Heading to Tennessee | HER Thoughts of Van Life | How We Plan Our Trips

Heading to Tennessee | HER Thoughts of Van Life | How We Plan Our Trips
(EPISODE 263)
ℹ️ About this episode:
On this episode of LivinRvision, we (Brian and Michelle) are making our way to Tennessee! Our first overnight stay is in Caruthersville, MO at Century Casino where we stay at the casino RV park. This place was a very nice RV park with FREE laundry and pool table as well as individual complete bathrooms with shower stalls!
Before we leave this casino RV park, Michelle talks a little about how the van life has been working out for HER while I (Brian) finish the laundry. Then we make our way to Tennessee, stop at a Buc-ees and see some good friends before making our way to the Frothy Monkey in Franklin, TN. Then we continue our journey to our final destination that we share next week, so be sure to catch that exciting episode!
We hope you enjoy!

Just love your videos. Look forward to them every Saturday. Stay safe out there.

[@joannleboeuf1739]

It was very refreshing to hear Michelle speak candidly about how living in a van really is to her. I am trying to get my husband to get a van to travel in. Now we have a class C Rv and we tow a Jeep. I want to be more nimble and be able to pull over whenever we see something of interest. We would be able to take shorter trips more often with a smaller rig. So fingers crossed that it will happen someday. The whole area around Franklin Tennessee is gorgeous. We were just in Tennessee and stopped at that very Buc Cee but I have to admit I was not as excited as Michelle. She was precious. But still NO PIE. Who else is starting to worry about Michelle?

[@LivinRVision]

😂🤓 🥧

[@lindahobbs2136]

Michelle was in rare form! Had me laughing the whole time. And yeah, something about Buccee's chaos that draws you in. :o).....about the Class B: I take more showers inside now since we've been disappointed so often in the lack of cleanliness at RV parks. We've yet to try a Truck Shower but your videos definitely have us intrigued. Thanks so much for sharin".

[@mikemanjo2458]

Love Bucee's!!! Great brisket!

[@garythovson2587]

Hate smoke in the casino also. South of Franklin is the Jack Daniels distillery, great tour. Say hi to Dolly. Hope to stop at Buc-ees next week on the way to Texas. 😎🥸🤓

[@LivinRVision]

Yes it is, we did a video of a tour at that distillery a couple years ago. Highly recommend

[@johnbradley6179]

Excellent video guys. Buc-ee’s! Buc-ee’s! You almost jumped clear out of your seat Brian. That’s one for the highlight reels. Thanks for sharing, stay safe, stay well.

[@joyceterry578]

I hope you took the time to go to the bank on the square. Old brass bars on the teller windows. Be sure to check it out next time. Safe travels!

[@Nancy-pl4lh]

" Who you spankin" OMG I couldn't stop laughing!! And Michelle's Buc-ees excitement. Lol you guys are so darn cute❤

[@mariaandino7663]

My hat off to you both for been able to live and work in such a small area. Two weeks would be my maximum. The only benefit on a B for me is the gas and both can drive it. We haven't had issues finding camping spots for 37 ft motorhome with tow. We use TT, harvest host, national parks, state parks, county parks, city parks, COE, cabelas,cracker barrel, truck stops and private campgrounds. We are never that far from the places we want to visit. We have been to all 48 and most Canadian provinces. Our situation is different as we are retired. Only negative is the gas so we are spending our children's inheritance one gallon at the time. 😂

[@tomandmissynortham9683]

Love Love Love Bucees!! You drove right by the place we stayed in October. We were at Anchor Down RV resort for a week.

[@Susan-ix8eg]

I just love Michelle! ❤. She is quiet and then all of a sudden…….. she has something to say! Her yelling Buc-ee’s made me giggle! 🤣🤣🤣

[@LivinRVision]

🧡🤓

[@agratefulsoul2816]

I was very interested to hear M's take on van life. An honest assessment. We have been full-time in our Super C for over 2 years. I know a van wouldn't work for us logistically. But, I also remember what you said when you fist left your class A, and expressed your anxiety over dealing with slides and other 'facts' of bigger RVs (parking, maneuvering, etc). For us, those are not drawbacks. So, again, an interesting look at why RVing is different things to different people. Enjoy. Be safe. God bless.

[@kathibucklin8198]

BUC-EE’S! BUC-EE’S! Almost spit out my coffee with Brians reaction! Great Video❤

[@QuiltGeek]

I have a Leisure Travel Van. I just couldn’t do the wet bath. It isn’t quite as nimble as your van as far as parking lots but easy to drive and not too hard to find parking. Thank you for another great video.

[@Grammapro]

I’m an LTV wannabe - they are so homey and look spacious inside. And then there’s the dry bath ❤

[@deborahallford7337]

Yes, when I heard Michelle almost always showers at RV campgrounds, that made up my mind... I will find a LTV, as it has a dry bath. Great to know.

[@nancyfuller4901]

To conserve water in the shower, squeeze as much shampoo suds from your hair as possible and then put on conditioner. The conditioner helps cut the soap suds and you only have to rinse hair once.

[@LivinRVision]

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll give it a try. 🤓

[@Beckykay.456]

Franklin TN is an expensive place. Nolensville is very nice too $$$$ ! Daughter lives in TN … A beautiful state

[@tanya334]

Let her dance !! 💃

[@vanananag7736]

Love your videos Brian and Michelle; great content and editing. My husband and I own a Class B, yes the bathroom is small but it gets the job done. We vacation for 1 to 2 weeks at a time so I can forgo a long hot shower by doing a Navy shower in our van. My solution for washing my hair and saving water is to use a shampoo with conditioner combo, both in same bottle. Works well enough for my shoulder length hair. We also use a low sudsing body wash, Dr Bronners, to shower, wash hands and wash dishes. It rinses easily and I use less water, which is necessary if we boon dock or dry camp. Looking forward to your next adventure.

[@LivinRVision]

🧡😊🤓 Thanks for the suggestion!

[@lessard2020]

I really liked when y"all started dancing to the music while driving. I saw a couple of birds still in love y"all! Cheers! 😀

I've watched you guys for a long time now and don't think I've ever posted a comment. Just wanted to say hello, tell you how much I enjoy your entertaining videos and say thank you for sharing your journey. From me on a little Scottish island! Stay safe and happy! :)

You too just crack me up😂. We love Bucee’s and I’m the planner and love Trip Wizard. In fact, I was on it as I watched this video😁. I also have my Notes up because you have so many great places that you visit that we may want to check out when in that area. Thanks for great videos😁✌🏼🙏🏼

[@jolenecreech7648]

👍 I agree . Nothing worse than stale cigarette smoke in your clothes and HAIR! 😮. My son works in Franklin! ❤. We eat at the Frothy Monkey 🙊 every time we visit him! Such a quaint little town! We will be there at Christmas 🎄 again this year. Can’t wait 😊❤.

[@billtorrence8102]

Right? I lost it on that one!!!😂

[@mikemadden865]

Great video! We enjoyed more candid comments about van life, with humor thrown in for good measure! Including “ret’ to go”, the closing song and the Asheville sign on I-40 made our day! We live about 80 miles south! Thanks for sharing!

[@onthegowithgreggsavage]

This was a very informative video as always, and I enjoy them very much. Im always calm and relaxed after viewing them.I am starting van life soon once I decide on which unit to buy, and there's so many I also going to make videos on the road as I travel across the country but first I have to learn how to do that lol . Thank you for what you guys are doing, and I'm sure you're well aware of this, but you're both very blessed to have each other, and to do what you're doing. I wish you both much health, happiness and safe travels. Sincerely: Gregg Savage.

Yall stopped at my exit for fuel! Can't believe u didn't show exit "Bucksnort" lol Franklin is great, love all the places. Weren't the tree colors pretty this year! I always hate when i hear your closing song start playing but have a great & safe week. ❤

Hey y'all!! Michelle, I am so proud of you. Living in a van was not something you really were crazy about, and look at you now. So happy that it worked out. Lance does all our road scheduling, too. There are so many wives that do it trip planning. Thanks for making me feel not alone about the scheduling. 😁 Hope y'all are well. Take care.

I know it was a week or 2 ago that y'all were in Caruthersville, MO but welcome to Missouri. I actually live about an hour away but y'all were about 2 to 3 blocks from my daughter's house. Hope you enjoyed your visit and y'all have a blessed day and safe travels

[@wes10011]

Nice video

[@jeanneprice6736]

The foliage was pretty

[@jamesdredge423]

Love your videos! The music you choose is so easy to listen to! Agree about the smoke in Casinos, whenever we stay in a casino campground we rarely go in the casino because the smell is terrible! Even the smoke free areas are bad.

[@LivinRVision]

We have been to some that are smoke free, those are definitely the best.

[@louiselevasseur7556]

I am glad that you are embracing the van life Michelle but I bet it was a huge adjustment. We travelled full time in a class C for 3 years and I found it too confining. Now we have a home base and plan to do 6 months in each. Best of both worlds! Stay safe, happy and keep the videos coming. ❤

[@LivinRVision]

It was an adjustment for sure, just like it was a huge adjustment going from our house to the 40’ Class A and then the 33’ Airstream. But the more we traveled the more we started to realize the things that meant most to us to make “our” lives easier. We are all different and that’s one thing that we notice, is that there are some that tend to forget that we live differently than most others. Also, a persons height/size makes a big difference also and each of us have a different tolerance level. With us traveling so much, the 24’ extended van gives us as much room as possible without losing too much ability for parking, there has been more advantages “for us” than disadvantages. You can take any RV and talk about all the negatives and wonder how people can travel and live in them compared to something else, but at the end of the day, what matters is what benefits each of us, not what benefits someone else. That’s why we never tell anyone what we think would be best for them. Regardless of what you buy, you’re going to be curious if something else would fit your traveling lifestyle better. 🤓

[@louiselevasseur7556]

@@LivinRVision totally agree! We enjoy our class C but often explain to people the advantages and disadvantages so that they can determine what’s right for them. You guys are awesome, keep up the great work!

[@LivinRVision]

@louiselevasseur7556 and as you know, that’s all we do as well. 😁🤓 Hope we see you guys again this year!

[@carlasmith4777]

Made to my neck of the woods 😊

[@h.d.stevenson4713]

Alright -- Michelle FINALLY got to drive!👍🏽... was worth watchin' 'til the end ... my wife was never comfortable driving (1st RV experience was drivin' a Class A to Disney World w/ kids, she got 'behind the wheel' all of 30-45 minutes, insisted I take over [while she 'AMPed-down'] & I drove the other 12+ hours) 😂 so she's still reluctant about a 170 Ext, but is 'Ret-Ta-Go!' for sure now drivin' the smaller 170 Std (THX Michelle) ... & ...'who knows'... where we'll go after a 7-9 hour day hosting clients inside 🤔 (most likely the nearest hotel w/ a HOT spa & KS bed) 😅 😂 🤣

[@thereserveteamsc]

While we love your videos, my wife isn't thrilled as I go from your video to the Leisure Travel Van site, would love a unity rear lounge! While I don't think it is, it looks bigger than yours with its seperate work and play areas. But damn like everything they are expensive. Keep up the good work!

[@thomasstaples4385]

Love your weekly shows. When stepping out of the shower and assume you are using some kind of shower shoes. You still need to dry the feet prior. We use the disposal doggie pads take your wet shoes off and enjoy a warm dry and clean bath mat. When done simply toss in trash

[@LivinRVision]

Another great idea! We bring a couple paper towels in the shower with us and if the shower facilities doesn’t have them, we bring them ourselves. We just dry one foot at a time and reach down to dry our shower sandals one at a time before putting our feet back in so that we don’t step on the shower floor. Same thing as you mentioned, just toss in the trash and very cheap. May be a different story if we start losing our balance as we age. 😂

[@CyndiConnard]

Yep, they work great for the showers or pets. That's lwhy I sell them on Ebay, campers love them. And they are great incontinence pads or set a pet on top of one instead of an your clean blankets.

Thanks , Michelle, for your opinion about vanlife. I have wondered about it. Our Class C is 26'4" and we wonder/talk about benefits vs smaller space of a B. Do you think y'all will go back to a larger size when your agreement with Grech is over or will you stay with a B? Thanks! You have a nice screen presence and it's nice to have a convo with you (Brian is funny and we love him, too), sometimes it's nice to just hear from you.❤🙏 Jane in SC

[@aleyapuliafico2918]

Your videos are so entertaining, thank you for sharing! 😂 When you do cook, what do you cook. I know I’d worry about my clothes getting smelly from cooking food! Do you BBQ outside? And my second question is, I’ve been nervous about the 24ft, and leaned towards a 22 foot class B. Now that you’re in a 24 ft, do you think you can do a 22 ft?

[@LivinRVision]

We usually cook small meals that don’t require a lot of pans or work, lol. We’ve cook pasta, steaks, pork chops, salmon, eggs, pancakes and more. We utilize the microwave a lot also. We don’t have a grill with us but we have a portable induction cooktop that we can plug in outside if we want to cook something pretty smelly like bacon. We could probably do a smaller van if we didn’t live in it full time because we would lose the extra space for storage and have a smaller refrigerator.
