- As I continue heading south, searching for warmer weather, I stop by historic Selma, and get a flat tire. Then, I visit Alabama's Capital Montgomery, before heading to the Gulf Coast.

Robert you really made a well documented tour of Alabama.
Gooooood morning Robert! Thank you for the new video. I am glad that you are having a safe journey. We keep you and your family in our prayers. Have a great day. Fly pelican, fly! 🌴
Things are still laid back & it seems people of Alabama still move at their nice slow pace.
Too cold, lol. I haven't swung through Alabama yet to camp, will check in to it. Love the history you go over in some your videos like this one!
Great video. Alabama is a nice place to visit, full of history.
Another excellent Traveling Robert video to look forward to every Sunday morning!
As usual, great video and narration! Thank you very much Robert!
Robert, I very much have enjoyed your videos and detailed explanations.
Thank you
We were just in Montgomery at Thanksgiving time. We got to visit the Hank Williams Sr. museum and his grave, the movie set of "Big Fish", and we visited the Zoo there. Lots to do and see in Montgomery.
The truck and rig look good together. Taking me to places I haven't been ...yet!
And another great job. Well done.
I enjoy your travels and observations.
I visit Montgomery Maxwell AFB a lot enroute from Tampa to destinations beyond (Colorado, Utah, SD, WY). It's a favorite family camp of mine and very convenient. Selma is a must stop.
1st time here and great history information video and thank you and hope you have a safe trip and god bless bye
Good Morning Robert stay warm
Wow Robert, you’ve really been getting around! Very exciting, thanks for sharing!😎
Thanks for sharing with us Mr Robert. We enjoyed your vid very much. Safe Travels my friend!
Thank you!
Another great informative tour. ❤
Ice is not a good thing...I must tell you Robert ....that my brother has now purchased ...an RV ..Truck...all because of you...they are planning their first RVing to Colorado from Missouri....they are planning a month long journey....Thank you Robert Good job...
Your luck is like mine! Last week I had not one but three flat tires in six days. Enjoyed the video !
Sorry about your misfortune! Last year heading to Fl. from MI. I was towing a tandem axle boat trailer and boat with all 4 brand new rims and tires with my motorhome and hit some pot holes on the Interstate in Alabama and ruined 4 tires in 10 minutes! But it all turned out okay! God was watching over us! God bless you safe travels.
hey robert. after manny years of pulling my pop up with my honda civic. camping took a back seat when the kids got involved with sports . from middle school all the way to college. sold the pop up saved up for a rv . finally took it out to marco island weather was horrible but we had a great time . keep those videos comming .
No dull moment in Alabama.
Nice trip to Alabama I may add it to my bucket list
I like a lot of your channel and I'm from Portugal. You should get information about Portugal because you would be amazed with what you could find here to do a very good drive around the country roads. Greetings from sunny Portugal!!
I love your video’s. Me and my family allsow did our travel hollydays with the RV We bin in every country here in europe with our little RV
Very interesting video.The ice formation, they have always fascinated me and when I was a child and didn't beleve it was true. Congrats and go forward...>>>
That just took me off your list. I did enjoy watching you.
I visited Selma and Montgomery a couple of years ago. I walked across the Edmund Pettis bridge. Like you, I did not do the tour of the state capitol in Montgomery, due to time constraints. HOWEVER, I will be in Montgomery again in about three months, and will make sue to do the tour this time. Another superb video!!
i noticed that too, that the State Capitol was near empty, but i try to visit state capitols on the weekend.
In the last video I saw you had heavy frost or ice on your windshield. Remember to park facing east and the early morning sun will do most of the work for you. Nice videos of Alabama. I love your dry sense of humor!
I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!
@@TravelingRobert You're very welcome!
Such a refreshing video like aways!
Thank you!
merci robert je découvre un grand pays splendide
Pretty cool 👍👏👏
Awesome video. Next time you can go to a Walmart. They do install your own tire are the price is really low.
Welcome to Alabama. Live in Huntville
Nice city
Nice city!
Yep, Rainbow Plantation. Been there and I know where you're off to next...
Sweeeeeeet! Do you by chance recommend any good LUTS for editing in post production? I just got the DJI Mavic Pro 2 and I'm excited to see how the footage looks! I'm trying to find some great LUTS for the drone footage. 😀
Always enjoy your videos. Too bad Selma didn't offer better parking. So much history to explore there. Also too bad that Montgomery doesn't rise earlier ..... sigh. 😐
I carry multiple spares mounted and ready to go just because of this. I had a tire blow once and it collapsed so fast that it caused the tire behind to bubble. I had one spare but unfortunately I needed two! It happened in the evening so I spent the night at a rest stop.....and did I say it was Christmas eve...According to the tire guy, this happens all the time on RV trailers and he recommended I have two spares. With my new trailer it came with a spare so now I carry three but that seems like over kill (I carry the two in the bed of my truck). Anyway, enjoyed the video as always...thank you!
Get good tires and higher ply rating, no issues
@@randylee2549 No issues unless you run over a screw or nail and the tire deflates quickly....I had good (brand new) tires when that happened...not China Bombs. I still carry two spares.....
Be safe
Wow those tires must have a weak sidewall. I can't count how many times I've hit a curb with a horse trailer, also I'm ready for warmer weather, these 30's are no fun, ready for 80's and 90's.
Most likley your hourse trailer has a higher sidewall ply count then robert's does.
@@TravelWithTheHs Yeah that's what I figured, darn curbs come out of nowhere
Do you ever plan to come to our area Port St Joe Beach and Mexico beach Fl? There are places for you to stay even though Hurricane Michael went through. I think the media forgot about us. Thanks!!
Yes... the next video actually is about the area.
Did you use an Osmo on your standup in front of the capitol?
That was the Sony FDR X3000
This cold weather is ridiculous.
You should come up to wyoming! Theres a great town called Sheridan, look it up Robert!
I'll look it up
3:36 OOF word
I'm in need of mirror extensions. there's a bunch . where did you get yours. ???
Amazon amzn.to/2G4Y7iW
:02 goooooooooooooood morning!
Robert, do you still get the odd tire wear issue on Minitini now that it’s hitched to the Colorado? Did that go away or does it still exist?
Still do. One of this days I'll find a shop that wants to fix it
@@TravelingRobert so it's axle alignment causing your tt tire wear ?
If you are planning to head for the state of Washington, please get a decent winter coat and warm clothes before heading this way. I'm sure you'll want to take a scenic route through the Cascade Range and it can get cold up there any month of the year. I enjoy your videos, by the way--just think you need to invest in a proper coat, hat, gloves, etc.
Thank you. I just did invest in some winter clothes now that I'm going to the northwest...in winter. Thank you!
Beautiful,but sorry you didn't get to Birmingham area.
Another time
Robert vas a ir por Foley en Alabama ?
Estuve cerca
gotta be desperate to go to Firestone
Hello, Robert. Your videos are always super. In addition to time of day, perhaps you could mention the day of the week while you are travelling, especially when you visit small/big towns? It could give a better context for the ambience that you find. I was getting a Saturday/Sunday afternoon vibe from your Montgomery visit. I agree with other comments: Very laid back!
It was Thursday if memory serves.
Robert can I use one of your songs on a video?
Just to ask, in regards to the Winnebago 1706FB, do you really live comfortably on this floor plan? Don't you feel like claustrophobic since it is small and considering the fact that you and your wife sleep on together on this trailer 24/7? Would you go on getting a bigger trailer? Main reason I'm asking is, we may get this similar trailer or the micro Minnie 2306bhs. Thanks
A couple of inches here and there would make a great difference, particularly if we could have a walk around bed and second sitting area.
Robert, how do you get a sticker?
travelingrobert.com/merch
what system do you use for your tires?
It is called TST. This is my affiliate link to the company that sells it if you're interested. www.technorv.com/?Click=11729
I tried to get Firestone to change my engine oil once using oil I supplied myself, and they wouldn't change it.
I don't think I will be giving them my business any time soon
@@TravelingRobert pep boys are best, they will used supplied customer oil
Robert you really should buy GOODYEAR TIRES they are still the best
Haven't found them in my size... but I'll keep looking
@@TravelingRobert the Carlisle radial trail hd 8 ply are great for travel trailer tires, very happy with ours
@@TravelingRobert Some people are having good results with LT tires instead of ST. Seems to be pro's and cons but most seem happy with the LT and they generally have better speed ratings (ST is usually a 65 MPH Rating). Maybe you can find and LT in your size of a name brand tire.
Hey Robert. What is TBA camera?
I don't know
@@TravelingRobert
It was written in your description as,
"CAMERAS and OTHER GEAR
Main camera: TBA"
That's why I've asked...
@@unalozmen526 Ooops, I have to fix that. It is a Sony FDR AX53
Firestone started that after all the blowouts they had on the explorers.
Helo!
My firestone does not put tires on a trailer.
Useless company...especially when you are in need
Nothing good happens in Selma... lol
So i got to pay to watch your live streams?
No. Live stream is free every Friday. I do extra special videos (real time updates, bloopers, etc) for those who choose to support monetarily.
.. man Selma is a sad looking town but I guess segregation was never pretty. It saddens me that I don't see anybody walking the streets of Montgomery.
Selma always was a sad looking place, but segregation had nothing to do with it.
Must have wings, your jumping around again and again, mess up.
Note to self: Don't visit Montgomery.
Like 222 Thanks for the history and keepin politics out of it...dislikes don,t get it
2:30, yeah, make Merica great “again”. My kids are dumbfounded by how anything like this was ABLE to happen.
