Thank you guys for the wonderful complements! We have never been to a rally, and certainly never hosted one! It was such an amazing experience! We were so happy to raise $1795.00 for Homes for our troops! We raised that amount in less than a week through the generous contributions from Three Way Campers, Brinkley, Lippert, NRTVA, Audere (Tracey Rodgers) and Zoom Room (Liz Claflin). We had such an amazing time and look forward to linking up with you two again! You guys are such amazing people and friends! We loved getting to know the couple behind the camera!

There's nothing like sitting around a campfire singing and strumming a guitar, but when you start singing for the glory of God, it makes that time much more meaningful!

Maverick- didn’t hear him “hacking” as you described it, but please be aware that there’s an extremely serious respiratory disease spreading across the country among dogs. It starts out with a cough and lethargy, but can quickly progress to high fever and pneumonia. It’s been difficult to diagnose and even more difficult to treat. You need to curtail their contact with other dogs until more is known. No nose to nose, shared water bowls, dog parks, etc. Protect those beautiful pups!

Hi again. Thanks for another enjoyable ride-along. We've been to a couple of rallies and they are fun. RV folks are really great! I noticed that Maverick has a discolored spot near the right side of his nose (at 2:55 in the video). If you haven't had a vet check that out, you might want to. It's probably just a normal spot, but it's best to be sure. Oh, and the Garmin RV GPS, is usually pretty good. They do frequent updates and I think that helps a lot. We get new updates almost weekly from them. It's on my pre-trip checklist, because, as you know, the road work seems to constantly shift routes, exits, lanes, etc. Have a great week, folks! 🙂

Rallies are so fun! We currently have a grand design, but are considering the Brinkley for our next rig. What did you have before the Brinkley?

Hey guys, we've been really enjoying your down-to-earth videos. Good work. We are van travelers however I have told my brother about your Brinkley. They travel in a 5th wheel and yours looks great.
