🌼 Thanks! I checked out the blog, saved this video, and I have some of the apps on my home screen. I'm preparing for "someday".
Stay safe!!!
Awesome!
EFS works for diesel Class C's as well.
You guys are definitely my favorite RV info folks. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Our pleasure!
Glad to see you are going on the road again. Happy trails.
Us too!
Thanks to you and Phil we are using RV Life and EFS and allstays. Love them all! Will be signing up with Harvest Host when we hit the road again.
That is awesome!
We have been playing around with RV Trip Wizard for a little bit. We are not traveling at this point but I love researching.
Happy to hear Phil is getting better.
Lou & Angie
Thanks you two!!!
Great information you two. I will keep it in mind when we get ready to take off againl
Thank you for another great video.
Stacey you are such an impressive and virtuous woman. We continue to keep Phil in our prayers and hopping for a full recovery soon.
Thank you so much!
Re the socket left up with the AC, ROFLMAO!!!!! I love it. I LOVE it!!!! Gonna be so funny to see if Phil watches the video or reads the comments and notices. LOL
love that high and tight but through much of my naval service I was a rebel and pushed the envelope of hair styles. Glad that you are doing well, and keep traveling.
Right on!
So glad you two are healthy and still active. Please stay safe! The COVID 19 is so high around Lackland AFB these days!
It is high in San Antonio thats for sure.
Thank you for the mention! We LOVE you guys!
We REALLY, REALLY love you guys!!!
Great information glad to see your shoulder is going so well Phil! Fingers crossed you get on the road soon. Hugs from down under
Thanks so much
This is one of the most ADD videos lol - you guys are awesome! Thanks for the tools. Stacy please do a deep dive and show us how you do it as you plan a trip! I would love that!
I did. See if this is what you are looking for: blog.todayissomeday.net/2019/08/03/rv-trip-planning-tips-step-by-step/#.XwpzeS2z2L8
I have changed my style a little bit but it is basically the same.
Just a suggestion! When you put the plumbers tape on for the water heater you need to put it on in reverse. That way when you screw it back in the tape tightens up better. It’s confusing I know. Watch a video on how to put plumbers tape on if not understanding. Love watching your videos. Be safe!!
Love the info in this. Some new learning here. Thanks Stacy & Phil! 💙
Glad it was helpful!
You guys are awesome, thanks for sharing and as always stay safe,safe travels, and God bless love ya Nancy
Thank you! You too!
I got my fuel card last week! I used your RV Channel as my reference. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks so much!
Another home-run. Wow, your videos are so informative and helpful. Thank-you!
Glad you like them!
I used RV Trip Wizard for the three week trip to the north east and it is great.
We agree!
Another great video! Thank you! Great range of motion there Phil! See you on the road one day!
You bet!
Thank you! We love watching you. Not only are you our style of people, but your rig is similar and your travel style is the same too. Only thing is we’re not into alcohol or golf... but that’s okay! When we need advise specific to our style or our rig, we check your videos. (Most of our other fav channels have 5th wheels and plan way in advance). So once again, thank you!
We dont golf either unless you count Top Golf! lol But we do like the view on this golf course! lol
Sound more accurate than my method, a map (now it’s Google maps instead of Rand McNalley) & um, oh, a calendar. Last big trip I also used a book ‘Artisan Cheeses Across Canada’ or something like that. Unfortunately we waited 10 yrs to use it for a trip. Anyways, I will check to see which ones suit our type of travel. Thanks!
You convinced me. Signed up for RV Trip Wizard. Thanks for the 10% discount!
Hope you enjoy it!
As always, Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! Good to see you Dean. We hope you are doing well.
My wife and I just purchased a new travel trailer and are planning to go south for the winter. I have been watching a lot of videos on RVing to try and avoid the beginner mistakes. I want to thank you for all the help, your channel and just a couple of others seems have the most usable information and you present it in a entertaining way that is fun to watch. Thanks again.
Thanks so much!
Love that rv park in video. That grill area is awesome
We love it! I am getting spoiled.
Thanks for the info. My wife has already been looking into all you mention. Hope to meet you some day. Safe travel's
Any time!
Chad and Tara's lastest video on internet information is very good. Great video Navy.
Thanks for the tip!
Leaving today on a two week trip from San Diego to MS and return. This is our first major trip in our new rig. Will get these apps and use them. You couldn’t have posted this video at a more opportune time. Love your channel! A BIG THANKS from an AF Vet.
Have a great time!! I hope you love these tools as much as we do!
My bud, Terry!
If it is scorching hot like in the south, if you don’t have a generator, would you stay at a harvest host or boondocks welcome? Definitely need ac to sleep at night. Traveling with a Fifth Wheel
Great Info, thank you!
My pleasure!
Love your videos, subscribe a while back, so informative and useful. Hope to be able to get on the road soon.
Thank you!
Glad to see you're both doing well. Greg & Marsha Locke
Thanks so much!
Good information thanks. Enjoy your travels 😎
Thanks, you too!
Another great video!!! 😄♥
Yay, thank you!
Hi Folks, I love your channel. Your videos give the most useful information for living the RV life I’ve found. Than you. Happy Travels 😎
Thanks so much!
You guys are awesome, thanks for your tips.
Thanks for watching!
Thank u so much dear very effective tuturial have a nice day
You two are awesome
Thanks so much!
Congratulations on Phil's almost-healed elbow! Good job.
Yes! Thank you!
That fuel card is Awesome, I use it to fill up my Super C and it saves me a lot of money,thanks for the other tips I will be checking them out !
We love it too.
Frank D'Amelio no my last motorhome was a Class C,and much smaller. I went to a Super C because I really like how they drive,mine drives like my pickup only bigger. I am use to driving farm trucks so the size doesn’t bother me at all. But you can drive it one handed all day long,it drives that well. In my opinion they are much safer,God forbid I ever get in an accident but I have a lot of heavy stuff in front of me,not like a Class A where it’s you and the windshield. The Class A’s you and the passenger set over the top or in some models you are in front of the steer wheels and I don’t like that at all. Also I like the fact that we each have a door to get in and out of instead of having to use the camper door to get in and out. And I pray it never happens but if you would lay it over on it’s side you can’t get out ! I am a diesel guy they have much more power and torque and can pull much more,I pull a Jeep Wrangler and I don’t even know it’s back there,I leave the rear camera on so I can see it. I know that’s not much weight but I could pull 20,000 if I wanted to,witch I never will. As for maintenance you change the oil every 25,000 miles on my Cummings,if you would get a bigger one than mine ,like a 45 footer with a tag axle and get a Detroit DD13 they go 50,000. So it might cost a little more to have it done but you will do a gasser 5 times or more compared to mine. I am 68 years old and I gave up getting under my vehicles to change the oil a while ago. Some people say you have more room with a Class A but you don’t and if you buy a diesel pusher getting to the engine is a nightmare and a mechanic has to go in and out of You coach to pull the rear floor up to get to the motor, Super C just tilt the hood,easy as can be ! Sorry for the long post , I could go on and on. But you won’t be disappointed if you desire to go this way. There are tons of videos on SuperC’s check them out ! If I can help you out just let me know. Super C all the Way !
For GAS RVs, the Gas Buddy app works well. I like the mapping capability to find stations. Just plug in what your want to buy, such as REGULAR 87 octane, and the map populates the map with all the gas stations nearby, with a price. Invaluable tool for GAS, similar to EFS for diesels.
Good to know!
I have used the app GasBuddy for getting gasoline for our vehicle. I plan out our stops for gas before we leave our site. It really helps to be able to check the prices ahead of time.
That is a good one.
Great job.
Thanks!
Thank you for the good information:):)
Our pleasure!
Wonderful!!
Thank you! Cheers!
I’d like to hear about your stay having the cabana? It looks super cozy...happy to hear that you got a good review from the doc...
Check out Alsatian RV Resort in Castroville, TX. It is an awesome place to park for a bit. The Casita has a full bathroom with a walk in shower....and it's is air conditioned. The outside has a great outdoor kitchen area, grill, sink and fridge.
Fantastic video!
Thanks guys! I hope you are doing well!
Have ever looked the app the dyrt it looks good
We recently stayed at a Harvest Host for 2 nights. She asked, “How many nights?” So sometimes you get a bonus😃😃😃😃
We love when that happens!!
Applied for the fuel program... Put you guys down for the referral... Thanks for the great info!! See you on the Road.... CamperManDan...
Awesome! Thank you Camper Dan!
Oh I am not going to say anything about the ____ on the ____. I carry a lot of those and I know when one is ______. So I always double check before I cover up. You did gooooood.
Thanks for keeping my secret! lol
Great video
Thanks!
Thank you guys for putting all that great information about the apps
that will come in handy for people that are planning to become RVs
someday you guys are great after I sell my home that will be my next step thanks again for the help that you give us in TH-cam ⚜️⚓🚞
🇺🇲 🇵🇷 😊 🖖🏼 🤟🏼
Our pleasure!
A small clarification. Almost all of the host locations for BW and HH are private property. The difference is actually commercial (HH) versus non-commercial (BW). There are, however, a few locations that participate in both programs.
good luck finding a camp site, everything is crazy busy, more so than ever
I am sure it will be that way all summer.
Just joined Boondockers Welcome and used your code, thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
Stacy, I like your order of operation on your app usage, our first go-to is Harvest Host then Boondockers Welcome second, but amazingly everything else is the same order! And we know how you feel...Phil - being stationary in the same place for to long....explorers are meant to be out exploring! 🚌🛣🚲🧭 Opps...I forgot to mention FamCamp website.
We love our military campgrounds too! They are always in the back of our minds.
9:15 - WOW..... My wife would NEVER lose a socket like that!!!! I know this because in 37 years of marriage, she's never touched a socket wrench! 😁😂🤣😊
😂😂😂
For some reason, this video reminds me of a time my grandmother and mom were going somewhere in Grandma and Grandpa’s pickup. The truck had a homemade canopy. Grandma got a little close to something and broke a chunk out of the corner of the canopy roof. She very hurriedly got a piece of the roof material, cut it to fit, installed it and painted it, to keep grandpa from noticing. I only heard about it because my mom was a witness.
I love that!! I think I would love to chat with your Gramma!!
great info, we love our EFS card also. Hey Phil I saw that Broncos face mask, Go Raiders!
Good luck with your two wins this year. lol :)
@@todayissomeday Lol, as long as we beat the Broncos twice
I continue to enjoy your insightful videos. Keep them coming! Have you experienced any difficulties flat towing your Jeep? My wife and i intend to purchase 4WD, possibly the Grand Cherokee. I've read about the "death wobble" associated with some Jeep models.
LCDR Stephen & Laura Baker
They correct the death wobble so our 2019 does not have a problem.....thankfully!
We love RV Trip Wizard! A heads up, AllStays is not available on Android. They used to be but was taken down in 2017 (according to what I read). We also love HH and used them for the first time in Kingman, AZ at Desert Diamond Distillery. They were amazing! Great videos! You guys are awesome! We will definitely check out RVillage! 😁
You are right. I dont know why I said that.
I have been playing with Trip Wizard a bit, but one thing I don't like about it is that all the icons for campgrounds are the same. I really like the AllStays App because COE parks, State Parks, etc. have different icons and I don't have to look at every campground to find my preferred ones. I also like the trip planning tool in RV Parky. That is currently my go to app for trip planning. Very user friendly. Also, I have been trying to use the EFS App price locator but all it does is try to load and it never does. I may be doing something wrong and need to delete and reload or something. Glad Phil is recovering nicely. We just took delivery of our new Tiffin last week and are looking forward to hitting the road.
The icons are not the same on RVT. State parks are brown, COE is red with castles, etc. Has it been a while since you logged on? I have also used many of the apps you are talking about as well. Also, the RV Fuel Savings program is working on their own app. It should be out soon without all the EFS bugs!
Very informative....and very funny. I'm not saying another word....
You are the best! 😂
Thanks for your service, I’m also retired Navy. Do you use the military campgrounds? How often? Does it save money?
Yes! We do love military campgrounds. Military campgrounds are always cheaper than the surrounding area. We have spent $17-50 a night at military campgrounds. The $50 a night was up in the DC area (Fort Belvior) where they are over $100 a night off base. They are always a good deal and of course we love the base amentities!
Hi! I love you guys and your channel. I was wondering something about your planning process that I didn’t see in the video. Do you have an app that keeps a map and timeline of your completed route/past trips? If you wanted to go back and let’s say see where you were at last August could you pull up a timeline easily of where you traveled and stayed at, etc?
Yes! RV trip Wizard! It holds your current trip and saves all of your old trips. I go back in to the old trips to find campgrounds I want to go back too.
Please consider posting the GPS boondocking sites you have been to.
I'm 100% disable Vet. and I will be purchasing hopefully a Accessibility Enhance RV. I want to say thank you Phil for your service.
I want to know if I can join todayissomeday.net if I don't have my RV yet Also thank you Stacy for your great videos/blogs you put out. Good JOB
Did you mean RVillage? The answer is absolutely!! Many people go and gather info before their purchase. TodayisSomeday.net is our website.
@@todayissomeday Yes I get a little confused at times getting old, thank you
Be mindful a few northern states said they would do as texas a few months ago. If you arrive from a covid-19 hot spot you would have to quarintine for 30 days. Probably slow your trip down a bit
Thanks for the tip.
Hey Phil, glad your shoulder repair and rehab is going so well! When did you have surgery? You must be kicking the rehab hard! And, how muchfuel does your rig hold and what is your average gallons fill-up?
Thanks Mark. I had surgery May 15th. I have had PT 3 times a week for almost 7 weeks now. I really did exactly as they said so that I could get back on the road pain free....almost there. We can hold 100 gallons of diesel and I normally fill up around 1/2 a tank. We can't go below a 1/4 tank or the generator will not run, so it leaves me a 1/4 tank to play with.
Hi Stacey back when we met in Pa last year at the meet up we talked about RV Trip Wizard and the one thing that
you didn't like about RV Trip Wizard was that they added stops on as apposed to in between. You were talking to them
and I was wondering if they changed that. Thanks Bill & Eleanor
YES!! It has been updated. I dont know if it is rolled out to everyone because it says beta testing on the top corner of my screen. I have been playing with it and I love it. It will tell you how many days are gapped and you can lock in dates. So now when I actually book my reservations I can lock in those dates. Adjusting stops above the lock will not move it.
@@todayissomeday Thanks Stacey we watched the newest post from RV Trip Wizard and see the
change they made and will be looking to purchase. Are ya'll affiliates with RV Trip Wizard?
We use RV Life app for directions and while I like it, it tends to drop GPS quite frequently. Even while we are just driving down the rosd. It's a little unnerving. Maybe they can look at this. Next I need to download All Stays! Thanks for the info. Really helpful, as always😁
Oh, and congrats to Phil on the shoulder rehab. My other half, Aimee, has had both shoulders done (left one just in January) so we know the process is long and demand patience!
Thanks for sharing!
I don't believe you have done a segment on "setting up the galley" and I wished you would. In the process of getting a Renegade and my first RV galley. Thanks
We do have one. It is in this video: th-cam.com/video/FeCG8h2KpwI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the tips. I guess pink is your fav color? :)
Yes it is!
Hello Stacy and Phil, where are you guys staying in Texas? We enjoyed the video, Josie is enjoying putting the planning tools together.
We are in Castroville.
You, Me & the RV thank you, we have a good friend who is being stationed in Fort Eustis, we are driving to visit and will be using the applications you recommended to plan our trip and find a nice RV park in the process. Probably will stay for about one or two weeks.
🎶 On the road again, I bet you can’t wait to get on the road again!🎶 Be thankful you can’t hear me singing! 😃
RV Life looks like a great app. When I found it in the App Store it only said “get”. I know we would get 30 days for free but could you tell me how much the app is before I download? Is the cost an annual fee?
Wayne and Carrie
You can download for free and use some features. If you want to upgrade to use all the features I think it is $40 but that also includes the cost of RV trip wizard. So you would have that as well.
You, Me & the RV Awesome! Thank you for the quick reply!
Thanks for the video. Do you need both RV Trip Wizard and Allstays? Isn't there some duplication?
yes, there is duplication. You dont have to have them both. When I started RV trip Wizard was not an app. So that is how my style evolved.
Looks like we will all be hitting the road at the same time, perhaps our paths will cross since we are in the same state. Harvest Host has paid for itself so fast and we are only 2mo into full timing. TSD is the best for saving diesel money. Allstays ONP is my last go to when I cant use Harvest Host or Passport America.
Congrats! Sounds like you are fast becoming a seasoned RV'er.
Inquiring minds want to know: what rv park were you in when you did the last few videos? It looks amazing. Enjoying the videos you guys are sharing.
We are in Castroville, TX at the Alsatian RV Resort. We love it here!!
Yes my thoughts exactly.
There’s neighbours who should hear her yelp as she falls...jk. Stacy looks comfortable up there but not over confident, it’s the nervous Nellys who are the ones to worry about.
Yes I like your RVillage work. But I am trying understand the part about “It Takes A Village.” 🤣👍
Meanwhile did you get your mail?
No not yet.
Next Exit hard copy is only thing I would add
I haven't seen their hard copy.
Have you done a tour of the building you are sitting at. I am curious as to what it is.
Yes, it is a casita attached to our campsite. We love it and are getting really spoiled! Here is a tour: th-cam.com/video/6UixfBeWjK0/w-d-xo.html
Another great video. I've checked out your website but can't find the driving finance app you said was the bonus. Am I missing it somewhere? Thanks. Safe travels & happy camping!!
The app is called Mileage Keeper. It is not technically a finance app but I made it into one.
@@todayissomeday Thank you!
Do you have an old school Rand McNally atlas on board when the cell or WIFI doesn't work?
We have a truckers version of the Rand McNally.
I have a question Staci? You were talking about the apps you use boon dockers welcome, harvest host, etc. and that you pay a yearly member ship. My question to you is, do you have to pay like a nightly rate on top of the yearly membership?
Nope.....your annual membership pays for your stays. You just need to call ahead to see if they have availability and pull in if they do. If at a HH, they would like for you to coming into whatever business it is and maybe buy something, but not mandatory.
@@todayissomeday OK! great, thank you.
Which GPS do you guys use and are you guys able to transfer your trip wizard routes into your GPS?
We have several that we use including Garmin 770, coPilot and RV Life. To use the RVT Wizard GPS download the Rv Life app. It will download it for you on your phone.
@@todayissomeday I asked because I have the Rand Mcnally Overyde 7 RV and I haven't been able to transfer the route into the GPS.
Does RV trip wizard have to be connected to wifi? If you have a trip inputed, does it retain it so that you can access as your moving down the road?
You have to be connected to download it initially after that if you lose wifi or cell signal you will still have your route.
Question for y'all. Do y'all take advantage of state park passes for disabled veterans that some states offer, and has Phil gotten his free lifetime America The Beautiful pass?
Yes, we have the access pass and use it where we can. We have used the access pass at COE and in a few states but unfortunately not many states we have been too will take ti. Some states require you to be a resident of that state. But we always look to see where we can save on camping.
In what park was this video shot? Looks amazing!
Alsatian RV Resort in Castroville, TX
Can the fuel card be used if I’m not hooked up to mu 5th wheel?
I dont see why not
Hi! Tried to sign up for RV Trip Wizard with your discount code - ymrv, but it comes up error. Am I misunderstanding? Thank you
BTW, love this video!
Will you send me an email so I can pass it along to the right people? Youmeandtherv@gmail.com
What is that beautiful park where you are doing this video?
Alsatian RV Resort in Castroville, TX
Can you have a gas Class A RV fixed to add diesel or switch to diesel without having to buy another RV?
The most direct answer is: No. The cost to convert is so.....Just, no. Convert isn't even a good word. The word is replace. On top of that, if you have a generator...well you're going to have to replace that as well. Just buy a diesel pusher and save yourself a million headaches and a ton of cash.
I dont think it would be cost effective.
Never a disappointment!
Thanks so much!
Yay! Philz has been a good patient and doing his PT! It's gonna be so great for you guys to get back out on the road again - both mentally and physically. I'm sure you are more than ready to head for cooler weather, new sights to see and plenty of new adventures to experience. Gosh dang it - when you said AllStays for Android I got all kinds of excited, but alas, it is still not available for Android yet. At least not that I can find in the Google Play Store or on the AllStays web page. (if you know of a secret web page where the app is located for Android text me the ecretsay odecay 😉 )
Yes, I slipped! It is not android. My bad!
Do you use RV Life Wizard as your navigation device, or do you export to a Garmin or like device?
Great info!! So glad Phil is progressing so well! There is a Gas app that gives you cash back, it's called Get Upside, we average 12 - 15 cents a gallon cash back, you can cash it out several ways also. I think Diesel is included in this also and you don't have to give them your checking acct. info.
Thanks for the info!
I just started using it and it is working great! Regular unleaded.
Where are you staying in San Antonio? It looks nice. Is it only for Class rigs? After watching one of your videos I joined RVillage. I have a lot of photos to share and thought I would do it gradually as a simple post. Should I, instead or in addition to, should I also post them on your RVillage page? Thanks!
Alsatian RV Resort in Castroville, TX. We would love it if you shared them in our group.
