Hey everyone! We're Daina & Mike :) Just two Canadians who fell in love with full time travel and the personal growth that it brings. In July of 2022 we both left our jobs, moved into an RV and spent the next 13 months traveling all around North America with our three dogs! We are currently back at home and prepping for our next big adventure in a brand new home on wheels. Join us as we continue our travel adventures and share this beautiful world with our three musketeers.
What I also liked is that when you walked in the first thing you didn't see was a bed. My biggest complaint is the lack of oven. They dropped the ball hard on that. This would be perfect for a single person.
I have 2022 jay feather micro 171bh, and I had the same issues with the leak from the toilet (fiting not screw on properly). The drawers not being supported properly where I had to fix’s in on the fly on our trip (adding in supports), last year in the middle of nowhere in Cape Barton. Max air vent being mounted backwards and the bathroom fan breaking. I also had the seal on the exterior of the front of the trailer falling off and was attempted to be repair three times until the third time they replace the whole channel and now it’s good. Also on our last trip I also notice the fridge shifting. Also the kitchen sink was delaminating which is fix now and is sealed. Great little trailer. But it’s eye opening to see that some one else is having the same issues
I also found extra and missing screws is some places, I also some unplug plugs behind the kitchen. I assume it was for the water tank pads, which I plug back in.
Hey guys!!! thanks for all the awesome videos! We are going follow in your footsteps with our family of 4 :) Hopefully soon. Just looking into which Trailer to get. These are our top choices. Which one would you recommend us? NB20.3 Rockwood Mini Lite 2509S Jayco Feather 21MBH Surveyor 240BHLE Ember 22 ETS Passport 221BH Ember 221 MSL They all have about the same layout which i think will work well for our fam. But ideally we want something that doesnt fall apart during the trip and yet is very livable when stationary (so has a slideout). Do you have any recommendations? Kind Regards, Dirk&Cynthia from Mexico
I think considering ya’ll beat the tar out of it, it held up great. Our local dealer has been great too, and Jayco excellent and fast. Unreal they replaced the axle with the off roading ya’ll did. This has been the best long term review I have seen in 2 years of videos and I have seen so many. Thanks for not bashing Jayco.
Not being critical, but every camper I have seen says “DO NOT TRAVEL WITH A FULL TANK”, and that’s on normal highways, lol. Incredible it held up at all going off road, lol. Excellent review though, not sure I have seen a long term boondocking review
Thanks for this video! Really difficult to find info on this setup that jayco includes on their trailers. There was 1 sheet of "info" we found in our folder, which is basically just a sales sheet of GoPower products. I've been worried it's more difficult than they lead you to believe, but your video shows clearly how easy it is. Thank you for this!
I understand the miles you put on this but I'd be done w/it after the axle broke. And that's after a new full brake assembly replacement. I get all the other stuff mostly caused by the flexing when towing. All trailers flex but I'd be done when axle broke. Thanks for the review!!
Please stay off our beaches the gringos have just about destroyed them with their RVS.We are trying to save them for future generations.But the gringos are very selfish and seem to not care about it.
Please stay off our beaches the gringos have just about destroyed them with their RVS and trucks. Don't be so selfish. We're trying to save them for future generations.

Hi!! I know this is an older video, but I have a question. How much was just your trip to Baja? We are thinking of doing it ourselves, and we are curious. Thanks!!!
AWESOME to hear about your amazing adventures! You should be getting paid by the company to this! Because you have perhaps put this rv through more than anybody. THX 👍
Great video. Thank you 1st time I did that journey was in the winter of '02. (Hauling a bulldozer to Ft. Liard). At that time, it was all gravel. There was a stopping place midway called Checkpoint. Bought the T shirt, but Ive misplaced it in the last 2 decades.
So....50k miles and everything inside is either completely worn out or in need of serious repair. Obviously you used it as a living space for all that time and daily. So a normal usage of possibly one weekend a month and one or two full weeks a year is actually pretty good usage. Hmmm, typical slightly heavier usage would be One weekend a month and two weeks a year equating to just under 45 days in a year, that comes out to close to 8 years and that doesn't even account for your harsh conditions that most people will never do. The fact that the honey moon falls off dramatically after the first year or two means even less usage. Shoot, most people are gonna get 12-15 years use. Thats not to bad for a 30K trailer.
Excellent video !!! I thoroughly enjoy videos like this one, first hand full experience of a product !!! I have always wondered if a single axle travel trailer would make it across the country !!! Thanks so much for this incredibly informative video !!! Definitely going to subscribe !!!
I'm amazed and impressed with your digging on into the project, learning as you go, doing it the rightest you can, lol!! One of these days I'll find my travel partner, I feel it in me bones, I do! 😊❤
The main reason people use the domestic is that its highest draw is still less then the nomadic Coolings eco mode. Its wildly more efficient but it is 1000-1500 less BTUs
I get lots of cars in my bay at work with the winter wheels full of dirt and rocks. I have to wash them off the car individually or there is a giant vibration.
Great video! It's crazy to me that Ford didn't consider this issue with the e-brake considering how popular conversions are. One concern I have is that it looks like you can't set the brake and use the swivel. So the process is release the brake and open the door every time you want to swivel the drivers seat...?!?!? Ugh!
I don't know if you know about Gander, NL you passed though/ by going to Sy John's. It was where over 100 planes took refuge while 911 was happening & the whole community came together and fed& brought people/ strangers into their home for the few nights that they were stranded There's a museum in Gander to go view the amazing stuff that's still there from that adventure..
