I love how you two really respect each other and work together as a team.
Thanks for the compliment....we are best friends and the last 43 years have been wonderful! Have a great weekend.
@@SuiteTravels How far in advance do you have to reserve with TT? I am thinking of getting a used Platinum membership with them. It seems all the campgrounds are filling up so fast
@OceanBreeze It just depends on the park and time of year. We scheduled this one 120 days in advance, but we just reserved an Encore park in Arizona for the end of January without any problem.
Is this place a better deal than Ft Wilderness at Disney World? I saw that Disney World was charging as much as $150 a night for an RV spot which is just ridiculous. I assume this place is much cheaper and offers as many amenities
No shady spots .No trees not much of a caravan place.But uou do have large vehicles there. So l can understand that . Love your rig . Nearly retired riad train driver from Australia 🇦🇺cheers
man brings back the good old days of camping with our 5th wheel and f250.
Does that mean you're not camping anymore John? Camping makes some great memories!
Backing up that rig, nearly flawlessly on the first try. Bravo!
Huh? Dam near missed the pad. Cut in about 12 feet to late.
Naa jkn, a lil tight with a 16' wide road long tractor and rearward trailer axles.
i in Kitchener Ontario Canada and have 25 inch of snow and tonight it will 6 f and Tuesday night will be -22. It so nice that you look so happy. Just the sun for me. You have a grant time. Thank you for your U Tube. The Glendenning Family
We're so glad we could bring a little sunshine into your day Stephen! We appreciate you coming along. Stay warm and have a great week!
We’re in Wenatchee and we got 26” of snow last week. Today is the first day above freezing. Have fun guys.
YUK! That doesn't sound like much fun. Hope it warms up for you soon....
Yep was all good Mav. Ole Steve-O. Deisel always stubborn in deep freeze. Ha. I like the rig; perfect addition for your needs. 🚌🥶🥶
That rig is the nicest I have ever seen! Rockstars! Enjoyed the video.
❤️🌴🐈🐈🐈🌴🏴☠️
Thanks Florida Man! As you can tell, we love our home. We appreciate you coming along!
Welcome to Florida, I hope you have a happy stay in our Sunshine State, a pleasure to greet you.
Thanks so much Ariel. We are having a great time in your wonderful state. Sure are a lot of people though....
Yep, we are really feeling sorry for you guys, 10:30 in the morning in SE Michigan 12*f :)
Oh that doesn't sound like fun. Spring is just around the corner!
Awesome video nice to see everything is good y’all stay safe and God bless
Thanks Dwight! We're having a great time.
That's definitely the 5.30am look....safe travels ms Kelly and husband
LOL....Kellie hates it when I pull the camera out in the morning! Have a great weekend.
Welcome to Florida! LOL! 😆 we have a tear drop and can’t find anywhere to camp unless we Boondock and we live here in FL…because of the snowbirds. I enjoyed the video…be safe.
Thanks Maryj! Welcome to Florida is right....so many people this time of year! Oh well, the weather makes it bearable. Thanks for coming along and have a great week!
We have the same problem. EVERY YEAR! I spent this past Saturday booking 3 trips so far for this year before the snow birds came back! 😜 I was able to get us a site at Ortona Lock for a couple days during the week! 🎉
@@rebeccagangi4228 I just found one two night in Feb and one three night in March…nothing else..
@@MaryOKC I meant to say 2 days in March at Ortona Lock. We scheduled a 4 day trip to Oscar Scherer in September & Myakka River in October (this year) hoping to book 1 more the first part of April otherwise it gets too hot down this way. 🤷🏻♀️
I hate these giant monolith rv's.
Thank you for sharing the information of park. Great video 📹 👍
Thank you so much! We appreciate you coming along.
Hey guys, I love your clips. They are just amazing. And you are too. Both of you. I am from Czech republic. I love America and dreaming about the same life in future like you do. Wish you great days full of love and luck.
Thank you Burny. Welcome to the community!
I usually get there around two in the afternoon when I go there. You can always move the next day if you don’t like your spot.
Wow... an excellent share, thanks, guys!
Hi guys 👋... I agree with miss Kelly I am not a morning person either... However Jeanne is.🥰... Thanks for the video ...you have explained a lot and you have answered a lot of my questions... We are looking forward to when you get to Tampa to explain how you parked there... Thanks again... You gotta stay safe...J&A
Thanks guys. Hope all goes well with your daughter....keep us posted.
@@SuiteTravels thank you 😊
Omg a conga line into to the park. Yes, like a boat launch.
Shade trees are nice but the leaves fall on the roof and on top of the slides.
I'm still giggling at you guy's doing the dosey doe with your rigs. I have a good imagination and could see it. All you needed was a little western square dancing music. My giggling started when Jim was asked how he got his car up on the back of the tractor. Jim says It's a smart car, we just say up (while snapping his fingers). That's funny. So glad you were able to get the spot by the lake. That for sure is a game changer. I've got my coffee ready Kelly. haha
Glad you enjoyed it Lynn....Kellie says come on over and you can sit on the patio with her! We wish we had videoed the moving. Some drone footage would have been perfect with some square dance music! Thanks for coming along and stay safe....
Start 8 or 9 stop at 3 have a beer at 4
Sounds like a great plan! Have a wonderful weekend.
I take it you are a former driver, hence the Westernstar truck to pull your 5th wheel. Still gives you that feeling!!!!! I love it! Westernstar= The only star that matters!!!!!
LOL....nope! Our WS sort of fell in our lap. We were looking for a class 8 truck and this one was on the market with everything we wanted. Sometimes the Lord blesses us and we just need to say thanks. We appreciate you coming along Lamar....have a great week!
@@SuiteTravels well there's only a few things that normally fall in your lap... Keys, wife and kids...lol maybe a dog from time to time....lol safe travels and you guys have a great week as well. I drive for a living, hence my statement... I'll be on the lookout for you guys when I'm out on the road.
ST, HELLO, I saw a couple you know,,inderectly, They also went to the TAMPA SHOW, no need for, but they looked. A small trailers,& they ALLhad a spacious shower/toilet,and great sleeping accommodations . Where you are now looks NEW & lovely , large pads, I saw water hookups, not sure about power, we are cold here as I watch this video,it’s 38*F, Maybe snow SUNDAY,
ENJOY , till next time STAU WELL,,GOD BLESS YOU ALL, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ohhhh....there's that 4-letter word! Hope you stay warm and safe. Have a great weekend!
Enjoy!!! It’s 70 here in East Texas today. But 45 degrees Saturday. So enjoyed that beautiful Florida weather.
That's the one thing we don't like about Texas Diane...it can be 80 degrees one day and 35 the next! Have a great weekend.
Glad you got a site right next to your friends
We are too Marylu! It's been a lot of fun and we were able to help each other complete some projects on our rigs. Thanks for coming along and have a wonderful week!
Thank you for all the info. Looks like a great place to stay. I am jealous over the weather. lol. Be safe and safe travels. Hugs
Thanks Gwen. Hope you don't get snowed on this week! Hugs to you....stay warm!
Park employee,: how did you get the Smart car up there? 🤣 You: it's a smart car we just say up as you snap your fingers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😜
That's become our standard answer Marie! It usually get a chuckle.
I do believe I saw the grey Volvo & tow @23:12 in Mobile Alabama on Hwy 98 headed west towards Mississippi today 1/25/22. I rubber necked a few miles up 98 trying to get good look. I do admire yawl's rigs! 🤓
😮 Yup....that was us! Too bad we didn't get close enough to wave!
Great video! I like the fact that you two are real and don’t tried to be cleaver and goofy. Very good information
Thanks Alive....we really try and be ourselves. Sharing information and building a great community is what we're trying to do. Welcome and thanks for coming along!
And as usual a great video folks I'm glad you're enjoying yourself and enjoying the warm weather I'm going to be heading back to New York Tuesday in that cold dreary place so I envy you enjoy it while you're there we'll talk to you later safe travels God bless
Thanks Allan. Hope you don't get caught in the storm that's headed that way. Keep us posted on your future travels.
@@SuiteTravels I'll keep You updated.
What a lovely couple.
Wish I was home..we would have liked to meet you two..we live in Eustis, not far from Orlando. Someday our paths will cross, ride safe.
We hope so too Charlie! Thanks for coming along and hope to see you down the road.
It’s Sunday January 16 and it’s snowing here in southwest Virginia. I’m so tired of winter and I wish I was in Florida. Have fun.
That doesn't sound like fun Bob....that's one of our 4 letter words! We've got plenty of sunshine - come on down! Have a great week.
Big Rig big travels ❤❤❤love Lisa
Good job getting it all on there. Little jealous you guys there in that warm weather, we're stuck here in the snow. our daughter and I joke about it she's there in Newport Richie Florida .
It's been fun....and the sun puts a smile on our faces for sure! Hope you have a great weekend Denny and stay warm.
I'm glad you fit! Grocery stores suffered in Spokane from the passes being closed last week.
We're not missing the snow Jacque....hope you're staying warm!
Glad you guys found a spot at TTO. Sometimes it can be tough finding a spot. You are right about the 12:00 game. You have to get there as close to 12 as possible. The middle area is perfect for all of the families with kids. You guys got a perfect site. Hope to see you at the show
This is an awesome spot! Hope to see you there.
Wife and I just can’t resolve ourselves to spend however many thousands of dollars on something when we hear that thousands trails is not putting back into their parks . Have heard that many times. It also looks like you have to play to many games in that park to find a good site.Also we are not fond of Florida and the ocean in general, the mountains are our draw. For now we are following the gulf coast into Texas to Corpus Christi . And on west from there.
It's not for everyone Tony....but we had to try it at least once. We love the mountains too, but our Florida experience has been great!
Please DO NOT waste your money on thousand trails. We've been members since 2003. We've stayed in the parks coast to coast to coast. It works for us. We've camped on texas, arizona and more than 80 days in california. This year. All parks were clean maintained well and many were being upgraded. With thousand trails my average cost per night is $4.00 for the entire year. So please DO NOT JOIN and all is well for us. 4 years full time. Living the dream
I love camping and i love your videos and rig but am not in Florida am in Allentown Pennsylvania i only camp on summer every year we go 7 or 8 times camping feels great especially when you go with your family god bless you my friend keep on with your nice video and traveling to florida camping parks🙏🙏
Thanks for coming along Raul. Hope you're staying warm and safe.
I live in a motor home so I can relate to this, I love the idea of having a truck 😀😀😀
We saw your rig in Orlando a month or so ago, was hoping to see you unload the car or load the car. TT Orlando is a great park. Will look for you next year.
Sorry we missed you Robert. Hope to see you on the road - make sure you wave!
Have a great time in Florida my friends. It’s 9 below zero this morning here in Upstate New York
😮 That doesn't sound like much fun Murph....come on down, the weather is great!
I wish we new about you guys and saw you when you were here. We saw you leaving. We are staying at TTO for a year, we love it here. Great video, we are the Crusader the first unit on Cabana road on the right.
Oh that's too bad....that would have been fun! Enjoy your time and hope to cross paths on the road!
Hi from queensland australia love your beautiful rig it’s absolutely awesome so safe travels
Hi TW....welcome to our community! We really appreciate you coming along!

Blessings to you and your family. Band of Brothers and Sisters. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks so much Gregory! Have a great week.
Welcome to the land of the "Big Black Rat", I am cleaning out he house on the NW corner of Mouseville, would offer moochdocking, but he subdivision has a couple turns that few Real trucks can make without running up over lawns.
LOL....thanks Nautigrin. We're enjoying our time here!
So good to see you're smiling faces. Happy New Year, Love you guys
The sun definitely keeps us smiling Sandy! Hope you're staying warm....love you too!
I just bought a 22 yr old camper for 3k. Fixing it up. Got to start somewhere lol
We are at 48 degrees today and about 2 hours of sunshine until the rain came back....nope I don't feel sorry for you guys!! 🤣 Beautiful RV park you're at. Looking forward to seeing your Tampa videos and walk thru of new rigs. Safe travels you guys!! 💜
Thanks Carol. Enjoy the sun and warm while you can. Looks like you're going to get hit with some more winter soon. Stay warm and have a great weekend!
Welcome to Florida lolololool And gets chilly in Florida
It's been a great experience Mike....and yes, we've now experienced chilly Florida! Have a great week.
@@SuiteTravels, 15 years ago we belong to TTrails but the CG did not look like that to us. It was absolutely beautiful looking were staying at. Have Fun. Soon we be hitting the road soon. In Sweet Freedom II.
You guys have a beautiful set up. Enjoy!
Thanks JRock....we certainly enjoy it! Have a wonderful week.
we were there over Christmas, we are not TT members, they put us in the older area, but was a decent place, we were there for Disney. about 30-40 min depending on traffic.
Geez... your just down the street from us!! I go to the Cagan Crossing Lowes all the time! Welcome to Sunny Florida!
Thanks! We've had a great time....but it's going by really fast. Thanks for coming along and have a great weekend!
I have been to this campground many times. Lowes is a very popular staging area!
Mexican Train is my favorite game. 😋 I have it on my phone.
It's so much fun to play! We're addicted. Thanks for coming along Shorty and have a great week!
Now that's nice setup
Thanks Tim. We really enjoy it....it's home! Have a great week.
Looks like a nice place. I'm jealous, y'all are in the warmth. It was 10 this morning here in OK.
Oh no Sandy. Hope you're staying warm.....time to get out and travel south!
@@SuiteTravels For sure!
Nice video guys.

Thanks Tommy. Happy new year to you as well! We're really looking forward to some great memories in 2022 and very happy you're coming along!
Thanks for the heads up! LOL We were at TTO in mid Oct 2021 and we were sent to the new section to pick our own site. It was nearly empty! We're coming back Mar 1, 2022 so now I'll know what to expect!! Those new sites are awesome! Thanks again! ~Lynette
They've developed this new numbering system for the peak season Lynette, so we're not sure when they drop it. It seems to work pretty well. Enjoy your time in TTO!
Train is a blast! We play every week with family, But for $$
It's VERY addicting!
very cool.. first time watchn ur vids, ive always wanted to do that RVLivng thing... everything that revolves around camping/rving has that atmosphere you cant find anywhere else... happy to see yous so, well, happy in ur vids... i live in the flkeys, so def see the snowbirds & their toys and yes,,, it is awesome if you like the water, island life & all that comes with it.. TY for sharing, brought a smile & giggle which is fun.. 😂 ... nothing but happiness & luv to yous,, gl 🤘😈

@@SuiteTravels safe travels ST,, 👊😁
Nice spot 😎🦅🇺🇸👍
It's been pretty nice Gary! Thanks for coming along and have a great weekend!
Thank you for the information on TTO. Glad you were able to get in and get a spot then move to a better spot. Glad you met up with Utubers. It’s good to meet up with good people. Glad that there is place you can park somewhere and wait til you can check in. Hope you had fun while you
were there. And safe travels to Tampa. Have a great weekend and week there and looking forward to seeing videos from there. See you soon!
Thanks Sherri. We're having a great time. Hope you're doing well and staying safe.
I would prefer an area with some tree shade. I live in Florida and know the difference shade makes on hot days.
But it's so nice in the winter! Have a great day Pappy!
another place for you in Ocala .Fl World Equestrian Center has Big RV parking
Thanks for the tip Jenna! We'll put that one on our list.
What a lovely couple! Thx for showing this amazing place!
Greetings from europe! 👋 😎

We're looking forward to it Don!
Happy New Year keep having fun because here in Canada it’s little snowy stay safe🇨🇦🥳😎🌊🎊
Thanks Emily! So far the new year is starting out great. Hope you're staying warm....have a great weekend!
Thank you for the info, Kevin and I are headed to sarasota, Florida in February , going to see his sister, we are so excited for warmth and sunshine!! Oconto Falls, Wi. Is 8, windchill of -5! Been getting the camper ready, funny packing shorts in our weather. Stay safe and healthy, and I hope to see your rig somewhere along the way!
Oh my goodness Connie....we certainly hope you have a safe drive south. We're so glad we could give you a taste of what you're going to find once you get here! Have a wonderful trip and be safe.
Impressive.
family and i love mexican train game
Muito lindo o local.
E seu big Trailer também parabéns 👏👏.
Aqui no Brasil ainda não temos essa estrutura toda.
Mais muito lindo🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤️👏🙏.
Thanks for your sharing the adventures with us!
Thanks for coming along David! We appreciate it.
Ah man i wanted to see them get the smart car off the rigg.
LOL....stick around. We're headed to Arizona soon!
I just retired from trucking two years ago of 43 years of driving a d have several questions. I do still have my CDL-A license due to the fact that someday I might buy a semi tractor to pull a fifth wheel.
Q1) do you need IFTA or Bingo stamp and plate or USDOT numbers to pull a RV?
We used a 4500 size unit and you would probably get better fuel mileage than a 454 gm powered truck. I tried Duramax and 5.9 Cummins and is not impressed with mileage and low on torque.
Q2) Is your base plate licensed for a gross weight gvw?
That's awesome Phil! No, we are a private truck, so no DOT numbers or license. Some states will require you to have special endorsements for weight/air brakes, but we are from South Dakota which doesn't require any special endorsements. Thanks for coming along and good luck with your dream!
We were a couple sites down from you by the retention pond in the Tiffin.
Oh that's cool Carol....you should have come over and said hello! Hope you have a blessed week.
Thanks for sharing this good to see another TTO campground. We live near the one y’all stayed at a couple months back when you visited your kids. And the one in Bridgeport has so much potential but it seems no money is ever spent there for improvement’s.
We agree James....this is the first park we've seen that is trying to upgrade and it's been a little frustrating. Maybe once they see how beautiful this has become they'll start moving to other parks.
Imagine taking one off those over Hardknott Pas (:
Still looks like longer, maybe drive through pads are needed.
They do have drive thru's back in section A, but they're real close together.
It's a really nice area of the park Daniel and we seem to fit just fine!
Was also in TTO new section just before Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed my two-week visit. When I arrived just after 1PM on a Tuesday, there was no staging in effect and still found a site easily - close to the pools. 😎🌴
That's awesome Scott. We've really enjoyed the park and seems you did too. Thanks for coming along and have a great week!
😊whh go
Brillant
For starters I enjoyed your Video and really loved your RIG!!!! I’m a future newbie that will be purchasing my very first travel trailer in March. So I watch countless videos like yours for the wealth of information that experienced RVers like the two of you provide. Everything is totally unknown for newbies like myself so I lean on people like you and thank you for your shared information. Hope to cross paths with the two of you one day and pray 🙏🏾 that you will give me a tour of your Rig. I only see rigs like yours on TV.
Congratulations on your new rig! You're doing it right....YT has a bunch of good information for you and we're glad you stopped by. Hope we cross paths on the road and looking forward to giving you a tour!
8:37 :Its a smart car ,We just say "UP" HE-HE-HE ,Good one!
We get the same question over and over Brian....so that's now our go-to response. Have a great week.
So jealous! Stuck in Michigan. Brrrrr
Brrr is right Michael. We'll try and send some sun your way! Have a great weekend.
love the rig!!!
OMG you guys are amazing id love to have a bomb fire and chat with you guys. You have a beautiful set up. I have a 2018 Silverado that pulls our 2022 transcend xlpor 247. This is my first time on your channel.
Thanks Ashley! We're glad you found us....welcome to the community.
Y’all did it
You cut out the best part. I wanted to see how you got you car off the truck. Thanks for the video
LOL....we've shown taking the car down in a number of our videos Steve. You'll just have to go look for it! Thanks for coming along and have a great week!
@@SuiteTravels Thanks I found them.
THANK YOU FOR DETAILED VIDEO
FROM AUSTRALIA
Thanks for coming along Robert! We appreciate it.
Nice rig. Stuck in Canada
Thanks Mark. We assume you mean stuck in the snow this winter. Hope you stay warm and spring arrives soon.
Yeah we like concrete pads too. If the CG doesn't have concrete pads it's not even an option. We don't even consider it.
Thx for the. Great video.
Thanks for coming along Dennis! We really appreciate you. Have a great weekend.
Hi guys wonderful video is the park dog friendly.
Glad you enjoyed it Gary. Yes, the park is dog friendly! Have a great week.
Awesome info,love the way you do your channel
Thank you David. We appreciate it. Have a wonderful weekend!
Has to be weird to go from driving a giant truck to a tiny car. From feeling safe and sound to feeling like being in a tin can hoping you don't get hit by a semi . lol.
Love watching your videos. Makes me jealous.
Awe thanks Susan.....but we don't want you to be jealous, we want you to imagine being there with us and make some memories!
