End of RV life? Texas series finale

The final days of our winter Texas road trip lead us through California, Oregon, and Washington back home to British Columbia. The journey is bittersweet because we decided to sell our truck and trailer and realized this would be our last trip with this rig. Reminisce with us over the grand adventures we’ve had so far and share some of the things we won’t miss about RV Life.

Sad and happy. Really enjoyed the b roll from the past. So great especially when I remember many of those clips. Nice seeing Benny 😢. Cassino camping is great with security and all.

[@carolnavan4137]

A great farewell video for the trailer. Can’t wait to follow you onto new adventures!

[@HomeARoam]

It served us well ❤️

[@larryvincent2098]

Life full of memories !! Thank you for sharing this adventure with me !! Enjoyed your channel!! As always BS & BK & BC !!

[@HomeARoam]

Thanks Larry! We're hoping to get a van soon-ish and be back on the road for more adventures again.

[@bobmartens1089]

Best vid you have ever put out ❤

[@HomeARoam]

Awe, thanks 🙏

[@TP-es1pf]

Benny will love the van , no shuttling, and you don’t have to turn the heat on at stops because it’s already warm! We love it. ( still need a check list though…)😁.

[@HomeARoam]

Yes, another benefit to getting a van! 😃 There have been many times we've stopped with the trailer and kept our winter coats on because it was so cold inside. Benny didn't appreciate those stops so much either.

[@robinstickle9171]

Awe, lots of great memories and adventures in the trailer. Onward to something new. Good luck on your search for a van.

[@HomeARoam]

Thanks! We can't wait to see what we find 😃

[@jerrydaminato743]

Sad and exciting. Really enjoyed the clips from the past as I remember most of those. Such a laugh. Nice to see Benny 😥.

[@HomeARoam]

The memory reel brought back so many memories for us, too.

[@TilFurtherNotice]

Loved that trailer! So fun, so many adventures. Can’t wait to see what’s next. A van 😍

[@HomeARoam]

It was hard to say goodbye, but it served us well and our travel style has outgrown it. We can't wait to see what #vanlife holds for us 😀

[@terencebaxter4821]

Good luck with your new rv and adventures. Enjoy your videos.

[@HomeARoam]

Thanks! We can't wait to see what we'll end up with!

[@thewanderingshores]

Looking forward to your next chapter and to see what van you end up with. Safe Travels- Kyle and Michelle

[@HomeARoam]

Thanks! Now for the hard work of finding 'the perfect' van for us.

[@joe1611]

Mel & Jay, glad you made it home safely. Thank you for taking us along this great journey. I’ve enjoyed my Sunday mornings drinking my coffee and watching the latest episodes throughout the trip. Oh no, what will I do next Sunday. 😢 I can’t wait to see where your next adventure will take you (us). Take care. - Joe (Dallas TX)

[@HomeARoam]

Hi Joe, thanks for following along the journey and taking time to comment. Don't worry, we have a video next Sunday, but something a little different from our home base.

[@jamesbenton8347]

That whole drive up I5 is so familiar. I’m glad you made it home safe and sound. Your decision to downsize will take some adjustment, but my guess is that you will appreciate less towing, set-up and tear-down. You might miss not having a base-camp, so I’ll be interested to see how you do. Safe travels!

[@HomeARoam]

It will definitely require a change in habits when we're on the road for sure. We're sure it'll be a bit of an adjustment, but we're excited at the prospect of being able to pull into any gas station or roadside stop with ease 😄

[@rainbowlove7235]

Wow I have to admit I got a little emotional, but in a good way... Looking forward to seeing your next adventures ❤

[@HomeARoam]

Making/Watching the memory reel brought back so many memories for us. What a fun few years we've had with that trailer.

[@SHHHMotoTravels]

Well we look forward to seeing what your next step will be !!! Cheers

[@HomeARoam]

Thanks! Hoping to find something amazing!

[@paulknowles8469]

What a great video to wrap up your trailer journey! My hunch is the van will be a lot less work - says me who has never travelled with either a trailer or camper/van!

[@HomeARoam]

😅 that's our thinking, too. But we also think there will be things we haven't thought of yet that we won't be expecting. Pro/cons to every rig.

[@mauricegagnon4654]

Hi guy's, glad you made it home safely. It was really nice to see the flashbacks from when it all started. Looking forward to seeing your next rig and the adventures that you will be making with that. Great video and content and thank you for sharing!

[@HomeARoam]

The flashbacks really made us realize how much we've learned and how far we've come. So many great memories. Thanks for watching!

[@mauricegagnon4654]

@HomeARoam I don't think that I have missed a single episode and again thanks for sharing.

[@jameskim62]

Have checklists like the inside of an airplane cockpit. Have one on the steering wheel ?????? Looking forward to your van adventures?~~ I have 2 van campers 26-foot Serenity and a Honda Odyssey camper....

[@HomeARoam]

Wow, 2!? That's so nice to have the choice for whichever adventure you're going on. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@tdwestcott2704]

We’ve enjoyed your travels. You’ve had some great travel trailer adventures. What’s the name of where you camped in Red Bluff? We don’t recognize it.

[@HomeARoam]

Thanks! That was Sycamore Grove Campground, a nice small campground not too far off the highway.

[@ricka1133]

How did you get your cat adjusted to travel? I'm trying to do the van life routine & my kitty is freaked out. She just hides under the recliner. Any thoughts?

[@HomeARoam]

Cats can take a long time to adjust to change. Benny took a solid few weeks to get comfortable in the trailer, but then a few years to be comfortable enough to sit by the screen door and not be scared away by something moving outside, which he still is sometimes. There is a great resource called adventure cats that has lots of tips: www.adventurecats.org/backcountry-basics/3-essential-steps-make-your-cat-adventure-cat/
