Arizona's the best
this was very useful. I can’t physically deal with for mattresses so you really helped me out giving me that information straight away..
mail forwarding is so under looked. 3 year full timer here!
Nice! Yes, definitely something full-timers have to figure out
North dakota
Yup!
I have a question. I asked chat GPT and it actually directed me to your Channel. Do you ever see any Schoolies AKA bus conversions at any of the Thousand Trail campgrounds or any campgrounds? My wife and I are considering this way of life after years of talking. Her dream is to have a school bus that we convert. Do you see these anywhere or do you know if they are banned in most Parks? I appreciate your time.
I have seen schoolies at Thousand Trails parks. Most TT do not have rules about age/type of RV. The trails collection (Encore) parks may have stricter rules, but I think you would still be fine at the majority of those. Fill out this form with your questions and member specialists Sharon and Warren Lewis can give you more detailed answers: www.jotform.com/241246745760055

Connecting a black water flush hose to a splitter and no back flow preventer is a great way to contaminate the campground's water supply and is highly illegal in Michigan. Do not do this as it is horrible advice. One potable water supply hose per hose bib only.
The black tank flush on the RV has a backflow preventer
yeah so it is as simple...... u hooked up three connections
Good information 👍
Glad you found it helpful!

We r remodeling our rv a bit replacing the sound system tv and other stuff
We just live in it full time
Nice!

You are suppose to flip your mattress so it doesn't get the pit in the middle . Flip every time you change the sheets.
If you are heavy set you will SINK into the mattress due to body heat and weight and you will wake up in pain just like an old sagging mattress. .
@@creditrepairwizards hasn’t been a problem for us and my husband is very tall
Sorry if you've answered this before or if this sounds like a dumb question but this is the first time I've seen a video from your channel and wanted to ask is this new mattress (Months) now.. is it a soft or more firm style? Yes I know it's foam but just curious 😀 Thanks 😊
@@loyallady434 Firm. Company rates it 8 out of 10 on a firmness scale
@@TravelswithTedRV Niiice!! Looks great, may even be something to consider for a daybed as well due to the "bend/fold" that tends to occur from switching it into couch position! Thanks so much!
More places to check
Very helpful. Thank you for sharing!
Oh yea you make sense 👍
I don't have the travel bug, but I have been wanting to buy a RV for some time now. With how housing has become so expensive. I rather spend what you would pay for rent for a year on decent RV. At the end of that year you still have a place to live, and it's paid for. I would love to buy a small plot of land as long as I had water and sewer hookups I would solar power my RV.
Lots of people living stationary in RVs. How much it will save you depends on the area you live in. Look at local regulations carefully thought, it is hard to find land where it is legal to live full-time in an RV without building a house on the property
I shouldnt have to say this but please dont plug a 50 amp into a 30
Hecka yeah, littering is for jerks 😃
Travels-greetings-you created super trip. take it easy. ;)
Run bald tires and it’s not a problem
Street tires on the pickup, off-road tires on the trailer?
Or fly into someone else's windshield
This is why women should not have equal rights.
Haha yeah im gonna do this
What do you think tires are made for
IF YOU HAVE AN IQ SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN A NUMBER 2 PENCIL, YOU DON'T NEED THIS.
Yeah right.
TOO MUCH!!!!

Good 👌
Good work 🎉
Good advice! And be sure and use tank treatment and the proper toilet paper.
Definitely!
How do you find dump sites? Where do you find fresh water site?
We find dump stations and water fills using the AllStays app. We usually move between boondocking spots and campgrounds, so we can usually fill and dump at the campground before heading to a dry camping spot.
I was hoping for more specifics on what you budget for all the categories. Thank you for what you did share. - Michelle
@@airstreamer if you ask a specific question, I might answer it
@@TravelswithTedRV Hey Christina, thanks for the reply.... I clicked into and watched your video because of the title "The ACTUAL Cost of Full Time RV Living (What Does RV life Cost in 2024)" The hope was to see the answer to that question you posed in your title of the video. We are genuinely interested to know what this is costing other RV full time peers in 2024. Would you be willing to answer what your actual cost of full time living was for 2024? -Michelle
@@airstreamer Hi! The point is that it varies for every family. This video was designed to help future full-timers create their own budget. This is as much as I feel I need to share to help new full-time families!
I agree that the title is misleading. These aren't ACTUAL costs. These are line items.
Fr
Can't justify spending that much money especially when COE campground cost us about 11 buck a night
@@missouritravelers definitely depends how often you would use it
Guilty as charged on number 2! Bought a few things that didnt work out and or found out that i didnt need them. Bought within couple weeks of maiden voyage to have time to return to Amazon for this very reason. Thanks
@@andyespenan5919 It’s hard not to do!
It doesn't cost me 300 a month I pay 650 a year
That is for a camping pass, I assume. The $300 financing would be for an upgraded membership!
@TravelswithTedRV Nope I got a Elite membership back in 2010 for 3500 my dues are 650 a year 21 days park to park 120 days booking
From what I keep reading and hearing is that TT is more for the weekend campers and not for full time campers. I considered getting a membership but if I can only stay for 14 and then have to go to motel or another campground outside TT then it’s not worth it to me. I keep seeing adds about month long reservations but everything I heard is for 14 days at a time. So where is the monthly reservations at. Sounds fishy to me.
If you watch the video, or read our article (www.travelswithted.com/thousand-trails-membership-levels/) I explain all the different membership levels. The upgraded memberships are definitely great for full-timers. We use ours about half the time, and I know plenty of full-timers who stay at TT exclusively.
My wife and I are in our 60's and 70's. We just sold our RV yesterday. The reason: It's too much work and money to haul one of these things. We just got back from a 4,000 mile round trip from the Midwest to the Pacific Northwest. This trip finished us off for ever owning one again. First, the gas mileage. It cost us over $1600 for fuel. Then add in the campgrounds. Yes, we did stay at some where they were just $10 per night, but others were as much $70 per night. Add in the work involved: Backing in the campsite, leveling, putting down the stabilizers, connecting water and electric, dumping your tanks, pulling in the slide, etc. Every time we would stop for fuel, I would have to navigate the gas station to make sure I could pull in and out without hitting an obstacle. Plus, you can't make distance pulling one of these things. We would keep the speed limit at 60-65 and cars would be flying past us. Our kids flew out to meet us in the Pacific Northwest and stayed in a VRBO 4 miles from our campground. It was a beautiful house, all the amenities a person needed. No stress involved. We on the other hand, camped down the road from them with no electric, no WIFI and I had to haul water to fill our water tanks. Yep, this last trip finished us off ever owning one of these again. Plus, add in the yearly insurance, registration and maintenance. I will say we did see some nice places with our RV and was glad we got to travel in it. From now on, it's driving and staying in hotels!
I'm sorry it wasn't for you! Hope you enjoy your future travels!
@garyp9906 where r you guys living now? Renting or Buying a home?
@SaRo-r8j we used our TT solely for a few local camping trips a year and maybe one long trip consisting of a couple weeks in duration. We own our home and live in the Midwest. Like I said in my previous post, owning an RV just to use a month out of the year is a costly mistake. Now, if you are living in one, yes. You will save money.
The supreme idiots will make it illegal real soon, they made being homeless illegal, and boondocking could be argued in court to be illegal. Its headed out, we did it 14 yrs with nothing but hassles and near miss violence, one person gets shot and the courts will ban it.
Thanks for sharing. I recently watched a full time rv couple who kept track of the years expenses and broke them down into categories. Their first year total was about $63,000. Sounds too expensive for me to consider.
Spending $63.000.00 sounds insane to me. I can only speak for myself, but as a Senior on Social Security there is no way I would spend anywhere near that amount. Obviously, there are many ways to RV, from ultra-luxury to modest vintage. My Toyota Mini Cruiser has four cylinders and is exellent on gas mileage, albeit big enough for myself and a small dog, and that's about it. But, for one person it is all I need. That said, for a variety of reasons I am not keen to give up my sticks and bricks in exchange for FT RV living. Short weekend trips to local places of natural beauty provides a change of scenery and a pleasant and inexpensive form of recreation. I am grateful to have a choice.
Really depends on the individual. Everyone has different experiences and some travel styles are more expensive. I created this calculator to help people figure their own RV life budget: www.travelswithted.com/rv-living-cost-calculator/
Chloe- if you see this…could you please tell me the name of the channel? I would really like to watch that video! Thanks!
