    Love the full hook ups 🤣 can't wait until the full eletric 350 🙄.Have you seen lippert is in the planning stages of a rv chassis with electric drive axles to help the electric tow vehicle get more distance what a joke. I did see you have a lectric bike those are something electric that's worth while and practical I love mine.

    • @PavingNewPaths
      @PavingNewPaths  Год назад +2

      There is no doubt that if they had an electric F350 it would pull way more than we can now, but until I can go 300 plus miles pulling without having to charge it'd doesn't matter what it can pull! They will eventually get it figured out, but there is going to be trade off's that have to be made to get it done! We love our Lectric bike!

    • @chuckchillson2877
      @chuckchillson2877 Год назад +2

      @Paving New Paths I think electric vehicles maybe ok for certain things but nothing I really want 350 fully electric may pull more but payload would suffer the ford halftone lighting ways like 6,000lbs a350 would be probably 10,000

    • @PavingNewPaths
      @PavingNewPaths  Год назад +2

      For sure it would suffer in payload, it might even weigh more than 10,000lbs when its said and done! I will start to come around when they get the electric semi trucks figured out!

    Looks like a blast. You have probably moved but the Parrot place was pretty fun for my kids when we went there. Just don't wear your best clothes and be ready for a parrot to land on your shoulder. Hope you all stay safe and healthy.

      Thanks for that suggestion! We will have to add that to our list for next time!

    Hi from West Virginia!! We got a newer camper and I'm in the process of getting it ready for the road for our spring trip to PA!! Then this fall we're headed to Pigeon Forge too!! Is the Buc-ee's open at Exit 407? I really want to stop at one!! (I sure parking in Gatlinburg was fun with that F350 Dually!!) Stay safe!!

      Congratulation's on the new RV the Buc-ee's at exit 407 was not open yet when we left but it might be soon! Gatlinburg was not very difficult in the dually, the worst place so far has been Charleston South Carolina!

      All of our air system is linked in the description of this video! We didn't have this channel when we installed ours, but we installed the exact set-up on Mr. Thomas' truck and filmed the process! Let us know if you have any trouble finding the parts you need! ruclips.net/video/DNYt8HHJ94s/видео.htmlsi=2wkGepoKc7aUj0NO

    I've been entertained by most of your videos up to this point. I don't quite understand if you're busting on EV owners or Bucee's for having all the hookups for them. Either way, you sound very uneducated with the comments about Tennessee and Texas. Full disclosure... I own a Chevy 2500 Diesel that pulls my Fifth Wheel and a Tesla for my milage heavy sales job. Just saying, there's room for all vehicles at the party, and a reason for everyone's choice in what they drive.

      It's all fun and games! But lets be real Buc-ees didn't put them there for the EV owners! They are there because he gets huge tax credits to install them! We have nothing against EV vehicles, but as you can see from the video there wasn't a line to use the chargers! Open road north america is not ready for this type of vehicle, it can work great in the city but not ideal for travel yet! I will come around when they build a vehicle that can tow with an acceptable range between recharges! Will it happen in my life time? Yes, but for now its just not there yet!

    You seem like great folks with gorgeous children, but blocking EV chargers is a No-No, regardless of if they are being used or not. If another rig pulled in and parked in front of the other charges, there would have been no place for a Tesla to charge.
    I say this as a RV’er who pulls a 36’ TT with a F250 and a Tesla owner, who has traveled across the country with both our RV and Tesla

    • @PavingNewPaths
      @PavingNewPaths  Год назад +1

      It is all in good fun! You can also see from the video that we prevented no EV from charging! I bet you also don't like when cars use the "only diesel pump" to fill up!

    • @gtibbot
      @gtibbot Год назад +1

      @@PavingNewPaths Yep, I know it was all in fun, just saying its still not right, EV charging spots are for EV's to charge, not for non EV's to park. If those would have been all handicap parking spaces that were not being used, would you have parked there?

    • @PavingNewPaths
      @PavingNewPaths  Год назад +1

      They don't put handicap parking spaces out by the road away from everyone, so no I wouldn't find myself with the choice of taking up those spaces! The difference is handicap spaces are actually getting used, where these charging stations not so much! Nothing against EV's but you're missing the bigger picture, Buc-ees only builds his places in the middle of nowhere between cities, him installing charging stations makes no sense as the stores are nowhere near a city! Likely he only installed them for tax credits for his business and also the reason they are always empty, EV's make sense in the city but no one is traveling across the country in one!

      Ha Ha! I let it rip at first and she got scared so I had to reel it back in! I don't think it was the speed but how rough it is when it shifts directions!
