Steering Vibration Solved ~ Beware RV Driving On Yukon Territory Roads ~ The Alaskan Border!! ~ S1E59
We finally made it to the Alaskan border in our RV! It has been nearly 10k miles and we are excited to get past all the bad roads found in the Yukon Territory. It was a great feeling finally making it across the border!
New Outlook On RV Problems ~ Biggest RV Investment ~ Water Pump Maintenance & Installation ~ S1E41
Before getting our RV I did very small projects myself. For whatever reason when I tried to work on something I would only make it worse. When we got the RV I started out with the same mentality but quickly learned that you can not look at it that way. If you took the rv in every time something broke you yourself would end up broke! Fixing this RV water pump was a great feeling!
RV Shop Results ~ Arriving In Colorado ~ Driving An RV Into Downtown Denver ~ S1E26
Turns out…no one knows what the sound is coming form the rv… Soon after graduating college I moved out to Denver. It was the first time I had lived in a Capital city in the United States and I loved it. Denver is an amazing town with tons going on! I wanted to show G the city so after some great Nebraska driving we made it into Denver.
Taking The RV In To A Shop ~ Exploring Scotts Bluff National Monument ~ S1E25
One of my main concerns when we first got the RV was the safety issues. This was a huge piece of machinery that I knew nothing about. Not only was I on the line for our lives, but every driver on the road. So, with that said, taking the RV into the shop for a weird noise was a no brainer. Then we head off to Scotts Bluff National Monument. It was a great day of exploring!
Our Walmart RV Boondock Spot ~ Possible Transmission Problems ~ Arriving At Fairhope Brewing Company ~ S1E10
We wake up at our free Walmart boondocking spot and get to work. I check the transmission fluid and get a very bad view, black on the dipstick. From time to time I have heard a slight bump going into third gear. We hit the road with plans on stopping by an RV shop.
Official First Full Day Living In Our RV ~ Thanks To Burke Tire ~ Pilot RV Camping ~ S1E1
After stopping by Burke Tire in Terre Haute we were officially on the road. It caused a huge amount of stress but once we actually got on the road the feeling was amazing! If/when you get your RV you will know exactly what I am talking about!
Beautiful Free Boondocking ~ Tow Car Light Malfunction ~ Multiple Roadside RV Fixes ~ S3E51
Well, as you can see from the video, our free RV boondocking spot was amazing! We happened to be around during some GREAT weather and I got some pretty cool footage in the morning. I was riding that high until I noticed the brake lights on the car were not working. After spending about an hour and a half chasing down the problem I finally found out it was the cable that goes from the rv to the car… We then hit the road only to be stopped again by a mistake a made while checking fuses.
RV Brake System Diagnosed ~ Best Doughnuts In Portland ~ Exploring Portland ~ S3E46
We finally are able to visit the city we have been trying to visit for years now, Portland! Without a tow car for the RV visiting this city has been impossible. We couldn’t find a park that had access to downtown. Being that we parked at Roadmaster and had a tow car we were able to visit and G was able to get her doughnuts!

Cons Of Set Destinations ~ Sani Dumps App ~ Walmart RV Oil Change ~ S3E40
One of the main reasons we are not returning to Alaska next year is the fact that having set destinations really puts a “damper” on other aspects of the road. If we had a choice I think we would have stayed in Port Orford for at least another 4 days. But, that is life on the road, it could be worse! We use the Sani Dumps app to find a free dump and head to Coo’s Bay to get the RV’s oil changed.
