Hello, new subscriber here! ✌😎👍

[@terrymathis4213]

Hi! You too.

[@hannaha4305]

It's kinda a pain to see how much trouble you guys have had with that brand new very expensive RV, hope it's smooth sailing for quite a while now.

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Hey there! Ask many RVers and they’ve all been through it. We do hope it smooths out at some point. We are still enjoying the journey! Thank you for watching. We appreciate that!

[@Leftoutknitter]

I have had new RVs, old RV's and travel trailers. they all break. sometimes it feels personal. it's not. :( :). it develops flexibility

[@azcatlover]

I just love you guys! Sorry you have had rv issues but when you are full time it is to be expected. Thank you for bringing joy to those of us who live vicariously though you!

[@craftingwithcharm7665]

I smashed that like button for Brady & Bailey! You’re such a good cat parent’s!

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Thank you! We all appreciate that and thanks for watching!

[@lisamoore107]

For all the ups and downs you guys have had recently with your RV there is a silver lining(I think) that is all the nice people you have met, and the beautiful countryside

[@maryhight6030]

I'm only 10 minutes in and I love watching you guys. Makes this older woman excited. 🙏

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

We appreciate that Mary! ❤️🥰

[@Evelyn_McMillan]

Hi Tanya & Dave, you two are true troopers when it comes to the issues with RV living. I like the way that you do not sugar coat the different types of issues that one might be presented with, as well as your patience in dealing with said problems. I am sure that it can be frustrating, especially when you have an agenda that you would like to adhere to. It takes a lot of work to do what you do, but you never fail to deliver on the interesting sites along the way. I pray that things get resolved soon! Keep those videos coming, and as always, take care and be safe!!🙏🙏

[@ngulamquan4622]

Living in a van with my beloved wife traveling around the world has been a dream of mine for a long time. You are my inspiration to try every day From Vietnam with love

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

That's a lovely idea. Thank you for joining us on these adventures and we hope you and your wife will be able to live out your dreams. 🙏🏾🙏🏻🥰

[@michelleellis8201]

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. You are such kind, genuine folks and your love and respect for each other is so nice to see. Safe travels to you and I look forward to your videos! ❤️

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Thank you so much Michelle, we really appreciate it!!

[@pamelalawyer7651]

Hope all goes well now. I don't think I've ever met people so upbeat! ❤

[@intuitiveinspiredart4366]

OMG your attitudes are so positive. LOVE IT! I think I might go quickly insane if I had so many issues to deal with. I guess the early Ekko owners are on the bleeding edge of technology. Hope Winnebago is taking care you two!

[@tinadudley5318]

Ohhh yes it looks much better lift up ohh my I luv it!!!! Brady and Bailey there some good cats and quite.

[@maryhight6030]

That was beautiful sharing the family owned business. 🇺🇸❤️

It was so great to know that this is a 4th generation owned business and we were able to share and introduce the the 3 generation of owners!

I like how yawl roll with the punches. Also, thanks for showing the ups and downs of this lifestyle. I’m hooked on these videos.

[@Roger30303030]

You’re both so easy-going. I love that I’m not that person but I appreciate watching you.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

Oh no. They just don't make things like they used to. I can't imagine the frustration of paying so much money for a new rig so you don't have to worry about things like this and THEN...something breaks. I'm so sorry, what a pain. That is life unfortunately. Stay positive like you always do.

[@tracyhull7936]

Life is like that isn,t it one thing after another but the way you approach it makes all the difference but people like you two know how to weather life,s storms luv ya

[@barbhawkinson659]

Beautiful scenery as you were driving back and forth. I loved the guy at the end. He was so happy to meet you 😊

[@telawsonartzy6880]

RV living is not easy. Most electronic devices are a pain is almost all too common. 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾 Really hopefully you get less and less problems with the RV. Thanks for sharing 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

It’s so true. We definitely feel by taking things one day at a time it helps us get through anything. We really enjoy RV Living and still very happy with Desert Snow! Thanks for watching. We really appreciate that.

[@annarodriguez6808]

You guys handle everything with such grace

[@tommythekid85]

Kinda cool to see the area where I live and work in a video. I get past Quigly’s all the time. Glad they were able to get your rig fixed up. I know folks come from all over to get lifts and 4WD installed in vans. Safe travels.

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Thanks Tommy! We had a great time in Pennsylvania and were very happy with the team from Quigley! It’s quite an operation. Do you RV as well?

[@tommythekid85]

@@LetsTurnItUpWorld yes, I do RV but not fulltime. I looked at the Ekko but ultimately decided on a Coachman Crosstrek 20XG. I wanted the garage area to store my 2 bicycles. The Ekko storage area wasn’t quite big enough for them. If you’re interested you can see some of my adventures at Tommy’s Tiny Trailers, Trails, & Tales.

[@lesterpetters7131]

I really enjoy your podcasts. The way you work together, going into small towns, visiting the shops. Very interesting.

[@patriciaching100]

Really enjoyed watching.. the reality of what can happen Lets Turn It Up World RV Life. Though at 79 I will never experience RV Life.. I have through your journey and enjoyed every minute of it.TY

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Thank you Patricia! We are thrilled to be sharing these adventures with you. So glad you enjoy the video! If you could go anywhere in an RV right now, where would you go and why?

[@patriciaching100]

@@LetsTurnItUpWorld Actually I am happy going where ever you go. I really enjoy the chemistry you both bring into my world. Who would have thought watching getting a inverter would be heart catching. My life is stationary and identifying the crisis of having something break in the video created a galaxy movement like if my world would collapse I would call a taxi. TY.

[@angelacraw2907]

Wow that was full on. Well done for handling all those problems so well.

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Thank you. One day at a time! That how we get through it. Still having the best time in Desert Snow!

[@Jan-yd9sm]

I just love your vibe and energy!! I watch your channel all the time the both of you are always up beat even in times when you have repairs to complete. Keep this same energy please!!

[@awayteamonearth4322]

I enjoyed the different aspects of the video and your journey... making me more comfortable with the idea of RVing. Thanks.

[@two_boomers_and_a_dog]

Quigley Motors completed a 4x4 conversion for me in the 1990's. They were great to work with and even though it was a long time ago I can't say enough good things about them. Love watching your journey and keep up the great work 😁

[@melissajensen3166]

It is frustrating RV living. I was lucky, we had a vehicle we towed and my husband was a mechanic/ maintenance engineer. Now you can just google repairs on KZbin! Glad everything is back to normal. The kitty’s were real troopers.

[@kellydeal72]

Great videos! So much fun and informative to watch! 🙂🙂🙂

[@64kaimuki]

We have had many side trips including waiting for parts to come to the shop. Just part of RV life. Most places have been kind at letting us stay and plug in. Our dogs have been fine with the changes. 4 days was the longest stay but we did manage to get family to bring us home to wait.

[@Fawndoe11]

Amazing!!! I am so happy for you guys. We have two kitties too. Cuddles & Patches. 🐱🐈 Give Brady and Bailey snuggle from us. 🙂😃👌👍❤

[@robinfoulke2787]

Haven't heard to many good things about newer RV's. Kinda of sad because I want to upgrade ours. Glad it all worked out for you all.

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Yeah! We still do enjoy our EKKO names Desert Snow! Definitely frustrating at time but we are glad it all worked out as well!

[@angelachristle2116]

💜 wow the cats have been amazing! That’s a lot of back-and-forth and being uncomfortable out of their space. But of course they’re with the both of you so there’s sense of security still surrounds them. Another great video. I really enjoy Hershey. It’s fun to have you guys sharing your adventures with us and bringing us to the different towns as well it’s been kind of fun to revisit and brings back memories. Just thinking about y’all being there.

[@Colette-x6h]

Lifting your rig is a Great Idea especially for Boondocking! Worth every penny I have a RW GeoPro17 so I get it! 🧡

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

It really is!

[@isaiaholiver5413]

I feel as tho you’ve had more issues with this particular type of RV than most people. Definitely will not be getting an Echo. Hope y’all get it all figured out 🤞🏾

[@lindagolden9892]

Just say’n…here around the Ocala, FL area our local General RV has had quite a bit of negative reviews not only regarding service but also to include sales. Hopefully y’all have better results as I humbly understand the overall inconvenience when our rv is a full time home base. I much prefer the mobile repair services but some things when under warranty require the mothership hub. 🚌👨🏻‍🔧

Brand new Jayco MH, 700 miles in and rear end blew on Thruway, an absolute nightmare. First of many major problems all down hill from then on. Sadly broke me from wanting to be a “Happy Camper” ever again.

[@bevstern8561]

In the last 3 years we have replaced our inverter twice.

[@elonawilliams4809]

Very respectfully..this should not be happening with such a new RV. I'm concerned that you all could be in freezing weather and will need your heater to work. If I could respectfully suggest if you have not already arranged it please assert going to the RV dealership and having them run a full guaranteed diagnostic.🙏♥️

Well hopefully there paying for your Air BandB being that don't have a replacement while yours are being repaired

I stopped by Quigley last year for a tour. Looked at the 4wd set up for the E450’s. We’re getting our camper done either by them or U joint in NC. They both have great products. Love the lift on the Ecko. We saw the debut at the Tampa show. I loved it, my wife hated it 😕 so that means I don’t like it now 😂😂. I was hoping Winnebago was going forward with the other Ekko on the E series van but they scraped it 😢. Glad the inverter got fixed 👍🏼

[@LetsTurnItUpWorld]

Thanks! We are very happy with the Quigley lift so far. We can understand why you don’t like the EKKO now lol! Maybe Winnebago will build an EKKO on the E series at some point!

[@katherinebuterbaugh8470]

@@LetsTurnItUpWorld Hersey Park is great. Was there when the rides were closed too but the tour of the candy factory was really cool. Me and my sister went to New Castle to visit our brother and kids and we had a great time there. Was there for a 38 Special Concert to with some friends and it was fantastic would go back there and to see the Amish again. There is a Amish store and Restaurant about a half hour from me and the food was really good. There are Amish farms around here too. Well probably tired of hearing from me today so safe travels and I am glad you got your camper fixed too. Take care and love and Prayers always.
