Excellent podcast!!! I really like the interview on Love's RV Stop.

[@ncylee4]

These sites look fantastic. Just downloaded the app. Loves has fantastic coffee too 😊

[@mikemason746]

I stayed in several of the Love's RV stops during a cross country trip last fall. They were very convenient to reserve and check in (all on app) and well designed. My only concern was that I was starting to notice an inattention to maintenance, but they were just getting started then.

[@alicial6072]

I think the Love's camping is a great idea, I'm assuming they are near destination locations as well, but a great idea for stops along the way and it sounds so convenient, I'm sure some people like all the amenities but I would prefer instead cheaper nightly fees instead of the amenities since I wouldn't use them.

[@airstreamer]

That is really great news about Love's! Sad to hear about Cracker Barrel. Hope they are able to keep going. Glad the crack was found before there were serious consequences. - Michelle

[@nomadnorm]

I like loves , have stayed. I have a gas class A with a toad. Getting gas is hard at a lot of loves. I wish they would have an rv isle for gas.

[@jimhart821]

We live 5 minutes away from Cadillac Ranch Amarillo Tx. Not every day is windy, but it is normal and just a regular day. Palo Duro Canyon is deep, so you will have some break. Our Love's does have a new, very nice Rv park.

I switched to the Plant Based lifestyle five years ago, and have never looked back. I don't think I could put an animal product in my mouth now, with the exception of some occasional cheese. Loved your Class B series. I'm currently having a Ford Transit High Roof Extended built into my new home. Thanks for your informative videos.

Sweet - more meat 🍖 🥩 for me

[@kristimoman4159]

Galveston diet is absolutely one to check out.Liveable and helps with hormones.I also added a European hint like not drinking during your meal.except sipping on wine.❤love ur channel 🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@dianepatrias979]

Appreciate you guys. Thanks for the great podcasts 👍🏼

[@stormdriven1]

How Not To Die, and How Not To Diet are good books to help enforce your plant based change. 2 of my Dr's recommended it to me 2 years ago. It opens the mind up about changing eating habits

[@Criquette-df8tv]

What great info! Just downloaded the app! Thank you!!

[@terrysandiego]

The Cracker Barrell nearest me in Oregon opened in a mall center with no RV parking and it was often hard to find car parking. No wonder they closed. The only time we went there, the food and service were not up to their reputation.

[@snowbirdgardener]

Here's my camping progression: Year 1 Honda Element Year 2 VW Eurovan Camper Years 3&4 Ford Transit Connect Minivan Year 5 Ford Transit!

Best diet is not to diet at all, just eat healthy. Before you load it up read the label, you be shocked what they sneak into the food. 6 weeks ago I wanted to drop 8 pounds, well that day I crashed of the ladder and hit the concrete floor. Well after a run to Emergency and scans they told my that my T12 vertebra was cracked, all that stress and pain made me loose 8 pounds of weight in 10 days, lol one example of loosing weight

[@pattie5267]

THANK YOU

[@ADriftingLife]

We’ve done ALL of the diets and the only one we lost muscle mass was Plant Based. I was cooking up a storm - doing it as well as we possibly could and we both lost weight but unfortunately mostly muscle and when you are above 60 years old that is not a good thing. You do you but beware of that one important thing. Good luck and Good health to you!!

[@lindasteller]

Patrick Baboumian, who, until a few years ago, was the world's strongest man, is plant based, and had no trouble with muscle mass. Elephants, rhinoceros, cattle, etc., have no trouble adding muscle mass, and they are all plant based.

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

There are MANY body builders that are plant based!!!

[@teresasprouse1097]

We have used several of the loves rv campgrounds. Only complaint is the dog park is used constantly with people that are stopping by and not staying in rv park.

[@hollylarsen8944]

You should check out a Chinook Bayside ~ dry bath! They have those at Sunshine RV!

[@chipsrafferty8362]

Get the Love at Loves and the boot at Buc ees

[@RVLifestyle]

That's the truth. RVs are not very welcome and Bucees.

[@susanvanhorne1619]

We stayed at a Loves RV spot. The only problem was the announcements almost all night long telling the truckers their shower was ready

[@cjv6052]

Is loves rv sites coming to California ?

[@annettemills2399]

We went through Colorado, and Montrose, a couple years ago and at that time didn’t do Black Canyon because of construction on the same Rt. 50. They said the delay could be hours. That park just can’t get a break!

[@mgysgtk8835]

This summer i saw a 4 slot, back in, site. Electric only. No sewer. No water. If you want a shower inside Loves, they charge you for a shower. So it cheaper to go else where and we did. Loves $45.00 RV site + my shower + then my wife’s shower = RV resort fee. I suggest drive on. He must be talking about the ones west of the Mississippi. Those i hear are more like an RV park. East of Mississippi they small. $45.00. 4 slots only. Plus you have to detach from your travel trailer. There not enough room for my trailer and truck. My RV is only 21ft 6in. I right now don’t see a cost savings from what i saw. Cost equals a full hook up regular campground. Plus i can stay hooked to my trailer..

[@rvtalltales9327]

I pay less than 40 at many state campgrounds, I would not pay that to stay at a gas station.

[@kathiebauer5165]

Excellent information, as we get ready to travel do you recommend an app that will route you advising as to low bridges/tunnels that is easy for seniors to use?

[@tankiescraftingmom4381]

I preferred loves just going in and staying the night and heading out now they want you to pay. I probably won’t stay there.

[@stevewoods8116]

Less than 3 minutes in and I was commenting about the Canadian Geese. Don't care for them.

[@iamfaithfullyhis]

Sugar free, grain free. Low carb. Veg & meats! Butter, olive oil, avocado oil! So simple so delicious no measurements! Your blood work will be great! No statins needed!😋

[@terryandsteve1]

Comment: We have been plant based for many years and can vouch for its benefits. You CAN do this! It will be so worth it. It will be the best thing you've ever done for your health and the planet. I would also suggest "How Not to Die" and the follow up book " How Not to Diet". Lots of documentaries - Have a look at Forks Over Knives. It's very encouraging.

[@timboehm8700]

Sweet - more meat 🥩 🍖 🍗 for me!

[@Kingskruisin]

I'm plant based. It will help cholesterol. Ove had 2 kidney transplants and it bumped my function up 10 points. Good luck

[@jag5798]

I just subscribed to your channel!

[@suecrets5169]

I would only stay at a Loves if you don't have trucks coming and going all night. Some look like they are separate and away from trucks.

[@elizabethsantoro7332]

No Canadian Geese -- only Canada Geese. 🥰😉🥰

[@wstafco]

Mike and Jen. Why would you trade in your class C or B+ for a regular class B? I believe this is what you were exploring recently right?

[@RVLifestyle]

No, we were just reviewing the changes that have been made since we owned a class B. As we said in Part 6, they are just too small for us.

[@carmenmarcinkiewicz7149]

Look up Dr. Neil Barnard and Dr. Gregor. Both AMAZING doctors who recommend Whole Food Plant Based meals.

[@dorisshanks7295]

Instead of a Statin, ask about Gemfibrosil.

[@sherryjones7736]

The love's rv stops are great, but the price is definitely too much for a truck stop/ gas station to stay overnight.

[@geraldineevensen7267]

I was told that the rv s made during the pandemic were made crappy because the company's hired people off the streets that knew nothing about it . That is why people are having so many problems with their rvs not up to snuff. they are falling apart.poor machanics.

[@ToddM452]

Nope no RV icon there

[@geod3589]

Beautiful views for sure, until they are bulldozed to build RV communities.
