What is RV Living REALLY like in the FLORIDA KEYS? WATCH THIS! 🌴

[@RVRayRay]

Great video! I just booked a month long RV trip to the Keys in early June…will be driving from the DFW area. Will be my longest RV trip. Planning to overnight park at Cracker Barrels, Bass Pro Shops, etc. Safe travels!!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

We stayed at a Cracker Barrel and a Florida rest area. They are huge south of Daytona. Made for a manageable drive to the keys the next day. Enjoy your trip!

[@Ahmad-yw5hl]

Honestly, I really enjoyed the video. Thank you so much guys and I wish you nothing but the best.

[@1StrangeAdventure]

Glad you enjoyed it! We really appreciate that!

bbbrrrroooooo. that look sent you to the couch,,,lol. that is so cool about the manatees....totally called you out on wrong setting. lol. I remember seeing them and a bunch of dolphins. last time I was in Florida. btw. that drone footage was sick. holy moly. that is incredible. Definitely adding the keys to our list next time. wait. was he getting drinks of water..lol. that's so awesome. thank you guys for taking us along. much love

[@1StrangeAdventure]

HAHA! We show real life and getting called out is part of it. ha! It's amazing down in the Keys and a place you NEED to visit! The Manatees love fresh water. If someone is washing a boat, they will be there to drink the water! It's pretty awesome to watch. We are glad you are enjoying our adventures! Until we meet again... much love! Safe travels!

Hi there I just subscribed. Beautiful footage! Thanks for sharing!😘 I lived in Miami 5 years so of course took advantage of the keys many x over. Where I lived in Miami my backyard there was an inlet from Biscayne Bay. So manatees would hang out all the time especially in the 🌄 it was lovely.

What a beautiful video of the Florida Keys! You got some fantastic shots of the manatees! We didn’t see any at Fiesta Key. 😢 I think we need to get some kayaks, too. Then we can go to the animals instead of waiting for them to come to us. You got some awesome up-close views.

[@scottwieczorek8193]

Beautiful, the wife had a good question. Since you have pets are there local RV repair shops near these rv sites? In case your AC goes out. Do you use any kind of tempature warning device when you are away from your RV? If so what do you recommend?

[@1StrangeAdventure]

There isn't always a repair shop around, so it's important to have KZbin University ready, LOL. For the fur babies, we make sure they are taken care by doing this. - Alfred is a free webcam app that you can download on apple devices. It turns our iPad into a web cam and we can place it anywhere. While we are out, we can check on them with our iPhones. It's pretty simple to setup, just have to have internet. We also have a small battery operated thermostat that we place in sight of the camera so we can see the temp. - Waggle is a device you can add to your RV. It has its own service through Verizon. I believe it's $15/month. It connects to an app on your phone where you can monitor the temp and humidity. - Our RV has the Lippert OneControl installed. We can see the temp in all three areas and remote start our generator if we see the temp going up. It's a 12v system so we can still see if the power goes out. Once our generator is started, we can turn the ACs. I pray we never have all 3 ACs go out at the same time. 2 will keep the inside comfortable. - There is another device called MarCELL. It will monitor and alert you if you have a power outage. Hope this helps!

Great video, we have the Keys on our list one day!! I guess living near the ocean for 17 years and Mallory was born living on the beach, we havent made it a top event but it is on the list!! This looked like fun!!

[@1StrangeAdventure]

It's worth a trip down there. At least once! Start planning about a year in advance bc it books up fast down there!

[@fordsakata8543]

I knew you often have long drive days since you only travel on weekends but wow. That first day was something. And what was that manatee doing at the end, drinking bilge water?

[@1StrangeAdventure]

We had a really long travel day going to the keys. We have to drive a bit further so we can explore more. It's tough driving only on weekends but it's worth it! The manatees like any type of fresh water, including what comes out of the boats. Which is why it can be dangerous for them to get used to that.

[@tomsanders9491]

Great place to live in a trailer--UNTIL hurricane season, then it's a long 7 mile bridge to get to dry land

Agreed! I wouldn't be down there all year round. Great for the winter months though!

that is very cool we scuba dive and see them from time to time , How long did it take you to get good on your paddle boads they look like a lot of fun

[@1StrangeAdventure]

It took us an hour or so to feel comfortable. It's all about having the right board. The first time I tried, I didn't like it and couldn't stand up. After research, realized the board width, length and thickness matter. I now have a great board that is pretty steady out on the water. Thinking about buying one?

[@1StrangeAdventure]

It is $20/night for people who have the membership. I'm not sure what the retail price is though. Their website has a statement that says the RV must be road worthy at all times with a valid/current registration and carry insurance. Nothing states a rule against age but you could call to confirm.

Where did you stop on95 for the night? While I see a lot of truckers sleeping at the rest areas not sure I have seen RV’s with slides out for the night? Is this even allowed?

[@1StrangeAdventure]

The rest areas in Florida allow overnight but it can very spot to spot. We stopped at a rather large area with a second parking lot. It has cameras and security overnight. We like to park on the end where we don’t encroach on another spot. If we can’t find an end spot, we will leave one of the slides closed for the night. We have even found some rest areas with RV spots and 30 amp plugs so it is becoming more common. Great question. Thanks!
