Is it really all about working and saving for a dream retirement when there’s no guarantee we will arrive there alive, let alone healthy enough to enjoy it? NO!
We're Jamie and Linda. We've quit the corporate world BEFORE retirement because nothing is Guaranteed. We'll be living a LOCATION INDEPENDENT lifestyle traveling North America working remotely and work camping.
Our home on wheels is ROSIE TOO. A 2006, Alfa See Ya motorhome.
We're bringing Dexter! 50lbs of vertically challenged canine who HATES travel!

I’ve been there many times, and so I can say that your video is very well done. Unless I’m just confused, it looks like you “created” a picture of a Galveston ferry headed right for the GISP bay walking bridge, which of course is impossible !
Haha. You are correct! Think of it as a movie poster. Where the important parts of the movie all have to be teased in 1 picture. Thank you for the compliment. Please consider sharing the video. 😊
Nice job you're doing with the rig. There's no question that the older rigs were built so much better than most of the stuff coming off the assembly lines now. I think it's far smarter to do what you are doing and the renovation process allows you to pick out the stuff you like. Save travels and enjoy!
@@RoamingWithRosie I do have to use DEF with my rig, but by 2015, they had made some corrections and there seems to be fewer problems than around 2012 or so.
Glad to see you made it to the West End Bar. I had a beach house in Spanish Grant (beach side) and we used to go to the West End all the time to eat. After 18 years, I sold the house and bought… an Alfa.
You have to be a tourist in San Antonio. It’s such a beautiful city. As a San Antonio native I had to watch when I saw u visited the Riverwalk. Casa Rio is a MUST stop! Yummy! Thank you for sharing and telling the history. Yes the Alamo is small but it is iconic.
I knew that before I decided to remove the decals. I already had in my mind that I was going to paint the rig. If buff and polish it will help but you’ll still see the difference. Thanks for watching!
What a great campground! I may try to work this into my trip to Q or on the way back in January. Tomball looks like a great town to explore. And the Space Center...amazing!
When you’re breaking down you rig to go home. 1. Dump the black tank 2. Dump the gray tank 3. Fill the gray tank 4. Fill and dump the black tank at least 2 times 5. Dump the gray tank 6. Add two scoops of “Happy Camper” - it adds enzymes and deodorizes. 7. Fill the black tank about 1/3rd+ full. 8. Hit the road and let the black tank slosh around. (The first time you do this fill and dump the black tank until the tank gauge registers empty, or starts to register less than before. Eventually it will become accurate and not register 1/3rd+/- when it’s supposed to be empty) If you do this regularly the solids that have built up in the tank and on the gauge float or sensor will be washed away and the smell will dissappear and your tank gauge will start registering accurately - unless it’s broken. You don’t have to do this every time you dump - just when you break down to get on the road. It’s all about washing all the solid buildup off the bottom, and the side walls of the tank. I’ve been doing this for years and between the wash out procedure and the “Happy Camper” the nasty toilet smells are gone and my tank always registers empty when dumped and always accurately reflects the black tank level throughout the trip. “No I don’t represent Happy Camper” - if you find something like it - use that. I’ve just found it to be my favorite.
We have a routine that works for us. The issue was the gasket on the bottom of the toilet was worn out. We ended up replacing the toilet and have had no issues since. Thanks for watching!
SORRY, but "dark enough to look at the eclipse" doesnt cut it. Dark has nothing to do with it. it is the suns uv rays that burn out your retina. A sliver of the sun still puts out uv rays that will burn out your eyes. They even warned against the cheap bogus Chinese glasses that people were buying to look at the sun. They do not block the rays, they only darken.
Nice Job youz guys! I am shopping for a <2011 Monaco to gut renovate and paint. Luckily, my father business was custom kitchen cabinet shop so I was trained in the spray booth but I like your method! All the Best! Cheers!
I live in Bellville, an a volunteer firefighter for Bellville Fire Department and Paramedic with Austin County. The noon siren is a historic marker for the locals. Many moons ago, the volunteer fire department used to receive their notifications about a fire via that siren. They would respond to the fire station to get the information they needed to provide fire suppression and any rescue services they were needed for. This was the only way the volunteers would get notified.
I lived in Bellville 40 years ago. I remember when the siren would go off. It was before the current fire station. I knew some of the firefighters. Bellville is a great little town. Thanks for watching and sharing!
Thanks Jamie - we have just purchased an Alpha motorhome, so we will be watching and learning from you guys. The slide-out rubber replacement was informative as ours needs to be done also and i am in for saving money.
This looks amazing! I definitely will be redoing my roof. Would you suggest anything different if there are small leaks? (97 Jayco trailer) has been patched a few times. But I think there is one leak over the bed…☹️
I would locate the leak and repair the damage. I put Eternabond tape on all of my roof seams then applied the Tropicool. Good luck with your project. Thanks for watching!
Love the job you did ! How Does the finish look like up close? We have a 97 triple e commander and are making a plan to paint her . I like the steps you took to paint Rosie and will probably follow your process if I can get the same paint . 👍👍on the video.
PPG Omni automotive paint with all the Omni components is so easy to do and only sand once before painting. If its hot get the extra slow reducer to let it flow out. Practice on something to set the gun and it would have been a long weekend, not three months. If you're smart enough to do the job you did, I'm positive you could manage using automotive paint and get it done once and walk away. If I can learn to do it anyone can. Enjoyed watching anyway, Thanks . DS
Thanks for the feedback - what kind of sprayer did you use and secondly will the Omni stick to the Rustoleum once sanded? I take it that the Omni is not a single stage paint and would need to hit with clear coat.
We are lifelong Texas residents, currently living full time in our rv with traveling in the summer. Texas Storm Chasers is our absolute "go to" for weather conditions year round. They have saved lives and even have some of their actual footage in the movie Twisters. Yes, Texas has bad weather at times, but if people just take the time to find out what to do in bad weather conditions, like you have, their time in Texas will be less scary. Now we are working in northwest Montana and it's fire season so we have those factors to consider and be wary of here. But in no way would this affect our coming here and enjoying this country.
Thanks for the input. We home base in New Mexico currently and even watch Texas Storm Chasers to check weather events near the state line. I like the calm way they report as well. I hope we helped many to make a plan ahead. There really is no way to avoid unexpected weather anywhere we travel these days. And fires popping up so much in the west. All we can do is be informed & know what to do. Stay safe.
LOL. That's why we made a point of telling viewers to go there. That it is the best way to support their recovery. Our Texas series will show people why.
@@RoamingWithRosie I have so many places on the west coast yet to visit. I watch lots of RV channels to enjoy the rest of the country but wouldn't pull my trailer beyond Arizona and Nevada. I'll do the east coast following some of Grand Adventures tips but I'll fly out and rent a car for that. Id like to park my fifth wheel in Banff for three months some day..
