You me and the RV
I love this video!
FYI there is parking available in Winslow AZ at I-40 exit 253 by McDonalds and a Safeway grocery store across the street. It is a dirt lot with some deep holes so be carful. A lot of truckers use it because the truck stop fills up quick.
Phil, one word .. Starlink. It's not "mobile" yet. But it IS movable. meaning when you're stationary, speeds around 270/20 off with ~40ms ... is a game changer.
I am waiting till starlink is out of beta and they will sell me Dishey McFlat face.
I will of course to try it mobile. But the rub is going to be you need an open sky some where around 160 ish degrees facing north. I think it will be much more useful in the Open planes in the West then the tree covered east.
Phil’s reward for driving 9+ hours? biscuits gravy and Stacy😉
Nice job raising money for fellow vets. Excellent.
We took our first cross country trip this Summer. The TSD card saved us hundreds. As for how long I have driven. A few times 8 to 10 hours. All day. Really try for 3 to 5 if we can. Walgreens was awesome for our meds.
I just Enjoy your travels, Stay Safe out there, Please
I love you guy’s! The way you handle this is a testament to what kind of people you both are…
Another great video....always informative and fun...you and Changing Lanes are the best! Safe travels
Thanks! You too!
Great video. We just did a Cracker Barrel and are not full timers. So it was 80 plus degrees. No ac so it was a bit warm but breakfast was a plus.
Hey You two I think it would be fun to catch up with you guys and Chad and Tara You guys are 2 of our favorite peoples we follow :-)
Love's was a bad choice on our trip to Lebanon, TN for our rally. TA was the best!!
Way to stay flexible.
That's how far I drive from Tulsa to Jamestown NY
The Chief is never wrong, 🤣🤣 (ret SCPO)
I wish I was going too
My husband and I saw you all yesterday. We were looking down from the bridge. We hope you enjoyed your visit. Can't wait for the videos from both you and Changing Lanes.
So cool!
Great Video:):)
Thanks for the visit
G'day from OZ.....the land down under. I love your guys channel. I have just retired and I'm living in my 24ft van that I purchased when I retired. I am living in it in a van park. People keep asking when are you going to hit the road....well I have a Hyundai all 4 door hatch....so that means my car could not pull the skin off a custard. If I ever meet Mr right that may change. But I just want to share that living in a van is the best. No lawns to mow. No repaint...etc etc...like I said you guys give great advice. Wonder if you could do a video for people who are making their van there home. Keep the video's coming
great video I watch your channel and there channel
Your TSD card is golden, I am waiting to get one, and also the Snap pads. My tip of the week is Home Depo. I worked at one last summer. Trucks delivering stuff to HD always spend the night in the parking lot. Not saying they advertise, but doubt they would run you off. 2200 stores.
Love our soldiers!
Glad to see you met with Chad and Tara, yooz guyz are the greatest....
Thanks!
If you ever want to run your a/c off of battery power. Highly recommend soft starts for a/c.
We have them on, our AC's are not wired through the inverter....yet. Thanks.
Re. Small Cracker Barrel lots. Last February we stopped at a Cracker Barrel in Covington, LA that ended up having a small lot. There was an Academy Sports next to it with a nice roomy parking lot. I asked the manager there if it would be OK for us to overnight in his lot and he gave us the green light. We had dinner at Cracker Barrel and stopped into the Academy after where I picked up a light jacket I needed. Sure appreciated their hospitality!
Most places are like that. We will do the same thing....it's always nice to show some love and purchase something from the business.
Hey Guys We Love seeing you guys back On the Road...... I "fill" u Phil, the man NEEDS Fuel.... hahahahaha Be Safe and Have Fun ! ! ! ! !
Thanks!
Even in my regular truck (I don't have a rig yet), I can only drive a maximum of 4 or 5 hours in a day, and 5 is really pushing it. By that time, I'm needing a nap, fighting highway hypnosis, and needing to pull over for the night. I've always been that way; need frequent breaks of 20+ minutes besides. As I get older, it's getting worse; I wouldn't like to drive more than 3 hours in one day now. I don't see how you guys, or those long-haul truckers do it!
(I hope they reimbursed you for your discount since the problem was a glitch on their end!)
Wow ! 10,000!!! I do t care what anybody says America is the best !!! So cool.
To clean bugs use WD40
YOU GUYS are GREAT COMBO !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a ton!!!
Just in case some don’t know… Since Walmart & SAM’s Club has cut out a lot of Over-Night stays I had a hard time in 2020 traveling with work especially with almost all the KOA’s closed. I found out by accident that Cabela’s & Bass Pro have “Welcome RV’s” signs up in all of their parking lots and some had direction of where to park so that you don’t interfere with deliveries or customers. It really saved me in one hand, but since I went inside several times it cost me since I Just Had to Buy something! LoL
Being a veteran too 1974 to 1978 I want to thank you for all you are doing for our veterans. Where did you get your lithium batteries and solar? This is what we need for our RV which is an Allegro RED 33 AA.
Our Lithium's are from Battle Born Batteries and solar panels from Continuous Resources. We have blogs on our website and videos on the YT channel.
Phil, I am bit surprised that you are unable to run A/C with your solar set up......how much more solar do you think it will take to operate the A/C? My admiration to you guys for what you do for our Veterans!!!!
Technically we have the power to run the A/C but they are not wired through the inverter. It is on the todo list but not a priority.
Great episode! Your channel and Changing Lanes have always been at the top of our watch list for quite some time.
Same with me. I have a great deal of respect for all 4 of you (And of course Daisy and Gizmo!!!) Being a Navy Veteran myself, and a former Avionics Tech like Chad, I love his checklists and his methodology for projects.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!
Thank you Dino!! It is so good to see you!
@@todayissomeday Roger that! Hopefully we will meet up someday!!!!
I have a friend that is a big time boondocker and he has a standing rule that he never lets his fuel drop below half tank, just in case.
Every 500mi fuel up whether I need it or not!👍
I agree
Looks like you have a Tree sticking out the middle of your roof. About way through the video behind the building.
U an changing lanes are tops chad an Tara great. I'm also a NAVY Veteran
Great life we r in trailer space full time in 5thwheel. Let people if flushing black tank do not keep valve closed an be fore drain it or ull have a water spout or gizer an clean time an smells.
Thank you for your service and your continued service to the veterans! God Bless and safe travels. 👍🏻🇺🇸
HI and be careful out there and travel safely. We are Dan & Jackie Roten. We are full timers and go by OVER THE HORIZON. We don’t have anything like TH-cam. We are both retired from our jobs. I’m also a veteran twice US ARMY
Hand Salute Don! Thank you!
That was too many days of hard travel. But we get it. Great video. Lynn and Danny
Enjoyed the video you guys are awesome. Wishing you safe travels and fair weather.
Thank you! You too!
Thanks for the video and everything you do for our Veterans! Hubby is a Vietnam Veteran and he is a retired DOD employee and I retired from the Dept. of Veterans Affairs. We got the Military Living 2021 RV, Camping travel guide after you showed it on one of your videos. We usually just check the military website but this gives us more details in one place. Our favorite Military RV campground so far is Blue Angels Recreation Area in Pensacola, FL. We didn't think we could stay on military bases because Hubby was just in the army 3 years but because he retired after 32 years with the Department of Defense that made him eligible. We found that out from a couple we ran into while in Alaska so we got to stay on base in Anchorage and in Seward Alaska. He has a retired DOD badge so we had ID. Hope we run across you two some day. Maybe at Gunterhill COE in Alabama.
Stacey they do make bags or boxes for carrying mail into the post office 🏤.
LOL
Glad your inverter issue was as simple as a switch. Have fun with Chad and Tara and keep the good stuff coming.
Wow 4 of my favorite RV's in one video. Who has the "badest" solar setup?. just saw their latest video
Changing Lanes is has more panels and wattage, to include batteries......so he wins with "biggest".....now if it were on who's works best......we win hands down! LOL. He has a bad inverter that keeps tripping his breakers. He will be swapping that out soon.
Thanks! Aloha
Love Flagstaff. My truck broke down (had to get a long block replacement) there a few months ago so was stuck in my RV trailer for over a month while it was repaired and it was the best place to break down. Gorgeous town and great weather. Didn't have to use the AC at all and I'm very hot blooded and hate the heat.
Great job, hope to see you on the road. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks, you too!
Great vid. See ya next week.
Could you run one AC unit if you installed an EasyStart in an AC? Thank you -- love your channel
We could run them now if they were connected to the inverter.
TSD discount is awesome!! Thankfully I have not been caught up into one of the WEX/TSD network outages. We just did to FL to VA and back and averaged 2.80 a gallon for diesel at TA/Petro stops. Being a part-time RVer I am used to running long days of 350-500 miles a day.
Thanks for sharing.
The two of you are the ones I watch the most on RV'ing. Love all you guys and gals. Lol. CL's and you guys.
Thanks a ton Dr. Don!! We appreciate it!
One nice thing about RVs is that when somebody comes to visit, it does not take much time to vacuum and clean.
When you first started showing the interior of the store, your cameral panned across either a carving or a casting of a Native Woman that was beautiful! The detail was incredible, yes I stopped the video and went back to where the statue was and paused the video so I could get a better look at it.
Agreed!! Their artistry is just amazing! I cant imagine how long that much details takes.
My 2 favorite RV couples. Going to be fun watching your adventures
Sitting in Flagstaff this week, but at a park, real nice, J&H
That’s so great what y’all do for our vets…..thank you so much!
Great video, and glad you got to spend some time with a Navy vet Chad and Tara. I hope to join you soon...
Noticed none of your options included truck stops. My rig is only 24 feet but the last time I was in Flagstaff, I spent one night at Little America snuggled in with the big rigs. No issues inside or out
The only issue is the noise. Other than that it usually not a problem!
A can of Coke Classic will melt off stubborn, dried, stuck on bugs…especially Love Bugs. Just pour it on your windshield or vehicle body, wipe down, and rinse. You can also remove acid from your battery. Just liberally pour it on the battery and let in boil it off. Rinse well.
I so believe in having plans A B and C when RVing.
ABQ balloon festival coming up,I can hardly wait 🤣.Army vet here .
You guys are alsome👍🏼
Run AC on an inverter? Install a Hutch Mountain Microair Easystart on your AC’s. I run my RV AC off a 2000 ah inverter, works great. Easy to install too.
We have soft starts.....just not wired through the inverter.
thanks for vets support :o)
Guys, thank you for communicating with Sam's Club before over-nighting there. There are so many people that refuse to do that courtesy to businesses, thinking that they are somehow entitled to park on someone else's property without permission. This will potentially ruin this great opportunity for RV's.
Where is the jeep tow vechicle
Behind the rig, being towed while traveling.
@@todayissomeday I. Didn't. See it in yesterday's upload
I use a TSD fuel card. It is usually more options if traveling on an interstate. That gives you more options for fuel savings. I don’t have much savings at Loves. If your not careful you will pay more with the discount there than what it cost you across the street. I do like the savings though, I have saved 60 cents a gallon before. It all helps. Be safe!
My little rv runs on gas.. so I see Sam's often... but never have overnighted
16:45 Gee, How did I know that’s who you were meeting up with⁉️ 🤔💭🧐❗️😉 #ChadAndTara #ChangingLanes
You guys are awesome - I really love what you're doing for Vets. Keep it up - your efforts matter. See you on the road.
WOULDN'T BE A ROAD TRIP WITHOUT A CRISIS OR 2. THAT'S PART OF THE FUN AND EXCITEMENT FOR ME, MY WIFE, NOT SO MUCH.
Why not Boondockers Welcome. Heck, my guest site is quiet, easy on and off Interstate 10 and has power. Much better than behind Sams. I’ll be looking forward to you and YM@RV viewers stopping by when in the Biloxi MS area.
We do look for them often. This is the time of year when even some BW hosts are out traveling.
@@todayissomeday we actually have guests even when we travel (just got back from a month in Michigan). We find we like having activity at the house. We provide clear directions on our BW site and have a handout with local information in a self serve folder. Guest favorite is our push pin map on wall. Guest like seeing where other guest are from. Never had a problem and feel strange now when we don’t have someone there even when we are home. BTW, 17 July 2021 is our one year anniversary of our first guest. We are “ULTA” hosts having had 60+ guest this first year. We are still friends with with several guest and my kids still play on-line games with several BW guest kids as they travel across this great nation. Last weekend we even had a “repeat” guest for the first time. We have had several guest that my previous guest have referred to our BW site. Thank you both for your service and great videos.
Hi Stacey and Phil. We've love your channel and have learned so much. We just bought a new Allegro Red that has solar panels. We're planning to be on the road for many months (I'm guessing a lot of Harvest Hosts). Would you recommend buying lithium batteries from from the start or stick with what comes in the rig for a while?
As long as your current batteries can receive and hold a charge, then you should be good. We did lithium first as we had a generator to charge them.
Love watching all your videos, you guys are great. Thank you for sharing......
Great video! It's fun watching you two in action. Never a dull moment! Our son retired last November after 14 years in the US NAVY so we are proud NAVY mom and dad. Go NAVY! On another note, I was hoping to find out about your Walmart stop south of Odessa as our daughter and family moved from Montana to that area about 3 weeks ago. I looked at last week's video but didn't notice any mention of it so am hoping you can shed some light on which Walmart it was that you stopped and stayed at.
Thanks Susan. We stayed at the Fort Stockton Walmart, off of I -10. Tons a space. Retired after 14 years? Was it a medical retirement? Go Navy!
@@todayissomeday Thanks for letting me know where that Walmart is located. No, it wasn't a medical retirement for our son. I should have said military separation, but I'm not always up on the terminology. He just got tired of all of the politics. His other reason was that he wanted to be able to be near his paternal grandparents, ages 91 and 93, who are both in a nursing home in a small town in SE Montana near where he was raised. He was really close to both of them growing up there.
Thanks for taking the time and effort to put out the video. Enjoyed it. You guys are the best.
Great video! Glad you got the card working before fueling up! You two are the best couple!
Y'all are awesome... Such a blessing to be able to give back, imagine if everyone that could would give just a little the world would be sooo different. Thank You for all you do and have done. GOD BLESS
We couldnt agree more!
Love my TSD Card, which I learned about in one of your earlier videos. Thank you again for that... safe travels. GO NAVY!
Cool! My 2 favorite ladies on TH-cam! Not to mention the 2 coolest Navy vets, too. ⚓️🤙 Looking forward to next week. Troy
Thanks Troy!!!
As the mother of an Army soldier, I’m so happy we did so well for those veterans.
She’s an MP and about a month ago she made Sargent! I’m so proud of her! She’s stationed in Germany and she’ll be here on leave for the whole month of August. I can’t wait!!!!!
We stayed in the hotel at Cameron. Beautiful area
Have you had any problems stopping in Sam’s Clubs or Cracker Barrel’s or other? I guess being former Law Enforcement, but I usually can’t sleep because I’m constantly worried about someone trying to break into my storage units or vehicle. Just curious if you or folks you know have actually had any of those problems.
No problems at all. I make sure everything is locked/secured.
☺️ U guyz r sooo dialed in👍🏻
I just got done watching all your videos. Love you guys and you showed me so much about RVING through your videos that I have to say thank you. Now I have a question. I retire July 27, which is also my 50th birthday. We have been planning on getting a RV for the passed year and I have done a lot of research and know what Class A I want. We should be picking it up mid August. Do you think October 1 is realistic for us to start our travels or should we have more prep time before we hit the road? Yes this question is from an Army Veteran, sorry I wasn’t in the Navy, but I scored to high on the test. Just kidding! But if you could answer the question anyway and always thank you both for your service.
Thanks David. Congrats on retirement in 2 days!! If you take a few shakedown trips and learn the RV, then you should be good to go. If not that comfortable, then take smaller trips, hit parks that have full hook ups and go from SLOW. YOU control everything about it.......besides, retired folks ar supposed to go slower! Go NAVY!
I really enjoy watching your adventure and the tips you show about your travels. I just retired after 49 years and we plan to buy an RV soon. Trying to figure out what we want. Thanks for your videos.
Enjoyed the video. Some great information and tips.
City will not let you stay at Walmart but OK at Sam's?
We said the same thing......but we had to ba in the back of the store, not in front like most Walmarts.
Love both of your channels.
So much to learn. Good job mam and sir
thanks for all you do...Leaving for sc see ya
We are heading to USA next week with our new coach and truly hope to bump into you one day and thank you in person for your great work and ethics you have. God love both you. Best looking couple on RV TH-cam
That is awesome!! Congratulations! Hopefully we will see ya out there.
My tpms's made my valve stems leak air going down the road, they were the rubber ones, we stopped in Barstow had all of them replaced with steel valve stems, over year now, no problems, you may check this out if you keep having trouble...
What does the blue tee shirt say?
Not sure which one......one says, Shiner Beer Run (from when I had good knees), one says, Same Trailer Different Park, one says, Drink Local. Didn't even notice that I had on more than one blue shirt in the video.
I can't find out your names... but she has a blue shirt at 6:46 and we are just curious... Congrats on your successful fund raiser for your veterans. We most enjoy the ones that show places and travel, and looking forward to being a nomad soon. Just painted the "nomad monster" this week... would send you a picture but can't see a way to do that. Thanks.
Its always Something its continuous it never stops. If you can't maintain or t/s you better have deep pockets.
Phil, Coco's Bakery at 360 W Forest Meadows St, Flagstaff, AZ 86001 has some of the best pies and cakes (non-keto). I don't know about the ice cream.
Thanks for the heads up!
