TOWING in RUSH HOUR on the I15! - RV Traveling the USA

[@LukeandAlysha]

Thanks for tuning in to our video everyone! Next stop on the road trip St. George and it's BEAUTIFUL orange rocks. Also if you haven't seen our first time backing into a campsite video, here's that link until the next video is out!🍁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHXCoGaffMeDasU

Enjoy seeing the family having a good time. Chloe is beautiful and cute. Be safe out there.

[@LukeandAlysha]

Thanks Cindy and thanks for watching 😁🍁

[@lauriacrawford7574]

Awesome and stay safe and have an great night and see you and your family on the next journey 😊🧡💛

[@LifestylewithSarah]

Oh no your shoes …. Muddier than it looked in the water. Chloe’s really developing a personality!! Looks like she’s traveling really well!

[@jacquetaylor2714]

The little swivel mirrors from auto stores work awesome for the right side mirrors

[@davidjkittner]

You're doing fantastic! Keep up the great work! Safe and happy travels to you all.

[@LukeandAlysha]

Thanks David! 🍁

[@dalerobinson8456]

We have a 33' travel trailer, a rear camera is a godsend for changing lanes on the interstate. Good luck and safe travels.

[@LukeandAlysha]

Good to know, theyre sounding popular. May have to look into buying and installing one once back in Canada. We have the wiring prep there already so should be an easy enough task. Thanks for watchin!🙂🍁

[@kimmorrison5564]

Nice video, glad things are going great so far.... Have fun

[@LukeandAlysha]

Fun seeing new areas after doing so much BC and even something like a gas station franchise or whatever can be different and fun compared to our usual brands haha. Thanks for watching 🙂🍁

[@CPVinish]

Can't wait to see this video!! Just discovered you guys a couple days ago and I've been watching all your past videos. I'm from Okotoks Alberta and recently into camping with our 5th wheel rv. Looking forward to seeing your future adventures. 😀

[@LukeandAlysha]

Hey there! Happy to year you're enjoying them and thanks for joining in on the adventure! A few good years of Canada travel under our belts and on our channel but loving to get to explore the USA this year. Take care and thanks again for watching 😁🍁

[@lynnbeaton8428]

You got this Luke 👍we all have faith in you oh by the way Happy Easter to you all.

[@LukeandAlysha]

Thanks Lynn, you too!🙂🍁

[@jacc9311]

You are making such beautiful memories! Great video! Love Chloe’s laugh! Adorable!s

[@LukeandAlysha]

Thanks, sure are some great memories being made!🙂🍁

[@umagproductions4140]

I am excited to see more videos! Hearing about traffic makes me smile and compliments about scenery helps me realize how much I take the beauty of the US for granted. I admit I do chuckle when I hear yall say semi...makes me smile. Yall are fun to watch 👍🏻

[@LukeandAlysha]

Hey there! Thanks and happy to hear you're enjoying the content. Always funny hearing about the differences in the way we say things as Canadians as we're usually oblivious to the differences. Fun times in your beautiful country! 🙂🍁

[@673Piper]

We have an F150 with the same clip on mirrors. I also find the passenger side doesn’t give me the sight lines that I would like. What I did was add a Furion Camera on the back of the trailer. It can be on while driving. Between the camera and the mirrors I have NO blind spots. You can see who is behind you and changing lanes is stress free. It also makes backing into sites a bit easier. Ours has a built in microphone so my wife can give me direction while backing into the site without using a phone or radios. Well worth the cost for sure. Safe travels.

[@LukeandAlysha]

Good call, we've been seeing the Furion cameras and they do look nice. Interesting that you've had the same experience with the passenger mirror too, thought maybe I was just crazy and using it wrong haha. So far we're managing so we'll see if we invest in one once finished this loop. Thanks for watching 😁🍁

[@JJs-ClassC-Adventures]

If you are not unhooking for an overnight stay, you can lower your tongue jack just to touching the ground for support ( not lifting truck) then, put down stabilizer jacks. Also, you made the right choice to head straight through Salt Lake. All other routes have steep mountain passes and would take a long time.

[@LukeandAlysha]

Good point on putting the tongue down to help with it, that makes sense. It kind of surprises me that there is no "parking break" type option for trailers as well to help with that and take some of the severity in chalking your tires out of it. Getting through Salt Lake was pretty easy too in reality. Sitting in my slower lanes or sticking behind a semi and just cruising it out. Never realised Utah was such a high elevation area so could totally believe there are some crazy mountain passes. When we eventually head back we'll be going up there again so we'll see a little more of it in summer. Thanks for watching guys! 🙂🍁

[@jeffjohanning2166]

Great video. Definitely see your confidence growing towing the trailer. Be safe.

[@LukeandAlysha]

Hey there Jeff! Yeah it's going great and with more hours under my belt it's only getting better. Slow and steady and a little pre-planning go a long way. Take care!🙂🍁

[@jeffforbess6802]

Installing side and rear cameras on the trailer might help with your viewing issues. If you think Ford mirrors are small try a GM. It’s like they make them small on purpose or something.

[@LukeandAlysha]

Darn small mirrors hey! The camera option does sound popular may have to think about it down the road (haha). So far we're getting by going slow and cautious but perhaps once back in Canada. Thanks for watching!🙂🍁

[@jeffforbess6802]

@@LukeandAlysha I can tell you guys (youse guys, y’all, y’uns) are being careful. Good day, eh! I think I got all the accents. Great. Now I’ll be doing the McKenzie Bros. (And the moose (miice) from Brother Bear) for the rest of the day. “I spy, a vertical log…”

[@LifestylewithSarah]

Utah looks beautiful! And love the covered table area- blocks the wind maybe? Chloe seems to like the carrier - easier than a stroller!

[@LukeandAlysha]

Totally! We usually choose the backpack over the stroller just for easier navigating stores and Chloe enjoys it up there haha. And yeah the wind block and also a little sun shade likely. Some great State Parks down here it seems like! 😃🍁

[@LoriG75]

Welcome to U.S. traffic, lol. Looks like you fared well through SLC. Love Chloe’s sweet giggles. What a joy she is! You guys look like you are really enjoying this newest adventure. Stay safe and wishing you loads of fun and happy memories 😊

[@LukeandAlysha]

Thanks Lori! Yeah SLC wasn't terrible or overwhelming or anything thankfully. Just a matter of cruising the slow lanes haha. We're all really loving seeing the USA though and are so grateful to be down here. Going to be crazy that Chloe is going to learn to walk down here by the time we get back to Canada! 😮🍁

[@kevc3583]

Good evening you three 👋👋 Luke don’t ever second guess safety you ruler with red tip what a great idea Don’t worry about other peoples opinions always remember opinions are like assholes everybody’s got one by the way congratulations six lanes of traffic family safe and sound glad you guys are having a awesome time say good evening to the ladies for me have a great night ( Kev c )

[@LukeandAlysha]

Hey hey Kev! Good point on the safety first. The drive can always take longer and other things can be delayed but arriving safe has to be priority one. Thankful the trip has gone so smooth so far here in the USA. Thanks for watching as always and I'll let the girls know! Cheers! 🙂🍁

[@jimbauer5560]

Make an appointment to have a rear camera installed on your camper. I have one on my fifth wheel and it makes all the difference in heavy traffic. You can even get cameras on the side depending what type.

[@LukeandAlysha]

They sound popular on here! Will keep that in mind down the road, thanks 🙂🍁

[@ftkinsella]

Hey guys it looks like an old trip my wife and daughter Laura took down east. She was a baby too and we had a blast. You two are looking great, enjoy. Cheers

[@LukeandAlysha]

Hey Frank, thanks! It's a cool little area for sure. I didn't realize how high of elevation places of Utah were which makes for unique areas too. Been fun exploring the USA and so much to see still! Hope you have a good weekend on your end 🙂🍁

[@bhartisingh-wi7of]

Enjoy and have a safe journeys 🙏🌹♥️

[@LukeandAlysha]

Lovely sunny day on our end here. Loving it! Take care🌞🍁

I love traveling with you! Have fun and stay safe!

[@LukeandAlysha]

Thanks Cheri!😁🍁

When you get in to Las Vegas, you will be able to find a sonic.

[@anniegao6463]

hi like , u can park front my house and get water and electrity. . ok stop by next time . have fun . safe drive !

[@dejayreal]

Rear camera is a godsend , with a separate 12v monitor . So I can sleep at night plz tell me you have checked your tire pressures , as it gets warmer the further south you go the psi will change. What’s the average cost per litre down south ? Spot the D1SNEY (or any other combination) licence plate

[@LukeandAlysha]

Good idea on the camera! Also due for a tire check up as it has been a little gotten warmer, but we do occasionally check in on them! Will do it again now that you mention it though to double check them. Thanks for watching and take care!😁🍁

[@KyleBusch124]

Just so you know, 88 octane is E15 fuel (your truck can run this no problem), while 87 is E10 fuel. Typically E15 is about 10 cents less per gallon than 88 but you’ll sacrifice fuel economy slightly since it has a higher alcohol content. Safe travels!

[@LukeandAlysha]

Thanks for the info, and for watching!🙂🍁

[@Vanquishfanboy]

New subscriber lol! We have a very similar setup 30 foot bunk house 2014 platinum f150 And we’re celebrating our daughters 3rd bday in Disney land lol! Two weeks away

[@LukeandAlysha]

Haha nice sounds like a very similar set up! I'm sure you've got it all lined up but Bonelli Bluffs RV resort is what we lined up for near Disneyland ares. Hope you guys have a great time and safe travels. Thanks for watching 🙂🍁

[@brianelliott671]

Bonnelli bluffs is a very nice camp ground you will enjoy.

[@danielcrow5471]

Hey Guys just discovered you! What a ripper channel. We are about to leave Australia and drive aroubd the usa for 12 months with our two children 3 and 1. In a Ram 2500 towing our new travel trailer. Might cross paths! I have a quick question? How much of a gap is useually between filming and posting your videos? Keep up the good work guys. Exciting stuff.

[@LukeandAlysha]

Hey! Thanks glad you guys are digging it. Australia sounds like a wild time hope you're all having some fun, sounds like you've got some good travels going on too! Our time gap varies especially with number of uploads and if we post a story/the break in video instead of travel stuff to keep up. Currently out maybe 2 weeks right now? Usually we aim for a week just to not be live somewhere but yeah varies on how much filming we do. Thanks for watching and safe travels to you all!😁🤙🍁

[@suemeyer7551]

You are doing great. This set up seems to be perfect for you and your travels. I guess there would be secondary roads to take, all those lanes would stress me out. It’s worse in Cali! I certainly couldn’t do the freeways there lol Safe travels! Edit: it’s not fast food but try some Velveeta Queso Blanco! Can’t get it up here! I’d love to try it with a can of Rotel for queso!

[@LukeandAlysha]

Thanks Sue! Yeah it's been going really good and is actually a lot easier than expected. Slow and steady and patience when looking for openings, as well as just being on top of what lane we need to be in well in advance. Glad we made the switch up as it's been great so far. Also definitely would be other roads you could take to avoid the big city interstates if you were looking for an easier drive ever, just would add a little more time on to the trip likely. Love that the USA has so many route options and main roadways. Lots to see! 😃🍁

[@anniegao6463]

wow u pass vegas , pls stop by when u come back , invite your guys have dinner . this is ann from vegas

[@LukeandAlysha]

Hey Annie! We don't really have any campsites around Vegas unfortunately in the end. We tried to get Mt Charlestons Fletcher view but sadly no luck, looked beautiful online. Sorry to disappoint, but maybe someday!🍁

[@kyleswainston3032]

The I-15 Salt Lake City. Drove right past where I live. I drive it every day. Looks like you caught it on a good day. 80mph is not uncommon. South of SLC it is posted 80mph. What do you feel is your comfortable towing speed? Mine is about 65 - 70 with my 3/4 ton GMC with 6.0L gasser. Sand hollow and So. Ut has some pretty country. Also, be aware that last I checked California has a maximum speed limit of 55mph if you are pulling any kind of trailer and they enforce it,☹️. Look forward to the next post. P.S. my wife is southern Alberta and my mom Kelowna BC. Beautiful country up there.

[@LukeandAlysha]

Hey there, thanks for watching! I would say it handled well the odd time I was doing 70. Don't forsee a time I'd ever take it higher and am slowing it back a bit when I can to see if it helps on the mpg much. Take a little longer but save some money seems like an extra reason to enjoy the scenery. Take care!😁🍁

[@deansimpson6618]

Good job... some questions... do you guys have a US SIM Card yet? Where did you get it from? How are you using your phones in the USA? I see you're using GOOGLE Maps on your truck display... does that not eat up data on your phone plan? Unlimited SIM Card plans? Stay safe and look forward to the next video.

[@LukeandAlysha]

Hey there good question! We're gunna eventually make a video outlining it all and our options, but we have a mixture. We have one phone on a Canada plan with monthly roaming allowed, and one phone on an AT&T USA card with a data plan. Both just go to throttled speed past max cap so we still have maps etc just worst case slower video upload times for KZbin. We'll do a more thorough video someday though. Cheers!🙂🍁

[@dulcehernandez8228]

Great video 😊 Chloe is the cutest little girl 😍

[@LukeandAlysha]

Thanks Dulce! She is quite the little sweety for sure 🤩🍁

[@RV_with_Noni_and_Beard]

Chloe is going to be walking before you know it. Keep an eye on that girl!

[@LukeandAlysha]

So true! She's pulling herself up on everything now, which always makes me worried she is going to fall over and bonk herself. Lots of supervision required haha. I'm sure she'll be an active one once walking too. Going to be interesting! 😃🍁

[@icewipe]

Hi. Just discovered your channel. Very nice video. Just a quick question; which way did you go to salt lake city? Through yellowstone? The family and i are taking a road trip from winnipeg to LA. Thanks!

[@genesiesky3756]

85 octane is also common is Colorado, but with the F150 while towing, never go lower than 87.

[@LukeandAlysha]

Oh neat good to know. I really feel like I've never come across it while in Canada but maybe someone here will tell us eventually if they have it haha. Yeah I figured before even researching it to just stay as consistent as I could. I know some fancier vehicles require higher than 87 even so figured 85 must be pretty low tier. The random things you get exposed to whole traveling without expecting it haha, love it. Cheers!😁🍁

[@genesiesky3756]

@@LukeandAlysha If your truck engine begins to knock, you will know that your octane is too low, or your gas has been watered down.

[@debbiemurphy5553]

Where's your kitty? I may have missed this in a previous video?

[@LukeandAlysha]

Hey there Debbie. Not sure if we've directly addressed it in a video but she's sitting the USA trip out at least. With the extra border hassle, worrying about her in the desert heat while out exploring in the truck, lack of grassy areas etc and 4hr plus driving days we just figured it would work out better. We'll be sure to feature her in Canada sometime though later this year still!🙂🍁
