RVers first trip to Nova Scotia Canada (RV Life and Travel)

[@ROLLMEAWAY]

Watching you pack up and set up is a painful reminder of how much work was involved when I had my Class A. I sold it and bought a Winnebago Revel 4X4 diesel van and I'm living a completely different life now. No Tow vehicle. No Campgrounds most of the time. Street camping, Backwoods forest camping, etc. It has been freeing in so many ways.

[@IreneIronTravels]

We feel you. I often think about our travels in the van and how easy and spontaneous it was. Freeing is a great word. But... after 2.5 years of doing it full-time with the 2 of us we needed more space. Would be perfect if we had a house....

[@ROLLMEAWAY]

@@IreneIronTravels You got it. The van was part of a transition to part time RV life as I have a home base after 7.5 years full-time!!!

[@wesmuise4506]

Thankyou for the video of my home province, I was born in Yarmouth, live in Centreville just outside Kentville towards Halls Harbour and work all over Canada from British Columbia to NFLD, we stop at the restaurants in Annapolis often and we camp seasonally at Belle Baie in Church Point, my wife worked at Grande Pre outside Wolfville, a lot of history there before the 1755 Deportation and after as well😎

[@margielambert-sen8253]

I love that you learn about the history and culture of the places that you visit!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks! Soo much to learn there!

[@angelaklinger2951]

Thank you for taking me along. I hope to get up in that area in a couple of years. I love how informative your videos are. You all are great tour guides. Thank you for all you do for us RV folks.

[@IreneIronTravels]

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!!

[@joshlindsay2639]

I have an S&B 68 gallon fuel tank that I added to our Ford Super Duty. I love it. Easily one of the best additions I have made to the truck to help with towing. You would probably be surprised how many additional gallons of fuel it would add to your truck. Also, you don't have to get rid of your spare tire or anything else.

[@okinawadonkichi]

I have had the TPMS act weird on me as well. Always when there is major differences or sudden changes in temp between the pavement and the tire. Useful tool, but unless I hear a big bang or feel the death shudder from the trailer, I just watch it for a while to see what it does! Trend analysis! Also, when the batteries on one of my TPMS units goes, I change all 4 so I don't have to deal with the extended PITA of them slowly dying one by one. ;-) Today's episode looks like you had a blast!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes…. Hard to trust them fully! Glad to hear we’re not the only ones!! Good tip on replacing all the batteries at once!!

[@traveleats6833]

Glad you are loving your taste of Canada! We live on Vancouver Island and have travelled coast-to-coast-to-coast. We spent 3 months going west to east and back. Nova Scotia is beautiful but so is the rest of the country. We just returned from Tuktoyuktuk!

[@dalemarshall9736]

Only been stuck a couple of times and one was on a grass site like yours in northern Nova Scotia provincial park. They put us on a grass site after a couple days of rain and sunk in with our 5th wheel. Luckily the gate attendants husband was there with his 4wd suburban and we were able to find a tow chain and he pulled us out and they assigned us a gravel site for the night.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Oh man...no fun! I was worried about getting stuck here too! But, it luckily dried out before we left!

[@lew3057]

New Brunswick and nova Scotia are fairly hilly provinces and so your gas mileage will not be great, especially pulling a big 5th wheel trailer. My trailer is about 6000 lbs and my Silverado with a 5.3 V8 uses about 22L/100Km. Word of advice, use Hwy 407 when travelling past Toronto - much better highway and a lot less traffic than Hwy 401. The 407 is a toll road but uses cameras to capture your entry and exit and if you have an out of Ontario license plate they do not bill you. Nova Scotia has great parks and considering when you were here I hope you had a great visit.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks for the tip about Hwy 407, we will keep that in mind for our next trip through Canada.

[@sherrywarren-biers3327]

Hello from Bridgetown, Nova Scotia! Just out of the blue I clicked on your channel, and lo and behold, you were visiting Annapolis Royal just down the road from me. Used to live here, as well. So many interesting areas to explore in this province…..have fun. 🥰

[@IreneIronTravels]

Oh too funny! Such great history and a beautiful area you live in!!

[@LuvSubbin]

Cool! Our Airstream club is going to Annapolis in Nova Scotia next year so we will be sure to put the Annapolis Brewing Company on our list.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Oh cool!!! What a great trip you have coming up....you guys will love it!

[@alainlacroix3428]

Annapolis Royal was one of my favorite parts of Nova Scotia.

[@iancanuckistan2244]

I hope you're going to Cape Breton for the Cabot Trail and Louisbourg. Amazing views and a historic site.

[@bencardelli5645]

Fellow Minnesotan here… enjoy following you guys. Of course being an old fart I’m also a snow bird. Enjoying your travels as I sit in the desert.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Hello and thanks for following along! We're desert dwellers as well and love spending the winters there. Too cold back home for sure.... enjoy the warmth!

[@grayfox9911]

It looked very pretty there. Too bad you didn't have more sunshine... Take care!!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yeah, we were hoping for a little more sunshine too!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Crazy how saturated the ground was when you were setting up, but wow what a view! Loved the baby Crocs on your stairs. I think we are swapping out our steps for that style so shall swipe that idea! Enjoyed this :)

[@danrandall794]

Great use of Crocs. Hopefully you get to the cemetery. Sadly there was a big boom in their history.

[@IreneIronTravels]

We did make it to the Halifax cemetery. Just wow....

[@lincoln169]

So glad I get to see what it’s like. I was considering Nova Scotia to move there.

[@MrTheStare]

In the begin you were talking about running only on the top half of your fuel tank. My personnal experience is to stay above a quarter tank, so any contamination stays in the tank.

[@ShawnPatterson402]

setting up in the rain is not fun, but waking up the next day to that beautiful view is exceptionally fun. Very nice part of the world there. Almost every year we spend a few nights with our trailer somewhere in Nova Scotia. Have not found a bad spot there yet... continued safe travels..

[@IreneIronTravels]

Oh thats great! Our time there was all too short and unfortunately didn't get a lot of time on Cape Breton!

[@MrYoup11]

Red chairs were introduced by Parks Canada's in 2017, during Canada's 150 anniversary.

[@IreneIronTravels]

So cool!! It was fun to try and spot them!

[@IH-nr7dx]

It may be possible to adjust the sensitivity of both the temperature and the pressure of your TPMS. Rain quickly affects the temperature of the road surface and tires, which in turn affects the pressure within your tires. Reducing the monitors sensitivity (allowing more range in acceptable temperature and pressure) may reduce the number of false alarms. A TPMS is always a good idea. Looking forward to your video from Newfoundland.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks for the info! We are excited to show you Newfoundland.

[@GaryMiller1973]

Welcome to Canada guys. I’m excited you are here.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thank you!!

[@kathydonaldson1705]

Did you go to the Port Royal Power generating plant? It generates power with the Bay of Fundy tides going both in and out. Fascinating!

[@IreneIronTravels]

We drove by and saw it, but didn't have time to stop!

[@Hereandnow3]

Awesome places you are showing us! Thank you! 💜🐾💙🐾💕

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks for watching! Glad you like it! 💜🐾💙🐾💕

[@floridastate4604]

Freezing up there

[@davidhillman3410]

False alarms when your tires are good and nothing when your entire wheel assembly is missing?! How’d that happen anyway? I’m so curious how you guys are!

[@SchnuffiJames]

Thanks for the video

[@shelleymcquillin7329]

We are enjoying your Canadian adventures ❤

[@IreneIronTravels]

Glad you like them Shelley!

[@JCMercyGrace]

I think that possibly I could go back and look to see, but I also don't know how many days happen between each video. What dates (or at least month) did you film this. So I know what sort of weather to look forward to when we go to the Maritimes in a few years. (If we're going there the same time of year that you're there. I think I remember autumn colors near Maine but I'm not sure

[@IreneIronTravels]

😊 Our Canada trip was early July till mid August. This video was around the middle of July. The weather was fairly good the whole trip and reminded us kinda of the summer weather in the Midwest. But being on the coast it was little volatile. We had some highs in the 90’s and some in the 60’s!

[@williamhaynes1367]

Where in the world did you fine the little crocks for your staircase?

[@IreneIronTravels]

🤣 We got them on Amazon! amzn.to/41ipKOu

[@edmcateer3162]

@@IreneIronTravelsis that the size also? 4 Toddler

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes! Thats the size we got. 👍

[@sally_forth]

It appears each rig travels on their own from one park to another. Is that correct? Did I see baby crocs on the feet of your entry ladder? Looks like you’re having a great trip! Kit and I just got to Florida for the first time. He says “Woof” to Louie and Junebug.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes, thats correct everyone travels at their own pace. There are 2 rigs that work for the company... one leaves first thing in the morning and the other leaves when the last RV guest leaves. Pretty cool idea . Yes we got the baby crocs on amazon! 🤣 It was a great trip in Canada...enjoy Florida it's a great place to winter!! Say hi to Kit!

[@williamhaynes1367]

Thank you for the reply, I had to order them! LOL!

[@IreneIronTravels]

You're gonna love them! 😄

[@koreankid1011]

Finally a new video. always happy to see you two enjoying life. How was Nova Scotia? the last time I was in Canada, Nova Scotia was the one place we couldn't go to cause we didn't have enough time.

[@Zakk900]

Yeah because money grows on trees huh.

[@koreankid1011]

@ no because we won a raffle at an auction event

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes! It was great! Our favorite place in the tour is coming up.... Lunenburg!!!Thanks for watching!!

You mention The Cove but Zi didn’t catch where this is. Can you post more info for the site?

[@IreneIronTravels]

Hello! Its in Parker's Cove Nova Scotia (not too far from Annapolis Royal). Here is their website www.oceanfront-camping.com

[@FreeBirdUSA]

How do you find the places and plan your visits while you travel full time? Do you use an app?

[@RamblinRoadies]

Did you see Bad Chad? My wife's father is from Nova Scotia. We want to go one day.

[@IreneIronTravels]

🤣 We did not run into Bad Chad! 🤣 Definitely worth the visit! Lunenburg was our favorite and Halifax has some amazing history. Videos coming!

🤣 We wish! 🤣 Lahey wouldn't let us in!

[@Minnesota_Girl-m6z]

I love the crossover purse. Do you mind sharing what brand it is and where you bought it?

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes of course! The tan "hatch" purse is a Cut N Paste cnpbags.com from a store in Hudson Wi called La Rue Marche. And the small blue purse is from www.portlandleathergoods.com . Not sure which one you were talking about...although the tan purse has brought a lot of comments from viewers!!! Thanks!!! 😊

[@IreneIronTravels]

cnpbags.com/product/dream-sling-bag/ I found this one!

[@randalljacquard4706]

Man, did it pour that day .

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes! Luckily that was the worst of it on our trip!

[@gailmcn]

What is the purpose of the baby Crocs on the stair feet?

[@IreneIronTravels]

Its kinda part "Snap Pad" idea so they don't leave marks or sink in the dirt/mud/grass and part just for fun!

[@exploringtheholos]

OMG 😂, where did you get the lil crocs for the steps?

[@IreneIronTravels]

🤣🤣 Amazon of course! 🤣 I think they are for toddlers....
