ℹ️About the episode:
If you're going to RV full-time or downsizing... how to handle your "stuff" can be overwhelming. Your storage unit tends to reflect your future plans. When we first started traveling the US by RV, we were prepared to return and furnish a smaller house. When we decided to continue to travel, our storage unit became an unwanted expense and after four years, we had to do something about it! In this video, we share some tips to help you avoid mistakes when it comes to downsizing or storing your things.

Trish wrote a blog about decluttering and downsizing: Is your clutter costing you your dream?
www.keepyourdaydream.com/downsize/
Are you ready for the next big event in your life? Not surprisingly, opportunity and change come after preparation. When we’re busy managing our stuff, we can be distracted from seeing new possibilities of a new path often leading us to our dream.
Beginning the process of decluttering and downsizing can put you in the driver seat of your life and help you answer the tough questions that can lead you to what you’ve been looking for.
This blog will help you with the following:
How to get started
The hidden cost of clutter
The difference between decluttering and downsizing
How to donate in the best way possible
Tricks to keep up with your progress
How to avoid storage mistakes with 10 ways to store better
After seeing this I think when I get ready to full time, I'm going to take everything out of the house that will go into the fifth wheel toy hauler and then just stick a big sign up out in the yard, "HOUSE AND CONTENTS FOR SALE." Be safe out there, my prayers are with you and the family.
I love these parents because they have authority over their kids in a very loving way, GREAT PARENTS! many should learn from them!
The “start over again” montage was amazing.
Right? Awesome.
Had me getting choked up for sure
Oh my gosh! The end of that video was emotional!!! I have loved following your journey! You emanate such joy. Thanks for bringing us along and giving us tips along the way!!
When we moved across the country, my wife was able to tap into her “military child” upbringing and use her “are you emotionally attached to this” question with me and when I hesitated she would say “someone else needs it”. It helps a pack rat like me to have a spouse that had to learn at a young age how to downsize.
You people have no idea how wonderful and creative all your videos are. Thank you and God Bless and keep you all healthy and happy!
I love the phrase of “Mental RAM”. It’s just a great description what a constant battle it is to keep the stuff manageable.
How you turn a storage overhaul into a fun video is beyond me. Haha. Great job!!
My wife is awesome at keeping our house tidy and not hoarding anything. We're always looking at what we can get rid of. When the day comes for us to RV full time, it'll be an easy transition for us.
And wow, that last few mins of nostalgia gave me goosebumps. We have two boys the same ages as yours and I still can't get over how much they grow in 4 yrs. Cheers to you as always!
Boy does that bring back memories!! I have watched you guys from day one and watched you all grow. It makes you feel like family as silly as that sounds. I just retired and when this virus calms down, we are off in the RV. Not full time, but any time! All the best to you and yours.
I have two regrets. 1. Keeping things out of sentimental value, then selling they five years later for much less. 2. Paying to store stuff. I paid more than I would have spent to buy new. I had a box in the garage when I moved. Marked "living room". I stored it for 22 years, finally opened it and it was coffee table magazines and a brass alligator. Wha...??
“A house is just a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more stuff.”
George Carlin
George's whole routine on "stuff" was a life lesson I still follow to this day :-)
I kept thinking the same bit...
You guys are so good at story telling. You made a boring topic of decluttering into a story. Well done!
I can’t believe I’ve have been watching you for four years. Wow!
I rarely comment on TH-cam videos, but this episode really got me. Look how far you’ve come in just a handful of years! Your family’s journey is quite inspiring. My husband and I are young empty nesters in our mid-forties and we just bought a travel trailer. Your adventures and KYD philosophy have been instrumental in helping us arrive at the decision to travel more.
Marie Kondo: "Does it spark joy?' is a good question to ask whilst holding each piece. If not, thank it for its service and let it go. She also says that sentimental items you can take a photo of it and then let it go. They have worked for me!
Opened a bottle of my favourite red wine, sat down and binge watched Season 6 from NZ.
Perfect Sunday! 👌☺️
The montage at the end was the BEST, most INSPIRING footage you have ever produced. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Has it been four years already?! Seems like yesterday. I'm so glad y'all decided to share your adventures with the rest of us. 😊
We built shelves from 1x2 and 1/4” plywood. Using cross supports in back. Each freestanding -4 shelf case used one sheet of plywood. This allowed access to everything with a walkway. Less damage to the items and less stress when something was needed.
Great to see the beginning.
I have the opposite problem, I don't want to keep anything but because I have a Barndominium my family wants me to be the storage unit. I have learned to say no. And that has been hard for me.
God bless you and your family.
Needed this! We are doing round 3 of downsizing since we have our new rig and more "view" but less storage. We love it but we are having to get rid of more stuff. It's a good thing! Simple is better always! Watching this, I cannot tell you how much respect and admiration I have for you as parents. Your children are phenomenal and so "together". Love watching them grow up and "out" and seeing what their lives are becoming. It feels like we have known you all our lives (even though it's only been 4 years) and it's so fun to watch the changes that we all go through but you make positive and fun! Thanks for keeping everything in perspective and giving us food for thought, a better perspective on life and "dips", and ways to make our lives better. Your family has been a blessing to us all and we can't thank you enough for sharing your lives, your philosophy, and your family with us!
I forgot that Maddie had you guys “trained” right from the beginning! Pick me up and tote me....lol!
I still miss her!
I loved your family sign! So awesome! After I retired, a couple of years ago,the first thing I did was declutter closets and drawers. I am finding I didn’t get rid of nearly enough! It’s funny what you think you can’t live without . Stay safe and healthy. 👍❤️
4 years ago I sold my entire life off and moved to South America in two trips, with a total of 8 suitcases. I've kept it simple and it was the best decision I ever made. Minimal and content. And not much I would keep either. I could easily sell off most of this too.
Marc and Trish, when you showed the boxes w/ the #'s on them (for storage), it reminded me of when I moved from CA to the midwest. I used a Word.doc, but, the same principle; with a modification. Instead of "just" a number, I used a "code ltr AND a number;" e.g., LR-1, LR-2, BR1-1, BR1-2, BR2-1, BR2-2 (Living Room, Bedroom #1, Bedroom #2), then, writing (later transcribing) the contents as they went into that box. I have to say, it made unpacking a LOT easier. Actually, when the movers got to the new property, I had the boxes separated by room (LR, BR-1, BR-2, K(itchen) 1, K-2) in the garage, so it made it easier as each room was unboxed. You had some very good tips, indeed; loved the one-year rule (not used in a year = it goes!
Hope everyone is doing well, during this time of virus.
Y'all Be Safe!
We've been having those storage unit conversations too... especially since I know that in ours there is a box of my great grandmother's wall sconces that have not been unpacked since her death in 1976... some boxes have become a tradition of being passed along unopened. Stay healthy. Blessed be.
We. Moved from a 3200 sq ft house to a 1200 sq ft house 6-1/2 years ago. There was 7 rooms we didn't live in. One of the best decisions we ever made. Very manageable !
You had me in tears! The downsizing has been so rough! We’re taking it one day at a time. We do want land to set our RV and then build a cabin, so we need to be very careful not to let go of crucial tools and favorite pieces, but at the same time recognize what stuff was never that important anyway. Thanks for posting!
By the end of our process, when we'd sold the house and were having the last garage sale, we were practically giving things away. We were...DONE.
I really felt the nostalgia and warmth from the closing clips-esp seeing your passed fur baby and how young the kids were.
Y’all have so gracefully handled the kids growing older (and out). The manner you traveled w is so inspirational, showing us how beautiful life is when you flow w it in a fun, learners approach
The family values picture was amazing. Love it. Thank u for sharing
We cleaned out our storage 2 months ago. Luckily the universe gave us a bit of a nudge to get rid of everything we didn’t need... rats got it and ate everything while we were on the road...
It gave us a chance to purge. Purge expensive items and items with much sentimental value, but purge none the less and we felt so much better after! It gives us some piece of mind when we get back on the road!
I’m always impressed with the way you build your videos. We will always look up to you, learn as we go, and enjoy you sharing your lives with us!
Oh my gosh! Teared up with your footage of the kids when they were little! Cannot believe i have been following your family for sooo long. Love you guys!
I actually cried with a huge smile on my face when the video got to the end where it started to reminisce about your first trailer and your first travels. What a beautiful family and what a beautiful life you guys have given to your children ❤️ Excited to continue watching you're beautiful journey together💕God bless and stay safe💕
We've been here for every video since the "Sailboat" days and have enjoyed every scene, clip & frame! Congrats on keeping your Daydream alive!
That's great. Wanting to sail started this whole thing, but there is still so much to do in the RV! Thanks for being here so long!
The "placemat" example demonstrates how you guys do not do the standard thing but go all in and do it big time. I missed having Caleb behind you throughout the video.
I love the canvas that had your family values and credo.... what an awesome idea!
I divorced 2 years ago and moved into new (at the time) 26' Coleman trailer...everything I own, everything, fits into my trailer (and a bit in the truck). That's 55 years whittled down to less than 200 sq ft!! It can be done........and I love it. The few family heirlooms went to my 34-year-old son.
Someone once told me to ask myself "What will I get for this at the garage sale" whenever I was contemplating buying something. It works!
I also wanted to say thanks, you guys were a huge motivation for us when we started our journey to be full timers 2 years ago. Now we're approaching our first anniversary on the road (April 1st), and we love our lives.
Oh, WOW!! Very good life lessons on decluttering Trish and great job!!! I love my cast iron enamel painted Dutch pans too!!!
I don't know why I'm saying this but I've watched your Sunday night videos every Sunday for many weeks but this episode I started then went back today to finish, OMG The "memory lane" at the end was OH MY GOODNESS the sweetest memories and seeing Mattie bought a tear to my eye 😢!! I love the video and was wondering if we would see the beginning of your journey getting your trailer!! 💓 That is how we felt when we bought our Coachmen Catalina Santara 272BH a few wks ago. I have been documenting so I can learn how to TH-cam by projects and learning experiences. Thank you Leach Family!!!! 💓😍
Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! I know this video was more centered around decluttering, but the nostalgic memories this video brought back was wonderful! We especially loved the flashback clips. It was touching to see you buying Ginger, moving out of your house, Maddie, kids when they were young, getting ready for your "6 month trip," etc... And the song at the end, wow!!! Brought tears to my wife's eyes. We've been following along with you guys from the first season and this was touching. You guys actually inspired us to go out and get our travel trailer in 2017. Also, the map of your route in sync with the video clips was fantastic!!! Thank you! This is easily one of our favorites!
Marc...look up Steve Martin "All I need" in The Jerk...your crawfish trap and bolt cutters reminded me of that hilarious scene! Love the video!!!
It is always such a different process each time you downsize due to your new mindset you have obtained. Awesome video
With so many of us at home now, this is the best time to de-clutter and catch up on all your projects. Love you both. Stay safe and healthy and looking forward to seeing your travel plans once we can all go out and do things again. Weird season to be in, but God is in control!
My preemie was 3lbs 9oz @ 31 weeks. She is now a beautiful 19yr old 🥰
numbered boxes and a list is exactly what the moving company made us do when we left Germany. We even had to put a monitary value. Trish you gotta take that enameled cast iron dutch oven with you on your camping trips.
It is a good video. We have to have a storage unit one that we are sharing with hubby's aging parents that we moved here locally to be by our daughter as we travel. We are going to put more in the unit at first but plan later to digitize photos and reduce even more. I am right there with Trish as I love my kitchen tools and will be packing them up for a short time as we do not know how long we will be on the road as fulltimers. If it becomes a longtime lifestyle for us then we will downsize more since we don't have to right now with sharing a unit. You two sound like us right now! I remember that video of craw-fish catching. April 30th one month away. OH my it is finally coming! 😊 Wow the first video seems forever ago! Thanks for all the entertainment you all provide.
Thank you guys for this extraordinary journey you have, and continue to take us on. I am writing this with tears in my eyes, as you truly feel like family. Started watching you, along with the Nomadic Fanatic and Gone with the Wynns. years ago. I cried when Maggie passed. You guys are smart, fun, and hard working and the family values instilled in your children is priceless. You have a legacy of video which has GREAT sentimental value and your family will cherish it throughout you life on earth; maybe beyond. Keep this up, and all the best to the Leach family! Blessings!
Great video guys! We sold or donated pretty much everything before starting our fulltime journey, and like you said it was hard to get rid of a lot of stuff. Almost 1year in a fifth wheel and we love it. Good advice about decluttering that I read somewhere and helped us out:
"If you went into a store today and saw X, would you buy it? If not, that means you don't need it so get rid of it"
OMG have I really been watching you guys for this long?
You know ive been a fan for a while when i look at your old content and say 'oh my god look how small YOUR kids are'. Good stuff !!
I have the same red hose and they are about 30 years old and still good. Just seeing the change in the kids age is dramatic. Glad you are safe and healthy. Hope you all the best.
So timely right now. We are starting to declutter now and it is such a conflict when 1 person sees the items as value and the other sees them as trash. Trying moments for sure. Thanks for the ideas and being you.
My husband and I met in 2013 and married in 2016. He had lost his wife of 30 yrs to cancer, and my ex left after 27 yrs of marriage. We both have grown kids and had to do some major downsizing to combine households. Now we're a year away from my husband's 2nd retirement from the military. We bought our first RV ("Serenity") this past spring so we can travel and find a new forever home!! We're planning to spend the next year purging and getting rid of all of things we held onto. Letting go of sentimental things is truly a struggle, but videos like this are so inspiring!!
I’ve been doing A lot of going through spring cleaning and getting rid of things I don’t need! And watching you guys go through yourself makes me feel better about what I’m doing! Thank you!
Such great ideas! Long before Google docs, I logged our moves in a yellow spiral notebook. Numbered boxes are reusable. One move we designated ranges for specific purposes so the kids could help direct the movers. That unload went so fast the movers had 3 hour break before next client.
WHY AM I CRYING?!?!?! The end montage was beautiful and as soon as I see Carson I said out loud, "Oh my goodness he's so little!" What beautiful memories and life you have given your children and I can't wait to do the same for mine :) I'm super excited to learn for right now how to start a TH-cam channel and purchased your course because why not learn from the best?!
We did the numbering thing when we moved home from FL. It was wonderful.
One thing I learned about storage units is that you need to determine the value of the items you are storing. At some point the cost of storing something can surpass the value of what is being stored.
Great video! We have been full timers for a year now and downsized from a large home. We have had a storage facility that has things we realize now should have been given away a long time ago. We are working on doing that now. Thanks for your advice. Loved the recap of memories at the end on the video. Stay safe and healthy!!😊
Great message. We all think we “ need” THINGS. a yea ago I decluttered but after watching this it’s time for me to declutter more!
Love the clips taking us back to March '16 and the way in which you surprised yourselves and, then, of course, all of us who, somehow, kept watching as you kept rolling! :-). All best wishes and hope everyone is healthy by you. It is certainly a time for all of us to take stock of what matters. Travel on intrepid ones!
I am blown away your videos are always fantastic and I can't believe its been four years since you started on this adventure. Its truly impressive that you can create an entertaining video that is both informational and emotional - the montage at the end was fantastic. I'm so very much looking forward to my own family's full time travel - we've got our RV and are on the hunt for a truck now. I can't wait for the next season to begin! Marc and Trish, I know this channel is a TON of work - just want to say THANK YOU.
Very entertaining! And very informative! The suggested tips are great! Keep up the good work, y'all!! May God continue to bless and keep you all (y'all)!!!
I can relate. Three years ago, we needed to clean out my father-in-law’s house after he moved into Assisted Living. My in-law’s hadn’t thrown anything away in over 50 years. Last year, we had to move him into Skilled Nursing and disperse even more. I recently needed to go through the same ordeal with my parent’s house after moving them into Assisted Living. There was 30 years of clutter and useless documents. Last year when we sold our house, we used the principle of “do we want our daughter to have to sort through and discard this when we go?” There were numerous trips to Habitat for Humanity, The Salvation Army, and the dump.
I also used plastic clear storage bins...I set up 'Heritage Boxes' for both my kids ages ago that contain precious items from birth through high grad as well as first career education, etc. These bins will be given to the kids when I hit the road, better part of downsizing is passing memories on 😎
Loved the ending! You guys are so brave! Been watching for years and really happy that it turned out to be the best thing ever for you and your family!!
Ok somebody tell my how the kids aged so much, Marc did a little bit and Trish aged absolutely none...how is that possible. I'm not understanding the physics behind this witchcraft lol. Great video guys and awesome look down memory lane.
Kevin Thomas Re: Trish? I was thinking exactly the same thing about five minutes before I read your comment. The woman does not age.
Haha, exactly what I was thinking during the video.
What a wonderful recap. Been following you since the beginning and spent about 5 months out of the last year travelling the US in our 27' Jayco. I only wish we could have taken our kids along on the adventure with us! God Bless you guys and keep on truckin!
I agree. Clutter is just a ball & chain. (just catching up on some older episodes) Love what you do & how you do it.
Interesting tip on how to organize the list of things in storage! I actually used that same idea to create a list of what was in boxes for a friend that was moving in February!
I will never be able to live my dream but this I can do. 30 years of stuff heading out the door!
Love watching you family’s adventures all theses years.
We basically did the same thing just over two years ago Marc and Trish. We moved a 3bd/3bath house into a 10x30 storage unit and hit the road full time, before we bought our RV. We now have a 10x10 storage unit. Our oldest lucked out and got most of the furniture when he moved into his own place last year.
Another great video! Stay heathy! Stay safe, hope live continues to be an adventure & see you on the road!
Awesome video so glad you guys decided to add that early footage. So cool to see how far yall have come. Look at all the awesome things you have done. Inspiring!
I LOVED the ending! Such a neat perspective to have on film. To see how far you've come and see how nervous/excited you were in the beginning.
By far, one of your best. Looking forward to your next venture
I loved the way you did the flashback montage! It is amazing how far you've come. I enjoy your travels and adventures so much!
After my father passed away, I had to clean out the house so I could sell it. After donating all the furniture to the needy, donating all the clothing, I ended up with a 10 x 25 foot storage unit.I filled it from side to side, front to back and top to bottom. 100% full. In it was mostly my dads stuff, some of my mom and brother and a lot of my own. It started out at $250/month. After three years it was going up to $350/ month. I needed to get rid of a lot of the stuff. My wife bought me two sheds, 8 x 10 each which equals about 2/3 of the storage unit. Some stuff was just to sentimental to get rid of, so those two sheds are full now. I ended up getting rid of 9 TV sets, two engines, one transmission and a lot of other junk. Now that I'm retired, I can take time to go through everything and get rid of some more. In case you're wondering about the two sheds when they get empty, one will be where I keep all my tools that I don't need in the garage. Mostly woodworking tools, the other will be storage for whatever. I had two other sheds already. One has the ride on lawn mower, snowthrower and other yard related items. the fourth shed will eventually be removed since it is falling apart. This will give me the room to store the TT and at least two of my cars (I have seven). This will make life easier for sure.
We are downsizing from our 4000sf 4 bed 3 bath to our rv for one - two years! exiting! I Needed this today as I work on selling stuff and donation piles and finding new homes from thing! Thank you for sharing!!!!
Gosh...you guys inspire me so much! Your videos are amazing...so much love and gratitude for you and what you share with us....THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️
Great video, thank you! This is totally relevant to me at the moment. I just cleaned out my storage and have put all my stuff in my friends garage while I pick through I want I want (and what I should) pack into my motorhome. Good tips, thanks! I'm finding downsizing organizing is stressy because there is clutter everywhere while I figure out this massive life-sized Tetris puzzle.
Thank you so much for this video! We are downsizing from our house to our travel trailer, so this information is very timely for us. Great information!
Nothing like getting rid of stuff...what fun and you are right it is sooooo liberating.
Oh my you guys made me cry with all the years memories, the kids were so little! Love this channel....stay safe KYD!
we have decided that our next new adventure with the kids grown, we are selling house , and living in RV full time. Its been a dream, and yes, we are down sizing.. thanks for all your insight we have been binge watching and learning.,
Numbering boxes with a spreadsheet?? Brilliant. Never thought of that
Just getting caught up. Y’all are truly and inspiration! The moment you began was a leap of faith. Amazing how those moments of numb passion became the building blocks of global inspiration! Thank you for motivating and inspiring us for 4 years.
Y’all continue to be such a major inspiration to me. Such a wonderful video!
I was surprising myself at being emotional looking to this amazing recap, acknowledging I've been "with you" for that long. I enjoy each show and love to know you all a little bit more each week.
So great seeing the old footage....Makes me want to go back and watch it all over again!
The CAP thing was genious! I was in it for 7 years. Learned and grew a lot.
Loved this! Great job! I got teary eyed at the 2016 family with Maddie. 5 years wow!
It's amazing how quickly stuff starts taking over our lives, huh...
When we had to downsize from a 2000sqft bungalow on 3acres to a 1220sqft house on a postage stamp size lot I gave the 4 kids a tomato box & said this is for all your treasures you want to keep. They nodded. When we arrived at the new house there were these mysterious boxes that when opened had their stuff in them! They’re just like their mom, “yes I hear your crazy directions but I won’t abide by them”. 23yrs later those boxes are still around, plus new ones, but the kids have all left the house! I say our crawlspace is sold with the house “as is” 🤣. Downsizing or decluttering is daunting when dealing with other family members’ belongings, but really, do they need a giant tuff-tote full of electronic cords?
We KNEW we were going full time in our RV, yet we still ended up with a 15 x 20 storage unit for our "stuff." It was our safety net in case we wanted to move back into a house. After two years on the road, we realized not only did we not need anything in the storage unit, but by then we could have bought all new stuff with the money we had spent renting the unit. We condensed down to about 15 plastic tubs that are now at my sister's house. And yes, once you get over the trauma of getting rid of all your things, it is very freeing afterward!
We are about 1 and a half to 2 years away from full time. This video really helps!
There are some videos on TH-cam you watch and you like. There are some you wish there was a “love” button for. This is a love button video.
