MAIDEN VOYAGE IN MY NEW HOME ON WHEELS | Nomad | RV Living | Utah

- Join me as I take my new home on wheels on its maiden voyage. This is the next/new chapter of road life having moved out of my truck camper after 3 years of living in it full time. I am now living in a 21ft 2022 Keystone Springdale Mini 1750RD Travel Trailer. There is definitely a learning curve towing as opposed to hauling. This is my first official video living and traveling in the trailer. I explore and camp an absolutely gorgeous area of Utah during my shakedown mission. Come along!

You know Catherine, the quality of your film construction - the camera work, the music, the voice-overs, the editing - always surprises me. It's better than many professional directors. You have a real talent for it.
Thank you so much 🙏
Got to agree. Everything is well done
agreed! it is super.
💯 agree! ♥️
Very agreed.
Also a good cordless drill is a lifesaver for setting the stabilizers! Looks great!
we never us a drill on our stabilizers, its just more fuss and bother, and noisy
Must agree on the cordless drill and your jack. Only way to go.
1/2 drive cordless impact
agree 1/2 18volt drill and you'll be glad you did!!
And it doesn't have to be an expensive one. Makes setup much easier.
Hard to express how happy all of us are to hear that your sister is doing well. I call that Zero-C. Please let her know that every new test shows I’m a bit closer to joining her at Zero-C🥰
Will do and our prayers are sent for you! ❤️❤️
Glad to hear about your sister. I am a 30+ year survivor myself. Breath is hope!
Congratulations on your new rig! I am interested in seeing the inverter/solar setup/install. Thanks for sharing this beautiful country with us!
Hi Catherine, yes please show us the electrical setup of your new home on wheels. I always find that interesting to see. So in advance, thank you.
Lovely video as always! In regards to backing a trailer, here’s a trick that has always helped me. When using your mirrors, turn the bottom of the steering wheel in the direction you want the trailer to go. Makes it simple! 😃
Thanks, as I need help in that department!!
Great to hear about ur sister - prayers have been answered. Be safe, stay healthy and don’t worry about backin up - pick a place, set up some stones/cones and practice, practice, practice. 👍
Thank you! She had so many people praying and yes, they were answered. ❤️
The solar upgrades would be interesting to see. All the best to you
Family is the most important! I'm so happy for you on this maiden voyage! Beautiful views, flowers and gorgeous skies! Bravo Catherine!
Thank you 🙏
Catherine! America is such an amazing country. Thanks for sharing these lovely days with us your loyal fans. 🍀💚🍀💚🍀💚🍀
Dear Cat 2.0😘🍀👍 what an amazing video, and before we forget, special greetings to you sister 🍀✅🙏😘 you definitely did the right decision to change your home 🤩It’s looking so gorgeous, and so cosy. 😚 So have a nice time in Utah, take care on you ✅🍀😘your big Berlin Fan couple, Nicole and Hardy
Cat 2.0! Love it Hardy! 😂😂❤️ Thank you!!
What a memorable trip! Great company, great views, great weather, and great food!! I’m so relieved your sister is doing well, and I hope she grows stronger everyday. BTW, Birdie is purdy! What a good little traveler. Your trailer is beautiful, modern, and peaceful. Don’t forget to mouse proof!!! Best wishes, Catherine!🙋🏻♀️
Thank you so much Teresa. My sister did her first short hike after the filming of this video!! ❤️ We cried happy tears.
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures A "speedy" recovery to your sister, Ms Gregory ....
God's healing in beautiful country. The hike filling her up with love and family with her.
Catherine, I've been following you since you first started life on the road full time. This is so exciting and a milestone for you and your channel. I'm so excited for you. My husband and I will be in Tetons and YS next month and we always get the best ideas and inspiration from you. Thank you you for sharing your sister being okay. I do remember that.
Thank you 🙏! Hope you have wonderful trip! ❤️
I have reviewed your work before, but I have to confess, your photography skills along with your editing and music choices, writing, Voice Over and on camera story telling are over the top. You touch my heart with the way your music fits perfectly with your choice of shots. I love that you are "old school" with how you capture video. Transferring your still photography career into "motion picture" photography just works for your channel! Setting up the tripod, starting the capture, and letting the scene play out to its natural ending is rare to find on youtube . . . but you do that! I can't thank you enough and will find a way to be a patron to support your upcoming adventures. Your maiden voyage is complete! I can't wait to experience what you share with us.
Thank you so much Cree 🙏
I look forward to seeing your videos every Sunday morning,. they are so laid back and serene
I can't get out as much and camp I'm 76 but your videos takes me back to when I had a trailer and camped with my family
thank you Catherine
🙏❤️🙏
Could agree more. Seventies here as well.
I know you, your sister and brother in law had a wonderful trip camping, hiking and riding in the OHV 42 miles. What a beautiful country God made for us to enjoy and share with our family and friends. Catherine, God bless you and your family. Prayers for continued healing for your sister Jill. Praise God !!
Thank you so much ❤️
Great video! So beautiful! So happy your sister is doing so well! I love your new travel trailer! That sunrise!!!!!❤️
Thank you Diane!
The rig you decided on was the perfect size and weight class for your truck and gives you the ample room that you need to do your videos and living space. Very happy for you keep up the great videos.
Congratulations on the new rig Catherine-wise choice of a shakedown and with good company to boot-glad to hear your sis is doing okay-thanks for sharing,-hey you could really use a mountain bike hitch on the back of that camper now for some exploring options
-just a suggestion.
Thank you! I might do that. :)
Congrats on getting the first trio under your belt! I'll bet it was freeing to be able to unhitch and then be able to take *just* the truck out and explore! Beautiful scenery as always! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Kat ,
I know that solar is amazing, but a small and quiet generator to run the air conditioning is really nice. With the current set up they are not hard to deal with. Far more affordable than building solar that might briefly run AC.
No question about it.. generator would be essential for those hot days and just for general usage and charging batteries etc.
Who builds a solar system to power an air conditioner even briefly?
@@larrywiddis470 Just run a search on CZcams. There are a number of people and rigs that have systems that work. They are all brutally expensive. It takes a lot of solar.
@@dirtwheels6679 , they are "odd balls" who built the system for the curious to view, not to really use.
I am so sorry to hear of your sisters situation. Please tell her to keep her chin up and to keep her faith. As of today I am + 30 years in remission with a non-Hodgkinson condition. Cancer can be beaten
Will do and congratulations Dave! Thank you 🙏
Can I give you some advice? Please measure your trailer height & width and keep it on your visor. I have watched others get in a pickle.
Would love to see how you install the inverter and do more with the solar. Beautiful video.
WOW, Beautiful scenery, the whole video, the view from your windows alone was worth the the “home” swap. I live the new trailer. Thank you for the adventure. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 🚐
Oh my, loved the grill fare prepared in those fabulous locations. Thanks for making my early morning such fun before I head out on my hike !
The mirrors with the added touch is right up there with redgreen shows tips . Love it stay safe stay healthy ...
It’d be cool to see the install of the inverter. Are you gonna get a topper or bed cover for the truck to store some more stuff? Great video. Are the tires pretty good on that trailer? Yes it’s new.. but some times the dealers put cheaper tires on trailers and don’t hold up on dirt/gravel roads. Safe travels.
Excellent suggestions !
Agree on this one. My UTV trailer came with total crap tires. I've had good results with Maxxis trailer tires.
So glad that you love your new home. I love the size of my ( 25' ) trailer. I can go into so many more places in the back areas. The great thing is when you park; you have your truck to explore the surrounding areas.
Living the dream!
Yes, please share the power upgrade installations ☺️
Just being able to take a shower is a huge benefit of your new home. Congratulations on the new digs Cat.
Yes, we'd like to see the solar installation.
Congratulations on your maiden voyage. Wonderful that you were able to do it with family. 🙏 for continued health for your sister.
I would love to see the solar set up.
Thank you Theresa! ❤️
Your videos bring peace and beauty into my life, thank you.
Southern Utah "Rocks!!!" In addition to Hwy 95, Utah Hwy 12 and Notom Rd. will knock your eyes out!!
So good to see you putting the new rig to use, looked like a fun trip spending time with family. Like you, I think US 95 is a beautiful drive, and there are lots of fun canyons along there. Continued good luck with the trailer.
I’m so happy for you! More space, comfort, and your truck looks so sleek! The ending few minutes of this video, with your photography coupled with the music, was special. It’s beauty actually brought a tear to my eye. Thank you!
I HIGHLY recommend getting new tires for the trailer straight-away. Those RV manufacturers use cheap rubber that are almost like balloons. Notorious for blow-outs and you only have ONE axle. (Speaking from experience).
I feel for your sister and her husband. My wife got brain cancer and passed away three months after discovering it. That. was a little over nine years ago, but I am still very sensitive to others having to go through what we did! I took her to radiation and chemo every day and she faced it like a trooper. They told us we should have one and a half to two years with no chance of survival. We had three months and then she was gone!! HELP YOUR SISTER AND HER HUSBAND ENJOY EVERY DAY THEY CAN BECAUSE EACH DAY MAY BE THE LAST!!! It is great she has a sister like you!!!
What q wonderful trip. I wish I had such a loving family. I'm so happy for you! It would be interesting to see about the inverter and solar on a vid. Birdie is so cute too. Take care...
Great to see you enjoying your new home and taking advantage of time with family. Sounds like you have adapted well to pulling a tag-trailer.
Thank you so much Ken! So far, so good. 🙏
You will do fine. Just be aware of big trucks passing you (from behind on multi-lane highways) at high speed, they can move you around so just be aware.
I'm also one of those who can't hike far at all, but i'm also one of those people who could never afford a side by side lol so i live vicariously through you Kat.
I really hope you enjoy your new rig. It looks like it s perfect for you not too big to manage. I am so happy for you! Your videos are so beautiful and maybe the best on the internet. Please be safe, and see you next time. Your friend in Pennsylvania. Bob. You make me want to hit the road. I am getting too old. Thanks again.
Glad you all had fun Catherine! Beautiful country out there. Thank you for bringing us along!
What a wonder maiden voyage. Whatever doubts I had initially because of my love for your old rig were quickly dispelled as soon as I saw that panoramic view from your dining area. Congratulations on the new rig and look forward to all of the future adventures!!!
Thank you Ross!
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures I'm not sure if you've made the decision whether or not to film your solar and inverter setup but I would love to see that in one of your videos.
Whatever you do---don't forget you're towing something!~😊
I usually never cared for desert country,I love my forests.but yourcamera work brought it to life.i saw true life colors.you look so comfy in your new home and I am happy for your sister and that they could spend time with you.the pup is cute,but I think you could use a travel companion like that too,maybe someday.maybe someday,I too,could see the beautiful places you show us.i follow on a map for now as and save your videos to a trip file.
Well done. I'm glad you are loving your new home. You have taken me places that I would never have gone otherwise. I didn't think Utah had much at all in beautiful places. Thank you for showing me that I was wrong.
Logan's pass area and many more...
I’m so glad that Jill is doing great! PS-congratulations on your beautiful new rig.❤️🥰🙏
Thank you so much Jules!
Beautiful. Looks like your sister's dog isn't as camera shy as she is. 🙂
I would love to see a video of tweaking the solar system on your rig. There have been a lot of advancements in products for solar over the past handful of years, and pricing has really come down. I watch Will Prowse's solar channel (and forum), he is so knowledgeable and helpful with all things solar. If you haven't checked out his YT channel (or book), it's definitely worth a look. :)
You need to camp with them more often. That looked like a lot of fun going off road and I'm sure you enjoyed having someone to eat with. You had a Convoy!
Looks like you chose the right home for you!
Cat, I’d like to see the installation of the inverter. That would help me get a clearer picture on the best install location in a rig. Always glad you can spend time with family. That’s what it’s all about! Beautiful scenery, sunrise and sunset. Looking forward to more exciting trips in with your knew home.
One of my favorite areas of Utah. Many areas to explore around the Henry Mountains. Did you see any Bison? Always an escape for me watching your videos. Thank you.
No. We didn’t see any Bison. Lots of cattle though. lol
I used to love visiting that area probably in the late 90's. I had a pop (canvas then a-frame) and would either boondock or stay at Lonesome Beaver, McMillan and even Starr Springs once. I've even been up to the old Wolverton mill location. The mill is now in downtown Hanksville at the ranger station.
So Happy for "Cat", and it looks like you're happy also, almost, "I can't believe it" happy. And I can believe it, to look out in comfort and joy at the sunset across the mountains is a dream-come-true. Don't forget to get the (still) photographs and keep an eye-on-the-road. Do I think you'll miss the cab-over, I don't think so. So happy; Happy Trails.
I love the views of the American West, particularly Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. Your videos are a good replacement for when I cannot travel. Your new home on wheels appears to be very comfortable.
You are such a joy! Can’t tell you how much we enjoy you and your fabulous videos. Thank you so much from two seniors who can’t do much anymore.
Thank you for this beautiful video you make America looks Great Again 🇺🇸🇨🇦🖖🏻live long and prosper
I used to use the extended mirrors as well on my 4Runner pulling my 21 foot. I installed a camera on the back of the roof and now I don’t need the mirrors at all. It will take you a little bit to get used to pulling that trailer through all kinds of conditions but I’ve only been pulling one for five months and I’m already used to it. Keep rocking Cat!
Congratulations on your trailer, It seems perfect for you. We just traded in our 24ft TT for a 23ft Class C. I am now able to drive more easily and I don't have to hook and unhook a trailer. I am a 70 yr old woman with bilateral total knee replacements and the Class C doesn't require me to squat or knee to do anything like the trailer did. I am looking forward to watching your travels. I have my travels up with the trailer at this time but I will soon show my Class C.
Wow! Loved the sunsets the best, also your wonderful new rig, & all the scenery. I loved the previous Utah video so much that I bought one of your Utah national park photo tee shirts & love it! I know you will continue to enjoy your journeys, especially now that you have your new toy. Have fun & enjoy. Thanks for the free ride, Catherine. Love every minute. ♥
MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE OUT YOUR TIRES ASAP ON THE TRAILER! Get good ones!!
I was excited,....that was fun! Thank you so much!😊👍👍
Be careful snakes 🐍 love your new RV
StereoSpace..I 100% AGREE. Catherine is an ARTIST!
Praise God that your sister is cancer free. Congratulations on your first trip in your new home. Really did enjoy it. Any video you post is good. Blessings
Beautiful sites and shots and a beautiful smile great way to start a morning with a cup of coffee
Thank you for taking us along. I really enjoy your filming. Beautiful scenery!
I love it when your voice and subject turns into full travelogue mode. The future will be (with us confined in our homes for one reason or another) virtual 3-D travelogues (imagine skimming over D-Day machine gun bunkers at
I think that seeing that much beauty on a daily basis must stretch your soul. ✌️🙏🕊
It does! ❤️
So very happy that new home on wheels is working out for you. Blessings to your sister who has been cancer-free now. I love Utah and what you have shown us does not disappoint ... absolutely stunning!!! How wonderful to enjoy those days with your sister & brother-in-law and their doggie Birdie ... so very special. Thank you for sharing it with us and by all means fire-up those videos about the power inverter. Have considered getting a 'Jackery' ... it seems to be a great solar generator for all nomads.
Awesome Catherine and watching enjoying now and beautiful country ❤ and colorful ❤ sweet Catherine and your videos are great 👍 👌 😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😃😎❤awesome video ❤
I forgot to tell you to film the solar install. I will be very much interested. Thanks Bob in Pennsylvania.
Someone may have suggested this already but you may want to get a hitch lock for your trailer. You could leave it parked without worrying about someone taking it while you're on an adventure. We got ours at Etrailer. They have all sorts to stuff to make trailer life easier. I have no affiliation, just a very happy customer. We LOVE your videos. Thank you for making them available.
Your truck has a slight but noticeable smile. Your setup in general looks more comfortable and practical, good move. All boats and vehicles should be named, what is your trucks name? And what are you going to name your ground vessel home? Maybe a vote? Love your show, happy trails 👣
A vote could be fun!
Awesome video Catherine and prayers for your sister's recovery 🙏 ❤️.
Your photographic talent is such a gift and inspiration for us all. It allows a moment for a breath and larger prospective of this present moment. Thank you!
Thank you 🙏
Wow magnificent scenery it was a spiritual lifting for me my dreams are to get on the road I will be traveling with two animals just got to make sure we're all safe while you have a good night happy trails
Nice icebreaker voyage.
Thanks for the glimpse into your nomadic adventures.
Be safe...have fun...enjoy the moment.
Greetings from Winnipeg Manitoba and good morning nice to see you are enjoying your new trailer have fun be safe and thanks for another great vidio 👍👍⭐⭐🚐⭐⭐🌹🌹
Like your new digs! A note on backing up with your trailer...it has served me for decades (in my 70's)...place your driving hand on the bottom of your steering wheel...move your hand left to move the trailer left, move your hand right to over your trailer right while backing up!
Beautiful scenery. I finished my cancer treatments a month before everything closed down because of Covid. I am still in recovery as well and am cancer free. I have appointments in a few weeks to check on things. I had stage IV colon cancer. I'm happy your sister is doing well.
Oh Catherine...a beautiful maided voyage indeed. It is always a good Sunday for us when you start our day. Thank you. Great news about your sister also. We love seeing Birdie too. We wish you could get a good dog as a companion on all your adventures. Stay well.
Good to see you got out of the snowy cold weather. Happy travels!
Hite, a most beautiful and isolated spot of wilderness in 1963 when we camped there. The only way across the river was a cable trolly. I wish you could have seen it then.
Backing is easy if you'll use that old truckers' tip. The direction that the bottom of the steering wheel is going is the direction the trailer is about to go.
Good morning Cat! A rare beautiful Sunday morning here in NOVA. First, great news about your sister, Jill! Two years cancer-free is excellent. I never stopped praying for her as cancer has touched my own family. I'm sure she's been in the prayers of many over these years. PSE tell her to take it one day at a time. Let them add up! And, that a positive attitude is a good start. Cancer can be conquered! Have faith. As for the video, this is, once again, your best yet. As much as I love the Eastern Sierra Nevada, I have to say that Utah is the most beautiful state of the "lower 48". I think that tells you which one I think is tops, LOL! Once again, it's not just the videography. Your music always seems complement the visual content. This one was a serious winner. Definitely do a video showing the solar and inverter upgrades. Especiallly how to do it safely. More people get killed off 120 VAC than any other voltage level. May Almighty God, continue to Bless, Guard, Guide and protect you in your journeys! 73
Thank you so much John! 🙏❤️
Thank you for sharing the sites I injoy mornings. And sun sets .cowboy john norco California horse Town USA 🇺🇸
Yep, after being treated to the sunset and sunrise pictures, those windows you have are priceless. 🥰
Wow that Highway 95 is so amazing
A Good Sunday morning to you and your family from Big Sur Cali Cat! I always look forward to waking up happy with my freshly grounded roasted coffee in hand; sipping off its pipping hot goodness while also drinking it in my favorite cup; laying back listening to your music selections and watching the GRAND of everything wild unfolding and shared through your perspective lens. Thank you for your time creating them with such care and simplicity.. Your voice IS Sunday morning- it's the kind of voice that offers reading one to get nspired AND escaping at the same time!
💌
❤️🙏❤️
Hi another magic video the scenery just stunning thanks🙏 for sharing, would like to see how the solar is set up, take care stay safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks, your change to the travel trailer interns me because my wife and I take monthly trips in a 22’7” trailer without a slide.
Awesome!!!...
Thanks I needed this
Awesome
Sooooooo excited to see this virgin journey! Thank you MUCHLY! 👍👍oh wish you lingered longer on your breakfast because of the view from all those wonderful windows!
Yay!
How exciting
