RVing Life Now - Not Sailing Brick House!
United States
Registrace 27. 01. 2018
Circumnavigator Patrick Childress presented DIY Projects, Tips, and Tricks for Repairing and Upgrading your Cruising Sailboat before passing away from covid-19 in June 2020, after 13 years of a circumnavigation with his wife Rebecca Childress. Afterwards, widow Rebecca Childress, the owner of of the 1976 Valiant 40, called Brick House finished her circumnavigation in May 2023. Michael Hayward, a licensed captain & best friend from South Africa, helped her continue the circumnavigation to the Caribbean, where he bought his own sailboat Amiga Mia.
Rebecca struggled with Plan B - life after Patrick, life sailing as a widow, assuming much risk and responsibility for her sailboat and home.
She finally finished her circumnavigation in May 2023.
She then decided to give the RV Life a try and purchased a 29 foot Class C Motorhome.
Now she will focus on the transition to RVing, the differences and similarities between the sailing lifestyle and the RV lifestyle and her next adventures.

My Enchanted Full Time RV Life in New Mexico : Now RVing! (Not Sailing Brick House #102)
Rebecca Childress drives her 29' class C motorhome out west, living full time in her RV! In this episode of Now RVing, she arrives to New Mexico and explores the many treasures of this Land of Enchantment as its called. Carlsbad Caverns National Park, Guadelupe Mountains National Park, White Sands National Park, Bandalier National Monument, and the beautiful town of Santa Fe, she almost wonders if she will ever wants to leave. Two people make it very tempting to stay camping right there in Santa Fe in her RV indefinitely! This idea involves a sailboat belonging to a couple who live there who want to sail the boat in the Sea of Cortez, where Rebecca has always wanted to go sailing! But alas, she leaves to the Colorado mountains, steering right in to trouble with the RV instead!
Carlsbad Caverns National Park, Guadelupe National Park, White Sands National Park, Bandalier National Monument, Santa Fe - all such lovely places to travel to in an RV motorhome!! BLM land abounds for camping, as does great south western and New Mexico cousine and music! Even some African music with Pamwe Marimba!

I agree that woodstoves are simple and effective, but a couple of questions. How do you store enough dry wood ? I understand the constraints of the bunk, etc, but don't you end up with very cold feet & hot head where it is, so high up rather than the floor ?
Hello. It never got the true test. We were heading to Patagonia when Patrick Passed. I had my cruising guide marked up as to what anchorages had wood available . I had it carefully planned. Many people that do this route run out of diesel because they use that for heating. Diesel is scarce there… many miles between. Like anything sailing and cruising , the best plan is to have a few different plans.
@@SailingBrickHouse-RVLife Oh yes of course Rebecca, I am sorry. I do agree, always have a plan B and thank you for your reply.
Great video! Enjoyed it! Stay safe!
Thanks, you too!
Since my last video came out I've had so many viewers say I need to contact you. One can't pass links over comments from viewer to creator so if you would like to chat I give an email in the breakup video. It was nice watching your latest. I was out there a bit ago in my camper and camped within 20 feet of where you parked near Carlsbad. Besides just chatting you might want one of my BankManagers. It would help you with your power in the camper and I'd like to get the word out on other channels. So write if you like.
I will check it out… not sure what a BankManager is :)
do you have a link to the wiring cables that go to the charge controller?

Good vid, thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Oh great I can’t wait to see you on the Catalina also
Yep a Catalina 27 is on the small side… but it’s a good boat… had one before… and Patrick sailed one around the world!
No human being is totally safe at any time, anywhere. Even a 240 lb, 6'5" man. Nothing we can do about the ever-present possibility of something bad happening (predators, accidents, running into bad people, etc), so stop worrying and enjoy the life you have. Know where you're going in the afterlife (trust in Jesus as your Savior), and you won't fear death... only whether it will be painful, or quick & painless!
I don’t worry too much :) When it’s my time it’s my time. I worry more about living the rest of my life bored! Yes hope it’s painless when it comes
I watched many of your video posts, and always truly enjoyed them. What is so upsetting is this should not have happened to him, or the world for that matter, and Anthony Fauci has still not been made to pay or brought to justice for this terrible crime.
Don’t know how to answer that question…
Caring is what you do. Love the new video. Stay safe and sometimes be a bit cautious, just like sailing. Sometimes there's just a bit too much wind
Ah thanks…. I’m always cautious… it’s my middle name :) I use Driveweather to make decisions to stay or go. I was willing to sail in more wind than i’m willing to drive this motorhome in :)
This looked like a great few adventures! Here’s to many more 🎉 Remember, alone doesn’t need to be lonely x
Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t
Happy to see the latest video. I enjoy watching your adventures as I slow down for the evening. Safe travels and keep smiling. It looks so good on you!
thanks so much for watching my RVing adventures. New Mexico is so great. Colorado is too!
@@SailingBrickHouse-RVLife I’m actually following you through New Mexico in October. Been doing the RV thing for years here in Alaska. Decided to purchase one just to travel the lower 48 during the winter. Summers are too nice here in Alaska to travel. So now that I got to retire early in life as you I’m going to be adventurous. Keep wearing those shades. You’ve got such a bright future!
It's handy to keep a tarp, old large towel, or large piece of cardboard to put on the ground when you need to look under your van or car. You can lay on them or fold up for kneeling. Love your videos.
Great idea… but if there are no bugs i don’t mind being close to mother earth :) I have a piece of cardboard if i really need to lay on something :)
You are so amazing my girl love you 🙏💕😻♥️
Ah Jinty thanks… Where are you these days? When are we gonna share a campsite!!!
Rebecca! This was so fun to watch, I've always wanted to see Carlsbad Caverns, now I have to go! Looking forward to seeing your Colorado adventures. Stay well and have fun!
Glad you enjoyed it! And I hope you get there. It’s still to date, months after the fact really, one of my favorites!!! Colorado is pretty magnificent too though! It’s nice living on the RV full time and taking as long as i want to get places and be places in the motorhome
Truth or Consequences New Mexico, a magical little city sitting on geothermal hot spring. Hot Springs all over the city. These waters will change your life.
Ooooh this sounds great. Have you been to Pagosa Springs in CO? Pretty cool too!!!
Beautiful documentary Rebecca. Thank you for sharing this ❤❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it and are watching my RV adventures :) I’m very lucky to be in this part of the world!
I love these places! You've really captured the presents and essence! The music was wonderful! I cant wait to see what happens next! ❤❤
Thank you so much! I couldn’t capture the essence inside this caves at all. Most magical enchanted place i’ve been to on the RV yet i think!
So glad to see you're looking so good........a totally different person from the time you were in Cape Town.........and even back in the States and still on your boat. It seems boat life in the end was not good for you any more. All the best on your travels ahead. Blessings from Cape Town. 🌸🌼🌺
ah can’t figure out who this is… but glad to hear i’m looking good :) I think sailing probably ran its course. Not opposed to doing it again someday. But for now RV Life is treating me well. There is still a little bit of stress but whenever i see a challenge up ahead I always remember how much harder it was on the sailboat and how much more I had to lose … and it makes RV life feel like a piece of cake !
@@SailingBrickHouse-RVLife You go Girl!! You really look stunning. We did not meet in Cape Town. I sent you some messages when you were so traumatized by Patric's death. I felt for you. Although Mike was with you afterwards, you were still recovering from an insane period in your life and it took its toll on you. I can see you're in a MUCH better place and I am SO happy for you. Many blessings, love and light.💝💫
Thank you for this beautiful video.👋
Thank you too… for watching it
Another word of advice, get the muffler repaired. Dragging muffler or safety chains can cause sparks with can cause a wildfire. I am sure you do not want to be the cause of a wildfire. Several years ago loose safety chains caused 7 wildfires along hwy 97 here in Central Oregon. Best deal is the lifetime senior pass. I got mine when they were $10.
Hey… you saying i’m a senior! I just got the normal one year pass because i’m not a senior yet :) Yep… Have already since gotten it fixed properly for that reason and many more reasons :)
oh and i also saw electric brakes connection between toad and motorhome drag and cause sparks and cause the brakes to switch on and off in car and wreak havoc. I take this stuff pretty seriously. But had to do something to hold me over until…0
@@SailingBrickHouse-RVLife opps my mistake.
Most excellent video of the Land of Enchantment!! Anxious to see your Colorado adventures!
Hey Grande!!! Thanks for watching!!! Yep Colorado is next!!!
Over the years I have met many women who travel solo. It is simple, use common sense in your travels. The biggest danger while traveling is feeding the wild animals in parks and this is something you should not do. I do not know how far the video is from real time. Most travel to the Southwest during the winter then migrate north as the weather warms up north. I live in Central Oregon Cascades and make a 60 to 60 day treck to the southwest each winter. I love winter here but a change for a while is fun. Over time you may find that your low clearance toe rig will limit your exploration. A high clearance toe rig will permit you to see much more.
Yep… that’s so true. I park the RV in safe places for my motorhome to be, and take my little Honda where it probably isn’t meant to go… I put airbags on the back of the motorhome but it didn’t help that much
and no i don’t feed the wild animals. I don’t even feed the domestic animals :) But there is still a cat and a dog lazing on my motorhome floor as we speak, at a Harvest Host place!
Superb!
Thanks a lot for watching my RV adventures in paradise!

thanks for watching my wonderful RV life!
Good to see that your doing well and enjoying Life. Traveling cross country , I stopped one morning at Carlsbad Caverns <took the elevator down> and spent a couple of hours enjoying the caverns. 50 years ago, had my 16th birthday <july 31> on top of Pikes Peak. Wishing You the Best Life has to offer. Be Safe. 😎
ah glad you got to the west… even if just for a bit… it’s wonderful!!!
Very nice. Thanks a million. Wherever you go we are with you, but yeah, I know what you mean. Have fun.
Thanks! 😃So happy to have you along for the RV ride!
With this video I think you’ve turned a new corner in your craft. You are turning into an articulate storyteller, very much engaging. You draw me into your adventure via very well linked video transitions. The emotion of amazement and appreciation for God’s creation do I see in your spoken storyline not to mention your visual expressiveness. Okay, okay I’ll stop. But well done. You are progressing in the right direction. Love the interlacing of music both live and canned. Including the underlying tune you use in each of your episodes effectively tying each together into the overall tapestry of your new journey in life. Love the emotion conveyed.
ah thanks David… you always say such nice things :) Thanks for following along and being my friend
I agree entirely
What a nice video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Rob!! Glad you enjoyed, my friend!

yea his videos were so good :) He filmed them over and over again to get the right lighting, angles, noise etc. He would break it and fix it 10 times just to make sure the video was good

He hasn’t started one yet. I’m not sure he plans to.
Only catching up now. Last video I had seen you and Michael were parting ways. More than a year ago. Just now watched the circumnavigation video and this one. I first started watching right after Patrick passed during Covid. You are an amazing resilient woman. I shed a few tears when you sold Brick House. 💕 It’s lovely to see Michael is still in your life. Here’s to all the new land based adventures to come! 🎉
Yep… Michael and I will probably be friends forever though we aren’t a couple anymore. He is the best of men…but we on different paths now, for sure. I’m on my RV seeing my own country for a change, and he is on his boats down in Grenada living the sailing life! When you want to go sailing, it’s a bit of a disease and you have to do it… I’d never hold someone back from what they truly want to do… I know this addiction first hand!
Michael your a great guy!
I will pass on the message to him. Yes… he is the best of guys… just couldn’t be a better guy!
@@SailingBrickHouse-RVLife thank you so much Rebecca. Good luck on your new adventure. If your not feeling well, it’s better to be on land.
33:03 You inspired me to change myself. Thank you.🙏
@@wandererblue Glad to hear that! It’s always possible!
Don Casey has a simpler solution for blister problems.
ah will have to look it up unless you can tell me. But remember these aren’t your normal water intrusion type blisters as I’m sure Patrick spoke about
He doesn’t explain why you need a big heavy dinghy with a a big heavy outboard. Small light, easy to lift on off deck. Small motor, electric? , you are in no rush. Why go to a lovely peaceful anchorage then destroy that with a noisy engine
Sometimes you must travel 2 miles in a dinghy to get somewhere, or drag over rocks, or go against wind and waves. In a lightweight dinghy unless you put multiple people in it, it can be dangerous and blow over in wind and waves. Or if it hits something underwater can easily be holed. But yes i’m ideal conditions just like your big sailboat, lightweight can have its advantages too. But for hardcore years of service in all kinds of anchorages and landings . beat to have something that can stand up to LOTS of abuse.
Good work. If you want to be neater , mask off the area.
yes exactly right…gluing a sail back together can be neat, effective, or both :)
I recently used Aquasure (or ShoeGoo, etc) polyurethane glue. It takes a while to set, you have to stick down with masking tape overnight. Yet to find out how long it will last. Do know it works well in repairing shoes, very strong, very flexible. What is good is that you can get it in small tubes.
That’s is a very cool solution… the flexibility is key and if it works in shoes it should work for gluing a sail back together too! If you can remember, please post an update here in a year letting us know how it goes! If you can get another year out of the sail by flying the sail back together with shoe glue then it’s a win! Of course the problem with glueing a sail is that if it ripped in one spot then it probably is rotten enough to rip in another spot. I wonder if coating the whole sail with the stuff would make it last forever haha!
I think it’s sweet you didn’t fire anyone you just gave them an easier job for their skill level.
thanks ashley. Yes patrick was a good boss :)
Back in 1975 we were threatened in Cumberland Bay, St. Vincent after we had anchored and settled for the night. So just before nightfall we left and sailed to The Saints thru the night. We never went back to St. Vincent😢.
probably a smart move!
Milwaukee Tools has an inflator that can do that. Tire Minder is the tpms that I have used with success.
Cool. Someone else recomended that too. I’m looking in to it for sure. Going to check on this tire minder for sure
What do you use for security so the Emile isn’t stolen?
I have locked hitch pins everywhere and an alarm on the bike which the slightest movement of anything sets it off . And about 4 different locks when at anxhor
I went to college in west Texas (Lubbock) and the only solution I found to bicycle flats was tire liners.
i will have to google that :) Having a bike on an RV definitely involves a bit if work :)
I’ve used tire slime with great results to prevent flats
a few people have said that on RV youtube channels
I really am sad you couldn't stop in Mobile. Mardi Gras started here! LOL. I live on an Island in Alabama, but i told ya that! When you come back this way, let me know! All the best and stay safe! ✝️🙏❤️🇺🇸⛵️☘️🍍😊

Love the wolf howling!
