Hey guysthis is John that meet you on the road with the flat and I wanted to say thank you for entertaining us with your endless adventures. I also wanted to say that Eric and Allison are just as nice in person that they are on the videos. They are very genuine and very friendly. Hope to run into you again under better and safer circumstances.
From my almost 60 year career of driving you - name - it, and as a professional driving instructor, you should follow this advice as well as anyone else who is reading this: if you have a tire blow up on either a tow vehicle or a towed vehicle, do not, do not, DO NOT change it on the interstate! Drive on it slowly to the next exit, or spot where you can get away from traffic. If you ruin a wheel, that's perfectly OK, because wheels can be found rather inexpensively. Morgues and emergency rooms are considerably more costly.
Love you two. I’m living your adventures, fun and love through you. Funny and kind people. You have never failed. God’s blessings. Stay young and have fun everyday. My name is Neftali from Tucson.
Positive attitudes go a long way! So glad you guys are safe! As another truck driver, I can't stress enough as paulw has, that if this happens again DO NOT STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY! Limp to the next exit and get off the road and AWAY from traffic! Funny enough, I too, had a tire blow out on my trailer today, and that's what I did.. Keep the adventure rolling...And stopping when necessary..Stay safe!
I love your videos'. I still watch when Allison "died" on the bungi cord jump off the bridge. Now your jokes are almost bringing me to tears! Keep the adventure going. You are just getting better!
Wow thats was scary. 😱 what a a great Guy coming to your rescue😊 got off that Highway as quickly as possible 🫣. Thats lovely you got time to spend with Family 🥰 pleased every thing has been sorted 🙏 looking Forward to to your next adventure Take care have Good week 🥰
In the UK you're told to never stay in the vehicle if you break down on the hard shoulder and to sit on the grass verge in case of a collision. Just curious is this not the same everywhere?
I just LOVE you two. I learn so much and appreciate that even through the super crappy times you present a cohesive approach to adversity God Bless you❤
Hey guys, another great video! Go out and pickup 20vt impact wrench, and a set of impact sockets. Makes life a lot easier if/when you get another flat. Also, and more important, never put a wheel lug nut into a socket and screw it in. That's a really good way to cross thread it and create another problem down the road. Always hand start them slowly to start it, then you can use a socket wrench to tighten it.
Guys, you can get a Texas TollTag which will charge a credit card on file, and will work in Texas, Oklahoma (and potentially Kansas too). I live in Iowa but travel to Waco frequently and my K-tag (Kansas) works in OK and TX.
I was so nervous for you stranded on that highway with cars flying by you! That must have been very scary. I know I wouldn't have wanted to be in that situation. I'm glad you were able to change the tire safely and be on your way. Maybe you need more good luck charms besides just Chuck.
Thank you both for the video I'm glad your ok & didn't have a complete blowout with the tire. I guess keep an eye on all your vehicles at least once or twice a month
Gosh you guys. I literally feel so bad for you all. Such nice people and a lot of random bad luck. It is okay to sometimes feel like why us. Sending good vibes your way!!! Thank you for sharing your ups and your downs. Xxoo
Love your adventures and your attitude. You probably already know this but with so many vehicles that you keep changing , be a good idea to have basic tool kit in each for such emergency’s as tyre changes . I have a few vehicles here is Australia 🇦🇺, and all have a dedicated basic toolkit to get me out of trouble including proper jacks and blocks to get me out of trouble in isolated places… hoping to never have to use them 😊 Look forward to your alluded epic adventures ….. ❤️😊👍
Every journey throws up at least one problem so the fact that you’re almost constantly making big journeys it’s no wonder these issues arise. Excellent video, have fun and stay safe guys 😁👍❤️❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧
Eric, What you need to do is, get a 2 x 10 about 2 feet long and lay it in the bed of your truck. The next time you have a flat on your trailer run the good tire on the 2 x 10 and that will raise the flat off of the ground and you won't need a jack to be able to take the flat off.
Thank you for talking about the toll road when we drove cross country Arizona to New York, we avoided the tolls just because didn’t want to pay for the pass device that goes on your window. If I had known they take cash we would’ve gone that way.
Allison and Eric, I am sorry about all the things that went wrong on your travels, but the two of you make me laugh so hard. I love watching your travels, and your commentary is priceless. Safe travels. Sending Hugs 🤗🤗
I was pleasantly surprised that you didn't make a overly dramatic tag for this video. I enjoy all of your videos and share your troubles and sorrows. Thank you❤
You can buy electric scissor Jack's and impact lug wrenches that connect to your car battery or power point to keep in your car/trailer. Makes changing a tire fast and easy!
You guys deserve the best things to happen. Sending positive energy into the universe for you. I'm glad you made it off that highway safely and also got Chuck fixed. Hugs from Australia
You poor kids, when it rains it pours!! But you are both right could of been a lot worse. Main thing everything is fixed no one was hurt and you spent some much needed time with family. Safe travels my friends...❤🙏
I called road side assistance and they didn't bring a big enough jack either. So Iinstead I used leveling blocks to drive the front tire up on then I was able to change back tire. Just like your seneario.
I did not know La Croix made a cola. Nice! My FIL's car broke yesterday, and he had the same problem. I am not sure why tow truck drivers don't have tools. You guys can't catch a break. Stay safe! Hopefully, better luck is coming your way!
Hi Guys Messaging from Australia. You need to get a wheel alignment done on the van, otherwise those tires will go the same way. Common problem with all vans.
Y'all are an absolute HOOT! You are both so real and your videos are AWESOME! World Class!! That gag about jacked up etc. was HILARIOUS!! I truly LMAO!! Great video, Ranks in my Top 3 all time of your videos!! ❤️
It’s terrifying seeing you two just sitting in the car. Here in the Netherlands first thing I learned in driving school, is to wait outside of the car, behind the guardrail (if there is one). To use a warning triangle thingy, and to use the hazards.
One of my biggest fears is a tire issue when traveling with the trailer. Glad it didn’t cause too much damage and y’all got off the road safe. Safe and happy travels y’all. That Freudian slip with the jack though…🤣
I think you guys need to get some emergency road hazard triangles for the next time… I really hope there’s not next time… Love your channel and I look forward to every video release!
Keep up the good vibes and good attitude!! Crazy about the tire blow out! But for your brakes it might be the brake booster or the one way valve that is attached to it, it works with vacuum. The one way valve might be faulty! Just a suggestion! Drive safely
An alternative to using a jack is to drive up on levelers (if you have them with you). Glad you guys survived all that. Dealing with roadside "assistance" is frustrating because they either take all day, don't end up helping or still end up charging you an arm and a leg
No trooper stopped by? In NY they go by often. Getting drivers and their vehicles off the shoulder is a priority. Help is radioed in and a tow truck driver who isn’t on a vital call must let that call go and respond to a situation such as this.
Irons in the fire is the term and comes from having a bunch of branding irons in a fire to heat. During the cattle roundups of old, the calves’ ownership would be figured out by the mothers and then the owner’s branding irons would be selected for use.
Did you know you can get toll pass for all states. EZ pass, Uni pass, Sun pass, there are lots of different ones. You put it on your windshield or dash. You should should check it out.
Poor Jeff! You should turn him around so he can see the view of where you’re going! Then turn him back around, looking into the RV when you stopped at someplace for the night. I think that will bring you guys better luck.
We had one of the 'china bomb' tires on our travel trailer blow on the interstate. Terrifying! Good to keep a bottle jack handy. We had tire sensors, but only alerted us about a half second before it blew. Luckily a trooper was kind enough to sit behind us with his lights on to keep people away and helped block for us to merge back on the highway. Glad you were ok!
I almost commented on the last video when y’all took off in the truck & trailer thinking I hope they drive by a tire shop and have them get a lookover on the tires. 🤦🏼♂️
You two always overcome the obstacles! I know it was stressful, but it’s inspiring for you to share “how to” when the @*it hits the fan! Great video guys! ~Cara 😊
When the storms of life assail you And the waves overturn your boat Don’t worry about what might have been Just lay on your back and float ( better days ahead friends)
You guys are so fun and entertaining to watch! I'm curious what's so interesting in Missouri... I mean, you have family there... But my grandson just moved with his in-laws to Missouri without a plan, just a big motorhome! Then my granddaughter's boyfriend's family is moving to Missouri! I guess it gives me reason to go see what Missouri looks like! Haha! I'm so glad things went much smoother than they could have and you arrived safely! Stay safe and be happy! ... Looking forward to next time!
Pro tip: since it is a dual axle just drive the other tire up on a couple of leveling blocks, no need to use a jack. Also highly recommend getting a cordless impact wrench at harbor freight, they are not too expensive, that way you can have the tire changed fast like a NASCAR crew before a semi runs into you. I have had a few trailer blowouts so I get quicker each time.

Thanks for stopping to help them! Most excellent!
Hey John thanks for helping them! You're a patriot! ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻✌🏻
Well done, John!
Good job John..you da Man!
You're a legend for stopping and helping!
Fords have bad brake boosters. The brakes still work but you have to push them reaaly hard like you stated.
Black Series are notorious for tire, wheel and axle issues. Most US dealers are no longer sticking them due to various issues. Good luck.
You can tell they are genuine in their videos. If the world was even hslf as nice and happy as they are, it would be such a great place to live...
Watching you guys is my TH-cam highlight of the week. Even when things go wrong you still remain upbeat.
From my almost 60 year career of driving you - name - it, and as a professional driving instructor, you should follow this advice as well as anyone else who is reading this: if you have a tire blow up on either a tow vehicle or a towed vehicle, do not, do not, DO NOT change it on the interstate!
Drive on it slowly to the next exit, or spot where you can get away from traffic.
If you ruin a wheel, that's perfectly OK, because wheels can be found rather inexpensively. Morgues and emergency rooms are considerably more costly.
Any trailer with two axles can be driven a short distance to get off the highway on three wheels.
Check your tyres regularly
Good advice!!!!
1000% I would never even consider doing what they did. I’d rather drive on the rim than die on the interstate. This is insane.
Love you two. I’m living your adventures, fun and love through you. Funny and kind people. You have never failed. God’s blessings. Stay young and have fun everyday. My name is Neftali from Tucson.

Wishing you guys all the best. Now you have to have the truck and the trailer looked at to see why the tires are not wearing evenly.
Welcome back to Missouri! That's really bad when road side service is no help!!
Wow thats was scary. 😱 what a a great Guy coming to your rescue😊 got off that Highway as quickly as possible 🫣.
Thats lovely you got time to spend with Family 🥰 pleased every thing has been sorted 🙏 looking Forward to to your next adventure
Take care have Good week 🥰

God Bless you❤
I love the Ni Cola!!! And nobody carries it!
Right?! I think we've only seen them in 3 out of the hundred or so stores we've been in over the past few month.
How funny LeCroix we bought a whole flat of hibiscus Add Malibu rum
Good luck to you all.

Yikes! Keep on Trucking! It is, indeed, part of the Adventure!!!
Guys, you can get a Texas TollTag which will charge a credit card on file, and will work in Texas, Oklahoma (and potentially Kansas too). I live in Iowa but travel to Waco frequently and my K-tag (Kansas) works in OK and TX.
Good luck with the next Adventure 😊

Sorry you had so many problems. You have a good attitudes about it. Glad you made it.
You'll be looking with fondness back to these memories and adventures 😊
Happy you made it home safe. Take a break and enjoy some Family time. 😊
Thank you for talking about the toll road when we drove cross country Arizona to New York, we avoided the tolls just because didn’t want to pay for the pass device that goes on your window. If I had known they take cash we would’ve gone that way.
Love how upbeat you all are with all the crazy issues
Allison and Eric, I am sorry about all the things that went wrong on your travels, but the two of you make me laugh so hard. I love watching your travels, and your commentary is priceless. Safe travels. Sending Hugs 🤗🤗
Roadside assistance with no tools? Very helpful...
So glad you guys are safe. A tire blowout could have been a real danger. Then brakes. Phew. Look forward to your videos every week. Keep safe
I was pleasantly surprised that you didn't make a overly dramatic tag for this video. I enjoy all of your videos and share your troubles and sorrows. Thank you❤
Glad it all worked out, with nothing more serious. Good luck on your plans.
Sorry about all your issues but you both still managed to put together a fun video to keep us in the loop. Looking forward to the surprises! ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻👍🏻
Two of my favorite vloggers. You guys stay safe out there on the highway and byways.
Endless Problems continue 😅😅
Great work team
I had AAAPlus for years! They are perfect roadside assistance. Go Triple A Plus!
Good luck guys and hope all goes well ❤
You can buy electric scissor Jack's and impact lug wrenches that connect to your car battery or power point to keep in your car/trailer. Makes changing a tire fast and easy!
YOU GUYS...are just...TOO...DAMN...CUTE. BIG HUGS
You guys deserve the best things to happen. Sending positive energy into the universe for you. I'm glad you made it off that highway safely and also got Chuck fixed. Hugs from Australia
Yikes. Glad you are ok after all that. I will remember about the cash tolls in Oklahoma, I think I may be making a trip out that way later this year.
You poor kids, when it rains it pours!! But you are both right could of been a lot worse. Main thing everything is fixed no one was hurt and you spent some much needed time with family. Safe travels my friends...❤🙏

Oh no! Such a bummer...you think you're saved and then you're back to square one. Sorry he had one of our unlucky types of days 👎
You had a very expensive week. Glad you made it safely. 😊
Hi Guys
Messaging from Australia. You need to get a wheel alignment done on the van, otherwise those tires will go the same way. Common problem with all vans.
It's a common problem with cars as well. Tyres should be rotated every now and again to ensure even wear.
@@PlanesTrainsEverything yep, I get mine rotated often when serviced
So glad you are safely home. Love your adventures but not when potentially dangerous for you both.
Oh my, sending you good positive vibes for your next travels! ❤
LaCroix is made here in LaCrosse Wi. If you ever get up this way, you may be able to find it.
Glad you made it through all that safe.
600K! congrats guys! great channel!
What a trip!! Family time is so important ❤️ love you guys🎉
Y'all are an absolute HOOT! You are both so real and your videos are AWESOME! World Class!!
That gag about jacked up etc. was HILARIOUS!! I truly LMAO!! Great video, Ranks in my Top 3 all time of your videos!! ❤️
Aww, thank you!! Glad we can keep you laughing with us through all the adventures (and misadventures) 😆

wow its important to get tyres checked glad that it wasn't worse and you got the brakes sorted on Chuck the truck
One of my biggest fears is a tire issue when traveling with the trailer. Glad it didn’t cause too much damage and y’all got off the road safe. Safe and happy travels y’all. That Freudian slip with the jack though…🤣
Way to go, John! I’d trip out if I had the opportunity to help you guys.
I think you guys need to get some emergency road hazard triangles for the next time… I really hope there’s not next time… Love your channel and I look forward to every video release!
Glad you all .ade it safe. Please enjoy your family time ❤️
Thanks John.
You can get a Txtag toll tag that can be used for all Toll Roads in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. It’s a total lifesaver
New Property! Great News....
Keep up the good vibes and good attitude!! Crazy about the tire blow out! But for your brakes it might be the brake booster or the one way valve that is attached to it, it works with vacuum. The one way valve might be faulty! Just a suggestion! Drive safely
An alternative to using a jack is to drive up on levelers (if you have them with you). Glad you guys survived all that. Dealing with roadside "assistance" is frustrating because they either take all day, don't end up helping or still end up charging you an arm and a leg
You looked great when your hair was blown off your face during the tyre change. Very handsome. Brenda
No trooper stopped by? In NY they go by often. Getting drivers and their vehicles off the shoulder is a priority. Help is radioed in and a tow truck driver who isn’t on a vital call must let that call go and respond to a situation such as this.
FYI... a Kansas, Oklahoma, or Texas toll tag work in all three states.
Sounds like a bad vacuum pump possibly some of the older diesels have vacuum brake boosters and use a vacuum pump for the booster
That's Good Sam for ya! Our experience was bad too. Switched to Coach-Net. Way better!
Irons in the fire is the term and comes from having a bunch of branding irons in a fire to heat. During the cattle roundups of old, the calves’ ownership would be figured out by the mothers and then the owner’s branding irons would be selected for use.
And a piece of wood for under your jack for muddy or uneven grounds!!❤
Come to our Airbnb in Amsterdam! 😃
Did you know you can get toll pass for all states. EZ pass, Uni pass, Sun pass, there are lots of different ones. You put it on your windshield or dash. You should should check it out.
Poor Jeff! You should turn him around so he can see the view of where you’re going! Then turn him back around, looking into the RV when you stopped at someplace for the night. I think that will bring you guys better luck.
I meant the bear. Maybe I got your names for things wrong 🤔
You could have used the trailer brake to help slow you down. Unless you use a electronic curt inline brake controller, then it may be difficult.
We had one of the 'china bomb' tires on our travel trailer blow on the interstate. Terrifying! Good to keep a bottle jack handy. We had tire sensors, but only alerted us about a half second before it blew.

I love you guys so much! I've been watching since 2017 and your attitudes are so positive even when situations are sketchy. You guys rock🎉
Check your power steering pump fluid. That provides boost to your brakes so if its low on fluid it will also effect your brakes.
You two always overcome the obstacles! I know it was stressful, but it’s inspiring for you to share “how to” when the @*it hits the fan! Great video guys! ~Cara 😊
🤣 Thanks, Cara!
I had a scary blowout with my rv going 70... fishtailed but regained control, scary for sure!!!!!
Oh no!! So glad it wasn't worse 🙌
Ya'll are funny!
Its legit issues with ya'll ,
Makes me want to purchase a rustic 1970s camper and head out on the open road!!❤❤❤
Check the break fluid!!!!!
You guys! This could be a script for a Hollywood movie!
boosters are a common failure on those trucks. ford had a recall back in the 90’s on that issue
you have a lot of bad dad jokes and I must when you said ....we can't get a break that made me smile
They are wearing unevenly probably because you need a larger drop for the hitch.
When the storms of life assail you
And the waves overturn your boat
Don’t worry about what might have been
Just lay on your back and float
( better days ahead friends)
so fear really holds you guys back. Hope you can get over all that.
I just love your video’s. You have so much fun.
You guys are so fun and entertaining to watch!
I'm curious what's so interesting in Missouri... I mean, you have family there...
But my grandson just moved with his in-laws to Missouri without a plan, just a big motorhome!
Then my granddaughter's boyfriend's family is moving to Missouri!
I guess it gives me reason to go see what Missouri looks like! Haha!
I'm so glad things went much smoother than they could have and you arrived safely!
Stay safe and be happy!
... Looking forward to next time!
Missouri rocks! Sooo many things to do in Missouri. For instance, did you know the lake of the Ozarks has more shoreline than the east coast?
Nice job with the tire change! That "road side assistance" was appalling 😳
Good luck with what you're wishing for!!❤❤❤
I love your adventures
