Thankful for security and their dedication to what's right!
Thank you for sharing your story with thieves. I am glad you called security to notify but also learned to lock up your valuables.
I agree that one’s attitude is the key to everything! ❤️❤️😊❤️❤️
Your little pup is adorable, very cute cut. Teenagers still need enough punishment to learn to stop but not to destroy their lives. I had some very old skunky beer I found in my garage when cleaning a few years ago and I left that in a cooler overnight when camping. Next couple days a few young people would be seen running to the block house toilets a few times in the day. Did not intend for kids to take it, skunky beer is great for bugs, poor a small bowl about half full and keep filling and scraping out the bugs. Works great for many bugs, seems the older the beer the better. Stay safe and healthy.
So glad that you guys are safe. You have a beautiful 5th wheel. Happy Birthday Mrs. Bucky. Safe travels.
On our 2022 337RLS a/c the freeze sensor was bad from the start…. Love our Grand Design. All a learning experience! In one year we stayed in 17 states, and visited 21 total. Blessed beyond measure!
FUN !!!! Great attitudes !!!
Short story. Several years ago we took our camper to the Keys. We had our little Scottie Gracie with us. We were so worried about leaving her some in the camper. We bought a really heavy duty crate and my husband bolted it to the floor. Put heavy locks on the door. Not fool proof but a deterrent. We love our Scotties like you love Daisy Mae. That was always my worst fear!!
Need to pray to protect your living space against all disturbances and theft.
Awww Miss Daisy Mae you look adorable with your cut and bow.❤❤❤❤
🥰
Great attitude! Oh that sandwich - yum!!!😊
Thank you for sharing
I know what you mean with swapping campers…we upgraded from a 28’ TT to a 36’ 5th wheel and now have a lot more storage! I grew up camping at Myrtle…from Lakewood up at NMB down to Ocean Lakes back in the 80s! Now we just go to Carolina Pines a few times a year and we love it there too. Thanks again for sharing.
😊yummy 😋 😍 looks great
You guys are so lucky I always wanted a camper and yours looks so nice I hope you have a great birthday trip sounds like fun🎉
Love your new camper! Really nice
You need to get a big spotlight and carry it on the light will scare them away
Memories in the making ! But please be careful, you never know now a days ! You mentioned Murrells Inlet, so next time go to New York Apple Bagel shop in Surfside. Delicious 😋. I use to live in Surfside, am nore south now. So it will be cool to run into you 😊 , in Murrels Inlet !
Sadly, we stopped going to Ocean Lakes a few years ago. Aside from it becoming crazy busy and more pricey, security was lacking. We kept our trailer there for about 12 years and noticed security was being seen less and less. Initially they cruised the entire park on a regular basis, but at the point of leaving we hardly saw them. With all the money they make, they should put more effort to keeping guest safe and for them not have to worry about anything getting taken. You both had a good attitude. Thanks for sharing.
Daisey Mae looks so pretty with her new cut!
I am so glad I ran across your family I love your videos I love that they are long and you all just cook have a wonderful time and just kind of tell it the way it is I love that keep them coming I enjoy them
We’re glad you’re here with us and we’ll definitely keep them coming! Have a great week! 💛
Your new RV is beautiful! I love that you are chill, just be careful. Teenagers scare me a little bit because, most don't think about consequences.
❤🙏
So happy for yall...love your chanel....but one of my favorite videos were you in The Bunkhouse!!! Can't wait for new Adventures!!!!!
We are so excited for new adventures too!!
Gotta have a fan ALWAYS! Jessica, have you ever used a noise machine? Not sure if the fan is for the actual air movement or if it’s for the sound. I actually sleep with two fans sometimes three 😂 and a noise machine and I wear headphones hahahahaha. Im a crazy person and I’m proud of it. I got the sound machine off Amazon and it’s amazing to travel with. Doesn’t take up space and gives you that nice soothing feeling of home.
I am relating to your air conditioner not working on your new 5th wheel. Our new 5th wheel, hottest 4th of July ever & the new air conditioner stopped blowing cold. We had to pack up the food & dogs at 10pm & drive our cars home. Missed the fireworks & the rest of the weekend at our seasonal campsite.
If you don't have a power surge connector on your power cord, buy one now & buy a chain lock for the surge protector. This is another story for another day.
We have the same rv. So far chairs only held in with one screw! Sofa screws were there just not screwed into the floor! Several other issues luckily hubby can fix just about anything!
We bought a new Jayco RedHawk. Shower had no caulking 🤦♀️. Then we had it 3 months had a problem with the wall behind the bed. Found out the window was not sealed completely. Now we have to have the wall panel replaced
Hey Jessica!😊 so excited about this new channel! Your RV is so nice. I had NO Idea that there was so much storage space under those. We will be at Ocean Lakes in July. We go every year. My in-laws have a couple houses in there. I love riding around on the golf cart, looking at all the RVs and other houses in there. When we go, I'm gonna be on the lookout for ya. 😉 Maybe we can try out Benjamin's. We go to the Golden Egg place for breakfast. Yall are so fun to watch. So happy for yall!❤🥰 and about the kids, hope that don't happen again. I don't think security is as strict there as they use to be. Maybe this will make them a little more aware.
We went FT RV last May and we haven't looked back.I wish we would have done it years earlier,we love it.We live in Michigan so we stay 6 months in Michigan for the Spring and Summer then go to S TX for 6 months for the winter
Motion lights would be a nice addition to the RV. Very dangerous these days; they could have had a weapon. TFS!
So sorry things are breaking.
Welcome to the issues of the new RVs. The 21-23 RVs were built fast and furious. So many people are finding things wrong that shouldn't be wrong with a new rig.
We just bought a 30 ft rv, havent gone anywhere yet, but we are going to have work done in our home, we are gonna stay in it while thats happening..we also have a propane stove, but we bought a 2 burner electric unit, we live in socastee s.c. a few miles from myrtle beach, funny that your rv is at ocen lakes, a few miles from ur home in Murrells inlet..love watch you 2, now a new change, you in the rv....gwen
I want some pimento cheese 😋 I'm so jealous of Bunky. I haven't had good pimento cheese since I left N.C. 23 years ago. However, I did see your other video on how to make it. I'm super stoked to try it. My husband and I are full-time RVers going on 3 years now and we keep our bikes chained up. We leave no valuables outside. We see people leaving their things out when they leave for the day and I'm thinking to myself... you shouldn't be so trusting. It doesn't matter where you go, you should never let your guard down. You're going to have opportunists everywhere 🙄 Btw, love your new RV and Daisy's new haircut... adorable 🥰
We had a beach house one weekend (girls) and had a huge ice chest on the ground full of beer and ice,then after we went to beach that evening and coming back…..boom the whole ice chest was gone!🤨 Had to be kids. We have a class c and it’s crazy expensive to repair stuff too.
Sorry about ac ! Quite few new units from Grand Design having lots inop system failures, ac , Water heater has design flaw, etc Wish they did better prep for customers.. Your unit is Beautiful … Hope all goes well - Happy Travels ..
You need a motion detector light or two or three...!
No, they are not just teenagers! No excuses…they are “breaking and entering” your space.
EXACTLY!!!!!
Agree
Yes- I agree
That is unacceptable and dangerous.
So B52 as in Love Shack❤
As long as you own a camper or motorhome their is always a problem. Ours is ALWAYS our sattelite dish and TV!!!
Regarding your new Rv malfunctions. We ordered a new 5th wheel Cougar, it was delayed due to COVID shutdown at their plant. We had several things go wrong. On a trip out west our bedroom closet slide would not fully extend and we finally got the slide back in most of the way (didn’t get fixed until we got back home from our month road trip). Some interior lights didn’t work. We contributed the malfunctions to faulty work during COVID.
They live in Murrells Inlet South Carolina, been there and Love it!
Been several years since I have camped at Ocean Lakes and have heard a lot of stories lately about various issues such as yours. It's a shame because it used to be a really nice campground. Will be interested to see how your stay at Carolina Pines goes. Super expensive but folks with kids love it for all the kids activities. They really had problems for a while with their bad manager issues. You should check out Huntington Beach State Park just down the road!
Get an airhorn or turn your car alarm on. Scares the shit outta them and hopefully prevents them getting shot. Some people need lessons taught to them over and over.
Next time you get "visitors", you'll have to open the door with your phone on and say something along the lines of "Smile boys, you're on Candid Camera" - lol
Trust me, the ones who start out stealing beer don’t change and continue to steal even more stuff as they get away with it.
Keep the Hot Mess express going. Crap happens just like boating! You go do it floks! Is it Camping World? I'll text Marvus Lemonis for help... 💕🇨🇱
Years ago when my kids were little and we were camping a lot…we had a neighbor that also loved camping and he gave us great advice….The first thing you pack is your sense of humor. Be safe, have fun.
Great camper...one thing we have always done when getting a new camper is go over it with a fine tooth comb. My husband will tighten down every bolt, make sure all seals are good and just really go over every inch of the camper. No matter what kindof camper or what price point they are slapped together so quickly that quality of work sometimes takes a backseat. You guys have the best attitude when it comes to repairs and the growing pains that come with a new camper. Living the dream!!!!
I know the owner of Benjamin’s bagels his name is 🎉Lee we live in surfside we have a fifth wheel almost identical to yours you will love it
Omg no way!! That is so cool!! Well Lee has a great Bagel shop!
That’s crazy about the incident at your camp ground but those kids are way old enough to know better…it’s ridiculous
i would of went out there with a couple things a swinging
New to your channel. Could u please by any chance put in the notes exactly where you are staying in your videos. I’m like wait where are they at. Your unit is beautiful I live just about 3 miles where these are built I actually work at the cabinet door place that made your doors. Hope u enjoy it.
I Love and make pimento cheese almost monthly!
Cameras needed.
Daisy on the golf cart is everything!
Hahaha she was living her best life!! She loves the wind in her hair!
It doesnt matter that they are teenagers. Thats whats wrong with lidsctoday. They get away with it. Then they go to bigger things.
You've got some Pogue action going on!😂
Great video, but what happened to the cooler?
That does make you feel anxious. Glad everything is better.
Keep your car keys close, next time set off the car alarms before going outside. Gives you time to put pants on. The noise will scare them off and alert your neighbors also
Wow, that is so genius! I'm always going to remember this from now on!
Exactly what we do!
I don’t have patience for kids or teenagers these days. Two 13 yr olds kept setting fires in our neighborhood right behind our house to the point firefighters had to put fires out both times. We saw the assumed culprits by our house recently, so my fiancé started walking up to them. They both decided to run when they saw him (guilty much?!), so he chased them and made the boy (who couldn’t run fast 😂) walk with him to talk to his parents! Hoping that nipped it in the bud, but never know. 😑
Y'all are living a beautiful life, and sooo blessed. But, I am glad y'all called security. Just because those boys were young doesn't mean they aren't dangerous. There are a lot of violent situations happening lately with older teens. I'm not sure why the youth have gone nuts lately, but y'all have to be careful. We don't want you to be hurt.
The other thing is that those kids could easily get shot. People carry guns, and could easily be scared by strangers lurking around their camper.
Becareful its a crazy world
My husband and I lost a brand new cooler filled with alcohol first day out one year and never left any thing out we didn't want to lose again.
Love your new camper and your videos.. Your cooking channel. What is the name of it?
Love this camping channel! Thanks for sharing !
So happy you are here!!
My in-laws go to Outdoor Resorts in Melbourne Beach and love that RV park.
You guys need to get a Birdie device, it is small you can attach it to a purse but it has a small strobe light and and a LOUD noise. We carry them on us everywhere.
Fortunately you bought from a dealer that actually cares and agrees to fix things and get things done right. Our experience with Ron Hoover here in Texas has been, well, they should be taking lessons from yall’s dealership!
The boxers lol... reminds me of the time a crack hoe came walking up our yard WELL! off the road during a snow storm, I was chasing her with a ball bat so Hubcap gets outta bed (he sleeps is a T-shirt and no bottoms at all)runs out to the porch and hands on hips with junk dangling yelling "what's going on?" side note... anytime you buy an RV new it is common to have lot of bugs to work out.
Just found you and I’m enjoying seeing you camping at Myrtle beach. What site Are You on In Ocean Lakes? I so have to look into this . we are long time campers at MB and what you had happen with the teens stealing beer and coolers is an issue that’s been happening forever , unfortunately . Happy to see your camper ! All smiles here!
Sadly, this has been going on for decades. Back in the day we were tent camping and our entire ice chest full of food stolen on our first night.
So excited for you both… bumps n all… i am still envious.
You are so sweet! We are having so much fun!
Try pimento cheese on raisin bread. It is amazing.
That sounds YUMMY
Oh that does sound so good!!!
It's obvious you didn't buy from Camping World because you can't remain positive with their poor service. Beautiful camper. We just bought a 2022 Keystone Montana. Very similar Floorplan. Enjoy!!!! ❤❤
As a full-time RVer, I do appreciate your honesty about the different items breaking down and having to get fixed. It happens with all RVs more or less..it’s your grateful and upbeat attitude that really really matters and shows through in this video. Wouldn’t trade the lifestyle for anything!
Your trailer could be a lemon and you might want to ask for a brand new one.
When we bought our new ToyHauler trailer we had a list of about 25 things that needed to be fixed! We still have the trailer and love it. Enjoy your new channel.
Well that makes us feel a little better bc we have a list about that long right now!
Tip we do is take a bow dryer and check all outlets, have them run the air for a bit to make sure everything b4 we leave the lot.
I kept refreshing my RUclips to make sure I didn't miss the video.
You are so sweet! We were having technical difficulties today lol!
@@chasingsunsetsrv that's who I am outside of RUclips. Oh no. Hope y'all got it and the back air conditioner fixed in the RV.
Hey Alma and Tony ❤️ Have a wonderful evening ❣️
@@robylove9190 thank you, friend. You too.
Daisy looks like a Christmas gift 💝
Theft is rampant and has been in the Myrtle Beach campgrounds.
OMG! You both are so lucky. I’m so glad that you are ok
Are there RV security cameras etc. that you can do to help fortify your private space?
Hey Bunkey's, so happy for you. I loved campin, don't go any more so I will enjoy your new adventures with you.
You are so sweet!! I'm so happy you will be following along!
Love your thoughts on just being chill …very smart to go someplace close the first time out..❤️❤️
I'm sorry you had a bad experience and grateful you're safe. Glad your outlook is of gratitude and awareness to do what you can to keep yourselves safe. The Lord was watching over you. Prayers for your safety and travels.
🎚🙏
Theft has become rampant in campgrounds at the beach.
Hers so Pretty after her grooming date!
Years ago my mom had her purse stolen and the guy who stole it took all of her money and returned the purse !
Crazy things happen!
That is crazy and so scary!! I hate that happened to her!
Change your locks, they are all universal. The newer RV's because of what we just went through many parts are defective and this still install them. The reason you got quick service is the amount of subs, Ive seen it before on different you tubers, not everyone gets fast service from gd. Dont leave anything outside. Have fun and enjoy your rig. I have a class A but stationary for now.
Great video, love the new camper. Can I suggest getting some removable solar motion lights for outside?
That is SO smart! I'm going to have Bunkey look into those! Thank you!
So glad that you have a camping channel also, we love our fifth wheel also , We have a 2021 Keystone Fuzion Toy Hauler with full body paint. It’s orange black and gray. We plan to travel once I retire but for now we bought some property to keep it on. Safe and Happy Trails.
99% of the time it’s just kids looking for liquor. We have camped for many years and they don’t usually take much of our personal stuff. Camping is great fun and our fifth wheel is set up some what like yours and we absolutely love it ❤❤
Glad you are feeling at home ❤️❤️❤️
so fun , except for a few hiccups , i believe im really going like your new shows thanx for sharing and safe travels
Sadly camping has changed. You didn’t use to have to worry about stuff like that. Now, we keep things locked up. Also, the campers are not made the way they used to be. Hopefully things will smooth out for you guys. I have just found your videos and love you guys! Best wishes and safe travels!
Congrats on your new 5th wheel..
Put up a camera. We bought Blinks at Christmas cause we spend alot of time away from our Class A. It alerts your phone or the Echo.
You all need to be super careful. These days you just can’t trust people. You never know if they are carrying a weapon. It’s terrible to say but better safe than sorry.
Little Daisy Mae sure is lovin the golf cart ride. What a little sweetheart❣️ Love you guys💋
