TIME FOR A CHANGE: We're SELLING OUR RV! Restoring Rocky back to factory... | Full-time RV Life

[@mjmohn]

Rocky sold. Your new rig is a Teardrop towed by the Jeep. Yes, you are making a downsizing change. Can't wait for the movie. Happy trails.

[@vlunceford]

We are soon to put our first motor home on the market so I’ll be following with interest both to see the sale process and what you buy next. Ours is a 2017 Allegro Open Road 36LA, and we will be shopping for a diesel pusher once it’s sold. Good luck!

[@patricksmovinon61]

Definitely buy it! They would have the peace of mind knowing it has been truly cared for and maintained properly the entire time. That's the scariest part when buying used...and you take that piece out of the picture! CONGRATULATIONS!!

[@latada2198]

Of course they bought it! If I were in the market for a used coach I would love to buy from you guys! Because I know how you guys take such care and pride in what you own. These are definitely exciting times! All the very best!

[@andychops]

I definitely feel your anxiety, I just downsized from a class A DP to a truck camper! Gave up a lot of space and creature comforts but in trade I get tons more flexibility. Any reservations I had are now gone and I have no regrets, and I have no doubt it'll be the same for you.

[@MingoMoon]

I am so glad you mentioned the RV Branding and the Insurance of those RV’s that are branded and they are getting an income from the brand, as those would then be considered a business and not a recreational vehicle. I saw that on the escapes webinar and found that very interesting.

[@meetmrandmrsrobinson]

I wish you lots of good luck with your new journey. It was also great meeting y'all last year at Joshua Tree.

[@claudettemonty4077]

I love your Rocky because I t the same colour and floorplan plan almost like my Dutch Star, Newmar! We had to sell it, like you do. I hope you will love the new one better than me. We bought it to fast!

[@UNROOTME]

This brings me back to when we sold our fifth-wheel. I was so excited to move on to the next chapter of our life and then the day came that we pulled away from it and broke down in tears. : ( Happy we moved on today though. : )

[@julieh3327]

Looking forward to see what your next RV will be! I don’t think you will have any problems selling your RV.

[@rn-rvchronicles]

NO WAY>>>>>YOU DID NOT!!! LOL!! Miss you guys!! Can't wait to see what's next?? Be Blessed!!!

[@dorothyethridge8408]

Where did you have your Roamaster Invisibrake installed?

[@StarOne311]

I said to my Husband> A Diesel Pusher is your next one! I can't wait to see it! What a cliff hanger at the end!! If I were to live in a Motorhome year round for many years I would get a Diesel Pusher.

[@kerryloper6142]

Looks like you took real good care of your coach. I’m sure someone snagged it already!! That’s my vote.

[@pamela15932]

Can't wait to hear all about your new home.

[@joansrvadventures6112]

What do you use to remove all the sticky stuff left after removing the stickers?

[@Rvlove]

If you mean the stickers from the outside of Rocky, most came off without needing much of anything but some stickers were stubborn and came off with "Goof Off"

[@JJUrdzela]

After watching your video about the Sumo Shocks. Have they held up and remained as good as your first impressions? Hopefully I will be in my first motor home... soon!

[@Rvlove]

Yes, we had the Sumo Springs on the coach for a couple years and loved them as much the day we sold them, as the day we got them. We now drive an older diesel coach. here is a post about it. rvlove.com/2018/07/23/first-rv-tour-introducing-our-new-to-us-motorhome-cc/

[@dannychisholm1131]

Wish you nothing but success in whatever you choose. Very exciting. We've had gas and DP coach's. Prefer DP for comfort and power although they are more money. Everyone has what they consider the best. Have friends that bought the Class B on a sprinter chassis. Now they are looking for something with more room. Our newest coach is almost 39' and not too big. Of course drive whatever you are considering and then sit in it and imagine yourself inside for extended periods and of course like you guys, living in it. Make sure bathroom has enough room and if you bend over at the sink your head doesn't hit the cabinet. Ours has a bath and a half, can't live without that now according the happy wife.

[@Rvlove]

Thanks Danny - just everyone has to find the best RV for them - such a personal choice! Glad you found one that works for you and look forward to sharing our update very soon!

[@jamesstein5952]

Enjoy your vids Good Luck on new coach...Look forward to the new mods.

[@janicevoss864]

I’m sure they bought your Rockie!🤞Sad, but happy too. Really exciting times. Hope you will be as happy with your new home as you have been the last four years. We can hardly wait to get our motorhome we ordered and get out on the road. Are you both tired from all the work you have been doing on the Nomad movie? We can’t wait to see it!! The weather in Texas looked brutal. Good luck on your new adventures next year. It sounds really exciting. Happy Trails! 😊💕

[@billlong5979]

The longer I sit in one place, the longer it takes to pack up to leave. I swear stuff just crawls out of cabinets and drawers on its own.

[@Rvlove]

I've noticed that too Bill (Julie)

[@RerisVlog]

Nice rig Where did u buy your sticker?

[@Rvlove]

Thank you. Assuming you are talking about our RVLove stickers... those were made for us by a friend, but he does not do it commercially. -M

[@wcarlhepker4806]

What a relief! I saw the title and thought you had decided to sell Rocky and build a house or something like that. I have missed you guys since you quit putting out travelogue videos and have been waiting for resumption. What a relief it is to hear that you are replacing Rocky with a newer coach! If I were to guess, I would guess a newer diesel pusher. Since you just bought that Jeep capable of being towed four down, I doubt you would be buying a travel trailer or fifth wheel. Diesel pusher and resumption of travelogue videos is my guess/hope.

[@davidbrickey5925]

Happy for you guys getting a new rig. Or for a better word a new home

[@susanc1265]

What exactly did you do to personalize the dining area? The table you had put in...how was it attached to the RV? Where did you get it? Thanks!

[@susanc1265]

I’m sorry, I missed the video showing all that info! Found it now!

[@tracyk.8306]

Really excited about your changing rigs and can’t wait to see what you’ll be driving next. I’m hazarding a guess here that could the next rig be a Newmar? I bet Rocky was snapped up by one of those potential buyers. You’ve taken such great care of the RV! By the way, really love your reef fish sheet set...beautiful! Looking forward to your next video!

[@Desertfox92308]

You're not going to have any problems selling such a clean, well maintained coach! I am guessing a smaller B+ van is in your future? Maybe on a Sprinter chasis...

[@timrover]

WOW, this is exciting can't wait to see the new reveal. Change is always good because it keep the mind looking forward! NICE!

[@HulaShack1]

I think they bought it. Can't wait to see what you will buy next!

[@stanleysadventres]

Great video as always, can't wait to see what you will get as a new rig. If 3M is watching this, SPONSOR THEM

[@Rvlove]

Haha right!?

[@hermes6587]

What am I missing? In the beginning of the video you mentioned how much you love your coach, how well it has performed for you with few problems, yet you are selling it for a new one. I was waiting to hear it was too small or too big or the floor plan does not work for you all good reasons to make a change.

[@Rvlove]

It's just time for a change Bruce as our lifestyle and needs have changed - we will be sharing more in next videos, it's a journey.

[@seabliss22]

Can you explain in a little more detail regarding the insurance issue with branding your vehicle please?

[@Rvlove]

Yes our agent said if we were ever in an 'incident' and an assessor came out to take photos and discovered website/company branding on the RV, they could potentially deny the claim, as it's not insured as a commercial vehicle. Best you contact your own insurer for specific advice if you're considering branding too. If it's a personal blog that isn't a biz/income generating source, it's probably not that big of a deal...but for us it was just a risk we weren't willing to take.

[@seabliss22]

RVLove | Marc & Julie Bennett thanks for explaining that. Something I had never considered. Not that I even have a KZbin channel but I have considered getting my vehicle wrapped with advertising for an income 🤔

[@Rvlove]

Yes just call your insurer to get the facts first before doing it

[@pupcamper58]

Can’t wait to see what happens

[@steveharkins279]

I'll place my bet on an Allegro Red 37BA on the Freightliner chassis. And the sofabed on the passenger side will come out to become the new office. Bath and a half hard to turn down. Let's start a pool, I'm in for $10.

[@Rvlove]

You mean the 37PA? That's a nice floorplan... yes start the betting pool! LOL

[@steveharkins279]

Meh, 37PA has no place for an office and only single bath. The 37BA, 38QBA & 38QRA all have the couch that can (come out) to become the office. with his and hers' baths. Mocha cabinets, white tops/floor. That is a tough trio for the bet. After some thought, I believe it will be the 38QBA as it was discontinued for a couple years and you liked it, now it is back. My future, I am doing a super C swap to an F750 "Crew" chassis www.ford.com/content/dam/vdm_ford/live/en_us/ford/nameplate/f-650-750/2019/collections/exterior_gallery/3-2/C7415317_COMF_650_750_PowertrainCutaway_mj_32.jpg/jcr:content/renditions/cq5dam.web.1280.1280.jpeg on a 2004 Tioga 28R body. Taking on the outback BLM, 22.5 tire, to ford rivers. 30,000 Lbs of chassis.With an electric locking positraction dually.

[@steveharkins279]

Ok like, I will double down $20 it is a 38QBA, it is as far as it can go in chassis before hitting tag axle limit.And who wants another 2 tires to feed, nobody.

[@bobshaw4063]

What a surprise . I didn't think you would sell Rocky so soon .

[@bobshaw4063]

Where are you going to live if Rocky sells before you find a new rig ? May I ask where and when did ya's meet and how long have ya's been married ? Have ant family members & friends ever traveled with you since you've had your coach & is it your first coach ?

[@Rvlove]

Hi Bob, Time flies - it's been 4 years! :)

[@Rvlove]

We have a ton of points we can use for free hotel stays. We met in 2010 while living in Colorado on eHarmony, been married since 2011. Rocky is our first coach, and the first week we had her, Julie's Dad and his wife visited from Australia and we took them to Breckenridge, CO for a couple of days in the coach - had a great time!

[@marcm2053]

Still thinking Entegra? Or a 4369?

[@roryroberts3787]

I hope not Entegra, the company has been sold again this time to Thor, and they do not have a great reputation. 4369? a Dutch Star, much better bet....

[@Rvlove]

Love them both but way out of out budget Marc!

[@opaandomascampingadventures]

Good Luck with the sale. Its a great looking coach and you wont have trouble selling "rocky"

[@buildfixflip]

We are looking to put a sticker in the back bumper of our trailer! BUT I will need to be conscious of not cutting off anyone so they don't come hating in our channel haha

[@Rvlove]

Haha good thinking!

[@mettahuttravels3183]

Good luck Guys 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇦🇺

[@MarneenZahavi]

Nice. Looking forward to the update.

[@mlatham100]

Congrats Y'all!!! We are selling ourTiffin and going to a Newmar.. Just can't do the carpet anymore. Julie,,, Mt Comfort has a used 2018 Dutch Star that has a MUST HAVE OPTION for you!! The entire kitchen raises and lowers with a button!! Check it out on their KZbin channel.

[@rebellucy5610]

Michael Latham They better have some serious $$ for a Dutchstar. They are great coaches, but cost more than a house.

[@mlatham100]

I AGREE THEY ARE NOT CHEAP! click on the link below to see the kitchen that can be lower.

[@brendanowlin3143]

Newmar Dutchstar 37’ diesel...because that is the one that I want. I think yes they bought it.

[@rshacktravels1250]

Careful with those pillows Julie. You don’t want to strain yourself 😀

[@thweetyj]

It seems to me that the natural progression for you would be a SAILBOAT

[@Rvlove]

Oh boy! That would be a big leap for us... our legs aren't that long! LOL

[@jim-uu2db]

Declutter will help to show anything, house or rv sell quicker.

[@karenlangendonk4709]

Congratulations on selling! We just sold our 43’ DP this past May. Took three weeks. Bought a new 5th wheel with a desk area, important feature. Solar installed and ready to hit the road at roadtripimages.com

[@Rvlove]

Congrats!

[@jeff953]

Are you going back to brick and mortar?

[@Rvlove]

Nope, definitely not

[@MichaelBrown-kk6ck]

Guess I gotta guess what you're up to next... My hope is for a good quality FW as I'd love to see your perspectives on that. I'd hope you don't follow Wynns & Technomadia into boat-land. They seem to be having a great time of it but their RV content has pretty much dried up, which I find unfortunate as that's what I followed them for. As for me I've been planning on getting a FW in two years but with the adopting of three cats last fall I'm reconsidering whether a MH might be better for them. I could shut them in the bedroom on travel days which might be less traumatic than transferring them back & forth between trailer & truck.

[@Rvlove]

There are some nice fifth wheels out there and we have certainly considered those too. We appreciate Gone with the Wynns and Technomadia for all of the RV content they so generously shared with us all and learned a ton from them. We understand their desire for new adventures and wish them every happiness on the water! But we won't be getting a boat. We know people with both MHs and FWs and TTs with cats and each option seems to work well for them, guess it depends on the cats...

[@gosman949]

I would want the office too!

[@ncylee4]

So exciting!!! We had that exact same year/model. We loved it and have enjoyed so much watching you travel with “our” Tiff. We stopped camping for a few years to pour $$ into universities, (3 kids in college ☺️) and now back in the market. Just bought a new Ram truck and shopping for Lance travel trailer. Best of luck selling your Tiff, and also getting your new rig. So exciting!!!

[@timstretton3174]

ncylee4 same here about the Lance. I feel that Lance makes the best trailers on the road. Good luck in your search.

[@ncylee4]

Timothy B thanks so much! From what we can tell, they seem like a great trailer.

[@Rvlove]

We have heard great things about Lance too.

[@LifewithKenandJane]

I am always looking at a new Phoenix cruiser. And then I think ( if it ain’t broke don’t fix it) good luck

[@richardc488]

I am not sure if they bought it.

[@brianhubbard6423]

Prevost or Newell custom coach next?

[@Rvlove]

mmmmm nice!

[@bobshaw4063]

What a tease you are . LOL !! Good luck. O will be looking forward to the reveal vlog . Cheers Julie & Marc .

[@Rvlove]

hahaha thanks Bob

[@bobshaw4063]

Your welcome

[@CandaceRvingft]

Am hanging on the news on what is your NEXT coach ;)

[@contimusic8357]

Awesome, you have a new sub!

[@Rvlove]

Hello and welcome!

[@DnSAdventures]

Good luck guys! Looks like a lot of work in the meantime haha. Have a good one - Shane

[@briangasser973]

Come join the Newmar family. I can see you in a New Aire.

[@russpottenger4674]

I'm betting on the DP. Yeah baby!

[@debbiefromillinois532]

Sold!

[@NicholasGlenski]

Buy a Nexus RV there nice RVs

[@vickimarquart2069]

A Diesel Pusher next?

[@rebellucy5610]

$$$$$

[@lcseds]

With the revenue from the blog/you tube channel, sponsored links etc, the diesel should be easy enough for them.

[@floydcooley1]

Such a teaser. I'm betting you guys stay in a class A. Probably diesel. And guessing a slight downsize.

[@johnhirsekorn2810]

Yes, they buy it because they can see how conscientious you guys are about all the details. You are the kind of owners buyers only dream of... labeled bags... come on! :)

[@dancooper1422]

Painting the Bedroom. Ha ha. Glad you are not coming off the road.

[@TheDUNLOP6]

I bet Kansas buys it

[@swabbievet]

If the price was right I bet it's sold.

[@brendaschroeder2166]

I think they will buy. Beautiful coach

[@nfoss5656]

I’m excited to see the new RV. I think they bought it.

[@elizabethlarose3632]

They bought it!

[@vickimarquart2069]

Country Coach?????

[@adriannurse1502]

I bet they buy it. ☺

[@GJRoamingRolling]

Ok, so you keep saying it's a great RV and you're so sorry to let it go, but you fail to mention a very important factor: why are you selling it then?? Don't you think everyone is wondering why?? We think you should definitely address that, because we assure you that everybody watching this video is wondering that very same thing. Safe travels. :)

[@Rvlove]

Of course everyone is wondering why :) and of course we will address that :) We have more videos coming - this is a journey we're sharing here... it's a huge change for us! All will be revealed... and you will get more videos :)

[@debmarie55]

Stay tuned for more episodes ❤️

[@richardpercell1997]

Are you going to offer a sales offer on the old coach?

[@MrNaomitherealtor]

I am sure it is sold and you are going Diesel...

[@JMyers9518]

😢 We started following you when we bought our (new-to-us) ‘15 Allegro Open Road 34TGA. Based on your recommendation we had Sumo Springs installed along with other changes due to the similarity of our respective RV’s. Not sure what we will do now. Anxiously awaiting your next videos.

[@jim-uu2db]

Jeffery Myers geezzzz get a life.

[@RVFreeDa]

I think you will sell it!

[@Forest_Actual]

I think you should buy a travel trailer.

[@Rvlove]

Why?

[@Forest_Actual]

LOL just teasing y'all, Class A's are cool!

[@Rvlove]

:)

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

It could be that the buyers may of like your changes and not wanted the way it was when you bought it...

[@Rvlove]

The buyers coming from Kansas wanted the office, but we doubt our decorating taste would have been the same as theirs

[@geraldhenrickson7472]

Or not. Works either way. Better to have it mostly stock and ready to sell...

[@MichaelBrown-kk6ck]

Rather hate to see you restoring Rocky, would have considered buying pretty much as it was, with office space, no TV, modified dinette, etc. Oh well...

[@Rvlove]

We know another couple selling a coach identical to Rocky - year, color and all. But they still have the bunkhouse intact. You could follow out video/blog post to convert it - let us know if you would like us to connect you with them to discuss.

[@marianjacobs5597]

First to comment - The motorhome is clean, well cared for and well known so of course, your potential buyer will purchase your home and I think your office will be a great selling point. Can't wait to see what you get next. GOOD LUCK PEOPLE

[@rebellucy5610]

Marian Jacobs I would keep the office too. All the other stuff I would get rid of.

[@richardpercell1997]

Curious about the number 8 or infinity symbol on your leg? Is that an interesting story? The number of wives before this one? HA!

[@suzettecalleja3122]

why would you put everything back to the original. the next owners might of liked it the way you had it. I know I would of liked the way you had it ESPECIALLY the bedroom.

[@Rvlove]

Generally, especially with newer RVs, people like it as close to factory as possible as it makes them feel like they are getting a 'new' coach. Don't think anyone else would have liked the dining area as much as we did as the table was pretty small, and that bedroom decor was pretty personal too. The new owners had different taste to us

[@iFriendofYours]

Music was annoying.

[@loiscassels8966]

If you love it so much, why are you leaving it?

[@Rvlove]

It's served us well for almost 4 years... we've been putting off changing because we love it and it's worked well for us, but our needs have changed from when we first hit the road and we're ready for a new and different experience, especially as we plan to be RVing for the long term. Just like we loved the MINI and then switched to a Jeep. Loved them both for different reasons, times, needs, preferences.

[@loiscassels8966]

RVLove | Marc & Julie Bennett Variety is the spice of life, so they say! Hope you love your next vehicle just as much.

[@Rvlove]

Thank you!

[@Davidipac]

Please don't buy a boat. All our favorite people seem to go this route to the disappointment of their fans.

[@Rvlove]

We can assure you 100% - no make that 1,000% - we are NOT taking up boating! RVing for us :)

[@jb6249]

get a nice electric drill, your not building a house. ha ha

[@n1spirit]

What??? Regarding the payment of any claim being affected because of the presence of stickers advertising your KZbin channel is RIDICULOUS. I mean, seriously, I don't even know how they could justify that. Were I a KZbinr and I had a claim on my rig that was initially declined because of some ridiculousness like that I'd take the insurer to court and as well, invite every media outlet interested in covering the ensuing circus.

[@Rvlove]

I think the difference in our case was that when we first started our KZbin channel, it was a hobby, like most people. but when I left my regular job and we focused full time on our online school and other online revenue. The case that the insurance company could make is that our RV is now a commercial vehicle. Not having commercial insurance on our RV could open up gray area. We wouldn't have interest in a court battle or circus, so it was much easier to simply remove our branding stickers.

[@n1spirit]

@@Rvlove - Good point. (To be honest I problably wouldn't be interested in a circus either (LOL) but when I first heard you say a rep of the insurance company had actually said they could use that as an excuse not to provide coverage (pay out on a claim) you had already paid for it made me angry. Seemed like such a cheep shot. I still don't agree that they should be able to but I understand your reasoning. Safe travels, y'all! ;-)

[@valamonica]

My Lord, you had stuff in a storage unit?

[@Rvlove]

We rented one temporarily to put some things during our transition.

[@hdlowrider5413]

Let me guess the new one is gonna be a diesel. If you love it so much why sell? Gotta love insurance companies🙄👎.

[@valamonica]

Are you going smaller? I sure would.

[@Rvlove]

That's the things about RVs isn't it - everyone has to do what is right for them

[@aniblair9650]

If you love her, why sell her?

[@joanhall3718]

Down size!!!
