Dilly-dolly where'd you go?  To sanitize
the fresh tank.
Feels pretty weird not having Michelle
next to me.  All right i'm gonna go in
this travel center.  Oasis RV Resort we
hit this little red arrow.  That's when we
first met Tom and Cheri'.
Got the AC's running off of the
generators right now.  The only thing
left of that original. Lips sticking
together? Yeah.
You get in and you drive. You're down
below and you look at the mountains, it
looks like a painting.
Hopefully we won't need to run both ac's
at the same time.
Here it is. Now that fuel only cost us.
That's how we like to look at it.
Well, do you notice anything?
anything? at all anything?
what? Dilly Dolly, where'd you go?!
We sold Dilly Dolly,  I know bad parents.
Here's our thinking, we're either going
to have to trade Vinny in
and then trade dilly-dolly in also and
of course you know they're going to say
they're giving us something for it but
it'll all be hidden in the numbers and
we really wouldn't be getting anything
out of the dolly.
Or two, we'd be stuck with somebody that
wants to buy Vinny but doesn't want the
dolly,
and who knows how long it would take to
sell dilly dolly.  Just gonna call it
dolly now it hurts too much to say dilly
dolly.
Of course Michelle will follow me in the
car and
we'll do that until we get our new rig.
But at least we're getting something
out of the dolly now and we know what
we're getting. So we were able to give
somebody a good deal
but yet still get something out of the
dolly, kind of a win-win.
That's the story.  It's that time of the
year, man that sun is bright in the
mornings!
Twice a year i like to sanitize the
fresh tank. We're gonna drain the
remaining water
in the fresh tank out first and start
with some fresh water.
Our low drain point for the fresh tank
is way back there.
There's a valve back here and you just
need to turn that
and it'll drain down below.  What i've
done in the past is i've taken this
filter off
and then you take the cartridge out of
this casing, fill it with your bleach
and put it back on.  One and three quarter
cups.
Stick this back on.
Now we'll hook the water up and fill the
tank. Now that i know the tank is full
i'm going to let this sit for four hours
instead of overnight because
i just happen to have the time today to
kind of get some of these things done
that i need to do and we are leaving
tomorrow. i've got the faucet in the
middle so it's
going to clean out the hot and cold
water lines.
gonna flush them out, shower going too,
got the washing machine going.  get this
tank emptied out
that's enough water running through
those lines.   i'm gonna shut the faucets
off and let that water sit in those
lines for a little bit
and then once the tank's drained
completely then i'll fill the fresh tank
back up with fresh water,
no bleach at all and then open those
lines up again and flush the
fresh water through those lines until
you can't smell
any more bleach.
(song) we are having our first hail storm. What?!
I heard a couple big ones hit the top of
the roof but for the most part so far, it's small.
we're finally leaving arizona.  we're gonna
head over to southern California
and up in the mountains to Idyllwild.
we're gonna spend
one night tonight down by Quartzsite, so
what we're doing is we're leaving early
this morning here and we're going to try
to get over
there before it gets too hot outside and
we're only going to drive part of the
way. so we're going to drive
about four hours just to be precautious.
we don't want to drive the entire
seven and a half hours to Idyllwild in
this heat.
don't forget we no longer have dolly
so Michelle's gonna follow me in the car.
now the new owners to dilly dolly is
right down here at the bottom of the hill,
that's john and gloria,
very nice couple. We hope we can run into
them again sometime. that's one thing
about this rv community, you run into
people that you know
and have met many times over especially
when you belong to the thousand trails.
this here at the top here is the newest
and it has your best
cell phone signal so if you come here,
k is not too bad and j
and then down at the bottom of the hill
where the trees are it gets a little
iffy  AT&T is about your best bet down there and
then any further right as you go to the
pool
fa-geta-bout-it!
this is gonna be so
different. it is!
it's gonna be awesome, nobody
freaking out! yeah!  Alone time! Whatever...
i'm gonna turn the electric off and
we'll put the jacks down and
okay i'll turn the air off. and get ret-to-go. it's gonna be really strange not
seeing
Dilly Dolly in the rear camera as i'm
driving.  uh... if you're
wondering what that noise is, that's the
air
trying to get the air pressure back up
when you first start it.
as soon as that's ready then i'll be
able to
put the jacks down,  yeah perfect timing.
retract all....
these will all show up green when
it's completely finished.
they're up.  they're up?  i saw the pretty
butterfly!
oh there it goes again!  i think it's
one of those tiger ones.
yes, it's telling us goodbye. huh? telling us
goodbye. yeah!
all right here we go again with the rv
trip wizard, this is the rv life app, come
down here...
pick your rv trip wizard,  we went ahead
and put this in our plans.
there's... i called it Idyllwild California.
we found a fuel station that gives us
our biggest discount
all the loves now is only 16 cents off
wherever you go
we found a ta 130 miles away and we've
got
almost 300 miles of fuel left so
we're going to go here and we're going
to get 41 cents a gallon off
they have a rate sheet that you can
figure these things out so we're going
to stop there first
hit the rv directions and
here we go hello
you're ready to go this is going to be
different
i know
if you start calling me micromanaging me
i'm not going to answer
i just hope i don't have to call you at
all and i do not receive texts
on the road again
don't try to sing bro cause you can't
the ranger he tried showing us a couple
nights in a row
big tarantula that comes up out of the
crack around there
on the corner here he says there's
nothing to worry about i say
good morning sir how you doing good how
are you have a great day you too
pray for a safe trip hopefully this will
be a scenic trip too
we gotta go down through phoenix this is
so weird
me following him
i like it i'm sure he does too i'll be
gone for a while but don't be scared
right now i don't know if i'll ever
arrive
where the grass is
i know that i'll be paying for the
ride
again hey siri what's my elevation
so 4 430 feet it's 81 degrees currently
storm passed through last night helped
cool things down
gonna heat up a little bit today but not
as bad as it has been
tons of people leaving the heat for the
weekend
every single time that we've came down
this way
on a weekend it's a constant stream no
construction
then when you come back that way in the
evening it'll be busier this way
heading back towards these pie plates
coming up
i'm going to try to call michelle oh hi
look off to your left my left yeah
oh never mind it's gone now
i wasn't sure
feels pretty weird not having michelle
next to me she must be jamming out on
our music
cause i've only called her she hasn't
called once
we're 36.5 miles away from
ta where we're going to fuel up and
remember that's going to save us our
most
our 41 cents a gallon and that is using
our tsd card
if you have not got yourself a tsd card
and you
drive a diesel it'll save you a lot of
money we do
have a link on our website
livingrvision.com
resources or just go to our resources
page if you go to livenarvision.com
scroll down take a look at all the
different things that we share
there and you'll see tsd there as well
we wish we would have had it sooner
when you fuel up you have everything you
need
with you you don't have to go and use
the bathrooms
during this whole covet thing
just put some gloves on and uh you don't
have to be in front of anybody
hello hi i'm gonna go in this travel
center and go to the bathroom in here
uh we have a bathroom right in here i
was just telling everybody how we don't
have to do that
just pull right just pull right behind
me as if you're on the dolly
okay okay yeah
all right keep some vinyl gloves up here
oh hi there lady hi i got a potty coming
to my house
i know i went over this a bunch of times
but this is for those that still
are not comfortable with the rv life app
and rv trip wizard now again rv trip
wizard you make all your plans on a
computer like your regular
laptop or computer then you download the
rv life app
and it transfers everything to it these
are all the trips that we have planned
in
rv life or rv trip wizard we're going to
idlewild
we've already stopped at ta now we're
going to
arizona oasis rv resort we hit this
little red arrow on the right
and that'll take us there looks like we
got an hour and
31 minutes left
coming up on court site last time
michelle and i have been
through or in quartzsite was about a
year and a half ago
that's when we first met tom and cherie
from enjoythejourney.life
became friends with them ever since
kind of bringing back some memories been
quite a while since we've been here it
seems like
it's about 102 degrees outside 102
degrees
on the tire pressure monitor system the
tire temps have been good
knock on wood everything's been good
information's supposed to be on the door
we'll go check that it's pretty warm out
here
so they said in the blue box
there we are we're good to go you go you
want to open
it's a gift nice pool over here
oh you're done bye-bye
first thing we need to get hooked up is
power i've got the ac's running off of
the generators right now
this is really weird electrical
pedestals are up front
all the pedestals are at the front of
the rig that's really strange
we grabbed some quick lunch and we're
right here at the entrance of the
rv park here michelle noticed a place
here called pioneer cemetery
and what's the history about it
zerenberg ghost town
pioneer cemetery the town was
established in 1869
and in the 1870s the town was a main
stop off in the colorado river
and the population got to be a 500
people
but now this cemetery is the only thing
left
of that original town the cemetery
and the remains there dead bodies ain't
going nowhere right
there's the sign that is
creepy
i don't want to be an unknown you're
ready to go
let's go find something cheerful yeah
we weren't quite sure what to think of
this place when we first got here
and wondered why it was so packed in
this kind of weather well looks like
it's a party place
michelle said i'm gonna party tonight no
she didn't not really
too old for that i smell suntan lotion
from here
this is the uh colorado river isn't it
yeah
there's only very few sites it's open
and it's what 109
don't you see nine degrees right now
degrees
oh i'm thirsty
lips sticking together yeah
well we're gonna take off had a good
night good night's sleep
gonna head up to idlewild this morning
drain the tanks here this morning and uh
get on our way check-in time apparently
is nine o'clock
in the morning of course at idlewild
they said nine o'clock
but people leave between nine and noon
river's gonna cry
we've got about a three and a half hour
drive you back there
yeah all right
i'll be here
river's gonna
uh mexican food we had last night you go
across the
border there into california and go to
blythe
from arizona there is a taco place what
was that called michelle
it was called tacos albert tacos
oh my gosh
hey i was hoping you would stay but i've
always known
that you would go find your own way
i got a great idea while we're on this
straight long straight
straight away here why don't we pull
over
and you get in and you drive and i'll
follow you for a while why
i don't want to you don't like to you
haven't you haven't did it yet
we're in separate vehicles what if
something goes wrong
well then i'll be safe
i'm just kidding
here we are in the coachella valley
michelle
i'm sure is very excited
she can go back to her sherman's deli
i'm excited
too actually they have an amazing group
in there
a lot to do while we're here
hey i heard you want to leave this place
but we grew
up this old town just leave it all
behind
the river's gonna cry when you're gone
do
we had to use one of these turnouts here
let some traffic go by
three times so far this time i was like
oh yeah michelle said she had to go to
the restroom
oh my gosh feel better much some pretty
views up here huh
one thing that i always find fascinating
you're down below and you look at the
mountains it looks like a painting
and it just looks like they go straight
up
and then they come straight down and
watch my speed there was a cop
sitting on the side of the road but i
was doing okay
but those mountains you just think they
go up and then back down
and you would never imagine there is a
straight flat
land like you're back down at zero
elevation or something
mountains are so beautiful
and back up the mountains we go
thousand trails
we pulled in one spot we forgot to check
our internet speed
we didn't get all set up or anything we
just uh left vinnie there and took the
car up and found another spot that has
full hookups and
decent internet speed this doesn't have
as much shade but priorities we're all
set up
got full hookups only 30 amp but that's
okay we're up and you seem to be at
approximately 6
706 feet high elevation so hopefully we
won't need to run both ac's at the same
time
we're going to go into town here it is
there it is in all its glory
and just as good as you remember
even better
the best had to go to sherman's deli the
very day we drove all the way here
don't let me fool you i wanted to go too
they have amazing reubens
and they have gluten-free bread you
ready to go back again yes
every day decided to come out here and
work today got all set up here
i thought i would share what our
discount was through
tsd tsd sends an email to you
after you've fueled up like a day or two
later and it gives a breakdown
of what their fee is and what your
discount was
thought i would share that with you
right here the first thing they show you
here on the spreadsheet is their
reimbursement fee of four dollars and 17
cents then you go down a little bit
further and it shows our discount was
41.68
so that is our total reimbursement 41.68
cents
which the cost was 162.35
now that fuel only cost us 125.49
so as you can see that uh tsd card is
very worthwhile getting
one fill up and we've paid for a very
nice supper somewhere
that's how we like to look at it but
that's going to do it for today
we'll catch you guys next week
