This popped up on my CZcams options and today is February 12, 2024. I’ve been a follower of your videos for about 2 years, so it was great to see this.
Watching the beginning again.😎
Enjoyed your first video. Following you for 2 years It was a fun experience to watch
Y’all have come a long way since this video.
Been watching for a few months. Love seeing the first one. That is a lot of information to learn. How ca I watch your videos in order from this one.Lots to learn.
On CZcams, if you click are on our main channel, click on “Videos” and the you should see that you can sort them.
Wasn't it hard and stressful to leave that house behind, the known and comfortable environment, driving off into a totally new and uncertain ...? Would be great to see a video from you two with your perspective now after 5 years, about your decision and the process as well as what you would do different, etc. I am enjoying your videos and travels in the Class B !
Absolutely. It was stressful not knowing how it will turn out, much like anything in life…like changing jobs and wondering if it will be better or worse.
But that’s the beauty of taking a leap of faith and feeling good that you at least gave yourself the chance to try it OR end up loving it and feeling so grateful like we do. The sites we have seen alone has made it all worthwhile…places we know we would otherwise never have seen. It brings you closer to God.
Then you have the friendships you make along the way, it’s so much different than a “normal” neighborhood. Even though we work so much, we are still able to feel very blessed for these reasons alone, not to mention the joy the videos seem to bring to others.
Also knowing that others have already been living this way and enjoying the lifestyle helps. Most situations we all worry about are usually not near as bad as we originally think…then we realize we worried about nothing. We all tend to stress about the unknown, which is usually the Achilles heel from doing what we would like/love to do, but too afraid to do it.
Anytime there is something you would love to do, Michelle and I believe it’s best to do it so you don’t live life later wishing you did. You can always go back to the “normal” life. Living with regrets takes a toll on your mind and health. Set yourself free and do what YOU really want to do. 🧡😊🤓
@@LivinRVision , thank you for sharing all of your thoughts and experiences that brought you two to where you are today! You are absolutely correct about worrying and I have to say hubby and I also have taken plunges in our lifetime and all turned out well - not quite as adventurous as you two but all the more I enjoy watching what you share of your life's journey! We will not be full-timers, just occasional travelers but I am so looking forward to being spontaneous , leave for a day or for a few weeks in a Class B ! It will be a little while before we can pull it off but, we also don't want to have any REGERTS ( ole Snickers commercial, LOL)! May the Lord bless you and keep you!
Oh my gosh! We just came across your very first video. We’re going to watch in reverse until we get caught up! I know we’re going to love these too❤
Loved every part of this video!! "Aint nothing wrong with dreaming!!" But your rig is epic too!! 😎👍
Thank you so much!! Just Sub'd to your channel. 👍🏻
Thank you SO much, my channel is mostly how to videos at the moment but we plan to start vlog style videos soon! I subbed to yours as well!!
Just found your channel a few weeks ago. Going to binge watch from the first one.
Welcome! 🧡😊🤓
Ok after several years of watching your videos I’ve officially completed the first one!!
So great to meet you guys and hang out in Quartzsite tonight! Awesome first video!! Look forward to watching more! Take care and safe travels!
EnjoyTheJourney.Life thank you so much for watching!! It was so great to meet you guys as well! As we mentioned...it was your channel that was our very first inspiration and we thank you both SO much for that!! Now that we have created our own channel, we can truly appreciate the inspiration even more, knowing how much time and work is involved.
Congrats on Full-Time RV Life and the first video! Great job! Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks so much Dean!
I watched quite a few and thought I would start at beginning. Did I see this correctly, was "Vinnie" a 9 year old class A?? It was in 2018 and I thought I saw 2009 on description of rig. Sure would be nice to hear $$ how much you purchased/sold Vinnie for. How much was the 2 y.o. airstream you purchased. Not trying to offend just trying to get educated. LOVE the videos!!
Starting at the beginning, watching all your old videos
Oh my, hang in there. 😂
We have never went back to watch any but we can only imagine. 😮😂
@@LivinRVision yeah I like to see where everybody started. Try to understand the whole picture of that makes sense
@@LivinRVision it also helps because it's more the views in for you guys and I always give thumbs up
We are planning to do the same thing! Your videos have been extremely helpful, insightful. Please keep posting…..we appreciate you both! 🤔🤩🥰
SO good to know they’ve been helpful! 🧡😊🤓
Well that was Fun! seein' ya'all as youngins. and Kevin was absolutely spot on for that max current draw setting on the magnum. And, uh.. Pretty damn good editing for your first video. Music, Picture in Picture, warp transitions.. Great Job Brian! But I didn't realize "Call It a Day" by Daxten Wai & Shea was that old! What a great song!
Very excited for you. This was fun.
Thank you! :)
Have never watched your beginning since I found your channel later. It’s very interesting to see your growth as a CZcams couple - what a fun journey!
Started watching you vlog . Decided I needed to start at the beginning
Welcome Patty! 🧡😊🤓 Those videos are a l2 1/2 years ago now, so we hope you can make it through them! 🤪😉 Enjoy the journey along the way catching up. Thank you so much for watching! 🧡😊🤓
Congrats on the first video! And welcome to Full Time RV life! We are still new to it too. We also did lots of calculations on which way is the cheapest way to move stuff from Cali to Texas - for us it was UHaul UBox shipped by UHaul.
Thanks! We sold as much as we could and then took what we "needed" with us. It's been even better than we expected thus far. Really really loving this lifestyle! Hope to see you guys out there sometime soon!
Love these videos! Awesome editing!
Jerry Johnson Thank you so much! :)
What a beautiful coach! Enjoyed the video. Reminds us of our last moments in our sticks and bricks!
Thank you! 😊🤓 We believe you guys started out around the same time we did as well! 😁🤓 Thanks for watching!
Not sure how I found you but am a new subbie and it looks like I'll be binge watching your channel for a while! I want to learn as much as I can in the process of looking for and deciding on what best RV might be right for us. I'm loving all the options you are presenting. Lewisville is close to us but south of Ft Worth are a TON of RV sales floors just waiting to suck us in. Looks like this is gonna be a big task for us. *sigh* All tips and pointers are most welcome! All aboard!!!!! :)
Welcome! 😊🤓 We remember the are you are talking about south of Fort Worth. It’s tough deciding on the “right” rig, because there are so many pros and cons to each. You really need to decide on which floor plan works best for you from the most reliable brands out there and see how it works for you. If you plan to get something that requires you to pull a tow vehicle...we’d strongly suggest having a tow vehicle that you do not have to use a dolly. They can be a real pain in multiple ways. That’s one thing that most everyone will agree with. Everything else...just do your research and find what you like best. 👍🏻😊🤓
Glad you found your RV in our town of Lewisville! Looking forward to seeing your journey of excitement!
Thank you so much! NIRVC is a great place to do business, we highly recommend them! We love the Dallas/Ft. Worth area...I have a lot of cousins that live in the area as well. Thanks again!
Great editing btw! My favorite part was the Driving Miss Daisy insert. lol
@@LivinRVision
@@craftyclarke2514 Thank you! :) Never realized how much work was involved in making these videos! 😱 Haha couldn't resist with the Driving Miss Daisy. lol
Great job for your first video 👍
Thank you! :)
Looks like yall started about same time as we did about 3 years ago buying our first 1974 dodge sportsman to see if we enjoyed it. Remodeled the heck out of it and drove it across america and back and fell in love with RVing
It’s definitely addicting! 😊🤓
Excited for you guys. We hit the road in a few weeks!!!
This is only our 4th week...so excited for you guys and your new adventure as well!
Congratulations, guys!! Welcome to full-time rv life! It’s the best! Isn’t the process of getting on the road such a hard one?! But man, so worth it!
Thanks! Yes it was VERY stressful but as you said...SO worth it! I'm sure there are some people that think we exaggerate when we all say how awesome this lifestyle is, but it truly is. Hope to see you guys out there! The main part of being a content creator is helping others who are interested in this lifestyle, to get started and learn from our ups and downs. That's how we got started. :)
Hello from Iowa!! We stumbled on your channel and I immediately subbed once you guys said you moved from the Hawkeye state. Currently in Grinnell but gearing up to go full time in a few years once the nest is empty. Looking forward to binging your other videos and hope our paths cross at some point!
Hey fellow Iowans!! Excited to hear you are planning to go FT in a few years! Let us know if we could help answer any questions you might have about fulltime RV living. Would be great to cross paths some day! We still have family in Iowa to come back & visit. Take care & thanks so much for the sub & watching! 🧡😁🤓
Congratulations... great job on your first CZcams Channel. Safe travels! 😎
Thank you Alberto Parra!
Wow! Great job guys, excited for you. Happy Trails!
Thank you! :)
Very cool first video. We found you on Instagram. Thanks for the likes and follow. We look forward to watching the rest of your videos.
D
+WestMountain Adventures Thank you so much! 😊🤓 We look forward to following your work and journey as well!
LivinRVision Unfortunately, I have not been able to make any videos recently. My initial remodel is done but not finished. We have moved into the Toy Hauler which makes finishing more challenging. More videos coming soon...I hope.
D
Cool to watch your first video.
That had to be painful 😂
New Sub here, watching from Spain enjoying catching videos from the beginning
Welcome to our channel! We hope you enjoy. 🧡😊🤓
Found your channel through Dan and Jen Nevada. Catching up. 😊👍🏻 I’m from Missouri.
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing to our channel! 😊🤓 Dan and Jen are a super nice couple!
Missouri? Well you’re our former neighbor! 😊🤓🧡
Such fun to see!
:)
Me too. Had to see where you originated from after seeing annual costs vlog.
It does take great courage to sell (most) all your stuff and move into an RV.
Seems like many folks are very concerned with monthly costs, and they are trying to beat sticks n bricks costs.
I believe one cannot escape the financial realities somewhere around $800-1000 per month, not including medical insurance or medical expenses.
Some people do but we definitely were not and are not trying to beat the cost of living in a stick n bricks. It’s very easy to make assumptions though. We chose this lifestyle to get out and enjoy life while we are still healthy and find a way to enjoy life while still working, simply because it’s a much better work environment feeling like you are on vacation even while working. We are now able to be in different places on weekends and some nights after work which helps keep our spirits high. The RV community is also another big perk. 👍🏻
We stayed at Palm Springs last year. It was great. Close to lots of fun stuff.
We love it there! 😊🤓
Congrats on making the leap!
Ken and I are in the process of getting our house ready to sell. We are not storing anything big though, just a few boxes in our shed at our gold mining club camp spot (winters there). Looking forward to more of your story!
Life with Ken and Jane
Good luck with the transition of selling your house. Hopefully it sells fast. We lucked out when our buyers bought most of our big furniture. We still ended up storing more than we thought we would (all the little things and memorabilia). Thanks for watching! 🌴😁🤓🌴
Good luck you two!!
David Reyburn thank you! :)
👉🚐👍Well been down the Class A road 3 times, I think we all think we have to have one so we can say hay-look at ME! We are now back to are second Class B with a C sandwich in 😂. Working on getting some issues resolved, then will be Rettogo! Is that really a word? 😂 If you read this before Thanksgiving “Have a Blessed One! Later
😂 Have a Happy Thanksgiving well! 🦃
Love your channel!
Thank you so much! :)
Lovely coach. I like the Newmar products, but do not like that the newer models have the awning style Windows. Looking forward to following your adventures.
Thanks Jean! :) We like the Newmar’s as well. Thanks so much for you comment and watching! :)
Hey guys,
I just watched this 1st episode for the 1st time. What were your overall feelings about leaving the house to start this journey? Just talked to you at Tampa rv show. We love the channel, and happy travels from james and wendy....
Hi guys! Michelle was terrified and I was excited. That pretty much sums it up. 😂 It is pretty normal to feel scared to sell your house and things and go full time in an RV, but Michelle soon realized there was nothing to be scared about. The way of life is really pretty simple.
Brian, What did you do for a livivg before you hit the road? Also, were you RVers before you went full time?
I worked part time with FEMA on disasters estimating damages and writing project worksheets on roads, bridges, (infrastructure) non-profits, universities etc…and part time at home as a realtor and doing appraisals. I’ve worked a few jobs over the years depending on the market with my real estate license.
We had never owned or even rented and RV before we went full time, we literally jumped in head first and thankfully it all went pretty smooth.
Your videos have always been very nicely produced so i thought you might have had some type of media in your back ground. Both my wife and i really enjoy your editing. You make great travel videos that really draw us in and give really good info on the areas you visit. I am 64, semi-retired, still work part-time in healthcare. She is 57, full-time in banking. We really want to to travel much more. I admire your faith to make the jump to full-time without ever having RVed before. We are RVers, and use a travel trailer. I keep hinting, but there is that trepidation to make life change of that magnitude. We will see. Until then, we will live vicariously through your videos. Have a great day and coming week.@LivinRVision
@@LivinRVision how old were you when you sold all? Is it too late at 59 and 67?
🥰🥰🥰
@HeadWestOn90 never too late if you are able. We started at 52.
we bought a unit that had a lot of wood cabinets n on walls etc so i painted the interior walls mocha and almond white and the trim swiss dark brown to eliminate the woody look and make the interior look more like a house. turned out very well n got rid of all that woody look. you might consider that also. theres plenty of rv reno videos where people have painted the walls n cabinets of their rv and it looks great! check it out!
Yes, we have been contemplating this for a while now. The thing I worry about is the laminated wood areas and how well that will work out. It’s a heck of a job too and trying to find the time with us both working a lot of hours. May end up being a long drawn out project. ;-). Your message however is encouraging me more to do it, which I REALLY am wanting to. Thanks for the words of encouragement! 😁🤓
@@LivinRVision check out those youtube videos of rv makeovers etc they can give you detailed instructions on what products n procedures the used. mine was very easy. i used Home Hardware brand of TSP in a spray bottle..spray it on all wood areas...leave on for an hour wipe off with damp cloth..then with paper towel immediately after that. takes all built up crap off the surfaces. i used behr brand almond color kitchen bath paint. went on super easy but i wd never use it again bc the SMELL of it curing lasted FOREVER ie a MONTH! dont use it...i used behr regular wall paint on my woody bathroom cabinets worked great virtually NO smell much better. keep windows open. small roller used brushes from dollar store fabulous paint. takes two coats. start in obscure area on tsp cleaned surface to see results. put fan on area to dry it quickly. you will LOVE IT!
We just traded our 2017 Entegra Cornerstone after 2 years for a 2018 King Aire at NIRVC in August. We have made a lot of friends at NIRVC , Lewisville and NIRVC ,Lewiston in Georgia and at AIM's. We travel maybe 6 month's a year.. as for the rest of the year we have a home base in Southwest Louisiana where we have several rental homes where we manage the "property managers"so to speak. We are leaving in March for the North Carolina and surrounding areas in order to find a heat escape home base for the times between early summer , summer, and fall.. We wish you the best as it may take a while to learn to adjust as the shoe starts to fit! We are "JurstBurninDiesel on facebook and hope to meet you on the road as well as help with questions. Best wishes for a Happy New year and "Greatest" new adventure.
Congratulations in your Ventana and Stay Safe! Ralph and Debbie
Congratulations on your new King Aire! Those are absolutely beautiful coaches! Enjoy the NC area and we'll be sure to subscribe to your channel. I tried to search that channel name but having trouble finding it. Can you reply with a link? Thanks so much and hope to meet you guys as well! Safe travels!
Congratulations on making the decision for your new journey.
.... thanks for sharing the King Aire walk-through (RV-Porn) 😋
We fantasize about living in something as glamorous as that King Aire 😍! Maybe someday, who knows. 😁🤓
I recently found your channel and have gone back through many of your videos. I have a question that I hope you Brian will not mind answering. Michelle is still working and you are now full time CZcams video production. I'm just wondering what you used to do for a living back in Iowa. I haven't picked that information from any of the videos. I understand if you wish not to share.
Respectfully, Kevin
Hi Kevin, no problem. I actually have mentioned this before in I think maybe a couple videos so maybe you hadn’t watched the videos all the way through. Shame shame shame! 😉 🤪
For the last 10 years prior to us going full time, I worked 2 jobs, one in Real Estate and the other as a Project Specialist in the field of Disaster Recovery. However, I have a background in other fields as well like construction.
New subscriber.
Let me know how you like the Thousand Trails membership
So far we are really liking it. There are SO many different types of memberships that you can get with different benefits/advantages/disadvantages. We'll do an update/video sometime about it once we get more experience with it and all the places to stay throughout the country. :)
Discovered you through EnjoyTheJourney.life. Very excited for you. We hope to be rving in a couple of years. Take care and be safe.
John Dolezal Thank you guys so much!! You will absolutely LOVE it, we are sure! Keep following your vision and it will happen. :)
I've never seen such a complete RV center like this before. Seems like they have they act together !!!
Sounds like you work for them, no? 😂🤣😉 A very complete RV center BUT like most places, in our experience we found that there were a few “bad apples.” It’s very hard to find true honesty at a dealership.
