The Backyard Tourists
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 6 เม.ย. 2021
Welcome to my channel! When I first started making videos I wanted to explore the amazing stuff in around Central Florida. I am a huge fan of Theme Parks (especially Disney) and thought why not capture some of the awesome things that happen here so that my friends and family can watch.
After a lot of soul searching, my husband and I have decided to challenge ourselves with a new lifestyle! WE ARE GOING ON THE ROAD! My husband and I bought a “new to us” travel trailer and we are going start checking off some bucket list sights with our 3 dogs. Good or bad, we will be taking life as it comes and trying to figure out what actually matters to us. I am so excited to downsize and get on the road in the next few months. In the meantime I have a lot of work to do prepping the house to be sold and getting rid of our stuff. Maybe we will do this for a week. A month, a year, maybe more?
Join us for travels in our backyard and maybe yours too! See you soon!

Our New Northern Maine home for the summer-Tour the campground & make some Chowdah with me! #rvlife
Hi guys! We have made it to our summer destination and have been busy setting up camp. What a place! We are putting down roots at Birch Haven Campground www.birchhavencampground.com on Eagle Lake in Northern Maine.
In order to save money, we decided to stay seasonally to get the best discount possible. We are LOVING our location and the mild weather can't be beat! We found out that when camping seasonally we are not provided with a picnic table or a fire pit. Kind of a bummer because we do not have room to travel with these items. My uncle came through with a fire ring and I took advantage of the available resources and made a rock surround for it. I'm loving the final outcome!
We have also been doing a lot of cooking. I have decided to include some those meals in our videos. I'm also super curious to learn how to cook over an open fire and you can check that out in future videos.
I want to thank you guys for watching and I appreciate the views.

Hi Guys! Well, we made it! We have officially arrived in Maine for our summer to remember. We are killing some time until we can check into our final destination in a couple of weeks. Because last summer was so cold an rainy, I really wanted to kick off this trip with a bang! That bang has turned into THUD! We got to Hermon and were welcomed with cold, rainy weather. I have realized that I need...

This one has been a long time in the making! We had no idea what we were doing when we first started Rving. That ignorance also showed when it came to choosing what type of travel trailer to live in. Long story short, we went through 2 travel trailers and a fifth wheel. BTW we also went through 3 different trucks but that's a story for another time. Here's a rundown of the three campers we have...
Dry Camping With Harvest Host At The MOVIES! Ended Up An RV FAIL! #rvlife #fulltimerv

Hi guys! We are in the midst of our journey to Maine for the summer. RV travel can be so expensive so in an effort we decided take advantage of our Harvest Host account to score some free/cheap camping. Harvest Host is a paid annual subscription that hooks you up with farms, wineries, museums and more for cheap or free overnight places to spend the night in your RV. Although it is free to stay ...

The Fancy Flea- Don't Miss Out On This Seasonal Gem! Plant City, Florida
Lithium, more solar, good solar controller and a good inverter. Great idea. I’m going to upgrade my stuff to modernize my system. Probably add more lithium batteries too. My favorite way to camp.
I have 400W of solar and 2 lithium 100ah batteries I’d like to beef up my inverter and add another 200-300 ah batteries.
You should have made it all night with no problem. That’s odd. Was the fridge on electric or propane? That may be the draw that killed them overnight.
@@Thesaltymedic36 it’s a residential fridge.
@@erinthebackyardtourist6856that’s probably why. My guess.
@@Thesaltymedic36 that’s what I think.
I have some videos on Boondocking and my new lithium batteries. I love it. My favorite way to camp. My wife’s getting use to it 😂
I’ll check out your videos. Thanks so much
We want to Mt Airy too. 😂 I also did a video on it. What an awesome town.
We’ve been back a couple of times now.
Well I’m actually pleased by your FT expenses. I retire in 2 years and we think we can beat that number down. Definitely cheaper to stay a month than a day, I’ve noticed that too. Great video 👍🏼
Thank you. I’m on track to reduce my monthly cost this year. Now if the cost of groceries would go down!
Oh I just commented that on your other video 😂 the Ft Kent/Key West thing. Nice campground. The kind I like unless I can boondock.
@@Thesaltymedic36 I want to do more boondocking this year. I’ve been looking into getting more batteries. I have a residential fridge and I want to be able fun the furnace in cold weather. Hopefully I’ll get that done soon.
We were up there 10 months ago and I had not been up there in a long long time. We stayed in the Portland area. I do miss those pine trees. We will get back up there soon and see the rest of the state. I’m going up to Ft Kent to the start of Route 1. Been to Key West so I have to see the other end 😂 Video of Maine on my page ✌🏼
@@Thesaltymedic36 my dream trip is to travel Rt 1 in its entirety!
Sounds great just don’t stop in Baltimore 😂
@@Thesaltymedic36 😃
Love it!!! So glad I spent 14 years in The County! Miss it sooo much. Keep the videos coming. ❤️
@@bethanygerrish754 thank you so much Bethany!
Great video, thank you
@@stuwardw thanks for checking it out. I appreciate it!
Hey it's so cool to see your new home for the summer! Beautiful spot! ❤
@@ryanmseay11 wish you were here with us!
Love the county and put many miles on our sleds staying at Roland’s Rondevous and eating at The Lakeview and the Spotsman which I heard it has closed.
@@johnleonard8311 this is one of my favorite places to be. I don’t know if I could candle a Maine winter anymore😂
A Maine boy from Turner Me living in Georgia.
@@johnleonard8311 there is something about this place that will always be home to me.
You did a great video of this campground me and my boyfriend have been camping there since 2018 it’s one of my favorite places to go!! I love to see others peoples opinions on the campground ⛺️ thanks for sharing 😊⛺️
I’ve been there twice now and love it. This spring we were there for opening weekend and got it for about half price because it was early in the season. BONUS! I’m a Disney girl and I love the fact that I can camp at a theme park.- one of my favorite places in CT
Oh man!! I sooo miss home. Ernie proposed on top of Cadillac Mtn overlooking Frenchman’s Bay. We love Bar Harbor and Camden Rockport. One of our first dates was walking the breakwater. Enjoy the summer in the County. One of the best places to be!! ❤
What a place to propose! Love it! I’m going to avoid that area like the plague this summer but I’m hoping I can visit in the fall before we leave. Roger loves saltwater and I know he will love that area if we actually get a chance to explore!
Good luck my 2022 Jayco fifth wheel is a pile it falling apart
Sorry you’ve been having problems with yours. We’ve had ours since last September and we’ve had good luck so far. We’ve put about 5000 mile in it. Not completely free of problems but all things we could tackle ourselves so far.
I love Maine ❤ I hope you enjoy it. I’ve lived here for about 5 years.
Thanks! I am from here originally but am fortunate enough to be spending the next 5 or 6 months here. It’s been a long time coming…
Get a little buddy heater
Great idea!
Awesome, thank you
Thanks for watching! I appreciate you
Sorry Harvest Host doesn’t allow slidin truck campers and some Van Campers!!
Some of those truck campers are nicer than a lot of travel trailers. Even some of the DIY vans are nicer and prob built better than today’s RVs.
Great information. FYI, my son LOVES Moxie, I cannot find it here in Ohio. Lived in VT for many years & he can get Moxie anytime there. Definitely looking/researching for more power in my camper & sailboat. Be well
Thank you so much for watching my video. I have to admit that I am not the biggest fan the taste of Moxie😅. I love it because it reminds me of Maine:). We will hopefully be amping up our battery situation this summer so keep an eye out for those videos!
@@erinthebackyardtourist6856 will do.
Maybe you’ll spend fall in… Texas?! 🥰
That’s my goal! Keep your fingers crossed that I can find a camp host job!
Nice....I'm up here in Dawsonville Ga. There are some great spots. Check us out.
We will! Thanks:)
Raised my 2 boys this way...they got bigger.. home got smaller. Best people you can meet
Agreed!
Love this! Thanks for the breakdown 🥰
Thank you!
I am a new follower of your channel.(Nr:214) Greetings from Sweden 😊
Nice to meet you!
Thank you, nice to meet you too
Yes come to Texas! ❤️😘
I’ll let you know if we head that way!
So peaceful!
It is! I going to do shorts of all of our campsites this spring/summer.
Thanks for sharing this! I was on the fence about trying it but I loved the colors Magnolia offers. I’m going to try getting their color in Valspar cabinet enamel paint. 🤞
Thank you for watching! Good luck with the valspar! I used the enamel on a different set of cabinets and loved the results.
This video was so helpful!. I have the same style cabinets. I wasnt sure if they would look good painted because they are stained a dark color. Seeing them painted gives me the confidence they will look as awesome as yours or your former kirchen I guess. Green is my favorite color, I guess I need to figure out the brand to use now.
Thanks for watching. This is the second time I’ve painted kitchen cabinets. The other product I used was a Valspar oil based product and that hand a stronger finish. It was stinky during application but was worth it in the end.
@@erinthebackyardtourist6856 .....Thank you very much, I am going to give it a go with the oil based one!
It may have to do with the material of your cabinets, who knows! 🤷♀️
It may, I sanded one of them down pretty far and got to raw wood. I have heard from others that they had a similar experience. Loved the color options but disliked application:)
I think it works with singular wrinkles like laugh lines or forehead creases, that’s what I’ve heard anyway. Going to try it
I hope it works for you! I do like most of Murads products. This one was not my favorite.
@@erinthebackyardtourist6856 I did try it, I didn’t see instant results but I’m going to use it until the bottle is done just to see what it does overtime time. Maybe my skin is just too old ha ha. On the plus side I have super sensitive skin and had no reaction to it so maybe that’s a plus if it works for some people who have sensitive skin?
What if you mix the makeup in the product, then apply it?
I’m not sure that would work. You’re supposed to put the product super thin. I didn’t like the product but I’ve heard from other people that they loved it.
Thank you sharing ❤
Wow those disney stuff.... they are so overpriced! My husband worked for Disney and I don't know if you heard of Cast Connections before. That's a place where cast members can buy stuff like that but for super cheap. That $200 chair would probably be sold for like $20 there
I have heard of cast connections. I have always wanted to work at Disney… but the older I get, I can’t imagine working crazy winter hours!
@@erinthebackyardtourist6856 oh yes Yes it is crazy inside the parks during winter. My husband did computer science stuff at the office for them so at least he didn't have to deal with that craziness inside the parks 🤣. I think you would lovvvee cast connections. They had so many items for so cheap.
I laughed when you said "a 45 year old good Saturday" 🤣🤣🤣. I'm 27 and that sounds like a fun Saturday for me and my husband lol
Lol! Let’s just say my taste in travel/site seeing has changes a lot in the last 20 years!
LOVE your green cabinets!!!😍 Thanks for this video. LOTS of very helpful info!
Thank you so much! My favorite kitchen ever.so sad that we sold this house just a couple of months after I completed it🤣
Hey Aunt Erin! Enjoying your videos. Uncle Roger in the background lighting up his arm was hilarious. Glad y’all are having fun and can’t wait to see some videos in the new camper! Love you guys
Thanks so much! Roger seems to provide a lot of comedy on this trip:). Thank you for watching!
I enjoyed watching. Love camping, we have a pop-up. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching!
Wow so cool that the theme park is right there! It looked nice too. Thanks for sharing your highs and lows. We’re headed to the Northeast soon and can’t wait! -Candice, Andrew, and Riley 🐾
New England is awesome! Bundle up…it’s getting chilly already. 😁
I really appreciate how you show the pros and cons, thank you. This might be the most beautiful amusement park I've ever seen, and that rollercoaster in the trees! 🥰 But the staff, oh no!
It was the prettiest theme park I’ve ever been to! Being a Disney girl, I have a tendency of comparing customer service to them and I shouldn’t do that. I would happily go back now that I know I can walk in and not worry about parking. I wish I would have shown the water park side more. Too many little kids over there and I didn’t feel comfortable. The water park looked really nice too!
I use Sherwin Williams alkyd paint and paint with good Purdy brushes. The paint flows beautiful and it’s durable. Ive painted three decent sized kitchens with it and its been awesome.
I would definitely look into that the next time. Thanks for the info!
I promise, when camping this is totally normal. 👍😅 ❤
Lol he’s so accident prone! This won’t be the last accident, I swear!
Looks like the family had a good time at Gettysburg.
Loved every minute of it!
Loved it !!
Thank you!
A great way to spend your precious TIME and ENERGY...in MayBerry.
Loved every minute…love exploring small towns:)
Hi, New subscriber here. We enjoyed the video. The views were spectacular.

I have been watching episodes online since we were there.
I love this series. ❤
Thank Bridget! Your the best! I’m working on a couple more episodes as we speak!
I thought you go to jail
I didn’t see anything like that…that would be cool:)
Green looks much better than the grey. Could you maybe tell me what color your living room walls were? 🤣
Let me look. I think I remember…
Behr antique Ivory. I will say that when it was up against the green paint, it brought out some yellow. If I had to do it again I’d choose something with maybe taupe undertones? A cooler shade
@@erinthebackyardtourist6856 Thank you so much! This will definitely help with touching up some spots 😉 We are so happy here!
Did you buy my house?
