You two have the best relationship. Traveling with a partner 24/7 is a true test of relationships. AmazIng scenery and very helpful info on the parking/rig size.
Thank you! We are truly enjoying the journey! Thanks for watching.
I really like the chemistry between the two of you. I actually enjoy your conversations where with most others I get tired and/or irritated with fast and quit watching when they start talking. You’re smart and fun to watch. Thank you for the video!!
Well thank you! Such a nice compliment. We try to make the videos entertaining and a little informative at the same time. I also usually don't like too much talking about nothing in videos I watch. Thanks so much for watching!😃
“They don’t aaaaactually help, they don’t know what they’re doing” hahaha that made me laugh, with that guy pointing towards the other car 😆
😀😂
@@IreneIronTravels I have a 24ft Sprinter and have had some folks try to help but it is not advisable to depend on (or use) them. Not because they are not well intentioned but you don't know their observation skills or attention to details all around the rear or sides or top of your vehicle. They may not observe a tree branch overhanging that may damage your (high) 10ft roof. In a car something at about 10ft or a bit less is never an issue. I would always acknowledge them with a smile or hand gesture.
Exactly! 👍
Brand new subscriber AND a brand new Class B Pleasure Way owner! With all that is going on in the world, we made the decision to buy a small rv and try seeing this beautiful country from the road rather than rush around and fly everywhere. Our first trip will be from San Diego area back to Kentucky to visit our son and his family. Our grand daughter will be turning 12 in mid August, so we shall arrive there in plenty of time to celebrate with her. Our new-to-us Class B is a 2005 model year powered by a Mercedes Benz turbo diesel. About 22 ft. long and quite easy to drive! Watching you kids travel has made our upcoming travels even more anticipated than we thought. At our mid seventies, it's now or never!
Awesome! Congrats on the PW! We also looked at them, but didn't find the right deal on one. You guys are going to love it!

You are such an adorable couple. So likable and you get along so well. I can see how much you love and respect each other when you look at each other when the other is talking. Your insight on knowing your rig better than strangers trying to help you back in is so spot on! I'm think about a class B myself.
Thank you so much!! What a nice compliment. We truly do love each other and are so happy to be on this journey together! I hope you get that class b. It's a great way to travel!
Love the Rockies! However, I would have to have waited for the helpful (not helpful) guy to get out of the way. That's a tight parking area and he was just in the way. Love the rig!
Hello! That was pretty tight parking up there and one of the main reasons we love the B's over the B+'s for sure! Thanks for watching!😃
I have watched your previous videos on DIY install on the battleborn batteries and I am impressed . Knowing and understanding the schematics and electrical terminologies makes you confident in doing this work with little prep and patience. Great job.Thanks for sharing .
Hey thanks! You're right a little prep work and education can help anyone learn any new skill they want! And watching others do it on YT doesn't hurt!😜
So that guy was out there waiting for someone to come out an say thank you for helping what a relief to have such a willing citizen just waiting to be of use. Lol 🥑🧄🍅🧅🫑
Irene is there any chance you might consider a specific day and time to share a short or long workout to share? Your really relatable. I can really appreciate your healthy life.
Thanks, Paula. I appreciate that you find me relatable. I'm just a normal person 😜 I'd consider doing a regularly scheduled workout session if enough people engage on it. Thanks for the suggestion, maybe someday soon!
Great job backing into the spot! The thing that my wife and I find most attractive about the Class B (we're in the beginning stages of research - for travel and fun - not fulltime) is the ability to pretend you're a car.
I enjoy travelling with you.....as far as your comment about being surprised how well you are driving in the mountains....it is your wealth of experience that has given you the confidence in driving and parking...good job! I also do a lot of driving when my husband and I travelling (in a car)...I really enjoy driving...it is relaxing.
Thank you so much! We are happy you found us, thanks for watching. I'm happy to hear you also enjoy driving :) Chris
Good segment on help and no help. I’m a solo 28’ 5th. Man do I get tired of getting in and out of the cab but when I do allow someone to help I’m taking on the responsibility of keeping them safe while I backup. It’s a mixed bag. Good video.
Arghh I was THAT person! I asked you on IG about why you drive and here you had the answer! I am behind on youtube this week! Love the Stanley hotel and it’s so helpful to hear how you change things around when you need to. We are having to completely redo our trip because of the Covid spiking and some help my daughter need right now and I was bummed my carefully laid out plan had to be dismantled - so thanks for your positive attitude - it’s contagious! I must have missed the footage of you taking a “skip” through the park - you will have to add the skipping to the next video!thanks again for your videos!
Noelle
We have definitely learned to be flexible. So many obstacles come up that you can't control. Life is better when you go with the flow! - Chris
Thanks to you two and others We are going to buy a used 2018 Interstate GT. It is 288” long and is the ext model Glad to here your thoughts on parking Hope my wife wife will like driving it Thanks again!
Good choice! Congrats Rick!
Nice video! I love Rocky Mountain National Park. Too bad you didn't get to see more of it. Maybe next time. My first visit to the park was in the summer of 1982. That was the summer of the tragic flood that practically wiped out the main drag of Estes Park. The locals still talk about it. I had spent a couple of days in Rocky Mtn. Natl. Pk and was planning to stay a night in Estes Park. I reserved a campsite in an Estes Park municipal campground. I was trying to get set up on the picnic table for dinner. The weather quickly turned ugly. Dark, foreboding clouds accompanied by high winds. Cooking and eating at the picnic table was soon impossible. I had a Volkswagen camper bus at the time. I'd cooked and ate meals inside the bus before. Eating in the bus was fine but I never liked cooking inside. I decided to pack up and move on into Wyoming with my next destination being Yellowstone. Three days later I went into a little general store in Yellowstone. I happened to glance at the newspaper in the rack. I was shocked to see on the front page a picture of the main street of Estes Park buried in about 2 feet of mud! A dam, that was actually located inside Rocky Mountain Park had failed, sending a wall of water, mud and debris rampaging through Estes Park. Most businesses were damaged or destroyed and 3 campers were killed. The National Guard was called in to help with the cleanup and to prevent any possible looting. I missed the flood by about 12 hours. To this day I don't know why I impulsively left town. I had ridden out storms before in my camper. I didn't even stop to try to get a refund for the campsite.
Oh wow! What a story! You had good intuition to get outta dodge I guess as mother nature is soooooo powerful. We get asked about severe weather a lot and we really haven't had too much. A close call over in NJ last year as the sky turned green and black with the tornado sirens blaring...... but it passed quick and didn't form.Thanks for sharing!
I highly recommend those who think about going full time, there are several videos showing the down side of full timing. For me? I'm 70 and the cost of traveling and accommodations doesn't come close to what an RV costs not to mention the maintenance. Per square foot, class B's are the most expensive. If you plan on retiring on Social Security, realize Medical takes a good chunk of that. Me? I retired with a pension and made sure, my house was paid off before I retired.
I drive while my husband passenges. Almost the same situation, I love it, husband hates it. I can get my 9' wide RV backed into an 11' wide spot without any problem. (I also have control issues.:) )
I highly recommend a Jumbo Joe or Smokey Joe. A grill is a must.
Now you’re in my backyard. The Rocky Mountain national Park is my playground. I’m in a hiking group of 16 ladies and not all of us go at the same time but we hike every single Friday come summer fall winter spring. We love Rocky Mountain national Park however we have not been there all of this year yet. There is more hiking up the Poutre Canyon and Redfeather lake area which is very beautiful in itself. You should try that sometime. Have fun in your continuing travels. Thank you for this video it was nice seeing my backyard.
A hiking group! How fun! We will have to check out Poutre Canyon and Redfeather lake! Thanks!
Enjoying following your travels. Especially liked the discussion on parking and handling the van. I am just starting to look at possibilities for myself and feeling comfortable driving is pushing me in the class B direction. Since it will be just me and my small dog and cat space will not be much of a issue. Also enjoyed your cooking episodes as it gives a real life view that is very helpful.
Hello! Thanks for watching. A class b is a great choice for a solo with a pet. EASY LIVING and traveling! 😀
Loved your video. We live in Boulder County - The Stanley Hotel only served as Stephen King’s inspiration for the Shining, the filming was done at The Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood, and is a much less touristy and MUCH more spectacular lodge. I’m bummed that you went to RMNP without really seeing the park. I’m up there at least 10 times a year hiking to incredible alpine lakes, beautiful meadows, peaks that get you out of the van and traffic. You’ve never been there til you leave the road and parking lots!
Hello! Thanks! We are learning more and more about the Stanley/Timberline confusion! But, now we want to see that lodge when we are next in Oregon. Yes, a bit of of a bummer we didn't spend more time in RMNP, but that just entices us to come back! Thanks for watching!
I was amazed to see snow in the middle of summer......I can understand your not following directions from others however I was looking at the rear view (via your camera) and I was thinking like the gentleman- turn your wheel your too close the parked vehicle on the drivers side. But instead of backing up you pulled forward and straighten the vehicle before proceeding back again.......after your clarification I understood, it's a control trust thing, but your still sweet and cute with it. Thanks for the journey. 😊
Yes it was a big snow storm they just got, but it melts quick in the summer though. Fun to see! Thanks for watching!
i didnt really find you being out of line.... i totally agree with you we are weekend warriors and we have a 25 foot hybrid travel trailer and i hate when people try to help me back up.... im grateful for there help but its not needed and half the time they dont know what they should be looking for so id rather just be alone when im backing up or setting up our camper..... have fun keep traveling .... from illinois
Hello! Thanks for watching and the comment. Agreed it is best to have your own system down and stick to it. Otherwise that's when accidents can happen!
@@IreneIronTravels whats your website for your fitness programs
Hey Ethan, our website is ireneironfitness.com/ . You can reach out to Chris on the website or at ireneironfitness@gmail.com and she would be happy to answer any questions you have! Thanks!
I would concur I did finally get my 2021 MAD Passage on a Sprinter 3500 XD Dually chassis and found that it's so very easy to drive and maneuver pretty much everywhere. I will admit that the rear backup camera certainly makes life a whole lot easier, but none the less a very unintimidating vehicle.
Hey, congrats on picking up the passage! Yes the regular width of these vans make it a breeze in most situations! Thanks for watching!
When me and my dad went to Yellowstone June 2-5 last year (2019) they had an unexpected 8inches of snow the day before we got there. It was sooo beautiful but really cold. Have amazing photos and videos
Sounds magical! Snow can do that.......hopefully its short lived though!😳
I enjoyed watching y’all’s visit of Rocky Mountain National Park and y’all’s comments about camping in Colorado. I want to return to Colorado with my new to me 24’ Lance camper and explore the state. I was there for my first time 7 weeks ago. Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peek we’re both amazing but a lot was still closed. 🚌❤️👍😊🌎 thanks for sharing and safe travels
Thanks for watching! We see a lot of Lances out and about, and hear they make good boondocking rigs! Hope you get out there!😃
she sure had the giggles and nothing wrong with that
My. Evans is a great drive. It is highest paved road in North American . We got snowed on a couple of years ago on July 2nd. Safe travels.
Oh wow! That would be a cool one to drive! I just read it is closed for all of 2020, maybe next year! Thanks for watching!
Stanley Hotel . . . in Estes Park, is profoundly distinctive. A GREAT welcome mat . . . to the Rocky Mountain National Park.
Great area to explore! Thanks for watching!
Fyi, the exterior shots of the hotel in The Shining were done at the Timberline Lodge, Oregon :)
Huh, well that makes a lot more sense now! I just looked at pics and it definitely looks more creepy and isolated! Thanks!
Yeah, driving a class B is pretty easy. I am a bad passenger too, If I don't drive I get car sick, so if I dont drive I dont go....
Realtor coming by today to look at the house and make a plan to put it on the market. I'll be living in my Travato for a while before deciding what to do. Most likely will live in Anthem AZ close to my daughters and grand kids.
I have a Rad-mini Ebike I put on the back of the TK on a hitch mount carrier when I go out, It is insurance in case I run out of gas or something so I don't have to walk.
That's exciting news pat! That will be an easy transition for you since you're used to spending time in your travato. I'm gonna look hard into the e bike 🚲..........
I love your videos. I think the history is Steven King was inspired by the hotel. He stayed there and had some “experiences” It’s not where it was actually filmed. The movie was filmed in Oregon at the timberline lodge. The exterior was the Overlook hotel. Either way the Stanley is awesome and I enjoy your content! Especially the cooking.
Thank you! We are finding out we don't know much about the Stanley!🤣😂 Someone else just pointed out the timberline! Looking at pictures of that place is jus....Wow! We are planning on having a new cooking video out this Wednesday. Thanks for watching!
@@IreneIronTravels The long winding road to the hotel in the Shining that you mentioned is the Going to the Sun road in Glacier National Park. I just discovered your channel, so I'm not sure if you've been there yet. If not, it's a must do!! Maybe wait until next year though, as part of the park is closed this year in an effort to keep Covid off the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. Great video!
Hello! No we have not been to Glacier yet, but when we do, we'll check out that road. Thanks for the tip and for watching!😃
Sometimes it is great “fun” for people to come and offer unsolicited help. After a while we get a system down for our RVs. It may not be apparent to those trying to be helpful. The distractions from the helpful ones is frequently a distraction that is not helpful. You were kind. Good on ya. We were there in our Travato a couple of weeks after you.
So true... it can throw you off from your normal routine of parking. Aren't Class B's great in National parks! Thanks for watching!😃
Newbie here and I’m hooked on this channel. You guys are great. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!😃
It’s been so long since I have been at RMNP...it is so beautiful. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!😀
Estes Park is beautiful. Trail Ridge Rd. was a very scenic drive.
Yes, great area for sure. Thanks for watching!
Madison, dang I grew up there, not there now, enjoy. if you are there on a saturday check out the farmers market on the square. you will love it.
We do love farmers markets! Thanks for watching!😃
@@IreneIronTravels Unfortunately no Farmers Market in the Square this year, another victim of the Pandemic. Real shame, our Market is just awesome, sellers have to make or grow their own stuff, no out sourcing or trash and trinkets. dcfm.org/
Thanks for doing the segment on parking and the cargo box. We’re looking at a rig the same length, but will probably get a cargo box and bike rack. We desperately want the Rad Power bikes and I want to bring my Reebok Pro Deck and weights. It’s good to hear the pros and cons.
It is a delicate balance with these class B's isn't it! I also think E bikes would open up a whole new way to explore and allow us to see a lot more! If you can fit that prodeck that would be awesome!
" What she taught me was to feel... that you're part of this place, not a visitor"
Craig Foster, My Octopus Teacher
Good afternoon! What a great tour!! Thank you for sharing it!
A few Stanley Hotel stories......I raced bicycles in college out of Boulder CO. One of our popular training rides out of Boulder was up to the Stanley, around their circle, and back to Boulder. (side note: I was doing that route solo one day; a pick up truck with those 1970s/80s extended side mirrors hit me in the back while on US 36 on the way up to Estes Park. Knocked me off the highway and into the grass.....and he kept on driving). Estes Park is about 7 hrs from our home in Ouray CO. We were going to go to their big Halloween Bash at the Stanley Hotel this Oct 2020...........but our parade was rained on by the virus :-(
Very lucky that you passed through the park when you did as it was totally up in smoke this late summer :-(
So, my dad was in the service and I attended junior high and high school down in Panama. One of my teachers had an aerial picture of Estes Park and he would always talk about it there (he was from there). I had never been west of the Mississippi River in the US. So, he was really pivotal in my decision to go to school in Boulder CO. That, and I did turn on a Monday night football game of a Bronco home game that was snowing like crazy! So...off I went to there.
Safe travels!
Hit and run! That's crazy and glad you survived. What a beautiful place to race bikes, thanks for sharing those stories!!
Awesome guys! The first one we rented pre purchase was a 25 Foot Class C and it was almost 12' high and the winds killed me some days but the relaxed approach make a LOT of sense and you get more time!
Ohh yeah, that would be a tough one to drive in high winds! Thanks for watching!!
@@IreneIronTravels Is the "Kabbunk" in your opinion a real solution for 2 kids to sleep 4 in there?
Maybe for a short trip, but it would be really tight with 4 people in a van. But, people do it!
I see quite a few of these long vans with bikes on back
Us too!
Thank you! We enjoy your adventures!
Thanks for watching!😃
I’m new here.....I’m the same way, I do all the driving when we’re towing our travel trailer. My wife refuses. 😆
It seems to usually be one or the other that does all of the driving!😂 Thanks for watching!
Great video!! Makes me miss the Denver area where we used to live!! Estes Park is awesome especially during the Elk migration.
Thanks Sel! Great area to explore for sure. 😀
I lived in Colorado too, after discharge from Minot AFB, ND and one quarter at NDSU, Fargo, ND. Took me 9 years to escape that 'Rocky Mountain High' outta my system. Initiated residence at YMCA in Denver with follow on to a Capitol Hill pad, off E. Colfax Ave. Departed out west to Golden . . . with 3x residences, then off to CU/Boulder. Expense of pads in this college town saw my exit northeast, to Greeley, CO. Welcomed this smaller town feel except when the wind blew in from the stockyard. Smelled terrible . . . .
Well i'm a bit upset (not about you of course) because nobody would have ask the question of the driver if it were Aaron behin the wheel. Women, we are not finished with fighting for changes of images. You are amazing as usual, i love your way of live. Have a good time !!!
Thank you!
I like driving, can't just look out the window. My wife doesn't like driving so it works great.
Sounds like a great match! 👍
Snow on the mountains looks good it is jungle hot in South Carolina.
It was nice a cool in the mountains! We're in the Midwest now and the heat and humidity is brutal here also!
Irene Iron Fitness we have been looking at Mammoth Caves in Ky. It would be cool in there.
LoL , I was typing on my laptop the question about why Chris always drives and you answered it. Something new I learned is that Chris is controlling LoL .
The TRUTH comes out! Ha ha😂😅.
"People dont really know what they are doing"... that was very mean. They are doing their bit to help someone and u got to be doing your bit in being CAREFUL. Obviously the driver cant completely depend on someone else. That shows your mindset. Thanks
Hello. No malice intended. No one knows your own vehicle like you do and they certainly don't know the height, length and width so as to know what to watch out for. Best to have your own practices and checks put in place. Thanks for watching.😀
For the guy helping, there was no need for him to know the "height or length" of your vehicle. He was doing what is recommended Standard practice and he only had to watch the sides of your vehicle and that's what he did. So your explanation is frivolous. But as I said, this just shows the unthankful/unappreciative attitude of a person. There is no malice this side either. Thank you
You guys provide great tips. How did your van handle driving into the mountains going up passes, did you feel like that van had enough torque to climb and pass people? Or did you get stuck in the far right lanes?
Thats the great thing about the sprinter vans! The have a small diesel engine which has really great low end power.....so no problems on hills. And great MPGs!
Where would you park if you were driving a travel trailer
I have a 24 ft class C and I find more limitations with the width (8.5) than I do with length.
Yes... agreed, the extra width would make it a bit more difficult. That is one of the main reasons we went with a true B instead of B plus our C. Thanks for the comment!
Hi enjoyed your Videos, Thanks for sharing your day to day experiences Living in the RV. How do you manage your power needs , A/C and heat? Is the solar sufficient to charge your daily needs and still have enough juice for the heater and fridge? Thanks.
Hey, thanks! We just upgraded our batteries and inverter this year to 400 amps of lithium and 3000 watt inverter. ua-cam.com/video/qIANRToD-vU/v-deo.html Our solar is only 300 watts and doesn't quite cover our daily needs. We lose around 10% bat per day if we don't drive. Our heater is propane so no problems there, but AC takes a lot of juice so we use it very sparingly and use the maxx air fan more. Our fridge is DC only so that is a constant draw. We might put another 150 watts on the roof if we can make it fit and that should cover the daily needs.
I don't know, but is that the tires that's making noise? I'm still on the original Continental and saw your tires and thought of changing it to that aggressive tires. Overall how was it? Thanks!
Our tires are a goodyear dura trac AT. I think they are starting to get louder with 24k on them now. We are happy with them and the tread wear so far. With the narrow dually tires there are not a lot of AT tire options that I found. No BFG KO2s available. But, we like our tires.
Thanks for the great video. Watching you guys on your adventures keeps us sane until I can get the camper out the driveway, even if it's just to the closest state park. I can totally relate to the second cup of coffee, to bad you wasted it on your hoodie. I was lol watching you park rv with the old man trying to help. "People love to help."
That would have been me, a 59 year old dude keeping you between the lines. and thanks for the apology, but it's not necessary. Only knowing you guys from the channel I can see you have a good heart, and Aaron I hope you get your bike. You deserve it having to put up with Irene's driving.... just kidding.
LOL! Thanks for watching! Hopefully, it comes off this way as it is easy to be judged in a snapshot of one's life! We have been to a few campgrounds in the past couple weeks and while it is picking up a little, they don't seem to be packed which is nice. Hope you get out soon! Thanks for the comment.😀
Have you come across any restrictions in the Parks for Class B &/or Class C?
I loved your video. You guys are a great team. Love the van. My wish is to own one and travel the US.
Thanks so much! It is a great way to travel and we hope you get your van soon!😃
Just subscribe to your channel. I have 2 questions...
1. Can you tell me how to drive an RV class B+ (a little wider RV about 20 to 22 Ft long) going down hill? Reason why I asked was last time drove a huge U-Haul with flatbed car dolly traveling from Arizona to Alabama. one part of the road was a steep down hill and as I try my best reducing speed using the Overdrive = scared the crap out of me. Yes I know the RV I mentioned is smaller than the U-Haul, but still need to drive safer and better like a pro. Me and my wife are planning on buying that class B+ RV quite soon.
2. I noticed that you have internet in the RV you guys are driving... How do you get it and what are you using ? Can T-Mobile cover that?
I know gas mileage was noted but does higher elevations affect the function of various systems on your rig? Take it easy.
Yes the higher elevation does affect engines( generator as well) and they do perform a bit worse, but we really don't notice it much. Everything has always functioned normally for us. The biggest problem is opening the Siracha!!😂
@@IreneIronTravels Noted for when I come our west. Thanks for the reply.
Gosh I miss alllllll that!
😀
Really appreciate the pointers. "liked & subscribed"
Appreciat4e you watching!😀
With the parking question, and you going up to RMNP, did you ever go in to Estes Park and try to Park? And if so,, how was that and where did you park?
We parked at the Estes Park Visitor center parking garage. They have a few outside parking spaces that fit the van.
@@IreneIronTravels thank you for the response. Reason I was asking is I'm looking at the Winnebago Ekko (Class B+) but I'm a little worried about it limiting what I'll be able to do due to being able park it. ie trying visit moab or sedona, etc.
Entertaining video, enjoyed it. Some honest day to day living and dialogue. Hope you guys did a workout that day lol…?
Lol 😆. I don't think we did that day! We are missing the gym quite a bit and would have normally went to one while near Denver. Thanks for watching!
Wow 12 to 28 mph is really good but how much does your gas tank hold? How many miles per tank matters too. You two are so lucky. Joyful 😄
What do you guys do for work?
☕️Good Morning ~
Another great video 👍
*now get to work* 😜
Good morning! Thanks! The work never ends!😃
Just curious.. Do you get any break-ins ? like parking at parks or beaches.. or in the city..
No, we have never had any incidents like that. Thankfully! We do use motion cameras and alarms to help prevent theft if someone did break in. Thanks for watching!

What stereo is that? Fresh follower.....safe travels !
It's called the Joying 10.1 radio. Pretty cool Android based system! Thanks for following along!
Love the energy guys ! I really like your Joycing gps/camera screen. Did you get that installed ?
Thanks! I did install it myself in 2019, got it from Amazon.
@@IreneIronTravels Looks really nice. I appreciate your help/comments the other day about Lithium batteries. My wife and I are enjoying watching your videos.
Do all RVs rattle like that when driving?
Kinda! Imagine your whole house going down the road! Most of the rattling is the stuff thats inside the cabinets and drawers. You get used to it. Some people go nuts trying to make it rattle free!
Ok so we can breathe now cause inquiring (enquiring?) minds wanted to know why Aaron no drive😄
Dwi, never learned to drive, can't pass the test, scared..... oh the rumors!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For crying out load it’s an oversized mini van, it’s not an 18 wheeler! Lol

She tends to wear the pants in a relationship. Not that is a bad thing Yes, it does take a lot to be with someone 247 in a Van. Kudos, they make it work, at least what they show. For my experience, driving a Van or bigger. Does take an experience? Not everybody can drive a Van like that or something. Bigger. People are used to driving something small and act like they could drive big vehicles. But they should take turns filming each other and talking. Not that I have seen every video they have shown. But they've seen to take terms, yes.
the "helpful man" while you were parking was not being helpful at all. Only your travel partner should be giving you directions.... protect your rig....
👍
Lucky man you don't have to drive.
Not a bad gig!😃
Totally boring......
