Great video! We initially went with a small tow behind to make sure we liked RV’ing and liked each other in a small space. Well we loved it and later upgraded to a class A. While it’s a gasser, we love it!
One of the most ironic truisms of rv life is that when your rig has huge cabinets (5ers, gassers, toy haulers), your CCC tends to be lower. When you upgrade to a DP, your CCC goes way up…but your cabinets are smaller, and half those basement bays are filled with things like Oasis, def, etc.
So awesome to hear y’all are loving the new Motorhome!! Definitely a leaning curve from a fifth wheel (we experienced the opposite learning curve 😂) We’ll be in SoCal/Vegas this winter. Hope to see y’all! ❤
Thanks for the pros and cons! We’re looking to move to a SuperC from our Momentum. We still might be open to a class A if we find something we really like.
Just found your channel and subscribed. My wife had health issues and is handicapped. She wanted a motorhome and because of her back everyone told us to get a diesel pusher. So our first RV was a 2006 Monaco Dynasty 42' Class A diesel pusher and we absolutely love it! Wishing you guys all the best. 😊
Congratulations again on your new home! It's a beauty. We learned a couple little tricks when we had our class A. We would tie a white towel to the top of the jeep steering wheel so I could see the steering wheel in the camera. The white towel will "wave" at you if you start having a tire issue. Not certain if all class A's are the same but we never allowed the fuel tank to get much below half because the fuel tube for the generator was set just above a 1/4 tank so the genny would never run the coach dry. Might keep that in mind if you run the genny while traveling. If the diesel genny runs out of fuel they are a b***h to get primed and started again. Ask me how I know. Safe travels guys!!
@@Luv2Bhitched thank you for that information. We will try the paper towel thing on travel day. There’s so much to learn still. Didn’t think about the fuel. I can imagine how you know how difficult it would be.
So sad about the accident and having to not ride your motorcycle anymore, but glad you are alive!! Thank you for sharing your experiences and differences between all the different models you've had. We are so excited to meet you guys this winter in Arizona!! Thank you for putting that on your video! - Jim & Michelle
Wow, you guys have a great experience. I've been watching Liz Amazing where she covers numerous RV owners nightmares, I've been very scared to ever look at buying. I realize the RVs I would need to look at are pre 2018 and hope the previous owners have fixed all the bugs. I am looking for a diesel Class A. My wife and I own a house up in Northern California with a side drive way that is paved and can park a Class A. The drive way is 26 feet wide and about 200 feet long and also pre wired for a 50 amp power supply. I've been looking at Tiffins or Newmar. I would consider an RV built on a Freightliner chassis and have at least 2 toilets. One for visitor and one my wife and I would have personally in the back. I am pretty handy with fixing things. I have heard that owning an RV will require routine maintenance and repairs since it is practically a house under earthquake conditions. I do enjoy seeing your positive review for once.
You guys call anything towed a 5th wheel, even if it has three axles? Great video on going up in the world, which reminds me of our Winnepeg Beach campground experience. These days we have a 5 berth 5th wheel, retired in our garden, and a trailer tent to repair before we take our 14yo camping in August, while his big sis is in the Azores. You two have a happy new subscriber.
If you have a Class A, you need to have TPMS on both your coach and the Toad. You won't ever feel the toad, even with a missing wheel. Get the TPMS and be able to keep an eye on this. Congrats BTW!
Nice to hear about getting settled and that you are very happy with the change. Lots of new stuff to get used to and some adjustments, but it sounds like you made the right choice. Happy Travels!
Glad you're loving your decision. You need someone like me (Leslie) to get you downsized and organized, lol. I purge frequently whether we really need it or not. Hope to get to see it someday in person - it's beautiful! 😘
My wife and I have been rving since the early 80s we got our first class a in the early 90s on or second class a at this point we have had it 17 years about to upgrade to 45 ft rig . Enjoy stay safe .
Congrats on the new home. There’s always going to be some trade offs between rig styles. Enjoy!! We’d be interested in your Alaska caravan. We’re planing a trip back in ‘26 also. Keep us posted 👍
So you both love the Fleetwood. I love it too! I was wondering how the induction cook top worked. So glad you got the hang of hooking up the Jeep. It just a few practices then you become a pro at it. Nice you are donating from proceeds from merchandise to the hurricane victims. That was a funny story of the squirrel and the acorn with the awning. So glad you are enjoying your new home. How do the dogs like it? Very nice home! Thank you for this video! Have a great week and see you soon!
Love the video. Your choice was wise and I'm sure Jen loves being a "Passenger Princess" now! As for the furbaby's locks of love... try having 3 huskies in a 26' travel trailer.
Don’t back up with the toad you can damage the tow bars. Could probably roll back slightly if on a hill. I needed to turn around and found a big parking lot to pull into on Google. Pulled in the driveway and found a locked gate. Got to take off the Jeep and back out the Jeep and RV.
Ahhh, gotcha. We are happy with our current setup for now. Our biggest issue would be having to find a place to park the trailer every couple of weeks. Some RV Parks just don’t have good extra parking.
Did you guys finance the motorhome? I’m possibly looking to get into a class A but finding it difficult to find a lender willing to work with full timers. Advice?
Loverly story u two i will visit soon iam in d uk wish i could do someting like dis sounds lots of fun continue to enjoy u r brave good luck its good wen u have company doing dis
Thanks for watching. 🙏🏻
Air Force retired here as well. We were crazy enough to get a Newmar class A right off the bat. Wow what a learning curve. I love your channel.
@@globemaster2356 thank you! We are loving the class A.

Haha, we get that! Having a Class A is pretty amazing!
Place a paper towel under your pan when you cook in your induction cooktop. It will not burn and will allow for easy clean up! It really works.
@@veronicaoneal9480 thank you! I need to do that. I had a big mess to clean up after reheating some ribs. Ugh!

Yep, that one was a little surprising…we still made it work.
U also have a lot of energy walking
Thank you.

@@brucefranklin6765 You’re welcome! Good luck RV shopping.
Thanks for your service. I retired as an E9. Looking forward to full time RVing , starting next year! We just go a Thor Tuscany 45LT
Thanks for your service as well! Let’s us know if you have a questions about full timing.
@ thanks! I’m sure I will!
We don’t have propane either in our 2009 Monaco class A and love it. Love the aquahot too. Put an oven on the counter.
@@teresasprouse1097 It’s so nice not having propane on the rig. I’ll look into that. Right now we’ve managed with the convection/airfryer/grill oven.
So glad you are still living the Discovery! It’s awesome you are donating to the Florida relief. We have some orgs to donate to as well!
@@campinwiththeconfers thanks! We wanted to help in someway. We are always looking for volunteer opportunities.
Love the story! the RV is a beauty! I'm sure there will be differences. Thanks for the views will help in decisions in the future. Thanks for sharing!

Good video! congratulations again...With our 5th wheel in the shop, we're definitely weighing our options. - Jody
@@rboundlessventures oh no! I hope it gets fixed soon. We did lots of research with pro and cons. It’s stressful but worth it.

Also, no…there are 5th wheels (hitch in the bed of the truck) and Travel Trailers ( bumper pulls). Number of axels is irrelevant. 👍🏻
If you have a Class A, you need to have TPMS on both your coach and the Toad. You won't ever feel the toad, even with a missing wheel. Get the TPMS and be able to keep an eye on this. Congrats BTW!
Definitely! Thank you. 🧡🧡🧡
Great video. There's always a trade-off in any RV floor plan and type. Love all the plus and minuses. Life lessons. Yay no remorse.
@@HetteshWorld so many trade offs. We are very with it. It checked off everything on our wishlist plus some.
Nice to hear about getting settled and that you are very happy with the change. Lots of new stuff to get used to and some adjustments, but it sounds like you made the right choice. Happy Travels!
@@snowbirdlady7221 We are very happy with our choice. Still rearranging and organizing though. It’ll be that way for awhile.
Glad you're loving your decision. You need someone like me (Leslie) to get you downsized and organized, lol. I purge frequently whether we really need it or not. Hope to get to see it someday in person - it's beautiful! 😘

So happy you are enjoying the new ride we Always wondered about the storage
@@CoddiwompleTravelers thank you! It was something we weren’t expecting but we managed. But we wouldn’t change it at all though.
Congrats on the new home. There’s always going to be some trade offs between rig styles. Enjoy!!

Thank you soooo much! The dogs are starting to settle in and make it their home too. They LOVE the heated floors. 🤣🤣

Oh ok good! I forgot to mention that. I love that you have that. That sounds so awesome to have.
Great video! I love your honesty. Congratulations on your motorhome.
@@barbarapalmer268 Thank you!
Congratulations!!
Thank you!🧡🧡🧡
Love the video. Your choice was wise and I'm sure Jen loves being a "Passenger Princess" now! As for the furbaby's locks of love... try having 3 huskies in a 26' travel trailer.
@@wheelepicadventures I do love being a passenger princess! Oh my, three huskies in that small space. No thank you!
Glad you love it. We love our Class A.
It’s been a great decision for us!
We are in a newmar class A love it. After 10 years in a sailboat
Oh wow, I bet that was amazing! Boat life might be in our future.
We feel the pain with storage 😂 we are still trying to downsize from the 42' to 26'. It's a struggle for sure.
@@RunawayRinaldis wow! I can’t imagine going that small. That’s a lot of downsizing.
@@NoSticksNoBricks we love the size, but downsizing is definitely a struggle.
Don’t back up with the toad you can damage the tow bars. Could probably roll back slightly if on a hill. I needed to turn around and found a big parking lot to pull into on Google. Pulled in the driveway and found a locked gate. Got to take off the Jeep and back out the Jeep and RV.
@@edandsharonmoreland yeah that’s what Jason said. I didn’t know that. Oh no, a locked gate. That stinks. Glad it worked out.
Great video, We knew you didnt have any remorse!
Haha, you never know!🤣🤣
Would love to find someone to work with on va rating can you refer?
Absolutely, send us a PM on Facebook or Instagram, or email us at realnosticksnobricks@gmail.com and we will happily share. 👍🏻
Nice!
@@PMPokemon23 Thanks!
Must have a tire monitor system
@@teresasprouse1097 yes, we are getting one.
Might want to update that TH-cam bio to your new RV.
Oh yeah! 🤣🤣
How about if you get a trailer for the Jeep?
For what exactly?
to haul the Jeep so no tire wear on it?
Ahhh, gotcha. We are happy with our current setup for now. Our biggest issue would be having to find a place to park the trailer every couple of weeks. Some RV Parks just don’t have good extra parking.
I don't know if we could go back to a trailer from a Class A
@@kwhit6537 I bet! It’s so much easier now.
You had a rapper on your tire ? Eminem, or 2 paks Shecure./
@@laurakilmer8652 LOL!
Did you guys finance the motorhome? I’m possibly looking to get into a class A but finding it difficult to find a lender willing to work with full timers. Advice?
@@barryholiday8998 we did finance it. It was an issues for us as well. We got it squared away. Keeping looking at lenders.
@@NoSticksNoBricks so you did find a lender that knew you were full-time?
