I have been living in my Millard Slideon camper for 14 years here in Australia. When I turned 50 I decided to change my life and sold and gave away all my "stuff" I have my 2 dogs, a roof over our heads and food everyday. Life is good.❤

Good for you Shawn, when my wife and I traveled we always had our three little dogs with us. They were great travelers and because of them we saw most of the US at ground level instead of fly over type of traveling. I can assure you we had much more fun and trouble and all that was involved with traveling with our furry babies but now looking back it was the best life ever. Safe travels to you and your wife and Calie.

When he said it works for us, works for the family, after talking about where they stay so Callie doesn’t have to be on a leash, was the ultimate “my dog is family” statement. 😊

It is great that you and your wife are traveling together... Travel while your young and have the energy, because old age creeps up on us before we know it.... I miss seeing your videos. I've been wondering where you've been the past few weeks. Take care...and have a safe trip...

Interesting. Off-Grid, cabin life and now Vanlife.👍

Our 44 yr old son and wife live in their van, and he has it covered in solar panels for energy to mine crypto. He can collapse the panels and drive safely.

❤Thank you so much for treating Callie as a 100% family member , that she is!!!

I'm 54,I sold my business,my wife retires in june and we bought a 5th wheel.if I was going to live to 100yo... I would call my current situation a "midlife" crisis. We are on a tear to see as much of the world as possible. Life is good

@@trinarock8643 That's just really sad! People are very disappointing these days.

It's still winter here in the Black Hills of South Dakota, but we've had a stretch of warm weather. If you're in the area, we have great camping, sightseeing, and wildlife here and in the Badlands. Worth a stop!

54, retired 4 years ago in my northern Lite 10-2 LE. Been full time in it since 2019. I now have the most incredible off grid log cabin homestead I built myself in South Dakota just south of black hills Feel free to swing by. I secured 2x6 boards along the side of truck bed to prevent the camper from shifting works perfectly

Great video Shawn. Enjoy the sights and please be sure to check the types of wildlife in each area you visit in order to protect Callie and yourselves. (Scorpions, Rattlesnakes, etc.) Happy Birthday to your wife! ❤

The outside shower is handy for washing dirty boots and shoes. We also use ours for bathing our dogs. Great camper!

Southwest I really enjoyed the Grand Canyon, Superstition Mountains, and the Petrified Forest. The Wave in Utah looks amazing also. Cholla cactus probably is what Cali encountered, their spines are like porcupine quills and are designed to slough off easily and stick you. They look deceptively soft ! These days I hear about dogs going to kennels less and less. It's usually house sitting arrangements or sleepovers at relatives houses.

Absolutely love the camper and truck. If your not a city person and you love to travel with dogs , then you found the best way. My husband and are in our 60’s . We spend 3 months a year doing the same. Hauling luggage and hotels isn’t for many of us. We have a Benz 4wd camper van and a Dachshund. And we wake up to the sound of birds. Enjoy your travels in the US.🥰

Velcro is your friend. For instance, the remote for the jacks.... sticky back velcro in the remote and inside of the door - up and out of the way. In any mobile environment velcro can help organize and keep small items safe and handy. There's a good reason it's used a lot un space travel!

Glad to see you take some time for your wife’s birthday and to take relax a bit. We’ve enjoyed seeing your Canadian wild land and wildlife, hope you enjoy your visit to the USA.

Planned b second home in another country is what I see. Good for you. I've got four hundred animals on my farm to take care of so you are my vacation time. Bring your camper.

Hi Shawn, I love your new camper. I use to do walkthroughs with new customers at an RV Dealership in southern Ontario for 6 years. I must say for your first time doing this, you did an excellent job. I'll give you a 9.5 out of 10. Hope you enjoy the RV life.

Seeing you and Cali again just made my Friday! Thanks Shawn!

Shawn, sorry I forgot to wish your lovely wife, Happy Birthday. Safe travels

The first minutes you were in a Juniper-Pinyon Forest. I have seen them in Utah and being from West Virginia laughed at the idea it was a forest. Enjoy your trip and try to come to WV on your way home.

Welcome to the US, enjoy the visit and nice to see you are taking a break from cold and snow. Good idea to stay out of the cities as there is so much mayhem and madness happening daily. The camper looks comfortable and very efficient.

Welcome to the States and enjoy your time here!

Welcome to USA I hope you enjoy your visit. I have missed seeing your videos. Best of luck in your travels.❤

Shawn I absolutely love watching your videos! As crazy as this world is right now at least I can clear my head for a while and just watch the amazing lifestyle that you live!! So thank you and have a great day!!!

Hi Shawn, on our RV trips there is an additional water filtration system that you can screw on to the filler hose to give you additional filtration. Looks like you are having fun.

Enjoy your stay here in USA.....Welcome. Glad to have you here

Great video buddy it looks awesome come to Newfoundland Canada for a trip lots of great back roads to explore

Looks like you have a great setup for traveling with the truck camper, very self contained unit. My motor home is 32’ long and provides all the necessary equipment needed for our travel. Enjoy your trips and being able to see the beautiful countryside in your home on wheels.

Glad to see your traveling have fun

Welcome to the club, I had a Lance 861, which was totaled in a rear end collision, now I have a Arctic Fox 811, you will love traveling in a TC.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MRS JAMES!! Absolutely awesome setup Shawn. And just beautiful that Cali has Sue wonderful family!! Stay safe and God Bless!! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏾

Good to hear from you again. I was worried about you for the last two weeks

I have told you before Shawn that I live my life through you. Some of us just can’t do these things you do. That’s why you’re so important to many people. Love this channel.

What an incredible piece of kit. It should be measured in comfort per square inch!

❤thanks Shawn for still making vedio,s, for new year.blessings to you n family..hugs Jesus love you,s...thanks.peace....

I love your new truck and camper! It's exactly what I expected from you! I've missed you! Happy Birthday to your wife! Looks like a great trip so far! Callie is your 3rd daughter and I think she's having a blast on this trip!

Thank you for sharing your trip.

i love that you guys put so much thought into cali's comforts and well being, we are the same way. after my husbands best friend passed away last year (mini schnauzer, her name was izzy) my son bought my husband a english bulldog 6 months ago, her name is hashbrown or "hashie" (her brothers name is tater tot which is my sons dog) she is 8 months old and there is no way he would leave her anywhere. if she can't go we aren't going...lol...so i get it.

How fun! We have lots of interesting places to see!

Happy birthday to the Mrs. I hope all three of you have a wonderful time.

Great video Shawn

Cool camper...! Thanks for sharing this adventure with us today! 👍🐺🧙‍♂️🦊🤙

Would love to see a pin map of all the places you visited!

Thanks for the tour Shawn. 😁👍🏼

I think your camper must be just right for you and your wife, and of course Callie. Thanks for the tour.

Amei saber que vc e sua esposa estão viajando, juntamente com Calli e curtindo a Natureza em lugares diferentes. Vc trabalhou muito durante esses anos e tb precisa de descanso e relax. Boa sorte e parabéns para sua esposa. Abraço aqui do Brasil, com mais de 30 graus de calor.

Welcome to the USA and enjoy your trip 😀

Great video Shawn. Enjoy your trip. You should put the attachable screens on the furnace exhaust, fridge vent and hot water tank to eliminate various flying insects.

I noticed slide in campers are making a big comeback and that makes sense for a lot of people. Also, a lot less problems than a motorhome.

Awesome! Happy birthday D 😊🎉 Nice setup! Happy trails!

68 and just bought a vintage trailer to build out and travel with my mini American Eskimo Dog. Like Callie, Clara loves to go anywhere and everywhere with me!

Happy Birthday Mrs. James. That is one of the nicest truck campers I've ever seen. Thank you Shawn for the full tour. Stay safe and enjoy your time visiting and camping the U.S. Hopefully some day you can tour my State of West Virginia. There's so many places here to camp whether it's State Parks or off-grid boondocking and dispersed camping. Numerous hiking trails in the Appalachian mountains. Great trout fishing streams and lakes. Whitewater rafting and snow skiing are popular too.

Happy 50th birthday Mrs James and enjoy your break away you two. Shawn you deserve this break and I am so glad you and Mrs James are having this break and enjoying yourselves. Take care and safe travels.

A massive difference in the use of technology versus what you have in the cabin. I too am from Australia and have a 4WD Mercedes Sprinter fully fitted out for travel and use it all the time when away from home, whether for 4 days or 3 months. That is my home away from home and have been all over Oz using it in the last 6 years, either doing volunteer work, visiting friends and relatives plus a bit of tourist site visiting of course.

Thanks for sharing all of this with us. I've been wanting a truck bed camper for a while - but brand new is just too expensive. I look for a used one that I can freshen up - but it's nice to know there is such a thing as an all-weather four season option. Eager to see you back at THE cabin as I've been missing your content. I love to see you make such progress and the prioritization you employ in your methods.

Happy Birthday Ms. James ! Love that you take cali everywhere. She's part of the family just like my crew. Safe travels.

So happy that you and your wife are having an enjoyable trip to some of the lower states. Hope you enjoyed traveling through Louisiana and Texas.

So awesome! I love pickup truck campers. Thank you for thr tour of your setup!

Thanks for sharing this video! My husband is about to retire and I already am. It would be a great way to see the country!

Agora sim , magnífico Shawn James, obrigada por me compartilhar.🙏😘👏👏👏

Nice package! I mean your adventure mobile, Great for some mild off road running if you are a little more ambitious. Am sure your adventures south of the borader will be fufilling.Looking forward to your updates and adventures especially visually.Some amazing scenery to share with our neighbors to the south. Small town folk are really heartwarming and interesting.Thanks Shawn

Thankyou Shawn. Appreciated.

My wife and I have an older truck camper we use when we are doing an overnighter or going to a 2 day music fest or something when I don't feel like hauling our regular camper. Love having that option. We used to just van camp and this is so much more comfortable.

Of course the irony is that it's the warmest winter in living memory back home. Took the dog for a walk without a coat on myself yesterday, and then spent a half hour getting the mud off of his belly. Something to be said to be somewhere that isn't traumatically weird. :)

Awesome setup efficient love it great video thank you

Looks like fun! ❤

enjoying life!!! good for you guys!!

Great travel living setup! I have been full-time with a teardrop since 2011. I've added a PNW summer camp in the woods with a little 'standy' trailer on it. It's interesting to see your emergency gear behind the drivers seat, which is where my emer gear migrated to. The driver needs to get to that stuff first and quick. I have long enjoyed and appreciated your videos. Many thanks for the content and time spent to get it to all of us out here. Wishing you all good. Happy journey.

Hope you and the missus are enjoying yourselves. You deserve it.Glad , always , to see and hear about Callie

Welcome James and family, we are in the US. I want to suggest for health purposes, visiting the springs for water consumption. We have a rock spring in our area we are blessed to enjoy. Happy trails!
