Propane possible tip. I was told to open both tank valves, when one tank is getting low, so that when the primary tank [the one that the arrow is facing} runs out, the secondary tank will continue to supply propane. This buys you some time through the night, before having to refill the tank.

[@TheBorderHookups]

You are correct. I usually do that when I know that the first one is getting low. Thank you for the advice! 😀❤️🚎

My two favorite youtuber's here chatting at one time. I can't believe your video said 2 days and I haven't see it until now. I had to drive like 18 hours the day before yesterday and 12 hours yesterday , but we are in Mesa , Arizona today. We are just resting up for a couple of day, and enjoying the rain while we get caught up on sleep lol . Loved the video thanks so much for sharing it with us.

[@TheBorderHookups]

Hey Jeff. Those are some serious miles. Be safe!!

[@mikeweis5925]

You never disappoint. Thank you for the update.

[@TheBorderHookups]

Thanks Mike! 😀😀

[@larrymiller8210]

You guys are awesome! High on my list to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheBorderHookups]

Thanks Larry! We really appreciate that! 😀😀

That atv looks like a ton of fun, we have to see if maybe we can rent one when we come back in a few weeks. We were there during that storm too and yeah, between the short days, the angle of the sun, and the rain and clouds we had to run the generator a few days as well. At least with lifepo batteries they charge a lot faster than lead acid! Great tips as always - love the 'leave it cleaner than you find it' principal! That dinner looked great - love cauliflower rice... See you guys in a few weeks :)

[@TheBorderHookups]

Those side by sides are fun, but I’m not sure if I would pull the trigger at this point. Jim and Lori were so nice and trusting to let us try it. ❤️❤️. Generators are definite bonus. Looking forward to seeing you guys again!!!

[@mrsvwag]

Hey, I’ve been in that vehicle. It is fun!!!

[@jeffboquist3904]

Awesome lifestyle 👍🏻

[@TheBorderHookups]

Thank you! Yes, we are very fortunate! 😀😀

[@k-mparker]

Goood video guys!!! We pick up the trash as well when boondocking or at a campground…like you said, leave it better than we found it. Going to try that recipe…sounds and looks deeelishush!!! 👍😃🍻

[@randyshay7280]

Like to see a video of you guyz hang gliding!

[@TheBorderHookups]

😳😳. Yikes!!! 😂

[@barbarapalmer268]

New to your channel. Enjoyed your video. Hope to make it to Quartzsite some day.

[@TheBorderHookups]

Thank you! Quartzsite is definitely an interesting place to visit. Welcome aboard Barbara. 😀😀

[@UncompassedLife]

We were about as far away from you folks in Quartzsite as we were from you in MN when we were in our sticks and bricks! Too funny!

[@TheBorderHookups]

Well…. let’s remedy that!!! 😀😀

[@barbarasidelko1682]

We have our little motto; leave it better than we found it. There’s always some trash about. 😢

[@TheBorderHookups]

Yes!!! 😀😀

[@randall6890]

Hey Dave & Jacqueline, I’ve been watching you guys for a long time and I’m proud to be one of your fans ❤. I often wonder how people/you get started into full time RVing? If this is to personal, then forget I even asked the question. 😅 TC

[@TheBorderHookups]

Not at all. We spent nearly 2 years watching RV videos after deciding to go full time. Research is very important. We are very proud to have you as a viewer! 😀😀

[@garybeshears5632]

You both are so cute 😊 from Barbara in Yuma Arizona

[@TheBorderHookups]

Thank you Barbara! ❤️❤️

[@kevinsterner9490]

Hey guys good video. Just curious I thought you ran a diesel heater. Saw you filling propane tanks so got me thinking . Keep the content coming

[@TheBorderHookups]

Hey Kevin. We do, but our fridge and stove run on LP, so unfortunately we need it.

[@golfinfool7233]

Hey Dave. I you haven't run a good quality fuel system cleaner through your genny. Sea Foam does a good job eliminating the surge you are getting. I use it on pretty much every tank of gas on all of my small engines

[@TheBorderHookups]

Awesome. Thank you for the tip!!

[@kenschmitt7064]

Are you going to be at the Grand Design rally in Quartzsite?

[@TheBorderHookups]

We will be playing it, yes. 👍🏻

[@Bubba-wx7lp]

Grand Design using junky frames Good luck ..

[@TheBorderHookups]

@Bubba-wx7lp All of their frames are junk???

[@timaz1066]

Dave, you should’ve just parked close enough to Nathan and you could’ve plugged into him. L O L. I’m looking forward to seeing you guys on 9 March. Hopefully it won’t be too warm.

[@TheBorderHookups]

Oh, we do. 😂

[@dougd9944]

What fun..😊 Thanks Dave ! for picking up others Trash. Such a great example for all of us to follow. 😊😊

[@TheBorderHookups]

[@jodyclarke7481]

[@burlingtonbill4687]

Hey guys. Weather has been a little different this year here in the LTVA by Senator's wash. As the days get longer and quite a bit of sunshine the solar has been great. Looks like fun on the side by side. Keep rocking the music! Burlington Bill here and on You tube.

[@TheBorderHookups]

Lots of wind this year.

[@user-ng6ct9kv1k]

Cool talk about how you appreciate Dave’s willingness to talk with folks. We are all Gods children. Safe travels. Ken and Sherrie
