SWARMED While RV Traveling in BRITISH COLUMBIA! Back to Canada RV Vlogs🍁

WE'RE BACK TO RV LIVING IN CANADA! RVing the American South West was such a fun trip, but after crossing back in to Canada we wanted to keep on going! We caught up with family a little but now it's time to make our way to VANCOUVER ISLAND in British Columbia. The Island is such a beautiful area of our home province British Columbia so we look forward to doing some RV camping there and sharing it with you all.
Before getting to the ferry we stayed the night at the Fort Camping RV Park which is located in such a cool area of Langley, right by Fort Langley. We just happened to be there when they had some of the WORST mosquito problems they have ever had with such high water earlier in the year making for the perfect breeding grounds. Definitely not their fault, and we loved the idea and location of this BC RV Park regardless of the unfortunate amount of mosquitos but that's camping sometimes. It's so close to the ferry terminals, in a beautiful area and has full hook ups which can be harder to come by for camping in British Columbia. We'll be visiting this BC RV resort more in the future for sure.
We hope you all enjoy the upcoming adventures of RVing British Columbia with us as much as you did seeing RVing the USA. Next RV vlog we're off to the Ferry, crossing the ocean and arriving on Vancouver Island. We just need to get our 30ft trailer on the ferry first!
Take care friends!

We found the vacuum works best rather than swatting. We have experienced beautiful locations however had to change plans. Folks incouraged the thermocell to enjoy a mosquito free area to be outdoors.

@brendamw7895 Жыл бұрын

The vacuum we use is a dustbuster..and lavender, also mosquito netting for around bed.

@LukeandAlysha Жыл бұрын

Hey thanks and great point on the vaccuum. We own a thermacell but unfortunately it wasn't enough to deter these guys but normally love it. This was the worst we had ever seen just hundreds swarming everywhere haha. Cheers!🍁

We brought our blue light bug zapper (from Canadian Tire) into the RV and turned the lights off. Then we watched the light show = ZAP, ZAP, FRY, FRY. Thermacells worked well for us. Also, Benadryl in the USA makes a cream that is the BEST for bug bites. Way better than the Ammonia Dabbers and anything else we've ever used for bug bites. We went into the USA for a month and just came home. We too had a pleasant experience at the border going both ways down and back.

Fort camping is beautiful and walking through Fort Langley is beautiful we just went there a couple weeks ago taking the kids to tour the Fort and walk the main roads

So what we do is we have a bug zapper that we keep behind the recliners so that we don’t see it but we hear it zap. And we cheer with every zap too. It works like a charm and kills them all.

We had super bad mosquitoes in western Washington this summer too. Couldn’t even stand to spend time in our backyard. Looking forward to seeing your travels on Vancouver Island. I love Victoria and have visited many times, but haven’t had the opportunity to see more of the island. I hear it’s really beautiful!

😮 so many mosquitoes! Another reason I’m adding for traveling with a fan blowing on us at night and all the teasing from hubby I get for NEEDING a fan! Usually I can’t tolerate the heat. How did you ever get away in the truck filled with mosquito comandos? My sister wears a hat with a net that ties at the base of her neck. She lives in Maine on the Northeast corner of USA. Poor Chloe! Did she learn to wave them away? I love your videos! It’s real life in action. And story time with Chloe. So cute! I hope Vancouver doesn’t have mosquitoes!! Stay safe!

@LukeandAlysha Жыл бұрын

Hey Cheri! They were sooo bad, unlike anything we've ever encountered before by a longshot. Like unbelievable amounts of them haha. We just got in the truck and RV as fast as we could without luring too many in and then took the time to kill them all before settling in. Was definitely a hunt for awhile each time though. Some people mentioned hanging a bug zapper in the RV and turning the lights off.. might be something worth considering for us down the road but hopefully we don't get them this crazy ever again either. Fan would work well too though I imagine like you said! Glad you've been enjoying the stuff and been with us, we appreciate you! Sure has been one big adventure for 2022, so happy we got to see and do so much 🍁

@@LukeandAlysha Hopefully not so many in Victoria but I don't know if the conditions were ripe for mosquitoes .... Ugh!!! I hope you are enjoying the next chapter travelling because I guess the camping season will soon be closing. I saw that Minnesota has snow already! Its been a great season and so glad you can share your family time with us! Hunker down for the winter with maybe a "campfire" in your propane unit so Chloe doesn't forget the outdoor life. LOL Hopefully winter doesn't arrive early in your province! Thanks for all your videos!!

Hope mosquitoes problems diminish. Can't wait to see next part of trip. We considered taking the ferry from Port Angeles, Washington to Victoria. We ran out of time this summer, so maybe it would be a thought for next year.

I find that the less popular boarder crossings are generally better. Certainly the ones between New Brunswick and Maine are toll free on top of seldom having long lines.

@LukeandAlysha Жыл бұрын

We don't have much experience with them yet still but so far totally agree! 🍁

@robertsitch1415 Жыл бұрын

@@LukeandAlysha yes and if you want to see backups on the boarder, go to either the Ambassador or Bluewater Bridge between Ontario and Michigan, which I believe transport about half of the truck cargo to and from the US. Certainly a lot of the stories about American people being hassled at the Canadian border are the Canadian border guards suspecting an American citizen has guns.

@teresap.5991 Жыл бұрын

Might pay to invest in a bug zapper that you could put up high where Chloe couldn't get to it to have in your camper in such situations as this and you could set it outside on the days where there are a lot around. Unbelievable how many there were there oh my. Yeah yarrow is a flower that grows wild some people plant it though because it's very medicinal and I saw a camping video yesterday and the man just took the leaves crushed them up in his hands and rubbed it all over his arms and said they definitely keep the skeeters away. I feel so bad for you that would stink 😲😣😪💝

It was unlike anything we had seen. Definitely came across plenty in our travels but these guys would've basically flown away with us if they could've. Spot was too good and close to the ferry to pass up though!😅🍁

Towing question, I see you have a F150 other than a weight distribution hitch did you add anything else for suspension assist?

@LukeandAlysha Жыл бұрын

Nope, just made sure we had a quality weight distribution hitch that was rated a bit above our weight and got the one with built in sway control instead of worrying about manually setting it right and have to take it off all the time. Our F150 also has the 3.5L ecoboost and King Ranch package, not sure how much extra that adds to the base models but believe it also is made more for towing with the trailer back up knob (which we have yet to try or trust haha). Cheers! 🍁
