Don't just drive through New Brunswick... but fill up on gas

- So did you know New Brunswick has the BIG CIRCLE DRIVE? Neither did we... but it does and this week we'll show you. We couldn't decide what to do during our last week in NB so we decided to just do it all. Detours became common place each day as something else would pop up and we'd say, sure... let's do it! And this week we learned that not only are our RAD eBikes not waterproof even though they're under a cover... we learned their service, even for ambassadors, leaves a lot to be desired. And Owen needs to be very careful with how much gas we have before he heads out across dirt backroads.

Hope the e-Bike is repaired quickly. Loved all of the beautiful views!!! One of the rocks looked like Yogi Bear standing...lol
We stayed in PEI for a week, golfing and sightseeing. Was great. Big mosquitoes
Hello Owen, Lynn, and Maggie. Just viewed this recent upload of your time in NB. We've been without internet for a week or so now and it's good to catch up with Van Trekking Lifestyle. Thanks for posting our picture with you guys. It made our time there more special. We are back in the good old USA again and after a week in Acadia NP, we somehow have crossed NH, VT and now are in NY. Hope to see you again on the road somewhere. If we never go, we will never know, so we're still going.
Glad you made it back to the US safely, I wish we could have spent more time tougher, maybe next time. Keep going!
Loved the shout out to Dave and Carrie. We watch them too. Looks like you’re really enjoying yourselves. It’s a really pretty area!
We love watching Dave and Carrie, they are one of our favorite channels.
Thanks for the blast from my past. In the late 1960s I lived outside of St John in Rothesay. During my time there I spent exploring NB & the rest of the Maritime Provinces. I fell in love with the east coast of Canada & it’s people. Despite now being well over 50 yrs later, I’m sure y’all will have amazing adventures. I still can picture the beauty I found there.
Safe travels…
Glad we were able to bring back some fond memories. We have fell in love with the Maritimes Provinces. It is so beautiful here.
This brought back great memories of our recently completed 12,000 mile trip. We loved the Hopewell Rocks. Oh, we have an appointment with our local Ford Dealer for a wheel alignment along with an oil change. Feel lucky not to have blown a tire or bent a rim on some of the pot holes we literally fell into. On the plus side you get better mpg because you have to drive slower! You will love PEI!
We will probably have to have a wheel alignment after all this is done. We are driving really slow too.
We laughed at the section of the video as you drove from Mirimachi to Grand Falls. We did that same road (in reverse) when we visited from Ontario in early July in a rented class B. We thought the van cabinets were going to fall off the walls!
We will be watching with interest as you cruise very familiar landscapes in the other Atlantic Provinces.
A note on pronunciation - with Newfoundland it is challenging to get the emphasis on the correct syllables - you say it in the same fashion as “understand”. So Newfoundland…understand…
Have fun!
We have ask several people the correct pronunciation and we always get a different answer. Thanks for the information.
Glad you enjoyed New Brunswick as much as you did except for the bugs. Enjoyed your video, as usual and look forward to seeing your next one. Stay safe my friends! We r in Ontario now visiting with my Aunt and Uncle.
We really did love NB and all it has to offer. We hope you are enjoying your trip and staying safe. Keep in touch.
The water fall was spectacular! Maggie sure likes to roll in grass. Our previous dog would do that, too. Thanks for showing us New Brunswick.💜
You are so welcome and thank you for following along.
Glad you enjoyed New Brunswick. Most people just pass through to get to Nova Scotia or PEI but NB has a lot to offer visitors.
We loved New Brunswick!
Another awesome video! I hate bugs too but I love camping! 😎🙏💕
Glad I’m not the only one.
I booted out loud when I saw Maggie start to jump and the camera quit! 😂😂🤣
Booted out loud!
Hooted
Dang fingers! Laughed 🙄😬🤔
So you knew what was happening… she usually gives us some warning.
Love you guys and how flexible and adventurous you are on these long road trips. Thank you for creating these videos.
You are so welcome and thank you for watching.
Thank goodness you got to a gas station before you ran out of gas. What a nice beach area! The rocks majestic it look beautiful. It looks beautiful there. Your boon docking spot looks nice too with a great view! Have fun safe travels. Bye New Brunswick! Can’t wait yo see where you’ll be next. See you all soon!
The gas gauge was getting way to low for me especially with all the road conditions. Boon docking next tot he Confederation Bridge was extra special.
Hello you 2!
May i suggest gaspesie on route 132. From sainte-Flavie to Forillon national park. It is just breathtaking all the way❤
Ha e a safe trip! Love seeing you guys with your amazing Maggie❤
Thank you for your wonderful videos❤❤
Thank you for the suggestion. We may have to put it on the list for next time.
We are so far behind watching ya'll...so we are taking this rainy day in AZ to binge and get caught up. New Brunswick is now on our list!! What a great trip!
Thank you for catching up.
That was awesome. I liked the shout-out to Dave and Carrie. Can't wait for the next video. Safe travels.
We appreciate you following along. We love Dave and Carrie, on of our favorites.
I think Owen planned the gas perfectly. Why carry more than you need😂. Looking for to PEI.....Happy Trails 🐕
It was cutting it way to close for me. Especially when we kept running into road closures.
I bet. I get a little nervous when I get to 50 miles left in tank@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle
Those rocks! Silent sentinels of the sea. Just magnificent. Can't wait for PEI! Years ago, we almost bought a B & B there.
We loved PEI and I can see why you would buy a B&B there. Thanks for watching.
You will always remember your time in New Brunswick, and if you hadn’t have gone you wouldn’t have known! I know that Dave likes his wild edibles, but the seaweed, not so much. 😉
We love watching Dave and Carrie and Owen was giving them a shout out, I sure hope he didn’t try the seaweed, it was nasty.
Hopewell Rocks is a super cool place. We experienced one of those “gas adventures “ this past January, has you holding your breath! LOL. All’s well that ends well! Loved this video, thanks.
It did end well but I was pretty nervous for a while. Thanks for watching.
We definitely agree about New Brunswick. We can't wait to go back (and we've been at least ten times already...) Enjoy those maritime provinces. They're the best. And keep your fuel topped up. Makes for less tense moments and price shock at the pumps.
Very wise advice about fuel. I’m sure this will not be our last time going to New Brunswick.
70 km's equals 42 miles, so if you only have 25 miles to the next gas station, you'll make it. New Brunswick often gets overlooked compared to its better known neighbours, Quebec and Nova Scotia, but you guys have actually shown us that NB has some really cool scenery!
We were a little concerned because we had already experience two road closers, but we did have gas on the back. It was just a little to close for me.
Hello guys, Maggie is something else eh? Jumping in the water and rolling in the grass. She is having a blast. Sorry about the bugs, we can't stop them at the border with the states. Lol. Love you guys. Hey Maggie ❤❤❤
So far that was the only place that we could not tolerate the bugs. Maggie is something else and has a mind of her on.
Sorry to hear Owens monitor quit working after water got in it. I hope it started to work again after drying it and putting in rice. Glad you found your way back to camp after getting lost and your phone and bike were dying from low batteries. Loved your lunch and I would have ate inside to if the weather was bad. Loved the waterfall. That town was so cute. Maggie loves the water and loves to roll in the grass! How cute!
We so appreciate you following along.
Oh Canada !ty for enjoying a portion of Canada :-)I’m a Canadian and love seeing my own country how did u like it ? Those pot hole were bad though,Ehy? Lol
We loved every part of Canada we visited.
Maggie was ready to go for a swim Dad! New Brunswick was beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Loving this series! Happy Travels!
Thank you Sandra. We appreciate you following along.
Are black bean tacos good for bugs? Asking for a friend. 😉 We loved New Brunswick, especially the King’s Landing living history museum. Thanks for another great video.
I do not think black bean tacos are good for bugs but I don’t really know for sure. We appreciate you watching!
We have enjoyed this trip. Thank you for letting us travel with y'all. Being from Florida where the state bird is the mosquito, you never get use to the bugs. Happy tails and safe travels.
There’s only been a few places that the bugs have bothered us. We know all about those Florida state birds.
Thank you I did the same thing on my last trip with the gas.God Bless
I guess it’s given that we all get a little to close to running out of gas when you are traveling.
It’s so much about the journey, what memories are made of. Nice scenery, glad I was along for this adventure. Happy tails. 🚗🙋🏼♀️❤️🐕👍🇨🇦
Thanks so much for following along.
Another great video! Got in just under the wire-52min after posted😊
You are too sweet my friend, hope you are enjoying PEI. Safe travels.
Have you been to the Bay of ? I watched VanCity VanLife walk up to and cross the center of the bridge at a tidal change. If you want to see something super fascinating go during the peak tidal change. The current is astronomically fast and has such a drop/rise at full/slack tide that its something to the tune of 90 ft difference. Chrome, the RUclips channel I mentioned did the tour last summer and let me tell you what I saw totally amazed me at the rate of the water current going through under the bridge. The rocks on either side show high tide mark within about 45 minutes of tidal change. Hope you'll give it a whirl. Happy trails and safe travels to ya'll and Maggie to!
It's called the Bay of Fundy, highest tides in the world. That's where the Hopewell Rocks are located in New Brunswick.
Are you referring to the bridge in Maitland, Nova Scotia perhaps? That is where the Shubenacadie River and the Bay of Fundy waters meet and they have raftering tours that ride the rapids created when the tide comes in.
@@dorisbetts3012 yup that is what I was referring to, but if you go to VanCity VanLife play list from his summer travels last year, he was at a spot that was a very narrow inlet where the water was ocean water before the muddy river water came to meet the ocean. The dates were somewhere from mid July to mid August when the post was released. Mind you Chrome posts a daily 15 to 20 minute video, so I would look for the Bay of Fundi or highest tidal change in the world. Chrome usually does his homework to quote as accurately as he can, but then again he loves quirky stuff to so sometimes its off the cuff then he finds a local to tell him about his finds and does a voice over to give you info. It's his enthusiasm at seeing something he has never encountered before that keeps me coming back every day to see what he's been up to daily.
@@dorisbetts3012 I don't recall the bridge name but it was a narrow inlet of clear ocean water before it meets the muddy waters from the ocean. Solid rock on each side with high water marks that were mind blowing at the rate of inflow from the incoming tide posted with warning signs that stated the dangerous current and no swimming allowed and Chrome's enthusiasm at seeing something new only in Canada, no where else in the world. It's in his summer travels from last year between mid July and mid August, he posts daily so I would search for it using summer travels - Bay of Fundi mind blowing or only in Canada. VanCity Vanlife logo is Weirdos. Unite
We will look for Chrome’s video. We also watch him and love his channel. Thanks for the suggestion.
Those air dancers were delighted to see the three of you in NB, and I was similarly happy as well!
We always think of you when we see air dancers.
Great adventure. Really beautiful area. Love those falls… Did you do the backwards walk trick? I swear the water was going up the falls I. The one shot. Thanks for sharing the adventure.
You have a good eye… yes Owen did the walking backwards trick, I laughed pretty hard watching him walk when he ran it back. Thanks for noticing.
Another great episode and you know I always enjoy your channel!! Where the gas lol 😂!! This is priceless , great humour and Maggie swimming enjoy her life !! Wow Lynn you are you show some beautiful spot !! Owen don’t eat what you are not to eat !! Lol!,
As always BS & BK & BS !!
Owen didn’t really eat the sea weed… just a shout out to Dave and Carrie. That would have been really nasty. Thanks so much for always watching.
Great video! Super music. I just love that Maggie. Where do you find all those great boondocking sites? IOverlander? And do you recommend the separate GPS?
We do find most of our spots on IOverlander, but sometimes we just find a spot that looks good and if there are not any “No Overnite” signs we will stay there. We did down load all the goggle maps on our phones plus we have the GPS on the van that has bailed us out a couple of times.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle thanks so much for your reply! You guys are the best!
wow Owen sorry to hear about your bike you would think that would be water proof all that money for a bike and its not sealed maybe if you contact dealer they will send you one for free just a thought love you guys vids travel safe
We’ve had the bikes for 4 years and keep them covered with a bike cover so we have never thought about the controller getting water in it. We did contact the dealer but could not get them to expedite shipping while we were on the road, and free was not an option. Thanks for the suggestion.
Really enjoyed this video. How far off your planned route will you go to find a nice boondocking spot? Or are they just plentiful in New Brunswick?
They are very plentiful in NB. Most of the time we try to find something on the way but we will drive 15-20 miles out of the way to get a good spot.
Hey Owen, there is a big difference between plain ol' seaweed and dulse lol. Dulse is a superfood and delicious! I guess it's an acquired taste lol.
I munched on Dulse all the time when living up there. I enjoyed it. I used to buy it at the big farmer’s market in St John
@@mitchellk1269 Best place to get it is straight from Grand Manan Island for the freshest :D
Yum. Dulse. Reminds me I have some in the cupboard and need a snack!
Owen didn’t really eat the sea weed 🤣. So we’ll have to try some Dulse. Thanks for the information.
You brought up a point about driving speed….did you use Google to check what the conversion was or did you have a chart of some kind that you used? Never gave that a thought about driving in Canada.
We set the speedometer on the van to km so we would know we were going the correct speed limit.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle thank you. Sometimes the fix is easier than I think it is. 🤣🤣
I suppose you have shown us to never leave ebikes uncovered?
They were covered the entire time. Not sure how they collected water. From under cover while driving is all we can guess. Lynn's was fine. Mine not so much.
Did you get the bike control working, can you use the bike without it.
We did not get the control work. You could use the bike without it but they are so heavy I don’t think we would.
Maggie: first I’ll have a roll in the grass followed by a short dip in pool then a little more laying in the grass. I about have these humans where I want them.
Maggie is just a little spoiled. We do try to make sure she is happy too.
Check E Bike controller for screws on the back ,could be hidden under the back sticker. If not you may be able to pry it apart just like a tv remote and some gps units. They usually will have clips around the inside edge. Press inwards with a thin tool until you get one to release and then just continue around the perimeter. The let it air out in the sun at least a couple days and hair dryer may help. Waiting for rice to solve it is another wishful thinking you tube crap hack.
Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated!
Waiting on my "If you never go" sticker.
Did you order it from RUclips. Let us know when you ordered it. We will send you one if you don’t get it.
@@VANTREKKINGlifestyle Yes. July 30th. No confirmation as to when it's being sent, yet.
