    Hey there, just a thought for you pup: I bought several of those wire puppy play pens/enclosures and I connect them all together right outside my RV door. So its like having a fenced yard outside your RV. If its raining, you can bungy cord a tarp over the pen area. :-)

    I love the spot at 35:40 where the duck photo-bombs you. If we were out in the woods, that would solve the "What's for dinner?" dilemma.

    We have just recently went full time, we have camped with our kids their entire lives, and I would agree with you, it definitely helped shift us into this lifestyle. I don’t miss our stick and brick home, we felt married to it. I do miss some of my routine of Zumba, bible study groups and going to our own church, but we have managed to do all of those things on the road. There are so many good things about this lifestyle I just can’t see stopping. Travel on

    • @janetpocus5670

      Church and church community, and bible study are my biggest concerns.

    Great video, informative.
    1. Agree absolute waste of money for extended warranty, especially with Tiffin, they fix anytning/everything, even out of warranty.
    2. US postal service, they scan our mail, we're in bricks and sticks, it's free and they just started promoting it.
    3. I agree, don't talk to us while setting up, or hooking up the car, that's where the mistake comes.
    4. Not sure if you know this. You mentioned radio or cell when backing. On the back up camera on the dash, third icon bottom right is volume up, speak in a normal voice at rear of the rig to direct the driver.
    5. Chris Berry, just out side Red Bay, will build you a pull out 30" counter top, it goes just above the three pull out drawers. We have RED 37PA, pull out counter is beautiful, not expensive. He put nice liquor cabinets above fire place, and pantry, in cabinets in hall way that back up to shower.
    I would send pics but dont have FB or IG.
    Be safe, keep your videos coming.
    Todd and Renee

      We did know about the sound through the backup camera but so many people say it is hard to hear anyone over the engine that we never actually tried it. I also heard about the USPS scanning mail but I read about so many problems with the new service that we were holding out on this one. Hopefully you havent had any problems.

    Yes! Break down and set up. That just happened to us. We were there the whole time and no one bothered us to chat which is fine. The minute we began to break down here comes someone to chat and cost us a lost of 30 minutes in our routine…we left later and I forgot to pack up certain things. Yes! Great rule to adopt for our break down and set up. Thank you!

    If you wish, look up K-9 Alert in Gals Police supply. It comes with a Pager and a transmitter. This unit alerts the pager if the vehicle engine stalls for some reason shutting down the air conditioning. Attached to a generator I believe it could work but I am unsure. I’ve been retired from the biz for along time now so I am just throwing info out there.

We have recently purchased a 36 foot National Dolphin and are planning on going full time! Your channel has been a huge help to us and really encouraged us. As well as seeing an awesome dynamic couple that survived the stresses of the military on marriage. We truly are looking forward to pursuing a grand adventure like ya'll. I really like ya'll's content about living frugally and would love to see more of it! Thanks again for the wisdom!

      Thank you for your sacrifice and service and congrats on your new rig!! I am so glad we could help! We did survive 27 years of military life but I have to tell you it wasnt always easy. We had ups and downs just like everyone else but we never gave up. We always put in the work to keep it going and today we are happier than ever. You guys can do it too!

    We have a 30' 5th Wheel and we have added most of the items you mentioned. But one idea we are adding is a checklist and you are right about that. We aren't full time and I would but the other half is not been in the military, so I'm still working on that. I do all the driving! I'm a disabled Veteran (USMC, Navy Corpsman, Army Tractor Trailer) two war veteran, and 70 years young. Thank You For Your Service!

    About getting your hair done on the road two tips: Ask your hair stylist if she has stylist friends around the part of the country you're headed to next. You'll be surprised how small this country actually is. Second, if you have to find someone, call the local beauty supply company. Ask them who they would recommend. I've had to do this twice and and worked out well both times.

    You can be enrolled in the VA healthcare system (and I recommend it even if you don't make a lot of use through them) and maintain your private health care. All it takes to stay active with VA is one yearly visit, and like you said that can be anywhere nationwide. My father and I are both in VA, and they just covered his 44,000 dollar hip replacement surgery 100%. Between VA and Medicare he's set, and I'm not that old yet but they take care of me just fine.

    Great shout out for the NRVIA inspection! My husband took both of their courses to become an inspector and they do a very detailed training! This is a great option also for a job while traveling in your RV. The link you gave for them has details on how to become an inspector as well as getting an inspection!

      @@jocrain83 true...but I have alot of freedom with my seniority at work. (#3 in the state) 7 more years doing a fun job then retire at 20 years. We already take lots of road trips as it is so with God's help I'll make it to 20 years and retire. Not many jobs left that you can retire at 20 years.

You guys should do a detailed video from the first time of trying to navigate (drive) the RV (along with the tow vehicle attached) and how you actually learned or practiced on how to drive it in tight conditions. And, any tips and tricks for learning.

    Mail forwarding: We have used smaller post offices (General Delivery) to send our mail to. I use the USPS website to make sure the Post Office has general delivery and send it to them usually a couple days before we are going to be there. I then sometimes stop by and tell them I have a General Delivery package coming, never had a problem. I made the mistake once and sent to General Delivery in Tucson. It's a huge post office and it took them a while to find it, never again. I only use small ones. Just a second option when needed.

    Happy Anniversary! You made me LOL a couple of times on this one! As I’ve told you before, we were a Navy family also, but we actually did the camping thing with our kids and we all loved it. We started in tents, then went to a pop up camper, then to a 32’ bumper pull and finally a 40’ Diesel Pusher! Hubby retires from his Federal Government job next year and we plan to full time it then. We will probably go with a little smaller rig for just the two of us and your videos are helping me plan in so many ways! Thank you! I’m watching a lot of different TH-camrs and the whole community is so helpful! Can’t wait to catch up with a bunch of you out on the road! God Bless!

    I live your videos my husband and I got a class C with a diesel Mercedes engine. 1 year ago unfortunately my husband had some health issues, I was trying to plan a cross country tip before he ended up having surgery, I was hoping by doing the trip he might agree to sell our house, and be full time Evers. We only have a 25’ but I can drive it just fine. He’s been researching on what vehicle is best to tow and decided we need a Jeep Wrangler. But after watching your video I’m thinking we may not need one at all I guess you go to town and stock up before setting up camp? We have a 6 year old miniature schnauzer that we started taking camping when he was 4 months old. Whenever we are packing up to go he starts crying and running around like crazy because he gets so excited. One year we were camping and our son, daughter-in-law were camping next to us, my son came in early one morning and asked if Zack had been out yet, I said no, so he said we would take him for a walk, when my son got back he said, just about everybody in the loop new zacks name and came out to talk to him. I said yeah. He loves meeting new people and he thinks he’s the campground dog host.

    • @todayissomeday
      @todayissomeday  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      We dont really 'stock up' because we have limited cabinet space. We shop about once a week or so depending on where we are and where we are going. We use our toad a lot but there are plenty of people who dont use them at all.

    Re: Extended Warranties.
    The “Route 66” 5 year extended warranty saved me almost 10k when I had my Class A. It saved me 4k in month 1 and 7k in year 3 of the extended warranty when I had my 5th wheel. It also paid for 20 nights (total) in a 4 star hotel during the repairs of my 5th wheel. Everyone says they’re not worth it…if they’ve never used them. The minute you need them, they’re amazing! I just bought a 2020 Travel Trailer and got the 5 year Route 66 again. If I don’t need it, fine…it’s peace of mind for me. If I do, great…it’s peace of mind. Bottom line…if you’re an electrician/plumber/renovator, etc., you don’t need it. If you’re not, then you do.

      If there is a small leak in the top and doesnt show up for 7 months jayco will not honor their warranty. They told us we did not reseal our roof every 6 months so it was our fault. I inspected the roof often and found no problems and no signs of water damage on the inside ceiling. The leak was on the back of the RV , water was running down the inside of the back wall down under the floor. I didnt find it until I started doing repair work. By then they would not fix it and the dealer wanted to charge me $3000 to fix and $8ooo trailer.

    Thank you for the great video. I've tripped the breaker many times especially during winter. I would forget the little electric heater was on and run the hair dryer or coffee pot. It never works. I'm glad you like Petsmart. One caution on their grooming service, my dog gets real excited around other dogs and she didn't do well so we can't take her back there. Sometimes, you just have to ride out the weather. I currently live in my Class C while in school and last night we had rolling thunderstorms come through for hours. No where to go, but to ride it out. The RV did great, some trees in the surrounding area not so much. Just make sure to bring your awning in before the storms hit! Again, thanks for the great video. Go Army!!! Beat Navy!!!

    When it comes to an extended warranty, it’s like purchasing
    any type of insurance...
    You pay for it with the hope that you will never need to use it,
    but if you ever need it, you want the best and most that you can
    get...!
    It may seem like it’s a lot of money to payout for something that
    you might never use, but if you ever have something major happen,
    one claim can not only cover all of what you’ve paid out and possibly
    more...!
    Thanks for sharing this information with us.
    Have a great day and be blessed.
