Boondocking on the East Coast is HARD, but is it possible to camp off grid in a big RV out here? Today, we're finding out! Truthfully, East Coast camping is very different than out West and we'll be giving you an honest look at what to expect.
As full time RVers with a love for off grid camping, we're determined to find the best boondocking & affordable campgrounds all around the country, including the East Coast, so join us as we explore places we've never been!

*Who are we?*
We’re Victoria & Craig! In 2021, we decided that we needed to make life a little more exciting, so we bought a used fifth wheel and completely renovated it. Then, we sold our house in Tallahassee, Florida and hit the road full time in our RV! We’ve traveled all around the United States (and Baja Mexico!) and fell in love with boondocking in our RV at the most beautiful places. In 2023, we upgraded to a brand new Brinkley RV Model Z 3100. You’ll always find us on some kind of outdoor adventure, whether it’s hiking the Grand Canyon, rock climbing in Yosemite or surfing the shores of Baja Mexico.

In the northeast: we always travel with a leaf blower: much easier to clear your slides and roof of leaves or debris. Also ; in the northeast we use generators: we hardly ever have hookups and do just fine

Lol we actually have a leaf blower, but it’s in an inconvenient spot, we’ve got to reorganize and get rid of some stuff when we get back to our storage unit in Florida 😆 and it definitely seems like we might be getting the generator out over here in this area of the country!

I never knew how much I didn’t like it until we experienced life without it 😂 for sure recommend exploring out west if you’re able to one day!

East Coast NC me lol. NC, VA, KY, WV, PA are the most hills. I-95 & I-81 probably the best to travel on 😂. I hear from other KZfaqrs NH etc in that area not bad to get places

LOL although with the roadwork on I-95 alllll the time, I don’t even know if that one is safe! Those are such hilly places though!

@@wildrvlifeSC is always pretty rough going south 😂, me I live West NC foothills, I went up i-77 to i-81 to Scranton, Pa then went east for best traveling was 1 little toll think was $2.50 for car to cross a little bridge but when you come back across they was no toll, then jump in i-84 East into CT probably the best way. You can look on the map for that route, Scranton Pa Petro Truck Stop was a good fuel stopping point my old stop

fyi, a lot of those "lists" that state that some place is voted best place to live, or the best beach, or the best night life arent actually a vote. The city/tourism council just pay a publication XX amount of dollars to be on the list, the ones paying the most get the top spot. They do it as a means to bring in more tourism and therefore more money to the town so its essentially just advertising

lol yep! That's why I can't ever trust a list on the internet anymore. 🤣 gotta get my info from the real people!

For western NY, Letchworth is a beautiful spot! But best in the nation? Hmmmm. I think I'd go with Valley of Fire State Park over this one. 🤔

I really enjoy your videos! And they look and sound crisp and clear. Craig or Victoria, may I contact you to ask a few simple questions on how you make and edit the videos?

@drinkinslim 8 ай бұрын

My main question: what phone model are they using?

@wildrvlife 8 ай бұрын

for sure! our basic setup is: Filming with: iPhone 14 Pro Mics: DJI wireless mics (Sometimes we use a GoPro Hero 9 attached to our windshield in the car) Drone shots with a DJI Mini 3 Pro And Craig edits on Davinci Resolve

@drinkinslim 8 ай бұрын

Thank you! Due to budget, I might get the iPhone 13 Pro (renewed). Hopefully the video will turn out as good as your 14 Pro. 😅 Do you shoot standard 4K video (HEVC) on the phone? And lastly, what does Craig do when editing, to get the final look? Color grading? Brightening? Sharpening? Anything like that? I'd love to know, and others might too. 8) @@wildrvlife

@wildrvlife 8 ай бұрын

Yeah, we've got the phone set to shoot in 4k at 30fps. There might have been one other setting I changed for something with HD-something, but I just looked up a youtube video on "how to set up an iphone for vlogging for youtube" and followed all the suggestions. We do some color grading in Davinci Resolve as well. Nothing crazy, but just bringing up the shadows and highlights down a bit and adjusting coloring slightly based on the lighting on if things are too warm/cool or need a little more/less saturation.
