We Bought an RV Lot! | RV America Y'all

We Bought an RV Lot in South Florida
Last week, we announced that we were making 3 big changes. The 3rd of those changes is that we bought an RV lot!
After almost 5 years as full-time RVers, it was time for us to make a change. In this video, we give you a tour of the RV resort lot that we bought. We'll show you what it looked like on the day that we bought it and what it looks like today after we've completed several projects to make it our own.
You may be surprised that we bought an RV lot. We know there will be a lot of questions about this decision.
Some of the questions we answer in this video:
Why did we buy a homebase?
What type of RV homebase did we choose?
Why did we choose to buy in an RV owner resort?
Why did we buy an RV lot in Florida?
How does owning an RV lot effect our lives as full-time RVers?
Will we still be traveling?
How did we decide which owner RV resort was right for us?
How did we pick the lot that we bought?
Is owning an RV lot an investment?
Are we still domiciled in Texas or are we Florida residents now?
We are excited to add our new RV lot into our travels. For more info and links to our local contractors, visit our website: rvamericayall.com/our-new-rv-lot
If you missed last week's video, you can watch it here: • We're Making 3 Big Cha...
🤠 Thanks For Watching!
We are Tom and Stacie Langland, known for 10 years as RV Texas Y'all.
We are Native Texans and Full-Time RVers who are all about exploring the Great State of Texas and America one campground at a time. We're on a mission to experience life, not just live it and we're bringing you along for the fun.
In 2018, we sold our house, our business and gave away just about everything we own to hit the road and see America. Our home is a 33' motorhome named Freedom. We installed an extreme solar and lithium battery setup so now we can camp just about anywhere with our dog (Star) and our cat (Astro).
Every day is a new adventure, so join us as we RV America Y'all.
Safe Travels and Happy Camping!

Hey Y'all! Happy Sunday! We hope you enjoy this peak at our new RV lot. We are so excited to roll our little slice of paradise into our travels. For more, visit our website: rvamericayall.com/our-new-rv-lot .

[@jimbertrand2499]

Hahaha!! I saw you donate those golf clubs 3 years ago Stacie!! Congratulations! Enjoy!!

[@kath4264]

I'm happy for you two, we've lived in Florida since the early 50's and we've always loved it! Hope you do, too...even the tropical storms. I took a peek at your place and it's started us thinking-always a bad idea, haha- but we could do the same thing. Thank you for putting your life out there, you're way braver than I am!

[@edthompson3892]

As former owners of Lot 386 NW Boundary Dr, Port St. Lucie, FL - It was such a pleasure watching your video. We (Ed & Nancy Thompson) miss it and the friends we made during our 4 years of ownership. The first tiki hut was one of the last upgrades we made to the lot before we sold out and moved back to SC. Enjoy your time on lot 386.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Y’all, we are loving it hear & this lot is beautiful 🤩

[@eking000001]

Congratulations and welcome to our resort! My name is Beth. My husband, Bob and I live on Lot 345. We have owned our lot since 2005 and we love our resort. You are going to love the people and all of the wonderful activities that we have to offer. We look forward to meeting you when we arrive in the fall!

[@rvamericayall]

Wow, since 2005, that’s awesome! We really look forward to meeting y’all as well!

[@kimberlyhicks3644]

Your tiki is giving me Gilligan's Island vibes. I love it, you're such an inspiration to so many by living your best lives and sharing it with us. Congrats and God bless you!

[@togetherwegotravel9908]

First time commenting, but my husband and I have followed you guys for a couple of years now and just this weekend we finished bingewatching the Complete RV Texas Y’all Library Playlist. ❤ You guys are such an inspiration to us, and while I was initially shocked to see you purchasing outside of Texas, the reasoning makes a ton of sense and is definitely something we would consider in your shoes! Thank you for sharing your personal lives and decisions so people like us and share your joys and learn from you! The Texas license plate was a fun and heartwarming surprise. Congratulations!! ❤ Nate & Laura in Texas

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks y’all, wow you were busy this weekend. Hopefully our paths cross one day! Safe travels and happy camping! 🙌🏻

[@marilynscripture6085]

I came back on your site to see if you are near the reported hurricane. I always enjoy watching your videos. I'm praying for you that the bad weather isn't near you and your RV park.

I’m so happy for you two!!! I think you made a very good decision. It looks like you have a beautiful spot and i especially like your outdoor area.

We love watching your channel and look forward to seeing your next episode.

[@judithwilliams257]

Congratulations, y'all! I know you've been thinking about this potential change since the pandemic when you had to worry about hunkering down somewhere when so many locations closed (like all the state parks). I am happy y'all are still Texas registered. We do the same. Even though we own property in NM and pay property taxes there, we are legally still Texas residents for many reasons. God bless and see you down the road!

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Judy, hope to see y’all in November! ❤️

[@bethb5076]

Thanks 😊

[@venture1061]

Oh one more question. How are you able to keep Texas as your domicile while having this property in Florida? We are looking into full-time rving in the next year.

[@venture1061]

OK another one my husband wants me to ask 😆. We have noticed that many of these RV communities are strictly for Class A motorhomes. We are looking to purchase a Super C motorhome. Are you aware of any of these types of communities that allow high-end Super C motorhomes? Thanks again!

[@marychristie6194]

Congratulations 🎉-You pointed out all the reasons we decided not go full time-we decided to keep our house in the PNW and spend the cool summer weather here -also keep the investment in our house-We like Tom have watched our retirement dwindle in the last three years and it is so so disheartening-Life is short so enjoy what you have worked so hard for -We May never get to Florida because that is a far distance for us -Arizona and Texas are the warm spots for winter for us -Texas mostly because our daughter lives in Austin-Have Fun 🎉⭐️🚌🇺🇸

[@leann4925]

So happy for you in getting the RV Lot where you can enjoy life outside of traveling. I do understand about the financial part as I keep my eye out on mine as well. It just breaks my heart as to the way things are going. Here in Spring,TX it seems like every vacant piece of property is taking up for high rise apartments. Plus now when I go out I have to be real mindful of my surroundings. 2920 is becoming another 1960 with strip centers. As a native Texan I have lived in Maryland and Washington ST but came back home after Mom passed away as the oldest of four. Like it has alway been said no matter where you go there is no way you can take Texas out of a Texan. So I do understand. Enjoyed watching and Thanks. Love y'all

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Leann & wow didn’t know 2920 had charged that much! 😊

[@judystreich7333]

I think it makes sense for you guys for many reasons, I personally like it. I could never do it financially, but if it fits for you, hey, why not. Live your life, your way, for you, not what others may think you should be doing. Your health, your plans, your dreams.....enjoy while you can because tomorrow isn’t promised. Congrats.

I’ve always enjoyed your channel and enjoy camping. The thing we enjoy the most is meeting all kinds of people. It doesn’t matter what they are camping in so it hurts my heart to see resorts that exclude everything but a class A. Of course it is free enterprise and capitalism. I love your resort though and will continue to watch. Y’all do a great job show casing America and educating people about RV life. Keep up the good work and good luck with the new semi home.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Rick for your honest opinion. We love meeting all types of people as well and of course don’t care what they travel in as long as they get outside. Like we said, this resort was about the location, amenities & investment (trying not to lose money), we just happen to have a class A and that gave us more to pick from.
