Full Time RVing - Boondocking Outside the Grand Canyon

[@genekied]

Haven't been there for 15 years but spent a lot of time in the Kaibab near the Canyon, the elevation makes it a great fall option when the rest of Arizona is blazing hot still. First time seeing your channel, like the format with the short sequences and tips, both the health and RV tips were spot on.

[@TheBorderHookups]

Thank you! We love the Kaibab area. Top of our list. I appreciate you for watching and commenting! 😀😀

[@gailjohnson6670]

Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.

[@karlmopete]

We love our ryobi chain saw. Perfect size for the motorhome.

[@TheBorderHookups]

They are crazy powerful. I saw someone use one up north and it cut like butter.

[@rancher1111zz]

Another good one. Thank you.

[@TheBorderHookups]

Thank you!! 😀😀

Happy Belated Birthday Dave!!

Thank you!!! Heading to Vegas for U2 to celebrate! ❤️🎶

[@dougd9944]

@TheBorderHookups I hope there as good as they were in 1997..LoL We saw them at Sam Boyd..They were Great !!

[@jesserevilla992]

Man I had to comment again; love this entire vid; finally Full timers showing us how they camp, making a morning fire 🔥 etc… And in the evening some Whiskey/ Bourbon distiller needs to sponsor you for your night cap with campfire spirits ….

[@TheBorderHookups]

I love it!! Spells trouble, but I love it! 😀🥃

Good stuff guyz☺️

[@TheBorderHookups]

Thank you!!! 😀😀

[@earlreaganjr9381]

I really enjoyed your video. Good review of E-bike. I've not seen this brand before. Good RV tip on keeping up w emergency gear. I used a swing tool case in back of truck bed on passenger side to store all road emergency equipment. That way I'm not on road side trying to get it out.

[@TheBorderHookups]

That sounds like a good plan. Keeping it all in one place. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!! 😀😀

[@earlreaganjr9381]

After getting up before 6 AM for most of 45 years, I almost never get up before 8 AM anymore ..love that late morning coffee 😊

[@TheBorderHookups]

Yes! You earned it! 😀😀

[@sherriewilson4379]

Good review Rookie😎. Cool for you guys that you have hit the point where companies give you goodies to review👍 Did you do the review at Sonoita fairgrounds?

[@TheBorderHookups]

Hi Sherrie. We are actually going to be shooting a video on the community of Sonoita. We love the people. ❤️❤️

[@bobanddangsjourney]

Great episode! Last time we were in the grand canyon area we stayed in williams but we did drive through the forrest and made plans to come bqck qnd boondock - looks like you guys found a great spot. Nice bike review as well - we need to upgrade our 20+ year old mountain bikes one of these days. And that dessert looked great (happy bday Dave) we will have to give that a try. Looking forward to seeing where you head to next - safe travels :)

[@TheBorderHookups]

Hey Bob and Dang. Thank you! Are you guys going to be in the Southwest at all this winter???

[@bobanddangsjourney]

@@TheBorderHookups Yes, we will be in Quartzsite around the 20th for a week or so, and again for the G.D. Rally at the end of February. Our home base is in San Diego and we will be here for a while too. Give a holler if you are headed this way!

[@timaz1066]

When I saw you guys last June in Island Park, I had just come from Eugene Oregon having True Toppers put on my coach, so I don’t have to mess with slide out toppers or sweeping off the slide out. I love them. Thanks for the video.

[@TheBorderHookups]

Nice! Always great hearing from you Tim!

[@jeffsteele1295]

Its seems like a long time since your last video lol. Loved the electric bike Dave lots of nice features 750 watt rear motor and 15.* ah battery super nice. Was that a pine tree limb you were cutting ? That pine tree catches up fast for starting a fire because of the pine oil inside the pine tree, but can smoke you out and hickory smells a lot better . You are just past my home state Alabama but I have done a lot of deer hunting in Mississippi. Can't wait until your next video thanks so much enjoyed every min of the video.

[@TheBorderHookups]

Thanks Jeff! It was a fun video to make. Yes, I believe it was a pine. Easy cutting. Ugly as it may have been. 😂

[@DENTALSourceofCA366]

Hi you two. Thanks for the e-bike review. We are in the market for two. Almost pulled the trigger months ago and am glad I did not. Haven’t see the hiboy brand yet. Thanks again. Oh, and RCPM ROCKS! 😉✌️

[@TheBorderHookups]

Hey Jim. Yes, we love RCPM!! Thanks for the comment and let us know if you have any questions. 😀😀❤️✌️

[@jenniferhuffman1835]

Really appreciated the ebike review. Hubby has a Lectric bike and liked hearing about another brand for me to consider.

[@TheBorderHookups]

Hi Jennifer. Thank you for the nice comment. It really is a fun bike. It is pretty fun to ride.

[@thomastheys6681]

Great video guys I want to get my weight under control and I want to get a little coaching on your video production. I’ll see you guys soon at the bash. Thomyt

[@TheBorderHookups]

For sure! Let’s chat!

[@mikeweis5925]

Planning a “bucket list” Grand Canyon trip in 24/25. Is the diesel heater you have now the same one you did a video on almost a year ago? If so, are you still satisfied with it?

[@TheBorderHookups]

Hey Mike. Yes, it’s the same heater and we can’t imagine life without it. You will love the Grand Canyon! Thanks for the comment!!!

[@jesserevilla992]

Excellent Review and your voice over is Pro 🏁 Never heard of the bike until now. Good looking and simple and light for its size in the Electric bike fat tire category. The matte finish is sweet. The meter is awesome since it’s very visual in the sun. And that take off is called “Torque” lol

[@TheBorderHookups]

Thanks Jesse. It was a first for us. 😀😀

[@reneebragg5790]

Where is the boondocking spot near Grand Canyon? What is the forest road number and what road is it off? Where is it in relation to Kaibab Lake Campground ?

[@TheBorderHookups]

Hello. I have been looking at maps. It’s off the Coconino Rim Road or Fire Road 310. Look for the Grandview Lookout Tower on GPS for directions. Have fun!! 😀😀

[@matsulli2086]

Great job on the ebike demo. Definitely worth a look. What a great camp spot! Nothing better than coffee and a morning camp fire! Appreciate the reminder.

[@TheBorderHookups]

Thank you! The review was more work than I thought. I have a whole new appreciation for the people who do it on a regular basis. Enjoy that coffee! 😀😀

[@kevinsterner9490]

Fun video and great review. Which regional park did you stop at? If it was Cave Creek that’s 2 miles from our house. Keep the content coming

[@TheBorderHookups]

Hey Kevin. We stopped at Usery Mountain. Thanks!!

A few years ago we boondocked off of FR-310, the Coconino Rim rd. here, 35.964019, -111.966200 We even saw a Mexican gray wolf walking across the clearing there. We also boondocked for 2 weeks overlooking the north rim here: 36.441874, -112.075916 . We recommend both spots.

[@TheBorderHookups]

Cool! We need to check out the north rim for sure!!! 😀😀❤️🚎

[@AdventuresoftheLandNorth]

I would love to sell my house and try this lifestyle for a year but I can’t get my wife to leave our two grand babies for more than a week. For now I will have to live vicariously through you two.

[@TheBorderHookups]

We are glad you are along for the ride!!! You’re welcome here! Also, we have heard from many people that it’s hard to leave those grand babies. 😉

[@serinehart]

Great looking area, another nice video but I recommend the slide out toppers, they will make some noise if it's windy but if it gets to windy you have a 50' nylon cord to throw over it and tie it down to keep the wind from getting under it. Never liked the thought of bird poop being brought inside our rv. Stay safe.

[@TheBorderHookups]

Good points! We love hearing the different perspectives from people. It’s what keeps everyone moving down the road. Safe travels!! ❤️🚎

My apology, I had beans for supper!

Dave, do you shower every day, cause when you got close to your camera I could smell you!

[@TheBorderHookups]

Always saving water. 😂😂🤣🤣

[@mikeweis5925]

Really enjoy seeing some of your routines and things that happen in daily life. I thought your bike review was great. You did not appear to be a salesman - you were just laying out your thoughts. I have to agree that was one ugly fire, however you did redeem yourself on the last view of the fire. Safe travels.

[@TheBorderHookups]

lol!!! Yes, it was pretty ugly. Thank you for the great compliment on the review. It was a bit outside of my wheelhouse. 😂

[@richardhoward3462]

Oh god, not another e-bike review.

[@TheBorderHookups]

Right? they are amazing! Also- there was more to the video. 😀😀

[@richardhoward3462]

@@TheBorderHookups seems I am the only curmudgeon in the comments. Sorry. I enjoy the videos but I hate seeing every rv channel doing e-bike, battery box, and mattress reviews.

[@TheBorderHookups]

Hi Richard. This was our first review. We had always wanted e-bikes, so when e-bike companies started reaching out, we jumped at the chance. We talked about it and decided that we will only do reviews for things that we truly use, and items that our viewers will mostly find value in. We announced on our page that December will be e-bike month. We, along with other channels receive multiple offers daily. Most have no value to us or our viewers. We are working to get to point where we can command quality items that we can give away to our viewers. We truly love our viewers and we want everyone to come along for the ride. I apologize for the lengthy response, but needed to explain. We really appreciate your support and comments!! - Dave

[@marychristie6194]

So I just fast forwarded through your mountain e bike commercial-really tired of e bikes, Brooklyn Bedding, snap pads and on and on 🤯

[@PSD9737-ML]

Easy for you to say. For viewers like you and I to enjoy great content like the Border Hookups provide, they have to periodically review products. Great video guys!

[@TheBorderHookups]

Thanks Vince. We really appreciate that! ❤️❤️
