Part-Time RVing MYTHS Debunked! Clearing the Air for WEEKEND WARRIORS!

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

Hey guys! Check out our Free RV Basic Must-Haves Checklist Here: bit.ly/3MbbPkX It’s reasonably minimalistic, but covers everything you’ll need for a successful part-time getaway in your RV! Tell us below if you're a part-timer or full time.

RVing was a huge part of my childhood and some of my best memories …we had a 24 ft then 30 ft. Trailer. I don’t know much more than that haha. But we had a blast doing road trips every couple of months.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

It was a big part of my childhood too! So many great memories, I knew I wanted the same for our kids. (-Val)

[@TimeoffwithCuzinEddie]

We totally agree! It’s amazing how many full time RV folks are now looking for places to have a home base. I love the part time life, it’s a good mix of both worlds. Great video!

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

Yeah, we’ve noticed that too lately. At least it seems a lot of full time RV KZbinrs are showing a lot more interest in a home base. Seasons of life change! Sometimes it’s time to hit the road for a few years, and other times it’s time to settle down at home. Really interesting to see new RV community developments slowly popping up too! The ones that are developed for a smaller (tiny) home base but with an RV pad and covering like the ones in LaBelle FL. Those are pretty cool! Kind of best of both worlds.

Great video! Agree! Love that you are encouraging people to get out there now and not wait for retirement. We are not guaranteed tomorrow. We are also part-time Rvers with a travel trailer, although we are retired… well, until this KZbin thing came along, lol! We have no plans or desire to do full-time. I totally agree, we look forward to our trips and look forward to coming home, resetting and going again. Blessings, Rhonda and Stan

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

Hey thanks, Rhonda & Stan! Yeah this KZbin thing keeps ya busy, doesn’t it?! 🤪 Its really fun though to share the adventures with other RVers & connect! Looking forward to following more of your adventures as well!

Watched your video, pretty good! We’ve been part timing and owned a few rv’s we are in are mid sixties and three years retired. We keep our house and have a two year old class C and come and go as we please. From the Midwest and makes no diff for the weather. We go when we feel and typically stay out for 3 weeks or so. When our kids where kids they loved it and no longer have the desire but we love it and have other interests so that said selling everything and living in a rv full time isn’t cutting it.

[@adriannurse1502]

We started out with a used Class A diesel pusher. It definitely got expensive fast! We are retired and enjoy part timing. We have found that the most expensive part is the fuel if you want to travel. Campgrounds are number two. Where we have found the savings to get us when we stay out for a month or two. Then RVing is much cheaper than hotels. We only use our cellphones and free Wi-Fi. We had Direct TV for a while, but you have to pay for it every month regardless if you use it or not. Also a full third of the time there would be a tree in the way and we couldn't get any signal. We have a DVD player onboard and about 400 movies at home. We pick about 40 to take with us in case we can't get any signal. We enjoy traveling.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

Fuel & reservations do add up quickly, don’t they?! And yes internet is usually always a challenge as well! Lol Thank you for sharing & commenting ☺️

[@laurakilmer8652]

You folks have a great niche, Many more Rvers are part timers than Full timers. We were teachers so the summer was a great time to RV . Especially in the good ole days when You just pulled in to a campground and there was always a spot (without calling ahead)

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

Lol yeah nowadays ya gotta call way ahead! Thank you for the kind words.

[@laurakilmer8652]

We probably had more fun in our younger days with the Jayco Pop UPs. ( maybe it was b/c we were younger) You folks are smarter for getting something smaller, the smaller, the less trouble in many ways. Love you guys.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

Oh for sure, the less components there are, the less that can go wrong!

[@paulab984]

Our Jayco popup was the best!

[@walterrafolski5662]

You put a lot of thoughts and experiences into this video, very good advice thanks for your insight. We all need to realize less is more, keep up the good videos.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

Thanks so much! Less is definitely more for us right now!

[@jeffwatson2234]

Hey great video 2024 im retired and we just waiting for winter to be over and then we going be part timers

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

We can’t WAIT for Winter to be over too!

[@gjhoddy]

Just subbed, it’s refreshing hearing from part time RV travelers which is by far the majority.. Enjoy your videos.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

Thanks so much, we appreciate the kind words. 😎

[@bradb712]

Glad this video popped up on my feed. I like your vibe. We have 6 kids(five are grown)but just started as weekend warriors in July 2022 with our surprise child (only daughter). We love it!

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

Love to hear it! It’s an interesting stage of life for sure lol Good to see ‘em become their own people but bittersweet too. Almost feels lonely at times, but also kinda freeing. It’s a very confusing time lol. Is this your very first season RVing? How exciting!!

[@bradb712]

@@OurNextAdventurejvh it’s definitely an interesting time in our lives. Bittersweet is a great word to describe it. This will be our second full season in 2024. We are “disciples” of KYD. They helped get my wife over the hump of getting an RV…now she loves it too.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@bradb712 That’s awesome! Chime in again soon, would love to hear how your 2024 adventures are going!

[@Ex.Nihilo]

Agree on all counts. Handy is a nearly mandatory. We tend to seek places that have awesome bike rides nearby. Headed to Rainbow Springs in 10 days. Ditto on the Brinkley- they have the Air 295 now. The next will be a couples camper without the bunkhouse- We are salivating for the upgrade. For whatever reason i like TT's better than fivers.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

Oh we are always salivating over all the upgrades too! Lol it’s so easy to get excited over all the cool stuff out there these days! Have a great time at Rainbow Springs!

[@jamesgreer3936]

Great video, it’s what we love to do as well. As you said, this lifestyle is inline with most other things.

[@kristingrounds4163]

Great video you guys!!! We hardly camped at all last year due to health issues for my husband but I hope this year will be better. We also are just part timers and I can work while camping (work for my daughter and son in law as their transaction coordinator )if need be but the hubby is not so lucky

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

Thanks, Kristin! Sorry to hear he was having some health concerns. Hopefully you guys will to go more this year. I know you’ve been wanting to try so many new places! Looking forward to hearing about them.

[@philipgerry5228]

If you start with a smaller rv that your current vehicle can tow, it’s less expensive.

[@philpalmer4877]

Danny Masterson has an RV channel on KZbin?

[@raycut8]

To much money
