You, Me & the RV
Just got all teary when Phil brushed off that headstone. Thank you for all you do to honor our service people.
Thank you. It was very emotional being there as well.
Same 🥺
Thank you for your service. Starting the video with that made an old man cry
I think that many people are wondering why the flags have to be identically placed. They just don't understand respect and tradition. It makes me proud to see so many volunteers. Thank you all for caring about the fallen.
Thank you!
It looks so amazing, displays unity, so orderly and replicates the precision the troops display when on parade. 🇨🇦💞
Thank you for placing the flags and honoring our fallen heros!
As a fellow Veteran, I thank for all you do for Veterans.
Thank you for putting the flags on the graves. My father and stepfather are both buried there. I appreciated it! ❤ I retired from the Air Force in 1997.
Hand Salute!
Phil, put baking soda down the drain and then cleaning vinegar. Leave it alone for 10min to 20min, you will see it foaming up, Then flush with hot water.
Being a veteran myself and thank you for your service and the many men and women who gave their lives, so I could my duty for this country. I definitely salute these past, present and future veterans.
Hand Salute!
Try baking soda in the drain & pour vinegar in. Stops smells and may clear the drain.
This procedure fixed our shower drain problem.
There are CZcamss showing the procedure for doing this.
Those are the heros... vets do not get the recognition they deserve! Can't say thank you for your service enough!
Hi Phil and Stacy,
Concerning your RV drain problem, check where the air vent that is allowing the water go down the drain into the RV drain site. An example of this is when you have a cup of coffee and you put a lid on the cup. The lid will have a small air hole in the lid to allow the air into the cup before you can drink the coffee from the cup. Best of luck with the RV sink drains.
Thanks. That is next on my list to check.
We LOVE you guys, I have tears in my eyes....thank you for the respect and care you give to our military men and women. Without them....we would not be the great country we are (well...i mean we "will be again" soon).
Thank you! Hand Salute!
From one Military Retire to another, thank you for all you both. Salute and Respect
Thanks for your service as well. Hand Salute!
Neither me or my husband are veterans. We do have a few on both sides of the family. That said, we ARE patriots!!! THANK YOU both for doing something so important! We live in a fairly small town now but I will definitely look into doing this. Ya’ll brought tears to my eyes.😉 We, as a family, are so incredibly grateful to those who have served and those that are serving!!!!! I try to come up with words that just aren’t enough…….ultimate respect and so much love! ❤❤❤
Well said, Lauriedoublemk, Hand Salute!
Thank you for serving and for putting out flags. I have 2 people I care about buried there.
Wow Phil! My dad is early 80’s Vietnam vet I’m Cold War navy vet, we do 5,000 flags every memorial holiday along with the other volunteers, between 3 cemetery’s. Makes ya think some when ya do this.
Hand Salute!
My father and step Mother are buried at Ft Sam Houston. Thank you both for your service!
Aww! Thank you for sharing that.
You're welcome. We're from Randolph AFB
Try putting baking soda down drain and then pour vinegar down drain. Let it work for about hr. Then pour boiling hot water down drain. If still slow do a second time. The bubbling of vinegar and b a king soda helps get all goop stuck in pipes. Works in shower drains also. And no harsh chemicals.
We feel your pain. Our latest adventure to Lambeau Field included our HWH jacks failing to retract, our Hydro-Hot not blowing heat into the living area, our fridge deciding it didn’t want to fire up on propane, and our TireMinder TPMS giving me 4 NS at once.
The jacks had to be pried up and we have an appointment at HWH in Moscow on our way back home to Oklahoma. I fixed our Hydro-Hot by smacking the check valve with a hammer. I found that I had to run the propane stove burner for a few minutes to get air out of the line for the fridge to ignite, and replaced 4 batteries in some of the affected TPMS sensors. It still came up with a NS occasionally, but cleared itself up after about 20 minutes.
I can’t wait until the trip home to see what happens next. 😂😂
Glad you are getting those issues figured out. It's always something with these machines.
Thank you for putting the flags on the headstones. God bless both of you 🙏
Thank you too!
wow, Trigger for me. Been a long time sense that has happened. Brought tears to my eyes and had the shakes, but so proud of my fallen brothers and sisters.
Agree, it was very emotional. Hand Salute to you!
Thank you for your service then and now!
Much appreciated
I can tell you about 2 snakes , one new low cost air vent and nothing worked to flow right. I took the vent off. put my finger at the vent to shut off water if it was going to overflow and it ran fine. Bought a new vent (higher prive unit) and it has worked ever since. Always start with the vent and realize if you plunge the sink you can distroy the vent.
You are lucky to have the easy to disassemble sink drain set up that you do. You may have to check that sink vent that I saw is in under there. Reading? I have started reading manuals, not completely but, LOL.
My mother and father are buried at Fort Sam Houston Cemetery. Thank you for being there and doing this!💕
Hand Salute!
We brought our sleep number bed 3 years ago and we can't imagine rv'ing without it. Although it does stick over 6 inches, we have the room to move around. When travel day comes, we use straps to fold the mattress and it takes about 15 seconds.
Nothing beats the perfect mattress for you! It changes everything. I am glad you found yours.
I've been to Fort Sam Houston, absolutely a beautiful military installation. I was stationed at Lakeland AFB.
Congratulations on the new mattress...Now you need a Beddy!
That's the plan!
Glad to see Phil is doing better with his wing and I hope you find your drain problem and it's something easy.
Thank you. The wing is healing nicely. Still working the drain issue.
You need some good old-fashioned Navy "bug juice" to clean that sink drain line.
Right! We used it to clean our brass fire hose nozzles and turnbuckles!
Stacy is so silly undoing the bed that was made.
She didn't remake it either!
Phil, to fix your slow drain try replacing the RV P-trap.
Lisa’s dad is buried at Fort Sam. Thank you!! ❤️❤️
If you did not resolve your "slow draining" sink, check your roof vent to see if some varment or something is cloging the venting.
Don & Honey
I did check the roof vent, all clear. The search continues.
God bless you for your service 🙏. And God bless America 🇺🇸 🙏❤
Hey simple thing I used to do for build up boil a large pot of water and slowly dump it down each of the drains
I hope your shoulder rehab heals well. Hugs Bro.
So far so good. I am not where I want to be, but getting close.
Interesting drain issue - worse sometimes, then nearly normal. Safe travels.
We love our Brooklyn Bedding mattress too! Perfect firmness/softness. That Ninja grill looks amazing. We need to check it out.
You should!
For a second there, I thought we were about to enter into a R rated video. Whoo, that was close Phil.
Recommended book to read; A Land remembered. It’s a book about Florida back in the ole days.
First, thank you for your respect to our Veterans!
Then, about the book club, (while I am not a good candidate for such) may I suggest the author Ayn Rand. In particular, Atlas Shrugged.
Happy & Safe journeys!
Ken
Thanks for sharing!
Probably already mentioned, but I’d try replacing that studor vent under the sink. Also called air admittance valve. Over time the rubber in the valve can get stuck and won’t let the drain line vent air, basically causing a vacuum in the line that won’t let it drain.
Thank you so much for showing this. I had no idea how the flags were put out. Thank you..
You are so welcome!
Thank you! I do Wreaths Across America where I live, I would love to do the flags.
Wonderful!
Phil
Try putting 1/2 half cup of Calgon Bath Oil Beads in the drain and a cup or 2 cups white vinegar next and let it set for a couple hours. We had a drain issue in our shower and none of the RV products worked. But this did the trick. So about once a month I do this in every drain when we are going site seeing, and we have had no issues in 2 years.
Great idea!
Oh my gosh! So emotional...thank you so much for sharing hopefully we'll find a place to do wreaths in December ❤🇺🇸
You are so welcome! I hope you find a location too. It is very rewarding.
@@todayissomeday I'm sure! I really got choked up watching 👀
The Minimal Mom has had their mattresses (RV and home) for a couple years. They love ALL of them.
I did that years ago in our local area in the Girl Scouts and we were dressed in our uniforms and performed our color guard!! It’s one thing I will never forget and one of my mom’s brothers are layed to rest there!!
Your flags memorial task is touching - from a Canadian Mil Spouse.
Thank you so much.
God Bless You both. 🇨🇦🙏From Canada. Respect to you Americans 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🌸✝️
Thank you. I (Phil) was born in Ottawa.
I ordered one for my home before I got my RV. And now I have a bunk size for my RV. I used to sell mattresses and this has been great. Plus the price for a good mattress can be a lot of money. So there prices are really good for a good product.
That is awesome!
Borax and dawn dish soap for holding tanks , drains and to clean pipes. This combo also takes care of the smells. Heat will make pipes accumulate mold and sludge. Trust me we live in Fla and have had our rig for 4 years It doesn’t take long for all the sludge to accumulate!😅. Happy Trails!
Check the vent pipe. The vent might be clogged casing the water to flow slowly
The first time I saw the Ninja smoker was on your channel. I watched many videos and bought the XL with the extra flat plate. I can't wait to get it and use it.
Thank you for your service.
Much appreciated.
On our 2021 RED 33AA we got a pea-trap from the OEM instead of the hassle of the clogging nature of a HepvO valve. A pea-trap takes up a little more room, but I reengineered the Tiffin plumbing to maximize the room under the sink, and it now accepts a regular 15" high trashcan.
Can you send pics to our email? I am interested in doing the same.
Thank you Phil & Stacie.
I just bought the NEW blackstone (suitcase titanium ceramic coated) adventure ready 20" camping model. I can't wait till it arrives. Best part is that it's small.
Hope you enjoy it!
Check and make sure your drain has air to help it drain.
For me... RVTW is quicker if you do all the site stops in sequence versus what you demonstrated, setting the beginning and end, then fill in the middle. When planning in sequence, each campground automatically shows a mileage distance from previous planned campground, making it easy to judge the daily drive. We keep our daily drive under 200mi, so when clicking on a potential "next" campground, I can quickly determine if it's too far or not far enough. When booking in sequence I also don't have to tell the app where to position the campsite stop, which is a real hassle. When planning in sequence the app automatically positions the stop in the itinerary right after the previous campsite. Planning in sequence saves lots of time for most travelers. However, your needs are different because you're more "event oriented", so you need to lock those event dates, but that creates more steps and hassle for all the fill-in campsites. The method you demonstrated is OK, and it works, but it's more work for the average camper.
Thank You! ❤
Baking soda and vinegar (let it sit awhile) followed by boiling hot water helps ... just like in a house. Check your Air Admittance Valve - not like in a house ;) - they need replacing every once in a while.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you! My brother is buried there.
Hand Salute!
Feelin' it?! Feelin' it?! 🤣🤣🤣
we were unsubscribed as well. Thanks for the reminder to check 👍👍
Welcome back!
looking at that hair cut definitely a former DI. Ooorah
Thank you! I was with the Navy Security Forces.
Thanks to all!!! Go Navy.
We cannot begin to thank you for this. As very, very long time subscribers, we thank you for your attention to our military. Our son is 18 years Air Force.
We went to Normandy and Paris on our honeymoon. The American Normandy cemeteries are the most saddest and proudest places on this Earth. We brought back a rosary my Dad had from France. We left it there on the cliffs. He was part of the invasion force. The military cemeteries throughout our country were to be respected and decorated according to President Lincoln... It was called "Decoration Day." We now call it Memorial Day.
Thank you for bringing to our attention the gift of respect.
Brendan & Lena
I had a blackstone but found it too heavy & troublesome to get out for a nite or two. So I gave it away then bought the cheapest most compact lightest Coleman camping grill. Extremely light and small. Get out & fire up in a minute. Throw away the aluminum foil & clean up done. Simple is better for me.
We had a signature hybrid and after a year of full timing it had body impressions in it so soft it was hard to get out of it. We warrantied it out and down graded for a solid memory foam model and it was just as bad. It only lasted 9 months. Now sleeping on a Cantwell mattress made in Corpus Christi and really liking it.
My husband has a suggestion. Check the vent that is in the top left corner under your sink. He says these go out all the time. It will prevent sink drainage if it is not working.
I was not signed in on my phone. So I’m still subscribed !!!
Yay! Perfect!
I’ve heard rumors about drain clogs of using a mixture of arm and hammer and vinegar of working really well so you might do some research Phil just trying to help out a fellow rv’er
Still Subscribed. Good video. We purchased a Brooklyn beading mattress a couple of years ago and it is great.
Awesome! Thank you!
If you think it is a food or grease clog try first running boiling water followed by box of baking soda followed by just enough water to get drain lines coated with baking soda. Follow baking soda with boiling vinegar. The fizzing of the baking soda / vinegar will dislodge stuff stuck to drain walls. After baking soda vinegar finishes fizzing rinse with more boiling water.
We did try the baking soda and vinegar. Next is boiling water.
One thing our plumber told us to do is to run boiling water through your pipes every once in a while to help clean those pipes out.
If your kitchen sink is in your slide, check the flexible connection between the slide and the rest of the coach. I had 2 motorhomes with the sink in the slide and found the flexable joint was the problem. Bent, pinched etc that will restrict flow. Good luck and safe travels!😊
We had that exact problem a few years ago. Hose was too long and getting kinked.
Have you installed the Seelevel tank monitoring system. It is very easy to do.
We have not. I will look into it.
Great video!! We love our Brooklyn Bedding Mattress. Maybe try a small manual 25 ft snake on that sink, Good Luck! Quite the outdoor kitchen at that sight very cool.
Great idea!! We love it here for the outdoor kitchen area.
Go to the hardware store get a plumbing snake. Run it down where the Y connects and that will fix your problem.
Did you mention exercise bands in this video? Have you ever shared which ones you like and have? Great video!
We use these, amzn.to/3RxDS0v.
@@todayissomeday Thanks! Love your channel and adventures and content!
Thank you!
Free shipping in the lower 48, not to Alaska. Wanted to order one but it’s an extra $125 to get it shipped up here.
Phil, we want to rv full time. My husband and I have both had our knees replaced. Does it hamper your ability to dump your tanks or other things? Thank you all that you! We will check out laying wreaths in the fall this is awesome!
Not at all. I can squat down, modified to the left a little, but I can do most things as before surgery. My only real issue is kneeling on the new knee. I can do it, but it doesn't like it. I say go for it! Once you get comfortable with the new knee, you will be good to go.
Stacy, my husband said that he saw some sourdough on your kitchen counter? Are you rinsing your bowls and utensils down the sink? This happened to us and yeah it’s still draining slow! But I no longer wash the sourdough dishes in the indoor sink. I use hot water outside. Love my sourdough!
My mom and dad are buried at Sam Houston National Cemetery.
Hand Salute!
you are good people!
Not sure how it works with RV plumbing but we were told to put boiling water down the drains it usually cleans it out.
I have back problems and looking at surgery soon. I would love to win one of those ❤ 😊
You guys are awesome
I love your videos! So much fun. Also I so appreciate you sharing all of the great information
Thanks so much!
FYI, I had been unsubscribed. So thanks for letting us know.
Love watching your channel. Question, do you have any concerns or issues with crime while you are out exploring?
Not at all. We do not leave anything of value outside. Our eBikes stayed locked up.
Next comment... love the flying Stacy from long time ago! Making the bed. We have a 2015 33aa and hate the crack in our king size bed.
Which mattress did you guys order? Thanks so much!
Brendan & Lena
The RV Signature Hybrid King
Phil If I am at the same spot doreing book stuff I will sit with you and we will do a shot Crown and a beer.
you guys need to cut down on the coffee lol
I bought one too. It is awesome. You will love it!!!!
Did you check your vent for the sink? Mud daubers like to build nests there and you've been stationary for a while. Glad you are mending well. Enjoying your posts!
I will have to get up there and check. I can't see anything from the ground. Great suggestion.
Flags In!
QUESTION?
Does your bed fold at the headboard end to allow the slide to come in, i.e., the pillow portion lifts to what is referred to as the tv viewing position
No, ours does not fold. The bed fits perfect when the slides are together.
Can i ask where your staying now. Love you're video's, had the Safe T steer installed on our 03 American Eagle this spring. Total game changer in steering.
We are in Castroville, TX at the Alsatian RV Resort.
I love my ninja I think I have everything they make lol 😂
Now that is a good review of Ninja!
