The flip side to the sewer location is that in my motor home, I could pull in forward and now my front window blinds stay open and I have a beautiful view of the water. I am guessing that is why they are located in the front of the site.
I would definitely do that if I had a motorized RV
Thanks for the trip to the Keys...and Thanks for doing the driving for me....
Once again Robert, you have mesmerized my wife and I with your beautiful video, wonderful music and soothing voice. I hope some day we meet up, we're trying to get to the keys sometime this winter. Thanks.
Indeed, you will like the Big Pine Key fishing lodge- they have a very nice pool and a walking trail that is a must see- fishing is pretty good too! (and a lot cheaper than $188/night)
At the Beginning of the Video you showed a sign at Wallmart that said not overnight camping, the best way to get around that is sleep during the day and drive at night.
Wow Robert, that sure was some beautiful scenery of Sunshine Key. If my wife and I every find our way down that way I definitely want to stop there. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Safe travels.
The spot with the Trooper was "worth the price of admission" by itself. That was real cool!!
i think the sewer line was like that because it has to be a certain distance from the water(ocean) great video...thanks
I think you are correct james.
That was the first thing that came to me to.
I agree
I agree. Similar regs in the Adirondacks. New construction has to be a certain distance from the waterfront.
Yes exactly what i was thinking as well.
Robert, I moved from South Florida 9 years ago and every time I watch your videos you make me want to move back! Guess I will see SoFlo like a tourist now! Great work, loved the video...
Hey our favorite place to stop at while we were there was Mangrove Mama's, they surprised us with the food! We recommend that place for anyone who love seafood, oysters sushi and even biscuit and gravy of all things. That were fabulous!!!!!!
We love Mangrove Mama's! Always try to stop in if driving past.
I didn’t know about that beautiful camp ground. I know it’s expensive but it’s beautiful I want to go for even one or two nights just to experience it.
Love the RV cam, the high position gives great panoramic view
The stars were magnificent, as was the sunrise!!!
magnificent perfection, our florida keys are looking good, i really like the drone shots, the beautiful waters around the keys, the sand and palm trees, not mention the pelicans, all your videos are great, thank you sir
I enjoyed the whole video. OMG that beautiful clear water was breathtaking. thanks Robert God Bless You
Excellent love the nighttime time lapse and the outtakes at the end...
Thank you!
Hi Robert, I used to work and live at Sunshine Key. The stop sign is there to keep people from driving their golf carts up to the fishing pier. Really love your videos. Especially this one for obvious reasons. Keep em coming!!
I lived in Sugarloaf Key then Key West for 6 months after high school. Absolutely loved every second. I practically starved LOL. I worked at a few hotels doing maid service. Also sold blood and plasma. Still I loved it there. When I flew home my parents said I looked so healthy but all I could say is I’m starving and I love y’all. Great home cooked meal from Mom. Watching this took me back. Wish I could be there now. Thanks for the film!!
Love your videos in the keys, it never gets old.. thanks for another amazing video...
Found your channel about a week ago, another amazing video.
LOVE the time lapse of the palms and that million dollar sunrise.
You have done an excellent job with this video. Honestly, compared to other travel videos, this was very well done; it was interesting, well edited, and the commentary was entertaining. You need to come up and do reviews of the lakefront parks on Lake Michigan. The ones done by others aren't in your class. I will look for others of yours.
Thank you!
We will be there again next week... can't wait
Hello there my friends! I always enjoy your videos, along with the drone and exotic accented narration! We also have a small Travel Trailer and are in our second Colorado! That are great tow and all-around trucks and the perfect size! So good luck out there! Have fun and stay safe!
I agree, while all the Keys are cool, my favorites are from Marathon down...I used to camp in Marathon a lot back in the day...tent camp...YIKES!
Beautiful view I would pay 178 just to stay one night in the keys keep up the great work in the videos
I have watched MANY of your videos, and this is my favorite one so far. Next up, you are taking me to the Northeast. Let's go!
Hi, Robert 👍🏻👍🏻 I enjoyed watching your video nice to see you back in the Keys 👊🏻 I really liked the drone shots and I’m glad the Colorado is handling Minitini very well. I know the sewer placement is in a bad spot but at least there’s plenty of room to set up a canopy and beach chairs behind the trailer to enjoy the view. Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Great week !!! Danny
the music is beautiful too!
Love the new motor Robert it's very posh .I can't believe they charge that extortionate amount for the pitch . Great views and I thought that was fantastic the state trooper stop you basically for a photo . When are you starting to sell the fly pelican fly t-shirts .
Thank you. Fly pelican tshirts here teespring.com/stores/travelingrobert
Superb
Good to learn of some of the issues you have pulling Minitini. For someone like myself who one day will have my own, its good to learn from an expert.
Amazing shots. I'd just unhook my line and use my holding tanks in that situation. Park my RV wherever. Dump whenever I need to. I'm only one person generating waste anyway.
So glad that the hurricane recovery as gone so well. Your drone vids are awesome. Thanks for sharing. I stayed at Sunshine key rv before the hurricane..glad to see it open.
Awesome video footage with the drone. I have never been to South Florida, only the Northern part. My husband and I are talking retirement and travel. We hope to visit the keys soon.
Thank you! South Florida is different from the Northern part for sure
Nice to see Sunshine Key resort is open again. My Family, and I were regulars there in the 70', and early 80's. We would stay there for about 3-4 weeks in Dec. to get out of the NY winters. The opposite side of the island used to be a bird sanctuary, I wonder if it is still accessible? The previous owners made it a lot more affordable than your rate though. I was hoping you would have shown the pool area, and maybe the 'Rec hall", but no biggie. I have a lot of fond memories there, and you made it possible to relive them. Thanks Robert. Very nice vid.
Such be-utiful footage!!! Love the nightime and morning views! 🌊 ☉🌴🐋🌴🐬🐟🌴🐠🐡🌴🐙🐚🌴🐌☉ But that blue water! OMG...🌊🌊🌊🌊
Thanks for taking us on your trip to the Keys once again Robert! Now that we've been there (two weeks ago) it's fun to watch and say we've been there! Unfortunately it was only 5 days, plus a day in the Everglades. So definitely ready to go back again soon! Does this RV park have a pool? That's a must for me. Say Hi to Fred The Tree and Donna The Bush for me! 😁🌳🌱
Robert, you are doing a good job of discouraging me from visiting the Keys. Everything down there seems to be a poorly managed money suck . I say this as a Florida resident. I live in Ft Lauderdale and can visit the keys rather easily, like you living in Miami. I retired four years ago, and I've done a few visits to the keys. There are some beautiful places, but not where tourists go. Keep making the videos. I enjoy your adventures. Norway was awesome, and I like the visits out west in the US.
And thank you for sharing your out takes..video production is definitely a process!
We owned a home in the keys for years we sold after Irma I miss it a lot
Them bloopers, gotta love'em!!
It’s beautiful absolutely amazing
just came across your channel - must say you remind me of: Antonio Banderas style of "Puss in Boots", you know you could have a go of it as a double for him! haahhaa, enjoyed your vid and yes stay out of DIVES! q comico! Lol
Not sure what it is but I watch Robert daily. I guess right now I live vicariously through him! How I relax.
We always skip putting on the sewer hose until we leave in goofy parks like that. That way I can still back in as far as I want then dump on the way out last thing after re-hooking back up and leaving.
Starbreaker666 right, especially with large holding tanks and only being there for a weekend.
th-cam.com/video/YxR9JbxTau4/w-d-xo.html Starbreaker666
Such a SIMPLE concept Starbreaker !!!! I like to think I have a head on my shoulders, but in all honesty, I never would have thought of emptying until I left. That's probably why you make the Big bucks !!
@@davemetz7368 This is true..
The command of your English language is very annoying. The sound has to be mute If I want to see your video,
I concur with James... it’s like a setback from the water
Great video love the new truck! My guess is they sell sewer hose extensions in the office for very expensive price! Just joking! Safe travels Robert!
Thank you for the new video Robert. We always love all of them, but especially the ones from Florida. Have safe travels, and may God watch over you. Fly pelican fly!
Awsome drone footage. So beautiful down there ❤
Aww man, you passed Bahia Honda park without checking it out. Before the hurricane this (state?) Park was a delight. Hope it has recovered. Take the time next chance you get.
I did another video about Bahia Honda shortly after the hurricane th-cam.com/video/AED9gD8ey1M/w-d-xo.html but didn't get a chance to visit this time
Some people don't realize there are more to the Florida Keys other than Biscayne to Key West. My girlfriend and I traveled without destination in 1991 and discovered Siesta Key in the panhandle area. We traveled through Gainesville during the time of the Gainesville serial killer and stopped in Sierra Key. The locals there called it old Key West because Siesta had not been commercialized in any way like the Key West of long ago. A nice boat launch and calm seas the entire week with small fishing boats going out to fish. We checked into an oceanfront condo that was being run like a motel. Just a condo building and owners could have their units rented out by the day, week ect. We had to ring a phone as instructed to rent a condo at the makeshift" office". Within 10 minutes a man on a bicycle rode up and hooked us up into a very nice condo. The condos were on a rotation schedule and the money from renting went towards that individuals mortgage payment. That condo unit owner that is. We discovered there were 3 condos for sale and the nice unit we were in was listed at only $33, 000. The key was completely undeveloped and a bargain at that price. At the time my car cost more than the beautiful condo. Unknown and underdeveloped made for some inexpensive condos to purchase and if a unit owner didn't want his unit rented out while he was away he was under no obligation to do so. But the rented ones income was applied towards the mortgage payments. Should have made that purchase. I have no idea if its built up now. Robert, your video reminded me of that trip and that special gal I was with. Thanks.
The happiest days in a Boat owner’s life are the day he /she buys a boat and the day he /she sells it!
I just sold my boat that I had for 25 years, kind of hated seeing it go but it was time for someone else to enjoy it.
I can attest to that.
Rent one when the urge strikes.
Great FHP Trooper, nice of him to give you great 411 on shooting video from the better bridge.
man I really love the Keys videos remind me of Cuba so much
Really love your time lapse and drown views! Awesomeness! 😍😎 Your a Great Commercial Personality & Great Joy! 🤣
Very nice park! Bummer about the sewage hose placement. Really like your drone footage!!
Thank you!
We were in the Keys three days ago! Hope you enjoy your stay there. It looks like a nice RV park, but that sewer hookup is bizarre.
blown away to see that colorado pulling the camper!
Thanks for sharing Robert. Minus 10 here this morning the keys helped.
near 70 here in Bama today, low tomorrow near 40, keys looked good from here too
You are so blessed. Love the music.
Nicely done as usual but I couldn’t consider myself in paradise parked a couple feet away from another vehicle unless you came from a crowded row home in the city.
Beautiful nighttime lapse segment....and beautiful, though expensive, sunrise. Soon only the rich will get to see paradise up close. In the meantime we have you...thanks! :-)
With those prices I probably won't be going back. It was a fun time though
Forgot to mention, very well put together video !! Especially your drone shots. I really enjoy them.
Your Florida trips never disappoint me, especially the ones to the Keys. I gotta get out more and see my pretty little state.
Awesome view! Next time just use your holding tanks and pull all the way back. 😁 Get your monies worth!! Beautiful views thanks for sharing!! Definitely see this park in our future!!
Beautiful RV Site,and yeah the price reflects the new trees and infrastructure, but that view!!
Hi Robert,many thanks for sharing yet another magnificent video here about your visit to the Keys which,needless to point out actually,I watched with great pleasure and undivided attention Great music,splendid views and excellent commentary as always,a titbit to the eye and ear surely.Best wishes and cordial greetings from William in Bruges,Belgium,Europe
There may be an ordnance or regulation how close the sewer dump can be to the waters edge
Great vid Robert, I think your next rv should be an Oliver. The Chevy and the Olie would be a great combo. They r pricey though ,just a thought.
Wow the drone footage is gorgeous!
Your site looked amazing, great location!
It’s still beautiful
$178, location, location, location....... Can only stay a few nights, disconnect the hose, use it as a dump station on the way out. Beautiful video.
Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful sites. I've never seen it. Unfortunately.
I'm moving down to Florida soon but that takes time getting a Florida license a place to stay becoming a resident of Florida getting a bank it all takes time.
Robert, You should take heed of Starbreakers comment below. While they so poorly designed the sewer hookup near the front of your campsite, you need not have to hook up to it until you are leaving. That way you could still back minitini in further. Quite simple concept.
CC and Mt are looking good! Nice job Robert!
woww beautiful park.beach same as the island of langkawi kedah malaysia woww
Love the views with your drone! Awesome!
Really Enjoyed it. Fantasic camera drone work. Drone worth every penny.
Hi Robert we thought about you the whole time we were in the keys this last weekend! We were there Thursday through Monday and ever time we drive near and in Marathon Fl, we thought about you... To bad we didn't see you, would of love to take some pictures with you. It was my birthday Dec 1st that's why we were there. Anyways love all your videos, keep than coming. Thanks, be safe blessings on your travels 😘😘😘❤️❤️
Hey Robert..always enjoy your Keys videos !
Love the new truck! We can’t wait to go to the keys especially after your videos!
Thank you!
Hi Robert, Another outstanding video. The Keys are on my bucket list !
That is one beautiful RV park!
Robert, I was just going to say the same thing as the guy in front of me but, Oh well. I was thinking that also if they ran their pipe any further towards the water they may not have had enough rise left in the pipe from the water's edge to the destination which may be a lift station. To get that much drop, the pipe would have been started up too high, or out of the ground. That would only be the case tho if those sites were the furthest from the lift station. Anyway, you have the best videos of anybody in the RV community, so keep up the good work.
Absolutely beautiful video. Watching your videos makes me want to travel. Have a Merry Christmas.
I just upgraded my Mavic Spark to the new DGI Mavic Pro 2. Have fun robert
I am needing a new drone as well, will look into the pro 2
I noticed tonight that Costco is selling the DJI Mavic Air at $699 which is $100 off. Good till Jan. 1st, 2019. It is in one of there bundles which includes an upgraded flight bag.
Building code forces certain changes when they rebuild. Has to be a minimum distance from the water. I’d pull in forward with my MH to get that view of the water from my front window :) I’m a TT member and can stay there for $20/night
If I had a motorized...which I will some day. That's what I would do...keep the curtains open.
Nice photography.
That drone is incredible! I was wondering why no swimming?
That's some expensive camping there robert.gotta get down there someday.have a good weekend Rob.
OMG, you paid $178.88 for one night in the Keys? I know they planted some trees Robert, but that's highway robbery brother.
@ATCkeepsUsafe how do you know he's doing well financially? Are you his accountant?
Good question@@doinjusfine1
@ATCkeepsUsafe Exactly! It's called Capitalism. Everything in the Keys is expensive (according to family and friends who have Rved down there). Obviously a lot people feel it's worth it. If someone wants to spend 2 million on a Prevost (not me), more power to them. It is a beautiful campground for sure.
Better check out the rates at hotels in the Keys. Pretty cheap, would have been far less if he had stayed for a month or longer or went inland. I have paid 100/night for a tent site at Key West and only had room for the tent, not near the room Sunshine now gives, but it was cheaper than a hotel and to stay in KW overnight well worth it.
It's all about supply and demand. God made only so many tropical islands ... so really nice places are in high demand.
17:14 "Voy a empezar de nuevo" LOL :). Good video as always!
Robert, is that my home away from home Walmart? lol. You know the which one. So far both Walmarts close to us still allow overnight parking both trucks and assume campers, however the Marion one has stopped daytime parking of trucks and vehicles with trailers, they have the day time workers park in those areas, even the Walmart trucks can no longer park during the day.
Many Walmarts are doing that. It is ban because sometimes you just need a large parking lot to take a break and resupply.
Nice weekend
Robert el video está buenísimo y el RV park tremendo ...woaaa pero esos precios se pasaron de la raya......
Thanks Robert for the tour and comments. Nice 👍 Drone footage Sir. Does that RV park have age restrictions on the RV, have a restored 1986 Airstream Sovereign 25'. Just curious. Merry Christmas 🎄
Really nice footage. I have never seen such weird sewage placement. ITM.
probably done that way to protect the ocean water from contamination. If the tide rolled in too, water could fill the sewer
I just saw you going down on I 95 south bound FL mile mark 201, time 3:05pm ,today is 12/3/2018.
Cool, yes, that was me :-)
Wow beautiful sunrise! Great video...I love your travel info...and especially thecway you showcase our beautiful state!
Just curious...where was the "no parking" sign you showed at the start?
Thanks
i always carry extra water hose sewer hose cable tv line even a externsion 50 amp power cord just for that
Always do. Learned the hard way some time back
Pulling in with a DP that is 40-45 feet, you would pull in nose first putting that sewer connection about where it should be
Brent and Liz Scott then your sewer hose would be on the wrong side.
Philip Crabill not a perfect set up but really not a big deal to run your sewer hose 8-10 feet under your coach
