Time for Texas! We traveled more than 1,000 miles from Ohio to Texas in our Grand Design Momentum fifth wheel toy hauler. And let's just say it was an adventure... In this episode, we share some of our mishaps including a new lesson we've learned despite being seasoned RVers, our first boondocking experience, our fuel costs and a stop at Buc-ee's- the most iconic (and record holding) "gas station" and travel center in the world.
What's next?

I'm 67 and never visited Texas until last year. I flew down to SA both times and loved the vibe (River Walk, on-and-off bus, etc.--so much to experience in the town). Also spent several days around New Braunfels and Hill Country. Looking forward to exploring a lot more of Texas with my RV. I just pray gas prices get back down where they were before the current administration took over. You are my type of people. I'm from the Evergreen State (Washington). It's beautiful and home to 3 National Parks, but . . . it's so hard to be red in such a blue state. God Bless America 🇺🇲

You are really good at making interesting videos! My husband watches RV videos a lot. Most of the time, I think "WOW! This is not that good." Your first video is much better than people who having been doing these videos for years. Love the way you showed the quick repair on the way and the Buc-ees tour! We have never stopped a "Buc-ees" so it was very helpful. We traveled with our kids when they were little (one was handicapped). It was tough but some of our favorite memories were those trips. Keep making videos. I subscribed. Can't wait for your next one.

Great video. I love how you don't hide the problems. I am a first time watcher and I just subscribed. We never leave early either. The latest we have ever gotten out was 5:30 pm. In all honesty though the car broke down a couple of miles from the house and we had to limp it home and change vehicles. That was before we bought the RV. We have a 2006 42' Class A Monaco Dynasty diesel pusher. We tow a Lincoln MKX. The latest we have ever left in it was 4:30pm. It was the day we picked it up. The last thing they had to do was install our tow gear. After a quick light's check we found the guy had wired the turn signals backwards and that had to be redone. Then we had to figure out how to put the car in tow mode. When we finally left the dealership it was 4:30pm on a Friday in Tampa Florida in the rain. Being in the rain in rush hour traffic definitely taxed my stress level. We finally pulled into a Cracker Barrel in Brunswick Georgia at 12:30 am. For the night. I slept like a baby. Other Class A 's were there running their generator so we did too. We are all electric and in the South we wanted those 3 roof top air conditioning units running. We have never been to Buckee's but we look forward to one day. Looking forward to your next video. 🙂

Disagree...I am a disabled widow who had a small child with transition issues when we traveled...The only way to take the stress off and get an early start was to just get going at whatever time that was that we were ready! Often it was dinner time and sometimes after when I could get everything done and in the RV, so we drove down the road and slept in the Walmart...just a few miles from home. It took the stress off and made a super easy, early start the next day. Plus it was just fun!

A fun trick to solve the issue of getting everyone ready and out the door with a late start...do it the day before the trip starts! It takes all the pressure off to casually get ready and on the road sometimes before dinner, sometimes after dinner...and make it down the road even just a mile to the local Wally world to sleep. It has many advantages...it makes for a really easy start the next morning! And the fun and excitement get to start the night before with sort of a test run before putting miles on, in case something was forgotten. Enjoy the journey!

Enjoyed watching your trip and I have some tips for a safer, more relaxing adventure. 1) Add some reflective tape to the sides of your slide-outs so drivers can better see when it is deployed in rest areas. 2) Start looking for rest areas well before you get tired. If you get one sooner, take the break. 3) DON'T rely on MacGyver road fixes... GO directly to the closest part store or dealer and get it fixed right!

@@halkench Correct. A lot of times the "No Overnight" parking is a way to allow them to keep out homeless that want to spend a week or more in the lot. I've stayed in several Wal Marts that had the 'No Overnight Parking" signs. I simply go to Customer Service Desk and ask if it's all right. I've yet to be turned down. I asked about the signs and was told it's only for those spaces the signs are in because that's how the delivery trucks get in, and RV's have been parked there keeping the delivery trucks from being able to get in.

I'm so sorry you had such a serious problem with your RV. Unfortunately the new ones are not made well at all, that NEVER should have happened! So glad you could rig it well enough to not be stuck on the side of the road. We have been RVing for 12 years, been through 4 RV's, all 5th wheels. We bought a used one to start and now I wish we had kept it. Then went through two new Jaycos (back when Jayco was truly Jayco, now it's been bought out) and had significant trouble with both of them. Now have a 2006 model 5th wheel that was top of the line when new, it's given us no trouble. Nice to get in and go where you want and not worry about the RV. I wish you all the best in future travels!

Thanks for watching! When we bought our first RV, we had never even been camping in one before. We spent a lot of time watching videos on KZbin of other families doing this and decided we were just going to jump right in. It has been such a great experience for our family. We hope we can provide you with more insight about what it's like in future videos. If you have any questions, please reach out!

Just found you guys, love ya! We're full-timers from Pennsylvania and I love how you did what you had to do to keep rollin, AND with kids and K-9's. I think it's great that you have a great, safe set-up to go down the highway with. I retired two years ago, after 45 years driving semis. Bless you and your family, have a safe journey!

We did pass a Home Depot before we got back onto the highway but I swear it was the smallest Home Depot parking lot and entrance I’ve ever seen! So we kept rolling, we checked maps and there wasn’t a Lowe’s or Home Depot that wasn’t a good bit out of our way so we decided to just keep checking on it and ended up fixing it at the campground.

Our new favorite rving channel. The trials and tribulations are a major part of traveling in an rv, however the rewards are much greater. Harbor Freight has a Predator 3500 generator that we used for 4 years when boondocking and it ran one ac, microwave, and kept the battery charged. We kept it locked to the bed of the truck and never unloaded it to use it. Make sure the exhaust is clear and pointed towards the cab. We are looking forward to your ventures.

I’ve been looking at the predator generators for a while, they seem like a great option! As we move to full time we’re going to come up with a decent dry camping set up. We are happy to have you following our channel, keep the comments coming!

Part of the learning curve of RVing. Good experiences for future travel trips. Cool McGyver moment with those pliers. Might a good idea to get a cheap tackle box and fill it with a variety of nuts, bolts, washers, screws, hose clamps, etc. As well as a cheap tool kit. Have fun with your new toy!! Aslo, are you running 1 or 2 batts? 2 in parallel last a lot longer. Or a generator. Surprised you rig didn't come with one. Worth the investment.

My first thought was that you would use a ratchet handle in place of the bolt. It’s nice to see a young resourceful person I wasn’t sure there were any.

We got flooded in our Class C the same way. Forgot the pump, vibration turns on water, flood. We now ride with the sink strainer upside down in the sink so it won't drop down and plug sink, just in case we forget the pump. Great video. Crummy you had issues along the way.
