Opie looking over your shoulder as you are sitting in the front seat was Priceless! Have a Great Time!

@MizzMoss 2 года назад

Opie was so cute sitting behind you at about frame 11:57... When you were in line for gas. He's a great travel cat.

@nomadicfanatic 2 года назад

It was a special treat for me to see that during the editing process because I didn’t know he was up there while filming.

Opie looks so relaxed and comfortable. He was born to RV, What a life of adventure you have given him.

@LaCatLady 2 года назад

I’m glad you’re going to see your folks, Eric. I know they’ll be happy to see you and the kitties. Boy, Tara really looked like Jax out in the grass. Hope she had a good birthday. Thanks for taking us along, Eric. Continued safe travels.

@dieseldave564 2 года назад

Eric, take the camera you used to hook up the trailer, and test it INSIDE the trailer. if it works while driving, you might want to do a permanent install to keep an eye on the bike. A small solar panel and a battery in the trailer would easily run that camera.

The Mississippi River carries roughly 500 million tons of sediment into the Gulf of Mexico each year. The Mississippi River is not the only river with the brownish hue. The color is due to the sediments like, fine particles of sand, silt, clay, along with other materials found in the water.

@deborahhymer9315 2 года назад

Love you tip for connecting trailer using backup camera. Glad to see Opie and Tara on their leashes enjoying the outdoors. Leash training a cat is an adventure in itself. I'm trying to train our cat now. Safe travels. Looking forward to your upcoming travels.

I was just thinking. What if you brought both Tara and Opie out for a walk together. Maybe with Opie's calm disposition would help Tara with the outdoors.

@thelazyboymoto 2 года назад

Hey Eric, just want to say that over the years I've switched up channel interests and followings of what I like to watch. Your channel has always been at the top of the list. I'm the crazy guy that you met on PCH IN Malibu on the side of the road when you parked in the construction zone around Halloween some years ago. Safe travels if you come back to Socal let's go for a ride!!

@janetrice8274 2 года назад

@UncaDave 2 года назад

I use a back-up camera called the Eyeball. The camera goes on the back with a magnet. The TV view plugs into your lighter receptacle. When through you just turn them off, remove and stow. Glad you are on the road and Opie was a cute as ever behind you!

@UncaDave 2 года назад

@Telegram me @officialnomadicfanatic Thank you Eric!

@donnac.1609 2 года назад

Kitties very comfy in Freeda! A couple more times of being outside and they will be fine. Kitties go into skulking mode when not sure. Funny to watch Opie when he hopped up behind your driver's seat when you were talking. He is a very good listener! He seemed to agree!

@wedbeebuzznhawaii8623 2 года назад

Hey Eric! Did you notice @ 12:00 & so on, Opie is sitting right behind you just staring at whatever is going on outside. It is so free-g'n cute! I now see others brought it to your attention as well. What a sweet family of cats you have. Bee happy & Bee safe!

Moms and dads are not built forever. So yeah go spend a lot of time. Find out what's on their bucket list if they have one and try to fulfill it. You're very sensitive person, and I think you'll have a lot of regrets nagging your life. If you are not careful. Mine was, my mother always said she wanted her flowers before her funeral. We had no idea. So once a month I would have some kind of plant sent to her house. She had a house for a plants. And then she wasn't. I cried when I made my last payment on those greenhouse plants. Because I love for a long time if you take care of them. It's been a long time now. And I am so glad I did that. And now I'm at 64 I lived my adopted mom. My daughter's getting ready to send me chimes right now that's my thing and she asked me what I wanted. Eric I enjoy your videos and your two kitty cats. Have a safe travels.

@kendallparish5611 2 года назад

Looks like the smaller class C rig uses less solar power than the class A and now you're able to collect enough solar power to stay even. The smaller class C was a smart move considering all the price increases on fuel. More panels! - yea!

@mattheww2797 2 года назад

You need a tire cover for that spare otherwise the sun is going to cook it to bits

@ericweredyk4142 2 года назад

Bit of sag in rear, probably due to trailer and solar battery compartment. Would need before and after measures to be sure. Firestone adj. airbags might fix sag.

@JF-fv6ld 2 года назад

Good to see you on the road, especially with your backseat driver Opie. All that trash in the firing could be from boaters since it's next to the boat launch. Either way I had to call the campground office, and told him to get someone to clean it up or refund my camping fee whether or not I intended to use it. It's the principle of the matter.

@RonInAVan 2 года назад

Eric I have a Brand new wells cargo double axle 16 foot cargo trailer I pull behind my Tioga 26’ class C...Loaded I get no sway and pulls absolutely like a dream, sometimes I forget it’s back there. That single axle trailer you have you Gotta be sure to have it loaded Right or you will get sway. But I’m sure you know all about that. As for tires I’ve always believed safety in numbers as in Four tires are safer than two, I guess that’s just the trucker in me. That drone shot of your rig setup was cool and looks sharp. Safe travels!!

@annchapman8495 2 года назад

I think it a great idea to go and see your mom and dad because you never know when you will loose them, I just recently lost my dad and mom, so you never know. You always have alot of content, so its nice to see you traveling again with your beloved pets.

@SmoreCampingwiththeSchraggs 2 года назад

Eric we still have a few sites left for the “Meetup on the Mohican” June 9-12. One has your name on it. Would love to see you there. If you think you will make it would you be interested in the Camper Crawl? Just like a bar crawl.

@clarktransport1312 2 года назад

no more silly slide outs. burn less gas, and still lots of storage with the trailer. I think this set up is much better.

@Bbmangood 2 года назад

It’s crazy that I just looked at the video only two people have actually viewed the video because it’s brand new but seven people have given it a thumbs up meaning that they’re giving it a thumbs up without even watching it.I personally look forward to every time you upload a video because I love you you’re a great RU-vidr

@Roobah 2 года назад

Check out confluence point on the Missouri side, too. Way nice and forested. No overnight camping, but absolutely worth the day trip. Chain of Rocks Bridge (Illinois side less likely to encounter break-ins)worth a look-see, too. Tip: buy your FOOD in Illinois (cheaper food and lower food tax). Buy your GAS in Missouri, but west / south / southwest of Saint Louis for best prices. Sales tax crazy high in St. Louis City.

Avoid Oregon Erick! It’s been nothing but rain for 2 months now. I seriously don’t think it’s going to stop!!!

Alright I'm ready for the road trip: just installed a cell signal booster today. Went from 1 bar 4g to a great 3 to 5 bar 4g. Hopefully I will be able to watch your videos non-stop start to finish . And not get the spinning circle. I stopped the video at 2 seconds to type this and to see how fast it starts backup. It's a made in the USA signal booster. By SureCall. The speed test was a out of the park home run. 0 uploading went to 19.3. Downloading went from 0.2 to 15.7 bingo

I hate humidity. I suppose it doesn't get better heading south. So hopefully it gets better heading west! 😀

@TomSpurlock 2 года назад

Eric, be careful how much tongue weight you put on your RV hitch, which is likely rated at around 300 to 500lbs max. That trailer has the wheels positioned pretty far to the rear, abnormally farther than most utility trailers, which can make the weight bias a challenge. Your trailer should have 10% of the total weight on the hitch to tow good and be friendly to the RV hitch. That trailer's wheel layout just seems odd, something you should consider as you make modifications inside, as well as positioning black betty inside. You don't want to add much weight to the front inside, given the extreme wheel location to the rear.

@FMTFXE22 2 года назад

Get that Anti-Swap bar Eric. Don’t want to risk flipping your trailer when some idiot cuts you off making take evasive maneuver that could cause to loose control.

@rstdude1 2 года назад

You should use that extra wireless camera in the trailer when you are on the road so you can see what's going on inside. Might need to add a light but it would be nice to have if you have no use for the camera.

Why do you store the Smart Car with all windows and doors open? 🤔 Glad to see you grinning being back on the road with the new RV and motorcycle in tow! 🏍💕👍

@patriciamitchell4133 2 года назад

I have noticed that Tara's harness is not on properly. The strap that is opposite where you hook the leash should sit between her front legs. I don't know for sure if this is a major issue, but I would hate to have something spook her and she slips out and you can't find her.

Just like what I am going through. Going to the lake of the Ozarks Missouri from Arizona next week. Leaving our mobile home and moving into our 5TH wheel for the summer. Oh so Missouri will be better gas prices, which they usually are. $4.79 here in Arizona. Felt pads for the screen and electrical tape on the latch. If your microwave is rattling put a towel around it and in a drawer

Now that you have enough solar, the next time you come to Florida consider a night or two in North Central Florida. You are welcome to park in my driveway. I am about 2 miles north of the Rainbow River headsprings and State Park and 6 miles north of the tubing drop in. Crystal clear 70 degree water. Very few snakes as the gators keep them down. 😂
