True story, Linda, the one time I (Daniel) tried Pilates my muscles all seized up and the instructor had to come and comfort me while they relaxed. That was the first and last time I tried Pilates! 🤣I have so much respect for people that do Pilates. Lauren, on the other hand, is great at all of it!
@David Thomas, 🤣Thank you sir. We got a good laugh at ourselves over it too, both in the moment and watching the experience over again. 🤣Do you RV too?
Ah, great tip! We weren't sure, but that's good to know. Oh, and we'll make sure we keep those takes empty on the black and grey side of things. Great tip! L+D
Ahhhh!! I know right? We're even super excited about the second video coming out on Sunday. It still feels surreal that it happened. We're very glad we survived as well. 🤣
👀 We would probably die in weather like that! That's incredibly cold. 🥶 Yikes. It sound like this would have been a walk in the park for you. We still have so much to learn! 🙌 We'll get there. Thanks for watching, James. We really appreciate it. Lauren + Daniel
Good name recommendation, Chelo! This little piggy definitely took the worst of the cold weather outside! 🤣 It was frozen solid (it’s filled with water) for several days! 🥶 Lauren + Daniel
I love your channel. Just subscribed. Your man is just about handy as I am. Not handy at all. Lol. Good luck with your journey. I will be watching along the way.
Mrs. Idaho, I (Lauren) love Ziggy Piggy. I feel like it could fit perfectly into how I basically squeal at her every time I see her b/c she's so cute! 🐷🤣
I agree with other comments, def no need for the “thingamagig” lol. Also agree with other comments that if your only going down the street a short distance, carefully laying your propane tank flat shouldn’t be an issue. Love the channel!! You guys are learning soo much, such a great team.
Yes, not full time, but recreational in the spring, summer, and fall. We are from the northeast so winter is our off season. Lots of beautiful rv resorts up here to see if you guys make this way!
You may want, to consider putting your filter at the Y splitter. That has 2 advantages. First that added weight is not hanging off the side of the trailer putting strain on the trailer fitting. Second is it is hard to defeat gravity when filling your fresh water tank and that added filter weight was giving you problems. Looking forward to part two.
Very good points, Peter! I'm (Daniel) going to start hooking up the filter at the y splitter from now on. This comment is one of the MANY reasons we love RUclips! We've learned so much from the feedback we've received, so thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. We both genuinely appreciate it! Lauren + Daniel
Hey Hey You Two! Sir Pigmus the Great is my choice 🤣 Another stellar video....sorry you froze your buns off, but these adventures are what makes "wandering" amazing! Every new day makes you stronger, wiser and appreciate the warmth of sun rays so much more 🙂🙃
🐷Sir Pigmus the Great! 👑Makes me (Lauren) think he came from Narnia. Love those books - and movies too of course! And, agreed on the point of wandering. 💙 Every day since the Texas Freeze where it's been warm and sunny outside, I basically jump out of the Airstream in the morning singing to the birds like I think I'm Snow White or something. 🤣
💩🐷🤣This one is too cute! 🤣 Stay tuned. We're going to be selecting our favorite three names this week and doing a poll on our Community tab to select the final name. 💪
@@Wanderlocal saw you use the valve when you finished filling, couldn't help but wonder why you wasn't using it when turning the water on, instead of trying to run back and forth? Made for good entertainment though! 😅
We really hope so, Kurt! 🤣 After living 5 months in an RV full-time we're still learning new stuff basically daily and just praying we didn't break anything on accident. 🤣 But, we love the challenge, that's part of what makes is so much fun! Do you RV too?
@@Wanderlocal yes I do,AS #5 now. I had my 64 overland in 4 degrees:2 ft of snow on the AS. I understand your feelings through the cold snap! Stay safe.
Stephanie, thank you for this comment! Someone mentioned this earlier, and I (Daniel) wasn’t sure of the reasoning. I know we have a lot of new RV followers, so hopefully they’ll all see this and learn from our mistakes. Lauren and I genuinely appreciate it when we get these sort of comments. Thank you again! 🙏
@@Wanderlocal our propane at our warehouse is stored on their sides for months on end in a container designed to keep them on their sides. Shouldn’t be an issue.
Stuart, true story, I (Daniel) would have never thought about it until you mentioned it, but you’re probably right! 😬 I have no doubt someone will make a comment calling me out on it. Actually, I hope someone does. That’s how we’ve been learning from this experience. We genuinely appreciate all of these comments so so much! 🙌 Daniel
Daniel you did nothing wrong with laying it down for a short transport. It is best to transport standing up for 2 reasons. A) so it doesn’t roll around and get damaged. It is lay it down, make sure it’s secure. And B) in the event it gets damaged, if it’s on its side the valve at the top may (key word being may) not do it’s job. With that being said, it was in the back of your truck and secure. I wouldn’t lay it in my back seat, but you were more then safe. And B) you only drove maybe a couple of miles. I wouldn’t travel cross country with it laying down, but I watched my dad lay them down for short runs to the store as a kid. I have always done it and good news..... I have all my arms and legs and I have never damaged a tank! 🤓🤓🤓🤓
To avoid the spray, when you turn the water off, open the ‘other’ side of your Y adapter (where you had the flush hose) and the pressure will be released to that side. Then you can unscrew the hose with no spray. Oink.
Thanks, Greg! We sure do make plenty of them, so keep on watching. 🤣It's like an entire RUclips channel dedicated to what NOT to do! We're hoping everyone learns from our mistakes, because, as you probably know (case in point our awning video), mistakes can be costly! 😬 L+D
@Greg Samples, thankful the worst thing we've done so far was break the awning. That wasn't cheap, but it sure as heck wasn't as bad as side damage. 🤦♀️
🤣Okay, Miss Poopsey is adorable. 🤣This video is mild compared to how crazy things get in the Sunday video, so we're super glad we made it out safely too! We learned so much about our Airstream during the Texas Freeze.
You kids are a barrel of laughs...that was a great adventure...only two words of advice "buddy heater" get a couple of monoxide monitors and crack a roof vent and you will be warm as a bug in rug...you can get a adapter to fill the little propane cylinders of the big ones on your airstream!!.😎❤🇺🇲
Great tip, Brad! We would have paid ANYTHING to be as warm as a bug in a rug during this pickle of a situation! 🤣 We'll have to loo into these Buddy Heaters. Thanks for watching - Lauren + Daniel
Kevin Bacon for the piggy. Although I think Sooey is good too. Also, about the baby wipes, Hill Country Fare is H‑E‑B’s own brand! I love my H‑E‑B! And thanks for the laughs. I almost spit my water out when you were getting the yoga mat out and it pops up “not gonna happen.” 🤣
🤣Ahhh Kevin Bacon. After all everyone's only one degree of seperation from Kevin Bacon too. 🤣 Also, I (Lauren) am glad my "not gonna happen" text made you laugh too. 🤣When I was editing this, I saw this clip and just couldn't help myself. My optimism for doing my workouts through the Texas Freeze madness was just too funny to me in hindsight. And, good to know about Hill Country Fare! We're pretty big H-E-B fans now too. ❤️
You should get quick connects for the water.. A quick connect fitting is a coupling used to provide a fast, make-or-break connection of fluid transfer lines... it will save on your connections.. good idea for a beer & snack.. Chasing RV Sunshine ☀️ Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
Joel, Deb and Maya, we actually got these a few weeks back and totally forgot about them! This is a great reminder. 🤣 We've had a lot going on lately between the Texas Freeze and work. We'll get those setup at our next stop in Fredericksburg, TX. ❤️
My Florida hurricane kit is always “full” so I don’t make any emergency runs. every time I shop, I pick up essentials and put them away. (Including toilet paper). Plus I have 5 bins of freeze dried survival foods. I think if I was RV’ing, I’d have a stash, especially the freeze died foods. We camped across the country about a dozen times. Lived off the survival Packs.
That is a good plan, Linda! We've already started planning for future storms by loading up on the essentials, and things that'll make like MUCH easier the next time something like this happens!
We like your temp scale. There were parts of Texas in the single digits. That is just WAY too cold. Brrrr 🥶No human should have to endure those kind of temps. Especially, those from Texas or Florida! 🤣
@@Wanderlocal I remember single digits while growing up in Boston. Made my lungs hurt and my nostrils stick together. Which is why I’ve been in Florida since 1965. I don’t do cold. I don’t mind “visiting” snow. But damned If I want to have to live with it ever again.
Just checked the "shopping cart theory." Happy to report I am a shopping cart returner. Glad you survived your Texas trip (watched PT 2 first). Love your AS.
Thanks, Kay! Yay, glad you're one of us who returns the cart! 🙌 Oh, and we're glad we survived too. It was definitely a learning experience. 😬 Hopefully, it'll be our first and last experience with a snow storm. We've realized we're just not cut out for that kind of cold. We prefer the warm sun! 🌞 How about you? Are you a fan of the cold?
@@Wanderlocal Thanks for the reply❤. Yes, definitely a lesson learned - the hard way. Hope you are back in warmer weather. I am originally from northern IL/southern WI so am used to colder weather. I actually like it! However, I don't think I would want to RV camp in those conditions. Right now I am lusting after an AS and love your Classic. You are a cute couple. Keep up the good work 😎.
You two are a cute couple and tell a good story, love your stile of telling you story. I am slowly going through your vlogs. Other good story tellers are Newstate nomads and our journey in myles if you like watching other Vlogs. Have you thought about investing in lithium batteries?
Hi Richard! Thank you so much for the kind words. 🙏 We both genuinely appreciate it. Oh, and we just checked out the other channels (and subscribed). You’re right! They also do a wonderful job of telling a story. That’s something we pride ourselves on doing with our channel, so it’s nice to see others doing the same! As you go through the videos be sure to comment. We love getting to know everyone!!! Lauren + Daniel
Thank you SO MUCH for subscribing Water and Land Adventures! We 💯 genuinely appreciate it. We’re out to encourage as many people as possible to not only shop local, but to start checking labels and buying American-made products. We own a small business ourselves and know just how important it is to keep every dollar here in the US right now. 🇺🇸
@@Wanderlocal Thank you for expressing buying in the USA in most your very fun videos. You guys are definitely fun and REAL. Glad I found your channel.
Sorry for your troubles but thanks for sharing a great video! You two are so transparent and it’s refreshing. Perhaps we’ll meet at an Airstream Rally someday.
Mike, thank you and we sure hope we get to meet at an Airstream Rally! We're so excited about getting to go to one. Maybe later this year? Daniel has been looking at the one in Lebanon, TN in the summer. Do you have a favorite one?
@@Wanderlocal thanks for the reply. We’re planning to attend the International Rally in Lebanon, Tn as well. It’ll be our first international. We enjoy Alumalina which is in Marion, NC in late October. We also really like our unit rallies which are every month around South Carolina. Stay safe and keep posting!
LOL @ Daniel dropping the water hose! Glad y'all left that clip in! LOL! What is the deal with the pink pig? We have never seen this before. We vote for naming it Sooie Sue!
Hi Broken Dreams! Yeah, I (Daniel) should have known she (Lauren) was going to leave that part in when she edited the video. 🤣I think that cold weather lowered my IQ by a lot. So many mistakes! Oh, and the pink pig. We love him, and other campers always comment on it when they walk by our camp site. He (that's what I"m calling it for now) is very popular. We purchase him on Amazon, but they have a main website (Sewie Pig). Thanks for the name suggestion! I like it. ❤️
@@Wanderlocal We went to the Sewie Pig website and that is a very creative idea! We might have to think about getting one now! LOL! Thanks for sharing!
Kristi!!!!! We're so glad you found us on here. We've been day dreaming about that pizza all week. 😍 We're actually doing something even crazier to remember our time here in Austin tomorrow! We're gonna be doing a video on it soon so stay tuned. 😝
wessebaggers, 🤣, not a chance! We love Michigan, but if it's going to be that cold you can count us out. We should be cycling back through Michigan later this summer - so thankfully no weather below zero - we hope. 🥶 Thanks for watching! Lauren + Daniel
Nancy, yes!! We definitely need wool socks. I (Lauren) asked Daniel where the socks his mom gets him for Christmas every year, and he said he donated them in our last minimalism purge. We will definitely be keeping them this year! 🎄 As for the reusable bags, we actually do typically use these (although we've had them forever so I don't know if they are made in America). In our hurry to get supplies I left them in the car. 🤦♀️ But, it sure would be cool to have American-made ones. Gonna have to look for those!
Water hose tip number 1. Coil hose up and secure with a Velcro wrap. Then turn it around like the hands of a clock and the water will drain out in a few revolutions. Tip 2. There are little white caps you can get that cover the ends of the hose the keep bugs and dirt out. They have little holes to allow any moisture to evaporate to keep mold or mildew from growing. They are cheap and your water hose always smells fresh and clean. Top 3. Put your water filter on your pressure gauge side. The city water inlet doesn’t like that much weight hanging off it. It’s plastic.
Thanks for the wonderful tips, Jody! We began placing the inline inter at the gauge side recently. You are correct - it keep the weight off of the plastic inlet. Also, do you have a link to those little white plastic caps? We'd love to order a set! It sounds like a 'must have' accessory. Lauren + Daniel
@@Wanderlocal hi, going to try the you tube reply again. Kept getting 404 errors. They are called water hose caps. A Valterra product. About $4.50. Camping world for sure. Amazon also, though like you, I like to stay local as possible.
I called the pig Galileo because he was another famous person good person too he like to watch the Stars and you're not supposed to leave your sewer hose out in the cold it will freeze please put it away next time your friend John chalker Waterbury Connecticut CC
Ah, Galileo! I think our little 🐷thinks the stars are the best part about his job. 🤣 And, good to know about the sewer hose. We're hoping that we don't have to winter camp again any time soon, but next time we won't leave it out!
Magnum PIG was a good one. (Love Magnum. Daa daa daa DUM digga dum digga dum digga dum) Notorious PIG wouldve been good too. I just had to have one. Gonna name mine Sewie Griffin. Lol.
Y’all r silly. It’s like 50 degrees. That’s barely sweater weather. Up north, they’d be in shirtsleeves. Don’t trust the tank level indicators. Consider wearing other colors. Kinda looks like y’all are wearing long johns. Do you need to keep the flush hose connected all the time? Seems like a great way to have a Mt. Vesewageius moment, if you accidentally turn. It on.
@Dan White, stay tuned! We're gonna be doing a poll in our Community tab later this week with our top three names to finalize the piggy's name. It's gonna be fun! 🐷
Steve Powell, we've heard a lot about the Berkey water system. We're gonna have to do more research on that, because we agree with you. We never drink the water from the campgrounds. But, bottled water isn't ideal either. Thanks for the tip!
@@Wanderlocal Thats right sir cant wait till Sunday too see what comes next here at our house in Oklahoma we had 18 inches of snow on top of 3 inches of ice yuck
18” of snow! 🥶 That is unreal. I’d be mostly concerned with that ice, especially when driving. Oh, you’re going to see how well I do in this Sunday’s video. It does NOT go well. 😬
@@Wanderlocal Dont worry be this time next year you two will be pros at this RV living thing goodnight yall got to get up early in the AM for work and the PT thing on my shoulder
@@Wanderlocal It's like he's got a snorkel, but it's coming out the wrong end! Ouchie! LOL... It's appropriate potty humor, considering piggy's job. :D
Yeah, that would normally be the case. But, we just didn't' expect it to get that bad and for such an extended period of time. By the time we new we were in trouble, we were too far South. All the roads to get us anywhere other than Mexico were iced over. 🤷♀️
🤣I (Lauren) am a huge Harry Potter fan, so I'm so digging this. We're gonna do a poll later this week with our top three names on our Community tab, so stay tuned! Names coming soon. 🐷
Jeffrey, you can count us out! 🤣 Our blood is too thin. That being said, we can't wait to visit Maine in the summer. Do you have any cities or places in Maine you're recommend? L+D
@@Wanderlocal I would recommend Mid Coast (Rockland or Wiscasset areas in the summer. No bustle of the city and plenty of places to visit. Sorry it took so long to reply, hope you make it here in 2022!
Nice job on the vid and yes good cliffhanger, im looking forward 4 pt 2. As a Floridian, I take out cash 💸 with water, gas, and food. Was it cash that you guys forgot?
cmvprod, good call. We didn't think to do that either. Thankfully it didn't bite us in the butt this time, but we'll put that on our list for emergencies in the future! Our biggest mistake in this crazy saga was not getting gas though and we're going to pay for it big time in tomorrow's episode. 🤦♀️
@cmvprod, yup. We had propane for days. In fact, it took us a full week to go through one of our 40lb tanks. On the other hand, we froze our butts off thanks to not getting gas. 🤦♀️
@@Wanderlocal I’m glad you liked it. I get a kick out of watching you guys. I’ll admit, I cringe at times, but it’s good entertainment. I’d love to be the guy who’s name you select.
@Brick Works Academy, truth! We're gonna be doing a poll in our community this week with our favorite three names, so we can all pick together! Stay tuned. It's gonna be fun. 🐷

if you have tank heaters they are on all the tanks but it is good to drain the black and grey tanks so that they are empty when you start
Ah, great tip! We weren't sure, but that's good to know. Oh, and we'll make sure we keep those takes empty on the black and grey side of things. Great tip! L+D
You will always have extra space in the tank when it shows 100% to allow for expansion if it freezes so you don't burst the tank.
Oh, good to know!

Kevin Bacon for the piggy. Although I think Sooey is good too. Also, about the baby wipes, Hill Country Fare is H‑E‑B’s own brand! I love my H‑E‑B! And thanks for the laughs. I almost spit my water out when you were getting the yoga mat out and it pops up “not gonna happen.” 🤣
🤣Ahhh Kevin Bacon. After all everyone's only one degree of seperation from Kevin Bacon too. 🤣
Also, I (Lauren) am glad my "not gonna happen" text made you laugh too. 🤣When I was editing this, I saw this clip and just couldn't help myself. My optimism for doing my workouts through the Texas Freeze madness was just too funny to me in hindsight.
And, good to know about Hill Country Fare! We're pretty big H-E-B fans now too. ❤️
Try Minnesota in the winter for cold camping!
LOL -- I give this video * * * * *
(5 stars)
Awww, thanks, Ken! We put a lot into each and every video, so that means a lot. 🙏 Lauren + Daniel
Check out the zero g collapsible water hose! So much easier to manage than a standard hose.
Thanks, Beth! We're definitely going to check that out. Thanks for the recommendation, Lauren + Daniel
You should get quick connects for the water.. A quick connect fitting is a coupling used to provide a fast, make-or-break connection of fluid transfer lines... it will save on your connections.. good idea for a beer & snack.. Chasing RV Sunshine ☀️ Joel, Deb & 🐕 Maya
Joel, Deb and Maya, we actually got these a few weeks back and totally forgot about them! This is a great reminder. 🤣 We've had a lot going on lately between the Texas Freeze and work. We'll get those setup at our next stop in Fredericksburg, TX. ❤️
@@Wanderlocal awesome and safe travels!
Thank you friends! ❤️
My Florida hurricane kit is always “full” so I don’t make any emergency runs. every time I shop, I pick up essentials and put them away. (Including toilet paper). Plus I have 5 bins of freeze dried survival foods. I think if I was RV’ing, I’d have a stash, especially the freeze died foods. We camped across the country about a dozen times. Lived off the survival Packs.
That is a good plan, Linda! We've already started planning for future storms by loading up on the essentials, and things that'll make like MUCH easier the next time something like this happens!
I love you guys your so funny G Bless you I like you videos
Thank you so much Cesar! We appreciate all the love and for you taking the time to watch our video. You're the best! ❤️
40 degrees is getting on to cold. 50’s is mildly chilly. 60’s is brisk.
We like your temp scale. There were parts of Texas in the single digits. That is just WAY too cold. Brrrr 🥶No human should have to endure those kind of temps. Especially, those from Texas or Florida! 🤣
@@Wanderlocal
I remember single digits while growing up in Boston. Made my lungs hurt and my nostrils stick together. Which is why I’ve been in Florida since 1965. I don’t do cold. I don’t mind “visiting” snow. But damned If I want to have to live with it ever again.
Amen to that, Linda! Florida is the best, which is why we call it home. 🙌
Just checked the "shopping cart theory." Happy to report I am a shopping cart returner. Glad you survived your Texas trip (watched PT 2 first). Love your AS.
Thanks, Kay! Yay, glad you're one of us who returns the cart! 🙌 Oh, and we're glad we survived too. It was definitely a learning experience. 😬 Hopefully, it'll be our first and last experience with a snow storm. We've realized we're just not cut out for that kind of cold. We prefer the warm sun! 🌞 How about you? Are you a fan of the cold?
@@Wanderlocal Thanks for the reply❤. Yes, definitely a lesson learned - the hard way. Hope you are back in warmer weather. I am originally from northern IL/southern WI so am used to colder weather. I actually like it! However, I don't think I would want to RV camp in those conditions. Right now I am lusting after an AS and love your Classic. You are a cute couple. Keep up the good work 😎.
Thanks, Kay! Well if you ever have any questions about an AS with unbiased feedback, you can always count on us! 🙌
Do the Flamingos hold any specific notion? Lol
You two are a cute couple and tell a good story, love your stile of telling you story. I am slowly going through your vlogs. Other good story tellers are Newstate nomads and our journey in myles if you like watching other Vlogs. Have you thought about investing in lithium batteries?
Hi Richard! Thank you so much for the kind words. 🙏 We both genuinely appreciate it. Oh, and we just checked out the other channels (and subscribed). You’re right! They also do a wonderful job of telling a story. That’s something we pride ourselves on doing with our channel, so it’s nice to see others doing the same! As you go through the videos be sure to comment. We love getting to know everyone!!! Lauren + Daniel
Oh, and we are DEFINITELY doing our homework on a lithium, inverter, solar upgrade! 🙌
We just found your channel. As soon as I seen you source out made in the USA items I subscribed. Nice to add you guys as friends. Safe travels.
Thank you SO MUCH for subscribing Water and Land Adventures! We 💯 genuinely appreciate it. We’re out to encourage as many people as possible to not only shop local, but to start checking labels and buying American-made products. We own a small business ourselves and know just how important it is to keep every dollar here in the US right now. 🇺🇸
@@Wanderlocal Thank you for expressing buying in the USA in most your very fun videos. You guys are definitely fun and REAL. Glad I found your channel.
Sorry for your troubles but thanks for sharing a great video! You two are so transparent and it’s refreshing. Perhaps we’ll meet at an Airstream Rally someday.
Mike, thank you and we sure hope we get to meet at an Airstream Rally! We're so excited about getting to go to one. Maybe later this year? Daniel has been looking at the one in Lebanon, TN in the summer. Do you have a favorite one?
@@Wanderlocal thanks for the reply. We’re planning to attend the International Rally in Lebanon, Tn as well. It’ll be our first international. We enjoy Alumalina which is in Marion, NC in late October. We also really like our unit rallies which are every month around South Carolina. Stay safe and keep posting!
@@mikemadden865 that sounds awesome! We’ll have to look those up. And hopefully we’ll get to meet in person in TN! 😍
Flo, you should name the Sewey Pig Flo because she hides just that, the flow ;)
🤣🤣🤣omg. This is a really freaking funny one. 🤣🤣🤣
@@Wanderlocal glad you like it. Really liking the channel btw. Keep it up and stay safe. :)
LOL @ Daniel dropping the water hose! Glad y'all left that clip in! LOL! What is the deal with the pink pig? We have never seen this before. We vote for naming it Sooie Sue!
Hi Broken Dreams! Yeah, I (Daniel) should have known she (Lauren) was going to leave that part in when she edited the video. 🤣I think that cold weather lowered my IQ by a lot. So many mistakes! Oh, and the pink pig. We love him, and other campers always comment on it when they walk by our camp site. He (that's what I"m calling it for now) is very popular. We purchase him on Amazon, but they have a main website (Sewie Pig). Thanks for the name suggestion! I like it. ❤️
@@Wanderlocal We went to the Sewie Pig website and that is a very creative idea! We might have to think about getting one now! LOL! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome!
Stuart, I’ve heard the same thing. I don’t think it’s a good idea
Hi Brian! Thank you for watching, We got our butts handed to us on this one, right?! 🤣 Lauren + Daniel
Wilber!!!!!!
Ya gotta love a Mr Ed reference! Such a great show. 🙌 Thanks for the name suggestion. Lauren + Daniel
@@Wanderlocal I see I was late to the game...lol! I just found you all. Glad I did :)
Austin the Pig! To remember your visit to Texas. It was great meeting you guys, y'all stay safe! - East Austin Pizza ( ❤️ Kristi- your bartender)
Kristi!!!!! We're so glad you found us on here. We've been day dreaming about that pizza all week. 😍 We're actually doing something even crazier to remember our time here in Austin tomorrow! We're gonna be doing a video on it soon so stay tuned. 😝
How about "Piggy" or "Piglet" or "Piggy-Poo"??? Yeah, I know ... they're not exactly original ... but kinda cute, methinks!
wethinks those are great names as well! 🙌 Thanks for the recommendations, Timothy. Lauren + Daniel
@@Wanderlocal Thanks for replying, y'all! Another possibility ... "HAMBONE"
Awesome ... Did you leave the fill up station by MIDNIGHT?⛄
i bet you missed warm sunny Florida
@NatureRecycleFlorida, we've been missing warm sunny Florida since we got to Texas, which was almost a month ago now! We love Florida. ☀️
The pink sewer pig is obviously a lady, so I pick “Sew-ella” (Suella). You guys crack me up - funny video. Looking forward to Part 2!
🤣Oh, I (Lauren) agree! Sew-ella is adorable. 😍
PiggiePoo....
Little Piggiepoo
@Jason Havel, isn't our piggy so cute?!? 🐷We ended up naming him Magnum P.I.G. thanks to one of our awesome viewers suggestions. 🤣
Well if you thought 40 ° was cold you should come to Michigan this winter we had some - 4 ° I love watching you two 😉😀
wessebaggers, 🤣, not a chance! We love Michigan, but if it's going to be that cold you can count us out. We should be cycling back through Michigan later this summer - so thankfully no weather below zero - we hope. 🥶 Thanks for watching! Lauren + Daniel
Wool socks on your feet when it is cold. Wander Local needs some made in the USA reusable grocery bags. Another informative and entertaining video.
Definitely need the bags - that should be next on their list....
Nancy, yes!! We definitely need wool socks. I (Lauren) asked Daniel where the socks his mom gets him for Christmas every year, and he said he donated them in our last minimalism purge. We will definitely be keeping them this year! 🎄
As for the reusable bags, we actually do typically use these (although we've had them forever so I don't know if they are made in America). In our hurry to get supplies I left them in the car. 🤦♀️ But, it sure would be cool to have American-made ones. Gonna have to look for those!
We would put a tarp on the ground spray water 💦 on it and you have an ice rink
Wonderpiggy
🤣🤣🤣 Love it! 🐷
Water hose tip number 1. Coil hose up and secure with a Velcro wrap. Then turn it around like the hands of a clock and the water will drain out in a few revolutions. Tip 2. There are little white caps you can get that cover the ends of the hose the keep bugs and dirt out. They have little holes to allow any moisture to evaporate to keep mold or mildew from growing. They are cheap and your water hose always smells fresh and clean. Top 3. Put your water filter on your pressure gauge side. The city water inlet doesn’t like that much weight hanging off it. It’s plastic.
Thanks for the wonderful tips, Jody! We began placing the inline inter at the gauge side recently. You are correct - it keep the weight off of the plastic inlet. Also, do you have a link to those little white plastic caps? We'd love to order a set! It sounds like a 'must have' accessory. Lauren + Daniel
@@Wanderlocal hi, going to try the you tube reply again. Kept getting 404 errors. They are called water hose caps. A Valterra product. About $4.50. Camping world for sure. Amazon also, though like you, I like to stay local as possible.
@@Wanderlocal caps probably at Walmart also
Correction: water hose storage caps...
Jody, thank you so much for this info! We’ll definitely make it a point to pick some up as soon as we can. This is very helpful. ❤️🙏
I called the pig Galileo because he was another famous person good person too he like to watch the Stars and you're not supposed to leave your sewer hose out in the cold it will freeze please put it away next time your friend John chalker Waterbury Connecticut CC
Ah, Galileo! I think our little 🐷thinks the stars are the best part about his job. 🤣
And, good to know about the sewer hose. We're hoping that we don't have to winter camp again any time soon, but next time we won't leave it out!
Magnum PIG was a good one. (Love Magnum. Daa daa daa DUM digga dum digga dum digga dum) Notorious PIG wouldve been good too. I just had to have one. Gonna name mine Sewie Griffin. Lol.
The reason it fills past 100% is because of the overflow / vent line. That also pumps it to the ground just like leaving the dump valve open lol.
🤦♀️SNeal5966, well now we know! 🤣At least it didn't break anything. That's always a win for us. 🤣
The obvious name for piggy Is of course Bacon.
🤣Awe. Poor piggy. 🤣
Y’all r silly. It’s like 50 degrees. That’s barely sweater weather. Up north, they’d be in shirtsleeves.
Don’t trust the tank level indicators.
Consider wearing other colors. Kinda looks like y’all are wearing long johns.
Do you need to keep the flush hose connected all the time? Seems like a great way to have a Mt. Vesewageius moment, if you accidentally turn. It on.
Magnum P.I.G (poop inspector general) 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 I (Lauren) love this one. 🤣🤣🤣
I thought it was pretty good also 🤣
@Dan White, stay tuned! We're gonna be doing a poll in our Community tab later this week with our top three names to finalize the piggy's name. It's gonna be fun! 🐷
@@Wanderlocal I can’t wait!!! You guys make this so fun!!! 😎🐷🐽🐷
Thanks @Dani White! We love this community, so it's super easy to make it fun. ❤️
You should make the pig Chop Suey.
🤣oh my. This. is a funny one. Love this, Tori. 🤣
You can name him Jerry after Superman’s creator. Jerry the piggy.
JD, good call. This will be one of the top ideas on Daniel's list for sure! 🦸♂️
Actually, after further thought, it may be a little disrespectful to such an important person. How about Wilbur, from Charlotte’s web?
Steve Powell
Highly recommend the Berkey water system, I would never drink RV park water. Your water filter is not sufficient.
Steve Powell, we've heard a lot about the Berkey water system. We're gonna have to do more research on that, because we agree with you. We never drink the water from the campgrounds. But, bottled water isn't ideal either. Thanks for the tip!
Lowlander or lancewood , made up from letters in your logo
Robert, this one is totally getting brownie points for creativity. Lowlander esp. since our Sewie pig has tiny little legs. 🤣🐷
Its ok Dan this Texas boy dont do cold either if its below 80 I need a coat myself and making mistakes is how you learn you know
Thanks, Terry! 🙏 This is Daniel, and I concur. I feel like us Florida and Texas boys aren’t made for this kind of crazy weather. Much appreciated. 🙌
@@Wanderlocal Thats right sir cant wait till Sunday too see what comes next here at our house in Oklahoma we had 18 inches of snow on top of 3 inches of ice yuck
18” of snow! 🥶 That is unreal. I’d be mostly concerned with that ice, especially when driving. Oh, you’re going to see how well I do in this Sunday’s video. It does NOT go well. 😬
@@Wanderlocal Dont worry be this time next year you two will be pros at this RV living thing goodnight yall got to get up early in the AM for work and the PT thing on my shoulder
Thanks @Terry Elliott! We're keeping our fingers crossed that you are right. 🤞🤣
In England they have a gummy candy with the pink pig named Percy Pig.
Totally googling this! We have to try these. 😍
If you want us to send some, let us know how. We send them to the states all the time, but the vegan ones aren’t as good.
Idaho
Maybe I'm weird, but I would name the pig Snorkel. Snork, for short.
TheAmazingUnderDog, nope. Not weird at all. Esp. after Daniel's snorting that sounded like he needed a snorkel! Love Snork for short. 🤣
@@Wanderlocal It's like he's got a snorkel, but it's coming out the wrong end! Ouchie! LOL... It's appropriate potty humor, considering piggy's job. :D
Why didn’t you move someplace warmer when you could for the week? Isn’t that why you are mobile?
Yeah, that would normally be the case. But, we just didn't' expect it to get that bad and for such an extended period of time. By the time we new we were in trouble, we were too far South. All the roads to get us anywhere other than Mexico were iced over. 🤷♀️
De thaw ? Is that even a word ?
😂Definitely not. We think the cold may have impaired our cognitive abilities. 🥶L+D
Mudbugg
🤣I (Lauren) am a huge Harry Potter fan, so I'm so digging this. We're gonna do a poll later this week with our top three names on our Community tab, so stay tuned! Names coming soon. 🐷
Cold?????? Come to Maine in the winter!
Jeffrey, you can count us out! 🤣 Our blood is too thin. That being said, we can't wait to visit Maine in the summer. Do you have any cities or places in Maine you're recommend? L+D
@@Wanderlocal I would recommend Mid Coast (Rockland or Wiscasset areas in the summer. No bustle of the city and plenty of places to visit. Sorry it took so long to reply, hope you make it here in 2022!
Nice job on the vid and yes good cliffhanger, im looking forward 4 pt 2. As a Floridian, I take out cash 💸 with water, gas, and food. Was it cash that you guys forgot?
cmvprod, good call. We didn't think to do that either. Thankfully it didn't bite us in the butt this time, but we'll put that on our list for emergencies in the future! Our biggest mistake in this crazy saga was not getting gas though and we're going to pay for it big time in tomorrow's episode. 🤦♀️
@@Wanderlocal dang, I thought u guys got gas but it was propane thar u got, right ✅ ok safe travels my friends!🙏🚙🍷
@cmvprod, yup. We had propane for days. In fact, it took us a full week to go through one of our 40lb tanks. On the other hand, we froze our butts off thanks to not getting gas. 🤦♀️
Name the pig Penelope (Penny) for short!
Rebecca, I can totally see us calling her Penny! I (Lauren) am trying to convince Daniel and it's a girl though. 🤣
I go for Poopie pig.
5 second rule! 😂😂😂
More like 3 seconds, so it’s a good thing no one was watching! 🤣 L+D
I love my H-E-B! 🥰
Heck. yea, Lynette! So do we. It's hard not to love a grocery store that supports locally made products as much as they do. ❤️
pig: "Mrs Rosa" - means pink in Portuguese and also the name of the rose flower, which has a beautiful perfume. (suitable for the use) :)
Yes!!! We love this one. It would definitely be ideal if she had a little perfume to her. 🤣❤️
@@Wanderlocal Just for the fun, this could be arranged with a scented dog collar! I found one at the internet with rose prints, in pink color! :) :)
🤣 Googling this now. 🤣
Pig Name = Chunks
Love it. I’m (Daniel) getting those Goonies vibes aka: best movie EVER! 🙌
Name him, Pee Pee Poo Poo.
🤣 This name would be very appropriate and literal. 🤣
If you didn’t use the thingamajigy, your hose would have held in the water fill hole just fine.
🤣 Scott, we will definitely be trying it without the darn thingamajigy next time. As it obviously made the job harder, not easier. 🤣
Harry Plopper? Mr Drops a Deuce?
🤣Harry Plopper!!! 🤣I (Lauren) am like the biggest Harry Potter fan EVER, so I love this one.
@@Wanderlocal I’m glad you liked it. I get a kick out of watching you guys. I’ll admit, I cringe at times, but it’s good entertainment. I’d love to be the guy who’s name you select.
@ArizonababaBooey, just imaging seeing the non-editing versions. 🤣I (Lauren) cringe A LOT. 🤣
I vote for Wilbur from Charlotte's Web
Brick Works Academy, I (Lauren) love Charlotte's Web! I can't believe I didn't think of this one myself. 😍🐷
@@Wanderlocal Wilbur is a sweety. :-) David
@Brick Works Academy, truth! We're gonna be doing a poll in our community this week with our favorite three names, so we can all pick together! Stay tuned. It's gonna be fun. 🐷
LOL winter blast and you did not prep the generators
Right?! [insert 100 face palms here] Such a HUGE mistake. It cost us dearly!!!!!! 🥶
