[@tashamitchell2148FU]

At this point RV living is just a dream . But I got my park pass and stop by Ink state park in Texas whenever I get the chance. Snow cones 😋and water 💧 👌 walking the trails. Ijust yesterday we went to Austin and enjoyed 2 of there parks. One big one small. It was fun..

[@ashleyfojutowski5551]

[@ChahtaAnumpa]

The whole sitting outside being an okay assumption to go talk with those people is really a southern thing. At least from what I gather living in the south then moving to the west coast and then the mid west. I’ve been all over the USA and yea some small towns that aren’t “southern” do this too but it’s really a southern thing. When a neighbor is relaxing on their porch you go say hi and be friendly. It’s southern hospitality is what it is. Idc what anyone says that’s what I’ve picked up on over the years.

[@lifererouted]

Good to know, thank you!

[@pbr35586]

That comes from the southern summers. Every body after work sat on the porch after work. Because in those days no one had air conditioning. So you couldn't hide and had to say "Hello", wither you wanted to or not. So much for Southern Hospitality, but I've here for 52 years.

[@debbiemabrey9240]

When kids leave the nest, 3 to 4 years, hubby and I are gonna downsize buy an RV and hit the road. So my new hobby is researching all the stuff r/t RVing full time.

[@lifererouted]

Sounds awesome, Debbie!

You had me at “community bacon”!!

[@lifererouted]

😂😂😂

[@doggonenomads]

Thank you, I am putting my house/shop up for sale next week and probably going to buy a toy hauler. I have six rescues so I am doing a ton of research on having dogs while RV'ing. Everything has to revolve around my dog family;) Thanks for the information!

[@lifererouted]

Awe I love that! Khali is a rescue. Sometimes I want to buy a few more dogs and upgrade! 🤣

[@matthewmortiere4620]

Yes do your research...alot of campgrounds don't allow more than 2 dogs per RV

[@Chellees]

We just returned from our very first camping trip! We took the plunge with our first trip and went 4 hours away to Myrtle Beach State Park! All the firsts were scary- the first pull and for 4 hours, the first time stopping at a rest stop, the first time getting gas, the first time pulling into the camp ground, trying to back in the first time, hooking up electricity and making sure the ac worked, the first time hooking up water, first time trying to turn on the fridge, etc…… You are so right, people at camp grounds are so friendly! The moment we pulled up we must have looked green as grass at this whole camping thing! We had 2 gentlemen immediately come and help us back in, get unhooked from our truck and even took a look at our fridge! We had The Best Time!! And can’t wait for our next trip!! ❤️😊

[@lifererouted]

Awesome! We haven't been to the state park there. Is it nice? You guys are doing it! After the first couple of trips, it'll all become the "new norm" 😂 that's awesome! Welcome to the community!

[@donhateschz]

Full timer here, started almost a year ago. We bought the Thousand Trails membership, so we try to stay there as much as possible to save money. We did stay at Ft Wilderness in January, it is pricey, beautiful campground, places like this we consider to be a "vacation" spot while out on the road so the added cost is justified. My issue with campgrounds is that a lot of them charge $50+ a night, but since you are staying in your own rig why does it cost that much basically for just having utilities? We might try some local/state parks this summer and maybe some Harvest Host sites. Thousand Trails isn't everywhere.

[@lifererouted]

That's awesome! We've heard a lot about Thousand Trails but never used it ourselves. Campgrounds can definitely get expensive. Happy trails!

[@matty6848]

Yes considering your just rent a plot of small land with water and electric supply does $50 seem excessive per night. Maybe 25/30 a night but $50? But you get that holiday and community feel you don’t get anywhere else, plus the added security you don’t get if your boom docking.

[@Seashellsbytheseashore21]

Dry camping where I live is anywhere from $30 to $85 (occasionally $10) and TT is usually around $60.

[@SuperSushidog]

We've actually had an Amazon delivery to GPS coordinates when we were boondocking on top of a mountain right off of a gravel road. Gotta love Amazon prime when you're a FTer. The most we've ever paid for a campground is $500 a month, (in NC) utilities included. We never pay the daily rate. BTW if you are ever visiting New Orleans again (our hometown) we recommend staying at the nearby state parks as they are not only much cheaper but are a much more enjoyable wilderness experience. I particularly recommend 2 state parks on the safer, more upscale Northshore, Fontainebleau in Mandeville and Fairview-Riverside State Park in Madisonville, both right across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway to New Orleans. Our favorite way of living is also boondocking. We boondocked 8 months straight last year and another 2 months moochdocking with friends. We boondocked for a month last year just outside of Yellowstone for free. Our motorhome is set-up for living off grid which makes all the difference between "roughing it" and living with all the comforts of home, like we do. Hope to see you down the road one day. BTW, for us fellow campers are welcome anytime.

[@Tourettes0]

to be honest, it is not my favorite when people come over to talk, but i understand them wanting to make conversation. i agree with the eye contact thing. it is really easy to read body language and not just wander up on someone unwanted.

[@creditguy4922]

Love it. Shake down trip. While sitting outside and it goes beyond a wave then it’s pull up a chair time.

[@lifererouted]

Ha I love that! That's a good way to gauge it, if either of you pursue more than a wave you're wanting to socialize!

[@linebeckrobbins6466]

I’m Really happy to hear about that sense of community- I’m planning on living in an rv at campgrounds when I finally move out of my parents place, but something I’ve admittedly been worried about is how solitary it may be- I’m used to hearing noise and stuff as I wind down for bed, and find a lot of comfort in being able to just be around other people.

[@lifererouted]

You'll find campground communities to normally be very friendly and helpful!

[@reedandjulie1013]

COE campgrounds have been some of our favorites. As for socializing in a campground, smile, wave say hello from the road but don't go into the campsite until invited :). Don't knock on a strangers door unless their camper is on fire LOL. We watch and like all your videos. Our home base is in west central Indiana, so we recognize some of the roads you travel.

[@lifererouted]

I honestly always forget about COW campgrounds! If I remember right, our National Park pass covers the fees with those, could be wrong. Agreed with the knocking on doors! 🤣 Hello, fellow Hoosiers!

[@hammer48ful]

Always do a shake down in the spring close to home. Also have a bug out list to minimize forgotten things and to make sure things are shut down at home.

[@bigman-jm5mf]

Great tip on the shake down trip. Something I think most people and KZbinrs never mention.

[@lifererouted]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mikemanjo2458]

Wow! Me, too, Steph (water and electric) glamping in a more secluded place. We have found COE parks to be some of our favorite spots. Hope you and Mike both have a great week! Love from SC, Jane ❤️ 🙏

[@lifererouted]

Yes! That's probably my favorite way to camp - something about being in the middle of nowhere but still having some basic amenities is just perfect to me 🥰 thank you so much Jane, I hope you have a great week too!

[@aKEPsoul]

Y'all seem very wholesome! Thanks for the tips! Hoping to start this full time journey in April. Just passed my probation period for my remote job and have tested out the Starlink connectivity. It's just my dog and me. Looking forward to it.

[@gregmoore3420]

My issue with private full-hookup campgrounds is that a lot of the sites are so close together. Although I am no a full-timer, my wife and I RV about 3 weekends a month. We travel to get away from it all, not to become sardines in a row of RV's. Our older 26 foot motorhome holds 75 gallons of gas, 70 gallons of fresh water, 60 gallons grey, 25 gallons black, and has 6 house batteries. Having those capacities give us more options for longer boondocking. Not only do we find boondocking cheaper, we also find that the campsites have more room and privacy. Thank you for the wonderful video. Happy RVing.

[@lifererouted]

The can be very close together sometimes. Sounds like a great setup, Greg!

[@judyrobinson9556]

Hello, first time watching your videos. You both have a very friendly nature & easy to watch. I'm a 30 year camper. I started out tent camping for several years, then bought a popup & now have a teardrop camper. My preference is state parks, where I camp exclusively. I like the acreage as compared to private campgrounds. I keep a list of favorite, private campsites in these parks & I reserve several months out, so I get my favorite sites. Not sure what the protocol is for how to show you're open to visitors. I've had total strangers pop over to my campsite, which is okay, provided they know when to leave. My sign that I hang at the beginning of the campsite driveway says, "Get Lost". Now this is not meant to be derogatory, as it has a picture of the woods on it. The true meaning of the sign is to get lost in the beauty of the woods. However, the hint is there ;) .

[@lifererouted]

Thank you! That's smart to keep a list of your favorite sites in the campgrounds! Haha love the Get Lost sign 😆

[@weighit]

We fulltime traveled 8 years before buying another home and out of those 8 years never boondocked or moochdocked. Always in rv parks, staying from a day or so to a month. We said we are not campers but living a new life styl;e that was goingto be fun. You both are fun to watch and enjoy your videos.

[@lifererouted]

Oh wow, 8 years full-time is awesome! I bet you had some cool experiences 😊 thank you so much!

[@jenzfreedomfight6574]

[@sbayles]

My nephew and his wife are full-time and they keep their “homebase” campground paid by the month. They come and go, but always have a place when they are back in town. They feel it is cheaper that way. Also, they've built a relationship with the owners so when there was a recent health emergency that kept one of them in the hospital for an extended period the owners reduced the rate and watched over their trailer for them.

[@lifererouted]

That's a great idea! It's nice to have a home base

[@tammy3458]

You guys remind me of Ben and Erin Napier of HGTV's Hometown. Stephanie, you have the same clean look, great smile, and genuineness of Erin. Mike, while nowhere near as big as Ben, you have the same easy-to-listen-to style and make good assessments of your surroundings. Keep up the good work. As a senior, I still have questions about healthcare access, paying taxes, and sending/receiving mail and paying bills. I assume all that is done online.

[@lifererouted]

Awe thank you so much! ❤❤❤ that's a first for us, I don't think anyone has referenced that show 😆 Yes, almost everything is done online. Maybe we'll have to cover all that in a video!

[@moore_2_explore]

Community yes!! Having mail or packages delivered, a def pro ( but we’ve experienced some that don’t allow for that🧐) but boondocking on BLM or National Forest lands probably our favorite closely followed by mooch docking and BW & HH. Good and honest appraisal and I’m sure it’s gonna help folks😉

[@lifererouted]

Absolutely! We have found a few that haven't allowed mail as well which stinks. That's pretty much the exact order we'd rank our favorite stays! Thank you so much friends ❤

We don’t currently have an RV but we’ve been thinking about one in the next year or so (really like the Grand Design 2500RL and 2600 BH) and I was just thinking about this topic of what it’s like at a campground. As someone who can be social at times…I also enjoy being an introvert. It’s not so much that I don’t want to be around others but that doesn’t mean I want to engage with people all the time. 😀 BTW, we live in North Ga and as someone who’s spent a lot of time riding my motorcycle in these mountains, I love seeing other people experience the area. Enjoyed the Helen/Tallulah Falls video.

[@lifererouted]

Awesome! Love both those layouts. We looked at the 2500RL when we bought ours. It's a good mix really, just depends on your social limits 😂 Thank you so much! We love Georgia!

Keeping the map's from each park may be hard but I notice while enjoying Inks lake state park in Texas what camp spots I like the best.

Hey you two, great video. My wife and I are about to travel nurses work also. This is my first video of yours that I've watched. liked and subbed. I can tell I'll enjoy your videos. I hope your have allot of travel nurses related videos. Also, I live by a KOA. this is not a popular area. if I told you where I was you may still not know where lol, but this KOA is booking for $100 a night! We're not even looking for $50 a night. Very expensive! We're looking at a few parks where were traveling to that offer anywhere from $300 to $750 a month, which is a great rate in our books. My wife and I are excited to sell the house and hit the road! I do have a question though, in the event your two stop traveling, have you been to enough places to know where you'd like to settle down at? If so, how do you know it's the place to live? Thank you, I'm looking forward to more videos!

[@lifererouted]

Thank you so much! And love to hear from fellow nurses, thank you for all you do ❤ You have a good point about how expensive they can be! That's a great question - we originally started traveling thinking we'd be on the road for about 2 years then find a place to settle down. 6 years later and we're still enjoying it so much we haven't picked a spot yet! 😆

Hi new sub here and totally new to the RV world. Picked up my Ozark last weekend and haven’t had a chance to take it out yet. This is probably a dumb question. What do you do if you are just stopping somewhere for the night, do you unhook your tow car? Can I just leave it hooked up and set my stabilizers down? That’s how new I am!!

[@lifererouted]

Welcome! Not a dumb question at all! It really varies, but I love leaving the truck hooked up, often without even putting the stabilizers down. Lots of times we're too tired or there's just not really a good reason to unhook, and we're ready to roll the next morning! Happy travels, Red!

Thank you guys for this- awesome video! Been considering getting an RV and doing it full time since I work full remote. Especially with how apartment rent has skyrocketed. For a new truck and camper (about 38-40k each) the monthly notes are still under 1k a month- much cheaper than 1400-1600 apartment rent here in Texas. I know it comes with its own challenges and hurdles but I’d rather be out exploring the country than inside. To each their own tho! Thank you guys for this awesome video - Yal are down to earth and so positive!

What is mooch docking?

[@lifererouted]

Great question! We talked some about it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXucg2WLja10frs It's basically just staying in someone's driveway or yard!

Hello

[@lifererouted]

👋

[@gtimmiller]

Great content! Always enjoy it. I am a penny pinching loner that likes full hook ups! #thestruggle Right now we are at a place y’all may know since it’s in Indiana….Scales Lake Park in Boonville. Nice county owned park with great trails and a petting zoo! Cheap…about $15 per night with full hookup. Check it out. Keep up the great work. 😀

[@lifererouted]

Thank you so much! We hear you on #thestruggle , we always look for the same thing but it's hard to find! We haven't heard of that one, adding it to our Indiana list now, thank you!

I wish Indiana, or surrounding states had blm land like out west. That’s my dream one day, make it out west with the camper and camp in the desert! Lol

[@lifererouted]

We absolutely agree with you! We have to alter our plans pretty significantly when we move from the west to the east because there are so many fewer places to boondock! You'll make it out west - we can't wait to hear about it when you do!!

I PAY$9 a night for RV HOOK UPS

[@davidr9876]

I don't get RV life. You pay a bunch of money for an RV only to live in what is very much like a parking lot.

[@lifererouted]

It's not for everyone! There are so many other ways to stay other than campgrounds though.

[@pesto12601]

campgrounds is the ONE reason I wouldn' want to live in an RV... heck, maybe even vacation in one. All those people, kids, dogs... I want to get away from folks..!

[@lifererouted]

We definitely prefer boondocking in the middle of nowhere over campgrounds!
