Hey Eric, the secret to keeping those TRI-Levelers in ONE piece is to always keep the tri-leveler on a piece of wood.
The reason tehy break is the UNEVEN ground underneath them. Just my $.02
7:35 One of those cats in the back pack looked like it was in distress. Cat's rarely pant like that. I would have said something. They had probably been standing in the sun. Some google searching says the inside of a car can get up to 116 degrees on a 72 degree day after 40 minutes in the sun. Those carriers appeared to have some ventilation, so I doubt it was 116F in there, but it was obviously too hot for that cat. The backpack had a mesh top, so it's probably never going to get super hot. I think they just had the cat in the sun for too long. My cat avoids the sun like he is a vampire unless it's below 50 F.
I had a problem with the tri - levelers on gravel too.........until I put a rubber mat under them. I looked on amazon for rubber work mat or walk way mat, got a roll 36" X 8' and cut 4 to fit under each tire. ( the rear ones are wide for a dually ) Works like a charm.
Looks like so much fun! Thanks for taking us along
It's fun if you can walk...and walk...and walk....and walk!😊
Bummer we missed you at the tent. We were in the booth right by the flag buddy but I think we were teaching a seminar. Maybe next time. Talked to Wayne and he was super helpful on an issue a friend was having. He is a good knowledgeable resource to have available to get work done on your rig. Excited for all the changes you are doing and wish you the best.
Glad to hear Wayne is on his way to help with the Solar.
A lot of interesting items at the show. I have one of the round collapsible seats. And it's awesome! Sat on it for 2 & 1/2 hours in line at DMV. It was a blessing. Have fun, take care. ❤️😊❤️ love to you and the kitties.
That place looks like so much fun !! it reminds me of a State fair almost, but for people who live in or enjoy R.V.'s ! amazing. If I wasn't hundreds of miles away I'd go check that out.
My Mom is in her RV down in Quartzsite for the Winter and left me all alone in Williams, AZ. She is a "seamstress". She doesn't do it professionally it's a love of hers. If you're looking for someone to sew your patches on your leather vest, She has her sewing machine with her.
The telescoping stools are the best. My uncle has a few and I used them several times last year when camping. They work especially well when you go fishing. Highly recommend.
Seriously, been riding for yrs Eric. Doesn't matter how careful u are, how loud your pipes, or how invisable you pretend to be. When some street racer weaves traffic or high speeds through an INJURE section, you won't be looking so cool anymore if u end up sucking your nutrition through a straw and wishing u had been wearing a full face helmet because your jaw was shattered. Cameras all over an rv for protection makes sense. Protecting your health makes even more sense.
Glad to see a smile back on your face and ya out havin’ some FUN!!! Thanks for sharing!!! 👍😀
So i suggest buying a set of levelers and pouring some self leveling epoxy into all the holes to make it more structural. More than likely will last a few years! Hope you get the registration fixed soon! Cheers!
I guess Quartzsite has embraced the rv campers. This has turned into a huge event. Lookin good!
Have fun!😊
Stay away from those hummingbird feeders, they are junk! We purchased one for ourselves and several as gifts for friends, and not a single hummingbird ever showed up to any of them. We all ended up throwing them away. As soon as we put the old feeders back up, all the birds came happily back.
Glad to see you feeling a bit better. You’ve been very professional through this whole thing and very informative also. I will not buy out of state just listening to you. Was cool seeing the products available for all of us RVers. Take care and can’t wait for the next one.
MUST be this guy's FIRST Harley Hahaha.... They are always fanatical and go overboard with the Harley merchandise crap... hahaha.... They got to let the world KNOW they own a Harley 😂😅.. you can spot a wannabe a mile away...A Harley chair..Harley logo on his trailer LOL😅😂....Then the Ridiculous Vest ...the ball cap ties the Wannabe Outlaw Biker look all together hahaha... Thanks mate you gave us all good laughs down at the pub... 👍
It is his first Harley, even got 2 huge Harley tattoos on both forearms.
Trolls never let the channels down🙄
And just what wannabes are you then?
@@lesleyhughes3174 NF is a poser and you know nothing about him, obviously.
@@Countess_Prankenstein-we8hx obviously you aren't the know it all you think you are. Nothing to do with him what I say to immature trolls like yourself.
Those Half a million Rv’s next to you are the Entegra owners association/club annual Quartsite meetup. Guy that has hosted it for years is Gary Jones. Great group of people. One day I am hoping to make that event. Cheers!
Tater tots looks really good👍😊
Darn it Eric watching people eat all this food really doesn’t bother me but darn it Eric you got me with those tachos. OMG throw it on the ground definitely. 👍🏼
Great video thank you!
Hope you continue to do fun things for yourself.
Hi there my mom and me would go over there all the time thanks for sharing
I went to the big tent today. The rain wasn’t too bad and the crowds were decent.
Great meeting you at The Spot.
Quite an event at the Big Tent. Enjoy!
Great Video, tips and advice. Ty
Nice tour of the Big Tent. Wish I was there. Maybe next year.
I have 2 of those collapsable stools They are great! Can sit down anywhere when we get tired.
Wow, those 'taters'! That's a LOT of food!
Nice.
Keep living the dream brother.
Gud Day, Eric. Found a leather seamstress who sews leather in the Wells Low Rent Booths behind the excellent Montana Honey. Wish I had thought about buying a BB Burger & Kilt Lifter . Cannot tell you how appreciative I am for your entertaining and providing how during my quadriplegic recovery. A pleasure to have met & chatted with you. Be confident in solving registration issue. May the Lord continue to expand your influence; and let His hands keep you from pain.
I also have gone through those levelers and wondered if I filled the cavities with silicon caulk if they would last longer...🥴🧐😊
I laughed when you gestured throwing the food on the ground lol😂
Not sure if taking your Bigfoot back to the dealership is a option? If so there is a 4x4 Bigfoot listed on CL in Seattle.
Oh so crowded, especially first day. Quiet at Pilot Knob. I'll be back to Q later in the week. Have list of questions.
Watching from the Carnival Valor cruise shop. Need to take my mind outta there 10 foot swells. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Eric Have fun man wish I were their I've never been but it looks like fun enjoy every moment
Thanks for the tour! Those collapsible stools work on flat ground. If you lean or put too much weight to one side all bets are off.
Those tachos looked fantastic!
WOW! Lots of people!
Ever thought of or did a live on RUclips?!
Definitely busier in the Q now. Good to help advertise what's in the big tent for campers and vendors. Yum, on the tater lunch. Fun with the friends. 🙂👍
I’m happy your kitty’s and you are doing okay. Are you working on any songs? My family and I love listening to the songs you create. :) ❤
Wow. I just added Gringo's to my list for next year. Thanks!
Love the inflatable hot tubs ❤
I'm a truck driver and drove through quartzite and saw a bunch of tents or something and was wondering what was going on
Thanks for the video. Watching from Kingman Arizona 👍
I love seeing you so happy! When I eventually retire..I am going to do the RV lifestyle. Make my house an AirBNB and roll!
Like the big tent, but also like flea market
Love your choice in music !
You deserve to have fun after all the chaos you’ve gone through with the RV Reg.
That collapsible stool would be great if you’re working on a project somewhere around the RV
Look at that sweet Opie in the door!
Awesome content Eric
That hummingbird feeder at 8:38 would be a pain to clean with all those feeding ports. 😮
They make the best tacos and stuff I love it there
Tacos is right next to the CBD spot ooohyeah☺️👍🏾
Wish I had seen this before I left Q! I avoid the tent, but your tour was pretty darned good. Next year, maybe.
I so miss Quartzite. Enjoy 😍
I love the totchos!!
I was there 1st thing, even did a e- bike test ride before it got too busy!!
Great video 😊
Great video! Looks like fun!
We are at Gringos for tachos but there are no tots in the county so we will eat the carne which is same but with fries
Bro I’m so excited to see Wayne doing your solar!! Yall good ppl
Where'd you get that fake palm tree? I love it. 😍
Florida RV show in Jacksonville is happening in two weeks!
Hi Eric , wish we there , I would be checking out solar for my coach! And batteries. Looks busy but fun to go though. Thanks for sharing, be safe!
Wish you would show more of Quartzsite
Back lot where there is a lot of cool things Please 😂
On the Tri levelers. Try cutting a piece of rubber mat to go under them when on gravel or a hard surface. It will make them last so much longer.
I bought a horse stall mat at tractor supply and cut the size I need and they are heavy-duty and work great!
I was thinking this same thing. A Rubber mat to help even out the pressure on the rocks. Horse stall mats from Tractor Supply like Mariner3 mentioned, would be a good option. They are tough and would probably last for years. Get a 3x4 sheet and cut it into 4 strips and your set. (Might need a 4x6 sheet)
Exactly what I did!
@@mariner3 yes I used the same.
Camouflage a hot tube Eric, in the RV parks.
i see you have a lot of ground mounted solar suitcase panels. how do you connect all those panels to the RV. do you use SAE plug or other connection to the MPPT in the RV.
Looks like you're having fun buddy. I was at the other show this week but I'm thinking about Quartzite next year. Keep the good stuff coming.
72 degrees is so nice
Awesome video
Good to see ya happy!
Did you say Randy the Mobile Traveler? Uh-Oh, good to know!
How much are the telescoping flag poles?
Nice vid.
I gotta know, did you eat all those tachos in one sitting ?
Wondering the same :)
We were there and I thought I saw you but I was too embarrassed to say hi.
Nkw we are at Ehrenberg Arizona doing the non-event whatever thing that is going on there
I always wanted to go to the gem, rock and mineral show there.
Me too!
👍
great video
I still remember Route 66 lol
Those Telescopic Stools are great.
🐂🇺🇸🐱🐎🤠
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Man I love when when kid kratic fanatic uploads I look forward to this for days. Hit the old dab pen and and enjoy fantastic nomadic.
Opie has gotten so big.Tara is such a sweet girl.
Wayne needs to stop at my place by ABQ.
Cool
I really like your void beause I need understand English. Thank you for your video. 😊
Glad to see you happy Eric 🙂
Eric great to finally meet you. The show was great I like going the first day to shows like this.
Great video as always check mine out when you find time. Wish Dione could have said hello too.
be safe and have fun. Mike & Dione
Just saw that there building a new Buck-eees in Goodyear off I-10
Has it already been a whole year since you had the "Tachos"??? I feel like you just had some recently from Gringos 🤔😓
Big events like that I would leave with a sore neck trying to see everything on both sides of the aisle. You would need a wagon or a sturdy back pack to carry all the things you purchased and don't need back to the RV. Thanks for sharing..HAVE FUN !
💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜
Hi Eric............i need to tour down to AZ been a while this seattle weather is driving me crazy
