Glad to see you met with Chad and Tara, yooz guyz are the greatest....
Thanks!
Wow ! 10,000!!! I do t care what anybody says America is the best !!! So cool.
Phil, one word .. Starlink. It's not "mobile" yet. But it IS movable. meaning when you're stationary, speeds around 270/20 off with ~40ms ... is a game changer.
I am waiting till starlink is out of beta and they will sell me Dishey McFlat face.
I will of course to try it mobile. But the rub is going to be you need an open sky some where around 160 ish degrees facing north. I think it will be much more useful in the Open planes in the West then the tree covered east.
As the mother of an Army soldier, I’m so happy we did so well for those veterans.
She’s an MP and about a month ago she made Sargent! I’m so proud of her! She’s stationed in Germany and she’ll be here on leave for the whole month of August. I can’t wait!!!!!
I have a friend that is a big time boondocker and he has a standing rule that he never lets his fuel drop below half tank, just in case.
Every 500mi fuel up whether I need it or not!👍
I agree
Great episode! Your channel and Changing Lanes have always been at the top of our watch list for quite some time.
Same with me. I have a great deal of respect for all 4 of you (And of course Daisy and Gizmo!!!) Being a Navy Veteran myself, and a former Avionics Tech like Chad, I love his checklists and his methodology for projects.
Phil’s reward for driving 9+ hours? biscuits gravy and Stacy😉
ABQ balloon festival coming up,I can hardly wait 🤣.Army vet here .
If you ever want to run your a/c off of battery power. Highly recommend soft starts for a/c.
We have them on, our AC's are not wired through the inverter....yet. Thanks.
FYI there is parking available in Winslow AZ at I-40 exit 253 by McDonalds and a Safeway grocery store across the street. It is a dirt lot with some deep holes so be carful. A lot of truckers use it because the truck stop fills up quick.
Looks like you have a Tree sticking out the middle of your roof. About way through the video behind the building.
We took our first cross country trip this Summer. The TSD card saved us hundreds. As for how long I have driven. A few times 8 to 10 hours. All day. Really try for 3 to 5 if we can. Walgreens was awesome for our meds.
Thank you for your service and your continued service to the veterans! God Bless and safe travels. 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks for the video and everything you do for our Veterans! Hubby is a Vietnam Veteran and he is a retired DOD employee and I retired from the Dept. of Veterans Affairs. We got the Military Living 2021 RV, Camping travel guide after you showed it on one of your videos. We usually just check the military website but this gives us more details in one place. Our favorite Military RV campground so far is Blue Angels Recreation Area in Pensacola, FL. We didn't think we could stay on military bases because Hubby was just in the army 3 years but because he retired after 32 years with the Department of Defense that made him eligible. We found that out from a couple we ran into while in Alaska so we got to stay on base in Anchorage and in Seward Alaska. He has a retired DOD badge so we had ID. Hope we run across you two some day. Maybe at Gunterhill COE in Alabama.
Guys, thank you for communicating with Sam's Club before over-nighting there. There are so many people that refuse to do that courtesy to businesses, thinking that they are somehow entitled to park on someone else's property without permission. This will potentially ruin this great opportunity for RV's.
One nice thing about RVs is that when somebody comes to visit, it does not take much time to vacuum and clean.
YOU GUYS are GREAT COMBO !!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a ton!!!
Hey You two I think it would be fun to catch up with you guys and Chad and Tara You guys are 2 of our favorite peoples we follow :-)
When you first started showing the interior of the store, your cameral panned across either a carving or a casting of a Native Woman that was beautiful! The detail was incredible, yes I stopped the video and went back to where the statue was and paused the video so I could get a better look at it.
Agreed!! Their artistry is just amazing! I cant imagine how long that much details takes.
That was too many days of hard travel. But we get it. Great video. Lynn and Danny
I so believe in having plans A B and C when RVing.
WOULDN'T BE A ROAD TRIP WITHOUT A CRISIS OR 2. THAT'S PART OF THE FUN AND EXCITEMENT FOR ME, MY WIFE, NOT SO MUCH.
Love Flagstaff. My truck broke down (had to get a long block replacement) there a few months ago so was stuck in my RV trailer for over a month while it was repaired and it was the best place to break down. Gorgeous town and great weather. Didn't have to use the AC at all and I'm very hot blooded and hate the heat.
My 2 favorite RV couples. Going to be fun watching your adventures
Glad your inverter issue was as simple as a switch. Have fun with Chad and Tara and keep the good stuff coming.
The two of you are the ones I watch the most on RV'ing. Love all you guys and gals. Lol. CL's and you guys.
Thanks a ton Dr. Don!! We appreciate it!
TSD discount is awesome!! Thankfully I have not been caught up into one of the WEX/TSD network outages. We just did to FL to VA and back and averaged 2.80 a gallon for diesel at TA/Petro stops. Being a part-time RVer I am used to running long days of 350-500 miles a day.
Great video, and glad you got to spend some time with a Navy vet Chad and Tara. I hope to join you soon...
Enjoyed the video you guys are awesome. Wishing you safe travels and fair weather.
Thank you! You too!
Nice job raising money for fellow vets. Excellent.
Stacey they do make bags or boxes for carrying mail into the post office 🏤.
LOL
I love you guy’s! The way you handle this is a testament to what kind of people you both are…
A can of Coke Classic will melt off stubborn, dried, stuck on bugs…especially Love Bugs. Just pour it on your windshield or vehicle body, wipe down, and rinse. You can also remove acid from your battery. Just liberally pour it on the battery and let in boil it off. Rinse well.
Cool! My 2 favorite ladies on CZcams! Not to mention the 2 coolest Navy vets, too. ⚓️🤙 Looking forward to next week. Troy
Thanks Troy!!!
Great job, hope to see you on the road. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks, you too!
I use a TSD fuel card. It is usually more options if traveling on an interstate. That gives you more options for fuel savings. I don’t have much savings at Loves. If your not careful you will pay more with the discount there than what it cost you across the street. I do like the savings though, I have saved 60 cents a gallon before. It all helps. Be safe!
Sitting in Flagstaff this week, but at a park, real nice, J&H
My little rv runs on gas.. so I see Sam's often... but never have overnighted
Great vid. See ya next week.
Love's was a bad choice on our trip to Lebanon, TN for our rally. TA was the best!!
Great video. We just did a Cracker Barrel and are not full timers. So it was 80 plus degrees. No ac so it was a bit warm but breakfast was a plus.
Flexibility is the name of the RV life. This trip has been great for us and patience has been essential. Love your videos, thanks for what you do with our Veterans, may God continue to Bless you and your family. - Ivan Josie RV Journey
Another great video....always informative and fun...you and Changing Lanes are the best! Safe travels
Thanks! You too!
Hey Guys We Love seeing you guys back On the Road...... I "fill" u Phil, the man NEEDS Fuel.... hahahahaha Be Safe and Have Fun ! ! ! ! !
Thanks!
Run AC on an inverter? Install a Hutch Mountain Microair Easystart on your AC’s. I run my RV AC off a 2000 ah inverter, works great. Easy to install too.
We have soft starts.....just not wired through the inverter.
stay safe and stay hydrated in the desert. great show
That’s so great what y’all do for our vets…..thank you so much!
thanks for vets support :o)
The Chief is never wrong, 🤣🤣 (ret SCPO)
Thanks! Aloha
Its always Something its continuous it never stops. If you can't maintain or t/s you better have deep pockets.
How fun. Looking forward to next week’s video. I follow Chad and Tara as well
My husband and I saw you all yesterday. We were looking down from the bridge. We hope you enjoyed your visit. Can't wait for the videos from both you and Changing Lanes.
So cool!
Great video! Glad you got the card working before fueling up! You two are the best couple!
Y'all are awesome... Such a blessing to be able to give back, imagine if everyone that could would give just a little the world would be sooo different. Thank You for all you do and have done. GOD BLESS
We couldnt agree more!
We are heading to USA next week with our new coach and truly hope to bump into you one day and thank you in person for your great work and ethics you have. God love both you. Best looking couple on RV CZcams
That is awesome!! Congratulations! Hopefully we will see ya out there.
Love my TSD Card, which I learned about in one of your earlier videos. Thank you again for that... safe travels. GO NAVY!
You guys are awesome - I really love what you're doing for Vets. Keep it up - your efforts matter. See you on the road.
Thanks for sharing.
Love watching all your videos, you guys are great. Thank you for sharing......
I know the 4 of you will have a blast. Looking forward to the video.
I just Enjoy your travels, Stay Safe out there, Please
Phil, Coco's Bakery at 360 W Forest Meadows St, Flagstaff, AZ 86001 has some of the best pies and cakes (non-keto). I don't know about the ice cream.
Thanks for the heads up!
🐸 love the owning problem and making it an opportunity
G'day from OZ.....the land down under. I love your guys channel. I have just retired and I'm living in my 24ft van that I purchased when I retired. I am living in it in a van park. People keep asking when are you going to hit the road....well I have a Hyundai all 4 door hatch....so that means my car could not pull the skin off a custard. If I ever meet Mr right that may change. But I just want to share that living in a van is the best. No lawns to mow. No repaint...etc etc...like I said you guys give great advice. Wonder if you could do a video for people who are making their van there home. Keep the video's coming
Thanks for taking the time and effort to put out the video. Enjoyed it. You guys are the best.
Yaaaa So happy to see you all together again !!!! Missed them last Sunday 😔 Safe Travels can't wait for the Fun to begin 😊
"I didn't shave my legs" - thanks for that image. Be safe and keep having fun.
Always!
My tpms's made my valve stems leak air going down the road, they were the rubber ones, we stopped in Barstow had all of them replaced with steel valve stems, over year now, no problems, you may check this out if you keep having trouble...
Re. Small Cracker Barrel lots. Last February we stopped at a Cracker Barrel in Covington, LA that ended up having a small lot. There was an Academy Sports next to it with a nice roomy parking lot. I asked the manager there if it would be OK for us to overnight in his lot and he gave us the green light. We had dinner at Cracker Barrel and stopped into the Academy after where I picked up a light jacket I needed. Sure appreciated their hospitality!
Most places are like that. We will do the same thing....it's always nice to show some love and purchase something from the business.
Two of my favorite channels. You guys are the best and safe travels .
☺️ U guyz r sooo dialed in👍🏻
I really enjoy watching your adventure and the tips you show about your travels. I just retired after 49 years and we plan to buy an RV soon. Trying to figure out what we want. Thanks for your videos.
We stayed in the hotel at Cameron. Beautiful area
Canada & US borders should open mid-august. So being from Québec, we will (my wife and I)be motoring down to our home in Fort Pierce Fl.
We haven't been in our house since march 2020. If you pass by this fall or Winter, we would enjoy you boondocking in our huge driveway. Bj
We stayed at Cameron Trading Post for several days when visiting the Grand Canyon. Nice place with a decent restaurant.
Your TSD card is golden, I am waiting to get one, and also the Snap pads. My tip of the week is Home Depo. I worked at one last summer. Trucks delivering stuff to HD always spend the night in the parking lot. Not saying they advertise, but doubt they would run you off. 2200 stores.
Enjoyed the video. Some great information and tips.
Yall are so cute! Thanks for sharing your journey.
Hope you guys make it to the Central Coast of CA this year! We'd love to see you!
Just in case some don’t know… Since Walmart & SAM’s Club has cut out a lot of Over-Night stays I had a hard time in 2020 traveling with work especially with almost all the KOA’s closed. I found out by accident that Cabela’s & Bass Pro have “Welcome RV’s” signs up in all of their parking lots and some had direction of where to park so that you don’t interfere with deliveries or customers. It really saved me in one hand, but since I went inside several times it cost me since I Just Had to Buy something! LoL
Great video! It's fun watching you two in action. Never a dull moment! Our son retired last November after 14 years in the US NAVY so we are proud NAVY mom and dad. Go NAVY! On another note, I was hoping to find out about your Walmart stop south of Odessa as our daughter and family moved from Montana to that area about 3 weeks ago. I looked at last week's video but didn't notice any mention of it so am hoping you can shed some light on which Walmart it was that you stopped and stayed at.
Thanks Susan. We stayed at the Fort Stockton Walmart, off of I -10. Tons a space. Retired after 14 years? Was it a medical retirement? Go Navy!
@@todayissomeday Thanks for letting me know where that Walmart is located. No, it wasn't a medical retirement for our son. I should have said military separation, but I'm not always up on the terminology. He just got tired of all of the politics. His other reason was that he wanted to be able to be near his paternal grandparents, ages 91 and 93, who are both in a nursing home in a small town in SE Montana near where he was raised. He was really close to both of them growing up there.
We just spent 63 days boondocking just north of you. The whole state of Utah is boondockers paradise. Also had good att the whole time. We always keep our tank topped off as well maybe it's a navy thing lol
Being a veteran too 1974 to 1978 I want to thank you for all you are doing for our veterans. Where did you get your lithium batteries and solar? This is what we need for our RV which is an Allegro RED 33 AA.
Our Lithium's are from Battle Born Batteries and solar panels from Continuous Resources. We have blogs on our website and videos on the YT channel.
Went by looking for a today’s the day t-shirt today…. They were all gone from the site so I hit the tip jar instead.. Keep up the great work hope to meet you out on the road one day 😀😀
Love both of your channels.
Even in my regular truck (I don't have a rig yet), I can only drive a maximum of 4 or 5 hours in a day, and 5 is really pushing it. By that time, I'm needing a nap, fighting highway hypnosis, and needing to pull over for the night. I've always been that way; need frequent breaks of 20+ minutes besides. As I get older, it's getting worse; I wouldn't like to drive more than 3 hours in one day now. I don't see how you guys, or those long-haul truckers do it!
(I hope they reimbursed you for your discount since the problem was a glitch on their end!)
Wow. We also had the inactive fuel card issue. Once I finally reached them on Monday it was an issue within their system.
We are willing to do 8-10 hour days. We get an early start then lounge when we get in. Need AC when it is hot out so will usually pay for electric in the summer
We also try to stay on the top half of the tank. Forces more stops but also more breaks
Great video. Love that you share your journey . Safe travels
HI and be careful out there and travel safely. We are Dan & Jackie Roten. We are full timers and go by OVER THE HORIZON. We don’t have anything like CZcams. We are both retired from our jobs. I’m also a veteran twice US ARMY
Hand Salute Don! Thank you!
I'm so happy to see blue sky down there. We are back to smoke season here in nw montana. Have fun with changing lanes. Watch you both.
I just love you two!! You're both so sweet. I teared up hearing about your fundraising efforts. I wish my health was better, and I could fulfill my dream of full time RVing along side you:-)
Thank you Connie! This country is amazing!!!!!
thanks for all you do...Leaving for sc see ya
Two great couples! Let the adventures begin!!
So much to learn. Good job mam and sir
I love this video!
The great thing about traveling in an RV is that, even if we have a long day, we can stop multiple times, take a nap, potty, eat and refresh before continuing on. Always be safe and always arrive in good stead. 😁
Great vid as always💓 you guys can't wait to see what y'all are up to with Changing Lannes 💓 them too!!!
Phil, I am bit surprised that you are unable to run A/C with your solar set up......how much more solar do you think it will take to operate the A/C? My admiration to you guys for what you do for our Veterans!!!!
Technically we have the power to run the A/C but they are not wired through the inverter. It is on the todo list but not a priority.
Flew by that trading post lots of times on the way to Lake Powell never realize there was a RV park there.👊👍😎
