Hey All....Thanks for watching this video. It might be good to note that this was done in April 2015. We have done yearly followup videos also as we continue down the road living this lifestyle. Be sure to check out our channel... TH-cam.com/DavidBott
how did you install the lights on your gerads? we have a 2009 beaver that we are looking to install led lights onto and we are also looking for under the slide lights but don't have any outside power source except for in the bay areas. Thank you !
Ran 12V to the roof where I put the Wi-Fi controller and then ran the wires down the inside of the arms. As far as putting LEDs underneath your slide outs, remember your slide outs are perfectly sealed you can always put power out the rubber seal. For example our rear ones come out from underneath the bed where we has 12V running by. Good luck.
I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. My wife and I are thinking of pulling up anchor and going this route. So many incredible things to see and I'm hoping we can pull it off. Great to see pros and cons. Thanks for sharing. Very helpful information.
God Bless the both of you for the work you have done for our veterans and wounded warriors. You are two selfless and unique people. By the way the video...WELL DONE!
My wife and I are considering an Allegro Bus as well. Just looked at the 2019 and we really like the toned down interior. Your blogs are exactly what I was looking for. Thanks you so much!!
There you two are. Havent seen ya in a while. Good to see ya still enjoying life in your beautiful home on the range or anywhere you chose to go. Love your home and God has Blessed you both and I love you both. Have fun and keep on truckin y’all
John Mantey Thanks John. if you have not already found us, we are at OutsideOurBubble.com with other information etc on our adventures and RV help. Enjoy your you Tiffin and congrats!
David Bott Thanks David. I look forward to reading your blog and watching more of your videos. BTW, I watched your video on the WInegard antenna upgrade. I put the device in my Tiffin today (easy install) and it works like a charm, TV tuning is easy now. I'm also going to get the same tire pressure monitor you have as well. All the best :-)
First of all let me say that I love your videos and your bus. 2nd I really like your ideas and improvements that you made on your bus. And last but not least, I love your attitudes, but you two are crazy in a fun way. lol Awesome couple indeed. :)
My wife and I have been sitting on the RV fence since we both retired from the hectic but satisfying corporate world back in in 2012. We were both nearing 60 at the time. Back then we kicked around the idea of picking up the RV life and running with it. Upon retirement, we sold our home and a rental condo and moved into a new, very well equipped apartment in while pondering our next move. Two years later a dream home rental came on the market here in Westminster, CO and we jumped. For $2,500 a month (same monthly rent as the apartment), we now live in a very rural, quiet and peaceful slice of Denver. The owner has given us the option to purchase in 2 years. After watching your video and many others, we have finally come to the conclusion that the RV life is no longer an option for us, though the notion is very seductive indeed. When one takes the time to factor in fuel, maintenance, depreciation, park fees, and other associated cost that are inherent with living life on the road, the notion to put those 6 wheels in motion simply does not make great economical sense. We can live in our beautiful rental, parks and ranching operations all around, have our grand children with us while my wife and I manage our home based businesses, and feel very content. We can travel at will both in and out of country and return to our stationary, quiet, LAND HOME! As much as we have enjoyed and loved traveling across this great country of ours, staying put makes the most economical sense, especially when factoring in our desire to be with our children and grandchildren as often as we can. Traveling with 2 cats seems a bit scary to me as much as I love animals. The stress of trying to keep and maintain a rig of your size in good operating order while towing your 'get around vehicle' would seem to add an additional layer of unneeded stress. The more RV videos I watch the more I have come to cherish our stationary life style. And living in those tight quarters for extended periods of time would now drive me over the top. The older I get the more I have come to appreciate my space and I now my wife feels the same way. I have my garage, basement and beautiful grounds to put around in when taking a break from my consulting work. My wife has her own office, sewing room, bedroom and huge bathroom with walk-in closet. Living in Colorado is expensive, but I'm now convinced it's not as expensive as the life style you have chosen, even if your rig is paid for. And how can you put a price tag on minimizing stress? We wish you the best of luck in your future traveling endeavors, we pray for fair winds and smooth sailing while staying safe! And thank you for sharing a bit of your life with the world. Blessings...
Tom Stiveson Thank You for saying everything that I'm " THINKING ! " . I'm really out there looking at different companies that make these beautiful Rv's , but at the same time ....... I'm thinking like you and your wife . I live in Brazil and Germany as well and Switzerland when I want to see really close friends , So now I'm wondering..... When and where do I park and lock up this Monster ?! And then once I come back ... It's back on the road again ?! It's so so much to think about . One tire blow out could be 380.00 to 600.00 dollars , and that's just the tire issue ! I don't drink nor do I smoke , but have you ever seen one of these huge monsters catch on fire ???!! They burn down within " Seconds !! " . It's so much to think about . As a Veteran I hoped to see United States more in a positive beautiful way . But due to Trump .... I don't know . I know Europe and other parts better than United States ! Because African Americans are just welcomed as a " Man ! " whose interested in their country and way of life . Here in America I'm just this " black man " with some money and this really nice Rv , ( That I don't want written on ! , with ignorance by stupid people ) . Here it's a lot to think about . But it sure does look fun ! I'm ready .... But everything and I mean ( EVERYTHING ) you said was right on point ! I wish you and your wife a Cool , Relaxing , " Quiet " Retirement .... You deserve it ! 👍
Everyone is different and has a different idea of how they want to live. While this type of living would stress you out others don't want to sit around in one place waiting to die. To each their own as they say. Looks like you made the right choice for you and your wife.
Stop feeling sorry for yourself and put the race card back in your pocket. Ignorance like that is why we have such an issue now. Trump will only improve our way of life and do good for the country, go get educated on FACTS and stop watching tv and believing everything people tell you.
Thanks for the update. I remember some of your first videos. It's hard believe it's been a year. Time flys when you're having fun. Enjoy your life style. Take care and don't burst your bubble. lol
Hi...Not sure you are aware, but we are now going into our 4th year. So time really does fly. :) I mention this as this video you commented on was the 1 year video and we just yesterday released our 3rd year video. :)
David Bott , sorry about the year comment. But I remember your videos. I agree this isn't camping. I don't call my unit a RV , I call mine a coach as well. Of course mine didn't cost as much as yours. You've got a beautiful coach. I'm not a full timer..... yet. waiting on some friends to retire a 3rd time to travel some with me. Some like traveling by themselves , I'm not one. I like to have friends enjoy the sites . There's lot to see here in the U.S. We've all traveled the world together, we all retired Air Force Flyers. We have plans to travel one last time Germany and Italy for 3 months and that will be the last overseas trip. You guys enjoy , talk to you again sometime.
Just wanted to let yo guys know that I just watched you for the first time and I would love to meet you guys as your riding through Kentucky. You are living my life and I will be praying for your safe travels wherever it may take you and to let you know that you now have friends here if ever this way. After watching you guys I want to look into the ups and downs and still choose to own my own one day and just go see the country! Stay safe and God keep you both!!
Just retired and Just started RVing! Been watching tons of TH-cam videos for instructional purposes and I must say this one is of the best for information and entertainment! Gorgeous rig and love the technology, especially the drone shots! Very well done. You two make a great team. I’m really looking forward to watching your other videos!
Wow im glad to here you guys survived in that million dollar coach hope you guys didnt struggle too much i know it was probably rough at times throughout the year glad to to see you guys made it
You've given us some great information on the additional gadgets, you are much appreciated. My wife and I just purchased our first motor home to get started on the road, we look forward to hearing more about your travels and experiences on the road. Be safe out there.
Thanks guys! Now, my wife and I only did FT for a few years and we really did have a great time. One of the major reasons we stopped was the 'parking lot' atmosphere but that was back in the 90's. I'm sure facilities have changed. To this day, coffee is the most essential 'supplement'! Even when we use to rough it, Cowboy coffee was with us every morning. It would be great to see a similar video of your favorite and least favorite areas and campground issues. Oh, we did settle for a small farm in Oregon, without close neighbors:))
We surely have been to our fair share of campgrounds that have, well, "issues". But we are not ones to really put a place down and point our flaws etc. We try to take a more positive approach if we can. But yup, we have even pulled out of parks. We do have a lot of videos on places we have been that we had flown with the quadcoptor and we usually write about it also in our blog with a link provided in the video text. And yes, I have my coffee right next to me.
Great video ! Luv your personalities and your coach! I'm thinking of living my life like this in the near future! Of course I can't afford the coach you have but you've given me some great ideas !!! Keep on loving and living !!
Friggin Amazing... I've helped raise 23 Suicidal Kids in @risk single-parent families and we always talk about living the dreammmm. It's a tough road with these kids, but it sure seems like you folks are doing exactly that...LIVIN THE DREAM. Great video and you guys made my day. thx, Jeff
Hi, I really like your home. We are "not retired yet newbies:)." We just bought a 40ft. 2005 Holiday Rambler Endeavor. We really like it. My husband though, would love to have a tag axle (is that what you call the one like yours?)and a bigger motor. Yet, we're having fun when we do get to go:) His vacation always starts in July. He has four weeks a year. So our first long trip will be to Louisiana. To see my family. We're in GA. where I was born but I also lived in New Orleans. My family is there. We can't wait to take it, on a longer trip. Right now the we only go about 2 hours away from home. It's so relaxing just to see and spend the day and night in different places:) Even if it's not far from home. We're raising our 14 year old granddaughter. She loves swimming and meeting other kids at the camps:) She's homeschooled. My husband has four years until retirement so we take off for a day and a half and HAVE FUN!! I have a question. I see you have cats. Now, I can see y'all love them:) Yet, I do kind of feel sorry that they can't go outside. How do y'all and they handle that? Also, are they declawed? I started my cat out to be an inside cat. She cried so badly to go out. I finally just gave in. We lived in the country. I really like your videos and y'all are both so funny.I just recently came upon your station. I cracked up when your wife went hopping across the front of the coach. When you were showing something about your camera or a motion detector. I can't remember. I just remember laughing:)
Hi ! You guys look like you're having a lot of fun with your bus :-) Congrats on making your first year in an RV. I'll be starting my third year come September, wow how time flies. Good luck with everything and I love the improvements you've made on your rig. It's given me some ideas too for customizing The Turtle further. Cheers ! Janis
Cool video, just bought our first Tiffin, 45opp. Can't wait to get traveling more. We spend about 4 months a year in our rv. Always had 5th wheels so this will be different.
Very nice. I looking to buy a class A myself. First one to own one in family when I buy it. You make it look fun. We already own a 2017 Polaris XP4 1000 RZR. Thanks for your video!
This is the first time I have veiwed one of your videos and absolutely fantastic entertaining and informative thank you very very much just had a wonderful time.
This was my first time viewing one of your videos....I was really entertained and impressed. My inlaws traveled around the country for 2 & 1/2 years in a fifth wheel. I look forward to viewing more! Safe travels!
Of all of the coaches I have had ( 8 ), The allegro Bus was the worse. Maybe I just got a lemon, but I would never buy another. The bottoms of all drawers were thin and stapled, the same with the overhead cabinets. Within a few months they were sagging in the middle. The inside wood trims would fall off as I was driving down the road. The latches on the kitchen drawers were all faulty and the drawers would open while driving. Both the side drivers shade and the passengers side shades broke within months. The awning leaked at the roof line from the first time we used it until the last, even though we had tried to have them fix it twice. Good luck with it. I dumped mine after 6 months.
isawondfl1 which Allegro Bus was it? Please email us we are looking into getting one and like to know some more of what you didn't like and had issues with. Many Thanks
Cute couple. I like the video! I had walked some RV's last year and you have a really nice one. They had doubled in price in a two year period. I like the ideas that you have changed. I will add that to my file. Not keeping the key in the ignition is ingenious.
You guys should do a video showing how you store things for travel. The Kitchen items like plates , cups and glasses, and securing counter top appliances like the coffee machine. Also , you have really nicely decorated the coach, how do you store the decorative items as well
Man, I'm really digging your videos David & Brenda. As you know, My wife and I have a 2015 Tiffin Allegro 36LA and you have helped me with my Winegard Antenna signal locator, getting better WIFI, tire pressure monitor, fire extinguisher, and so much more. Thanks for making these videos, they are indeed helping guys like myself. Also, I really like your RV Resort fly overs, I stayed at Portal RV last summer and will return this summer. Doug is a great host!
Excellent video. I subbed and will be a loyal follower. The shower scene was so funny. The video was well scripted and very informative. Thank you for taking the time to do this video.
I've blown a rear tire at highway speed, as well as blowing a trailer tire. In both cases there was immediate noise and vibration that easily alerted us to the problem.
Lol, your wife is a hoot!! When she was jumping, in front the coach.I just hooted:) Y'all are so funny! I love funny. We have a 40 ft. 2004 Holiday Rambler Endeavor. We love ours and are blessed to have it but WOW, that one is stunning. My husband saw the video. After he cracked up laughing, he said "I'd love to have that."
Great video. Maybe you could do a video on what your expenses were the first 6 months and what if anything you changed to be more efficient financially if you needed. Thank you
Oh Gosh, David, Brenda and yourself make a wonderful presentation of information I would like to learn. Always best to learn under pleasant circumstances ! rc
Dear Outside, Thank You, so much for the very informative review. The most, best part is the fact that You were exactly to the point. There was no him-hawing around just to, just to. Thank You also for not e-begging. It sure gets annoying. This is a wonderful video. Good job. Sincerely, NAWALT
Great presentation David! Love the "Bells & Whistles" you two have added to your rig! You guys may not be campers, but 12dys in the desert, with a motorhome like this, you kind of think of the word Glampers instead lol!
LOL. I've always liked motor coaches and the tours of the living amenity's for some reason. Yours was hilarious! Shower "revile" busted me up. Keep on living that happy life. Being a cat person can I recommend a happy cat fix? Look into a min cat tree with a few levels and a telescoping pole that you can take in and out of the dash area.
For what it's worth, when you run fans exhausting air from components, you create negative air pressure in that cabinet. Some people prefer it, but watch out for extra dust buildup. If you can find a spot where you can input fresh air as well, it'll do you some good.
+Carlos Reyes Hi Carlos. You always want to remove hot air from any electrics area. The creation of negative air pressure is what you want as air pressure will always find a way in. Seeing there are may open large cable holes in the that area, new air coming in is not an issue. The idea is to remove heat, not allow for build up as it was in this case as the air could not be forced out quick enough and heat then climbs. (Background...I am the founder of AVSForum thus having helped build todays home theater experience.)
David Bott I'm thinking from making PCs here. you're just trying to cool the general cabinet area as opposed to the individual electronic component? Eventually I want to build or refurbish these things, and tech is very important to me.
Hi David... Freedom Quest Here... I finally got to chance to watch your video here... Totally Outstanding... I have learned so much from all of your experiences dealing with RV's and your outings that I am getting more and more excited and plan to go all electric myself. I also love that techie things... besides your new product CoachProxy, I also love that product you talk to and it answered you back with the weather... What's the name of that product? Do you have a link? Looking forward to meeting you both someday soon, somewhere on the road and outside of my bubble :) You Always Fill My Brain with Knowledge as well as... Put a Smile on My Face! Love You Guys...
I always figured they would make these coaches as double-deckers with the upper deck holding two bedroom suites. But I’ve never seen such a configuration.
David and Brenda, thank you for your video. I thought it had some useful tips. There is one thing David shared, with which I disagree. It is turning the blower fans to blow hot air out of the cabinet instead of blowing outside air into the cabinet. Air flow will be significantly increased by blowing cooler air into and through the cabinet to be cooled, than if one attempts to blow hot air out of the heated cabinet. This is due to the density difference between cooler air vs. hotter air. The direction of airflow was purposely done by the engineers. A fixed pitch fan blade will "bite" and move a much greater volume of cool air, than the same fan blowing warmer air. It is a matter of physics.
Hi James, thanks for your thoughts. In this case you need to remove the hot air out of the small cavity the gear is in. Cooler air will always find it's way in due to air pressure vs trying to force air in and the air not being able to get out and actually building heat (Static pressure build due to air not being able to get out;). I did tests and the difference in this case was 137 degrees inside with the air going IN vs 114 with it being drawn out. And remember, it is not always cool air that would be blown in as if you are running heat, then you would be adding heat into the cavity vs AC air. I have worked with A/V gear and cooling companies for many years. Getting the hot air out from around gear is alway preferred if you only the the option of one fan. A fan setup with air coming in and out is best. (Which I ended up doing in this case and then removed all that poor gear that was used that was never meant to be in that much heat. Per the manual, max operating temp was 100F and the outside of the cases read 147!!!) David Bott- Founder - AVSForum.com
Beautiful coach! I recently purchased a 2012 32 ft. Thor Hurricane. Love it as a newbie RVer but eventually want to upgrade to something bigger and go full time RVing. Unfortunetly, the ol' lady doesnt have the same aspirations...sigh.
Great video! It's nice to see a video where the fulltimers have a newer RV. Love that yours is not cluttered too lol. You two are hilarious. Will definitely subscribe. OMG I love Alexa!
When you discussed the awning LEDs, were you at Bayley's camping resort in Scarborough? I recognize that fountain and the lights on each electrical post. Great video!
Hey All....Thanks for watching this video. It might be good to note that this was done in April 2015. We have done yearly followup videos also as we continue down the road living this lifestyle. Be sure to check out our channel... TH-cam.com/DavidBott

David Bott thank you for the help and I’ll next the luck lol
David Bott thanks I love this video
Great shower scene lol. What is the range of low end to nice coaches. * not million dollar ones lol.
That has to be one of the Best reviews I have ever seen of a couple doing a complete rundown and review of their Tiffin Allegro motorhome.
I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. My wife and I are thinking of pulling up anchor and going this route. So many incredible things to see and I'm hoping we can pull it off. Great to see pros and cons. Thanks for sharing. Very helpful information.
it's always nice to see people enjoy living in their choice of life style, and gives hope and dream that one day we can achieve the same!
God Bless the both of you for the work you have done for our veterans and wounded warriors. You are two selfless and unique people. By the way the video...WELL DONE!
We’re excited to start our adventure soon. Bought a Newmar 40’ RV. Look forward to experience what the Country has to offer!
My wife and I are considering an Allegro Bus as well. Just looked at the 2019 and we really like the toned down interior. Your blogs are exactly what I was looking for. Thanks you so much!!
We just purchased ours! loved the video. It has helped because we will be living in ours full-time as well.
I really appreciate the info on the cameras and security systems. Those are things I want to install in my camper. Thanks.
There you two are. Havent seen ya in a while. Good to see ya still enjoying life in your beautiful home on the range or anywhere you chose to go. Love your home and God has Blessed you both and I love you both. Have fun and keep on truckin y’all
I really enjoy your videos. My wife and I just purchased a Tiffin Allegro 36LA. We are very happy with our coach.

Please watch The Truth of God with Pastor Gino Jennings on TH-cam
Thanks for sharing your life story with all of us viewers. I think your doing GREAT at enjoying your life of the here and now
I love that you add humor to your review especially Brenda bouncing in front of the coach very funny.
And the "technical difficulties" in the shower scene. :-D
Thank you for sharing. Your motor home is just beautiful!

Tom Stiveson Thank You for saying everything that I'm " THINKING ! " .
I'm really out there looking at different companies that make these beautiful Rv's , but at the same time ....... I'm thinking like you and your wife .
I live in Brazil and Germany as well and Switzerland when I want to see really close friends , So now I'm wondering..... When and where do I park and lock up this Monster ?!
And then once I come back ... It's back on the road again ?!
It's so so much to think about .
One tire blow out could be 380.00 to 600.00 dollars , and that's just the tire issue !
I don't drink nor do I smoke , but have you ever seen one of these huge monsters catch on fire ???!!
They burn down within " Seconds !! " .
It's so much to think about .
As a Veteran I hoped to see United States more in a positive beautiful way . But due to Trump .... I don't know . I know Europe and other parts better than United States ! Because African Americans are just welcomed as a " Man ! " whose interested in their country and way of life .
Here in America I'm just this " black man " with some money and this really nice Rv , ( That I don't want written on ! , with ignorance by stupid people ) .
Here it's a lot to think about .
But it sure does look fun !
I'm ready .... But everything and I mean ( EVERYTHING ) you said was right on point !
I wish you and your wife a Cool , Relaxing , " Quiet " Retirement .... You deserve it ! 👍
Craig Patterson Jesus where do you live in the U.S? And Trump? It's all an opinion his plans for the u.s seem to be good.

We do have a lot of videos on places we have been that we had flown with the quadcoptor and we usually write about it also in our blog with a link provided in the video text.
And yes, I have my coffee right next to me.
Great video ! Luv your personalities and your coach! I'm thinking of living my life like this in the near future! Of course I can't afford the coach you have but you've given me some great ideas !!! Keep on loving and living !!
Holy moly that’s a nice motor home, you’re cruising in style ...
Friggin Amazing... I've helped raise 23 Suicidal Kids in @risk single-parent families and we always talk about living the dreammmm. It's a tough road with these kids, but it sure seems like you folks are doing exactly that...LIVIN THE DREAM. Great video and you guys made my day. thx, Jeff
How much fun you two seem to behaving-good for you. Your RV is beautiful and your cats are cute.
First time iv seen u guys, nice set up, ultra rich traveling nerds. Ur living my dream
Hi, I really like your home. We are "not retired yet newbies:)." We just bought a 40ft. 2005 Holiday Rambler Endeavor. We really like it. My husband though, would love to have a tag axle (is that what you call the one like yours?)and a bigger motor. Yet, we're having fun when we do get to go:) His vacation always starts in July. He has four weeks a year. So our first long trip will be to Louisiana. To see my family. We're in GA. where I was born but I also lived in New Orleans. My family is there. We can't wait to take it, on a longer trip. Right now the we only go about 2 hours away from home. It's so relaxing just to see and spend the day and night in different places:) Even if it's not far from home. We're raising our 14 year old granddaughter. She loves swimming and meeting other kids at the camps:) She's homeschooled. My husband has four years until retirement so we take off for a day and a half and HAVE FUN!! I have a question. I see you have cats. Now, I can see y'all love them:) Yet, I do kind of feel sorry that they can't go outside. How do y'all and they handle that? Also, are they declawed? I started my cat out to be an inside cat. She cried so badly to go out. I finally just gave in. We lived in the country. I really like your videos and y'all are both so funny.I just recently came upon your station. I cracked up when your wife went hopping across the front of the coach. When you were showing something about your camera or a motion detector. I can't remember. I just remember laughing:)
Hi ! You guys look like you're having a lot of fun with your bus :-) Congrats on making your first year in an RV. I'll be starting my third year come September, wow how time flies. Good luck with everything and I love the improvements you've made on your rig. It's given me some ideas too for customizing The Turtle further. Cheers ! Janis
Cool video, just bought our first Tiffin, 45opp. Can't wait to get traveling more. We spend about 4 months a year in our rv. Always had 5th wheels so this will be different.
Beautiful coach. Wouldn't even need a salesman if I walked by it. Thanks for the information. Good to be prepared.
very clean, very organized, very nice couple, thnx for a video
OMG! On top of being awesome, enthusiastic AND informative, you guys are just SO DARN CUTE!!
Love you two. You all are awesome and what a loving Couple
Very nice. I looking to buy a class A myself. First one to own one in family when I buy it. You make it look fun. We already own a 2017 Polaris XP4 1000 RZR. Thanks for your video!
I love this video, you guys are great, I love your sense of humor most of all!! Keep it up.
Thanks...we try to make it fun.
This is the first time I have veiwed one of your videos and absolutely fantastic entertaining and informative thank you very very much just had a wonderful time.
This was my first time viewing one of your videos....I was really entertained and impressed. My inlaws traveled around the country for 2 & 1/2 years in a fifth wheel. I look forward to viewing more! Safe travels!
I can tell you two are really smart.
Beautiful bus. Awesome folks...
Great video with a great sense of humor. Incredible footage with the drone too. Thanks for sharing!
Of all of the coaches I have had ( 8 ), The allegro Bus was the worse. Maybe I just got a lemon, but I would never buy another.
The bottoms of all drawers were thin and stapled, the same with the overhead cabinets. Within a few months they were sagging in the middle.
The inside wood trims would fall off as I was driving down the road.
The latches on the kitchen drawers were all faulty and the drawers would open while driving.
Both the side drivers shade and the passengers side shades broke within months.
The awning leaked at the roof line from the first time we used it until the last, even though we had tried to have them fix it twice.
Good luck with it. I dumped mine after 6 months.
What has been the best coach that you have owned ?
isawondfl1 which Allegro Bus was it? Please email us we are looking into getting one and like to know some more of what you didn't like and had issues with. Many Thanks
Great video with a sense of humor. :) Thank you both for sharing.
Cute couple. I like the video! I had walked some RV's last year and you have a really nice one. They had doubled in price in a two year period. I like the ideas that you have changed. I will add that to my file. Not keeping the key in the ignition is ingenious.
You guys should do a video showing how you store things for travel.
The Kitchen items like plates , cups and glasses, and securing counter top appliances like the coffee machine.
Also , you have really nicely decorated the coach, how do you store the decorative items as well
+Hugh Hill Hi Hugh...That actually sounds like a good video to do. Especially for new people to RVing. We will get to work on something so Stay Tuned!
Nice cool tips for starters and modifications that are useful, especially, the coffee maker... Happy travelling!!!
Man, I'm really digging your videos David & Brenda. As you know, My wife and I have a 2015 Tiffin Allegro 36LA and you have helped me with my Winegard Antenna signal locator, getting better WIFI, tire pressure monitor, fire extinguisher, and so much more. Thanks for making these videos, they are indeed helping guys like myself. Also, I really like your RV Resort fly overs, I stayed at Portal RV last summer and will return this summer. Doug is a great host!
What a fun video you two produced. Two thumbs up!
simply excellent guys, ill try get more outside of my bubble tks
Thanks for sharing, so happy for you in you adventures!
Excellent video. I subbed and will be a loyal follower. The shower scene was so funny. The video was well scripted and very informative. Thank you for taking the time to do this video.
Great video! Love the aerial photography, and your coach is beautiful :)
You are both great. Safe travels.
Lovely couple love you guys I am watching you for the first time . I really like your bus and how you live.
Tnks for your video and keep it up
you two (and the cats) are just adorable! Oh, and the coach is cool, too.
Thanks to you both, great funny video about your nice lifestyle that we have to copy... Now, I will try it...
I've blown a rear tire at highway speed, as well as blowing a trailer tire. In both cases there was immediate noise and vibration that easily alerted us to the problem.
This was a fun and informativ vid! Loved it!
That is one of the top motorhomes on my list. Nice ride :)
Lol, your wife is a hoot!! When she was jumping, in front the coach.I just hooted:) Y'all are so funny! I love funny. We have a 40 ft. 2004 Holiday Rambler Endeavor. We love ours and are blessed to have it but WOW, that one is stunning. My husband saw the video. After he cracked up laughing, he said "I'd love to have that."
Great video. Maybe you could do a video on what your expenses were the first 6 months and what if anything you changed to be more efficient financially if you needed. Thank you
Wow awesome video. I'd love to experience what you both are doing some day.
First video of yours I have seen. You two are awesome!
Thank you kindly. Now only 200+ more to go. :-) Take care, keep safe.
Gosh. Everything about this video is nice !
I must now watch the year 2, and 3 videos !
Best, rc
Thanks for all the nice comments Rusty.
Oh Gosh, David, Brenda and yourself make a wonderful presentation of information I would like to learn. Always best to learn under pleasant circumstances ! rc
you two are too much!!! so funny, I hope to meet you some day! Jini and Elliot
enjoyed your video. I had to laugh when you asked Alexa for the weather report. mine also gave me a weather report and told me she is from Seattle
Beautiful home, and cats.
Dear Outside,
Thank You, so much for the
very informative review. The most,
best part is the fact that You were
exactly to the point. There was no
him-hawing around just to, just to.
Thank You also for not e-begging.
It sure gets annoying. This is a
wonderful video. Good job.
Sincerely, NAWALT
Great presentation David! Love the "Bells & Whistles" you two have added to your rig! You guys may not be campers, but 12dys in the desert, with a motorhome like this, you kind of think of the word Glampers instead lol!
I like you guys and your video,,,going to do that in about 5 more years...yeeeehaaa can't' wait!!!!
Loved your video -- What a fun Tour! ...thank-you for posting.
I absolutely love your review - Best to date I’ve seen!!!
Thanks for sharing.... hopefully will join you in three more years...,
Thanks David and Brenda for a great informative video!
picked up a few helpful tips for when we plan our setup.. thanks
Great videos. Hope to see you guys on the road some where. I just can't make my mind up on watch one to get!
What a great storyboard,editing and shooting angle. Love it
great job with the videos. one happy and charming couple.
Great job with editing. And thanks for the update!
LOL. I've always liked motor coaches and the tours of the living amenity's for some reason. Yours was hilarious! Shower "revile" busted me up.
Keep on living that happy life.
Being a cat person can I recommend a happy cat fix? Look into a min cat tree with a few levels and a telescoping pole that you can take in and out of the dash area.
For what it's worth, when you run fans exhausting air from components, you create negative air pressure in that cabinet. Some people prefer it, but watch out for extra dust buildup. If you can find a spot where you can input fresh air as well, it'll do you some good.
+Carlos Reyes Hi Carlos. You always want to remove hot air from any electrics area. The creation of negative air pressure is what you want as air pressure will always find a way in. Seeing there are may open large cable holes in the that area, new air coming in is not an issue. The idea is to remove heat, not allow for build up as it was in this case as the air could not be forced out quick enough and heat then climbs. (Background...I am the founder of AVSForum thus having helped build todays home theater experience.)
David Bott I'm thinking from making PCs here. you're just trying to cool the general cabinet area as opposed to the individual electronic component? Eventually I want to build or refurbish these things, and tech is very important to me.
This was great information! I enjoyed your humor too......you guys are awesome! Thank you for the helpful tips
i love the look of this motor coach. ace!!!!
Thanks for this well thought out & informative video.
I was just searching for motor coaches and stumbled upon you guys. Great video...You guys are funny. Completely enjoyed it. :)
Hi David... Freedom Quest Here...
I finally got to chance to watch your video here... Totally Outstanding...
I have learned so much from all of your experiences dealing with RV's and your outings that I am getting more and more excited and plan to go all electric myself.
I also love that techie things... besides your new product CoachProxy, I also love that product you talk to and it answered you back with the weather...
What's the name of that product? Do you have a link?
Looking forward to meeting you both someday soon, somewhere on the road and outside of my bubble :)
You Always Fill My Brain with Knowledge as well as... Put a Smile on My Face!
Love You Guys...

Love how you blend the 2 cats 😉
Really enjoy watching your video. Good effort.
I always figured they would make these coaches as double-deckers with the upper deck holding two bedroom suites. But I’ve never seen such a configuration.
You guys are sweethearts. So pleasant.
Great finale!
David and Brenda, thank you for your video. I thought it had some useful tips. There is one thing David shared, with which I disagree. It is turning the blower fans to blow hot air out of the cabinet instead of blowing outside air into the cabinet.
Air flow will be significantly increased by blowing cooler air into and through the cabinet to be cooled, than if one attempts to blow hot air out of the heated cabinet.
This is due to the density difference between cooler air vs. hotter air. The direction of airflow was purposely done by the engineers. A fixed pitch fan blade will "bite" and move a much greater volume of cool air, than the same fan blowing warmer air. It is a matter of physics.
Hi James, thanks for your thoughts. In this case you need to remove the hot air out of the small cavity the gear is in. Cooler air will always find it's way in due to air pressure vs trying to force air in and the air not being able to get out and actually building heat (Static pressure build due to air not being able to get out;). I did tests and the difference in this case was 137 degrees inside with the air going IN vs 114 with it being drawn out.
And remember, it is not always cool air that would be blown in as if you are running heat, then you would be adding heat into the cavity vs AC air.
I have worked with A/V gear and cooling companies for many years. Getting the hot air out from around gear is alway preferred if you only the the option of one fan. A fan setup with air coming in and out is best. (Which I ended up doing in this case and then removed all that poor gear that was used that was never meant to be in that much heat. Per the manual, max operating temp was 100F and the outside of the cases read 147!!!)

Beautiful coach! I recently purchased a 2012 32 ft. Thor Hurricane. Love it as a newbie RVer but eventually want to upgrade to something bigger and go full time RVing. Unfortunetly, the ol' lady doesnt have the same aspirations...sigh.
You guys are awesome!!
Thanks for sharing ! , love your home ! Happy travels !
Your welcome. So do we. :) We also have the second year update as well as other videos if needed.
You guys are great! Thanks for the video
Great video! It's nice to see a video where the fulltimers have a newer RV. Love that yours is not cluttered too lol. You two are hilarious. Will definitely subscribe. OMG I love Alexa!
Olive W Glad you enjoyed the video and you noted something...Even after living it in for a year, it was not cluttered. :)
That thing is off the hook!
When you discussed the awning LEDs, were you at Bayley's camping resort in Scarborough? I recognize that fountain and the lights on each electrical post. Great video!
I bet the sky out there in the dessert was amazing!
