After 45 years of marriage and 4 children, we now have 12 grandchildren that are a true blessing and one of the many reasons why we cannot do what you all are doing because we feel we would just miss too much. This is why we live through you guys and enjoy your weekly videos. Cannot thank you enough for sharing your adventures with all of us. Thank you so much!
One of the reasons we decided to do what we are doing is because we were unable to get much time with our granddaughter (at the time, now a grandson also) and it was too painful being so close but not getting much time as others did. So we had a very boring routine life, so we decided to live our vision while we were still living and able. We still get to do FaceTime and occasional visits. Not everyone situation is the same though unfortunately. They are a bundle of joy, that’s for sure. 🧡😊🤓
You two have become my favorite couple to watch. You two remind me of my funny and loveable aunt and uncle. They, too, love adventure, even at 75 years old.
How do you guys choose your routes and where you travel? You find the most amazing places to visit. I love the history you provide and the background music. Excellent production across the board.
Sometimes it’s places where we’ve wanted to go, sometimes it’s suggestions from others, and sometimes we find hidden gems by accident or just searching on Google.
Loved this video! My folks lived in Dyersville and I was born in Dubuque. 😊 We really enjoyed our Door County visit a few years ago and need to go back! Thanks for reminding me! The Don’t be Late song is so timely!
Hi from England! My wife and I visited The Field of Dreams in 2013, it’s certainly changed somewhat! When we were there we met Donny Lansing who originally owned the property and he explained how he was first approached by the film company and how he thought they were nuts!! He was a lovely guy and spent a good 20 minutes chatting with us. It was certainly less busy, we had another 3 cars in the parking lot only all the while we were there, we both hit balls and also walked out of the corn. It was a hoot! We got to say we love your videos and thank you for all the info you give and 24:06 the humour you provide. We always holiday in the USA and yours and other You Tubers give us a lot of ideas. Please keep it up, best wishes to you both.
On the video, to door county; you had us just about rolling on the floor with your comment “ I’ve got some, in my bag”. All good. Keep up the great work. And thank you for your efforts.
Glad your back on the road again! This was so much fun to watch👍👍Loved watching on a very hot day in Nevada which has it's own beauty, but so nice to see the lush green, water and loved all the sailboats. Beautiful!!
Love Door County! One of my favorite places. Lots of good food, shops, hiking trails, and beautiful scenery. The last couple of years, we camped at Wagon Trail Campground in Ellison Bay. Great place to camp.
Hi Guys, Sweet video Brian. You are a talented video maker! I thought of you guys a few weeks ago…I was eating coconut cream pie at Sherman’s deli in Palm Springs. Sorry Michele🤣
“Hat girl” here…just met you guys near Minneapolis, and here we sit at Oneida Casino (on our way to Door Cty), watching this video. Love coincidences like these. Safe travels!
Glad you had the cherry pie for me Michelle!!😋. My favorite!! Thanks😊. I’m sure it was a blessing to spend time with family….especially the grandkids!! Prayers for safe travels. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Thank you so much for the quick disconnect idea. I put them on yesterday, can't wait to try it out. Before I could never get all the fittings tight enough and so there was always a drip.
What beautiful country you saw. So much to do! I love baseball so enjoyed Field of Dreams. As far as doing all the stairs…remember you haven’t been hiking for 2 months or more. That probably made the difference. Thank you for another great one! Safe travels. Kathi
Do you have a video with the breakdown of what you spend daily? Weekly? Monthly? It would be helpful for someone who is considering this type of lifestyle. Love your videos. You always go places that I am interested in seeing.
Yes, we did a breakdown about 3 years ago or so, that you can find by searching our videos. It is to give everyone an example but that can drastically change depending on what each person/couple spends and how often they travel for fuel expenses. Lots of factors but it gives an idea.
Yaaay...you are back on the road. I love how you having a small bites of the sweetness here and there...Love the video. Love Door County..Beem there 3 times.
We are back on the road again, too! That bag is awesome! I read comments, suspense is over. Going into the next van. I wonder what the upgrades are. Don’t tell me now! Lol.
We’ve still been editing the videos we took along the way from Florida to Iowa while we were in Iowa for the 2 months. Those are the ones we’ve been showing every week while we were there.
I’ve watched your channel from the very start and remember when you pulled out with your RV the first time! I love watching RU-vid, but because of personal reasons, viewing has been a bit sporadic. Hence the late comment! Your videos are always full of fun and information which is appreciated as I know the hard work you put into making them, plus you have full time work to do! Thanks Brian and Michelle. ❤
Love how Michelle is always hunting down great pie. We search for bakeries when we travel, also home-made donuts. Your traveling in an area way on the other side of the U.S. from us. ( Northern California Coast) So green there (in WI) even in July. Love your closing music, you always know the perfect moment to insert it too. Thanks for your work in making these videos.
Great video as usual! Being a southern Iowan originally, loved hearing about your time back in the home state. I lived in Dyersville from 1993-2017, so I call it my second home town. I worked in the tourism industry there so am very familiar with FOD. Door County is a pretty place to visit. Will look forward to seeing your new wheels eventually! :)
Great to see you on the road again and you got to spend time with family. Two baseball content videos in a few week. Me likely. One of my favorite movies as well.
Dang I live in Door county! I wish I had ran into your channel weeks ago, it would have been cool to have met you guys and given you tips to places the locals know more then the tourists. If you ever come up again, let me know 😊
Really enjoyed this weeks adventure, especially the cherry pie parts........lol Yes, besides a good donut, I love cherry pie. Continued safe travels !!! Miss you guys !!!
Glad you were able to get through door county. We loved our stay there last year. We stayed at Tranquil Timbers as well. Tricia and I loved the cherry doughnuts. Thanks again for the wonderful entertainment.
Thanks for the great video. We are planning to go up to the Green Bay Packers Training camp in a couple weeks & I just found the Oneida Casino has some campsites. Loved the video so now we have a visual. We also hope to take a day to drive up to Door County so the timing of your trip and video is perfect. Safe travels!
Since I originally subscribed to your channel, I bought myself a VR headset. One of my favorite things to do on VR is to watch 360 travel videos. If you have never experienced VR, it's like you're actually there. I would love to see some of your travels in full immersive video.
I am so glad you got to spend so much time with family! Door county looks beautiful. I chuckle every time Michelle gets a special drink and the Brian tries it 😂 he never seems to like it. I would’ve had to use the ramp up to the tower, steps would have been miserable for me lol. Oh my goodness, I want that strata van soooooo bad 😭 can’t wait to see the new one! Safe travels!! 😁
Happy (belated) Anniversary! Door county , it was great video, but just glimpse of the beautiful area. Good plan to cover more with the trolly! I am Rhode Island and my Husband from Iowa but we also live and manage two motels in Algoma , (also live in Green Bay ) call the door to the door county) 😮 a hidden gem right on Lake Mi, little town (has a great winery, great cafe talezo cafe (healthy food) brewery, charter fishing for salmon.. Algoma was on your exit sign with Sturgeon. Mention RI only because Door county is New England of the Midwest. If you go back in the fall you will be amazed .Did a great job in your very limited time .. Thank you
Great video! So enjoyable to watch! I visited there in my van a few years ago. I had a waterside camp site at the Peninsula State Park for a few nights. I hung out during the day at the Fish Creek harbor where I parked my van for free. I enjoyed the water views there and walked through the shops in town. I drove out to Ephraim one day to get a famous chocolate malt at Wilson’s Ice Cream restaurant. I saw you pass by there on your video! Safe travels!
Yes, we walked up to Wilson’s one night also, just didn’t eat there or film it because we already ate. We parked there as well. No fee for parking. Beautiful area. 👍🏻
Brian, do you not use an EMS (surge/over/under voltage protection) between the 30 amp outlet on the pedestal and your power cord? And it looks like you don’t use a water softener, either. I’ve never heard of a fish boil. How was it?
You do not need an extra EMS with the Grech models. They have a very high quality one built in located back by the inverter and batteries that protects as well as your high end EMS systems that you plug in at the pedestal. I confirmed this with the engineer at Grech RV and he said it is overkill to use a second one. We have put it through the test on a bad pedestal with low voltage drops and it cut off the power to protect the system. Some of your low end EMS systems will not do that. This fish boil was fun to watch and the food was decent at the one we went to but heard the one at “The Old Post Office” is better.
Depends on our work schedule. We work 40+ hours a week, and traveling to destinations takes up a lot of time as well. If we have a chance to enjoy the outdoors in an evening or on the weekend then we do.
Happy you had a great time in Iowa. You left before all the Ragbrai bikers went thru the area. Told you the pie was good at Home Slice! We have not been to Door County in 20 some years, looks like it has changed a lot. Safe travels.😎🥸🤓
We still need to check Field of Dreams off our bucket list. We also love Door County so much that we're thinking of retiring there. My wife and I are about 3.5 hrs from Door County and go there a couple times a year, and my daughter and her family are just 2 hrs from there and go half a dozen times a year alternating between camping and hotel stays. It's a shame the weather wasn't more cooperative for your trip there.
Wow guys we were at Oneida Casino’s RV park that same night and were in site #3 and we could tell from your video you were in site 5 two stalls west of us! What a small world! We’ve been following you guys for a while now. We also drove up to Door County the same day you guys did. We are from Fond du Lac, WI and just love heading up there with our RV whenever we can. That same day we had an RV drive by us on Hwy 42 and threw a huge rock into our Mojito Jeep Wrangler Toad which shattered our windshield. We were just out for a joy ride that day to get some fresh cherries and it now turns out the windshield has to be replaced. So those cherries ended up costing us over $500. Never imagined I’d ever pay that much for a couple of pints of cherries. But all is good and no one injured, ha! I did spot your Gretch RV in the IMAC parking lot which must have been before you checked in to park. I was going to comment to my wife as we drove by where you were parked that hey there is a van like LivinRVision but I just thought that’s silly to even mention it to her, I mean what are the odds. But now that we saw your video today it confirmed it really was you two. Hope you enjoyed your time in Door County and darn how we wish we would have bumped into you guys. That Saturday night we had a huge class A between us and after the Annual Green Bay Packers 5k Run/walk we being in our 60’s were a bit bushed that night so didn’t venture out to walked around like the other two nights we stayed there. Otherwise we probably would have had the opportunity to meet and chat with you. We very much appreciate the videos you produce and do such a wonder job with. So sorry you went up all those stairs at Eagle’s tower and then down the ramp. But you did figure it out after the fact to go the opposite way so that was good, ha! Maybe you can reply to us on this post in the future if you come back through Door County and we’d love to go get some pie with you!!😊❤
Oh no! So sorry about the windshield. Glad you were both safe though. We sure wish we could have met you guys too. We checked in a little late and left first thing in the morning. There will surely be another time hopefully. If you are going to the Hershey RV Show, maybe we will see you there. Safe travels!
@@LivinRVision If we get there we will definitely look you up! We’d love to buy your Gretch but right now we’re not willing to depart with our home which has an attached RV garage to do it! Take care and we will keep watching your adventures.
Every time I watch your videos you make me change my mind from getting the Grech Turismo to getting the kind you have the Strada. It’s big and beautiful. And you I’m assuming you haven’t had any issues parking it?
The only time we have run into issues parking is at a parking lot that had bushes or a steep incline behind us as we back into the spot. You have to hang the back end over until your rear tires touch the curb. Or if there are not any middle double spots left. Otherwise, we are usually able to find a place 99% of the time.
We missed out on purchasing a couple properties up there. Maybe some day. We really can not get over how clear the water is up there. You really have to go to Cana Island Light house and wade back from the island.. Very refreshing on a hot day in August. ;). We have had the fish boil where you went. Very good!
I visited Door County with a couple of girlfriends in 2019 and loved it. I’m sure you had a great time. Looking forward to a possible trip back here to the desert. Would love to get together again!
You guys were up in my neck of woods, wish we could of met up in door county. Since you didn’t need electricity couldn’t you stayed in the casino parking lot ? You forgot to rate your fish boil & cherry pie? Keep up the great work ❤your videos!!
Yes we could have just stayed in the regular parking lot. In fact Brian wanted to but I wanted to be with the other RVs and it just felt safer over there. Just my preference🤓and it was only $20. Fish boil was good! But if you go there try to get into The Old Post Office restaurant as they are the only ones who debone the fish for you. The cherry pie was very yummy too!! 🍒🥧😋
👉🚐👍Looks like a lot of change has taken place since being there several times in early 2000’s. We always camped at a campground in Bailey Harbor. As far as the fish boil, one time is good enough! Back thenI don’t think they had trolley tours. Have a Blessed Weekend! 👊
You were staying at the Adventure Land RV Park and went to Dunkin Donut about a half a mile from our home. Would love to meet you the next time you are in Des Moines.
We would love to meet you as well. Send us an email the next time you hear us talking about coming back to a Iowa so that we can try to make that happen. 👍🏻🧡
I have been debating on how to word this. I have watched all your videos and enjoyed all of them. When it comes to RU-vid, if a video is over 30 minutes (no mater what channel it is) it goes to the bottom of my priority list to watch. I’m sure I will go back and watch this video and your last video at sometime. Please no offense because I throughly enjoy your channel.
Completely understand and no offense at all. Each person has to realize that what they like may not be what others like too. Everyone is different and there are some that want them even longer. We realize we can’t please everyone and we also realize that nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors and knows the reason why some videos are longer. It is what it is and we do our best to please the majority of our viewers. Please take no offense, it’s just the way it is. Thank you. 🧡😊🤓
