NC welcomes You, Todd and Ziggy Now you are in my stomping ground. Born in Florida but LOVE NC. I hope you had a great experience. Keep posting your videos.
Hi Glamping Guys. Love your vids and watching Ziggy. My husband and I have 4 dachsunds. Love that you call him your child, because thats how we feel as well. We are going to Mama Gerties next week on the 30th! Our first time, and hate that we missed youns here in the mountains. We live in Hendersonville. So glad to see youns traveled in this area and went thru the arts district and toured the Biltmore (love that house)..... maybe we'll see ya next time....take care. Luvs
We've had Ziggy since he was 7 months old. He is definitely our little fur baby child. We love him so much. You're going to have so much fun at Mama Gertie's. We stayed at the very top, scary drive for sure, but the views were worth it. It's such a well maintained place and close to everything. Have fun and safe travels. Peace & Love! Have a Glamperrific Day! 👍😀🌈🤪🌈😎🌈😍
You guys are RV pros now .... great video and wow that climb to the top of Mama Gertie's is a nail biter for sure. You are in my neck of the woods - I raised all three of my kids in Asheville and in fact my one son lives in Swannanoa and my other son lives in South Asheville. Enjoy your time there - beautiful place and lots of great places to visit.
LOL! Thanks Patrick! We appreciate the words of RV Pro encouragement. That's really cool that we were in your neck of the woods. Such a beautiful area. We really enjoyed our stay. So many things to see and do, not to mention the beautiful views everywhere you look. I love how there are all of these cute little towns just sprinkled throughout the mountains. Black Mountain was one of them. We had the pleasure of experiencing the famous Dairy King. I bet you have many found memories of living there. We can't wait to go back. Mama Gertie's is at the Mountain "top" of our list. Peace! 👍😀🌈🌈
Mama Gertie's won't disappoint! Their mountain top premium sites go fast, so book early. Best campground we've visited so far. We will be going back for a much longer stay sometime in the future. Peace! 👍😀🌈🌈
Hi G. Guys. I read your comments to Carolyn when she did a live Q. & A. It sound like you got some hateful comments & threats, so I figure I will subscribe & leave a toms-up & comment with every video. I am no stranger to NC. You found a thoroughly enchanting perch up there at Gertie's Place. I love, purely love Ziggy.
Thank you. We appreciate you finding us. Thanks also for the lovely comment. Mama Gertie's was so enchanting indeed. We plan to go back in a few years for a much longer stay. Have a Glamperrific Day! 👍😀🌈🤪🌈😎🌈😍
You guys are aawwwwesome! I was just fiddling about on youtube and found you. I'm thinking about one day going to live in my van, but that may never happen - my girlfriend's not quite as excited about the idea as I am. Haha. My youtube channel is all about me, trying to get healthier, slimmer, and fitter. Some of it's funny, some just inspirational stuff. Anyway ... it's not about travelling and being a cool cat in an RV, like you!
Yay! So glad you found us. We wish you the best in your future travels. My husband was less excited than I was as well, but I trained him slowly (LOL) by going on small camping trips, then getting Wally the Winnebago. After that he fell in love with the whole lifestyle so we downsized and now here we are. Thanks so much for watching and subbing. We do appreciate it. Peace & Happy Holidays! 👍❤️🎅🎄🎁🌈🌈
I love the mysterious drive in through the fog, and your driving skills are way better than mine especially with a 5th wheel in the mountains zig zagging up to park. I still don't understand why your channel doesn't have millions of followers yet (Because you will some day) especially when the videos are so well done. I look forward to watching more of your journey.
Thanks Jason for the kind words. We so appreciate the thoughtful comment. We loved driving that day through the mountains. It was so cool with the rain, mist, and fog. Very surreal and beautiful. Peace! 👍😀🌈🌈
Thanks! We're actually going to go back to the area Fall 2020. We're going to go a little later in Oct. this time so we can see more of the Fall foliage. Thanks for watching! Have a Glamperrific Day! 👍❤️🌈😀🌈
Great video! I know what you mean about escaping from the FL heat. Love our weather now but summer was long! I’m sure Ziggy enjoyed the weather as well! You handled that big rig well!
Thank you! After a few days on the road, I was feeling much more confident driving our RV. Yes the summer was very looooong this year. It was a nice escape from the FL heat. Ziggy loved it. Peace! 👍😀🌈🌈
OMG I know all about the fear of being a Florida boy mountain driving! Wait til y'all hit the Rockies! That's so crazy about the dog without a tail story. We first heard it from an angel named Sunshine in the mountains of New Mexico just a month or so ago. So glad you guys are finally able to enjoy the road life! ✌🏻🧔🏻
You made me sooo homesick! I lived in Boone, actually on old Beech Mountain and Heavenly Mountain. It was magnificent! I hope t and dream of going back there someday in my converted shuttle bus!
We love Asheville! My niece lives there ~ there are so many beautiful places in that area. Awesome view you had and I still get shocked at how big your RV is... did you see that Rpod to the right of the bathrooms? Wish it was us... could have had cocktails with you. ;)
Thanks, we really enjoyed our visit there. The mountain views were simply breathtaking. Next time, we plan on staying much longer. Only only regret on this "shakedown" trip was we wish we had more time. Can't wait to be doing this 24/7. One day we will hopefully meet on the road and have that drinks. Until then, safe travels. Peace! 👍😀🌈🌈
We're headed there soon! For the premium sites up top, do you remember how far in advance you needed to book? Seems everything up there books out FAR in advance!
Great vlog guys . Love your FORD truck & your gorgeous Grand Design 5TH wheel RV . Have you done a walk through video yet of your new home on the road ?
Thanks! We actually have two videos. Here are the links. Feel free to watch our "Best of" and "Start Here" Playlists as well. We appreciate the the lovely comment. Peace, Love, & Happy Holidays! 👍❤️🎅🎄🌈🌈 th-cam.com/video/vh675yJrr44/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/HLK7cW32Q1I/w-d-xo.html
Hey Guys! Myself, my wife and our young daughter just booked at Mama Gertie's to hit on our way back to NJ from Blue Water Key in Key West. Was a hoot to come across your channel. Guess it was fate b/c we always wonder whether certain places are going to be "family" friendly. Kudos to the driving skills! Keep the videos coming! Definitely subscribing. And say hi to Ziggy!
You'll love Mama's. I'd have to say out of all the places we've been so far, it was our favorite. Can't beat the mountain views. You'll have to reach out and let us know how you liked it. Thanks so much for subbing. Ziggy says hello! woof, woof! Have a Glamtastical Magical Day! 😀🌈😀🌈😀
Loved this! We were on the Blue Ridge Parkway last year and had seriously considered Mama Gerties as I was planning the trip but I can’t remember why we ended up spending a week about 40 miles east of there Bear Den Family Campground. I suspect I chose it because Gerties was all booked up. I would recommend Bear Den for it’s “state park” atmosphere. Lots of shade reasonable space between sites. But as it turned out the distance from Asheville which we had planned to explore more was more than we wanted to drive so we just explored what was closer. Plenty to see over there Grandfather Mtn., Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, and Boone. Love the whole area up there a progressive pocket of a conservative state. Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill are also very nice.
Thanks! We'll definitely look up your suggestion when/if we get back to that area for sure. Such a wonderful area to explore. So many great things to do and see. Have a Glamtastic Day! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Peace & Love! 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Very nicely done guys! Well edited and you brought me along for the trip! Glad you got a pull thru for easy placement of the RV! You know guys, I just realized we are doing the same thing just with exact opposite ways: I am on the west coast (Oregon); you are on the east coast. I am in a small RV; you are in a BIG one. I am Canadian; you guys are American. I am straight; you are not. (not that this actually is a big deal to either of us! lol); You have the small cute Ziggy; I have the big alpha female (Sammie)!. You make longer videos; I make shorter ones! You guys actually catching the trend here: we are the exact balancing points here on TH-cam! You guys rock. Hope you enjoyed your stay and keep posting these wonderful videos. I just looked at your analytics and you guys need to be appreciated by more people. My crappy channel gets seen by 2 to 3 million views a year, and I am not that popular, BUT you guys have the magic to do something wonderful and much more than I might be able to ever do. So, I will do a tasteful shout out to you guys soon from the west coast to help y'all with that. It's the least I could do. You do good work here on TH-cam. Hope to meet you guys on the road one day. Stay safe, and as I always say, "Keep your wheels on the ground!".
FOR ANY OF YOU READING THIS COMMENT, SUBSCRIBE TO HIS CHANNEL PLEASE! Thank you, thank you Linescrew! A shout out would mean the world to us. You were one of the very first channels that we subscribed too. We were so honored that only after posting a few videos on our channel that you subbed to us. It's been a pleasure this past year getting to know you through your channel. You're one of the (if not the only one) most genuine and honest channels out there. All your videos are informative and entertaining. We hope to meet you and Sammie out on the road one day. Wheels to the ground! Thanks again for the words of encouragement. We really do appreciate it and of course YOU! Peace! 👍😀🌈🌈
Thanks, since this is our "shakedown" road trip, we wanted to experience all terrains for our fifth wheel. It was very scary, but we did call ahead first just to make sure that the grade up to the top wasn't going to be to steep. There were RV's even bigger that ours. To say the least we were impressed at how those made it to the top. LOL! Peace! 👍😀🌈🌈
@@TheGlampingGuys Smart to call ahead. I actually took a trip without my camper on the roads I would be traveling before I took my first long trip. I know what you mean about those really big rigs. Those folks must have no fear.
Wow, automatic downshifting. Nice feature. I live in a mountainous area and shifting to second has become second nature. While you're moon-gazing, check out the stars. Here, there is almost no light pollution so they are bright and clear. Jon in rural BC, Canada
The stars--and sunsets, and pretty much everything up in the sky--looked incredible while we were staying at Mama Gertie's!! We loved it...Thanks! Peace! 👍😀🌈🌈
nice scenery and great views, we will be there this coming week, do you which site number you guys were? i am staying at site 29 thanks for the video...
Thanks! Great place for sure. You're gonna love the views. We stayed at the very top. Don't remember the site number, but they were all good. Have fun! Have a Glamtastic Day! Peace & Love! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🌈🌈
I commend you guys for having the right safe towing truck to rig!! My partner is from NC and she wants me to take our CClass with tow up mountain road! Yikes!! Beautiful RV , love the pull through!! I heard tow haul always saves the transmission too but burns up gas...but better to save life of vehicle. Thanks for share. Just sub! 🌈🌈🌈🌈❤️
Thanks! When we were looking for trucks, we wanted to get something that would be future proof. We knew at the time, that once we got use to driving a fifth wheel, that we would probably upgrade to a bigger one eventually. Our truck can tow up to 32,000 pounds so I think we're covered. LOL! You and your partner would love Mama Gertie's. We saw a lot of Class C's there. We're so glad you enjoyed our video and we appreciate you subbing! Peace & Happy Holidays! 👍❤️🎅🎄🎁🌈🌈
Hi guys , Looking forward to seeing your adventures at this place . Two questions , does a Todd drive the rig and how much does Ziggy weigh .? Have fun guys !
Visited my old stomping grounds; wish I would have known so I could have given you some ideas of places to not miss. So many TH-camrs stay/review Mama Gertie's that they should probably start giving discounts to creators or something; lol
Thanks for answering !Ziggy is soooo cute , he looks smaller . Mine are 12 lbs and 5 lbs . Sorry I speeded Tods name wrong , my sons has two ts . Pretty campground !
I hope one day my wife Lisa and I can meet up with you guys and Ziggy too. We’re Central Floridians (Winter Springs) and my amazing sleuth like brain has gathered that you two are Central Floridians as well. OK not so amazing in the brain area but I love your channel and you seem to gravitate to the same amenities and camping environment that we do. Once this whole pandemic has passed maybe that could happen that we could meet up maybe Rvillage if you’re going to do that again.
Thanks! We actually had our sticks and bricks near UCF. You are correct that we are from Florida. You have great detective skills. LOL! Thanks for the lovely comment and for watching. We definitely hope to attend RVillage again in the future. We're still waiting on the dates for 2021 to be released. I'm guessing everything is on hold for the moment for obvious reasons. Stay Safe! Have a Glamtastic Day! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Peace & Love! 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Thanks! We averaged about 30 minutes if we pre-prepped camp the evening before. We actually stayed hitched at two overnight locations. The more we practiced the quicker we got. Have a great day! Peace! 👍😀🌈🌈
Glad you enjoyed the video. TH-cam is a "free" service because of the commercials. Also when you watch the commercials that TH-cam decides to put in our videos, a small portion goes back to us so that we may continue to make content for all of you. So when you watch our content and the commercials, you're helping us out in a very small way. We do appreciate it and of course you watching. Have a great day! Peace! 👍😀🌈🌈
@@TheGlampingGuys Please understand that this is in no way a criticism to you because I have enjoyed watching your journey and all the videos you have posted thus far. The same exact political advertisement was played three times during this one video and it was the seventh time I watched it between your video and two others from another two fellow nomads in less than 30 minutes. As a fellow nomad I come to watch everyone's videos because it takes me away from all the non-sense going around in the world today. I no longer watch much television at all because of all the consumerism, and the one place I could avoid that was here. It is obviously no longer the case and I noticed that we are no longer able to skip them like before. Love Ziggy's spunk btw..
LOL! No worries, we didn't feel that way at all. I was just explaining how TH-cam works. We completely agree with you. So much nonsense in the world. We love watching TH-cam as well and have noticed many of the same ads playing on all the channels we also watch. Yes it gets old very quickly. We just ignore the ads, let them play, (to help our TH-cam friends make a little money) then continue with the content. We look at it this way, if this was normal TV, you'd be watching many more ads in a row at once. Most 30 minute TV shows are going to have 10-12 minutes of ads. TH-cam will always have ads but as of now no where as many as on TV. We also listen to Pandora and tolerate the 20 second ad every 4 songs compared to over the air radio where again you have to listen to at least 10 minutes of ads every 30 minutes. With the elections coming up on Tuesday, it makes sense that most of the ads are going to be political. We're over it as well, but it will pass soon. TH-cam picks the ads. I remember watching some Vegan TH-cam Channels last year, and most of the ads were for meat. LOL! Ironic I know, right? Have a great day and thanks for watching our channel. We do appreciate it and YOU! Peace! 👍😀🌈🌈
Mama Gerties is well known as being gay friendly here in NC. Meaning they don't judge, exclude or wave bibles at you. Gerties is my wife's and I's favorite campground, we were last there right after Labor day. We have a smaller RV and love the back-in sites along the brook (site 20 is our fav) Last visit we didn't even leave to explore the first two days we were content to enjoy the brook, a book, and a Beaujolais.
It is a beautiful area and friendly people, but you keep showing the dog going pee. Why? Blue Star Memorial Highways are highways in the United States that are marked to pay tribute to the U.S. armed forces. The National Council of State Garden Clubs, now known as National Garden Clubs, Inc., started the program in 1945 after World War II. The blue star was used on service flags to denote a service member fighting in the war. The program has since been expanded to include Memorial Markers[1] and Memorial By-ways (since 1994).[2] These markers are used in National Cemeteries, parks, veterans facilities, and gardens. Wikipedia. Don't pee on the marker.
Thanks so much for explaining the Blue Star Memorial. We appreciate learning about the history. The National Garden Club is doing a great service. Peace, Love, & Happy Holidays! 👍❤️🎅🎄🌈🌈

You made me sooo homesick! I lived in Boone, actually on old Beech Mountain and Heavenly Mountain. It was magnificent! I hope t and dream of going back there someday in my converted shuttle bus!
Very nice! How cool getting to live in a bus. We'd love to see some pictures! glampingguys@gmail.com
Beautiful! ✌🏼️💜😀
Beautiful place - the "moon" story was great. Have fun.
Thank you!

Girl you did a good job getting up that mountain proud of you keep up the good work. 🌈🎃🌈

Thanks, since this is our "shakedown" road trip, we wanted to experience all terrains for our fifth wheel. It was very scary, but we did call ahead first just to make sure that the grade up to the top wasn't going to be to steep. There were RV's even bigger that ours. To say the least we were impressed at how those made it to the top. LOL!
Peace!
👍😀🌈🌈
@@TheGlampingGuys Smart to call ahead. I actually took a trip without my camper on the roads I would be traveling before I took my first long trip. I know what you mean about those really big rigs. Those folks must have no fear.
Lovely spot!
Another great video guys. How about showing us you cooking a meal and setting up Severus at a new site?
Great suggestions! Thanks!
Peace!

Wow, automatic downshifting. Nice feature. I live in a mountainous area and shifting to second has become second nature. While you're moon-gazing, check out the stars. Here, there is almost no light pollution so they are bright and clear.

The stars--and sunsets, and pretty much everything up in the sky--looked incredible while we were staying at Mama Gertie's!! We loved it...Thanks!
Peace!
👍😀🌈🌈
nice scenery and great views, we will be there this coming week, do you which site number you guys were? i am staying at site 29
thanks for the video...
Thanks! Great place for sure. You're gonna love the views. We stayed at the very top. Don't remember the site number, but they were all good. Have fun!
Have a Glamtastic Day!
Peace & Love!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🌈🌈
@@TheGlampingGuys i do know is at top of the mountain and i believe i heard someone saying site 26, nevertheless looking forward to it.
I commend you guys for having the right safe towing truck to rig!! My partner is from NC and she wants me to take our CClass with tow up mountain road! Yikes!! Beautiful RV , love the pull through!! I heard tow haul always saves the transmission too but burns up gas...but better to save life of vehicle. Thanks for share. Just sub! 🌈🌈🌈🌈❤️
Thanks! When we were looking for trucks, we wanted to get something that would be future proof. We knew at the time, that once we got use to driving a fifth wheel, that we would probably upgrade to a bigger one eventually. Our truck can tow up to 32,000 pounds so I think we're covered. LOL! You and your partner would love Mama Gertie's. We saw a lot of Class C's there.
We're so glad you enjoyed our video and we appreciate you subbing!
Peace & Happy Holidays!

Hi guys , Looking forward to seeing your adventures at this place . Two questions , does a Todd drive the rig and how much does Ziggy weigh .? Have fun guys !
Hello! Ziggy weighs about 11 pounds, and Tod does NOT drive the rig. He's the navigator. Have a fab day!
Peace!
👍😀🌈🌈
Visited my old stomping grounds; wish I would have known so I could have given you some ideas of places to not miss. So many TH-camrs stay/review Mama Gertie's that they should probably start giving discounts to creators or something; lol
LOL! That would be nice. We will definitely be going back there. Can't beat the views.
Peace!
👍😀🌈🌈
Thanks for answering !Ziggy is soooo cute , he looks smaller . Mine are 12 lbs and 5 lbs . Sorry I speeded Tods name wrong , my sons has two ts . Pretty campground !
Thanks!
I hope one day my wife Lisa and I can meet up with you guys and Ziggy too. We’re Central Floridians (Winter Springs) and my amazing sleuth like brain has gathered that you two are Central Floridians as well. OK not so amazing in the brain area but I love your channel and you seem to gravitate to the same amenities and camping environment that we do. Once this whole pandemic has passed maybe that could happen that we could meet up maybe Rvillage if you’re going to do that again.
Thanks! We actually had our sticks and bricks near UCF. You are correct that we are from Florida. You have great detective skills. LOL! Thanks for the lovely comment and for watching. We definitely hope to attend RVillage again in the future. We're still waiting on the dates for 2021 to be released. I'm guessing everything is on hold for the moment for obvious reasons. Stay Safe!
Have a Glamtastic Day!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Peace & Love!

Welcome to God's Country! The BRP is wonderful
Thanks! Such a beautiful area.
Peace & Happy Holidays!

Also how long does it take to set up/take down camp with severous?
Thanks! We averaged about 30 minutes if we pre-prepped camp the evening before. We actually stayed hitched at two overnight locations. The more we practiced the quicker we got. Have a great day!
Peace!
👍😀🌈🌈
I love your videos. Aren't RV'ers so freindly, we are in a seasonal site in upstate New York. Ziggy is da bomb 🐕
Aww thanks!! And yes, RV'ers are the best!
Peace!
👍😀🌈🌈
Like the banjo music
Is it really that steep? I wanted to make a reservation, but now I'm afraid.
You'll be fine. You can always give them a call as well.
Have a Glamperrific Day!
👍❤️🌈😀🌈
Very nice video but the commercial interruptions are annoying as hell.
Glad you enjoyed the video. TH-cam is a "free" service because of the commercials. Also when you watch the commercials that TH-cam decides to put in our videos, a small portion goes back to us so that we may continue to make content for all of you. So when you watch our content and the commercials, you're helping us out in a very small way. We do appreciate it and of course you watching. Have a great day!
Peace!
👍😀🌈🌈
@@TheGlampingGuys Please understand that this is in no way a criticism to you because I have enjoyed watching your journey and all the videos you have posted thus far. The same exact political advertisement was played three times during this one video and it was the seventh time I watched it between your video and two others from another two fellow nomads in less than 30 minutes. As a fellow nomad I come to watch everyone's videos because it takes me away from all the non-sense going around in the world today. I no longer watch much television at all because of all the consumerism, and the one place I could avoid that was here. It is obviously no longer the case and I noticed that we are no longer able to skip them like before. Love Ziggy's spunk btw..
LOL! No worries, we didn't feel that way at all. I was just explaining how TH-cam works. We completely agree with you. So much nonsense in the world. We love watching TH-cam as well and have noticed many of the same ads playing on all the channels we also watch. Yes it gets old very quickly. We just ignore the ads, let them play, (to help our TH-cam friends make a little money) then continue with the content.
We look at it this way, if this was normal TV, you'd be watching many more ads in a row at once. Most 30 minute TV shows are going to have 10-12 minutes of ads. TH-cam will always have ads but as of now no where as many as on TV. We also listen to Pandora and tolerate the 20 second ad every 4 songs compared to over the air radio where again you have to listen to at least 10 minutes of ads every 30 minutes.
With the elections coming up on Tuesday, it makes sense that most of the ads are going to be political. We're over it as well, but it will pass soon. TH-cam picks the ads. I remember watching some Vegan TH-cam Channels last year, and most of the ads were for meat. LOL! Ironic I know, right?
Have a great day and thanks for watching our channel. We do appreciate it and YOU!
Peace!

Is this a gay campground ? Ziggy is so precious.
Thanks so much! It's a regular campground, and everyone was super nice.
Peace!
👍😀🌈🌈
Mama Gerties is well known as being gay friendly here in NC. Meaning they don't judge, exclude or wave bibles at you. Gerties is my wife's and I's favorite campground, we were last there right after Labor day. We have a smaller RV and love the back-in sites along the brook (site 20 is our fav) Last visit we didn't even leave to explore the first two days we were content to enjoy the brook, a book, and a Beaujolais.
Thanks Rick! We totally agree. Next time we head that way, we plan on staying much longer. We loved it.
Peace!

It is a beautiful area and friendly people, but you keep showing the dog going pee. Why?
Blue Star Memorial Highways are highways in the United States that are marked to pay tribute to the U.S. armed forces. The National Council of State Garden Clubs, now known as National Garden Clubs, Inc., started the program in 1945 after World War II. The blue star was used on service flags to denote a service member fighting in the war. The program has since been expanded to include Memorial Markers[1] and Memorial By-ways (since 1994).[2] These markers are used in National Cemeteries, parks, veterans facilities, and gardens.
Wikipedia. Don't pee on the marker.
Thanks so much for explaining the Blue Star Memorial. We appreciate learning about the history. The National Garden Club is doing a great service.
Peace, Love, & Happy Holidays!
