I’m going to do it ASAP! I’ll be 50 in two years when my youngest graduates and I can sell my house. I love my friends and my job but I can’t afford this house by myself much longer. I’m scraping by to give my kids the stability they need. But as soon as they can be on their own (or with their dad if needed) I am out! I want to see and do ALL the things before I’m too old to enjoy it all. I told my son I’d love to be a cashier at a gift shop in Yellowstone- he looked at me like I was crazy- but honestly, that’s what I want to do!

[@LizAmazing]

Yes! Do it! I started at 55, loving it!!! Keep me posted, Karilee!

[@georgetudhope]

I spent one summer at old faithful gift shop. It was a blast, I recommend it to everyone and if you have an rv there are spots instead of dorm living

[@KarileeT]

@@georgetudhope awesome! I will have an RV soon. I have a little goal to work at gift shops all over the USA in the National Parks!

[@georgetudhope]

@Karilee Taylor The people who work seasonal jobs at national parks are called national park bums from the tradition of nicknames at Yellowstone such as pearl divers are dishwashers

Liz, you never glamorize RV Living, you say your truth.

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks Steve, so glad to have you here!

[@GenesisMovie]

What an uplifting video - thank you! I agree, the media wants to pit us against each other and it's just not true. The RV community is so welcoming.

[@LizAmazing]

It sure is. I am so glad to be a part of it. Thanks for watching and see you in the next video.

[@starhopper59]

Liz, let me first say that we love your channel! RV full time living is not for everyone, though. We dabbled in it for a while, but it wasn’t for us. My wife and I are similar in that we like to have a permanent place to call home . I have to believe that some due diligence research on your part would have avoided the awful location your home was located in. For our part, my wife and I have found that having a “sticks and bricks” home is much more secure than living full time in an RV. In fact, trips in our RV are more special to us BECAUSE they aren’t day to day living - they are trips to “get away” and see something new. Different strokes for different folks I guess!

[@LizAmazing]

Hi Alfred! Unfortunately we bought that house in the summer when traffic was much less. Even talking to the neighbors did not reveal the problem. Their homes were situated such the noise was not an issue. The sellers of the home had passed some years prior so we couldn't ask them. It was just dumb luck I guess. So glad you tried fulltime RV life and have now found what works for you. Thanks for your kind words, and for watching. Appreciate you helping me get closer to 100k!

[@Stephanie-vn6ir]

Very well put. 😊

[@starhopper59]

@@LizAmazing I guess there wasn’t much more that you could have done to avoid that location! Be safe.

[@lindae4061]

We love our RV life too!

[@BrisLS1]

I have to agree, the RV trip would be fun, but not full time. I have seen 100 videos about RV, and only one showing how you empty the dark waste tank. And that's about as many times as I would ever want to deal with that per year. I do sympathize with their home buying mistake. I made a commitment to a job once, during summer. Same as she said, the world is a different place in most states in the summer. Traffic was nothing, and then it was 2 hours longer to get to work in the Fall. Don't buy anything or make huge life choices during summer, unless you live in permanent summer like SoCal, or Arizona or Florida. Also, when you buy homes, people flee like flies, because it is not about them. You almost need a realtor and then a paid advisor who is not on a commission to get it right..

[@randycooper9022]

Hi Liz...I don't want to live the RV life, but I must say you make great videos which I enjoy every week! Have a great weekend!

I gave up my house and all of the stuff in it soon to be six years ago for the RV lifestyle. I know I could never live in a house again, just the thought of not being able to move about this awesome country meeting new people and seeing amazing things makes me crazy. You said it perfectly Liz!!!!! ❤

[@LizAmazing]

Thank you so much!! Congrats on six years of RV living! Hope to see you on the road.

[@barefootincactus]

Six years FT FR me too. Cheers!

[@jimm2442]

We have been RVing for 40 years and absolutely love it. We have traveled for months at a time all over this beautiful country, and we have always owned a home. Ten years ago we purchased our current home (with cash made from owning and selling our other homes over 30 years). It is on 10 acres in the Sierra Foothills with a detached shop and RV garage. For us having a beautiful home to come back to is very important. Being retired we still have the freedom and resources to travel in our RV whenever we want, owning homes has helped make that possible. We do not have to worry about where the money is coming from. Owing Real Estate is more than simply a home base it is an investment in future financial security. Paying rent will never gain you anything other than a temporary place to stay, all that rent money is gone. I hear what Liz is saying here and agree with many of her points. But for us we also want a home where we can have family and friends over and make memories also. For my wife and I we find that having a "sticks & bricks" home and an RV work great. We are all very fortunate to be able to make these kind of decisions, freedom is truly priceless!

[@LizAmazing]

Wow, it sounds like you've found the perfect setup for you. Thanks for sharing this, Jim! And see you in the next video.

[@rpodadventure]

Liz, I am with you on this. I started full-time in a Forest River rPod 180 4 years ago and decided I too was ruined for house living. I have since upgraded to a 33-foot Fleetwood Southwind and drove it for the first time today. The feeling of freedom is indescribable with any words I know. I love RV life so much!

[@LizAmazing]

Wow, that's awesome. Congratulations, what a great size! The freedom...when you know, you know. See you out here!

[@toddwerther188]

Glad it works for you, but.... you can't always leave when neighbors are bad, like, every winter most parks in the south are at max capacity. Your home breaks down and requires just as much maintenance as a house. albeit without the yardwork. Why not get an affordable home, and travel.... most parks are upwards of $50 a day. Skip the $400K RV entirely and spend $150 a day at a hotel, how many extra $100 can you spend to equal a $300-$400K RV? A lot Sunrises and sunsets are everywhere, no RV required Yes, you probably meet more Q and Trumpers... no thanks. I am glad it works for you. Our plan is to downsize significantly and travel by car and staying in hotel, motel, air BnB, etc. heard too many horror stories when it comes to RV life.

[@paulmadkow9143]

Hitting my 7 year anniversary of full time RVing. I can't believe it's been that long. I could never go back to a sticks and bricks lifestyle. I don't like staying in one place too long. Our homes have wheels for a reason. I started work camping last year. I got to spend 3 months in Santa Barbara CA and next month I am going to a work camping job in the Park city Utah area for the summer. Can't wait. The people you meet too.

[@LizAmazing]

Wow, that sounds like so much fun. I love Rancho Oso in SB, such a pretty place. I was going to stay there the month of March but then the rains came. Park City is awesome, too. You're picking some good ones! Thanks for watching Paul and congrats on 7 years!

[@petitchenil]

The sunrise and sunset bought back memories. I lived on Key West for a few years and had two jobs. One early in the morning at a hotel and watched the sunrise over the water and the other at a gas station and watched the sunset over the water. It was awesome. If it was not for family we would move from part time to full time dog showing everywhere it’s 72 degrees outside. Not sure we could give up our house or stuff.

[@LizAmazing]

Yep, it's not for everyone. Cheers to you for enjoying sunrises and sunsets!

I really like the American (Anglo-Saxon) women as they are practical, untangled and speak well. I also have a motorhome here in Europe and I feel the same way. The advantage in Europe is that you are traveling through history and in the USA you visit large and beautiful desert places like Arizona; Sedona is a must see, and many protected natural parks. But in Europe the experiences are much more daring and out of the ordinary.

Many love RVing till ... they don't. You're still young and healthy but as you get older, things change and NOT for the better. It is always good to have a place of your own (house/apartment/home base) to come back to, ALWAYS. It is always nice to see your kids especially grandkids and NOT just few times a year (we see them daily). Trips .... do you really need a $100k+ RV to take trips, how about a van, you can either camp or stay in a small motel, and after few months or so of traveling, you can always come back to your home base. Good for you that you love what you're doing, for us, we love traveling and sightseeing as well but to a point, after few months we cannot wait to get back. Good luck to you in your travels.

Subscribed for your goal. I'll share a story for you in case you are reading these comments Liz. wink. My older sister is 63 ... her and her husband are 20+ year Military Vet's... for many years they RV'd and camped, and hauled their Jeep or 4 wheeler. We would Camp at this great place in Virginia, I'd meet them there. About 2 years ago, when her husband finally retired (he's younger)... they took the RV across the USA....for a month....stopping at their brother's in Utah...down into New Mexico....etc. When the housing market hit some peak numbers ....they sold their home in Maryland, moved to "The Villages" (over 55, in Florida- yes THE bubble), parked the RV in storage, sold the 4 wheeler (sold the boat). They had a mutual friend from the Military network with them to score a great home at The Villages...they joined clubs, swimming, golfing, RC (radio controlled) boating club....on and on ....clubs for everything, AND, party's at the square all the time... Discussing this subject with another person who tends to need more "alone" time (like me) ...seems ...we get re-charged by Nature and solitude....our conclusion is....some people re-charge from socializing and being with others more. Maybe they will get the RV out of storage someday...it's only been 1 year... from: Mike ( at 62 years young, still riding a regular bike... yet, those e-bikes are cool for sure)

Liz: "And when you think about the things that you have, they all take time to clean, to maintain, to take care of. I'm free of all that....". Are you? In an RV??? From what I've seen and read it appears that RV life involves constant demands on one's time to maintain the RV, find and prepare food (tiny or no refrigerator or freezer), stay clean (small shower or no shower area), and go to the toilet (need to constantly deal with monitoring and getting rid of black water and gray water). Add to that having to constantly maintain all of the RV's sub-systems which undergo rapid wear-and-tear due to constant use: The engine, the tires, the AC, the heating system, the slides, the electrical system, the plumbing system, etc.. Living a house involves lots of maintenance, yes, but a lot of the things on my To-Do maintenance list are non-critical issues that I don't need to get to quickly like mowing the lawn or getting and spreading mulch or painting a fence. Not quite the same being in an RV and having an engine, or AC, or slide problem.

[@LizAmazing]

All as I can tell you, Samuel, is that I have TONS of free time compared to living in a house. I'm talking hours and hours more each week. Your mileage may vary.

We already have our truck and fifth wheel. We are weekend warriors and retired. It boils down to a sense of security. Our house is a financial asset, can't say that about an RV. This life does call to us though. Sometimes we just feel stuck. ( I am interested in other's thoughts on this topic.) Perhaps I romanticize it.🤔

[@LizAmazing]

Hi Christy! Now that the market is so hot, it might be a good time to sell and just bank those funds. Buy a condo years down the line if you ever feel done with RV life. But first, since you are retired, plan some longer trips. Looking forward to seeing you out here and thanks for watching.

[@KathleenMcCormickLCSWMPH]

Wonderful video. I traveled in my van for a couple of years and agree with you completely. Now I’ve bought a house and I’m reconsidering that decision. Thanks for the perspective.

[@LizAmazing]

Thank you for watching, Kathleen. Glad that you got out here and did van life. I bet you have lots of great memories. See you in the next video!

Awww, you are so kind! Thank you so much!!

....LIZ...WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR RV BREAKDOWN AND YOU HAVE NO MONEY...WHAT DO YOU DO... AT LEAST WITH A HOUSE YOU ARE NOT STRANDED ..YOU DONT NEED TO GET A TOW....BUT SERIOUSLY ...SOME PEOPLE JUST DONT HAVE THE MEANS FOR RV...STILL GREAT VIDEO....

[@kathyfann]

I sure think I would. I’ve been RV in so birding now you know and I’m not sure if I can give up everything but maybe I can I have two homes that are paid for and if I sold them I could get something and have a stash for repairs and all that sort of thing And I think I would love it because I always have. I’ve always love the scenery. Personally, I love to get out on the road and just see what all God made. I love his creation. I love to talk to him while I drive when I’m home I get depressed I guess that’s my answer right there. I watch everybody else having fun. Can’t wait till I can get back out there. I have to save because I have Property TAX and all the expenses of two houses so maybe I need to do what you’re talking about find a nicer rig tow my transportation.

[@LizAmazing]

Hi Kathy! Driving and seeing our beautiful country sure can be a source of joy! Hope you get out heres someday and do some traveling. In the meantime, you are more than welcome to ride with me virtually. Thanks for watching.

[@minnesotafolk8722]

Still trying to get rid of all our stuff!! I found some great places thanks to our local PBS station! Now homeless, battered women, and people with mental illness crisis will have the stuff they need for a hand up! 🎉 and I will find my couch in the park model again! 😂

[@LizAmazing]

What a great idea, thanks Paula!

[@auroranite]

Liz what you’re describing is the ability of our brains Neuroplasticity. If we do the same thing, see same people, see same scenery, etc, then we lose that brain growth. We become more rigid in our ways and less likely to accept change. Your experience is a remapping of the brains circuitry for the better👍

[@LizAmazing]

Oh! Good to know. Thanks for posting this, and for watching.

[@Babsonthego4]

I gave up my apartment to live in my SUV. I get Social Security, plus I also Door Dash. I am a 75 year old woman that had finally started living my life the way I want and not how society thinks I should.

[@LizAmazing]

That is so awesome, Barbara! How inspiring!!! Thanks for watching and looking forward to seeing you out here.

[@maryhamilton2053]

No home is perfect nor camp but we try hard. Enjoy your home. The view sure helps! Feeling safe good food n drink and I’m happy.

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks so much, Mary! Yep, you gotta always look on the bright side, and be grateful. See you in the next video.

[@inhale.exhale.2527]

Hey Liz - I am unhappily in Europe and would love to do rv life in the States but with a covert rig - for cost and security. Would it be acceptable to camp and park sites? 🐾

[@LizAmazing]

There are plenty of people stealth camping in the US. Or you could just camp for $180 from Sept thru April. Such a good deal. More info here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmbJY36ejbSpqLs

Aww, thanks, it's one of. my favorites, too. Thanks for watching, Donald!

[@p.a.andrews7772]

Do you know anything about those fascist criminals who hang out around campgrounds ? Most of them are retired military officers from what I've noticed .

[@LizAmazing]

You've been able to pick out criminals? Wow. And talk to them to find out what they are retired from? Super powers!

[@susan49c]

I am shocked that you didn't understand that their are many homes with sun rooms on quiet streets......you just have to LOOK for them! Duh!!!

[@LizAmazing]

Thank you for your kindness, Susan.

[@bettyjoooten2587]

This kind of life is for the very rich People. Who could have ever for the big rig like that that's just a bit beginning the expense of something like that just a gas repairs and everything else hit in the road all the time hitting the pavement going places.noteveryone can make big money on you tube to pay for every thing. . I can't believe how people travel and then they end up in these RV parks that you got just enough land to park your big RV and that's no life at all you're cramp didn't like sardines. Unless you can park way out in the country of no man's land with no water hook UPS or anything else .

[@LizAmazing]

Hi Betty! That's why I showed my campsite-- it's an acre!!! Plus water and dump station nearby. It's so uplifting to be out here and see that people of all income levels can do RV life. Hope to see you out here someday, and thanks for watching.

[@tombeilman5579]

I guess you were staying at la posa south, funny you showed tews and date palm that's where we stay. Lots of good clubs in Quartzite like the gem club and the metal detector club. About every park has music jams. We have met a lot of good people from all over and all walks of life. Was you close to the nudists in la posa?

[@LizAmazing]

No I was not on the nudist side or near it. I wanted to check that out but I was warned against it, lol! Thanks for watching, Tom!

[@rickjanetmusenbrock8627]

Could u share where the BLM Land is in Quartsite AZ? Is there more than one area. We are truly excited to start our full time RV LIVING!!!

[@LizAmazing]

I was at La Posa South. Stay tuned for a video with more details, and thanks for watching! Safe travels!

[@MeAndMyRoyalEnfield]

I agree with you. Two years ago I got rid of EVERYTHING and took off with my Royal Enfield motorcycle and tent and have never been so happy and free. I moved with the weather. I go Up north when the temperature goes Up. This winter I spent in Rocket Ranch campground in Boca Chica TX watching SpaceX. I love this freedom. Heading up the Natchez Trace in a few weeks, and then...?

[@LizAmazing]

Happy and free! I am with you right there!!! Enjoy and thanks for your comment!

[@chrisgeezvlog7349]

Tip about how to avoid the disaster Liz experienced with her dream house-turned nightmare: Visit the neighborhood during the day during the workweek, and also on the weekend. During the weekend trip, take the time to knock on the doors of neighbors of where you could live to ask them their opinion of the neighborhood, e.g. traffic, type of neighborhood, etc. Doing so when I house hunting some years ago kept me from buying a place downwind from a huge pig farm, and if you know how awful the smell can be, you know why I chose to bail on that too-good-to-be-truth home offering.

[@LizAmazing]

That's a bullet you dodged for sure. We actually did talk to neighbors but our lot was so very noisy while next door neighbors were not. And we bought in the summer when school was out and traffic much quieter. Just bad luck I guess. Thanks for watching.

[@Milesco]

@ ChrisGeez: Good advice! 👍

[@edensfamilyadventures2714]

That all works in a normal world but our world has been far from normal in the last 3 years now..In our local real estate market here in AR if you find a house that you like for sale, you don't have the time to do all the research on the neighbors ect. Most houses sell within the first 24 hrs so that doesn't leave time for any of that. Basically, if you can find a house that you like, you better snatch it up before someone else does! Sooo many people are fleeing the big cities in search of a more calmer and slower (quality) way of life these days. We have a motorhome that we use but absolutely can't wait till the day we can sell off and hit the road full time too! There is soooo much to see out there in Merica!!! Some people love full time travel others don't. We love it!!! We totally relate Liz!! Rock on girl!!!! 💪

[@r8edrv4fun65]

I lived in a house like that. They cut through to skip the long traffic light. I counted over 170 cars one morning, in one hour. I do NoT miss that place.

[@LizAmazing]

You and me both! Thanks for watching and see you in the next video.

[@dww1213]

I lost my husband before we could do the rv life. Niw I'm wondering how i can do it workout him although it is my retirement goal. Thanks for sharing.

[@LizAmazing]

You are not alone, plenty of solo women out here. Just take it slow. And thanks for watching.

[@kriscampbell2327]

I lived in a house on a busy street for 18 years. The swoosh swish swoosh noise of the cars constantly driving by really got on my nerves. Moved a block and a half away to a quieter street. I've been much happier without that incessant noise of cars going by.

[@LizAmazing]

I can relate 100%, yep there was no getting used to that. I'm glad you moved, and thanks for watching, Kris!

[@glamphiker]

Liz, I've been watching your channel for a long while, but I just feel in love with it now. I absolutely want to sell my house and live the full time RV lifestyle. I know it isn't all glamorous but neither is owning a house.

[@LizAmazing]

You're right about that. People say when something breaks on the RV "it's always something" but the same thing can be said for a house. I do love all the TIME FREEDOM I have now. No longer spending hours and hours each week cleaning, mulching, yard work, housework. Thanks for watching and see you in my brand new video right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3LLZ4F-nLJsprs

[@KM77413]

Id love to do RV life full time, but i have 4 kids and 9 grandkids, no way i will leave them. I do part time. But I like watching the full timers.

[@LizAmazing]

That's good that you've been out here experiencing RV life. I know many part timers who have their grandkids join them for trips to see National Parks, so fun! Thanks for watching.

[@jeffsteele1295]

Wow what a nice video I really enjoyed it thanks so much. I'm headed that way now but still a long way to go . I'm wanting to find crystals and gold hunting. I have a one of a kind metal detector so can't wait to put it to use. Thanks for sharing your video so much. Jeff

[@LizAmazing]

Ooh, sounds like you have some fun things planned. I just left there but already look forward to my next visit. Thanks Jeff!

[@peteherrera1502]

when the dollar is replaced with the digital dollar and you are no longer in control on how you will spend your money, they will limit the amount of fuel you can buy which means travel will be severely hampered. which means RV life or VAN life will be no good anymore. you might want to transition back into a home

[@LizAmazing]

I am going to live RV life while I still can, life is too short to worry about what might or might not happen. Thanks for watching.

[@jodyprivee2774]

Hello from Litchfield Park, Arizona! Nice to know that you enjoy this beautiful state. Blessed to be here!💕🏜️

[@LizAmazing]

yes. I could fulltime RV year round and never leave AZ and never run out of places to visit. Lucky you to live here! And thanks for watching and bringing me closer to 100k!

[@randyholloway920]

Do you find the large motor home and towing the truck limits your travel routes or where you can fit into parks, land, camp sites, etc.?

[@LizAmazing]

Hi Randy! Not in the slightest. I love having the best of both worlds.

[@wanderlustwheels4870]

You're getting closer to your goal of 100k and I am getting closer to my goal of full-time RVing. ❤️

[@LizAmazing]

Awesome!!! Looking forward to seeing you out here. Happy planning!

[@sandralewin5920]

100% about "the great divide" ! It's BS!! but the powers that be are trying their damndest to make us all hate and distrust each other😢 You look great and seem to be back in your groove😊 Take care

[@LizAmazing]

Thanks so much for saying so, Sandra! Sure appreciate you being here. Have a good week and see you in the next one.

[@allenhammer7923]

Glad your happy but a trailer park and all the expense is not worth it to me. Gas is not free. Sailing that is real freedom half the world population lives on the water. Think about it. With the toxic governments it is better to not be in a border but on the edge of one.

[@LizAmazing]

Ooh, I'd be tempted to sail the world, how exciting. Thanks for watching, Allen.

[@annsamazingadventures27]

I can’t wait to meet you. I’m wondering about your tow vehicle as I have been trying to sell my pickup but I see you are towing yours is your truck a standard. Have an amazing day. I think I was supposed to meet you we both have amazing in our You Tube channels haha

[@LizAmazing]

YES! We absolutely are meant to meet, Ann! My truck is an automatic 2018 F150 4x4 that is flat towable. Not all are, so be sure before selling/keeping it. Also, mine is the first year Ford starting doing the much lighter aluminum body. Thanks for watching and looking forward to meeting you!

[@SettieSpaghetti]

I really want to start, but I feel like my family is starting at a terrible time because we cannot secure workamp for this winter. Maybe things will fall into place last minute 😅.

[@LizAmazing]

Check the KOA WorkKamper program, best of luck!

[@gerryyaum]

The key to humanity is making friends with every type of person out there. Every race, every gender, every religion and every belief. Only then can you begin to understand the bigger picture and have empathy and compassion for all.

[@LizAmazing]

You got that right! Preach.

[@SlimShady771]

Does anybody really come and check if you've been on BLM land longer than two weeks?

[@LizAmazing]

Yes. They give you a sticker. Someone came and looked at my motorhome and checked the sticker on day three. I was surprised, too.

[@VELOPERS]

I did, I sold my house & bought an RV i`ve never looked back...

[@LizAmazing]

Yay! I'm right there with you! Thanks for watching.
