Q+A Tuesday! Tune in to hear Kerry and Russ answer some of the viewer questions and comments submitted over the last week.
Questions/comments covered:
Dino Caroll: Love your t-shirts...how can we get one???
2/9/19 update: available at our online store: https://teespring.com/stores/the-roads-we-roam-store
Michelle Hauser: Kerry, would you feel safe traveling the roads solo?
Stacey Forrest: Hey, did you guys notice if Liberty Outdoors had the keder rail on the 2019? I love those "bonnets" you can slide in (instead of the Thule awnings we have).
Oshtoolman: Kerry had mentioned the change in the bedroom in the area near the "headboard" that here isnt a UDB charger, just a 110v outlet. Good news. You can change that. You can change a reg 110 outlet to an outlet that has both 110v AND usb!! The outlets in the Max are regular household type. Here is a source (or Home Depot or ACE or a whole host of other stores).
https://www.leviton.com/en/products/residential/usb-wall-outlets-chargers
Stacey Forrest: re: budget update: Does this mean more Camper Cooking with Kerry will return?
Petra Olsen: I think more home cooking is in order (sorry Kerry) :(
Improv Debi: Did the things you bought at the Harvest Host sites go under lodging or food? Since those are things you will eat & drink, I wondered where you included them

RVSupershow #RV #2019 #LittleGuyMax #LibertyOutdoors #TheRoadsWeRoam #RussandKerry
This week we cover surge protector security, shower condensation, propane tanks and ways to keep your items safe during transit!
COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:
John McKinney: How do secure your surge protector?
Marybeth Hromnak: I was wondering after you take a shower, how is the condensation in the trailer? I assume you put the fan on to take some of the moisture out, but if the moisture is in the trailer, how long does it take to dry out?
Tamera Everett: We put a little inflatable child’s beach ball in the microwave to stabilize that plate… You can inflate it is little or as much as you need to to occupy the space… And we’ve used 3’ inflatable children’s rafts and even floaty’s in smaller spots… Because you can inflate them however much is necessary… And then when you get to where you’re going you can deflate them, fold them up and put them away… Or if you’re lazy like we are we just leave them semi inflated and put them in the backseat of the truck
Tamera Everett: U-Haul stores refill propane tanks… And those suckers are everywhere
Kathi Vanderbilt: Our Ace Hardware stores refill tanks but Walmart doesn’t do it in our area. Check out this Website to find locations near you that refill or exchange tanks - https://www.amerigas.com/propane-locations
Stacey Forrest: Don't know if this is worth mentioning, but did you know road rock salt is also a dehumidifier?
Lynn Castelman (comment taken from Friday Night Wine): put kitty litter in socks and stash throughout camper to absorb moisture!

IMDB TRIVIA FACTS MENTIONED:
Trivia: Boulder Colorado is Robin Williams destination in "R.V". Boulder Colorado is also the setting for the TV series "Mork & Mindy" which also starred Robin Williams in the title role as "Mork
Trivia: A life-long fan of camping, Jeff Daniels has owned an RV for years. According to a Detroit radio interview, his RV driving lessons for the movie were quickly canceled when he arrived on location in his personal recreational vehicle.
The Munro RV is a Forest River, Georgetown 359 TS. Five of them were purchased, plus a sixth which was ordered in pieces.
The "Happy Max" horn on the Gornicke's RV plays a portion of the theme from Star Trek(1966)
The script originally called for a 1990s recreational vehicle, but the director wanted something more classic. His search yielded two 1948 "Flexible Clippers," which were used in the '40s and '50s by such companies as Greyhound and Trailways. Both were in reasonably good shape when the production acquired them. The seats were stripped away, the bodies restored and painted an eye-catching red and cream (they were originally blue and white) and outfitted like vintage motor homes.

What was it like staying at a Harvest Host site? Tune in to hear what our first experience was like at the Far Reach Ranch!
Just when we think we have it all figured out......we don't! Today we made a few mistakes as we set up at our first Harvest Host location. This prompted us to revisit other mistakes we have made so far (we know we have many, many more in our future). Tune in to see what we did (or didn't) do!

Everything is booked and we don't want to spend a night at Walmart? That's the problem we have run into trying to find a place in Florida during December.
Driving apps are great at planning your drive and the estimated arrival times that it projects is a great feature. That being said, we have found that we can’t always plan around those travel times – tune in to see why!
We have been asked numerous times about our gas mileage when towing. In today's video, we discuss our MPG as well as what things affect it while we are on the road.
This is the audio from our daily video log (VLOG #35) . Watch it here: https://youtu.be/l2py7bzdOco
Not everything is intuitive! You have an RV that has a bathroom but what do you do with the waste? If you are staying a campground you probably have hookups or there is a place on-site. But what if you are boondocking - or on the road? We recently had to figure this out as we have been using our portable waste tank and we do not have sewer setup where we are staying. Watch our daily VLOG #34 to see what we found out!
