Well it's happened again and we wanted to get this information out to as many people as possible to
try to help this family find their missing loved ones an rv couple has gone missing along with
their rv and their tow vehicle so stay tuned because we've got some important information
in this video for you now according to the friends and family of ronnie and beverly barker they were
traveling from oregon to tucson arizona with their class c and their tow vehicle and we'll have some
more details about those vehicles specifically in just a few minutes but their plan was to meet some
friends in tucson on tuesday march the 29th so they left oregon and started traveling down to
the tucson area and their plan was to stay in the fallon nevada area however their cell signals from
their phones and computer tablet last pinged an area near dire nevada which is nearly 170 miles
farther south than where they were planning on staying and then their next plant stop was
going to be overnighting near the nellis air force base outside of las vegas and then continuing on
to meet their friends in tucson now obviously they never arrived to tucson and they are still missing
so we're going to share some information here in just a few minutes on how you can potentially help
but if you are in that nevada california arizona area especially you're going to want to stay tuned
and be on the lookout now this situation with another rv couple gone missing really compels
us to not only get out their information but also talk about ways to prevent these types
of situations in the first place something we've talked about in previous videos is always having a
set travel plan that you can share with friends or family you guys the rv community are some
of the nicest and most friendly people out there unfortunately there have been some bad actors that
have taken advantage of us so if you're traveling solo or just even you and your family in an rv
not in a caravan situation or even if it's just you and your family road tripping it is imperative
that you have a route and stopping plan that you can give to a trusted family member or friend this
person is your point of contact and this point of contact person will know exactly the route where
you're planning to go and we're going to be camped or staying for the night now i like to use rv
parky or rv trip wizard for this purpose because it's very easy to just share out a link to our
family members showing our exact route and where we have our campgrounds reserved or where we plan
to park if it's just an overnight stop if your plans deviate for any reason let your point of
contact know you've changed your route it sounds like that maybe ronnie and bev had a plan in place
but the video recordings that have been captured at the fuel station where they stopped and traffic
camera images might seem to indicate that maybe they chose to go a different way or extended and
wanted to drive further that particular day so now there's some unknowns secondly you need to
have a way to check in when you have arrived at your intended destination for the night
whether you choose to send a text to your point of contact or use an app for this someone needs to
know you've arrived and that you're okay and that you're safe now checking in when you've arrived
means that you're there and able to do so but what if you did not arrive or are incapacitated
in any way this is where we like having a gps tracker by a company called wear safe now we've
had several people comment in videos that we've done in the past about the wear safe trackers that
their phone basically does the same thing but many phones once that they're turned off can only tell
you the last known location and not a current location the wear safe tracker shows a history
of where you've traveled as well so you can see the exact previous travel route that was taken
which can be important information to have if you're looking for a vehicle since wearsafe was a
company that actually worked in helping businesses manage their fleet and delivery vehicles
they do have some of the best technology when it comes to tracking vehicle movement and you
can share the wear safe app with your point of contact where they can actually open the app and
see all of the information including your current location and your travel history within the last
two years there have been two incidents that we are aware of of missing rvers or van lifers
and after last summer we decided to go ahead and partner with wear safe and install a tracker on
our motorhome is just another layer of safety you can visit gratefulglamper.com forward slash wear
safe to check out the different types of trackers that they have in because we've partnered with
we're safe we have a discount code of glamper10 to save 10 and i'll put all of this information in
the description box below this video please always remember that if a situation feels off there's
probably something wrong listen to your instincts and use personal safety strategies there are a lot
of methods and strategies for personal safety and we could do a whole video on that in and of itself
but because we want to get back to the information about this missing couple i will let you know that
we did an interview with a park ranger a few years ago and had a great discussion about strategies
for personal safety specifically for rvers and nomads so i will link that interview at the end
of this video okay back to the information now as of the recording of this video it's now april 4th
and the bakers have not been seen or heard from in several days a traffic camera in hawthorne nevada
did take a photo of the rv and the car in tow at 5 35 pm as it was headed south on highway 95
sunday march 27th there have been no cell phone pings or activity on the couple's debit cards this
whole entire week they just seem to have vanished now their rv is a 2015 forest river sun seeker
class a motorhome with indiana license plate c128 and their tow vehicle is a 2020 white kia
soul lx indiana license plate fl 211a now please remember license plates are easily changed out
so if you see any vehicles matching this description they should be reported to authorities
right away they also could be driven independently of one another if you have any information
or see these vehicles please contact sheriff's department at 775-482-8101
and you can also send an email to findRonandbev@gmail.com and I'll have all of that
spelled out in the description box below you can click the down arrow if you're on your phone to
see that information in the description box like that I'm talking about and if you're on a tv you
might just want to pop over to a mobile device to be able to see all of this information our prayers
and thoughts are with the family of Ronnie and Bev and we are praying for the best outcome possible
to this situation please be safe out there so I'm going to put the video of the interview
we did with trooper Brandon right up here so that you can take a look at that some great strategies
for personal RV safety it is going to be a great summer of RV travel and we want everybody to stay
safe if we don't see you out on the road or around the campground we'll see you in the next video
