13 Thing we wish we knew before deciding to RV full-time.
We are Sam, Lexi, and Lilly and we are full-time RVer's. We travel the US full-time while working remotely in our 35-ft travel trailer. We have been through 13 different states along the east cost and it has been an adventure to say the least. Join us as we tell you 13 things we wish we would have known before embarking on this journey. Big shout out and thank you to Ryan Hall @RyanHallYall for your live streams and helping us stay safe out here during severe weather.

@happytravelRV To working your oven, just turn it to pilot on. You don't have to hold the button in or anything and then count to 5 seconds and light it. Then, to get it to cook right, you used a stone pizza Pan on the bottom, right under the rack .And that helps your food cook evenly
Hi Oh yes You two are so cute and you did a great job on the video with good information and humor. I am glad you are also soo enjoying the RV life even with the shortcomings. Yes I started the RV life in 1973 on our honeymoon for 10days. Wm Hamel West and East Coast

This is the best comment. To know that someone got some entertainment out of the hard work we put into this IS the best feeling. Thank you so much for making our day. We are a little bit jealous of your many years of travel but look forward to our many more years to come. 🥰🥰🥰 Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you for the tips, and for how efficiently they are delivered. You two are a hoot.

The mapping/gps advice was very helpful and I'd have never thought of that.

One downside to using the phone GPS is losing service and not having maps downloaded. 😕 But it’s been getting us around just fine for over a year now so no real complaints. 😊 it’s a good, budget friendly option.

I think that last one was one of the biggest mistakes people make. They say they can't drive or tow anything big so they buy small. Then within a year they are upgrading. Upgrading is expensive! Are you happy with a towable or after a year on the road would you like a drivable? Maybe you would rather have a one ton dually and a fifth wheel. What are your thoughts on this? My wife and I live in Sarasota Florida. We have a Class A diesel pusher and we only part time. I just found your channel and subscribed too.

Hey! Thank you for subscribing, we truly appreciate the support. We soo wish we would have bought a dually from the start. It’s definitely not easy to coordinate selling and buying and traveling all at once. How cool is that class a diesel pusher! We are intrigued by motorhomes too.
You have experienced a few minor inconveniences while giving you child the ultimate life experience. Seems like a fair trade off to me.

Love your approach to very good points of the RV life! We have been full-time for 3 years. Agree it can be lonely, storms are scary and laundry mats are gambles! I am a new content creator too! We are in S Texas at the moment. I'll be checking out your videos. ❤LauraD @SOLDonRVLife
