welcome back if you're new please subscribe where the RV Odd Couple I'm
John I'm Mercedes and long story short we sold all of our possessions bought an
RV to live in full time with the toddler and a dog he and we could not be any
more polar opposites in every single way this is either a really good idea or a
really bad idea I'm not sure which one yet but we couldn't be more polar
opposites everything the way we look at the world is entirely different but I do
want to preface by saying it's also one of the things that makes us really good
and unstoppable we decided to we sold our business about four years ago moved
down to Florida we tried the boating life the fishing the dolphins and it was
amazing it was yeah we had a lot of fun but it's kind of an old place where we
were living which Mercedes was the youngest place in the congas person in
the community that that we were living in and after four years you know it was
bad like the neighbor my only friend in this neighborhood invited me to do water
aerobics and she was god bless her she's awesome but she was born the same year
my mother was and that was like my best friend and my only friend
so we needed something that was a little different yeah you know after four years
of that we just about a year ago started talking about doing something different
we were missing Colorado she was missing her family yeah I was missing Colorado
and some of the close friends that I have back there and we figured when we
sold the company will go into Florida and retire happily ever after and it's
not quite the way it worked out you can only fish and go out the boat and do
yeah so much we decided to sell the house and we did and I've been in
construction my whole life so I made the place absolutely beautiful and we sold
it and we considered going into the RV life a year year and a half ago we
started talking about this and with it with a young kid we just didn't think
that let's see the milk in the car she's good she wants milk yeah we started
watching a lot of YouTube videos and you know we slowly got rid of stuff more and
more because the house was we went 2800 square feet to 1500 square feet and
now we're going into four hundred and forty square feet oh my god making the
transition from living a home having a home having things to the type of yes
having stuff to the type of living we've chose we've done it I wouldn't do it I
wouldn't do it any differently than the way we brought it so far it's been
perfect yeah it's we're taking our time we did
all the research to find out the right vehicle for us the right toe but for us
on all the things that we need to do YouTube was just YouTube's amazing it's
amazing you can find anything out on YouTube any problem just YouTube it yeah
you can see a visual way I'm gonna fix it yeah and we joined a couple of
communities and we watch their videos and we supported those people that was
the whole purpose of us starting this show was those guys helped us so much
well yeah and they just freely gave this information and it was so useful and
they didn't ask for you know they just said hey these are the products we got
this is why we liked them it was just so awesome that they would give us that
valuable information and really opened their families and lives up to it yeah
let people know you get to see authentically what people are really
like I think that's a good overview and I think the purpose of what we're doing
now is just to take you along with us we're hoping that you guys can tell us
suggestions and we're hoping that we're providing you with information that's
valuable too because one of the things we're sharing is things that we wish we
had heard as much as we had such great stuff on YouTube there's a bunch of
stuff that we wish we had been told to and that's what we're trying to share
and since it's so fresh we can offer that perspective you know
the freakout is really fresh so we can tell you what it's all about so anyway
