I'm watching this a year later but the storyline is still someone's reality present day. I've raised children in one home and then downsized to a apartment; have not felt at home until I see the RV channels. I feel this would be my home; I understand that problems come with all types of homes but these homes you feel more in control of. Continued success and blessings to your family😁❤️
My truck is Straight piped and sounds just like yours. I sure love it. The neighbors hate my guts I’m sure on a cold morning. Sounds like a jet engine with the Vgt turbo 😎.
Thank you for sharing what it's like to move from a house into a rig. You are right other channels dont show that part and its a big part. I'm looking forward to reviewing your other videos. thanks again.
We just found your channel. Life can sometimes kick you in the teeth but you chose to kick back. That is so awesome. We just bought a 324 mbs which is same.floor plan as your 31 mb just a little longer by like 1 or 2 feet. We love it and cant wait to use it more.
Thought I'd check out your story after I Saw your rig heading west on 44 tonight, you got off at Strafford, MO. You have a strong family. Be safe out there and thank you for your service!
Hi guys, I just saw your video for the first time I live in Boston Massachusetts and watching a video was amazing. God bless you and your family. You’re a great dad I love watching you guys. We have a travel trailer 40 footer we just sold it and bought a 43 foot Sierra fifth wheel, we’re going for a travel trailer to a fifth wheel. Learned a lot from what you showed. Thank you safe travels maybe someday will meet halfway God bless both of you guys and the kids.
I found you guys searching for 31MB videos. What a gem. I actually scheduled a trip to Rock City, Ga because of your video. We did Savannah, and Tybee Island spring of 2021.
Hey Airborne, I found you by searching RV Security. Great video BTW, I dig your style. We did basically the same thing as you and your beautiful family. Upgraded the truck, sold the house 🏠 in FL, upgraded the 30' TT for a 40' 5th Wheel and hit the road. I too had never driven a 5th Wheel. We took it directly from the RV dealer all the way AZ. See you on the road. Wally MSG (R) ABN Medic. Strike Hold
Congratulations man. Wish you well and safe travels. You should check out Townsend KOA which is about 35 minutes from the campground in this video. Thank You for the review, we are looking to purchase the 2022 year of the same model. Do you have any recommendations or advise for me? We are upgrading from a 27’ travel trailer.
Congratulations on your new rig..thanks for sharing move in day.it remains me when I had to the same. I went from a 25ft to a 44ft 5th wheel toyhuller we just open up the back Ramp an put everything in the garage. LOL you an your family are starting an adventure of a lifetime. Enjoy an be safe in your travels.
I am so glad I found your channel! I know Im a bit late. So we currently have a travel trailer and were wanting to look at this 5'er....but we have been told that our 2500 duramaz silverado doesnt have the payload capacity to handle it. Even though we have a payload capacity of 3400 lbs. How did you 2500 handle it?
Could you do a review after a year or so of having the 31mb we are looking at one and can’t find many reviews after a extended period of time I’m sure many people would appreciate it
How does your truck handle the 31MB? That limited has a lower payload with a Cummins and loaded with options, and the 31MB has a dry pin weight of 1800+lbs. Factor in the weight of family, propane, and batteries, etc. It seems you’re pushing the payload. I’m asking because I also have a 2500 and looking at a 31MB
I just found the channel and really like it! Im just curious what size lift and tires you are running on the cummins? We are looking at this same model 5th wheel, I have an 06 duramax with 6 in lift and 37s and wondering if a 5th wheel is going to work.
Dude, what an awesome chapter in your life. I cannot imagine how hard it would be to lose a job and your house along with it. My heart and prayers for you and your family so that this new chapter in life is one the best that your children will never forget. I commend you for the awesome bravery and for still providing a roof for your family. I cried with you brother when you where at the lot picking up the FW with wife and kids. I am subscribed and ready to watch more of your videos. My heart and prayers for all of you full time RVers specially the ones that have lost their jobs and homes because of the Pandemic.
Love the video! You guys sound like me and my husband! We just yesterday bought our 31mb! We found you looking for videos for it and it’s amazing to see the mess! We always have so much mess! 😂
Hey man do you know how high your bed rails are from your tires? I have a lifted truck and want to know if I will make clearance. We are looking at the 2022 31MB as well.
Love this video, it's probably one of my favorite by far. We are on our 2nd RV from A & L RV but from the one in Kodak TN. We are from Georgia and love that dealership. Look forward to following y'all.
Join Costco. The executive membership is worth it. Meats, TP etc great quantity and quality. Worth it, enjoy! My wife and I are going to do the same shortly!! God bless you and your family!
Found your channel researching RVs for when our house sells. Getting ready to leave California and find a new place to call home. Looks like I’ll be in for a little highway therapy also. Where did you find that map decal?
Have a 2500 2020 cummins. Looking at the exact camper. How’s it tow? What size lift and tires do you have and how’s the angle of the camper with the lift and tires?
It tows great! I’m running 35x12.50 Ridge Grapplers with a 2.5” level in the front and factory air bags in the rear. With the truck level, the camper sits slightly nose high, but I can adjust it with the bags. If you just have the coils on your truck, I’d definitely consider airbags since this rig is right at the limit of what a 3/4 ton is rated for.
@@HighwayTherapy I do have thuren rear coils but also airbags on cradles. I have 35s too but tempted to get 37s. It’s a one inch height difference don’t know how bad that’d be. I have 3.73 gears which at 37s is about the same as your 3.42s with 35s.
Personally, I'd stick with the 35s if you're gonna be towing a fifth wheel. I wish I was geared a little higher, but I've got transmission tuning from CTT which make a world of difference.
Just found your channel! Subscribed! How has the 31mb held up for you guys? We currently have a 2800bh and are having some issues wtih towing and sway even with a special wd hitch. Has towing the 5th wheel been easier? We have a gas F250.
It’s been great! We’ve put almost 25k miles on it over some pretty rough highways and the only issues we’ve had are loose trim and doors coming off track occasionally. Pretty common stuff. Other than that, it’s solid!
Glad I found your channel, the hubby and I just sold our home and sign docs tomorrow! ARGH! We don’t even have an RV but decided on a Grand Design 30-31 ft...can’t wait to hear how you like yours!
Hi. Looking at this camper as well. Not full time but love it’s relative compact size with a mid bunk. Did y’all also look at the Jayco 31MB? One question where are y’all storing your plates and cups? I didn’t see a good top cabinet?
We didn’t look at the Jayco, but it’s almost an exact copy of the Grand Design. We keep the plates in the bottom drawer beside the fireplace and the cups go above the TV. We’re doing a full tour soon, so Trish can show off some of her storage tricks!
“Is that White Claw any good? I guess I’m about to find out.” “You know where I learned to do that? I watched a lot of TH-cam” 😂😂😂Congrats on your new home and your new journey! Best wishes from future 31MB owners in MI!
Hey thank you for posting these videos. My wife and I are serving over seas Japan. I’m active duty USN. We bought 2018 2500 Mega Ram back in 2019 and left it in GOV storage. We miss USA and we plan on buying either a house or this 31MB by Grand Designs. We won’t be leaving until later 2023 and can’t wait to be back. Please when you can post some more videos about why you decided this RV. Once again thank you.
Hey Jason, we're planning on shooting a full tour and review of our rig in the next couple weeks once we find some sunshine. How do you like Japan? I've never been myself, but I've got a few buddies that were stationed there, and they all loved the food and the culture so much they didn't want to leave.
Love the channel so far. I recently retired from the military and looking into a 5th wheel. We have a 16’ RAM mega cab 4x4 and was wondering the tongue weight on your model?
Understand what you are going through. We are going though the same thing. Move from a 3100 sqft. House to 5th wheel med Bunk. 3553MBP Astoria. With 2 teen Girls and a 9 yr old boy full time.
This is awesome! Thanks for opening up your family’s experience with us on TH-cam. We did the same thing with the same 31MB rig. We went full time June this month and now live in CA for now. Safe travels and Merry Christmas!
Congrats on the new rig, looks awesome!! I wonder if the exhaust on your truck is adding frustration when communicating with your wife when backing in etc. Don't get me wrong, beautiful truck and camper. But less exhaust tone might reduce some stress. Happy travels.
New to your channel we are really excited to come along your journey. We are looking to do some full time RVing ourselves but as long as we are in New Jersey if you hit this state beers and white claws are on us!! We have 6 acres if you ever need to boondock I have a small TH-cam channel if you want to check it out. Good luck!!
First time watching your videos and you spoiled with a SCREAMING CHICKENS shirt?!?!?!?! EIGHTY DEUCE in the house!!!! ha I will subscribe! Look forward to watching your other videos. AIRBORNE!
Congratulations y’all, just subscribed and watching all the videos. I enjoyed watching the camper shopping on the Keystone Cougars. Did y’all make any more video’s like that? Is the Grand Design brand better than others or was it the floor plan that made y’all choose it. I’m looking for a camper and have a 2500 diesel. I was leaning towards a TT, but love the FW y’all got. Do you have any issues with towing this rig with a 2500? My heart dropped when you told everyone you lost your job and sold the house. Y’all look so happy and glad this was a blessing in disguise for y’all. Safe travels and looking forward to new videos. God bless
Thanks for the support! We looked at a few other models, but recording it wasn’t really a priority at the time. We may do more videos like that in the future, though. We picked the 31MB due to the floorplan, the weight, and the fact that Grand Design builds a product that can handle full time living. As for the truck, it tows our camper great, but this is about the biggest rig I’d pull with a 3/4 ton. We’ll do a full tour with all the pros and cons of the 31MB soon!
I'm watching this a year later but the storyline is still someone's reality present day.

Love every second of this video! Subscribed! Want to see more.
Awesome setup man! Good video thank you!
6:23 got me in the feels 🥹
such an exciting time ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so so happy I found your channel! That’s so cool I had tears in my eyes with y’all’s happiness getting the new home! 🤍
Ok, I'm hooked! This was the first video I have seen, but it was great!
Really appreciate the authenticity. Made me an instant subscriber. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate the reality!!! We’ll be 5th wheel full time newbies one day and this helps!
I love this family
Congratulations , I’m looking at the same one .. thank you for the real deal view uncensored, beautiful family , = beautiful life safe travels 🙏🏽
My truck is Straight piped and sounds just like yours. I sure love it. The neighbors hate my guts I’m sure on a cold morning. Sounds like a jet engine with the Vgt turbo 😎.
Thank you for sharing what it's like to move from a house into a rig. You are right other channels dont show that part and its a big part. I'm looking forward to reviewing your other videos. thanks again.

You are so right! Show it like it is it's still very beautiful and you have a wonderful family God bless you
I found you guys searching for 31MB videos. What a gem. I actually scheduled a trip to Rock City, Ga because of your video. We did Savannah, and Tybee Island spring of 2021.
first time backing it in hell of a job brother!
A tip as a lifelong learner/teacher; people learn better when they push their own buttons instead of the dealer
Love the video!!!! We are looking at the same set up. What model is your ram truck?
Hey Airborne, I found you by searching RV Security. Great video BTW, I dig your style.
We did basically the same thing as you and your beautiful family. Upgraded the truck, sold the house 🏠 in FL, upgraded the 30' TT for a 40' 5th Wheel and hit the road. I too had never driven a 5th Wheel. We took it directly from the RV dealer all the way AZ.

We sit at 61” high in the truck from tire to bed rails.
Nick looks like "My Precious" on Lord of the Ring

Did you guys ever scale this rig out at a cat or similar? Curious what your truck axle weights came in at. I have the same exact rig. Ram and 31mb
Could you do a review after a year or so of having the 31mb we are looking at one and can’t find many reviews after a extended period of time I’m sure many people would appreciate it
Congrats on the 31MB! Looking forward to following your journey!
Thanks for the support! We’re glad we could share it.
Sorry if I give you a lot of thumbs up on your upcoming videos I'm playing catch-up since I just subscribed LOL😂👍👍

Best of luck with the search! We got the map from Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B0739LHMQQ
I just found your channel and I'm so encouraged to do this myself. I've been considering this since my divorce, I need adventure!
That Dodge Is good looking that Cummins sounds super good as well.

How's that reflexion holding up? I am currently looking at one as a traveling apartment, travel nursing has me all over the map now a days.
It’s been great! We’ve put almost 25k miles on it over some pretty rough highways and the only issues we’ve had are loose trim and doors coming off track occasionally. Pretty common stuff. Other than that, it’s solid!
@@HighwayTherapy thank you for the update. I did end up picking up the 31MB. May 25th is day one with the new home away from home.
Congrats!
Loved watching you two park the 5th wheel on your first night. You sound like my wife and me getting our TT parked. Lol!
Congrats! We love our 31MB as well. I wish you and your family well in your adventure. It'll be something your kids will never forget!
Glad I found your channel, the hubby and I just sold our home and sign docs tomorrow! ARGH! We don’t even have an RV but decided on a Grand Design 30-31 ft...can’t wait to hear how you like yours!

We mainly rely on hand signals now, but when we first started, it’s probably a good thing some of our communication was drowned out by the exhaust! 😂

Random drop of the TH-cam algorithm landed a gem. I'm going to have to go back to the beginning of the story.
