Brenda here. It sounds to me your being realistic and think about it...Gracie is old and its home to her where she is comfortable. Your right, the right thing will come when its time. Hugs and safe travels to you both.
Good for you guys, standing your ground! Wish my hubby could do that! We just put a deposit on a 2024 Winnebago Vita. Trading our 22’ and taking a huge hit. But we want a small class c. We want to travel in comfort and be able to switch drivers, pull over easily and sleep a few hours. Be able to fit into places with ease. And we are not promised tomorrow. So we are biting the bullet and getting exactly what we want. Your time will come. Until then, your rv is beautiful! Enjoy!
Nothing wrong with dreaming but, in my book, you guys have a pretty dreamy travel trailer there! It's good thing you kept it. I think it's beautiful! Stay safe out there & don't forget to have a great time!
I agree with all the other folks commenting: You made the right decision for yourselves at this point in time. While the urge to downsize, simplify, and become a bit more nimble rig-wise is also sound, staying debt free is primary, IMO. I just turned 70 in early May and have been debt free for the first time in my entire adult life since January of 2022. I have a number of age-related health issues to address, but I absolutely refuse to incur debt to address them. So I have prioritized them instead, taking them on one at a time, as finances allow. All of the health care services I am dealing with have offered me payment options, and I just tell them "that isn't going to happen". I also believe as you both seem to also believe that if it is meant to happen, it WILL happen. That your plans to downsize this year didn't pan out seems to me adequate proof that it just wasn't meant to be, at least not yet. The upside is, the Vilano is a known and comfortable home for both of you as well as Gracie, so the many stresses of learning/shaking down a new rig won't be there. You know what your 5er needs to be road worthy (at least, as much as anyone can) and are addressing those issues before setting out, hopefully you've also made plans to make sure the truck is up to snuff, as well, thus eliminating (as best you can) possible future problems that may occur on the road. I've really enjoyed watching you make the Florida property your home base, but am very much looking forward to seeing the world thru your eyes when you are back on the road. I'm hoping you are adventurous enough to make it out west sometime again, I'd love to volunteer my extensive knowledge of the PNW and become your tour guide!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments, Lora. It sounds like we think a lot alike. The debt-free goal was not easily achieved for us, and the thought of being back in the position of owing makes us sick. Yes the truck is also getting attention. Fluids and filters are always kept fresh, and we recently put on new shocks and rotated the tires. The trip to Colorado this summer will be a confidence builder for taking longer trips in the future. We want to return to the PNW when the timing is right. We were watching our older videos of the year we lived there, and it got us all pumped up to return. Maybe we will cross paths
Wonderful idea! We downsized last year and the time was right. Went from the Landmark to a SportTrek Travel Trailer. It will happen when it is right. Cheers to safe travels and good health!
Hey! You know when you know, right? You guys said it best, why sell low and purchase high? Lots of wins in keeping this one for now, including Gracie's comfort level. I think you made a great decision! When I subscribed, it was about the time you purchased your current home, so I have not seen you guys travel. I am so looking forward to that! “...home lies in the things you carry with you everywhere and not the ones that tie you down.” ― Pico Iyer
Absolutely! You always have the most encouraging words for us! Most of our decision making revolves around out little four legged family member 😉 It will be fun to have you along on some of our travel adventures! Thank you for your kindness, stay well!
You have nothing to be ashamed of! Honestly I was kind of wondering why you would sell one and buy another one, just for a few months. Kind of a better the devil you know than the devil you don't know, right? And if some people unsubscribe because they feel you like you led them on, they are not the viewers you want. Isn't the whole idea behind this that we get to do what works for us and what we want, not what other people think?
Your rig is awesome! Who would be disappointed with that? I am looking forward to your travels and hope you enjoy yourselves no matter what decisions you make.
You guys are awesome! I really enjoy your videos and the quick witted humor that is throughout that just makes you smile. Glad you all will be getting back out there enjoying life and look forward to seeing all your adventures.
Oh this was absolutely the right decision - haI am confident everyone will be super excited that you are keeping the rig and I am soooo looking forward to your travel adventures :) xxxx
Nothing to be worried about. We’re not going anywhere. In fact I turned to the wife last week and said “they are going to keep the 5th wheel”. She laughed and agreed.
I think you have made the right decision and we will still be watching you on TH-cam . We have a small RV but we don’t camp much anymore mainly because of gas prices
Downsizing still means paying an arm and a leg! And new rvs seem to have too many issues and will spend more time getting fixed then on the road. I think it’s smart to keep what you have. Are you getting any of the flooding rains?
We said your rig is great so pretty. We are kind of thinking of going van life but in the same time ours is nice a little older. But also our older dog lovers our trailer. We also love your videos. ❤
Thank you! I think most of our decisions are based on the happiness and well being of our four legged family members 😂 Maybe we will see you on the road!
Sorry, you were not able to sell. I'm also super excited that you will be traveling again and in your familiar home.... Hope to cross paths with you guys as you head west.. Wander On- Kyle and Michelle
So glad you made the right decision. Living in AZ there is a huge market of cheep used BEAUTIFUL rigs available. We are on our 4th 5th wheel. This one is bigger then we wanted, but we couldn’t pass it up. We are just months away from full timing. We are out now and just had our first episode in 56 years of traveling. Two boulders, two wheels, & new front axel. Almost back on the road again. We do one day at a time, & this longer 36CKI is really perfect. Hope you put many more happy miles on your rig. Enjoy your videos😊
Thank you!!! Sounds like a big ouch! But 4 fifth wheels! You have some experience and will live full time! Do you have extensive travel plans or staying in one place? Maybe we will cross paths!
It's the freaking taj mahal man I've always loved your rig.. And you already know it.. that's bonus.. I sure am glad I don't gotta move it tho.. I just moved my little 20 foot trailer from one spot to another and I hated it. It's just a little trailer but it's so tedious.. I'm never moving again if I can help it. I'll live vicariously thru you guys,, 😄
I really like your trailer. It is small enough that you can take it most places and it is a very nice model. Unfortunately, in the current market you can’t really sell them for what they are worth to you. I bought my trailer new when the market was up and would lose big time if I sold it now. I went to an RV show over the winter and I couldn’t believe how poor the quality was on the new models. If these were the show models which I would think would be the best they had, I would be disappointed with a new one.
Well y’all’s decision on your rv is correct besides the problem you’re having selling also there is the Covid reality of anything you would buy new or used could be coming with the Covid curse so great job on your decision
Hey guy's. Don't be sad. We watch your content because of the fun you 2 have. Not the rig you have. Have fun and safe travels. Just can't wait to see where you are off 2.
Tammy and Scott, I kept wondering why you guys were trying to sell that rig. I think you made the perfect decision on the rig that you’re going to travel in for the next year. Arkansas, we’re not that far away from Arkansas😉. Thank you for sharing. Peace and Safe Travels.
Haven’t watch in a while. Good decision and look forward to following your travel adventures. We’re still operating from home and seeking adventure with our 4Runner to take us into the back country! 😀😀😀👍👍
So glad we are still "Vilano Vaqueros"! How does the old saying go, "if it ain't broke..." We, like you, after a cross country trip and numerous shorter trips thing we have gotten most of the bugs ironed out of our 320GK. In fact, our last trip to the Eastern Sierra was completely problem free (except for a window valance that fell of the wall and had to be screwed back in)! Heard Scott said it was time for new tires, how often or after how many miles do you replace? We have 2 years and approximately 18,000 miles on the original Cooper tires.
Glad you got the bugs worked out and are enjoying the rig now. We decided to change tires mainly because we haven’t moved in a year and even before that we stayed long term in some places. We are following advice that sitting still especially with lots of UV Exposure can lead to weakening the tires. It’s probably overkill but We feel that it would be worth the price for the peace of mind. It’s a decision we must make for ourselves. Thanks for reaching out
My thoughts: smart move! Yall have a great 5th wheel! The campers they are making today are… Well I’m just gonna say it…crap!! Your camper is beautiful! We have a 30 foot pull behind. We bought it new in 2019, before the covid campers! And we have had nothing but problems with it! We just put brand new Goodyear Endurance tires on it Saturday. I had my husband park it out front so I could air it out from being winterized and opened the awning up. When it was close to dark, I went out to close it up and put in the awning, the roll bar broke loose of the arm!! If it’s not one thing, it’s another!! 🙄🙄🙄 Mind you that we only use it a few times a year. And the china bomb tires had to go! So stick with what you know and Happy Camping and Safe Travels!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi Lynn! Thanks for the support. It’s definitely tough to find something that feels quality! We are relieved to take that off the plate and just enjoy for now. Appreciate you!!
Don’t think for a moment you need to explain your decision about keeping your current camper. It is beautiful and if it makes the 3 of you happy, ENJOY!!!! Besides, you can save all that TH-cam $$$ you receive and splurge on something else! (Lol! Just kidding!) I’ve watched your channel for awhile, but that comment made me subscribe! I’m still laughing!! Well done!!
I have always thought you should keep your rig. It is a depreciating asset but it is a VERY NICE RV and I would keep it. As for me, I feel I now own the last RV I will ever own. It is my second one and I really like it. It is a 2023 Jayco 29RL Whitehawk. It is perfect for me and my wife and our little Chihuahua mix, Baxter. I can tow it with my 2022 F-150 V8 with no problem. It is just the right size to park at any camp ground or state park. You all made the right choice in my opinion. Tammy, I do not think your comments lead anyone on. I really enjoy your YT channel and I hope some day to run into you all out and about. Enjoy your travels this summer.
Thank you so much for your kindness and support! Your little Baxter is adorable! Sounds like you have a perfect sized rig! Travel safe and maybe we will cross paths!
Not the right time to sell.... and this is why we will continue to travel in our 2011 Class A Bounder Classic 34b. It is easy to get into any National or State Park. We have put over 70K miles on it, no leaks, everything works, it's old but so are we. Happy travels.
Scott, I agree with your comment of how it's hard to keep up with the Joneses....but imagine the difficulty of being a Jones and having to stay ahead of everyone else....lol
Okay, I think you have the most awesome rig for many reasons. So much so that I actually wished we could buy yours, but as you found out, that wouldn’t work out financially for us on either end. So I was left with just being bummed that you guys wouldn’t be traveling in it, and I wouldn’t see it anymore. So I’m completely thrilled it has turned out this way. If you’re ever up in Wisconsin, we have hook ups and a lake view. So drop on by!
You made the perfect decision. Time to come back to the Northwest though. We are headed to the Steens National Forest this summer. I've lived in Oregon my whole life and never been. Safe travels this summer.
Our adversity to RV life is the fact that my daughter needs to be carried up and down the stairs. We are fortunate enough to have an RV that her wheelchair fits into the door. I'm happy for you guys for not selling your rig. Everybody's comfortable in it and you already know what to expect. Plus Gracie likes it. I'm looking forward to seeing where you take us.
Smartest thing you could do. So now, travel and just have fun and new experiences and memories. We are super excited and happy for you. Scott already has everything set up right, yippee back on the road again .❤❤ Bill and Annee
I think you made a wise decision. We don't always appreciate what we have, but when people tell you how great your RV is, that tells you something. Hope you head to N. Ga. in your travels. There are some great places here. The Ellijay, Blue Ridge area is great.
Love your videos, you two are so enjoyable to watch. Have enjoyed your home renovation. Honestly for now I think you definitely made the correct decision keeping your Vilano, it is a great unit. Safe travels this summer! Don't compromise your values!
I'm 64 and travel with my 86 year old mom with dementia. I'm not in the best if health and have a bad back. I cannot just bend down and hookup my 30' travel trailer. I use a foldable camping ottoman to sit on to hookup and unhook. It takes me 2 days because I can't do it all in one. I move my little ottoman from corner to corner to set the stabilizers, do the electric, water, and sewer. It's even worse in the heat. I make it work because we both love the full-time rv life. ❤
Wow! You are incredible! I know you’ve shared this with us before and I’m impressed! Thank you for inspiring us! Excited to get out there. If we are ever in the same spot we would be happy to help you hook up 💙
You guys are awesome! I really enjoy your videos and the quick witted humor that is throughout that just makes you smile. Glad you all will be getting back out there enjoying life and look forward to seeing all your adventures. you did right by keeping it for now. We understand how that goes.
The decision to "hold-em" was very wise. We are excited to see your new old rig. Very proud that you didn't do what everyone else expected. Wise financial decision to stay debt free - that's a great feeling isn't it!! For us, our " hold-em" decision was to not buy any RV during the "rona" insanity and the turmoil that has overrun the entire economy since then. Safe travels.
Every rig has its little quirks and you are already well acquainted with the Van Leigh which means no learning curve. Just hook up and go! Enjoy the journey.
So true! I’m sure as with most RVs we will still have things pop up but it feels like home so off we will go! Thank you for watching and appreciate the comments too!
It was still a surprise in a way and fun to hear you go through all the pros and cons one should think about. You would have regretted losing more money on it so, yes, wait for better timing, And meanwhile enjoy all the places this one can take you even if it's a bit more work!!
I hear yea Scott and Tammy we have a smaller rig than you guys have and I was doing the same thing looking at something else but can only got offers for less than half of what I paid for it and still got a truck payment so I’m in the same boat I would keep the fifth wheel it’s nice and clean and paid for ❤
Thanks Brian, we didn’t realize how soft the market had become until we listed it. It would be a great time to buy if we didn’t have to sell too. Thanks for your support
It really is all about the adventure. We can spend so much time and energy wanting something different that we forget to just get out there. Thanks for watching
We were shocked too 🤣. Yes, it feels like a weight lifted and this year we can focus on travel and fun and let the things unfold as they should not forced 😘. Thank you!
Thank you all for your endless encouragement and kindness as we navigate through our life’s journey and share it with you!! We have the best community !!! Also, don’t forget you can connect with us on our website and blog too 🤗. www.TilFurtherNotice.com
Brenda here. It sounds to me your being realistic and think about it...Gracie is old and its home to her where she is comfortable. Your right, the right thing will come when its time. Hugs and safe travels to you both.
Hi Brenda! Gracie was a big deciding factor in our thinking for sure!!
Stick with what you know, nothing wrong with that. Sucks to get old, 😊
Yea the thought of getting a grab bag of new problems was a big factor.
Glad you kept it. 👍
Us too! What a relief
❤ so happy you kept it and can’t wait for you to get out camping again!
Thanks for following along. We are excited to get back out there.
Good for you guys, standing your ground! Wish my hubby could do that! We just put a deposit on a 2024 Winnebago Vita. Trading our 22’ and taking a huge hit. But we want a small class c. We want to travel in comfort and be able to switch drivers, pull over easily and sleep a few hours. Be able to fit into places with ease. And we are not promised tomorrow. So we are biting the bullet and getting exactly what we want.
Your time will come. Until then, your rv is beautiful! Enjoy!
Thank you Julie! It sounds perfect for you! I find that most RVers switch rigs a lot! You’ll have so much fun. Maybe we will cross paths this year!
Nothing wrong with dreaming but, in my book, you guys have a pretty dreamy travel trailer there! It's good thing you kept it. I think it's beautiful! Stay safe out there & don't forget to have a great time!
Thank you! We agree! We are excited to get back out there!
In our humble opinion, you did the right thing to keep your beautiful Vanleigh! Now go have fun on the road!
Love your videos! 👍🇺🇸
Thank you so very much!
Our camper was stolen 2 years ago and when buying the new camper we found the perfect camper for me and my husband we bought a 2016 palomino puma 19rl
oh wow! I'm sorry you went through that and am happy you found a perfect fit! Happy travels and stay safe!
I agree with all the other folks commenting: You made the right decision for yourselves at this point in time. While the urge to downsize, simplify, and become a bit more nimble rig-wise is also sound, staying debt free is primary, IMO. I just turned 70 in early May and have been debt free for the first time in my entire adult life since January of 2022. I have a number of age-related health issues to address, but I absolutely refuse to incur debt to address them. So I have prioritized them instead, taking them on one at a time, as finances allow. All of the health care services I am dealing with have offered me payment options, and I just tell them "that isn't going to happen". I also believe as you both seem to also believe that if it is meant to happen, it WILL happen. That your plans to downsize this year didn't pan out seems to me adequate proof that it just wasn't meant to be, at least not yet. The upside is, the Vilano is a known and comfortable home for both of you as well as Gracie, so the many stresses of learning/shaking down a new rig won't be there. You know what your 5er needs to be road worthy (at least, as much as anyone can) and are addressing those issues before setting out, hopefully you've also made plans to make sure the truck is up to snuff, as well, thus eliminating (as best you can) possible future problems that may occur on the road.
I've really enjoyed watching you make the Florida property your home base, but am very much looking forward to seeing the world thru your eyes when you are back on the road. I'm hoping you are adventurous enough to make it out west sometime again, I'd love to volunteer my extensive knowledge of the PNW and become your tour guide!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments, Lora. It sounds like we think a lot alike. The debt-free goal was not easily achieved for us, and the thought of being back in the position of owing makes us sick. Yes the truck is also getting attention. Fluids and filters are always kept fresh, and we recently put on new shocks and rotated the tires. The trip to Colorado this summer will be a confidence builder for taking longer trips in the future. We want to return to the PNW when the timing is right. We were watching our older videos of the year we lived there, and it got us all pumped up to return. Maybe we will cross paths
You made perfect sense in your decision. Enjoy!
Thank you so much!
Y'all are just fine. You do you boo!! Just keep on living and dreaming and making your journey come true.
Love it! Thank you so much!
Wonderful idea! We downsized last year and the time was right. Went from the Landmark to a SportTrek Travel Trailer. It will happen when it is right. Cheers to safe travels and good health!
That’s great that you pulled off the downsize. We hope you are loving your lighter and more nimble rv. Thanks for reaching out
Glad you all are getting out again!
We are looking forward to it!
Your 5th wheel is Awesome. Keep on trucking 😊
Thank you!!
I'm pleased personally for you both and Gracy, you all know that rig, as you said. I think it's beautifully stunning xx
Thanks so much for your encouragement
I just love watching you guys! I laugh all the way through! Safe travels!! Hope to see you on the road some day!
Thanks so much! I'm glad we can lighten your day with a laugh or two!!! Flag us down if you see us out and about, always fun meeting fellow RVers!
Excited for you and to see you on the road again! Safe travels.

We’re doing the same. Decided to love our rig, we know the problems…so we are good to go for at least another year or two!
Great minds think alike! Glad we are not alone...maybe we will see you out on the road!
I would keep your trailer too! It is very nice. Have fun you guys! ❤
Thanks so much!
Super!! Very great news and Enjoy!!!
Thanks so much!
Seems to me you made a darned good choice in ‘new’ rigs.
Thanks so much for the positive affirmation
We love our 27 foot TT
That is a perfect size!!
I can relate too.... Funny..
I'm glad we are not alone! thank you for watching!
You have nothing to be ashamed of! Honestly I was kind of wondering why you would sell one and buy another one, just for a few months. Kind of a better the devil you know than the devil you don't know, right? And if some people unsubscribe because they feel you like you led them on, they are not the viewers you want.

New Subscriber! Thank You For Your Honesty!! Give Gracie A Hug For Me!!!
Thank you
Nothing to be ashamed of keeping your trailer. If everyone is happy with it.....keep it.
Right! If it ain’t broken….thanks for the encouragement
Smart smart smart!! Enjoy!
Thanks for the feedback and for watching
Your rig is awesome! Who would be disappointed with that? I am looking forward to your travels and hope you enjoy yourselves no matter what decisions you make.
Thanks so much! That means a lot! We are excited to get back out in her!
You guys are awesome! I really enjoy your videos and the quick witted humor that is throughout that just makes you smile. Glad you all will be getting back out there enjoying life and look forward to seeing all your adventures.
Thanks so much! Comments like yours are what keep us inspired!
Oh this was absolutely the right decision - haI am confident everyone will be super excited that you are keeping the rig and I am soooo looking forward to your travel adventures :) xxxx
Thank you Claire!!! We are excited to get back out in the road and explore!!! Hope you are doing great!!
Your rig is beautiful. Can't wait to travel vicariously through you. I am 16 months from retirement. Not that I am counting. 😊
Thanks Anna! Woohoo. You are So close to the finish line and then the adventure begins!
Nothing to be worried about. We’re not going anywhere. In fact I turned to the wife last week and said “they are going to keep the 5th wheel”. She laughed and agreed.
🤣🤣. I’m glad you predicted right then! Thank you for tagging along and your comment!
I think you have made the right decision and we will still be watching you on TH-cam . We have a small RV but we don’t camp much anymore mainly because of gas prices
@@pammartin3554 thank you! Yes, prices are steep everywhere
I'm so glad you're keeping it! It's so nice and all of your work on it made it 'yours'. I hope y'all enjoy your travels!
Thank you! We are anxious to be back out on the road!
Good for you. Your rig is beautiful and if you love it stay with it. I can't wait to see you traveling again. Thanks for the video.
Thanks so much! It really is beautiful! We are excited to be back on the road!
As Dorothy says as she's clicking her heals...there's no place like the old camper.
That’s right Bert! We are looking forward to getting back out there!
Downsizing still means paying an arm and a leg! And new rvs seem to have too many issues and will spend more time getting fixed then on the road. I think it’s smart to keep what you have. Are you getting any of the flooding rains?
Yes change comes with a cost. This was a Covid build bet we think we got all the bugs out. The rain torrents have been south of us so far
We said your rig is great so pretty. We are kind of thinking of going van life but in the same time ours is nice a little older. But also our older dog lovers our trailer. We also love your videos. ❤
Thank you! I think most of our decisions are based on the happiness and well being of our four legged family members 😂 Maybe we will see you on the road!
Gracie must be happy that you are keeping it. "Better the devil you know", if you get my drift.
She is elated and very excited to travel! Thanks for the encouragement
Sorry, you were not able to sell. I'm also super excited that you will be traveling again and in your familiar home.... Hope to cross paths with you guys as you head west.. Wander On- Kyle and Michelle
Thanks you two for always being supportive.
So glad to follow you on your upcoming adventures- glad to see you traveling again and also glad you decided to keep tag a long 😊
Thanks so much! We are excited to get back out there and travel!

It's the freaking taj mahal man I've always loved your rig..
And you already know it.. that's bonus..
I sure am glad I don't gotta move it tho..
I just moved my little 20 foot trailer from one spot to another and I hated it.
It's just a little trailer but it's so tedious..
I'm never moving again if I can help it.
I'll live vicariously thru you guys,, 😄
Haha! Thanks Dan! The moving is the least favorite part for sure but oh the places we will go and it’s so nice having our home on wheels with us!
I really like your trailer. It is small enough that you can take it most places and it is a very nice model. Unfortunately, in the current market you can’t really sell them for what they are worth to you. I bought my trailer new when the market was up and would lose big time if I sold it now.

Hi Mike! Yes, we totally felt the same way! For now we are excited to get rolling again! Thanks for tagging along and safe travels to you!
Well y’all’s decision on your rv is correct besides the problem you’re having selling also there is the Covid reality of anything you would buy new or used could be coming with the Covid curse so great job on your decision
Thanks for the encouragement. It is a Covid build but we think we’ve worked through all of that
Hey guy's. Don't be sad. We watch your content because of the fun you 2 have. Not the rig you have. Have fun and safe travels. Just can't wait to see where you are off 2.
Thank you for the kind words and thanks for tagging along with us
I agree that you made the right decision. Enjoy your travels. Maybe we will meet you out there someday.
Thanks so much for that! Be looking for us we will be out there!
Congratulations on making a decision!! 👏👏 That's a rough reality! 👍 Going on the road again in your (now) second home will be fun!! 🤗😍
Yes it will seem roomy inside now that we aren’t full time. It will be our vacation cabin on wheels. Thanks for the thumbs up
@TilFurtherNotice Gracie will be so happy! 😊 You're welcome! 🤗😍
Tammy and Scott, I kept wondering why you guys were trying to sell that rig. I think you made the perfect decision on the rig that you’re going to travel in for the next year. Arkansas, we’re not that far away from Arkansas😉. Thank you for sharing. Peace and Safe Travels.
Hi Friends! That is actually validating hearing you say that 😂 Thank you! We will have to see if our timing aligns! Be great to see you both again!
Haven’t watch in a while. Good decision and look forward to following your travel adventures. We’re still operating from home and seeking adventure with our 4Runner to take us into the back country! 😀😀😀👍👍
Hi Lynn! You’re in a great place for all of that off road fun and beauty! Thanks for checking back in with us!

My thoughts: smart move! Yall have a great 5th wheel! The campers they are making today are… Well I’m just gonna say it…crap!! Your camper is beautiful! We have a 30 foot pull behind. We bought it new in 2019, before the covid campers! And we have had nothing but problems with it! We just put brand new Goodyear Endurance tires on it Saturday. I had my husband park it out front so I could air it out from being winterized and opened the awning up. When it was close to dark, I went out to close it up and put in the awning, the roll bar broke loose of the arm!! If it’s not one thing, it’s another!! 🙄🙄🙄 Mind you that we only use it a few times a year. And the china bomb tires had to go! So stick with what you know and Happy Camping and Safe Travels!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi Lynn! Thanks for the support. It’s definitely tough to find something that feels quality! We are relieved to take that off the plate and just enjoy for now. Appreciate you!!
Don’t think for a moment you need to explain your decision about keeping your current camper. It is beautiful and if it makes the 3 of you happy, ENJOY!!!! Besides, you can save all that TH-cam $$$ you receive and splurge on something else! (Lol! Just kidding!) I’ve watched your channel for awhile, but that comment made me subscribe! I’m still laughing!! Well done!!
Hello! Thank you for the positive feedback and for making us laugh in return! Thank you for subscribing and following our journey!
I have always thought you should keep your rig. It is a depreciating asset but it is a VERY NICE RV and I would keep it. As for me, I feel I now own the last RV I will ever own. It is my second one and I really like it. It is a 2023 Jayco 29RL Whitehawk. It is perfect for me and my wife and our little Chihuahua mix, Baxter. I can tow it with my 2022 F-150 V8 with no problem. It is just the right size to park at any camp ground or state park. You all made the right choice in my opinion. Tammy, I do not think your comments lead anyone on. I really enjoy your YT channel and I hope some day to run into you all out and about. Enjoy your travels this summer.
Thank you so much for your kindness and support! Your little Baxter is adorable! Sounds like you have a perfect sized rig! Travel safe and maybe we will cross paths!
VERY sensible decision! Nobody is disappointed in you... Looking forward to sharing your adventures this summer via video!
Thank you so much!!!
Not the right time to sell.... and this is why we will continue to travel in our 2011 Class A Bounder Classic 34b. It is easy to get into any National or State Park. We have put over 70K miles on it, no leaks, everything works, it's old but so are we. Happy travels.
Sounds like you have a perfect rv! Have fun traveling and look for us out in the road!
Scott, I agree with your comment of how it's hard to keep up with the Joneses....but imagine the difficulty of being a Jones and having to stay ahead of everyone else....lol
🤣🤣🤣. Classic! Thanks for watching!
I personally think you made the right choice to keep what you have, has absolutely one of the best looking interiors out there.
Thank you! It does feel like we have a cabin in the woods wherever we go!
Okay, I think you have the most awesome rig for many reasons. So much so that I actually wished we could buy yours, but as you found out, that wouldn’t work out financially for us on either end. So I was left with just being bummed that you guys wouldn’t be traveling in it, and I wouldn’t see it anymore. So I’m completely thrilled it has turned out this way. If you’re ever up in Wisconsin, we have hook ups and a lake view. So drop on by!
Thank you for your kind comment! We are excited to get out traveling again and sure appreciate your offer!!!! 💙💙
You made the perfect decision. Time to come back to the Northwest though. We are headed to the Steens National Forest this summer. I've lived in Oregon my whole life and never been. Safe travels this summer.
Thank you! We were actually just talking about needing to go back! We miss it! Let us know how your trip goes!
Our adversity to RV life is the fact that my daughter needs to be carried up and down the stairs. We are fortunate enough to have an RV that her wheelchair fits into the door.
I'm happy for you guys for not selling your rig. Everybody's comfortable in it and you already know what to expect. Plus Gracie likes it.
I'm looking forward to seeing where you take us.
So cool that you are out adventuring despite the challenges. Thanks for your encouragement and for following. We appreciate it more than you know
Awesome
Camper glad your keeping
Diet

FASTING eat two meals a day within 8 yours

Thanks so much
Smartest thing you could do. So now, travel and just have fun and new experiences and memories. We are super excited and happy for you. Scott already has everything set up right, yippee back on the road again
.❤❤
Bill and Annee
Thanks friends! We are excited to get back rolling! 💙💙💙
I think you made a wise decision. We don't always appreciate what we have, but when people tell you how great your RV is, that tells you something. Hope you head to N. Ga. in your travels. There are some great places here. The Ellijay, Blue Ridge area is great.
Thanks for the encouraging words. Yes we are looking forward to exploring north Georgia and it’s now so close
Love your videos, you two are so enjoyable to watch. Have enjoyed your home renovation. Honestly for now I think you definitely made the correct decision keeping your Vilano, it is a great unit.
Safe travels this summer! Don't compromise your values!
Thank you so much for the kind and supportive comment! We look forward to getting back out on the road!
I'm 64 and travel with my 86 year old mom with dementia. I'm not in the best if health and have a bad back. I cannot just bend down and hookup my 30' travel trailer. I use a foldable camping ottoman to sit on to hookup and unhook. It takes me 2 days because I can't do it all in one. I move my little ottoman from corner to corner to set the stabilizers, do the electric, water, and sewer. It's even worse in the heat. I make it work because we both love the full-time rv life. ❤
Wow! You are incredible! I know you’ve shared this with us before and I’m impressed! Thank you for inspiring us! Excited to get out there. If we are ever in the same spot we would be happy to help you hook up 💙
I'm glad you kept.the rig. Living quarters, whether on the road or on land, is expensive . When the market is tough, most of us would do what you did.
Thanks for taking the time to reach out and for watching
You guys are awesome! I really enjoy your videos and the quick witted humor that is throughout that just makes you smile. Glad you all will be getting back out there enjoying life and look forward to seeing all your adventures. you did right by keeping it for now. We understand how that goes.
Thanks so much! We are excited to get back out there!!
The decision to "hold-em" was very wise. We are excited to see your new old rig. Very proud that you didn't do what everyone else expected. Wise financial decision to stay debt free - that's a great feeling isn't it!! For us, our " hold-em" decision was to not buy any RV during the "rona" insanity and the turmoil that has overrun the entire economy since then. Safe travels.
We like the Kenny rogers philosophy. Thanks for the encouragement and for watching
Every rig has its little quirks and you are already well acquainted with the Van Leigh which means no learning curve. Just hook up and go! Enjoy the journey.
So true! I’m sure as with most RVs we will still have things pop up but it feels like home so off we will go! Thank you for watching and appreciate the comments too!
Great choice! I'm not disappointed at all. Looking forward to seeing your adventures. 🤗
Thanks so much!
You made the right decision! Advice from Sayre, Oklahoma. You stayed at our local rv park overnight.
Thank you! That was a great park they brought food right to our door!
It was still a surprise in a way and fun to hear you go through all the pros and cons one should think about. You would have regretted losing more money on it so, yes, wait for better timing, And meanwhile enjoy all the places this one can take you even if it's a bit more work!!
Yes fear of sellers remorse got us in the end. Thanks so much for watching and reaching out
I hear yea Scott and Tammy we have a smaller rig than you guys have and I was doing the same thing looking at something else but can only got offers for less than half of what I paid for it and still got a truck payment so I’m in the same boat I would keep the fifth wheel it’s nice and clean and paid for ❤
Thanks Brian, we didn’t realize how soft the market had become until we listed it. It would be a great time to buy if we didn’t have to sell too. Thanks for your support
If you have a good fit why change it? Plus you don't have to figure out where to put stuff and you know it's good quality. Enjoy your rig!
Thanks so much for following along.
Your rig is beautiful - adventure is calling! ❤
Thank you! Excited to go exploring!
Great decision process! Very happy for you guys. Blessings!
Thank you so very much! We appreciate the kind and positive feedback!
I think keeping the RV you have is a good choice for now. Like you said now might not be the right time. If its paid for and you like it keep going.
Thank you so much! We are excited to get back out there!
It’s all about the adventure and if you’re happy then hit the road and enjoy. Hope you’re felling better.
It really is all about the adventure. We can spend so much time and energy wanting something different that we forget to just get out there. Thanks for watching
It’s always fun to look but keeping your rig was a smart move. Keep on having adventures!
Thank you! Sure appreciate that
Excited to see you all back on some RV adventures! When the time is right change will happen.
Can’t wait to meet up again! Travel safe!
Still subscribed.. great decision. You do you. Safe travels
Thanks much for the encouragement
Totally makes sense to me for now. Ya'll are too funny at the end. I do have to admit I was a little surprised to not see something different.
Thank you for watching. Til further notice this one will be just fine
Well that was a shocker but happy for you. And isn’t a relief that the search is over? Go have fun!
We were shocked too 🤣. Yes, it feels like a weight lifted and this year we can focus on travel and fun and let the things unfold as they should not forced 😘. Thank you!
Smart decision to keep that beautiful 5th wheel. Now get put there and be free again!!🎉
Thank you! We look forward to getting out on the open road!
Sounds good to me! The stage is set! Don't make me take off my belt! Good luck and have fun!
🤣🤣🤣. We are excited to get rolling again. Please keep your belt on 🤣
Perfect choice for your circumstances. Enjoy your travels!
Thanks for the affirmation and for following along
Nothing wrong with what you said. You all are doing the right thing to keep what you have. Now get out there and see more of our great nation.
Thank you! We plan on it!
You folks are great! My wife and I certainly can relate. Thanks for the great content 😊
Thank you John, thanks for tagging along with us
Good decision, we came to the same conclusion just looking at rigs. Have a great summer 😁
Thanks so much. You have a great summer as well
That’s a great decision guys, you have a great rig. Have a great adventure
Thank you Mark!!
Love your rig! But probably can’t afford it! Keeping it is a great idea.
Thank you for reaching out and following along
...Remember ...There's No Crying in Baseball!
And don’t sweat the small stuff 😊
Looking forward to seeing you back out adventuring! ❤
Thank you!!!
It’s a beautiful trailer. I guessed that would be the case when I saw the new garage.
Yea we now have a garage to keep everything dry except the trailer. We may look into an rv port in the future. Thanks for watching
I'm excited to see you in your current rv. I love that thing.
Thank you!
I knew you would end up keeping what you have already, lol.
Lol, thanks much
I am afraid the term rugged and travel trailer is an oxymoron.
🤣. You may be right!
No worries, totally agree. Stayin with ya so go enjoy ❤
Thanks so much!
