Why You Are Wrong If You MUST Make Reservations (RV Life)

  • We hit the open road in our RV, but what we didn't plan on was the chaos that ensued! We had no reservations and no idea what we were doing. This turned into a Labor Day disaster as we struggled to find a place to stay for the night. Watch this video to see all the drama unfold!
    This video documents the entire debacle and includes footage of us showing up to random RV parks begging for a night to stay; PLUS useful tools that can pull you out of a pinch in similar scenarios.

We hope you’re enjoying St. Augustine, their Christmas is pretty amazing, even though it’s too early. You can always peek at last year’s on TH-cam.

    Also be aware of semi’s. We were rear-ended by one back in August as traffic was slowing down. It was following way too close and couldn’t slow as fast as us. It totaled our small camper, luckily no one was hurt. We were loaded up and on our way to a camping trip, ruined our trip and camping for rest of the year. Picking up the new small camper this weekend. :)

Much safer to temporarily turn the hazards on, then once slowed down and conform others behind you have slowed turn them off - still safer than tapping the brake lights to alert others - especially if your using the brakes at that moment.

    Since I met you two, (and am totally obsessed) Can’t wait for Thursdays.
    Now being a widow and orphaned after being a RVer, camper my entire life with Mom & Dad then got married to the best man who was bathe same way. So, all of us where always traveling. Then when Mom & Dad retired out they were “Camp Host” at one
    of the lakes in the Sierra/Navada mountain range (I just happened to work for 😉) and it was some of our happiest times in life.
    Now, being alone (I moved back to California from International Falls MN (where we originally began life and Dad wanted to go back to finish his life. They are all buried now and I’m in a temporary very small duplex (Renting) with my ESA dog Abby, trying to figure out what I want to do in life. Buy a house ?(worst time in history)go into mfg/Mobil home-park or buy a Class C and hit the road but! Being alone at 64 years young! Traveling is really on the top of my list, but just feel it’s not safe, to much work alone, did I say “Not safe” 😊so on and so forth. Or, just hunker down here until the economy turns around 😖 and live vicariously through you.
    Want to thank you for the best hour of my life on Thursdays.
    Thank you so much for listening to me and you guys being so hilarious.
    Keep the rubber down and be safe.
    Sincerely

Just kidding of course, we love watching you each week and we're glad that you got a place to stay each night.

    When you buy beef jerky at Buc-ee’s, try the jerky from the “Jerky Counter” instead of the prepackaged jerky. The jerky from the counter taste much better.
    A good tool to check the tires and wheel hubs temperatures are the inferred heat guns. When you’re not using it for measuring temperatures, you can use the red dot for the cat to chase around.😊

    We recently evacuated for hurricane Ian. On our way home we had no reservations. The only night we had any trouble was the first night. We wound up staying in a Bass Pro Shop parking lot in Baton Rouge Louisiana. Now we have a Class A diesel pusher so we have a onboard 10k watt generator and we had fresh water in our tank so we were fine. The parking lot was spacious and pretty level. We had a great night's sleep.

We were in crazy busy traffic and he was doing great until the guy in the left lane cut us off as we were going downhill pulling our trailer. So grateful our truck and trailer stopped and we didn't hit him and no one hit us!! It was so close and terrifying. Life on the road is seldom boring. Love you guys. Take Care.

    LOL, I have to laugh because the no reservation approach is how I have vacationed solo 100% of the time . . . . The exceptions in the past have been when my wife goes with me. She is an over planner and doesn't like to ride in a vehicle for more than a few hours a day so we quickly learned not to do long trips together anymore. We have found it works better for both of us if she flys and rents a car to meet me there once I reach the destination she is interested in. ;-)

      Hiya! I know it's old-school, but they sell RV site tracker books. I was given one as a Farewell Gift. It has a ton of pages that each have places to put location, site, what site you would like for next visit, a place to write down any thoughts or recommendations. We love it, we are still new so it doesn't have any pages filled in yet but can't wait to put it into service!

    Just found you guys, so I'm two months late on this one, but from one old transport nurse and EMT to two others, thanks for pointing out all of the dangers of not yielding to responding emergency vehicles and how dangerous the rubber-necking of other driver's can be! People have been injured and killed because of driver inattention at the scene of crashes. Safety first!! THANKS!!!!!!!

    Hey from NC, Hanks! The last 2 times we went camping, the 30A and 50A hookups for electric were there, but not water. I bought some 7gal water storage containers and that got us by.

    Pressure regul. We run the same regular because of on demand water heater. Use a water "y" at the supply! One for fresh, one for black. Double shut off on black tank.

    I was happy to see all of your campgrounds allowed one night booking. We stayed at a campground outside of Pittsburgh in our way up to Niagara Falls that had sites specifically for people passing through for one night and we had a nice pull-thru site. We’ve found, however, a lot of campgrounds that want you to book for at least two nights.
    Thanks for another great video, Hanks!

    I stand corrected; not only did you prove that having no reservations - even on a busy holiday weekend - is do-able, but you made it look easy! Well done, you two! You are always such fun to watch!

  • @OurRoadLessTraveled
    @OurRoadLessTraveled ปีที่แล้ว +1

    We so identify with this. Our travel plans cover getting the rig hooked up and deciding which way to go on an interstate. We do carry a generator just in case though. I can't tell you how many times we changed plans at the last minute and had to find a new place. Planning stresses us out, it creates too firm of a timeline. Nothing worse than trying to rush to the next place or cut something short because you HAVE to be somewhere. Pressure gauge thing is golden. Can't tell you how many we have tossed. Never thought about the pressure being built up and needing to be released. Love the content and safe travels.

    Great episode. We are in Australia butl so agree with what you are trying to show. Most of the time we never book until we are on the road as you never know how far you will travel and you may come to a town that you really like that you want to stop in. No booking keeps it flexible. 👍👍👍

  • @nileshsmith6282
    @nileshsmith6282 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    As a truck driver, the best advice I can give is to increase your traveling distance from the vehicle in front of you. This will prevent any quick stops or need to slam the breaks. I can't tell you how many times the 4 second rule has saved me. Let the vehicle in front of you pass an object or marker on the road, count 4 seconds, and you should be passing that same marker. Happy traveling. 😊

    Another great video! Thanks Hanks! My brother, pulling his 5th wheel, and I, driving my class C, drove from Georgia to Washington last June. Out of 7 nights on the road, we were able to find a spot every night except for 2 of them. We thought that was pretty good.

    • @John_Ridley
      @John_Ridley ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah It's good to know that there's good odds of getting a spot without a reservation, but if nobody made reservations it'd be chaos. They can handle one or two rigs showing up walk-up but if 30 rigs showed up without res it'd be a mess.
