RV Life is NOT What it Seems

[@brucewallace3860]

If folks will watch y’all on a week-to-week basis for 18-24 months, they will know what RV life is like - - keep on keeping it real. Thank you!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you! We are so glad you enjoy watching our channel 🥰

[@traveler320ak7]

I have been full time RVing for over three years. It is A LOT of work. I am constantly doing DYI projects to fix all of the things that break..or making appointments for larger broken things. I think I’m going to move into my house again for awhile..to rest.😀

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

This lifestyle does have a lot of logistics and repairs but it’s worth it!

[@SocialChannelStudios]

I absolutely love how this family makes RV life look so adventurous and cozy! The mother-daughter singing session is just the cutest! 🌟🚐❤

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Awe thank you so much 🥰

[@PamW2009]

This has to be one of my favorite LJMJ tapes ever! Thanks for sharing your ordinary side, which is what we all experience daily, along with the exciting times. I smiled the whole time watching it. I consider you all friends though we have never met face to face. Watching Hensley's karaoke with her friends and Marissa was just adorable! Nathan that chicken looked amazing! I could almost smell it. God bless you all. ❤

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it ☺️ he did a great job on the chicken!

[@misspersnickety3674]

An oak tree blew down onto our RV last year during a severe storm , and crushed the front end. We were fine but had to get another RV. We moved here to Oklahoma a couple of years ago, and all of this violent weather makes me want to return to Colorado! I washed dishes too - it's preparing you for real life when you are on your own. Y'all sing good😊

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Oh I’m so sorry that happened! Washing dishes builds character 😅.

[@brettelizabethspore]

This was one of my favorite videos you’ve done lately. Just the heart and soul of who you are as an RV family. Hugs from Bothell.

Safety tip…..don’t scoop your ice with a glass. If you get a piece of glass in your ice, it is difficult to tell.

[@blessedtoquest]

This is the thing I think we hate the most with Tornadoes... and there has been a LOT this year my friend! We've been at our home base in KY and it's been a crazy 2024!! Always leave! Weather is just way too unpredictable! I think Hensley and our daughter Chloe would get along lol. Chloe always has a go-bag ready as soon as she hear's there is "possible" tornadoes lol. Also, I miss your videos like this!! These are my favorites. :)

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

You’re right the weather is getting worse each year. They would get along great I’m sure ☺️.

I’m 50yrs old & I was singing 9-5 when I was a child. My friend & I made a dance to it & made our parents watch us 😂. Some things never change ❤ And I used to think it said, “smoking dope with a lot of your friends waiting for the day” 😮😮🫣🫣🤭

That is so true, glad you enjoyed this video!

[@kathiebauer5165]

A great video from your home base. RV life / living small is still great. At 50 we moved out of the city into an older 5th wheel that was home for 6+ years. Building a very large house our selves & being able to provide daycare for our 3 grandchildren as they arrived. Now 25 years later we are looking forward to life in a 5th wheel again. Snowbirds in reverse so to speak.

[@susanpratt3290]

Loving your video. It is real. Love seeing Marissa and Hensley in the kitchen singing 9 - 5. Love the song and the movie, which I found at a Half-Priced Bookstore for $4.99 a little over a month ago. My Dad, sister and I took turns doing the dishes when my mom cooked. So, it is good that kids learn and do some chores. This is a great video, thank you all for sharing. Also, I love you all's outdoor concert on the deck. Love the Northern lights. You all are lucky in Tennessee to have basements in the permanent buildings, Texas doesn't have basements, they just build houses on slabs, and we get more than our share of tornadoes. A little over a year ago in December 2022, the Grapevine area, (not far from Euless), Texas had a breakout of tornadoes, that damaged a Sam's and a Walmart, a car wash and various other places, the carwash got rebuilt, the Walmart got fixed, and the Sams had reopened earlier this year. One reason I love the west side of the Rockies (Utah side), is that we didn't get tornadoes, when I went to college there back in 1978-1982. They did get one in Salt Lake City, in August 1999 which surprised me, but it is rare that Utah, gets in tornadoes.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you, tornados 🌪️ are very scary we used to get them less frequently and it seems like they’re trending more and more.

We have lived in OKC for the last 19 years so I know exactly what you are going through with the severe weather. We watch Ryan Hall Y’all on KZbin in addition to the local channels.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We will have to check out his channel thank you!

[@lescrone5048]

I finally broke down and bought a travel trailer and a new tow vehicle. It’s only been 2 months full timing but I already love and hate it. 😂 There are all the things you see on KZbin, then there the things you don’t see like unclogging the toilet, setting up the rig in the rain, or forgetting to turn on the water heater when you really needed a hot shower before going to a work meeting the office. I’ve already battled storms in Tennessee and rough roads in New Jersey. So far, the worst of RV life is the drive between camp sites. Driving stinks!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

There’s a lot of give and take in this lifestyle but it’s worth it!

[@sherriweber7105]

Hi Nathan and Marissa! Great video! So glad you were ok from the tornado. I concerned of my sister who lives in Tennessee as well with the tornado but she said it flew by them and went else where..Thank goodness you all and my sister and her husband were ok. Love how you trying to hide from the Nathan’s meeting to get your clothes. It was seeing the entertainment with the dinner. Nice dinner show. lol! 😊 Great video! Love you guys! ❤❤🤗🤗 Have a great week and see you soon!

[@spencerrains8381]

@@LessJunkMoreJourney, the trick is... I clean ours with a vacuum about every three cooks. One other issues I feel is the pellets get moist if they sit long in the hopper. and it will seem to never get to temp... and what happens is because the pellets are damp they do not burn well and the auger overloads the fire pot and I have never had that problem as long as the pellets were fresh ...Steaks and ribs on that thing ....

It was glass but thanks for letting me know that!

[@exploringrvdude7817]

It's not 'big feet' it's 'superior balance'. For Nathan, something that might be useful from a noise perspective is something I had to solve. I record content for a youtube channel where I teach illustration software. Being in an RV exposes us to a lot of background noise. Turns out in this age of AI, we can get rid of background noise through a nifty piece of software called Krisp. It's on the Mac and PC (I believe, I use it on the Mac). It removes background noise in real time during audio recording. A car drives by, or a child singing outside, no problem. They have a free version that lets you record up to an hour at a time or for like $100/year you get unlimited. It's a game changer for me being in an RV.
