Thanks, we have been loving our time in Canada so far! We will let you know if we make it out y'all's way at some point!
A gentle and good-hearted person serves their partner first at dinner...so refreshing to see!

Thanks Skipper, best of luck and we hope to cross paths again with you at some point!
We recently got back from Yakima after picking up our YOHO. Back to the U.P. of Michigan for a few mods, and then headed Northern. First stop just short of Fort Francis and then up to Kenora for a few days visiting family, and then West from there on the no.1. West Coast here we come. Looking forward to seeing your big adventure, and hope to see you out there. The Yooper YOHO. And we love our tiny home.

You are living large..my Yoho is to be pick d up on November 12. I opted out of the diesel heater, and purchased the Newport P9000 direct from Dickinson Marine.. if you could send me some pics on your installation, I will pay, also come park your camper @ our house in Tahoe. (Nevada) welcome anytime
I will follow this journey with excitement. I might be getting stationed in Kodiak and we are going to trade in our grand design for a Kenai if that happens.

Best of luck with the potential stationing in Kodiak, that looks like a beautiful area!

Thanks! We had a custom mount built that mounted directly to the frame of the truck in two locations so it was extremely solid!
Yay!

Hi there, brand new follower! 👋 Are you coming through Anchorage or the surrounding areas? Scout is on my short list of favorite campers, and I’d love to see one up close. Also, my partner and I know great spots for beer and we’re full of Alaskan tips!

Hey Jessica! Unfortunately we already passed through Anchorage a couple of weeks ago and are heading back south to Seattle area. There are a couple of Scout owners in the Alaska area, if you join the 'Scout Campers Owners' group on Facebook you might be able to find someone to show off their camper.
Hey, enjoyed your video, but enjoy your lifestyle even more so. Would you be willing to share how you make ends meet while traveling for expenses and such? TY.

Hey there! Thanks for the comment and glad you enjoy the lifestyle. We were both fortunate to have good jobs that allowed us to save for a couple of years to fund our travels, but honestly if you keep your 'rig' cheap then this lifestyle doesn't cost a ton of money.
I have the same bike on the back of my rig but was thinking about moving it to the front like yours. When I had a bicycle on the front it got destroyed. How's it going with the Yamaha?

It went well for us for a while! It got splattered by bugs but never had any major overheating issues or anything (was also mostly traveling in cooler temps). We took it off before heading into Mexico on our way to Argentina, which apparently has strict laws against carrying anything on the front. We were also a little concerned we would overheat in Central America.
A WPG or GWP for your dog?
