Tell you what, I am ready now! I know exactly what not to do! lol

Very cool, my daughter has talked about it a few times, she said its haunted LOL, but who knows! Any chance you had any odd experiences?

@@OneStrangeJourney The only "odd" experience was having to use a common toilet, shared by everyone on the floor. Last time I had to do that was back in the dorms in my college days. As I wake up often to pee, I resented having to wait until others "completed their business." Other than that, I enjoyed the hotel very much. Has good character. Definitely was NOT haunted on that particular night. I really enjoyed my evening in town. I found the merchants on Main Street to be friendly...also the folks in the tavern. My friend and I couldn't have looked more "out of towner" than we did.

We love it. Usually dont use much till it's in the 30s or it will heat you out. But once we are in the 30s or lower it's great. Once it hits 80 we usually sit her off but there are times in middle of the night instead of shutting off I would just open windows to regulate temps. Fellow RVers though we were crazy opening windows in -20F.

Happy birthday Madisson

Hey I appreciate that! I hope so. Maybe I need to try harder with things she's interested but being a teen girl thats hard to find something I can fit into you know. But I'll never give up.

Love it! When I was a teen in south Florida we use to do crazy stuff like that too!

You know I used that same stuff on my Bounder motorhome a long time ago right before I sold her. It really made a difference huh? I never even considered that could help. I am due to repaint my roof in the next year. Will have to look into it. Thanks for the tip TG!

Hey TG, yea YT has an attitude against me I think. Even my wife says she doesn't get notified sometimes. I always thought she was just making excuses why she didn't watch the vid but maybe she wasn't lying lol...

New England huh, I have seen some contracts out that way. I am ready for a change like that maybe in the spring. Def going to look into it. And yea I have worked on my crap at all the parks too but I know the park owners are giving me the evil eye lol. Have to sneak in the car washes. Currently at a KOA so until season is over I have to behave. Once season is over the owner settles down and it's a lot easier going. And I get it, he needs to keep the place looking classy and its a nice park.

@@OneStrangeJourney I believe youd love new england area. Soo much diff then the west but still kind of the same. Lots n lots of trees n woods. Hiking n such. Dartmouth hospital in new hampshire is a really good hospital also maine med in portland maine is good also. We leave sodak on saturday for grand tetons for few days then over to idaho for next contract for the next 6 months.

Our bedroom usually runs 2-3 degrees warmer than the living room too. I’d be thrilled to keep it at 66! When it hits over 100 outside, our RV usually maintains around 20 degrees cooler inside, which is tolerable, but it's still not ideal. And funny you mentioned those states-Maine is especially high on my list as well!

@@OneStrangeJourney lol yeah idk why the bedroom stays so cool but it feels amazing. And its baked in the sun all day directly.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it! The EG4 line definitely looks solid, and I’m seriously considering their batteries and controllers/chargers for my setup. I love the idea of being able to plug and play right away while slowly building out the solar system over time-it’s definitely more doable that way. But yeah, the recpro's are still on my mind too. I’m just worried that even with two new 15k units, it still might not be enough. My neighbors with a similar-sized RV are running three units, so I’m thinking lol...

Definitely looking into the mini split, just need to weigh the pros and cons a bit more before pulling the trigger. A few of my neighbors also have 3 AC's in same size 5th wheel and like you have no issues. I just think thats the issue. Even with new units I may not be happy.

@@RonL-y3v yes they do! I need to get one this season!

Well the details are we live in a 40' 5th wheel as you seen, and depending on how much we kept it running anywhere from 1 bag every 3 days for temps in 40s, to 1 bag a day during the -20f to -30f. My wife gets cold easy so she would keep the rv between 75 and 80 or more sometimes and I would literally crack windows when it was to hot. My fellow Rvers were struggling to keep their rvs 65 and thought I was insane to have windows cracked below 0f. So depending what the bags of pellets cost in your area and what kind of temps your dealing with it may be cheaper then buying propane. For us it defiantly was and our propane heater would never have kept us this warm!

Sure does! the only difference between the 2500 and the 3500 that year was rear springs.

@@OneStrangeJourney sorry-no it doesn’t. Your payload is limited to the components used when building the vehicle, I.e. frame, springs, etc. overloading these components may result in a catastrophic failure and could endanger people. Please search “do airbags increase my payload”.

@@deankastner5058 I understand but literally in that year the only difference between the 3/4 ton and one ton was the rear springs. Nothing else was different. So by adding 7500lb airbags I can deflate and have a better ride when not towing and when inflated I have the same truck if not better than a 0ne ton. In fact a stock one ton from that year wouldn’t even be able to keep the ride height I can one you put 3,000 lbs plus of payload. The difference in payload is 3500lbs vs 4500 on the one ton. And I have the addition of 7500lb bags.

@@deankastner5058 and when I say the rear springs are different on the one ton vs the 3/4 ton, litterly the one ton just had one extra leaf spring. Thats it. Thats all you get for the extra $10k or what not.

@@OneStrangeJourney I understand all that and think it is a good setup for those that wish to do so. But to state that it increases payload is misleading. Max payload capacity will always be the number found on the door sticker.

LOL, yep measure your largets window and remove like I did. Easiest with a few people and surprisingly easy

I appreciate the kind words. Yea accidents happen.

Yes we did! But I'll tell you I am surprised how little to no smell you get. And once vented absolutely no smell. Before we vented just a slight earthy dirt smell.

Hey TG, I really appreciate that! Yea we are all good. Made a handful of vids and decided I decided not to post. Stepped away from Social Media and just spent time out in the desert and mountains. But im going to try and get back to a normal schedule. But thanks for asking!

@@OneStrangeJourney sounds like smart move I’m right there with you and just taking time to recharge as well, how’s the weather been this summer?

Thats a great question. I never messed with it much. Let me monkey around with it and Ill report back to you!

Thanks TG, I appreciate that.

Hi Olivia, It was just a 1" hose I believe we bought from the hardware store. But next time I will not get a clear hose. Bad idea lol

@@snappysausage what are you talking about? Did you watch to the end. We lost an animal. And look at my views. Do I look like I’m desperate for views. I get like 50 views a video. Making my little vids does not provide an income.

@@mellyg8761 yes I do, it was just a home made deal out of stove pipe material. But works very well. Let me get you a link.

Well I’ll give you an update on the washer, still works great a year later doing laundry daily! As for the steak content sorry. I’m not just a reviewer, more of a vlogger. Man I miss the days I could afford steaks… 😢

I don't know how I missed your comment, Sorry! Been one of them weeks for the last couple weeks. I am in terrible shape but for the first time in years I feel like I am making progress. Even just starting with some very short hikes. And it's funny you mentioned it would be great if the rv park was there. Its BLM land and I told Jen, we could pull our rig out to some of them beautiful places and set up for a couple weeks. But the drama to do it in my RV, and the electric and water issues. Be a pain. But one day we will make it possible in this rig or another. It would be so peaceful!

@@OneStrangeJourney Amen, I’m right there with you. I’m dropping my underbelly right now due to a toilet valve $10 at Amazon that stayed open and oh well water everywhere when I return from lunchtime, using 5 fans to dry it out what a procedure and process but I live RV life so I’m learning how to do water recovery

That’s very interesting. At the time we were freaked out and it had a spooky vibe for sure. The thought of what you had in those silos was scary. I have since learned I was just a pansy from California and had no clue. My info was out of date! Thank you for the comment and info and I appreciate the your service to the country! My wife is also Air Force and was stationed in Minot back around 2003-5.

It’s optional, but I didn’t use a filter. It worked great for two years without any issues until it was stolen. However, this winter, I plan to buy a filter-why not, right? They say if you use a buddy heater hose, you don’t need one. But as I’m getting older and more cautious, I’ll use a filter next time. Turing into a safety sally 😂.

@@OneStrangeJourney Me too, I ordered a replacement filter for my buddy and it was a wrong size thread.😬

Your very welcome, As for the weather this is our first year here. We got here I think Octoberish of last year so I couldn't honestly answer you. But so far this year temps are beautiful!

Yea I think I'm saving money. (At least thats what I tell the wife after I spent all that money on the grinder!) The real joy I get is making my own ground beef for burgers!

I bought a better meat grinder than yours because I got a cabelas carnivore 22 meat grinder

@@tinafriesen7115 very nice, that’s a great one!

Thank You!! It's so true. I wish she could go back to about 6 or 7. Those were the years for me. These teen years are hard! She's a good kid but still. Heck she's already asking about getting a car. I am not ready.

I love RV life but Ill tell you every week its something. Right now im still dealing with little water leaks. Every time I fix one thing I have a new issue. Last week the shower faucet was leaking inside the wall. That was a drama. The the shower drain started to leak on the furnace, that was a drama to fix with my bad back. And now today my anode rod in my brand new water heater is leaking. No big deal, Ill fix but they just keep coming lol....

And I appreciate that. I did get a new Mic. A new Hollyland Mic I believe!

No problem at all, I appreciate your Support!!! I haven't been on here in a week either and now im scrambling to get a vid for tomorrow. But I am going through a few half edited vids thinking wow these are booring...lol...I dont know.

LOL...Times are always changing. Sometimes wish it would just slow down.

Yea yea yea, I was new to Montana.

It’s not “Needed” but definitely a good precaution.

lol is it? Thats a little before my time.

lol I never let her get them, it was her birthday so I gave in. Is this our Tom? Jens dad?

Yes we extended. My daughter wasn’t ready to leave yet (has boyfriend) and Jen loved the facility so 2 against one. I was going to use some Jb weld. Next weeks vid will be the replacement and you’ll be able to see. But I said screw it and got a new one because I didn’t want any issues in the middle of -40 winter. That would be my luck. Was about $650 but instal wasn’t bad.

@@OneStrangeJourney lol yeah cant defeat them. I think were gunna end up in western colorado for next contract in august. Yeah I had taken my tank out 4/5 times in a span of like 2 weeks fix one leak then a fitting would leak. But so far the jb weld is on 2 yrs and has lasted through -38 degrees so far knock on wood.

Groceries are different for everyone and truthfully this year they are out of control. It’s so expensive. But I have come up with some ways to make my dollars go farther. Maybe in a future vid I’ll show my little ways to save

Hey, I looked at your Paintings on your channel, they are great! My grandparents were very good artists also but I did not get that gene lol.

Thank you so much! Glad you like them!
