    Never a good idea to haul an LP tank inside a vehicle. You can get a bracket that you could bolt to the camper and haul it that way. You do not want that tank to suddenly vent inside your vehicle.

      I'm a fan of dark beer, like Porters and Stouts, so I kinda like "mud", but Amber doesn't seem to be a fan as I don't think I'd ever seen her drink anything but IPAs or Pilsners.

    Be sure and seal any place on roof where water can enter. Look in the front corners of of the over head for water damage. Good deal on camper. Lance is one of the top 5 makers. Find a fuse you can pull or have a hidden switch to disable motor so some tweeker can't steal your truck. Educate your self on truck and camper. With your crew cab you have a lot of extra storage. Drive slow when windy and double your stopping distance>. Learn your battery so they last. Be safe.

    I loved Destin Beach. It was gorgeous. I was driving back to CA, from FL, after visiting family in FL. I was staying close to the Gulf, figuring it would be cooler than driving inland. It was a beautiful place to take a shower al fresco, too, to get a hygiene reset, and get the road grime off. Like you, I pretty much had the place to myself, in mid August, though.
    Your vids are so inspiring. I enjoy Amber's beer reviews, though I prefer more dark or amber beers, her descriptions tempt me to maybe try a lighter beer.
    We sincerely hope your FL people came through Ian as so many are affected, are ok. Our prayers for our brothers and sisters in FL.
    The truck camper is good choice in that you could drop the camper, still live in it, if you're going to be in one place for awhile, using just the truck to get around. But you ladies roam, don't see that happening much! I suspect there will be some interesting times ahead.
    Winston was looking more enthusiastic about Amber's venison burger than Amber! He's one lucky pup, being able to go to all these great spots and do his job... watch over both of you.

Yes, interesting times ahead. XOXO.

    I just found your channel and I’ll subscribe. I’m currently in the United Kingdom but we are selling up to move back to America soon. Until we know where we want to live we will be driving around the country in an RV with our dog.
    We intend to buy a house with land and possibly have a small RV Park nearby. I’m very fond of PTown and love New England which is within our price range provided we have a strong £v$ on arrival. Firstly we need to find an RV but unlike you guys we need space. I have just finished a year of chemotherapy and it’s not been a success so I feel like living life to the full.
    I’d be very interested in seeing the interior of your van should you be so inclined. I hope we can meet up somewhere along the road. If we do have an RV Park we will offer you a great vacation for free.
