Move at you own pace . You just faced a major trama. Take all the time you need where you feel you need to. Glad to see you and Bella are traveling and having some fun . Stay safe , hugs for Bella .
You are so right! When dogs all dogs do by instinct! chomp their food, gobble, etc. they swallow half the treat or whole in one bite 😂 their able to taste more of it this way! Dave's the man! 👏 pay attention to your fur babies viewers!
This is one of my favorite state parks. The bath house has individual bathrooms to shower in. Be sure and check out Fontainebleau SP in nearby Mandeville, La. BTW if you are a Louisiana, Arkansas or Maryland resident and have an America the Beautiful Senior pass, camping is 1/2 price at all LA state parks.
Many people who start out with dollies, end up going to flat tow. The straps are a pita, on top of that, you're supposed to stop and check them often; some advise as often as every 50 miles. All he really had to do was pull both forward a few feet and let you in at which point he could have backed up and taken his time. Anxiety gets people every time. Bella is gourgeous as ever.
Hi Dave you was in my neck of the woods on the other side of the lake you could’ve went to the spillway it’s Army Corps of Engineers in norco 14 days safe travels back
My time spent as a camp host gave me the opportunity to watch people. One thing I’ve noticed is those folk with the big expensive RV’s they never go outside. One couple even Doordash it for food
Bella is such a great companion traveler. When you show a close up of her face I melt. I really Love her and I hope that we will always be able to see her . Please , Dave. enjoy your evening and sleep well my friend. Hugs, Louise
I'll post a big of the current winter weather in PA🌨️, then you won't be in a hurry to get back lol. My Coachmen TT is a '97 and usually the oldest in the campground but sure beats a tent😇
Thanks for the tip on the park. We are a month later this year than last year,our plan was to go across I-40 but that looks like it will see 20° to 30° at night so we’re thinking of heading towards this park from Amarillo TX where we are now. Thanks for the tip. Cold weather is driving us south this coming weekend. From your location, Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores AL is beautiful with outstanding bike trails but not cheap. We stayed there for four days on our way west. Not sure when the weather window opens up to go North to Massachusetts yet. We travel with two cats so we don’t want it too cold at night. Stay warm since Mother Nature doesn’t want to let go of winter this year.
I must have missed you saying you were quitting. I understood that you were going to camp in van. I hope you know I appreciate your video's very much and enjoy everyone of them. I hope you are still gonna post videos. Stay safe and sound Dave and Bella 🙏🙏❤️❤️🐾🐾✌️☕
Fairview-Riverside is one of our favorite places to camp! We always park down by the river. Fontainebleau is another good one down there. Safe travels!
Pretty park. Doing your spring cleaning. I like the Coachman, has character. You have got her all taken care of. Hopefully next spot is decent and you can stay a bit, relax. Too cold to head home. 🙂👍
Welcome to SE Louisiana! I had to chuckle when you said that guy liked purple. You are in LSU Tigers territory now. Colors are purple and gold. Geaux Tigers! Lol.
Hi there Dave glad to see you’re back on your feet. I was just back in my hometown visiting family and friends this past week h which is about an hour south of your hometown. Came home two weeks early back to Florida home because They were calling for a winter storm. So glad we’re back south talk to a friend they have 7 inches of snow right now. Safe travels I enjoyed your videos.
Idk? Where you're at today 3-14-23. But in Southern West Virginia it's been nasty cold for the past couple days. Been in the mid 20's all day with light flurries. Are you really, really sure that you want to get back home this early?.....Winter made a comeback.🥶
Man, dont think i could have passed that close to NOLA and didnt go there....Love that place, it was my retirement vacation...Can only speak for myself but i sure hope you dont give up the RV life....Its why i watch truth be told...Especially enjoy the little places you stop for a few days when traveling like the state park in this video...I log that stuff in my memory bank if and when in the area....Ive done the motorhome thing in NOLA. Stayed at the KOA in River Ridge (10.5 mi. west of NOLA) and rented a car to go into the city...Would do it again in a heartbeat it was that easy....Car rental place even picked me up at the KOA in River Ridge...Try it, dont be shy, beats paying for a room the whole time far as im concerned especially with the dog and full hookups and again, its very easy as i wont take the motorhome into big cities either like you....Surprisingly, NOLA is pretty dog friendly too....Travel Safe, be well....
I want one just like it 1987 coachman! I had just really thought about how compact and homey it is! Screw everybody else on what is called your home on wheels because it has class! And if that frame could talk! The Coachman has already beat those newbies! "high tech" 😂 on road trips!
I like the couchman better, mine is a 1998 Aerolite. And I made new curtains and put a house size refrig in and it suits us. Even Bella likes it. It's coming soon, they open April 15th but I can dry camp anytime.
Hi Dave,Bella dog,thanks for the ride seems nice, 🇦🇺🇺🇸🚌🐕👍✌️ps you seem to look like you need a rest ,maybe it’s better you go home to rest awhile it’s not been long that you got out of hospital ,it took me a really long time to get over been sick,it’s just a thought see ya guys take care
Thanks for taking us on this nice drive, Dave. Pretty area, very nice camping place. My fav: Bella getting her hammy-hams. Such a nice walk-and-talk. I sure do know what you mean about once you get cleaning, you often keep going! Last night I was shredding some papers, and I wound up doing that for a few hours, slowly going through them and separating into categories and shredding unnecessary stuff. Hope to do that again tomorrow, and hope I have enough energy to get through back pain to get to some other cleaning. You inspired me! You and Bella have a great day. As always, safest travels!
I would most parks are going to be booked up with St. Pat Day and then Easter. Can wait to see you on a boat tour. Have you ever been on a air boat? They are a blast to take tours on. Hint Hint I would love to see you go flying in one of those. he he he Kind of goating ya like I did with the Ride the Rails suggestion. lol I took one once just outside of Houston. It was so good. I think we were out for a couple of hours. We just took a chance on doing it while we were on a vacation road trip. We had out dog with us and the operated said it was ok to take her along. Let me tell, her reaction when he started that boat up was something. I held her close and she quickly spun her head around to look at those blades spinning. Eyes a bulging. LOL I keep a tight hold of her most of the trip cause she was know for flying after things she was interested in. I would love to do it again.
Wow Dave that other couch fan is old but it looks like it's in good shape I guess they built good units just like the bounder solid like a rock happy motoring🙏
Dave if you give up traveling on The Coachman for awhile and just travel in the van and make sure trips we will still watch who you're still an adventurous guy I even lost watch you think tinkering around the garage just like Kevin he hasn't been on the road for a year and I will I watch him tinkering around the house he was sick now Felix is sick he's getting better, you're all getting better you're all getting cured it's wonderful what the medicine does these days I'll watch you anyway so no matter what you do just keep her Channel going
Did I see a bandage on Bella’s lower leg? I hope she’s okay. Be safe. Thank you for doing your videos again. Some nice places you’ve stayed at on your way home so far.
I had to laugh at you not wanting to take the Coachman into a city. Im a semi driver. The way I look at it is that you can't have more than 8 or 10 cars around you no matter where you're at. Happy trails to you!
Remember that when the moon is full, the Loup Garou (Werewolf) & the Rougaroux (Swamp Monster) are roaming about. Yes, alligators like dogs for dinner.
Hey Dave… Tim and Jill… Be careful giving her that process meat away a lot of sodium in it for her… Lol and you too… Lol sorry about the windshield sucks and I hope you keep traveling I really enjoy your videos I hope them see you again and I’m sorry you live too far east for me to come that way so that didn’t happen… Lol as far as that coach across from you there you know there was a place here The Oregon coast that I pulled into that was clear full of all of those type rigs and I’m like you mine is a 77 so I’m 10 years older than you in the coachman but I was talking to a friend that evening on the phone and told him about all the new rigs around me and let it out I feel cut out of place and my friend asked me why is that and I said because my rig is so old and those are all brand new and big and fancy and he said they helped him he said the only difference is this … You on yours they’re making payments which makes the whole picture look a lot better… Lol travel safe my friend talk soon Jill and Tim… :-)
One day I know I will have to stop but, until then no worries about laws,taxes,permits, squatters and getting things done to maintain even raw land. Freedom is a lot more healthy for the mind in my book.
Funny 🤣 “Wise ass joke”!!! Please tell your sign of the zodiac? 👍 I’m still laughing. 👍 good video. I must stop commenting till the end but can’t help it! Thank You! Keep making more👍👍👍
Looking good Dave. Seems like the Coachman is running good, and I would rather have the classic RV, less to go wrong. What kind of mileage are you getting? 🧘♀🙏🌎☮
Glad to see you out and about...and in good health! I know that you still have miles to travel to get home... but.. wondering if you have any thoughts on the Coachman’s overall performance/comfort compared to the Bounder? Always enjoy your videos...! Ps.. I live about 45 minutes west.. Fairview is a nice place to camp and fish... in the fall and spring.. before the mosquitoes get crazy!
Any chance you will stick around for the Abita Springs Busker Festival on April 2nd? Great music in a nice small town not far from where you are right now.
I was thinking to myself-now that I own a small 936 ft² home,,why go out to the middle of a desert specifically the AZ desert and just sit there amongst a bunch of rocks/cacti/dust where the scenery never changes to just wait out 6 months of a mild NM winter & So I'm going to keep my RV but I'm only going to use it for local camping during the summer months & then just store it for the winter,, maybe get away during the winter for like 3 weeks to AZ just to have something to do..
Old and small works just fine as long as it gets you out to explore! Dave, I was trying so hard to find a campground this weekend and everything was booked. I'm in Houston and didn't want to drive too far, so that was a bummer for me. I have never camped on free land so not sure how that goes just yet or if there is any close by anyway. Glad to see you and Bella enjoying the great outdoors!
I've been out for my annual 3 months away from snow. Been doing it for about 12 years. I'm coming to the conclusion that it's pointless. Would rather be home tinkering. But when l'm there l'd rather not be.
Regarding New Orleans, you could camp outside town and just Uber into town and walk around. Or stop at a home depot and rent a truck for 4 hours.
Bella is soooooooooo beautiful, what a wonderful travel buddy.
OLD BUT GOLD thank you say hay Bella. ALL stay safe
Move at you own pace . You just faced a major trama. Take all the time you need where you feel you need to. Glad to see you and Bella are traveling and having some fun . Stay safe , hugs for Bella .
Nice, take it easy...travel while you can..
You are so right! When dogs all dogs do by instinct! chomp their food, gobble, etc. they swallow half the treat or whole in one bite 😂 their able to taste more of it this way! Dave's the man! 👏 pay attention to your fur babies viewers!
we have an older travel trailer but we like it and its paid for
This is one of my favorite state parks. The bath house has individual bathrooms to shower in. Be sure and check out Fontainebleau SP in nearby Mandeville, La. BTW if you are a Louisiana, Arkansas or Maryland resident and have an America the Beautiful Senior pass, camping is 1/2 price at all LA state parks.
Free laundry, too, if I remember correctly. We are in Arkansas and have taken advantage of the Senior Pass discount all over Louisiana! Great perk!
Bella is so darn cute. That face she pulls.💕💕🐾🐾
Dave, better slow down or you will be home before it's warm. We enjoy you videos, please take care of yourself.
You and that Coachman are a cute pair, oh and Miss Ella too!
It looks quiet there. Bella's beautiful. So dainty. She loves her Dad. Enjoyed the walk through the campground. Love hearing you talk.
Many people who start out with dollies, end up going to flat tow. The straps are a pita, on top of that, you're supposed to stop and check them often; some advise as often as every 50 miles.

It’s always great seeing Dave and Bella thank you guys so much safe travels ❤
Settling down is good. Just make sure it's near family or friends. Whatever you choose just take care of yourself
Hi Dave you was in my neck of the woods on the other side of the lake you could’ve went to the spillway it’s Army Corps of Engineers in norco 14 days safe travels back
It's great that you're taking you're time and enjoying it. Life tday moves too fast,slow down and enjoy!
I'm so glad you are back. Take it easy and recover.
My time spent as a camp host gave me the opportunity to watch people. One thing I’ve noticed is those folk with the big expensive RV’s they never go outside. One couple even Doordash it for food
I hope mini cooper couple saw your mad skills whipping into your spot😂
Love the Columbo reference!
Love the looks Bella gives you! Girl loves you!
Bella is such a great companion traveler. When you show a close up of her face I melt. I really Love her and I hope that we will always be able to see her . Please , Dave. enjoy your evening and sleep well my friend. Hugs, Louise
👍👍👍 left ocean pond in Florida last week. Lots open sites. back in New York for the big snowstorm and it’s piling up.
You could always pull a Chrome and get you a homebase or at least a shop where you could do what ever project suits your fancy
I'll post a big of the current winter weather in PA🌨️, then you won't be in a hurry to get back lol. My Coachmen TT is a '97 and usually the oldest in the campground but sure beats a tent😇

Are you really, really sure that you want to get back home this early?.....Winter made a comeback.🥶
I stayed at that park for my BDay a few years ago! Loved it. So fun to see it on your channel.
I have been watching your videos for some time and hope the best for your retirement. I will move on too.
Bella’s face🥰 That park is more open than I was expecting. Hmm
Hi from Danmark 🌏🌱🌳🐝🌬🌞🌈❤️
Best company in the dog 👍🐕
And thanks for good movie
Hey if you want to stop in Long Beach MS, I belong to a campground and can set you up. It's actually in Pass Christian.
Bellas, waiting patiently, enjoy your stay on down the road you go to a New Pl., Bella can get out and sniffing Newgrounds
Love the Spanish moss. But would probably be scared to walk under it! :)
Enjoy your travels hun. The coachman is paid for. Bet that one won't be around in twenty years. BTW love you ❤

Great seeing you two back on. I missed you both. The state park looks great, nice and peaceful. Has Bella had grooming? she looks refreshed.
What a lovely dog!
Glad to see you’re doing well and headed back Pennsylvania.
Yay!! Hi Dave and Bella!! ❤
Always good to see you again Dave. Enjoyed the video.👍😁
I want one just like it 1987 coachman! I had just really thought about how compact and homey it is! Screw everybody else on what is called your home on wheels because it has class! And if that frame could talk! The Coachman has already beat those newbies! "high tech" 😂 on road trips!

Hi Dave,Bella dog,thanks for the ride seems nice, 🇦🇺🇺🇸🚌🐕👍✌️ps you seem to look like you need a rest ,maybe it’s better you go home to rest awhile it’s not been long that you got out of hospital ,it took me a really long time to get over been sick,it’s just a thought see ya guys take care
Personally...I much prefer the Coachmen. It has far more personality than some cookie-cutter motorhome. Hang in there Dave...we got ya.
Hey Dad…ya forgot the scrambled eggs that go nicely with ham. 🍳
Thanks for taking us on this nice drive, Dave. Pretty area, very nice camping place. My fav: Bella getting her hammy-hams. Such a nice walk-and-talk.

Two of my FAVORITE ...Godspeed!!!
Happy travels, once you start toward home it calls to you pretty strong🤣😂 if the last few years are any indication. 🙋🏼♀️🥰
Nice video. 🙏🏼🫶🏻
The color Purple is big in traditions of Louisiana
Great videos keep me laughing thanks

Abbeville LA has a neat little campground.
Awesome video Dave

I don't blame you about Pittsburgh ' I used to deliver cars there from General motors in Lords town Ohio
That’s Tchefuncte up!! 🤣😂🤪

Test your driving skills and patience. Go into Nawlins on Mardi Gras and try to find parking. Wow.
One day I know I will have to stop but, until then no worries about laws,taxes,permits, squatters and getting things done to maintain even raw land. Freedom is a lot more healthy for the mind in my book.

Hi Dave & Bella..
Hey dave, if your interested in taking a break from driving, Im staying on a horse ranch near Aiken SC, wouldnt mind having ya over sometime!
I saw it
I would still be out there traveling if I could afford the gas.
Looking good Dave. Seems like the Coachman is running good, and I would rather have the classic RV, less to go wrong. What kind of mileage are you getting? 🧘♀🙏🌎☮

I've never found free camping opportunities in the Houston area.
I try to avoid the shower house. Too much traffic and noise for me.
Pluto TV is Showing Star Trek Voyager if You are interested in it.
Dave you little devil😂😂😂
Is it stressful having to figure things out as u go? I was thinking of doing what u r doing.
is it a state park or what ?
Bella likes hEr walks. Nice park.
Do I see a crack in your windshield?
If still there - watch for alligators
Excuse me! One more thing ! 😂
I wonder if Bella misses Moo Moo, Holly, Kellogg? 😢😢
I've been out for my annual 3 months away from snow. Been doing it for about 12 years. I'm coming to the conclusion that it's pointless.
Would rather be home tinkering. But when l'm there l'd rather not be.
thats right girl get every single lick on each finger!
