Hi you two! To me, Pearl is a rockstar. 250 miles is my max for having enough energy left to enjoy a couple hours, dinner and walk the dogs. I notice me and the dogs do better overall that way. Can do one 350 mile day sometime during a long trip. Wish I could put my feet up on the dash in soft socks like you Bob!
Hi guys - sounds like another great summer. You are so blessed to have most of your family in the NW and Nevada. Your granddaughter is beautiful. Stay safe and keep rolling. 😊💕
Hi Janice, hope you and Larry are staying cool somewhere nice! We are having a pretty relaxing summer and are already starting to think about getting back to Yuma in a couple of months.
Glad you got to see the kids and great/grand kids. By myself with no rig I can drive 8 hours. When traveling with the camper and the wife/ dog 3/ 4 hours. We did do a 16 hour one when we were younger from FL to PA for no reason. Depends on traffic.
I think it's one of the best things about retirement, 1 hour or 12 hours it really doesn't matter since we are not on a schedule and can all go at our own pace and at our leisure. It is a great lifestyle isn't it.
Thanks Robert, we generally are pretty successful at following the weather and staying in sub 80 degree temperatures so the plan is to stick it out with the one AC unit until we get back home in October and try to find a solution then. Wish Us Luck in that gameplan LOL
Hi guys 😊. Seeing your video pop up, and the nice happy content is a welcome relief from the negative videos we see popping up on the web. Thanks!! And, happy safe travels for you and us all 🤗.
hello Gladys, thanks for your comment and we totally agree with you on the importance of family especially as we physically become removed from each others local. We totally enjoy this RV lifestyle and the many benefits it brings. Hope you are having a great day. Bob
Thanks for your thoughts and luckily it has been really nice temperatures and the one AC has been doing a great job so far. We are hoping to make it to Alaska in 2025 if our health and RV all remain in good condition.
Joe, Florida is a tough place to spend the summer but I understand your reasons and we are hoping your test all go smoothly and provide positive results. Your still welcome to join our little group next summer up into much cooler weather if you have a hankering to burn some gasoline. Look forward to our next Margaretta session around a campfire (with or without the rain)
I am with Pearl, 300-350 miles is our sweet spot, depending on conditions. We like to depart early, so we are normally setup by 3pm or so. Safe Travels!
Hi again, Bob and Pearl. As always, loved your video! Thanks for sharing your stories with us. We met you briefly last year when you were at Seaside TT. Perhaps we'll see you again when you pass back through there on your way back south.
Howdy Guys, we are definitely looking forward to getting back on the coast with that cooler weather and hope to enjoy it for several months and look forward to seeing ya again.
My wife and I lived in Caldwell Idaho at the Ambassador RV Park in our Tiffin Coach.. Our son and I are upland bird hunters and I’ve hunted the Owyhee’s many times.. You are correct, they are beautiful, and have some great bird hunting.. Enjoy your travels..!
My husband and his family lived in Caldwell most of his young life. We haven’t been back in many years. We no longer RV and are currently living in TN. I’m sure he’d love to see Caldwell again.
@@jeandecker4073 Hi Jean, I see Caldwell is right there and I envy your husband growing up in that area, it must have been awesome as a youngster growing up in that area.
I also like the 300 to 350 mile drive days. But tomorrow I’ve got one that is 450 miles so I will leave real early and try to make it an easy day. Enjoy your travels. So when are you gonna get your AC fixed Bob? As you know with an RV, you have to stay on top of things or they pile up pretty quick.
I go out every few weeks and go fire the A/C off and go sleep in my camper. It is 100 degrees here. I am not even loading it on the truck until it gets down in the 70s.
Wow Bob, don’t know how you guys are handling mid 80s in the rig. 😂We had our AC running when it was 75 inside during our little heat spell on the Coast. I was cooking at 75. I guess we’ve acclimated to the cooler coastal weather and don’t do good in heat anymore. Enjoy your family. Safe travels. I hear the crabbing is starting to get good. We’ll see.😊🦀
Hey Charles, I have to tell ya that I literally could not walk 10 feet without getting dizzy due to the 98 degree temps and setting up the campsite. I think it was like a minor heat stroke. Once we got the ONE air conditioner running along with tans I was alright but we definitely are not ready for Yuma summer time temps. I'm looking forward to our next crabbing session next Sept., so don't catch them all till we get back to the coast.
Hey Bob and Pearl, we have a 2008 Monaco Dynasty with probably the same AC units. We had two of our units also go out. I ordered the start capacitor and the run capacitor for both from Amazon and that got them running again. Hope this helps. let me know if you need the part numbers.
You are right on target, I had replaced the capacitors and circuit board on our rear AC unit several years ago and that fixed the problem. Our front unit blew out the Freon line last summer so it is junk probably but I do plan to rob its parts and hope to be able to repair the center unit when we get back to Yuma. My 1st line of defense is to simply stay in sub-80 degree weather and we are generally pretty good at that (but obviously don't always succeed). I appreciate your suggestions and information
Hi Bob and Pearl. Bob, if I have someone to drive my rig hundreds of miles a day, I would do it too. LOL I wish I were young, now closer to 70 then 69. Where did it go? Congrats to the new teachers. I put my starlink on pause the other day for the first time. I wish I would had done it 9 months ago. LOL My T-Mobile home internet just is so much faster and so far always works. Safe travels.
Hi Don, yup I am a very lucky man with not only a great wife but some great RV FRIENDS as well. Great call on the Starlink Pause as your T-Mobil seems to be doing a great job and I am sure you could have spent that $150 monthly on some fun stuff...
Hi guys. Looks like we just missed seeing you in Seaside. We checked out of that park on July 1st. We are in Mt Hood Village at this time. If by chance you are in the area let us know née can do a little Jeeping. Also, we have reservations at Pacific City. If you’re in that area let us know. We’d love to introduce you to the sand dunes. The dunes lead to an awesome beach.
Hi Wade, we will be back on the coast for a couple of months and would enjoy being introduced to the dunes with the jeep. Hopefully we will be able to get together for an afternoon of Jeeping while you are in the area.😶
@@wadenorton6752 That might work out for us, we will be in Seaside again the first week of August so we might drive down and take you up on your offer. We haven't stayed at Pacific City for several years but I didn't remember there being lots of sand dunes around or many vehicles driving on the beach (but we were driving the Lincoln and not looking for sand LOL). We can firm it up once you get there but if it works out we would love learning a bit about driving in the Sand and/or Beach from some experienced folks like you guys. Hope to see ya next month
Hello Pearl & Bob. I very much enjoyed your video. I guess I'll need to stop by more often. My little sister lives in Bend with her husband & their blended family of 2 girls & 2 boys. Hubby & I have an Airstream that we travel with our 5 pets in. It gets a bit claustrophobic with all our pets, so I consider it a weekend traveler's rig. The longest trip we've ever done away from home has been about 28 days before my husband starts getting home sick. We're always talking about doing a cross country & back, but haven't yet stepped up to the plate. We talk about joining TT to make CC travel easier, but haven't bit that bullet yet either. Any advice from seasoned travelers to semi traveler's to make traveling easier? Love you guys, safe travels
Glad you enjoyed the video, I am guessing 5 dogs is a hand full, Pearl and I have trouble just keeping our one puppy exercised and happy although it does insure we are out walking her several times a day getting a little exercise. I don't really have many suggestions on travel as we all do it so much differently. We are constantly discussing with Dave, Tom and Lori and a few others on the best way to travel and I don't think any of us have changed anything from those discussions. Thousand Trails is great for full timers and truly a financially no brainer but for part time travel the locations are often not where we might want to be and they are often a little run down so for part time RVing you really need to check the location of the campgrounds to see if they are where you want to be. For us, it still works great as there are numerous TT campgrounds on the Oregon and Washington coast where lots of our kids and grandkids live so we love it.

We agree and we love getting to Oregon and HWY 101

I love catching up with you guys. I love the fact that this life style allows you to visit family. There is so much value in that.

I’m always excited to get updates on your travel plans. Good to see you! I hope you find cool temperatures without having to go to Alaska.

I love seeing Pearl drive! You are a lucky man Bob! :o)
Hi Patty, and I totally agree with ya
How did you get her to drive? My wife says she will never drive.
Love seeing you guys spend time with family. Enjoy! Mid 90's herein FL every day and lucky if we get 78 overnight.

Ha ha I'm thinking about a 2.5 inch lift and 35 inch tires, I get the same look from angela when I talk about it.😅😅😅
Hi Lennie, Pearl has her look down pretty pat, but I haven't given up yet! I think you may have better luck with Angela 🙂
