Not sure how you guys felt about the travel trailer in Arizona but I sold my van and am now full time in a 25 ft trailer. Absolutely love it. People seem to change rigs every 2-3 years so I preferred to spend the 6-8 months it would have taken me to build another rig on the road in one that was ready (with a few electrical upgrades I made). And as for quality, I’m not trying to live in it for ten years so I don’t need it to be made of steel. I feel like a normal person again since I can disconnect from my home and it’s SO nice being able to leave camp in my truck without having to pack up my life every time. That part is probably an even bigger bonus if you have a baby and run into an emergency!
It would be sweet to park on up somewhere but then we also have to get a truck to pull it.
Love you guys. It was so fun to spend time with you again. We'll roll up to Canada and see you after little man gets here!
Que Dios les acompañe!
We can't wait!!!! Love you!!!
❤❤❤❤ I really try to keep my personal opinions out of things and I really love y'all as a family and the content you put out is great however I believe that Everly shouldn't just be any car seat. Her car she should be secured if you guys are gonna be driving down the road./highway/... That's the most unsafe thing I've ever seen in a vide.... be still my heart.... 💜 I'm always praying for y'all! Please receive this is constructive criticism and not criticism because this is the way I intended it .
The car seat is secured!!! There are two seatbelts in the back, one that secures the car seat and one for me (Alex) while I'm sitting back there. The car seat is super sturdy, we can make a video yanking on it if you want. I promise, it's not just floating there!!! Sorry to cause you worry!
It would be nice if you could do van life a little longer.
Everly keeps getting cuter and cuter. I was amazed how active she is since last video. The first year goes by in a flash. My baby will be 45 yrs old this year and I don't know where the time has gone. Take care😊
I totally would love to with Everly being so young. But we do realize how fast she is growing, and maybe a little bigger of a rig would be great for her to grow into.
Best Line: “Checkout my quads (as she points at her biceps). Wait, what are these called?
😂✌️
Hahahaha that was too good. 🤣
Yes Tractor Supply is one of the cheapest places to fill your propane tanks.
Love it!
Love you guys - you are so friendly and fun, and such a sweet family.
Awww you are too sweet!!! Thank you so much for the love!!!!
Love your videos. ❤ It was awesome to see you guys connect with Matt and Cass. They’ve done an amazing job on their homestead. Love you guys ❤
Yes totally! And what nice people too. Just awesome!!
I hope you don't quit. I really enjoy watching your travels, but you definitely need a much bigger rig. My wife and I only part time and we have a 42' Class A diesel pusher. Having a full size bathroom with your own washer and dryer is priceless.
Wow that would be luxurious for sure! Was that you in front of us at the border to Canada?? Lol we defintiely need room for Everly to grow and crawl and learn to walk. One step at a time!
@@FnAVanLife Unfortunately no. ☹️ Unfortunately we are home in Sarasota Florida right now while my wife is undergoing testing for cancer. Please keep Cheryl in your prayers that the tests come back negative.
@@adriannurse1502 all our love to Cheryl - praying for negative test results! Wish we'd known you were in Sarasota, our restaurant is in St. Pete! Raining Berries St. Pete :)
@@FnAVanLife We would have loved to have come up and met you. 🙂
Gotta do what's best for the family! Homesteading is a dream of mine, lots of work but I can't even imagine the accomplished feeling of eating what you grew. I think the baby would benefit from stability, but she's young and you can always settle down during the more important years.
Good luck and stay safe out there!
Defintiely lots of work but the fruits of your labor are sweet!!! I think we take advantage of being able to kart her anywhere now with little fuss. Growing veggies will always be available - at least I hope it will be!
I wouldn't have paid either - no shower and full price? No thank you.
Right!? What a rip off!
My name is Kelly I have been watching you guys for years. I have cried and laughed with you along your journey. I have commented a few times.
But this time I feel like I should say come to northern Vermont for a visit. we are in a location that is affordable and great for homesteading, cute small villages and great schools. Skiing and lots of fun people. It’s close to Canada and easy to get to NJ and Florida
Not sure how you can connect with me. Im not to tech savvy.
We have great land to camp on or longer stays if needed. I would love to meet u guys.
I will send details later on a private message I guess. ??
Kelly that is so sweet of you. Thank you also for watching for so many years. We would love to meet you one day. Send us a dm on FnAVanlife on Instagram. Next time we are cruising through Vermont we will have to come and see you.
I love that you were in Tennessee the volunteer state
It's a beautiful state.
Where are you right now? Will you be anywhere near Western Montana? I have plenty of space for you to park here for building out your bus you mentioned getting. I also have about all the tools you'll need for the build.
I'm working on building a conversion trailer myself. So, we could be doing similar work together if you'd like to come here for your build.
I have hookups you can connect to while you're here. No problem...
Nomad
I get them hills as a passenger. Sleeping in the bed of a semi while the other drives will really shake u awake u go nuts lol. That looks like a sweet property they got there.
Totally 🥰 and it is a beautiful spot they got here.
Maybe in time get a plot of land, but do the Bus Conversation first.
You can always install a "Landing Pad" for a Vehicle on a plot of land until you are ready for a permanent structure.
Build the house before the land or the land before the house lol
Good times 👍except for the motion sickness. Look forward to seeing what comes !
Lol thanks. ❤️
Awwww Everly...❤❤ Awesome video of your travels home. It is so heartwarming to connect with others while on the road.
Thank you, guys. Miss you both.
I foresee a bus in the future 😮 it's little cramped with toddler for sure. Everly be walking soon because kiddos grow when we blink it seems lolz 😅. Stay safe guys beautiful travels ❤
Us too! But I guess we will see.
❤love you guys❤
But Lil Ms Everly.... show stopper!
Shes really developing quite the personality ... 😊 she will need her own channel soon! ❤
Awwww she is the sweetest!!! She's growing so fast 🥰🥰🥰
I think you've officially grown up enough to grab yourselves a slice of heaven. Clearly, first step is a rig you can live comfortably in. Then save up and find a chunk of land you can camp out on while building and setting it up to live. Not only is it the way to get what would take many years otherwise but also provides content material. (ala T&A, NM, M&M Adv, LeaW)
Also, Mom and Dad might give you a helping hand now that you're showing responsibility and making good decisions.
I think that if Francis can figure out that the light unit needs power via hot and ground, then he can figure out how to plan a homestead. Jus sayin.
Yeah, we have definitely thought about a homestead.
I love you guys. So nice. Nice People. Cute smiley baby. Cute dog. Love your smiles!!
Aw thank you so much Janice!!
I hope you still put out videos whatevef you do! Much love from the UK ❤❤❤
Oh we will
@@FnAVanLife 👍👍👍👍👍
I think a bigger rig would be awesome if you don’t want to be in a stationary home. Too small rig will cause issues ALoT
Totally
FnA would be a challenge with the kids walking into the room in the middle of the night!
Bonine works great for motion sickness. ❤
Interesting
Loc twin! I have the same issue with the tender perimeter roots and grey fuzz…. On top of other issues I’m juggling with! I still haven’t cut my ends down, but sure need to! So nice to see you as always! I e tried braiding loose hairs around my lock base, but sometimes that limits the direction I can lay my locs if any different from how I did original braid direction. Oy! Challenges still.
If nothing else is true, calling Everly pretty is! Frankie will have his hands full when she starts to date in a few days. Yes, it will seem like days have passed when she starts!
It totally feels that way already.
Oh my I follow Matt and Cass to . I was so excited that you were with them on this video. Your friends are truly awesome people and shine their light so bright. You have your heart wish coming. Working at it is a blessing. Keep safe and well. Xxoo
Yes, they are! So cool. Thank you for the beautiful wishes.
Having a base of operations is really nice. Soon a certain someone will need school. 4 1/2 years or so seems like a long time, but it will go by quickly. Getting a place started and building on it over time while taking long road trips will let you decide just what you need. You can always sell the land (and structure) later if you decide it is not for you.
Where in Tennessee does Matt live obviously is closer to me because if you drove two hours from where you were at in middle Tennessee and you are still in Tennessee and in the mountains, he must be in East Tennessee
Yeah, I don't know. You would have to ask them.
@@FnAVanLife if you took I-40 east to I-75 north you would have been real close to my farm. From the video of the truck stop in Kentucky I assume you were on I -75 north
Maybe buy some land you can build on for a home base to always go back to and build a schoolie.
Yeah that would be great! Having somewhere to park all these rigs and have a shed for tools would be nice!!!
Yesss time to quit van life for bus life!! Hopefully I see a bus by the end of this video!
We'll there's definitely a bus in the beginning, a beautiful bus from @mariajoseandchase :D Maybe there's a bus in our future too Mike!
Beautiful Baby. ❤
Thank you 🤗
Everly is so darn adorable and love hers smiles she is definitely a very happy baby 🤗❤️ and is with Paco both being the stars ✨ of the show 🤗😉👍its awesome yall gotten a newer perspective on what yall should do next, especially as Everly grows bigger Y'all will definitely need more room and space. Love ya and sending lots of love hugs and prayers daily to yall too 🤗❤️🙏🤗❤️🙏🤗❤️🙏🤗❤️🙏...give Everly hugs for me 🤗❤️
You can if you live in the sun, not Northern European type weather
How can I get your hoodie
www.fnavanlife.com/shop/p/classic-fna-logo-hoodie
Just dropped a link for you. This is the pink one. I love this hoodie, no joke. I wear it pretty much every day. 🥰
Thanks for the video but one question ~ where does your daughter sleep
Good question! She has a small bed that holds her in. We open up the couch to a bed, and she has tons of room to sleep. Now that she is starting to really move, I need to build something to keep her from crawling off the couch bed.
Cupboard rhymes with "Old Mother Hubbard."
It does indeed lol
😅
Thanks
Id pick Small bus or medium bus and stay doing the road life, their will be a day in life you can't do that anymore so id say enjoy the land as long as you could before you can't anymore. Like I'm trying to get disability due to bad stroke i want to do Van Life or something i use to be a Truck Driver so i want to see the country can i? I didn't know i want to still dealing with doctors for 32 months and no word on disability yet, neurologist and heart doctor can't understand why i don't have it yet. 50% Brain damage etc. but o still go and try
Sending you all the love. I hope your health issues are looking better. Gosh that sounds stressful. You are so right, have to enjoy it while we can!
Pritty in pink
so sweet!!! Thanks Dena!
You need a different van/bus
Hit the nail on the head!
Why do you keep insisting you need something bigger, just because you have a child now? 🤔
Yeah, just because there is a lack of storage in this rig. We want her to be able to have a play area during the times she wants to play inside. The couch bed or the floor in this rig is just to small for her to be able to roam.
My mom combated car sickness by chewing spearmint gum. you could try that.
Great tip. Gonna have to try that one.
