so lots going on in this episode but we wanted to bring you up to speed
just a little bit on the issue with our bedroom slide we did get it fixed we got
it corrected we didn't film the actual fix part because it was one of those scenarios
we just needed to get it done and back on the road what ended up being was actually
a circuit board we ordered that in from Amazon had it sent to the campground got
it installed and our slide is back in working order which you'll see in today's episode but
lots going on we know that you're going to enjoy this video the inverter turned on so
oh my gosh oh yeah there it is I uh made a mistake so I know we're trying to get out
of here but you gotta come look at this what is it oh just come like this is really interesting
I remember the last time you said that um
[Music playing]
just what I think it's done it's not done and then I'm like oh still going there it
goes still going yeah let's turn then I'm like are we done she's level do you think Alaska is
all right this should work now I love it it's automatic so we're getting ready to head out to
go check out Shenandoah National Park now this is just one of those days where the day hasn't
gone like we had wanted it to so we're getting a late start but we still should be able to see
some of the national parks so one tip that we just did because it was raining earlier bring
in your awnings if you're gonna leave just bring them in don't risk anything happening especially
if it's not something where you absolutely need it for the shade or something like that
do yourself a favor so we're going to finish bringing those in and then hop in and head out
I could just see this being a disaster right now it feels so cute I'm like please don't do that
[Music playing]
we've made some pretty cool upgrades to our RV this year from our Max Air fans to our new toilet
that feels more like a home toilet and not an RV toilet to a different tow bar to bring our Jeep
along we've been super thankful for the resource that we have found for all of these accessories
with e-trailer one of the reasons we love working with e-trailer is you can actually call and get
a real person on the phone when maybe you just aren't sure what part you need or what might work
best for your specific application I mean let's face it with hundreds of RV makes and models most
replacement parts or upgrades are not a one size fits-all option and we like being able to jump on
the phone with e-trailer support before we order something to make sure we're ordering the correct
part if you've been considering some upgrades for your RV need replacement parts hitches or
bike racks check out e-trailer at the link in the description below Channel sponsors help us
keep bringing great content to you week in and week out for free so we are super thankful to
each trailer for their support of our channel in sponsoring this video and there's support in
helping us with upgrade RV projects so of course it would be raining and extremely foggy and we've
been driving on this road for maybe like 10 miles and there's all sorts of signs that have pointed
to like dedic overlooks and everything and I'm sure that it's just the best views ever but it is
so stinking foggy and rainy you can't see a thing today like we're gonna have to have a do-over at
some point here because stuff not the first day to take in any views but we're here or at least
seeing what we can see Trinity's in the back doing her Junior Ranger Boat maybe the sun will come
out and burn it off hey you never know I mean that could happen when I looked at the forecast
earlier in the day it did show thunderstorms at least where we were to about three about three
so it could happen you never know but it's not like a promise this Mother's Day to be tired
it is a pretty view it is pretty and it hey it looks like maybe the weather is going to clear
a little bit and now that the sun's out the clouds should or the fog should lift lift up pretty far
so one of the fascinating things that we learned at The Visitor Center here at Shenandoah National
Park is about something called the CCC now probably going to get this wrong but it had
to do with like a civil core of conservation workers that um the president back in the 30s
so many people did not have jobs but they were 100 willing to work in so the president at the
time gathered up this group of men offered to pay them thirty dollars a week and they did a
ton of projects here in Shenandoah National Park to make improvements to build things to
help with infrastructure to just make this a place where people could come and enjoy
[Music playing]
I remember the last time you said that yeah no seriously it's very
interesting though like okay how in the heck did this happen there's one
on the other side of the RV too but this is like in less than yeah because we just got back from
the national park last night like this is in eight hours yeah there's one by the slide to the
ground out there I mean they're catching little bugs all over the face as they should because
there's these little gnats that freaking Ram right into your eyeball so we're headed out
of Virginia today and where we've been staying near Shenandoah National Park kind of sads today
because we said goodbye to some of our insiders that have been with us now for nearly a month
on the road so been joining us for our grateful glamper summer Caravan and today
is the day where we both go different directions so a little bit Bittersweet
isn't so fun pulling into every Campground and knowing you have friends yep every Campground
s and also just knowing like if something goes wrong because things always go wrong
it's just always nice to know like there's a second set of hands or you know I mean it's just
so great doing these types of trips in community so we'll have a link in the description below if
you want to join our insiders this is one of the benefits that I think is probably one of the best
benefits to being a grateful glamper Insider is being able to come on some of these trips with us
[Music playing]
Alaska this is where we're parking oh wow this is great yeah isn't that crazy right here I love it
[Musci playing]
so we are at Round Peak Vineyards in North Carolina this is a Harvest House location
and so we pulled in just before they closed so we could go buy our bottle of wine from them which
is what you should do if you stay at a harvest host location is give that business some sort
of business but this is the most beautiful place I am so excited that we're going to be able to just
overnight here tonight beautiful view super quiet out here and look at this office area
that we have for your evening it's awesome I mean this is amazing got my computer even plugged into
an outlet right here and trying to wrap up this week's video I got my I got my switch
right here it's the best office anyway Harvest host great option for overnighting we do have
a 15 off discount that we'll have a link in the description below because we absolutely love using
Harvest hosts and this is amazing definitely a better option than Walmart in our opinion so it's
been kind of a little bit of a frustrating day just with lots of different things that kind of
necessarily have gone wrong but just like didn't go smooth so our starlink being one of those
evidently reset itself that's crazy and anyway so we were like we renamed the network to what stinky
occurred over the last three hours it's just been just move forward report let's not try to figure
out how why whatever we need to move forward and I think sometimes you just anyway you hit
those places in life where it's like you could sit there and you could over analyze you could try to
analyze how why whatever but move forward that's that's my profound statement yeah move forward
foreign for lunch and to upload video and I made a mistake
of using the air fryer in the microwave at the same time now I wasn't with the
impression since they're on separate circuits and we have a new 3000 watt inverter that
we had everything we needed for that to happen but no that's why not so much so anyway my mistake
I did it good didn't I yeah you did it literally blew the whole huge
told you and this isn't any ordinary fuse is it no but you know what luckily I do have a stair
you want to show us the spare Dakota
that wait is it real gold is it fuse it actually is gold plated I just looked on
Amazon to see so we can order another one to have on hand it says they're gold plated
yeah I'm keeping it all right I learned a lesson yeah rookie mistake Okay so
should work now because I changed out the fuse here's the old one
oh my gosh oh yeah there it is it did blow apart it did spark when I put it back on so
got it all tightened up and so let's test it out it should work now all right I gotta
keep some gold I'm so happy right you know we're on a streak yeah of like being able to
troubleshoot things ourselves now we did have to call Josh on this with roadworthy RV Tech
so but he answered like he was available to take our call so totally all right let's
moment of truth let's go figure it out yeah the inverter turned on so I'm pretty hopeful that's
working yeah okay let's turn it all on go turn it all on and see all right okay Moment of Truth
turning the battery and auxiliary on and it works
coming up for the Grateful glampers turn it into handy people thanks Josh
