On the initial leg of our trip we sprinted across the country from Goldston NC to Strasburg CO only stopping in West Virginia and Kansas to “pop-up” and sleep. We’ve been in Strasburg now for 3 nights filming at the West Bijou Ranch, Rocky Mountain Natural Meats, and Memphis Ranch.

Our 32 year old pop up camper is hanging in there! Super easy to tow although a little crunched for space and not exactly ideal for KOA sites close to the interstate. But we’ve managed and the journey has been exciting!

Travel Blog Part 4 for NATIVE | Prodigies of an Icon. We’ve finally hit the road! But not without a few complications!

This On The Road Episode was brought to you by:

Travel Blog Part 3 for NATIVE | Prodigies of an Icon. In order to make the trailer | pilot for the documentary we had to figure out a way to dramatically cut costs. Since travel costs are a large part of documentary filming we decided the best way to achieve our goal was to invest in a camper.

Charlie took the project beyond a standard repair or renovation… it’s more like a total rebuild! But we are running out of time and need to hit the road. Can he get the project completed?

This On The Road Episode was brought to you by:

We’ve just spent the past two weeks working around the clock through two major tropical disturbances to prepare this old 1989 camper for the trip out west. There’s still so much work to be done!

The camper will have new floors, new paint, new electrical, new plumbing, new tires, even a new exterior aluminum siding. When we realized the only way to repair the floor was to rebuild it… that’s what we did!

Here are a couple sneak peaks of what’s happening with the camper overhaul. Charlie was up until Midnight last night working on the camper and will likely pull another late night tonight!

We’ll have some better photos soon… the big reveal! Where ever that might be.

Problem is, the camper needed a lot of work and Charlie has taken it to a whole new level of “renovation.”
