Cracker Barrel is a great RV place to stay for FREE but there’s a lot more to it than just pulling into the parking lot.
Cracker Barrel is one of our favorite places to stay for those over nighters while traveling.
We spent about 2 months up in Maine the summer of 2022 and we stayed at this Cracker Barrel going up to Maine and coming back to Texas in the fall. Like everything else in life, you can just wing it and hope for the best, or learn the best practices to make your trip go a lot easier and problem free. And that’s what I’m going to cover today.
So we’ve left Maine and now we’re in NY, heading west on I86 to Jefferson, OH and we’re going to stop about 1/2 way in a town called Horseheads, NY.

@richbuck8780 Год назад

I just came back from a 2 week trip in our 34' motorhome. Martin was on my mind everyday as I went about taking care of different items on the coach. Martin was selfless, a true hero in my book. He's left this world way too soon and will be sorely missed by many. With all of the videos that were produced, his legacy lives on, helping others everyday. May he rest in peace.

@craftingwithjean5599 Год назад

Just found your channel today. Informative video. Thank you. I didn’t know about any of you, sorry to say, just hearing about Martin too. I hope to watch the other videos soon. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Cancer sucks! My husband passed from cancer almost 18 years ago. I’m just starting to continue my RV journeys.

Joni, I only now have learned about Martin’s passing and my heart is broken for you. He was such a presence and we will miss him so. As I am also grieving the loss of my husband months ago, I know you are going through so many emotions, Grief is love with no one to share it. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.💔

@gordschultz1980 Год назад

More great advice Martin! You have taught me so much since I started following you and I can't thank you enough. Joni we are so sorry for your loss. Both of you have had such a positive impact on the RV community and that among other things will be Martin's legacy. You will be in our prayers.

Ohhhh, Joanie. I just learned of Martin’s passing. My husband (of 45 years) passed away just eight days after your Martin. You don’t know me. But so many of us feel as though we know you, both of you. I am grieving the loss of my best earthly friend as I know you are. Lifting you up in my prayers tonight. Much love to you. 💜

I am preparing to make this lifestyle change alone and I feel for you being without such a phenomenal person to journey through with. My heart goes out to you for losing him too soon... I enjoy his contagious zest and learning from him so much! Much love to you, Joanie!! ❤️

@smacdiesel Год назад

I have always loved watching Martin's videos. So sorry for your loss, I will pray pray for you. Martin was a bold believer in Jesus!!

@johnoliva576 9 месяцев назад

People with big rigs like you have to stop parking this way. If that Cracker Barrel doesn't have long enough RV spots then you should go to the next one until you fit. I have seen where there are four or five big rigs parking the way you did in the video, and they take up way to many spots, If its ok for you than its ok for the other rigs. Its not a campground its a convince and if a bunch of big rigs are taking up to many spots than its inconvenient for Cracker Barrel. If the big rigs keep taking up all the parking Cracker Barrel is going to put a stop to allowing it. You are taking 6 to 8 spots or more and it is not ok. Sorry.

@teachergirltoo Год назад

Like so many, RV Street, was and is my 'go to' maintenance guide, because I knew Martin would show me how to do it right. I will be using his videos and referring others to his videos for years to come. Thank you for working as a team to produce them. Most importantly, I am so very sorry for your loss. 💐

Joni, words fails me. Martin's passing has finally come so suddenly and how our hearts ache for you. Thank you for sharing him and your journeys over the years. He will be dearly missed by many who enjoyed your adventures when he shared them "live," but his legacy will continue on and on for those who will gain so much first-hand knowledge from Martin even in the coming years.

Wow just read the comments that Martin went to RV heaven? Martin was indeed selfless. As far as I can tell, he dedicated most of the latter part of his life to helping many, many people who he never met, and he never asked anything in return. I'm literally new to this RV life, haven't even spent one night in it yet, but thanks to Martin, I've already learned so much that I will avoid hundreds of mistakes and problems over the years. Martin has helped thousands. We should all go to heaven with legacies like that! Rest in Peace buddy, because all the campgrounds up there have full hookups.

Curious what other RV'ers think about Martin leaving the toad attached. With a dolly, I agree that it's too much trouble. But with the flat towing rig he had? We set up for flat towing this spring and the ease of detaching/attaching has been a revelation. I would have parked the RV in the rightmost RV spot and happily moved the toad to a nearby car spot. Martin will be missed. One of the most entertaining and informative personalities on youtube. So sorry to hear about his passing.

Ah man I’m just reading. When did Martin pass away? Even though I’ve subscribed I would see y’all’s videos in my thread and I remember a few months ago Martin mentioning his cancer diagnosis. Got busy with life and decided to back to the subscription. This is terrible news. So sorry for your loss. As a new RV owner Martin taught me a lot. I’ll never be as good and thorough as him but I try. Cancer is horrible. Lost my dad in 2021 and a good friend a few months ago. I’ll continue to look at his videos. Thnx for all your hard work.

I just discovered Martin's channel after I produced a video about Cracker Barrel recently. I have watched a couple of Martin's videos now and am so sad to hear that he has passed.

He left a great legacy.
