Over our years on the road we've used many different web and mobile apps to find boondocking sites and and to get out hiking, biking and more while we're in camp. A year ago, we started using Gaia GPS because of its numerous advantages for the RV traveler. This video isn't sponsored by Gaia GPS in any way. We've simply become tremendous fans by utilizing the software extensively ourselves over the past year, and want to share our experience for your RV travels.

SPONSOR

Protect your RV with the most advanced surge protector available, the Power Watchdog +EPO from Hughes Autoformers, available from our video sponsor, etrailer. This convenient unit simply plugs between the pedestal and your shore power cord for 6,100 Joules of advanced surge protection with advanced circuit analysis to shut off power automatically in the event of an emergency. Hardwired models are available as well, in both 50-amp and 30-amp versions. Monitor park power conditions in real time via a free smartphone Bluetooth app. Unlike other surge protectors, the Power Watchdog surge protection module is user replaceable, and fault codes are easily diagnosed and explained.

ABOUT US

Welcome to Grand Adventure, a YouTube channel that focuses on RV-centric outdoor activities including not only of course camping, but also mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, skiing and more, always filmed in stunning 4K.

We're based in Salt Lake City, Utah during the winter months, and invite you to come along as we travel all around the U.S. My wife Patricia and I, and dog Zoe are avid boondockers, so while you'll occasionally find us in RV parks or even dry campgrounds, we're usually camped in some of the most remote and beautiful spots that you could ever pull a travel trailer into. We've now transitioned from "long-timing" for six months a year, to living and traveling in our RV full-time.

We'll provide beautiful travel videos, as well as some tips and insight on trip planning, and equipping and maintaining your RV to make your next adventure a grand one indeed! So, subscribe to make sure that you catch every episode, and remember...life is nothing but a Grand Adventure!
