We Screwed Up! RV Setup Fail while visiting the Oregon Coast!

[@bevgunson1486]

Hi kids…lol. We relate to your’fun’ setting up in dark! We’ve been enjoying your videos for years now. We live in C. Oregon after raising a family in Eugene. We’ve camped all over Oregon for 60 years and still love it! We started in a small tent, had a tent trailer for a couple years (while twins were tiny), then gradually upgraded to a small class C. as retirees. Now downsized to a sm. trailer w/ Murphy bed as we turned 80! We love camping so will do it as long as we’re able. :) Keep having fun together and entertaining us🤣

[@adventuresofjandk]

Thank you so much for watching and for the great comments. We love central Oregon. Hoping to move there ourselves soon. We are outside of Portland and ready for a change of scenery.

[@pingpong8193]

The Oregon coast is absolutely beautiful! Great vid. I found you guys from a couple of Astoria videos, which my wife and I will finally be visiting for the Goonies 40th reunion in early June. Can't wait! traveling from Florida... Cheers!

[@adventuresofjandk]

That is awesome. We hope to make it to that anniversary as well. Huge Goonie fans. Goonies never say die.

What a beautiful State Park

[@adventuresofjandk]

👍

[@adventuresofjandk]

We don’t make too many mistakes when it comes to setting up the trailer but we’re definitely not perfect. Hopefully you never make the same mistake. 😂

[@Mitzimayham]

😂😂😂 the commentary …. My husband said he wants to start camping again. Maybe we will run in to you guys.

[@adventuresofjandk]

@Mitzimayham it was freezing but we still had a good time. Probably won’t do much again until the spring but it was nice to get out again. We don’t camp ourselves much these days.

[@marigoldenergy8512]

I’m most of my camping trips have had 0 internet. I think it is actually a bonus.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Couldn’t agree more. We don’t need unless it’s for work.

[@youlikemyshorts8039]

Oh we’ve made that mistake a few times. The Oregon Coast is spectacular

[@adventuresofjandk]

@@youlikemyshorts8039 yes it definitely is

[@justbreathe917]

That was a fun and entertaining video.

[@adventuresofjandk]

@@justbreathe917 thank you.

[@toddmeans8135]

Nice video. We’ll be camping at Beverly Beach in a couple months.

[@adventuresofjandk]

@@toddmeans8135 great State Park.

[@timspeedinc]

Thanks for the tip, for Beverly beach. Having took your advice previously and went to Silver Falls SP, I can’t wait to take the little brother to your trailer (1685) to Beverly Beach.

[@adventuresofjandk]

@@timspeedinc you will love it. Great State Park and close to so much that the Coast has to offer.

[@thomaslucas6925]

I missed where you're at???

[@adventuresofjandk]

We were at Beverly Beach State Park on the Oregon Coast. Great place to stay if you’re looking to explore the central part of the coast. Touristy area but a lot to do.

[@kimberlyrenfrow461]

That trailer setup fail was our trailer’s way of telling us we need to take him out more often! 😂😂😂

[@adventuresofjandk]

It’s a she not a he. Get your trailer gender correct. 😂😂😂

[@ArcanePhenomenon]

Totally laughing ------ I dont have slides, I dont have to be perfectly level, dont have to unhitch.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Well that sounds like the way to go.

[@thomaslucas6925]

Never mind I'm a nerd😅

[@adventuresofjandk]

😂

[@jimmymac1344]

Been There done that. For us it was the power pole in the site blocking the slide. Didn't check the distance before leveling. We gave it a few Damits, Wifey and I pointed at each other and said Ok, whose job is it to check this,. had to reconnect, move over and re-level.. Luckily it wasn't at night. It hasn't happened since. One of the worst that I have seen is some poor guy forgetting to chock the trailer wheels before disconnecting. Trailer started to roll backwards. Watched the owner in a desperate attempt to stop it by grabbing the tongue of the trailer. I guess he could have pulled the breakaway cable to set the brakes. He was too busy panicking to think of that. luckily there was a concrete parking block at the back of the site that stopped it. I think that guy needed clean shorts and a few shots of whiskey after that. Even though I saw it from a distant camp site, it scared me enough that it gave me night mares. I now have a Tag on my hitch lock that says Chocks first. Before I remove that lock the chocks go down. I saw a picture online of an Airstream hanging over a ledge. A tree saved it going all the way over.

[@adventuresofjandk]

@@jimmymac1344 oh man that is scary and the tag is a fantastic idea. One of the things that scares me most is forgotten to chock the wheels. Hopefully we don’t make the slide mistake ever again. We were just freezing and not thinking straight.

[@justinwonder22]

8:30 Oj Simpson been there.

[@adventuresofjandk]

@@justinwonder22 😂😂😂. Hade to look up 8:30. That’s hilarious Justin. Well done man.

[@louissantoscoy6461]

Yeah you guys look like rookies 😅

[@adventuresofjandk]

Ya no doubt. Guess it was bound to happen

[@normalperson9646]

@@adventuresofjandk Probably what the nearby campers are thinking. We try not to arrive in the dark, but it happens. Glad to see you guys made it safe and enjoyed the area.

[@adventuresofjandk]

@ ya definitely not by choice. We have jobs so getting there during the day was not an option. Luckily it was still really early in the night.

[@normalperson9646]

@@adventuresofjandk We our truck rear tire split but luckily, there was Les Schwab near the freeway. We arrived at the campsite, pitch dark, and it was set up differently than the norm. Well, it's just part of the adventure stories now.

[@adventuresofjandk]

@normalperson9646 so true

[@BobSymonds-u5v]

how many people did ya'll wake up.?

[@adventuresofjandk]

@@BobSymonds-u5v none. It was like 6:00 pm.

[@BobSymonds-u5v]

@@adventuresofjandk Thank you, I understand 6 pm . Good video. Keep doing them.
