I have been full time RVing for over three years. It is A LOT of work. I am constantly doing DYI projects to fix all of the things that break..or making appointments for larger broken things. I think I’m going to move into my house again for awhile..to rest.😀

An oak tree blew down onto our RV last year during a severe storm , and crushed the front end. We were fine but had to get another RV. We moved here to Oklahoma a couple of years ago, and all of this violent weather makes me want to return to Colorado! I washed dishes too - it's preparing you for real life when you are on your own. Y'all sing good😊

A great video from your home base. RV life / living small is still great. At 50 we moved out of the city into an older 5th wheel that was home for 6+ years. Building a very large house our selves & being able to provide daycare for our 3 grandchildren as they arrived. Now 25 years later we are looking forward to life in a 5th wheel again.

It's not 'big feet' it's 'superior balance'. For Nathan, something that might be useful from a noise perspective is something I had to solve. I record content for a youtube channel where I teach illustration software. Being in an RV exposes us to a lot of background noise. Turns out in this age of AI, we can get rid of background noise through a nifty piece of software called Krisp. It's on the Mac and PC (I believe, I use it on the Mac). It removes background noise in real time during audio recording. A car drives by, or a child singing outside, no problem. They have a free version that lets you record up to an hour at a time or for like $100/year you get unlimited. It's a game changer for me being in an RV.

I finally broke down and bought a travel trailer and a new tow vehicle. It’s only been 2 months full timing but I already love and hate it. 😂 There are all the things you see on KZread, then there the things you don’t see like unclogging the toilet, setting up the rig in the rain, or forgetting to turn on the water heater when you really needed a hot shower before going to a work meeting the office. I’ve already battled storms in Tennessee and rough roads in New Jersey. So far, the worst of RV life is the drive between camp sites. Driving stinks!

Loving your video. It is real. Love seeing Marissa and Hensley in the kitchen singing 9 - 5. Love the song and the movie, which I found at a Half-Priced Bookstore for $4.99 a little over a month ago. My Dad, sister and I took turns doing the dishes when my mom cooked. So, it is good that kids learn and do some chores. This is a great video, thank you all for sharing. Also, I love you all's outdoor concert on the deck. Love the Northern lights. You all are lucky in Tennessee to have basements in the permanent buildings, Texas doesn't have basements, they just build houses on slabs, and we get more than our share of tornadoes. A little over a year ago in December 2022, the Grapevine area, (not far from Euless), Texas had a breakout of tornadoes, that damaged a Sam's and a Walmart, a car wash and various other places, the carwash got rebuilt, the Walmart got fixed, and the Sams had reopened earlier this year. One reason I love the west side of the Rockies (Utah side), is that we didn't get tornadoes, when I went to college there back in 1978-1982. They did get one in Salt Lake City, in August 1999 which surprised me, but it is rare that Utah, gets in tornadoes.

@@LessJunkMoreJourney, the trick is... I clean ours with a vacuum about every three cooks. One other issues I feel is the pellets get moist if they sit long in the hopper. and it will seem to never get to temp... and what happens is because the pellets are damp they do not burn well and the auger overloads the fire pot and I have never had that problem as long as the pellets were fresh ...Steaks and ribs on that thing ....
