“We got someone chasing us in a golf cart!” - that’s when you take off for a chase scene for a few laps around the campsite and then make a run for it.
I was 5 min, 28 seconds into the first video of yours I've ever watched! I love your attitudes and your message about respecting the stores that allow you to stay in their parking lot. The world would be a much nicer place if everyone was as kind, courteous and respectful as you two are!!!💜💜💜 Love it! Thank you💜💜💜
That's good to know! I'd NEVER stay there and make sure others know about his actions. Honestly if it was free, I'd not spend a single dime with him. I'm glad you guys can turn the other cheek.
And this is why it's important to hang with believers - I had the same initial reaction as you did to Mr. Golf Cart, but handling it with grace like you did was the better call. Blessings on you both!
You guys are amazing. My mouth was gaped open for a solid minute after that rude dude left. You handled that Extremely Well! Be the light is right. I can only hope to handle a situation as well.
Great points and great reminder to take a breath and bless even those that are not as sweet to us as they should be. You both are such an inspiration. God Bless you.
Yep. Retired from trucking almost 4 years ago. I remember staying at that cabelas/ Sam's club in billings Montana on multiple occasions. "Truck parking" lanes on samsclub side is a bit skinny and short for an 85 foot car carrier I had. Was more ideal for an RV. They even have an outdoor water spigot for anyone in need of a quick hose down or refill. Memories!
That was one miserable man. I think I would have made a circle around the campground to turn around despite his rudeness. He would have had a hard time stopping you with his golf cart. You’re a lot more accommodating than me. God bless you.
@@SuiteTravels , MOST PLACES ASKS YOU WHAT SIZE OF RIGS THAT YOUR IN & IF THEY DON'T WANTS ANYTHING THAT BIG, THEY SHOULD SAY SO BEFORE YOU GETS THERES & IF THEY HAVES AN ISSUE AFTER YOU HAVES GOTTEN THERES, THEY JUSTS NEEDS TO GETS OVERS THEMSELVES !?!
The both of you are good people... I have been following you for a long time.. I wish everyone had your great attitude and love of life. I just wanted to drop you a note and say thanks for your great adventures... Life isn't easy but with friends like you its doable... Safe travels... The Banks family
You guys did fine. No worries. Your rig is so big, I'm sure you'll even get more turn downs at these RV parks. Boondocking is increasing. Not letting people who aren't communicative or respectful "rent space in your head" (too long) is something we all have to deal with... I find... IF WE LET THEM STAY IN THERE TO LONG AND TOO DEEP (EMOTIONALLY INTENSE), THEN IT IS ABOUT US! SO YOU GUYS PROCESSED IT WELL! Aloha
It's not that he denied you access, it's HOW it went about doing it. He could have been nicer, saying he was sorry that he wouldn't be able to accommodate you for whatever reason (maybe just had the gravel redone and it hadn't settled, who knows).
How odd. I stayed in that park years ago with my Big rig. Even made a video about it. The owners have a military museum and were very nice at the time. Maybe it changed ownership...
Hi, 1st time here, hubby and I stayed at that place, and he was friendly, it was only $10. We had a 12ft travel trailer tho, lol! It was empty, I think we were the only ones there. We LOVED SD!!!! we travelled 33 States pre crazy. 🙋♀️🇨🇦❤
The dude's name is Tom. Lol! He's always that way. I think he has a complex against big trucks in general, unless he needs them to support his business stuff then they are okay. The HDT was likely the trigger of you being singled out.
No, he wasn’t having a bad day. He’s been like that his entire miserable life and he’s going to be that way for the rest of his life. Some people are just A- holes and as they say they don’t change their spots! Your just nice people and have a hard time understanding why some people are just miserable! You are the light!
@@SuiteTravels Should name them, so that we all can avoid them, like the plague! If they aren't brought up short, it just encourages more bad/horrible behavior. Best wishes from the far North.
@@carlthor91 If you are still curious of the location so as to avoid it. There are enough "clues" in the video to figure it out. East of Rapid City. I would have had a hard time not investigating and asking more questions.
Really good to see that after calming down, you guys came back on and modified your stand. He may have been having a bad day or he may have had a bad situation with a HDT that was the final straw. He could have been less abrasive but the way y'all handled it was great. Happy Travels to you, great to see you being the light and wishing blessings on the guy.
Obviously golf cart guy wasn't even remotely interested in talking with you. He got out of his cart to tell you to leave and he was already getting back in his cart as you replied to him. He didn't even listen to you. He wanted no conversation as he didn't think he needed to hear anything you had to say. Unfortunately, there are people in positions of power and authority who behave this way, he happens to be one of them.
I boondocked on my WA to AZ trip last year, F250 & 30' TH. Stayed at Blacks Creek rest area east of Boise and Costco in St George, the rest of the time was in the desert on public lands or at my brother's. The Costco stay we unplanned but it was getting late and I needed fuel anyway. Fueled up, parked in a far corner and went inside to grab a few items and settled in for the night. Was gone first thing in the AM well before they opened. Tried to be as inconspicuous as possible and no one bothered me.
That's the way to do it Dan! If we could all follow your example things would be better for all of us. Thanks for coming along and have a great weekend!
So very understand about your initial reaction.I was also shocked by his attitude. He could have let you know in a friendly manner. That is on him. I agree that you should pray for him. We don’t know what he may be going through. I enjoy your videos and your attitude and faith. Stay safe and have fun every chance you get 😊
What was the name of that camp ground where John Wayne chased you down? It looked like only on other 5th wheel there that I could see and I might know why.
I have stayed at that campground when I go to America's Mailbox. I have always had very positive experiences. He and his wife have always been kind to me. I am so sorry that your experience was so different. Thank you for coming back on after taking time to think about your encounter. He told me he started his RV park because he was so disgusted with the prices other parks in the area were charging. He wanted to make a safe quiet place the weary traveler could stay.
I respect the kindness of you both to just get out of there even with the guy being rude without explanation, explaining, or simply just talking with you. Obviously that guy has delt with a few angry truckers trying to park for the night but I doubt he even acknowledged your camper trailer.
HOLY WOW! That guy definitely was not having a good day. We were shocked. Both of you showed so much grace despite the annoyance, though. You two are just simply wonderful souls. Thank you for keeping it real every single day.
You are very welcome! We continue to try and spread the light each and every day....that's what we're all called to do. Hope to see you guys again soon!
Bless you for responding the way you have! It's too bad he didn't tell you what the issue was, but for other rigs that certainly sounds and looks like a good overnight stop. Semper Fi!
Hi guys , like the end wrap up. Great that you took the high road and gave the guy a decent review. More people should be like your selfs. Safe travels.
Stayed at the same Cabela’s 3 weeks ago, nice of them to help us out. And I even used that 24 hr express for the dump station, self paid and never saw anybody or a golf cart.
Wow. That guy was piece of work. Walmart rocks. Just subscribed to your channel. Love the content. Love the rig. My wife and I are OTR long haul truckers. Be safe guys.
I'm from that area in South Dakota and I have to say, I'm not surprised by how rude the guy was to you. Sadly, I don't think the guy was just "having a bad day." That attitude seems to be how a lot of people are on that side of the state. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. Love your channel! Safe travels 😊
It’s been a while but I do remember most campgrounds asking for year of manufacture of the RV and also total length. We towed all four on the ground so I usually went for the pull-through spots.
Hi Jim and Kelly! Love the video. I think that campground guy should change the sign no big rigs. That’s just weird. But glad you found somewhere to go for now and met up with some people. I made some Baked Ziti last weekend and my family loved it. That sauce is really good. Thank you Kelly for that recipe. Hope all is fine where you are at. Hope you have a great week. I forgive you Kelly for being upset. We are all human. Love you both have a great week and see you soon!
Thanks so much Sherri! It's just a bump in the road and we move on. You're right....on the plus side we met some new friends! Glad your family liked the Ziti...we appreciate you so much! Have a great weekend.
Just watched this older vid, what a great guy at campground wow. You should have gave us the secret hook when you went by, we are just before Sturgis along interstate, we have 53 ft freight trailers here all the time. You shock it off real well !
Um learning that people get shut down with camp grounds i never would have thought but um glad I watch and learn from these videos thanks for sharing guys
I worked in a campground my sister owned and all the underground utilities usually run under the road. I myself have had to replace 6" water lines and repaired and replaced sewer lines due to heavy vehicles and speeding in the campground. This is his reasoning why he didn't want the truck going in the campground. Campgrounds are not usually good income makers and for a man who's invested his retirement in such a place is probably operating in the red. The place didn't even look like a quarter of capacity and electric bills are EXTREMELY high and water and cable and internet as well.
As a former security specialist I’m curious if that place had some sort of company regulation against either the length, configuration or weight of your Rig. I’ve seen it happen. Although that guy should have explained why you weren’t allowed in a calm manner. He was completely unprofessional.
This one blessed my sox off guys. For almost five years of my life I drove cross country, and this video (Cabela's, Little Big Horn Battle site) was some of the places I've been. Beautiful country, but definitely has changed since I drove through in the early 2000's. It was sad about the man at the RV Park, ; letting your light shine was good advice. Who knows what that man has been going through of late. Bad stuff can make a nice person end up with a real bad attitude. Too bad he didn't give you a chance to talk to him and let the love of the Lord bless him. Oh well, maybe another time. Safe travels guys, have a blessed week.
So sorry you guys had to deal with that, but I love how you handled it!! Yes, be the LIGHT to others, you never know what going on in their life's. Loved the scenery on your drive. Take care you guys and be safe!! 💜
About to get a small trailer and happened onto your video. I didn’t think I would subscribe because as your set up is too huge for me…but had checked it out. Your response and this f/up … well you don’t see people with that sorta life outlook. Thank you for sharing your stories and being an example of kindness and logic. Thumps up and subscribed and hope to continue to see your adventures.
Thanks for the kind words Judy....and welcome to our community! This is a great group of "friends" and we're happy you're a part of it. Congratulations on your new trailer! Hopefully we will cross paths at some point down the road.
Wow!! That guy is something else! He shouldn't advertise big rig. So proud of you guys keeping your cool. You both rock! Thanks for sharing this video.
We pulled our RV all the way thru the Little Big Horn so Art could see everything last summer. I drove while he absorbed all the history. That was a hot day!
I get it. My last video was like this...we sat on our feelings for two months to make sure we were not over-reacting and then, in our video, just said that this was OUR experience and may not be other's experiences. I think that's the best we can do. Just show what WE go through so IF it happens to someone else then they are more emotionally ready to deal with it. Thanks for showing that life isn't all sunshine and roses and that we have to be honest but also be able to move on past these little dips. Safe travels you guys! (PS...happy to find your channel! )
You got me with the picture of the rig and the trailer, love it. You guys are great, love your way of handling the situation, I would of yeld. Because of this video and your personality, iam subscribing to your channel. Can't wait for more videos, God bless and great example of the American retirement dream.
I don’t think I would’ve held my tongue like you did great job , and for you Mr attitude I hope everyone sees what you did and no one camps in your dump
We haven't either Jim. The only thing we can think of is that he must have some pretty soft gravel roads in the park that he didn't want us on.....but who knows.
I applaud you for your great attitude about being denied into the park, I wouldn't have been able to do it myself. On the flip side I guess I can see why his lot was empty. As always I enjoy your posts and your Christian attitude, keep it up , love you two ❤
Well, bless your hearts. I would have needed some cooling off time, too. Really wonder what was going on there. Thanks for sharing your change of heart. I’m still learning the whole forgiveness thing. ❤️
Wow! What a crazy guy. I’ll put that one down as a must avoid campground. I’ll stay overnight in the coffee cup truck stop in that area instead. Don’t stay in the Rapid City KOA, you will not fit in any site. They put us in a very difficult site where we had to unhook the Jeep and back out. It is not big rig friendly either.
Dang, I wish I had been paying attention and looked you up at Americas Mailbox. We have been there since 17 September getting all of our Vehicle tags completed
Could have been Greg...but we never got a response from him. We understand if there were ground issues, etc. It's just a bump in the road and we move on. Have a great week!
Change the sign to, "Not for REALLY big rigs"! We've got a Big Rig (not as big as yours), I'm amazed at the campgrounds that are "Big Rig Friendly" that you can barely get through.
In California, Walmart is no longer a go to. In So.Cali there is 2 places and that's Bass Pro or Cracker Barrel and in all of CA there is only 1 of each. There are RV parks but they range around $40 to $80 and only a couple $20 & $36
I agree he should be blessed with kindness however those of us driving big rigs meaning hdt's really need to know the name of the place so we know not to try to go there and have another plans. Thanks
Yes. I can say to be diplomatic. And to not wish the man no business. Be better and the bigger person than that rude gentlemen was. But, at the same token, I do thank you for posting what this man did, because if he did this to you, I don't want ANYONE else with a BIG rig to go into his lot and get the same treatment.
Just a mix of hashbrowns, eggs and chopped ham JMack. Kellie cooks up a large batch and makes them up to throw in the freezer for travels days. We aren't commercial, so no CDL required. It all depends on your home state of licensing. Some states will require special endorsements like air brakes, over 26k, etc. Thanks for coming along!
I wish I could travel the way you guys do the different places and different states go all over the place think that would be nice and RV or a fifth wheel
It all starts with an idea Rodney! We have some friends that say "start small and start now". We hope you get a chance to get out and make some great memories!
I just stumbled on this video and the grace you two showed toward that disgruntled man was truly a testimony! Some have entertained angels unaware.... keep doing the next right thing and God bless!
Ironically enough we also stayed at Cabelas in Billings about 2 weeks ago. Cabelas and Bass Pro are our favorites for overnight parking. I do have to open my slides for our camper to function but I always make sure there is plenty of room and not busy. What concerns me is that in Montana and Wyoming there were tons of people setup in overnight parking that go as far as unhitching and all… this caught me way off guard. I also try to support the business if they are open either when we arrive or when we leave
Great points! If we can all stay small, quiet and not pull everything out like it's a campsite then we can continue to use these places! Travel safe and have a great weekend!
That man's attitude was uncalled for. There were no signs indicating HDT were not allowed. Bad day or not he had no right to be a butthole. Who knows he might have not even been the owner of that RV park.
@@SuiteTravels We haven't been turned away - YET. Our camper isn't big - its a 6x12 converted cargo trailer & from what we hear, some campgrounds won't allow cargo conversions. We go to a lot of State parks though. I hope if we get turned away we handle it with the dignity that you guys showed. God bless & safe travels!
You two handled that so well, I don't think I would have been that friendly back. But you get what you give in life and I hope for his sake he gives better than that. He will have his day of reckoning. I hope I'm not next in line when that time comes. I guess he has no clue how heavy the diesel pushers are?
I just love your attitude when you dealt with that guy at the campground. Well done. I love watching your videos. Hopefully one day I can travel from New Zealand to the US to visit some of the places you have shown.

Thanks Skyler. We try and hope others will follow!
I think that was the Wasta Self pay Campground in Wasta, SD.
Edit: Yup 51 C Avenue, Wasta SD.
Golf cart dude was very shrewd.
That's good to know! I'd NEVER stay there and make sure others know about his actions.
Honestly if it was free, I'd not spend a single dime with him. I'm glad you guys can turn the other cheek.

the crazy thing is it was a dirt lot. It wasn't like you were going to tear something up
Sounds like he needs to update the description for his place and remove the “big rig friendly” part! 😀
We were thinking the same thing!
And treat your customers and a better way because without us you have no business
It's even gravel road
Sounds like to me he needs to be taken out behind the barn and given an attitude adjustment!!
It's not that he denied you access, it's HOW it went about doing it. He could have been nicer, saying he was sorry that he wouldn't be able to accommodate you for whatever reason (maybe just had the gravel redone and it hadn't settled, who knows).

Um learning that people get shut down with camp grounds i never would have thought but um glad I watch and learn from these videos thanks for sharing guys
I worked in a campground my sister owned and all the underground utilities usually run under the road. I myself have had to replace 6" water lines and repaired and replaced sewer lines due to heavy vehicles and speeding in the campground. This is his reasoning why he didn't want the truck going in the campground. Campgrounds are not usually good income makers and for a man who's invested his retirement in such a place is probably operating in the red. The place didn't even look like a quarter of capacity and electric bills are EXTREMELY high and water and cable and internet as well.
My motto is:
Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape!
Well done you two!
As a former security specialist I’m curious if that place had some sort of company regulation against either the length, configuration or weight of your Rig. I’ve seen it happen. Although that guy should have explained why you weren’t allowed in a calm manner. He was completely unprofessional.
I doubt that size had anything to do with it. It was a truck stop.
This one blessed my sox off guys. For almost five years of my life I drove cross country, and this video (Cabela's, Little Big Horn Battle site) was some of the places I've been. Beautiful country, but definitely has changed since I drove through in the early 2000's. It was sad about the man at the RV Park,
; letting your light shine was good advice. Who knows what that man has been going through of late. Bad stuff can make a nice person end up with a real bad attitude. Too bad he didn't give you a chance to talk to him and let the love of the Lord bless him. Oh well, maybe another time. Safe travels guys, have a blessed week.
So happy you enjoyed it Lynn! We are all called to be the light in a world full of darkness. Thanks for coming along and be safe.
So sorry you guys had to deal with that, but I love how you handled it!! Yes, be the LIGHT to others, you never know what going on in their life's. Loved the scenery on your drive. Take care you guys and be safe!! 💜
Thanks so much Carol! We appreciate you coming along. Have a great weekend.
About to get a small trailer and happened onto your video. I didn’t think I would subscribe because as your set up is too huge for me…but had checked it out. Your response and this f/up … well you don’t see people with that sorta life outlook. Thank you for sharing your stories and being an example of kindness and logic. Thumps up and subscribed and hope to continue to see your adventures.
Thanks for the kind words Judy....and welcome to our community! This is a great group of "friends" and we're happy you're a part of it. Congratulations on your new trailer! Hopefully we will cross paths at some point down the road.
Wow!! That guy is something else! He shouldn't advertise big rig.
So proud of you guys keeping your cool. You both rock! Thanks for sharing this video.
Seeing the big new toy hauler and having to ride with stuff in the sink seems really odd. No cupboard for the water thingy?
Why ? It has water in it…. How’s that work if spilled in a wood cabinet ? Lmao ! Sink is the best place for it !
We travel with water in the Berkey, so we feel better with it in the sink Brian.
We pulled our RV all the way thru the Little Big Horn so Art could see everything last summer. I drove while he absorbed all the history. That was a hot day!
I get it. My last video was like this...we sat on our feelings for two months to make sure we were not over-reacting and then, in our video, just said that this was OUR experience and may not be other's experiences. I think that's the best we can do. Just show what WE go through so IF it happens to someone else then they are more emotionally ready to deal with it. Thanks for showing that life isn't all sunshine and roses and that we have to be honest but also be able to move on past these little dips. Safe travels you guys! (PS...happy to find your channel! )
You got me with the picture of the rig and the trailer, love it. You guys are great, love your way of handling the situation, I would of yeld. Because of this video and your personality, iam subscribing to your channel. Can't wait for more videos, God bless and great example of the American retirement dream.
Thanks Miquel....welcome to the community!
I don’t think I would’ve held my tongue like you did great job , and for you Mr attitude I hope everyone sees what you did and no one camps in your dump
It looked like only one rig was in the rv park? And he made you back out!! I have never had an interaction that rude.
We haven't either Jim. The only thing we can think of is that he must have some pretty soft gravel roads in the park that he didn't want us on.....but who knows.
You guys are the real deal.Bless your hearts I'm not sure how calm I would be
Awe thanks William! We appreciate you coming along.
I applaud you for your great attitude about being denied into the park, I wouldn't have been able to do it myself.
On the flip side I guess I can see why his lot was empty.
As always I enjoy your posts and your Christian attitude, keep it up , love you two ❤
Thanks Andrew....just a bump in the road. Have a great weekend.
Yeah empty lot. Could it be the rude guy. Up yours rude guy.
Well, bless your hearts. I would have needed some cooling off time, too. Really wonder what was going on there. Thanks for sharing your change of heart. I’m still learning the whole forgiveness thing. ❤️
Life is full of learning Jeannine....and we're still working on it! Hope you guys are doing well.
Wow!
What a crazy guy. I’ll put that one down as a must avoid campground. I’ll stay overnight in the coffee cup truck stop in that area instead.
Don’t stay in the Rapid City KOA, you will not fit in any site. They put us in a very difficult site where we had to unhook the Jeep and back out. It is not big rig friendly either.
Meet you at Araby in Yuma. Enjoyed the tour of your coach!!
Dang, I wish I had been paying attention and looked you up at Americas Mailbox. We have been there since 17 September getting all of our Vehicle tags completed
Oh that's too bad Robert. We didn't stay long though....just enough time to grab our mail and go. Have a great weekend.
Common courtesy costs nothing! Glad you found a space...although same issues in Australia.
It's not much fun Ian...but just a bump in the road! Thanks for coming along.
Humility is a wonderful virtue! Cudos to you! Be the better person! God is good!
I love that big red truck.it probably doesn't even now the fifth wheel is behind you.
Thanks! We love our setup....it's very comfortable - and safe! Have a great week.
The only thing I can think of is how well the grounds were kept -- now could your tow rig be heavy enough to do damage to his road ways ?
Could have been Greg...but we never got a response from him. We understand if there were ground issues, etc. It's just a bump in the road and we move on. Have a great week!
@@SuiteTravels Thanks
Change the sign to, "Not for REALLY big rigs"! We've got a Big Rig (not as big as yours), I'm amazed at the campgrounds that are "Big Rig Friendly" that you can barely get through.
It's an everyday issue with a rig our size D....that's why we have to research for every trip we make. Thanks for coming along.
I started watching the video of the rv tour and ended up watching almost all of their videos 😍they are fantastic, God bless you.
Awe....thanks Yadira! We appreciate you coming along.
His behavior spoke for him. Great video new subscriber
Thanks MsE...we appreciate you coming along!
In California, Walmart is no longer a go to. In So.Cali there is 2 places and that's Bass Pro or Cracker Barrel and in all of CA there is only 1 of each. There are RV parks but they range around $40 to $80 and only a couple $20 & $36
LOl....that's one of the reasons we try and avoid California Candy! We love the beauty and people...but so expensive! Have a great week.
I agree he should be blessed with kindness however those of us driving big rigs meaning hdt's really need to know the name of the place so we know not to try to go there and have another plans. Thanks
Yes. I can say to be diplomatic. And to not wish the man no business. Be better and the bigger person than that rude gentlemen was. But, at the same token, I do thank you for posting what this man did, because if he did this to you, I don't want ANYONE else with a BIG rig to go into his lot and get the same treatment.
Agreed. Hopefully others with big rigs will be able to avoid the shock we had.
What kind of breakfast burritos you making, you have a video on that?, and to be able to drive a rig like you have, does it require a cdl license.
Just a mix of hashbrowns, eggs and chopped ham JMack. Kellie cooks up a large batch and makes them up to throw in the freezer for travels days. We aren't commercial, so no CDL required. It all depends on your home state of licensing. Some states will require special endorsements like air brakes, over 26k, etc. Thanks for coming along!
I was going to do this with my Pete 377. Decided to buy a Prevost instead.
Just found your channel. You all seem like nice genuine folks. And I love your rig set up. ❤️
Awe thanks Marge! We're glad you found us....welcome to the community!
I wish I could travel the way you guys do the different places and different states go all over the place think that would be nice and RV or a fifth wheel
It all starts with an idea Rodney! We have some friends that say "start small and start now". We hope you get a chance to get out and make some great memories!
What part of driving a golf cart makes you grumpy!!? Will I turn into this when I’m older!?
We sure hope not Nick! Have a great weekend.
I just stumbled on this video and the grace you two showed toward that disgruntled man was truly a testimony! Some have entertained angels unaware.... keep doing the next right thing and God bless!
Ironically enough we also stayed at Cabelas in Billings about 2 weeks ago. Cabelas and Bass Pro are our favorites for overnight parking. I do have to open my slides for our camper to function but I always make sure there is plenty of room and not busy. What concerns me is that in Montana and Wyoming there were tons of people setup in overnight parking that go as far as unhitching and all… this caught me way off guard. I also try to support the business if they are open either when we arrive or when we leave
Great points! If we can all stay small, quiet and not pull everything out like it's a campsite then we can continue to use these places! Travel safe and have a great weekend!
My concept of staying small, quiet, no slides out is very different than what i see here...
Do you have a small fridge and microwave in the sleep of your truck??
Yes we have both Ronald.
You handled it WAY better than I would have.
That man's attitude was uncalled for. There were no signs indicating HDT were not allowed. Bad day or not he had no right to be a butthole. Who knows he might have not even been the owner of that RV park.
Agreed, it would have been nice to hear his side of the story.....
You really kept a positive attitude about this. Amazing!
We tried...after the edit process the shock wore off and we realized it was just a bump in the road and we move on.
@@SuiteTravels We haven't been turned away - YET. Our camper isn't big - its a 6x12 converted cargo trailer & from what we hear, some campgrounds won't allow cargo conversions. We go to a lot of State parks though. I hope if we get turned away we handle it with the dignity that you guys showed. God bless & safe travels!
@@cargoon-cargoconversionbui2880 Thanks guys....hope to run into you on the road. That would be awesome!
@@SuiteTravels Yes it would - we could park next to each and do a video - that would be funny!
@@cargoon-cargoconversionbui2880 it would be fun!
God bless you two. I love the end of the and your not trashing his business, I don't know if I would have handled it that way.
Thanks Timothy....we all need to spread some light in this world full of darkness. Have a wonderful week.
I have definitely seen you guys in multiple states
You'll have to wave next time!
You two handled that so well, I don't think I would have been that friendly back. But you get what you give in life and I hope for his sake he gives better than that. He will have his day of reckoning. I hope I'm not next in line when that time comes. I guess he has no clue how heavy the diesel pushers are?
Not sure Jerster....maybe we'll never know. Have a great weekend!
So sorry for your experience. He didn't need to be rude. It doesn't cost any money to be polite.
It's okay Karen....it's just a bump in the road of life. Thanks for coming along!
I just love your attitude when you dealt with that guy at the campground. Well done. I love watching your videos. Hopefully one day I can travel from New Zealand to the US to visit some of the places you have shown.
It's a beautiful country Rawiri and we hope you have the chance to visit at some point. Thanks for coming along and stay safe.
Good on you for taking the high road. I fear my temper would have gotten the best of me :-(
It's a learning process and we're still learning! It took us a while to get over the shock....thanks for coming along.
Wow that guy was very not nice! It doesn't take much to be kind. Sheesh. You guys are the best! Safe travels! Love your channel!
