- This video is about the first two weeks of RV life, and our experiences traveling with our pets.
My husband Jeff and I decided to give the RV lifestyle a try so that we could get some fresh air, have an adventure, and have a way to bring our three yorkshire terriers and Siberian cat along for the ride. It seems like many of the other people at rv parks are doing the same thing, as most everyone seems to have a dog. Living in an RV full time has been an interesting experience so far, although it got off to a rough start (as you can see in my previous videos).
This video talks about how things have been for us traveling in an RV with our pets vs what we expected. It's always so interesting to see what the differences are, and I hope this video is helpful if you are thinking about doing the same thing. Doing a road trip with dogs is more work, but is also really rewarding and fun. The pets are really starting to settle in to rv life , and they love the space and comfort of out ATC Toy Hauler.
We won't be in an RV with pets full time forever, and out time traveling was cut very short because the first trailer we bought had severe vocs so we could not use it for travel. That said, we are sharing the process of rving with dogs and the learning experience of our travels. below are a few of my favorite products so far for travel:
❤️ My favorite things❤️
❤️ Aunt Fannie"s Mosquito spray: amzn.to/3wYP1gP (deet free, cruelty free and vegan)
❤️ Wondercide - (I use this to repel insects from the pets) amzn.to/3TkwcxX
❤️ Yeti Tumblers - Unbreakable and they keep our drinks cold (or hot) amzn.to/3PPsvxm
❤️ Yeti foldable chair (this is the most comfortable foldable chair I have ever sat in. I love ours so much, and they were a great investment) - amzn.to/3PXcghQ
❤️ This is the cat backpack that we use for Simba, and he loves it. I got him used to being carried around in one...and he loves it now. It zips very securely as well. - amzn.to/3QYDS7r
❤️ This cat harness is great. I will say that it is very important to put it on very snugly. Cats are able to slip out of just about anything. The harness can not be loose at all. - amzn.to/3ASALZ2
❤️ We can't live without our favorite dehumidifier - amzn.to/3Trc6Cq
❤️ My GoPro Hero 10. I love filming with this! - amzn.to/3wAfHEa
❤️ Our trailer that we love. It is an ATC - atctrailers.co.... (very similar to this model)
❤️ The Air filter I use - amzn.to/3AQK386. (it is not small, but it works so well)
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch, and comment on my video:).
Megan, Jeff, Simba, Alfie, Lola and Poppy
Megan I’m so glad you two found something healthy to travel in with the babies. I’m just wondering how do you get the pet food delivered if you’re staying at rv parks? I also hope the other travel trailer gets off your hands and you get back your money soon.
We just plan on sending it to a place that we will be at for about a week:)
We have our camper at a lot that we our at a lake. We’ve been doing this for about 9 or so yrs now. In the kitchen look for nesting products, I have a set that is bowls, colanders, measuring cups and down to measuring spoons. Another thing I got and my favourite is a set of pots and pans that only have one handle that clips onto each pot and all the pots nest together to save space.
I’ve seen those pots! We thought about getting those too!
I am so happy I found your channel
Thank you so much!
Waggle Pet Monitor 😊
Great idea
I have been doing water enemas, coffee enemas and tea enemas for multiple chemical exposure.
That is great! Coffee is really popular (and healing) to take the burden off of ones liver. Everyone shudders at the idea, but whatever helps in health is the thing to do!
@@MeganGraham Thank you. I have been doing enemas since I was 13 years old in 1995 for detoxing, fitness, health and wellness. I wish I started doing enemas at a much younger age.
Your adventure begins❣️❣️. Happy trails to you!!! Such a change from city living and you two seem perfect for this❣️❣️. Thanks for the update and an Alphie reunion.😘
Thank you so much! We are so happy that we were finally able to start our adventure. Maine is such a beautiful place to start as well.
@@MeganGraham I love Maine. We used to live in Cumberland and I taught in Portland. Our oldest daughter was born there. Lobsters were $1.99/lb! I am dating myself😂! Have a wonderful time and eat some lobster for me🦞
Wow! Maine is so pretty. I think Jef definitely wants to get some Lobster today:). I will have some for you:)
Hi Meghan, thank you for your videos. They are always entertaining and informative! Could you tell me or viewers what harnesses you use for your Yorkies? I can’t seem to find a leather harness that fits my Yorkie properly. Thank you so much, and happy travelling. I look forward to following your adventures
I always buy harnesses from the company Buddy Belt:)
So glad you found a trailer that's healthy to live in! I hope you have many happy, fun days in it and make great memories 🙂
Thank you! It has been so great and it’s so nice to be settled into it. I’m really surprised by how much the pets enjoy it as well. Today one of my closest friends came to visit with her children and they also had a great time. They loved the bed that you push a button to bring down from the ceiling. They asked if they could Lana and watch TV :-)
@@MeganGraham that's awesome about the pets! What a relief 😅 Omg those beds that come down from the ceiling are the coolest 😄 my grandparents had one in an RV a long time ago that my siblings and I also loved to use.
Never seen this channel and I swear when I was scrolling and saw the thumbnail I thought you guys were Jason Sudekis and Sarah Jessica Parker
That is funny:)
Hi Megan,
I wanted to express my gratitude for sharing your experiences and knowledge about Yorkies. Your video has been incredibly helpful to us, especially since we are new owners of a 3-month-old Yorkie. We've only had him for a week, but unfortunately, he has been sick with vomiting and slight diarrhea, possibly due to stress, overfeeding, or a change in diet.
We took him to the hospital for two days, but even after coming home, he's still experiencing nausea and occasional vomiting. We're worried about our little pup, and we would greatly appreciate any advice you can give us on how to take care of him at home.
Thank you so much for your help.
I'm sorry, I am just seeing this. I hope that your pup is ok 🙏🙏
Hi guys! So happy you guys are doing well and can’t wait to follow this new adventure!
Thank you so much! We miss you every day :) ❤️❤️❤️
So happy you’re feeling better, question not related to your travel trailer what size buddy belts do your babies wear
2.5
Thx for sharing! So helpful.
Of course! I’m going to do lots of other videos, this was just a quick video about our first impressions and RV newbies❤️❤️❤️ The pets just love it so much and I think they are really living their best lives. We just took them out on a little ride around the park on a golf cart and they loved it.
Glad you're feeling better! You might look at products like waggle. It is a temperature monitoring system for pets, it alerts you via smartphone if there are any issues with heating or cooling.
Thanks for the tips! That is a great suggestion and we were looking for something like that. Do you have one?
@@MeganGraham no we don't have the RV or the waggle..just the yorkies..lol. Its the dream for someday.
If it's a dream, make it happen:). Life is unpredictable, so it's always good to do what you want to do right away. Don't wait:) ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so glad you’re feeling better, and things worked out. Alfie is so cute btw! He seems to enjoy the traveling life!
I’m getting there every day:) just loving the new trailer, and excited to have a home again. :) I wish I could livestream but the internet isn’t strong enough.
It’s certainly been an adventure!❤
Not what we expected for sure!
The biggest problem with NOT boondocking is the cost of parks. I’d definitely invest in a good solar system for efficiency and safety if you can’t go on the grid or want to Boon-Dock.
Also....how crowded they are...:). We will invest in one if we decide to keep this one long term for sure.
My husband and I bought a Class C just before I retired. We were moving from CA to TX, so we lived in the RV after selling our houses for a few months. Then we traveled extensively through the US and Canada for a few years. We took our Yorkie with us and loved that we didn’t have to pack and unpack at each stop like you would when staying at a hotel. We loved it. We no longer have the RV because we had problems finding good repair shops. It was a great experience.
That is so awesome. What kind of C class did you have? Eventually we may get one after we settle in another state and travel from out West (where my husband is from) to the North East (where my family is). Jeff is very mechanical so he has fixed a few small issues). I like that we don't have to pack and unpack as well. After moving a few times I have found that we have been more minimalist about what we take out so that we don't have to put it back away!
@@MeganGraham I wouldn’t recommend the company that made our RV. It had a lot of problems. Fleetwood made the Class A RV that I had prior to to the Class C. It was an excellent RV that we used when we had children and pets. My sister and her husband have a Fifth Wheel and really like it. It is pretty luxurious. They travel with it six months out of the year.
Yes! The fifth wheels look a little funny (that is what we have) but the space is so luxurious. It was big enough yesterday to have plenty of room for my friend to visit with her two kids which was nice.
Love Alphie’s gold Buddy Belt😁. We had looked at large trailers when we considered a vacation home on a lot but never made it happen.
Thank you:) they all have matching buddy belts. Would you ever still get a trailer, and if so what size do you think you would get?
@@MeganGraham I bet they are so adorable with matching BBS😁. Caleb has a black one for at home and a tan one for out and about with his tags. Love them, so thanks for that recommendation too. He gets the least matted from them.
🤔. I would never say never and lately being able to be mobile sounds like a blessing. We only looked at big ones as we had talked about leaving it there in lieu of building a structure but we never bought the lot. Be glad you left the city. It is no longer in good hands as far as political leadership. God bless you on your exciting adventure (I thought the picture message was cute😂). Stay in tough so we can all travel with you vicariously❣️
I don't really like to travel but if I did that would be the way to go! Stay safe and enjoy!
I know what you mean! I am a real homebody for sure, but I really wanted to get out, and to bring the yorkies (and Simba ). they are all having the time of their lives, and it is so fun to see. They love it when we get to a new park and they get t go on a walk and see new things. Living in Boston, we made the same circle around the Public Gardens walk a million times! Variety is nice:)
Glad you found something healthy to live in.
Thank you so much! We are so happy as well. This trailer has been working out perfectly.
Glad you are feeling better! Amber from Story Chasing has a gadget that warns her if the power goes off.
I will have tpo look into what she is using, thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
hi Megan and Jeff....so glad to see you back on youtube...you should watch campervan kevin.. he travels with 3 yorkies also
Great suggestion, thank you for that. Do you watch him?
@@MeganGraham yes i do..he has them very well trained..i also have a yorkie
I will watch him for sure. Right now we have really spotty internet, but when I get somewhere where it is better I will:)
I am pleased to hear you have found a workable solution! Stay healthy!
We are so happy, it is working out great!
I love your Yorkies they are so cute and lovely plus I'm from Yorkshire as well🙂
So cool that you are from Yorkshire. One of my friends is as well!
Awesome 😎 I really love your channel, not only for the content but also because I'm a fellow traveler myself and I can definitely learn something from you. If you're ever curious, check me out ✌️
Your videos are awesome! Do you have a drone? If so, what kind do you have? and do you like it? Jeff and I were thinking of getting one:)
