Welcome to Ohio. It's Pro Football Hall of Fame weekend coming up. Many activities in the Canton area related to that. Also, look up Maize Valley brewery in Hartville as a great Harvest Host. Highly recommend a stop over in the Hocking Hills area and eating at the very pup friendly Eclipse Company Store outside Athens. Cheers!
Awww! Welcome to Ohio! I’d suggest Hocking Hills State Park, it’s absolutely beautiful and you’ll be stunned that it’s in Ohio! Also Amish Country in Holmes County, Ohio! The rolling hills and lush greenery and of course the delicious foods! ❤
I am from ohio. Depending on where in ohio you are based there are alot great state park. Clinton mills and John Byron state park and eat in the small 60s style town off, yellow springs. Also Hocking Hill state park is a must see. Both about an hour from Columbus. Many more but those two are tops for natural beauty.
Enjoy Ohio, and your contract, My Brother-in-law went to med school in Cincinnati, and did his Residency in Lancaster (not far from Columbus) Definitely get to Hocking Hills State Park. Fantastic stop. also Cincinnati has done a ton of revitalizing, the down town is pretty nice, you gota walk the Purple People Bridge. and take a Day and shop at Jungle Jim's its a Grocery store, they have a few locations, but the original by Cincinnati is like 6 acres, and they have just about anything from everywhere food wise. I mean Ostrich eggs and Meat, Rattle Snake, if its weird, exotic or ethnic, they have it.
Welcome to Ohio y'all !! 2 of our favorite places are Old Man"s Cave in Hocking Hills and Salt fork State park . Congratulations on your contract here and enjoy our beautiful state .
Thank you! We're planning to check out Hocking Hills (stay tuned!) but hadn't heard of Salt Fork - we'll have to check that out! We already feel like Ohio is underrated by many 😊
The Salt Fork State Park area is one of the country’s Bigfoot hotspots - so you *have* to go there! 😂 Ohio has one of the best state park/campground systems in the country. Welcome to the quietly interesting and beautiful Buckeye State!
Solar gives you some good options. You have way "too much" battery capacity for those little panels. Or maybe "too little" solar capacity? Those batteries should easily handle all your lights, tvs etc for an extended time. AC and heat? Not so much. You chose a good system with Renogy and I like that you went with a 3k inverter and nice charge controller so you can ramp up as needed. I don't have any solar in my camper because we don't do any boondocking and almost always camp in wooded campgrounds in rhe Southeast where getting OUT of the sun is our main objective. Good luck on that new contract!
Welcome to Ohio! I'm a work from home RN in the lowest part of Ohio (Proctorville). Definitely visit the Columbus zoo, Cincinnati zoo, Hocking Hills State Park.
We never go to Pilot/Flying J, they dont participate in the TSD program, the discounts from TSD are Way better in most cases, like 40 cents to $1.50/ gallon. But good info about the app in a pinch.
Hi Mike & Stephanie ,your Canadian followers 🇨🇦 ,new name on trailer R& J Adventures in Big Ben. Been to Air museum in Dayton ,spent whole day and didn't see all of it and it is free,then anyways have a B2 stealth bomber there and stealth fighter on display ...had miniature airplane races in infield of air port 2015.👍🐴 ✈
Have you ever shared what you tow your trailer with? Pros and cons, etc.? We have a 22 Tundra 1794 Edition standard bed, with the intent to tow a similar RV as we approach retirement. Any advice on that side of RVing would be appreciated.
Hey there! I've talked about it throughout several videos. We have a Ram 3.0 EcoDiesel. Could use more power but we love it! If I were buying again today it would be a 3/4 ton. No doubt
Glad you are enjoying your solar setup we love ours and it makes HH/BDW so much more enjoyable. Mike and I will have to compare notes at the National Rally as we have 1000w of solar on our 2600RB. There are lots of other great brewery's in the Central Ohio area if that is were you landed for your contract. What area are you in for the Rally, we are in D.
We love Harvest Host as well. We actually have 2 nights planned with them this weekend and we work our way from Pennsylvania to Maine. I hope you have better luck with the Flying J app than we have. We keep trying to use it but a good 60% of the time it won't work, it's been quite frustrating.
We are! We honestly don't love doing the semi-truck lanes and feel like they tend to be a lot more than the regular diesel lanes. But it is a great way to save for those who prefer that!
Good morning, great video. The most infuriating thing about watching your videos are all of the places I have to add to my must see list. How rude!….. Just Kidding ;). That looks like a great place. I luv breweries and my wife luvs dogs (even though we only have cats at the moment), so would be a great place to stop for us. Looking forward to seeing the places in OH you visit while on assignment. Safe Travels.
It's easy to obsess over Khali, I mean it's her show after all, right? Glad the power system is working out for you! We picked up a Jackery Explorer 1000 with a pair of solar panels to run the fridge we just put in our van and things are going ok so far, though we're still just garage testing everything right now. We're hoping to take 'er out for an overnight at the state park or a day trip to the lake sometime soon. I don't remember how much I've shared recently, but we figured we'd go the "easy" route of a premade system since we're camping out of a minivan for now, so simple and compact is critical. Finances are kinda limited, so we're picking up what we can as we can afford it. The fridge and power system were sort of a combination of Father's Day and birthday splurge. I bet the fans allow you guys to relax a little easier when Khali stays home by herself now.
Congratulations Steph on your new work assignment! Ohio has alot to explore and I look forward to your adventures. Please.... do not become a "Buckeye Fan" lol! Safe travels!
Welcome to Ohio! We're about 1.5 hours from Columbus. I'd suggest visiting Amish country in Holmes County, but being from Indiana, it may not have the same appeal to you as others.
Good luck with your new contract!! We also prefer Flying J for fuel stops. We like the RV pumps and the fact we don't feel like we are in the way of the truck drivers trying to earn a living. Plus the diesel pump in the RV lanes doesn't have that huge oversized nozzle like the truck lanes.
So happy for you, Steph, on your nursing contract! I hope you enjoy your new job and co-workers. My husband and I sure enjoy watching you guys' videos. You both seem so nice and down-to-earth.
Great video as always!! We immediately noticed the Brew Dog logo and recognized it! We ate at the Brew Dog in Reykjavik, Iceland! Apparently Brew Dog has locations worldwide! If we ever make it to Columbus, we will have to try that one out too! The pizza you guys got looked delish! 😋
Thanks for giving us real world, overnight updates on your solar. I’m close to switching batteries to lithium for us, even though we don’t overnight yet.
We don’t have a full solar setup but we have a Renogy portable solar panel and really like it. We also love HH. We tend to use it on our way to a destination or on the way home. We haven’t been to Ohio very often so no suggestions, but good luck to Steph on her new contract!

No such thing as too much battery capacity ! Kinda like having too much gas 😮
Welcome to Ohio! I'm a work from home RN in the lowest part of Ohio (Proctorville). Definitely visit the Columbus zoo, Cincinnati zoo, Hocking Hills State Park.
Oh awesome! We've looked into remote work more recently. Thanks for the suggestions!
@@lifererouted let me know if you need info about what I do from home.
Absolutely!! If you don't mind, shoot us an email at hello@lifererouted.com 😁 definitely interested in your thoughts!
@@lifererouted I tried sending you the email and it came back saying invalid email address
@@lifererouted I sent you a message thru ur website
Columbus Zoo and the Wilds. We tried to visit too soon in the spring and it was cold and the Wilds was not open yet.
Thank you! ❤️
You got to check out Hocking hills! Love you guys be safe!
Favorite Spot in Ohio... Kelly's Island State Park. 30 min Ferry Ride. Nice place. We went one year during an owl banding event. Great memories.
That is awesome!

That dog friendly Harvest Hosts looks very nice.
Thanks so much!

Do y’all also have a TSD fuel card? I’ve found bigger discounts using the TSD card usually at TAs. We use HH also on our long trips also.
We never have signed up for one.
dam u weree by my area when u passed the yall water tower u about 10 mins from me cool
Glad you are enjoying your solar setup we love ours and it makes HH/BDW so much more enjoyable. Mike and I will have to compare notes at the National Rally as we have 1000w of solar on our 2600RB.

Sounds good! We hope to meet you there!
Good luck Steph. Nice stopover at the brewery.
Thanks so much! 😊
Dog friendly and brewery! TwoFer da win!!! 😂❤
🎉 Best of both worlds! 😆
Greetings from northeast Ohio. Geographically where is her contract?? Northeast, northwest, southeast or southwest??
Thanks! Central!
We love Harvest Host as well. We actually have 2 nights planned with them this weekend and we work our way from Pennsylvania to Maine. I hope you have better luck with the Flying J app than we have. We keep trying to use it but a good 60% of the time it won't work, it's been quite frustrating.
Oh man! I had a little trouble with it but it seems to working now. Safe travels!!
Congrats Steph!
Thank you!!
Indian Lake and St Mary's lake they're pretty nice
Thank you!
Like your solar setup. Seems like a very reasonably setup for the money - 👍
I love it!
Can you give us a ball park on the cost of the solar upgrade?
The prices vary so much, and everything is on sale! You'd have to check it out on their website: renogy.sjv.io/YgoaBe
We have Renogy products as well 2 years and all is good 👍
Good to know!
🤤 P R O M O S M
👍
TSD Open Road beats Pilot/Flying J over 99% of the time.
Good to know
Harvest host was a great suggestion. I stayed at 5 places so far this year.
That is awesome! Glad you're liking it. Hope you're doing good, buddy!
I assume you are aware of Open Roads app for diesel.
We are! We honestly don't love doing the semi-truck lanes and feel like they tend to be a lot more than the regular diesel lanes. But it is a great way to save for those who prefer that!
Is your inverter on a transfer switch or just a few designated outlets wired to it ?
Transfer switch is installed inside and it's hard wired into our system

Sounds like a great setup! We love those little solar gens. Let us know how it goes! I'll tell Khali hello for you!
Steph, good luck with the contract. I like the solar setup.
Thank you so much! ❤️
Congratulations Steph on your new work assignment! Ohio has alot to explore and I look forward to your adventures. Please.... do not become a "Buckeye Fan" lol! Safe travels!
Thank you so much!! 😊
You must be a Michigan fan 😂
Welcome to Ohio! We're about 1.5 hours from Columbus. I'd suggest visiting Amish country in Holmes County, but being from Indiana, it may not have the same appeal to you as others.
Thank you! Thanks for the tip!

So happy for you, Steph, on your nursing contract! I hope you enjoy your new job and co-workers. My husband and I sure enjoy watching you guys' videos. You both seem so nice and down-to-earth.
Thank you so much!! Love hearing that ❤️
Cardinal shooting center north of Columbus on interstate 71 has a very peaceful campground.
Good to hear, thanks Mark!
Kudos on the nursing contact. I know a few travel nurses through my daughter's friends. Very cool.
Thanks for the continued RV content.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video as always!! We immediately noticed the Brew Dog logo and recognized it! We ate at the Brew Dog in Reykjavik, Iceland! Apparently Brew Dog has locations worldwide! If we ever make it to Columbus, we will have to try that one out too! The pizza you guys got looked delish! 😋
We saw that they have locations worldwide - that would be so cool to go to one overseas! Not to mention going to Iceland 😍 Thanks friends!
Steph, is your contract in Columbus? My wife is a travel nurse currently at Ohio State! Wish we knew you were passing through!
Oh that's awesome! It actually is :) What specialty is she in? And tell her thanks for what she does!!
Awesome! She is an ICU nurse! She's working in the oncology MICU! Good luck with the contract and enjoy Columbus!
Thanks for giving us real world, overnight updates on your solar. I’m close to switching batteries to lithium for us, even though we don’t overnight yet.
Glad to help! We've been happy with our setup so far
