Your videos are the most informational and practical on You Tube for RV. You aren't just talking, you can see you took time on preparing before recording you have taken the fear out of RVs. Also, you have to be one of the best couples on YT.

Huge fan, and I'm not even and RV'r. Spray your shoes with Lysol spray every time you rake those shoes off it will kill the bacteria and fungus that cause foot odor. You must let it dry before putting your shoes back on. You can also add foot powder with this method if it's really bad. Again, use the powder after the lysol has dried in the shoes. This worked for me. I have not had foot odor in years since doing this.

3:13:36 - I’m speaking as an insurance claims adjuster. Are there cases where your insurance can deny your claim if you are driving overweight in your rigs??? It depends on your insurance policy. Everyone has a different policy. I would advise people to review their policy and look to see if there is any language regarding overweight vehicles / rigs and how coverage is handled. The insurance company can only operate within the scope of the policy. So your policy would have language that speaks to losses or conditions that are not covered. These denials are never out of the blue, most people are unaware of their coverage and it’s limitations.

You two are so easy to watch and have very informative videos. I enjoyed the content very much. We live in Oklahoma. My husband and I go camping a few times a year. We are now in our 70’s and cannot travel full time due to health problems. We may travel to a couple of towns in our fine state to visit our children and grandchildren but for the most part we just stay home. I watch KZfaq to watch others like yourselves who travel and have great info and get to witness all your experiences through you and the others I watch. So, I am confused, do you have two different campers, the Ford Transit and the Ekco motor home?❤😊

I had always thought about joining Harvest Host but recently, i have seen several KZfaqr full and part time RVers say they have been having trouble with it being reliable for various different reasons....Always nice to get several perspectives about it though especially when that is free...Big fan of the Cracker Barrels and Casinos for overnite parking also....One option i did not see mentioned here that is a big fan of ours are Corp of Engineer Campgrounds....Much cheaper than RV parks , almost always near lakes or rivers, and if you have the America the Beautiful Pass those campgrounds are even half off those cheap prices...We often see costs here in the $10-$20 a nite range....Travel safe moving forward, stay well....

Good for you getting free parking at a truck stop except you need to try bring a truck driver... you know driving 22 hours. Working 3,more for loading and unloading and all the other hassles. Don't worry that a truckers eyes are closing and needs to park and that they can go to jail for life if they fall asleep while driving and a thousand other problems. But you have a good cheap trip and have fun. You know there's less drivers today because of all the hassles there are. Don't worry about dead families and ruined families whose parent is in jail for being out of hours to drive and theirs no place to park. Selfish.

@LetsTurnItUpWorld 19 күн бұрын

They have designated spots for campers in many truck stops. So when and if we park at truck stop we call ahead and see if they have spots for RV's. Sounds like you have had some really bad experiences. Sorry for you! If you speak to truck drivers like we do they say it's rare to see RV's in those big truck spot. If you watch our videos you know we clearly talk about NOT taking a truck driver spot when parking, call ahead if you can. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We will pray for you! 🙏

@2LynneTracy 19 күн бұрын

@@LetsTurnItUpWorld I talk to truck drivers all the time. I am a truck driver. I drive OTR. These spots that are DESIGNATED TO RVS were TRUCK spots. So they were taken from trucks. Having a few spots for RVs minimizes how many rv's take, but it's still less for trucks than there were. Justifying. I get it. No understanding trucks are working and have laws to follow. Don't complain whe a truck is I. A wreck and someone is hurt.
