Arron was your smile as big as Chris’s smile going to the ball park and her red Boston hat so cute luv u both great job

I joined too late for those cooking videos - I’ll definitely go back to see them! And thank you for another awesome video. You do such a great job of not only sharing your experience, but sharing it with specific info for rv travelers. I really appreciate that!

Hey Carman! You'll love seeing Chris on those old cooking videos! I haven't watched one for a while myself.....🤔 maybe it's time!

So fun to see a glimpse of your first video!

[@SwitchItUpLife]

The bridges here have really sucked. Fun fact *sometimes* in NY State you will see a sign that says 12'8" then a sign that says "Actual Height" 13'8" and THEN 2 more signs that say 12'8". We have learned that in some towns in NY will mark Bridges a foot LOWER due to snow accumulation. We completely stopped and held traffic until someone walked up and said it IS 13'8" and ignore the 3 other signs that say 12'8"... it was a nail biter We are almost done on East Coast and loved your series over here as well.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Ha, that would have been STRESSFULL! Oh man, they make it even more difficult sometimes than it really needs to be! The East Coast was great...but I think we're ready for the West Coast again. 🤣 How tall is your new RV?

[@SwitchItUpLife]

@IreneIronTravels we are 13 7 but we can adjust down to 13 6" because we have air ride. It's been a bit of a challenge. We hit some stuff on Cape May ferry...lol... just some insulation on pipes. Its just RV Life... We are heading west for our last event in Vegas in Oct and we are going to balloon festival in NM. Might see you down the road.

[@bobfarrell6510]

Boston is the best. Fenway is magical and Mike's is the bomb

Yes! 🙌

[@ChrisBoar]

Nice. We stayed in hotel near your RV site in NJ when we visited last year. Great spot for a base. One thing I like about our Ford (F150) NAV system is that it is RV aware. You can program it with your RV length, height, etc. And in theory when it sets a route it will avoid low bridges, tight turns, and narrow roads. It also gives audible notifications of upcoming bridges. Not sure if RAM offers the same on their NAV?

[@kenhelmers2603]

Many don't realize why the NE has so many low bridges and parkways that prohibit trucks and rv's. Look up Parks and Roads Commissioner Robert Moses. Read The Power Broker, it explains his history. It's pretty wild.

Thanks for taking us along. Used to travel to Boston at least once a month from California. We liked to eat at the Durgin Park in Quincy Market where they cut off your tie and loved to argue with the customers. This place is now closed as is The Hilltop restaurant on RT 1. They had great steaks, seafood, and lobster pie there.

Watching your videos, I miss my RAM 2500 diesel. After we bought our Rockwood 2608BS, we bought a RAM 2500. After we sold the trailer, I really did not have a good reason to drive a crew cab with an 8' foot box. So now I have a RAM 1500 with a Hemi 5.7 and a 5'6" box. I named him Shorty. Chris sure is a good driver. Really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks again, and safe travels.

We would really like to try going to NYC with the RV, however I know if we have as much courage as you all. We really appreciate this video series as you all travel up the east coast up to Canada and Newfoundland. Be safe out here you guys!

Thanks so much for sharing your adventure. I've been to NYC only once. That was in 1971,and Times Square was much different then. As a young GI headed to Germany, it was quite the adventure.

As a college freshman I lived just down the street on Commonwealth Avenue and walked by Fenway Park every evening on my way to my part time job! Later year took my boys to a Red Sox game and got them their Red Sox hats!

Oh you CAN leave that awning out. You just may have to pay. That wind and rain reminded us of our camping trip at the end of April to Oregon Inlet. The Sunday night we arrived, the wind and rain were pretty rough.

I live near Philly but my oldest son lives just outside Boston - about a mile or so from the city border. I was at Fenway for the first time on Mother’s day 2024 - looks like it was about 3 weeks before you both were there. I feel in love with Fenway!!!! We could walk to it. It has to be the best ballpark in America and the fans were great ( maybe because they had their moms with them lol). I was even cheering for the Red Sox’s but I keep my eye on the score board for the league to make sure my Phillies were winning 😊. I have really enjoyed your Philly-NYC- Boston series. Oh and not to forget Cape May/ the Jersey shore. Thanks so much for your time and great videoing.

Great memories of Fenway! We can now see why you love it so much! Appreciate you watching😊

Yes Time Square is crazy! Last time we were there, we took our (then ) young teens to the Harry Potter exhibit. Once was enough for me. Used to drive to New England regularly back in the 1980's. The bridges were old and low then, and I doubt that has changed. There are many beautiful areas up there, hope to get back that way before too long. Anyways, Thanks for the tour of NY, now I don't need to go there any time soon. 😊

Those low bridges are nerve wracking out East. We ran into one in DC because we were rerouted due to construction. Talk about almost having a heart attack. The bridge said 13 and we are 13’4”. People were backing up behind us but we made it through somehow so not sure if it was mislabeled 🤷🏻‍♀️

We use a chain lock like this amzn.to/3Mv9noZ don’t use a flexible cable that can be cut easily. A metal u lock works too, but the chain is easier to use.

[@rupe53]

The reason you saw so many low bridges is you were on parkways, which don't allow trailers or big trucks. Matter of fact, many parkways don't allow pickup trucks unless they have the proper registration for that state. Ct has their "combination" plates and limits weight. NY also has a different plate and a weight limit. Having those plates does NOT allow you to operate in the other state. Also, 13 ft 6 in is the max height for all trucks without a special permit. Those stray marks on the bridges are from heavy equipment and such used for road repair, which are sometimes exempt from restrictions. (but not idiots) If you run a trailer in New England, you need to follow truck routes on limited access highways. Beware, many RR bridges on secondary streets are in the 11-12 ft range because they were built over 100 years ago when trucks were smaller. Know your total height and stay alert!

Not a great plan. We called RV life and they requested that we provide them with the location of the low bridges on the NYC parkways. Really? AllStays will show you where the low bridges are. Hopefully, RV life has a subscription.
