I did that with the abandoned mansion series for the most part, it was almost done, but I got to binge watch like the first 20 parts in a couple days lol
I found Matt's off the ranch channel just after they bought the abandoned mansion. I looked forward to every episode and then binged the whole series all over again. It was great seeing the beginning all over. I then joined the demolition ranch and vet ranch, also Mark's and Dr Lee's channels. Looking forward to seeing these videos too!
Hire a groundskeeper. Sooner than later. They will be invaluable in getting work done on the property while you are focused on other things, their knowledge will help with designing the grounds, and they will be immeasurably more connected and caring when you open up if they're maintaining/improving something they helped build. 🙂
But somebody who knows what their doing with the grounds, and thinks long term for the health of the property. Not just because they are licensed and have a shingle to hang.
We definitely want you to keep with the one hour episodes, we want to come along every step of the way and I'm sure a lot of us wish we could just be there with you helping you do what you're doing.
The reason we don't get bored watching these longer videos is because it's like you're exploring the property and taking us along for the ride. There's not much that beats checking out a new, huge area that not many have been in or seen for years or decades. A lot of really cool discoveries (and some nasty ones, too) have been made and more, I'm sure, to come. Even those, though, are interesting. PLEASE keep it up and thank you for sharing all this wonder! Oh, and of course we can't forget the humorous antics of Mikey. How that boy hasn't killed, or even hurt himself, yet, is beyond understanding. lol (you, too! Y'all please keep it up, but continue to be safe!)
I get the feeling Matt is feeling a tad bit in over his head, im so sorry!! Hang in there Matt. As a steel fabricator we talk about huge projects and I was talking to an experienced steel detailer and he gave us the best advice that we use to this day: “how do you do the big jobs?”, “it’s like eating a big meal, one bite at a time”
You could use the huge grass area as a camping ground, so people could come in with their tents and camping gear, one facility trailer and some more generators and it's good to go!
I agree. I think it feels that way because he’s taking footage from what could be two or three separate videos and combining them in just the right ways.
In my opinion matt you should stay with the longer videos for this abandoned resort project because it’s great watching all the stuff you’re doing and I love seeing all the wildlife and animals that call this beautiful place home
he needs to find some you-tube cowboys and see if they want to come do a goat round up. i don't know if they are considered as livestock gone wild, or if they are wild goats that inhabit the area. they are good for weed control, but it looks like they are a bit destructive too.
I dig the hour-long videos. The scale of the project supports it! An hour of a house would be a bit much. An hour of an entire resort, definitely has progress needing to be made!
Your channel has literally inspired me to sell my house, buy a house that was a dump and fix it up. Thanks for the content and the inspiration even though you will probably never see this comment. Your channel has helped me through some dark times and I really appreciate you.
Better keep ur current house and buy a dump and fix it over time the way u want and then sell ur current house and move in to ur new and improved home. Good luck with the project if u decide to take a shot🤞
I believe Matt has finally realized we want to see the entire ranch and I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s gone on Google and looked at it and said hey, what are all these houses and we finally know so mad please keep giving us long episodes I’m sure I’m not the only one who also would love to see a full tour of every building in an out.
I’m in the UK 🇬🇧 and more than happy to sit through an hour or even more for an episode of yours. Love both channels and would continue to watch even if they were 2-3 hours long, after all some films are that long and we can find time for those as and when so keep up the great work guys. All the best, Jon over here in good old Blighty that is England 🏴
Long Format = Best format. This thing has so many moving parts, it's pretty engaging to see how the problem solving, discovering things, etc. is going. This thing is going to take years, and I'm going to watch every one of em. Keep at it guys!
Love the longer videos!! You know why Matt and the rest of the crew are bad ass? They’re not afraid of hard work and getting their hands dirty actually doing work themselves. I can appreciate that.
It would definitely cause an insurance risk. Until they have areas cleared and cleaned up, too much chance of someone's rig getting messed up. Same reason he can't have people staying in the cabins, its not safe yet. Any place that allows RVs to stay has made it safe in certain places to put them. All of that being said... He could just have them sign a waver that the ranch isn't liable.
@@sberryscake doesn't even need a waiver, just needs a notice of liability to be posted clearly in a public area, like at the entrance or somewhere like that
Long form content? Go for it. I often spend an hour+ at a time sitting in my truck or at a desk working on reports, and it's great being able to start just a single video that I can listen to and half-watch while working without needing to pick a new video every 10 minutes. And the montages and general goofiness you bring to the channel are great
Yes Matt , longer videos are great. We like to see your daily struggles and the friends that help you, and the teamwork, we enjoys the joking around but the seriousness of the situation. You pull at our heartstrings to offer assistance. The idea is great. And it will take a long time and patience to clean it up, but it’s an awesome situation! I’m proud of you for starting this project. !!
That stuff is expensive and it probably stainless steel. It'll clean up like new. Just don't throw it away because if he doesn't want it believe me someone else will
Long format videos with Matt and the Demo Crew are the absolute best! I really hope you keep the carpet in the Airstream. Also, the Resort's "Resort Planning" house is a great use for these early stage days/years. Can't wait for the next installment of Abandoned Resort!
I personally prefer the longer vids but at the same time I don’t mind how long they are! I just love watching along as you turn properties from non habitable to habitable & I’m loving the addition of mikey! He’s a super cool dude!
Matt is the type of boss everyone should strive to be... hard working, dedicated, cares about employee wellbeing, and of course expects work to get done! (And has a lil bit of fun...shhhh!)
Honestly I much prefer the 30-60min videos over the 10-15min ones. The short ones feel to condensed and I enjoy the extra banter and behind the scenes so to speak of the longer ones. Keep it up! Looking forward to seeing what you do with the place.
So I made a recommendation in one of your earlier vids. Being in construction myself, I would recommend getting with a company that will help you "phase plan" your resort. They will come and talk with you and discuss your priorities and create a plan as to what you should work on first through last. Next hire a reputable construction company that you get on a FFP (Firm Fixed Contract). Make this a design/build project. (they will have to hire an architect under their contract). That means if they forget anything they are on the hook not you. This way you don't deal with change orders that can bleed you dry. Food for thought...
Yeah matt, keep it up. While watching these videos I remember your old videos , u fixed something with ur kids, or making something new, or taking us with you wherever you go, those small simple stuff i appreciated most. Because we already living with day to day stressors and complicated life, so these kind of things are far more enough for me. Keep it up.
I was thinking for the maintenance manager, myself. That way, you'd have 24-hour maintenance available once you open. Or make it a longer rental unit. Say two weeks minimum up to six weeks max rental. Just a thought!!😊
I love the hour long episodes with more content! The only potential issue I could see is that for me I wait until the weekend to watch them regardless of when they're uploaded so if I'm not the only one like that then it could make "trending" a little more difficult and skew the early views a bit.
I don't know about everyone else but every time I see the drone shot of the cabins on the cliffside, I'm dang Matt needs to put a zipline down to the river. That would be so epic and awesome!!!
Unfortunately, our government overlords and insurance providers, would NEVER allow that to happen. That is just way too big of a liability, and no one wants to see Matt become victim to that nightmare.
@Tim East, I agree. The zip line would have to be it's own business with it's own insurance policy. Way too much headache for what will already be enormously stressful.
Hey Matt! Love the airstream. You may want to look into creating a solar panel grid to power the trailer and possibly even a full campground in that clearing.
That's a great idea! Especially if he gets sponsorship. That can also be how he gets electricity to the buildings he wants to have it until he gets the wiring and stuff resolved. I vote the purple carpeting stays. It's a pretty shade that works.
@@jakeforrest Even if there was a wine cellar there are still two issues. Is there still wine in it and is it even drinkable. Old wine is sometimes only useble as vinager for food or if lucky it turned into port.
You're a genius! This place is a content creating gold mine.. Not only for you.. Also for all those other youtubers that help and making their own content.. And you get free labor... Again... You're a GENIUS!!!
100% agree, This whole concept of buying the ranch and then showing episodes of the renovation...... Absolute pure genius ! Plus all these other TH-camrs get publicity for their channels, It's a win-win-win situation 👍👏👏👍 Plus, it seems like Matt has figured out that we want to watch an hour of him being a dork😅
Yes Matt. We would really enjoy longer videos. I think it would be awesome to take a tour of the entire place now before you have done too much to look back at when it all is finished.
Hi Matt. You could concentrate on getting the range and activities up and running and then start out having people camp on the property while you renovate the cabins. Kind of an outdoor adventure experience. Camping and a furring range is going to appeal to a lot of people.
I absolutely love, long videos. My attention span is better than most. I find myself checking the off the ranch channel almost daily just wanting to get my fix of abandon resort.
Awww man, I missed it. Papa would love that, go fishing, sit him in the water... he was on hospice and got better and is on home health. That's a good idea..
Im so stoked these past couple episodes have been close to an hour. I feel like i have to let the 15 minute episodes pile up for a while so i can binge for an hour or two
I vote longer videos!! Btw, that house isn’t bad at all. Great place for workers to stay. A little cleaning and new furniture and it could house a few people. Love this new series!!! Thanks for sharing with us all.
The longer format is great for a few reasons for me. The vloggy sections are great insights into what's going on on the property and make for good background noise too, while the montages are edited together fantastically and fun to watch. Also holy crap your drone game keeps getting better and better.
Hey Matt, here's a thought for a quick way to set up lodging... they sell really cool park model cabins that would be perfect for a few guys or a small family to say in. They have bedrooms and bathrooms and small kitchens. And they are considerably cheaper than that Airstream. They can be set on the ground or left on the trailer if you wanted to move them around the property as you grow. Anyway, great video bud.
@@GDSTX I feel like as a temporary thing composting toilets like are in a lot of RVs would be fine since they're technically mobile when on the trailers and running some temporary PVC lines for electric and water wouldn't be that hard. Or even just solar and like water tanks attached to them to feed water in. I dunno how the rules are over in Texas for renting out cabin type things but at least when I went to Alaska which I feel has a similar mindset governmentally to Texas the cabins just had outhouses nearby to them and a spring for water in like the center of the property and only enough solar for lighting
An hour gives us all a great escape and understand the magnitude of this project. The drone footage is superb to see! As everyone else is saying we will watch everything you put out. Watching your creativity and fun moments never gets old. Your joy for life is always encouraging. And that riverside is beautiful.
I watched the whole video without even realizing how long it was lol. The production of the videos is top notch. Music, drone shots, comic relief, nice scenery, it's all a great package for an hour long video. Keep em coming.
As a business owner, the campers are an awesome idea but for recreation if the pools are able to get up and running, I would do that as well as getting your basketball courts going that way your guests have more than just being down by the river
I love airstreams. I have a lot of nice memories of the airstream my childhood best friend had at her house. It was set up differently though, no master bedroom. The kitchen table & seating area was right in the front as you walk in and yes the table dropped down to form a bed. Then you walk towards the middle and there is a twin bed on either side and then a large bathroom on the very end, I honestly liked that set up. My friend and I would camp in it all the time on their huge property. I loved being in it when it rained or stormed, it was loud but fun.
The houses could be used for a bonus for permanent workers. Lawn care guy gets a house to be on property, maintenance man gets on, house keeping and so on
When I worked at a golf club a million years ago, the Head Grounds keeper was given a small house as part of his employment package. Be willing to bet that that is an industry standard.
1 hour, hour and a half, 4 hours... It's all worth it! Your videos are fun to watch, and the humor is phenomenal! Keep em coming, sir! Excited to see how the Resort comes out!
keep bringing the hour long plus videos. its nice i get myself some lunch and instead of having a silent house with the kids at school its like hanging out with mates. Id love to see more of the buildings been emptied. its like hoarders, meets house flippers and escape to the chateau rolled into one but Texas sized.
Great video and Resortish! Get soft start for your Airstream AC, will allow AC to start/run better on generator. Can’t wait to stop when we travel through Texas in our RV!
Matt, this is a big renovation series so the episodes need to be big too. I love these longer videos and watching you clear out rooms etc. It is all a part of the journey. 👍
Yeah like you said it looks brand new, and those airstreams are not cheap, I looked up a 2013 year and around $50,000. Retail I'm sure he shop around, me if I was doing it just for other people to stay and I would rather have 10 $5,000 campers though LOL
Matt finally realized that we will watch these videos regardless of how long they are. Keep hitting us with hour episodes!
Longer the better
I’d watch an uncut 24 hour one also 😎.
It’s a win win he gets the views and we get the views
I would watch hour long dailies!!!😊
speak for yourself, not all of people are you heh
I'm so jealous of the kid who finds this channel in 2 years and can watch every Abandoned Resort episode non stop...
I did that with the abandoned mansion series for the most part, it was almost done, but I got to binge watch like the first 20 parts in a couple days lol
I found Matt's off the ranch channel just after they bought the abandoned mansion. I looked forward to every episode and then binged the whole series all over again. It was great seeing the beginning all over. I then joined the demolition ranch and vet ranch, also Mark's and Dr Lee's channels. Looking forward to seeing these videos too!
Averaging 1 video every 5d that's 146h over 2 years. That's 6 DAYS OF VIDEOS!
@@SgtRudySmith31bRet You'd get a good 2-3 weeks of great entertainment whenever you have free time
@@ryandevy7182 yep
For me, the reason it’s not boring is because it’s so dang interesting to see the entire process of tackling a project this massive.
Honestly I prefer to watch these over tv so an hour long episode each week is something I’d put into my routine!
Hire a groundskeeper. Sooner than later. They will be invaluable in getting work done on the property while you are focused on other things, their knowledge will help with designing the grounds, and they will be immeasurably more connected and caring when you open up if they're maintaining/improving something they helped build. 🙂

Well written
100% agree
Yes great idea !
But somebody who knows what their doing with the grounds, and thinks long term for the health of the property. Not just because they are licensed and have a shingle to hang.
Matt, I think we all know this project is gonna take a LONG time. We will take as much content as you want to film!
Matt manifested this property years ago, it is very similar to his drawing on the white board.
Keep the videos of the Abandoned Resort this length, because it gives us an idea of what is really happening with it
Making part of the resort a camp ground would be an awesome idea
The campground would probably make it more successful. Campgrounds/RV parks are always busy.
A big shout-out to Mikey, he's always there to help Matt.
Yes to longer and maybe more throughout the week!
We definitely want you to keep with the one hour episodes, we want to come along every step of the way and I'm sure a lot of us wish we could just be there with you helping you do what you're doing.

I love that Mikey just spawns in whenever he is needed
Npc's are useful that way🤣
I get the feeling Matt is feeling a tad bit in over his head, im so sorry!! Hang in there Matt. As a steel fabricator we talk about huge projects and I was talking to an experienced steel detailer and he gave us the best advice that we use to this day: “how do you do the big jobs?”, “it’s like eating a big meal, one bite at a time”
As a retired former Heavy equipment operator I would love to donate my time and brains to help you folks I love your channel and what you represent
These 1 hour episodes are fantastic. Please keep doing them.
His editing has always hit my adhd right in the sweet spot, more=better
I LOVE the long format! Feels like a "this week on the desperado ranch project" TV episode rather than a youtube video. keep it up Matt!
2 almost hour long reno videos I'm loving this
You could use the huge grass area as a camping ground, so people could come in with their tents and camping gear, one facility trailer and some more generators and it's good to go!
Agreed. Also what if you had a shore power setup for RV owners?
@hendogg02 Shore Power or maybe some Solar Panels put there
Your channel is the only one that 40+mins goes by so fast and I’m not skipping or bored. Great job on the longer videos!❤
I agree. I think it feels that way because he’s taking footage from what could be two or three separate videos and combining them in just the right ways.
We love watching these vids because it's not just about renovation. It's showing us all what positivity , hard work, and dedication can do! 🤗
In my opinion matt you should stay with the longer videos for this abandoned resort project because it’s great watching all the stuff you’re doing and I love seeing all the wildlife and animals that call this beautiful place home
he needs to find some you-tube cowboys and see if they want to come do a goat round up. i don't know if they are considered as livestock gone wild, or if they are wild goats that inhabit the area. they are good for weed control, but it looks like they are a bit destructive too.
I love Mikey's energy everyone needs a good friend like that around😂

Easily watch an hour video. With Matt and his crew it's never gonna be boring!

30 mins, 1 hour, 3 hours, whatever.... What we do need, is more content of Matt and Mikey goofing around!!
I just commented the same thing! Matt and Mikey together kinda makes it more fun to watch.
I agree. I love the longer videos
Mikey is such a great piece to the puzzle and im happy to see his presence in the videos grow!
Longer videos with serious business are way more interesting than short videos with shenanigans, this was great 👍
Love the longer videos!! You know why Matt and the rest of the crew are bad ass? They’re not afraid of hard work and getting their hands dirty actually doing work themselves. I can appreciate that.
The RV is a good idea, but it is even better if you allow people to come in their own RV
Setup like his own koa. Power, water, and septic.

Definitely keep all that catering and kitchen stuff! It's expensive to buy and you'll likely need it one day for feeding guests.
That stuff is expensive and it probably stainless steel. It'll clean up like new. Just don't throw it away because if he doesn't want it believe me someone else will
Those food racks are at least $400 each
Love the 1 hour length on exploration type videos, really gives the viewer a chance to understand and interact with the projects at hand.
Long format videos with Matt and the Demo Crew are the absolute best! I really hope you keep the carpet in the Airstream. Also, the Resort's "Resort Planning" house is a great use for these early stage days/years.
Can't wait for the next installment of Abandoned Resort!
As a person that has been in this industry for 25+ years this is so much fun to watch.
It would be super cool if you kept some of the things you found and made one of the old buildings into a museum to show the history of the ranch
Most of the stuf is to rotten and durty to keep.
@@galenmarek8816 have you ever seen a museum, most of the stuff in a musuem is dirty and sometimes rotting.

So I made a recommendation in one of your earlier vids. Being in construction myself, I would recommend getting with a company that will help you "phase plan" your resort.

Because we already living with day to day stressors and complicated life, so these kind of things are far more enough for me. Keep it up.
Make the house an employee's residence (property manager or groundskeeper)! That would be a huge incentive.
Or a rental it’s a decent place
Nicer than matts house lol!!

Hour long videos are a great for this type of content. Doesn't feel like we miss a bunch this way
Can we just appreciate how Mikey and Matt just feed off of each-others energy😄
Matt, Mikey and Dave have been pure chaos lately
Lovin the dynamic :) same energy and craziness 😅 in mikey
I love the hour long episodes with more content!
The only potential issue I could see is that for me I wait until the weekend to watch them regardless of when they're uploaded so if I'm not the only one like that then it could make "trending" a little more difficult and skew the early views a bit.
This series is legit going to take YEARS. Thankful for the content and adventure!
Another 50 minute video!!❤ This one is sure to be a banger!! Can't wait till you get it all done and I'll have to save up to go done there once it is.
I'm starting to save now, I WILL go stay at the Desperado Demo ranch when it opens. 👍👍
Matt is so positive about things. Gotta love his energy
I’m loving these long videos! I sit and have my coffee time and see all the great progress you’re all doing- I’m excited to see how it all turns out.

Subscribed yesterday! (8/24/23)
Watched all of the abandoned mansion and was so impressed! I can hardly wait to see the ranch Reno! Thanks!
I think Mare, secretively has already found the hidden wine cellar, and told everyone not to tell Matt. Happy Father’s Day Matt.
Maybe the term “wine cellar” was just used in commercials, to make it sound classic… and in reality it was just a fridge…

By him filming the renovation, it becomes a business expense as well. I am sure that Matt talked to his accountant before making the purchase.
Yes Matt. We would really enjoy longer videos. I think it would be awesome to take a tour of the entire place now before you have done too much to look back at when it all is finished.

I absolutely love, long videos. My attention span is better than most. I find myself checking the off the ranch channel almost daily just wanting to get my fix of abandon resort.
One thing about Matt, hes not afraid to get his hands dirty. Loving the Abandoned Resort videos ❤
Awww man, I missed it. Papa would love that, go fishing, sit him in the water... he was on hospice and got better and is on home health. That's a good idea..
Im so stoked these past couple episodes have been close to an hour. I feel like i have to let the 15 minute episodes pile up for a while so i can binge for an hour or two
I vote longer videos!! Btw, that house isn’t bad at all. Great place for workers to stay. A little cleaning and new furniture and it could house a few people. Love this new series!!! Thanks for sharing with us all.
The longer format is great for a few reasons for me. The vloggy sections are great insights into what's going on on the property and make for good background noise too, while the montages are edited together fantastically and fun to watch. Also holy crap your drone game keeps getting better and better.
Yes! The drone shots just above the clouds was truly epic.
The Airstream is incredible! The Cadillac of travel trailers. Your children are very lucky that you include them in your adventures. Stay safe.
Hey Matt, here's a thought for a quick way to set up lodging... they sell really cool park model cabins that would be perfect for a few guys or a small family to say in. They have bedrooms and bathrooms and small kitchens. And they are considerably cheaper than that Airstream. They can be set on the ground or left on the trailer if you wanted to move them around the property as you grow. Anyway, great video bud.
Temporarily the airstream or 2 or more airstreams
Sounds cooler
Tiny Texas Homes would work as well! And they are mobile. You could set up a little village.
Infrastructure for that would cost a ton - they all need electric sewer and water
@@GDSTX I feel like as a temporary thing composting toilets like are in a lot of RVs would be fine since they're technically mobile when on the trailers and running some temporary PVC lines for electric and water wouldn't be that hard. Or even just solar and like water tanks attached to them to feed water in. I dunno how the rules are over in Texas for renting out cabin type things but at least when I went to Alaska which I feel has a similar mindset governmentally to Texas the cabins just had outhouses nearby to them and a spring for water in like the center of the property and only enough solar for lighting
An hour gives us all a great escape and understand the magnitude of this project. The drone footage is superb to see! As everyone else is saying we will watch everything you put out. Watching your creativity and fun moments never gets old. Your joy for life is always encouraging.
And that riverside is beautiful.
Please do the hour-long videos. For those who can't be there feels like we're there. Also love watching the fact you do take time to horse. LOVE IT.
Matt, I got my wife hooked on the resort videos, as long as you keep making them, we will keep watching. We love 'em
In a world dominated by short video clips, this longer format is refreshing!
Matt!! You should reach out to former employees/guests of the resort and get their story of their experience working/vacationing at the property!
That is truly a wonderful idea!!! I'm sure they have some crazy things they could share!
I watched the whole video without even realizing how long it was lol. The production of the videos is top notch. Music, drone shots, comic relief, nice scenery, it's all a great package for an hour long video. Keep em coming.
It would be awesome to see some camp grounds for tents and RV’s!
I love the longer videos. The airstream is really cool. Love watching every step of the progress on the abandoned resort.
Matt is the most charismatic vlogger on YT and the editing is awesome. I would watch a two hour video.
As a business owner, the campers are an awesome idea but for recreation if the pools are able to get up and running, I would do that as well as getting your basketball courts going that way your guests have more than just being down by the river
Lol that pool and courts not going to happen anytime soon be years.more important stuff to worry about first.
I love airstreams. I have a lot of nice memories of the airstream my childhood best friend had at her house. It was set up differently though, no master bedroom. The kitchen table & seating area was right in the front as you walk in and yes the table dropped down to form a bed. Then you walk towards the middle and there is a twin bed on either side and then a large bathroom on the very end, I honestly liked that set up. My friend and I would camp in it all the time on their huge property. I loved being in it when it rained or stormed, it was loud but fun.
Love the longer vids! The real stuff, like working and clearing the land and buildings that you have been filming, is great! Keep being you Matt!
The houses could be used for a bonus for permanent workers. Lawn care guy gets a house to be on property, maintenance man gets on, house keeping and so on
When I worked at a golf club a million years ago, the Head Grounds keeper was given a small house as part of his employment package. Be willing to bet that that is an industry standard.
Yes, I was going to say this. And possibly a place for a ranch hand to stay if they get horses in the future.
1 hour, hour and a half, 4 hours... It's all worth it! Your videos are fun to watch, and the humor is phenomenal! Keep em coming, sir! Excited to see how the Resort comes out!
We love watching you guys do anything do this place. Keep the long videos coming.
This is why I like TH-cam , it really allows creators to shine. Thanks for another great video. I’m excited to watch you transform this place.
keep bringing the hour long plus videos. its nice i get myself some lunch and instead of having a silent house with the kids at school its like hanging out with mates. Id love to see more of the buildings been emptied. its like hoarders, meets house flippers and escape to the chateau rolled into one but Texas sized.
Love the episodes. You could probably setup some solar generators in the field for the RV
Yep, clear a spot and make a desperado solar farm.
Great video and Resortish! Get soft start for your Airstream AC, will allow AC to start/run better on generator. Can’t wait to stop when we travel through Texas in our RV!
Hour Long videos are a must! The wife and I love watching.
Matt, this is a big renovation series so the episodes need to be big too. I love these longer videos and watching you clear out rooms etc. It is all a part of the journey. 👍
That's a really nice Airstream Matt. I'd definitely leave the carpet it looks great. Super clean.
Yeah like you said it looks brand new, and those airstreams are not cheap, I looked up a 2013 year and around $50,000. Retail I'm sure he shop around, me if I was doing it just for other people to stay and I would rather have 10 $5,000 campers though LOL
I love the longer videos. It makes it more of a series I can watch with my wife on Saturday mornings. It's now considered appointment viewing.
