    I love your channel and you’re advice. I lost my husband 5 years ago to cancer. Since then I have tried to experience life differently. I learned we are not guaranteed anything. Saying that, for the last 3 years I have wanted to hit the road. Now, I know I want an Airstream Basecamp 20x. I’m putting things in order to be able to move forward with this journey. I’ve never pulled ANYTHING, I’ve never dealt with an RV, I’ve really never camped, but in my heart I know this is what I want and that I can do this. My husband told me before he died “ you are strong and you can do anything and don’t forget it when I’m gone”. I will be a solo female with the occasional son and girlfriend hoping on board. Thank you for giving me the push that I can do this! I know I will make mistakes but I will learn.

      We are camping next to a solo female, 50+ something year young woman right now. You CAN do it. You WILL learn. The camping community is VERY helpful. If you need help with anything men and women WILL and WANT to help, all you need to do is ask. You probably won’t even need to ask most times if I see someone struggling, I will offer help. God bless, enjoy your journey.

      Congrats on your decision to hit the road and believing in yourself! I lost my husband 18 months ago and prior to his death we had a dream to get an RV and tour the country in the summers with our teenage daughter before she leaves the nest. As Trish says "we only get 18 years with our kids" which is what propelled the dream that my husband and I had for our little family. With the desire to fulfill the dream and countless hours of watching KYD videos, I purchased a 25 foot class C motorhome and my 15 year old daughter and I hit the road last summer. We traveled to 15 states in 5 weeks and I'm currently writing this on the last night of our six week/17 state "Summer to Remember" 2021 tour. The gems that Trish and Marc provide have been invaluable . Among the biggest have been to "go slow" (especially when setting up at a campsite), "mind the dip" and the RV community are truly the kindest and most helpful people around. Enjoy the journey and feel good about making your dream come true. Best wishes!

    I could totally see Caleb doing a CZcams channel where he visits businesses & interviews them. (Ask them a gazillion questions.) Caleb has an engaging, charismatic personality that really works on camera. He is able to get others talking. He is able to compliment people, get them smiling, and they open up and talk to him. He could ask business owners how they help others, what works, what they've learned, etc.
    A couple of shows that I love to watch Dirty Jobs & How it's Made are both formats that would work perfectly with his personality. 👍

    Thank you both for always being honest, true, and down to earth. I’ve heard both of you say, “start small, start now” for about four years now. It finally clicked on what you were saying and I took the plunge and bought my first camper. It’s a small jayco hummingbird but perfect for me. I’ve been out twice now and the rving bug has now bit me harder. I’m currently trying to figure out a way to change careers to where I can work remotely and start traveling. Thank you so much for your inspiration and your how tos. It’s made starting a lot easier.

Love the touching base about yourselves and all your kid's career ambitions; and providing more understanding behind the purchase of your new motorized BIRD as well as the other RVs you've evolved from and owned. Your guys' statements such as 1) "Start small, start now" and 2) "Sometimes dreams don't look pretty in reality but you're learning and growing from it" are REFRESHING POINTERS!! Well done KYD Husband & Wife Team!!

    Great video! Right after our house sold and we were headed to full time, I started to get scared. We even looked at a rental to stay. My husband made the comment “ if we don’t at least try we will never know. If we hate it and it all falls apart, we will just find a new house and go back.” So glad we jumped it has been an amazing experience! Calculated risks can have amazing payoffs! 🥰

    My wife and I have been discussing an RV for quite some time, we’re getting closer to a decision. There’s so much to consider; full/part time, keep/sell the house, motorhome/trailer, how much space do we need, what do we do with the stuff we don’t use every day, health concerns for two mid 60s persons who think they’re still in their 40s. The list is endless, but we’ll get there.

      Right there in your age group. We got a small RV, she’s a Mini Winnie, 24’. I do the driving. I’ve watched CZcamss and learned a lot of how-to’s. It is doable. We are part timers. I’m heading out in a week to solo drive from SanDiego to Poulsbo, WA. My husband is still working only can do 10days of vacation. He will fly in/out. I’m not staying home and don’t seeing this beautiful country. Starting small and most likely will stay small. Just get started…..GO!

    • @lynnsmith2276

      My husband and I are 60 and 58 with health issues as well. We sold the house, downsized considerably, moved to a 900 sq ft apartment (no yard or house to keep up) and maintain a 10x10 storage unit (we started with a 10 x15) and bought a used RV. For us, it was prioritizing the big issues and solving smaller ones along the way. We also realized we have to do things our way. Our trip to Acadia this summer probably didn’t include all the activities that the thirty or forty somethings did, but we got out there, had some great experiences and made some great memories! We plan to go full time in a couple years when I retire. Best to you both!

    • @hughwolfe1176

      @@lynnsmith2276 We’re both retired so that’s not a major issue. We could downsize a bit, although rentals in our area are typically more than what our mortgage is. Unfortunately we can’t afford to own a home and RV, and without an “exit plan” we’re hesitant to sell the house. I’m thinking a used class C or B+ would “jumpstart” our adventures. I’d really like it if a Jeep could be towed for local exploration.

    Of all your rvs, I can honestly say that “The Bird” and the Airstream are my favorites and I sincerely hope you keep them and enjoy them. Both seem to have a depth of quality that is sorely lacking in so many new ones. If I were your age I would happily try either one, but at 76 I have determined I am more comfortable in a Travato KL. It allows me to use it as a daily driver, a weekender, or a cross country traveler without too much stress.

      Ours too. Two rigs, neither have slides and they are both our fav. Classic look. We never get tired of seeing them.

    It would be better to replace the 3208 cat and transmission with a combination from a late model wrecked bluebird bus. Even though your bus is analog and has a solid Powertrain, the later Cummins 6.7l is lighter and more powerful. The 2000 series Allison has a manual shifter or if you had a 3000 series Allison where the shifter is an electric push button, it can easily be configured to your bus.
    I would not invest money in installing a turbo on the 3208 NA cat. The gain would not be that significant vs cost. The mechanical fuel pump would have to be upgraded along exhaust manifolds, injectors, not to mention cooling system and then the vector aka stall of the torque converter since the torque curve of the engine will change. I work in trucks and busses for a living. Just my input.

    • @joshuakeener4269
      @joshuakeener4269 Před 3 lety +2

      The engine will not last putting a turbo on it when the engine is at 100% load. Not sure if even replacing the engine would be good cause it will cost around 40k to do it. Plus you will now have emissions to deal with.. my best advice is to enjoy what you have.

    • @joshfazenbaker5691

    • @Upliftyourbrothers
      @Upliftyourbrothers Před 3 lety

      Exactly- find a used motor/transmission combo. Or just sell and buy a coach with turbo Cummins.

    • @Bruce-ub8dv
      @Bruce-ub8dv Před 2 lety

      Exactly, it is just below the engine controller in the picture of the engine. Maybe a stuck waste gate.

    Another great video from a great couple who are also a great team. Love you guys - and your kids - so much. As an Air Force veteran whose USAF time formed the foundation for my subsequent career, I hope Carson gets his wish for the USAFA (A very close friend of mine retired from the USAF in the 90s and was one of the senior enlisted superintendents at the Academy). Thank you two for all you have done, both for the RV community and all of us in general. Can't wait to meet you all in person on the road at some point, hopefully in the not-too-distant future. Cheers always from Sacramento.

    We are semi retired and just getting started in the RV world. You have been a huge source of information and inspiration. Entertaining too.
    And yes I got a new F250 diesel because I didn’t want any shortcomings in my tow vehicle.
    Waiting patiently for our Lance travel trailer to arrive from the factory.
    And thanks for the updates on Charlie and the kids.

    We love your channel. We retired last fall, spent three months in FL, went home to SC for three months and are now on a three month trip in MI and WI. You brought up the question concerning real estate and RVing. We would love to hear your experience. In addition to our travel trailer we have our home and several rental properties. We will be happy to share our experience with RVing and real estate if that's of interest to you.

    I've been following you guys for about 3 years now. I'm only about 3 years from retirement and have an ever growing list on my "Want to go" list on Google Maps, most of them from watching your channel. I do RV now but hope to significantly up that RV time after retirement. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Maybe someday I will see you and I will come up and say Hello.

      @brown1william Před 3 lety

    Hi Y'all ! Loving the Wanderlodge!! Look at the Bus Grease Monkey channel. I would call him a Wanderlodge expert although he generally works on Detroit Diesel but he may know where you can get that turbo installed. I believe he is in TN.

    Awesome episode y'all. I was on the road today taking my son's gear to his college because he started band camp. I was driving my new F350 (which I bought because I have been watching your channel since the beginning - new trailer coming later this year). I overtook an old BB Wanderlodge towing a car the same color as yours and I was stoked to honk and wave when I noticed that it didn't have your graphics. I was disappointed, but I honked and waved anyway. Keep doing what you do. It is amazing!

Right now, I am living RVing through you guys, but I hope to one day have a bit of an experience with it although at my age, it might not happen. But a gal can dream! Love watching the kiddo's grow and embark on getting ready for their careers, it's almost like they are all of our children. Love the cook book Trish, it is amazing! Love that you all are so down to earth , friendly and first class all the way. Hugs, Brenda

You guys were one of the first channels we binged watch as we decided to transition to this life style. Your videos have always been so helpful and inspirational. Then we took your, “ How To Start CZcams Channel” course to be able to document our adventures and that course was a God send. Thank you much, Juan & Mary.

  • @cottomsadventuresbryanandt3296

    Thank you for answering the questions we all were thinking about.
    Got your cookbook and am LOVING IT. It’s easy to follow, common ingredients, and delicious recipes.
    We want to thank you for inspiring us. Most of our kids are grown. Five grown boys, two married, and a 17 ur old daughter. We wished we had rv’d when they were all home. Having said that, we now schedule family vacations at a destination with the kids and grandkids. It’s so fun renting an Airbnb and exploring an area together creating memories. We have my 72 yr old mom (supreme nanny) with us and she’s loving all the née experiences. We are in between rv’s. Had a Travato 59K and loved the loved it took us. We are anxiously awaiting our EKKO delivery in January where we can take supreme nanny and our 17 yr old out on adventures.
    Thank you for doing what you do. Inspiring families to live their dreams.

    Great Q&A! It has been a pleasure to watch the transformations in your family and travels. My wife and I have a term we use call (Ridged Flexibility), have a plan but be flexible and most of all don't sweat the small stuff. Take a deep breath and move forward, always. Believe it or not it is healthy to get out of your comfort zone. I will be the first to admit, I like my comfort zone but new challenges always make me feel better. Thank you and keep up the great work.

    Lots of questions we had are now answered-thanks!
    Travel has been an evolution for me and I appreciate the info you’re providing.
    From tent camping off a Harley, to, fixing up a vintage airstream-still in progress. Switching gears to get out there by camping out of a pickup with a cap to explore hidden trails on a dual sport motorcycle. Then swapping the cap for a Four Wheel camper for more comfort in below zero temps and the ability to stand up and cook inside. Then selling that setup last summer to convert a 4x4 Sprinter with a home built interior and all the Battleborn/Victron goodies.
    Variety can be a fun way to find what works for you!
