ℹ️ About the episode:
We didn't expect to be back on Mackinac Island so soon, but when our friends and their family invited us to tag along, we couldn't say no. Having been there once already, we were ready to just relax and enjoy the island compared to seeing everything we could like our first visit. Yet, we were still able to share some new things to see with fewer crowds. Once we took the ferry back it was time to drop Carson off at school, install the hitch handles and drop the Airstream off at service. The big question is how does RV Life compare to Hotels and we think the answer is pretty obvious in this video. Yet, the hotels on Mackinac Island are very nice, but they don't compare to having all your own things and traveling at your own pace. We love RV Life.

There are so many choices in RV's as I was totally blown away, but I think I settled in purchasing a toy hauler. I look forward to the next episode!

For the last 20 years of my work, I travelled every week. I felt I lived in hotels. Nice hotels, but still need to check in, lug your bags or get the bellhop. I can't tell you how many times I woke up and didn't remember what city I was in or why. Usually a look out the window cured that. I had a huge fear I'd wander out into the hallway thinking I was entering the bathroom. Thus the RV. My clothes in the locker, my food in the fridge, the same bed every night. Wonderful.

You guys have been such a big inspiration to me and my wife starting this journey ourselves. Unfortunately she passed suddenly on Wed. She was 39. We where just 3 weeks away from hitting the road. I can't think of a better way to celebrate her life than to continue this journey with our pups. It was both of our dream after all. And we worked to hard to get this far, it would feel like a waste! Thanks again for all the inspiration and helpful info! Its a bit scary to think of going it alone, but I like to think of it as an opportunity to write a beautiful ending to this tragedy!

Ebikes are so much fun whether you have a throttle (AKA motorcycle) or if you have a pedalec (you have pedal to get any assistance). I recommend the latter because you get some amazing exercise, no longer worry about hills and can cover dozens of miles quickly as needed. They are amazing scout vehicles for larger rigs.

I had the same issue with my 2.5" receiver and the 2" reducer sleeve on my 2019 F250. I ended up inserting plastic shims (purchased from Home Depot for a previous DIY project.... 1 on top near the opening of the receiver and 1 on the bottom rear...next to spare tire) and trimmed to length. This solved the wobble. I thought plastic shims would work better than wood, since there would be very little compression. I have not noticed any side-to-side wobble. So problem solved for now.

Get the measurements for a J pin stabilizer drill a hole in your hitch and use the j-pin it will compress or put pressure all to one side of your sleeve and hold it in place. And it will stop the movement you can also use this J-Pin On your hitch for your camper or sway controls so you don’t get a lot of movement either

Want to show them where Mom & Dad were married 15 years ago this Oct. Soooo thankful to you, that of your tons of locations to sit and chill and chat, was there!. Spent an entire winter as well, Snowmobile Heaven!!! Did you know? The school is K-12 and has roughly 75-100 students total! Graduating classes can be anywhere from 1-14 kids! lol Our fav restaurant (not owned by the Grand) is The Yankee Rebel and coffee at the Coffee Beanery, now called Watercolor Beanery.... down on the water, directly in front of your hotel, Island House ( I know the GM there too....)

If you want to observe your hitch from your driver's seat while driving forward, on Sync you can set the backup camera to delay off. With this enabled, shift to reverse, then you can shift to drive and drive forward under 5MPH and your backup camera stays on. I use this when I've unhooked the trailer and I'm about to pull my truck forward. Simply put the truck in reverse to activate the camera, then shift to drive and slowly pull forward while the camera remains activated.

Any one of your group who got unlucky somewhere along the line will accident turn this outing to a disaster. As a New Yorker who knows 5 people who lost family members including a 20 year old young man/boy. You need to role yourself back to your original limited contact premise. 60,000 plus people have already watched this video. You have a higher responsibility to lead safely.

Regarding your receiver hitch handles: Perhaps wrap electrical tape on the all thread to help keep the grips on the all thread. Make sure it is a tight fit. When installing the grips: Hair spray liberally applied to the inside of the grips. Shove the grips on quickly, twisting cw/ccw. After the grips are installed, the hair spray will evaporate and leave the grips very well secured. This is done in the cycling world routinely to add grips to handlebars.

When we upgraded from an F150 to our 250 we tried our old dropout but were never happy with the spacer. We finally swapped our ball mount onto a 2.5" drop (using the original ball mount) and it has been wonderful! It took a good bit of research to find the exact drop we needed and still be able to open the tailgate, but finally got if from eTrailer. Just getting rid of the little bit of slop has made towing our AS much more stable ( I should know since I do all the driving with the trailer! LOL). Safe travels!

Glad you guys are having fun, you all seem well suited for this life style, how long do you think you will continue? I like seeing this great country, did a fair amount on two wheels, get recharged and than home sweet home. I retired from the Army after 21 years. and then another 20 years with the state police, While working for the state police i bought a small 30 acre pine farm, have lived here for about 30 years. So for the past 30 years i have really enjoyed the privacy and quiet and doing everything from golf, to shooting, hiking and running the trails that I've cut thru the farm. The KZfaq video's I've seen show that many of the popular camp ground look like Trailer Parks, i couldn't deal very well with that. So that is a big negative for me, couldn't give this up for that, i don't mind meeting new people but i really don't want to bunk next to them, it just seems too close. I'm probably very spoiled from being out here in the country with only cows and horses for neighbors, i don't think this would be a good fit for me, maybe 30 years ago, lol. Unbelievable to me we got FIOS last year, 1 Gig service, off the grid but on the grid. Boon dogging (sp)? would probably be better fit, but I've spent many a night in lean two's, pup tents, no tents and having to make my supplies last so I'm not really up for that either, i think the true RV life passed me by. Anyway your video's as well as other's that i have watched have been informative and interesting and i know you provide a great service to those contemplating RVing, and those that are currently living the life. All the best, you have a nice family, and i know experiencing the Grand Canyon is better than reading about it, hope all continues to go well. God Bless. Safe travels.

We couldn't agree more with you on the RV to hotel comparison. In my corporate career I spent literally thousands of nights in hotels and nothing on this earth makes me feel like I've gotten so little for my money than staying in a hotel. I would often arrive mid to late evening, maybe grab a bite to eat and then go to bed, only to be on the road early the next morning. Spending $90 to $125 just to sleep in a bed always seemed like such a rip off. I rarely found a hotel bed as comfortable as the ones we've put in our campers. My hotel room horror stories are far worse than my RV horror stories. Our first year of retirement travel we drove coast to coast through 16 states visiting 8 National Parks and seeing friends and families along the way. We drove an efficient Honda Accord but spent nights in hotels and ate in restaurants. It cost us about $6500. We made a very similar trip in our first travel trailer a year later for less than half that :-)

Another great episode! Seems like someone was missing, though. Super location, that Mackinac Island. I knew it looked familiar, from that Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour movie “Somewhere In Time”. A two week summer trip with the wife, staying in so many different uncomfortable hotel rooms, convinced us to get our first RV. Friends have told me that all the expense and bother of an RV is not worth it. I figure that having your own space, your own bathroom and kitchen, with the ability to cook your own meals, is worth the expense and bother. Keep On Truckin’

A couple of them hold a lot a lot of clothes, when you unpack, the bags fold flat & store in the hotel (or RV) drawers & are always available for packing a picnic or day-trip and even for... wait for it... shopping.

I've seen them, but looking for something more elegant. I think I'm going to weld the reducer in place as this truck will never need the larger receiver.

@@KeepYourDaydream I actually made some shims out of stainless steel stock for my hitch. One for up and down, one for side to side. The side to side has a hole drilled in it so the hitch pin holds it in place. The up and down shim has a 90 degree bend in it to hold it in place and provide a "tab" to hold onto. Works great, cheap to make.

Can’t you drill a hole in top of receiver weld a nut on top of hole and use a bolt to hold the sleeve? Seems like I have seen this setup on the back of RV trailer for holding spare tire bracket

Unless you plan on hauling a 20 thousand lb backhoe where you would need a two and one half inch receiver with a pinto hook, which you probably won't, why don't you get the two inch spot welded on each side. Then if you do need too haul that said backhoe, you can have the tac or spot welds cut off. That will keep your two inch from rattling.

The bronoc is nice but its not a real bronco its more of a bronco 3 as its more related to the bronco 2 as that was also on the ranger platform. Plus the super duty will make the new bronco look like a child's little trike. Brute force... now for the jeep wrangler with a hallcat engine

What I like about the new Airstream BaseCamp X 20 is you could keep the back in bed mode & still have the fount area for sitting inside when the weather is bad out Maybe a Ford Bronco 4 door could tow it or new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4XE
@barryl1072 4 жыл бұрын
Good idea, but the Bronco hitch weight limit is 3,500 lbs. The Airstream Base camp weight is “approximately 3,400 lbs” with a gross weight of 4,300 lbs.

Take your hitch sleeve to a weld shop. Have them weld a few beads on the sides that need it and just grind them down to the fit that you would like. 🤔

We absolutely love Mackinac Island. We have been going almost yearly. The last two years we have flown our C-TR182 RG up to the island. Taking the ferry is one thing, but landing at the airport takes it to a whole new level. We were just there with the plane 4-6 Oct 20. Beautiful weather and the fall colors from up above and on the ground were spectacular. I would agree with you that Mackinac can be done in 1-2 days. As many times as Misty and I have been; we have decided that October is the best month to go. The island is transitioning into hibernation. Not nearly as many tourists, yet most business', restaurants, and stores are all still open. The temps are nice and cool, and for us that frequent the island often. It's the best time to do those 1-2 day trips to get our island fix. If you really want to experience solitude. Go in the dead of winter. Catch a flight over with Great Lakes Air and stay in a condo or one of 2 places that stays open year round. Granted 98% of everything is closed but there are some neat things to enjoy if you research things to do there in the winter. Cheers! Great episode.

Use plastic wedges and 3m two sided tape on that hitch to make it fit tight. I used plastic wedges from homedepot that I used to install floating floors to space off the wall. Seems to work well. But I do think they make rubber wedges for that.

I had the wobbling issue with the same Kuat bike rack on my F250. Got a u-bolt designed for that. It is similar to a u-bolt that you can buy at a hardware store but heavier duty and works well. Got it at a local trailer and hitch store and they were familiar with the issue with the inner sleeve. Make sure it is large enough to go over the larger hitch. I take my bikes between Texas and New Mexico and it works great.
@richardk8556 3 жыл бұрын
Cool Idea with the hitch and the bike handle. I would slide the bike handles first to the hitch and then put the nuts on to tighten eveything down. You will have to make a hole at the end of the bike handle.

Steve I think you're shackles on your receiver that you hook your chains too are probably undersized for the trailer weight. I use 5/8 galvanized shackles that are rated to 3.5 tons each on my 2019 F350. They are the largest I can find that fit through the receiver slots but still may undersized for your trailer weight. Install them upside down with the bolt going through the shackle and the receiver slots.

Bicycle handle bars are 7/8", so a 3/4 all-thread will not be a tight fit. You could squeeze some silicone sealant on the all-thread to glue them on

I love Mackinaw! A friend of our family inherited a very old house up there (one of the original houses on the island) and we used to go there for 1-2 nights every summer. I always rented a horse at Cindy’s riding stable every time. We even watched fireworks and big ship’s going thru from the porch at the fort for Michigan’s Birthday almost 30 years ago. That was awesome.

@@KeepYourDaydream I would get the base model with the sasquatch package. But man how could would it be to do a coyote swap on a new Bronco? You could make an entire series on it. I follow a couple people on KZfaq that all they do is make videos on their current vehicles... Just saying... the first coyote swap into a Bronco channel, the first Bronco as a tow vehicle pulling a small Airstream channel... Endless possibility! Trish would love it! or you know... maybe not.
