Lights and everything work without generator. I didn't know some you need the generator to power the fridge? That doesn't seem right. And most camping sites have a generator off time of 10pm

I looked up their trailer and it says that the fridge will run off electric or propane.
As people pointed out with the miscarriage.... Ellie and Jared could take a day or two off. It seems they are making good money, so I'm sure they can afford to skip a day or two. If they can't, then they have a problem for multiple reasons, and not just the money.
Ellie probably hated that there was no internet. She does a lot of shopping online, and I think this is how she spends her free time. We give Missy a ton of crap for always being stuck to her phone, but I don't think Ellie is that different. What is she supposed to do without high speed Internet.... read? Ellie
Camping isn't for everyone, and that's fine, but most people don't rush out to buy a trailer before realizing that. Well, most normal people that is. My in laws are impulsive and tend to do things like that. Then again, I see a lot of similarities between my Narcissistic father in law and Ellie, so I'm rarely surprised by the need to create a flashy image. I predicted Ellie wouldn't like the trailer, and can see her pulling all sorts of excuses out of her ass for why they NEED to upgrade further to a cabin or a larger truck/trailer combo.
Double post but...Ellie sure seems extra cheery in her insta story (also she's eating in bed again). Jared seems exhausted and maybe annoyed? Wonder if Ellie got a positive ovulation test?
I was LOLing at Ellie trying to start a fire. She had 3 giant logs and hardly any kindling sitting on top of one of the logs. And when Jared said she needed more kindling, he had to tell her what kindling is.
That all would be perfectly fine and normal, except then she takes credit and says she learned so much about camping from her parents etc... and only gives Jared a little bit of credit for helping. And he caves and goes on a spiel about how much her parents taught her. she is like a child who needs to be tricked into believing she is successful at something, rather than putting in work to actually LEARN new things. Unless those logs were incredibly dry, I am sure Jared had to get that fire going.

Haha I thought the same thing about the fire! Yes, Ellie was basically raised in the woods she's pretty much a mountain woman! [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY] Isn't Jared an eagle scout? He must've been dying at her fire attempt.
I do not know anything about camping, but don't most campsites like the one they're at have power running to them? Shouldn't they be able to plug their camper in to the campsites power so they don't have to use a generator?

I got the SAME feeling from that Insta story. Jared was definitely irritated with her. Also it bugs me that they are watching Better Call Saul because I love that show haha.

If they were at the RV spots, yes. But they were at a tent camping site with their trailer, they have no power. My husband and I go camping a lot and it's always SO annoying when somebody does this and runs their generator all night. Some campsites are better than others with patrols, and if so they would have come by and told them to turn off the generator during quiet hours, but I've been to sites where they don't have anybody coming by and people are rude and inconsiderate. I suspect at least Ellie falls into that category.

Haha. I have a fireplace where we constantly have a fire going in the winter because our house is on oil heat which is expensive. Those big logs wouldn't catch well enough by the time that little fire had gone out.

Exactly! We have a woodstove and we let it die out every night, so we start a lot of fires! Those logs she had in there were huge and the little nest she had was like nothing lol.
It's like they manipulate the vlogs to "prove" that she is smart and capable and probably to boost her confidence. It is sad when I get thinking about it. She would be much better off being with someone who challenges her rather than caving to her immediate psychological needs. I can't imagine being so insecure that I respond to failure by pretending I was successful and announcing it to the world. She is never going to grow as a person without someone who pushes her to be comfortable with who she is, even if it is a ditzy woman. We all liked her before when she liked herself! I dunno, I feel sad for her today.

She was SO HAPPY TO LEAVE. Then she talked about that Star Valley thing, which is an RV park with all the comforts of home.That will be the extent of what they do with the RV from now. On a different note, I really hope Ellie's eyebrows die down soon, they look good but weird and out of place on her face.
I didn't really understand the timeline of their trip though. According to E&J, they woke up in the middle of the night (3-4) and left at 5, but they never took the plastic off their bed? How does that work out?

I'm guessing they never bothered to take off those plastic covers you get on a new mattress
That was a strange camping vlog. Don't you think anyone else would vlog arriving there and showing the kids getting out of the car all excited, setting up the trailer (id love to see why it was SO difficult) and exploring the campsite? My family camped every summer when I was growing up so they seemed like people who had never actually been before and didn't know what to do.
That generator is obnoxious as hell. I'd be so annoyed camping next to someone like that.
We camp a lot also, and camping with our family of five is a lot of work! If we took our kids camping where they went, they would be bored out of their minds. They can only play in the woods for so long, lol. We go to more resort-type places...our favorite place has a pool and even an arcade and movie theater. The kids really only care about sleeping outside and the s'mores anyway. This whole camping fiasco really illustrates how E&J make everything about themselves and what THEY want their kids to experience, not what they think their kids would like.

Also Ellie talking about the butt wipes. Omg.

But if they don't have reception it wouldn't work regardless.
