I bought a Roadtrek van last spring, and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! The more I use it, the more I love it!!! It is so comfortable to drive, no matter the weather. Use it for trips, both long and short. Boondocking is a piece of cake, you can spend a night anywhere and no one minds. BUT there is only one of me, and not four. Plus, I am not full-timing either. We will see how it goes this summer with a month on the road to the Grand Canyon with my grandson...

I think it’s like 22’ 10” to drive through Sequoia, and our Minnie Winnie was 23’ so def go small! Have fun!

I love it when you say what the generator did. It sounded legit. I’m glad you found out the problems BEFORE you left. Enjoy getting it ready to go!

Congratulations, glad to see you embraced a small RV for another journey. As a veteran of 13 weeks in a 24’ C with a family of five, you’ll do just fine with four.

I can't believe four humans are going to live in that for 3 months! God bless you guys! I can't wait to hear where you are going that makes this sacrifice worth it!

I pray they don't divorce after sharing a small space like this with 2 kids. I love them both.

Excited for you guys! We went from a class A to a bumper pull, to recently a 23’ class C. We love driving in the house for all kinds of convenience reasons, and we went small for the driving/parking too. Like others have said, go non-ethanol as often as you can. Those generator carbs run a million times better, and longer, without the ethanol. I’ve started pre-identifying where non-ethanol stations are when routing trips. Can’t wait to see more!

This Class B, though small, offers up big possibilities ! This is what I will be considering for a motorhome. New adventures for the Moss family are soon to begin ! Slainte' ! Cheers !

Way to go guys have fun!

Nice! I have the same RV! My version is the Trend 23L, 2017. I have 2 kids that are pretty close to the same age as yours. While we don’t live in it full time, the four of us (and our small dog) have traveled a lot together in it over the last 3 years. I absolutely love my Trend. It’s so nimble and easy to get around in it. We’ve gone to some pretty secluded off grid areas that most rigs couldn’t get to. I’m confident will love your VIVA. Have fun!

Congratulations to you both! So happy for you! ❤

Not technically a B because it’s on a cut-away chassis, but it’ll be fun to watch you guys travel in that for three months. 😊

I'm still watching so I don't know the outcome but you guys will be fine in a smaller rig I think. You have excellent sense of priorities and you know how to stay positive. I suggested way last year that it might be a good idea if you had storage and could afford it, to keep 2 RVs. One could be smaller for adventure trekking and quicker more remote trips. The other could be big and comfortable, well appointed, and use it for longer stays with amenities. Store the spare at grandma's house and swing through TN every few months to switch out. As for the rig you showed has a lot of that airstream sensibility...curves, compactness, etc. If it gets crazy you can invest in a screen tent for a bit more living space. Would be great for meals, kids playing, even cooking if you, have a grill.

Congratulations, I love your new rig! This is going to be so much more versatile for you, you’ll be able to fit almost anywhere! Can’t wait to see where you guys are headed next!

Wow! What an incredible adventure you are about to embark on! Can hardly wait! 🖖🏻👍🏻😘🙏🏻

Wow, congratulations y’all! The new rig looks soooo FUN! Have some great travels in 2023! We will be in the National Parks this year 😎 Steve & Traci

I absolutely love this RV. It's small enough to allow you to travel easier to more places but big enough to be comfortable. I also like the convenience of getting up from the cab and walking back to the "house". I'm looking forward to following y'all on your upcoming journey. Safe travels.

Hi guys. We have a 2015 Winnebago Reyo, Model 25P. It's on a Mercedes diesel sprinter van designed by Winnebago. We love the size of it. It opens so many more places you can go. You guys will love it.

So excited for y’all! Looking forward to your next adventure!

Congrats on the new RV! I so hope you have no issues but we dealt with so many Ram Promasters in a fleet capacity and it seemed that every time we picked one up to transport or place in storage before delivering to a new driver there were always issues. The RV form factor def takes care of the main type of problems which were the sliding cargo doors and pretty much everyone leaked water into the cab, the storage tray would fill with water and then soak you when you moved the van.

I'm so excited for your family! How fun!!! Can't wait to follow you next adventures. That RV is so cute.

Our first caravan was smaller than what you have, it was 6’ wide and 12’ long, and we had it for 17 years with 4 of us in the van, we toured Europe with our2 children they were 10 and 12 years old. Our kids now in there 50tys still have wonderful memories of travelling to Spain France Switzerland, Belgium, Germany, and I mean all over Europe, they loved every minute. So enjoy your trip and make those memories with your kids.

WOWZEE! This is fantastic! ❤️

We are still waiting on our first camper to be delivered soon I hope once the legalities, title transfer etc. 23 footer. We want to take our youngest to the nearest to us anyway, state park, once they have warmed up to the idea of overnighting in a unfamiliar place. I love your new pick folks. I hope it serves your family well and you get lots of new memories made!

Hi, LJMJ! FYI, we purchased a Winnebago Itasca Viva about five years ago. The RV was about two years old, and had about 6000 miles on the odometer. We are a retired couple, and had some hesitancy about the relatively small size, but we purchased because it checked so many boxes otherwise. We LOVE the Viva! It has run like a top, and we've had virtually no breakdowns on the RV components. Nathan, our gas mileage ranges from 14 to 18, perhaps even 20 on level ground with a tailwind. The upper bunk is quite comfortable: as light as the two of you are, you might choose to sleep "upstairs" and put the kids down below. (By now, you've surely discovered the ladder for the upper bunk). And by now, you've also found the table extension: we're always amused that we have room for five or six to dine! And one of our favorite features of the Viva are the cabin chairs which turn to face the rear of the RV. We've made very few modifications, but we did remove the 12V television to allow for more storage, and we attached a Roku device to the main television. A drawback: your chassis clearance is quite low, so watch out for scraping bottom. Happy travels, we know you will appreciate the quality of your new RV!

The sleeping arrangements you describe is a great idea. Then the parents can still use the living area when kids are sleeping.

We have gone from a 16' Scamp to a 19' Rpod (full time for 8+ months) to a Imagine 17MKE (full time for a year plus). My thought is to go as small as you can to comfortably live with. And yeah that's a toughie.

I would use the overhead space for the parents if you fit. That way the kids can have the bedroom and a place to play and keep their stuff out of the main living area. It’s just temporary either way but that’s how we would do it.

We were surprised to hear you had never been in one prior to this, especially with all the RV shows you go to. Also, that you couldn’t find one of these closer to home. Looks like you’ll be going to bed the same time as the kids since there’s no place to relax after their bed comes down. Glad it’s not a wet bath. Good luck!
