Found your channel while surfing a topic and watched a few vids. I've had a YT channel for a long time and the hardest thing there is to it is to find your own voice. You were well on your way to doing that, and have a nice natural presence. Sorry to see the disappointments and frustrations, but you're very young and you have your lifetime together for many new adventures. Thanks for the momentary glimpse into your world, and wish you every good thing there is.
It's worth pointing out that you set up a big challenge for yourself and had some bad luck. I wouldn't give up on RVing. In 20 years of RVing, I've never experienced anything like what you experienced. Every type of RV is a set of tradeoffs. My parents had a 5th wheel and were always dealing with tire (and other) issues. But my dad wanted a recliner and a fake fireplace. The hassle, limitations, and expense were worth it to him. Your choice made sense given that you were trying to make your RV your permanent home. Now that you have a permanent home, a different type of RV might be a better fit. You've got a truck. Consider a truck camper. Accessing amazing places is so much easier with a truck camper or a van than pulling any kind of trailer. It's easier to drive, and you can stop just about anywhere you want. We travel 4-6 weeks each year and most years we don't stay in a single campground. We've had the same Lance truck camper for 20 years. Our 21 year old son has gotten to see most of the western US and Canada because of it. (I will concede that being located in Florida is a disadvantage for you.) Also, a can of bear spray is a great deterrent for a rando looking to start a fight. :-) Good luck to you both.
Two words- Van life! A good van that's capable of boondocking/off grid (lithium batteries/water capacity, etc.) will get you away from having to "hook up" at RV parks, and hence, get you away from the potential bad interactions with the crazies at RV parks. Vans are self contained, more durable, safer, and easy to maneuver also. We have a Van (don't do CZcams with it though) and on the rare occasions we have to go to an RV park, we hate it. All of our negative experiences have been from inconsiderate or just crazy people at these campgrounds! Boondocking gets us away and gives us so much freedom and has been nothing but positive. I guess what I'm saying is don't give up on the lifestyle, just adjust IMO. Vans can be pricey, but so worth it if you can swing it. I would suggest something like a Winnebago Revel or Storyteller overland. Best of luck to you guys going forward!
