Hey Doug! Sounds like you’ve got a great trip with good people and lots of fun ahead of you! We have been having so much fun in New England this summer, it has been hard to find the time to edit and post! Sorry about that😞. We will be in this one spot for a while so I will try to get some things posted. Y’all take care and have a great trip!

Another honest review! Good to hear from you! Hope y’all are doing well!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you! Can’t wait to meet you!

Yes, we have weighed it a few times. The last time, it was 14,300, so we need to make some adjustments! So glad you found us! Thanks for watching and for your comment!!

You are more than welcome to laugh! And I completely understand, SPAM, isn’t for everyone. Thanks so much for your comment!

Thank you for your comment! We look forward to spending time there in the future!

No, ma’am. There are not “tons” of crossings anywhere in this area. We speak with border control agents and they report little activity. As we stated in the video, the area is very safe.

They do move easily but they stay on just fine. I thought the same thing when I first got mine. Hope this helps!

@@FoxPartyOf3 I bought some from trailer but they seem to big so I checked the SnapPad web sight and they said to go with the 5.5inch!! Even though the round jack foot is 5.75inch, they said 5.5inch fits perfect on Reico-titan!! So I'll see if I can get those from e-trailer (same price as SP) Thanks for the reply

Great! So sorry if we steered you wrong! We are enjoying ours. Definitely feels like we get a good solid footing when we put the jacks down.

@@FoxPartyOf3 No problem, I should have gone to the source "SnapPad" web sight first, you have a newer TC, ours is a 2018 AF1140 so there may be some slight differences in the feet. I'll let ya know how it all works out. Be safe and have fun!

Congratulations on your up coming retirement! Don’t fear it! Honestly, as far as the family is concerned, we have seen family (and friends) way more than we ever did living in our house. Remember, we are retired military and did not live in one town our whole lives. Family and friends are spread all over the country and we are having a blast seeing them along the way!

Yay!! So glad you spotted us and took the time to come here to let us know! We love hearing about these encounters! Did you see us today? We were on our way to Hershey Park!

That is an excellent question! The state of Texas issues 2 tags but requires them to be on the front and rear of the vehicle. So we do put them on the camper because it would not be visible if it stayed on the rear bumper of the truck. We use twist ties to put it on the camper and we will remove it and place it on the rear bumper of the truck whenever we drop the camper. Hope that helps! And thanks for your questions and taking the time to comment!

@@FoxPartyOf3 Thank you very much. I appreciate your time. Enjoy your camper.

You are very welcome!

Thank you so much! We love our little house and look forward to returning to it someday! We feel like it is the perfect size for us and I had a lot of fun buying things for it. Really appreciate your kind words!

We look forward to enjoying our time there!

It is the RV Casita model. I am attaching a link which should show you all models available in Retama Village. They are starting a new phase of the development. www.esperanzahomes.com/new-homes/tx/mission/retama-village-55-at-bentsen-palm/4105/

Also try doing a Zillow search with Retama Village in the search parameters to see homes for resale.

That is most unfortunate. Thanks for the heads up. We are 8 months and 1500 miles in and so far, so good. We actually love it and love the way it has enhanced our lifestyle as full timers in the truck camper.

@@FoxPartyOf3 wow you're lucky. Also bad fuel pumps

Ok. We will keep an eye on that, too. And, thanks again for the heads up. Wally is adding some coolant as I type!

@@FoxPartyOf3 uht oh. May be the beginning of a leak

Sure! It’s a Versahaul from etrailer.com and it holds up 600 lbs. We have other videos specifically on the rack.

Sounds great!! Hope to see you down the road!

Actually the sleeve which broke is metal.

Thanks, Doug! We put ours out a lot. We might see how long the temporary fix will last. Hope y’all enjoy your time on the road!

Thank you so much! Thank goodness for Duck Tape!

Awesome! Thanks!! Happy to help!!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Your FB question has inspired us to do another video about storage and living in the camper so stayed tuned! Feel free to friend me on FB and reach out anytime. We are happy to help! Looking forward to the possibility of crossing paths!

Oh! I never thought about using the microwave! I thought that was just for popcorn!😂

It’s a great shirt!! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment!

I don’t think it’s spicy at all (and we are wimps when it comes to spicy food!) It’s actually sweet. I’m sure you could make it spicy but we will pass on that!

No, I haven’t rinsed it, so I will have to give that a try. I’ve never had these issues cooking rice when I was in a house. Just a propane stovetop learning curve! Thanks so much for your comment and all of your helpful tips!👍

@@FoxPartyOf3 , you are welcome. I cook on a gas stove at home and prefer that to my previous electric cooktop. I feel like it's easier to control the heat with gas. However, if you don't have a "small" burner that you can turn down really low, it can be tricky to not burn delicate stuff like rice. I hope it works out.😁

Thank you , Dave! We appreciate your comments! Always great to hear from you! Take care.

Of course, it tin foil!!😂 Oh gosh! I stay behind!! Thanks for putting up with me! Here is a link to the T-shirt. Take care!! Funny Living My Okayest Life... www.amazon.com/dp/B07NMMRY5Y?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Thanks for the comment! I always find local colloquialism so interesting. Jill grew up in VA but has not lived there in over 34 years but she can’t seem to break the use of “tin foil”.

I think we called it both aluminum as well as tin foil. The latter when we weren’t trying to impress the neighbors. 🤣😂 It’s good to see y’all back in the camper.

Hi Jack! Thanks for your comment! This is a concern we have as we get older, but so far we seem to be managing fine. I’m not sure what daily things you are concerned about because we find it very easy to drive and set up. I am concerned about getting in and out of the rig and climbing into the bed as we get older so we are considering a Super C but that kind of change would be years down the road. Right now we are happy and comfortable! Thanks again and take care!

We didn’t!! We made arrangements to meet a family member in ID before we crossed the border to hand off some things we did not want to take across the border. No one should attempt to cross the border with a weapon. Canada has their laws which must be respected just as we would expect foreigners to respect our laws when they come to our country.

Not so sure about all of that, but we are having fun and that’s my American Dream!

We currently have some personal items in the house, so at this point we are only letting family us it. We could rent out the rv pad and back porch. I’ll double check with Wally about the going rate.

There are other casitas in this community that are available for rent.

@@kaylap2205 Thanks

Thanks so much! That’s a great question! The house did not come with gutters and down spouts. We will put them on at some point. I did see several homes with rain chains coming off the roof instead of having a downspout.

It was $184k and some change and the HOA is under $130 per month.

Thank you! There are links to specific pieces of furniture in the description.😊

Thanks for your comment!

This community is a mix of seasonal and full-time homes. There is always someone watching out. Also, it is gated. Border Patrol are on the roads, on horseback and in the air constantly. All of us have the number for Border Patrol on speed-dial and they are very responsive.

Thanks so much for your input. We were aware of Border Patrol and feel completely safe there. We also feel comfortable about leaving the property for our travels.

Thanks so much for your comment!

Not really, but thanks!

We love the size and felt like this was perfect for us and checked all the boxes for us! Thanks for your comment!

Thank you so much! We love it!

Thanks so much, Dave! We think we will really enjoy it! Take care!

Ours was around $184,000 but there were some upgrades. The HOA appears to $130 per month and includes personal lawn care and mowing. We paid $160 per month to our landscaper in our previous home AND $100 per month for HOA dues. Plus the taxes on that house were over $1000 per month. It was a great house but all of that was insane. I love this little casita and all of the freedom it provides us!

Thank you so much, Doug!! We heard about the tornadoes and are so saddened by the loss of lives and property. It is devastating. We hope you will be able to get out on the road soon!! Take care!!
