Uhhhhh, yeah about that RV that I said was the most important thing to making my filming more effective, well it turns out that a large RV guzzles a lot of gas, its hard to keep steady with my shaking hands and a north wind, and I can't seem to get around in town in it. So, just like everything else in my entire life, I quit with the RV thing, its back to the jeep. Ohhh and while I was trying to lean my head out the window to yell CEASE and DESIST to an angry passing motorist, I chipped my tooth so I have to go to the dentist, I don't get workman's comp for this so I want to remind everyone of the pay pal link on the bottom of the page. And I need some gas money too, why did you lemmings talk me into this?
So lets see, he has failed at over 50 businesses, he failed as a father, grandfather, husband, book writer, movie producer, facebook page owner, politician, at diet and exercise, Meet me in DC, pro se litigant, and now we can add RV driver to the list. Oh well, its only someone else's money right? If at first you don't succeed, fail fail fail fail fail fail again.
Austin and Chris of Olathe RV did a great job disconnecting the drive train on the Jeep so it could be towed, and then securing the Jeep to the tow dolly. Then all 54-feet of us was off. The first day went pretty well. Some learning to d...o. But the second day was miserable. Strong winds had me battling to keep the RV between the white lines. I was extremely uncomfortable towing the Jeep. While I have now taken an oath that I will try to avoid ever towing anything again EVER, I screwed up. The RV woiuld have been perfect for the first trip, but I believe it is wrong for thie second trip. Filming primarily outside on location requires the ability to maneuver and work in small spaces. The RV won't do that. So after all the attempts to get an RV, all the thinking and planning, I'm going to head to Sevierville and elsewhere in Tennessee this week for filming in the Jeep. I suspect I will make this entire Trip II in the Jeep. There are several reasons for this decision. I know it's the right decision; I just wish I had been considering all of the factors before I spent a week getting the RV. Sometimes we don't see the trees for the forest, and sometimes we only look at the prettiest part of the forest and ignore the rest....See More
