[@ChickerysTravels]

Thanks! And congrats on finding your soul mate 44 years ago!

[@Mybeardog]

We were empty nesters too but are now raising our granddaughter. She's a joy and our nest is occupied again. Yay 🎉

[@ChickerysTravels]

Grand kids are the best! ❤️

[@Les988]

You really picked some fantastic places. We also love Big Bend National Park.

[@ChickerysTravels]

We can’t wait to go back! Where else would you recommend?

[@toddanderson3865]

Met at first duty station, what base?

[@ChickerysTravels]

We met at Eglin AFB in Fort Walton Beach, FL.

You two are doing great. We had a 2003 Arctic Fox 27-5L and recently sold it. It was the most trouble free rv we had ever owned. Only thing that broke was a shade string which I repaired. Great rv.

[@ChickerysTravels]

What kind of RV do you have now?

[@donoien3059]

We are getting up there in age so we retired from long term camping. We have great memories though. I enjoy your videos.

last USAF assignment was 1974/1975 Brooks AFB which was medical research and medical training base. Was still photographer.

Refreshing video. Funny thing our son started RVing with his family and we enjoyed seeing the adventures. About 18 months ago we joined the part time RV community. Now we are retired and heading out next month. Already planning trips with both households. Thanks for sharing.

[@ChickerysTravels]

Nice! Our son & daughter in law want to get an RV now too!

[@efflifestyle4941]

Love your videos!

[@ChickerysTravels]

Thanks! We love making them.

[@martihoffman]

This was a great video. Great advice for newbies and for getting ready to hit the road.

[@ChickerysTravels]

Thanks for watching!

[@CharlesAnsman]

Please continue to post, I really enjoy them. PS. My oldest Son is a AF Master (soon to be Senior) sergeant stationed at Rammstein

We enjoyed this video. We, like you guys, didn’t start camping until late in life (our maiden voyage was for our 40th wedding anniversary in the pouring rain in a Casita. We have since graduated to a 24 ft Lance travel trailer). We didn’t camp when our kids were young but wish we had. We also got out of debt using the Dave Ramsey method and pay cash for everything. We also love state and National parks. We found you when looking for reviews of Shenandoah River State Park - headed there this fall. If you haven’t visited Roan Mountain State Park, Cumberland Gap National Park or Big South Fork (all close enough for a short trip) then those are ones I recommend. Lots of hikes and nice campgrounds. Enjoy the grandson. Mine are located in Colorado - we’re in Tennessee.

[@ChickerysTravels]

Hello! Nice to meet you! We've heard great things about Lance travel trailers. Thanks for the recommendations. I've put them on my list. My (Julie) parents live in Cookeville, TN. We also love going out there to visit. Lots of great waterfalls around there.

[@ashevillegeorge3316]

Paying off the debt was probably the best thing you ever did! I always wished that the AF would teach a little bit of money management. You like the solitude but Key West is in your top 3? too funny.. we do love KW also!

[@ChickerysTravels]

Haha, you’re right about KW. We were more social there than we usually are. But the weather and location can’t be beat!

[@doctorisout]

Great background info. I dont think that toy hauler would have fit in State parks. 🙂

[@ChickerysTravels]

Definitely not in many of them!!

[@doctorisout]

I vaguely remember you guys having a delamination issue with the toy hauler. Do you know what caused that? Any big problems with the Arctic Fox?

[@ChickerysTravels]

Good memory, Eric. Our delamination was caused by water intrusion over time. We have had zero issues with the Arctic Fox.

[@toddanderson3865]

186k debt paid off, congratulations!! Did you do your debt free scream?

[@ChickerysTravels]

Thanks! We screamed in the house! 😂 But we didn’t go on the show.
