AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage – only slightly more violent. It’s a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on YouTube are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping – except that it doesn’t cost you anything extra! If you eventually make a purchase via one of our affiliate links, we will receive a few pennies (and Sean typically invests these pennies in duct tape and video gear). Again, it doesn’t cost you anything to click these links, and it’s a great help to us. As always, safe travels, happy camping, and THANK YOU!

  • Sean, did you ever get a soft start mod for your trailer AC? We did and so glad we did.

  • I can’t moochdock. I need at least 30amps. 15 amps would even run my inverter.

  • All my snotty friends have HOA rule banning “campers”. We need to find some friends in Alabama 😄

  • love your videos… I thought a household outlet didn't have enough amps to use an RV ac, also, any chance you can do a tutorial on hitching the weight distribution bars to your truck ? I have watched SO many, and still can't find a common method for adjusting the height of the tongue/hitch thank you

  • We need to do that soft-start device – I was wondering why it tripped our breaker right off the bat! Do you have a video on such a device?

  • Ok I'll be the one to say "He flipped burgers after adding the cheese"!!

  • Hey! I went to y'all's Amazon store, and I didn't see a link to Sean's hat! Where can I get a Raiders of the Lost RV Park hat?

  • The heck with the RV stuff, I want that YouTube burger recipe!

  • The clean out plug for my sewer connection makes a great dump station. Most homes have a clean out.

  • I can't find a way to email you but I'm debating between the champion 2500 VERSUS the Honda 2200. Do you think you could do a review

  • Subscribed about 3 years ago, you two have never let me down 🙂

  • When I cant dump my tanks, I use my rigs water tank instead of being connected to a free flowing hose. The water pump kicking on reminds me of my rigs limitations.

  • This is off topic, but can you advise a first time buyer the best places to finance a used RV and places to avoid?

  • Ya about 3 years ago we stated at my son's house, it was meant to be one night maybe 2 but ended up being 2 weeks because I ended up in the Hospital for 3 nights and then had some recover time but we did spend it in the RV not their house but we were still there. Great time with the grandkids though.

  • Getting ready to retire and finally will have time to unplug and RV without a set schedule. That said, looking at Airstream trailers. Suggestions what to look for 30’ models include the Classic, Globetrotter and International. Thoughts I. How to approach?? I was even considering a used rig. Lots of options and not sure where to start.

  • Great video! We moochdock in my parent's driveway one month every year, and we love it. It's a great way to spend time with family while still having your own space at night.

  • Haven't had the pleasure yet. Guess I better get some friends, at least some "Real Friends" instead of all my "Invisible ones" as our Son keeps teasing me about. Oh there's nothing like being a Ham Radio Operator! 73 & LoLoHo! Harry, K9HDT.

  • The clips of the funny movie : The Long , Long trailer made me snicker . That movie was hysterical !! Your friends dog is a real cutie pie . What breed is he or she ? I heard you say plug it up instead of saying plug it in . Is saying plug it up a southern saying ? I had a friend who was from Alabama & also lived in Georgia many years before moving in to the building I live in here on Florida's west coast . She use to say plug it up instead of saying plug it in

  • Hello from Calgary, Alberta. Just bought our Bullet this month and are so excited and nervous about camping. Thank you for your great videos. I've watched alot of them already, still more to see.

  • There’s a joke about gnats and a traffic stop. If you haven’t heard it, you’ll just have to take my word for it. NSFYT. Cue laugh track,,,,

  • I have been binging on older videos I have noticed Kristy remains unchanged and Sean now looks like Kristys dad.

  • awesome video 🙂 im curious, the still photo's yall took, what device /filter did you use?

  • Saw the "cover photo" for the video and wondered if Baby Girl grew a bunch of hair, or if you're being unfaithful to her? I'm wondering if a good reheasal for moochdocking would be to do it at home?

  • Hey guys. I hop you're doing well. Man! I need to get myself an RV. I also need to find someone from my area who also likes RVing. 🙂

  • Where is Little Girl? That Traeger looks like it really does a good job. Thanks for the tips

  • When running off of a 20 amp household circuit. make sure to use a heavy gauge extension cord if the 30A camper cable is not long enough and you plan to try to run your camper's AC. If they were really good friends they would put a 30 amp circuit in for you!!

  • We’ve been trying to get out but California is still partially closed down. We bought a new class B – Travato – three weeks before the lockdown. We had three nights of shakedown trips and that’s it. Itching to get out. Thought we’d go up to Mendocino County (we are just east of SF in Walnut Creek) and moochdock on my husband‘s daughter’s farm – they have power on the other side of the creek from where the main house is. Sweet. But not sweet is 107° on Friday.

    Something people can do to set up a signal to you let each other know when they’re up is to open the blinds or curtains.

  • We will be heading out in mid July and "Moochdocking" is always in play. Mother-in-law in Northern Idaho and Sister-in law in western Oregon, neither of them is anywhere near as glamorous as the driveway you're in. I agree with you about being careful when doing this with friends, don't overstay. Sometimes friends will invite you but they really don't want you to take them up on it. With family they don't have any choice, they're stuck with us…

  • Another great video. Wife and I take a lot of inspiration from your vlogs when creating our own.

  • It's a good day when I'm treated to Sean Spit Take. It was an old one, but a classic!!

  • Good vid…looks like Florida. Enjoy the Covid Break. bill in Florida

  • Great show. I never thought of being a guest but not being intrusive. Good to know.

  • Good tips one and all guys! I do have a question though. Have you done a video on the soft start device you mentioned? I'd definitely like to check into one of those for our RV. Thanks and keep up the terrific videos!

  • Yeah , I call it " yamping " .. I do it in my driveway when I don't wanna head out anywhere😉😉 ..

  • April we made all kinds of reservations at talledega for the race weekend. We bought a brand new camper the whole nine yards. Here I am on my back porch getting ready to watch that race on my back porch. Thanks covid

  • This reminds me of camping out in the backyard as a training exercise. Perhaps driveway camping is a good way to start out. BTW this looks like Fla somewhere Gulf Coast. Very expensive lot.
