- We can do this anymore, living in a tent. It can be very exhausting. We decided to get an Air bnb in New York.

All things in balance. Freedom to roam is great. So is having a place to call "home".
It was so nice to meet you in Rochester New York. I still can't believe that you stayed right next door to me in the airbnb. Safe travels and do what makes you happy.
Just like people in houses take breaks in tents, y'all take breaks in houses! Excited to continue seeing your adventures. (And totally love the truck camper for you guys, they do look so spacious!)
We need breaks and you both have been super active and engaging. I said to my husband Chris, could I, could you set up and take down every few days? You are terrific. Cody we loved every time you said, “uptown high rent.” We will be there for you. Leslie and Chris, Saint Helena, CA
I’ve been wondering when burn-out would set in, but then ALL of us face burn-out. That’s why we take vacations, go for long walks, listen to music that soothes us or take time to just breathe. Burn-out happens and, while the image on this video has a rather hopeless air about it, one day at a time. The sun will set tonight and rise tomorrow, even still.
Very well put!!
I was the one that posted on your community fb page about getting the new version of your tent. I really appreciate you discussing the windows, pockets, taping etc! It helps us understand a lot!
I appreciate your realness and honesty. I’ll be praying for direction and open doors to what the Lord has next for you! Love y’all and take care ❤
No matter what you camp in, live in... We will be there with you sharing as long as you keep going. We all love you two. ❤️🖐️😊‼️
Heck yea, we will. Always watching and supporting.
🤗🤗🤗 such big hugs guys! First off, thank you, thank you for being genuine!!
You both are in my prayers for peace and direction. Second, press into Him for the guidance you both need in the next phase and may His blessings pour over you!
Supporting you always! ❤
Been a tent camper most my life. Grandparents had a campsite up in the Poconos in PA every weekend & vacations. When my grandchildren came along I started taking them emmediatly to learn. I went from tent to pop-up tent. Got a area to stand up and dress. Cooking area, sink, and 2 double beds on either side . We go to campsites here in Virginia. Usually it cost tent site $45. 00 a weekend. They have bathhouse, laundromat, country store incase u need something, all kinds of outside activities, and u can rent a golf cart for the day if you aren't able to walk the hiking trail, ponds to fish, and beautiful sites to b in even larger rigs.
I’ve been full-time for six years in a travel trailer I don’t know how you been in a tent as long as you have. I used to tent camp and that’s what prompted me to buy my first travel trailer I was really tired of sleeping on the ground per se and dealing with teardown set up and tear down. I think he would be making a wise decision to get a hard sided camper so much easier for travel and a lot safer overall. Wishing you lots of luck.❤
Found your channel because the Airbnb you chose was the one right next to my mother's house, who just happens to be a subscriber to your channel.
After she recognized you and talked to you, she was super excited and called me to tell me all about how she met you two, and how nice you both were. Thanks for being super cool. You totally made her entire week.
Hope you enjoyed The Roc, and hope you're enjoying NY.
So glad you took some time off to get some rest! I don’t even know how y’all do what you do. That’s a LOT of set up and tear down that could be spent doing your kayak camping and cold camping 🥶 Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you. We will be right there with you two!! AND, don’t ever feel bad about grabbing an air b&b or motel for as long as you need. It’s kind of like a vacation from your “normal life “, which who DOESNT need a break from! Love you guys 🥰💜
I admire how long you have done tent camping this far. For all the effort it takes to set up and break it down. I started tent camping as a single mom when my son started boy scouts in second grade. scouts camped every other weekend. later when I got married , I even camped with scouts in a tent in a sleeping bag on the ground at 7 months pregnant with my second son with my husband and 1st son. Our family vacations were even tent camping. 9 days long trips. we had our tent, a screen tent over picnic table and a whole outdoor kitchen set up. We used Dutch oven a lot over fire pits. Then my third son came along and we still tent camped, even at a campground that what felt like a hurricane went thru at night. we had a blow up mattress and cots by this point and the blow up mattress was hovering above ground a couple inches. it broke poles off our tent and tore up our screen house. Believe it or not we still tent camped. lol. Then when my youngest son turned about 7 years old we turned to cabins, either rustic(no bathroom or kitchen) or full small house like cabins. I am now 52 years old and need 2 knee replacements. I still love the thought of tent camping and do miss it. But cabins are easier on me now. I think it was a span of about 17 years tent camping between scouts and family vacations. my first born is now 33 years old.
Again I admire you and give you props for all the traveling plus tent camping. Good luck in your decision making about your future camping choices. Stay safe and safe travels!
Honestly don’t know how you do it all, all the time! If you just want to sit reading a book and order from NcDonalds you’ve got my vote! I’ll watch if you do it. Come on guys, you do it all! You do what the
rest of us aspire to. You have earned not to do whatever you want. Take a breath, we will be here.
We have our tent but also a camper shell on our Tundra 6' bed. Back seats in the cab roll up for another sleep space and the front seats recline down for a comfy place to chill or sleep. Got a tarp to put over it all as well. We looked at every RVish thing imaginable and decided to keep things simple. Tons of cool TH-cam vids re build outs for truck camping.
As I've gotten older, I've realized that tent camping is still fun, but sometimes...I want...a/c. -gasp- I know, the humanity. But sometimes, a few creatures comforts isn't bad. Doesn't mean you gotta go out and grab a 32 ft RV. But maybe something more secure, a little more comfy, as well as still versatile enough to keep the lifestyle you live. I 100% support whatever y'all decide. Just keep on keeping on . Love y'all.
Thank you so much for being honest about living in a tent, it’s ups and downs; people need to know the reality of being a nomad
Very interesting analysis and comparison of camping options.
I know this is boring, but I like an uncrowded campground with a host. Less likely to get robbed. You have an authority to call on if there are unruly campers. You can tell the host you're going to be gone a while so keep an eye on our stuff
Campground hosts are underappreciated. I've met some really great ones - that's the majority of them.
Change can be good. I struggle with change, but I do know it can be a good thing sometimes. I look forward to seeing what y'all do from here. Always supportive of you! 🙃
You guys need to add the Thanks Button on here so people can donate to you guys for a new vehicle and camper 😉
Persevere… Each day you wake wherever you are… You are miracles… You are the producers of your film for that day… And I don’t mean TH-cam. I mean life. We love who you are because you do what you do. You journey. That is living.
Tent camping would work if y’all stayed at least a week or two at each location while thoroughly exploring new areas. Burnout was bound to happen with constant moving and all that setup. Have y’all considered a heavy duty tow behind camping trailer or possibly building out a U-Haul truck or something similar? Even a Class A or Class C would feel more like a home. One can usually get a great deal on a secondhand unit especially if buying directly from original owner. I’ve been full-time rv’ing now 23 years in a Class A and can’t imagine giving up my sense of freedom even at 70 yrs old. 🚌
I could only imagine!! We go can't once a year and I'm tired so how you too do it all the time . I know I couldn't. I'm here for you too no matter what . I love you too stay strong. I will pray you find something you both love. God bless you Cody and Kelly. ❤️❤️
I’m glad you’re not throwing in the towel! I love watching your adventures. Don’t care if it’s a tent or something else. 💝
I often say that vacationing is work. Especiallly roughing it. Glad you are trying it though. Nice to watch Kellie cook.
I love how REAL you both are. This is why I watch.. not always sunshine and rainbows; but never pessimists.
I was just thinking the other day that your vehicle must be up there in miles. Burnout is real. Take your time. Change is good. Thanks for being real.
Wish you both the best in whatever you decide. I know I will still be watching.🙏🤗❤️
R&R is so important! TH-cam is much more demanding than a lot of people realize and I'm so glad y'all took a few days off. I can more full time TH-camr's switching to a 'seasons' upload schedule which naturally adds in breaks and something to look forward to. Just like us corporate jockeys looking forward to vacation! Cool looking camper shell by the way. I think y'all would love that!
Love you two for being human and honest. we all get burned out, thats the love of adventure. We get backup and hit it again.
Look how many months you have been out there, fantastic, and the weather conditions you lived thru 👏 ithink you have your head on right, know one is going to condemn you for the ideas you have, and if so ignore them they can't do this there just eveny. Your life is yours best wishes ✨ for what ever you do, I have watch from beginning ,
Y'all have been SO busy all summer (really all year) - I can't imagine doing all the work you guys obviously put into this and not take breaks. Feel good about your time in the airbnb. You deserve it!
We just wanted to say how much we love your channel. The adventures you go on inspire us. We agree with all the previous posts encouraging you two and hope you're feeling little refreshed. We also understand the struggles with burnout and needing to adjust/change our camping style. The Dowell family loves Dome Life! Thanks for sharing and we will pray for you as you go forward.
We remember burn out. I know you have a truck camper now. We purchased Clam 12 x 12 ft. Pop up easy set up. Traveled the country with it. Kept everything in our 2017 Dodge Caravan with seats that folded in the floor.
Enjoy your break from on the road. Take care. You know what’s right for you. God Bless.
We love watching yalls adventures! Really like the truck and camper combo. New chapter. New way of living. Fun and exciting!
I know you will figure it out. Part of life being an adventure is being unsure. We've been at it for 44 married years. And it never stops being the best thing! Having the best friend you've ever had having your back every single day, it never gets better than that! You two have that too.
You sound like new parents debating on a minivan “we just want to look” haha. But for reals, I appreciate your honesty and watching your journey.
I missed your live show. I agree with you all 100% about getting a truck and truck bed camper.
Thank you for being pillars of positivity! You two are inspirations. I got hooked when I saw you using the Coleman Oven. I became skittish when your trailer was stolen. I am grateful for your travels and your generosity in showing America to the world.
Thank you for sharing your highs and lows. My husband and I have been fulltime RVing for over 2 years now. Today in a small town someone got into the bed of our truck and stole our generator out of it. One of the things that’s helping us remembering how you guys handled it when your trailer was stolen. So know that your lows can help encourage others. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures.
I have been a camper on and off for years. Tent, RV. RVs even brand new can have problems. But the the problems cost a lot more and its cheaper to camp. Just upgrade your tent camping supplies as you go and take a break once in a while. That’s my two cents have a great life❤️❤️😘 I’m a 71 year old women and now camp in the backyard. My husband sleeps in the house. I cook, campfire, and have a portable pottie. I love it. Camp on and enjoy yourself.
I wished I knew y'all were in Rochester NY. I live about 15 minutes south of there. I used to be stationed in Arkansas and would of liked to have met you both. I don't meet anyone from back home. If y'all come back this way I would like to meet y'all and say hi. Have a safe trip.
I really enjoyed this one, as I do all of them. But it’s nice to see you guys just kind of open up and have a little bit of a different style vlog. I also would love to see kayak camping and backpacking! Looking forward to the future! I’ve enjoyed watching you guys on the journey.
You guys just be happy! My wife and I watch you religiously and we are in our mid sixties. We've been camping and exploring vicariously through yall. From Kelly's cooking to Cody's videos, we just love your authenticity. Yall stay safe. :)
I am excited to see what you decide to do. Love your videos and you two are just the cutest couple. I am 75 and I wish my husband and I would have done what you are doing when we were young. You are making so many memories together.
Can't wait to see what you guys get into next! Love following your adventures. I wish nothing but good things for you both :)
👏🏽👏🏽 finally yes ! Love truck campers some even have slides! Just do it you will be so much happier! You’ll still be Dome Life because a dome is any domain not just a tent.
we did the whole tent thing too, traveling through the Smokies etc......set up for a night than take down, set up and down........gets to you! AND like you said, it takes time. Sounds like a truck trailer, would work best for you. You can unload it and drive off, or just leave it on the truck. Perhaps for more room, look at truck campers with slide outs, gives you more room etc.......just make sure that you can get around the inside with the slide outs IN. Looking forward to your next adventures!
I understand PTSD! No matter how you go about your journey, I will come along with you guys! I too miss you kayak camping! Love you guys and your content!
It is wonderful that you can know this about yourselves and just take a step back and punt. Still love all you guys do no matter where you are I love watching you. 🥰🥰🥰
It will be exciting to see what your future holds. 🤗
Good you take a break when you need it. Exciting to looking at new ways of doing what you love. All the best to you.
Good choice to chill. You guys work hard!
I know it must be hard work but you two make it look so easy. There are a lot of great travel trailers out there designed with boondocking in mind. Whatever you two decide to do I'll be watching as long as your making videos.
I enjoy watching the adventures. you guys don’t stay in one place long enough to enjoy it….seems to always be on a go. That’s when the burnout kicks in. Rv or tent, we enjoy the different scenery and hiking trails y’all share.
I wish y’all nothing but the best and I am sure y’all will find just what you’re looking for when the time comes. Coming from someone who was born and raised in upstate NY just know the places to camp will be closing and soon snow will be falling and it will be bitter cold you won’t want to be in a tent. Just a heads up. Best of wishes. You both are awesome. 🤘🏻💝
Whatever you all decide is all good. You are kind enough to open your lives up and take us with you. You have to be comfortable and safe at all times. I am a Dome 'Lifer" regardless. Sending prayers and good vibes your way.
❤️🏞️🏕️🌄⛰️❤️
Thank ya'll for sharing your adventures with us! I wish I had the energy you two have!
I have friends who have used a truck bed camper for horse camping for years. They love theirs and can pull the horse trailer behind it. Ya'll could still pull your trailer behind it for storage. Word of advice though...buy at least a 3/4 ton truck. You can never have too much truck!!! Something else to consider is to do your research on how much weight is on the truck...remember that ALL of the weight is sitting on the truck, whereas with a fifth wheel or bumper pull most of the weight is sitting on the trailer's axles and the truck is pulling it rather than carrying it. I ruined a 1/2 ton Ram pulling my horses in a bumper pull trailer before I finally found a good used F250 Diesel and gooseneck horse trailer. I got better gas mileage with the bigger truck and there was so little strain on the truck...it hauled beautifully. Don't be afraid to look "outside the box" and check out horse trailers with living quarters. They are sturdier and much better made than most campers. You can use the horse hauling part for storage, bicycles, etc.
You are going to LOVE the Adirondacks...so beautiful, but different than the Rockies. Ya'll are going to need at least a couple of weeks for just the Adirondacks. A good place to start is Blue Mountain Lake to visit the Museum and learn about the Adirondacks/geology/history/culture. Definitely going to need those kayaks because there are gorgeous lakes everywhere!!! I cannot wait to see your upcoming videos!
Ooooo, and Saratoga Springs it one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited. Reminds me of Hot Springs, but much grander. If the race track is still open, that is a must do! SPAC has an outdoor/amphitheater for live concerts. Tomorrow September, 18, Willie Nelson will be performing there!
Be sure to check out pizza places and OMG...the cheese shops!!! Vermont cheddar is AMAZING! Hoping while you are in that area, ya'll can see the White Mountains, Green Mountains and Berkshire Mountains as well. Must see Vermont, Massachusetts/Berkshire Mountains, Conneticut and Algonquin, Maine!
On your way back South you may want to check out the Poconos and Allegheny mountains in Pennsylvania. From there, it is a beautiful Interstate Drive thru Virginia down to the Smokey Mountains.
We have been FT for two years. Your channel encouraged us to dome life it several places (Hawaii surprise trip for my sis and Hubs dome lifed it to Yosemite last month). Anyway... we love the freedom of our Jeep and 1970ESP popup! Can't wait to see what you guys end up enjoying!
~ Soot 'n Boots ~
Burn out is real! I feel for you. I retired from teaching this year at age 55 after 25 years of teaching. Most teachers retire at 60 or 61. I couldn’t do it. Your tent burn out is something I felt too. As I got older tent camping got rough on my body. I bought an old Xfinity service van and built it into my weekend camper. - Holiday Tinn
Wow!! What an exciting stage for change in your life. Whatever you decide will bring great adventures!
I look forward to whatever your next venture will be!
I would absolutely need a break in an AirBnB every few months as many times y’all put up and take that tent down.. LoL Y’all’s adventures are the best tho! Love following y’all!😊
Can’t wait to see more of the thought process on what’s next after the tent.😊
Your videos and others inspired us to get a slide in truck camper. We even stayed in some of your favorite campsites in the Ouachita's and Ozarks! We purchased a 2021 Palomino SS550 pop up slide in camper to give us less wind resistance and clearance down forest highway roads. We highly recommend this type of vehicle and camper combination. We chose the SS 550 because it fit the 1/2 ton Ford F150 we owned. We just get in and go!
Burn out happens! We used to live in a van and it was a lot of work. We switched to a small travel trailer and it made life so much easier. Having your own shower inside is a game changer. Have you looked into the Black Series off roading campers or Four Wheeler truck campers? Both incredibly built campers. Check them out!
But so pricy... Those are my dream campers, but... Oh so pricy.
If you’re in the high peaks area of the Adirondacks, some recommendations. Food: Ice Jam Inn, Old Mountain Coffee, and Enuf. Fishing: on the East or West branch of the Ausable or Bouquet River. Mountain biking in Wilmington.
I can see y’all are ready and excited for the next phase of your lifestyle. Here’s hoping you find the perfect balance of comfort and functionality for your needs!
I've enjoyed your videos since the beginning. I tent camped for many years--only as a vacation. Eventually it seemed like so much hard work and that I needed a vacation from my vacation! You guys are awesome and I can't wait to follow you on whatever journey you take! Oh, and I love Kelly's cooking segments!
You guys are awesome and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes you!😃
I am glad you both are realistic about the drawbacks of continuing to camp as you do. I know you love to go to new places and experience the areas you visit but it is difficult if you have to move and locate a new camping spot every couple of days. So thumbs up to considering a change. I know between the two of you, you will take the needed time to feel out the best option for your future comfort, happiness and well being.
Welcome to Rome,NY and Lake Delta. My hometown!
Hey everyone needs a vacation. Glad you had the chance to take a break. As far as the trailer/camper...We've been tent campers forever and going through the same thought process. Just trying to figure out what we want. Good luck! Looking forward to the next adventure.
Hey Kellie and Cody. As y'all know we've been following you guys for almost three years. We loved your vlog when you where weekend warriors like the rest of us, we love it now that you are fulltime, and hope to follow you whatever your next adventure is. You guys inspired us to buy a tent and get back into camping. However, we glamp more that camp, so about a year ago we just got tired of all the setup and bought a tiny camper. As to your next habitat; one thought would be to get a truck with a topper to carry all your gear and actually sleep in the NoBo trailer. That would greatly reduce your setup time while still letting you bring all the toys.
I think you are both awesome ! So glad ☺ you can nuture yourselves & take time off to redirect as needed. Blessings to you both in your future travels .
I have been considering the truck camper for longer trips. I always tell people who go tent camping for the first time….it’s work with some relaxation. I just purchased a tent for my pickup truck. Great for quick getaway weekend trips. Love you guys and looking forward to whatever path you take 🙏🏼💚💚
For me, I would stay at least 5-14 days and not rush, unless the campground is not that great, just because the driving alone would wear me out. It's okay to make changes. You are adapting to your situations and know what you need to make your camping more functional and enjoyable.
I totally get it. You’re evolving. That’s part of it. Make adjustments and keep adventuring.
I believe it, no way I could tear down camp all the time like y'all do. I bought a roof tent, though it might not take as long to deploy, I think putting it back under the cover will get some time getting used to.
I agree with lots of the other comments. Burn out is natural and inevitable. Glad you’re considering alternatives that will permit a wider range of experiences. Keep posting your videos so we can keep up with what you’re doing and where you’re going.
I've been following your journey for some time now. Clearly you'll both will work thru this obstacle and move forward in a positive flow!!! The truck camper is a win win. This time hook yourself up with a real time tracking device. It sends data to your cell. I'd be doing the truck camper, but with my bad back, I can't climb above the cab. I can't wait to see how this turns out!!! Keep showing your cooking skills and meal ideas. Be safe, stay healthy, and enjoy yourselves to the max. 💙
Our friends bought a truck camper and they absolutely love it. They are a lot roomier then I thought they would be. They have plenty of storage and are very happy they bought it. Just do what’s right for you.
Good luck yall are amazing!
We were just in New York State back in May. We loved it. Going back next summer. The weather was perfect. Unfortunately it was raining on our second day of the Adirondacks. We bought our camper up there. It is a Sunline. The company was based in Pennsylvania and went out of business in 2008. I believe they began making truck campers. I think that a truck camper would be great for a couple. I am excited for you guys.
Hey guys, I'm glad you're thinking about a truck camper. Honestly given what you do and how often you camp (and the age of the Hummer), I think it would be ideal. Get a lifted truck so you can get where you want to go off road, 4x4, diesel so you don't have to worry about towing. Personally I would go with a used Ford over anything new, but that's just me. I think what you're saying makes a whole lot of sense and I don't blame you for looking to go for a camper rather than a tent. Just my thoughts, I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever you do.
I love watching you two, and wish we could do what you two are doing. We have a small camper and a backpacking tent. Let me tell you a lot of times the tent is easier. I get how your feeling, we are starting to feel that way in our lives right now. I hope what ever you choose, a camper or tent, you continue doing Dome Life. You do a very professional show here on TH-cam.
Greetings from England you guys are awesome and I think your making the right decision, I've got a tiny Berlingo mpv and used a tent for extra space but in my 70s setting up the tent and worrying about the weather etc. was so tiring, I so miss my proper campervan , (lost the one in the picture to engine fire),no setting up, just raise the roof and ready to camp.All the best guys , will follow in your journey to next mobile abode God bless .
I think you would love a truck camper. We have an old one- when they still used wood, and we love it. No muss, no fuss. You can pull in, stay overnight with only one task- balancing the wheels so you are extra comfy. I do miss the fresher air of tent camping, but that is easily done if you are going to be in a place a little longer. Just throw your tent in the back seat of your truck. Wishing you two all the best. Looking forward to seeing more of New York.
Dont you have to climb over each other to get out of bed?
Woah, seems like this transition has been a long time coming in your minds and may still take a while to implement. Whatever mobile living you choose for your adventures, I’ll be watching! Excited for you two to find a way to travel that is less work and more fun! I’m interested to hear that you have PTSD from your trailer being stolen because you put on a strong face throughout that whole process. It makes total sense that you are concerned to lose all your possessions again. Sending love and encouragement!
My husband and I follow your vlog and enjoy it so much. It is completely understandable to want to evolve and change up to meet your needs and we wish you luck finding the vehicle that best fits. We live in Rochester and just finished (well almost) building out a van. We’ll be weekenders for awhile but hoping to get to more extended trips in the next few years. I hope you enjoyed our hometown. There is so much to see and do, but recognize you all were on a rest stop over! We have the BEST public farmers market that you would love if you are ever back on a Saturday. It’s one of the oldest in the country and has everything for food and cooking lovers!! Have so much fun in the ADKs, another one of our most favorite areas. Not sure where you are going but we love Brown Tract Pond. Primitive camping but a wonderful lake, kayaking, fishing and an island to paddle out to and jump off rocks. Just beautiful and serene. The nearby town of Inlet is cool too. Small, not as busy as Old Forge. So many other camps and towns I could go on forever! Welcome to NY and enjoy your time in our beautiful state!!
Totally understand burnout. We will follow you with any choice you take. Good luck and stay safe.
I miss you guys kayak camping too!😃
I saw you looked at a slide in truck camper. We have had a couple of these over the years and had one this summer. It was hard to take it on some of the narrow boon docking roads with the height and sway when the road was crooked. The one we had was wide and top heavy….no where for us to put our kayaks, not much garage space. It was comfortable. We have had many bumper pull trailers over the years and did our share of tent camping. You both are smart enough to figure it all out in time. We had a 29’ Winnebago motorhome and towed a Suzuki 4x4 vehicle behind to go to town. Enjoy your journey.
There are a lot of truck bed campers out there. Find one that has the right layout for you, and go for it. Get a good 4wheel drive truck w/flatbed. Put a winch on it. Winch can be used many ways.
ABSOLUTELY! I live in a van which is ok for me as a single but it would be way too tight for a couple. I have admired you living fulltime in a tent but can’t imagine the work of constant set up and tear down. Go for something bigger! I love your VLOGs.
So excited to hear your gonna take the next step on your journey. RVing.... has a lot of advantages! Good luck, will keep watching whatever you decide. Camp on Dome Life.
