BIG LIFE CHANGE: HEADED NORTH To Texas Hill Country In Our 4x4 Truck Camper

This week we're leaving the beaches of south Texas and turning our compass north as we prepare for a major life change for the month of April. Be sure to stick around until the end to find out where we're headed and what we'll be doing

Those burgers looked great. I like using cast iron also.

[@thecumminscamper]

Cast Irons my favorite! I haven’t given stainless steel enough of a try but I’ve got these cast irons pretty dialed into perfection. Thanks for watching Humberto!

[@JimmyVYouTube]

Frio River looks amazing!!!

[@thecumminscamper]

It sure was! If you’re ever in that area you should definitely check it out

[@jafletcher5105]

The cows most likely think you had their supplemental feed. Serious treats to them. The rancher most like has a diesel RAM and so when they hear the engine they thing it's 'Treat Time'.

[@thecumminscamper]

I agree with you completely. Ranchers love their Ram trucks. Little did the cows know I was dreaming of making them into my supplemental feed

Yummy ❤from Atlanta Ga ❤

[@thecumminscamper]

Thanks y’all! Appreciate you watching and commenting. ATL!!!!

[@CandEAdventures]

Awesome campground , especially with the openness and those showers! We will have to put it on our future Texas plans! Looking forward to your trip north

[@thecumminscamper]

Thanks y’all! Next week is gonna be a weird one as we went to arches and canyonlands so a lotta photos instead of video content. We’ll see how it comes out 🤣

[@toddramsay977]

Wow, at 15:07 climbing into that tree. I don’t want to say what that looks like to a baby on its’ birthday. LOL! They say men spend 9 months getting out and the rest of their life trying to get back in! LOL!

[@thecumminscamper]

Hahaha climbing in and out of that tree was quite the task! Made me realize how big I am compared to dainty little Marisa

[@NoahM.Angell-sd4ez]

Enjoy watching you guys .

[@thecumminscamper]

Thanks Chris! Greatly appreciate that. So glad you enjoy the videos. It helps keep me motivated to make more of them.

re -- slide . San Felipe, Baja. Probably around 1998 or so. One of our caravan chums had a balky slide. We removed it, inverted it, glued kitchen-counter material to the underside. . Re-installed, the slide easily slid across the carpet. We installed a couple handles near the bottom outside so one person could extend it. . Fence-gate barrel-latches kept it either locked in or out.

[@thecumminscamper]

Nice! Thats pretty wild do be doing in Baja!

[@papprince]

Hey guys from WV. Great video. Can't wait for the next one.

[@thecumminscamper]

WV!!!!! I just went through my google timeline to see when it was that we last visited WV. We stayed up in Granville at a Cracker Barrel after doing a 7 hour drive from Louisville and stopping in Morgantown for dinner and drinks. Beautiful state!

[@papprince]

@thecumminscamper we are about 40 south of morgantown. Been here my whole life and love it...but man the places you guys have seen.

[@danmartin2235]

Nice Video! After watching for a while i can see you both are cool to hang with, easy to get along! Cocktails and good food, good company. If ever in Southern Oregon, hit us up, we have RV parking and friendly black Cat🐈‍⬛ 👍🏻

[@thecumminscamper]

Thanks Dan! Glad we come across as easy to get along with. Food, booze and 🌲’s are the keys to a good day in our world. Are y’all coastal Southern Oregon or inland? Appreciate the invite🤘

Those looked like some seriously yummy 🐮 🥩

[@kodiakdiaries]

@thecumminscamper 🤣we agree...Every cow makes us think of steak!

[@stephenwright3723]

You are right, a really nice park. 😊🇨🇦

[@thecumminscamper]

Such a nice park. The owners purchased it just before Covid and have worked their butts off and invested a bunch in making it into an amazing campground. They’re continuing to improve too. The owner was telling us about future plans and it’s rad to see a business that sees the value in continuing to be better and better every year.

[@mrgatorzx]

I'm not gonna lie. That double smashed bacon burger looked amazing 😂

[@thecumminscamper]

It’s so freaking good! I probably make them too often because they’re quick, delicious and relatively inexpensive to make. I gotta come up with something else creative to do with the smash burgers. Thanks for watching 👍

[@_LikeATumbleweed]

OMG! That burger looks so good!

[@thecumminscamper]

Thanks so much! They’re so good! I can’t go back to traditional burgers after becoming addicted to smash burgers. The thin crispy aspect of the outside of the meat gives it such crazy delicious flavor. If you don’t have a smash burger press, be sure to order one so you can do these at home!

[@_LikeATumbleweed]

@@thecumminscamper I going to get one, I think I have one little empty cubby hole left in my van to store something 😆

[@flomastah]

What an awesome spot! Were you planned to be somewhere for the path of the eclipse yesterday?

[@thecumminscamper]

Really awesome spot! We didn’t prioritize the eclipse sadly. We caught a glimpse of it from where we’re at now in Utah but it wasn’t the experience that it would have been if we’d been in the path. We felt it get colder out while I was working outside yesterday more than anything

[@benpriester6657]

Great video! I was wondering about your slide, could the slow movement have been caused by low voltage? It definitely could also be the motor going. Safe travels and see you both next week.

[@thecumminscamper]

Thanks Ben! I do think it might be low voltage related. When I run the truck and my dc-dc charger is pumping juice and I’m plugged into shore power and my battery chargers on it comes in super fast by comparison to when it’s just the batteries. Someone else mentioned replacing the switch because in his case the switch caused a voltage loss but just enough to make it slow but not stop the slide completely which is similar to what mines doing. The switch he said was $12 so I’m gonna start there vs the $250 or so for a slide motor. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@benpriester6657]

@thecumminscamper I definitely enjoy your channel. PS. I hope the switch is the fix.

[@OverlandCitrus]

Great video guys nice burgers we are making sliders tonight A recipe we got from Kenny of all Trades travel safe

[@thecumminscamper]

Kenny’s got quite the following. His videos have been getting tons of views! He’s got a great rig and winter campings a blast to watch.

[@OverlandCitrus]

he has a good channel for sure

[@FrankCastle-he8fl]

Texas Hil Country is the best I moved going on 3 years soon enjoy the BBQ

[@thecumminscamper]

The BBQ in Texas is without question the absolute best BBQ I’ve ever had. The brisket is obscene. If I lived there I’d love to learn the art of making such good brisket. Thanks for watching and commenting. Greatly appreciate you taking the time to be here and watch our videos.

[@Frecklesunkissed]

I don’t know why you tube hates me but they keep unsubscribing me or my notifications never works. It’s really annoying! That smash burger looks amazing.

[@thecumminscamper]

Thanks for pushing back against the system and still show up to watch our videos. Greatly appreciate you re-subscribing even if YT isn’t making it easy🤘

[@mikethomsen5096]

lol you would of fit in the tree if ya didn’t have a double smash burger lol

[@thecumminscamper]

Hahahahaha this might be the best comment of any comment yet. I busted out laughing when I read this. It’s true! The burger gut is getting in my way. It’s easy to get a little chubby on the road. I’m trying to keep it at bay but it’s a tough battle lol

[@mikethomsen5096]

@@thecumminscamper I am guilty of a beer gut so I would say with burgers and beer we are both in good company 😂😎

[@SpykersB]

9am at the moment n i'm wanting that 🍔! Dam lol. That campground must get packed in the summer cause it sure looks inviting. So 'uh oh' on the slide, still? 🍻

[@thecumminscamper]

Campgrounds going to be super packed for the solar eclipse. It’s located where the eclipse will last the longest on Monday. The burger was so good. It’s the same time in the morning here in Utah and I’m hungry for one as well

[@thecumminscamper]

And yes still uhhhh on the slide. It’s been clunky for a year now so it’s on my radar to deal with but for now just rocking what we got

[@SNOTT8417]

Check your switch before you buy a slide motor. I had a similar problem and it was a $12 switch. Not a $200 motor. Ask me how I know.

[@thecumminscamper]

@@SNOTT8417 what was your slide doing wrong that replacing the switch resolved?

[@SNOTT8417]

@@thecumminscamper slow action, sounded like it was straining to operate. I had broken wire in the switch. Barely making contact. Finally stopped working so my dumb ass bought the motor.

[@BarelySqueakinBy]

How involved is it to replace the motor on your slide out?

Super terrible. Like 99% anger and yelling with 1% forward progress kind of location

[@toddramsay977]

New to the channel. Have to ask, at the end of the video, you have a massive lump on your right shoulder. You look fit and muscular, so it looks out of place to be fat deposit. Not prying, and don’t need an explanation if you don’t want to share. Great video!

[@thecumminscamper]

I just rewatched the end looking at my shoulder. What you’re seeing is the shadowing of the lighting hitting my shoulders and creating a shadow to make that muscle look more like a lump. Not to worry on the lump that’s just muscle I’ve been building by doing shoulder raises everyday at the gym for the last month 💪

[@thecumminscamper]

Also new video will be out in the next hour or so!
