[@airstreamer]

There is so much to see in Michigan. Soft sand beaches, lakes, woodlands, craggy coastlines, and no tolls!

[@richardvandenarend8149]

The Open Roads app/TSD has a toll transponder you can get. Makes all of those tolls easier to get through. Especially out east. Might want to look into it.

[@MrRemphoto]

If you ever run the Pennsylvania Turnpike be sure to get an EZ Pass as the already confiscatory tolls are double without it. Works in Ohio, WVA plus most east coast states.

[@eafc2112]

I've lived in Michigan most of my life, after spending years in Atlanta and Charlotte. There are so many amazing places/things to see and do here. The entire West coast of MI is incredible.

[@mikegardiner335]

If I were full time I’d get a 12 volt as well, I worry sometimes that the RV frig just doesn’t do a good job of keeping things cold, other than the freezer. Great video, thanks.

[@thevagabondonwheels4918]

My only knock on Cracker Barrel breakfast is that the one thing that I crave there more than any other are those little cornbread muffins and they usually don't have any at breakfast, at least in my experience as they are considered a lunch/dinner thing I guess.

[@lifestidepools]

Don't take the Chicago Skyway - ever - take 294 to 80 or 94. You can get around it without those tolls (some tolls but not Skywat tolls) but not the traffic

[@judycatrambone2352]

Love seeing Louie in your videos! Great idea about using the koozies! I grew up in Chicago and now live in Tennessee. I go back to Chicago multiple times a year to see my granddaughter. I have my GPS settings on "no tolls" it doesn't add any measurable time to the trip, but does say me lots of money. Especially that one toll of $7 for only 3/4 of a mile in Indiana just as I you leave Indiana and enter Illinois.

[@yooperdog]

Grew up outside of Chicago I know tolls. We now live in U.P. if you're ever up this way, Manistique has a new campground and there's also Indian Lake State Park. Our you could dock at our place 10 minutes from kitch-iti-kipi. We're on a dead end road easy in easy out.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks appreciate that! We will make it up that way at some point in our travels!😊

[@c1dancer]

Enjoy the videos of your travels. Three suggestions 1. Have you considered a dc to dc battery charger to increase the charge from the truck while traveling? 2. Have to considered a long neck wide mouth funnel for filling you fresh tank from a bladder or container? 3. While we were full timing we had a few issues there our rv was unavailable to us overnight. We always use a hotel rewards point visa card so that we can accumulate rewards for hotel nights is we are out of the rv. We have one time where we had leaks around the slide and developed mold. That time we went on a cruise because it was going to be over a week and the cruise was cheaper than hotel rooms and eating out, Just something to consider,

[@alaska-bornfloridaman]

The DC to DC charger is a must. The seven pin charge is negligible. 👍 It's a lifesaver when traveling on rainy or overcast days or at night.

[@IreneIronTravels]

We do have a DC to DC in the truck already for our truck battery and the Dometic cooler, but I don't have one for the RV. Not sure if 2 of them would stress our truck alternator... but it would surely help. Thank you !

[@c1dancer]

@@IreneIronTravels how about some kind of switching device that you could switch from one to the other or set one up on each battery?

[@IreneIronTravels]

👍👍 that’s a great idea!

[@JR-playlists]

I’ve lived here my whole life and never used the skyway or Indiana tollway. 90 to 39 to 88 to 355 to 80 is the way to go. Next time……

[@schlz69]

Hot tip on the Cracker docking, you are on an end parking spot with grass on your door side, we will often pull in the other way and ask if we can run our slides out so they are over the grass not intruding into the next parking spot (we cant access the bunk room, fridge, ect with them in) and usually they are like "yea sure whatever you need" same with running a genny for the night if its super hot, but we always ask.

[@johnhines3591]

Price of all those tolls could have drove around. We run fridge on propane while driving all the time. Propane isn't that expensive. Fridge alone, 1 tank will last over 1 month. Cheaper than the tolls you just paid. Modern propane systems are different than the old ones. If concerned, add a gas stop to tanks. Changing out fridge is expensive.

[@larryvincent2098]

As always informative and entertaining!! I enjoy your videos !! Thank you for sharing this video with me!! As always BS & BK and TC

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks again Larry BS, BK & TC!

[@aprilfensom6412]

AWESOME idea with the koozies.

[@coztod]

You’re welcome to moochdock here in Grand Rapids, MI. Just sold our 2013 Interstate and have a covered spot in our driveway on our 5 acres with 30 amp RV power. Been following you guys since the interstate days and would be happy to meet y’all.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thank you, appreciate the offer! We are not going to make it to Michigan this time.. but we really need and want to go. We'll keep you in mind for next time we come through. Thank you!😊

[@kylezenklusen2041]

12v fridge is the way to go! Tonnes of space and super efficient. Running an everchill 10.7 cubic feet. Its huge, and works amazing. Enjoy yours! Stirrrrfry sounded good too

[@RVIZHOME]

We traveled from Shipshewana through Chicago 5 years ago and it cost $70.00 in tolls with our Dodge diesel and 32 foot Coachman 5er. We learned our lesson and refuse to travel ANY toll roads with the RV. If we are going west from Michigan we either go south of Chicago or head north through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

[@danrandall794]

Another great video. I ABSOLUTLEY REFUSE to pay tolls. My rig is a little bigger than your first one so pretty nimble. I have my GPS set on avoid all toll roads. I will drive 500 miles out of the way to avoid a toll. Okay, don't need to go that far out of the way but if you thought Aaron had a little rant you don't want to hear me. And if you really want to get my blood pressure up just ask me about the light rail trains in MN. Happy trails to you both.

[@ruthweigh5507]

Ive always been told the DEF at truck stops is fresher than the stuff in the box..interesting

[@TheGrayMatters]

Louie is adorable! You guys should get him a harness with the safety belt that attaches to the seat so that he’s not quite as confined, but still safe. :D Love y’all’s videos!

[@lizarnett8501]

Obviously, Scott, you haven't researched that Louie is safer, as well as Aaron and Chris, in a crate. Those pet safety belts fail crash tests, and always hurl the dog around in a crash,

[@kenandgwenhislop3176]

Great video guys, we changed out our refrigerator in our Tiffin Motorhome with a 12 volt refrigerator. Love the extra space and no more propane. Looking forward to your install video.

[@gratefuldude7511]

Lou being a Basenji is also a sighthound which is a group of dogs which include our whippets that hunt by sight. They do like to get out and run which is difficult to find someplace safe for them to enjoy a good romp. I was he had done some hunting and left his prey for you. Really enjoy your videos. Forty dollar toll is more than crazy. Stay safe.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thank you! 🐕

[@goddukee]

Most folks in America don't realize, lots of toll roads in the country are not owned by the state. Privately owned and most from out of country. Isn't it nice to support other countries with the huge tolls

[@TakeATripTogether]

Oooh, you should definitely come up to Michigan. Hug the Lake Michigan shoreline and you will find so many beautiful spots to visit! Wow, that fridge sounds like a huge upgrade! Yes, Chicago is crazy to drive through... especially during rush hour. Eeek! And the toll. Ugh!

[@AtLastJustUs]

It was great to meet you at Twin Mills RV Park! Really enjoying both channels!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Nice meeting you as well Michael, Safe travels! 😊

[@janetbales9749]

About 20 years ago. I drove through Chicago ME… freaking out….. got through it. It really wasn’t bad, mid day too. But still will not drive though Seattle, I go around to void traffic there.

[@janespanoramicrvadventures652]

When Driveins thru Chicago take I355 to the west side and I80 across by Joliet to Indiana. So much faster, less traffic.

[@joycemoses2411]

Smart idea for the koozie for glass containers! Love our 12 volt too!

[@remusallrod]

Fellow Minnesotan here. You should have gone over the top, many great RV opportunities down through Michigan. Not to mention the thrill of crossing the Mackinaw bridge with a trailer. I avoid Chicago and it’s ridiculous tolls

[@goranj6680]

Next time stay under Dan Ryan expressway to Bishop Ford expressway and that'll take you to 80 94 no tolls

[@janpiper3068]

Your should map out a tool free route and enjoy the sceanery. Even with high gas prices you would feel better about things and not so stressful.

[@penelopebartell840]

Leaving Indiana in the spring we took the back way into Chicago along the shores of the lake in order to avoid tolls on those crazy freeways, and avoid the bridges! It worked! But we hit tolls on the way west and ended up paying later over the mail. I hate stopping at toll booths! Too stressful.

[@IreneIronTravels]

They always get ya! 🤣

[@alaska-bornfloridaman]

I am also in the process of replacing the RV absorption fridge with a Danfoss (Norcold) compressor 12 V. . It's pretty obvious that they're very proud of their product when you look at the price. But I'm doing it for the exact same reasons you guys are. Good luck.

[@buzzwolf1930]

Why don't you have an EZpass? Saves a fortune and good over the entire east coast. No charges for the card. I got mine from FL although I live in AR.

[@justjim7019]

Was giving thought to 12 volt refrigerator decided on 3 way refrigerator to have propane backup. Good luck with your new refrigerator.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks Jim. Had it for about 2 months now and are really loving it. Best part is now the majority of the solar goes to charging the batteries in stead of running the fridge. After running our AC all night we went from 40% to 100% by 11:30 am in our big 810 ah of lithium batteries.

[@rick102363]

Hey Aaron, love the channel. Be careful purchasing the bulk def from the truck stops. It’s known to cause issues with sensors and particulate filters.

[@milesgentry850]

Tolls what a rip off,aren't we taxed enough,oooh Cracker Barrel is nice to dry camp❤️KOAs gotta love❤️

[@dondartt684]

Looks like you have a lot of experience.

[@rebeccaj5252]

A couple of things here......Chicago actually just sucks. I am originally from North Dakota and live in New Hampshire and have been driving this route for 35 years, it has never been good and takes forever, we use to have to stop like every 1/2 mile and pay a toll and they were like 35 cents, 10 cents...etc. Looking for a different route to take my trailer home through.....Indiana's toll system is a joke for the amount they charge. I live in toll charging areas and not even Boston is that expensive. I love Cracker Barrel overnighting....I have also worked the breakfast menu to be healthier, but I love the Pecan Rolls. Nice to know about the staying there, we ran into a guy who worked there all night in Tennessee this spring and that was by far the cleanest one we ever ate at, but he told us that he is in there all night. It is nice to see we all help each other out. Thanks for the fun videos, I learn so much from you two and Louie

[@sanjo6224]

We love our 12V fridge but need to upgrade our solar and batteries to be able to boon-dock. You two crack me up - we enjoy watching. Maybe next summer a meet up in Mn or Wi? I can’t believe the tolls.

[@IreneIronTravels]

We keep hearing comments on a meet up in WI/MN..so I think we need to do it! 😊 Glad to hear you like your your fridge!

[@rachaele349]

[@christinaputney659]

Great Video! The tolls are a great welcoming committee back towards the East. I live in NJ so I won't get into the tolls😡 As soon as you get up to the speed limit you have to slow down to go through another toll. 😄 Anyway, good to see you rolling down the highway. Enjoy your travels. P.S. EZ Pass is definitely overcharging us for our 19 foot class B 🚐

[@campingalan]

Hi Chris and Aaron!! Awesome video, as always!! I look forward to hearing about your 12v fridge experiences. Bleh...yes, those propane fridges on electric from the solar system is a battery killer, for sure!! We started a drive at 8pm at night and by 9am, we were down to only like 25% of our 500amp hours of battery left :-( We are heading to Mexico at the end of the month!! Safe travels!!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Hey Alan, hope all is well! I think a 12volt fridge would work awesome with your great electrical setup!! Have fun in Mexico!!

[@jeroldharter]

I suggest a good water filter (I use the 2 stage Clean20) followed by an RV water softener. That way, the water in your tank is fit for service. We have a 24RLS and commonly drive with full freshwater tank.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks for the suggestion , we need that!

[@dani_mack]

We don't have tolls in Vermont, but our taxes are super high. 🙁

[@IreneIronTravels]

Boooooo 🤨 we feel ya …we’re hit pretty hard as a small business in MN as well!

[@joemiles6917]

You could have gone I65 south to US 30 east. A company we worked for made us do that in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Sorry didn't know you were going to Michigan. But there are other roads to miss the tolls.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks!👍

[@YT-MY]

I have avoided illinois tolls for ~20 yrs. We do go between MI and WI couple times a year. Skyway (now private toll system) is not needed since alternative route (I94/I80) was widened, especially when you avoid rush hour, which you really need to do regardless of route. I often go thru Milwaukee but best bypass (single short toll) is I80 though best used when going to Iowa. You apparently can get away with 2 toll nonpayment each year, before they mail you a bill. You can register your plate online to auto-pay your illinois tolls though they charge you the old cash rate (2x) with this system. I do wonder if you double paid the Skyway toll or the second toll was Indiana. Could have gone through MI I94 for free.

[@derrick1964]

You had a lot of hilarious stuff in this one 🤣

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks Derrick😊

[@Kevin-hm8bx]

Were you not able to put your slide out because your trailer wasn’t level or because your weren’t able to manually put down your jacks for stabilizing the trailer?

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes, mostly because we were not fully level... and we try not to at Cracker barrel

[@Liimpy]

What's wrong with burning propane?.. it's it virtuous thing to save the planet or something else?.. i own 2 x 12v fridges and my propane fridge out performs them both, the 12v struggle in really hot temps vs the propane.. safe travels, glad to see you back on the road

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks 🙏 glad to be back on the road! Interesting, our fridges are the exact opposite of yours, propane struggles in temps over the 80’s as well as really cold temps. The 12 volt compressor fridges just seem to be more consistent on the inside temp no matter where we are. On the propane thing… its really just more of a pain to refill them while traveling full time. It’s not sold everywhere, it’s not easy like finding a gas station with a app or Google. ( maybe someone should create a app 🤔) . The propane fills go out of service often or the “ only guy who knows how to use it” is at lunch break. 🤣 come back in a hour! Just a hassle. We do use it for our propane Weber grill everyday and if we’re not using the furnace we can last 6 plus months instead of filling up every month.

[@cocochanel9291]

Madtown ! My old hangout area. And yes the tolls around Chicago are the most egregious grift I have ever experienced. Having said that come to Ontario Canada and see what we charge for our 407 toll highways. #Fleeced ps Hi Louie !

[@nancysmith903]

I didn’t appreciate the chatter about getting your new frig and how great it would be and then all of a sudden it was there without any explanation. Where? When?

[@IreneIronTravels]

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks! Lots of practice from our Van days! 🤣 kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5Ocg4OlhKqlm6s

[@ROLLMEAWAY]

There's no such thing as a safety overflow. You have a fuel leak! Usually where the fill tube connects to the fuel tank. GET IT FIXED!!!

[@IreneIronTravels]

It was the diesel exhaust fluid tank that was leaking after I filled it, but I'll get down there and do a double check on everything . Thanks!

[@garymunson9195]

Finally glad to see the new refrigerator! Thank you. Since I am also getting an ORV soon, I've been thinking about what to do with the spare tire (don't like it on the back bumper). I haven't noticed your spare? Where do you store it?

[@IreneIronTravels]

The spare is in our truck bed…. But takes up some space! I briefly looked into a under mount for the RV and will probably go that route. I was hoping it would fit on the Rv tongue behind the propane… but it didn’t!

[@garymunson9195]

My last trailer it was underbelly and I loved it. I asked the dealer on my new RV and he said they haven't been able to do it (hangs too low). I think they don't want to mess with it so I'll figure a way to get it done elsewhere. I'd be curious to see if you make it work. Thanks for your teply.

Excellent video guys. I have a question. Your dometic fridge does it have a quick recovery for cool down. Have a safe journey

[@IreneIronTravels]

I don't think it does, but it does have a performance mode and 5 cold settings... It only took about an hour to come down to temp, when we first installed it. We actually have to keep it at 3, because 4 was freezing our produce! It is much more constant temp than our previous and is only around 50 watts.

It would have been longer, but coming out of Chicago stay on 94. Skip the skyway. Take 94 thru Indiana. Get off at hwy 20 and then take 20 or hwy 2 into Elkhart. Then you skip the Indiana toll road too. No tolls. Use to do this route all the time to get to South Bend.

Nice job on the photography on the intro ! We just got our new ODRV (had a Jayco prior). Like yourselves we really wanted to get a 12v fridge; but as of 8/5/22 ODRV's it was not an option. Will anxiously await your install video. We learned the same lesson in 97' with a 32' Class A going thru Chicago. It was really high even back then. We don't have toll roads out here in the PNW..

[@billangelo2190]

Hi Guys, nice move on the frig, hoping by the time I'm ready to make the move, ODRV will option in some modern upgrades. One other would be the shower mizer. If ever a 3rd channel, " Louie knows how to Travel ". Glad you're happy with solar and battery bank. Was the RV wiring gauge sufficient or did you re-wire. Safe travels.

[@jesserevilla992]

Our 1st TT we had an 12V compressor fridge and knew we could never go to a dual Fridge using LP so when we upgraded this year to our New Grand Design 22mle a must have was a 12V Compressor fridge 10cubt and ours is a Dometic. But loved our previous NorCold 10Cubft which i feel was a better Fridge. They build theirs from ground up. Much colder better functional interior shelving. We have towed 17 hrs with Ice cream in the freezer and no issues! Love the 12V & 7 pin connection which helps us while towing we only have a 165watt solar panel. We're not boondockprs. Just an over night at a Rest area or Crackle Barrel etc
