    Welcome to our Big Family Expedition! We are a family of 8 that sold everything we owned in 2019 to travel full time with our kids. After being stationary for a while we have decided to live the RV lifestyle again. We are converting a #skoolie for full time travel 2024. Be sure to subscribe to follow along on our upcoming travels.

This is a real life journey of us building a custom rv to travel full time in 2024.

    Thank you for watching our video. Knowing your weight is important in any recreational vehicle. Have you ever weighed your RV? Let us know if you have in a comment.

    Good idea to weigh it before/after. I need to weight just my truck sometime so I know how much I've eaten into the cargo capacity. The tour buses I used to drive had a 220 gallon tank, imagine filling those with the small pump nozzles lol. I've had to do it a few times.

    • @bigfamilyexpedition
      @bigfamilyexpedition  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Ouch, filling that with a small pump would be painfully time consuming, like watching paint dry 😂

    Hi Chrissy and Kenny! TY for taking us along on the drive. It looked like a beautiful day! Our guesses were completely wrong LOL We guessed four hundred dollars for fill up, and nineteen thousand pounds for weight. Another great video!

    Howdy Ya'll, I just subbed and put 17 videos in the queue to get started. We are hitting the road next week in our RV. What part of the country are you guys in. I will check in periodically to like and comment on these 17 videos.

    We love seeing what everyone does with the buses cant wait to see yours and maybe we will meet up on the road one day. Our guess 800 for diesel and weighed 15,000 wow way off on gas oh my crazy but cant believe i got the weight. (Jodi) Kenny cant wait to see this we have also watched Hope bUs they did a great bus remodel. Did you ever watch expedition happiness great documentary! Nice to meet u best wishes!

      I don't think we've ever watched expedition happiness. We will have to watch it now. I'm glad it wasn't 800 for the diesel, I would have cried on camera. I did think it was going to be more though, I guessed $300. Thank you for watching.

      Awesome, It's always a good idea to know your weights on recreational vehicles. Some people don't weigh and end up damaging their vehicles.

    I feel like I was sitting in a room about to start a Math exam and knew I was going to fail! No idea on the cost of the diesel, our pumps are in litres and you use gallons, and as for weight of the bus before and after, I was nowhere close. But, I look forward to the upcoming videos with the building starting. 😀 👍

    Have you settled on a floor plan yet? If so can you share a drawing? Curious what your plan is and to see if you have to alter the plan as you go through your build.
