Since 2012, we’ve made Part-Time RVing our Full-Time adventure! We have stationary but flexible jobs, so we go as much as we can! On our channel, we explore ways we can still live an ACTIVE traveling lifestyle in the most realistic & affordable ways we can, as OFTEN as we can! Our RV’s don’t sit & let the grass grow underneath them!
We’ve owned 5 campers so far; 2 Fifth Wheels, a Class A Gas, a Class A Diesel Pusher, and then back to a Travel Trailer! Yep, our journey has been incredibly unpredictable!
We have 5 kids, young adults & teens, and our crew changes each time we go.
We hope to inspire the experiences-over-things mindset & focusing on what’s truly important; family time and lasting memories. Hopefully you’ll find our tips, tricks, repairs, & reviews helpful too!
I installed the Snap Pads on my 2023 ORV 24RLS (9" feet) using my 2 ton hydraulic jack (with a block of wood to create even pressure) instead of trying to use the manual control of the leveling system on each leg. Done in an hour. Dish soap is definitely a must for installation success.
We had our family reunion their from before I was born till 2021. They destroyed a great park that locals loved to build an overcrowded RV park that makes more money for the state. I have heard other locals complaining about having to relocate their family reunions as well after the remodel. As an RV guy, I can respect what they call upgrades. But as someone that has gone there for 45 years, I know it was better before.
You need to do a lot more research about what is 3/4 ton towable. Your payload capacity of your truck will determine that more than the weight of the trailer. Look at the pin weight and remember that you have to add your your hitch and everything to your truck to the payload. It adds up quickly.
I too am looking to go Super C and love Renegade. Check out the Verona V36b. It does have a radius shower but is on M2 106 chassis, is all electric, and has cab over bunk. Retails for around $410k but you can get that down to around $300k. Around the price you mentioned.
Love your channel and I am all about the Jayco Super C down the road. Our first TT was a Jayco White Hawk and our current is a Jayco Jayflight. I really love Jayco and they are affordable! Loving the new kitchen (yes I peeked) and I think that sign would go great over that door that was behind you. Of course I did not see what was in front of you LOL. I am definitely going to buy some merch!
@@kristingrounds4163 I thought about that doorway, but we found another spot for it for now. We’ll be showing y’all soon! Thanks so much! Always good to hear from ya!
We have Entegra Esteem 29V class c. We love the floor plan it has. The bunk window gets very hot. I'm hoping to have it tinted this week before we head to Florida in 2 weeks. It's a clear ceramic tint that reduces the heat, like 60%. My wife's dream is to get asuper c. Love watching your videos.
Nice super C video review. I’m with you wanted a C but got an Alliance 382 RK. Your kitchen although not finished, it’s looking good! New Montana? Could be a Brinkley also!
Awesome review. We love the Renegade Verona LE 40LRB, same floor plan as the Explorer but not on Cascadia chassis. Not in the budget.. hmm i still have 2 kidneys, I only need 1.. LOL. Great floor plans. Thanks for sharing.
@@marknorwood107 Honestly, we didn't say much about them since they were show prices. I do know the Jayco was the cheapest just because our local dealer has those up the road from us.
I just wanted to mention, I also love Renegade. They have models with the bunk over cab.. I have to say that the floor plan that you looked at, I don’t like. The refrigerator right behind the driver, mostly a safety thing with me, and I prefer the televator, and I’m with you about the radial showers, I hate them. Renegade is a solid product, and I would stick with that brand, or a Newmar. Since Thor bought Tiffin and Jayco, I stay away from them. Tiffin has been having some real issues with their coaches, and if you are spending that kind of money on a product, you expect a good product and service. Jayco has seemed to cut corners also. Oh and the board on the bed is for the stairwell. So you don’t fall in
@@BajaGirl302 Everyone we talk to who has the Renegades seems to like them. I think the cheaper models tend to have that radial shower. I would definitely consider that Super C, though.
Hi guys, After having years of traveling and our last rig was a Winnebago C we are “ armchair travelers” now. I think your channel is done well. I appreciate your lack of hype and you just being yourselves. Thanks for campground tours, show tours, and personal chats! Plus Golden nuggets 👍🏻
@@RussellSimmons-p6r Thank you so much! I’m sorry I don’t know, these were custom built and stained. I don’t know the brand of the stain used. I could ask, but it’d be sometime next week before they got back to me. The off white I do know is Alabaster by Sherwin Williams.
Hi guys, we get home from church on Sundays and me and my wife look forward to watching your videos. Appreciate your channel. God Bless you always in your journey’s.
@@OurNextAdventurejvh I've been stuck on wet grass or gravel with 4x2 trucks before. Plus the F-600 is diesel. I prefer diesels for power and exhaust brake.
@@the4mouseketeers Thanks so much! It IS much lighter and brighter! Will show you guys more soon, it’s complete now. Sure, if y’all wanna sport a Jarrett’s bike tour T, shop away! 😎😜
One of the reasons we bought our 2020 Dynamax Super C was that it has propane and switches! lol - sometimes it is the little things! Of course Scott liked the M2 106 Chassis vs the S2RV Chassis (Jayco, etc). Mind you - we would LOVE to have bigger chassis like the M2 112 or a Cascadia… or KW! Gotta look at a custom 1492 Coachworks for that though 🤑
I agree with the Renegade, except when you open the door you are looking at the Toilet if the restroom doir is open. But the price tag is WAY up there , as noted the Cascadia chassis will do that. The Tiffin was awesome outside, not a fan of the interior. The Jayco ... I would prefer the sister coach from Entegra. My favorite (with reasonable price) was the new Pasadena layout. The new XL was awesome. Show Hauler will build on a Pete chassis, way out of my range. Start at $800+ Great video
I love the Super C’s, largely because they just look like a big a$$ truck as opposed to a bus. We didn’t pay much attention to those just because we were trying to cover the TT’s and 5th wheels on our list. So hard to see it all, next time we’ll take a look. Sherri from MD is excited about the merch store, this video is going to be expensive lol.
Cover on the bed in the Renegade is for the stairwell so nothing or no one falls down the stairs while moving about like when in motion or parked. Higher trim levels have motorized stairs we'll covers.
The renegade was simply beautiful. The decor was very home. Wow, the Tiffen RV had me at the bedroom and bathroom. Alex isn't a fan of having a washer/ dryer because he says I'll be doing laundry all the time😊 (he's probably right) the Jayco was nice but kinda dark. Love the Adjustable bed.
I am with you on Super C’s should be built on Paccar trucks! Pete’s and KW. It’s a shame you can longer power them with Cat engines! Nobody really wants to drive a Volvo or Freightliner! I don’t like the black wheels on any big trucks. I and from the polished aluminum camp and chrome!
@@carlwilliams1570 A big, long, square nose on a Pete or KW twin stacks, air cleaners, and a drop visor with a 3406B Cat would be incredible. I can go either way on the black or chrome wheels. It just depends on the overall look of the rig.
We too like the Super C’s, but the one’s I like are out of our price range. We are retiring in 10 months so we went with a Brinkley Z3400. We love it. For us it checks all the boxes. Maybe someday though we might go with a gently used one.
Good Morning J&V, Great video this week. Let me ask, am I the only one that does not understand 2 baths or a bath and a half in RV’s? I just don’t understand an area of 8 feet by 30-40 feet having two baths when space is so important in any type of RV. Just seems like that space could be better used for something else. Also my wife is currently surfing the Tobacco Barn site, I think it’s gonna cost me a lot!! We have really been looking at the Cedar Creek 5th wheels lately, well built and durable. Take Care!! Have Fun!!! Stay Safe!!
@@johnhay1782 Hey there! Yes, we too don’t love having to clean two baths, but in drivables, that half bath closer to the front is great for using when driving or stopping to fuel up. You don’t have to get out and go use the public bathrooms! We loved it in our class A during our travels over the Covid years. In 5th wheels, we don’t think it’s necessary to have two. Just our opinion from experience of having to clean two. Yes go support a small, local business! Great people and fun stuff!
All very nice RVs, guys, but purchase for yourselves, not your kids. Before you know it, they will not want to go camping with you any longer, so get something the two of you like. We upsized from a 29 foot travel trailer to a 39 foot Montana 5th wheel back in 2018, and we love it. It has a king sized sofa bed in the rear and we've used it only once when family came with us. It is really a couples coach with all the luxury for just my wife and myself. Our Montana has one Schwintech electric slide for the king bed up front, and 4 opposing hydraulic slides in the main living area, with a ton of Lippert components throughout. Our Montana was to be our last RV purchase, so we ordered it loaded with all the goodies. In 6 years, nothing has failed on our 5th wheel, which is why we went back to Keystone for our Montana after having a Keystone Springdale travel trailer for 8 years with zero problems. Montana is the #! selling 5th wheel for so many years for a good reason, they don't fail. Keystone has Montana High Country 5th wheels which are lighter than the traditional Montana and are 3/4 ton towable, and a step up from their Cougar line. Check out those Montana High Country units. I think you'll be surprised at the build quality and the many floorplans available. Have fun while finding the perfect 5th wheel you will enjoy for many years!
Not to familiar with Alliance, but many campers with the same floor plans were less $$ than my Brinkley. What I paid for was the tires, Axles, the way they did their wiring and plumbing, the standard solar panel and the 18,000 BTU Chill Cube AC unit that I can run on my 2200W Honda generator. Used to have to use 2 generators that size to get half the cold air. I was more interested in reliability. After spending time time in and under it doing my modifications, the fit and finish is by far the best I've been around.
OMG I feel like a rockstar!! I’m Sherri from MD 😃. You remembered me ❤️❤️That makes me feel special. Thank you guys very much! ☺️ keep rocking those Carhartt t-shirts Jarrett 👍😜. Loved meeting you guys. It was the highlight for us.
Awesome video, y'all! I live in Dandridge an didn't even know about this rv park! 😮 I am shopping for my first camper and was just watching rv videos and yours popped up! I am going to run over there to check it out this week! Maybe I will rent a camper until I can get my own. I have subbed and I hope I will see y'all here or on the road soon! Blessings from Dandridge!
Just saw the 353VIK at Dallas Southwest RV Supershow a week ago and loved it. Definitely want a BAL frame. Kitchen was a little small and needs a window behind the cooktop, but really liked the coffee bar/pantry configuration.
