On Friday October 15, my wife and I were driving south on the Blue Ridge Parkway and were about to get off the exit for Boone. As I slowed down to exit, I saw this beautiful women walking on the side of the road. As I approached her to be careful in my driving I realized who it was ! A few seconds later I saw you driving across the road to pick up your wife. It was fun to see you both on the Parkway and hope you had a good trip. I wanted to stop and say hi as my wife and I really enjoy your videos. We are from Raleigh and are in your generation as well. It is nice to see baby boomers out having fun. Cheers
Hey Owen, as you know I have watched a few of your videos and like I said when I first saw this video, I think this is the best camping spot you guys have ever been on. It was just beautiful to the eyes and magical to the ears. I’m afraid my viewership will be dropping off because I have realized that I have too much pain and my health has gotten worse to the point that my dream of traveling across Canada and into the US is just a dream, and will remain just that. I find myself getting depressed watching others live my dream. I wanted to thank you for all the wonderful videos I have watched. It has been fun. This is Frank from Ontario Canada sending love to all three of you. Stay blessed, healthy and safe. Cheers!!!
Frank (so that’s the F in F&T ❤️). There are many comments that make us smile. There are some that make us question why we’re doing this. And then there are others that bring tears to our eyes. It’s through those teary eyes that we’re replying to your comment. We have long since come to the realization that we too are getting older and we’ve referenced that many times when we talk about the chapters of our lives. We also find ourselves hurting and aching more than before and it’s much more difficult to push ourselves to go further. But, we also realize that many we love, who are both older and younger, struggle with health issues that push plans until later or even never. I totally understand getting depressed watching others do what you hope to do… we struggle with that too sometimes. We hate to hear that your declining health is causing changes to your dreams. If we don’t see you on here anymore you need to know you will be missed… very much missed. Not just by us… we see you commenting with your hallmark “Cheers!” on many of our friends channels. Hopefully you can drop in every now and then and let us know how you’re doing… or drop us a note at VanTrekkingLifestyle@gmail.com. And… we have dear friends who live in Hamilton, ON. We will be visiting with them during the next year and if that’s near you we’d love to grab lunch and maybe take you for a ride! :-). You have truly made us smile so many times with your comments and it’s those smiles we’ll remember as we think of you during the coming months. Here’s hoping your health improves. Much love from NC! Owen, Lynn and Maggie. PS… CHEERS TO YOU MY FRIEND!
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle God bless all three of you. Yes I will stop by now and then and if you are coming to Hamilton I would definitely love to meet you Utube Stars in person. I hope I am having a good day as well as my wife Terry and we will drive to Hamilton for a lunch with you. Thanks so much for the comment. I really appreciate it. You are one of the Utube content makers that spends time to comment and it’s meaningful. Take care guys. We will be in touch again.❤️🇨🇦❤️ Cheers!!!
Excellent video. No, seriously. You did a fantastic job. My wife and I are going with friends to Cape Lookout for the first time this September. Your video will be shared with all of them. Sort of a mandatory watchlist.
My senior life is like yours... every day is an adventure, on the move...I personally refuse to sit in a barcolounger and watch the news. Most of my adventure is from Northern Michigan to/from Alaska..5 legs so far Great advice my friends
We used to live near Beaufort, NC and in the summers worked for the Lookout Express, which was the speed boat that would take you out to Cape Lookout. That was back in 2010. Those were some great summers. It was sold and is no longer there, but your video brought back some nice memories. Stay safe.
What a great video, lots of stuff out there showing you how to visit the cape, this sets you up before the tires hit the sand. Can’t wait to get out there. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great vid! I have a '21 Revel and took it to a remote place in the AZ desert (White Pocket in Vermillion Cliffs). On a 5 mile stretch of deep sand road, my van on several occasions brought itself to a gentle stop. When I stepped on the gas pedal nothing happened...the engine didn't Rev up,, tires didn't spin, nothing! My van doesn't have traction control. I switched to 4Lo (from 4Hi), and gently pressed on the gas pedal. Nothing. Through trial and error I learned that I could push the accelerator to the floor, and the computer would take complete control of crawling out of the deep sand. As I slowly gained speed I backed off the accelerator. I am blown away at the tech Mercedes built into this van. I had Recovery boards, but never needed them.
Thanks to your videos and good advice we decided to take our Revel to Cape Lookout and camp on the water. Just got back home to Ithaca. Had a wonderful time and had no issues with the van getting around in soft sand. Appreciate your advice and recommendations. Keep it up!
Great tips Owen! Like the way you addressed all the aspects of this type of trip. I learned about sand driving the hard way at Cape Hatteras years ago. Totally clueless, I took my brand new truck out there in the summer of '06. Made it to the bottom of the ramp before getting stuck! Dug a little, and then managed to struggle over closer to the shore. Hey, the sand is sort of wet there so it should be harder, right? Wrong! Stuck again, and this time my 10 year old son helpfully chime's in from the back seat, "Hey Dad, should the waves be coming up that close?" Thank God for the good folks there on the beach who came running - they had me air down the tires to 14 lbs and helped dig us out just before the tide would have claimed my brand new truck. So yes Lynne, I completely understand! So glad you had a wonderful trip.
One of the best A-Z instructional video clips in RUclips! Do you think we can camp in the beach on Hatteras Island, too? If so, I don't have to spend a lot of money on Ferry taxing. I have never been OBX tho, I'm planning to go there in this Summer.
You guys are so good at giving instructions on how to do things. I for one appreciate it, lol this newbie needs the help. I always wanted to go camping on the beach, but scared to because I had no idea how to go about it. Keep the videos coming I enjoy them so much! You guys be safe out there, and have fun. Give Maggie a belly scratch for me.
Another great video! My comment on part 1 gave you ideas for this video? Cool! Knowledge is power! Great advice! I agree with everything you said. If I could add my 2 cents to further expand: those with the camper vans, keep in mind these can weigh between 8000-9000 lbs. (or more). If you get stuck: 1. even if u have a winch there is no place to winch to (unlike forests). 2. even if you find someone willing to pull you out they must have a vehicle capable of towing 9000lbs. Which is usually a super heavy duty full size truck with the bigger engines. How often will someone like that come around? Could be days. Also keep in mind it works the other way too. The Sprinter (with the V6 diesel) has a tow capacity of 5000 lbs. If another camper van asks you to pull them out you could potentially damage your chassis as it exceeds the tow capacity. Remember, towing capacity is assuming your on flat asphalt not stuck in sand. Most passenger vehicles are less than 5000 lbs. But camper vans built out, class C RVs, large pickups, etc. are more. You can look on the drivers side door jam, usually a sticker will say Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) tells you overall weight of vehicle.
Great video Owen and Lynn! Thank you for the tips. It looks so well worth enjoying the beach. Just to sit and camp out on the beach is a dream come true. Thank you so much Owen and Lynn. Hoke you have an enjoyable night and week and see you soon!
Ahh - the beach! I live a few miles from the barrier islands and the Gulf of Mexico beaches of South Texas. What I remember about beach camping was the never ending wind, the never ending roar of the waves and the sand that gets into everything; food; bed; clothes. So I've had my share of glorious days on the beach and I've taken me and my sunburn on home, not to return again - maybe.
Thank you for this video me and my family are planning on going down this summer you answered a lot of questions that I had ,that I could not find anywhere else
Great video! So excited for you to have done this...fantastic detailed instructions! Our Class C won't go there, but we hired a ferry for an afternoon over there about 25 years ago...an experience we'll never forget. Can't imagine spending a dark night out there. So much love to you, Lynn and Maggie.❤🙏Your friend from SC, Jane
We were pretty excited about this trip too, it was awesome. You can now rent a side by side for the day, it looks like it would be a lot of fun. Much love to you!
Mostly correct, but one point about tires. Big offroad tires with deep tread will hurt more than help. Regular street tires AIRED DOWN to 15-20 psi work best. The idea is to float on top of the sand, not dig in to it. Great video though with good info, thanks.
I’ve never camped on the beach, but we would drive on the beach at the Outer Banks as well as Assateague, so I have some experience with airing down, finding the appropriate rut, etc. Owen, you absolutely nailed this primer for those wanting to have this experience! Super well organized and thorough!
We are going to be newbies to the RV community when we receive our EKKO next month. We have found that your personalities, content and idea of adventures is right down our alley. We are also getting ready to retire and we are so happy we have you as a resource, you make us feel much more at ease about getting into our adventures. One thing I am not sure you have covered and is something we are very aware of is do you have any concern for safety and what do you do to feel comfortable? You go to a lot of remote areas that look spectacular, but we will certainly be a little hesitant to do that at first. Did you guys ever feel that same hesitation early on and if so what have you done to make feel better about it? Sorry if it is something you have covered. Keep on Trekking and informing! Thank you
Enjoy that neat bathroom setup in the Ekko. And all that storage in back. I'm planning on getting the Revel for the size and 4WD. Wish the Revel had that bathroom and storage! I'm jealous! When it comes to safety: always be aware of your surroundings, keep a couple cans of pepper spray within easy reach (for bears & people) trust your instincts if something doesn't feel right. Don't let paranoia get the better you and detract from your enjoyment of the outdoors and solitude. I've found most of the time I come across people in the middle of nowhere they're there for the same reason as I am: to get away from other people.😊 Have fun!
Thanks TW, your comment was spot on. Todd, congratulations on your EKKO, we are jealous too. As for boondocking it did take us some time to get comfortable with the aspect. There is an app IOVERLANDER that is very helpful to find spots and there is also comments that people leave that can help you feel comfortable or aware that you should not stay there. We have always felt comfortable staying at Cracker Barrel’s as they have a place for RV parking and there are usually other’s parking there also, which makes us feel safer, but we only do that for a quick nights sleep. We have found Forest Roads are another great way to boondock, there are usually unofficial campsites setup with fire rings also it’s a good idea to get there before dark and also have an alternate plan/place. Also, one of the things we do is we turn the seats around in the driving position before we go to bed so if we do need to leave we could quickly. I hope this helps, but as TW suggested just trust your gut.
I've been following you since your Travato days. ( I have a Travato KL). I love your content! I find your tips so helpful. Thank you.

Lots of ways to attach them. I started out with zip ties but eventually migrated to using these bolts that slide intro the rails and bolt through the max trax. amzn.to/3jEWRoP
Your videos are very informative and very nice but sometimes things that you need to get and do to do what you're doing require more money than a lot of people have. I am one of them it would be nice to see some average type videos I'm camping from you
Thanks for your input and I totally understand where you are coming from. It does cost a lot of money to acquire the items that make it safer to go off road in a 4x4. It has taken us a while to obtain all those items and believe me there are a lot more we could add. We feel that if we traveled to this area without those things we would be ill prepared and I’m quite sure many people would say we would be irresponsible. We do have a lot of videos where we go to state parks and forest roads that do not require anything more that your vehicle. We do appreciate your comment.

You just made my day. So glad you found value in the video. We hope you have a great trip to Cape Lookout.
Now this is what I call and informative RV video, the best. I may give it a try on cape cod.
Thanks, we are glad you found it informative.
One of your best videos so far.

Life is good when you are prepared for adventure on the beach . Interesting and well done on this video . Thank you for sharing this with me. BS & BK
We appreciate your comment. Thanks for watching.
WOW.. So much info that I needed to watch twice and take note's'. THANK'S
Glad to hear the information helped.
Wow, Owen! Looking spiffy w that new haircut! 😉 Very Informative, good job on this video!

OWEN You have moved onto an Ekko since you have been to lookout in a Sprinter chassis would you feel comfortable taking a Ekko to the island
I would!... but Lynn would not. We are at an impasse right now. 😂

Lots of ways to attach them. I started out with zip ties but eventually migrated to using these bolts that slide intro the rails and bolt through the max trax. amzn.to/3jEWRoP
