Fun video: I had motor homes for almost 30 years. Tires are always something to watch. Never worried about water weight, always worried about running out.
We had a 32' Class C for a couple of years. Sold it a month ago. The RV life is full of unexpecteds whether it be mechanical or traffic related or reservation issues. It's not for everyone. We might try it again sometime with a tow-behind. I love the convenience of the Class C especially when boondocking - you never have to get out! But once you're at your destination the RV is your home so you gotta have some other means of transportation. (Yes, we did the electric bikes too - expensive!) With a tow-behind trailer you can drop it and go wherever. So give it some thought before you jump in.
I really appreciate you starting this channel. I have often wondered if buying a RV and seeing the country would be an option for me to pursue. After watching a hand full of these videos I am ready to….buy a plane ticket to Saint Somewhere and NEVER go RVing! Thanks….Seriously thank Bobby Doodles.
I'd consider that if you really want to see the country you wouldn't travel like Bobby is. Most people who've done this a while will stay a week to three weeks at a time and drive their towed vehicle around the local area to see everything at a relaxed pace. That really stretches out occurences of maintenance issues, trying to find a reservation, etc. He was rushing and only spending a few nights at most places. That's too much. You don't really get to relax and appreciate the locations.
@Glamping Doodles, Tiger Run is ok but a little snobby, especially if you have an older RV! Hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in our lovely state, lots of great places to boondock all over the place.
You are a braver man than me Bobby. That is a seriously big vehicle. I would be concerned about getting it in to a situation I couldn’t get out of. I was once driving a large people carrier in Faro, Portugal. The roads in that town are ridiculously narrow and I came across a car parked on one one those roads and couldn’t get past. Couldn’t speak Portuguese to knock on doors to ask for it to be moved. Loads of traffic stuck behind me. Nightmare.
My next last task before leaving a site is trash inspection and then finally unplug from "shore" power after the walkaround. It only takes once of driving while "jacked up" to ruin the rest of your day or trip, even worse than a flat tire. Good luck.
Having just started RVing ourselves, we too have found it very difficult to find spaces available across most of the country. Then there seems to be a common “attitude” among the operators of those parks of “take it or leave it” at whatever price they can get. We have booddocked a lot more than we had thought we would have to, but it’s been OK. I can’t believe you are packing TWO bikes! We are enjoying the lifestyle but not the “attitudes”.
I just missed you bet we passed each other a few times , I crossed over the divide, went to a wedding and back , got a horrible case of people since my last trip 1975,
Thanks for sharing Bobby. We Have at 34 Class A and have done Colorado. Also have a Cessna 182T, and would much rather go in the 182. :-). Switchbacks are insane. Something you want experience, but don't want to do it again. hahaha
What beautiful country! Ah man I wanted the video to continue. Believe it or not I enjoy this more than sailing doodles which I’m finding the content to be rinse and repeat a lot.
Very glad the flat didn't damage the rig. That "10 year rule" is BS. Especially when a regular joe buys a rig, the "low" monthly payments are based on a 20 year note. 🙄
@@joesmith3279 The “rule” is unfortunately pretty common at some resorts that pretend they are upper-class. Most campgrounds are not that snotty. I understand objecting to a “Cousin Eddie” RV, but many older rigs still look brand new when taken care of.
@@robertmills2900 Most of the ones with that rule will make exceptions for rigs that are in good shape. They just have to look at it first (or sometimes you can send them pictures).
You being a Pilot, maybe it would be a good idea to create a checklist for preparing to launch for a new day. I wouldn't want to pull away with all that gear still down. Yikes!
I got attitude sickness in Breckenridge. It killed the whole vacation. Anything above 10k affects me. Humdifier works great for those higher attitudes.
I can deal with aLtitude sickness. Makes getting a beer buzz a lot cheaper! Lately, last 2 trips to Colorado, I have been sick of the new Colorado aTTitude. I lived in Golden, Arvada, Fairplay, Leadville, Buena Vista, Siverton, Ouray in the '70's znd 80's. I went back last in 2019. Pretty disappointing the new culture in this once great state.
I spent a little time in Blackhawk mountain at Vics Gold panning. Jessie is a great guy that runs the place. I did a little work for him down in the gold mine. Then they made a documentary of the mine after I had to leave. You should go. Great adventure out there.
Bobby, check the dates on those RV tires. You don’t want outdated tires (over five to six years old) on your rig. The maintenance on RV’s is enormous like a boat. Great videos, my friend.
Are you still trying to find someone to host? I have watched all sailing doodles. I have been a certified RV tech for 20 years. The Belize trip is awesome!
I was a bike nut at one time. My brother in law got t-boned by a truck and broke his femur. It kinda killed my road biking desire. I still like mtn biking. Looking good man!!
Hey Bobby great vid…the Glamping rules at independent RV resorts are ridiculous! Not everyone has a 44ft. Prevost…but, they will usually have a full lot….State Parks have silly rules too….get your medical back and we can watch you fly the world in a Beech Baron!
Always entertained about an old neglected Class C Rv labeled Glamping RV. Bobby you need to do more than just put gasoline in your RV and spend a little $$ on your Bicycle if you want a dependable RV.
What RV park was it Bobby ? ….a lot of people are getting tired of some slug making arbitrary rules over 3 feet right ? ….probably some old man ..who thinks he’s in charge
Some of the rules people come up with are just dumb. I would do a Google review of the RV park. It will help others be warned of their dumb rules. Obviously, you didn't know when you reserved the spot by the river. It's still a very nice trip boondocking along the way isn't that bad just managing your water and waste. Safe travels Captian
Older RV’s break down a lot. Most RV parks don’t have room for onsite repairs and RV parts laying around. I’ve seen some shoddy RV’s that shouldn’t even be on the road.
What does that RV weigh, 10,000 pounds? Dumping 300 pounds of water isn't gonna make any difference....... except of course if you break down in the middle of nowhere. Then you would happily sacrifice that pint of gas you saved for the 300 pounds of water.
You said you had a lot of cars backed up behind you. Last I knew, it was the law in Colorado that if you have more than 5, you take the next pullout and let them by. And yes, cops love writing tickets for that. And a big plus on the ebike. Check the class. If it has a throttle or can go more than 20mph, it's not allowed on many bike paths. Pedal assist only and no assist over 20 is the rule. They should have told you that at the shop.
Funny thing, I was staying at that RV park when your video came out. When you said 5 miles from Breck, I thought, could it be here?? Then recognized the scenes. I thought it was nice, but I was in a cabin. Didn't experience any RV drama. Too bad what happened. Looking around, all the trailers/RVs were very high end.
That would be a pain in the butt to have to put up with that attitude at a campground. We go camping to have fun and then have to go through that kind of noise. The parks should allow older campers that are maintained, I don't get that either.

Go easy on those Utah roads.

Bobby put the camera forward when you show the town.what a bad way to see it looking at your mug.lol.thanks for sharing dude
It doesn't get much better than the mountains in CO in the summertime. TRUTH.
Nice choice. Used to have a condo in Breck for skiing and sometimes summer fun. Sure do miss it.

Love Colorado! Stayed in Vail nice town!
So Tiger Run resort we scratch them Bobby from our list ….when captain three feet too short is in charge of the office ✅check !!
@Glamping Doodles, Tiger Run is ok but a little snobby, especially if you have an older RV! Hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in our lovely state, lots of great places to boondock all over the place.
I love it. Sharon and I stayed at Tiger Run in Aug. 2007. Really pretty place. It was 30* when we got up in the morning.
Hey Bobby, enjoying the ride along. Those are some very nice bikes you have.
if you have problem with generator their is an adjustment for altitude on it.
HA! I was not expecting to see a location in my backyard!
Welcome to camping. If you haven't prebooked well in advacne, good luck finding a place. The best is when you find a great off-grid spot to boondock
Was just there Flaming gorge. Great boon docking south end .
1993 I went to Breckinridge at spring break. had a great time,
Bobby,......what ever happened to Flying Doodles?...many pilots are sailors and visa versa.......look forward to both again.
You are a braver man than me Bobby. That is a seriously big vehicle. I would be concerned about getting it in to a situation I couldn’t get out of.

I drove through Colorado beautiful as can be
You were in my backyard . I am slipped by the dam.🍺
My next last task before leaving a site is trash inspection and then finally unplug from "shore" power after the walkaround. It only takes once of driving while "jacked up" to ruin the rest of your day or trip, even worse than a flat tire. Good luck.
you have killed a shitload of bugs in this video Bobby .Well done !
Should have looked at the Lectric bike that folds up.

Boating or Camping you do keep it interesting. :)
BPS!!!! The greatest place on earth!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice Cervelo P5!
I just missed you bet we passed each other a few times , I crossed over the divide, went to a wedding and back , got a horrible case of people since my last trip 1975,
Good stuff Bobby. With the exercise you’re doing and the shape you’re in, you should get your class 1 back.
Damn it. I literally live 10 minutes from that Bass Pro shop. Would have been cool to meet you
Thanks for sharing Bobby. We Have at 34 Class A and have done Colorado. Also have a Cessna 182T, and would much rather go in the 182. :-). Switchbacks are insane. Something you want experience, but don't want to do it again. hahaha
With the population increase the mountains are getting very crowded. Everything is pricey in mountains and Colorado.
Been there and they could not pay me to go back. I guess when you are born Southern that is where you need to be.
@@DannyWalker247 To each their own, I'm from the midwest and you cannot beat the weather out west.
Pretty snooty bootch places down there Bobby!
Should keep Jellystone Park in Larkspur in mind for next time, about 20mi north of the springs.
Nice ride …the bike that is. What group is on it ?
Dude, you gotta wash that hat! Another great video though. I'm looking forward to seeing more about that ebike.

E Bikes will work you hard on hills , best investment ! Flaming Gorge great boating ...
I got attitude sickness in Breckenridge. It killed the whole vacation. Anything above 10k affects me. Humdifier works great for those higher attitudes.
you had an attitude or you had altitude sickness? The prices there certainly give me a bad attitude!

Camp outside planet fitness you get a workout if you want and free shower 👍
I saw you at peerless. I live in the broadmoor and I rode my bicycle and saw you standing there. I thought to myself, that couldn't be him :-)
How did Auburn not do bronze tree statues, seems like a missed opportunity
Had a little density altitude to contend with on that 25 mile bike ride. haha. Good job! Thanks for the video!
Got the same bike it’s great
Bobby, I’m a Cervello dealer , if you ever need anything!!
I was looking forward to the Triathalon. ...
I spent a little time in Blackhawk mountain at Vics Gold panning. Jessie is a great guy that runs the place. I did a little work for him down in the gold mine. Then they made a documentary of the mine after I had to leave. You should go. Great adventure out there.
find something like Good Sams or AAA rv roadside assist.
wait what happened to the boat???
😎🇺🇸👍. Rather snobbish of the rv park. You sure your GPS put you on the correct road in Utah? Sometimes good old atlas is best.
What happened with the boat?
Bobby, check the dates on those RV tires. You don’t want outdated tires (over five to six years old) on your rig. The maintenance on RV’s is enormous like a boat. Great videos, my friend.
You need a 36-foot earthroamer with a diesel 7.3
Bobby, the boat is a bit more exciting than glamping , but which is more expensive?
8:06 Wilkerson Pass.
Love the cervelo! I am saving up to buy one just like it. Do you compete in any Ironamns or other tri's with it?
Don’t you have a drone to show sights from above? To show more visual. Thanks.
Bobby, How did you do with your Triathlon?
"We're gonna need a bigger boat. Uh...RV that is."
Great show, I sub'd. thanks
How much was that place per night?
Bobby great drone footage as always - what drone do you use?
Are you still trying to find someone to host? I have watched all sailing doodles. I have been a certified RV tech for 20 years. The Belize trip is awesome!
Funny my buddy owns the big Texans.

3rd....Bobby....Ebike.... how long to recharge?? What's the weight capacity?
Asking about the Tri bike.
Always entertained about an old neglected Class C Rv labeled Glamping RV. Bobby you need to do more than just put gasoline in your RV and spend a little $$ on your Bicycle if you want a dependable RV.
Music credits? & links !
Just a suggestion; buy a second battery for your ebike. Don't want to get stuck on accident;-)
You may of answered this many many times, but what is on your right wrist? Or if anyone else knows, please. Just curious.
where is the eye candy?
Most Colorado Wal-Mart's don't allow boondocking anymore.
Bob, remember pizza delivered in the Wal-Mart parking lot? Lmao.

Nothing you needed at Cabela's? How about a Colt45 for peace and safety?
Cracker barrel lets people park over night. also they have the greatest sampler platter in history of sampler platters

First comment! i have been trying for 3 years now! love the videos
Not uncommon for parks to have a rule about 10 year old RVs. The wave it if your rig is in good repair.
👋🏻Florida ☀️🌴🇺🇸🏕
Billy and Sierra just had their bikes stolen off the camper.
You don’t seem to be enjoying yourself too much.
Bobby try getting your hands on a indoor bicycle rack or stand, they have several to choose from. Electrical bicycles are pretty pricey.
What is the use of the subtitles in the same language as the one you are speaking. You are perfectly understandable. Just asking.
For people that can’t hear?
Thanks for the video Bobby. I'd love to take over on the RV for you?
This show needs a hottie or 2
Maybe rent one or two

Harder to get chicks in a camper.
Dump half not all no guaranties play it safe.
Pedigo Element $2,000 ??? Really? Anything over $500 would cause pause. Sh!t Bobby, that's how you know you're outta touch.
That would be a pain in the butt to have to put up with that attitude at a campground. We go camping to have fun and then have to go through that kind of noise. The parks should allow older campers that are maintained, I don't get that either.
Zip wheels are the best available and manufactured in Indy.
Be careful with bikes on regular roadways!! Folks getting killed ever day, by people texting, just not paying attention!!
Spandex Mafia not smart enough to yield to vehicles that can’t stop every day. I think that is called the Darwin Award.
Ummm...no fun to watch without the babes....
