You, Me & the RV
the look of Phil's face when you took away the pudding. 😂😂
L! O! L!
I was laughing!
Like a kid when his parent takes his candy
That was hilarious! If he could shoot lasers from his eyes.... 🤣
I really like banana pudding! LOL
It looked like you broke Phil's heart when you took his pudding away. It seems Buckies would be an experience and get deep in your pockets if your not careful. Great video and looking forward to yall on the road again. I'm glad the jeep wasn't hurt in the haste.
Yeah, things aren't cheap their. I think that banana pudding is like $6 !
Phil’s expressions while sampling the snacks are hilarious!
We love love love the fudges!!!
MUST have brisket!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad Phil's shoulder is doing well.
Thank you!
Buc-ee's are the best! I love their beaver chips and pork sandwiches! When we are RVing we stop at every Buc-ee's along the way!
Favorites: Brisket Sammie! The women's Buc-ees fishing shirt (long sleeve) and the Choc Chip Cookies. Husband loves the jerky
Love Buc ee's but I got beef with drivers there. Maybe half the pumps have cars just parked there, no driver. They've gone into the store to shop and enjoy themselves all the while blocking pumps for drivers who need fuel. Makes me crazy.
I'm a chopped brisket guy myself.
Their burritos are top notch.
I don't know why people do that knowing how busy they get!
The best thing about Buc-ees is the bathroom!
We stopped at the one in Texas City on the way to Jamaica Beach RV Resort a couple of Sunday's ago. Going to have to make a stop in Luling the next time we're that way. Unlike Phil, I don't eat nothing else but, the BRISKET samich!!!
Having the opportunity to stop several times going back and forth, I love the brisket! And the beaver nuggets and chocolate covered coffee beans!
I’m with you Stacy chopped is the way to go. First time we went my wife went through 165.00, they are building one right now on I-95 at exit 42 in Georgia it’s amazing that it will have 120 fuel pumps. I’m with Phil on the pudding his expression when you took his pudding was priceless. Best part of the one we’re getting is I can’t have brisket daily if I choose to. Bu-cees is a destination not a convenient store or gas station.
100% truth!
Looks like you're enjoying yourselves! Personally, never understood the fascination with Buc-Ees. Basically, one big tourist trap, although fuel is generally cheaper.
Since you’re going to Dallas if you are going 35 thru Waco there is a brand new Buc-ee’s north of West where 35 & 35E separate!
We love the diesel prices and also the chicken burrito and brisket. Our two favorite buc-ee's in Georgia and Florida: exit 144 off of i-75 at Warner robins and exit 323 off of i-95 world of golf in St Augustine Florida.
The worst one is in Georgia exit 310 off i-75 near Calhoun: You will struggle getting in and out because the pumps are all on one side and one exit. We never stop at that one one anymore.
Was just at Buc-ees two weeks ago in Melissa, TX on our way to Bonham State Park for the day. Our car meal was chopped brisket, the potato chips and banana pudding. Our purchase was a soft sided tie dyed cooler for the car. Safe travels and God Bless Texas!
We avoid the Buckies since some of them are not RV-friendly. We were parked out of the way in the back one time and we were asked to leave, they do not have parking for large rigs. We were there just to shop, not to spend the night. We have heard that several other RVer's have been asked to leave.
Did y’all see that the original Store (In Luling) across the road from the new location had a massive fire this past Monday and was almost completely destroyed?
We did. They were going to tear it down anyway. Timing might be suspicious.
At Bucees, Tim likes the brisket and Amy likes the big dark chocolate peanut butter candies. We both like the original beaver nuggets. I didn’t know what TN city you said had the biggest Bucees. Had to pause it and look at it, lol! The emphasis is on the “viere” part. We’ve been by that one but not in it. We’ve only been to the Calhoun, GA one and the one near Birmingham. Cleanest restrooms around! Love us some Bucees!
We jacked up the TN name.
Buc-ee's is a must stop. So many goodies, but my go-to are the brisket sammich & bag of chips for lunch and a bag of Beaver Nuggets for the road. My non-purge purchase was a set of two Buc-ee's car coasters. They make me smile every time I get in the car. 🙂🦫
Banana pudding, Phil! We stay out of Buc-ee’s when we get gas. You can spend a small fortune in there.
It is a destination after all! LOL
We were heading down to Florida this last April stopping at a great Harvest Host in Indiana. It wasn't necessary to unhook. Pulling out in the morning I forgot to put the toad in neutral. I felt a heavy drag and after 5 feet I stopped. Luckily we were on gravel, so the gravel took the abuse not the transmission or tires. I called the host and left a message about the skid marks and that on our way back home I would restone that area. When we came back through a couple of weeks later, I brought a couple bags of stone but the host said not to worry about it.
Bucees. The only store that should have it's own zip code.
Glad you're feeling better Phil.
I think I saw y'all on I 75 / 45.
Safe travels. Looking forward to seeing your next video.
We love the nuggets! Our friends in Hawaii can’t wait till we come home and bring them back to share!
Wow that place is insain! Had heard of it, but this visit with you two gave a different perspective You guys are a mess! When it comes to your love of food! Lol Thanks for sharing this. 🙂
Brake checks besides light check and wheels spinning... Do _you_ look into your toad when Phil is behind the wheel of the coach and LOOK for the brakes on the toad _actuating_ when he hits the brake pedal? 3 postings to the tiffin groups recently of failure of the brake actuation cables on Air Force One brakes. We had it happen to us too.... So we always look in the window and watch the brakes actuate. The brake lights can come on without the brake pedal actually moving.
We do...just not everytime. I guess we will start doing that every time now.
Hello good people! Even I've been there. I was lucky enough to experience Austin this year, so visiting this gas station was a must. Was I impressed? Well, I haven't recovered yet hehe. Good travels!
So cool!
The smell in Lulling is the oil wells in the area, and it just depends upon the wind direction. As for Buc-ee's, it is the convenience of being close by, cheap fuel, good brisket sandwiches and with the TDECU Buc-ee's card and additional 5% off everything, include fuel. Going there tomorrow to get 300 pounds of ice for the pool. Those with a pool in Texas know how hot it can get.
Thanks for the info!
I’ve never laughed as much watching your videos as I did this one and I’ve watched more than a few. Thank you and safe travels to you both.👍🏼😎
Glad you like them!
LOL... It's pronounced suh-veer-vul, Tennesee. Had you driven a few miles into the center of town, a statue of Dolly Parton is in front of the courthouse. This is Dolly's hometown.
The best part of the whole video was the thumbnail.... Love the stretchy shirts!
Luling, TX. Back in the day there were operating pump jacks in most front an/or back yards throughout the town, commercial and residential. Can't comment on now, but that very well may be what you smell. Was not seasonal, and do not think there were any refineries close enough to Luling to be problematic. Again, am 80 years old now, and have not visited Luling proper in 65 years, though we always stop at the Buckeyes there on our way to Houston area.
We love the candied jalapeños from Buceyes
We went to Buc-ees for the first time on a road trip in June. Oh, that jerky! We brought back several pounds of it. So many great flavors.
We were just at this Buc-ee’s on Sunday! We drove an hour and a half each way to go check it out (our home Buc-ee’s is Katy, TX - about 5 miles from home). Traffic there was a bit of a mess but once they tear down the old store it’ll be MUCH better!
I love how they call it a convenience store. Because that's not what they are. It's a general store with gas.
My hubby likes the chicken burrito. Nice Jeep. Safe travels.
Oh, and that's a hornworm - great fishing bait!
OMG!!! You guys have us cracking up!!! We live 3 miles from the Crossville Tennessee Buccees and only visit when family visits. BUT I want some of those warm chips. Fun episode. Thanks!
Nice video guys, we need a Buc'ees out West!!
We have had our trail hawk do the same. It can be tricky. Glad you noticed it early.
It really is!
Buc-ee’s Candied Jalapeños..Yummm!
Don't feel bad. We did a similiar FUBAR last week in Whitehorse, YT, by leaving our Honda CRV in park accidentally. I towed it about 100yds on a gravel road inside and RV park before some guy comes running out to let me know the wheels weren't turning. I made a lot of dust, and I didn't even feel the lack of power idling around the RV park at 2mph. Gravel doesn't produce any squeal sound, just dust. Embarrassing. We've changed our procedure to prevent it from happening again. This was the first time this has happened in 5yrs. I guess I'm not used to our RED 33AA w/360HP, just bought in Dec, has too much power!
Thats the scary part with these rigs....they will pull anything! Always glad to hear it was caught before something worse happened.
Up 35E north through Waco towards Dallas would have brought you to the newest Buccees at Hillsboro. 8 miles from us.
We were just there as well. HUGE!!! Love our Buc' ees!!!
I think that they need to build a Buc-ees here in New Hampshire. My wife and i have visited the one near Daytona and in Santee, SC on a couple of road trips. They are the best. We are saving our pennies to eventually purchase an RV.
My favorite, brisket sandwich 👍👍.
Close second, peppered jerky.
Great seeing y'all hit the road again.
I seem to recall someone saying "have a checklist & follow it. If you get stopped or distracted -- start again !!!". Can y'all tell me who mighta said that ?
Hey, everybody is going to do it or they've done it. If thats the worste thing that happens, you're lucky.
Agree, Buckees can seriously hurt your travel plans and your bank account. Both worth it.
God bless y'all and stay safe on your travels.
You are 100% correct. Sitting to long caused a lapse in procedures!
We have stayed at both of those campgrounds and loved the Alsatian RV Resort. Did you stop by Haby's Alsatian Bakery in Castroville? That place is awesome ! When you stopped at the River Bend campground in Luling I'm surprised Phil didn't take the short drive up to Lockhart (the BBQ Capital of Texas) for some real Texas Brisket. Oh Yeah, I always have to get the banana pudding and their chocolate pie pudding. :-)
Next time!!
Scones! That's my road trip go to at Bucees. Plus UN sweet tea.
A Happy 4th and safe travels to all! I look forward to seeing your videos.
Thanks so much!
We love everything about Buc-ee's.
On my bucket list! Thanks for the reviews ❤️
Thanks for sharing! Really like your channel. Great information and a lot of laughs. Awesome!
Staying at Sun Outdoors Granby, Colorado this week. Watched a Class A pull out of the RV park and as they were driving out the front of their tow vehicle got ripped off. The car slid down the edge of the road and the front of the vehicle was attached to the Class A and laying on the ground.
Wow! That is not a good start to a travel day. Hopefully, it was an easy fix and didn't cost to much in repairs.
If my wife is with me when we go in a Buc ee’s, we’re lucky if we get out under $100, there’s always some things she needs like oh that pretty blanket or look at those or look at that I could give that as a gift, blah blah blah. LOL I stop in at several in the Houston area regularly for the restrooms and grab a quick bite, my favorites the California chicken wrap with extra piece of chicken. Or the bbq sandwich, or the sausage on a stick or …..
LOL...too funny! There really is something for everyone!
Ahhh Buc-eee’s!!
You guys need to make time for a Texas BBQ Quest! We did one about 5 years ago and are planning BBQ Quest number 2 in October! Texas has some incredible BBQ spots. Some big and some small, but all amazing! We have a 1 to 10 scoring system for all things BBQ. We hit 12 spots last time and are planning a whole bunch more on this go around (have to admit we are going to hit a couple favorites again!) Absolutely can’t wait!!
Try Mac's BBQ in Brady TX. Yummy!!!
@@donwilliams6879 thanks for the idea! We’ll look into it!
Love us some Buccee's... excited to get one in south MS in next several months!
Hi there, we always enjoy your channel. We started full time RVing June 1. Can you tell me the name of the campground in Texas with the Casita home that you stay at when Phil needs surgeries.😊 I had 2 shoulder surgeries a few years ago so I truly understand. Keep enjoying!
Alsatian RV Resort in Castroville, TX
Thanks for the tour and the tips. I laughed when the TEXAS fans of Buc-ee's said they can't build a 80k sqft store in Florida and the company decided not to build any more stores outside of TEXAS bigger than 74ksqft 😂. I guess that means the one They just built in north Eastern (Front Range area) of Colorado isn't any larger than the 74ksqft. Keeping the saying true. EVERYTHING IS BIGGER IN TEXAS. hope that Buc-ee's builds a store on My side of the Rockies here on the WESTERN SLOPE OF COLORADO.
Health First Always!
Tailwinds
OMG the look on Phil's face when you took his pudding should be the thumb nail for every video...
I couldn't believe she would do that to me! LOL
The worst buc-ee's is in Georgia exit 310 off of i-75.... Pumps are all on one side and a single combined entrance/ exit. It's a struggle to get out😐
My family will be here in Colorado to visit the first week of August and its on the tourist list in Berthoud CO. Cant wait to go see it. Thanks for the video.
We just love Bucees and all their JUNK! Fan fav for us!
I love the TEXAS BLT…with extra bacon!
Cinnamon Bucky Nuggets , are ok… but the FUDGE is great! (Key lime & praline)
FYI.. Sevierville TN (pronounced SE-vier- ville)
Is my neck of the woods!!!
I know what happens! I set my front wheels on fire by having my aux brake too tight.
So that was 2 new tires, brakes,rotors, calipers,struts and control arms and two extra days. 😮
Yikes!
Thank you. So cool you showed how even the pro's make mistakes. And how important those check lists are. 👋😁
You are so welcome!
We also RV and ride recumbent tricycles with Sena helmets. Join our “look crazy club” and wear your helmets to talk to each other when you do your light checks and/or pull out of your spot. It’s such a great way to immediately be able to communicate with each other not to mention in Walmart or even the world’ s largest gas station to find each other 🤪‼️
Sounds like fun!
Come up to NAVSTA Great Lakes or even better Illinois Beach state park and then up to the Wisconsin Dells!
We have been to NAVSTA Great Lakes years ago. The Dells is on the list....very soon!
Pulled pork and clean restrooms.
Phil, did you leave the propane on at Buc-ees? It burned down!
They were going to tear that old place down. I was shocked to see it up in flames.
If there is one near where you are you have to visit. I think I have been to 3 different ones. I like the bbq turkey sandwich.
You should see this store during a hurricane in South Alabama!! It is crazy!!
Wow. So glad it was caught before damage or a fire happened. "His shirt is not this color" 🤣 Buc-ees is an experience on to itself. Great job doing your check list, OH that caterpillar 😮 -Michelle
Right?!
LOL you guys are funny. What a fun video. Love Buckeys. Went to one in Florida when we visited there. I live in San Diego area so snobby Cali doesn’t have one
Thanks for watching!
We were just there last Thursday!
Brisket sandwiches! I love Buc-ee’s brisket sandwiches!
I buy a couple to eat right away, and a couple for the road. (Xl of course!)
The brisket is definitely our favorite and we aren’t really fans of the Bu-cee Nuggets either
Taking pudding from Phil ! How could you? :)
Right!!!!!
That's probably why I haven't scheduled anywhere near a Buckees!!!😂😂😂
Enjoyed the video. Is that the Buccee's that caught fire yesterday in Texas?
It is the old one RIGHT next to the new one!
Get some 2 way radios so you always have comms!
885 Days today for me NO coffee or caffeine. I would do just the brisket without sauce or the bread. I will have to venture out since I haven't ever been in a Buc-ee
They have the cleanest bathrooms on the road.
Phil needs a Buc-ee’s jumper.
LOL
I don't pass a Buc-ee's without stopping.
Same here!
Dehydration must be a concern. Always found a fruit smoothie did the trick.
I'd be afraid to stop at that place because my hubby is the same! Lol 😂
You look down to earth on this video. Comfortable
Nice video you two!👍❤️
Thank you so much!!
Banana pudding is so good
The Buc ee's in Goodyear, AZ is going to be 75,400. So it will beat the one in TX.
This one is not exactly 75k. I think its 75,600 but dont quote me. According to the CEO, no Bucees outside of Texas will be larger than the Luling store. They want the title to stay in Texas.
I have been in that Buckees, didn't get anything but a sticker. Across the road, behind Love's is a lavender shop.
LOVE ME SOME BUC-EES!
"Fill" was being "phacetious."😂
Something told me that salted caramel would be a dud. I have to make it to a Buccees in my lifetime, and I will certainly be trying BOTH brisket sandwiches.
You have to at least once! LOL
Love beaver nuggets.
Love that campground, did you hit Juliette's restaurant near by?
We have before, just not this trip. We found a BBQ and pizza place in town that are awesome!!!
I drug my F150 about 100 yards with brake on. Lots of smoke and flat spots on the rear tires. Ouch!
Ouch is right! Glad it was just smoke!
WTH! The story about the inappropriate Goofy sounds very familiar.

A week ago.
