New to your channel. We have full timed for about 2 1/2 years. And would travel for 3-6-9 months at a time before that but always maintained a “home” finally just sold our house. This is our Home.‼️ don’t think I could full time with kids. Hats off to y’all ‼️ Anyway, if you ever decide to get into a stick&brick again I have a box trailer full of household stuff I’m not sure what to do with. (Just a thought)
This was an awesome video. It goes back to show just how much things can change over time and how adaptable and how much y'all have learned in your journeys!!!!
Great tips! Our crew of five is only a bit over a week into being full time and already our clever soap dispensers have started falling off the shower wall 🤦🏻♀️
Haha.....fun video....loved it. I try stuff all of the time both at home and in the RV that often don't work. Love your look back at the stuff that didn't work!
Love this!!! Love the idea of going back and looking at old videos and really telling how it is!! This is what really is helpful for people! It is funny how at first you think things are going to be so great like the booth and then as you live in it you start to realize what actually works for you! Thanks so much for sharing great video!!! ✌🏻Maggie and Brandon
I think it’s helpful because at one point we were thinking about getting that IKEA table but after hearing how heavy it is and that it bounces across the floor now I’ve changed my mind because of your video
I know! It's crazy. We are still just shy of 2.5 years but over 2 for sure. :) Seems this idea of looking back on what works has been a good one. Thanks for the feedback!
I have been full-time rving for over 2 months so I know it all. That’s what I think sometimes. I still know nothing. I’m learning very much as I move forward though. It helps when your handy and artistic I guess. I have no expectations until it actually works lol. I don’t give up but it sucks cause we are perfectionist. Doing groceries scares me because I always wonder if they will all fit but my wife is a magician and makes them fit. I like screwing things when ever I can, it makes it more permanent. Like always awesome video!
We are fulltime and I bought New Norwex bath towels just like you and had the same problem. I returned them and got my money back. I was so disappointed.
You make it so fun Kristin ♡ LOVE IT. this is the truth- after you have really lived on the road- things that worked when you started just sometimes don't seem to work. Commentary was great!! I loved your 1yr in tour also ♡ I am for screwing in also if you know its going b good to be a long term thing that needs support.
Haha! Everyone raves about them. Some of ours have stayed but by and large they just fall off and make me mad at the all the money wasted trying to make them stick when I should have just screwed them into the wall in the first place. haha
We don't full time but bought the cheap plates and stuff that stays in the rv or should but even the clothes that should be in there all year get taken out after every trip. Lol. We have enough storage for 2. The refrigerator is the only drawback. But we always take too much food. Lol. I save the half gallon ice tea or milk and refill them from a gallon.
New to your channel and will be buying our first travel camper this year now that were down to just 2 kids (the other 4 are adults now) Looking forward to getting away in between deployments! Loved your video and was the first one of yours I have seen so I am going to check out the rest!
We're glad you liked it! :) We put out a video about each just this past July so they are pretty up to date. :) "Wish we would have known about RV" - th-cam.com/video/K3bYSqpTKEE/w-d-xo.html and "Wish we would have known about Travel Nursing" - th-cam.com/video/GhKik3_dHW8/w-d-xo.html
You bet! While in Phoenix we exclusively boondock, there's so much opportunity for it. Check out the boondocking guide on our website to learn about where we stayed and where to get water and dump: www.noordinarypath.com/boondocking-guide
norwex- what i do is boil water ina big pot and put them in there with free and clear soap, let them soak over night and then rinse them and let them dry. Never ever had an issue in the 8 yrs I've used norwex. (and I do not sell them either)
I might have to give them another try. I kept them in a trash bag and they've been there now for 2 years. They always smelled so bad that my other laundry would stink too. I use public laundry rooms and I feel that the residue from previous people might have ruined them. I didn't have a way to boil or strip them. But now we have a true home base and a washer of our own so I might give them another try.
This might be an odd question, so, living/traveling in an RV for work, does this mean the RV is "your home", y'all don't have a home/apt 'on the side'?
Correct. We would love to find a piece of land or house someday but for now, our RV is it. We do maintain a tax home home in KS for travel nurse purposes but that's a whole different topic. 😊
Theory, ideas and cleverness are always cool in the realm of the showroom. But time and real life in the real world has a habit of really ruthlessly sorting out the stuff that just plain works from what just flat out doesn’t. Unfortunately, that learning process can come at with considerable consequences and expense.
Truth. Some things may work better for people without kiddos. Our kids are hard on things and honestly so are we when we are in a tight space. Everything must have a place and function that makes life EASIER, not more complicated. :) As they say, time will tell. It certainly does!

We've been full time for over 3 years. We're still learning!! It's a never ending education!!!
THIS! I love that this is real tried and true. Real life vs Pinterest
That was a really fun video idea! It’s great with having everything documented you really get to reflect on the past 😂
Glad you enjoyed it!

i live in florida with 99% humidity and the 3M command products work well for me. Good video.
Please do more of these self reviews. It is definitely helpful to see what is or is not a good idea as time passes! Love you guys!
Will do!! Thanks for the feedback and encouragement. :)
Great tips! Our crew of five is only a bit over a week into being full time and already our clever soap dispensers have started falling off the shower wall 🤦🏻♀️
Haha! Hang in there! Part of the fun is finding out what works. 😁
Drill them in is the same as screwing them in.
We knew exactly what you meant.

This is awesome, all these "best" videos never get re-evaluated...especially with kids! Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I think it’s helpful because at one point we were thinking about getting that IKEA table but after hearing how heavy it is and that it bounces across the floor now I’ve changed my mind because of your video
I love this video. It is nice to see what works for full timers after they have been using said item.
Great video. I really did enjoy it. You do always see videos on hacks, but this is the first I've seen about hacks that don't work over time.
I can’t believe it’s been over 2 years. Man, time flies! I like the updates on whether the hacks worked or not.
I know! It's crazy. We are still just shy of 2.5 years but over 2 for sure. :) Seems this idea of looking back on what works has been a good one. Thanks for the feedback!
Life is just a series of IMAGINE-TRY-RE-EVALUATE-IMAGINE.... nice commentary. I always wonder how these things work out for people!
Put baking soda in with your detergent
Great tip. We have done that. Those towels couldn't be fixed. Haha! But no issues with other towels since. :)
We watched on the TV , could not comment so doing it now..... This is awesome.
😂 command strips and extra storage!The bane of my existence! I love how the toy bins devolved... -Carolyn
I suspect the toy bins will continue developing for as long as we RV. lol! And those darn command strips. gah!
Love this I have tried so many tips that do not work
Great video
Thanks!
We enjoyed the look back/update!!!
Yay! Thank you!

I wish I had thought to return them. I tried a solid 3 months to make it work.
Yes! Please review how painting/decorating have held up.
You make it so fun Kristin ♡ LOVE IT. this is the truth- after you have really lived on the road- things that worked when you started just sometimes don't seem to work. Commentary was great!! I loved your 1yr in tour also ♡ I am for screwing in also if you know its going b good to be a long term thing that needs support.
Haha thanks! Screwing in the wall for the win.
I really enjoyed this one as I never have luck with those stick strips. Good job!
Haha! Everyone raves about them. Some of ours have stayed but by and large they just fall off and make me mad at the all the money wasted trying to make them stick when I should have just screwed them into the wall in the first place. haha
TRUTH! Lovin' the REALNESS!
Yes please with the updates to videos! Really enjoyed this one 🙂
They make waterproof command strips
I think a review of alone time, date times, and just keeping a mental check on all video would be good.
We don't full time but bought the cheap plates and stuff that stays in the rv or should but even the clothes that should be in there all year get taken out after every trip. Lol. We have enough storage for 2. The refrigerator is the only drawback. But we always take too much food. Lol. I save the half gallon ice tea or milk and refill them from a gallon.
Nice! Good hack on the half gallons.
New to your channel and will be buying our first travel camper this year now that were down to just 2 kids (the other 4 are adults now) Looking forward to getting away in between deployments! Loved your video and was the first one of yours I have seen so I am going to check out the rest!
Yay! Welcome to the NOP fam. We are excited for your journey!
Love your review of what didn’t work. It is helpful. 👍🏻
I'm so glad!
Awesome video! It would be great to do a “ wish I’ve would have known “ video about rving full time and traveling nursing as a rver
We're glad you liked it! :) We put out a video about each just this past July so they are pretty up to date. :) "Wish we would have known about RV" - th-cam.com/video/K3bYSqpTKEE/w-d-xo.html and "Wish we would have known about Travel Nursing" - th-cam.com/video/GhKik3_dHW8/w-d-xo.html
Super helpful! Just starting out on our RV journey. Thanks!
Awesome! 😍🙌
Glad I found your video! Wondering where you stayed in Phoenix? Thanks

But now we have a true home base and a washer of our own so I might give them another try.
Also, I wouldn't have a pot big enough - they are bath towels not just the small enviro towels.
Good vid thanks
Good tips. Travel safe.
Thank you!
We all learn, as we go. 👍🏼🤔
Loved this! More please.
Interesting video. Live and learn. Love the red and white Irish Chain quilt. Did you make it?
My grandmother made it. :) She travels with us now.
No Ordinary Path. Sweet!
Fun and very helpful. 😃👍🏻
Did you look at ikea couches to replace yours? I'm researching doing a skoolie & many people rave about ikea couches.
I would love if you could give the ideas that have worked! I feel like I’ve made all these mistakes!!! Shoes are the worst!!!
What do you mean by contract? (Mentioned about the ikea dining table and milk)
My husband is a travel nurse and each contract is 13 weeks. :)
You guys are great lol

What mobile wifi do you guys use or recommend?

How about things that have worked for you guys long term?
A good suggestion, we'll work on making it!
Off Topic but, I would give anything to have your beautiful teeth!
Sounds like most of these ideas would be great if you just got rid of the kids. LOL.
🤣🤔🤪
Too FUNNY
