I'm with you. Vans are too small.
Haha! I'm in a Prius. Its a small world...
@@yellowdressbookstore6602 That's awesome! Much respect from us! -Laurie & Matt
I've done & love both RV's and Van's, and found both have pros & cons, depending on the type of traveling I'm doing for awhile.
Hi, David! That's awesome that you've done both RVs and vans! We can absolutely see the benefits of van life for certain types of adventures! We really appreciate your feedback! -Laurie & Matt
I agree with with you. Van life is PERFECT for a single person. Two or more, it can get cramped.
yup I would do the same thing more room!
I think van life would be tricky for more than one person. An RV definitely is more couple friendly.
We agree! For us, we could see ourselves traveling for short-term trips in a van, but full-time van life definitely wouldn't work for us. Thank you for your feedback and for watching! -Laurie & Matt
Van life is small but it's a cheaper way to live
And a van can go to tons of places way easier then a hug rv
Class b's are more expensive than most class c's and some class a's.
Honestly, I love my creature comforts too much. RV looks so fucking comfortable. The vans are cool and can be impressive, but I love my instapot and airfryer. If I ever got to travel on the road like that I'd go with an RV too... Plus, RV feels more... secure? Locked up?
We love our Instant Pot and other small kitchen appliances, too! We truly feel like we're home in our RV, so you're right about the comforts! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Storm! -Laurie & Matt
Vans are great for a balance between stealth and comfort (smaller vehicles being the most stealthy but also the most cramped). If stealth is not a requirement, RV's are as good as it gets for a home on wheels.
Totally agree! Thanks for your feedback and for watching! -Laurie & Matt
I'm in total agreement with you on every point. Also, it's not a lifestyle one should choose unless you have the financial means to keep a rig on the road - and it does cost a lot. We always needed something done, and while my husband is a great mechanic, the parts can be expensive.. I couldn't imagine the cost if it had to go in the shop!
We definitely agree with you!!! Thank you for sharing that and for watching! -Laurie & Matt
My hubby and I aren't exactly small people, so I think a van would be too cramped for us, too. If we do this, I would get a small camper and tow it with my Jeep.
That sounds like an awesome setup, Claudia!!! We love small, simple living! Thanks so much for watching and for your comment! 🙂 -Laurie & Matt
Anyone interested in a Travel trailer or RV. Most important thing: Have the bed design so you can walk around 3 sides. Crawling around to do bedding gets tiring fast. And have a nice shower with elbow room. To stand back a little instead of face 4 " from showerhead.
I think that depends on your vision of life on the road... both sides have pros and cons...get/build something that suits your needs/wants
Couldn't agree more!!! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! -Laurie & Matt
For me, the secret sauce is stealth, and only a van offers stealth capability.
Totally agree with that and definitely a huge advantage to van life!
Yes
It’s All Good !!! ✌🏼💯🙂❤️
It IS all good! ☺ Thanks for watching, Mary! -Laurie & Matt
Me too I agree.
Really nice layout n color scheme inside. (I get so tired of that standard gray interior - it's depressing)
Thanks so much!!!! Yes, it really is so boring and lifeless!! We appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment so kindly! -Laurie & Matt
I bet you two dollars that within a year they will outgrow that and want a bigger motor home. I’m different than that, I went from living in a small station wagon to living in a 46 foot but
That's quite an upgrade, Hunter! It has to be nice to have so much space! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! -Laurie & Matt
I have lived in my rv for4 years now and don't regret any part of it I am six-foot-four and I have a full shower toilet bathroom full kitchen it sleeps eight it has two queen-size beds 2 full size beds and a V10 motor that makes it go anywhere I want to at highway speed it's great must respect to the people that can live in smaller but I'm too big to live in something like that so I agree with you one hundred percent and love both of them 👍🤗✌️🚐
Love all of what you said, Bill!!!! Your RV sounds very spacious! Like you said, much respect to the people that live in smaller spaces!!! We're all out living our dreams which is the cool part! ☺Thanks so much for watching and for commenting! -Laurie & Matt
So you have 8 people sleeping with you every night,??? Otherwise who cares how many people are able to sleep in it at one time.?? Sounds like a lot of wasted space being used to “sleep 8 people” in a small area., do you really want 8 people in your rv at one time all night.,?? How will they be able to have sex with their partners without everyone else knowing.,?? Imagine trying to sleep and the couple next to you going at it for hours.?? I mean wow., 8 people at once.,??
Amazing color scheme and layout
Thanks so much!!!!
Love the Yoop t-shirt!
We love that you know the shirt!!!! ☺Love our home state! Thank you for watching, Mary! -Laurie & Matt
@@whynotwander my home state too!
Your RV's are called Caravans in Australia.
RV's a certain on the back of a ute like a winerbago
That's cool to know! Thanks so much for your comment and for watching! -Laurie & Matt
The bathroom/shower size is a deal breaker for me. If it ain't big enough...NEXT!
We don't mind a smaller bathroom in the RV since we only use it as needed, but most of the van bathrooms are a no go for us as they're just way too small!
Do this
Grand Design it is...
We LOVE our Grand Design!!! 🙂Do you have a GD, B? Thanks so much for watching! -Laurie & Matt
@Why Not Wander No, not yet. My neighbor just purchased a 2023 Momentum 29G and I'm definitely going to purchase one very soon. I'm eyeing the 21g. Small and simple luxury...
@@bsmith8209 That's awesome!!! Can't beat Grand Design's quality! -Laurie & Matt
Yeah having a van bathroom that’s both in the kitchen and your bedroom is a no go😂
😂Glad we aren't alone in that!
tell me you're american without telling 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
😄Is there something wrong with being an American? 😂
@@whynotwander a lot of things indeed. and asking it is the first
@@makasii But I'm curious how we can help where we were born?
@@whynotwander well, if you really want to know: you can't but most of you can learn to be a bit more humble and discreet. we're just tired of the excess, the arrogance, the noise.
@@makasii I can totally understand what you are saying. I appreciate that you've been willing to answer. Thank you for that.
Please don't call a trailer a rv . A rv has a engine . Please Google that.
This is a common comment we receive, I get the misunderstanding. I did actually just Google it. I asked, "What is an RV?" This is what it says, "A recreational vehicle, often abbreviated as RV, is a motor vehicle or trailer that includes living quarters designed for accommodation." Thanks so much for watching!
how negative 😮
RV are to big to go off-road enough to be isolated and RV are way more expensive and get poor fuel economy!!!!
Hi, Edward! I guess it depends on what you're looking at for vans as far as being more expensive than an RV because our RV is actually MUCH cheaper than the cheapest van we've seen! Sure, we can't go off road and be isolated, but we're also not interested in that, so each person has to decide what their wants and needs are. We definitely agree about fuel. A van would be much cheaper as far as fuel goes. Thanks so much for watching and for sharing your thoughts! -Laurie & Matt
There are off-road RVs & the very first one, built in the 1930s, was intended for Arabian deserts.
Number four: u r rich to afford a rv
We're not even close to rich! We clean bathrooms to live on the road. We're rich in experiences though. lol This is our full-time home, and we sold or gave away literally everything else we had. Thanks so much for watching, Bull! -Laurie & Matt
