    Eric, DO NOT travel without the front seat. If you have to sell the van hundreds or more miles from home (or East Coast?) no one will purchase it. Use milk crates on the floor in front of the seat for storage. DM (New York State)

    Don't be embarrassed about your collection of cassettes. At one point I had HUNDREDS , lining walls,etc. Being versatile makes us well rounded! Was able to read names of many in your collection- Great taste, Eric! Rock on!

    I found you today at WM. Honked the horn a little but I think you were sleeping. You know better than to come here until after June unless you are like me and love the rain. Stay safe my friend. And I still say you need a wife. Don't want you to die a lonely old man with no family.

    Thanks for another great video. I really enjoyed it.
    This reminds me of some of your earliest videos, just hanging out in the RV, talking about systems, tech, modifications and such.
    I like the cassette tape collection. I still have cabinets full of truck stop tapes I collected back in my over-the-road truckin' days.
    Best of Luck, and Keep On Truckin'

    I love that Jax's cat !Just be careful when you hit home, it's important to keep Jax in the RV most of the day, especially the first days. Otherwise, he could get very confused and depressed.

    Darn, wish I would've known sooner, I had over 500 hundred cassettes until a few months ago (I'm minimalizing). I had every single cassette you have in your box (and then some)..If I ever run into you on the road we're gonna have to listen to that Dokken on that big speaker you have.

    Hi, Eric. I really wish you would drive and/or walk us around Olympia while you're there this time! It would be so nice to see parks, touristy areas, and maybe an interesting museum or two! I'm especially interested in the architecture of the older residential neighborhoods and the early "downtown" area. (If you've already done some of this kind of thing, I've missed it, and hopefully you'll point me to it. I've seen most of your videos, but not every one.) Thanks if you can, but no problem if you can't.

    Mt dog chews electrical cords as well. I got a small brush and coated the wires with Tabasco. After several weeks of this, she learned to leave them alone. Don't have to add the Tabasco anymore due to her learning curve.

    @beachralphie8883 7 років тому

    Hey Eric. There is a tee you can buy - it's called a 4 port tee - that goes between your rv tank and the regulator. It comes with a hose that you attach to the 20 lb tank and then to this tee. Then you turn off the valve from the main tank, open the valve on the 20 lb and there you go. The 20 lb becomes your supply.

  • @rolloverriderpgr
    @rolloverriderpgr 7 років тому +2

    With tapes if it breaks it can be fixed easily! Not so with disks or flash drives!
    I had several trucker buddies that got rid of their passenger seats. 1 Bui?t a computer desk, in its place mid 90s and lap tops were going for insane prices and not so good with gaming! The other didn't like it as he couldn't throw stuff on to his cabinet he put in so he put his back. I kept mine in and put the tower under the desk. But for you I'd leave it and do better storing in the top bunk.
    Try a swivel seat. I miss them but in the passenger side it gives you some difference in floor plans.
    Besides there is always a hitchhiker around the next curve or in some app and you don't want someone you don't know sitting behind you!
    Oh yeah, it makes you think!

    It's true that the weather does impact all those sensitive electronics. You always have such great footage & time lapse sequences. Cats.... 🙄. Okay, the cassette tape thing is certainly unique. The chair looks like a great addition. Good luck with the RV reorganization, the weather looks like it will cooperate with some indoor activities. ✌️

Some of them I made for myself just bought blank cassettes and recorded my favorite songs on it.

    I brought back two of the original Walkmans from Japan in 1980 before they went on sale in the US :-) Then later upgraded to the Sony Mini-Disc which I still have. Haven't used it in decades and still have stacks of blank mini-discs still in the wrapper :-) The stereo in our camper has a USB input and I have a 64 Gb flash drive (the size of a nickle) with about 3000 songs stored on it so seldom hear the same song over again :-)

    Eric,perhaps you should consider a wire-covered gas hose for the buddy heater or a larger flexible PVC hose (for electrical installation) to slide over the gas line as protection. *There is a big risk when Jax would chew on the gas hose .... !!!*

    Go get a roll of wire loom and put it over your cords. Plumb the aux. gas line yourself, it's pretty easy and add a quick disconnect for convenience. You can get the brass fittings at any hardware store.

    I love cassette tapes because I like to have to re-purchase my entire music collection every few years when the old ones stop working correctly . . . Yeah, that's how I remember cassettes. I'm glad I switched to CDs. And I have nearly 500 albums on my iPod. I never have to tighten tape, or adjust the spring and foam under the playing head, or fish the tape out of a hungry tape player. . . or buy the same album again because it got heat baked.
