    ℹ️About the episode:
    Getting the RV washed while on the road is a pain (and expensive) which is why we were excited to hear that we could do it for $67 and only 15 minutes. Blue Beacon is not a sponsor, really, but we quickly became fans. To be fair, this is just to get the dirt and grime off. RV's need a proper wash and wax to prevent oxidation and sun damage, but the Blue Beacon is perfect for sprucing up the rig on the way to a family reunion.
    Speaking of family, this is the third annual family reunion. RVing is the best way to visit family. If you're due for a family reunion, this video shares some tips and tricks to make it memorable.

    I am a truck driver and watched this episode just to see your experience at the Blue Beacon. Liked your comment about truck stops not being a big deal, because they're really not. Glad to see a RV channel that does not show or imply truck stops (and truckers) are scary and need to be avoided at all costs.

    A nice dense material for pads for tires and jacks are the rubber horse stall mats. They are 3/4” thick and virtually indestructible. Pretty easily cut to size with a shop knife. Another advantage is they don’t easily slide on gravel or concrete like the plastic ones do

    Just a couple of cautions when using Blue Beacon or any other "high pressure" wash systems: Make sure all of your vents are closed. This includes putting some sort of tape over your stove vent, refridge vent, heater, vent, and hotwater heater vent. Tape all the drains on all of your windows. Cover up your generator vent if you have one. I use a piece of reflectix on the inside vent covering the generator. Do not use your generator or appliances for a few hours after the wash, as water can get into the electronics. That's how I ruined my generator. I had to get a new circuit board because it shorted out as I tried to fire it up right after having Blue Beacon wash my rig. Again they do a good job but it is not a hand wash.

Thanks for the video and reminding me of the good old days from High school!

We are seriously thinking about selling our house & buying a 5th wheel toy hauler & truck. My husband works construction & moves around a lot.

Gotta take it to the Dealer today to get a couple things taken care of then the fun counts down to my Birthday weeks trip. Two weeks of fun in Illinois, Tennessee, and Missouri.

    I’m sorry you went there, they use acid (601 aluminum brightner) to clean it. You can tell them no acid, but there is still some in there lines when they wash it. It’s designed for large trucks. Your wax is gone. It may look clean but it will take a toll on your finish. It’s cheap for a reason. Love you channel. Just went to Yogi Bear, Tabor City, NC.

You will learn the lingo the more times you use them. My wife thinks it is a hoot every time we get a wash. Enjoys seeing some of the more custom rigs .We also enjoy your channel.

    I did a Camp Host job and we had empty spaces, but we were full. Some times people pay/reserve a space for longer periods to get a cheaper rate, but they leave earlier. Also some people go to do something else for a few nights and come back to the spot they are paying for. The Campground can’t put someone else in those spots not knowing if the people paying for the spot might come back.

    Beautiful family--God bless! As for Blue Beacon, fast, easy place to get rig washed (only the sides...they don't do roofs). BUT...before driving off, do a walk around the rig. Last time I took my RV to them, they nocked off a marker light's lensecap. They must have noticed it, but kept quiet. I didn't notice till I was 30 mi down the road.

    When you don't speak southern understanding anyone at that car was challenging. My family are originally from Maine.

Southern people are real friendly so they usually don't mind you asking again.

I seen your newbie things to do and dont, not sure if maybe I missed one but I thought I'd share what I learnt today first thing in the morning. This morning I had to empty our tanks as they were full. Thinking nothing of this I get my hose ready crawl under my slide out cause cause that's where the valves are. And thinking cause law here would be black tanks are closed when traveling and we had our trailer delivered to our lot, I pop off the cap to the drain loan behold the black tank was wide open.... good morning Kyle. moral of my story always double check that those valves are closed before that cap comes off.

We have since upgraded to an F450 platinum and have never regretted the upgrade. To keep the wife happy you should make the same upgrade. Towing with the F450 is no different than just driving the truck around it’s like the RV isn’t even back there. Glad you’re back in America.

    Wish I would have followed you sooner. When you stayed in Little Rock, only about 10 minutes from our home. You missed the flooding though. The river RV park you stayed was 4-5 feet under water.

    Absolutely most informative and entertaining video blog on CZcams. Given that I was born in the early ‘50’s loved the comment about reunions and the “funny clothes of the ‘80’s...apparently someone missed the 60’s. BTW, great family, great role models.

    Hey great truck wash. What a good idea, fast, well done and good price. Sorry you didn't get to see all you wanted in city. But plan B always works. LOL Calab was making hand gestures in back seat as you were talking. Made me LOL - so cute. You have such a comical family. Such great sense of humor - and adventure. Will take you far in life. LOL.
    Good tips for camping in person's yard.
    Are you taking pictures with your cell phone or using another type of camera. Your pictures always turn out so clear and in focus.
    Do you use the shower and bathroom in your RV while staying at families - or use their bathroom?
    Hey great idea about how to conduct a family reunion. Love the idea about the pictures on the table.
    I thought Marc's family was from Lake Tahoe area? I saw an episode where you went back for vacation and loved it. I have visited that area also - but not exact areas as you filmed.
    Happy Mother's Day - Trish
    Oh figs and Goat cheese sounds great.
    Looks like you had a great Mother's Day - WAY to celebrate guys. Keep up the great video's.

    My youngest nephew goes to College in Lima , Ohio & he works @ a Blue Beacon Truck & RV Wash there . He use to work at a car wash there . I'm really surprised it wasn't a lot more to wash the RV & the truck. I have a mini van & the times I've had it hand washed it was $24.00 + tip .

    Great video! Our shirts came in Saturday! Know what you mean about family reunions! The wife and I are working on her family’s 100th reunion,, and the planning and coordination is mammoth to say the least. Travel safely and keep the videos coming.

    We learned early on....we didn't visit an RV Dealer until we research their entire inventory online. Then we would bring a list of the RVs we want to see, in the order we want to see them in.
    We recently purchased a Thor Challenger Motor Coach, we knew when we saw it that IT was the one! You'll know.
    Good luck in your search!
    GOD Bless You and your Family.

    Thanks for the tip, I will use blue beacon in the future for a splash and dash which is usually all you need and that's a good price, to be fair though that is not a "wax". Example, I was in a park in Yuma last year, for $99 I got a hand wash which included the roof on the class a 40 foot and a hand wax with maguires premium wax for $99. thanks for the great video

    It’s not a big deal for you to go through a truck wash with Grand Ginger . . . But if we were to pull into that truck wash with our tow vehicle and Casita travel trailer, they would be LAUGHING so hard! :D. We’d get lost in there!! Looking at your route it looks like you took one of our favorite roads through the upper part of Alabama - highway 72! It’s a great highway. We’ve wanted to see the Clinton Library as well but have never had time to do it. Maybe next time. With regard to pads for your jacks, we have some that our son cut out of a horse mat. They work really well and are a bit larger than the yellow blocks.

    Love to follow the journey. Picked up my Summer to Remember shirt and wear it proudly. Question/request: would love for you to cover again the solar now that your down in the lower 48 again. If you still find it so useful and what, if anything, you would add or change. Thank you.

    I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.... I had the feeling ya'll were gonna come to Arkansas while we were on vacation, our first full week vacation in our new 37' Mallard bumper pull, it looks similar to the Grand Ginger. We were on vacation at Lake Ouachita State Park (Hot Springs, AR), Crater of Diamonds State Park (Murfreesboro, AR), and Corp of Engineers Maumelle Park in (Little Rock, AR). If that's actually when ya'll recorded this episode, last week. We had to be close by at some point, dad gum I knew we would miss you! Oh well, my fault for not being an Insider!!

    I've never washed my trailer myself.. There are 2 blue beacons here in Amarillo. It's right on I-40, so sometimes there is a line, but they get them done pretty quick!!! Only way to go!!!

    What! I can’t believe you’ve never been to a blue beacon! I should have mentioned it a long time ago I guess. The only problem is sometimes the lines can be a little long.

    Pro-tip: when out in West Memphis (where you were); never leave your vehicle alone. People will break into it in broad daylight. Always have at least one person with it at all times. I rarely go that Far East anymore, but I never stop there for any reason. I don’t care if I need to go to the bathroom badly, West Memphis is just bad news for those who just don’t know.
