Great video. I love how you don't hide the problems. I am a first time watcher and I just subscribed. We never leave early either. The latest we have ever gotten out was 5:30 pm. In all honesty though the car broke down a couple of miles from the house and we had to limp it home and change vehicles. That was before we bought the RV. We have a 2006 42' Class A Monaco Dynasty diesel pusher. We tow a Lincoln MKX. The latest we have ever left in it was 4:30pm. It was the day we picked it up. The last thing they had to do was install our tow gear. After a quick light's check we found the guy had wired the turn signals backwards and that had to be redone. Then we had to figure out how to put the car in tow mode. When we finally left the dealership it was 4:30pm on a Friday in Tampa Florida in the rain. Being in the rain in rush hour traffic definitely taxed my stress level. We finally pulled into a Cracker Barrel in Brunswick Georgia at 12:30 am. For the night. I slept like a baby. Other Class A 's were there running their generator so we did too. We are all electric and in the South we wanted those 3 roof top air conditioning units running. We have never been to Buckee's but we look forward to one day. Looking forward to your next video. 🙂

Thank you for the positive feed back! There’s always bumps in the road, usually offers some opportunity to learn something new or challenge yourself to find a solution! Definitely stop at a Buc-ee’s if your passing one, it’s an experience! We are glad to have you here!

I am a San Antonian. Even WE can't believe our weather this year. It is abysmal. The way that you described Buc-ee's is spot on. Even Texans go there regularly.

Wow! I had this happen to me but my faucet was turned and the water poured onto the counter and ran into the floor. I love your hair tie trick!

You are really good at making interesting videos! My husband watches RV videos a lot. Most of the time, I think "WOW! This is not that good." Your first video is much better than people who having been doing these videos for years. Love the way you showed the quick repair on the way and the Buc-ees tour! We have never stopped a "Buc-ees" so it was very helpful. We traveled with our kids when they were little (one was handicapped). It was tough but some of our favorite memories were those trips. Keep making videos. I subscribed. Can't wait for your next one.

We just got our first exposure for Buccees in richmond kentucky on the way back from Hilton Head South Carolina. They are awesome. I was talking to a manager and he said its possible they are coming north sometime

Your wife is lucky to have such a handy guy to drive and make repairs.

Enjoyed watching your trip and I have some tips for a safer, more relaxing adventure. 1) Add some reflective tape to the sides of your slide-outs so drivers can better see when it is deployed in rest areas. 2) Start looking for rest areas well before you get tired. If you get one sooner, take the break. 3) DON'T rely on MacGyver road fixes... GO directly to the closest part store or dealer and get it fixed right!

A fun trick to solve the issue of getting everyone ready and out the door with a late start...do it the day before the trip starts! It takes all the pressure off to casually get ready and on the road sometimes before dinner, sometimes after dinner...and make it down the road even just a mile to the local Wally world to sleep. It has many advantages...it makes for a really easy start the next morning! And the fun and excitement get to start the night before with sort of a test run before putting miles on, in case something was forgotten. Enjoy the journey!

Our new favorite rving channel. The trials and tribulations are a major part of traveling in an rv, however the rewards are much greater. Harbor Freight has a Predator 3500 generator that we used for 4 years when boondocking and it ran one ac, microwave, and kept the battery charged. We kept it locked to the bed of the truck and never unloaded it to use it. Make sure the exhaust is clear and pointed towards the cab. We are looking forward to your ventures.

Often it was dinner time and sometimes after when I could get everything done and in the RV, so we drove down the road and slept in the Walmart...just a few miles from home. It took the stress off and made a super easy, early start the next day. Plus it was just fun!

Great quick fix on the trailer..... I'm not sure I would have trusted that! you proved me wrong..... Side note, When we decided we were going to "boondock" at all, I knew a generator was a must.... I got one just big enough to run one AC.... and it could charge the batteries at the same time

Our sink faucet does the same thing. I use a small bungee cord now. Bucees is now a Texas institution. You can get everything you need to survive except maybe underwear and socks. Great lessons here.

Live and learn on a trip, generator needed boondocking, assortment of nuts, bolts for major items

I'm so sorry you had such a serious problem with your RV. Unfortunately the new ones are not made well at all, that NEVER should have happened! So glad you could rig it well enough to not be stuck on the side of the road. We have been RVing for 12 years, been through 4 RV's, all 5th wheels. We bought a used one to start and now I wish we had kept it. Then went through two new Jaycos (back when Jayco was truly Jayco, now it's been bought out) and had significant trouble with both of them. Now have a 2006 model 5th wheel that was top of the line when new, it's given us no trouble. Nice to get in and go where you want and not worry about the RV. I wish you all the best in future travels!

Part of the learning curve of RVing. Good experiences for future travel trips. Cool McGyver moment with those pliers.

Always turn off the water pump and secure the propane tank valves. Run your refrigerator off of your batteries which are being charged by your truck. The same thing is true when you are leaving your camper for any significant amount of time (sightseeing or shopping, etc). Keep a roll of Viva paper towels in the cab of your truck.
