    My husband and I have watched a lot of your videos and now with self isolating we will be catching up on the older ones. We just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work you put into them and keep on driving when you can. Stay safe. Oh and we are loving the van.

    Those rattles can be a nuisance in a van or RV. We can hear them in the background. Good luck quieting them down. We're also watching and waiting for The Bloom. Lots of cool drives through the desert foothills. Thanks for sharing the ride.

    Great to see you back out on the road! Nice to watch you build your van, but plumbing is boring. Traveling is exciting! Can't wait to see the flowers in bloom and even though we've never taken route 66 yet, we know exactly what to expect!! Enjoy it!

    I reckon that van pulls really good up the hill, your right about the wind, especially a side on blow, feels like a row boat on windy water, just bobbing around like a cork, fuel economy is fantastic too

    never seen oatman that empty before...the backroad to oatman is slow going, but interesting. Only did it once. Last couple of times i drove the laughlin entrance. Van looks good with all the essentials. Love the cloud formations with all the rain/humidity. Looking forward to the wild flowers....be safe

    Looks nice, you did a good job! Beds always take up so much room.
    If I had that set up, I would have the bed fold up. But since I no longer sleep on my back.
    Im thinking vibrator/
    Massage chair that lays back!

    How about putting a piece of electrical tape over the cabinet latch magnet? The magnet will still work and maybe the plastic on the electircal tape will prevent the squeak.

    Arizona only puts up guardrails if the drop is a couple of thousand feet. Fish Creek Hill comes to mind.

    We've been enjoying your videos for quite sometime now. Keep up the good work. We look forward to seeing your new adventures this year now that the van build is finished. We would be interested to know what kind of cameras you use. From the few shots we've seen of the dash camera through the windshield and shadows of the hand held, it looks like they are the same type/model. We'd like to get something that does as nice a job for our own use. Thanks!

    Hi Russ, Enjoy your videos. Great narration. What rigs have you had in the past, and why did you go to the sprintervan now? I'm thinking of moving up to a class c from a 13'fiberglass trailer I have now. Don't want to tow anymore.
    What do you think?

    I've had to find squeaks in vehicles. You really need someone else to drive to be able to track the noises down.

    Dear RVerTV. I have 2012 MB Sprinter V6 Diesel with 5 speed automatic transmission. 35,000 miles. Perfect condition, but it has one important limitation. My Sprinter has excellent acceleration and hill climbing ability, but on highways it's unable to exceed speed 85 mph because of speed governer incorporated into Computer Module. Is it true, that Mercedes doesn't install those speed limiters on Sprinters, starting model year 2019? Did you try to go faster than 85 mph on your RV? Thanks

    Those air tabs you were talking about... You will never save enough money in fuel to pay for them. If they really worked every trucking company in the US would have them on their rigs.

  • @bacino2552
    @bacino2552 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not many breathing humans where you travel. Lucky for that. Van looks super SHARP, wow! Oatman AZ. I wonder if it was named for a gal I read about in my Overland Pioneer books, a white girl kidnapped by Indians, forgot her first name. Last name Oatman, the natives tattooed her chin in deep ink. She was kept as a wife & had 2 kids, later years the whites found her and took her back without her kids. She died from missing her children, never recovered. Sad. Wish I'd seen the West in 1800's. It must have been amazing. Isn't that the donkeys spot? Thought so. I SPY little spots of YELLOW flowers. Wish I was somewhere besides where I am!! I love those burros, I'd stop and pet them & give them food.

  • @bacino2552
    @bacino2552 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wondering if AZ all shut down like we are in ILLINOIS. UGH. We are supposed to not gather in groups more than 10, I'm a hermit by nature but this is crazy. No restaurants only carry out or delivery, feels like jail or Nazi Germany. Hope there's a good reason.

    Too bad you weren't in the city of Montebello, CA. It's one of the highest taxed cities in So Cal with horrendous streets and sidewalks. The city council was voted out once and they had they spheres to try and run again! I've been on those roads you drove on before. No comparison to Montebello's!
