This week we go RV shopping to see if we can downsize to a smaller van, drive
around a historic traffic circle and Kait leads us down the wrong path. So
here's the thing I think people don't realize your coffee snob but you're
willing to drink hot brown water as well oh yeah
especially if I can dip my cookie into it. How many of you had? you haven't even
made it out to check out the van yet. But they're warming gooey. Which one
do you want to check out first I say we check out the new Aktiv we can
check out the Corrado sound good
that's new yep so this is the 1.0 it's a just a little over a foot shorter than
the 2.0 we have now but pretty much everything is the same I feel like
they've just made some improvements and some changes in here see the cabinet all
the same but they put an extra bracket here which we don't have feels like home
I feel like home with a few minor improvements yeah
but like they got rid of the cubby holes oh yeah the little ledge did you notice
they changed the stitching oh I've seen this on the other Aktivs yeah that's
nice do you think they'll notice if we swap it out I'm not used to seeing the
microwave there no no neither of mine I would still get rid of the microwave if
we go smaller yeah I like what you did with the tension run with the paper
towels and everything but honestly I don't feel like we need more room than
this no I mean we would leave some storage on the bottom I don't think we
really need that much more room we're not using it all right now why don't we
move into this one and leave the 2.0 here do you think they'll notice that
they might notice swapping out the cushions one thing pumping out a whole
van it's something completely different but I really want to check out the pop
top that Hymer's introducing. I can't wait for the super B show yes that'll be
fun I like it yes that minor changes it
looks like the faucets different too yep so just little things here and there
like I said it feels like home it does well let's go check out the Corrado okay
after you you can go that way yeah I brought the back why not
watch your step please thank you I like the size of the bathroom I mean we've
been plenty of places or wicked cam in the bathroom and leave the door ooh I
love how open this is although the the trouble I would have is
I would miss our little dinette area where would you put the Berkey oh good
question more importantly where would I keep all
my coffee stuff you can permanently affixed it on that counter right there
glue everything down on that counter I think that's the one thing I like about
the active layout is you have a defined bedroom kitchen with the bathroom and
then the upfront living area well let's get back on the road we got to get down
to Houston yeah it's getting late no more cookies
we're headed to the waco traffic circle Kait told me that if you can survive the
traffic circle you can survive anything well coming from LA I accept the
challenge well what I said was I had read that people said if you can survive
this traffic circle you can drive anywhere hey like I said challenge
accepted
are you just gonna do a circle yeah well then I'll randomly pick a side to go pop
out on oh look at that place Magnolia table it looks happening
Oh going around in circles all right eeny meeny miny moe
fun fact we used to raise chickens all right let's go get checked in there good
looking heavy
Wow we drove up and I was like this doesn't
look like Thousand Trails we walk in the office I'm like this is definitely not a
thousand rolls did you punch in the right park yes I punched in the right
park I'm sorry so how far is it how far off course are
we I'm not sure I have to check okay to the man were like 10 miles off course
Wow I will say it's the first time that's
happened time to go find our site the Ranger said that there should be some
available in here so we'll drive around and see what we find for those of you
who have never stayed at a thousand trails the way it works is you have to
go in and find your site and then after you find your site drive back out to the
ranger station and report your site and get your little placard at most there
are some where they'll assign us by Joe is going to report our campsite what is
it that you're holding can you guess what this is is it for our trash all of
our trash must go into blue labeled things with your name on it
I'm just messing with you really this is if we want to go out for the day we just
put it over our power pedestal okay you got me I thought you were serious
suckers where is nice house the jacuzzi large and nice doesn't seem to be overly
hot but it should be good I'm calling it a night
we made it to the right campground you got to celebrate the little wins
