- I've been craving a long road trip for far too long and it's finally happening! I'll be sending it coast to coast and couldn't be more excited. Be sure to leave suggestions in the comments for cool places that I should check out!
Check out the video I posted earlier this week: • A Cozy Rainy Day in my...

TESS !!!!! Yesss !!!! Jonathan you finally listened to us. Tess is awesome. More Tess. Less Stress.
First of all, I have to say, reading the comments, reinforces my faith in humanity. Kudos to all of the commenters for the positivity and excitement for this young man’s journey. Secondly, thanks to you, Jonathan, for providing such good content . Professionally shot and edited, but more than that, a candid view Into the ups and downs of this life that you’ve chosen. I believe a lot of folks that may be in situations where they’re unable to do these things, live vicariously through your adventures. So, you not only get the joy of the travels, but I’m sure you feel sense of purpose in your work/play.
Best of luck to you on your trip. And prayers for your safe travels.
That was beautifully said and heartfelt, “Hear, hear!”
I second that
You will have the time of your life! So many people get on planes to travel from one end of the country to the other, and they miss all the beauty this wonderful country has. Drink it all in, and then plan more trips taking a different slice a bit further south until you’ve covered all the different treasures we have been blessed with here in the US from west to east/north to south! Safe travels!
First - your girlfriend needs to be in more videos as you two are a good match and it is fun watching your interactions. Second Good luck and have an amazing time it is so nice to live vicariously through you adventurers.
I'm so happy for you, Jonathan, and I can't wait to follow along with you. I've done this twice and still think of it as the most wonderful things I've ever done. It was quite a few years ago and I traveled in a Honda CVCC filled with my tent and other camping gear. The first trip took me three months and I drove 12,300 miles, and the second one covered almost as many miles but finished in two months because it was getting cold. If I could offer you some advice based on my experience it would be: 1)Avoid the Interstates; you see nothing on them. If you want to see America, travel on the old highways and drive through the towns. 2)Talk to people everywhere. Local folks will be happy to tell you about their area and fellow campers love to talk about places they've been. 3)Keep your plans flexible so that you can take advantage of new places you learn about. Have a great time!
3:04 🚣♀️ 😂 Tess is such a riot!! 😆💕👏👍
I hope the airing of this video is at least a week behind because the change is already happening in the east. Have fun!
Comedy relief by Tess….she’s a natural! I love it!! Safe travels y’all 🫶🏼🙏🏼💕👍🏼
We need to get her on here as a permanent cast member, right?!
Yes please! 😉🙋🏻♀️ Your banter is natural and sweet. I’m also super excited about your trip. I’ll be living vicariously through you! East coast foliage is on my bucket list as well!
Your cross-country trip is going to be epic. It will be made a lot easier and safer in this age of GPS, smartphone, and internet connectivity. Those will not only guide your travels but you'll be able to stay in touch with Tess. I know you haven't even started your trip but you really should think about returning via a Southern route to experience the "real" world 😉 Have the adventure of a lifetime and safe travels!
So happy for your upcoming trip. How many of us would love that journey too. Angels all around you, to keep you safe and guided to the best experience. Helene/Tx
Love it! Good luck. I can't wait to watch.😊
Safe travels! I look forward to watching your trip.
Looking forward to the trip and the videos that come along with it! I appreciate people like you who are willing to film experiences like this so I can live vicariously through them until I can get out more frequently myself!
Yay Tessa!!! So good to see her too! I’m looking forward to seeing your 4,000 mile trip! Safe travels!!!
Love it, can't wait to see your journey!
Every video with Tessa in it is gonna be a banger
Always fun seeing Tess with you on an adventure. Looking forward to sharing your cross country adventure with you. Safe travels and God bless.
Awesome! I for one can’t wait to see what’s to come! As you said, you have a nice big camper, so out that bad boy to use! Congratulations 🎉
Really looking forward to watching your road trip!!
Sounds exciting I’ve always wanted to do that 👍… make sure you don’t just stay on freeway, travel the back ways on smaller roads, see how people live across the nation… also I love when you cook & I’m sure you’ll be doing plenty but I’d be interested in seeing food places in different states/towns….Lastly please do more than 1 video per week… if you’ve watched Ryan twomay that’s all he does is travel across the USA & during those trips he will up his videos to 2-3 per week so PLEASE do more than 1 a week🙏
Fabulous, looking forward to that .. east coast beautiful this time of year !!
This is very exciting news being a fan from the midwest. Thanks for throwing us a bone lol. Cant wait to see the journey! Be sure to check out the Great Lakes!
So excited for you!!!!
Wishing you safe travels.... looking forward to seeing where the road takes you.....
I'm excited to see the world through your eyes. Praying for safe travels.
Hi Tessa! Have a good trip! I’ll be watching your adventures!
Awesome man can’t wait to follow along!
Can’t wait to see the adventures!!
So cool! You're doing something on my bucket list! Cant wait for the content👍
I'm stoked for your east coast trip! I am sure you going to have A LOT of fun. Just be sure to bring EVERYTHING you need.
Stoked for this! Have fun man!
I’ve been from WA to NH 5 times, traveled I90, I80, and I94. So much to see and do going cross country. New England is beautiful during leaf peeping. Safe travels!
Good luck on the trip sounds awesome dude
I’ve done two coast to coast trips, incredible experiences!
You’re gonna love your trip! Enjoy!
Can't wait to follow you across country, safe travels Jonathan!!!
Looks like an exciting trip! I look forward to your videos!

Dude, I’m really excited about this trip. I think it’s going to be amazing
BRAVO!!! SAFE TRAVELS!!!
Looking forward to it. Be careful.
Sounds like fun looking forward to going along for the ride and see what comes
Looking forward to the adventure! And glad I got to see Tessa.
Good luck man!!
Awesome! You will be traveling right past me in central NY, Utica! Lots of great places to see and explore here! I look forward to your adventures, Thanks!
My family and I did a 5,000 mile road trip from the Midwest to the Canadian Rockies with plenty of stops along the way, Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming. It took 3 weeks, but it was a great trip, we were able to see so much.
Jonathan, I ❤️ your videos and where you go, I'll follow. I ❤️ the midweek one, that was soooooo relaxing and I adore your kitty, I love your little place it's a nice house with yard, and I adore Tessa.
You and Tessa are couple perfection. You both are precious!!!
I'm looking forward to your travels, and as always, safe journey.❤
Awesome. I’m excited.
This is great JY
Super excited to see these upcoming videos. After that I’d LOVE to see you drive up to Alaska. Love the videos. Keep em coming.
This trip is gonna be the absolute best! So much to see! I def recommend popping over to Duluth, MN and the North Shore! And go through the UP. Some of the most beautiful views and places.
Great news that you are going on a huge road trip ! I will look forward to the videos. Hope you get back before it starts snowing up north.
Note you will be hitting snow areas of New England, New York and Canada, it gets cold here. Have a good heater, good snow tires and chains if needed. You need to be really prepared coming into this part of the country. Bring plenty of money too, for just in case. Have a great time and this part of the country is beautiful.
Enjoy your trip
Fellow Portlander, recently discovered your channel after I picked up a F150 for canopy camping! I did about a 1/3 of your route a few years ago in the opposite direction. If I may, SD is pretty boring but the Badlands make it entirely worth it, absolutely recommend. Also I hope you're in Minnesota before the winter really hits, if so I'd recommend Deluth and Lake Superior, it's trippy having grown up on the coast seeing so much fresh water! Safe travels and have fun!!@
I am excited for you and living all my life in the West I get it. Growing up road trips to the East was a regular thing in my family to visit my parents’ families. Next week I leave on my first long distance road trip. Just going as far as Des Moines Iowa to meet up with a lot of friends. But the getting there is what I am looking forward to and the different route home. Round trip it will be about 3,750 miles. My best to you and I am looking forward to seeing what you find out there.
Adventures awaits my friend.. so excited for what’s to come. Cheers 🍻
Great video. The Andirondaks are Amazing anytime of year. Hope you get to visit. Happy travels
can't wait to watch
Love the jump man, enjoy the adventure!
So stoked for you! Safe travels! I’ll be anxious for every upload. I’m a truck camper based in Freeport, ME and I have to say, as a Maine native, coastal Maine is a must see. Especially for the fall foliage. I’m so anxious to see it again myself, it never disappoints! Feel free to reach out if you want to go for a hike or SUP trip✌️
Have fun Jonny! I’ve driven across this beautiful country about 6 times now, hopefully I’ll get back to your part of the world one day, it’s special up there for sure. Stay safe.🌺🌲😊
GREAT SEEING TESSA AND YOU ON A ADVENTURE AND I HAVE TO SAY YOU TWO HAVE AN ADORABLE KITTY TAKE CARE AND SAFE TRAVELS
Jonathan, welcome to the east coast. Lots to see. Just in time for the fall foliage. Looking forward to your videos on your road trip. Safe travels👍🏼
I just drove from Toledo, OH to Canon Beach and back. You'll love it man. I've been all over the east coast too and it really is so different from the west. The middle of the country is the hardest part to get through. I would recommend going through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and back down instead of cutting through Chicago. There is a ferry that also connects Milwaukee with Michigan. Good luck man! Excited to see your journey!
Make sure you come through our beautiful state of Kentucky..lots of camp grounds..lakes and trails..the scenery is beautiful this time of year..safe travels🙂
Enjoy the drive!!
Watched on my tv .. but had to come to the channel .. I’m so ready for this adventure looking forward to the content .. safe travels
Happy trails!
Thanks!
Cool, you're going to have fun! I'll throw in my opinion that taking in some of the southern routes would be a good idea. I've done road trips in Georgia and along the Mississippi from Memphis to New Orleans, and they were both great. Lots of good hiking in Georgia, and I wouldn't be surprised if they had some fishing, too.
Hi from South Jersey! Can't wait to see your east coast adventures! Love Maine!
Woohoo!! This is awesome! I feel like I'll be tuning in to Jonathan's Road Adventures!! Can't wait to see where episode 1 takes us. The food, the scenery, the culture, the people. It'll be like a Travel Channel miniseries. Oooh, imagine Jonathan's Transatlantic Adventures. Ok, I'm getting ahead of myself. 😅 These follow-up posts are gonna be awesome to watch, though. Good luck, Jonathan!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Tessa and the cat will hold down the fort. Maybe they can make appearances via Skype or something. 😉
Hey Man, Big fan!!!. Good luck on your trip. I'll be following.
Those of us on the EC look forward to you coming out!😊
Sounds like it will be a lot of fun.
Can’t wait to fallow along with you across the country.
I’m happy to see you do a long road trip. It means you can’t take a sledgehammer to your camper for a while 😅 have fun!!!
Awesome trip! Tessa is stealing the show!! We did a perimeter trip around Lake Superior a couple years ago. Incredible. Went from Grand Portage, MN all the way around to Sault Ste. Marie, MI. What at trip. You'll love it if you can work it in.
I grew up New Jersey , so i have seen the New England fall and now live in Virginia!! The Blue Ridge Mountains are beautiful in the fall and we enjoy all the festivals !! Both are just breathtaking!! Welcome to the East Coast!!
Hey! Love this idea!!!
Very excited about your cross-country trip. The upcoming videos will be awesome for sure 👍 👏. And it was nice to see Tessa again, just love her fun wit ❤ 😄 😀! You are both so cute together ❤. Of all of your camper trucks, this latest one is my favorite. It feels so right ✅ and comfy for you.
You will have a great time. I was born in California, raised in the Rockies and currently reside in Michigan. My wife is from New Jersey. We have traveled coast to coast several times and it never gets old. The United States is a beautiful area, you will find the geographical differences amazing. I can't really say one area is more beautiful than another, just different. I too will be driving my truck camper from Michigan to northern California next year in the Fall, will be taking a route new to me and sharing your excitement. Safe travels to you.
I have been a subscriber for a long time and enjoyed your adventures and cooking. We live outside Denver and are currently somewhere in Iowa in our Bigfoot truck camper on our way home from Newfoundland. This is our third trip there and the first time was from Seattle. My advice to you is to get lithium batteries and a dc to dc charger if you want reliable power while on the road. I am 81 and my wife is 78 and we are going back to Newfoundland again next year. I am looking forward to watching your road trip videos. Have a safe trip!
That sounds like one heck of a trip! I look forward to following it. You should consider having a fan meet-up... perhaps in the midwest.
Cheers from IL!
Let’s roll-excited for new adventures.
Epic! Safe travels and foremost; enjoy! 😊
I look forward to following you on your great adventures, much love from Australia 🇦🇺❤
Wow jon! This is very exciting! We thought u will never engaged on a very long adventure camping trip. Short trips are cool but long and far away adventure trips are epic. Goodluck
Hi Johnathan and Tessa (Welcome back Tessa ) I can't wait to see the new up and coming trip
Howdy 👋 thanks for tuning in! More vids soon to come
Yay! You are coming close to where I live in New England!!
A lot of people from New England in this comment section.😅
A cross country trip sounds so exciting ❤❤❤. I would love to do a long long road trip. Stay safe, great to see Tessa❤
You'll have a blast! Pop up to Canada too...great colours in New Brunswick and Quebec!! Thanks for taking us along!! Cheers from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Hey G I've got forested acreage outside of Syracuse New York. It's no problem at all for you guys to stay here a night with the RV or stay in one of the cabins. Or grab a coffee. Along your route in the northeast id recommend Vermont and New Hampshire parks, and the Adirondacks. 🙏
Vermont, Mass, New Hampshire Fall foliage is worth the trip. Have a blast. Btw, make sure your AAA is updated.
I’m from the Portland Maine area, and have been here my entire life! Haven’t been out west yet but this video inspires me to get out more, and hopefully plan a trip out there sometime soon. Craft brew scene out here is great and you definitely need to get a lobster roll from high-roller!
Safe travels
Best of luck on your trip across the country! We have done it a handful of times in our Scout. We always stop off at Kebab House in Boise, ID and BBQ in Kansas City. Feel free to reach out when you pass through Ohio if you need a place to park the rig for a night or two!
There is nothing like road trips! Back in the mid-80s, I left my home state of NH and, with a friend, took my car and drove south to Florida, my final destination. The best part of the trip was passing through Virginia. Talk about scenic! My friend and I spent some time at the Luray Caverns. So awesome! I also enjoyed an overnight in Chattanooga, TN! Yee haw!!! 🤠😁
Good luck big dog. Saw you guys at the Safeway on King Rd. the other day btw. Safe travels on the road trip. Ive done it a few times. I feel everyone should do it at least once. That, as well as here to Florida via TX and LA. Done that one numerous times lol. Ive put hundreds of thousands of miles by now im sure. Storm chasing alone every year is between 10k to 20k ha.
With all of that said, the #1 tip I give everyone who sets off on a cross country trip is - When all else fails, theres always a Subway.... everywhere.
