That was a very warm send of of Maggie. I fell in love with her when you were stuck in Mexico during the pandemic. God speed Maggie. To the two of you, the blessing of happiness health and wealth always.
If we haven't told you guys lately we love you... your passion for travel... for each other... for traveling... and most of all for how you just keep getting better and better creating videos that tell stories. We are so very happy for you both. Love your choice to simplify in order to get exactly what you want. Perfect! Congrats. Owen, Lynn and Maggie
We have a very similar Class C with no slide. We love the freedom to drive out of our campsite in the rain! No wet slide or leaks. Ours is 24' with rear bed also. We love it.
I've had a couple domestic class C RV's (older Dodge's) for the last 3 years we have been driving a 2009 Winnebago View and couldn't be happier with the compact size, layout and performance. Couldn't imagine going back to a bulky clunky domestic class C. We do travel light and have our 2 e bikes on the back. We're not full timers but we average 12,000 miles a year.
I can only imagine how hard it was to walk away from Maggie. You guys really did put your hearts into those renovations. I teared up at your "goodbye". I hope that your new home provides you safe passage to all the new adventures that the next several years will bring! Happy Holidays!
Congratulations on your new home, she’s goooorgeous and I can’t wait to not only see the finished product but can’t wait to see the new adventures you guys enjoy in her!
Aww 😟 You guys!? It was so sad to see Maggie go! But, now we're SO excited to see where Dita takes you!! 👏👏( I loved Liz's reaction to the over cab build 🥰 -Mike)
I have a 40 year old travel trailer, and have toured 48 states over the 30 years I have had it. Now I spend the winter in it in Fl. and tour in a 23 ft. motorhome, . I do love the trailer and have great memories of my husband and kids.
We own a 2130QB(aka 21qb) coachmen...same floorplan for the most part but older...we love ours...I prefer no slides...less crap/breakage to deal with. They are still small but with the right touches they work great!!! Just know tho, gas mileage is around 9-10 ish....sounds like it has the 4500 chassis and thats good...ours is a 3500 so I had to add rear stabilizer bar...yours should already have it, if not add it! Helps in the wind and towing in the wind.
@@EatSeeRV and another couple of great under estimated features are the rear window with the side window at the bed area... Way more light .... Plus the QUEEN bed!..lol... These also come with azdell exterior siding .. The best on the market... Will never bubble or delam if water does get to back side of it.. Great stuff...I just wish they would use it on the inside walls as well... But can't have it all I guess..lol ..
Hello there. You guys just popped up and I was interested.....now I am officially a subscriber! My husband is currently remodeling a 2021 Class A that we just bought to live in this summer when he retires. He has torn out and rebuilt almost everything in it. It came with a reupholstered couch, dinette chairs and the 2 front seats so that was great and gave us a good start. He has totally changed the whole look of it and it's gorgeous.We can't wait to rent out our house and live in it and travel all over the U.S.A.. I will go back now and watch all of your past videos to catch up with your journey. I wish you the best of everything as you remodel.
Francito......jeez your opinion is just full of hate. I strongly suggest you keep your comments to yourself. This is what they want and it's their life. As long as they are happy why do you care?
Wow so glad you found us and chose to subscribe, thank you! Wishing you well on the remodel. It can be challenging but it's oh so worth it! Here's to many adventures to come
I couldn’t begin to imagine the stress of renovating Dita, having to go to AZ with two RVs and then moving out of Maggie. But you all did it and still made a great video. Love the new bike by the way.
Congrats on your new rig! We feel your stress. Our last RV’s engine blew a few weeks ago while on the road to Mexico. Bought another RV in Phoenix (a 2009 Pulse of all things) and had to transfer batteries, solar panels, junk and more junk (way more storage in our 1998 Trek). Plan to enjoy our winter travels in Mexico and make other improvements once we return home. We’re more like 1/2 timers, not full timers, at least for now. Enjoy!
Oh man Mona, I'm so sorry. How stressful! I'm glad you were able to move and take stuff with you from your last RV but I can't imagine how trying that would have been! I hope you enjoy your winter in Mexico 👏💞
11:32 I'm a big fan of paper lists and planners over making tiny lists on a phone. I think its the satisfaction of scratching off things with authority, rather than a computer generated cross-out line. I've kept all my planners since the mid 90s, as they are like journals to me. //Sidenote, its sentimental but losing Maggie isn't that bad considering you can reminisce over all your TH-cam Videos. Peace.
Great points on all fronts. We normally don't do lists on paper because we always lose it. Haha. But yes we're very grateful to have memories to look back on.
I wish my wife shared your confidence in driving responsibilities. We have a 34' 5th wheel so it is a bit intimidating. My main concern is what if we have an emergency and I'm unable to drive. Good luck with your new home on wheels. I think you will enjoy the increased payload and storage.
That's a lot more intimidating than a 24ft class C RV. Haha, so I feel her there! I've learned coaching helps. So maybe taking a class. It's important to me to be able to drive the RV -- what if something happened to Dennis? We 100% will love the increased payload and storage! Wohoo!
Fantastic video. It's always hard moving in the first place, worse when you're 100% mobile at the same time I'm sure. Hopefully, this new rig does everything you want it to. Can't wait to see your full tour video once you get all settled in.
@@EatSeeRV it won't be long and I'm sure it will be just as gorgeous as Maggie. How are you liking the KTM instead of the scooter? I'm sure you can go a little further, but I'd be missing the under seat space. (I'm an 80% motorcycle commuter even in the winter in Indiana)
@@EatSeeRV also, shout out to all the women who drive the rig. I was terrified when we rented our first moving van. J. handled it like a champ. It's so much easier sharing duties driving the van. I'm used to just working from the phone while she drives We just got awesome wifi hotspot. Can hardly wait to work from laptop taking care of business on the road. Back in the day I remember closing on a property figuring out how to docusign and fax a contract on a flip phone with 3g.
so does this mean older class c rv's are better than modern? because the older ones have more amp and bigger water tank I assume? not sure you did mention 9 years old.
The one we bought is 9 years newer than our old RV. Each RV is unique older vs newer doesn't mean more water capacity or modern. It depends on the trim package and the RV itself regardless of age.
I'd be curious how the gas engine handled the mountains compared to your diesel. I'm considering a motorhome of the same size and I've wondered how much a difference that would really make.
It does fantastic with grades! The capabilities are very good in terms of driving and payload. Dennis says it's not as fun to drive because he most drove Maggie in Manual mode but it drives well
Just found ur channel. Very nice. New to RVing. Picked up a 2008 jamboree sport 22b, low miles on a chevy 3500 on work horse chassis. Good or bad? Debating scooter or ebikes. What do u think? Do you break camp, drive around and come back to sites often? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
Welcome and congrats on your new home! No idea if it's good or bad. Depends on your wish list and condition of the RV! There is no right or wrong RV. We love our motorcycle and use it as our tow car to go far away places. E bikes are great but scary to maneuver in cities and don't go as far. We have used our scooter/bike to go to remote hikes, buy groceries, etc.
Hahaha I don't think we like dark wood. It's just what the RV makers put in RVs. I have no idea why. We would have loved a lighter wood. But weren't going to paint it all.
jeeeezzz...I STRONGLY suggest you keep your opinions to yourself. This is what they want. It's their adventure. And I agree with dive coz.....but have to add why the "hell" do you care anyway????
@@bonnieteets8194 I assume it's different for you, but I come from a country where you're allowed to have your own opinion and also, to express it to others. So if someone should shut up here, it's better you. So easy.
We are really happy for you both! Great job and Please do not apologize for how you recorded the process, it's gotta be a lot. We sometimes consider changing rigs, but right now ours still checks most of our boxes but OH, for extra cargo capacity!😂We really thank you for taking us all along!!
Haha I would recommend not unless it gives you loads of extra stuff you want and need. Ours was enough of a difference it'll be worth it. But boy, it's a lot of work! Hahaha 😄 thank you for watching and supporting us here. We're so appreciative!
We're not doing this for appreciation recapture. We're doing it because it will be our home for the years to come and we want it to be comfortable and nice. Everyone should do what's right for them.
A new to you RV !! Base model, schmase model. By the time you reno and customize, it'll be something the original designers never thought possible !!
Right! The previous owners already gave us such good bones to work off of. We love their mods and plan to spruce it up even more!
Big congrats on Getting Dita! Making her your own is going to be such a memorable process. Hope to see y’all on the road! 🎉🚍❤
Thank you! Hope our paths cross soon 😊

That is very very very kind. Thank you so much Lynn and Maggie! We're so appreciative to have you along on our journey.
Congratulations! Gordita, "Dita", will be everything you dreamed of and needed! Can't wait for full tour! Safe travels!
Thank you! We're looking forward to upcoming travels in her.

This change is definitely good! ❤️ Thank you for the well wishes.

I believe number 1……score.

Congratulations on the new to you RV. Enjoy having new adventures with Dita!
Thank you very much Diane! Looking forward to sharing our adventures with you all soon.
Wow, I'm surprised that you said you don't love the slide. I wish I had slides, so now I can I stop wishing. 😁
Haha 😆
Congratulations!!
Thank you!
WOW!!! That was crazy. I love the new RV. Perfect for you guys once you give her YOUR personal touch. Cheers 😙🥂😘
Thank you so much! We're looking forward to making her our own.
7:57 you have excellent handwriting! 😃
Thank you. That's the teacher in me. I had to take a penmanship class!
Moving is a tough one! We went from our catamaran to our Rpod to my brother’s to our Imagine in less than a year. Brutal. Congrats!
Aye yai yai I think I would have lost it!! Props to you for living through that year!

Maggie was a cool rig. Looking forward to seeing your new adventure in the new one. Thanks Don
Thank you. She was for sure.
I bought used class c in Grand Rapids Michigan sight unseen, paid for it and hired a driver to bring it to N.C. , very stressful. Turned out great.
Ugh stressful for sure. But so glad it worked out for you!!
Wow!!! 🎉 love it guys! Congrats can’t wait to follow your upcoming adventures in your NEW rig! Love the name dita btw!
Thank you guys so much! Hope you're having the time of your lives in Italy 🇮🇹🍝 we're excited!

You guys do a good job with your videos. Curious what you got for gas mileage with the new RV ?
I didn't see "Install solar panels" on the list. Best wishes on the new home.
It already has 400 watts of solar panels! We do want to upgrade the batteries and improve the inverter though!
I wonder if you could do a lift kit on the new rig to get better ground clearance. Good luck!
That was in our plans! But it may be a little while before we get that done.
Lady & primary driver! The boys enjoy gaming while we travel.
Wohoo! That's awesome get it girl.
Woo hoo, so exciting!
Yes, big changes over here!

We haven't really been able to accurately calculate it. We will update on that though! Expecting around 9 to 10 mpg.
I even shed a tear she Maggie pulled away!!! But am sure you will make Did a even better!! Here's to new adventures!!!
Such an emotional experience! 😢 Thank you for being a part of our travels these past few years! Here's to new adventures!
