I am 83 years old, and I love your videos. I am no longer able to travel. Your videos make me feel like I'm there with you. You feel like family to me. I hope you are able to find a way to continue. Love and blessings to both of you and your sweet kitties.

Wondered where you went. I didn’t find you till the end of your build, like week before you left. So travel has been my experience with you guys and you’re on my weekly check in. You guys are real people, with real and normal life events and challenges. No apologies for that. I’ll find you wherever you show up again. I plan to become part of the rehabi tribe. Thank you for that invite.

Well we both started our builds at the same time and I check in on you guys from time to time and watching you guys drove me nuts at time but that being said we still love you guys remember life is about the journey enjoy it

I hope you guys find what you’re looking for and peace with it! I will sure miss seeing your videos! I’ve enjoyed all of them and still do!

Don’t feel bad about needing a break, or a new direction!! I have enjoyed your videos and will enjoy them again when/if you decide to come back. Enjoy a break !!

You folks are so in rhythm with each other, I couldn't do it any better but keep trying.

Don’t quit! I live watching these videos! Don makes music like I do and I enjoy watching the progress and travels you guys make!

Hi Mela and Don, you were my 1st van lifers I watched,I was hooked, watched the whole bus build, it was amazing and your home is beautiful, I also loved all your travel videos to such amazing places you visited, it’s sad that it’s come to an end, but you have to do what’s right for both of you, we will all miss you, good luck with your plans and hopefully we may see use again, please look after each other and stay safe 💖💙from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧🥰

We’ll be back at some point and in some form.

So if anyone feels they aren’t getting video notifications even though they are subscribed, please consider join one of these!

You both of you plus the cats have been like family to me! I do understand the amount time it takes to make your videos (I think). What you decide I understand. Just continue to enjoy your life and have fun!

I've watched your videos from the beginning. It wasn't just for the re-build or for your travels, I would have thought people would have followed you "just because" , it was just a continuation of what you do, the places you go, things that happen on and off the bus. If you do decide to stop, I wish you the best but if you decide to continue let us know where you're at, if it's under a different name. Everyone could have watched you and then picked up on another re-build channel. My list of channels watching is over a 100 different ones but I still check in to see what you're doing. Wishing you the best whichever way you go...................

Ive been here since the beginning adding to your view count. Loved the bus build videos. Travel vids have been great, looking forward to seeing how you share your adventures in the future.

I hope you continue creating content, but I get it. A well-needed pause can hopefully orient your compass and give you the perspective you need to make the right choice for both of you.

We love your travels. Keep up the good videos. You are not making a mistake by filming daily life.

I have always enjoyed your videos. from the very start of the bus build to your wonderful journeys. you show us all what you can do in each of the places you visit. whether it's by the coast or more inland. you give us so much information, I will always love your videos and I support you every step of the way.

Thank you very much Barry! I know you’ve been a long time viewer!!

We experienced very similar. We were building our bus. But when we finished we transitioned into travel videos. Views dropped etc and now we haven’t posted anything in months. We made a similar build montage as it was easier to share with people new to the channel rather than watching 100 videos of our build. We wish you both the best going forward and looking forward to whatever you direction you go going forward. #rvthatbus

I so enjoyed your videos. I hope there's someway you can continue to share.

You guys do an amazing job in both the story telling and the videos. It's a shame that youtube screws with the availability of your videos. Another channel I love, RV East Coast also went on break. Like you they invest a lot of time in producing the videos and youtube only wanted more, and faster. It's a shame. Good luck to you both, hopefully you make a triumphant return !! Love the reference to Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, and the emphases on Time to Dance "Footloose" style !!

Thanks for all the love! You are right, there is so much more to KZread than making a good video. It’s a hard code to crack and the weekly hustle is exhausting. But when it is working for you, it’s the best job in the world! Ha ha

I would have missed Mr Sweetface ! 😞 I get what you mean. Time to think things over is always good. KZread channel are evolving everywhere, and especially with a "project based" channel when there is kind of a deadline. Do what is best for you and more than likely either the old crowd will follow or you will get a new one going. Just let us know what you will be doing so if you create a new channel and if it is to our liking we will hit the subscribe button again 🙂

Quiet long time viewer. Take time guys and enjoy. Enjoy that beautiful build and the moments together. Everything happens for a reason. Godspeed and health.

I have watched your video since the beginning. If you decide to continue regardless of the format you decide on, I would continue to watch the two of you. Best of luck on what ever direction you take. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure un KZread..😊

Please keep us posted. I’ll keep checking in.

I am so sorry this has happened to you! You have really blessed my life!

Yikes! This is quite the challenge. I did not find your channel until the very end of the build. Its been lovely to travel with you the last year or so. And you have to come back to Washington because you missed the pastries at the Market Street Bakery in Chehalis. You are the third channel I follow that after taking holiday time off, has come back with a "things are gonna change" video. This seems to be the year, astrologically, for lives, projects, and relationships to take off in new, more successful directions. Sending blessings and positive energy to your path forward.

I feel there’s a big shift happening right now on KZread, but this is life right. Shift, evolve, adapt. Glad you have enjoyed the videos ❤️

If you ever want to try a new gig you can do on the road, I think you both would make excellent audio book readers! Wonderful pathos in your voices.

I like watching your KZread videos. I want to wish you the best luck in whatever you decide to do. As long as you are happy doing whatever you want to do. Don't rush into it.

Please don’t stop posting you too are great your such a lovely couple I love the way you live your life good luck in what you do xx 😘

KZread burn out is so real. We get it. We have taken breaks because frankly we wanted to have fun outside, not sit inside editing all the time. We loved meeting you guys ( actually, you had a long talk with Larry at a campground) but I feel I’ve gotten to know you through all the social media.

Hi both. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing the context. I loved watching your videos from the start. You made the build seem “possible” for me as well and inspired me as I built out our bus. I enjoyed your travel log as well, really neat to see your journey. Understand why you need to change. Please don’t forget your identity (who you both are) and continue that identity in whatever your new channel looks like. I love how you relate to each other, treat each other and move forward. Don’t lose that. Hope to see you at some point in the future. I’ll def be looking for your next phase. Keep going

Sending love and light to you both as you consider this next phase of your life. We'll keep supporting you too! Blessings!

Don't quit. Do it once a month or maybe 1 every 3 weeks. A lot of my channels... The bell isn't working. You two are great!! But. Either way you two...have fun out there ... Enjoy each other. Hopefully we will see you on the road....

Hope you both come back to youtube I love watching the videos of everything and places you go and do

Will miss you guys, good luck on your journeys. See you again, one day.

I came to your channel for the bus -to-tiny house on wheels conversion but I wasn't so interested in the travel. Occasionally, if you uploaded a video that looked interesting to me, I'd check it out. I stayed subscribed so I could see the uploads... but I confess that most of the time I don't watch them. What most people do in your situation is choose a place in the country you love (since you've been everywhere now), buy some land and build a home base - and that generally transfers your original audience. Trent & Allie is the best example of this... and they still run a conversion company in Utah called Mountain Made Vans or something like that and continue to do conversions... but their audience transrerred and continued to grow. Trent started another channel called Trent's Garage but he hasn't had the time to keep up with that as much. Still I watch every one of their house build videos. We want to see you succeed... and you did, with your conversion, but now we have no idea what ultimate goal you are working toward. Just enjoying yourselves and sharing that is not going to bring or keep the audience. So... my two cents for you... for whatever that is worth. Thanks for sharing all this with us - the vulnerability just endears you to us even more.

I'm more of a watcher than a commenter, but I've been bee watching since you bought your bus, and I was here for the bus build ideas, I stayed because I enjoyed how you told your stories. When I dont get notification for new videos I check my subscribe channel list and check if you have a new video if i dont seen you guys for more than 2 weeks.

Pretty sure I'm crying right now. You guys are incredible! I love keeping up with your adventures. I have no doubt the right doors will open along the way, especially if the thought of it feels good to you. You are making the right choice to explore your passions! Can't wait to see what you create next! I hope the next time we meet, Mr. Sweetface and Rupert become best buds! 🤣 I know I'll see you down the road! Cheers! 💛💛💛

So glad to see you. I was wondering were you both has gone. Sorry you have had some trouble with UTube. ,but I’m glad you are rethinking you show

You guys could buy another cheap bus and convert it, then sell that one or this one and build from there. I mean the answer is right in front of you. You guys are so good at converting. COME ON DONT GIVE THIS UP😊😊😊😊

I will be miss you guys for now. I have been watching for a while. You two are amazing. Don't let utub stop your Dreams.

I have watched you both from the beginning, and have noticed big changes in how KZread has been not allowing content to be seen by its subscribers. Many of us no longer get qued each week as we once did to watch our favorite Vloggers such as yourselves. I think it's wrong, it should be our choice to decide on who to watch and not KZread. I hope as many of us, that you both will continue in the future in some format. Wecallvenjoy, laugh & sometimes cry with your content as it is real and moving.

I like the build,, LOVE THE TRAVEL ! ! !

The first video of yours that I saw was about a year ago when you were heading west and stopped in Tucson, which is where I live. I watched the next several videos, as you visited places to which I had also been. But once you got to the coast at San Diego and headed north, all the spots were new to me and unfortunately not of much interest. I was always interested in the bus conversion details, fixing breakdowns, hanging the window tint, etc. I will never ever be doing this myself, but I really enjoy watching y'all doing it. That places me outside your target market I guess. I'll stick around to discover where this present introspection leads.

I will miss you and the tales of your travels. But you must do what you think is best. I hope your future holds peace and happiness,

Sorry to here about the viewings going down but think of it as a break and to recharge your mental batteries and start a new platform on all of the places you have bin to and places you are going to go to with the history behind that place and the local customs. I am in the UK and I have watched I say 90% to 100% of rebuild etc . All the best for what you decide look forward for your decision 👍
