HOW WE PACK UP ON A TRAVEL DAY// Officially ON THE ROAD!! // Crooked River Ranch, OR

[@Dina-Dee119ps59]

Hello Sweet Family!❤ This was SUPER informative and interesting! I ENJOYED learning how you guys pack it up! I LOVE how you know exactly how everything works…Donnie the good teacher!👍. I am sure he has taught the kids a lot too! It’s all so beautiful! Thank you for showing US your pack up and on the road ADVENTURES!🥳👍

[@katies5658]

You and Donnie are like a well oiled travelling machine! Thank you for showing us a behind the scenes steps to travelling.

[@jesseferguson3205]

I love the accountability and responsibility that comes mandatory with living tiny. You get lost in all the to-do's sometimes of a bigger home and put things off, whereas in a tiny home, you don't really have a choice! Everyone has to put in work and carry responsibility.

[@DreamingonaDime]

Everyone has dreams, yall are just making yours come true. What an inspiration 💕

[@samanthabrulotte]

Catching up on Videos! 🤩 Girrrrrl, this setup is an elite dream! I love! And you mentioned that the snap, crackle, and pops make you nervous as I was thinking “that would make me anxious!” 🤣🤣 Such a beautiful home! 💗💗

[@meeshe4992]

Thanks for the Detroit fire update. It's great seeing everything getting rebuilt. My parents were at Detroit Lake when the fire happened. They were part of the trucks and campers that got evacuated. They were very lucky to get out and got some amazing videos when they were on the road. The fire was above them and on both sides of the road. I remember the panic I was in when I heard about the fire knowing they were there so I can't imagine what they were going through. I've lived in Oregon my whole life and I'm still amazed at its beauty.

[@KristenKasper]

It was terrifying. We drove through right before the fires started. We had friends parents lose everything 😭 I’m so glad your parents made it out!

[@tanyadonovan1979]

12:51 ahhhh Cash looks sooooo CUTE and cozy in his kennel 😊❤ he’s ready to travel again hehe 😉

[@allisonbowie1872]

I still love your sausage bow pasta recipe.. I’m so happy you guys are back I start you off every day with my day ❤

[@pattimlloyd]

7:01 this music is familiar 🤔😉😊 This is a great video 😊 I enjoyed seeing everything that needs to be done on a travel day. I hope someday we will be able to get a travel trailer and go traveling around the country. It probably won’t happen anytime soon though because my husband has his own business plus we have cattle, chickens, and bees that we need to take care of 😏 I’ll just have to live vicariously through you and your travel videos 😁

[@KristenKasper]

Cattle, chickens and bees are amazing too! 🤩

[@sheramiedelozier3122]

And....there off!!😊 So so so very excited for yall & thank you Kristen for inviting us on your journey!! Loving the hair, im a cosmetologist so I was thinking to myself several vlogs ago what you will do next to your hair for maintenance while traveling & this was the perfect move. Now you just gotta learn to highlight your face framing money piece yourself to keep it fresh & that would be all the maintenance..easy peasy😊 Donnie such a pro & thanks for including your pack up day, enjoyed watching as always...Happy 4Th🇺🇲

[@MarisaAndChew]

Thank you for doing the fire update! It looks so much better with the houses and stuff back! I know it's a massive thing to recover from and the emotional stuff will never go away but it's still nice to see that people are rebuilding!

[@debbiejohnson1796]

I’ve never used my stove burners. I have an induction burner and my electric skillet. They work good for us. Also have electric grill we use.

[@KristenKasper]

Our stove works awesome! I do want to get an electric griddle though. Probably will this week!

[@sibyld927]

So darn fun! This is so cool that you have the ability to do this.

I found the pack up and getting slides in so fascinating. 🎉 Crooked River looks so fun!

[@Stacey67643]

You truly are "living the dream" I can't wait to see all the adventures!!!

[@krystalgardner1109]

That's alot of steps to pack up for travel day. We don't move much soap goes in the sink and diffuser goes in the top drawer. We leave everything else. If it moves or falls it find a new home. We moved really often though.

[@KristenKasper]

It seems like a lot but it only takes us about 30 minutes to move everything and get ready to pull out and takes less time to set up!

[@tanyadonovan1979]

[@cindythompson3960]

So exciting to head out on the road we don't live in our rig but my routine to pack up pretty is much the same we are packing up to go camping for 6 days safe travels pretty lady

[@Mrs.JReeder]

Do you ever cook in the campfire? When we go camping that's all we use with cast iron.

[@KristenKasper]

We don’t have a fire often especially in the PNW in the summer there’s a burn ban most of the time and we like it to feel more like home vs camping all of the time. But we have talked about doing the cast iron with the fire sometimes whenever we can!

[@hsepulveda1]

It is so fun watching your family life in the trailer... Looks like a beautiful place to stay there in Oregon.

I've been watching you since you lived in your farmhouse! I'm glad you're back on YT, you are inspirational. I would love a tips and tricks video for RV life! My husband and I along with our 2 kids and 3 dogs will be hitting the road next year full time. Do you have any tips for security? That's been my biggest worry. Thanks! ❤️

[@KristenKasper]

Staying in places that have good reviews and are in safe areas. Pew pews if you like those sort of things.

[@jackiesparham2482]

Loved this video, fun to come along with you all x

[@brookewebb4924]

Thank you for all the B roll footage. I love watching the driving parts. It’s so cool to just see all the different landscapes. I also think it’s awesome that you guys make RVing not just for “old people”. It seems like only old retired people would do what you do. Nowadays with so many things that can be done remote, it is doable for all ages. Girl, I was holding my breath when you moved the slides in. Glad you mentioned the same thing. I would be so nervous about the electrical stuff going out. 😬 seems like you bought a reliable trailer though. So fun following your adventures. Happy 4th of July ❤️🤍💙

So sad to hear about that town that caught on fire and they basically had to start over 🌸 so with being in an RV resort or staying at RV places do people pay up front for all the days of staying there or pay the day when leaving? 🌸

[@KristenKasper]

Everywhere is different. Either you pay the full amount when you book your stay or pay one night deposit when you book and then the remaining amount when you arrive.

Very interesting. We've all seen dealership videos but to watch a real family doing it with all their stuff placed where it has to be is fascinating. Your hair is lovely. Should be easy to take care of while traveling. So exciting to be on the road. So sad about the town burning. Oregon is such a beautiful place. Sky is amazing there. And I thought the view from the camp site was awesome!!

[@maddiearmstrong5762]

Whenever you guys make your way to New York State, I HIGHLY suggest going to the Adirondacks, specifically Lake George and Lake Placid!! Lake George has awesome RV parks and Lake Placid has some Winter Olympic sites! Also going over to the Finger Lakes and to Alexandria Bay. You can tour multiple old castles there, I suggest Boldt Castle and Singer Island. You can also do a boat tour and look at mansions on the lake

[@KristenKasper]

Thanks for the tips!

[@ScottWeiss-d2p]

Where do leave Jasper when you are on the road? Dorene Weiss

[@KristenKasper]

Jasper comes with us

[@jessicamills2037]

How did you figure out your travel plans? What states and cities to see?

[@KristenKasper]

We just know of places we’d like to visit again from last time we traveled full time and people we want to see etc. then we sort of make a route from there. Places kids want to see and a lot of national parks / outdoors things mostly!

[@pattonpursuit5761]

We have the in command system for our keystone too and it’s the worst!! Do you have issues with yours? The app works fine but the actual pad restarts constantly and we can barely use it.

Awe I appreciate you too 🥰 Loving these vlogs. I really love to see the country threw your videos. Quick question when you pull in the slide outs do you have to clean the tops of them for leaves and dirt or are they covered for just that reason? Thank you 🥰

[@KristenKasper]

Yes if we are somewhere that we have been under tall trees or something then Donnie will sweep them off before we pull them in

[@tiffanysailor8410]

@@KristenKasper Gotcha thanks 😊

[@crystalpowers5648]

How do you prevent bugs and debris that are on the top of the slides (when out) from getting in your trailer when you pull them in? 😊

[@MarisaAndChew]

GIIIIRRRL I love your Camper/RV but this has totally solidified for me that I do NOT want slides! LOL I already was looking for without slides simply bc I am in Canada and they would be much more difficult for 3 or 4 season use bc of insulation... but i had never thought about having to clean a billion percent thoroughly to avoid ruining the floors or causing any issues. Obviously I get it for your family but def for me and my dog and my plants no slides is the way to go!!! I am happy you did this video esp for those of us who are always browsing!!

[@KristenKasper]

Slides are amazing for space and not feeling tiny in there. It’s really not difficult especially if you’re not moving a ton. Just vacuum the floors before pulling in the slides ❤️

[@MarisaAndChew]

@@KristenKasper if it wasn't just me and the dog who is like 30lbs I would totally be all for the slides BC it really does have the extra room esp with your family and Cash being a big boy, but for just one person I think as long as I find a good layout it would be great to not have them! I loved the layout of the camper you guys had before the toy hauler. With the seperate parent sleep space and then the living area separate. Something like that would be perfect BC I really don't take up much space and the number one would be to have a real mattress BC I've got a bad back! Unfortunately you can't predict when your back is going to be in a rage so being just me all that extra work could be really challenging in a time crunch... Not just the vacuuming but the moving all the things so the slides can slide. Maybe one would be doable! I would have to try it before i bought to see... 😬 arthritis and degenerative disc disease and depending on yourself can be hard! Not complaining I'm legit happy you showed all the things that go into it before you're ever even hitched up! Haha this is a case of too big being an issue 😬😜

Financial wise, what do you think you spend on any given month to make the trailer run as you need it? I am curious to see how y'all run it in the Winter time depending on where you are on your adventures.

[@KristenKasper]

All depends on how often we move (fuel) how often we eat at restaurants, where we stay and what activities we do that cost money. The trailer itself doesn’t cost anything unless it needs upkeep or repair.

[@dawnkanouse745]

@@KristenKasper That makes total sense. I assume the electric, water, etc is all included in the cost of the RV Park space rent? Do you like to try and stick to some sort of budget, or just go with the flow and focus on the memories?
