We USED to store things in the sink on travel days. One time I had a gallon water jug in there I think. As we travelled on the bumpy interstate system I heard a change to the rattling in the back. At our next stop I found out our sink (looks just like yours) was no longer connected to the kitchen counter. The studs used to hold the sink had failed and the only think keeping the sink off the floor was the drain pipes. That was a significant do-it-yourself fix when we arrived in camp. New travel rule: nothing with any weight rides in the sink.
Thanks... FYI, all the rest areas in MS on that stretch of I-10 have overnight RV dry camping sites away from the cars and the trucks. You were only a couple of miles away from the Jackson County I-10 WB Welcome Center (yes, you would have had to loop over and back but it is only a couple miles). The others Rest Areas, both the East Bound and West Bound, have the sites. The Hancock County Welcome Center on the LA border (combo E & W) is particularly nice with a dozen pull-thru sites. All the RestAreas have Dump Stations as well and potable water when not freezing. Same for I-20 in MS as well.
Thanka for taking time today to take pics with us. Glad you spotted my hat. Jean yelled at me for not thanking Stacy for her service. My bad. Thank you Stacy for your service. Lou & Jean
Spending school vacations in my parents big rigs, the sound of trucks puts me to sleep! My mom hated hauling refrigerated commodities, it’s the “refers” you hear. It’s the large refrigeration unit on the front of the trailers that’s the noisiest.
Yes, we turn the propane off as well on travel days, albeit there has been a 'did you turn the propane off'...and a 'whoops' happened, so an unscheduled stop at the next rest stop takes care of it! I 'love' to get behind the wheel, often wondering what's around that next corner, and feel very comfortable with our '36 Phaeton & towed, and if there is a lot of mountain driving I can get a little tired, otherwise I have no problem on long driving days..so far 14 hours has been the longest on a trip home when Covid hit, but that's not our usual driving day. 7 - 10 hours is no problem though, as often we'll get up at 4:00 Am make coffee, and are on the road when we have a select destination several days away! Thanks for the 'Plan to Eat' app, as I'll show it to my wife once she gets back. We're currently at an RV Resort for an extended time, with a ton of things to keep us busy, thus why my wife isn't here. lol. Stay safe you two!
My wife and I are planning on getting an RV sometime during the next 6 months to a year. We are so excited to get put there and start RVing. We absolutely love to travel so we decided that RVing will be a great way to start seeing the country. We have been studying videos of many different RVers and their different styles. We will be in Tampa for the Florida RV show Friday and Saturday. Hopefully we'll see y'all there. God bless and safe travels
Not an owner of an RV. Still dreaming and researching, and motivated by you two. But have been folowing you two for quiet some time now, learning from your wisdom. Love all the tips and suggestions and the reasons. You are my Class A go to sourse for sure. Love your rig. Love all you two do to contribute to the RV community to make it a better place. Enjoy the time in Tampa, even though it will be a busy one for you. (Also for what you do as vets, for our vets. Appreciate your service)
Like you, with a big rig, we plan how far to daily drive, where we are staying the night, etc. However, in our itinerary (which is in Excel), there is a nightly camping location per day. When we reserve a location, I highlight in green each night of camping. Ones that can't be reserved because we can't book in their window yet remain yellow, until booked. Regardless of private park, HH, BDW, Boondocking each night is color coded. At a glance we can look at the itinerary and tell if we booked, need to book, etc. One stop shop as all info is in one place in our spreadsheet. Also, giving Alasks is in your future, would you like to see our 86 day itinerary for Alaska? We did it with 36' DP towing an F150. Loved Northwest Canada and Alaska!! Saw all 8 Alaska US National Parks on that journey.
Nice to see ya'll. You know your tips and process can help anyone traveling, with RV / trailer or not. A little planning makes traveling a lot easier and more pleasurable. I love ya'lls videos and hopefully can meet ya'll on the road one day. God bless ya'll and stay safe on your travels around the country. 👍👍
When you are at the show keep an eye out for Endless RVing and RV America Y'all and Our Journey In Myles. They are doing a meet up in the red barn Thurs-Jan 18-12:30pm-
I have a Garmin RV 770LMT. I usually plan my own route before hand and know where I’m going. Once however I was not familiar with where I was going and I had planned my own route but Garmin told me to a different route then I had planned to go. I decided to follow the Garmin instructions and it was almost a disaster. Narrow windy road NOT fit for a 42ft 5th wheel. I now always plan my route and if Garmin gives me a discrepancy I stop and double check before following the Garmin. So BEWARE. This occurred in Gilroy, CA heading to the Thousand Trails there
I just stumbled onto your site. I'm not an RV'er, but yall seem like a super cool couple, with some solid tips. I watch a channel You're New Zealand Family. They're trying to schedule an RV trip to the USA, I told them about your channel, if you see this, it would be super cool if you can reach out to them, I think you could help them out a lot and offer some great advice. Be well, and stay safe out there you two.
Hey kids!! Perfect timing! Crashing on my chair and catching up on videos! Just dropped my cable so this is all we have now…just to watch our friends! Jack and DeeDee! ❤️❤️
Hey guy, great video. Love the checklist. Question: my new rig has tire pressure monitoring already as it is a Ford F600 chassis. Should I also use TPMS to monitor temperature?
The next time you stop in Tallahassee make the effort to go to Ted's Montana Grill for lunch or dinner. I'll warn you though. It is so good you may never leave Tallahassee. Lol!!
I need a tire pressure system and saw yours. Nice large screen, also need it with 10 transmitters. You also talked about a repeater any information would be greatly appreciated.
Phil, What is the manufacturer of your double hitch receiver on Ruby. We are looking for one for our Class A for E-Bikes along with BlueOx. Also where did you purchase? Thank you for all the valuable content that you all share!
Our solar charges our lithium batteries that power the fridge. Before our solar, we used our onboard generator to recharge our batteries that ran the fridge.
Which Garmin do you have? My wife and I are heading to South Dakota this summer, and RV trip wizard hasn't been our favorite. We have been trying to figure out better options.
No. We have a meet up at the local Elks lodge for our Veteran fund raiser. Check out our website for info. We will be walking around the show every day.
Hello I just have one question as to parking with your vehicle hooked up. Is it possible to have someone in the car steering it as you back up so you can stay hooked up.
OMG I LOVE YALL!! Ive been OBSESSING over the RV Life these past couple days and cannot allow FEAR to hinder my growth!.. Single mom 2 kids.. Im like what all can happen?.. How can I prevent mess ups? GREAT VIDEO ! TY! LOOKS HELLA FUN!!

We learned NOT to do long drive days the hard way. Had 6 days to drive from Pensacola back to OR because we loved FL beaches. Never again! 😅😅

Awesome! Thank you!
Also Goggle how to check the date codes on your tires.
Just because it looks like there's lots of tread left, does not make them safe.
Great tip!! We talk about that very topic in a few blogs and videos.
My husband had one of them when he was working for R/L Carrier.
Thanks for bringing us along!
Have fun at the show. We'll planning on being there next year.
What a great team effort.

Phil you need to add sensors to the spare tires. That helps know they are ready for use.
Nice to see ya'll. You know your tips and process can help anyone traveling, with RV / trailer or not.

We ran into a couple of them already. Great folks!
I love watching yall. The videos are so informative and its good to get reminders of things we need or should be doing.
Enjoy the show. I have our tpms repeater wired into the clearance lights. We always travel with them on.
That's a great idea!
Great tips for RVing. Enjoy the Tampa RV Super Show!
Thank you! Will do!

So many different tools to use,there must be a 1 all in one app
I , Rick, ALWAYS have a pair of ear plugs in case of loud noises at night.
I just adore the anchor on your RV wall. I am former GM1 USCG. We escort the boomers to deep water. LOL
Thanks! I made it for Phils retirement and all of our friends signed it. It is definitely a cherish item!
We looked at Eliks but you need a friend to sponsor you!
Question for you;I noticed you have DV tags on your keep, but not on your Class A. Are you not allowed to have DV tags on the Class A?
Great tips! Have you found that your Garmin has been more accurate and dependable than the gps through RV Life/Trip Wizard?
We do not use the RV Life GPS, just the Garmin. RV life is used mainly for route planning.
Phil and Stacy. Stacy and Phil. Nice video.
Where can I find the recipe for that salad?
She just throws things together. She will drop it in discord sometime this week.
Hello! New friend here! Great informational video.
Liked and fully watched. You have a beautiful day! See you around.
Thank you! You too!
Does your solar run your refrigerator or how do you do that
Our solar charges our lithium batteries that power the fridge. Before our solar, we used our onboard generator to recharge our batteries that ran the fridge.
Which Garmin do you have? My wife and I are heading to South Dakota this summer, and RV trip wizard hasn't been our favorite. We have been trying to figure out better options.
We have the Garmin 890. You can find it here: technorv.com/collections/gps-navigation?Click=11774
@@todayissomeday Thank you very much!
What did the snowflake say to the other snowflakes at the party? “Lettuce snow and have a great time!” Wocka Wocka
Youre so pretty dear, you remind me of young jennifer aniston lol!
Yes she does! ;)
What is the dual hitch you are using? Like the fact you can move the blue ox in place with the bikes on the rack. Thanks
It is a RIgid, 10 inch dual rise/drop receiver.
Are you going to have meet up in the red barn?
No. We have a meet up at the local Elks lodge for our Veteran fund raiser. Check out our website for info. We will be walking around the show every day.
Hello I just have one question as to parking with your vehicle hooked up. Is it possible to have someone in the car steering it as you back up so you can stay hooked up.
@@KylesRV. Ok thanks.
Correect. Not recommended by Blue Ox. It would damage the tow bars.
Crying Eagle is good 🍺
Hey guys! A lot of endorsements (commercials)
We cut most of them. YT adds them.
What is your typical start/end drive time?
Normally, around 4 hours. It all really depends on where we are going and it we have to be there at a set time.
I can’t believe you didn’t stop at Buc-ees. You do know they have ice cream Phil….just saying
Yes, I do!! LOL
Dumb question here, what is the air hose to your car for?
Great question!! It is for the Air Force 1 braking system that is attached to the toad's brake pedal.
OK never heard of it before
Going to RV show ?
Yes, We are here now. Will you be attending?
@todayissomeday just been watching other RUclips there .
So. Many. Tabs. 😂
Yeah, it makes Phil crazy! Welcome to my life. So much going on! 😂
