- Olivia and Nathan here!
We've spent the last two summers RVing along Florida's coastline, exploring some of the most beautiful beaches, and staying at some incredible Florida RV Parks and Resorts! The best strategy to RV Florida (especially in the summer) is to come prepared! There is a lot to know in terms of booking in advance, prepping your rig, and surviving the humidity! 😅 Hope this helps!

Id go with the Purple Mattress as I love it at home. Just may need to cut it to size if RV is not standard sized.
As a Floridian this is so hysterically funny. When you linve it all the time its just the "norm" no matter how crazy. It funny when someone who is not used to it points it out. Enjoy the locals, including the gators and no-see-ums lol.
You guys are amazing! I’ve been watching since the beginning and your videos keep getting better. I love the mix of information, comedy, and realness you guys put in your videos. I’m from Florida and just moved back until i get my RV and i love the Florida videos. Keep up the amazing work and hope you guys continue to grow! ☺️
You guys seem to be acclimating quite well. Brings me back to my first few years when I moved down from Chicago. Now 8 years later I’m a Florida boy and have explored and experienced 90% of the state. Well done the video was spot on! AZ is the only state I can enjoy and spend significant time outside of FL, need that sunshine.
One nice RV park is actually a city park in Jacksonville. It's called Hanna Park, it is on the ocean, but the rv park portion is actually very woody, and you forget you are near the ocean.
Thanks Dick Lamb
Viper max Highly concentrated solution take 2 packets mixed in a gallon of water put some of that in a spray bottle spray down your entire RV on the outside spray around all the corners on the inside and even take a little bit of the stuff and pour it over your roof I have so recommend cleaning mopping your floors and wiping down your surfaces with a mixture of vinegar alcohol peppermint based soap a little peppermint oil mixed with detergent and I have found a 95% improvement in my past reduction doing these things
One problem in Florida is that we get all of the horrible drivers from the rest of the country, sometimes the world. Being behind a Chinese driver who is going backwards on I4. Because they missed their exit is always a treat!
Great video, you really hit the nail on the head. We just left Florida after 4 months as snowbirds. We spent all our time in St. Augustine, lots of traffic and building going on. Keep the videos coming.
I always watch your videos multiple times until I soak all the information you provide and that helps a lot on my future trips to Florida. I am from Dallas Texas and I am planning on retirement somewhere closer to one of the white sandy beaches ( after 10 years though ) . Thanks for sharing the video.
You are a smart man. She’s gorgeous and no tatoos.
Thank you guys for not only looking out for Florida, but for standing up for Florida.
Floridian here! Everything you said was spot on! Just bought our first RV and I can’t wait to travel across the state and into other states!
Very uplifting and encouraging! All positive vibes 😊❤
Dude! Love you guys and great timing. Wife and I just checked into Ocean grove rv resort in St. Augustine today for a week. We been traveling the east cost for the past few days coming from South Carolina. Keep up the great work guys!!
For the bugs try Skin So Soft . I think it’s made by Avon and it works very well in the marshes in Louisiana.
Awesome video guys😊
Buy a dehumidifier. That will stop the mold. Your ac is being overwhelmed or your insulation is not good enough
I feel ya on the fl weather. Born an raised in Jacksonville just north of st augustine
And I can't believe you guys have not been to siesta if you have I did not see it keep up the great work
Thanks for all the great info. I can’t wait to camp in Florida. I am planning to retire next year and will be planning a trip to “The Keys”. Keep those great videos coming.
Your fabric softener trick also helps with keeping spiders away. I use the same trick for my boat.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing and those things look great and useful.
This was awesome guys!
My goal is to move there in about 5 years! You guys are the best! 😎
Enjoyed your video! We just returned from a week on the beach in Florida. It was wonderful.
great post!
The fact that Florida weather is almost exactly the same as south Padre makes me need it
I can tell you I live here in fl once you have lived here the hot weather doesn’t bother you anymore and wen it’s gets to 65 out side I’m wanting to put my jacket on lol
was entertained from start to finish. thanks guys
Frickin awesome vid. Thanks so much for sharing this. FL is on the top of our list when we go full time in Sept.
woo! Congrats on going full time in Sept! Safe travels guys! :)
I'm a Floridian and I just bought a teardrop camper! Thank you for all the great tips!
I’m in the market for a square drop and was thinking of “RV’ing” through Florida. Have you had any issues with a teardrop at RV parks yet? Or do find it easier considering it’s a smaller rig?
BEST INTRO EVERRRR! Wow you had me dying at "Manatee, retiree, iguana, little Havana" 😂😂😂 Amazing video guys 👏👏👏
Best for Mosquitos is a Thermacell You MUST have!! I live in South FL. and I hunt and fish I won't leave with out it!! love your vids!!
Really GREAT video guys!! 2 things....first we really can't say much about "old people" aka retire-es cuz that's us, but once you get past the smell of Ben-Gay and urine, they're pretty cool and second......another camping option is in some of the state forests of Florida. there are some that have electric hook ups and and are really affordable! Thanks for such an entertaining video!!😎👍
Recently came across your channel. You guys are awesome! You put out great content and I’ve been doing a marathon watching your channel. We live in St Augustine and also Rv. The difference with us is we stay in our home all winter here and then head north in the summer. Can’t handle the summers here. Safe travels and keep up the great videos.
Thanks Scott, love St.Augustine!! Summers are definitely hot though 🥵 safe travels to you too!
Love Florida…my favorite state to visit. Your videos are very interesting and funny, I’m surprised you don’t have 250k subscribers.
Great video as always, guys! Try opening your AC unit up and using Aluminum Foil Tape to seal any areas where hot air meets cold air. It will keep the unit running more efficiently and reduce condensation. Safe travels!
Also reflectix insulation from Home Depot is a cheap & easy way to keep the heat out during the day. Your rig may feel like a crack house with no sunlight but you do what you gotta do to stay cool!
Y’all need to make it to the Homasassa /Crystal River area for Scallop season starting July 1st.
Love your videos & travels! Hey, for FL mosquitos & no-see-ums & probably flies, get a Thermocell at Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot...
They have them for hunters, hikers & as a lantern for a picnic table. It uses butane to heat up a pad thats saturated in some kind of repellent and works fantastic in a 15 foot radius!! Good luck & happy travels!!
Yes! They're expensive bc they WORK!
You guys are awesome! I haven't tried RVing yet but I'm looking forward to do it in the near future, I loved all that you shared in here! I always think that travels are made easier when you have the best travel gears and essentials too. The bento bag from Nomad Lane is my best carry-on bag for dream vacation destinations. Though I'd share it to you guys too ❤🥰
HI FRANCINE, YES, EVERYTHING YOU SAID IS TRUE.. BUT YOU LEFT OUT THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF GEAR NECESSARY FOR THIS LIFESTYLE! YOUR PARTNER! YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR MAN WITH YOU! A GOOD MAN! LIKE THESE TWO, THEY HAVE EACH OTHER, AND APPEAR TO BE VERY GOOD PARTNERS FOR EACH OTHER! VERY SUITED FOR EACH OTHER IT SEEMs... YOU NEED THAT TOO! ( AND SO DO I! ) IM SINGLE ALSO, WAITING TO FIND MY OTHER HALF! WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK? HAVE A CONVERSATION? : ) LET ME KNOW..
I just came across your channel and this is only my second video. You two are way cool! I really enjoy how you present your experiences. All the best. Jim from Georgia
Hey Jim from Georgia! Glad you found us on here and enjoy the vids. Thanks for taking the time to say hello! Hope you stick around. 😊 Cheers! - Olivia
Love this video!!!! I live in Florida and we try to take our camper to a new spot in our state every month!!! You have to check out the springs next year!! Try blue springs state park, Wekiwa springs state park or rainbow springs state park!! You have to book all of them 11 months in advance!!! If you have any Florida questions please ask away!! Love you guys and love following your adventures!!
Hello I'm looking for a low cost campsite do you know any?
One of your best!!!!
New subscriber time to binge watch!
Another great video!
great Vid bro
Nathan's rambling at the beginning reminded me of Forrest Gump's "Bubba" talking about all the ways you can cook/eat Shrimp LOL, Great video!!
Eat one garlic stuffed green olive a day no bugs will land on you.tip from a Florida native
The absolute best bug spray is Picaridin insect spray. I found it on Amazon. We went to Sanibel Island last summer and I used this stuff and for the first time ever I didn’t go home eat up with no-see-um bites and it last for 12 hours. It’s made by Sawyer.
Another great video guys. Quick Question, does the new mattress affect how you can access your under bed storage?
SO AWESOME 🙌🏻🔥🤩
Awesome guys. Love ua
I'm getting one of those mattresses! Tried sleeping on the factory one for a while with just a memory foam topper but it's starting to not feel so good. Time to upgrade!
The heat and humidity of the South East is no joke. I put 1,200 watts of solar panels on my van roof so I can run my 9,000 btu Pioneer mini split 24/7.
Great video, definitely a thumbs up 👍
Curious about your AC unit. Did you get the under bench model?
@@ErikStenbakken just the standard model for a house.
On The economy setting it pulls 175 - 230 watts.
Lots of good information. If you see the basest looking military camper, stop and say hi 👋
Okay so you guys need to go to Venice Florida super cool old style Florida
The opening voice-over is 10/10! -Cody
Check out the free water management sites in Florida for free camping if you can do boondocking ..if you're ever in Cristal river Florida try Cody's road house restaurant . It's my favorite and check out Cader Key too .
You need to try St. Andrews state park last time I checked it was 25.00 a nite and you can stay 30 days
PCB, best beaches in the world.
Well edited video
If there is no sewer hook ups and the place is cool with it, as some places are, barely crack your grey tank (only you gray tank obviously NOT your black tank) to a slow to moderate drip. It will slowly drain itself over night and absorb into Florida’s dry soil and your gray tank will be empty in the morning. This is the best tip I have ever received from other RVers. You can loosen your outside cap and even leave it on and it will still drip. Use environmentally friendly soaps (dawn and homemade soap with natural products only) if you do this. It’s basically like garden hose water. You can stay on site longer and make fewer trips to the dump station. You can also take showers in your RV. You can do this with us in Florida...in California they may put you in Rv jail b/c you’ve broken 6 or 8 laws or local ordinances. That’s what I love about Florida...freedom , love and wearing flip flops anywhere. Take care love your vids see you out there. PS my daughters name is Olivia too
Definitely Crystal River swim with the manatees😊
🎃Great vlog man .One of the best I’ve seen yet.Thanks for the information.You guys did a great job on this and gave a lot of information.
Thanks a lot, glad it was helpful! Safe travels!
Great videos, very informative ! What size is your pickup and camper ?
Pickup F250 crew cab short bed and 28ft TT
We agree with others - Thermocell for the bugs + bug spray and they will leave you alone. Others swear by Skin So Soft but I haven't tried it. But if you're coming back to Florida next year, you MUST come to our stomping grounds, the Forgotten Coast. It's old Florida and is still really natural. St George Island and St Joseph Peninsula are our favorites for beach camping, though the latter is currently under construction. Happy camping!
Love that area. On all our trips to FL we stop along there. Holiday Campground, Ho-Hum, etc.
😊 Ty
FELICITACIONES...Que videos tan bellos...ya me suscribi a tu canal...exito...
Have you guys been to Ginnie Springs yet?
Wonderful creative video1 I subscribed hehehe
Thank you for saying : There are no more crazy people in florida than anywhere else. We always get slammed with the " florida Man" stuff. Thanks, I like you and your wife.
I ain't deeee bright ess bulb in deeee package but I got 2 words about dis video---WOW and WOW. DAT is deeee same word. No it ant. I spelled it backwards deeee 2nd time dat makes 2 word. Love your videos.
Legit… you nailed Florida!! Take it from a native Floridian! You left nothing out! 😂🤣 You sure you are not a native Floridian yourself?
Even as a resident of Florida for 10 years, I still very much enjoy your series!!! As a side note - Nathan, you should get yourself colorful shirts!!! No-one wears black in the sun here! Get yourself some flamingos, seafood, pelicans, palms t-shirts and more flip-flops! Also, don't forget about Reef Friendly sunscreens to save the turtles. Loving your adventures. Maybe our paths will cross one day too (also FT RV-ers).
Get some Bogo fruits from Publix and cut up ahead of time for the beach time. Mangos.... and Melons are yam!
Get on some Pirate ships (drinks included, usually) or Catamarans!
Stores like Five n Below, Dollar tree, Burlington will have everything you need beach wise.
April to October are the toughest months really... It's so hot! Once the temps drop (around oct/nov), go to Bush Gardens in Tampa, Sea world, Universal or Disney. Those line are not existent plus the weather is amazing.
Nah. Those shirt colors you recommend are corny. He looks much classier in the classic t-shirts he wears.
@@alexfonseca2063 I hope you know it isn’t a serious recommendation)) More like fun suggestions for summer colors :) Everyone can wear whatever they want to 😉
You should check out bay bayou rv resort if you haven't yet we have been here for a year it is awesome
Will do Jason, thanks for the suggestion! Safe travels!
Who has crazier drivers... Florida or socal? I have been erryweerrr.. only TJ is worse than socal
What do you guys do for a living .
Lmao at "the florida man" part of this. As a Florida native, I can attest theres a few FL men in my family tree! 😂😅😂
Just love our state-your new state. If you had reason(s) for leaving where you were-leave those reasons there, and love life here.
Welcome!
Bugs-Homie Juice, all natural, works great.
As a born and raised Floridian, if you’re visiting or moving down here. Don’t try and change it. It’s this way for a reason.
lol you summed it all up what FL is known for lol
Victoria secrete spray works better then bug spray in Florida lol
Lol I keep forgetting to say in St Augustine you guys were sitting on the balcony watching the thunderstorm not really supposed to do that LOL just FYI
How much is the rent per month?!.
8:30 that's because they're subsidized by the government... then ironically most of them are inhabited by Canadians who pay no taxes here
I'm live in Florida bugs problem get rechargeable batteries bug zapper outside bugs are bad dust and dawn in Florida. Remember this you find. Stay away from water area bugs drive out of the area. Dr Retzer
I want to move to Florida. That's a fact. XD
Yea Florida is full. Too many ppl moving here. Travelers like yourselves are welcome though
Publix is nice, but expensive. Winn Dixie has better prices.
Bugs... Skin so Soft oil from Avon.. keeps EVERY bug known to man away n it smells nice..
OMG! i wanna buy a Motorhome
Greatest state in the USA with the greatest governor in US history
I will second that on both points!
Third!
I don’t unfortunately live in Florida but I will agree on both parts!
👍🇺🇲
OK, what's going on? No new content for weeks, just recaps of previous adventures.
I don’t think they had a break in 2 yrs
Entitled
Lol
Dude, it's 96 degrees by 10 am in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON complains about the heat in CR....but we have hundreds of thousands of northeastern invaders saying how HOT it is in Floriduh. Meanwhile, you can stay in Richmond, VA in the summer...and it will be the EXACT same temperature and the EXACT same humidity .....and no one there complains about how "hot" it is in Richmond, VA....with NO sea breeze or cold fronts blasting in with rain to cool the day off. ...maybe if all those that complain about Floriduh left Floriduh completely, the traffic jams would instantly disappear! .......... just sayin..........
I am a little bit disappointed, I hope this channel doesn't turn into a "xx things you should do/ know/ be or whatever". I really liked the videos before.
He said it best as to why people move to Florida, The only thing we Floridians require leave your socialist policies at the border. After all a wonderful beach state is California and they’re more than willing to take in more socialist, Best of all California has no alligators.
I'm done. too much advertising Thanks Anyway.
HEY GUYS, JUST WATCHED THIS VIDEO AND HAD SOME SERIOUSLY IMPORTANT TIPS FOR YOU BOTH! FIRST, I HOPE YOU KNOW THIS ALREADY? YOU PROBABLY MIGHT? BUT MAYBE YOU DONT? I NOTICED IN SOME OF YOUR VIDEOS THAT YOU BOTH USE THE STAND UP PADDLE BOARDS. DUDES! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE ALLIGATORS AND PYTHONS??? FLORIDA IS A SWAMP, AND THAT IS WHERE THESE PREDATORS LIVE! YOU CAN NEVER TOO CAREFUL TRYING TO AVOID RUNNING INTO THEM OR HAVING THEM SURPRISE YOU! BECAUSE IF THEY DO? YOU MOST PROBABLY WONT GET A CHANCE TO THINK ABOUT HOW LUCKY YOU WERE TO GET AWAY FROM THEM! : / SERIOUSLY BE CAREFUL ALWAYS! MAKE SURE YOU EACH HAVE YOUR GUN ON YOU! AND SHOOT FOR THE HEAD! THE SECOND THING I WANTED TO WARN YOU BOTH ABOUT IS YOUR EATING CHOICES! : / DUDES! THE AMOUNT OF MEATS, OILS, GREASE, CAKES AND ALCOHOL YOU GUYS ARE CONSUMING IS A TICKING TIME BOMB FOR YOUR HEARTS, ARTERIES, LIVER, KIDNEYS! IM A CERTIFIED NUTRITIONIST AND HEALTH AND FITNESS EDUCATOR/INSTRUCTOR, AND IM TELLING YOU BOTH YOU ARE TAKING YEARS OFF YOUR NATURAL LIVES BY WHAT YOU GUYS ARE PUTTING INTO YOUR BODY! ( AND DONT GIVE ME THIS " WE WANT TO HAVE FUN AND ENJOY OUR SELVES WHILE WE CAN ) NONSENSE! YOU CAN ENJOY YOURSELVES JUST FINE AND IN FACT ULTIMATELY MUCH BETTER IF YOU EAT AND DRINK HEALTHY! AND YOU WILL LIVE MUCH LONGER TO ENJOY LIFE TOGETHER TOO BECAUSE OF IT! SEROUSLY! DO SOME RESEARCH ON "SATURATED FAT" .. ALSO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THE MOST HEALTHIEST POPULATION OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD FOR THE PAST 20 YRS OF MEDICAL STUDY! ( ITS THE PEOPLE OF SPAIN! WHO CONSUME ONLY PLANT BASED FOODS! ) BORING? WELL, IS MAINTAINING A LOOK AND FEEL OF A TEENAGER WELL INTO YOUR 50s and 60s BORING TO YOU???? I REALLY DONT THINK SO! ( BUT I COULD BE WRONG ) YOU BOTH REALLY NEED TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLE JUICING TOO! OH AND STOP DRINKING THE RED BULLS! : / SERIOUSLY DUDES! DO SOME RESEARCH ON THOSE TOO! THEY ARE LITERALLY KILLING PEOPLE THAT DRINK THEM! THEY CAUSE DEATH, COMA, HEART ATTACKS, STROKE, MIGRANES, ANXIETY, NERVESSNESS, SLEEPLESSNESS! THERE IS NOTHING ( I REPEAT! NOTHING ) HEALTHY OR GOOD ABOUT THOSE DRINKS! THEY ARE FILLED WITH SYNTHETIC CHEMICALS THAT MANIPULATE YOUR BODY TO INCREASE YOUR HEART RATE, AND RELEASE ADRENALINE, GIVING YOU THAT FEELING OF "ENERGY AND ALERTNESS"... ITS NOT HEALTHY, ITS NOT NATURAL, ITS CHEMICALS AND ITS KILLING PEOPLE AND MESSING PEOPLE UP BADLY! DO THE RESEARCH! DRINKING COFFEE IS MUCH SAFER! BUT THE BEST THING TO DO TO KEEP ENERGIZED IS GET ALL THE SLEEP YOU NEED EVERYDAY! AND TRY TAKING "BABY NAPS" WHEN YOU FEEL A LITTLE BURNT OUT! 30-60 MIN BABY NAPS WILL REJUVINATE AND ENERGIZE YOU JUST FINE! LASTLY, I WANT TO SAY BASED ON YOUR CHEMISTRY AND SIMILARITIES TOGETHER????? AND THE FUN YOU BOTH SEEM TO HAVE GENUINELY WITH EACH OTHER? I AM SUGGESTING YOU GET MARRIED VERY SOON! : / WHAT? YES, THATS RIGHT I SAID IT! WHY MARRIAGE??? ( " WE ARE ALREADY MARRIED INSIDE OUR HEARTS " ) OH YEAH??? WELL THAN MAKE IT OFFICIAL! THAT IS WHAT MARRIAGE IS ALL ABOUT! ITS MAKING YOUR EXCLUSIVE LOVE FOR EACH OTHER AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO EACH OTHER, "OFFICIAL" AND "AUTHENTIC"! AND ITS ALSO A CELEBRATION OF YOUR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER! : ) YES! IMPORTANT AND VERY MEANINGFUL THINGS HERE! SO STOP PROCRASTINATING AND FREAKING OUT ABOUT THE "FORMALITIES" OF MAKING THAT OFFICIAL COMMIT TO EACH OTHER! ( DUDE? GET HER A NICE RING! ) PROPOSE ROMANTICALLY! ( DONT LAUGH WHEN YOU DO IT EITHER! ) YOU GUYS LOOK LIKE YOU BELONG TOGETHER! SO... GET MARRIED ALREADY! OK.. THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS, THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORTS ON BEING INFORMATIVE AND BEING ENTERTAINING WHILE YOU DO IT ALL! BE CAREFUL! AND BE GOOD TO EACH OTHER EVERY SINGLE DAY! APPRECIATE EACH OTHER AND KEEP HAVING FUN........ ALL THE BEST TO YOU BOTH!
Ive watched two of OWT videos.....One thing that hits me right away; WADR....I'd like to hear and see Nathan about 90% LESS, and Olivia about 90% MORE! CCC Austin, TX :-))))))
Don’t hate.
Nathan is the man
Nathan rocks!
I don’t like this corrupt state, sunshine state
Lets us know when you are around Tampa. @TorresJourneys
