    Hey manYou were saying you had seen no cactus yet in AZ while you were filming cactus. Cholla cactus. Also called jumping cactus. All over AZ NM. If you ever bump into one or just barely brush it you'll know why it's called jumping cactus. And you'll regret it. Steer clear of those things. As always, don't ask me how I know 😳

    That was a great intro I really like the time lapse. Thanks for sharing the Route 66 I don't think we will ever make that drive on our travels. We were just in Williams and that town is really cool. Good BBQ 🍗 and the brewery there is really one of the best I've visited. 👍🏼

    Really enjoy your video work. I must say though, if your generator is burning one gallon of gas every 30 minutes, that seems way to much. I have an generator that I use at my home when the power goes out and it will run for 12hrs on 5 gallons of gas. My RV Diesel Generator runs for eight hours on less than four gallons of fuel. Might need to check your unit. Thanks again for the wonderful vids and give Jax an extra treat for me.

    Just an FYI Eric, having been an Onan service center for almost 20 years and owning 3 different rigs with a 4K Onan if you're using more than about 1/2 gal of gas per hour at half load there is something wrong with your Onan. Check the Onan website. Safe travels!

  • @jewellm61

    Eric, since you love water so much, you should take a picture of the water you encounter that make an impression on you and make a collage of it!

    @happyhighway106 7 лет назад +2

    Good Morning Eric, I see that you joined up with the Band at Grand Canyon. I found Route 66 interesting, lots of concrete slabs from buildings of the past. Hot! Hot! Yes it is getting hot here in Michigan, expecting 80 degree weather. So --- you can come to the Great Lake State. We have Water!!

    I drove that road about 3 weeks ago... I liked it cuz you had to slow down, what 10 mph sometimes and it gave me a chance to see the scenery... but you also had to really watch so you don't hit any of the rock outcroppings... then on the way to Garland Prairie where I parked right where you parked... saw it on Carolyn's video... crazy... Have fun...

    Put an Amp meter on ac to see if it is drawing more than its suppose to. Recommend removing roof cover to check to see if fins are dirty. Fuel consumption a little high.Check gen set exhaust pipe to see if its wet or oily. Should be light grey and dry. Awsome opening time lapse!

  • @0HARE
    @0HARE 7 лет назад

    Thanks for another good one. I really enjoyed it.
    That Colorado River water really looked inviting. Glad you took a swim!
    Those two little towns looked a bit touristy, but still managed to retain a great deal of their funky charm.
    I appreciate the information about your A/C, fuel usage, and generator maintenance. I'm looking forward to spending a great deal more time in our RV in the not too distant future. Every little bit of information helps.
    Keep On Rockin'

    Wow man, great to see you found my favorite part of Arizona. We spend the winter in Golden Shores/Topock Arizona, and really enjoy taking day trips up to Oatman, as well as Hoover Dam, and Bullhead City, with side trips up to Kingman for the swap meets on the weekends When it get hot like this though, we retreat north to the Dakota's where our sticks and bricks await us, and spend the summer months visiting relatives and friends before once again taking to the road come fall.
