So important to change roles not just in rving. My husband had a stroke 6 years ago, and I do everything inside and outside. Not easy at all. One night a bad rain storm caused a leak thru the roof into the kitchen, forgot to bring in the 30’ awning, and the smoke alarm kept going off. Since I couldn’t stop the screeching, I took it and threw it outside. Solved! Keep changing roles, it builds such confidence and character.

This is not directed to the person that I'm answering with the comment this is director to the KZbinrs, there are a lot of women that watch your channel that are not interested in this demeaning attitude and this dumbass video and I'm clicking off now

You've got this, Marissa !!! It takes practice (...and everyone makes mistakes at some point...). But you did great! And it is important that you do the routine and drive, at least every once in a while but regularly. If Nathan should get sick or injured, God forbid, you'll be able to drive your family to safety and to help. Great job, Marissa! God bless!

6 years ago when I got my first RV, I was completely, totally overwhelmed. I watched so many videos on dumping tanks, and just all things RV. I was scared to death. I wouldn't drive the RV for 6 months because I was too scared to take it on the highway. Now it's all second nature, although dumping tanks still not my favorite LOL.

I think Marissa did great, and over the years I have seen Nathan make several ooops backing into sights. IMO, it is extremely important for both to switch up roles incase of one is in an accident or gets eaten by a bear, whatever, set a schedule and do this on a regular basis, if nothing else to keep a sincere appreciation of each other's efforts. THANK YOU for sharing.

It's so important for both partners to know, understand, and be able to do each other's usually assigned RV tasks. I live in North Idaho and have a good friend who also lives here, she and her husband are "snowbirds". A few years ago, while wintering in southern Arizona, her husband suffered a minor stroke. They received excellent care and he survived the incident very well, but his vision was impaired in both eyes badly enough that he could not drive. My friend had never driven their Class A, had no clue how to do any of the "outside" chores, but it was imperative that they return to their home base here in Idaho ASAP, so she learned it all in all hurry, on the fly. Her husband was able to help her in many ways, and she's told me the setup/tear down routines didn't intimidate her so much as the actual driving/parking/backing did. The following two winters they did not go south, but stayed in Idaho, to provide rehab time for her husband. And while he eventually made a 99% recovery, and his vision did improve over time, it didn't improve enough for him to pass a driver's test. They are back to snowbirding every winter, but now she's the driver, having gained tons of self-confidence concerning her abilities to master tasks she'd never dreamed she'd even need to even think about trying.

I'm retired and grew up camping. My husband won't retire for another 6 years and though we have tent camped we wanted to get up off the ground. So we bought a popup when I retired. This way I could go camping with! Brother and 2 SIL's. He was a farmer and backing trailers comes second nature to him, not to me. So I practiced with my lawn mower and garden wagon, still I needed my brother to not only spot but actually tell me which way to turn the steering wheel. This spring we traded the popup for a 25 foot Alta 1900MMK. And I have gotten pretty proficient backing it in to our driveway and was able to back into a site in July with one swing. Granted it was a driver side turn. I'm also the one who supervises the dumping when we camp together. It is important I think for both to be able to tow, setup, and teardown. Keep on letting us join your journey and teaching your kids with hands on classroom.

Great job! I will say this is why a motorized unit appeals to me, and I like your unit! I think it may be more user friendly than a towable as far as driving . This is on my bucket list to switch driving roles. I have helped with most everything else. We have a 34’ airstream trailer, a gooseneck living quarters horse trailer, and I tow a small horse trailer and I still can’t back up to save my life. The living quarters horse trailer scares me way more at the thought of towing than the airstream. So far, my towing rules are 1) Get in the right lane 2) Stay in the right lane 3) If it involves backing up, simply avoid and only do situations where I pull forward. I don’t know why, but so far, hubby has not relinquished control of our 34’ airstream classic. He wants us to find a huge empty parking lot to practice first.

I agree with so many of the comments of "you must switch roles with your partner." me and my wife switch often with our camper roles. My father has recently become unable to drive, so my mom does everything camper related. So it's important to learn the roles to know what needs to be done in an emergency, or if one is sick and unable to drive. Nathan needs to do the homeschooling on the next video!

Marissa you did just fine. The more you do it the more comfortable you will become. So keep on doing what you’re doing until you are totally 100% comfortable. I’ve known many couples that were in your situation. The man did the outside and the woman did the inside. Then the man passes away, and the woman end up selling the RV. My sweetheart passed away last January. Luckily, I knew how to set up everything and that included taking the truck camper on and off from the truck. We were one month shy of 18 years full timing. We retired our fifth wheel on a lot in Arizona and travel exclusively in a truck camper. Yes there were a few things I had to learn, thank goodness I had a tremendous amount of help from RV folks at our park and also the wonderful KZbin videos. Ralph and I often talked about when one of us would meet the Lord that the other one should continue to travel and carry the other ones ashes and that is what I am doing. So I want you to keep on driving and setting up the outside until you can do it in your sleep. You are a nurse and a mom and those are the two hardest jobs out there, so I know you can do this. I’ve enjoyed your videos so much. You have a wonderful husband and beautiful children. God bless you all.❤️🙏

One last thought Nate and Marissa. I know all this flagging thought is a bit much since I did it for my entire carrier. But, I have seen so many RV channels that have phone or walkie talkies to back up. Backers say need more left turn. What the hell does that mean. If you are sitting in the truck, does that mean I need to turn the steering more left, or does it mean the back of the back of the trailer needs to go more left ? Left is 2 different things when you are sitting in the cab of the truck. Game plan, know what each one of you needs. The person in the back knows what is going on. Driver is at a loss, he can not see. Even with back up camera, only does so much. Person directing is is MAIN. Game plan, flagging plan, walkie plan, phone plan. Be on the same page !!!!!!

This was really a great video. And this is why we have a smaller truck and a smaller travel trailer. Just in case......I ever have to drive. I do not feel comfortable towing. However I have driven a van for years. So I would LOVE this rig you all are traveling in right now. My van was a self-build. No black tanks. LOL Marissa....you have done a fantastic job !!!!! And I have to say, it is hard to be in reverse roles. My boyfriend is the navigator when we are traveling 99.5 percent of the time. But our travels have been in a van. I drive !!! But now that we have a travel trailer......Oh Lordy, the navigator has a tough job I tell ya, and I am not a good fit.

That was excellent!! It has only been the past 2 years that my husband, Dennis, has been doing the hooking up, towing, and backing in. Before that, it was all me but he learned a lot. (Dennis tolerated camping for me, now he's hooked!) One day he asked if he could try, we had travel trailers in those days. So I was you Nathan, LOL, very nervous. I can still do it all, but he has taken over and I'm fine with that. I have towed our 5th wheel, but I haven't backed it onto a site. The only thing he has yet to do is dump black water, but he has dumped gray. Close! So glad to see you are better, Nathan. I was thinking in your last video you were looking a little green and something was up. Thanks again Moss family. God bless.

I also take cars of the inside. Hubby does all the walk arounds and he directs me in backing into the sites. I dont like being a passenger as i can suffer from motion sickness.

I drive a 25 ft B+ very similar to the Lineage, and I find it very easy and fun to drive and park. My late husband and I had a 27 ft TT that he was always trying to get me to pull, but I refused. Good job Marissa!

One thing I was taught was to change the water selector before turning on the water. They told me changing it while under pressure is hard on the valve.

Well, we won't learn if we don't try. Teacher or self taught. Man or woman. Great job Marissa! Keep doing it, it can be a drill that could come in handy one day. If knowing what to do, it won't be done with a stressed mind. Thank you for sharing guys! :)

Then I laughed at the gas station when Nathan said now you have to clean the windows. 😂😂 But you did a great job! I remember you driving the fifth wheel I think. Great video! Love you guys! ❤❤❤❤😊🤗 I was praying you could do it. 🙏 And you did it!

I never get tired of driving 20 and stopping at Oso once I turn at Rockport to get to Arlington. OSO is a small town where a major mudslide killed 43 people 10 years ago. A friend of mine lost her entire extended family, and her son lost his cousins/aunt uncle.

Good job Marisa. It’s good to switch up jobs. Like most couples, I usually do the inside while hubby does the outside. However, I dump the tanks. Hubby does the driving, I navigate & be his second set of eyes.

It's always good to learn everything when it comes to rv'ing. I'm usually the passenger but have driven our 29 ft class c and towing our Jeep cherokee . Honestly I like being the co pilot.. Quick question, do you always fill your water tank ? I mean between campgrounds. Is it a preference or something we should also be doing.

I think it's good to learn how to drive, setup/breakdown the rv, that way in case of an emergency or something else you'll know what to do. I think she could have backed up that size vehicle on her own, Nathan I think your directions were confusing her, I can relate i've had people try to help me back up when I get to a campground but honestly I can do it better without the help especially if they are not familiar with backing up TT and give me directions for backing up a MH . I'm a solo female camper and its all about gaining the confidence to do it and only way to do that is to practice/practice/ practice; I also get out and check my site first and I'll get out as many times as necessary to check my surroundings while backing in.

The RV is my baby, I do it all. The boat is my husbands😂 Last month I drove with just the kids (no hubby) all the way from Alaska to North Dakota. Epic trip. I like the water hookup inside the compartment on your rig, that’s pretty cool you can leave the hose attached.
