Hey Craig, the 2024 Ford F350 SRW, HO, Platinum, Tremor I just picked up will drive itself “Lane Centering” and “Adaptive Cruise Control” will drive itself for 15 seconds at a time then you push on the steering wheel to let it know you are there. It’s available on most of the trim levels. Come to the dark side with Ford brother, the water is warm… 1200 foot pounds of torque and 500 horsepower it pulls our Z3610 like a dream!!

I have the 2021 F150 with lane centering and adaptive cruse control and I tow with it all on. It makes a huge difference! It takes a lot of stress away. Still need to keeps hands and eyes on

[@8654ZuluFoxtrot]

Ford is by far the best for tech in trucks IMHO. They simply corner the market with these because of the massive amount of attention to detail they put into them. I love the look of the Ram trucks, but they don't have the interior fit and finish and tech that Ford has.

We had two dogs before we had kids. My husband had a favorite and she died from kidney failure at age two. It was devastating . But after the other died from old age, he realized how much he loved them both the same, just differently. After I ran my last Boston Marathon, I decided to slow it down and now I just run half marathons. Tough keeping motivation on the road. You’re doing great!

Get a chamois for the windows or wherever else drops of water accumulate (ceilings). Then ring it out outside. Then it has no chance of running downwards to stuff it can damage over time. Cheers.

[@gregcook3989]

Hey guys, we also have a Z3100, #99 and it’s at the factory now having some repairs done along with some upgrades we want. Craig, get a measurement from to high point of the front A/C to a fixed point on one side. We chose measuring to the top of the opening at the Nautilus water system. Then we can measure from there to the ground after we hook up to the truck and know exactly what our height is, no mater how loaded or unloaded the camper is. Also, running the furnace does not add moisture to the air. The combustion happens in a chamber which is vented out the side of the camper. The combustion while using the stove or oven does release some moisture, but the furnace can’t. People think it does, but because warm air holds more moisture in suspension, they blame it on the furnace. Electric heat will do the same thing. Just leave the bathroom vent open a little because it’s height than the kitchen vent. You will lose some warmth but it will take some moisture with it. It would take a house-size dehumidifier to pull it all out while living in the southeast.

[@wildrvlife]

Oh how funny, our RVs are probably neighbors then, as ours is currently at the service center now! And good to know about the furnace! Everyone has always said that the furnace will add moisture because of the propane but it makes sense that there is the vent outside that would let it out. thanks for the tip!!

[@longgone2023]

@@wildrvlifewe learned this lesson the hard way in very cold weather at a private membership campground where the power went out. Usually we’d use electric heaters but we ended up using a propane catalytic heater that was put in by the original owner. Because our alternative was running the generator so we wouldn’t kill the batteries, we used the wall furnace. Gallons poured down the windows and did some damage. The2003 Winnebago 110 outlets have a spacer that sticks out about an inch with a flimsy plastic cover. I am glad Brinkley 110 outlets are flush with the walls and not directly under a window. We had to replace ours that got soaked. We ended up putting every towel we owned on the dashboard, on the table and behind the metal blinds in the kitchen and bath. An 03 motorhome is no match for freezing weather. We had no freezing issues, thankfully but we did have to start the generator to plug in a hairdryer to heat the water valve to get our hose off. It was a weird vacation! The mat outside the door was one of those plastic woven cheap ones and it turned into an ice rink. The dog skated across it totally after he jumped off the bottom step. He turned around and gave me one of those dog looks like it was my fault.

[@maxsmart8786]

Victoria, at 2:16 I notice you activating slides while your door was closed. It can be very helpful to open your door while activating slides. Slides are pretty well sealed now and the air pressure building up while you move slides in or out can be considerable. This adds resistance to the movement of your slides which also adds a load to your slide motors. This could contribute to your fuse situation.

[@drinkinslim]

True that. Or open a couple of windows.

I should not even tell this story but....in 2016 we bought a new travel trailer that was 9'6" or 2.89m tall (Canada). Was bringing it home the first day and never even thought about it until I got home, but I had gone under a railroad track that is labeled 2.90 meters. I did not hit, but my measured height of the trailer was less than 1/2" less than the labeled height of the railway. I assume they must put a little fudge factor in there. Needless to say my heart was beating pretty hard when I realized what I had done. I can only imagine the feeling had I scrapped our brand new trailer on day 1..... 🤒, but I guess lady luck was on my side that day. as always, safe travels

[@bmwsag6498]

Hey guys. Love the video. I see you avoided driving through Atlanta this time. I hate taking our RV through there. So while we were watching your video and you showed the snow outside a hail storm hit us. We are still in Central Florida, the sound of the hail on the RV was so loud. Our first storm experience since we started our journey. It was freaky. I hope you arrive at the Brinkley Factory safe. Pls take care. Love always Freddy and Bryan

As A retired Professional long haul truck driver. I have driven amost 3,000,000 miles around the U.S. and Canada. I would advise getting a Trucker Atlas as the roads are marked for trucks.

When and if you do egg roll in a bowl just a couple tips to make it better. First use ground chicken instead of chicken pieces or ground pork. Then you can add a whole bag of coleslaw mix which you don’t have to chop up any of the vegetables. Then you sauté your hamburger/pork/chicken or ground turkey with the sesame oil and then you add in some of your minced garlic onion and minced ginger ,Sriracha, a little chilli flakes and of course, soy sauce. I make it at least every other week accompanied by potstickers from Costco. Super yummy and my whole family love it

Several years ago, I was in CT, at a family funeral, with our C-class. I needed to get on the parkway. There were signs saying, "No trucks." I figured I wasn't a truck, so no problem. Within minutes I came upon a very low bridge. I stopped right in the middle of the road, super scared. I didn't know how tall our rig was. Big mistake! I was alone, so no one to help me. I got out and looked. Then drove a bit, got out and looked, drove a bit and got out to look...several times. I made it under the bridge, but hustled off that parkway at the next exit, praying there were no more low bridges before the exit. Lesson learned! Put the rig measurements on the dash and if it says, no trucks, stay away!!

I am new to your channel. I live out near Seattle, but I grew up in the vicinity of Ardmore. Here's some advice. This is a highway. Lots of trucks frequent that route.

That's awesome! All the people we have run into at brinkley so far have been extremely nice.

[@theaustinstravel]

We have definitely liked the Open Roads program and found it helped us get a cheaper cost at most fill-ups

[@drinkinslim]

I like it when Victoria looks at the camera. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does, I feel like she's talking to *me*😅

I believe GM’s super cruise feature work when trailering.

[@wildrvlife]

I don't think they have it in a 1 ton yet, but I am keeping an eye on it for sure.

[@mkz6475]

The GMC Denali Ultimate also has vibrating seats for those long trips. I have the AT4 and that’s the only thing I wish it had. The cruise while towing is amazing! And I was going to ask if you were using a fuel discount. Thank for the info👏

[@travisfunk3822]

GM Supercruise is phenomenal. Sadly only offered on 1500 series, but I love towing with it!

[@paulwinter9174]

Looks like a pretty interesting lifestyle? If I could get my wife excited about traveling, I'd be a happy camper..." No pun intended" lol I envy you !

[@lshawndavis]

And as always, I loved your video :-) I’m sad we didn’t run into you in Florida, but the invitation for you to come for a visit in Calgary, Alberta, Canada stands! We should be back by early April. As for de-humidifier, we have a low-tech DampRid tabletop set up that we use while here in florida and it works great! We just have it on the kitchen counter and empty it out onto the grass when it fills up. For a bigger rig, you could just get a couple and it would be an effective and much cheaper option.

[@nunyobizkneez]

open roads is the best option out there. ive been using it for 3-ish years and it beats out gasbuddy everytime. the discounts will always beat the "non-discount" fuel stations (at least out west).

[@escapingthenest2020]

We take our dog EVERYWHERE too. I learned from friends at the local dog part that here in Ohio the dog needs to secured. There is a 450 ticket if the dog is in the back, $100 if the dog is in the front.

[@wildrvlife]

Wow, I had no idea. Good info.

[@escapingthenest2020]

Mistype: $50 for the backseat, $100 for front seat. It does make sense, auto accidents can happen do to dogs getting in the way.

[@codemodeus]

When I heard bad roads I figured you were on I65. We just did that Indiana to gulf shores with our travel trailer via I65 and that road is an absolute disaster…especially through Tennessee.

[@wildrvlife]

It is so terrible and that's before you even bring up the construction!.

[@codemodeus]

@@wildrvlifedon’t even get me started on the construction, I think that’s been ongoing since the 90s lol. Enjoy Indiana, southern Indiana has some nice campgrounds but most don’t open until May since we can go from 70 degrees to 20 in the span of a weekend 😂

Looking forward to you all coming to Alaska. You wouldn’t take the ferry at all. Most of the fun is driving through Canada. Just my opinion. One thing I know that you on times fly by the seat of your pants when it comes to reservations. Well I would say if/when you come here in AK you might want to look at reservations ahead of time. One good thing about AK is boondocking!!!!! Looking forward to coming up here. Blessings and praying for safe travels for your 2024 adventures!!

[@richardnowacki2869]

I live in Indiana and I am also in Orlando . I am leaving Wednesday morning. Safe travels

[@amyabigt]

Love Leland’s new sweatshirt

[@dawnsarrazin4635]

Love watching your videos! When traveling through Indiana the best places to stay are the state parks! Most are big rig friendly. We have been traveling with a 40 ft XLR Thunderbolt and always find spots at the state parks.

[@wildrvlife]

good to know! We really enjoyed Charlestown State Park, it seemed to be kept up really well and we really appreciated that they kept the trees trimmed and big rig friendly!

[@vincew9482]

So Craig, I have a 2023 F350 that has aggressive lane centering and adaptive cruise control. The adaptive cruise control is amazing with towing. Unfortunately, the lane centering feature is disabled when town. I due use both features when not towing and it’s really nice. I imagine it will be a long time before, they have something self driving while towing.

[@wildrvlife]

I do think the same would happen with most other self driving vehicles. It would disable that feature when towing.

[@johnabbott2151]

From Louisville and we've stayed at Charlestown State Park before. Pretty nice park. Definitely very hilly, though, especially the trek to and from Rose Island. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@wildrvlife]

yes, that hill back up from Rose Island was quite the hike! We really liked how they had the campground set up though, it was great!

[@rdrindy]

Craig.. can really tell the weight loss. We are from Indiana 1 hour south from Indy. Spent the winter in the southwest. Bad winter there this year…cold…. Thanks for your videos
