You should win an edit award for best KZbin RV videos. Fantastic job !

[@LivinRVision]

Wow, thanks! I’ve got a lot of improvement to do though to get there, but thank you very much. 🧡

[@gt-c-]

Totally AGREE!!! I will vote for that!

[@user-wp7zn8ii5u]

I like watching your videos when you show how the van looks with you living in it. It gives a sense of what it is like. I also really liked your tips, you think "outside the box". You have convinced my husband and myself that we would enjoy a Class B. Thank you and be safe.

[@KAW5]

Love your music and video editing! Thanks for sharing!

[@cindyball7545]

Michelle hugging her Mom brought tears to my eyes because hubby is retiring in December and that's gonna be me and my mom sometime next year.

[@Grammapro]

Trust me he said. 😳🤣 Your facial expressions are everything! And thanks for the tip on the parks - even a pool nearby 👌

[@cynthiasmith4966]

Oh, Michele! Your phone call and later hugging your Momma brought me to tears!! Thank you for sharing that intimate moment! XXOO

[@tomfuller7401]

Thank you both for your time and effort you put into this channel for all of us viewers to enjoy. Be safe.

[@mikemanjo2458]

Brilliant idea on the door hook! That cinnamon roll looked yummy! Great reminder on city parks. Love you guys! We look forward to Saturday mornings! If you open the mirrored door and back up toward the front, it should function as a full-view mirror. That storm was scary...please stay safe! (Jane in SC)❤️🙏

[@lizcort5047]

Love these last couple of videos, showing life on the road in your class B. Gotta say the tone of this one made me a bit sad. When Michele said hi mom and hugging her mom…..lost my mom almost two years ago and wish I could say hi mom and hug her again. Enjoy all the time you can with your mom….life is really too short.

[@LivinRVision]

We are so sorry for your loss. You are right, we are not promised a tomorrow with our loved ones.

[@janalaughlin2197]

Great tip on the door. And you made me laugh out loud on that zip line in the playground! Love the childlike not childish attitude!

Good to see Iowa! I miss our home state, and our family! Good to see Michelle got to see her mom! If you guys travel to Spearfish, SD. - they have a nice city campground. We stayed there a few years ago. There’s a fish hatchery within walking distance, and the park is huge! Safe travels!

Mom!❤ Oh how I would miss my Mom! Thanks for the hook tips, we just hung acrylic mirrors yesterday on sliding batbroom door both sides for full length & close up with bathroom lights and got suction cup fluorescent light on cabinet mirror! How ironic! Also put a sticky felt tab to keep fridge from hitting Murphy bed in the mornings! 👍🏻12 days in the wilderness at Caspers, feeding wildlife!🐿🐾🐦 Gonna miss them all! Shelley xx Hugs you two! & Don😎

The roll was awesome! We had a great time talking the afternoon away. No gas no awning. LOL Have fun on your trip west, hope you get to see all that you have planned. 😎🤓🥸

[@LivinRVision]

We had so much fun getting to visit with you both! Time sure did fly by and we could have talked for several more hours lol! Take care and maybe we’ll see ya this winter. If not, we’ll definitely contact you when we get back to Des Moines again! 🧡

[@sadielaurentiwhitley3762]

Great video again. I have those lights in all my van drawers and cupboards. I used the command Velcro to attach them vs the magnet it came with. Love those lights.

[@carolmcdaniel7693]

Love the lights! Happy Anniversary! 😊 ❤️

Nice tips guys! Really looking forward to the South Dakota videos! High on my travel bucket list. Always good to watch you on Sun morning sitting on the front porch looking out over the pecan (pa khan) grove! See ya next week!

[@TONYANDBRENDA1969]

Wow that cinnamon roll was crazy! Hey even your sandwiches looked Minnie lol. Great video safe travels

[@marshashannon2330]

Awesome video! Loved seeing how you live in the Grech. Great tips. Can’t wait to see where you go next. P.S. we have a bet on your next rig (or if it will be a house). 😉

Happy Anniversary!!!

Thank you!

[@theglasgownomad6814]

Nice leisurely vlog this week. I didn't realize you had all that space and I see what you mean now with the sewer hose and tear down being so easy. Hope you're both well. Talk soon. Cross into Canada on Monday and doing the "zipline to the falls" on Tuesday.🙏

[@ralphp3057]

Thanks for the ride along! Never been in Iowa ! Stay off those zip lines !!!! Lol 😆😬😁

[@wandrousvindella716]

Nothing like a "grand" time : ) And happy anniversary!

We use those motion lights inside our pantry. We like that they’re rechargeable.

[@gcsaenz1112003]

Do u have a link? Thank you in advance.

[@LivinRVision]

We’ll get a link up soon. We are currently traveling.

[@jeepsandrvs]

Thanks for the Tips and Tricks. Leaving family is hard, but it can hopefully be “see you soon!” My wife and I both commented about you door being open as you pulled out of the campground, not knowing about the latch. Safe Travels!

[@kccamp154]

I hope you have a great time in SD. We thought that was some of the most beautiful part of the country in that area. Have a blast! Safe travels!! 😁👋

[@LivinRVision]

Agree, it really is!

[@hvacman007]

Maybe add reflective film on bath window to reflect heat out

[@IbnAir23]

Love to meet your guys when you come back to Indiana!

[@LivinRVision]

We would love that too! 😊🤓

[@sydneylandry2630]

I have never seen a tuna fish sandwich made like that! Looks delicious!

[@LivinRVision]

Toasting gluten free bread like that makes the bread taste like normal toast. We do that with burgers too. 👍🏻

Love you guys!

[@LivinRVision]

We love you guys too! Hope all is going well with you both. 🧡

@@LivinRVision things are much better. Dora transferred to the hotel so things are much better. 😄

Great video and just how beautiful of a couple you guys are, my favorite people on RV living for sure ❤️ 💕

[@lisapatrick1276]

We just took the bathroom door right off and store it at home, I put up a nice shower curtain because really who yah kidding right lol and the fan in ours is a maniac so it covers any noise or smell 👍🏻. If one wants to pass we take a step back into the curtain, you know it’s like a dance lol 😂

[@barbarasidelko1682]

Michelle love your t-shirt; Pikes Peak. We enjoy traveling about in our van (not full time). We haven’t stayed at any city parks yet. I think I might be experiencing whiplash sympathy pains from the zip line.

[@gwenroireau6203]

🥰 Aww 💓 Michelle and her mom!!!((())))

[@kennyandcandywalker2673]

Lots of good tips even for us 5th wheel owners. We haven't stayed at a City Park yet but probably will. We did stay at a Fairground one time traveling through Colorado and it was nice and quiet. Be safe and catch up with you two next Saturday.

[@atmydesk1948]

[@craftyclarke2514]

Hey there! Don't think I didn't notice the new MERCH! Glad Michelle was able to see her Mom. Precious moments. HUGS. lol Brian, you should probably let Michelle know when your going to do daredevil stuff!

[@LivinRVision]

#livinrvision 😬😉 You are probably right, couldn’t tell ya how many times I have thrown my back out over the years. Lol

[@Banagal]

Excellent editing in this video, especially while traveling. I enjoyed seeing the 360 spot views. The van tour and space tips were great. I especially love the door mirror with the magnetic lights. Will you post the link for the lights in your Amazon store? I need to buy a couple of those. I’m guessing they were from Amazon. I appreciated they functional use of van space for daily use. You both look happy and ready to hit the road. That cinnamon roll was Ji-normas! (Sp?) Bet is was yummy. Glad you got to visit family and friends. It’s a day alright, Saturday, and the clock is ticking. I have an in-person meeting at 10:30 am so best get hoppin’ about. Chow…

[@LivinRVision]

Yes we will post the link for those lights in our Amazon store soon. We’re traveling today. 😊🤓

[@Banagal]

@@LivinRVision I found them on Amazon but will wait to use your link so you will get the benefit.

[@glutenfreejoe6099]

Hey Canyon Bakehouse is my favorite store bought Gluten free bakery products too

It’s the best. The only one that doesn’t taste too bad without toasting it. 👍🏻

[@billpitts1034]

I'm so glad you put the drone video up from the fireworks. Those were awesome! Great times! I see you have a canon guarding your RV. It can get wild at the park. 🤣 Did you sign the waiver before you played on the jungle gym? 😜 You guys are the best.

[@LivinRVision]

😂🤣 We had a great time watching the fireworks with you guys! 🧡

[@davidmalo7509]

Being from Oregon, I really enjoyed this video on Leavenworth. We used to take our RV there in the winter, usually at the same KOA. I’d like to see you make a trip up her to Alaska, so much to see, plan at least a month. June and July are the best months weather wise.

[@LivinRVision]

We’d love to sometime! 👍🏻😊🤓

[@robynidyllwild6755]

Hi there! Wow Brian just wanted to compliment you on your editing skills. I have noticed your skills improve over the years. How do you get the drone up while you are driving out of the campground? Is that Michelle doing some piloting? Also I noticed the dealer plates, if you were to get stopped (not that would happen) how does that work? Do you have a letter stating you are ambassadors, and work for them promoting? Just curious since vehicle (registration) isn’t in your names. That was a giant cinnamon roll! OMG sugar rush! We can’t wait to do some more traveling in our Van! Take Care, Be safe!!

[@LivinRVision]

Thank you! There’s a couple different ways you can do it but I simply just set up the drone facing the direction I want to and I slowly move the joy stick with one hand while driving and then sometimes Michelle will drive while I control it. Yes we have paperwork if (hopefully never) we get stopped.

[@fran2177]

I wondered about that drone shot too 👍🏻😊 thanks

[@DMRSIX]

Another great video! 🙌 Thank you for mentioning city parks, what an awesome bargain! How do you find those? Is it on RV Life? God bless you and happy travels! 🤗

[@LivinRVision]

In addition to RV Life, we also use the Allstays app on our phone to find some parks. There’s also the RV Parky app.

[@DMRSIX]

@@LivinRVision Thank you so much! I will add those to our ever-growing list of resources! You are both priceless! 💗

You guys need a class A! How you live it that space would drive us crazy. Your better people than us! I get the short parking, maybe gas consumption, but we like more space. Carry own our wayward campers ! Thanks as always, Larry and Claudia.

[@LivinRVision]

We actually started out RVing in a 40ft class A 3 1/2 years ago, lol. Had it for 2 years then switched to truck and 33ft Airstream for a year. Now we’re testing out this van, as ambassadors for Grech. It’s all in what works best for each person. 😊🤓

[@barbarakoffman4995]

Safe travels, you are going to miss our State Fair! Come back home anytime.. Soon my husband and I will be on the road too. I am friends with Brittney Smith, I used to work with her. i did her cupcakes at her wedding. See you on the road!

[@LivinRVision]

Oh we’ve been to the state fair many, many times and we love it. However, we needed to get on the road and start exploring new destinations. Oh how cool, Brittney is Brian’s cousin! Small world! She’s a sweetie! Glad you’ll be getting on the road soon. Safe travels!!

[@LivinRVision]

Thanks! I have cut my own since I was a teenager. Would love to see your van buildout sometime when finished!

[@gregprince2523]

would reflectix help on the heat, window in the bathroom?? It always helped in my Semi truck.... the bottom and top bunk windows let in the heat and cold!!! Reflectix and a cushion helped that....

[@LivinRVision]

Yes it would. We used a lot of it with our Class A (Vinnie).

[@sueholt4266]

You could put some 3m film on the bathroom window.

[@LivinRVision]

A piece of reflectix would do the job. The window is already tinted dark. Good idea though. 👍🏻

[@grizzly1b4coffee33]

Love your videos! How much longer are you testing this Gretch ? (probably misspelled, sorry) Also will you share the review you give to the company with us? What are your plans next? I remember you mentioned in a past video that you’re going to be testing another RV, do you know if it’ll be a class A,B or,C? We’re still unsure which class we’re getting let alone which model, there’s so many to chose from. Safe travels and catch ya on your next video! 🙂

[@LivinRVision]

The only thing we really share with the company are the things that we talked about that we don’t like. We are unsure of the details on what and when still. We will indeed share more if there is more to share when the time comes. 👍🏻😊🤓

Hi Brian. Just finished watching your video. I live in Berkley Mi. Saw the city park you were at. Can you give me some info on what to do or see in the area. It’s around 800 mile to get there.

[@LivinRVision]

There really isn’t much to see and do there or around the area other than visit Michelle‘s mom. 😂 I take that back, you can drive 40 minutes south to Sioux City for some Lewis & Clark history and the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. There is also the Blue Bunny ice cream shop in Le Mars, Iowa. Neat place on the main strip going through town. That’s also where their headquarters is located.

[@phillipolanger9116]

@@LivinRVision Thanks. Does

[@jeepsandrvs]

Speaking of messy things, have you needed an extension for your macerator yet? Also, do you use blocks for side to side leveling? Many thanks!

[@LivinRVision]

We have not needed an extension so far, but we really wouldn’t need one since you can easily drive to the dump station. The tear down is so quick with just the electrical cord and water hose and we use all quick connects on the water hose and any attachments. We used blocks at 2 Cracker Barrel’s so far and haven’t needed them at any campground yet.
