Normally I watch the ads on your videos to help support the channel, but I cannot wait until after tomorrow when this election is over. I wonder if they realize nobody is changing their vote from a RUclips ad the week before the election.
I've quit watching all my RUclips shows (except 2, Eric & Kevin) until this political feeding frenzy of liars is over.
I subscribed because you tube is my main entertainment, groan, but its $13 a month so no ads....this is when its really worth it.
Eric, I may have to try the baby DW. Looks pretty awesome. Thanks for the ride!!
Many elections are determined by folks who change opinions every time the wind blows,they have problems making decisions so both political party's go after them right up to election date
I'm ad free with the Vanced app on my Android phone.
I think it depends on what you’re watching. I never see political ads on any videos from any creators.
Tire pressure changes with altitude changes.
And temperature 🤷♂️
Gotta use nitrogen
@@cecerotti Air is already 78% nitrogen. It doesn't hurt, though, if there's no water vapor and other gasses in the tire.
Cosmic Campground is a dark sky sanctuary, hosting star gazers, hence “cosmic.” I should take my scope there someday.
Gila National Forest = "Heela" as in Gila Monster. And your tire pressure changes with the elevation - it'll rise if you go up and decrease as you go down because air expands as it rises and contracts when it descends.
Thank you!
I figured someone would have shared that with him by now, but cringed on hearing it again in this video. You beat me to it 👍
Wow. Thank you for that information. I had no idea. Where I lived they had 'Heela' Gila Monsters.
@@mkvampire88 I have never heard of Gila Monsters and still don't quite understand. What is it specifically?
I hope he see's this comment. It makes no sense for it to go up except for your description.
The view from the drone really gives your videos a very nice touch esp when your leaving
Agreed!! 👍
GilaNational Forest pronounced HEELA not a hard G…Spanish word.
Safe Travels Eric. We made it to Texas thru all the tornadoes. As always Luv n Hugs to you Eric, Tara, and Opie. Heavenly hugs to Jax!!!
Its "HEE la" national forest by the way. Would love to camp their some day. Enjoy NM.
😂😂😂 It always cracks me up when I hear these pronunciations. Growing up and living most of my life in the desert southwest there are a lot of them. In all fairness, he is probably just repeating what he heard GPS say.
It’s Hee-La not GIL-A national forest, like in gila monster reptile. With love
Thank you, it’s been driving me nut to hear Eric’s pronunciation!
Saw your bald head in your phone when you were checking you download and upload speeds!….just show your head…it probably looks good!
You should get a ball drilled at a pro shop so you can curve the ball. It will change everything for you and make it alot more fun to go bowling
High PSI can be the result of heat. Maybe, use an infra red thermometer to check for excessive wheel temp. That can happen because of bearing failure or dragging brake.
Check the Max PSI on your tires, going up 4-5 psi during the peak of the day won't do any harm.
Good to see you back on the road! If you rent bowling balls be sure to wash your hand ass there is some really nasty stuff in the finger holes! 🤢🤮…..cheers!
Tire pressures *DO* get higher as you drive at higher elevations. The air is thinner there (but not so much that you can't breathe) & warm tires create higher pressure to begin with....so it is what it is! Possibly that side of the car was facing the sun most of the time?? That'll do it too. ☀
Gila is pronounced as Hee-la. As in Gila Monster (Hee-La Monster). Common mistake from people not from the Southwest. 😆 🤙🏽
I can't take it anymore.🤪 You keep saying Gila mountains wrong (hee-la"). Think Gila monster! Thank you for this short intermission🤣😄... Have a great trip Eric
Eric, being the Pizza loving guy you are you need to spend next summer in NJ for a little bit. Hands down some of the best pizza in the USA and you cant beat a jersey bar pie nice and thin and crispy.
trust us viewers..we don't mind at ALL where you go for content, new places, new experienceses...still love the music you use, sad piano makes me think of Jax, metal music nice, let's keep going!
Hi Eric never let air out of your tire unless it's over inflated when the tire is cold. The psi naturally goes up when you are driving but because you let air out that tire will be under inflated when it cools.
Hi Pressure is usually from increased heat. If it's just one tire and the temperature is grossly higher than the other tires, it's possible a brake is rubbing or that wheel is out of alignment.
If the sun is shining on the tire that will also increase PSI more than the shaded side.
@@PaulMSabol True. Even early in the morning when the sun has only been up for 15 minutes it can make a degree or two of difference. That said, sun usually affects two tires or even three at a time if the sun is hitting the car at an angle. It rarely only strikes one tire at a time unlee there's shade involved from a structure or object. When driving, you'd expect tires to increase in temperature in some type of pattern. My front tires tend to be a little warmer due to toe-in causing a little extra friction. The side the sun is on can also cause two or three tires to be warmer. That said, if you have one tire getting dramatically hotter than the rest, there may be something wrong there, like a brake pad/shoe not releasing all the way or something.
Couldn’t bad wheel bearings also generate excess heat?
@@KRT045 Yes. I mentioned brakes, but just as an example, not exclusively. I'm sure there are things we aren't thinking about, but bearings starting to fail could definitely cause overheating.
@@brianvandy4002 absolutely that’s why I mentioned it. One more thing to potentially check.
Eric...I can't believe you were in Deming, NM! That's where I grew up. I left 35 years ago and never looked back. We never had that cool of a bowling alley when I grew up. It's changed so much there!
Tire pressure will usually read about 5 or so psi more once tires warmed up, so be aware of that. Will also go up with elevation, and you were up 8k feet. May need set alarm a little higher. Be sure to air all 4 up cold in the morning. Loved the bowling 🎳 alley looked like a fun time and 172! Holy cow u musta been on a "roll" 👍
I always get a chuckle when I 👀 tater tot being towed behind your rv. I envision a slew of midgets climbing out whenever you pullover. Kinda like the clown packed car in a circus. 🤡 🚙
Gila (HEE-la) National Forest
Hello there Eric Tara and Opie Its nice to see you enjoying your time on roads again enjoying your time outdoors there is so much to see and do. This awesome country we love. That was a cool place to have lunch and fun 😀 happy to see you got your Tires fixed. Take your time getting there.. love seeing your furbabies.. hope one day to have lunch with you here in Amarillo Texas love to see your furbabies. Give Tara and Opie a hug Stay safe out there on the roads Take care God bless. Thanks for taking us along with you everywhere you go we appreciate it. Your friends Gerry and Pat from Amarillo Texas. 🐱🐱🐱🐱
you could eliminate tire problems with a car dolly
We carry a collapsible 5 gallon jug with us. If short on water, we can fill it at any restroom or faucet. Can be used as needed. And if you want to make a few trips back and forth, you can fill your RV tank a bit too.
You are back to looking "Happy" again!! Safe Travels ............ AND, remember to enjoy life!! ;~)
Just got back from trip to Lake Havasu - back to Texas.....had a couple of nights in NM and AZ that got down into the 20s!! I haven't been very good at chasing 70 lol!! Safe travels!
Kitties are dang cute!
♡♡♡♡♡ I love you Eric, but its Hee-la (Gila), not Gill-la. Like Gila (heela) Bend, AZ, like Gila (hee-la) monster reptile. Or Gila (hee-la) River. Gila in spanish is feminine for idiot, lol. Enough pronunciation lesson. And... I'm aware after all these years you may be trying to stir up viewer interaction. 😉
My older sister's friends work for Escapees and ran that property in Demming last winter. Odd coincidence. They get to choose differentvpark assignments, so they're in Texas this winter.
Safe travels. Good weather. Beware the dinosaurs! 🦖 🦕 Chase that sun!! Concho got more snow as you likely know. Brrr.
Hello 👋 kitties!
Be blessed
Hey Eric, there is this little white car that keeps tailgating you! LOL Love your videos, safe travels
There was me thinking lemon water followed by two cups of coffee in the morning was overkill!
omg I didn't even know I needed to be Rick Rolled on a Monday at 10:59am!- it's raining and cold in the PNW right now- have fun!
I had to write a comment. I enjoy watching your video's and you have my kind of humor, but I also ❤️❤️❤️ love so many other things about you, that we have in common! I collect, enjoy bowling (but don't have anyone to bowl with), and I 💖💖💖 love Rick Astley! Keeping this one. Your SO cute. 💖🥰💖 love to you and the kitties.
38psi seems a bit high for that size tire, should be 30-32psi
I wish I was with you... I need this kind of travel... Some Real camping.. seeing new stuff but mostly... I need someone to travel with. It just makes things funner!! I just don't have the money either right now to do what I want. Ugh. 🥴🥺😭
Hey Eric, if you happen to find yourself in the Corpus Christi area...I would love to meet up and buy you lunch.
I have been following you from the very beginning and have watch your channel grow. It's different with Jax gone but Opie has his spirit and personality. Let me know what you think! It would be awesome for me, I have always been a huge fan!!! I would love to meet and hang out with you!
Greetings to all. I came across another Nomadic type channel and I think you guys would absolutely love..Its called" Earth to Krissie" Im gonna make a very bold statement that she could be the Nomad Queen if she sticks with it. Everthing about her channel is awesome. You guys have a wonderful and blessed day!!🤜🤛🙏
It is 80° F near Asheboro North Carolina. I am running My small window air conditioner and the Humidity was 90% last night. I don't think it rained, but with the Humidity so high, I am surprised that it's not raining.
Have you checked rest areas? Most rest areas I've seen have a dump and water fill station. Or were there just none in the area?
That's great that alarm alerted you. Nice when things work!! Nice drive. Exactly, the fence is so no one ruins them, so others can enjoy them without graphics. Pretty neat stop with fun, and eats. Kitties run out to see you, so sweet. 🙂👍
Eric idc I think that dishwasher looks pimp!! I'm envious! and would give room for one! I'll wait for your newest review, seems like you like it tho!
Great video! We'll see you soon!!
Eric, WHATEVER YOU DO> DONT go down RT 68 that goes from near Globe to Phoneix. I made that mistake its INSANE and def not made for RV's its like 46 miles of grades upto 12%. Ive never seen a more terrifying road in America lol
I love the first song you played 👍🏼Give babies hugs from Denver co ✌️😎 Deive safe keep.warm
We’ve stayed at cosmic campground. No white noise and only red lights at night. Beautiful views of the Milky Way. Bring you telescope. Have tripod areas to video the night sky.
After leaving cosmic, dumped at the Escapees campground. Great memories
Cosmic Campground is named that because it's in a dark skies area where you have a very clear view of the night sky and no light pollution. Great for night photography like meteor showers, Milky Way and star tracking photography.
Please, please, please buy a towing platform if that option is truly viable. If It is not a viable or realistic option then please disregard comment. Thank you.
I know you know but have to say anyway lol.. Hot tire could be because of a break hanging up or a wheel bearing going bad... hope neither prob with your car.. Just my two cents mechanical advice .. great vids.. keep it up.. love the area you are in now.
Deming is where I have property outside of MN. I love Deming it’s a great community
Gila is Spanish and it is pronounced (hee-luh) like the Gila Monster which gets its name from the Gila River that runs through the Gila National Forest.
Another awesome adventure that tire pressure system seems to work really nice. Glad to see you finding some warmer weather. Have fun and enjoy the kitties
Howdy I like your channel but your killing me saying gila.its not gilla it's he-la,safe travels stay safe.
ERIC" just from experence .anytime you go high alatudes to low your tire prussure will add automatically. this happen to me in vegas as red rock canyon is high up .i don t think its nothing to be alarmed about other than that front end aligment might be out on the tator tot with all the froce of the camper. be careful in those remote places with all the border crossings.
Enjoyed the video Eric. FYI... Gila is pronounced "hee-lah"!
Interesting stuff. I’m always surprised at what I don’t know about RV traveling.
Cosmic is an International Dark Sky Park. Also, higher altitudes leads to higher psi.
Love this area, but New Mexico gets surprisingly cold
hee-luh, hee-luh, hee-luh National Forest, just like hee-luh Bend, az,,,, Gila and Gila are the same.
Thanks for the videos Eric.
Gila is pronounced He La
Safe travels
FYI- GILA is pronounced------ He La. The G is an H sound. Good video Eric.
I am sure someone has mentioned this... Gila is pronounced "He la" I have followed you for some years. Enjoy your channel. I was raised in New Mexico, great place!!!
RLMBO - I love that song, Eric! LOL! Have a safe & fun adventure. Aloha!
Eric just get a flat bed trailer for smart car to tow just a thought
Back on the road, love it!
OMG😂😂😂😂 stealth mode on the jukebox! Love it!
BTW, Gila would be pronounced "heela". G in Spanish is pronounced as an H.
I live in New Mexico and looked up the Cosmic Campground. It is a Dark Sky Sanctuary with pads set up for telescopes. Words from the federal website stated: "Cosmic Campground International Dark Sky Sanctuary (CCIDSS) is the first International Dark Sky Sanctuary located on National Forest System lands and also in North America. It is also one of only 14 certified IDA Sanctuaries in the world. International Dark Sky Sanctuaries are lands possessing an exceptional or distinguished quality of starry nights." Eric, what a neat find to return to at another time. Hugs to the kitties.
Nice! We've been to "star parties" before at a couple of those areas. Bring your own telescope &/or look through others' more professional setups, learn about the cosmos & enjoy hot cocoa! Amazing when major celestial events are occurring!☄️🌘🪐🌠🤩✌️
The exhaust on the intro becomes funny if it comes from tater tot it becomes really quirky that is pushing
Oh, and I am mesmerized by seeing your travels from the view from far above! 🥰 From a drone?
It looks like it's all down hill from here, unless you decide to go uphill again, now that you have had a chance to fill up on water, fuel and food🙂
I like bowling alone, it gives me a better chance of winning😉
It looks like your tire pressure sensors are paying for themselves already, good save on that front tire, you don't need to be going through that again👍🙂
Happy Trails🤠
eggs n bacon lovely cool day out with you thanks mate hi Terra Opie never going to give you up or let you down now the tunes stuck in my head
Thanks for the info on the nm escapees park! We are currently at north ranch. We had a high pressure on our steer tire of our 30k lb diesel pusher. That would have been catastrophic if it blew!
The hikers are on the CDT, continental divide trail. Runs southern NM to Canada
74 degrees on Eastern Shore of Maryland! I'll take it. Did you hear me cheer for that strike? Adore the dishwasher. Safe travels!
Eric that was great man safe travels
You have a lot of good content, Eric. Don't clickbait...
For a car that spends a lot of time in tow, and eating away on the tires. Here is what I would see wildcat oil workers do. Have your city driving set of wheels and tires, and your towing set. Its a bit more labor wise, but you will easily extend the life of the good tires, by triple. Basically its four used tires, filled with slime, for the random punctures. Just an idea, but, you know whats best for you. Good luck
Great video. Looking forward to the next episode. Thanks Don
Filling the tire to capacity with cold air on a cold day. Then the road warms it up and, wallah... OP.
Altitude changes can also affect tire psi!
Just sayin', it's pronounced HEE-la.
Hey Eric, what was the name of the all in one Nintendo 64 cartridge? I can’t seem to find it in the past video. Thanks! Keep on living the dream my friend.
It's called "Everdrive 64" by krixx
Your Opie is like my Opal....I have to carry treats to her. 😄
My kitties like when I toss them treats! They "chase" & "kill" them! One is very good at catching them between her little paws! I didn't even teach her!🙀 So cute❣️ Sometimes I hide treats in "puzzle" feeders so they can hunt, too!😺
You are my favorite channel, thanks for sharing and as always stay safe, safe travels, and God bless love ya Nancy
You're the best!
Hi Eric I do not travel it stresses me out when I see you having a problem but I love your video I live in Huntington Beach California I’m at the beach every day with my RV it’s perfect. Where the sun shines every day except for today it’s raining the temperature is beautiful here year around we have everything campground dump water trash ocean bike ride surfing take care be well💕👍
Huntington Beach is an awesome place. Visited there several years ago.
@@Firestone1 yes
@@ricci5395 I love it too it’s so easy to do van life here For the most part your vehicle has to be under 20 foot
At Dockweiler State beach?
Ha ha! A Rick-roll never goes outta style!!
Opie is so spoiled he wants room service from his human servant Eric when it's time to eat, lol
Eric, just fyi, Gila’ pronounced as ‘heela’
You’re at a higher altitude. That’s why your tire pressure is higher.
Eric Starmax is right out my window wish I knew ahead of time to do a meetup
RICK ROLL WARNING. I was doing good and you got me.
Glad you had a fun place to play and eat
Safe travel to the next place
Hoping for a HUGE RED WAVE TODAY !!!
Hey Eric I loved the music that you put in your video.
Me too!
Thanks. It's just another part of putting the video together that I love. Sometimes I try a dozen songs before I find the right feel. And sometimes, like video prior to this, I use 5 different songs in one video cut up differently
great video -😊sunny new mexico 😊
How do you make your little cartoon guy what editing program are you using? Great video! keep it up !
Great video...
HEEE-lah, HEEE-lah.. not Gill-lah...SMH....
