6 Stages of Owning an RV

my favorite memory as a kid is having a flat tire on the trailer . While my dad replaced the tire I sat in my lawn chair and umbrella with my juice box and waved to everyone going by on i90. 😂 good times

Just like a boat, the 2 best days of your life. The day you buy it and the day you sell it.

Oh i love when you pull out the “be about a thousand” guy😂😂😂

Erma Bombeck wrote about buying an RV as a naive couple, struggling with it, and selling it to another naive couple in "When You Look Like Your Passport Photo, It's Time to Go Home." This is an excellent depiction of that kind of experience!

We just got back from HT reservoir a couple weeks ago with a rental. . Imagine my surprise when I send this to my husband( cause we are literally discussing buying one since then, and it made me chuckle) & he spots US in our spot in the background!!! It's the big brown bus😜 He was like," I saw them filming but thought maybe they were vlogging!" ( but couldn't understand why you would need such a big boom looking mic)🤣😆 We definitely did not talk to your wife about pineapples 🙈

I’m convinced when Taylor wants to buy something he gets it by telling Heidi “this would make for a great video!” And then it does make a great video and then he has the thing he wanted 😂

As someone who sells RVs there’s a saying in our industry, “RV’s are good for selling, not buying” 😂

The best day was when we sold our camper trailer. Why? Well after my family of 5 lived in it for 20 months while our house was remodeled after Hurricane Laura destroyed it, the sale meant we were really done with that stage of our life. We had wanted to start camping before the hurricane and after, we never wanted to set foot in a camper. The retired couple who bought it were happy and so were we. It served us well and paid off our van so it was awesome!

Bought a van in 2019, definitely totally unaware of what to look out for. Within two years almost everything broke down. It’s been probably already 5-7k in repairs only. New tires, that’s a thousand. Solar panels. New wiring. Roof window wasn’t sealed so had to replace it entirely and remove all the mold. We are still romanticizing about the trips we could do as a family with our daughter, that’s why we aren’t selling it (yet). But it’s been definitely a total waste of money!

The fact that the owner's wife kept the car running while they were talking about the RV should have been their first clue. 🙂 By the way does the mechanic have a brother who owns a marine store?

3:55 Love seeing the ‘bout a thousand’ guy again!! Probably my favorite Taylor character😋

As previous full time RVers, this was spot on 😂 One of our biggest mistakes was not pushing in the black tank lever after flushing it. Then when we went to dump the next time we got a nice surprise. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ It was a great day when we sold our 5th wheel and moving into a house again.

Bought a perfectly good 1988 chevy-powered motorhome for $750 at an estate sale. I spent a total of $100 fixing a couple little things, and I ended up replacing one of the already almost new solar panel batteries for $150 so I'm still under $1,000 all in. I've been living in it for the last 3 years and I drive it everywhere every day and I've never had a single problem, it runs and drives like it's brand new. They don't build them like they used to. Buy an 80s or older model and you'll never have to fix a thing. They were built to last. Now they're made out of cardboard Staples and plastic parts. Buy something in the 80s or the 70s models and you'll be driving it everyday with zero issues

When I was little my parents rented an RV to go up to Canada on fishing vacations. I loved it so much that one year the night before we were set to go I just went out to that RV and sat in it, nothing else. Just happily sat in the RV.

This is almost scary. My wife and I have been working on a used rv and I had to drop it off last week because we found out the AC and fridge weren’t working. Paid the repair guy… $1k to fix it. It’s like they know my life. Again scary.

I LOVE this. You guys are absolutely hilarious!!! This is so true, but you forgot steps 7- infinity. Buy a different RV and then brand new RV and then bigger and better RVs FOREVER! Hahaha! Much love from SD. 😊

As someone who travels fulltime with our family of 5 in a 5th wheel, this hits too close to home 😂.

This is hilarious! We bought a used trailer a couple years ago. There was a dumb shoe rack bolted to the floor next to the bed. I thought that was a terrible place for it so I decided to remove it. Thats when I found the huge hole in the floor 🤦‍♀️😄

Hmmm, this is how I felt about boats, but my RV 🥰😍💓💯. Not having to sleep in someone else's used bed is HUGE, the $ you save by making some of your meals during vacation is HUGE (not all, you are on vacation, just some). The community and nice people in an RV park is amazing, nearly everyone is friendly and instantly your friend. Beats staying in a hotel 100 different ways!

YOU GUYS NAILED IT!! My husband and I are dying!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 Been there, done that 3 times and NEVER AGAIN....I hope...
