RVing the ROAD to ALBUQUERQUE // STORMS, SPIDERS, RISKING OUR LIVES & A TRAVEL DAY TIME SAVING TIP

🛣️Stan and Rhonda from Over The Hill Adventures continue west across the country in their Grand Design Imagine 2500RL when they run directly into a major storm. They pull off the road just in time for a night stay at the Elk City/Clinton KOA in Foss, Oklahoma off the Interstate 40. Rhonda was resting and recovering from the intense travel day when she was surprised by a very unsuspecting visitor. The next morning, Rhonda shares a travel day time saving tip as they go to the local Walmart to do a shopping pick up for the first time with their RV. Come with Stan and Rhonda as they face a dilemma with what seemed to be no way out.

[Applause] All right we’re going into Oklahoma woohoo but we’ve been here before Kansas is just a mile I know a mile that way we actually have not spent the night in Kansas with the trailer before I’m sure we did when we did our cross country trip uh back years ago 10 years

Ago or whatever it was but that’s one of the states where everything around it but Kansas we have that scratch off I think I’m going to change it I think I want to get one of those with the stickers because in the States you know that you stick on scratching is such a

Mess I mean I I even had my granddaughter try to scratch and she she gave up she’s like this is too messy so I think we’re going to take down our scratchy national parks our scratchy uh uh estate map and replace it with a nice sticker clean I’ve seen a lot of people

Put them on their slides although that would have to be on this side so or inside the door so if you guys have a map and sticker map let me know where you put it and uh if or what else you use if you don’t use the

Sticker map great have a great day welcome thank you you as well okay bye-bye all right so 12:25 yeah because if I only had one axle it would have been 825 you want me to grab your money yes please give me give me give me give me give me got my

Question is is why do you need a refund receipt so we’re going to find out I’m going to refund it $525 oh Okay 25 and five so then I pay when I go back on you pay to go west okay all right thank you good day okay so we got $5 back5 25 and then when we get back on I guess we’ll have to pay again oh I saw that sign I said

Pay another $12 another 12 bucks another 12 bucks all right well we’re getting off for gas and uh the morning coffee you know went through me that’s too much information it’s not too much information I did it didn’t sound right you’re killing me Smalls I got that for $3.97

3.97 yeah and it was I think it says 450 something 454 on the sign yeah 454 woo that was really good so that’s that’s a big savings that’s 56 cents a gallon time 25 woo so that’s a good savings that is a good savings now good stop now

We got to get back on the turnpike so now we got to stop ahead and pay toll again let’s see how much it cost this time so we’re at $7 right now cuz we got our refund 525 I’ll tell you we were just saying if

This is what it takes to make the roads nice then we’re so for this probably 12 bucks again H hi where you have it Foss okahoma F yeah where’s that at well it’ll be past Tulsa okay it’ll be uh before Oklahoma I was like I don’t know where that at I’ve never

Heard of it we don’t know either there’s just the campground there 10 15 20 20 makes 50 perfect thank you so much thank you all right byebye thank you grab that from you can you check that well this is kind of a crazy scenario here um the toll is

625 I I didn’t Stan has some struggles hearing sometimes and he he G he thought she said $25 anyway he’s walking back I don’t know if you can see him he gave her 50 bucks and she didn’t give us the correct change she gave us like 33 something so it should have been

43 so she shorted US $10 so he’s I mean it’s 10 bucks but he’s he’s running back to get the $10 but we’re in a kind of a little bit of a little medium here between two lanes the pike pike Lane and the other lane

Anyway like we said we try to make the most of every dollar you got it yeah did she realize she did it yep she did was that’s what I thought God oh so so oh not only that I heard $25 that’s why I gave her a 50 she said

625 yeah and I thought it was 25 and I have my hearing aids in h but well but I couldn’t I couldn’t give up the savings that I just got what we’ll do for 10 bucks risk your life in the Turn Pike I’m sure she’s never seen that before Oh my gosh all

Right well if we can get out of here uh without getting run over by a semi we’ll be doing good we have 1 hour left to our KOA journey tonight we’re going to stay at Elk City KOA we have full hookup and um so I think this whole Drive is probably

Almost 5 hours today continue on I stops a little more than that it’s kind of a long drive day again it looks tornado I don’t see the I don’t see the it coming around but the funnel or whatever you call it it’s ugly yeah 303 in the afternoon and it looks like

It’s 7:00 at night we’re a few miles out 8 Miles and we’re going to be just shot in Elk City just east of it in Oklahoma and it is looking a little sketchy yeah this KOA couldn’t have come too soon boy it’s right here off the

40 we need to get off the road it’s at the point it’s Dangerous got it oh my gosh it’s coming down all right office is closed we are in site 55 double nickels good thing it’s pavement huh it’s nice yeah I’m glad there’s this asphalt 55 double nickels that’s 5345 [Applause] one [Applause] more all right it’s a little problematic

But what what’s about the tree the tree the tree it looks like it broke does it Not yeah it it’s just brushing it’s just brushing the top of the of the rig but it does look like that limb broke what’s the plan stand I’m not sure yet is it not looking too level no because where our ladder goes it’s like flooded h C I want to try to

Put the the slide in between the electrical and the water perfectly in between them okay yeah that’s what get out that’s what I want to do oh my gosh I’m taking a I’m resting what is that that’s a damn oh my gosh that’s a damn

Tarantula oh I got to think think I got my gosh um okay I have a Subway cup Subway cup it I didn’t bring it in it it’s actually I think it’s the subway cup is in the um honey no no no no I think you should get a cup don’t

You okay you oh okay use one of those coffee cups oh my gosh you guys this thing I I can’t even I can’t even I don’t even know what that is do it even have a head honey where is this where is it going oh

My God wait a minute wait you’re on the wrong side the wrong cup is the wrong okay oh it’s alive it’s alive oh my gosh we’re just going to throw that away honey oh my gosh look at that where did it come from I I don’t know I could see a

Cobweb I just laying here and I’m freaking out when I saw that oh my gosh okay kind of spider is that we don’t know where he came from he’s like I can’t breathe hello o the hobo spider you think I feel like we’ve done this before that was that jumping spider but

Yeah I I don’t know might be that is the biggest dang spider I have it does doesn’t look like his belly though you see what’s on his belly M it’s hard to see we’re still trying to identify the spider cuz we read it wasn’t a hobo spider if it has stripes

On his leg this guy has stripes on his leg can you see that like face looking thing I don’t know on his underbelly that’s so freaky Oklahoma State he’s an Oklahoma State spider that kind of look looks like it cuz that’s a brown OAS oh God so you think that’s him absolutely

100% kind of that pointy BM see he’s got the white eyes yeah this is him but what is it so can you see if he’s poisonous it’s a BN spider oh really see there’s another picture of it cross well he was in the barn door are you poisonous we’re trying to

Give him a little air just so you know he’s got some holes in the cup I know this isn’t really what these Grand Design cups are meant for but Brown’s a barn spider he’s just trying to get out of the rain let us know in the comments did you

Guys set him free this is a keep out area he’s going oh make sure he doesn’t fall back here oh my God woo all right he’s free he’s like yes it’s all I wanted so happy oh he even got a bug right there all right oh he is so nasty we did

Our good deed for the day let us know if you guys would set him free or squish him you can’t flush him down the toilet because well they’re part of the ecosystem yeah exactly God made them for a reason but I tell you I want to ask him why

Why hi Co they got a great dog park in this place there’s so many people pulling in just to get off the road tonight this is a great little Journey okay it’s travel day h it’s already been a day it’s not even 8:00 yet we try to take Kobe and Molly real quick to the little pet Park we I run him through Thicket I don’t know he had stickers all over him had to

Cut those out of his little paws I mean they’re mops right now so Kobe just picks up everything yeah so we’re ready to go but I have a surprise I something I’m excited to share with you guys but we’re going to close up here and uh I mean

It’s kind of silly but at the same time I think it’s a timesaver but I’m excited to share with you guys excited to see how this goes so uh yeah let’s go let’s get on the road thanks Bab so our first stop is getting gas at loves maybe it’s like at a dead stop we’re not sure what’s going on maybe everybody arrived at the same time time and they’re just fueling oh we actually have action over there we got that guy there’s all these this is a tight truck

Stop it’s always like a guessing game when you don’t know what line to go in like who’s going to move first in this situation we had to choose one cuz it’s like bottlenecks back there on the entrance so I think we chose the right one Stan chose the small one chose door

One good choice babe woohoo a surprise we’re at Walmart not much of a surprise I know but Walmart is seems to be our favorite travel store right right well we got to get water we got to fill our water jug but we’re looking for pickup cuz we got to tell

Them what slot we’re in hey we’re in all these slots we’re in 5 6 7 8 9 10 and 11 oh this is going to be a problem so they’ll bring out the groceries and uh load them up and I don’t know I’m trying this this

Is going to save us hopefully like an hour stand still has to go in because he’s got to get the water um I’m going to open this and have him just throw everything in a little bit of a conundrum because we um pulled in here and there’s no way out but we we

Were able to go online order everything we got um be honest we actually ordered beer so oh I got to go get my my driver’s license so I can show you know prove that I’m over 21 hi Rhonda yes all righty to show you I’m older than older than 21 all righty

You want the eggs first yeah sir thank you very much I’ll be happy to grab them from you Woohoo got groceries he said this is you know not uncommon people do it all the time so I just feel like I discovered this you know awesome tip so just thought I’d share it with you guys St the way okay keep coming I don’t know how far going let this car go I

Guess oh they’re going through the pharmacy too okay you can keep coming back you’re pretty straight right Now do you want to come on out or you want to do the pharmacy okay you think you’ll be all right all right just going to go through the pharmacy should be fine leave it to stand he’s he can always make it happen that’s awesome all right

Now I’m going to put stuff away while he goes and gets water and checks to see if they have TI Tip woo there everything’s put away Stan is not surface just yet he’s probably uh still looking for his steak he’s a TR tip Guy and um I wanted to show you guys you might already know a lot of you guys have the 2500 RL like we have the

Imagine the beauty of this is that we can get into the fridge okay pardon how dirty it is in there and kind of how packed it is right now but um this is nice it opens you know what maybe halfway if that and uh we’re able

To get everything in there it it you saw that I can open those drawers on the bottom I can get in get everything I need and freezer full access so it’s really nice like when we stop for uh a break we can come in the back door here

Get to our fridge get what we need and we can sit here at the table we can you know eat our lunch and then if we have to go to the bathroom then we just go in the other door cuz we can’t fit through there something to think about if you

Haven’t bought a trailer yet you want to make sure if that’s important to you that you can get to the fridge like I’ll be honest we we always look at trailers we always look at fifth wheels we’re just always looking at the new floor plans and especially right now a lot of

The new 2024 floor floor plans have come out and it’s just fun but you you you want to know what it looks like shut up you know and closed up because you got to think about that if you’re traveling can you get to your bathroom is that a

Big deal to you can you get to your fridge is that a big deal to you you um for us we store our trailer in our our V garage at our house which is a blessing but we can’t open the the driver side slide now if we had something that

Opened up um on the passenger side we could probably get in get in you know to the fridge and all that so you got to think about that too where do you store your trailer how are you going to load it up when you go for your trips that

Things like that we’re heading off today to New Mexico we will not be at the Albuquerque uh Balloon Fest today or Fiesta today but we’ll be in um I have trouble saying this it’s it’s Tuka marari or something like that I have trouble saying that we’re staying in a KOA Stan’s not super

Thrilled because it’s uh supposedly like buddy sites but honestly we’re just staying for a night it looks super clean we got a paav site uh full hookups and we can leave there completely empty completely full with water because we are boondocking it at the fiesta the

Balloon Fiesta if you like this video be sure to give it a thumbs up all these things are free to do it just takes a moment for you but it tells us hey we like what you’re doing continue to go on supports us encourages us more than we

Can tell you guys and it tells YouTube hey these people yeah share it with other people let’s let’s get this information out there so like it subscribe share it look it yay I had the door locked oh yeah what you oh you found a

Trp no I bought a couple of RI eyes all right now I got to find room for it in the fridge I bought hamburgers too okay I I got room for that oh you can I can have put it in the freezer can I yeah can I

Yeah okay all right do you want to throw that in here too all right I just figured man the tri tip costs as much as a rib eyes so I might as well just get a couple of rib eyes they don’t have tri tip all right they don’t have tried tip

Out in the midwest why that’s the best Cut about a year and a half ago we came through am a really and we stayed at the Big Tex in RV resort and uh went to the big TCH and couldn’t talk sandon to try for the free steak but we did get to see that

Kid do it that was pretty cool oh we got a momentum on the side of the road um just walking dog walking the dog so we always try to see like if there’s a fellow RP out there that needs help but Stan’s always eyeballing there well

We saw a Bucky sign and they got me all excited and then I look and there’s no bies for like 200 300 miles bies I like the way you look at me are there any any on the way no so there is no bies in Texas Northern Texas nope not

Today no I mean maybe they are making one I mean like why would they put a Bucky sign and there’s not one for 300 miles they is teasing us man I would have loved to gone to bies I don’t know what it is have you guys been to bies

You’ got to try it you got to stop cheap gas affordable great smok brisket sandwiches oh talk don’t talk about it I know I’m get hungry and the Bucky nuggets oh my gosh that’ll make you sick but they are so worth it oh my goodness

You all know I’ve been on a diet lately right it’s called cereal bars oh yeah yeah well that’s what that’s what I’ve been eating it’s what his wife feeds in on the way all the it’s all good no I like it I’m good all right so

Now St needs me to find him gas and a Truck Wash is that what we’re doing yeah I mean maybe definitely not the kind of truck washers you found me the last time but I I think I’m was going to well they did it for us which

Was get that one where the nice one that everybody goes to that yellow sign yeah that yellow the blue and yellow sign when everybody comes out looking sparkly I got work to do can you find me a Starbucks I haven’t had a Starbucks this entire trip excuse me this thing doesn’t fit into

Starbucks you can pull a buck over it I need you’ve been talking this next rig is really not g to fit into Starbucks next rig what are you talking about you know what I’m talking about oh we just talk we’ll see we’ll see this trailer is is awesome

Okay it’s been across the country three times now and up one coast and down mhm yeah we are thinking we are looking um we zero in on the reflection 303 RLS we like that model that floor plan that bathroom wow um we can get to the

Bathroom you can get to that the pass through bathroom just like the uh 230 solude and they’re not making that anymore I guess right the 29 the Solitude the Solitude did I tell you that I think that’s what you told me Solitude 2930 I think when I looked up

On the website and looked at the floor plans at Grand Design that they said that dealer models only or dealer stock only like they weren’t making those anymore so confused what that means but um I thought that’s what it meant and then what else do we like oh well I

Don’t know this would be a stretch that momentum 320 are you serious well like I said it’d be a stretch but the only thing we like about that is that we’d be able to put our bikes inside cuz if we get a reflection fifth wheel we don’t know what we’re going to

Do with our bikes I mean obviously you guys travel with bikes and you have fifth wheels we could get a trailer or a uh what do you call it a bike rack and in the back we saw a guy traveling yesterday the bikes were on the roof yeah but see

We just don’t have regular bikes here honey these bikes cost as much as a motorcycle yeah yeah that that’s kind of our thought that it just it’s just going to take too much of a beating up there what I like about that 320 G I

Think it’s called is that you have a a living space sometimes the toy haulers are like your garage and your living space are all one and I’m not I’m not I’m not a fan of that I mean it works for some folks but that doesn’t work for

Us so I’d like the separate space and then um the nice couch you know to still have those be able to get to our fridge so I did see the new 320g is a little bit lighter I don’t know this truck pin we or well payload is 30

3305 and it’s supposed to be able to tow 17,000 lb a 177,000 lb fifth wheel let me know let me know guys I’d like to kind of know if I could do that with this I I don’t we don’t have a whole lot of stuff so we’re not going to be

Traveling maximum gross weight but I’m kind of kind of wanting to know what that pin weight is might be a little too close close thanks for letting us uh you know process things and thanks for listening we appreciate it and let us know tell us the reflection 303 RLS or the momentum

320g or keep what we have it’s a thought that would be the easier thing to do easier thing to do for sure there’s a lot of upgrades on this puppy yeah definitely a cheaper thing to do for sure yeah yeah but we love it so

Much and and don’t get us wrong we just love traveling there’s the standing Cadillacs yeah there they Are Oh
