    Just received our cookbook thanks. Also that rear grab handle on the back should be flipped over the door. Campers flex especially on the terrain you guys go on. The door has a tiny latch and lock which can come open so you’ll learn the hard way when you get somewhere and the door has been flung open your whole trip. Sure is nice to have the new setup in the rain eh..

    Hi you guys! We also have a Palamino Truck Camper and WE were just outside of Charleston during the October cold snap! Wanted to let you know about a mod we did on our 2902 that made it Way warmer, especially up in the bed area. We took the front window surround off [4 srcrews] inside, and found only a thin sheet of reflectex bubble sheet for insulation! We insulated all around the front cap and headboard areas with fiberglass batts and some 1inch foam board above window. Then to finish that area off, we pulled the mattress out and put a 1'' layer of K Flex closed cell foam sheets down with some adhesive [cut the sheets to fit together] now we have and extra inch of cushion under our mattress with an R9 insulation value. So nice and warm now! Wish we did it earlier. I would love to see you Guys do this and make a video of it so others can do the same to there own. Love your Vid's, Great work!

Add to that the music and the fire...I was mesmerized. My mouth was watering, and I was just waiting for you to hand me a bowl through my screen. C..stay away from those gators and wild hogs!

    Welcome to the South! We’re in NC, and what a shame the weather prevented you from enjoying the Blue Ridge Parkway! I know you two are headed to warmer temperatures, but at some point, you should consider exploring the Outer Banks of NC. Maybe this spring! You’ll also want to visit the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC, too! Stay safe!❤

    Yep! Getting closer to the coast is gator territory 😳 I lived in Florida for 27 years and didn’t know there were gators in South Carolina until I went to Hilton Head Island which is fairly close to Charleston. There have been gator attacks too ! Those ponds looked kind of scary. Like the kind that gators like to hang out in ! After living in Florida and hearing on occasion on the news that a gator had come out of a lake and snatched a small child or dog, I am very wary of the ponds as you get closer to the coast! Pretty video though 😎 And Kelly the food looked AMAZING as always 🥰

    Hey, while you guys are in SC, you should visit Congaree National Park! It’s the least visited NP, but so underrated! It is the largest intact expanse of old growth bottomland hardwood forest remaining in the southeastern United States. There are several champion trees there. Plus, you won’t have to deal with the mosquitoes this time of year!

    I know it sounds crazy but I could feel the warmth of that campfire coming through my computer screen. I could almost smell the smoke too. Almost like being there. Usually wild hogs will run from people, I have run into them several times when I was bow hunting and they acted terrified of me even though they were way bigger than I was.

    That is shocking they haven't visited the worst coast.

There's a small town called Beaufort, SC you should check out and Hunting Island State Park. They aren't too far from you. Those wild hog aren't anything to mess with, good thing you've got your camper. Funny thing about rocks on the east coast...we have white quartz rock where I live, but 10 miles to the east or west there are none.

My Mother grew up on College Hill Arkansas near Bramble Park, we moved away in 1962, Mom moved back 1981 after retirement. I recommend going to Edisto Beach while in Charleston area it’s a beautiful island. Go to Fontaine Charters and have Jimmy take you out fishing. Good Travels.
