wait, didnt agent schrader died in breaking bad? hmm what do you know he bought a van and goes finishing ... breaking bad lies

I snowmachine on that exact rail trail from woodsville to Littleton. AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF RESPECT FOR SHOUTING OUT THE REGISTRATION FEES THAT HELP KEEP THE TRAIL 🤘

Price?

Just now buying 2006 4x4 like yours in Alaska. Your tips are very helpful for my adventures up here.

Buying a 2006 4x4 Popular this June for road trips around Alaska & possibly lower 48 in the fall & winter.

Good video of some of the notable transitions on this trip; it's an excellent one for novice canoe-campers with the exception of the potential for sometimes significant wind on the 'ponds'. Did this last month, Monday/Tuesday before Memorial weekend, first time for a spring visit after at least 2 (maybe three?) previous all in late fall. As another poster mentioned, almost empty of other people, almost zero mosquitos and black flies out but not biting; water was high enough that the outflows on the ponds weren't particularly bony. Glorious weather and conditions. For reference, in a 60ish# Mad River canoe, solo paddler and gear, I ran all the river rips without issue; no additional carries required beyond the two mandatory ones. Scouting is a good idea and easy to do, from the water above the ledges at Mosquito/Camel/Spenser, and walking around to plan the Attean sections. All of my trips have been in two days, with early starts and steady paddling. As a caution, both the last two have involved crossing Attean with serious gusting wind, once on the first day with a constant headwind getting from the launch to the portage between the ponds and this May crossing back from the Moose to the outflow and take-out with a mixed headwind and beam wind/chop that might make some parties decide to bivy for the afternoon and finish the next morning. Highly enjoyable.

So you parked between wood pond and attean lake on the moose river?

Some of the best off trail snowmobiling in Maine is around the Moose River Bow

You have a 21' roadtrek you have even more room for adding more LiFePO4 batteries, a bigger converter that is compatible with them and larger gauge wires to the batteries and your new 45 or 60 amps converter. Then you can use a nice pure sine inverter all night and you could look at a dc to dc charger to charge it while you're driving.

Crab Apple > Zoar. No contest. <3

Wonderful adventures.

I think the late great Peter Calvert ( passed away a few years ago) was a great man and waterman . He used to run mass whitewater in open canoes 🛶.

We have had the Minnesota 2 for several years and your review is spot on. I keep ours stored outside on wood horses with a Red leaf designs cover and it still looks great. I would add that it is narrow with a rounded bottom that gives it a “tippy” feel initially, but it has good secondary stability. It is fast! I have a great Old Town canoe from the ‘70s, but often didn’t want to load it due to the 80 or so pound weight. The 42 pound Minn. 2 is a breeze to load and portage.

Thumbs up on the thermocell, I also made a screen room for my awning, don't use it often but in no-seeum places its a lifesaver.

Cast Iron pan: I have 2 sizes, cook almost all of my meals in them, including toast. Only problem is when I forget to put them away and they get flung onto my custom inlaid teak floor and put big dings in it.

Inverter for USB charging? WTF why would you turn 12v dc, into 120 ac, to turn it into 5v dc? Just put 12v to 5v usb jacks in, no load except the actual thing you are chargeing. And get some solar, first and best mod I did to my 190 popular.

Awning handel, I cut mine down to the length of the door pocket in the side door. I don't even need to go inside to get it just open the door and its right there.

Nice video. Is it comfortable without a backrest support? In my experience with paddling on kayak, if the backrest is not good it strenuous to the back.

Thanks for all the great tips! Couple questions... How does the 4x4 do on gas millage? Is it selectable or full-time? Lastly, I'm curious to know how many miles your van had when you purchased it and how many miles you've driven since owning. Thanks much!

This trip is on our canoe trip bucket list. Thanks for sharing! Great video.

Hello from Cape Breton. We also have a Versatile, but ours is a 1994 Dodge, and sadly not a 4x4. I enjoyed the walk through, it’s always nice to see the differences in the makes and models.

Great video, do you have any issues with interior leaking when it rains?

Been looking for a 4x4 190V let me know if you ever want to sell it thx

Dreaming of warner weather. THank you!

I noticed your bikes in the back doesn’t it make you RV a little bit too long that you can’t park in small parking areas on the street.

And another question my road track is 2007 210 ,when I first got it just a year ago I took it to a garage because I couldn’t figure out why the steering was so loose. Do you know why and does yours do the same thing

I wanna ask you a question I have a road track also and I’m 70 years old and that tire in the back on the door , it’s a pain ,like you said it hard to get in the back doors that tire is so heavy for me to put down. Do you think it’s possible to put a swing arm get it welded somehow on the side so it’ll be easier for me to swing it out instead of putting it down did you ever see it done that way?

Hello, new to your journey. How do you manage your water system in freezing temperatures? Does it not freeze? Thx, and keep up the great work…happy trails

Looking to purchase a 2007 Roadtrek Popular. Bet you don't expect a comment like this! I saw how you prepared your meal and it really showed me how I can cook in the van. It would be helpful if I saw how, after planning the meals for a few days, how others packed food and stored the food.

Amazing work on this video, you captured the whole trip perfectly! I completed the loop the weekend before Memorial Day. No bugs, no people, and high water. Definitely the best time to go. That initial portage is no joke, definitely feels closer to 2mi that’s for sure! Can’t believe you guys made 2 trips 😂 I’d have turned around hahaha

Thanks for Very Useful Hacks. Just got a 2013 Roadtrek. Coming from a Class C life, so realize adapting will take some time but not having to tow a car is worth it. Your hacks will help!

Road was most likely closed due to all of the rain. Dirt roads and heavy traffic and heavy rain don’t mix well.

Great video. I’ve been thinking about doing this trip by kayak, after watching this video it seems like it would be doable. What month did you do your trip?

What kind of gas mileage with the 4x4 Roadtrek?

What a nice adventure.

Larry has us comfortably pinned in Labyrinth @ 8:00. sensei

Nice! Love the room!

I'm told you can do this trip in 2 or 3 days . I recommend you take your time and enjoy the place! You're on vacation after all!

this is a great trip! It's accessible. Pretty easy. There is a 1.2 mile portage but it's not too bad. I recommend going during the week because it is a popular trip! I will do this one again!

I bought the wide heavy duty EZ CART and the wheels were no problem at all to put on. Maybe Sea Eagle has better quality control now.

Hi I loved your videos! I saw in an other video you replaced your generator is it possible to replace them to run on gas instead of the propane which they normally come with?

Live in Florida that snow is beautiful but you are tougher than I am. I have an 07 Roadtrek does the generator have to be on to run the furnace?

Wish you would have shown the bag for dry toilet up close .. or entire name of product. :) Great video .. Thanks for sharing. I have an older model 2001 Chevy 200 Versatile

Just a hint , propane will rust your van from the inside and ruin all electrical inside your dash

I think I'm definitely gonna do this trip. I bought a 14' hornbeck NT , its a solo pack boat made in the Adirondacks , I picked it up this past June. I did the debsconeag wilderness canoe loop the first week of July. it was a learning experience for me. I brought way too much gear, and I had never portaged or wilderness camped before, and I did it solo. but it was worth it. I did scratch up my new boat on the final leg down the west branch of Penobscot River , I made a mistake and had to run some serious rapids-a lot of water anyway, but I didn't dump my boat and my outfit. moose river looks awesome. I need to find a partner, not many are willing , I've asked most people I know. if I have to it will be solo again , may be this fall. otherwise I've just been paddling near by where I live, salt water as well as fresh . question; what size is that canoe? it looks huge! 17'? thx for sharing !

Nice trip and great job on your video as always Tim!

Nice little trip!

Well done lad, looking forward to getting out your way and getting on the water!

Sometimes I feel like the Old Man of New England is my doppelgänger.

helpful to see this. we just ordered our Sea Eagle as well. Did you ever consider getting a Bixpy motor for it?
