Would like to see a video of what you have to do to move to a new location. All you have to pack up, load up and hitch up just to be able to hit the road.
They have made a video or two about the pack up and load out process along with a series of checklists of what to start doing beginning 24 hours ahead of time. The checklists are great for staying organized and not forgetting something important.
No Words. LOLOL....... Have pulled many boat trailers being in Florida, but we are about to pull the trigger on a Redwood 4150RD 5th Wheel (just picked up the F450 today) so I started doing the 'due diligence' part of understanding how they tow differently, hitching, GVWR, etc......and quickly ended up in a rabbit hole of videos for campsites, grills, wheels, suspensions, definitive accessories, etc. Right away I noticed 80% of the time I was on your page with one of your videos. I can't thank you enough - I am a 'project guy' who cannot be idle, and with everything that Chad has done, I have a new found appreciation for all of the things I will get to do and upgrade. LOVE this. You both are amazing - inspirational - and incredibly helpful. THANK you. My girlfriend and I can work from anywhere and are now empty nesters, so we will looking for your Momentum out on the roads. Best wishes and CHEERS.
You have a beautiful home! And Chad, you are amazing at all the upgrades you have done and my husband is impressed with all your preventative maintenance you do on your rig. You guys are so entertaining and educational for all of us part timers. Thanks so much Tara for all the hours you spend editing your great videos 😊.
My wife and I just purchased the Grand Design 379th. We have had many RV,S over the years but none of them met our needs completely. We also ride motorcycles. I have followed you for several years and you guys played a very large part in our decision to buy the 397th. We have dreamed about having one for several years and now it is a reality. Thank you for all of your videos. You guys are such an inspiration for us.
@@aubieal0878 You might as well be wishing for a unicorn! Don't need a man. Learn to do the basics and then look at problems that arise as a chance to learn a new skill!
I just found this RV website - and I am amazed at all you all have Done . Thank you for SHARING. I might purchase me one In the Future. You all have a beautiful RV and May God Bless you Together 🙏
Your “Handyman” skills are off the charts. The list of add-ones and upgrades is endless and would amount to a small fortune to hire out. Very inspirational 👍
I just found you channel on utube, you two nailed it! My husband and I are full timers , working and just living on the road with our fifth wheel. Watching you is giving me the courage to finally get rid of our house without wheels, love how you describe the fine details of road life and making it work. Thank you! Excellent work!
Interesting bit about the 'fire suppressors' in several bays.. I never thought about adding those.. But that's just one reason why I love your channel - very good info every time.. Thanks you two..
You both have done a great job in upgrading and presenting your home. Also, it shows that you both like each other. Love is easy, like is hard. Well done on this video!
This is great. Most videos only showcase. The reality of living in one is awesome to see. The only thing we have in common are the Dewalt drills. Thanks for sharing.
It's not really expensive if you live in it full time. It would be the same as keeping up a 120k house. Which that's a pretty cheap house. Alot of expenses are cut as well. No lawn care. No property taxes. No utility payments besides renting a spot at a campground, which if you rent monthly is actually very cheap. I would love to do this once my kids are out of the house. Super chill lifestyle.
@@grant8490 very true, just to Grand designs website and you can do a build and price and for what i picked out and i got it at $152,388 which if you get good interest rate, good credit and and a decent down payment then you can possibly get a monthly payment of 12 to $1,400. I'd say thats pretty damn good i think since you have no other bills that come with a home.
@@TheWoodPekr Yup. Also, when you build and price on the website, it is giving you the MSRP. Which 99% of the time is way over what you can purchase them for through a dealership. My brother is shopping for a fifth wheel toy hauler right now and they sell, on average, about 20 to 25k below msrp. Especially if the dealership has a sale going on, which they almost always do. Lol It is a pretty affordable lifestyle.
Great idea for hanging and organizing the power tools. Really like the slide out trays in the basement👍 Thank you for sharing lots of great ideas!! Safe travels.
I think Tara mentioned a slide out tray for the cleaning products in the first tour video 3 years ago! C’mon Chad?! 🤣 love your channel! Keep up the great work
Just a short story on those raccoons , there's a reason they have that bandit looking face. They will steal you blind. When we first started camping in a van at Fort Pickens National Park , Pensacola Florida in the 1970's . I was a E-4 Buck Sargeant. We put our coolers outside the van and put some stuff on the lids. 2 of them , one for dry stuff and the other with ice. We woke up with a trail of sugar (5 lb bag) from the cooler into the woods . The eggs , bacon, bread you name it the raccoons cleaned us out. Lucky we were with some friends who shared there food with us. The moral of the story is never trust anything that's got a full time bandits mask on. They may look cute but that's only to make you feel trusting. They will be back with friends during darkness.
@@ChangingLanes my first time to watch this video. Sorry if i may ask, do you have kids? I really love this video that's why i need to store this on my phone so that i can watch it again anytime. Love from the 🇵🇭
First RV!!!!! That is commitment, I love this model. So many reasons to make that a great home-on-the-move. I have considered a well rounded toy hauler for office flexibility. I am only concerned about driving one.
like you said, the patio has a function. You showed it perfectly. The dog itching for fresh air but you are editing a video. You can let the dog out the patio and keep and eye on the pup. Where you camp you might have a wild racoon that could hurt your dog if you just chained it up normally out of the door on the ground. Just set a potty pad in the corner for the dog to do his/her business and that solves it all.
This was great! So informative. I'm just not sure how someone not so handy as you could accomplish everything you've done. You're work is amazing. You could make a living doing it on site where you stay.
I've driven a lot of British backcountry roads in a small car. It was ... interesting. But, I've seen truckers negotiate those same roads in a decent sized lorry and was suitably impressed. So, a lot of it comes down to skill ... and nerves of steel. Personally, I haven't got the guts to drive one of these massive 5th wheels even on a 4-lane Interstate. My hat is off to those folks who can take them into the backcountry.
The upgrades are signs of an intelligent person. Very well done, also they seem so down to earth and honest. It's the 1st video I watch from them, but I like it
Love your minimalist lifestyle! But seriously, there’s nothing like being able to take everything with you…you’ll never forget anything at home. Like you said, might not be for everyone but you’re enjoying it and you only live once.
I am sooooo blessed to have my own CHAD ...mine is Denver lol From KY ... yes ..all 6'7" feet of him and he is starting to realize you two are full of knowledge and after he thought "I don't need a surge protector and the frying of fireplace, microwave, and now the vacuum system ." Denver now listens to me and YOU TWO
Big size changes the game but it can also prove a problematic thing when you decide to park a vehicle in a confined space. Well everything has plus and minus so its okay. It was wonderful experience to dive into your world.
You guys are inspiring by living your best life! I work in IT (cybersecurity), my wife is ready to take a couple years off to go back to school, our two adult children living in different parts of the country, and our youngest is about to head off to a TBD college. This is exactly what we want to do for the next 4-5 years! Thank you SOOO much for sharing your journey and helping aspiring nomad bikers like me see how it can be done!
As always, thank you for sharing your home with us. Seeing some of the various modifications and improvements you've made over the course of your ownership hopefully gives others ideas on what they can possibly do with their own rigs. We've made quite a few mods to our Class A, so it's always nice to see some ideas from others on how to use space in different ways.
We love watching y’all. Y’all take such good care of your place. Good job. Keep it up! We are just starting full time, in a smaller rig that works for us. Y’all are inspiring. Thank you for the tour!
I watch a good bit of videos for insight to help with my work in upgrading, repairing and maintaining RVs for clients. The difficulty in watching videos is the consistency in couples full timing and being so proud of themselves for it that it requires so much patience just to surf through their self promotion to get to useful information. You both do an incredible job of being on point, forward moving, as well as truly compliment each other, rather than the usual competition and sarcasm. Way to style constructive insight w/o being flat or overdramatic. You've def honed what works, inside and outside the RV journey.
@@ekimandersom4478 Some people trap themselves between the choice of freedom and being the best parent they can. Unstable environments like traveling from place to place is not really the best life for kids, who want stable friends and social life. So it easier said than done.
I totally understand your point I am in the same predicament however, I am divorced and i am tired of waiting for them to go to college so i am gonna start traveling this Summer the ex can watch over them i gotta live my life now
I have to say your under bed storage reminds me of being in the Navy when we went underway. Our cofin beds (bunks) have neat compartments under the mattress for everything we couldnt fit in a little wall lockers. Oh yeah absolutely love your beautiful amazing guard dog.😊😊😊
Wow! I've always enjoyed watching you take us along with you on your adventures, but now we actually see how you live. All I can say is- you've both done an AMAZING job on making your RV such a gorgeous, yet practical living space!! Thanks for sharing to inspire the RV life!!
Get some good wheel clamps, take the wheel with you when leaving for multiple hours, get a good alarm system, add extra locks, add multiple trackers and cameras, etc and you shouldn’t have a problem. Also, keep your key secure in a metal box of it’s a push to start just so people unable to use a relay machine. If you have a really old van/rv, there are ways to stop people from hot wiring it, if it’s not push to start however it is new then your rv can’t be stolen unless someone tows it which is be surprised if someone did lol.
The newer dually trucks have a chip in the key that makes them very difficult to steal. And a expensive and timely mess to make a key when lost. Most thief's steal whole truck and trailer not just trailer. And for most making payments you have to have full coverage until it's paid that full coverage, covers theft.
To each their own. I live in my hermitage here in the desert. Built by me and don’t venture out anymore. However did enough of that when I was younger.
Great video. Upgraded our mattress with Mattress Insider after your earlier video. Ordering the mattress was super easy. Swapping the mattress was much easier than expected. Mentioned ya'll so hope they were good to you. If anyone else buys a mattress ask them if the Veteran/First Responder discount is still valid.
This was a wonderful segment…don’t want to show hubby tho, he already hates camping……on top of which we had an expensive repair from our last camping trip…….if he saw what else could Happen, I would never hear the end of it. 🙇♀️
Amazing video! We have the 2021 Grand Design Momentum and love it! I love the multiple shower head system that came with ours. You’ve done some great upgrades. Live your storage solutions.
WOW!! So cool to get to design one!! We've always discounted toy haulers because of the shortcomings of the living space. This one could become a contender in our search for our full-time RV.
I have noticed a lot of people painting their rvs because they dont.like the brown. I had thought about it also after 6 years full time inside my rv, but looking at how cozy you guys have made the place even with the brown and tan walls just by adding decor in color makes me want to keep the same. Thanks for sharing.
Became a subscriber months ago. While I'd be look'n good to be half this size... the principal remains the same. Don't be afraid to "CUSTOMIZE"!! My only concern is that your trapped with Dewalt. I'm a Milwaukee/Ryobi guy. With the Ryobi system I can drill, cut, sanitize, wash, buff, fan, mist/cool and light up everything from a single battery platform. Thanks so much for the advice and technical; everything you do is with a purpose.
Thank you for always adding links to the products you've used in your own RV. I've bought quite a few of them myself and you've saved me a bunch of time by adding the links and letting us know which products you thought work well. Love your channel!
I've been perusing Super C motor homes, and my significant other mentioned that a 5th wheel would allow you to park the shelter portion and continue driving the truck locally, which she would prefer. I begrudgingly started looking through 5th wheels, and WOW. I don't even know what to say. I guess the Super C is more all-in-one and meant to be more mobile, and the 5th wheels are meant to be brought to a place and parked for a while. The only thing that I still like about Super Cs compared to something like this is the inside access between shelter and cab. The ability to not have to leave the vehicle at all is appealing. But to have essentially a house that you can tow from place to place.... That's really cool. And this is definitely bigger and more house-like than ANY of the Super Cs I have been looking at.
When I see extravagance like this, I wonder where all the money comes from. The upfront cost, the fuel, the maintenance ; my God! Maybe I'm just envious, but this is on a whole different financial means level that I know. They are the anti-Bob Wells!
The RV and truck together were $150K which was way less than our house. Our expenses now are about the same as they were in the house... just different expenses.
Nice job on the shelf woodwork! Something that might help that I did for our RV. The cabinets on the island where you need access to the back. pick up keyboard tray rails from Amazon. Then build the tray out of wood to fit. I even added a 3-inch lip to help hold things in place. The keyboard trays are sturdy enough to handle cleaning supplies and such, plus they lock into place when closed to help on travel days. I used solid wood (oak), stained to match and they look really well done. Total cost about $50-60. Love all the upgrades you all have done. Gave me a few more ideas on things we need to do as well!
It is a beautiful RV and Grand Design makes a great unit with the Momentum. When we were starting to look for one the only thing we couldn't get past (besides the prices!) was the same thing Tara said.....the living room. Then we saw the Heartland Cyclone 4005 and 4006 toy haulers. WOW what a living room and kitchen area. Check them out! As it turned out we didn't get either because we didn't want a dually as our daily driver and the PRICE of the toy haulers. We ended up with a Montana and an F-350 diesel with SRW. Maybe next time the toy hauler will win out, besides we wanted a second bathroom for full time. Enjoy, and hope to see you guys on the road some day!
Inspired..convinced me to buy a tow camper...look frwrd to catching up (on my next trip to US) with you both and getting some practical pointers Thank u v.much.
I use lids from totes for shelves so I can just pull the lid out with the stuff on it rather than digging around a cabinet were you would've to get on the floor. I also use on under the sinks so if something leaks it will hold it. Be it the bold of soap etc or the sink itself.
I LOVE the modifications you’ve made. It gives us great ideas for ours. We’re so pleased we came across your video and will be watching your other videos madly taking notes. Thank you.
Cool trip back through the GD, especially with the changes. It’s amazing what great shape it’s in although it’s no surprise. Y’all take such great care of your home and it shows. I think my favorite thing is still the set of MORryde morgue uhh, I mean cargo drawers in the basement. 😜 And Chad, great idea with the Blackstone. It’ll save that back in the long run. Tara, you’ve done a great job organizing every cubby and nook to make room. Lots of original ideas. Awesome new tour guys. Thanks for another good one. Troy

Have pulled many boat trailers being in Florida, but we are about to pull the trigger on a Redwood 4150RD 5th Wheel (just picked up the F450 today) so I started doing the 'due diligence' part of understanding how they tow differently, hitching, GVWR, etc......and quickly ended up in a rabbit hole of videos for campsites, grills, wheels, suspensions, definitive accessories, etc. Right away I noticed 80% of the time I was on your page with one of your videos.

Like a sticks and bricks house as you live in it you change features and style for your needs and wants. Nice home. Daisy is just so adorable.
Your “Handyman” skills are off the charts. The list of add-ones and upgrades is endless and would amount to a small fortune to hire out. Very inspirational 👍

Wow! I've always enjoyed watching you take us along with you on your adventures, but now we actually see how you live. All I can say is- you've both done an AMAZING job on making your RV such a gorgeous, yet practical living space!! Thanks for sharing to inspire the RV life!!
I love the idea and I'm sure it's a great way to live, but the one thing that always puts me off is the thought of someone stealing my house... 🤪
Get some good wheel clamps, take the wheel with you when leaving for multiple hours, get a good alarm system, add extra locks, add multiple trackers and cameras, etc and you shouldn’t have a problem. Also, keep your key secure in a metal box of it’s a push to start just so people unable to use a relay machine. If you have a really old van/rv, there are ways to stop people from hot wiring it, if it’s not push to start however it is new then your rv can’t be stolen unless someone tows it which is be surprised if someone did lol.
I full time in a class C. They actually have very good and heavy doors and locks.
@@dianamauro3498 But Not glass windows 🤒
Ready? Gun.
The newer dually trucks have a chip in the key that makes them very difficult to steal. And a expensive and timely mess to make a key when lost. Most thief's steal whole truck and trailer not just trailer. And for most making payments you have to have full coverage until it's paid that full coverage, covers theft.
Rocky the Racoon just made this video more awesome with his cuteness
To each their own. I live in my hermitage here in the desert. Built by me and don’t venture out anymore. However did enough of that when I was younger.
We love the Grand Design after watching it on your video and a few others
Great video. Upgraded our mattress with Mattress Insider after your earlier video. Ordering the mattress was super easy. Swapping the mattress was much easier than expected. Mentioned ya'll so hope they were good to you. If anyone else buys a mattress ask them if the Veteran/First Responder discount is still valid.
This is beast. It doesn't look like a motor home. It's look like proper home. Love it😍
This was a wonderful segment…don’t want to show hubby tho, he already hates camping……on top of which we had an expensive repair from our last camping trip…….if he saw what else could Happen, I would never hear the end of it. 🙇♀️
Amazing video! We have the 2021 Grand Design Momentum and love it! I love the multiple shower head system that came with ours. You’ve done some great upgrades. Live your storage solutions.
WOW!! So cool to get to design one!!
We've always discounted toy haulers because of the shortcomings of the living space. This one could become a contender in our search for our full-time RV.
Thanks for allowing us into your home. Awesome. Love your little changes you have done.
What a cargo hauler area conversion! By far the best I've seen.
Best RV videos on TH-cam!
I have noticed a lot of people painting their rvs because they dont.like the brown. I had thought about it also after 6 years full time inside my rv, but looking at how cozy you guys have made the place even with the brown and tan walls just by adding decor in color makes me want to keep the same. Thanks for sharing.
Became a subscriber months ago.
While I'd be look'n good to be half this size... the principal remains the same. Don't be afraid to "CUSTOMIZE"!! My only concern is that your trapped with Dewalt.
I'm a Milwaukee/Ryobi guy. With the Ryobi system I can drill, cut, sanitize, wash, buff, fan, mist/cool and light up everything from a single battery platform. Thanks so much for the advice and technical; everything you do is with a purpose.
Thank you for always adding links to the products you've used in your own RV. I've bought quite a few of them myself and you've saved me a bunch of time by adding the links and letting us know which products you thought work well. Love your channel!
Thanks for using our links! 😊
Daisy looks very intimidating...awsome rv
I've been perusing Super C motor homes, and my significant other mentioned that a 5th wheel would allow you to park the shelter portion and continue driving the truck locally, which she would prefer. I begrudgingly started looking through 5th wheels, and WOW. I don't even know what to say. I guess the Super C is more all-in-one and meant to be more mobile, and the 5th wheels are meant to be brought to a place and parked for a while. The only thing that I still like about Super Cs compared to something like this is the inside access between shelter and cab. The ability to not have to leave the vehicle at all is appealing. But to have essentially a house that you can tow from place to place.... That's really cool. And this is definitely bigger and more house-like than ANY of the Super Cs I have been looking at.
@7:50 that little segment was absolutely hilarious, thanks for that :)
The modifications and improvements are great! This is such a nice RV! Great job!
When he said it’s not Daisy time, it hurt me too.
When I see extravagance like this, I wonder where all the money comes from. The upfront cost, the fuel, the maintenance ; my God! Maybe I'm just envious, but this is on a whole different financial means level that I know. They are the anti-Bob Wells!
The RV and truck together were $150K which was way less than our house. Our expenses now are about the same as they were in the house... just different expenses.
Nice job on the shelf woodwork! Something that might help that I did for our RV. The cabinets on the island where you need access to the back. pick up keyboard tray rails from Amazon. Then build the tray out of wood to fit. I even added a 3-inch lip to help hold things in place. The keyboard trays are sturdy enough to handle cleaning supplies and such, plus they lock into place when closed to help on travel days. I used solid wood (oak), stained to match and they look really well done. Total cost about $50-60. Love all the upgrades you all have done. Gave me a few more ideas on things we need to do as well!
Great idea!
Daisy just kept getting more adorable throughout the entire video. So cute! Thanks for the tour of your lovely home. 🙂
This is really awesome. Beautiful RV. You guys have inspired me to look into RV's more. I wish you all the best of luck.
Absolutely stunning set up, you are very lucky to be able to call that your home.
It is a beautiful RV and Grand Design makes a great unit with the Momentum. When we were starting to look for one the only thing we couldn't get past (besides the prices!) was the same thing Tara said.....the living room. Then we saw the Heartland Cyclone 4005 and 4006 toy haulers. WOW what a living room and kitchen area. Check them out! As it turned out we didn't get either because we didn't want a dually as our daily driver and the PRICE of the toy haulers. We ended up with a Montana and an F-350 diesel with SRW. Maybe next time the toy hauler will win out, besides we wanted a second bathroom for full time. Enjoy, and hope to see you guys on the road some day!
love the sound effects, Chad!
Gotta love it when a plan comes together. Nice presentation, thanks for the invite.
Inspired..convinced me to buy a tow camper...look frwrd to catching up (on my next trip to US) with you both and getting some practical pointers
Thank u v.much.
RV life two people in each other's faces 24/7 true love a requirement
Her hair is marvelous
This is bigger than my 2 bedroom house! It's amazing 👏
I use lids from totes for shelves so I can just pull the lid out with the stuff on it rather than digging around a cabinet were you would've to get on the floor. I also use on under the sinks so if something leaks it will hold it. Be it the bold of soap etc or the sink itself.
I LOVE the modifications you’ve made. It gives us great ideas for ours. We’re so pleased we came across your video and will be watching your other videos madly taking notes. Thank you.
Welcome to our channel! 😊
Cool trip back through the GD, especially with the changes. It’s amazing what great shape it’s in although it’s no surprise. Y’all take such great care of your home and it shows. I think my favorite thing is still the set of MORryde morgue uhh, I mean cargo drawers in the basement. 😜 And Chad, great idea with the Blackstone. It’ll save that back in the long run. Tara, you’ve done a great job organizing every cubby and nook to make room. Lots of original ideas. Awesome new tour guys. Thanks for another good one. Troy
