This Park Is NOT For Big Rigs!😬 (Beaver Creek State Park) & Garage Door Crisis
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 07. 2024
- In this episode of Wandering Wagners we stayed at a State Park that is not for Big Rigs! It is a new Ohio State Park to us so we were happy to have Mikes first trip after his emergency appendectomy here with our friends @FollowingtheFitchs and @enroutewithchuckandcherie .
This of course after we were able to get our garage door open and get our @NeXusRV Wraith Super C RV out of the garage! Mike suspected the capacitor was bad and after searching for one we finally fixed the issue and we were back in business.
We traveled to Beaver Creek State Park in East Liverpool, Ohio. This campground is mostly primitive. There are only about 8 electric sites, no water, no flush toilets, but they do have a dump station across the street. We originally reserved site 8 but ended up taking site 7 after the others were too unlevel.
We were able to discover what a sun shower was, and Lynn went hiking. Mike and Piper needed to rest so they all stayed back. This park also has a Pioneer Village which was cool to see, except it is closed for the season, so if you'd prefer to explore this where the Village is open you'll have to go starting in May.
This campground, and dump station are pretty tight, and the cul-de-sacs at the end of the rows are tight and i don't think the Wraith could have made it around so to exit we had to do some maneuvering to get out since the sites are all angled.
Overall we had a great time!

Good to see Mike out and about . 👍✊
Thank you! It really felt great to be out camping again, especially with friends😁
I'm glad you are back on your feet, Mike
Thanks! Me too😁
Eastern Ohio can be so pretty, hills and all. Thanks for sharing.
It was pretty! Wouldn't trust the water here though😂
@@WanderingWagners 😒🚰
You and Mike are entertaining tour guides. It was fun watching Lynn scrub the hottub!
At least we have that going for us haha if we aren't that educational at least we are entertaining😁
You six are much better then us. We’re doing winter camping, in South Carolina. 😉. I don’t like the cold. Then we’ll put it away until we go to Lake Loramie the first weekend in April for the eclipse. Have fun winter camping this year. Hopefully we’ll see you in the spring.
We are hoping to see some cold and snow here soon!❄️❄️
Also Guilford lake state park is very nice in the warmer weather months. A pontoon boat rental is available at Mark’s Landing restaurant around the other side of the lake from the campground. We love camping in both Ohio and Michigan state parks. We have a 2018 32 ft long Jayco travel trailer.
Chuck and Cherie have mentioned that park as well. Maybe we will hit it up when we are back out that way😁
Thank you, very informative for Northern Ohio RVers.
Glad it was helpful!
So glad I stayed till the end. ❤
Sometimes we leave the best for last and if you're dedicated you'll see it😂
Glad to see you beautiful people out enjoying
Thank you!😁 We had such a great time
@WanderingWagners I would figure Mike would walk a 100 miles following you even if his leg was broken 😉
Haha he will be back at it soon enough😎
Glad seeing my favorite CZcams couple at it again ❤❤ much love
Thank you! It felt great to be back out there😁 we think it helped make it more fun with friends since Mike couldn't hike this time
So glad I watched until the very end 🔥🤣
😂👙 dedication pays off
This campground seems like it has a lot of offer. We have seven working Covered Bridges in Berks County. They are fun to check out. Glad you got to do some Fitchin'! Nice job, glad Mike is healing up.
For a small, out of the way park, it does offer quite a bit! Mike really enjoyed the pioneer village too
Happy Dance time !! Good to see yall back at it !!
Thank you! We are happy to be back at it😁
Mike, glad you are out and about!
Thank you! Felt great to camp again
When I was in school many many years ago we were told the reason glass window pains have that appearance is because glass many years ago would actually melt to a point. It was something about how glass was made. I'll see if I can find any actual information on that.
Yeah old glad has a wave to it. That's how the windows were in the old farm house I grew up in. We weren't sure if they had the different glass on purpose so people could see inside or if they couldn't find the old glass to replace broken pane
Hi both of you. Good to see you Mike looking good and of course you, Lynn stay safe and well look after yourself see you in the next one ❤👍🇬🇧
Thanks! Feeling pretty good lately. Things are healing up nicely😁
@@WanderingWagners good to hear that keep playing it safe. You will get there eventually.
You guys have the same inappropriate sense of humor that we do. 🤣
Haha good to know we aren't the only ones😁
Over the years I've had to replaced many motor start capacitors. Often close is good enough, but I retain the original so that is always have it for reference otherwise it's easy to say close enough there next few times and end up with a capacitor that is a non functional vastly different value. Garage doors lifted, air conditioners compressor and large fan motors are commonly in need of replacement start capacitors.
When in doubt change the capacitor out first haha more often than not, it'll fix it!
Eastern Ohio hills!💪🌲
Beautiful area for sure
Hi Mike. I serviced and installed doors and openers for over 10 years. You can always use one size larger capacitor but not a smaller one. Nice job.
Thanks for the info! Glad we got that right haha we do have the exact capacitor on hand currently as well too
Make sure when taking out capacitors that you discharge it. If you put a finger or you touch both terminals to your body by accident it will hurt and if a high amp capacitor it could cause severe injury. Pour some water in a spot on the ground, then using a pair of thick gloves, poke the terminals in the damp ground.
I'm very familiar with electrical systems👍🏻 thanks though!
@@WanderingWagners just trying to be safe! Remembers in my business is always good!
Watching your videos has convinced me never to be a camper unless it's in a Hilton.
That's ok... More campsites available for us to use😁
Welcome to my hometown state park. You’re definitely right about it being a pain for bigger rigs. I take my 38’ class A up there to dump when we return home sometimes. Hope you enjoyed our little park.
Yeah, it was tight! Our Wraith has a great turn radius but geeze there was no good way to get around this campground. The cul-de-sacs at the ends were even tighter... Can't imagine being here with a full park!
I have been following you two since the Airstream days. I went out and bit the bullet and bought a 2009 Coachman Concord 32' Class C with only 40000 miles. Its not a Super C buts its my first RV. Layla (my dog) and I are looking forward to some spring, summer and fall camping. Winter camping is out in the Ottawa area because our winters get down to -20 to -30 celcius. Hoping for a quick recovery for you Mike and bikini season for Lynn 😁Stay safe
We appreciate the support throughout the years😁👏🏻 congratulations on your motorhome! We definitely prefer a motorhome to a trailer but anything to camp in is better than nothing. Stay warm up there!❄️
Glad your recovery is going good. It's great you two know how to fix so many different things. And love the wallpaper you used. Looks cool and out doorzy really brightens up hall
Thanks so much! Mike is quite the handy man luckily😊
The wallpaper turned out great and love how it brightened up the space
I now live full time in a small RV at a campground in NC. New to this so I started looking at videos how to take care of the RV and came across you guys. Been really enjoying your videos love your sense of humor and the innuendos. That bacon did look good lol. Enjoy the virtual traveling and all the tips. Can't wait for summer to come back time for a swim😍Much love!
Thanks! Glad to hear you're enjoying our videos👏🏻 we like to have fun no matter what we are going😁
Good to see You on the mend Mike, God Be With You Both. And Thank eFor Blessing us With Your Adventures. Be Careful Mike, and Stay Blessed.
Thanks so much! Appreciate that and I'm getting closer to 100% everyday😊
Mike God bless and be careful 🙏 you have nothing to prove but glad you're feeling better happy holidays 🎄🧑🎄☃️
Feeling better everyday! Can't wait to hike again
Back in the late 1980’s or early 1990’s my dad took me to see the barn he help build when he was in his early 20’s. Unfortunately, I don’t have picture of it.
Very cool!👏🏻😁
Great video Lynn. Glad Mike is on the mend. Love watching you winter camp so I can sit my butt in the house and stay warm doing it lol.
Haha glad you can live vicariously through our Winter travels❄️😁
Glad to see y'all got to get out and do some camping Mike seems to be doing better but I'm sure it will take some time so be careful and don't over do I'll be waiting until the next one
Thanks! Felt good to get back out there camping. Mike is almost all better but taking it easy still
Good to see Mike getting back to nearly normal. We are looking at a Super C as our next RV. Maybe a Renegade. Safe travels and Happy Holidays! Get some Cheer up in here!!
Renegades are nice units! Hopefully you find one you're happy with
@@WanderingWagners We put a deposit down on a Verona 36 VSB yesterday. Pickup this next week - super excited.
@jeepsrvs6461 hopefully you'll love it! All new RVs have bugs to workout in the beginning but hopefully you won't have any😁👏🏻
Always love your winter camping videos.
Hopefully it'll start looking and feeling more like Winter soon!❄️❄️
Fun trip! Glad we got that one checked off our list!
So much better with friends here! Glad you guys made it
Thanks for the egg ring idea , I just ordered some from amazon ! lol 😊😊 Merry Christmas 🎄
Enjoy! They've been working out great😁
Awesome, Mikey is back.. right at the start of the video, my man cracked one.. Hope you're feeling better, Mike!!!
Thanks, feeling better everyday!
Geez, glad you were able to get your rig out of the garage, out of your campsite, and out of the dump station. 😮 Hi Fitches!
If I didn't know better I'd think something was telling us not to go😂 we were looking forward to this trip since we were going with friends... Just not meant for big rigs! Fitch's had a tough time maneuvering the park and dump station too
WOW! Yikes!@@WanderingWagners
Goodness... What's that saying "When it 🌧️...It pours"😂😂🤣🤣.. It's great to see Mr. Mike feeling better... Well Done Mr. Mike ‼️👏🏾👏🏾... Garage 🚪s ain't got nothing on you 😂😂... Also glad to see y'all 🏕️ again...☀️🚿❓❓🤷🏾... Nope not interested in ☀️🚿 either 🙅🏾😂😂I had 🎄 decorations up in late November too Mrs. Lynn 😂😂...Lordy Ladies 😂😂..Those playground 🛝 can be tricky 🤣🤣🤣...Mr. Mike is definitely feeling better.."IT'S NOT "...Lordy I was cracking up 🤣🤣...I agree guys... Everything looked very tight at that campground...But it is indeed a beautiful place...Stay safe...Later guys 👋🏾😊❤
We are happy the garage door was just a capacitor and nothing worse! Also thankful we could find a replacement🤣
The slide clip was hilarious! Andrea is known for falling easily so this was right up her alley haha!
Overall great trip with friends!
That was a great 👍 trip
Glad you enjoyed it!
The capacitor gives the motor extra energy to start.
Starting the troubleshooting at the capacitor is always a smart move
Very nice video,thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you! Felt great to be back camping again
OK Mike Dr. Johnny Lightning says no alligator wresteling or bull fighting until you are completely healed, and even then It may not be a good idea. But seriously glad things are coming along well. As for the sun shower there is a thing that is sold a boating stores that is called a sun shower. It's basically a bag with a shower head on the end that you heat in the sun and then take a shower with it. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
We investigated the sun shower later in the video. I've seen people bring their own shower tents but I've never seen a building or heard it called a sun shower haha overall it was a great trip and happy to be back at it!
glad to see you are back on the road go slow dont rush get fully covered
Feeling pretty good lately and the incisions are pretty much all healed up. Still taking it easy though
I love you guys!
Thank you! We really appreciate that.♥️😊
Glad to see mike is doing better, another great video from you guys. Take care of yourselves and Merry Christmas to you all.
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too🎄 Mike is feeling about 95% now
Hey, tulip trees have big leaf like a maple leaf with like a flower in it they used to use them years ago for ship's Mass cuz they were so straight and tall
Good to know!
" I'm sure Mike is disappointed he couldn't do it..."
Mike: Sprawled out on the bed. Bowl of popcorn on one side, a Lemon Meringue Pie on the other....Football on the TV....
Dude is suffering HORRIBLY.
He did send me a pic with him and the dogs cuddled up under a blanket looking awfully cozy🤣
I looked forward to school, but I grew up on a ranch 15 miles from nearest town.
Lucky you enjoyed school!
The town Barber was equipped to remove an appendix!
Not sure I'd trust that but hey at that time is life and death anyway lol
Great job on the repairs Mike hope your felling better soon! Awesome ending to the video!!!
Thanks! Sometimes we leave a little treat at the end for the dedicated viewers🤣
A big helloooo from Youngstown, you will see big improvements as the days pass. Keep up the great videos.
We weren't too far from ya😊 it was a lot of fun here and great to get back out camping
Tulip trees are everywhere in the Smoky Mtns. They will grow to be VERY big. 16-18ft or bigger in diameter is not unusual... Get well soon!!
Good to know! I can't believe I've never heard of a tulip tree before this haha
Speedy recovery my friend
Thanks! Getting there. Looking forward to being back to 100%
Great to see you guys back enjoying the world problems the us poor people enjoy every day 😂 Have a Merry Merry and a Happy Happy 🎉 B&J
Thanks! We had a great time on this trip and happy we could fix the garage door within a few days
@@WanderingWagners where’s the bikini videos??😂
@robertspier9283 guess you didn't watch the teaser at the end?🤣
@@WanderingWagners
No I will have to get on that. I hate to miss any skin. 😊
Gretchen’s lock part of the park which is Sprucevale is the haunted part, Gretchen’s dad was building the lock and she died and was supposed haunts it
I guess we were pretty close but didn't see her haha Mike scared her away🤣
If you want to try some excellent bacon try to find wild boar bacon. Even my vegetarian DW will break down for it! Question: I wonder if the Wandering Wagoners wonder what wonderful wandering is next. One can only wonder.
Never even heard/or have seen that anywhere before haha probably because we don't have them up here haha sounds pretty good though
The CAP replacement should really match so as not to damage something else downstream. Recommend putting the “right one” in when it arrives and storing the overnight one as emergency backup. I used many that size in my EE Motors classes. Burned up a motor or two with wrong capacitors. Especially on long duty cycles.
The numbers on the starting capacitor are the range of the capacitance. It is fine. I was an electronics engineer for 40 years.
Happy to have your professional input on this!
We definitely have a backup now! We were happy it worked for the interim
glad mike was able to go on another camping trip and how is Miss Piper doing now...just wondering did you have camping withdrawals ahha
We definitely had camping withdrawals! Especially since we had time off planned to go travel and couldn't go Haha
Piper is improving but we need to get back with the vet for their professional opinion
You all had me at bacon.
🤣 and this bacon was amazing
im about 20 min away from that park and about 2 min away from guilford lake state park! if you decide to head this way i would like to get a picture with you guys....it would help promote my mobile rv repair business
We had a nice time here with friends! We will keep Guilford in mind for next time
Wish I would have known you were in the area, this is less than 10 minutes from my house.
Another time😊
Your the Man
I do what I can... Thank you!😎
Sandy Beaver canal.... Sounds painful 😮
🤣 right?! Not the best names in this part of the country
I remember the early days when Mike was a young man 😂 LOL
Haha we were all a lot younger back then🤣
Ohhhh behave! 😂
🤣 never! No fun in that lol
❤ I'm glad to see you are feeling better after your surgery and for the little woman it was good to see the bikini clip at the end of the video, I can't wait to see the next video
Thanks for watching, it was great to get back out after a long stretch at home for us😁
2 questions for you guys...What GPS are you using? We've been using googlemaps and our phones but it has taken us a few places I would rather not be in a 40ft motorhome... I've been thinking about buying an RV specific GPS just for the routing.
and...
How do you keep your lines from freezing and how are you dealing with heat (space heaters / gas furnace) winter camping? Our class A feels terrible under insulated for winter temps in OH.
The GPS is a Garmin but it's not specific to RVs/trucks. With Mike's background as a truck driver he's more familiar with just following road signs and an Atlas. Haha we have it just as a basic guide for ETA.
Because our RV is on a truck chassis the water lines are all inside the body, and our fresh water tank is under our bed. The black and gray tanks are in the dump bay and we added an outlet and space heater for when it's cold. We heat almost exclusively with electric heaters and the furnace only kicks on if it's super cold/windy. We've camped down to 0F regular air temp without issues
Can't believe you put your shoes on for that. 😅
Haha safety first😂
What you missed Mike on the hike
I did miss Mike and the dogs on the hike😊
👍🏽
Thanks for watching!😊
It's a private shower for a solar bag to heat the water, probably don't want people to shower outside at their site
I would expect the roof to be a window for solar heat to help the water get/stay hot... Later in the video I explored it more
@@WanderingWagners yea you would think or have the bag outside in the sun 🤣
What is the dimensions on the garage door and garage? Need to build a garage for my rig just trying to get an idea.
The garage is 25 x 40 and the door is 20 ft wide and 13 feet tall.
That park is close to me
Nice! This was the first time we visited this park
Microfarad is such a great word, unlike moist.
Haha never understood why some people don't like moist... But microfarad is a better word overall haha
The Wraith isn’t gonna fit in that bridge. Just saying.
Nope! There are warning signs saying no trailers or big vehicles for the single lane bridges ahead
Have you got no friends?
Not sure what you mean by this... We were here camping with friends😂
