Me and my Hunny have been on the road full time since mid March. We've had so many wonderful experiences and created so many memories that we wouldn't have had otherwise! One of the things that has made this transition flow is we changed out the traditional plastic rv toilet and replaced it with a porcelain potty as well as installed a bidet. GAME CHANGING!
Wife and I RVed for 5 years. Now we are camping 24/7 in our house way out in the sticks. Our closest neighbor is a mile away. There are stars galor at night. Now we do take our travel trailer once in awhile. But only to see relatives and such. Or hit a hot fishing place. Love your videos!
Likewise, occasional trips work for us now. We almost went full time 2 years ago but wisely decided to test the waters first. After spending 5 months on the road we learned Dorothy was right, “there’s no place like home!” On our remote property our closest neighbors are wildlife- deer, turkeys, birds, raccoons, rabbits, bobcats and also domestic animals - chickens, cows, horses from the neighboring hobby farm….Why would anyone in their right mind leave this to be parked sometimes as close as 2’ apart in an RV park?!
Loved this UA-cam. We are getting ready to move into a fifth wheel full time but using it as a home base. Being married to a retired career Coastie, i miss moving every 3 years. This way, if we move, we can take our house with us.
Great video, you guys are terrific, especially the bloopers! One thing I've learned: if the sewer hose develops a leak, don't try to repair it, it's not worth it, buy a new one! Don't ask how I know! Ah, the memories!

Love your videos like the bloopers also funny been in a campground for 16 years loved it was quiet spent weekends there cause was still working and you do have to know how to fix things, replaced hot water heater fix blade on air conditioner blade broke and 90 degrees outside with 3 kids sleeping had to get that fixed quick or we will be going home.
Good video. Yep, RVing is NOT for everyone. Camping is NOT for everyone. But you're absolutely right, everyone should at least try it. Rent a camper, Class A, B or C to give it a try!
Loved camping for years. Have had tent to fifth wheel, now retired to small trailer. The pandemic rush on campers has made just getting a site difficult. Used to get sites weeks ahead, now a struggle. And glampers often very noisy. Have met great people and enjoy meeting family at sites, have made good friends, but on the other side, have listened to very loud round the clock partying and very impaired people in dark dangerous areas getting lost and injured. Be reasonable and it’s fun for everyone.
My dream is to first rent an RV for a weekend trip locally to try it out! But eventually, once my husband retires for good I want to buy an RV and switch to home hemodialysis (the kind with needles) with a portable machine called NxStage that is designed to fit in an RV or a boat! One patient rafted down The Grand Canyon while hooked to the machine! He had pictures to prove it too! Sadly he passed away but he was a professional photographer and traveled the world with his portable hemodialysis machine! My husband would help me with my treatments and already does my needles!
Great upload my friend. I’m still not convinced to stop RVing lol. We had to fix things from the road. Every time it happens it’s very scary. After we get over it we always remember the experience.
so me and my two partners are living full time locally in a travel trailer and pickup....and on the learn to fix it yourself aspect i cannot agree more...we have one awesome bonus in our household one of my two partners used to build motorhomes professionally so that is a wonderful bonus.
My parents were full time RVers. I have been talking about it for a few years. My daughter is like Mom, you can do this let's get you into a motorhome, so you don't have to buy a truck. For the first time in a long time, I am in a place where I can pull this off! Funny thing is that I have lived in over fifty houses, and I am only 58 years old. The idea of being able to move without having to pack up a house. I move so often that I now only take that which will fit in the back of my VW bug! People say, you will have to downsize... No, I think I will be upsizing my stuff! LMBO!
I understand that you guys are coming up the east coast. We are in Elizabethtown PA, it would be nice to meet you all if you are close to here. Etown is between Harrisburg and Lancaster.
Keep your eyes open on the community tab of the channel! We will announce any meet ups there and ya never know, maybe we will see you around the campground
Love your video's and now this one 🤣🤣 So many things I can relate as living FT in our 2016 5th wheel. And I so miss those long warm/hot showers. It sure is an experience even though we haven't travelled much but will in the near future.
Thanks for the info. I got a question. Since you been RV full time for the last 5 years. How does your kids deal with education? How do they go to school?
I don't care about having the black tank. My number one thing is the cost. Diesel pushers are not cheap and neither is the servicing. Fortunately we have Aqua Hot. So as long as we have full hookups you can shower as long as you want. And that water is darn hot! 🥵
BJ! I ran into Vonn a last week and he told me you were doing these videos. I hope you can stop by and say Hi next time you and your family are in Piedmont/Black Hawk. Glad to see you are doing well Ben! Maybe we can go watch Chris fall off the Dimond T swing set again. You're ole Friend, JD
It's bad when the guy jumps in first for half hour when everyone else has to just pee . We had a one bathroom house one time , you look at the kitchen sink.

Having a hot shower for my hubby was very important. We got a tankless water heater. The dealer included it and installed it!!! We are loving it.

Same situation here! Still love the videos for info when we do decide to hit the road.

Never mess with a sewer hose. lol
Literally everything u offer is helpful. You’re so inspiring and I am thankful for your videos here on UA-cam!!!!
Thank you!

That Unique method is amazing. It has changed us for that part. So on the reasons not to, but it's worth it to us for the memories and experiences.
👍🏻
Bloopers are the best!
Thanks!
Ha ha ha, thanks!
And, you're right, the camping trip I remember most is the one when the tent caught fire and my father got burned on his arm.
😲
The condo sale is in eight days; and I'm fulltime from that point. :)

I love watching your videos, thanks
Appreciate your watching
🤣Ben trying to put a lawnmower into the RV was hilarious! 🤣🤣 Great info guys! Thank you.
Thanks for watching! And yeah, I had to put the kabosh on the mower 😂
Great upload my friend. I’m still not convinced to stop RVing lol. We had to fix things from the road. Every time it happens it’s very scary. After we get over it we always remember the experience.
The best way to have great memories is sometimes the things that go wrong.
@@GratefulGlamper I agree. You are right about that.
Nice bid, and informative, I especially loved the scene where Ben was bringing the lawn mower into the rig. :-)
so me and my two partners are living full time locally in a travel trailer and pickup....and on the learn to fix it yourself aspect i cannot agree more...we have one awesome bonus in our household one of my two partners used to build motorhomes professionally so that is a wonderful bonus.
Great video concept. Well done. Cheers
Thanks!
Buzzy bugs are the worst! Happy camping guys! :)
I liked the 9 reason’s but the best is number 10. And that Ben,, “my hero” holding the toilet up for 25 minutes! 😂😂
It’s a nasty job, but somebody has got to do it! Glad I’m someone’s hero! -Ben
Hubby got spoiled by a hotel suite for 5 days. Now he's pouting that he has to go back to RV. 😆 🤣
😂

Hahaha first ones pretty rough, true, but I like my own private potty to sit on 🤣
Lol me too. I almost never use the bathrooms in the campgrounds.
We love having our own bathroom too. But you gotta take the good with the bad.
Number 2 is so true! 👍
👍🏻

You definitely need the bacteria!! When we get our new RV we will be checking out Unique!!
👍🏻
Love this one! LOL happy wife happy life!!! Love the bloopers!
Thanks for watching 💙
Love the bloopers and the info😄
Thanks for watching
come up to NY, the Upstate NY area is beautiful in the Summer! Check out the Cooperstown - Otsego County area and then the Finger Lakes area.
Good to know! We have that on our short list.
LOL!! Love it, and you are not wrong!!
Good reasons, but I don’t see me quitting anytime soon!
👍🏻
Wow guys that was great
Thank you!
Thanks for the info. I got a question. Since you been RV full time for the last 5 years. How does your kids deal with education? How do they go to school?
I love #10!
First True review of a RV live! Thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching
my parents always stopped at a the historic marker alongside the road!
💙
I don't care about having the black tank. My number one thing is the cost. Diesel pushers are not cheap and neither is the servicing. Fortunately we have Aqua Hot. So as long as we have full hookups you can shower as long as you want. And that water is darn hot! 🥵
👍🏻 👍🏻
Love seeing the bloopers
💙
Great video! Thanks
Thanks so much for watching!
Ahh reverse psychology. Trying to clear out those campgrounds. I gotcha! 😉
😉
I take hot showers as long as i want just use the electric and gas option combined 🤷♂️
BJ! I ran into Vonn a last week and he told me you were doing these videos. I hope you can stop by and say Hi next time you and your family are in Piedmont/Black Hawk. Glad to see you are doing well Ben! Maybe we can go watch Chris fall off the Dimond T swing set again. You're ole Friend, JD
Great great advice. Mary
Thanks for watching
LOL ...so true in so many ways!
love this one
You deserve the food brought to you in a cool place after dealing with all the bugs and nature on this one! 😘❤🙏Jane
Lol, right!?! 😂 thanks for watching
Love you guys! I hope to run into you some time on the road.
Ya never know! We love meeting people on the road.
Good stuff.....
You’ve effectively talked me out of it. Thanks 😊
😉
Great advice. I want to live that life but my husband is a chicken.🐔🐔🐔🐔
Do you feel like it is a good idea to caravan with rv'ers when first starting out, to learn from?
It can be helpful but not required.
"I need you to probably, like, shave it..." LOL
😉
It's bad when the guy jumps in first for half hour when everyone else has to just pee . We had a one bathroom house one time , you look at the kitchen sink.
😂
Thanks!
Have you experienced palmetto bugs
On occasion
You two are so cute 😍
Thank you!
Wait, you forgot Number 11 reason....?
Did you film this at Kelly Park?
Wekiwa
Out of toilet paper, aways keep a roll or two in the bathroom .
OK, I will .... Go RVing or not go RVing ....
😉
Campsites are annoying….in many ways…
🤷♀️ Its cheaper than a $500k house. And its better than being trapped to that house once you sink your whole life into it.😏
Heyyyyy
Heeey
😁😆😅🤣👍👍
Yes, no one buys an RV to save money!
For sure!
Not those RVing by choice anyway.
Whatever tickles your twinkie, 😄😄😄
😂
Happy wife, happy life. Verses MGTOW.
I don’t like it when people pick out their eye boogers and then look at them. I can’t believe how many people do that.
Ugh
