I love you guys! Boring? I prefer to say consistent! I will watch whatever you post. Love seeing Barkley living his best life! Warms my heart ❤️ ❤❤.
Consistent is a good word for it! Thanks for the continued support!
I Agree with You No Slides Just One More Thing To Brake & Leak Love Your Video 😀😀😀😀
That's my thought too!
Electric jacks are the bomb! We have a Lance 881 max and love it. When we get to our site the first thing we do is put the jacks down for stability. You should look into a lance 981 max. The floor pan is a game changer. It is a 4 season camper with a slide. Bigger tanks. Ac, the list goes on……. More head room when in bed, the bathroom is in the middle. Not when you first walk in…..we love love our max camper ❤
Glad to know theyre worth it! And I do like the idea of a mid-bath camper. I'll have to check out the 981, thanks for the suggestion!
My husband and I love watching y’all! We love Barkley, too! We haven’t thought of y’all as boring. We enjoy seeing the different places you go and getting ideas on good places. We would love to see more cooking outdoors. Excited about whatever your surprise is! Love you guys! 💜💜
Thanks for the support! We're in the market for a good outdoor cooking setup, we'll try to implement more of it this next year!
I look forward to your weekly video. You're my favorite channel. I'll watch anything you post.
Thanks for the support!!
I enjoy your videos as they are, not a fan of shorts. Glad Barkley is doing well!
My aunt and uncle travel internationally and we watch their dog for a month off and on. We camp in our RV with the dog , so she knows us.
I enjoyed your Colorado and Idaho adventures. You asked for suggestions. The timing might be wrong but you have the perfect rig to explore the inside passage up in Alaska. Since all travel in an rv is by ferry, your current rig is the cheapest way to do that. Before you upgrade to something larger, investigate numerous day time travel to new cities or islands and stay 3 days to a week at each. Temps don't require AC and you'll never need to use your jacks to unload your camper. The ferry offers the best way to see marine life (much better than a cruise). If this sounds interesting, board the ferry system at Prince Rupert and go north from there.
Great video keep doing what you are doing I am Surprised that Mackinaw was your least watched that is on my bucket list
We love watching your videos. The only reason we could think that Mackinaw island was less watched video was that it was too brief!! It’s so beautiful there, once you get past the tourist spots.
Agreed, we'd like to spend more time there and think there are some better non touristy options!
Definitely worth the visit, and thanks for the channel support!
Electric jacks and fast guns are the BOMB!
I never watch CZcams Shorts. I dislike them intensely and always steer clear of them.
Big like 👍. Love watching 👀 your videos 📹. See you on the next one adventurers ❤❤.
Thank you!
Just remove your vent fan and install an ac unit. Your camper should be pre wired for it. Wires are under that outlet cover next to the vent fan.
Absolutely, bought my 8000 squire without AC....put new unit in...easy peaky 🎉
It is pre wired yes, but we're hesitant on the added weight and it was only a huge need in Florida. But it'll be added on the next one if it doesn't come standard!
Some have said that CZcams likes you to do shorts. How about put the GoPro on Barkley on his walks? Barkley Vision! 😊
Barkley Vision sure would be a hit!
We had an 07 Lance 835 on a 06 Ram 2500. We also wanted a bigger camper. We went with a 2015 Ram 3500 and a 2018 Eagle Cap 811. It's the best decision we've ever made! The 811 has a slide, and they make the biggest bathroom in the industry. We've also done many upgrades including, 2 )1oo amp hour batteries, a side awning, 2) 200 watt solar panels a AC soft start and next up grade is a victron 3000 watt inverter.
The truck camper is awesome and loved the old one, which we called the sport model, and were now in to the " Luxury liner ". We LOVE IT!
Haha maybe we're in the market to upgrade to our version of the "luxury liner" as well. Maybe we'll see you out there!
A few more thoughts. Slideouts? Rv repair technicians hate them. They are notorious for leaking air and water as they age. More weight, expense, and maintenance. Electric jacks? No way. My Northstar Adventurer 8.5 Hardside Camper has the standard hapijack jacks. I put a bit in a portable electric drill. On high speed I can lower the jack plate to the ground in 7 seconds! Slow electric jack motors can't match this. Is your roof on your Lance camper metal? Hot and cold temperatures will cause the metal to expand and contract around the roof vents. Roof seals around these vents need to be checked for water intrusion. The Northstar Adventurer 8.5 has a EPDM rubber roof. Hardly any expansion and contraction around the roof vents. The Northstar Adventurer 8.5 Truck Camper is no longer in production. The new Northstar Wind Bandit has the same layout and floorplan. Finally. The Navajo Mechanics here at the Dodge Dealership in Farmington New Mexico say that the Cummins engine in my 1998 2500 Dodge truck is a million mile engine. A Navajo Lady overhauls the Diesel engines at the dealership! Wow. Aloha.
You two are just our favorites. And trust me. Jan and I watch a LOT of CZcams. We hope as we travel more that we’ll get to say hello in person one day.
Thanks, Vic! If our paths ever cross, it'll be great to catch up one day
2 years?! Wow! Boy does time fly! It has been a huge pleasure not only watching your channel grow, but watching the two of you grow into your roll as full time YTers!
I think you are heading in the right direction with your thoughts on your channel for the next year.
As for international travel…my personal opinion is only do it here and there. Your channel is about living full time in a truck camper. I used to follow a couple, about your age, who lived full time in a class , motorhome. I thoroughly enjoyed their videos, just as I do yours. However, they turned their channel into 100% international travel and I have yet to watch a single one of their videos…I followed them because the life style they led (just like yours) is the life style I hope to live one day. So, to be selfish, from my side, don’t change your business model too much.
Anyways, looking forward to what the next two years has to offer for the 3 of you! Excited to continue on the journey with you!
Btw might want to look into the Arctic Fox 865…aluminum framing, larger tanks, solids built 4 season camper and would offer you more room than your Lance. I’m no truck weight expert, but think you have enough truck to handle it, but might need to do a couple of suspension mods.
As always, stay safe out there…..
Thanks for the kind words, Mike! We're excited to get back in the camper and still so much area left to explore. The AF865 is an awesome camper, sure is heavy though!
Have a great rest of your week!
One additional suggestion ~ recommendation. If you'd be interested in a canoeing ~ camping trip to spend a little time away from the truck camper, check out the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Minnesota! Outfitters can provide all the gear, etc. that you'd need, and it's 1 million acres of pristine wilderness, and an area you will never forget. There's tons of wildlife and it's a great experience. Do a web search and you'll find a lot of great information on it!
Such a great idea, definitely something we’d be interested in and will be looking more into! Thanks!
Yall should travel to Canada! Some colder weather which sounds like it gets more views for you. Also there are some wonderful places to see along the way in the us to get up there! So proud for you two! Keep filming and having fun! BIG hugs to you!❤
We do plan on some Canada traveling this summer/fall! Thank, Nicole!
Kansas City, I lived in Olathe, KS for 10 yrs. Go to the Arabia Steamboat Museum downtown, attend the American Royal BBQ contest it is the largest in the nation. Held Around Sept 28th to Oct 2nd. Kansas City has so much to see. BBQ to taste. See Independence, MO, President Truman’s home.
You can rent a camper van in Iceland and do the loop. It is a excellent adventure for your first trip over seas. You can do the same in England, Ireland and Scotland!
A hole saw with minor cuts will solve your problem with that manual jacks by using cordless drill to crank it up and down
Love your vlogs thank you for sharing your story!!
I've really enjoyed this recap; thank you for filming it. You are my favorite camping channel.
I always love your videos because it does show me what a few days are like at a destination! I personally like more cooking involved. Maybe outdoor cooking? Always like the bathroom reviews! Great job on another successful year fulltime living on the road♡
We'd like to do more outdoor cooking as well! And the bathroom reviews do need a comeback, thanks for another year of support, Christine!
Thank you guys your videos are very informative. My wife and I have been watching your videos months before we got our own camper and you have been very helpful. BTW I hate the wind too.
Thanks guys - enjoy your videos very much.
Agreed long form videos are the way to go. If there were any shorts, I assume it would be Barkley. (always welcome).. or maybe an occasional outtake / interesting teaser to an upcoming video.
Agreed, that's likely how they would end up. No additional filming, just trying to lead viewers to our channel. We'll keep thinking on it!
This video is nicely done!
Always enjoy your content. Thank you for sharing and y’all are NOT boring.
Thank you, John!
I wouldn’t do shorts on the channel. I would try a meet up! I do like the Wandering Wagners channel and other CZcamsrs, do a meet up!
FYI, The more content you make I would watch it. I’m sure all your subscribers would also. 😊
Good to know!
I enjoy your channel every week. You are a very neat couple. Thanks for letting us know about your marital status and future. Enjoy your travels and keep having fun.
I love watching you guys and seeing little Barkley! Glad Barkley is doing better. I always look forward to see your videos. Keep it up!! Amelia, I love your sweater. Looks very comfy!!
We enjoy your videos and music selections
Thanks so much for doing this kind of video!! Look for to your future action packed video adventures. 😆
Glad you enjoyed it!
Living Large camping I enjoy all your videos they're interesting not boring when I'm watching them it puts a smile on my face
Thanks Dave!
I think you guys should head north you would love it and Connor you won’t have to worry about the heat. I am like you always hot and I spent 15 years living in Plano TX. I am glade to be in the mountains. Can’t wait to see the new camper 😜
Keep doing what you guys are doing,God bless an save travels🎉❤
Thank you!
Really! I loved that video in Mackinaw Island. We were just there 2yrs before.
Great video guy's, you have done well with the current set up.
If you ever decide to change out for a larger TC 😉 I would definitely have air bags installed. ( Air lift 7500xl) Is what I'm running with our TC.
Thank you for all the great videos week after week.
Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.
Stay safe
Eric and Karal
I look forward to your videos each week!! I actually boondocked last weekend for the first time. I always stay in campgrounds so it was fun for something different. You guys rock,
Always nice to try something out of your comfort zone! Glad you enjoyed the boondocking experience
Looking forward to your new visions for the future videos.
Thank you, Joey!
I enjoy your videos! I don't know why but I'm a sucker for project videos. Like diy upgrades to the camper or truck.
Thanks!
Thank you, Suzi!!
Loved this video. You both are amazing. Have fun and be safe. I look forward to the surprise. Give Barkley a treat from us.
Will do! And we'll see you back on Wednesday for the reveal!
I own a 2018 wood frame Northstar adventurer 8.5 Truck Camper. Dry weight is 1940 pounds. It is mounted on a 1998 Dodge 2500 4x4 Cummins Diesel with a 5 Speed manual transmission. From Farmington New Mexico to Cortez Colorado it got 19 MPG at highway speeds. 20-22 MPG when the camper is off the truck. A wood frame truck camper is a lot warmer than a hollow frame Aluminum camper. When camping near Gunnison Colorado at 10,000 feet elevation, the morning temperature inside this camper is 5-7 degrees warmer than the outside temperature. That is with no heater running at night. It would be warmer than that if 2 people were inside the camper. Aluminum frame campers can't match this. Air conditioning units weigh about 100 pounds and come with a $1300 price tag. Something to think about. This camper is only 7 feet wide. Less sway when your going or stopping. Storms when camping? In the late 1970's, a bad storm came through the Hamakua Coast on the Big Island of Hawaii. I saw it rain 48 inches of rain in 72 hours. Human graves were washed out into the ocean. Aloha!
We love watching you guys! I love the style of your videos and the music you use. We're with you on the slides. We bought a used 2004 Lance 1030 after looking at larger models that had slides. It's just heavier and introduces something else that can go wrong. Plus, like you said, when you stop for lunch, you can't just hop into the camper. As for our favorite thing--it's the A/C. We're in the southeast, so it's a must and as we look for something new that's a non-negotiable item to include. If you need some adventurous ideas, something fun we did last year was to use our camper as a home base for the night while we backpacked to a tent site for the night on the Appalachian Trail. (We're weekend campers.)
We have a 2000 Lance 820 which has all the things on your wish list. Electric jacks, ac,two propane tanks, and higher ceilings. We love it.
Lance. We have a 2004, 1121 Lance with Electric Jacks. GREAT!!! Especially at 79 yrs young.
YOU NEED AN ARCTIC FOX 811!! I GOT ONE. LOVE IT1
Your plans for the future sound intriguing and I’m looking forward to coming along for the ride.
Glad to have you on board!
We enjoy you guys every week. We still like watching even though we have to wait another week for the surprise😮😂!
No shorts!
It'll be a great surprise, we hope!
I know you mentioned Michigan was one of your favorite destinations, and with springtime and warmer weather right around the corner, I'd love to see you travel to State and National Parks in Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Having traveled, camped and fished in some of these states, I think you would have a great time exploring the diverse landscapes of the West and Midwest and your followers could suggest some great camping areas and destinations. As always, love your video's and safe travels!
We're definitely going to explore the midwest more, and nice because it's not as busy as Colorado (and others) in the summer!
The electric jacks are awesome! Since we aren’t full timing in our Lance camper, we take it on and off a lot.
I think Carol’s favorite piece of gear is a pop up shower tent when she wants to utilize the outdoor shower. It’s great because we’re not filling our gray tank.
Safe travels!
I loved the Mackinaw Island video. Some of my favorites are travel days and errands. Would love to see you visit more places. Historic sites or some film locations or monumental places like Mount Rushmore or the Grand Canyon. Quartzite to the truck camper rally would be cool also. Maybe some campfire cooking. I also watch Larry at Work Less Enjoy Life More and KennyofAllTrades and love their campfire recipes.
We do want to cook outdoors more, just waiting for the right setup so hopefully this summer!
A thought, change your existing solar panel to a 3 or 400 watt panel
Another note, we recently made the switch from truck camper to cargo trailer conversion. For our short weekend trips it was just too much work to load/unload. Also gave us some more room for the kiddos.
Get a cordless drill with a jack socket! Much love from Niceville, Florida!
We have one now! However, it only really helps for cranking the legs up once the camper is on. Its a little too touchy for the corners while were raising the camper up. Still nice to have, thanks for the comment and the support!
Aluminum frame is adding weight. All truck campers with aluminum frame still have wood in the core to run screws in and be secure. It does protect some from water and make a stronger connection, but not the siding composite, only the wood inside the aluminum. Just sayin!
We have enjoyed watching you tackle the challenges of the full time truck camper lifestyle. We are retiring this coming year and plan to hit the road full time in our truck camper also! We originally bought a Palomino Backpack, very similar to your Lance. We quickly determined the tank capacity was too small! We upgraded to a new-to-us Arctic Fox...four season TC. We were " anti slider's" too! But this one, with a single slide, increased our space as well as storage. And best of all when the slide is fully in we can still access our truck camper!
We would greatly love if you would share more details about your locations, campgrounds that you are visiting. We are always wondering where you're at exactly and what's the name of the businesses such as the restaurants or campgrounds that you're patronizing. It would also be helpful for you to include some of the details that you encounter when you're traveling from one location to another. Travel planning, destination choices and how you choose where you're going to camp are details that we would also be interested in hearing about! Are there any specific apps that you use? We look forward to the next year of traveling along with you!
I just HAD to comment on the BORING comment in this video. Never bored here!! I enjoy all your videos and watch them over and over. I watched everything back to the cargo trailer. Barkley is very adorable. He can really make me smile lol. Connor, you give us tons of useful information. I'm a fan of your old-fashioned chivalry towards Amelia. And Amelia, you inspire me to show my happier side every day. You both are such a pleasure all the time. I especially love watching the driving and traveling, the scenic shots on your hikes, and the drone shots of the overall areas are amazing! My husband and I get lots of ideas and tips to use on our camping trips.
Thank you for the incredibly kind words, Bree! We appreciate your continued support and here's to another great year together!
Connor & Amelia
I think incorporating more adventures such as sailing, water skiing, fishing, and I really like seeing cooking in the YT channels I follow. You two should consider maybe starting a cook book? You two are awesome! Love you guys! And Barkley is a bit irresistible 😍
Thanks for the input, lots of good ideas!!
I love watching your videos. I want to travel in the next year and a half if possible. I have a travel-trailer and I'm really looking at a truck camper. I was wondering if it would be easier or harder for a solo camper and the cat. Thank you for all the beautiful places you show. I live in ohio and I can't wait to see the west.
Definitely harder if you're wanting to take it on and off, but a trailer is harder to drive/backup solo. A TC is probably the perfect size for 1 and a cat!
Lance 1191 2015 has a slide, my 2nd fave is a Arctic Fox 1140 dry bath. My fav is a Host Yukon 11.6.
Do what you love, that's what makes a good video. Rain, snow, wind videos always seem to perform the best for all creators. Don't take advice from crazy unknown people like us in the internet! 😂
Sometimes it's the best (or most fun) advice! But agreed, people like to watch other people be miserable lol
There are so many used arctic fox campers out there with beautiful floor plans. They’re all season too. We have a Wolf Creek and it looks like yours on the inside and we wish we had the slide bigger model 990. We’ve met so many arctic fox owners and they can get in and out of their units even with the slides in, very few issues too. Something to think about. Love your travels. We travel with our little dog Finn and we’ve named our camper the Flying Finn 😅
I do love the AF865, if we could find an older model in our price range I'd drive almost anywhere in the country for it! Maybe we'll see you and Finn (well both Finns) on the road!
The electric jacks are awesome! Since we aren’t full timing in our Lance we take it on and off a lot.
I think Carol’s favorite piece of gear is a pop up shelter she uses for the outdoor shower when we’re boondocking. It’s about 3’ square and roughly 6’04” tall. It folds down flat and easy to store. Really cool!
Safe travels!
Glad to know the jacks are worth it, I think we stray away from taking it off just so we don't have to crank it back up! I've looked into the pop up outdoor shower, might have to rethink it because it would be nice for the extended stays. Thanks for the input, Doug and Carol!
After moving from a 29ft camper+truck to a motorhome we missed a lot our external kitchen so our current favorite gear is a small fishing table with sink and our 12V/110V cooler/freezer.
Together with the coleman grill it is the perfect set up .
Have had campers with slides for 8 years and didn't really have problems with them that was not solved under warranty.
I would say, based on our experience, that maintenance is not a reason to give them a pass but a truck camper with slides may get you over your payload....
Definitely like the portable sink and grill idea!
I think a lot of people including myself want the little details including financial what's the cost of everything!! Also what are the best place to camp for free or for the money. Love your videos and hope to see more information beside the vlogging cheers 🤙
Regardless of the situation, I am determined to avoid having a slide-out. According to everyone I've spoken with who has them, slides inevitably develop leaks.
I think you guys would love van life in Baja, Mexico!!! Check out some vlogs, we loved it!!❤
While we were snow camping in Idaho it sure did look appealing! I think we'd have to find a community to travel down there with, but its not off our list!
Skip the shorts. They are more frustrating than a full video. I enjoy watching your weekly adventures.
AN Arctic Fox model 865 may be a non-slide camper that you may want to look at. It's a little heavy though!
Good video. I agree with what some people think camping is it’s different to every person. We really like to go out with our truck camper and there has been times we spent the night at a campground with it. It’s been great both ways. I’d like to see you guys become members of the GPAA. And go hit every gold claim that they have in all 50 states that would be awesome to see in my opinion.
Agreed, there are many benefits to both types of camping! And thanks for the suggestion, never looked into the GPAA before
The Host Camper is made with Aluminum Structure... not sure who else makes aluminum frame campers but I know others exists. I purchased a brand new late 2021 Yukon and a year later had water leaks coming in from all three slides. And in 2023 found water leaks coming in through the top back corner. Also, the Host Camper is not 4 season... during winter the floor gets really cold and you will also feel the cold draft coming in through the slides. Some sections on the over-cab don't seem to be well insulated especially at the front. Also, when getting into the shower you will feel like you are floating... meaning, the shower floor does not feel sturdy and firm when you step into it so you will notice the shower floor flexing. And another thing to keep in mind is that the Host Camper is HEAVY so you will need a Hefty Truck... so definitely not nimble when traveling. Surely my camper is a Covid-Truck-Camper but even with all these issues, I have come to love my camper because of the amount of space and storage inside and out. Also, my HOst came pre-installed with plenty of battery & solar so that is a definite plus. Do I recommend a Host Camper for you?... NOPE! If I could do it all over again I would get a custom Capri Camper based in Texas.
Check out the Palomino 2901. We used to travel full time but now have a house in Colorado and travel part time. Just bought a 2901 and love it! If you have questions, let us know. We have been doing this since 2018 now and have learned a few things by now. 😂
We'll check it out! Thanks for the suggestion
You should check out the new Lance truck campers, they come with an a/c unit, they have an aluminum frame and they are four season rated. Also they are much taller on the inside than other makes.
They are very nice! However, very expensive. We do like one of the 2012 models, seems to check all the boxes and not as pricey. Hard part is finding one!
Many of us enjoy off-grid camping. However, we don't know which national parks have nearby camping without making reservations way in advance. Maybe you could come up with a little regional circuit of known parks that you didn't require a reservation. Then share roughly were you stayed.
I live in Scotland far north if you doing international try the Highlands and islands they are absolutely beautiful
Great video! Wolf creek or artic fox truck campers
Both great campers!
If you went with diesel, you would easily eat up your 400lb margin for GVWR, so gas was a good choice. Otherwise you would be in dually territory weight wise.
I hate shorts.. please just keep doing what you guys are doing.. it's awesome.
Thanks for the input!
A little late to the game here. Regarding slideouts, we have a lance 2285 travel trailer which we love, but seeing you all setting up and tearing down quickly prompted us to look for a travel trailer without a slideout. Besides the fact that when we stop just for a night it's not real convenient, a slideout is one more thing that can cause issues. We're looking forward to being able to zip in and out with less work.
The main reason we opted for no slides, no regrets so far!
Hey guys been watcher for a good while no but 1st time commenting. Love you guys! Think your content is great, i will say not a fan of shorts so hope you don't go that route. Do you guys plan to comr back to east coast this summer? Would love to see you come to WV, not sure if you guys have been here before but think you would enjoy it. Also...love Barkley and hope he is doing well. Looking forward to watching you this summer.
Hi Brian, thanks for the continued support! And we're definitely going to explore WV at some point, any must see recommendations? We've driven through but didn't have any time to explore. We'd appreciate any tips!
WV has all kinds of wondeful harvest hosts, some even at winery'/brewery & ciderys. I also recommend checking out New River Gorge/Gauley River Nat rec area.Also the Monongahela National Forest Area is awesome too. Some cool small towns for adventuring if close Fayetteville, Elkins, Weston/Buckannon & Lewisburg. There is a plenty of sites to see and beautiful rural beauty in WV. Whether 3,5 or 7 days stays i am sure you can find what you need. If you guys come this way & need help finding something or further recommendations i'd be glad to help. Hope you make out here, you won't regret it.
I like your vids, just go to different places, show us where to go to eat, what the local things to see that is popular. You tend to stay in a campground and hike with Barkley all the time. It is good, just not all the time. Do a campground review, eat in a local town etc.
Thanks, Todd!
Look for an old Lance 1191 2015, or a 1172. You would need a upgraded truck. If you can afford more look at Eagle Cap, Adventurer or you may find a good deal with Host. I am looking for a good Yukon 11.6 Host deal or Cascade 10.5 model.
As far as your videos , just be real. Live your best life and dont force yourself to do things just to get views. One of my favorite is Kenny of all Trades. One weekly vlog of his weekend camping. Same stuff but different remote camps.
We've watched his stuff too, thanks for the input and we appreciate your support!
I want to see you travel to the upper n
Moving slower you should consider a trailer so you can drop and the drive…you have been isolated by winter camping so now you will start to meet more people and see more active opportunities…. Also you have not had any running water so I look forward to camp cooking now that you have water….
That's the one intriguing aspect of the trailer. It would be worse on long travel days, but sure would be nice to have the truck to run around in when were setup for a while. Thanks for the comment!
Have you been to the Pacific Northwest yet? I live in Oregon. I think you'd love it here.
Not yet, it's high on our list!
Just a heads up!
I had a Lance camper a while back, and the heater started making noise. I was able to get to the fan and oiled it up. No more noise, for over a year till I sold it. Probably still ok. Easy fix, and only took about 15 mins.!
Thanks for the tip! Did you go in through the interior or off the plate on the outside? Appreciate any help!
@@LivingLargeCamping I went through the interior, and outside. Can't remember which gave me access to the bearing. But it worked! I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out, you guys are pretty smart! I'd give it a try before having to spend money somewhere. Hope you guys find a great new camper that has everything you need. If you haven't been to California yet, awesome places to see here. Just stay out of L.A. Happy travels to you 3.
Congrats on the house that's awesome!
With 2 acres, you guys can always drive the truck somewhere on the property and camp! Just don't cheat by going to the house for anything.
I want to see you travel upper north west country
We've talked a lot about some Canada adventures this summer!
I would check out camping sales place for a damaged camper/trailer that you can salvage the air conditioner off of.
We've considered this, just don't want to add the extra weight on our current roof setup
How bout a portable one from Walmart/ home depot etc.. The neighbors keep theirs in the bathroom when not in use. They vent it out the kitchen window
I have a 2000 lance 1010. Go electric Jack's there great
Love the 1010 layout!
Hey guys, love your channel. I am contemplating going on the road traveling full time. I have a 1 ton dodge dually with a 1993 Lance camper that weighs about 3,400 pounds empty. My truck is plenty big and capable of hauling 5,000 pounds. My question is this……after all of your travels…..would you weather have s big heavy truck camper with all of the amenities? Or would it be better to keep it light so you don’t limit where you can travel? Thanks guys. Be safe. ✌️
Honestly, I don think there are any spots we've been "limited" by. Although our camper is relatively lightweight I don't see much of a difference between ours and a larger one. Sure, it might sway more off road, but the extra space is sure nice once youre setup!
electric jacks are very expensive and yes they are handy but they break allot
Allow me to give a compliment and ask a question please: Amelia has the best and beautiful smile. Love to watch your smile. Now a question for Connor. Is that a real hair and how come it never moves? 😂😂 Love to watch your videos. Thanks
Thanks for the compliment! And yes its all real! I guess it's just short enough and with a little gel/paste it seems to stay put. Thanks for the question/compliment!
No shorts
