Thanks for the comment. Headed to the mountains this weekend.

@meandherafterkids good deal...we are home this weekend...headed out last Friday and had a blowout on the interstate..came back home and just received our 6 new tires this morning..lol

Hate to hear that. Seems a lot easier to just be home bodies and have no hobbies than to spend money on repairs trying to do the things you like.

@meandherafterkids I hear ya bit what fun is that right?..we will be fixed up and ready to roll this week

Good deal. See ya down the road.

I could have stayed a bit longer if I needed to.

Thank you Carlos. It was amazing.

Thank you. It was an amazing place.

Lol, kinda reminded me of that boss we both had on the tollway. Thanks for the comment.

Yay! Thank you!

Thanks for the comment. They do have models like the 550 I believe is made for those. The camper I have is too heavy for your truck. It's almost too heavy for the truck I have now and needs a 3/4 ton. I have some other videos on the camper and fitting it on the new Nissan you may want to check out before buying. Thanks again.

Not 100% sure. I know it fits between the fender wells on a full-size truck with a couple of inches to spare on both sides. I believe the measurements are on Palomino's website. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment. I can say I have slept in worse, that's for sure. No, I don't think I could live out of this unless it was absolutely a have too situation, then I could be fine with it. Thanks again

No, thank you for watching and commenting.

Thanks for the comment. I have some updated videos on it that you may find interesting.

Thanks for the comment. I think everything would be great except for the winters. At 11,000 feet I bet cabin fever would set in when the snow is 6 to 8 foot deep for months on end.

Glad you enjoyed it

I promise I am no better. I don't have a clue what I am doing, but I am having fun doing it.

Thanks for the comment. I have several videos on here about the camper. I think the one titled "Why did I buy this camper" is all about the Palomino and why it meets my needs compared to all the other ones I have owned. The top lift actuators are my biggest worry. I just bought two extra motors to keep on hand and I will start doing more maintenance on these as the camper gets older. This winter when we tarp it, I will take them off give them a run though. The top is too heavy to lift by hand so they need a little extra love to insure they work properly. Thanks again, JF

Thanks for the comment. Next year we will be at the same place at the same time. Come on out and be a judge.

Lets hope the weather man is as bad at his job there as he is here. Good luck and stay dry.

Thanks for the comment. Hi back Yes, this place had all the right parts for sure. I think we are going to book the other campgrounds up the road for next year. There is so much more to do here than I said.

Thanks for the comment. Check out ruclips.net/video/aHJ9K7ugXEM/видео.html for the 1 year update on this camper.

That sounds like a great project. Hope it works out for ya. I looked at those rooftop top tents at the Overland Expo. That's a no for me as well. Got too old with bad knees for that. Thanks for the comment. JF

Thanks for the comment. I hate I had to edit the video down so much, but without audio, it was just me out there fishing. I had some good stories too.

@meandherafterkids lol...I seen that in the beginning but didn't make the connection until you were in the jeep and closing out and I told Tracie ...thats it?..8 minutes...lol...now I know

When you give a hillbilly like me technology, things don't always turn out good.

@@meandherafterkids haha

Thanks for the comment. That's how quick the temps warmed up, plus I was trying to get some sun on these little white arms before our vacation. I have a coat in the camper now, won't make that mistake again.

Could you do a tour, walk around of your truck and camper set up a d your pros and cons of the palomino. We are looking to purchase the same set up. Thank you

Thanks for the comment. I ended up getting the airbags from E-trailer (shown in another video), and they work great. Nobody made the tiedowns for the 2024 XD. We searched high and low. I don't know what was different, but they said even the 2023 would not fit. So we had to improvise. Thanks again, JF

Thanks for the comment. After reading all the horror stories, I cross my fingers every time I hit the button. Even though it stays tarped for the winter, it stays out all summer and gets rained on, so the fear is real. Thanks again, JF

@@meandherafterkids there’s a guy that has a channel called outdoors in Oregon. He goes over those actuators. He also found a site that sells just the motor for $30. It’s a very easy install. I would paste the link up myself, but I’m not sure how to do that but if you check out his channel, he has the links to the site up there and he’s very knowledgeable man I’m ordering one for the right and one for the left side just to keep as back up.

Thanks for the information. I have looked at the motors and it does look like a easy replacement job. I carry way too many tools with me every where I go for all those unseen issues anyway. I want to get a couple of motors for the "just in case" issue as well. Just like I keep a extra toilet valve. Before long I will need to pull around a small enclosed trailer for all my extra "OMG" moments. Thanks again

Thanks for the tip. Do you just put them in the fire, or how else do you burn them?

Thanks for the comment. Tell Tracie Candy says hello back. I'm telling you, meal prep is the way to go when your camping. Who wants to spend all that time cutting all that up when it can be done at home. Even easer is the Sam's taco kit you can get. It's cheaper than buying all of and doing it yourself. Thanks again, Jerry

@meandherafterkids we do meal prep alot ourselves. The early spring and fall are great when its still cool to take something and put in the crockpot.

Crock pots are the best. Our issue is that the campgrounds we camp at do not have any power, so we have to cook over fire or run the generator all day.

Thanks for the comment. How was it? I have it marked to go. This was our first time in this area and have many more campgrounds pinned to go to around there.

@@meandherafterkids It was great the other campgrounds close to the lake were booked , but Lowry was in a great location. Stunning views on walks . The mountains changed in depth and configuration throughout the day with the angle of the sun . The camp hosts are great .

Thanks, That sounds good. I will keep it on the list.

@@meandherafterkids I forgot to mention there is a great paved bike trail right next to the campgrounds

I appreciate it, thanks.

Oh yeah, and what elevation? 🤠

Thanks for the comment and for finding us. We are Texas transplants living in beautiful Colorado. We travel somewhere new almost every weekend and range from camping, hiking, fishing, bike riding, and everything in between. Most of the time, we stay within 2 hours of the Denver area, but on a few occasions we travel to other states. If you have any suggestions, please let us know. Thanks again, JF

I think in this video, I said we were almost at 9000.

I hope you video it. I can't wait to see it. We are headed to a little campground that sits at almost 11,000 feet. It's hard to get to and it shows rain all weekend so we may be stuck in the camper. Still better than the apartment. Good luck and safe travels, JF

@meandherafterkids we are definitely filming this campground. 11,000 ft can't wait to see that video. You guys be safe and enjoy.

Thanks for the comment. I was a little long-winded on this one. Everyone keeps saying I need to talk more, but I think I might have overdone it this time. Thanks again

No way..that was a great video we enjoyed it

Thanks for the comment. I would have loved it a few years ago, but I needed 1st for this one to qualify for the championship.

Thanks for the comment. I'm telling you, just hitting the button is a game changer.

Thanks for the comment. We are planning to go back this season, but it may be mid October. I'm afraid the birds will be gone by then.

That's right. Reminds me of my home town for sure.

Thanks for the comment. What did you think about the new camera? I have a lot of learning to go yet, but hopefully, I get it.

@meandherafterkids picture was great. What kind is it? We thought it was a drone at first and then I could see the shadow of the stick and wondered if it was a new camera

It's a Insta 360 camera. It has more technology than the space shuttle. It will take me some time to figure it all out. The drone shots are what I am looking for and this will get me close to that without breaking any rules.

@@meandherafterkids I've been seeing some people use those. Great pictures and videos from what I have seen

One issue is they say to record in 8K. It uses a lot of memory and battery that way. Another is you have to edit it (reframe, cut and trip) before exporting it to your editing software in your video so it's adding another step.

Thanks for the comment. I had a hard time with this one and trying to make it interesting. Some places we go are just not in my opinion, worthy of a video or the trouble to do one. But, not everything in life is 100% interesting 100% of the time so we will do the best with what we got. Thanks again, JF

LOL, more of a joke than anything being we were at the corners of these states. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment. I hope you were able to stay awake. I tried to make it interesting, but I had little to work with.

@meandherafterkids oh yeah we stayed awake. Told Tracie there's not even many hills to look at...lol. I got home about 6 from weedeating at my dad's and sit down and said what they doin on on a Thursday...lol ..nice surprise

No hills at all, just corn fields. It was a great change of pace to get out in the open. I can tell you this, if you ever feel like you are getting boxed in, head to Kansas. We are going to try to drop on Thursdays for a while to see if the viewer count goes up any. It's worth a shot.

@meandherafterkids I hear ya. She's from Oklahoma so she knows...too many tornados out that way for me and its 150 degrees but when her dad was still living we made the trip from 1990 till 1997 and the bass and crappie fishing was excellent

Thanks for the question. The motor will handle it, but the payload of 1500 to 1800 pounds on a half ton will not be enough. You can watch the video ruclips.net/video/p7ovg1kAkvA/видео.html where I put this camper on a Titan XD with a payload of 2360 pounds. The campers wet weight is 2500 pounds so I had to put airbags on the Titan and you can watch that here ruclips.net/video/MaZ8LzXHuHg/видео.html. Palomino does make a smaller camper that fit a 1/2 ton like the SS-1200 & B-780H. You can look on their website www.palominorv.com to see all the specs on the different models. Good luck and I hope this helps. JF

Thanks for the comment. I can tell you this, I bet it would hard to catch a fish in that water. They would see you coming a mile away.

@@meandherafterkids yes sir I am sure of that

I’ve been to many beautiful places in Colorado. You are right this is looks amazing. I may have to put this on the list to go see .

It may be hard to get to, but well worth it. Thanks for the comment.

Yup, I stay that way. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment and compliments. Just let me know when it gets closer, the dates when yall will be up, and we will definitely make something work. I look forward to it. Thanks again. JF

Thanks for the comment. Some say we don't play well with others, lol. But really, I guess we are still trying to find our nitch. After 34 years together, you would think we would know by now, but it's fun searching. Thanks again, Jf

Exactly! This was why I was at a loss for words. LOL Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment. Check out this video ruclips.net/video/2o5tWhGzWWw/видео.html It was our first outing with the new airbags. Let me know what you think. JF

Thanks for the comment. You do the same.

Thanks for the comment. I have not seen any way to to that and it's too heavy to do by hand. As long as 3 still work I think it will still raise. I might aught to buy one or two and keep them stored just in case. Thanks again, JF

Wow, what a great comment. That makes sense about the doors and for protection. Thank you for being so informative, and I really appreciate the interest in our American history. JF

​​​​​@@meandherafterkidsJust as you, I love this land -- and they did too. They left us messages, and lived their lives here. It is fascinating. The ancestral pueblo in particular. They were doing a surprising amount of art and science, despite usually pretty radical circumstances. Not to mention, I know you've done enough hiking here to be confused as to how they did it... Barefoot, with no clothes, nothing to hold water in, etc. I am still looking forward to when you get a chance to stop by angel peak ! Came pretty close, but it is a good 2-3 hours I think to get down there from Farmington. I will say, there are some huge advantages. Free camping, and Bisti badlands is right next to it. I think you said you're from Denver, so it might be worth going East after. I will say that the drive through Jemez Springs going North to Los alamos is pretty amazing. Actually, now that I'm thinking about it that drive is ridiculously amazing. Tons of places to stop, bandolier national monument is right off the road. Grande valle is incredible, as is jemez Springs. And for most new Mexico things you don't need a permit ! I think the big exception that comes to mind is Carlsbad. That's why I live here ! Least restrictive on nature. Including bandolier, it is something like 10-15 dollar entry and no reservation required.

Thanks for all the recommendations. When I get the chance I will pin these to my maps. Angel Peak is on my radar for sure, but being this was an unplanned adventure we kind of just shot from the hip. I hope you were able to watch the Echo Park video. You may want to add that one to your list if you ever get up that way. Thanks again and I look forward in more recommendations. JF

Thanks for the comment. I feel the woods calling me again also. We are headed to a remote camping area in a couple of weekends. Maybe that will feed the need for a while. Be safe on your adventure. JF

Thanks for the comment. Yea, it's a little too heavy to backpack for sure. I have a trekpole tent I use for that. This place is amazing, and we will definitely return to enjoy the full weekend in the near future. Thanks again, JF
