- We're snowbirding in Yuma, AZ for the winter and we enjoy visiting the local attractions. One of the events we've been waiting for is the Yuma Airshow hosted by the Yuma Marine Corps Air Station. We also have some repairs to accomplish while we sit for a few months. Stuff breaks on RVs and we share our latest RV repair!

Jim, Red Green the Canadian comedian has a saying "If the women don't find you handsome, make sure they find you handy".
I’m a man, but I can change. If I have to. I guess. Lol love the Red Green Show.
Our freedom depends on our service men and women! So blessed to have these wonderful servants to keep us free! God is good! He provides a way for us!
Amen!
"You need patience!" Priceless! 😂😂Kelly, I'm borrowing that one from you as my response to various statements others may say to me in the future. What a perfect answer! 😂😂 And, I am going to do it with a smile just like you did!
Another fantastic video! Jim, I thank you, Kelly, and your entire family for your service in the Air Force! Y'all be safe out there and happy travels! GOD bless!
Thanks! Hope you have a great weekend...
Thank you for your service. My husband was in the Navy on the USS CORAL SEA aircraft carrier. Among many jobs that he had , he worked on the flight deck and launched many airplanes.
Thank you Barbara....and thank him for his service as well.
Air Force here. F4E's & F4-D's. Danang 1969-1970. Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service James....and WELCOME HOME!
If you guys ever want to visit EEA Oshkosh hit us up. We’re full timers on 20 acres “ during summer” with a large guest site with full hookups. We’re 35 minutes from EEA AirVenture Oshkosh. We go every year.
That would be pretty cool! Always wanted to work that tower...
I agree you Guys really should try to get to EAA Air venture. 6 days of camping and Air planes with Two Night air shows.
You’re right … that’s the sound of Freedom. ❤
Yes it is Sheila!
I have a new 2023 Airstream Classic. We just returned from our 2nd trip that was only 68 miles each way. When we arrived at the park I gabbed a Philips Head screw driver and started checking the inside of each cabinet. Sure enough I found one that had started backing out. I learned to do this check on my 2020 Airstream after traveling over 30K miles with it. Inspect your rigs folks. It can prevent so many issues. Thanks to all of you that served in our military forces! You are much appreciated!
Great advice K&C. You have to be "handy" when you RV!
From a veteran family (Dave - US Navy) to another veteran family - thank you for your service. Please tell us more about what you did if you can.
Thanks guys. USAF air traffic.
@@SuiteTravels Dave was a nuclear reactor operator on a cruiser and an aircraft carrier. We were in Newport News and visited Langley Air Force Base a few times for their air show.
Airshows are very popular here in Australia, one just took place a few weeks ago in Avalon and attracted more than 248k+ visitors and trades over the course of the 6 day event!
WOW! That's awesome....we had no idea.
I always thank any veteran out there I don't care what branch of military they serve in. I always thank them for what they did.. I used to work for a retirement home for retired military officer and there sparse. I hear stories about all the wars the happened in the past. Agen I just wanted to say thank you to all of you that served in the military.
Amen Chloe!
Wow you were an air traffic controller!? My husband was for 28 years retired at 50 . Enroute Denver center. Retired just under 7 years now
I may have talked to him at some point. I recently retired from American Airlines. 37 years. We would fly through Denver Center to, and from the West Coast out of Charlotte, NC👨✈️✈️
Longmont Colorado??
@@industrialexitstrategist2022 yes, big blue building
We live about 2 miles south of an airport here that the osprey is tested regularly. They are some neat birds. As far as the rig goes, I think the best analogy I heard was "you have to remember that your home is going through an earthquake every time you go down the road". Keep an eye out for changes.
It's all part of the process Jeff - and it happens with ALL manufacturers.
Good job paying attention when something is different. It can save you lots of grief later. Glad you got it fixed. 23F this morning :(
Safe travels,
Kevin
Oh man....we're loving this sunshine and warm weather!
Thank you both for your service. A grateful nation thanks you. Thanks for sharing another great adventure. Stay safe, stay well and safe travels
Thank you John. Hope you have a great weekend!
Just a tip to try. I have the same Zero Gravity ramp door on my Raptor. Just like when you open and close slides, you need to open the man door so all the air can get in and out and you don't overstress the slide motors. For the rear ramp door, open the rear garage man door first to let the air out and you can let the ramp shut nice and gently. I've never had to slam my rear ramp door that hard. Of course, you always need to double-check it's latched by giving it a tug on each side once it's closed.
Thanks Todd. We actually do open the man door!
One of the many things we love about wintering here in Yuma the F-35s flying over us regularly. We watched the air show from outside the flea market it was awesome.
Safe travels hope to see you down the road again. Glad to help with the dentist. Got mine done there as well and got my final crown yesterday. Not a lot of fun but they make it pretty pain free. Hope you enjoyed your time here in the Foothills!
We've had a great time meeting everyone Susan, and can't thank you enough for the tip!
@@SuiteTravels that's what fellow RVers do isn't it? We look out for each other! Safe travels.
I always do a pre-check walk around as well as a walk around each time we make a stop.
Good advice!
Wow, glad you caught that door, shutter to think what could have gone wrong. 🙏🇺🇸
It could have been pretty ugly!
Projects, projects, projects. We definitely know about those! LOL
Yes we do!
STETRV,,HELLO,JIM,&KELLY,I wolf have loved to be there,I sawBLUE ANGELS,YEARS AGO,they were GREAT !, Wishing the best,onyournext adventure,gods blessings to you
Stay well,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Love the sound of freedom and love airshows and have seen several as I spent 22 years in the USAF. Spent 2 winters in Yuma Covid hit and the air shows where canceled that was a bummer. I'm not so sure that the Osprey is the sound of freedom as they flew over our RV park and when the are on final they are loud and shake everything. Thanks for your service.
They are loud Norm! Thank you for your service.
Semper Fi! My husband is a Marine and my dad was in the Air Force in Kittery Me. Thank you for your service!! Uncle was Army in Vietnam. And my sweet Daughter is dating a Marine in Japan right now while she is busy getting her nursing degree!!!
Love it Jennifer!
l was in tears at my foster son and 106 close army servants graduation. good to see you good okie friends
We have airshow Mar 25 & 26th at Barksdale AFB. Can't wait. The Blue Angels are coming this year. They are so fascinating.
That's awesome! Have fun.
Wow! There sure was a lot of people there at the air show. Glad you had fun. Sorry about you garage door but glad you got fixed. Jim’s a great handyman. Glad Jim spotted what went wrong with the door and was able to fix it. Hope you have safe travels going to Rolling Retreats. Say hi to Alicia for me there and her husband. Glad Jim got his tooth fixed with a root cannel and was able to get in quick.
An answer to prayer there. Safe travels. Love you! 🤗😘❤️💜
So, getting that "hitch itch" feeling? We get it. We've been wintering in Florida, but it's time to start heading west. Along the way, we'll schedule a stop with Alicia at Rolling Retreats as we're ready to upgrade our 2015 DRV Mobile Suite.
Safe travels guys....we're ready to hit the road!
Thanks for the video. Great idea for us in Yuma next season. Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it!
LOL at men. seriously, we could never film us on the road with the hubby driving especially the rig. R rated for sure
Hahaha....it's a man thing!
Thank you for your military service Mr Jim. Our beautiful country would not be free without men and woman like yourself. Looking forward to the travel day vlog next week!! As always Blessings and Protection over you guys ♥
Thank you Kalyn. Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi guys!! You can come visit us and have an air show everyday!! Half mile away from the end of the runway of the Navy base. The sound of freedom sometimes wears on our nerves!! 😂 My hubby is a Navy veteran and so is our son in law. Thank you for your service!! 🇺🇲
We love the sound of airplanes! Thanks for their service. That's what keeps us free!
That was cool. We have a show like that in Tyler Tx. Nice to see y’all. Safe travels.
Nice to be seen Diane! Have a great weekend.
My parents had a lake house several years that was right near the end of the runway at Carswell Air Force Base and we would watch those F-35 jets come off the runway and shoot straight up into the air talk about freedom
They are awesome!
That was nice Jamie and Callie. But I liked it so much that I wanted you to record some more. Maybe next time.
thanks for the show.
Have fun
Hahaha....maybe next time. Have a great weekend!
Hope you had a great weekend and hope you have a great week.
I hope you had a great St, Patty’s Day! ☘️ I used to go to air shows in Michigan and loved them and been to the air shows out here in Vegas as well.
Jim is not the only one who is in the grump slump, I've got it bad! Time to move on!!
Hahaha....let's go!
Great advice on knowing your rig and doing checks. We pick up our rig from RR in late May. They are a great dealership that cares about their customers. Glad to call them my dealer too.
They are the best!
Well I'm glad you enjoyed the airshow I thought it was kind of neat sorry that your your rig gave you problems but I'm glad you're having a good time and look forward to the next video and she would venture you're heading to in the meantime take care have fun God bless stay safe
Time to get back on the road Allan....hope all is well.
Yes... the sound of freedom! Jim, thank you for your service.🇺🇸 My husband is a veteran (and a retired LEO) and we are airplane fanatics too! Our home is in a flight path and gets buzzed by F/A-18s regularly... and we love it! 🇺🇸
Thanks Vicki. Have a great weekend.
Hey Kellie, If Jim had patients? He'd be a DOCTOR!!! LOL
😂
Thank you!
When I picked up my new rig, there was 3 bad MCD shades. The dealership had already taken them down, but didn't have any in stock to replace the bad ones. The bad ones are under my bed.
Oh man....that doesn't sound good. MCD is very good at helping if you want to repair them yourself.
Thanks, I'll look into it.
Hi Jim and Kellie! We are a bit new to your channel and have spent the last few weeks binge watching from the beginning of your journey. We just watched this one and are excited to be caught up, but also a little sad that we now have to wait for the next one 😌
Thoroughly enjoy the 2 of you and have learned so much! Thank You for doing this for all of us and can't wait till we can be out there too. Less than 3 years till retirement!
Take care and hope to see you next week 😀
Welcome to the community Grammy! And congratulations on your upcoming retirement...it will go fast!
Hello Jim, I noticed when you tried to close the ramp door. I had the same problem with my DRV Fullhouse. When you are closing, the ramp door. Make sure the back side door is Open! It will help when closing the ramp door. You will find it easier to close and you won't have to slam it so hard. Take care and God bless
Thanks guys.
Hi guys...we love the planes also...my uncle flew the B36 peace maker back in the 50s...6 turning..4 burning...I love helicopters...save my butt more than once back in nam...thanks for the video...stay safe...J&A
Thanks guys. Really looking forward to getting together again!
Thanks for the video
Thanks for hanging out with us Ken!
Great video!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
Me don't need no stinkin' maps! :)
Take a blanket and lay down! Lol
😂 not a bad idea!
Pretty hard to beat the Elk City bunch.
They are the BEST!
❤
Thanks John!
Do you find that the DRV quality is still what it used to be. For a new rig as a lot of manufacture defect.
We haven't seen anything to indicate poor quality Pedro. As we said....these rigs go down the road like they're in an earthquake. We just need to keep an eye on everything and keep up with maintenance.
Great video and that show sounds like a lot of fun spilla Maria from Las Vegas. I was wondering if you're gonna be in Montana first week of April and I also wanted to know. Where did you buy your 5th wheel cause? I'm looking. To trade my trade my class a diesel pusher and I really like you're independent suspension and your 5th wheel if you could let me knoh thank you. Be safe.😅
Let me understand the rear door problem. Jim pulled so hard on the door that he sheared the screws? (that's my story and sticking to it!) Great video. We get the Thunderbirds here every once in a while, always fun to watch those shows! TY you 2.
Thanks....hope you have a great weekend!
Maybe they should have welded it instead of using screws
There's nothing to weld to Noah. The trim piece holds the sidewalls in place.
Most man don’t read instructions. Lol 😂
😂 Nope!
I would seriously consider abandoning your RV manufacturer after learning they built my full time home on the cheap. It will be unfortunate if your next issue concerns something more substantial in the frame due to bad decision making by the manufacturer.
Some RV manufacturers over build to preserve there brand reputation, some disappear after 10 years because of recurring issues across their models.
We've known the RV industry for over 40 years Dustup, and they ALL have issues. Owners just need to understand that it's not like a house. Stuff is going to happen rolling down the road.
