Oh, George, so happy for you to be able to get out and camp!!! God bless you and yours!!!❤ I love how your beautiful mind works and how you are always making camping better. I would love to watch a new series on you "Humble Roadizing" trailers!!!
A Dining Room Table for 24? Sheesh!!! Hello Redwood Tree! I like the Lancaster KOA lay out. So many "RV Parks" are Asphalt Parking Lots! George, in ten years you will need the entire campground for your family! Atta Boy!
I'm sooo excited for this trailer series!!!! We are not RVers yet but when we retire we would like to do a cross country trip and deciding on a trailer vs everything else is a huge decision. We may decide to rent.
Perfect timing, I've been thinking about converting a cargo trailer into a custom travel trailer as most out there don't fit my needs. Will be interesting to see what you do.
Fixing that thing up would be like putting lipstick on pigs. That sounds a little harsh, but those things are built 1x2 framing and staples. Certainly not the kind of good bones to install your high-test over engineered well crafted living space.
I just bought a much larger Italian dining room table for my ever growing family. Our five Grandkids are toddlers through late teens and we have to use two large tables now. God has Blessed us. Thanks Be To God!
Awesome update, well earned. The rub is you'll also need 24 chairs, are there enough Amish to deliver that project? My armchair thought about the good old caravan is an area of wasted space... Surely we can do something with the A-frame. I get we all need access to the hitch, brake, jockey wheel and can't go wider than the frame without impeding turning radius. However, that could be 1 m2 or 5 sq.ft of floor space plus full height. Storage, plant equipment or bathroom addition to a caravan. Maybe even better milage with a change in aerodynamics.
Looking forward to seeing what you do with that trailer. We were in the Lancaster area the past 2 weeks in our Roadtrek. It was really cold for this Florida girl - I think it was 22 one morning while we were there! The state parks up there are fabulous! Enjoy your time!!
Hello, George! What a shocker! I would’ve never believed I’d ever see you camping in a pull behind RV! You ARE continuously full of surprises though! 😁 Wishing a great and blessed Sunday! ~Jim~
Glad to see you take time off! Take care of your health and get some fresh air and exercise. Also, try to get sunlight as much as possible on bare skin. The health benefits are outstanding. The body functions better with direct sunlight recharging it. Very excited to hear about trailer mods. You will revolutionize that industry too. Warm clothes! What a concept. Not only warm but not damp either, if there is good air flow. Most fabrics smell moldy in motorhomes. Great idea. 24 people, yikes! Your family is exploding. How lovely. They must all be learning from Grandpa George, lucky kids! That camping site looks fabulous. I can smell the trees and wood smoke. What a fragrance that is. Forest bathing. We all need it. Have fun, George!! 😋
Oh my goodness, good for you. I can't believe you could go that long without camping!!!! And to have some of your children along must be FANTASTIC!!!! So glad to see you out doing something other than working that incredibly creative mind to death, oh wait, the gears are still churning 🤔Warm clothes cracked me up, Have you ever been camping in a tent in 30 degree weather???? or in your brand new empty cargo van that you've only had 5 days to stuff it with some insulation and put rubber puzzle like gym matting on the floor to try and keep out some of the cold, hung some insulated packing blankets along the walls nd traveled through a scary canyon in a snow storm with only 79 miles on your van (not enough time to get use to driving icy roads in the thing) and then woke up the next morning in the middle of nowhere to 29 degrees? if not, you don't know what cold clothing really feels like 🥶🤣. It is nice to have the luxury of warmth and if anybody can come up with a good solution it will be you! In the mean time, you can sleep with the clothes you are going to wear the next day inside your sleeping bag or bed, or sit on them for a bit before you put them on. Can't wait to see what you do with this trailer and what you end up with. In my opinion, there's nothing greater than camping with kids and grandkids, and nothing better than grandkids camping with their grandparents!
When we used to tent camp, I always brought my clothes into the sleeping bag with me. It was hard enough getting up when it was cold outside, but putting on freezing cold clothes was too much!
A. Enjoy your time with the family as camping is so awesome with the GANG! & B. Can't wait to see the "upgrade mods" made to the trailer ... my Dad used to call them Rinki-Dink as they are made with the lightest, cheapest materials ever. A rehab of those trailers are sorely necessary!
I wish I could do what you're doing. I had that small Ram pro master city, and it's barely enough room just to sleep in and store some stuff. But there's no room to really get organized. Maybe when I retire, I'll go your way. I like your trailer.
I’d love to see what you could do with a ground-up build of a travel trailer. Most I’ve been in look like they were built using the absolute cheapest materials/methods possible. I’m not saying it needs to be a ‘no expense spared” sort of thing, just built with quality and livability in mind.
Hi George, I’m glad you are out in the wild. I also have a travel trailer, it’s a 2005 but they still make them paper thin. I’m shocked that you have time to spend on the TT instead of building more vans. I’m looking forward to the TY transformation ❤
Great to see you getting some time away from the shop. Even the best need a break from time to time. I'd love to see Humble Road rebuild a Black Series trailer. The suspension and exterior is great for off road, back country camping, but the quality of their interiors has fallen dramatically.
I am sooo Happy to know you and June are enjoying camping with family! You deserve all that and then some!! But....ypur many brilliant ideas what do we do? Already trying to push out my build 2 years for a Humble Road build. That is 1 year longer than I was able to stretch. So these ideas can perhaps make that even longer. Point is we love your ideas whichnis why you are well worth waiting for but your brilliant ideas can keep you from the builds!! Perhaps you can work your camera magic and make 3 more of you??!!! Lol!! Wonder how June would handle that one 😅? HAVE fUN!!!
💡 Would love to see GEORGE💪❤ take a small "Bambi size" stealth cargo trailer and OUT-DO airstream with an HR⭐ build.... It would be AMAZING. (With 2 lithionics 630 bats too 😊)
George, you have an indelible zest for life and are always coming up with ways to improve it. Keep doing what you do and sharing you inspirational thoughts.
George 🏋️♀️ George you are so cool thank you for all the things you have taught me and you have no idea how many that is you are so much fun, God Bless you and your growing family 🤺👍
I really missed your travels and upgrades to the PleasureWay. Seems to me your last real trip was the Keys. Funny we had the grandkid problem too and bought an Amish table for all 14 of us! Now that’s over and all the grandkids have kids. Enjoy it while you have them ❤️
Humblify that trailer George! Glad you got to camp. What a glorious fall we’ve had here in the East. IMO, poor quality units delivered these past few years, especially in the Travel trailer or fifth wheels segments, significantly contributed to the lack of demand this year. I think for the money people spend they’re finally saying enough of this crap. However, with the costs of vans these days, with a higher quality product and innovation TT could make a comeback.
Excellent George, besides having fun with your hobby/dream/business, it is imperative you enjoy life with family and stress free doing what you love in the retirement age. Camping, one of your loves, should be done more often while you are able to enjoy nature. Stress free is important for quality life, keep up your destiny...
George, unrelated question: In your van builds, why don't you use sliding door area for a hidden shower setup? It's always empty and wasting space anyway. Many people use that area and it works fine.
@@HumbleRoad I understand. In your last build, you skipped the whole idea of a shower in order to open up the space, and made outdoor shower instead. In other words: They sacrificed the shower to win the space, but also ignored a massive space available and agreed to totally waste it... Something doesn't make sense here... Did they even know about this option available?
My personal advice, looking in from outside not knowing all business details. Just be careful not to expand humble road to quickly. Your doing multiple different chassis already alot of it is custom on big vans. Control demand with price. I would look at efficiency sit down one day in rolling chair in shop watch them work throughout the day and take notes. If they have to walk 10 times across entire shop to get a drill, well each bay should have one then. Things like that, cutting out 15hrs of build time will increase your margins later. Standardize each bay layout exactly the same... locations and tools. So if workers move to different project everything is the same. Things like that. Think like amazon warehouse.
My husband and I have been looking for a long time for a custom built travel trailer. We can't find a builder anywhere in the US. We found one in Canada but that's a long way from home in Tennessee. There is definitely a need for custom quality-built travel trailers. George, I think this is a niche market you should consider. If anyone knows of a custom travel trailer builder, let me know.
It was early in the morning. I just woke up. I’m working very hard. I’m getting older and I’m on hormone therapy. All things considered. I think I look pretty damn good!
I'm honestly surprised you don't have a humble road big boy ford drw build for yourself rather then getting travel trailer. Idk about humble road doing travel trailers I feel like thats whole different ball game that's going to take alot of r&d...in the end who your really competing with is airstream. To build these TT correctly its going to make them expensive hence you need to really assess what airstream is doing wrong, do alot of innovation, marine grade interior design, 8020 use and still keep costs reasonable. Also airstreams exterior design how are you going to make that better? Idk bud that's tall order to do it better.
I never said I was going to start building travel trailers. All I wanna do is bring mine up to speed and maybe sell it for a few extra bucks and upgrade for myself. I can give you the one overriding reason that I don’t have a DRW Ford transit for myself I can’t afford it. This travel trailer was $12,000. It gets me back in the campground for very little money.
Nothing quite like warm drawers. Looking forward to the remodel, and can't wait to see the table!
that sounds great George, have a great time and we are looking forward to your next video 👍
Oh, George, so happy for you to be able to get out and camp!!! God bless you and yours!!!❤
I love how your beautiful mind works and how you are always making camping better. I would love to watch a new series on you "Humble Roadizing" trailers!!!

You might be on to something with the campground idea. I can absolutely see that!
I'm sooo excited for this trailer series!!!! We are not RVers yet but when we retire we would like to do a cross country trip and deciding on a trailer vs everything else is a huge decision. We may decide to rent.
Perfect timing, I've been thinking about converting a cargo trailer into a custom travel trailer as most out there don't fit my needs. Will be interesting to see what you do.
George, when you say modify, my brain says "ooh the possibilities!" Enjoy your camping time.
Five years⁉️ You have created a quality brand, and a dedicated following in such a short span. Congratulations.
Fixing that thing up would be like putting lipstick on pigs. That sounds a little harsh, but those things are built 1x2 framing and staples. Certainly not the kind of good bones to install your high-test over engineered well crafted living space.
So happy you are out and about!
We have stayed at that wonderful campground and really enjoyed our stay!
Hope you have a grand time there!
I just bought a much larger Italian dining room table for my ever growing family. Our five Grandkids are toddlers through late teens and we have to use two large tables now. God has Blessed us. Thanks Be To God!
Hope it was a great trip. I hope you were successful finding a table for those special moments when family gather. Love your ideas George.
Nice to see you out and about taking some well deserved time off from the shop.
Sweet. I was born in Doylestown. Lived in Quakertown. Love your videos George.
I'm glad to see you're finally out doing some camping. Enjoy!
Take those breaks!! Keep up the great work!

Have a wonderful holiday and good luck finding the new dining room table!
Yeah for George and his wife! I’m glad you got out of the construction zone! Happy travel’s George!
So wonderful to see you enjoying some time out doing what inspired Humble Road in the first place. Makes me happy, too!
Glad to see you take time off! Take care of your health and get some fresh air and exercise. Also, try to get sunlight as much as possible on bare skin. The health benefits are outstanding. The body functions better with direct sunlight recharging it.

Love it!!! I can’t wait to see you HR it.
This sounds fun. Number 2 here thanks, George!
GEORGE💪❤ So good to see you taking a long-deserved break ❗ Will refresh you and my bet is you come up with many more great ideas while "off duty..."
Glad to see you taking some time off for you and your family
Humble-Road-a-tize-it! 😂 You go, George! I can see excellence coming in the world of travel trailer builds.

Glad you took a break George, you look like you needed it, before you said anything about the Trl’ I knew it was going to get “George’s” 😂😂😂

If it is George’s it will need a big sink !! Regards AJ
Good stuff. Isn’t.t the issue poor insulation?

I build to my client’s needs wishes and necessities

I can’t believe you bought an RV when you make such wonderful units! I know, you just wanted an excuse to keep thinking about work. 😂 Lol.
The only true resolution to your cold skivvies is a heated floor… done
