Who are we?
We’re Victoria & Craig, a full-time travel couple currently living the RV lifestyle! In 2021, we realized life was too short to wait to chase our dreams, so we purchased a used fifth wheel camper and completely renovated it. After selling our house in Florida, we set off on our journey as full-time RVers. Full time RV living has taken us across the United States, Baja Mexico, and Canada, where we’ve fallen in love with boondocking in stunning locations and living an epic adventure travel lifestyle. In 2023, we upgraded to a brand new Brinkley RV Model Z 3100.
Join us as we explore new destinations and embark on new adventures. From hiking, rock climbing, and paddle boarding to surfing, off-road exploring, and cooking around a campfire, we live our travel couple lifestyle to the fullest! Subscribe to our channel (bit.ly/3JF0VmZ) and come along on our adventure travel life!

Don’t you be listening to no negative nancy’s 😉 you two are awesome, and we are very, very proud of everything you do 💜 keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@jaydarling1492]

I’m not trying to be negative but on a previous episode he did ask for opinions about the jeep and I did reply in length about the failings of the Suzuki and I have owned both. I agree they are awesome and do good work. I don’t miss an episode!

[@lig8817]

Exactly they are the best there is and such gorgeous humans compared to others. Love their vlogs

[@bobk18]

You Two really are doing “the community” a solid service by documenting all this. Can’t wait to see you two get to enjoy all the work you’re doing. 👍👍🍁

[@janehargis9301]

I agree with others. “Negative Nancys” deserve none of your time or attention. You both do awesome things for your channel and it’s so fun to share in it from afar. The downside for you two is that people who are hurting, those who are angry or resentful, those who are immature or wounded spirits, all have an equal chance in the comment section. You know this so please, please try to just throw nasty words over your shoulder and keep being your amazing, bright, funny and fun to watch selves. ❤

[@richardhumble2296]

I will say that when I am working on a project that I always do better when someone is with me whether or not they do anything. So Victoria even when you may feel like you are doing anything I am sure Craig is very happy that you are there. Person I think you are doing a lot.

[@RamblinRoadies]

For an early 70's vibe we need to see some avocado green. Lookin' good guys!

[@amyspriggle4728]

Awesome job! ❤️’ing it! 🥰

[@geminispamperedgreyhounds1599]

Don't forget the pink/orangish color that went with that green.😂

[@RayLyle-kx2ks]

You both are doing a great job. Don’t worry about the negative comments. Y’all need to restore more old RV’s. Can’t wait to see it when you’re done.

[@PatsySimmons-d5m]

You two work together so well it is a real inspiration. You both have a lot of knowledge and compliment each other .I really enjoy watching and learning from you

[@marciacoker2968]

How funny Craig banging on the hood 😂 Victoria “we’ll talk about It later” 😅 Great work, really liked the backsplah ☺️🙌

[@Sixer-]

You guys are amazing!!!!!! Thank you, for Vlogging this entire process. Having the knowledge to explain and physically do this project is fantastic. Definitely don't pay attention to negative Nancy --Id like to see her attempt to do this project!

[@billarnold3935]

60 color palette consisted of beige, brown, or avocado green.

[@angelamoore8107]

Craig needs to be wearing his infamous Alaska hat on those cold days! 😂

[@trinityMackley]

Great video. Keep us updated on how those concealed door hinges hold up.

[@juliehenderson147]

Great job 🎉 and wow what skills you’re growing! I like your talking and you’re a great team. I see both you hold your young and be nice to one another! I would have put something more wipe able but it all looks great

[@LynneDrevik]

I have never left a comment but I wanted to let you know not to listen to those negative comments you are doing great!

[@danielbarrett6026]

Burnt Orange and OD green is the vibe.

[@bonita3710]

Don’t forget the ever beautiful “harvest yellow” 😂😂😂

[@johnstangel8918]

You kids are doing a great job. I like your style, Craig you guys can do anything you put your minds to. Very impressive.

[@mawstout]

We thank you are doing a really good job. I wish I was as crafty and able to do the stuff yall are doing!! Yall are inspiring us to maybe try remodeling an old rv

[@GloriaGodinho-n7i]

Love watching you two. Craig’s humor always makes my husband and I laugh.

[@DeborahDishong]

I love you, guys. Watching you travel and your projects makes me smile. You finish this, within no time, you'll be building something else. You could have your own Home Interior Business. Yes, I did notice the new vehicle, very cool!

[@littlebit8901]

It doesn't matter how the cabinets/floors/walls/etc. come out. Your enthusiasm and excitement of actually making them, is all worth it! Love it! Keep it up!

[@mikeweis5925]

I have a little feeling the cabinets you just built might outlast the Brinkley cabinets. 😂

[@samnlizzyperry4415]

W🤗🤗 H🤗🤗 GREAT JOB, kiddos! We were excited to watch another chapter in the rehab progression video. We always look forward to receiving that notification that you've dropped another video. It is so exciting seeing the excitement you two get while doing this phenomenal restoration. As for the negative comments, we will be praying for those viewers as their jealousy and dissatisfaction with their life is thrown up on your post in the comments. Shame on them. Keep on keeping it real. To God be the glory 🙌☝️💜💙

[@Unhinged_Adventures_Nomads]

It’s coming along so beautifully, can’t wait to see it all finished!

[@paulreiter1002]

It looks great, love it

[@billyemartin2975]

I don't know whether to call your behemoth rv the whale or the land yacht. I'm torn. However if it's the whale you could name it Moby. 🤣 You two are making great progress and I really like that fancy backsplash! Nice job! 🥰✌️

[@amyspriggle4728]

It’s great to view content that is based on creative ideas. It’s so relaxing following your journey! ❤️ camping and the vibe it brought to our family! Keep up the great content!

[@ericfernette7609]

I think you both are doing a great job. Don't pay no attention to the armchair builders. Keep up the great work!

[@richardyoung4394]

It looks amazing! Y’all are doing great and your working well together! That’s what a biblical marriage is supposed to look like is a team! And Victoria, don’t let anyone get you discouraged! You do way more than most wife’s we see as full timers! Don’t let the world or the ways of this world steal your joy! Y’all are doing something you love, and it’s a blessing to others and y’all’s excitement to do it is refreshing! We are praying for y’all! Have a blessed night!

[@mattday870]

Comin along folks! So far so good! It's always hard to have the 'vision' when it takes so long to create it, huh?

[@margiemachado4951]

It’s looking great. Love watching you kids! Take it from a couple married 56 years, we enjoy your videos so much! 😊

[@jaynamarrinan6065]

Be sure to have a splash guard when you use a frying pan. Cleaning grease off the paneling will be difficult. Love the kitchen. It looks very professional. Great job!

[@YV5AUEO]

Team work, you both are beautiful and rock the work

[@lizdle]

I’m really impressed with how you got those cabinet doors to line up so well! Everything is looking so good!

[@RonnieChambers-e3f]

Y’all are doing a great job! I enjoy your channel, can’t wait to see the finished RV. I’m looking forward to the next video. Also I like the Bible verse that’s at the end of every video. I have joined several channels about RV’s, fishing and outdoor life, I have never received a personal reply from any of them but you. Thank You!

[@SpaceForce2019]

Lookin awesome

[@freedomontheloose]

Awesome, much braver than me. I would never try this stuff! Thanks for sharing and safe travels!

[@steves3688]

Drill a few small hoses in microwave cabinet and spray foam into the void area ...use the low expanding foam...wala!!! Solid backed now!!!

[@teriea39]

Looking midcentury modern!

[@conniemoore3051]

Victoria, I'm quite impressed at how much work you do, you both are very hard workers and work so well together. I've thought many times watching your videos at how much you do and how supportive you are to Craig. You're both wonderful, keep up the good work, its great content.

[@mowser4104]

You two are doing a fantastic job on the camper. I’m with you on the peanut butter pretzel they are the best. Keep up the good work

[@lig8817]

Who was that woman?? Love you guys! xx

[@jimvandien429]

You guys are great! I have made cabinets as a beginner and I know how be much effort it takes. You are now our favorite RV KZbin guys. Sorry Changing Lanes.😢

[@robertt8273]

One more thing at the end. I feel the cabinet doors should be spaced evenly vertical. Looks uneven with the gap at the top and none at the bottom. Maybe will look better painted.

[@jackieshiloh]

I'm new to y'all's channel, as my fiance and I just bought an RV to being full timing this May. Just want to tell you that your vibe is amazing, you're so informative in a very approachable manner, and your loving, Godly bond is just infectious. Wishing you all the best as you continue your renovation journey and beyond. God bless you both! ❤

[@CherylRobinson-j6c]

I just love you guys, your so funny. Don’t worry I absolutely love the way your doing the kitchen on your camper. Keep doing what your doing it’s great.

[@brendahull3289]

Hi guys, Don’t let someone else’s negativity get to you. The back splash looks awesome and cabinet is looking great. You two really compliment each other. I know it seems like you been working on this project forever, but remember perfection takes time. Keep up the great work.

[@robinghunt]

You guys can do anything if you put your mind to it.

[@juliastaley8659]

We love listening for Craig's funny asides. Loved ". . . 17 days, 36 hours" in this one.

[@davidgagnon9240]

Looking nice. Suggest using wood plugs instead of putty for the countersunk screw holes.

[@CraigCulver-b2j]

Pretty nice looking little Suzuki Samuri in the background.

[@juneaufabrellos]

For the edges of the drawer faces, use iron on wood edge banding tape. It’s super easy to iron on and you won’t have to fill and sand.

[@salliannebrown8129]

Looking good. And I agree; Peanut butter filled pretzels are delicious!

[@Theo8863]

Looking Good! Ignore the nay sayers. Victoria earns her way. She also holds a full time job.

[@teriea39]

Loving it!!! One concern is water getting under the backslash countertop junction. I’m sure you will figure out something. This is gonna be one groovy glamper!!!

[@AndiS-dz4pq]

I love the backsplash! Keep up the great work

[@JamesChristie-ef7wn4mw3p]

You are braver than I to use that 1x2 spruce strapping. It's k-wrap. I always rip pine to size for any project similar. I get that it costs more...but it easier to maintain good mental health over using the strapping.

[@WyckoffMode]

Y'all are doing a great job; being your first time with this carpentry work! Love the backsplash! Thanks for the update and look forward to the next update. Stay Awesome! < fist pump >

[@TheCure-b1j]

As long as you don't get that back"splash" wet🌊, it should be fine with that paper board. If you guys do this to a couple more RV's, I could see you starting a remodeling business. You could integrate it into your YT videos. Pimp MY RV🚚!

[@susanramsey9013]

We love you guys and look forward to watching every video. Your always going to have folks criticize no mater what you do so keep doing what your doing. It's easy to critique others when you sit on the couch and do nothing. We appreciate your willingness to jump into a restoration and let everyone see your progress. One ask. Craig please hug that sweet wife of yours and on camera too.

[@walterrafolski5662]

Great job, you two are amazing! So sorry we couldn’t make the meet up in Tampa!

[@flyingGrandpa]

You two are amazing. Not just in your workmanship, but in your relationship. I love it.

[@linmurray436]

If you line the kitchen drawers with the waffle foam type shelf liner it will greatly reduce noise rolling down the road!

[@dawnjordy747]

I love the backsplash y’all are doing an amazing job I really need yall to get the fridge cabinets done I need to see that fridge 💜

[@cbo4369]

You guys are doing such a great job. Way to go!!!

[@amyhart2295]

Can’t wait to see it finished!!

[@angelaklinger2951]

You both are absolutely amazing. You could have your own rv restoration and improvement show. I love how you explain everything. God bless you both.❤️🙏

[@BTimmer]

How about adding a little shelf above the microwave and gain some storage space.

[@YV5AUEO]

Looks awesome

[@kdsailorgirl]

What a vision you two have! It looks fabulous already ❤❤. Love the backsplash and the window trim with it. Very retro!!

[@RobinBreen-d4u]

Omg you two are so amazing and doing an amazing job!!! Love the backsplash too!!! It is absolutely perfect!!!😊

[@Vrosario32]

I love Craig’s sense of humor and sh*t talking and Victoria just takes it in stride when he busts your balls. May y’all have a lifetime of success. Life isn’t fun without laughter. Oh what would this world be with out humor? I’m in it for the sh*t Talking. Glad that I found people like us. ❤

[@karinwest919]

You guys are doing great!!! I can see only thing that would be an issue for me in the kitchen.... sharp corners on the countertop. And then I saw the rounded off ones on the before and after, guess there are more clumsy people like me , LOL!

[@blairinhemet]

I lived in a '67 single wide mobile home when it was brand new--the colors were avocado green and in the bath room it was harvest gold--and it had some hippie looking flowered wall paper in places--it was PERFECT

[@leabaxter2603]

Wow looking awesome! Nothing is EVER perfect😉

[@grizzlyted4401]

Following along guy's 😂 love it all!!! That poor man...lmao

[@rjs5171]

Remember, it is about what you think not what others think. I believe you both are doing a wonderful job.

[@ChrisStudebaker-v7e]

I introduced peanut butter pretzels to my husband recently. He was skeptical but is now a believer! 😂

[@tkilg7169]

Those soft close slides are very nice. Learning by doing is the best way, and all the little goof ups will stick in your memory so that next time the project will go more efficiently and faster. Great work.

[@TrimansWife]

Looking good!! We never know what we are fully capable of unless we try. There are no failures, just reasons to find a different way. ❤

[@larkendelvie]

70s is Harvest Gold, Orange and Olive green -- everywhere. That's what I remember in all the houses I grew up in in the 70s. It also could have just been my mom's decorating style.

[@rachellopez3259]

Love watching you two! Ya'll work so well together! ❤❤

[@vivian6425]

This is so refreshing. Thank you for the ideas and your own creativity. Great video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FittingInAdventure]

Coming together beautifully

[@southerngypsy-pollyburnett3104]

It amazes me how much y’all do. So talented and such a great team working together. I guess you know there’s snow and ice in the Tallahassee/Crawfordville area. I’m sure you’ve seen pictures from home. Stay safe and have fun travels. Sorry I missed the Switch Crew meet-up this year. Hope to see you both down the road. in the meantime, I’m hanging around the Crawfordville area, my homebase, until spring.

[@georgezab2645]

If you guys want the 60s look Turquoise was popular or burnt orange and deep blue. 👌🏻

[@mikemanjo2458]

I am loving your work!!! The kitchen is looking incredible! You should be so proud of yourselves!!! Much love from SC, Jane 🙏♥️

[@MistressOfMyOwnDestiny]

It’s coming along great. You have done an incredible job.

[@DeniseSterling-g4w]

You guys are ROCKING IT!!!! I love the look. 😍

[@dennislovejoy7004]

Please keep doing "it" like you are, you two have become my wife and my favorite! Keep doing what makes sense to you...we love it, you make me Smile!

[@DebtheReb1369]

Great job Craig and Victoria 👏😊

[@MsBWarned]

Amazing transformation, you kids rock! ❤

[@bonita3710]

Love, love, love the backsplash. I enjoy watching you two problem solve as you hit each hurdle. 😊

[@bradholloway477]

You guys are doing great for the first time, I have made high end custom cabinets for over 20yrs. Been watching you guys for a very long time, keep up the great work

[@KissmyBasss]

I painted/stained new homes for 7 yrs and stained cabinets with drawer glides installed. Also, what I've watched is that Home depot has the cheaper appliances and Lowe's has the better wood. I think it's looking good and better built.

[@ChristianCareerJoy]

Love the backsplash! My dog who watches with me is missing seeing Leeland & Maverick even though I told her we can see them in the background sometimes. Craig has quite the fine dining recommendations 🤣🤣.

[@tommy-guns478]

Love the backsplash

[@lauravandien2363]

Love your channel! My husband builds furniture (hobby like) and said you are doing an excellent job-especially since you didn’t have plans! We look forward to each episode. We were at the Tampa Show but didn’t see you🙁. Can’t wait to see the finished project!

[@truckerzwyf]

Craig, I knew you had good taste! Other than being married to such a cute wife, you love peanut butter pretzels! Me too 😆 My husband just doesn't understand my need for PB Pretzels.

[@davidgrittmann2144]

you could use a black permanent marker on the wall where the backsplash meets the upper cabinets

[@franklohr3345]

You're doing a nice job. Looking forward to the final reveal. Also curious about the utility vehicle.

[@maxhicksarmor21]

Well, I must admit you guys are doing an awesome job. And I think this is really gonna pay off. So far I think this is gonna be an absolutely beautiful RV when you guys get it done. Keep rolling guys. Looking great.😊
