[@LivinRVision]

Welcome! 🧡😊🤓

[@sherifulp2403]

This popped up on my KZbin options and today is February 12, 2024. I’ve been a follower of your videos for about 2 years, so it was great to see this.

[@shirleykinney3777]

Been watching for a few months. Love seeing the first one. That is a lot of information to learn. How ca I watch your videos in order from this one.Lots to learn.

On KZbin, if you click are on our main channel, click on “Videos” and the you should see that you can sort them.

We are planning to do the same thing! Your videos have been extremely helpful, insightful. Please keep posting…..we appreciate you both! 🤔🤩🥰

[@tonycathyhickman2512]

Oh my gosh! We just came across your very first video. We’re going to watch in reverse until we get caught up! I know we’re going to love these too❤

[@DMAC1301]

Watching the beginning again.😎

[@karinwest919]

Wasn't it hard and stressful to leave that house behind, the known and comfortable environment, driving off into a totally new and uncertain ...? Would be great to see a video from you two with your perspective now after 5 years, about your decision and the process as well as what you would do different, etc. I am enjoying your videos and travels in the Class B !

[@LivinRVision]

Absolutely. It was stressful not knowing how it will turn out, much like anything in life…like changing jobs and wondering if it will be better or worse. But that’s the beauty of taking a leap of faith and feeling good that you at least gave yourself the chance to try it OR end up loving it and feeling so grateful like we do. The sites we have seen alone has made it all worthwhile…places we know we would otherwise never have seen. It brings you closer to God. Then you have the friendships you make along the way, it’s so much different than a “normal” neighborhood. Even though we work so much, we are still able to feel very blessed for these reasons alone, not to mention the joy the videos seem to bring to others. Also knowing that others have already been living this way and enjoying the lifestyle helps. Most situations we all worry about are usually not near as bad as we originally think…then we realize we worried about nothing. We all tend to stress about the unknown, which is usually the Achilles heel from doing what we would like/love to do, but too afraid to do it. Anytime there is something you would love to do, Michelle and I believe it’s best to do it so you don’t live life later wishing you did. You can always go back to the “normal” life. Living with regrets takes a toll on your mind and health. Set yourself free and do what YOU really want to do. 🧡😊🤓

[@karinwest919]

@@LivinRVision , thank you for sharing all of your thoughts and experiences that brought you two to where you are today! You are absolutely correct about worrying and I have to say hubby and I also have taken plunges in our lifetime and all turned out well - not quite as adventurous as you two but all the more I enjoy watching what you share of your life's journey! We will not be full-timers, just occasional travelers but I am so looking forward to being spontaneous , leave for a day or for a few weeks in a Class B ! It will be a little while before we can pull it off but, we also don't want to have any REGERTS ( ole Snickers commercial, LOL)! May the Lord bless you and keep you!

I watched quite a few and thought I would start at beginning. Did I see this correctly, was "Vinnie" a 9 year old class A?? It was in 2018 and I thought I saw 2009 on description of rig. Sure would be nice to hear $$ how much you purchased/sold Vinnie for. How much was the 2 y.o. airstream you purchased. Not trying to offend just trying to get educated. LOVE the videos!!

Congratulations, guys!! Welcome to full-time rv life! It’s the best! Isn’t the process of getting on the road such a hard one?! But man, so worth it!

[@LivinRVision]

Thanks! Yes it was VERY stressful but as you said...SO worth it! I'm sure there are some people that think we exaggerate when we all say how awesome this lifestyle is, but it truly is. Hope to see you guys out there! The main part of being a content creator is helping others who are interested in this lifestyle, to get started and learn from our ups and downs. That's how we got started. :)

[@johnhaug1747]

Me too. Had to see where you originated from after seeing annual costs vlog. It does take great courage to sell (most) all your stuff and move into an RV. Seems like many folks are very concerned with monthly costs, and they are trying to beat sticks n bricks costs. I believe one cannot escape the financial realities somewhere around $800-1000 per month, not including medical insurance or medical expenses.

[@LivinRVision]

Some people do but we definitely were not and are not trying to beat the cost of living in a stick n bricks. It’s very easy to make assumptions though. We chose this lifestyle to get out and enjoy life while we are still healthy and find a way to enjoy life while still working, simply because it’s a much better work environment feeling like you are on vacation even while working. We are now able to be in different places on weekends and some nights after work which helps keep our spirits high. The RV community is also another big perk. 👍🏻

[@MsShellMel]

Not sure how I found you but am a new subbie and it looks like I'll be binge watching your channel for a while! I want to learn as much as I can in the process of looking for and deciding on what best RV might be right for us. I'm loving all the options you are presenting. Lewisville is close to us but south of Ft Worth are a TON of RV sales floors just waiting to suck us in. Looks like this is gonna be a big task for us. *sigh* All tips and pointers are most welcome! All aboard!!!!! :)

[@LivinRVision]

Welcome! 😊🤓 We remember the are you are talking about south of Fort Worth. It’s tough deciding on the “right” rig, because there are so many pros and cons to each. You really need to decide on which floor plan works best for you from the most reliable brands out there and see how it works for you. If you plan to get something that requires you to pull a tow vehicle...we’d strongly suggest having a tow vehicle that you do not have to use a dolly. They can be a real pain in multiple ways. That’s one thing that most everyone will agree with. Everything else...just do your research and find what you like best. 👍🏻😊🤓

[@fletchlivesdaily348]

Hey guys, I just watched this 1st episode for the 1st time. What were your overall feelings about leaving the house to start this journey? Just talked to you at Tampa rv show. We love the channel, and happy travels from james and wendy....

[@LivinRVision]

Hi guys! Michelle was terrified and I was excited. That pretty much sums it up. 😂 It is pretty normal to feel scared to sell your house and things and go full time in an RV, but Michelle soon realized there was nothing to be scared about. The way of life is really pretty simple.

[@desertcat8029]

Congrats on making the leap! Ken and I are in the process of getting our house ready to sell. We are not storing anything big though, just a few boxes in our shed at our gold mining club camp spot (winters there). Looking forward to more of your story! Life with Ken and Jane

[@LivinRVision]

Good luck with the transition of selling your house. Hopefully it sells fast. We lucked out when our buyers bought most of our big furniture. We still ended up storing more than we thought we would (all the little things and memorabilia). Thanks for watching! 🌴😁🤓🌴

[@Hemifan4266]

Brian, What did you do for a livivg before you hit the road? Also, were you RVers before you went full time?

[@LivinRVision]

I worked part time with FEMA on disasters estimating damages and writing project worksheets on roads, bridges, (infrastructure) non-profits, universities etc…and part time at home as a realtor and doing appraisals. I’ve worked a few jobs over the years depending on the market with my real estate license. We had never owned or even rented and RV before we went full time, we literally jumped in head first and thankfully it all went pretty smooth.

[@Hemifan4266]

Your videos have always been very nicely produced so i thought you might have had some type of media in your back ground. Both my wife and i really enjoy your editing. You make great travel videos that really draw us in and give really good info on the areas you visit. I am 64, semi-retired, still work part-time in healthcare. She is 57, full-time in banking. We really want to to travel much more. I admire your faith to make the jump to full-time without ever having RVed before​. We are RVers, and use a travel trailer. I keep hinting, but there is that trepidation to make life change of that magnitude. We will see. Until then, we will live vicariously through your videos. Have a great day and coming week.@LivinRVision

we bought a unit that had a lot of wood cabinets n on walls etc so i painted the interior walls mocha and almond white and the trim swiss dark brown to eliminate the woody look and make the interior look more like a house. turned out very well n got rid of all that woody look. you might consider that also. theres plenty of rv reno videos where people have painted the walls n cabinets of their rv and it looks great! check it out!

[@LivinRVision]

Yes, we have been contemplating this for a while now. The thing I worry about is the laminated wood areas and how well that will work out. It’s a heck of a job too and trying to find the time with us both working a lot of hours. May end up being a long drawn out project. ;-). Your message however is encouraging me more to do it, which I REALLY am wanting to. Thanks for the words of encouragement! 😁🤓

@@LivinRVision check out those youtube videos of rv makeovers etc they can give you detailed instructions on what products n procedures the used. mine was very easy. i used Home Hardware brand of TSP in a spray bottle..spray it on all wood areas...leave on for an hour wipe off with damp cloth..then with paper towel immediately after that. takes all built up crap off the surfaces. i used behr brand almond color kitchen bath paint. went on super easy but i wd never use it again bc the SMELL of it curing lasted FOREVER ie a MONTH! dont use it...i used behr regular wall paint on my woody bathroom cabinets worked great virtually NO smell much better. keep windows open. small roller used brushes from dollar store fabulous paint. takes two coats. start in obscure area on tsp cleaned surface to see results. put fan on area to dry it quickly. you will LOVE IT!
