Loving your adventure!
@@zackanderson7084 we are having a blast!! Quartzsite was everything we imagined.
Even Fin wouldn't eat it!!! LOL!! Happy New Year, you guys!!!
@@LesbiFITAdventures they were delicious!!!
@@ByTheCampfire-pm7yh , I will take your word for it! Did you wallpaper inside the rig?
@ peel and stick decals. www.amazon.com/your-orders/pop?ref=ppx_yo2ov_mob_b_pop&orderId=111-3573286-4853009&lineItemId=jgpmrxluqpnoumps&shipmentId=GfZZ71vYP&packageId=1&asin=B08J9P6NX8
Our memories of Vegas, walka walka walka. Amazing how far away that next casino is!
This was your best thumbnail and intro yet. I am really proud of you guys! Keep it up! (Make people wait longer to know the price. This is my tip based on the thumbnail. - And that is a crazy price!)
Ah, thanks for the love. We make progress every week. We hope everything is going well for you two. ❤❤❤
@@LesbiFITAdventures I would have paid that for a milkshake that went above and beyond. Honestly, McDonalds makes a better chocolate shake.
@@ByTheCampfire-pm7yh , that is a major bummer! We are well and hope you both are as well!
when did you travel? Is it recent? Travelling on 24th December to vegas and here
@@MOHIT-nf8zb we were there in mid-November. I would encourage you to go on a weekday if possible. If you have to go on a weekend go early and hit the trails on the north west side of the park first.
If we travel with a high wind warning we always fill the water tank and try not to dump if possible. This will help keep the weight low over the axels.
@@sewyoungdesigns4031 we did dump the tanks but added water to both to help.
Thank you for the kind words glad I made an impression good enough to make your video as being the friendly RV host 😂
We’ll be giving you a shoutout in an upcoming video Mike.
Have you gone to Jackson Hole yet ???
@@geminifox475 not in the RV. We are from Colorado and spent the summer there. It’s definitely on our list for future travel. Right now we are chasing warmer weather.
@ no definitely not now But go at the end of the summer. It gets brutally cold really quick. We owned a charming cabin in ISLAND PARK IDAHO, 15 min out of West Yellowstone Montana. We sold and moved to S.C., retired our shovels. But that area is all about how beautiful our country is. Happy Camping, I’m sure once we purchase our Z we will meet. 😉
What model are you two in ??
We have a Z3610, #3414
@@ByTheCampfire-pm7yhwe are considering the Z2900 just went to Goshen Indiana on Thursday for the Z tour. Very impressive. Great operation!!
@@geminifox475 you’ve been to the mother ship!! We can’t wait to go and are hoping next spring.
@ when you get there , there is a RV Museum and hall of fame in Elkhart ,, we enjoyed it !
Love the pine trees.
It was nice to have that so close to us.
I remember our trip to Las vegas ? when it was? 2008?
2007. That was a great trip!!!
My husband and I recently found your channel and just have to say we are really enjoying your videos. We also recently purchased a 8 Z2900. We are not full time at this time and don't know if we will but certainly learning a 5th wheel, hooking, and unhooking is full of challenges. I appreciate that you seem to have some of the same issues. Keep your videos coming.
Thank you so much for your comment! We are out west now and finding these tight campsites a whole new challenge. Today we had several people sitting outside, drinking their beers and watching us back in. It was not smooth!!
now go for the second one!!!!!
@@Santiago-c1m watch next week as the trip continues!!
@@ByTheCampfire-pm7yh of course I will . I think i watch all of them 🙂. I love to see you both
@@Santiago-c1m bring those kids and come take a trip with us. We have plenty of room.
@@ByTheCampfire-pm7yh tell me your trip plan and I see how can we plan to go ;-)
Wishing you both (and Finn) the best heading West! Remember Colorado will always be here with all the good people :) Godspeed. Looking forward to future videos!
@@lisajones8938 Thank you Lisa. It’s going to be quite an adventure.
We fold our fitted sheets the same, Scott! We have an upcoming episode filmed in the exact same spot! Thank you, Scott, for that and congrats on your upcoming adventures!
@@LesbiFITAdventures Leesa has a method and once folded all sheets and pillow cases fit nicely into one pillow case for storing. Maybe we need to do a video on that. We loved Bear Creek Lake Park and will definitely be back in the future.
We pick up our z2900 in Cheyenne on 10/21, have only seen a few Brinkley's come through Buena Vista, CO this summer, then then again we were working 7 days a week, lol.
Congratulations!! If you haven’t already joined I can recommend The Brinkley RV User group Facebook page. We’ve learned so much from other Brinkley owners on that page.
Good to see you all gathered together in beautiful surroundings. Loved to see Finn's view of the hike, dogs are always great - they tend to take the path of least resistance! Thanks for sharing :)
@@lisajones8938 Finn loves hiking, but he feels the need to lead.
We were there too. Got a chance to tour some Brinkley’s . We are seriously considering one. We will start looking once we get home in November. We were in the site right across from the Klein Tank guy. He was nice enough to help our friend that was having issues with her Van too. You can see our White Dually truck when you made the turn at the 12:28 mark.
@@kcwerv you were directly across from us then. We were right next to Kleen Tank. I can’t recommend Brinkley enough!!
Ahhhhhh!!! Thanks so much for the shoutout, guys!!! We really appreciate it! We will be returning the favor soon. Great video!
@@LesbiFITAdventures hope to see you both down the road. We made the decision that we’re headed west in October.
What an amazing trip this was.
We use a 90 degree power plug in our dinesk -and then run a power tower on the top to plug everything in to. We had a fridge with French doors and freezer drawer in our last rig and find we have more freezer space in the side by side. We also fit pizzas in it… I never thought I’d like the side by side but am finding I like it !
@@socialsonya thank you for your comment and for sharing your experience.
Sounds like you shouldn’t drive a motorhome or trailer in that state.
@@dougnoonan5663 it’s the first time we’ve encountered anything like this. Part of it is driving an RV in ANY city. I will be issuing an apology to every RV I’ve gotten impatient with in my past. People don’t realize we can’t stop like a car does when we’re towing.
It is totally the engine brake! Don't sweat it. Obviously, trust your own gut about your own truck but what you described is exactly what the engine brake does. Great job!
@@LesbiFITAdventures thank you!! It freaks us out every time.
Barr Lake is where my son caught his first fish at eight years old, a 4” inch Bluegill, hah!
@@lisajones8938 this was our first time. We were shocked at how low the lake was.
Thank you for your video. I too am annoyed with the side by side refrigerator. It would have been much better to have a refrigerator with French doors on the top. No matter if I lost freezer space. It's terrible trying to get a 9 by 13 glass dish in that narrow refrigerator. The furniture is my least favorite. I think it's very ugly and the color is disgusting.
@@suzannemcgee4885 we put covers on the couch which helps, but Scott does not like the furniture.
Maybe try one of the 90 degree power strips for the outlet under the table. They are a lot shallower from the outlet and should help when moving the dinesk back and forth. Picking up my 3610 on Thursday! Happy Travels!
@@boom3198 thank you for the suggestion. We’ll look into it. Congratulations!!! Have you joined the 3610 owner Facebook group? We’ve learned so much from that group. Hope to see you on the road!
It takes a while to get comfortable with a rig . We still have to double check ourselves and we have been doing it for thirty years. Good luck.
@@dougnoonan5663 we get a little better with each move. We really need to get more comfortable with the auto level. We had no idea what we were doing and had issues right out of the gate. Even after watching dozens of TH-cam videos we are still very intimidated by it.
great !! you made it!!
@@Santiago-c1m it was a short move but it was good practice!!!
I cant believe its been 2 months!
@@raysmith9324 I know!! The time has flown! We officially hit the road in a month. This all felt so far away when we ordered our Brinkley in March.
You too, are so sweet together. She reads directions he doesn’t. You complement each other perfectly.
“Did you read the directions?” Is a frequent conversation in our household. Or, “ did you check the owner’s manual?”
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very entertaining you all :) Love the gopher tunes and happy Finn is getting spoiled too, new girlfriend and bed! Happy trails to you!
@@lisajones8938 the gopher was very brave and Ellie and Finn have been friends for several years. He is always happy to see her.
What app did you use to detect the fire?
@@Misty-xq6nr it’s called Watch Duty. It was free to download. I think there’s a subscription if you want all the bells and whistles. I just need it to alert me if there’s a fire in my area. Thanks for the comment!!
Thank you for sharing! Wonder what river that runs under the Keystone Bridge. Finn's a good boy! Love the tunes too :)
@@lisajones8938 that is the north fork of the South Platte River. Finn is the best boy when we’re out in public.
When you have time stop at a truck stop and weight the truck and trailer and know your height.
@@johnfd5454 that’s our plan when we make our next move. There’s a Love’s not far from us.
Have fun guys 😊
Enjoy your time !!!Hope your pup feels better soon 😊
Awesome! Get ready for the adventures down the road! Take care.
Thanks and safe travels!
OHHH !! my God!!! I love it! such a greats advenrures are waiting for you😃
Bring the kids and we’ll take you with us!!
Hey! Great video, I’ve been considering moving to RV life for a bit now. A Brinkley seems like a great rig to start with!
We spent months shopping for a rig that worked for us. We looked at every manufacturer. Nothing came close to the quality and customer service of the Brinkley. Good luck with your search!
We love this rig. I rave about it all the time.
@@ByTheCampfire-pm7yh If you don't mind me asking. What was the deciding factor for a rig and a truck instead of an all in one RV? I've been looking into used motorhomes.
@@TheAnonymousAficionado there were several factors for us. It came down to the space available in the fifth wheel (bunk room), and price. We did look at super C’s but they didn’t offer that extra space in our price range.
What a B.A.B.
i am excited to see your next episode !!
Not this week, but next week will be big!!!
We understand about the pictures, that's always tough. Was that a spider?? Danny and Lynn RV America
Thanks for your comment. We will take a few of the pictures with us, the rest will go in storage. LOL, he thought it was a spider. It was some kind of beetle but there was a volley of cuss words. I love watching that part of the video. The little guy just wanted to be part of our video. 🪲
love you oxo
OH wow, lots of stuff to sale. Hope you had fun!!! I will look at the sewing piece shortly
That’s just a fraction. We’ll have one more in a few weeks that will include all of the furniture.
Whats that futuristic looking sewing machine at the end?!? And Love the sewing warning! Maybe the trailer needs a porcelain doll mascot to ward off unwanted spirits.
That machine is a quilting machine. I mentioned it in the last clip and after recording that piece the ad popped up in my Facebook feed. No porcelain doll but we do have a mascot that I’m sure will make an appearance.
Ahhh thought so! Fantastic!!
Emotion fabric: Mickey Mouse was used to make a wall quilt for Xavier ❤
That’s in the keep pile for now.
Also we would both LOVE to see more sewing!
I’m sure I can find more sewing projects to share.
🤠👍🏼
So excited for you two. Just sounds like a dream come true. I’m sure you’ve done all the research as good as it needs be done. As a person who over thinks and over analyzes, I’ve slowly come to realize that after a certain amount your on solid ground no matter what and the smaller details are ultimately insignificant. What matters is you’l be out there together living your best life, learning and adapting along the way. Surely they'l be a broken this or a leaky that. The same would be true in a house in CO. You’l figure it out best you can together and come away with stories to share. We’l be watching in envy and awe you crazy kids.
That is exactly what keeps us moving forward. Thank you for following us and for the encouragement!!
