First Time RV Camping at a Rest Stop Parking Lot! - Electrical Issues And a Horrible Nights Sleep 😭

We failed to book any RV campsites for the night, so we drove to the nearest rest stop in Delaware for another free overnight stay in a parking lot! But things didn't end up going according to plan 😅 Do they ever??

We're Eric & Allison and we're on a journey to find the most interesting places and unique foods this planet has to offer! We've traded in our steady paychecks and permanent home for a life of travel and adventure. Come along and see the world with us!

[@KyleRuggles]

While you guys were looking for something to cover up your eyes, you had 2 perfectly great hats that you can just... cover your eyes with, on your heads! LOL!! And when using that and closing your eyes, it can get pretty pretty... prettyyyyyyy dark. :P

[@patriciamoore6492]

I would love to see an entire video without trials and troubles! You deserve better!

[@WonkoTheSaneUK]

Those aren't fuses on the panel, they're airplane-style circuit breakers. If they pop out, you push them back in to reset

[@tmc9525]

And they are pulled out to open them

[@xlnuniex]

I’m shocked he didn’t know this. If I ever did the van life, I’d make sure I knew how everything works before “moving in”

[@kgnana4]

I love your positive attitude. But honestly, what you guys deal with, pretty regularly, would keep me away from living an RV lifestyle. I love my forced air heating and a warm comfy bed without worrying about who's camping next to me. You guys are amazing and I give you both credit for living your life and trying something most of us wouldn't have the courage to do. Stay safe & warm.

[@trailingarm63]

Good film. Can't help thinking you make life hard for yourselves at times, but each to their own. I thought your overnight spot was perfect - and free. In fact, it was better than some of the campgrounds you've paid a fortune for! Point it south and keep going. Happy New Year!

[@Theendlessadventure]

It was definitely more private and quiet than many sites we've stayed in 😅 If the lights had turned off, it would have actually been a pretty relaxing stay!

[@billyflood2430]

Right? Every single problem here was self inflicted. They let their vehicles run out of gas at night, they did not understand the electrical system of their own vehicle, did not secure a spot for the evening before night etc. They are their own worst enemy, good thing they laugh through it all LOL

[@LoneTraveler-nc6rf]

Add basil after cooking your pizza not before. Much better.

[@jmb1819]

Happy New Year Eric and Allison! Your videos are my sweet escape from my stressful and sometimes frustrating reality. One day, I'll travel the world like you do!

[@andreagoodman1636]

Why didn’t you pull in and take up two spaces instead of 4 spaces ?

[@aubrey105]

You guys are adventurous for sure. I would have given up on this freezing cold camping trip weeks ago!

[@Theendlessadventure]

🤣🤣 we definitely didn't mean to get caught in the winter weather. We're just glad we escaped the snow 🥶

[@moebiusdune1115]

Sending LOVE from Croatia. Happy New Year! I hope that you will get your old camper back.

[@buildanadventure]

Y’all have got to be the bravest couple ever! We’d be such wimps in that cold weather! Delaware is such a cute state! Safe travels, friends! -Ben and Ang

[@KB-ke3fi]

too bad Biden lives there.

[@AL-grhvc]

6:39 just pull the beanie downnnn

[@susana6917]

Easy Eye Mask idea? Pull your beanies (aka hat) down over your eyes. Keeps the head warm too. :)

[@danimartin818]

Well, no one can accuse you two of making the RV life look too glamorous. 😄

[@maddogshwa]

This brilliantly captures RV'ing. Issues+adventures and sourcing stuff. This makes me yearn to get back on the road.

[@stephaniewoods2374]

I might sound super corny..but I love watching you guys so much. Keeps my dreams of RV travel alive. Still sending so much love and support, Steph from NH ✌ ♥ ☺

[@denisekenney6436]

Bless your hearts seriously you two have had some terrible luck on your travels! Here’s to wishing you both the safe travels and the best of luck going forward. One thing you’ve learned, don’t travel to the East Coast in the winter! 😊

[@Theendlessadventure]

Definitely a lesson we hope no one else has to learn first-hand, thanks to us 🤣

[@teresalewelling7318]

Thank you for sharing this with me. I’m so sorry it’s so cold for y’all. But I am so excited you did.

[@elyodekirk9469]

You missed a shot where you can see that big, southern, red airbnb. 😁 Cant wait to see the video.

[@mariepalkiewicz852]

Happy New Year! Stay safe & Cozy!

[@mkfaith09]

Happy New Year, Eric & Allison!!!

[@rachaeldelao3652]

What a fun couple. They laugh at their mishaps. Others would be swearing their teeth out. Good bless them.

[@traceynobil6852]

Happy 2023! 🎉 Have a wonderful year!

[@sarahusmann6545]

I live in Delaware. If you come back through and are close to the Smyrna rest stop, you are more than welcome to crash in my driveway.

[@nancyhaynes4459]

I don’t know how in the world you two can keep up the positive attitude. When my husband and I travel in our RV we do pretty good the first couple of weeks. But after we have blow outs, and other mechanical problems we are ready for home. Take care you two.

[@billyflood2430]

Love your delightful attitude despite your situations. So many life lessons here. Always gas up before night. Know the electrical system of your vehicle get your supplies before the last minute. Love your vids!

[@sallyevans3298]

Happy New Year Eric & Alison!! XX

[@kirkacola7942]

Great video and Happy New Year and everybody else in the comments as well!!!🥳🍻

[@jamesenloe2791]

Your channel have become one of those reality TV shows where you feel good about yourself. Your between Jersey Shore and Survivor

[@grayeagleswolves]

Hi Eric and Allison Happy new year adventures I hope you both hanging in their with the things you have and hope you have a very prosperous new year

[@brendalea1606]

I appreciate your take on RV esp with these times. I miss the travel vlogs around the world

[@tracyeve3844]

Newbie here with a travel-trailer. You guys are giving me courage for our first up-coming big trip ! Sorry you didn’t make a stop in our gorgeous Maryland. We are small but our state parks are some of the best around - from the mountains to the sea !

[@joe-m]

Me: O they are in Delaware. I wonder where they'll go in Maryland? Allison: ...and we've just driven straight through Maryland... Me: 😞

[@inthesun3884]

Happy New Year Allison and Eric.

[@judithgreen3689]

Well if it’s not one thing, it’s another. Glad you’re giving yourself an Airbnb break. But, no matter what is thrown at you, you just keep trucking. Love your adventurous spirit.

[@kelvinpell4571]

I watch a few vanlife RV channels. But I enjoy yours more than any other! Have a happy 2023 guys!!

[@Theendlessadventure]

❤️ thanks and happy new year!

[@oOLinxyOo]

Hey The endless adventure 😄! I love your videos, makes my day! Always looking to new ones hehe!

[@Love_rainy_days]

Happy New Years Guys, 👨👩‍🦰🌹Love your channel, Stay safe and happy adventuring in 2023. Hope you all had a nice Christmas with family and friends in Mo. Cheers 🍕🍕🕵‍♂

[@laruedouglas7972]

Happy New Year 🥳🎇🥳 and to more great adventures in 2023.

[@carletterice2167]

Cheap trick for a more comfortable eye cover… a dark tank top or tshirt. Works fantastic 🤩

[@jaseinclee]

Have a great 2023!

[@lisamcgrath3132]

Happy New Years y’all🤗

[@fluffydoodle1574]

With all the warm places in the US, I can’t understand why you are spending the fall and winter in the north east?? It’s like you are trying to make RVing look hard.

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Lovely to see you both , hope you didn’t have too much trouble with the very very cold weather . Eek the Rv on a slant 🙏 doesn’t go for a swim 🫣. Looking forward to to seeing your Fun Airb&b. Safe travels.

[@Mashariki_0]

Happy New Year lovelies 😀🍾🥂

[@alohatvj]

Very entertaining video adventurers. Happy new year!

[@gokusupersaiyan4241]

Cool lil adventure !

[@margaretanglade5293]

I would have just checked into a hotel and ordered room service. You guys are amazing!

[@Aggie98bqn]

Blessings you two. Happy new year

[@nicolasbertin8552]

It seems like this is good testing for the trailer they gave you coz there is a LOT that keeps breaking down or just isn't practical...

[@drlong08]

Their Vintage RV would have managed better....just sayin'.

[@Skittl1321]

Seriously...this isn't a great ad for that brand. This thing breaks so much for a new, expensive, trailer.

[@nicolasbertin8552]

@@Skittl1321 For sure, but I appreciate that they don't shy away from showing all the issues they've been having in a trailer they got for free... Also, maybe it's a prototype or first series of a future trailer not yet sold to the public ?

[@TurboChick1978]

You guys have had so many issues with this Black Series. It doesn't make that brand sound too good. It shouldn't be costing you anything for this stuff to get fixed. It should be under warranty.

[@scottking7875]

Welcome to Lynchburg! I’ve lived here for 30 years. This is a wonderful city. Hope you enjoy your stay 😊

[@johnnyreb8030]

Take off light switch and disconnect only one wire, any wire. Lights are off

[@dadsuplate7183]

What a crazy rest area! That place is amazing, I kinda need to go there now.

[@pamelabennett9057]

With the pumps closed and it being so insanely cold around Christmas I was afraid that you might have experienced frozen diesel (when it gets too cold it jells and won't flow). I was so glad when your truck started right up in the morning! Happy New Year and safe travels!

[@JCKDTV]

MARYLAND IN THE HOUSE 🎉🎉🎉

[@awaicul]

Welcome to Lynchburg! Hope you enjoy your stay!

[@michelleconcannon7584]

Allison, I'm so impressed with you towing. I'm terrified to try it!

[@leonohart3982]

Love the truck. I’ve got a 97. Power stroke I actually ordered the truck new. You guys seem very positive. We spent many nights in rest areas in our camper.

[@Inge.Borthne]

Happy new year to both of you.😀

[@jarekweckwerth1390]

Let's hit it > slap! Made my day today!

[@BigEsTruckstop]

Lynchburg has some neat walking trails. They have one that goes through an old rail tunnel. We always stop on our way to Charlottesville.

[@fabulouspinkmk10]

Hey, I have to say that I also enjoy how you change up the Motion Graphics at the beginning, they seem to line up with what is happening in the vid.😀👏👍. Yes and the vids are my favorite part of my time here.

[@peggym4865]

Lol. Another fun fact.. Both of my children were born in Silver Spring. I lived there for many years.

[@undecided1]

I love that welcome center

[@lbauer51]

Kiddos, all that angst about eye masks when you are both wearing knit caps that would pull down over the eyes quite nicely. Hang in there and do have a very most excellent New Year.

[@dannydanny9875]

you guys make things work 🙂

[@JesusSaves473]

Nice trailer. Yummy pizza. Thanks for sharing your adventure

[@aprilandvikas]

You're going to love Lynchburg! My boyfriend and I lived near that area for a few months for work and loved it! Not sure if you guys are still there, if you're into hiking, and how the weather is over there now, but I highly recommend hiking the Three Peaks of Otter! Sharp Top is one of my favorite hikes :) Safe travels!

[@sharonlundquist8433]

I hope it doesn't cost too much to get the electrical stuff fixed in your trailer. Oh, by the way, Happy New Year!

[@annwatrous1289]

Happy New Year 🎊🎉

[@darnellkohler7620]

Awesome camper! Even better truck!! Would love to buy it when you're done with it.

[@-RONNIE]

Nice video stay warm

[@bullsdeep-4758]

I love the truck it sounds good too!!

[@dennismilton1138]

I am a avid/and loyal watcher of your videos. I think I can speak for everyone when I say " more videos!" 2 per week is just not enough.

[@BOBSCOTTONLINE]

Great welcome center - when I travel that way it's my 1st stop to make a bathroom run and coffee (sadly its only 1hr away from my house so it is a bit close for a break :-)

[@lauralenau590]

In future, you might be able to use your knit caps as eye masks 👍

[@amberlassen5019]

I live in Maryland and as you got closer and closer to the state the more excited I would get. After the video.... a drive through with a mention of MD..... I was highly upset. I was looking forward to seeing where you all went in Maryland along with the food.

[@bryt.147]

Same!! I wonder if they will circle back to Maryland.

[@louannhickman4680]

Same

[@Theendlessadventure]

Ya, that was definitely not our intention to fly through. We didn't explain very well in the video, but we'd already booked an Airbnb in Virginia and just got too behind to do any major stop on our drive there. We'll definitely come back at some point. I'd love to try to track down where I lived when I was born and do some fun coastal things. We'll have to come back in warmer weather when we can really get out and explore 🙌

[@funnyside6]

Hey guys, I'm enjoying your videos. When you park in a parking lot look around for an area you won't take up so many spots. When you did your overhead, there were quite a few spots that appeared to be made for a rig like yours.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Unfortunately our rig is too long to pull through normal spots, so we have to park sideways, otherwise we'd block full driving lanes. We always choose spots furthest in the back away from busy entrances/exits 👍

[@WillemLuntungan]

Beautyful van.

[@johnsuh1381]

You, guys, are awesome!! You just passed through D.C, where I live.

[@yorukkizigeziyor]

Beautiful video 👍👍

[@tammycruz8189]

Happy New Year Guys This year brings you lots of wonderful travels and excitement and you get Clementine back very soon Safe travels always I love watching your channel and I wait every single week to see you guys so don't be strangers Mucho love from one of your number one fans and Michigan which is very cold Stay away because it's very cold come back when it's warm Tam 💜💜💜💜 ☕☕

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks, Tammy! And happy new year to you! Hopefully you're thawing out a bit up there 🥶

[@gfaverill]

Now you are a REAL RVer! Welcome to the club!

[@yeahyeahd]

not sure if anyone's mentioned this or you've already heard about it from research but there are a bunch of Love's travel centers that have spaces specifically for RVs. not a ton, not in every state, but worth looking into for the future. i think the prices vary depending on the location, but the one i stayed in and some of the others i've researched seem reasonable for a one night stay w/electricity and water hookups. i've only stayed in one but i felt incredibly safe. and the convenience of a gas station across the way is really nice.

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

Aha! I know where you are staying in Lynchburg! That is such a quirky place to stay. Don't want to spoil the surprise, but can't wait for the next video.

[@glenfdoss]

You two are entertaining.

[@jonothandoeser]

Sometimes it does help to totally turn the battery off. Then when you turn it back on again, it kind or resets the system and your switched will work again. It's easy to think of it as a hardware problem, but instead think of it more like a software problem. Treat the switches like a computer that's frozen (which is what they are) Just restart/reboot!

[@chrisguthrie8402]

Wishing you both a very Happy New Year! You guys both are the best goofballs I've seen on KZbin yet you make your videos so fun to watch, but I'm going to wish you nothing but the best in 2023 and God bless what you do stay safe and stay healthy

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thank you! And happy new year to you too!!

[@iaingraham4911]

Happy new year 🎉🎉🎉👍🇬🇧🙏✝️🙏✝️🍺🎄🎄

[@HappyDuckingHomestead]

I just love yall silly gooses

[@joannacurran8475]

I would have tried turning power off and give the fuses/switches to maybe reset.

[@josephhicks6989]

You two are awesome, I can't get over how much he looks like G Easy the rapper. Stay safe out there.

[@robertclubs9908]

Be safe my friends.

[@yvettepatterson5912]

Welcome to my home State 🙌🏾😘💜Much love from Norfolk Virginia 😎🎉🥇

[@RudixSA]

You can just pull out those circuit breakers to switch off the lights! Enjoyed the video, all the best for 2023.

[@silvercivic1996]

Love your channel

[@TimHayton]

Those "Triangles" are called Chocks. :) Happy New Year.

[@perfectscenario2]

Cool. I'm in southern Virginia. Less than 2 hours from Lynchburg.

[@sarah-phillips]

I've been to that rest stop! The finest rest stop of all the rest stops.
