ON THE ROAD TO TEXAS (RV TRAVEL EP 93)

- We love TX and for good reason. RV parks with full hook-ups everywhere you look, large wide open space and diesel at every station. But more importantly, everyone seems to be so polite and friendly. This is a state we’re impressed with every time we visit. In this episode, we made our way to Mineola, TX through Amarillo. For those of you that live or know about Amarillo…yes, we missed so much! We didn’t know about the word famous RV museum or the 72 ounce steak at Big Tex until we left. However, we were being pushed by family to arrive as soon as possible for a family reunion dinner. So we’re not sure we could have given Amarillo the time it deserves. We need to save some places to visit on the next pass.

My cousin’s towel company is in 1,500 stores across the country. I’m sure you’ve seen them. She has naughty & nice towels, but they “hang tight” which is great for the RV. Great for gifts too! Check it out.

Tip #1 ~ Have a couple small rubber floor mats handy, put these down first then those little plastic things won't move on ya, they dig right into the rubber. Had the same problem at anchor down rv resort in Tennessee, beautiful place.
if the rubber mat not handy - try using 3 blocks on each wheel for the 2 high blocking. 2 high all at once can be too much at once.
You and your family are, in my opinion, the cream of the crop of RV video's. I smile more watching your site than any other. I also watch Nomadic Fanatic and LOLOHO. I am in Tampa area at Spanish Main resort for 2 years letting my heart recupe from fibulation. I continue my travels through you folks. Thank you ever so much.

You guys are just fun and funny! “I think I’ll do a walk around” 😂 Fantastic editing. You make this whole TH-cam thing look very easy (and I know it isn’t). The bit with Caleb in the backseat was just too funny. Hollywood (or maybe Broadway) is waiting for him. Your channel is way better than anything on TV. Thanks for all the inspiration as I gear up to launch into RV full-timing 🤗💕🌞🌲🚌
You're too kind! Thanks for being here.
" Wasn't I an experiment?"......Priceless
Love Texas... there’s a little something for everyone in Texas.
Get a 2X6 boards and paint them with Rubber paints for the leveling blocks so that they won't slip.
I've had so much trouble with those hi-tech plastic leveling blocks like you did that I carry some pressure-treated "patio decking" when I'm on hard pavement. On grass/gravel the plastic works fine, but I've pushed those things down the pavement just like you did, and it's not fun. . . . Enjoyed the video, as always!
Ok, now I’m getting sad in advance! Just thinking that soon Tory is going to be off to college and we are going to miss her as much as the family! :(
We after all, have “adopted” the kids thru this site! :) they have lots of “aunts & uncles”! Ok, and “grandparents” too! :)
It was a good video before you got to the leveling, then it was wonderful. Thanks
Lol. 2 years on the road and it can still take an 1 hour to setup on occasion :)
I just can’t stop laughing 😂
I’m so glad you enjoyed Texas. We live in New Mexico, transplanted from Texas. We stayed at the same RV Park you stayed also. We hope to meet you guys someday, we love watching your vlogs and have learned so much from you. We will be full timers within the next year and part time starting in May. Have a great time in Texas and have safe travels. God Bless you all.
I love it!! “Wasn’t I an experiment?” Awesome sense of humor!!
Lol @ 18.26 I thought I had a text.... I checked my phone and realized it was on the video!!
Great to tag-along!! Lovin’ the lovin’!!
Thanks! Lauri
Welcome to Texas. We came down in our 5er in 2013 and somewhere around the 2nd day, I said I am never leaving! :). Lately I've been in the Dallas area but it's March Madness so I'm in Austin (SXSW just started btw) while he's immersed in b-ball in Dallas. 😉. Just a hint from us, get the Flying J Good Sam's card so you can fill and pay at the pumps and don't have to go in and give the credit card and guess how much fuel to pay for and then get reimbursed like you do at Loves. I was so happy to find out about that when we were in WI. OH, and definitely stop at Buc-ee's. You HAVE to experience one while down here! There's one over by TMS that is brand new. There's a nice size one in Temple and Bastrop east of Austin. They're all over. Might head over to the book depository. Give yourself at least half a day there! And Southfork Ranch in Parker. And you have great timing because the bluebonnets are just starting to bloom. The state flower and they don't last long but boy are they show along the highway as your driving! Enjoy time here. :)
Marc I feel for ya trying to level the trailer in the Texas rain lol. But on a good note you guys are always welcome at Thanksgiving. Your turkey carving skills are top notch!
Lol. Thanks!
Lol. Thanks!
I live just north of Wichita Falls. Grapevine is a great getaway that we enjoy. Also...a truck carwash is just a truck wash right? :-)
Love it!!!! I love watching your videos. It makes me excited about RVing. Great Job as usual!!!
Hey we stayed at the Oasis last September. Nice, clean little RV park. Also, when we need to go 2 high with those yellow levelers, we put 2 down beside each other, then put one on top in the middle, locking the bottom 2 together. That way you are sort of building a ramp up to the 2 high part. Works for us, never had a problem with them scooting. We've been full timing since June '17 and love it. Love watching your videos!
There is a guy in downtown Amarillo that makes some pretty cool jewelry out of the paint chips that fall off of the cars.
Man I miss OTR. This video hit home for me. All that rain, loves truck stop, and seeing the sites thanks guys. Trucker for life.
Hey Mark...you still loving that diesel compared to the gas truck? I was going to get the F350 6.7 but heard they had issues. Now thinking the F350 6.2 gas to pull 13k around, any thoughts??
Not sure if anyone asked but did your rig end up having any leaks?
You guys should stop at a Buc ee's. It is a MUST in Texas. Great job on the videos. Awesome family.
Come to San Antonio and visit our Lone Star Brewery - it's the National Beer of Texas!!
Interesting fact; it was built in 1884 & was the first large mechanized brewery in Texas. Adolphus Busch, of Anheuser-Busch, founded it along with a group of San Antonio businessmen.
Bet you could have lived your whole life without needing to know this... LOL
Kidding aside - y'all seem like such wonderful people and loving family!! Would love to meet y'all in San Antonio!!
We'd love to spend more time in San Antonio. We'll be back!
Blue beacon. They wash semis and their trailers. I'm sure they would wash any rv too. They have an app too.
"It's like you're an experiment" "Dad, wasn't I an experiment" LMAO Gave me the best laugh yet!
Those ten Cadillacs are a wonderful bit of public art.
When we were in Waco I had to get everything unhooked and hitched up to take off and it was pouring. That really sucked. I can imagine those leveling blocks were a bit frustrating.
Oh dear. That last part had to be miserable. Safe travels.
May I suggest Anderson Camper Levelers 3604. We used them with our 2009 Keystone Cougar. When we upgraded to our 2017 Cougar 30rli, it came with an auto leveling system. LOVE it! ❤️ The layout of our new camper is similar to yours but we don’t have the bunks. Enjoy Texas!!
Margaret Flack I have the Anderson levelers. They work great on solid surface. I tried to use them on soft ground, not so good.
Learned something new about trucks! We jut bought a 3/4 ton to pull our new 5th wheel and I had no idea what DEF was. Made hubby get out of bed and explain it to me! Plus we're taking notes on all your helpful tips on leveling, washing etc. . .Look forward to Sunday nights! Find myself clock watching like an addict! All the best! :)
I pride myself on never having washed an RV - Blue Beacon for me :)
Just be sure to get it at the truck pump, it's only a couple dollars a gallon, as opposed to $13+ for the 2 gallon jug they sell inside. And remember, if you buy a hug to keep as extra in the truck, they do expire. DEF will start growing mold after so old.
Love your family. They are so fun.
Our driving through Texas story. It's Christmas time, we're going from California to Florida on I10. We are listening carefully to the weather, I even have my Weather Radio on, we're supposed to stop at El Paso for the night and they announce a MAJOR Ice Storm going through Central Texas. We stop for a bathroom break and the wind is so strong, we have problems opening the door. We cancel the El Paso reservations and make new ones for Houston. We're driving in a 1994 Ford Escort wagon, these cars are light, even fully loaded. We white knuckle it to Houston, through high winds and driving rain.
And we're glad we did, I10 was closed due to ice in the El Paso area. We kept on going to Jupiter, Florida, because that weather was behind us.
You all have a great family, creating great memories!
Welcome to Texas, my Home State! We drive from Dallas to Los Angeles at least once a year. We always joke about how El Paso is the halfway point! Enjoy your time here!
Pilot Flying J's have big Rig Diesel Pumps and Def pumps, fill our 26 gal tank in an incredible amt of time, so cool, but keep the cool videos coming :)
my home state.. cadillac ranch has always been special- Perot theater is in Texarkana.
Been following your vlogs since mid way through season one. I have a recommendation for you. If you don't already use it, I HIGHLY recommend RainX for all your window exteriors. It makes driving so much better and safer when it's raining. They also make a product called No Fog for application to the interior of your windows.
We've heard that and we use it! But I think the windshield solution removes the RainX. I need to apply more often.
Use the RainX windshield cleaning solution. It cleans and applies RainX with each use. I've used it for years.
Love your videos. The youngest son sitting in the middle making faces and doing little funny things is the cutest. Reminds me when my triplets was young and goofing off. It was the greatest feelings. Thanks for sharing your journeys with us. God bless you all.
Adopt me, I want to go with you. You guys are so much fun.
You guys should really consider traveling to hocking hills ohio it is so beautiful especially in the fall. There are so many hiking trails and attractions to see such as kayaking and horse back riding
We're planning on it! Don't know when yet, but it's on the list!
I love that place I live about 3 hours away and I’ve been there 4 times
Logan McKeever You are right about Hocking Hills. I live about 25 or so miles from there.
I would love to see you guys there we are 1 1/2 hours away😁
Great Video Guys love your New season keep it up hopefully we will meet up on the road one day God Bless you all
Great video! New subscriber and new TT owners!! Your videos have been so amazing and helpful! Thank you!!
Welcome Marissa!
Hey mark what happened to the bikes? You always had bikes that you road. Just curious. Love the videos.
They became too difficult to keep all 5 working. It seems easier to rent when we need them. But SN4 was mostly winter.
I don’t know if you’re still in Grapevine or not but check out the Winewood bar and grill north side of DFW airport.
Another great video! I just watched it at 1:00am in London. I'll be watching next week's video while I'm in Hyderabad, India. Keep 'em coming.
Just saying... I love that truck you have! I am a little curious about your fuel mileage compaired to your f150.
I think I'm getting about 12. F150 was 8.
Nice! That's really good considering the wind resistance.
Anyways love the vlogs and as always have fun and stay safe!😁
Just a little f.Y.I.. I have found that a lot of truck washes for big rigs will wash an R.V. also. They can be found near many truck stops and sometimes inside a truck stop. Blue Beacon is one name that comes to mind. I am a retired over the road truck driver myself so I have a bit of experience with them. I am also preparing for my own R.V. adventure's. I am starting out on the 6th of April to travel and see this great country of ours that I have driven past for so many years now. I hope to see y'all on the road someday. Keep up the great videos, I really enjoy all that you do.
Mark Zwerk have a great time! It's a great life. Keep the shiny side up. 😀
Love the vintage clip you thru in, sweet video!!
Welcome to Texas! We live two hours south of Amarillo. Howdy! I hope you enjoy the stockyards! They are really cool.
Oh yea, Texas is huge. Bet ya figured that out already! Would be so nice to meet ya! Our rv is only 21 feet and used sometimes. Be safe!
Hello KYD.... Love the videos and look forward to Sunday nights. We have been an RV family for 7 years but are more weekend warriors. I now have 4 girls under 8 and have over 40 nights planned this summer in Utah, CO, ID, and WY. Keep the shows coming. If you haven't done it I would love to see a show on your favorite RV/Truck accessories.
Love watching your videos and following your travels! I had the same trouble in my driveway with the slippery levelers. I cut up a yoga mat and put a piece under each one- they never slip now.
Enjoy watching your adventures. You should try the Anderson levelers. Much easier than the yellow blocks...
And Torry you go girl my wife said enjoy college 👍👍
Hi guys! Another great video. I have only flowen into to the big cities of Texas for market etc, but love it down there. I never could figure mom out as they went to quartsite every year, and I kept telling them get out and see more. They never did. So maybe will be my turn some day. Looks like you had fun with family always good. You might not like the rain, but you don't have to shovel it :-) surprised it's that cold down there. We are getting into the 40's ans sunshine. Loving it. Happy travels.
Mark, you should consider the worx powershot. It’s a handy portable power washer that uses drill 20v batteries. It’s great for RVs
DEF is a mixture of (typically) 2/3 deionized water and 1/3 urea. It's carefully regulated by the American Petroleum Institute. Technically, urea is derived from one of the byproducts of urine. But it's synthetically made, so no cats are ever harmed in the production of the fluid.24 Apr 2014
Didn't know what DEF is, I do now. A lot of cats must be grateful it's synthetically made. 😊
i have that verizon portable wifi also...it's great for working on the road
Enjoy your videos! We live in a small town on the Galveston Bay! Wondering if you guys will be visiting the Houston area.
If your going to the Stockyards.....gotta go to Risckys BBQ......holy cow it's tasty.
I know this is going to sound totally random........... so please don't judge! Marc, my husband loves your solid color, fitted polos that don't have any labels. Where do you get them from/what brand are they? He has stalked every one of your videos to see if you just happen to mention them.
Lol. I feel as awkward replying as your husband asking... they are Lulu. They are not cheap, but they hardly need to be washed, never smell, never wrinkle and last forever. shop.lululemon.com/p/men-ss-tops/Evolution-Polo/_/prod6020330?color=1966
Of course. I should have known. He loves all things lululemon. Thank you! Haha. Don't be! It's a total compliment.
Really good quality on this episode!
I love your videos and always look forward to see where y'all go and what y'all do in every place I'm from Texas only 3 hours from Amarillo and yes Texas has a lot to see , my dream is to travel to hopefully soon . Safe travels to your beautiful happy family
Loved the video! Do you have any hints on what to look for when looking for a place wash your RV? I know a truck wash... But if there isn't one....
I have no good ideas! Someone is coming by tomorrow to wash Grand Ginger :) I took tip #4
What does that cost? Just a rough ballpark figure.
Honestly that sounds like the best option to me as well. We have a fifth wheel and the height is a problem for me.
Let me know who you use and how you like them. I have used a good one in Arlington about $120 for my 40 ft and one in Pilot Point around Denton that was about $70. I'm always on the lookout for a good one. :)
someone mentioned "Blue Beacon" ??
I've follow a number of RV TH-camrs and Texas is a beauty of a State. Looking forward to your adventures. Quick shout out to the Wandering Wyatt's. 🇨🇦
They came to the meet-up. I wish I got footage with them. Lately the meet-ups have been crazy! Fun, but busy!
In Grapevine you need to eat at Bartley bbq. It used to be right down the road from the campground. We used to live there and loved it.
You folks need a TV SHOW!!!! Maybe Discovery Channel or Nat Geo could pick you guys up! Outstanding as always. Love watching your videos!
Welcome to the Lone Star State !!
Great video. I'm from TX. Now living in LA, CA with wife, 3 kids and another due at any moment (we're 2 days past due, lol) My wife and I are currently shopping for a 5th wheel toyhauler. May end up going with the Carbon 357 and tow with an F-250.
Your videos are entertaining and inspirational. Thanks :o)
Curious question, you ever think about using something like the Bal Products 28010 X-Chock? Not sure if you have used them before so I am looking for some experience feedback.
Are you guys aware of change with FMCA (Family Motorcoach Assoc) , they recently opened membership to 5th wheels and trailers. I mention this because of the fantastic Verizon deal they offer as part of membership - 25GB unlimited with a jet pack for 49.95 /month, after 25GB it reduces but 25GB is all at full high speed.
hey loved the video ,
Another great video. This one had me HOMESICK for Texas. BTW, how better is the new truck? Could the gas F250 do the job or diesel better? Is the diesel worth the additional cost? We're in the market for a new truck. Also Grand Design members.
Welcome to Texas. A ton of Host Harvest there. Let me say, Llama Farm. One child off to college, two more to go. Most people are excited, but I did not want my kids to leave. I adore them and our time together, until, I see how they are flourishing and I get to visit my stuff, since when we sold the house, they got first dibs on everything.
Wait, Trish cooked in a Walmart parking lot, does the new rig have a generator?
Blue Beacon Truck Wash or Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wash & Wax so you can wash with the slides out. Most RV parks will let you wash on site or hook to hose cleaner such as 30 minute outdoor cleaner, which is an amazing product for the awnings!
I love the shrink wrap idea!
Hey guys! Lovel your vlogs! BTW, we're Texans living in the Nashville area... Just watched you Texas video and have a suggestion... Listen to it in our Toyota Tundra. It has a subwoofer... Just the stock stereo system... If you can you might want to pull the eq down on 100hrz and below on the audio in the truck and on the road audio... Lots!!!! of rumble!!! :) Again, great job! You and some others have inspired us to get quickly to the place where we can hit the road... Blessings! Ron & Shirley
Nearly moved to the Grapevine / Southlake area. I really liked it there although the temperature extremes were a bit much...frost in January and 100+ in the Summer.
And I apologize, but I had to laugh...I’d be screaming at those chocks for slipping like that. You’ve got patience, sir!
OMGosh, wasn't I the experiment, LOL.
Beautiful videos as always. Thank You!! Jim
We just rolled in from TX last night. It was.....okay. We did Houston (Space Center) and then San Antonio-area. San Antonio was so packed with people it was hard to enjoy. Traveling in TX was okay: we have an older diesel, so those new-fangled, large nozzles don't work, but we still found fuel easily (love Love's). Drivers are polite (not the same in every state). Mixed luck with the KOAs we stayed at (Houston was good, San Antonio was only decent....not a great part of town). Ended up having to overnight in DFW at Cowtown RV park, which ended up being a pleasant surprise. Had a medical issue to deal with the required a trip to the ER.......that stunk, but not TX's fault. The most unfortunate incident: our window in the upper bedroom (5th wheel) somehow came open (it's an emergency exit window) and got ripped off the camper when a semi's stack caught it and finding a replacement is evidently the equivalent of searching for the holy grail. Also not TX's fault, but the overall experience left us with a bitter aftertaste.
The new rig is looking good!
I love Flying J the best... because they cater to RV's at most locations. We normally use a truck wash on long trips with the 5th Wheel or check at the campground office for an RV Wash service... LOL I am playing "catch up" with your videos... Thanks for sharing them and Save Travels!
Hey guys, love the videos. I'm in the process of watching them all, in order from day 1, while watching the news ones each week. I had been to every state by the time I was 14 with my parents traveling in an RV, and I'm currently a over the road truck driver, and about getting tired of living "the American dream" and thinking about just doing an estate auction and hitting the road with my family. But I though maybe I'd share a few suggestions...
Truck wash: check out the "Blue Beacon" app.
Yes its a so called "truck wash" but they will wash ANYTHING. And they will wash anything you ask. Such as say the underbody after running through snow and salt, or the motor. Just each thing has a price. Oh, and NEVER let them use "acid wash" on the rims. Yes they will sparkle like new, but only for a short time. The acid slowly eats away at the aluminum. Best thing about Blue Beacon though, they have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. If they did a crappy job, they will rewash it as many times as needed until your happy with it, free of charge and no questions asked.
With Tori going to school and also having family members around the country, check out "Life360". Its kind of like find my friends on your iPhone, but 10 times better. I've been using it for about 7 years without any issues. Its free, and it works on both Android and iPhone.
Free money: if you haven't already, get the free rewards card from each of the big brand truck stops. Pilot/Flying J are the only one that have RV specific cards because they have RV fuel islands, water fill, and also dump stations. But the rest are all the same for truckers and RV'ers. Just always use the truck fuel islands, and for each gallon you pump you get 1 point, which equals 1 penny, and if you choose to not use your points when making an in store purchase, but still scan it, you get points for whatever you buy also. It adds up, even if only a little. And that money can be used for anything in the store, the restaurant, and even the tire shop. You even get hundreds of extra points of you use the tire shop for repairs or need to request a road call... Each truck stop has its own app as well. I prefer the Love's, which you can plan a route and see what all the fuel prices are song the whole route to plan or the cheapest stops. Just ask for the rewards card at the diesel desk/cashier. They are all 100% FREE.
I hope to meet you guys some day. My wife and kids are exited to get out there, we just have to work out the details. Be safe!
Haha. The ending "set up" in the rain was great !
Don’t know if you’ve ever heard of them but you should look into Andersen Camper levelers. While I personally don’t RV, they look REALLY efficient for those that do. Personally, I have no idea how people buy the yellow blocks when that system looks like it makes leveling SOOOO much easier, but hey I’m on the outside lookin in...
I can't believe it!!! I live just 2 blocks from the Mineola Civic Center! I have been following your travels since the beginning. The MCC is my walking area. I would have loved to have met your beautiful family! Full time RVing is my and my husband's dream. We care for my elderly father, so our dream is on hold for now.
If you're headed back thru the TX panhandle, detour thru Canadian, TX. Great sites by the county fairgrounds for $20/ night. Quiet, lots of trees and grass. W&E only but easy access dump station. We've been the times and never more than the campers there. Capacity is like 20. Make sure the rodeo's not on though as it'll fill then.
Eat at Cattlemen's Exchange. Not too pricey and really good.
Mineola tx... lol that's my home town. Next time yall are down, I recommend trying enoch stomp winery (great view, great food and wine), los pinos winery, (good view, great food and wine, and jack Ryan's steakhouse in Kilgore TX. They have the best steaks you will ever eat and the rest of their food is amazing!
"Rules Follower." 😄 Couldn't tell if you were being facetious but if not, ME TOO!!! Hopefully your kids feel differently about that aspect of your personality than mine do.
Great video as always. If ever in Central Kentucky area you are welcome to park here on our mini farm while you tour our areas. Bourbon Trail, Lincoln's Birthplace, Mamouth Cave, Ky Derby Museum, Ky Horse Park and much more. Message me on Facebook.
We just started our RV journey. Glad we found your channel! We’ve already learned so much! Lots of inspiration! Thanks!
We've stayed four times at Oasis over last two years on our trips west. Great RV Stop. Big Texan Resturant, Amarillo is tourist stop but food is good. We use Blue Beacon Truck Wash to keep our coach clean all across country. Runs about $50 to $60 for 34 foot Motorhome. They do good job no matter what state we've been in. Located close to Truck Stops. I have seen Trailers and. 5th wheels being washed at their sites. Truckers have always been respectful to us when we are in line. My wife and I love your vids.
I am so glad you guys love Texas. I fell in love with Texas on my first business trip down here in 1981. Then I moved my family down here in Dec. 1982. Texas has been home ever since then and I love it more now than ever. You need to come back to Texas and spend a whole season and even then you wouldn't scratch the surface. My all time favorite place is The Big Bend National Park, you guys would love it. Later, Paul
Had the same leveling problems today with those darn things sliding away from the tires.
We just recently discovered KYD and have enjoyed your videos. We purchased a boat at the same Trawler Fest you attended in Anacortes! We keep it in beautiful Friday Harbor but the time has come for us to switch to RVing. Living in the midwest allows us to launch our RV in any direction, thanks to your advice we're excited to explore on 4 wheels. All the best.......
I'm a subscriber of your channel and I live in Amarillo. Stanley Marsh 3, (Cadillac ranch guy) was seriously one weird dude. We call weird stuff here "some Stanley Marsh sh**." lol He died in 2014, but in 2013 he was indicted by a Texas grand jury in Potter County for the alleged sexual assault of two teenagers between 2010 and 2011. He was charged with four counts of sexual assault of a child, eight counts of sexual performance by a child, and two counts of indecency with a child. The thing about living in Amarillo is everyone knows us for the Cadillac ranch, and the big steak joint. LOL!
I don't think I could deal with manual leveling (too spoiled with our Bounder MH) Does your TT have leveling jacks?
No video allowed!!! NO.... You need a spy camera! I used to be irritated when I pay to get in and don't have the memories I want. Since I have bought eyeglasses with a camera in them, I get the video I want and they never know. My set only cost $60 and does what "I need". However, it isn't TH-cam quality, but I am sure you could find a set that is, so you never have to worry about "No Video Allowed" again.
I look forward to every Sunday for one of your videos
Welcome from Texas,, (Muleshoe Texas) Dig the new Truck and Home.. Keep on Keep'N Your Day Dream!
I found y’all after me and my wife took over our parents RV and I’ve been binge watching through the seasons. My heart sunk when you said y’all stayed in Mineola at the civic center because I literally live down the street from there. I never thought y’all would pass through such a small town. Love y’all so much!! Come back soon!!!
We drove from Canada to Arizona in December and our rig looked like it had been on the bottom of the ocean! We stopped at a Blue Beacon in Texas and got an amazing service both in quality and price. The truck rig and bikes looked like new in under 20mins!! You don’t even get our of your vehicle except to pay which from memory was around $50 and well worth it.
"Woman sits here... Man sits here. Man sits... No seat heater." So true ! (Well, unless it's -20Celsius... Then a seat heater for a rather chilly leather seat is quite relieving. Otherwise seat heaters just feel like... well... like you've just relieved yourself !)
OMG as always - you guys are the best (we live in Texas). We are on the hunt for a truck and 5th wheel right now! Would like to have a Grand Design 30 ft. Thanks so much for the spreadsheet which we are using to run the numbers to make sure we get the appropriate equipment. I see how leveling can be frustrating since those yellow things kept moving (I like the tip about rubber floor mats below).
I didnt like RVing Texas. No public lands to boondock on. And that church mass shooting happened 20 miles away from me when I was there.
Still waiting to on a rv tour!
Most likely the Sunday after next. Trish is still upgrading and organizing.
Keep Your Daydream sounds great 👍
she is finalizing the last 2 dozen of the Command hooks....
