Two Tired Teachers
Registrace 20. 03. 2017
We are sisters with a combined total of 60+ years of teaching experience, and we are tired. One of the best ways we've found to let go of the stress of dealing with teenagers is to take out the RV. This channel will share some of our experiences and things we learned through trial and error.

There is a town that the Bible mentions called Jericho, and most people have heard of Jericho. "Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, and the walls came tumbling down." Not long after Jericho is another town called Ai. As the Israelites were preparing to go into Jericho, God warned Joshua. God told him to tell the people all of the gold and silver is God's. He was very specific, telling Joshua to tell the people don't look at the gold and silver; don't take it.
Joshua sent some spies to check out Ai. It was just a little town, so Joshua saw no need to send a bunch of troops to overtake them. He just sent 2,000 or 3,000 men. Ai should have been an easy victory, but the Israelites got there, and they started running back to Joshua. Thirty-six people were killed.
Joshua goes before God, and questions Him? Why didn't we have victory? God explained that Israel had turned their backs on God; they'd some of the things that God had told them not to. God tells Joshua, and Joshua tells the people, "You cannot stand before your enemies until you remove the things that are under the ban from your midst, "
Sharon doesn't like admitting it, but sometimes she wants God to be like a genie. When she gets in trouble, she says, "God, come help me." When she gets in a bad situation, she cries, "God, deliver me from this!" While those are both good and fine prayers, Sharon questions whether she might be in those troubling situations because she's held onto things that God has told her to get rid of. Is she harboring bitterness for someone? Is she angry with someone? Is she losing her temper?
Sharon says she can't hold onto a wrong attitude. Hating someone and saying she loves God isn't compatible. Sometimes we're just like Joshua. We run to God asking why this is happening. Sometimes we need to take a self-inventory to find out what things we are holding onto that God is telling me to let go of.

Why Does God Allow Pain?

Why does God Allow Pain? People often wonder why God allows bad stuff to happen to us. They wonder why this life hurts so much. It may not be true for everyone, but for me, it took a whole lot of pain for God to get my attention. I became a Christian when I was eight. When I got to be 19 or 20, a full fledged adult who knew a lot, I fell away, and I fell hard. There was a lot of sin in my life....

Great video! I was thinking I would have to replace my water pump until I saw this. Easy solution that worked! Thanks so much!
I just passed you on the highway in Eagle River
@@thetrudean0796 Very cool. If we're ever stopped at the same place, we would love to meet you.
Yes, how can I walk in God’s power and Love if I’m holding onto lower things of my flesh and letting those dominate me instead of Him
@@WhereToLillian That is sometimes a hard lesson to learn.
Hearing Faith cant transfer by vanity to another. Platitude faith in other guys work.
God definitely uses you to help put things in focus! Amen and God bless you.
@@danielp.621 Thank you.
Always impressed by y’alls ability to dry camp. I would be interested in your dry camping setup to be comfortable. I always envision dry camping being an in between sort of situation, so that you eventually get to go to a full hookup and catch up bathing, water, sewer, etc. I would be interested to see how you all do it.
@@luisreviews6412 Because of the solar setup we have now, we honestly don't need hookups. We take quick showers, and we carry 8 one gallon water jugs to supplement our fresh water tank. Last year we were gone for six weeks and never had hookups. When we are in a state or national park, we will use their dump stations and fresh water. We also look on I Overlander and Compendium to find free dumps and water.
It’s nice to see you girls still enjoy your trailer! We’ve been watching for a long time and it’s been a great “journey” with you! We now have our own Winnebago (Travato) and really are enjoying our travel. Thanks for all the great videos and the info you share! 😁🤙⛺️
@@discoveringlockenest8420 You just made our day. Thank you so much for your kind words.
Worrying about something? When God said put your cares on him?
Woowee!!! Good stuff, sister!!!
@@lisafranklin2173 Thank you!
God is not a slot machine or a genie. Neither is He an accuser. We must be careful not to be an accuser of others or of self. Life is just hard because we are not God and it’s not anyone’s fault. Even ourselves. Forgiveness of self first and of others second (if they ask). Vengeance is the lords. Bitterness is ok and even fruitful. Bitterness is not the same as vengeance.
Amen, A very good lesson!
@@garyb4929 Thank you for the comment.
Well said!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on 5 years and a big thank you for being so generous with all the tips and tricks. Can’t tell you how much your insights have helped with our Micro Minnie. Keep living your best life ladies.
@@nancykeeneysmith604 The reason we started the channel when we'd only been RVing for two and a half years is because we thought we might be able to help people. Thanks for telling us that we've given you some useful tips.
A very thought provoking question. Thank you for taking the time, making the effort to ask it. There's much truth to ponder. God Bless. God speed in your journey.
We do so appreciate your comment.
Just what I needed to hear today, Thank you !!

Amen! Amen! I am guilty of this too many times than I want to admit. Thank you for sharing the reminder from the LORD!!❤️❤️❤️
@@juliespencer2588 I think we're all guilty of these things.
Sometimes the truth is hard to hear. This one felt like the one I needed to hear today. We can always come up with narratives to substantiate the unforgiveness we sometimes carry when in reality, we need to just let it go. Bitterness has ugly roots. Forgiveness is the key. Thank you for this post today.
@@Herk988 Thanks for watching. Also, thanks for the comment. I think a lot of us let bitterness take root.

@@mariaperham1851 Thank you so much!
I'm wondering if you have ever taken the trailer through a weigh scale, to check if you are over weight with all the add ons.
@@rvhtravels We weighed it several years ago, and we are traveling with the same basic stuff now as we were then. The solar and batteries are new since we weighed it, so it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to weigh it again. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for your updated review. I have been enjoying watching your modifications & following your adventures in it. Back in 2018 I almost got a different version of this model but went a different route. So it’s been fun 🤩 see what you’re up to in it. I was even able to show a friend how you put the big dog crate under the bed as a solution. Safe travels.
@@karinhart489 We know you've been watching the videos for a while because you are so kind to comment frequently. We do appreciate that. The cat perch with a scratching post beneath it has saved the furniture.
Nice video. I started watching your channel a few years ago because we bought a micro mini also. We just traded it in and bought a short 5th wheel. We love our new camper BUT ! I do miss our mini. It was well constructed very easy to trave with & didn't need a powerful truck to hall it. Thank you for all your videos. I hope your mini last another 5 years. I hope someday you meet you two. Safe travels and God bless.
@@danielp.621 Since we painted the mini, we will be easy to spot. If you ever see us, please come talk with us. We love meeting our viewers.
Glad you're happy with it. You made it yours. Mine's a 2016 about the same size as yours (Heartland Linx 18LX) and due tires and an awning. Just replaced my water pump. Had trouble with the toilet and water heater a few times. Great layout and a rear bath that takes the whole back of the camper with plenty of storage.
@@bertkelly7650 Bert, we just replaced the tires, but the time is coming for us to replace the awning. We can commiserate with you when that time comes.
Two things. The factory runs these so just fill with oil and run it. 2nd, do not run a generator for any period of time without a load. You are not breaking in an engine without a load on it and if you are going to let it just run you need to put some kind of load from the start.
@@jdskycaster3576 Thanks for the tip.
Thank you for the info! have a question I have never addressed. When in a hard sided RV in a campground where bear boxes are provided, do RVers place all food and smellables in the bear box as a tent camper would? I have done much backpacking/tent camping in bear areas and am very familiar with the protocol for that type of camping, but I haven’t heard it addressed by an RVer. I do believe that a determined bear could tear through a hard sided camper if the reward (food) was great enough…
@@randypetty3066 We don't. If the food is in the van or trailer, it should be fine. Our rule of thumb is if it would make us more comfortable, we do it. Great question!
I can’t wait to see videos of where y’all are now. 😊
@@TessieMayo They should start around the beginning of November.
Great info. Hoping to get there someday. Thanks. Looking forward to your other videos on this NP.
@@lizchilders4154 We hope you get to see this park. It was a fantastic place to visit.
Thank you for sharing!
@@mindystrano4402 Thanks for your comment, sweet girl.
It is the only way I camp! I have done it for 7 yrs. I love it.
@@sherryhicks4156 We feel the same way.
It’s definitely cool. I just did some dispersed camping in my truck down in AZ and UT recently. I like it a lot although for another trip across the country, I might invest in a small trailer one day. Having a shower option, more battery capacity, and a more organized kitchen area would be nice. I also like how frugal it could be. It can be the cost of gas and food and that’s pretty much it. Very low barrier of entry as well.
@@CR03_Outdoor_Adventures Our travel trailer fits us perfectly. Remember that you always have the option of renovating it if it isn't just what you want. You might take a look at what we did to ours to make it perfect for us.
Unfortunately, most fires here in California are caused by the Homeless.
Hello Ladies, we've been watching you for the last few years. The information you share is very helpful as we are traveling to some of the places you have visited. We use dispersed camping 98 percent of the time. However, we tried two of the places you gave coordinates for, but they didn't bring us to the areas you described. Can you please give us further information?
@@maryharrington1962 What are the places? We'd be glad to try.
@@TwoTiredTeachers we would like to stay in the area you described in this vlog.
Watch those bears.
@@our12silly We always carry bear spray.
Will y’all do any fishing in the river?
@@EllaMinnowPeaNess If we've got licenses for the area it's a guarantee Sharon will fish. I fish some, but not like my sister..
Do you reserve this?
@@janethunt4037 No. We find places by using IOverlander or Campendium. Those websites will tell you if it is a free place to camp or if a nominal fee is charged. That's the reason Sharon lists more than one spot where we might like to stay.
I hope you ladies are armed.
Our son and his family moved to Weatherford last year. We’ve visited twice since the beginning of the year and love the area. Mineral Wells is a cool little town. Have you been to the fossil park there?
Spent many a night on sites without any hookups. It may be surprising to some just how few luxuries we actually need to be reasonably comfortable. Especially for relatively short periods of time, in good weather! All we have to do is picture what our forefathers didn't have to get a small idea. I was born on a pre-grid farm, in the days before REA brought power lines across our land. So vault toilets, sponge baths, dishpans and church fans, just seemed to be normal. Thank you!
@@oldtimerlee8820When we were about 6 and 8, we went to a church where you used church fans.
great video, Thanks Don
@@daviscrt Thanks, Don.
I know you ladies are from Texas. I hope Beryl didn't hit you and all is well.
@@karenwilliams1458 We are in Central Texas. As a matter of fact, we are in the geographic center of TX. Other than getting rain caused by tropical storms or hurricanes, we are too far away for them to cause damage. Thanks for asking about us. We do appreciate it.
The question isn't why...It's "Why Not". With those views, we would do it every day. We love dispersed camping The only problem for us is, that area is in bear country. So no dispersed tent camping.🙁
@@BootsandJeansRiders Where they are serious about bear, they tell you no tents and hard sided campers only.
Ladies, thank you for your videos. I have been full-time RVing for a year and I have been encouraged by watching your videos. My daughter went off to college two years ago and I now work from my RV. The only drawback to what I have been doing in the past year, is that I really miss my church and church family when I am traveling and the learning curve. I started off visiting state parks and am hoping to begin boondocking soon. Have you ever though of getting a few ladies together together for a trip or a learning trip? God Bless.
@@melindabaker1033 It never occurred to us, but it might be something we'd consider.
@@TwoTiredTeachers if you ever do, please let me know. Thank you and God Bless.
Awesome ladies! Campers are pretty much set up for dry camping right out of the box. Your converter can run lights, awning, heater fan, water pump and jack(s). Gas can run the fridge and heat. The tow vehicle can charge the battery. The only thing you need a generator for is for aircon.
@@bertkelly7650 We took care of that with a small portable AC.
Developed camp grounds
Question!! Do you unhook and leave your camper on the side of the road and go in and check things out first to see if there’s a spot or if it’s do able when looking for a spot or do you pull your camper with you when you’re looking for a spot when trying to find a spot
@@ronaldbeach8724 Remember that we have ebikes. If we aren't sure there will be room to turn around, we take the bikes to check it out before driving into a spot .
Do you find you run out of power? Or do you have an awesome lithium battery bank and several solar panels? Will people get mad if you need to run your generator in dispersed camping? I mean for like an hour a day to charge our batteries. We just got our RV about 6 months ago. We've been camping at site with hookups so far. But would like to try dispersed camping one day. That is a gorgeous spot you found!
@@laus7504 We upgraded our solar, so we have 8 panels on the roof of our trailer and 2 400 amp hour lithium batteries. We don't run out of power. People will be fine if you run your generator during the day. With dispersed there is nothing that says you have to ever turn it off, but you won't be really popular if you run it nonstop. In campgrounds, you'll often have certain hours when you can run it.
