As a California Boy who has driven the coast multiple times, you are in for an awesome trip. We are doing the West Coast again this summer, but not the California Coast in our 40' Class A toyhauler. If driving through Yosemite with the Minnie Winnie you still aren't going to make friends driving on the road, but with your jeep, it will be a groovy happening experience. I hope you can stay in the Yosemite Valley overnight. It gets so much quieter, maybe even have some bears come through camp. Hug a few trees in the redwood forest, we'll be doing that ourselves in a few weeks after the Fulltime Families Rally, a week up at Tahoe, and a week in the SF Bay.
He's such a good little salesman, pointing out the storage, so cute!!
Hope you guys enjoy your trip! We did a 9 week, 11 state trip in 2019 in our 32ft class C towing a Jeep. With 3 boys & a dog. Crazy fun & so many memories!
Don't forget to go into Oregon too, It's beautiful. Small space is a great idea, this trip is about being outside. You got this!
Yes Oregon is amazing and if you cant get Reservations here in CA maybe Oregon. Took kids there and loved it sooo much.
Y’all got this! Y’all flew to Hawaii with only carry ons and so this allows for a lot more stuff to take! Can’t wait to see the trip!
I think you are so smart to be using a smaller RV for the areas you will be visiting. Let the adventure begin! Loved JJ’s comment of “that’s a lot of storage” Henley’s response of “love it” when she saw the rv for the first time. So cute!
Thank you so much.
Northern California and Southern Oregon are amazing, you will love the ocean and the redwoods. You are smart going with a smaller rig for this trip especially on Hwy 1 and 101 in the redwoods. Have fun! I will look for you on the road!
Stop by Fern Canyon in the Redwoods of NorCal. It is where Jurassic Park 2 was filmed. Beautiful and a great little hike. It is inside of Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park.
The kids are growing so fast! Beautiful family. Thanks for sharing 🙏
I bet you’ll do well- you packed light for Hawaii. You can do it. Less junk more journey. ❤️
Thank you!
Awesome!!! This looks super fun!
I just had to say, I’m from Alberta, Canada, and I was just in Pigeon Forge a week ago for the “Teach Them Diligently” homeschool convention. It truly is a beautiful part of the country! Very cool!
And now I’m going to watch the next episode of your Minnie Winnie adventure! Thanks so much for making and posting these videos of your adventures! 😁
Adding... this might be a size of rv you want to keep on hand for exactly the reasons you are getting it now. The larger one is great for full time living but the smaller one you can swing back through TN every few months and swap out for the other one. Maybe get on a big then small rotation.
Okay, this will be a cool trip! Love JJ saying, thats a Class C! We love watching JJ grow up! I can't believe how much he has grown and boy, he can really talk well!
So excited for you guys. My husband and I did a 6 month cross country trip in a class C with our little girl and it was the perfect size. Can't wait to see more of Cali with you all!
Mom, dad and 5 kids in a 9' camper? One was only a few months old. She slept under the dining table that turned into a bed. Yup. That's how we grew up.
Dad worked for Weyerhaeuser. He'd find a little blue circle somewhere on the map in the middle of nowhere in the Cascade Mountains. Not even a port-a-pottie.
Some of my best memories.
Looking forward to seeing the adventures unfold.
Happy Trails, much love and prayers to you and yours from your eternal sister in Christ somewhere near Seattle.
⚘🙏❤🙏⚘
As a Californian, I totally endorse your desire to tour Ca. Enjoy. Can’t wait to follow you in the Winniemobile.
Looks like a great rig for driving the coast! The kids will get used to sleeping together in a new bed in no time! We have 4 kids and always say "the third night's the charm" when it comes to sleeping in a new place.
A Minnie Winnie!! That's exactly what I have (of course, much much older). We love it! Can't wait to see the rest of this series. Thanks for taking us along for the ride and safe travels.
I am so looking forward to season 25 with the class c, JJ is so cute when he says there so much storage, you gotta love him, sleep or no sleep he is the cutest. Thanks for sharing and as always stay safe, safe travels, and God bless love ya Nancy
We're so excited to welcome you to our state. California promises to offer the perfect weather while you're here.
Fantastic. Look forward to the adventure with you. Blessings
So excited for you!! I've done the PCH and it is the most beautiful drive I've ever taken. Make sure you're stopped and settled each day before sunset so you can enjoy it over the Pacific every day,
Wow, this is such an exciting journey. So glad and thankful to be going along.
This is the kind of RV that people can easily rent or buy for their first time. Since we fit in that category, I will be interested in your journey. Please let us know how it compares with all of your other RVs.
What an adventure!!! We can't wait to follow along!!! Have fun! We're just two in a 17MKE, but watching how you manage with all 4 of you will be interesting!
What fun! Looking forward to following the adventure!
Second child- wild, unruly at times but they keep you going by being the sweetest!
that your pumped im happy. cant wait to see the adventures.
Super smart to go smaller and more nimble while exploring the west coast! We’re weekenders with two boys, and I love the versatility our little 26’ TT provides. I’m excited to see how things go for you guys!
So are we 😀
As always loved hearing about your new adventures in the Class C. Wishing you safe travels and fantastic fun in California, my celebrities! Take care 😘
I see the Jeep becoming a great storage space!!🤩
😀😂
Love dollys bread😍😍y’all are soooo lucky to be hitting the road…prayers for safety ,loads of fun and pre precious memories
So exciting!! Travel safe and have a blast can’t wait to follow along!
Congrats, and God be with you. I'm definitely looking forward to the journey!
I'm so excited for y'all.
Can’t wait! Have fun!!
What a cool plan for a road trip, exciting
Oh you’re going to love it. We have a 2019, 25 foot Thor Synergy. We literally just got home on Thursday. We live in Vancouver, BC and we drove all the way down the coast from Vancouver BC to Washington, Oregon, and California and were away a month. Granted there’s just two of us but let’s face it, you’re outside most of the time. You will most definitely appreciate the smaller RV on the curvy roads and tight National parks. Soooo much to see, Welcome to the West Coast!!!!
Awesome. you will love the Mini Winnie, fully self-contained and easy to manuver.
I’m excited for you. You all are coming to the areas that we camp along the coast. You will love it. I’ll keep looking for you on the highway. Safe travels.
So happy to have found you kids. Great site!! We’re rv’ers and once you catch the fever they’re no turning back.Have fun!!
That’s Awesome! Love how adventurous you all are ❤️
YES! Going small. Looking forward to seeing your adventures in one of my favorite sizes of RV.
California Welcomes LJMJ...Safe Travels...Many Blessings On The Journey...Amen
I wish you the best! Twenty-four feet, no slides and 4 people-whew! Y'all are brave!
glad to be watching your adventure over the West coast. will be exciting. good luck in packing the RV
Sequoias and the Red woods are literally breathtaking! You're going to love it! Pictures do it no justice!
That is So exciting! I look forward to seeing the adventures you can take in this small RV. And to see where you go in the West.
Love your new RV.thanks for sharing. 👍🥰
Looking forward to following you along on this new adventure! CA has some beautiful places to visit♥️
How exciting!
I had the same for 2 months road trip it was perfect. Family of 4, two boys 12 and 14 at the time. Really enjoyed
You guys rock! Can’t wait to watch the next 2 months adventures! Genius!
Very exciting. Can't wait.
Stunning change! Awesome! Won’t the folks at LayZDays be surprised when you return that with a new interior paint job! What color have you picked out Marissa? 🤣🤣🤣
Haha! They should have read the fine print 😂. It would look good in white 😍
I just sold my 2018 Winnie, had a wonderful time traveling in “Moose”. The things I didn’t like and will never have again and the reason I sold it was the corner bed, no pantry, plastic and tight toilet area. I used all the cabinets over the table for Pantry which was ok, but not ideal. There is more storage under the booth seats if you need, but you have to lift the cushions. The good part, never had any mechanical issues, it was very reliable. I’m excited to see your adventure, safe travels. 😉 Have fun!!
Yay I knew it, Can’t wait to see your adventures in California.
Great idea! Looking forward to following along!
We have faith in you guys, Have Fun!
Soso cool what you guys are doing. Can't wait to watch the next video best of luck.
We bought a 2022 30ft Class C with no slides for the same purpose: to be able to get in and out of national parks.
Yay! I can't wait to see your adventures out west!
Yay! New adventure. JJ is hilarious. Look at all that storage 😂
Haha! He was so cute! He may have heard us say that a few times in his few years!
Food/Clothing> Hubby sitting beside me says: "Taco's Marissa, come on Tacos" LOL!! A new adventure for this season Yay!
Can’t wait to see your trip! We’re a family of 5 with a pop up camper and we’re talking about a similar road trip in a similar rig in a couple of years. Looking forward to learning from y’all!
Its all very exciting can't wait to follow your journey. ❤❤🇬🇧
This is Exciting!
I’m so excited for the four of you. You’re going to love the west coast. You’ll be surprised how comfortable you will be in a small class C.
Excited for you all. Good luck!
Thank you!!
You two are so brave and CRAZY. I love your next adventure. One advice don’t take all u think u need. You will survive with less. Enjoy your journey. I can’t wait to ride along. 👍🥰
Nathan is going to love the simplicity of this setup !
He is so excited! No slide and versatility 😍
👏👏👏 Good luck with the C Class RV!! I’m sure y’all will make the best of it & make these 2 month’s wonderful. All aboard. 😊💕🇺🇸
Thanks so much!!
Can’t wait for the new adventures
How Fun! 😃
So awesome to see guys! We did the whole coast in a SEDAN car camping 😂😂 (before kids) and then what's when we decided we needed an RV. You're doing it right! Stoked for your trip! If you need a pit stop along your way...
That is awesome! Thank you.
How exciting! Looking forward to your California trip!
This is what we will use if we road trip again too! So fun!
Can wait to see how y'all pack up.
Hello there guys love all your videos we really enjoyed seeing them . Love your New RV its going to be fun on your vacation 😀 thanks for bringing us along with you everywhere you go love seeing new places. Your kids are getting big they are so sweet. Have fun Stay safe out there on the roads God bless Take care
You guys are going to have such a blast!!! Make sure you plan a week on the Beach at Old Rincon...Looking forward to your adventures...
It's going to be exciting!
This looks like an amazing time!
How exciting! I love my state California. It is lovely. And you are coming before the worst of tourist season. I look forward to what you enjoy here. New travel ideas or even older ones through someone else's eyes. Have a great trip.
Can't wait!
We loved our 26' 1996 Shasta Travelmaster, we towed a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport. Just two of us, but hubby took it hunting in Wyoming with 3 buddies and there was plenty of room. This is gonna be a fun trip. ❤
I love it. This is going to be awesome.
This is nice a Minnie Winnie. I love those. They are small but cute. I think it’s great you are are doing your road trip this way renting an Rv. I love how you are double checking before you leave fir your trip that everything works out for the trip in the rented Rv. I would do that to. I’m can’t wait to see your journey down the road with this Rv. It’s going to ce exciting. I’m following your journey. See you on down the road. Travel safe. Have a great day and week and see you soon!
This should make it the tri-fecta of RVs. You had the class A, then the Airstream, stayed in a van (class B) in Hawaii and the fifth wheel at your home base. So the class C is the last onw on your bingo card. Maybe we'll see you on the road this summer!
My kids would want a trap door to get to "all that storage" area from inside so they could have a fort. I hope you have an awesome summer, stay safe and healthy.
Marissa- Since 2018 I have gone on the Mission trip to Baja Mexico with your Father in Law. We are heading down to Mexico in July you all should just keep heading south with us on highway 1 or meet us in San Diego! Have a blast! Safe Travels!- Leah Vedros-Mollohan
One year we would love to do that trip! We are thinking Baja Next winter.
Oh my. We owned a very similar, no slide Itasca C, 24 footer 2016, for about 18 months while we still owned our 36 ft. fiver. The good news is that it should be a great traveler for the trip you are going on, the bad news is that 4 people in it will make you so long for your fiver, but you guys got this! We did ours with 2 oldsters and a dog, and never got west with it. I love your sense of adventure and can’t wait to see the journey, as this is one of the same trips we have not been able to do in the US, that I wish we could do as well. I am wishing you a safe, blessed trip and will love your videos along the way.
Everything you did in this video is our favorite weekend trip. RiversEdge RV Park and Dollywood. Fun!
So much fun! Love that area.
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. We (just my wife and I) in a 144 inch wheelbase class B. Small is good! Enjoy.
The west coast is incredible, this will be a great trip!! 👍
im so happy for you guys that are willing to change size of the RV to do the trip that you always dream lots of luck enjoy and stay safe, can wait for the next video, you can do anything you can out your minds to it, the kids will love it....
Thanks so much!!
I love this! That’s why we are in a small”ish” trailer. Marissa you nailed it with “being nimble” (but we never had kids, just a dog)! I might be as excited about this as you two are 😂
Yes! Thank you!
This looks like a fun trip planned. Hope it is all that you want it to be. Best of luck to you..
This looks like it's going to be a super cool season.
We certainly hope so.
What a great adventure you guys!
We were just there and I knew where the RV parking was....the people there were so nice as I would approach they would point me to where i was to go. We had made good time from New Hampshire so we had time for Dollywood, a spur of the moment decision and also for the Bread...I loved the park and all the people.
We started big when we lived in ours withb2 kids and a dog for 6 months. Now we have a 25' travel trailer with 4 kids - the queen bed is a Murphy bed. We are pretty comfy in there - we've only done 2 weeks so far as our longest in it though! But...double the kids soo I have faith in you making it 😎
Congrats! You will have another great adventure with the Class C & Jeep toad. We had the same set up for 8 years. Very fun! Please pay attention to wind speeds, direction and gusts. You will likely feel it more with this rig than your 5th wheel. Thanks for taking this unique step. We can’t wait to see your upcoming videos.
Coming from the North of the Bay Area we welcome you guys! Safe travels! Cannot wait for a meet up! Enjoy the journey!
Awesome! Thank you!
