I’m currently going through stage 4 cancer fight and I “escape” to your videos and it really helped me to feel so much better. I lived and tent camped all the areas you’ve videoed in this Wyoming locations so your work is so beautiful to me … great memories I do miss camping. Thank you so much for sharing …. And I’ll bet you never thought you’d be “cancer therapists”. Tell your bride Slavs Bogo ….
We both wish you well with your cancer fight! It’s nice to hear that our videos provide a little escape. That entire are is amazing and vast. I’d love a chance to visit again during warmer weather. However, winter has its own charm. We’ll be thinking if you!
@@Stonyboot think May before the summer hordes invade … also mid September to early October too … after the hordes thin out. Have a marvelous time and share the dream …. God bless you both and keep you safe.
My wife and I moved to Wyoming 2.5 years ago..... As a truck driver I can tell you now.... any time you're in Wyoming during chain season.Sept 1st thru May 31st.... The weather can change within minutes..... Very very strong wind gusts.... And never trust a ground that looks solid....
@@ryanlevron1972 Hey neighbor..I'm in Casper. I do outpatient hospice nursing and have to drive from Casper to Douglas pretty frequently. I HATE that damned wind! And people think they can continue to hit 90 mph anyway, no matter how icy and windy conditions might be.
@@Stonyboot Its near paradise here. I can recommend places to visit and stay that are not too "touristy". Our mountain range the "Blue mountains" are a gem of trails (rising to 6700ft asl) and full of adventures and are very safe. The beaches are great too.
Thanks, I do feel like a lucky guy! Sasha is a great sport with all of this stuff and she also enjoys it. Sometimes she gets a little nervous with bad roads, but we work it out and push on!
Yes. It gets damp in the corners and under the bed. We’ve been in Washington for a few weeks, it’s been in the 30s-40s at night and 40s-50s in the day. With nearly constant rain, it’s been a challenge to keep things dry.
@@Stonyboot get out of that NW in winter. Its storm after rain storm and or snow in Mtns lol head to Arz check out the Apache Tribe things n stuff much dryer. *Safe travels wherever u go.
We loved this episode (we love every ep, to be fair). It's a good life when you can have a handful of small victories each day, and you guys clearly work wonderfully together to achieve them. We've been in Jackson in the winter... that chill is no joke! Stay safe out there, you two!
Thank you! We do have our routine that works pretty well. Every day is filled with little tasks, so we need some kind of method to accomplish them. We were a little behind schedule with our westward movement and new that we would encounter some cold weather. We are now in Washington, and while its cloudy and rainy, its not terribly cold. Headed south next!
Hello just found you all, I have a couple who went from tent camping for quite awhile snow they just bought a new truck and camper, there test running it right know so looking forward ow to both watching vlogs with a truck camper
I'm an over-the-road trucker who also hates the diesel smell on the hands. Most truckers use dedicated fueling gloves. Keeps the smell off your hands and you don't have to go bare skin to the cold nozzle. Just a simple pair of mechanic gloves or leather work gloves will do the trick
Also, I don't know how big your DEF tank is but it might be a good idea to carry a gallon to a gallon and a half on the truck during winter months. In extreme cold, the DEF pumps freeze and then jugs sell out quick (don't ask me how I know, just trust me). Having an emergency supply onboard will keep you from being stranded. For my semi, I carry a 2.5 gal jug and that usually gets me about 1K miles.
I have a 2004 Pontiac Montana i travel in to film.....i say on some of my videos...."something breaks....like it will, the part is like a brand new vehicle...at least that part is" :).......Road Warrior on!
Great video full of beautiful views. I have been living full time in my 1994 25 foot class A Winnebago Warrior named Xena going on 4 years now, with my little dog Tinker bell. I love this lifestyle. Living my dream filming what I see. Im 60 years old and beat cancer. That is when I decided to take the chance to go live my dream. I will be watching more of your videos. I really enjoyed this one.
That’s awesome! We feel the same way. We don’t know what future will bring. We wanted to travel while we can, and not wait until we retire. It’s great that you were able to beat cancer and started traveling!
@@debscreepy great read, Godspeed and enjoy your travels. I retired from Fl forestry and bought a home in my beautiful state of Mi. I think about traveling like you all lol....But hard choice right now, plus i planted 30+ shrubs and evergreens on my lot want to see them grow up lol
Cute little boutique hotelstuffed parrots on the bed probably 28 years ago I believe it is still there and downtown I'm sure you are went to that bar with the silver dollars underneath the plexiglass like thousands and even on the ceiling if I remember
I really liked this video. It had a little bit of everything in it. Especially the traveling. I love road trips, and Nomads get to experience the ultimate road trip lifestyle.
Thanks for watching! This was a special trip for us, most of our time on the road isn't quite as exciting. I still look forward to driving every time we move!
Hi from nana mags here in the highlands on the banks of the Clyde .anyone on here from Scotland if so where ? I’m 75 married 55 years to a jock I’m from Liverpool but been up here 40 years I still have my accent my husband says no matter how long a Scot lives in another country they never lose there accent well neither do the scousers .I love these two for me there living the dream my god bless them it’s showing all us over here how some people in the rest of the world live keep on bumping along stonyboot ! X
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your story! We can't wait to visit UK and explore the area. I (Sasha) went to UK back in 2014 and got to explore England and Wales, it was an incredible experience! I'm hoping that together we'll get to see more of UK. And yes, Scottish accent is very unique and we love listening to it in movies and TV series!
First time here. We enjoyed your video, we have a 2019 F350 and a 2020 Arctic Fox 811. We enjoy truck camper traveling, though we live full time in East Texas on our 25 acre homestead. Wyoming is one of the states we have enjoyed a lot, especially YNP and GTNP, absolutely beautiful.
Welcome to our channel! Where in Texas? We have friends living near Granbury. Such a beautiful place! And yeah, this was our first time visiting Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. We are hoping to go back there during the summer.
Could you not put hose up front in the truck? Especially when it’s so cold and freezing and you know your going to get water. Probably help be flexible when needed.🤷♀️
Thats how I do my cords, but never thought to change the coil pattern with the hose. I'll give it a try when it gets warmer. This hose was very stiff and likes to stay in it's originally packaged coil. It's a stiff hose even when its warm out, but if change the coil, put some velcro straps on it and lay it in the sun, it might stay that way. Thanks for the tip! This hose is a nightmare to deal with if the temps are below 50f.
Thank you so much! Adapting plays a huge role in our travels. We used to get stressed and frustrated when things didn’t work out, but now we’ve learned to let it go.
Just got back from Encampment Wyoming to the south in the medicine bow national forest. Miss it already. Drove in 60mph winds....whitenuckle. Wyoming is such a bad ass state. Enjoy!
You hit the nail on the head, Wyoming is bad ass! We drove in 55-60 mph winds in Utah when we got blind sided by a wind storm. Took about 25 minutes to find shelter, that was rather scary. The wind was 90 degrees to our camper and it felt a little tippy. The next morning we were greeted with tornado warnings and had to outrun a thunderstorm. Crazy weather in the west!
This was the second time in 50k miles. Cory Driver suggested using loctite, which is a great idea. When we get back to a normal town, I'll get the correct bolt and add a dab of loctite.
Thanks for the video, was fun seeing you guys drive through my home state. Just remember, Jackson isn't really WY ;) It's more like a little annex of California in the middle of our state. Our winters can be brutal for sure, but we actually get less snow than you'd think. We tend to have 3-4 major storms over winter, essentially getting it all in one lump sum. The worst of it is the WIND. It's nothing to see 50-70 mph winds for days at a time. Gets really aggravating and can making driving really difficult. Semi trucks get blown over all the time.
Love your video! We love camping in the winter. We use the Little Buddy heater to get the temperature up so that we do not use as much propane on our Aldi. It only takes about ten minutes to warm our Cirrus up. It worked for us at minus eleven in Yellowstone and it’s safe for indoor use with the kitchen window cracked open. Once everything is up to temperature we shut it off. Safe travels and hope you can make it to the Truck Camper Rally.
Our Alde holds temperatures very well, once its warmed up. We use a hair dryer for that initial warm up, works well and has no fumes to worry about. Sasha likes to also warm her feet up with it... I do too sometimes :) We have the TC Rally on our list, but this year is going to be really complicated and we don't yet know if we will make it. But, we really want to, last year was a blast!
Going into freezing territory, carwash those wheels, water near walmart and at propane store. You are buying propane so just ask...Can I get water. DRAIN that supply hose. Cover windshield to hold in heated cab. Passthrough window to heat cab or just start dinner. Get better bolts at Wal-Mart or auto zone. Hope all that water doesn't freeze since it is so cold out. Best of luck!
We stayed in Jackson, WY and saw both Yellowstone and the Tetons the first week of June. It snowed 6" in Yellowstone and they closed the park until 1pm. Tge Tetons opened about 11am. Enjoying the video!
Thanks! Aren’t those park absolutely amazing?We can’t wait to go back there in the spring/summer and explore more. And the weather there is so unpredictable! We got lucky that we didn’t encounter any major closures.
Great video! Also, as a side note... the 6.7L Cummins motors don't use glow plugs... they have a grid heater that supper heats the air going into the intake... HUGE improvement over the old glow plug system! Sorry... I'm a diesel guy... I can't help myself! Again... GREAT video and look forward to more! Thanks for the content!!!
Thanks. And yes, I know that and I still said glow plugs. Old habits die hard I guess. Grid heaters are a fantastic improvement over glow plugs. Someday, I'll redeem myself by talking about it in a video. Thanks for watchign!
@@Stonyboot No worries! It's great to get winter RV camping tips and tricks... I'm about 5 hours (ish) north of where you guys were in the video... SC Montana... where winter resides for about 9 months out of the year! lol! Again... GREAT content! Thanks again!!!
I recommend you to have Mr heater for emergencies all you need little cans of butane gas you never know when you batteries can go dead , l love your video adventures😃🤟
Scott, love the videos. You are a wealth of information. Will be purchasing our truck and camper in the near future and I know you’ve mentioned some of it in your videos but would love to see a video about your truck, why you picked a ram, modifications you’ve done to it, specifically the suspension, and are you happy with everything or what you wish you would have done differently or any future plans for it. You seem like a someone who puts a lot of thought and research into your decisions and would love to get your insight.
We stay in Gros Ventre CG, (sounds like grow vaunt), near Moose, WY. Great views of the Tetons and moose come thru the CG. Especially in the fall. It has water and a dump station, no hook ups. Awesome CG
In the use of tiedowns / bungee cords, i go by the mantra " One is none, two are one, and three are two." I use one to tie down the load, the second to lightly back it up, and the third to back up the back up ...
I agree!!! I'm looking at getting a different bike, so I want to sell this one with minimal upgrades. But tubeless would a nice upgrade, any brand/product suggestions?
Hey Scott I read that you won the truck camper magazine calendar contest. That’s great. I will definitely be buying a copy when it comes out. It’s so nice watching you folks so we can learn from your experience in your truck and camper. If you’re travelling much in the cold put some quality diesel fuel conditioner in your tank. Diesel fuel can gel in the cold and the conditioner takes care of any water freezing in your lines. Today we put an order in for a 2022 Lance 1172 truck camper, largest model Lance makes. We picked out our options and colours paid the deposit. We traded our Lance 992 in on it. The camper will be ready sometime in late March next year. Looking forward to it. Safe travels my friends.
We were very excited to hear that we got a spot in the calendar! Thanks for following our adventures, it's pretty fun sharing it here on TH-cam 😎 Thanks for the tips, we haven't spent much time in the cold with our truck. I do use treatments from time to time, but I'll be looking at anti-gel treatments. I haven't had a problem, but I'm very familiar with what can happen. We are in a warmer location now, and plan to steer clear of the harsh cold if we can. Congrats on your camper purchase! Sometimes I dream of a nice big camper, but there are always tradeoffs. Those 1172s are impressive! Safe travels to you too!
Im so happy you won a spot in the Calender. You both certainly deserved it. Make sure i get an autographed copy. Or let me know how to obtain a numbered copy. #1 would be nice. Your favorite viewer and Navy Photographer. By the way i'm in Pensacola Florida for the 100th Aniversary of Navy Photographers this weekend.
Yea at times depending on where I'm at there's no free camping. And in the winters most campgrounds are closed . I'm in Tahoe and lots of snow ❄️ piled up still from last snow storm . A good thing here is they have the snow park passes $25 for the whole winter season . With that you can park legally in parking lots really close to skiing resorts and right on the lake . Works for me and my ski bum career .... Have fun at the beach ⛱️....I'm heading to Santa Cruz next week myself .....Happy trails 🌞⛱️🚚🍺
That sounds like a great deal especially if you're hanging around and skiing. We made it to the beach, but it's too cold for beach life right now. It's coming soon though!
Thanks for sharing exciting info, may I suggest buying a box of tongue-depressors or save your Popsicle-sticks, for scraping mud from your chrome wheels.
Thank you very much. This video was posted about 3 week after we left. We tend to run 2-4 weeks behind, except when we have something important to share. We hope to make it back there in the future, there's so much to see and we'd like to see it all in the warmer months. Jackson is spectacular!
We mostly use iOverlander. It shows water, dump stations, as well as great boondocking sites and campgrounds. We also use apps like Campendium (for cell service) and RVparky (for places to stay).
Look around at all the options, spend time in them and see what feels right and look for features that you really want. It’s such a personal choice that it’s hard to offer advice, just spend time on the details.
Great video. One idea: Get one of those 1/2 gal pump sprayers from nearly most box stores to use for many purposes. ($6-12) We use outside hand wash, clean muddy tires, fire pit extinguisher, even wash back steps/door. Has an adjustable spray tip to direct fog or straight stream as desired. Bonus idea: Bought propane sensor at Ace to watch out level. (Mopeka $35) monitoring by Bluetooth. Went to bed at 11% with lows at 35° and now at 1% on day 3. Ready to switch tanks soon as it empties or at bedtime. Safe journey!
I'm going to check out that propane sensor. Thanks for the tip! And we do have a spray bottle, but it was buried in the back of the truck. We really try to avoid deep mud, so this was a rare occation.
@@cirrus820travelers9 I did check them out and will consider buying it. The fact that it uses a sonic sensor makes more sense than most of the other systems out there! Thanks for the ideas!
Welcome to Wyoming, you two...and oh yeah, it's now November. The 'W' in Wyoming stands for wind. And then you settled in at 9,000' elevation? In November, in Wyoming. You were fortunate the snowfall was negligible. For me, two details that were enjoyed: Sasha, that's a nice sweatshirt with a great message. And somehow, I missed your license plate in the past. Says it all...
Thank you so much! I love the message on my sweatshirt too 🥰 We’re loving Wyoming, however, we want to come back here in the spring/summer when it’s warmer.
That was the plan, but the only car wash within about 3 hours was too short for us to fit. So a little water and my fingers did the trick. I'm really looking forward to getting to warmer, drier areas and getting the rig washed and waxed, she's over due!
Here is a suggestion to stop your bike rack to rattle so much. You need two short ratchet tie downs. Take one go from you tow hook on your truck to one end of your bike rack and use the other one for the other side.
Thank you. I did something similar using turnbuckles from a hardware store. It has helped tremendously. The bike rack itself is starting to wear out and I have a ratchet strap keeping tension on it to stop it from wobbling. After 50k miles, I can't really complain.
I’m currently going through stage 4 cancer fight and I “escape” to your videos and it really helped me to feel so much better. I lived and tent camped all the areas you’ve videoed in this Wyoming locations so your work is so beautiful to me … great memories I do miss camping. Thank you so much for sharing ….

@@Stonyboot the summers will be full depending on price of gas / diesel; but it's definitely worth taking the trip then too.
We would try to avoid the peak times, but having some warm weather to walk and hike around would be great!
@@Stonyboot think May before the summer hordes invade … also mid September to early October too … after the hordes thin out. Have a marvelous time and share the dream …. God bless you both and keep you safe.
Saying a prayer for you right now. Cast all your cares on the Lord, for he careth for you.

any problems with condensation in the cold weather , an old pair of gardening gloves is great for refueling

Enjoyed this video, even though it was about a year ago. Thank you.
Thanks for watching. I’m hoping to have some new winter adventures coming soon.
Guys just a thought....have you considered a diesel heater for the back of the campervan....cuts down on the condensation
Hello just found you all, I have a couple who went from tent camping for quite awhile snow they just bought a new truck and camper, there test running it right know so looking forward ow to both watching vlogs with a truck camper
That's awesome, and welcome to our channel!
Happy to watch because this couple is also around your age there just learning also how to live ful time in a truck camper 🥰🥰😊
This will be another great , I'm 83 yrs but you all can let me Dream of what i would have been interested on my bucket list 🥰🥰🥰
Helped me better understand the Alde system in real use. So many things to remember don’t forget to hug.
Glad it was helpful. We try to remember to hug occasionally 🤣
You guys are kool. I'm now a subscriber.
Thanks for joining us in our journey. Let us know what you’d like to see more of and we’ll do our best :)

Thanks!
I observed that you guys really do good team work together. I’m sure that’s required in that small of a space. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. Living in a confined space has its pros and cons. But we have learned to work together and how to handle the small space!
I'm an over-the-road trucker who also hates the diesel smell on the hands. Most truckers use dedicated fueling gloves. Keeps the smell off your hands and you don't have to go bare skin to the cold nozzle. Just a simple pair of mechanic gloves or leather work gloves will do the trick
I use either nitrile or vinyl gloves, I had just run out of them.
Also, I don't know how big your DEF tank is but it might be a good idea to carry a gallon to a gallon and a half on the truck during winter months. In extreme cold, the DEF pumps freeze and then jugs sell out quick (don't ask me how I know, just trust me). Having an emergency supply onboard will keep you from being stranded.

You should drain all the water from your hose before packing it away. If it freezes, the water will turn to ice, expand and crack your hose.
This was the only thing I could think of after seeing the hose full of water lol
Could you not put hose up front in the truck? Especially when it’s so cold and freezing and you know your going to get water. Probably help be flexible when needed.🤷♀️
If you coil your hose with the "over under" technique it is much easier to manage. You just throw one end when you are ready to use it.
Thats how I do my cords, but never thought to change the coil pattern with the hose. I'll give it a try when it gets warmer. This hose was very stiff and likes to stay in it's originally packaged coil.

I keep a spare set of work gloves in the door pocket specifically for pumping diesel, checking oil level and tire pressures. No stinky hands then.

The worst of it is the WIND. It's nothing to see 50-70 mph winds for days at a time. Gets really aggravating and can making driving really difficult. Semi trucks get blown over all the time.
Yeah, the wind can be a real problem, especially in the mountains! We loved your area, there's so much to see and do there.
I love that shirt DREAM BIG!! Amen.
Love your video! We love camping in the winter. We use the Little Buddy heater to get the temperature up so that we do not use as much propane on our Aldi. It only takes about ten minutes to warm our Cirrus up. It worked for us at minus eleven in Yellowstone and it’s safe for indoor use with the kitchen window cracked open. Once everything is up to temperature we shut it off. Safe travels and hope you can make it to the Truck Camper Rally.
Our Alde holds temperatures very well, once its warmed up. We use a hair dryer for that initial warm up, works well and has no fumes to worry about. Sasha likes to also warm her feet up with it... I do too sometimes :)
We have the TC Rally on our list, but this year is going to be really complicated and we don't yet know if we will make it. But, we really want to, last year was a blast!
Going into freezing territory, carwash those wheels, water near walmart and at propane store. You are buying propane so just ask...Can I get water. DRAIN that supply hose. Cover windshield to hold in heated cab. Passthrough window to heat cab or just start dinner. Get better bolts at Wal-Mart or auto zone. Hope all that water doesn't freeze since it is so cold out. Best of luck!
We stayed in Jackson, WY and saw both Yellowstone and the Tetons the first week of June. It snowed 6" in Yellowstone and they closed the park until 1pm. Tge Tetons opened about 11am. Enjoying the video!
Thanks! Aren’t those park absolutely amazing?We can’t wait to go back there in the spring/summer and explore more. And the weather there is so unpredictable! We got lucky that we didn’t encounter any major closures.
I was there that week. Tried to get in the east entrance my first morning and it was closed until they could plow Sylvan Pass.
Grid heater in-between the intake horn and the manifold. No glow plugs on Cummins engines. sorry just had to say that. Awesome video
I know, just force if habit. I’ll say it correctly in the future.
Great video! Also, as a side note... the 6.7L Cummins motors don't use glow plugs... they have a grid heater that supper heats the air going into the intake... HUGE improvement over the old glow plug system! Sorry... I'm a diesel guy... I can't help myself! Again... GREAT video and look forward to more! Thanks for the content!!!
Thanks. And yes, I know that and I still said glow plugs. Old habits die hard I guess.
Grid heaters are a fantastic improvement over glow plugs. Someday, I'll redeem myself by talking about it in a video.
Thanks for watchign!
@@Stonyboot No worries! It's great to get winter RV camping tips and tricks... I'm about 5 hours (ish) north of where you guys were in the video... SC Montana... where winter resides for about 9 months out of the year! lol! Again... GREAT content! Thanks again!!!
Suburb viewing and thanks for the tour.
Thanks for watching!
try using cordless drill to run your jacks up and down. Super fast and saves jack motors for load
That is a great idea, my cordless drills spindle speed is pretty high. I'll go check that out, thanks :)
Best of luck to the both 2 you
Thank you!
I recommend you to have Mr heater for emergencies all you need little cans of butane gas you never know when you batteries can go dead , l love your video adventures😃🤟
Thank you 😊
Scott, love the videos. You are a wealth of information. Will be purchasing our truck and camper in the near future and I know you’ve mentioned some of it in your videos but would love to see a video about your truck, why you picked a ram, modifications you’ve done to it, specifically the suspension, and are you happy with everything or what you wish you would have done differently or any future plans for it. You seem like a someone who puts a lot of thought and research into your decisions and would love to get your insight.
That video topic is on our list and I hope to get to it soon. Thanks for the suggestions and I'll get it done ASAP!
We stay in Gros Ventre CG, (sounds like grow vaunt), near Moose, WY. Great views of the Tetons and moose come thru the CG. Especially in the fall. It has water and a dump station, no hook ups. Awesome CG
Thanks for the tip! It's a beautiful area!
What a bummer!
You guys popped up in my feed. I loved this video! ❤
Best wishes!!
Thank you so much!
Same here Bee, first time i ever watched these 2
was tonight
Thank you so much!❤️
Next spring grass will not grow in the muddy tracks. .🤠
Grass usually doesn’t grow on roads and parking lots.
Why not a zero-gravity hose instead of wrestling with the stiff plastic one?
Because that's what we have :)
In the use of tiedowns / bungee cords, i go by the mantra " One is none, two are one, and three are two."
I use one to tie down the load, the second to lightly back it up, and the third to back up the back up ...
You might want to see if you can get a bolt that fits with a cotter pin. This would keep it from vibrating out.
Thats a great idea! I can just drill a hole and use a cotter pin for retention. I can use loctite too, but that's a brilliant idea! Thanks!
Lovely couple...enjoyable to watch and inspiring! New subscriber here...Cheers!
Thank you for watching and welcome to our channel!
If you can, going tubeless on the bike tyres is a game changer
I agree!!! I'm looking at getting a different bike, so I want to sell this one with minimal upgrades. But tubeless would a nice upgrade, any brand/product suggestions?
Hey Scott I read that you won the truck camper magazine calendar contest. That’s great. I will definitely be buying a copy when it comes out.
It’s so nice watching you folks so we can learn from your experience in your truck and camper. If you’re travelling much in the cold put some quality diesel fuel conditioner in your tank. Diesel fuel can gel in the cold and the conditioner takes care of any water freezing in your lines.
Today we put an order in for a 2022 Lance 1172 truck camper, largest model Lance makes. We picked out our options and colours paid the deposit. We traded our Lance 992 in on it. The camper will be ready sometime in late March next year. Looking forward to it.
Safe travels my friends.
We were very excited to hear that we got a spot in the calendar! Thanks for following our adventures, it's pretty fun sharing it here on TH-cam 😎
Thanks for the tips, we haven't spent much time in the cold with our truck. I do use treatments from time to time, but I'll be looking at anti-gel treatments. I haven't had a problem, but I'm very familiar with what can happen. We are in a warmer location now, and plan to steer clear of the harsh cold if we can.
Congrats on your camper purchase! Sometimes I dream of a nice big camper, but there are always tradeoffs. Those 1172s are impressive! Safe travels to you too!
Im so happy you won a spot in the Calender. You both certainly deserved it. Make sure i get an autographed copy. Or let me know how to obtain a numbered copy. #1 would be nice. Your favorite viewer and Navy Photographer. By the way i'm in Pensacola Florida for the 100th Aniversary of Navy Photographers this weekend.
Thank you so much Terry! Happy belated 100th Anniversary of Navy Photographers!
Keep a clean plastic bristle toilet brush to clean tyres and rims etc. It is a great effort saver.
That’s a great tip! Thank you!
Nice set up
Thanks!
Amazing video! Keep the good work!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the tip on the lock… just holding the lock icon…. Now have to break the habit of using the code….
No problem! It took us awhile to break this habit too😂
You have a very nice camper!
Thank you! We love it too!
Just found you guys. love it .. stay safe out there🙏🏻✌️👍🙋🏻
Thanks!
Yea at times depending on where I'm at there's no free camping. And in the winters most campgrounds are closed . I'm in Tahoe and lots of snow ❄️ piled up still from last snow storm . A good thing here is they have the snow park passes $25 for the whole winter season . With that you can park legally in parking lots really close to skiing resorts and right on the lake . Works for me and my ski bum career .... Have fun at the beach ⛱️....I'm heading to Santa Cruz next week myself .....Happy trails 🌞⛱️🚚🍺
That sounds like a great deal especially if you're hanging around and skiing. We made it to the beach, but it's too cold for beach life right now. It's coming soon though!
Thanks for sharing exciting info, may I suggest buying a box of tongue-depressors or save your Popsicle-sticks, for scraping mud from your chrome wheels.
I have tools, but didn't want to risk scratching the finish of the wheels. A muddy finger was an acceptable trade-off!
Hi guys , I live here in Jackson , let me know if you need anything while you’re here.
Thank you very much. This video was posted about 3 week after we left. We tend to run 2-4 weeks behind, except when we have something important to share. We hope to make it back there in the future, there's so much to see and we'd like to see it all in the warmer months. Jackson is spectacular!
really enjoyed your video , thanks from Spain , keep up the good work , love those winter camp videos
Thank you! We will be releasing 2nd and 3rd parts soon!
Welcome to my Winter World!
It’s beautiful, but cold!🥶
Good truck. Bab driver. !!!!
Hello, we love our camper, it's been a great home!
It's not cold out yet we usually get a week of -15 deg F in January and we have not had the snow in October November.
We don’t want to be in -15 F wether!🥶😂
It’s 28 degrees right now it has definitely warmed up…😂😂😂
😅
Talk about living you life to a schedule, chill out and enjoy the freedom.
I’m new here lately I’ve been obsessed with camping videos. Great idea to go to the dog park to get water
commonly referred to as a "Jake Brake" on 18 wheeler trucks it's used to help slow the engine down for easier on the brakes
We have an exhaust brake which is different from a compression release engine brake (jake brake). They both slow ya down though.
Love your channel keep them great videos coming
Thank you so much!
You should look into a diesel heater.
Thanks, but we prefer driving south instead!
1st time watching your video Very Beautiful country U both make an Awsome couple Will keep watching
Thank you so much!
I bought some tubes that won’t puncture. Cost more then tire but so far no flats or slow leaks🤗🇺🇸
Makes sense! We might do the same soon.
What apps do you use to find water? Dog park, is a new one to me..... Great idea!
We mostly use iOverlander. It shows water, dump stations, as well as great boondocking sites and campgrounds. We also use apps like Campendium (for cell service) and RVparky (for places to stay).
Just an FYI, there are no glow plugs in a Cummins diesel. You have an intake grid heater element instead.
Thank you. I know, it was just a mistake. Too many years with a tractor.
Any tips for a person who is trying to start a hardshell slide in bed camper full time living build?
Look around at all the options, spend time in them and see what feels right and look for features that you really want. It’s such a personal choice that it’s hard to offer advice, just spend time on the details.
Great video. One idea: Get one of those 1/2 gal pump sprayers from nearly most box stores to use for many purposes. ($6-12) We use outside hand wash, clean muddy tires, fire pit extinguisher, even wash back steps/door. Has an adjustable spray tip to direct fog or straight stream as desired.
Bonus idea: Bought propane sensor at Ace to watch out level. (Mopeka $35) monitoring by Bluetooth. Went to bed at 11% with lows at 35° and now at 1% on day 3. Ready to switch tanks soon as it empties or at bedtime.
Safe journey!
I'm going to check out that propane sensor. Thanks for the tip! And we do have a spray bottle, but it was buried in the back of the truck. We really try to avoid deep mud, so this was a rare occation.
The fuel level 'gauge' that attached online with tank hose has been useless. Returning to store. Sensor from Mopeka works much more accurately.
@@cirrus820travelers9 I did check them out and will consider buying it. The fact that it uses a sonic sensor makes more sense than most of the other systems out there! Thanks for the ideas!
Approx :35...You are one lucky Dude!
Yeah, all was going well until... it sank. I hit reverse and backed out without too much drama. Too bad I did't get it on camera...
Welcome to Wyoming, you two...and oh yeah, it's now November. The 'W' in Wyoming stands for wind. And then you settled in at 9,000' elevation? In November, in Wyoming. You were fortunate the snowfall was negligible. For me, two details that were enjoyed: Sasha, that's a nice sweatshirt with a great message. And somehow, I missed your license plate in the past. Says it all...
Thank you so much! I love the message on my sweatshirt too 🥰 We’re loving Wyoming, however, we want to come back here in the spring/summer when it’s warmer.
Yeah next time kicked to a car wash it happened to me just the same it'll take care of it right away .good luck next time sir.
That was the plan, but the only car wash within about 3 hours was too short for us to fit. So a little water and my fingers did the trick. I'm really looking forward to getting to warmer, drier areas and getting the rig washed and waxed, she's over due!
Town of Jackson has a nice park where you can fill your water.
Was it right next to the library? We might have filled up there!
Lol and it's not cold yet as WY standards go. Toughen up cupcakes
Cold enough for us, we can just move south.
Here is a suggestion to stop your bike rack to rattle so much. You need two short ratchet tie downs. Take one go from you tow hook on your truck to one end of your bike rack and use the other one for the other side.
Thank you. I did something similar using turnbuckles from a hardware store. It has helped tremendously. The bike rack itself is starting to wear out and I have a ratchet strap keeping tension on it to stop it from wobbling. After 50k miles, I can't really complain.
