    So glad to always hear you support Walmart. Walmart takes care of RVers by letting them park in the parking lot and then I see RVers turn around and shop at Costco and Costco will not let RVers park in their lot. Glad you had a good day!

    Eric, thank you for not staying with the group and going out on your own and doing real videos. I enjoy your travels and I save the videos of places I want to see that you have been to. Love the coordinates! You are the most helpful YT of all!

    First time 'ive ever seen an Eric video i was frustrated looking on UA-cam for channels who will show more of the RV life style since most of the you-tubers that I've found didn't offer more than 5 to 10 videos on their channels but then a playlist popped up on the research result with 700+ episodes on a channel called Nomadic Fanatic. Today it became a daily routine to go back and re watch some of my favorite videos of the series and share the experience with Jax and Eric. I just wanted to thank you Eric for sharing the great adventure of you and Jax on the road. I wish you all the best :D!

    Eric, you cost me $3500 with your dang Tw200, it looked so fun I shopped around and found one for myself :) and got me a 2016 with 400 miles as well. Only went for one ride so far and it is a blast. Keep doin it brother. I am semi planning a visit to quartsite next winter during the RTR time frame and maybe we can hook up up and go for a desert ride. I mentioned your channel on the TW200 forums and hopefully will help build you more followers.

    Welcome to California. Glad your DMV experience was good, have usually had good luck registering vehicles and boats without titles, usually just a form or two involved. I know the anti-wobbler as an anti-rattle and makes a big difference on the hitch, glad you were able to get one for our rack set-up.

    Someday try the free dump station in Yuma on Giss Road, north of the freeway, at that new park. I found it by accident on my way to that 76 station. A lot of people block their lights far worse than you with no problem, however more lights is a good thing

    @briangreenlee8833 7 років тому

    Eric I have carried motorcycles on the back of my class c for years. I use ratchet straps from each end of the carrier to the bumper really adds to stability. Also use a couple of cable locks from the bike around the carrier to discourage bike thieves. Finally versa haul makes a nice light kit for carriers. Happy trails.Brian

    In 1985 me and a friend crossed from Arizona into Ca. We were asked about fruit. We had just bought Mangos. Couldn't find receipt. They said we could throw them out or eat them there. so we ate most. Never eat too many mangos at one time. Stomach cramps rest of the way home. lol

  • @MarkTarsis
    @MarkTarsis 7 років тому +3

    You should consider changing your residency to Florida. Lots of good mailbox options there(I've use St Brendan's Isle for 8 years). DMV is easy to work with remotely. No emissions or anything, registration tax is reasonable. You'll qualify for an in state resident Disney pass. If you're doing ACA insurance, Florida Blue was on the exchange there a couple years ago and it works nation-wide. 2 year plates are a thing and driver license renewals are also pretty far apart.

  • @OUMagMan
    @OUMagMan 7 років тому

    Nice choice on the ramp
    Be careful not to over tighten the hold down bolts, they will bind and bend
    I also use a cargo strap from the suspension or rear tire up to my RVs rear ladder - that helps keep keep a lot of the bounce out of it
    Happy trails

  • @azmark6635

  • @sp90009

    If I remember right; the "French connection" for the center of the world is that the architect/creator/owner of the site was a french emigrant. Last I heard he planned to keep building and adding to the site as long as he kept getting good ideas/inspiration. Thanks for another great video!!

    I'm glad you're going to put those other lights out there on the bike rack. I was concerned about that myself. Hate for you to get pulled over or fined or worse. Quirky little find you had, stumbling across the center of the earth. Safe travels. Enjoy the beautiful weather!

    Almost all walmarts have trailer lights for about 6 dollars each. A long trailer pigtail should be enough to reach the hook up.
    Stay away from the magnetic lights as they just dont work very well in my experience with them.

  • @prejeanoffgridboondocking862
    @prejeanoffgridboondocking862 7 років тому

    hey Eric simply relocate or add additional lights above the license plate on each side. Installing them on the bike carrier, you have to worry about wiring and having to disconnect the wire if you need to remove the bike carrier. Also....soon as I get my trip going this spring I'm gonna do the homebase in south dakota. It's crazy how easy it is to get things done. Also a few years back when i was traveling east in I10 out of LA, once you get over the mountain rang you can literally see the heat in the valley below. Hottest place I've ever been.

    Eric put a truck tailgate ( under ) led signal, running, brake light strip. Thats what I have on mine. Works and looks great. It has 3 m sticky tape on one side and just plugs into your trailer light plug. I got mine on amazon but most truck accessory places have them. $10 on amazon.
