RV Tips for Long Trips

1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,379
Hello, everybody, and welcome to RV podcast episode

2
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:04,179
510.

3
00:00:06,399 --> 00:00:09,539
This one, being released on August 14th

4
00:00:10,064 --> 00:00:12,945
2024. I'm Mike Wendland and this is my

5
00:00:12,945 --> 00:00:15,125
lifelong traveling companion and my bride,

6
00:00:15,584 --> 00:00:19,160
Jennifer. Hello, bride Jennifer. Hello, husband Mike and

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,800
hello dog Beau. Beau is with us here

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:22,699
in the RV.

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,880
We are actually, as we record this, on

10
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,380
Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia,

11
00:00:29,035 --> 00:00:30,094
and we would be

12
00:00:30,475 --> 00:00:33,295
outside. However, it is extremely

13
00:00:33,674 --> 00:00:34,795
windy. It is,

14
00:00:35,515 --> 00:00:38,420
one of those wind advisory days of 40

15
00:00:38,420 --> 00:00:39,799
mile an hour winds,

16
00:00:40,260 --> 00:00:43,060
and this is the remnant of, that hurricane

17
00:00:43,060 --> 00:00:43,940
that swept through,

18
00:00:44,579 --> 00:00:45,079
the

19
00:00:45,484 --> 00:00:47,085
gulf up the Gulf Coast and then the

20
00:00:47,085 --> 00:00:50,324
eastern seaboard, this past week. So, we had

21
00:00:50,324 --> 00:00:51,965
a little bit of rain, but a lot

22
00:00:51,965 --> 00:00:54,719
of wind today. So we're inside. Otherwise, you'd

23
00:00:54,719 --> 00:00:56,739
hear nothing but wind noise. And,

24
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,920
it's it's, it's nice if you hide behind

25
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:00,799
RVs, but,

26
00:01:01,439 --> 00:01:02,179
that's what

27
00:01:02,734 --> 00:01:04,655
that's what we have done. We are making

28
00:01:04,655 --> 00:01:07,234
a great windshield for our neighbors. We are.

29
00:01:07,694 --> 00:01:08,194
So,

30
00:01:08,974 --> 00:01:11,135
this episode, we are going to offer up

31
00:01:11,135 --> 00:01:13,250
a bunch of tips from Jen and me

32
00:01:13,250 --> 00:01:15,250
and then from a bunch of other RVers

33
00:01:15,250 --> 00:01:17,590
that we, are with this on this fantasy

34
00:01:17,730 --> 00:01:20,230
RV tour of the Canadian Maritimes

35
00:01:20,834 --> 00:01:21,334
about,

36
00:01:21,954 --> 00:01:24,834
long distance RV travel. Not necessarily on an

37
00:01:24,834 --> 00:01:27,715
organized tour like this, but for a long

38
00:01:27,715 --> 00:01:29,370
distance trip where you are going to be

39
00:01:29,370 --> 00:01:31,150
gone for multiple weeks.

40
00:01:31,689 --> 00:01:33,770
Some tips and actually some of these tips

41
00:01:33,770 --> 00:01:35,290
apply no matter how long you are in

42
00:01:35,290 --> 00:01:38,004
the camp. But some handy tips that I

43
00:01:38,004 --> 00:01:38,504
think,

44
00:01:39,045 --> 00:01:40,724
you'll all pick up a couple of them

45
00:01:40,724 --> 00:01:42,564
even if you're experienced. And if you're a

46
00:01:42,564 --> 00:01:44,950
newbie, you'll get lots of ideas, and that's

47
00:01:44,950 --> 00:01:46,709
coming up in a little bit. We have

48
00:01:46,709 --> 00:01:48,010
the social media buzz

49
00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:48,790
and,

50
00:01:49,270 --> 00:01:52,995
then, we've got an extended version of, RV

51
00:01:52,995 --> 00:01:54,555
Questions that we'll get to at the end

52
00:01:54,555 --> 00:01:55,174
of it.

53
00:01:55,475 --> 00:01:57,415
So that's what's coming up in this episode.

54
00:01:58,250 --> 00:02:00,750
How's our trip been? Our trip has been

55
00:02:00,810 --> 00:02:03,930
wonderful. It's starting to wind down now, and,

56
00:02:04,250 --> 00:02:07,024
27 day trip in 1 week. Nicely. It'll

57
00:02:07,024 --> 00:02:08,884
be over. Actually, we're done Saturday.

58
00:02:09,185 --> 00:02:10,405
Can you believe Saturday,

59
00:02:11,185 --> 00:02:13,525
as this is being released on August 14th?

60
00:02:13,664 --> 00:02:15,764
On August 17th, the trip ends,

61
00:02:16,509 --> 00:02:18,770
and we'll be up in Prince Edward Island,

62
00:02:18,909 --> 00:02:20,830
Nova Scotia, and we'll then have to make

63
00:02:20,830 --> 00:02:21,650
our way back,

64
00:02:22,590 --> 00:02:24,370
to our home in Southwest Michigan,

65
00:02:24,909 --> 00:02:27,125
or maybe not. Maybe we'll just stay up

66
00:02:27,125 --> 00:02:27,625
here.

67
00:02:28,085 --> 00:02:29,925
We've had just a great time in the

68
00:02:29,925 --> 00:02:32,104
Canadian Maritimes. They are indeed,

69
00:02:32,564 --> 00:02:33,449
a bucket list.

70
00:02:34,009 --> 00:02:36,110
And hats off to our friends at Fantasy

71
00:02:36,169 --> 00:02:39,129
RV Tours for, organizing this. Most of these

72
00:02:39,129 --> 00:02:41,610
are RV lifestyle friends and followers that we're

73
00:02:41,610 --> 00:02:42,354
traveling with.

74
00:02:43,634 --> 00:02:45,314
It's been a it's been a great experience,

75
00:02:45,314 --> 00:02:47,655
isn't it? It has been a super experience.

76
00:02:48,435 --> 00:02:50,594
These folks are so nice, and I wonder

77
00:02:50,594 --> 00:02:51,735
if it's because they're

78
00:02:52,169 --> 00:02:54,729
people that follow us that they're so extra

79
00:02:54,729 --> 00:02:56,810
nice or what it is. But,

80
00:02:58,009 --> 00:03:00,409
this is, like, encouraging to travel this way

81
00:03:00,409 --> 00:03:02,224
because you're with people. You come back to

82
00:03:02,224 --> 00:03:04,405
the same base. You go to have adventures

83
00:03:04,465 --> 00:03:04,965
together,

84
00:03:05,425 --> 00:03:08,064
and you become good friends. Yes. It's amazing

85
00:03:08,064 --> 00:03:08,384
how,

86
00:03:08,990 --> 00:03:10,750
in just a short period of time like

87
00:03:10,750 --> 00:03:12,990
this, you do become friends, and we have

88
00:03:12,990 --> 00:03:13,490
indeed.

89
00:03:13,870 --> 00:03:15,889
It's time to check-in with Wendy Boyer.

90
00:03:16,544 --> 00:03:17,284
And Wendy

91
00:03:17,665 --> 00:03:20,705
always has some good information to share as

92
00:03:20,705 --> 00:03:21,605
she monitors

93
00:03:22,064 --> 00:03:23,125
our social media

94
00:03:23,709 --> 00:03:26,590
folks, and, you're gonna learn something. On the

95
00:03:26,590 --> 00:03:28,930
RV social media buzz.

96
00:03:29,469 --> 00:03:30,209
Hi, everybody.

97
00:03:30,555 --> 00:03:32,655
Over in our rv lifestyle communities

98
00:03:33,115 --> 00:03:35,514
general discussion space, we recently had a post

99
00:03:35,514 --> 00:03:39,010
from Kathy. Now Kathy's camping in Oregon, and

100
00:03:39,010 --> 00:03:41,830
she's having this problem she's never had before,

101
00:03:41,889 --> 00:03:44,689
and it's of these bugs creeping into her

102
00:03:44,689 --> 00:03:45,189
RV,

103
00:03:45,564 --> 00:03:48,044
Dozens and dozens and dozens of them. She

104
00:03:48,044 --> 00:03:49,805
said they're elm seed bugs, and she doesn't

105
00:03:49,805 --> 00:03:51,405
know if they're trying to escape the heat

106
00:03:51,405 --> 00:03:53,485
or if it's the smoke from the fires

107
00:03:53,485 --> 00:03:55,169
that are in that area, but they keep

108
00:03:55,169 --> 00:03:56,789
trying to get into her rig

109
00:03:57,169 --> 00:03:59,330
by the dozens and dozens and dozens. So

110
00:03:59,330 --> 00:04:01,090
she'll vacuum them up and they're right there

111
00:04:01,090 --> 00:04:03,405
again. They're crawling on her while she sleeps.

112
00:04:03,784 --> 00:04:05,865
She says she's starting to affect her mental

113
00:04:05,865 --> 00:04:07,865
and physical health and asked if anyone had

114
00:04:07,865 --> 00:04:09,564
any ideas that would help.

115
00:04:10,010 --> 00:04:12,409
Lots of people responded, but 2 responses that

116
00:04:12,409 --> 00:04:14,590
really caught my eye, one was from Chris.

117
00:04:14,810 --> 00:04:15,629
He suggested

118
00:04:16,250 --> 00:04:17,470
that she buy a fumigator.

119
00:04:17,995 --> 00:04:19,435
He said this puts a smoke in the

120
00:04:19,435 --> 00:04:21,355
air, so none of that sticky residue that

121
00:04:21,355 --> 00:04:23,295
a fogger does, and it kills the bug.

122
00:04:23,675 --> 00:04:25,834
He said that he's had different insect issues

123
00:04:25,834 --> 00:04:27,729
in the south, and so he will set

124
00:04:27,729 --> 00:04:29,569
the fumigator, leave for a few hours with

125
00:04:29,569 --> 00:04:31,729
his pets, come back, air the whole rig

126
00:04:31,729 --> 00:04:34,370
out really good, the bug's gone, and there's

127
00:04:34,370 --> 00:04:36,824
been no issues, you know, health issues for

128
00:04:36,824 --> 00:04:38,845
himself or his pets, and it's worked great.

129
00:04:39,545 --> 00:04:41,464
Another one was from Doug. Doug lives in

130
00:04:41,464 --> 00:04:43,704
Oregon dealing with the same bug getting into

131
00:04:43,704 --> 00:04:45,660
his house, and he said one thing that

132
00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:47,339
helped him was to put sticky tape all

133
00:04:47,339 --> 00:04:48,240
around the windows,

134
00:04:48,860 --> 00:04:50,939
and that's helped, keep them out. So a

135
00:04:50,939 --> 00:04:52,779
couple ideas there for Kathy, and Kathy, I

136
00:04:52,779 --> 00:04:54,035
hope you got some help with that.

137
00:04:54,754 --> 00:04:55,894
Also in our community,

138
00:04:56,194 --> 00:04:58,834
in the RV apps and tools place, we

139
00:04:58,834 --> 00:05:01,475
had a question from Jojo. Now Jojo's a

140
00:05:01,475 --> 00:05:03,740
new RVer, just got a class

141
00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:05,899
a, planning to go full time,

142
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:07,720
and so she asked the group, what is

143
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,500
the one app that you would recommend?

144
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,014
And a couple people like Brenda and, Mark

145
00:05:13,014 --> 00:05:15,014
said, you know, we don't use just one

146
00:05:15,014 --> 00:05:16,394
app. We use a couple,

147
00:05:16,854 --> 00:05:18,294
and some of the apps that came up

148
00:05:18,294 --> 00:05:20,214
quite a bit in this thread were RV

149
00:05:20,214 --> 00:05:21,279
Life Pro,

150
00:05:21,580 --> 00:05:22,560
Adventure Genie,

151
00:05:23,180 --> 00:05:24,080
RV Parkie,

152
00:05:24,860 --> 00:05:27,819
Spot Tonight, and I Overlander. So if you're

153
00:05:27,819 --> 00:05:29,420
looking for some good apps, you might wanna

154
00:05:29,420 --> 00:05:30,495
check out that space.

155
00:05:31,055 --> 00:05:32,834
And then over in our RV lifestyle

156
00:05:33,375 --> 00:05:35,454
Facebook group, we had a recent post from

157
00:05:35,454 --> 00:05:38,175
Glenise. Now Glenise and her husband have a

158
00:05:38,175 --> 00:05:39,875
7 year old golden retriever,

159
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,720
and they love to bring their dog with

160
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,800
them when they go on trips and travel,

161
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,560
but she said they were getting really frustrated

162
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,134
with the pet policies of places like Airbnb.

163
00:05:49,675 --> 00:05:52,074
So they were considering getting a travel trailer

164
00:05:52,074 --> 00:05:54,314
so they could still travel but include their

165
00:05:54,314 --> 00:05:56,379
dog. And so she sent this post in

166
00:05:56,379 --> 00:05:58,459
the group saying, has anyone else done this?

167
00:05:58,459 --> 00:06:00,540
What do you think? And as you can

168
00:06:00,540 --> 00:06:02,540
imagine, the majority of the group, and we're

169
00:06:02,540 --> 00:06:03,919
talking something like 460

170
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:04,764
responses

171
00:06:05,165 --> 00:06:07,405
last I looked, said, this is great. Bring

172
00:06:07,405 --> 00:06:10,205
your dog. You won't regret it. RVing and

173
00:06:10,205 --> 00:06:12,225
camping with your pets goes hand in hand.

174
00:06:12,910 --> 00:06:14,830
Many people, in fact, like Lisa said, that's

175
00:06:14,830 --> 00:06:16,430
the whole reason they got an RV was

176
00:06:16,430 --> 00:06:18,270
so they could include their dog with them

177
00:06:18,270 --> 00:06:19,330
in the RV lifestyle.

178
00:06:19,654 --> 00:06:21,175
And she said they were recently at a

179
00:06:21,175 --> 00:06:23,735
campground, and every single camper had their dog

180
00:06:23,735 --> 00:06:24,395
with them.

181
00:06:24,935 --> 00:06:26,935
So that was fun to read. Now some

182
00:06:26,935 --> 00:06:28,970
people did say, you know, there are campgrounds

183
00:06:28,970 --> 00:06:31,209
that are more dog friendly than than others,

184
00:06:31,209 --> 00:06:33,370
and there are places you can't bring your

185
00:06:33,370 --> 00:06:35,769
dog, like, you know, let's face it. National

186
00:06:35,769 --> 00:06:37,069
parks aren't always

187
00:06:37,444 --> 00:06:39,524
the most, pet friendly. So there are some

188
00:06:39,524 --> 00:06:42,084
limitations, but by far, the majority said it's

189
00:06:42,084 --> 00:06:43,764
it's works out great. And what I loved

190
00:06:43,764 --> 00:06:46,060
about this post is people got so excited

191
00:06:46,060 --> 00:06:48,540
they started sharing pictures of their dog living

192
00:06:48,540 --> 00:06:50,939
the RV lifestyle. So we had dogs, you

193
00:06:50,939 --> 00:06:52,379
know, going out for a walk in the

194
00:06:52,379 --> 00:06:52,879
campground,

195
00:06:53,404 --> 00:06:55,805
hanging out in their RV, sitting outside the

196
00:06:55,805 --> 00:06:57,805
rig by the picnic table. It was just

197
00:06:57,805 --> 00:06:59,404
really fun to read, so if you are

198
00:06:59,404 --> 00:07:01,160
a pet lover, check that one out.

199
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,480
And that's it for me this week. I'm

200
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,800
Wendy Boyer, and I'll see you on the

201
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,459
RV lifestyle community or Facebook group.

202
00:07:08,935 --> 00:07:10,774
Alright, Wendy. Thanks a lot, and we wanna

203
00:07:10,774 --> 00:07:12,774
invite everybody, if you haven't already, to please

204
00:07:12,774 --> 00:07:15,435
think about joining our RV lifestyle community.

205
00:07:15,735 --> 00:07:17,800
Obviously, we have a very big Facebook group,

206
00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:19,899
430 +1000

207
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,240
members there. It can get pretty noisy. Things

208
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,039
can get, out of control sometimes with that

209
00:07:26,039 --> 00:07:28,964
many people, and that's why we started the,

210
00:07:29,285 --> 00:07:32,004
RV lifestyle community. And you find that. You

211
00:07:32,004 --> 00:07:34,504
can join. It's absolutely free. Communitydot

212
00:07:35,410 --> 00:07:35,910
rvlifestyle.com.

213
00:07:37,410 --> 00:07:39,750
It's a safe place. It's a friendly place.

214
00:07:40,050 --> 00:07:42,529
Don't be embarrassed about asking questions. You'll get

215
00:07:42,529 --> 00:07:45,204
friendly people who will really help you. Easy

216
00:07:45,204 --> 00:07:46,084
to find stuff.

217
00:07:46,644 --> 00:07:48,404
Please think about joining that if you haven't

218
00:07:48,404 --> 00:07:48,904
already.

219
00:07:49,764 --> 00:07:52,264
Alright. Time now for our RV conversation

220
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:53,580
of

221
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,400
the week. And this week,

222
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,080
we're gonna talk about some tips for long

223
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,300
distance travel.

224
00:08:00,964 --> 00:08:02,485
And long distance travel is a little different

225
00:08:02,485 --> 00:08:04,485
than just a weekend or maybe a a

226
00:08:04,485 --> 00:08:07,045
brief holiday trip. You gotta think a little

227
00:08:07,045 --> 00:08:08,185
bit further in advance.

228
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,879
So whatever you can figure out ahead of

229
00:08:10,879 --> 00:08:12,660
time, like care of your

230
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,935
engine on your truck or your car or

231
00:08:16,095 --> 00:08:18,495
whatever you're towing with, your motor home, whatever

232
00:08:18,495 --> 00:08:20,495
you can do ahead of time will prevent

233
00:08:20,495 --> 00:08:22,654
any grief down the road. So get your

234
00:08:22,654 --> 00:08:23,475
oil changed.

235
00:08:24,079 --> 00:08:26,000
If you have a diesel, top it off

236
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:26,899
with DEF.

237
00:08:27,839 --> 00:08:30,019
Make sure your maintenance is all done.

238
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:32,179
Check your tires.

239
00:08:32,945 --> 00:08:35,504
Check the torque on your your tires on

240
00:08:35,504 --> 00:08:37,504
both the RV or a towable that you

241
00:08:37,504 --> 00:08:38,004
have.

242
00:08:38,784 --> 00:08:42,245
We recommend using a tire pressure monitoring system.

243
00:08:43,329 --> 00:08:46,209
Look over everything, particularly your towers your tires

244
00:08:46,209 --> 00:08:47,649
at the start of the trip, and then

245
00:08:47,649 --> 00:08:49,735
every day that you're on the road, check

246
00:08:49,735 --> 00:08:52,695
it out as well. And know your RV's

247
00:08:52,695 --> 00:08:53,195
maximum

248
00:08:53,894 --> 00:08:57,274
occupant and cargo carrying capacity. That's the OCCC.

249
00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:59,679
Or how,

250
00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:02,899
much food you can bring, clothing, lawn chairs,

251
00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:05,679
ground mats, camping gear, and How much you

252
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,700
weigh, your pets weigh,

253
00:09:09,675 --> 00:09:11,915
how much propane. People forget about that. How

254
00:09:11,915 --> 00:09:13,215
much propane weighs.

255
00:09:14,715 --> 00:09:15,774
And, you know,

256
00:09:16,429 --> 00:09:18,610
you forget how much water

257
00:09:19,230 --> 00:09:21,250
adds to it. And for that reason,

258
00:09:22,029 --> 00:09:23,809
we don't recommend that you

259
00:09:24,664 --> 00:09:27,625
fill your freshwater tank unless you know you're

260
00:09:27,625 --> 00:09:28,845
going to be just boondocking,

261
00:09:30,024 --> 00:09:32,105
and you can't get water wherever you're gonna

262
00:09:32,105 --> 00:09:32,605
boondock.

263
00:09:33,169 --> 00:09:35,090
We don't recommend going with a a full

264
00:09:35,090 --> 00:09:37,509
tank. And that's because water weighs £8.2

265
00:09:38,850 --> 00:09:39,590
per gallon.

266
00:09:40,370 --> 00:09:40,769
And,

267
00:09:41,764 --> 00:09:43,845
when you think about it, most class b's

268
00:09:43,845 --> 00:09:46,004
have, you know, class b, class c from

269
00:09:46,004 --> 00:09:47,465
20 to 40 gallons.

270
00:09:48,245 --> 00:09:48,644
So,

271
00:09:49,205 --> 00:09:50,345
that's, like, a 164

272
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:52,139
to 328

273
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,179
gallons or or, pounds.

274
00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:55,799
6

275
00:09:56,519 --> 00:09:57,579
164 to £328.

276
00:09:58,544 --> 00:09:59,605
That's a lot of weight.

277
00:10:00,065 --> 00:10:01,904
And if you have a class a or

278
00:10:01,904 --> 00:10:03,205
a big 5th wheel,

279
00:10:03,665 --> 00:10:07,424
those are 75 to a 100 gallons, and

280
00:10:07,424 --> 00:10:09,970
a full tank on those of water can

281
00:10:09,970 --> 00:10:11,990
weigh 6 15 to 8 20

282
00:10:13,809 --> 00:10:14,389
pounds. So,

283
00:10:14,850 --> 00:10:16,450
taking fresh water with you,

284
00:10:16,769 --> 00:10:18,865
is is not a good idea. Maybe enough

285
00:10:18,865 --> 00:10:20,865
just to flush toilets and wash your hands

286
00:10:20,865 --> 00:10:23,105
and stuff on the road, but if you're

287
00:10:23,105 --> 00:10:25,284
at a campground where you can get water,

288
00:10:26,409 --> 00:10:29,450
use use your city water and don't travel

289
00:10:29,450 --> 00:10:31,370
with a full freshwater tank. How many times

290
00:10:31,370 --> 00:10:32,190
have we seen

291
00:10:32,544 --> 00:10:35,424
freshwater tanks that have broken off? Well, it

292
00:10:35,424 --> 00:10:37,184
does happen, and you don't want it to

293
00:10:37,184 --> 00:10:38,945
happen to you because you know how bumpy

294
00:10:38,945 --> 00:10:41,379
and dreadful some of those roads can be.

295
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:45,000
So be aware of what everything wear weighs

296
00:10:45,220 --> 00:10:47,139
because it adds up faster than you think.

297
00:10:47,139 --> 00:10:48,899
Otherwise, you're not gonna be able to eat

298
00:10:48,899 --> 00:10:50,764
because you can't add any more weight. Not

299
00:10:50,764 --> 00:10:50,924
to

300
00:10:53,245 --> 00:10:56,044
we recommend, by the way, not driving all

301
00:10:56,044 --> 00:10:58,285
day. Don't do record trips. Lots of people

302
00:10:58,285 --> 00:10:59,024
have different

303
00:10:59,629 --> 00:11:01,629
ideas of how far you should drive. Our

304
00:11:01,629 --> 00:11:04,110
personal rule is, we want to be in

305
00:11:04,110 --> 00:11:06,190
place by 3:30 in the afternoon, if at

306
00:11:06,190 --> 00:11:06,929
all possible.

307
00:11:07,245 --> 00:11:09,004
And we don't wanna drive any more than

308
00:11:09,004 --> 00:11:11,565
330 miles. Now, do we keep that all

309
00:11:11,565 --> 00:11:13,884
the time? No. Do we do a much

310
00:11:13,884 --> 00:11:15,500
better job than we did before?

311
00:11:16,059 --> 00:11:18,700
Yes. And something you might not think about.

312
00:11:18,700 --> 00:11:20,539
Don't be one of those people that likes

313
00:11:20,539 --> 00:11:22,639
to see how far you can drive before

314
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:24,000
you have to get gas.

315
00:11:24,524 --> 00:11:27,024
Try to drive on that top half.

316
00:11:27,485 --> 00:11:29,424
And don't get yourself in a situation

317
00:11:30,365 --> 00:11:31,884
where you're, oh, boy. What do I do

318
00:11:31,884 --> 00:11:34,509
now? And that's easy to have happen particularly

319
00:11:34,509 --> 00:11:36,110
out west, but in other parts of the

320
00:11:36,110 --> 00:11:39,009
country as well, especially if you have diesel.

321
00:11:39,309 --> 00:11:41,149
Drive on the top half of your gas.

322
00:11:41,149 --> 00:11:42,830
We can get to the half of half

323
00:11:42,830 --> 00:11:43,490
of tank.

324
00:11:43,825 --> 00:11:45,285
Go gas. Again. Yeah.

325
00:11:46,625 --> 00:11:47,845
Other things, you know,

326
00:11:48,544 --> 00:11:51,720
these are kind of rookie information, but, we

327
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,559
see this all the time, and it gives

328
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,240
RVers a bad rep. Don't hog the passing

329
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:57,740
lane.

330
00:11:58,415 --> 00:12:01,134
Now, I will say there are times when

331
00:12:01,134 --> 00:12:03,675
you don't have a big choice. Sometimes, you

332
00:12:03,855 --> 00:12:05,634
know, on a 2 lane road,

333
00:12:06,610 --> 00:12:09,330
the right hand lane is so beat up

334
00:12:09,330 --> 00:12:10,629
and filled with potholes,

335
00:12:11,250 --> 00:12:13,590
and the passing lane is not as bad.

336
00:12:14,595 --> 00:12:15,495
That's understandable,

337
00:12:16,355 --> 00:12:18,595
but you're gonna still get people mad as

338
00:12:18,595 --> 00:12:20,294
they pile up behind you.

339
00:12:21,154 --> 00:12:21,654
And

340
00:12:22,019 --> 00:12:24,580
don't forget to check the local news and

341
00:12:24,580 --> 00:12:25,779
the weather and,

342
00:12:26,660 --> 00:12:29,639
road conditions. You need an app, something like

343
00:12:29,914 --> 00:12:32,154
waves or something to help you so that

344
00:12:32,154 --> 00:12:34,394
you don't find yourself in a situation that

345
00:12:34,394 --> 00:12:35,754
you don't need to be in? All the

346
00:12:35,754 --> 00:12:37,375
apps, Google Google Maps,

347
00:12:37,995 --> 00:12:38,894
Apple Maps,

348
00:12:39,419 --> 00:12:39,919
Waze,

349
00:12:40,460 --> 00:12:42,299
do a pretty good job of alerting you

350
00:12:42,299 --> 00:12:43,919
to hazards along the way.

351
00:12:44,539 --> 00:12:45,955
We prefer Waze.

352
00:12:46,514 --> 00:12:47,875
One of the things we like about WEEs

353
00:12:47,875 --> 00:12:49,254
in Canada is it

354
00:12:50,115 --> 00:12:51,795
will flag you, it will show you your

355
00:12:51,795 --> 00:12:54,355
speed limit in miles per hour rather than

356
00:12:54,355 --> 00:12:55,570
kilometers. And

357
00:12:55,950 --> 00:12:57,230
then you have to do a little math

358
00:12:57,230 --> 00:12:59,309
so you can figure it out because they

359
00:12:59,309 --> 00:13:00,049
are different.

360
00:13:00,429 --> 00:13:03,054
But it helps with ways, and then if

361
00:13:03,054 --> 00:13:04,654
you go over the speed limit, it kinda

362
00:13:04,654 --> 00:13:05,154
flashes

363
00:13:05,535 --> 00:13:07,855
red, and you know that you're violating it.

364
00:13:07,855 --> 00:13:09,934
But Waze is kind of our go to

365
00:13:09,934 --> 00:13:11,695
app out there. Now I bet all of

366
00:13:11,695 --> 00:13:14,039
you have an emergency road kit,

367
00:13:14,419 --> 00:13:14,919
but

368
00:13:15,299 --> 00:13:16,899
are there more things that you could add

369
00:13:16,899 --> 00:13:18,740
to that kit that would help make you

370
00:13:18,740 --> 00:13:20,120
safer in case,

371
00:13:20,855 --> 00:13:23,654
something happened. Like yeah. You have flares and

372
00:13:23,654 --> 00:13:26,955
flashlights and overalls and gloves and rain gear

373
00:13:27,495 --> 00:13:29,735
and tools. But have you thought about a

374
00:13:29,735 --> 00:13:30,235
reflective

375
00:13:30,699 --> 00:13:31,839
vest or jacket?

376
00:13:32,220 --> 00:13:34,799
Something that will help people see you.

377
00:13:35,419 --> 00:13:36,480
And speaking of

378
00:13:36,940 --> 00:13:37,919
potential problems,

379
00:13:38,495 --> 00:13:41,154
make sure that you have your road service

380
00:13:41,615 --> 00:13:42,754
and your insurance

381
00:13:43,054 --> 00:13:46,194
phone numbers and policy numbers, all that

382
00:13:46,574 --> 00:13:47,554
on your phone,

383
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:49,480
in your wallet,

384
00:13:49,860 --> 00:13:51,800
in the dashboard of your vehicle,

385
00:13:52,340 --> 00:13:54,740
always carry that with you. Now there are

386
00:13:54,740 --> 00:13:57,215
lots of tips about packing that we can

387
00:13:57,215 --> 00:13:58,835
pass along, but in general

388
00:13:59,455 --> 00:14:01,855
Okay. In general, try not to take too

389
00:14:01,855 --> 00:14:02,754
many clothes.

390
00:14:03,610 --> 00:14:05,289
It's harder now that we have a big

391
00:14:05,289 --> 00:14:07,210
rig because there's more space. And you think,

392
00:14:07,210 --> 00:14:08,649
well, maybe I could use that. Maybe I

393
00:14:08,649 --> 00:14:10,490
could use this. It's easier when you have

394
00:14:10,490 --> 00:14:12,750
very little space because then you really gotta

395
00:14:13,024 --> 00:14:13,764
boil it

396
00:14:14,225 --> 00:14:17,264
down. But, think about what you're taking. What

397
00:14:17,264 --> 00:14:19,444
do you really need to take?

398
00:14:19,904 --> 00:14:20,225
And,

399
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,720
try to bring clothes that don't need to

400
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,379
be ironed.

401
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,039
I brought along this trip a steamer that

402
00:14:27,039 --> 00:14:29,075
I have so that I can and close-up

403
00:14:29,075 --> 00:14:30,355
a bit. Because some of the things that

404
00:14:30,355 --> 00:14:31,095
are cotton,

405
00:14:31,475 --> 00:14:32,695
they have to be ironed.

406
00:14:33,315 --> 00:14:35,794
And, we've got a couple favorite things. I

407
00:14:35,794 --> 00:14:37,315
keep trying to tell him, don't wear that

408
00:14:37,315 --> 00:14:37,815
shirt.

409
00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:40,919
But he does because he loves it. But,

410
00:14:41,860 --> 00:14:43,779
think about your appearance. How can you make

411
00:14:43,779 --> 00:14:45,159
it as simple as possible?

412
00:14:45,554 --> 00:14:48,034
Now we have been really lucky because, this

413
00:14:48,034 --> 00:14:49,654
is the 1st trip we've traveled,

414
00:14:50,514 --> 00:14:52,514
with our own washer dryer. We put a

415
00:14:52,514 --> 00:14:54,855
washer dryer in, earlier this spring.

416
00:14:55,709 --> 00:14:56,449
Oh, my.

417
00:14:56,829 --> 00:14:58,350
That is a game change. In fact, we're

418
00:14:58,350 --> 00:15:00,429
doing washer dry we're not doing it right

419
00:15:00,429 --> 00:15:01,169
now. Now

420
00:15:01,629 --> 00:15:02,370
that means,

421
00:15:03,014 --> 00:15:05,014
now and we're hooked up to 30 amp

422
00:15:05,014 --> 00:15:06,695
instead of 50, which we normally are in

423
00:15:06,695 --> 00:15:08,934
this big 5th wheel, but the dryer works

424
00:15:08,934 --> 00:15:10,934
fine on 30 amps. We've been using it

425
00:15:10,934 --> 00:15:11,995
all across Canada.

426
00:15:13,070 --> 00:15:16,290
It's a combo washer dryer. It's vented outside,

427
00:15:16,990 --> 00:15:19,230
but we do usually 1 or 2 loads

428
00:15:19,230 --> 00:15:19,970
every day.

429
00:15:20,350 --> 00:15:20,670
And,

430
00:15:21,404 --> 00:15:23,325
it's been it's been really great, hasn't it?

431
00:15:23,325 --> 00:15:24,605
Yes. It would be better to have a

432
00:15:24,605 --> 00:15:26,684
queen-size bed than a king, but we have

433
00:15:26,684 --> 00:15:27,264
a king.

434
00:15:27,725 --> 00:15:30,205
So if you like your sheets perfect, not

435
00:15:30,205 --> 00:15:32,373
wrinkled at all, you'll have to Good luck.

436
00:15:32,506 --> 00:15:34,399
To, go to a hotel. Get some wrinkles

437
00:15:34,399 --> 00:15:35,060
or else,

438
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,420
press them to get those wrinkles out.

439
00:15:38,764 --> 00:15:40,684
But what a gift it is. I mean,

440
00:15:40,684 --> 00:15:41,904
it's an expensive

441
00:15:42,285 --> 00:15:42,785
luxury.

442
00:15:43,404 --> 00:15:46,230
Bring, if you're doing laundry in campgrounds, bring

443
00:15:46,230 --> 00:15:47,829
your own and even if it's your own,

444
00:15:47,829 --> 00:15:50,009
obviously, bring your own laundry soap and detergent.

445
00:15:50,870 --> 00:15:52,949
And at the campground, we have seen on

446
00:15:52,949 --> 00:15:54,309
this trip that we're in with a lot

447
00:15:54,309 --> 00:15:56,855
of other people, there's kind of rush hour

448
00:15:57,075 --> 00:15:59,495
at the laundry rooms. I mean, we are

449
00:15:59,954 --> 00:16:00,454
26

450
00:16:00,754 --> 00:16:01,254
rigs,

451
00:16:01,875 --> 00:16:04,670
and we stop, and almost everybody has to

452
00:16:04,670 --> 00:16:07,710
do laundry. And since most of us are

453
00:16:07,710 --> 00:16:09,629
older, we get up early in the morning.

454
00:16:09,629 --> 00:16:12,565
So it's an early morning thing. So it

455
00:16:12,565 --> 00:16:13,065
becomes

456
00:16:13,445 --> 00:16:15,365
a little bit of a test of your

457
00:16:15,365 --> 00:16:15,865
patience.

458
00:16:16,485 --> 00:16:19,179
And there are trips and things scheduled that

459
00:16:19,179 --> 00:16:20,860
you wanna do, so it becomes a little

460
00:16:20,860 --> 00:16:22,559
bit of a challenge getting your,

461
00:16:23,659 --> 00:16:24,799
washing done.

462
00:16:25,254 --> 00:16:26,774
And something else, as soon as you get

463
00:16:26,774 --> 00:16:27,514
to the campground,

464
00:16:28,134 --> 00:16:30,875
find out what hours their machines are available.

465
00:16:30,934 --> 00:16:33,274
They might be 24 hours, which is awesome,

466
00:16:33,649 --> 00:16:36,129
but they might stop at 6 or 7

467
00:16:36,129 --> 00:16:38,289
or 8, and you can't do any laundry

468
00:16:38,289 --> 00:16:40,149
at that time. And, also,

469
00:16:40,529 --> 00:16:42,470
you need probably coins.

470
00:16:43,105 --> 00:16:45,845
And in Canada, that's Canadian coins.

471
00:16:46,464 --> 00:16:49,024
And other places in the States, you know,

472
00:16:49,024 --> 00:16:50,144
our coins are,

473
00:16:50,750 --> 00:16:52,669
I think really now, they want you to

474
00:16:52,669 --> 00:16:53,809
use a credit card,

475
00:16:54,509 --> 00:16:54,750
which,

476
00:16:55,389 --> 00:16:57,549
credit cards and other games Yeah. Work most

477
00:16:57,549 --> 00:16:58,909
of the time. Actually, credit cards out in

478
00:16:58,909 --> 00:17:01,625
Canada work great. That's we haven't we've had

479
00:17:01,625 --> 00:17:03,464
very little need for any Canadian cash up

480
00:17:03,464 --> 00:17:05,304
here because we just use credit cards. Yeah.

481
00:17:05,304 --> 00:17:06,044
It's wonderful.

482
00:17:06,345 --> 00:17:07,430
If you're gonna cook,

483
00:17:08,390 --> 00:17:09,210
in your RV,

484
00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:12,090
cook as much as you can in advance.

485
00:17:13,190 --> 00:17:14,970
True. We met a couple here

486
00:17:15,525 --> 00:17:17,205
last Sunday, and they spent the whole day.

487
00:17:17,205 --> 00:17:18,484
It was a free day. They spent the

488
00:17:18,484 --> 00:17:20,005
whole day cooking, but they were cooking the

489
00:17:20,005 --> 00:17:21,445
meals for each of the days during the

490
00:17:21,445 --> 00:17:22,565
rest of the week. So that the rest

491
00:17:22,565 --> 00:17:24,644
of the trip, they don't have to fuss

492
00:17:24,644 --> 00:17:25,144
over

493
00:17:25,509 --> 00:17:27,109
food, and they're not gonna be like the

494
00:17:27,109 --> 00:17:30,309
Wendland household. Shall we have grilled hamburger, grilled

495
00:17:30,309 --> 00:17:31,450
chicken Or a hotdog.

496
00:17:32,309 --> 00:17:35,025
We'll just keep that going. Eating out is

497
00:17:35,025 --> 00:17:37,345
really costly. And No matter where you are.

498
00:17:37,345 --> 00:17:40,305
It takes time, costs a lot. Yep. And

499
00:17:40,305 --> 00:17:41,924
it's not good for you. And you'll find,

500
00:17:42,225 --> 00:17:42,884
you know,

501
00:17:43,330 --> 00:17:45,490
half the restaurants you pick are not as

502
00:17:45,490 --> 00:17:47,570
good as you had hoped. So it does

503
00:17:47,570 --> 00:17:49,910
so much better than than bringing it all.

504
00:17:51,474 --> 00:17:52,595
A couple of last tips, and then we

505
00:17:52,595 --> 00:17:54,515
wanna hear from we're gonna introduce you to

506
00:17:54,515 --> 00:17:55,954
a whole bunch of folks who will share

507
00:17:55,954 --> 00:17:56,615
their tips.

508
00:17:57,555 --> 00:17:59,089
Travel with a dog or a pet.

509
00:17:59,569 --> 00:18:02,210
Always have their vet records with you, all

510
00:18:02,210 --> 00:18:03,890
of them up to date. In fact, we

511
00:18:03,890 --> 00:18:06,369
make multiple copies. One that we can provide

512
00:18:06,369 --> 00:18:07,490
if we have to give it to a

513
00:18:07,490 --> 00:18:09,355
vet. One we keep in the RV.

514
00:18:09,974 --> 00:18:10,294
And,

515
00:18:11,174 --> 00:18:14,294
always carry Don't leave home without it. Always

516
00:18:14,294 --> 00:18:16,929
carry a poop bag with you. In fact,

517
00:18:16,929 --> 00:18:18,630
I put 1 in each pocket.

518
00:18:19,009 --> 00:18:20,769
It's the first thing I load up every

519
00:18:20,769 --> 00:18:23,250
every morning is, is poop bags. I didn't

520
00:18:23,250 --> 00:18:25,409
realize what a round of laughter was caused

521
00:18:25,409 --> 00:18:27,424
when I said something about bow. I said,

522
00:18:27,424 --> 00:18:29,424
this is a 2 bagger. Everybody's like, oh,

523
00:18:29,424 --> 00:18:32,884
I'm happy they have little dogs. Yep. Yep.

524
00:18:33,184 --> 00:18:33,684
Alright.

525
00:18:33,984 --> 00:18:35,285
One last tip.

526
00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:36,570
Okay.

527
00:18:37,830 --> 00:18:39,369
Let people know where you are.

528
00:18:39,670 --> 00:18:42,650
Schedule time with loved ones, friends,

529
00:18:43,015 --> 00:18:44,695
somebody to let them know where you are

530
00:18:44,695 --> 00:18:46,234
in case you need to be reached.

531
00:18:46,855 --> 00:18:49,015
You might be just fine, but there might

532
00:18:49,015 --> 00:18:50,855
be something else in your life that you

533
00:18:50,855 --> 00:18:53,109
need to be told to be aware of.

534
00:18:53,329 --> 00:18:55,329
And and they should always know where you

535
00:18:55,329 --> 00:18:57,670
are and where you're expected to be next.

536
00:18:58,609 --> 00:19:01,335
That's really a big part. Alright. Those are

537
00:19:01,494 --> 00:19:02,914
our tips. But,

538
00:19:03,414 --> 00:19:05,174
there are so many other things that we

539
00:19:05,174 --> 00:19:07,494
are going to tap into some crowd sourcing

540
00:19:07,494 --> 00:19:07,994
here.

541
00:19:08,534 --> 00:19:09,974
And you'll meet some of the people that

542
00:19:09,974 --> 00:19:12,650
we are traveling with. And, we've asked them

543
00:19:12,650 --> 00:19:15,690
to share their trips about long distance RV

544
00:19:15,690 --> 00:19:16,190
travel.

545
00:19:16,890 --> 00:19:17,210
And,

546
00:19:17,690 --> 00:19:19,744
here they are back to back. On the

547
00:19:19,744 --> 00:19:21,204
road a long time for

548
00:19:21,585 --> 00:19:22,644
dependable Internet,

549
00:19:23,424 --> 00:19:24,164
get Starlink.

550
00:19:24,785 --> 00:19:26,005
Starlink. Starlink.

551
00:19:26,625 --> 00:19:28,384
Check with the local people. You could do

552
00:19:28,384 --> 00:19:30,559
that at a grocery store, you could do

553
00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:31,779
it at a gas station,

554
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,779
you could do it at a laundromat,

555
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,039
but they're gonna give you some hidden gems

556
00:19:37,039 --> 00:19:39,345
that you would normally not go

557
00:19:39,804 --> 00:19:41,804
to. When you're on a long trip, don't

558
00:19:41,804 --> 00:19:43,484
think you have to pack every single thing

559
00:19:43,484 --> 00:19:45,244
you're going to need because you can buy

560
00:19:45,244 --> 00:19:47,565
things along the way. I would say look

561
00:19:47,565 --> 00:19:49,500
ahead and check where you're going to see

562
00:19:49,500 --> 00:19:51,420
if there's any sites to see along the

563
00:19:51,420 --> 00:19:53,980
way because the the traveling is just as

564
00:19:53,980 --> 00:19:55,900
good as the final destination. And you might

565
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:57,680
be surprised what you might see.

566
00:19:58,164 --> 00:20:00,724
So not only look ahead, but, if you're

567
00:20:00,724 --> 00:20:01,384
the passenger,

568
00:20:01,684 --> 00:20:03,605
look for signs. There could be a some

569
00:20:03,684 --> 00:20:05,605
a turn off somewhere that you didn't expect

570
00:20:05,605 --> 00:20:08,320
that you thoroughly enjoy. We like to travel

571
00:20:08,380 --> 00:20:10,539
200 miles and be in the campground by

572
00:20:10,539 --> 00:20:11,279
2 PM.

573
00:20:12,140 --> 00:20:12,640
Why?

574
00:20:13,019 --> 00:20:14,434
So we have time to relax,

575
00:20:16,035 --> 00:20:18,295
explore the area a little bit, and then,

576
00:20:18,914 --> 00:20:20,434
early night and on the road the next

577
00:20:20,434 --> 00:20:22,835
day. So even if there's something that you

578
00:20:22,835 --> 00:20:25,400
must get to, you budget enough time in

579
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,039
advance to get there at 200 miles a

580
00:20:28,039 --> 00:20:28,940
day. Correct.

581
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,859
Even, try to

582
00:20:31,454 --> 00:20:34,115
plan for some of those unexpected things like

583
00:20:34,734 --> 00:20:36,515
traffic or construction

584
00:20:37,454 --> 00:20:39,295
or some something like that that comes up.

585
00:20:39,295 --> 00:20:40,130
Definitely have

586
00:20:40,930 --> 00:20:42,069
an extension cord

587
00:20:42,690 --> 00:20:43,829
and your extra

588
00:20:44,130 --> 00:20:45,430
dog bones. Yeah.

589
00:20:46,130 --> 00:20:47,809
I like to keep them in a bin

590
00:20:47,809 --> 00:20:49,750
that's covered, and I label it.

591
00:20:52,414 --> 00:20:54,015
I also have another one for

592
00:20:54,654 --> 00:20:56,950
that we keep the big power cord in.

593
00:20:57,829 --> 00:20:59,690
It's actually a cat litter box.

594
00:21:00,230 --> 00:21:01,909
A place for everything and a play and

595
00:21:01,909 --> 00:21:04,149
everything a place. Yeah. And then we keep

596
00:21:04,149 --> 00:21:06,744
the big portable post and surge

597
00:21:07,224 --> 00:21:07,724
protector

598
00:21:08,205 --> 00:21:08,705
in

599
00:21:09,184 --> 00:21:09,684
here.

600
00:21:10,164 --> 00:21:11,785
That's what we do with our cable.

601
00:21:12,164 --> 00:21:14,309
So long distance travel tips.

602
00:21:14,789 --> 00:21:16,570
Something will always go wrong.

603
00:21:17,029 --> 00:21:18,549
Something happened to you, and what's the tip

604
00:21:18,549 --> 00:21:20,230
we can learn from it? Well, I think

605
00:21:20,230 --> 00:21:22,549
the the deal is to to really not

606
00:21:22,549 --> 00:21:24,265
panic. Don't get too excited about

607
00:21:25,125 --> 00:21:26,904
it. You can probably fix it yourself.

608
00:21:27,444 --> 00:21:28,345
And if you can't,

609
00:21:28,724 --> 00:21:30,565
you can always get a technician to come

610
00:21:30,565 --> 00:21:32,970
out and help you. But everything seems to

611
00:21:32,970 --> 00:21:35,049
work out and you learn something every trip.

612
00:21:35,049 --> 00:21:37,289
Now you learn something just now. I see

613
00:21:37,289 --> 00:21:38,650
you messing around with a couple of things

614
00:21:38,650 --> 00:21:40,575
you're up on the roof. What happened? Well,

615
00:21:40,654 --> 00:21:43,054
a bolt came out of the, air conditioner

616
00:21:43,054 --> 00:21:44,494
and it was rattling around and you could

617
00:21:44,494 --> 00:21:46,014
hear it from inside. You were on a

618
00:21:46,014 --> 00:21:48,575
very bumpy road. Yes. Yeah. Yes. It was

619
00:21:48,575 --> 00:21:50,200
very bumpy and and one of those bolts

620
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,480
came out and I was able to just

621
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,099
put it back in and it was great.

622
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:54,919
What did you think it was? You thought

623
00:21:54,919 --> 00:21:56,279
it was a little I didn't know when

624
00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:57,980
I went up there and took off the,

625
00:21:59,015 --> 00:22:00,695
the cover, but when I looked at the

626
00:22:00,695 --> 00:22:03,095
cover, I saw the bolt. And I said,

627
00:22:03,095 --> 00:22:04,475
there's supposed to be 2 bolts,

628
00:22:04,855 --> 00:22:06,539
and there was only what? So

629
00:22:07,019 --> 00:22:08,380
And the other one was just in there?

630
00:22:08,380 --> 00:22:10,140
Just laying in there and it was rattling

631
00:22:10,140 --> 00:22:12,700
around. So before you go on your long

632
00:22:12,700 --> 00:22:15,039
distance trip, take a really short trip.

633
00:22:15,565 --> 00:22:18,125
Make sure everything in your rig works the

634
00:22:18,125 --> 00:22:19,505
way you want it to work,

635
00:22:20,365 --> 00:22:22,605
but do it with enough time so that

636
00:22:22,605 --> 00:22:24,529
you can fix the things that are not

637
00:22:24,529 --> 00:22:25,029
working,

638
00:22:25,569 --> 00:22:26,309
such as,

639
00:22:27,009 --> 00:22:29,029
in our case, it turned out the solar

640
00:22:29,089 --> 00:22:30,149
controller failed,

641
00:22:30,450 --> 00:22:32,450
and we had to fix that. We it's

642
00:22:32,450 --> 00:22:34,194
just a fuse, but we would have been

643
00:22:34,194 --> 00:22:35,875
deep trouble if we hadn't fixed it before

644
00:22:35,875 --> 00:22:38,115
we thought. And you didn't wanna find that

645
00:22:38,115 --> 00:22:39,894
in the middle of a trip? No.

646
00:22:40,194 --> 00:22:41,714
Okay. For me, I guess, a couple of

647
00:22:41,714 --> 00:22:45,340
very important ones are, water regulator, pressure regulator,

648
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,960
to protect you from any ultra high pressure

649
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,740
at a campground that you might not realize,

650
00:22:50,484 --> 00:22:51,384
could damage your

651
00:22:51,765 --> 00:22:53,125
plumbing and or get a leak.

652
00:22:53,525 --> 00:22:54,904
The other thing would be the,

653
00:22:55,365 --> 00:22:56,904
surge protector on the electricity.

654
00:22:57,845 --> 00:22:59,819
Haven't used them a lot until recently, but

655
00:22:59,819 --> 00:23:01,819
one of the campgrounds on this trip, we

656
00:23:01,819 --> 00:23:03,500
plugged it in, and it would not let

657
00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:05,740
us use it not let us plug in

658
00:23:05,740 --> 00:23:07,365
there because there was no ground.

659
00:23:07,744 --> 00:23:10,305
So, we moved to a different campsite because

660
00:23:10,545 --> 00:23:12,785
If you had not had that that,

661
00:23:13,184 --> 00:23:16,369
that management system Yep. Your electrical plug, you

662
00:23:16,450 --> 00:23:17,970
could've been in big trouble. Yeah. We wouldn't

663
00:23:17,970 --> 00:23:19,569
have known until we were until it was

664
00:23:19,569 --> 00:23:20,230
too late.

665
00:23:21,009 --> 00:23:22,549
What a wealth of information.

666
00:23:23,250 --> 00:23:24,930
Yeah. You've got you know what would have

667
00:23:24,930 --> 00:23:27,365
been fun? To ask everybody how many years

668
00:23:27,365 --> 00:23:28,184
they've been RVing.

669
00:23:28,565 --> 00:23:29,865
We probably could have had

670
00:23:30,404 --> 00:23:33,389
couple 100 years of RVing wisdom. Yes. We

671
00:23:33,389 --> 00:23:34,829
could just make up a number and say

672
00:23:34,829 --> 00:23:36,029
2 centuries worth of

673
00:23:36,589 --> 00:23:38,429
it probably is close to that. Yeah. There

674
00:23:38,429 --> 00:23:40,750
were there's some great great great advice from

675
00:23:40,750 --> 00:23:41,409
our folks.

676
00:23:41,755 --> 00:23:42,255
So,

677
00:23:42,795 --> 00:23:45,115
that's, that's what we got for you in

678
00:23:45,115 --> 00:23:46,955
terms of RV travel tips. If you have

679
00:23:46,955 --> 00:23:48,875
something that you think we should share or

680
00:23:48,875 --> 00:23:51,059
you wanna, comment on anything you heard,

681
00:23:51,620 --> 00:23:52,920
you can send us an email

682
00:23:53,220 --> 00:23:53,720
mikeandjenrvlifestyle.com.

683
00:23:56,900 --> 00:23:58,759
Alright. RV Questions

684
00:23:59,380 --> 00:24:00,440
of the Week

685
00:24:00,904 --> 00:24:02,984
And, we've we're gonna try and do, 3

686
00:24:02,984 --> 00:24:04,345
or 4 of them this week instead of

687
00:24:04,345 --> 00:24:06,505
our normal 1 or 2. So Okay. We

688
00:24:06,505 --> 00:24:07,704
got a lot of people who are still

689
00:24:07,704 --> 00:24:10,000
asking about, this trip and what it's been

690
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,480
like because many people wanna do a Canadian

691
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,799
maritime strip. And It's amazing how many people

692
00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:16,640
this is on their bucket list. Yep. It

693
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,325
wasn't ours. Wasn't ours for years. It was.

694
00:24:19,325 --> 00:24:22,284
Now this question is, we looked into cell

695
00:24:22,284 --> 00:24:23,664
phone service in the Maritimes.

696
00:24:24,044 --> 00:24:25,984
It looks like purchasing a local,

697
00:24:26,859 --> 00:24:28,539
SIM is the best option, and this is

698
00:24:28,539 --> 00:24:30,859
from Dave. A local SIM card.

699
00:24:31,820 --> 00:24:34,059
I don't know, Dave, if anybody here has

700
00:24:34,059 --> 00:24:36,345
done that or has had a need to

701
00:24:36,345 --> 00:24:37,005
do that.

702
00:24:37,944 --> 00:24:38,585
We have,

703
00:24:39,065 --> 00:24:41,784
Verizon as my provide my provider and Jen's

704
00:24:41,784 --> 00:24:42,284
provider,

705
00:24:42,904 --> 00:24:43,144
and,

706
00:24:43,704 --> 00:24:47,160
we have their international plan which allows, stuff.

707
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,539
It does limit data,

708
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:49,900
slows it down,

709
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,500
but we have Starlink.

710
00:24:51,914 --> 00:24:53,914
And so even if we're getting slow data

711
00:24:53,914 --> 00:24:54,654
from Verizon,

712
00:24:55,595 --> 00:24:58,394
we can use Starlink for Wi Fi phone

713
00:24:58,394 --> 00:25:01,250
calls. And, we've not missed a beat yet.

714
00:25:01,250 --> 00:25:04,150
We've had just rock solid snarling conditions.

715
00:25:04,690 --> 00:25:05,190
So,

716
00:25:07,009 --> 00:25:08,744
try buy it. If that's what you're comfortable

717
00:25:08,744 --> 00:25:10,424
doing, getting a a SIM card from a

718
00:25:10,424 --> 00:25:11,325
Canadian provider,

719
00:25:12,105 --> 00:25:14,184
go for it. But I don't think I

720
00:25:14,184 --> 00:25:15,945
don't think anybody in our trip has done

721
00:25:15,945 --> 00:25:18,950
that, and no one seems to have, have

722
00:25:18,950 --> 00:25:20,890
felt the need to do so. So,

723
00:25:21,589 --> 00:25:23,430
that's that's as best I can give you.

724
00:25:23,430 --> 00:25:25,289
We sure haven't, and, you know,

725
00:25:26,365 --> 00:25:27,805
I'm not I'm not I'm I'm all about

726
00:25:27,805 --> 00:25:29,644
saving money, but I didn't have to spend

727
00:25:29,644 --> 00:25:30,865
anything extra, and

728
00:25:31,164 --> 00:25:32,785
phone service works pretty good.

729
00:25:33,164 --> 00:25:34,384
Now our second question,

730
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,900
are there shopping, repair places for your RV,

731
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:38,460
services,

732
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,400
and the comforts of civilization? And this is

733
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,174
from Dallas. I wonder where Dallas lives. Yeah.

734
00:25:44,394 --> 00:25:44,894
Well,

735
00:25:45,755 --> 00:25:47,995
yes. There's there's plenty of all of that

736
00:25:47,995 --> 00:25:49,055
here. This is

737
00:25:49,434 --> 00:25:52,015
not much different than traveling in the states,

738
00:25:52,075 --> 00:25:52,519
really.

739
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,259
Think of the of a resort area,

740
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,180
clean air,

741
00:25:57,799 --> 00:26:00,914
but, we've stayed in the campgrounds have been

742
00:26:00,914 --> 00:26:01,394
fine.

743
00:26:01,954 --> 00:26:04,115
Maybe there haven't been as much 50 amp

744
00:26:04,115 --> 00:26:06,194
service as we're used to in the US,

745
00:26:06,194 --> 00:26:08,214
but that's not been an issue at all.

746
00:26:08,275 --> 00:26:10,710
Even though it's been extremely warm up here,

747
00:26:11,089 --> 00:26:12,789
all of the comforts of civilization

748
00:26:13,170 --> 00:26:14,710
are here and more so,

749
00:26:15,009 --> 00:26:17,089
some things are just more convenient. I mentioned

750
00:26:17,089 --> 00:26:20,345
credit cards and handling stuff. Everybody has the

751
00:26:20,345 --> 00:26:21,565
chip cards, and,

752
00:26:22,345 --> 00:26:23,404
it's very efficient.

753
00:26:24,664 --> 00:26:25,164
Shopping,

754
00:26:25,545 --> 00:26:27,065
you know, we're not big shoppers, but you

755
00:26:27,144 --> 00:26:29,130
we've gone we've already found a couple of

756
00:26:29,130 --> 00:26:32,170
favorite supermarkets that are chains up here. Great

757
00:26:32,170 --> 00:26:34,009
Atlantic is one we go to a lot.

758
00:26:34,009 --> 00:26:34,990
Mhmm. And

759
00:26:35,529 --> 00:26:37,505
being here, you're gonna hear a lot of

760
00:26:37,505 --> 00:26:39,825
French. If you took French in high school

761
00:26:39,825 --> 00:26:40,565
or college,

762
00:26:41,505 --> 00:26:42,945
brush on it brush up on it a

763
00:26:42,945 --> 00:26:44,625
little bit before you come here because you

764
00:26:44,625 --> 00:26:46,570
hear, I bet you half the people are

765
00:26:46,570 --> 00:26:48,250
speaking French. About half the yeah. I would

766
00:26:48,250 --> 00:26:48,570
say,

767
00:26:49,210 --> 00:26:50,350
Everything is bilingual.

768
00:26:50,809 --> 00:26:52,570
But that's the thing. They're all bilingual, so

769
00:26:52,570 --> 00:26:54,554
they also speak English. But it is it

770
00:26:54,554 --> 00:26:55,054
is,

771
00:26:55,355 --> 00:26:57,034
nice to hear French. It really is. It

772
00:26:57,034 --> 00:26:59,434
makes you realize, hey, I'm someplace else. Like,

773
00:26:59,434 --> 00:27:00,494
when you go on a tour,

774
00:27:00,954 --> 00:27:01,454
they'll

775
00:27:02,130 --> 00:27:04,610
they'll be both explanations in English and then

776
00:27:04,610 --> 00:27:07,490
again in French. As to repair places, we've

777
00:27:07,490 --> 00:27:09,990
had 2 people here who've had, some,

778
00:27:10,529 --> 00:27:12,914
broken leaf springs in their vehicles.

779
00:27:13,295 --> 00:27:14,894
It's nothing to do with the roads. The

780
00:27:14,894 --> 00:27:15,875
roads are fine.

781
00:27:16,575 --> 00:27:18,789
It's just that, you know, they had bad

782
00:27:18,789 --> 00:27:20,710
springs. But interesting that 2 out of the

783
00:27:20,710 --> 00:27:23,029
26 had them. Both one of them,

784
00:27:23,430 --> 00:27:25,404
well, in fact, both of them had repair

785
00:27:25,404 --> 00:27:27,404
shops that were able to fix them within

786
00:27:27,404 --> 00:27:29,005
just a little bit of time. 1 guy

787
00:27:29,005 --> 00:27:31,565
took his unit to a welder. The guy

788
00:27:31,565 --> 00:27:33,244
came out in the parking lot, welded it

789
00:27:33,244 --> 00:27:34,865
back together, fixed it for him,

790
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,400
and, the same thing with another one. He

791
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,240
went to a dealer, and he went to

792
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,960
a repair shop. He found 1, and they

793
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,195
had exact the exact springs that he needed

794
00:27:44,195 --> 00:27:46,275
replacement, and he was back on the road

795
00:27:46,275 --> 00:27:47,095
in an hour.

796
00:27:47,795 --> 00:27:50,195
So and we have seen mobile RV techs

797
00:27:50,195 --> 00:27:50,934
in the campgrounds,

798
00:27:51,235 --> 00:27:51,735
so

799
00:27:52,369 --> 00:27:53,890
none of the none of the issues that

800
00:27:53,890 --> 00:27:56,450
you you might think. It is not as

801
00:27:56,450 --> 00:27:56,950
remote

802
00:27:57,490 --> 00:27:59,730
as one would think. Yes. There are some

803
00:27:59,730 --> 00:28:00,470
wide open

804
00:28:00,795 --> 00:28:02,474
territories here, but the roads are in great

805
00:28:02,474 --> 00:28:04,575
shape. I would say in better shape,

806
00:28:05,035 --> 00:28:06,714
by and large, than they are in the

807
00:28:06,714 --> 00:28:07,214
US.

808
00:28:08,049 --> 00:28:10,230
Wouldn't you agree with that, the roads? Yeah.

809
00:28:10,289 --> 00:28:12,609
We were in a national park yesterday, and

810
00:28:12,609 --> 00:28:14,769
the roads were fantastic in the park. We

811
00:28:14,769 --> 00:28:16,849
did the Cabot Trail, and, there was a

812
00:28:16,849 --> 00:28:18,914
couple of rough spots. They had a real

813
00:28:18,914 --> 00:28:21,075
rough winter up here last year, and there

814
00:28:21,075 --> 00:28:23,315
were some frost heaves, but they're fixing those.

815
00:28:23,315 --> 00:28:25,015
But in general, the roads,

816
00:28:25,555 --> 00:28:27,174
even way up here in the Maritimes,

817
00:28:27,700 --> 00:28:29,000
better than in the US.

818
00:28:29,539 --> 00:28:29,940
Alright.

819
00:28:30,420 --> 00:28:32,660
Okay. Now here's another question. Have there been

820
00:28:32,660 --> 00:28:35,859
any disappointments or surprises on your maritime trip?

821
00:28:35,859 --> 00:28:37,000
And that's from Patty.

822
00:28:37,304 --> 00:28:37,804
Disappointments.

823
00:28:39,944 --> 00:28:41,704
Maybe a little bit with the Cabot Trail,

824
00:28:41,704 --> 00:28:44,125
but it was only because the weather wasn't

825
00:28:44,460 --> 00:28:47,180
as cooperative. We drove the Cabot Trail, and

826
00:28:47,180 --> 00:28:49,339
you'll see that in the next YouTube video

827
00:28:49,339 --> 00:28:50,880
we released in Nova Scotia.

828
00:28:51,404 --> 00:28:53,164
Just let's just one of the most iconic

829
00:28:53,164 --> 00:28:55,904
road trips anywhere in North America, gorgeous trails,

830
00:28:56,365 --> 00:28:58,444
but the weather didn't cooperate. You know, that

831
00:28:58,444 --> 00:29:00,605
hurricane remnant was still there. We had gray

832
00:29:00,605 --> 00:29:01,105
skies,

833
00:29:01,839 --> 00:29:03,440
So, you know, when the skies are gray,

834
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,599
the water is gray, and it's sometimes hard

835
00:29:05,599 --> 00:29:07,919
to get that, you know, the beautiful blue

836
00:29:07,919 --> 00:29:08,740
of the Atlantic,

837
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:10,500
as you make those curves.

838
00:29:10,855 --> 00:29:13,434
So that this is weather disappointments, but,

839
00:29:14,134 --> 00:29:15,755
but but that's about it.

840
00:29:16,375 --> 00:29:16,875
Surprises,

841
00:29:17,335 --> 00:29:19,674
I think what Jennifer mentioned at the top,

842
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,059
how quickly you become make new friends.

843
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,740
That that's true. It it's like instant friendships

844
00:29:27,015 --> 00:29:28,695
popping up all over the place, but that's

845
00:29:28,695 --> 00:29:31,335
what our viewers are like. They like to

846
00:29:31,335 --> 00:29:32,714
share life experiences.

847
00:29:33,335 --> 00:29:35,494
They ask questions about where they should go

848
00:29:35,494 --> 00:29:37,409
and where they've been to help others.

849
00:29:37,710 --> 00:29:39,470
But, you know, each night,

850
00:29:40,029 --> 00:29:41,809
we all gather around and outside

851
00:29:42,190 --> 00:29:44,434
usually outside multiple RVs. There may be a

852
00:29:44,434 --> 00:29:46,035
group of 5 or 6 over here and

853
00:29:46,035 --> 00:29:48,914
a couple over there, and everybody wanders about

854
00:29:48,914 --> 00:29:49,714
and talks. And,

855
00:29:50,839 --> 00:29:52,279
when we do go out to eat, you

856
00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:54,680
find somebody to, sit with, and, you know,

857
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,759
you go with another couple of people and

858
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,455
but close friendships that you can make in

859
00:29:59,455 --> 00:30:00,974
a trip like this that I think will

860
00:30:00,974 --> 00:30:03,775
carry on for the rest of their RVing

861
00:30:03,775 --> 00:30:05,715
lives. Don't you? Mhmm. Yep.

862
00:30:06,159 --> 00:30:08,019
Alright. Let's do one more question,

863
00:30:08,399 --> 00:30:10,019
and, and we'll take,

864
00:30:10,399 --> 00:30:13,119
take this one. Okay. How has Beau been

865
00:30:13,119 --> 00:30:15,700
doing on this long trip? Sasha and Ted.

866
00:30:16,674 --> 00:30:17,634
Sasha and Ted.

867
00:30:18,595 --> 00:30:20,695
Beau has been a really good boy,

868
00:30:21,555 --> 00:30:22,855
but I will say

869
00:30:23,289 --> 00:30:25,930
it's probably been hard on him. Some of

870
00:30:25,930 --> 00:30:26,590
our days,

871
00:30:27,450 --> 00:30:29,930
are spent touring, and they're like 5 and

872
00:30:29,930 --> 00:30:31,070
6 hours long.

873
00:30:31,524 --> 00:30:33,524
And dogs can't come on the bus, and

874
00:30:33,524 --> 00:30:35,784
they can't come on the organized tours,

875
00:30:36,244 --> 00:30:38,005
so Bo has to be left back here

876
00:30:38,005 --> 00:30:38,825
in the RV.

877
00:30:39,409 --> 00:30:41,570
Fortunately, we've all had air conditioning, and he

878
00:30:41,650 --> 00:30:43,029
we've he's been comfortable.

879
00:30:44,049 --> 00:30:46,369
It stresses him to be left that long,

880
00:30:46,369 --> 00:30:48,634
and it stresses us because he's always at

881
00:30:48,634 --> 00:30:50,474
the back of our mind. We went today,

882
00:30:50,474 --> 00:30:52,174
for example, to see an awesome,

883
00:30:53,595 --> 00:30:56,169
fortress, the fortress at Louisbourg,

884
00:30:56,950 --> 00:30:59,429
not far from here, a re recreation of

885
00:30:59,429 --> 00:31:02,505
a French fort that the British destroyed in

886
00:31:03,305 --> 00:31:04,525
the early 1700.

887
00:31:05,545 --> 00:31:07,464
And we couldn't bring Beau there, so we

888
00:31:07,464 --> 00:31:09,065
had to leave him here for 4 or

889
00:31:09,065 --> 00:31:09,805
5 hours.

890
00:31:10,299 --> 00:31:12,779
And, it's very windy, and the RV was

891
00:31:12,779 --> 00:31:14,779
making noises. You know? The wind went howling

892
00:31:14,779 --> 00:31:17,019
out there, and he was stressed. I can

893
00:31:17,019 --> 00:31:19,294
say that, normally, Bo won't speak to us.

894
00:31:19,294 --> 00:31:21,615
He's mad at us when we leave him,

895
00:31:21,615 --> 00:31:23,054
but he was so thrilled to see us

896
00:31:23,054 --> 00:31:25,375
because Yeah. Because he was afraid because, you

897
00:31:25,375 --> 00:31:27,294
know, the unit was shaking. Yeah. He was

898
00:31:27,294 --> 00:31:29,429
mighty glad to see us. But it's been

899
00:31:29,429 --> 00:31:30,809
challenging. Dogs are

900
00:31:31,109 --> 00:31:32,329
very welcome in Canada,

901
00:31:33,029 --> 00:31:35,929
but, on an organized trip like this where

902
00:31:36,244 --> 00:31:38,565
you're gone for protracted periods of time and

903
00:31:38,565 --> 00:31:40,244
stuff. Some of the folks have hired dog

904
00:31:40,244 --> 00:31:40,744
sitters.

905
00:31:42,085 --> 00:31:44,505
We have not done that. We're told in

906
00:31:44,804 --> 00:31:47,090
the next couple of campgrounds we're going, there

907
00:31:47,090 --> 00:31:48,150
will be, some

908
00:31:49,009 --> 00:31:50,549
friends of our wagon masters,

909
00:31:51,170 --> 00:31:52,470
the leaders of the tour,

910
00:31:52,974 --> 00:31:55,534
who have offered to, watch dogs and walk

911
00:31:55,534 --> 00:31:58,014
dogs for free pool, which is great, and

912
00:31:58,014 --> 00:31:59,794
I'm sure we'll take advantage of that.

913
00:32:00,259 --> 00:32:00,500
But,

914
00:32:01,299 --> 00:32:04,019
I'm glad we bought bro, but, and we've

915
00:32:04,019 --> 00:32:05,940
we've always managed to find places where he

916
00:32:05,940 --> 00:32:07,539
can run and have have a little bit

917
00:32:07,539 --> 00:32:09,095
of of exercise, but,

918
00:32:10,054 --> 00:32:12,134
it's not been as much fun for Bo

919
00:32:12,134 --> 00:32:13,835
as it has been for Jen and me.

920
00:32:13,974 --> 00:32:16,294
And, I think a disappointment might be that

921
00:32:16,294 --> 00:32:18,154
I was expecting cooler weather,

922
00:32:18,820 --> 00:32:20,900
but it's warm up here and humid, but

923
00:32:20,900 --> 00:32:22,580
it's warm and humid, I think, just about

924
00:32:22,580 --> 00:32:26,019
everywhere. 80 81 degrees right now as, as

925
00:32:26,019 --> 00:32:27,539
we record this, and it's been in the

926
00:32:27,539 --> 00:32:28,039
eighties

927
00:32:28,585 --> 00:32:30,845
most days, which is very unusual.

928
00:32:31,304 --> 00:32:33,785
Now this morning, it got foggy as we

929
00:32:33,785 --> 00:32:35,384
got near the ocean to see this At

930
00:32:35,384 --> 00:32:36,924
the Fort. French Fort. Yeah.

931
00:32:37,250 --> 00:32:40,049
And, actually, it added to the atmosphere Yeah.

932
00:32:40,049 --> 00:32:41,890
Of course. The drama. You'll see that in,

933
00:32:42,049 --> 00:32:43,650
in our next video, which will be on

934
00:32:43,650 --> 00:32:46,404
Nova Scotia. I I I'd hope to have

935
00:32:46,404 --> 00:32:48,565
had it this week for you, but, we're

936
00:32:48,565 --> 00:32:49,224
so busy,

937
00:32:50,404 --> 00:32:52,644
actually creating content, going out and seeing stuff,

938
00:32:52,644 --> 00:32:55,109
and taking advantage of the organized activities on

939
00:32:55,109 --> 00:32:56,710
this tour that I I wasn't able to

940
00:32:56,710 --> 00:32:57,529
get it edited.

941
00:32:57,990 --> 00:32:59,914
So we'll start editing it,

942
00:33:00,315 --> 00:33:02,154
over the next week, and I'm not sure

943
00:33:02,154 --> 00:33:04,315
when it'll be ready. But when we get

944
00:33:04,315 --> 00:33:06,154
it, we'll let you know. We're working on

945
00:33:06,154 --> 00:33:07,515
it. Yeah. So we have a couple more

946
00:33:07,515 --> 00:33:09,960
coming. We have one on all of Nova

947
00:33:10,420 --> 00:33:11,860
Scotia, and then we'll do a separate one

948
00:33:11,860 --> 00:33:14,420
on Prince Edward Island. And, we'll probably do

949
00:33:14,420 --> 00:33:15,480
one on our return

950
00:33:15,860 --> 00:33:16,519
as well.

951
00:33:16,845 --> 00:33:17,964
Do you have a question? Do you have

952
00:33:17,964 --> 00:33:19,724
a comment? We'd love to hear from you.
