Okay, don't miss Kennedy Space Center Visitor's Center. We have lived in Cape Canaveral for almost 50 yrs. There are so many things not to miss. Of course there are all of the Orlando tourist spots. We have been there, done that. We like the old Florida, but your kids would prefer, "kid things". Fort Wilderness at Disney is pricey, but it is beautiful. The campground in immaculate, and there is easy access to all of the Disney attractions; Boat, Bus, etc. The kids will love it. There are two pools, restaurants, dog park, playgrounds, so you really never have to leave the campground. We live on the easy coast, just east of Orlando. I am sure that you saw "a million" signs advertising our famous Ron Jons. But it is worth checking out. There is also a campground in Cape Canaveral, Jetty Park. It was closed because of Covid, but recently reopened. It is directly on the channel where the cruise ships would normally enter and exit, but of course the cruise industry have been shut down. Jetty Park is also on the ocean, with a pier and a fantastic beach. Well, there are a few suggestions. Whatever you do, make sure you can cool off. Pools, Ocean, etc. By the way, we also have a Bounder. If you need or want any other information, just let me know.....
Thanks for the tips! We went to Kennedy a few years ago and LOVED it! We're going to try and make it to a SpaceX launch soon I hope. We've also been to the Fort and got a reservation for a couple nights there later this year as well. Jetty Park sounds really cool though - we'll have to look it up!
Thank you Brian and Erin for this video. I see you had to move at least 2 times in one day. Then you moved again the next day. But it is all good. The parks looked really nice. You do a great job at seeing that your stuff doesn’t move around while driving or fall. Nice you hooked up with sone subscribers. That was nice. Great job of packing up and loading up and hitching the car. You have a really nice family. I’ll see you all in next video.
My favorite thing was on spring break we rented a mustang convertible and drove it on the sand in Datona Beach right down to the waters edge and splashed the car in the surf while my friends were sitting on the back of the car with their feet on the seats! Up and down the beach it was so fun. Of course we stopped to swim too.
That sounds like fun! There were a lot of cars out on the beach when we were there earlier this week but we just parked up top and walked down to the sand. We may do a day "on" the beach eventually!
Oh I’m so glad y’all are living. And yes. Find the beach area that is less populated. We are going to gulf shores aug 5-12. That’s our plan. Go early. Leave during busiest time. Then back our later in the day. Hope you enjoyed.
Glad you changed spots for electric hook up. I would go to Disneyland if were open. I would go to museums I would go see anything there is to go see. I would go to Orlando. I would take in the sights. Hope you have fun and see you soon! Sherri
Another great video. Thank you for showing us what moving day looks like for you guys. Beautiful rig and super cute kids. You guys are rocking this RV life. Looking forward to more Florida adventures with you guys. Our kiddos want us to go to Destin. Specifically for the white sand beaches. They have asked over and over. Hoping to get down that way one day.
Loved seeing everyone half-awake :). My Florida fave: Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, an Audubon preserve outside Naples. Wonderful long boardwalk through the swamp, with alligators, turtles, wood storks and a whole bunch of other critters.
It's nice to see you guys back on the road.The rig looked nice and organized, don't worry about having everything in order for the tour! We love to see the progression and the behind the scenes, uncut, footage!
We put a hook on the wood part above our ref. We connect a bungee cord from that hook down to the bottom of the ref. We have a drawer below our ref so hook the bungee below that. Keeps freezer and ref door closed. Only have a 2 door ref, not 3 like yours.
I love tagging along on your adventures! As a kid, I used to get excited to see a new state sign on road trips! Who am I kidding, I still get excited to see a new state sign on road trips! 😀
Before you hook up power always plug in a surge protector to check the pedestal first before you hook up the RV, you can get a wireless system for your lights for the tow vehicle
What we do is use the portable one first before we even plug our rig in, this way if it’s bad we just move. Please make sure that your onboard unit can protect you against hi and low voltage, many don’t have that option
My favorite beach spot is Ponce Inlet. I grew up in Volusia County and only moved away a few years ago and Ponce Inlet was always quiet and more residential. There are also parking lots with beach access available.
Oh.... You have to be very careful and maintain safety as well. For a young and healthy person, it may not be much a concern, but for older persons and having health issue problem this pandemic/virus is no joke. You have got a beautiful family to look after and taking care of. Please be careful.
@@Five2Go Hi, guys... Stay safe and good luck on your journey, if we are being Careful, there's no need to worry. Enjoying moments with the family is Priceless. Hope to see more videos coming up soon...
It's must be very exciting to move! I can feel the excitement as you all prepare to move out! It's as I am there with you all! You guys are such a lovely family. I wish you all the fun and adventure ahead. Stay healthy and safe and active y'all!
If you are thinking about Disney (not sure if that is your thing or not) it’s surprisingly not busy and they are doing a very good job of sanitization, keeping social Distancing, and making sure your face mask is on. Also, a quieter beach in that area is just north of Ormond at Flagler Beach. We stayed at Gamble Rodgers State Park and the beach there is not busy at all. I do not believe they charge to use the beach on that side of A!A either.
We ended up just south of Flagler Beach, it was empty and gorgeous! As for Disney, we're probably going to end up going before too long. We had Annual Passes two winters ago when we were down here in our last RV and are going to get them again soon we think. We've been keeping an eye on what they've been doing and it looks like they're doing a great job.
Five2Go glad you guys found a place. We enjoyed the few days we were there. Originally from Florida so I’m a beach bum anyway. We’ve been impressed with Disney. They seem to be doing a good job.
Great fun watching you all making your way down to Vacation Land of the South! Looks like our southern vaca won’t be happening until early spring!!! So a bit jealous😜. Aside from the obvious attractions of Fla. there’s a 500+ vendor flea market in Cape Coral that you won’t want to miss. Have fun!
I was born in Florida and have lived here all of my 59 years. I am not nearly as excited as you are about florida. Haha!! Since you’re up that way, I suggest touring Cape Canaveral if they’re open. It’s amazing. Of course, Disney World! If you can swing it and if there’s room, stay at Fort Wilderness. That’s the Disney campground. There’s absolutely NOTHING like it, anywhere. It’s pricey but amazing. You can ride horses on the beach in Ft. Pierce. There’s so many things I want to suggest but I don’t know what the status is due to COVID. There’s a campground called River Ranch in central Fla. Very nice and lots to do. You can take airboat rides and see gators. Have fun.
We live on the gulf coast and we love the beach 🏖. Haven’t been this year but as soon as we can we are going. We have a lot of seniors in Venice and they have the tendency to park themselves right next to you no social distancing. So be prepared for this to happen 🤷♀️🤭🥺
We found a nice empty stretch just south of Flagler Beach and it was lovely. We're going to hit the gulf coast too and are keeping an eye out for good places to go...
Stay away from Daytona. Head north on A1A and into Ormond By the Sea. Many places to pull over along the way. No crowds or cars on beach to worry about.
Thanks for the video guys. Love the channel. We just bought our Class A and we will be uploading the experience soon. Wanted to ask you. I see you went to multiple campgrounds. Did you have a discount card or membership? Thanks again
Palm coast north of Daytona about an hour drive is a great place to go for the beach. Not busy at all in several areas...we were down in June and had basically 1/4 mile stretch of the beach to ourselves in the area we stayed.
The "hidden drawer" in the dash? It's not the contents of the drawer that are banging around - it's the drawer itself. There's a bit of up-down wiggle in the rails and the whole drawer moves when I go over rough roads. It also doesn't stay latched and will slide open on big bumps. It takes all of 10 seconds to slide it out and it definitely doesn't make noise then 😋
Hey guys glad that you made it to Florida safe and sound. Recommend in Ocala JuniperSprings and Alexander Spring. Also there is Wilderness RV resort off 40 in Ocklawaha also Lake Waldena Resorts on the lake about two miles from wilderness. Google it and you can see everything it has. Going to pick up my dolly tomorrow in Ocala.
Favs in Florida (assuming you don't have to deal with pandemics): Universal Studios (so much better than Disney), Spacex Launches (camp at Jetty Park), Topsail Hill State Park (panhandle), Old St. Augustine, Key West, Pensacola Naval Air Museum, Camping Ocala NF area (not in summer though).
We're Disney people but we enjoy Universal too 😉 We definitely want to try and make it to a launch while we're down here, that has always been on our list but the timing hasn't worked out.
The parks here in Florida are pretty quiet. Thousand Trails Orlando is maybe 1/3 full? This isn't RV season - that's December to April down here and everywhere fills up with snowbirds and fulltimers.
A definite must see is Shark Valley in Everglades. There are alligators everywhere. You can book a tram tour in advance. The guides are very passionate and knowledgeable. There are also many birds to see. A truly amazing place. Your whole family will enjoy this. I don’t think there was an entrance fee. Just a fee for the tram. Also, if possible, get there early as parking fills up and you will have a long walk from the road. Safe travels 😊
Hi, may I ask what you do for a living? Also, what are your plans for as the kids get into the older teens? Really considering full-time RV for our move across country. Thank you.
Five2Go -We stayed in Perdido Key area and it wasn’t much of a drive but be prepared to climb a lot of steps. I had jello legs by the time I got to the top.
Siesta key beach is a great beach,the sand is like baby powder,never get hot,but I can’t recall if there is a rv park,close to the beach,great restaurants on the island..
I live here but am over an hour away from the gulf and more than 2 hours from the Atlantic. We had not been to the Big Water in many years until we camped at St Andrews State Park last week. It's up in Panama City Beach. Had a great time! With the kids being young, you have no choice but to take in all the Theme Parks. I have no use for them at this point in life but I hope you enjoy. There is a lot of old Florida history around if you look for it. Enjoy... and maybe we'll meet up while you re here.
I enjoy your adventures with your 3 kids and dog. We’ve been motorhome owners for years but now since we’re both retired we will travel more when this Covid things end. I never desired to do it full time especially with little kids and a dog. Hence, my question-why have you chosen this lifestyle? When will you go back to sticks and bricks? Anyway stay safe! Interested from Pennsylvania.
Did you check to see if your tow vehicle has any special instructions for towing with the drive wheels spinning? Some vehicles with an automatic transmission require you to run the towed car's engine with the transmission in gear to pump the transmission fluid around the gears every few hundred miles, since neutral doesn't disconnect the transmission from the wheels.
The C-Max is super easy. Run it for 5 minutes before towing and after every 500 miles. We just towed it about 2800 miles over the last month and didn't have a single issue.
Wishing you guys safe travels! I watch and live vicariously through you. I love the new rig - it sure seems like home. We just moved from NY to NJ and bought a house.......I would still love to get 'something' to travel around in. Who knows, maybe one day we'll be walking by as you're filming too! Be safe, Georgeanne. PS - how is Vector (sp) liking the new rig?
We have a class A and our frig has a lock on it to keep it from opening. Can you add a fridge lock instead of using a spring rod? Our cabinets have latches on them and never have come open on us even during hard stops and wild turns. we had to upgrade a latch on our dinette drawer to keep it closed. We've been Rving with this coach for 3 years. If your latches are not keeping your stuff in, then why not upgrade your latches? Another suggestion, have you heard of snap pads?
Utterly ridiculous that the manufacturer didn’t provide locks for the fridge-freezer...sheeesh! Have fun guys, wish I’d known y’all were going through Georgia, I would’ve waved. Lol.
It's a Samsung fridge so it wasn't built for RVs. We've seen some residential models with locks on them but I don't see a way to retrofit any on this one. It's not a big deal!
On the west coast is Anna Maria island which has amazing beaches. La barge in Sarasota where you can take a boat ride and see dolphins and other sea life. It is also near the huge statue of the sailor kissing a nurse!!
You’re WOWers? Hubs & sons have played it for, well, forever! I think when it started. What are you, hoard or the other one? I just say they’re killing Orcs. Yep, I don’t play 🤣. Those places look really nice. Someday we hope to go back, like taking a month to get to Key West from Alberta.
We've been playing since WoW came out in 2004, and EverQuest for years before that 😜 We're hoping to get to the Keys this year - we just have to figure out the timing and score a reservation down there somewhere!
Five2Go you’d fit right in with my gamer guys.🤣. We had a great reservation in 2009, Florida loved Canadians because we weren’t hit hard like the States were. Snagged a room for under $100 in a boutique inn. It was mid July so it was also “off season”. Check for celebrations there, will be even harder to find a place during one. Stay safe & have fun yet be smart about it. Ya know, that works for any year!
I'm sure you have probably answered this before, but why are you traveling with two cars in addition to the RV? Why can't you use the minivan for transport at the location you stay? Sorry to repeat this question if so!!! Love the channel!
Glad you are close to your final destination. I am from SC and had not heard of the RV park you stayed at. A few years back my youngest son for a BBQ sauce that is South Cackalacky sauce or something, He thought it was the coolest thing he had seen. He even had his wife, a GA girl by way of FL, LOL running around talking about South Cackalacky. I wasn't so happy to hear that term. I thought is sounded a little derogatory. Not sure exactly where that got started or why. Growing up and still even now it bothers me that people mix up NC & SC. You don't mix up GA & AL, so why NC & SC? LOL We did a lot of camping in NC when I was little. But we spent every summer at Myrtle Beach. I also have family in Charleston and thought it was a beautiful city. I haven't been in a while and would love to visit as a tourist and not just to visit family. HUGS~Donna
@@endofsociety hahaha! That's why I left CT in the early 90s and came out west to Seattle. Nights are cool and dry. I just open the window and put on a fan and it's heaven!
We're pulling a Ford C-Max with the ReadyBrake tow bar system. It's a great little setup and the C-Max tows really well. There's no fiddling around with fuses or a complicated routine, you basically just put it in neutral and turn it off and it's ready to go.
That's hilarious! We used to live in Jacksonville, NC and we always called the Carolinas...North Cacalacky and South Cacalacky. (not sure of the spelling. :D )
Salt lamp question. I've read that turning it off and on isn't beneficial. We've had one large one "on" at our sticks & bricks for over 3 years. I don't want to lose it when we go rv'ing. Any thoughts?
We just use it for the glow - we really like the color of the light. I imagine whatever benefits you get from one would work once it's back up to temperature and ours is on the whole time we're set up in a campsite. Right now that's 2-3 weeks at a time.
why don't you get the acrylic gooey stay in place stickers (the removable ones they are amazing) like for the salt lamp/toothbrushes , etc - stuff that is always on the counters
The salt lamp is the only thing that "lives" on the counter really, and we've thought about trying that stuff. It's so top-heavy though and would do a lot of damage if it fell and rolled around so I don't know how confident we are leaving it out like that...
We love your videos an your sweet kids an so you use a c pac I have because of my breathing my heart stop a second an since I use it iv been great do you get good sleep don’t wake up much why don’t you toll your car so your wife an kids can all ride in the RV
Five2Go I’m sorry I didn’t see that video I’m sorry your video of you leaving going to where you were going I saw you had two happy travels and God bless stay safe in this crazy times
I love the paint job of your rig. We will be buying a toyhauler and I want it to have a full body paint job to look pretty. I don't like the sticker graphics on most fifth wheels.
This one is a 30th anniversary edition so it has a unique paint scheme. Most RVs are pretty boring or ugly looking - it is what it is. You could pay a company to wrap one, but that definitely isn't cheap.
I’ve learned so much from Brian and Erin in the few weeks I’ve been watching thank you.
Okay, don't miss Kennedy Space Center Visitor's Center. We have lived in Cape Canaveral for almost 50 yrs. There are so many things not to miss. Of course there are all of the Orlando tourist spots.

I love the amount of space you guys have. It's literally looks like you're sleeping in a hotel but it's mobile. Love it!
We just found your channel and love it. We just bought a Pop-Up camper and are excited to start visiting all these cool parks
Thank you Brian and Erin for this video. I see you had to move at least 2 times in one day. Then you moved again the next day. But it is all good. The parks looked really nice. You do a great job at seeing that your stuff doesn’t move around while driving or fall. Nice you hooked up with sone subscribers. That was nice. Great job of packing up and loading up and hitching the car. You have a really nice family. I’ll see you all in next video.

I'm so glad I did it! It was my only vacation I've ever had without my children... I love vaca, with the kids but that was special.
I can understand morning fog. Your getting ready to leave for big travel is the best way of mentioning this. But that is great.
I really like this family. You can learn so much from them.
Thank you so much Bonnie! 😍
Oh I’m so glad y’all are living. And yes. Find the beach area that is less populated. We are going to gulf shores aug 5-12. That’s our plan. Go early. Leave during busiest time. Then back our later in the day. Hope you enjoyed.

I love you guys showing real life on the road and not just talking about it.
Thanks!
Stay safe on the road and stay alert.
We will, thanks Cindy!
I love that you are talking, full-on convo and the kids are still sleeping right there !
Once they're out, they're OUT! 😉
Another great video. Thank you for showing us what moving day looks like for you guys. Beautiful rig and super cute kids. You guys are rocking this RV life. Looking forward to more Florida adventures with you guys.

Stay safe guys and live it up!
Thanks Marilyn!
We put a hook on the wood part above our ref. We connect a bungee cord from that hook down to the bottom of the ref. We have a drawer below our ref so hook the bungee below that. Keeps freezer and ref door closed. Only have a 2 door ref, not 3 like yours.
That's a smart idea! I'd have to run a cord all over the place with the handles to the sides though 😜
I love tagging along on your adventures!
As a kid, I used to get excited to see a new state sign on road trips! Who am I kidding, I still get excited to see a new state sign on road trips! 😀
Haha! We've seen quite a few state signs in the last couple years and it never gets old 👍😁👍
Exhausted just watching all that work.
Great job and have an amazing adventure.
👍👍👍
Haha, this rig is way less work than the last one was! Thanks for watching Monica!
Glad your travels were safe. Like how you lock down the inside good advise using those items. Be safe. Enjoy your travels 😎.
Thanks Mike!
Before you hook up power always plug in a surge protector to check the pedestal first before you hook up the RV, you can get a wireless system for your lights for the tow vehicle
We know all about surge protectors and used one on our travel trailer. This rig has one built in next to the cord reel which is super handy!
What we do is use the portable one first before we even plug our rig in, this way if it’s bad we just move.
Please make sure that your onboard unit can protect you against hi and low voltage, many don’t have that option
I enjoyed seeing the Welcome to Florida sign! (Been a long time!). Thanks for taking us w you on the whole drive!👍
Thanks Eleanor!
My favorite beach spot is Ponce Inlet. I grew up in Volusia County and only moved away a few years ago and Ponce Inlet was always quiet and more residential. There are also parking lots with beach access available.
We'll add it to the list! Thanks Helen!
If you haven't been to a Florida spring, it is a must do. If you are in Central FL, my favorites there are Kelly Park and Wekiwa Springs.
We went to Blue Springs (I think that's what it's called, with the manatees) a few years ago and loved it. We definitely want to visit more of them!
@@Five2Go Tubing down Rainbow River is awesome too! 🌈👍Welcome back to FL!
Visiting my son is obviously my favorite. Visiting Suncoast model rails is another, in Largo, Fl. Just something different from the norm.
That sounds neat!
Oh.... You have to be very careful and maintain safety as well. For a young and healthy person, it may not be much a concern, but for older persons and having health issue problem this pandemic/virus is no joke. You have got a beautiful family to look after and taking care of. Please be careful.
We are being careful! We know we have a lot to lose and don't want to jeopardize our health at all.
@@Five2Go Hi, guys... Stay safe and good luck on your journey, if we are being
Careful, there's no need to worry. Enjoying moments with the family is
Priceless. Hope to see more videos coming up soon...
My favorite thing about Florida is living here!
Haha! Thanks for watching Sheryl!
I love it too!! We have family in Vero. While I have an issue with humidity, the no-see-ums, (and mosquitos), eat me up something awful! :-(
Lol
Welcome to Florida! Stay safe.
Thanks Glenn!
Great video! Can’t wait to hit the road and do some traveling myself. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Kevin!
It's must be very exciting to move! I can feel the excitement as you all prepare to move out! It's as I am there with you all!

Thanks Jessie! 😍
Thanks for the video guys. Love the channel. We just bought our Class A and we will be uploading the experience soon. Wanted to ask you. I see you went to multiple campgrounds. Did you have a discount card or membership? Thanks again
Pamela Mallory what membership was my question. Not knowing what ones are good or bad to get
We primarily use Thousand Trails and have a write-up on how we make the most of the membership cost on our blog here: www.five2go.com/tt
We enjoyed our visit with you guys, as well! We will be in Florida soon!
Let us know when you get here!
Palm coast north of Daytona about an hour drive is a great place to go for the beach. Not busy at all in several areas...we were down in June and had basically 1/4 mile stretch of
the beach to ourselves in the area we stayed.
Awesome! We went up a bit towards Flagler Beach and it was empty 👍
Five2Go Flagler beach is great also. Oceanside beach bar and grill...shrimp&grits are some of my favorite
What a cool tshirt idea. "Bounce, Shake & Wiggle" with graphics of the RV's like on your "Choose your own adventure" tshirts.
You can line the drawer with felt and the edges tape it first to test the quietness then glue into place.
The "hidden drawer" in the dash? It's not the contents of the drawer that are banging around - it's the drawer itself. There's a bit of up-down wiggle in the rails and the whole drawer moves when I go over rough roads. It also doesn't stay latched and will slide open on big bumps. It takes all of 10 seconds to slide it out and it definitely doesn't make noise then 😋
Stay safe stay healthy guy's God speed..And I have a question..Do you like motor coach bus?
Thanks Jay! We like it so far!

I lived near West Palm Beach for 13 years. Delray Beach is a beautiful small town with lots to enjoy.
Awesome - we'll add it to the list!
Favs in Florida (assuming you don't have to deal with pandemics): Universal Studios (so much better than Disney), Spacex Launches (camp at Jetty Park), Topsail Hill State Park (panhandle), Old St. Augustine, Key West, Pensacola Naval Air Museum, Camping Ocala NF area (not in summer though).
We're Disney people but we enjoy Universal too 😉 We definitely want to try and make it to a launch while we're down here, that has always been on our list but the timing hasn't worked out.
SO want to visit Florida one day soon! So I'll be watching all the videos. Great video!
Thanks Dean!
Another great video, thanks guys. How full are the RV parks that you're staying at?
The parks here in Florida are pretty quiet. Thousand Trails Orlando is maybe 1/3 full? This isn't RV season - that's December to April down here and everywhere fills up with snowbirds and fulltimers.
Live in NE FL and the beach is literally is never even close to crowded. Hope you found a great spot! Safe travels!
We found a good spot south of Flagler Beach - it was great!
A definite must see is Shark Valley in Everglades. There are alligators everywhere. You can book a tram tour in advance. The guides are very passionate and knowledgeable. There are also many birds to see. A truly amazing place. Your whole family will enjoy this. I don’t think there was an entrance fee. Just a fee for the tram. Also, if possible, get there early as parking fills up and you will have a long walk from the road.
Safe travels 😊
Hi, may I ask what you do for a living? Also, what are your plans for as the kids get into the older teens? Really considering full-time RV for our move across country. Thank you.
You have to go to Kelly Rock Springs Fl. My kids are all grown. But they loved to go tubing...
That sounds great - we'll add it to the list!
I think I would try a bungee chord from the freezer to the fridge handles then you could still get to the bathroom
The bar pops off and on super quickly and even the kids can do it so it's not a hassle.
I loved climbing the historic light house somewhere near Florabama..
❤️🇺🇸🦠😷
We'll have to look for it. We have family up in the panhandle and in southern Alabama that we need to visit.
Five2Go -We stayed in Perdido Key area and it wasn’t much of a drive but be prepared to climb a lot of steps. I had jello legs by the time I got to the top.
So many great tips, love this rig. Shhhh, also loving the blue.
Thanks Susan!
Siesta key beach is a great beach,the sand is like baby powder,never get hot,but I can’t recall if there is a rv park,close to the beach,great restaurants on the island..
We've been hearing a lot about Siesta Key! We're actually not that far and could do a day trip out there instead of taking the rig.
Well I think you guys would love it..enjoy,stay safe
I live here but am over an hour away from the gulf and more than 2 hours from the Atlantic. We had not been to the Big Water in many years until we camped at St Andrews State Park last week. It's up in Panama City Beach. Had a great time! With the kids being young, you have no choice but to take in all the Theme Parks. I have no use for them at this point in life but I hope you enjoy. There is a lot of old Florida history around if you look for it. Enjoy... and maybe we'll meet up while you re here.
We're planning a meetup as soon as we're able to safely do so, though that may not be until next year.
Awesome and stay safe
Thanks!
I’ve been wondering how people store loose stuff while traveling. Thank you so much!
I enjoy your adventures with your 3 kids and dog. We’ve been motorhome owners for years but now since we’re both retired we will travel more when this Covid things end. I never desired to do it full time especially with little kids and a dog. Hence, my question-why have you chosen this lifestyle? When will you go back to sticks and bricks? Anyway stay safe! Interested from Pennsylvania.
Stay in the AC!!! LMBO.. it's hot HERE!!! Enjoy!!
Haha, thanks Curtis!
Welcome to Florida ☀️
Did you check to see if your tow vehicle has any special instructions for towing with the drive wheels spinning? Some vehicles with an automatic transmission require you to run the towed car's engine with the transmission in gear to pump the transmission fluid around the gears every few hundred miles, since neutral doesn't disconnect the transmission from the wheels.
The C-Max is super easy. Run it for 5 minutes before towing and after every 500 miles. We just towed it about 2800 miles over the last month and didn't have a single issue.
Wishing you guys safe travels! I watch and live vicariously through you. I love the new rig - it sure seems like home. We just moved from NY to NJ and bought a house.......I would still love to get 'something' to travel around in. Who knows, maybe one day we'll be walking by as you're filming too! Be safe, Georgeanne. PS - how is Vector (sp) liking the new rig?
Thanks Georgeanne! Vector likes it when it's not moving - we've got plenty of soft places for him to lay down 😜
@@Five2Go Ah, poor Vector. Hopefully he'll settle down and come to enjoy the journey :-)
We have a class A and our frig has a lock on it to keep it from opening. Can you add a fridge lock instead of using a spring rod? Our cabinets have latches on them and never have come open on us even during hard stops and wild turns. we had to upgrade a latch on our dinette drawer to keep it closed. We've been Rving with this coach for 3 years. If your latches are not keeping your stuff in, then why not upgrade your latches? Another suggestion, have you heard of snap pads?
Enjoyed your videos, look forward to seeing more.👍🏴🏴🏴🏴👍🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴👍
Thanks Linda!
Love the insta mags it’s fun
Love you Brannan! ❤️❤️❤️
They’re so cute. They all had that I just woke up puffy eyes and should’ve let me sleep longer look. 🤣👍
They're really cute until they start going nuts after they're fully awake 🤣
Thx for the tour😉
Welcome to Florida!!!
Utterly ridiculous that the manufacturer didn’t provide locks for the fridge-freezer...sheeesh! Have fun guys, wish I’d known y’all were going through Georgia, I would’ve waved. Lol.
It's a Samsung fridge so it wasn't built for RVs. We've seen some residential models with locks on them but I don't see a way to retrofit any on this one. It's not a big deal!
On the west coast is Anna Maria island which has amazing beaches. La barge in Sarasota where you can take a boat ride and see dolphins and other sea life. It is also near the huge statue of the sailor kissing a nurse!!
You’re WOWers? Hubs & sons have played it for, well, forever! I think when it started. What are you, hoard or the other one? I just say they’re killing Orcs. Yep, I don’t play 🤣.
Those places look really nice. Someday we hope to go back, like taking a month to get to Key West from Alberta.
We've been playing since WoW came out in 2004, and EverQuest for years before that 😜 We're hoping to get to the Keys this year - we just have to figure out the timing and score a reservation down there somewhere!
Five2Go you’d fit right in with my gamer guys.🤣. We had a great reservation in 2009, Florida loved Canadians because we weren’t hit hard like the States were. Snagged a room for under $100 in a boutique inn. It was mid July so it was also “off season”. Check for celebrations there, will be even harder to find a place during one.
Stay safe & have fun yet be smart about it. Ya know, that works for any year!
Gainesville try devils Millhopper if you want some good exercise easy going down up is another lol
I'm sure you have probably answered this before, but why are you traveling with two cars in addition to the RV? Why can't you use the minivan for transport at the location you stay? Sorry to repeat this question if so!!! Love the channel!
We have answered that! ua-cam.com/video/aCneYwPGypc/v-deo.html
@@Five2Go Thanks for being patient enough to post the answer again! I sincerely appreciate it. Ray
Glad you are close to your final destination. I am from SC and had not heard of the RV park you stayed at. A few years back my youngest son for a BBQ sauce that is South Cackalacky sauce or something, He thought it was the coolest thing he had seen. He even had his wife, a GA girl by way of FL, LOL running around talking about South Cackalacky. I wasn't so happy to hear that term. I thought is sounded a little derogatory. Not sure exactly where that got started or why. Growing up and still even now it bothers me that people mix up NC & SC. You don't mix up GA & AL, so why NC & SC? LOL We did a lot of camping in NC when I was little. But we spent every summer at Myrtle Beach. I also have family in Charleston and thought it was a beautiful city. I haven't been in a while and would love to visit as a tourist and not just to visit family. HUGS~Donna
My favorite thing to do in Florida, is sitting inside where the AC is.
Haha! The AC is lovely 😂
🤣😂🤣 At least until sunset. Depending on where you are, it can be quite comfortable after the sun goes down.
@@endofsociety nope, not in the summer. And 75° and it starts getting to hot for me. And I hate humidity. 95° at 3am is too hot for anywhere!😉
lisa evans 😂 it’s been like that here in nj for over a month now. I’ve never prayed for cloud covered days before this summer.
@@endofsociety hahaha! That's why I left CT in the early 90s and came out west to Seattle. Nights are cool and dry. I just open the window and put on a fan and it's heaven!
i love Florida
We do too!
My favorite thing to do in Florida is visit my daughter jump on the jet ski.
Awesome!
Visit Vero Beach i loved it, not really crowded either.
Well done! Curious if you notice any difference when towing the small car? Safe travels!!
I don't "feel" it back there but it does take a little longer to accelerate and brake. Otherwise the handling and maneuvering are the same.
Siesta Beach at Sunset 🌅
It's on the list! 😍
Awww. I didn't see where you left Colorado. I was going to offer to follow you to Florida and see my son. Lol Hagd. Be safe.🙂
We left Colorado almost a month ago! 😜
@@Five2Go I see that I'm catching up 🙃
Stay safe 💗
We will, thank you Anne!
Y’all are so cute! I’ve never been to FL so I wouldn’t have a clue. Have fun though!!!
Thanks Wanda!
Hello, new to your channel. What car are you towing and what is the tow system your using. Thank you. Love the videos!
We're pulling a Ford C-Max with the ReadyBrake tow bar system. It's a great little setup and the C-Max tows really well. There's no fiddling around with fuses or a complicated routine, you basically just put it in neutral and turn it off and it's ready to go.
Good Morning from Northern Thailand
Hi Scott!
Visit one of the many springs that florida has!
We've been to a couple on previous trips and they're really cool! What's your favorite one?
We love Silver Glenn Springs.
That's hilarious! We used to live in Jacksonville, NC and we always called the Carolinas...North Cacalacky and South Cacalacky. (not sure of the spelling. :D )
Salt lamp question. I've read that turning it off and on isn't beneficial. We've had one large one "on" at our sticks & bricks for over 3 years. I don't want to lose it when we go rv'ing. Any thoughts?
We just use it for the glow - we really like the color of the light. I imagine whatever benefits you get from one would work once it's back up to temperature and ours is on the whole time we're set up in a campsite. Right now that's 2-3 weeks at a time.
why don't you get the acrylic gooey stay in place stickers (the removable ones they are amazing) like for the salt lamp/toothbrushes , etc - stuff that is always on the counters
The salt lamp is the only thing that "lives" on the counter really, and we've thought about trying that stuff. It's so top-heavy though and would do a lot of damage if it fell and rolled around so I don't know how confident we are leaving it out like that...
We love your videos an your sweet kids an so you use a c pac I have because of my breathing my heart stop a second an since I use it iv been great do you get good sleep don’t wake up much why don’t you toll your car so your wife an kids can all ride in the RV
We explained why we're traveling with two cars in this video from a couple weeks ago: ua-cam.com/video/aCneYwPGypc/v-deo.html
Five2Go I’m sorry I didn’t see that video I’m sorry your video of you leaving going to where you were going I saw you had two happy travels and God bless stay safe in this crazy times
With the cases climbing in Florida you are headed there ? You really want to rethink this decision.
We have to be in this area because of work obligations we committed to back in Jan/Feb. We're doing everything we feel that we need to to stay safe.
I love the paint job of your rig. We will be buying a toyhauler and I want it to have a full body paint job to look pretty. I don't like the sticker graphics on most fifth wheels.
This one is a 30th anniversary edition so it has a unique paint scheme. Most RVs are pretty boring or ugly looking - it is what it is. You could pay a company to wrap one, but that definitely isn't cheap.
QUESTION: Why do you drive a second car? Why isn't everyone riding in the Bounder?
We explain all of that here: ua-cam.com/video/aCneYwPGypc/v-deo.html
Please help settle a debate between my wife and I. Does your car’s front wheels turn with the rig when in tow?
They do! In tow mode the transmission is in neutral and the front wheels are unlocked so they turn whichever way the rig pulls it.
Thank you. Had to admit I was wrong...
