Thanks for the updates, sound like a lot of work. Let’s just do the Ritz thank you.
sorry hope you guys are doing well and having fun be safe
Obviously you didn’t come to Arkansas we never pay that much here
Just want to say you have a lot of very nice awesome pix on your instagram, like to save and use some of them but it’s ok. Keep up your good soul journey and experiences the awesome beauty of nature and God creations. God bless!!
We RV, if the grand kids go, we need full hookups. If it’s just my wife and me, it doesn’t matter if we hookup or not. The very best camp/RV ground is Mountain Lakes in Lytle Creek Ca. Hookups, pool, fishing, bar, swim up bar, club house, store and more…
CheapRVLiving just started a new series on cheap camping spots mostly out west, most of which is BLM land I think, but may be a good resource for you.
You are getting better an better girl. great post
Brook I wanted to ask you, in one of your recent videos you mentioned that you got kicked out of a Walmart, what happened,?
Thanks honey
Chelsea what size is your camper and do you have a regular size RV frig or is it more a less a hotel size frig?
Thank you so much for this video; very helpful. I love what you post.
& I ♡ Banks!
Nice :0)
Good info!
Don’t stay to long in a campground that has a cell phone tower next to it, it will cause depression,sleeplessness,anxiety and so on even cancer depending how long your near one. Be safe and god bless
was wondering do you any kinda issues with your dog. like in Fl the dobbie would be considered dangerous breed do u have any issues in rv parks pass fl
Good info. Good job!
hello from new Mexico are you guys doing ok just worried about you guy’s
I just found you a couple of days ago and I’ve been binge watching your videos! I LOVE your style and character, I just graduated college and my goals are just to work my ass off and be able to do something similar like this, I’m so happy to have found you! 💙💙💙💙💙
glad to know that you guys are ok.
Great info!!
Chelsea, Thank-you for responding
A few things:
Numero Uno- Well done. Every day that you spend traveling will not only enrich your life, but it will also enrich those who are fortunate enough to know you.
I’m planning a solo trip in the next few weeks across the Trans America Trail and also the Continental Divide Trail. I really love to camp around the National Forests
and it’s normally free and you can camp up to 14 days (although I’ve never stayed that long)
I’m sure your needs are probably a bit more extensive than mine and you probably need occasional hookups, etc.
I’ve used this website before https://freecampsites.net/ to help locate spots when I really need somewhere to stay between my destinations. There’s also a few apps that you can get for android or apple that do the same thing.
I can’t wait to see more from you!!!
I’m over here thinking did I miss a live stream? 🙁 noooooooo! lol
Research New Mexico’s annual State Park pass. Great value for exploring that state. More and more people of all ages are going full time, and it’s getting harder to get RV park sites without booking months and months in advance. Mixed blessing.
Good info thanks.
Do u usually use your generator while staying in Wal-Mart parking lots?
Does anybody use them there?
Thanks again
Lots of good info. I have watched 2 channels that drove thru NJ and no free parking there. The cops said, they think a lot of their state and think you should pay money to stay there. WHAT? Plus lots of tolls in the NE, so have plenty of cash!
We found some state and national parks in Colorado that was very affordable, Chelsea you could always buy a sailboat and travel a lot cheaper as long as you have wind, it gets expensive when you start sailing to all the Caribbean Islands, checking into customs, high price of grocery, but if you just sail the east coast of the United States and Florida and the Bahamas its very affordable.
oH Boiiiii! Another great vidz. Keep them coming. Thanks for the info. ❤💨 Safe Travels 🐳💨
90 percent of the earth populous is on the coasts of the world. So it makes sense its more expensive.
Hey Chelsea I emailed and Commented on your "Live Stream" last night (27 Jun) and not sure if my email got through – or how long the comment Link in Live stream is available… so – sorry if this is a repeat but – copy and pasted:

thanks for the info Chelsea ❤👏👏
BE well be happy.PEACE…
Maybe don’t jump from site to site so much (to save on travel, gas, site cost) and document more events and nature.
Your gonna make a video on the differences between the campsites? But… but.. you already did and you uploaded it yesterday.
great tips for someone that want to get into the van/rv life style
I want
East isn’t always cheaper. We stayed at the KOA near Gettysburg and it was $70 a night for full hook up (the only choice available at that time) in 2003.
Awesome vid as usual, waiting for your cost of video hope to begin my adventure sooon!!! 😎👍🏻
Just the opposite here in FL. Summer is the off season and considerably cheaper.
I’ve always thought it would be cool to live similarly to a nomadic lifestyle. Like, a camping lifestyle in places like Yellowstone Park. If not nomadically. What stops me is the lack of funds and transportation.
Great Information!
Sorry I’ve been a little MIA but I’ve been keeping up in the background. Hope everything continues to go well and I hope to meet up soon!
You talk about KOA, they seem to have a lot of amenities but they are always loaded with kids…..no thank you. I am from the west coast and if I find a place under $35 I feel like I hit a bargain.
Hear horror stories about east coast, especially NE-odd your opposite. Boondocking? Try ALL STAYS APP. KOAs arent big out here/ too $$$-try Thousand Trails.
Very good video informational thank you and could you do a video on how you make money while you’re traveling around. Unless you’ve already made a video on it could you point me in the right direction to that video.
Chelsea… We miss your wonderful updates, Hope you are well and safe and making the best memories as you travel about…Peace, Edward "Sean"
somewhere around five minutes and 15 seconds you made a statement about…30 or $35 you paid for boondocking
well boondocking is usually when you don’t pay anything at all…no wait …it IS when you don’t pay anything at all…boondocking is like Walmart parking lot or BLM land where you don’t pay anything… or somebody’s driveway where you don’t pay anything… where you’re not hooked up to anything… that is what boondocking is… whenever you have to PAY to be someplace… that is NOT boondocking…
also then again at about 6 minutes and 35 seconds you talk about boondocking…how you paid for boondocking and your generator had to be cut off because you only had a two-hour limit …okay you never pay for boondocking… never… if you want to have your generator on 24 hours a day… you can go ahead and do it… because usually there’s nobody around you or you’re in a parking lot where nobody cares… boondocking is when you’re out in the middle of BFU and nobody knows you’re there …most of the time during the winter you might do boondocking like in Arizona… there’s a lot of them there where you don’t pay because you’re boondocking …that’s a boondocking is you don’t pay to be there …and there might be a lot of people around you who might get pissed off at you if you run your generator past midnight… but you can still do it… you can’t get kicked out because it’s boondocking …you don’t pay for it…
WOW!! I think she was saying something about campgrounds. But my eyes were hearing WOW! She is so gorgeous, oh and I like the shirt.
Come to NH, it’s beautiful and you’ll love it.
Love the videos! Keep up the great work and adventuring!
Two questions for you:
Have you run across any KOA’s with breed restrictions? I’ve tried to stay at KOA’s in the past that didn’t allow Dobies.
Did you run across any campgrounds that were closed seasonally? I noticed that in Eastern and central US during the winter months some campgrounds are closed.
