We quit our corporate jobs in the summer of 2023 to run our travel blog full time and have adventures (and occasionally, ahem, misadventures). We love exploring the outdoors, finding offbeat experiences, and making videos about it all for you!
Along the road, we’ve picked up countless tips and tricks for travel - from practical advice on how to book the best hotels to finding the most delicious street food in Vietnam. Come along with us as we learn to travel more and adventure boldly!

We have crossed back and forth from Canada to the US many times with our trailers. Never ever have had any kind of issue. Make sure your sunglasses are off, know your plate number of your vehicles, have your passports ready. Put your vehicle in park, and if your engine is in any way noisy then shut it off. Answer all their questions as briefly as possible and be completely honest with your answers. Only the driver should be speaking unless someone else in the vehicle is asked a direct question. Don't start rambling on with superfluous information. These border agents are just doing their job to protect us all, and if we treat them with the proper respect we usually get the same in return . As always, safe travels...
I just went to the states and back for the first time with the trailer, and it was similar. But I own the trailer so there's that. Glad it went smoothly for you! Sad to see you're only spending 10 days in Canada...there's a lot to see in the places you're driving through! Can't wait for the Alaska footage!
We will be spending a LOT more time in Canada this year after leaving Alaska, but you're right, it feels like a sin driving past some of these places so quickly! Where did you visit in the States?
@@JustinandJess I went through Upstate New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Minnesota on my way home in Northern Ontario. Never thought this route would be so awesome!
You'll have to tell us some of your favorite locations; we'll be in that area next year! Did you make a video about the journey? If so, please share the link!
Border crossings are so random, I've gone from being waved thru, to having a complete search, everything out of the vehicle even the spare tire. It all depends on the person you get. I've learned to just keep calm and be nice and polite no matter the mood of the officer. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Even the spare tire!!?!? 😲 Now that's just ridiculous. Glad you weren't doing anything wrong... sounds like that officer had it out for ya! Thanks for watching ✌️
Whew!! 😅 Which crossing was it? I’m especially surprised they were so chill w/ Florida plates, because, you know, Florida! Where are the plates on the travel trailer from? Canada? 🇨🇦 In college, when my BFF & I crossed on Hwy 5 in WA state, probably the one you used for trips to Getaway RV, the border guard would not let us enter Canada unless we carried more cash. We were 19 & didn’t have credit cards yet, just Travelers Checks, if you know what those were. We had to drive back into WA to find a bank who would help us wire money from my home branch in S. California, to meet their $500 requirement. It was nearly ALL the $ I had in my account at the time! And we, like you, were just trying to get to Alaska, where my BFF grew up & was returning for the summer break. We had car trouble, from all the un-developed AL-CAN Hwy dirt taken in by our Datsun B-210, AND a totally flat tire, at two different points in our 4-day journey thru Western Canada, so it was actually fortunate that we had the extra cash on hand. We knew we’d be BFFs forever, after that series of adventures (and we’ll be meeting up in L.A., again in just 3 weeks, so something good came from all our Canadian adventures!) Glad it all went so smoothly for you two, and the AL-CAN is fully paved now! 😁❤️🇨🇦
Wow, what a journey that was! That's so neat that you are still friends 🙂 I can't believe the refused your entry because of the amount of cash you were carrying!! 😲 But like you said... It ended up being a good thing I suppose. Yes, we have Florida plates on the SUV and Quebec plates on the trailer. This was the Roseville crossing in southeast BC. Thanks always for watching!! ❤️
I was charging it at 1000 watts while recording this so the fans were running. But even then, it's pretty quiet with the cabinet closed. It's typically inaudible while powering smaller electronics like Starlink and virtually silent compared to a gas generator while running.

@@JustinandJess got it. I'm considering getting one. I know the Delta Pro 3 was just announced, but most likely I can get this Delta Pro for like half the price of the new Delta Pro 3. And I'm in Europe, so as far as I understand, not much has changed besides adding one extra solar panel charging port. But as I plan to install this on my small van, I won't have that many panels to begin with it. Considering getting this and maybe swap the fans for Noctua Redux fans for whisper quiet operation. Just don't know if I wait or not to see if the European version of the Delta Pro 3 will bring something interesting

@@JustinandJess and when I say that I will have this in my van, I mean, literally under the bench/bed. Don't want to be running something like the Wave 2 and have a turbine sound under me 😅
Nope. In fact, we pay an absurd amount of money to Starlink each month 😬 (but it's worth it for us because it allows us to run our business wherever we want).
Supertelephoto or a telescope. But that's only one ingredient. Composition is also important (ingredient 2). For some compositions, such as an extremely huge moon, you need to find the right spot for a direct line of sight of your subject and the moon. Ingredient #3: Google satellite. Ingredient #4: Depth of field calculator, if you want to gauge how much blur you're willing to tolerate.
I am waiting for the day if and when these are available in the southern US and I will buy one. There is a roomy dual axle model that weighs about 3000lb.
You're welcome. Yes we just use regular fitted sheets. They fit a little loose because it's not as thick as a normal mattress, but we don't mind it and it makes putting them on a little bit easier. Thanks for watching!
It's the new Alto F1743 Expedition by Safari Condo. Check out our full walkthrough video tour here... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JJwHXtzOv_E.html And thanks for watching! 🙏
I understand the sentiment, but I hate this opinion. Disconnecting from civilization might be your goal, but we run our business from our trailer and we think it's pretty cool that starlink allowed us to leave corporate America so we can work for ourselves wherever and whenever we want. There's not one "right way" to live your life and, even though ours looks different from yours, I'm pretty grateful for the opportunity to live my dream. Thanks for watching ✌️
This alto has a fixed roof, but we previously towed the Alto R1723 which had a retractable roof. We would just make sure that there was no debris like leaves or twigs in the gutters were the roof retracted. We never had to clean it out though.
@@JavaoftheLava that's like complaining to a photographer for showing you a detailed photo of the moon. I just zoomed in. That's it. The background appears larger relative to the subject because the camera has moved. It's just a matter of framing and composition... no "tricks of light" involved.
@@JavaoftheLava That is literally the size of the background relative to the subject based on the camera's location (which is just standing further away). Nothing's being warped, distorted, or misrepresented. I'd recommend checking out some long-form videos on lens compression to educate yourself... it's used in all types of photography and videography (like movies) to offer different perspectives when framing shots. I think you'll have a better understanding of lens optics and how this isn't some deceptive trick, but a principle of photography that enables artists to make better photos and videos for you.
Thanks for the video about this experience. Great to hear about all of the amazingly helpful people. My only criticism: Please edit it down a little more. Wanted to hear the outcome ... but I need to get out of bed 😊
I wish they'd pay us to advertise for them! They don't even offer affiliate commission. It's really a testament to how good their product is that a bunch of RVers advertise it for free while also paying a TON of money for the service. There's just nothing like it.
Since many of us are part-time RVs and don’t live in our travel trailers full-time is it worth it? How much does it cost? Can you pay for it by the day or usage or is it a monthly fee?
Thanks for watching! It would be really nice to run the generator on propane, but there isn't a product on the market yet. We are still waiting for Hutch Mountain to create a propane conversion kit for the 3200i. I've reached out to them and it is in R&D. Our names are on a list to be some of the first to try it out when it hits the market. 🤞
I just bought a new one Saturday I love the app I bought the eu2200i Any idea on a hour meter on these ? I heard the blinking green light on start up indicates the hours? Or did I just see in your video the app stores that ?
I'm not sure about the 2200, but yes the 3200i shows the engine hours on the Bluetooth app. We actually just published a video featuring our top five accessories for RVing and this generator was one of them! We go over the app in more detail in that video. You can check it out here... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2SiBRyXFsf4.html
We purchased the service for RVs called Roam. As far as I am aware, the residential service will not work if you are moving service addresses. In other words, I think you will be automatically charged more for the room service if you are moving. Also, the room service has the lowest priority data in congested areas and the upload speed is lower than residential customers.
I do this with my phone's telephoto camera occasionally too if I don't have my camera. My Samsung Galaxy S23 has a pretty great optical zoom and offers decent compression. A lot of newer flagship phones have telephoto cameras on the back. Not all though. p.s. you can get great compression with a 100mm lens. The lens you saw in this short was a 100-400.
We used a Sony a7iii with a 400mm zoom lens mounted on a tripod. Check out the full video of us going to see the eclipse, linked at the bottom of this short!
Took me way too long to realize this. It was cool to finally find out how to make the moon look massive in the background though. I'm also in the same boat, trying to show my wife all the reason for buying all this gear!
Glad you liked it! I'm so glad I thought to include that drone shot at the last minute. I think it really helps illustrate how this works. Thanks for watching!
You are both amazing! Sending you hugs and positive vibes. I’m sorry you have been going through a hard time but I know you will continue to be successful by sharing your passion and positive energy with the world. 💜
