and we also have air tags on them. (the little black circle on their collar!)
