Indeed... My wife & I really enjoyed this video, including that bit and the funny video clips inserted. We did also pause the video to grab a couple adult beverages when prompted (honey bourbon for her and peppermint vodka for me). We will check out more of their content.
Former RV Technician here. Fun fact: If you don't have enough storage, make more! The "maintenance panels" that are held on with screws under the fridge or stove or sinks actually have a lot more space in them. If you don't mind setting stuff next to pipes or circuit boards, doing this will open up more storage options.
You did an outstanding job on this video. So much work! Love the move clips. Lots of good tips, too. If there are any UA-cam contests, you should submit this one! Thanks so much for being excellent.
Lol...we have stock as well. In fact, went to Target here in OK and found they have an entire aisle dedicate to Command Strips. I even found a cute acrylic knob to put up in the bedroom behind the door for hanging jewelry.
To help with space in the kitchen, swap out the faucet for one that uses one of the three holes. Use the remaining two holes to add built in hand soap and dish soap dispensers. Buy a butcher block cutting board add it to the end of the counter as a flip up countertop extension. Place your trash can under the flip up extension to free up under sink space. In the bathroom you can add hotel style towel rack. Just make sure to mount them to the studs on an interior wall. You never want to put any holes in the exterior walls. They are vacuum bonded with foam insulation and some have a special vapor barrier to ensure the interior stay comfortable. Any moisture seeping into these holes gets trapped and can cause issues over time. For even more space, use space saver bags. Even if you don't have a vacuum, you can still squeeze and roll most of the air out of bulky items like accent pillows, extra blankets and winter coats in these bags too allow more stuff to fit in the cabinet or storage space. When buying a new trailer or replacing tires always insist on Nitrogen filled tires. They are less likely to blow out due to heat from road friction or super hot road surfaces. Additionally make sure the tire is rated for your specific trailer and anticipated driving conditions. Not all trailer tires are equal. Spending more to upgrade your tires could save you thousands in repairs from a blowout. Many blowouts at freeway speeds do cause damage to the under side of the trailer. Depending on your floorplan, water lines, electrical, plumbing, and slide room motors/hydraulic lines could be torn apart by a blown tire. Trailers do not have wheel well liners or any protection from a blowout. Another possible cause for blow outs within the first few miles is being overloaded. The tires on trailers in this price point are not great to begin with. However, they should still last a few thousand miles in the first season. Granted, older tires with less miles are likely to blow out from dry rot if not stored and protected from environmental damage during the off season. Never use tires showing signs of rot or deterioration. These signs are cracking, bulging or bubbles in the sidewall or not holding air. Remember the sidewalls of the tire is what's carrying all the weight and absorbs all of the humps and bumps from the road. Our passenger vehicles have many components to our suspension to cope with the weight and bumps in the road. Most trailers are equipped with simple leaf springs. These leaf springs are designed to keep your trailer from going airborne when it hits potholes. It is the tires that do most of the work. Don't skimp when it comes to those seemingly insignificant tires. I hope this family sent their receipts in for reimbursement for the new tire and rim if it was damaged. Like everything else, the tires do have a warranty too. On the warranty side of things...... If you plan to go full-time, it's important to know only a few RVs are designed for and allow for full-time living while honoring the warranty. This is only important when purchasing an RV with a warranty. If the unit is not for full-time use and you file a warranty claim while living in the RV full-time the manufacturer may void the warranty completely. Full-time RVs are made to a higher standard in order to hold up to constant use. The voided warranty only applies to the RV manufacturer. Most, if not all, the appliances and other components with their own manufacturer warranties are still valid. Also not any modifications to any item being serviced under warranty must not be altered or taken apart by anyone other than the service individual authorized by the manufacturer. Do not ever attempt to repair any component under warranty. Even though it's not working, any sign of the component being tampered with could void the warranty. Thus leaving you with the repair bill. Once the sale is done, your relationship with the salesperson is over. Most don't live the RV lifestyle. And thus can't relate or even help when issues arise. However,li!e always, there are exceptions to the rule. On rare occasions you might get a sales individual who loves camping and/or RVing themselves or is someone who pride's themself on going above and beyond for their customers. This type of individual loves their job and will have ample product knowledge and experience. Which is what all of us want but most will never find. I still haven't found that magical, elusive, and desired sales person. Anywho..... back to the real topic of all your excellemt and creative solutions. Really great solutions. I don't know how you managed to prep and cook a meal in that closet size kitchen. It's small than most kitchenettes.😆. Cooking for two would be difficult. But cooking for five would be virtually impossible! Although, to be fair, a lot of meals are cooked outside during a typical camping trip. And to defend the manufacturer, this unit is not designed for full-time use for two, let alone five. To be honest, I don't know how the five of you, plus your golden managed so long in such a small trailer. It certainly makes me appreciate the tremendous space I have even more. Thank for sharing you tons and tricks. As well as sharing your journey! Cheers from Seattle... Oh and Happy Holidays. I think the Christmas tree will fit and look best on the roof. Wire those plastic ornaments on real good 😉
lmfao!!! love the clips!! but what's funny and cute at the same time is that she's showing us everything but the hubs/camera man doesn't take the camera off of her. too cute!!
We just bought our first RV this weekend and get it in a few days, so obviously as a compulsive planner I had to find out ALL THE THINGS I need to make it more "homey" and functional. Found this video...and now I once again want to pack up our four kids and Golden Retriever and travel the country in our new digs! LOVE this video. I got to make a list *and* crack up at the same time - that's a win! Thanks for the tips. Off to subscribe to your channel and check out more videos. You guys are so much fun to watch!
That video was hilarious! You matched what Trish was talking about perfectly with the video clips. I was rolling on the floor laughing. You need to insert those kind of clips into your videos more often. Big thumbs up! The blooper reel at the end was the 'pièce de résistance'!
Thanks Slim! This video is still our favorite. We didn't want another boring RV tour and got this idea when Trish pulled out the silverware drawer and said "This is all I need". Reminded me of the movie - Jerk and then I kept going!
Hello, Tricia, I am a newbie to this RV lifestyle. I'm learning the how to's and what nots through y'all. I've watched a couple of your video's...thank you for speaking in basic language and in a fun way. Keep up the great work.
Lol! The Command strip drinking game. I do happen to have a beer at the moment. Totally playing! 😂 Great, funny video, and learned of lots of great ideas. 👌
Outstanding job, well done. I was actually entertained, lol. Keep the bloopers at the end, loved that the most! Ohhh! And the funny clips inserted during the tour. Thumbs up!
Part of my morning routine.....catching up on all the videos I have missed!!!! So much to learn and grateful to hear all your ideas, tips, etc......great job!!!!
My parents are thinking of buying an RV so we can travel all around the U.S, too. I love the idea, and they got it from you guys! We are a family of 5 as well. I really hope we end up doing this. You guys are awesome!!
Very cool. We full time in a 30' travel trailer and I'm a quilter. Learning to live tiny is a challenge, it's fun but it's only 2 of us and 1 little dog. Kudos to you for home schooling and giving your,children an adventure.
Thanks Diane... thanks. Did you catch the knitting materials in the tour? Yes, we're preparing for Season 2 and will be bring even less things with us! No sure where it will go!
I have seen a lot of RV Tours online but I have to say that yours is the best, great job! We look forward to watching more of your videos as we too are becoming F/T 'ers soon. Keep up the good work!
Best RV tour ever! Loved the movie out takes.. Especially the Jerk where he is going packing things... I laffed so hard! What a perfect analogy! Two tips I'm walking away with (thanks so much) The power strips with a USB! Of course, how brilliant. And the motion sensor lights in the over head cupboards... I too am short and can't see up in those upper cupboards in our Airstream, unless I get out the step stool, but sometimes it has to double as a step to get out of the trailer. Even if I installed a light up there I'd still have to "jump" up and switch on a light! Plus battery powered! Brilliant. Thanks guys... love your videos! Happy Trails...
Thanks so much! I thought it was funny. Loved the Jerk. "Someone doesn't like these cans!". Steve Martin is great. Glad this vid helped. Keep in touch.
I certainly will keep in touch. I am interested in your journey specifically because you are doing it in a travel trailer. I have a 15 passenger van and I will need to purchase a travel trailer. I am curious to see how you guys get around, where you park and camp and how you deal with your small space.
Dawn Lizarraga All good points. We'll be to include in future Q&A's. We almost bought a 8 passenger conversion van 3/4 ton. Would have nice pulling a trailer. Best of both worlds in my opinion.
I have 3 adopted kids and we are fostering 3 that might get adopted. It's hard for me to commit until last three are completed. Plus, we have previous foster kids that still visit. I want to cram everyone under 30 feet so we can have more choices to camp. I like your trailer. I am glad you pointed out why the triple bunk didn't work because I also saw a triple bunk under 30 feet. I would never have thought of having head space to sit up. Your video was extremely informative and funny as heck! You have a lovely family! I am enjoying the videos! The carwash video made me snort I laughed so much! Enjoy that land yacht! LOL
Love the storage ideas. Here's a tip for more counter top space. I use a cutting board that covers one half of the sink meeting your recommended two function task, more counter space and a cutting board. Say hi to the Griswolds. 🍷
This is amazing! We are in the market for an RV and I’m loving seeing how you utilize each space. I’m trying to convince my husband to live in our camper while we move across country, verses hotel living.
😍 Loved this video, nice tips & hacks. 👍Loved the movie clips & out takes you added too. A few of the movie clips I knew but at 7:28 I GOTTA KNOW the name movie / video clip with person cleaning the house who said "there can't be any sign of living this house". 🤣😂🤣 And at 10:18 I GOTTA KNOW the name of the movie clip with the guy in the bathroom needing bathroom tissue who says "Emma?"...then paperless tissue is slid under the door. Priceless. 😂🤣😂
Thank you! It was so much fun to edit. Do a search for Company is Coming and you'll find it. The toilet paper clip was from a paperless company in Europe. Can't remember where I got it. :)
Hats off to you guys. Them videos and being on the road with three kids, editing, and work can not be easy, but yall keep on, Good on yall! Great looking family
As already said, the video was great and your family is awesome. I loved the video because you are a family of 5 with a dog and so are we. In America, everything is built for the family of four and it gets on my nerves. Thank you for going into detail about where the kids sleep and more importantly how the third bed works out for you guys. Great insight.
Awesome. Good to hear from you. Yes, that 3rd kid is expensive! We saw many many RV's with a folding couch with a massive seem. We knew from renting condos on vacation that the kids would rebel from sleeping there.... and then what would we do? I suppose cut foam mattress to put over, but what a pain. The fewer things the better!
Yes, I am a stickler about organization. We have been reducing our stuff for years, but want the best way to organize everything. You have some wonderful tips in the walk-thru, but a video based on being minimal in an RV would be great!
Thanks for sharing ALL of these GR8 IDEAS & FUN #MovieClips Trish - A Tension Rod above Your Bed could Cover That Space/plastic Boxes with A Beautiful Valance or 2..
Well presented and very entertaining. I love the movie clips. My wife and I just purchased a motor home and all of your will tips apply. Everything has to be secured before you move.
Thanks for the fun video! We full-time newbies are taking some pointers from you for our videos. I love the part where you talk about making it look like it's not lived in. That sounds so much like my husband when we are filming. I can't even leave a pen laying on the table!! lol. subbed to your channel. Look forward to more vids. Safe travels!
We just bought our 24' class C 10 days ago and have only brought it down to the beach to watch the sunset, eat dinner and play some games. I like what you said about just doing it. The more videos I watch the more nervous I'm getting. After all, you don't know what you don't know! Thanks for the good humor and I do love the video clips. It shows that you are enjoying your life. I hope we can enjoy our trips as much as you are. Thanks! Jody
I stumbled upon episode 1 ( I don't know how for lucky I guess) its now 8:30 pm and I'm on episode 24 and I cant stop!!! You guys or solo awesome. Keep them coming. I'm pretty sure by the time I finish watching all of your videos I will be on jay way to purchasing an RV and getting the family on the road!
How have I gone this far without watching one of your videos, such similar lives, hope to catch up sometime, in Texas currently, we'll have to meet up some day
Likewise. Looks like we've been to some of the same places too. We were in White Sands in late November. Season 3 will be on the West Coast headed toward BC (if all goes to plan). Keep in touch! -Marc
Thx, really enjoyed the tour and great useful ideas! You guys are too cute! Yes, I'm up to date with each and every video. Always watching for the next video. Wishing you all safe and happy travels.
Welcome to our channel! Curious... did UA-cam rec. our channel? Or did you find us because they were on our podcast? In regards to the lights... there is a 1 sec delay before turning on and I see them pop on. They are our fav upgrade!
Been an RV owner for 25 years and recently upgraded from 85 camper to a 98 RV. You taught me about new RVs we used an old school spice rack right at the stove super handy. Yes the command strips are awesome using them in the new RV. Cheers
For the master closets I purchased a five slot wardrobe organizer that hangs off the rod. I can put pant/shorts on a shelf, shirts on another and so on. There is still a small gap to hang a few items if needed.
This is the best rv video. Much better than the ones at the dealerships. You are to cute and had awesome ideas. Thank you for taking the time to do your video...
Thanks to you and your family for creating this very informative video for those of us still looking for a bit of guidance and experience from those like you, before we make our leap.....
Ron S You are so welcome! We love creating and enjoy the community. There are many more videos like this being planed now. Lots on how to improve living in an RV and much more. :)
Tricia, thank you for the tour and great ideas. BTW....I laughed so much watching this. You crack me up. Mark is blessed to have you by his side. Must never have a dull moment. Larry
Im not sure how old this video is, but If you get on amazon or DIY magnetic spice tins and put them on oven hood! (most holds one normal sized spice jar amount) Might have to pull down before traveling but I LOVE this idea and has worked great for us!!! I have 12 spice containers! I put them on front and side of the hood, premade ones came with common spice labels too!
Great Editing job!!! Funniest Rv tour video we've seen. Trish, you missed your calling. A comedic tour guide. Thanks for the out-takes. We had a good chuckle.
So you know how you watch a video and can tell if you could actually hang out with those people or not...I could totally hang out with you guys. Love your humor. And learned SO many ideas for storage! Thanks!
I'm guessing from the context... you meant could and not couldn't :) We have even more fun off camera - some people think its an act... they just haven't hung out with us!
I originally started with this video when I was doing research on being new to RVing and it was a great help. A few more videos later and I was hooked and have started at the beginning of season 1 and am up to Episode 26...Thanks for all the useful info & laughs :)
Excellent tips on storage solutions. We used tension rods too, when we were RVing years ago. Since you're don't seem excited about your stove, how about getting a slow cooker or instant pot? We used a slow cooker (instant pots weren't invented yet!) and that worked out very well. The other tip I would say is treat the RV as a second home and buy it it's own set of towels, sheets, pots and pans and all the rest. This way, when you are getting ready to go, all you have to pack into the RV is your clothes and food. Everything else is already packed! This will save you tons of time and stress wondering if you remembered everything. Also, another tip, make up a really good first aid kit and not with just band aides and first aid cream. Include safety pins, various sizes of bandages, clothes that can be made into slings and so on. I hope everyone can benefit from these tips. (The first aide kit should be in everyone's car plus water bottles in case you ever have to leave home in a hurry.)
You guys are great. Thank you for sharing your trips. Just purchased a 2017 F150 with the 2.7 Ecoboost. In the process of install the Firestone Air Bags and your previous video showing the mistakes the were made on the installation was very helpful. Thanks again. Your efforts are much appreciated. Very entertaining too...
Oh, I did hear of an idea of hanging a basic curtain rod low on the wall as your coming into the travel trailer and it will hold your shoes. I'm going to give it a try when we go camping next weekend. Our kids are grown and we have 5 grandkids but we travel with a 5 yr old Siberian Husky & a 9 month old deaf Great Dane!
Great video. Loved the tour. Movie pop-ins were super funny. We use commando hooks in the shower for hanging wet swim suits. Also we saw where people used suck cups with string to hang their paper towel roll outside of the RV. (When BBQing). Small Dewalt shop vac doubles as a vacuum cleaner. Love the double duty idea. I stick to that when purchasing anything for the trailer.
so much very good information in such a short time. Delivery of information and funny clips very good! The editing and camera work made everything come together for a very good video with many laughs. Will need to watch to pick up all the storage ideas.
Thanks Dave. Many laughs editing it. Appreciate the comment. Trish has learned a new things over 5 months of rv living. She's made living in a travel trailer with a family easier.
Hi Trish, Marc & Family, We total love your RV tour especially the end with the bloppers and the wine/Modello salute. You asked fir suggestions of making things easier. The smaller metal hook command strips placed on the inside door of cabinet or on wall by stove make great hangers for cooking utensils. Hugs to you and yours. Sandy & Jay Livesay
Ah! Good question. A door to the outside. And the reason it didn't occur to us to show it is the broken awning from NYC is blocking the door. We normally use that door as much as the main door. ua-cam.com/video/hydgH5hlFMc/v-deo.html
you can save that top drawer by putting your spices in magnetic tins and sticking them to a medal cookie sheet/or magnetic knife holder on the side of your oven from the dollar store. ...check them out on pinterest... loved the tour! and thanks for the shout out on the last video, my 7 year old got all excited! keep having fun! safe travels!!
I don't full-time RV< but I do bugout camping due to hurricane state and living on the coast w/ a camper. one tip I have is - pack your clothes in totes and keep stackable similar totes that are short height to neatly fold and store dirty in and swap them after laundry is done. the point is : you can store them in the tub/shower during travel, and keep them there when camping where shower facility is available. and use the entire shower as storage w/ low-cost shelving to separate everyones clothing supply - wrinkle free shirt requirements store in the closet spaces and more room for other stuff.
Real people - real solutions. Love it. Your videos help greatly in my planning stages of RVing around the country. Thank you for taking the time to share !

What!?
ROTFL!
You guys are awesome.
Lol. This was the most fun to edit. Glad I could get another video out during the week too.
Charles Ball - Yes, it's where the videos are edited, right? Because, you know, a family oriented channel. :)
with a babe like you have i understand.... very cute family. great editing.
Indeed... My wife & I really enjoyed this video, including that bit and the funny video clips inserted. We did also pause the video to grab a couple adult beverages when prompted (honey bourbon for her and peppermint vodka for me). We will check out more of their content.
I literally cracked up at that. I love these two!

Great tip. We just discovered that yesterday. An entire area below the sink!
You did an outstanding job on this video. So much work! Love the move clips. Lots of good tips, too. If there are any UA-cam contests, you should submit this one! Thanks so much for being excellent.
You're too kind. Thanks! Trish makes it easy. RV tours do really well on UA-cam... so hopefully this video ranks well. :)
This has to be the funniest video yet on RV living... Command Strips - take a drink.. lol
Lol...we have stock as well. In fact, went to Target here in OK and found they have an entire aisle dedicate to Command Strips. I even found a cute acrylic knob to put up in the bedroom behind the door for hanging jewelry.

This was the most entertaining video yet, two thumbs up.
That's great. On perhaps one of the most boring topics (except for RVers). So that's great news. Thanks for the comment.
lmfao!!! love the clips!! but what's funny and cute at the same time is that she's showing us everything but the hubs/camera man doesn't take the camera off of her. too cute!!
you're so cute in your delivery! Nice 'bloopers' at the end too!
Tricia should be invited to participate in Dancing with the Stars.
Maribeth P she does have nice bloopers.😉...
Tricia, you remind me of a cross between Miranda Lambert and Reese Witherspoon. I love your fun and spunky attitude!
We just bought our first RV this weekend and get it in a few days, so obviously as a compulsive planner I had to find out ALL THE THINGS I need to make it more "homey" and functional.

Love this, so cute! You totally remind me of Reese Witherspoon BTW :)
Definitely Reese W.
Thank you for inviting us into your home! You are a gracious hostess and your home is lovely. I enjoyed the tips on saving space.
Loved the video. The short clips made me laugh out loud several times.
Hello, Tricia, I am a newbie to this RV lifestyle. I'm learning the how to's and what nots through y'all. I've watched a couple of your video's...thank you for speaking in basic language and in a fun way. Keep up the great work.
Welcome Karen. Keep in touch. Ask anything.
Love this. Behind the scenes of how life really works in an RV is fantastic.
Thanks! We enjoyed making this video.
Lol! The Command strip drinking game. I do happen to have a beer at the moment. Totally playing! 😂 Great, funny video, and learned of lots of great ideas. 👌
Cheers!
Outstanding job, well done. I was actually entertained, lol. Keep the bloopers at the end, loved that the most! Ohhh! And the funny clips inserted during the tour. Thumbs up!
I bought those lights (In the cupboards) when you mentioned them earlier. We love them. Thanks!!
Awesome. They are our favorite upgrade so far. Little things that make a big difference. I just bought 3 more... I'm sure I'll find a place for them.
I loved this video! You guys crack me up! Very creative!
Michelle Edwards thx! Out fav so far.

Two tips I'm walking away with (thanks so much) The power strips with a USB! Of course, how brilliant. And the motion sensor lights in the over head cupboards... I too am short and can't see up in those upper cupboards in our Airstream, unless I get out the step stool, but sometimes it has to double as a step to get out of the trailer. Even if I installed a light up there I'd still have to "jump" up and switch on a light! Plus battery powered! Brilliant. Thanks guys... love your videos! Happy Trails...
Thanks so much! I thought it was funny. Loved the Jerk. "Someone doesn't like these cans!". Steve Martin is great. Glad this vid helped. Keep in touch.
Rainey Shafer iiyou
I seriously paused and went straight to Amazon and ordered those motion sensor led lights! Awesome! So much better than the little puck lights.
You're going to love those lights. Fav RV Upgrade.
You are a hoot! I am glad I found your channel! I am looking forward to subscribing and watching your videos! Enjoy your journey!
Thanks Dawn! Glad you found us! Keep in touch. We love hearing from subscribers!
I certainly will keep in touch. I am interested in your journey specifically because you are doing it in a travel trailer. I have a 15 passenger van and I will need to purchase a travel trailer. I am curious to see how you guys get around, where you park and camp and how you deal with your small space.
Dawn Lizarraga All good points. We'll be to include in future Q&A's. We almost bought a 8 passenger conversion van 3/4 ton. Would have nice pulling a trailer. Best of both worlds in my opinion.
I have 3 adopted kids and we are fostering 3 that might get adopted. It's hard for me to commit until last three are completed. Plus, we have previous foster kids that still visit. I want to cram everyone under 30 feet so we can have more choices to camp. I like your trailer. I am glad you pointed out why the triple bunk didn't work because I also saw a triple bunk under 30 feet. I would never have thought of having head space to sit up. Your video was extremely informative and funny as heck! You have a lovely family! I am enjoying the videos! The carwash video made me snort I laughed so much! Enjoy that land yacht! LOL
Dawn Lizarraga
Tipsy Tricia is so much fun!
Love the storage ideas. Here's a tip for more counter top space. I use a cutting board that covers one half of the sink meeting your recommended two function task, more counter space and a cutting board. Say hi to the Griswolds. 🍷
That's a great idea. Thanks for the comment. We're staying in the Griswolds driveway - I'll let them know you said hello.
Love, love, love all of these ideas for maintaining some semblance of sanity and the multipurpose items!
:) Thanks!
This is amazing! We are in the market for an RV and I’m loving seeing how you utilize each space. I’m trying to convince my husband to live in our camper while we move across country, verses hotel living.
Forget hotels. RVing is so much better.
Patricia Westervelt absolutely agree!
That's a huge bathroom for the trailer size. Awesome video!!!
😍 Loved this video, nice tips & hacks. 👍Loved the movie clips & out takes you added too. A few of the movie clips I knew but at 7:28 I GOTTA KNOW the name movie / video clip with person cleaning the house who said "there can't be any sign of living this house". 🤣😂🤣 And at 10:18 I GOTTA KNOW the name of the movie clip with the guy in the bathroom needing bathroom tissue who says "Emma?"...then paperless tissue is slid under the door. Priceless. 😂🤣😂
Thank you! It was so much fun to edit. Do a search for Company is Coming and you'll find it. The toilet paper clip was from a paperless company in Europe. Can't remember where I got it. :)
+ Keep Your Daydream - Thank you! 💞
Hats off to you guys. Them videos and being on the road with three kids, editing, and work can not be easy, but yall keep on, Good on yall! Great looking family
Thanks Ryan. Lots of moving parts... but surprisingly easier to manage than being at home! :)
I am roaring laughing watching this, so informative and very entertaining too. Thanks so much. Oh my ...so funny! : D
Maggie Connor :)!
As already said, the video was great and your family is awesome. I loved the video because you are a family of 5 with a dog and so are we. In America, everything is built for the family of four and it gets on my nerves. Thank you for going into detail about where the kids sleep and more importantly how the third bed works out for you guys. Great insight.
Awesome. Good to hear from you. Yes, that 3rd kid is expensive! We saw many many RV's with a folding couch with a massive seem. We knew from renting condos on vacation that the kids would rebel from sleeping there.... and then what would we do? I suppose cut foam mattress to put over, but what a pain. The fewer things the better!
Best editing award... You win
:) Thanks!
We loved it and the tips! We begin our full-time RV journey in May. Can't wait!
We left in May. Great departure month. Enjoy! Any Q&A videos you're looking for on UA-cam?
Yes, I am a stickler about organization. We have been reducing our stuff for years, but want the best way to organize everything. You have some wonderful tips in the walk-thru, but a video based on being minimal in an RV would be great!
Thanks for sharing ALL of these GR8 IDEAS & FUN #MovieClips
Trish - A Tension Rod above Your Bed could Cover That Space/plastic Boxes with A Beautiful Valance or 2..
Wow! That was funny and incredible. With 3 kids on the road you haven't lost your sense of humor or adventure, nice work.
thats some funny stuff right there!!
Right-on! Thanks :)
Well presented and very entertaining. I love the movie clips. My wife and I just purchased a motor home and all of your will tips apply. Everything has to be secured before you move.
Congrats on the new rig. All our fav RV products are included here amazon.com/shop/keepyourdaydream
Thanks for the fun video! We full-time newbies are taking some pointers from you for our videos. I love the part where you talk about making it look like it's not lived in. That sounds so much like my husband when we are filming. I can't even leave a pen laying on the table!! lol.
subbed to your channel. Look forward to more vids. Safe travels!
Lol! That clip is Trish's fav in the RV Tour. Thanks for the sub! Welcome. So much more to come!
RN - RV Chronicles first love this the map is that a map of your trip?
OMG! You guys made my night! I am laughing so hard! Hilarious!😂
So cool. Thanks for the comment! So glad I got this video out during the week! Time to get started with Sunday's vid!
We just bought our 24' class C 10 days ago and have only brought it down to the beach to watch the sunset, eat dinner and play some games. I like what you said about just doing it. The more videos I watch the more nervous I'm getting. After all, you don't know what you don't know! Thanks for the good humor and I do love the video clips. It shows that you are enjoying your life. I hope we can enjoy our trips as much as you are. Thanks! Jody
Congrats Jody. You're right. It's easy to get overwhelmed. When you're actually on the road, it's not that confusing :) Thanks for the note.
Command Strip! Command Strip! Command Strip! here is my glass.....LOL
Too funny! Lol
I stumbled upon episode 1 ( I don't know how for lucky I guess) its now 8:30 pm and I'm on episode 24 and I cant stop!!! You guys or solo awesome. Keep them coming. I'm pretty sure by the time I finish watching all of your videos I will be on jay way to purchasing an RV and getting the family on the road!
Now that's funny. Only 24 eh, only 60 some more to go! But slow down a bit. I sux to wait a week for new ones :) They do get better as you go.
Loved the little clips that you inserted...What was that one where the bed folded together as the guy was laying in it?? HAHA
Ha! Thanks. It was from Bad Grandpa. I never saw the move... but I found it when searching for funny mattress on UA-cam.
cute mom, your kids must be angels to live in that space
How have I gone this far without watching one of your videos, such similar lives, hope to catch up sometime, in Texas currently, we'll have to meet up some day
Likewise. Looks like we've been to some of the same places too. We were in White Sands in late November. Season 3 will be on the West Coast headed toward BC (if all goes to plan). Keep in touch! -Marc
Keep Your Daydream cool we have plans to head west after a trip to Florida, we'll stay in touch, great vids!!
Right-on. We have an entire RV Florida playlist. It was our fav state. Check out the everglades vid. The kids would love Down South Air Boat.
Thx, really enjoyed the tour and great useful ideas! You guys are too cute! Yes, I'm up to date with each and every video. Always watching for the next video. Wishing you all safe and happy travels.
That's great! Thanks for the comment!
Fantastic tour! Thanks for sharing guys. Love the "Marc-esque" video overlays. Where can I get a bed that will do that? : )
Lol. A link to the bed is in the description! I'm fighting tooth and nail now to say that word!
You can't find a bed like that. It's counterintui...... : )
The hilarious movie clips are awesome. The guy in the mattress is the best!
Great post, I found you guys after watching Less junk
Welcome to our channel! Curious... did UA-cam rec. our channel? Or did you find us because they were on our podcast? In regards to the lights... there is a 1 sec delay before turning on and I see them pop on. They are our fav upgrade!
I guess what you tube does, post other like videos/post on my 'right side' of the screen. I was viewinganother couple Less Junk
That makes sense. We know those guys. In fact, they were on our podcast. Check it out. www.keepyourdaydream.com/less-junk-more-journey/
loved the cut ins from different movies, especially loved the one from navin johnson, that is one of my favorite videos
Navin. Hilarious! Such a good movie.
I think she deserves another glass of water/oops I meant wine... LOL,LOL,LOL
Wine made it better for sure!
LOL...
Been an RV owner for 25 years and recently upgraded from 85 camper to a 98 RV. You taught me about new RVs we used an old school spice rack right at the stove super handy. Yes the command strips are awesome using them in the new RV. Cheers
Meme after meme after meme xD
Perfect!
For the master closets I purchased a five slot wardrobe organizer that hangs off the rod. I can put pant/shorts on a shelf, shirts on another and so on. There is still a small gap to hang a few items if needed.
Trish has since done that on her side. Somehow my side become Tori's closet.... :)
YOUR NOT ONLY PRETTY BUT YOUR FUNNY TOO
ray rowe lol. I'll pass that onto Trish. :)
This is the best rv video. Much better than the ones at the dealerships. You are to cute and had awesome ideas. Thank you for taking the time to do your video...
I'm first omg
LOL! First weekday vid too! Hope you like. We think it's a crack up -Marc
I did enjoy it as usual!!! Keep it up guys!
Loved your beautiful bubbly attitude n your thoughts on how to supply your camper! Great Ideas
I love your energy and enjoyed the video. But I'd suggest a little less video clips.
Fair enough. I don't normally put that many in our weekly episodes.
Cory Bowes I like the video clips!
I liked the video clips too, great sense of humour!
Cory Bowes I completely agree. I really don't like when people add clips in... it cheapens the editing to me. Just my opinion!
Love the clips! They were short and really didn't distract from her tour. The clips helped to boost her points.
Thanks to you and your family for creating this very informative video for those of us still looking for a bit of guidance and experience from those like you, before we make our leap.....
Ron S You are so welcome! We love creating and enjoy the community. There are many more videos like this being planed now. Lots on how to improve living in an RV and much more. :)
I have been a life long camper and I still was able to learn from your video. Thank you for sharing. It was fun and motivational.
Tricia, thank you for the tour and great ideas. BTW....I laughed so much watching this. You crack me up. Mark is blessed to have you by his side. Must never have a dull moment. Larry
Im not sure how old this video is, but If you get on amazon or DIY magnetic spice tins and put them on oven hood! (most holds one normal sized spice jar amount) Might have to pull down before traveling but I LOVE this idea and has worked great for us!!! I have 12 spice containers! I put them on front and side of the hood, premade ones came with common spice labels too!
Great Editing job!!! Funniest Rv tour video we've seen. Trish, you missed your calling. A comedic tour guide. Thanks for the out-takes. We had a good chuckle.
Lol. Thanks! I'll pass it onto Trish. I love the out-takes too.
You are so fun to watch and very informative! Thank you for all of your creative storage ideas :)
So you know how you watch a video and can tell if you could actually hang out with those people or not...I could totally hang out with you guys. Love your humor. And learned SO many ideas for storage! Thanks!
I'm guessing from the context... you meant could and not couldn't :) We have even more fun off camera - some people think its an act... they just haven't hung out with us!
Ha, what a weird typo. Fixed it. But yes, LOVE your humor, the video clips were great.
Best video by far ! Wine induced tours are the best ! Stay safe and be good to each other.
Eddie Chavez Awesome! Thanks. Had to spice it up. More to come.
I originally started with this video when I was doing research on being new to RVing and it was a great help. A few more videos later and I was hooked and have started at the beginning of season 1 and am up to Episode 26...Thanks for all the useful info & laughs :)
Lol. Welcome! Glad you're enjoying them. I'm glad you stared at the beg.... this way you'll see the improvement instead of the other way around! :)
Excellent tips on storage solutions. We used tension rods too, when we were RVing years ago. Since you're don't seem excited about your stove, how about getting a slow cooker or instant pot? We used a slow cooker (instant pots weren't invented yet!) and that worked out very well. The other tip I would say is treat the RV as a second home and buy it it's own set of towels, sheets, pots and pans and all the rest. This way, when you are getting ready to go, all you have to pack into the RV is your clothes and food. Everything else is already packed! This will save you tons of time and stress wondering if you remembered everything. Also, another tip, make up a really good first aid kit and not with just band aides and first aid cream. Include safety pins, various sizes of bandages, clothes that can be made into slings and so on. I hope everyone can benefit from these tips. (The first aide kit should be in everyone's car plus water bottles in case you ever have to leave home in a hurry.)
You guys are great. Thank you for sharing your trips. Just purchased a 2017 F150 with the 2.7 Ecoboost. In the process of install the Firestone Air Bags and your previous video showing the mistakes the were made on the installation was very helpful. Thanks again. Your efforts are much appreciated. Very entertaining too...
We are incorporating the motion sensor lights in our travel trailer, thanks to you. Wonderful idea that adds light to some otherwise dark spaces!
Still my most fav upgrade to date!
Great Video....you have a great sense of humor!! Thanks for the tour
Oh, I did hear of an idea of hanging a basic curtain rod low on the wall as your coming into the travel trailer and it will hold your shoes. I'm going to give it a try when we go camping next weekend. Our kids are grown and we have 5 grandkids but we travel with a 5 yr old Siberian Husky & a 9 month old deaf Great Dane!
Love this! buying a new trailer soon and learned a ton!
Sweet. Thanks!
Brilliant editing! I'm in total agreement about the clear plastic bins. See everything at a glance.
Tricia you are the bomb,love your tips !!!!. We can even use these tips at home.Your RV looks great,thanks for the tour.
I'll pass it onto Trish... thanks for the comment! -Marc
Great video. Loved the tour. Movie pop-ins were super funny. We use commando hooks in the shower for hanging wet swim suits. Also we saw where people used suck cups with string to hang their paper towel roll outside of the RV. (When BBQing). Small Dewalt shop vac doubles as a vacuum cleaner. Love the double duty idea. I stick to that when purchasing anything for the trailer.
Awesome. Yeah, Trish loves her Command strips! Good ideas.
so much very good information in such a short time. Delivery of information and funny clips very good! The editing and camera work made everything come together for a very good video with many laughs. Will need to watch to pick up all the storage ideas.
Thanks Dave. Many laughs editing it. Appreciate the comment. Trish has learned a new things over 5 months of rv living. She's made living in a travel trailer with a family easier.
Best RV Tour ever!
Thanks! :)
great editing...... smiles all the way...
Thanks Yvonne!
Trish,... You are a genius! Marc... Hilarious!
Hi Trish, Marc & Family,
We total love your RV tour especially the end with the bloppers and the wine/Modello salute.
You asked fir suggestions of making things easier. The smaller metal hook command strips placed on the inside door of cabinet or on wall by stove make great hangers for cooking utensils.
Hugs to you and yours.
Sandy & Jay Livesay
Did someone say command strip!?! Sure... we own stock. Good idea! Consider it done! Thanks for the suggestion
The red wash tub - it makes a great foot soaking spa. Seriously!
Triple purpose!
Great job on the tour. I picked some good idea. What's behind the screen in the bathroom next to the tub?
Ah! Good question. A door to the outside. And the reason it didn't occur to us to show it is the broken awning from NYC is blocking the door. We normally use that door as much as the main door. ua-cam.com/video/hydgH5hlFMc/v-deo.html
you can save that top drawer by putting your spices in magnetic tins and sticking them to a medal cookie sheet/or magnetic knife holder on the side of your oven from the dollar store. ...check them out on pinterest... loved the tour! and thanks for the shout out on the last video, my 7 year old got all excited! keep having fun! safe travels!!
Great idea! Glad you saw the shout out. Very cool. Thanks for the comment. :)
I remember Nikki Wynn (Gone with the Wynns) saying that she didn't care for the magnetic spice rack. I don't remember why.
I don't full-time RV< but I do bugout camping due to hurricane state and living on the coast w/ a camper.
one tip I have is - pack your clothes in totes and keep stackable similar totes that are short height to neatly fold and store dirty in and swap them after laundry is done. the point is : you can store them in the tub/shower during travel, and keep them there when camping where shower facility is available. and use the entire shower as storage w/ low-cost shelving to separate everyones clothing supply - wrinkle free shirt requirements store in the closet spaces and more room for other stuff.
what fun watching this!
Trish... Thanks to this video I'm not only having to negotiate "Acts of service" but the frequency of them too..!!! Very entertaining 😁
Thanks Mike.
Real people - real solutions. Love it. Your videos help greatly in my planning stages of RVing around the country. Thank you for taking the time to share !
I loved this!! My husband & I are seriously considering full time RVing.
