today's tuesday talks for rvers is all about RVs and a lot of them
so today we are headed a little north from wonderful warm florida
and somebody now is cold it's beautiful here don't get me wrong but it's cold
how cool too cold for me below 85. we're headed a little north to spend some time with family
for christmas which that's important and it's worth the brief time we will spend in the cold
i'm done but but we can't bring everybody south to spend christmas with us in the rv because we
don't have enough room for everybody in the rv and i don't think anybody else in our family rvs
so what are you gonna do so after we head up north for a very very very brief time we are headed back
south and that's where you're going to find us at the 2022
tampa or i'm not sure what it's called super rv show um it's in tampa florida whichever way you
want to call it the tampa RV show yeah i'll get the name wrong but it's in tampa it's um at the
state fair grounds i think is where it is so we're going to actually stay on the fairgrounds and
spend as much time as we can in the show looking at rvs meeting people because it's all about the
people and the places who knows we may be looking for our next rv again it's time this time i think
time to get a new rv he always wants a new rv it's time i like my fusion i like my fusion
too but maybe it's time for a new fusion maybe it's time for something different
we'll see about that but what we really want to talk about today is we want to talk to you guys
do you have an rv because it's come to our
um i guess we've come to know and i can't think of the right words it's come to our attention
that some of you don't even rv or don't have rvs maybe you're looking to get an rv
um so we wanted to talk for a minute today won't keep you long about choosing the right rv for you
for us well we started choosing rv we didn't go by brand specific at the time
we went by what suited us the best which one had the best well first we knew we wanted to go to toy
hauler so that broke it down that knocked off 90 of what you're gonna get and then once we started
looking at toy haulers we decided we need to look for a certain floor plan that was going to fit our
needs not a certain brand because i'm not buying a certain brand just because it it's a brand
i'm gonna buy something that's gonna fit us well and so for us it came down to there were
two different brands two different floor plans it wasn't that the same it wasn't two brands had
the same floor plan um it came down to two different brands two different floor plans
similar but different and at the end of the day we had had a keystone before and we knew what that
service was like and we liked it we were happy with the travel trailer we had years ago that was
a keystone and we just decided that weighed in and at the end of the day that floor plan
we thought was going to be a better fit so that's where we went but there's a lot of factors when
you think about getting an rv there's a lot of things that come to play so maybe you don't
need a toy hauler first of all you need to decide like how many people's in your group
because when we first started there was five of us now there's two and what's funny about that
is we started in a pop-up with five of us and now we're in this big toy hauler with two of us
how many people are you gonna have you have to have sleeping room for all those people
you have to have enough refrigerator space to go back to the sleeping side of it you'll see you'll
see them say it sleeps 10. sometimes i wonder how they ever take your ten people with you and
make sure that everybody can sleep comfortably because four is not sleeping in my queen-size bed
no and like the dinette we had on our pop-up you know of course i think manufacturers say that
sleeps too and that sleeps to kids but there's two these two aren't fitting because it's pretty
much the equivalent to a twin size bed so make sure that it will sleep your tent don't take
their word for it go in with as many of your people as you can and make sure that everybody
fits comfortably if if you if it's cold or it's raining and you all have to come inside
and you're going to watch tv does everybody have a place to sit they can see the tv or if you're
going to have so that's what we honestly do when we go to the shows now we will sit in a camper
for 25 30 minutes 45 minutes we will and i'm sorry if this you don't like this but we will
kick our chairs out and watch people come around and see how how people walk through because if you
have to put your feet down in your recliner every time one of the kids wants to go to the bunk room
you don't think it's going to be a big deal but it could be that's why we we actually try to live in
the community we kind of move in at the show and sit for a while and let people come and go so if
i see you if i see your feet up in the middle of the show i know why you're doing it's okay
and we've seen them in people's beds seeing them in the shower trying to wash their hair
because showers are not always real tall so if you're a tall person you may not fit so that's
a big thing for you um and they're making showers smaller now that i've been seeing if it's a pull
out couch and somebody is going to need to sleep on it make sure you know how to pull it out that
it's functional that you can work when it's out and that those people that are supposed to sleep
on it will fit so let me back up so first of all you need to decide what kind of rig you want
do you want to pop up do you want like a class a a class b a a super c a fifth wheel a travel trailer
a toy hauler i think that's best yeah i'm not gonna drop a tent because that's not a thing but
there's like a little teardrops and whatever so it's gonna be what you need to fit your needs then
it's gonna be narrow it down to once you make that decision that it's let's just say a fifth wheel
you need a bunk house so you need to go and look at the bunk houses and then once you
find look at all the brands i mean unless you're just madly in love with one even then still i
still look at all the brands because you just never know somebody may have something that's
the perfect floor plan for you and you didn't go look at their brand so you missed out so look at
as many brands as you can research it online go to as many shows as you can which brings us to
we're going to the show we're going to look we're going to look at toy haulers
because that's what we love um i'm gonna of course look at the fusions because they're
my favorite we'll be in a Fuzion booth most of the time but i'm still gonna go look at all the
other key all the other toy haulers that other brands have to offer whether it be to try to
drop a hint in someone's ear that it could be a feature that fusion could add in the future
you know i don't know but you don't know until you go check everything out so we will but
if there is who else is going to the show any of you guys know you're going when are you going if
you're going let us know maybe we can try to meet up somewhere because we are going to do
a lot of minute we're going to be there from open to closing just about every single day and we want
to meet as many people as we can we're staying on the fairgrounds at the on their property um which
makes it a lot easier because we can pretty much be there open to close and we will meet
hopefully any of you that are going to be staying on the fairgrounds and camping there
we would love for you to say hey we're going to be there and then even when you get there and you
kind of find out the sites aren't like numbered like in the campground or maybe they are i don't
remember from last year but once you find out kind of the area you're in shoot us a message on social
media email whatever hey this is who we are this is where we are and we would love to meet you um
or in the show you know hey this is where i am we're going to be at the fusion booth a lot so
you can swing by and just say hey introduce yourselves meet us we want to meet you
but if you're not able to go so if you're not able to go to the team this is where we're going to try
to help you as much as we can to a point because we can't do with so many one of the things we do
on our channel we've done it in the past we will continue to do it because when we were looking
for rvs it was very frustrating when the floor plan we wanted wasn't at the dealership at home
it was at the dealership and the next state over and who wants to drive all the way
there to see one floor plan so we started doing camper tours as part of our channel
if it's a new floor plan or a new brand we think they've got something really cool we'll do a tour
of that camper posted on our channel for you all to see um so if there's something that you guys
want to see let us know what brand what floor plan whatever if it's there we will i mean of course if
we get like hundreds of people want to see floor plans we can't do that but i'll get 99 of them
we will do our best um to visit as many of the campers that you all are asking about and do
tours of them or if we have to just take pictures and we can send them to you i can send them to you
and if you're looking at this specific camper and this specific floor plan is there something
real specific you want to see like online they have all these pictures but they never show the
inside of the closet in the master bedroom that kind of stuff throw that in the comments as well
so that we can be real specific and get what you need and incorporate that in our video so that's
it for this one we're hoping to see many of you guys there we want to meet up as many as you can
if you want us to do a video on something you want us to show you something comment below let us know
and even if it's not a camper you want to see like we're going to take some footage at the show
i'll show you what it's all about because they don't need to see the food trucks maybe not the
food trucks but the food is pretty good um but you know like what the show's all about because the
show in tampa is a huge bigger than hershey even though hershey says it's the largest rv huge um so
i think there's a safe chance that if there is a specific something you want to see it's going to
be there and we can share it with you however it works for you just let us know comment below send
us something on instagram or whatever if it's just a picture of something you want to see we
can send you that um and as always guys until you find us camping at the tampa show safe travel job
