PARADE OF HOMES // TOURING THE RVs of FULL-TIME FAMILIES

[Music] [Applause] [Music] so what's up full jurors so we are in our home base in Tennessee in real time but in a RV video time in Florida time how do I'm same time like a million times in early March we were still in Florida we're at the full time family rally and we filmed the Parade of Homes which we absolutely loved filming for you guys and as you guys know we're living in this fifth wall behind us which is right behind our screaming daughter playing Legos with JJ we live in this fist ball behind us fifth wheel has to go to the washer dryer and the king bed and the bunk room we also lived in the Airstream which didn't have any of that what's cool today is we're gonna show you guys sort of both ends of the spectrum something all the way from like a 45-foot fifth wheel that's super nuts they're just a super simple vintage travel trailer and you could live both you can do both and there's not a right or wrong as an RVer and you can get so much information out of someone who's actually living in the RV because touring them on a lot is way different than once you get your stuff in and just seeing how everything is organized or decorated what a better way to get ideas than people who are already living the RV lifestyle and there's something here for everybody for sure hey girl you know say let's check out some tours this I miss it I miss it sometimes yeah so this is a canyon star by Newmar which we had a canyon star about anymore and so this is like coming home I mean we lived in it what air and a half-ish yeah yeah around a year and a half we did not have this exact model that we're gonna show you what's cool about this model we can look at this we looked at this one and we wanted it the thirty-ninth eats its kind of thing we'll show you some fifth wheels and some Class A is the Class A you know but this seats do swivel on most of these now so they make it a part of the living room and if we're back and forth about motorhome and and and fifth wheel you're like well you know I don't like the way it feels to have it she was Marissa was against having you know the cockpit like in the living room but this windshield I mean windshield is nice ton of light coming in through that that's in so much I mean it's almost like wraparound windows and you do get this extra seating and I really like when the door is emitted yes yes to me I know for some people that's probably not a big deal but for me that made it feel more home-like then walking in by the seats but to you that might might not be a big deal at all but I really like the mid entry is it this is 2019 so one thing they did 2019 they moved the TV from here to here which if you're sitting on the couch makes way more sense than like Oh doing the whole sideways looking things so I do I like I like that change the new more made so yeah the kitchen space fridge well the new room was at a 10 or 12 like a size fridge that's bigger than the 8 for sure yes that's nice though yeah probably convection oven I don't see a stove here bathroom good space that dissimilar to what ours was I guess on the bathroom I've been seen when I look like no mirror no you're not familiar with a new more very very good job as far as the build quality I think what freaked you out lauritha bit is there a doll is it under no all right photography pass the dogs taking a nap under two slides right so you got one big slide coming all the way down here on the driver's side and you got your second slide right here but this is what sets it apart this is what's cool and this is what we loved was we love to class a but we love to talk to a hauler and they there isn't a lot of class a toy haulers out there but Canyon star does make one so this is what it was different from than Arkin so the back door comes up they do have bikes and all that kind of stuff they put in here you know so they sort of turn the bottom into like a man cave slash office and in their 12 year old is up here with the bed which can move where they need it if you had something bigger to the back here back to work it's really cool to get the best of both worlds because it would be so nice to make this whatever you want this space to be I mean it's a large blank space for whatever you like so this is really cool if you're a couple you got somewhere for your toys or if you want an office or some people who maybe work from the road and need to haul a little bit a little bit of merchandise or something like that we've seen that done as well with toy haulers if you've got multiple kids you could just custom fit this to be you can imagine I mean you can have a couple of beds down here maybe even still a play space I think better to up here I mean more storage over here that's a lot of camel bags or if you're super cool and your mountain bikers yeah I wish that was us and it's got the second entrance too so that's kind of cool did they have second entrances and we looked at them I don't think so I think some the old ones this might be a newer thing I'm not sure but that's pretty cool to have a second entrance event something what you're looking for there is a cat there's a camera no in your bed oh yeah she's like something's in the bed oh you're talking into the bed over here okay okay and then the other one hi [Laughter] [Music] this is a Winnebago mini plus travel trailer it's pretty cool what they've done to make it feel bigger to make it their space I think 30 - ishvii something like that but it feels good it's pretty cool let's check out what they did many plus 29 [Music] [Music] change the table there there was also another bunk here the two boats it was two banks and we only have the one child is this the stick-on toy oh yeah just painting in itself seems like an easy like Oh truck paints the way to go they're like oh you just need this primer and it'll everything will stick they're also lying basically you just have to stand there really good that's what I found we did zero same thing I don't know I don't know maybe it's our what our walls were fine but it was the cabinetry okay I'm not sure truck here so we didn't paint her cabinets this time we painted them in the airstream and we didn't say no but it was real wood I was gonna say it's probably yes it's the same what is this right here laminate top wood it's trickier right right and so that's maybe they're not [Laughter] oh all of our homeschool stars and all of our shoes here and then on the other side in the bedroom is this basically the same little configuration except that this is the deep section and so it that's where I like our clothes so really cool getting a little bit of everything everything from like taking standard trailers and we're doing with stuff that's brand new that already has a cool layout that they've modified for 2020 or 2019 you know yeah I love that you can add your personal touch no matter the year you can take something old you can take something new and just make it your own and I love but that's what we get to see on this tour is how people have made it their own and some people they leave it just the same because they like the way it is so it's just maybe more about organization or finding the right space for them and others it's about how can I make this feel more like home and get to use my crafty side so this is just so much fun well here's a whole other options so you can also customize something to your own likings from the factory like completely build those companies but you can custom design things so there's a company called space craft which sounds exactly yeah so we're going to show you next is gonna be a space craft fifth-wheel customized from the factory for the family so there it is check that thing out it's kind of big oh and there it is it's a 45 feet of beauty here now these are pretty light you just go by the f250 hook it up you ready to roll so no just kidding you will typically see these pulled with something way bigger than that yeah what I wanna do is count the number of steps it's like a high-end diesel motorhome and a high-end fifth row like had a baby so what's what are the advantages disadvantages or choice with the what they do they didn't know the thirstier map yeah actually start with this and they hand sanded down to Matt and it's like thousand dollars it's really easy to clean and you know you know like and I like all the interior letís going down first time talking to him in April I think they order stay on December and then we started building in January we had mime a little over a year like start to finish yeah yeah bull saws oh you won with a split bunker this is awesome yeah hard with it stuff in there i'll at least show you lifts up and latches into place and you have a desk yeah yeah well once you suck you get away with split in this room I've seen a few layout to do that if you split that room that's really awesome you do with all the different relation oh yeah well half bath minimal I got Jack and Jill that's cool you for inspiration for the you guys got two and one on the way alright so we're ready to roll underneath there was just and then when just a couple months ago we better it's crazy quiet yeah about as long as they ever get to this well you guys it's it's LG yeah there's a medic usually does everything so what these are many residential Vinny's presidential mini-split okay okay okay so yeah that's counting the basement down there okay okay and there's just too these cassette heat exchangers in here okay but they're um they're ducted into here so you can get some airflow every you have propane as well there's a propane furnaces yeah because these will be really yeah I kind of thought it'd be good to have boondocking yeah these are good surprisingly like down to minus fifteen Fahrenheit but still if we got a hot car right on winter or something have you have you messed around I know you got a lot of solar and lithium like if you messed around with the power draw on this when we run everything overnight air conditioners and everything it works fine overnight yeah not promising that's a happy time soon baby but you got a decent amount of lithium how much do you yeah that's twelve hundred amp hour to learn about the lithium does so but but still overnight run at a season anything you want that's that's legit we're trying it this summer like I never use more than 50% power overnight huh [Music] that's fine then I think some of the coldest nights we've had it in heat pump mode I think I've used probably 70% overnight where's this enough for me like I just wanna be able to get through the night and not worry about the power and you can you know yeah yeah yeah all over the generator oh yeah yeah we have 3000 watts on the roof of their power to get it back to so yeah I'm curious I've never done the numbers like these compared to the standard Domenic's everybody's use because I'm actually kind suppositories the splits more I've heard they're more efficient but I never say these are because spacecraft is their go a lot of trailers for Hollywood team they have very specific requirements like they do I have had the Dominican on them the ceiling because they had people just come and change them out of something breaks and they won't let them do the mini splits for them and they recently did one like green trailer to test it and they had to put such so many batteries in there just to keep those domestics running like over twice as much as they would have to for these well just giant burgers you're in a ballpark you're they're twice as efficient or at least I'm definitely at least a third more I mean yeah but this is her favorite spot to lay bottom and rear hey I would keep my sweets and there would be like not worth it yeah there's dishwasher it's a bath and a half I guess okay yeah I like the I like a split like this yeah the door opens oh yeah I'm a private yeah sweet up there yeah that's cool I like it no have two doors between me and these are pocket doors here they're secured in with Velcro tonight so they [Music] this is a 1972 vintage trailer this is really cool like we definitely got a soft spot for these so one of the really cool things I did with this is they went with a split unit on it instead of like a typical Dometic unit no propane all electric and they gutted this down to the studs the outside which is riveted much like air stream saved the outside save the windows save basically the frame and everything underneath and everything else just gutted down the studs we love all things vintage I don't know there's just something about restoring something old and bringing a lot to it Nathan and I both have a passion for that as soon as we drove in this vintage trailer caught our arm like it's so cool so I'm so excited that they have this one on the tour because you just don't see stuff like this every day and I love bringing something to life and giving it your own personal touch so this one's gonna be great not skimp on the tires they're sweet great job yeah [Laughter] so we're full electric no propane and we kind of need to know what is going on where especially while boondocking so these gauges are our primary 12-volt these are our primary 120 volt and then we have a temperature sensor on the inverter with cooling fans just in case things get hot and there we have everything well so from left to right we got our solar our grounds all our 12-volt power and our 120 well that's the cool thing about getting it down to the studs you kind of get to do it however you want you said you weren't problems at the voltage dropping whenever the unit would kick in and so hopefully that won't Ryan should we shouldn't have that issue as bad with a lithium so yeah if you got to run heavy stuff we talked about lithium being the way to go definitely I mean this unit has been fantastic split paneer unit you were telling me like this maxes out 800 watts maybe 900 tops yeah so right now it's blowing nice cold air and it's pulling 500 yeah so this one is primarily just for the air conditioning unit so this is a moving it's an inside fight yeah it's an inside slide have we ever seen an inside slider cool some tiny house tours yeah I do a lot of like the manual once but I don't think I've seen yeah they're still yeah grease the amount of space Oh the bed's coming down there and that's what I put together how do you mention bed okay huh push it and the all magical door whose design was this that's genius you should design our videos below so then you have to always remember to pull it out before you so now I like an enclosed movable Murphy but I don't even have a good way to describe it it's a so much yeah that's uh that's awesome it's a yeah so I guess you designed and built it mm-hmm genius are these little measurable there's a TV on the left it's really slow watching TV go get the popcorn I think the speeds goes with how much money you spent it does allow us still to enjoy the windows during the day yeah no that's great that's a great kid has its own bedroom and we can still watch TV primarily YouTube I heard one say and I really liked it they said we are looking to have our kids that have their own space and it's for them but it's also for us and I'm like you are totally yeah you were totally right on that cuz you're Nate I've seen these we sell an Airstream I guess we use those to its full likea kitchen ah yeah there you go the nice thing is that IKEA gives you all the tools to design and figure it all out considering everything really goes by like 15 foot section 15 inch section this is so easy to figure it all out the toughest thing on this build was trying to figure out how to make a floor plan work with the windows and the wheel wells right can't put a hallway where wheel wellis and you can't build a wall where a window is so it took us probably a month month and a half just measuring and trying to figure out where to put what and that's where Jessa come on came up with this wall idea because we just couldn't figure out how to make it still feel open now that only lose one window yeah it's the smallest window the whole rig well braixen well when it's folded down yeah yeah because of the space we have one sink so the sink is for the kitchen but also for the bathroom so if not only do we need a bigger bathroom or room to change we got separated and then we've got one here for the master and then we've got one if you're just taking a shower or well the reason why the floor is kind of wonky she has a fully enclosed belly mmm and so these are panels for access to all the water system so we can get to every single fitting in in the trailer I already tell I'm gonna walk it so imagine 2,800 BH care trailer and we took out the top to take the top bunk out got this this is awesome and I'm loving that yeah the National Park that's cool he wanted mountain scenery oh I haven't seen URI on the back fence curtain so when he closes it it feels all like st. V's mad mom and daddy and close himself in a calm down yeah you have tied in its just turquoise that I get it right what would you call this green no número mo maybe even roles don't ya the curtains are definitely emerald and this is called sea swell oh okay okay I like this yeah so it comes in all these different little piles talking about home reserve they're really good you know the order huh yeah organ it took about I think I think it was probably week so you yeah you've got a little bit of customization on what you want from them is that what you're saying yeah you can listen to different covers okay you can there's different there's a couple different styles to choose from and then you can get different covers there's like a huge array of covers and then like if I get tired of this I can just switch out the covers and then they have some that are washable so all of this comes off all the covers comes off really yeah Wow and so they ship it sorta like a key like comes in boxes and you check it out and assemble it and all that so they ship it all you have to go pick it up all that messenger yeah okay cool great design had that there was like an ottoman in the back there so that was easy to come out his legs got too long for that ottoman to be there for us to be able to sit here so we took the Ottoman out and the back cushions out and just left it like this because we still wanted the storage underneath how I wanted like chairs but then the swords really yeah yeah that makes sense these cushions you did oh don't Hobby Lobby I like this table better than the ones were the they pop in and you got a this it wobbles around like crazy yeah we pull that down and then we just go strap it down when we talk and of course it still does into a bed but it could be a bed but I can also take this table outside if I wanted to use it yeah yeah that's cool yeah I didn't want to paint yeah you know how hard it is to make cabinets but I wanted to lighten it up a little so I just put some contact paper on it how does your toaster what 40 years old 60 that copy part it's only like 10 bucks but it took me forever to find one that matched that wasn't a hundred and something done that's think so yeah we got the white one just instead of just a Hobby Lobby wallpaper or something anything special so Walmart just the paper okay the contact paper is so flexible what you can do I know we talked about even like our island tired of a design I know me like I love bold designs but then in like a year I'm like okay time for something new because if something is bold you want to change it out and that's why we put paper on the back of our fireplace because it's easy to change we can sell it you can take that right back and you can peel it off yeah if someone else doesn't like it they can change it here's a probably why you wouldn't want to ride in your travel trailer never move one time it moved this one came on because it hangs lower and I have that little suction soap thing and it never normally never doesn't move but it came on suction rolled over and hit the end of this and pop that night sometimes the suctions fall yeah so you don't really good job of like fine I think how long take the fine this one Wow like that we need a new one monk seen better days so essentially all you did was take the handle off by these baskets and put the handle back on that's great that's great [Laughter] made the mistake if it's my car you got I got I didn't get the pic I know that's the worst you come home with those some like these go all the way back and I mean you can't I can't reach all the way back here so these are just holes essentially before you put the drawers on yeah okay yeah what are you supposed to do yeah favorite ring I love unique things from each one of them I mean there's again there's not a one-size-fits-all you find what works best for you and your situation or your family and you make it work for you so I just love
