 Morning everybody afternoon Say hi Neil. We're at home Getting a few things done this week That air valve that was damaged on my truck I need to get a closer look at that and replace it if I can There's quite a bit of dirt build up on my truck and I need to go over it Make sure there's nothing else that got damaged down there It looked like a rock just hit it and knocked that airline out and it also Could have damaged that valve a little bit which is pretty easy to replace I'll probably be able to do that myself, but there's a lot of other things going on this week But a little bit of home time content coming for you We're taking care of things here. There's always something to do Timmy Timmy hoes we're going past Timmy's. Oh, this is like a federal crime, isn't it? We're going to holiday RV need some more parts for our trailer. Oh Yeah Parts right here. I want part right here It used to be a big grocery store in town and then it sat vacant for years and then holiday RV bought it Which is awesome. Now. It's the largest indoor RV showroom in the province. I believe I think that's their claim to fame right now They've been selling a lot though This place was packed at the beginning of the summer this whole lot here is packed with trailers now It looks like they're selling through their inventory a bit so Britt and I have started a new business. We're gonna be renting our trailer out As a side business and Britt is gonna be running it for the most part While I'm on the road But we have our first renter coming tomorrow to grab our trailer from us And that's why we've been doing so much work on the RV to bring it right back up to a brand new standard so that It's ready tomorrow. They're taking it out over August long weekend I don't we're pretty excited to have our first our first customer. We started this business just a month ago You got to spend money to make money So we had to spend a little bit like I'm doing right now into the trailer to bring it up to the standard that we would Want from a rental hopefully we'll have it booked throughout the rest of the summer and the next year We'll start from the beginning of the season and have it booked fully through the season And then we'll just block off the dates when we want to use it so that we have the camper to use But other than that if it's just gonna sit in storage, why not put it to good use and let people who want it Use it. I feel good about it then because then I feel like we're helping other families like us Enjoy their summer and take their kids out camping or just take each other out camping. We have a pretty small trailer It only sleeps four. I would say it sleeps three adults comfortably if two of the adults are a couple There's a queen bed. It's a Murphy bed that comes down and then there's a Dinette that folds down into like a double or a twin bed where two kids could sleep easily, but one adult I Wouldn't say that why you could fit two adults on there if they're close maybe two couples So you thought or if you're just that close to your friends On the second bed, but yeah, it's it officially it sleeps four. So it's not the biggest camper but Yeah, hopefully we can help some other people in the region here enjoy their summer holidays a little bit more why Why buy a brand new camper if you're just gonna use it once or twice a year when you could just rent from us All right, and you don't have to make the investment of buying it And you still get to have a nice air-conditioned camper to sleep in right? We'll see we'll see where this goes. So we're just starting off So we want to put our best foot forward and make sure that everything goes as smoothly as possible for our for Renters I am gonna offer delivery But it's on a subject to availability basis because I'm also working full-time and Britt doesn't have the time with our baby to always deliver it as well either So subject to availability. I would like to offer that for all the renters I would be awesome. You know, you I'll bring it to your campsite. I'll set it up for you Get everything ready to go you just show up and camp and when you're done You just clean it for us the best you can and then I'll come take it all down pull it back home There is a fee for that though, obviously there's a fee for that But you could also come and pick it up if you have towing experience and you have towing capable vehicle That's able to tow our camper. It's Fully loaded. It's almost 7,000 pounds I think the dry weight is 5,200 pounds but The renters that are coming tomorrow to pick it up. He's got towing experience. He's got a Chevy Chevy Silverado full-size pickup and He's done this before so he's gonna pick up the trailer and Take it to the campsite set it up himself So we're gonna meet him tomorrow Explain how everything works that when he gets there he sets it up how we can all set it up Make sure it's all done, right? And they're gonna enjoy the the long weekend And I hope they have a good time and I hope they come back again to rent from us again So I guess I could use this platform as some extra-free advertising If you're in the southern manitoba region or and you know canora Or uh, wherever you are really if you are interested in renting our little camper You can always reach out to me at truckerjosh vlogs at gmail.com. We don't have an email Specifically designated for that business yet. Maybe we should set one up this weekend though Either way if you email me at truckerjosh vlogs at gmail.com. It's down below the video Uh, it'll still get to me and if we create a new business address for for that business Which we probably will we can share that in the future, but either way it'll get to me Uh, it sleeps four if you're looking for a camper to enjoy the weekend the summertime yet Reach out maybe we can work something out. I can send you to our official listing And uh, it's all online. Yeah, you can book it online on our site You have to have a valid driver's license to book it Um, you can get insurance through our site as well for the duration of your rental It has a lot of good options. So if you're in the area you want a camper We got one it's available through the rest of the summer august long is booked already But so far as of filming this the rest of the summer up until the end of september is still wide open If you guys want to run from us So send me an email if you're interested. It's located just so you know, it's located in steinback So if you have towing experience, you want to pick it up. It's in steinback if you want delivery Before you book it. Let me know and we gotta see if we can work it out I may be able to find someone to deliver it for you. I might be able to deliver it myself if it's on the weekend We'll see if we can work something out pick up is preferred if you have the vehicle and towing experience, but man Enough shameless self promotion. Okay. It's a new business. We're excited about it I want to get the word out there. You now know if you need a camper in the southeast manitoba area You know where to find one you can rent from us. No need to go out and buy your own We have a nice little one that you can use for your family and then Let me tell you it's a lot better than camping out in a tent. Some people are hardcore tenters Okay, I get it. I get it. Nothing against you But just think of this think of this Air conditioning air conditioning our trailer has air conditioning Reach out to me if you're interested. Uh, if you live nearby, let's see what we can do Uh, oh, yeah card I can get the right one out here. Yeah, thank you. You too The special shot was in there. Okay. Yeah, thank you Heard them talking there like, oh, did you get the special shot? That's the most important part You better don't forget my special shot We went to timmy's anyway. I was way too close to just drive away I mean, I wouldn't want to lose my canadian citizenship or anything and Drive past tim hortons not get anything Like I said before, I don't know what it is about timmy's But canadians are just obsessed with it. I'm one of them and we don't know why We don't know why it's not that good a coffee. It's not bad coffee. Okay. I gotta give that to it It's good coffee, but it's not like over the moon astronomical like wow coffee It's just it's coffee I have to put an espresso shot in mine so that it actually tastes like coffee because I think it's a little weak But then again, I like my coffee to you know, kick me in the pants Because that's how coffee is supposed to be supposed to taste like coffee I don't want I don't want coffee flavored water. I want coffee, but I don't want tar Spitting all over the place. I'm getting excited right now I don't want tar But it's got to be just perfect and I have found the perfect cocktail at tim's Large coffee one cream shot of espresso Perfect Well, I don't know. We just keep flocking back to them. We just keep going back. Why do we do it? We don't know why Must be putting something in it. I don't know so I'm gonna head over to the shop right now and Continue working on the trailer a bit. I've got a new interior light one of the interior lights was broken I tried to fix it. Uh, one of the solders came off. I tried to re solder it yesterday last night. I fried it Oh, and it wasn't even Friday and I fried it. Uh Oh, jeez this Volkswagen in front of me just peeled out Wow You're so cool so cool in your Volkswagen Oh now he's driving like a oh come on man Sorry cameras pointed at me, but you just gotta trust me the guy's driving like a Can't say it on youtube. They're gonna age restrict my video Oh Anyway, what was I something okay? We're gonna go replace that light. I just got to make sure my uh sewer hoses are all clean and uh in their place Uh, I think that was all oh we got to install a toilet paper Roll holder in the bathroom so you can have the toilet paper on the wall because it didn't come with one So we got to install one And then we've already got RV toilet paper I think all of the boxes have been checked. I think it's good. We've got a good renter coming It sounds like a great guy Like I said through our site and our listing, uh, they have to have their identity verified before they can make their booking Uh before we can release the trailer to them. So it's uh, it's sort of like air b&b, but it's for RVs We'll see how it goes. I mean uh I'm excited to Have a new business started Had to register it and everything got it all official Running it with my wife with brit so something we can do together Because while i'm on the road, I can't always handle things back here at home But since she's at home with thiel, this is something that she can do Uh and take care of when i'm not here Which I think is awesome is like a team effort something something that we can a business that we can do And run together Whereas trucking is sort of it's obviously just my thing right My business my truck You know if this goes well And so far it has like we had our booking almost immediately and we've had Seven or eight requests already for august long. So if we had seven or eight trailers They would all be rented out this coming weekend So we're thinking if this Rest of this summer goes well We'll list it through next summer as well and if next summer if we're fully booked and things go well We might buy another one or two trailers And expand the business there At the same time maybe i'll buy another truck for my trucking business hire Maybe one of you or hire a driver to drive that truck Expand that business Slowly work our way towards our our goals If this does go well And the rental market is pretty hot right now We have friends that do this as well and multiple friends more than one and they're booked through the whole season So once we get our trailer booked and if next season goes well too and we're successful and You know, maybe we'll have a whole fleet of rentals one day We'll have like five maybe ten. Who knows? I want to be the the people to go to I want to be the one to go to for rentals in the area You want to rent a trailer? You come to us. I want to be that guy So old blue still needs a wash that'll be a project for this weekend Gotta look at that valve as well and make sure there's no other damage underneath there This camper's ready to go. It's already plugged in got the fridge and freezer Cooling off in here. So it's ready to go to more morning They're gonna be here at about noon or so I'm thinking between noon and one o'clock See how everything plugged in back there So when they get here the fridge and freezer will be nice and cold and cool So they can put their groceries right in there as soon as they leave it kicks onto propane. So the fridge and freezer Runs on propane so it'll keep it all their groceries cool on the way to their campground And when they get there, it's all set up. I just gotta show them how to set everything up here I gotta make sure that I stress to them That the jacks underneath here are stabilizing jacks and not leveling jacks They're not designed to level the trailer if you want to level the trailer You're gonna have to put some wood underneath it or something underneath the wheels But uh, you cannot use those as leveling jacks. They're not strong enough. It'll break I'll stress that to them Other than that, I think we're ready to go home and sit in the gazebo relax a little bit and Enjoy the rest of the evening Tomorrow's the big day when our First renters come and Pull her away for the weekend Fingers crossed. I hope everything goes good for them and for us Don't worry old blue Don't worry. I know you're kind of buried in there. I haven't forgotten about you. Don't worry. You you're still pretty You're still pretty No, no, no, no, you're so good looking. Don't don't look at me like that. Don't give me that look Look how sad it looks Oh Your time's coming. Don't worry. I'll come back soon. We're gonna give you a nice bath. We're gonna polish you up Don't worry. I'm gonna fix you all up under there your airlines Your turn's next. Okay. Just You'll be fine. You'll be fine. You got your friend in here now. You can sleep and you're not by yourself You're not gonna be lonely. See I'm looking out for you Oh, did I show you the lines that I put in here already? So I put in these lines the trailer stays just to that side of these lines and that line there the truck stays just To that side So I've got 10 feet from there to the wall on that side And 10 feet on that side both units are eight feet wide So I have if I put them right right against the line there I have about two feet on either side of the vehicle. So see this over here See still plenty enough room to get in there Get stuff done Works out fine. Yeah It makes backing in here a little bit easier Because old blues got a sort of wiggle wiggle in I know it doesn't usually have all that stuff in front of it That stuff is usually in front of this but this is being pulled out tomorrow We're just gonna keep it keep it open and then I got the square down here So that on my backup camera on my truck I can just aim to put the the dolly down right around in the center of that or in there I know it's not perfectly center, but I know that when I put it in there trailer's pretty pretty straight in here And it uh It fits in here just nicely. Like I said all of that stuff's going to our new house once we buy a new house once we're able to do that Not a lot of extra space in here, but That's it So again a little bit more shameless self promotion of our new business We rent trailers or we rent a trailer. We have one this year. Maybe next year. We'll have two Maybe we'll have three. Maybe we'll have four. Maybe we'll stick with the one for another year I don't know, but we have this trailer available for rent If you're in southern manitoba area or able to come here camp in this area here delivery options are available like I said Sometimes talk to us first. Maybe we can work something out. If not, if you have towing experience I always come pick it up to you and uh Yeah, if you're interested you can email me and I'll direct you towards our our site All right, all right, all right One second one second. Let me set the mood. Let me set the mood There we go. It's not that fancy, but it's somewhat fancy. All right Yeah, that burner's on burners on burners on all right. I got to heat this up Because I was lazy last time I didn't clean it after I used it last time So now I got to heat it right up and clean it now And then we're making burgers Yeah, this is the gazebo when it's not all closed up I know it showed it to you before my little Light configuration in there, you know, I'm gonna go get my other camera Starting to get dark out this GoPro does all right in low light, but the sony does way better Let me show you the difference. Okay, we're gonna end off on this clip right here Look at the difference with the other camera And this is my sony a7c It always gives a much better picture, but especially in low light There is no competing with it really Get in here like a little Little visiting area in here. So with this camera the sony a7c Uh The only thing about this is that I have to put it through a separate program to steady the shots What's it called again pretty wonderful, but it's a program I have to pay for it's I got 150 or 200 bucks a year I think put it through there and it stabilizes it But what it does is it cuts off the edges around the frame So what you're seeing now is not actually the full frame shot that I'm filming But when I go like this or like That If I wouldn't steady it you guys would get super nauseous and dizzy because the footage would be super shaky So I put it through some extra software to Stabilize it, but it does crop it down to 90 percent. So you're seeing 90 percent of the shot around there I can adjust it to whatever percentage I want I could take 50 percent of it out if I want to do but then We'd be filming like this all the time And it's really awkward vlogging when you're like this close to someone's face So You know what? I'll include one shot now. I've just regular footage so you know what I'm seeing and you'll see the difference So I'm gonna walk around here a little bit Let's walk over here and then I'll walk Back with another shot. You'll see See this is nice and steady still, right? Okay, and I'm not walking smoothly or anything. I'm not trying Let's try another shot without the image stabilization Okay, this is no image stabilization I'm gonna do that same walk right over here Not trying to walk smooth or anything I know it's a little dark but See how much How different it is Doing the exact same thing as before That's why I put it through that program and then it Crops out the edges just a little bit, but I still think the picture of this camera is so much better so much better It's just kind of bulky. It's it's kind of bulky Diesel, what do you think? Are you gonna barbecue? No way, man. You barbecue I eat. That's the deal we got You won't get someone say barbecue. Someone give us burgers for Chevy I'll have a burger. Damn. I'd like cheese online, please Cheese and barbecue sauce. Thank you. I'll be back. All right, so I'm just gonna let that heat up a little bit and then I got to scrape off the grill because I was lazy last time I quickly put the burgers on and they they cook and like what? It takes maybe 10 minutes tops Depends if you use the drink rule if you put the burgers on you can usually drink two drinks of your choice Whatever you like to drink while you're barbecuing Two drinks and the burgers are done. That's a good way to gauge it depending on how fast you drink. I guess It's hungry. We got someone coming out here. Come on. What is this? A separate time. A separate time Are you excited for burgers? You're excited for burgers? You don't get any yet. Okay. Not yet Oh, don't look so sad. Don't look so sad Baby wants a burger Look at this. I'm excited for barbecuing. Don't tell him that. He's my son Here comes a toddler. I gotta like take shifts of eating the good stuff while we feed him the veggies Yeah While you're busy feeding him. I'll be eating chocolate in the back room That's how it's gonna go But now I just said it in the vlog and you're watching this In the future And you're like no way they did that. Yes, we did. Yes. We did we tricked you Daddy was eating chocolate in the back room and you had no idea He loves his head being touched You're like this He's intrigued by the camera. This is the sony so it's pretty bulky What is he holding? This thing's big isn't it? Look at the big fluffy microphone up here. You see it? Look at that big fluffy microphone I know right? No, you can't have it. No, not yet It's not just supper time for us. It's supper time for everybody. Look at this. It's a feast in here Oh, they're getting Chinese too Well diesel won't eat unless we give him Chinese sometimes if it's Thai rice, it's okay diesel Diesel you excited for Chinese? Chevy I am And that's it for today everybody Sort of buzzing around town. We did get a lot done At the shop today Got everything ready We'll be home for a couple of days yet just a little bit of home time footage coming up as we're getting Some other things done and we'll be back on the road before we know it Still got to get old blue All cleaned up washed and make sure that there's no other damage on it I'm pretty sure it'll be okay at this point because we got that Air valve and an airline looked at it looks like it's okay I got lucky I think We'll see you again soon though Don't forget one more time If you're in southeastern Manitoba and you're looking to rent a camper trailer Think of us first. Hey, do us a favor if you have any friends in the area too And they're looking to rent a trailer Maybe they've never even thought of it because we didn't think of it until early this year that it was an option You know, you don't have to go and buy your own brand new one You know people who rent it out Keep us in mind We'll talk to you later
