  • Forget cramped caravans, these luxury camping cars are more like palaces on wheels. Terri and Richard’s is the size of a bus, complete with made-to-measure marble kitchens and bathroom, extendable surfaces and heated toilet seats. It cost over $2 million but enables them to escape the heat of Florida every summer for Michigan. They’re what’s known as ’snowbirds’, spending seasons living in other states.
    On average, snowbirds change their cars every two years, turbocharging the luxury van market. The market is also boosted by Hollywood stars. Mariah Carey's features side extensions and an unfolding second floor that can be transformed into a dance floor! Other camping cars come with a helicopter pad on the roof.
    Over a million Americans have adopted the ’nomad’ way of life. Some, like Richard, are ‘part timers’, travelling for a few weeks alongside their work. Others, like, Jennifer and JR, who live aboard their bus with their two children, have left their old life behind completely and embraced life on the road.

      At the same time he can EASILY buy himself a wifi booster that he can stop ANYWHERE and with a secure login, do ALL of his work from anywhere at anytime. He's choosing to be angry because he thinks it's not cutting edge technology enough (idk, mebeh?). This has been around for quite a while. I have a friend that camps at an event that is way off grid and can use his booster, and log on to the next major tower (bypass smaller towers) and work in the middle of nowhere the entire day without disconnects or lag. If they are already rich enough to afford the "lifestyle" that is dependant on dad's work, they are ABSOLUTLEY rich enough to add a booster OR TWO to be able to connect to their income without stress.

      @mandrews1245 Před 7 měsíci +19

      I think he was stressed before he got on the road. He might have wanted to get away from his 8 to 5 job and imagined being on the road as his escape. But the problem is inside of him. His belief system where he is totally responsible for everything having to do with his wife, children, dogs, etc. is a lot of weight this man is carrying around on his shoulders. He seems to think as the man, it is only his duty to provide. That's why he is so angry when there is no wi-fi. She thinks it was a family decision. He thinks she didn't explain it well enough and now he is pissed off. He hasn't learned to share the pleasures and responsibilities with family members. He must make every decision, no matter how big or small. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't let her drive.

      I shop at Macy’s all the time. It’s the only place I can get jeans that come in a “short” length rather then having to trip over “regular “ length or just not buy “petite” which are made for women who are smaller. But in all the years I’ve shopped there I have never come across a head of lettuce. Or a carton of eggs!

      The adrenaline surges he faced that day were pretty awful. Given his work required internet access, the tree branch incident could have been a disaster and the fear of the near accident because of that little car and I get it. I think most people with that many adrenaline surges all on one day would probably have been far more vocal. The work one was a total disaster and a perfect reason to have to move. And then to have to face getting back out of there? I think he handled it pretty well. Thank goodness the damage was only cosmetic, on the tree branch incident. I’ve had serious damage on a much lesser motorhome far from home. Not pleasant at all and I only had me to be concerned about. Just checked my own heart rate. It's up just thinking of his day. LOL

    Most states in the US require a CDL if the motorhome's GVWR (weight) is 26,001 lbs or more. This is why "most" motorhomes sold here have a GVWR of 26,000 lbs. It has nothing to do with the number of axles, size of tires, type of fuel, or whether you're towing or not.

    Kudos to them to have all that. I don't know if, even if I was that rich, I could justify having that much opulence. Marble floors? Not just no, but hell no. That TV is what I call a neck wrecker. Have to watch from a sideways seated position and it's tiny. My $7,000 coach has a 49" TV in it thanks to a pull down window shade opposite the couch and a mini projector that I installed myself. Cost under $100. LOL Since I used a light filtering window shade, I can do rear projection and display video loops visible through the window which is great fun at holiday time.

But never groceries. Supermarkets like Walmart sell everything, food, clothes, shoes, appliances, electronics, Garden supplies, automotive supplies, and automotive service.

    Pet peeve: when the driver had to brake for the truck that stopped he didn't slow down. He assumed the guy would turn rather than be careful and slow down in case he did have to stop. Just keep plowing on. And his anger needs to be worked on. Crap happens and the branch hitting it wasn't the end of the world like he portrayed.

      I agree (being a retired OTR truck driver that had a class A license for 10 years driving team with my husband). I observed JR driving WAY too fast on the narrow two lane hwy. and NOT driving defensively when he had to avoid the stopped vehicle turning left on the hwy. He was following too closely to control his stopping distance. I believe these RV drivers should be required to have a class A license in order to be trained and tested for safety reasons.

      I’m fully licensed to drive anything up to 40 feet in length. In the USA my British driving license is recognised for driving any length of vehicle.
      Personally I believe it’s not safe just to practice for a couple of hours before hitting the road. I’d prefer to take lessons over a few days to include the basics of maintaining the vehicle in the event of a breakdown. It’s irresponsible to be driving such large RVS without any experience nor the ability to change a fuse or a tyre. The one thing that really bothers me is seeing all these luxury motorhomes and possibly one fire extinguisher 🧯 Your going to need one every few feet especially in bathrooms where there’s no exit. Too many people have died or been seriously injured due to fires 🔥 in my opinion.
      It’s a fantastic lifestyle and good to see that prices are plummeting and the latest models are not selling without very substantial discounts. Those covid days are over and the cutbacks are reflected in the quality or lack thereof and good quality support and spares. I’m suggesting that a number of the top manufacturers are heading towards bankruptcy. Just wait for the bubble to burst 💥 and then negotiate hard. New models are not selling.
      Embrace the experience and be safe.

      ​@@Jammie90very sad and selfish, they could've reconstructed the living area so to expand extra space for the kids, it's messed up, the parents always have a big bedroom with a big bed but stuff their kids in a matchbox and take away their toys smh

    Simplicity is happiness.Life is meant to be enjoyed♡ but this seems like too much responsibility,complicated, expensive,& not relaxing.I will stick to my 12 person tent,air mattress,open fire,nature,& relaxation..no stress or headache. A mobile home would be nice but I couldn't deal with all of the added stuff. They are lucky enough to be able to travel & afford these beautiful motor homes. Safe journeys

      I agree. I used to wonder why people in these rvs bothered to leave home. Cooking inside and watching TV. Missing out not having a tent and a campfire with a secluded creek nearby.

    damn, way to many judgmental people watched this video, holy crap, have you ever heard the phrase "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all" either jealous of their success or some other issues going on, let people live how they want to, it doesnt effect your life. i hope the best for everyone in the video and in this comment section, being judgmental like this just spreads hate, and there is to much of that going around!

    Petoskey area is beautiful, some of my family comes from there.... Who's needs luxury homes, I'd live in a tent there and be happy. Until it's below zero Temps, that is, then I'll take the van alright!

    Ideally, the maximum length would be 35-feet as that is the length limit for RV parking spots in State & National Parks. They are also easier to drive due to reduced length and weight. The biggest pain about owning them is water usage. You have a limited amount of potable water and you generally have two waste tanks, gray (sinks, showers, etc) and black (toilet). You have to periodically dump and refill with water. My RV only has a 230-gallon black tank and 230-gallon potable tank. Power can come from either the main engine alternator, a diesel generator or plugged into a power port (50-amps, but can run reduced at 35-amps).
