RV Life: Police pulled us over and you won't believe why

even our beers have bad days Paul got a ticket and I didn't deserve it and I have proof welcome to the channel I'm Liz and I'm Paul and these are exciting times to overcome fear, build confidence and live amazing, well, we. We are not living amazingly right now. You know, we had a bad day the other day and we wanted to make this video to share with you tips on how to get through bad days because you're going to have a bad day. If they are. It's coming whether you're a rver or you live in Sticks and Bricks, yeah, and then you know, to top it all off, that you got this ticket, yeah, well that was a camera, yeah, well, let's explain this to you because we particularly know that we live in a small space.

Like an RV you will be challenged to get through the bad days, so we have some tips if you don't know. Paul and I have been traveling for three and a half years and this is not our first bad day. and unfortunately it won't be our last bad day, in fact if you are a regular viewer you will know that we always have bananas behind us because we like bananas and they are usually fresh, but this banana represents our day quite well. That was the other day, yes, absolutely, so let's start with the fact that when we break camp and hit the road, we usually leave at nine, usually eight or eight thirty.

Yes, I think the last we leave is at 9:30. This bad day happened on a Monday, of course, and we only had 10 miles to go to our next campsite. They didn't let us in before 12:30, so we will leave our camp at noon. We had the dumpster and that would take probably 20. minutes so you know leaving at noon would get us there at 12 30 12 40 and that would have been perfect so we timed it perfectly except once we got there we could hear our hitch did not sound at this time. a relatively new PIN box placed for more travel last September we had an appointment the next day on more travel that we didn't think we were going to there is nothing related to the PIN box we were going to for anything other than We decided not to.

We wanted to last minute so we were going to cancel that date later that day and then we said okay maybe we need to make two more trips so we can see him and that brings us to the tip number. one is to be flexible, it turns out we are 330 miles away from more trips, we made reservations 110 miles up the road, we're fine, now we're not doing a 10 mile trip, we're doing a 110 mile trip and that's part of RV

life

. Do you have to be flexible? Your plans can absolutely change in the blink of an eye so now I'm driving and I missed a turn so you know if you're driving on the interstate and you miss a turn.

What's going on? You have to do it. a long U-turn, so I did a U-turn that took 20 minutes, well, 25. You're counting, there was a really gnarly accident. um they were so bad that they were using a backhoe yeah a backhoe to dig up parts of the I think it was I mean it was so trashed it was hard to tell what it was but I saw a big saddle tank so I guess semi, yeah, so this accident delayed us another 20 minutes. These kinds of things happen too and that brings We move on to the next tip to get through the bad days is to have a good attitude What did you say when I missed that turn?

That's no big deal, just take a deep breath. You know we'll make a U-turn and come back. And I think that's it. really important because it's so easy to blame the other person or get into a finger pointing thing you should have done it I should have done it yeah what were you thinking? Yeah, and that just makes it worse, so you definitely know, you have a good supportive attitude because This is already happening, you can't rewind it, this is how it is and I'll tell you what happened. We were both talking about this Yahoo in a deleted diesel van blowing coal down the highway and we just couldn't

believe

it.

You know, I'm serious, you said they should start fining people, right, we were saying there's something cops should stop people for, yeah, yeah, so we missed the exit 'cause we were distracted, yeah, That brings us to the fact that we started. Talking about our drive the next day to Moore, from Indian Lakes Campground to Moore, we realize it's over three hours closer to four. Our appointment is at 10 a.m. m., we would have to leave at 6 a.m. m. to be safe, so we decided to keep going and and we go all the way, that's right, so we turned into a 10 mile course that we thought we were going to have to go from 110 to 330 now.

Oh, and then what else could happen except Paul could get a ticket? Yeah, no problem, here's the story about the ticket. I usually drive in the slow lane when we have the truck behind us and I was in gear number 70. I was doing 63 64. I see this cop parked under an overpass with lights on, there are no other vehicles with him. He hadn't stopped anyone. He's just sitting there with the lights on. Clue number one that he's a trap. I look in my mirrors and I see cars coming to my left and they're coming fast and it's like it said speed limit 70.

I'm doing 64. Okay, this is the side of the road, the driver's side of the vehicle, this it's obvious on the back, that's the back and that's the other side that's on the sidewalk, yeah, this is facing forward, okay, we approach the officer. I've already moved as far away as I can, but I have vehicles approaching to my left, so I can't change lanes safely. There it is, so I didn't think it was safe to change lanes to get there. So I

pulled

up as far as I could to the line and just moved a couple of feet yeah a couple I moved a couple of feet and it turns out they're doing a campaign called um and of course they're after us. they turn off sirens and lights and everything they're doing a campaign in Kentucky called the move over campaign and the ticket Paul got is for not immediately handing it over to an emergency stopped vehicle is actually we Google traffic citations in It's not really a traffic citation but because you're doing this campaign, you can't pay up front, you have to go to court, you know, I mean, you know we called to see if we could pay it online, they said no, this is not payable and, oh, there are two other people in your situation, you know that are passing through Kentucky and they want to pay it too.

This is some redneck's idea of ​​a speed trap. I think let's look at the positive side. We are helping to finance their roads. I'm sure Kentucky needs money for the roads that every state needs, by the way, because of the way the roads are, but this brings us to the next tip: sometimes you can be right and you still don't win and I think that It also works in relationships. sometimes you can be right but you're still not going to win, yeah I mean we could fight this and I think we would win because we have video.

I mean, a normal vehicle doesn't have four cameras driving down the road, we all have We need the evidence that it wasn't safe for me to make a lane change, but we're not going back to Kentucky to go to court, so let's just go to say, "Hey, you know how we helped with the move from Kentucky." about the campaign and also by watching this video, I could warn everyone to move if they can, so I want to congratulate the Super Circuits. We have had these cameras for a year. We love them. We have a video on them, so we're not going to talk more about them, other than we have them 24/7 and they save the day with this, at least vindicating Paul, so now we're more prepared to have our pin chart.

I looked at it and I have to thank those who travel more because they are very attentive. I mean, they treat every customer as if their most important mission is to take care of that customer. They ordered our independent suspension. Last September, you know, we took our concerns about the bowling cage very seriously. The bowling cage is rubberized and allows it to move back and forth to cushion some of the normal bumps that occur when driving on the road. It turns out it's working just the way they designed it to work, they made us feel good because they saw that they had one of us in the driver's seat, like they ran next to it, they made us brake really hard and they watched us and they I know they really did. they inspected and you know they confirmed it's okay but since we were still hearing these strange noises they did their best to get in the truck with us and we drove around the block and we had a back window in our truck and we could see what was going on and really what was going on, we had an Anderson hitch and the Anderson hitch was lifting up a little bit from the bed of the truck and coming down and the rough noise we heard that we thought was the breakup was the rough noise from the bed liner of our truck , yes, it actually doesn't just lift in the rear when accelerating, it lifts in the front and at stops, it lifts in the rear, basically the bottom of the Anderson hitch is slightly tilted, yes it is warped .

We did a video about the Anderson hitch two years ago and people ask us: Well, are you still happy with the hitch? We are very happy with him. It weighs 35 pounds. It's easy to get in and out. It is a person who can get hooked on this hook. What we both do. What I like is that you don't have to be upright to connect or disconnect, you can press A downhill and uphill. It's very, very easy. Search in Google. I didn't find anything that said warp hitch is common. The hacker said we had it for three years, so he only took three emails from Anderson.

They said: Do you know where you got it? How long have you had it? What is your address? Those were the three questions, so we're going to spend the night. new problem and we will keep you posted because we think we don't know how it worked, no not really, we hope it's just a fluke, it's been perfect so far, everyone is going to have a bad day regardless if you're a RV or live in a house , but don't make it worse would be my advice, yes, let us know any tips we may have missed on getting through a bad day and certainly share your bad day with us.

I would love to hear it
