GREAT WHITE BUFFALO (2016 Carli Cummins build)

[JESSE A]

Well, the title says it all. We tried but failed attempt to hike the tallest mountain in Arizona, Humphreys Peak, near Flagstaff. Full time RV travel creates chances for new activities on a regular basis.

It's OK to fail because that's how we learn. Albert Einstein famously said, "Failure is success in progress." We learned we definitely need to step up our mountaineering/snow gear game if we want to keep hiking in snow! It can be tough living full time in an RV with limited space for different types of gear, but the trade off is this lifestyle provides several opportunities to be in locations where we can try new activities all the time! The biggest disappointment is that we weren't even tired at the point we decided to turn around, but we made the safe decision given the situation we were in. Thanks for watching, and don't forget to subscribe!

Off roading our tow rig is one of our favorite past times! Camping near the Cinder Hills OHV area, we head out for a weekend trail ride. Flagstaff Arizona is a great area if you love full time RV living!

Cinder Hills OHV area is just outside Flagstaff, AZ. There are many volcanic cinder cones and craters in the area, including Sunset Crater National Monument. The combination of ponderosa pine forest and volcanic sand dunes make the area incredibly unique and like nothing we have seen before. Our tow rig is built for this, with aftermarket Carli suspension, King shocks and 35" tires. It just keeps on ticking!. Hopefully you enjoy the video and don't forget to subscribe!

A typical RV travel day! We have some minor issues which remind us full time RV living is not always fun. Moving day in an RV is when you find out what is broken, or you actually break something else!
In this video we are on the move again! With many states beginning to lift stay-at-home orders, more places are starting to open up so we decide to seek cooler weather. Finally leaving Flagstaff Arizona, we head north towards Page, Arizona and eventually make it to Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. We break our camera before we even take off but we make the best of it with fun stops along the way. We hope you like this video. Please don't forget to subscribe!

The best hike in Bryce Canyon National Park! While full time RV living we stop over near Bryce Canyon for a few weeks. Unfortunately, we have a pet emergency and Mel hikes Bryce solo. RV living has it's ups and downs. When we arrive at our new boondocking location our 11 year old dog Blue hurts his back severely. Living in an RV means we are not always close to emergency services, so we must drive 2 hours to the nearest 24 hour vet. The following day I decide to stay home to take care of our pup, while Melissa goes for a hike on Peek A Boo Trail. We hope you enjoy this video and don't forget to subscribe!

Biking Thunder Mountain trail in Bryce Canyon National Park! I take a solo trip mountain biking this famous trail. I turn it into a long loop through Red Canyon on the public bike path. RV living allows us to explore way more than living in a sticks and bricks. I start out by taking a couple dirt roads from our camp in Dixie National Forest. At the trailhead, I realize the trail is rated as difficult. Venturing on this ride alone, I make sure to take my time and have a fun day. Hope you all enjoy this video, don't forget to subscribe!

Then after a quick 5K, we take advantage of Bryce Canyon's scenic drive. There is no better way to start off a day than an amazing sunrise at Sunrise Point. With a temperature of just 38 degrees F, the view was well worth braving the cold!

This is a fun one, we crashed the drone yet again! Near Escalante Utah, we go hiking and explore Willis Creek Slot Canyon. A giant slot canyon in Southern Utah that has formed over thousands of years.

While RV boondocking just outside Bryce Canyon National Park we decide to take a drive towards Escalante Utah to explore a majestic slot canyon. The drive in is quite bumpy but do-able in a normal car. When we arrive, we are shocked to see how many people are there. We take a few hours hiking and exploring the area, and decide it might be time to invest in a new drone. Hope you enjoy the video, and don't forget to subscribe!

Canyoneering? In this video we go hiking in Escalante, Utah inside two beautiful slot canyons, Peek-A-Boo and Spooky. We explore the surrounding area with friends while full time RV living near Bryce Canyon. INFO↡↡↡

RV life gets us out into the wild pretty often. This time we pile into three cars and head to Peek A Boo Canyon and Spooky Canyon near Escalante, Utah. The trail starts off simple and easy but it is very exposed with little shade. Then the fun starts as we begin our ascent into Peek A Boo Canyon and end the trail on Spooky Canyon.

Their products, customer service, and warranty are all top-notch! We are very happy to be part of the team.

Virtual Hike in Springtime to Battle Creek Falls Trail. RV Life brings Melissa to the family and dog-friendly Salt Lake City Utah hiking trail to Battle Creek Falls and beyond!

Beyond the falls, the narrow trail continues along the creek, up a VERY steep hillside, into alpine territory. This hike is full of small and large waterfalls, huge dandelions, and tons of shale.

In this video we're making our Andersen fifth wheel hitch fit in a short bed truck with a low-profile pickup truck tool box. RV life goes hand-in-hand with minimalism so it's important to get organized!

With full time RV living, it's critical to get your RV and all belongings organized. It just makes everything easier! We've had the Andersen fifth wheel hitch for over 8 months and it's the perfect solution to our short-bed truck clearance issues. Knowing we wanted to keep the Andersen hitch, we worried a toolbox would be a tight fit. We hope you enjoy this video. Please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE!
