RV Living Tour - Keystone Springdale 2020QB Tiny Home on Wheels - Full Time RV

[@RickMartinYouTube]

You both are very well spoken. No "ums" ......professional quality. Hope you're enjoying your life on the road......

[@didibolter9362]

And their very mature for their ages as well!!!!!

[@alanj7306]

They’re uh... um.. uh um. Lol 😂. They’re obviously both well educated people. Such a nice couple.

[@ellenhekert]

My husband and I recently purchased our first travel trailer.... a 2018 Keystone Springdale 2020QB. Discovering your videos is like hitting the jackpot! Thanks for all the tips and information.

[@JCMercyGrace]

I'm really glad to see the small, but needed kitty litter place, what it is, the little fence around it etc. And of course all the usages of command strips. LOL. While we don't have a kitty right because our beloved Patience recently died, we'll get another kitty, and hopefully also a dog to travel with us.

[@tonywpiche2263]

Just based on the contentment of your pets, you have a purposed and contented life. You have transitioned and adjusted so well. Thanks for sharing.

[@didibolter9362]

I agree with you!!

[@BreatherBoy]

hmm...hard to believe there are 6 people who would give thumbs down to this video. This couple is pretty awesome.

[@didibolter9362]

I wouldn't and couldn't ever give you guys a thumbs down, you're way too cool, funny, great and wonderful for that!!!! 😄😊❤💙💖

[@matturner7763]

Probably their cousins, ya know how family can be. LOL

[@codymontgomery7389]

There are 2 major reasons for someone to click the thumbs down button on a good video. 1. Unfortunately, there are people who watch youtube videos, who are jealous of the lifestyle that the vlogger lives, who will click the down thumb button out of pure jealousy, insecurity, and fear of missing out. 2. Some people are extremely judgemental and will click the down thumb button because of some tiny, barely noticeable mistake the vlogger made. Or they don't agree with the way the vlogger made the video. An example would be something as tiny and ridiculous as being picky about the background music that the vlogger chooses because they use country music and the viewer is a fan of rap.

[@nilobeebee]

They disliked it because they believe they keep rabbits for food.

[@sunrisegroup4912]

they're great and love their furry friends!

[@Natedoc808]

I really appreciate your channel, the effort you both put into the videos, and very much your clear, commanding style of communication without all the “umms, likes, uhhhs” that you find in other videos. I do have one idea that may help you gain some additional storage: for you solar components taking up half your pass through, you can make a small shelving system with skeletonized walls for venting and mount it to full length drawer slides so it only occupies half the space, tucks in against the center partition, you can store common items in front of it. If you need to access it in any way, you just slide it up to the edge, could even use a quick detach system so you can easily pull the components out to service them.

[@zzzzhuhzzzz]

We've been watching through all your videos from the beginning through now, and while we also watch other full-time RV'er channels, Hubby and I agree that we identify with you guys and your style more than anyone. Solitude, mountains, and trees... yeah, that's where it's at. :)

[@rivettsrvadventures6308]

Nice explanations guys! I would suggest looking into a filter system called a Berkey. We love it and allows us to get water anywhere for safe drinking water.

[@KeatShadows]

Nice RV and nice pets. I like the idea of the extra storage in the back of the pickup. The way you two fixed the desk is super nice.

[@rpenoyer8659]

Thank you for sharing your home with us! So many practical touches to make it all work for you! That little bathtub is for little ones. Showering a 2-year-old is next to impossible, and a child that age is too big for an RV sink. 😊

[@lisafleming9603]

Sweet thoughts

[@tobicorey660]

Absolutely love your place. Plus all your lil baby animals are so so sweet. I am a huge animal person. Love love love everything you all did.

[@lowes891646]

The rear workspace table came out AWESOME!!!

[@rachelsmith6663]

Berkey water system is a great solution. Any water can be filtered, even river water.

[@westmountainadventures3606]

Bunny bath time. Cutest thing...ever!

[@lbducky]

We are getting ready to go full time with our 3 cats and 2 bunnies!!! It is so cool to see our RVers with buns. :D

[@liz3131]

You guys did a great job making it your own!

[@didibolter9362]

I agree, great job, looks comfy and cozy, besides being very useful!!!

[@theroadleads2744]

Love the full tour (finally) of the truck and trailer...well done! Would you all consider doing a step-by-step, start to finish how-to about how you make & edit your videos? They are always well done and easy to understand...and without all the unnecessary frills. We are starting to do some, and having trouble doing good videos. Thanks for any help and we love your channels and resources!

[@davidtitley6822]

Great video - amazingly capable trailer for such a small size (and no slideouts!). Very nicely done!

[@SpeakersIsGod]

I love your videos. I found you guys about a week ago and just love how you go about everything you do. I hope one day I can RV just like you guys. You look so happy and have it all figured out lol. I have been binging your videos and really love your solar choices. You have a very nice system.

[@icameronbrown]

I have the same radio in mine. To turn off the blue light, you just hold down the MODE/MENU button and keep pressing it until it says light, then keep pressing the volume down button until it turns off.

[@30-06]

Dinette conversion is the most impressive work you did to your trailer! This video was full of great idea, I just wished for more Sweetie😂

[@twentynineteen4687]

So much to love but my favorite is the laundry chute, LOL!

[@jeandupre4880]

Thank you, always a pleasure to watch

[@shareecutler4264]

I really like what you did with the table in your office space it looks very nice thanks for sharing with us have a blessed evening

[@KT-rk6fn]

I bet sweetie is loving that extra leg room with the renovation!!!

[@babbalouie3166]

The more I watch your videos the more impressed I am with your intelligence and ingenuity. If you haven't as of yet I would suggest looking into a Berkey Water Filter. Between my 90 pound lab and myself we drink nearly a gallon of water each day. Would not be able to do that with out my water filter system. I made mine using two stainless steal pots from Walmart and bought the Berkey filters. Saved over $100.00 over buying a Berkey. Two eye hooks and a bungee strap keeps it secure next to the sink. There are how to videos on youtube. Thanks for the info. Safe travels.

[@deltabravo1257]

2:21 Drop in bedliner is good when you have a lot of stuff. You can slide it in and out much easier. My 2006 Silverado had one and i liked it.

[@linkllewellyn3917]

👍👍🐕🐈😀 Thank you for the tour..really enjoy your travels n pets!! Aloha🤙

[@atozufelt7510]

Our family enjoys your videos. Thank you for your hard work! ???? We have used some of your tips in our own adventures!

[@rustyharvey3481]

Great video!!! You are absolutely correct the diesel is the only way to go. I live in a XLR toyhauler 24/7 full time RVing is the way to go.

[@didibolter9362]

Yes, the ONLY way to go, FOR SURE!!! 😉😄😆😊

[@JimCouch]

We have a 2017 Keystone Springdale 2200MB Trailer we bought new in 2017 and it is very similar in size. Part of the reason we love your channel is that you are fulltiming in a trailer very much like ours. I have been inspired by all the stuff you did with your and intend to do similar things to ours. Our dinette is in the slide and I'm going to replace it with a desk like you did. We have a murphy bed that folds down over our couch and I'm going to pull the couch out and build a box for storage and just leave the bed down on top of it. I have a little more length and the extra SF in the slide so it's a tiny bit larger than yours but they are almost the same. Gross weight 7700 Dry Weight: 5455 Hitch Weight: 670 Overall Length:26' 2 Overall Height:10' 6" Fresh Water Cap.:52 Black Water Cap.:30 Grey Water Cap.:78 Sleeps:4 slides:1

[@chiefjetsonofflare5329]

Great video I think you’ve convinced me we were thinking of retiring down to one warm spot this looks much better🇨🇦🌾

[@dawnagardner892]

Eric and I have been watching your very fun and informative videos for over a month. We actually decided to buy those lectric bikes after your show casing them. Thanks for letting us all in on your fun and amazing life. We will eventually start our own traveling after going on a few local trips...we are in Maine! and have just purchased an older RV .Cannot wait to travel! I dont have the pets you have but I do have 2 turtles...peaches and Tootsie.Thanks again.Dawna and Eric

[@didibolter9362]

You guy really have it all together, you are very well organized and you use the space wisely, I am so proud of you, you're quite awesome, very intelligent and down to earth people and I absolutely thank you for sharing your adventures with us (your extended family), we all love you!!! Enjoy your adventures, be safe, smile happy smiles and always kiss 💏 goodnight!!! ❤ always, Auntie Didi

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Great video. I picked up some great ideas from you all as always. Look forward to your next video.

[@sylviabovenizer]

Your animals have amazing personalities

[@didibolter9362]

Oh yes, I agree with you, they are extremely exceptional and precious!! I sincerely love them too!!!

[@janmariolle]

Great video, as usual. What a sweet life you have created for yourselves.

[@didibolter9362]

I agree, I envy David and Jenni, Min, Tat, Alice, Butters and Sweetie!!!! 😁😊😉

[@theresatom4807]

Great video!!!!! Also Didi is so cute she comments on almost all of them 🤣

[@ErnieLansford]

I ‘bet’ you can build a sliding tray for the truck to slide in and out to make stuff in the front accessible. You could build a 2 tier slider and drawers too. Just a thought.?

[@JodysJourney]

I so love what you did with the desk and table. Genius.

[@ronradabaugh5000]

Great video...You guys are organized !

[@richardowens9061]

That tub presents a golden opportunity - a recirculating shower! You could get a 12 volt submersible pump with a separate shower head and fill the tub with your shower water, then turn on the pump and enjoy as long of a shower as you want while boondocking! Of course, warm or hot water will eventually cool down - but, wouldn't it be a great way to cool down when it's hot?

[@PDX53]

A suggestion - move the fire extinguisher so it's at a more accessible height. I moved mine farther up the wall after my Nephew pointed it out on my trailer. I think trying to access it in a hurry where it's currently located could prove to be a challenge.

[@raymondschneider5217]

David and Jenni, loved the tour of the truck and RV; always curious about how full-timers (especially) set their rigs up -- some great ideas and mods, for sure! Am amazed with your resourcefulness and how you've managed to help the pets all adapt to their home, too. Ok, I have to admit, I'm partial to Sweetie and Butters and Alice. Need someone to "baby/pet sit" them, let me know! LOL... Thanks, again, for a great vid, guys (even if Jenni had trouble identifying a "radio"). Y'all Be Safe!

[@alanj7306]

Nice trailer for the money 💰. Love the setup and looks like it serves you well. Great find on the truck. That truck is going to last a LONG time!

[@pupcamper58]

Awesome video. I have a 20ft TT and took out my dinette too. I installed a drop leaf table. So much more living space. 👍🐾❤

[@popsicle33]

Geez. I applaud you. Living in your trailer full time is crazy. We have a Starcraft Launch 21 FBS with a slide. And we're only in it 3 or 4 weeks a year. It's like tiny home living.

[@jacij742]

Nicely organized. 👍 Love the addtions especially the desk.

[@sanoroo]

Great episode. Some questions: 1. I am curious as to why you decided to buy new? Most full-time RV channels I follow recommend buying used. 2. Have you considered permanently securing the storage door that no longer has storage? 3. What is the purpose of the tire covers on the trailer tires? (And why wouldn't I put covers on the tow vehicle?) 4. Is humidity/condensation an issue in your home? (If yes, how do you deal with it?) 5. What food recipes have you “discovered” since being on the road? 6. I notice that some full-time RVers cover nearly every wall and ledge with pictures, artwork, keepsakes, etc. These items in your home seem very well thought through, well organized and complimentary of each space. What is your theory for decorating the spaces? 7. Is one of your pets recognized as “the leader” by the other pets? (Sweetie is beautiful)

[@FateUnbound]

Hi Gordon! 1. We bought new because we were searching for RVs on dealer lots and we came across one layout that we really liked and didn't like the idea of buying used at the time but we wouldn't recommend buying new and we probably never will again. 2. No because if/when we go to sell our trailer in the future we want to have the option to bring it back to stock and put the old U-Dinette back in and have that as storage again. 3. We did mention this in this video along with a different video that was all about tires, but it's to protect the tires that sit for extended periods of time from UV damage and sun rot. We don't do this for the tuck simply because they don't sit as much as the trailer tires do. 4. Yes, almost every morning we wake up to condensation on the windows and door frame and to compensate for this we typically leave a window open in the RV but it's been too chilly lately so we air it out in the mornings to get rid of it. 5. All our food recipes we've discovered are available to patrons on Patreon only. 6. We have never liked wall decorations in excess and enjoy the simplicity of having very little on the walls, it seems cleaner that way :) 7. No, all of our pets want to be the alpha leader and it changes every day haha... but I think Butters is mostly the one in charge just because she's always so grumpy

[@Trailhound1]

Clever ideas. Thanks. Jack

[@camperpat]

Great job take care and have fun!

[@johnnyofast5924]

Lmao, look at the dog when she's showing the fridge, that is one happy dog!!

[@deanh7190]

Thanks for the tour. Great job maximizing the efficiency of your TT. Like the idea of separating drinking water from general water usage. High end 4x4 off road rigs incorporate that same thinking since water supplies aren't always labeled 'potable' as you pointed out or reliable. Storage idea for you: you could install load bars above the trucks cap and place bulky items like the paddle boards there and free up more bed space for even more stuff : )

[@HeiwaPeace]

I love your guys’ videos. You both seem so happy, fun loving and look like you are having a blast. I’ll be returning soon and will be on the road full time.

[@simplyrvlife]

Really enjoyed this video along with the others on your channel.

[@jershaus]

You guys bailed on lake havasu. We had a really go mellow rain yesterday. Good luck on your journey

[@estarnan]

Top quality production. You all rock! (all animals included) Love you all.

[@louisekelly3243]

I loved my second tour of your cute/neat trailer! I loved seeing all of the animals again. Hope you guys are having fun and seeing lots of good sights. I look forward to your videos! Happy travels :)

[@didibolter9362]

I absolutely agree!!!

[@joecrea7682]

Well done, thanks for the tour.

[@SunsetSeekers]

Thanks for the tour! Great video!

[@vindab06]

This was a fantastic video, very informative, thank you!

[@clintstinytrailerconversio5560]

Love it. Cute the way your 4 legged family came when you opened the under bed storage. Feed me! Having rabbits is something I haven't seen in an RV, til now. I had a tiny bathtub in a very tiny Trailmanor that I assume is to give a bouncing baby a bath. Ginny is right, the "radio" is more... I think they call it a "Mo-dio" or something like that (ha-ha). I bet you will inspire more young people to get out there. Best Wishes, WW

[@MisterMikeTexas]

If I were to start RVing part or full-time, I believe my trailer would be an Airstream, with a flush-toilet (I was raised with flush-toilets, so I would stick with one), and my tow rig would be a Ford Super Duty Powerstroke Diesel, or a Ram with the Cummins Diesel.

[@eliwilliamson7849]

Y'all need a chicken and a cow too. I'm impressed you live with so many fur babies. Great rig set up.

[@garryhammond3117]

Thanks Guys! We have been following you for a while. It looks like you have everything pretty much figured out. Garry & Dar - Roving RVers

[@didibolter9362]

I agree with you!!

[@enjoythejourney9812]

I love you videos. Keep up the good work. Thank you for inspiring all of us to live our dreams!

[@AbleFamilyLife]

Great organization. My favorite is the bathroom door towel rack I’ve gotta get one of those because with the 5 of us I never have room to store all the towels. 👌🏻

[@dlafery2123]

Amazing organization!

[@PugZDesigns]

I love the work station. I am a silversmith and will be doing something close to that dinette in the future!!

[@westmountainadventures3606]

What cat litter do you use? I highly recommend a walnut based litter to all Authorities, especially those living in tiny spaces. It costs a little more on the initial purchase, but It required fewer full changes and adding a small amount after a couple of filters refreshes the box. We have 4 cats and one litter box. One large bag lasts a little more than a month. We filter at least twice a day into a small trash can that sits next to the box. Even the trash can lacks any odor. The cats seem to love it as well. Every cat that I’ve introduced to the walnut litter just jumps in right away and does their business, even the ones not yet box trained. Love your videos and I will be returning to the instal/repair videos as I get to those projects. D

[@vlucidity]

I really love both of your personalities , and think you have a very fun filled life , i do believe that there can be some better organization and downsizing of things but for the most part you both seem to be happy so that is all that matters

[@po5960]

i love those camping chairs!

[@lowes891646]

LOVE your fridge!!!

[@davidhamlin705]

Well done young man

[@MrHeffyXX]

Just an idea for a money saver. Instead of using ziplock store bought bags. Use reusable ziplock bags. They are great my wife and I own them and love them. Good luck and safe travels.

[@trekkingwithcanine]

Love how organized you guys are! That's been the biggest challenge in going full time for us has been trying to keep the small space organized and clean. Especially with two dogs! Traveling with two rabbits, a big dog, and two cats has got to mean that you guys are sweeping constantly! I know I am with only two animals!

[@FateUnbound]

Yep! We sweep 2-3 times a day, but ti's totally worth it :D

[@tammyaswell4562]

I think my favorite thing is the laundry shoot. 😁

[@FateUnbound]

It's pretty nice! If we didn't have it I'm not sure where we'd put our dirty clothes haha

[@ericbuchta9765]

That’s crazy I d k how you can live in that. I love camping but I would go crazy. I give y’all props for hanging in there. 👍

[@koslund11]

We love the Anderson chokes and use them with the LevelMate Pro. App on the phone connects to leveling device in the trailer and I can yell out to the wife which side needs raising. Saved me a ton of time and gave the wife something to do.

[@cleavisbutkus9373]

I sold the house and went full timing. That was 22 years ago. Now I've been demoted to living in a truck camper. Went small. Broken down in Yuma Az almost a year, but optimistically I'll get outta here by June. Cheers to all

[@TheMcMillanExpress]

Great video guys! We just did a RV tour and solar tour of our 23ft jayco Jayfeather. Thanks for sharing!

[@deckard1779]

Such a thorough tour, no stone left unturned. I feel the alternative title to the video could be 'How to neatly and properly cram things into a confined space' :P

[@davidhamlin705]

I drive alone I I camp alone and I Drink alone love being free

[@ktm_braapbraap9719]

A loner gotta be alone.

[@juliagulia8626]

I always enjoy your videos, but it's Sweetie that keeps me coming back. :-)

[@Lex10999]

Great video guys :) Thanks for sharing your setup and how you modified it to accommodate you and your animals. :)

[@didibolter9362]

Excellent job!!!

[@rhpatterson27]

Another amazing video, my head is just spinning with ideas. My problem will be I am NOT a handyman like David. Be many of the organizational tips will be handy for us as we purpose our travel trailer later this month!!

[@MrNas921]

I can't stop wayching their video clips

[@sunrisegroup4912]

beautiful home beautiful family! subscribed and supporting!

[@Seareay1]

I saw Great Grains in your pantry. That's my favorite cereal when I eat cereal.

[@nunyabusiness2191]

Omgosh answering all these questions has to be a full time job😳

[@MsZoFro]

I have a Keystone Springdale Summerland model too and I was so irritated when I realized that my bed didn’t have gas springs installed. Lol! It was a much needed add-on!

[@ryancavender7700]

just the list of all the items and links makes this a great video for anyone who wants some of the same things!!

[@techmeister3208]

Great tour. Well done!

[@coorsleftfield]

It seems like a full size van is a way better pull vehicle. You can hold a lot more stuff in it, it can have a security partition and be harder to break into. You can still get a powerful Diesel motor and towing capacity with a van.

[@keepinupjonesy3681]

Great video. I love what you have done. I have a couple ideas that I have done that I would like to share. One is that I found a replacement flex able fiberglass popup tent pole that I attached waist high at each of the 2 back corners of the shower tube, with eyelets. I can swing this arch above the curtain rod for storage and pull it down and let it hang at waist high with a velcro strap to push the closed shower curtain out and give me an additional foot of interior shower room. I hope that makes sense. Two, I purchased a set of T-fal Igenio pots and pans with detachable handles. I keep the complete set stacked in my oven. I love this set. Thanks again for your great videos.

[@JeffPeterson1969]

I will politely disagree with your comments about diesel vs gas. With the current power that can be found in newer, more powerful gas engines with the 10-speed transmission from the Ford/Chevy collab and with additional torque from electric like the Ram e-torque, I think gas has a bright future. Diesel engines are more expensive, heavier, more difficult to service and certify, and combined with the higher fuel cost I just don't think it is as clear as you make it appear. Maybe a good topic for a future video. Keep up the good work and I appreciate your videos.

[@georgefenrich4119]

@18:24 looks like you could put a shelf in there and have more room. As for your Freshwater holding tank. @19:30 USE Bleach 2x a year and get filters BEFORE you fill your tanks. I see lots of people doing this. 28:36 Great job in this area, Love what you have done there with the desk!

[@cenedraleaheldra5275]

Yep your work station is EPIC

[@athroop1321]

Yes been waiting on this video!

[@bobcrifasi5802]

I know this is an older video and my comment probably won't be seen by too many but I wanted to add to the replies any way. I started watching your videos before my wife and I ventured out to the Southwest a couple of months ago. We live on the East side of Pennsylvania so it was about 5,000 miles round trip. We were only gone for about 3 weeks and we explored several of the national parks out there. We had a great time and were prepared for the boondocking that we did thanks to you two. Our rig is a RAM 1500 Hemi and a Keystone Springdale 2020QB. The same floor plan as you guys started with. I was viewing this particular video when we got back because I want to access the water pump compartment and install an accumulator and do some other mods to quiet it down. I could not find it and wanted to see where yours is. You never mention it, at least not in this video. I finally found ours and looked at this video again, and I think yours is in the same place. As you were pointing out the components to your solar electrical system I saw some hoses visible at the bottom on the right side of the compartment. The compartment in our rig has a gap at the top of the same panel. I stuck my phone in there and took a picture and eureeka a positive ID on the pump. I'll pry that panel off and make an access opening for the project and future access. PS I saw a comment in another video from some "gentleman" taking you to task regarding animals in relation to vegetarianism. My wife and I are vegetarians as well, however it makes my blood boil when some folks make a decision for themselves, then make it a point to take others to task for not following the same path. You handled your reply to him quite well. I would have put this part of my comment with the appropriate video but I could not find it again. Also I have an idea for "expanding" the bathroom. I'll let you know how it comes out when I get a chance to do it.

[@bobcrifasi5802]

OOPS I just looked again and saw the vegan comment at the end of these comments ! :)

[@FateUnbound]

Hi Bob! We're so glad you enjoyed your trip and weren't afraid to boondock, it really is the best way to stay in my honest opinion 😁 Let us know how everything is going, we look forward to hearing from you again
