We are RV newbies from Florida. Hearing those mistakes makes us feel better since we know it’s not us. We are going to subscribe to your channel to follow your journey. We just started our own!!
Hey Melissa and Scott, thanks for checking in. Those were just the top 5 mistakes. There were 20 others we didn’t mention. Best of luck on your journey and we hope we cross paths with you soon!
You can't fool me, Cap'n Glen. I think we all know you know your way around a seaworthy vessel. Blessings to you and Trish and the girls on your upcoming ocean capers! Can't wait to follow along!
Hi guys. I've been watching alot of your videos back to back. I love you're story telling. It's so familiar almost like we're in the living room with you and were family. I have a 25 ft trailer but upgraded from a 6ft tent trailer. I had built that first trailer when I was 17. Now at 35, I have alot of camping experience under my belt and i still make such stupid mistakes sometimes. As long as you enjoy yourself that's all that matters. It's such a thrill to see the change from camping with my grandparents to camping with my tent trailer alone to now camping with my 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter and teaching them all about the outdoors. My daughter is just learning to talk but already knows where to blow on the fire to get it started. Anyways, point is thanks for these videos. They are really really relaxing and amazing stories...
Pat, it’s comments like yours that really thrill us. Thanks so much for writing. I think mistakes just come with the territory, don’t you? RVing and camping just seems to get increasingly more complicated as the technology and equipment gets more advanced. Personally, I can’t remember it all and stuff falls out of my brain. :-) Mistakes ensue. The main thing is to make memories, and I’m certain your two kids will never forget the times you’re investing in them, mistakes or not. And in the long run, mistakes are the basis for all the family laughter in the future. AmIright?
Taking notes! Cyndy & I are hoping to do this in a few years. I could see us making these mistakes. BTW doesn't a lot of Truck stops have places to dump Black tanks? I recall seeing them at some Love's. But not paying that close attention YET!
Steve, yes, many truck stops have them as well as other venues such as Bass Pro Shops, Cabela's, and other locations. The trick is to know ahead of time WHICH stops offer it. Also, most of them charge a nominal fee ($5 or $10) to use it. At the time, we had just left Crooked Creek so our first and best option was to turn around because we'd rather deal with the devil we knew rather than the one we didn't. There are phone apps you can use, such as Allstays, that tell you where all the dump stations are, along with other locations of interest, such as Cracker Barrels, Walmarts, Costcos, and Buc-ees, and places you can get fresh water and propane. But despite having all that information at your fingertips, sometimes in the heat of crisis your (and by "your", I mean "my") brain freezes up and you end up doing the harder thing rather than the easier thing. Welcome to "RVing for Boneheads". I promise you and the magnificent Cyndy will have a blast.
