Around the 1 minute mark:
What a morning! The County Sheriff was on-site and moving campers off the street. Did he issue any citations? I don't know but he was very aggravated with several campers who did not want to move immediately. It was definitely an exciting start to the day!
Around the 4 minute mark:
A bike ride around Thousand Trails Orlando RV Resort and a beautiful evening around the fishing lake made for a nice day. Lots of campers and lots of interesting activities going on all over the campground.
Around the 10 minute mark:
Universal Studios Florida was a must see activity for us. We had a lot of fun riding all the major coasters that we wanted to experience plus some great shows and fun entertainment throughout the day. Universal was a fun diversion from all the adulting we had to do. LOL.
Around the 14 minute mark:
Cooking burgers (my favorite item to cook), assembling our e-bikes and getting our Amazon packages are just a few of our "chores" we have to do whenever we land at a spot for a period of time. We experienced some beautiful sunsets and even got the drone up a little.
Around the 8 minute mark:
Super cool at Walmart was the drone delivery system that they are testing! Really neat to see the drone (much bigger than my mini) take off and land in the Walmart parking lot. Talked to the guys operating the air craft and it's in testing phase but they plan to roll it out within the coming months. Several locations in some major urban areas are already in operation so it was very cool to see.
TTO is a park that has it all and being one of the Flagship properties within the Thousand Trails system, has all the amenities you would expect of an RV Resort.

Our journey is the destination. We want to share in our experiences in discovery of What's Next.
We like to Switch it Up and stay at RV Resorts and RV Camping while enjoying RV Life.

We use the TSD card for diesel fuel and save a bundle each time we fill up our Big Rig. We also use it to fill up our Onan generator.
The big blue boards (XL version) we use sometimes to get us "un-stuck" is from:

Our extreme completely custom 5th wheel is built on a semi-trailer chassis with air suspension and air brakes. Completely loaded it weighs 42,000 lbs rolling down the highway. And we do roll down the highway nearly every week. You see, we believe that if your home has wheels they should be used.
Vehicles:
2016 Volvo VNL780 "Voyager"
2016 Smart fortwo "Pathfinder"
2019 SpaceCraft Custom built, designed semi-trailer 5th wheel "Orion"
2023 Thor Magnitude XG32 Class C "Curiosity"
2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara "Artemis"
Power system:
3250 watts of solar with Panasonic panels
30.1 KWH of Lithium batteries
2- 4K watt Magnum Inverters deliver power as if we are on shore power
2- 4K watt Cotek Inverters deliver additional power for our HVAC and stove
Coachnet is our roadside assistance company we use but hopefully we don't use them too often. LOL
We are not sponsored by Whataburger but I do enjoy them anytime I can get my hands on one. They used to be just out of Texas but they have expanded to Kansas City, Atlanta, Birmingham, Huntsville, Tallahassee, Pensacola and Tennessee just to name a few other areas.

It's definitely a fine line. TTO calls everyone (or most everyone) the day prior to check in about the rules and the time is posted on their electronic billboard. If everyone obeyed the rules and worked within the system it would be better for everyone. But to your point, it is a hassle for law enforcement and they shouldn't have to waste their time or resources on a campground check in. Thanks for the comment. Appreciate you watching the channel. 😎

Hello we are Barb and Bob from HetteshWorld. We are FT RVers also. Bob originally found your channel and we've been following you for a bit. And I felt like we wanted to comment and introduce ourselves to you guys. We've been to Orlando a few times and I've been wondering when the police would be coming to break up that line. If we get to Orlando we do try to get there right at noon or if we would get there early we would go down to the grocery store and wait it out. But people are so funny about needing to get in and get the right spot. We don't even care. We've been there enough that we know the whole park is good and it's fine no matter where we end up cuz it's more about the adventure and the journey than where you're parked. But we wanted to share that we truly enjoy your channel. We love the interaction between the two of you. And we are originally from Indiana but now we are Texans. We discovered Whataburger on our honeymoon in 1988. So every time we came to Texas throughout the years prior to RVing we ate it. Now we are, how do you say it, addicted? Lol. But we just wanted to introduce ourselves and tell you that you guys are doing a great job on your channel. Thanks!

Hey Barb and Bob! 👋 So glad you'all found the Channel and thank you for the kind words - especially since we are so new to all this video stuff - but not new to full-timing (in our 8th year). Like you, we don't care where TTO puts us because we are grateful for getting a site we can fit in. I actually prefer the older section over the newer section because it feels more like camping. Your word choice "addicted" is spot on - David is addicted to Whataburger and has drug our granddaughters down that hole 🤦‍♀️. I'd be addicted too, but I just don't like their tough buns. So I get the chicken tenders and fries - which are awesome! Maybe we will meet up sometime down the road. Safe travels! 😊

Honestly, when we get to a campground, we're not there for the amenities, we're there to enjoy the area around the campground. Appreciate you watching the channel.

Hi Todd, I don't use our vacuum packer on everything because of the high cost of the bags as compared to zip-locks. But they vacuum pack bags are great to thaw and heat the burgers in. Cut a small slit in the bag to vent and microwave on 50% power for 3min 30sec. You may need to tweak the time based on your microwave. Let rest for a few minutes while dressing the bun.

Educate me please, what was the train all about? Windows looked blacked out. Was it a ride with animation inside or ? That would be more my speed since the roller coasters wouldn't work for me like they used to. And a charge (in a membership/dues charged park) for receiving a package (or maybe a few lol) for you is a bit overkill. It's not like you'd let it sit with their office and take up valuable real estate space for a week. Packages are usually needed immediately upon arrival for most of us. SMH on that one. Good to see you again and looking forward to the next vlog.

Thanks KB. Yeah, the package charge is not good but it's a business decision. I think many abused it. When we order and have something delivered it's because we need it. No doubt. The Hogwarts Express is a train ride with animation during the trip. It's really cool and a neat way to get to the other part of the park. The animation is different each way and depicts either Harry P and friends going to Hogwarts or leaving it and heading to London. Lots of fun. Appreciate the comments. 😎

Hi David, I was so close to getting my taste back about a year after getting Covid (October '21) but lost everything when I got a very mild case of it this past August '22. So I'm back to T=0. I can kind of taste very strong flavors and all smells stink to me. But what's really weird is my mouth is super sensitive to textures. I can feel every detail of texture in my mouth - like the little flower buds in broccoli. I've discovered that many of my dishes are very boring from a texture point of view, so I'm adjusting to make them more exciting - so maybe this will make me a better cook? 😀 Chocolate is my favorite thing to taste and smell and that's what I miss most. 🥺 Thanks for the comment and maybe one day we will get back to normal.

Hi Dodge Guy. Unfortunately TT is FCFS which has a tendency to bring out the worst in people fighting for that perfect spot like the Wild West. Check out time is 11am and between 11 and 12 people are allowed to change sites if they like an open site better. Check out dates are posted in everyone's window. We've had people actually knock on our door asking for an exact time that we plan on leaving so they can have our site 2 seconds after we leave. It's crazy! Because of our size, I'm all for bending the rules, but sometimes rules are put in place for a good reason and after coming to TTO now for over 7 years, I totally agree with the noon check-in. Before this rule was put in place it was a madhouse and an extremely stressful process. Be sure to subscribe and watch the video about the check-in process. Thanks for your comment and for watching the Channel. 😊

They just don’t have the right motivation to do anything about it as long as its their clients being fined and not the business.

I get the “hard” check in time. Many places purposely put in 1-2 hour buffer periods to ensure the site is vacant and to make sure the site is clean and all hookups are in good working order, grass trimmed, etc. But they need to respect the clients and make changes so people dont get fines by simply showing up to check in.

@bigtruckbigtravels no, you would still have the same problem, if everyone showed up at the same time, you will still have them lined up out on the side of the road. Which btw, looks like an entrance strip of road to turn into, to slow down before actually entering the driveway. Which turns it into 1,000 trails responsible to keep their entrance clear. Having an earlier check in time won't help, people will just be lined up earlier. Having a staging area at the entrance before check in would be the second solution, after just paying the Sheriff's department to be out on the road. It is not the campers fault or responsibly to keep the entrance road clear, ask a lawyer. I drove truck for 40yrs, same scenario at a warehouse near Orlando, 35/40 trucks would line up on the street. They would not let you in til 11pm. All the Sheriff department could do was ask the warehouse to try to start getting us checked in, of course they didn't, nor could the Sheriff ticket us drivers. Argue all you want, it is 1,000 trails responsibly. p.s. that Sheriff was not trying to go after any of the campers in the video, you could tell, he was merely pulling into the driveway to get to the check in office.

Many people plan their arrival for noontime as specifically instructed by the park rules to prevent mass chaos. If you happen to breeze thru Orlando and miss all the traffic, then there are several places nearby to hang out until noon, including a Walmart. The people we saw were those who were trying to circumvent the system and basically cut in line to get an early check-in. Check out time is 11am. This gives the park rangers an hour to verify open sites to escort campers to. They average 50 check-ins per day and 150 on Sundays ( this season). It's not a perfect system, but enforcing the rules certainly makes for a smooth and quick check-in process. 👍 thanks for watching and your comment. 🙂
