I just watched the Anchorman 2 RV crash scene. I can't believe how well that thing was built. Plus all great actors under one roof. Go Baxter. Great name for a dog.

[@charlenejohns8055]

I love watching this young family, just wish their videos was longer.😊

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Charlene! Thank you so much! We added an extra few minutes of bloopers in this week's episode just for you. LOL. All the best, Pam & Lee.

[@TexasJimmy55]

You need to look into the TSD or TCS fuel card. You can save on every gallon of diesel you pump; of course, you have to get it from the truck stops, like TA/Petro. You go to the trucker pumps to make your purchase. There are several videos on the TSD card and FMCA for TCS card. The TSD draws directly from your bank account and the TCS card you load the money onto the card. For instance, I saved $282.10 in 12 fill-ups with the TCS card.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks for the great tips! We LOVE finding cheap gas! There are so many cards that only save you about 10 cents. The EFS Card (TSD) has huge savings across many different truck stops. Love it. Thanks again and all the best, Lee

[@jeffboswell6620]

FYI lots of fireproof safe options on Amazon for around $40 (Sentry, Honeywell, etc). Most likely you can find one at Walmart. Hope this helps

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Jeff! It does indeed. As long as it has a fire rating...we are good to go! Best, Lee

[@EdwardBeltz]

get fire bag for your paper. lighter and easy to store.

If you don't have a quarter at Aldi, I've used the back of a key inserted to unlock the carts. Just make sure you get your key back, and you can't have too many tools :)

[@kathleenrutherford733]

Great Video, Shopping is very time consuming, Costco is a great place for Propane, at least here in Bakersfield CA

[@wandadruhan9935]

Our Costcos in Nova Scotia, Canada have propane. I just assumed they all did. We don’t have a gas station at ours like they do in other provinces though, so I guess it makes sense that they don’t all have the same amenities.

[@robertclubs9908]

Hey my friends

[@nextupcamping]

Maybe I'm out of touch with today's shopping trends, but I have never seen a place charge for using a shopping cart. I learned something new today haha

[@discoveryboundrv]

We love Aldi for the low-cost shopping. It has been proven to the be the best deal when it comes to savings. The catch....you have to have a quarter to unlock the shopping carts. They say it helps with cleaning up the parking lot and not having to spend money hiring people to gather shopping carts all day. It's all fun and games until you forget to bring a quarter....LOL. Pamela is German and we used to go shopping at Aldi when I was stationed there.

[@nextupcamping]

@@discoveryboundrv ah that makes sense. Yeah haha I’d be in trouble. I never remember to keep change with me.

[@jimblair2692]

Great advice for full time RVers to get a Fire/Waterproof Safe. As an extra step make photo copies of important documents and have them at a family members house or bank safe box. Especially your INS documents, passport and drivers license numbers. We got ours at Walmart. It’s like a small file box.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Jim! Great tips! The safe doesn't guarantee anything, but it's a LOT better than having them in a drawer or under the bed. LOL. We have met so many people that have experienced the worst and they all say the same thing... How hard it was to get everything back to normal without their documents. Photo copies stored online is a must! Thanks again. Pam and Lee.

[@jefflaib2135]

Great cheap lunch but Costco in California you need to show your membership card to buy hot dogs and such

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Jeff! That's so crazy. $1.50 hot dogs are almost non-existent anywhere else. We went to a local high school football game and the concession stand was selling them for $4.00 and they were half the size. LOL. We still walk out of Costco with hundreds of dollars of stuff though. They got us with the hot dogs..... :)

[@edmorse3529]

Great video!! Don't feel bad, diesel in CA is $6.05 now. It was $6.99 a month ago!!!

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Ed! Diesel is tough across the board, but we still remember our trip to Sacramento and how expensive fuel was while we were there. Such an amazing place, but we need to save up a little more before we head back again. LOL. All the best, Pam and Lee.

[@davewilson8308]

I know you guys probably hear this all the time but how is it you only have just over 3K? I’ve been watching for a few months and what a great family channel and you guys are comical. Thanks for what you do and I’m sure your channel will get bigger.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Dave! Thanks for the support. Actually, we don't have enough people on our channel to hear that all the time. LOL. (kidding) Believe it or not, we aren't really focused on growing the channel. We are probably the worst at "YouTubing" and we actually do things that make the "KZbin algorithm" suppress our reach, Like not saying "Follow Our Channel", "Like & Subscribe", having too much music, etc. Totally not us. Our focus is aimed at sharing with the RV Community and hopefully we are getting a little better at our video editing. Honestly, we are happy just having great people like yourself enjoying our journey. Thanks again and all the best from all of us here. Pam and Lee.

[@darrylt5300]

You need TSD Open Roads fuel program / EFS diesel fuel card

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Darryl, Great tip! We got the EFS card early on. It’s a definite MUST HAVE for any RVer. Fuel in town is normally cheaper than the truck stops near the interstate. The station we went to had the cheapest fuel in town and EFS didn’t save us any more. This video was recorded in March so we are a little behind. It went way up right after that.

[@kevinherm3036]

@@discoveryboundrv Did you look in the EFS app and find a truck stop that accepted the EFS card? And you always have to fill up at the truck pumps too.

[@TexasJimmy55]

Usually a fire rated safe is lined with something like 1/2 to 5/8 thick drywall (not sure if its regular drywall).

[@davewilson8308]

Fireproof drywall!

[@darrylt5300]

It could be worst you could be in California was $6.59 a gal where I go and I went to AZ Prescott and Costco was $4.99 per gal. My truck holds 65 gal. so it cost $430.00 to fill-up

[@discoveryboundrv]

That’s crazy. Our dually has the standard 48 gallon tank. Our highest so far was around $6.20 a gallon in Maine. Painful!

[@shanedenmark5536]

Where is that warplane display at 0:40?!?

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Shane, it’s called “Warbird Park” right outside of the Myrtle Beach International Airport.

[@shanedenmark5536]

@@discoveryboundrv Man I need to get back to Myrtle Beach. Where did you stay? We always stayed at LakeWood campground when I was a kid. My aunt & uncle swear by Pirate Land. We were in MB for the 2017 eclipse (or as my son called it, the apocalypse) but that was a hotel stay.

[@calvinfiscus5838]

Did you get a safe for the rig? What did you get.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Calvin! Yep, we actually found a great one at Lowes. It’s a Sentry Safe and it cost about $30.00. It’s fire rated which was the biggest requirement we were looking for. The safe isn’t for theft, but mainly for crash or fire so our stuff is protected. Just a little bit of insurance for the worst possible situation.

I’m way behind in my comments to you. Perry and I watch all your videos and enjoy everyone of them. Myrtle Beach looks like a fun place to visit and the board walk is very nice. Sorry the diesel prices have gotten so expensive for you. Perry said to tell Lee a guy can never have too many tools. Stay safe and look forward to your next video. Marilyn & Perry ❤️❤️

[@patrickgrahn2238]

In Sweden it`s between $9-10.

[@discoveryboundrv]

That is such a wild thing to think about. Not sure if Ford SuperDuty Diesel Dually's are a common thing on Swedish roads. I'm sure parking would be a challenge as I remember from being stationed in Germany. Even back then, we had fuel ration coupons because the fuel was so expensive. Thanks again and all the best, Lee & Pam.

[@phildonnell6930]

Have you guys thought about a truck safe? Ford makes them that fit in the middle console. I have a 2022 F350 Dually and seen them. We also just bought a Jayco North Point FLRB. Keep trucking! Hope this helps. Love the channel

[@discoveryboundrv]

Thanks Phil! When we outfitted the truck we checked a lot of boxes like 4x4, upgraded suspension, and even the truck safe. We love having a secure safe in the truck. We are pretty sure this will become a standard feature in all of our future truck purchases. :) Congratulations on your new Jayco North Point. Keep us posted on your travel adventures and all the best. Pam and Lee.

[@tkilg7169]

Just curious about the circuit bd, whether or not it fixed the furnace. Most of my furnace problems have been something clogging the jet which feeds the venturi of the burner, but my fiver is a 2005 model......pretty old. This youtuber...'My RV Works, inc.'....has some very good instuctionsl vids on furnaces and other RV appliances. He's helped me a lot.

[@discoveryboundrv]

It did indeed. All we did was swap out the circuit boards and it fired right up like a champ. It's been working great ever since as well. We knew it had to be the board, because everything else checked good with the multimeter. My RV Works is fantastic!! I have learned a few tricks myself from watching his videos. Sometimes, all you need is that one little bit of information and everything else is easy. We fixed our mid-bunk slide motor after watching him change one out. I said, wait a minute.....it's that simple??? LOL. We traveled across the USA with that slide not working. All the best, Lee

Diesel prices are nuts 🥜 n how is your truck on fuel ⛽️

[@kevinherm3036]

You really haven't mentioned it but what about the maintenance on Maximus? Are you doing your own oil and filter changes, fuel filter changes, getting your tires rotated? You can save so much money doing most of the maintenance yourself. There are some upgrades that you do need to make though. You can also get a 68-70 gallon fuel tank to replace your stock 50 gal tank too if that is more feasible rather than losing your truck bed to a large fuel tank/tool box combo. A great channel for you to watch is kzbin.info/www/bejne/jovbf32Ha7t8i9k and the video is about a fuel filter upgrade for your 6.7 powerstroke and he also has a video about adding the disaster prevention kit for your CP4 fuel pump. kzbin.info. He gives you some great information for keeping your vehicle serviced as well.

[@discoveryboundrv]

Hi Kevin, amazing info and thanks for the references. Much appreciated! We service Maximus every 5k miles with both oil servicing and fuel filter changes. It’s excessive, but since we tow full time it’s worth it in the long run. I will be changing the cabin air filter myself in a future video coming up. As for the truck mods…we would LOVE to incorporate each one of them but they are still on our wish list. The fuel tank replacement is probably the best all around mod that is the most beneficial. We will definitely look into doing that soon. Thanks again for the great tips and all the best! Lee

[@kevinherm3036]

@@discoveryboundrv Always much cheaper to re-fill your propane tanks rather than exchange them too! Yes, 5k is overkill if you are using a good synthetic oil like Rotella T6 or Amsoil. Watch some of the RV transport videos--most are going 10k and doing fuel filters every 20k to 30k. They always have extra fuel filters with them too so if they get into some bad diesel causing a problem, they can correct the issue quickly. A set of Ford filters are around $83 (fuel and Oil) from autozone and if you are having a Ford dealer change all of that, lots of $$ like $350 to $400 or more but then they like that easy work! We have a 2022 Keystone Raptor 352 and a 2020 F350 (Black Rain--she's black and every time I wash her it rains so the name and with air bags too! LOL!) to tote it with. Perhaps we'll see you on the road sometime. Not full time but going to be spending more time on the road out of Texas since I'm 100% remote with a good internet connection.
