I would move tools to the starboard side storage. If ever needed the access is safer not being on the traffic side along the highway especially with a door that size sticking out. 😊
For a 2004, someone took SUPREME care of it. There's hardly any sign of any wear & tear, and it looks like everything works!! 👍👍👍
Good job by Steph on the tour, so confident !
Bobby, I hope you and Steph work that boat on wheels into some Extraordinary places.
I have to say Steph had me laughing when she said this toilet has a Bum Gun!!!!!!!😁 Soon as she said that my inner Bevis and Butthead came out. Overall a very nice setup and it looks to be in fantastic shape for the age and like Bobby mention 58k miles on it is nothing for that motor. I will enjoy watching the new adventures to come with this RV.
I like that, "This is Bobby's side; he has more room and storage here and I use it too."
Nice touch doing cross-promotion of Sailing Doodles on the big screen!!!
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet… but if you’re temperature guage starts climbing you probably need to clean the radiator. I’m a CATERPILLAR diesel truck technician (for the past 20 years)and all the diesel pushers with rear mounted radiators have the same problem. The road debris kicked up starts to face plug the radiator the side closest to the engine fan (especially the lower corners). You can spray degreaser into the cooling fins from the rear of the RV, then also pressure wash from the same side to help blow the debris out of the fins towards the engine. Should help keep your engine temperature down. Also check the water pump belt tension and condition. Kind of a pain to manually adjust, and flip it inside out to get it over the harmonic balancer if you need to change it.

Thank you
Very nice Bobby and Steph, Good luck and happy trails.
Wow what a Jewel! Only 53000 miles. Just a baby getting started. Cook outside as much as you can if for no other reason than that's what camping is about and it keeps your rig smelling nice. Don't cook air born grease items like meats and oils in the rig. It will coat everything. I love your documentary style you and Steph do at the places you go. Your call on weather you want to become an RV camping expert or not. My Wife and I are RVers for 48 years and we like just drinking, cooking and visiting outdoors. Yes the magic of RV's and camping. Good luck with that new Rig. It's a dandy.
I love this RV You work hard you deserve as good as it gets and this is like new Great tours both of you Thanks for sharing ❤
congrats on the new rig. May y'all have safe travels and many amazing adventures.
What a nice RV, happy for you guys! Thanks for the great tour, you two!
The RV looks really comfortable and spacious. Looking forward to seeing your new adventures.
Great tour both of you. Exciting way to see the world.
That is just toooooooo cool! Its amazing that even though it is a 18 yr old unit, it still is current and somewhat ahead of its time.......
Wonderful life and time you are having together as a couple. Will be remembered fondly for years I am sure.
Thanks for the tour Bobby and Steph !!…….
WOW, a rolling Penthouse, best of luck and safe travels to you both. Peace.
Congratulations! Beautiful ride, Bobby & Steph!
Congrats on the new Rv, you guys needed this. 58 000 Miles on the engine is pretty much new. I love it
Good for you guys! We also bought a 'new for us' gently used diesel pusher. Same basic floor plan. Cat diesel, diesel gen. We have both the heat pump basement air/heat, and 2 roof mount heat/ac units, for Texas summers! Can't wait to see some of your travels.
Nice Coach and looks in great condition with a lot of options for a 2004. Watching your video made me miss our 40’ diesel pusher (after 11 years downsized to class B+). Good luck and safe travels with your new Coach.
Wow very nice RV, very happy for you both!..stay safe and have fun!
Bobby/Steph...Congrats on the upgrade...quite a step up from the Class-C... best of luck w/ it
You said the engine gets warmer when in the climbing. I recommend that you clean your radiator. Hose or pressure wash the radiator get the dirt out from between the fins. Two reasons one probably never been done second the dust you just sucke up into it from this trip. It might help big time with the temp getting hot.
Congratulations. Yours looks almost exactly like my 2005 Journey 39k. We just bought that last March and put 10k miles on it already. We LOVE it. Just got back from Freightliner in Gaffney, SC from it's service. The previous owners took ours there every year. Came out with a clean bill of health and we did the 60K service plus I asked for the tranny to be serviced. Anyway, we love ours a lot and are planning a cross country trip next summer. Safe travels!!
Nice upgrade, Makes for a better ride and all the comforts of home.
That's why they call it a land yacht Bobby for the sailor in us all with only 50 thousand miles it's hardly been used for a 04' and it shows well glad Stephanie is enjoying the ride be careful and stay safe my friends God love ya both
Great video and very nice RV and Steph is so awesome what a real sweetheart of a Gal, You 2 make a great team.
Nice rig! My brother has a 2004 Horizon with very similar layout and we have traveled in it many times. You guys like to bring a lot of stuff, and when you bring a lot of stuff you NEED a Class A.
Very Nice...my wife and i are on our second Winnebago now...looking forward to watching the videos...i watch this and the sailing channel
Great video love the RV in the UK, we call it a Mobile Home for you that's exactly what it is so having as much comfort and space is great, Stephanie as beautiful as ever very professional, she just gets better and better 😊😊😊😊
Awesome Steph and Bobby!!
I'd love to hear a comparison of living in the RV vs. living on a boat. A lot of things are similar.
Beautiful bus Bobby. Looks really comfortable.
Wow! been a fan for many years...never commented! planes, boats and love the RV!
Beautiful upgrade. I hope you'll make your way to the North East when it's warmer someday I'd love to take you out to dinner.
Hi Bobby from Malta 🇲🇹 I am so happy for you too i love watching your channel
Those are nice. Built like a tank, I had a 2007 Ellipse 40 FD we bought new and it was great for 13 yrs. Now we have a 2020 Horizon 42 Q
Nice!..very happy for you guys...safe travels...
Nice to see Bobby's ride. The RV is nice as well.
Nice RV. I look forward to the next adventure!
Congrats on the upgrade. I would say you needed the extra space! safe travels.
Very nice RV. Enjoy your travels safely. 👍🇺🇸🚜
wow that's travelling in style great tour simply amazing indeed
Nice, great upgrade. You guys have a lot of stuff. Hey Steph, the TV is on what is called a televator. You will have fun times ahead in it. Happy for you two.
So awesome! I can't wait to see if my husband and I will the chance to do this! I love your channels! Yall are doing great!
Looks very well cared for and a great upgrade. The air ride makes travel days much more enjoyable. Mine is similar though with an extra slide and bigger engine which out west really helps on the hills. Safe travels.

It kinda is. The paint is all blistering, the leather sofa is in bad shape, carpeting needs to be replaced. Lot of work is needed. In certain area. Overall for a 2004, not bad.
Looks like a great floor plan. The clear coat is an issue on many RV's that had this applied. As you probably know, there are some companies that remove it. The tank fills also allow you to fill up from both sides at the same time. Something I wish I had for my 150G tank. Maveriks out west here have truck/RV islands that provide this feature. Having sailed (not very well) before getting an RV, I still call the RV parking places a slip!
Wow..first Like...That RV is AWESOME, congrats guys!!!....so beautiful and comfortable...seems like a Dark Side on wheels to me....Steph's "for those people who need a fan" at 15:44 was priceless ha ha....but didn't see the golf clubs..where are they....ha ha ....again congrats guys you deserve an RV like that....love you both!! take care...
The 'curb side' or 'street side' is 'RV Speak' for Port and Starboard. Curbside is the side the 'house door' opens up on. The street side is the side that usually has all the hookup connections for electric, potable, grey & black water. Also: If you haven't already... Invest in a shore power pole surge spike protector. Campgrounds are notoriously bad with regulated power and voltage at the shore power poles. The PPF has failed on the front of the body of the RV. A heat gun will be your friend with a plastic spatula/scraper to get the PPF off.
The interior looks great!
You go girl, I could watch you all day.
It's huge! Great video!
Super nice ,can't go wrong with a Cat . 06 is way better than new and more affordable too. You guys are living the life!
Great model year, great brand, and model. Hope you can do a lot of maintenance and minor repairs yourself, as nowadays RV service dealers often struggle to get things done on time and done at all, but they charge you an arm and a leg. Our first RV is a 2003 HR 35" Class A gas and I love the 8 to 9 mpg highway gas-mileage when towing. Also, the size this enables us to go boondocking using our 450Ah LifoPO4 battery bank, solar panels, etc.
You guys are living the dream! ❤
Congratulations on the new rig
What a great way to live , a new one would be so expensive but a used one a lot less. Watching while waiting for Sailing Doodles
That's a pretty slick toy you two have!! Tons of room, nice kitchen and bathroom. Who needs hotels any more???!!! Let's git'er on the road and make some more videos!!!
As a full time long haul trucker, For cleaning bugs off your grill / windshield, I highly recommend mixing MrClean 50/50 with water. give the bugs a good spray, wait a couple short minutes, then they just wipe off. also great to clean and polish any chrome lol But, looks like a great purchase ! I wish you many miles of enjoyment in that rig
Wow, love the RV and all the space is a dream way to travel...life is great a wonderful RV with a great lady...life is good:)
You need a few Sails on that to help with Fuel, LOL!
Wow you guys are styling and profiling,very nice RV.
Looks great, nice pick!
Wow. Now my wife’s all in on this RV. Let’s go she yelling at me. Thanks a bunch, your costing me a bunch. Mike Charleston SC
It's OKAY to say Port and Starboard in a Land Yaht. Besides, most of us are watchin this channel 'cuz we started w/You, Maverick💙 & Goose💙 and your old monohull.
Nice rig you two! Hope we see you two in a park somewhere so we can swap flying stories Bobby! CHEERS!
That’ll be a great rig to explore the country while you’re waiting on the Cat. I’ll tell you from experience the extra room is needed when working and living on an RV full time.
Pretty cool upgrade guys - enjoy
Super awesome my friend! There is nothing like cruising through those canyons in a class A. With that huge windshield you're literally in a movie!🏞
Nice Rig guys👍🏻👍🏻 Steph looking VERY nice in that pink shirt too🎤
Excellent video happy to see you both
Love that you've moved up to a bit more of GLAMPING . Winnie's have lots of roof problems so beware. Winnie's us SILICON ROOF SEALENTS, do not use Dicore self leveling sealents, they DO NOT STICK TO SILICONE. Also check where the roof connects to the wall, it goes into a J channel. This needs to be checked yearly to be sure its is stuck. check out James's channel on the tubes A-Z rv repair, he has lots of info on replacing these roof and how to prevent having to do so. CHEERS AND SAFE TRAVELS Steve h.
I like your R V and looking forward to seeing alot of videos from your travels
You've got the great life going on!! Land or Sea!!👍💗
Awesome! Thanks so much!!
Beautiful RV. Steph is perfect, as usual.
Not sure you answered the one question.... "what's the one main thing this 'new to you' RV has that the old one didn't"?.....oh you DID....must have missed it. Love your excitement. LOL!!
Awesome video by my camping friend's Bobby and Stephanie.
Nice upgrade.
Bit chilly out ? Nice coach, very nice.
Try pressure washing the radiator. All the dirt roads pack them with debris. I work on pusher school busses and when they get hot we wash the radiator and it usually improves a lot.
Congratulations, drive and enjoy in good health 🎉
Nice rig Bobby. We’ll preserved for a 2004. Somebody really took care of it. Better than your parent’s old RV. Quite the upgrade. Good Luck, 👍 happy trails, and I will subscribe if I haven’t done ✅ yet.
Wow!! What a great ride. I love that Sailing Doodles was up on the TV for the tour. Is that what Bobby watches while Steph watches Mad Max in the bedroom? You guys are so much fun to watch. Can’t wait to see more episodes in the new ride.

I'm jealous, I've always wanted to do the large RV scene but had congress to deal with, lol. Anyway, we're living in the Philippines now and enjoy it very much. I'll be watching you with envy in the background. Lol, just kidding. I love it and am anxious to watch the new adventures. Be safe always.
That thing is nicen great job guys!
I have the FD model, 400 cummins 4 slide. If you ever have any questions, hit me up. BTW, the air in the front is for a towing. It allows a tow truck to air up the bags for transport.
Howdy Bobby and Steph, I know all to well about tires, going back to the mid 80’s, I drove a car back to Amarillo from Anaheim Ca, it had a recalled set of tires, Firestone 721’s, they were about 15 years old, I thank God the muffler fell off first, we were about 30 miles from Needles in the summer, don’t need to tell you just how hot it was, I pulled over to go back and kick the muffler off the road, unbeknownst to me, while it had set for that 10 minutes, all 4 tires swelled up and the car was rolling like it was on a rollercoaster with all 4 tires on a different track, to this day I have know idea why they didn’t blowout, crazy , safe travels God Bless
Nice motorhome!
Nice boat 😄
Looks fantastic
Very nice Rv, so advance, looks so brand new actually its a huge one perfect for family adventure, and maybe you should start now, haha i know you are gonna be a good couple 😍, love, love, love
Thank you.
Love the rv.
Happy for you both but especially for you bobby that you have hit the jackpot with a nice partner .
yea, in amazing shape.
I came here one year later just to see Steph. I miss her.....
Nice rig in great condition. Some WD for that front door :)
