    Just some advice. When your going somewhere that you know that is calling for snow. Take a tarp with you. You lay the tarp out on the ground in front of the steps of your camper. This way when it stops snow you just grab on side of the tarp and pull it.. a lot easier then shoveling and you also don't have that frozen bit stuck to the ground like you do when you shovle

    I’m a single female in her mid 40’s and I just spent the last year full-time RVing in a 35’ 5th wheel pulled by a 1 ton from TX to AZ to TX to GA up to ME and then to PEI in Canada and back to TX. It is a LOT of work going solo and times where I was scared, frustrated, exhausted, and plenty of tears before I took dee breath and did what needed to be done. I’m so proud of myself and thankful I can remember back on my adventure and am so glad I jumped in and did it. I even managed to back that thing up into a couple spots…although a friendly neighbor was always willing to help me when I couldn’t do it on my own. All that to say…ladies, you can do it! Don’t let fear keep you from living your dreams!

I’m pretty much homesteading on 15 acres I own in SW PA, all four seasons and mild winter but good snow, hunting and canning, gardening..

Our first snowstorm this year was 4 feet but it was warm, 10 to 20 above. Lots of shoveling had to be done and I am older than dirt. Have fun enjoy life because it’s really short. We have mountain lions, bobcats, Timberwolves and coyotes, but they’re usually more afraid of you than you are of them.

    I've just discovered your channel and this video has been the third one I've enjoyed. You did beautifully, Tanya. I felt badly when the light bulbs dropped. I was OK soon after when I saw the flowers. Nice details. Dinner looked delicious! The drone shots were great. And I really enjoyed the well-done musical accompanists throughout the video. They were well chosen pieces and ran for perfect lengths of time. And I think that you're brave. The threat of mountain lions would have kept me from walking the distances that you had.
    I've enjoyed the way that You and Dave interact, and the love you share shows through. I had to Subscribe!
    The blow dryer was a good idea, it probably would have worked with more time at it. My suggestion to prevent the vent lid from sticking is to remove the screen, then from the inside, treat the perimeter of the lid (and also the base attached to the roof) with either a silicone lubricant or (my favorite) Lemon Pledge. I've had good success using Pledge for sticking refrigerator door gaskets, as well as car door gaskets. Your coach looks pretty new so I expect over time things like that will wear-in and become trouble free.
    I want to say though, that I think you two might do better in a Class A unit. Having had years of camping and road travel experience is what caused me to make that suggestion. The EKKO is a nice and expensive coach, but it seems better suited as a starter unit or intended for one person. Another suggestion that I have (because I do this) is to buy an extra lid for the roof vent as well as an extra outdoor section for any skylights on your coach. They become brittle with age. One day while working on the roof of my coach, I leaned on the skylight and my hand went right through it. It had become brittle, and it didn't take much pressure for it to break. But bear in mind even a tree limb can bust one when parking. The worst part about having extras of these is finding a place to store them. But when you suddenly need one, you'll be relieved that you have an extra that's ready to go in. And especially so if the one you need generally takes a couple/few weeks for it to be shipped.
    Thank you for making this nice video as I truly enjoyed it.

    You got me at your talk to kitty witties. My kind of woman. As a Canadian, I have to say that snow storm was nothing eh? However, we camped last spring in warmer wet weather, albeit without electric hookup, and were miserable. We will try going to a plug in place this spring. What a difference it should make. Thanks for the inspiration!

    That first time alone in an empty campground or boondocking with nobody in sight is always a bit intimidating. I'm glad my first didn't have the snow added on top but you really rocked it!

    I have the sweetest wife in the world but it would be a cold day in hell before she would do what you did. Especially the part of setting up in the snow when there was no one else in the camp ground and knowing a heavy snow was heading that way. Ha! I love the "home" feeling of your RV.

    The little snow balls are called “Groppel”. As the water drop begins to form the speed in which it is falling smooths the edged. It’s like ball bearings on steep slopes prone to avalanches.

    I just discovered your channel today with this being the first I watched.. I found you extremely brave to face this head on alone.. I was literally cheering you on. We have been binge watching it all day. I love that your relationship is smooth and you can tell you really love and respect each other. I also think you are about as cute of a person as I could hope to find in a most interesting genre. I've always planned to do this when I retire which is 1 more year.. I can't wait. I have a Winnie already and have had it for years but I'm planning to trade it for a 2 bedroom camper and buy a full sized truck or suv and pull it. I feel bad that everytime you two go wondering at your many stops you have to unhook and pack down everything. I don't want to travel constantly like you do but rather chase 70 degree weather. I lived in Minnesota the last 15 years and I've done my cold duty. I grew up in Phoenix so I've done my hot duty also.
    My plan is to moved maybe 3 times a year and to supplement income I'll sell at farmers markets and flea markets.
    We are having a blast watching Dave and you do the visiting. We are currently watching the Salem MA episode right now.. and omg was he ever naughty. You were already spooked..
    Anyways, thank you for letting me into your life, your adventures and a ton of binge material..
    Stay safe, stay warm and continue to be adventurous, brave and simply a joy to watch..
    Cheryl

    Hi Tanya, RV dealers sell vent covers. Right now I don't remember the name. They are awesome. The cover allows the vent door to open and can leave open when raining/snowing. The cover has a vent opening .

    When the vent sticks, begin to open it using your crank knob but don't apply too much upward pressure on the knob or it may break, then remove the vent screen and with a ruler or butter knife apply gentile upward pressure against the vent cover until it pops free. If you can't access the vent cover through the fan and screen assy with your knife or ruler, you can purchase 2 small rigid metal rods 1/4" diameter or smaller and about 12" long at a home depot or hardware store, then drill 2 small holes slightly larger than the rods you purchased in the extreme corners of the opening side of the vent. Take both rods and insert them in the holes you drilled and apply even upward pressure to each side of the vent cover simultaneously and that should pop it free allowing it to be opened. Keep in mind that it may be difficult to close the vent afterward, but if this happens remove the vent screen and clear any frozen debris that may have fallen into the vent seal area.

    Also tarp the front (back too) of your vehicle windows, pull it off and you don’t have to scrape the snow off
    Be sure to secure it down with heavy string so I don’t blow away.
