Video: 2021-2024 motorhome travel timelapses in 17 minutes!

Was the 2024 timelapses video not fast enough for you? Hey, I understand; 50 minutes is quite long, even at 20x the original timelapses speed.

This video combines the 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 timelapse videos, and makes them eight times faster (i.e. 160 times faster than original timelapses), so you can see about 20k miles of motorhome travel in about 17 minutes!

Our review on Campground Reviews:

Nice place to stop in Las Cruces

This was our third time staying here and our first time not staying in one of the “view” sites, although we still had a decent view of both mountain ranges. This campground is conveniently off I-10 and has easy access to anything in Las Cruces. We camped at Las Cruces KOA Journey in a Motorhome.

Utilities weren’t super convenient; having to use three 10-foot sewer hoses wasn’t ideal (the concrete pad and utilities were clearly set up with trailers in mind):

We enjoyed a local pizza delivery on our last night; tasty, fast, and inexpensive:

Still a nice RV park. No doubt we’ll stay here yet again in the future. (See our previous two stays for more photos.)
