- We love our Winnebago Travato and have no issues with it…. But sometimes changes in life mean you need to made a change in your RV… our grand kids are getting older and they can travel with is, but we would need a bigger RV to make this happen.
So w made a trip to the summer Tampa RV show to look around. This show is much smaller show than the super show in January but there was still a nice selection.
Hmmm… what should we do??

From what you have voiced on your needs in the past, Ellie makes most sense to keep and if you bring the grandkids maybe the teardrop or a tent. The way you travel it seems like Ellie fits best. I personally loved our travel trailer and the space it provided. Then all we had to do is unhook the truck and exploring we’d go.
Throw a tent in your van with some sleeping bags and the kids can go with you. Walmart, less than $200. Love camping in the Adirondacks for almost 60 years.❤ love you guys.
We live just south of the Adirondacks!
I actually was thinking tue same thing, throw a tent in the van! Maybe a different option if you had the grandkids full time, but too big an investment for just a once in a while!
My thoughts exactly including camping in the ADK’s as I watch
I heartily agree!!!the kids won’t travel with you very often.
Do the teardrop and keep your van. The Travato 59K is great when it’s just the two of you and then when you want to take the grandkids you can pull the teardrop! Best of both worlds!
Yep I was coming on to suggest the same thing! Your van doesn’t have an attachable screen room option does it?
Check if there's a travel trailer that is light enough to work with your van. The grand kids aren't old enough to sleep alone. With tables that drop down and fold out couches, that could work fine for little kids. You could check out used ones. How much can your van pull?
This is really informative and realistic explaining at the end of video on the situation with RVs (any type) now. Jason so funny at the end-the temptation is real.
For me, I'd be skeptical of that enormous full wall slide on that Class A long term. The tear drops are so cute, would be fun with the grandkids. Seems like a good solution to something you only need sometimes.
Tent! or a good used lil teardrop. Keep it simple and affordable!
Just remember if you purchase a drivable RV, you’re gonna be stuck where you stop at you won’t have a vehicle unless you’re pulling something to drive around town. I just finished watching the rest of the video that was a very good decision to hold off specially for the information you provided for resale.
I think for a larger capacity a travel trailer would be a better option than a larger motorhome as the larger motorhome becomes more of an issue parking when you go to places other than the campground.
Class A for sure
Look at the class C the kids love the over bunk and I feel they are safer and easier to bug out, its also like a truck and easy to drive that’s why they rent so many lol and when it’s raining outside you just put it in park no need to be out there setting stuff up immediately, we love the ability to just walk in the back👍🏻, just a thought. Make sure covers on the windows are on the inside never outside, you need to be able to pull away without going outside. 👍🏻
Do the Class A for sure
I want to buy the Holiday Rambler Admiral 28A but the interest rates too high 😮
I like the idea of the tear drop. When just you two wanna go, you can without it and spend less on gas.
Yep tents
Where is your puppy?
Teardrop. Gives you the options with or without the kids
Go with REV group products ( Holiday Rambler, Fleetwood or American Coach) best value in Class A gas or diesel
We like having a travel trailer because we can unhitch the camper leave it at the campground and we still have a vehicle to drive around and sight see in.
My question....where is Pepper the puppy?????❤
FYI dont get gas pusher, it cant get into most gas stations because of height and diesel has more power.
Just get a tent for the kids, they would probably like that! We have always tent camped, and love it. But you would have the VAn and a tent… a lot cheaper!!
My husband loves the Class A's too, but our Class C is pretty big (2022 Jayco Redhawk 31f) and we don't owe anything on it (it was free, the cash that came with it paid most of the taxes). I wouldn't want a payment and definitely wouldn't won't to be upside down on it. I say...go with a used teardrop camper (they were super cute, and kids would have a blast in it), you might could get a really good deal on one?
I’d go for the holiday rambler, seems like y’all really liked it.
😃😃👋🏾👋🏾 Motor homes and RV's look great! I would probably get sleeping bags, blankets and lillows and make a pallet at night for the grandchildren. Save the money foe wven MORE teavel. 😊😊😊
If you truly want a different rig, sell your Travato on your own to keep from losing such a large amount. We sold our Class C on RVTrader and received $8000 less than we paid for it new. Good luck on whatever you decide!
We have a NuCamp T@G and love it. Thinking of getting a van to pull it.
FIGHT THE MID-LIFE CRISIS !!!!! ❤ 😘
Did you know Elle would look great with tear drop behind
Class A all the way! We have a 35’ Class A and love it. It has taken us on 2 epic trips from Southern California to Yellowstone (we were still working at the time). We had to buy ourselves out of a Class B - our Class A is almost paid off - Yay! Great video!
A all the way!
YES INDEED 💯🙌👍
That teardrop tow behind seems to be the right choice if you go that way….Just sayin!
Class A all the way! 26:09
All I’m gonna say is think about it think about it do your homework think about it and make sure
I would love to see you guys driving a Class A, don't you deserve it?
Kids can tent next to you. We are looking into buying a class b and are considering the grandkids also.
I would like to see you in the class A. Your welcome Jason!!
Tear drop is great ❤
Can’t take an RV on a cruise so I wouldn’t be interested in any of them! LOL 😅 That being said, even when it’s not about the money, it’s about the money! Tap tear drop me for the win.
A class A. The rambler was really nice and worth the money. I loved the first Elly that you had. Was that a Class C? Loved the size of that one.
For now if you were to bite the bullet I would say the tear drop.
I see Jason and you in a class A. More room for family to travel with you.
i never quite got why you changed fromthe Gemini to the Travato.
Teardrop
Jason is right. You live once. Get the Class A. Maybe make it a 2025 plan with hopeful better interest rates. Pepper wants a bit more room :)
Buy a nice tent with some cots. You probably wouldn’t take the kids enough to justify buying an RV. Plus the interest is insane!
I guess it depends on how old your grandkids are. If you get a teardrop, they will be in there by themselves. If they are older, are they going to take off and be out all night? If they are younger, what happens if they (for example) get sick and need you? I wouldn’t put kids in a teardrop by themselves. That’s just my opinion.
Teardrop!!
I think a class A makes the most sense for you
Get a tent and some blow up mattresses and let them sleep outside alongside Ellie.
I'd get a used tear drop! You don't need it for every trip, and Ellie is great for what you are doing now! Wait till you're 60 and then look at something bigger. Who knows, you might have 8 grandkids by then!
I’m with Jason…. Definitely a Class A. I wouldn’t want the kids in a separate trailer out by themselves. That’s just me. They get sick, they need to go to the bathroom, you can’t trust crazies out there…..
I agree. With the way things are today, having precious cargo, which are your grandkids, NEVER have them sleep in a separate compartment from you. Anything can happen. Submitted respectfully ❤
Big is nice but not always better. Would you have to tow a small car as well? Sadly, I noticed you haven't mentioned Pepper as part of your future vacation travels.
You nor I would leave small children to sleep by themselves in a teardrop? Therefore, it would need to be a unit that sleeps everyone! Otherwise, you could get a 2-4 man tent with blow up mattresses?
I know that these shows are super tempting, but financially speaking, stick with what you have and shop for a used teardrop.
the travel trailer would be good for you I think teardrop to small. The grandkids wont want to sleep alone in there yet. Loved that Gemini you guys had before.
It’s a terrible market right now for selling or upgrading your RV. Because of a divorce, I had to sell my gorgeous 2yr old Class A and was actually $75K upside down. Just couldn’t afford to keep it and the house on my own. Sucks.
They make tents that fit over the back hatch, the grandkids could sleep in that and still be part of the van
If your thinking payments, do it soon. At 72 (my age), no payments allowed.
If you are 38k upside down in a unit that isn’t quite meeting your needs, why not roll it over to the unit that does fit your needs? What difference does it make which one has the 38k upside down as long as it fits your needs and the monthly budget can handle the payment?
I have a question how many times will you travel with your grandchildren? Is it necessary to buy a bigger van something ft o think about
I want to see videos of the Norwegian escape. And what deck is the kerrioke? Alisa please respond
Teardrop for the kids needs at least a wet bath, don’t want the kids outside by themselves in the middle of the nite.
I am with you Jason...but don't go in debt for it lol...viv
Where is the puppy?
They aren’t answering the question odd
Probably need a loan for the gas tanks and gas mileage on some of those 'homes! 😂
Love this video. Did you get the new rv. Let Jason live his dream
I remember when you had a bigger camper..... Are you forgetting the difficulty with parking!!!! Elly with a small tow behind Gives you the best of both worlds. You have the flexabilty to just run elly when its just you two but your can hook up when you have the kiddos. The next best option would be a tow behind because you could park and then use the truck to explore, but that has drawbacks. IMO....
lol the grand villa is a park model rv it is not meant to be towed around
Should have never got rid of the class c!
Where’s Pepper?
Take the van and come to the Tulsa state fair. I ask before and ask again. Tulsa Oklahoma state fair. September 26 , to October 12
I loved the class A yall fell in love with!
teardrop with be the best one....
Look into a Cortez camper
Great video, it’s always fun to look. That one massive “bumper pull” was a destination trailer, definitely not something you tow from campground to campground. Most have to be delivered. Congrats on the new grand baby
I was coming on to say the same thing. It is a destination trailer not a pullable.
I like the look of the class A
I want to see Norwegian escape videos please
Get a tent! Alisa and the girls can sleep in the van and Jason can sleep in the tent! It’s a win-win! Manly men love tents! 😀Really, I think you should give it some time. Hopefully the economy will get better, not worse! Love you guys!
Get a Scamp or a Casita

Love the teardrop!
Class A is great

Get the pre owned tear drop camper with out door kitchen. Remember why you traded down to the van. Ability to park pretty much everywhere a car can.
It is not the time to buy a new RV, the prices, interest and quality are not where they need to be.
Teardrop!
Can you rent a teardrop? Is it feasible?
Good question
Thank you for your honesty. It was so great to listen to 2 level headed people decide the timing was not right. And there is a good option to look for a slightly used option at a better price! I love your videos, keep them coming. 🩷 Your MS neighbor!
That was fun. Thank you. I think the little teardrop best meets your use case of occasionally needing the room for a couple of guests.
Class A
Class A sounds amazing, but financially a small used, inexpensive, teardrop is the best idea. With a tear drop, at least you can keep it at your home base when your kids are not with you. Or maybe just wait, maybe it’s not the right time yet, you are still young. Being that we have a travel trailer with a truck, honestly, sometimes it gets tiring to tow something. Whatever decision you guys make, I doubt it would be a bad decision since you compliment each other so well lol!
Walk some used RV lots first. They are packed with good inventory. The economy downturn and post Plandemic have glutted the market with inventory.
I have to agree with they young lady below. A used teardrop would be the more practical option. A teardrop would be my grandbabies dream camper!
Go on a Norwegian escape cruise. You and Jason will have fun
Was fun shopping along with you and appreciate hearing the sobering reality of todays current oversaturated RV market with high interest.
My childhood family camped frequently in the 60’s/70’s with a camper. My brother and I always slept in a tent and we so enjoyed it over sleeping in the camper with our folks.
Do you have a place to store a class A? Rental storage is expensive. Many HOA's will not allow big rigs. I can't even have a van in my community. I'm limited to what will fit into my one car garage. Saving up for an Aliner ranger 10 bunk. It's a hard sided pop up. Sleep 2-3 and I want to be able to stand up inside. They are nice and light. I will be able to tow it with my minivan.
Rv shopping is so fun. We bought a 27’ 2020 forest river travel trailer.. purchased on emotion for sure. While she is great and we use her as a guest house currently, I would have gotten a different model if we traveled more. We took her out 1 time before we moved across the country, then had truck problems and then our brand new tire got a flat on the trip across the country… so now she’s a guest house lol. We hope to take her back out camping sometime but may be a little bit
I wouldn't let kids sleep in a camper by themselves. Too many crazy people. Maybe rent a cabin with them. So much cheaper in the long run.
You're smart to not do anything now. Van life looks good for the 2 of you but I would never buy a teardrop and put my grandkids in there to sleep by themselves. This world is way too scary. Love all your videos and variety of your adventures.
Yah should get a bigger one your dog Pepper needs space to run around.🤠😎
Congratulations on the new grandbaby.
