Do You HAVE to Be HANDY to RV Full-Time? // Ginnie Springs, FL

❤️ Live a life of less junk, more journey with our community: teamjourney.com
We arrive in Ginnie Springs and discover our rear cabinets are falling off the wall. No matter how well an RV is built, things happen and need to be repaired. How handy with tools do you have to be to full-time RV?

100% team matching socks! Also, I love how you all keep your priorities of your walk with God even while on the road. Tons of respect!!

[@cheersdarlin916]

I am ABSOLUTELY on Nathan’s side. All socks match in my house. Can’t deal with mismatched. 😁

[@david_reynolds3660]

Socks do have to match! For everybody! It would drive me nuts

[@ksgoldwing1]

Really appreciate you guys being open about church attendance and the desire to keep following God on the road. Very refreshing!! Kerry

[@juliewilkins6411]

I was so excited to see this upload...I have wondered how you dealt with worship and the fact that you addressed this and did it unashamedly was such a Blessing! I have followed you since you first began your journey and have grown to love you all but this post has really caused me to love you more! I think I'll present this to my own church as an outreach ministry! Pray for you all daily!

[@douglasolsen1208]

My quote for the day is, ‘I had to leave my eyes open till I fell asleep.’ Children are such a precious gift for so many reasons! On another note, matched socks are a deal in our family. We have one grandson who never wears a matching pair of socks. When he was small and we took care of him, it was a struggle that I finally gave up on. After some stress on my part, it finally dawned on me that a pair of socks is two socks and that is good enough. Glad you were able to fix the cabinets without too much trouble. Thanks for the video!

[@freedomwins5592]

Classic and "Water is Wet"

[@douglasolsen1208]

@@freedomwins5592 I liked that one also. Kids at that stage of life can be so much fun!

[@roydavis2242]

A hack that a couple full time RVers with Fifth Wheels we know did was add shock absorbers to them to minimize the bouncing. As a retired pastor, I have held services in many campgrounds. We've spend several nights in church parking lots long before anyone thought about adding them to harvest host. If we were traveling through an area that we needed an overnight, I would contact local churches. I've also been asked to preach while there.

[@david_reynolds3660]

I’ll put it out there, I’m single Man looking to retire here in few years. I want to see what this country is all about considering I missed it driving by it was a truck driver all these years. You guys are so real and so fun enjoyable to watch! Thank you

[@FairyChild_For_Freedom-Justice]

That is my dream as well and as a single person you kind of go hmm but there's so many of us out there and so many groups for us to join that we might be single but will never be alone ❤️

[@Brittanyleighplusthree]

get out there and experience everything you drove by 🤍

[@karonmccarver4201]

Same for me, single, but when i retire in a couple of years, im getting out there in an RV and seeing the country.

[@trishagail353]

I'm so thankful to hear that y'all keep God first and foremost in your lives and your journey!!! So nice of some churches to allow RV'ers to stay in their parking lots. I hate your cabinets broke, but at least Nathan has the know-how to fix things.

[@jillsinkclear4552]

I love we are seeing JJ’s personally coming thru.

[@donnaharris4459]

The springs with the paddleboards looked like fun, glad you got the cabinets fixed. Lovely to see you all going to church as a family, and how you manage that being on the road. Enjoy your week and take care.❤❤🇬🇧

[@robertfbarron]

I love that you find places to go to Church on the road!! I love watching you and your beautiful family enjoying life in your RV! We are in a 40ft 5th wheel in Florida for the winter and going home at the end of March. May God Bless you and your family with awesome adventures!

[@lindybetzner2581]

We love that you talked about finding a church on the road. It’s not easy, but so important!!

[@conniemckenzie7801]

Can use the unmatched socks to make simple Barbie doll clothes. Fun for Hensley. Can glue sequence, ribbon etc. Cut the foot part off. Use the leg /ankle part as skirts, sleeveless dresses and blouses. Can cut small holes for arms, if, you want.

[@loragunning5394]

When I was in high school (early 70's), I started purposely wearing mis-matched socks to school, as a kind of personal fashion statement (my mother was a clothing designer). The socks would always compliment each other and other parts of my outfit, so while they didn't match each other, they were part of an overall coordinated look. Within a week or two of debuting my mis-matched socks look, other girls also started coming to school wearing mis-matched socks. I'd started a fad! Nowdays my OCD wouldn't allow me to wear mis-matched socks, but it was fun when I was a teenager...

[@FairyChild_For_Freedom-Justice]

Lol so did my daughter she's 27 now and still does it and style and refuses to conform to be like everyone else more props to you guys but do that

[@bobsimcox1194]

Wow, what a journey that spring was! It looked very tight. Nice to hear you two talking about church and God. Great place to boondock on a Saturday before church lol

[@tracystrickland3288]

As an OR nurse, your socks are often your only identity! Miss matched socks are my thing! SOOOOOO much fun!

[@kevinthomas8025]

Online church is definitely a great asset. My parents went out for a couple months and went to a few different types and locations of churches. Glad to hear y'all were welcomed to stay and felt welcomed with the goody bag.

[@duckiegirl58]

Thank you for addressing church attendance! I've wondered a long time why churches didn't get involved in HH! Glad they are!

[@brettelizabethspore]

Love that the church lets people park there and gives them a gift bag. So cool.

[@tylerlindsey5637]

Thanks so much for addressing the topic of faith and church for the mobile community. With covid, and online services with our church, we spent 6 months on the road summer of 2021. Church was a huge consideration on how to do extended travel.

[@yvonndarochelle6301]

Thank you for sharing how you continue to worship while traveling. So good to know that God can still be your priority when on the road. It has to be a blessing to see God working in so many different ways and with so many like-minded brothers and sisters in Christ.

[@pamelashearer9709]

It was so neat to see Ginnie Springs again. Years ago when we first got our scuba license we took a trip down there to practice diving with a group of others. It wasn't nearly as clear then as it was when you were there. I will wear mismatched socks as long as my shoes cover them but not when they can be seen. Lol. Have a great time wherever you're going. Can't wait to see you next week.

[@timparr8656]

Really like that you talk about your relationship with God. Your priorities are in order and it shows. Thank you.

[@MrKnightoflight]

I am so grateful that after many years of watching your travels, that you had an episode about attending church on the road!!! Our family has attended many churches while traveling. It's an awesome way of meeting and worshipping with others who love Jesus Christ. Our most unique experience was attending church on the beach in Maui, with sea turtles popping their heads out of the water behind the worship band. If you are ever in the North Canton, Ohio area on a weekend, we would be glad to have you join us at our local church. We also attend churches when we are in Tennessee. God bless!!! ... Brandon Gilbert

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.

[@TheFiremanJoe]

So glad that you were able to find a place to worship on the road!

[@waynecornwell2321]

Thanks for bringing us along and thank you for your faith! It's one of the reasons I love your channel! Oh - and I'm team Nathan on the socks!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

You are so welcome!

[@blueheartcrochet1962]

Ya are cutest couple and family 💙💖💙 Love watching ya as ya give us old folks lots of inspiration and hope to keep pushing on with God’s will 🙏 Thank ya Leticia

[@steventownsend6539]

Aman to your statement of faith in God. As I have said in the past, we are full time for the past 6 years and spend most of our time serving at faith based Camps and conference centers. We have been in southern Florida since January and in two weeks we are heading back to TX to a camp there. We enjoy the local congregations around the camps locations. We are also staying at a parking lot of a church in the panhandle on the way to TX. We learn to be handy as we travel this life. Thank you for sharing your life.

[@Ambrocia3]

I have 3 kids. I stopped matching their socks YEARS ago. I spent soooo much time before matching socks. I don’t have time for that anymore. I wash the laundry. Kids & husband put it away. It’s up to them to find & match socks. I match my socks but no one else’s. Also, LOVE that you’re sharing your road churching!!! 🙌🏻

[@ricklarson114]

Loved it when you finished pumping up the boards and someone said "done already"!

[@jamiehiatt7158]

You have influence my life with you less junk more journey that I am doing it in my home ,I do have a small camper ,but I loved your idea so much I applied it to my life in my home which is paid off and I'm loving it y'all are a great inspiration with your videos thank y'all so much ,you just don't know how many peoples life's y'all have touch in your journey ,enjoy your life and live on ! Y'all are extra special to all that see your journey !

[@FairyChild_For_Freedom-Justice]

I have to say or entertainment while Dad was fighting with the pump was quite enjoyable somebody is growing up and becoming the camera hands I love it ❤️

[@kimcarver195]

LOL I'm with Mr. Nathan..gotta have matching socks.. my OCD will not allow it!! LOL Thank you so much Nathan and Marissa for your adventures and sharing them with us. 👍❤️

[@cassb4073]

“The waters all wet” bless it 🥰

[@tammyk2754]

You could do an Instagram poll for fun, too! Nathan- match those socks. One of my kids bought the youngest sister a pair of socks for Christmas where one sock was red and the other was green because they knew it would drive me crazy! 😆

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

😂

[@wendyl6185]

Quick tip for the paddleboards. The little tiny air mattress inflators that come with the Walmart/Coleman mattresses... If you just hold it on the hole, it will get you to where you just need to top it off to the 12psi with the foot pump for a minute or so. Cheap and just as good as the expensive ones they sell "just for" the paddleboards!

[@danielkwiatkowski4489]

Love the whole Crystal River area. So many things to do. I hope you guys had fun.

[@crisandradesousa8894]

Hey guys, your DeWalt compressor, has another hose for inflating mats, you can use that to inflate the paddle boards to 3/4 of the way, then the rest you can use the hand pump. Make sure you use the right hose tip,I use the same little dewalt compressor to do inflatable kayaks, works like a dream. Hope that helps.

[@djbvida]

Looking forward to hearing where you are going. You always are up to the challenge!

[@AlexaMGilbert]

Love you for your comments about your commitment to God. It is something I had to learn when I was travelling in my motorhome. Blessings on you and your family.

[@dianasellars6114]

So many different churches to visit, such a blessing.

[@suzannethompson869]

We’re looking forward to seeing where you’re going.

[@heatherjolly8389]

"just take your time" sounds like something my hubbs and I would say. such fun joking around and being a team.

[@vanessalang3966]

I am so thankful you addressed how you still worship while traveling. We are selling our house soon and will be in our RV for a bit. That is a concern.

[@LiveFree123]

You are so much fun to watch! Watching you navigate this lifestyle is inspiring to say the least. Thanks for sharing how you navigate church life too! I am one who can wear miss matched socks and I’m only 67yrs old and enjoying life. ☺️ Much love from your Canadian fan ❤️🇨🇦

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Aww thank you!

[@robertobeltramelli4138]

First time watching you in 4K, i saw the logo in the upper left corner! Wow what a difference on our Sony Smart Tv at 65”! Feels like we are with you!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Even we don't see our own videos that big. 😀

[@mwebb3014]

My husband and I will be buying an RV within the next year and we have discussed places to stop overnight other than Walmart and we both agreed that church parking lots would be perfect, so this was cool seeing you stop at one! Also we are anxious to visit some of the beautiful springs in Florida.

[@betteclack8200]

Yes@being Handy. My husband always takes basic tools and the Dewalt drill. On our first big trip on our honeymoon on our old travel trailer the air conditioner died in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in early July....we had to head to home depot, bought a window a/c and some lumber to build a shelf on the outside for the window ac to fit because we were in PA from NC for a week, so needed some kind of A/C.

[@janrogers8352]

I solved the sock problem by buying only one colour of socks, any two that I grab are bound to match.🤣

[@jones2journey]

Awesome to see how you worship on the road! Thank you for sharing.

[@aeromero1980]

We have two paddle boards too. We have seen some amazing things while using them. I think the most memorable was using them on a lake in the Grand Tetons. Stunning!! Our over the couch cabinets just did that too!! We were on our way to San Antonio when I noticed it. Crazy!

[@wendellroginaamburgy7154]

As rough as the roads are things give a little...your family is amazing...good video...JJ talking will sooth the day lol...you all have good values...we do the same visit local churches where we camp...God bless you all

[@kellyuf87]

Yes for mismatched socks! Ginnie is very close to Gainesville, so it’s a big college party all weekend long!

[@gthornton3]

I’m with Nathan.

[@rhondalyn100]

Fully appreciate the conversation about finding church and honoring God while traveling. Thank you.

[@kath4264]

Mismatched socks are the best ones! I strive for the biggest difference possible!

[@garycloud9631]

Hey guys really appreciated the video, as always. I want to thank you for your comments on how you do church while traveling and your thoughts on your relationship with God. So glad you were willing to share this information for all your viewing audience. God bless.

[@nemo227]

Wow! Those kids are growing very fast.

[@libbyblackmon885]

I feel you Nathan!! I could NOT wear mismatched socks!

[@michelleconcannon7584]

I don't have the constitution for the big rigs and navigating those trees. I think I screamed at the last video how close he got /o\ lol.. I'd be parked in the open field. Bless our guys who are like 'I got this!'

[@sherriweber7105]

This was a great video. Sorry that you didn’t fit in the first campsite but glad you were able to get into one that you fit in. Nice park that you can take the family paddle boarding or canoeing or kayaking. Glad you had Nathan as your handy man to fix the cupboard doors. It was an easy fix..The answer to the question of socks yes I had worn two different sets of socks going up work. One was blue and brown. Another time one was brown and black. It looked like I dressed in the dark. Lol! Glad you at a church where they gave your kids something to travel with and you were able to stay there., That’s an answer to prayer. Hope you both have a great weekend and week.

[@sherbertandjc]

Love the inside of your rv, I must say again!!! It is so home style not rv style anymore. It is gorgeous! Love your channel and your precious family. God bless your journey in every way! ❤🙏⚘❤

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks so much!

[@philhogan2669]

I always enjoy your well-designed videos to learn of your journeys. As a fellow Christian, I appreciate the extra effort you take to attend church on Sundays to worship! Not so easy on the road.

[@debijeffries43]

Gotta match, Team Nathan❤️

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Awesome video. Thank you. Blessings

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

You are so welcome

[@crystalcottrill1284]

I am definitely a sock matching but my daughters and grandkids like mismatched socks! So I totally feel your pain Nathan! 😂

[@bettyruth9142]

Y’all are the cutest family !! 😀😀😀😀

[@cristabelle98]

I’m with Nathan, I always need to match my socks. My husband and oldest son on the other hand…. 😂 Very excited to see where you’re going next!

[@ElaineSharon358]

The kids are getting so big!!!! Travel safe

[@roxanneturner5761]

I have to have the socks matching too!!!!

[@julieellison7179]

My husband wears just plain white socks. He doesn't care if they are the same length. I do- I have been buying the same brand and sorting out the others. I'm with you Nathan I like my socks to match and match my outfit too! In the summer it is sandals all the way!

[@srice6231]

What a great church to let you stay and a gift bag!

[@candyc6499]

I will on occasion wear miss matched socks but not when going out and never when going to church. Love your videos. Nathan you are handy you need to give yourself more credit. Another great video. Safe travels.

[@AdventuresWithBrian83]

Nathan if you have more than one paddle board you need the Outdoor Master Shark 2 12v SUP pump. Total game changer! It can inflate a board to 15 psi in under 8 mins.

[@charleshoy9105]

I enjoy your videos. My wife and I are now retired and I appreciate the non painting of rainbow and lollipops. We have 2 grandchildren 7 & 5 and spend a lot more time with them now. We still are not sold on full time RV though. I like your RV set up. I have a 2019 Ram but it's only a 1500 with the 5.7. Be safe as your Family travels north.

[@lizchilders4154]

Mismatched socks are in style! 😀

[@patricksmith4317]

You’re literally 1 hour from where I live. I love I there. I am planning to camp there in November Before the cold weather comes.

[@donnavernon7023]

Love yall so much!

[@davidlegge8303]

We spent a night at that church a couple of weeks ago. Very welcoming folks. It was during the week so we didn't get to join them for service. Sure beats a Walmart.

[@esthermcgough3995]

My 3 grandchildren do mis matched socks. I think its great. I do online church. Just connecting with God is my goal. I wake up singing my God that is who you are. Loved your video. Tell your beautiful kids they are growing so fast

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

I (Kelley) got a Irocker last year and was like I am so so using these all the time. HAHA, I only used 1 time just cause I dreaded having to pump it up so I understand. I could never do miss-match socks but Bill doesn't care.

[@chrissweisberger7509]

driving across the country many years ago i met so many great people sleeping in my car in church lots

[@sheilacaine3962]

Can’t wait.

[@ronnavaughn2928]

No missed matched socks here!! 😀

[@dohman76]

As a guy that carries 2 ISUP's in my camper for camping.... spend the money on the 12V pump. They also sell a little adapter you put in the valve that has a regular bike valve stem on it that may work with the compressor you already have. The cost of the pump was worth it to me to not battle the pump.

[@LandElevated]

We really appreciate this video. We'll surely share this to our clients to get tips on how to start living in an RV. They'll surely learn a lot from your channel 😊

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@1MillionMileRoadTrip]

Love your video’s , you have a great family.

[@mpking828]

@2:25 I have that same Dewalt pump. You are using the High Pressure side. You should use the low pressure side to quickly inflate, and then the hand pump to get to the right pressure.

[@toddlafond2920]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. God bless you guys.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thanks for watching!

[@uphereoutthere2807]

I'm with Nathan on the mismatched socks debacle...skeeves me every time my sons do it!! Eeeww!!! 😆

[@vlunceford]

Socks definitely gotta match! Great video!

[@davidoverholt251]

I think it is wonderful that churches that have a big parking lot can allow RV's for the night! Probably more inn the South! PTL that safe places are still near in these world troubled times!

[@exploringcoasttocoast0203]

Nathan, we drove in an area just like that with the leaning tree. Only we DID hit the tree. We’re still in the process of negotiations and choosing where to get it fixed. Yes, I’ll be walking with the trailer now.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Oh no, sorry to hear that.

[@susanfries3603]

Matching socks all the way, Team Nathan!

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

NO on the mismatched socks, LOL!

[@cjv6052]

Irritating to have cabinets come loose on a new RV Happened to a good friend so they warned us to keep the heavy stuff down low otherwise I wouldn’t have thought of it. Glad Nathan knew how to repair them😊

[@mjo8856]

Good for you guys in going to church!

[@allanwarmflash4440]

safe travels

[@dianabergeron7499]

We use tension rods in our pantry, cabinets and fridge to keep everything secure. Our old Class C cabinets would stay closed and stuff would fall out...

[@skpjoecoursegold366]

my Mom's cookbooks took down the cabinet behind the driver's seat, Class A, and when they came visiting, a 2x4 was holding it up.
