Why I Moved Into a 40’ Trailer & Out Of My Camper Van

Why I Moved Into a 40’ Trailer & Out Of My Camper Van - TOUR the NEW RIG!

DESCRIPTION
Tour my new 40’ Keystone Residence Destination Trailer after I moved out of my 21’ Winnebago Travato 59GL Class B RV.
Moving out of my Van is part of resetting my life after traveling and living full-time in my Camper Van. Creating a Home Base from which I plan, depart for a trip, and then return after a few days, weeks, or months… like many of you do.

ABOUT
Howdy! My name is Scott. In 2017, I was unhappy with a traditional house (aka, storage unit) and a long Chicago commute. In 2018, I reinvented my life which included buying a Winnebago Travato GL Camper Van. Now in my 5th year of full-time travel in my Class B RV, I help others achieve their RV travel dreams more quickly and more fully. Thanks for watching and being part of the Go Small. Live Large!

If you have a “home base”, is it a traditional house, another (larger) RV or Park Model, or acreage with a building or RV? Thanks for watching this video. Exclusive content at www.patreon.com/GoSmallLiveLarge More info and in-person meet-n-greets at gosmalllivelarge.com Journey on !!

Funny story. My home base is a sticks-and-stones suburban single-family home with my office attached, and a few years ago I pulled together enough scratch to buy a good B or B-plus. After considering whether my descendants should ultimately inherit a pile of colorful rust or something with potentially appreciating value, I opted to shop for acreage to improve over time and park a modest travel trailer there, so OBVIOUSLY I bought a little ranch with a little house already on it. As one does. Downsides: It gets terrible mileage and I'll never be able to fit it into a campsite at a National Park. Upsides: it's within a couple hours of town so it actually gets USED from time to time as I tackle various projects, the costs are not much more than those of owning an RV, it will never blow a tire and careen off the road, all the appliances are full size, the water tank never runs dry (because it's a deep well), the black tank never gets full (because it's septic with a large drainage field), and the propane tank is ENORMOUS (because it's an enormous propane tank). There are also dozens of good small-town restaurants of impressively varied cuisine within a half hour in any direction. It's located in [REDACTED]. I may yet build a pad and "dock" for a travel trailer.

Congratulations on beginning a new chapter! You haven't let anyone down at all. With respect...I have one thing to say about your firearm. Even though the exact location of your van won't be published, 41 thousand subscribers now know you have a firearm in the van which isn't in a safe. Your van is unique, easily identifiable and also could be broken into for no reason other than a random break in. Please wherever you decide to keep it, hide it and secure it so it's not easily accessible to others besides you.

Great video.I am at 79 looking to adventure for the first time travel extensively in a van with the thought of establishing a home base after a year.There is so much I want to see as a wildlife photographer.My point is to ask for info on your trailer as a possible destination after traveling if you could.I live now in Florida and want to return at some point in the future. Best of luck to you.

Scott, you haven’t let anyone down!! I can’t even tell you how much you’ve helped me with making difficult van life decisions over the years. Because of you, I got brave enough to buy a van, and understood what I was doing from the get go, instead of trying to learn it all on my own, the hard ways. I love you, and I’m so happy for you. I do hope you will still do videos of your travels, or even just your daily life :). I don’t think I could bear it if you went off KZfaq completely. I’d feel like I’d be losing a dear friend. God bless! Enjoy your new home!! Its gorgeous!

The gorilla putty tip is what I needed for an art piece I bought off Cheri Ducrow. It's an awesome trumpet with a beautiful multi colored paint splash all over it with a blue-tooth speaker at the end of the horn. I want it in the corner of my counter top of my Embassy and it has to stay put when driving. I'm really hoping the putty works for that.🏁

Congratulations on your decision to explore other possibilities. Having a home base makes sense. There are several RV'rs who have a home base they have turned into a AirB&B which IMO is smart, making the most of what you have. From watching RV video I was shocked at the many really nice state parks in Florida. I have lived in FL since the mid 80's and never realized there was so many, there are also many historic towns / cities in FL that IMO would be of interest to your viewers. Good luck in this next phase of your journey. Thank you for sharing.

Scott, I'm happy to see that you are looking so much more relaxed. I haven't been able to get on the road yet, but I came to the conclusion around the time The Russos quit full time that a homebase + RV or Van Camper for trips is the way to go! Resy1 is awesome. I could easily live in a space like that.🏁

You will mostlikely enjoy your new Keystone home base "Res1 cool 😎 name". Husband and I looked at 2 different Keystone models as a home base, 1 of those had the same Floorplan as yours. Very nice for comfortable stays in one location 👍. We ultimately decided to go with a Dutch Star Motorcoach. For our needs having two fully motorized travel options, our Van/Airstream and also the Motorcoach worked best for our regional travels. The Keystone models 😍 were very comfy (home like) for use as a true home base! Good 👍 Choice.

Good for you Scott. I have a 59KL National Park edition I’ve been traveling in, across the US and Canada for the past several years. I was motivated by Joe and Kait Russo when I met them back in 2015, I also have a home in SoCal so my time on the road might be anywhere from a couple weeks to 6 months. I’ve learned to keep a complete wardrobe, meds and non-perishable necessities in my van all the time. That way I can hit the road at a moments notice without a lot of preplanning. It really just comes down to a matter of getting groceries. Just a tip while your rig is sitting idle,,,make sure you check your toilet every week or so,,,if you don’t keep water in the bowl the casket will dry out. You have no responsibility to us subscribers/viewers Scott. You are giving us a glimpse into your personal life; we enjoy and get something from it. Thank you and good luck with your new chapter.

@jillclement5977 Ай бұрын

We are just starting our RV journey with a 2022 (new to us) RoadTrek Chase. We are trying to keep our van semi-stocked. We find that using packing cubes is an easy way to bring in laundry, wash it and then put it right back in the van. Another thing we are trying hard to do is to gas up and clean the van immediately when we return from a trip, which reduces between trip fatigue and means the van is always ready to go. The one mistake we’ve made so far is leaving dark chocolate bars in the pantry. That did not work out when the van got really hot. Best wishes on your current chapter. I hope you will continue to make content when it’s comfortable for you. We like your channel a lot. My husband says if I ever leave him, he’s getting your model van. We would have bought that model, but I just couldn’t bring myself to try to go from our at-home king-size for that tiny bed. Lol

I think not using the van and storing is the scary part. Will I have dead batteries even turning the disconnect on? Yes, having a home base is great with the van close to check on has been a stress reliever and love having it mostly packed and just having to pack clothes and food for travel. Congrats on the new life style. Welcome to the part-time Rv life! Watched to the end…have fun with this next life chapter😉
