Great video, Brian. You answered some questions for me that we've been discussing lately. Thanks for reading my mind on living in a B van. I hope y'all had a great visit with your friends. Much love from SC, Jane❤️🙏

Do you have any hobbies? I sew and even bring my machine when we camp. Do you get tired of going on tours and doing tourist things?

We have a small class C. Question though is do you stay long in one place? We travel July and August and it is tiring. The longest we stay anywhere is 2 weeks near family. By the time we get home I am exhausted. Not to say it isn’t great traveling and seeing things without going in and out of hotels but long days on the road are killers.

These are all really good points. TFS!

Well, my enlistment TI (Training Instructor) was telling me to bring my 12 recruits to the airport ant put them aon planes to Lackland AFB

My wife tells me I need to get over the Nixon Tapes! Tells me to grow up and get over the bullshit that Tricky Dick Posted in our Black and White Newspaper days! Nixon talked the bullsitt and it was reporte on the Cleveland Press, the Cleveland Plaindealer, And in the 60's, we had the Cleveland Free Press![op that our new Prisresident took over after Predident Johnson

Brian and Michelle, I love to follow you two all these years! Now how of a sudden, I had learned how to take a 1 minute shower in 1970 when I was in the USAF, Lackland AFB!

Guys. I have a 22 turismo ion and I tried the battery with the AC on. The battery started at 100% and ran out it in about 5 hours (parked). About 20% per hour. Seems quite high consumption for the Dometic unit, I would not expect it to last the whole night. Also when I ran about (0%) I was not able to recharge the battery with the engine. I had to connect to shore power. One more thing, with the AC and the car idle, the batteries will not go down but they will not add charge. Seems to me that the AC is pulling too much power. I want to get your opinion. Thanks!

You should consider getting a high idle system installed. It will increase the RPMs, allow charging faster, and it is better for the engine.

There is an event downtown every weekend in the summer. Don’t forget the drive-in theater in Newton!

Great info. Thanks. Brand new. Looking at vans for extended trips of a couple to maybe 8 weeks at a time. Have you ever run out of battery power while boondocking? Thinking about a few days a time and how do you/would you handle that? I know there are solar panels and the high output alternator, but how do you leverage them in that situation?

We found a great shower/bathroom at the YMCA in Newton, IA just outside of Des Moines! Interested to see what to both do next!

Always love to hear your perspective on things, Michelle. And as a working woman, you still challenge yourself to enjoy your family, surroundings and pie. Safe travels.

I got the sense you were hinting at a possible RV swap out in the near future? Just a sense. Love your videos and as a current Grech owner, it gives us a bunch of ideas. Thx.

We appreciate all the specific details in this video! Thank you. We love our Grech

Thank you. We are aware of the TPMS along with the pre wiring for Starlink so we hope to have both.

Where did you get your steering wheel desk?

When you all decided to hit the road, what did you do with all your stuff, ie: furniture, clothing etc.? I think I remember hearing you all sold your home, is that right?

Brian you talked a lot about recharging your batteries with engine, I’m wondering. Do the solar panels not do much ?

Brian, today’s video just might be our favorite so far. You articulated so much valuable information about van life. Thanks to your videos, we decided on Grech for our future class B purchase. We cannot wait to get our Grech strada ion tour!

“Living in a van down by the river.” Classic! Sure LivinRVision’s version is far superior to Chris Farley’s vision. 😅

Thank you for the well articulated explanation Brian!! 😊I also love all your music selections! 🎶

Wow!! 🔥

What is the manufacturer of your lithium batteries in your Gretch van? What size and total do you have??

We travel part time in a Tiffin Class C and have turned our shower into an additional pantry/overflow area. Love all the extra space, and if the showers are really bad at the campground, I have no problem washing my hair in the kitchen sink (cleaned out, of course)! Our longest trip has been 5 1/2 months and it's worked out great for our needs. Do ya'll spend much time outside at the CG?

I want a remote job where u can work from anywhere and still make enough to live comfortably. I know you did a video about that a while back. Any additional tips?

Im really surprised how few use the shower…. I way rather use that than a truck or camp show no matter how clean…..r the class b that hard to shower in?

Love this video. So informative, thank you!

Thank you for all of the information!!! Do you stay at family members homes when in Iowa? Will you still keep a you tube channel if you get a home? How long are you planning to stay in Iowa this time and is that where you will settle? Happy travels!! ❤

Very few van lifer's mention the miles per gallon or fuel costs. How does the Grech RV do in that department. And what is your opinion on gas vs diesel ?

I have only been a subscriber for a short amount of time and I just want to tell you, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ❤️ watching your videos!!!!! Your videos are of such high quality, so fun to watch and so beautifully edited. Please continue doing what the two of you have been doing. 😊🥰❤️

Great video. I always enjoy just hearing about your day to day stuff with the van. It allows us to make decisions based on your pro's and con's that you have experienced so I can just focus on the pro's😊 Hopefully we will be pulling the trigger soon on the Grech. Not full time but good times!

Great video. Husband and I plan on renting a van for a road trip. This will tell us if it is what we are looking for.

I think what you are doing and the way you are traveling is so very cool.

Great video as always! Thanks for sharing! Living in a van down by the river…😂 SNL

😊❤😊

We plan on trading in our class A diesel pusher (Tiffin Allegro RED) and getting a Grech Strada Ion, hopefully during the Tampa RV Supershow.

I have a premium membership at Planet Fitness (less than $30 per month). I use their showers on my travels. Cheaper than truck stop showers.

We really appreciate all of the information you shared from this video. It was exactly what we were looking for. We are preparing to purchase a 2025 Strada Ion Tour in January. We never heard of these RVs until your video of your first one a few years ago. We have been following your videos since you were in Vinny. We have previously had a class B and currently have a Class A, but we only travel extendedly a few months of the year when we leave our Florida home. We are looking forward to our new adventures in our future Grech.

OMG. At 78 and 5 class A,B,C’s in our rear view mirror. You ALMOST started that ITCH again. Well thank Goodness we now have a beach house in NC to enjoy. WHEW….No cold shoulder needed today but tons of memories that you touch on each week ! Hearty Thanks stay safe 🙏

Ok, is it crazy that I know all the words to your intro song and sing it as I’m waiting for the episode to start 😂. Seriously though, it is such a catchy tune, probably should get some type of UA-cam award 👍😊.

Do you guys ever get nervous of having an issue with the motor of the van and getting stranded? Enjoyed the information!! Safe travels!!

What kind of towels are you using (the ones hanging by bathroom door)? Doesn’t look like the ones on Amazon store

Great video and great info too. We have a 22' Class B, but we don't live in it full time. Not sure if we could do that with any RV, really. But it does afford us a lot of storage space (garage below rear bed and lots of drawers and storage areas), comfortable living space, and lots of memories. No matter which RV you choose, there are always compromises... there is no perfect way to travel. Have a great adventure, and be seeing you!

Happy hour/time is good.😀

This was very informative! Thank you Brian and Michelle ❤❤

❤

I would love to travel like you guys do. My boyfriend and I are best friends so we could totally do it. He retires in six years and I’m hoping to travel some like you guys do.❤❤❤

A lot of good info. Our first RV has been a 45 ft Class A so we've never known anything different. I can say though there has been time when I wished we had something smaller and I can greatly appreciate odd of the advantages of a van like yours. In fact, I wish I could have a van like yours plus our Class A. Safe traveling and stay healthy. Hope to meet y'all on the road sometime :-)

Ok, how do you guys simply get a break from each other? Been married 40 years and at times, to keep the peace we have the space of a house , I work in the garage, she has a craft space, how do you guys manage some of that?
