[@sylviahartman2229]

Larry does the best campground review. We miss his riding around and showing each site. More of that Larry. Be safe our there.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Sylvia, I agree. Larry does campground tours the way they should be done 😁 Not sure when we will have time, but the votes are definitely for more tours. Thanks 🤗 Alice

[@rebeccahurd4969]

You may not have sold us on full time camping-YET-but you can always give us a last minute call when you’re passing through. We loved catching up, telling stories and laughing so so much. Safe travels!!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Rebecca, we had such a great time. We definitely need to camp near you again. Your house and neighborhood were beautiful 😍 Thanks again for putting up with us - we may see you in The Keys? Alice

[@UnfinishedBuisnessFL]

You two are our go to, for Campground Tours when booking a site! Larry do more Campground tours!!! Pretty Please and thank you!🙏 😊

Nichole, when we aren’t moving so much, I’ll convince Larry to edit abs release a tour. And thank you - we use our own videos if we return to a campground 😁 Alice

[@JonnyDIY]

I loved crunch time series. Aww what happened to that beautiful lil black puppy? And smart thinking on that 2nd rear camera Larry, I was literally thinking when you showed the camera on bikes "hey they need a wide view shot for backing up and seeing cars behinds them too". Have a great week 🤙

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

We definitely felt the Crunch, Jonny. Glad you enjoyed 😁 Wish we knew about the dog. I called so many rescue places trying to get him help. The second back up camera is awesome. We can switch it to see cars behind us just the bike rack. Thanks. We are in a new state - stop 5 🤗 Alice

[@trishlaw262]

Watched all of your series. That was pretty funny watching you pull the tank on the bike. 😂

Reading comments like yours, Doug, makes all the hard work worth it. And of course, traveling and seeing old friends. Lists just makes sense 😉 🤗 Alice

[@raoulroberts2024]

I completely loved the crunchtime vlogs. I watched them all. The buildup (countdown) to relaunch was superb. Now is time for you to enjoy the travels more and not be obligated to daily vlogs. I want you to feel less hurried and more contemplative in the places you visit. Take the time to smell the roses; videos once a week are more than fine, and if you feel to skip a week every so often, please do. I'll still be here, God's willing, to enjoy what you post. Be safe and be well, Alice and Larry.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Really, really sweet comment. And we appreciate all the support and well wishes. You are right - time to enjoy our hard work getting us ready Thanks again 🤗 Alice

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

E-mail me Alice

[@bookooc5605]

I watched all of them and loved them! In fact, I am going back to the beginning and watching all your videos. I don't travel full time, but travel with just me and a dog, and it's exhausting sometimes. Welcome to Georgia! Oh! Your friend took you to my favorite BBQ place in Atlanta area...Spiced Right!!! I have been going to them for 35 years. You have a good friend! I would love to hang out with you guys, and you can mooch herer anytime.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Oh, no. WE can’t even watch our early videos 😆 Thank you so much. I don’t think people realize how much comments like this mean to us 🤗 What an amazing BBQ place. Thanks, Georgia. We may have to look you up next time we are in the area 😉 Traveling can be fun - but also stressful. Having a dog makes a big difference Thanks again Alice

[@goldfinger180024]

Larry, do more campground tours! Yes, I watched every video in the crunch time series! I love watching you two! I’m sorry it was so much work but it was great for us. Will look forward to your weekly ones if that’s what you do but take time to have fun too! And, as for a clean Larry or the last minute DIYs, I’d take Larry any day of the week and twice on Sundays!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Patrick, high votes for more campground tours 😁 We really appreciate the support and love we have been feeling - thanks. Last summer, we definitely had more fun and published less. We hope to still have fun this while publishing a video once a week. I don’t mind a dirty DIY Larry - just not right before company comes 😁 Thanks again 🤗 Alice

Ken & Pam, it was rough getting back out there, but we are making some great new memories. You guys know what I mean. Hope we run into you out there 🤗 Alice

[@johanstrieter-bh2wq]

I’ve watched all your videos. You did the day after day after day after today I thought they were great very informative. I couldn’t believe how much stuff you guys accomplished in a single day. I thought it was completely amazing. I hope you keep up these great videos I also think that touring the campsites cause everybody a little piece of the information of what to expect when they arrive at such a siteor place. Once again, I want to take the time to say thank you for all the great stuff you guys do and all the great information you share. I hope you have a safe travel and I look forward to your next video.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Johan, wow. We really appreciate how long you have been watching. I’M surprised how much Larry could get done - especially with his condition. Another vote for campground tours 😁 Thanks again for such a thoughtful comment. We are on to stop 5 - week 3 🤗 Alice

[@eileens927]

Every single camp out last year we dealt with rain but we still found enjoyment in it, it reminded me of growing up on the farm & staying out in the bubble camper we had for 4H fairs, the rain pelting on the roof is so soothing to me! First time out this year, we went to my neice’s new seasonal site, weekend was originally calling for rain earlier in the week but then said sunny skies for the weekend… it rained 😢. Her friends said to her… oh, your aunt is coming, yeah it’s gonna rain. I think maybe I enjoy the rain too much!!!!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Eileen, I don’t mind rain if it’s not a major destination- or I’m alone in RV with a tornado warning 😳 We don’t like hitching or unhitching in the rain. Maybe I should know your location always and not camp there if you bring rain 😆 Alice

[@Cathy-hg9xw]

Loved the vlogs. Hope to see more. Also love the Canadian T-shirt’s.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Cathy, we are working on state 2/week 2 now. Hope we can keep the nice a week video now. Glad you are enjoying the vlogs. We went to Canada 3 summers in a row and Larry grew up in Ontario 🇨🇦 Alice

John, We loved camping in Algonquin 🇨🇦 And thank you so much for watching the crunch! 😁 Travel day today 🤗 Alice

[@SevenBears1]

Daily vlogs were good and fun.. I do all my own prep and teardown even if I'm camping with someone.. I prefer to triple check everything myself..No lists...I like Larry's site by site videos.. I'm a planner for every detail of my trips.. My friend hates to plan and all of her camping stories include some type of avoidable frustration.. Thanks DMC 🐻

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

James, thanks for being there throughout that. It was a bit hectic. Even with lists, we check each other’s work. Does seem people want more of his tours - we will try to fit one in when we have time (When Larry has time 😄) we there was a “Larry” video on our current site - about to leave - pull through but camping area was on wrong side, serious curve, ramp - so Larry pulled IN the OUT 😳 I like to plan, but we have had some serious fun on spontaneous trips. Thanks for sticking with us 🤗 Alice

We just traveled from home in northern Wisconsin to our daughters in Glenwood Springs, CO. We took 6 days to arrive, traveling about 200 miles each day.......not bad at all. Stayed at either Harvest Hosts or City / County campgrounds along the way. We will dilly-daddle going back home and take maybe 3 weeks. We will just wing it.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Sounds awesome. We have a longer day today - 300 miles or so. I get it. I’m not a fan of “winging” it - that’s Larry 😁 Enjoy and safe travels 🤗 Alice

[@bryanwood84]

Absolutely do more campground tours!!! I watch them all as its part of my travel planning!!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Bryan, every vote for campground, I tell Larry 😁 We rewatch our own videos if we go back to the same campground. Wish we had a “Larry” tour for some of these recent hard to park sites 😳 Alice

[@lisamcgrath3132]

Of course we watched all the crunch time videos but we have watched every single video you guys have put out. We’ve been with you guys from the beginning😉

Lisa, you are in a very small group 😉 Believe me, I see your name and I know you have been there for us and continue to Alice

[@sandramcfarland2704]

Alice is right! Less Junk More Journey had an episode where a small bead got caught under their slide and literally tore a hole in their flooring. That would bother us too.

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Sandra, exactly. It’s worth the extra couple of minutes to clean the floor and under the slide lip 👍 Alice

[@okayg5735]

I am glad too see you back on the road. We enjoyed all the Crunch time videos, and actually looked forward to each day’s release. Scruffy Looks great! Definitely keep his paws off the hot boardwalk. The wife spotted your Scooby Doo throw on the back of your sofa and now wants one. I found the checklists on your site. We will put them to use. Oh, I’ll say this again, we love your campground tours. I found your channel a while ago when I on a whim searched for a campground video of Payne’s Prairie and your video was top of the list. So yeah, Larry - more campground tours please!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

We loved doing the videos and glad you loved them, too but glad we are back to once a week 😁 The Scooby Doo was actually my son’s when he was young. When we sold the house and went full time, he didn’t want it. So now it’s for the dog 🐾 ❤️ No hot ground for my pups. Glad our checklists are helpful. We need to update and add more. With all these great comments about the campground tours, hopefully it will convince Larry to do more. We appreciate all the loyal followers that enjoy our silliness 😁 🤗 Alice

[@glendalab7567]

We have a leak under our sink and it happened the same way... couldn't tell where it was coming from. Eventually it started leaking badly enough that I could tell it was the cold water hose. Tightened it up. Moved. Started leaking again. So I put a large Ziploc baggie underneath both hoses, taped in place and check them from time-to-time. Once we're home we'll figure out a more permanent solution. Good luck!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Glenda, Sorry to hear that. We THOUGHT we found the problem - but alarm went off again. When we have a longer stay, we will try another solution. Good luck Alice

[@crj5631]

Haven’t watched in a while, but I watched every episode of the crunch time. Loved it

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Glad you found your way back and enjoyed the crunch series. Hope you the CAAT series, too 🤗 Alice

What a team working well together & like the division of chores! 🫣 Was that a two wheel gray water hauler🫣 I am a firm believer of written check lists and that hanging info list for the campground and emergency contacts for that stay Wonderful Idea! All The Best! Be Well Be Safe & Stay Blessed. Happy Travels,

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Well, after 40 years together, we better know how to work together 😆 Larry added front wheels to the blue boy 😉 Yes! Lists. Why not. Traveling can be stressful - anything to alleviate some problems is a bonus. We are in a new state, spot 5. Thanks as always for the well wishes 🤗 Alice

[@royallen9698]

I loved your 10 days of a video every day, but I can see that it was probably extremely difficult to pull off. It doesn't leave much time to enjoy your day. New subscriber here and love your channel. We're currently on a 2 month tri with 2 other couples from Socal out to South Dakota and then back to SoCal. Safe travels...

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

We had tornado warning today? But looks like it missed us, too Glad it missed you - all those affected, we are keeping them in our thoughts. I have 1 Buc-ee’s magnet, a generic one while we were in Tennessee years ago. Do they make one for each state? Larry won’t be happy to hear that 😆 Alice

Nice video thank you. 🙏 Larry goes from in the dog box into hero for good reversing👍 I like your second camp site. Nice scenery and you have some shade. I watched all your "crunch time video" they were good. At times I felt guilty sitting relaxing and drinking a nice mixture of hot chocolate and coffee and Larry is hard at work preparing things and Alice hard at work editing. Larry please make a video of each camp site and edit because Alice is taking a break from editing 😂. I do not think I could RV, too much work 😂😂. I will sit relax with my chocolate, coffee mixture drinks and watch your guys great videos. 🙏

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Brian, in and out of the doghouse is a daily routine for Larry 😄 The second stop did have beautiful trees. But it’s not a campground we would come back to if we can help it. Thank you so much for following our adventures And you are right - Larry needs to do more campground tours - they are very helpful for campers. Don’t feel guilty - we did the same thing before we went full time - watched other KZbinrs. We hope our new series is as informative- and entertaining- as our Crunch series. Thanks again 🤗 Alice

For your water leak … we had an issue where we would get a leak sometimes - found out when the hot water heater was turned we on it would cause the water to expand on the hot water lines and one of our fittings would leak (a lot …) until the pressure was reduced. Intermittent issue solved with a new threaded connector. If you have the flexible tubing (not pex) with a threaded connection that might be your leak …

Rained the 2nd travel day in Alabama no fun but got better

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

I don’t even like to drive a car in the rain 😁 Glad to hear it got better - hoping for the same Alice

A tip and a question: Tip - check to see if your rig (under the sink in this case) is plumbed correctly, that's how most leaks begin. Question - What happened to the black puppy? (sorry, I am obsessed with dogs) 🤣

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

We are sure it’s NOT plumbed right 😑 It’s on Larry’s list. We got different stories about the dog depending on which employee or volunteer we talked to. Someone said they just grab strays and drop them off outside the campground - no humane society close by. Another story was it was the game keepers dog? Wish I knew it was safe 🐾 ❤️ Alice

You need footies for the dog for the heat from the pavement

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Sharon, I had some for our senior dog Scrappy. But they don’t fit Scruffy. I need to get new ones. I don’t mind picking her up 🐾 ❤️ Alice

I watched all your shows. What software do you use for editing? How did you learn to edited? Have fun!!

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Rose, We appreciate all the support. We use Adobe Premier. Larry has been making videos for awhile - personal channels. He watched KZbin videos about it and still does. And he has taught me a great deal. Alice

Got a question you got e-bikes what Brand of bike rack are you using and it is an e-bike rack. Thank you

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Jon, it’s a Kuat approved for e-bikes and RV. But it’s only 1 ebike about 50 pounds and a special mountain bike about 22 pounds. But we also have a sewer tote on it Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpzaXn2XnJlgabMsi=oV_YN361_lsq-jXo Alice

What happen with roaming campground dog?

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Jackie, I wish we knew. We heard different stories depending on who we talked to. For instance, it was an employee’s dog vs they grabbed the dog and dumped outside the campground I called so many agencies and rescue groups trying to get it help 🐾 ❤️ Alice

No pooh or tissue in my black tank!

No tall people? 🤥 Mary wants a magnet.

Brad, we would pull in the awning for you 😆 We didn’t give you a RV DMC magnet? Sorry. Next place we are near a post office, we will send you one. Big sis should have a magnet 🤗 And that helicopter Zion ride for her birthday was amazing Alice

Y’all have to much junk we lived in our 5er for 5 years and never had as much junk?

[@DownsizingMakesCents]

Curtis, Everyone is different. That’s awesome you could do it the way you wanted to. Frankly, a lot of it is for Larry’s DIYs - truck and RV - saves money Alice
