Harvest Host Showdown : 3 Dozen Hosts in 20 States - We Try Them All. Full Time Truck Camper Life.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- Since we started our full time truck camper rv adventure, we’ve stayed with over 3 dozen Harvest Hosts in 20 different states. If you’re wondering what it’s like to spend the night in an orchard, weather a storm at a winery, have an abandoned town to yourself or to wake up with goats and cherry doughnuts, we’re taking you along. Misty mornings in the vineyards, rum school in a the Louisiana swamp and farm cats that move right in. It’s always an adventure! Let’s go!
Harvest Hosts is a subscription program which allows full self contained campers to spend the night at a variety of businesses from wineries to farm stands and museums. You’ll be asked to spend a minimum of $20 at your host location in exchange. It’s a wonderful way to experience local culture and cuisine as you travel the country. Wineries, breweries, cider houses, distilleries, museums, entertainment venues, attractions, golf courses, casinos, cultural institutions, restaurants, bars, farm markets, factories and more!

Welcome to Outer Limits Open Road. We are Bill and Kelli. We downsized from a big house to a 470 square foot condo. Not satisfied, we jettisoned even more stuff and took off in a 100 square foot tiny truck camper named Lucidity Base. We’re off to see the country in our RV, one quirky roadside attraction at a time. There will be treats. Please join us by subscribing to follow our journey.

I'm loving my HH membership,there's a big difference between a restful nights sleep and just a power nap at a Walmart or cracker barrel.
And that is the truth. We are sleeping at one tonight!
As a Michigander I appreciate learning about these great Michigan locations.
Just stumbled onto your channel. Just love the opening, I have always been a big fan of the Outer Limits. I watched it when it originally aired, showing my age. 😄
Excellent video! And you two are awesome! I love Harvest Hosts! Why anyone would overnight anywhere else is beyond me.
Awesome video, Kelli and Bill! Thanks for sharing all these wonderful hosts. Can’t wait for my first in a couple weeks. You two are so inspiring! Safe travels.
You are going to love it! 🍷🥖🧀🌙
We agree! If you don’t see a tiger there is no need to run😂
Thank goodness. I was afraid we were the only ones!
Thanks for the great video! We are planning to become harvest hosts this summer and it’s been great to see what others offer!
I had no idea there were so many varied HH! Very fun to see them.
Can't wait to go to a llama farm.
We have had great times in Harvest Hosts😊
There is no tiger therefore there is no reason to run... Newly sub' ed and you had me at that line! Cheers
Vie 💚💚💚🇨🇦
Welcome. You are our people.
I really enjoyed this video
Checking out harvest host and came across your video, very positive
Thank you for sharing these adventures! These look like such fun and lovely destinations
Loved your video! We just joined HH, and we haven't even got our camper yet! We get it the last week of May and can't wait to visit some HH!
So much fun ahead! It really is magical. You can read the reviews to see if it's a good fit and most can be booked online. So excited for you!
You failed to mention Harvest Hosts bought Boondockers Welcome (to the anguish of many of the Boondockers Welcome members), a program where members offer their locations free to self-contained RVers; unless you choose hookups (electric & or water) where a $5 to $15 per night.
Wewere considering Harvest Host for awhile but we will not be self-contained. It would be pretty cool to hit the road on that double decker bus! ;-) The animals are sooo cute....The U.P. is so beautiful - we love going there! Everything is so fresh after a storm. Very nice informative video! 💙Terry and Terri
We weren't either with our first camper and I was so bummed. But you never know about the future - keep it in your back pocket.
I wasn't self contained with my go fast camper (but had a bucket so technically self contained? 😂) and I was able to stay at a few harvest hosts with no problem.
I would just call ahead, explain what my rig was, promise not to poop on the ground like a savage animal and no problem!
@@Robot-Rising Thanks so much!
Nice video.
Great video. I enjoyed the footage of unique harvest host locations. It would have been helpful if you explained what was available to buy in order to support the businesses you stayed at. Especially the unique, non-food places, like the art museums and ghost town.
Nice video but jumped all over the place, need more organization. Rushed. Would have loved to enjoy all the footage a little longer.
Thank you for some comprehensive insight into Harvest Hosts. I looks like just the thing for between my anticipated boondocking efforts. I have a quick QUESTION: Would the dinette sleeping area be adequate for a 5’9” 220# man. I have a friend of 50 years and fellow widower who may travel with me. I love the guy dearly but I’m not sleeping with him! 😉
We are getting our first RV so very inexperienced. Do the harvest hosts provide water and electricity? If not where do you get these if traveling and just stopping overnight at Harvest host sites? Same with staying in parking lots overnight.
Hi. Not all rigs are equipped to boondock very long without power, so it will depend on yours. Your water will be on board in your tanks. HH was never intended to be a campground, so very few hosts have power or water. If they do it will be an additional fee and no guarantee since another guest might beat you to it. When we Harvest Host or lot dock, we have to stay at a campground every so many days to fill our water and empty our tanks. We have solar power so are unlimited in terms of power. We can run everything except air conditioning. When you choose your rig, know the capacity of your fresh water and your black and gray tanks and you'll soon learn how long you can go before stopping at a place with services. You can opt to pay for water and dump at state campgrounds or Loves truck stops, but then you've partially paid for am overnight. Bottom line is it all comes down to your rig and how long your power water and tanks can go off grid!
Oregun is how it’s pronounced 😮😅
hey friend.... enjoyed the video...
I just wished that Harvest Host would not hit my card un-aware.
If you don't want them, you have to actually go in and cancel your subscription,
else they will automatically charge you EVERY year.
You may have a bad year medically or financially.. no matter they will charge you
unless you cancel out your whole deal.
This year.... I didn't want to use it. I'm thinking that I won't sign up this year.
But guess what?
They charged hit me for $159...... Now I am a member for another year... "Like it or not"
Beware of this when you chose to buy in.....
Because of this policy... I will never buy another membership with them again....
How far on advance do you have to book?
Each host lists this in the app. Some don't mind same day visits. Most are a couple days in advance minimum.
@@OuterLimitsOpenRoad thanks 😊
How did that thing wind up in your nose?
Nice video.
