It took a while. I felt comfortable driving it in about 2 weeks but to be totally honest I didn’t start to completely forget we were driving it (meaning 100% comfortable) for about 6 months. When your house, office, car and motorcycle are on the line it’s a stressful ordeal, at least if you’re like me… paranoid about making mistakes that could put Kala & I in trouble. Nowadays we spend more time helping other folks learn than worrying about our own driving which is a refreshing change from when we first got started. Word of advice to anyone just starting out… probably not a good idea to start with a 45 footer. Thanks for checking in!

Hey Preston, yea definitely will share our experience filming, was tons of fun! Fun fact, if you watch the end of the show were we are drinking a glass of wine “celebrating” we are actually stuck in the mud! It had rained the night before and we took the advice of the producer to go into a campground we didn’t think was meant for a 48,000 pound rig. Needless to say we had about a 5 hour ordeal getting pulled out! Besides that we actually had a blast, the crew was great and we’ve staying in touch, great people! We’ll share more soon!

Saw the Going RV show, congrats!

Not that your not busy, but you will have to do a posting on the show taping and experience! Also more RV tech and Kala cooking episodes!
Cant wait to see you guys out there on the road!

Jim, welcome to the RV club (or soon to be!). Thats great information. We use the blue diamond gloves from the auto parts store and for the most part i would say they are tough as necessary for working with a black tank hookup/disconnect. I frequently use them on when working on the jeep and am amazed at how strong they are compared to a standard non-textured latex glove. That said, safety first, i think a good pair of re-usables is awesome, i’m just too lazy to properly wash them and would be worried they would start to grow legs and walk away!. Looking forward to seeing you on the road within a year, hopefully we’ll touch base out there!
