      ​@happytravelRV To working your oven, just turn it to pilot on.
      You don't have to hold the button in or anything and then count to 5 seconds and light it.
      Then, to get it to cook right, you used a stone pizza
      Pan on the bottom, right under the rack .And that helps your food cook evenly

      This is the best comment. To know that someone got some entertainment out of the hard work we put into this IS the best feeling. Thank you so much for making our day. We are a little bit jealous of your many years of travel but look forward to our many more years to come. 🥰🥰🥰 Have a wonderful weekend.

    The mapping/gps advice was very helpful and I'd have never thought of that.

    • @happytravelRV
      @happytravelRV  Місяць тому +1

      One downside to using the phone GPS is losing service and not having maps downloaded. 😕 But it’s been getting us around just fine for over a year now so no real complaints. 😊 it’s a good, budget friendly option.

    I think that last one was one of the biggest mistakes people make. They say they can't drive or tow anything big so they buy small. Then within a year they are upgrading. Upgrading is expensive! Are you happy with a towable or after a year on the road would you like a drivable? Maybe you would rather have a one ton dually and a fifth wheel. What are your thoughts on this? My wife and I live in Sarasota Florida. We have a Class A diesel pusher and we only part time. I just found your channel and subscribed too.

      Hey! Thank you for subscribing, we truly appreciate the support. We soo wish we would have bought a dually from the start. It’s definitely not easy to coordinate selling and buying and traveling all at once. How cool is that class a diesel pusher! We are intrigued by motorhomes too.
