Transcript

We're the Essary family and we're exploring America one destination at a time on this episode of TravelEssary We are going to break down how we are choosing the right RV for our family. Let's chat. 

Welcome and thank you for joining us on this episode.  This is going to be a little bit different than anything that we've ever done before, as we are specifically going to be talking about. What we're looking for in an RV. And  while you're choosing the RV. That we are getting. And I want to preference this with, there are so many different floor plans. There are so many different styles. 

There are so many different, , manufacturers. Makes models. Your models. So many, so many,  from a class, a, B, C bumper pool, fifth wheel.  And then you have all the different floor plans to go along with it. You have all the different amenities that depending on your lifestyle and what you're looking for.  Is going to determine what is best suited for you. 

So this is what is best suited for our family at this current moment. Now it could change in five or six years or two years. It could change at any point in time.  When we looked at all the different floor plans and everything that there was out there that they offered.

It did get a little overwhelming until we started really breaking down what we wanted. Yeah. And also for all of you, people who like to be super technical, I know Jeremy does sometimes, where are you going to call it RV? I actually learned the other day that RV stands for recreational vehicle, which I knew, but that is very specifically, once you drive. Did you know that I didn't know that. We'll camper trailer is what you call something. 

You pull. Which I didn't know that, but we're just going to call them all RVs. For the sake of not having to say camper trailer or something the whole time. We definitely don't want to say camper trailer for the next 50 minutes or so. Put them all in one category, we do know RV is something you drive, but you know what. For the sake of this podcast, we're going to call all. Trailer slash drivable. Recreational. 

Things RVs. 

And so that's just going to help us break it down and also help you just kind of. Understand 

on a simplistic level. Just kind of a basic overview of everything, because even if we were looking at , the campers.  And we were looking at the RVs. We were looking at the actual, you know, motor home motor homes. , the abs and CS, all of them had something different that we were like, Ooh, that'd be nice to have all. 

That'd be great. And we're also going to put this in an, I think we can get away with it.  Is The schoolies. Oh, yes.  Those that have taken vehicles and they have repurpose them and made their floor plan and laid it out. However they chose to do it. Well, we have to talk about a school aid because that was actually our original dream. 

That was our original plan. Concept. It was to get a tartar bus. And specifically a charter bus. A lot of people take school buses, which is totally cool.  Aye. Specifically was looking for space for all the necessities that you can carry things on. And whenever you look at Greyhound buses or you look at those charter buses, they have the already built in underground staff are under carriage. Yeah. So our original plan was to do that and to convert it into.  An RV essentially, but the more we started looking and.  We had another child.  We did. Yes. Yes, this predated Jasper coming into  this was before other two were even teenagers. And we were looking to put in the time and the effort to rip everything out. Go in there rebuild everything. Close off windows that we wanted to, we actually have seen some schools or charter buses. That, um, they put in their own slot outs.  And so, I mean, , we were looking at all those things going, oh, that that's possible. 

And.  It's definitely a little bit cheaper.  All the other options, a lot more work for sure. But a lot more work, a lot more dedication. Yeah. You even had plans drawn up and everything of like how we wanted it, but of course we had another child. And it's just, you know, Your space is so limited in a school because you have no slide outs. And then, uh, the more we looked into stuff and the more we stepped inside of fifth wheels. It was almost a no-brainer it was it, but I don't want to say it was fifth wills were overwhelmingly.  Like the absolute go-to because we looked at some class A's. That we're like, oh my gosh, this would be amazing. 

Or even some bumper pools because they've just gotten a whole lot better with their Florida design of going, oh, you know, these are pretty good. But then you start looking at the details. Yeah. And you look at the finite things of, well, wait a minute, this really doesn't work the way that we, we pictured it to work. , the actual ality of it working is a little bit different. Then what we were dreaming or what we thought the concept was. 

And not only that, I mean, A lot of those are great for travel, even for a family of. We'll do five or six.  

Not so much for what we want and we need for full time living. The full-time living. And so we had to get a home. , and we have,  to separate that mindset of this isn't a weekend or a week. Camper. This is something that's going to be full time. Moving from point a to point B. And steal having to carry.  Our house and everything that we own. Because our location changes, but our space does not. And so.  After stepping into fifth wheels for the first time. But that's not true. I mean, I've, I've been into, you know, your uncle's fifth wheels and stuff before.  But none of theirs are near the size of some of the ones that we went and experienced. For the first time and after. I walked into two and three bedroom, fifth wheels. 

My mind was just blown and I knew that this was the way we had to go because it enabled everyone to kind of have their own space. And the storage was just unprecedented. Yes. And it definitely opened up our eyes. Whenever we went, we looked at different ones because the ones that my family has, or mainly. They have the main.  Sleeping area. The main master.  And they might have a bunk, but usually they're just, they're just pulling out a couch. Yeah. 

Yeah. So it's not set up for nobody has two bedroom ones. Sleeping areas. It's just.  Because the way that their life is, is it's just the couple going, traveling. So for their kids and grandkids, once a year, once a year, that one of the family reunion, something of that nature comes along. And so you put them on a couch. You get up in the morning, you throw all the bedding away and then you're off for the day. 

So it's not something that they're living in the whole time. Of course, we did have a two bedroom travel trailer when the kids were small. That we lived in. Yes.  It still did not have anywhere near the space of a fifth wheel. It had a little bit more open floor concept.  But with that concept came like zero storage. 

Yeah. Like the kitchen. I remember. Had like two cabinets.  And a tiny bridge. Yes, because it was just to the side. I think that's another reason why I have fallen in love with your bigger, larger fifth wheels, your family size fifth wheels. Um, or not even just that just almost all the newer models they have, like residential sized refrigerators and some of them even really decent sized ovens and now washer and dryers as well. 

And you don't get that in almost any other recreational vehicle,  and we have learned, I mean, Um, there will be people that will comment or think while they're listening to this, you know, don't get a fifth wheel because dah, dah, dah. And, you know, we have really looked into those. For instance, you're not going to be able to take a large fifth wheel into a national park in most state parks. 

They're not going to fit. You're not going to be able to overnight in them. Um, and we're okay with that. Right.  Because of the fifth world, because the link that we're looking at. It's usually anywhere around 35, maybe 36 feet. Yeah, that's kind of their cutoff. Because pushing. And that's pushing it. And that's just because of the amount of space that they have because they're working with certain rules and regulations that set forth by, by other people.  But whenever you start looking at just your typical places that you can stay in, you know, , the RV camps and things that are specific for those. The 40. Two's the 46 is you can fit those in most places for bigger rigs. 

And, and we're okay with that. , we can go somewhere close  to those state parks and national parks and visit them like get day passes for them. We don't have to overnight. We're okay with that. Because I would much rather our home, so to speak, fit our needs more than where it's located.  And the reason that we are. Getting  the RV that we're getting is because it is something that we will be living in.  365. 

Yeah. Until we decide to upgrade. So we decided to upgrade or until God pushes us in another direction. But the main thing that we were looking at, there's different aspects of every part of it that becomes a huge factor. , it may seem small, but for us it became a huge factor that, okay. Hey. We need this and this and the kitchen area. 

We need this in this, in the living room. I feel like you definitely have a way larger checklist than I do.  I feel like my checklist is much smaller. However, those few things that I have, I'm very adamant about.  Right because we know of either already living in. An RV. Or the amount of camping that we've done, or the amount of research that we have done. It's like, these are kind of big deals. 

Yeah.  Although you may not think about it originally. It becomes a big deal. Like the refrigerator. Yes. I need a big refrigerator. It's not something that, Hey, we just need a week worth of food. Family of five. Have a family of five. Yeah. I'm going to need a little bit more. So having the more of the residential. As big as we can possibly get the refrigerator. Yeah, because in our travel trailer, Um, we couldn't even put a gallon of tea in it. No.  We get the milk in there and we get a little bit of juice for the children. Yeah, we could get like half gallon of milk, gallon of milk. That's all you could fit in there because you, you couldn't really fit anything. 

Other than that.  While we were living in it. And the freezer was laughable. It was a teeny tiny little box. You couldn't fit more than two or three bags of vegetables in it. Maybe a box of chicken nuggets. And that's about all. You can fit into it. So having a big fridge is, is definitely one thing that we were looking for. Yeah, something that is. Is almost on the, yes, no list. If it doesn't have a big fridge, then it's a no. It doesn't have to be like a big residential sized. 

Um, but I definitely don't want your typical old school. Like RV style refrigerator. Yes. I have seen , some smaller versions of what we have in our house that I'm okay with.  They're not. Huge resin. We have a massive refrigerator. We have a big refrigerator. In our home, but I'm okay with downsizing that a little, because we can fit like a month's worth of groceries in our refrigerator at a time and still have.  

Yeah. I don't necessarily need that, but I do want to be able to put a gallon of milk, put a gallon of tea. I want to be able to not have to grocery shop for a whole week, at least , in those tiny ones with a family of five. Every other day I'd be at the store. And so , that is something that  we definitely are trying to, to check off the, make sure that we have, oh, it's a definite must for me. So , we definitely don't want anything small because , we've dealt with that and we don't want to deal with it again.  Other things that we looked at inside the kitchen specific , is two more things. Pantry is the pantry. We need a pantry that is big enough to hold enough food for us because we planted. You know, move every two to four weeks. And so inside that span, we really only want to go to the grocery store like.  Yeah, we don't want to keep on going every week to try to pick up a week's worth. 

So it needs to be able to hold the snacks and all the necessities that we need in order to cook, you know, the rice and the beans and all that other stuff. . And, you know, we have lived. Up to 30, 35 minutes away from the nearest grocery store before, or the nearest large grocery store. , we lived on a five acre farm and everything and had chickens and goats. 

And for years now, I have been so used to buying in bulk. Yes. And, and keeping like flour, sugar, salt, things like that into those five gallon. Food containers. And that's how we have lived for over 10 years now. And I have to drastically downscale that, but I still want to be able to do it. 

Like Jeremy said, to an extent where I don't have to go get those things more than say once a month.  And , I do need a relatively decent size pantry. And most of the newer ones, a lot of the newer ones are. They definitely have taken that in consideration. They've heard people speak about. The pantry space.  

Um, more families are in RVs now, not just retired, right? 

People, you do have a lot more large families that are  either full timing. Or just traveling more frequently. And they are. You know, hearing the needs of that community because that community is growing every day. Another thing that we're looking at that is just like the cherry on top of the pantry. Is if they're movable shelves.  That's not an. Deal breaker, but that's just the cherry on top, because if you can move those, then. You determine where your shelf skill based upon your needs and what you are putting on those shelves. If not, we'll just take them out and put in our own. I mean, there's a good chance that we're going to have to do some remodeling anyways. Yeah, for sure. And so like, The layout. There's no hard. Definite yes, we need this or no, we don't need that.  It's whatever is going to work with the rest of the RV that's there, which leads us into the living space, which is my biggest. Item.   There's so many different layouts. Yeah. There's so many other things that you can do with it. We've seen people take things out. We've seen them put things in. We've seen people love.  One couch. We've seen people love to couches. People have fallen in love with the three couch concept, , but what we're really concerned about is how much seating does our living space have? Yeah. The living room is the heart of our home. It's where we spend.  90% of our time, unless we're cooking or we're sleeping. The living room and dining areas . Except for Justin who is, you know, the older teenage boy, he does prefer to be in his room most of the time. But, um, even he comes out and he's in here with us in the living room. 

Like last night we had a movie night and we had popcorn and pizza and we were all in here, but the younger two they're in the living rooms, like 24 7 all the time.  Yeah, unless they have something very specific that they want to do inside their rooms. So to me, the living area, the dining slash living space is like the most important aspect. And it is the number one aspect, which I didn't think it was going to be. I don't think so either when we first started looking, I didn't think it was going to be that important. 

I was really looking into. The bedroom's part, which we'll talk. The sleep in areas. Absolutely. But the more we walked through the fifth wheels, the more we realized this is the most important part like this will make or break us. Like if we don't have the right living room slash dining room set up. We may hate this lifestyle. Because if you don't have enough places for your family to sit and be comfortable, And relaxing. That means  you're going to force your family to go other places. You're going to be forced to be separate. Yes. 

Or if you are all in that one space, you're going to be very uncomfortable and combined, and you're not going to enjoy that time together. Like if we only had one couch and there's a, there's a few out there, depending on your setup, that only has one couch. That's two. It's just a love seat. Yeah, that's two, maybe three seats. Well, that's you, me and Ariel.  Well, where's Justin and Jasper going to be now. 

Right. So we've kind of having company. We've covered, excluded them off to somewhere else. Two couches gives us four to five seating area we can get away with. Yeah, we would really love a three.  Couch.  Shaped or an L-shaped couch. Which there are a lots of designs out there like that. And , that just opens up the living space for us as far as.  Sitting down and being comfortable about either doing work or, , just being together as a family. Right. 

Jesper needs as much floor space as possible in the living area. So he can run around and have this toy. Wow. Real quick since you mentioned that, because I don't know if this is going to be on your list for today to talk about if we do end up getting one with a patio. They make these pop-up.  Tent type things, almost that attached to your patio. 

Yeah. And if we end up with that one, , That can kind of be Jasper space.  Right. It's like a play space. It's definitely like on the really good days where it's nice outside. Well, the new one that just released a few months ago, , they said it's good for three out of four seasons and it can. It can withstand very high winds. So it could be something as long as it's energy efficient. 

Yes. That's definitely one thing that we would have to look at. A hundred plus degree days or below freezing. We probably wouldn't want it out, but anything in between. We get caught anywhere that has, you know, below freezing or a hundred plus days, we didn't travel. Right. We were not traveling with the weather. We did not do our research to make sure we were not in those places. Yeah. I mean, if it does come to that. That's more floor space as more floor space, especially for the little one who needs lots of floor space, because right now he takes up like our entire 2000 something square foot house. 

And the more, the more slides that you have, especially in a fifth wheel.   The bigger it gets, 

the ones that we're kind of looking at is, 

we're looking at. Mid bunk. And we are looking at toy haulers just because they have so many different variations, but all of those. Are going to have at least two couches for us. And enough floor space in front of those couches. For Jasper to do all his running around.

And it's also going to allow Ariel a comfortable space.  Kind of to, to isolate herself if she wants to. And it allows Justin to come in every once in a while from his bedroom, which we're going to talk about sleeping areas in a little bit.  But it also allows us to have a dining space that either we can repurpose as a desk.  And set up all of our equipment and everything for podcast and for working for everything else. 

Or we leave it as a dining room table and it adds up a little bit more chairs for game nights and other things. So having those options, those variations are very important, too. Especially us. Because we spend so much time inside of our living spaces. There's other people that. Living spaces may not be a thing. 

Maybe it's more, Hey, what are the bedrooms look like? Because , we really don't get together as a family that often. Or our main goal is to spend as much time outside as possible. It was about to say, that's another thing. If, if you're not using it to live in.  And you're using it, especially just for camping. 

And you're only going to be inside for sleeping then. Yeah. You may want the biggest, best rooms that you can get and not worry so much about the living space. But definitely it's not the case for our family. In fact, we've even, , recently been looking at toy haulers too, just so we can make two living spaces. Have the one that it comes with and then in the toy hauler part, make us another living space. 

So a lot of options, and maybe by the time this podcast comes out, we'll have one either that, or we'll be days away from having it. So yes, and we will definitely make ,  A Patrion post. We will make a. YouTube video. I'm sure. Whatever we get will be Nini. Some upgrades. Or, you know, just to like Jeremy say, like to match our preferences. We'll be changing a few things I can already imagine. 

I haven't seen one trailer yet that I like every single aspect about it. And at the very least, we'll be switching out the dining room tables for like a desk type thing. And so, I mean, that's one thing that we would definitely discuss it all depends on kind of how. The, the couches are laid out that if we need that extra space, For certain things or do we keep the table? With two chairs or four chairs, or there's just so many different variations , that we could get into,  but one thing for sure. And our YouTube, because we may have a fight about that now. 'cause one thing that we're definitely looking at is it can't have one couch. 

There's no way our family doesn't survive on. On a couch, even if it's out of our house, our family doesn't.  Totally nix. The table and totally nix the desk. We will have to have. Seating space. Absolutely. So seating space and the amount of floor space. That is what we're looking for. 

We're going to go into something that a lot of people don't think about. 

It's not a big deal to a lot of people because you don't spend a lot of time in there, but that's bathrooms. Oh, my gosh, this is a huge deal of Jeremy. It's not a big deal for me. But there are certain things that are big deals for me.  Because care as long as it has a toilet, a sink and some sort of shower. A lot of the times, whenever you go, whenever you step up the stairs and you go into the front area, which is where your master bathroom and your master bedroom are typically.  That's about a 63 silly. 

So it's capped off at six, three I'm six foot. So that only gives me about three inches. So whenever you step into a shower, that's already going to come up about an inch and a half off the floor. Anyways. There's like no headroom. So where the sun roof is located, where  the nozzle is for the shower. For taller people.  Becomes a factor. 

And if you don't have that extra space  That sunroof is not situated over.  The rut area in the bathroom, mainly in the shower area.  It makes it. Really confined.

So having those laid out correctly is a big deal. Where the toilet and where the sink is and how much storage is in there is not really a big deal because it's going to be small anyways. Yeah. I mean, it's an RV.  Bathroom. So. I'm going to be that big.  Every fifth wheel bathroom we've looked at is bigger than the one we had in our travel trailer.  Because we had us. Yeah, super tiny bag. The super small that we only had one bathroom and.  A lot, not all, but a lot of the fifth wheels, we're looking at half a bath and a half, at least about two and a half. 

If not, two full baths.    And so now we're going to go into the sleeping areas and just the different aspects Beth and a half usually is going to come with a toy hauler. Or it's going to come with, um, not a mid bunk, but a rear bunk.  I did see one mid bunk with a bath and a half, but it made the mid bunk really small makes it really small because it's taken away that sleeping area. For the extra bath.  Whenever you.  We talk about toy haulers, which is one of the things that we've recently just.  I have come up with. 

Okay. Hey.  If this is available for the right price. Because they are a bit more expensive than a regular fifth wheel, then it is something that we can take that back area and kind of molded and change it into what we want. We're, won't be a toy hauler at that point in time. It's. Going to be no reason to have a toy hall. We'll turn it into  

double suite is what it will be with living space. And so  it'll give us the ability of the, have an extra toilet.  Which is kind of a big deal. Whenever you have five people and other people that might come visit you. 

 But it gives you a chance to take some really light materials and put them back there and build in a closet or a desk. Um, a living space. 

There's so many different, awesome accessories. That toy haulers have and that they can do. Missy's already kind of mentioned how you can take the back.  It would be the ramp for the toy hauler, but you can lift them up. And now they're a patio. Then now you can make it where you can turn it into a fully insulated, um, area. That it almost doubles the back. Living sleeping area. And now you've opened it up where you really can't build anything there because it is movable and you don't want to overweigh that, but it does open that up that you can a portable. Table can go out there or, you know, Uh, pulleys can go out there. Most of the people that I say use it, use it for their children. 

Like it's a play space for their children. , I saw one, couple that they turned it into an office when they were stationed somewhere. They were somewhere like three months at a time. And so they would turn it into an office, like you said, they'd get a portable table and they would set it up. They'd get their fold-out chair and they'd put it out there. 

And they each had one that was like their workspace while they were out there and doing that. Um, but it just increases your living space, you know, your square footage. And so that's nice that toy hauler in general. Does that, if you turn it into more living space, I've watched so many YouTube videos recently of different ways people have done it, and there's a lot of options you can do with . That extra space.  

And the mid bunks have so many different layouts. I like the doors inter from so many different areas. Some of them have Double closets where you can hang up clothes. Or single closets and a desk, or they have drawers in the middle. All of them have a place that you can put up a TV and then they're sleeping areas. 

Always different. Some of them have, uh,  Uh, bunk above and they have a couch below, or they have double bunks or it's a single couch. There's so many different ways of doing them. Some of them have tables that you can. Uh, temporary tables that you can set up.  Some of them. Don't. Yeah. But whenever we were looking at mid bunks, the main thing is, is we're probably going to rip out whatever's there. Yeah. We're going to put it in a bed. Justin won't fit on them. 

Right. So. We'll probably rip out whatever's there put in a bed. And what does repurpose that  for his main sleeping? Living area because he is the one that I don't want to say. It is separated from the  family. He just likes his own space. 

You know, he does a lot of work online and stuff, but there's a lot of work online.  And so that's just kind of his quiet place that he goes to, to. Uh, for his entertainment stuff. Yeah. Now we always get together. Like , we eat, we had movie night, like Missy said. 

I mean, there's so many other different things that we do together as a family. But looking for a place, especially for him, for our family. For him to have his own separate little area. It was a key where he can specifically have some sort of desk set up.  Is also a really important. Aspect. Yes. Cause  he's doing a whole bunch of certificates and work online. 

Yeah. And so he spends. Like half of his time on the computer working. And so he needs. Just like, I would like for us to have a desk space in the living area. Right. For us to do our work. You know, If he's going to be working on his laptop and whether it's school stuff or his . You know, business stuff. 

I want him to have a good space to do that. Not necessarily a big space, but a functional. Oh, functional space. One of the absolute things that we have to have,  is a lot. 

We have to have that third. Sleeping area.  Yes for Ariel. Because all she really does is sleep up there anyways. And store all of her stuff. But yeah. We have to have something with the loft. Yeah. It's got to have calluses. Is not feasible for our family at all. 

I've seen some really great layouts. But with two teenagers of different genders and different preferences and stuff, they really each need their own sleeping space. And we want to give her an embassy reasons. We want to give them as much privacy as possible. I don't want to take away from them. You know, as little as possible. Because they've had their own rooms for most of their lives now. And I don't want to be like throw you together as a teenager. 

I want them to enjoy this life just as much as we do enjoy the independence. Yeah.   And I want them to have their space and their privacy as much as possible. Yeah. So a loft is definitely a, a must. But there's no getting around. Whatsoever. Getting around it. We have to have a loft.  Ariel. They'll literally only sleeps in our room.  So as long as we have one, that's the main thing.   In the master bedroom. The only thing that we're really looking at is if we don't have a toy hauler, Where are the, um, washer-dryer hookups?  Other than that in a master. As long as it has good storage underneath the bed. Other than that.  There's nothing really inside the master that. Yeah.  Absolutely.  Uh, but speaking of washer and dryer hookups, that would be a deal breaker for me. If it didn't have one. Absolutely. Have a washer and dryer hookup. But with that being said, I haven't seen a single fifth wheel.  That didn't have washer and dryer hookups. 

So we have not. Seen a fifth wheel that doesn't have them yet. Walked inside of one. So.  Having that is definitely a must. 

The main purpose of our master bedroom. Is is to sleep. And so we don't go in there and like watch a movie. We don't have any TVs. The person who uses their bedroom on a daily basis. Is it Justin, the rest of us. We only go in there at night. Yes, because we're always in the living space. I put Jasper down for a nap, right?

We don't work in there. Yeah. That's just our sleeping space and the place that we can keep our clothes. We keep our glows. Yeah, literally the soul.  

So the whole layout of the master, as long as it has as much storage as possible. We'll be fine. Yeah. And if not, well, we can work around that. I've seen so many. Great tutorials on how to add. Lightweight inexpensive storage to your freewill. , , but these are like the basic that every RV is going to have. And which ones fit our family the best. 

Now, every person is different. There are so many different, I can't explain that any better than there are so many different layouts. and everyone has their own preference in. Uh, things that they want or that they believe that they need. My biggest thing. Different priorities. 

My biggest suggestion would be go look at them, go walk in them. After a year of walking through. I guess within the first two months we realized we wanted a fifth wheel. So the first two months, we pretty much just looked at fifth wheels after that. But for almost a year now we have been walking through different floor plans. 

And like Jeremy said at the beginning, like it's almost overwhelming. Of the amount of different floor plans that are out there. And you really don't know what it is you want, you think, you know, by watching YouTube videos or looking at floor plans on Google or something, but you don't know until you're standing inside of that floor plan and then it hits you like, whoa, this actually is not going to work at all right. 

Whenever you actually get the feel of. And em. The salesman should tell you if they don't. You probably need a new salesman. But the salesman should tell you, sit down. Yeah, pop out the recliners, sit at the table.  Well, I'm up in the loft. Yeah, open the drawers, open the pantry, see what's in there. See what it looks like. Because here recently, especially the more, the closer we get to actually finalizing the purchase is. 

I have looked in every nook and cranny of the RV. I have opened everything. I've I found where the black tank is where the gray taking is. I've seen where the water hookups are. That's. The building inspector coming out in you. Because it gets to a point of like, I need to know what it's going to look like and how difficult or how hard it is to set up. To break down to make the connections, um, to hook up a truck to it, where the buttons that to do X, Y, and Z. 

,  so there's so many other different things that you could go and look into an RV, but these are just very specific things that we have found work best for our family. Yeah. I'm curious to see what we end up with at the time of recording. Uh, we are a week or two away from getting our RV. By the time it comes out, we may have one or just be days away from having one. 

Yeah. I'm curious to see what we end up with. You are too.  Keep following us. We'll post it. All of us, check us up on all of our social medias. And. , we will definitely be talking about it in the future and showing videos. Yeah, keep up with us. Thanks for getting super exciting. We are so close to hitting the road. 

You guys, um, join us next week. We are going to be talking about the pros and cons of RV life.
