we are Ben and Charity with grateful glamper and today we are gonna answer
the 10 questions in the RV question challenge so you may have heard about
the 10 question RV challenge so today we are gonna give you our answers so we
were challenged by the hungry cuban and roaming with rover so let's start with
question 1 what would you change about your current RV one thing that I would
definitely change is instead of having two couches which is where our kids
sleep and it does work great I would probably rather have bunks
thing I would want to change is maybe put a toy hauler in the back so we can
roll it down back into a place and have a deck to enjoy our cup of coffee with
the great view as well as have an office space dedicated for work
dedicated office space would definitely be something that would be nice for now we
just use the dinette so it works so question number two what is something
you did not expect with your first RV I think something that we definitely did
not expect when we about our first RV is just really how difficult it would be to
drive
we purchased the gas engine motorhome
and even though we added some extra suspension components it was still
really fatiguing to drive yeah so we had a older 2000 gas on a chassis that
wasn't very well built so it was really like babysitting the steering wheel so
it was very very fatiguing to drive and we went all the way to the East Coast
and back to Colorado in this thing so when it came down to getting our new
diesel pusher it really felt like a much better ride compared to the old gas
engine RV that we had for sure so question three what was your deciding
factor when you bought your first RV so this is something that's kind of
interesting because we didn't expect to be able to purchase our first RV when we
did but when we started doing some price shopping at used RVs we found out that
they were way more affordable than what we thought that they were going to be
we were able to do it much sooner just because it was much
more affordable than we thought yeah we were gonna wait for about a year to save
up and and once we were looking we've actually found some in the price range
that we had budgeted for and so we decided to really just go ahead and get
it and get started and just work out any kinks and find out really what we wanted
in an RV number four what is your favorite meal to cook at camp I would
definitely have to say that when we were down in the Gulf Coast area and we got
that gulf shrimp and we put that on the Black Sun with some veggies that was
like the best yeah and I would have to say burgers really you can't go wrong
with that I just love having a nice burger at the end of the day and it's really easy
number five what is your
must-see RV destination so I think one of our must see this year is that will
be traveling to Banff in Canada
but one of the places that was probably one of our most favorites was when we were in
Florida and we stayed right on the beach at the Flagler by-the-sea campground and
I would go back there in a heartbeat I am actually looking forward to arches in
Zion National Park we will be traveling there this summer and I have been
reading up on it and I am so excited to go there it'll be a good trip number six
what is your favorite thing about RVing and I think for me one of my
favorite things is just the constant change of scenery is that you're always
going to any place and you're seeing new things one of the things that I think is
really cool about RVing versus even flying to a destination is you get the
chance to see that gradual change in landscape when we went from Colorado to
New Mexico you just see that gradual change where you leave the mountains and
it gets to be more of a desert arid climate versus when you know you get on
a plane and you leave one place and you land another place and it just looks
totally different and you don't see that kind of gradual change happen as you go
from one destination to the next and I would say really the family time
and the feeling of sense of adventure because you're always looking forward to going
to the next spot and mapping out what you're going to do and and the kids are
talking about it and it's just a lot of fun to know just looking forward to the
next destination that you're gonna go to so number seven what is your least
favorite thing about RVing and I think I would have to say is trying to
stop for fuel and trying to figure out where is going to be an RV friendly fuel
station truck stops are always a good idea but sometimes you're in an area
where maybe you're not like on the interstate where there's a truck stop so
just trying to figure out where you're gonna fuel up and then of course you
know the bill every time that you feel up to that's not my favorite part and I
would say some trucks passing you at a high rate of
speed because it creates a vacuum so it pulls you over and then pushes you over
to the other side of the road so it's really not as bad in our current diesel
pusher RV but in our gas I could really feel it and it caught me off guard a
couple times so number eight what is your must-have for your next RV and
we're gonna be keeping this one for quite a while but if we ever replace
this one I would say my must-have is two bathrooms because somebody tends to
monopolize the bathroom time talking to me somebody in our family tends to take
a long time in the bathroom so it's a good thing that we have bath houses at
the campgrounds that we can walk down to you when somebody decides to monopolize
the bathroom time it's not me it's not me and neither is it Dakota and neither is it
mom I would have to say a helicopter landing pad and maybe a hot tub you know
depending on the budget but that would really come in handy for your helicopter
well maybe future helicopter number nine what is your a favorite adult beverage
while camping this was an easy one for us to answer so I can chill out with just a
good cold glass of Moscato wine and I'm a big fan of micro beer me know my
micro beer maker the little beers I'm a fan of micro brewery
beer so any place that we go to that has a micro brewery I am definitely gonna go
check it out and maybe bring home a growler of their beer so last question
question number 10 what is your favorite indoor accessory and this was really
interesting because this rig is the first time that we had
washer/dryer unit on board with us and when we first set out on our trip I did
not think that we would really use it but boy was I wrong and now that we've
had that and we used it almost every day and we really didn't use the campground
laundromats but maybe just a few times I would say that that is absolutely now a
must-have for our family to be able to have our own washer and dryer right on
board our rig I'm going to go with something that we use every morning and
that's a coffee maker coffee is a must so thanks so much for watching our 10
