    Just for clarification: We were so excited to share the info about free entry into Ohio state parks (its rare to find free entry these days) that we didn’t make it clear in the video that entry into the park is free, however, one still needs to pay for camping.

    Another great video!!! Thank you so much! Right now I'm staying at a boondocking site that is not too far away from town. A family came over right after noon, gradually, more and more of their friends kept on showing up. In the evening there were 8 to 10 cars and they were parking at about 3 feet from me, los music and breaking bottles just for fun. I had to pick up and leave. What a shame the huge lack of respect for campers. They liked parking by my site because I picked up after the previous people and the site was looking nice. I wonder if I should have kept all the trash to make the place not appealing. :)

We have gone a month without another slip so we may have dodged a bullet there. Also we had a leak in our transmission coolant line. (300) dollars. Over all we are happy with it's performance. We do like how many are being used by hospitals, Amazon, FedEx, ups, cable companies..So cheap parts should be available for a long time. We did see a Solis/Promaster build that looked amazing. Whatever you decided we hope to see you on the road. Good luck and have fun.😎

It is also running 2 MaxxAir fans and the exhaust fan for the toilet that I asked you about last week. (Yes, I took your advise and vented the toilet.) I want you to know that I truly believe these batteries to be worth all that Will Prowse says they are. I wanted to send you the link that sold me on them so you could decide for yourself.
