[@mkaysartfuljourney1239]

I love riding with you as you drive down the road. The views are fabulous. Thank you. ❤️💯🙏🏻✨🥰

[@legalpuppy8602]

I'm sorry for your troubles but I love when you laugh with Sadie. She truly entertains you.

[@marilynrenaud1892]

Wow Carolyn, this was informative. I totally load up the refrigerator door and the rest of the fridge in our fifth wheel before we take off... I guess I've been lucky so far but now I know enough to be a lot more careful about loading the door. I am completely convinced that there isn't one thing that you can't do. Good luck with your steps next. With an RV it is always something. Safe travels Carolyn. 👍👍👍👍👍🙂

[@JodysJourney]

My favorite road trip food: coffee nut M&Ms and Twizzlers. 😊❤️

[@gaylemoore2784]

I live full time in my (similar to your) Class C....going on 5 years now and I have followed you, Carolyn, almost from the.time you first. started out. So, I'm sitting here in my RV watching this video about the refrigerator door falling off and I'm thinking, OMG, that can happen?? I know now that I had better pay attention to how much weight I have in the door....which is quite a bit! Thank you for this "lesson learned" at your expense! Gayle Moore

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You're very welcome! I hope my experience can prevent this from happening for you and others

[@margl7793]

#Reiki. I love that you're supporting these small businesses! Thank you!

[@blueskies00]

I love how u laugh it off Very healthy actually Instead of complaining

[@philguzman6932]

If all elses fails, get a bigger hammer. Also, when taking things apart, take pictures of the step with your phone. It will make reassembly way easier. I routinely do both.

[@imok4149]

Welcome to TN. I live near the Smokies, and I could tell you went through Knoxville. Stay safe out there, and thanks for sharing your travels with us!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You're welcome! Thanks for tuning in!

[@wanderwomen8440]

I knew exactly why you were laughing while Sadie was drinking.....'cause I had just removed my earphones to see if it was MY dog Molly drinking and realized it was Sadie! LOL

[@JoeZyzyx]

got the calendar dec 27 2021, looks great. Thanks!

[@JoeZyzyx]

I would have put a piano hinge on the door and added some flat magnets to help the open side to stay closed, or a handle with a bungee to hold closed.

[@wrecklisseve]

#BroomMate . Thanks for promoting small businesses. Nice job on your repair! I had several repairs needed in my sticks and bricks this year -- is there no escaping repair and maintenance??!! ;-)

[@oliviagraceson6318]

Sorry for the fix-it day. Be safe on the road. Stay warm.

[@lindajohnson4204]

There was a restaurant in Nashville in the late 60s, called the Natchez Trace Cafe, an old-fashioned, meat-and-three vegetable kind of place, right at the edge of Centennial Park (where McDonald's is now, if people know Nashville). They were very nice (and godly) folks, with an unadvertised, back-door policy of giving hungry people meals if they just asked. I learned from hippies, with whom they were very popular people, although I ate at home then, and never tried it.

[@johncwhitesell8377]

Road food: bananas, blueberries, raw almonds, roasted pistachios, pretzels, kefir, protein drinks, and, of course, lots of coffee.

[@Birdbike719]

#roadfood something salty, something chocolate, something protein,- nuts, cheese sticks something substantial (bread and boiled eggs or Vienna sausage or small canned tuna)

[@faithrada]

Hmm fav. travel snacks.. grapes, potato chips & sour cream... oh, and those "cutie" tangerines. 🍊

[@ronnyfoulk1858]

I'm glad you changed the channel!!!

[@kiaorable]

I love bliss balls, oat biscuits, oats bars, and caffeine free white chocolate when travelling on the road.

[@OhioGalReads]

That free campsite in Mississippi looked pretty nice. Glad you got your refrigerator fixed! 😎 #BroomMate

[@gailhitson6722]

Merry Christmas, Carolyn! Happy New Year, too! : ) 🌲⭐🎁❄❤

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Happy New Year Gail!

[@seanfallon4580]

Thank you for showing some beautiful scenery, even the colour of the trees are beautiful, Thank you again, love watching your videos Kind regards Sean from Ireland

[@csmoothsk8ter17]

Hi Carolyn hi pretty Sadie girl 🥰🐾🥰🐾 Wow double whammy the fridge and the stairs OMG🙀 Great job replacing that door on your own!! Hope you got the stairs fixed easily? I'm having issues with my stairs right now and getting ready to leave on a long roadtrip Wed. I just need to get the stairs up and and make them stay there!! Have a plastic step I can put outside my door when I stop to get gas etc. And 1 of my jacks doesn't want to go all the way up. Have to find someone that knows how to drain the hydraulic fluid cuz I'm not trying to hear that beeping noise for 18hrs while driving!! Also have to find a way to secure my apt size frig I bought when my big frig stopped working. Sucks when things break and on a regular basis in this rv life. GREAT small businesses, love the Lollymop name❣ Have so much respect for healers/artists and poets💕💕 Thought of Capone when Sadie was looking at you with those big beautiful brown eyes❤🎄

[@shorts.....g.hisglotheprot9489]

MERRY CHRISTMAS CAROLYN.....! OH NO THE RADIO SOUND LIKE LINE SCREW TALKING, I LOVE YOUR GIRL,

[@elainegoad9777]

You'll be lucky to find any thing near a progressive radio station in the south. I can't believe your fridge door fell off. I hope you don't have to buy a whole new door. I'm in Hendersonville NC about 1 hour from "Frog Pond, TN". I like Sadie !

[@regenagroen4631]

#BroomMate Sure can use this since my last Amputation surgery!!! I WILL be watching you Carolyn at CHRISTmas Day, but when I get back from family CHRISTmas!!! I think this IS GREAT that you are helping these small businesses!!! You BEAUTIFUL LADY have a HEART of GOLD!!! Sorry about your frig. door but glad you got that fixed!! And also sorry about your steps now, Hopefully that can get fixed!!! Have a very MERRY CHRISTmas & a HAPPY/SAFE NEW YEAR to you & PRECIOUS Sadie!!!! LOVES/HUGS!!!!

Favorite road food, beef jerkey, wasabi almonds, coffee, water.

[@lindagillespie8040]

#Reiki Carolyn, I hope your steps only had a glitch. Let us know. Sometimes,it seems,when it rains it pours. BUT, the sun will come out tomorrow ‼️Hang tuff✌️❤️

[@bren_artstudio54]

Life...it is always something. One day at a time.

[@elisabethseeger5837]

No, I’d rather live in my bubble and listen to cds Favorite road food starbucks, sharp cheese,soda, fresh French bread and apples

[@lray7421]

I like cheese sticks and grapes...they are easy to eat while driving. Thank goodness for You Tube, I have been able to save alot of money making repairs. Glad you were able to repair your fridge door yourself. BTW Tennessee has 11 NPR stations.

[@biancagoodnight1750]

At least the engine is intact;) Always something Happy Holidays where ever you land. Popcorn 🍿 nuts and chocolate 🍫

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you Bianca! Happy Holidays to you as well!

[@kxrv6629]

It’s definitely always something… our step didn’t ooen for the first time the other day. Then it worked again. Then it didn’t. Then it did and I lubricated it🤞🤞

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Yep, that's what mine is doing now. It didn't work for a month and now it's working again. LOL

[@howardlangford8087]

Merry Christmas and happy New Year 🎉❣️. GOD bless you 🙏🏻

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you! Merry Christmas Howard!

[@danielking5670]

Spicy hot bean and cheese burrito☄️😵‍💫

[@terrybrowning3542]

My door did the same. Has Norcold N611 ordered a metal part from Amazon and glued on with epoxy. It's lasted 2 years and still going good. Probably was the same reinforcement part you got. Safe travels!!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

so glad that worked for you.

[@gracecallowayable]

Awesome!!! Thank you for sharing!!! This was awesome!!!👠🚌👠

[@CarolynsRVLife]

You're welcome Graycee! Thanks for watching!

[@suemartinez715]

Love the music!!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Sue, I'm so glad, I was going for Memphis Blues!! :-p Thanks for noticing.

[@datasmybag6050]

Had my door fall of last year too. I was able to order a new door and replace it within a few days. Even better I was able to figure out a way to keep the door on until then. I had to redo everything every time I had to open it, but it was not too bad and I did not lose any food.

[@MsDJDJ]

#FAV..ROAD FOOD- DOUGHNUTS🙂❤THANKYOU CAROLINE& LOVE THE JAZZ MUSIC...BEST OF LUCK ON THE RV REPAIR..LOVE YA😘& THANKU MUCH...MERRY CHRISTMAS& KEEP THE FAITH😇💖🙏

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Merry Christmas!

[@Saltysouthernauntie]

There is the Pyramid, went to many awesome concerts in there, now it is a Bass Pro! If I had known you were in my area I would have totally showed you around and let ya boondock here!

[@classcchaos3476]

I think I just saw you westbound on I20 this morning in north Louisiana. Safe travels!

[@denisemckiver69]

Until you get your fridge door fixed you may have to take some advice from Red Green, (DUCK TAPE IT ). If it's a broken plastic piece and you can find a library with a 3D printer, you may be able to make yourself a new part. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR CAROLYN from Cornwall Ontario, Canada.

[@peacefulfloridaliving5052]

Nuts with cheese it’s in a package. Yummy get it from Costco or if you want less all grocery stores sell them in round container.

[@dragonflytoo]

"Really?..... REALLY?!" KUDOS for g figuring it out! 👍🏻

[@donwilliams6879]

Great job on the door replacement! I've been repairing residential appliances for 20+ years and I'm going to retire in July of 2022. I'll be hitting the road! I hope that our paths cross. I'm a fan.

[@cyndigrage720]

Hello Carolyn, isn't that the way it goes? If it's not one thing its another, and not just in RV's. On my little farm we always had a saying: "If it ain't broke, it ain't ours". It seems I'm constantly going from one thing to another, trying to keep things going. But I guess that's life. We'll have time to rest when we're dead! #Broommate.

[@talldude5841]

Glad to see your out in the east side of the USA where I live. I sort of got tired of your western part of the country videos, so this is different. I will check out your videos now. Take care.

[@braveheartrv2946]

Could you do a 30 day K-LOVE (radio station)challenge and let us know if theres a difference at all? It made a difference in me on my peace and happiness level bigtime.

[@Ekinnajay]

#Broommate #reiki. Sounds like awesome businesses. I remember when you started having a bunch of issues with Matilda, hopefully this is it for awhile.

[@joanneerickson8000]

Good repair! Life is full of them lol. Happy Holidays

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Happy Holidays!

[@sueg2658]

Red vines. I know they not good for me, and I have not had them in a very very long time. Trail mix is good too.

[@brianheffernan8982]

Glad you got the door fixed, Carolyn. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you! Merry Christmas!

[@michellecollins9650]

Love your Sadie

[@spiridondimaris465]

Good job carolyn with the door you have to have a patients when you fix things good job any way

[@annabellem.4014]

Hi Carolyn, my favorite convenience store food is the pre-made chicken salad or egg salad sandwiches in the refrigerated case. Yummy!

[@jacq3790]

Really love your ability to fix things yourself. My husband and I are new to the nomad life. We lost our home in a Colorado forest fire and have been living and traveling out of our van. #Reiki please

[@CarolynsRVLife]

I'm so sorry to hear you lost you home Jacq. My thoughts are with you. Safe travels and best wishes to you in your new nomad life!

[@gailhitson6722]

@Jacq Carolyn is very resourceful and knows a lot about living in and maintaining her RV! I am so sorry you lost your home in a Colorado fire, Jacq. Hope they had you covered in someway with home insurance. Best wishes in your new Nomadic life!

[@ExpeditionNomadicAdventures]

Escaping the cooler to cold weather just like a snowbird. Go girly! 😊👌🏾😎

[@raynmoonflower9103]

Favorite road food 2 ltr mountain dew & peanut mnm's helps me stay awake. On a healthier note sour pickles and kombucha

[@corneliamulder8144]

Have you ever tried a nonslip liner on your shelves in the fridge to have less stuff sliding around inside while you are driving?

[@OwnedByACatNamedC.C.]

This was a very informative video. Thanks for posting it! Since I’ll be alone on Christmas Day, I’ll make a point to catch your live stream so I don’t get depressed. Oh, & my road food is salt & vinegar potato chips, & I don’t ever forget the licorice snaps!! How’s that for health food?? 🍬😜

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Please join us on Christmas Day! I'm looking forward to it 😀

[@marypinkerton3290]

Sorry to hear hear this Carolyn.

[@russellhancock9765]

Sorry about Your Refrigerator Door. They used to Bungi jump from a bridge in West Virginia. I think it was on Higway 16 or 19. I guess You are leaving, but maybe You can see it if You go again.

[@autumnskyes5633]

😆 #roadfood Well, I'm not terribly proud of this but used to be either a Mountain Dew or coffee and a pack of smokes. In fact I often called it my steak and eggs or just my road soda. These days it's just a coffee so there's that. Way to go handling that fridge door. Safe travels.

[@csmoothsk8ter17]

👍🤣🤣

[@racheljoanfleming159]

I hope you have a blessed and peaceful Christmas. Please know you are in my prayers. Dear God, You know these names, and you know those close to their hearts, and You best know all their needs. AMENN

[@HopeLivesHere721]

Carolyn, maybe your steps not working could be a blown fuse. Check your fuse box and see it there's one for the electric steps, it might need replaced..

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Yep the fuse was the first thing I checked.

[@agateanne6384]

Twizzlers Red! Stop by if you go by. (Tucson Mall)

[@deenalaux5182]

I like to take pics as I take stuff apart so I can put things back together correctly. You were a boss on that refrigerator door repair!

[@marieriddick8388]

Glad you got your refrigerator door fixed #broommate.

[@michellebarlondsmith6243]

Omg hope it's just the magnet disconnect for the steps ... Repairs and RV life

[@CarolynsRVLife]

it never ends it seems. And unfortunately, it's not the magnet.

[@dawnalynn4359]

I was seeing all kinds of redos while you were doing that. Perhaps instead of taking the front panel off of old door just decorate and redo the front of the new door?!

[@russelbaird5499]

I like to make what my family calls - goorpe - pronounced go oar p , nuts , rice checks , m & ms , pretzel sticks , mini pretzels . Place in a large Tupperware bowl with a lid munch when you want . Nuts that you like . Me cashews, peanuts, pecans,any nut you like , raisins or any other dried fruit .

[@suemartinez715]

Try not to give up because of things breaking. We live in a site built home and we just had to have the furnace replaced. Our deck is begging to be repaired or replaced. Our water pressure is very low here in Ruidoso, New Mexico...no fix. We have an rv that we travel in. Repairs happen. Tyrannical possessions! They demand to be repaired. Right? The rv repairs are so much cheaper.

[@doloresreynolds8145]

Unfortunately, it seems that all possessions require maintenance.

[@dfurnari55]

I think we camped in the same spot on the Trace. Lol I got to Tenn. in October and still here at Christmas staying with friends. Here too..... long. Florida or Arizona in the next week. Luckily you got your door fixed, I felt your pain. When your house is always like flying to OZ is sucks. How’s your step 😔

[@NinjaBooKitty]

Yes, normally you should listen to the other side, as long as they are thoughtful and intelligent. In this case, you get a pass. 🤣 (Don't @ me, people, IDGAF.) And yes, that ridiculous mess has a name, that I didn't learn until decades after I started noticing things wearing out faster than they should - it's called "planned obsolescence", source: "The Venus Project". I first noticed it with razors. Now they don't even bother to hide it anymore. Tbh, I'm sorry to say this, but it might be time to think about getting out of that rig and into...? I remember you saying at one point you might ready for a change. Maybe all these repairs are signs that a change is something to consider. I'm sure your intuition will show you the way. 😊

[@dixxebell]

#roadfood M & M Peanut candy!! Duck tape is a woman's best friend in a pinch.

[@dannyboy4372]

Ive had two doors break and fall off.When i complained to the manufacturer,they said well didnt your dealer tell you about the metal reinforcement brackets.I said why didnt u you just build it that way,no response to that question.Of course they blamed it on me,saying i overloaded it......Rv Life....Sigh......

[@chrisr.1803]

#roadfood. Twizzlers is a must!

[@KIMI-xt4eb]

happy holidays ,,,,,,,,

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Happy Holidays!

[@Bea_Yee]

Funny story we have been in our home 25 years we had our home built, so these things happened week after week had to replace our water heater then we had to replace our garage door opener, had to pump out our spectic, had to replace our toilet. And when my husband did the toilet the water line to the toilet broke cuz it was so rusty got water everywhere. Seemed it was one thing after another. I guess we all have to good through this.

[@woodsmn8047]

all plastics get brittle with age some faster than others and how long this took is no doubt planned by the manufacturer...so you will have to buy another unit so they will make lots of money ... so not your fault

[@alexg1668]

#road food trail mix with m&ms so aka candy with a thinner

[@hopefranklin9155]

So glad you are a fix it person. Thank goodness. You are good at putting things back together. Great job on the fridge. Oh no on that crazy step. Seems like always something but you got this. Just breathe. 💕 #BroomMate #Reiki

[@cottageusedbooks496]

I am also a small business owner and that #broommate would be perfect for cleaning bookstore ceiling corners! Thanks for sharing!

[@lovesdogsandbirds5198]

I was relating to your repair work! Good job. There are so many repair type activities I loose my mind doing.

[@Carol-qi6me]

Carolyn WTF…. First refrigerator door and then the step man can you catch a break? Thank you for showing the bits and pieces of how it can go when you’re rolling down the highway. Promoting small businesses what a great thing to do so many of them struggling even harder during Covid. I was a lucky winner last year I’m putting myself out of the running this year because of the admin thing I just think that it’s a conflict of interest 😉. But I’ll definitely check out the website for the Lali mop and the Rikki FB page as well.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

And not to give you a spoiler, but this week the entire left side of my RV roof is leaking.. A Big ole giant mess!!! LOL

[@russellhancock9765]

Sorry about Your Door too.

[@jons7023]

Ok Patsy

My preferred car snack as a Dutchie is liquorice, but I can't get it here in Turkey

[@linsweet2257]

aww sorry Carolyn, Here's hoping for cheap repairs. Safe travels, thanks for posting.

[@faithrada]

Thinking about how happy you seemed back in New England in autumn... it got me to thinking what the best option would be for an aging camper ... and their owner 😉 I'm liking the idea of a little out of the way piece of woodland up north for spring thru fall.. and a trip to warmer climes for winter. I've been a 'snowbird' for about 12 years.. its the best of both worlds. These days having a 'safe haven' seems the best way to go. Stay safe my friend. 😻

[@pianogirl3870]

Admire your "Miss Fixit" mentality! :o)
