On our first trip this year we blew the transmission in our toad less than 2 miles from home (yeah I forgot to shift to neutral). Got it towed in, and went on our trip. On the way home, the motorhome check engine light came on and we went into limp mode. Took 23 hours for roadside assistance to find us a tow truck in desolate west Texas. It turned out to be a code malfunction but took us an extra day and the cost of a hotel room before we got to head on home. I hope that is our worst “oh crap” moment ever.

Good to know I wasn't the only one that experienced a unpleasant vibe at that Malibu rv beach spot. It seemed they didn't want to let me and my wife stay there. Didn't want to pull the race card though. Still want to experience tgat place. What can I expect when I actually get a chance to stay there?

We use a spread sheet to plan our trips with the following columns: Day, Date, Place, Distance, Travel Time @ 60 mph, Fuel consumption, Fuel cost, Route, Campsite, Address, Rate, Phone #, Remarks. It works wonders!

I love finding those little hometown diners that I can try BREAKFAST! My favorite meal! However cooking your own meals can be very satisfying. This last year my son convinced me to try Instapot which works out rather nicely. Yes, the microwave is easy and used more frequently than not.

Wife and I drove into Zion NP. The attendant asked (quietly) if we were 'seniors'? I had to ask.... over what? She said 62.... yes by a long shot! The you can get the lifetime Seniors pass. Great.... how much? $10.... for life! Sold, Sold, Sold!!! Right time, right place!

One of the most amazing things about RVers is how willing we are to offer advice to each other. Not just long-timers but also newbies as well. And I'll be soon joining you folks on the road.

My cousin also has trimmed her eyebrows with the propane oven on one of our many RV trips...sure does make a loud bang...I ended up under the dinette table...couldn't stop laughing the whole trip whenever I looked at my cousin...in fact, I still laugh thinking about it...

Entry into national parks is free for veterans! Get a veteran ID card.

When you need propane, check to see if there is a Tractor Supply store nearby. They usually have the best price in our area. I do try to avoid toll roads when towing. I hate paying more than double the car rate to tow my travel trailer on their roads. And you don't get any break on the fuel taxes when paying tolls, either.

TC is the best deal around here too. I'm lucky to have a TC I can stop at on my way to the highway, and a Cabela's with a dump station on my way back. Trips start with full propane and end with empty gray and black tanks, and I don't have to go out of my way at all.

Thank you for making the point that cost is directly related to your RVing lifestyle. Appreciate your cost saving ideas and the benefit of your experience. Nice to see your Classic rolling and the new ideas explained. Add - COE parks are half price with the National Park Pass.

I have had my pass for almost 4 years. I paid $20.00, I turned 62 just before the change of cost to the $80.00. It is so nice to be able to go places and stay for half price it is worth the cost. I have got my dollars back long time ago. Probably the first year. We got new tires for our baby. After that freeze in early February I checked all the tires and found one that was rounded in an odd way, the tire guys called it cupped? We had them all changed they were 2014s. Excited to ride down the road with good tires. We are heading to our favorite park soon. Enjoy your travels. Y'all be safe.

Us “newbie” channels and RVers in general appreciate the content of a channel like yours. We learn so much and get inspiration for our own adventures. Thanks so much and keep the content coming.

A wise man said, "Time is the ultimate luxury." Oh, that was you. So true. Most people can't spend a month or two exploring a place, but it's the best way. (although the ultimate luxury might be an ice maker!) My local grocery, Publix, occasionally has a deal where you pay $40 for a $50 Shell gift card. That's when I stock up! One year I had 20 cards, $1000 worth of gas prepaid. And you're not putting your bank card in a strange machine. I also use the Shell rewards card for $0.05/gal all the time. Being cheap, er, frugal I make a meatloaf the day before I leave. Then when I'm tired and don't feel like cooking, throw a slice on the Blackstone!

Love this suggestion! Thanks!

Gas Buddy has saved me a lot over the years. It saved me $1 a gal in Calif. by just going down the road another 10 miles. usually 10-20 cents if I use the app and stay away from the ones right off the exits. My experiences have been just the opposite with propane at distributors. Locally & 2x on trips they're about 40-50 cents a gal more. Surprisingly in small town gas stations have been my best experiences. Last year in Cottonwood AZ at an RV dealer it was 99 cents a gal. My lifetime Pass has paid for itself many times over.

My tip is to go out for lunch if you want to taste the local food. It is significantly less expensive then dinner so you can save money or go out more often. Thanks for the videos.

Las cruces native here! Andeles is the best I’m so glad you guys got to try it!

You two truly are the RV voice of experience! One thing we consider when choosing an RV park is how much of the day will we actually be spending at the park. If we are planning on being out and about till dinner time we may choose not to book a premium spot with a view. We have also found Uhaul dealers have inexpensive propane and charge by the gallon/pound and not the tank.

I always love your perspective and humor when discussing these important topics. We are 2 years from going full time. I’m absorbing all the info I can from experienced rvers like you guys!!

I imagine the artists decorating the outside with corn kernels every year would disagree. :) If I remember correctly, it's a gymnasium inside that hosts events so not much to see there, but it's just a quick jaunt off I-90 (a few blocks) to see the outside. Those tourist traps draw people in to use their gas stations and restaurants and help save those little towns. One of my friends who lives in Mitchell calls it the armpit of the state, but it's home! lol

Goodness! Well done guys ! My wife and I are picking up our FIRST motorhome. A 2000 Roadtrek! We never tried it, but listen to you guys often! VERY informative !

thanks for the comment on the driving. 4 years of fulltime, and it is the number one aspect of RVing that i feel people make.

Heading to Yellow Stone again at the end of July. Excited to get out again. Safe travels !!

We're finally starting our journey. 2nd shakedown cruise tomorrow. Then 15 days until departure for the big trip. We'll be in Gillette, WY for 6 months, then it's off to see the country. Hope to run into you some day. Love your channel.

The On Crap find is a must. We also carry some key spare parts on out trips. And a good tool set😊

Thank you so much for your entertaining videos. I’ve been stuck in a hospital for over a week now trying to recover from COVID and the ability to listen to some calming voices means a lot. This experience has changed me. I feel I will be much more empathetic to people in general. The real unknown toll is the loneliness that you will suffer. It is real. If possible have a way to communicate. Love to you guys & hugs.

Thanks Mike, sorry to hear you have been sick. Get well soon!

As always great information and suggestions. Love listening to you guys. We are trying our first long long trip this year, year 3 to camping and this year with a FW. Leaving upstate NY diagonally across the country to OK, NM, AZ, NV, up 15 to Montana and back across via Mt Rushmore. Mixed up camping plans between state parks and regular campgrounds, bringing the generator for some of the stays. Lots of side trips from base camp when possible. Not spending as much time as we should but we still have a home and yard to take care of this year, so about 45 days. You get this way you'd love the Finger Lakes area. Thanks for all the information you've shared.

We've found the big companies to be more expensive than other places, except for a couple places in Columbia Falls, MT! The best prices are at local yocal hardware stores, even Tractor Supply has been pretty good.

One of the better videos, really enjoyed watching. Didn’t actually learn much new but I did. need to be reminded. Thanks and stay safe

Last year, we borrowed a neighbor’s camper. After replacing the lift system(HiLo) , the water heater and associated water lines, we took a 1600 mile trip over the Rockies to Washington state to see our grandkids. We had a problem free trip on the way West because we only travel about 300 miles a day(5 days total). But on our return trip, I needed to get home quick (our house sitter, pool girl, lawn mower quit), so I drove approximately 550 miles a day, 80 miles an hour. That was hard on us and the travel trailer. We have decided a travel trailer is not for us!

Thanks for the advice. I took some notes.

Good information. Thank you for sharing!

Just got are first RV nervous and excited all at the same time, been watching you guys for a while got lost of your tips ready to use. Going to take some short trips this summer to get setup for a much bigger trip next year,keep up the great videos they are great help.

Great video and great tips and ideas! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise! We are currently camphosting in Townsend, TN (The quiet side of the Smokey Mountains) and trying to plan for our 2022 adventures as full timers.. We absolutely love your videos!

We are newbies and will be renting a class C and going from Seattle to Grove, OK in Sept. You guys are awesome and the info you are sharing is absolutely priceless for us. Thank you!

as a truck driver. yes do not do the push driving. stop rest, see any sight. one day i was trying to get some place, road work brought traffic to a stop. i remember pulling my brake valves. next thing i knew was the chp shouting at me to get my truck moving. there was nobody in front of me, for the mile of stopped traffic had moved on. and i am used to this life (have been for 40 years). at 63 i want out.

Something to note about the "cost" of a gallon of gas and how "gas mileage". Believe it or not, mileage will vary depending on the state you buy gas in, and sometimes based on what part of the same state you're in. A few years back I took 3 weeks to drive all over the country and the one thing that stood out to me was the "real" cost of gas in CA vs say, TX. CA and TX is the example I'll use here. Gas prices were 20% more in CA vs. TX. HOWEVER, gas mileage for the same grade of gas in TX v CA was significant. My mileage improved in TX using the same grade of gas by a little over 10%. Factor THAT savings as you calculate cost per mile and it's pretty significant. CA loads it mixture with all sorts of additives, "oxygenated additives" and some ethanol. It's crap :) Happy travels!

We pick up our couples coach tomorrow! Just working my way through every video on the the beginners playlist. ha ha Really appreciate the content and I've learned a ton. While I've towed many trailers over the years, I've never had a travel trailer, so I'm anxious, scared and excited, all at the same time. lol Your videos are helping curb some of the angst as I do my best to over-plan and organize for our upcoming adventures. Thank you both. Again... :-)

Thanks for the laughs regarding using the propane oven - I'm with Shaun on that one! Woohoo! You mentioned my hometown, Las Cruces, New Mexico - great choice going to Andele's! I once had a Ford F250 Diesel 6.0 😢 had the same thing happen as with Seemore but I couldn't afford to repair it. Had to sell.

(2days)-CO(4days)-Moab(3days)-travel route 12-I89 to Salt Lake City (2days)- OR (2days)-Washington State(5days). That’s as far as I’ve planned so far, any suggestions are welcome. We truly appreciate both of you thank you.

We usually aim for 6-8 hours a day when towing the trailer. I've driven from Maine to Florida in two 12 hour days more than once, but never with an RV. My personal road trip record is 4210 miles over six days. That was 26 years ago during One Lap of America, with three drivers taking turns.

Very helpful video, thank you! You asked - planning to head to Nova Scotia this Summer if the border opens up. Fingers crossed!

Loved the comment about toll roads in Maryland. Know all about them as I live there for now and avoid them like the plague.

Another great video! We have several trips planned this year including a trip to The Grand Canyon in mid September. We have reserved a bucket list item of Donna's, riding a mule into the Grand Canyon. Bonus Tip, the Senior National Park pass also gives 1/2 priced campsites at COE campgrounds! We stayed at one close to you in February, Gunter Hill near Montgomery Alabama. Beautiful campground and it only cost us $15 a night!

Excellent video. Very informative. Thanks.
