Goodbye to the Slumber Queen

The end of an era has dawned upon us and it is certainly a bittersweet moment. The Slumber Queen has served me well, but alas, it's time to move on to a rig that will better suit my needs.

I live in a small house but I will miss the Slumber Queen. I'm almost 70 (Feb.) and this made me cry!

[@raysboatingandadventure1277]

I went through 5 campers in 3 years. Just upgraded every time. Now I'm in my dream camper. Let the next adventure begin. Happy trails!

[@NickandJulie]

After putting in the work, it’s kinda hard to let go. It’s definitely a worthwhile experience. But looking forward with what you get next!

[@xkru5hax988]

Glad to see you wanting to further the success of the channel and make the necessary changes to do so. I'm excited to see what you end up doing next. Truck camper, or an RV I'll continue to be here and support. Much love man!!

[@CoastalKite]

Dude, you do you. We are going to watch regardless. But I hope you're able to get a sweet and unique rig rather than another camper or a van.

[@audiobagvideo]

It's never easy to give up something that means a lot to you. However, when you know it's time to let something as special as the Slumber Queen go (as you do), then the decision seems like the right one for you. My wife and I watch your show because of you, not for what you drive or camp in. Change is natural. And we can't wait to see your next episode!

[@HeyKim0012]

For the first five minutes I was confused and thought he bought another Slumber Queen that looked similar to the previous one.

[@awediomusic2137]

I'm still confused lmao. He said "from the footage you just saw, I'm in the new camper." The footage shows his Slumber Queen? I'm gonna keep watching lol.

[@awediomusic2137]

Nevermind, got it

[@nomadhomad3685]

Flashbacks were just awkwardly place, but yeah I thought the same for a little.

[@WheresTex]

Same here! I rewound the video thinking WTF? It looks just like the old one! and he's starting over on renovation.....but then the lightbulb came on. 🤦‍♂️

[@lorid6544]

Hubby & I have loved watching the progress of the SQ! After we saw the video about the leaks & other problems, we thought it might be time. You have shared with us such beautiful places & gorgeous scenery! no worries, we will continue to watch whatever you decide your next adventure will be. We pulled out our tent, got some cots & other camping gear & have looked into doing more camping thanks to you & your channel. (We can't afford RV's!)

[@17363]

I know the feeling. I spent 5 years building a 2 seat airplane, when it was finished and signed off from the FAA I was too burned out to fly it. I flew it a couple times then sold it. No regrets.

[@owensg01]

Jonathan best of luck in your new adventure, dam I found this video so emotional, onwards and upwards. Can't wait to see what you get next & see your new adventures whatever that may be.

[@mikeandre9903]

Pretty interesting video look forward to seeing what you are going to choose as far as your next rig👍👍

[@francisngo]

I enjoyed watching the build and the adventures you had with the slumber queen. all good things come to an end at some point and excited to see the next chapter! new year new rig - hopefully a new reliable one where you can focus on the adventure and not the repairs!

[@Owimyr]

Damn, if I only had a truck, I would totally take the SQ off your hands. I've been wanting to get out of city life for a while and this would be epic.

[@jeannerountree952]

Maybe you could buy his truck too

[@clubcam869]

Great memories from the ole Slumber Queen! You have poured your blood, sweat and tears into it. It has taught you a lot about your abilities and ambitions. Good work Johnny!! Can't wait to see the next chapter. Hey, I think that you should do a compilation of ALL of your "Woo's"

[@tylerquint1891]

Loved all the videos with the Slumber Queen and am on the ride for whatever you find next! Happy to be here, looking forward to the future!

[@steveneugene339]

You the Slumber Queen and Tess been a great adventure . Looking forward to your next chapter in this Adventure going forward .

[@Ohiogirl419]

And it still ends with the WOOOOO. Long live the Slumber Queen...to whomever receives her. 👑👑👑

[@worldofworley]

I know the bittersweet feeling of selling a camper you’ve put so much into. Like yours, there was always something else to work on. It was tough letting it go, but then it actually felt like a relief. So many possibilities now! Have fun and keep trying other rigs 👍

[@xtrekkmpr2016]

Honestly, I was never really too crazy about that slumber queen. Enjoyed your videos a lot more when you were camping at your truck or subie. But having said that, don’t feel too bad. All the work and stuff you put into it helped you to learn what works and what doesn’t work for you when camping. I’ve spent months probably a year building out my rig and then realized it just wasn’t working and I ripped the whole thing out and started over again. Did that twice, lol!

[@timeforchange3786]

I love the Slumber Queen. You did an amazing job on it. I wouldn't say it will be an uphill battle from there, though. It may not be a coast downhill but you seem like you really have it going on. 😁

[@Setsuzo17]

I’ll miss you, Slumber Queen! You’ve had a wonderful journey with Johnny! Onward and upward to you both! Much love!

[@1949johntiger]

" WOOoooo...😁" Best of luck with your New/Next Rig . . .🤗😁😃, Keep On Keeping-On; - Rolling, -Rolling, -Rolling👍...

[@jeffgonzalez3872]

Even cars are hard to get rid of. Your human and normal for feeling the way you do. Even with the issues the SQ have you still made it better than it was. Now go get a fair price for her…. 👍

[@Lagomtravels]

Beautiful video, I think we all look forward to what comes next for you. Nothing in life good or bad lasts forever and I’m glad you got what you needed out of the slumber queen.

[@Troy_KC-2-PH]

Chilaquiles! empezando con ajo, chiles y cebolla ... good! yummy!

[@lauravictorious4670]

I emailed you about the Slumber Queen from the Craigslist ad but never heard back. Sounds like you're now keeping the truck, but the ad was for both.

[@I2agingBull]

If I could get it shipped and stored in the U.K. I’d have her in a heartbeat beard. Love the videos man. Keep up the awesome videos

[@jeannerountree952]

We sold our camper once our children had grown into adults. Our children had used it a few times to go to some concerts and I had always thought perhaps they could take over the payments but there had been too many years between using it and not using it. I always loved camping and I love watching your channel because of you. You make your channel interesting with the adventures that you do. The slumber queen was a part of you and your next adventures will be too. Keep coming with the cooking adventures.

[@cynthiaw141]

I will miss the adventure of the slumber Queen hope she going to a new owner that will take care of the Slumber Queen 👋🏾. Now looking forward to your new rig and all new adventure.😊

[@anthonysinclair5721]

Goodbye Slumber Queen! 😢

[@brianmcintyre8940]

I'm surprised your camper lasted as long as it did. Back then they weren't built to last. Lightest materials to keep weight down

[@JDOff-Course]

Its been a great journey watching you do in the time and work on the SC. Excited to see what’s next for you!

[@grayeagleswolves]

Hey Jonathan while I'm saddened to see the slumber queen go I do know as you do and everyone else too that small things tend to pile up but its better tho upgrade while you can and fit the 1 ton crew cab truck to a full size truck camper with your own bathroom

[@YNOTRC]

For your truck the hiatus hard side pop up camper is the best thing i have seen and I'm looking into them forbmy full size. But if i still had my Tacoma definitely hiatus

[@Steve-ec6ed]

I found your channel because of the slumber queen so Im sad to see her go. I REALLY hope that you get something else cool.

[@donleigh8715]

Awesome and like things outdoors certainly Jonathan you have proved that watching your videos shalom.

[@veeemit9719]

I really enjoyed the many epic adventures you had out in the slumber queen, in your truck, etc. and look forward to seeing your future content.

[@alfie1002]

Fuck yeah Jonny boy! Get after it, fresh slate! I'm all for it. Good luck bud!

[@derrickfisher6150]

i need your camper in SA i am 62 jrs old and are struggling with accommodation and watched every video of yours. sorry for the grammar

[@kitaoden703]

What a great life experience and the growth you have accomplished ❤️ moving forward

[@darrylk808]

It's been that long since the SQ? I need to get a life! 🤣 Get a truck topper/camper shell for the Tundra.

[@lungyuyuan7753]

Dude your gonna make me cry and I don’t cry to often good bye slumber queen

[@tonyzavatto3235]

Maybe consider a single axle trailer camper?🤷🏽‍♂️

[@Kang729]

I'll trade you 4 Walmart pies for the slumber queen

[@jannetteortiz5508]

I lived in a small house and it made me sad when I left. I'm glad I did though. I needed more space, better location and i like my neighbors better too.

[@gumamell]

🤣 after saying no Burger!, you were at In-N-Out. That's funny!.

[@antlerjones9772]

Thanks Jonathan. Can’t wait to see where your next adventures take you. And…. In-N-Out rules! (Dually noted though don’t eat around stinky cows.)

[@MarshandMellow83]

Too Bad I don't live there, I'd Buy your Slumber Queen...Bummer. Be Well 💙

[@TheModernGamerShow]

Alll the best mate! It's been fun. More cooking vids I hope!

[@janisganey3954]

You’re not being corny or cheesy! I’ve enjoyed your vids in the Slumber Queen! Your adventures this past year have given you the confidence to move on to something new! 👵

[@maxineoliver7404]

I know that there will be great memories and adventures with the next new rig as you guys have had with the Slumber Queen! You've learned so much and have gained experience as well! I know that the next one will be awesome! Tessa nailed that "Whooo" once more-Love it!!☕☕

[@Jordanip21]

The SQ doesn't define you as a creator, just a reliable vessel to help create content. Real subscribers will be here no matter what you are doing. Live your life and don't let internet comments control your life. Have seen too many content creators fall into that slump. Goodbye SQ

[@BigBrownie96]

get a bread truck and build it out! lol something like that, fedex truck or a mini bus, that would make a great series

[@richardfiedler2201]

Obviously you made some money with the KZbin videos. Buy a new one the new ones are unbelievable.

[@Geekorama7]

Brooo!!! This made me sad and I’ve watch you grow from this experience and honestly you made me go out and buy a camper which I’m slowly starting to remodel it myself which is bittersweet since at one hand you are selling it and another hand I just got one. I was honestly waiting to finish this project to take it to Oregon and actually invite you on a camping trip as well but who knows maybe in the future when you get a new one we can link together and have a grand adventure! God bless you and good luck on your future endeavors!

[@rolandpajares5920]

/salute to the Slumber Queen! Looking forward to your next project!

[@Dimbochan]

Wow you have many admiring viewers and I am one of them, thanks for these memories and experiences, your personality is positive, inspiring and uplifting.

[@J.AlvarezMelburn]

The slumber queen introduced me to your channel. It was great watching the whole process. It must have been hard to let go, so long slumber queen. Still a fan of the channel, and looking forward to your next chapter.

[@bobbyurbina4488]

the whole fun was that it was the slumber queen tho...............lame

[@X31-k9b]

Really enjoyed the adventures of the slumber queen, really interested in what your going to do next. Being you have that nice size pickup that leaves you open for literally most outdoor adventure rigs,if that's the way you want to go. Good luck in the future.

[@marktaylor9975]

Man, I wasn’t crazy about it at first. But the SQ is dope. Hope the channel and you go up from here. Please notify of final disposition. Good luck eh!

[@palmtreeguy4706]

Camper van. Stealth. Minimalist. Can be used as a daily driver.

[@newera6878]

If you haven't sold it I am interested in it I live in Northern California

[@SpknTC13]

Nooooo! Ok I’m back to edit more… I’m so bummed to see this. I came to your channel because of the truck camper and then your personality kept me here. I’m keeping my fingers crossed your next rig is another TC since van life channels are a dime a dozen. Can’t help it, I have a truck camper too. Sigh! I’m starting to wonder if my YT days have ran their course. I hope not but only time will tell. 😕

[@EternalLove.1111]

The ceramic mug made it, it was quite enjoyable watching the reno

[@sandrasandoval3862]

Can't wait to see your new project coming soon ( I hope ) 🙂🙏❤

[@karldammann]

Wish we could have had some more adventures out of the slumber queen.

[@candyhearts3581]

Have you tried putting it on Facebook marketplace

[@cheriehigbee7349]

I have enjoyed all the adventures in the Slumber Queen but I can't wait to see what's next. Onward and upward.

[@robinp9047]

I literally thought where’s Tessa’s goodbye? Then you added it at the end! Thank you for sharing this journey with all of us. ❤️

[@sosaboii5946]

Lol she hates camping in that thing can’t you tell from 80% of the time she camps in it

[@wdgpcfr]

Another KZbinr getting away from what made the channel. Subscribers will drop.

[@Slasher4446-q3e]

Truth! Blows my mind when you tubers think they are getting views because of themselves and who they are and not the specific type of content they are producing. But hey that’s just me I am sure lots of people are watching his videos because they enjoy his personality.

[@gailhitson6722]

I love your truck camper.... it's a dream!

[@waynebowser8930]

Knew it would happen when he moved in to an apartment with girlfriend.

[@intheworkscamp-inrv1147]

It is normal because as we go through life, we progress naturally. I owned an RV trailer camper, and I am currently owning truck RV camper. I want to own an RV Class C motorhome/Class B+ van next, but it is too expensive right now even a used one.

[@cellyblank9919]

The Slumber Queen will live on but she will surely be missed. 😊😪

[@07loader]

Been some great content in the slumber queen. Looking forward to see what rig you are going to for next. Keep up the great content.

[@Davids-cc9sn]

Hard to tell from photos but looks like savable. You need a lot of insulation for what you're doing. Fill the walls, floor and ceiling with foam. Probably have to replace some paneling if not all. Definitely open windows and vents when you cook. Also use moisture wicks to absorb moisture inside. (The cubes people put in basements to keep dry) You gotta be creative about not bringing too much moisture inside. Any small space that you try to heat is going to have a condensation problem. Perhaps not do the gourmet cooking inside, just cold food or warm and eat. I know you like it and it's big part of your videos. And you do a great job cooking. But confined spaces always have problems with moisture. Desert camping might be better.

[@deanodoc1257]

Good call... Good luck on the next Adventure!

[@TinyIslandMaine]

Good job on a nice tribute. Here’s to new adventures.

[@blackflagnation]

Look at the bright side - when you bought the Slumber Queen, it had seen its better days and probably hadn't been on the road in years. You gave it a second life with all the work you put into it. Now it will most likely have new adventures.

[@davisparker7120]

Beautiful way to say goodbye! Can't wait to see what's next.

[@adrianbanks4487]

Message mav and say you want to buy the beetle camper

[@masonstruckadventure9368]

Love the content. Can't wait to see the new adventure rig! Gracias

[@edyoung6573]

It's been a fun journey Jonathan, thank you for taking me/us along! On to bigger and better things, it's just time to move on. Hope it gets a good home.

[@88meemaw88]

Awww, I’m feeling a little sad to say goodbye to the SQ. That last wooooo was in the doorway got me. Good luck selling the ole girl. 👍👍👍

[@Mechanic83]

How much are you selling it for ?

[@shmack-dab-in-da-middle3960]

Nice do the yentchie!!!.. yeah I'm selling my project truck camper to it's a big heavy one I'm just going to get a new cargo trailer and a new truck camper and call it good do it Dave do it!!!!!!!!

[@ezequielgarcia2274]

There's an in and out in keizer Oregon man.

[@CollinW93]

Excited to see what’s next! Love your videos Jonathan. Keep up the great work and take care! :)

[@youdontneedtoknow9051]

Very sad Love The slumber Queen

[@Phenom157]

Jonathan, you and your SQ have been on some great adventures. Moving on and seeing where your next rig will take you and us is exciting

[@JonnyDIY]

Love the SQ but look forward to ur next build. Dont be bogged down, ur young, go get into trouble abd have fun. PS- if you at least fix the source of the water intrusion you'll be able to get rid of that thing way faster. May just need some rv sealant or heck even a can of flex seal 👍

[@alant.541]

Awesome, final sunrise with the Slumber Queen. Looking forward to your future adventures. 🤙

[@RUBENSIFONTEZ]

Long live the slumber queen 👑

[@RippSnortin]

I've car camped, had a small trailer, 2 Toyota motorhomes, and 2 vans. Have a van now and in my opinion vans are the way to go. A high top would be the ultimate.

[@_gatsby]

did he just rip apart the truck camper just to sell it with no fridge, no window, etc.. i am SO CONFUSED!!!... why not just sell it.. why rip it apart and then sell it all ripped apart?

[@illestnwk]

Looks like that’s when he first got it and did renovations to it

[@_gatsby]

@@illestnwk that's what i was thinking.. but why take the window out to sell it? he took the fridge out to sell it too? ... i'm just wondering now was the editing out of order or something,, it was very confusing, was he buying it or selling it?

[@sonnycalzone7784]

Smells no worse then low tide in new england 😂

[@youdontneedtoknow9051]

I don't even want to watch this episode

[@craigramos6441]

Lmk on your next video. Yiur kool

[@carlaifera5254]

.... Love to watch people getting their'next' rig .... all the best to you, my friend!
