We love our Winnebago Travato and have no issues with it…. But sometimes changes in life mean you need to made a change in your RV… our grand kids are getting older and they can travel with is, but we would need a bigger RV to make this happen.
So w made a trip to the summer Tampa RV show to look around. This show is much smaller show than the super show in January but there was still a nice selection.
Hmmm… what should we do??

Throw a tent in your van with some sleeping bags and the kids can go with you. Walmart, less than $200. Love camping in the Adirondacks for almost 60 years.❤ love you guys.

@TeresaMormile 24 дня назад

We live just south of the Adirondacks! I actually was thinking tue same thing, throw a tent in the van! Maybe a different option if you had the grandkids full time, but too big an investment for just a once in a while!

@guntherflume7129 24 дня назад

My thoughts exactly including camping in the ADK’s as I watch

@kpeeples8175 24 дня назад

I heartily agree!!!the kids won’t travel with you very often.

@stevesullivanmathteacherno6812 24 дня назад

Do the teardrop and keep your van. The Travato 59K is great when it’s just the two of you and then when you want to take the grandkids you can pull the teardrop! Best of both worlds!

@Karen.cook424 24 дня назад

Yep I was coming on to suggest the same thing! Your van doesn’t have an attachable screen room option does it?

@danacasey8543 25 дней назад

I'd get a used tear drop! You don't need it for every trip, and Ellie is great for what you are doing now! Wait till you're 60 and then look at something bigger. Who knows, you might have 8 grandkids by then!

@stephaniem839 24 дня назад

I’m with Jason…. Definitely a Class A. I wouldn’t want the kids in a separate trailer out by themselves. That’s just me. They get sick, they need to go to the bathroom, you can’t trust crazies out there…..

@thecoxfamily9935 21 день назад

I agree. With the way things are today, having precious cargo, which are your grandkids, NEVER have them sleep in a separate compartment from you. Anything can happen. Submitted respectfully ❤

@carolpaquette2654 20 дней назад

They make tents that fit over the back hatch, the grandkids could sleep in that and still be part of the van

@maverickspirit208 24 дня назад

I know that these shows are super tempting, but financially speaking, stick with what you have and shop for a used teardrop.

@jennifertozier8267 День назад

I love the big swoopie colors on the RVs

@Suzanne1027 24 дня назад

From what you have voiced on your needs in the past, Ellie makes most sense to keep and if you bring the grandkids maybe the teardrop or a tent. The way you travel it seems like Ellie fits best. I personally loved our travel trailer and the space it provided. Then all we had to do is unhook the truck and exploring we’d go.

@Joywill86 25 дней назад

the travel trailer would be good for you I think teardrop to small. The grandkids wont want to sleep alone in there yet. Loved that Gemini you guys had before.

@pipandlou 17 дней назад

Put a roof top tent on top of your van.

@vsgtrek 33 минуты назад

Thanks for your candid convo about the realities of rv ownership.

@candacedolan4857 25 дней назад

Big is nice but not always better. Would you have to tow a small car as well? Sadly, I noticed you haven't mentioned Pepper as part of your future vacation travels.

@bevn362 24 дня назад

This is really informative and realistic explaining at the end of video on the situation with RVs (any type) now. Jason so funny at the end-the temptation is real.

@sandragilbert8180 25 дней назад

You nor I would leave small children to sleep by themselves in a teardrop? Therefore, it would need to be a unit that sleeps everyone! Otherwise, you could get a 2-4 man tent with blow up mattresses?

@koalabear6722 17 дней назад

Tent! or a good used lil teardrop. Keep it simple and affordable!

@michelleconcannon7584 24 дня назад

For me, I'd be skeptical of that enormous full wall slide on that Class A long term. The tear drops are so cute, would be fun with the grandkids. Seems like a good solution to something you only need sometimes.

@tinaburgess8466 22 дня назад

Teardrop is a great ideal.

@TXtwin76 20 дней назад

I love the Tab teardrops trailer😂

@pattyolson3842 24 дня назад

Check if there's a travel trailer that is light enough to work with your van. The grand kids aren't old enough to sleep alone. With tables that drop down and fold out couches, that could work fine for little kids. You could check out used ones. How much can your van pull?

@dannyscandies8561 24 дня назад

Get the pre owned tear drop camper with out door kitchen. Remember why you traded down to the van. Ability to park pretty much everywhere a car can.

@BillMattson 24 дня назад

I remember when you had a bigger camper..... Are you forgetting the difficulty with parking!!!! Elly with a small tow behind Gives you the best of both worlds. You have the flexabilty to just run elly when its just you two but your can hook up when you have the kiddos. The next best option would be a tow behind because you could park and then use the truck to explore, but that has drawbacks. IMO....

@Tom.and.Missy.Northam 24 дня назад

Great video, it’s always fun to look. That one massive “bumper pull” was a destination trailer, definitely not something you tow from campground to campground. Most have to be delivered. Congrats on the new grand baby

@donnag8448 21 день назад

I was coming on to say the same thing. It is a destination trailer not a pullable.

@user-hk8cg3tz3j 24 дня назад

Was fun shopping along with you and appreciate hearing the sobering reality of todays current oversaturated RV market with high interest. My childhood family camped frequently in the 60’s/70’s with a camper. My brother and I always slept in a tent and we so enjoyed it over sleeping in the camper with our folks.

@TWSmith42 24 дня назад

That was fun. Thank you. I think the little teardrop best meets your use case of occasionally needing the room for a couple of guests.

@lisah6159 23 дня назад

Thank you for your honesty. It was so great to listen to 2 level headed people decide the timing was not right. And there is a good option to look for a slightly used option at a better price! I love your videos, keep them coming. 🩷 Your MS neighbor!

@braddenton7673 24 дня назад

Go with REV group products ( Holiday Rambler, Fleetwood or American Coach) best value in Class A gas or diesel

@angelabrown3994 24 дня назад

Teardrop. Gives you the options with or without the kids

We had a sweet little RPod with wet bath, queen bed, dining table, frig/freezer, micro. It was used, but so affordable!

@davidgardner6451 22 дня назад

I’d go for the holiday rambler, seems like y’all really liked it.

@darrellvivianpeters6631 24 дня назад

Have you considered a tent for the kids...when we were Rving we brought a tent when we had our kids friends coming with us so we had room for everyone....viv

@kevinburke3718 24 дня назад

Have a great summer road trip ps love watching your videos ❤

@dawncore9863 23 дня назад

I have to agree with they young lady below. A used teardrop would be the more practical option. A teardrop would be my grandbabies dream camper!

@malshield7336 23 дня назад

Hi, the tear drop would be great especially when your in trouble Jason you've got somewhere to sleep and get away. 👍😂😂

@kimberlyyurtsever1824 24 дня назад

I think you should keep Ellie on your great adventures for now and enjoy visiting your grandkids when you can. We have six Grands and a set of identical twin girls on the way, didn't expect to have 8 but they sure are a blessing! 🙂

@brookeemmons2663 20 дней назад

@tammycarpenter3770 24 дня назад

@Lilone671 24 дня назад

We have a NuCamp T@G and love it. Thinking of getting a van to pull it.

@cindybridges3046 24 дня назад

Totally love these videos! Go with what’s right for now. Love the Winnebago and the Tear Drop both 🙂

@kellijomatthewsbeachbum 24 дня назад

A tear drop for the kids! They would love it!! It looked like some cool ones too!

@cassandrahitt8530 24 дня назад

Just remember if you purchase a drivable RV, you’re gonna be stuck where you stop at you won’t have a vehicle unless you’re pulling something to drive around town. I just finished watching the rest of the video that was a very good decision to hold off specially for the information you provided for resale.

@fedex1339 24 дня назад

Great video! If I was in the market for an RV I would go to Elkhart Indiana. You two will love it.

@tinaburgess8466 22 дня назад

There are a lot of neat tents you could purchase to accommodate your grandkids.

@danzuelch 25 дней назад

Small tow behind is the perfect answer! Rockwood Geo Pro

@susanburkettrn2042 24 дня назад

Wow . I’m so glad you shared the financials with us . I want one but hubby is not there yet, enjoy what you have 😅

@jenhere9592 20 дней назад

Class A for sure

@dawnturner8735 24 дня назад

I love having a bathroom in an rv. It’s such fun to look.

@jendeck9914 21 день назад

Thank you for your honesty. Every thing you said about trading in is correct. We went from a class c to trailer. You are so right about it all

@rainman7935 24 дня назад

I really appreciate your honesty about the financials of owning and then selling your van! It really helps us to see how to move forward ourselves. Your video was extremely helpful! Thank you!!

@StevenAdams-uo9jx 24 дня назад

Go on a Norwegian escape cruise. You and Jason will have fun

@micheleskeggs2173 24 дня назад

We RV'D for years everything from a tent to a lg. MH our perfect fit was a lg 5th wheel. with 3 slides. The 3 grads loved it..and the dogs.

@rebeccacraig6604 24 дня назад

The teardrops would be perfect for you guys and for the grandkids

@tinaduncan72 24 дня назад

The tent idea sounds good for now. My family did camp sites for kids. When they got about 12yrs old they didn’t want to go anymore.

@stephielynn 21 день назад

We love our pop up lol😂 those trailers are a lot to worry about

@momplusfive 23 дня назад

FYI dont get gas pusher, it cant get into most gas stations because of height and diesel has more power.

@marie-claudegodbout1564 23 дня назад

I think a teardrop big enough to sleep you and the grandkids would be the ideal I feel. Just because I don't feel it's great that the kids would sleep alone, you never know what can happen and you have all the comodities in Ellie. It's just a matter of having somewhere to sleep for the kids so a teardrop would be great I think as long as it can sleep everyone

@beckymungo1333 25 дней назад

I like the swoops

@mimig6932 24 дня назад

You use to have a big camper. I’d look for a used teardrop and haggle…there must be one with the outdoor kitchen, that is so cute.

@michelleconcannon7584 24 дня назад

Also look at a A-liners to pull behind the van, along with tear drops.

@blessednettie69 24 дня назад

Keep what you have & get a nice gently used teardrop.

@jadelynmay 24 дня назад

Thank you for being so open about this process. There are pros and cons to each. If it was me, I would do a pull behind so I can park it and take my pickup where I need to go into town and such. However, there is something about having a real nice Class A.

@lisapatrick1276 22 дня назад

Look at the class C the kids love the over bunk and I feel they are safer and easier to bug out, its also like a truck and easy to drive that’s why they rent so many lol and when it’s raining outside you just put it in park no need to be out there setting stuff up immediately, we love the ability to just walk in the back👍🏻, just a thought. Make sure covers on the windows are on the inside never outside, you need to be able to pull away without going outside. 👍🏻

@user-xc6hi7kx5x 24 дня назад

Oh wow! The pressure!😂

@haidacable 25 дней назад

Extremely smart decision you guys made, check again next year it might change for the better rates.

@kendallpostema9587 24 дня назад

We like having a travel trailer because we can unhitch the camper leave it at the campground and we still have a vehicle to drive around and sight see in.

@marychristie6194 21 день назад

Class A all the way 🎉🚌⭐️🇺🇸

@joannelamar6389 24 дня назад

I vote for the teardrop. I liked the one with the kitchen in the back.

@ericaF79 13 дней назад

Class A and not because Jason said so, lol. I love the Class A, the size of it makes it soooo comfortable

@dianerosum4306 24 дня назад

@susanburkettrn2042 24 дня назад

Is this the child from CA?

@EnjoyRaboy 25 дней назад

Class A sounds amazing, but financially a small used, inexpensive, teardrop is the best idea. With a tear drop, at least you can keep it at your home base when your kids are not with you. Or maybe just wait, maybe it’s not the right time yet, you are still young. Being that we have a travel trailer with a truck, honestly, sometimes it gets tiring to tow something. Whatever decision you guys make, I doubt it would be a bad decision since you compliment each other so well lol!

@kalyha34 24 дня назад

I think y’all made the right decision. My husband and I are definitely in the same boat with being more cautious about financial decisions. Sometimes we gotta just chill and ride the waves for a bit! ❤

@movinngroovin2104 24 дня назад

We have the same Rockwood camper we love it. We have a breakfast bar in ours bathroom shower is huge. My daughter comes in and stays when we are in the keys for few days she sleeps on the couch. We were thinking of the van like yours but decided to buy another new home . Stick with your van so much easier.

@vjm1639 24 дня назад

I recommend a used teardrop or popup. Something small that the grands would love. They'll be thrilled to have their own space. Go USED! Pre 2020.....it will be better built than the later ones. You'll still have Ellie for your own travels but options for the grandkids. And.....if your kids families want to go....talk to them about getting their own or tents! Our kids enjoy camping with us occasionally, however, they don't camp often so, we bought our Compass (like the Gemini you had.) It's great.....it's big enough that 6 can sit in there and talk.....4 can eat comfortably, and 2 adults, and 2 littles (we only have one little grand) can sleep. Parents/grown kids bring their own tents! :) The majority of the time it's just the two of us. No sense have larger than needed for the rest of the time. Jason....that Class A is nice.........however, that Van will be so much easier to get into great spaces.

@nancyk2570 24 дня назад

Yep tents Where is your puppy?

@staceymelancon5448 24 дня назад

I am all for the Class A or travel trailer and truck. You can always drop the trailer off at the park, and explore in the truck! I think the kids wouldn’t like sleeping in a separate unit and it would be Jason sleeping out there by himself lol

@mistysissell9467 22 дня назад

Yah should get a bigger one your dog Pepper needs space to run around.🤠😎

@judypeeklueer5484 24 дня назад

Get a tent! Alisa and the girls can sleep in the van and Jason can sleep in the tent! It’s a win-win! Manly men love tents! 😀Really, I think you should give it some time. Hopefully the economy will get better, not worse! Love you guys!

@LisaRobison-yb1kw 24 дня назад

With the age of the kids right now you wouldn't want to have them in something separate from you. By the time the babies are old enough to go with you the girls will be teenagers so a tent/teardrop would work. I did see someone on You Tube who had the seats in their van facing each other and then put a small mattress there for child. Would have to take one girl at a time but that might be fun for quality time with each of them. 😊😊

A lot of people near us have those huge fifth wheel and tow behind campers but they’re only towing it once! To their seasonal campsite and it lives there!

My concern with the towable is having a couple of little girls essentially in a different vehicle from you. I hate to always have that fear but I wouldn’t let my little girls stay separate from grandparents like that. 😢
