I’m going to do it ASAP! I’ll be 50 in two years when my youngest graduates and I can sell my house. I love my friends and my job but I can’t afford this house by myself much longer. I’m scraping by to give my kids the stability they need. But as soon as they can be on their own (or with their dad if needed) I am out! I want to see and do ALL the things before I’m too old to enjoy it all. I told my son I’d love to be a cashier at a gift shop in Yellowstone- he looked at me like I was crazy- but honestly, that’s what I want to do!
@Karilee Taylor The people who work seasonal jobs at national parks are called national park bums from the tradition of nicknames at Yellowstone such as pearl divers are dishwashers
@@KarileeTYou're gonna love it ,make sure you consult Liz before you buy an rv or a van ,there's alot of undesirable folk just waiting to rip someone off ,you'll need the correct advice to steer clear of the shark's 🤟🤠💯🙏 GOOD LUCK 👍
I gave up my house and all of the stuff in it soon to be six years ago for the RV lifestyle. I know I could never live in a house again, just the thought of not being able to move about this awesome country meeting new people and seeing amazing things makes me crazy. You said it perfectly Liz!!!!! ❤
Liz, let me first say that we love your channel! RV full time living is not for everyone, though. We dabbled in it for a while, but it wasn’t for us. My wife and I are similar in that we like to have a permanent place to call home . I have to believe that some due diligence research on your part would have avoided the awful location your home was located in. For our part, my wife and I have found that having a “sticks and bricks” home is much more secure than living full time in an RV. In fact, trips in our RV are more special to us BECAUSE they aren’t day to day living - they are trips to “get away” and see something new. Different strokes for different folks I guess!
Hi Alfred! Unfortunately we bought that house in the summer when traffic was much less. Even talking to the neighbors did not reveal the problem. Their homes were situated such the noise was not an issue. The sellers of the home had passed some years prior so we couldn't ask them. It was just dumb luck I guess. So glad you tried fulltime RV life and have now found what works for you. Thanks for your kind words, and for watching. Appreciate you helping me get closer to 100k!
I have to agree, the RV trip would be fun, but not full time. I have seen 100 videos about RV, and only one showing how you empty the dark waste tank. And that's about as many times as I would ever want to deal with that per year. I do sympathize with their home buying mistake. I made a commitment to a job once, during summer. Same as she said, the world is a different place in most states in the summer. Traffic was nothing, and then it was 2 hours longer to get to work in the Fall. Don't buy anything or make huge life choices during summer, unless you live in permanent summer like SoCal, or Arizona or Florida. Also, when you buy homes, people flee like flies, because it is not about them. You almost need a realtor and then a paid advisor who is not on a commission to get it right..
Liz, I am with you on this. I started full-time in a Forest River rPod 180 4 years ago and decided I too was ruined for house living. I have since upgraded to a 33-foot Fleetwood Southwind and drove it for the first time today. The feeling of freedom is indescribable with any words I know. I love RV life so much!
@@WyattChristman I miss the Rpod in many ways. It towed and backed so easily, and I could leave it behind when I needed to. However, my 2 dogs and I are really enjoying all th spacious luxury of the new rig now!
We have been RVing for 40 years and absolutely love it. We have traveled for months at a time all over this beautiful country, and we have always owned a home. Ten years ago we purchased our current home (with cash made from owning and selling our other homes over 30 years). It is on 10 acres in the Sierra Foothills with a detached shop and RV garage. For us having a beautiful home to come back to is very important. Being retired we still have the freedom and resources to travel in our RV whenever we want, owning homes has helped make that possible. We do not have to worry about where the money is coming from. Owing Real Estate is more than simply a home base it is an investment in future financial security. Paying rent will never gain you anything other than a temporary place to stay, all that rent money is gone. I hear what Liz is saying here and agree with many of her points. But for us we also want a home where we can have family and friends over and make memories also. For my wife and I we find that having a "sticks & bricks" home and an RV work great. We are all very fortunate to be able to make these kind of decisions, freedom is truly priceless!
Hitting my 7 year anniversary of full time RVing. I can't believe it's been that long. I could never go back to a sticks and bricks lifestyle. I don't like staying in one place too long. Our homes have wheels for a reason. I started work camping last year. I got to spend 3 months in Santa Barbara CA and next month I am going to a work camping job in the Park city Utah area for the summer. Can't wait. The people you meet too.
Wow, that sounds like so much fun. I love Rancho Oso in SB, such a pretty place. I was going to stay there the month of March but then the rains came. Park City is awesome, too. You're picking some good ones! Thanks for watching Paul and congrats on 7 years!
The sunrise and sunset bought back memories. I lived on Key West for a few years and had two jobs. One early in the morning at a hotel and watched the sunrise over the water and the other at a gas station and watched the sunset over the water. It was awesome. If it was not for family we would move from part time to full time dog showing everywhere it’s 72 degrees outside. Not sure we could give up our house or stuff.
I love all your reasons! It’s so true! No grass to cut No weeds to pull No snow to shovel No leaves to rake Bored with my view-move on Noisy neighbor-move on I have always loved traveling. It’s all about adventures and experiences not the stuff. I am gearing up for getting an RV and can’t decide on which one yet. I trust the right one will show up when I am truly ready.
I really loved your perspective on RV life bringing us to a more open state of mind. I was never able to put this into words but I agree - widening my lens on whom I interact with has been one of the most rewarding things about RVing.
Good point about taking things for granted after being in the same place for a while. Also about meeting a variety of good people who become friends for life.
Hi Liz… I can totally see why having your home on wheels is and awesome way to live. Your choices of where to stay are endless and you can get away from all the clutter of excess stuff and the traffic noise of being stationary. Thanks for your awesome video’s,I really enjoy them. Lisa,( The Wingman’s wife) 🙂
RV life is bliss. I'm so happy that so many people around the world are living the dream. Really enjoyed "The gift of RV life" section of the video. Very good writing. It's just so wise.
You are so Wise Liz, more like Zen! You are totally right, the less we have the more free we are! I was in the medical field since 1980 and was going to retire just before the pandemic! Then could not leave for 2 years as I felt I needed to help the most I could! Leaving this crazy life in 2022 and just having a sailboat and an RV - gave me back freedom! As you say- the morning sunrises, the sunsets… you have been an inspiration for RV life and I learn all the time watching your segments! Fridays are my Liz University learning moments! Instead of having roots just around the house, I now have roots extending everywhere! Thank you and may you reach >100K soon!
Hi Liz, that was a beautiful brick home you had and you had that place decorated so nice. Wow. I get the traffic and noise factor absolutely. Would be a deal breaker for me too. Great video today. You made good points for sure. 👍👍Take care. Rusty
Thanks Rusty! Yes, I loved that home and had so much fun decorating it. Funny, I don't miss it since my backyard is always changing!!! Thanks for watching and your kind words, hugs to you!
I could never live the RV life but I enjoy camping when we go. I could easily give up my house though and live as a minimalist. Your comments about people are so true. The powers that be want to divide us in everything and campers seem to have chucked the entire system. Good for them! Live free and how you want to live.
I retired 6 years ago and four years ago my wife and I bought a truck and a 23 foot travel trailer. Our plan has always been to be out of Texas for the super hot months of June, July, and August. And that's exactly what we have been doing. So for us three or four months away is just right. We have 7 grandchildren so we want to be back home to spend time with all of them and their activities during the school year and cooler months. We love RV'ing but after three or four months it nice to be able to stretch out again in our house.
@@gaylestasa3233 My son and daughter live near by. They mow and water the house plants. Plus I have security cameras inside and outside of our house which they monitor as well with myself. And I have my next door neighbors to keep an eye out for anything that may be going on. I turn up the temp to about 85 in the house and save a ton of money on air conditioning during the time that I am gone. Just another plus.
@@LizAmazingI have to tell you I love your videos. You are truly amazing considering all the work it takes to full time RV and that you do it all alone.
Wow, I could identify with each point you made. I keep feeling like I need to get a small house for my exit plan, but can’t find anything. I have a small class b van so not as comfy as yours so not full time now 😊 Would love to hear your ideas on exit plans.
Yes! I have a video planned about that, still fine tuning what I'll share but I expect to release it in April sometime. Stay tuned! And thanks for watching, Joan!
I used to live and work on an island in the Caribbean. I asked a friend, how he didn't kept accustomed to the beauty surrounding us. The answer: make a point, every single day, to stop and take it all in. I did that and what a difference it made. It's too easy to take scenery for granted.
You are right up my alley with your attitude and your goals. It’s a huge world out there and we need to experience a lot of it. Glad you’re getting some time in AZ. We were there the month of January and cannot wait to go back of course next winter.!Thomyt
My husband and I are in the planning/preparing stages for transitioning to RV life. Hubby has 5 years left before retirement and we want to hit the ground rolling! Looking forward to learning as much as possible! Thanks for your videos!
Love the message of appreciating the diversity of environments and human interactions. Would be interesting to see a video on your exit plan which doesn't include a home.
I agree with you. Two years ago I got rid of EVERYTHING and took off with my Royal Enfield motorcycle and tent and have never been so happy and free. I moved with the weather. I go Up north when the temperature goes Up. This winter I spent in Rocket Ranch campground in Boca Chica TX watching SpaceX. I love this freedom. Heading up the Natchez Trace in a few weeks, and then...?
Liz, I've been watching your channel for a long while, but I just feel in love with it now. I absolutely want to sell my house and live the full time RV lifestyle. I know it isn't all glamorous but neither is owning a house.
You're right about that. People say when something breaks on the RV "it's always something" but the same thing can be said for a house. I do love all the TIME FREEDOM I have now. No longer spending hours and hours each week cleaning, mulching, yard work, housework. Thanks for watching and see you in my brand new video right here: ua-cam.com/video/iAh6NHgM9pY/v-deo.html
Thank you. I totally agree. My preferred camping is boondocking, and yes I have been at La Posa south. At present I am kinda sorta camped in a backyard in Bama because of family issues and I will be out "following the weather" ASAP.
@@LizAmazing I have been out to the desert southwest twice. I paid the $180.00 for the season. Hopefully I can make it again, I want to come out and stay. Bama is not a good fit for me.
Liz what you’re describing is the ability of our brains Neuroplasticity. If we do the same thing, see same people, see same scenery, etc, then we lose that brain growth. We become more rigid in our ways and less likely to accept change. Your experience is a remapping of the brains circuitry for the better👍
Thanks for your amazing message. I've been car dwelling for 7 years. I don't think I could ever go back to an apartment or house again. My next move is into a Class B Travato. Thanks for your great content.
Wonderful video. I traveled in my van for a couple of years and agree with you completely. Now I’ve bought a house and I’m reconsidering that decision. Thanks for the perspective.
Very nice video Liz. Presenting the human side of RVing is always appreciated and yes -we are constantly being taunted into turning on each other. It’s wrong and I hope more ppl will come to see it. Be safe out there!💗
I really like the American (Anglo-Saxon) women as they are practical, untangled and speak well. I also have a motorhome here in Europe and I feel the same way. The advantage in Europe is that you are traveling through history and in the USA you visit large and beautiful desert places like Arizona; Sedona is a must see, and many protected natural parks. But in Europe the experiences are much more daring and out of the ordinary.
Music to my ears Liz. It’s exactly what I want to do despite being somewhat ill. If anything will keep me going it’s traveling and meeting people without the stress of constant hospital appointments which genuinely achieve nothing but depression. I’m fed up with being told what I can’t do anymore because I’m ill and so I’m challenging the medics around me and going forward with my dreams. I have complete medical insurance anywhere in the world so I’m free to roam around the country choosing the climate that best suits me and my dog. She’s a service/care dog and it’s like having a best friend alongside me. The countdown has begun 🥰🕊️🦋💫
I love your spirit! I am so glad you are going for your dreams, Lorrie! I look forward to meeting you out here. Thanks for watching and see you in the next video
My wife are 18 months away from retirement and plan to move into our RV full time as well. We currently have our motorhome at a seasonal park and every time we go up there, it just feels so relaxing and we are so at ease. It was great during Covid as we had an escape from the house and is becoming more like home all the time. One thing we both really like is how friendly everyone at the park is, how giving people are and the interesting lives people have lived. Many people are full-timers who stay in the park for 6 months to be near family and then spend the remaining 6 months of the year travelling the continent.
GOD Bless you Liz…..I’m 66 years old, I would love to RV full time, unfortunately I don’t think I will, age, family, and the concern of getting too old to take care of dumping and filling the water tank. 😔 Unless I hit the lottery, I’m here till the end. Safe travels! 🤗🙏
We have never been full-time rvers, but we have enjoyed exploring since purchasing our first pop-up tent trailer when our boys were 4 and 8 years old back in 1988. Our best family memories are from our RV adventures. We're in our seventies and still enjoy hitting the road, and we're about to downsize from a 34' motorhome to a smaller 25" motorhome that will be easier to handle while still providing us a home on wheels. Aside from exploring new areas and sites, you are so correct about the sense of community amongst RVers and that you meet so many interesting people. For the most part, most RVers don't care what kind of rig you have or your financial status and just enjoy sharing experiences and conversations about the RV lifestyle. Many of our friends in our housing community can't understand why we continue to travel with a RV, but they are often very interested what we have to say about it. Our goal is to continue to explore as long as we can and there is just so much more of this country we would like to see. Thanks for sharing you thoughts and experiences!
That's awesome! I am so glad you are continuing with the traveling life, even on a part time or sometime basis. Looking forward to meeting you in a campground, Stephen! Thanks for watching.
Tip about how to avoid the disaster Liz experienced with her dream house-turned nightmare: Visit the neighborhood during the day during the workweek, and also on the weekend. During the weekend trip, take the time to knock on the doors of neighbors of where you could live to ask them their opinion of the neighborhood, e.g. traffic, type of neighborhood, etc. Doing so when I house hunting some years ago kept me from buying a place downwind from a huge pig farm, and if you know how awful the smell can be, you know why I chose to bail on that too-good-to-be-truth home offering.
That's a bullet you dodged for sure. We actually did talk to neighbors but our lot was so very noisy while next door neighbors were not. And we bought in the summer when school was out and traffic much quieter. Just bad luck I guess. Thanks for watching.
That all works in a normal world but our world has been far from normal in the last 3 years now..In our local real estate market here in AR if you find a house that you like for sale, you don't have the time to do all the research on the neighbors ect. Most houses sell within the first 24 hrs so that doesn't leave time for any of that. Basically, if you can find a house that you like, you better snatch it up before someone else does! Sooo many people are fleeing the big cities in search of a more calmer and slower (quality) way of life these days. We have a motorhome that we use but absolutely can't wait till the day we can sell off and hit the road full time too! There is soooo much to see out there in Merica!!! Some people love full time travel others don't. We love it!!! We totally relate Liz!! Rock on girl!!!! 💪
Liz you are Amazing, love your attitude and travel adventures, I have an idea for you? Liz Amazing Calendar's? Think about it you are very trustworthy and Beautiful, you can put on that calendar your favorite RV Parks and adventures on that Calendar and of course your RV, it's a thought, thanks for the videos, you guys stay safe out there!
Hi me again thanks for this one….I was telling my son a couple of months ago….I don’t see myself buying another home rather I’m going to upgrade my Rv …bigger diesel pusher….and travel even more…😀
Excellent video Liz. Totally agree with meeting people from all walks of life at the campgrounds and everyone is caring and looking out for each other. Doubt I'll give up my homebase house until we/I can't take care of it. It's paid off and with kids and grandkids, adds to the memories we make here. They do join us when we're on the road and we're thrilled about those experiences too!!
Many love RVing till ... they don't. You're still young and healthy but as you get older, things change and NOT for the better. It is always good to have a place of your own (house/apartment/home base) to come back to, ALWAYS. It is always nice to see your kids especially grandkids and NOT just few times a year (we see them daily). Trips .... do you really need a $100k+ RV to take trips, how about a van, you can either camp or stay in a small motel, and after few months or so of traveling, you can always come back to your home base. Good for you that you love what you're doing, for us, we love traveling and sightseeing as well but to a point, after few months we cannot wait to get back. Good luck to you in your travels.
Yes, there are so many ways to do this life. Some don't like being tethered to a house and like the freedom from maintenance and property taxes. Others rent their house out while they travel. To each his own. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Liz can you make a video of how you pack up and do your tow vehicle both leaving a site and arrival? I’m about to tackle this alone myself and need inspiration from another woman .
yes. I could fulltime RV year round and never leave AZ and never run out of places to visit. Lucky you to live here! And thanks for watching and bringing me closer to 100k!
I'm currently traveling solo in my class C and am looking at the Massanutten mountain range from the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel. I used to own a house nearby with this view, back when my now 26 year old daughter was a baby. Brings back so many happy memories. I'm not full-time yet, but this is a practice run. I just love being in my RV by myself!
Wow, that's so awesome. Yep, nothing can describe the freedom of having your house on wheels, even if it is not fulltime. Thanks for watching Susan and happy travels.
We already did! Last May 1st we moved into our motorhome and haven't looked back. We are coming up on one year and have no regrets at all. We have decided, at least for the foreseen future to stay in Nevada and see the state we were born in and have lived in for all our lives and yet, haven't scratched the surface of what it holds. Maybe, eventually, we'll check out surrounding state areas, we've talked about Quartzite. But, for now, for the most part, we are learning more about our home state and loving it. We do talk about having a homebase, a place to park to make modifications and necessary repairs when we want to and for mail and to recharge occasionally, but otherwise I don't see us living in a sticks n bricks again.
Oh that's awesome! There is just so much to see, you'll never see it all. Glad to hear you are doing some exploring instead of rushing and trying to see everything. Thanks for your comment!
My wife and I are full timers in a 36' class A. While in South Lake Tahoe my brother-in-law and family who have management positions set us up for 5 days in a beautiful hotel on the top floor. Loved it but we were so happy to get back to our tiny home.
I can so relate, Brad! Staying in a hotel is no longer a treat when you're an RVer. That 36' Class A sounds awesome. I am in a 38 footer and am glad to have found something under 40. Happy travels to you!
@@LizAmazing PS. I'm the one who has been married for 40 years and related to your relationship with Paul. We are finally out west in South Lake Tahoe. Saw family here an Sedona but have to loop back to CT for birth of our granddaughter beginning of June. Hope our paths can cross sometime in future.
Subscribed for your goal. I'll share a story for you in case you are reading these comments Liz. wink. My older sister is 63 ... her and her husband are 20+ year Military Vet's... for many years they RV'd and camped, and hauled their Jeep or 4 wheeler. We would Camp at this great place in Virginia, I'd meet them there. About 2 years ago, when her husband finally retired (he's younger)... they took the RV across the USA....for a month....stopping at their brother's in Utah...down into New Mexico....etc. When the housing market hit some peak numbers ....they sold their home in Maryland, moved to "The Villages" (over 55, in Florida- yes THE bubble), parked the RV in storage, sold the 4 wheeler (sold the boat). They had a mutual friend from the Military network with them to score a great home at The Villages...they joined clubs, swimming, golfing, RC (radio controlled) boating club....on and on ....clubs for everything, AND, party's at the square all the time... Discussing this subject with another person who tends to need more "alone" time (like me) ...seems ...we get re-charged by Nature and solitude....our conclusion is....some people re-charge from socializing and being with others more. Maybe they will get the RV out of storage someday...it's only been 1 year... from: Mike ( at 62 years young, still riding a regular bike... yet, those e-bikes are cool for sure)
Hi Mike! Thanks for your comment. Yes, I do read every one! I get 1000 a week so it can take a while! Sounds like nature is calling YOU and I hope you get some solitude time, and some good riding in! See you in my brand new video right here: ua-cam.com/video/YDqWoQHikg0/v-deo.html
I could see having a barndominium to park an RV - sort of a 'base camp'. Then go RVing around the area. Just have a minimal 'house' in the barndo and a place for my RV and stuff.
Living in a rv you can always choose your backyard and more more important the climate. Im in Minnesota and the winter will just not end! April 1st and 6 inches of snow!
Thanks for addressing this. I just watched these two videos out of order. This is about as close as you can get to discussing race on your channel as you can go. So glad that you're doing the things!
As for giving up my home and spending years on the road never. Heard stories from people that tried and was sorry they did. Some because they did not have funds to buy a home again.
Yes. You have to be very intentional about how you do this life. I will be talking more about that in upcoming videos. Stay tuned. Thanks for being here, Frank!
I am so glad I came across your channel. Im 46, my kids have been grown and gone for years and I am alone in a 1600 square-foot house in Florida. The laws in the environment or not suiting me my friends have all moved on. I’m ready to pack my dog up and start. I just got a tattoo that says “Do it scared.” because I keep waiting for everything. I have a remote job. If I have good Internet, I have no excuses.
The closest I have ever come, is being a long distance truck driver. And, that isn't close at all. In 31 years, I've been to (or in 2 cases) through all 48 states. But, mostly, I see it through the windshield. If I could come up with the money to acquire an rv, I'd never be able to convince my wife to full time. And I wouldn't do it without my soulmate.
Giving up my childhood home of 66 years. I traveled for work for 30+ years, 7 yrs of it was in a 5th wheel. My now EX hated it....I LOVED IT & MISS IT. This is a very hard thing to do. I keep saying what if something happens n all I do is beat myself up by saying I wanta go home??? That's why my packing is slow. With all the storms n tornados we're having around Gulf Coast n worse than ever...it's getting a little easier, sorta. I just need to bounce around with a group for awhile then I should be good, I hope. OLD AGE SUXS!!!!
This video is VERY deep on so many levels! I learned a great deal from watching it and truly believe it opened my eyes to so many different things.Thank you so much for posting!
That was a beautiful house & yard! Too bad about the noise, we’re 3 houses from a main drag that’s used as a shortcut but the traffic isn’t relentless. Thankfully! We reduced the noise with new windows, but are still hitting the road full time in a year for a few years. Our son & his family are going to be living in it until we get back so not giving it up but it won’t be accessible for a few years as we promised them 4years. I agree with the meeting of a variety of people, that’s what is so great about traveling, along with the sights.
Hi Elizabeth, thank you about my house. It was lovely and I'm glad I had my time in it. Sounds like you have a good plan with your home. Looking forward to seeing you out here!
The ability to change your surroundings at whim is very tempting indeed. Also the opportunity to meet different people outside the bubble. You make a very persuasive presentation 😊.
Thank you Liz for your discount on the RV Trip Wizard! I just signed up. Also I totally agree with you about not wanting a stick and brick again! Next purchase will be 1000 Trails
I resonate greatly with your message as my wife and I almost bought a house this year and decided it was not smart. Instead we bought a 23’ travel trailer and are going full time spending half year in Midwest half in southwest
Always wonderful to watch one of your videos. Great post Liz! Sure, I am not full-time RV yet, but I am happy to say very minimalistic. All the clothes and items I care about fit into my RV. Sure there are some extra items in the house - a couch, TV, a bed and some tables and kitchen items but they are only things that can be gone in a moment. Would I give up the house completely?… Maybe, and many days I think - yes! At the moment it does serve as a reliable spot to do larger repairs, collect mail, designate an address for government things, and a ‘go-to’ if things on the road get really problematic. Also, if for some reason my kids needed a place of refuge, it is always there for them. Love your post Liz, you are AMAZING!! - Maarten.
We bought 5 acres with our daughter and she built her forever home and enjoying her grandkids and we built a RV garage on the property too with enough room to put in a guest quarters inside for our later years….. we are gone 6 to 8 mths out of the year and the kids are here to watch things while we are gone! We love our 5th wheel and don’t want a house anymore…. done with that! Happy to have a home base where are family is and we can enjoy them while visiting our home base! Good video and on point! I’m still amazed you drive that big MH and do all the setting up yourself… good for you! 👍
What an awesome setup, Marlene! I met a couple who did something similar: they sold their house to one of their children and now park their camper in the backyard. They watch the grandkids during the day and have kitchen and laundry privileges. Win-win. Thanks for watching and for commenting in the first hour, really helps the channel! Have a good weekend!
One more thing…. the video you did on ebikes…. someone in your feed mentioned that Progressive doesn’t cover ebikes and my agent told me that they did when we signed up with Progressive in 2019! Well, I fired off an email to our insurance agent to have her double check if Progressive is still covering our ebikes….. NOPE, as of 2022 they will no longer cover them so I need to get a separate policy for those 2 expensive ebikes! So thank you for your video and the person who replied on your feed! Your videos help so many folks out there! My agent was very surprised about the changes! I love that RV’rs help each other! Keep up the good work!👍
Happy for you and all who break the chains placed on us by society. I bought a house for my mom and I've been debating on buying one for myself but I don't want to I want an RV so I can enjoy this beautiful country so many never get the chance to see. Thank you for sharing
I like what you said about meeting different people in live, yet we really are much more alike than we think. We all want good things for our family, good health, etc. And yes, media wants us to believe otherwise. Despite what we see on the news, there are more good people than bad!
I could do without a house. But I would still like to have a small cabin on some land to go back to once in awhile to gather with family or local friends.
Yes! Love the RV life , I own toy hauler trailer and take my motorcycle with me.. just return from Florida and meet some great people, retiring in few years planning to go full time.. great video
The key to humanity is making friends with every type of person out there. Every race, every gender, every religion and every belief. Only then can you begin to understand the bigger picture and have empathy and compassion for all.
So true, we may not get to live our retirement dream. Full time RVing was ours. After losing my fiancé in June, I bought a minivan and doing some urban camping and adventuring on my days off. Because tomorrow isn’t promised!
Tomorrow is definitely not promised, so sorry about losing your partner. Looking forward to meeting you on one of your adventures. Thanks for watching, Lisa!

I’m going to do it ASAP! I’ll be 50 in two years when my youngest graduates and I can sell my house. I love my friends and my job but I can’t afford this house by myself much longer. I’m scraping by to give my kids the stability they need. But as soon as they can be on their own (or with their dad if needed) I am out! I want to see and do ALL the things before I’m too old to enjoy it all. I told my son I’d love to be a cashier at a gift shop in Yellowstone- he looked at me like I was crazy- but honestly, that’s what I want to do!
Yes! Do it! I started at 55, loving it!!! Keep me posted, Karilee!
I spent one summer at old faithful gift shop. It was a blast, I recommend it to everyone and if you have an rv there are spots instead of dorm living
@@georgetudhope awesome! I will have an RV soon. I have a little goal to work at gift shops all over the USA in the National Parks!
@Karilee Taylor The people who work seasonal jobs at national parks are called national park bums from the tradition of nicknames at Yellowstone such as pearl divers are dishwashers
@@KarileeTYou're gonna love it ,make sure you consult Liz before you buy an rv or a van ,there's alot of undesirable folk just waiting to rip someone off ,you'll need the correct advice to steer clear of the shark's 🤟🤠💯🙏 GOOD LUCK 👍
Liz, you never glamorize RV Living, you say your truth.
Thanks Steve, so glad to have you here!
I gave up my house and all of the stuff in it soon to be six years ago for the RV lifestyle. I know I could never live in a house again, just the thought of not being able to move about this awesome country meeting new people and seeing amazing things makes me crazy. You said it perfectly Liz!!!!! ❤
Thank you so much!! Congrats on six years of RV living! Hope to see you on the road.
Six years FT FR me too. Cheers!
Liz, let me first say that we love your channel! RV full time living is not for everyone, though. We dabbled in it for a while, but it wasn’t for us. My wife and I are similar in that we like to have a permanent place to call home . I have to believe that some due diligence research on your part would have avoided the awful location your home was located in. For our part, my wife and I have found that having a “sticks and bricks” home is much more secure than living full time in an RV. In fact, trips in our RV are more special to us BECAUSE they aren’t day to day living - they are trips to “get away” and see something new. Different strokes for different folks I guess!
Hi Alfred! Unfortunately we bought that house in the summer when traffic was much less. Even talking to the neighbors did not reveal the problem. Their homes were situated such the noise was not an issue. The sellers of the home had passed some years prior so we couldn't ask them. It was just dumb luck I guess. So glad you tried fulltime RV life and have now found what works for you. Thanks for your kind words, and for watching. Appreciate you helping me get closer to 100k!
Very well put. 😊
@@LizAmazing I guess there wasn’t much more that you could have done to avoid that location! Be safe.
We love our RV life too!
I have to agree, the RV trip would be fun, but not full time. I have seen 100 videos about RV, and only one showing how you empty the dark waste tank. And that's about as many times as I would ever want to deal with that per year. I do sympathize with their home buying mistake. I made a commitment to a job once, during summer. Same as she said, the world is a different place in most states in the summer. Traffic was nothing, and then it was 2 hours longer to get to work in the Fall. Don't buy anything or make huge life choices during summer, unless you live in permanent summer like SoCal, or Arizona or Florida. Also, when you buy homes, people flee like flies, because it is not about them. You almost need a realtor and then a paid advisor who is not on a commission to get it right..
Liz, I am with you on this. I started full-time in a Forest River rPod 180 4 years ago and decided I too was ruined for house living. I have since upgraded to a 33-foot Fleetwood Southwind and drove it for the first time today. The feeling of freedom is indescribable with any words I know. I love RV life so much!
Wow, that's awesome. Congratulations, what a great size! The freedom...when you know, you know. See you out here!
Hey I am starting in an Rpod 180 also!! Hope you are still having fond memories of your smaller camper. 🙂
@@WyattChristman I miss the Rpod in many ways. It towed and backed so easily, and I could leave it behind when I needed to. However, my 2 dogs and I are really enjoying all th spacious luxury of the new rig now!
@@rpodadventure Always nice to have the space, you could go back to a TT just a bigger one! 🙂
We have been RVing for 40 years and absolutely love it. We have traveled for months at a time all over this beautiful country, and we have always owned a home.
Ten years ago we purchased our current home (with cash made from owning and selling our other homes over 30 years). It is on 10 acres in the Sierra Foothills with a detached shop and RV garage. For us having a beautiful home to come back to is very important. Being retired we still have the freedom and resources to travel in our RV whenever we want, owning homes has helped make that possible. We do not have to worry about where the money is coming from.
Owing Real Estate is more than simply a home base it is an investment in future financial security. Paying rent will never gain you anything other than a temporary place to stay, all that rent money is gone.
I hear what Liz is saying here and agree with many of her points. But for us we also want a home where we can have family and friends over and make memories also.
For my wife and I we find that having a "sticks & bricks" home and an RV work great. We are all very fortunate to be able to make these kind of decisions, freedom is truly priceless!
Wow, it sounds like you've found the perfect setup for you. Thanks for sharing this, Jim! And see you in the next video.
What an uplifting video - thank you! I agree, the media wants to pit us against each other and it's just not true. The RV community is so welcoming.
It sure is. I am so glad to be a part of it. Thanks for watching and see you in the next video.
Hitting my 7 year anniversary of full time RVing. I can't believe it's been that long. I could never go back to a sticks and bricks lifestyle. I don't like staying in one place too long. Our homes have wheels for a reason. I started work camping last year. I got to spend 3 months in Santa Barbara CA and next month I am going to a work camping job in the Park city Utah area for the summer. Can't wait. The people you meet too.
Wow, that sounds like so much fun. I love Rancho Oso in SB, such a pretty place. I was going to stay there the month of March but then the rains came. Park City is awesome, too. You're picking some good ones! Thanks for watching Paul and congrats on 7 years!
Absolutely wonderful advise. I am in the infant stage of transitioning into full time RV. Thank you for the wisdom. 🙂
You are so welcome, John! Thanks for moving me closer to 100k!
The sunrise and sunset bought back memories. I lived on Key West for a few years and had two jobs. One early in the morning at a hotel and watched the sunrise over the water and the other at a gas station and watched the sunset over the water. It was awesome.
If it was not for family we would move from part time to full time dog showing everywhere it’s 72 degrees outside. Not sure we could give up our house or stuff.
Yep, it's not for everyone. Cheers to you for enjoying sunrises and sunsets!
I love all your reasons! It’s so true!
No grass to cut
No weeds to pull
No snow to shovel
No leaves to rake
Bored with my view-move on
Noisy neighbor-move on
I have always loved traveling. It’s all about adventures and experiences not the stuff. I am gearing up for getting an RV and can’t decide on which one yet. I trust the right one will show up when I am truly ready.
That's so great, I love your attitude. Looking forward to seeing you out here!
Hi Liz...I don't want to live the RV life, but I must say you make great videos which I enjoy every week! Have a great weekend!
Awesome. You are not the only one who's just here for the entertainment, that's fine by me! Enjoy your weekend as well, RC!
I really loved your perspective on RV life bringing us to a more open state of mind. I was never able to put this into words but I agree - widening my lens on whom I interact with has been one of the most rewarding things about RVing.
It sure is. I need to talk about that more often. It's one of the things that make RV life so sweet! Thanks, Craig!
This so true! Thanks for sharing. We have been on the road for almost 4 months and we are in awe of how much we enjoy it.
Awww, so glad to hear this. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good point about taking things for granted after being in the same place for a while. Also about meeting a variety of good people who become friends for life.
thank you, Ellen!
Hi Liz… I can totally see why having your home on wheels is and awesome way to live. Your choices of where to stay are endless and you can get away from all the clutter of excess stuff and the traffic noise of being stationary. Thanks for your awesome video’s,I really enjoy them. Lisa,( The Wingman’s wife) 🙂
Hi Lisa!!! Great to see you here and I love your name, Wingman Wisdom! Say hi to the Wingman for me. And thanks for your kind words.
RV life is bliss. I'm so happy that so many people around the world are living the dream.
Really enjoyed "The gift of RV life" section of the video. Very good writing. It's just so wise.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Andrew! RV life truly is bliss. Thanks for watching. See you in the next video.
Girl!!!! I’m SO with you! My husband and I just started out last fall, but so far loving it! Love your videos!
Yay! Looking forward to meeting you on the road!
A new day and a new outlook, always changing. Cheers to you, Liz.
Thanks so much, Laurie. Happy to have you here for sure!
You are so Wise Liz, more like Zen! You are totally right, the less we have the more free we are! I was in the medical field since 1980 and was going to retire just before the pandemic! Then could not leave for 2 years as I felt I needed to help the most I could! Leaving this crazy life in 2022 and just having a sailboat and an RV - gave me back freedom! As you say- the morning sunrises, the sunsets… you have been an inspiration for RV life and I learn all the time watching your segments! Fridays are my Liz University learning moments! Instead of having roots just around the house, I now have roots extending everywhere! Thank you and may you reach >100K soon!
Awww, what a great comment, thanks Bernard! I do look forward to your words each week.
Hi Liz, that was a beautiful brick home you had and you had that place decorated so nice. Wow. I get the traffic and noise factor absolutely. Would be a deal breaker for me too. Great video today. You made good points for sure. 👍👍Take care. Rusty
Thanks Rusty! Yes, I loved that home and had so much fun decorating it. Funny, I don't miss it since my backyard is always changing!!! Thanks for watching and your kind words, hugs to you!
I could never live the RV life but I enjoy camping when we go. I could easily give up my house though and live as a minimalist. Your comments about people are so true. The powers that be want to divide us in everything and campers seem to have chucked the entire system. Good for them! Live free and how you want to live.
Yes, indeed! Thanks for watching and for your comment. Live free and how you want to live should be everyone's motto!
I retired 6 years ago and four years ago my wife and I bought a truck and a 23 foot travel trailer. Our plan has always been to be out of Texas for the super hot months of June, July, and August. And that's exactly what we have been doing. So for us three or four months away is just right. We have 7 grandchildren so we want to be back home to spend time with all of them and their activities during the school year and cooler months. We love RV'ing but after three or four months it nice to be able to stretch out again in our house.
Sounds like you have found the perfect plan for you. Happy travels and see you on the road. Thanks for watching.
How do you leave your home for 4 months who checks on it for ?
@@gaylestasa3233 My son and daughter live near by. They mow and water the house plants. Plus I have security cameras inside and outside of our house which they monitor as well with myself. And I have my next door neighbors to keep an eye out for anything that may be going on.
I turn up the temp to about 85 in the house and save a ton of money on air conditioning during the time that I am gone. Just another plus.
@@LizAmazingI have to tell you I love your videos. You are truly amazing considering all the work it takes to full time RV and that you do it all alone.
Wow, I could identify with each point you made. I keep feeling like I need to get a small house for my exit plan, but can’t find anything. I have a small class b van so not as comfy as yours so not full time now 😊 Would love to hear your ideas on exit plans.
Yes! I have a video planned about that, still fine tuning what I'll share but I expect to release it in April sometime. Stay tuned! And thanks for watching, Joan!
I used to live and work on an island in the Caribbean. I asked a friend, how he didn't kept accustomed to the beauty surrounding us. The answer: make a point, every single day, to stop and take it all in. I did that and what a difference it made. It's too easy to take scenery for granted.
Indeed, it sure does make a difference. Thanks for sharing this, Stephen!
You are right up my alley with your attitude and your goals. It’s a huge world out there and we need to experience a lot of it. Glad you’re getting some time in AZ. We were there the month of January and cannot wait to go back of course next winter.!Thomyt
Hi Thom! I think will do a video about Quartzsite, so much to share! Glad you've been here. Have a great weekend and thanks for watching!
My husband and I are in the planning/preparing stages for transitioning to RV life. Hubby has 5 years left before retirement and we want to hit the ground rolling! Looking forward to learning as much as possible! Thanks for your videos!
Love the message of appreciating the diversity of environments and human interactions. Would be interesting to see a video on your exit plan which doesn't include a home.
yes indeed. Stay tuned as I have a video planned all about that. Thanks for being here!
I agree with you. Two years ago I got rid of EVERYTHING and took off with my Royal Enfield motorcycle and tent and have never been so happy and free. I moved with the weather. I go Up north when the temperature goes Up. This winter I spent in Rocket Ranch campground in Boca Chica TX watching SpaceX. I love this freedom. Heading up the Natchez Trace in a few weeks, and then...?
Happy and free! I am with you right there!!! Enjoy and thanks for your comment!
Liz, I've been watching your channel for a long while, but I just feel in love with it now. I absolutely want to sell my house and live the full time RV lifestyle. I know it isn't all glamorous but neither is owning a house.
You're right about that. People say when something breaks on the RV "it's always something" but the same thing can be said for a house. I do love all the TIME FREEDOM I have now. No longer spending hours and hours each week cleaning, mulching, yard work, housework. Thanks for watching and see you in my brand new video right here: ua-cam.com/video/iAh6NHgM9pY/v-deo.html
Thank you. I totally agree. My preferred camping is boondocking, and yes I have been at La Posa south. At present I am kinda sorta camped in a backyard in Bama because of family issues and I will be out "following the weather" ASAP.
Oh, so glad you know La Posa, what a great deal that is! Thanks for watching and see you on the road, Bill.
@@LizAmazing I have been out to the desert southwest twice. I paid the $180.00 for the season. Hopefully I can make it again, I want to come out and stay. Bama is not a good fit for me.
Liz what you’re describing is the ability of our brains Neuroplasticity. If we do the same thing, see same people, see same scenery, etc, then we lose that brain growth. We become more rigid in our ways and less likely to accept change. Your experience is a remapping of the brains circuitry for the better👍
Oh! Good to know. Thanks for posting this, and for watching.
I'm trying so hard to live that life. I also have been wanting to do for like 20 years. This year I pray it comes true. See you on the road.❤
Yes!! I hope to see you out here, Mary, thanks for watching!
I sold my house in AK almost a year ago and have been following my 20 year dream of RV life ever since. Thanks for keeping things real.
Yay! So glad you are following your dreams! See you on the road, and thanks for watching.
Thanks for your amazing message.
I've been car dwelling for 7 years. I don't think I could ever go back to an apartment or house again.
My next move is into a Class B Travato.
Thanks for your great content.
Wow, congrats on your Travato. What an adventure you've been on for 7 years! Looking forward to meeting you out here and thanks for watching.
Wonderful video. I traveled in my van for a couple of years and agree with you completely. Now I’ve bought a house and I’m reconsidering that decision. Thanks for the perspective.
Thank you for watching, Kathleen. Glad that you got out here and did van life. I bet you have lots of great memories. See you in the next video!
No home is perfect nor camp but we try hard. Enjoy your home. The view sure helps! Feeling safe good food n drink and I’m happy.
Thanks so much, Mary! Yep, you gotta always look on the bright side, and be grateful. See you in the next video.
You get it! RV life keeps you from being owned and ruled by your stuff!
Yes, indeed. Well said, Linda. Thanks for watching.
Very nice video Liz. Presenting the human side of RVing is always appreciated and yes -we are constantly being taunted into turning on each other. It’s wrong and I hope more ppl will come to see it. Be safe out there!💗
Glad you get it, too, Beth! Thanks for watching.
I really like the American (Anglo-Saxon) women as they are practical, untangled and speak well. I also have a motorhome here in Europe and I feel the same way. The advantage in Europe is that you are traveling through history and in the USA you visit large and beautiful desert places like Arizona; Sedona is a must see, and many protected natural parks. But in Europe the experiences are much more daring and out of the ordinary.
I definitely would love to tour around Europe. Thanks for watching Haroldo and happy travels!
Great video and so true. We love RVING and can’t wait to sell and do it full time. Sunrises are the best.
They are indeed a great way to start the day! Thanks for watching Todd and looking forward to meeting you on the road.
Music to my ears Liz. It’s exactly what I want to do despite being somewhat ill. If anything will keep me going it’s traveling and meeting people without the stress of constant hospital appointments which genuinely achieve nothing but depression. I’m fed up with being told what I can’t do anymore because I’m ill and so I’m challenging the medics around me and going forward with my dreams. I have complete medical insurance anywhere in the world so I’m free to roam around the country choosing the climate that best suits me and my dog. She’s a service/care dog and it’s like having a best friend alongside me.
The countdown has begun 🥰🕊️🦋💫
I love your spirit! I am so glad you are going for your dreams, Lorrie! I look forward to meeting you out here. Thanks for watching and see you in the next video
@@LizAmazing You bet and now I’m more excited 😊
My wife are 18 months away from retirement and plan to move into our RV full time as well. We currently have our motorhome at a seasonal park and every time we go up there, it just feels so relaxing and we are so at ease. It was great during Covid as we had an escape from the house and is becoming more like home all the time. One thing we both really like is how friendly everyone at the park is, how giving people are and the interesting lives people have lived. Many people are full-timers who stay in the park for 6 months to be near family and then spend the remaining 6 months of the year travelling the continent.
I agree! Campgrounds are some of the friendliest places. So glad you are moving closer to fulltime RV life. See you out here, and thanks for watching!
GOD Bless you Liz…..I’m 66 years old, I would love to RV full time, unfortunately I don’t think I will, age, family, and the concern of getting too old to take care of dumping and filling the water tank. 😔
Unless I hit the lottery, I’m here till the end.
Safe travels! 🤗🙏
Thanks so much for being here, Cindy! You are so welcome to travel with me virtually anytime. And thanks for your kind words!
I so appreciate your comments about diverse people you meet. What a valuable attitude.
Yes, it's truly the essence of life. Thanks for your comment, Jennifer!
I’m happy you are enjoying your life, I just wish there weren’t bad guys out there stealing your bikes. Be safe, Peace and Blessings
Thank you so much, Yvonne. I hope all that is behind me now. See you in the next video.
same here. we all have a different path to freedom. Thank you for sharing yours.
Awesome!!!! Thanks for watching.
Fresh air and nature have improved my life in more ways than I have time to list here.
Yes indeed! Thanks for saying this, Donna!
We have never been full-time rvers, but we have enjoyed exploring since purchasing our first pop-up tent trailer when our boys were 4 and 8 years old back in 1988. Our best family memories are from our RV adventures. We're in our seventies and still enjoy hitting the road, and we're about to downsize from a 34' motorhome to a smaller 25" motorhome that will be easier to handle while still providing us a home on wheels. Aside from exploring new areas and sites, you are so correct about the sense of community amongst RVers and that you meet so many interesting people. For the most part, most RVers don't care what kind of rig you have or your financial status and just enjoy sharing experiences and conversations about the RV lifestyle. Many of our friends in our housing community can't understand why we continue to travel with a RV, but they are often very interested what we have to say about it. Our goal is to continue to explore as long as we can and there is just so much more of this country we would like to see. Thanks for sharing you thoughts and experiences!
That's awesome! I am so glad you are continuing with the traveling life, even on a part time or sometime basis. Looking forward to meeting you in a campground, Stephen! Thanks for watching.
Your attitude is very inspiring and positive. It’s so important to be “plugged in!” Thanks Liz; safe travels!🍀🍀🍀🙋🏻♀️
Thank you so much, Theresa. I look forward to your comment each week. See you in the next one.
Tip about how to avoid the disaster Liz experienced with her dream house-turned nightmare: Visit the neighborhood during the day during the workweek, and also on the weekend. During the weekend trip, take the time to knock on the doors of neighbors of where you could live to ask them their opinion of the neighborhood, e.g. traffic, type of neighborhood, etc. Doing so when I house hunting some years ago kept me from buying a place downwind from a huge pig farm, and if you know how awful the smell can be, you know why I chose to bail on that too-good-to-be-truth home offering.
That's a bullet you dodged for sure. We actually did talk to neighbors but our lot was so very noisy while next door neighbors were not. And we bought in the summer when school was out and traffic much quieter. Just bad luck I guess. Thanks for watching.
@ ChrisGeez: Good advice! 👍
That all works in a normal world but our world has been far from normal in the last 3 years now..In our local real estate market here in AR if you find a house that you like for sale, you don't have the time to do all the research on the neighbors ect. Most houses sell within the first 24 hrs so that doesn't leave time for any of that. Basically, if you can find a house that you like, you better snatch it up before someone else does! Sooo many people are fleeing the big cities in search of a more calmer and slower (quality) way of life these days. We have a motorhome that we use but absolutely can't wait till the day we can sell off and hit the road full time too! There is soooo much to see out there in Merica!!! Some people love full time travel others don't. We love it!!!
We totally relate Liz!! Rock on girl!!!! 💪
Liz you are Amazing, love your attitude and travel adventures, I have an idea for you? Liz Amazing Calendar's? Think about it you are very trustworthy and Beautiful, you can put on that calendar your favorite RV Parks and adventures on that Calendar and of course your RV, it's a thought, thanks for the videos, you guys stay safe out there!
That would be cool. Thank you!!
@@LizAmazing I thought you would like that Liz, be safe out there!
I have two uncluttered homes winter and summer 1600 miles apart.
There's two long travel seasons every year.
Plus no depreciation 😂
Hi me again thanks for this one….I was telling my son a couple of months ago….I don’t see myself buying another home rather I’m going to upgrade my Rv …bigger diesel pusher….and travel even more…😀
There you go, Richard! Thanks for watching and see you out here.
Excellent video Liz. Totally agree with meeting people from all walks of life at the campgrounds and everyone is caring and looking out for each other. Doubt I'll give up my homebase house until we/I can't take care of it. It's paid off and with kids and grandkids, adds to the memories we make here. They do join us when we're on the road and we're thrilled about those experiences too!!
Yes, it's so much fun, Rhonda, when the grandkids come visit and share in the adventures!
Many love RVing till ... they don't. You're still young and healthy but as you get older, things change and NOT for the better. It is always good to have a place of your own (house/apartment/home base) to come back to, ALWAYS. It is always nice to see your kids especially grandkids and NOT just few times a year (we see them daily). Trips .... do you really need a $100k+ RV to take trips, how about a van, you can either camp or stay in a small motel, and after few months or so of traveling, you can always come back to your home base.
Good for you that you love what you're doing, for us, we love traveling and sightseeing as well but to a point, after few months we cannot wait to get back.
Good luck to you in your travels.
Yes, there are so many ways to do this life. Some don't like being tethered to a house and like the freedom from maintenance and property taxes. Others rent their house out while they travel. To each his own. Thanks for watching and for your comment.
Liz can you make a video of how you pack up and do your tow vehicle both leaving a site and arrival? I’m about to tackle this alone myself and need inspiration from another woman .
Great idea. Thanks for this, and happy travels, looking forward to seeing you out here.
Hello from Litchfield Park, Arizona!
Nice to know that you enjoy this beautiful state. Blessed to be here!💕🏜️
yes. I could fulltime RV year round and never leave AZ and never run out of places to visit. Lucky you to live here! And thanks for watching and bringing me closer to 100k!
I'm currently traveling solo in my class C and am looking at the Massanutten mountain range from the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel.
I used to own a house nearby with this view, back when my now 26 year old daughter was a baby. Brings back so many happy memories. I'm not full-time yet, but this is a practice run. I just love being in my RV by myself!
Wow, that's so awesome. Yep, nothing can describe the freedom of having your house on wheels, even if it is not fulltime. Thanks for watching Susan and happy travels.
We already did! Last May 1st we moved into our motorhome and haven't looked back. We are coming up on one year and have no regrets at all. We have decided, at least for the foreseen future to stay in Nevada and see the state we were born in and have lived in for all our lives and yet, haven't scratched the surface of what it holds. Maybe, eventually, we'll check out surrounding state areas, we've talked about Quartzite. But, for now, for the most part, we are learning more about our home state and loving it. We do talk about having a homebase, a place to park to make modifications and necessary repairs when we want to and for mail and to recharge occasionally, but otherwise I don't see us living in a sticks n bricks again.
Oh that's awesome! There is just so much to see, you'll never see it all. Glad to hear you are doing some exploring instead of rushing and trying to see everything. Thanks for your comment!
My wife and I are full timers in a 36' class A. While in South Lake Tahoe my brother-in-law and family who have management positions set us up for 5 days in a beautiful hotel on the top floor. Loved it but we were so happy to get back to our tiny home.
I can so relate, Brad! Staying in a hotel is no longer a treat when you're an RVer. That 36' Class A sounds awesome. I am in a 38 footer and am glad to have found something under 40. Happy travels to you!
@@LizAmazing PS. I'm the one who has been married for 40 years and related to your relationship with Paul. We are finally out west in South Lake Tahoe. Saw family here an Sedona but have to loop back to CT for birth of our granddaughter beginning of June. Hope our paths can cross sometime in future.
Subscribed for your goal.
I'll share a story for you in case you are reading these comments Liz. wink.
My older sister is 63 ... her and her husband are 20+ year Military Vet's... for many years they RV'd and camped, and hauled their Jeep or 4 wheeler. We would Camp at this great place in Virginia, I'd meet them there. About 2 years ago, when her husband finally retired (he's younger)... they took the RV across the USA....for a month....stopping at their brother's in Utah...down into New Mexico....etc.
When the housing market hit some peak numbers ....they sold their home in Maryland,
moved to "The Villages" (over 55, in Florida- yes THE bubble), parked the RV in storage, sold the 4 wheeler (sold the boat).
They had a mutual friend from the Military network with them to score a great home at The Villages...they joined clubs, swimming, golfing, RC (radio controlled) boating club....on and on ....clubs for everything, AND, party's at the square all the time...
Discussing this subject with another person who tends to need more "alone" time (like me) ...seems ...we get re-charged by Nature and solitude....our conclusion is....some people re-charge from socializing and being with others more.
Maybe they will get the RV out of storage someday...it's only been 1 year...
from: Mike ( at 62 years young, still riding a regular bike... yet, those e-bikes are cool for sure)
Hi Mike! Thanks for your comment. Yes, I do read every one! I get 1000 a week so it can take a while! Sounds like nature is calling YOU and I hope you get some solitude time, and some good riding in! See you in my brand new video right here: ua-cam.com/video/YDqWoQHikg0/v-deo.html
100% True words Liz “ Life is Short “ Stay Safe and the Road is your Oyster.
100%. Thanks TJ!
I loved the subject, only wished it were longer, lol. Thank you again for making and sharing your amazing adventure!
Awww, you are so kind, Mark! Glad you enjoyed it!!
I could see having a barndominium to park an RV - sort of a 'base camp'. Then go RVing around the area. Just have a minimal 'house' in the barndo and a place for my RV and stuff.
Yes, people do that. It's pretty cool. Thanks for watching Marty and see you in my brand new video right here: ua-cam.com/video/kJOOF1Keqi0/v-deo.html
Great advice sound perspective. You nailed it, as usual.
Awww, you are so kind! Thanks for being here, Deborah!
Living in a rv you can always choose your backyard and more more important the climate. Im in Minnesota and the winter will just not end! April 1st and 6 inches of snow!
Oh goodness. Yep. Choosing the weather is a big factor, thanks for saying so! See you in the next video, Steve!
Thanks for addressing this. I just watched these two videos out of order. This is about as close as you can get to discussing race on your channel as you can go. So glad that you're doing the things!
Sure am, thanks for watching!!
Your videos are so awesome! Im binge watching them!
RVers and Campers United!! Love that! We need to love everyone! 💜
Yep!!! So glad you liked it! Thanks for watching, Amanda!
As for giving up my home and spending years on the road never. Heard stories from people that tried and was sorry they did. Some because they did not have funds to buy a home again.
Yes. You have to be very intentional about how you do this life. I will be talking more about that in upcoming videos. Stay tuned. Thanks for being here, Frank!
I am so glad I came across your channel. Im 46, my kids have been grown and gone for years and I am alone in a 1600 square-foot house in Florida. The laws in the environment or not suiting me my friends have all moved on. I’m ready to pack my dog up and start. I just got a tattoo that says “Do it scared.” because I keep waiting for everything. I have a remote job. If I have good Internet, I have no excuses.
Yep, see my latest video on RV internet solutions, and thanks for watching. Looking forward to seeing you out here, Katia!
The closest I have ever come, is being a long distance truck driver. And, that isn't close at all. In 31 years, I've been to (or in 2 cases) through all 48 states. But, mostly, I see it through the windshield. If I could come up with the money to acquire an rv, I'd never be able to convince my wife to full time. And I wouldn't do it without my soulmate.
Yep, you both definitely need to be all in to do this life. Glad you've been out seeing the country though, Edward. Thanks for watching.
Best video I’ve watched in a very long time!
Liz you are amazing!
Safe travels!
Orlando, FL🏝😎
Awww, you are so kind! Thank you so much!!
Giving up my childhood home of 66 years. I traveled for work for 30+ years, 7 yrs of it was in a 5th wheel. My now EX hated it....I LOVED IT & MISS IT. This is a very hard thing to do. I keep saying what if something happens n all I do is beat myself up by saying I wanta go home??? That's why my packing is slow. With all the storms n tornados we're having around Gulf Coast n worse than ever...it's getting a little easier, sorta. I just need to bounce around with a group for awhile then I should be good, I hope. OLD AGE SUXS!!!!
Yep. Gotta live it while you can. Hope to see you out here, Mary!
This video is VERY deep on so many levels! I learned a great deal from watching it and truly believe it opened my eyes to so many different things.Thank you so much for posting!
Awww, thanks so much for saying so Randy! See you in the next video.
I am glad that you are having fun and you RV life
I sure am. Thanks for watching and for being here, Santiago.
Thank you for all the info. Blessings to you.
That was a beautiful house & yard! Too bad about the noise, we’re 3 houses from a main drag that’s used as a shortcut but the traffic isn’t relentless. Thankfully! We reduced the noise with new windows, but are still hitting the road full time in a year for a few years. Our son & his family are going to be living in it until we get back so not giving it up but it won’t be accessible for a few years as we promised them 4years.
I agree with the meeting of a variety of people, that’s what is so great about traveling, along with the sights.
Hi Elizabeth, thank you about my house. It was lovely and I'm glad I had my time in it. Sounds like you have a good plan with your home. Looking forward to seeing you out here!
Your videos are giving me such great tips for planning our future rv living in retirement. We plan to sell our house and not deal with property!
yay! I'm looking forward to seeing you out here. Thanks for watching.
The ability to change your surroundings at whim is very tempting indeed. Also the opportunity to meet different people outside the bubble. You make a very persuasive presentation 😊.
Thanks Melanie, it really is a good life. Hope to see you out here someday.
Thank you Liz for your discount on the RV Trip Wizard! I just signed up.
Also I totally agree with you about not wanting a stick and brick again!
Next purchase will be 1000 Trails
Awesome, glad to hear this! Enjoy RVTW! And Thousand Trails, tell them I sent ya!
You're getting closer to your goal of 100k and I am getting closer to my goal of full-time RVing. ❤️
Awesome!!! Looking forward to seeing you out here. Happy planning!
I resonate greatly with your message as my wife and I almost bought a house this year and decided it was not smart. Instead we bought a 23’ travel trailer and are going full time spending half year in Midwest half in southwest
Wow, that's exciting! Looking forward to seeing you out here, Austin!
Thumbs up 👍🏻Liz ! I always like to listen too you.
Thanks bunches!!!
Always wonderful to watch one of your videos. Great post Liz! Sure, I am not full-time RV yet, but I am happy to say very minimalistic. All the clothes and items I care about fit into my RV. Sure there are some extra items in the house - a couch, TV, a bed and some tables and kitchen items but they are only things that can be gone in a moment. Would I give up the house completely?… Maybe, and many days I think - yes! At the moment it does serve as a reliable spot to do larger repairs, collect mail, designate an address for government things, and a ‘go-to’ if things on the road get really problematic. Also, if for some reason my kids needed a place of refuge, it is always there for them. Love your post Liz, you are AMAZING!! - Maarten.
Hi Maarten!! So great to hear from you again. I look forward to seeing you out here on the road. Thanks for your positive energy, as always!
I'm a full timer for 5 days every year and a couple weekends.
Whatever works, glad that you get out here when you can. And thanks for watching.
Twilight is the magical hour. ❤
It is indeed!
We bought 5 acres with our daughter and she built her forever home and enjoying her grandkids and we built a RV garage on the property too with enough room to put in a guest quarters inside for our later years….. we are gone 6 to 8 mths out of the year and the kids are here to watch things while we are gone! We love our 5th wheel and don’t want a house anymore…. done with that! Happy to have a home base where are family is and we can enjoy them while visiting our home base! Good video and on point! I’m still amazed you drive that big MH and do all the setting up yourself… good for you! 👍
What an awesome setup, Marlene! I met a couple who did something similar: they sold their house to one of their children and now park their camper in the backyard. They watch the grandkids during the day and have kitchen and laundry privileges. Win-win. Thanks for watching and for commenting in the first hour, really helps the channel! Have a good weekend!
One more thing…. the video you did on ebikes…. someone in your feed mentioned that Progressive doesn’t cover ebikes and my agent told me that they did when we signed up with Progressive in 2019! Well, I fired off an email to our insurance agent to have her double check if Progressive is still covering our ebikes….. NOPE, as of 2022 they will no longer cover them so I need to get a separate policy for those 2 expensive ebikes! So thank you for your video and the person who replied on your feed! Your videos help so many folks out there! My agent was very surprised about the changes! I love that RV’rs help each other! Keep up the good work!👍
You did a great job on your video ! Keep up the good work !!
Robert from Ohio !!
Hi Robert! Thank you very much!
@@LizAmazing 👋
Great video, liz!
Thanks Robin!
Happy for you and all who break the chains placed on us by society. I bought a house for my mom and I've been debating on buying one for myself but I don't want to I want an RV so I can enjoy this beautiful country so many never get the chance to see. Thank you for sharing
Yes, if this life calls you, I hope you go for it. Thanks for watching, Callie!
I like what you said about meeting different people in live, yet we really are much more alike than we think. We all want good things for our family, good health, etc. And yes, media wants us to believe otherwise. Despite what we see on the news, there are more good people than bad!
Yes, I am so glad you get it. There sure are! Thanks for watching, and for your comment!
I could do without a house. But I would still like to have a small cabin on some land to go back to once in awhile to gather with family or local friends.
That might be ideal. It's good to be aware of what's right for you.
Yes! Love the RV life , I own toy hauler trailer and take my motorcycle with me.. just return from Florida and meet some great people, retiring in few years planning to go full time.. great video
Sounds like you are enjoying the life for sure, see you out here, Carl!
Hey neighbor, I’ve been here for about 5 months, first time here and enjoying every day. My time is ending soon. Off to new adventures.
Hi Robin!!! So cool that you are here! You can't beat the price, that's for sure! Happy travels.
The key to humanity is making friends with every type of person out there. Every race, every gender, every religion and every belief. Only then can you begin to understand the bigger picture and have empathy and compassion for all.
You got that right! Preach.
So true, we may not get to live our retirement dream. Full time RVing was ours. After losing my fiancé in June, I bought a minivan and doing some urban camping and adventuring on my days off. Because tomorrow isn’t promised!
Tomorrow is definitely not promised, so sorry about losing your partner. Looking forward to meeting you on one of your adventures. Thanks for watching, Lisa!
Hey Miss Liz. I am glad you are having fun in Az and living large. Great information and tips as always. Safe travels.
Hi Tim, thanks for checking in! Have a great week!
