Chad & Tara I love keeping up with your travels, sights and yes, frustrations. I like seeing the "real life" side of the RV life. I like seeing the chilly nights in the snow, the times when the tensions are high and all the "fails". Keep the great videos coming and be safe. You are making memories together. All the "fails" will just be laughter in the future when recalling the memories. Thank you for bringing us along on your travels.
We lived in Page for 11 years during the 80's and 90's. The lake was at full pool then and they had to open the spill gates to keep the water from going over the dam. Lone Rock Beach was a few feet from the parking lot. It all looked so very different. To me it truly is the most beautiful place in the country. Loved reliving it through you. Side story---my daughter and her new husband drove through the area on their honeymoon. She was only 10 when we moved. They drove to Lone Rock and got high centered almost immediately. I was trying to warn her when we lost the phone signal. That sand can be wicked!!
We just watched this video and it was the most entertaining video! We are sorry that so many things went wrong but was so impressed how you all handled the issues. Love watching you guys.
You two have the best attitudes when it comes to bad situations. Unless it’s Tara’s creative editing! But I guess it could be worse. You could be where you were a few years ago. You know, no travel, no seeing our beautiful country, no spending time together, no new friends to make fun of when they sink in their canoe and lose expensive equipment. You better hang on to them. They actually waited for you to bathe Lucille before y’all left. That’s dedication. Chad, what other Navy buddy are you gonna see shove his betrothed through a small window, with her permission!? So glad I got to see that again! Thanks for including it, Tara. Next time, your turn! 😜 Another good time trip. Thanks guys. Troy
The most likely reason no anchor was provided is that the depth of lake Powell is up to 560’ with average depth around 130’ so with a standard payout of 7:1 the amount of rode/line they would have to provide on average would be over 700’ which isn’t going to happen and the other thing that isn’t going to happen is you pulling up 700’ of rode and anchor.
You guys sure turned a big series of fails into a very highly entertaining video! Glad you can take it all in stride and still enjoy the lifestyle you have made for yourselves. Can't wait to see the next one. Stay safe out there.
OK - you guys are great fun to watch. Very encouraging to us as soon to be full timers. I have learned and enjoyed much from your videos. Thank you for your energy and efforts
An awesome video. Things can be very frustrating in the moment but when one looks back the experiences come through and the smiles break out. Keep up the great work! Hope to see you sometime on the road.
Last time we were at Lake Powell was in 1986-87…that was so long ago..we were stationed at Hill AFB. We really enjoyed Utah and camping in our 18’ trailer…good times boating on Lake Powell and we brought food and a stove and cooked on a beach. Thanks for another excellent video! Be safe.
Awe man!!! I grew up camping at Lone Rock beach. We would do 2 weeks of dry camping on the waters edge. My fondest memories are summers spent there. Our group would be anywhere from 10-15 rigs in a big horse shoe. And almost everyday around 3 the wind would roll through and it was a mad dash to put the awnings in and the tent shades down. It’s such a shame you keep missing out on being able to camp there successfully.
I just caught this video! I vacationed at lone rock every year as kid growing up. Actually learned how to water-ski in one of those big coves. My mom would get in the water with us and my dad would pull me away on the ski leaving my mom behind. The Cove was large enough that she was safe. Such good memories. I just was at antelope marina this past June as I kayak and then hiked to Antelope Canyon. Just beautiful.
Awesomely entertaining video! Phil's kayak experience reminds me of the time when my wife and I got into our friend's inflatable kayak and paddled some in the Wenatchee River. I'm a big guy, and suffice to say, we turned the kayak into a submarine to the laughter of our friends on shore.
nice water video scenery, It feels like you're right in the water with everybody. Love it! Looks like that lake is evaporating rapidly by the salt stains on the rock formations.
Stayed at Wahweap campground a few years ago. We have friends who live in Page and work at Glen Canyon dam. Had a great visit. Your video brought back great memories.
Now I don't feel so bad having an inverter subpanel. Inverter supplies only 1 AC while generator powers the other two. I'm sure you will find the issue and correct it. Right now focusing on Lippert strengthening our frame in way of the forward jacks next Monday. Hoping for the best.
We stayed at the Antelope Point Marina rv park for ten days August 2020. No restrooms or laundry facilities yet, but we were told they're coming. They do offer cart rides back and forth from the park to the marina itself, which is very nice. We've been camping at Wahweap for years and have had far more bad service than good in that bar/restaurant. The newer one down on the dock is much better.
So we had no plans of stopping here but drove by and remembered your video about staying here. Love the stop but wanted to send you a recent picture because it looks very different.
Butyl tape is good to keep on hand. Fyi, keep it in fridge for an hour or 2 before using. Our RV didnt come with a track for one of our toppers. The screws suck the butyl tape in to the holes. Cheers
Lmao oh dear … Nancy did that window like a champ 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤣 U both have great energy great attitudes even after all that craziness went down . Thanks for sharing ur journey 💫 Great video 👍🏽👍🏽
With the slide toppers, how about putting something heavy on the edges of them to keep them from flapping. I figure a sand bag, partially filled to no put too much weight on them but just to keep them from flapping in the wind. A couple 8inch round sized rocks? Hell, painters tape from one side up and over to the other? Just keeping from doing what it did... Just a thought..
If you have a wood screw that is stripped out, take some toothpicks and stuff then in the hole and break the as close to flush then put the screw back in. Adding wood glue helps too or as you did add some silicone. Works every time
Thanks for the video! BTW that rust on the screws attaching your slide topper would indicate water intrusion in that area. This is probably the primary reason the screws pulled out.
I think it should be emphasized, once again: the AIR FORCE GUY helped y'all out. Probably should've just asked one of us first. 😂😂😂 Good stuff, gang; always enjoy your vids. (GO AIR FORCE!)
THANK YOU for the info on the military pass (America the Beautiful). Just signed up for it and looking forward to using it. Trip planned for Oct 2023 (Crater Lake and Grand Tetons) 5000+miles. Also got RV trip wizard. Thanks for what you two are doing!! Gunny B USMC Retired
Thanks for your videos, My wife and I are doing our first RV trip to the Grand Canyon, Utah, Wyoming, Montana in May, and really liked your videos and took your advise..You guys are great...
use a climbing anchor ( rather expensive) it wedges between a rock crevice to secure the rope in case of falling. climbers use then to support their tents hanging off the side when they sleep.
The plugs in the bottom of a kayak are called scupper plugs and you are supposed to take a few out when in rapids or choppy water, this helps drain the water that gets inside the cockpit. It also looks like Phil and Stacy were at weight capacity for the kayak. I bet the kayak was rated for 375 to 400lbs max. They needed a longer and a little wider kayak.
Tubing is eadier going fast. You want the tube on top of the water. Going slow, water comes in the middle and up over the front. It is really difficult as the tube gets pulled partially under the water.
Glad a fellow Air Force vet could assist ya'll. Also, next time you are in need of a tow in that part of Utah, please hit up a fellow TH-camr "Matt's Offroad Recovery". They are based out of Hurricane if I remember correctly.
Glen Canyon reservoir is a great place to kayak camp. I did a 3 day kayak camping trip there. Warning - it can get extremely windy there. Warning #2 - the available camping spots change as the water level goes up and down. But overall, fantastic play to kayak.
We just stayed at antelope point RV park and it is so nice now. Full hookups and full astroturfing throughout. Restaurant service at Lake Powell can be rough to say the least.
I’ve wanted to ask, how did you know to go left as you went into Lone Rock. As I’m sure you have figured out, if you went right at the split we’d still be digging you out.
I'm sorry but i am crying I am laughing so hard and I already saw Phil and Stacy's video 🤣🤣🤣 It just keeps getting better ,but what a great memory !!! Safe Travels guys 💙
To fun! Sorry you all had a rough go of it. Jodie and I decided we would love to visit that area but maybe in the fall when it's not 100⁰ plus🤪. Some beautiful views though.
Here's a question we've wondered about since we first learned people were full-timing so much (we're merely campers, and have now have a fiver that we're waiting to pick up): Do you have a long-term plan? Are you planning to keep on living in your RV until one or both of you need outside care (or can't physically manage it anymore), and if so, then what? We've been looking online for articles about this for several years now and haven't seen anyone discuss it. Planning where we are going to live for our 'seriously senior' days (we're 66 and 70 now) was very important for us, so we have that all laid out, and then we'll keep RVing until we can't anymore. We see RV parks all over the place, but not all of them are near major hospitals or medical facilities, so not ideal retirement options for us. So we're just curious if you guys have plans or plan to make plans? And thanks so much for all your amazing videos--the work does show in the product. Plus, you guys do such a great job of keeping it natural and straightforward; you both have great (and very positive) attitudes for being so public with everything--please keep it up! I can imagine it gets exhausting, so when you just can't do anything we'll understand, but you have an audience that loves you and looks forward to seeing more! ❤️
This video is the reason I'm doing the full-time. With my bike also! I'm also retired military, but I have one question "have you ever used or thought about the Gooseneck attachment"?
It’s those fails that makes the memory of the adventures sweet.
Broken slide topper, lost camera equipment, scorching hot temps, Jeep troubles, no anchor………..good thing you had cold beer !…. Love you guys 😁
I love the four of you together. Such fun!
Chad & Tara I love keeping up with your travels, sights and yes, frustrations. I like seeing the "real life" side of the RV life.

It’s nice to see friends having a great time. Even if the one kayak starts sinking. Thanks for the entertainment
Love Changing Lanes and always happy to see a new video up! Love yall 3000!
Our two fav RVers. Love love love this. Was so cool to meet Chad in Elkhart!
Nice meeting you also! 👍🏼 😊
It's always nice to have a good laugh at the expense of good friends
Thank you for your service to Our Country Chad! And to Tara putting up with you - Lovingly!!

Chad & Tara, you guys rock! Thank you for yet another awesome, beautiful, great video!!
Godspeed y’all
Love watching you guys! The wife and I have been educating ourselves and decided to take the leap to full-time RV life! We leave in January!
You guys sure turned a big series of fails into a very highly entertaining video! Glad you can take it all in stride and still enjoy the lifestyle you have made for yourselves. Can't wait to see the next one. Stay safe out there.
Well said. We don’t have control of the fails but we do have control over our response. Theirs was great.
OK - you guys are great fun to watch. Very encouraging to us as soon to be full timers. I have learned and enjoyed much from your videos. Thank you for your energy and efforts
An awesome video. Things can be very frustrating in the moment but when one looks back the experiences come through and the smiles break out. Keep up the great work! Hope to see you sometime on the road.
Great job your video just completes Stacy and Phil's adventure thank you for the extra footage hilarious
Great video. Poor Phil. Last part Phil in front was better. With all the fails still good times. You guys rock.
Love the video. Especially the Mountain Dew Shirt!! :-D If we ever cross paths, the first round of Dew is one me.
Last time we were at Lake Powell was in 1986-87…that was so long ago..we were stationed at Hill AFB. We really enjoyed Utah and camping in our 18’ trailer…good times boating on Lake Powell and we brought food and a stove and cooked on a beach. Thanks for another excellent video! Be safe.
Hill AFB? Nice. I have worked with that base in my career.
Hi 👋 Mary, how are you doing ?
The kayak slips at @24:30 are really cool. First time I've ever seen them.
RV door key thats why I have a combo-lock-box hidden. 😀😀😀 👍👍👍 Love your travel video's
I would have needed a drink or two after all that.😂 hats off to you for not blowing up and losing it.
Lol.. what a fantastic experience with friends... stories to remember when.. you all are top notch 🙂
Hi 👋 Crystal, how are you doing?
Oh man, what an adventure. I am so glad I have to rv lock that if I leave my remote I can still enter a number code to open the door
Love you four hanging out.
You guys are definitely funny when together.
We enjoyed this one a lot.
The four just have to much fun !!!😄😄😂😂😊😊😊😊
Hi 👋 Donna, how are you doing?

Good thing the Air Force was there to rescue you big ole' sailors! Too funny, great video guys.

Good vid, looks like fun despite the fails...I like the way Chad gets on repairs pronto...
My goodness the mishaps. Makes for funny memories. Lol. I like your kayak!! Looks like a fun and comfortable ride. Safe travels!!
Wow. Thanks for posting this. I thoroughly enjoyed and learned so much from this video. I look forward to watching more of your videos!
nice water video scenery, It feels like you're right in the water with everybody. Love it! Looks like that lake is evaporating rapidly by the salt stains on the rock formations.

We were in Page and the Horseshoe Bend the end of April. Absolutely beautiful
Very cool, thanks for sharing.
Lucky! At least you can still haul around. Rig is now in winter hibernation for me until spring. Stay safe!

Hello from Blue Ridge ga guys .... Our RV been park for 8 wks and we now have 3 trips planned in next 2 wks.
I'm sooo sorry I laughed on the kayaking part... 😂😂😂
But it was so funny
Hi 👋 Debbie, how are you doing?
Great video! I really enjoyed taking the ride with all the fun fails from the safety of my motorhome! LOL! 😁
You did it!! "Dam strait!"
Butyl tape is good to keep on hand. Fyi, keep it in fridge for an hour or 2 before using. Our RV didnt come with a track for one of our toppers. The screws suck the butyl tape in to the holes. Cheers
Lmao oh dear … Nancy did that window like a champ 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤣

Matt's Off Road Recovery is in Hurrican and you ever get stick make a call. Wynder Towing. Awesome group of people that know how to tow
Wow its so beautiful there.
Your video made my day God bless you and your family
Fun adventure! Love what you do!
LOVE Your travels. Made me cry as I lost my husband in 2020. We have our Beautiful Momentum landlocked in MO.I miss the Road...Travel on for us.
We are sorry to hear of your husbands loss.
Hillarious episode. Even thou I had already watched some of these on their channel, still funny to watch again...
If you have a wood screw that is stripped out, take some toothpicks and stuff then in the hole and break the as close to flush then put the screw back in. Adding wood glue helps too or as you did add some silicone. Works every time
Thanks for the video! BTW that rust on the screws attaching your slide topper would indicate water intrusion in that area. This is probably the primary reason the screws pulled out.
Looks like a great time !! Friends make things better!!
What a great video. Love to see two TH-camrs do a joint video. Lots try this but you mostly only see the host channel peps. Great job!
It's usually the situations you get into that give the most memories! Love your channel and the opportunity to meet with you at Balloon Fiesta.
I think it should be emphasized, once again: the AIR FORCE GUY helped y'all out. Probably should've just asked one of us first. 😂😂😂 Good stuff, gang; always enjoy your vids. (GO AIR FORCE!)
Aim High.
Go Air Force!
Airrrrr POWERRRRR!

OMG! I am dying with laughter here of watching stacy disappear in the window!!
Cool video guys, love watching.
Thanks for your videos, My wife and I are doing our first RV trip to the Grand Canyon, Utah, Wyoming, Montana in May, and really liked your videos and took your advise..You guys are great...
HAHAHAHA. that is fun Fail though. It’s pretty cool that you can sit back and laugh at it now.
Fun video, thanks for sharing...
use a climbing anchor ( rather expensive) it wedges between a rock crevice to secure the rope in case of falling. climbers use then to support their tents hanging off the side when they sleep.
Edward Abbey would love that new campground.
Hurricane,Utah ,I watch Matt's Of Road Recovery channel,the landscape,scenery is amazing.
If you get stuck in Utah , Matt's the one to call 🙂
We really hope to meet you someday down the road - Just not anywhere near water. - lol
Your videos allways puts a big smile on my face 🙂, thank you 👍💯

Hey Chad, did that new kayak only come with one paddle? Sorry Tara, just yanking your chain again!! Lol
😊🤩 great video ❤️
Glen Canyon reservoir is a great place to kayak camp. I did a 3 day kayak camping trip there. Warning - it can get extremely windy there. Warning #2 - the available camping spots change as the water level goes up and down. But overall, fantastic play to kayak.
This was funny watching the whole Kayak experience.
Next time try kayaking Horseshoe Bend. Its a great trip that starts at Lees Ferry. WE love your videos and adventures.
Great video. And as other said.. fails means great memories.
We just stayed at antelope point RV park and it is so nice now. Full hookups and full astroturfing throughout. Restaurant service at Lake Powell can be rough to say the least.
Love watching you guys.
Sometimes Vacations become Adventures. Adventures are the ones you remember.
I’ve wanted to ask, how did you know to go left as you went into Lone Rock. As I’m sure you have figured out, if you went right at the split we’d still be digging you out.
This is one Dam great video 👍🏼♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Oh God! Lol glad you guys could make the best of the adventures. :)
wow cool I watch their travel logs too!
that was fun!
I'm sorry but i am crying I am laughing so hard and I already saw Phil and Stacy's video 🤣🤣🤣 It just keeps getting better ,but what a great memory !!! Safe Travels guys 💙
