1. Keep two weeks of cash on hand. 2. Go to a BoA branch, you should be able to withdraw as much as you want. 3. Open a 2nd account at a different bank, with a card for that account. Then when BoA shuts you down, you can use your 2nd card. 4. Replace BoA, they do not meet your needs.
I kept my BofA account open, and added a local credit union (Twinstar) here in Washington. I can transfer funds between them easily. Twinstar also reimburses you for all out of network ATM fees! 👍
@@95TurboSolI would never trust just one bank these days. I bank at three separate institutions, with credit or debit and checking or savings accounts at each one.
Everyone's problems are different if your life is a little tougher it's easy to look in an think is this guy for real? Lol but that's one of the reasons why I watch him I'm glad there's people out there with some small problems and the means to live differently than others. the rest of us are constantly grinding pissed off all the time.
You have complained numerous times about BoA, so why haven't you switched? There are so many options available to people for banking. There are credit unions, online only banks, banks through auto insurance etc. So there should be no excuse for not being able to find another financial institution.
@@TMJB-ne9en That’s a pretty cynical view. I think there is something we are not aware of that is keeping him there. Anyone else would have changed banks or at least had a backup bank as I do.
I travel for a living as a Pilot. I had BOFA for years and I was getting my card turned off every 3 months. I could not take it anymore and changed to a different more regional bank here in the south and have no issues since.
I had a similar experience on a purchase with $150.00 groceries. I was so livid that after calling the bank and telling off the banker on the phone about the inconvenience they've caused me. I filed a complaint against my bank with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) & the BBB
Erik, do you know there is a certified Cummins/Onan service Center up in Lake Havasu city. They did some work on my rig five years ago fixing circuit breakers and the AC and it is still going strong. One would think that your Cummins/Onan generator is still under warranty if it is new.
Things are moving right along on your project.....looks good! As to B.O.A. or any other BIG national bank.....ditch them!!! We have been with a local credit union for years, NOT even in the state that we live anymore, and with computer banking and ATM's and still traveling the US it has not been a problem.
I like it. Have been watching you for a long time. Had a interview with Kevin on my camper van here in Athens TN. I to love cats, that's one of the many things I like about your channel, keep up the good work always watching 👍👍👍
The new intro SUCKS because there's no Jax! Boo New Intro! Can't forget about the Jaxman he was a BIG part of your channel for so many years. Jax is the reason I started watching the channel and I also watch for Terra & Opie too :) Fix the bloody intro & add Jax. I was also a Bank of America customer when I lived in Seattle and I never had a problem with them whatsoever. They might just have a computer glitch going on and there IT department needs to be notified about said glitch if that's what it actually is.
Hiya Eric! I’m back after a year of being a busy mama. You popped in my head the other day and I was like hey, I wonder how Eric’s doing. I think some people in the comment section are pretty rude & ugly with their words. The intro is okay imo but I’m a person that doesn’t handle change well so if you’re happy! Then be happy. Also, I think it’s great to hear you vent & talk what’s on your mind. People forget it’s mostly just you and the kitties. So TH-cam is your way to say what you say. I’m all ears homie! I’ve followed your channel for 8years. I come & go with life as we all do but you’re not alone! Keep the peace & take care! 😊
Switch banks. I had Bank of America on the road, too. I quickly learned to go online and tell them when.we moved to a different state/location. It was a pain in the neck, but it worked. Mostly.
I totally get your frustration. This is why I have multiple bank accounts and credit cards. Having several checking accounts is always good because you have a fail safe backup for scenarios like this.
I don’t think that’s the type of “plain white envelope” they’re referring to. That envelope has a BoA logo on it. I believe it will come literally in a solid white envelope with only a return address, and say nothing about BoA. Hope it all works out…soon
Sorry to hear about your BoA experience. I use a credit union, and have since I was 14. A lot of the credit unions across the US now participate in shared branching where you can go to any credit union that participates. (since you travel this could be beneficial ) You would not be able to get a debit card from a shared branch location, however, you'd be able to withdraw funds from brick n mortar branch until you receive your new card. You should look into it, and like one viewer said don't keep all your eggs in one basket. The new intro isn't bad, and I'm glad you kept kitties mew in the end.
1. New intro is good, will miss old music, but bewnmusic is good 2. Have 2 bank accounts with different banks and 2 credit carda from different banks. Plus emergency cash on hand. I do this and i live in a house.
You've had issues with Bank of America for years, yet you continue to use them? Find a locally owned bank or credit union to use. It's 2024, every banking institution in the US has online banking, debit cards, and mobile banking options. Literally any convenience or service that BOA has, any local bank will offer. This one is on you. Grow up and take accountability for something already.
I like the new intro...wish it was maybe 15-20 sec. longer. You don't need to put Jax in the intro, we all have him in our heart. Just keep on moving forward like you're doing.
I had problems with Bank of America it had to be over 20 years ago, I stopped using them to say the least. Love the new intro on the whole, my opinion is that it zoomed past (start to finish) too quickly. Slow it down just a bit, it is not a NASCAR Race…. lol Great on the solar setup.
Wish you would have still kept Jax man in the intro, I know he’s gone but he was such a massive part of the growth and would have loved to seen it. (Maybe he’s there and I missed it)
it is time to move on and to represent the channel as it is now. you know eric will never forget Jax never. its ok for him no to be in the intro anymore its time to move on.
I have a question ! What is he running with 920 ah of batteries ? I live off grid , have 2 - 200 ah gel batteries so 200 ah usable. I can run a residential fridge , AC , washing machine , lights , tv , water pump , microwave ect.
So many negative people pointing out what they think you are doing wrong... I am so glad Eric doesn't care and he keeps entertaining us... Thanks Eric! 👍
NIce intro. I had a situation with my bank. I was in Florida and Hubby was home in KY. I used the card early one morning and then Hubby tried to use it a few hours later in KY. The Bank froze our account. He was able to use another card he carries. I called the Bank and they un-froze the card. I now let the Bank know when I will be traveling out of state. Works fine.
Eric I think the bank probably said a blank white envelope not with their name on it! It sucks they shut your card down but if I remember correctly when we’ve had to have a card reissued it does not have the credit card company or bank name on it so people don’t steal the envelope with your card in it!! Good luck!
My bank did the same. Sent a letter to say thw card was cancelled. Three days later the unmarked card envelope showed up. Banks are in trouble because the USD has been rejected world wide...we are no longer the financial leader. Protect your stock market....
After having a couple of painful banking experiences I will always have an account at an independent bank where I'm on a first name basis with at least one of the bankers. As it is now, I can have my banker on the phone within a couple of minutes no matter where I am in the world. Also, I will NEVER be dependent on just one bank. My experience is, it's not IF a bank will go lame, it's a question of WHEN they will go lame.
I understand your BA issues as I'm in a similar boat. I too lived by debit card as well. After the second time, I made sure that I had checks. I know it's old fashion, but they do still work. You may have to go to a bank to cash a check, but at least that should be closer.
Had these BOA problems several years ago and one representative said if you are traveling you can call before hand and let them know your route and they will make a note on your account and you will not have issues. It works and BOA have saved me from over 5K in erroneous charges without me having the account shut off.
We pulled all of our accounts from BOA moved to First Union, when Wells Fargo took over a few years later they pulled some of the same mess, we moved to the credit union Truliant, that we had as our alternate account throughout all the years for just our bills. Wonder when businesses will ever learn if you hidden fee us to death, and screw with us, we just move on.
We had the same banking experiences with many banks. We started doing business exclusively with credit unions (which are contractually 'not for profit, BTW), and we've had very few issues since that time. Best of luck. Love your videos. Keep up the good work.
If you ever want to be depressed all you have to do is watch this channel, like someone else said I come to watch what else he has to complain about. I doubt if bank of america will ever see your channel or care just change banks and move on.
Hey Eric I have to say right off I love the intro And Wayne is a Rock star for getting the solar done and the reroute on the batteries wow those are some great Batteries I love those I can't wait to see the person who has your old RV and what she's done
Love the new intro! Nice touch with the green font and background hue, I'm guessing to match the green lighting you love so much on all your rigs. Very cool! 👍👍
Eric you may want to add a Costco Citi card or a local bank's from you property in Solow. BofA actions are not surprising. The main thing have more than one option. Take care and be safe out there.
@@shibalover54 We were told that we needed to go to a BofA branch to close out our accounts. When we went we were told the we had to make an appointment with the branch manager, and that it would be at least an hour wait. Lots of BS. My wife eventually did it over the phone, but had to do lots of yelling and threats to call the Attorney General.
I’m sorry about the BoA hassle, but to be fair, that was not a plain white envelope. Replacement cards are never sent in envelopes that clearly have the bank’s name visible. Hope you get your new card soon. I prefer the non animated intro.
I will get use to the new beginning. You are much better looking than the animated you. If Bank Of America is in Arizona, just walk 🚶 in the bank and draw out what you need. They need to fix that?! ❤️😍❤️. Thanks for including us, it's always good to learn information. 🥰❤️ love to you and the kitties❤
Nice video. Just be careful with those Vitrar batteries being in an enclosed space under a seat. We had them in a very small room and they got very warm an started to off-gas. Had to put a fan in to circulate air...............Just sayin Eric.
I personally like the nature intros better but that's just me. That stinks that bank of America is doing what they are to you. This gives me a heads up when I move to not go with them!
1. Keep two weeks of cash on hand.
2. Go to a BoA branch, you should be able to withdraw as much as you want.
3. Open a 2nd account at a different bank, with a card for that account. Then when BoA shuts you down, you can use your 2nd card.
4. Replace BoA, they do not meet your needs.
Yes!
If you withdraw more then 10k they might make you schedule the withdrawal so they have cash on hand just depends on branch
I kept my BofA account open, and added a local credit union (Twinstar) here in Washington. I can transfer funds between them easily. Twinstar also reimburses you for all out of network ATM fees! 👍
Or just leave BOA like I did
@@95TurboSolI would never trust just one bank these days. I bank at three separate institutions, with credit or debit and checking or savings accounts at each one.
SWITCH BANKS ALREADY!
Do not switch to WELLS FARGO
I don't know if they're everywhere but I like Regions Bank.
@@JeepDogs I literally gave WELLS 5 chances. I'm done now
Go switch to a credit union routinely their cards are accepted everywhere
The nomadic lifestyle seems more difficult than life needs to be.
Yep his trying to do over the top stuff he needs to go back 6 years and be happy now
Everyone's problems are different if your life is a little tougher it's easy to look in an think is this guy for real?

Love the new intro! 4 little words about your bank...bank of the west! Now BMO... they are great!
You have complained numerous times about BoA, so why haven't you switched? There are so many options available to people for banking. There are credit unions, online only banks, banks through auto insurance etc. So there should be no excuse for not being able to find another financial institution.
If he changed banks, he would not be able to complain and make content
@@TMJB-ne9en Yep. Easier to spend 20 minutes complaining than the 10 minutes to go online and switch to a new bank.
@@TMJB-ne9en That’s a pretty cynical view. I think there is something we are not aware of that is keeping him there. Anyone else would have changed banks or at least had a backup bank as I do.
B of A likes to mess with people. They messed with me for 2yrs then I closed my account and went to a Credit Union. Screw banks. They suck!
I did the same, good for you!
Same!
Definitely Credit Unions are the way to go. I have had issues with BOA as well. Not as dramatic as your issue. Sux! Take care.
I totally agree!
Same thing we did
Purchase on a credit card with rewards points to avoid debt card issue. Just saying for a work around
This is a good lesson of why you should always have 2 banks accounts and Cash on hand for emergencies.
Correct....one would think that being on the road for all those years he would have learned the valuable lesson of "cash on hand for emergencies"
@@johnwilliams5995 : Exactly. I always have a stash of cash on hand. Just in case.
I travel for a living as a Pilot. I had BOFA for years and I was getting my card turned off every 3 months. I could not take it anymore and changed to a different more regional bank here in the south and have no issues since.
same same, I switched to a credit union love it never going back to a bank.

Why do you use only one bank? Get at least one account at another bank for emergency use.
Things are moving right along on your project.....looks good!
As to B.O.A. or any other BIG national bank.....ditch them!!! We have been with a local credit union for years, NOT even in the state that we live anymore, and with computer banking and ATM's and still traveling the US it has not been a problem.
Like the new intro, just missing the angel kitty ! It reminds me to never forget past loves😺
my first thought as well. Good intro, but without Jax included, it is just incomplete :(
I still love Jax best. Great remembering him.
The blind guy viewed the new intro and says it sucks ! ! !

Curious though, why haven't you added a second card when you've had this problem so many times?

I'm gonna miss the old intro but the new one looks badass!
WHERE'S JAX!! My dad was an accountant and he warned me about them. Take care.
I like the new intro music it has more energy to it .
I was advised to find a new bank after a relative attended a major banking convention last year. Hint hint oh, wells fargo aint any better off.
They all have their faults, but SWITCH banks. All the best. 😊
Please don’t forget Jacks in the intro. Important imho to take his spirit with you on your journey😊 .
I don't understand how they are still around when I have NEVER heard of one person who likes bank of America
WOW first would problems 🙄
⚠️GO OLD SCHOOL AND WRITE CHECKS. If you dont have a checkbook get one for emergency situations like this.
PS- love the new intro but still miss the old guitar intro from like 10 years ago 😆💕👍

So many channels blast you with loud music
Great Intro Eric - Bank of America ... walk away, just walk away. Corruption at its finest. Customer first ... ya right! :)
Eric, the new intro looks great, very professional.
You don't look like you in the new intro.
I like the intro. Jim and Teresa, we met camping by you on the 15th of January
Who's the guy in the intro, your cousin ?
Love the new intro! Nice touch with the green font and background hue, I'm guessing to match the green lighting you love so much on all your rigs. Very cool! 👍👍
Does not look like you.
Too thin 😂
Looks just fine
It’s a clone - the real Eric is Donald Trump.
Yeah, it's going to take some getting used to because it doesn't look anything like you. I like the music and the rest of it though.
I love it
Did you enjoy the 500 tonight? Your boy won.
Eric you may want to add a Costco Citi card or a local bank's from you property in Solow. BofA actions are not surprising. The main thing have more than one option. Take care and be safe out there.
Love the intro...don't love the outro. Missing "Angel Jax".
We had terrible experiences with BofA up to, and INCLUDING trying to close our accounts.
For no valid reason I would bet. They are 🤮
@@shibalover54 We were told that we needed to go to a BofA branch to close out our accounts. When we went we were told the we had to make an appointment with the branch manager, and that it would be at least an hour wait. Lots of BS.

Hi Eric! Why do you bank with BOA? I dumped them 10 yrs ago!
Love the new intro Eric. Switch to a credit union.
I’m sorry about the BoA hassle, but to be fair, that was not a plain white envelope. Replacement cards are never sent in envelopes that clearly have the bank’s name visible. Hope you get your new card soon. I prefer the non animated intro.
I wish Jax was still in it.
I love your new intro!! And... I had issues with B O A also! I changed my banking institutions and I am much happier.
It is awesome an love it see yah Eric and Tara an Opie hugs always ❤

Get a second bank. BOA will probably be "bankrupt" soon.
BOA is going broke. You should get an account at another bank. Here in Virginia, bunch of my friends are having trouble with them.
Not a thing wrong with BoA at all easy for you to just go to another bank and good luck with that.
This is exactly like WELLS FARGO. TERRIBLE BANKS
any intro that is SHORT is good Eric
You need to find a new bank. If they’ve already missed with you one time it’s time to tell them I don’t need you.
You should put those wires on the roof that go between the solar panels into plastic casings so they are protected. The sun beats down…..
I personally like the nature intros better but that's just me. That stinks that bank of America is doing what they are to you. This gives me a heads up when I move to not go with them!
I dropped Bank Of America over twenty years ago . Never been happier .
Love the intro! Solar is looking great on the roof! Pull out of Bank of America. I did years ago and never had another issue.
Love to new intro! I sure would dump the bank!
Liking the new animation! The music in the new intro is too low in the mix. (Same issue as the previous one) Be bold mate, turn it up!
What ever happened to the puppy?
