Happy Thanksgiving!

[@WaywardWaggs]

We were in Montgomery AL this year for Thanksgiving and it was the exact opposite. The campground was totally full. The one we were in was in town though. It was our first Thanksgiving in the RV.

[@WanderingWagners]

I'm sure if we were in the South it would have been busier but that's the nice thing about being in the cold North... Holiday camping isn't busy at all

[@kenforehand9667]

WoW... I watched you backup THREE times and I'm in awe of your greatness.... Platinum man-card holder. The wife and I had our first RV Thanksgiving this year and our meal was chicken and sausage gumbo and cherry cream cheese pie. Enjoyed the video as always.

He makes it look easy, doesn't he haha

[@ivettequijas1551]

Great video!

[@WanderingWagners]

Thank you!

[@campfirerob1089]

Thanks for sharing.

[@WanderingWagners]

Thanks for watching!

[@jeepsandrvs]

I remember my first year RVing - I winterized too soon, and missed some prime camping time. Rookie mistake. Weekend Warrior camping dies down a lot after labor day. Now, we moved to Florida, so no need to winterize at all unless I go North.

[@WanderingWagners]

Yeah we don't winterize until we absolutely have to. Hopefully soon we won't have to winterize anymore!

[@woody6773]

Nice back in job👍

[@WanderingWagners]

Thanks😊

[@robertstubblefield0032]

Awesome as usual. Well we're heading to Texas Xmas day t visit the fam. Head on down lol.

[@WanderingWagners]

Thanks Robert! That does sound wonderful haha we still aren't sure what we will do but that shouldn't surprise anyone haha

[@RobertaSharpe]

Lynn your dinner looked scrumptious. I could smell that pumpkin pie all the way here on Long Island!!! I am going to try Thanksgiving next year. I can't wait. Going to be sure to stock up on all the ingredients and the infamous rolling pin!! LOL. Great job on the crust. Thanks for sharing.

[@WanderingWagners]

Everything turned out awesome and we got just the right amount of leftovers😋 the pie turned out especially good! I'm actually glad I forgot my rolling pin because it worked out so well just pressing it by hand on the plastic wrap then I was able to cleanly pick it up and fold over my hand and into the pie plate! I wish we got that part on video😂

[@RobertaSharpe]

@@WanderingWagners Your videos are very encouraging. Realizing that a long weekend is sufficient, and that just the two of you and the dogs can have a great time. We love the peace and quiet of a wooded area and so does our dog. Thanks again, Always watching, Roberta

[@nasa1nk]

We just got back from camping over the Thanksgiving weekend and the campground we stayed at in Mid Georgia was full.

[@WanderingWagners]

I'm sure if we had weather here, like Georgia, it would have been full too haha this park was booked full up until mid November

[@iancarter1268]

Who needs gorden Ramsey, we need "Lynn's airstream cook book "😁😁🇬🇧👍👍

[@WanderingWagners]

It's in the works! It's a time consuming process but I can't wait to have my little cookbook finished to share

[@scottmichel8744]

@@WanderingWagners I'll buy the 1st. Copy.

[@jeepsandrvs]

@@WanderingWagners Put us down for a copy!

[@rvninnorthcarolina3377]

@@WanderingWagners I'm in for one too!

[@jimaker2757]

I’m in!! I basically eat the same thing every camping trip. Salmon rice pilaf and some type of fruit. New ideas yay!!

[@BenjaminMedlock]

Go to Florida between Christmas and New years!

[@WanderingWagners]

We are considering going somewhere warmer but not sure if we will go as far as Florida that week, yet.

[@otas9398]

Great video!!! Instead of whipping your potatoes you need to get a potato ricer. It is so much better than whipped and will take up less space than the stand mixer!

[@WanderingWagners]

Thank you! Great idea, but I use my mixer for so many things, and so often, that I can't see myself parting with it haha

[@otas9398]

Haha. Ok ! Hey question. We have 2 free weeks in August. Looking to travel south as far as tn and sw as far as myrtle beach from Niagara Falls. Any must see parks you’ve stayed at?

[@wesmac68]

Love Mohican and love sites 94-100

[@WanderingWagners]

Mohican is one of our favorite parks too!

[@SunsetSeekers]

What an awesome campground! We will have to check that one out some day!

[@WanderingWagners]

Definitely check it out. It's one of our favorites. We love all the hiking!

[@davidm2645]

Lynn...no "Stove Top"? Just kidding. My wife Paula makes an awesome pumpkin pie from scratch. We grow the pumpkins in our garden, harvest, bake and then freeze in baggies for later. This year we had venison, fried potatoes and corn. All food came from our garden. Along with the pumpkin pie, Paula made an awesome apple crisp! Instead of one pound of apples, she used eight pounds. She says you can't have too many apples! It was amazing (just like her)!

[@WanderingWagners]

Haha no stove top🙄 in sure Paula agrees with me! My mom always used hint grown pumpkin or butternut squash for pie, but I didn't have any this year so had to use a can of pumpkin... At least I refuse to use store bought pie crust haha mmm we love Apple crisp and she's right... Never to many apples😋

[@toddramsay977]

Nice RV Thanksgiving meal. Yum yum. A floured wine, full beer can unopened or beer bottle works pretty good as a rolling pin. I bet you had at least some beer in the fridge.

[@WanderingWagners]

I did think about using a can of beer but decided to just use my hands and it worked out better than I thought it would! If I wasn't able to get it even enough, I would have used a can haha

[@cslay06]

Good for you guys! I’m glad winter isn’t winning yet. I took mine out last weekend with my son to ride ATVs down in Wayne National Forest and had a ball. Keep enjoying! I’m going to try to get out again to boondock in the AEP lands in December. With inverter generator of course!

[@WanderingWagners]

We aren't giving into winter quite yet! Clinging to hope that we will get at least 1 more trip in... Maybe 2

[@kellettd2]

Great video! I want you to teach me to back up that good. Yes I watched your video on how to back up. I need hands on when your out in AZ.

[@WanderingWagners]

Sounds like a plan!😁

[@nancylawn9118]

ME TOO!!!!!!!! In Virginia. I would pay you for a good lesson in backing our Airstream. :-)

[@WanderingWagners]

Lessons can be arranged😊

[@joelknedel5146]

myy dog knows how to open fridg. he took turkey left overs. looks like you can help. joel Vancouver, wa.

[@WanderingWagners]

Guy wishes he could open the fridge! Haha

[@terrymichaelschneeman7383]

What a difference a month makes. The trees were just starting to drop their leaves last weekend of October. I was a few sites down at 94

[@WanderingWagners]

A few big storms with lots of wind blew the leaves down haha we love this park!

[@rvninnorthcarolina3377]

Somehow I managed to not pay attention to the oven when we bought our rig and it is too small to cook a bird of any size. I now have a "BigEZ" IR Cooker (Oil-less Fryer) and I can do turkeys, pork butts etc...of course outside since it is a propane fired cooker (One draw back when it is cold). It does a nice job and cooks quickly and provides a nice "fried" skin. I know they now have larger roasters that use electric as well for indoor use, but I have no experience with that. An alternative for us who's oven's are not up to the task! Your meal looked awesome though and I am going to apply some of this next year! Thank you for sharing!

[@WanderingWagners]

The oven we had in our last Jaco was smaller than this one and it was tricky to cook a turkey but the turkey we use are bone in turkey breast so it's missing the legs and wings so it is more compact and even fit in our smaller Jaco oven. Just have to move the rack to the bottom or remove the rack all together. But whatever you have that works is what matters most! Thanks for watching!

[@rvninnorthcarolina3377]

@@WanderingWagners Yeah, I got the new Furrion 17" and I am unsure if it is intended to be an oven at all. You can cook a pizza or a 2-3" high casserole, but there is no room for a bird unless it is like a pheasant or smaller. From the outside is seems large enough but open the oven door...not so much. Have you ever cooked right on the bottom plate of the oven (no rack at all)? Seems like it would get too hot(?) but I have given it a thought. Anyone done that successfully?

[@jim-uu2db]

We have also camped at Thanksgiving and cooked our whole meal here in Little Talbot Island state park Florida. Sometimes hard to get a reservation.

[@hdlowrider5413]

Great dinner. Good job. How did you get such a small turkey? We always try to get the smallest we can. Seems to taste better and be more tender. I assume your rig is four season. Were those sights full hookups. What was the name of the campground? Run in to any snow up there?

[@WanderingWagners]

Thanks the dinner was fabulous! The turkey is a bone in, turkey breast... No legs or wings so it's smaller. They're wonderful! We find them at Walmart. Had them almost every Thanksgiving now. Yes our rig is capable of winter camping but luckily this wasn't very cold. Highs in the 40s. Our site wasn't full hook up but this campground does have several that are. No snow at the campground but we've been getting snow almost daily, just nothing much has stuck. We have just the grass covered now, but it'll melt this weekend.

[@hdlowrider5413]

Wandering Wagners don't feel bad. We live in North Georgia and its in the teens tonight. 😱

[@RESTLESSOUTDOORS]

All I have to say is "WOWZA!" had no idea you were married to Betty Crocker!!! That feast was damn impressive!!! Especially cooked in a RV!!! I've backpacked Mohican many times, can't wait to take the trailer there next spring!!! Thanks for taking us along!

[@WanderingWagners]

Thanks for watching! I do enjoy cooking and baking and like to show that it can be done in your RV as well. I'm hoping to make my own cookbook😊 we love Mohican and the weekend turned out wonderfully

[@RESTLESSOUTDOORS]

You definitely proved it!!! Awesome job! 👊

[@RobertaSharpe]

Have you thought of writing a camping cookbook???

[@WanderingWagners]

Yes! This has been suggested often and I'm actually going to do it! Everything in the book will be made in the Airstream or at a campground/campfire😁

[@RobertaSharpe]

@@WanderingWagners I am ready to purchase!!!

[@WanderingWagners]

Excellent! Can't wait to finish it. It'll take a little time but it'll be worth it😊👍

Thank you! Everything turned it really great. Better than last year even!

[@BikesBoatsBivouacs]

Looked like a fun weekend. Love the shirt at 12:33! Thanks for featuring the shirt. My vote is to not winterize the Airstream. Drop it in NC or FL and drive down on long weekends in the winter!

[@WanderingWagners]

Yes we meant to send you a message of thanks for the shirts/stickers but this video went live before we got the chance haha we are still wondering if we will go to warmer weather the week between Christmas and New year's... Still up in the air!

@@WanderingWagners You have been added to my featured channels section of my channel.

[@nancylawn9118]

Wow Lynne your meal looks great! I have never really used an RV oven much because they don't seem to cook well. However we just upgraded to an Airstream in October. We did our first Airstream Thanksgiving in James River State Park, VA. I used the instant pot to cook a 3 pound Frozen boneless Turkey roast in 55 minutes plus pressure and de-pressure time. I found this great recipe at thenovicechef.com/instant-pot-turkey-gravy. Question: How do you have the spice rack attached to the aluminum wall in the kitchen?

[@ricwestdoesitwork]

Glad you guys enjoyed your Thanksgiving weekend, but all good things must come to an end which sucks. Hope you don't get to much snow come Monday the 26th.

[@WanderingWagners]

We aren't supposed to get hit by this next storm... Probably just rain! We are really wanting a few more trips. It is so hard to stop camping this time of year

[@ricwestdoesitwork]

@@WanderingWagners I totally get that. Good luck to ya. And please keep the videos coming my friends.

[@trentcarbino921]

Looks great...now I'm hungry

[@WanderingWagners]

It was all so good! Leftovers are even better and the pie is about gone🤭😮

[@l.a.woman564]

Didn't see a baking stone in your oven, how do you prevent burning?

[@WanderingWagners]

Not sure why people think you need a stone to prevent burning etc. I've never had one and never had issues. If you have a smaller cubic foot oven, you will just have to turn the temp down and watch and learn how your oven cooks. This oven we have now, I cook at normal cooking temps, and it Cooks evenly and has never burned anything. I mean look at that pie!😍 Popular belief is that if you don't use a stone, it'll burn...I like to prove that wrong every time I feature a cooking segment. Earlier this summer, I baked a perfect cake as well! Great question and I'm glad you asked it so I could dispel that rumor.

[@cherylturner5868]

Oh Lynn that's just the way I always made dressing learned from my Mom in Toledo where I grew up!! Worst stuffing I ever had was cornbread at my girlfriend's in Texas, sorry Southerners but growing up on bread dressing cornbread is yuck, lol!!!

[@WanderingWagners]

Isn't it the best! Ever time we have a different kind of dressing/stuffing is never good haha this is the best!

[@BenjaminMedlock]

Not sure if I missed this or not. Did you sell the house?

[@WanderingWagners]

The house is still for sale, unfortunately. The market in our area is pretty slow. We are going to make a few updates and hope that helps move things along

[@slimbeaux]

Wow that was so much fun. Who taught you to cook Lynn or did you just research and learn on your own? Work as the real world, I don't think so. It is just the game we play to enjoy the real world, out camping. Thank you for the education and a Happy Thanksgiving. Even though the weekend is over Gratitude, hopefully, never runs out.

[@WanderingWagners]

I wouldn't say I was taught to cook/bake but I had to help cook growing up, and learned some techniques from my mom. She's an excellent cook as well! Growing up if I wanted to bake something she would telling us to go do it. We learned trial and error and really taught us to be independent in the kitchen. It was great having free reign like that. Thanks for watching!-Lynn

[@billsmith5042]

My favorite part wuz when guys butt made a special guest cameo appearance, during the cooking portion of the video. Oh, there wuz a rolling pin onboard, Mike probably threw it out.....so Lynn wouldn't beat him with it. I wuz a truck driver too, and I understand. :D

[@WanderingWagners]

Haha Guy likes to be right in the middle of things, especially when there's food involved!

[@spankyranger8842]

Be careful at that campsite I encountered 2 black wolves there last xmas while exploring the woods around there, good thing I had my pistol with me to scare them off.

[@dirtroadsailing6418]

Great job, but that cooking stuff is too technical for me. I'm more of a "dinners ready" sit down and eat kind of guy.

[@WanderingWagners]

Thanks! Mike isn't into cooking but he helped by holding the camera haha

better winterize tonite, big storm coming.

It won't be hitting us... Well the snow won't. We're still staying in the Airstream in the driveway, so the heat is still on for now.
