Two things have happened and you’re only on your third state! If this keeps up I don’t want to know what the camper will look like after the 50th state.
You are so lucky, I had a car stolen at Lowes, they had footage, and would not let me view the footage of the guy stealing my vehicle. Glad you guys came out ok.
I'll never forget our first and only Walmart sleepover. There were people making drug deals outside of our place at midnight. So much sketchyness, I could barely sleep. Never again.
Your daughter.....I couldn't take my eyes off of her!! The sweetest prettiest baby ever. In other words...I didn't understand a word you said. But the baby brightened my day.
Your little girl is absolutely gorgeous, I have great grandaughter's and a great grandson, FYI. Happy trails and stay safe, God bless you and your family with a fun filled adventure and safety!
You appear to have went to Airway Heights Walmart. Right around the corner is Northern Quest Casino. They will let you park for 2+weeks, they have security patrols.
My thought on accidents with insufficient or no insurance when it's a clear cut fault... You own the offending item. Yup. It's impounded by police, cited as fault and the offending party has 7 days to make good on the repairs caused by the accident. If not, the property becomes legal ownership of the other party. Can be forfeited to the police auction and the sale price, minus 25% for the police, is sent to the nonfaulted party. "But I need my car to go to work." No, you NEED to pay for the damages you incurred - and this is how you're doing it. No more "General" 50¢ insurance. Get coverage, be aware of your vehicle, take responsibility.
Reading all the crazy replies from people living in their bubbles. Way to go on truly living an adventurous life as a family. There is more than one way to live a happy life. Sending a ton of love your way and be safe.
Lived in cars busses and trailers for most of my childhood. Then became a trucker when I grew up. Seen some crazy stuff. This was tame. First time I saw your channel. Like it so far. Don't let people tell you to stop, and don't listen to those telling you to buy a house and get off the road. It's a great life, till you want to stop. When you want to put down roots then you put them down but not before. There is so much to see and do. You don't want to limit yourselves because others are cowards! Anyways hope You have the greatest time out there!!!!!
i have been to 47 states by myself and slept in my car. Arizona was cool, sedo na, AZ Mesa, AZ camping only $8.00 per night with showers. Key West, Florida 8 months i stayed there, showers outside on beach, went camping with tent $17. a night, youth hostel $20.00 a night. I was a able to cook there. When i was in Lake Charles, Louisanna and Sulfer, LA they had showers at a gas station for men and woman separate she gave me 30 tickets to take a shower everyday for $5.00. Showers at campgrounds i would stop in and they would charge $5.00 to take a shower. Also, in Minnesota a motel owner let me stay for $270.00 for a whole month. Old fashioned place but it had hot water, heater, cable TV, big room. Look in local newspapers for things when your traveling. Oklahoma, several people tried helping, i lived with a woman for $100. a week in a trailer park with my own bedroom. Austin, Texas they have free showers at a lake they have there from 5 am to 8 am you just drive in and it is free with hot water. I also went to YWCA for $20.00 a month for showers, hot tub, sauna, steamroom everyday. Campgrounds are free (premative camping) in Vermont. Arlington, Vermont Kelly Stand Road, free camping, bring RV or tent. Free camping in Honolulu, Hawaii, get 2 week pass a city hall for FREE camping at campground with showers/toilets.
I have never seen any of your videos before but this popped up on my feed. Just wanted to say your baby is so very adorable. She reminds me of my youngest who is now 8 when she was tiny. Enjoy that little one and your travels.
The youtube algorithm brought me here, I had never seen your channel. I had to keep watching because your sweet baby looks just like my youngest did at that age. What a sweet family you have!
Wow! Excited for this series! As somebody who lives from their van in Maine, I've got some pointers when you get out here! Walmarts tend to be not so RV and overnight parking friendly in the north east (they're few and hard to come by) BUT I've had a lot of good luck with Hannaford in cities (like Portland) and Shaws. We also have lots and lots and lots of parks and camp ground. I'm sure you'll hit the white mountains, and you can probably set up camp there (and that covers multiple states!) without any trouble. Happy travels!
Currently, have retired from RV life, cause of medical conditions/small retirement finances. Retirement funds have not met with the international financial index. SS Ins. is nothing, does not combat cost of living. Plus some genes, grow older faster; can not keep up with traveling. My favorite is a small TOY HAULER; because there's a lot of things you could do in the attached rear garage and if you don't get a fifth wheel toy hauler, just conventional toy hauler, you can always get a new TOW UNIT: ( Truck or SUV); not out a lot of money compared to the class A or Class C motorhomes. Any types of RV Trailers, is having a diversified RV portfolio. I ENJOY the garage portion, great protected garage- patio, plus some have bath tubs and frt kitchen in the floorplan. I hate galley kitchen, cause of traffic flow issues. Garage is great storage for toys, or thro in air mattress, great sleeping. Slide outs are okay, but just another problem, when least expected. Solar panels are must have, better then generator…. Class A Motorhomes okay if you're going to be mobile, & have lot of bank accounts for infinity of repairs. . They're very expensive to maintain/ operate, they have a lot of toys on them, so be ready for breakdowns, warranties are useless. Accessories are known to break break break… If you wreck them, Ins. are very poor to pay out!! Not many mechanics really know how to work on them, expensive $$ beast. Good mechanics are working in union auto garages, not RV garages. Diesels are smelly, both around the patio and smells lurk in to the units interiors. I ditched my diesel, could not stand the smell of diesel around the coach. Class C motorhomes are very mobile to get around, sleeper over the cab is a waste of time : either too hot or too cold for good sleeping and if your senior, it's very risky getting in and out of there. Plus if there's two people sleeping up there, the frame over the cab really can't support much activity. Class C is more affordable, less toys on them compared to the Class A & the upkeep is considerable less, plus USA parks are designed to fit class C, not class A. I would prefer a truck frame chassis with a trailer attached to it, because if you don't like the truck frame chassis, always get another one, just remove the trailer, get a new Chev /Ford truck frame, and attach the trailer on to the frame.. Engines are up front, so repairs are much easier/ cheaper, cause of being accessible. I have: Class A, Trailer and Truck camper. Truck / SUV are the only two of all of the above mentioned units, which have Lemon Law Protections. RV in general, carry no help from the courts and RV warranties, are collection of A-Z products and not insured by one manufacturer. My trailer is great for long length stays in the desert, Class A is okay, but expensive for interstate traveling and my camper has over 500,000 miles on it, as this is my weekend RV and gets a lot of usage. Wish my camper had a Murphy Bed, hate the over head sleeper and most of the time, sleep on floor. Store my units on my property and visit them daily. SIDEBAR: Ageing, lack of finances, is not our friend for RV’s and traveling. Remember, RV’s are not loved by everyone, there is equal love/ hate for RV’s, as many call us trailer trash. Many cultures invading USA are not warm/fussy towards RV’s. Stellar boon-docking is great, when traveling day to day. Prefer to pay to park and received full hookups and use the unit, which is was intended for: FULL HOOKUPS. Remember, there is no LEMON LAW to protect RV units, so off road n boon-dock with caution, as the units are built very fragile & not intended for moon terrain walking. Snow n freezing temps, are not RV best friend, no matter how they are rated, they have no LEMON LAW protection against severe low temps. Remember, over night fees for RV camping can be pricey, some are reaching $100 ( PLUS) per night and more and more are privately owned w/ annual membership by prescription. Point of Interest, no RV was designed to travel: Snow, freezing temps and day after day rain/wind storms. Extreme weather quickly takes years off of the RV coach, there were not built for this abuse. Here is a question for all RV owners: Do you advertise your bank account finances to the world? Reply: No!!!. So why advertise the cost of your RV to the world: via fancy paint jobs, luxury tow units, luxury tow boats, chrome everything/ anything. RV’s who advertise their wealth, are only advertising to the nation, I have arrived in wealth and heck with your thoughts. Flashy RV’s ruin lifestyles for everyone. Stellar & non-monochromatic downplayed units, fit in everywhere and are less offensive to the nation, which do not have RV’s. We live in a country of extreme biases. Less is really more, when traveling and exploring USA. littlefreelibrary.org/start/ I belong to this free library, allows me to pick up books for free, anywhere in the USA and return to any location. Every city has this and is free and better then internet books. I have spent days in parking lots, using Wifi for free, when many stores and restaurants provide it for free. Now the little library, allows for national library, where ever anyone travels for free. RV’s don’t need TV/ IT/when we have free books at our disposal. Remember, some books, government archived shows, you tube, news, etc. can be download from IT for free, providing 100 hrs of viewing, anytime, anywhere, without IT connections.
Sorry guys, that's a bummer. But at least you guys were not harmed. So that lady or whoever owns the rv should have it taken away and impounded. In England if you had no insurance, tax or a license you have your car taken and scrapped. Hopefully the next State is nicer for parking.
OMG! That little baby is SO precious! This popped up in my feed and I watched it and that little cutie looks so interested in what you were saying. She seems so calm and relaxed! I love how you guys are talking and telling the story and he is just rocking the baby and she is just relaxed and enjoying it. LOVE that!
Maybe it's because I'm European (UK) but I can't get my ahead around the fact that people in North America seem obsessed with sleeping in supermarket car parks. I have owned a motorhome/RV and am looking to purchase another one shortly but there is no way I would consider staying overnight in such a place. I understand the lifestyle of being on the road etc, but IMO parking in those places are no way a step up for the freedom lifestyle that so many similar people on YT keep going on about. However, I would understand if it was due to financial constraints.
I am also European but having travelled in the USA in an RV I can tell you its common practice to use such places and is for the most part perfectly safe. Travelling in the USA is a whole different ball game to travelling in Europe. Truck stops often have hook up, somewhere to deposit waste and access to water...We travelled around for nearly four months and loved it.... I aim to go back but this time in my own camper which we will freight over. Its costs the cost of flight tickets and we can go as well. We intend doing Alaska, Canada and the USA and if its safe (which we have to research first) we'll perhaps think about crossing the borders into Mexico. So much to see over there.
I understand it is common, didn't question the aspect of safety and I have been to the US on many occasions plus Canada and Mexico, many of which were road trips but not in RVs. My point is that sleeping overnight in a supermarket car park or truck stop is not my idea of a holiday or a positive change in lifestyle from a fixed abode. I understand if those decisions are made due to financial constraints but there are many RUclipsrs who drive around in $100,000+ RVs extolling the virtues of being on the road then stop in a supermarket car park or truck stop - and follow-up with videos about their neighbours' poor camping etiquette in such places!
the police (mostly retired or military reserves personnel) are staking out all the best property in the u.s. for themselves. that's what happens when the military dictates
Ya we normally don’t stay at parking lots but it was conveniently along the way and we could stock up on food & gas etc. Also we’re doing this trip not for the lifestyle but to inspire more adventure among families (see our other videos for reference) but went with an RV so our little girl could have a “home” as we go about every state in the US
Chenzo Travel Videos & More they are in an RV to travel and not sit in a camp site for days on end to use its facilities. They’re simply stop over places and why not? It’s free, they have access to groceries on their doorstep and so many do it, it is just like being in a campsite because the Rvs tend to stick together. We spent many a night sitting outside having dinner talking to our new neighbour for that evening. Just as good as any bay on a campsite and we saved ourselves thirty dollars a night on average. No stays for long and they move on to uh....travel!
Hi Jergys!!!! We have been full timing for almost two years and are just coming back off the road. We are in St Augustine FL (the oldest city in the US!!!!) LOTS of awesome things to do here... lots of history and an amazing city to explore and hide treasures!!!! Look us up if you head this way!!! Safe travels!!!!❤️🙏🙏
A LITTLE LATE BUT.... GLAD YOU AND THE BABY (NOW PROBABLY 18 YEAR OLD!!!!!!!) ARE OKAY!! GREAT POLICE OFFICERS.... KUDOS TO THEM FOR HELPING YOU!!! GOD BLESS AMERICA AMEN
The Jurgys yes! My bf and I have been investigating for 2 years next month. We call ourselves senior investigators haha. We live together so we can't get baptized but are working towards marriage. We were atheists before so it's been a long great journey. I actually got my mom to come meet the missionaries with me this week and we taught her the plan of salvation.
@@TheJurgys I cant believed yall replied this late bc I just got baptized!! It was amazing and yes so many blessings. Hope yall and baby Avalynn are doing great and having a safe adventure
Spent almost 25 years as an over the road trucker and one thing I can say for sure is that if you think you might be parked in a spot, even a designated parking space, where you could be hit then rest assured that someone will hit you. I kept my dash camera on for this reason. Seen trucks backed into and the perp tried to drive off to avoid getting into trouble. IMO there is not enough training with regards to larger vehicles. You can spend your whole life driving nothing larger than a sedan, never learn how to pull a trailer and then retire, go out and buy an RV that doesn't require a license other than the one you already have, thinking that you're good to go. Trust me, you're not. Men are the worst because we are convinced that hidden within the Y chromosome is all of the "masculine" knowledge that we'll ever need, just waiting for us to call on it. Same thing goes for trucks, they run them through a driver's training course, usually in house, which no matter how comprehensive really only teaches them the basics. Doesn't mean they're bad drivers, just inexperienced, then they put them with a trainer who likely only has a year or so behind the wheel themselves. Eventually turn the guy loose with a 53' trailer and tell him to go for it. In the minds of both the RV driver and the truck driver they really don't know how much they have to learn because of that inexperience and right now they are the best driver they've ever been. Years later they'll look back and wonder how they didn't kill someone.
I hope ya'll toughen up and get smart cause I see a great family being taken advantage of in the future if they don't toughen up. People are shitty now days, stay safe!
Glad you weren't hurt. Grab a Rand McNally Atlas that includes a listing of those Walmarts where you can stay overnight. Be careful, though, in which neighborhood you stay in. We stayed overnight at a Walmart in Delaware and were only too glad to leave the next a.m.
That was an unusually cool public servant. Great police work and should have mentioned the place and police dept or maybe I should watch the rest of the video.... It gives ya a little sigh of relief to that fact there are some real cops around yet.
i haven't looked into how to convert the AVI file too much. but windows media player should be able to play it and VLC should be able to convert it. if you are using VLC go to media > convert/save > add > AVI file > once added click on > convert/save > browse > select save location then select Profile and select a video format > start. this should work
To the Jurgy's You should look up Fresh Water Springs in whatever State your in because sometimes you can get Free Spring Water for Drinking. It comes right out of the Ground and sometimes thru a Pipe. They are maintained by the Forest Dept. But you do have to bring a Container.
Georgia ~~ We live in the North Georgia Mountains. Woods , streams and Lake Blueridge. We have land and a huge circular driveway that fits 3 big Rv. We also have a huge renovation old farmhouse that has lots of room. The only drawback is we have huge dogs that love everyone and they think they should be in your lap. There are so many things to do and we are 5 miles from North Carolina and 7 miles from Tennessee. That’s the truth, sound crazy 😜 but it’s awesome. I’m from Atlanta and my husband from Auburn and we moved here 14 years ago. Rafting and the Blueridge Scenic Railroad. Hiking. Biking and tubing, zip lines and so much more. It’s a three state trifecta.
The Walmart video needs a special codec to play. I don't remember which one for sure. I had to figure out how to get it to play for my Lawyer years back. (Edit: I really should have charged him for it. Helped him get a video for another case to play also. That one was dashcam from a police car pulling someone over for a drug bust.) I found it by doing some Googling. I could try to find the email with directions that I sent to my lawyer, but I'm not sure if it will still be in my email.
It's too bad their camper got hit, but something else happened. You've got a chance to show a good cop video for once, there are so many bad cop videos out there. good luck on your road trip it looks like a lot of fun.
Hah, randomly found this video, yeah that doesn't surprise me that happened, given you were in airway heights fricking tweakerville. Be careful out there especially with a baby. You guys seem like super cool people. 😊
when i was homeless i was going to park at a walmart one of the first nights,,, i didnt even get half through the night befor ei left wlamsrts are sketchy druggies and such wandering around all night no thanks. and just gotta say by the gods the wife is beautiful you are one lucky guy.
KUDOS on how Daddy rocks the baby, it reminds me of my husband when our kids were little. AND it's so important to have that contact with your children. I'M SO GLAD NOBODY WAS HURT. And a little bit jealous that I can't pick up and hit the road like you have. STAY SAFE...
Jurgys,, good stuff you stayed chill threw the hole thing, and it worked out, l got to learn some of that. As a couple you communicate so well with each other. Subscribed.
Download "Trucker Path" app... Select "Parking Availability" tab... Select "Wal-Mart" icon... It will show up red if full, yellow for some spots, green for lots of spots or gray if no data..click on icon to read user reviews of selected Wal-Mart (or truck stop or rest area etc of your choice)... Mostly for truckers, but u may find it useful
From Mississippi. Not sure what part of MS you plan to go to but if you come to south MS go to the Pascagoula river. It’s a wildlife management area. Real pretty
We lived there for seven months, air force...I do not know how people survive the humidity. Drink lots and lots of water, make sure baby is super hydrated. Humidity takes the lives of the elderly and infants pretty quickly if they're not properly hydrated and kept cool and comfortable. Heat stroke/exhaustion is really scary stuff. The humidity literally pulls the water right out your flesh. ✨It's suggested not to do high strenuous exercise in high humidity and to stay in around noon... I apologise if I'm repeating things you already know but that baby is tooooo cute not to say something, just in case. 🌸 Safe travels.
If you are in the Starkville/ Columbus area, you have to check out the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge. It is a hidden slice of Heaven in the middle of east Mississippi, so peaceful and beautiful that you won't want to leave.
I've seen a lot of strange things camping in Wal-Marts, but you're right, I would not have guessed that. I've seen Wal-Marts that looked like the Burning Man festival in the morning, and I've seen some that were nicer than most RV parks.
Glad nobody got hurt. Sheesh, so dangerous. I had something similar happen as I was about to get out of my parked truck. A trailer detached from its tow vehicle and lazily came at me, dragging the tongue. It stopped about six inches from my front bumper! Thank you God! LOL I helped the guy get it back on the hitch and attached properly WITH the tow chain this time.
Unauthorized Expression it was my bag of weed but you can have it if you look in the bushes to the right you will find a real cool pipe it's yours as well LOL.
Make sure you hit Baxter State Park, Mount Desert Island, the original L. L. Bean store in Freeport which is open 24 hours, and anything in Portland - the coolest little city in this country - all in my favorite state: MAINE! I lived and worked up and down the entire coast of Maine for 2 years as a traveling Operating Room Nurse. You'll love it.
You guys are so naive. I hope first of all you own a gun. Second of all, you don't need permission to film anyone (especially police) in a public place. And 3rd, yes you can stay at Wal-Mart parking lots but there is a cost to everything whether it's "free" or not. It's also a really horrible idea to advertise to the world who you are on the side of of your RV. You are inviting people to rob you. What you are doing is super cool but for God's sake, take some basic measures to protect yourself.
They do need permission from people in the video only in the RUclips world. Privacy clause about filming others without their permission a friend almost got her channel removed for posting footage of someone who didn’t know they were being filmed. Can you believe that?!! So many compilations and stuff on here and they decided to threaten her. Glad you all are okay.
Excited for your upcoming videos! :D we just bought a pop up camper and are renovating it, travelling Canada one day but local Ontario trips right now! Defiantly subbed :)
You look super tired in this. Super crazy stuff there. I'm glad everyone is ok and that the cops were so cool about it. That is the last place you want to be hit.
Hey, sorry about the accident. Wanted to tell you that the Walmart, exit 105 off of I 64, Corydon Indiana is a good place to park for the Night. Stay safe and Blessings for your family.
My parents RV was parked in our driveway, which shared a boundary with the local fire deptartment. The cellar savers backed a fire truck in to the drivers side of the RV, right where shore power plugged in. I was asleep in the motorhome, got knocked out of the bunk by the collision, ( it was the middle of the night). Fire dept tried to deny it was their fault. So i fully understand your WTF is going on exasperation. Stay safe
PLEASE come to Chandler, Arizona I’m moving there next week and it would mean the world to me if I could meet you or even just find a treasure Chandler is a suburb off of Phoenix and it’s about 25 minutes away but there’s a lot of great canyon hiking and beautiful scenery and i hope you can come and visit my new home
I use Army corps lakes to park when i travel in the winter they normally only have one camp grround open. Average is 18 dollars a night ffor seniors it 9 dollars a night. And they are patrolled every few hour's.

Two things have happened and you’re only on your third state! If this keeps up I don’t want to know what the camper will look like after the 50th state.
😂 just getting all the bumps out at the beginning (hopefully)
The Jurgys as a homeless man rest stops upon the truck zones along the highway are your safest bet!!!
Might be a recreation of Robin Williams' "RV"!
We blew all three tires on the passenger side of our trailer about eight hours into our trip, it made for a great story. That’s how RVing goes.
I'd assume that, during their drive to the 50th state, a flooded engine would happen. Mmmmmmm, salty!
You are so lucky, I had a car stolen at Lowes, they had footage, and would not let me view the footage of the guy stealing my vehicle. Glad you guys came out ok.
I see a lot of negative comments, but I think what you guys are doing is great! We have been full timing for over 3 years and love it! Blessings!
I'll never forget our first and only Walmart sleepover. There were people making drug deals outside of our place at midnight. So much sketchyness, I could barely sleep. Never again.
Thank God for this cop. I'm so glad there are still cops like him.
That cop was amazing. He tried to get you the footage. Thanks for sharing.
Your daughter.....I couldn't take my eyes off of her!! The sweetest prettiest baby ever. In other words...I didn't understand a word you said. But the baby brightened my day.
What I love about this video is the fact that you're holding your lil girl the whole time and she's just so content in daddy's arms.
Sorry, I was too distracted by your quiet little angel.
Not one peep could be heard. Now that's a good baby.🤓
ALWAYS call 911. You need that police report for any insurance claims. mad props to the cop.
Your little girl is absolutely gorgeous, I have great grandaughter's and a great grandson, FYI. Happy trails and stay safe, God bless you and your family with a fun filled adventure and safety!
You appear to have went to Airway Heights Walmart. Right around the corner is Northern Quest Casino. They will let you park for 2+weeks, they have security patrols.
Now that's a nice cop, need more like him
I used to work late nights at Wal-mart, their parking lots are always so freaky at night!! Glad you guys weren't hurt!
Van safety is important. We've had experiences too many years traveling. There a bad people everywhere right now, glad good people share on RUclips.
I'm having a hard time listening to your story because your sweet baby loves her Daddy's hand! ❤️
So glad none of you were hurt! Praying for traveling Grace and a hedge of protection!
My thought on accidents with insufficient or no insurance when it's a clear cut fault...
You own the offending item.
Yup.
It's impounded by police, cited as fault and the offending party has 7 days to make good on the repairs caused by the accident.
If not, the property becomes legal ownership of the other party.
Can be forfeited to the police auction and the sale price, minus 25% for the police, is sent to the nonfaulted party.
"But I need my car to go to work."
No, you NEED to pay for the damages you incurred - and this is how you're doing it.
No more "General" 50¢ insurance.
Get coverage, be aware of your vehicle, take responsibility.
Those cops were awesome!!!! Shout out!
Reading all the crazy replies from people living in their bubbles. Way to go on truly living an adventurous life as a family. There is more than one way to live a happy life. Sending a ton of love your way and be safe.
Stay safe guys. I'm glad the police were cool
Awesome police officer! He's living the motto "to serve and protect". Glad you and the kiddo did not get hurt!
Serious! We need more like him
Good times, learned a valuable lesson here eh? Park in a defensible location away from broken down junky stuff.
👍🏼👍🏼
Or at least park uphill. Old trailers roll down hill. Glad you're all OK.
Lived in cars busses and trailers for most of my childhood. Then became a trucker when I grew up. Seen some crazy stuff. This was tame. First time I saw your channel. Like it so far.

Nothing good ever happens at Walmart.
I have never seen any of your videos before but this popped up on my feed. Just wanted to say your baby is so very adorable. She reminds me of my youngest who is now 8 when she was tiny. Enjoy that little one and your travels.
Wow that was crazy!! I'm glad everyone is / was okay!!! And I loved the " The next time on The Jurgys" at the end. Like a tv show🤣🤣🤣
Brittany & Nicholas Oubre Just trying to keep things exciting 😆
The youtube algorithm brought me here, I had never seen your channel. I had to keep watching because your sweet baby looks just like my youngest did at that age. What a sweet family you have!

Currently, have retired from RV life, cause of medical conditions/small retirement finances. Retirement funds have not met with the international financial index. SS Ins. is nothing, does not combat cost of living. Plus some genes, grow older faster; can not keep up with traveling.
My favorite is a small TOY HAULER; because there's a lot of things you could do in the attached rear garage and if you don't get a fifth wheel toy hauler, just conventional toy hauler, you can always get a new TOW UNIT: ( Truck or SUV); not out a lot of money compared to the class A or Class C motorhomes. Any types of RV Trailers, is having a diversified RV portfolio. I ENJOY the garage portion, great protected garage- patio, plus some have bath tubs and frt kitchen in the floorplan. I hate galley kitchen, cause of traffic flow issues. Garage is great storage for toys, or thro in air mattress, great sleeping. Slide outs are okay, but just another problem, when least expected. Solar panels are must have, better then generator….
Class A Motorhomes okay if you're going to be mobile, & have lot of bank accounts for infinity of repairs. . They're very expensive to maintain/ operate, they have a lot of toys on them, so be ready for breakdowns, warranties are useless. Accessories are known to break break break… If you wreck them, Ins. are very poor to pay out!! Not many mechanics really know how to work on them, expensive $$ beast. Good mechanics are working in union auto garages, not RV garages. Diesels are smelly, both around the patio and smells lurk in to the units interiors. I ditched my diesel, could not stand the smell of diesel around the coach.
Class C motorhomes are very mobile to get around, sleeper over the cab is a waste of time : either too hot or too cold for good sleeping and if your senior, it's very risky getting in and out of there. Plus if there's two people sleeping up there, the frame over the cab really can't support much activity. Class C is more affordable, less toys on them compared to the Class A & the upkeep is considerable less, plus USA parks are designed to fit class C, not class A.
I would prefer a truck frame chassis with a trailer attached to it, because if you don't like the truck frame chassis, always get another one, just remove the trailer, get a new Chev /Ford truck frame, and attach the trailer on to the frame.. Engines are up front, so repairs are much easier/ cheaper, cause of being accessible.
I have: Class A, Trailer and Truck camper. Truck / SUV are the only two of all of the above mentioned units, which have Lemon Law Protections. RV in general, carry no help from the courts and RV warranties, are collection of A-Z products and not insured by one manufacturer. My trailer is great for long length stays in the desert, Class A is okay, but expensive for interstate traveling and my camper has over 500,000 miles on it, as this is my weekend RV and gets a lot of usage. Wish my camper had a Murphy Bed, hate the over head sleeper and most of the time, sleep on floor. Store my units on my property and visit them daily.
SIDEBAR: Ageing, lack of finances, is not our friend for RV’s and traveling. Remember, RV’s are not loved by everyone, there is equal love/ hate for RV’s, as many call us trailer trash. Many cultures invading USA are not warm/fussy towards RV’s.
Stellar boon-docking is great, when traveling day to day. Prefer to pay to park and received full hookups and use the unit, which is was intended for: FULL HOOKUPS. Remember, there is no LEMON LAW to protect RV units, so off road n boon-dock with caution, as the units are built very fragile & not intended for moon terrain walking. Snow n freezing temps, are not RV best friend, no matter how they are rated, they have no LEMON LAW protection against severe low temps. Remember, over night fees for RV camping can be pricey, some are reaching $100 ( PLUS) per night and more and more are privately owned w/ annual membership by prescription.
Point of Interest, no RV was designed to travel: Snow, freezing temps and day after day rain/wind storms. Extreme weather quickly takes years off of the RV coach, there were not built for this abuse.
Here is a question for all RV owners: Do you advertise your bank account finances to the world? Reply: No!!!. So why advertise the cost of your RV to the world: via fancy paint jobs, luxury tow units, luxury tow boats, chrome everything/ anything. RV’s who advertise their wealth, are only advertising to the nation, I have arrived in wealth and heck with your thoughts. Flashy RV’s ruin lifestyles for everyone. Stellar & non-monochromatic downplayed units, fit in everywhere and are less offensive to the nation, which do not have RV’s. We live in a country of extreme biases. Less is really more, when traveling and exploring USA.
littlefreelibrary.org/start/
I belong to this free library, allows me to pick up books for free, anywhere in the USA and return to any location. Every city has this and is free and better then internet books. I have spent days in parking lots, using Wifi for free, when many stores and restaurants provide it for free. Now the little library, allows for national library, where ever anyone travels for free. RV’s don’t need TV/ IT/when we have free books at our disposal. Remember, some books, government archived shows, you tube, news, etc. can be download from IT for free, providing 100 hrs of viewing, anytime, anywhere, without IT connections.
Yes, wives know things. Listen to them. I am sorry that happened to you. Your baby is the cutest. Glad that you are all safe. Leslye
No matter how much you plan..... Nicest officer I've seen lately. Good story. Hope you got compensated!
Sorry guys, that's a bummer. But at least you guys were not harmed. So that lady or whoever owns the rv should have it taken away and impounded. In England if you had no insurance, tax or a license you have your car taken and scrapped. Hopefully the next State is nicer for parking.
We actually woke up to the trailer gone so not sure if it was towed or they moved it again. Ya hopefully it’ll be nicer haha
Put a lock on their hitch
England sucks.
tisiluca
Maybe, but at least we don't take it up the arse like you.
big john Who are you kidding? You guys invented that, perfected it and exported it throughout the empire.
OMG! That little baby is SO precious! This popped up in my feed and I watched it and that little cutie looks so interested in what you were saying. She seems so calm and relaxed! I love how you guys are talking and telling the story and he is just rocking the baby and she is just relaxed and enjoying it. LOVE that!
Maybe it's because I'm European (UK) but I can't get my ahead around the fact that people in North America seem obsessed with sleeping in supermarket car parks. I have owned a motorhome/RV and am looking to purchase another one shortly but there is no way I would consider staying overnight in such a place. I understand the lifestyle of being on the road etc, but IMO parking in those places are no way a step up for the freedom lifestyle that so many similar people on YT keep going on about. However, I would understand if it was due to financial constraints.
I am also European but having travelled in the USA in an RV I can tell you its common practice to use such places and is for the most part perfectly safe. Travelling in the USA is a whole different ball game to travelling in Europe. Truck stops often have hook up, somewhere to deposit waste and access to water...We travelled around for nearly four months and loved it.... I aim to go back but this time in my own camper which we will freight over. Its costs the cost of flight tickets and we can go as well. We intend doing Alaska, Canada and the USA and if its safe (which we have to research first) we'll perhaps think about crossing the borders into Mexico. So much to see over there.
I understand it is common, didn't question the aspect of safety and I have been to the US on many occasions plus Canada and Mexico, many of which were road trips but not in RVs. My point is that sleeping overnight in a supermarket car park or truck stop is not my idea of a holiday or a positive change in lifestyle from a fixed abode. I understand if those decisions are made due to financial constraints but there are many RUclipsrs who drive around in $100,000+ RVs extolling the virtues of being on the road then stop in a supermarket car park or truck stop - and follow-up with videos about their neighbours' poor camping etiquette in such places!
the police (mostly retired or military reserves personnel) are staking out all the best property in the u.s. for themselves. that's what happens when the military dictates
Ya we normally don’t stay at parking lots but it was conveniently along the way and we could stock up on food & gas etc. Also we’re doing this trip not for the lifestyle but to inspire more adventure among families (see our other videos for reference) but went with an RV so our little girl could have a “home” as we go about every state in the US
Chenzo Travel Videos & More they are in an RV to travel and not sit in a camp site for days on end to use its facilities. They’re simply stop over places and why not? It’s free, they have access to groceries on their doorstep and so many do it, it is just like being in a campsite because the Rvs tend to stick together. We spent many a night sitting outside having dinner talking to our new neighbour for that evening. Just as good as any bay on a campsite and we saved ourselves thirty dollars a night on average. No stays for long and they move on to uh....travel!
The thumbnail looked like you were pulling a camper with a rv. 👏 genius.
Glad you guys are ok!! Loved the part..”we have a baby!!” 😂😂😂
Haha mama bear came out 😂
Hi Jergys!!!! We have been full timing for almost two years and are just coming back off the road. We are in St Augustine FL (the oldest city in the US!!!!) LOTS of awesome things to do here... lots of history and an amazing city to explore and hide treasures!!!! Look us up if you head this way!!! Safe travels!!!!❤️🙏🙏
Early!!! Much love from Alabama!! Can’t wait for y’all to come here!!! Y’all are the best RUclipsrs ever!!♥️💕♥️💕
Olivia M thanks Olivia! We’re excited for Alabama!
The Jurgys OH MY WORD I DIDNT THINK YOU WOULD REPLY!!!! Tysm for liking!! ♥️💕
A LITTLE LATE BUT.... GLAD YOU AND THE BABY (NOW PROBABLY 18 YEAR OLD!!!!!!!) ARE OKAY!!
GREAT POLICE OFFICERS.... KUDOS TO THEM FOR HELPING YOU!!!
GOD BLESS AMERICA
AMEN
Man cops can be so cool. Glad y'all are okay, I just had a lesson with the elders about recognizing the holy ghost lol
Are you going through the lessons now?!!
The Jurgys yes! My bf and I have been investigating for 2 years next month. We call ourselves senior investigators haha. We live together so we can't get baptized but are working towards marriage. We were atheists before so it's been a long great journey. I actually got my mom to come meet the missionaries with me this week and we taught her the plan of salvation.
This is so awesome! Hey it's all about your relationship with God so go at your pace. But so many blessings waiting for you!!
@@TheJurgys I cant believed yall replied this late bc I just got baptized!! It was amazing and yes so many blessings. Hope yall and baby Avalynn are doing great and having a safe adventure
Lilly Newsom this is the best ever 🙌
Spent almost 25 years as an over the road trucker and one thing I can say for sure is that if you think you might be parked in a spot, even a designated parking space, where you could be hit then rest assured that someone will hit you. I kept my dash camera on for this reason. Seen trucks backed into and the perp tried to drive off to avoid getting into trouble. IMO there is not enough training with regards to larger vehicles. You can spend your whole life driving nothing larger than a sedan, never learn how to pull a trailer and then retire, go out and buy an RV that doesn't require a license other than the one you already have, thinking that you're good to go. Trust me, you're not. Men are the worst because we are convinced that hidden within the Y chromosome is all of the "masculine" knowledge that we'll ever need, just waiting for us to call on it. Same thing goes for trucks, they run them through a driver's training course, usually in house, which no matter how comprehensive really only teaches them the basics. Doesn't mean they're bad drivers, just inexperienced, then they put them with a trainer who likely only has a year or so behind the wheel themselves. Eventually turn the guy loose with a 53' trailer and tell him to go for it. In the minds of both the RV driver and the truck driver they really don't know how much they have to learn because of that inexperience and right now they are the best driver they've ever been. Years later they'll look back and wonder how they didn't kill someone.
The most difficult part of this story......
Is finding a reputable company to make the repairs!
I hope ya'll toughen up and get smart cause I see a great family being taken advantage of in the future if they don't toughen up. People are shitty now days, stay safe!
Can't believe this stuff happens it makes me happy to live in Denmark now 😂😂
You folks have such a nice motorhome, I would have cried. ! But no one is hurt and that is the good part.
Thank God no one was hurt.. officer seemed like a pretty cool dude!
Glad you weren't hurt. Grab a Rand McNally Atlas that includes a listing of those Walmarts where you can stay overnight. Be careful, though, in which neighborhood you stay in. We stayed overnight at a Walmart in Delaware and were only too glad to leave the next a.m.
Wish you would have shown the damage. Glad you 3 are ok. :)
Thank you, appreciate the concern!! It wasn’t too awful but we did have to patch it up
That was an unusually cool public servant. Great police work and should have mentioned the place and police dept or maybe I should watch the rest of the video.... It gives ya a little sigh of relief to that fact there are some real cops around yet.
i haven't looked into how to convert the AVI file too much. but windows media player should be able to play it and VLC should be able to convert it. if you are using VLC go to media > convert/save > add > AVI file > once added click on > convert/save > browse > select save location then select Profile and select a video format > start. this should work

I can attest to the fact that I definitely felt vulnerable living in my tiny RV. I did it for 1 year but thankfully never had a scary situation.
Listen to your female intuition- it's usually spot on. Glad y'all are ok.
What a blast! It is all an adventure and years of great stories. Too bad about the bums ruining things for us in Walmart though.
Don't lose heart., RV living is a great way to go if you a home-body it's amazing. God bless your young family. God is good and Jesus is Savior.
Thank you!! This picked up our spirits!
To the Jurgy's You should look up Fresh Water Springs in whatever State your in because sometimes you can get Free Spring Water for Drinking. It comes right out of the Ground and sometimes thru a Pipe. They are maintained by the Forest Dept. But you do have to bring a Container.
Georgia ~~ We live in the North Georgia Mountains.
Woods , streams and Lake Blueridge.
We have land and a huge circular driveway that fits 3 big Rv.
We also have a huge renovation old farmhouse that has lots of room.
The only drawback is we have huge dogs that love everyone and they think they should be in your lap.
There are so many things to do and we are 5 miles from North Carolina and 7 miles from Tennessee.
That’s the truth, sound crazy 😜 but it’s awesome.
I’m from Atlanta and my husband from Auburn and we moved here 14 years ago.
Rafting and the Blueridge Scenic Railroad.
Hiking. Biking and tubing, zip lines and so much more.
It’s a three state trifecta.
What point was your post meant to make?
Can’t wait till you get to Florida. I will Leave the light on For you. God be with you and have a safe trip
The Walmart video needs a special codec to play. I don't remember which one for sure. I had to figure out how to get it to play for my Lawyer years back. (Edit: I really should have charged him for it. Helped him get a video for another case to play also. That one was dashcam from a police car pulling someone over for a drug bust.) I found it by doing some Googling.
I could try to find the email with directions that I sent to my lawyer, but I'm not sure if it will still be in my email.
Caddy Guy is right about the codec.
It's too bad their camper got hit, but something else happened. You've got a chance to show a good cop video for once, there are so many bad cop videos out there. good luck on your road trip it looks like a lot of fun.
Hah, randomly found this video, yeah that doesn't surprise me that happened, given you were in airway heights fricking tweakerville. Be careful out there especially with a baby. You guys seem like super cool people. 😊
What good cop. We need more good guys like him in that profession more.
Amen 🙏🏼🙏🏼
when i was homeless i was going to park at a walmart one of the first nights,,, i didnt even get half through the night befor ei left wlamsrts are sketchy druggies and such wandering around all night no thanks. and just gotta say by the gods the wife is beautiful you are one lucky guy.
It's always fun to find a new channel, less fun when it sucks
Come to Missouri. South central Missouri has some of the most beautiful creeks, streams, springs, and lakes. Ozark county!
Yassssss!
KUDOS on how Daddy rocks the baby, it reminds me of my husband when our kids were little. AND it's so important to have that contact with your children. I'M SO GLAD NOBODY WAS HURT. And a little bit jealous that I can't pick up and hit the road like you have. STAY SAFE...
Jurgys,, good stuff you stayed chill threw the hole thing, and it worked out, l got to learn some of that. As a couple you communicate so well with each other. Subscribed.
Walmart and Interstate Rest Areas. RAs are free and usually have police patrols.
When I have been driving for 12 or 14 hours, they are the bomb!
"What can happen, will happen"
Haha how true that is
Download "Trucker Path" app... Select "Parking Availability" tab...
Select "Wal-Mart" icon...
It will show up red if full, yellow for some spots, green for lots of spots or gray if no data..click on icon to read user reviews of selected Wal-Mart (or truck stop or rest area etc of your choice)... Mostly for truckers, but u may find it useful
All 50 states? How are you gonna get to Hawaii?
Pontoons...
So sorry that happened to you but very glad no one was hurt. You handled it well :)
From Mississippi. Not sure what part of MS you plan to go to but if you come to south MS go to the Pascagoula river. It’s a wildlife management area. Real pretty
I live in North Mississippi and agree with Josie. Anywhere along the coast would be great.
We lived there for seven months, air force...I do not know how people survive the humidity. Drink lots and lots of water, make sure baby is super hydrated. Humidity takes the lives of the elderly and infants pretty quickly if they're not properly hydrated and kept cool and comfortable. Heat stroke/exhaustion is really scary stuff. The humidity literally pulls the water right out your flesh. ✨It's suggested not to do high strenuous exercise in high humidity and to stay in around noon... I apologise if I'm repeating things you already know but that baby is tooooo cute not to say something, just in case. 🌸 Safe travels.
If you are in the Starkville/ Columbus area, you have to check out the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge. It is a hidden slice of Heaven in the middle of east Mississippi, so peaceful and beautiful that you won't want to leave.
watched many sunsets at Bluff Lake and the other lake just south of it back in the early 90's while at MSU. `````
“Wildlife Management Area” - are you taking about Wal-Mart parking lots?
There are several things to do in Denver. Botanical Gardens, Wings Over the Rockies Air/Space museum, 16th Street Mall etc.
Great way to handle the RV attack !
Georgia here in the mountains. You can park in our yard and have access to beautiful waterfalls and hiking trails . We are jeepers.
Crazy! Just found you guys! Can’t wait to follow along!
I've seen a lot of strange things camping in Wal-Marts, but you're right, I would not have guessed that. I've seen Wal-Marts that looked like the Burning Man festival in the morning, and I've seen some that were nicer than most RV parks.
Early squad love squad stay positive
yes!! Man so lucky it wasn't worse!
Glad nobody got hurt. Sheesh, so dangerous. I had something similar happen as I was about to get out of my parked truck. A trailer detached from its tow vehicle and lazily came at me, dragging the tongue. It stopped about six inches from my front bumper! Thank you God! LOL I helped the guy get it back on the hitch and attached properly WITH the tow chain this time.
I found a bag of really good weed at Walmart a couple months ago. Was that one of the treasures? lol
Haha not one of ours
Seriously good for you.... I have found a bag of weed before but it was crap...
Unauthorized Expression it was my bag of weed but you can have it if you look in the bushes to the right you will find a real cool pipe it's yours as well LOL.
Unauthorized Expression it was probably mine I’m always losing and finding my baggies of weed 🤣😂
It was probably left behind by the people who hit their R.V.
Make sure you hit Baxter State Park, Mount Desert Island, the original L. L. Bean store in Freeport which is open 24 hours, and anything in Portland - the coolest little city in this country - all in my favorite state: MAINE! I lived and worked up and down the entire coast of Maine for 2 years as a traveling Operating Room Nurse. You'll love it.
You guys are so naive. I hope first of all you own a gun. Second of all, you don't need permission to film anyone (especially police) in a public place. And 3rd, yes you can stay at Wal-Mart parking lots but there is a cost to everything whether it's "free" or not. It's also a really horrible idea to advertise to the world who you are on the side of of your RV. You are inviting people to rob you. What you are doing is super cool but for God's sake, take some basic measures to protect yourself.
Nun Ya Yeah, I agree........the name on the side of the RV is super dumb.
Nun Ya Nun Ya good point
yes, they need a protection dog and a firearm for sure.
They do need permission from people in the video only in the RUclips world. Privacy clause about filming others without their permission a friend almost got her channel removed for posting footage of someone who didn’t know they were being filmed. Can you believe that?!! So many compilations and stuff on here and they decided to threaten her. Glad you all are okay.
That does not apply to police officers. They're public servants, and can be recorded
Excited for your upcoming videos! :D we just bought a pop up camper and are renovating it, travelling Canada one day but local Ontario trips right now! Defiantly subbed :)
God bless you guys were all safe, Sounds like you guys are having an awesome adventure though. I sub'ed.
I'm glad you guys are okay. Come to Tucson, AZ in February! We have lots of fun things to do and the weather is beautiful.
You look super tired in this. Super crazy stuff there. I'm glad everyone is ok and that the cops were so cool about it. That is the last place you want to be hit.
Super exhausted ha. It did make the experience better with having such personable and helpful police. So glad she didn’t hit the gas tank or slideout
Simple Ground , super, super, super, super, super.
The Jurgys Yes, it could have been worse.
Simple Ground The baby also looks exhausted.
My goodness guys! I’m glad you and the baby wasn’t hurt!
This is why I stay in target parking lots .
This is the first video I've seen from your channel. I'm so sorry this happened but hey, I'm glad everyone is alright! Kinda scary!!
Hey, sorry about the accident.
Wanted to tell you that the Walmart, exit 105 off of I 64, Corydon Indiana is a good place to park for the Night.
Stay safe and Blessings for your family.
Wow. Sorry that you guys had to experience the Wal-mart homeless/druggie people. My thoughts and prayers with you all! Be well.
Mount Washington in New Hampshire ..."So Cool" best in Autumn ! Peace
Hopefully we can make it then!
My parents RV was parked in our driveway, which shared a boundary with the local fire deptartment. The cellar savers backed a fire truck in to the drivers side of the RV, right where shore power plugged in. I was asleep in the motorhome, got knocked out of the bunk by the collision, ( it was the middle of the night). Fire dept tried to deny it was their fault. So i fully understand your WTF is going on exasperation. Stay safe
Starting at 2:57: "and Bryce 'shoots up' super fast..."
Know we know the rest of the story.
I am a professional youtube watcher that has seen EVERY video on youtube and this is the craziest thing I've ever seen....great vid
Haha thanks for the stamp of approval
PLEASE come to Chandler, Arizona I’m moving there next week and it would mean the world to me if I could meet you or even just find a treasure
Chandler is a suburb off of Phoenix and it’s about 25 minutes away but there’s a lot of great canyon hiking and beautiful scenery and i hope you can come and visit my new home
Been living in chandler my hole life 38 years
I use Army corps lakes to park when i travel in the winter they normally only have one camp grround open. Average is 18 dollars a night ffor seniors it 9 dollars a night. And they are patrolled every few hour's.
that's a steal!
