I use a Reliance Aquitainer 7 gallon cube shape. Rides on floor or bunk step when traveling, then on top on the cabinet above the fridge so the nozzle hangs over the sink. Works like a charm
The was a nice suck up with warden when you walked in. I kinda think the real reason for camping at the truck stop is your starting to miss the truck alittle.
Hi Kurt, I enjoy all your videos. Just a trick breaking eggs. Use a flat surface, not the edge of the pan. Less chance of getting shell, believe it or not, and less chance of broken yolks. Try it I didn't believe it either, but I'm an older dork, and it works for me.
Spending the night or nights in your truck camper? I missed the part about what was your heart source is? Using a Honda five thousand watt generator for power source and a small space heater. This arrangement will keep your truck camper warm and toasty. The generator holds almost one gallon of gasoline and that amount of fuel will keep the generator running about eight hours. Also this same generator will power a five thousand btu window air conditioner. I use this arrangement in my semi truck and avoid idling my truck while parked. It takes very little time to set this arrangement up and have it heating or cooling your camper or semi truck.
Trains are nice to see. They are even more fun when they blow their horn and interrupt you when you are talking. It's almost like you time it to happen.
Thank you Kurt for everything you do and for everything you represent your a very kind and very family Oriented you put you all and heart into everything you do keep doing what your doing because people can learn a lot from you and your family
I love seeing the Sinclair gas station stuff.. I remember seeing that stuff when I was a kid here on the east coast. Honestly thought they were out of business.
I take my lights down the day after Christmas, and the last place I would camp at is a truck stop Wal Mart has All the calendar s and keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe
Loved the geography info and night tour of your beautiful state of Iowa. I sympathize for Sarah, I caught that RSV which turned into a nasty sinus infection which took 3 weeks and 2 courses of antibiotics to get rid of.
Kurt, you might want to look into a "Jump Pack" to bring camping, since your truck doesn't like the winter months. Likewise, you can use it for your other vehicles as well. All our local towing services use them for boosting vehicles and getting power to newer vehicle, which require power to get into neutral and release the parking brake, prior to being towed in to a service facility. newer vehicles like my 2019 Chev Equinox, when the battery failed, it goes into power saving mode, which puts the vehicle into a total lock down. You can't get it out of park, it even sets the electronic parking brake, locks the vehicle and arms the alarm system, and it stays that way till it gets another power source or totally kills the battery. Sara's new Jeep probably does the same thing. If you want to camp in the woods off a remote back road during winter, it might save you a long cold walk.
Leave Christmas lights up until January 7(the day after the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6). Also, as you see one downside of using a propane heater inside is the condensation from the moisture produced by the combustion of propane, but still better than the onboard furnace which is less efficient, and takes quit a bit of electricity to run the fan. Good video!
Trucking with Schmidt calendars for next year! The wrap will help keep the water cool in the summer. I see you have a pop-up vent. That could be where the snow came from. Those tend not to seal well and can lift up a bit in a very strong wind. I feel you with the O.C.D. thing. I insist on keeping things original, too. Iowa is beautiful. Thank you for sharing the adventure. Stay safe, and God bless.
Re the calendar - I did my dissertation on knowledge management systems in the city hall of a major city. Even though there was a shared electronic calendar system, everyone I interviewed also had a paper calendar of some type. There was something about what I called 'seeing across time' that made the paper calendars useful. People could see future dates better and for calendars with multiple months, like a big wall calendar, they could see back and forward. I was surprised. It was an interesting finding and indicated to me that we aren't anywhere near a paperless office. Something I've learned since - there is a difference between reading print and reading digital. That's why you want to make sure kids who are learning to read, learn from books. It's something about how reading print wires the brain. So looking back, there may have been some brain thing going on with the office workers that made them want to have a paper calendar available.
I know we have talked before about our mutual friend (Stephanie J) but this video brought back some amazing memories. I grew up in Ute and went to Charter Oak. Thanks for posting the video with those places. :)
It just occurred to me who you remind me of. You remind me of Larry Kubiak from the tv show Parker Lewis can’t lose from back in the day. No pun intended. Good video
You ever get that heater to work in that thing yet? Miss my truck camper. Let a former friend borrow it and he rolled his truck with my camper on it. Well now I got me a toy hauler fifth wheel camper traded in my travel trailer in for my toy hauler. Yup I packed my 300 lbs smoker in the garage area a bunch of hickory wood and few other toys and live the high life at the camp grounds lol. Hey bug, that is one way to go bald fast no hair cuts and ball caps all the time. That is cheating lol
Just a idea maybe jet the steps that you have in the KW for the truck camper and make some type of kids step or just a box you build that would fit some were in the camper just I out siders view
Watching all the problems with the “new” camper it’s a piece of junk. The top extension and plastic is going to fail and the electrical is going to catch on fire. Having a heater next to a propane tank! Dump it and get something newer less cost of ownership it will be much more dependable safer and be more fun.
I think I'd cut some of that Refexit stuff for all the windows and entire top area for insulation while camping out in the cold. Can't hurt might help.... Sorry, gave up camping in the cold when I left Germany. Ain't no place colder nor wetter than a forest in Germany, in January.....no matter what you do, you're cold and wet. As for fixing your furnace, have your local propane guys check it out once you put in new parts. PB
easy finding ur home, google street view helped. but i checked the back lane to find ur semi parked at the back in 2019, the truck u sold last summer. just my own private tour of ur town.
Those eggs could of been jazzed up with some sautéed onions, peppers and maybe tomatoes, just saying..., also l think it would be interesting and cool if you'd follow and video a bull hauler or fast moving semi at night in a convoy on the interstate for a few miles.
I like your vidios. L have a ram 3500 with a Artic Fox 811. Close your top vent and use your side window for air that way you wont loose as much heat. JOE
Hey Kurt I was wondering if you have ever checked the temperature of the floor. I have a similar camper and was going to put it on a trailer for ice fishing and camping hunting I like the idea of the upper insulation. Was wondering if I needed to put insulation around the outside of the bottom of the camper. Thanks for your input.
Okay I got to say it… You are officially a LOT LIZARD 🦎 LOL 😂 you need a outside light that is red, and I loved the comment of “I get blown “, I am dying lol 😂 No security system?‼️ not good.. I really like the fan on your heater, pretty cool 😎
WOW, Kurt took a month off from trucking and is now turning into a lot lizard.
You beat me to it.🤣🤣🤣
He must be good at it, ate $40 worth of eggs for breakfast!
Ha ha lol lol
😂😂😂🤣

Different is good. Really dig your mobile man cave. Truck it safe Kurt
Especially with a truck camper!! They will think you’re a pimp!!!😂😂 you opened yourself up to this! I am lmao on this episode!
Thank you Kurt for everything you do and for everything you represent your a very kind and very family Oriented you put you all and heart into everything you do keep doing what your doing because people can learn a lot from you and your family
supposed to be 59 degrees tuesday down here in topeka..hadn't had snow yet.
It's a kick to see you having some fun! Good to see you getting the camper into shape. Stay safe!!
Great video Mr SCHIMDT. Get well Sarah 😢. Take care SCHIMDT family and 🐕🦺 🐕🦺 🐕🦺 🚚 💨 💨 💨 💨
Here in England Christmas is twelve days before and twelve days after
Thank you .
Lol, dude don't you get enough of truck stops 🤣.
I know why you want to camp at a truck stop, the store has donuts....🍩
😍👍
Hahaha!! Good Point!!
Been watching your videos for a couple of years now.love your content
You can never get rid of them damn semis and get some quiet rest.😂😂
Those curtains may help hold the heat.
Thanks for the video Kurt. I think that I would like better in the woods better than a truck stop. I prefer peace and quiet. Take care you dork 😂😂😂😂
In my neck of the woods that’s called (the homeless). Lol glad your enjoying it so are we.
Hauled pigs out of charter oak and it is a very beautiful town the towns people where amazing.
I love seeing the Sinclair gas station stuff.. I remember seeing that stuff when I was a kid here on the east coast. Honestly thought they were out of business.
There are alot of those little towns in the midwest. My old hometown in IL has 250 souls including the town dog.
The ingenuity alone is worth the visit. Iowa winters are brutal.
Christmas lights stay up until Chrismas, then are changed to decorator lights until the end of January. Then they can come down.
Thank You For The Towns TOUR & Truck Stop Nice Video
No problem Ken thanks for watching
I take my lights down the day after Christmas, and the last place I would camp at is a truck stop Wal Mart has All the calendar s and keep up the good work God bless from GA and stay safe
Poor Opie and Jax! You left them “all alone” in the house with 3 other people! Hahaha.
Hope Warden feels better soon!
Y’all stay safe!
So abused lol. Atleast they think so lol

You have to go to a truck stop with lizards to show Bud!😂😂

If I was that close to home I’d sleep with mama
Amazing as always. God bless you

Mid life camping crisis! I am driving up to Cartersville to sleep in my pickup. NOT!
Love the truck camper! I can’t believe the Germans can’t get on their bed!!

Stay Strapped!!! You are your own First Responder!!!!
Since Supertrucker Dan bought his orange Peterbilt he camps every night he is on the road. Just a thought. Maybe a hint for you. Ha ha ha.
You should make another channel, adventures with Schmidt!!👍🇨🇱
Just a idea maybe jet the steps that you have in the KW for the truck camper and make some type of kids step or just a box you build that would fit some were in the camper just I out siders view
Could try it

Dump it and get something newer less cost of ownership it will be much more dependable safer and be more fun.
Like the camping idea great why to relax
Now you’re showing off eating those high dollar eggs 🤨🤨😂😎Rickster
Talking about your land there...Wisconsin is tons of farms from middle to bottom then northeoods on the upper one-third.
Fresh cracked pepper, good choice!
Interesting video Kurt , have a great week ahead.
Thank you
Oh no kurt is cooking now with the fan lol
I think you found an angle. I'm a driver out of Omaha and I do enjoy the sights and sounds of the small towns in IA, Ne and Ks.
I use to run Highway 30 and Highway 20 all the time
To 🥶 keep warm👍👍
Thanks for the temp conversion 🦦👍
Kurt I agree Christmas lights at the first of the year but I think it's been to cold to take them down. Stay Safe.🤙🇺🇸🇺🇸🤙
I just love your truck and camper! I'm currently on the hunt for the same sort of thing wish me luck!
Love your vids! Keep it up!
The fact the my GF calls me a truck driving goof ball makes me laugh at you!!!!
Isn’t Ute the bar that serves $1 beers and food on Sunday. I swear it’s where we have landed many times with the bikes. Good place!

Trucking looks easy when you do it also
I leave my lights on until orthodox Christmas (Jan 6).

Looks cold 🥶
Denison...my hometown!!
easy finding ur home, google street view helped. but i checked the back lane to find ur semi parked at the back in 2019, the truck u sold last summer. just my own private tour of ur town.
The moment I saw those trucks I smiled 😍❤
Gosh I would be worried/ scared with that propane tank inside. Keep up with the fun videos.
I believe truck camping is the best way to go
As much as I like travel trailers they limit your ability to go anywhere
Your camper is great! You're going to get a lot of use out of it, I'll bet!
Great vlog camping at truck stop.
Those eggs could of been jazzed up with some sautéed onions, peppers and maybe tomatoes, just saying..., also l think it would be interesting and cool if you'd follow and video a bull hauler or fast moving semi at night in a convoy on the interstate for a few miles.
Good work Kurt and some nice egg's you cooked there too buddy you all take good care of yourselves won't you Kurt
Thank you Wayne. Eggs are my favorite
Mine too Kurt
I like your vidios. L have a ram 3500 with a Artic Fox 811. Close your top vent and use your side window for air that way you wont loose as much heat. JOE
Great video Kurt 👍
Blowing you off....then just happens to mention that's where he met Sarah 🤣🤣🤣
Kurt,you Crack me up bud,I liked the part where you said you didn't want to blow yourself up,hahaha!! God bless ya',be safe

My brain works strangely.....all I'm thinking about is the Nativity Set in the yard probably smells like dog pee.....🙄
Start calling Bud, Buster Brown
Christmas lights? For some it seems to be Thanksgiving to Easter
Just a fyi, if you have a dollar store they got some cute calendars 😊
Ya I should stop in
They do make square water bottles
Would like to hear the pickup do a cold start lol
I think you might need a follow up MRI
I just picked mine up this week. I'm a trucker from nebraska . I go through Iowa every week. Any truck camper groups around?
Christmas light schedule is any date past Jan 7, Orthodox Christmas.
Hey Kurt I was wondering if you have ever checked the temperature of the floor. I have a similar camper and was going to put it on a trailer for ice fishing and camping hunting I like the idea of the upper insulation. Was wondering if I needed to put insulation around the outside of the bottom of the camper. Thanks for your input.
Didn't I see a toaster in ist class? Move it to the camper and have some toast with those eggs.
Okay I got to say it… You are officially a LOT LIZARD 🦎 LOL 😂 you need a outside light that is red, and I loved the comment of “I get blown “, I am dying lol 😂
No security system?‼️ not good.. I really like the fan on your heater, pretty cool 😎
I think they'd pay me to stay dressed
Measure once cut four times lol
