In this video, I show you searching for camp, how to get level and then my unpacking and set up routine. Enjoy! If you like my videos, please subscribe ---> TH-cam.com/@CarolynsRVLife
Thanks Carolyn. Always good to know. I watched this interiew by Myalim Bialik (blossom) and thought you'd love it too. Interviewing Danny Trejo on her YT channel called Breaking It Down.
I would explore more because of the wind forecast. You made a great choice and gorgeous! I am amazed that you have been doing this for so many years. I never thought you would have lasted so long. You are an amazing person. You should write a book! I used to watch you all the time and then started working and now decided I better check in with what Carolyn is doing and my husband also checked in too. Bless you!
I like Carolyn's channel because, she does NOT change with the prevailing winds! Carolyn is Carolyn always and forever......thank God for the original staying the original!!! 👍👍😃😃
Hola Carol sigo viendo tus videos y me encantan. Espero que pronto estes por aca en Colorado. No habia comentado porque tienes muchos comentarios. Pero quiero que sepas que te sigo siempre.
I like your final decision on the campsite. Really pretty! So much fun to follow your reasoning! My son just got back from Doran’s recreation for 5 days. He sent me pictures. Lots of trails out there to walk. Very windy in the afternoon and retreated inside. He has a Lance 21 ft. In 2017 we, husband, son and13 yr old sheltie and myself went across country from Boston, MA to Folsom,CA in 11 days. He had work commitments so no real sight seeing along the way. So that was quite the trip. So any beautiful places to see in this world. 😍🌻🕊
ProPublica has a story on last year’s NM fires. If you’ve never been to Chaco Canyon, I think you would love it if the road is doable for you. Canyon de Chelly and State Road 84 north of Santa Fe into CO are really spectacular too. I’ve always travelled by myself, including long road trips. I miss it. Thank you for living the life I dream of.
I liked you video, it explained so much to me. You showed me what I would need to do if I bought a Winnebago,they are like your set up, & hit the road to travel Australia. Wishing you safe travels, Elaine from Queensland,Australia.
Wow! So beautiful! I would have checked down the road too. But I’d go back as you did. And pointing your nose to the wind is great except if it meant you don’t have a quick exit if needed. Then the back goes to the wind. Love the music too!
I have a 21' Itasca so i can totally relate to the fun of packing and unpacking when changing locations. And i have driven away from several places because they were sooo unlevel. Be safe.
I really enjoy watching.. Makes me feel like I'm there. My guy and I will be doing this soon and it helps.. and the excitement grows watching your videos.. Thanks a bunch!!
I am moving to Santa Fe NM tomorrow. Chance of rain for 3 days but my prayers say it will be light, Trust God! Always a pain to set up, but then relax!
Thank you so much for the detailed information on finding a spot, leveling, I think thus may be one of your best videos on all this procedure. Or maybe just said in another way that U completely understand. 😅😂😅😊 Have a blessed day my friend. 💖🌟
Oh my gosh, I have two little levelers that I've had for awhile now but haven't attached them any where because I couldn't figure out where. It never dawned on me to put them inside my RV like yours are. I thought they were suppose to be mounted on the outside but I see yours mounted inside your rig which is a brilliant idea. You can get a good idea on how level you are while still in the drivers seat. I always learn so much from watching your videos about the ins and outs of RVing. Thanks for sharing and keeping it real for us.
I love this video Carolyn! I'm at home selling the house at the moment ready to hit the road full time after a 3 month trip. You reminded me what it was like and will be again soon. Sending you love and best wishes from New Zealand.😊
At that time of day, I would have taken that camp the first time I saw it. I would probably have done minimal set up so that if I woke up in the morning and had FOMO, it would be easy to break camp and go explore some more. I really have FOMO and in fact this weekend I’ve been stuck, and I use the term loosely in a beautiful place, because my slide was stuck out. I love that I’ve been able to adopt going with the flow and not stressing over things. I can’t control. Really enjoyed seeing your starlink set up. that makes me think there is hope for me. My biggest challenge now is figuring out how to store it. I have a Murphy bed, not a permanent bed, so I can’t just throw it on the bed. And yet, I will say, I am suffering from, first world problems! Great food, thanks!
I like the wind coming from my driver's side so that it doesn't interfere with my door in and out of the house and possibly slam it closed or slam it open
For star link in window..buy a pool noodle and cut it so it fits on the top of your window..keeps out sand from blowing in and no more smashed fingers😢
You are still an inspiration to me! I've been following you since 2017. I winter in Arizona, but am getting ready to move north by the first of June. I plan to travel up the eastern side of the Sierras, probably cross into California via Hwy 88.
Just 2 hours and 18 min NW of us. Thanks for introducing me to another place to explore. It's fun to hear your reasons for choosing what you do and where you go.
I’m thinking of getting an e-bike or bike. Have you thought of getting one that you could possibly use for checking out campsites besides the fun of just biking? Sadie would love running along with you too. Where do people easily store all their stuff for travelling if not the bed and sink? Learned that fast when I started RVing.
I really miss doing this kind of camping. Now with my power station 💕 I think I will try it again. At least enough now to enjoy it as much as this old lady can. 😊
Lady you got some guts camping where you do sometimes. I wish I had just half of the guts you do. I was never nervous until I got older. Hoping to purchase a camper in the near future and travel. Love your channel. Learning a lot. Give Sadie a hug for me. She really is a great dog.
I like how you walked us through your camp spot and ultimate choice. Too many chollas is a deal breaker with dogs! Thanks for another great video, Carolyn.
Caroline you really amaze me. You seem to have a sixth sense about your campsite. Mostly you don’t rush. If something doesn’t feel right, even the tiniest little thing you move on to the next spot which is the perfect spot. I love to camp and I love your videos. Most of all. I am impressed by your energy. Keep on keeping on and stay safe.
Hi Kathleen, yes, I hadn't quite thought of my process of finding the perfect spot the way you articulated it. You're right, I guess I do go more on gut than I even realized. thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching!
I’ve followed you for a long time and must say I enjoyed this video as much as any!! It was so informative of the little steps one needs to take when finding a place to set up camp. Little by little I’m getting more confident in setting up camp in an unknown area…thanks to you. Thanks Carolyn!!!
First time watching your TH-cam channel. Must be fate or something as the first thing I heard was you call your dog Sadie...my little chihuahua is also called Sadie. Enjoyed the video but I must say you are one brave woman, I would be terrified to camp out in the middle of nowhere by myself. Heck I'm 65 and still sleep with a night light on, lol. You have gained a new subscriber today.
Can't wait to be able to get back out there. Could you possibly share the link if you have a video about getting the star link, pricing, and how to hook it up? Safe travels.
I've done a lot of exploring out that way, I'd be afraid to have your rig out there. I always air down when I'm out there...almost got stuck out there.
Hi Carolyn - would putting two camp chairs out be a good safety measure, or just more work and hassle if a situation escalated to where you would have to do a quick pack up?😊
Hey Carolyn! Question, Being out in so many remote places, have you not ever seen any paranormal type things or UfO, aliens or the like? You have never mentioned that I know of. Ty Would love to be a nomads too but health. Prevents traveling. Fun to watch you enjoy yourself. Deb 😁
@Blakesley K. There are Conscious BEings all around us... but we shouldn't so much thing in terms of them being in this so called 'physical' dimension but of traveling between many different dimensions. In other words... they have no need for 'space ships . They travel by the speed of THOUGHT. When we physically die we do the same thing. Our brains die.. our non-local/non-physical minds continue on... only we are now free of our physical forms. Actually we are always free to travel beyond our physical forms.. we just have to learn how. Read Robert Monroes old books: FAR JOURNEYS and ULTIMATE JOURNEY. I wouldn't have payed it all much heed.. until I started having my own validated OBE's... a most humbling moment. Seek the proof you need.. and consider that NOTHING here is as it appears to be. God / THAT / Infinite Consciousness / Higher SELF ... saves the BEST for Last. In the meantime Be Kind. ❤️✨️
Please do a full video on leveling your class C. There's a ton of trailer leveling videos, but really none on leveling a class C without automatic levelers & without using Level Mate Pro. I bought the level mate Pro, but sent it back. After setting it up correctly, it didn't work for me. Education videos are great.
In this video, I show you searching for camp, how to get level and then my unpacking and set up routine. Enjoy! If you like my videos, please subscribe ---> TH-cam.com/@CarolynsRVLife

Travel days can be exhausting. Good showing of how it is. Glad I don't have quite as much to unpack and set up. Gorgeous place.
Awesome freaking video!! Lots of good tips. Just gorgeous place! Enjoy!

Thanks Carolyn for keeping it real! I picked up some good tips I hope to be able to use later when I hit the road.
Thanks for explaining. what is involved in moving a RV. I can send the video to some people that the RV life is all fun and easy. Be safe.
I am moving to Santa Fe NM tomorrow. Chance of rain for 3 days but my prayers say it will be light, Trust God! Always a pain to set up, but then relax!
As long the washout aren't real bad and no flashflooding predicted. You'll be fine driving through them.
Thank you so much for the detailed information on finding a spot, leveling, I think thus may be one of your best videos on all this procedure. Or maybe just said in another way that U completely understand. 😅😂😅😊 Have a blessed day my friend. 💖🌟
Go! And your spot didn't have chollas everywhere! Following your gut paid off! You are still the queen of spot finding!
Awesome video coverage showing you driving your RV across the state of Arizona and sharing your pictures and stories. I love watching your videos.
Oh my gosh, I have two little levelers that I've had for awhile now but haven't attached them any where because I couldn't figure out where.

In your expert experience, where are the best places to put the levelers inside my 24ft Clsss C
Check them all, but it is so beautiful. Yea foot of mountain sounds great. Let's see what you pick. Thanks for sharing. Be Happy Be Safe.😊
Sooo Worth It to keep exploring, take the time. Weather is a big factor to consider…
I love the way you hatch your level attached to the wall up there. Brilliant idea!
beautiful land. desert and mountains.
Your videos always relaxes me
Hello Sadie girl ❤️
I go through the same wind calculations you do! 💚
I love this video Carolyn! I'm at home selling the house at the moment ready to hit the road full time after a 3 month trip. You reminded me what it was like and will be again soon. Sending you love and best wishes from New Zealand.😊
Always fun and interesting, Carolyn. Thanks!
I enjoyed this video! Now I'm off to work. Have a great day.👍

I love watching travel videos. I love seeing the scenery.
I like the wind coming from my driver's side so that it doesn't interfere with my door in and out of the house and possibly slam it closed or slam it open
Hahaha, Iove the ball test!
I',d go look at the others but you can
always come back here! ❤
What a beautiful campsite WOW I love the solitude of the desert
This is great! Feeling inspired! I think I still have my Girl Scout nested aluminum cook set from 60 years ago. 😂
That was fun. I like your priorities
Sounds like your intuition worked well for you as the decision was to look further 😊
Well yes, but I ended up in the first spot I looked at! :)
@Carolyn's RV Life lol I noticed that as I kept watching. Just how things happened lol
Carolyn thank you loved the video.
Thank you for a great 👍 video
Isn’t the temps there about 100 degrees? 🤔 Brave of you to endure the heat! Have a good trip.
I really like seeing how you settle in to your site. Thanks for sharing those considerations about wind. Looks cosy and inspiring!🦌💌❤️🚙
It looks like a lot of work. I admire you for what you do. Thanks for sharing and as always stay safe, safe travels, and God bless love ya Nancy
Safe travels ladies! Hope you stop in many beautiful places on BC. Look forward to your next video.🚐
For star link in window..buy a pool noodle and cut it so it fits on the top of your window..keeps out sand from blowing in and no more smashed fingers😢
I did that too and I don’t crimp the wire.
Find video of Carolyn loved it take care stay safe and God bless you and Sadie
You are still an inspiration to me! I've been following you since 2017. I winter in Arizona, but am getting ready to move north by the first of June. I plan to travel up the eastern side of the Sierras, probably cross into California via Hwy 88.
love that preserve!
Saw A nomad with the motorhome like yours kind of interesting he had his star link on a portable flag pole
I also use my sink and bed for storage. It's a nice camp. Once you set up and take down a few times, it goes fast. Thanks for bringing me along!
Explore more!! 🙂
Another Great Video, Carolyn!
Just 2 hours and 18 min NW of us. Thanks for introducing me to another place to explore. It's fun to hear your reasons for choosing what you do and where you go.
I really enjoyed watching your setup process and even your leveling process. Thanks for sharing! Beautiful location, i liked the first one better too!
Enjoyed the video today,stay safe 😊❤
I’m thinking of getting an e-bike or bike. Have you thought of getting one that you could possibly use for checking out campsites besides the fun of just biking? Sadie would love running along with you too.

Yes!! You got your power station!! I can't wait to hear how it's working out for you!!
@@CarolynsRVLife I can’t wait until o get to use it!!
Lady you got some guts camping where you do sometimes. I wish I had just half of the guts you do. I was never nervous until I got older. Hoping to purchase a camper in the near future and travel. Love your channel. Learning a lot. Give Sadie a hug for me. She really is a great dog.
You go girl! Awesome. Always an inspiration.
Loved this one...I can identify and always learn something new that I can apply to my travels. Thank you so much for all you do! ❤
I like how you walked us through your camp spot and ultimate choice. Too many chollas is a deal breaker with dogs! Thanks for another great video, Carolyn.
My Bird Dog would always pick up nasty Cholla in his haunches when out in the MNP, ghastly....
Love all the colors blue in you rig looks sooo nice. 😊
Caroline you really amaze me. You seem to have a sixth sense about your campsite. Mostly you don’t rush.

Hi Kathleen, yes, I hadn't quite thought of my process of finding the perfect spot the way you articulated it. You're right, I guess I do go more on gut than I even realized.
thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching!
New t-shirt? “Rough Roads May Exist.”
Excellent video too
I do admire your enthusiasm.
I was like that before.
Joan
I have a small motorcycle so I like to park and explore on her. I’m usually too lazy to move.
Beautiful area.
Go for it Carolyn
I really like the spot you picked.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

Keep going
Maybe you can find shelter from the wind

Hi Candi, thank you so much and welcome to our community. :-)
Welcome!
Welcome. This is an awesome channel ❤
Go on.
Can't wait to be able to get back out there. Could you possibly share the link if you have a video about getting the star link, pricing, and how to hook it up? Safe travels.
I've done a lot of exploring out that way, I'd be afraid to have your rig out there. I always air down when I'm out there...almost got stuck out there.
I love Waggle because it doesn’t need Wi-Fi. Most other cameras and alarms that I researched had to have Wifi this uses the app on your smartphone!
Always view your options
Thank you for sharing.
Hi Carolyn - would putting two camp chairs out be a good safety measure, or just more work and hassle if a situation escalated to where you would have to do a quick pack up?😊
Explore more!!
Well if your up our way stop by ely Nevada ❤
Always go with your gut instincts!
Love your videos Carolyn! Great choice of camp spot. I felt your pain on that unlevel spot, good choice to move on!👍👍👍👍🐾😊💖
Go with your gut💞
Go on
Explore more!

This is the time of year when washes fill up
That's why I never camp in them
# I
Would go
More as that last spot made me
Feel iffy it was roomy but I felt uncertain about it. Hugs to you and Sadie girl.
Always enjoy your adventures....!
I wonder if one of those pool noodles would work on your window for the cable?
This is a good one. Always love seeing the nuts and bolts, not just the fantasy life.
