Tipsy Marlin Travels

Tipsy Marlin Travels

In 2018 we decided to say goodbye to our traditional jobs and hit the road as full time RVers. Traveling in our 42 foot fifth wheel pulled by our 2004 Peterbilt 387, we explore the country in our big rig. Sometimes we pick up work camping jobs along the way, which help bolster our income while living on the road. We love to boondock in our big rig, but we also enjoy Army Corps of Engineers parks, state parks and US Forest Service campgrounds. Sometimes we'll even cave in and stay in an RV park. It's always an adventure finding places that allow big rig camping and boondocking, but it's all part of the adventure. Join us and follow our travels!


For campground reviews, take a look at our companion channel, Big Rig Boondockers.

    Mena was supposed to be the of the movie titles that got changed to “American me”. Hilllary Clinton made the director quit and change forced the name change of the move. Why you ask? Because it was 2016 and she was running in the primaries, and the democratic party didn’t want any negative attention.

    Dumb video. Dumb as dogsh*t. Who cares. The drug world is dying off thank God. I was a drug addict for 4 years of my life and the only thing worse than the drugs themselves were the people I had to live with in that rotten world. Believe me when I tell you people it is a dangerous, backstabbing business! I have nothing good to say about it or the Low Life scrubs I had to deal with in that terrible life. Somebody somewhere was always planning to rip off someone. This all happened in Dreadful New Jersey. Highland real fast I could not even trust my best friend. In that life, everyone you meet is a lying, conniving, two-faced lowlife crud!

    No drugs, from Barry's c123, were ever unloaded at Mena. There was never any Latinos running around with guns on or near this airport. The Arkansas State Prison had an outside work program, at this airport, where they stripped and painted aircraft. If there were any narcotics on these airplanes, it wasn't very much.

    I learned to ride at 58 also. I'm now in my 73rd year. It is good I didn't ride earlier as it would have destroyed any concentration or focus on my career. But, since learning I've ridden all across the US and Canada. Always, always, always remember, where you look is where you go. I'm sure you've heard that before, but it is true. And loose gravel and deep sand are not fun. I've dumped the bike a few times and now I no longer ride off-road. Good luck. BTW, all my buddies have quit riding and keep telling me I need to do the same. I don't see it happening. As long as i can get my leg over the bike, I'll still be riding. Stay safe.

    I remember this from when it was happening and you couldn't buy cocaine around here back then. My ex brother in law sold supplies to a place at the airport that was building hidden stash places in the floors of small aircraft. I knew a guy who got killed because he was dumb enough to steal one of the M-16's they were assembling at the old boy scout camp near Smithville OK. He showed it off one night in the parking lot of a local bar and a local doctor killed him about a week or two later. Doc Pierce did very little time over it and moved to Colorado right after he got out.

    I went to high school with he boys. Live a mile from the tracks. Look up Dan Harmon , I showed a documentary about them to some friends in the mid 90s one of the women said I know them, they usta chase after us mount st Mary's girls and bragg about the drugs they were stealing. Supposedly stealing the drugs from the tracks from one of the late night drops.

    I’m from saline county Arkansas, and the boys on the tracks conspiracy is very similar here. None of the younger kids know about it and all the old people won’t talk about it. People say that the drug drop that Dan Harmon was out in the woods looking for was connected with Barry seal and the mena connection.

    He had a couple of root canals and five new crowns - they replaced all of his old ones. It was $2200 for everything, and he said they're the best teeth he has ever had. They really did a beautiful job.

    I went last month to Abdul Iniguez. I got 2 implants for $1200. Free xrays. I have to go back in a few months and get the teeth and abutments for the implants made+2 zirconia crowns. I contacted a different office that has their own hotel included with the price. They quoted me $1880 for the two abutments and 4 zirconia crowns/implant teeth. And 5 nights at their hotel. I would go back to Dr. Abdul. But the other place has the hotel and I guess knocked off the price of everything. To get me to come to them. Glad you guys had a good expierience. Only thing for me is I live in St. Louis. Gotta fly there...$600 round trip.

    That's a really good question. We built that about three years ago, and neither of us can remember what wire we used. We did find that the local electrical supply company was a huge help in figuring out what we needed. I'm really sorry we don't have a better answer for you.

    We spent $4500 to have the Smart car bed built, about $150 on the Jackalopee for the wiring conversion and about $1500 for the Hensley air ride hitch. You could say we had the bargain build, and I'm sure prices have gone up since then. You can definitely spend more -a lot more - but you also could just go with fenders, Jackalopee and hitch for about $2000 to $3000, then add more as your budget allows.

    We'll have a big reveal of what we're doing now very soon. JonesN2Travel did sell their HDT and bought a Class A motorhome. We just recently spent some time with them and they're doing really well, but Aaron has enough on his plate with his mobile RV business and Proteng fire suppression sales. The price of fuel has a lot of our friends slowing down for sure. There is another HDT channel, Big Truck Big Travels. They're Dave and Sondra, they have a Volvo HDT and a custom Spacecraft fifth wheel, and they're great people. Thanks for coming back to watch us and we'll have more soon!
