RVDaydream Watcha Doin Mid Summer Consolations 

Replace the sidewalk between your back door and driveway too!

That's what I was thinking, the house has alot great things so enjoy what you have.

our Advance had a table full of vent visors for $10.00 .... they had some for a 2020 2500. cool for me

You two are wonderful ❤

We injoy everything you guy's talk about, thanks for home bace & RV update. The Power Watch Dog 🐕 is amazing product. Smart move stay at this location move the fence forward to the street lot's of room for RV trailer. Just keep in mind the entrance of the rv trailer will be on the fence side back in.

A tow truck in the preview has me very Curious. Can't wait for the next episode.

I'd get up at 3am riding around town working off Nam issues. I notice a lot of pack sag totting people walking in and out of neighborhoods until I had coffee with the Cops to let them know...often I later say them searching the sacks and never saw any more as said they could be delivering illegal drugs.

Well Heidi works and you live there , it's ok .

We like watching your videos. In one of the videos I seen a dishwasher in your sink. Do you guys like it? And where did you purchase it at if you don’t mind me asking? Thanks

I think you got a great deal!!

Mike & Heidi, I've caught up on the channel! After being so far behind on your videos, being surprised that you were no longer full-time RVing, I'm now watching a video from four days ago. Staying in motels...last time we had to do that, it was because our trailer was at the factory for a bunch of (complimentary) repairs. The next time we expect to do it, it will be for much more expensive repairs, at that same factory, for hail damage we hope insurance covers well. We always have a "go" bag, with clothes, toiletries, etc to last us a bit, but normally we don't *need* it. For these motel stays, we do. I keep laughing about the backpacks. IDK, but that sounds paranoid to me. I see people with backpacks, and it doesn't even occur to me to wonder what they're carrying. But I've also never got to the point where I knew what all the "normal" local vehicles were, and was worried about interlopers. We *have* found that with RV parks. Some, we feel right at home, get to know neighbors, etc. Others, it's just a place to stop temporarily, and we don't feel at all welcome, or even particularly comfortable. One, in SC, we went to the office and saw some signs. Some were about the deep discounts they offer to law enforcement, veterans, and active duty military (we're NOTA), as well as a sign saying something about how firearms are welcome, but please keep them holstered unless absolutely needed, at which point judicious aim was appreciated. We laughed out loud at that, and even though the discount didn't help us personally, it made us feel safer, more comfortable, knowing the cg was biased in favor of LEO and military. One close neighbor was a sheriff's deputy. I didn't worry *at all* about people from outside wandering around the campground looking for things to steal, which has been a worry at a few places. Another campground had a lot of "seasonal" campers, who knew each other and socialized a lot. Instead of being ostracized as short-timers, we were kind of welcomed in by them, made to feel part of the crowd. Mortgages...we have our budget figured out for our next (last?) settled place, with no need to borrow money. We have no debt now, and want to keep it that way. We'll get what we can from the trailer and truck, live debt-free, and be frugal. Owing money for depreciating assets is a fool's game, though we've done it. Owing for a home is less so, but still not ideal. It's bad enough that you have to pay property taxes, or have your home stolen from you. Ramen soup tastes especially good when you know it's helping you stay debt-free. Toll transponders...for quite a while, my job had me using a particular toll road to get from my home to the local airport and back. Finally, I got tired of stopping at the booths, and got a transponder, with a prepaid account and all. A few weeks later, I got a call from my boss saying that was my last day with that job, and my airport trips went to near zero. A few months after that, we moved to another house, and had essentially no need of that toll road.

You wanna live where everybody knows your name, and there so dang glad that you came. The only thing Columbus discovered, was some seriously rough roads, bucking bronko, lets go! Holy weenershnitzel, its a freaking warzone out there, who activated the Mocktar Stealth Haze? HAHA! Mike, lets make my Niece Heidi happy, install a wood shop dust extractor in the basement, that will solve the dust problem. And as long as you have a vent fan pulling air in and out, she should be able to paint in the basement too. I would have bought the lease car, but you do whats best for you. Struts dollar a piece? Well I'd buy that for a dollar! You made a great point, about how much you saved to not lease a new car. I think Mike is right, knowing his cooking skill, he'd accidentally create mustard gas, then he will pass out.

My camper is a 25 footer and it works for us. But , hard for me to make the bed, because it's at front by tongue and can't walk around bed to make.

Love your car! 3000 USD

Heidi…understand the long work hours as I spent 39yrs in big Box retail mgt…

Does your decision to keep house feel liberating?

Just be happy that after all these years you still have each other. The older we get the more I realize how much this matters. I think it was very smart to let the lease go and pick up a grandma car like you did. The mileage is very low and the repairs and such will provide some more content for RU-vid. As for saving all that money under the mattress I am thinking the itch to get back out in a camper of some sort might alter that plan a bit. You guys love the camping and the traveling aspect and you are not tied down at this point in your life except for Heidi's current job situation. I see a new to you RV of some sort in your future by this time next summer at the latest.

I think that you are making all the right decisions in this current economy! It is so difficult, we grapple with some of these same decisions!

Hi Mike and Heidi…… He’s driving me nuts. LMAO

Didn't you buy your old house from Heidi's grandparents or their estate? Weren't you doing RU-vid and working on small engines in your garage? I seem to remember you all owning a couple of old campers early on. You worked hard fixing them up and selling at a proffit? You weren't driving late model cars at that time either? When you bought the new travel trailer and 1st new truck, I thought Heidi took some of her retirement money and proceeds from your old house to pay them off? You guys didn't have big monthly payments, like a HUGE mortgage or car payments like a lot of folks have now. You guys have done well for yourselves! Heidi works her butt off. Be happy, and just calm down for a little while. Your house now is totally liveable with more room than you had at your old house. Wait to see what happens with interest rates next year.

Daaaamn! Where’s towmater taking that whip?!

Nice station wagon guys.

its very hard to pull the trigger on buying a house or car with these high interest rates.

I'm just wondering? Michael where did you retire from. Kudos to Heidi.

0% financing is out there. Right now the Nissan Rogue and the Ford Edge as well as a bunch of EVs have 0% financing.

I’m guessing that buying a new pick up truck and fifth wheel comparable to what you had a few years ago probably costs 10 to 20 thousand more.
