 Here we are today. What day is it? Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday Sunday We are going to Midland, California. We're trying to run the snow So that's what we're doing and I got all my my to my mitts I got my insulated coveralls and my wintry boots. So I think we're good to go Robin's not too sure about this. She's still shaking her head like I showed up and let's go This is a super big day for us you guys I am waiting for delivery of my new rig. My full-time life is taking a major turn I'm doing something completely different and the boy and I are here waiting inside of my new truck This truck will be pulling my new rig, but it doesn't have the right hitch yet and frankly, I don't know how to drive my new rig yet. I need to take some lessons and So the dealership that I bought it from was gracious enough to deliver it to this camping spot It's winter here, and I think I might stay here for I don't know a month a month and a half before I head south I feel like all I do is move Good Lord I had to move a lot of my stuff out of the tiffin for it to go to Alabama to try to be fixed and Then I did move it into Doug's house and out of Doug's house and then back into the tiffin And then it didn't work again So I'm watching this guy back this thing up. It's so impressive There's a tiny little space and he's trying to get me closer to the Outlets for water and sewer and everything and I'm trying to learn while he's doing it Well, I'm glad he's doing it this very first time And not me Okay, so it's dusk here and we finally got everything unloaded from the cars and figured out how to do the water and Thank God for Doug Doug's in there. He's a champ Say hi Doug. Thank God I have him here to help because look at this place It is a freaking mess But we're determined to, you know, make some space at least so we can go to bed tonight So hurry Jeez It's just really really snowy here and cold So I have family in Colorado like you guys know And every year I come up and see them for the holidays Normally I stay at a state park, but it's very expensive And this time I found like an RV park campground That was about an hour for my family But when I first started to stay here, it was about 45 bucks a night for a hookup Which I need because it's really cold here So I originally was going to stay for just a couple of weeks But then I found out that the same price I paid for a couple of weeks was what it cost for a month I had my book to finish and to get to the TED talk So what I did was I actually had my new fifth wheel, which is right here Delivered here and then take lessons to see how to drive it But it was too snowy. Look who it is It's badge Say hi badge. What are we doing? We're getting ready to leave. We're getting ready to leave baby So I don't know if you guys can see this but it's snowing and so we are trying really fast to get out of here Um before it comes down Is this the unedited version? It will be now. Okay I'm gonna get you to drive it out of here. You are not. Oh, yeah, I am. No, I'm not. Listen. It's all good, baby It's about 570. I think a month, but then I also pay for electric They do it on a meter. Usually when you just pay for a couple of weeks or a night The electric is free but here month to month I had to pay for the electric and also the propane now They just took my propane tank But they offered a hundred gallon propane tank here for five dollars a month that they then Filled for me like every couple of weeks. They say so It was worth it for me to stay here, but I'm trying to get a window to get out now I'll tell you I'm antsy after being in this place for two months And I wanted to leave earlier, but the weather just hasn't let us do it I mean we got a good foot like two days ago And um, it's nice here. You know, there's a little store down there The services are pretty good They rent RVs from here as well But you know like any small business there are little problems like I ran out of propane like three times Their tank gauge was a little bit off and I thought there was more propane than there wasn't And I would run out. Let's say on a Friday I woke up in the middle of the night and it was like 37 degrees inside my house And my dumb butt didn't have a backup because I thought I still had propane so, um That happened to me a couple of different times And it was because they didn't have any propane so they weren't filling anybody up But they didn't tell us so what I found is of course, you know when it's time to pay They want that done the same day, but when it's time for a service They of course want to do that in a couple days, but it's such as life, right? Um, for the most part, this has been really great. I mean you can see over here I got a spot up on a hill here, which is nice There are wild turkeys here and deer every day and you know, they've got all the services that you need here So, um, you know, I would come back here to the same spot again in the winter if I needed it because They gave me a heated hose. I didn't have one because I was going month to month Provided me with propane and electric and water. And so for me, it's been great But now I am headed to Arizona. Thank god if we can get there We have to go over a mountain pass and a storm is coming in So I'm gonna go now. It is freaking icy out here Trying not to bust my ass I swept the roof off because it's against a lot of drive with snow on the roof The only thing we got is we've got about a two inch ice jam here about this wide And a little bit here and a little bit on the other side But if we have to we'll put the slides in with it an inch of the body And then we get down to Santa Fe. We'll open it up and let it warm up It's not a big deal. The weather has not been helping us Well, that's what we're trying to do outrun the weather because it's getting ugly Okay, so let's do it. I know Let's do it See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. We told them we were leaving today So they grabbed the propane tank and they unhooked our power Even though we're not leaving for hours. And so now We didn't have any power to like finish the laundry inside And we all of a sudden don't have power with our jacks. We can't get out of here And now we're trying to figure out even when we turn the power back on Why we don't have any power to the jacks so Um, so staying in a place like this has its benefit, but Also, they can be a little crunchy Well for snag This is what uh levels and lifts up the rig so we can hitch it up and it's not powering on It was working when they brought it here All right, what's going on badge? Okay The jacks Have their own fuse, but we don't have no fuses. See the fuse is blowing What does it look like when it's blown see the center is gone? Oh So there was a center there before okay. Now this is uh Was this this is a 10 app we put 15 in so we'll see where did you get that I took it out of the television He took it out of the television Still not working, huh? So you replace the fuse. Well, we got one fuse that might be for something We found it so I had 15 that red fuse that was in there is for the jacks so now So the red fuse we took out You put in you replaced it with a 15 you stole from somewhere else in my house Made it work. I thought it did make it work. I'll see what it does So what it is is this auto system here is auto leveling but when you're in cold weather you have to override So we're overriding now What we want to do is put the back jacks and the middle jacks up leave the front on jacks So that we can get the truck underneath and then we're going to put everything up slides in and Arizona here we come Okay, so how did you fix it the fuse? Okay, so you found a broken fuse. Yeah, and then I remember I unplugged the module. I forgot to plug one wire in Okay, that makes sense. All right, cool So bad just trying to back the truck in but you can see there's a weird slant over there This is what I was worried about getting the truck In front of the fifth wheel so we can hook it up in this tiny space is difficult And it's really really icy I was going to do this myself, but I thought I was going to hit the uh the cap of the fifth wheel with the truck The slide draw closes don't water on the floor everything's good so We could put 50 miles on basically it's still snowing a bit, but this is minor This is not this is walking apart. I tried to get her to drive but she won't so look I didn't even film us hooking it up Or getting the ice off the slides because we really had to go because the weather was turning And I just thought it was not the time to train me to drive it since he already knows what he's doing right So as soon as we get out over this mountain pass I will drive it Yeah, right. Okay, it's you and me The boy is down there. Hi boy. He's happy And um, wish us luck. We're going to go over a pass for the first time in my fifth wheel Okay, sports fans. It's happening. Here we are. We are just outside of Ritone, New Mexico. Ritone, New Mexico. Close enough. We went, uh, what are we going now? We've gone two and a half hours 134 miles and thing runs like a top We what was the name of that hill? Ritone pass Ritone pass And we went up there on cruise And she never could do that before so that's a big deal. But anyway, he has a cold She has a cold, but she's gonna try it. She's gonna drive this freaking thing right now Because she can't believe how this I can steer this thing in one hand I'm ready. So she's ready to try this. You're ready to try this. This is a big time. I'm ready. Let's go. Let's go Stop talking about it. No, yeah, I'm gonna watch you. I want to put let's do it in gear and let's go
