our series of,

43
00:01:45,346 --> 00:01:48,408
reviews on various Rv, we started off a

44
00:01:48,544 --> 00:01:50,475
few weeks ago by looking at

45
00:01:50,850 --> 00:01:52,679
small class a's, and then this past week,

46
00:01:52,918 --> 00:01:54,213
we've done small

47
00:01:55,321 --> 00:01:58,670
cab over class c's under 30 feet. And

48
00:01:58,989 --> 00:02:01,461
next Saturday on our Rv lifestyle Youtube channel

49
00:02:01,461 --> 00:02:03,316
we'll review the all electric

50
00:02:04,105 --> 00:02:06,037
luxury patriot class

51
00:02:06,810 --> 00:02:11,365
b Rv from Midwest automotive design. So that's

52
00:02:11,844 --> 00:02:14,485
that's exciting. And the big news for us

53
00:02:14,485 --> 00:02:16,805
is we have a new truck, a long

54
00:02:16,805 --> 00:02:19,452
bed ford, f 03:54

55
00:02:19,452 --> 00:02:21,281
by 4, 2 bone diesel.

56
00:02:21,917 --> 00:02:23,745
And now we have to get it ready

57
00:02:23,745 --> 00:02:26,210
for next week's trip to the Canadian Maritime.

58
00:02:26,703 --> 00:02:28,692
And, man, that was a

59
00:02:29,169 --> 00:02:32,351
a big hit in pocket book and to

60
00:02:32,351 --> 00:02:35,318
our plans for a relaxing time

61
00:02:35,870 --> 00:02:37,389
before we left for the maritime times.

62
00:02:38,509 --> 00:02:41,469
Relaxing leisure time to pack and think Yeah.

63
00:02:41,870 --> 00:02:44,724
Definitely I don't. It was anything, but

64
00:02:45,643 --> 00:02:46,922
for those of you just don't know what

65
00:02:47,002 --> 00:02:49,099
We're talking about. We had a major

66
00:02:49,718 --> 00:02:53,089
issue with our existing truck that we the

67
00:02:53,089 --> 00:02:54,627
repair to it would have been

68
00:02:55,246 --> 00:02:55,746
astronomical,

69
00:02:56,444 --> 00:02:58,521
and it just didn't make any sense. The

70
00:02:58,521 --> 00:02:59,720
trucks of 20 21.

71
00:03:00,451 --> 00:03:02,835
To spend that money on of 20 21.

72
00:03:03,788 --> 00:03:05,400
So we ended up

73
00:03:06,330 --> 00:03:09,930
biting the bullet and buying a a new

74
00:03:10,490 --> 00:03:12,409
truck to pull, and we picked that up

75
00:03:12,409 --> 00:03:13,469
this week. And

76
00:03:13,770 --> 00:03:15,050
next week we got. And now we gotta

77
00:03:15,050 --> 00:03:16,409
put a a hitch into it.

78
00:03:17,705 --> 00:03:19,145
And then we have to,

79
00:03:19,865 --> 00:03:22,185
hitch up our fifth wheel We wanna run

80
00:03:22,185 --> 00:03:24,344

00:03:24,504 --> 00:03:26,025

84
00:03:29,787 --> 00:03:30,106
leaking,

85
00:03:30,663 --> 00:03:32,496
then we gotta haul it back, then we

86
00:03:32,496 --> 00:03:34,009
gotta pack it up, and then we're off

87
00:03:34,009 --> 00:03:35,762

88
00:03:36,495 --> 00:03:38,675

is a fantasy Rv tour. We've always wanted

94
00:03:50,788 --> 00:03:51,822
to go on 1 of those.

95
00:03:52,790 --> 00:03:55,646
And it's a caravan of 25 different units.

96
00:03:56,281 --> 00:03:58,741
It's kind... The newest... What what I understand

97
00:03:58,741 --> 00:04:00,699
is gonna be like, is kinda like a

98
00:04:01,218 --> 00:04:02,097
like 1 of those,

99
00:04:03,055 --> 00:04:05,530
all inclusive cruises that you take we're in

100
00:04:05,530 --> 00:04:07,765
all inclusive resorts day except we're in Rv.

101
00:04:08,005 --> 00:04:10,160
And we all got drive. We all got

102
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:10,320
drive.

103
00:04:11,131 --> 00:04:12,723
A little over a hundred and 50 miles

104
00:04:12,723 --> 00:04:15,030
or so average, you know, per each time

105
00:04:15,030 --> 00:04:17,020
you you drive. We start in maine, and

106
00:04:17,020 --> 00:04:18,850
then we end up in Prince edward rhode

107
00:04:18,929 --> 00:04:19,407
Island and.

108
00:04:20,139 --> 00:04:22,719
We'll try and document as much of that

109
00:04:22,939 --> 00:04:25,500
as we can as we do it through

110
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:28,675
social media and our Rv lifestyle community and

111
00:04:29,509 --> 00:04:32,210
Youtube videos and ask us anything, but

112
00:04:32,925 --> 00:04:34,753
that's gonna depend on the Internet too. Yeah.

113
00:04:34,991 --> 00:04:36,819
We're being in some fairly remote areas.

114
00:04:37,789 --> 00:04:40,586
I'm I'm told that our our Star satellite

115
00:04:40,586 --> 00:04:42,663
system works great there also so... Well, that's

116
00:04:42,663 --> 00:04:45,640
exciting. Yeah. Yeah. But we're just hoping to

117
00:04:46,114 --> 00:04:48,509
be basically chill out. We we have heard

118
00:04:48,509 --> 00:04:50,664
so many good things about Fantasy Rv tours.

119
00:04:51,382 --> 00:04:51,622
And,

120
00:04:52,979 --> 00:04:54,790
everybody says, well, this won't be your first

121
00:04:54,909 --> 00:04:57,223
And well, it is our first, but, don't

122
00:04:57,223 --> 00:04:58,580
know. They all say you're gonna be wanting

123
00:04:58,580 --> 00:05:00,596
to do more of them, and they... The

124
00:05:00,654 --> 00:05:02,464
reputation is is excellent. So

125
00:05:02,902 --> 00:05:04,253
we're looking forward to giving another the price.

126
00:05:04,491 --> 00:05:06,184
Alright. I think it'd be fun to,

127
00:05:06,637 --> 00:05:09,101
like, leave the driving to us, except, leave

128
00:05:09,101 --> 00:05:10,635

132
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,273
an itinerary. You don't have to travel together.

133

You know, you just Okay. We're all leaving,

134
00:05:22,923 --> 00:05:25,261

00:05:27,878 --> 00:05:29,956
to that campground all that's taken care of.

137

We have a couple of wagon masters as

tours organized, and this is gonna be fine.

150
00:05:57,522 --> 00:05:59,120
It's gonna be different than anything we've tried

151
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,758
before. We've never done anything like this before.

152
00:06:01,996 --> 00:06:02,314
So

153
00:06:02,870 --> 00:06:03,902
we're excited. Yep.

154
00:06:04,617 --> 00:06:07,000
Alright. We've got the the social media buzz,

00:06:07,159 --> 00:06:09,168
people talk about a lot of stuff in

156
00:06:09,168 --> 00:06:12,125
the Rv lifestyle, and that's coming up right

157
00:06:12,125 --> 00:06:15,081
after this. After countless nights in the road,

158
00:06:15,321 --> 00:06:18,713
we have finally found the ultimate comfort solution

159
00:06:18,772 --> 00:06:21,909
for our home away from home. Our Rv

00:06:21,969 --> 00:06:25,345
mattress from Rv mattress dot com slash rv

lifestyle. Now let me tell you. This is

162
00:06:27,490 --> 00:06:28,285
a game changer.

163
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,865
Everybody knows that the stock mattresses that come

164
00:06:31,865 --> 00:06:32,843
in an Rv

165
00:06:33,153 --> 00:06:35,379
are not great. And whether you are a

166
00:06:35,379 --> 00:06:38,343
weekend warrior or a full timer. You deserve

167
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,115
better sleep.

168
00:06:39,751 --> 00:06:42,430

172
00:06:51,010 --> 00:06:53,628
Jennifer and I got the signature hybrid mattress

173
00:06:53,628 --> 00:06:57,063
in queen with the cooling cover, and we

174
00:06:57,118 --> 00:06:59,763
love it. It truly has a sleeping just

175
00:06:59,763 --> 00:07:01,518
as good in the Rv as our house.

176
00:07:01,916 --> 00:07:04,548
In fact, so good, we actually got another

177
00:07:04,708 --> 00:07:07,260
Rv mattress for our sticks and Bricks House.

178
00:07:07,913 --> 00:07:10,862
Now swapping out the uncomfortable old stock mattress

179
00:07:10,862 --> 00:07:13,732
for our new Rv mattress was easy. It

180
00:07:13,732 --> 00:07:15,725
shipped from Arizona for free in a box.

181
00:07:16,219 --> 00:07:18,217
We brought it into the Rv and never

182
00:07:18,217 --> 00:07:21,493

193
00:07:48,147 --> 00:07:50,615
Welcome back time now the social media buzz.

194
00:07:51,491 --> 00:07:54,278
And Wendy Boy reports on the hot issues

195
00:07:54,278 --> 00:07:57,078
most talked about this past week on social

196
00:07:57,078 --> 00:08:00,807
media and our Rv lifestyle community group. So

197
00:08:00,886 --> 00:08:03,187
Wendy, let's hear it. Hi, everybody.

198
00:08:03,837 --> 00:08:06,776
Over in our Rv lifestyle community's general discussion

199
00:08:06,776 --> 00:08:08,603
space. We had a recent post from Lynn.

200
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:10,827
Lynn is on a row trip and she

201
00:08:10,827 --> 00:08:11,803
has those metal

202
00:08:12,113 --> 00:08:14,422
blinds in her wig. And they are making

203
00:08:14,422 --> 00:08:15,935
all this noise as she drives down the

204
00:08:15,935 --> 00:08:17,766
road. The wands hitting in the metal blinds,

205
00:08:17,926 --> 00:08:20,257
the metal blinds are whack against her window

206
00:08:20,488 --> 00:08:22,235
And she asked anyone have any ideas of

207
00:08:22,235 --> 00:08:24,617
what I can do to make the stop

208
00:08:24,617 --> 00:08:27,079
when she's traveling and then ultimately replace them

209
00:08:27,079 --> 00:08:27,952
with when she gets home.

210
00:08:28,603 --> 00:08:30,274
And this led to a really good discussion.

211
00:08:30,752 --> 00:08:32,821
Carrie said for her trip, the short term

212
00:08:32,821 --> 00:08:34,651
solution might be to put some Velcro on

213
00:08:34,651 --> 00:08:37,206
that wand and then attach that velcro from

214
00:08:37,206 --> 00:08:39,028
the wand to the blinds to kinda cut

215
00:08:39,028 --> 00:08:40,058
down on some of the rattling.

216
00:08:40,692 --> 00:08:43,044
And for long term, David cautions when you

217
00:08:43,402 --> 00:08:45,550
replace this blind if it's above your stove.

218
00:08:45,788 --> 00:08:47,538
Make sure you don't put curtains there because

219
00:08:47,538 --> 00:08:49,447
it could be a fire hazard. And Steve,

220
00:08:49,527 --> 00:08:52,007
he said he replaced his metal blinds with

221
00:08:52,007 --> 00:08:54,393
a roll up shade, and it works great

222
00:08:54,472 --> 00:08:57,494
No omar rattling, no fire hazard. Just again,

223
00:08:57,653 --> 00:08:59,322
a great discussion in that thread.

224
00:08:59,974 --> 00:09:02,604
And also in our community in the general

225
00:09:02,604 --> 00:09:04,539
discussion space, we ask what is the most

226
00:09:04,677 --> 00:09:07,467
unforgettable place you visited in your Rv and

227
00:09:07,467 --> 00:09:07,706
why.

228
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,440
And this is a post everyone should read

229
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,600
lots of bucket lists or travel ideas in

230
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,120
here, but I'll share a couple with you.

231
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,573
Frederick, he said the most unforgettable region he's

232
00:09:17,573 --> 00:09:19,890
been to is Southern Colorado, and he mentioned

233
00:09:19,890 --> 00:09:22,767
the great Cn Dune National block park. Black

234
00:09:22,927 --> 00:09:25,425
Canyon of the Gun Mesa Verde Pad

235
00:09:25,739 --> 00:09:28,696
brings. He said that drive along Us 01:60

236
00:09:28,696 --> 00:09:30,155
to Duran is just

237
00:09:30,614 --> 00:09:31,093
spectacular.

238
00:09:31,493 --> 00:09:34,050
Just a wonderful region that Rv should go

239
00:09:34,050 --> 00:09:34,210
to.

240
00:09:34,945 --> 00:09:36,945
For tim, his suggestion was to go to

241
00:09:37,345 --> 00:09:40,304
Mccoy State park in the mountains of Northern

242
00:09:40,384 --> 00:09:42,225
Georgia, and he shared a picture of his

243
00:09:42,225 --> 00:09:42,725
campsite

244
00:09:43,279 --> 00:09:45,912
so beautiful in the woods very inviting. He

245
00:09:45,912 --> 00:09:48,306
said there's trails all over the place there's

246
00:09:48,306 --> 00:09:49,125
this gorgeous

247
00:09:49,503 --> 00:09:51,915
lake. That's is a wonderful clear color just

248
00:09:51,915 --> 00:09:54,795
waiting to be paddle. There's waterfalls a short

249
00:09:54,795 --> 00:09:56,875
drive away, and the State Park even has

250
00:09:56,875 --> 00:09:58,394
full hook up. So it sounds like a

251
00:09:58,394 --> 00:09:58,955
great place.

252
00:09:59,608 --> 00:10:02,388
In Linda, her favorites were dead horse point

253
00:10:02,468 --> 00:10:04,374
State Park in Moa in Utah.

254
00:10:05,089 --> 00:10:07,099
Both of these she said were just spectacularly

255
00:10:07,234 --> 00:10:07,631
beautiful.

256
00:10:08,202 --> 00:10:10,741
And the night sky with the stars all

257
00:10:10,741 --> 00:10:13,359
come out just cannot be beat. So again,

258
00:10:13,597 --> 00:10:15,977
lots of great travel suggestions in this post.

259
00:10:16,629 --> 00:10:18,949
And then meanwhile over in our Rv lifestyle

260
00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:21,350
Facebook group, we have lots of discussions going

261
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:23,269
on there. As always and 1 was from

262
00:10:23,350 --> 00:10:23,750
Lisa.

263
00:10:24,324 --> 00:10:26,479
Lisa had just returned from a cross country

264
00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:30,572
Rv adventure, and she had unknowingly picked up

265
00:10:30,791 --> 00:10:33,766
some unwelcome guests. Now these guests

266
00:10:34,079 --> 00:10:36,391
had gotten into her bedroom into her bathroom.

267
00:10:36,551 --> 00:10:38,464
They were even in her bedding, and she

268
00:10:38,464 --> 00:10:39,581
took a picture of 1 of them, and

269
00:10:39,660 --> 00:10:41,117
I gotta tell you. It was the most

270
00:10:41,176 --> 00:10:42,951
disgusting creepy look little

271
00:10:43,263 --> 00:10:44,957
green pale green spider

272
00:10:45,332 --> 00:10:47,638
with almost look like a scorpion because it

273
00:10:47,638 --> 00:10:49,150
had these legs that just pro protruding.

274
00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:51,874
Really got people talking. We'll make sure to

275
00:10:51,874 --> 00:10:53,230
put a picture they had in our show

276
00:10:53,230 --> 00:10:54,528
notes. And

277
00:10:54,905 --> 00:10:57,058
we're talking there were, like, 400 responses to

278
00:10:57,058 --> 00:10:59,451
this. Many said burn the Rv down. No.

279
00:10:59,611 --> 00:11:00,977
I'm pretty they were joking.

280
00:11:01,613 --> 00:11:04,233
They just really didn't like Spiders. Many other

281
00:11:04,233 --> 00:11:06,138
common responses were something like oh.

282
00:11:06,694 --> 00:11:09,408
But this was a great discussion and you

283
00:11:09,408 --> 00:11:10,840
know, it just kinda goes to show and

284
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,908
we're out there in the woods. Sometimes you

285
00:11:12,908 --> 00:11:15,692
pick up things that you unknowingly picked up

286
00:11:15,692 --> 00:11:18,099
and from the 400 more comments, it sounds

287
00:11:18,099 --> 00:11:20,092
like others have picked up things too, and

288
00:11:20,092 --> 00:11:22,245
you just never know. And I hope that

289
00:11:22,325 --> 00:11:24,558
Lisa got rid of all those creepy spiders

290
00:11:24,558 --> 00:11:25,196
from her rig.

291
00:11:25,849 --> 00:11:27,365
And that's it for me this week, I'm

292
00:11:27,524 --> 00:11:29,040
Wendy Boy, and I'll see you over in

293
00:11:29,199 --> 00:11:31,672
Rv lifestyle community or Facebook group.

294
00:11:32,469 --> 00:11:34,883
That dead horse state park,

295
00:11:35,261 --> 00:11:37,585
is of our favorites as well. It's absolutely

296
00:11:37,585 --> 00:11:39,892
a beautiful place, and it really really is

297
00:11:39,892 --> 00:11:42,200
fun. Isn't it? Yeah. I encourage you all

298
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,682
to go look at what other people have

299
00:11:44,682 --> 00:11:46,353
recommended as favorite places because,

300
00:11:47,149 --> 00:11:48,343
maybe you need to put it on your

301
00:11:48,343 --> 00:11:50,173
bucket list. Yeah and And we invite you

302
00:11:50,173 --> 00:11:51,765

on Facebook.

And that's 1 of the big pluses of

313
00:12:11,599 --> 00:12:13,610
it because it's none of that nastiness.

314
00:12:14,143 --> 00:12:17,561
Again, it's community dot rv lifestyle dot com.

315
00:12:18,038 --> 00:12:19,508
Coming up, the Rv

316
00:12:20,042 --> 00:12:22,191
conversation of the week, and we're gonna talk

317
00:12:22,191 --> 00:12:23,964
about what happens when

318
00:12:24,419 --> 00:12:27,226
you have a real setback in your Rv

319
00:12:27,363 --> 00:12:27,522
lifestyle.

320
00:12:28,413 --> 00:12:30,167
And you have to pick up the pieces?

321
00:12:30,486 --> 00:12:30,986
Or

322
00:12:31,363 --> 00:12:33,357
do you throw in the towel and quit?

323
00:12:34,154 --> 00:12:36,626
We'll talk about that and meet a inspiring

324
00:12:36,626 --> 00:12:39,671
couple Right after this. Jennifer and I took

325
00:12:39,671 --> 00:12:42,224
a trip to Las Vegas and Arizona to

326
00:12:42,224 --> 00:12:45,095
look at wind mail acres, a brand new

327
00:12:45,175 --> 00:12:47,981
Rv property being offered by Western land and

328
00:12:47,981 --> 00:12:48,380
ranches.

329
00:12:48,939 --> 00:12:52,071
They're selling off 1 and 2 acre parcels

330
00:12:52,448 --> 00:12:54,522
starting at only 14900

331
00:12:54,522 --> 00:12:57,248
dollars. Now these are big, An acre is

332
00:12:57,248 --> 00:12:59,894
a size of a football field. The properties

333
00:13:00,031 --> 00:13:02,813
are on a plateau with big valley views,

334
00:13:02,972 --> 00:13:04,881
and the location is amazing.

335
00:13:05,373 --> 00:13:08,870
Next to Lake Mead national recreation area. We

336
00:13:08,870 --> 00:13:11,335
had a blast. There are so many places

337
00:13:11,335 --> 00:13:12,868
to explore near the property

338
00:13:13,179 --> 00:13:15,570
the Grand Canyon. We took a bold ride

339
00:13:15,570 --> 00:13:18,041
on the Colorado river below Hoover dam.

340
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,751
Boulder city was a fun little town.

341
00:13:21,725 --> 00:13:23,485
That's right off route 66,

342
00:13:23,804 --> 00:13:26,125
and, of course, we had to enjoy some

343
00:13:26,125 --> 00:13:27,725
nightlife in Las Vegas.

344
00:13:28,365 --> 00:13:31,095
It's a lifetime supply of fun things to

345
00:13:31,095 --> 00:13:33,565
do when you own a camp at wind

346
00:13:33,565 --> 00:13:33,964
acres.

347
00:13:34,521 --> 00:13:36,593
The properties are now available.

348
00:13:37,151 --> 00:13:38,620

00:13:38,675 --> 00:13:41,058
percent ownership. So there's no reservations needed when

350
00:13:41,058 --> 00:13:43,940

358
00:14:01,034 --> 00:14:03,266
Welcome back. Time now for the conversation of

359
00:14:03,266 --> 00:14:03,665
the week.

360
00:14:04,397 --> 00:14:05,990
On April 20 ninth, Norm,

361
00:14:06,866 --> 00:14:10,053
V suffered a life altering event. While they

362
00:14:10,053 --> 00:14:12,921
were driving diesel push, Class a and Virginia,

363
00:14:13,574 --> 00:14:15,891
the front right tire blue, which is I

364
00:14:15,891 --> 00:14:17,010
think everybody's nightmare,

365
00:14:17,569 --> 00:14:21,105
and the rig and cheap tipped and paramedics

366
00:14:21,419 --> 00:14:23,173
told them they were lucky to be alive.

367
00:14:23,493 --> 00:14:25,986
And miraculously, this Florida couple

368
00:14:26,443 --> 00:14:28,118
were not seriously injured. They had to go

369
00:14:28,118 --> 00:14:30,511
to the hospital, but they got out fairly

370
00:14:30,511 --> 00:14:30,750
soon.

371
00:14:31,481 --> 00:14:32,356
And now,

372
00:14:33,310 --> 00:14:36,649
much to their non rv being friends dismay,

373
00:14:37,285 --> 00:14:39,512
they're back on the road. They're... They're starting

374
00:14:39,512 --> 00:14:40,386
all over again,

375
00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:42,877
in a brand new class a.

376
00:14:43,596 --> 00:14:45,594
Now could quit. Yeah. They could quit, and

377
00:14:45,594 --> 00:14:47,591
most people probably would have quit. And as

378
00:14:47,591 --> 00:14:49,921
you're gonna hear, it was a terrible accident,

379
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,632
but they didn't quit. And we caught up

380
00:14:52,632 --> 00:14:55,264
with them to learn about their accident and

381
00:14:55,264 --> 00:14:57,917
how they're moving forward and get some tips

382
00:14:58,309 --> 00:15:00,944
that are not only inspiring but could help

383
00:15:00,944 --> 00:15:01,582
all of this.

384
00:15:02,301 --> 00:15:04,616
Well, Norman and Na join us right now.

385
00:15:05,015 --> 00:15:06,792
Hi, guys. It's great to see.

386
00:15:07,823 --> 00:15:10,215
So start off if you will, by telling

387
00:15:10,215 --> 00:15:13,005
us a little bit about your yourselves, And

388
00:15:13,324 --> 00:15:15,078
and then we'll get in into, pick it

389
00:15:15,078 --> 00:15:15,795
up the pieces.

390
00:15:16,527 --> 00:15:17,322
When something,

391
00:15:17,879 --> 00:15:20,504
catastrophic happens. But tell us about yourselves and

392
00:15:20,504 --> 00:15:21,243
your R.

393
00:15:21,857 --> 00:15:25,144
Well, this 4 of July was actually 20

394
00:15:25,144 --> 00:15:26,524
years since we met

395
00:15:26,904 --> 00:15:29,704
married 16 years, both of us are second

396
00:15:29,704 --> 00:15:30,204
marriages.

397
00:15:31,235 --> 00:15:31,735
So

398
00:15:32,106 --> 00:15:33,161
we've been arguing.

399
00:15:34,009 --> 00:15:35,594
Ever since I met him.

400
00:15:36,307 --> 00:15:39,182
There was 1 occasion where he said to

401
00:15:39,182 --> 00:15:41,018
me, if my wife had lived,

402
00:15:41,656 --> 00:15:44,369
we were going to get an Rv and

403
00:15:44,369 --> 00:15:46,935
retire, and I said to him, and he

404
00:15:46,935 --> 00:15:49,578
was shocked because I came from a certain

405
00:15:49,951 --> 00:15:52,888
environment that he didn't expect that. I had

406
00:15:52,888 --> 00:15:55,681
been married to a surgeon, etcetera. And I

407
00:15:55,681 --> 00:15:57,824
said, I can do that with you. We

408
00:15:57,824 --> 00:16:01,474
had our feet. So the next week, he

409
00:16:01,474 --> 00:16:03,617
went out got our first founder.

410
00:16:04,108 --> 00:16:04,904
Yeah. Far a,

411
00:16:05,620 --> 00:16:08,405
boundary motor hall, and, I called her back.

412
00:16:08,644 --> 00:16:10,474
She was back home in Florida, I lived

413
00:16:10,474 --> 00:16:12,643
in Illinois. And I told her you better

414
00:16:12,643 --> 00:16:14,960
get another plane ticket because I pick up

415
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,397
my Rv next week. So... Wow, so so

416
00:16:18,556 --> 00:16:21,128
Norm... You are a Widow today. You hear

417
00:16:21,128 --> 00:16:21,528
that right?

418
00:16:22,247 --> 00:16:24,325
Yes. My first wife passed away when I

419
00:16:24,325 --> 00:16:25,225
was 48

420
00:16:25,923 --> 00:16:27,362
passed away from cancer, and,

421
00:16:28,561 --> 00:16:28,960
I

422
00:16:30,095 --> 00:16:32,815
Luckily, we've... I've life moved on, and I've

423
00:16:32,815 --> 00:16:35,615
met Nate and things have been fantastic Sense.

424
00:16:36,014 --> 00:16:36,514
Tell

425
00:16:37,388 --> 00:16:40,336
Yeah. My hershey she believes that. Yeah. Nobody

426
00:16:40,336 --> 00:16:42,727
does believe this. My first wife told me

427
00:16:42,727 --> 00:16:44,241
about 2 months before she passed.

428
00:16:44,975 --> 00:16:47,054
She said soon after I pass,

429
00:16:47,774 --> 00:16:49,855
you're gonna beat someone that will change your

430
00:16:49,855 --> 00:16:51,154
life forever.

431
00:16:52,188 --> 00:16:53,645
Now I met Na

432
00:16:54,022 --> 00:16:55,001
6 weeks

433
00:16:55,537 --> 00:16:56,893
after my wife passed.

434
00:16:57,850 --> 00:17:00,163
And I... The last thing I wanted was

435
00:17:00,163 --> 00:17:00,482
a

436
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,113
relation chip or anything,

437
00:17:02,727 --> 00:17:03,683
but it

438
00:17:04,638 --> 00:17:06,789
it was just made in the heavens. I

439
00:17:06,789 --> 00:17:08,244
mean, it was the the perfect

440
00:17:08,620 --> 00:17:09,576
perfect thing they happen.

441
00:17:10,307 --> 00:17:12,296
And they tell me your background and how

442
00:17:12,296 --> 00:17:13,330
you guys met too.

443
00:17:14,046 --> 00:17:16,273
Well, we're my radio you said before? Yeah.

444
00:17:16,591 --> 00:17:19,071
Yeah. To ur logic surgeon,

445
00:17:19,707 --> 00:17:22,331
I read for 35 years, I won't get

446
00:17:22,331 --> 00:17:24,637
into why we got divorced, but we did.

447
00:17:25,368 --> 00:17:28,478
And I was kinda down that near was

448
00:17:28,478 --> 00:17:30,949
the end of the year of the doors,

449
00:17:31,268 --> 00:17:34,631
and my son lived in Chicago. And he

450
00:17:34,631 --> 00:17:35,928
played the weekends

451
00:17:36,463 --> 00:17:37,260
in a band.

452
00:17:37,898 --> 00:17:39,650
And I said to him it's fourth of

453
00:17:39,650 --> 00:17:42,279
july weekend. I'm very depressed. Can I come

454
00:17:42,279 --> 00:17:45,250
out visit of He said, yes but the

455
00:17:45,250 --> 00:17:47,669
band is playing in this terrible

456
00:17:47,970 --> 00:17:48,690
bike bar?

457
00:17:49,250 --> 00:17:51,009
And I said, I don't care. I'll come

458
00:17:51,009 --> 00:17:52,849
out and hear the band because they're good.

459
00:17:53,104 --> 00:17:53,740
Their rocker.

460
00:17:54,536 --> 00:17:55,888
So I was there,

461
00:17:56,683 --> 00:17:57,183
and

462
00:17:57,558 --> 00:17:58,354
he was there.

463
00:18:00,278 --> 00:18:02,107
Yes. I have gone down there just... I

464
00:18:02,107 --> 00:18:04,255
had a friend who I had met being

465
00:18:04,255 --> 00:18:04,994
a carpenter

466
00:18:05,528 --> 00:18:07,199
who said he was the bounce at this

467
00:18:07,199 --> 00:18:08,551
bar and he said, norman, if you ever

468
00:18:08,551 --> 00:18:11,585
need talked, your bummed out, wanna do something

469
00:18:11,585 --> 00:18:13,889
come on down. So I went down to

470
00:18:13,889 --> 00:18:14,365
see him.

471
00:18:15,239 --> 00:18:17,225
Paid my coverage charge went in and then

472
00:18:17,225 --> 00:18:18,416
find out he wasn't there.

473
00:18:19,786 --> 00:18:21,860
So I ended up. I got a drink.

474
00:18:22,498 --> 00:18:24,253
I was watching a Nascar race.

475
00:18:25,369 --> 00:18:27,124
We looked at each other a couple times.

476
00:18:27,284 --> 00:18:28,694
Yeah know, how he is when you looked

477
00:18:28,815 --> 00:18:30,815
Sometimes your eyes meet, you think somebody's look

478
00:18:30,815 --> 00:18:32,494
at you you immediately look away,

479
00:18:33,054 --> 00:18:33,774
which we did.

480
00:18:34,494 --> 00:18:36,014
But then with 10 laps to go on

481
00:18:36,014 --> 00:18:38,745
the race, they change all the Tvs. The

482
00:18:38,745 --> 00:18:40,898
channel on all the Tvs but 1.

483
00:18:41,776 --> 00:18:44,408
And that Tv was directly in front of

484
00:18:44,408 --> 00:18:46,801
her. I understand directly behind her to watch

485
00:18:46,801 --> 00:18:47,255
it

486
00:18:47,850 --> 00:18:50,075
And I was watching it, and she turned

487
00:18:50,075 --> 00:18:52,458
around and she goes, hey, there's an empty

488
00:18:52,458 --> 00:18:53,968
chair would you like to sit down.

489
00:18:54,779 --> 00:18:55,740
And that's how we

490
00:18:56,539 --> 00:18:59,420
basically met and and our relationship started.

491
00:19:00,059 --> 00:19:01,740
So, Nate, you picked them up at a

492
00:19:01,740 --> 00:19:02,220
dive bar.

493
00:19:02,954 --> 00:19:05,586
Yes. And it truly wasn't a dive bar.

494
00:19:05,746 --> 00:19:07,421
I mean, if they turned the lights on,

495
00:19:07,580 --> 00:19:10,372
you'd wanna leave. I will be there. My

496
00:19:10,372 --> 00:19:12,525
son wasn't planning. As a matter of fact,

497
00:19:12,939 --> 00:19:15,169
He had this electric guitar that he could

498
00:19:15,169 --> 00:19:17,319
unplug. He jumped off the stage and he

499
00:19:17,319 --> 00:19:19,708
kind comes over with us. He says, mom,

500
00:19:20,106 --> 00:19:21,381
judy need to be rescued.

501
00:19:21,874 --> 00:19:24,818
And I'm going, no. No. Mom's fine. She's

502
00:19:24,818 --> 00:19:27,706
good. We're having a good time. So,

503
00:19:28,161 --> 00:19:30,947
that's that story. And then he asked me

504
00:19:30,947 --> 00:19:31,106
out.

505
00:19:31,759 --> 00:19:33,835
And we went out on our first state

506
00:19:33,835 --> 00:19:36,629
2 days later and we've never been apart.

507
00:19:37,347 --> 00:19:39,583
Wow. So you guys been rv being all

508
00:19:39,583 --> 00:19:41,694

509
00:19:41,752 --> 00:19:42,151
that

510
00:19:42,630 --> 00:19:44,943
that we really only wanna share and have

511
00:19:44,943 --> 00:19:46,857
people learn from from what happened with you

512
00:19:46,857 --> 00:19:47,017

513
00:19:47,734 --> 00:19:48,373
Talk about,

514
00:19:49,090 --> 00:19:49,830
what happened

515
00:19:50,207 --> 00:19:52,136
back in April. The end of April,

516
00:19:53,173 --> 00:19:55,166
and the accident that

517
00:19:55,645 --> 00:19:58,755
that changed a lot of your Rv habits,

518
00:19:58,914 --> 00:20:00,110
but didn't kill them all.

519
00:20:00,843 --> 00:20:04,116
That's exactly that. Yeah. We were... We had

520
00:20:04,116 --> 00:20:06,510
been on a fantasy Rv tour did a

521
00:20:06,510 --> 00:20:08,985
civil war battlefield tour. And then after it,

522
00:20:09,559 --> 00:20:10,619
visited family,

523
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:12,839
made a couple stops, and we were on

524
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:14,220
our way to North Carolina,

525
00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:17,480
coming down I 81. We were going down

526
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,759
there I'm a 5 fisher.

527
00:20:19,414 --> 00:20:20,535
And we wanted to...

528
00:20:21,174 --> 00:20:22,855
I was gonna go fishing for a couple

529
00:20:22,855 --> 00:20:23,095
weeks,

530
00:20:23,894 --> 00:20:26,454
and then go pick up our granddaughter and

531
00:20:26,454 --> 00:20:27,654
take them on of vacation.

532
00:20:28,468 --> 00:20:31,569
So we're easing our way down I 81,

533
00:20:31,966 --> 00:20:34,271
and we were staying that night at the

534
00:20:34,589 --> 00:20:37,472
Natural rich k a. Mh. Well, as we're

535
00:20:37,472 --> 00:20:40,186
going along, I mean traffic... Traffic is moving

536
00:20:40,186 --> 00:20:43,140
smoothly. I'm doing about 65, which is about

537
00:20:43,140 --> 00:20:44,976
the fastest I normally care to go in

538
00:20:44,976 --> 00:20:45,535
my Rv.

539
00:20:46,348 --> 00:20:46,848
And

540
00:20:47,385 --> 00:20:49,538
as we're going, I look ahead and I

541
00:20:49,538 --> 00:20:51,692

00:20:52,569 --> 00:20:54,483
So I'm all excited. I'm like, oh, good.

543
00:20:54,643 --> 00:20:56,829
We're at the exit. This be fantastic.

544
00:20:57,755 --> 00:20:59,919
I know sooner said that in my mind

545
00:21:00,053 --> 00:21:01,954
and all of a sudden there was a

546
00:21:01,954 --> 00:21:02,350
bang.

547
00:21:03,159 --> 00:21:04,837
And the right front tire blue.

548
00:21:06,115 --> 00:21:08,852
As the right front tire blue, I followed

549
00:21:08,991 --> 00:21:09,891
all the

550
00:21:10,522 --> 00:21:12,823
protocols they give you that you're supposed to

551
00:21:12,823 --> 00:21:14,886
do when at 1 of your steering tires

552
00:21:14,886 --> 00:21:16,314
move, you know, blows.

553
00:21:17,346 --> 00:21:20,405
None of them changed anything. It dove

554
00:21:20,782 --> 00:21:21,979
directly for a ditch.

555
00:21:23,414 --> 00:21:25,726
Went into the ditch, went up the bank

556
00:21:25,726 --> 00:21:27,480
a little bit, which was very steep.

557
00:21:28,293 --> 00:21:29,351
The motor home

558
00:21:30,127 --> 00:21:32,621
laid over onto the driver's side

559
00:21:33,317 --> 00:21:34,195
and slid,

560
00:21:34,913 --> 00:21:36,689
started sliding on the driver's

561
00:21:37,306 --> 00:21:38,754
side. As it was going.

562
00:21:39,948 --> 00:21:42,256
Now I screamed as as soon as the

563
00:21:42,256 --> 00:21:44,086
tire blue for nada as she was laying

564
00:21:44,086 --> 00:21:45,121
in the bed back.

565
00:21:46,094 --> 00:21:49,129
To, hang up because Nate has a a

566
00:21:49,129 --> 00:21:50,647
bad bath, and a lot of times when

567
00:21:50,647 --> 00:21:52,165
we're traveling she'll lay at the bat.

568
00:21:53,375 --> 00:21:55,684
And I told her hang on, this isn't

569
00:21:55,684 --> 00:21:56,002
good.

570
00:21:56,798 --> 00:21:57,117
And,

571
00:21:58,072 --> 00:22:00,062
after it laid over on its side,

572
00:22:00,953 --> 00:22:01,906
and it stopped.

573
00:22:02,939 --> 00:22:04,845
I yelled back to her our honey. Are

574
00:22:04,845 --> 00:22:05,719
you okay.

575
00:22:06,672 --> 00:22:07,467
And she goes,

576
00:22:08,182 --> 00:22:10,028
I can't move she goes, I don't know.

577
00:22:10,268 --> 00:22:11,067
I can't move.

578
00:22:11,787 --> 00:22:13,784
I had fallen from the bed.

579
00:22:14,583 --> 00:22:17,140
I had just flipped off, onto the floor.

580
00:22:18,195 --> 00:22:20,674
And something hit my head, you think it

581
00:22:20,674 --> 00:22:22,914
was the fridge or we don't... No. I

582
00:22:22,914 --> 00:22:24,355
think she hit her head on the door,

583
00:22:24,595 --> 00:22:26,607
which was right there for the bedroom. But

584
00:22:26,766 --> 00:22:28,913
I hit my head, and I couldn't move

585
00:22:28,913 --> 00:22:30,502
because everything was down.

586
00:22:31,138 --> 00:22:32,967
I said to him It was kind of

587
00:22:32,967 --> 00:22:35,193
like my worse feet being in a coffin.

588
00:22:35,923 --> 00:22:38,630
A lot because I couldn't move. I couldn't

589
00:22:38,630 --> 00:22:38,949
turn,

590
00:22:39,665 --> 00:22:42,691
and I was worried about him. He was

591
00:22:42,691 --> 00:22:45,013
worried about me of course, and I did

592
00:22:45,013 --> 00:22:47,082
not know what was snowing on outside?

593
00:22:47,638 --> 00:22:48,355
Right. And

594
00:22:48,832 --> 00:22:51,082
I yelled back to her. Are you pinned

595
00:22:51,139 --> 00:22:52,785
or ours is it just that you can't

596
00:22:52,984 --> 00:22:55,618
move is something holding you. And she said,

597
00:22:55,778 --> 00:22:58,810
no, I just can't move and really what

598
00:22:58,810 --> 00:23:01,858
it comes to in that aspect is she

599
00:23:01,858 --> 00:23:03,852
didn't realize we were laying, I don't think

600
00:23:03,852 --> 00:23:06,404
on the driver's side. So the bed now

601
00:23:06,404 --> 00:23:07,224
is vertical.

602
00:23:08,319 --> 00:23:11,132
So it's like she's inside of a room

603
00:23:11,190 --> 00:23:11,270
set.

604
00:23:12,002 --> 00:23:12,959
While she's there.

605
00:23:13,996 --> 00:23:14,235
So,

606
00:23:14,953 --> 00:23:16,946
as I laid there, I'm the ground, I...

607
00:23:17,664 --> 00:23:19,817
As the motor home rolled over,

608
00:23:20,709 --> 00:23:22,405
I un my seat belt

609
00:23:22,862 --> 00:23:24,777
because I could see we were gonna slide

610
00:23:24,777 --> 00:23:25,734
into a guard rail,

611
00:23:26,531 --> 00:23:28,445
and the guard rail was coming right for

612
00:23:28,445 --> 00:23:30,414
the center of the motor home

613
00:23:31,089 --> 00:23:32,914
which is, as you know with a diesel

614
00:23:32,914 --> 00:23:34,501
push where the generator is.

615
00:23:35,374 --> 00:23:37,041
And all I can imagine is the guard

616
00:23:37,041 --> 00:23:38,731
rail going into the generator

617
00:23:39,279 --> 00:23:41,594
and pushing it right back into my lap

618
00:23:41,594 --> 00:23:42,471
as the driver.

619
00:23:43,509 --> 00:23:45,983
So I rolled off the seat onto the

620
00:23:45,983 --> 00:23:47,101
side of the motor home.

621
00:23:48,629 --> 00:23:49,129
After

622
00:23:49,504 --> 00:23:51,334
I had crashed and yelled to her, I

623
00:23:51,334 --> 00:23:54,197
took inventory of myself so to speak.

624
00:23:55,009 --> 00:23:57,007
I noticed I was bleeding from my left

625
00:23:57,007 --> 00:23:59,325
elbow, but they were just superficial cuts. I

626
00:23:59,325 --> 00:24:00,044
could feel that.

627
00:24:01,083 --> 00:24:03,560
And I felt a, a little burning in

628
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:05,883
my right lane, but nothing was bleeding or

629
00:24:05,883 --> 00:24:06,361
I.

630
00:24:07,474 --> 00:24:09,383
So, luckily, we had some

631
00:24:11,307 --> 00:24:13,690
people who saw the accident, some good samaritan

632
00:24:13,690 --> 00:24:14,325
pulled over,

633
00:24:15,278 --> 00:24:17,105
and they came to the motor home with,

634
00:24:17,581 --> 00:24:18,932
some tools actually,

635
00:24:19,505 --> 00:24:21,984
and they busted the windshield so I could

636
00:24:21,984 --> 00:24:22,384
get out.

637
00:24:23,984 --> 00:24:26,065
As we yelled back and forth, they had

638
00:24:26,065 --> 00:24:27,184
called 911.

639
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,559
They said are you okay. I said I

640
00:24:30,559 --> 00:24:32,160
think I am. My wife is in the

641
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:32,559
back.

642
00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:35,779
So they busted the windshield so I could

643
00:24:35,839 --> 00:24:37,680
exit at least exit the motor.

644
00:24:38,891 --> 00:24:39,130
So...

645
00:24:39,768 --> 00:24:40,883
Go ahead. Well, then,

646
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:42,020
apparently,

647
00:24:42,556 --> 00:24:44,468
like he said, he called 911.

648
00:24:44,946 --> 00:24:47,416
I'm the yelling at him. Call 911.

649
00:24:48,148 --> 00:24:50,862
We watch the Tv series, 911.

650
00:24:51,022 --> 00:24:53,257
So I'm kind of in my mind thinking

651
00:24:53,257 --> 00:24:55,731
some cute guys are gonna come and lift

652
00:24:55,731 --> 00:24:57,501
me up. Didn't happen.

653
00:24:58,059 --> 00:25:00,531
Guy was kind of annoyed and he didn't

654
00:25:00,531 --> 00:25:02,922
quite know how to get me up, so

655
00:25:02,922 --> 00:25:04,915
then my husband thank gosh.

656
00:25:05,488 --> 00:25:07,641
Yeah. They came through the front through the

657
00:25:07,641 --> 00:25:09,554
wake windshield that was broken out to try

658
00:25:09,554 --> 00:25:10,272
to get to her,

659
00:25:10,990 --> 00:25:13,914
but the couch had broken away as it

660
00:25:14,034 --> 00:25:15,171
when it fell over

661
00:25:15,705 --> 00:25:17,536
and landed in the middle of the aisle

662
00:25:17,536 --> 00:25:20,265
way that was a very blocked area. The

663
00:25:20,959 --> 00:25:23,607
refrigerator the doors flew off the refrigerator

664
00:25:24,157 --> 00:25:26,068
And in reality, it's a good thing, Dana

665
00:25:26,068 --> 00:25:27,364
wasn't in her seat

666
00:25:27,819 --> 00:25:30,071
because 1 of the doors in the refrigerator

667
00:25:30,128 --> 00:25:31,561
went right into her seat.

668
00:25:32,372 --> 00:25:35,077
Put I think. Yeah. Which I think would

669
00:25:35,077 --> 00:25:35,474
have

670
00:25:36,031 --> 00:25:37,383
in the end? Not been a good thing.

671
00:25:37,622 --> 00:25:39,628
Let's just put it that point. So they

672
00:25:39,628 --> 00:25:41,466
did... How did they get you out then?

673
00:25:41,706 --> 00:25:44,422
You're you're kinda... Husband on the floor. My

674
00:25:44,422 --> 00:25:46,714
husband did it. Yeah. The fire were out

675
00:25:46,913 --> 00:25:48,578
sign trying to figure out how do we

676
00:25:48,578 --> 00:25:50,482
get tour? How do we get tour?

677
00:25:51,196 --> 00:25:53,417
And I directed them. I said, take out

678
00:25:53,417 --> 00:25:56,057
the rear air conditioner she's gonna be right

679
00:25:56,057 --> 00:25:59,330
about there. And lift her from there. So

680
00:25:59,330 --> 00:26:01,725
they cut to got a a couple sauce

681
00:26:01,725 --> 00:26:03,321
cut out of a large hole in the

682
00:26:03,321 --> 00:26:03,641
roof.

683
00:26:04,453 --> 00:26:06,936
And brought her out through the air conditioner

684
00:26:07,626 --> 00:26:10,561
hole that they cut. What did... You guys

685
00:26:10,561 --> 00:26:12,646
were both taken to the hospital, but what

686
00:26:12,646 --> 00:26:14,961
did the paramedics tell you at the time?

687
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,473
Well, the paramedics said after things were, like,

688
00:26:18,633 --> 00:26:19,670
calmed down a little bit,

689
00:26:20,484 --> 00:26:22,404
I was speaking with Juan, and he said,

690
00:26:22,964 --> 00:26:25,204
when we pulled up, we figured there'd be

691
00:26:25,204 --> 00:26:27,224
no survivors of this crash

692
00:26:27,525 --> 00:26:28,644
because it looks so bad.

693
00:26:29,299 --> 00:26:29,619
Wow.

694
00:26:30,178 --> 00:26:32,575
Wow. So we were we were blessed to

695
00:26:32,575 --> 00:26:33,294
be able to,

696
00:26:34,013 --> 00:26:35,531
be here and do this with you today

697
00:26:35,531 --> 00:26:37,698
in the way we see it. So you

698
00:26:37,698 --> 00:26:40,641
you guys... The the... We have some pictures

699
00:26:40,641 --> 00:26:43,187
of it, which we'll share with our Youtube

700
00:26:43,187 --> 00:26:44,778
audience that watch the podcast.

701
00:26:45,827 --> 00:26:48,774
But the the the diesel push it was

702
00:26:48,774 --> 00:26:51,242
pretty much ruined. Oh, it's done. Oh, yeah.

703
00:26:51,481 --> 00:26:53,711
It was it was toast in the car.

704
00:26:53,871 --> 00:26:56,035
It The amazing thing is the car, the

705
00:26:56,035 --> 00:26:58,742
tow bar in a blue wax bar held

706
00:26:58,742 --> 00:27:00,892
the car to the motor home, and it

707
00:27:00,892 --> 00:27:02,189
was sideways also

708
00:27:02,978 --> 00:27:05,611
and had slid across the ground and and

709
00:27:05,611 --> 00:27:07,526
stayed right with the motor on through the

710
00:27:07,526 --> 00:27:09,361
entire... Through the entire incident.

711
00:27:10,174 --> 00:27:13,214
20 years. We've been rv 20. We've in

712
00:27:13,214 --> 00:27:15,535
rv 20 years, we've never had an issue

713
00:27:15,535 --> 00:27:17,394
at all. Never had an

714
00:27:17,709 --> 00:27:20,266
never had an accident. No problems. Nothing and

715
00:27:20,266 --> 00:27:23,723
then damn. It just the... Sure. Is there

716
00:27:24,262 --> 00:27:26,315
anything that could've have been done differently with

717
00:27:26,513 --> 00:27:28,976
the tires did you learn anything about how

718
00:27:28,976 --> 00:27:31,042
old your tires were what brand,

719
00:27:31,996 --> 00:27:34,876
anything in the tires that that you. The

720
00:27:34,876 --> 00:27:36,710
tires the tires were 2 and a half

721
00:27:36,710 --> 00:27:38,544
years old. They weren't old.

722
00:27:39,261 --> 00:27:41,654
They looked fantastic. I actually when I took

723
00:27:41,654 --> 00:27:42,770
it in for service.

724
00:27:43,184 --> 00:27:44,778
I had them... I said, could you check

725
00:27:44,778 --> 00:27:46,929
the tires, you know, and make sure they

726
00:27:46,929 --> 00:27:49,320
looked good and everything, which they did, You

727
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:50,595
know, that my mechanics did.

728
00:27:51,167 --> 00:27:53,071
They said it looks fantastic. I don't think

729
00:27:53,071 --> 00:27:54,023
you'll have any problems.

730
00:27:54,738 --> 00:27:57,436
There were probably 15000 miles on the tires.

731
00:27:57,674 --> 00:27:59,474
You know, not a ton of miles, but

732
00:27:59,673 --> 00:28:01,266
we used the motor home quite a bit,

733
00:28:01,505 --> 00:28:03,972
so they didn't weren't sitting still a lot.

734
00:28:05,007 --> 00:28:05,507
And

735
00:28:06,361 --> 00:28:07,339
you know, we

736
00:28:07,889 --> 00:28:10,603
we have as... We mentioned we've purchased a

737
00:28:10,603 --> 00:28:13,237
new motor on since then. Yeah. We'll I'll

738
00:28:13,317 --> 00:28:15,073
I'll come to that. I just just wanna

739
00:28:15,073 --> 00:28:17,483
go this tire thing. And the other thing

740
00:28:17,483 --> 00:28:19,239
is your speed, you said you go about

741
00:28:19,239 --> 00:28:19,957
65.

742
00:28:20,596 --> 00:28:22,591
And, you know, I've seen so many other

743
00:28:22,591 --> 00:28:23,948
people going down

744
00:28:24,427 --> 00:28:28,104
the interstate and they're they're 70, 75 miles

745
00:28:28,104 --> 00:28:28,502
an hour.

746
00:28:29,218 --> 00:28:31,286
If you had been in been going that

747
00:28:31,286 --> 00:28:31,684
fast,

748
00:28:32,653 --> 00:28:34,721
I would imagine this accident would have been

749
00:28:34,721 --> 00:28:36,949
much, much worse if that's hard to believe,

750
00:28:37,108 --> 00:28:38,699
but even even worse than it was.

751
00:28:39,589 --> 00:28:41,663
Oh, yeah. Definitely because it would have probably

752
00:28:41,663 --> 00:28:43,359
it it would had a lot more momentum

753
00:28:43,896 --> 00:28:45,890
that would have pushed it farther as it

754
00:28:45,890 --> 00:28:48,282
was sliding across the ground and stuff once

755
00:28:48,282 --> 00:28:49,000
it rolled over.

756
00:28:49,733 --> 00:28:50,452
And So

757
00:28:51,330 --> 00:28:53,586
go ahead. You so you guys were hospitalized

758
00:28:53,645 --> 00:28:55,721
for a little bit. Right? Just for a

759
00:28:55,721 --> 00:28:58,036
couple hours. They checked us out.

760
00:28:59,568 --> 00:29:03,505
They gave us cat scans with die with

761
00:29:03,564 --> 00:29:06,861
contrast. Yep. And nothing in our brain. They

762
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,255
released us. At 11PM.

763
00:29:09,815 --> 00:29:11,894
I had no shoes, no socks.

764
00:29:12,375 --> 00:29:14,295
They released us to their cab,

765
00:29:14,695 --> 00:29:16,375
which took us to a hotel.

766
00:29:17,669 --> 00:29:18,388
And that was it.

767
00:29:19,108 --> 00:29:22,384
So nobody body. We had nothing. They just

768
00:29:22,384 --> 00:29:24,862
released us to this. Everything in the motor

769
00:29:24,862 --> 00:29:27,510
home, none of that stuff has gone. Did...

770
00:29:27,748 --> 00:29:29,970
What did your family and friends say? Did

771
00:29:29,970 --> 00:29:32,215
they say that's it? You guys are done

772
00:29:32,350 --> 00:29:32,850
Rv,

773
00:29:33,223 --> 00:29:34,889
and what did you guys say?

774
00:29:35,619 --> 00:29:36,438
Our family

775
00:29:36,815 --> 00:29:37,953
was extremely

776
00:29:38,490 --> 00:29:41,680
supportive. Yeah. They were extremely supportive. Even my

777
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,153
ex. Yeah. Even her ex. Are you gonna

778
00:29:44,153 --> 00:29:46,720
get another 1 because that's who you are.

779
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:49,932
And I said norms in his bed

780
00:29:50,708 --> 00:29:51,208
rec,

781
00:29:51,825 --> 00:29:54,935
looking at another 1. So apparently we are.

782
00:29:56,143 --> 00:29:58,392
I had some friends who never

783
00:29:58,845 --> 00:30:00,140
understood Rv.

784
00:30:00,753 --> 00:30:02,501
They're kinda like from my first line.

785
00:30:03,315 --> 00:30:06,275
And they all thought that we should just,

786
00:30:06,434 --> 00:30:08,455
you know, be grateful we were alive

787
00:30:08,835 --> 00:30:09,875
and hang it up.

788
00:30:10,609 --> 00:30:13,397
Did you read listen? You never for a

789
00:30:13,397 --> 00:30:16,823
moment thought about saying okay. That's it. We're

790
00:30:16,823 --> 00:30:17,062
done.

791
00:30:18,192 --> 00:30:21,002
No. Not at all. People... And you were

792
00:30:21,777 --> 00:30:24,564
You started really looking for another Rv norm.

793
00:30:24,803 --> 00:30:26,157
Is that what I heard right?

794
00:30:26,809 --> 00:30:28,559
Well, we were sitting laying in the bed

795
00:30:28,559 --> 00:30:30,786
in the hotel, you know, just trying to

796
00:30:30,786 --> 00:30:32,298
recuperate a little, and I hit my phone,

797
00:30:32,457 --> 00:30:35,535
and I'm just flipping on Facebook looking just

798
00:30:35,813 --> 00:30:37,190
wasting time, basically.

799
00:30:37,646 --> 00:30:39,818
And all of a sudden ed came up

800
00:30:40,036 --> 00:30:41,788
for an Rv Elk guard in The indiana

801
00:30:41,788 --> 00:30:41,947
app,

802
00:30:44,118 --> 00:30:47,234
Brand new Rv up there, and I'm looking

803
00:30:47,234 --> 00:30:49,152
at it, and I leaned over to Nate,

804
00:30:49,232 --> 00:30:50,830
and I said here's our new Rv.

805
00:30:53,782 --> 00:30:54,416
And it was.

806
00:30:55,605 --> 00:30:56,873
It was. We ended up,

807
00:30:57,586 --> 00:30:59,983
purchasing it actually. We just went up to

808
00:31:00,222 --> 00:31:01,894
Indiana to get it. Yeah.

809
00:31:02,849 --> 00:31:04,702
So are you doing anything

810
00:31:05,395 --> 00:31:05,895
differently?

811
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,296
Tires. Yes. We put the Tyrone bands on

812
00:31:11,296 --> 00:31:11,614
retire.

813
00:31:12,489 --> 00:31:12,966
Explain those.

814
00:31:13,682 --> 00:31:16,519
Explain. They're supposed to help keep the tire

815
00:31:16,639 --> 00:31:18,736
on the vehicle if you have a rollout

816
00:31:19,114 --> 00:31:20,731
and allow you to steer it

817
00:31:21,588 --> 00:31:21,907
better.

818
00:31:22,546 --> 00:31:24,701
And and, where do people get those?

819
00:31:26,071 --> 00:31:28,380
We got them from our dealership. They where

820
00:31:28,380 --> 00:31:30,529
the Rv came from. We called them. When

821
00:31:30,529 --> 00:31:31,962
we talked to them, we said, no, we'd

822
00:31:31,962 --> 00:31:33,316
like to have these installed.

823
00:31:33,969 --> 00:31:36,203
Can you do that? And they said we

824
00:31:36,203 --> 00:31:38,598
will have it done for you? I think

825
00:31:38,598 --> 00:31:42,030
on your site on Facebook, People mentioned that.

826
00:31:42,443 --> 00:31:45,783
Yes. They did. And and that's, that's how

827
00:31:45,783 --> 00:31:48,328
we found you because because we have followed...

828
00:31:48,964 --> 00:31:51,111
You you shared all the details with our

829
00:31:51,270 --> 00:31:54,473
Facebook group Rv lifestyle Facebook group and Yes.

830
00:31:54,951 --> 00:31:57,823
That tyrone tire blow up protection that they

831
00:31:57,823 --> 00:32:00,614
have is is is really neat to think.

832
00:32:01,412 --> 00:32:01,912
So

833
00:32:02,705 --> 00:32:04,085
for those who have

834
00:32:04,785 --> 00:32:05,285
accidents

835
00:32:05,985 --> 00:32:07,525
or there are setbacks,

836
00:32:08,225 --> 00:32:10,158
how do you pick up the pieces? And

837
00:32:10,158 --> 00:32:12,653
just keep on going. You said something nada

838
00:32:13,030 --> 00:32:14,407
that I... You said

839
00:32:14,785 --> 00:32:17,177
that's what we are where our viewers. That's

840
00:32:17,177 --> 00:32:17,815
what we are.

841
00:32:18,533 --> 00:32:19,251
Talk about that.

842
00:32:22,139 --> 00:32:25,034
Like I said, when we first met, we

843
00:32:25,252 --> 00:32:27,806
discuss that we both wanted to Rv and

844
00:32:27,806 --> 00:32:29,652
we have been ever since.

845
00:32:30,525 --> 00:32:33,780
We traveled all over the United States and

846
00:32:33,780 --> 00:32:36,454
back to some of the great national parks

847
00:32:36,654 --> 00:32:38,590
we've taken our granddaughter

848
00:32:39,206 --> 00:32:42,077
who couldn't wait to come, and then wanted

849
00:32:42,077 --> 00:32:43,114
to stay longer,

850
00:32:43,513 --> 00:32:46,440
and we are our viewers. This is our

851
00:32:46,559 --> 00:32:48,075
second part of our life.

852
00:32:48,793 --> 00:32:51,027
We bought a house together for the first

853
00:32:51,027 --> 00:32:53,260
time, what 2 years ago. Mh.

854
00:32:53,914 --> 00:32:55,909
So we now have a house that we

855
00:32:55,909 --> 00:32:59,681
own together, but our our being has always

856
00:32:59,740 --> 00:33:01,415
been a couple things.

857
00:33:01,989 --> 00:33:04,703
It's amazing that he wanted to Rv and

858
00:33:04,863 --> 00:33:07,918
I had Rv, but just little bits

859
00:33:08,296 --> 00:33:10,052
in my first life. If you know to

860
00:33:10,292 --> 00:33:10,792
Florida,

861
00:33:11,584 --> 00:33:12,063
and,

862
00:33:12,941 --> 00:33:15,576
back and forth to couple of states. Never

863
00:33:15,576 --> 00:33:17,252
to the extent that we do now,

864
00:33:17,891 --> 00:33:19,189
Il Rv

865
00:33:19,727 --> 00:33:22,220
was set up like a second home,

866
00:33:23,019 --> 00:33:26,220
like a summer house you'd have with everything.

867
00:33:26,380 --> 00:33:28,355
We never had to bring in

868
00:33:28,714 --> 00:33:30,470
from the house to the rv,

869
00:33:30,869 --> 00:33:33,104
just food. Everything else was there.

870
00:33:34,221 --> 00:33:36,776
So it was devastating. It was like losing

871
00:33:36,776 --> 00:33:39,021
a house. Yeah. It was, like, having... Wife

872
00:33:39,021 --> 00:33:40,691
was losing a car. Yeah. It was like,

873
00:33:40,850 --> 00:33:42,601
having your summer home blown up in a

874
00:33:42,601 --> 00:33:45,066
tornado in a sense with with the accident.

875
00:33:45,226 --> 00:33:46,044
And we

876
00:33:46,593 --> 00:33:49,700
We've traveled. We've done all 48 states, you

877
00:33:49,700 --> 00:33:49,859
know,

878
00:33:51,134 --> 00:33:53,205
and we just... We we just love doing

879
00:33:53,205 --> 00:33:54,958
it. Yeah. National Parks,

880
00:33:56,087 --> 00:33:57,912
I work camp for a while as a

881
00:33:57,912 --> 00:34:00,769
single work camper in Colorado, and we'd live

882
00:34:00,769 --> 00:34:02,516
in at 6, 7 months at a time.

883
00:34:02,753 --> 00:34:05,789
Yeah. Weeks. Were you able to salvage anything

884
00:34:05,789 --> 00:34:06,425
from the old 1?

885
00:34:07,220 --> 00:34:09,684
0, yeah. We got a a bunch of

886
00:34:09,684 --> 00:34:10,161
stuff. They...

887
00:34:10,876 --> 00:34:13,518
As as her as he was, the next

888
00:34:13,518 --> 00:34:13,918
day,

889
00:34:14,398 --> 00:34:14,898
he

890
00:34:15,516 --> 00:34:18,393
went to the Rv, and I don't know

891
00:34:18,393 --> 00:34:21,601
how. Got inside and he got so many

892
00:34:21,601 --> 00:34:24,787
of my favorite things. Stupid things. It's like

893
00:34:24,787 --> 00:34:26,084
my favorite towel

894
00:34:26,460 --> 00:34:29,408
from my daughter from my hair. He pulled

895
00:34:29,408 --> 00:34:31,579
that out. And other things.

896
00:34:32,219 --> 00:34:33,599
They're all in boxes.

897
00:34:34,859 --> 00:34:37,420
We went up just recently to the storage.

898
00:34:37,993 --> 00:34:40,373
And pulled the boxes out. I don't know

899
00:34:40,373 --> 00:34:42,911
what's in there. It's in the Rv outside.

900
00:34:43,784 --> 00:34:44,760
Yeah. Weeks

901
00:34:45,069 --> 00:34:47,382
you immediately got yourself... You you started looking

902
00:34:47,382 --> 00:34:48,179
for another Rv.

903
00:34:48,976 --> 00:34:50,093
What did advice you?

904
00:34:50,810 --> 00:34:53,123
Good for you, Nor. What what advice do

905
00:34:53,123 --> 00:34:56,348
you guys have? For other rv years. When

906
00:34:56,406 --> 00:34:56,725
when

907
00:34:57,283 --> 00:34:59,117
the unexpected happens like that.

908
00:35:00,472 --> 00:35:00,711
Don't...

909
00:35:01,428 --> 00:35:03,034
It's like to say about you know, riding

910
00:35:03,034 --> 00:35:04,700
a horse. You fall off, get back on.

911
00:35:05,255 --> 00:35:08,349
If it's if it's your accident is caused

912
00:35:08,349 --> 00:35:08,849
by

913
00:35:09,873 --> 00:35:12,743
something other than something you've done. You know

914
00:35:12,743 --> 00:35:14,497
what I'm saying where you've made a mistake

915
00:35:14,497 --> 00:35:14,975
driving.

916
00:35:16,570 --> 00:35:19,217
Don't hesitate to go again. Accidents do happen.

917
00:35:19,377 --> 00:35:20,893
That's why it's called an accident.

918
00:35:21,612 --> 00:35:25,125
Things do occur. I mean, we're thankful that

919
00:35:25,125 --> 00:35:27,120
we were able to survive it and survive

920
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,731
it as as good as we did.

921
00:35:29,528 --> 00:35:31,544
I know myself. I was nervous

922
00:35:32,081 --> 00:35:34,713
going to that mona the first day after

923
00:35:34,713 --> 00:35:36,387
the accident I had a rent a car

924
00:35:36,387 --> 00:35:36,866
to do it.

925
00:35:37,679 --> 00:35:40,230
And driving down I 81. I had to

926
00:35:40,230 --> 00:35:42,304
go right past for the accident was,

927
00:35:43,021 --> 00:35:45,573
and I didn't go over 55 miles an

928
00:35:45,573 --> 00:35:47,840
hour that whole trip. Because I just

929
00:35:48,295 --> 00:35:50,362
I felt... I just felt nervous behind the

930
00:35:50,362 --> 00:35:52,032
wheel a little bit because this is, joke,

931
00:35:52,510 --> 00:35:54,577
not even 24 hours later.

932
00:35:55,390 --> 00:35:55,789
And

933
00:35:56,829 --> 00:35:58,190
you know, I got to the motor home.

934
00:35:58,429 --> 00:36:00,670
I got to see the aftermath so to

935
00:36:00,670 --> 00:36:03,070
speak of the accident and and what it

936
00:36:03,070 --> 00:36:03,390
occurred.

937
00:36:04,124 --> 00:36:06,382
And the mess, the disaster

938
00:36:06,762 --> 00:36:08,280
that it it turned into.

939
00:36:09,958 --> 00:36:12,596
Because our trip was gonna be A3A3

940
00:36:12,596 --> 00:36:13,235
month trip.

941
00:36:13,889 --> 00:36:15,717
And here we are, just a little over

942
00:36:15,717 --> 00:36:18,101
a month into it, and it's over.

943
00:36:19,372 --> 00:36:22,074
I will admit because we now have a

944
00:36:22,074 --> 00:36:22,472
new 1.

945
00:36:23,044 --> 00:36:26,156
Coming home was a long ride, and I

946
00:36:26,156 --> 00:36:27,592
was a little anxious.

947
00:36:28,789 --> 00:36:30,007
But I just

948
00:36:30,878 --> 00:36:32,628
It took a deep breath, like, I used

949
00:36:32,628 --> 00:36:35,252
to tell my patience, and I relaxed, and

950
00:36:35,331 --> 00:36:37,479
I said it's not in our hands. I

951
00:36:37,638 --> 00:36:38,751
I think that's important.

952
00:36:39,403 --> 00:36:41,873
I really felt that everything we could do,

953
00:36:42,032 --> 00:36:44,821
he could do to keep us safe was

954
00:36:44,821 --> 00:36:45,060
done.

955
00:36:46,829 --> 00:36:47,789
That was... It's...

956
00:36:48,349 --> 00:36:52,289
You... Your spirit and your sense of perspective

957
00:36:52,909 --> 00:36:54,029
that it was an accident.

958
00:36:54,670 --> 00:36:55,389
Accidents happened.

959
00:36:55,884 --> 00:36:57,634
And, you know, they don't happen all the

960
00:36:57,634 --> 00:36:58,827
time, but they do happen.

961
00:37:00,259 --> 00:37:02,885
So you, got your new rake, and,

962
00:37:03,681 --> 00:37:05,608
we'll put a picture of it. A beautiful

963
00:37:05,608 --> 00:37:06,428
new Georgetown.

964
00:37:08,085 --> 00:37:09,603
When's your next trip then?

965
00:37:10,882 --> 00:37:13,233
In approximately 3 weeks I

966
00:37:13,846 --> 00:37:15,753
we're going up to the Chicago area to

967
00:37:15,753 --> 00:37:18,059
get our granddaughter that we were supposed to

968
00:37:18,059 --> 00:37:20,523
pick up on the original trip where that

969
00:37:20,523 --> 00:37:21,556
when the accident occurred.

970
00:37:22,369 --> 00:37:23,730
And we're taking them to

971
00:37:24,289 --> 00:37:26,210
we're taking them to pigeon forge and taking

972
00:37:26,210 --> 00:37:28,630
up the Great Smoky national park, and,

973
00:37:29,501 --> 00:37:31,409
It'll be next. It should be fine. It's

974
00:37:31,409 --> 00:37:33,556
only gonna be a 10 day trip instead

975
00:37:33,556 --> 00:37:35,226
3 weeks, but they're excited.

976
00:37:35,623 --> 00:37:38,581
And this Rv has bunk beds, so they

977
00:37:38,581 --> 00:37:39,137
can't wait.

978
00:37:39,933 --> 00:37:41,922
Yeah. We're a diesel push head down to

979
00:37:41,922 --> 00:37:43,592
sleep out an air mattress on the floor.

980
00:37:44,323 --> 00:37:46,551
Because when we purchased that coach, we purchased

981
00:37:46,551 --> 00:37:48,938
it basically for the 2 of us. Yeah.

982
00:37:49,097 --> 00:37:51,643
Where this 1, it's more family oriented. Well,

983
00:37:51,723 --> 00:37:54,369
no. It had a sleeper Yeah. Elsa.

984
00:37:54,928 --> 00:37:57,326
And he pulled it out and put these

985
00:37:57,326 --> 00:38:00,682
great recliner seats in it. So it had

986
00:38:00,682 --> 00:38:03,180
no place for kids to sleep, but

987
00:38:03,494 --> 00:38:04,713
I think our

988
00:38:05,332 --> 00:38:07,010
perspective is different now.

989
00:38:07,730 --> 00:38:07,969
Well,

990
00:38:08,848 --> 00:38:11,426

National Park.

1054
00:40:45,045 --> 00:40:47,282
We've been following this story closely over the

1055
00:40:47,282 --> 00:40:47,682
weekend.

1056
00:40:48,161 --> 00:40:50,485
And as of this writing, The National Park

1057
00:40:50,644 --> 00:40:53,813
Service and Fbi are not providing many details.

1058
00:40:54,289 --> 00:40:55,953
What we do know is there was an

1059
00:40:55,953 --> 00:40:56,769
arm band

1060
00:40:57,079 --> 00:40:58,993
making threats at Canyon village.

1061
00:40:59,551 --> 00:41:02,503
The national Park service responded, there was a

1062
00:41:02,503 --> 00:41:02,981
shootout,

1063
00:41:03,380 --> 00:41:05,454

in stable condition.

1066
00:41:09,616 --> 00:41:12,806
We found several news articles describing the scary

1067
00:41:12,806 --> 00:41:14,083
moments of the shootout.

1068
00:41:14,721 --> 00:41:16,417
Power employees were scrambling

1069
00:41:16,889 --> 00:41:19,348
hiding behind barriers and closet doors,

1070
00:41:19,903 --> 00:41:21,727
making it sound like the shooter was not

1071
00:41:21,727 --> 00:41:23,473
a tourist, but rather a worker.

1072
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,001
Also, a Facebook page kept by a former

1073
00:41:27,294 --> 00:41:29,990
national Park service of officers said the shooter

1074
00:41:29,990 --> 00:41:31,789
worked as a concession

1075
00:41:32,229 --> 00:41:32,548
employee,

1076
00:41:33,108 --> 00:41:36,165
and this match images of armed officers

1077
00:41:36,544 --> 00:41:37,443
entering the

1078
00:41:37,822 --> 00:41:39,500
concession employee housing.

1079
00:41:40,234 --> 00:41:42,784
And Canyon Village just located in the center

1080
00:41:42,784 --> 00:41:45,335
of the park and includes a lodge and

1081
00:41:45,335 --> 00:41:49,806
cabins, campground grounds, ranger center, visitors center's, store

1082
00:41:49,806 --> 00:41:52,345
and employee housing. You know, 1 of the

1083
00:41:52,345 --> 00:41:54,170
things that... And I made because I'm a

1084
00:41:54,170 --> 00:41:55,304
journalist, but

1085
00:41:56,405 --> 00:41:57,991
when you hear something like that? What are

1086
00:41:57,991 --> 00:41:59,497
the first things that go through your mind?

1087
00:42:00,211 --> 00:42:00,711
And

1088
00:42:01,321 --> 00:42:02,931
I find it really

1089
00:42:03,958 --> 00:42:05,495
ind ind indispensable the

1090
00:42:05,873 --> 00:42:07,788
the the government, because that's what we're talking

1091
00:42:07,788 --> 00:42:08,847
about the N ups

1092
00:42:09,703 --> 00:42:10,442
withhold everything

1093
00:42:11,471 --> 00:42:13,611
All we wanna know was if if you

1094
00:42:13,611 --> 00:42:14,959
had told us racing this site, we believe

1095
00:42:14,959 --> 00:42:17,733
this is an employee, a disgruntled employee. Great.

1096
00:42:17,892 --> 00:42:18,526
We understand that.

1097
00:42:19,340 --> 00:42:21,099
But was it random? Was it some guy?

1098
00:42:21,340 --> 00:42:22,059
Was it terror?

1099
00:42:22,539 --> 00:42:24,159
They just don't say anything.

1100
00:42:24,940 --> 00:42:25,440
And

1101
00:42:25,980 --> 00:42:26,539
I'm sorry.

1102
00:42:27,434 --> 00:42:29,340
It would solve a lot of issues with

1103
00:42:29,340 --> 00:42:32,041
people, if you would just be as open

1104
00:42:32,041 --> 00:42:32,779
and transparent

1105
00:42:33,550 --> 00:42:34,980
as you possibly could be.

1106
00:42:35,854 --> 00:42:37,859
It just really helps you know,

1107
00:42:38,819 --> 00:42:40,900
tell us the truth and tell us as

1108
00:42:40,900 --> 00:42:43,219
soon as you can when something like that

1109
00:42:43,219 --> 00:42:45,940
happens. Because that's a that's a scary story.

1110
00:42:47,074 --> 00:42:47,234
Alright.

1111
00:42:48,033 --> 00:42:50,670
That's my little soap box rant for today.

1112
00:42:51,469 --> 00:42:53,867
Here's the story that is a sad 1

1113
00:42:53,867 --> 00:42:54,346
as well.

1114
00:42:56,036 --> 00:42:58,818
A grandpa, a son and his grandson who

1115
00:42:58,818 --> 00:42:59,875
were preparing

1116
00:43:00,250 --> 00:43:02,635
for a trip out West were hospitalized after

1117
00:43:02,635 --> 00:43:03,373
their Rv

1118
00:43:04,163 --> 00:43:06,398
exploded. They were loading up their a, class

1119
00:43:06,398 --> 00:43:07,616
a for an epic

1120
00:43:07,994 --> 00:43:09,031
trip out west,

1121
00:43:09,909 --> 00:43:11,606
and it bursts into flames

1122
00:43:12,237 --> 00:43:14,409
the neighborhood, you know, rocked to the neighborhood,

1123
00:43:15,263 --> 00:43:16,935
sent everybody to the hospital,

1124
00:43:17,572 --> 00:43:20,142
the heat from this fire was so intense

1125
00:43:20,771 --> 00:43:23,154
siding a nearby homes melted.

1126
00:43:23,790 --> 00:43:25,777
And the moment the explosion occurred was caught

1127
00:43:25,777 --> 00:43:27,366
on a neighbor's ring camera.

1128
00:43:28,019 --> 00:43:30,656
Families in peabody, Massachusetts, they were preparing to

1129
00:43:30,656 --> 00:43:32,494
leave for the Grand Canyon in the next

1130
00:43:32,494 --> 00:43:35,291
day. The father and the grandfather have third

1131
00:43:35,291 --> 00:43:36,030
degree burns

1132
00:43:36,344 --> 00:43:38,344
hospitalized and stable condition as we,

1133
00:43:38,984 --> 00:43:40,204
record this episode

1134
00:43:40,664 --> 00:43:42,764
in the intensive carrying at the hospital

1135
00:43:43,545 --> 00:43:45,065
long road for them before

1136
00:43:45,639 --> 00:43:48,266
before they're they're out of there. The grandson

1137
00:43:48,266 --> 00:43:49,938
was treated for burns and he was released,

1138
00:43:50,098 --> 00:43:52,806
but we'll continue he starts to burn treatment

1139
00:43:52,806 --> 00:43:53,601
as an outpatient.

1140
00:43:54,492 --> 00:43:56,399
They don't know the cause of this fire.

1141
00:43:57,114 --> 00:43:57,750
And, again,

1142
00:43:58,703 --> 00:44:00,452
you know, and it... It's probably part because

1143
00:44:00,452 --> 00:44:02,756
we don't have a really strong news media

1144
00:44:02,756 --> 00:44:04,630
in this country anymore, but,

1145
00:44:05,010 --> 00:44:06,469
you know, share the cause

1146
00:44:06,769 --> 00:44:08,769
because the cause of something like that, you

1147
00:44:08,769 --> 00:44:10,230
know, was it leaky propane?

1148
00:44:10,530 --> 00:44:11,010
We don't know.

1149
00:44:12,541 --> 00:44:14,290
When we know that, it it helps us

1150
00:44:14,290 --> 00:44:15,028
all learn

1151
00:44:16,038 --> 00:44:18,422
our hearts out to this family and getting

1152
00:44:18,422 --> 00:44:20,091
ready for a great vacation and,

1153
00:44:21,378 --> 00:44:23,044
obviously, it could have been worse and for

1154
00:44:23,044 --> 00:44:23,838
that we're grateful,

1155
00:44:24,711 --> 00:44:25,028
But

1156
00:44:25,663 --> 00:44:27,806
tell us what it was, so we can

1157
00:44:27,806 --> 00:44:28,282
learn from it.

1158
00:44:29,652 --> 00:44:32,922
So dangerous record breaking temperatures are expected to

1159
00:44:32,922 --> 00:44:35,554
continue this week and it's affecting, like a

1160
00:44:35,554 --> 00:44:38,026
third of the Us population or or even

1161
00:44:38,026 --> 00:44:38,505
more people.

1162
00:44:39,158 --> 00:44:41,710
So if you're camping right now, how are

1163
00:44:41,710 --> 00:44:44,182
you keeping cool? Your Rv cool?

1164
00:44:44,821 --> 00:44:47,692
There is a record breaking heat wave underway

1165
00:44:47,692 --> 00:44:50,680
that's expected to shatter records from the west

1166
00:44:50,818 --> 00:44:51,855
to the East Coast,

1167
00:44:52,493 --> 00:44:54,886
affecting about hundred and 30000000 people.

1168
00:44:55,603 --> 00:44:57,858
And this warning went out over the weekend

1169
00:44:57,996 --> 00:45:00,809
and is can continuing through Wednesday this week.

1170
00:45:01,369 --> 00:45:02,410
With the Pacific

1171
00:45:02,970 --> 00:45:04,410
Northwest, mid Atlantic,

1172
00:45:04,809 --> 00:45:08,416
and Northwest all expecting temperatures over a hundred

1173
00:45:08,416 --> 00:45:09,155
degrees fahrenheit.

1174
00:45:10,010 --> 00:45:12,025
Some cities like Portland, Oregon

1175
00:45:12,402 --> 00:45:14,098
have declared a state of emergency.

1176
00:45:15,288 --> 00:45:17,464
Couple fires that broken out in California,

1177
00:45:18,082 --> 00:45:20,897
and in New Jersey, a wildfire there forced

1178
00:45:21,355 --> 00:45:23,692
evacuation of the baton, campground

1179
00:45:24,483 --> 00:45:27,750
desert, spots in the southwest are bracing for

1180
00:45:27,750 --> 00:45:30,300
a hundred and 20 degree fahrenheit temperatures,

1181
00:45:30,857 --> 00:45:33,407
and death valley, 1 of the hottest places

1182
00:45:33,407 --> 00:45:36,283
on earth set a record Friday for reaching

1183
00:45:36,283 --> 00:45:38,371
a hundred and 27 degrees fahrenheit,

1184
00:45:38,903 --> 00:45:41,365
but temperatures are expected to reach a hundred

1185
00:45:41,365 --> 00:45:43,056
and 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

1186
00:45:43,682 --> 00:45:45,907
Early this week. Can you imagine? You know,

1187
00:45:46,145 --> 00:45:49,244
somebody on our our Facebook community wrote me

1188
00:45:49,482 --> 00:45:51,326
a note and they said, hey, why don't

1189
00:45:51,326 --> 00:45:53,556
you and Jen come out to Death Valley.

1190
00:45:53,795 --> 00:45:55,387
We'd love to show you around, 1 of

1191
00:45:55,387 --> 00:45:57,856
our favorite places. And I I thought of

1192
00:45:57,856 --> 00:46:00,018
that when I read this story no thanks.

1193
00:46:00,335 --> 00:46:01,922
Not in the summertime. We're not going to

1194
00:46:01,922 --> 00:46:03,930
death. Death is gorgeous, but

1195
00:46:04,302 --> 00:46:05,651
a hundred and 30 degrees.

1196
00:46:06,365 --> 00:46:07,579
We experienced something

1197
00:46:08,047 --> 00:46:09,237
close to that once when we were in

1198
00:46:09,237 --> 00:46:11,857
the Middle East. We're in Petra. And Petra.

1199
00:46:12,015 --> 00:46:14,556
Yeah. Yeah. That was in Jordan. Jordan. And

1200
00:46:14,556 --> 00:46:16,246
then we were also in

1201
00:46:16,793 --> 00:46:19,021
a rain when it was really, really hot

1202
00:46:19,021 --> 00:46:20,293
like, yeah too. Mh.

1203
00:46:20,850 --> 00:46:23,610
So, I... It's just unreal. How oh, hot

1204
00:46:23,729 --> 00:46:26,440
can be. Yeah. Weather is crazy. I mean,

1205
00:46:26,599 --> 00:46:28,592
we had hurricane barrel that

1206
00:46:29,151 --> 00:46:30,368
came shore in Texas

1207
00:46:30,905 --> 00:46:31,782
over the weekend,

1208
00:46:32,594 --> 00:46:34,827
and is now kind of... As you... As

1209
00:46:34,827 --> 00:46:37,539
this is being released on Wednesday. It's supposed

1210
00:46:37,539 --> 00:46:39,453
to sort of the the effects are kinda

1211
00:46:39,453 --> 00:46:40,889
gonna just peter out by the time of

1212
00:46:40,969 --> 00:46:42,165
Reach the great Lakes region.

1213
00:46:43,057 --> 00:46:45,052
And they say that we're gonna get really

1214
00:46:45,052 --> 00:46:46,807
bad hurricane season this year.

1215
00:46:48,004 --> 00:46:49,041
But in the past,

1216
00:46:50,014 --> 00:46:52,012
past week or so strong winds,

1217
00:46:53,131 --> 00:46:55,209
have killed 1 person injured 3,

1218
00:46:56,008 --> 00:46:57,926
many Rv in Kansas.

1219
00:46:58,565 --> 00:46:59,500
Yeah, we're wrecked

1220
00:47:00,739 --> 00:47:01,860
the storm went through,

1221
00:47:02,340 --> 00:47:04,920
last week out there knocking over Rv and

1222
00:47:04,980 --> 00:47:05,800
can imagine

1223
00:47:06,420 --> 00:47:08,824
the fear lot campers had. They were celebrating

1224
00:47:08,824 --> 00:47:10,175
the fourth of July by camping.

1225
00:47:10,890 --> 00:47:13,511
There's these sheer winds that came to 70

1226
00:47:13,511 --> 00:47:14,226
miles an hour,

1227
00:47:14,862 --> 00:47:15,259
and

1228
00:47:16,148 --> 00:47:18,213
many rv viewers had planned on camping at

1229
00:47:18,611 --> 00:47:20,994
Kansas Lake there through the weekend, but instead,

1230
00:47:21,074 --> 00:47:23,219
they spent it, picking up the pieces of

1231
00:47:23,219 --> 00:47:24,434
their mangled Rv

1232
00:47:25,304 --> 00:47:26,824
We saw some pictures in the area that

1233
00:47:26,824 --> 00:47:28,905
showed all kinds of Rv knocked over,

1234
00:47:29,945 --> 00:47:32,664
must have been very terrifying for everybody.

1235
00:47:33,237 --> 00:47:35,225
So 1 of the things that we recommend

1236
00:47:35,225 --> 00:47:37,475
is that you have a weather

1237
00:47:38,009 --> 00:47:38,509
radio

1238
00:47:39,202 --> 00:47:39,702
and

1239
00:47:40,253 --> 00:47:42,009
we will put a link in this story

1240
00:47:42,009 --> 00:47:44,483
to the 1 that we used from Midland.

1241
00:47:45,441 --> 00:47:47,276
We we'll just put on an Amazon affiliate

1242
00:47:47,276 --> 00:47:47,755
link to it.

1243
00:47:48,407 --> 00:47:50,793
But these things are really must have for

1244
00:47:50,793 --> 00:47:53,179
an Rv for anybody, really, but particularly in

1245
00:47:53,259 --> 00:47:53,974
Rv. So,

1246
00:47:55,663 --> 00:47:58,696
this year has been crazy weather wise. So,

1247
00:47:59,893 --> 00:48:01,330
that's the money if you don't have on

1248
00:48:01,330 --> 00:48:04,137
get 1 of these Midland weather radios. There's

1249
00:48:04,137 --> 00:48:05,486
others you can get. This is that must

1250
00:48:05,486 --> 00:48:07,549
be the 1 that we have, and and

1251
00:48:07,628 --> 00:48:10,485
I can we can recommend it. Stay informed,

1252
00:48:10,961 --> 00:48:11,914
crazy weather out there.

1253
00:48:12,643 --> 00:48:14,651
Alright. When we come back the Rv questioned

1254
00:48:14,707 --> 00:48:15,818
of the week and,

1255
00:48:16,692 --> 00:48:18,438
Mike jen story time.

1256
00:48:19,074 --> 00:48:19,550
Stay with us.

1257
00:48:20,359 --> 00:48:22,454
When we're asked what's the most important

1258
00:48:22,911 --> 00:48:24,985
modification we made to our Rv, it's an

1259
00:48:24,985 --> 00:48:28,973
easy answer. Battle borne batteries. Battle borne batteries

1260
00:48:28,973 --> 00:48:33,534
are quality safe reliable lithium batteries that allow

1261
00:48:33,534 --> 00:48:36,346
us to stay out there off the grid

1262
00:48:36,404 --> 00:48:36,882
longer.

1263
00:48:37,361 --> 00:48:40,567
Lithium batteries charge faster They charge fuller they're

1264
00:48:40,567 --> 00:48:43,919
longer lasting their maintenance free, and battle borne

1265
00:48:43,919 --> 00:48:47,452
batteries are protected by a 10 year guarantee.

1266
00:48:48,243 --> 00:48:50,714
Now in our case, they just dropped into

1267
00:48:50,714 --> 00:48:53,425
the existing Ag g batteries that we have,

1268
00:48:53,823 --> 00:48:55,497
and they'll probably be the same on your

1269
00:48:55,497 --> 00:48:55,975
rig too.

1270
00:48:56,628 --> 00:48:59,662
Valve battery experts can get those in your

1271
00:48:59,662 --> 00:49:01,818
rig just like they dead with ours. They

1272
00:49:01,818 --> 00:49:03,255
can also match you up with the right

1273
00:49:03,255 --> 00:49:06,300
cabling, the inverter, the charger, the solar controller

1274
00:49:06,300 --> 00:49:06,777
everything.

1275
00:49:07,412 --> 00:49:07,809
Jennifer

1276
00:49:08,365 --> 00:49:11,144
Swear by our battle born batteries, they allow

1277
00:49:11,144 --> 00:49:14,179
us to boo dock off the grid Check

1278
00:49:14,179 --> 00:49:16,816
them out. Go to rv lifestyle dot com

1280
00:49:22,264 --> 00:49:24,824
Welcome back to the Rv question of the

1281
00:49:24,824 --> 00:49:27,304
week. And the question is, we just bought

1282
00:49:27,304 --> 00:49:29,864
a fifth wheel and wonder, what do you

1283
00:49:29,864 --> 00:49:32,429
take oh after a trip. And what do

1284
00:49:32,429 --> 00:49:35,136
you leave in the fifth wheel between trips

1285
00:49:35,136 --> 00:49:36,171
and that's Alexis.

1286
00:49:36,967 --> 00:49:37,206
Well,

1287
00:49:38,893 --> 00:49:40,409
I don't know. What what do we? Let's

1288
00:49:40,409 --> 00:49:41,526
see. What do we take out for first?

1289
00:49:41,765 --> 00:49:43,839
Well, obviously, we take out all the food

1290
00:49:43,839 --> 00:49:45,833
that's gonna perish because we turn off the

1291
00:49:45,833 --> 00:49:47,588
refrigerator unless we're going away in, like, a

1292
00:49:47,588 --> 00:49:48,066
day or 2.

1293
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,029
And I clean out that refrigerator really good.

1294
00:49:51,268 --> 00:49:52,007
Make sure

1295
00:49:52,463 --> 00:49:54,294
nothing's left in there because, boy wouldn't a

1296
00:49:54,294 --> 00:49:56,206
mess if you leave something in that refrigerator.

1297
00:49:56,444 --> 00:49:57,320
And it kinda melts.

1298
00:49:57,974 --> 00:49:59,971
Yeah. If you have it, you can develop

1299
00:49:59,971 --> 00:50:03,087
mildew in their humidity. So... Yep. So the

1300
00:50:03,087 --> 00:50:06,134
refrigerators totally open the to the doors on

1301
00:50:06,134 --> 00:50:07,962
the refrigerator after it cools off,

1302
00:50:08,677 --> 00:50:09,630
after it warms up.

1303
00:50:10,346 --> 00:50:11,617
And then make sure if you got your

1304
00:50:11,617 --> 00:50:12,094
fifth wheel,

1305
00:50:13,142 --> 00:50:14,575
Remember to shut those doors if you need

1306
00:50:14,575 --> 00:50:15,769
to, if you have to bring in a

1307
00:50:15,769 --> 00:50:18,714
slide. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. That that's when

1308
00:50:18,714 --> 00:50:19,510
we learned the hard.

1309
00:50:20,147 --> 00:50:22,387
To make sure. We weren't a lot of

1310
00:50:22,387 --> 00:50:23,260
things. So I was worried.

1311
00:50:24,054 --> 00:50:25,641
3 quarters of things. The hard way it

1312
00:50:25,641 --> 00:50:29,373
seems. And I look over my pantry and

1313
00:50:29,373 --> 00:50:30,981
think what can I leave out and what

1314
00:50:30,981 --> 00:50:32,735
do I need to bring in? Obviously,

1315
00:50:33,532 --> 00:50:35,844
no fruit or vegetables are left,

1316
00:50:36,562 --> 00:50:40,005
and I consider the cans jars. How long.

1317
00:50:40,244 --> 00:50:41,997
Will it be before we take off again.

1318
00:50:42,874 --> 00:50:43,272
And,

1319
00:50:44,308 --> 00:50:46,635
clothing, that we just leave some jackets some

1320
00:50:46,635 --> 00:50:48,954
raincoat coats umbrellas and things in the fifth

1321
00:50:48,954 --> 00:50:51,035
wheel all the time. It's nice you could

1322
00:50:51,035 --> 00:50:52,315
leave towels in there.

1323
00:50:52,875 --> 00:50:55,035
So you take all your dirty laundry out,

1324
00:50:55,355 --> 00:50:56,094
take the

1325
00:50:56,408 --> 00:50:59,182
sheets off the bed and get everything in

1326
00:50:59,182 --> 00:51:01,719
that you need to clean. And something that

1327
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,305
you need to be aware of is,

1328
00:51:04,193 --> 00:51:04,592
medicine.

1329
00:51:05,231 --> 00:51:07,086
Read the labels on, even

1330
00:51:08,022 --> 00:51:10,494
used for pain killers or vitamins. Vitamins too.

1331
00:51:10,654 --> 00:51:13,627
Yeah. Things like that because excessive heat

1332
00:51:14,497 --> 00:51:16,112
well, ruin their effectiveness,

1333
00:51:16,727 --> 00:51:16,886
know,

1334
00:51:17,682 --> 00:51:19,116
spices, all different things.

1335
00:51:19,673 --> 00:51:21,926
So you have to think about to cold

1336
00:51:21,983 --> 00:51:22,700
or too hot.

1337
00:51:23,432 --> 00:51:25,129
And maybe bring in some things

1338
00:51:25,506 --> 00:51:28,377
that you'd really didn't wanna bring in. Yeah.

1339
00:51:29,095 --> 00:51:30,929
We leave a vacuum cleaner in there.

1340
00:51:31,647 --> 00:51:32,340
We we have

1341
00:51:32,936 --> 00:51:34,765
duplicates of some things. Yes.

1342
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:36,594
We have a coffee,

1343
00:51:37,309 --> 00:51:39,059
you know, I'm really jen doesn't drink coffee.

1344
00:51:39,536 --> 00:51:41,286
I have a keurig, and we leave that

1345
00:51:41,286 --> 00:51:42,001
in there. Mh.

1346
00:51:42,572 --> 00:51:44,713
We do not leave water in it because

1347
00:51:44,713 --> 00:51:46,697
it'll go sku on you, and you don't

1348
00:51:46,697 --> 00:51:48,759
want milk... Not mold. So you you're mold.

1349
00:51:48,918 --> 00:51:50,369
Yeah. So you just kinda,

1350
00:51:51,237 --> 00:51:52,295
clean that out

1351
00:51:52,753 --> 00:51:53,072
about

1352
00:51:54,348 --> 00:51:55,943
close, we do like to leave a lot

1353
00:51:55,943 --> 00:51:57,617
of our clothes out there. Sometimes I'll go

1354
00:51:57,617 --> 00:51:58,814
out and the now. I need that sure.

1355
00:51:58,893 --> 00:52:00,010
We're all, it's out Rv.

1356
00:52:00,740 --> 00:52:01,217
But

1357
00:52:01,613 --> 00:52:01,772
it's...

1358
00:52:02,486 --> 00:52:04,390
1 of the things about having a fifth

1359
00:52:04,390 --> 00:52:06,692
wheel or something larger like that is you

1360
00:52:06,692 --> 00:52:08,688
can leave a lot of nothing there. You

1361
00:52:08,847 --> 00:52:10,828
Can't leave a lot of stuff. And when

1362
00:52:10,986 --> 00:52:13,204
I'm going through all those cupboards looking, I'm

1363
00:52:13,204 --> 00:52:14,235
looking around and saying no.

1364
00:52:15,043 --> 00:52:17,588
Do I need to resupply paper towels,

1365
00:52:18,224 --> 00:52:20,690
napkins or couple of paper plates or am

1366
00:52:20,849 --> 00:52:23,485
I good? Yep. And we're doing that right

1367
00:52:23,485 --> 00:52:25,309
now as a matter of fact because we're

1368
00:52:25,309 --> 00:52:26,896
off gonna be gone for 6 weeks.

1369
00:52:27,689 --> 00:52:28,086
And

1370
00:52:29,053 --> 00:52:30,800
I think the biggest challenge is food. Right?

1371
00:52:30,958 --> 00:52:32,228
Because you have to bring your food in.

1372
00:52:32,864 --> 00:52:34,690
Yeah. Yeah. And,

1373
00:52:35,246 --> 00:52:38,278
think twice about, like I say, meta sense.

1374
00:52:38,757 --> 00:52:38,916
Yep.

1375
00:52:40,192 --> 00:52:42,345
When we... The day before we're to leave,

1376
00:52:42,504 --> 00:52:44,258
I always go the day before and and

1377
00:52:44,258 --> 00:52:46,251
turn on the refrigerator. So it's nice and

1378
00:52:46,251 --> 00:52:46,751
cold

1379
00:52:47,143 --> 00:52:49,376
and then we put... Once it's cold, we

1380
00:52:49,376 --> 00:52:51,768
can start bringing stuff in, you know, the

1381
00:52:51,768 --> 00:52:53,922
day before the night before, and and it's,

1382
00:52:54,081 --> 00:52:55,517
you know, you have to carry everything in

1383
00:52:55,517 --> 00:52:56,649
all at once. But

1384
00:52:57,288 --> 00:52:59,206
we don't leave the refrigerator on all the

1385
00:52:59,206 --> 00:53:02,163
time. Right. And I like to make up

1386
00:53:02,163 --> 00:53:04,640
sandwiches for when we travel so that

1387
00:53:05,134 --> 00:53:06,651
We're good to go, just pull in a

1388
00:53:06,651 --> 00:53:08,327
rest area and we can have our lunch

1389
00:53:08,327 --> 00:53:09,684
with without me having to do a bunch

1390
00:53:09,684 --> 00:53:12,078
of work. It's all set to go. Even

1391
00:53:12,078 --> 00:53:13,650
what we're going to have that night for

1392
00:53:13,849 --> 00:53:15,927
dinner. I like to have that ready in

1393
00:53:15,927 --> 00:53:18,563
the fridge so that, again, try to make

1394
00:53:18,563 --> 00:53:20,401
it simple. Makes it work before you go,

1395
00:53:20,561 --> 00:53:22,253
but simple when you're on the road. Yep.

1396
00:53:22,809 --> 00:53:24,719
Of, I like to avoid eating out.

1397
00:53:26,230 --> 00:53:26,469
Why?

1398
00:53:27,742 --> 00:53:29,412
Mean, people can hear that. Why? I love

1399
00:53:29,412 --> 00:53:31,178
me. I don't know. I know. That's Go

1400
00:53:31,178 --> 00:53:32,853
cabinets I don't have to cook. It's like

1401
00:53:33,012 --> 00:53:34,448
Often, there's long lines.

1402
00:53:35,006 --> 00:53:35,506
Usually,

1403
00:53:36,681 --> 00:53:39,153
food isn't that good, even a chain,

1404
00:53:39,712 --> 00:53:41,724
you know, 1 chain that you're familiar with.

1405
00:53:41,885 --> 00:53:43,965
The food great. You go to the same

1406
00:53:43,965 --> 00:53:45,885
chain someplace else and the food is awesome.

1407
00:53:46,525 --> 00:53:48,938
There's is normally too much salt. Oh, my

1408
00:53:48,938 --> 00:53:51,492
god. I'm food, and I am supposed to

1409
00:53:51,492 --> 00:53:53,488
avoid salt. All of us should avoid salt.

1410
00:53:53,648 --> 00:53:55,724
Yeah. I think everybody should. And the older

1411
00:53:55,724 --> 00:53:58,613
you get the more salt is really. Not

1412
00:53:58,613 --> 00:53:59,811
your friend. It's not your friend.

1413
00:54:01,010 --> 00:54:01,329
So

1414
00:54:02,288 --> 00:54:03,087
it's pricey.

1415
00:54:03,806 --> 00:54:07,087
Time consuming and pricey. And usually the foods

1416
00:54:07,087 --> 00:54:07,643
not that good.

1417
00:54:08,598 --> 00:54:08,757
Yep.

1418
00:54:09,473 --> 00:54:09,973
So

1419
00:54:10,746 --> 00:54:11,224
there you go.

1420
00:54:12,338 --> 00:54:14,902
We're going through that right now. And we

1421
00:54:14,902 --> 00:54:17,534
hope that helps you Alexis, but you'll figure

1422
00:54:17,534 --> 00:54:20,407
your own system out, and that's kind of

1423
00:54:20,407 --> 00:54:21,940
what we do when we we get in.

1424
00:54:22,099 --> 00:54:23,139
The first thing we do is we bring

1425
00:54:23,139 --> 00:54:25,380
in all the dirty clothes and then over

1426
00:54:25,380 --> 00:54:27,219
the next hour or 2 or sometimes even

1427
00:54:27,219 --> 00:54:28,900
the next day, we'll bring in the, you

1428
00:54:28,900 --> 00:54:30,989
know, the the food. And then turn off

1429
00:54:30,989 --> 00:54:33,614
the refrigerator. And I think everybody's familiar with,

1430
00:54:33,932 --> 00:54:36,239
you know that you can't put something wet.

1431
00:54:37,288 --> 00:54:39,515
In a closed basket. Yet. It has to

1432
00:54:39,515 --> 00:54:41,902
be dry, or you're asking for mold and

1433
00:54:41,902 --> 00:54:44,049
trouble. Yeah. A little more work to clean

1434
00:54:44,049 --> 00:54:46,853
everything up And when we get home from

1435
00:54:46,853 --> 00:54:49,329
a trip, like the next day. If I

1436
00:54:49,329 --> 00:54:50,688
have time the same day, we do it

1437
00:54:50,688 --> 00:54:53,098
the same day. I start wiping things. Down.

1438
00:54:53,417 --> 00:54:55,969
Get things clean, because then it's not so

1439
00:54:55,969 --> 00:54:57,563
overwhelming for the next time you wanna go

1440
00:54:57,643 --> 00:54:59,078
You know, like, oh, I gotta clean that

1441
00:54:59,078 --> 00:55:00,433
thing. Yep. It is.

1442
00:55:01,151 --> 00:55:02,682
Alright. Do you have a question for us?

1443
00:55:02,842 --> 00:55:04,917
If we'd love to answer. Just send us

1444
00:55:04,917 --> 00:55:06,912
to us at our private email, which is

1445
00:55:06,912 --> 00:55:08,051
mike and jen

1446
00:55:08,429 --> 00:55:10,265
at rv lifestyle dot com.

1447
00:55:11,078 --> 00:55:13,094
Time now for Rv

1448
00:55:13,711 --> 00:55:16,047
story time with Micah, and we have a

1449
00:55:16,185 --> 00:55:18,340
only but good for you this week.

1450
00:55:19,630 --> 00:55:22,180
So when we first shared these tips in

1451
00:55:22,180 --> 00:55:25,048
a video like 11 years ago... We looked

1452
00:55:25,048 --> 00:55:27,301
a lot younger. Wait do you see this?

1453
00:55:27,757 --> 00:55:29,465
It really makes a difference thing

1454
00:55:29,839 --> 00:55:31,903
wow. I looked at this video, and I

1455
00:55:31,903 --> 00:55:33,015
said, that was me.

1456
00:55:34,603 --> 00:55:34,921
Yeah.

1457
00:55:35,874 --> 00:55:36,374
But

1458
00:55:36,764 --> 00:55:38,994
we had just been just... I think we'd

1459
00:55:38,994 --> 00:55:41,224
had been rv for maybe 2 years before

1460
00:55:41,224 --> 00:55:42,180
we made this video,

1461
00:55:42,976 --> 00:55:44,649
and we were in a Class b at

1462
00:55:44,649 --> 00:55:47,134
the time. Mh. A road truck, a road

1463
00:55:47,134 --> 00:55:48,727
track class b. Not a lot of room

1464
00:55:48,727 --> 00:55:49,842
in there. Not a lot of room,

1465
00:55:50,639 --> 00:55:53,348
but we have found that this story has

1466
00:55:53,348 --> 00:55:56,072
resonated with so many people. People often sometimes

1467
00:55:56,072 --> 00:55:58,542
oftentimes I0I read your 10 tips for getting

1468
00:55:58,542 --> 00:55:59,419
the along with your...

1469
00:56:00,136 --> 00:56:01,729
For how couples can get along in an

1470
00:56:01,809 --> 00:56:02,787
Rv, and

1471
00:56:03,099 --> 00:56:04,694
I I always have to go what. And

1472
00:56:04,694 --> 00:56:06,608
now I know exactly the talking about. They

1473
00:56:06,608 --> 00:56:08,044
still are digging enough that video.

1474
00:56:08,842 --> 00:56:11,314
And the trip the tips have all held

1475
00:56:11,314 --> 00:56:14,041
true. They still hold very too. Right? Yeah.

1476
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,833
Some things just don't change human nature. So

1477
00:56:16,833 --> 00:56:18,827
we're going to play the audio of that

1478
00:56:18,827 --> 00:56:20,581
and those of you watch on our Youtube

1479
00:56:20,581 --> 00:56:22,496
channel. You'll see the the whole video as

1480
00:56:22,496 --> 00:56:22,655
well.

1481
00:56:23,550 --> 00:56:24,829
But I think you'll pick it all up,

1482
00:56:25,789 --> 00:56:27,170
the 10 tips

1483
00:56:27,710 --> 00:56:30,210
on how couples can live together

1484
00:56:30,750 --> 00:56:31,250
peacefully.

1485
00:56:31,643 --> 00:56:32,599
In a small space.

1486
00:56:33,316 --> 00:56:35,386
Out a recent trip in our road trek.

1487
00:56:35,704 --> 00:56:38,514
Jennifer and I were doing some stuff, and

1488
00:56:38,571 --> 00:56:39,787
well, I

1489
00:56:40,257 --> 00:56:42,963
forgot. We were in a 22 foot long

1490
00:56:42,963 --> 00:56:43,782
motor home

1491
00:56:44,157 --> 00:56:45,749
until she said. I need a little bit

1492
00:56:45,749 --> 00:56:48,238
of space with you not in it. I

1493
00:56:49,091 --> 00:56:49,251
withdrew.

1494
00:56:50,384 --> 00:56:50,884
Immediately.

1495
00:56:52,141 --> 00:56:53,201
But the incident

1496
00:56:53,740 --> 00:56:54,379
got me thinking.

1497
00:56:55,098 --> 00:56:57,256
See has really not all whole lot of

1498
00:56:57,256 --> 00:56:57,815
room in there.

1499
00:56:58,628 --> 00:57:02,444
So to survive and enjoy the adventure, we've

1500
00:57:02,444 --> 00:57:05,147
come off with our top 10 rules for

1501
00:57:05,147 --> 00:57:06,045
getting along

1502
00:57:06,419 --> 00:57:07,293
in a motor home.

1503
00:57:08,742 --> 00:57:10,578
Rule number 1, if you have problems getting

1504
00:57:10,578 --> 00:57:12,014
the long at home, don't expect it to

1505
00:57:12,014 --> 00:57:13,291
be easier in a motor home.

1506
00:57:13,930 --> 00:57:16,338
2 people can share the same space. But

1507
00:57:16,338 --> 00:57:18,881
the most important rule is to respect and

1508
00:57:18,881 --> 00:57:20,709
don't try to do 2 different things in

1509
00:57:20,709 --> 00:57:23,014
the same state. Rule, number number 2.

1510
00:57:23,889 --> 00:57:25,161
Don't over overpass.

1511
00:57:25,893 --> 00:57:28,288
You really don't need to have any more

1512
00:57:28,288 --> 00:57:30,942
than say a 3 day supply of food

1513
00:57:31,161 --> 00:57:33,475
or closed. You can do laundry on the

1514
00:57:33,475 --> 00:57:36,766
road, and you can buy food locally where

1515
00:57:36,766 --> 00:57:37,645
it's the freshest.

1516
00:57:38,604 --> 00:57:40,921
Rule number 3, everything has a place and

1517
00:57:40,921 --> 00:57:42,120
our place for everything.

1518
00:57:42,932 --> 00:57:46,034
Agree beforehand, where you're gonna store things. When

1519
00:57:46,034 --> 00:57:46,590
done using,

1520
00:57:47,227 --> 00:57:49,295
return them to that place and nowhere else.

1521
00:57:49,629 --> 00:57:52,104
Rule number 4. If you travel with pets,

1522
00:57:52,663 --> 00:57:54,498
assign them a space too.

1523
00:57:55,137 --> 00:57:57,612
Dogs and cats love to know where they're

1524
00:57:57,612 --> 00:57:58,330
supposed to be.

1525
00:57:59,142 --> 00:58:01,132
Assigned them their spot in the motor home

1526
00:58:01,132 --> 00:58:03,200
and train them to sleep there. Cut in

1527
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:05,348
front of the bathroom door where he'll trip

1528
00:58:05,348 --> 00:58:06,462
on them in the middle the night.

1529
00:58:07,178 --> 00:58:09,668
Rule number 5 as much as possible, plan

1530
00:58:09,668 --> 00:58:12,304
ahead those meals. Grill outside, and if you

1531
00:58:12,304 --> 00:58:14,462
dirty dish or glass, clean it. Put it

1532
00:58:14,462 --> 00:58:15,820
away right away after eating.

1533
00:58:16,551 --> 00:58:17,902
Don't over overdrive.

1534
00:58:18,458 --> 00:58:20,920
Going any more than 354

1535
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,302
hundred miles in a day. It's going to

1536
00:58:23,302 --> 00:58:24,097
tire you out.

1537
00:58:24,828 --> 00:58:28,178
Remember your motor homing because it's fun, driving

1538
00:58:28,178 --> 00:58:31,289
too far and too long makes everybody cranky.

1539
00:58:31,608 --> 00:58:35,210
Rule number 7. Stay fit. Extra size. Don't

1540
00:58:35,210 --> 00:58:37,675
pack on those extra pounds. Take long walks,

1541
00:58:37,994 --> 00:58:38,550
bring a bike,

1542
00:58:39,346 --> 00:58:40,858
find and does it health clubs a long

1543
00:58:40,858 --> 00:58:43,587
way? Too much sitting, like too much driving

1544
00:58:43,587 --> 00:58:45,425
isn't good for anyone. Rule number 8.

1545
00:58:46,304 --> 00:58:49,741
Explore. Use Google or the Internet or your

1546
00:58:49,901 --> 00:58:51,280
Gps to find

1547
00:58:51,594 --> 00:58:54,231
interesting spots in the towns and the places

1548
00:58:54,231 --> 00:58:55,110
that you're passing.

1549
00:58:55,590 --> 00:58:58,547
Visit a museum, learn the the locations history,

1550
00:58:58,867 --> 00:59:00,625
try to eat at a locally owned restaurant.

1551
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,000
To the fast food places.

1552
00:59:02,639 --> 00:59:04,960
Don't be in such a hurry all the

1553
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:08,099
time. Rule number 9. Be careful buying souvenirs.

1554
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:10,493
Your motor home only has so much space.

1555
00:59:10,812 --> 00:59:12,885
Chip, the must have things home instead of

1556
00:59:12,885 --> 00:59:15,995
jamming every available storage spot with things that

1557
00:59:15,995 --> 00:59:17,750
aren't essential for being on the road. Rule

1558
00:59:17,750 --> 00:59:18,387
number 10,

1559
00:59:19,025 --> 00:59:20,398
this is the big 1.

1560
00:59:21,117 --> 00:59:21,996
When you're wrong,

1561
00:59:22,795 --> 00:59:25,352
admit it. Conflict is inevitable.

1562
00:59:26,071 --> 00:59:26,311
Jen?

1563
00:59:27,923 --> 00:59:30,395
I'm sorry. I invaded your space back.

1564
00:59:31,033 --> 00:59:33,984
Don't hesitate to forgive. That's okay. You're forgiven.

1565
00:59:34,542 --> 00:59:36,456
Well, we hope this helps.

1566
00:59:37,029 --> 00:59:39,820
I still think on that video, the line,

1567
00:59:40,538 --> 00:59:42,293
and it's a line that you will be

1568
00:59:42,293 --> 00:59:44,925
forever famous with was... I need a little

1569
00:59:44,925 --> 00:59:46,600
bit of space with you not in it.

1570
00:59:47,253 --> 00:59:48,929
Do you remember that? How can I forget?

1571
00:59:49,646 --> 00:59:51,481
I think everybody can say that. I need

1572
00:59:51,481 --> 00:59:53,396
a little bit of space with you not

1573
00:59:53,396 --> 00:59:53,635
in it.

1574
00:59:54,369 --> 00:59:56,207
I don't know how I thought rather said

1575
00:59:56,207 --> 00:59:57,805
that. I think I was first laughed.

1576
00:59:58,524 --> 01:00:00,522
Well, I think I thought you were joking,

1577
01:00:00,602 --> 01:00:01,880
and then I thought about it, and then

1578
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:02,360
I was like.

1579
01:00:03,328 --> 01:00:04,994
I need a little bit of space but

1580
01:00:04,994 --> 01:00:05,709
you're not in it.

1581
01:00:06,423 --> 01:00:08,963
That's harsh. And then I'm place. That is

1582
01:00:08,963 --> 01:00:09,780
really creative.

1583
01:00:10,629 --> 01:00:11,129
So

1584
01:00:11,517 --> 01:00:13,186
I think I put it on Facebook at

1585
01:00:13,186 --> 01:00:15,172
the time. Jennifer just said she to some

1586
01:00:15,172 --> 01:00:17,080
space with me not in it. Yeah. And

1587
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:18,908
then he got all the sympathy from people

1588
01:00:18,908 --> 01:00:20,672
for having to live with me. There you

1589
01:00:20,672 --> 01:00:22,904
go. Yeah. Couple new guys said, yeah. I

1590
01:00:22,904 --> 01:00:25,693
know that for man. Yeah. I'm I'm so

1591
01:00:25,693 --> 01:00:26,570
abuse so you think?

1592
01:00:27,526 --> 01:00:27,686
Anyway,

1593
01:00:28,336 --> 01:00:29,842
I'll give you credit as a line.

1594
01:00:31,031 --> 01:00:33,646
They're getting out there. Male or female. There

1595
01:00:33,646 --> 01:00:35,231
are times you need space.

1596
01:00:36,683 --> 01:00:38,921
Without somebody else, even somebody who you love

1597
01:00:38,921 --> 01:00:40,519
dearly in that space. Yeah.

1598
01:00:41,478 --> 01:00:41,638
Okay.

1599
01:00:42,358 --> 01:00:43,956
You're gonna get all the sympathy votes this

1600
01:00:43,956 --> 01:00:44,915
time, so that's gonna.

1601
01:00:45,567 --> 01:00:47,478
