Road Ready Campground Review: Thousand Trails Sturbridge RV Resort, Sturbridge MA
Road Ready Campground Reviews. This move, was from Sturbridge RV Resort in Sturbridge MA. This is a Thousand Trails Membership Campground. Dont let the word RESORT in the name of the park fool you, this is no resort. Its a run down, over crowded trailer park. Most of the sites are annual, and filled old dirty RVs, and filled with un-attended kids running wild. The former conference center is filled with a bunch of garbage, and the pool is monitored by a security guard with signing in to the log book being his #1 priority. Other than him, the staff was fairly friendly, doing the best with what they have been given. I would say that it isnt big rig friendly, but honestly it wouldnt have mattered how big our RV was with the space they have. The best feature was the price and location wasnt bad. But not a resort in any way.

[RV Life & Travel] Ep. 81 A BOONDOCKING JOURNEY: Florida to Texas
Hey friends, in this week's episode we share a different part of our rv life adventures: the journey! We take 6 nights to travel from Destin, Florida to Big Bend National Park. Join us for a taste of life on the road!
The travel app that we swear by is: AllStays
*A kind viewer let us know that the Allstays app is currently only available for iPhones. It used to be in the Android store but they removed it. For Android users, you can still access the information, you just have to use their regular website instead of a mobile app.
Here are the GPS coordinates for each place we overnighted (it never hurts to call the Walmart or Casino and make sure they still allow it!)
Santa Rosa Rest Area, Milton, FL: 30.613240, -86.975664
Isle of Capri Casino, Westlake, LA: 30.236624, -93.249948
Medina County Safety Rest Area, D'Hanis, TX: 29.314274, -99.383452
Walmart, Del Rio, TX: 29.394579, -100.901045
Picnic Area, Dryden, TX: 29.950383, -101.993647
Picnic Area, Alpine, TX: 30.155826, -103.583514
Most picnic areas we saw had garbage cans, but no other amenities.
The one near Dryden we had 3G Verizon and no AT&T
The one near Alpine we had no service from either carrier.

Building Amazing Homes & Mobile Spaces Using Shipping Containers!
In this video we explore and learn how to use shipping containers as strong, durable and mobile building blocks to create amazing structures of all kinds, like a house, addition, office space, or cabin; and we feature a few stunning projects to get you inspired!
Anthony Ruggiero from Storstac Inc. ( showed us around their yard in Toronto, Ontario and took the time to teach us about the ins and outs of building with shipping containers. We're excited to share the tips and information we learned with you.
Shipping containers come in standard 20 foot and 40 foot lengths, and there are other specialty custom sizes like the 10', 45', 48', 53' long containers.
Almost all shipping containers are made in China, and can be bought used (after they've been used for 10-20 years), or new, which means they've one been used once.
Since there are no shipping manifests for used containers to show what was transported in them over the course of their lifetime (it could be anything from clothes to nuclear waste), it's better to build with a new shipping container that's only been used once.
They're made with COR-TEN steel, which is a weathering steel that can withstand harsh weather conditions and elements like salt water because the rust on weathering steel creates a protective patina to keep it strong, whereas rust on mild steel would actually weaken the metal.
While building with shipping containers is not necessarily cheaper than conventional building, it does have advantages because the containers are modular, movable and mobile, durable, and have a unique, modern look.
They can be do it yourself friendly if you've worked with steel before, or if you find a company to take care of the steel work for you so you can focus on how to frame it and finish it from the inside.
Let us know what you think of shipping containers as alternative building blocks in the comments!

Things I Wish I Knew Before Building a Shipping Container House
The Facts:
Container approx $1,200 - Transport $1000
Storage / secure lot - $3,000 (6 months)
oxygen and acetylene torches to cut doors windows - $700
Insurance (required)- $500
Materials - reclaimed cost value $3,000
Materials Purchased: $1,800
Labor: Free with Youtube Judgement or Love
The cost of making it and having fun while learning? PRICELESS
Be offended and enjoy your day.. or Like and subscribe to enjoy more.
After my Maine adventure I got the idea to build a Shipping Container Cabin. Here is my video summary of things I wish I knew before I built a shipping container house. It was an awesome process and I really enjoyed it, but I learned the hard way there is no money in this as a profitable business model. My next plan is to build a 40ft one somewhere on a mountain in Virginia where I can write my manifesto. Shipping container houses are awesome and I could live in one so this is not the last build for me, but it is not a viable business. Someday maybe, but people are not quite ready yet.
** Language Complaints**
Please stop letting words hurt you and realize they have little value and the overall objective is the message. I am sorry, but words are just noises and sounds... we put the value in them based on personal beliefs and not those of a drunk sailor.. I believe no sound should be restricted when not in malice or anger.
***Complaints about not being Ultra Modern ***
After many comments about it being not modern enough with new age technology, stainless steel, granite, robots and robot legs that rise and walk on water. I would just like to add that we sold it as a recreational cabin and not a primary home in San Fransisco or New York City.
This was marketed as a simple solution for an instant hunting / fishing camp. The price was $5K cheaper than the cheapest Chinese model you see on eBay. We believe that the price for what it is was very affordable for our target buyers.
**You are too negative- Complaints**
Life is tough and I am sorry that I can not candy coat it and feed it to you on a golden spoon. I am realistic and I retain this quality that many younger generations have lost along the way to being offended. I keep it real ... I want people to follow their dreams but be realistic. You will not be Elon Musk and you will not likely start a tiny house revolution..... or nor will you send Tesla cars in to space on rockets you made with your play money. If you find value in that cool...... If not, go build a few, make a video, share your personal thoughts, and then message me. I will respect you, but until then... I will view you as a petty comment troll who hates puppies and kittens. You are the type of person who posts hateful comments about loving democracy and freedom. If you post negative comments, the terrorists win. Is that what you want? Is it?
Thanks for watching- (I see what you just did there)
Thanks for watching and go build a Shipping Container House
