Smart young lady. Enjoyed your video. My wife and I sold everything and travelled full time in a 36 foot motorhome for nine years then the last 12 years traveling 1/2 time +/- . “May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. May God hold you in the palm of His hand.”

@TailsofWanderlust 3 года назад

Amazing that you guys have travelled for that long Philip. You must have some amazing stories to tell. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for your Airstream Base Camp story. We're ( my wife is) trying to teach her new cat the ins & outs of a harness so we can take the cat in our truck and 27' / 2007 Trailite Travel trailer. Up to the RV park where we store and use our trailer. Not sure if we will take it out on the road part time or full time , we're still deciding. The rona put a big roadblock in our plans. But we do love the Airstream! And we want to go look at a Base Camp! I'm 5 ' 11" , can I get a good shower in a Base Camp? Thank you! We're looking forward to your next Q n A.. . ......hopefully us & our dog & cat can say Hi! On the road!

@jamesvelvet3612 3 года назад

Did the full-time thing for a couple of years in a class A. Was great for awhile, did a lot of traveling but missed the home base. Living day to day in an RV can get a bit much believe it or not. Having a nice home base in an area you enjoy AND the RV to vacation/travel/explore in is honestly the best of both worlds if you can swing it.

@TailsofWanderlust 3 года назад

Really great to hear your perspective James. I may be coming up on that change as well so great to hear you are enjoying the balance.

@subjecttochrist 3 года назад

i lived in my van for 5 months (by choice) and it was one of the most spiritually nurturing times in my life... it really simplified things. Work, eat, climbing gym, find a spot to park and sleep, repeat. I remember one of my favorite quirky memories of van life, was when i met up w/a bunch of friends for a camp trip. at the end of the camping weekend, i asked a friend what her plans were after the trip. she mentioned she was just going to go home and relax. She asked me what my plans were, and i realized, i didn't have a 'home' to go back to... lol my home was wherever i parked the van. there was something kind of 'freeing' about that moment, while at the same time, i felt the desire to be 'home.' The Lord was doing a work in my heart, to lead me to Jesus Christ!

@TailsofWanderlust 3 года назад

The best to me is the Travato 59k because it’s not a big RV at all only like 20 feet long, but yet the layout is beautiful and you can park it anywhere. When you were pulling some thing you can’t go into any spot that you want. Plus the 59K has a battery system that you can run your air conditioner for eight hours on battery and leave your dog inside

I'm so glad I found you! I purchased a Winnebago Class C 3 months ago to live in full time. I'm disabled and spend days on end in bed in pain, so about 6 months ago I decided that if I'm going to be in bed unable to go anywhere, why not move my bed? On the days when I can drive, I will (post Covid of course), and on the days when I can't, at least the view outside my bedroom window changes😊 So I sold my condo, packed up my cat, and we are on the road, (well, mostly my mother's driveway until Covid let's me visit friends and family outside of my bubble🙄) I think I've already decided to sell my Class C and swap it for either a Class B or a small trailer; the Class C is only 25 feet, but it still feels too big. Anyway, I look forward to following your journey and learning lots! Thank you so much💗

Just saw this I did the RV life for 7 years, I miss it. Oh it loo s like from your photo you need a weight distribution hitch. Front end appears to be way to high for such a light trailer. safe travels.

@TailsofWanderlust 3 года назад

Amazing that you did it for 7 years. And yes, this photo was prior to installing a new suspension + air bags, so that sag is no longer there. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for sharing ! What wonderful adventures you must have! Do you ever have trouble managing with Jasper and your Kitty while boondocking ? I know during road trips in my car I have worried about keeping them cool if I have to leave the car. Do you run your AC on a generator or are you just in temperate climates ?

@gabgirl1209 3 года назад

Yay! Absolutely loved this. Thank you for sharing. I am considering a 4Runner vs Sequoia and Basecamp vs T@b 320 when I am ready. Keep them coming. 😍

@TailsofWanderlust 3 года назад

Those are all very good options. Good luck on the search!

Very nice job. From a former TV writer-producer, your narration and presentation is very professional. Okay, pleasantries aside: I have a few questions regarding your solar package. You have two panels on the roof and added the additional ground panels. What wattage do all panels now pull? Do you find the upgraded items excessive, just right or just making it, for your power needs? Based on many of your narratives, I assume your father helped you with the install of upgrades... Did you find it intimidating? Moving on, I really want to know more about the weBoost (sp) system. It's something I want, but know little about. And the apps you mentioned in your travels for a new refrigerator. More attention to the different apps available would be helpful. Maybe it's own video.... And finally, I enjoyed the cooking segment. Making fried rice and mixing it up does make for a weeks worth of great meals. But I kept waiting for you to remove that dogie bag from the smoke detector... Otherwise, good concept and worth more production time.

@TailsofWanderlust 3 года назад

Thank you very much for that! The deployable are 160W and rooftop are 180W for a total of 340W. For living full time and working full time, I find it just what I need. However, if I didn't have one or the other (not having to run a laptop all day or not living full-time) it may be more than I really need. My father helped me with the 12V install, and it was intimidating until he showed me as I didn't have much experience in electrical. When it came to the full lithium upgrade I did hire someone for that. As for the ideas for future videos, I've added a bunch to my list thank you for the ideas! I do have an internet video out right now which does go over the WeBoost a bit more. Thanks for watching!

Best thing is stay away from old rvs/vans,,, engines get old... buy a Truck, or jeep or suv new and then a camper,,, just like you did,,,

@TailsofWanderlust 3 года назад

The ease of use of a new RV is a really great benefit of it.

@Rvnmoon111 3 года назад

Yeah, buy new one good idea but some of us cant afford a newer one. Guess that is why so many people living in tents now (homeless)- Its different if u just RV for fun VS because u cant afford rent.

I was wondering the same thing, I am thinking of buying a vintage C class and renovating it but if it breaks down there goes your home. Lots of things to think about.

A tale of caution, be careful when towing a single axle trailer as a flat tire at speeds over 30mph can have dire consequences. This applies to all single axle trailers.

@TailsofWanderlust 3 года назад

Great reminder to be careful with it!

Yes loved the Q and A! Especially learning how you got started full time vs Air B&Bing. Really Cool!! I would love to see a video on the best way/s to buy one if you are not financially able to buy it outright. That would be a cool video or question to add to your next Q &A if you knew the answer.

Don't see why you have a boy friend.i traveled alot on camping and seeing and meeting new people for off on on 5 yrs.work awhile save money then take off and having a girl friend was not a option to worry about.had friends to travel with that were female,but no emotion commitment.this was 70s 80 s.lot different then,but enjoy your life while young it passes fast,be careful this world is really dangerous now.no way I do the things now I did then in my van.
