Single female RVr. Downsized from 2400sf to a van! Had no problem tossing "stuff". Lived in one room for almost a yr to get used to enclosed space while camping once a month to get used to the van. I am happy happy happy. The stress I had from my stickNbricks house is finally gone. I have zero regrets. It is definitely more affordable than my house was. I absolutely love life again. I don't have to cook constantly, clean constantly and minimal clothing.

Ok, this is realistic. Thanks. Most of the ones I look at act like they're just trying to sell something. That mood of talk. This is real, thanks again.

This is one of the most honest videos about rving I have seen. We part time RV in a motorhome and I agree with everything they are saying. I also thought it would be inexpensive and very flexible. Ha. Not the case. We have to plan 12 to 18 months in advance which is difficult but we still enjoy it.

1. Have your friend mail your mail, taxes, etc.
2. If you need a doctor often use urgent care (check insurance coverage) ER has Fast Track which is similar to an Urgent Care.
3. Repairs are happening more and more because the RVs are made much cheaper these days.
4. Face time works great for staying in touch. Circle back once a year and invite all close friends and family. Another idea would pick a place every six months and have a join up.
5. Planning and being organized helps a bunch. Larger RVs are harder to find places to stay because they are just too big. Most people try to hold on to more items then they need, it's just stuff. My rule is if you don't use it within 6 months, you don't need it.
Separation is needed that when you take the car and go shopping by yourself, take the dogs on a walk. Just because you live in an RV does not mean you have to do everything together all the time. You don't do that when you have a home. Find hobbies to do separate.
6. Question for you, once you have seen all of the US. What is your next plans? Will you use some of those miles to travel, will you buy a home again?
I agree either sell the house or rent it out if that works in your plans. Maybe do that for a year to see if you like raving without giving up your home.
Thank you for the video.
Be safe out there and enjoy the adventures and memories.

Great RV and excellent pros and cons. We love our Class A we have been gradually doing longer and longer trips and travel a longer portion of the year. We look forward to being full time but will always have a home base for many reasons . Number one you never know when you will really need it and at some point in life we will and the homes and probably interest will only go up. Always good to buy and be debt free! Great video to share new subscribers and wishing you all the best!

We are seriously looking into purchasing our RV you both have motivated us thank you both for being transparent I love your journey and hopefully one day we will see you out in a location continue to be blessed

[AJGUNNER]

Can I just say, your post was extremely honest. Loved your post.

[scottsmith]

Just started following you guys. Have enjoyed the videos so far. We just got a class A traded in a fifth wheel and are weekend warriors now looking forward to the most timing days. Thanks for the videos your Rig is great

The ability to move it to move it to avoid bad weather is a pro!

[elisaatsignet]

Very inspiring! My son just graduated high school and is set up for college. I'm ready for my next adventure! Thanks for the content!

[RedgieKeller]

Great video, I agree with a lot of your pro, and cons. We what to travel more, but don’t want to sell our house. Simply because if we get to a point where we can’t rv any more we have a place to go to. Our youngest son will live at home while we are gone, plus he pays the mortgage while we are away! And my wife is still working and can do her job remotely with our star link. I’m retired, so I stay busy cleaning the motorhome or walking the dog, or cooking dinner. But the biggest thing I love about traveling in our motorhome is it’s our home away from home, my bed, my bathroom, my shower, etc. hard to put on price on that, plus the people you meet and the experiences.

[DylanW]

You guys re so genuine in what you do. Very informative, keep it up🎉

[kidsplaymusic]

Thank you for your candid approach to living in a RV you made it clear about this style.

[darryldickson]

I just love the couples choreography making these videos like they don't want to make money off of YouTube😂😂😂

[sallyaguilar]

Thank you for the information. We have been thinking of doing it so this was very helpful. Merry Christmas and happy New. 🎉

[MillionMileRoadTrip]

We broke down in Texas. Our serpentine belt broke. Buckners in Amarillo was awesome. Maybe we will meet you on our 1 million mile road trip.

[mrmurphy]

We full timed for 9 years. They were the best 9 years of my life. We work camped in NY, NC, AR, TX and CA. It all came to a halt about a year ago when the ford motor Triton V10 crapped the bed after only 36k miles. We bought it brand new without a mile on it. Never drove over 70 MPH took good care of what I could. Still didn’t matter I was told at the Itasca factory that being as it was a base model and a beginner RV. The MSRP was closed to 140k. What did I expect.

[BigC]

Happy New Year hope you both start vlogging the experience too ❤🙏🏾

[jtosti]

Love your coach, I’m sure you have heard that before… I’m really enjoying your videos, thanks for sharing and stay safe

[aeconsulting]

Just watched MJ & Izzy’s video which brought me to your channel. True statement, you cannot buy time….We are in our early sixties and part time RVers. Full time RVing seems to me is more adventurous, plan for the unplanned kind of scenario. For some it could also be out of financial reason not be able or not want to have a stick & bricks house and an expensive Class A or 5th wheel with all the maintenance, insurance etc. All your top Pros & Cons are spot on. Enjoy being on the road, safe travels!
