One of my nieces is a skydiver in Florida, and she also works there, and is certified to pack parachutes. Her brother is a rock climber and caver. Pray for their momma. 😊

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Oh wow! Very adventurous people! 😁 Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@cynditotemeierpowell3882]

Love Josh the RV Nerd haha!

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

He is real fun to watch! 😁

[@ChasingOurSunshine]

The FMCA show looks like it is worth going to! And how awesome to upgrade to more power! YOU GOT THE POWER! 😂

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Now we have that song in our head! Lol 😂 Thanks for watching y'all! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@rene-ro6oe]

I would never parachute. Our Son paraglides. That A was a rich man’s coach. Lol

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

We don't want to parachute either! Lol 😂 The class A was nice to tour. Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@marychristie6194]

Well -We are FMCA and Escapee members-We were at the FMCA Rally BUT we got there and got parked and then we got sick -We couldn’t leave our motorhome which is a Dutch Star ⭐️ We missed the whole rally -We were so sad 😢-I hope you will become members of FMCA and it sure would have been fun to run into you at the rally -We are already registered for the Oregon rally but sadly have to miss the Escapee Rally in Rock Springs Wyoming in June ⭐️🚌🇺🇸🎉

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Oh no! We are sorry to hear that ya'll got sick! It would have been awesome to have met up with y'all! We love being Escapees members and hope to be FMCA members one day too! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@malone1todd]

Our fridge getting warmer and warmer no codes on display, I saw a video that said vibration on the coils might fix. I used a battery sander, just the rubber, no sand paper, and put it on the bottom coil reservoir for about a minute. Fridge has run perfectly for the past few months. I think it rattles loose the particles that can form in the curves of the pipes, thus allowing the flow to resume.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thanks for sharing that info with us and glad to hear your fridge is running well! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@kyleshore6771]

Top notch work on the silicone Matthew. We didn't know you went to FMCA, that's pretty great. We like those Elevation batteries, thanks for the review.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@bobanddangsjourney]

Nice video guys - loved the walk through of those big rigs - one day perhaps... Adding that battery should help a lot, and the bus bars should be good. My only concern with using them is that they need to not be the thing that is supporting the batteries. If the batteries are stationary and don't wiggle against each other than this makes good sense. if they do wiggle against each other then the bus bars will start to put more tension on the battery posts - so at that point it depend on how well that battery post is constructed - many are not done well. Hopefully EXPLORE act will pass soon and get rid of this national park nonsense (remind folks to write their congressmen) - Love that area and we need to get back there - those cactus forrest are just magical as you point out. Thanks for bringing us along with you - this was a lot of fun and good tips provided! - Bob and Dang

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thanks so much! 😁 We really hope the EXPLORE Act passes too! We would love to be able to film at the National Parks! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@perrywillingham9109]

Yes it looked better when u smoothed it out ! I always do mine that way it looks better and I think a better seal ! Enjoyed the video once again ! Stay safe

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you and thanks for watching too! 😁 ~ Shion and Matthew

[@dalemarshall9736]

FMCA has expanded to include travel trailers and 5th wheels. I joined when I had my 5th wheel and now have travel trailer. Good benefits for a low annual fee and have been to some rallies. Unfortunately this one was too far away for me.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

That's awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing that info with us and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@katherinebuterbaugh8470]

Just wanted to pop in and see how you guys were doing. Hopefully all is well. Safe Travels and love and Prayers Always. 🙏✝️🙏✝️

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you so much for thinking of us and also praying for us! We really appreciate the prayers and we are still praying for a better job opportunity for Shion! Thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@KoriandJack]

So my grandparents had a 1978 motor home back in the day (Class A). They loved that thing! And when I was little ,I used to enjoy riding in it and traveling. Some parts of my life, my parents, my sister, and I took it out on vacation.. even lived in it for a little! I look at these motorhomes today and I immediately think of that old motor home and realize how far we have come! Its amazing! My grandparents wouldn't know what to do with so much room! 🤣 And I will pass on parachuting and stick to just staying on the plane. Or on the ground...I am pretty scared of heights (I get vertigo), and don't think it would be very enjoyable.. LOL.. 😆

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

That's an awesome memory! Thanks so much for sharing with us! We enjoy looking at the vintage Motorhomes too and agree they have come a long way! Thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@MilesWithViews]

Hi guys, Matthew the smoothing of the silicon looked good to me. I love how you were able to find off the side of the road that beautiful landscaping to explore. I think there is a bill in legislation to over turn back to being allowed to film in National Park. Check out RV Miles for info on this topic. Happy and safe travels! Tabatha n David

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you so much! We saw the RV Miles video too and we really hope the bill passes so we can film at the National Parks! 😁 Thanks for sharing that info with us and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@Tuttle723]

The smoothing was great!

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you so much! 😁 Thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@rickgriffith1]

It looks like recording in National Parks might be back on the agenda soon according to Jason from RV Miles. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏼😎

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

We saw that too! That would be awesome! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@Terry-JoWhitehead]

Yes, many KZbinrs have mentioned that if you are paid for you videos, most National Parks you will need a permit. Many places in Florida do not want you to publish videos and sometimes publish your pictures. As far as jumping out of an airplane, no. A friend in college was learning to parachute and I went with him and was able to fly with them and yes I had to wear a parachute too because doors were open and no seatbelts. Refrigerator door opened during travel and a little water on the floor and a few things we lost but the camper was really cool messy … all over the floor. Enjoyed the video!

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thanks for sharing all that info with us and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@ohioclassCcamper]

Good video. Hope everything goes well. Will keep you in prayers. Safe travels.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you so much for the prayers and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@xaviermartinez6642]

I give it a 👍🏽, looks good.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@rossschumacher9674]

We did our fridge conversion also best thing to do

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

That's awesome! We love our fridge conversion too! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@Life.After.Retirement]

Enjoyed your video. Our fridge died last year and we wanted a residental replacement, but could not find on to fit our hole that was available for imediate pickup, so we ordered the JC Refrigeration Dual Compressor 12v cooling unit and swapped our old ammonnia unit. It worked, but was a real pain, required 30 amp power. Our fridge is in a slide and it's virtually impossible to run another wire in the access port that we have available, so I just combined two 15 amp circuits and it worked, for a while, then we found that running another 30 amp circuit from the battery directly through the lower access door on the outside of the RV would get it working again. Then we had a wire to the freezer compressor burn up, it was too small of a wire to handle the current. JC sent us a replacement wire that was much larger. It started working again until it was the weather warmed up. We continued having issues until this year when we added an additional fan to cool the condensor on the back of the fridge. So far it's working, but we plan to replace it this fall. This dual compressor unit will burn through 400 amp hours in a day. Takes a lot more power to run than we were expecting.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

We are sorry to hear y'all are having issues with your fridge. Thanks for sharing your fridge story with us. It's definitely not fun having fridge issues. Thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@Tuttle723]

Yes I would and have jumped just got fun almost 100 times. It was just for the thrill

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Oh wow! That's a lot! Thanks for sharing!

[@earlhoch9134]

Looked fantastic, great job....

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@airstreamer]

That is how the National Parks are set up right now. You have to apply for a permit (and you may not be granted, even after paying for the application) if you are going to film on any device. You can take pictures all day long, but not video. They are working on changing this, and they are close. As long as our sitting President signs it. Neat seeing the para gliders. Not for me. I did love going up in a hot air balloon though! I love your Custer State Park t-shirt Shion! 😍 - Michelle

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

We hope the bill gets passed soon, so we can film in the National Parks! Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@Roger30303030]

Love it 🎉

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you and thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@keithkrueger5352]

I don't know why anyone would jump out of a perfitly good airplane.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

We wouldn't want to do it! 😂 Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@sunshinervtravlers57]

Love your solar set up. Very nice

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@joegallo6447]

Good job..

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@Roger30303030]

Agree🎉

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you!

[@Tuttle723]

Yes our solar system was fixed in minutes! Linc only had to plug in his computer for a few minutes and ask was good!

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

We are so glad everything is fixed! 😁

[@edmaurer5059]

I loved my spacious motorhome, but my new 5th wheel has propane tanks that I take for refills instead of driving to get a propane refill. P.S. a stabilizer tripod on my 5th wheel hitch really helps.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@bobknob8440]

Jumped out of a plane for my brothers bachelor party. Rush man. Rush

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Oh wow! That must have been fun! Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@jeffsteele1295]

Thanks so much I enjoyed your video !

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@wondererschasinghorizons]

Good choice on using your finger to smooth the sealer. Makes a better seal 😊

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@rvgoingnow]

We were at the FMCA all week. We had a great time! The conventions next year are in Perry, GA in the Spring and Gillette, WY in the Fall.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

We had so much fun and we only got to attend a few hours! We have heard how much fun the rallies are and we hope to join someday! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@titaniumhen]

Howdy friends! One good thing about running your wet finger over the silicone is that it helps to push the silicone into the joint and it knocks out air bubbles - you will get better adhesion doing this (How do I know this asks a long-time glazier?) - Yes, you did the right thing, and as for looks, it is hard to tell in this video. Cool tip on the rubber suction cup, let us know if it worked. Happy travels - staying tuned for the next video.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thanks for sharing those tips with us and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@georgehowe5941]

Yes I like your videos I have a question though how much water does that ivy handles

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you so much! Our RV has a 62 gallon fresh water tank! Thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@PeeWeeHenson]

PARACHUTING? IF IT AIN'T DANGEROUS IT AIN'T FUN.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Lol 😂 Have y'all jumped out of a plane? Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@ThreeLeggedJourney]

128 jumps, it’s incredible

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing your experience with us and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@The-Wills-on-wheels]

We love Dave and Michelle! We met them at Soledad tt

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

That's awesome! We LOVE them too! They are some awesomeness people! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@ohioclassCcamper]

And no I would not try jumping out of air plane. Don't really even enjoy flying.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thanks for sharing!

[@JetTech1966]

You did a great job on the silicone, no question about that. But I noticed something medically disturbing. Your right hand shake and I noticed you tried to cover it up on the battery. I'm concerned about you, I hope you've had that looked at ok? If you haven't please please see a Dr. soon ok? I love you alls videos and want to make sure you both are ok.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you. Matthew has had lots of years on the computer and that has affected his hand from years of over use, especially with using the mouse repeatedly since he's right handed. Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@earlhoch9134]

Yes, took two weeksto getrid of the smell. And lets talk about dead mouse! Horrible!!!

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Oh no! 😱 We are sorry that happened! Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@bertkelly7650]

Good job fingering and bus barring. I don't think I would even leave my home fridge on for a two week vacay. Chest freezer, probably. We just got back on our 1st outing of 4 days. (that's all our tanks allow)

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thank you so much and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@PeeWeeHenson]

STILL PACKING THAT CHAMPION GENERATOR AROUND? COPPER WIRE IS RECYCLABLE. WE BREAK GROUND SOON.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

It had not sold when the video was out! Send us pictures when you start construction! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew

[@mimi5117]

nope i like my feet on the ground period.

[@BrokenDreamsReborn]

Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew
