We timed ourselves once. Even in our decrepit old age with mobility issues, it takes us no longer than 15-20 min to pack and hit the road. That's while taking our time. We pack the exterior stuff the night before (dump tanks, stow the stinky slinky, pull in the awning, pack any camp chairs and tables, etc.). While he's doing that I'm packing what I can in the interior. In the morning all I have to do is last minute stuff like any vent fans and settle the pets while he pulls the water and power. That can be done in 10 minutes.
We travel in a Winnebago Navion 25 ft and love it. I have taken several girlfriend trips and left the husbands at home. It is so easy to drive and it fits anywhere. We have had a 5th wheel, an A class and a couple of travel trailers and the Navion is definitely my favorite. I love following your family’s adventures!!
I am the same way about a shower before bed. Nothing like feeling clean and crawling into bed. I also shower in the mornings so it’s 2 showers a day for me. We have been full time for over 4 years and my routine has stayed the same.
hey whole families sometimes including elders use to live in a single tipi, or single room cabin, this privacy thing is kinda new, it's just like other new things once you have it you don't want to give it up LOL
@@LessJunkMoreJourney I believe privacy in a family starts with training the children about boundaries. My children knew if the door was closed to the bedroom they were not to enter until given permission. Respect is taught from an early age.
When I first started my acting career in Hollywood, I lived in a class c. I'd drive to the film location or studio the night before. The first show I worked was the TV-pilot "Girlfriends" over at Paramount Pictures.. Yes, I have to shower going to bed. I also like to shower when I wake up.
Have you heard from your friends and family in east Tenn.? The mountains in Tenn. and North Carolina have been devastated, I assume you have seen the pictures and videos from the area. It is going to take months to get the power back on, and years to fix the roads and bridges. They need our prayers.
@@LessJunkMoreJourney The minute I saw the devastation, I thought of you. I remember the tornado that ripped through your hometown, it was really bad too. I live in Eastern North Carolina where hurricanes are a common thing, but it's not easy. To see our mountains like I've seen our coast is heart wrenching. I know you've been to the Outer Banks, take a look at the homes that have fallen into the ocean just this year. Unreal! Take care, and thanks for listening.
Thanks for a great update. We are looking at downsizing from our Solitude to the Lineage but also have a Jeep! I'm concerned about not being able to tow it. I liked hearing your perspective.
Well I once had a small camper pulled behind a pickup, We stayed the weekend at a nice park that lots of stuff going on. We went back home on Sunday afternoons. So it was not as much fun as you guys have but we enjoyed it. You are the only campers I watch. But you are very nice. I enjoy seeing your trips.
I’m a night time shower person. I can’t understand people taking a shower in the morning. You take all the dust and sweat into the bed. We love our 25’ motorhome. We travel the same way you do. We towed before and realized it’s much more time consuming and not to forget the fuel ⛽️ you save driving this way.
I quit towing a Travel trailer and fifth wheel because, no matter where you go, you're driving a truck with bad mileage. We now have a DP and tow a very fuel efficient vehicle. If we take the car trailer, I can take an EV.
Everyone sort of figures out what works for them I think and there's a lot of trial and error in the process. I have a 26 foot class C, and my 'toad' is a 150cc type scooter I hitch up on the back. Great for taking off and running around local areas. I've camped on BLM land just outside national/state parks and rode that scooter around the national park to explore. I also frequently stay in cities, urban camping as they say, and this configuration works well for that. But then I'm just one person.
WOW, I remember when your first child was only an infant - time flies!!! I wound up skipping the RV thing (glad I did) in favor of an off grid Cabin in northern New Hampshire on 7 acres. God Bless:)
@@LessJunkMoreJourney LOL...off grid in the sense its on a dirt road surrounded by forest (White Mountain region). There is electric and a well so a heated shower is in the cards:) Doing a solar backup system here like I learned about from Will Powers for the RV when I planned on going full time in the 3401 Newmar Bar Star - actually did the specials I wanted at the factory in Indiana in 2019 something inside said "No". Then the fun started and full timing - boondocking - all changed and not fore the good. God Bless and be safe out there:)
Like yourselves, and many others who've commented, we are also night shower people. I do like the floor plan of this model you're testing. Who knows if a motor RV might be in our future. We have no little ones, they're long grown. But LOVED the iron curtain and the sweet humor of it. Legend!
Nathan, great job on describing the differences in mindsets between a trailer and a small motorhome. We've done both, and neither is 'better' than the other. They're just different. A 25' motorhome can fit in a lot of places that a larger fifth wheel can't, but there are lots of places where you can take a 4x4 truck but not a 25' motorhome. The motorhome is more convenient on the road, but the price tag is much higher. And so on. But you did a great job summarizing!👍
Jason, I really appreciated your description of traveling in a class C like a wagon wheel. That made loads of sense. The kids were so cute bringing the bedding to you in the laundromat Marissa, and I definitely agree with utilising a campground that has laundry facilities but if not, then there's always an alternative. I'm a night-shower girl too. A clean body makes that bedding stay clean so much longer = less laundry lol. Thanks for sharing - great video!
I keep stuff from falling using simple netting. Inside the fridge I added hooks and the net goes from shelf to shelf. When you stop you open it, unhook and roll the net up to the top. Could do the same with cabinets as well. Don't do a TOAD but do have a motorcycle mounted on the back with a custom 3 point hitch.
I understand the night time shower, especially with children and if using a Beddy system. The end had me though 😉 We just experienced a kid locked out & the parents forgot. Several of us ran over to check on the hysterical child (there had been bear sightings) and he was on his iPad that needed charging. So parents please make sure they have a full charge. Happy trails behind the Iron Curtain.
Prayers your home base weathered the storm. Missed your content while you came thru WA State. We're in ELECTRIC CITY WA 99123... If you get the chance to come back, the Coulee Dam, Banks Lake, Dry Falls high dessert is like a mini grand canyon and complete opposite of rain forests and coasts. If you get this way again, we have parking and hook ups! Prayers for you and yours.
Your average 14 MPG is impressive. How does the cost per mile (fuel @ $3.54+ DEF@ $2.74) compare to a gas engine ($3.23 per gal.) getting 9 MPG? Mercedes chassis are famous for lower load carrying capacity. Did you find this to be an issue? Thanks! Mark
Hi Moss family! Happy Blessed Sunday! Loved all the Q&A , it's always good to do these every once in a while, for sure. Marissa, I'm DEF a Night Shower gal as well, and for the same reason as you!! 👍😊 The lineage looks like a pretty decent way to go too! I'm glad you're testing it out with feedback, I trust what y'all say. Continued safe travels, and as always, have an amazing time!! Stay Blessed. 🙌✝️♥️🇺🇲
Rest stops and bladders do not always get on the same schedule, plus, traveling with children, little stomachs and needs also don't always coincide with rest stops.
Hey guys - we travel in a 33’ Jayco towing a 2-dr jeep. That’s what we call a couples rig 😂😂😂. Family of 4 in less than 25’… might have to get a pup tent 👍😂 be safe!
So I searched your videos and the only thing I found regarding washing machine hack was in this video Doing This To Your RV Will Save You $1,000 A Year Which is to wash bedding in laundry facility machines, not the RV washing machine. Is that it??? (That's what I do too. other wise I need to wash bottom sheet separate from top sheet, and can't wash the bed spread at all. So, laundry facility for bedding is a thing!
Thanks for answering my question! 😊(Airidessa Airstream 😉) Nice to hear that you missed your RV the very first night. Just goes to show you that you have the right RV for you. ❤ but the Lineage is a great compact RV for a fast paced road trip. Our daughter loves Hensley’s space! 🤩 I also can’t go to bed unless I’m clean. I admit, I’ve tried, but I’ve had to get up and clean myself before I can fall asleep. 😂
I have a 20’ TT . It’s perfect size for me and my dogs. I pull with full size truck. My problem with MH is it has a motor therefore it is higher insurance. It is taller in height, so you are limited from low clearance areas (ie. Parking garages, low overpasses, trees) . I can still find parking spaces when pulling because I’m only the length of 2 cars. If you’re out on the road and you’re MH breaks down, as you said your jeep did, then you have to get a hotel room until repairs are made. Where as with the trailer I still have my “home “ . These are just my opinions that I think about in looking at MH for myself.
Not towing gives me anxiety! We've had to many medical situations that we have needed to bounce from the campsite fast. So, for us, and our family, we will ALWAYS tow for nothing more than peace of mind IF an emergency hits.
Interesting video. I have a 37 ft Super C and I'm towing a 21FT pickup so about 65 ft over all. I fully agree that find a spot can be a challenge but it's not all that hard unless you want go to National Parks. Then it's the park outside and drive in. I can sleep in my pickup (I have a very tall cap) for a couple of nights so that helps things. Keep the good stuff coming.
Hello there Guys. I like taking Showers 🚿 before bedtime or during the Day nothing like cool Showers. 😊 we been watching following you guys for along time now your kids are growing up too fast 😊 they are a sweetheart 😊 love everywhere you guys go all the cool places. Have fun enjoy your time together stay safe out there on the roads Take care God bless you guys
I loved your hand drawn chart Nate, along with the explanation. We are not full time, just started being able to take trips between 3 - 4 weeks long. Both ways would work for us depending on the trip, sites, and length of time. I always shower in the morning. If full hook ups I will also shower at night. Otherwise it is a sponge bath/wash cloth clean up at night.
So the slide outs. Does the Lineage come with covers to keep debris out? Or are you up sweeping them out? I have a travel trailer without and curious of what you have experienced. Love the Lineage for the king, nice kitchen, large bath for a class C, and size. Thinking about it for a quick 3-4 week tour through several areas vs our trailer where we wagon wheel it.

If I did want a tow what is recommended by the manufacturer. I love the jeep and thinking about an EV as another option. If vehicle maybe a small trailer with a couple street EV bikes or a Can-am Trike
These were good questions to ask. I agree that if you tow a vehicle with a class C it would be hard to pull with it and harder to fit in smaller space at campgrounds. I would do that too! Also with the washing clothes at laundromat while on the road is a great idea and or at the campground. I take one shower a day and that’s because of the pollen outside. Or anything else out there. Nice the dinette can fit a tall person as well. And your king bed. Nice that Hensley has a privacy curtain. It’s nice to it doesn’t take you long to set up and tare down. I’m loving the Lineage. Thank you for this video! Stay safe and safe travels. Have a great week and see you soon!
We have a 25 ft motorhome and love the nmbleness of it. Plus, we have a kitchen and bath everywhere we go. We book about 24 hours out so our schedule is very flexible. No toad and no desire to pull anything behind us.
You showed us how long set up/takedown took. You showed us the laundry hack. You showed us the traveling down the road scenario. You didn’t show us how long the last question took. Hmmmm…
Night showerer to wash all the dirt and allergies of the day off before getting into clean sheets is wonderful. We never walk around when our motorhome is moving. It's too easy to stop, then do whatever we need to do. Thanks guys! Stay safe and have fun.
We have a small 17' rv for small trips. It has a murphy bed & the mattress folds in half like yours. What brand is it & is it comfortable. Ours is ok but might want to get a better one someday.
I can’t wrap my head around the fact that some people don’t shower every night before bed. Even more disgusting to me is the fact that some people don’t even shower everyday. 🤮
We downsized from a 39 ft Class A to a 25 ft Class C for 2 retirees. The change has been so worth it for ease of set up and tear down and ability to get into smaller sites. It has also decreased the fatigue factor of driving a big rig. We use satellite view on Google maps to scope out parking in shopping areas and restaurants. We try to do our grocery and laundry and errand stops before going to campsite at the end of the day. We had a washer dryer before but I don't miss it at all. We have been on the road 3-4 months at a time without getting stir crazy.
I have a relative who got up for a potty break while the RV was moving. When the driver had to slam on the brakes, she did the superman flight all the way to the front, and ended up looking worse than Frankenstein.
I prefer to shower at night too. It is not only hard to sleep while dirty, but the bedclothes get soiled and need washing more often.
YES! More for Team Before Bed! 🎉
Night shower if I am dirty.i just itch.
Hope your family is safe with all the weather!!
Love you guys! But it is kind of nerve wracking to watch you move around when the rv is driving.
Thanks for following our journey! I definitely have been working on my sea legs😂
I’m absolutely a night time shower person. I’m with you Marissa

unsolicited advice :) try a high back booster for JJ-it will make seatbelt fit better and make him reach the table better (and def. safer)
Thanks so much. We’re almost done our travels
Second this suggestion!
Tension rods in fridge are a godsent
Yes! Nothing like opening up your fridge to spilled milk
I do both Marissa, showering morning and night!😊❤

🎉🎉 true story! Makes my laundry job easier too
How do you grab a cancellation? What app do you use to check that?
A lot of it is constantly checking the websites, then there are apps like Arvie that can alert you when there’s a cancellation.
Marissa I agree .. all day grime needs to be washed away and not in my clean sheets ...

More team Before Bed! 🎉🎉 And yes, it’s so very efficient to travel this way. Especially when you want to just go fast!
I quit towing a Travel trailer and fifth wheel because, no matter where you go, you're driving a truck with bad mileage. We now have a DP and tow a very fuel efficient vehicle. If we take the car trailer, I can take an EV.
So true! When you tow, you have to drive that beast everywhere-and it’s almost all city driving. Just makes sense.
Everyone sort of figures out what works for them I think and there's a lot of trial and error in the process. I have a 26 foot class C, and my 'toad' is a 150cc type scooter I hitch up on the back. Great for taking off and running around local areas. I've camped on BLM land just outside national/state parks and rode that scooter around the national park to explore. I also frequently stay in cities, urban camping as they say, and this configuration works well for that. But then I'm just one person.
WOW, I remember when your first child was only an infant - time flies!!! I wound up skipping the RV thing (glad I did) in favor of an off grid Cabin in northern New Hampshire on 7 acres. God Bless:)
Oh my goodness! An off grid cabin… hmm might be a worthwhile adventure for us to try too 😊 but can I still shower every night?
@@LessJunkMoreJourney LOL...off grid in the sense its on a dirt road surrounded by forest (White Mountain region).

I hate laundry, even in a home. I hate touching hot cloths. So on the road I pay by the pound, Fluff and fold.👍
Oh wow, that’s a great idea!
To keep drunk octopus from falling out of bed, put a larger diameter pool noodle under the fitted sheet. Worked for our octopus when he was little.
That’s what we did too, it was perfect and not intrusive visually.
What about getting the unit serviced? Oil changes for example, will any Benz dealer work on these or is it a pain to get routine maintenance done?
Oh wow, I’m loving my “push it up” Murphy bed more & more😂.
I love my JAYCO class C, 7ft ceilings make all the difference inside. ↕ Plus most drivables have a genset, so no shore power needed. 🔌
Ceiling height makes all the difference, even if you’re not tall, it visually feels larger.

You are not alone. Night showerer also. I do not want all the days crude in my bed.
Shower at night. after setting up even in decent weather I get a little sweaty and will not be able to sleep.
I agree with Marissa, I don't like to go to bed dirty
I hope you're guys' home base is doing ok!
It is. Thank you so much for your concern. Please keep everyone who has been impacted in your prayers.

Love the Lineage for the king, nice kitchen, large bath for a class C, and size. Thinking about it for a quick 3-4 week tour through several areas vs our trailer where we wagon wheel it.

If I did want a tow what is recommended by the manufacturer. I love the jeep and thinking about an EV as another option. If vehicle maybe a small trailer with a couple street EV bikes or a Can-am Trike
Please go to France for a month in spring! (Summer is to hot and busy) France is very easy and accommodating for rving. I would love to see that!
These were good questions to ask. I agree that if you tow a vehicle with a class C it would be hard to pull with it and harder to fit in smaller space at campgrounds. I
would do that too! Also with the washing clothes at laundromat while on the road is a great idea and or at the campground. I take one shower a day and that’s because of the pollen outside. Or anything else out there. Nice the dinette can fit a tall person as well. And your king bed. Nice that Hensley has a privacy curtain. It’s nice to it doesn’t take you long to set up and tare down. I’m loving the Lineage. Thank you for this video! Stay safe and safe travels. Have a great week and see you soon!
We have a 25 ft motorhome and love the nmbleness of it. Plus, we have a kitchen and bath everywhere we go. We book about 24 hours out so our schedule is very flexible. No toad and no desire to pull anything behind us.
Works out well, at home and in our 17’ travel trailer. I shower in the am (sometimes pm too depending on what I do). Hubby in the pm.
How did you fare with the OCCC of 1026? Did you weigh yourself once loaded?
You showed us how long set up/takedown took. You showed us the laundry hack. You showed us the traveling down the road scenario. You didn’t show us how long the last question took. Hmmmm…
Night showerer to wash all the dirt and allergies of the day off before getting into clean sheets is wonderful. We never walk around when our motorhome is moving. It's too easy to stop, then do whatever we need to do. Thanks guys! Stay safe and have fun.
Love the organization, details & explanation! Another great video guys!
We have a small 17' rv for small trips. It has a murphy bed & the mattress folds in half like yours. What brand is it & is it comfortable. Ours is ok but might want to get a better one someday.
I can’t wrap my head around the fact that some people don’t shower every night before bed. Even more disgusting to me is the fact that some people don’t even shower everyday. 🤮
Wow, love your A-to-B demonstration it really explains the travel difference and not having the need to have a toad. Thanks for that!
We downsized from a 39 ft Class A to a 25 ft Class C for 2 retirees. The change has been so worth it for ease of set up and tear down and ability to get into smaller sites. It has also decreased the fatigue factor of driving a big rig. We use satellite view on Google maps to scope out parking in shopping areas and restaurants. We try to do our grocery and laundry and errand stops before going to campsite at the end of the day. We had a washer dryer before but I don't miss it at all. We have been on the road 3-4 months at a time without getting stir crazy.
I have a relative who got up for a potty break while the RV was moving. When the driver had to slam on the brakes, she did the superman flight all the way to the front, and ended up looking worse than Frankenstein.
With the Lineage, can you safely run the LP generator to run the AC while driving?
Night time shower!! And I make my family shower at night too!!!
I can't sleep unless I have a shower! Definitely night time showers!
We really love the Ontrour unit from PleasureWay, wish we could do it, but so much money!
Thank you so much about you explaining how to drive without a car.
Thank you, Marissa for showing me an adult sleeping at the dinette! I was so hoping you would answer that!!
Morning shower but if I get sweaty during the day I’ll take a shower before bedtime
Cool RV! Thanks for answering all of the questions!
Great video. Very informative. I liked the fact that you don't miss a toad.
You are not alone Marissa! We have to feel clean before bed, keeps sheets cleaner,(I change sheets every Friday) and we sleep better!!
Shower at night. Btw how’d y’all place in Tn fair through the storm ?
if you tow a car behind a motorhome you may as well just tow a trailer. and you have 2 engines to maintain.
