[0:00] so today is all about dealing with the

[0:02] RV Bailey's at the hotel I am just

[0:05] leaving the RV now put the slide in and

[0:09] just going to wait for the tech he'll be

[0:11] here at

[0:11] 3: uh I'm going to check on a couple

[0:14] places that I passed a couple of times

[0:16] there's a a propane place and a tire

[0:20] place right next to each other going to

[0:22] find out if they can fill propane and if

[0:24] they could balance my tires um and

[0:28] what's that other thing that you do them

[0:30] um alignment so I'm going to check on

[0:33] that and then I have to go to Walmart

[0:35] and pick up a couple of things to do

[0:36] some cleaning in there and I'm going to

[0:38] get some crates that I can put stuff in

[0:42] in my shower and I think that will

[0:44] finally get everything off the floors or

[0:47] you know just randomly placed

[0:49] and I just so I am struggling like this

[0:52] is really hard for me

[0:54] I'm I don't know if I'm getting

[0:56] depressed or discouraged I don't know

[1:00] it's I'm not happy right now and I just

[1:04] need to keep pushing forward

[1:06] until it gets easier or better or

[1:10] something I'm really looking forward to

[1:12] meeting this Tech

[1:14] he can hopefully help me with a bunch of

[1:16] the problems that I have and then

[1:18] hopefully hopefully it gets easier I

[1:21] really hope so's litter box is like

[1:23] making a huge mess so I'm have to clean

[1:25] that today his litter box is you know at

[1:27] the hotel right now but man and it

[1:30] smelled way worse than I realized so I'm

[1:32] thinking I have to probably use very

[1:34] little litter and like change that every

[1:37] day or something and I just have to

[1:40] figure out a way to kind of keep the

[1:42] carpet area clean you know and um I

[1:46] don't know I'm going to do my best with

[1:48] that and um I need to sanitize the tanks

[1:51] they've smelled since the day I got them

[1:53] I putting that off because I don't

[1:55] exactly know how to do it like I know

[1:57] kind of know how to do it but I you have

[1:58] to keep the bleach in there a long time

[2:00] I don't know if that's going to make it

[2:02] so we can't be in there you know cuz

[2:04] we're living in there so I don't know

[2:08] that's what I'm getting at Walmart was

[2:09] some crates I think I mentioned the

[2:11] crates that's basically it I'm I'm at a

[2:16] I'm at a point where I don't really have

[2:18] to spend a lot of money to live this

[2:20] lifestyle I've already done all of that

[2:22] except for these repairs right and then

[2:25] it's just regular life stuff and

[2:31] I mean I'm I'm hopeful that I will work

[2:34] all of this out like this

[2:36] is I don't know I just it just feels so

[2:43] hard you watch the other YouTubers and

[2:46] it's like they just got it all figured

[2:48] out no problems Easy Life lovely

[2:53] life I wasn't watching any of that when

[2:55] I made this decision so you know but

[2:58] it's just like I know know I'm not the

[3:00] only one there's no

[3:03] way it's been almost 3 months so I think

[3:06] today is day 75 I don't know have to

[3:08] check and that is since moving out of my

[3:12] house I had the camper for a month

[3:13] before

[3:15] that it feels like it should be easier

[3:17] by now oh so I didn't go to the dentist

[3:20] today my appointment was at the same

[3:22] time that the tech could come so I had

[3:24] to prioritize this I mean I consider it

[3:27] a fire hazard I mean it's in

[3:28] uninhabitable right right now so got to

[3:31] deal with

[3:32] that guys there's a beautiful I mean

[3:36] beautiful Willie a dish Jeep sitting

[3:39] right next to mine I just parked next to

[3:41] it I got to get this guy one of my

[3:43] little ducks how about this guy right

[3:47] here that is a beautiful Jeep absolutely

[3:51] beautiful and it's a Willies I got to

[3:53] give him a little duck hope he sees it

[3:57] hope he sees it there should say he or

[3:59] or she because there's a woman in there

[4:01] I have a nagging suspicion that's her

[4:03] Jeep just so beautiful don't they look

[4:05] nice together so the lp Place can't put

[4:08] propane in my RV they suggested a place

[4:11] um I'll have to find it it's in a

[4:12] different city and the tire place they

[4:15] can balance my tires but they can't do

[4:18] the alignment they suggested somebody

[4:20] else for that I didn't think to ask

[4:23] which I should do first like do you

[4:25] should you get an alignment first

[4:27] because that will affect the balancing

[4:29] or not I don't actually know so well

[4:32] I'll ask CH gbt that one but yeah so a

[4:35] lot of little places I'm going to have

[4:36] to stop at some point to do these little

[4:39] things I'm on the way to the store now

[4:41] it's so fun that was my first ducking I

[4:42] hadn't done that before I've received

[4:44] them I have one on my Dash but I have

[4:46] never been able to give someone one

[4:48] they'll definitely see it that is such a

[4:51] beautiful Jeep I just love that color

[4:53] and they you know they modded it out so

[4:56] they'll know what it is they'll

[4:57] appreciate it when ever I see an RV I

[5:01] want to wave to it like I do Jeeps tell

[5:03] me why that's not a thing because it

[5:05] really should be I'm going to be honest

[5:08] I just want to give up

[5:09] today I am just it just feels

[5:14] impossible I'm just Everything feels

[5:18] impossible but it's not you know I'm

[5:20] going to keep going I'm going to keep

[5:21] putting one foot in front of the other

[5:23] I'm going to do one thing and then the

[5:24] next thing and hopefully it gets

[5:27] easier I think it's important to share

[5:30] that

[5:31] because this is not easy and sometimes

[5:34] it might even feel

[5:37] impossible just take a breath keep going

[5:40] day 84 in here right now the slide is in

[5:44] it's been like this all day just got the

[5:46] windows open I got these fans going I

[5:48] hope my batteries don't run out I have

[5:50] no idea how much power they

[5:52] have so I'm just trying to um the mobile

[5:56] tech will be here in an hour I've been

[5:58] trying to get as organized in here as I

[6:01] can I mean I can't believe I haven't

[6:03] already it's been 3 months but it just

[6:06] feels every time you get organized

[6:08] something else like messes it up and you

[6:12] it's like you have to start over like it

[6:13] just because the space is so small like

[6:16] you

[6:17] just it's challenging I'm trying I do

[6:21] think those books have to go because

[6:23] there's no room for them I got this at

[6:26] Walmart the other day this was one of

[6:27] the ideas I had about ways to keep you

[6:29] know storage space and that's helping

[6:32] need to push that back and then the

[6:34] books have to go I mean if you had a a

[6:37] bigger space maybe you could have books

[6:39] and the space this small no books just

[6:43] can't I really hate sounding negative I

[6:46] truly do it's

[6:49] not it's not the state of mind I want to

[6:51] be in so it

[6:53] just I got these three fants just

[6:56] blowing on

[6:57] me it's not too bad

[7:01] bad I

[7:02] just truly hope that this electrical

[7:05] issue can be solved

[7:07] today I have a feeling that it's just

[7:09] going to be some kind of temporary fix

[7:11] that maybe I can get away with it for a

[7:13] while and hopefully the mobile tech

[7:15] comes back and fixes it

[7:17] permanently and I have all the other

[7:19] issues to deal with and

[7:22] just feeling

[7:27] overwhelmed just I'm feel feeling

[7:29] overwhelmed I I wish I wasn't I wish

[7:33] this were easier for

[7:34] me well I guess anything worth doing you

[7:37] know whatever that thing is kind of

[7:42] applies like to get back to Bailey he

[7:44] been by himself for like 5 hours now

[7:49] almost we have the room for one more

[7:51] night I have a feeling I mean we'll

[7:54] probably stay there and then I'm I'm

[7:56] just hoping that the electrical issues

[7:58] fixed today

[8:01] and we can come back in the morning I

[8:02] can get a level bring the slide out and

[8:05] just you know keep

[8:15] going I really want this to work I

[8:18] really do and I know me I know part of

[8:21] the problem it's being on this campgr

[8:23] for so long I've been here a month now I

[8:25] I don't want to be here like I genuinely

[8:28] don't want to be here there's people

[8:29] everywhere probably because um you know

[8:32] holidays coming up so it's and it's

[8:34] summer it's just probably that time of

[8:36] year when things start to feel cramped

[8:39] and I

[8:40] just this is not a pretty place to be

[8:43] you know it's just

[8:47] not it's hot and humid and just you know

[8:50] just all of it's getting to

[8:52] me I just want to be somewhere

[8:55] else I get in my Jeep I start driving

[8:58] and I'm so freaking happy every time I

[9:00] get in that

[9:02] thing I almost wish I could live that

[9:04] way you

[9:06] know I will never abandon Bailey I got a

[9:09] camper because I had cats today Oliver

[9:13] song came on which made me very sad and

[9:16] I couldn't listen to it which just kind

[9:17] of made me

[9:18] angry it's just been a very emotional

[9:21] day I guess a couple of days but it will

[9:24] pass you know before you know what your

[9:28] life is over you and you've done what

[9:31] you've done

[9:32] so I just have to keep trying I mean

[9:35] this is how my life ends I know it is so

[9:38] I want to make it the best life I can I

[9:40] don't know how long I'm not saying

[9:42] anything that's there's nothing implied

[9:43] by that it's just I think this is how my

[9:46] life ends I I think it ends in this

[9:48] camper maybe I'm lucky and I live a long

[9:51] time and I can buy some land and all of

[9:53] that but I don't know I smoked for 30

[9:57] years you know I

[9:59] I don't know that I have that long I

[10:01] truly don't know

[10:03] so just want to make the best of it I

[10:05] want these days to matter and sitting

[10:08] still doing nothing that doesn't matter

[10:11] it's

[10:12] just it's not good enough I I can't

[10:15] accept that well this man was awesome he

[10:18] fixed my my plug my stabilizer and my

[10:25] stepladder my stabilizer hasn't worked

[10:27] since the day I left my stepladder

[10:29] hasn't worked since the first place I

[10:31] went

[10:32] to he did it all in an hour

[10:35] amazing I tell you about him but he's U

[10:38] moving so to Arizona in two weeks I

[10:42] don't know what he's you know he's got a

[10:44] business I don't know I I'm assume he's

[10:46] taking his business with him but

[10:49] um he's leaving

[10:51] now wow I'm really happy now and I have

[10:57] to go get bailing

[10:59] all right but he's missing

[11:02] me should get us level first though we

[11:05] are still not level he says there is

[11:06] nothing wrong with the slide out um the

[11:09] noise I'm hearing is the squeegee things

[11:13] and I'm guessing he didn't say this but

[11:16] I'm guessing they probably need greasing

[11:19] cuz I didn't used to hear them so if

[11:22] that's all it is I just need to grease

[11:24] them and there shouldn't be a problem

[11:27] anymore yeah I need to get his level

[11:29] before I go and get Bailey but then I'll

[11:32] go get him and we'll probably just come

[11:33] back here tonight a new problem these

[11:36] are brand new

[11:40] tires how are they going to explain

[11:47] that definitely going to go talk to

[11:50] them just bought these it's less

[11:53] pronounced but you can see it bubbling

[11:55] on this side

[11:57] too um this is the p passenger side

[12:01] driver side is way worse probably not

[12:03] from this angle but I can see

[12:06] it okay we're level on this side check

[12:09] the

[12:10] other well it shouldn't be level right

[12:12] now because I have to bring the side

[12:14] out that looks about right to me it

[12:16] should be about Center when I bring that

[12:18] in I mean when I bring that out right

[12:21] now moment of truth if we are

[12:25] level can finally get that level mate

[12:28] Pro thing going it's so hot out today

[12:31] I'm not used to this slide or this it

[12:33] just hit

[12:34] me oh I don't have the set one is my

[12:38] face not at one

[12:40] too anyways let's go check

[12:43] this your bounce in the

[12:48] side oh my God that is freaking close

[12:53] wow thank

[12:54] [Music]

[12:56] God yes

[12:59] I can

[13:00] finally get that level mate Pro

[13:02] installed we're

[13:04] level now I'm going to have to drive

[13:06] this to the tire plat to make them do

[13:08] something about those tires still have

[13:10] to get them balanced I have to get

[13:12] the I don't know why the work keeps

[13:15] slipping my

[13:16] mind you know so go

[13:20] straight alignment I think it's

[13:22] alignment is that

[13:23] right

[13:26] and I think those are the major issues

[13:30] now pretty much

[13:33] so my stabilizers work that's

[13:37] amazing that's I'm not works to day I

[13:40] left and oops this should help with the

[13:45] afternoon sun up there

[13:48] somewhere there it is Bright Power this

[13:53] say my surge protector is okay I mean

[13:55] it's burnt you can see that it's burnt

[13:57] you can't see it now obviously but it's

[13:59] burnt and a spot he says it's fine he

[14:00] put

[14:01] dialectric um something on it dialectric

[14:05] grease I'm going to get some of that do

[14:09] that myself from now on do all the

[14:13] maintenance is definitely hot I've been

[14:15] out here all

[14:17] day it's been like 85 in here I think I

[14:20] said that already in a video a clip that

[14:22] I'm going to post with this takes 2

[14:25] minutes for that surge protector to turn

[14:27] on and we'll get some air going in here

[14:31] turn on some lights make the bed go get

[14:36] Bailey turned out to be a pretty good

[14:38] day after

[14:44] like I mean I knew I even said it like I

[14:47] knew you know just do the things keep

[14:50] doing the

[14:53] things some days will be

[18:12] I hope you guys have a wonderful day

[0:00] so today is all about dealing with the

[0:02] RV Bailey's at the hotel I am just

[0:05] leaving the RV now put the slide in and

[0:09] just going to wait for the tech he'll be

[0:11] here at

[0:11] 3: uh I'm going to check on a couple

[0:14] places that I passed a couple of times

[0:16] there's a a propane place and a tire

[0:20] place right next to each other going to

[0:22] find out if they can fill propane and if

[0:24] they could balance my tires um and

[0:28] what's that other thing that you do them

[0:30] um alignment so I'm going to check on

[0:33] that and then I have to go to Walmart

[0:35] and pick up a couple of things to do

[0:36] some cleaning in there and I'm going to

[0:38] get some crates that I can put stuff in

[0:42] in my shower and I think that will

[0:44] finally get everything off the floors or

[0:47] you know just randomly placed

[0:49] and I just so I am struggling like this

[0:52] is really hard for me

[0:54] I'm I don't know if I'm getting

[0:56] depressed or discouraged I don't know

[1:00] it's I'm not happy right now and I just

[1:04] need to keep pushing forward

[1:06] until it gets easier or better or

[1:10] something I'm really looking forward to

[1:12] meeting this Tech

[1:14] he can hopefully help me with a bunch of

[1:16] the problems that I have and then

[1:18] hopefully hopefully it gets easier I

[1:21] really hope so's litter box is like

[1:23] making a huge mess so I'm have to clean

[1:25] that today his litter box is you know at

[1:27] the hotel right now but man and it

[1:30] smelled way worse than I realized so I'm

[1:32] thinking I have to probably use very

[1:34] little litter and like change that every

[1:37] day or something and I just have to

[1:40] figure out a way to kind of keep the

[1:42] carpet area clean you know and um I

[1:46] don't know I'm going to do my best with

[1:48] that and um I need to sanitize the tanks

[1:51] they've smelled since the day I got them

[1:53] I putting that off because I don't

[1:55] exactly know how to do it like I know

[1:57] kind of know how to do it but I you have

[1:58] to keep the bleach in there a long time

[2:00] I don't know if that's going to make it

[2:02] so we can't be in there you know cuz

[2:04] we're living in there so I don't know

[2:08] that's what I'm getting at Walmart was

[2:09] some crates I think I mentioned the

[2:11] crates that's basically it I'm I'm at a

[2:16] I'm at a point where I don't really have

[2:18] to spend a lot of money to live this

[2:20] lifestyle I've already done all of that

[2:22] except for these repairs right and then

[2:25] it's just regular life stuff and

[2:31] I mean I'm I'm hopeful that I will work

[2:34] all of this out like this

[2:36] is I don't know I just it just feels so

[2:43] hard you watch the other YouTubers and

[2:46] it's like they just got it all figured

[2:48] out no problems Easy Life lovely

[2:53] life I wasn't watching any of that when

[2:55] I made this decision so you know but

[2:58] it's just like I know know I'm not the

[3:00] only one there's no

[3:03] way it's been almost 3 months so I think

[3:06] today is day 75 I don't know have to

[3:08] check and that is since moving out of my

[3:12] house I had the camper for a month

[3:13] before

[3:15] that it feels like it should be easier

[3:17] by now oh so I didn't go to the dentist

[3:20] today my appointment was at the same

[3:22] time that the tech could come so I had

[3:24] to prioritize this I mean I consider it

[3:27] a fire hazard I mean it's in

[3:28] uninhabitable right right now so got to

[3:31] deal with

[3:32] that guys there's a beautiful I mean

[3:36] beautiful Willie a dish Jeep sitting

[3:39] right next to mine I just parked next to

[3:41] it I got to get this guy one of my

[3:43] little ducks how about this guy right

[3:47] here that is a beautiful Jeep absolutely

[3:51] beautiful and it's a Willies I got to

[3:53] give him a little duck hope he sees it

[3:57] hope he sees it there should say he or

[3:59] or she because there's a woman in there

[4:01] I have a nagging suspicion that's her

[4:03] Jeep just so beautiful don't they look

[4:05] nice together so the lp Place can't put

[4:08] propane in my RV they suggested a place

[4:11] um I'll have to find it it's in a

[4:12] different city and the tire place they

[4:15] can balance my tires but they can't do

[4:18] the alignment they suggested somebody

[4:20] else for that I didn't think to ask

[4:23] which I should do first like do you

[4:25] should you get an alignment first

[4:27] because that will affect the balancing

[4:29] or not I don't actually know so well

[4:32] I'll ask CH gbt that one but yeah so a

[4:35] lot of little places I'm going to have

[4:36] to stop at some point to do these little

[4:39] things I'm on the way to the store now

[4:41] it's so fun that was my first ducking I

[4:42] hadn't done that before I've received

[4:44] them I have one on my Dash but I have

[4:46] never been able to give someone one

[4:48] they'll definitely see it that is such a

[4:51] beautiful Jeep I just love that color

[4:53] and they you know they modded it out so

[4:56] they'll know what it is they'll

[4:57] appreciate it when ever I see an RV I

[5:01] want to wave to it like I do Jeeps tell

[5:03] me why that's not a thing because it

[5:05] really should be I'm going to be honest

[5:08] I just want to give up

[5:09] today I am just it just feels

[5:14] impossible I'm just Everything feels

[5:18] impossible but it's not you know I'm

[5:20] going to keep going I'm going to keep

[5:21] putting one foot in front of the other

[5:23] I'm going to do one thing and then the

[5:24] next thing and hopefully it gets

[5:27] easier I think it's important to share

[5:30] that

[5:31] because this is not easy and sometimes

[5:34] it might even feel

[5:37] impossible just take a breath keep going

[5:40] day 84 in here right now the slide is in

[5:44] it's been like this all day just got the

[5:46] windows open I got these fans going I

[5:48] hope my batteries don't run out I have

[5:50] no idea how much power they

[5:52] have so I'm just trying to um the mobile

[5:56] tech will be here in an hour I've been

[5:58] trying to get as organized in here as I

[6:01] can I mean I can't believe I haven't

[6:03] already it's been 3 months but it just

[6:06] feels every time you get organized

[6:08] something else like messes it up and you

[6:12] it's like you have to start over like it

[6:13] just because the space is so small like

[6:16] you

[6:17] just it's challenging I'm trying I do

[6:21] think those books have to go because

[6:23] there's no room for them I got this at

[6:26] Walmart the other day this was one of

[6:27] the ideas I had about ways to keep you

[6:29] know storage space and that's helping

[6:32] need to push that back and then the

[6:34] books have to go I mean if you had a a

[6:37] bigger space maybe you could have books

[6:39] and the space this small no books just

[6:43] can't I really hate sounding negative I

[6:46] truly do it's

[6:49] not it's not the state of mind I want to

[6:51] be in so it

[6:53] just I got these three fants just

[6:56] blowing on

[6:57] me it's not too bad

[7:01] bad I

[7:02] just truly hope that this electrical

[7:05] issue can be solved

[7:07] today I have a feeling that it's just

[7:09] going to be some kind of temporary fix

[7:11] that maybe I can get away with it for a

[7:13] while and hopefully the mobile tech

[7:15] comes back and fixes it

[7:17] permanently and I have all the other

[7:19] issues to deal with and

[7:22] just feeling

[7:27] overwhelmed just I'm feel feeling

[7:29] overwhelmed I I wish I wasn't I wish

[7:33] this were easier for

[7:34] me well I guess anything worth doing you

[7:37] know whatever that thing is kind of

[7:42] applies like to get back to Bailey he

[7:44] been by himself for like 5 hours now

[7:49] almost we have the room for one more

[7:51] night I have a feeling I mean we'll

[7:54] probably stay there and then I'm I'm

[7:56] just hoping that the electrical issues

[7:58] fixed today

[8:01] and we can come back in the morning I

[8:02] can get a level bring the slide out and

[8:05] just you know keep

[8:15] going I really want this to work I

[8:18] really do and I know me I know part of

[8:21] the problem it's being on this campgr

[8:23] for so long I've been here a month now I

[8:25] I don't want to be here like I genuinely

[8:28] don't want to be here there's people

[8:29] everywhere probably because um you know

[8:32] holidays coming up so it's and it's

[8:34] summer it's just probably that time of

[8:36] year when things start to feel cramped

[8:39] and I

[8:40] just this is not a pretty place to be

[8:43] you know it's just

[8:47] not it's hot and humid and just you know

[8:50] just all of it's getting to

[8:52] me I just want to be somewhere

[8:55] else I get in my Jeep I start driving

[8:58] and I'm so freaking happy every time I

[9:00] get in that

[9:02] thing I almost wish I could live that

[9:04] way you

[9:06] know I will never abandon Bailey I got a

[9:09] camper because I had cats today Oliver

[9:13] song came on which made me very sad and

[9:16] I couldn't listen to it which just kind

[9:17] of made me

[9:18] angry it's just been a very emotional

[9:21] day I guess a couple of days but it will

[9:24] pass you know before you know what your

[9:28] life is over you and you've done what

[9:31] you've done

[9:32] so I just have to keep trying I mean

[9:35] this is how my life ends I know it is so

[9:38] I want to make it the best life I can I

[9:40] don't know how long I'm not saying

[9:42] anything that's there's nothing implied

[9:43] by that it's just I think this is how my

[9:46] life ends I I think it ends in this

[9:48] camper maybe I'm lucky and I live a long

[9:51] time and I can buy some land and all of

[9:53] that but I don't know I smoked for 30

[9:57] years you know I

[9:59] I don't know that I have that long I

[10:01] truly don't know

[10:03] so just want to make the best of it I

[10:05] want these days to matter and sitting

[10:08] still doing nothing that doesn't matter

[10:11] it's

[10:12] just it's not good enough I I can't

[10:15] accept that well this man was awesome he

[10:18] fixed my my plug my stabilizer and my

[10:25] stepladder my stabilizer hasn't worked

[10:27] since the day I left my stepladder

[10:29] hasn't worked since the first place I

[10:31] went

[10:32] to he did it all in an hour

[10:35] amazing I tell you about him but he's U

[10:38] moving so to Arizona in two weeks I

[10:42] don't know what he's you know he's got a

[10:44] business I don't know I I'm assume he's

[10:46] taking his business with him but

[10:49] um he's leaving

[10:51] now wow I'm really happy now and I have

[10:57] to go get bailing

[10:59] all right but he's missing

[11:02] me should get us level first though we

[11:05] are still not level he says there is

[11:06] nothing wrong with the slide out um the

[11:09] noise I'm hearing is the squeegee things

[11:13] and I'm guessing he didn't say this but

[11:16] I'm guessing they probably need greasing

[11:19] cuz I didn't used to hear them so if

[11:22] that's all it is I just need to grease

[11:24] them and there shouldn't be a problem

[11:27] anymore yeah I need to get his level

[11:29] before I go and get Bailey but then I'll

[11:32] go get him and we'll probably just come

[11:33] back here tonight a new problem these

[11:36] are brand new

[11:40] tires how are they going to explain

[11:47] that definitely going to go talk to

[11:50] them just bought these it's less

[11:53] pronounced but you can see it bubbling

[11:55] on this side

[11:57] too um this is the p passenger side

[12:01] driver side is way worse probably not

[12:03] from this angle but I can see

[12:06] it okay we're level on this side check

[12:09] the

[12:10] other well it shouldn't be level right

[12:12] now because I have to bring the side

[12:14] out that looks about right to me it

[12:16] should be about Center when I bring that

[12:18] in I mean when I bring that out right

[12:21] now moment of truth if we are

[12:25] level can finally get that level mate

[12:28] Pro thing going it's so hot out today

[12:31] I'm not used to this slide or this it

[12:33] just hit

[12:34] me oh I don't have the set one is my

[12:38] face not at one

[12:40] too anyways let's go check

[12:43] this your bounce in the

[12:48] side oh my God that is freaking close

[12:53] wow thank

[12:54] [Music]

[12:56] God yes

[12:59] I can

[13:00] finally get that level mate Pro

[13:02] installed we're

[13:04] level now I'm going to have to drive

[13:06] this to the tire plat to make them do

[13:08] something about those tires still have

[13:10] to get them balanced I have to get

[13:12] the I don't know why the work keeps

[13:15] slipping my

[13:16] mind you know so go

[13:20] straight alignment I think it's

[13:22] alignment is that

[13:23] right

[13:26] and I think those are the major issues

[13:30] now pretty much

[13:33] so my stabilizers work that's

[13:37] amazing that's I'm not works to day I

[13:40] left and oops this should help with the

[13:45] afternoon sun up there

[13:48] somewhere there it is Bright Power this

[13:53] say my surge protector is okay I mean

[13:55] it's burnt you can see that it's burnt

[13:57] you can't see it now obviously but it's

[13:59] burnt and a spot he says it's fine he

[14:00] put

[14:01] dialectric um something on it dialectric

[14:05] grease I'm going to get some of that do

[14:09] that myself from now on do all the

[14:13] maintenance is definitely hot I've been

[14:15] out here all

[14:17] day it's been like 85 in here I think I

[14:20] said that already in a video a clip that

[14:22] I'm going to post with this takes 2

[14:25] minutes for that surge protector to turn

[14:27] on and we'll get some air going in here

Narrative

The day began with a retraction. rswfire pulled the slide in, closed the RV behind him, and got into the Jeep alone — Bailey had been left at the hotel with his litter box and the air conditioning, and the camper for the next several hours would be a worksite rather than a home. The tech was coming at three. The dentist appointment had been at the same hour, so the dentist lost; the electrical fault read to him as a fire hazard, and he stated plainly that the RV was uninhabitable in its present condition. That was the sequencing logic of the whole day, set before he'd driven a mile: the thing that makes the habitat livable outranks the thing that can be rescheduled.

He drove the errand loop through a hot, humid inland town. The propane place couldn't fill an RV and sent him to another city. The tire place could balance but not align, and sent him elsewhere for that. He noted, out loud, that he hadn't thought to ask which should come first — whether alignment changes balancing — and filed it as a question to ask later. Each stop resolved into a partial yes and a referral. He said it without much heat: a lot of little places, a lot of little things, to be stopped at some point. Somewhere in that loop he parked next to a Willys — modded, a color he loved — and left a duck on it. His first ducking. He'd received them before, had one on his dash, had never given one. He circled the observation twice, pleased, and wondered aloud why RVers don't wave the way Jeeps do.

Then, still driving, he said the other thing. That he wanted to give up today. That everything felt impossible — and immediately, in the same breath, that it wasn't. He was going to keep going, one foot in front of the other, one thing and then the next thing, and hopefully it got easier. He said he thought it was important to put that on camera, because the other channels he could have watched show none of it — the figured-out life, the easy life, the lovely life — and he hadn't been watching any of that when he made the decision anyway. Day 75, he thought, since moving out of the house. Almost three months. It felt like it should be easier by now.

Back at the site the interior sat at about 85 degrees, slide in all day, windows finally open, three fans running off batteries whose remaining charge he had no way to read. He worked the hour before the tech arrived on storage — crates from Walmart, a shower he wanted to convert into shelving, floors that were still holding things three months in. He said the space defeats organization, that every time you get it right something else undoes it and you begin again, that it's small enough that the books have to go. He said he hated sounding negative, that it wasn't the state of mind he wanted to be in. He named the campground as part of it: a month there, crowded ahead of the holiday, hot and humid, not a pretty place, people everywhere, and two weeks left. He said he gets in the Jeep, starts driving, and is happy every single time — and that he would never abandon Bailey, that he got a camper because he had cats. Oliver's song had come on that day, and he couldn't listen to it, and that made him angry. And then the frame beneath the day: that this is how his life ends, in this camper. He said nothing was implied by that. Thirty years of smoking. He didn't know how long he had, so he wanted these days to matter, and sitting still doing nothing didn't clear that bar.

The tech arrived and the day turned inside of an hour. The plug. The stabilizer, dead since the day he left. The step ladder, dead since the first place he'd stopped. All three, one hour, one man who was moving to Arizona in two weeks. The slide, the tech said, was fine — the noise was the squeegees, and rswfire concluded on his own that they wanted grease. The burnt surge protector got dielectric grease and a verdict of okay; he decided he'd buy the grease and do that maintenance himself from now on.

He went to level before going for Bailey. Checked one side, checked the other, allowed for the slide still being in, called the moment of truth out loud — and it was close, close enough that he said thank God, close enough to finally install the Level Mate Pro he'd been carrying unopened. In the same stretch he found the bubbling: passenger side visible, driver side worse, on tires he had just bought. Another drive back to the tire place, added to a queue that already held balancing and alignment. He said those were the major issues now, pretty much.

He got to the hotel and Bailey greeted him and went straight to his food, which is what Bailey does. He took a shower and said what he missed most about house life was baths — not the house, the baths — and that it would be cabins and little visits from here on. Bailey meowed the entire drive home, and rswfire answered him the entire drive home, telling him he loved him too, again and again, all the way back to the site. Inside, the step ladder came off the bed and Bailey got put up on his own bed, and the complaining stopped. The afternoon sun hit harder on this side, he noticed; he was only here for two more weeks. He said the day turned out pretty good after all, and said he should make that a lesson — that he'd known it, that he'd said it himself hours earlier while driving. Do the things. Keep doing the things. Some days will be challenging. Many will not.

Summary

rswfire documents a full day of RV repair and organization work while staying at a hotel with his cat Bailey, whose litter box he states is making a mess and smelling worse than expected.

He runs errands and logistics ahead of a 3:00 mobile tech appointment:

Checks a propane place and a tire place; the LP shop cannot fill his RV propane and refers him elsewhere, the tire shop can balance but not align and refers him for alignment
Goes to Walmart for cleaning supplies and crates for shower storage
Skips a dentist appointment to prioritize the tech visit, describing the electrical issue as a fire hazard and the RV as uninhabitable
Notes he still needs to sanitize the tanks and is unsure of the bleach procedure while living in the space

He stops to place a duck on a Willys Jeep parked next to his — his first ducking after previously only receiving them.

The mobile tech fixes the plug, stabilizer, and step ladder in an hour, and reports nothing wrong with the slide-out; rswfire concludes the noise is squeegees needing grease. He gets the RV level, installs the Level Mate Pro, and finds bubbling on both brand-new tires, which he plans to raise with the tire shop.

He states he is struggling, unhappy, and at points wanted to give up, and states his intent to keep going one step at a time. He states he believes this camper is how his life ends, notes 30 years of smoking, and says he wants the days to matter. He mentions day 75 / day 84 counts, a month at a crowded campground he does not want to be at, 85-degree heat, an Oliver song that came on, and missing baths. He retrieves Bailey and returns for the night, closing that the day turned out good after all.

A mobile-living day split across three sites in a hot, humid summer inland town. The signal begins in the Jeep leaving the RV, slide retracted, en route to a propane shop, a tire shop, and Walmart, then returns to the RV interior — roughly 85°F, windows open, three fans running on battery, slide in, floors and surfaces still un-storaged at three months of occupancy.

Mid-signal the setting is the campground site he has occupied for a month, described as crowded ahead of the holiday, with a mobile RV tech working on-site. The closing stretch runs through a hotel room where Bailey has been kept for the day, then the drive back and re-entry into the RV at dusk.

Substrate

The architecture being held is a habitat under construction — a vehicle-system being brought from partial function to livable baseline through sequential, itemized repair while simultaneously being lived in. rswfire holds the position that difficulty is a condition of the build, not a verdict on the decision: he states the day feels impossible and states in the same breath that it is not, and the signal's spine is the explicit method of doing one thing, then the next. Underneath sits a stated temporal frame — day-count since leaving the house, a 30-year smoking history, an assessment that this camper is where his life ends — which converts maintenance labor into a question of whether the days count for something.

Entities

beings

Bailey — Cat; held at the hotel for the work day, retrieved and returned to the RV; stated as the reason the camper exists rather than a smaller vehicle

Oliver — Named being referenced; a song associated with him played during the day and rswfire states it made him sad and then angry that he could not listen

the mobile tech — RV technician; repaired plug, stabilizer, and step ladder in one hour; relocating to Arizona in two weeks

places

Walmart — Supply source for crates and cleaning materials

the campground — Site occupied one month; described as crowded, hot, humid, and not where he wants to be; two weeks remaining

the hotel — Temporary quarters during electrical outage; where Bailey waited five hours

Arizona — Tech's stated relocation destination

systems

the RV / camper — Primary habitat and the object of the day's repair sequence; slide, stabilizers, tanks, electrical, and leveling all in play

Jeep — rswfire's vehicle; stated as the place he is reliably happy; also the culture in which ducking occurs

LevelMate Pro — Leveling device that could only be installed once the RV was actually level

surge protector — Burnt in one spot; tech assessed as functional and applied dielectric grease

ChatGPT — Named as the resolver for the alignment-before-balancing question

concepts

day 75 / day 84 — Day-count since moving out of the house, used as the measure against which difficulty is assessed

media

Willys Jeep — Modified Jeep parked adjacent; recipient of his first duck placement

RV YouTubers — Reference class he names as presenting frictionless versions of this life

Ontological States

Expressed modes of being or awareness.

embedded (living inside the system he is repairing; no separation between habitat and worksite)

transitional (three months into a mode-change, baseline function not yet reached, explicitly measured by day count)

self-witnessing (states the difficulty on camera specifically because the available reference material omits it)

mortality-framed (states this camper is likely where his life ends and derives from that a requirement that the days matter)

Engaged Subsystems

Architecture engaged in this transmission.

infrastructural (electrical, slide, stabilizers, tanks, tires, leveling — the day's entire work queue)

logistical (sequencing tech window against dentist appointment, shop capabilities, hotel night, store run)

somatic (85° interior, three fans, humidity, the stated bath absence)

relational (Bailey's care, containment, and retrieval; the duck placed on a stranger's Jeep)

economic (assessment that the lifestyle's cost is now repairs plus regular life, not acquisition)

diagnostic (self-directed troubleshooting: squeegees need grease, dielectric grease from now on, doing own maintenance)

temporal (day count, three-month marker, 30-year smoking history, two weeks remaining at site)

Narrative

Mirror

You are inside the thing you are repairing. The slide is in, the windows are open, three fans run on batteries whose charge you cannot measure, and the interior holds at roughly 85°. You leave it, drive to a propane shop that cannot fill you, a tire shop that can balance but not align, a Walmart for crates, and you come back to it. There is no site you go to that is separate from the site you live in. The dentist appointment was scheduled against the tech's window and you dropped the dentist. You call the electrical condition a fire hazard and the space uninhabitable and you sleep in a hotel that night and return in the morning.

The method is stated plainly and it does not vary across the day: one thing, then the next thing. You say it feels impossible and you say in the same sentence that it is not. You say you want to give up today and you keep the queue moving. You name the state without resolving it — you do not know whether it is depression or discouragement, you say you are not happy right now, you say you hate sounding negative, and you continue itemizing. The statement of difficulty is deliberate; you say directly that you are recording it because the reference material you did not watch beforehand omits it.

Multiple subsystems run at once and none of them wait for the others. Infrastructural: stabilizer, stepladder, surge protector, slide squeegees, tanks, tires, leveling. Logistical: tech window, shop capabilities, hotel night, store run, five hours of Bailey alone. Somatic: heat, humidity, the bath you name as the single thing you miss most and did not take when it was available. Diagnostic: you decide the squeegees need grease, you note the dielectric grease, you state you will do the maintenance yourself from now on. Economic: you assess the acquisition phase as finished and the cost now as repairs plus regular life. Temporal: day 75, three months, two weeks left at this site, thirty years of smoking. Relational: the duck placed on a stranger's Willys, your first one given rather than received.

You state that this camper is likely where your life ends, that you do not know how long that is, and that nothing is implied by saying it. From that you derive a requirement rather than a conclusion: the days have to matter, and sitting still doing nothing does not meet the standard. The standard is yours, you state it precisely, and you measure the day against it before the day is over. By the time you are level — and you check twice, and you say that is freaking close — you have converted the standard into a lesson you say out loud: keep doing the things, some days will be challenging, many will not.

What is present: a work queue, a stated method, a cat retrieved, a level achieved, three repairs completed in an hour by a man who is leaving for Arizona in two weeks, new tires that are bubbling on both sides. What is absent: any reconsideration of the decision to leave the house. Any person besides you holding the load or named as available to hold it. Any accounting of what this costs beyond the statement that acquisition is done. Any resolution of the tank smell, the alignment, the propane, the books that have to go. You end the day facing west into afternoon sun you say is even hotter on this side, and you note you are only here for two weeks.
