This video was very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching Liza and taking the time to leave a comment.
Great video, just found your channel. We have made numerous trips to Florida from Michigan but this year we are taking our 5th wheel for the first time. Lots of our questions were answered in this video, so thanks. We hope that the weather warms up! We are heading to St. Augustine, to spend time with our grandchildren. Safe travels and enjoy not shoveling!
Thanks for watching. We appreciate your support. So happy to hear that our video was helpful. That is why we decided to make it. Safe travels. Enjoy your trip
Loved the show first time watching your channel
My wife and I are planning a trip from mi. To key west in march
Thanks for watching I hope you have a great trip.
Really enjoyed your trip from Ohio to Florida. I'm in Gainesville, FL so I recognized Paynes Prairie right away. Thanks for the show. Have a great winter in Florida. bill in Florida
Thanks for watching and supporting us Bill. Glad you enjoyed it. 😀
We've been coming down to the Hudson, FL area from Toledo for over 40 years and I have to plan the trip to make sure Carroll's is open both coming south and going north. It's a great place to stop for breakfast and the barbecue place next door is a great place for lunch. Good to see another Northwest Ohioan snowbirding in Florida.
Wow, over 40 years. That's so amazing! We definitely need to try their breakfast sometime. Thanks for your comment and for watching. Safe travels 😎
@@Jonesin2Go Been coming to the area since before US-19 was all commercial and you had to go through downtown Brooksville to get from 50 to 19. Things certainly have changed over the years.
We have stopped at Carroll’s and it worked out great! You had great info! We have a 38’ Montana.
Thanks Melinda. We appreciate your kind words and support for our channel.
So glad you made it safe. Atlanta traffic had me stressed even though we were not there. Florida looks so pretty. Thanks for sharing, Paul & Magen
I enjoyed your video... we live 30 miles NW of Dayton, OH... and pull our 5th Wheel down every year for 5 to 6 weeks around February. We spend 2 weeks around Winter Park... then down to Fort Myers area. Thanks for sharing & Safe Travels... John & Marcia Kelly
Thanks for watching. We appreciate your support. Safe travels.
Great video! We have one of those gas cards and it does save a ton$$$. We enjoy your content! Paul & Magen
Thanks for watching Paul & Magen. We appreciate your support. I love hearing that others are able to save on fuel also. Safe travels
Beautiful video I'm from Ohio and I had to watch this video twice because of the beautiful views of the road I hope to buy a camper and dually and travel for work someday thank you for the video
Thanks for watching Riley. We appreciate your support. We hope you can get an RV and get on the road as well. There is nothing better than being on the road and exploring new places. Good luck
@@Jonesin2Go thank you I'm 21 years old and trying to work in a weld shop for awhile then buy a welder and camper and dually and go weld on the pipeline or bridges
Thanks for the video(s). My wife and I enjoyed watching them. Some great info and tips. We are new to RVing and unfortunately right now we are stuck up here in Canada waiting for the border to open because of Covid. Planning to head south just as soon as we can. Looking forward to watching more of your vids! Take care and all the best for 2021!!
Thanks for watching and supporting our channel Colin. Hopefully this Covid issue is over soon so you can enjoy the RV life. We definitely plan to put out more videos so be sure to subscribe and tap the bell if you want to be notified.
Nice video, I’m planning on leaving Pittsburgh,pa in a few weeks and doing that same drive...
enjoy Florida ...
Thanks for watching. We appreciate your support. I hope the video was helpful. Safe travels and enjoy your trip.
Used to keep my plane hangared at the airport for quite a while until the port authority decided they didn't want little airplanes there anymore. Then hangared it in Fremont for many years. Still RV with our coach.
Hey guys. Love watching the drive videos. I am always looking at how busy the traffic is. We are from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. We both retired last spring and hoped to be in warmer whether this spring. We will have to wait now until the border opens up. So I’m just taking in all the info from my sofa. Hope to see more of your adventures.
Hopefully the border opens up soon so can get back on track with your travel plans. We're happy to hear we could provide you with some entertainment in the meantime. We hope to get some more videos out this winter while we are in Florida. Thanks for watching!
I live in Dayton, Ohio. I just bought a 31 foot 5th wheel Montana and am very pleased with my purchase... it's just like new. I am now looking for a diesel truck. Anyway, I'm 78 (good health) and will be going it alone. That makes me a little nervous. I may just have someone help me drive then fly them home. I'm looking at E bikes (I like what changing lanes recommends.) Curious as how many miles you typically travel on a charge. I know flat land can make a big difference. I'm a retired magician, ventriliquist and just might do a :"Retired Traveling RVer entertainer channel. That might be fun... What do you think? I found you and subscribed two weeks ago. You seem like pretty nice folks and I enjoy your channel. I look forward to meeting you fine folks some day! AmazingKeith (most of the time:-)
Thanks for watching. We have magnum bikes and we get 40 to 50 miles on a charge depending on the terrain.
I enjoy your music and video work!! 1st x viewer! I liked and subscribed!!
Thank you for your support and positive feedback. We greatly appreciate it!
Shrimp Taco's at Jake's Cantina and Cuban Sandwiches at Kooky Coconut's. My favorites in the area.
Interesting and great editing. Thank you.
Thanks Terry and thank you for watching and supporting our channel.
I really enjoyed your video keep them coming from Pam and Rick from southern Ohio, And we would like to wish you guys a Happy New year
Thanks so much for your positive feedback Rick. We truly appreciate it and are happy to hear that our video may have been helpful to you and Pam. We hope that you subscribe to our channel so you will notified when we release new videos. We wish you both safe travels and thanks again for your support!
New to your channel!
Appreciate all you share!

Nice
I ran across the bridge closure on my way to Ohio in the middle of December.
I took the scenic route and went across the Anderson Ferry. Started doing business in 1817 and still going strong.
Of course I was in a camper van, not sure what the limits are for your rig.
Another tip is to get off I-75 N. of Atlanta go west and take US 27 south. Good road and most towns seem RV friendly.
Thanks for the tips Tony. We greatly appreciate it and might have to check those things out in the future. Safe travels 😎
Great video travel safe we hope you have fun and see you on the road
Thanks for watching and the positive feedback. Wishing you the best as well.
Great info. Thanks for your comments, will travel down from Mn. New to your channel.
Thanks for watching and subscribing. We greatly appreciate it. So glad you found the information helpful. Safe travels!
Thanks for the video. We live just southeast of Columbus and are planning on taking a trip for 5 or 6 weeks in February. We also have a dually and a Montana fifth wheel so this was very helpful. This will be our first year doing this so I’m looking for all the help I can get. I will definitely be checking out that fuel card also so thanks again.
Thanks for watching Bryan. We made this video to help people just like you. We hope it makes your trip a little easier. Safe travels. Thanks for supporting our channel.
Have a 3120 myself. Love the thing. Have been using the Garmin RV890 for awhile now. Got the idea from Changing Lanes, they did a head to head on it. Once it's set up, dead easy to use. Love your vids, keep it up.
Thanks for watching! We have seen that same comparison on Changing Lanes and are definitely getting one before we bring the rig home from Florida. We love our 3120 and even after looking at the new ones recently, we feel like it's the best layout for us. We hope you subscribe to our channel and thank you for the support!
Enjoyed your trip to Florida. Nice looking rig and dually. This is our first year not traveling to Florida from New Hampshire in 16 years because of covid and my wife's surgery. Normally I pull a 2010 Montana 3400rl with my 2011 GMC Duramax 2500HD. We usually pull I-95 into Florida and stay In the Cocoa Beach area for a month and then pull to Ft. Myers for another month to pick up some Spring Training Baseball. I am envious, have a great Florida 2021.
Thanks Jim. Sorry to hear that you won't be able to travel this winter. Wishing you and your family health and happiness. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel
We are from Toledo Ohio Area, and will be pulling Our 37' Fifth Wheel , along with 2 Dogs to Port Richey Florida, in 3 weeks. This will be a 1st for Us, enjoyed your Video !!! Thank You; Terry & Kim
Thanks for watching we appreciate your support. What park are you heading for in Port Richey?
We will be staying at Oak Springs Rv Resort
We know that area well. That is a nice park. We spent 4 years at suncoast just down the road from there. Make sure you pack bug spray the no see ums are really bad it that area.
Thank You so much for your help ! Terry & Kim
A great place to stop for Diesel is at Buc’ees in Warner Robbins on I-75 just south of Atlanta. Checkout their website. They have over 300 pumps and it’s very easy in and out. Diesel Prices are extremely low. Great place to fill your auxiliary tank. The Buc’ees store is like a Disney Gas Station
Thanks for the tip. I think they just opened a new one near St Augustine. I will have to check that out when we are over there later this month.
@@Jonesin2Go yes they did just open in St. Augustine and they are building one in Ft Meyers. Fun place to stop. Plenty of parking too.
Never ever go through downtown Atlanta... take the bypass.
Florence Y'all
I hear Arizona is nice in the wintertime, Texas too! I’ve also heard that getting a spot to park is a lot easier in those other states because Florida in the wintertime is so overcrowded. Also how about New Mexico? Anyone out there with any thoughts??
Thanks for watching Bud. We appreciate your support. We have heard the same about Arizona and Texas. We hope to check them both out someday.
Really great, informative video, Subscribed and will watch more. How did you originally discover the RV parking at MM179?
Thanks for watching. I actually found that rest stop by looking on i75exitguild.com and looking for rest stops that have dump stations. After the first year, we make that our overnight stay.
👍
Use the HOV lane in ATL.. We tow our 5er down to FL from Northern KY and the HOV lane cuts at least 30 min out of the trip
Hey Brian. That thought has crossed our minds but we were told that we couldn't do that when towing. Is there some kind of special pass required or something? Do you know the requirements or rules because that would be awesome?
@@Jonesin2Go I'm not an expert... But several years ago after being stuck in down town Atl for hours I looked up the HOV ruled for Atl. No commerical traffic, at least 2 people in the car babies didn't count (random part of the rule).
So for the last few years we've used it with no problems.
It doesn't require a pass, but the peach pass bypass lanes do and you are not permitted to have a trailer in those.
Good information to know. Thanks for the tip. We greatly appreciate it!
How did the Blue Beacon work out…I hate a dirty rig too!
We never made it to the Blue Beacon because it was raining by the time we got there but we've heard good things about it
Coming down hopefully from south western Ontario for Christmas 2021 and really enjoyed your tips. Did you guys have your 5th dewinterized before you left home?
We do winterize our rig at home before it gets to the freeing point. Then as we make our way south, we add water. We are typically further south enough by the end of our first day of travel so that works out nice for us. Thanks for watching. We hope you found our information helpful.
Really enjoyed your video . Thanks for the tip on the EFS card, do you have a name for the referral that I can use on the app?
Thanks for watching Ron we appreciate your support. The reference code is RVBJ1007. We hope you will subscribe so you can view our future videos. Thanks again and safe travels.
Enjoyed the video, great tip on the diesel card. One question though, the site says it can save you money if you are an individual truck owner, own a diesel RV (I tow with a diesel truck) and do you purchase diesel on a daily basis..... Are there minimum usage requirements for the card to save money?
Thanks for watching. There is not a minimum you have to purchase. You just use the app to find the stations with the best price. You do however have to fuel up in the truck lanes. Right now TA and Petro have the best discounts but those are different depending on location.
We did get the TDS fuel card to use this past trip, 1st time it worked, three times wouldn’t let us use it and one time it sent us so far off track we just turned around and paid at a regular fill up. Not too sure why were were getting denied.
Wow I have never had a problem. If you call the 800 number they should be able to help.
Great video. So the fuel card can you only use it at truck stops or can you use it anywhere?
It is mostly truck stops. And they have to be used in the truck lanes not the regular islands.
When you did your 1 year review on the 3120RL did you have your ford dually or was it a single axle? Thanks
We have always pulled the Montana with the dually. Thanks for watching Daniel
You mentioned in one of your videos that someone knocked on your RV door at 2 am while at a Cracker Barrell. Why?
That would scare me! Also, the campground that you stayed at in Largo.... Is it pet friendly? I just discovered you and enjoy your videos.
Thanks for watching Laura. The person that knocked on the door at 2am was looking for a handout. Fortunately that is the only time we have ever had an experience like that. Unfortunately Indian rocks travel park is not pet friendly. We wish they were.
Can you please share what RV park you are staying at and how do you rate it. We will down there in April. Thank you
This year we are staying at Indian Rocks Travel Park in Largo, FL. This is our first year here and so far we love the park and the location. Some time soon, we plan to make a video of the park. If you subscribe and tap that bell, you will be notified when we release it. Thanks for watching Roger.
About the truck ... do you have airbags or suspension helpers for the rear on the dually. Just took delivery off our 2020 f350 stx dually, wondering how much squat we will encounter with a 15k 5er.
No airbags the truck is all stock and the ride towing my rig is fantastic
Looking to make this drive in a few months. How did you find out about the RV overnight area at the Georgia rest stop? Is this common at many rest areas?
We actually just found it by chance. We like to get south of Atlanta our first drive day. after finding it we just kind of make it our goal to stay there. With it being cold here when we leave home it's a good place to put water back in the rig safely. That way we can have a shower and start the next day fresh. Some other of the rest stops along I75 in Georgia have dump stations (not all) www.i75exits.com is a good place to research rest areas along that route. And see what amenities each one offers. Safe travels on your journey we should be making our way through there in about 40 days. Thanks for watching
We are doing our planning for next year, wondering how much electricity runs each month. This is our first winter experience, currently on the Gulf coast. Wanting to go farther south next year. Seems most park’s charge for electricity. Trying to budget for that. Thanks
Thanks for watching. We appreciate your support. I would say you could expect around $20 give or take per month
@@Jonesin2Go Appreciate the quick response. Helps a lot. We were expecting upwards of $100.
@@indygary815 I can give you a better idea soon. We should be getting our first monthly bill at the end of this week.
@@Jonesin2Go That would be great. They have any open sites?
@@indygary815 I wouldn't know about that. If your thinking about for next year I would check with them around april or may.
I don't see a link
I'm not sure exactly which link you are looking for but to apply for an EFS fuel card and start saving on fuel costs

Another question. Are E-Bikes permitted on the trail near your campground? I'll do a search and see the official word. Most trails north of Atlanta seem to have signs prohibiting motorized vehicles. Thanks.
Yes they are permitted. Motorized vehicles are considered to have an engine. E-bikes don't have an engine. They're battery powered.
Used to live in Perrysburg. Moved down here many years ago. Still have my Monaco Diesel pusher. Where do you people hail from?
Thanks for watching Bob. We are from Swanton and winter in Largo
When I checked out the EFS web site there were 4 choices of cards to sign up for, what do you recommend,
I just had to go look because I have not heard of that. Did you go to tsdlogistics.com? When you click on the myopenroad link then go to the menu at the top left and click on ready to apply and it will take you to the application.
How many total gallons does your auxiliary and truck carry?
I can hold around 76 gallons when they are both full. The auxiliary tank has been a great investment. I have it on a silinoid switch so I can turn it on and off from the cab .
Where in ohio are you
We are up in the north west corner.
What kind of auxiliary fuel tank do you use? Is it gravity fed?
Yes it is a gravity tank by rds. I have a solinoid valve installed so I can open and close it from the cab
What about Waze app. for the backup time? Did u get the washer and dryer? It so, where?
Hello Harold we haven't used waze app but will be taking a look at it. We didnt buy the washer and dryer yet but did find some pretty good prices at Lazydays in Tampa. Probably going to purchase them there
Thanks for watching we appreciate your support.
Waze is google .. not RV aware. Don’t get me wrong, Great app. Better traffic awareness and better point of interest app .. it will route you just like google. We just bought that Garmin RV890 unit from technoRV
Have you ever thought about going down 77?
Actually yes we have . In fact, I think we may go that way on the trip home at the end of March. We are planning on taking 10 days to get home so we can stop and check out new places along the way. We just havent decided if we will go up the east coast or head west and check out Alabama yet.
@@Jonesin2Go I live near cbus and typically go that way to keep away from Atlanta, but weather plays much more of a factor, and tolls.
If Atlanta is so bad why not avoid it.
No better alternative. That would save time.
We are thinking about going down there next February could you please let us know how much the camp ground will cost?
Are you asking about a specific park?
@@Jonesin2Go Indian rocks travel park.
It depends on your length of stay. I believe we are around 825 a month
