    Fun ! I love seeing your Piper in the water. We took our Piper & Jackson to Indiana Dunes on July 3rd. Scorching hot & crowded and yes, underwhelming visitors center (got my stamp and got out of there) True story at Wrigley....the first time I took Vinnie he fell asleep behind home plate (jet lag) Thanks for taking us along, we are currently in south GA taking our senior discount at state parks. Wanda & Vinnie, Piper & Jackson

      We hope to see you soon too! The only team we truly root for in this house is Clemson Tiger football. (Blair only....Brad does not invest in any team). Otherwise, we typically root for the home team of wherever we are. We both enjoy competition and community at these events.

    Looks like you could use a larger funnel! Thanks for the tip as we have not had to add water that way (yet as we are still working). Love the ideas we are picking up from you 3 (yes we need ideas of things for our 2 dogs as well as us) for places to visit and baseball games are on our list. We were watching that game on MLB channel! Air Gear has some neat things and have noted some of the ones you have mentioned in your videos.

    Indiana Dunes is one of the Parks I want to see. Looks like a nice campground and getting good wifi service is great. I'm disappointed that the visitor Center was under whelming. Good to know about the flooded bike path, that I would not enjoy. I also noticed your convection oven accessories sitting on the stove behind Blaire, the rack and pan. Do you use them often. I find that we use ours a lot. Cookies, roasting potatoes and veggies, cobblers, pizza's etc... Did you happen to see a comment I posted on one of your videos last week. It was about the bolt on the shocks coming off. We were at an AS Rally for Southern California in Mission Bay. One of the gentlemen went around and checked all the AS that were there. He said he heard about the problem from one of your videos. Nice work. We did have a problem. The screw was there but the bolt was missing. The screw was jammed in lopsided. We went to Home Depot to get the parts then had to lift the AS up as if we were changing a tire to remove the pressure off the screw. We finally got it to unscrew and then replaced it correctly with the new bolt & washers. Thx for your detailed informative weekly posting. We learn so much from them.

    • @ThirteenAdventures
      @ThirteenAdventures  3 місяці тому

      Hi! We do use the convection oven often and love it! So many seem to be hesitant to use it and we dont know why!
      I did see the comment and if I havent responded yet, I will today as I typically go through them once a week or so and reply. So glad you found the issue and were able to get it sorted out.
      Thank you for making us a part of your adventure! Hope you have a wonderful day.

    I saw the UAB hat making an appearance again! I also had an adverse reaction when I saw your dog rolling in the sand then thought about our golden doing the same and wanting to crawl in bed with us. Lol. We would never get all that sand out, but IF we needed to... which portable vacuum system are you guys using on the road? I tote my small shop vac around in the back of the truck when the Airstream gets bad on a long trip, but I would listen to another recommendation for a solution! Great job, again!
