This video hit home. We unexpectedly lost our 2 year old daughter on December 2, 2022. It was hard but it made us realize that tomorrow is never promised. So on Dec 27 we went and bought our travel trailer to follow our dream of hitting the road and rv full time. We have been following you guys for all the info on Rving. Love your videos!
This is one of your best videos.why? Because you touched the reality of life being short and not to take it for granted.kudos to people like you.opening the door to living in NOW,to take a chance by choosing the life not being chosen by life forced into a mechanical machine called “work-life”. I will one day meet you people on the road and give Ben a bear hug. God bless and be safe.
Thank you for making this video, I enjoyed it. I'm currently undergoing Chemo now. I was wondering what to do when I get past this. Go home, sit inside with my cats (husband of 45 years passed away, no children). So basically, just vegging away. I thought that's not me. Never. We had always dreamed of travelling around the country (Australia). So I'm selling the house, which will fund my new lifestyle. I've ordered my RV (Class B type, Australian Build - Avida LEURA Motorhome). I'm getting a small enclosed trailer to tow my eTRIKE along with my crafting materials. In Australia we have this "big thing" dotted all over our country. People in small towns celebrate something unique about their area... and make a statue of the thing and they make it BIG! There are over 600 of these and Australia is just a little smaller than the continental US. (Look up "Big Prawn Ballina" and see what I mean). So at least 5+ years on the road, I cannot wait!
The last night of our last trip, we stayed at a Harvest Host that could accept up to 15 rigs. That evening, 11 parked there. We me one couple over a pizza and beer and then saw them sitting outside. Our other neighbors had stopped over to say hello, so we wandered over as well. Eventually, we all had our chairs/drinks out and spend several hours sharing stories, including touring each others' models/remodels. We never exchanged names and I regret that: would be fun to know if they use any of the RV community sites. This was our first taste of meeting people and I look forward to getting better at making new friends!
We are fully retired now (as of December 2018) and have been RVing for more than 20 years. We don’t full time but we do take multi-month trips and love the trips but we also love being at our sticks and bricks. All of your reasons are valid reasons to jump in now if that is your ultimate plan.
(formerly Teachers on Adventures). Thanks, Ben for sharing your story. It really hit home with us. Back in 2015, my wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. It was really a tough time for us as both her grandmother and mother died from breast cancer. And her dad had just died from lung cancer the year before she was diagnosed. So she made it through her treatments (and cancer-free since), but two weeks after she completed treatment, my dad passed away. So, we have been camping our whole nearly 40 years of marriage but we finally went full time in 2020. Although mostly stationary, we are finally starting to travel this weekend. We are leaving our home base here in Tennessee and plan to be out for the next year or so. We are looking forward to it, but you could not be so more correct that NOW is the time to start! You never know what tomorrow holds for you or if there will even be a tomorrow. Thank you for sharing this video.
Our nephew, at the age of 8, was diagnosed with Leukemia. He almost didn’t make it. He beat it. Today he is a career motivated young man. He had to bury his grandmother, due to lung cancer. She had the dream to see monument valley. She didn’t get to, so we are going to go in her stead. I too had a close call. Ended up in ICU over an allergic reaction to antibiotics. So we made our dream come true. You are so right. Experiences are much more enjoyable than things. I only remember two Christmas gifts. One year was a bowling ball, and the other was my piccolo. I was very much into the marching band, which gave me my music love. But I don’t have it anymore. But I do have the memories of the places it went with me.
This might be one of my favorite videos of yours! You are so right about not waiting. We have been fulltime for 2 years now and we wish we would’ve just got going earlier. You two are such a joy to watch and hear from every week.
Thanks for sharing Ben. As you guys know we started full time RVing because of my wife’s breast cancer. We are blessed to say that she is free and clear of cancer. Don’t say someday just DO IT!
Our former camper was totaled in a severe storm in South Dakota and we had gone without camping for about 15 years. When we learned I had cancer (turned out to be Stage3), my husband said, we're getting another camper and do some more camping. Shortly after we got a small motorhome and have done a good bit of traveling since then. Post-chemo, radiation and several years of clear scan, we're still loving travel time. God has been so good to us. It's true, you never know what the future holds. We know who holds the future and that makes all the difference. Hugs to Ben. Love y'all. (Jane)❤🙏
My husband bought our first camper 4 years after his dad died suddenly and 3 years into a 6 year battle with cancer that took her from us. I absolutely understand and agree with all of this video! My husband is an insurance agent mostly because of what he’s been through! Plan for tomorrow but live for today is kinda our family motto.
In 2019, my husband of 20 yrs was hit by a train while riding a bike. Our daughter was 13. In 2021, my mother passed away. Two months later, 2 of my sisters went to the hospital with CoVid. One of them was there and rehab for 7 months. She nearly died several times. My other sister unfortunately did pass away. After my husband died and thinking about my last child going to college soon, I knew I was going to have to reinvent myself. I decided that I’m going to retire somewhere beautiful and open an Airbnb. But until then, my bf and I will be living in my RV! We’re going to renovate it and I’m SO excited! 🥳
I love this video. Thank you for sharing Ben''s story. It is so true the tomorrow is not guaranteed. Some of the best memories my kids remember are the experiences we had camping and at the lake. So meaningful - experiences over things.
This video hit home with me. I have recently subscribed. I am thoroughly enjoying your tips and tricks. We are Canadians and hoping to become snowbirds this year although my husband is a little bit hesitant. We just bought a new RV and I can’t wait to start exploring the south in the winter. I will show him this video. I had a near death experience nine years ago, so it has changed my perspective on life. I turn 60 in a few days and feel this is the time.
I grew up camping every weekend. When I was a teenager we moved to a RV park. My husband and I are looking forward to getting started. Weekends until 2025.
Such wonderful advice. Life is fleeting and we are not promised anything. Thank you for sharing this sensitive yet powerful story. God bless you both and your family ❤️… we should all jump in and LIVE while we can….. Lisa ( the Wingman’s wife)
6 years ago we had our house up for sale, truck bought, trailer bought and I got breast cancer. Was told by drs I had to stay in province for 5yrs as needed quarterly visits. Being in Canada we couldn’t stay in our area in winter. So we sold truck, trailer, house, moved an hr away bought a smaller house. Now we are 65,66 and thinking full time summer or full time total. And yes so right what if..
Great video. We are never going to be full time campers, but that doesn't mean we don't love it. Because of my job as an ornamental blacksmith we would camp at blacksmithing meets allover the country. I remember camping with my pregnant wife. We always dragged our kids allover the place and really got to bond with them. They still camp. I used to do work for multi millionaires and billionaires. They had things, but I had my family and a job that I loved, I felt richer than them. Having cancer can make you realize how good life can be if you stay positive.
Very wise words. Thanks for sharing. You mentioned not being promised tomorrow several times. So true so make sure you know where you'll spend tomorrow, eternity.
Lost my dad to cancer a little over 30 years ago. He was only 65. Your reasons for becoming full time RVers are very similar to ours. Best wishes for your continued travel and adventures. 🚀🦩
It fills me with terror that something will cause us to be unable to hit the road. We have our truck, now we’re saving up for the rig. Now to get rid of 60yrs of life stuff (most is crap but, it’s my sentimental crap😜)
Appreciate you being so open. You are so right, life is too short and you need to enjoy it while you can. We started in our 50's RVing (after camping for decades) and I want to take advantage of it all!
Denver Children’s is one of the best, especially the new campus. Visited friends in addition to attending the Children Hospitals’ Circle of Care event - got to see Red Rock Concert venue and a tour of the new Bronco Stadium where, incidentally, in which the Broncos have lost more games than any other NFL Team. Be sure your jeans become sacred by earning their holiness through experience.
I understand about living today. My husband almost dies early in our marriage, so we did as much as we wanted to do when we could. Then he did died at 55 from cancer. After quite a few year alone I then moved home to take care of my dad after mom passed. Now dad will be going into assisted living and I’m planning on living in an RV full time. One reason is I feel I’ll have a home and be able to travel. Where if I moved into an apartment I wouldn’t be able to do anything else because of the cost. I’ve driven up and down the east coast by my self and it should would be nice having my own bed all the time. I know is not all sunshine and roses but I want the freedom. Thanks for sharing.
I am so sorry to hear that Ben had cancer as a kid. I am glad that he was able to beat it though and have a good life. A few things here. 1. My wife and I have been RVing for five years too. 2. As a kid Ben did you tent camp or did your family have an RV? 3. What made you guys decide to get an RV instead of taking your kids tent camping? 5. What made you decide on a Class A? 6. How come you guys are not out on the road this summer?
We’re headed out shortly, both of our families rent camped as kids and we wanted to travel further, we like the Class A for travel day comforts, more travel vids coming soon! Thanks for watching
I really enjoyed seeing the 2 of you together on the video. You have a great dynamic. What an interesting back story, and I totally understand that fear that something will develop in your kids.
3 heart attacks - all stress related - Dr's and wife forced me to sell my business and retire 3 years ago at 49. Wife is WFH and daughter graduates from college next Dec - not going full time, but looking for our first RV, a class A so we can travel and visit a long list of bucket list items... time for both of us to start enjoying the benefits of all the hard work (and my now bad heart lol)
Thanks for this video. You are brave choosing this life style, and I do envy you!!! Keep enjoying life, with your kids as they are having an amazingly adventure. God bless, stay safe out there on the road❤️😎🇺🇸
Wow, such a awesome video, thank you for sharing!!! I had tears. SO glad he’s ok ❤️❤️ My bride had Brest cancer in 2018, she’s “cured”. We’re selling in a few months and going full time because of everything you mentioned! Safe travels and have fun 😊❤️
I put myself on a 5 year savings plan and I’m ready to take off now but I gotta be patient because I want to buy my intech sol horizon and not have other debt. I’m trying to be debt free before getting started and I’m really proud of myself for putting that money back. I’m able to save much more than I thought I could. It’s amazing.
I spy a little Josiah!! 😅 I miss my kiddos being little for exactly the reasons you mentioned. And little BJ… 🥺Loved this video you guys. It’s true. Live life now!
Thank you both for talking about Experiences over Things. I was forced to retire from the military, after 22 years, due to combat injuries. I started enjoying more valuable time with my kids. Last year February 2022, on Valentines Day, I was diagnosed with cancer. After several tests I found out the cancer was from the burn pits toxic smoke on my military base in Iraq. My children and I found out quickly that tomorrow is not promising or guaranteed. So I wanted to give my children fond memories, like I have, going camping with friends. I bought a camper and truck so we can go spend more family time making memories. Our occasional camping trips are hard on me but I take my time and work through my struggles to be rewarded with the smiles and fond memories I get to watch my children make with me!! 😢 I may not be able to do this much longer but I will fight through it and be thankful for every day God grants me 🙏
My secretary grandmother loved loved loved to play golf and talked often about when she retired she would play golf all the time. She finally retired at 72 and within a year had signs in dementia. I think she played like 2 games of golf post retirement and lived in the prison of dementia to age 90😢.
@@GratefulGlamper based upon this and things we’ve been reminded about from TH-camrs like you and others: live life as if today was your last, help others, be a difference maker when you can be, wear your pretty clothes don’t “save em”, use your nice dishes don’t “save em”, call that someone TODAY - don’t wait etc ❤️
Very helpful , Ive been watching many youtube rving channels since they all started . I learn sooo much!! Thanks for informative experiences ❤ im still dreaming about rving but step one accomplished i got my passport . Whooo Hooo!!
Got a difference question. Most all states require that a flat tow be equipped with electronic brakes and if there is an accidental disconnect that the tow vehicle have brakes that engage to stop it. Is your Jeep and RV equipped as such?
I watched your videos regularly. This time I was somewhat disappointed!! Your title says recession!! My husband and I are definitely considering full-time. We are newbies on a six month road trip now. Don't get me wrong. Your content was very heartwarming. But the word recession was what drew me to watch. You didn't speak on that. I was looking forward to hearing on the reason financially. We are considering selling our home, going all out. I know content videos say things to get your attention. But please address what your subject represents. Thanks
Great message you two! We just are not promised anything… life is so short…. Thanks Adam and Eve! JK. But we don’t know when the ticket is punched and called to eternity
Thankyou so much for sharing this. We are in the process of looking for a RV to tow our Jeep. How did you cover the revenue to get you off the ground ?
Wow, y’all I have to tell you I am greatly saddened. If ever there was a video that you could preach the gospel of Jesus in it would have been this one.
“Preach the gospel at all times; when necessary use words.” ~St. Francis We do not hide our faith in any of our videos and many times doors are open to share “with words” in settings other than this channel. Thanks for watching

@@GratefulGlamper based upon this and things we’ve been reminded about from TH-camrs like you and others: live life as if today was your last, help others, be a difference maker when you can be, wear your pretty clothes don’t “save em”, use your nice dishes don’t “save em”, call that someone TODAY - don’t wait etc ❤️
Thank you for sharing ❤

Are you guys coming to Oshkosh Wisconsin
Got a difference question. Most all states require that a flat tow be equipped with electronic brakes and if there is an accidental disconnect that the tow vehicle have brakes that engage to stop it. Is your Jeep and RV equipped as such?
We have an auxiliary braking system for this that we put in the Jeep on travel days.
@@GratefulGlamper floor mounted?
Maybe include a show on that some day? Most states require it now
I watched your videos regularly. This time I was somewhat disappointed!! Your title says recession!! My husband and I are definitely considering full-time. We are newbies on a six month road trip now. Don't get me wrong. Your content was very heartwarming. But the word recession was what drew me to watch. You didn't speak on that. I was looking forward to hearing on the reason financially. We are considering selling our home, going all out. I know content videos say things to get your attention. But please address what your subject represents. Thanks
Great message you two! We just are not promised anything… life is so short…. Thanks Adam and Eve! JK. But we don’t know when the ticket is punched and called to eternity
So true, thanks for watching
Thankyou so much for sharing this. We are in the process of looking for a RV to tow our Jeep. How did you cover the revenue to get you off the ground ?
We saved and worked a ton
@@GratefulGlamper Thank you. Our Jeep is 2 door your pic shows a 4 door are you still towing that jeep ?
We are for now however we’re considering upgrading to something larger as our kids are getting bigger
Thank you!!
👍🏽
I'm curious how you can afford to travel. Do you work from your laptop?
We work full time remotely
Lost my mom to cancer
So sorry for your loss
@GratefulGlamper ty.
What about the thieves and degenerates?
We firmly believe there are mostly good people in the world vs bad characters.
Greatly appreciated this video. Best wishes and prayers to you all
Wow, y’all I have to tell you I am greatly saddened. If ever there was a video that you could preach the gospel of Jesus in it would have been this one.
“Preach the gospel at all times; when necessary use words.” ~St. Francis
We do not hide our faith in any of our videos and many times doors are open to share “with words” in settings other than this channel. Thanks for watching
