Tip: Open the black water first, then open the grey water second. As the grey water is dish water, shower water, laundry water, etc., it will flush out the most unpleasant material from the sewer hose. Then cleanup afterward is less unpleasant. I think the shower was cold because perhaps the water heater wasn't on.

[@michaelmoore9828]

My Tip: Open the grey water FIRST, for a second or two-(to check hose and connections for leaks), shut grey water off. If no leak was present, THEN open black tank until emptied, shut black tank off and re-open grey tank to flush stinky slinky hose! (At least that's how I do it)! If your hose or connections have a leak, you will be SO glad you found the leak with the grey water!

[@jeffkincaid800]

As a 34+ year truck driver, I so enjoy your fresh approach to the normal life on the road and off the road in the United States. I'm so glad that you realized it's ok to change your life plans, ain't no one living it as you, but you! Many of the places you have shown in the States, I've been to, and your venture across the Mojave was so awesome, having spent my teenage summer time with my grandfather in the Mojave, it brought back so many memories of him. Thank you for sharing your adventures!

I loved the episode! I got my husband to watch it with me. He drives motocoach tour buses and he has a CDL license. He got a big kick out of watching you trying to turn the RV! 😂😂😂 But he was impressed by how you handled everything being the very first time driving a large RV. We enjoyed the video. Can't wait for the next one. ❤

[@rich7447]

[@danf948]

@@rich7447 actually, class A is for "combination vehicles," that is, truck and trailer. Class B is for a "straight truck" (no trailer). Buses also fall under that category.

[@n0madtv]

We call those Land Yachts. The idea isn't 'camping', but more like a turtle shell, where you bring your home with you everywhere you go. It's perfect for people like me (although I prefer my yacht in the water) who want to travel but are also a homebody type of person. I hate moving, but I want to move all the time... It's literally just a portable house rather than a 'camper'. There are in-betweens. You can do the 'tiny house' lifestyle on a small camper, small boat, etc.. It doesn't have to be 40' and expensive or luxurious. But, it's still a world apart from 'camping' or van-life style living. You have everything you need, and most of what you want, right inside your own home like everyone else. But with like 85% of the mobility you would have with a smaller camping style. Which, for a lot of people, is the perfect compromise.

[@CaliMeatWagon]

Yeah, I was going to comment that most Americans don't consider that to be "camping".

Good job with the class A. Wife and I sold our house and now full time in a 40' 5th wheel and we love it. It is indeed a lifestyle and not necessarily for everyone. Met some wonderful people.

Started as weekend warriors in a cabin tent, went to a small class C, then an entry level simple travel trailer, finally our "rolling earthquake" 5ver with our beagle and coonhound. Couldn't be happier.

My friend’s mom lives in an RV parked in his driveway. It’s been the perfect solution for keeping an older parent close, but giving her the independence and privacy she deserves. She is gracious enough to allow us to take her home out for a drive once a year. Every summer we go the beach and stay at a RV park right on the water. It has a doggy beach on the bay that we really enjoy with our dogs. We meet new people at the RV park every summer, and everyone has been so nice and laidback. It’s refreshing. I gotta say my favorite thing is how dog friendly the park is. It’s a treat being able to swim, play or dine at the cafe with my dog. I really enjoy RV life. Great way to travel, vacation and live.

[@evazubeck]

Ah that’s such a nice arrangement. And yes it’s gotta be said, everyone I’ve met at RV parks has been super nice!

[@markthomas7442]

Hi Eva, When you introduced yourself and said "welcome to my crib", I almost fell out of my rocker I was laughing so hard. I love when you let your comical presence loosen up and take over. For being such a young lady, well traveled albeit, most of your European verses American views on our cultures are tremendously funny. We are all grateful you're back as you bring much joy to some old bones in our home. Take care and God bless, Mark

[@peehandshihtzu]

My grandparents were snowbirds and traveled the US full time after they retired. Literally every year of my childhood included a visit from them in the beginning of each summer. Every year they had a newer and better RV. They finally landed in the town they originated from and parked their RV in a family lot owned by my great uncles not long before they passed. I swear there wasn't a place they hadn't been. I always looked forward to seeing them pull in, always hated seeing them leave. :)

[@Kesrick]

You can see it in your face that you are in a much better place now than you were a few months ago. It seems like you have fallen back in love with making videos again. I look forward to watching you on your search for your new home base, then as you make a home and venture forward in your life. Never lose that smile.

[@Emg2463]

In 1974 my dad took our family of 8 across the US in a 74 Dodge van and popup camper. We traveled for a month and made it to Colorado with a lot of stops along the way. We always stayed in KOA campgrounds as my dad bought a membership before our trip. Wonderful memories with my parents and my 5 siblings on that trip. He took us out again for 5 weeks in 1979 in a mobile home (RV) minus my two oldest brothers as they had jobs by that time. Got all the way to California that time and we brought one of my friends along with us. So many stories from those trips....my dad is awesome !

[@bretthardin9239]

we made trip from south texas to four corners with the mercury station wagon pulling the rockwood pop up. stayed in koas campgrounds in a different place evry day was a blast

[@jaredeiesland]

Full time RVers are generally the nicest people as a group I've ever encountered in my travels. My first encounter was as a teen when the mountain passes closed ahead and behind us, and the RVers invited all us car people into their homes to stay warm through the night until the plows could get through. We had dinner, played cards, and told stories. In the morning, one of the RVs couldn't close its slideout and the entire group worked together to figure it out and get everyone on their way. 20 years later, I had a clutch go out while working a traveling job in my own car far from home, and an RV pulled over on the highway with me and offered to tow my car and ride with them the 500 MILES back to Oregon, simply because "Oregon sounds nice, lets go see it". It's seriously just like all overlanders who decided to drive a house instead.

[@Opuscus]

That was sweet!!!

[@gregwarner3753]

A long time ago I crossed the USA on an old BMW motorcycle with a yoga mat and a blanket for sleeping gear. I never tried a full size motor home and, given your experience, never will. Now, providing my health improves, I will travel in a Hybrid SUV and stay in motels. It is annoying to have to realize what you could do at 23 is not possible at 77. Next trip is to Newfoundland, Canada this Fall. It will be different because my wife and companion died 2 years ago so I will most likely be traveling alone. That will be different. Again I want to thank you for sharing your life. Take care and stay well. Love, GregW

I named my first Rv "The Leader of the Lost Parade" ...my favorite Rv tip: Dump a bag of ice and a box of salt into the toilet before driving to clean it out. The salt and ice scrub the reservoir then when you hook up and dump it, it's cleaner than it would have otherwise been. It's a good idea to do this before seasonal storage...also, It's FUN to be in the land of the FREE and the home of the BRAVE isn't it!?! Congratulations on all of your victories Eva!!!

My grandfather had a little two seat airplane and would take me flying until he sold it when I was 10. I loved flying, being up high in the air looking down. That's what the book said to me. And yes, I became a pilot. Hmmm, maybe it did have to do with self reliance and positive thoughts. 🦅

Good to have you back

[@daniels.9206]

Long ago when I first began my airline career with Continental Airlines, I was a ground handler. One of my jobs was lav service. Nobody liked doing it. The biggest fear was the discharge hose coming loose. With aircraft, the attach point is always above you so if the hose disconnects, you're screwed! There were a few rampers who got spilled on but I, fortunately, did not. I always made sure the coupler was securely attached and when I pulled the lever, I jumped away from the Smurf truck. We called it the Smurf Truck due to the blue toilet fluid. What was really awful was servicing the truck when taken to the grinder. When you're ready to dump, you take a deep breath and hold it at the same time you pull the dump lever and then you RUN LIKE HELL outside! That is the worst part of ground handling. I had a good laugh when your discharge hose kept disconnecting. Glad to see you like the USA. If you ever come east, give me a call and I'll take you for a boat ride. Don't expect a 40 foot yacht. I'm not from the Wolves of Wall Street.

Wow, you went for the biggest version of this kind of thing. I'm sure you know there are much smaller ones that would be more of what a single person would need. Guessing you went for this to demonstrate the complete opposite of what you had been doing? Have fun I love your content ❤

[@evazubeck]

Yeah, I thought, if I'm gonna experiment with RV life, why not go for the biggest one out there :P

You are such a breath of fresh air. Enjoy young lady and be safe

I couldn't agree more Eva. I've travelled extensively throughout the US since 1972, both for my job and hols, specifically the four corners area, they are everywhere. As you say, there are so many limitations as to where you can go. I prefer your style of travel. Loved going into the wilder placed to see real nature.

They should totally put backing up cameras on the rear of the RV!

[@evazubeck]

They did have a camera but it was kinda warped and I couldn't really tell the distances ;)

As a kid my grandparents would take their 35footer early 70's era motor-home a lot of places. My grandpa could drive that thing anywhere it could conceivably fit. He'd back it up the driveway and into the backyard, the drive next to the house having a drop-off on the one side and a gas meter on the other, less than a foot to spare on that meter just to keep the wheels on the concrete on the other side. Mirrors only, no back-up cameras in that thing.

All of the new stuff does.

@@evazubeck yea, but if you are going to hit something, it beeps to let you know, or it should 😁 ETA: I'm wondering where you gorgeous furry friend is whilst you are staying in this?

😂 learn how to use your mirrors

[@adventure_outdoors]

I've grown up camping in campgrounds surrounded by these giant RVs. I'm not quite sure how I'd feel about driving or living in one! But to each their own 😆

[@evazubeck]

haha I definitely felt like a liability!

[@spote7047]

Great video Eva. Love your energy and zest for life.

[@abqcrutch]

Great video, Eva! Dad borrowed his friends RV 3 times, when I was a kid. Slide-outs didn't exist, but we a great time. That said, we liked camping under the stars even better.

[@tallcigars8152]

I have been watching your videos for awhile now becasue you seem liike a real person who loves America. Its a great place here and we are glad to have a great person like you who loves nature and takes care of our great wilderness here in the USA thanks!

[@stephanledford9792]

I had an uncle who did the RV lifestyle when he and his wife retired. They would make friends in other RVs, keep track of where they were going (and vice-versa) and meet up in different places all over the country. Their RV wasn't as big, but it had everything they needed. They traveled to every US state, including an extended trip to Alaska, and every mainland Canadian province. IDK if they ever went into Mexico, but since their "sticks-and-bricks" home was in Houston, that was a possibility.

[@greyson7379]

Hi! I’m from Houston :)… well Crosby really but it’s only about 30 min out of Downtown. Sending love and light friend ❤

[@leod1671]

Fun video, thank you for sharing.

[@MrHmm...2024]

You're brave. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Hello Eva, the RV is not you. It's nice to have all the conveniences but in the end it's being able to go places off the beaten path. That's your comfort zone. Love you Dearly ❤❤ Harriet and I continue to support you on Patreon. All the best, 🙏❤🙏 Jim, Harriet and Yuki Richmond, Va.

[@NomadLifeKiwi]

We tossed up between an RV and a campervan, and the campervan won for that reason. But it's really cool Eva is trying new things.

[@homey4523]

Finally, you could cook gourmet food . 🥦🍆🍕🧀🥞Not just a quickie camping meal. 🤣 ha ha. You have all the amenities of a real home. That's great ! There's ample room for stretching, exercising, relaxing, sleeping. etc. You feel safer.That's what I call a perfect lifestyle.

[@onduty6024]

Great video...loved it!

[@stpetie7686]

Holy Moly! Jonathon Livingston Seagull! I read that over 50 years ago and it STILL has meaning to me. From what I know of Eva I think it will mean something to her also. Can't wait to see if she comments on it.
