    Spending next winter in south Texas and close to Houston for a month of that so you just shared a top stop for us! Love the videos and great to see you out on the road again.

    Incredible job on this video-one of the best I've seen! The transitions from Google Satellite views of the building location to the coverage inside were amazing. I know how much time and effort it takes to create a video like this. Plus, you managed to share valuable information without pushing any products, just subtly mentioning your insiders group. Kudos to you guys for a job well done!

    Pretty cool, we enjoyed visiting Kennedy when we were in Florida earlier this year. I loved their reenactment vignettes with the actual recordings. In the one we saw they even lit lights above the seats where the people talking were sitting at the time.

    Welcome to Texas. You have a knack for producing great videos with appropriate music. Great job! Hum, you showed a picture of their toilet, oddly enough, I want to know how they dispose of their waste. We haven't been in over a decade, this video makes me want to go back tomorrow. BTW, I like Jeff hat racks in his truck. I do remember in the command center, they asked if anyone had a cell phone, and of course everyone but children raised their hand. He said, you have more computer power in your phone, then they did to send men to the moon. I wasn't sure if I should be impressed or scared.

    So cool! My husband is also a nerd and loves space stuff. While planning a trip from RI to Norfolk, VA last year I stumbled across NASA's Wallops Flight Facility, just outside of Chincoteague, VA. They have a free visitor's center which made for a great start to a travel day!! They still launch rockets from Wallops Island a few times a year, so I'm hoping we can go watch one. One day I'll plan a trip just so we can visit all the space related places. 😁

    I learn something about the EFS fuel card yesterday. We had been parked in RV park (Miami) for 5 months and didin't use card any while parked in Florida. Well when I tried to use it I was declined at pump. Called Open Roads and card was reactivated. The weekend warrior I spoke to representing Open Roads was working at home. As we were talking 3 dogs go off and start barking loudly. I said to rep shut your dogs up. She goes I can't make my dogs be quite and hangs up on me. I own a dog and if she starts barking while I'm on the phone she will be addressed by rules boundaries and limitations. She is a dog but she has rules, boundaries and limitations.

    PSA to people who have the TSD Open Roads fuel card. If you've not used it since October '23 your card has probably been suspended. You need to call the number on the back of the card to get it reinstated and you then have 24-hours to get fuel, or they will discontinue it again. I mention that because I know a lot of people stop RVing in October and don't start back up until May or June.

    So you claimed to have saved $3,000 in fuel but what’s that compared against? The retail at the truck stops or local filling stations prices? Major difference. Truck stops have the highest retail prices around. Just curious. 🧐 😮

    • @ChangingLanes
      @ChangingLanes  7 месяцев назад

      That was vs the truck stop regular price. Sometimes the consumer side is a few cents less than the retail truck lane, but the discount still more than makes up for it.

    We are in the market for a new rig. We hate the P.O.S. 2019 Thor Miramar gasser we have now. Build quality is shameful. Our retirement rig was always going to be a 45’ Tiffin DP. But then Thor bought Tiffin. 😢 We want a Tiffin 45FP. And now, in 2025, they finally have flush floor slideouts. Yay! We will have it inspected by an NRVIA inspector even though we are buying brand new. Any dealer that won’t allow for a 3rd party inspection will not get our business. We’ve considered Newmar and Entegra but no one has the floor plan of the Tiffin Allegro Bus 45FP.

I just came back to see if Changing Lanes had made some statement in favor of those being affected by the frame flex yet they’re quiet like many other GD cult members. One wonders if we could take any of these individuals experiences as guide to make certain informed choices and while ultimately choices are our own, people come to RUclips for some guidance.
