Looks like you did your research well. First trip in the new trailer, you picked a campground close to home and got to try out the basics of camping. Kept it simple. That's the way to do it. Too many people head out right away on a two week trip hours from home without a clue as to what is really involved. Great video and advice for newbies.
Thanks guys! Yes we definitely didn't want to over commit to a big trip. But I have lots of weekend trips coming up to keep it manageable while we learn how to camp.
Love that! I have secretly always wanted one of these. It just looks like such a great way to explore! Thanks for making this information and review. It really helped with questions I was wondering about. Can’t wait to see where you take it!
Congrats!! First time taking it "out" just love the accent lol how exciting and adventurous! I can never convince Steve for a van life so I'll just enjoy the ride virtually with you! If you didn't fight that's a plus! Adult vegetables are looking so good lol
Congrats on your new camper! I'm sure it will lead to many more adventures! I'm looking forward to seeing a tour of the space one day soon. I know absolutely nothing about camper dump stations so I imagine your first time would seem daunting. Glad it all wound up being uneventful.
Thank you! We are super excited to get out in nature and explore more of the province - and maybe even take it across the border one day. Yes - there is so much to learn!! Maybe I'll do a tour soon :)
Something on my bucket list to do at some point for sure. Good idea doing it close to ho.e on the first trip. Glad you guys had a fun time. Thanks for the useful tips.
Very beautiful!! 🤩 I have a step brother from our northern neighbors and the pics I’ve seen of his and now your videos I would love the chance to visit Canada someday!!
Congratulations on your RV! It is indeed a fun experience and it will really force you to be minimalist. Looks like a very fun camping as well with all the views. Cheers to more RV adventures and camping.
Wayne would have been that kind man for y'all! Love having a campfire! We were both waiting for you to back it in, Sara! 😆 But that's better than what April could do, lol. The second night's site is much better indeed. Sometime April will have to tell you our black tank debacle! 😳😎
Thanks guys! Yes we will take any directions we can get lol. I did back partially when we went to the second campground last weekend - but I don't love reversing 😂 Oh definitely need to hear this black tank story!!
Love the new logo 🤗💛 So excited for your RV adventures! Sucks that you had to move sites, but at least you got to stay 2 nights and as you said…practice 😅 and yay for more privacy at the 2nd site.
Congrats, guys!! What a fun purchase! Perfect timing to get out and explore during the summer. Looks like a beautiful trailer! It's nice that you have somewhere close by to you to really try this out before going on bigger adventures. Great way to get the kinks out. I'm sure you guys will be super fast at setting up and packing up in no time!
Yes we are so excited and it is perfect timing for the summer. And thank you!! We are still learning so much every trip, but we are getting more confident and faster each time.
Congratulations on buying your own vacation van! Your first trip looked lovely especially your second set up with the awning out. So nice that you had your sister and brother in law to help out. Dumping the waste is always a job for Craig when we have hired vans in the past 🚐 😁
Thanks so much!! We are super excited to take it many more places this summer. And I agree - the black tank/waste is definitely the husband's job to do 😂
While that first site wasn't too impressive the overall weekend seemed like a success 🙌 Not fighting through a challenging situation is an accomplishment for sure! We will be excited to see more of your camping adventures 😁
congrats... we bought our first rv (18ft) too and next friday will be our first time camping with it. bit nervous coz it will be my first time backing a trailer.
Great purchase, I'm sure it will let you explore a lot of beautiful places in Canada and the USA! One day I'd like to buy an RV, too, but a smaller one-right now a tent is sufficient. I camped in Darlington 3 times in the past 3 years. Considering that this park is relatively close to Toronto and other cities, it's quite nice, yet it would not be my first or even second choice. Each time we had campsites near the lake (157, 158, 159), which were very open and offered no privacy, just the view of the lake. The constant noise from Highway 401 was quite pronounced, but since it was so incessant, after a while I just stopped noticing it. Unfortunately nearby trains used whistles at various time of the day and night and even though I slept like a log most of the time, they did wake me up several times in the middle of the night.
It was a great purchase, we are so pleased with it. Hopefully you can get your small camper one day. I think being in the trailer drowned out the train noises at night but we definitely heard them during the day and the 401. Not a very private or peaceful park! But still a good option for a quick weekend camping trip if you are in the area. Happy camping!
Congrats on the RV! Love that its a smaller RV! At DarlingtonI did tent camping at the hilltop campground and the sound of the highway and train was beyond what I expected. Would not recommend tent camping.
Thanks very much! I'm not exactly sure, but it would be about 5 feet I think. They say it can sleep 3, but the 3rd person would need to be a child or not tall.
Congrats on the new RV! Omg I can only imagine the adjustments needed to drive and park a camper. But this was going to be a nice journey. Are planning to go out again any time soon? And that lunch spread looked really good!
we have the same camper we just bought it camping is NOT MY THING BUT I AGREED to go along...hubbys doing all the cooking and i would never park that thing. i ve also never pumped gas in my life......thats a mans job
Well as long as you got it worked out with the hubby!! For a small camper it certainly has some great comforts and beats sleeping in a tent on an air mattress 👍
Honest question, how do you deal with all the people around you while frontcountry camping? I strictly only backcountry camp, so “camping” to me is being alone in the middle of nowhere without amenities, and I know it would really frustrate me to be so close to people. Is it frustrating all to have to manoeuvre around so many people and have them CONSTANTLY around you? I find Ontario Parks is notorious for having sites extremely close together too.
Honestly, I've never camped before, so everything is new to me this season. I only know frontcountry camping, and now after being a few times and also boondocking - I also prefer being further away from people. So we try to look for larger sites and check out the privacy/photos on the Ontario Parks FB groups. We have luckily had some much better and more private sites, and haven't had noisy neighbours yet luckily! Though definitely not the same as what I imagine backcountry camping to be!

It's so fun! I love the options this gives us to get out and explore.
Absolutely gorgeous trailer, I wish you a lot of nice adventures with this rv.
Thanks very much!
Awesome video! Awesome Truck! Awesome Trailer!
Beautiful place to explore and great video. Always love doing camping it's quite an adventure, very informative as well!
Thanks so much!

It took me a long time to try to convince Alan to do this - I think the truck was the selling feature for him lol. It was a goo experience overall :)
so great to have that whole set up with the area rug, awning, etc. makes for a perfect picnic spot anywhere you go
Thanks! We are still working on our set up :)
Congratulations to your new camper so you can explore more I can't wait to see more adventures 😊
Thanks so much! We are very excited.

Yes it was a little nerve wracking going out the first time so we tried to stay close to home and amenities just in case
Wow this is absolutely beautiful and amazing vibes 🤩🤩🥰
Thanks 😊
@@TheAverageTourist my pleasure 🥰
Definitely it’s a unique experience, never tried that way but would love to, thanks for sharing with us
It is pretty fun so far!
Very beautiful!! 🤩 I have a step brother from our northern neighbors and the pics I’ve seen of his and now your videos I would love the chance to visit Canada someday!!

Thanks so much! We are really enjoying it so far :)
Congrats!! Camping in an RV is something I am yet to do but it is on my to do list. Great to see you guys doing the first camping in RV.
Thank you! We really like it so far

Wow congrats on your new RV. Have Fun and enjoy camping.
Thanks very much!
Well done ❤
One of the best travel videos
Thanks so much!
Love the new logo 🤗💛
So excited for your RV adventures!
Sucks that you had to move sites, but at least you got to stay 2 nights and as you said…practice 😅 and yay for more privacy at the 2nd site.
Thank you! My friend designed it for me. 😊 The second site was so much better.
Thanks! I decided to spend a night there as I travel through in July.
It's a pretty nice park. Our second site there was great 👌
What a great investment! I think you'll enjoy your RV! 😁👍
Yes we love it already!
Congrats, guys!! What a fun purchase! Perfect timing to get out and explore during the summer. Looks like a beautiful trailer!

Congrats, sounds like a successful first outing in the camper. I can't wait to see what other adventures lay ahead for you guys this season!
Thank you!! We are excited to get exploring!!
Nice looking trailer. I would be the worse parker. Looking forward to watching some more of your camping trips with the trailer.
Thanks so much! My husband is better at it than me 🤣
@@TheAverageTourist My wife would definitely be a better Parker than me. I have to be the world’s worse parker with even the tiniest of cars.
While that first site wasn't too impressive the overall weekend seemed like a success 🙌
Not fighting through a challenging situation is an accomplishment for sure!
We will be excited to see more of your camping adventures 😁
It was pretty good from a learning perspective 👌 hopefully the rest of our sites this summer are nicer 🤞
@@TheAverageTourist yea for more camping adventures!!
congrats... we bought our first rv (18ft) too and next friday will be our first time camping with it. bit nervous coz it will be my first time backing a trailer.
That's awesome!! Good luck 👍 we went to an empty parking lot when we got ours to practice parking for a while and it was very helpful.
Great purchase, I'm sure it will let you explore a lot of beautiful places in Canada and the USA! One day I'd like to buy an RV, too, but a smaller one-right now a tent is sufficient.

Congrats, very nice thanks for sharing just subscribe!!
Congrats on the RV! Love that its a smaller RV! At DarlingtonI did tent camping at the hilltop campground and the sound of the highway and train was beyond what I expected. Would not recommend tent camping.
Thank you, we love the small camper. Oh I bet it would be quite noisy up there in a tent... not a peaceful experience.
that"s cool
Great video! Looks like so much fun. Any idea how big the dinette is when made into a bed? Wondering how long it is. Thanks!
Thanks very much! I'm not exactly sure, but it would be about 5 feet I think. They say it can sleep 3, but the 3rd person would need to be a child or not tall.

Thank you!! We have about 14 more camping trips booked this year, and are really enjoying it 😊
Way the go girl, you parked the trailer. That is impressive. How long is your trailer? Great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much! It's 18.5 feet bumper to hitch.
we have the same camper we just bought it camping is NOT MY THING BUT I AGREED to go along...hubbys doing all the cooking and i would never park that thing. i ve also never pumped gas in my life......thats a mans job

Thanks! We will continue adventures this summer.
