Congratulations on the new rv and truck! As a LONG TIME subscriber, it's great to hear that you'll be be posting more frequently on UA-cam again.
Thank you so much! It’s great to be back.
I agree, as they've been missed, as I'm use to getting a notification when new UA-cam video's are released by the RV Geeks, as I look forward to them. With that, I now know that they've received their new truck & RV and look forward to ALL the news, the 'why's' and details in future videos. We ourselves have thought of doing something similar, so I'm eager to hear their reasonings, although we are already 'part-timers' yet still enjoy our Tiffin Phaeton Dp for now.
Thanks so much for the kind words! We are eagerly looking forward to sharing all of our thinking about the pros and cons of going so small. For now, suffice it to say that less than a weekend, we are absolutely thrilled with our choice!
So great to hear/see you folks again. Thanks for the teaser. Happy new year. 🇨🇦
Thanks so much for the welcome back! Happy new year to you as well.
It's gonna be an extreme ultra-rugged off-road travel trailer like you showed on one of the more recent episodes (Season 4?) of The RVers, and I can't wait to see it and where you are going to be taking it!
We love your thinking on this one! Stay tuned!
Funny, I just went from being a big city high rise condo dweller to a full timer, loving it! Should have done the switch years ago.
Congratulations! And thanks for keeping the karmic balance, as we have done the opposite!
So happy to see your video pop up in my notifications!! Glad to hear no one at the hotel was hurt. Very scary event.
Well wishes to you both from Seattle! I have also grown a winter beard for warmth this year, and it's already been worth it. 🥶🥶🥶
Thanks, Aaron! Since we’re only a couple of hours north of you, we’re sure you’ve been experiencing the same bitter cold the last couple of days we have. These beards can’t grow fast enough! 😂
I'm so excited to hear from you guys (minus the crash).....MISSED YOU!!! Can't wait to hear more about the new rig!
and ....... I guessed truck camper!!!!! LANCE 1172 ;)
@@nancyrautmann1636 Thanks so much, Nancy! It’s great to be back. We will hopefully have updates with details in the not too distant future.
i REALLY hope you come back to youtube full time. it really sucked when you guys left youtube for television.
Thanks so much! Great to be back.
Great to see a video from you both! It is COLD (live in PNW) so beards are smart. 😁
Thanks, Pam! Great to be back. And yes, today in particular in the Pacific Northwest is a good day for insulation! 🥶
Yay! I'm so glad you're coming back to UA-cam!
Thanks Mike!
So good to see you guys again on youtube!!! Excited to see your new rig in the spring...we love our 5er & dually setup! Now we are also looking into a B-van for smaller trips, though...for when we retire. Thanks for what you do...we love your videos, articles and blog posts!!! Happy New Year to you both :)
Thanks so much! Great to hear from people who love their towables. Happy new year to you too!
belated welcome back. Missed your program. ThomyT
Thanks Thomy! More vids about our new RV coming soon.
So excited to have you all back! I cant’ wait to see the new towable. Welcome back!
Thanks so much George! We’re hoping to have it pretty soon!
Great to see you two again. We followed you closely during our three year full timing adventure, from 2016-2019. And did many upgrades with your always excellent diy videos. We also are now part time, with a home and a half ton truck and small travel trailer. I need to add a window awning and looked you up to refresh my memory ahead of the job. I have re-subscribed and look forward to future content. And for my money you are going Airstream and 3/4 ton truck. Cheers.
Thanks so much! Sorry we just saw your comment. You won't have to wait long to find out. We're just weeks away!
Guys, good to see you again! Life is full of change and going from full-time to part-time certainly has some pluses, not to mention, a new rig. Wishing you peace, prosperity & health with all of your transitions. Would love to meet you while in BC in May but I’m not bringing our rig into Vancouver if I can avoid it! 😀
Thanks Jim! Best to you as well. We're hoping to be on the road in our new RV this Spring, so be sure to stay tuned! And yes... we suggest avoiding driving an RV into downtown Vancouver if possible. 😉
so glad your back,looking great guys
Thanks so much, Diana! ❤️
So excited for you!! Will be waiting for all your new updates. Stay well
Thanks so much, Marcy!
You guys should come clean and admit that it was your new one getting delivered😎
All kidding aside, looking forward to the new rig!
Have a great 2024.
You got us Tom! 😂 Happy new year, and stay tuned for proof that our new trailer will be unscathed!
Long time no see. Hope you're well. Exciting stuff.
Thanks so much, Joe! Same to you.
Great to see you back
Thanks so much!
Good to see you guys again Happy New year from the Mittons and their kittens, we bought a lot here in Topock AZ ,near Havasu for our winter home,stay warm friends ❤
We’re definitely missing the desert Southwest this year. Glad we’re not spending the winter in Canada in an RV though. An arctic front came through last night, and it was 9°F this morning!
Woohoo! Missed you so much on YT!! Looking forward to it.
Make sure you get Starlink!!
Thanks so much! We have our Starlink from the motorhome standing by!
Interesting, truth is I haven't been following your blog for a while but do get notifications here on UA-cam.
I'm going to try to be back to full time soon. Bought a new class C and will be working while traveling. Look forward to seeing some new videos.
Congratulations on your new rig, Mark! Safe travels.
Awesome, I am a You tube only follower .... very happy to see you will be coming back with new content
Thanks so much!
Happy New Year guys!!! I miss seeing you and your UA-cam videos. I hope you will be publishing more content on UA-cam more often. I started watching you several years ago and love your videos. Take care and best wishes. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words. We’re excited to be back. Happy new year to you too!
Hi Peter and John, Happy New Year! Great seeing you guys. I've been kind of quiet myself. Blew me away that you're not getting another motorhome. I would've never guessed you would go with a towable and going part-time. I know life changes and I wish you both the best of Luck with the new truck/towable. Guess we'll have to wait until Spring, I'm a terrible guesser.
Hi Nancy! We know what you mean, since we never pictured ourselves in anything but a motorhome either. But things change, and we’re getting used to this weird new idea of not being full-time anymore! Happy new year, and stay tuned for details as we get closer.
Well I’m several hours late, but I’m excited for you guys to start your next RV adventure. Looking forward to the new rig! Cant wait to see it soon. How exciting. Thanks for another wonderful video.
Thanks so much! We can’t wait to share it
@@RVgeeks looking forward to it!
So glad to see you guys again, I'd been wondering what was happening.
Thank you!
What a surprise to get a notification and find it's the RV Geeks.
So nice to see you two again. I love the winter beards. :)
I have been looking at Escape travel trailers, but I don't think my current SUV can handle it, so any camping will be in the minivan. I'll probably have to get a cat sitter first, though.
Cheers,
Jon in rural BC, Canada
Thanks very much, Jon! It’s great to be back. Stay warm in rural BC!
@@RVgeeks That is the plan. :) -26 C tonight. Luckily my little house is well insulated.
Next time you're at Acacia Grove, let me know and I'll treat you to a Bridge burger at The Packing House.
Jon in rural BC, Canada
Missed watching you guys.
Well sweet JerseyRV on the road in your video. 😊
We thought you might notice that, Bill! Of course, we tiled out your license plate for obvious reasons, since we didn’t want anyone to think that you were the subject of this video! 😂
Congratulations on your sale and best of luck with your new towable! Is it the Black Series HQ21?
Excellent guess! Stay tuned!
BTW...this is your old pal from RBV. You guys look amazing!@@RVgeeks
@@stephaniepowers64 Thanks so much, and HOLY CRAP! How the heck are you and Beth?!
Happy New Year!
Thanks! You too!
@@RVgeeks I was reading your newspaper article. I am from the next town over in Holmdel.
@@NJ-Cathie Hey Cathie! Great to hear from a fellow local! Depending on your age and where you work (in Manhattan?) you might have ridden my bus 30+ years ago! I used to pick up at Airport Plaza headed to either downtown or the Port Authority. 😄
My vote is Airstream.
Excellent guess!
Awesome to see you guys back. You got us into it so good you are back. Let’s go camping 🛠️🇨🇦🛠️🇨🇦🛠️towable is a good way
Thanks so much!
Oh, you guys went all electric and are getting the Pebble Flow
Nice guess Danielle! Stay tuned to find out!
We look forward to seeing the new RV.
Thanks Jason!
Vancouver BC Canada? 🇨🇦
@@jasoncarpp7742 👍 That’s the one.
@RVgeeks Are you still in Vancouver? I'm in Gig Harbor Washington, south of Seattle and west of Tacoma.
@@jasoncarpp7742 Yes. Here until our new RV is ready.
Staying in Vancouver, that would put you very close to where Bigfoot travel trailers are made. 🧐🧐
Excellent thought!
Great video but, come on Peter, how cold does it really get in Vancouver? We were unable to get away this winter so we are forced to winter in COLD Saskatchewan.🥶
Thanks Richard! Well… it was down to -13C / 9°F twice over the last couple of days, but I doubt we have anything to complain about compared to Saskatchewan! You win? 😂
FYI, All criminal charges are published on the public provincial court website with the accused's name and DOB. So there is no privacy or hiding from criminal charges like you insinuated
We didn’t mean to imply that the information wasn’t available, only that the police on the scene were unwilling to tell us anything, and we haven’t yet seen any further information published.
Hey guys, this comment has nothing to do with this video, but I was hoping you might help me with something else. I just found out Togo is gone along with all my checklists that I had spent hours compiling and becoming dependent on over the past three years. I’ve tried a few other RV, checklist apps, and nothing compares to the one we had with Togo. I’m curious what you guys use. You guys rock and whatever you do, I’ll probably love.🙏🏻💕✨ please share as soon as possible, I’m getting ready for a big summer trip. Re-creating my checklists ASAP is a top priority for me.✅
Hey @inspired2rv661 - sorry to hear that all of that work was lost. We have to admit we've never used any checklist app for RVing. We used an Excel spreadsheet to track the schedule for maintenance on the RV, but other than that, we did it all from memory.
The only other checklist app that we've heard much about is the Ultimate RV Checklist app (here on the iOS store: apps.apple.com/us/app/ultimate-rv-checklist/id1435241168 ). Joel Smith, the creator, is a friend we met through Xscapers and who's a full-time RVer, so we expect his app is pretty well vetted.
Hope this helps for you!
@@RVgeeks it’s no surprise that you guys are smart enough to do it by memory🤣 I am too scatterbrained to trust myself, I need the list. I’ve been very dependent on it, but maybe with a little self-esteem I can change that. I really appreciate that suggestion and I will look into it, thank you so much I really appreciate you guys and good luck with your new rig!
miss you guys, when do you think you will be back on u tube?
Hi Jay! Should be taking delivery of our new RV within the next month, and will have lots to share here. Stay tuned!
Yall strike me as airstream people. Can't wait to see what you get.
Excellent guess! Stay tuned!
@@RVgeeks I know my rv people!!!
OK Fellow RVE-ers... I'll take a stab and throw a Pebble into the lake of Guesses at your new ride. Given your RVGeeks, You will want something totally cutting edge technology. and given that you need something fresh for your channel (since, well I haven't seen you two since RVE 2021), and that you have to wait for the order; AND now that you are Sometimers (welcome to our club); I'd say Your planning on getting Something so exciting and new that no other channel Nay One has: Your getting a Rivian truck to tow either an Airstream E-Stream or your getting a Pebble. Yep! Your going Full EV!
Besides! John can't wait to park the land yacht with his I-Pad!!
Hey Mike! We love your thinking, but now we’re concerned that we might have oversold this, and you’ll be incredibly disappointed if we don’t end up in something that cutting edge. We might have to change our order! 😂
Too bad, the pebble flow was my instant guess as well.
hahahaha @@RVgeeks If you wern't thinking like this, you are NOW! And with something that new, a Corporate Sponsor or two would be a great Benefit! Chop some of that cost up! And I know a few have introduced these EV vehicles, but you could be the first to be demonstrating them to the Public! hahaha.. Just a thought (in Jest.?) :) Besides; Who Else would be better suited to be EV Ambassadors?
It's Bitter sweet about selling your King-Aire. that rig was beautiful up close. One of the two best looking coaches at the conference (next to our Beaver)! Here's looking forward to your new lifestyle, and new beginnings. Whatever your rig is.
(P.S. I think there's some TOMfoolery going on here. Now I get why Tom and Kait switched from a 5th wheel to a DP!! hahaha)
It sure would be funny if we swapped rigs with Tom & Cait! 😂
What is a 1976 Apollo kickass? Is it a Dodge Chevy or Ford
I can't wait to hear your reasons why you're leaving the Class A world. I love class A. I had an advantage because my current RV is similar to the one you guys had. You guys were instrumental in my RV education and I saved lots of money because of you guys. You even convinced me to get a CRV (It's a great vehicle to tow). I will continue to follow your journey because no one explains things like you. I'm glad you're not giving up the RV life all together. Canada is our next big trip. Where should I go?
The east coast of Canada seems to be the great frontier for RV'ers but I'll be doing southern Ontario and the Muskoka area (cottage country, a few hours north) next summer, using the good private owned parks but the provincial parks as a staple. The OnRoute rest stops along the major highways also have RV parking and food/gas etc. Typing from Yuma AZ
@@GooseTravels1 ThankYou, we are going to Ontario (Niagara Falls) for sure.
@@QLFProductions Niagara falls is RIGHT on the border and very busy, enjoy the sights but you'll probably want to bail after a few days. Provincial parks are within a short distance from there, all along lake Erie (selkirk, long point, rock point etc). If you want to do Toronto there is one right in Oakville called Bronte Creek, been twice its nice and EVERYTHING is right close, even the Go Train to downtown Toronto
@@GooseTravels1thank you for the info
So sorry we just saw your comment! Thanks very much. We're only a few weeks away from the new rig, and we'll talk quite a lot about why we've decided to make such a big change. Our two favourite places in Canada are at the extreme edges - Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, and Vancouver, BC. Both are fairly RV friendly (lots of places in Cape Breton, and one - Capilano River RV Park - in North Vancouver. Safe travels!
Rats.. you sold Newman the Newmar!!!! Original subscriber here since video number one!!
Hi Scott! While we did sell the Newmar, we have an exciting new RV coming our way in just a couple of weeks. Stay tuned!
Well my guess:
it’s gonna be a single rear wheel truck, short bed, with all terrain tires, probably another boring black, or white or silver coloured ford 😂; and the trailer is gonna be a travel trailer, not a 5er, the brand 🤔? An airstream or a full fibreglass trailer, but not one of the mass typical assembly line brands.
Can’t wait, looking forward to it. 🍻
Love the specificity of your guess! 😄
Crashed like rvgeek postings! Heard a rumor that you guys are coming back!?
Hey Patrick! You heard right. Picking up our new RV next week, and will have lots to share!
Yall still got the old Honda
We sure do, Kenneth! But not for long. Our new pick up truck should be ready within the next month or two, and as soon as we get it, the CRV goes up for sale. It’s an awesome set up for another RVer, obviously fully set up with base plate and brake system to flat tow. just need someone who’s looking for a stick shift!
I hope you're okay.
We’re good, thanks!
@@RVgeeks How about those in the RV? Were they hurt?
@@jasoncarpp7742 Nobody hurt. All okay.
@@RVgeeks Thank goodness!
@@RVgeeks Has anyone figured out what caused this accident? Driver error, mechanical problem?
Since gas is so damn expensive in Vancouver ima bet you went with one of the following…. Rivian R1T F150 lightning F150 powerboost Silverado EV Ram REV or Ramcharger or cybertruck
Love the guesses! Although another possibility is to drive across the border to buy gas, and head south for the winter while we’re at it. 😁
I had an extra dark chocolate almond to celebrate your return.
Well, that sounds like about the nicest way to celebrate we can imagine. Enjoy, and thanks!
Maybe you guys can have people guess that type of rv you guys are getting, just a thought
Judging by the comments, it looks like people already are! 😄
Hmmm well if it is a towable and size is no longer a concern..a small to midsize Airstream? Or a boondock capable trailer. Let me ask the Mortons 😂
Tom and Cait are sworn to secrecy! 😂
We're the rv windows busted prior?
Yes, they were. The whole thing looked like it had been in storage.
@@RVgeeks I wonder why they were arrested? Lol This is interesting.
@@mommasonthemove9144prob a DUI
lol Brinkley or airstream
Excellent thoughts! 😉
My guess is FULL electric. Cybertruck towing the Pebble Flow
Absolutely love your guess! Stay tuned to find out if you’re right! 😄
towable???
Can ya believe?!
Can you say Pebble Flow?
That’s an awesome rig! Would be fantastic paired with a cyber truck! 😂 Excellent guess. Stay tuned!
I have a Xantrex 600ah egen, Freedom SW 3012 Inverter/Charger, and Xantrex Battery Managaement System. If anyone is interested let me know!
The truck better not be a half ton
You mean the truck that went through the hotel lobby, or the one we’re buying?
Let me guess. Cybertruck + Pebble all electric RV?
Love the guess! Your timing is pretty awesome, as we’ll be picking up our new rig this week, so the reveal isn’t far off. Stay tuned !
New horizon.
For sure!
You're MotorhomeLess...
😂
who who is making the new????
Stay tuned!
Thought you guys disappeared!
We’re here!
Hummm, truck camper?
Excellent guess, but we will be pulling our RV behind us!
