The way I would’ve been driving Ruby back and forth across the parking lot from Clem to the casino in that heat lol

That's the beautiful thing about being in your late 30's, you just do what you feel like and don't worry if someone says something. Eric's like, can we film with our phone? Don't know, don't care. What are they gonna do, fight me?

You seem to always go to the hot places when they’re the hottest, and the cold places when they’re the coldest

Your candid storytelling in 'Our First Time RV Camping in a Casino PARKING LOT!' is deeply engaging. Despite challenges, your honesty and resilience shine through, making your vlog both relatable and inspiring. Your authenticity is truly commendable. And I am Floating Village Life

5:02 You can only fight heat "in front" of the windows. Never "after" the windows.

The year I graduated college (way back in 1976), my family embarked on a 4 week round-trip cross-country RV trip (starting and ending in Long Island, NY) in our 24' travel trailer that we towed with a neon green (w/faux wood panelling) Oldsmobile station wagon. I kid you not. It was something straight out of "National Lampoon's Vacation" and even had neon green and white shag carpeting on the deck created when we put down the third seat. Anyway, for the Las Vegas portion of the trip, we camped in the parking lot of the Hacienda Hotel and Casino's "RV Park". The hotel no longer exists but it was on The Strip not far from the airport. The "RV Park" was an asphalt parking lot with hookups, a club house, and pool. I have no idea how much it cost but it was legal and we had access to the Hotel and Casino. But I do remember how freaking HOT it was there - since it was the middle of July. Good thing we had hook-ups.

What amazing memories!!! That sounds exactly like what 70's RV dreams are made of...shag carpeting and wood paneling 😍 We wish there were more RV parks on the strip. It's such a cheaper way to do Vegas. Glad we visited when it was a bit cooler...we can only imagine how brutal it must have been in July 😅

I don’t know if you guys have a freezer on board, or space in said freezer, but you might want to get some ice packs that you could put under your back when you lay down in those hot places. You might want to put a thin towel over it but it really helps to cool you down. I went without a/c for awhile because mine broke and it’s expensive so I had to creative until I got a new one.

@Theendlessadventure

Ice packs...that's a great idea! Bummer your a/c broke, though. Hopefully your new one's going strong 🌬

Allison your personality is intoxicating ❤ I have been rewatching all the older videos to stay inspired and stick to my goals of getting out of my every day routine. A lot of the help has been watching your positive attitude even when you felt completely defeated.

You two would love Laughlin NV. Super chill little casino town on the Colorado river just south of Lake Mojave. Bonus is the Riverside casino has free parking for RVs and plenty of cheap rooms in case you want a ac and bed for the night

You should have battery operated fans on hand. We still have ours in storage till my husband gets the green light to hit the road. We moved to Florida from NY. The heat just getting used to.

Wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your channel. I love how real you are and admire the content and editing skills you have. I look forward to the adventures as you continue down the road.

Wow! First time I got about first one to view! Neat! Love your videos!

Eric and Alison...TIP ....To COOL your camper quickly open all windows and doors and just drive SLOWLY a few big circles in the parking lot... that will allow the hot air to flow out and the cool air to flow in.

Hey you visited our home town! You got to experience the temperature swings first hand - it'll be 110 during the day and drop 40-50 degrees overnight, it's great. Glad you stopped by MSA Annex! Great spot!

Thanks for the video 👍🏻

Fun times. Thanks for sharing

Love y'all. Will miss you when you stop. Y'all are awesome! Much love & peace. ❤✌️

So funny, life in the heat without a fan

Thank you for sharing this with me. I just loved it.

Thanks guys, I enjoyed this video very much.

Awesome videos guys❤

Good to see you again. 😊

Take ruby to edge of the world if you go north to flagstaff. Best views camping on the cliffs overlooking Sedona

Hey! I'm a fellow Phoenix-born baby, too! I don't remember anything about it so not helpful with the recommendations. I hope you guys have fun and can keep the early morning driving going. It's so stupid hot right now. Stay hydrated and keep us posted on all the good coffee. We're also crossing our fingers for a Nikita and Matt reunion in LA...

if you lost a lot of money playing craps you should of asked for a nice comped a/c room.

You guys are cool. Happy Travels!

Great vid!

Very nice video 📹 👍 👌 👏 😀. See you on the next one adventurers 😊😊😊❤❤❤.

Once again, entertained us with your trials. You certainly put yourselves through a lot! Very testing! Yet you put on a good smile through it all! We’ve also experienced heat in a caravan here in Australia on our travels in the summer. Not fun after a day’s drive when the van feels like an oven! Hope you find some relief in Phoenix! Love you guys! Better luck next time too!

Ya all are crazy! No way would I camp without A/C!!!

Welcome to our neck of the woods, hope you continue to have fun in Arizona, didn't know you were a Phoenix native. We've been here since 1996 and love it despite the brutal summers, having AC certainly helps. Cannot wait for the upcoming video on Phoenix and seeing what kind of cool spots you end up highlighting 😎

Can’t wait to see your Phoenix videos! It’s so hot here right now I don’t even have any suggestions on things to do. Maybe try Salt River Tubing. It’s a blast. Canyon Lake is gorgeous. You’re better off heading straight to Sedona. It’s so beautiful there.

We have no AC... remember that Generator you took out serveal years ago?? 😂 Also Reflectix works great in windows for keeping light and heat out

💡👍Brilliant !!

Happy to see that you went to a casino buffet they are always really good I have done it hundreds of times ❤❤❤

I really needed this today

I live in Tucson. It hasn't been cooling down to the high 70s until about 4 a.m. Best of luck!

Hey you are in my home state! We live in Sierra Vista and visit Tucson often! Welcome to Arizona! Good Luck with the heat…we are about 10 degrees “cooler”! 😊❤

Wonders of Wildlife Museum and Aquarium in Bass Pro Shops in Springfield Missouri is a fun place to hang out for a few days. We camped free in a parking lot there and ate many meals in the Bass Pro Shops restaurant (very reasonable prices) and went through the museums. You might try it.

Hello Allison and Eric. Looked like fun finding ways to cope. I was in Tucson two months earlier the year I was there. It was already hot, but preceded snow in Butte Montana a week or so later. We visited a casino in Las Vegas. I put $100 aside for the night and was up on cards for a while, until a new dealer suddenly started winning all the time. Time to jump to roulette.

We have 2022 GRECH Strada ION meaning all battery. Air conditioning is not problem, plus a magnetic type stove so not much heat. Super quiet, with endless hot water and so we splurged our budget and then some thinking of the future. No regrets. Oh and 3.5 turbo Mercedes chassis. So it’s really awesome and the guys at GRECH have been super to answer a lot of questions. The van is class “B” with goodies and now 2 years later we feel a little guilty for going overboard but it’s a true comfort…..ah. I don’t work nor am I connected to them in anyway. So for us we’d buy again tomorrow in a heartbeat. Good luck…like your rig too btw

That was a hot video! 🔥 😊

I would not be able to sleep if it was that warm up and I didn't have a freezer blowing at cold air on me LOL and yes The House Always Wins unfortunately

I live in Tucson… the overnight low 70’s don’t happen until close to 4am. 😁

And always have a battery power fan for daytime or nighttime use

4:11 it’s not even summer. Come back in July/August.

Oh boy...no thank you. 🥵 Best of luck with that heat!

I used to live in Phoenix years ago. The weather was agreeable year-round with the exception of August. But now with rapidly changing climate, It's hotter earlier and longer. I will be interested to see Phoenix - through you - it's grown and changed no doubt. You might try going up to the Grand Canyon where it's usually 10 degrees cooler and lots of pine for shade.

It is even hotter in Phoenix!

Southern AZ doesn’t cool off after sunset. Ever. Now northern AZ, where I spend my summers drops to cool temps after sunset.

Try Phantom Fox in Mesa, AZ! Amazing craft beer and plenty of IPAs!

You seem to have fallen in love with Texas. This was a good warmup (hahaha) for getting used to competing for the one shade tree in the entire parking lot - then having your car repainted white from the grackle crap.

if you ever do the rv thing again, get a LP generator.

oh cool, from the Phoenix area! you better find a place to hook that RV up, it's freaking hot up here. iI live in Mesa, Az

Your just a couple hours south of us in Phoenix... it doesnt cool down as much as you think at night - overnight lows (for us) have been in the upper 70's/almost 80. Do have fun in Tucson. If you have time, check out Barrio Brewing Co.

The casino buffet was only $20 what a bargain. You should have went back in for the breakfast buffet❤❤❤

I have Meta Wayfarer Ray Bans, and no casino so far hasn't told me no filming...... 😎

Wichita Falls has a great city park with EW.

I seem to recall you stayed overnight at a Las Vegas casino.

I just passed the Lutsen mountains in Minnesota, while doing the circle tour a detour from my Trans-Canada highway road trip. Anyway there was a pin on my Google maps for the Alpine slide and I just remembered how I got that pin that was from you guys when you were up here however it is closed today so I will not be doing it. But I wanted to say thank you for making these videos so I can pin cool places!

I live near Tucson and I’m not even there in this heat. Camping up in the mountains where it’s 75 degrees

My favourite band is from Tucson ,Az. Calexico 🥳

You're going to Phoenix? Out of the frying pan and into the fire! LOL Hope you can stay cool!

We ordered ours on Amazon, but I believe Camping World and etrailer also have them. We just searched for "RV windshield cover". Hope that helps!

Maybe this will help for the next time your fan doesn't work. From what I've read, there is a self-resetting fuse that might be tripped causing the beeping on your fan. To reset the fan fuse, pull the supply fuse in the fuse box and reinsert. This will reset the fan's fuse. Or you can disconnect your battery and reconnect. That is some brutal heat to deal with. Take care.

Go hike up S Mountain in Sunnyslope / Phoenix area. You can't miss it it is a big S.

You poor things. Here in Tucson there’s nothing cooler than 200 degrees outside past May. Come back in November. It’s much nicer.

Welcome to Tucson

Yes, but that was a full-on RV park with hookups. This one was just a free parking lot stay...well, until we went inside and lost all our money 😅

You need to invest in a couple of DeWalt battery operated fans! They have saved us several times in black outs in the heat!😊❤

you just got the permit, put it on the dashboard, the covered the window, lol.

Hand pie? Who's hands are in it ?!!!

Don't worry, it's that hot in chicago this week.

Casinos don't want you photographing card games, to count cards. Players are watched with security cameras. Typically bags are also not allowed. Boring places to visit if you don't want to gamble.

That casino parking lot seems unnecessarily large to me! They could have done with some trees for shade!

@Mel_in_PHX

Trying to run irrigation to all the trees in the parking lot is not easy in the desert. Then if the line breaks, you either have to run a new line by tunneling it under the pavement or break the pavement. Both are terrible options.

The first of May we stayed at a casino in N. CA. I hit a slot for $960.00 and had $7.00 played at the time. Not a bad start to a 6 month trip.

we've been watching you forever and would have loved to have met up, really sad right now. Tucson since 2002 here. You missed some of the best tacos in the area across the street from the container village at Seis, and if you were in that area at night you could have walked the whole strip downtown

You put your parking pass in your window, then you covered up your window with your shade.

That's pretty good that it dropped down temperature wise! When I visited an aunt/uncle 2 years ago...July summers in Tucson went up to 116 Fahrenheit...I thought my heart was going to stop...and my son was 5 so he had me carry him because it was too hot for him.... I dont know how my husband was able to even stand it, but I just said maybe because he grew up in NV. He thrives in heat while my son and I dying in the heat!

Not sure why you would want camp in the desert in the summer. Head west coast or the mountains. Heat like that woudl be awful for sleeping. Erik will have night terrors.

Why not have a backup generator to run AC? They are pretty small and effective

I was in Bullhead City Arizona approximately 15 or so years ago we stayed in a motel right next to casino and went to the delicious Buffet of course. Outside that day it was 122° I really could not tell the difference between say 100° versus 122° 🤔

I live in Phoenix Az and Rvs usually stay at Walmart parking lots for free

If you guys ever want to head into Canada, I think you can just park and sleep there. No permit needed in most casinos, but you got to at least eat dinner. Unless things change. I think Walmart's are still free to park overnight. mini portable AC needed :)

@Ro-Bucks Quit spreading false information about Canada. Don't bother trying to come to Canada & parking for free. Free parking in Canada is dependent on City/Town Bylaws & also the land owners & managers. In some cities, like Canmore, you can't even park on the street overnight. RV Livers have over used & abused their privilege too long. Pay for a campground & contribute to the economy.

You guys need to purchase a ryobi 18v battery operated fan. We always take at least 1 camping incase the ac goes caput.

That's how you learn in the world of gambling sadly , the table is definitely one of the most expensive to learn .

Reset your electrical system and your fan will stop beeping. This happens to us occasionally.
