Our vintage camper van is headed for Alaska! But instead of driving the 40+ hours in our RV, we’re loading her and our tow vehicle onto the MV Columbia ferry and setting sail on a 3 day cruise from Seattle to southern Alaska on the Alaska Marine Highway! Oh and they sold out of cabins onboard, so we’ll be tent camping on the deck of the ship for the entire journey. 🤣 Let the (hopefully) once in a lifetime adventure begin!

It's not safe to sleep in your vehicle, but sleeping in a tent out on the deck is perfectly safe 😂 great video as always! This one was super fun!

@RobotPorter 11 месяцев назад

😂😂😂😂

@amyrudolph1090 11 месяцев назад

It's illegal to sleep in your vehicle - coast guard rules.

@niure86 11 месяцев назад

If the ship where to be going down, you rather be up on deck close to liferafts and what not than on the lowest car deck in an RV, right?

@DannyA3579 11 месяцев назад

Probably also don’t want people dying of carbon monoxide poison if they decide to run their engines in an enclosed area. Awesome video. Deck camping looks cool.

@Kris_M 11 месяцев назад

And because of fire safety.

@patriciamoore6492 11 месяцев назад

Camping on a ferry deck! Can't wait to hear how that went. Very clever of you to get Clementine to Alaska via ferry! An adventure for sure!

@Theendlessadventure 10 месяцев назад

It truly was! Not sure we'd do it again, but we're happy to have saved the miles 😅

Welcome to my part of the planet! I am retired now but worked for the British Columbia Ferries for 25 years and have visited all of the ports of call you will be making and so many more. I am confident you two will be blown away by the sights and sounds. Best wishes for a fantastic journey.

@micaylabirondo836 11 месяцев назад

This is SO much better than watching you guys renovate a run-down house. I can't wait for your next videos!!

@vickyrun8796 11 месяцев назад

@jenniferbrown8305 11 месяцев назад

Unfortunately, the state has been cutting ferry routes and staff for years at this point. There used to be at least twice a week ferries north in the summer. I live in Ketchikan and spent my youth doing activities across southeast. I've ridden that ferry about 10 times. Our most common route though was to drive to Prince Rupert, BC and take a six hour ferry ride to Ketchikan.

@Theendlessadventure 10 месяцев назад

Such a bummer. We met quite a few people onboard who said the ferry used to run all the time, so they'd hop off for a few days here and there and just catch the next one. Now, you'd be stranded for at least a week if you got off :/

@msutton3147 11 месяцев назад

Well I was not expecting to see you setting up a tent on the deck of a ship! Your both always so positive, even in the most sketchy situations! ☺ Hope you both made it OK and did not end up flying off into the ocean! 🥶

@PickupthePieces76 11 месяцев назад

I guess whenever they run into these kind of situations they can always say, well, at least it makes good content. haha

@Theendlessadventure 10 месяцев назад

Hahaha, we did not expect it either! In fact, when we realized there weren't any cabins left, we actually called the ferry company because we didn't believe that tent camping was the only other option 🤣

@GOBISH-udu4u 11 месяцев назад

I was bunking in a chair behind you in the solarium! I had the best time on the ferry, it was nice to meet you! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your adventures.

@marge3157 11 месяцев назад

Good for you guys, not giving up on the old girl. If things didn't go right then go wrong, it wouldn't be an adventure.

@FareDaze62 11 месяцев назад

I did that trip for my 40th Bday, sleeping out on a deck chair. I was vastly under prepared for the temp at night with too thin a sleeping bag. It was a fantastic adventure with a very interesting, fun group of fellow deck campers going to Alaska for all different reasons. Hope you made some friends.

@marthat4258 11 месяцев назад

I can't wait to see the rest of your Alaska vlogs! I've been there twice so I can't wait to see how you feel about it.

@judithgreen3689 11 месяцев назад

Who needs a luxury liner? -- sleeping on the deck looks like an adventure. & you're the Endless Adventure!

@mikemertz32 11 месяцев назад

What a great adventure you are on! I was just getting ready to congratulate you for not saying "frickin" during the whole video and then Allison says it at dinner and Eric said it at the end! You sound so much more intelligent when you leave it out!!!

@TravelbyDartTV 11 месяцев назад

When you've booked a 'room with a view,' but chance decides to give you the entire oceanfront suite instead. It's like a floating campsite where starry nights come with a gentle lullaby of engine vibrations. Glad you turned this into an interesting experience. I mean, you're may not be camping, but you're 'maritime glamping!' I've done few unconventional accommodations for our TV show so two thumbs for you guys!

@joannebarrett1837 11 месяцев назад

@susanfoster8637 11 месяцев назад

We moved to Sitka on the Columbia in 1994. We had a pre schooler and jr high kid, 3 cats, 2 cars and a corgi. We did have a cabin, but over the next decade to numerous trips on the Alaska Marine Highway and slept in the Solarium many, many nights. 10 years later we left Sitka on the Kennicutt and drove across Canada with one kid, the same 3 cats, corgi, but only one Subaru, to our new home in Vermont.

@Theendlessadventure 10 месяцев назад

Whoa! That's quite a group you had in tow. Y'all are Marine Highway experts at this point! Glad you seem to have only good memories of your adventures onboard 🙌

@WhereRVGoing 11 месяцев назад

You guys are crazy, love it 😀 ❤

@LoneTraveler-nc6rf 11 месяцев назад

Love traveling up by ferry. Boarding the ferry is about weight and balance with vehicles, not disorientation. Also the reason two vehicles are more economical then your RV and car connected.

@lisawatson3656 11 месяцев назад

I am 100% invested in this trip to Alaska!

@dorisweems1510 11 месяцев назад

I think that's neat to sleep in your tent on the boat deck, I want to do that. What an amazing adventure, wow.

@cketts8128 11 месяцев назад

Oh my…..that loading took so long!! Our cross-Chanel ferries, here in the U.K., are light speed comparatively 😂😂🧡💚

@HSolar 11 месяцев назад

Thats what I was thinking, must be partly cause of the car lift system & ferry smaller than Channel Ferries but much longer journey can you imagine them letting tents on those no chance!

@cketts8128 11 месяцев назад

@@HSolar - oh crickey….don’t get me started on the tent situation 😂😂😂. That’s so unsafe and why isn’t the ferry fit for purpose? Crazy!

@CreatorInTrng 11 месяцев назад

There was a time when I frequently ferried back and forth to Sardinia from the Italian mainland. Slept on deck (no tents), in hallways, lounges, etc. with my sleeping bag with a less than luxurious inflatable mattress. Even tried the rooms a couple of times. In season, the decks are fine. The hallways were ok when it got a bit cooler. In Winter, I would book a room - more availability and a little cheaper. The droning of the engines was constant. Earplugs were a necessity for sleeping. You can't sleep late in a room. Bang, bang, bang on the door early and intercom music blaring to wake you up. I actually slept better on deck.

@AmandaSchnaare 11 месяцев назад

If yall meet up with Simple Living Alaska... I will LOSE my darn mind! OMG!!! Be safe!!!

@jeevjagostudios 11 месяцев назад

Getting Clementine and Ruby to Alaska on a ferry seems like the easy part. Driving the dynamic duo around Alaska seems like tempting fate. I hope your travels go well. Of course, one way or the other, I'm sure there will be entertaining videos.😉

@Theendlessadventure 10 месяцев назад

Oh ya...we're pretty scared about all the mountains (and potential snow on those mountains!) plus being out on pretty remote stretches of highway... 😅 but we're hoping since it's September and we have our little Ruby to get us out of jams that we'll be okay? 🤞🤞

@annaschmidt2 11 месяцев назад

"Camping on a ferry" sounds like fun. My kids would love doing this.

@Dinariina 11 месяцев назад

I remember in 1995 traveling with ferry between France and England by night. I had to sleep on the floor and it was cold. There was also a storm and ferry was rocking. I hated it so much. And end of it I got a flu. Worst trip ever. 😊Even thinking about doing the same thing you are doing I would say no. I could never do 3 day trip like you do. Good luck to you and I hope you get to safely to Alaska.👍🙂

@Theendlessadventure 10 месяцев назад

That sounds much worse than our tent camping experience - sorry you had such a terrible time! Glad ship camping is a very distant memory for you and a slightly distant memory for us 🤣

@barbaradoster5954 11 месяцев назад

You are cruising the inside passage, beautiful scenery! Enjoy!

@SuzeTries 11 месяцев назад

Reminds me of sleeping on the deck for an overnight ferry to Corfu from Italy back in the day - no tents, no sleeping bag just lots of people and lots of fun?!

@teresehansen302 11 месяцев назад

Right? We couldn't believe it! Such a wild experience 😅

@chadrathbone 10 месяцев назад

I think the pro tip for tent camping on the deck of that boat… magnet anchors for your tent.

@jeromep 11 месяцев назад

Welcome to Washington. I hope you take some time to explore the state more, especially east of the Cascades. Come to the Yakima Valley, visit the Columbia Basin, too many places to list. Went on an Alaska cruise this year. Second time. We thought it would be cool to take the RV up there and spend a couple weeks seeing things you don’t have time to on a cruise. Much to our horror, the price to load up the RV and book a cabin on board, so as to not sleep in a tent on the fantail of the ferry, was twice the cost of the cruise, and that didn’t include food; you have to buy that a la carte on board. We’ll add this to our bucket list.

@asnormalasitgets2819 11 месяцев назад

I have been watching your channel for a long time now and enjoy it. Thanks for not putting in any dings in this video. It always scares our dog and she always leaves the room in fear. Thanks Again!

@placesonthelist 11 месяцев назад

We used the marine ferry when we visited in Aug. 21. We rode it from Ketchikan to Juno to Skagway to Haines. It was great, we got a cabin for the overnight to Juno.

@stuartofblyth 11 месяцев назад

These kids never disappoint. On the ferries I've been on, access to the upper levels is via ramps, like on a multi-storey car park. Never seen one of those lift contraptions.

@Theendlessadventure 10 месяцев назад

Us either! And we couldn't believe that you drive yourself onto the lift and ride it up. It was a wild experience from the start! 🤣

@mariepalkiewicz852 11 месяцев назад

So cool - didn't realize you can take a "ferry" from Washington to Alaska ! @2:33 No state room ! @3:27 ". . .three days and seven hours . . . " And , no state room . @8:56 3 hrs to wait for Eric in Clementine . That's a long wait !!! @15:00 the dining room and food looked pretty good and probably expensive, but why not for a once in a life time trip ! Hopefully the cooler weather is a welcomed reprieve over hot and humid or just hot !

@marialaska777 11 месяцев назад
