good morning it is freezing in Texas no literally it's 31 degrees we froze last
night we have heaters on in both of the RVs
and Angela's got her van parked behind me got heat in there Ford rezi right now
I've got heat in here making coffee and and keeping Jax warm I'm having a little
bit of flashbacks here with the cold but it's gonna be okay we are gonna make a
change here later today because of the temperature I didn't know that it
continues to freeze into late February and even into March every night in Texas
in Central Texas I think I called the southern Texas in my last video but now
Lake Whitney is Central Texas and yes it is still going to freeze and we're not
gonna boondock in in the frozen temperatures we just don't need to so
we're gonna make a change here at the end of this video and actually go over
and get a couple sites over there at the thousand trails with hookups an electric
ceramic heat and it's just there's no reason to I'm not trying to prove to
anybody that I can endure the Texas cold but after we get coffee done we're gonna
keep Yoda and Jack's here and rezi and Angela and I are gonna take the van her
Class B van down to a dealership nearby so sip your warm coffee and stay warm
there guys you want to come along with me for my day and see what we find on
the road guys I'm driving the Dodge van here
being careful because it's still kind of icy on some of the overpasses but let
you know where we get stopped and what we're gonna go look at today the Waffle
House burger with aspirins okay right now we're going to go to an
undisclosed location in Texas and we're going to go RV shopping we want to look
around and step into a few and see what different models and designs are like on
the inside and outside so well let you know we get there I think it's kind of
obvious that probably going to be upgrading and not downgrading so but we
need to get out of this section right here these are all Fleetwood's
not saying I'll definitely stay away from the Fleetwood but uh yeah
shopping how much is that two hundred and forty six thousand dollars where's
your cheap section all right look I don't do RV tours but I have to step
into a nearly $300,000 RV just to get a starting point here right
oh my gosh are you kidding me
okay well the slide is in right now but this does bring up a really good point
like I always say slides no way no way because if you're gonna boondock you
can't you can get past the fridge in the couch you literally can't use this RV
until this slide goes out so but that's not always the case I would consider a
slide or two if it was still functional while closed up so that if you're still
foon docking I don't know that the thing in a big class a but if you are you can
still make it functional and this one this is meant to be parked for months at
a time with the slides out so no there's rows and rows of classes here and we're
in the coachmen section these are the Murata's let's go look at Amerada right
the slides are all in so we'll get a good idea what it looks like
without the slides out so there is an aisle with all the slides are in you can
open up the fridge and get to the bathroom
not a huge aisle but definitely maneuverable with the slides in and back
here or give the low light but the queen size walk around bed is simply not a
walk around bed when the slide is in the in position you would have to climb over
the bed to get to the bathroom so this could definitely be an option because it
is still functional with the slides in okay I don't know about this huge
dinette it's kind of got the movie theater seats here but up front angela
was just noticing that here in the passenger seat it actually has a
pull-out table where you could work with this
awesome view of other RVs but yeah hey Mike just looking at a whole bunch of
different models and price ranges and everything trying to see what is
available this one's a little more affordable under $100,000 oh I guess
they give you no door at a lower price okay that's cool stood up the side door
here this is a 28 foot class ard so you'd go in the side door and then climb
up front here instead which is okay obviously the slide is out right now but
wow that's actually a really big walkway and a queen walk around bed back here I
like I'll just let you know Angela and I do have a list of things that are like a
must-have type thing so we do have certain things they were looking for but
I really like these movie theater style seats recliners that's so much better
than a couch so we're gonna dink around here and do a little bit of eyes
shopping just to kind of familiarize ourself and I'm not gonna say anything
else till later so yeah and get back well
I'll come back with you when we get back to the Lake Whitney trout resort place
okay alright we're back and I'm gonna pack up the last few things out of my RV
and we're gonna go head over to our plugin spot for the freezing
temperatures coming and just want to say got to look at a few dealerships and a
lot of RVs and I've put a down payment on something for the future I already
did that is because Yoda is officially sold guys yeah as promised I did not let
that turn into a bidding war even though apparently that's what a lot of people
thought I was gonna do no I got my asking price but I'm going to keep the
sellers information private for their own benefit I guess right now but I've
already I've already been paid for Yoda she is definitely sold and I'm not gonna
lie if you haven't been in this position it is incredibly
emotional Wow it really is uh-huh yeah it is it is strange to be moving on from
Yoda and I got a lot of feelings right now but you know change is good I am
really excited about the future guys and I hope you are too
I'm glad you're along with the journey because this is going to be interesting
I still got quite a bit of work to do to prepare Yoda for delivery and like I
said I just put a down payment on the next phase of RV life still got some
paperwork and some fixes to do but I think I'm pretty sure I found the RV I
definitely found the dealer and just put a down payment on my new RV I'm gonna
keep you waiting I'm gonna keep you in suspense so like I said let's pack up
and let's get over to our full hookup spot not as bad as I thought actually I
am pleasantly surprised this is a Thousand Trails campground part of the
membership they're uh they're wide open today Angela my got first pick so she is
my neighbor right here and they're just sites open all over the place so not
busy this time of year here at this Thousand Trails in Texas but do have
full hookups and I already got the heater set to 75 degrees in there so oh
and we also picked these two sites because there's a little walking trail
through here so he can meet up at some of our last last days in two separate
RVs but I like Angela's spot better she's on the computer getting some some
work done and you can see this little back area where Jackson dress II can go
sniff around on leash and hang out and explore the area and a safe spot back
here I really was worried that this was gonna be more like a RV park but this
thousand trails campground is really a campground which is nice and I'm not
probably gonna go look and explore the tennis courts and putt-putt golf the
pool and the Sun are closed here for the season
but I mean it's got its got everything its gets even got a weight room and a
fitness center and arcade and horseshoe pits and all sorts of stuff so it's nice
but this is bittersweet I don't think too many youtubers are going through
such a big change right now and to have Yoda sold it is it is it's interesting
like I said lots of lots of emotions but that had to happen in order to move on
to the next chapter of RV Nomad life I can't say it enough I hope you guys are
excited as I am I will give you an update as soon as possible let me let me
get through the weekend and see what's going on at the dealership see how much
progress they made and the things I had to say and should be signing some
official official paperwork here on Monday so maybe I'll get back with you
guys on Tuesday we'll just just be patient with me guys some all right well
we'll see you soon bye bye
