    Seriously I can’t believe I’m getting choked up over an RV. And it’s not even my RV. 😭

    I'm sure you already know that anyone who has ever posted negative comments is due to their own insecurities and jealousy. You two keep enjoying this beautiful life you've worked so hard for and we'll keep supporting you along the way🔆

    I wish I had the means to get that trailer! I, we, all know how well it's maintained and upgraded!!! The suspension alone! I've been playing the lottery since I've heard of the 410R.

    @Berrypancakes229 2 года назад +1

    It’s nice to upgrade when your able to. You guys are blessed. You guys earned it. Me and my husband like to go camping on off road camping. We hope to buy a true off-road trailer around 19 feet long, that will cost like $100,000 . This is my desire. It’s a perfect size for me and hubby. We do a lot of boon-docking. This is what would meet our need for camping.

    Im telling you guys, you have a gem there. I can't believe you're getting rid of that beautiful camper. If I remember correctly you did the most amazing job on your solar panels. There's no way a manufacturer is going to compare to what you have now. You also put in a suspension system on that camper that second to none. Good luck with your new camper I wish you the best happy trails

    I thank you for taking us down memory lane with the old rig. You have taken us to some great places, and showed some great upgrades . One door closes, another door opens.
    Will be looking forward to seeing the new rig and watching you "make" it yours. And the sooner you get it, the sooner we can all get packed up for the new adventures. Looking forward to that.
    God bless ya'll and hope Tara's health stays good. Had an aunt with Lyme, not pleasant for sure.
    Stay safe and enjoy the journey.

    Your RV is your home. Selling it is very emotional. From watching the video it was easy to tell that you bought it at Lazydays in Tampa. We bought ours there too. We have a 2006 42' Monaco Dynasty Class A diesel pusher. One thing my wife likes on travel days is if she wants to stay in her pajamas all day she can. We have full access to everything with the slides in. My wife is handicapped. She finds traveling in the motorhome very comfortable. Especially with 10 air bags. The ride is very comfortable. Plus she can go to the bathroom while I am driving. No more getting off at every other exit for her to use the bathroom. As for my most scariest moment. That would be on our maiden voyage. We went to Virginia Beach for a conference. After that we drove out Rt 64 to the Blue Ridge mountains and turned south on I-81. This was the first of December. We were driving in the mountains after dark and it was raining. It was pitch black out and cars were flying past us. I was definitely terrified that night. I learned what the engine brake was for that night and we became good friends. Lol!!! 😂 There is a whole story that goes with that day, but I'll leave it for another time. Lol!!! 😂 I hope you love your new rig even more than the old one. 🙂

    Congratulations on the new RV. By designing it, you have your ultimate dream.
    Listening to this i realize we are doing this all wrong... you said"over 45K miles" in 5 years with a198 stops. We did that distance in under two years. I'm going to definitely have to show things down!!
    Safe travels.

    We have a 2021 376THS and have been fulltime for a year. We both work. I took out one couch for wife and made butcher block desk stained to match for wife and took out kitchen table for me and made same butcher block desk for me. We haven't given up any living space due to large garage and it's been great. I agree with small bathroom. We have queen bed and it's been fine. Good luck on the new rig!

      Fire safety. In your kitchen, bathroom and where you grill. Fiberglass fire blanket or an open box of baking soda. Baking soda is same principle as proteng but you have to toss it yourself.

      New Mexico is not pretty everywhere! You could stay in Ruidoso, NM, it’s a couple hours from Carlsbad, and about a hour from the White Sands. Staying in Ruidoso, you avoid the flat and the heat. Nice little mountain town. Cloudcroft, NM, also a cute mountain town to visit in the same area!

    If you're no more than 40 ft, Golden Acres Ranch in Monticello, FL was our first Harvest Host experience and what a fabulous place. We had our own gated enclosure, good for our little dog, but the best part was the serenity of the farm, and being able to walk around and admire the animals they have there. Spectacular place.

We went to creede Colorado we never would have none how awesome that place was we got done there and came back and bought a toy to put in our toy hauler so now we can go anywhere thank you so much. Congratulations on moving on to the new adventure and we'll keep watching!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

    Based on the map You guys have never been to Oregon or Washington!?You have to go! It’s beautiful out there. My wife and I just started full timing in our grand design solitude 345GK in SEP22 and absolutely love it. We have been following you and watching your videos for a couple years now. You guys definitely made this journey for us a little easier. I did research for about two years before we did this and your channel was one of the number one channels we watched, so thank you! I also hate our norcold fridge… front control panel broke week one and was stuck on propane for 4 weeks… I will say looking back if I could choose another rv I wish we would have gotten a toy hauler. Other than that we love it! If you guys want any good spots to check out in Oregon let me know we lived there for a few years and did huge overland trips with our Jeep and went all over the state.

    I had a TT that was destroyed by a tornado. A blessing in disguise because that’s why I bought the fifth wheel I have now. But now any storm scares the daylight out of me. If I had been in the bed at the time I would not be here to talk about it. A big tree went right thru the front thru the bed and thru the bottom of camper.

    Looking at your travels... you've missed upper michigan. I highly encourage Mackinaw city and Mackinac Island, and even more so picture rocks and Tahquamenon Falls in the MI UP. Early fall can be the most beautiful time up there and avoiding the crowds. The island, one day trip can be awesome, but we've also considered getting a room on the island for at least one night. We're traveling west for the first time, and had a great time at several harvest host sites, including one that had the most awesome beer AND root beer. That stop had to be our favorite on this trip, as we had a great time with locals and other harvest host people.

We just picked up our new 376THS-R a couple of weeks ago and love it! I, as well, had to grab a tissue when your 397 was rolling out of the driveway for the last time. Good luck with your new 410!

    For those that have trouble with command strips, alcohol is your friend, it cleans down to the substrate. Just a little bitty bit of contamination will cause the command strips to fail. Please don't ask how I know this. I've wondered about having at least one maybe more CO2 fire extinguishers on board. I know they're not rated for Class A fires because they may leave embers behind which may reignite but the dry chemical one's sure do make a mess and CO2 extinguishers can be used to control a run away diesel. Not that this is a common problem but it's one of the only ways to stop one. Keep the good stuff coming guys and enjoy your new rig.

    Watching your escapades caused us to by a real small, by comparison, travel trailer. We just winterized and cover it for the winter in Northern Illinois. We so look forward to following your next evolution!

    We are so excited for you being able to design your dream Rv and moving on to a new home and better style of living. You will fall in love with the new one and make it your brew home. Looking forward to the future travel adventures coming. ❤

    Arguably among your finest videos (and there are so many). A heartfelt and sincere fitting salute to your RV that has been your home for so much. I'm confident you'll not forget it soon. Out with the old, in with the new! Looking forward to see you take delivery of the new 410 and all the adventure and project videos that will come from it. But, be careful - it may make you forget your cabin! Hahaha. Thanks guys.

    Great video. I'm sure the new rig will help make just as many new fun memories. I think I might have passed you on I-40 EB Tuesday. Maybe taking her to Richmond. Not sure but maybe. Wishing y'all safe travels and awesome adventures.
