Many years ago I was stationed at Gunter Air Force Base. Then it was a base for medics. I learned to be an X-Ray Tech and medic and then I went to Andrews. Vietnam era. Thank you for your service. My brother is a Vietnam Navy vet (3 tours). My dad was a WWII Navy corpsman.
I told you this was our favorite place! We have been there 3 times now and go out of our way to find a reason to pass by and stay again. Lots of history in the area including Selma as well as Montgomery. I love the videos, keep them coming.
Yes you did and I can totally see why! Hopefully, when the word gets out we can still get reservations! lol We cant wait to get back and check out more of the local history.
My husband and I are at Gunter Hill right now! And you are right, it is amazing. We live south of Birmingham so it is only an hour or so away but was perfect for our first outing in our 21' Rockford travel trailer. Beautiful grounds, lots of trees, and on the Alabama River. We went into Montgomery last night for a Marty Stuart concert. This was so much more fun (and lots cheaper) than staying at a hotel like we have done before for shows at the Montgomery Performing Arts Center . I love your videos and look forward to seeing where the road takes you next.
What an incredible drive into that place. Man the woods were beautiful. Thanks for taking us along on your travels today. Some of us may never make it on the road so we really appreciate what y’all do. Cheers!!!
I love history and I think it is important for our future! We must never repeat our ugly and teaching others about it is the only way that will happen. People need to FEEL it and let it become a part of their soul. I'll never be a preacher on our platform but I am hoping to encourage people to go see those places that might change their perspective of others.
We saw this video 4 years ago and have been to Gunter Hill 3 times and will be there again at the end of our 4 month trip from Florida to California and Glacier NP and back. It is the best! Thank you ! Richard and Virginia. . YoloRvAdventure on TH-cam!
I've been a lifetime purger, hero. My mom/family used to hate when I was a kid. Y'all just motivated my wanderlust and the only thing stopping me is me. I best get started or I'll be sitting here next year missing out on what I want to do. PEACE
In my career, I had the honor of meeting Rosa Parks twice. My take away from those experiences: Ms. Parks was a very humble and soft spoken woman. She held the sweetness of spirit within her soul. I did not see someone affected by notoriety or act in such a way. She was a quiet, humble soul. This how I remember her.
Forgot to add we met you in 2019 Hershey RV show when we were searching for our RV November 2021 we became Full-Time RVers Thanks for the inspiration 😄
All I can say is you two are crazy!!! (In a good way😊) I hope that one day I can just walk up to you two and say “Hey Stacey and Phil was new” I’ll have to put that on my bucket list😄😄 Love you guys....be safe!!!!
So funny!!! We just watched this video and it was like you were talking directly to us about purging! We took a break from moving into our fifth wheel to watch this! Video! We are moving out of our Sticks and bricks this weekend and are a month away from pulling out!! We are so excited and exhausted. Sure do enjoy your videos and really look forward to meeting you soon.
We LOVE COE parks, use them as much as possible. There are 3 in East tx on Lake of the Pines that are wonderful. Lots of history in the area 1 hr west of Shreveport, la. Lots more in Texas also most close to historical areas. This is a pines forest area so really beautiful.
"I noticed you haven't started purging yet". Hahahahaha!!! Oh dear how could you see??? I love it. It's on my list and our first garage sale is June 1.
We were at that campground , same space 2 years ago . Too funny noticed right at the beginning of your video. So nice to see your photos, we also went to the Rosa parks museum it was done so well, it brought us to tears. Safe travels!
LOL.....Phil looking into our lives and seeing that we need to purge!!!! Still chuckling!!! ........ Thanks ..... Enjoy your channel a lot...... You give the gift of laughter and we can all use more of that!!! BLESSINGS to you both!! :-)
We love our senior pass for the parks. We hope to get even more use, when we start RVing. Glad your enjoying yourselves. As always take care and be safe.
Just saw this 2 yrs later, but going to Gunter Hill next week to see our grandson who's stationed there. We LOVE COE parks. Have you ever stayed at the Airport COE outside Waco TX? Beautiful view of Waco across the water at night and gorgeous sunsets.
We are about halfway through the funnel on the purge thing. Nice campground; thanks for the tip. Thanks to US for sharing the Annual pass with us Canadian snowbirds; wish we could qualify for senior or military.
Based totally on your video, we decided to pack up the RV and try Gunter Hill. As I type this we are parked in lot 14. The park is everything you stated plus more. The Rangers at check-in told us this place isn’t normally crowded. Thank you for the recommendation.
You were talking to us about purging. I felt like you were really looking into my home. Lol!! My husband and I are wanting to full time RV in about 4 yrs and the reason is we are in a yr of a 5 yr bankruptcy. We have a used camper that we bought 2 yrs ago and are taking it my dads land in Ky, I just found him 2 yrs ago. We have to get us a truck before we can get a camper to work on getting our credit built back up. We love watching you two. You have very interesting pointers for wanting to go full time. Would love to meet up if you are still Rving in 5 yrs. Safe travels!!!
I started laughing because I am purging right now ... too funny ... house went on the market today... hope to see you on the road in the next 6 months ... love your channel!
Great video! Thanks for the tip on Gunter Hill COE campground. Somehow, I had missed that one. We love COE campground. If you are headed NE, stop into Desoto SP in Ft Payne, AL. It's on top of the mountain and one of our favorite stops. FHU, cable, and WiFi. Have a great trip to Va Beach.
Lordy, if I was in US I would definitely stay there. I don’t know of anywhere so well laid out in Oz. 5th wheelers are still pretty rare here so not a lot of places cater for them. Here is Oz I’d say 90% of full time vanners (travel trailers) are max 26 ft in length including A frame. A rig like your would stop traffic here. Me? A Weekender only a16ft “classic” fully stripped and renovated. Love it. Enjoying your channel. Love from Melbourne, Australia.
Our favorite is Corp parks as well, Come to Arkansas we have lots of great Corp parks. Have to add this one to bucket list. Spent quality time at Maxwell AFB for Leadership schools and plan to visit the base so that park will work great. Thanks for sharing. Bloopers are so Awesome! Safe travels.
I also want to thank you Mike for all of the great videos that you do. I am a first timer me and my wife just bought our first RV 2 weeks ago and been trying to get everything ready. Wow what a job. You have taught us so much about RVing and I thing we are ready to hit the road on our first trip. I hope we run into you guys somewhere on the road one day it would be an honor to meet you. We are from NW. GA. Hope to see ya one day Be Safe Be Blessed :)
Thank you so much for the recommendation. I evacuated Florida and came to Maxwell AFB but they could only reserve my slot until Sunday. With a Hurricane, I was looking for another spot and found you guys. I appreciate it! I did see the Rosa Parks Museum driving in. Thumbs up!
Have I seen drone video from you before? Great footage and you operate like you have been in the “Air Force” forever😉 Looks like a great place, but since it is 3 hrs from home, we always make our way back home from trips. I still can’t believe you skipped the beaches of the panhandle, but I know you are trying to go visit your son!
We have had drone footage sprinkled throughout our videos. It has been hard because it is not allowed a lot of places! We also had it in our video from last week as an opener. We will include it as much as possible.
Definitely gonna subscribe. Montgomery is my hometown and I don't think I have ever been there. Great practical information. Thanks for sharing and hope you guys continue to travel, have fun, be safe and inspire others!
Enjoyed meeting and talking w/you at the Planet Fitness in Prattville. Thank you for the tips for myself and my wife for our trip out West this spring and summer. Hope to see you on the road sometime or if we can make contact, we'll give you a tour or tell you where to go to find a lot of history in the area.
So with that new opening to the video, I was wondering if I clicked on the correct VLOG. Glad that I did click on the correct one. Wow, what a campsite! We will definitely go visit that one when we are on the road. I do have one bone to pick with Phil. Why did you have to call me out like that in the video? I am working on the purge lol. Great video, still my favorite retired military RVer couple on youtube.
Hey friend! We are trying to drone when we can. Unfortunately, most places dont allow drones so we havent been able to launch. But we kinda snuck it at the COE park! PS: keep the purging going! lol
Heyyyyyyyy We watched this video last week We said let’s try it We love it When we watched the video again today we saw the drone footage and we were like Wait a minute we think we got the same site #33😄
And YES, I've had my house purged since Sept 2018, house on the is in process, closing sale by May 15 or sooner, crossing fingers. Flying to Mississippi to pick up my 5th wheel and the guy is selling me his truck too! I will be on my way full time soooooonnn!! So Stoked!!! Hope to meet up with you two sometime. Love your videos!!
Great video you guys! We Love Love Love our Planet Fitness Membership. They are always in big cities so it can be hard to fin them sometimes, but Thomas and I have gotten really good at planning our stays around the gym. He's lost 30lbs and several inches. We are cracking down in May and June food wise. Gotta get them beach bodies ready 😂😂😂😂😂🏋️♂️🏋️♀️ ~Stacy~
Thanks Stacy and please congratulate Thomas for us. We know how hard it is to drop the lbs although it is so easy to pick them up!! Food is killing us right now too! Every time we meet up with family our diet is out the window.
Glad you found it! Also about the pass if your 62 you can get the pass for $80 and get the same discount of half off. $10 a night! Also if your ever in the area of Gadsden Alabama visit Naccalula falls there r videos on utube check it out!
You both are so funny. It's funny I thought you could see us perging. Haha that's what we are doing we leave the end of june. We are living the norman life. ☺ great video.
Thanks for all the great info. I’ve are in the process as we speak of purging. House sold , purchased our Class A and plan to hit the road my May 20th. Hope to see y’all out on the road. 👏👏🎉🎉
We literally just booked our spot at Gunter Hill for October. Once we finished, we sat back and noticed you had a new video out so decided to watch it. So weird it was about Gunter Hill Campground. haha
We stayed at Gunter Hill in 2000 and it is a beautiful park. I can see that there have been upgrades since then. We were living full time in a little Class C with our 12 yr old son. Part of our home-school curriculum was a unit study on the civil rights movement. I don't remember seeing a Rosa Parks museum, but maybe it was not built at that time. We did visit a number of other significant sites in the movement. We are full time now in our fifth wheel, but I did get a laugh out of the "purge" comment. My advice to all: Just do it!
THANKS for sharing!! There aren't many photos available on the website for this campground. Which site were you guys in? Trying to make reservations for an upcoming trip. Thanks so much! Great blog post too that accompanies this video! Full of awesome details!
The departure-prep scenes were neat... Have not seen the slides retract from the inside before... Looks a little tight if you have to use the restroom or kitchen without extending them! The "under-the-rig" shot while pulling out was cool too. Can the slides be retracted manually if there is an electrical problem?
It actually is not that bad we can both walk all the way through without turning sideways. I think it was just the camera angle. It is only tight when I am in the kitchen and Phil wants to get into the bathroom. That causes creativity! lol I wash hoping the under the rig shot would be a good one! I was trying to shake it up a bit. I am not sure about closing without electrical that is Phils department and he is not here at the moment. Sorry, I dont have the answer to your question.
Dang, I thought I had the camera covered up on my computer but you saw right in at all my junk. Actually, I am proud to say that I managed to get a whole bag ready to donate today. Hopefully a little every day will get me there. Safe travels.
You guys are too cute lol (sorry Phil). I love watching your channel :). We are a good 5 years out from full timing...but you both make learning very fun and I love your insight and honesty! Please keep the videos coming and safe, happy travels to you!
Hello fellow retired GIs, LE, and RED Owner, April, last year, on the way back from Red Bay, we ended up in Montgomery, Maxwell AFB, had to kill five days. It was on the fly, and one of our more enjoyable five days to burn, lots of history there. We did Selma, Edmund Pettus Bridge, Rosa Parks, Capitol, Civil Rights Museum, MLK Memorial Chapel, and a must Chris' Hot Dogs. Keep up the good videos, i have a coin for you, if our paths cross. No FB, no IG. Todd
Thanks! Purging takes forever. I would start today and go slow. Just keep repeating spaces until you are done. I made a video on purging if you look in our early videos.
It's strange to hear you talk about Rosa Parks, et al. I lived at Maxwell AFB during that tumultuous time. My dad was stationed at Maxwell and I was in high school. I will never forget the Bay of Pigs. Scarey.
That's right, Phil. Check her out..lmbo, hilarious. Hey...When you lean into that camera and said," Purge!" I laughed so hard. I was half thru a pint of butter pecan. I'm like he's saying workout, eat right, and live my dream. Was Phil a PT instructor or what? Lol...thanks for sharing.
We went here based on your recommendation and loved it. Only stayed one night. But we were disappointed with the front desk couple, he was trying to help us get moved to a pull through since we were only staying one night, we didn’t want to unhitch. He was helpful, she wasn’t very friendly. When we talked the loop, there were many pull throughs that would have worked for us for one night, we could tell because the incoming reservations were posted at the sites on the posts. We decided it wasn’t worth trying to get it changed, it was disappointing and unprofessional for her, probably the wife, work campers, to act that way. We saw a herd of cows walking around and a herd of deer. Very nice. It’s a great place, wish we had more time here. Plus we left our access pass at home, paid $26, full hookups. Still a good deal. Which loop do you prefer?
Sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience there. Unfortunately, there are those out there that have bad days and take it out on anyone. Take a pic of your access number so they next time you forget the card....you will have the number handy.
We love the army Corp campgrounds. You should check out Raystown Lake. Not as big but the lake is awesome. This was the last camping weekend until spring. 28 mile lake.
What a great COE park!!! Do you remember what site you were on? No site pictures available on the website. Purging for one more week then signing on the dotted line and hitting the road.
If y'all come to Tiffin for service you must stay at COE campground at Piney Grove in New Site, Ms. It is our favorite place. We have met several Tiffin owners there. We would also love to meet you guys. Cindi and David
What a beautiful spot! Those COE shower rooms though--looks like no divider/shower curtain to keep your fresh clothes and towels from getting sprayed from the shower--all one big open area. Maybe there was, and it just didn't show in the quick look-see. But I have run across such a shower setup at a national park, and it really was impossible to keep my dry things dry!
Hey guy I thought of something possibly for you for another video or series. How about a series of vids on booking and reserving a good spot in a rv park, and which parks are good and where they are. from A-Z the benefits and money savings on seasonal and other types of passes (if any). RV Clubs and their benefits especially when it comes to making RV reservations. God Bless You and your family ."Herby"
Many years ago I was stationed at Gunter Air Force Base. Then it was a base for medics. I learned to be an X-Ray Tech and medic and then I went to Andrews. Vietnam era. Thank you for your service. My brother is a Vietnam Navy vet (3 tours). My dad was a WWII Navy corpsman.
I told you this was our favorite place! We have been there 3 times now and go out of our way to find a reason to pass by and stay again. Lots of history in the area including Selma as well as Montgomery. I love the videos, keep them coming.
Yes you did and I can totally see why! Hopefully, when the word gets out we can still get reservations! lol We cant wait to get back and check out more of the local history.
What are some good waterfront sites you would recommend there?
My husband and I are at Gunter Hill right now! And you are right, it is amazing. We live south of Birmingham so it is only an hour or so away but was perfect for our first outing in our 21' Rockford travel trailer. Beautiful grounds, lots of trees, and on the Alabama River. We went into Montgomery last night for a Marty Stuart concert. This was so much more fun (and lots cheaper) than staying at a hotel like we have done before for shows at the Montgomery Performing Arts Center . I love your videos and look forward to seeing where the road takes you next.
So glad you love it too!
Thanks for sharing! And too funny...took a break from purging to watch this! We are working towards full-timing! Hope to see you on the road soon!
That is funny!! Phil much have been watching you!
What an incredible drive into that place. Man the woods were beautiful. Thanks for taking us along on your travels today. Some of us may never make it on the road so we really appreciate what y’all do. Cheers!!!
It is such a beautiful park! We were so lucky to find it.
I appreciate how you two embrace the history of our country. The good, bad, scary, pretty & ugly. Awesome COE park.
Safe travels...
I love their videos, but I'm worried about the lump on Stacy's lump on her throat. She needs to have that checked out by a doctor!
@@marilynortega5649, Stacey mentioned in the beginning of one of their recent videos that she did have it checked out and all is well.
I love history and I think it is important for our future! We must never repeat our ugly and teaching others about it is the only way that will happen. People need to FEEL it and let it become a part of their soul. I'll never be a preacher on our platform but I am hoping to encourage people to go see those places that might change their perspective of others.
Love what you said about Ms. Parks and that don't want history to repeat itself and learning from mistakes.
We saw this video 4 years ago and have been to Gunter Hill 3 times and will be there again at the end of our 4 month trip from Florida to California and Glacier NP and back. It is the best! Thank you ! Richard and Virginia. . YoloRvAdventure on TH-cam!
You are a beautiful couple, funny and very informative. Thanks for the Corp of Engineers tip.....
I've been a lifetime purger, hero. My mom/family used to hate when I was a kid.
Y'all just motivated my wanderlust and the only thing stopping me is me. I best get started or I'll be sitting here next year missing out on what I want to do. PEACE
Awesome! Maybe we will see you out there.
We loved Gunter Hill too!
We should have stayed for the full 2 weeks at this one!
You are right....I haven't started purging yet but I have started painting which will lead to purging.
It is a step to your goal!
In my career, I had the honor of meeting Rosa Parks twice. My take away from those experiences:
Ms. Parks was a very humble and soft spoken woman. She held the sweetness of spirit within her soul. I did not see someone affected by notoriety or act in such a way. She was a quiet, humble soul. This how I remember her.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me. It makes me love her all the more!!
we're purging as fast as we can. I'll see you on the road SOON!....
Forgot to add we met you in 2019 Hershey RV show when we were searching for our RV
November 2021 we became Full-Time RVers
Thanks for the inspiration 😄
All I can say is you two are crazy!!!
(In a good way😊) I hope that one day I can just walk up to you two and say “Hey Stacey and Phil was new” I’ll have to put that on my bucket list😄😄
Love you guys....be safe!!!!
That would be so much fun!
So funny!!! We just watched this video and it was like you were talking directly to us about purging! We took a break from moving into our fifth wheel to watch this! Video! We are moving out of our Sticks and bricks this weekend and are a month away from pulling out!! We are so excited and exhausted. Sure do enjoy your videos and really look forward to meeting you soon.

YES. The Catoma Loop is amazing. The way the sites are laid out are the best we have ever seen. Easy to back into & deep, WOW. 👍👍
We agree completely!
What is a good site with the best water views? We'll be traveling there in end of January 2021
"I noticed you haven't started purging yet". Hahahahaha!!! Oh dear how could you see??? I love it. It's on my list and our first garage sale is June 1.
June 1st is just around the corner! I guess you have started because garage sales are a lot of work! Good luck
Hi guys, check out Deerlick Creek COE just outside of Tuscaloosa
, AL mostly water/electric 50 amp. But the park is one of our favs! Happy trails
Thank you! We will!
We were at that campground , same space 2 years ago . Too funny noticed right at the beginning of your video. So nice to see your photos, we also went to the Rosa parks museum it was done so well, it brought us to tears. Safe travels!
That is crazy cool!! We hope to get back there and explore a bit more.
Love those COE campgrounds. Several great ones here in Tennessee.
We have stayed at a couple near Nashville. Loved them.
Thanks for the reminder about needing to purge!!!LOL! Hope to be on the road soon!!!
You are so welcome
My bestie Army buddy and I toured the Maggie Walker museum today in Richmond VA. Sooo cool!
That sounds cool!!
LOL.....Phil looking into our lives and seeing that we need to purge!!!! Still chuckling!!! ........ Thanks ..... Enjoy your channel a lot...... You give the gift of laughter and we can all use more of that!!! BLESSINGS to you both!! :-)
Thanks so much for hanging out with us!
We've started, mostly we're moving things from one room to another, and occasionally trips to the Salvation Army.
It is a start!!
We love our senior pass for the parks. We hope to get even more use, when we start RVing. Glad your enjoying yourselves. As always take care and be safe.
They are the golden ticket!!
Just saw this 2 yrs later, but going to Gunter Hill next week to see our grandson who's stationed there. We LOVE COE parks. Have you ever stayed at the Airport COE outside Waco TX? Beautiful view of Waco across the water at night and gorgeous sunsets.
We have and loved that one as well!!!
thank you for great vlog... just became planet fitness member and here we come Rosa Parks
Sweet! Enjoy! You wont be disappointed!
We are about halfway through the funnel on the purge thing. Nice campground; thanks for the tip. Thanks to US for sharing the Annual pass with us Canadian snowbirds; wish we could qualify for senior or military.
Awesome!! Keep going! The purge is the hardest part.

I always love the music you choose and enjoy seeing nice people enjoying life 👍
Thanks so much! Music takes me forever to choose!
You were talking to us about purging. I felt like you were really looking into my home. Lol!! My husband and I are wanting to full time RV in about 4 yrs and the reason is we are in a yr of a 5 yr bankruptcy. We have a used camper that we bought 2 yrs ago and are taking it my dads land in Ky, I just found him 2 yrs ago. We have to get us a truck before we can get a camper to work on getting our credit built back up. We love watching you two. You have very interesting pointers for wanting to go full time. Would love to meet up if you are still Rving in 5 yrs. Safe travels!!!
Sounds like a plan! We wish you the best during your transition.
You, Me & the RV Thanks! Can’t wait!
I started laughing because I am purging right now ... too funny ... house went on the market today... hope to see you on the road in the next 6 months ... love your channel!
Sweet! Good luck with the sale. Fingers crossed for a quick one.
After watching your review on Gunterhill we decided to give it a try!
Hope you enjoy it!

Our favorite is Corp parks as well, Come to Arkansas we have lots of great Corp parks. Have to add this one to bucket list. Spent quality time at Maxwell AFB for Leadership schools and plan to visit the base so that park will work great. Thanks for sharing. Bloopers are so Awesome! Safe travels.
Arkansas is on our list.....we will eventually make it there!
I also want to thank you Mike for all of the great videos that you do. I am a first timer me and my wife just

No doubt one of our favorites as well
Thank you so much for the recommendation. I evacuated Florida and came to Maxwell AFB but they could only reserve my slot until Sunday. With a Hurricane, I was looking for another spot and found you guys. I appreciate it! I did see the Rosa Parks Museum driving in. Thumbs up!
Glad you found a safe place to go during the evacuation period. Hopefully the storm isn't to menacing on your Florida spot.
Have I seen drone video from you before? Great footage and you operate like you have been in the “Air Force” forever😉

Hey friend! You guys would love it and fit with no problems.
Great video. Like to see the things you are doing.
Thanks!
Thanks for the quick video from our home state. We will definitely put that campground on our list. Wife and I love your videos!

Looks like a fantastic place.
It really is awesome.

You both are so funny. It's funny I thought you could see us perging. Haha that's what we are doing we leave the end of june. We are living the norman life. ☺ great video.
That is so close!! Congrats and I hope you love your new way of life.
Very funny Phil. Yes we do have a lot of purging to do. LOL.
Well get to work! lol
We're working on it! So much to do but it feels good.
Thanks for all the great info. I’ve are in the process as we speak of purging. House sold , purchased our Class A and plan to hit the road my May 20th. Hope to see y’all out on the road. 👏👏🎉🎉
Awesome! It is coming fast!! Congrats to you. I hope you love it as we do!
We literally just booked our spot at Gunter Hill for October. Once we finished, we sat back and noticed you had a new video out so decided to watch it. So weird it was about Gunter Hill Campground. haha
Awesome! You are gonna love it.
Yes we have a golden ticket!!!
Sweet!
I’m purging! Joshua Becker’s the minimalist Home ... I’m on it!
Sweet! It is worth it!
We stayed at Gunter Hill in 2000 and it is a beautiful park. I can see that there have been upgrades since then. We were living full time in a little Class C with our 12 yr old son. Part of our home-school curriculum was a unit study on the civil rights movement. I don't remember seeing a Rosa Parks museum, but maybe it was not built at that time. We did visit a number of other significant sites in the movement. We are full time now in our fifth wheel, but I did get a laugh out of the "purge" comment. My advice to all: Just do it!
I agree!! What are you waiting for! Do It!
You are right we have a lot more purging to do...the camper comes in 1 month! House goes on the market Monday!
Yikes!! The pressure is on!
Looks like a great CG. Looking forward to meeting you on Saturday. Phil, stop looking into our living room!! We’ve purged everything.
Awesome!!! So excited for the meet up.
Beautiful campground! Stacey did you cry at the Rosa Parks museum? I know I would have. Safe travels!
I didnt actually cry but it was very emotional.
THANKS for sharing!! There aren't many photos available on the website for this campground. Which site were you guys in? Trying to make reservations for an upcoming trip. Thanks so much! Great blog post too that accompanies this video! Full of awesome details!
We are working on the purging! Had our first garage sale this weekend. Got rid of a ton of stuff & made a LOT of money!
Perfect!! Add it to the Nomad pile!
The departure-prep scenes were neat... Have not seen the slides retract from the inside before... Looks a little tight if you have to use the restroom or kitchen without extending them! The "under-the-rig" shot while pulling out was cool too. Can the slides be retracted manually if there is an electrical problem?
It actually is not that bad we can both walk all the way through without turning sideways. I think it was just the camera angle. It is only tight when I am in the kitchen and Phil wants to get into the bathroom. That causes creativity! lol I wash hoping the under the rig shot would be a good one! I was trying to shake it up a bit. I am not sure about closing without electrical that is Phils department and he is not here at the moment. Sorry, I dont have the answer to your question.
Ok, Phil responded....Yes, they can be retracted manually from the front breaker compartment.
Also my favorite COE campground especially at half price. Use it on my route back and forth from up north to Florida. I was there when you were.
It is amazing!
There are quite a few good COE parks along the AR river valley and along the AL/GA border.
Awesome! Thanks
Dang, I thought I had the camera covered up on my computer but you saw right in at all my junk. Actually, I am proud to say that I managed to get a whole bag ready to donate today. Hopefully a little every day will get me there. Safe travels.
hahahahaha! A little every day is the best way to go! Less stress and anxiety that way!
You guys are too cute lol (sorry Phil). I love watching your channel :). We are a good 5 years out from full timing...but you both make learning very fun and I love your insight and honesty! Please keep the videos coming and safe, happy travels to you!
Thanks Kelly. Those 5 years will be here before you know it. You are doing it right by researching ahead of time.
We enjoyed our stay there. We have also purchased Corp of Engineers campground book. Well worth $16 or $17 we paid for it.
Hello fellow retired GIs, LE, and RED Owner,
April, last year, on the way back from Red Bay, we ended up in Montgomery, Maxwell AFB, had to kill five days. It was on the fly, and one of our more enjoyable five days to burn, lots of history there.
We did Selma, Edmund Pettus Bridge, Rosa Parks, Capitol, Civil Rights Museum, MLK Memorial Chapel, and a must Chris' Hot Dogs.
Keep up the good videos, i have a coin for you, if our paths cross.
No FB, no IG.
Todd
We did not see enough there for sure! We do plan to return and finish up your list!! Hopefully, we will see you out there.
Great drone footage 👍. Thank you both for your service. SF
Thanks!
I love rv life has a great video on the falls
Sweet. thanks
Another great video! Thank you. This CG is on our list now.
Thanks!
Great video
LOL Bustled! We are going full-time in about a year and still have a lot of purging to do. Excellent video by the way.
Thanks! Purging takes forever. I would start today and go slow. Just keep repeating spaces until you are done. I made a video on purging if you look in our early videos.
It's strange to hear you talk about Rosa Parks, et al. I lived at Maxwell AFB during that tumultuous time. My dad was stationed at Maxwell and I was in high school. I will never forget the Bay of Pigs. Scarey.
Excellent music and scenery. You're getting better at editing and I like the format. Good Job.
Thanks so much! I am really working on it!
Thanks Phil and Stacy, we are planning on staying here in Jan. 2025 based on your recommendations.
Our favorite COE
I didn't know anyone could camp at COE campgrounds. I'll have to include them in my research of areas we go to. Good video. ~Lucy
I am so glad that now you know!! They are amazing.
That's right, Phil. Check her out..lmbo, hilarious. Hey...When you lean into that camera and said," Purge!" I laughed so hard. I was half thru a pint of butter pecan. I'm like he's saying workout, eat right, and live my dream. Was Phil a PT instructor or what? Lol...thanks for sharing.
Hahahaha! Thats hilarious! He was not a PT instructor but he can give instruction on his favorite flavors of ice cream!
We went here based on your recommendation and loved it. Only stayed one night. But we were disappointed with the front desk couple, he was trying to help us get moved to a pull through since we were only staying one night, we didn’t want to unhitch. He was helpful, she wasn’t very friendly. When we talked the loop, there were many pull throughs that would have worked for us for one night, we could tell because the incoming reservations were posted at the sites on the posts. We decided it wasn’t worth trying to get it changed, it was disappointing and unprofessional for her, probably the wife, work campers, to act that way. We saw a herd of cows walking around and a herd of deer. Very nice. It’s a great place, wish we had more time here. Plus we left our access pass at home, paid $26, full hookups. Still a good deal. Which loop do you prefer?
Sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience there. Unfortunately, there are those out there that have bad days and take it out on anyone. Take a pic of your access number so they next time you forget the card....you will have the number handy.
We love the army Corp campgrounds. You should check out Raystown Lake. Not as big but the lake is awesome. This was the last camping weekend until spring. 28 mile lake.
In Pennsylvania
We will add it to our list! Thanks Dorothy!
What a great COE park!!! Do you remember what site you were on? No site pictures available on the website.
Purging for one more week then signing on the dotted line and hitting the road.
33 we think. Right along the water.
If y'all come to Tiffin for service you must stay at COE campground at Piney Grove in New Site, Ms. It is our favorite place. We have met several Tiffin owners there. We would also love to meet you guys. Cindi and David
We were there earlier this year. Not sure when we will return.
Great video! Already purging!
Enjoy the purge!!
What a beautiful spot! Those COE shower rooms though--looks like no divider/shower curtain to keep your fresh clothes and towels from getting sprayed from the shower--all one big open area. Maybe there was, and it just didn't show in the quick look-see. But I have run across such a shower setup at a national park, and it really was impossible to keep my dry things dry!
I didnt test the showers so I am not sure about the wet radius.
That was fun...thanks!
Thank you!
Thank you so much. We cant wait to go there!
You wont be disappointed.
Was that a Jeep? Lol. Enjoyed the video. We will try this camp ground. We bought a book telling about the COE campgrounds. Thanks.
Yes, that was an actual Jeep! You must have seen my earlier "I dont want a jeep" videos. I guess you can see who won that battle!
@@todayissomeday LoL my wife and I enjoyed your video.
Ha!! That purging video has to go into a greatest hits montage in the future! Fantastic. :D
Hahaha What a great idea!
Hey guy I thought of something possibly for you for another video or series. How about a series of vids on booking and reserving a good spot in a rv park, and which parks are good and where they are. from A-Z the benefits and money savings on seasonal and other types of passes (if any). RV Clubs and their benefits especially when it comes to making RV reservations. God Bless You and your family ."Herby"
Thanks for the suggestion. We do have some of that in our video on camping on a budget.
You guys are a hoot!!!! Love your videos! Happy Easter!!
Thanks Dino! Happy Easter to you as well! Blessings to you and your family!
I started purging as soon as my traveling nurse wife said we can sell house and do rving full time!
Yay!!
Hey Phil, we are purging, thanks for checking. How about a video on bike racks for rigs, I'm curious about your bike rack.👍
This is on the list for us to discuss. We are actually having trouble with ours.
