Awesome that you were able to get to Acadia National Park (one of our fav spots), and if I'm mistaken, you ate in Bar Harbor at Mainly Meat restaurant. Great beers and food. We love your videos Jonathan.
OBSERVATION bummer we didn't get to see Maine as i was so waiting to see Maine and Nova Scotia in your filming and exploring style, bc weve seen the west in every video. Good luck
With the recent tragedy in Maine… maybe your bad luck was actually good luck that made you leave. Hang in there, love the pics.
I was thinking the same 😮
I was also worried when I heard the location of the tragedy.
There is tons of dispersed camping in the north east maybe a little better planning next time especially in maine sorry u turned back sometimes u just need to push through u can do anything u put ur mind to
95% of Maine is in private hands. Tons of dispersed sights, I doubt it.
U should ck before u doubt look up north Maine woods it’s a few million acres of forest available for recreation
Tip for the oven, buy a square pizza stone and put it on the lower "rack" (the solid sheet of metal, not the main rack) it helps disperse the heat a little better and I noticed things cooked more evenly.
It helps to moderate the heat cycle of the oven... Makes sense to me...
Yeah, we just leave it in the oven all the time
FYI diesel doesn't freeze at 31 degrees ......
7.3’s have filters in the tank that are prone to gunking up. Also your driving with winter blend fuel now which will give you less mpg.
I was thinking it right as you said it and that's we all need to stop and rest and recalibrate nothing wrong with that actually that's fairly intelligent shows a lot of wisdom. Godspeed.
Always good to recharge your battery, to reset your goals. I never would have left Maine , would still be there eating those lobster rolls!
Dude, I'm in Nebo Ohio, like 10 min from you... In fact I think I use to cut your grandparents grass when I was a kid... Poland, New Middletown, New Springfield and North Lima are my stomping grounds...
Check your truck's air filter.
Where in Ohio are u? I came down there as a kid ..alot..spent alot of time in main Ohio..i stayed at a frend of the family's farm..it had a giant mansion on the property..might have been wood farms..i kno waz owned by Windsor wood..he has since passed when covid came thru..i donno waz jus a thought that u might kno the place..im fron nova scotia
So this is all the content you got from a cross country trip!? Wth!!
Dude lol you have a V8 and your hauling heavy /
We’re you expecting 21
Lol much love man love the content and what you do 🙏🏽
I have a 1998 f150 xlt - good power for hauling not the best on efficiency in gas mileage
You have headwinds going west
When you're in Walmart how about picking up a cheap pizza 🥘 pan🥘❤️
Next time let the glow plugs cycle twice
Uh-oh, emergency trip home to save the relationship. No worries, we've all been in similar situations when doing our own thing for too long for them to bear.
As for mpg, from Maine to Colorado is on average uphill and against the wind. That alone can explain that your real average is 11mpg, and you got 12mpg going east, 10mpg going west.
PUMP UP THOSE TIRES to the "max load at max pressure" psi specified on the tire sidewall.
Worst thing in the world for mpg is using the mushy tire pressures on the door jamb.
Ford isn't paying for your fuel, you are. Don't listen to them.
You're pretty heavily loaded, so using the max-load pressure is very sensible for that reason also.
Last but not least, SLOW DOWN, and I say that without needing to know how fast or slow you drive.
Optimal mpg for that boxy shape is probably between 30mph and 40mph.
The only reason 40mph might be not already getting bad, is the high overhead of just having the engine running at all.
Do a tank at 50mph, a tank at 55mph, a tank at 60mph, and a tank at 65mph.
Or better yet, get a scan tool and watch your instantaneous mpg through the OBDII port in real time, running a couple minutes at each speed each time conditions stay the same for 10 or 20 minutes. $15 dongle and a free phone app, you'd have the answer. Or get a $100ish one that records and stores real-time graphs of data. I like my Launch Creader Elite, and have given its various models (200/202/205) to friends and family.
Ditto for seeing how mpg varies with tire pressures, though to do an accurate job of that, you'd need to measure tire temps (laser thermometer is often on sale for $15 at Harbor Freight) and use that to figure out what the psi would be at ambient "cold temp". But you don't need to do an accurate job. Inflate them to max sidewall psi when cold. Then when you find 50 miles of level road ahead, drive 10 miles watching ODBII mpg, then reduce pressure and drive 10 miles, etc. Don't go below safe pressure, obviously. Then pump them back up at the end of the experiment, so do it when soon reaching a truck stop or whatever.
MYOB haters!!
"parks are prime for automotive work" does a 5min job, lmao thats wild advice
This channel is an emotional roller coaster. Much like real life I suppose. Lots of trial & error with dashes of disappointment.
Check your tire pressure and air filter. Works for me every time. Also might want to check the brakes. If one’s hanging up it’ll cause drag. Good luck.
For the fuel mileage check the following : As tires wear, rolling friction increases. It does with low pressure too, so check that. Clean the exhaust back pressure sensor and tube. Check fuel pressure is still in the 50-60ish range. Low fuel pressure means accelerating more to do the same work as before. Try some Seafoam, PS Diesel Kleen or Hot Shot Secret to clean the injectors. If you end up dropping the tank to check the fuel sending unit for accuracy, be sure and clean or replace the mixing chamber screens. . Hope you go to Florida next - warm weather and great scenery
Sad you travel to the other side of country and have no videos....not good...poor planning and very dissapointing..
Poor planning doesn't even cover it. For a guy that doesn't have a full-time job and makes his money off of youtube, this is definitely going to cut into the bottom line when you make a full Coast to Coast trip and only put out half a dozen videos LOL. This is the kind of trip that should have done a couple of hundred miles a day and pumped out a video each night. That would have more than paid for the entire trip. No way he's even going to break even on this one
You are too soft, you quit way too easy. Work harder, challenge yourself!!
I love your truck camper and enjoy your adventures.I hope we see more of Tessa too, she seems like such a nice person.
There's wisdom in knowing when to move on. Sometimes we don't resonate with a place, or it with us. There's no shame in this recognition.
The pizza looks good
The change in driving East to West can have a noticeable effect on gas mileage because of prevailing wind direction.
Welcome to Colorado! We are having snow currently, so don't know if you are still here. Enjoy it all, whatever the day may bring Jonathan. I think your ability to just let things flow will help you to have a wonderful life. Thanks for sharing this video and for taking us along. I am 66 now, and I wonder what my life would have been like to have even half of the experiences you have had so far. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy everything Jonathan! 😀👋👋👍👍❤
So glad I moved out of Colorado and California. The dry air is so bad for your lungs.
I think you have a prevailing wind that accounts for the mileage difference. A west to east wind is pretty common, and you rig is like a big sail, so you could have been getting a 1 mpg assist traveling east, and now have a 1 mpg headwind impact heading back. Might we worth confirming that before you spend too much time on the fuel filter. Sorry if you cover that later on in the video.
lower tire pressure or driving into a head wind vs tailwind can easily affect ~2mpg change. good luck on the trip!
great video! and remember you deserve a private life & privacy for things you want to keep to yourself even if you are a content creator. Have a great day!
Great to see you again this week ! Heading home is always exciting too ! Your grandparents home was absolutely beautiful. Great memories I am sure.
Don't be so hard on yourself, you don't owe me an explanation. I'm glad that you got to see the colors of fall on the trees. And I look forward to seeing your next adventures.
Totally agree.. who knows what issues affected Jonathan? His business, we are along for the ride!🎉😊
If I’m being completely honest I wanna know the story! But as long as your ok and in a good place mentally that’s all that really matters! I really enjoy your content, I watch every video and I just wanna say keep up the great work and Im sure we’re all pulling for you! Life is hard to figure out sometimes! Anyway take care be safe and BEAT THE STATUS QUO!
Thats what happen when you travel alone. Mental issue surface. And no one consolide you. Travel with partner will be more fun
I'm curious, too. I hope all is well.
@@jules1sd ya I think when we connect with people we follow on youtube we develop a certain amount of caring for that person! For now we’re just going to have to be happy that he’s in a better state of mind for now!
I’ve subscribed to Jonathan for years, but his hyper commercialization is getting old.
I thought he had a digital readout for his truck electrical system?
Bottom line, you cut your trip short because you missed your girlfriend. 😂❤❤❤
Some of our best adventures are the ones that don’t go as expected. Happy trails Jonathan ❤
Regarding your gas mileage, have you been checking your tire air pressure? That makes a huge difference, and the air in the tires expands and contracts with the temperature.
Content creator or vagueness creator?
You have to do what is best for YOU. Don’t feel like you have to do just for others. Take care of yourself.
Put the rack in the middle of the oven otherwise it burns the bottom fast if it's right above it. We live in a fifth wheel right now. Also have a small pan upside right above where the fire is for another barrier to not burn food while baking. Another tip is get an oven temp monitor. Ones that hang off the rack for a accurate reading.
This video was a major drag dude,
Agree, use a pizza stone for all baking. Used one in RV for years with great success..Also great for frozen foods & reheating left-overs. Stone distributes even heat.
Hey Jonathan, most places have switched over to winter diesel now, you'll get less MPG with winter diesel. I bet that's all that is different now.
PS- the recent switch to Winter Gas blend was probably what you experienced with lower mpg, that and the prevailing winds heading back West
Love your grandparents house. Should have shown more of it. Love older homes. They have character. The newer ones all look the same.
Thank you for sharing your trip, things happen so don’t beat yourself up,I’m sure you will be glad to get home, drive safe
I live here in Maine...can't get any more to the East...and there are PLENTY of places to camp. Especially with your camper dude. I wish you hadn't of had your problem or whatever is going on. And I also hope that you get it fixed pretty quickly. Have fun dude...stop in and say HI the next time you get to Maine.
Is anybody having problems watching this video
So far, no. 🙈
To bad you headed north instead of south when you reached the East Coast. New England is a very beautiful region but you may have experienced some bad juju while in a couple of the states up there. Not many location to boondock ANYWHERE through New England. They frown on “camping” or trying to stay overnight on streets and parking lots. Pretty big fines and police presence throughout the region to try to stop visitors from staying overnight anywhere. That area wants you to spend $$$$$ to stay at their overpriced B&B places or high priced hotels or Inns. You are correct in that a lot of the tourism is closed down up there like campgrounds and some attractions that are seasonally opened, closing around mid Sept.
I had commented in your original video of your journey east and suggested to you to come east and plan something going south through NJ, PA, Delaware, Maryland and even down through the Carolinas. You would have had a GREAT adventure, great weather and tons of Fall events throughout this region. Many State parks some campgrounds are open year round in these states and you could have had a lot more “rest stop” overnight rest stops. The I-95 North to South highway has tons of these free overnight “rest” stops. Trucks and campers are always using these while traveling from New England to Florida. Many unique places to visit just off this major highway from Maine to Florida.
Had you made the journey south, this time of year you would have had tons of seasonal changes to see over next month. Leaves changing, birds migrating, THE BEST FISHING TIME OF THE YEAR. This is the start of migration of all the east coast birds, fish and even lots of wildlife to see as they get ready for winter. Maybe if you plan another trip to the east coast States consider trip from PA/NJ and head south from there. Lots to see in every season, just gets a little crowded during summer.
Your fuel consumption for that truck with that diesel Ford engine is not to bad. I have and FX4 with gas engine and have several friends with that exact rig (diesel) and they will get 12-13 maybe 14 on flat roads on highway with camper top or trailer at cruise speed of 65-75 but it ALWAYS drops to around 10-11 when its stop and go traffic. That 350 truck will eat fuel going over 75 or in stop and go traffic or mountain passes which is probably what you encountered in the New England region.
Will not be long for winter camping adventures and I hope you get home safely. Try to get on West side of Rocky Mts before next couple weeks. Snow season is here and that rig will be tough in deeper mountain snow.
If you do plan a future East Coast trip reach out and I can give you some good info for travels from NY to Florida if you want.
Poland…damn dude…I live really close to Poland, OH. I know what you mean about that small town feel there! Poland is an awesome little town. I am over that way at least once a week shopping and getting gas in Boardman. I live just across the OH/PA border…gas is so much cheaper in OH!!!
Next time you visit Poland, give me shout…breakfast, lunch or dinner is on me bro!
BTW-I second the idea of getting a pizza stone to disperse the heat in your oven. Also, next time you’re in Walmart pick up a cheap oven thermometer as your oven dial, like most in an oven, isn’t 100% accurate.
As always, stay safe out there….
Amazing Adventure Love your Childhood Home ❤ The Trees ❤️ 🍕🍕 Thank you
Glad you're going to try again, probably earlier in the year. This was certainly a fun series even though not all your plans went the way you wanted. Clearly the actual mistake mentioned in the caption was the pizza on the middle rack, amirite? :) p.s. When you get home, stay away from that sledgehammer!
Happy travels Jonathan. Yeah you need like 3 months to really do a cross country trip and enjoy it fully. Thanks for taking us along 💕🤙
I recently bought a coffee maker thingy like yours, except it’s stainless steel. It also doesn’t require a paper liner. It was pretty inexpensive at my local kitchen shop, so I’m sure you could find one . I have enjoyed using it, I think it’s from Germany. I thought about it when you showed yours breaking, and thought I’d mention it to you. Im sorry about the trip. It’s hard to find campsites on east coast is an understatement. The amount, vs,. The demand is a problem. Im enjoying your channel.
Now you’re a commercial pushing products
When I was a little kid, I kept asking my dad, “are we there yet?” He would tell me to sit back and enjoy the ride. Driving is in my blood, and your videos are so fun to watch no matter the destination. I’m sitting here in my kitchen enjoying the ride! Ty! 🚗💨💨
Was just wondering, why when people come through here, why they don't spend time in places like Rifle Colorado...y the city??? If you like to do camping, why would u go to the city...
Being in the east, it always amazes me to see vids of all the dispersed camping opportunities out west! One day I’ll make it out there! 😊
It seems like every video you put out there’s something wrong, something goes wrong, you don’t catch a fish, you forget to pack something, etc. Come on bro! Been following you for over a year now and it’s just not the same anymore. I miss the artistic side of your videos.
Your losing 2 miles per gallon because your heading west. You now are having to deal with headwinds. Wait until you go across the Rockies. 😊
3000 miles to turn around maine is beautiful this time of year
no way my aunt, uncle, and cousins used to live in Poland, OH! I would go up there every christmas
Bad time of the year to come out here to New England. Most camping/ tourist stuff starts to close around 10/15. Come back next time in the spring !!
when we were in bar harbor, gateway lunts closed, in fact the employees were having a get together just after closing at the beacon
The point? You did it and made a great adventure.
Too bad you had to leave the East Coast after a bad experience. You should have circled down South on your way home 😊 You know what they say about Southern hospitality! Safe travels on the rest of your journey home.
Oh heck yes best lobster roll was in the state capitol at the Red Barn. I bought two of the monster rolls at $40.00 each. I did go to Acadia National Park it is Epic. I always enjoy your videos. Ideas for some camping in Utah, Moab was my favorite location it’s landscape is epic.
The rambling ambiguous comments about why you ended your trip abruptly are a little off putting. Give your followers some insight or just say plans changed and I’m heading back. No need to go on and on but give us nothing to go off of.
This is what he always does. I used to love his channel until he got into this self sabotaging routine. He wants everything perfect and nomad lifestyle is ever but secure. He has what it takes to make a great channel but the self sabotaging is unbelievable with this kid.
Oh pipe down! He cares too much what his viewers think. You two dumbasses obviously didn’t hear him say about a time issue. He always shows beautiful scenes that I really enjoy.
@@janisg7409 🤣 k 👍
Winter diesel is decreasing your economy. Nothing more.
Long road trips can be hard. Glad to see you are heading back. Sure you enjoyed Denver, great city and a lot to do.😀
That’s our favorite frozen pizza! :)
❤❤❤❤ Snow camping! Can't wait!! Be safe out there.☺️
I'm proud of you for choosing to take care of yourself first. Videos can always wait. Love your channel, bro!
I love your videos. Being away from people is tough, loneliness can cause problems. I hope you feel better now.
You are smart and strong.😊
for what its worth i always fast forward through the sponsor..js
Thank you for the videos ,very enjoyable. I just got back from a cross country road trip too was gone for 2 months. There is just so much to see in this great place we live. There is never enough time. Just enjoy what you can. 🎉
Hey have fun in Denver, enjoy the rest of your adventure 😊❤️
You ain’t tough enough for the east coast boii
You should do a video testing out that power station, Jonathan and see what appliances can run on it
Your climbing going west
You weren't doing the trip the wrong time of year, you were doing it at the wrong latitude. I try to stay south in the winter and north in the summer. Go to Arizona and Southern California in the winter, so many great places to explore. I kayaked the Salton Sea and rode dirt bikes in Ocotillo Wells and Anza Borrego last winter. Tee shirt weather.
Probably got a head wind
I'm curious what could stress you out so much in a state like Maine?
its full of mass murderers
lack of planning or even a slight plan....silly really to drive across the country and not stop and see sights along the way. He needs content.
@geoffspage8105 yeah I'm just trying to think of the last time he followed through on any plan. First off, he doesn't live in his camper full-time like he portrayed in the beginning. He's just a weekend camper that goes out to the Wilderness on occasion and sleeps in his truck camper then goes back to his apartment. Also, how many trucks and campers has he had since the beginning I get looking to upgrade which is fine but buying a camper then stripping a completely down for a full renovation was ridiculous to begin with and then tapping out halfway through and selling it to buy a different camper because he realized it was too much work. I said in the beginning that starting a road trip to the east coast in the beginning of October was way too late in the season because he would be hitting snow before ending the trip. A coast to coast trip should start in late spring and carry on until early fall. Take your time, enjoy the scenery and take in the different towns and cities along the way to see what they have to offer. He jumped in the truck, put the foot down saying he was going to make a I run for the East Coast then work his way back. Well, he raced to the east coast, got to Maine without Crossing into Canada and going to Nova Scotia like he said he was going to, now racing back home. He just said time slipped away and went too fast, did he honestly think he was going to do and Coast to Coast trip across the United States in a month without taking time to slow down and see what the country had to offer. With that said, I do enjoy the camping aspect of the videos though even if it's only driving to a place in the evening, cooking some meal nobody would ever bother with on a camping trip and then packing up and going home first thing the following morning LOL
Personally, I think maybe his girlfriend expected him to be home within a month and when she realized he was still way out on the East Coast 3 weeks into the month she had a fit and now he's racing back home to kiss ass. You can tell she's not into the camping like he is and if this is the way he wants to try to make a living, it's not going to work unless both are on board with the plans or way of life
@@Krusty1971 thats exactly what i was thinking, he did say his GF would be along for the trip, probably had some argument. TH-cam life is never what is portrayed, but thats why we watch, to day dream for 20 min.
Y’all are harsh. The flakiness is part of the charm. His meals are great and delicious, so not sure about the snark.
WHINE, WHINE, WHINE.
JONATHAN, YOU ARE YOUR OWN WORST ENEMY... EVERYTHING GOING WRONG, NEVER POSITIVE...
SO SAD.. I CAN'T WATCH ANYMORE... SORRY, TO DEPRESSING... GOODBYE, GOOD LUCK. I'LL PRAY FOR YOU
We don't know what we don't know. Don't be hard on yourself. Drive safe.
Quitting again huh? 🙄
Hey bud...
You need to put a pizza stone in your oven and then it will cook more accurately....
There all the same 👍
Unfortunately, your 10mpg w/Camper is the norm for a 7.3... I have a 2007 Ford F450 6.0 Diesel with a HEAVY truck camper (5.5k lbs) and my average is 9.59mpg... without camper I get an average 12.89mpg
ah ha! you got to "the low point" and backed away. In decades of riding the country by motorcycle I leanred about "the low point". When on a road trip that youve spent weeks or months planning and anticipating, there is a series of disappointments along the way as the actual trip doesnt live up to the dream. Eventually it gets to the "Low Point" where you want to just toss it in and go home. But the thing is....thats when it gets good. When you finally toss away the expectations and just let the experiences happen. You shift perspective from trying to get the whole thing to cooperate with your plans and instead give yourself over to whatever may come. I was on a trip that was hooped from the get go. By the time I had gotten to the east coast from the west, the suck was in effect. I had been compressed between the skirts of two hurricanes as I crossed the upper midwest. Pennsylvania had 10 inches of rain in 24 hours. As I headed south I was plagued by flat tires. By the time I got to tennessee I had given up on fixing the stupid things and had the bike towed to the crappiest motel ever over Labor Day weekend. The room was filthy, The next room over was stuffed with people like a clown car. That night: I got an inappropriate proposition, tried patching the tire tube again while the neighbors offered boozy advice; and finally was dragged out of bed at 1 AM by someone pounding on the door - because there was a hoopty cadillac on fire just feet away from the building. After that I gave in. What next? arrest? hospital? zombie apocalypse? Screw it - I have a running bike, cash in my pocket, and no particular place to be for a month. and the rest of the trip was one of the best Ive ever had.
Dont back away from the low point.
Well, it doesn't seem like you were able to really enjoy Iowa much...just traveling throb on I-80. Many people underestimate our state. Not saying you did...I know you were rushing to get home...just saying that it's worth a trip back some time! At least you got to enjoy some of the best local IPAs! Hopefully you can get back to the midwest once our crazy winter is over. Safe travels! 🍻
Maybe put your truck in the shop.
You might have a dirty injector.
Get it running good and put a pint of cheap O'Reilly ATF in the fuel.
tank. But only if it's pre 2006. Then fuel it full.
This is no way to live long term.
It’s been a few months since I watched your last videos. You were in a warehouse working on your big foot truck camper that you had bought in Canada and now I notice your in a different truck camper? If you don’t mind my asking... what happened to have you change truck campers? I love your videos. I was just curious.
Something to be said for prior planning!
❤ Waiting on new content. Wen things dont work move on and find something that does. Every one needs to do that, recharge once in awhile. Safe travels.❤❣️🍁🍂🎃🌨️❄️👻❣️
There are plenty of public lands in the east. What is not allowed is to drive your vehicle into the parks and preserves, cutting branches along the way, and park in the woods.
The woods are forever wild here. Park rangers are expressing concerns about people from the west and people who watch youtubers from the west driving up hiking paths and cutting vegetation and trees to fit their vehicles on the hiking paths.
Here in the east we don't want to see campers on our hiking trails. Our public lands are made for hiking or tent camping.
I'm sorry but your multi-video critism of our beautiful, natural parks is off-putting, and not the relaxing channel I sunscribed to.
It’s lonely to go on a cross country trip. You need to have someone with you. One month is too long to be cooped up alone and just driving. Our family’s max is one week. After that, we’re all getting on each others nerves 🤷♀️ and just head back home.
Love your videos Jonathan, something about it really different from other channels! Hope you’re feeling better today mentally & physically ❤
