(upbeat music)
- We have a lot going on.
- Yes, we do.
- I might be a little nervous, again.
- Not as much as I am, again.
- So the big thing going on is tomorrow
Phil has his big shoulder surgery
and I can't be there because of COVID.
I can only drop him off.
I cannot go in the building.
- Which sucks, doubly.
- Yeah. That...it happened with his elbow too.
So, it's gonna be a good five hours, or more,
that he's gonna be there.
So I actually am coming back here
and I will be moving our rig to another site by myself.
- Yeah. We're staying here at the same campground.
We just we're moving to a different site
because we're gonna be here a little bit longer.
So we wanted a little bit more creature comforts.
- Yeah.
- It wasn't in the plans
but we went and took a look at the site.
It has a Casita and being that I'm gonna be immobile
for a while with my arm and
not have to fight our RV shower, and Stacy, fight and splash.
- Try to help. - Yeah.
We're gonna move to a Casita that has
a huge walk-in bathroom.
So that's the reason why we're moving.
- Yeah. And I'll give you guys a tour
of that once we get over there and set up
but right now Phil's giving me a final walkthrough
so I can make sure I remember everything I need to do
by myself tomorrow.
- Yeah. She can do everything.
She's done it before. But she is going to have somebody here
in the park help her, you know, guide her into the Casita site
so that she doesn't hit the side of the Casita with Ruby.
- Yeah. With Ruby hanging over
and to make sure I get far enough to the left.
So I'm not backing up 15 times to open the slides.
- Yeah. So we're just gonna do a quick walk around
and she's gonna know what she needs to do to unhook
and then hook back up when she gets over there.
The tire covers definitely need to come off tonight
so I'll take those off for you tonight.
- [Stacy] Okay.
- And then what you'll have tomorrow is the sewer,
the freshwater and the power cord and the surge protector.
I'll disconnect cable tonight, right before we go to bed.
- [Stacy] Okay.
- But you'll have to do all that.
And you know how that goes and how to store all that.
- Yeah. - You're good there.
Oh, number one thing.
- [Stacy] The breaker.
- There you go.
- [Stacy] I got you. Breaker.
Oh, you're gonna take the WeBoost off the roof tonight?
- Yeah. I'll disconnect the cables.
Let's walk over there and I'll show you,
we'll just disconnect that.
If I were here, I would probably leave that
in the slide opening and just close it.
But we'll take, I'll disconnect it tonight
and we'll take the WeBoost cable
out and I'll just put it on the roof,
I'll coil it up on the roof. - Okay.
- And we'll leave it attached. That way
if you have to get up there, it's already there.
All you got to do is just run the cable back through there
and we can hook it back up.
- [Stacy] Okay.
- And then, these you can leave on
since we're only going around the block.
You can just leave them on and that's it.
- Well, if I can drive the rig
from our last park to here--
- Towing the Jeep.
- Towing the Jeep and I hooked up the Jeep,
if I can survive that I can literally drive
around the corner to the backside.
- Yeah. And the good thing is, I think we mentioned earlier,
we will have somebody help guide her in.
- Yeah.
- And it's funny, we were just out doing our walk
around the rig here and the people that are
in the spot knew we were coming in
and they came over and gave us some pointers
on the spot and, or about the spot I should say,
so, we're good. - Yeah.
So apparently we need binoculars
to watch the golfers.
Might be a good time to invest in that.
We'll need it for Balloon Fiesta anyway.
- That's right, they said that they would sit out there
and they would laugh and watch all the golfers.
And last week they went and played golf
and they knew that the peanut gallery was right there.
So they skipped that hole, which is hole 14.
They just went right past it.
-Yeah.
- So once we get settled and stuff over there
we will definitely give you a tour of the place.
- Yeah, you're gonna like it just as much as we do.
- Yeah, I'm back home from dropping Phil off
for his surgery.
And now I have to pack up the rig all on my own,
for the first time.
You can kind of see behind me
I've already started on the inside.
So now I'm gonna go outside and take everything down
except the power. The people who are in our site
now we talked to them yesterday, and they are leaving
at 9:00 AM.
So I have about an hour and a half to get packed up.
So I'll leave the power on until the last minute.
(upbeat music)
I'm almost done outside.
I'm just gonna need to do the power.
Thank goodness.
I did it all by myself on the way here.
So if you wanna see that video
where Phil and I switched places for the first time.
You should check that out.
Before I bring the slides in
I'm gonna do a quick walk around just
to make sure there's nothing in the slides.
There's nothing that could get trapped
because that's the last thing I want.
Usually one of us is outside.
Just double-checking making sure everything is good.
But with me by myself, I got to do both jobs.
I've already moved the e-bikes out of the way.
You can see them now behind the rig
they were kind of tucked up underneath the slide.
So I've moved those out of the way and the slides look good
nothing that I'm going to trap.
So I'm gonna go ahead and use the AC to close the slides.
I'm not gonna start the rig.
I'm just gonna turn it to AC mode and close them up.
Since I'm still plugged into shore power
and be one less thing I have to do when it's time to move.
All right, it's time to do it.
I just broke out into a big old sweat,
but I'm moving the rig by myself.

All right guys, I made it.
I did it.
I did everything without Phil.
Oh my gosh.
When I got into the seat of the rig to drive it
I broke out into a big, deep sweat.
But, luckily I had some awesome people here to help me out.
Jay and Jenny came over and guided me in perfectly.
I didn't even have to adjust the rig.
I was able to open up the slides
and I just hooked everything up.
Although I want you to know, I did have a moment
of panic because after I hooked up the outside,
I came in to turn on the air
'cause I want it nice and cool when Phil comes home
and the air wouldn't come on.
So I'm like, "Oh my gosh, what did I do wrong?".
So I went back out, checked the pedestal again,
made sure I flipped on the breaker.
Came back in, the charge controller looked fine.
I went in the back, turned the AC on in the back.
It came on right away.
So then I was thinking, "Oh crap,
something's wrong with their AC!
It was just fine.".
So I went over again and of course it was set on 78
and it was 77 in here.
So there you go.
It's all good.
I'm super excited that I did it. So, be sure and trade places.
So in case something like this happens,
you're confident to do both sides
or should I say both jobs?
So, Phew! Now to put together the inside.
So I'm ready when they call me to come get him.
Phil is no longer slurring
and is now allowed to be on camera.
- Woo hoo! I'm back.
Well, somewhat back anyway.
I feel like myself that's for sure.
- Yeah, he can hold a complete sentence
and a complete thought now so.
- Without the fear of nodding off
or drooling on myself. It's always a plus.
- And I didn't get any footage of any of that.
So sorry.
- No, none.
- All right, so we've gotten a lot of requests
for tours of the Casita.
So that is on the top of the list.
- Or as I like to call it the rehab spot.
- Before we give them the $2 tour of the Casita, [Phil] - That's right.
- or the med spa, maybe we should tell them our awesome news.
- Yeah. We have some really good news too.
You're gonna like this.
- So GasStop saw our video last week and really,
really liked the idea of giving back to veterans.
So they heard what we were doing
with the Homes For Our Troops and they wanted to join in.
- Yeah. So remember we said
we were gonna donate a dollar from every shirt sold.
Well, they came back and said, we'll add to that.
So for every shirt that we sell
they're going to add a dollar as well.
- [Stacey] That's right, so two bucks for every shirt
sold to go to Homes For Our Troops. That is pretty awesome.
I am so excited about that.
- Yeah. And that doesn't even include the tip jar.
The tip jar is overflowing right now.
And we are just over the moon, ecstatic with that.
- That's right, every penny from the tip jar
does not go to us.
It all goes to Homes For Our Troops.
- Right.
- So in case you're wondering what we're talking
about with the tip jar, we're actually talking
about our 'Today Is Someday' t-shirt sales.
So if you haven't bought a t-shirt yet
and you've been meaning to now's your chance
because Sunday at midnight, that's it.
- They don't just apply to RVing.
Remember that. They cross so many different lines
on anybody's Today is Someday list.
- And I do wanna also let you know that GasStop
was so excited about our fundraiser
that they extended their sale to midnight tonight.
So if you were meaning to get a GasStop
but didn't make it, or a couple
of people were having trouble with the link
you can still get it for 10% off one and 15% off two
I will put the correct link down
below you can't get the discount with, or,
on Amazon or over at our other good friends, Techno RV.
It has to be on GasStop's website.
And you have to use our code YMRV.
So I'll put the link down there for that.
Don't miss the opportunity for the discount.
Oh, and I have to say, we are affiliates
with them because if not, I'm against the rules.
- Right. So what that means is they like us
and we like them.
So we're spreading the good wealth onto you guys.
- That's right, we're only affiliates
with companies that we love their product.
We use their product and we trust their products, so.
- And absolutely, GasStop is one of the best safety features
we've added to Ruby.
- That's right, all right.
And then one other thing is we are planning
to expand our community.
No, I don't have a mass in my pocket.
- We are expanding, that's right.
- So I'm gonna put links down below.
I want you guys to go check out RVillage.
It is a free social media app
but it's not an app like Facebook or Instagram.
It is all RV all the time.
And that is all it is.
- Yeah. And it's, I'm telling you
it is a great way to find your circle
of RV friends or like-minded friends.
There's a group out there for just about any RV.er
We found our first full-time RV besties using RVillage.
And we were only three months in to our full-time adventures.
- And if you guys have watched many of our videos
that's Al and Angie and that's who we're talking about.
We completely traveled with them all last summer
through the Northeast and had an amazing time.
As a matter of fact
they're gonna be here with us on the third.
So we're super excited.
So what we wanna tell you about is a way
to develop a community through our page, You, Me and the RV,
because the 'you' is actually YOU, not us.
So join our page.
I'm gonna put a link down below
one for people who haven't joined RVillage.
And one for a link for people who already are members
but are not a part of our community.
If you go on to RVillage, you'll be able
to see all the You, Me and the RV community on the map.
And then you can get together and you can meet
and you can form these friendships like we have.
I really want you guys to have that
and be as excited about that as we are.
- Yeah. And, one of the really cool features
about that is if you're traveling say from the East coast
to the Midwest and you want to figure out
or find out how many You, Me and the RV groupies are out there
you can find them along the way.
I mean, it is phenomenal what RVillage will do as far
as bringing the community closer.
- We hope you join us over there.
And we hope you become a part
of our community on RVillage.
And it is gonna be a great way
for us to plan future meetups, because we can go
onto that map to see if there are people
within our group that you know, are friends and we'll know
if it's worth planning a meetup for if there's enough people
around that would show up and join us.
- Yeah. I mean, that is a great tool,
a great feature of the RVillage community.
- All right, so we are gonna see you
on RVillage and we're gonna let you see the Casita.
- So when you first come in, you have this kind
of office type area, and as Stacy will show you
this is where we have our e-bikes, but there's a desk here
and there's a storage closet, but more importantly
and it has this beauty right here.
This is why we got the Casita.
This is what Stacy wanted.
This is what sold her on, on the Casita was
having the ability to have this walk-in shower.
Cause as you can see, I can't use my right arm.
So if we were in our small RV shower
we would flood the shower with her trying to help me.
This is about the size of our whole living room.
We gained a huge footprint by coming over to this Casita.
The other added benefit to having this outdoor patio
is we have this whole outdoor kitchen, huge grill, sink
and a refrigerator, and the propane comes with it.
So the first month
if you're here for a month, the propane is included
but what's really nice is being able to sit
at the table and look at this view and watch the golfers.
We can see them throwing their clubs
we see many clubs slammed into the ground.
Much like if I was golfing, that's what you would see.
- Phil might be suffering a little bit
but I'm living pretty good right now.
- Yeah. I'm suffering more ways than one.
I got no use of my right arm
and I got to wear button-up shirts.
I didn't own any before this whole evolution started
I had to go buy some.
So I have three button-up shirts that I'm rotating.
But, if I have to be anywhere suffering, you gotta admit,
you can't beat the view that we've got
while we're sitting here. - Yeah, for sure.
So I have to remind everybody, make sure you
know how to do everything that needs to be done
with the RV because you never know what might come
up and you might need to do everything yourself.
So I got really lucky that we actually moved it.
You know, I did all Phil's job before we moved it over here.
So without that I would have been freaking out.
- Yeah, and it's something we talked about
for two years that she needed
to be able to do everything that I did.
I have to admit everything went as planned.
And as we talked about.
- In other words, I kicked butt.
- Yeah, there may have been a whole lot
of sweating going on both sides.
- Very true.
I only forgot two things.
- Yeah. - I forgot to re-hook
up the cable to the TV
which I actually could care less about.
- Right. No biggie.
- And the second one
is I forgot to put the wheel covers on the wheels.
- Yeah. - All right.
Thanks for hanging out with us.
I hope you guys enjoyed seeing me sweat a little bit.
Make sure you find us on social media.
You can find us on Facebook, Instagram
and pop down to RVillage.
Join our RVillage community.
It's time for everyone to join together, make friends,
get to know each other.
And we can build our own amazing community
within the RVillage.
- Right, we would love to see those numbers
in the You, Me and the RV RVillage group
just soar over the next weekend.
- When you get on, look at the map,
find out if there's somebody close to you,
reach out to your neighbor, get to know someone.
You never know.
You might meet your Al and Angie on RVillage too.
- That's right.
Man, more than one Al and Angie?
- I know it's a scary thought right?
Head on over to our website TodayIsSomeday.net
for more RVing info, tons of links,
tons of information.
And we'll see you over there.
- Yeah. It's a ton of good information over there.
Nothing that I contributed to,
but a ton of great information.
- He's in a couple of cool pics. (both laughing)
- I am, I am good for that.
- All right, be sure to hit that like button.
- Give us a thumbs up
and hit the notification bell over on Stacy's side.
- And hopefully, eventually once his arm is healed,
- Yeah, one day.
- We'll see you on the road.
(upbeat music)
