Family of 3 in Spacious RV — Debt Free & Intentional Living

we have a washer and dryer in here welcome to my room everybody and also it has an outside kitchen we don't need a lot to be happy as long as we have each other i think we're okay so hey guys we're the app fans i'm sylvester i'm aiden and i'm karen this is our fifth wheel come check it out [Music] so when choosing our fifth wheel one of the things that was super important for me was like an island i really love that we have this here because it gives us extra space we have a double sink right here which is really nice and then it has a cover that comes off and that we can put back on um and then sometimes if we have a lot of dirty dishes we could just put the cover on and cover it i kind of like that about it but this countertop is really like spacious and then it even extends on the side here so we have extra countertop space that extends over if i'm cooking or anything like that i have a lot of space to put stuff on and then this area we have a microwave here we have a cooktop and then an oven so we cook every day like we we always cook so this is for us like a must-have our oven also we do some baking in here which is really nice we have our counter space here where we keep our condiments all our spices and everything goes in here and then on this side too we have all the condiments here and then here on this side we have a actually have a trash can which is under the sink so over here we have like a residential style fridge which is really nice because we don't have to buy we can shop for more groceries at once if we wanted to we have a freezer and then my favorite part about this is an ice maker honestly i can't live without ice so having an ice maker built an ice maker in the freezer is 10 out of 10 for me we have pantry space over here it's really full right now because we recently went grocery shopping and so we bought a lot of stuff so we filled it up and so we have enough food to last us for a while and then over here coffee area so my husband loves coffee he makes coffee every single morning so having a a coffee station was like honestly very important for us um as you can see we have a coffee maker right here and then more storage space up here where we keep our glasses and plates and uh coffee and all that stuff and then more storage here at the bottom so the kitchen area has a lot of storage there's a there's a place for everything which i think is really nice here so this is our living area uh we picked this rv because there's a big sitting area we got two seats over here that recline aidan you want to show us how that reclines all the way up so this is actually really nice when you just want to relax and watch a movie or just relax and read a book like aidan's doing right now this seating right here is perfect for that [Laughter] and then over here we have this couch which is really nice we hang out here and we have enough room for all of us to sit down like i said watch movies watch tv right here another really cool thing about this living room is right here we have a fireplace that actually turns on and then we can actually change the colors so having a fireplace that changes colors is honestly so cool aidan's favorite color is blue so he always has it on the blue color but um on cold nights it keeps us really warm and then we have a tv right here like i said we love watching tv watching movies as a family so this area is just perfect for that and then up here we have storage up here where we keep like you know like our board games and all that stuff so we have storage basically everywhere around here and i love that it's fifth wall so spacious because we have space for everything that we need to put away so this area is also one of my favorite parts of our living room i mean every part is my favorite part honestly but here so aidan's home school so he sits right here and he does the schoolwork and then and then my husband helps him with school work or i do and then also we do work over here i do work my husband does some work and then we have all their meals here and then also if we have games like board games and stuff to play we do that here so we spend a lot of time sitting at this table on a daily basis [Music] [Music] so aidan's home schooled and he learns as we're traveling the u.s remember where did you go even that you really liked you learned something over there where was it uh the red rocks the red rocks you know about the red rocks in las vegas what about in south dakota in south dakota i learned about mount rushmore so he loves traveling because he has an opportunity to actually see things that he's learned about in books to actually see it in person so i mean it just helps his education it helps them be well-rounded um a lot of people are always worried about like you know meeting friends on the road but there's a huge community of full-time traveling families so it's easy to meet up with these families and make friends with them aiden has made like some long-term friends on the road that we tend to see often which i think it's really nice so being on the road as a family um you don't have to be lonely if you don't want to like i said they're facebook groups they're instagram they place so many places to meet other full-time families that you can travel with and hang out with and kind of build a community with welcome to my room everybody this is my couch that can turn into a bed and these are my closets these are some of my books and these are with my clothes and i got some more clothes over here and i got a tv i got my costumes and i got my toys my favorite thing about my room is that as a tv i like having the tv because i can play my nintendo switch so above aidan's room over here we have a loft area it's pretty big i'm thinking queen size and um three kids like aidan's age can actually fit up here which is really cool sometimes he sleeps up here sometimes he sleeps in his room but we love having this extra space up here just in case he has sleepovers and um he can hang out with friends up there so this is our bathroom we have a pretty big shower and over here we have our sink and then toilet and then lots of storage space on the side where we put like towels and toilet paper and all that stuff and then above our sink we have a medicine cabinet where we store all our like toothpaste brushes and all that extra stuff so we have a standard flush toilet which is kind of nice because we don't have to deal with any composting or anything you flush and it goes right through the sewer this is our master bedroom and we have a king-sized bed we absolutely had to get a king-size bed because even though this is just my husband and i in here aidan loves to join us in the bed so we needed a bed that was spacious so we love having a king-sized bed in here over here is our closet space it's pretty spacious we can fit all our clothes we have clothes up there on hangers and all the way down and then one of the coolest parts about our room is this we have a washer and dryer in here which honestly just makes it so easy we do laundry fold the cloths put them away put them in there wash and dry over on this side we have um drawers so we're able to put our stuff in the drawer right here we have drawer space and above our dresser we also have a tv that we have modern on the wall so that's nice sometimes we have uh movie night in here or even game night we play video games in here and just hang out on a bed as a family so works out pretty good [Music] so we made the decision to go full time in our rv because we wanted to spend more time together uh be able to pay off debt we've paid over 200 000 debt since we've been on rv so for me i can't think of any reason like rv has is literally the best decision we made for a family yeah so it's like when i think about like what like i can't think about anything bad i can't think about any any any problem or any issue that we have with our rv living that's true though i would like a little blessing yeah it's been a blessing i was a little hesitant when she tried to talk me into it i mean yeah the fear of not knowing what's next the fear of the unknown trying to think don't know not knowing what you're going to do next where you're going to be next jump into something you haven't done before but we took the risk and here we are true all right so a couple of things about the uh the fifth wheel one of the things that made us pick this option i picked this model is because it has a lot of storages and also it has an outside kitchen just right here when you open the storage it has a refrigerator and also uh it has an outside um cooktop where you could make breakfast and stuff and it has a pull through storage that goes from one end of the rv to the other side and it's really large another thing that it does have is it has awnings it has two sets of awnings that come out one right by the living room and one that is on this side like usually like in the evening with the awning comes out and it gives us nice shade so we could sit we sit down sometimes as a family we could also we usually light up the fireplace and and sit down and hang out hang out as a family most of the time one of the reason that's one of the main reason why we went uh with rv is being able to spend time outside as a family together and sit down tell stories play card and just hang out roast my mellow watch aiden play out which is i mean really big for us as a family is spending time together outside in the open in nature so it also we it has a four slide outs three on the other side on the left side of the under of the fifth wheel and one on the right side two of the slide outs are in the living room area and the kitchen area when it pulls out it opens up the space inside and makes the living room and the kitchen are really large which is what one of the feature that we really wanted on the rv driving it for the 42 foot uh fifth wheel can get scary but it all depends on what kind of truck you pull it with if you have the right truck you really don't feel it as much uh initially we had a um we had a class c and every time we drive and a semi truck passes by you you will feel that shaking it swerves to one side and you really have to catch your arm but with this it's you don't really feel it it just it's just smooth [Music] so for people who are looking to start rving full time for me my number one thing i say is just do it don't sometimes you can ask somebody about it and they'll tell you their opinion but you'll never know how it really is until you try it if you don't like it you can always go back to your home or go back to your old lifestyle but number one thing is get out and try it and see if you like it or not experience it for yourself give it a try um that's honestly the best thing i can say don't let anybody discourage you you have to do what's best for you and you have to do what's best for your family and a lot of people give advice based on what they don't know or what they've not experienced so like she said go ahead and try if you want to do it and you could only know if you try it thank you guys for watching our rv tour you can follow us on social media we're on instagram facebook tick tock and youtube as the mom trotter so make sure to find us and follow us thanks for
