  • We've been living in our 100 sq ft Lance 815 for almost two years now. There are so many wonderful memories we've made along the way, but we're also continuing to learn how to balance this lifestyle. We hope you'll enjoy a longer format, more realistic look at a day (or days) in our life. Could you live in a camper this small?

    Hey guys, great video. Amelia you didn't rate the bathroom and the shower!!! Yikes... LoL just kidding 😊
    Connor, I have something for you to try. ( Pull the positive cable, locate the (ECM ignition) fuse, pull that, reconnect the positive cable, turn on the ignition for 10 seconds, turn off, re- install the ECM fuse, turn key on then off. Then start engine.
    This will clear any and all codes . Then try your key fob.
    That way if you're blue tooth cooler did inter fear with the module, it should clear the error code.
    Thanks for taking us along on another great adventure.
    Stay safe ❤

      Thanks for the suggestion on the reset, I'll have to give that a shot. We haven't had any issues since moving the fridge but always glad to try something new!
      Hope you and Karal have a great week!

  • @mikegupguthrie-futurenomad7866

    Loved the intro! Great footage, editing and accompanying music!
    I really enjoyed your “reset” day as it show another side to the full time nomadic lifestyle! Not many YTers share their reset days and therefore those of us watching to learn the tips, tricks, hacks and in’s and out’s of this lifestyle only see the “rainbows and unicorns” of full time lifestyle!
    I haven’t been on YT regularly for the past couple of months and I have a lot of catching up to do as it seems a lot has gone on with you guy’s !
    As always, stay safe out there…..

    Another great video. When you guys decide to upgrade campers, the Arctic Fox Truck Campers by Northwood come standard with the dimmer switch for the lights just for Amelia, and with extra tall ceilings for Conner’s height. We have an Arctic Fox 865, which we just shared a video tour of the inside if you guys wanted to see the inside of one.

    • @LivingLargeCamping
      @LivingLargeCamping  Před 4 měsíci +1

      We love the 865 model! If we could find one a few years older we'd consider it for sure. Thanks for the comment!

    guys, great job on your latest video and thank you for always sharing your adventures with us! this video was really having me miss going on camping trips with my hubs & pup so we scheduled a camper trip for next week. :) We're in RI, so we typically go to NH, but would love to do a lil cross country action in the future. This is my first CZcams comment (I think ever) and I just have to say you guys had me in literal TEARS from laughing so hard at the bloopers. Laughing until no more sound came out because this was so spot on, lol!

    Hey guys, thanks for all you do! Being plugged in and not worrying about anything is Amazing on its own, especially after being primitive for awhile. We enjoy all of your videos because you guys show what it’s really like in the day to day of RV life. I personally like seeing the these type of videos. Some people don’t show anything about RV life and all about there adventures, which is fine, but you guys always include your RV into your videos. Even though the wife and I weren’t able to make a truck camper happen, but instead a travel trailer ordered 4 weeks ago, we still hope to have a truck camper at some point and Love watching videos about them. Keep doing you and I’m sure many will enjoy! Have a Great night!

  • @rickbuchanan5762
    @rickbuchanan5762 Před 4 měsíci

    Loved it. Glad you got to relax. And YES the fridge bluetooth can interfere with your remotes. Since your TPMS has been goofy, you need to watch that. If it continues go ahead and have your module replaced under warranty, the receiver in it has gotten weak. Happy Trails to you two!

    • @LivingLargeCamping
      @LivingLargeCamping  Před 4 měsíci

      Thanks Rick, we’ve been watching it close and no issues so far. We’ve got 1000 miles ahead of us the next couple days so plenty of opportunity for the sensor to fault it its going to!

    On filling the truck with gas. I have heard more than once to keep a minimum of a quarter tank to keep the fuel pump covered in gas since that is what cools the fuel pump.

    • @LivingLargeCamping
      @LivingLargeCamping  Před 4 měsíci

      Interesting info, we usually fill up as right when the light comes on if not a few gallons before. So probably around that 1/4 range!

    Yes, we have a Dodge and the same issue. Don’t different states have requirements to decide s propane is not usable? Where did you get that football candle? A lot of campgrounds have outside sinks and water to do dishes, usually attached to the shower house. More videos like this. Thanks.

    So, we just noticed that the jacks are permanently attached to the camper now. Seems it was not always like this. More efficient use of storage space by leaving them in place? B&B.

    • @LivingLargeCamping
      @LivingLargeCamping  Před 4 měsíci

      We’ve always left them on this camper, but used to remove on the old pop up camper. We don’t have a spot to efficiently store them in the truck so we just leave them on in case we need to remove the camper. Good eye!

    Just wanted to give you a heads up. I’ve been Unsubscribed from your channel 3 times now. It also happens to other channels I follow. Not sure what’s going on with you tube, but you might want to remind subscribers to check if they’re still subscribed. Strange situation! 😡

  • @SherriP
    @SherriP Před 4 měsíci +1

    Everyone who thinks or feels God doesn't care, is indifferent and or mean etc ….
    Why is the world as it is, evil everywhere…
    where is God and His faithfulness…
    God does judge sin which is evil and if people don't stop sinning they will die for that disobedience,that sin. When God said if you take from that tree you will die He was saying if you disobey, you sin, I will punish that sin because God does punish it, sickness, demons and death. And if you keep sinning I will punish you to the point of death, is that punishment. Sickness is a consequence of sin and it is a judgement God makes upon the people for their sin. All sickness takes its toll on the body and will result in death unless you stop sinning and that brings a reward from God for the righteous decision to stop sinning that brought that illness. Throughout scripture God tells us these things. God does love and there is mercy in His punishment too. He chastises those He loves. His wrath doesn't mean He doesn't love, it doesn't mean there is no mercy, it means He puts His law first and He obeys it first. He punished sin and then punishes sin and so forth and if someone doesn't stop sinning or sins more then that judgment is death just as He said, sin is death. Scripture says we are all responsible for working out our salvation with fear and trembling. Seek scripture, learn who He is and what He said to obey and do it. if you obey Him you live in blessings just like Deuteronomy 28 says and it also says disobedience is curses, that's sickness, demons possibly and again to continue in sin results in death.
    God told all the details, and paid for us to get out of sin and how we should live and when people don't live righteous then the world looks like it did in the days of Noah, violence, drunkenness and such lovers of self, pleasure and all sin and life apart from God, life in disobedience to God. Why should He bless sin? He punishes it then punishes sin more if someone keeps sinning. Is it tough people die from that choice they make, their sin and lack of seeking God to obey what He said, yes it hurts. How do you think God feels, He loved the world so much He gave His only begotten son and Yeshua died in agony for us to be out of that sin, taking God's wrath upon Himself so how do I think He feels, grieved so grieved but I know from scripture He always obeys what His word says, He never changes and that includes every word He said. Now Yeshua took God's wrath upon Himself for our sin Isaiah 53. We get peace with God and can come before Him to be heard and we get to be cleansed from our iniquities, sin. Just like the lamb sacrifices in the old testament Jesus was that for us a peace offering and forgiveness offering. We get freedom from that sinful past, from that sin and we get our healings because His stripes healed us from the consequences of sin.
    He gave us a way out. A way to start again out of that wrath. How loving is that God gave us His son who took God's wrath for us out of love. How loving just how loving is our God who made a way for us to be out of that wrath? Wrath we deserved by our sin and continued sin. But God so loved the world He gave us Yeshua. Yeshua gave His life to rise to life for us to give us new life. A new creation to begin again a new life, having been born again. Having received forgiveness for sin and a pardon from God's wrath, that very wrath you talk about. But God gave us a way out of His wrath when Yeshua our lamb paid for our sin. Again how loving is that our way out of God's wrath. Our new life. Our second chance to live rightly before our Holy righteous God our being born again to live right because God planned for us to not all receive His wrath yet His son for everyone, one for everyone and a way out, pardoned and free to live life righteous whole healed delivered, how loving oh so very loving that is. All that is in scripture too. Seek and find, learn who He is and obey and see more of it. Mark 4:24 the more you obey God the more He reveals to you, it means that. Matthew 6:33 live it daily and understand who He is and just how loving He always is and honestly how loved you are will be seen felt and KNOWN too. 💕 May you come to understand Him all your days seeking and finding and growing in the knowledge of God in Yeshua's name 💕
