Fred:
When I read your post, the first thought I had was that reality struck.  I think they didn't take enough money and didn't anticipate the types of problems that they encountered.  Too bad, but they are young and can do it again.  Safe Travels.

According to a post in a Jeep Cherokee forum...

Last I talked to them, they had sold the trailer, and gone back to reality. Good people, they had some stories, and we had a good time whilst they were here...

Too bad. Must really suck going back to reality. They're not going to take me!! Censored

VIDEO UPDATE: Here is the last of our travels in Nashville. Mainly this is just us being goofballs, checking out the zoo and the Parthenon. I tried to post the other day, but the forum was randomly down, or I just couldnt access it... not sure.  ENJOY!

VIDEO UPDATE:

 Hey Everyone, I have another video up on Youtube for your viewing pleasure. We got this one put up a few days ago, but for some reason I've had trouble accessing this forum. Anywho, this video is all about the beginning of our journey in and around the Nashville area, which so far has been one of the best places we've been!

Video Highlights: We set up our RPOD Tent Dome for the first time! We get to see Nashville!

VIDEO UPDATE:
 I know what you're saying: "Damn Wes, it's about time!" Yeah, yeah, I know... On the road it has been really hard to get the time to edit these puppies together, let alone find any kind of decent internet connection in order to upload them. All in all, to get one video on the internet, it's a good 5 hour process. 

Anyway, instead of me complaining... Here is a video of how we set up the camper. Honestly this was inspired from our Camper tour video, which is doing better than any other video we have on the web. 

Now, most of you are professionals at this process I'm sure... so don't beat me up to hard. Feel free to leave me comments about how we did though. LOL, Thanks all

Well, it's certainly been a good minute since I've posted a video. The delay had a little to do with editing troubles and a little to do with visiting family. 

But either way, here is our final update from Frankfort, KY. 1 Month of travel complete. 

With any luck I'll be posting several videos this week. Thanks for watching everyone!

VIDEO UPDATE:

 I have two videos for you guys today. The first is about the organization called WWOOF (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms). This is one way the wife and I are saving cash. It's basically a food/work trade with locations around the world.

Well thank you guys so much for telling me about the booster. Went from 4 channels to 21.

VIDEO UPDATE:
While we were in Frankfort we made our first Cross-species friend, "CAT". I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of cats, partially because I'm slightly allergic but mainly because dogs are way cooler. However, this cat was cool as ****. He was a feral cat who lived primarily off of mice... He was just kind of the guard of the farm.

Here's a little video compilation of our furry buddy.

   If you open up the cabinet above the sink on the right hand side there is a switch with a 12 volt outlet next to it. Its a little button when you push it in a little green light will shine. Being close to Nashville you should get several stations. In Tullahoma we would get about seven stations out of Huntsville Alabama which is about I guess 60 miles away,that was with our 171 when we owned it.]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2015 16:01:16 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6216&PID=62039#62039 Our Grand YEAR-LONG Adventure : Bonnaroo was great.

Bonnaroo was great. We worked as vendors while we were there and made a little cash. Had a few nights off to experience music as well.

We have picked up a few channels using the antennae here near Nashville, but nothing incredible. 4 channels, 3 of which are shopping networks. I've heard of people getting up to 30 channels in this same park... Is there a way to amplify this thing that I may not know about?]]> Fri, 19 Jun 2015 15:08:02 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6216&PID=62033#62033 Our Grand YEAR-LONG Adventure : If you go to the Tullahoma news... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6216&PID=61937#61937 Author: David and Danette

It's been a few good days since I've posted anything. The reason is because I spent the last 5 days in Manchester, TN at Bonnaroo. Hell of a good time. I did see another R-pod as we were leaving. Shout at me If you went!
