What RVing has done for us is being able to visit our kids on our terms. We have our house with us and can get up and go to bed when we want and not disturb anybody. Last year we spent 3 weeks in North Carolina visiting our son. Then we drove across country to Alberta to visit our daughter which took seven weeks to accomplish. Great way to travel, see our kids, and meet nice people.

Retired RV dealer here. I sold 500 units to FEMA during the hurricane Katrina disaster. Believe me, RV’s are not designed for full time living. They are designed for occasional use and wear fast when used for full time use. Add the lack of factory support and short spare parts support, it can be a real nightmare when your coach is not livable and parts are 90 days out.

I don’t believe that. They are built as LIGHT AS POSSIBLE, to try to simulate a house as you travel. Naturally, building long means they fall aperture during use. Stick framed homes require certain maintenance…light weight living quarters require constant maintenance. We tried several kinds of RVs always with the experience of having to work on them a lot before we could go. NOT ENJOYABLE. I’ll satay in my impregnable home forever before I’ll ever buy another RV.

I use to live in an RV full time between the ages of 19-25. It was because I moved from California to central Massachusetts. Attached college in MA and lucked up that someone bought an old campground where I could live in a spot for $400 per month. I loved it because I was kept my kitties with me and it felt like home when I studied and worked. Left for 20 years, but now my new husband and I starting to do the RV life while we keep our small homestead. The only time we won't live in our RV is during the winter. We plan to use those months to deal with any repairs, do any updates, stretch out legs and let our dog and two cats have a bigger "house" for several months. It's an adjustment for both of us.

I think that the reason you want to travel full-time in an RV often affects how long you want to live this life. Some of those I met 6 years ago no longer live in an RV. After several years of RV living, they bought a boat and are living a full-time water life. Others are traveling full-time in Europe and Asia. Not everyone who quits the RV life quits because they hated it. I'm still living the full-time RV life but I am also dreaming about what the next adventure may be. Thanks for tackling this topic. I hope folks who are considering this lifestyle don't think that the life isn't worth the hard work.

We tried the tiny house living thing for about 5 years, and it was awesome! But then, our kids got older and it just wasn't right for us anymore. That doesn't mean tiny houses are a bad idea, just that they work for people in certain situations and not others, and that's totally okay! We now have an apartment, and its working for us now, but who knows? In five-ten years, once our kids are in college, we might do the RV life, or the snowbird thing, or bum around Europe-- nothing says you have to pick one thing and do it for the rest of your life. People and situations change, that doesn't mean those years doing something different were a mistake. I don't regret living in a tiny house for five years, it was an awesome experience, and I'm sure a lot of people feel that way about RV life too.

Excellent reality video. Everyone should watch this one. Almost all full timers I knew quit within 5 yrs, the number one reason was BURNOUT. You are so correct and spot on. In 25 yrs of RVing. I’ve seen the crazy explosion in camping fees. Most new Rvers don’t have any idea what a camp site cost just 5 yrs ago. Fuel is a killer, especially for a Class A Diesel. Last summer on 6 week trip out west we had $7,000 in fuel costs. The average RVer can’t afford those trips. Our current 6 week fall trip still is a bit costly. But our savior is our home base. When we get home we recharge for the next adventure. 4-5 months per yr on the road for us is enough.

I've been a fulltime RVer for the last almost 5 years. The idea was to travel the lower 48 states within 5 years and by Dec 2023 I'll be able to check that box. I'm convinced though that fulltime RVing is not most people's cup of tea, but it is mine!. It is getting better. There are times when I wish I was back in my very nice (even luxurious) condo in Minneapolis MN where I had all the normal conveniences and where everything was walking distance. But the moment I realize that I'll have to go back to full time work for that, the feeling passes instantly. Instantly! I now get some SS , make a bit of money with Amazon and have some pension coming my way in 18 months time. It almost adds up to something. Life is good. Baja California this winter.

My wife and I have been on kind of a RV kick researching and trying to figure out RV-ing and how to have fun doing it. The more research I do, the more I'm convinced I don't actually want to own one of these things. I'd much rather rent one for the occasional trip once every two years than have to deal with all the hassle that comes with owning one.

@glenj.taylor2938 19 күн бұрын

Can I share my story? With some help from me, research, discussion, etc, my father bought a brand new 2007 Fleetwood Terra LX for about $100k. He's had to put in a new motor, that was after the head gaskets blew 1.5 years prior, and those two events alone cost about $35k. Not typical but it 100% happened. Leveling Jacks breaking and within the first few years there's no parts, no replacements and warranty? Long gone. All manner of: water pump failures, interior crap galore having issues, general maintenance and upgrades, new tires every 7 years that cost about $3k per set (pre-covid pricing), and all manner of other headaches. RV stands for RUINED VACATION for a reason. 😄 Overall I ask people this, would you spend $250k on something that is only worth about $30k in 15years? If the answer is NO WAY, then be smarter than us and stay away from RVs. With that said, the trips we've had really have been about "priceless." I lost my dad last July. "Kona's Doghouse" (my Dad bought the RV for him and his dog) or as I call it "The Rolling Turd," because it's big, brown, and is generally just crap, has been one thing I am seriously struggling with parting ways with. I have such an immense love/hate relationship with that thing. One of my friends who borrowed it once and is a multi-tour combat veteran identified that I have what he coined as "RV PTSD." Just about every time I work on it, which is EVERY TIME WE WANT TO USE IT, I almost can't control my emotions. But that's automobiles in general, right? 😂 With all that said, I would recommend a Truck and Trailer or Renting because I don't care what it costs, it'll be a fraction of owning. I hope this helps.

Heyyyyy!!! My husband and I are fulltimers in our class A. We are sometimes at each other's throats and it's hard to get away. We are actually thinking about leaving the fulltime RV life as well but, it's not for any of the reasons you mentioned. Ours is actually due to the neighbors at RV parks. It used to be mostly people on vacation and we're a super social couple. Now we see all these families who fulltime and aren't at all social and a lot of campgrounds have gotten full with longtermers who aren't social, tend to be unfriendly, live like pigs, and it isn't the happy go lucky lifestyle like it used to be. It's also gotten SO MUCH HARDER to get reservations at campgrounds and due to that, prices have SKYROCKETED!

Think of it like going to a ski resort with no snow or a club with no music where everyone is wallflowers and 0 social interactions. It's the vibe. You get to a campground that's 100% full and almost no one is hanging out or visually having fun. It quickly turns into a very boring time. So no you don't have to entertain others you smartass.

@@katherinemcmahon509 Thank you for being more cordial. I agree that everyone RVs/camps in their own way. However, I have been referring to large campgrounds, like destination campgrounds, this entire time and not smaller more private ones that are less social or boondocking. I was also referring to the reality of doing something for fun versus having to do something. If you're RVing for fun, you have different expectations/mentality versus those who full-time because they had to or downsized for cost. Think tiny house people versus RVers. Totally different mentality but, look the same from the outside. But honestly, why are you arguing a point of introverts camping when it's brutally obvious you aren't a full-time RVer and also just as obvious I wasn't talking about the casual RVer? A casual RVer would never notice these things.

We enjoyed your presentation style! Now in our 8th year of fulltime RVing in a small Class A (under 26'), your reality list resonates with us and is good advice. We've mitigated many of the issues you cite by doing volunteer work as state park hosts the majority of the time. By planning 1-2 years ahead we chart our RV course to parks in the best locations for climate, access to internet, supplies, health services and repair shops, and proximity to loved ones. We do light work for the parks in exchange for a free site with all hookups for 2-5 month stretches. This gives us stability, amenities (as valued park personnel), plenty of social contact, affordable lifestyle and less maintenance and expense on the road. We highly recommend the full-time RV, part-time volunteer lifestyle!

My spouse and I have been in a bumper pull for 2 yrs traveling, it gets more difficult setting up each place we go, anti-sway and stabilizing bars, leveling side to side and front to back, adding wobble boards for more stability and setting up 2 black/grey hoses at each park is a task as each place has different set ups. But, on the flip side you get to see amazing places. We just cut out some travel out west due to diesel prices $7/gal!!! So those are some real concerns. We’r trying for a 5th wheel as we wanted property for a home base but it is crazy expensive right now. I think being in a camper or class C can be challenging with space- clothes, linens, pantry for food and storage for tools you made need on the road! It is very limited and you have to watch the weight for towing,’it adds up quick. But again, flip side is also freedom to go at anytime.

I’ve been a fulltimer for 4 years now and I love the simple lifestyle. In my experience, the more you move around, the more problems you’ll have. The highways are tough on RVs. The bigger and pricer the RV, the higher chance of something breaking while traveing. I’ve had some sort of mechanical issue about 60-70% of the time that I moved around. Now I am mostly stationary at one rv park for most of the year, but love having the freedom to hit the road whenever I choose.

Unfortunately in recent times the cost of everything from gas to RV sites has skyrocketed as everyone is "profiteering" . Our favorite site went from $840 a month for a 3 month contract to $800 a month in a 24 month contract - that comes to $9600 a year because the demand is so high. We had to re-evaluate our RV living choices. When we did the Excell spread sheet on all the costs - gas - insurance - maintenance on the RV and the truck ... it came to $18000 a year - so much for the Winters in Florida.

We have not been full time, yet. We have done two 6 week road trips that have taken us to 2 additional time zones, 6,000 and 3,000 miles each. Thankfully when we had enough of each other we were in places that allowed outdoor activities like walking, running or a trip to the grocery store or Wal Mart alone. We found being flexible with our plans and locations to stay away from snow helped. Unfortunately it cut our boondocking short in Colorado, but we stayed our of the snow. We are currently looking for a new rig (our bumper hitch was stolen off our own home property!) And hopefully doing a 9+/- month trip.

We have a Winnebago View, and it's the same size very similar to your rig. No oven, and all I know how to do with a Dutch oven is look at, and dust it. It just found and bought a very compact folding Coleman camp-oven. $50, stores in the closet, and uses the RV stove or outside portable propane stove for heat. Home Depot on-line or Amazon has them. Love your channel.

Good to know the missing pieces that are not shared on the "Sun will come out tomorrow" RV videos. Noticed in the comments here and in a few other sites that these vehicles are NOT made to be driven like an 18 wheeler (all over, all the time). They are designed for 'short term missions' --- visiting family, etc. Thanks for all you share.

If you are looking at living full-time in a trailer or RV have you looked at what that trailer is built for. Recreational trailers and RV's are built as holiday homes and designed to be used for a few weeks per year in reasonable weather. They are not designed to stand up to full-time living, traveling or winter weather. If that is your plan, you may need to be looking at the sort of Trailers built for fairground people or other nomadic groups that ARE designed for this as are mobile offices or other site buildings. The main difference is weight. I have a holiday-style 26ft travel trailer that weighs about 2 1/2 tons. I have lived in it for a few months when doing contracts away from home. I also have a site office that is converted into a workshop. That one is only 20 feet but weighs about twice as much. The difference is it has a steel roof and aluminum siding, walls on built-on 2x4 studs with R20 insulation, Inside is paneled out in 1/4 inch plywood. Woodwork is solid wood not vynal-coated MDF. In other words it is built like a house on wheels.

Thank you for being honest. I could not live like that, constantly on the road. The small spare will bring me to loose my mind. The transient nature is not good and not healthy both to the body or the soul. I will be scared when it comes to health services or emergency. It is good you realized all those things and brought it to our attention.

I lived in a camp trailer for 7 weeks while my house was being built, It sucked! I thought I would save money by doing it. Not at all. And it was to stressful. I grew up camping a lot with my family it was wonderful. I just new this would be fun! But it was not. I learned really fast that it was a lot of work and i had to do everything myself, mom and dad was not there doing what they always did to make it fun for us kids. So i cant do rv life style, besides i missed my stuff that was in storage!!! I still think its fun to watch you guys and what you are doing! You are such a cute couple. So dont ever stop doing what you are doing PLEASE!!!!

Hey Guys. We are brand new to this RV life. while at the moment we are stationary to help out and elderly lady for the winter. We do have plans to take a tour across some States and Canada in the better weather. We gave up our dream of a sheep farm to live in the RV. It is my husband myself our 15 yr old son and 2 cats and a dog. So far we love it.

My biggest pet peeve is portions. As a solo camper , and in stationary life as well, portions for one are hard to find. When camping, keeping leftovers can be a hassle, as refrigerator space is limited. I hate wasting food, but leftover BBQ just doesn't cut it for breakfast. Nothing to break the bank. Still you can special order left handed scissors, but try finding a single pork chop!😢

I retired 4 years ago, sold the brick and stick, and hit the road. Kinda. We already had a lot and park model trailer in Gatlinburg. We spent last winter in Florida in our class A. So just a little more room than y'all. But you're right. It's not all I expected. Inside all this is small, but I love my den.... which is the great outdoors.
