đč MUSIC FOR THIS VIDEO: Epidemic Sound
We are not RV experts. We are RVers sharing our experiences on the road.
Please do your own research and make your own decisions as to what is best for you and your RV.
Yikes! So sorry youâre doing better. â€ïž
Thank you!
Oh man! So glad you are on the mend. I donât want to sound like a commercial but we did three things to help us if we were in that type of emergency situation. 1-we take turns driving so we can both move the rig. 2-we joined FMCA because one of the perks is FMCA Assist which includes getting a driver to move your rig if something happens to one or both of us. 3-we joined MASA with a one time fee (no ongoing payments) that will cover all transportation costs beyond your normal health insurance coverage while we are on the road or at our home. It was a one time cost for lifetime coverage. It covers ambulance and emergency air-lift flights. I have been praying for you guys since I saw the short video on the emergency. I hope the steps we did might be helpful to you!
What valuable information. We are looking into it over the next few days. More people should know about this. Thanks so much for your concern we very much appreciate it. Safe travels to you guys!
Letâs just say thanks to the Wright brother(all together now)
Thank you Wright brothers!!!
Keeping you in my prayers.
Thank you!
So glad you all were taken care of, including tucker.
Thanks from all three of us! đ
Scared us! Glad you guys are okay!
Thank you!
So glad your both O.K.
Thank you!
Good information to think about. Glad everything worked out.
Thank you!
We are so glad that Chris is returning to normal. You can tell he's still not 100%. His voice sounds a little weak. But his coloring is very good and he seems to be back to almost his normal self which is what we love to see. Next time Chris and Bob will have to coordinate if they decide to try to go down this road again. Katrina, but I think you and I are not going to let them lol. So grateful that you guys are okay. Tell Tucker I said hey
He's still sore but doing better everyday. This getting old thing stinks! Tell Bob we're glad to hear he's doing better. Tucker say Hi! đ
Glad you are ok and everything worked out
Thank you! Heâs feeling much better.đ
I am so glad to hear that you are doing ok Chris. I have learned so much from you both. My husband and I will be start our fulltime adventure within the next year. We are in the purging stage and trying to finish our remodel of the kitchen so we can rent our house out. We have found a possible Veteran that is in need of a home so hoping it works out otherwise we will be renting to military families. As I have been doing so much research before our full time, I had not thought of medical hospital in case of an emergency for us only for our pets that will be traveling with us so thank you so much for all that you share. Another item to add to my list. đ I hope you heal quickly Chris and again, thank you Katrina and Chris for sharing all your wonderful adventures and lesson's learned.
Thank you! It's all about the journey through the good and the bad times. It's real life and we need to be prepared for everything life has in store. Take care and safe travels to you bothđđ
We had no idea this happened! We were so busy at the Grand Design National Rally that we were hardly on social media. Prayers for your healing. Great information too!
Sounds like a good time. Thank you!
I am lucky that my dog is a service dog (trained for 3years), so he can go with me anywhere but I havenât been able to drive for 10 years. Very good information. Thank you đ
Service dogs are wonderful. Our daughter has her service dog in training. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. đ
Glad you are doing better. Iâm a big believer that if you are full time or part time, everyone who has a drivers license should know how to drive the Rv.
Something we are changing in the near future. Thank you!
So glad Chris is doing better! Chris you need to let Katrina learn to drive the RV- Or Deb will just teach her in Florida & you're welcome!! it's best before an emergency situation- Good points on pet safety & care too! All good food for thought! Be safe & stay well!
Sounds like a great plan. I'm (Katrina) in!!!
Good news that you are ok now mate, Hate to think what the insurance costs would have been, I love our NHS. Both of you and Tucker stay safe and get well soon,
Iâm in the same boat too; glad our state insurance covers those eventualities in Spain as well!!
Thank you!
And that's why we carry two different Life Flight type of insurances.. Glad it worked out for you.
Just learning about Life Flight insurance. Will have to look into getting some. Thank you!
Hi Chris and Katrina, We met you today at the gas pump in Cortez. Weâve now subscribed to your channel and enjoyed meeting you. Safe travels!! Dennis & Kerri
Hey Dennis and Kerri! Chris and I were just saying what a nice couple you are. So fortunate to meet you guys on the road. Hopefully we'll see you all in Florida for a drink or two and have a chance to exchange stories. Stay safe and enjoy your time in Moab!
So glad to see that you are okay, Chris. Thanks for the informative video.
Thank you! Hopefully you'll never have to be in this kind of situation. Take care and safe travels guys!
Thatâll teach me to go a few days without watching your videos! From your still photo, I thought you were just demonstrating being in trouble, until I watched and realized it wasnât just a prop mask and backdrop. Wow! So glad you were tended to and are on the mend. I know it mustâve been a strain on you both. I had to suddenly learn to drive our rig due to my husband breaking a hip so I can sympathize. We were not full timers together but, Man! The stories I could share with you two! đ So happy to hear you are better and enjoying life again in good health.
Thank you! It was a little stressful until we got everything sorted out. Chris is doing much better and just happy the pain has stopped. Would love to hear some of your stories! If you happen to be in Florida this winter let us know and we'll plan to get together for dinner/cocktails. Safe travels and take care guys! đ
So glad to see you up and about! Wonât be long before youâre back to 100%!
Thank you!
Glad your doing good! As we age more stuff happens & never at the best time for us or for our convenience & always in groups. In the future try to interview some 70+ RVers who have issues & their plans would be interesting. Thanks for sharing your story!
Sounds like a great idea and could be very helpful for other RVers. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. đ
Sure glad you're doing better Chris and on the mend. Katrina... don't take any guff from him...he looks stubborn. My wife tells me stubborn is a nice word for being a pain in the ass. On a serious note ..your reminder about checking out medical care is one that is often overlooked. Thank you for the reminder. You guys please take care in your travels.
LOL, I tell him he's a pain in the ass all the time! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment we very much appreciate it. Safe travels to you both!
Chris this is a primary time to teach Katrina how to do your hookups and disconnects. Good time for her to learn how to drive the rig also since your down for a while. Make a checklist for her to go by. Even video it for to refer back to on the hook up and disconnects.
As far as driving remember to swing wide for turns and watch that tail swing. If your turning right the tail is going to swing out to the left and just the opposite for a left turn. If you take your left foot and place it on the floor of the driver's side you will find a flat or raised area. That area is place by the manufacturer to tell you where you left wheel is. When driving I tell my students to be checking there mirrors and gauges.
As a commercial truck instructor there are a ton of things to teach a person. One thing I always tell them is always drive with reserve power Incase something happen like a blown steering tire. And don't get on the brakes.
Currently I am teaching my wife how to drive our HDT and 43' Toyhauler. Total length is about 75'. I started her on a set course I designed to build her skills. Started with right turns and then progressed to left turns, getting on and off freeways. As for backing training big open areas.
Safe travels and roads Brian and Cindy, "xtreambydesign with passion"
All great advice! I (Katrina) have pulled small trailers in the past so am comfortable with backing them up but driving the 38' class A and towing a jeep is a different story. Thanks for sharing. I can use all the advice I can get. Safe travels to you both. Please tell you wife I'm rooting for her!
We had our 24 year old son on a trip with us and he got sick with heat exhaustion -trying to do to much out of shape on a 100 degree day -we had to bring him to the hospital-luckily we were by a big metro area -but ya who would think a 24 year old would need medical attention -we are part timers so it can happen-Glad you are ok and Katrina is hanging in there đ€·ââïžđđșđž
Thank goodness you guys were near a large metro area and found the medical attention your son needed. It can be a scary situation. Thanks for reaching out. We really appreciate it. Safe travels!
I'm glad you had a way to get it worked out. That's good info for folks who travel... Thanks!
Hopefully it can help others who find themselves in a similar situation. Thanks for watching!
We write our cg info (or gps coordinates if truly boondocking)âŠfor the event we need to call 911. Thereâs a good app (works without a signal) called Where Am I. And YESâŠyou both need to know how to cover each otherâs jobsâŠdump tanks, connect/disconnect utilities, and driveâŠand he needs to know how you store stuff inside for a travel day, or how to find cgs, whatever is not his typical role. My dh keeps telling me I donât need to drive, and I insist, oh yes I do! Thanks for the video, glad everything is ok.
Good info. Glad your okay.
Thank you!
Good infoâŠso glad you are doing ok!
Thank you!
So glad you are recovering well. It seems to me that we had a conversation back in Door County about Katrina, needing to learn to drive the RV. Lol. We actually have a laminated sheet that has all of the emergency information for your current area on it. The idea is to fill it out ahead of time so you will be prepared. Stay safe and well. Lynn and Danny
Thank you! May have to learn how to drive the "beast" while in FL this winter. Great way to keep emergency numbers on hand. Take care and safe travels. đ„°
Oh my goodness so glad this worked out and you were ok!!!! How scary!!!!!
Thank you. â„
Chris, you be careful glad all worked out to the positive. Thanks for the heads up, as I am at Cracker Barrel, mooch docking..
Thank you! Cracker Barrel is the best!
First, I am glad you are doing better Chris,. Your situation with a life flight or even an ambulance can be fully covered with a Sky Med membership. We paid $2500 for 5 years and I got an extra 5 months by referring someone who signed up.
Thank you! This is something we are going to have to look into. Great information!
Very informative, very unfortunate, but great info. Glad you are doing better and appreciate the PSA. Here's to safe travel from here on out...Chris & Brenda
Thank you! Will do!
glad to see your ok Chris this is a good video thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Great video and so glad you are okay. I will keep you in my prayers. Please take it easy for a few weeks. Love you guys.
Thank you so much! He's taking it easy for now. Finger's crossed he behaves himself so we don't end up in the emergency room again. Take care and safe travels.
Get better â€ïžâđ©č. Thank God all went well đ„°đ„°đ„°
Thank you!
Chris and Katrina! So sorry that you had to go through this. Thank you for providing such great information in this video! Important things to think about. Sending love and prayers â€ïž
Thanks guys! Thank goodness everything turned out well. Living full time on the road has become a learning experience for us. Take care and safe travelsđ
Good information! Glad everything worked out. Y'all take care
Thanks, you too!
Very informative video. Sorry you had to go through this - however appreciate you using what you learned to give us food for thought. Hope you're feeling better every day, Chris!
Thank you! Feeling much better everyday. Hopefully you'll never find yourself in this kind of situation. Take care and be safe!
MAN! Talk about scaring someone at first sight on this video.... you all definitely freaked me out!
I'm glad you're alright. And I'm glad you all have insurance!
There's nothing like something like this to happen on the road but on the other side of the road..... many people make their decisions to travel and see the world because we ain't getting any younger sitting in the lazy boy or girl chair!
So, my hats off to you all for doing what your souls desire and God will take care of the rest along the way!
On a lighter note but important one as you have mentioned.... Being Prepared.
The biggest thing I've noticed about this RVing full time lifestyle is that one person has their chores to prepare the rig for travel and one has the other chores to prepare the rig. And more often there's only one person who knows how to prepare and maintain everything on the rig and that includes all those wonderful liquid storage tanks down below.
So with all that said..... this is what we did for the unexpected situations when one's sick and the other is healthy to work and maintain the rigs needs to maintain our lives.
First thing I did was..... draw the steps that I would physically do in order to get the rig road ready. Unplugging this, Unplugging that, turn on this and that and what needed to be turn off and so on. The power systems.... generator hook up, solar power hook up, landline hook up.... and so on.
I made detailed drawings on each step on everything and laminated the papers with clear packing tape and we store those in a safe dry place.
After the blueprints were made..... we did drills..... and I watched and advised.... and we did more drills.
Now, today? If I asked my wife to get things together..... she'd first scratch her head to remember where the blueprints were stored. But I think she'd do alright with it as long as she was calm, cool and collected. If I died, she'd be searching for the bus title..... LoL! Because I am... My bus's Master!
Glad to hear that your dog found a new temporary friend. They are so connected to us and I'm sure he was stressed about his master as well.
Blessings to you all! Roll On.....
Thanks Dean! As you know we've had our share of situations this last couple weeks. Love the way you put together detailed drawings and lists for your wife. I have no doubt I can do it just need to practice. Tucker ate very little the couple days Chris was in the hospital. They can definitely tell when something is wrong. He's a happy boy now that his Dad is home! Blessings to you and your family!
@@oureverydaygetaway Glad to hear the good news! There's a video you all did and I can't remember which one. Tucker was in the back seat sitting in the center of the two front seats. And one of you was talking to him and the way he tilted his head.... just went straight to my heart. Yes indeed.... our pets have senses that many people should strive more often to replicate to benefit others.
I don't know if the doctors stressed to you all about the resting and healing period after the surgery. And since I only doctor everything except human bodies. If the doctors cut through muscle tissue which usually prompts them to require rest and healing time. Much sure Chris isn't hard headed about it and do physically things against the doctors recommendations. I stress this because Chris doesn't want to experience in the future the pain of scar tissue damage due to doing things he should've been doing.
Just a back story about that. When my intuition kept bugging me to tell my bus garage boss that he needed to go to his doctor and get checked out as soon as possible. The doctors discovered a bad kidney and tumor on it and it was only working at 20% capacity. They had to remove it. His doctors told him 8 weeks and do absolutely nothing but rest. I was thankful for many but one reason in particular.... it was a opportunity to clean up a pack rats garage and organize all the useless things laying around! So, I'm hustling for two weeks straight and he arrives at the garage! I say, "what the heck are you doing here"? He was puzzled in the face.... so I hit him with another set of powerful words. I said, "you need to get the hell out of here and don't come back until your doctor says it's okay"! He asked why and I told him about the scar tissue pain. He knows now why I said that and blames himself for not listening to those recommendations from those who care about him. Nevertheless, he's alive and enjoying all his grandchildren because it wasn't too late for me to speak up so he could get help.
All's well.... and he loved what I did for him and the garage.
Please make sure he gets rest.
You love to shop so go buy him a pair of sneakers with velcro laces!
Blessings to you and all your family!
All great advice that I will make sure to pass on to Chris. Thank you! What a wonderful thing you did for your boss. I'm sure he appreciates you and what you've done for him. As always we appreciate you and love all your comments. Take care and have a wonderful week.đ
@@oureverydaygetaway In regards to the bus boss, the truth of the matters was he did wonderful thing's for me too.
Kind and wonderful things happened quite frequently with us. He's the kind of fella that was rather neutral about God and spiritual stuff that quite frankly is invisible to most people until something happens which proves it exist in the form of a miracle kind of thing. And both him and I were witnesses to that miracle and it really changed his thinking about stuff like that. This video link is part one of the story and part 2 really talks about the miracle but I can only link the part 1 right now... it shouldn't be hard to find the second part. Titled: Those from Heaven aren't deaf. It's really some crazy stories when I was a campground manager.

Just a quick story about this bus boss named Michael. Thirty five years or so before I showed up on the scene. He was a young healthy tow truck driver from Fairfax VA. Him and his boss were in a tow truck going northbound on I-270 in Montgomery County Maryland and noticed a customer's heavy-duty truck broke down on the southbound side of 270. Obviously years before cellphones existed, so they decided they were going to pick it up on the way back to the Fairfax yard. They pulled over and both of them were underneath their customer's truck hooking it up. Michael looks and sees a car coming towards them out of control and it slammed into the truck they were underneath. As Michael is pinned under the truck and unable to move, he's watching his boss taking his last breathe. I won't write all the details on the bodily injuries but it was bad.
Doctors said Michael wouldn't walk again but he definitely proved them wrong. Working on buses is very physical and this guy has done it for many years.
Every year around the anniversary date of that terrible incident, I could always tell because of the way he acted. The accident was the reason for his limp walking style. But one year, he shows me all the details written down on the original police report. So, before I started studying the report I asked Michael, "was your boss a bad man who did bad things to people"?
And without hesitation he says, "Oh Yeah"! I said, "okay just wondering". So, I'm going through the report and I noticed something VERY interesting about his boss and the driver of the car who slammed into them. But before I told Michael what I found I said to him, "Mike I want you to know that you got caught in the middle of two bad people and this incident had nothing to do with you and had everything to do with these two guys" so please never blame yourself for what happened. Mike was puzzled by what I said and asked why I thought that. I replied, "because your boss and this drunk driver were born on the same month, same day and same year"! And Mike never knew that before I pointed it out.
Blessings to you all!
Thank you for sharing such important info, glad you're doing well and enjoy watching your videos!
Thank you! Stay safe and enjoy traveling on the road whenever you can.
Great information. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
We are glad to see you are are doing ok. I still donât know how to hook up the car but I guess in an emergency I could drive the 40ft RV just go slow.
Rest!! We still enjoy your journey!
Thank you!
Once again great video. Glad youâre ok Chris. It hit home particularly for me as I was recently diagnosed as having gall stones,although theyâre not causing me a problem yet. AND my wife does not drive the RV. Us guys think weâll always be THERE to take care of things. If anyone needs additional validation check out the âDownsizing Makes Senseâ channel. They are another You Tube Channel that had a similar situation where the husband had a medical emergency and the wife was left scrambling. Keep up the great work guys.
It's always been a concern but kept putting it on the to do list. I will be learning how to drive ect as soon as we reach an area I can practice before hitting the highway. Medical emergencies are the worst! Praying your gall stones don't cause you any major issues. Stay safe and enjoy your journey!
Glad to see things are ok with you now! Good video and very informative on a subject people may not think about.
Thank you!
If that had happened at Stoney Acres would have just called our vet and then Lyn being a nurse she could take care of recovery. :) Hope you are doing well friend!
No doubt! Thanks Jim!
glad to see you're doing ok take it easy and thanks for the informative video. Get well soon đ
Thank you! Take care and safe travels.
I donât know how to hook up and drive either. Perfect example of why we should know how đŹ
It could have been much worse. Thankfully we were able to stay a few more days and move on once Chris could drive. Yes, we all need to know how to do everything including driving. Stay safe and take care!
Hopefully there will be a video of her learning to drive the coach.
Glad it turned out good.
My wife will learn now, since we have seen this video.
Great tips on planning whats at your destination. Get her trained soon!
Video yes, but lets not judge my driving skillsđ Your wife and I can compare who's the best driving instructorđ My bets of you! Chris may not have the patience to teach me.
thx for sharing guys. a lot to think about for sure. I will tell you from experience that you don't want to drive your motor home up hwy 550 to Ouray and Silverton. its narrow and scary as you know what. glad your feeling better. stay safe
We opted to not drive that route. Instead we went through Dolores witch was a beautiful ride and not drop offs. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and enjoy your journey.đ
Hey girlie! Have you learned to drive rig yet?? You can do it! I drive more than my husband. I believe in you!
I'm ready to give it a go but someone is not ready to give up the wheel. LOL!
@Our Everyday Getaway my husband didn't want me to drive also until I wouldn't get in to leave. Hexwas not happy with me to say tbe least but now loves it cuz I do most of the driving lol!
Thanks you for sharring your story. This may sound crazy, but please google PHD diet, or Proper Human Diet. This has helped me to an extent I cannot describe. Have been following a version of this diet for 3 years and it is amazing. It may be considered a weight loss diet, but it really is a health optomizing diet. You do not limit calorie intake, just the foods you eat. Consider it for your health concerns going forward. Also, consider adding OX Bile as a supplement since you lost your gaul bladder. This seems to have helped may wife since she also had her gaul bladder removed. Good luck with your health. We do not need a comment, this is just sharing health information on our part. If you want more information, feel free to ask.
All Great information. Thanks for sharing.
I am a retired (to full time RVing) respiratory therapist from Colorado Springs and worked closely with Flight for Life on a regular basis for many years. It was great to see the transport team in action again, but that's not why I am posting a comment. Last February I suffered an acute gall bladder attack. The Texas town we were in only had an emergency room. Fortunately, Corpus Christi Medical Center was only about 30 miles away; but many RVers like to be out in the middle of nowhere. There is a lot to consider here, but I would say know what to do should you suddenly need medical attention. Also, air transport is very expensive even for short distances, and Insurance coverage varies greatly.
Until your in this kind of situation you really don't understand what kind of medical facilities are available to you while on the road. So fortunate everything worked out but still leaves us with questions about what to do in the future. Thank you so much for leaving a comment. Safe travels and enjoy any day you can getaway.
@@oureverydaygetaway To be sure, I never really concerned myself with nearby medical services either. The ER just happened to be about 4 miles from the RV park. My wife wanted to drive me from the ER to the Medical Center in Corpus Christi, but the doctor said no and they instead took me by ambulance. My total out of pocket was about $1,200. I thought that was pretty good. I suspect my insurance would have covered most of an air ambulance, but I am not certain. Who worries about this kind of stuff until it happens?
Weâre happy to see you back. Take your time to fully recover. Donât over do it. Itâll be a big change in your diet. Keep you both including Tucker in our prayers đđŒ
Thank you so much!
Oh wow, what a great video guys! This is information everybody needs and things all Rvers need to think about. So glad youâre OK Chris! And Katrina, youâre exactly right⊠every copilot needs to know how to drive the RV. I actually do drive but I donât know how to take care of all the hook ups like I should. Iâm motivated to learn even more so now. Thanks for the video!
Thank you! I'm now learning how to do everything. Heaven forbid this were to happen again I need to be prepared.
Wow......Just wow. Leason learned, right. Cross training chores is very important when arriving and departing a site. Glad to hear Katrina is going to learn how to drive the Rv. Stay safe and best wishes from Amish country here in Pa.
Thanks guys, great message. Glad to see Chris is doing much better. Hope to see yâall in CO.
Thank you! Just arrived in Ouray then off to Gunnison. If your in the area please let us know.
So glad to see that you are up and around and doing so well. Be careful not to overdo things before you're fully recovered. It sounds like so many people were put in you path to help out where needed. Had to be hard not to be able to be with him. I'm not confident in driving our rig either. Flexibility is the key. We remember when Katrina had the floater issues in her eye. Bill is struggling with floaters too.
Thank you! Not happy that I still have the floaters. Going to see my eye doctor when we get back to MD. Sorry to hear Bill is struggling with them as well. Hope he has a good eye doctor.
Chris!! bro, so glad you are doing okay. I had the same thing happen to me last year. I ended up having two surgeries for the same problem. You will find taking Super enzymes very helpful for your digestion. We enjoy watching all your videoâs. Thank you for letting us all know your story. Peace and safe travels to you both.
Thank you! Thankfully the stones had passed so I didn't need two surgeries. I will look into the super enzymes. Safe travels!
Glad to see Chris is doing well, and thanks for another great, informative video.
In addition to checking on nearby places that watch pets during human medical emergencies, add the closest, quality emergency pet care center to your âmust-doâ list at the campsite. About a year ago, our ~3-year-old Cockapoo had a seizure (her first) at the campground. We weâre fortunate to find a really good clinic about 20 minutes away - and our pet is fine today.
Stay well and travel safe!
And enjoy towing, Kristina!
Thank you! Quality health should be on the top of everyone's list as well. Thanks for mentioning our fur babies.đđ
Glad everything worked out. Great information, already checking our insurance. Very helpful.
Thank you! You don't know until you know.
Great info. We are part time RV family. We live in Durango and last month our 100% disabled Navy son was airlifted to Colorado Springs for a lifesaving operation. We have a great hospital but specialist are rare. Great emergency room docs! We leave tomorrow for Texas and I think Iâll start driving on some open roads. Continued recovery Chris.
Totally agree that the emergency doctors in Durango were Great! Hope your son is doing well. Thank him for his service. Thank you!
Iâm glad youâre doing better and you all bring up some great points. Iâm about to start traveling with just my dog and itâs a lot to think about.
Thank you! It's always something so it's good to be prepared.
Sorry, mistyped Katrina.
Hi guys, I'm Kim and I'm watching this 7 months later and I'm glad your ok Chris. I've been following your channel but missed this one. I guess because I started with more recent videos
Hey though, Katrina, I don't recall seeing you drive the coach. Ya know I think I've heard you say more than once that you want to learn how to drive it. Katrina I drove all kinds of buses. Motorcoaches are the cadillacs of buses. Don't make this so scary. Trust me you can do it. My scariest trip was to NYC. The driver with me said it was like I put a bungee cord between his bus and mine. Your damn right I did. I was just a country girl in the big city and I was scared shitless.
I had recently dyed my hair blonde so whipped on some pink lipstick and opened a stick of gum. At one point I was surrounded by yellow taxis. Ya know, being that big was great. You should of seen those taxis get out of my way. Trust me, if I can drive a coach you can too. Also out of the other buses I've driven, I feel safer in a coach.
Katrina, actually you should scold yourself for not doing it sooner. You also should know how to tear down and setup . I'm sorry I'm not trying to be mean. Kim đ
Chris very much appreciates your kind words about his medical conditions. Thank you. You don't see me driving the coach because Chris will not allow it. I think he's a little nervous I many show him up! đ€Łđ€Ł Totally agree with you I should know how to set up and tear down the rig. That's on me. Would never take your comments as being mean. All is good! Thank you for taking the time to watch our videos and leave a comment. You are a Bad Ass! Love the blond hair and pink lipstick!! Take care and safe travels.
Thank goodness you got the care you needed! Your color looked very off for sure. Iâm sure you guys were scared to death!
Just another thing to be aware of while traveling on the road. We were scared to say the least. Thank you!
Better get some extra TP , everything you eat well go through you đ
Yikes!
As we look for property in TN that is always one of our concernsâŠ.how far are we from a level 1 trauma center that could treat a major cardiac or stroke? How far away is an ambulance? There is that golden hour and more importantly the platinum 15 minutes.
So true! The list of things we need to think about when it comes to our health goes on and on. Safe travels!
Glad you are okay! Katrina definitely needs to learn how to drive and hook up the toad and do everything you can do. Women are much smarter than men, you can do it Katrina! :o)
Thank you! Women are much smarter than men!! đđ
Glad to see that Chris is doing fine now. My sister and her husband from Michigan were on a road trip with the car traveling to see family in Tennessee. They were driving the long way through a very out of the way area when my brother in-law started to feel like he was having a heart attack. My sister looked on phone which was in and out of service because of the mountains so it was very hard to get connected. They went to this very small hospital and they had to air lift him to another hospital to perform a heat stent procedure. It was very concerning and scaring for them. But yes people don't think of things like that so it would be a good thing to look up just in case?
Glad to hear everything worked out for your brother-in-law. What a scary situation. It's something we should all be aware of while traveling on the road. Thanks for watching.
We write our cg info (or gps coordinates if truly boondocking)âŠfor the event we need to call 911. Thereâs a good app (works without a signal) called Where Am I. And YESâŠyou both need to know how to cover each otherâs jobsâŠdump tanks, connect/disconnect utilities, and driveâŠand he needs to know how you store stuff inside for a travel day, or how to find cgs, whatever is not his typical role. My dh keeps telling me I donât need to drive, and I insist, oh yes I do! Thanks for the video, glad everything is ok.
We are working on making everything you've talked about happen. The part with me learning how to drive our coach will be the hardest on Chris. He just needs to have a little faith and patience. We'll get there soon. Thanks for your comments. Take care and enjoy your journey!đ
