Ep 96 | Failure RV Hot Water Breakdown, Oklahoma, Texas, Route 66 Road Trip USA, RV Nutshell

E96 Vlog of Life in a Nutshell RV travels.

We left the state park and headed off to be de-winterised which appeared to be a simple operation, but, alas.

We checked out the National Route 66 Museum in Elk City, Oklahoma and learnt more about the history of the road and the people who built and traveled along it.

We stepped back in time and experienced an original fried onion burger at Sid’s Diner. The onions are actually fried in with the burger on the hot plate which was a new invention at the time.

We had a good look at the U-Drop Inn Cafe, Shamrock in Texas which was a stunning art deco building. We loved it!

More issues with the hot water system left us without hot showers… we had to call the Man.

Here’s some of the stuff we came across along the way:

Skydance Bridge, Motel Ranger, Johnnie’s Grill, Robert’s Grill, Sid’s Diner, Pony Bridge, Lucille’s Gas Station, Clancy Motel, National Route 66 Museum, Sayre Campground, West Winds Motel, Elm Motel, Water Hole 2, Hitching Post Bar, Shamrock Country Inn and the U-Drop Inn.

We hope you enjoy traveling along with us as we drive across America in an RV, on the historic Route 66, taking in the sights and learning about the history.

Magnus and Wendy
