The (Dark) Side Of RV Living The Media Won't Show You

[@williamcole3865]

Great video and spot on. Every point you made is what my wife and I experienced after 4 years of full-time RV living. I retired at 58 and we sold our lovely house to hit the road. We had all the amenities, washer/dryer, dishwasher, and a reasonable amount of space in our 40-foot 5th wheel. As time went on, I found myself spending many days doing major repairs -slides, plumbing, hydraulics, you name it. We found it difficult to schedule doctor appointments, we began feeling isolated, missing routine contact with family and close friends. We now own a house and a travel trailer, we. Keep our long travels to 2-3 weeks maximum. We have discovered or visited many places in State that we didn't even know existed. Even after 2 weeks, we are ready to get back to our home. It all sounds great, but when you add up the emotional costs, the expense, and the time investment, it's a tough life to lead. Thanks or such a well thought and honest assessment of full time RV life.

@@exploringnext1111in our case, we didn’t sell our house to finance our traveling. We planned ahead and were fortunate enough to be able to fund our travels. We didn’t suffer financially and wouldn’t trade those 4 years for anything. When we stopped full timing, it was for many of the reasons elucidated in the video. Everyone’s situation is different.

For some of us, an RV is the only affordable roof to own. Rental is ridiculous, unstable (as you'll never own your home, if it sells your out on your can, monthly rate goes up exponentially, etc), and unsustainable for most people. It's pretty sad when even renting is a pipe dream. An RV can cost around $300/month to buy, but an apartment can cost $2000/month or more to RENT

[@zechariah1398]

My wife and I sold our house in 2017 and have been living in our 5th wheel. There are times we miss the room but almost 8 years later we still call it home and miss it when we go visit and stay with the kids.

[@Doinsomethindifferent]

we've been full time RV for almost 2 years now. We absolutely love being in the small space (tiny mansion) I love that I can cook dinner and still be a apart of the family shenanigans im not isolated doing laundry or cooking dinner. My husband and I get along well and don't argue much at all. I usually just follow his lead because he knows better then I do, this lifestyle made us happier, grateful and our kids absolutely love it too. Exploring the new campgrounds, new states, new areas, new amenities. It's been a great adventure so far and we have no interest in stopping!

[@agratefulsoul2816]

This is one of the most honest videos I've seen regarding RV life. We have been full-time RVERS for over 3.5 years. We researched for 5 years before selling our home and buying a used Super C. Everything you discuss in this video hit home with us. FYI, we have RVd for about 30 years, so we weren't newbies when we went full-time. We are both retired. We crisscrossed this country and have seen SO much! The experiences have been fantastic! And yes, the breakdowns and health concerns are real, too. We landed in Sierra Vista, AZ, on January first. Health issues have kept us here, and we traded in our motorhome 2 months ago on a beautiful 5th wheel to be stationary in an RV park. I am a camp host here, and this works well for us. We will travel back to the Midwest next spring and then return here in late summer. We all need to do what's best for ourselves. And be at peace with it. We've never been exactly mainstream, and I doubt we ever will. We live our lives and live our faith, and trust God to put us where He needs us. We believe He has done that. Thanks for this video.

Excellent video. We have RV’d for over 40 years , starting in the ‘80’s. We’ve traveled nearly 300,000 miles in that time, but we never thought full timing worked for us, for all the reasons you’ve stated. Seven years ago,as we approached retirement, we reduced our workload and made 4-6 week long trips, visiting places and family. One size does not fit all but for us, now retired, we like 4-8 weeks out, then back to our home for 4-8 weeks. It still allows us to experience adventures but have a place to keep our “stuff”, spread out, take care of maintenance, etc. We love it, but it’s not cheap, and we hope to continue for as many years as we can handle Thank you for an excellent video.

[@sitapkseverson861]

I am disappointed to see some of the comments ripping into this family. Just because they are making their life work for them doesn’t take away from their wisdom of living the in’s and out’s of full time RV living. This is yet, another season they are in and still willing to share their experience. Now they are bad (greedy) people for wanting to continue to support their family while sharing their wisdom? I surely don’t think so. For those of who made the comments about their upcoming cruise and not subsidizing other people’s travel, I want you to realize that this is a very common practice across many industries. People get paid for their time and expertise. I imagine this will be a super fun trip with a lot of socializing but there is so much for participants to gain that it’s outrageous to me to think that they can’t have fun and get paid for their time. People grow, evolve and change. We should be grateful they have allowed us into all the nuances of their experiences and support them…or not. But bashing them for being real is more of a reflection on you than them. Just disconnect and go find a channel that suits you better. No big deal if they aren’t a fit for you anymore but being nasty towards them isn’t useful for anyone.

Interesting point of view, thanks. We are retired and live in the Northern Scottish Highlands, we have a caravan (travel trailer for you in the USA). We go on fairly local trips with our caravan as well as longer trips lasting several months. For example we travel to the south of Portugal and Spain and other European countries. We have even done a couple of trips from home down to North Africa, Morocco, for the winter. That is a round trip of over 5,500 miles on a trip of 4 months. We love being away, but it always nice to return home after a long trip. When we get home it isn't long before I have the fun of planning our next trip. We have the fun of the adventures, and the comfort and security of having a physical home (sticks and bricks I think you call it).

Hi, I think life itself is an adventure. I find adventure everywhere I go, whether at the dentist office or at Stone Mountain you can make every moment of your life an adventure. I make playing chess to feel like an adventure in my life, when I go to a gym that too I make it feel like an adventure, as I make and drink coffee in the morning that`s an adventure for me as well. I went on a cruise to the Bahamas and of course that was a tremendous adventure to me. I remember years ago as I was living up in South Beach Miami and it started to comedown one day I made it an adventure as I decided to take off my shirt and went out to wash myself walking and jumping on the streets in the midst of a torrential rain. So as you can see you dont need to go to out and live full time VanLife to be able to live an adventurous life, great video, I hope your are living a fullfilling life after your experience as a nomad living full time on an RV several years on the road.

I struggle with leaving this comment but felt it a valid statement. You say you are now a hybrid rver. The reality is that you live in a sticks and bricks and vacation in an RV. Like many others. And that is fine. However your channel was to inspire and give helpful ideas to those who are fulltimers and now I feel you are using the platform because it is monetized and you don't want to lose the income. It is misleading and feels like you want your cake and eat it too.

If a person’s goal is to live on the road in the same manner that they lived stationary, well um yeah, it’s gonna cost similar. Then add all the fuel, entrance fees, alternative this-and-that and it’s expensive. Older equipment usually needs maintenance more often, etc. I don’t understand why people think that being on the road would be cheaper. I save when I want by sitting still for a time because fuel and maintenance is expensive. ❤ I choose not to eat out as much and so on. Choices!

[@Doinsomethindifferent]

being full timers for almost 2 years I agree with this. It's not as cheap as people think. It depends what road you take. Does the rig have a payment or not, older rig more maintenance, stationary vs travel costs. It's how you do it.

Try living on a houseboat in a marina. Oh doesn't that sound so cool? First off, at most marinas, full-time liveaboards are around 7 to 8 percent of the boats so during the week it is ususally really quiet IN THE FALL AND WINTER!!! Summer and much of Spring, people are coming and going all the time and slips in marinas are maybe 2 1/2 feet apart - the width of a finger-dock that you share so you're "neighbor" that just pulled in and is half-drunk and feeling rowdy, yelling at his mates or wife and kids is just that close. So much for quiet. Then there's Friday and Saturday that during the warmer months, you have invited guests (and uninvited ones) that party like it's 1999 all night long. Yeah, quiet. Oh, and my marina had a restaurant/bar that people in the area liked - they did have good food - but these people packed the parking lot, so if you did leave AND YOU LIVED THERE, you might not find a parking space when you came back! And boats have the same basic issues of RV'ers - potable water on-board that you have to fill from YOUR OWN food grade really long hose because each dock had two spigots so unless your slip is right next to it and mine wasn't, you have a 100 foot hose running from the spigot back to the boat. I did have shore power which was easy enough, but was too poor to buy solar panels at that time, though at the time, a few boats had wind power for off-shore power (no problem with wind if you are in a moving boat!). Other problems were very low water levels - my boat settled into the muddy bottom of the river when there was a droughty year and listed just abit to one side. Can't level a boat!!! The opposite - flood levels were reached a couple of times - the giant/tall moorings that held the docking in place and the docks where our boats were tied - most of the time they were hugely soaring above our heads but in flooding waters on the river - those pilings were like two feet above the docks - TWO FEET!!! Oh, and the marina I was in didn't have a very good way to get from the dock to the shore when previously it was less than a four foot walk to the lower parking lot (which was now underwater) to about 20 feet over at least 50 feet of water beneath a 2 1/2 foot wide metal "ladder" style walkway with rungs you could look through and see all that water NO RAILINGS. So...want to talk about the (dark) side? I can match you story for story about living on a houseboat!!!

People like the idea of travelling full time. Not living in an RV. I think that's where the disconnect is for many. You can travel full time many different ways. We have been travelling for two years, but have a home to come back to and would never sell it. In fact, if you own property you should probably never sell it anyway. Rent it out, sure. Or let your adult kids stay there. I would never buy a new RV or fifth wheel. Absolute waste of money. As far as repairs - everything breaks.

Make sure you get the insurance especially medical. God forbid an accident/illness happens that requires hospitalization or medical helicopter transport. The insurance can save you thousands of dollars in an emergency situation. Also things can happen on excursions that can cause you to be late getting back to the ship. The ship could leave and you will have to find your own way to get back to the ship, so it's good to have an emergency credit card with you just in case when leaving the ship. Don't be scared, be prepared! You will LOVE Alaska, it is so beautiful. We did a zip line through the forest, horse back riding, went to Mendenhall Glacier and more.

My husband and I are retiring in 8 months, we are in the process of selling everything, we have enjoyed camping in various rvs for the last 20 yrs, we have sat down and figured our budget and what our needs will be, we also have a 30 yr old cognitively impaired daughter and an 85 yr old mother with Alzheimer's. We have property to come back to for 6 months of the yr to visit kids and grandkids, we are also looking into possibly putting a small home on the property, or purchasing a small home, with proceeds from the sale of our home, down south in case of an emergency because of mom. Rv life is not for everyone, but my husband is a mechanic and very handy when doing renovations, yes something will go wrong or breakdown, but it will also do so if we stay in our home, we plan on enjoying the rest of our lives, we have worked hard all our lives, we earned it. We have planned on this for the last 5yrs. We are not crazy, just ready to move in to the next phase of our lives and plan on enjoying it ups and downs and in betweens in our 36ft class A . We still have too much energy to sit at home in our rocking chairs waiting for the end.

The American come Up with a new concep of living RV lifestyle can not be viable. The RV park owners can turn shipping container into an RV for rent a few hundred dollar a month even better than RV . People just drive their car with luggage come and live for a few weeks or a few months. Why do you need to drag a massive RV like a truck with you from state to state ? to show the world you have a hundred thousand dollar asset not poor and homeless? 😂

I think making young kids live in an RV is child abuse.

[@rrrrkoop2776]

lol, I hope you are joking. we have homeschooled all of our nine children , each of them up to 9th or 10th grade then their choice. we traveled with them to over 1/2 of the country. they are more grounded, full of common sense, all grown now, 3 went to college but all are fully independant making well over average income. all still love adventure, all ski, wakeboard, snowboard, love life.

[@Formaldehydex]

@@rrrrkoop2776 @ Then you got lucky after intentionally depriving them of their childhoods and social lives away from you. One teenager recently spoke up about her own abuse under such conditions. I am certain there are many. What qualifications do you have to teach K12 besides likely being a religious fanatic.

[@tammycaruso3083]

​@Formaldehydex you do not have to be a religious fanatic to want to home school your children, many websites help you to homeschool your children. Many schools are not equipped to deal with children that are highly intelligent, they do not challenge them. They also are not well equipped or educated enough to deal with mentally challenged students. Homes schooling while full time in an rv traveling gives them more information than looking at things in a book in the classroom. That one child you are talking about sounds spoiled, like many children these days they feel entitled to have everything their way. There are thousands who would love to be able to travel constantly and be able to see the world in person. I personally would have loved to see more than just my state growing up. You have your life they have theirs, don't criticise just because someone has not chosen your path. Move on and follow a channel you enjoy, maybe a homebody channel?
