No Campgrounds Plus RV Tow Car FIRE: We started the week with nowhere to camp. We have been on the road for almost 3 years and we have never been in a situation where there were no more campsites available. Find out where we stay and what we do when we can't find a place to land. Along the way, we also ran into an RV with their TOAD on fire. We learned so many lessons fighting that fire. See what happened and why it started. Please stay safe out there. The fire was terrifying and reminded us of the importance of RV safety

You, Me & the RV
You me and the RV
The fact you grabbed a fire extinguisher first and the camera second makes you guy great people thank you
Hey Guy! Just an update we are all doing fine! It took us quite awhile to calm down but we are so thankfully for everyone that stopped to help us! I know at one point there had to be 8-10 people with fire extinguishers out there. We were beyond thankful for each and every one of you!!!
So glad we could help out. It was in our nature to stop! Glad you and the family were able to continue on with the RV.
I have a Expedition and read that it can be tricky to get it setup for toad. Its hard to imagine a tire causing the fire.
@@U20E27 some of the breaking systems for the toad are very unsafe so say the least like putting a box between your front drivers seat that gets a break signal and pushes on your break peddle not sure how that works when your toad has power breaks that run on engine vacuum when it’s engine is running but it’s not when being towed I could see maybe the breaks were dragging on the toed
So glad you all are alright! Prayers for continued safe travels.
❤ ❤ Thank You so much for taking the time to let us know you are all doing ok ✌ I looked for y'all CZcams channel but didn't find 1 ❤ but so happy people stopped!! Many of us needed to see this (people stopping to help) especially in the time we live in today that there are many amazing good people out in the USA ❤ ✌ thanks to all
Thank you so much for not turning this into a sensationalized news report about someone else’s misery. That’s what makes the two of you a class act.
Thanks, Bruce! We were thinking "we have to help".......plain and simple. In the Navy, everyone is a firefighter first.
My dad always said safety safety first and you did good guys and biscuits and gravy is always good .....
@@todayissomeday #1) As a former Damage Controlman, I know that everyone, as I'm sure you were, on a Navy ship gets trained in Firefighting. It's that important. I'm sure that training kicked in for you. We are grateful. #2) Many mock "Rubber Necking". My theory is, it's not so much that people get a kick out of others' miss fortune, as it is to learn how they can avoid the same type of tragedy. So I'm glad you asked the questions. You may have helped other avoid the same kind of catastrophe.
@@todayissomeday That's what I told my daughters class about firefighting. You've got nowhere else to go, You are the one that's gotta help put it out. Start fighting until DC gets there and then get out of their way. Awesome video through the importance of the TPMs through the mishap. BZ
I Totally Agree, they are Awesome People!
You were meant to be delayed with your tpms so you could help those RVers out, if you left earlier (on time) you wouldn't have been there to help. I've had several times in my life where things delayed me and I ended up being where I was suppose to be so I can help someone out. The last time was when I was in Sam's Club and some stranger came up to me and chatted with me for about 20 minutes (which I never do), I went outside and saw a lady walking away from her car with her large dog panting inside. I confronted her and ended up calling police because the dog was definitely overheated. There's a reason for everything. Glad you were able to help them and happy they are safe.
Thank you for rescuing that dog! You were definitely at the right place at the right time!
If you look at it as a non coincidence you can see that God kept you busy on your tires so you would be in the right place at the right time when this guy needed help😇🙌
Perfectly said! 😊
No doubt.
Exactly 🙌🤗🙏🏻
Saving life is more important than getting the "shot". It just shows how Military Life prepares you for dangerous situations.
You are good people for stopping to help. So many people just rubber neck and keep going. Kudos and stay safe!
Yes, thank you
Stacey and Phil, as others have said, you do not try to to create sensationalism for views. You told the story of the fire without drama, that everyone was safe, and what you could realistically do to help. That is what I like about this channel. This is also what I like about both of you. You present yourselves as you are; real, kind, and caring about others. It is such a pleasure to watch your videos.
I am so sorry those guys had a fire. Thank you to everyone who stopped and helped. Getting the car disconnected and the RV pulled away from it was a huge deal. God bless everyone.
Wow, so happy you guys were there to be able to help! It's scary how quickly a fire can happen. It was such a pleasure being able to meet you both and be able to make new friends along the journey ❤️- Carl and Ney Ney
Class act, guys - no drama! I literally just turned off someone else's RVing video because it contained too much drama. I'm real glad you guys are out there being good neighbors to everyone, just like God intended. Thank you.
Oooo drama where
Yes! No Drama! These two are the only ones I watch now. 👍
I agree about the drama. I want to see positivity and respect for self and for others! If there is a bad situation I want to see clues how to handle something.
I'm glad I didn't see the worst part of this incident. It seems like a very close thing to get that SUV unhooked before the fire spread to the rig. Maybe that one person with the fire extinguisher and NOT a camera made the difference. I think I'm commenting about a year after this video was posted. I bet parts of that day are still seared into your brains because that really could have been much worse for the family you helped.
I loved that your mindset was to help first. A lot more people need to have that mindset.
Agreed!
We love Cracker Barrel , just for chow, and love they allow the RV people to park at night (better than falling asleep at the wheel)! This is why Cracker Barrel is on our travel stops ( thank you for the consideration of RV people)!
You guys are so freaking amazing. Most people would have just kept going, but you stopped to help those poor people. It's a pleasure knowing that there are people like you in this world. I love watching your channel.
You folks not only talk-the-talk but you also walk-the-walk. Running towards a fire and helping as opposed to continuing to drive and putting it behind you is a great example of doing the right thing when called upon. Hat's off to you both. Respect.
So glad that everyone was safe and were able to at least save the RV. There are always so many RVers that are always willing to help.
THANK YOU! I learned three important lessons watching this video. In 2019 my 89 year old father sold his Class A thinking he was done traveling, that lasted 2 weeks before he started looking for something I (his daughter, me) would be comfortable driving. The biggest problem with Class A and Super C was he struggled to climb the steep steps to get in, so he settled on buying a 32 foot, gas, Class C which was lower to the ground. He has over 40 years of RVing and I have 3 so its still a learning curve for me and he really doesn’t tell me anything so I’ve started reading and watching videos to learn. With his Class A it had a built-in TPMS, to me its like huh? Of course with the cheaper Class C it doesn’t have the bells and whistles. Dad had the RV dealer change out the backup camera so he could monitor the tow car unfortunately you can only see the front end of the car. When I asked him about the TPMS at his age he doesn’t realize technology is always improving and he said “they’re all just junk”. Sorry dad, your last coach was 13 years old, I think they’ve improved, I bought one! Watching your video and you explaining how you disconnected the burning car from the coach, I’m going to be swapping out dads locking cotter pin for one with a clip. And lesson number three, have more then one fire extinguisher inside the rv. My dad now at 91 has an amazing memory and has RVed in every land lock state in America and every province in Canada. He now has learned you can’t just show up anymore at a campground and think they have openings and when I’m booking our campgrounds for our travels I can ask about a campground and get a yes or no response like “I stayed there 32 years ago and blah blah blah I’ll never stay at their campground again” or while driving he’ll describe a campground to a tee like “slow down there’s a amazing little campground down this next road and we’ll stop for the night” here we are driving out in the middle of nowhere and there’s not even a sign for the campground and he was right. “Dad, how many times have you stayed here?” His reply “once 24 years ago” the stories this man could tell about his travels!
I love everything about this! This is why we do what we do.....to help folks make an informed decision and let the, know what works. I have replaced my locking hitch pin with a regular pin with a cotter pin while traveling. When I stop and/or unhook the Jeep for the night, I will add my locking pin. Good call on getting a TPMS and more extinguishers! Have fun and enjoy your Dad's stories!!!
I wish you had a T shirt that said thank you to the vets. I’m not a vet, chose not to join at the tail end of Vietnam War, so I don’t want to give the impression that I am a vet, but I do appreciate all the sacrifices you have made and would buy something that recognizes you vets for what you are - heroes!!!
Dave. Please dive into their site as they do have many items. You can also join in on the help for Home for Vets. I understand that many who could, but chose not to join are no less patriotic.

Call Chad, he and Tara I think did a comparison on TPMS’s. I rely both on Chad and Eric’s (TechnoRV) recommendations. Those guys know their stuff.
I love it. Phil wearing a “Lazy Hiker” shirt and Stacey wearing a “Strong Woman” shirt. Perfect!! 😂
LOL
Thanks for stopping to help most would have kept going!!!!!!!! Glad everyone was ok!! 😇😇😇
Glad you were there to assist! I’ve learned that its a good idea to always wear ‘real’ shoes when on the road, not flip flops or flimsy sandals, so if you need to move fast you have sturdy footwear. I’ve started carrying a FireBall extinguisher, in addition to several traditional extinguishers, for emergencies.
Absolutely, I have several Fire Extinguishers with me at all times 2 in my Truck and 4 in my rig as my Brother taught me this lesson. He burned is Newly Renovated Dune Buggy to the ground not having a fire extinguisher so I try and be prepared. I pray I never need them!! Scary
TST 507 TPMS is the way to go!! Love mine and it saved me a brand new tire right after putting it on. The valve stem went bad and starting losing air fast. Without the TST TPMS I wouldn't have known about it until after I ruined that brand new tire. I'll never be without my TPMS again
I’m going over my emergency plans for our RV. Thanks for helping those folks, and shooting this video. I’m doing TPS now.
You guys are Hero’s!! and humble at that. Thank you for real life reporting and lessons learned. God had you both there for a reason!
I bought a TPMS and installed it the first day while at the dealer picking up the trailer. I noticed that one of the tires was at 50%. The dealer said they might have picked up a nail while moving it. They replaced the tire immediately. Saved me a lot of trouble
Also probably a good thing to use the extinguishers to replace and keep them new.
Wow, what a day!!! Thankfully no one was hurt and the owner was in good spirits.
We use the TM-88C and love it. Might be worth a look. -Chris & Suzannah
So thankful no one was injured! Love that people were actually HELPING instead of standing back videoing. Nice to see people helping each other again, just like the old days. I just hope more people will do the same. God Bless You All!
Bless you and the others who stopped to help! Nice to see good folks helping out those in need.
Added Pooler Ga Outlets to my boondocking list. Last time in Savannah we stayed in the hospital parking lot, worked for one night and ended up in Sams club next night. RV parks were all full. Loved watching this episode.
"Every Sailor is a firefighter!" Love it, Bravo Zulu.
Wow, what a scary situation! So glad everyone is safe. 🙏
Your videos are consistently honest, authentic, informative, and unpretentious. They are very helpful as I plan for my “someday”!
I appreciate that!
So glad you were able to help and everyone is safe! We're definitely glad we have a TPMS!
I put TPMS on my 5th wheel and TV the day we picked it up before moving the rig. Worth every penny!
We carry three extinguishers in our 5th wheel and two in out truck.
So glad to see everyone is safe, veteran responds without a second thought to help protect lives and property to the best of their ability. As a Retired Veteran and fellow Fulltime RVer I salute your heroic effort. You helped save that families home. THANK YOU as for your TPMS we use the TST TPMS but it does have a repeater. It has performed flawlessly and saved our hind ends twice. This unit does have a color monitor. Again great job and Thank you for sharing your adventures and DIY videos. 🏅🏅🏅🏅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍
Thank you, Ben!!!
I am very happy for those folks that you and others were there to help them! What a scary moment!!
Glad the family was safe.. and thank you for stopping to help..
Well done guys!! Thanks for your service and being GREAT people!!
This video sparked a conversation reminder of where the fire extinguishers are in our rig. Safety is not always an exciting topic, but it is sure an important one! Also, we have used the RVI tpms for about 5 years now and are very happy with it. Great customer support as well.
You both did the right thing HELPING is more important than filming. Bless you both for being there and helping!
Thank you for helping! When trouble happens it is so scarey and having concerned good people stop is wonderful!
It is so reassuring that the RV community has helpful people like you. Thank you for helping that family out and for bringing the message of helping others to the group.
Your coverage of the situation was great, people are ridiculous.
Thank the Lord everyone is safe. TPMS all the way!!! Thank you for all the help you give to others. Safe travels!
So many lessons to learn, I’m very relieved to hear everyone is ok, these things happen, and the fact that you and so many others stopped to help reminds us all that there are way more good people out there then bad!
Good for you. RV people are the best people! Happy to hear the family are all okay! Kudos to you both! Stay safe!!
Kudos to you for being prepared willing and able to help and not turning on the video first. Speaks volumes about you and the RV community.
Thank you, Thomas.
Thank you for being on the spot to help that family. I do need to call Phil out about "not running for a while". When does the Navy run, besides to the chow hall? All jokes aside, you two are great.
Y’all are good people, so glad you were able to help those people, so glad no one was hurt and so sad they lost their SUV.
It is awesome that you guys were able to help them out. Hope to see you on the road!
Phil, you've hammered home the point for having a TPMS from the very beginning. Heck you had one before you had an RV. TPMS is not a luxury. This video puts an exclamation mark on that point!
Spot on, Tom!
You two are the nicest people!
Thanks Staci!
Y’all were meant to be there to help that family! We have a few years before we start our road travel and really enjoy your channel. You’re teaching us a lot! Thank you!
Wow. Feel so bad for him. Glad everyone's OK. God Bless you for helping.
Love HappilyEverHanks...
I've been watching you guys for a while and enjoy your informative videos. We are not full timers (yet) but getting there. On another note, I'm wondering when PHIL will let his hair and/or beard grow out just a tad bit. LOL. He's still sporting that high and tight ---- like I did for many years after I retired from the USMC. Hopefully one day we will run into you all on the road. God bless and stay safe.
You guys are great ! Glad no one was injured.
Life needs more kindness. Thank you Phil & Stacy for your service to America today and every day.
TST RV TPMS Color screen and all... 😁💖 OLT
Wear did you get that Strong Women Shirt? I love it!
Agree 100%!
The Loft
Good work helping them out of a very scary situation! Safety is something we all need to pay closer attention to, for sure.
Glad you acted fast and didn't just drive past. You two are very blessed with love and kindness
I don’t know how many times we’ve been in that position. Somehow it always seems to work out.
Yeah, it was fine.
TireMinder i10 color display up to 20 tires. Comes with repeater to reach all sensors and eliminate interference. You don’t have to use the repeater but it eliminates the problem you were having with your unit finding signal from the toad. I installed my repeater behind the chassis battery and it runs off the chassis battery and turns off when turning off the chassis disconnect. Try it, you’ll like it.
Are you still using RV Trip Wizard?
Yes. I like it much better than the Dyrt.
Phil and Stacy at the right place at the right time. Glad you could help a fellow RVer. Great video.
Thank you for your stopping to help the family in need.....the world needs to see more of that theses days. You guys are awesome that you took action first and the camera was second. We are now looking to get a tpms system now bc of this video!
Wow. So glad no one was hurt and they didn’t lose their rig. Thank you for helping them. You’re truly kind folks!
Thank goodness you came along when you did...how scary..glad no one got hurt
You guys are really good people, the kind we need more of in this world. I enjoy your channel so much.
So scary. That family is truly blessed kind people stopped to help. Glad to hear the family is ok.
Dont worry about not getting footage, Stacey. You are a nurse first! We all understand and wouldn't want it any other way! You guys keep being the role models for us RVers out there. No, you're not perfect, but you are real, and tell us what you learned so we don't have to learn the hard way in some instances! Thank you for all you do!
Kudos, Phil and Stacey! That Navy firefighter training paid off. Proud you could help out...we all need a hand from time to time. Thanks for sharing.
You two are great people who are willing to get involved to help others. Glad everyone’s ok and I’m sure you made some new friends who were grateful for your assistance.
You guys were awesome by pulling over and helping those people. I sure with your help it kept the RV from burning. God bless you both and stay safe. Love your videos.
Thank you for being such thoughtful, caring, quick-thinking people. There’s obviously a reason you happened along at exactly the right time. Great job. Great video.
The perfect video to highlight the absolute importance of having a way to monitor your tires. THANK YOU!!!
Nicely done with helping someone in need!
We are hearing more and more about people having trouble finding a place to stay and it scares us.
Today's video hit 2 of our biggest fears: fire and finding a place to stay.
So glad everyone was safe and hope Phil’s knee is feeling better! Super Phil to the rescue! What a day, I bet you two were beat! Thank you for your big hearts and great videos. Hugs and safe travels!
Your TPMS problem held you up enough to help a fellow journeyer out. Good job helping.
Another wonderful video from you guys!! And wow, what a learning experience regarding the TPMS. I'll join the chorus of fans admiring y'all for taking care of the family first and helping them out before turning the camera on. You are just such wonderful people!! That was some powerful stuff and great advice. Phil, I hope your knee is better soon!!
So glad you helped out that family in trouble. We agree, whole-heartedly, that a TPMS is a good idea when RVing!
Glad you guy's where able to help. Stay safe
Glad no one was injured and you all were there to help them out. How very scary.
Not even thinking about the 'quality' of footage! So happy to hear everyone was safe and loved how you helped out and how the RV community is so caring for each other!
You guys are great. It was beyond helpful for you guys to stop and give a hand to those people who lost their super c and their possessions. Awesome to see people lend a helping hand. Thank God no one was hurt.
Oh MY!!!! It’s awesome that you guys could be there help and possibly save there rig. Way to go!!
Great job helping those people out! That's being a good neighbor in their worst moment.
Wow that was so nice of you guys to help. most people would keep on going thank you for being a positive influence
Hats off to you both for rushing to the aid of the Super C owner by helping to save his rig from the towable fire and in using your training to assist.
Salute, you guys.
Safety safety safety.
Good lesson for all of us.
Y’all did great, we are a lot like you two. We will help anyone anytime when we are able to. god bless y’all.
So glad you were there to help!!! Being able to monitor my tire temperature is more important to me than the PSI in a lot of ways. And yes, our EEZRV tire monitor also takes a while to cycle. Although I do like it a lot better than our last (other brand) tire monitor.
We just bought our first rv and we truly appreciate y’all’s videos they sure have given us so much information thank y’all so much!!!
You guys are heroes. God bless both of you. Stay safe. Steve in NYC.
Glad you were able to help and everyone was OK.
Good on y’all! For stopping for people in need!
Safety first!! Stopping to help someone in need is just the right thing to do. Kudos to both of you. Whoever thinks “why didn you get more video coverage” has obviously NOT been in a similar situation. Love you 2 (and Gizzy). Thank you for your military service and all the valuable info you put out to the RV community. Long time subscriber and supporters here in GA. Safe travels!!
Thank you for helping that family! I can't imagine how scary that was for everyone. Very sweet that you ran with your fire extinguishers and helped them unhook their motorhome. You two are awesome!
Thank you so much!
We enjoyed this video and your message about having all the proper safety stuff was heard loud and clear. Seeing that vehicle fire on the road way must have got your hearts pumping. As a former first responder I have seen first hand how fast a vehicle fire can spread. Anyways good job.
