🎬 3 AMAZING Things To Do in Moab

[thetravelingbrowns]

I look around at everything in my home and realize that none of it is important and I won't miss it when it's time to let go. That includes most of my clothes. It's an easy trade to travel and experience the country!

[darrelkelly]

I don’t think y’all are weird, I feel you just have an amazing relationship and you love each other.

[corgily]

The distraction tip for me is don't distract someone while they are setting up camp or breaking down camp. it is sooo important because dumb dangerous things can happen if you skip or miss something when setting up or unhooking. Almost every time i walk around the camper before we move the camper i find something missed.

[LonghaulLifesavers]

You can't just love your partner you have to LIKE them too!

[marilynmarcus]

You are so encouraging. I am 72 and my sister is 82. We bunk camped in Europe years ago and have felt so stuck waiting in Gods waiting room. Now chapter 3 of our lives is seeing places right here at home. You make me feel brave and so much more prepared. Thank you.

[Pete]

This is our first year RVing . My husband retired really early. I'm terminal and with a aneurysem you never know. We live in Texas so this first year we will dedicate to mostly seeing Texas. If you ever come out this way please let us know. So much fun to be had. I wanna ride a balloon, parasailing, zip line and see God's glory. God bless both of you and your family and friends. Live it up! Angel

[joef]

Thank you soooo much for this!! I took the plunge and just got my 5th wheel after 19yrs of marriage. A newly single, empty nester at 50yrs old and decided to hit the road with my border collie "Daisy". I'm in day 2 of living full time in my new home on wheels and this information is much appreciated!! Keep it up and share all the ins and outs of my new life on the road!!!! BTW, bro, you totally out punted your coverage!!! ;)

[danieldd]

i LOVE How you admit to being weird. THATS THE FIRST part of being a person. Accepting who you are. Go both of you

[stacybrown]

My husband and I have worked together since 1988! We are best friends, and can hardly wait to travel together! You are so right, more communication, more love, and always respect! Enjoyed my first “visit” with you!

[roadstraveledphotography]

Y’all are NOT weird, your extraordinarily awesome!!!
I have such an admiration for both of you.
You have a marriage that surpasses all others.
Keep doing you because this farmgirl needs this channel for my downtime, which is extremely limited.

[hedo]

First I love your channel. I feel a connection with you. I am (was) an RN. I was also an ER nurse. I appreciate what you do.

We are working towards getting an rv and getting started. Our situation is different from most I just turned 62 and she is 60. I am retired on disability. I need a walker or a scooter to get around. But we are going for it. We do not own a house and have no friends or family nearby so we don’t have those issues.

Keep up the great work.

[dangalli]

I couldn't agree more with the "freedom" statement. Less is more. Great video again, thanks!

[kamwick]

We’ve been part time trailering for about 23 years, so know the basics. Just retired, are selling our house and will take delivery of a Solitude to travel full time in about a month. You are SO RIGHT ON about all these things. I do have to say that I actually appreciate the fact that we’re saving water by taking what we call “Navy showers” 😆, . My mother in law, who was a young woman in the 1940’s, used to say that she and her friends would take what they called “PTA showers”, meaning, “pits, ti*s and a$$” 😆. They were a lot more wild than you might think back then. I never forgot that, and sometimes that applies to RV showers as well. As an aside, she and father in law were definitely part of the Cocktail generation. When we went trailering with them, they had a four hour/250 mile rule when towing. Thus meant that we stopped early, set up camp and then enjoyed happy hour, including epic Manhattans. They taught us birdwatching and bridge. They’ve since passed, but we sure appreciate the memories 😻

[MrNicmousseau]

So many great points. The separation from those who are used to seeing you, having you nearby to come and see, or come when they need help is a huge thing. We don’t realize how dependent we can become on each other for support, help with projects, and other things until we are forced to adapt and accommodate. We all hate changing what we are used to and our social norms. Even things like getting used to the new noises while sleeping in the RV with those super insulated, walls of tissue paper-like noise reduction. The first time you hear the difference in noise with the wind and heavy rains while watching Tv. Lol.

Great video you guys! Can’t wait to find out what you have to offer next!!

[adelaidejones]

Thank you! I'm putting my house on the market to start my journey in Three weeks! I appreciate you forging the way!

[oralbabs]

You two are wired in the most adorable way. Its an encouraging example of togetherness.

[BillandKelleyAdventures]

I feel like I’m washing dishes all day. Just cause it’s a small space and they pile up so much faster. We don’t full time but this time of year we hunt and stay in our camera 4 or the 7 days a week. We also love to be around each other all the time so I don’t think it’s weird haha

[xxpaigeaaxx]

My husband and I and our 1 year old daughter are going full RV in the next month! Glad I found your channel, we’re so excited for this jump 🥰 we’re also weird people and are always together when we’re home, it won’t be much of a change for us 😂

We’re not traveling just yet but we have 14 acres we’re sticking it on with a septic and water hookup. We’re going to save for a couple years to build!

[Jessvsherself]

I’m so grateful I found your channel. My husband and I are gearing up to live the RV life with our three kids in the coming year, and your videos are so helpful, entertaining, and encouraging. Thank you for this wonderful content!
