Compared to tenting the work is probably the same right❓ I just took my grandkids camping for the first time. I have always been a tenter and was wondering if I should get a tent trailer or just a small hauling trailer for all the extras that I need for them due to vehicle packing space. WOULD LOVE if any of you can help me decide.. help‼️😅
Lots of things are expensive, especially as a family. Some people will spend $15k on a Disney vacation, so $2300 is definitely a budget many families find more affordable.
Im considering traveling overnight (just one night) coach with my child. Im worried about losing our spots next to each other while in the observation car. Amtrak cant guaranteed and i dont want to rely on the kindness of strangers. Did yall have any trouble with this..or any tips? Thanks!
Once you're seated, your seat is yours, even if you get up and move around. We always had someone in our spots with our stuff, but there is a tag that stays above your seat with your destination. It doesn't get removed until that destination is reached.
Really nice to see another video from you guys. I'd almost given up. I am so glad that you had a great trip to Japan. It really is an exciting country. Am looking forward to your future wanderings back here in the state's. Have a lovely day my friends! Cheers!! Illinois, USA
Thank you, that was very informative. Sounds like you have a wonderful family life. I enjoyed homeschooling my 4 children and being able to travel more and learn from the real world together. Brings back many happy memories. I would have loved to have heard more from the kids, too. Take care!
I had to tag on to one of the last videos that you made to check in with you guys. Are you guys OK? Are you still traveling around? Just checking. Hope all is well with you all. Have a great day! Cheers!! Illinois, USA
Thank you for checking in! We are still traveling. I took a break from our longer videos, but you can still see some current shorts. We'll be posting longer videos again soon!
Thanks for sharing you experience. Im very glad to find your channel. My wife and I with a 10 month old just got an old 1999 coleman pop up. We're going for our first camping trip in a week. I appreciate all the tips you give.
When I heard him say the fridge could be better used as a cabinet, I knew you guys were for real. I have been camping almost all of my 70+ years from a kid to backpacking to pickup truck campers, to pop-ups, and pop-ups are my fave. You can't beat them for space, light weight, low cost, and comfort (if there is a heater). You guys have learned a lot and thankfully have a gift of giving that to others. Thank you so much.
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed our tips. We love helping people get outside and enjoying what camping can provide. (and yes! A heater is super necessary to expand that camping season)
This park is definitely more of a kid park. There are only a few larger thrill rides. You'd have to be really into legos to enjoy as just an adult without kids.
Someone needs to blow this channel up, good luck on your travels guys, and if you're ever in the philippines, shout me, I'll let you know what to get and where to go
Hello your info about Da Nang is great. I would like to vacation there with my family for 3 weeks. In March/April. Please tell me what it looks like with mosquitos, since I am traveling with children I wanted to ask about your experience. Is it very bad-many bites? Is it a place to vacation with children? have you taken any vaccinations also for your children? can you use tape water to brush your teeth? Did you also tolerate the raw salad with eating? Sorry for the many questions, but I am now also a father and a bit worried about my children. Thank you and best regards. Emil
We were there in December, so mosquitoes weren't really a concern as much. This is the insect repellent we travel with: www.learnersandmakers.com/our-family-found-the-best-insect-repellent-for-kids-and-its-deet-free/ We filtered our water while in Vietnam. We are very cautious and also used filtered water with teeth, but I think a lot of people brush teeth with tap water. With little kids, I'd just use filtered. Here's more info on what we do and a faq: www.learnersandmakers.com/drinking-water-safety-a-family-travel-faq/ We didn't do any extra vaccinations, but people sometimes get Japanese encephalitis vaccine. Check with your doctor to see what they recommend for the amount of time and time of year you will be there. We were also very careful with raw fruits and veggies. We always washed with filtered water and didn't buy pre-cut. In restaurants we had no problem and didn't worry about it there. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Just started watching your video and you said your not limited in where you can take a pop up camper but you can't take them in certain national parks for instance Fishing Bridge in Yellowstone doesn't allow them and there are others that say they allow campers as long as the canvas isn't exposed which we know that's what popups do. Just thought I would let you know you should check before making a trip
Yes. If it’s a tent only camp ground that is a limitation. We feel like since our popup was so small though we had a huge number of campgrounds (that allow trailers) to pick from. Small is not the trend we are seeing on the roads.
We had a 2004 Rockwood Freedom. It was about 12 feet long, so definitely one of the smaller models. Look for the dry weight and check it with your towing capacity. You definitely want some wiggle room because it will be heavier once you put gear in!
