Nice job, you remembered how it all worked. Yeah, I think so
Everything is very rusty and gnarly though. Yeah, we're gonna have to do some uh, derust degreasing. Yeah. All right. Let's hit the road
Well, good morning adventurers
Good morning, y'all
We're on the road again, and i'm filming which I don't normally do so I apologize if things are wonky
Well, I have to drive for the first few hours because we haven't driven this rig in a while
And I really don't want something to go wrong while she's behind the wheel
He thinks i'll panic which is probably true. So this is better this way
But if you caught our previous video, you know that we spent a weekend
Ferociously trying to get this rig in order. She was sitting on our property in texas
She's been there what for a year there were a lot of things we had to fix up, but
Clementine is all good to go. I think hopefully so here is the plan. We are going to head straight west
We're going to drive all the way through texas
We're going to come up into new mexico and drive into white sands national park because as we mentioned in our big bend video
You can film in national parks now, or we can film in national parks and it's all legal
We don't have to get any insurance or apply for permits or anything
And we have some cheeky friends meeting up with us there philly and keely
Are they you calling them cheeky because they're british? Yes
But they have been doing quite a huge us adventure
They started up in the northwest and have been slowly making their way down here to texas
We've actually been trying to meet up with those two this entire time that they've been road tripping
But we've just been busy doing all this other stuff and everything's been taking up all our time
And we haven't been able to get down here get the rv in order and then head out
That's why we're heading out there because they're almost all the way into like the austin area
So if we're going to road trip with them at all outside of texas, this is the only way
Yeah, but you may already know this alex and emma aka the travel beans and their tiny little beans are coming to visit us
Finally, we've been holding their van hostage for like over a year now, I think yeah, but first things first
We're gonna have ourselves a little adventure with philly and keely assuming that our rig makes it out there fingers crossed
So far, she's purring like a very overweight kitten
That's a good description very overweight kid but purring nonetheless
Well, we just realized that our rv is way over the time when she was supposed to get an oil change
It was supposed to be at 88 000 and she's at 90 right now and the next service date was over a year ago
So we really don't want to drive it much further without getting an oil change
But the problem is the places always have bays that are too small or a bunch of places are closed today
And we do not have ac in any of our vehicles anymore
This vehicle actually has brand new ac but the belt keeps slipping off
I don't know if you guys remember that I think I put it in the video
but we eventually had to just cut that belt off and live with no ac because
We've already had many people look at it. No one can fix this problem. The belt always slips off
I'm, not sweating as much but I got a tank top and shorts. You're like full on over there in clothing
I sweat a lot more than you
I glisten, sir
Okay, we'll just see if we can go to the next town over but fingers crossed our engine doesn't blow up from the bad oil
You guys we are doing incredibly well on this road trip
We are about an hour from our halfway point, which is Fort Stockton here in Texas
Clementine hasn't given us any problems
But we realized we haven't even looked into rv parks or anything and there's no off-grid camping that I know of there
So we always do this where we're like about to pull into a place. You're like, oh, yeah
We need a place to stay for the night. You guys we might be the worst rv-ers of all time
Yeah, we never learn our lessons. No never ever luckily
It appears there are many many rv parks in Fort Stockton and it usually has a way of working out
So as long as it's before 5 because a lot of them will not take reservations after 5 so that could be a problem
We lucked out and picked the best gas station in the entire world you guys there's a horde of little kittens everywhere
I think they're too skittish to let us pet them. But oh my gosh, are they adorable a little black one got close though
So close i'm gonna try again once this is done. Don't you worry?
All right. We found the nice one. Come here, buddy. Oh, you're a sweetie. Are you coming with us?
We managed to arrive at the rv park in the daytime for once in our lives
and uh
That's for us. All right, sweet office is still closed. That's classic, but we're not setting up in the dark
What are you doing in there
Trying to find a quarter for laundry. I swear I saw one in here
So it's a dollar fifty to wash two to dry I have
Three dollars and twenty five cents. I need one quarter and she says she saw one laying in the depths of the suzuki
I think I found it. It's a oh my gosh. It's a filipino
Peso or piso
What well, that's let's put it in the machine. See what happens
How long has it been since we've been to the philippines? And how the heck is it in ruby? Oh
I was so excited
Well, at least that means we don't have to do laundry tonight. I guess we're in for the evening
First official night back in the rv on the road. Oh my gosh, but it is officially dinner time
You know what? That means time for a classic slow motion food porn montage. Yeah dj spin that
Back in our little home on wheels and it feels so good y'all. It really does feel like our home
Yeah, it's making us remember all the awesome trips
We've went on in this thing and how many amazing meals allison has mostly cooked in here
I cooked a couple all right
You've cheered me on but she made this salmon with brussel sprouts and rice and it just looks fantastic
Although sorry, uh philly and keely if you come in here, it just smells like a lot of fish
I didn't really think about that one
So we made it to ford stockton. We got about four and a half hours to go tomorrow to head over to white sands
We've planned absolutely nothing with these guys. So, uh, hopefully we can make something happen
We're just gonna meet somehow there at some point
Well, I just now sent them a message like hey, where are we all staying?
We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out by this time tomorrow
I guess you guys we have been watching the chair company on hbo and it is fantastic
It's like one of our favorite comedies we've seen in a very very long time, huh?
It's superb if you like this, that's our kind of comedy and you might have noticed we are not watching it on our projector
and that is because
We it either broke or we lost the
The mount for it there was some mount or something and we don't have it and now we're being lazy
So it's laptop time. Yeah, because I mean it needs to be set at an angle like that to work and that's not gonna happen
Well, that might work. It just doesn't really work without the mount. So
All right laptop it is. Yep
First day back on the road
Success and now it is time for bed
Which is great because going to bed together is one of our favorite things to do
If you know what I mean
Because our bed's so comfortable. What were you guys thinking? Oh, I know what they were thinking
Okay, but seriously this mattress is super comfortable
It is made by brooklyn bedding and they are actually partnering with us on today's video
If you guys remember back when we were building this rig, we needed a mattress that was thin light the right fit
But still comfortable we could not find the right one though
So we literally cut a mattress down with a sawzall
But that was a huge mistake because then we found brooklyn bedding and they make mattresses specifically for rvs
You can pick the thickness you can pick the size so it'll fit perfectly into whatever space you need
We've stayed in a lot of beds all over the world
But we always love coming back to our rv bed because it is just so dang comfy and believe me
We have put it to the test
If you know what I mean
We've slept on it a lot you guys again
Where are your heads at and there's no risk of trying their mattress out because they offer a 120 night sleep trial
So if you don't like it, you can get a refund
So if you're looking for a new bed, you can check out rv mattress.com
You can click the link below or you can head to rv mattress.com slash endless adventure and get 30 off your mattress
It really is like a cozy little nook up here you guys
It's pretty fantastic
Ow, oh no, except when you bonk your head
Are you okay?
Have you ever bonked your head up here? Well, no, I feel like i've done it a lot more than you but it's still really cozy
Well now i'm not sure if I should let you go to sleep
Might have a concussion. All right, we're tired. We're gonna go to bed
You guys can just hang out and watch us all night if you want. Ooh
Yeah, we'll switch over to our other channel from here
There's no other channel you guys it's not gonna happen. I know some of you guys ask about it all the time
All right buzz off
Well, we're supposed to be on the road already, but we're frantically cleaning the place because we haven't had company a while
We're not dirty people necessarily, but you know, there's a lot of grime that gets in the corners we live in texas
It's very dusty. So there's a lot of dust and debris and i'm just you know
Trying to do a nice little once over at least
yeah, and you guys know we've already cleaned this thing, but just one night in an rv because it's such a small space stuff just
Gets everywhere because there's nowhere to put stuff magically in a couple minutes. It'll all be gone and beautiful but for right now
Let me panic mode
Well, we pushed her as far as we're willing to go and we've decided we needed to find an oil change place
Luckily, we found one with nobody here. It's got huge bays
It's really challenging because I have to we have a custom engine
So they try to put this into their system and the vehicle's too old
But the engine is from 2004 then I have to bring my own oil because they never have the oil that my mechanic recommends
It's a whole hassle every single time man every time and we had to disconnect ruby
So that you know, she doesn't fall into the pit when we drive. Yeah. Yeah, you can't bring a tow vehicle into this area. So
We made a quick stop to tractor supply company and that is to get a very vital component of our uh rv life
You guys know we have a compost toilet and you have to put peat moss in that sucker for it to work
We had to empty it this morning. We did not show you that because it is not a glamorous thing
It's gross, but it was very much full and uh, they very much were out of peat moss at tractor supply
So we don't have a toilet for now. We'll only be doing number ones until we can find it exactly
Or dig a hole in the woods because we're going to be going kind of off grid with those guys, right?
Yeah, that's true. Don't feeling keely have a real toilet, huh? They got luxury man. Yeah, we're gonna go and use their toilet
Hi guys, nice to meet you. Can I use your toilet? That's how you build a friendship. Yeah, exactly
Well, we're making horrible time but on the plus side we got delicious burritos
We found a little place in town where they just have all the ingredients there and they put it all together for you
A little bit more legit than chipotle, huh? Yeah, when you get out this far in west texas
You get only little mom and pop shops and I love it also managed to find some decent coffee
So things are off on the right foot today. I'm really happy about it
As she rips that apart like an animal
I just hopped in the back really quick to fill up our water bottle
I'm never back here while we're driving and it's like being in a earthquake or a tornado or something
This thing is surprisingly well built though, because nothing has ever rattled loose or anything
Howdy, hey, what are you doing back there? I got you some water. I already put it up there. Oh, thank you
So
All right, we've made it to el paso just in time for rush hour traffic and el paso rush hour is not fun at all
It's like six full lanes of red taillights
I've also noticed that about 20 percent of the other people on the road have their phone like this in their face
Have you guys noticed that freaking everybody on the road drives with their phone in their face these days?
I mean, I know i'm no perfect driver
I mean i'm kind of distracted by the camera right now
But having your phone right in your face and half the time they're on tiktok like come on you guys. That's just not cool
You guys we're just popping over to a grocery store and uh
We just saw the most adorable rv that maybe has ever existed. It's a little tiger
It's the cutest thing more like a little kitten, but I love that. It's called a tiger
I wanted to go over there, but then allison informed me that there's a guy sitting in the front of it
So there's somebody in there. Dang. Well, if you're watching this your rig is awesome
Well, this is the part we don't really miss so much about rv life
Trying to fit everything in our tiny little fridge. Yeah, I could do it better
But we're just running so late now. It's dark and we were really trying to get there not in the dark
There's always just enough stuff to where it won't close. Yeah
Maybe that'll do it
There you go. Hopefully I didn't just squirt everything out everywhere and most importantly lock it
All right
Back on the road
All right, so these guys ended up uh scouting out a spot for the night about 20 miles or 20 minutes north of las cruces
I think we are about halfway there
There's still the tiniest hint of sunlight in the sky. Yeah, we're gonna call that before dark, right?
Yeah, it's like like super duper dusk, but I think it's just out into the mountains in the dirt
Should be pretty picturesque. We'll wake up in the morning, but we'll have to wait to see
Well, it's turned into dirt road. We are definitely in the middle of nowhere now
Why hello there howdy strangers
Hey adventurers, this rig is so cool. Oh, man, you guys got lights and everything. We only put them up last week. Really guys
Oh, well, thank you
All right, we're gonna park right here next to you guys. Is that cool, dude?
If we could just like stride between vans. Oh, yeah, she's got a backup camera. So
She's got this a little more
There you go
Okay, we're here it's real and now we get to take a look inside oh don't get hit by the door on the way in
All right
Oh my gosh you guys it is so adorable in here you guys it's like a little cabin
Everything's original. Well, hey the floor underneath our vinyl floor looks like that
So that's still under there, yeah, it's a little bit rough, but you know, nothing knots can't cover. Yeah, exactly. There you go
Such a good job taking care of this before you guys go
And I guess now they got a cr rig, okay
Oh, man, ours is cute. But theirs is like so cozy you guys
Well, welcome to clementine
welcome
This is like a melbourne apartment
Gosh you guys what the heck? It's a very different kind of cabin vibe flipping heck. Hey, can we stay here?
Oh my word all the finishing touches like my eyes just keep getting pulled there's so many different things
They have a projector. We're watching christmas movies
It's just like it's so open wow, it's so clean see like these straight lines and everything
Well, don't look too close. They're straight
All right, we got a whole dinner thing going on here what are we making burritos, yes, sorry
What are you guys making while I watch? Yes, we're making we're making burritos. Yeah, let's get burritos too. Look at this. This is
What some would call a tortilla? Maybe not everyone. It's a
A little pac-man-like
Yeah
Oh my god, these girls made a feast
I just was told what to do keely did it all and potentially philly. I didn't know
I didn't know prior to us getting here. Yeah, I was saying we just sat here and chatted about video games and stuff
When you guys said burritos I was not expecting like a full-on like restaurant treatment here. Wow fantastic
Yeah, nice work y'all enjoy. All right, should we do a little cheers? Yes
Cheers you guys to new mexico and friends
All right, we're leaving these guys for the night thanks for the food thanks for the hospitality the fun vibes
It's nice to come over. Thanks for being junkie rv buddies with us. Yeah, we might be here in the morning. We'll see
We will this is so fun. This is so good. We're gonna come knock on your door in the morning
Does anybody ever make jokes about your rv being like a breaking bad rv? Oh, yeah
We were at a gas station once and someone yelled out breaking bad
And I told him I was like little do you know i'm cooking meth in here
We do all kind of have that look
We'll see you guys tomorrow
