- This week on Wingin' It! with Friends, we're introducing you to our friends Chris and Chris, new full-time RVers who started their new RVing adventure very differently from us. They share their story, and why they made the choices that they did, as well as how things have gone for them in their first few weeks as full-time RVers.

🤠 Thanks For Watching!
As Native Texans and full-time RVers, we want to road trip from the beaches of the Gulf Coast to the canyons of the Texas Panhandle, the mountains of West Texas, and everywhere in between. Texas is home to forests, rivers, lakes, caverns, hills, grassy plains, and so much more. The history, the food, the culture, the nature... We want to explore it all and share it with you!
Join us as we explore the Great State of Texas and Beyond one campground at a time because we want us all to experience life, not just live it!
Safe Travels and Happy Camping y'all!

I enjoyed this video thanks for sharing
You’re welcome
This is almost exactly what we are hoping to do by spring
Awesome Pamm! Keep us posted on your journey.
Well I like hearing the experiences and ideas. That is sure a sweet camping spot.. nice space
That was a Double Lake Recreation Area. We’ll have a video on it coming up.
We are going to go to NRVTA as well. My husband is looking forward to starting this winter.
Enjoy!
This was loaded with ideas for full timing. Buy the way I am the Dave they were talking about. The RV School is great.
Hey Dave! Hope y'all are doing well.
@@rvamericayall we are doing great. When do y'all plan to go back to Jamaica beach?
Hello from Okinawa, Japan! Only 38 days until we move to TX to start our full time Rv adventures. We’ve been considering the mobile tech option. We we’ll be in Texas around September 1 and don’t get out truck until November and then we have to get our RV. So, we have lots of time to explore our options. Fun interview! We bought a used membership as well and plan to make Conroe one of our 1st stops.
Hey guys! We have a playlist on our experience at the National RV Training Academy: th-cam.com/video/LH9f4AvB9D8/w-d-xo.html . Their website is nrvta.com/ . If you decide to sign up for a class, please tell them RV Texas Y'all sent you! 😁
My engine went down in brand new 2020 RV!! 6 Months in shop! Thank goodness we have full time home!
Wow! So sorry to hear that Lance! Glad y'all had somewhere to go.
@@rvamericayall Yeah, made me rethink the full time lifestyle! Probably going rent out the big house and keep guest house on the compound as backup when we take off next year for full time!
Thank you for the RVNTA info. So useful. Appreciate the video at the classroom and looking forward the next one. Went to Escapees Boot Camp class, wish we had done it sooner, and it is a great one for new rvers too, whether full timers or weekenders. Appreciate all your sharing.
You're welcome! We definitely got a lot out of the NRVTA experience.
That couple was a hoot. We have meet a lot of neat people.
We agree Vernon! The folks we meet through RVing are great.
Great video! They seem to be following our path; we have completed the lv 2 inspector training at NRVIA and also took the RV tech courses last summer. Have been doing RV inspections and tech work in Oklahoma where our S&B house is. Loving helping people-see it as a ministry to them.
Awesome!
Nice couple. They are going to have so much fun!! ❤️❤️❤️
We agree 100% Judy!
Good segment. Happy travels!
Glad you enjoyed it Tim! Hope you're having a great week.
nice camp sight looking forward to Texas now hoping to start heading out in sept
Fall is a great time to visit, Allan!
Interesting transition of this couple. I agree with them that having a home base makes sense given what has occurred in the past couple of years. Government shutdowns, Covid19, and whatever comes in the future. We plan to keep our home base, travel part year during which we will let a relative house sit for us paying only the utilities. We will still have taxes and insurance to pay, but that's minimal. It just makes good sense to us. We may very well find somewhere during our travels that we like better for a home base than our present one. If we do, we'll sell out, buy a home base there, and continue traveling.
Sounds like a great plan!
I've been on the road for 15 years
Never seen you guys
Maybe we'll cross paths one of these days David.
How do we find them on Facebook?
You can find them under Trippin' With The Chris' facebook.com/squaredchris
Love this video it was very funny with your guests
Thanks William! They are great folks!
Great Winging it, you guys do a great channel.
Thanks so much!
Great interview. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! We're glad you enjoyed it.
You're right Tom, "Bob" was a little camera shy at first..... lol
LOL! 😂
Your friends have a great channel name.."Trippi'n with the Chris'. When I do finally get out on the road, my channel name will be.. "A Man, A Mutt & A Motorhome" . Safe Travels and Happy Trails
Love it Wesley!
Since they need to be close to Houston let them know that they can stay for free 7 days in a row at spring creek park in tomball.
Great point Nathan! Thanks!
👍👍
Thanks Mike!
lol we will eventually be bringing so stuff to our daughters house in Round Rock but not filling the rv we are splitting our time between the house and the rv
Contact info for sales for the Home Base they bought?
Hi Peter! They bought in Retama Village down in Mission TX: www.bentsenpalm.com/master-plan/neighborhoods/retama-village/
OMG! That 5th wheel must have been SOOOooo overweight if they were using it as a U-haul to transport stuff to the new "part-time home base." LOL!!!! Be certain that they see this comment... Now that they've mentioned the name "Trippin' With The Chris'es" they need to HASTILY get those accounts set up on TH-cam and Facebook (or I'm sure some jerk will set it up and hold the account hostage, asking them to pay for it). I have some ideas for a new channel, website and Facebook page but those names are being held close to the vest just so that what I described doesn't happen.
Good point Michael
thousand trails for the rich and famous
Do you have their facebook link? I couldn't catch the last name.
We linked to them in the comments on this post on our Facebook Page facebook.com/RVTexasYall
Enjoyed meeting with Chris & Chris with todays' Winging It. Love their humor. Their overall decision to switch Toy hauler Plans to the 5th Wheel at the last moment, reminded me of Don and I planning, searching and overall selecting a 5th.Wheel , buying the truck to pull it and then at last minute getting the Class C motor home. Suppose to be,by his account, my Idea.(???) Still have not figured that out. I am sure Chris and Chris will enjoy their overall "full time RV life" when it comes around. Thanks for sharing them today. Grammy Kay
Glad you enjoyed it. We thought the same thing. 😂
My hometown Conroe! Leaving right now to pick up my first camper in Mississippi!
Have a safe trip Jennifer!
:-)))) :-))))
