    Why would anyone give this a thumbs down? It’s a guy driving across America in his caravan. He shows many places of interest, some great views, he doesn’t talk too much, he even made his own music for the trip. You thumbs down people should get a life...petty

    Been there done that. More times than most. Started when I was 17 and quit school. It must be the nomad in me? Joined the Army and said so long to a life I hated. After my Honorable discharge 5 years later I'd been around the world 4 times, crossed the Pacific by sea and by air multiple times, been in a war, lived in two foreign countries, and crossed the U.S. 6 times, and Canada once, amongst other things. Best experience any young man could hope for. Sure beat the hell out of high school.

    I just watched this last night, and I can sincerely say that I learn more about America through these videos than I ever did in school ! I had no idea that a part of Texas is desert. And I saw that Tombstone's main street is named "Allen", which is my maiden-name; so now I want to investigate how it got its name. Thank you my friend for your very fun and informative videos!

    Is this my third or fourth time watching this video in its entirety? Why yes it is. Four years ago I stumbled across this masterpiece and fell in love with Traveling Robert's travel videos. I'm in the mood for some nostalgia tonight, his first RV, who's name I can never remember how to spell, and old Kia that took him back and forth across the US a few times. I'm looking forward to revisiting the " old days"

    My Dad was German and lived out half his retired life in a camper like this guy's, describing his own travels in an accent just as thick. He spent the last few years of his life in Ft. Myers at an RV park while working as a baker at the Hyatt. Dad finished his 55 year stay on American soil the same way he started it: Baking and traveling. (actually his first vehicle in this country was a boat, and he took it to work on the Hudson River in NJ each day). He found work wherever he went and pretty much "died with his apron strings on", exactly as he vowed he would.
    Dad also for a time had a pop-up camper that he pulled around in a Jetta Wagon. Seriously, just being inside of this guy's station wagon and hearing his accent gives me goosebumps. The truth his he is way closer to my age than Dad's,.though..Dad would have just turned 81 and I just turned 50.
    Dad's been gone for 6 years now...but I still get to hear a nice accent when I travel with my wife. She's from Peru!

    I'm not entirely sure how I stumbled upon this, I'm not an RVer or even watched anything particularly related but... I enjoyed every minute of it. I'll likely never be in a position to travel the US like this but this video has given a great taste of what it would be like. Some truly beautiful places and your narrative is spot on. Thank you for producing this. I very much look forward to watching all your past and future videos. Much love from the UK. 👍
    PS. I've had that 'Driving to the West' song in my head all day at work. Catchy tune. 😄👍

      How can you not be in a position to do something like this? Everybody has hard things in life but unless you just can't drive, have medical issues, or some other unknown I don't see why not. State parks are 20-40$ a night and dispersed campsites are free, heck walmart or cracker barrel park. Use a high gas mileage car so you don't tow. You can do a month trip for less than a grand that way. I am going to do 24 days with a family of 6 for right around 1G minus gas "8 dispersed sites" 8 federal sites 10-20$, and cali just went up to 40$ on most of their sites :( so 320 for cali camping alone.. from 25 to 35 then an extra "fee%" then having to pay park fees... cali will be 700 of it and 5,500ish miles soon. Gas We 975$@3.89x13 tanks. Just say 1G with an oil change before and after :). You could cut that 2 G in half if you split it with somebody, then by 1/4 if you split it 4 ways...

    I have discovered your channel and sub'd a few days ago. I love travelling from my armchair mostly and I feel like I'm actually travelling when I watch your amazing videos. I have a fifth wheel on some land in Florida, so I always get itchy to get there 2-3 times a year for 1-2 months at a time. I'm from Florida, grew up in the panhandle, but I have learned so much about the state just watching your videos. Things I never knew. The Destin video, took me home again, grew up north of there and visited the Destin/Ft. Walton/Panama City areas so many times..now I'm homesick, again, lol.Oh and of course your voice is so soothing with a touch of humor. One cannot help but smile when listening to you. Very pleasant. I also discovered your intro song is all yours and you are singing it. I'm a roadtrip singer, but you are a real singer...singing voice is top-knotch.Ok, now you are travelling across my old home areas in this video also. Thanks for sharing your talents, awesome videography!

Thank you for introducing me to soo many places I never knew. I am going to re-watch all 3 1/2 hours again, but this time, I have my notebook beside me, and I am going to jot down the places. And btw, thank you for posting all your equipment, and the links to them.

    I just discovered this channel, better late than never! I made the 1-10 journey five times round trip from Key West to Santa Monica (later Beverly Hills when my friend moved) to visit my childhood buddy. I hate to fly. He would fly to see me in KW where I lived for 20 years and I would drive out west to visit him. Twice I made the drive with my blind, diabetic dog. She was the best travel buddy. Sadly she passed away after 17 years and sadly so did my dear friend who was also diabetic. He was only 48. Anyway, Texas is a looong state. So is FL when you drive up and down the east coast which I have done many times as well. The longest stretches are San Antonio to El Paso and Jacksonville to Key West. Texas smells like BBQ and the gas is cheap. I've heard gunshots in both states while stopping for rest or fuel but never in any other state. Once I drove for what seemed like forever through TX and the only other living thing I saw on the ground was a coyote. I love to drive, it's great to not be in a hurry and enjoy the journey. You have an awesome RV, I'm so jealous! I stayed in hotels, wish I had an RV like yours. My favorite hotel is in Tucson, AZ. I broke down on my way from CA to FL on 1-10 just off the exit to the El Conquistador where I stayed with my dog for 3 days while my car was being fixed. Great cabins with fireplaces (dog friendly) and orange trees outside the door with big juicy oranges. Your video is bringing back memories of all my cross country adventures. Maybe we passed each other. Have fun and Happy Trails!
