Thank you! We have two 12 V 100 AH Smart LiPo4 batteries from Renogy!

Yes!

Hey!! Hope you are doing well...thanks for commenting!!!

Thanks for watching...sorry you found the music distracting!

Ha! It was even too cold for board shorts!

No, since the beach is so deep, we didn't get much moisture overnight. Unlike Ventura county beaches where you are just feet from the water and everything is moist every morning.

I love to travel. Whether it's around the state, around the country, or around the world, nothing excites me more than to visit other places. This looks like a fun place to visit while visiting Los Angeles.

Hope you had a great time!

@ went to loop 2. Every site is a good one imo

Yes! Wild Rice is very different! Hope you enjoyed the video!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Its one of our favorite roads... we try to drive it every summer and stop at Hittle Creek for at least an overnight!

Thanks! We are off to a So Cal beach next!

Merci! Un de nos favoris !

The entire area around MOAB is amazing..we try to drive through it every summer and still have so much more to explore!

It was delicious!!!!

Oh cool... we have never camped there... and you are right, there are only a few sites at Tuttle Creek that have any useful tree!

Sorry to hear about Harley... yes, Chompers is full of life, although she tends to be a bit camera shy :-)

Thanks for that! Yes, I am not an electrical engineer, but I did try to keep as many things equal between the tests as I could. We've been using the 12 volt solution for a couple of months now, and had it on our rig when we went cross country. It's been great, and having it permanently mounted it great in that we just have to pull the cable out and hook up the antenna when we hit a campsite.

Ha! Yes, it is expensive outside of the MN area..luckily James has family in MN that sends it to us!!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and the music!!

We aren't that adventurous! LOL... but yes, put Minnesota Wild Rice on your shopping list before you head to the store and plan dinner!

Thank You! It was an amazing dish!

Yes! I have the 12 volt solution permanently mounted and use it regardless if we are boondocking or connected to shore power. It's great to have a permanently mounted solution that I just need to pull the cable out and set up the antenna.

@@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures Nice! Could you post up pictures of how you have yours mounted and connected?

We don't use a mount for the antenna, we just use the kickstand that is built into it. The way I showed the 12 volt mounted in the bay is how we have it mounted in the rig. We just pull the cable out of the bay and use the kickstand on the antenna and position it using the app for guidance. Hope that helps!

@@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures Thank you

We have a whole playlist of free camping sites.. there are tons of places to Boondock, most are in the West of the US. Where are you starting your trip? Also, refer to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Maps online on where there is BLM land you can camp on for free!

@@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures Thanks for replying My Buddy wants to hit up Houston, Austin and Dallas, while I’m more inclined to head west and north. I’m interested in small town Texas to get as close to wild camping as I can without trespassing. I understand navigable rivers are state owned so camping on the side of them is legal, but I fancy hiking in beautiful terrain. Any small towns you could recommend as well, please? 😁✌️ This will all be in a sub 3,500KG vehicle.

We are not too familiar with that part of Texas. However, there is a Facebook group called 'BLM CAMPING' where you can post questions like that and people will answer with places to camp they know about.

@@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures Do you mean the wild camping scene for “that part of Texas”? The locals will know the best spots I should imagine, but that’s gonna be maybe a third of our entire trip. Thanks for the land management maps tip, that’s very cool 👍✌️

You guys will love them!

If it's rainy or has been raining, it could get muddy. My biggest concern would be the wind, as the rim of the badlands can get some really bad wind gusts, so make sure and check the weather beforehand. We didn't see any tenters there at all, but did see people camping out in the back of their pickups underneath the night sky!

It’s a great BLM camping spot. Just make sure to check the weather first for rain and wind. The road could get muddy in rain, and if it’s windy and you’re on the edge, it could be pretty powerful!

Love that!

Chompers enjoyed it!!

I would agree that it's nice to be able to day use hike and not feel like you are getting side eye from people who have set up camp! Many years ago it wasn't so bad, but I guess as the spot got more popular, people ruined everything ! LOL

You are welcome! Glad it was helpful!

Thank you! Yes, we have to come back and check out the changes at Camp Woodpecker!

Nope...Wall Drug is literally a world apart from WalGreens! Put it on your travel list...they have plenty of RV parking, even for 5th wheels!!!

LOL... we were suckers for the billboards along the highway and HAD to stop!!!

There are literally walls and walls of photos of people holding signs all over the world with the distance they are from Wall Drug... a very clever advertising gimmick! (and it worked with us...that and the free water!)

You have to see it for yourself!

@@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures I have. It’s a cool store. Your episode was low energy

We try to see as much as we can in our RV!!!!

Thanks! Chompers meets lots of people at Campgrounds. Yes, LV is a great LGBTQ-Friendly campground, right in a cornfield in Iowa!!

@@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures I'm from Washington state, on the northwest side of the country. You should visit if you haven't already. I'm sure there are LGBTQ+ friendly campgrounds here. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

@jasoncarpp7742 the Pacific Northwest is on our 2025 agenda!

@@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures Have you visited Oregon or California?

We are based in California and did a 6 week trip all around California you can see on our channel...we tried to hit very diverse places all over the state. We have been to Oregon and Washington but want to return for a deeper dive - any suggestions of places to go are appreciated!

Thanks !!

No fence between the two areas..but the campground is only clothing optional at the pool, which does have a fence around it.

Ha! We don't have all the answers... but there is a model train setup just in front of the office... 'The Hill' is an area of the campground with full hookups. Not sure what the Tan Barn,Forbidden Forest or Hook Point Is, but I am sure they are just areas of the campground they named, just like 'the hill' where we camped.

Thanks Allen! We should have included our off-campground adventures in the video..as we did go to the Circus Museum, Cole porters birthplace and grave, the county courthouse, and a really cute coffee shop in downtown Peru!

We have been on the road 2 months now and love it. We converted it to the 12 volt power supply so we don't need to turn the inverter on. It's been great...we were at one campground in the trees and had a hard time finding a clearing, but found a little spot and got coverage..though not as quick as a clear sky would have been. Good luck and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

You are welcome!!

Thanks so much! - Glad you find it useful!!

Thanks for the added info on the vibe and weekend events! We were bummer we were only able to stay a couple of nights during the week, but on our next cross-country trip we will be back! (BTW loved the wooden deck at our site - very cool!)

HA! We were only there for a couple of days midweek so didn’t experience any weekend events. But we did want to give it a shout out, and since it’s new, encourage people to support them!!!

@@JamesandPaulsRVAdventures - Not to snoop… but assuming they gave you a nights stay and you want to give value, a bit more about them, their facilities, whatever might encourage dolts like me to visit them… might help! 🥰👍🏼😎

No nights stay, we always pay our own way and do our own thing. We wanted to give a rundown on the facilities, talk about the frisbee golf, and tell people it’s new to encourage support. Take this a a sign that you should go there in a weekend and report back to everyone!!!!!

Thank you!!!

Hey Conner! Definitely agree..Boomerang is in a class by itself..and have the nicest shower house of any campground we've been at..can't wait to see what the clubhouse (to be called The Ballroom) turns out! Hope all is well and hope we cross paths again soon!
