    Ryan and Sara, my wife and I are so embolden to face our Beacon problems, not that ours are like yours at this time. I hope you keep the stories coming. The two of you do so well on the video creation; production isn’t the right word for your art. It’s more than information. I really can’t say enough good things about your videos. Also, I’m sure you’ve thought about this, that is, if y’all didn’t have these plethora of problems you’ve had, I wonder if your channel would be as successful as it is. I am confident you’ve helped and will help thousands of RVers with your recorded experiences. Blessings to you both. We too feel the burden of services center living lifted from you. Your joy is contagious. Thank you for your heartfelt and detailed stories! 🌞

      Well, thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 we aren’t sure where our channel would be without the problems we’ve faced with the Beacon. We definitely had ideas of how it would go and that’s not at all the direction things went…kinda like life, I guess! It’s our story and we will continue to share and learn and adapt and grow no matter what 👍🏻 Your comment means so much! Thank you for coming along with us on this journey ❤️ Ryan & Sarah

    Take the Solar!!! Cut the loss..and come join us in a Brinkley. Pinecrest is going but we are keeping most of the solar. Do it you won't regret anything 😁😁

    • @MidlifeDetour
      @MidlifeDetour  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is sound advice! I have a thing for those Brinkley's. When they announced the toy hauler version that was the same floor plan as our old toy hauler... the temptation continues to grow.

    • @mikeventi637
      @mikeventi637 ปีที่แล้ว

      @MidlifeDetour Agree, typical layout until they announced the new layouts a couple of months ago...they are beautiful with great layouts...buuuutttt.....they are 45' in length...no tiny 5'er....best of luck and safe travels!!!

    @mikeweis5925 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I totally understand your commitment to try and stick with your RV. Great video. Glad you worked your way out of that spot. I recall many a night hoping I could get out the next day. Now that we have a 4 wheel drive truck we don’t spin our tires and get stuck (as easy).

  • @mikedeneve01
    @mikedeneve01 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Oh GREAT to see you guys back. Love your vids!
    Pro tip, next time your in Indy try the White River State Campground…yes it’s a little North of the fairgrounds but it also doesn’t have barbed wire around the campground. That area is not the safest at night.

    • @MidlifeDetour
      @MidlifeDetour  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! Thanks for the advice too! We’ve been to the fairgrounds 3 times and haven’t had issue but we can understand what you are saying! We will definitely look into the campground you suggested! Appreciate that! 😎👍

    Hope all the repairs are done and over with. Have you considered establishing South Dakota as you state of legal domicile? No need to worry about emissions testing, no state income tax, and low sales tax. It's very RV friendly.

    • @MidlifeDetour
      @MidlifeDetour  ปีที่แล้ว

      We have considered it and have it on the radar for the future. We met a few folks during our stay that were there for that reason.
      As a side note - we raced back to Idaho for that emissions test and when we arrived we found that emissions testing was no longer required the day after ours was due. The office didnt mention that when we asked for our extensions. We couldnt have slowed our roll back to our home state. 😬

    I'm new to you guys but I'm LOVIN' your channel! One question tho...how do you decide on a whim that you are going to boondock? Don't you need to have water in your fresh tank and empty black/gray tanks? or do you "always" have enough fresh water to boondock should the need arise? Thanx!

  • @pattinewman5186
    @pattinewman5186 ปีที่แล้ว

    I just started watching your channel, and I love it . But, I have a question...was your rig under warranty, or did you have to pay everything out of pocket ? Problems like this is why we haven't gone full-time. How hard is it to find reputable companies to fix issues?

    • @MidlifeDetour
      @MidlifeDetour  ปีที่แล้ว

      So glad you found us 😊 ALL of our repairs were/ are under warranty and all were on our list during the first year, thankfully! I would say it has been difficult to get he amount of our issues fixed..we have been to multiple service centers and multiple attempts. We still have outstanding issues from that original first year. Our rig is definitely an outlier…unfortunately. We know several people who have rvs that are not in the same predicament as we are.
