Yes, we see them all the time. Our kitchen is too small for appliances. She uses her Le Creuset almost everyday. It's nice because we can slow cook on the stove or use it to make brownies in the oven. Doesn't need to be plug'd in like a crock pot. She also has consolidated the kitchen utensils to only the essentials. Best of luck!

Also, regarding the health insurance...I am in a health share. The price was very good per month and it covers you worldwide for any doctor/hospital/urgent care that you need to use. There are 5 or 6 main health shares of which I am aware. Read carefully because each health share is different and covers differently. Some don't cover anything to do with motorcycles, some don't cover ambulances, some will only cover 3 occurances per year and their pre-existing conditions work differently as well. I have just had my first medical need so I am about to find out how well mine works.

You guys could probably benefit from a fifth wheel with a middle bunk. Checkout Coachmen Chaparral models 360IBL, 371MBRB, 390QSMB and 391QSMB. I can see your family fitting in something like those models. Of course, go with the brand and model that works best for you. But, I love that most of those models have a large rear living area, large kitchen and still have a bunk room with two double beds OR Queen/twin combo. We have a family of 4, we're in a TT very similiar to yours and I dream of having a fifth wheel like the ones I mentioned for the extra seating space. I'd love for us to be able to watch a movie together without me (the mom) having to lay on one of my kids bunks to see the movie and help keep the peace with the limited seating options.

We have a 2015 Keystone 31' travel trailer with the outside kitchen. We usually set it up out there for moisture and smell reasons. Its a great way to feed a family of 6 and not spend 2 hours fighting for counter space during meal prep times. There are some great crockpot cook books out there too. Plus its a one pot meal so clean up is easier.

I am definitely of the same philosophy as far as not putting it off until you have the "perfect" RV. You are so right that it may never happen if there is always another "goal" to reach first. I have custody of my three beautiful grand daughters and until they arrived in my care, I had planned to hit the road any way I could first afford to make it happen. Of course, life sometimes has another plan, and they became my priority...but now that they are settled with me and know they are safe, it is time for some adventures. Your video's have been nothing short of fabulous. I can not thank you enough for the time and energy you have put into sharing your experiences. So many question have been answered and so many ideas and myths have been put to rest. Once we have my mother settled in long term care, we are hitting the road running. I am still undecided on which way to go in regards to their schooling, but you have given me so much to think about and questions to ask to make that decision with much more confidence. I really thought that my "daydreams" would have to be put on the back burner, but you have certainly inspired me to stop daydreaming and get moving, even with my new additions to the family. Realizing that I can still do this with these wonderful kids is so exciting now. And I cant thank you enough for that inspiration. May God bless you and keep you all safe on your travels.

I laughed when you said it got cold in Oregon. Yeah, our weather is usually lousy. Our summer is about two months long, maybe slightly longer since it sometimes eats up the later weeks of September, if we're lucky but most of the time we have rain, cold, clouds, rain, fog, & did I mention rain? Gotta love Portland, we're pretty much siblings to Seattle, any weather you'd expect Seattle to have, prepare for that when in Portland but in July & August, that glowing ball in the sky makes things warm so at least there's that. We have had rain in August before but mostly you can expect good weather around that time. A lot of this was nice to know, I was a little worried on stuff regarding doctor visits & so on but I'm super thankful that if I need it, I can call my mom for advice since she was an ER nurse for 20+ years. I won't be RVing for a long time, I can't afford it right now but I totally want to when I can. I'd be on the road on my own but I definitely want to have a dog, I grew up with a dog & I always felt safe with him around so it will help me feel far more secure RVing with one which does bring me to something, what about emergency vet care? Like what if you're off in the woods somewhere & your dog gets injured & you need to take care of it right away yet the closest vet would take a long time to get to, what do you do then? You might of mentioned it in this video, I was cleaning while watching but I listened in on the stuff that more of appealed to me, maybe I might of missed it.

oregon sounds like England, mostly dull dreary and depressing as it too is always misty cloudy windy or raining, but we do usually see more sun in the wintertime, the Only problem is the sunshine days are short and the sun has no strength to it, but does help to clear up the winter blues. At least America is a very large country and all one does need to do is to travel to the sun inside their own country, Like Miami.

We wonder about AC and leaving our animals in the RV to go shopping, etc...I know the restrictions vary from state to state. So much to learn. QUESTION: what about theft and break-ins? An RV podcast, "Roadtrekkers" had a break-in and they lost over $10k of stuff and money...have you guys ever had issues? Do you have preventative measures? Keep up the awesome, you two!

Hey there Janet. Yes, you've been along for the ride for a long time! Always good to hear from you. We are going to do a video on RV Safety. Sorry to hear about Mike's trouble. I think I recall that. We have had no issues. We take extra precautions when we don't like the vibe. Before going into cities, we take the bikes off the truck. If the RV park doesn't look/feel right, we might lock the bikes up or take our computers with us. One of the reasons we went with Progressive is to get 10k of household insurance. I can't recall the correct name, but it covers personal items if stolen from an RV.

This was a great video. We just adopted a dog 6 months ago when we were offered a 2 year old standard poodle. He is such a joy and easy to keep clean when traveling even though he's mostly white (some brown mixed in). I highly recommend a standard poodle they are very smart and great companions.

I just wanted to say thank you for this video! It was nice of you to take the time for us. :) So, did you sell your house or are you renting it out? I think you sold it, but suggest renting? We're trying to decide and think we're going to rent ours for at last the beginning.

We suggest renting as it has more options. But it depends on so many factors... tough to say for you.

Enjoyed the video! Before retiring from my FT job at the end of April and going FT in a Class A at the beginning of May , medical insurance was a big concern. Cobra was out due to the cost, private insurance was costly as well. Through the govt. marketplace I was able to get us a policy through Florida Blue which does cover us nationwide. At least in Florida the coverage does extend out of state.

Great job. I like that computer stand. I showed it to Matt (he does most the editing) and I was rolling when you said you paid your kids not to text you. LOL

Since I got it, my computer stays cooler due to the fans under the tray. My computer is faster when editing. It's been great.

We came from a family with large dogs (German Shepards and Golden Retrievers.) For travel, we choose a Yorkshire Terrier. The ideal smaller space animal. Small, friendly, do not shed whatsoever, obedient, easily potty trained. They were bred to be mice and rat catchers. They always want to be the presence of people but NOT necessarily a lap dog.

Obviously, you've considered upgrading the truck when you find your fifth wheel. Depending on your budget, you might consider Cedar Creek or Jayco. We e've been researching rvs for a couple years, planning to snowbird eventually. If you really want, to upgrade (double the $$$i), check out Rv Factory. Wow! I love that you guys do regular q&a, always good info! Thanks, safe travels!

Absolutely love your channel. I live in South Africa (which is a tiny country compared to USA) and yet still haven't seen most of it. We already homeschool our 3 kids (10, 5 and 2) so recently we decided we want to do this full time travelling thing (in about a year, gotta get the 2 year old out of diapers first 😂). We are considering getting a motorhome / camper that compares in size to a class B... but can sleep 6 (2 above the driver's cab and then you have to "flip" the 2 seating areas every night). Are we crazy? Should we look at something bigger? I remember from another video of yours we should just grab the window so maybe this is what we should do and maybe upgrade later? I also gotta bear in mind that this is South Africa. We barely have winter. We would get a tent for the front which extends our living and cooking space. We also have very little rain here.... its do-able, right? 😂

I laughed over what you you want in your next trailer. There is a standing joke among full-timers that goes, "I wish we had bought our last camper first." My preference is a diesel Pusher towing a Jeep Wrangler so options are open, We will always have a "Homebase" to swing by occasionally. Being retired and able to maintain a Homebase is an advantage.

Sooooo, from what I gathered from this video.... Trish does ALL the laundry, cooking, cleaning, organizing, running errands, the kids' homeschooling, and preparing snacks for the kids. And, Marc empties out the black tank. Yea, I think that it's pretty much "equal". (If anything, I think that Trish needs another duty or 2, to make up for Marc having to deal with the "stinky slinky") Haha, just having a little fun with ya :)

My daughter homeschools 4 boys. There are meet ups and groups. Yes, it's easiest if have a stationary home, but the boys have friends they've made online. Not all of them are local. And those wagons are awesome. I shove it in my Prius when we go traveling. No luggage cart, no problem.
