Two Tired Teachers
Добавлен 20 мар 2017
We are sisters with a combined total of 60+ years of teaching experience, and we are tired. One of the best ways we've found to let go of the stress of dealing with teenagers is to take out the RV. This channel will share some of our experiences and things we learned through trial and error.

Resealing RV Door with Stop Leak
Resealing RV Door with Stop Leak
Today, Sharon is going to be reskinning the door, part II. After 2 years ago, Sharon worked on the door by cutting contact paper to the right size, and stuck it to the door. That lasted about a year and a half, but where
h the cracks in the door sealant were, the contact paper began to pull away from the door. More air got behind the contact paper, and it continued to pull away from the door. That's why we needed another solution.
The proper way to skin a door is to take the door down, go into your workshop. Buy something like a shower wall and use a table saw or jig saw to cut a lining for the door. Use some industrial strength adhesive and clamps and clamp...

RV Solar 1 Year Review

RV Solar 1 Year Review Just over a year and a half ago RVs Off Grid installed our 8 solar panels on top of our Micro Minnie and 800 amp hours of lithium batteries. We want to tell you how it's working. We took a six week long trip to Madison, Wisconsin and beyond. It was our first lengthy trip using the solar set up. We had no hookups for the entire trip, and we had a lot of rain. We also took ...

Why We Dispersed Camp If you've watched our channel for some time, you know that we started doing some dry camping in 2019. We've had some viewers question why we would do that.

Once we were on pavement, we were 2 miles from the southern entrance to Yellowstone...

When we were in Yellowstone, our maximum legal speed was ...
Why Does God Allow Pain?
Просмотров 425Месяц назад
Why does God Allow Pain? People often wonder why God allows bad stuff to happen to us. They wonder why this life hurts so much. It may not be true for everyone, but for me, it took a whole lot of pain for God to get my attention. I became a Christian when I was eight. When I got to be 19 or 20, a full fledged adult who knew a lot, I fell away, and I fell hard. There was a lot of sin in my life....

RV Camping: NO Reservation Required Disclaimer: If you have to be at a specific place during a specific time, you are probably better off making reservations. First, this video deals with dry camping. One of the reasons we choose to dry camp is because it is often free. A bonus is that we often have huge gorgeous campsites. It also gives us more freedom in our travels. When we were at the East ...

Mammoth Site, Hot Springs, South Dakota The Mammoth Site is in Hot Springs, South Dakota. It is an ongoing archaeological digs. It is a world renown site. In 1974 before anything special was known about the site, a landowner decided he would bulldoze the hill and build a housing community. As the bulldozer made a pass on the land, it was stopped because someone noticed bones, and maybe tusks. T...
Remembering Rushmore

Remembering Rushmore In 2011, I hadn't been on a vacation in a very long time. Sharon told me I really needed to get away. I asked what vacation spot was her favorite, and she said without a pause, "Mount Rushmore." Okay, I didn't get it. A mountain in South Dakota? But, okay. We packed out bags, got on a flight, rented a car, and drove to Mount Rushmore. There is a place on the drive where you...

There are no towns of any size anywhere near the Juniper Campgro...

Theodore Roosevelt National Park North Unit In many ways, the north unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park is different from the south unit. The north unit does have a scenic drive. You drive 14 miles and then turn around and drive the 14 miles back. You will see many of the North Dakota badlands. In that drive, you can walk up a short trail and see a CCC building. A bonus for Theodore Roosev...

Community In this inspiration, Sharon compares Christians to a bison herd of cows and calves. Sharon begins by telling us that this is the Yellowstone and beyond trip. She is videoing from Theodore Roosevelt National Park. She explains that we've seen a lot of bison during this trip. The cows and calves pretty much stick together in a herd. Those cows recognize that there is safety in being tog...

Great little campground. I've stayed there many times. There used to be another one called Teal Pond that's just right around the corner but the U.S.Forest Service closed it. You can still go back there but it's completely grown over.
Good morning. Got a question about leaving your camper at a dispersed site while you go exploring. Have you ever had any problems with vandalism?
@@kevinkeeney3411 We have never had any problems when we left our trailer while we were out and about. Great question.
Great tip on the Coleman stadium seat. I was trying to figure out how to get higher back support
@@mtheory3 Hope it helps you, too.
❤ So fun & cute!! Great Job!!
I dry camp all the time. I actually love it more than being in the camp grounds. You learn conservation quickly.
thank for posting
Good job. I guess have haven’t had an RV long enough for the door to start doing that. Thanks for the info!
💕🙏🏻 Oh boy, did I need to hear this today!
@@ly2sing We're so glad we could provide it.
I wonder if other makers build these units of the same BTU output that does not need draining. I know some of the larger BTU output portables have the no need to drain feature.
@@myvenusheeler If you live in a low humidity area, that might work really well for you. We don't know anything about the portables without the drain feature.
Great! Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
@@dreamlookautodetailingauto3353 You are most welcome.
wow how did you find this. I am 3 hours away and I get so confused in the nfs I usually go back to the state camps which are not me...too busy and I am looking for less people
@@naturelover1284 At that point we used Campendium look up where to find National Forest Campground. Now we use IOverlander to find spots.
In the fuse box of your vehicle there should be an outlet which switches off when you turn the engine off. If you feed that into your DC to DC converter you won't have to worry about draining your vehicle battery. Care should be used not to let too much current through the DC DC converter as you may "melt the wires". I've been doing this with the lithium batteries in my four-wheel camper for years and basically don't have to worry about the solar panels at all.
@@vonrollveeg Glad you are pleased with what you have. We're very pleased with what we have.
Agreed. Saul chased David for many years, trying to kill him, he dealt with this temptation also. No one is exempt. The enemy knows how to provoke, and intimidate to the point of anger and unforgiveness-it's an ongoing battle, to admit it to the Lord, and forgive.
@@nigthwtachman-lacIt's easy to think Biblical heros of the faith weren't tempted, yet we know they were.
Truly enjoy your videos- keep ‘em coming! What was cost of this upgrade?
@@harryprice5062 Glad you enjoy our videos, and as long as it's still fun, we plan to keep them coming. The solar install was roughly $7,500 by the time we added the extra battery and the external panels.
Thank you for updating!
@@garyb4929 Certainly. We like sharing things when we're pleased with our purchases or when we think we didn't get what we'd planned on, we want to let you know
I'm really surprised they didn't give you a DC-DC charger that would automatically know if the tow vehicle is running or not. The Renogy one (and others, I'm sure) have an extra wire that watches for a signal to know whether or not to draw from the tow battery but the Victron, that I went with, automatically watches the voltage coming in from the battery and when it goes above a certain charge that is an indication that the alternator is running and it automatically knows that the tow vehicle's engine is running. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
@@KirbyVandivort That was an add-on that they don't usually do.
Thank you! Very interesting!!
@@davidjeffries47 Thank you for watching.
You two ladies are amazing! I’ve been thinking about going solar, but haven’t sat down and taking the time to do research. Thank you for your input!
@@SheltiesRule49First, thank you for saying we're amazing. We're just like to share when we get things that work beautifully for us. If you decide to do it, the people who sell it should be able to tell you exactly how many panels you should get and the size of the lithium battery. We went with two of the batteries because we have some portable panels to supplement the solar on our roof.
Thanks for doing reviews of things a year or years later.
@@grit5133 We want you to know if we have buyer's remorse a year or more after we buy something.
I am watching you drive to soldotna
@@just_grimmyboi If you ever see us stopped somewhere, please come meet us. We love meeting viewers.
Thank you!
@@davidjeffries47 You are most welcome.
Great video! I was thinking I would have to replace my water pump until I saw this. Easy solution that worked! Thanks so much!
@@collinasmus We're thrilled it was an easy fix for you.
I just passed you on the highway in Eagle River
@@thetrudean0796 Very cool. If we're ever stopped at the same place, we would love to meet you.
Yes, how can I walk in God’s power and Love if I’m holding onto lower things of my flesh and letting those dominate me instead of Him
@@WhereToLillian That is sometimes a hard lesson to learn.
Hearing Faith cant transfer by vanity to another. Platitude faith in other guys work.
God definitely uses you to help put things in focus! Amen and God bless you.
@@danielp.621 Thank you.
Always impressed by y’alls ability to dry camp. I would be interested in your dry camping setup to be comfortable. I always envision dry camping being an in between sort of situation, so that you eventually get to go to a full hookup and catch up bathing, water, sewer, etc. I would be interested to see how you all do it.
@@luisreviews6412 Because of the solar setup we have now, we honestly don't need hookups. We take quick showers, and we carry 8 one gallon water jugs to supplement our fresh water tank. Last year we were gone for six weeks and never had hookups. When we are in a state or national park, we will use their dump stations and fresh water. We also look on I Overlander and Compendium to find free dumps and water.
It’s nice to see you girls still enjoy your trailer! We’ve been watching for a long time and it’s been a great “journey” with you! We now have our own Winnebago (Travato) and really are enjoying our travel. Thanks for all the great videos and the info you share! 😁🤙⛺️
@@discoveringlockenest8420 You just made our day. Thank you so much for your kind words.
Worrying about something? When God said put your cares on him?
Woowee!!! Good stuff, sister!!!
@@lisafranklin2173 Thank you!
God is not a slot machine or a genie. Neither is He an accuser. We must be careful not to be an accuser of others or of self. Life is just hard because we are not God and it’s not anyone’s fault. Even ourselves. Forgiveness of self first and of others second (if they ask). Vengeance is the lords. Bitterness is ok and even fruitful. Bitterness is not the same as vengeance.
Amen, A very good lesson!
@@garyb4929 Thank you for the comment.
Well said!
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on 5 years and a big thank you for being so generous with all the tips and tricks. Can’t tell you how much your insights have helped with our Micro Minnie. Keep living your best life ladies.
@@nancykeeneysmith604 The reason we started the channel when we'd only been RVing for two and a half years is because we thought we might be able to help people. Thanks for telling us that we've given you some useful tips.
A very thought provoking question. Thank you for taking the time, making the effort to ask it. There's much truth to ponder. God Bless. God speed in your journey.
We do so appreciate your comment.
Just what I needed to hear today, Thank you !!
@@brianbaird8809 Thank you so much for watching.
Amen! Amen! I am guilty of this too many times than I want to admit. Thank you for sharing the reminder from the LORD!!❤️❤️❤️
@@juliespencer2588 I think we're all guilty of these things.
Sometimes the truth is hard to hear. This one felt like the one I needed to hear today. We can always come up with narratives to substantiate the unforgiveness we sometimes carry when in reality, we need to just let it go. Bitterness has ugly roots. Forgiveness is the key. Thank you for this post today.
@@Herk988 Thanks for watching. Also, thanks for the comment. I think a lot of us let bitterness take root.
Great message
@@carltuckerson7718 Thank you.
Yes, Ai. great true stories all young people should learn very early in life.
Interesting.
Good video!!
@@nighthiker8872 Thank you.
@@lostthepart Thank you.
@@lostthepart Thank you
How has it held up over the years? 😊
@@flintcarlton It's holding up very nicely. No problems.
Can you give an update (now, two years later) of how it is holding up?
@@bondebond It's holding up great. We would do it again in a heartbeat.
How does the new paint job seem to be holding up?
@@carltuckerson7718 It's holding up great! We love driving it. If people see it, they tend to remember it.
Safe travels
@@alastairmcdougall1566 Thanks.
We love watching your videos! Thanks for the review!
@@mariaperham1851 Thank you so much!
I'm wondering if you have ever taken the trailer through a weigh scale, to check if you are over weight with all the add ons.
@@rvhtravels We weighed it several years ago, and we are traveling with the same basic stuff now as we were then. The solar and batteries are new since we weighed it, so it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to weigh it again. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for your updated review. I have been enjoying watching your modifications & following your adventures in it. Back in 2018 I almost got a different version of this model but went a different route. So it’s been fun 🤩 see what you’re up to in it. I was even able to show a friend how you put the big dog crate under the bed as a solution. Safe travels.
@@karinhart489 We know you've been watching the videos for a while because you are so kind to comment frequently. We do appreciate that. The cat perch with a scratching post beneath it has saved the furniture.
Nice video. I started watching your channel a few years ago because we bought a micro mini also. We just traded it in and bought a short 5th wheel. We love our new camper BUT ! I do miss our mini. It was well constructed very easy to trave with & didn't need a powerful truck to hall it. Thank you for all your videos. I hope your mini last another 5 years. I hope someday you meet you two. Safe travels and God bless.
@@danielp.621 Since we painted the mini, we will be easy to spot. If you ever see us, please come talk with us. We love meeting our viewers.
Glad you're happy with it. You made it yours. Mine's a 2016 about the same size as yours (Heartland Linx 18LX) and due tires and an awning. Just replaced my water pump. Had trouble with the toilet and water heater a few times. Great layout and a rear bath that takes the whole back of the camper with plenty of storage.
@@bertkelly7650 Bert, we just replaced the tires, but the time is coming for us to replace the awning. We can commiserate with you when that time comes.
Two things. The factory runs these so just fill with oil and run it. 2nd, do not run a generator for any period of time without a load. You are not breaking in an engine without a load on it and if you are going to let it just run you need to put some kind of load from the start.
@@jdskycaster3576 Thanks for the tip.
