As many of you know, we've been casually searching for an RV home base for a couple of years. That search was very low-key until about 8 months ago when we ramped it up and started trying to narrow down our search criteria.
Initially, we really didn't know where or what we wanted. We just looked to see what was out there. Kind of the same way we approached RV shopping: Look at a bunch of options and learn what we didn't know we didn't know. 😊
Now, to build or buy? We were open to both but when we started to ask about build times, we eliminated building. That was going to take way too long for us. So, we started looking at homes with land and no RV restrictions.
The next big hurdle was to find one with accessibility for our ginormous RV! We found so many great options that had everything except that! Rural roads are tough when it comes to towing a 44' toy hauler! But, in one last-ditch effort, before we were leaving one area to search another, Tara found it! It had just come on the market less than an hour before she did. 24 hours later and we had a contract!
Why?
First off, let's get this out of the way: We are NOT going to stop RVing and making RV content on TH-cam.
Those of your who follow us know that Tara has been dealing with the fallout from her Lyme Disease since the day we started living in an RV full time. Our intent was to still see doctors and get treatments on the road. However, the logistics of this have proven to be difficult, and we've never stayed still long enough to give Tara some time and rest to improve her health. We knew we needed to find a home base where we can have access to doctors and take some time out from the RV. Not a LOT, as we still LOVE to travel, see new things, and share them on our channel.
What About Our Content?
When we started creating RV content, we had no idea it would turn into something we could do full-time. We absolutely LOVE creating videos about RV Life and we have no plans to stop! In fact, having a home base with an RV pad is going to allow us to be more deliberate about how we plan and create our how-to content.
The logistics of installing a complete solar/inverter system while traveling while moving every 10-14 days is CRAZY! Now, for projects like that, we can time them to do the work at the cabin. Additionally, now that we have a place to store things, we expect to broaden the scope of our how-to videos to include things too difficult to take with us on the road. External generators, portable solar, etc. It's also going to allow us to explore (and share) a new part of RV Life (with a home base). 😀
Overall, we feel this is going to be a GREAT move for us and our content going forward!

Retired Navy Seals posted around the property do wonders to discourage trespassing... Also an excavator to dig a big hole... For trees and stuff.
Emphasis on the “STUFF” 😎🤪
Sounds like a field trip to assist JD, I'm game lol
I hear where we are now that there might be a rubbish hole or two long ago filled ! LoL ! We have a couple great deterrents, first is elevation and the second is the copperhead’s and timber rattlers!!!!!
Ex Navy ( Not Seal ) but we will be ok ! They will do good with camera’s and a prox alarm or two , but the bears will wake you up from time to time ....
Post hole digger works better. A 24” auger is about right. 12’ deep is good.
Ohhhb thank goodness and yes you got to be safe for yourself so enjoy your new journey
I'd LOVE to see a video outlining the RV pad construction. Especially if it'll be a full hook up pad. Enjoy your new place!
I'm so happy for ya'll and I think it's so sad that people think they have to hunt you down. Sometimes folks just want some "me time" to relax and recharge. I hope and pray that you will have the privacy you deserve and need. I look forward to seeing the work that you do on your place because that's interesting to see and watch. Take care and be careful .
Other RVs are doing this odd couple bought a campground I'm Alabama. Congratulations
I still think a few sprinkles of cabin life would be fun. And watching Chad do manual labor of fixing it up would be fun to watch too!!! 😂🤣
WELCOME HOME !!! Everybody needs a place to call home not just in a RV. Tara is right , when you're sick sometimes you just want to be left alone and that you know is hard in a RV next to another RV. So, I'm very happy for you both. From what I can see , it's beautiful and as time goes by you'll show us more. I'm just happy for you. Thanks for sharing your news.
Glad you staying safe and congratulations on your new log cabin home base.
I would love to see the cabin also, just love watching you two whatever you do.
So happy for you two! Having a home base for projects, treatments and family is going to be worth it. Excited to see what’s to come!
Congratulations! On your new home base. Be many years of enjoyment and blessings. 👏👏
Im glad to hear y'all arent going to stop with the traveling. Out of all the rv channels i got to say the info and just all around people to watch and listen to you two are the best of the best. Y
May your future travels be filled with good times and good friends thank you for all your advice and sharing your exprince's with us
Love the cabin! So happy for you guys!! Enjoy every moment! Blessings and healing prayers!!🙏🏼❤️
Happy for you guys! I don’t mind homestead stuff. Love the homestead videos that JD of BTBRV has been putting out. His videos have given me many ideas of the things I want for my future home.
Awesome, congrats, I love that cabin especially the porch.
Happy for both of you!!! It's always good to come back at home after a while on the road.
Congratulations! So excited for both of you. (And Daisey) Exciting times.
I bet Daisy is happy about the cabin, I would love to see content on the cabin along with your RV stuff.
Congratulations on your new cabin!! It’s a beautiful area, and very happy for you both!!
Congratulations to you both on your new cabin! We love your videos and have found the information you share with us very helpful.
Congrats on the awesome cabin home. Don't worry about your many fans worried you won't be traveling as much. Your health and well-being always comes first and we all need a place to call home. All the best!
Congrats, nice to have a home base with sites even more sweet!
I’m so happy for you two hope all goes well and keep them videos coming love watching them and learning from them so congratulations on your new home
Congratulations guys on the beautiful cabin. Can't wait to see more content from your new home base.
It’s always great to travel to different destinations for a few weeks, but wonderful to return to a home base.
Love to watch you guys fix up your cabin!
I love watching reno videos, and watching Chad do renos would be a fun time
Love the clips. Goonies. Lol a hole base is looking like a necessity.
God bless you both and your puppy.
Fantastic! So happy for you three. Best wishes for a successful integration of your new home into your lives. Prayers that you are able to make it “your” home and it brings you the joy and peace your looking for, for years to come. 🙏 Congratulations 🍾🎉🎈
So happy for you guys! I’m sure you’ll be back on the road soon! Tara, hope you are feeling better! ❤️❤️
That is great news, you two have given so much of your time and effort helping people. I have enjoyed it and learned alot and looking forward to more. You deserve anything that you want, enjoy it and we all will enjoy it with you. Stay safe.
CONGRATS ON YOUR SECOND NEW HOME! RV #1 Home of course! 👏👏
As long as you have been on the road, I think this is a good choice for you. Always great to have a home base.
This is our ultimate dream. Love that you did this. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us.
Congrats guys on the new home base, it looks so homey!!!🤗

Happy for you guys looks like an Awesome setup. Congratulations
CONGRATS!! Looks like a great place to hang your hats when you need a break from the road! I'm excited to see what you've done to the place in future videos!
Congrats on the new property I hope you enjoy it and doing all the projects that will have to be done.
So happy for you all. A home base will be awesome. Someday,hopefully, I will have a truck and fifth. Congrats.
Bless your heart! Sorry about your health. Take care! Happy for your new digs it’s beautiful!!
HELL YES!! So glad to see this. This is a brilliant decision and what a beautiful place!
Now you have the best of both worlds!! So happy for you both. Enjoy your adventures. Get some rest too and enjoy your new cabin.
Awesome, great video and beautiful place. Best of luck and keep us all posted with all your exciting projects, both cabin and RV.
Thanks for sharing! I think most full-time RVers would like to get a home-base like that eventually and you provide some good insights.
Congrats on your new cabin. Happy for you guys.
So glad you two found a place to recharge. We'd love to see videos of setting up a new RV site as we want to do that also. Give Daisy a hug for us.
Congrats on your new vacation home! Very exciting news! Sounds like a perfect plan
We watch your channel for the two of you and Daisy, as well as adventures with the RV and Lucille. I for one would love to see projects around the cabin! Just more ways to enjoy your adventures!
Wow 🤩. All that time looking really paid off. It’s beautiful. Perfect cabin ❤️
Congratulations! So happy for you guys. I'd love to see how your new cabin progresses .
I am very hay for you two. I've been wanting the exact same thing for a couple of years. Maybe one day. I'm thankful for you two :)
I DEFINITELY want to see the cabin life stuff. Honestly, I haven't been watching as much of travel/RV videos and I enjoy watching RVers buying and living on their own property/house. I enjoy watching the transition. I love your channel and I am excited to see your new home adventures. 💖
So happy for you both!!
Congrats!
We've traveled a couple months at a time for quite a few years now, but we've also found we really enjoyed coming home to relax and recoup and regroup. An energy boost so to speak.
Congrats 👏 ! Just take your time and enjoy the process of fixing your new old homes. That's how we do it so we can keep 😃 .
Congratulations folks on the purchase of your new property ☺️…..best of both worlds and you can take care of what is needed to be taken cared of in your personal lives ☺️…. Love the channel and have been following you folks for yrs …enjoy ….Daisy approved by the wagging of her tail ☺️
Love the new cabin! Can't wait to start our new RV life. Just picked up our new 42' fifth wheel toy hauler on Monday. Heading to our home base property in the NC mountains Oct 1. Hope to see you on the road someplace and ride our motorcycles together. We've learned so much from you guys. And the Amazon boxes just keep on coming!
I would like to see some cabin upgrades/projects. I like how detailed Chad is on explaining why he went with a product and how it work.
I am so happy for you guys!
Glad ya did it, seems a lot of folks after awhile want a “home base”. Can’t blame anyone. That’s why we have our ranch and plenty of land with hookups for the motorhome. We come and go as we please and it works perfectly. I watched your first video on the cabin but never would have recognized where it was. Glad someone pointed it out to ya. Best wishes to ya and will be watching when you put something out in the future.
Good...started to worry a bit. Glad you two got this. Everyone needs a spot to stop on once in a while. Looks supper-nice. Congrats!
Still happy for the two of you for several reasons. This gives you a home base to be able to do some of the other projects that you've wanted to do, and most importantly because this will give Tara a "quiet place" to be able to recover at her own pace and not have to worry about having to move to a different location. The bonus of being closer to family is just that - a huge bonus that you both deserve. The nice thing about a home base is that you can go on the road for however long you want, knowing that you now have this in your back pocket and can return there and not sweat it! Kind of the best of both words in my book.
Dang! Very happy for you guys! Godspeed.
Tara is looking great, healthy, tonight! ❤️. So glad you had to repost so we can watch the revisions! Love ya’ll!
I'm happy for you both!! The property is GORGEOUS!! Having a home base makes perfect sense especially considering Tara's health. Y'all are such public figures now that having any real privacy on the road is a challenge. Thank you so much for sharing your journey and giving us great trip. Looking forward to your new chapter!! Congratulations to you both!!
Fantastic. Good luck and have fun!
👍 Good luck with everything! Looking forward to seeing what is involved adding RV full hookups. A cabin with a few RV sites is a wish list item for me.
Congratulations you guys buying property is always a sound investment. Good luck and enjoy the mountain air!
Well done you two!!
Tara, you really need PEACE and self care! Glad you will get the break you both need!
Blessings to you both!
(GO NAVY)
Congratulations. The pictures of the cabin that you show and surrounding look fantastic.
We didn't even notice. We had a general idea just from what your past videos have showed. What you like and like to do. Glad you got it taken care of. Stay safe and safe travels..hope to see you on these rv streets..
Congrats! What a beautiful place. I for one would love to see DIY on the cabin. Like Tara said, it’s a part of your story.
Wishing you lots of rest and relaxation. Congratulations on your property.
Congratulations 🎊 and welcome home 🏡 God bless you both!!!!!
Best Wishes to you both. Property and home look beautiful and seems well suited to you.
We love watching your videos and thank you for doing such an excellent job in giving helpful details and tips specifically regarding the "Narrows and Angel's Landing." Those hikes are on our newbie list. Also, so glad you found more of a balance with having a home base and the best of luck to you both!
Beautiful new digs. Congratulations!
Congratulations on the new home. We watch because we enjoy your story ....when & where ever you are. Enjoy your new adventure. Have a blessed week 💖 🌟
Love everything you guys do. Love to see your improvement on your property and on the Rv. Because it's part of your life. Thanks for sharing. Hope it all goes well. Especially in your health Tara. 😊❤️🙏
Happy for you both. I would like to see updates on the cabin as well as RV and travel. I'm most interested in seeing your opinions on security.
I would love to hear about your health regimen since you are dealing with some health concerns. (praying for you) Happy that you got a "home-base" and still have the liberty to travel as you love as well. I will enjoy your how-to videos, cabin videos, travel videos, RV stuff, or whatever. When you watch often you become like family. You guys seem to do it right.
So glad you found a place to rest and get the medical care you need, when you need it. And yes, having a place to work on major projects, makes it so much easier to do. Have fun and hope to see the 3 of you, yes I included Daisy in that, she is family. Enjoy your time.
Congratulations! We recently moved into my childhood home that we rented out for 10 years after I inherited it (I haven't lived in this house in 50 years)! But, we were full-time almost 4 years and recently had some renter issues & medical issues, so now we have a home base & will continue to travel whenever we can. Always look forward to your videos!
Congrats!!! That's awesome, great home base!
Congratulations on your home base. Love that you are putting extra RV Pads for family and friends. Be careful with Chiggers. We have been bitten one time too many in Georgia. Stay Safe.
Congrats on the new place! We love the Smoky's
Congrats on your base. I've been watching your channel for a while now and have enjoyed all the episodes. Looking forward to see what you're up to next.
Definitely show the cabin stuff & making it RV Friendly. I have friend that has 4 RV sites with full hooks up on his property that I visit all yearly. It is way cool for them and for us too. We get to meet others that visit the location too and make new friends. So I think cabin content and while fixing up your home for RV Life is something many others want to know more about.
We are very happy & pleased for you both. Health and Family should be a priority! Take Care of yourselves and enjoy your next chapter!
Great episode, I'm happy for you both in finding your new Basecamp. The property looks absolutely beautiful and I wish you both the best of luck with it. 👍
Bring on the videos that include cabin life. It’s all part of your story.
Very excited for you to now have a home base to relax and get a break from traveling. Congratulations 🎉
Look forward to seeing both sides of your RV life.
I think everyone needs a place to unwind, love the cabin!! I would also love to see diy projects, I follow alot of people that do diy projects 😀 it's so interesting 😀 😊 you've got to think of your health and take care of yourself!! Thank you for letting us into your lives ❤❤😍😍
So happy for you all, Daisy will love the land to run and play, just watch out the squirrels might want to play.
Congrats on the new Cabin...it looks amazing!
Chad & Tara, ah, the mystery solved. I thought I saw a notification of a new home base & when I looked a few hours, it was gone. Now, I see your great slice of heaven. Very exciting for you both. You may find you want to spend more time than you think.
We have a home in the Phoenix area for the winter months, and a summer home in the AZ White Mountains 3.5 hours away. I bring our fifth wheel between locales when going for the season. This allows us to take trips as we desire. I like being a “some-timer RV’er”.
Very exciting for you. Congrats friends.
Congratulations on the cabin. Can't wait to see what you do to the cabin and the property.
Agreed!
Chad, I have a great cabin chinking guy for you!
So happy for you two, glad you made the change since the first one did give too much information and you need your privacy. I would love to hear more from you both on how you found the land, what steps you went through looking, websites or if you called a realtor, etc. One day we hope to do the same, have a home base for in between. I know you have to make sure you can park your rig, you mentioned adding more setups for friends rigs, what's the process to do that? Did you have to change your domicile or no? Lot's of things you can share about the in/outs of adding a home base without giving away where yours is. Best of luck to you both!!
Congratulations on buying a cute cabin & property! I think having a home base is a good idea! As you said having a place of your own to go to when it's time to take care of medical needs is reassuring. Plus the way things went with the pandemic made many of us realize while we love traveling having a place to go is important!
