The feeling driving down the highway in a RV and looking in the rear view mirror and seeing the family happy is priceless. Using up the water taking a long shower will get you put out the RV🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The rv you have is a class A. I have a class C which is the one with a bed over the cab. Class B is a conversion van. I wouldnt own a trailer because if something happens I want to be able to go from my bed to the cab and drive off without having to go outside. Always back into yoir spot so you can just take iff in an emergency.
This is a good point re not going outside. Re Ann C's comment on the flexibility of a smaller vehicle while you're parked, I agree. That would be nice. Gotta weigh your needs. Can't remember if I saw it in a movie or irl, but there might be some you can drive a tiny car or bike right up into the back.
I enjoy your channel. I'm 34 years young and learned a lot from you. You also got me into gardening. I told my husband I plan on buying an RV or school bus next year. When I retire, I plan on selling my house and travel the world with my husband. Eventhough I'm 34, I work my ass off. By buying an RV will allow me to retire early or work part time. Tell Mrs. Lead hi for me. I enjoy her channel as well
I took a room in my house off grid. Battery operated shower, sink, rain water...to practice. I wash dishes in a dishpan, rinse each piece under running water. Shower, basically the same.
I lived in a motorhome for 3 years and found a place in a rural area to start gardening and to build a small house. I did it the other way around. I wont sell my motorhome it is the backup if we have to leave for security reasons.
I dont use my black tank. I put bags in my toilet. Im a cheap skate. I get the flower smelling trash bags from Dollar Tree. And throw them away at gas stations.
We've been Full-time Van Dwellers for 4 years now. I have 4, 120ah deep cycle batteries, 1 600w Flat solar panel, 2, 100w portable solar panels, and on top of our 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan a 100w solar panel and It has ever leak, or rattled 🙌🏾🙏🏾. On average, I get 145-150 miles on a quarter tank of gas, and when traveling, I never take him pass quarter tank. To clean our dishes, home, and to " flush our toilet ", we use 100% distilled vinegar and two spray bottles. We have a heated shower ( uses 5 gallons for the both of us once a week ) in-between time, we use wipes daily. and a washing machine that we use on shower day, which is usually Sunday. Total cost to get all that done is a grand total of $2. I used a camp stove to cook, but to cut the cost I cook over the camp fire a lot, with gathered wood. Cooking Mon, Tue with leftovers for Wed, Thru., Fri, Sat junk food like Hot Dogs & Burgers, and Sunday we have a Sunday dinner. This pass Sunday, I made Fried Baby Back Ribs, Sweet Potatoes, and Spinach ( inside the van ). So when you say, RVs, or whatever vehicle you choose to live is like having a steering wheel in your living room. It's so true, I have in my minivan all the creature comforts of sticks and bricks.
If u want to use the shower in an RV turn the water on just to get a quick lather and turn it off. Wash up and then turn it on just long enough to get a quick rinse.
@@oururbanjourney8881 ...Smart. That's actually something everyone should be doing. Just like running the water while brushing your teeth it's not really necessary to let the shower run while your washing up.
I live full time in my Rv on an abandoned property with a house. I found the owner and we agreed on $23,000 for the house. $500 mo. I want to build it off grid for my future generations. The bible says one day we wont be able to buy or sell without the mark. Plus if theres a worse pandemic we can sustaine ourselves. We dont even need to go to a grocery store. All I know is God is telling me to build this and I follow Him. But as of now we can park our rv on BLM- Bureau of Land Management land for free. Also Cracker Barrel is free and walmarts are cracking down on over night parking. Not many Walmarts left that do it.
Lead, I am in the process of fixing my 1979 Winnebago, but I have to order a manual for it, cause I want to learn everything about it, from the on board generator to the water,and sewer. I have had it for many year's, and with the sign of the times has me in full throttle mode to get it done, plus I had to finally buy a 12 quart Mirro canner used due to being in a hurry to try to can meats up for my large family. I am the oldest,and only one they have in our bloodline. Thank you again for everything. I am trying so hard.
You can tow a vehicle behind an rv. But for me I wouldnt get the tow with the 4 wheels down. Id get the one with two wheels on. The tow bar youll need a seperate break to put on the car break and hook it up. The 2 wheel tow is quick and easy to hook up. Sorry Im commenting so much. I just dont want people to learn this stuff the hard way.

Hello. I just found your chanel a couple days ago. I'm so glad you are putting forth this kind of content. Now, I can't wait to see what you encourage next. I started canning a year ago now, I'm going to grow mine, including fruit trees. BTW, enjoy the humor. God bless you & your family.
I just purchased another camper and I love living in it. I started to purchase mine over two years ago. I didn't buy a new one because it's cheaper to live in. I don't pay rent. I don't pay a lot of things that people do. My Bills are cutin half. People should realize that just in case something happens. You have a place to live. You don't have to buy a large one.
Love the subject of this video! We bought a not so normal vehicle and are renovating it into an rv…we built a shower, sink, toilet, convertible bed etc. in it to be mobile and for sustainable living if the power in our home goes out. In 09/2019, I heard the message so clear from Yah to prepare and continue on and we have been doing that ever since so I am sharing with anyone reading this…prepare yourselves spiritually and physically and continue on. Be mindful of what you allow to take up your time and think of what is worth your time and energy bc the enemy puts a lot in front of you to distract you but stay on the right path and Yah will never forsake you. Love this family and the help they give. Take care! 🥰🙋🏾♀️ ❤️
As an engineer, I would prep the surface and strong adhesive mount wood mounting pads on top of my Rv, and screw mount anything on top of my RV with a wind deflector instead of drilling directly into the sheet metal.
I have a travel trailer for recreation and prepping. Having a TT was very helpful a few years back when I had to evacuate my home due to a leaking dam here in Norcal. Traffic was terrible as EVERYONE was evacuating down two highways. Don't think you will go anywhere fast and campgrounds will fill up quickly in an evacuation scenario. I was able to park my trailer at a friend's house.
When I lived in my rv I bought a two and a half gallon garden sprayer. I painted it black and left it in the front window all day. After work I had a hot shower. It was heavenly. Cost me 15 dollars to make and wasn't as heavy as lugging around a bucket.
As usual Mr. Lead this video of full of knowledge, thank you. I been looking at rvs to purchase one. I also have been watching videos of people living in their rv full time. If people want to get some insight on people who can only go to the store a few times a year, they can watch some of videos for people living in Alaska. Its eye opening.
Hey Lead Farmer thanks for all you do, I have learned a lot from you. Tuned in late tonight’s show ,but need a lot of information on R V living, I’ll comment once I check you out later. 😎
An rv is off grid. The grid is the electric company, gas company, water company. An rv usnt connected to the grid unless you connect it to sure power like in a trailer park etc.
Off grid is also rarely if ever needing a grocery store too! Especially for those preppers who've also well learned/know to bring along for road trips or flees in RVs not only dry nonperishable/cured preserved canned foods, but also importantly how to search for, identify/forage edible wild plants/mushrooms, and how/where to fish and hunt/trap, skin, gut, preserve, fast build fires to well cook or smoke-dry big to small wild game. All these skills and others are vital/crucial to off-grid survival.
Thanks for the video. I found out Friday night I got the CV and sleep ever since. I couldn't even sleep anymore today. Decided to check you and learned a lot. Guess I'll have to catch Lady Lead on the next one.
I seek to be prudent. I pray too that nothing happens beyond smaller natural disasters. Power out a week? I can turn that into an adventure. Permanent grid down? Prepping won’t make it easy. I appreciate your down to earth approach. And I agree that demons walk who seek to destroy but look like the mom picking her kid up from school, or the college student walking his dog before biking to class.
Thank very much dear lead for all the time and effort you put into your channel to share information! Your RV looks like ours. So this has given info on how to do what you're doing as an example! 😃😃😃 ! Stay blessed!
Duriing my Naval career living on Navy ships out in the middle of the ocean ,living in a space the size 500 square feet ! We called a berthing which was where we slept , 40 people ! Are beds which were called coffin racks cause they opened like a coffin ,thats were you put your cloths inside ! They were stacked 3 high like bunk beds ! We had to take Navy showers ! Because the water is limited on a Navy ship ! You spray water on you ! Turn ir off ,lather up and spray it off 5 min ! Am not going to even talk about living out in the field , most of you I dont think would even imagine it !
Hell yah it's a good idea Lead, you can pimp it out to yours and Mrs.Leads liking and you can travel and sight see to wherever you guys feel like with a small part of your home on wheels! It will also be invaluable in case of an emergency where yall just have to dip at a moments notice. I would like to warn you though that RV's often have problems and frequent breakdowns whether it be the engine or the grey water tanks intake or just some electrical issues so get ready for some of those ahead of time.
Atlas map and gazetter map are two things to always have updated hard copies of. That way you can always find fire roads to camp on or water or wood even if the internet is down. Best of all alternative routes outside where you live.
I wish I would hit this live!!! Some dump stations are free and some are like $20. I just dont want to have to worry about dumping. Thats one less thing off my mind. But for those that do I wouldnt throw toilet paper in and put some water first or the poop will just pile in a pile there and itll look filled up and cant fit more in. Gotta make sure itll swish around. If that makes sense. Happened to me before.
Technology is everywhere there’s nowhere to run and nowhere to hide they have thought of everything….. but the rv may buy a little time hope Jesus comes back soon that’s our escape plan alleluia!!! God bless everyone !!!
I never comment but I had to when I peeped those X-infection tabs in the cabinet, knocks out any cold within three days , happy my mom and I found your channel much love
Boondocking is free camping. Four of us usually make the water last about 2 weeks. Then move to dump station, refill water tanks, fuel, groceries, etc. Once every 6 weeks we would stay at a campground where we could power up, water up, take long showers (on-demand hot water instead of hot water tank). There are some great apps to use to find overnight parking spots, free camping spots, lots of great info available at some of the boondocking sites. When boondocking, heat water and cook over a fire instead of inside.
Those commercials date you....funny as all get out though. Thanks for this info. Most Americans couldn't survive if a real catastrophe happens. That house probably won't fit under the McDonalds drive through. lol
Great video as usual Lead. We have a house, and 2 RV's. 1 RV -36' Fifth wheel is parked on leased land/RV park and can't be moved by us (we don't have a truck). The other RV 34' is a class C. We already had them, and then I started getting serious about preparing. So the Class C will be our get-out-of-town vehicle. We bought land for our out-of-town vehicle. I have prepped all 3 locations...just in case. I have an inventory for each location. It cost a lot of $$ but the peace of mind is worth it.
Slide outs break down and leak. And if you get a slide out see if you want to be able to open the fridge with the slide in. Some you can and some you cant. Its important to some and not important to others. I wouldnt buy one with a slide. I dont want that head ache.
Question~ have you thought of a drop in trap door to cover your stairs when your in for the night? Gives you more square footage. Might I suggest get locks and alarms for your compartments and hot water door.
Theres also Slab City if you heard of that place. I havent been there yet but theres videos about it but California has so many laws agains full timers. They hate them. If you want to park there by the beach get a regular looking van and blackout the windows. They have regulations on vehicles over so many feet long and tall.
I loved living in my 5th in Ocala. I paid 310.00 a month for lot rent with electric, sewage, trash, lawn care, cable and internet included. Until I had my stroke and my daughter made me move back to New Hampshire 😒
I bought a 25ft Minni Winni and I regret selling it for a fifth wheel because wanted bigger because there were two of us. The water stopped working and now a slide won’t go out. It’s on my daughters homestead. Using as a back up if I have to leave, here in the High Rockies. If the electricity or gas goes out it’s cold up here. I do have a fireplace and River for water. Motor home high gas prices, park it somewhere as a tiny home.
Some ppl need internet for work like theres therapists, accountants, etc who work mobil who need internet. Boosters are great I heard. I also heard be careful with campground internet. Theyre slow and they can get your info.
I have the truckers edition of the WeBoost, and it is absolutely wonderful. I camp up in the Colorado mountains, and the deserts of Arizona all the time. I can stream movies, and do my live broadcasts, and I always have enough WiFi signal to do so. I highly recommend it!!
I suggest that people attend RV Shows because they give workshops and answer questions such as what to look for when buying an Rv. They explain the shower 🚿 rule (if you can’t stand comfortably in the shower, DON’T BUY THE RV!). And so much more. Go to an RV SHOW.
Thank you for what you do ! I loved this and you know I remember lily Thomas in this movie .. the incredible shrinking woman ! That was one of my favorites
I am grateful for the information and wisdom that you share with us. Thank you LF73🙏🏾. Now about trusting people, here is some wisdom from the scriptures. Enjoy 😊 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. Jeremiah 17 KJV
Theres places to work for full timers. Over the summer people can go to National Forests and work there cleaning up. Septand October theres the sugar beet harvest season in South Dakota where you can get oaid like $2,000 for 6 wks of work, after that theres Amazon for Christmas the let fulltime Rvers park and some of their warehouses while they work that season etc. Work as much or as little as works for you.
1:45:46 Real talk brother. Clothes can be dirty, but it's keeping your body clean that keeps you healthy. Smell is not a problem and we all smelled, but just "Let it go". We in a training situation OR A REAL SITUATION!!!
I love you man you're so informative and don't waste words. When you show or tell us something you're not bragging or trying to show off you're showing us how you do it and we can take it or leave it 😊 I would love to have one of your elephant ears they are so beautiful also I watched you video on the 70, 80 and 90 people let me tell you I have a pair of the Cross Color jeans that belonged to my son he was born in the late sixties. I just for some reason could not let them go and they still have the razor sharp crease.😁✌
Can you take it to the back country?What happens when you run out of gas or can't find any?propane will be scarce, Not to mention ,You would have to fight to protect it,
Heyyyy Lead!!!!!! I've been trying to figure out what your screen name means for all the years that I have been watching you. I just got it!

Me and my wife just bought a 1984 Chevy van 30 class C motorhome need some work done on the top bed leak real bad we paid $1,000 for it has 49600 it's our everyday
I know this is 5 months old. But it is just what I needed to hear. My family and I are looking into getting a a F150 and a RV. I was wondering how will I fit all of my family in it. I cant leave my mom, sister, daughter and her family and 2 sons behind.
I'll tell you I was raised native American and Scottish and Cherokee and all that and. I keep them water bottles for about everything. I have a few bottles I use different things in like alcohol and spray bottle or I'll delute the alcohol in the spray bottle and I'll use a homemade cleanser just to spray off vegetables you don't need to use a big spicket for everything. one bottle I'll keep a little peroxide about 2 inches peroxide or less I had about over half of a bottle of water and I'll put maybe like three or four little soap spray pumps in that bottle shake It up and that would be a good way to use when you don't want to use your main big water spicket in your RV. And I believe in those detergent bottles I used to have a ton of them I think I got rid of some of them cuz I had too many and my husband kept laughing at me telling me we ain't going to never need all those bottles LOL. And I think I still got some now I do keep these like tea bottles the store makes. You start with this square bottles clear bottles and It's got the groove where you can hold it better on the sides I have dried them out wash them out I've had put rice in them I use it for storage I use them for everything. I even got where I thought about today I've been sick for over a week cuz I was having some issues and I couldn't eat too good because I really was weak and so I was drinking the electrolytes lights in the bottle the ones you can get for like $4 for a good size little bottle of water. Those bottles are strong as well as I've ever seen they're even stronger and thicker than the detergent bottles and I thought to myself instead of buying water bottles and all that crazy stuff .Why don't I just use one of them you can feel it up use it as a freezer bottle to freeze things in a cooler and they were perfect bottles and they're like $5 but you're getting the drink with it and then I'm thinking well gee whiz I need to buy more of these.I was raised in the Virginia's I live in North Carolina myself. Right near the coast .And the pineapples you mentioned and one video I like to grow pineapples and they are very good when you grow yourself. And yeah people don't understand you can get away with less water than you than you need. I've had to go to work a few times we had hurricanes and I will use a gallon of water to take a whole shower and I will feel just as clean as if I had used a whole regular shower or bathtub full of water or anything like that .And I thought about looking in buying me some of those water showers were like if the power goes off you got that 5 gallon water bag where you can let the water run through a little tube but just a good way to do things too I think. But I've always been like a survivalist girl myself I'm in my 50s years old so and I got two sons live with me they don't want to get married and so we live in the same house unit and no thirties two of them and we're still the other day here with us. But we live on our means we don't live richly we got what we need if things get bad. Power goes out you got candles you got I mean I'm still trying to look to see if I can find me something good to use as a solar panel I mean I want to get me one of them but a little thing for you plug it in the car to play your phones in and your one one outlet for the power now I would like to have one of those I saw them on the Amazon one day. And do believe in what you say about plentiful of blankets and all those kind of things. And I was prepping as much as I could before the pandemic and I'll tell people just get a little handful here a handful there. And we do grow our own orchard we have a lot of pear trees some plum trees apples and I have got pecan trees we got I'm going to try to grow me some more pineapple trees. And I do use cedar trees like pine feeders you can use those for pine needle tease and all kinds of stuff. I used to grow lemons and limes from seeds and they do grow good you just got to take care of them don't let the sun kill and then I did have two pretty fine Apple tree's I had two pretty pineapple tree's I mean sorry y'all I had two pineapples and I let him die I was wanting to see if they would make it in the cold in the North Carolina. if so gets pretty doggone cold out here sometimes so it would be hard on them unless you cover them up that will help we do keep a lot of grapes and stuff growing things like that big trees and we got rabbits we got livestock you know like well we don't have to be livestock we got like a chickens and ducks and things like that and they will fertilize your plant still fertilize your fruit trees. I got pears that the hair last year then thing for two times size the ones you buy in the store but that's because of the runoff from where your animals live at they fertilize your yard naturally for free so I'm all good with that. So yeah the least of water you can use the better on certain things .I remember I used to live in the city and my water bill was like $40 a month and I was watering plants in a city then and it was around $60 a month after the summer well then after after the summer it would drop back down to about 40 right and I don't do clothes everyday of the week. I wear my outfits a few Times . I've saved a lot of money on detergent anything you got to do save. And we're not filthy people I just think it's stupid to overdo your clothes when you pay good money for them I mean it's just really crazy. But I love your ideas you got great ideas and I laugh when I'm watching your shows cuz I enjoy them so much. Ive watched 3 hour's 😂 worth and not realizing it. I always loved people from different cultures different ethnics I've never had a prejudice bone in my body. And that's why my grandmother was that way my whole family is that way.
The feeling driving down the highway in a RV and looking in the rear view mirror and seeing the family happy is priceless. Using up the water taking a long shower will get you put out the RV🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
95% of everyone I've known who had an RV owned it for 2-3 years and then got rid of it. They're a pain in the behind, and a total money pit.

You can tow a vehicle behind an rv. But for me I wouldnt get the tow with the 4 wheels down. Id get the one with two wheels on.

Trash bag in a pail with cheap baby disposable diaper works good.
Diaper absorbs fluid and mess and can be tossed out in the trash bag.
They are made to decompose

If you can drive a large Uhaul Truck, you can drive an RV.
The best thing ever, is a case of baby wipes made with water. I can add vinegar, alcohol, dish soap, or vodka...to individual packs.
We definitely buy, by the case. And those travel size body washes, last forever with the small amount that needed.
Optimistic prepper🙋🏽♀️Loved the replay 👍🏽 Missed the live. Thanks for all you do teacher lead 👍🏽 prep🍅🥬🌽🥦n pray🙏🏽 Everyone

God bless you & your family.
I just purchased another camper and I love living in it. I started to purchase mine over two years ago. I didn't buy a new one because it's cheaper to live in. I don't pay rent. I don't pay a lot of things that people do. My Bills are cutin half. People should realize that just in case something happens. You have a place to live. You don't have to buy a large one.
Love the subject of this video! We bought a not so normal vehicle and are renovating it into an rv…we built a shower, sink, toilet, convertible bed etc. in it to be mobile and for sustainable living if the power in our home goes out. In 09/2019, I heard the message so clear from Yah to prepare and continue on and we have been doing that ever since so I am sharing with anyone reading this…prepare yourselves spiritually and physically and continue on. Be mindful of what you allow to take up your time and think of what is worth your time and energy bc the enemy puts a lot in front of you to distract you but stay on the right path and Yah will never forsake you. Love this family and the help they give. Take care! 🥰🙋🏾♀️ ❤️
As an engineer, I would prep the surface and strong adhesive mount wood mounting pads on top of my Rv, and screw mount anything on top of my RV with a wind deflector instead of drilling directly into the sheet metal.
I have a travel trailer for recreation and prepping. Having a TT was very helpful a few years back when I had to evacuate my home due to a leaking dam here in Norcal. Traffic was terrible as EVERYONE was evacuating down two highways. Don't think you will go anywhere fast and campgrounds will fill up quickly in an evacuation scenario. I was able to park my trailer at a friend's house.
@@grumpygrannysgoatsngardens3185 yep, that was crazy.
When I lived in my rv I bought a two and a half gallon garden sprayer. I painted it black and left it in the front window all day. After work I had a hot shower. It was heavenly. Cost me 15 dollars to make and wasn't as heavy as lugging around a bucket.
As usual Mr. Lead this video of full of knowledge, thank you. I been looking at rvs to purchase one. I also have been watching videos of people living in their rv full time. If people want to get some insight on people who can only go to the store a few times a year, they can watch some of videos for people living in Alaska. Its eye opening.
Hey Lead Farmer thanks for all you do, I have learned a lot from you. Tuned in late tonight’s show ,but need a lot of information on R V living, I’ll comment once I check you out later. 😎
Yep!!! In cities etc. I HATE the cops coming and they come at 3 am!!! Asking you all kinds of questions when I cant think at 3 am.
An rv is off grid. The grid is the electric company, gas company, water company. An rv usnt connected to the grid unless you connect it to sure power like in a trailer park etc.
Off grid is also rarely if ever needing a grocery store too! Especially for those preppers who've also well learned/know to bring along for road trips or flees in RVs not only dry nonperishable/cured preserved canned foods, but also importantly how to search for, identify/forage edible wild plants/mushrooms, and how/where to fish and hunt/trap, skin, gut, preserve, fast build fires to well cook or smoke-dry big to small wild game. All these skills and others are vital/crucial to off-grid survival.
Thanks for the video. I found out Friday night I got the CV and sleep ever since. I couldn't even sleep anymore today. Decided to check you and learned a lot. Guess I'll have to catch Lady Lead on the next one.
NaTasha praying for your quick recovery from Covid.
@@Kristyrich77 thanks. It's no joke!!
I’m late commenting - but if you and your family travels west- I can give you a safe stopping place with all the necessities for your camper.
I seek to be prudent. I pray too that nothing happens beyond smaller natural disasters. Power out a week? I can turn that into an adventure. Permanent grid down? Prepping won’t make it easy. I appreciate your down to earth approach. And I agree that demons walk who seek to destroy but look like the mom picking her kid up from school, or the college student walking his dog before biking to class.
Love that you teach generational wealth with growth of food, family farm and prepping.
Love your tip on using the soap container for washing up hands... perfectly fine once you rinse it out.
Thank very much dear lead for all the time and effort you put into your channel to share information! Your RV looks like ours. So this has given info on how to do what you're doing as an example! 😃😃😃 ! Stay blessed!
Duriing my Naval career living on Navy ships out in the middle of the ocean ,living in a space the size 500 square feet ! We called a berthing which was where we slept , 40 people ! Are beds which were called coffin racks cause they opened like a coffin ,thats were you put your cloths inside ! They were stacked 3 high like bunk beds ! We had to take Navy showers ! Because the water is limited on a Navy ship ! You spray water on you ! Turn ir off ,lather up and spray it off 5 min ! Am not going to even talk about living out in the field , most of you I dont think would even imagine it !
Funny thing, in Michigan, people pay storage facilities to store their rv's...and they live in them.
Excellent use of the Detergent container for a hand washing station. I am going to use one near my grill.
Hell yah it's a good idea Lead, you can pimp it out to yours and Mrs.Leads liking and you can travel and sight see to wherever you guys feel like with a small part of your home on wheels! It will also be invaluable in case of an emergency where yall just have to dip at a moments notice. I would like to warn you though that RV's often have problems and frequent breakdowns whether it be the engine or the grey water tanks intake or just some electrical issues so get ready for some of those ahead of time.
Atlas map and gazetter map are two things to always have updated hard copies of. That way you can always find fire roads to camp on or water or wood even if the internet is down. Best of all alternative routes outside where you live.
I was thinking it'd be a good idea to have one even just to be able to have air conditioning during power outage!?
I wish I would hit this live!!! Some dump stations are free and some are like $20. I just dont want to have to worry about dumping. Thats one less thing off my mind. But for those that do I wouldnt throw toilet paper in and put some water first or the poop will just pile in a pile there and itll look filled up and cant fit more in. Gotta make sure itll swish around. If that makes sense. Happened to me before.
I had just noticed your mustache, then you picked up your coffee cup! Priceless…thank you for the smile from ear to ear!
Amen it ain't over. Thank you Lead, for sharing.
Technology is everywhere there’s nowhere to run and nowhere to hide they have thought of everything….. but the rv may buy a little time hope Jesus comes back soon that’s our escape plan alleluia!!! God bless everyone !!!
I never comment but I had to when I peeped those X-infection tabs in the cabinet, knocks out any cold within three days , happy my mom and I found your channel much love
I believe in the MOST HIGH wherever I am is bless nothing is going to happen I will always have food clothing n shelter.
Lol you’re really entertaining and you have a good voice👏✨🌻 thanks so much for being you lol♥️
How are we going to get gas? Been thinking about this. Any thoughts?
Just met u on here a few weeks ago and really enjoy your videos. Don’t forget to unblock your accidental blocks!
Idk if all rvs are like this but the gas from the generator comes from your gas tank and wont work if your gas is below a quarter tank.
Boondocking is free camping. Four of us usually make the water last about 2 weeks. Then move to dump station, refill water tanks, fuel, groceries, etc. Once every 6 weeks we would stay at a campground where we could power up, water up, take long showers (on-demand hot water instead of hot water tank). There are some great apps to use to find overnight parking spots, free camping spots, lots of great info available at some of the boondocking sites. When boondocking, heat water and cook over a fire instead of inside.
I never do #2 in my trailer. I have a luggable loo like you have. Good idea.
Those commercials date you....funny as all get out though. Thanks for this info. Most Americans couldn't survive if a real catastrophe happens. That house probably won't fit under the McDonalds drive through. lol
Great video as usual Lead. We have a house, and 2 RV's. 1 RV -36' Fifth wheel is parked on leased land/RV park and can't be moved by us (we don't have a truck). The other RV 34' is a class C. We already had them, and then I started getting serious about preparing. So the Class C will be our get-out-of-town vehicle. We bought land for our out-of-town vehicle. I have prepped all 3 locations...just in case. I have an inventory for each location. It cost a lot of $$ but the peace of mind is worth it.
Reusing the detergent bottle is an excellent idea!
Slide outs break down and leak. And if you get a slide out see if you want to be able to open the fridge with the slide in. Some you can and some you cant. Its important to some and not important to others. I wouldnt buy one with a slide. I dont want that head ache.
I love that screen door!!! Your rv is beautiful!!!
Question~ have you thought of a drop in trap door to cover your stairs when your in for the night? Gives you more square footage. Might I suggest get locks and alarms for your compartments and hot water door.
They have black shower bags. Lay it in the sun to heat up the water it has a shower head but yeah every drop of water counts!
Theres also Slab City if you heard of that place. I havent been there yet but theres videos about it but California has so many laws agains full timers. They hate them. If you want to park there by the beach get a regular looking van and blackout the windows. They have regulations on vehicles over so many feet long and tall.
For families that have never used an RV before, what is the best way to get started trying it out to figure out which one to buy?
I loved living in my 5th in Ocala. I paid 310.00 a month for lot rent with electric, sewage, trash, lawn care, cable and internet included. Until I had my stroke and my daughter made me move back to New Hampshire 😒
Those plants are gorgeous!
I've been behind on your videos. I have laughed so much watching this video. Thanks Lead!!!@🤣🤣🤣
Great informative video!
I bought a 25ft Minni Winni and I regret selling it for a fifth wheel because wanted bigger because there were two of us. The water stopped working and now a slide won’t go out. It’s on my daughters homestead. Using as a back up if I have to leave, here in the High Rockies. If the electricity or gas goes out it’s cold up here. I do have a fireplace and River for water. Motor home high gas prices, park it somewhere as a tiny home.
Some ppl need internet for work like theres therapists, accountants, etc who work mobil who need internet. Boosters are great I heard. I also heard be careful with campground internet. Theyre slow and they can get your info.
I have the truckers edition of the WeBoost, and it is absolutely wonderful.
I camp up in the Colorado mountains, and the deserts of Arizona all the time. I can stream movies, and do my live broadcasts, and I always have enough WiFi signal to do so. I highly recommend it!!
The very first responders on 9/11 were the flight attendants. Throats slit, etc. No one ever acknowledges them.
I suggest that people attend RV Shows because they give workshops and answer questions such as what to look for when buying an Rv. They explain the shower 🚿 rule (if you can’t stand comfortably in the shower, DON’T BUY THE RV!). And so much more. Go to an RV SHOW.
Thank you for what you do ! I loved this and you know I remember lily Thomas in this movie .. the incredible shrinking woman ! That was one of my favorites
I have a motorhome in storage because there are no rv spaces to rent in Arizona.
I am grateful for the information and wisdom that you share with us. Thank you LF73🙏🏾. Now about trusting people, here is some wisdom from the scriptures. Enjoy 😊
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
Jeremiah 17 KJV
Cant you put a compost toilet in the RV? Loving this info! Cant wait to get an RV!
Yes you can!! A lot of RVers/ VanLifers I know, have made the switch to a composting toilet.
@@oururbanjourney8881 thanks for letting me know. Keeping poop dry is better than keeping it wet.
If its yellow let it mellow if its brown flush it down
Theres places to work for full timers. Over the summer people can go to National Forests and work there cleaning up. Septand October theres the sugar beet harvest season in South Dakota where you can get oaid like $2,000 for 6 wks of work, after that theres Amazon for Christmas the let fulltime Rvers park and some of their warehouses while they work that season etc. Work as much or as little as works for you.
Wow. Thanks for the info. Hope to see you Sacramento. How do you clean those windows.
1:45:46 Real talk brother. Clothes can be dirty, but it's keeping your body clean that keeps you healthy. Smell is not a problem and we all smelled, but just "Let it go". We in a training situation OR A REAL SITUATION!!!
Love it!!!!
God Bless
👍👍👍
3 min shower. Water not on the whole time. Just to start and then to rinse. ;)
Exactly....and with cold water to save energy and make u move faster to hurry up and get out of there.
A marine shower
I love you man you're so informative and don't waste words. When you show or tell us something you're not bragging or trying to show off you're showing us how you do it and we can take it or leave it 😊
I would love to have one of your elephant ears they are so beautiful also I watched you video on the 70, 80 and 90 people let me tell you I have a pair of the Cross Color jeans that belonged to my son he was born in the late sixties. I just for some reason could not let them go and they still have the razor sharp crease.😁✌
Your RV is Beautiful!❤
Walmart also permits RVs to park at their locations.
Most wal marts don't allow parking now!!!
I think that depends on the state, because a lot of the Walmarts here in Colorado allow overnight parking.
Can you take it to the back country?What happens when you run out of gas or can't find any?propane will be scarce, Not to mention ,You would have to fight to protect it,
Keep safe and hope everything goes well for you.
Heyyyy Lead!!!!!! I've been trying to figure out what your screen name means for all the years that I have been watching you. I just got it!

LOVE YOUR SHOW AND SHARE IT ON ALL MY SOCIAL MEDIA AND MY FAMILY ASEOOO
Can bougeRV folders be used on the energizer and what connections are needed to power up correctly?
I'm buying land and will continue to learn from you.
Wassup. Watching from NC
I'm NC to...in the house! Lol
Wow, I just tuned in. Who made you upset? You had that postal tone. I can say that cause I work for the post office. I thought I was back at work.
I know this is 5 months old. But it is just what I needed to hear. My family and I are looking into getting a a F150 and a RV. I was wondering how will I fit all of my family in it. I cant leave my mom, sister, daughter and her family and 2 sons behind.
Clipper was in the cooler/ Frig
I'll tell you I was raised native American and Scottish and Cherokee and all that and. I keep them water bottles for about everything. I have a few bottles I use different things in like alcohol and spray bottle or I'll delute the alcohol in the spray bottle and I'll use a homemade cleanser just to spray off vegetables you don't need to use a big spicket for everything. one bottle I'll keep a little peroxide about 2 inches peroxide or less I had about over half of a bottle of water and I'll put maybe like three or four little soap spray pumps in that bottle shake It up and that would be a good way to use when you don't want to use your main big water spicket in your RV. And I believe in those detergent bottles I used to have a ton of them I think I got rid of some of them cuz I had too many and my husband kept laughing at me telling me we ain't going to never need all those bottles LOL. And I think I still got some now I do keep these like tea bottles the store makes. You start with this square bottles clear bottles and It's got the groove where you can hold it better on the sides I have dried them out wash them out I've had put rice in them I use it for storage I use them for everything. I even got where I thought about today I've been sick for over a week cuz I was having some issues and I couldn't eat too good because I really was weak and so I was drinking the electrolytes lights in the bottle the ones you can get for like $4 for a good size little bottle of water. Those bottles are strong as well as I've ever seen they're even stronger and thicker than the detergent bottles and I thought to myself instead of buying water bottles and all that crazy stuff .Why don't I just use one of them you can feel it up use it as a freezer bottle to freeze things in a cooler and they were perfect bottles and they're like $5 but you're getting the drink with it and then I'm thinking well gee whiz I need to buy more of these.I was raised in the Virginia's I live in North Carolina myself. Right near the coast .And the pineapples you mentioned and one video I like to grow pineapples and they are very good when you grow yourself. And yeah people don't understand you can get away with less water than you than you need. I've had to go to work a few times we had hurricanes and I will use a gallon of water to take a whole shower and I will feel just as clean as if I had used a whole regular shower or bathtub full of water or anything like that .And I thought about looking in buying me some of those water showers were like if the power goes off you got that 5 gallon water bag where you can let the water run through a little tube but just a good way to do things too I think. But I've always been like a survivalist girl myself I'm in my 50s years old so and I got two sons live with me they don't want to get married and so we live in the same house unit and no thirties two of them and we're still the other day here with us. But we live on our means we don't live richly we got what we need if things get bad. Power goes out you got candles you got I mean I'm still trying to look to see if I can find me something good to use as a solar panel I mean I want to get me one of them but a little thing for you plug it in the car to play your phones in and your one one outlet for the power now I would like to have one of those I saw them on the Amazon one day. And do believe in what you say about plentiful of blankets and all those kind of things. And I was prepping as much as I could before the pandemic and I'll tell people just get a little handful here a handful there. And we do grow our own orchard we have a lot of pear trees some plum trees apples and I have got pecan trees we got I'm going to try to grow me some more pineapple trees. And I do use cedar trees like pine feeders you can use those for pine needle tease and all kinds of stuff. I used to grow lemons and limes from seeds and they do grow good you just got to take care of them don't let the sun kill and then I did have two pretty fine Apple tree's I had two pretty pineapple tree's I mean sorry y'all I had two pineapples and I let him die I was wanting to see if they would make it in the cold in the North Carolina. if so gets pretty doggone cold out here sometimes so it would be hard on them unless you cover them up that will help we do keep a lot of grapes and stuff growing things like that big trees and we got rabbits we got livestock you know like well we don't have to be livestock we got like a chickens and ducks and things like that and they will fertilize your plant still fertilize your fruit trees. I got pears that the hair last year then thing for two times size the ones you buy in the store but that's because of the runoff from where your animals live at they fertilize your yard naturally for free so I'm all good with that. So yeah the least of water you can use the better on certain things .I remember I used to live in the city and my water bill was like $40 a month and I was watering plants in a city then and it was around $60 a month after the summer well then after after the summer it would drop back down to about 40 right and I don't do clothes everyday of the week. I wear my outfits a few Times . I've saved a lot of money on detergent anything you got to do save. And we're not filthy people I just think it's stupid to overdo your clothes when you pay good money for them I mean it's just really crazy. But I love your ideas you got great ideas and I laugh when I'm watching your shows cuz I enjoy them so much. Ive watched 3 hour's 😂 worth and not realizing it. I always loved people from different cultures different ethnics I've never had a prejudice bone in my body. And that's why my grandmother was that way my whole family is that way.
