00:06:58 super excited about this smart car and it’s taken some time to get used to because I actually had this RV for like three or four months going on so just so you know my video content is really delayed but this video isn’t it really delayed because this is December and I’m recording it and I’m gonna get it out because I just feel like I should but you can catch a tour of my RV a convention and the smart car going to the back and the coolest part at 22 below this video so make sure and check the description after this video is done

00:07:36 of course so Marcus Gerry love you thanks for watching my content of the videos and commenting I love to read them YouTube nosy I love your new toy hauler how is the water pressure in the shower is it better than your van or about the same wide you can store your car now you too nosy I know you’d be watching my videos thank you for watching my videos my RV water pressure is much better now and the shower I wish was a little bit bigger but in general I’m super excited about the shower and what I was told

00:08:11 when I bought it was how much time are you spending in the shower anyways I haven’t really spent that much time the shower I mean I do shower every day but I try to preserve this shower hot water for anybody else it’s about to take a shower after me you know I try to be conservative because I also have to dump the tanks every time I shower so that’s not fun either the shower pressure is good this RV came with a pretty decent showerhead you can always change those out and is it better than your banner about the same I’m just

00:08:38 gonna tell you like I hate my man so everything that you compare you live and so yes the water pressure in this door outlaw 37 RV toy hauler which is what this is is whether alley one of our boss girls looks really nice Thank You Ali Shawn Horton said are you high I don’t know with Cory oh she’s a beaut Congrats on the new RV Thank You Cory I appreciate you always watch my videos and supporting me Cathy fan it looks better but be sure you have a separate heat and water heater fans are just that a van no good for living in

00:09:26 Cathy I wish I would have met you like two years ago thank you very much for telling me that information that would have been nice to know a long time ago um Cathy also told me the true ma people are never getting a good review from me my rig is so cold I have heat I have to heat the water they’re supposed to make heat available to the Truman to heat the Motorhome whoa well has no thermostat so it doesn’t care if I’m cold the only cares no last o’clock I want it on now I have enough Sansa turn off when I leave the

00:10:02 rig and everyone off and we’re at less I’m buying work up a new system they say it’s the controls it’s just like it went home what am i before new home is Thursday that’s right I’m going to get I’m gonna go have this piece of junk techno I don’t care 5 to 6 no water heater don’t have it turn off go ahead and get me the cable the rig over here that knows cutting one week old well Cathy that is a lot of information but it I can totally relate to you and like I said I wish I would have met like two years ago but I do want to mention about

00:10:29 the shower this doesn’t have to do with the pressure but the water heat the heated water the hot water tank is much bigger I have no idea how big it is but it holds a lot more hot water and I can take much longer showers heat this system in the RV van that I had the Class B Sprinter van did not hold hot forever and the electricity didn’t work and so in here I can use electricity or gas in the van I could to take he thought water but the electricity never worked so I always had to use my propane and it was a small tank and this one it

00:11:09 has a huge tank if I wanted to use the prepping but I like that one I’m plugged up I can just hate it with electric so having more hot water is because you don’t want to run out of hot water in the RV but Cathy thanks for watching my videos you’re talking about my cold videos I made from last year so I made one about how to stay warm in your RV and I stayed warming my van which I’ll put links to below this video and then I made another video about how to save yourself when the temperatures are freezing in your RV which I’ll put below

00:11:43 this video but it was literally my nightmare from last year and I dealt with all the cold and winter and I slept in Chicago and I slept in snow and my water froze up and I’ve learned so much just by actually are being Bill in for a minute thanks for sharing thanks for watching Bill I’m excited for you you too nosey I love your name I’m excited for you congratulations on your upgrade thank you so much malee Currington hello my wife and I learned a lot from this video in your video how to stay warm in the winter my

00:12:15 wife wanted to know how that was done so I searched and found your video and your channel however this video made me subscribe I’m looking forward to new videos in your out law and how your daily living practices such as staying warm compare and contrast between the Winnebago and now long travels first off thank you so much for finding me I’m glad you found me because the whole reason that you probably can’t that video is the reason I made it which was for SEO which is what I’m really good at and what I do on the road is help other

00:12:45 people including myself but rank their YouTube videos and their search content that you know what lovely talents but you know I do social media and all that fun stuff so I’m glad you learned so much from that video and my other videos and I’m so glad you found me and subscribe thank you for subscribing you haven’t subscribed make sure to subscribe to this video and put your comments below because you might be in the next video but yeah I can’t wait to share with you how this or be this 37 rb4 outlaw toy hauler compare and

00:13:20 contrast to the man it’s much bigger obviously and the water tank holds more and all the compartments are much easier to get to you and the pet is so much more comfortable the kitchen is spacious and I don’t have to shove stuff in compartments I’m still learning all my storage and you’re moving into a house I’ve had like three or four months to kind of prepare for this before I actually showed you because it’s been a crapshoot until now and I’ve been trying to figure out where to park this and how to travel in it and

00:13:56 I’ve been kicked out of places I did kick get kicked out of a place that parked the RV versus the van you can really sneak around with it and nobody really knew you were even in there hanging out unless you pop the slide out and in here I try to keep the slides in a fun part but I’m still learning there’s so much more to learn everything’s much bigger I had to get a bigger tire air compressor than I had before so I plan on making a video about that that’s a whole new learning experience I didn’t even know you

00:14:24 couldn’t blow up these tires without it so I have this new tire compressor air compressor go to buy air beer I’ll be making a video about I will definitely let you know the more I learn we’ll go through a couple more these these were three weeks ago Congrats on the new rig thanks awesome so if you’re getting excited for you Marcus J more fan thing Dow down I love you so much thank you for always watching my videos you’re the best congratulations on new purchase brandy looks super nice happy traveling

00:14:54 and of course I have some of my older videos land anytime I have cell phone service on Wi-Fi I catch up you too nosey how do you find places to boondock actually made a video about that that you can watch below this video I’ll put a link to do you look for places on the web or here for Mother Brain Dockers I really don’t do not that much so my goal is not to be in dock I like to have the ability to do knock but you’re gonna be able to do that better in a band than you will in this massive bus because people see you if

00:15:28 you’re gonna be docking this you probably need to look up places to go boom knocked out their RV years have been and I would say you know Vegas and deserts and more deserted places or forests type places might be better to look for out lurk look on the internet I have a couple apps that I’ve tested around like these Allstate apps and there’s some other apps so I’ll probably make a video about the apps that I use the more that I start to use them and I’m actually coming up with my own app so yeah I have a lot of stuff in the

00:16:05 works right now and I’m super excited to share it with you but listen enough questions for today I really don’t not respond to your questions online because I don’t want to a lot of times it’s either I’m not on Wi-Fi service or I’m busy doing stuff from other businesses that you know that I have so I’ve talked about my eBay exchange and I’m gonna turn this off so that I don’t continue to blow my battery on my phone I have so much on my plate right now that I’m working on dialing back so I made a video about how make money on the road

00:16:40 and I make some money from flipping stuff that I find on the road when I’m traveling and so I have and be exchange which is an online business that is just something I sell on Amazon and eBay and there’s no method or run or reason to it it’s just stuff up on and I have my black box business which stands for a brand like a boss which I’m kind of toying around with changing to blog like a boss because a lot of people want to learn how to blog and make money I’ve been kind of in the process of tweaking my business models and deciding what I

00:17:17 want to get rid of or take off my player or take on and I really want to kind of reach out to people more in the travel space the RV space and want to know what you want to know so do you want reviews a product so you want reviews of RV parks here I’m at the sunshine travel holiday RV Resort it’s part of the encore Resort in Thousand Trails membership then I’m on which you can check out below this video I’ll put a link to I’m gonna do a review about that too soon I’m still testing the memberships I hope you have any comments

00:17:50 about that or you’ve ever used it definitely let me know we’re on the camping pass I’ve been testing that with this park this one’s in Vero Beach Florida I’ll probably never come back here again these people are serious about their rules and regulations and not that I break rules but I couldn’t even park two cars in the driveway that fit in the driveway and I got attacked within the first 48 hours of being here so I’ll never be back here again I love Daytona that’s breaded next I’m super excited so Daytona Christmas Hey
