Overnight RV Camping in a Cracker Barrel PARKING LOT! - We’re Locked Out AGAIN!?

[@outhereexploring]

The country boy breakfast with the sirloin is my absolute favorite.

[@Mayimbeoo7]

Cracker Barrel Fried chicken is amazing! The biscuits are great as well.

[@Wondertwinsmom01]

I freaking love you guys and this video is exactly why! So fun, down to earth and willing to show us your flaws as well as your more polished side. Hands-down one of my favorite all-time travel KZbinrs! I’m loving tagging along with you on this trip!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Aww, thanks so much! We hate when things like this happen and of course would love to keep it to ourselves, but hey, everyone makes mistakes 🤪

[@nadynemotherofcatz]

The lemon pepper trout at Cracker Barrel is excellent and relatively healthy.

[@garulusglandarius6126]

Another enjoyable video thanks guys. That fried chicken looked perfect 👍 have fun and stay safe. Best wishes from Britain 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@johntatman9168]

The Cracker Barrels we've stayed at all had designated RV parking. Nice to know those in shopping areas may not. We always eat there as I feel it's a way to thank them for allowing campers to stay overnight.

[@davidsavage5930]

Door key pad lock sounds like a excellent idea!! Maybe hide a spare camper key somewhere for the time being. Stuff happens

[@jeffstone7261]

having a companion to share your locked out adventure(it happens to a nomad eventually-ex key in truck etc) is all what its about-meals and all that togetherness shared -seems like simple stuff-yet completely different alone. embrace that and be thankful for each other. forget your this is the way its supposed to be attitude and you will feel your life is special. best wishes

Yay! Now entering New England! So much to see here, Vermont Country Store, Cog Railway in New Hampshire, Kittery Trading Post in Maine, Cape Cod Massachusetts, Newport Rhode Island Mansions, Then Somewhere in Connecticut, lol, I'm in the SouthCoast area of Mass. with Battleship cove and a Borden Flatts Lighthome Lighthouse in Fall River, Ma. you can actually rent and stay overnight., My wife and I look forward to your vids. you remind us of ourselves when we had your energy!

Yummy Cracker Barrel. Glad you got back into the trailer. Thanks for content

[@boudica5883]

Thanks y'all!!!! Now I'm craving the Cracker Barrel. Both of the meals looked delish but I am more of a chicken fried steak gal. Oooo but holy moly the crunch on Eric's 🍗😉

[@bettinayoungs5876]

We frequent the local Cracker Barrel here in Connecticut often and regular, and it's not at all unusual to see one or more RVs or camper vans parked overnight in the lot. They have yummy food there, plus great merchandise in the store!! And they all look the same! Once, while vacationing in Florida, I stopped at one assuming they'd carry more summer clothes than they do up here in New England. Nope! Exactly the same merchandise as in CT. In fact, one of the employees told me that the merchandise actually comes with instructions on where it must be placed in the store so that every CB looks the same! I'm glad over-nighting there worked out for you. Thanks for another fun video!

[@beamusedrev]

I stay at Cracker Barrel a lot. Love them. Glad you liked it, too. Happy trails.

[@jj-if6it]

Totally missed the last video (it wasn't recommended??), so going back to watch it first!

Haha, well glad we can keep it interesting...although hopefully this is the last lock-related interesting event 😅🤞

Here's an idea... keep an extra key in your truck or a magnet box somewhere for now.

[@tomf9292]

I’ve stayed at many CBs from PA TO FLA. I love the breakfast sandwich. Way better than WM. The employees are always friendly and like to chat about the campers. TY CB!

[@itr0863]

Thanks for confirming this. I have also heard from many people that Cracker Barrel is one of the best places for spontaneous Boondocking situations.

[@MyBackyardScience]

Ah, the Cracker Barrel. Our kids loved going to these places while on vacation! 🙂

[@vickilssrb4405]

Due to life circumstances, I ended up living in my SUV for over 4 months this summer. Staying one night at a Cracker Barrel was very comfortable for me! However, I did end up spending most nights on top of a hospital parking garage closer to my storage unit. I usually had the corner all to myself and felt very comfortable and safe. I especially loved it during thunderstorms! 😁🤗

[@VANESSASDAILYLIFE]

Lol 😂y’all are too funny I’m happy that y’all had a better experience with overnight parking

[@inthesun3884]

We had our lock fail on a brand new RV when we were on the way to the beach with our 2 small (3&4 year old) grandchildren. Ours has a laundry chute in the bedroom closet just over the cargo hold. We had the 4 year old climb through it and open the door. We did replace the lock with something more substantial. It created a fun memory and all the new littles had to try it. 😂

[@ouryoutube2670]

We prefer Cracker Barrel. I don't know if you know this but every Cracker Barrel has a billboard on the highway near it's location regardless of the direction of travel. To help RVers out, on the billboard usually in the lower corner, look for the bus icon. This indicates it has dedicated extended parking spots for buses and RVers. Another tip for great stays is using RVParky. Safe travels.

[@tramacmeg8103]

I've been RV'ing for 40+ years and never knew you could park at Cracker Barrel. Nice!!!! Your spot was perfect for us because we travel with dogs, so an easy place to walk them. Perfect!! Safe travels!!!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh glad we could share it with you. From our experience it's much quieter and more private than other parking lots. And they had tons of grassy areas 👍

[@karenkingrey6142]

I love your videos! You guys have always seemed to keep your channel true to how you started it. I’m glad of that. I always enjoy the content and it’s always so much fun to hang out with you!! 😊

[@triciabates9942]

Fun fact, the original Cracker Barrel was down the road about a mile from my house. They tried to move the original build to the fair ground, but it fell a part. Now, there is a new build that has a Mexican restaurant.

[@rachellewidmann3621]

Cracker Barrel! The first and only times I went was while I was in your childhood home state. Some great memories from my time in Missouri were had there! There is nothing like that restaurant. You almost feel like you’re living in a slightly different time period, a few decades in the past. It’s the best!!! Such a great United States experience. I’m from Canada we definitely don’t have any here! Also, I love that your first memory of staying at a Cracker Barrel includes locking yourselves out! Honestly the best! 🔐😂♥️

[@Theendlessadventure]

Cracker Barrel is definitely a memorable experience! Such a quirky place. And ya...our luck that the best overnight parking lot experience so far is also where we get locked out. Can't we have just one uneventful overnight stay?? 🤪

[@rachellewidmann3621]

@@Theendlessadventure You definitely deserve peace! You guys handle everything so well, taking things in stride that would likely frustrate the average person beyond belief. You’re the best. It’s so fun to come along with you on your journey! Thanks so much for sharing! Safe and happy trails. 🤗❄️💛

[@JD-vl5yh]

I bit of lock advice... Get another key made and a magnet box and hide it somewhere on the OUTSIDE of your rig. Lol

[@adam60778]

I’ve been following you guys for almost 2 years now! I live right near Albany! So happy to see you exploring New York but also sad I missed you guys! Thanks for showing so many amazing parts of the state and also showing me a few things I had no idea existed my whole life!

[@fbr65]

We just recently started staying at Cracker Barrel. On our first night, we backed our van over the curb, trying to save space (it was a Friday night). We parked in a corner near a couple other campers. We had to move around 1 AM when the sprinklers came on and started washing the bottom of the back end of the van where we were sleeping. I just pulled forward, taking up 2 spots (or so I thought, I really took up 4). When we left the next day, we spotted the RV parking spots behind the store.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh no!! Well at least it doesn't sound like anyone was bothered, expect you guys. 😅 And next time you'll know to look in the back. See we're all learning things here! 🤣

[@raymondclark1785]

My wife and I were first time campers just a few weeks ago. We stopped at the travel center in Beckley West Virginia but it was totally closed. We drove down the road to get gas and the attendant told us about the next door Cracker Barrel overnight parking! It felt a bit odd for the first time but they had like 8 big spaces for RVs, buses or campers. We got up in the morning and ate breakfast, we felt it was right to do for the free parking. 😁

[@iamfaithfullyhis]

[@lynnshaw2365]

Lovely to see a Cracker Barrel it’s years since we have been to USA , we spent a year living in W.V so enjoyed going to the store my favourite was their biscuits, country ham & apple butter. Look forward to watching other states you visit.

[@travelertrome8449]

Love Cracker Barrel! I used to work in the music industry and went on bus tours with bands across the country. Memories of Cracker Barrel stops in Tennessee and in Pennsylvania. I love their fried okra! They now have some here in California!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Sounds like the perfect stop for a road trip with a country band! 🤠 They're out in CA, now?? I feel like they might not be as RV-friendly out that way, but we'll definitely look into it. It'd be awesome to have a way to keep camping costs down out there 😅

You should always pull your trucks nose into the last spot and turn the wheels outward to make it easy to pull out. This keeps anyone from parking in front of you and in back of you and blocking you in.

I love Cracker Barrel. I remember a time, back in the early 1990’s, that you could not find a Cracker Barrel north of southern Ohio.

[@lisadeharthansen7076]

If it makes you feel better, we are getting work done on our sailboat, so we are renting a bedroom in Colamia, Mexico. I did not realize that if you leave your room, you should NOT press the lock button on the inside of the bedroom (or bathroom), because even a key to the room (or bathroom) will NOT unlock the door! They had to get a knife and break in!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh no!! Sorry you had to figure that out that hard way 🙈

[@akgobears]

Have stayed at several Cracker Barrels traveling to and from the west coast to Indiana visiting familly in our 27ft Class C...Not to many cracker barrels out west (a few but not many) so we try to hit them for parking and eats when traveling for at least a couple times...Favorite one is Tinsley Park Illinois...It has a little lake by the parking RV spaces there....Another way of using parking lots for overnighting is ""CASINOS""...Same thing, park for the nite, and usually eats for us...Maybe even throw down a couple bucks now and then but you dont have too....Just check in with security to see if they have any requests where to park or whatever. Sometimes they may want you to sign up for the casino card which is free and little hassle for a free nights stay...There are Casino camping books for RV's out there showing which ones allow parking...Some even have RV parks if you need hookups because of hot weather...

[@rebekahc1259]

I've never been to a Cracker Barrel! Looks way better than what I'd have thought. I grew up on the East Coast (of Canada), so this beautiful Fall scenery is making me pretty nostalgic. I currently live in Southern Spain, and seriously miss having proper four seasons. 😢

Hey, my family name is Lovett. American born, but my ancestors came via Scotland with the surname Fraser. Somewhere along the line Fraser turned to Lovat, and Lovat turned to Lovett. Besides a small-ish extended family, I've never encountered any other Lovetts. Curious, do you know your ancestral line?

[@marciabrainard9837]

Stand at the door to shake rug so you can walk thru it again to track In and do it all over again….??????

[@marciabrainard9837]

Why did you pic Cracker Barrel? You should let them know you are staying in parking lot and ‘ask if ok’. Some city laws don’t allow overnite parking,and talking to them , they will tell you ‘where’ to park , not to take up 10 Reg parking , CB’s have designated RV spots to ‘drive in’

[@Banagal]

Oh yes, I've been locked out before too. Nothing like a locksmith to brighten the day so you can warm the toes once inside. Cracker Barrel has good food and it's so nice of them to allow overnight parking. Can you order another lock for the door to replace the other one? You two are great at posing in costumes. Such great body language and expressions. Perhaps you should be in acting?

[@debscoular6919]

I locked our keys in our camper, luckily (?) The keys that go to your outdoor storage areas are universal. I borrowed a key from a neighboring camper and called underneath our queen size bed slash storage area, was able to unlock the door. It was not a fun moment it was very awkward but we didn't have to call a locksmith LOL

Three cheers for Cracker Barrel! If they're letting you park up I think it's fair that you have dinner in their store. I do the same at country pubs in the UK. Over here, Cracker Barrel is actually a name of a brand of cheese. I think its owners, Kraft, have had a few run-ins with your country store chain over the use of the name on certain products. Speaking of country ways, I think you two should go back to the old "homestead lock" of a heavy plank barring the door. The Black Series lock looks a bit too sophisticated for you. Good film.

[@JimmyGAR1]

Kraft Cracker Barrel cheese is common for a long time in USA grocery stores at least on the east coast. Guess they worked out the name issue a long time ago. Cracker Barrel restaurants are everywhere and usually right next to highways and shopping malls.

The one thing I learnt from an early aged adult was always check that one has the door key on one when leaving, Yale nightlatch locks are without mercy. Get an auto change over valve for the LPG bottles, the fridge won't shut down then. They have a colour change or pointer indicator to show when they have changed to the spare bottle so the manual switch can be switched over and the empty bottle changed. Oh hang on this is a loaner RV.

I know you said you think Cracker Barrel will be your 'go to' parking lot campsite but you might also want to try Costco - they also allow RV'ers to overnight there. I see all the time here in Canada. Bonus - many Costco's also have propane filling stations and it is MUCH cheaper than most other places.
