  • Let’s face it - there are many remote areas of Utah. What happens when you hit one of those areas and run out of food? Well, how about taking the most awesome 2-hour ride to the grocery store you’ve even taken!
    We went into the Bryce Canyon area without being fully prepared on food and quickly found out that shopping at the local mom and pop in Bryce was going to cost an arm and a leg. So once a grocery store was found (in Cedar Springs over an hour and a half away), we quickly searched for the most epic route to get there.

    You could run old school: pitch a tarp above Ruby. As long as it does not touch it will draw the dew away. And works wonders in the hot summer- double shade- much cooler. Another old school trick- keep a tin of salt(think mid size coffee can) in the tent or whatever. It will pull moisture out of the enclosure. Works in small tents, I haven't tried it in anything larger. Worth a try.

    I was experiancing the same issues with morning condensation. I cut a silver tarp 2 feet wider and 2 feet longer than the top of my camper. I have found that it works fantastic. It keeps the condensation from gathering, and keeps the sun from making the camper too hot. And keeps much more heat from escaping thru the tent roof. Also it is a great safety item, as it keeps any pitch, tar, or stray campfire embers from landing on my roof. I fasten it down with several binder clips. I can not take credit for this idea, I saw it on a couple other campers and questioned what it was. Hope this helps and solves you problem. Dave

    I will second the tarp over the unit idea. It has been working for us that way for years. Makes a huge difference in both Hot and Cold weather. We first tried it in New Mexico when it was 100+ degrees outside. I carry a Honda 2000 Generator and 5k BTU AC unit in my Aspen. And the tarp made it to where the 5K would do a good job. Otherwise, you couldn't stay in it in the day time without the tarp.

    Sorry for the multiple comments in a row. I would suggest that you stretch a tarp over the top of the tent with some sort of support to create an air gap between the two layers. It should help immensely.

    Hey guys. Wife and I rode Zion a few years ago. We are from Nfld, Canada. It was very different for us. However it was so hot we got in early and actually arrived at the gate at sunrise. Free to get in, zero traffic and the clear cool air was completely different from that of an hour later. It was truly a transcendental experience that I will always cherish. Try it sometime, you won't regret it. And come to Nfld, Canada. You will love that too!

    As nice as your bikes are, mine has a feature that makes it outstanding. As we (we, being the bike and me) approach a place that serves good coffee, good apple pie, good hamburgers, or chocolate ice cream - the bike slows, and beyond my control, it turns right in, pulls up, and shuts down. One shop mechanic said that he could fix that. His memorial service was nice.

    Maybe this is a repeat but….. you know a lot of people think that what you are doing is very exciting, very cool, my wife and I included. You ought to somehow (for a worthwhile fee) have other motorcyclists stay with you for a set time, like 5 weekdays or a weekend. You tell them what they will need (tent, stove, gear, etc.) then they learn how you are doing this “Live off the back of your motorcycle thing.” Kind of like the guided motorcycle trips, but motorcycle living insights, day tours and just what you put in the videos. One or two at a time, responsible for themselves and their bikes and gear, they just have a however many day seminar. And then sightseeing riding tours.
    I don’t know if I am clear on my idea, and obviously it’s not completely thought out. But a little enterprise as you travel and huge fun for those who stay with you two.
    Be careful! Stay safe! And keep up the good work! Joe

      The wife and I would love to hang out and learn a few things here and there about your lifestyle and the do’s and don’ts of trailering. At least for a few days.
      To bad we missed you guys. I’ve been following yous tous for a bit and saw that you were in Utah around the same time my wife and I were traveling from Santa Barbara to Huntsville, Utah then back to Santa Barbara via Vernal (not a planned stop and long story), Green River, Bryce Canyon and Zion.
      I would definitely like to know if towing a trailer behind your RoadGlide wears your brakes, clutch and or other parts on the bike faster if anything?
      One day hopefully we shall cross paths. I am definitely thinking about purchasing a camper/trailer like yours and travel the US of A. 🇺🇸

    Ok. Get rid of the fan. Put you heater in 1 end of the tent & 1 vent on at the other end. Your heat has to travel across the tent slowly for the gas to escape. Should keep you dry, you need a rain fly. Don't have 1? Get a tarp. Be ok. Back to the video!"🤣

She is running better every ride. I am going to run one more can through with another tank and see if the improvement continues. I am 80% packed and ready to leave for Rocky Mountain Roll 6 with Amada nd her family. I know you will be heading to Sturgis Have a wonderful time. My cheap action camera was a fail.

    We bought a new Airstream and it was very cold outside. I had the gas heater going and that night I felt water dripping on me,,,(and it wasn't raining,,,so not a leak). I switched the light on and it was literally raining inside the camper!!!! We never completely solved it, the walls were always wet.
    Great editing job!!!

    In regards to the moisture on the roof, you would be surprised how much insulation a tarp on the out of the roof makes a difference. Use to do it on our boat in cold weather, makes a huge difference.

    Suggestion on the humidity , pass air thru a desiccant filled canister. Amazon carries 1 gallon containers of blue desiccant . Indicating Blue silica gel beads will change to Pink when 50-60% absorbed with moisture Beads can be Reactivated by drying in oven.

    Kolob Canyon is definitely a must do especially for anyone traveling from Cedar City to St. George. It isn't that far off the beaten track to go see the beauty of the area. Also, if you are in St. George, head west towards Ivins and take a drive through Snow Canyon State Park. It is a beautiful state park.

    the straw and the milk...put your finger over the end of the straw as you stab it into the foil.
    mr heater is altitude sensitive, it won't work over 8000' elevation and gets somewhat better as you go down to 6000'...ran into the same issue in yellowstone.
    the frost is from your exhaling
    like the show, we were there in 2018. pink corral sand dunes state park had an empty campground....nice. i like bryce, it was the best in the area

    Moisture in your Bunkhouse, have a custome fly built to drape over your sleeping/living quarters for those cold nites. The air gap will prevent the condensation. That's what makes the Airctic Oven tent work so well.

    When skiing I use to regularly over night in ski area parking lots. Over the years I have use a wood truck canopy, aluminum truck canopy fiberglass truck canopy, truck camper, and a travel trailer. I have use no heat (just a very good sleeping bag and pad), a propane heater similar to your Buddy Heater, a RV furnace (old natural convection furnace, no fan) and electric space heaters (with an available electric connection.) My worst condensation problem was with an aluminum truck canopy.
    There are a few ways to reduce the condensation problem.
    > As Richard stated insulate better would help. As he also implied there is a weight and bulk problem that make that impractical.
    > Use a heat source that doesn't produce moisture. Electric heaters don't produce moisture. But this isn't practical for you unless you are in a campground and site with an electric connection.
    > Use a heat source that exhausts the combustion exhaust/ moisture outside. Someone else suggested a diesel heater. The advantage of these diesel heaters is that their exhaust air and heating air are separate. The exhaust air and the related moisture is directed outside. But you have the diesel smell in camp. Considering Richard background I suspect that you could find a small ducted RV furnace. Build an enclosure for it to be placed outside of Ruby. Then with flex duct connect the return and heated air to inside Ruby. You could also only connect the heated air supply duct to Ruby. Connecting both duct would be more fuel efficient. But connecting the heat supply duct only would be dryer.
    > The easiest solution is to not even try to keep the insides of Ruby warm. Fully vent her to prevent moisture build up from breathing. Just improve the sleeping bag and bag heater(s) to stay warm while sleeping. (Bad idea. This is like going back to the tent.)
    When I had the aluminum truck canopy my solution was a very warm sleeping bag and a decent sleeping pad. When possible I maximized the amount of ventilation. I couldn't fully vent it when it was raining or snowing.
    Having a heater with a fan distribute the heat more evenly. That is why my most comfortable skiing solution was the travel trailer with an electric space heater.

    YEP!!! You don't want to get hot and sweaty so you freeze so fast as you step outside. Just like Ruby's top freezes just a thin layer of ice.
    On the Buddy heater... I learned the hard way... it's the sensor tube builds up some moisture inside rendering it useless. I have my Buddy heater has the same problem. I'm being stubborn and refusing to replace the sensor this time. I'm going to try taking the sensor and it's tube off and heating the tube as evenly as I can attempting to cause the moisture to expand and hopefully to get it out of the tube at the time. lolol

    Another fantastic video. Hope you looked into those air activated stick on your body warmers. One around the back of the neck helps take a bit of the chill off. Is it hard to edit the 360 degree video footage? Looks awesome, just wondering if it is more involved then the other cameras for changing viewing angle in the editing process. Hope to see you make your way through the Columbia Gorge someday. Hwy 14 on the WA has some stunning views.
