      many years ago we went on an epic road trip and sent a postcard from every sightseeing location to my dad. He kept them. After he passed away we found the postcards and looked over them with our kids-now in their 30s. fun to remember the trip from their point of view as kids with those notes we sent my dad. I would suggest the post cards and write your favorite memory from that day. In our digital day it is a quick tactile way to remember the best parts of a long trip.

    One of my favorite things about full timing, when Sunday hits, the majority of the campground empties out and remains that way until Thursday or Friday. The weekends are usually pretty packed and hectic but we generally use the weekends to travel to our next spots.

    Many years ago (circa late 80's), we began with collecting shot glasses, but soon learned that they need a lot of shelf/closet space to display/store. So, about 8 years ago, we switched to magnets and are so glad we did. Much easier and safer to pack while still traveling and easier to display once home -- I created framed magnet boards for them: one for US and Caribbean and another for the rest of the world.

    Magnets will eventually weigh you down. Post cards, if you write a brief note about your experience at the location AND put them in a dedicated box.
    I suggest stickers to place somewhere on the vehicle.
    Inside a cabinet door, outer access door.
    Alternative, piece of heavy clear film, cut to the interior size of a window. Place stickers on the film. Easy to display, take down when you want, keep if/when you have a new adventure vehicle.

    Another possibility for a collection are enamel pins. You can get a sheet of thick corkboard and stick them into it for display. Might work better even than magnets if you don't have a lot of ferrous metal surfaces to put them on.

  • @Wheezywatches
    @Wheezywatches 2 года назад +18

    You can bind the postcards into a book and write on the back where you’ve been. You can add a magnet panel somewhere to put the magnets but it does take up a lot of visual space. Personally, I’ve been doing postcards and stickers for when I go to national parks. Much lighter and less waste!

    Glad it’s cooling down for you. Must admit, had just a tiny bit anxiety wondering if one of might lean back in the chair on the roof, have it flip backwards, and off you tumble to the ground! Oh, we had a hot week in San Diego…up to 80F a couple of days…back to a more appropriate 72F today.

    Great to see Clementine performing A-okay for you. I also appreciate that you leave in the little snafus and keep it real. :) For thrifty souvenirs: you can select a pebble from each State and write on the State name and the date you arrived, and keep them in a jar. One thought: Any way to add a pop-up railing to your rooftop for safety?

  • @karifobar5687

    In the UK, those magnets are called 'Fridge Magnets' because they stick to the metal door face of the fridge, though any ferrous surface would do. I'd go with the magnets anyway.

  • @ALi-bn6bf
    @ALi-bn6bf 2 года назад +10

    Postcards are great and they store compactly if you keep them many years. They are also easy to scan if you need to part with them later. Limit magnets to 5 or 10 special ones that might fit on your fridge or somewhere else vertical. Limit shot glasses to two very special ones. They take up more space! Great video!

    Is that roof rated for load-bearing? I'd be worried about stressing it out and springing little leaks in the fall. Great film anyhow, you're certainly selling the RV lifestyle. I'm very impressed with how the rig is handling those mountain roads and Eureka looks like a lovely town to visit. The cocktail menu needs a bit of work!

    • @sheilaathay2034

      no matter what drinking on a roof without a railing, is dangerous.
      i have seen it go wrong for a pregnant woman that was not drunk, she dident know on leg from the chair was over the side when she sat down.
      if it can´t stand the weight, then it will probetly start to leek in the top, if you dont fall through the roof

    Just started watching your channel. You have very upbeat and welcoming personalities. Good work on the video as well. Having owned many RVs i would suggest at the very least that you glue down one piece of white rubber roofing material that covers the entire roof. It wont strengthen the roof structure but it will eliminate leaks that could be caused by walking or sitting on the roof. I have never had that system fail me. It completely eliminates the patching leaks battle that comes with older RVs. It flexes with the body. You could also glue wood on top of that to strengthen the roof deck for walking and sitting.

    Stickers are fun to collect. Magnets on the outside of your rig could fly off and hit someone else’s car on the drive and postcards might just end up in a photo book that takes up space.
    Could put stickers on anything or make
    A collage out of them. They’re cheap and you can find some pretty cool ones in every place you go!

  • @kevinfleming9919

    If you want a more comfortable rooftop without the weight of a wooden, or synthetic wood, deck you can do it 2 ways. 1: They make a stick on padding you can adhear straight to the roof (watch/get hold of Kara and Nate for what they stuck down to their roof deck to make it more comfortable to sit on), or 2: get a sheet of Alucobond (5mm aluminum composite sheeting, or called panel cladding) and screw it down to the roof to strengthen it and spread out your weight across a wider area. You can then put the stick on padding on top of it for a bit of cushion, or get a sheet of the composite panels with a woodgrain print (or whatever pattern/look you like) to make it kinda look like a wood surface. The Alucobond is 2 thin sheets of aluminum with a synthetic material sandwiched between them for strength and lightness and is used for large buildings siding and signage/billboards. The Alucobond only weighs about 7 pounds per square meter so it won't be heavy like a wooden deck!

    I am a magnet person! I always buy one in every city and country! Maybe buy a piece of funky metal and install it inside the rv. You don’t need to display all of them all the time. Maybe like top 15 and rotate them out. In the future if you ever get a forever home you can make a nice display of them all!

    I love getting post cards because you can easily put them in a scrapbook. Honestly I collect both plus key chains. Another cool option would be collecting a unique wine or other bottle from each state.

    I’m a magnet person! We’ve made a little magnetic wall above our kitchen counter to keep them all in one place/organized, but out in the open to look at and reminisce on. Post cards are nice and light, but take up more space (to keep on display for example), don’t last as long, because… paper lol, and just don’t look/feel as cool
