Our Thoughts After 7 Weeks into Full Time RV Living 2022: RV Life

[@NolomEbal44560]

I live between Destin and Pensacola and the price for an RV Park in my town is OUTRAGOUS! Which gives me an idea. I should rent out a spot in my yard for RV parking @$60 a night. I'm 2 miles away from the beach and fishing, Free WiFi, out door shower, above ground pool, and can handle an decent sized RV.

[@indee105]

You'd be crazy not to.

[@NolomEbal44560]

@@indee105 Actually, someone did occupy my yard with an RV for about 6 weeks. It was only temporary until a more permanent location was available. Things went well with no issues.

Crazy!! I just opened this video and see your comment. I live in Navarre and we are thinking of selling our house for a class a and being nomads. Anyway good luck!!!

[@NolomEbal44560]

Better make sure your rulers are going to allow you to do that. They will also want a heart cut and permits. Ya know celebrate your “freedoms”. 😒

[@daveanddianethrowingcautio5707]

We have been fulltime over 9 years now and MAN have we seen all of the expenses go up, it's just getting crazy. We plan to start eating out at lunch time to save on the eating out cost. And after this years plans we plan to go back to boondocking more like we did the first few years on the road. We used to only make plans a couple days before lifting our jacks but we don't do that any more. We have kept track of every penny we have spent over the last 9 years fulltime and looking at that spreadsheet just makes me shake my head.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

We didn’t anticipate the cost rising this fast when we decided to go FT. And just like you guys we will adjust our cost and plans as well. I guess it’s just a part of life. When you’ve been married for so long you kinda do this over the course of time. Let’s just hope it doesn’t last long. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching.

[@healthieryou7206]

I went full time just over three years ago and kept track of all my expenses from day one. Even a $2 cup of coffee went into the records. For the first 2.5 years the costs were kind of steady but the last +- 6 months it just spiraled out of control. I also came to the conclusion that I'll have to travel much slower than what I'm used to. I normally boondock for a couple of days and then move on. Now I'm thinking more in the two week range. Lets face it, gas prices is outrageous and staying out of towns/cities is a good (money saving) idea anyways. .

Just found the channel. 7 weeks is just about the time it settles in that you aren't on vacations -it's a lifestyle. My wife and I have done the snowbird thing for over 20 years. We've traveled with everything from conversion vans, tents, and even sailboats. We pretty much traveled without long range plans. That got harder and harder to do. I think the last time that was viable was 2019. Good luck with RV life and the channel.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

That's so wonderful you guys have been able to travel the way you have for over 20 years. We were able to enjoy some of it before 2019 but agree it has changed so much over the past few years. Thanks for your support and watching our channel! Best of luck to you guys and enjoy your journey!

We did it for three years was going to do it for 5 to 10 years. Just got to be too expensive and too much trouble with all of the restrictions everywhere. It seems like everywhere we went something broke. I wish you guys all kinds of luck we did have a good time while we were doing it except for the cost. We now live in a very nice house and spend a lot less money than we were spending trying to live in a fifth wheel trailer

[@briansmith192]

Your post brought back a flood of memories for us. Don't, despair as it's normal as you know or soon will. Advice that we learned over the years. All plans are written in Jello. Take it slow. We've lived and traveled in Montana for over 30 years and still haven't filled our bucket list there and the vast array of where we've been and want to go. Best thing was to make our rigs we've had self sufficient. That means batteries,solar,inverters whether we boondock or not. For us, we have our property in Montana and go to desert Southwest for the Winter. LTVA for the winter is 180.00 from Sept. 15th to April 15th. Enjoy the journey!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thank you so much for the kind words and advice. Katrina and I had the same discussion and it’s only matter of time before we learn to manage the day to day ins and outs of FT RV life. We hope to boondock in the Southwest sometime. Please don’t ever hesitate to comment and give advice. Thanks for watching!

[@MessianicJudaism]

Every new Rv'er has the same story as yours. Lol... me included. I have been a full-time Rv'er going on 7 years now. Two things that helped me get started is a book called Voyaging on a small income by Annie Hill. The second is the RV Odd Couple. For me, I have no family, never married, no kids ever. I don't have friends either. So... I don't have that issue of wanting to visit people or family. I prefer to be deep in the forest fishing, hunting , and camping. I hook up with other veterans from time to time during hunting season. Looking forward to more of your work and adventures.

More homeless

[@SuperSushidog]

We have been living in our MH FT for about 3 1/2 years, and we hardly ever stay in RV parks. In fact we have been boondocking/dry camping continuously for over a year. Of course there are more opportunities to boondock out west, but on the east coast there are still low budget techniques you can use. For instance I am dry camping in an RV park right now near Shelby, in NC. They are allowing us to stay here for $150 for 3 months. That's less than $1 a day for dump station use, water and trash disposal. Before we came here we stayed in 3 LTVA BLM areas in the Quartzsite, /Yuma, AZ area that cost $180 for all winter (7 months) for the same amenities (dump/water/trash). Quartzsite is a like a giant campground with about a million other RVers spread across the desert. You will definitely make lots of friends if that is your goal. Having sufficient solar power, a generator and plenty of tank capacity helps facilitate dry camping. We sometimes stay at Army Corps of Engineer parks, as we get 1/2 price camping (in the $7-$12 a day range) with our America the Beautiful pass, along with free national park admissions. When we do stay in RV parks we get a monthly rate. We wintered over at one in Los Indios Tx, (near the MX border for some fun day trips there, Ole!) for a couple winters That cost us only $170/mo for a FHU 50A site (+ electric which ran $75-$100 a month). We really like the people there too and are going back next winter. As far as wireless communication, we recommend FMCA's $50 a month unlimited T-Mobile WiFi. It's not perfect, but perfectly adequate to stream KZbin video and watch Netflix or ROKU on several devices simultaneously. Gas is a big expense for us now as we just traveled from coast to coast in an 8mph MH, but we try to limit our MH travel to 7-8k miles a year. Our 30+mpg toad helps a lot. Nevertheless, fuel is still our #1 expense. But that is a controllable expense, so it's manageable. Freedom is the most important aspect about this lifestyle. When someone asks us where we're from, we answer, "Were free range humans." Give this lifestyle time. You still have lots to learn to bring your expenses down, but that's part of the adventure. My best advice is to slow down and smell the roses as much as possible.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

I'm having a little brain overload right now. LOL Thanks you so much for all the valuable information. For us it's all about the journey so we are fine with learning through trial and error.

We like campgrounds too. Many people rave about boondocking but a peace of mind in a campground is nice as well. And we like checking out other rigs as well.

Yea, I don’t get the Boondocking thing either! After 21yrs in the US Army, my velvet-ass doesn’t plan to make it hard on myself while trying to enjoy life. The extent of my Boondocking is limited to a Bass Pro, Cabella’s or other Parking lots that allow anymore. I’ve NEVER understood the appeal of FLORIDA because there’s tons of other “Southern States” that are way less crowded…The Southern most end of FL just gets worse because there’s less land and much more people that had the same thoughts! Hell, I think I would go to AZ or NV before FL…

Editing is the hardest part to a KZbin channel. Shooting the video is the easiest part to making a video. It's the editing that takes time. And any more everyone expects content like these professional channels, with pro editors on the payroll, I still love making content though and that's what drives me to continue. My wife and I are planning on getting an RV and adding that in my video too. Great video and spot on.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thanks so much for your comments! I can see the frustration on Chris's face sometimes when he's editing. That's awesome! Keep on doing what your doing.

Just started following you. Totally get the campground cost. Try camping in Delaware / Eastern Shore of Maryland in the summer. They have lost their mind. $150-200 a night.. Crazy. I'll have to catch up on your other videos. Great information, thanks for sharing you journey.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

We’re from MD, so we hear you when it comes to the cost on the eastern shore. But you gotta admit, eastern shore of MD is beautiful. We recently joined Thousand Trails and will stay at our 1st park next week. We are hoping it pays off in the long run. We will see. Thank you so much for the support and thanks for watching!

The biggest eye opener for us was realizing just how vulnerable we are to severe weather. A tornado passed near us in Alabama and demolished several sticks and bricks houses. It’s sobering to realize what that storm would have done to an RV park.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Fortunately we have not experienced very bad weather yet. Hopefully no one was hurt. It's always in the back of our minds that something like that could happen to any of us traveling the way we do. Thanks for your comments and taking the time to watch!

Love the idea to follow beginners rver. We can learn from you guys regarding the present craziness we are living now. We just bought our class A rv. No traveling yet but paying attention the situation regarding campgrounds.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

We joined Thousand Trails a month ago. Just stayed at our first campground and it was ok. Nothing great. But we did so in order to save $$. They say if you use TT enough, you’ll save $$ over the long run. So we’re going to find out. We have some RVing experience (PT) for a few years. But as you know, FTing is another thing all together.

We aren't full timers but we're also dealing with the higher cost of food. It's crazy! And yes, the cost of campsites has definitely gone up as well. I think you're so right about people not telling everyone everything in their videos. I have no idea how people fly by the seat of their pants, either. Here in Michigan you need to reserve your spots in state parks 6 months in advance for May-October if you want to make sure you can get in.

Lots of the other full-time RVers have said people are booking 6 months in advance, especially at the state parks. Maybe because it's cheaper than places like you found. There's lots out there to help you figure out how to stay cheap or even free. You must have a plan though, to have places to park that aren't sold-out or super expensive. Try You, Me, & the RV. They're super helpful to new RVers.

We have found you have to book up to 11-12 months out at state parks. Love the state parks!😃 We really enjoy Phil and Stacey and the information they provide. Love all your input. Thank you for watching!🙂

I will check them out. We waited until full retirement to get our RV, but for the first time I’m really discouraged. Prices and availability, even for distant long weekend trips, nearly non existent and not at all affordable. With relatives and friends in several different states, taxes and prices vary from ridiculous to unaffordable. Thanks for your encouragement and experience.

The unexpected things that happened to us once we became full-time rvers were exactly like yours. The cost of food and lodging, as well as the cost of car and rv insurance. And what happened with the fuel cost??? We drive a 40ft motorhome with a 100 gal fuel tank... HELP!!! The park prices are getting ridiculous, especially since we bring our own self contain housing with us. Why are we having to pay so much for a stripe of land. Maybe if enough rvers start avoiding the expensive parks, they will have no choice but to bring there over inflated prices down.

[@travelinggirl6681]

I would love this lifestyle for sure but as a person that does a lot of time spent researching, do not expect expenses to come down, because the plan is to keep prices going up and up.

W/R T Anxiety when towing...I use a checklist app. I mean I USE it. I don't walk around with my phone constantly open, but when I think I'm done with a task, I stop, open the app, and go thru the checklist and make sure I didn't miss anything. Also, I NEVER check off something I am about to do - I only check things off that are DONE. And every time I miss something, I add it to the correct checklist. It makes a world of difference.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Sounds like a well thought out plan. I like it. Don’t know why, I always get that sinking feeling I forgot something with the tow. But an hour later and I’m usually ok. Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it.

My boyfriend's house burned down in January and he has no insurance. We've been renting and when you're not used to that extra expense it's crazy.

[@suerop]

Don't get me wrong, but it sounds like you are having lots of second thoughts about full time RVing. I didn't hear you talk about liking to be outdoors, walking, hiking, biking, learning about the areas you're visiting, such as architecture, or why the cities and parks are named what they are. Are there any famous people who are from there? Is there a place where the locals hang out? Maybe you could get into photography and get a different view of the places you go to. Also, try to get to know your camping neighbors. A lot of what surprises people is how friendly RVers are, how much they have in common. Ask about their families, pets, hometowns, travels, favorite places to stay and to visit. See if they have a fun recipe for you, so eating "at home" doesn't seem like a hardship or monotonous. You'll get the hang of it. Best of everything in your travels. I wish I could be out there. Susie.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Oh no! Not at all. We love all those things and have done them in the past. My (Chris) favorite Ntl Park is Zion! The hiking there was amazing! Have you ever been? We have been talking to our camping neighbors as we go along. That’s one of the things that has attracted us to RVing/camping. The people are great! All those suggestions are great and we really do appreciate your insight. And we would ask you to continue to offer advice and suggestions. I guess it’s a lot like staring a new job or moving into your first house. Your really excited but there’s some anxiety about certain things. And like those life events, we will get through the hard times and make it work. We love it! And hopefully one day we can meet you on the road. Thanks for your support.

I'm a full-time nomad 6 years. Maybe look into boon docking with solar in the winter out west it's free and save for the campgrounds during warmer months to use the AC. Some campgrounds have a year out wait list for reservations. Anything that says RV resort expect to pay for it $$$ it's crazy how much the price to camp has gone up. You two were fun to watch 😃 What part of Maryland? I've lived in Ocean City 💕

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Boondocking out west (and anywhere else) is something we want/will do. Solar is not in this years budget. But we hope to one day. We lived in Eldersburg (Carroll County) for 21 years. Katrina’s family still has property there, so we park the RV there when we go back home. When I was younger I wanted to live in OC. I think every young teenager wanted to at that time. 🤣🤣 The price is crazy but it’s all supply and demand. And we’re ok with that. Just gotta improvise. And by the way, since you have 6 years experience. Please don’t hesitate to give advice. We would really appreciate it. Thanks!

[@jerseyandhernomads]

OC is one of my favorite places. I'm from Jersey but OC beaches are so much better. I go about once a year. Feel free to ask me anything.

Have you heard of Quartize Arizona? We all go there around December to Feb early March. Free blm and Jan starts the big tent RV and rock and mineral shows ect .

[@brianvandy4002]

AT $50 a night, you could spend $8k putting in a solar and battery system and it would pay for itself in 23 weeks of boondocking. It also could be used for something like 1000 trails membership.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

And that’s exactly what we would like to do. I’ve heard nothing but good things about boondocking long term. We’ve did it for a few days here and there. Of course we have the generator. Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for you insight and thanks for watching.

[@brianvandy4002]

I should say, I don't have any affiliation with Will or these batteries. I just cringe every time I see someone spend 5 times more than they need to on batteries, because I don't have money to throw around like that. Good luck, and I can't wait to see what you do. There are a lot of other options presented by Will also, so do your studying and don't take my word for it.

New sub ☘️ Just some thoughts: Out West is definitely cheaper and more boondocking spots. Some I believe you can stay up to 14 days. Then there’s quartzite which you can pay 180 for 6 months. You could use it for less and still do alright, or as an area base camp and go off on trips around that area. Good luck in your travels. Have you checked out boondockers welcome site? Worth looking into.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

[@billwiley7216]

Never did full time but have owned several class A's and a couple of class C's over the last few decades, also have tent camped and van camped and honestly the rv's were the least enjoyable, the most expensive both in using and maintenance and upkeep cost. The tents were the biggest pain and depended on the weather the absolute most and the van camping for me was the best compromise and kept with the actual 'camping" feel or vibe while allowing the ease of finding a location to stay along with not costing a fortune to travel to different locations. The rv's in particular the 34+ footers you are so limited in sites large enough to accommodate them not to mention I enjoy tthe mountains and the fuel mileage of one of those beast up and down grades on mountain roads is so atrocious it takes out some of the enjoyment due to the high expense. The full time thing sounds romantic but for me anyway even being retired taking off a few weeks here and there usually in the off season and mainly during the weekdays is I think ample. Like many I toyed with the idea of full time for a bit but I think it would get old really quick honestly. And for me I prefer to go more non destination places to get away from people, enjoy nature and maybe fish a little not have people packed in around me like a residential neighborhood. Enjoy yourselves and good luck but I do not think now or the coming next couple of years is going to be the best time financially to try living the lifestyle you have currently chosen.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Haven't tent camped since I was a kid but did enjoy it. If or when we decide to sell our rv we would love to start van camping. It is nice having time just being with nature and not being in a campground. Actually we enjoy both. If we had known what was around the corner when we made our decision to go full time we probably would have waited a few years. Happy to be on the road not so happy about all the prices skyrocketing! Thanks so much for all your comments and watching the cannel! Stay safe and enjoy everyday you can getaway! 😊
