How a POPUP Camper changed our LIVES! 

This video just sealed the deal! I've been stalking popups online for months. I've always wanted to be a camper but I HATE sleeping in a tent. I looked up renting a popup and it literally costs the same to buy a used one vs. renting one. We are in MN and can drive a couple of hours for a weekend trip. So pumped!

people that value life more than money. perfect.

We love our Jayco 1207. It's surprisingly spacious. We used to tent camp and find this setup and storage so much easier and better. Plus I sleep better. We bought a 6" foam mattress to upgrade. Had to use an electric kitchen knife to cut it to size. I take sugar and half and half in my coffee. It's real dairy milk! Can't leave it out. "Creamer" is synthetic. So nice that you live close to beautiful scenic places. If you like being out in nature - buy that pop-up! Can usually find them pretty cheap on marketplace.

Just bought a 1994 Jayco (usually tent camp) for 300 dollars and I can’t wait to use it! Currently cleaning it.

Hi want to thank you for your popup camping videos. Im 60 years olds an bought my first pop up camper last month after watching your videos . My wife an I have camped twice this month in Saint Augustine. We love it!And it's all because of you. Thanks

Last year I got a 12’ Viking and we have a lots of memories in just 1 summer, this year more adventures is on the way for sure . I love people like you guys , just enjoy the life without spend a lots of money, we are in the same way. Thanks for the video.

I love that you guys are appreciating what you have, to the utmost. That is the way to enjoy life, my friends.

Captain Jack - PappyDC1 here. We are HERE at the wonderful "Hideaway" campground in Navarre. Wife and I paddling our kayaks all over the Santa Rosa Sound. (Ok- maybe just 1/2 mile back and forth in front of the campground) Throwing all kinds of plastic for speckled trout but am told it's too late and the fish are not back here in the bays. Anyway, saw some dolphins or porpoises - they swam near our kayaks - glad they weren't sharks! (they weren't sharks - right?) We are from Indiana - everything "could be" a shark! Met a guy on fishing on the gulf side of Navarre Beach. Said he was having lunch with you tomorrow (Dec 8) His youtube channel is FishOutLoud..... Out here...Pappy

I showed this video to my fiancée who I have been trying to convince to get a UK version (which are slightly different) of a pop-up camper for months, and this is the only thing that’s finally made her agree! We have been camping in tents all of our lives, but I’ve had enough of sleeping on the floor and wanted to switch things up. Trouble is we both HATE caravans. The UK types are all timber made big white boxes with about as much appeal as a wet lettuce… I’ve been thinking for ages that a fold-out camper would be a great alternative for us, but trying to convince Lucy that a 20 year old trailer is the way forward has been an absolute no go. I showed her this video on Sunday and it was like the penny FINALLY dropped! She could see what you can do to re-decorate and clean them up, now long story short our first ever fold-out camper is coming home tomorrow! We’ve spent what would have been our honeymoon money on this because we were also meant to get married last weekend and couldn’t - feeling for you Yak! Thank you Yak for getting through to Lucy where I couldn’t. We love your videos on the camper and how you did yours up, it’s inspired us to throw caution to the wind and have fun with our new project!P.S. - Absolutely love the walking-nacho’s ideas! Right on the top of my to-do list when we’re able to take the camper out on her maiden voyage.

You know how to make life good. Money doesn’t always give joy!!! Keep smiling!!!!

After the new year we’re getting our first pop up! I cannot even wait! After tent camping, the kiddos wanted more!! So a pop up it will be. ❤

I love this video because the pop-up is how I found your channel… I was searching for information on tips when buying a pop-up camper..... And now I get to see all the different parts of your life that you share here, it’s awesome!!!

Dude we have had 2 different pop ups with our kids growing up for 20 years ! 3 years ago moved up to a 23 ft Rockwood Roo hybrid still have the canvas but a full bathroom microwave 8 cubic ft ref with a freezer that MAKES ICE ! AC Heated mattresses, 23ft weights 6800lbs our daughter just bought a 19 ft rockwood all the bells no slide weights 4500lbs ! Love the beach video If you get ready to upgrade a Hybrid is the way to go !!!

Thank you!! I love your message and really needed to hear it. I had to buy a new car, so ensured that I looked for good towing capacity. Next is to get the hitch and the camper. Pop ups have been the top of my list.

Now that's what I'm talkin about! As long as I have A/C and a grill outside, I'm good. Enjoy moments. We haven't missed a beat with our water life here in NC. Who ever came up with that taco in a bag idea is a freakin Genius! Might do that tomorrow. I wish you, Jack and Samantha the best with those wedding plans! Glad you linked those other videos to this one. As always, thanks for sharing your thoughts and your adventure with us!

Great video! We absolutely love our pop up camper, this will be our third summer with it. We just got back from a grand adventure "social distancing" on a lake in TN and at 2 spots in FL. So much better than a hotel room with 4 kids. 😳 Making great memories. 💗

We went from tent camping, to pop up, to travel trailer. Kids grew up, we sold travel trailer, moved to Florida and started over. Tent camping didn’t last, so back to a pop up! Refurbished it using some of your ideas and are loving the “adventures” again! Keep up the vids Yak!

Ive been popup camper camping since 2000, its great changed out to a high wall Rockwell, it's luxury popup worth the money. Love the way you can open up the camper and feel like youre in nature. Its great

I just bought a 1964 nimrod Rivera I pick it up today going camping this weekend excited for it to change my life too!!!

pop up camping is the best. Off the ground but not away from nature but part of it. Love it , have fun.

Great video...This is why we love Navarre and will never move. Love the small town vibe and some of the best beaches and fisheries.

I start the remodel of our pup tomorrow morning. Excited to make new memories. Thanks for being an inspiration.

Love seeing young folks camping , we heading out this weekend , there's nothing like camping

Mentioned this video to my wife who was looking for beach trip ideas. Just got back from 4 days in Navarre. Wife and kids loved it. Pretty laid back compared to Fort Walton and Destin. Navarre should add you to their tourism campaign!

This was a really good video, Yak. I really liked the tone of it. Your camper looks like one of the tents from 1001 Arabian Nights on the inside after you guys re-did it. Sorry you and Sam couldn't get hitched this weekend, but the only thing you're missing is a piece of paper at this point. You're living good - keep being awesome.

I'm getting a camper Friday I love your channel Thanks to you and family.

We have some of our best memories in our Pop-up. Nothing is a wonderful as the sound of raindrops on the canvas. We have moved up to a 5th wheel and have talked about going back to a pop-up

I see a lot of you tubes on pop up remodels but I like your approach. Some remodel just to have a channel and followers but you do it to document your experience with your family and actually use the pop up . Thanks for your channel

We bought a 1985 sunlight pop-up with our wedding gift money for 600 bucks. Best 600 I've ever spent. The canvas needs replacing bad after all these years but I keep patching it with gorilla tape. Thanks for sharing y'alls adventures with us. Peace!

Thanks for this! We talked about everything. Cabins, Lake Homes etc. A Popup? A great way to make memories! We are IN

The lady and I have been contemlating getting a pop-up. We are big time adventure people. This is a great video. Giving me a big push.................

I binge watched your popup camper playlist just because I stumbled across it. My husband and I have a pop up and we bought last year, redid it, and went camping once. We have a trip planned for the Fourth and just watching these videos makes me want to book more camping vacations!! Thank y’all for sharing!

Dude I love your enthusiasm！ I used to live in Navarre， and Navarre beach. Great places!

Nice channel guys. Just picked up a Coleman Taos for cheap and good shape. We are in the Jacksonville/ St.Augustine area. Many easy nearby destinations. Take care and thanks for the videos!

I just bought my first RV! it's definitely going to change my life traveling around and fishing. I totally agree with you on the trade money for experiences!

Bet it smelled wonderful in that camper after those “walking tacos”

The best investment I've ever made was in a camper, the memories and experiences are unexplainable. You just can't fully understand until you take your camper out with friends and family. There is no explaining that can do it justice!

Thanks for sharing. I'm looking.. and this was a good conviction as to why I need to pull the trigger on a pop up for me and my boys. Happy camping!

Only in Florida are people talking about an overnight low of 80 not being too hot while dressed like it is in the 40s! Y’all have me a laugh! Nice pop up.

Go Tigers! 1980 Clemson grad. That video captured your emotions/feelings, excellent.

It’s an awesome time doing what you guys are doing. The people that go and get these high-end resorts just do not connect as well really.

Hello..and thanks for your videos. They have given me the idea of what I need to relax and how to achieve it on a budget. Your lenses allowed me to see a world I knew nothing about and for that I thank you. I bought me a 2007 Dutchman Pop up camper for $350 and now remodeling it!

You guy inspired me to get a pop up camper, I can watch this vlogs over n over n wouldn't get tired of it... I love outdoors!

My best family purchase was our boat. The whole family loves it. If I want to go fishing with the guys in it I have to sneak out before the family wakes up.

Thanks for watching everyone! Here is a video about the things we learned the "hard wa"y about POPUP CAMPING- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZPZx639BnTQ.html Check it out!

Well !!! Tomorrow we pick up our pop up. We’ve done the big heavy travel trailer. Now it’s time to try this. Wish us luck!

I'm wanting to purchase a pop up camper and your video has encouraged me. I love how you tried to capture the feel of the experience. Exactly what I want for my family. Ty for video.

Hi, I really love your popup, I have a 13 year old daughter and we have been tent camping for 13 year with my husband and now husband LOL. Ready for a popup will be getting one next summer. Will continue to watch you, keep enjoying life.

Really Enjoyed the freshness and "as we are" aspect. Go get Life!

70 years old and have did much camping in our days and over the past 6 years have ventured to Newfoundland to Alaskas and the the great west in our converted 2014 Tradesman Van with great success but thinking about being a bit more stationary and considering a pop up for the future. Thanks for the look at your great family time.

Hey you guys have been an inspiration when it comes to pop up camping and renovations. We got a lot of ideas for your channel and applied it to our old but new to us Starcraft pop up. Maiden voyage is next weekend and we are super excited. 9 day trip here we come.

Had some great times in and around Navarre while assigned to Hurlburt Field. This video brings back some memories. Thank you and cheers.

Darn it, Yak, now I want one! I borrowed my neighbor's old Palomino popup camper back in 1998. Had to get a hitch installed on my 1991 Olds Ciera to pull it, and it did a good job of pulling the camper without any big mishaps. I had two small sons at the time and we pulled it to the Badlands of South Dakota the first day. It was really hot there, but it was an adventure. Will never forget the thrill of camping where there were rattlesnakes to look out for. It all added to the memories we came home with.

I love you and Sam's videos. You really do a great job of pointing out the great things in life and have a become an inspiration for my wife and I to just sit back and enjoy the same things. Thank you, it has really meant a lot to us.

The camping vibe is everything!!! You are creating such good family memories!!! Love this video....🤗😁☀️🏕🚣

Best video ever! Wife and I are looking for one for next year up here in Nova Scotia! Pro tip: make sure you double check the canvas where the bed meets it at the end of the camper where the hitch is. As a child I fell out of the bed and missed the hitch by inches!

We had a beat up pop up trailer...upgraded too a new pop up with air conditioning. When we retired we bought a travel trailer, then a larger travel trailer. We have been on many expensive vacations and cruises, but camping beats them all. Freedom & the pup can come along!

I’m a desert dweller. Our available water is a couple hours away. But my wife and I just retired. We’re both disabled but we also both just got kayaks. A pop up might be what we need!

Glad your area is no longer in lock down. Here in California we're still locked down, somethings are opening up, but most are still closed including state and national campgrounds. We bought a class C motorhome and we still have not used it.

I just put a deposit on my first camper and I'm so excited! I've put off camping alone for so many years, and I'm finally doing it. Driving 825 miles to Mississippi from Texas to go get it and even had to buy a new car to tow it! I'm hoping to use it while squirrel hunting too!

How am I just now finding this channel?? My husband and I have 2 RVs waiting for the day our youngest gdaughter graduates and then we r hitting the road full time. My husband has already been using the smallest one and a van he outfitted to travel nurse!! What a wonderful channel! You reminded me of some dreams I had put up on a shelf...time to dust them off, and make memories happen!!

sweet channel i got a pup a couple months ago and have been following you guy since great stuff thanks!

Wow!! Saw this video while we were in the throws of deciding to buy a camper similar to yours (but only one pull out bed, it’s only me and my hubby). This was just what I needed to get me out of my comfort zone. Seeing and hearing your enthusiasm for camping has given me the confidence and confirmation I needed to just do it! You’re spot on about money verses experiences, and the walking tacos were great fun too. Life is meant for living, and you are an excellent example of that. Cheers from Australia.

I come from a family that has ‘gone camping’ for generations. From tarps to tents to popups to RVs. When sitting around the campfire, someone always asks “I wonder what the poor folks are doing?” Camping makes you richer.

Can't get enough of this video, just can't wait til I get one, want to live that pop up lifestyle.

We bought an RV lot on Lake Weiss in Alabama four years ago. Great investment and vacation every weekend. I know where you are coming from.

And we did it in a pop-up. Later on later on 22 foot shasta. All the way from early 70s, mid-eighties. Got pictures 2.

I have learned alot with my pop up it's a Coleman Bayport got it about a year ago in a auto Auction in Atlanta I am not going to reveal price because it will make people sick it was in incredible shape outside and even better inside it was bumped in the rear and bent crank handle it was loaded with everything inside love yalls camping content

Reminds me of days my 4 sons were younger and we went everywhere in a Starcraft 12 foot pop up camper about 20 years ago. We actually hauled it to Florida keys one summer and stayed at Bahia Honda state park. You got to take your camp there sometime worth the ride

I've been shopping around for awhile now and stalling on purchase but I think you helped with my decision. Thanks for sharing. Happy camping !

Dude...i love the energy you and your family sbow...yall seem like you'd be a blast to hang with!

New sub! We just bought our 2008 Fleetwood Cheyenne and ofcorse my wife is in the processes of changing all the decor. Hope to get it out ASAP, just waiting for the parks to reopen. Hope you folks are staying safe there and can't wait for the next vid!

Thanks for something very positive in this time of turmoil.

We just got our first popup camper. Love your videos so helpful. Your family is adorable.

I bought a pop up and 2 kayaks because of this channel! Love it!

Great video, great time!!!! We pull the trailer and I have the yak on top of the truck! Wanting to make it up and over your way soon.. Enjoy that camper and life!!! That is what we have always done!!! Thanks for sharing w us!!! W

Thank you for sharing, we are in the research stage of buying a PoP. Up and I’ve learned a lot and enjoyed lots of information you shared

A place to sleep and prepare meals is all I really need

Another great video that reminded me to be positive. You guys ' positivity is infectious and motivating. Keep up the great content.

We always have Walking Tacos our first night. Easy meal that I can prep before we leave home and have ready when the kiddos start staying their hungry. Another great video, thanks for sharing! -Mrs.Hunter

Best memories in my first pop up, also called stinky camper, moved on to new ones, love the memories.

Looks like you’re having fun. Proved you don’t have to spend a lot of money to enjoy life. Take your girl and seal the deal.

Awesome...I grew up w a camper like that and traveled throughout the US and Canada!! Great video..I felt the vibe Jack!!!

Thanks for the video, I have been planing on buying a popup camper forever.....now I will start looking for one.

Wow the walking burrito that is awesome thanks for sharing best wishes

Great video capturing the popup camper life...It's now on my list of things to get in addition to moving to Florida at some point in my life! Thanks for capturing the camping life so well! Oh and I forgot to mention...Samantha did an outstanding job on the interior...It really makes it feel like a place you want to be in. Great design!

We have a 32ft camper that we have to leave at the lake because its a pain in the ass to haul. I finally convinced my hubby to buy a pop up this year and wow its been amazing just going where we want. Debating on selling the big camper now!

LOVE LOVE all your videos!! Thank you to you both HAPPY CAMPERS ❤️

Great video. We started out tent camping, then bought a pop up. Then upgraded to a small travel trailer. Your right, camping is awesome. Were trying to go to our local lake next weekend. Kayaks and all. Best wishes to you and Sam in yalls future together!!!

I’d have to say looks Like a lot of fun. My suggestion is tell your friends to bring their own camper or tent. Unless we r sharing everything inside that camper, get your own place.

While initially aghast about walking tacos because those were a favorite during my stint in county jail, with those toppings they look really really good

Is that The Hideaway Retreat in Navarre? That place is incredible! We just bought our first pop up today. Stoked!

We just bought this exact model '06 Jayco model 1007. Good to see your updates!

Party On Yak !🤘. We are definitely blessed to live,and enjoy all the Gulf Coast has to offer !

The more I think about it the better walking tacos sound. Thanks! Like so many I started with a pop up too. 4 decades and three RV's later I love spending so much money to live like I'm homeless!

"Looks like motor oil, taste like amazing!" What a food review!!! LOL!

Love our popup (2001 Coleman Cheyenne)!! We are headed to Tomoka State Park next month for some weekend getaway!!!

Haha we do walking tacos everytime we go camping. You passed right by our favorite spot at begginingbof video. Santa rosa rv park, we will actually be there in 3 weeks

It's not how much money your spend, it's how much fun you have!

You guys are great. Miss our camping days in our 40' Monaco motor home. Yeah, maybe over kill but we were on the road for 4 years and saw so much, from coast to coast, border to border. Miss it a lot. Have a great time guys. So jealous ...
