The way Ben told the story about spreading his mom's ashes instead of Borax was hilarious. I am sorry for Ben's loss though. Love your guys videos

[@debbiejamison3883]

Worse feeling ever to not remember where you parked your vehicle😮

[@jasoncarpp7742]

I know the feeling. Most frustrating.

[@k_enn]

When I read your title, I thought your Jeep got stolen or died. Glad it did not. But my towed vehicle is an Xterra, and at the stop before Savannah mine had a mishap and the engine was destroyed as a result of a towing mistake. Talk about rough times. I was able to get it down to Daytona were I was booked for a few weeks (suggestion, try Sunshine Holiday Daytona campground, an Encore resort) , and was able to find a replacement engine and a trustworthy shop. But it was definitely rough times.

[@betterwithrum]

Protip, put an Apple AirTag in your Jeep. Hopefully you never need it for your car being stolen, but I use it to find my keys, car, wallet, dog, RV (yup, I've got one in the RV too!), and laptop bag.

One thing we try to keep in our 5-er closet is a hoodie we’ve treated to be water repellent. Helps on Misty days and when you just aren’t sure what the weather will hold. Love watching your adventures. Retiring in a couple of months and planning to be traveling a lot more.

[@wesalexander2693]

You guys are a wonderful family, love following all of your adventures! We've RV'd to Savannah several times, a beautiful, historic old city. As you noted, depending on the time of year you are there, it can be very crowded.

[@patpowles2129]

We did a road trip in April and drove through Texas. We stopped at a Bucc-eyes in Royce, TX. Loved it.

[@iamfaithfullyhis]

Loved Savannah! Thanks! Sometimes a closed door opens up a new unexpected surprise!🎉 The talking dog💬 is amazing! 🐾 Buckee's looks like a lot of fun & those brisket sandwiches! 😋

[@dawndisney7465]

Great video, I LOL! I loved Dakotas face when you said "Charity improved with age", so cute. Might I add that your kids are so adorable, really sweet, and I love the connection you all have. You can't buy THAT at any store (even Buccees😄)!! Amazing parenting right there! So glad I found your channel so long ago, it's been fun watching them grow up into awesome young adults.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks so much!

Thank you for sharing your adventures. Those geodes look amazing!!! Sympathies on the Borax/BenMom confusion.

I spent a lovely weekend about 10 years ago in Savannah and it didn't disappoint! Thanks for taking me back to great memories.

"Remember that time dad fed grandma to the ants?" 🤦‍♀️🚘😄.

[@GratefulGlamper]

😂

[@DavidJones-su9ob]

We have been to that Bucee's many times and as it has become more popular, it has become an absolute ZOO. I am surprised you were able to find a parking space. Many people will park at the gas pumps, go inside to shop and then return to their vehicles and sometimes not even buy gas; and of course this adds to the congestion. They need some sort of pump monitor personnel stationed outside to discourage this kind of behavior. We go there because of the low gas price (they are located near a Sam's Club and compete on price) but with the congestion, it really does not seem to be worth the hassle.

[@ernie7065]

I HAVE A BETTER SOLUTION FOR AN RV SITE IN SAVANNAH. And for lots of other places: join both the Elks & the Moose. They have lodges in many cities, and "some" have spaces that a member with an RV can use overnight(s) for a donation or a small fee. The Elks have such a lodge very close into downtown Savannah. YES. Get an electric only RV site for a donation within 20 minutes of downtown Savannah. My wife and I stayed there 2 nights on a recent trip. And yes, we were also amazed at so few campsites that were available elsewhere in the area. BTW, by joining both the Elks & Moose, you will be helping them do good in their communities. Enjoy.

[@josephcaprara898]

Elks, I’d like that, how does that happen?

[@ernie7065]

@@josephcaprara898 Some lodges actually have small campgrounds. The Elks lodge at Zephyrhills FL some has full hookups, some partial hookups, and boondock sites. You have to call and ask. But $20/25 per night is appreciated.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@ernie7065]

@Grateful Glamper The lodge in Savannah is really close to town. 2 or 3 electric only spots. Once you are a member, you can take your kids in, too. Always call ahead. Some lodges are more active than others. Not all answer their phones right away, but when you really need them, and they have a site, the rewards are worth it.

[@teressarenslow5992]

I didn't find it the "Worst Camping Trip Ever!" It was....different! But it all turned out nicely in the end! Thanks for taking us with you! Have fun and stay safe!

Sometimes the "worst trip ever" will be the one you laugh about later and say "Remember that trip?" Looks like you made the best of everything. Thank you for another wonderful video. I hope to visit Savannah sometime.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Thanks for watching

[@carolynnkaster9457]

The first Buc-ees we went to didn't have RV parking. We wound up getting gas and leaving the RV in the gas lane. The sandwiches are good but very expensive.

[@phantomsmithy]

If you've got bluetooth in your Jeep's radio. Pair a phone to it. Apple Maps will auto mark your parking spot when you turn off the ignition.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Ahhh, I remember this happening in the past but it stopped working. I was assuming it marked the location when detecting the cord being unplugged. I’ll be connecting up the Bluetooth! Thank you!

[@lauriebeth59]

You guys are so funny! Love your honesty! Camp on! Our first long trip is may for a month. Yellowstone here we come! Yes we made reservations for the whole trip. Traveling 400 miles a day! Hopefully we will survive! Love your organizing videos. We are getting ready! My husband,myself and 2 little Maltipoos in a 21 ft trailer. So getting ready-to be more organized!

[@lauriebeth59]

And Black rifle coffee is the best!

[@ZeeJones-o3m]

I love your very informative and fun videos. But I gotta say it's sad that you need electronic devices to find your car. LOL What caps it all off is the comment about "we need some Chick Filet"...maybe your diet is part of your problem.

[@ekummel]

Savanah also has a great night-time ghost tour....takes you right through that cemetery! And the guide warned us to not step in any puddles of water....due to the horses...

[@ursulagreen8374]

I bought some Buck-ee bbq sauce too. Try the pulled pork sandwich, and breakfast sandwiches or breakfast tacos. Yummm

[@ursulagreen8374]

Omg Buck-ees!!!! Haha we just discovered them going across the country to Florida on our way to Disney World. How funny. We stopped at about 3 of them. They have the best sandwiches and breakfast sandwiches there. We went a lot of money each time. One thing I didn't like, was people get gas and then just leave their car there. We got blocked in cause we were waiting for someone to finish in front of us, then the guy finished, and left his car there. What an ass. He knew we were waiting in our huge 40 ft Rv to get gas, and looked at us as he walked away. We had to wait till he came back and move. His wife was yelling at him because he.left his car and we were still there.

[@beckylawrence2501]

I love Buc-ees. We live near Daytona and have been there several times. We love the brisket. The first time I walked in there, I was amazed that the store was so big and that they have grocery carts. I was also impressed with the size of their restrooms. It seems like no matter what time of the day we are there, Buc-ees is always busy.

[@Thatcntrygirl1]

Yes I completely struggle with map’s especially on “walk” mode

[@rain-wanders]

The story about the ashes cracked me up. My parents have traveled with my paternal grandmother's ashes on a few of their trips with the idea of spreading her somewhere. I could see them making the same mistake accidentally. I've not been to Savannah yet, it's definitely on my to-visit list!

[@margaretpare8206]

You guys walk ALOT!!! I don't think I could keep up with you

[@GratefulGlamper]

We like to walk when we can! I think we put in about 12k steps this day.

I hear ya sister! Maps are not my friend! My hubby says I couldn't find my was out of a brown paper bag!😢😮😂❤

[@GratefulGlamper]

[@JanetHarsh]

Just a note that, despite all the warnings that you have to be 30 feet or less to stay at a state or national park, this does not seem to be a universal truth. Skidaway State Park, at least, allows up to 70 feet. I have noticed you staying at other state parks, national forests, etc. with your rig. So how often is the length really a problem?This is especially of interest to people looking to buy a rig or get in to the rv lifestyle. And you sure can't trust an rv salesman to steer you right.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Interesting enough we’ve never had a length issue staying at State and National parks but more so at some the Thousand Trails Rv parks in Florida during “peak” (winter) season.

[@aliveandkicking17]

My wife and I love you channel! We will be on the road soon. Within a couple of years! Keep up the great family time. God bless

[@gradydees9981]

We loved Skidway Island State Park. Stayed there last June on our way up the East Coast.

[@GratefulGlamper]

It’s an amazing state park!

[@TravisHershberger]

Turn on location history on one phone. If you forget to pin the location, you can look at your location history to figure out where you parked. This has saved me a number of times now while hiking in unfamiliar state parks.

[@GratefulGlamper]

👍🏻

We took that trip and the historic steps.. they laughed and took pictures of me because I was terrified. 😂

[@StaitlyNatters]

The best tip I can offer you, is to drop a pin on Google maps to where you parked. You could also use your gps location and save those coordinates.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Loved the positive out of a negative. But, the Black Rifle mess has got to go. They hate their customers and have cheated and lied to the people they were supposed to represent. I'm also a vet but but that didn't stop them from blocking me and others like me who were having problems getting our coffee.

[@GratefulGlamper]

That’s a bummer to hear

[@d.howardcolesjr4862]

@Grateful Glamper yes it was. They had some great coffee. And I try to Support folks like that. It was win win until they apparently went off some deep end.

We camped at Skidaway Island SP 2 nights and left on St. Patrick's Day, maybe we saw your RV and didn't even realize it. We went to the city and parked our 26ft Class C at the visitor center RV parking and took a Trolley Tour which was great but looking at your video I think your photo opportunities walking are better. Savannah was so crowded with traffic and people then we've seen on other visits. It's a beautiful SP but the layout of the campground is confusing even with their map.

So when I read the title I thought "worst nightmare" that you lost the jeep while towing. Your actual version was much funnier than that. 😀We visited Savannah last May and LOVED it. We parked at the edge of town at on of the lots of the hop on/off bus tours which was a great way to see the town. That said, we totally missed JW Marriott. Very cool! When can we expect to see the RVer buying tips on actual real rain gear? 😄

[@GratefulGlamper]

[@maryannabrahamson5345]

Skidaway Island State Park is our favorite we’re from Savannah so when we go visit we always stay there I can’t believe you only spent one day there there’s so much more to do next time go to Tybee Island and Fort Pulaski, also Mrs Wilkes is only open Monday through Friday no weekend but it’s pretty amazing

[@GratefulGlamper]

Good to know, thanks for the tips!

[@ChrisW228]

My husband and I visited Mrs. Wilkes in 2010. We had quite the experience while we were there. The line waits outside, but then they bring about a half a dozen people at a time inside when your table is going to be ready within a few minutes. While we were waiting inside, I noticed that an elderly man to my left started choking. I immediately pointed it out to my husband, who knows CPR better than I do, and he sprung into action. When the Heimlich didn’t work, he laid the man on the ground and began CPR, while I went outside to let everyone know that there was going to be a delay and that I would bring more information as soon as possible. Everyone stopped serving and eating to see what happened. Little prayer circles popped up all around the dining room and kitchen. The ambulance arrived quickly and took over for my husband, but the man, Mike, didn’t regain consciousness before the ambulance took him away. We were very concerned because the ambulance didn’t speed away with lights and sirens as we expected. It just rolled away slowly and did the speed limit with no fanfare. We have always wondered how the rest of the day went for Mike, but I’m sad to say that we weren’t too optimistic.

[@GratefulGlamper]

Oh man, that’s quite the experience!

[@west5869]

Just missed you at Skidaway Island State Park, we left on that raining day. You missed the St. Patty's parade, 2nd largest in the country. We need to go back, so many things we did not get to see. Fun! Thanks for the video.
