Ep. 15: Riding in the Back of a COP CAR!
Our way home was just as eventful as the rest of our trip!
We stopped by the Florida State Caverns, the only Florida State Park where you can take a guided tour of a cave system, and it was definitely worth the stop!
We stayed at the Marianna State Caverns RV Park, and it was a great location and very close to the park.
On our drive home, poor Atlas said he NEEDED a potty break, so we stopped on the side of the road...4 hours later, a tow truck later, a cop car later, another tow truck later, and we finally got UN-STUCK. Needless to say, we won't be taking side of the road potty break anymore. We've learned our lesson.

After our trip in Waco, Texas we headed Frankston, Texas, which is near Lake Palestine and Athens, Texas. It was a blast and we got to visit the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center to fish for bass.

The boys got to get in the big John Deere tractor and mow so many acres on the ranch. ...

This is by far our funniest video yet and definitely worth the watch. Jonathan and I were in Missouri, freezing our butts off, when we came to our senses and decided to head south, to Texas. We had to split up though, because I still had to go to my cousin’s in Arkansas to get some packages and our voter registration cards. Since the RV isn’t winterized, he had to head south through Arkansas, a...

The list doesn’t have the paint you used
Thank you for letting me know. I’m not sure why it’s not showing on your end, because it’s showing on my side that it’s there. I’m sorry for the inconvenience. If you type in ‘Insil-x cabinet coat’ it should come up. I used the ‘trim and cabinet enamel’ version. It comes white but you can have it tinted locally by a Benjamin Moore store
Loft bed redo and wallpaper both ‼️SOS ! We are clueless!! SEND HELP !!!Bought an older camper, which needs a lot of love on a budget !! MORE VIDEOS PLEASE ❤️🙏🏾
Haha! Yes, we need to get back on it!! We traveled to Kenya for a couple of months, then got pregnant, bought a new and had a baby since we’ve last posted! I’d be happy to FaceTime with you sometime if you want to give you our RV tour and answer any questions. Happy to help in any way we can! So, our plan is to travel again in a few months with the 3 kids!
SO WHATS THE WHITE PAINT YOU USED NOT IN YOUR LINK 🤔
So sorry, I just added it! It's the Insl-x Cabinet Coat paint. It comes in white and you can take it somewhere to be tinted, but it's easiest if you're just doing white.
I just noticed the Handy Paint Pail I was using wasn't showing up for some reason either, so I added another one on there too. The list seems to not be functioning completely right, but it should all be on there now. Let me know if you have any other issues. Thanks so much for your support! -Kelsey
This video had some great tips - thanks. One thing though, PLEASE concider using gloves and a vapor mask when using Acetone. It is a hard core chemical. It is absorbed through the skin.
Thanks for the positive comment and for your tip! I’ll make sure to next time I use it for anything 🙌🏼
I dont understand what all the rage is for painting everything white but its driving me crazy. White is the worst color to paint walls and cabinets that you are constantly going to be touching and it is very dull to look at plus touch ups will be every year ir so because everything showes
Could I use the INSL-X paint on rv walls as well? Also I'm unable to find INSL-X paint in any other colors
Hey Antonia, So sorry for the late response! I actually wouldn't recommend it for the walls, at least if your walls are like ours. The texture just isn't right for painting to me. I've used the peel and stick wallpaper on our walls as an alternative. I also added the Insl-x paint back onto the painting supplies list. I'm not sure why it wasn't showing on there, but it's showing again on my end. Let me know if I can help with anything else! Thank you so much for the comment and the support! -Kelsey
Can you link the name of the handrill you’re talking about I can’t seem to find anything when I search on Google
Hey Cassidy, sorry for the delay! Here's the link to the list with the screwdriver on it! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3N5TB7X0KL7L1?ref_=wl_share We still use it on the regular and love it! It's still going strong!

How do you keep your refrigerator running.?
We give it gatoraid and it keeps running for miles and miles. haha...
Just found you on TH-cam! Great video. My question is...how or where did you find the colored green INSL-X paint? This is our first rv, and I’m hoping to lighten it up with some color! Thanks!
Thanks so much! I bought the regular white paint off Amazon, then you take some out, like maybe a half inch of it, then you can take it to a Sherwin Williams (best bet) or your local paint place for them to tint it whatever color you want! They won't guarantee an exact match to whatever color you want, but it should be pretty close!
really informative , thanks heaps.
Awesome! So glad it was helpful for you!!
Why she's standing in front of that mess telling us how to...make a mess of our kitchen?? Confusing.
Hey Susan, my name is Kelsey, nice to meet you! We’re honestly not professionals at this whole TH-cam thing, and we’re really we’re very new at it. I’m sorry it was confusing to you. I hope you have a great rest of your day!

@@flowergarden1426 Thank you for your support! Your comment gave me a good laugh tonight. Love it!
Hi- the paint isn’t on Amazon link and acetone sold out- help! 😊
Hey Cami, Thanks for reaching out! I added the Insilix Cabinet Coat paint in semi-gloss (for easy cleaning) and a paint thinner (and degreaser) as another option for the acetone (and it's a good price). Let me know if that works for you!
Awesome thanks!
@@camiwyatt You're welcome! Good luck with your project! I'm sure it'll look so good and give your space new life! =)
Hey Cami, So sorry about the super late response! I'm sure you probably don't need it anymore but it looks as if the list was glitching with the paint, so I've added a different item back on there and it's showing again on my end. Thank you so much for the comment and helping me out! -Kelsey
What paints did you use?
Insilix Cabinet Coat paint. You can buy it as some Sherwin Williams locations, but they don’t all carry it. The easiest way to buy it is on Amazon and it comes white. If you want it colored, you can remove a bit and take it to Home Depot or any other store with paint for them to tint it. If you don’t remove some and they just fill it with tint, it will overflow, which you obviously don’t want. Here’s the link to the paint! amzn.to/2N2xLmQ

That's awesome, Yami! For the style I wanted, it was going to be a lot more expensive. I'm happy you're getting what you want though. Amazon is such an AMAZING resource, especially for renovation projects!

I was cringing at the monitor " O..U..C...H.. !!!.." You both always find solutions no matter what life throws at you. Great Video!! ....Johnoly
haha, yes some of the gross details in this one! And yes, constantly having to roll with the punches, but making all of these memories is so worth it. So happy you're following along with us, Johnoly!
Hi we tried painting our cabinets with some regular paint but you could wipe it off once dry would acetone do a good job prepping the cabinets to where the paint held or is sanding gonna be required?
Hey Luis, thanks for reaching out! I believe acetone would be okay, as long as their is no line from where the paint held to where it rubbed off. If it flaked off or there is a hard line then I would sand at a minimum the line to blend it even. There’s a lot of variables though. What prepping did you do the first time? The main thing the acetone does is to get rid of any oils on the surface which allows the better bond. The only other thing I’m thinking is that you may need to do an extra coat to even out the base layer depending on how big that contrast is. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions! Also, if you do end up wanting to sand it, always still wipe with the acetone after for sure! Don’t skip that step or else the dust will prevent your new coat from adhering properly.
Brushing the cat with the broom 😂💀💀💀💀 I also can’t see Kelsey cry so I fast forwarded through that but I’m sure it was beautiful 😂❤️❤️❤️ Loved this vlog!!!!!

We love you too!!!
I'm having flashbacks of a limping jonathan hobbling through the airport as our plane literally leaves the terminal 😂
Haha and I thought I had it bad, that’s much worse to miss a flight with a hob-a-long. He’s got a cool new scooter now, so no missing flights for us because mister over here can really fly on his knee scooter. 🤣
Heal up fast Jonathan!! ,,,,Johnoly
Thanks Johnoly!! Hope you’re doing well! 🙏🏼
Wow, off to a great start. I am sure he will heal up but dang, nothing like a setback to try to take away your fun. I remember breaking my ankle on a summer trip to a scout jamboree and had to go with crutches the whole trip. Bummer. Well this is proof that you are not 25 anymore. Heal quickly man. Also, you have a lot of patience. Kelsey is a saint
Ken Golding yes, he’s been taking it in stride for sure and never complaining about all of the pain I know he’s in. He’s a trooper for sure. God has it all under control, just needing to be a bit more flexible on our plans now. 😊
@@thebravebunch4932 Best plans are no plans, just take it day by day in the direction you want to go. Still looks like fun.
@@KenGoldingRealtor Yes, totally! We're thankful to be near lots of family here in Indiana and for the freedom to be flexible with all of our plans!
I love that you guys are doing this all debt free and would love to know more of the details :) hope Jonathan’s leg heals quickly.
Thanks, Leah! Yes, totally the only way to do it I think. I can't imagine jumping into this lifestyle with the stress and weight of debt being on top of you. Jonathan and I will have to sit down and talk money soon!
@@thebravebunch4932 exactly! I also enjoy the factor that if God calls us elsewhere, we are less encumbered and can go more easily. :)
@@leahdickinson2486 Yes, totally!! Less ties to keep you down and more opportunity to live generously with your time and talent.
Love!!! We are a Dave Ramsey family so I would love to know all the details.
Awesome!! Yes, we’ve done FPU so many times and feel like we add a new skill each time. Haha. We’ve followed all of the baby steps and most of the other recommendations along the way. Jonathan and I will have to sit down and talk money soon!
This was such a nice addition to your story! We got to see the chicks too😍 Talk about finances! Your both passionate about the topic and that will translate. I'm looking forward to the next video so that we can see where your at and what your doing! ❣️❣️❣️

Wow! So many great tips. I think even I can do this! 😂😂 I cant wait to give it a try. My favorite tip is the sharpie for the screws 🤯🤯
Yessss!!! I even dropped white paint on my black and white wallpaper today, so I used sharpie on the wallpaper to draw in the pattern and now you can’t even tell! 😂🤯
Can you use the same products for painting laminate cabinets? or just wood?
Totally! The cabinet trim and the cabinets colored walls in our RV are all laminate and it’s working really well! Just do the proper prepping with acetone first.
More renovation videos! That was awesome. I was not familiar with that paint product. This video motivated me to paint our kitchen cabinets which we have been wanting to do for seven years!!
Ha! That’s awesome Nick!! So glad you liked the video! And you should totally paint your kitchen cabinets with it! We did the big house and little house cabinets with this paint, and it's baller. Call me if you want more details on getting it tinted to the right color whenever you decide to do it!
I love you guys! and I miss you!
Love you too!! And of course miss you!
I’m pretty sure we have the same bathing suit! 😂😂 of course lol Love all the ideas!! It’s looking so good! ❤️

Great job learning how to drive that huge thing!! I (Michelle) can drive straight really well but I haven’t learned to back up yet. How did it go for you guys learning to back up?
Yes, straight is the ‘easy’ part if that’s a thing. Thankfully, so far we’ve planned it to where we don’t really have to back it up. Jonathan’s done it a few time like a freakin boss, but I haven’t had to back it up at all yet, thankfully! Haha
Kelsey, you are BRAVE to buy an RV without Jonathon there!! 😂 looks like a great new home though! Good job on the first renovation. 😂😂 and I love your comment “Don’t be weird.” 😂❤️
