Hello everyone! We’re Shannon and Dave, and we live part time in our Lance 825 Truck Camper with our rescue pup, Hatch. We document our adventures across the country, and love helping fellow campers out by giving tours of the campgrounds we stay at, showing places worth adding to your bucket list, and giving step-by-step tutorials of projects we do to our truck camper.

Thank you so much for watching our videos and all of your amazing support!
Nice place, but most of the National Forest Campgrounds are poor. Whenever I go through a new area, I check out the campgrounds and ask myself if I want to spend a week there? I said “no” to every campground along that byway. Small, cramped, no privacy, no trees, and uneven surfaces. Looking at you, Brooklyn Lake.
Welcome to our channel! Our rig is great! We haven’t had any issues with it. The only upgrades we did to our truck is add Torklift StableLoads and Fox shocks for a smoother ride on dirt roads. It’s really helped!
Good choice on the Super Duty, I personally would have went for the 350 Super Duty Dually,, and this comes from years of experience with 150s, and 250s, yes the 350 might be a bit much truck but you are always adding or taking away stuff so it would be beneficial to already have the capacity to haul that stuff, and here in BC Canada 🇨🇦 we are charged a luxury tax for the 3/4 ton trucks, but not the 1 ton as they are classified as a commercial vehicle,,damn tax man,,,anyways, nice set up you have, , coming a bit late to the party lolol, have safe travels
I am so happy for Hatch! And for you! Now he gets to have a fun life. Our last Shepherd was attacked and bitten twice by a big Malamute up in the Backcountry. That Dog was not on a leash. That and some little dogs that he met early on would try to attack him. This all led to him being scared and reactive to most other Dogs as well. He was awesome with kids and all people. These two we have now went to training and were socialized and it really makes a difference. They are more confident walking by barking Dogs. We were also advised that the Dogs don't need to meet other dogs on the street because you don't know what that Dog is like.
Thank you for sharing. We are so sorry to hear about the attacks. We’re glad your dogs now are doing well. Having a reactive dog is definitely challenging. But Hatch is growing more and more confident with every training session. We are so happy to be by his side to help him through it 💕
This warms my heart. So happy to see Hatch doing and adjusting so well. Exactly one year ago today we suddenly and unexpectedly lost our best buddy, Ace. Like Hatch is to you, he was our hiking, outdoors, day trip and overall furry best friend. We know he is exploring with his mom, Hussi, over the rainbow bridge and we look forward to all being back together someday. Please give Hatch a big hug today from us. 🐶🐶🐶💕💕💕🌈🌉
Dogs really are special ❤️ We are so sorry about Ace. We lost our sweet dog Biscuits back in 2020. He was our fur baby for 16 years, and we still miss him. Hopefully he’s made friends with your pups over the rainbow bridge as well. We are squeezing Hatch extra tight today 💕 Thank you for sharing.
I'm a new follower. I really like how you make it feel like a tv show "previously" I will be binging every episode. Your editting is amazing as well! Thank you for your content ❤

Thanks! Overall our setup has been good. The Renogy batteries work perfectly, but if we were to do it again, we would invest in higher quality solar panels. We don’t think they are producing as much power as they should be. We may save up and upgrade to Renogy’s some day in the future. Good luck with your upgrade and safe travels!
Where is your dog? I so hope I’m wrong, it since you just posted this, with no dog, it would appear that you’ve already gave him up. If that is the case I’m appalled, disappointed, and will work to ensure that you your RU-vid efforts are toast.
Hatch is doing great, and has been on more camping adventures with us. The California trip should be the last one from before we adopted him 🐕 We love that everyone is such a fan of him! Safe travels!
As you overlooked Emerald Bay and drove around it, there was "Vikingsholm" down below (built 1929 by Mrs. Lora Josephine Knight, with lots of "imported" Scandinavian craftsmen)...you could see a little of its beach in front of the house (at 6:07). It's a California State Park now so it's open to the public. You get to it by private boat or party/tour-boat (hence its beach and docks for boats) or in your vehicle: You park above it in the parking lot (by Hwy 89) and hike down the winding 1-mile trail to the house. Then hike back up to the parking lot. Not too bad though as the "trail" is a wide dirt/access-road (off-limits to visitors' cars/trucks) so nothing extreme. Even so, going down the trail is easier than going UP it (500 ft in elevation). If not in good physical shape, do not attempt it (they warn you!). ;-) You could also see the tiny Fannette Island in the bay that she built a "Tea House" at the top of it (it's in ruins now though). IIRC, the falls were part of her property also. Happy Travels, -- BR
Oh wow! Thank you for all this info! There was still so much we didn’t get to see (like the other half of the lake!), this place is definitely added to our list for next time. Safe travels!
Lake Tahoe is such a beautiful area . I went out to Reno in 2004 for a bowling tournament so we had a day off so me and three friends rented a car and drove all around Lake Tahoe and other areas in Nevada . Was awesome . So nice I get to see the scenery again in your video . I'm sure you enjoyed it minus the gas prices .Yum chicken and dumplings is one of my favorite comfort foods especially when its cold out .
Once again you nailed this video. The color of everything was beautiful and the quality of the video was very good. Thank you. See you next journey you take us on.
We went the first week of June. We had trouble finding detailed info about when their winter closures typically are. Hopefully we can make it back out there one day and get some insider info from the rangers.
We were there the first week of June, which we thought would be late enough to see the whole park 😅 we hope you have a great trip!!! Just be sure to check the park’s website for current road conditions 😉
His name is Hatch 🐕 And he’s doing great! This trip happened before we adopted him. I think the Tahoe one might be the last episode without him, so he’ll be back on the channel soon! Thanks for asking! 😊
