Getting my RV Road Ready//Finally Leaving New York

[@leolaniukeulady4172]

Blessing having your mom. Sweet that you had a good visit, one for the memory’s. Savor the time🙏

[@Hoshigirl0704]

You were so blessed to stay there for 5 months and being able to be with your Mom for so long, I’m from New England and live on the west coast for nearly 50 years now, always went home for my mother, but two weeks is all I could afford at the time. You stayed at a nice time for weather, have a safe trip wherever you land… You are a strong woman. Good Blessings to you and Sadie

[@joycecollins5796]

So nice you went to visit your mother and look after some of her health issues!!! Hugs to you and Sadie---safe travels!!!😍😍

[@laurie7980]

I'm glad you and your mom got back together because your going to miss her when she's gone. Today is the anniversary of my mother's death and I miss her alot.

[@trish7042]

Just a reminder that you are WELCOME here in NM, anytime! We'd LOVE to have you!

[@Birdbike719]

I second that!

[@LillianLouiseInNature]

As you travel Weat from Alabama you may be interested in these Places to visit: 🌟Poverty Point in East Louisiana is well worth visiting and touring Natives built an amazing mound area. It is N of Interstate 20. 🌟In E Texas there is a Harvest Host at Tiger Creek Animal Sanctuary that is just West of Louisiana if you drive Interstate 20. It is North of Tyler, TX and on the TX14. It is near Red Springs. I stayed there in my class C and loved it. Touring all the saved animals was a treat too. Of course there are many interesting places from Alabama into and across Texas, but those two were amazing. Do you stop at Rest Stops? I found they help a lot when needing a break. Many let RVers stay over night at no cost. I learned from you that I did not have to push myself to drive longer that was comfortable.

[@shelleywalker6225]

Good video. Glad that you were able to spend some quality time with your mother. The snow was pretty, safe travels.

[@mep1348]

I've watched you almost from your beginning rv life. At that time I lived in Iowa 2017, Kentucky 2018-19 & Arizona 2020. I'm back at my house in Southern Indiana now. I want to offer my driveway anytime you feel like going somewhere off the wall. My place isnt fancy by any means but theres room for you and Sadie anytime you want. I enjoyed this video. I'm happy to hear that you had a good visit with your Mom! That's probably the best way you could've spent the last 5 months. Stay free and safe 🥰

[@OldMan1962]

What a wonderful opportunity to be able to live with a parent for an extended period of time. Many folks in their 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s will have to step in on behalf of parents. Job well done!!

[@daveogarf]

I appreciate you too, Carolyn! 😇

[@Rose-kp4ow]

I just realized your video on staying warm in the winter was the first nomad video I ever watched! Thank you for all that you do. I appreciate you ❤

[@lmlowe9100]

I just did the same thing. My mom lives in upstate NY...she's 91... I traveled from NM to spend 6 weeks there. Fuel was over $2,000 round trip...geesus..pricesare outta hand! I travel with my dog and cat.

[@jessiehead6525]

Hey, that was actually really helpful. I mean, for a very experienced nomad to just spell out, in a nutshell, how they decide to go “when & where” is super valuable. Thanks!

[@papasmurf1904]

I am soooo darn glad I found this youtube channel......Carolyn is the bomb! Soooo interesting and down-to-earth! 👍😉😃

[@sunsetatshabooms4558]

I'm so so happy for you that you were able to forgive & work out your issues with your mom. I wish I could do the same. I'm not there yet & dont know if I ever will be.

[@bettybrigance6784]

Your a good daughter, I know your mom enjoyed and appreciated you and Sadie being there for her...safe travels...

[@ronnyfoulk1858]

I'm excited about getting to share your upcoming adventures. I really enjoy your time away from people, and more into nature. There is so much more out there to lose yourself in than what society has to offer. I also enjoy the times you share inside your moter home. It says a lot about your videos when you share the way you live. I'm so glad I found your site.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@LittleMo777.]

Have fun on your trek to the West. I look forward to seeing your travel videos! Come back through Arkansas and you can dig for diamonds at Crater of Diamonds State Park! It has a campground and there’s a lot of COE campgrounds nearby too!

[@catman256able]

Hi Carolyn it's good to see that you love your mom. You're such a good person. 👍✌️🙏🎏

[@Richard-b4f8b]

Maybe this will warm you up a little bit it was 89° here today in Mexico. Come on down. 😊

[@KatMac5]

When I was in Cabo baha... an earthquake.. just the ants came out. You go girl... So glad you addressed your mother's vulnerability.. Love.

[@rosedzindolet-faith5092]

So Glad you were able to help your Mom & have a Great visit 🤗❤️

[@KerryBond-z6h]

hey a great way to get rid of the corrosion on the battery cables is pour coke over the terminals.I had AAA come out one time for a dead battery and the first thing he did was pour coke on the cable and he started it up.

[@donnaduffy65]

❤ love Sadie in slow motion ❤️

[@michaelzorro2738]

Yes, Carolyn Check with your Mechanic friends the noise can be your Power steering...

[@Splash99]

I'm going to miss your N.Y. visit. I went home vicariously through you. Thank you. Usually if the fluids are fine and the trans shift smooth and the engine doesn't race.. it's in the rear end. I personally would have that fixed asap. Mechanic are plentiful in Alabama. I'm shocked that you don't daily pre and post trip your vehicle, for your safety and the safety of others, on a daily!

[@willhunt3857]

Your hair looks much nicer with it natural, not that it was bad before. It just looks great now. My ma is 89 and had to be coached on one of those scams, although she did not get taken. Sadie acts lots like my Malinois, Sarah.

[@leolaniukeulady4172]

When you get to So Cal, give me a shout out. Have 30 amp service and a flat spot to park an rv. Country in So. Cal.

[@0thereviewer586]

Safe travels..

[@RVG9]

I’m an upstater, New Yorker, Albany. so glad you spent time with your mom. There are so many beautiful 0laces in upstate NY. Love to be able do what you’ re doing . I’m still going to do it, I’ll get there. Thanks for visiting our state. Hope you enjoyed your travels.

[@jennifer1872]

Could the noise be the timing chain ?

[@Simpletruth-t3q]

So glad you were able to spend time with your Mom.😊 Again, youtube is messing with the subscribe , I am constantly RESUBSCRIBING,,grrr

[@kathyschaefer2455]

I only get to see my mom once a year and only for a few days. I know you have to be glad to be heading out of the cold. Alabama is beautiful if you go through Gadsden, AL there is a water fall there that is beautiful. Changes all the time. I lived down there for some time and miss going to Noccalula falls. There is a campground right next to it and there is room to park close to it. The first time I went there I had no idea the falls was there. It comes out from under the road runs down a little ways and drops 90 feet. There is a park right there so it’s easy for you to get to it. You can pull it up on line and check it out. Have a wonderful trip.

[@nancyadamson6755]

I plan all my trips the same way, I'm in no hurry so I'll stop for the night somewhere and it's depends on if I need propane or to give my house battery's a 24 charge. I'm in Tennessee headed out west to Yuma Arizona, I might stay in New Mexico for a while. Who knows I'm just gonna enjoy my travels, You do the same.

[@Bluebirdtears]

Real nice intro with the nature footage and musical background. Such a visual storyteller. I'd love to see more of this. Your skill set is admirable and I know you've worked hard to achieve where you are. I'm glad you're still doing your thing. You are such a courageous woman! You evolve like a rainbow through the clouds. You are now a double rainbow!! U da best!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

thank you. I literally have more than 100 videos like this. Star poking around you'll see them!

[@priscillawrites6685]

Love the music you choose for your videos.

[@pategerstaffer4519]

Best way to plan a trip - open an atlas, close your eyes & point ❤ Love it!!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Love that!

[@kimprocarione5473]

I've been to the Corpus Chistie area of the Gulf Coast. Going in August sucked but it was a family emergency. It was beautiful, though. San Padre Island is in that area. Friends of mine there now are sending sunny pictures 😊

[@allencheck501]

Hope you have a safe trip no matter which way you decide to go, we will be watching ,dont forget to stop and say hi to the organ mts

[@shootingsportstransparency7461]

You will have problems with the corrosion of your ground cable and switch near future, try to sand it clean and neutralize the copper oxide with baking soda. Once everything is clean and dry, apply some Vaseline

[@Debbie_T_FL]

Sounds awesome! Safe travels 🥰

[@esotericsolitaire]

The "your package is stuck at USPS due to insufficient address" is one I've been getting. I believe the scammers are gearing up for the holidays. Glad you got to stay in NY. Sounds like it was fun.

[@Birdbike719]

I've gotten that one, too.

[@getlostwhenwondering393]

I am glad you were able to spend time with your mom. Sadi seems to enjoy her kettle ball.

[@SpknTC13]

Hi Carolyn & Sadie!! Cheers! ~M

[@ocny4468]

New York is beyond special. Vastly underestimated, a land of incredible magical beauty. We do most of our travel in the Northeast and New York never disappoints.

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Having grown up here (mostly), I didn't appreciate it much until recently. It is beautiful.

[@rhondacooper3565]

Happy and safe travels!

[@Toltecgrl]

Thank you for taking us along! Sending you Blessings on your next endeavors in traveling!! Can’t wait to see more! ❤❤🙏

[@brendahipskind5522]

If you get a chance, visit Lake Guntersville, Al. Beautiful area.

[@sky02148]

I'm so happy for you, the fact that you got to spend so much time with your mom. I hope you got the video, not to share with us but for yourself, I think you'll appreciate it almost as much as you do the time you got to spend with her. I miss my mom so much and always appreciated having to take care of her at the end. Wish I had more videos and pictures of the past 15 years with her though. Thanks for sharing. Love ya Nancy

[@Tina-eb8hz]

I watched this last week but didn’t comment. I am from Rome, NY- Adirondack Mtns are beautiful. 🌻❄️ we moved to N.C. in the early 80’s. Glad you have enjoyed your time in N.Y. You are a caring daughter , ❤️ 😮5 months is a while but what a wonderful time it looks like you had there. Beautiful country and gurl it’s nice to leave there too. Ha, ha, ha Thank you for always sharing your travels and life. Be safe, be kind and be free! 🚐🐈‍⬛🫶💕

[@michaelzorro2738]

Thank you for sharing, Be safe - travels...

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thank you! Will do!

[@larajackson7506]

Sadie is so smart and so beautiful!! She looks like she could also be your emotional support dog!? Thank you for sharing! Continued prayers and love for you and Sadie!!! I wish that I wasn't allergic to animals, I could really use that support!!! They are such great friends!!!❤❤❤❤❤😊

[@AnneeGonzalesgranneeannie60]

Great to hear you had a great visit with your mama 😊 I'm trying to make a savings for traveling. Thank you for those knowledgeable videos, they have helped me to know how to do those figures. Another great video Carolyn. Have a great and safe trip ❤

[@dreamingmusicgal]

Happy and safe travels wherever they lead you to. Blessings!

[@bthomson]

Scammers are a bane to our existence! I am so very sorry that your mom experienced that. It can cause a lack of faith in mankind! Luckily you restored her faith I am sure. Kind daughter!

[@TeriDuncan8049]

I live on the Ny/Pa border, in the lake effect snow zone, have seen snow a couple times already. Was wondering when you'd scaddadle!😊 When I get my rv I figured I'd leave in early October to make sure of missing ALL snow 🌨️

[@maryminnix4549]

Carolyn, if you haven’t already, check out the area of Texas that’s considered the Hill Country. It’s very pretty through there.

[@1bobbylarue]

Burrrrr, yes, time to head south. Enjoyed your NY series this summer. Not what I think of when I think of NY. Thanks for the new perspective.

[@marilynruby9395]

Miss Patreon had rig issues Rig is good now. Happy Winter safe journey from M and Bo the cat❤🎉

[@Tom-yy9xj]

I enjoy watching your travels I never have liked traveling myself except on forest back roads, never liked long hikes but sure enjoyed a lot of short ones, I live in the forest so I don't have to hike far to be lost in the wild. I hope you have a stress free trip west and stay ahead of that snow ❄️

[@larajackson7506]

I stayed with my aunt in Alabama for a week, several years ago, very musquioe infected at night, but very nice, if prepared! I live in Pennsylvania and would love to meet you, but I work a lot at Walmart, so don't know if our schedules will work together, but I know that our Walmart will let traveler's stay overnight, as long as it's across the parking lot! Be safe and well Carolyn and Sadie!❤😊 continued prayers and love for yas!❤❤❤

[@thizizliz]

The variety of topics you cover keeps your content interesting. Dog training, hiking, back packing, boondocking, campground and why you do and don't like particular types, beautiful places, cool food stores and so much more. PS 7am in Joshua Tree and 64F. Today's high almost 80, tomorrow's 60. Winter is coming. But tomorrow we'll be in Palm Springs getting hubby a new hip so we'll be warm there too. If we get snow it won't be for another month but since it's El Nino, we might have snow for Christmas - at least on the mountains around us. Happy travels - and good for you for helping your mom out. I'm constantly battling hubby's trust in people.

[@brandywilliams6106]

Glad you could spend time with your mom. Nice hat!

[@CarolynsRVLife]

Thanks so much

[@bettybrigance6784]

We all love you two girls..😊

[@shirleybrumley8421]

[@bigrobsvan]

Feel free to announce the next time you're coming through Oklahoma and I'm sure many of your viewers would be glad to point out some interesting things to see and do.

[@solarwind1985]

Best of luck! Ny is nice in the fall. I love watching your channel and watching your journey. Best of luck and I’m looking forward to watching we’re you go next.

[@VanIife]

You gotta make it to Lake Havasu for the HOWA Caravan in a few days!

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

Glad you are making memories with your family. Glad it was a good visit and safe travels back to your normal stomping grounds.

[@Shelty6]

Bummer that we didn't get to meet since you were in my area. I have a class C also and would have loved to camp with you for a couple of days.

[@Ravynblk08]

Hey Carolyn have you had them check your motor mounts yet? If not you should. Be safe!

[@Birdbike719]

Would love to have you come back to NM (now that its not on fire anymore). So far only snow in the upper elevations (Taos,etc., but it won't be long) If you're doing Texas I suggest visiting Padre Island. Its beautiful and not crowded in the winter. Also a National park so park pass discounts are applicable. Safe journeys ahead for you!

[@poges]

Loved your video. Good to hear your plans.

[@NickyBoy-tq8xn]

Have​ a​ good​ day!

[@Sharon-pf2te]

Hey Carolyn safe travels back to some warmer climates.

[@craftytraveler9238]

Great to know that you are going south. I am planning a trip to Tenn to visit my niece. I will leave CA in April and gradually travel east. But before I go to Tenn I will dip south and stay in the other southern states and go around to the Carolinas to visit my friend in NC.

[@vallaseel2500]

If you find your way into Arkansas I would love to host you at our place. Also, in Texas there is beach camping for free at most of the beaches

[@maschwab63]

Big Bend National Park is pretty warm.

[@barbararussell374]

I know that at times your trades may bring some difficulties. But, when you talk of choosing your route on a day by day, I feel that you have truly captured the spontaneity and adventure if your RV lifestyle. I'm so happy for you and Sweet Sadie.🐶❤️

[@barbararussell374]

Travels, not trades!!!

Nice that you spent so much time with your mom and were able to help her gain more knowledge on how to navigate the scams going around. I wish you and Sadie well in your travels west away from the cold. Take care😊

[@valeriefrench9405]

A lot of complaints that boondocking camp sites are hard to find in NY state.

I’ve never been to New Orleans. My other half was there for a conference a few years back and loved it. Safe travels and hugs to you and Sadie!

Safe travels lady and so much respect taking care of moms namaste.. Sadie girl so cute..

[@dragonflytoo]

I just purged 😂. It feels great and rig is likely 50lbs lighter.😂

[@donnac.1609]

Could be noise from front or rear differential? If they drain the fluid they can check for metal filings and if too bad, they can advise on what needs to be replaced . Gears wear as they turn.

[@ediejohnson3301]

It's exciting to me that you're going to do the Gulf Coast. You give a different perspective than most KZbinrs. I'm really looking forward to it! As always, I wish you safe, happy, trouble-free travels. 🤗

[@barbrawatters3913]

I recently had some sounds in my 87 dolphin. It was my timing chain. Have they checked that?

[@barbrawatters3913]

Ps....I would give ANYTHING to have time with my mom again. I'm sorry it took something awful to initially make it happen, but glad it turned into 5 months of memories that you will both cherish forever!
