Downsizing From A 5th Wheel RV To A Class C Motorhome For A Road Trip



We are moving out of our 40-foot fifth wheel and into a 24-foot class c motorhome. This is how our family of four packs for a road trip in a small RV.

  1. Loved this! We launch June 1 in our 23 ft travel trailer, so very similar in size! I was wondering if you have a link for your Turkish towels? Those are on my list, but looking on Amazon I see lots of options. Would love to find some that are tried and true.

  2. My wife calls me the packing Jenga master when we pack to vacation. Sounds like Nathan is the same!

  3. Thanks for the video. We just bought a 2019 Minnie Winnie and we have already done a couple of short trips to figure out what we needed to change. I was able to use storage containers for the cabinets above the dinnet and below the sink. We don't have a large trash can. The storage above the back bed is extra bedding. We don't use the bed above the cab so more storage. The storage below the front seat of the dinette is extra water, and soda and canned goods. Our big reno was the shower doors, we took them out and added a curved shower rod and a shower curtain. My walk-through tour is scheduled for May 17 and other renos and tours on Tuesdays after that date.

  4. We were thinking about doing this exact thing next summer!! Either going to buy or rent a clas C for a 2 week trip to Utah, Colorado and Arizona 🤞🏼 can't wait to see your journey 🙂

  5. Looking at your tee shirt logo…I kept thinking, "Lebron James is less than Michael Jordan" ??? About half way through, I realized…Oh, "Less Junk, More Journey". 🙂 Happy Trails and safe travels. Hope you like it out here in California.

  6. We are doing the opposite of you lol … We are moving from a Class C (25) to a Class A and I am so excited !!! We had to empty the old one and everything is in the house and I plan to go through everything before putting it in the new rv !!So will have the opposite problem of you lol probably too much space !!The class A is about 30 ft . I am learning so much through you guys thou !!I am going to search and see if you guys have a video of where you go from smaller to bigger .

  7. We’ve been traveling in our 32 foot Minnie Winnie for 5 months now. Still learning from you! The manuals are going under the bench for one thing! Safe travels.

  8. An immersion blender would have been better. Take a look. They are super powerful and really easy to clean.

  9. I think you've got this! If you remember the brand of the Turkish towels you use, I'd love to know! Been searching for a while!

  10. I watched your Grand Design video. Beautiful. My question is I have a KZ Durango with the same refrigerator abd my fridge went out and cannot be fixed and it also cannot be taken out of here. Nobody can figure out how to get it out after dismantling …if something happens to your refrigerator is there a way to get it out the front door or any window anywhere? As we figure this out I’m using a mini fridge for a year now…

  11. I’m so excited to go with you on this trip. I love organizing things. And I think I would love this part of RVng. But I live with a pack rat so that would be hard!! So proud of what you did! How do you make your smoothies? Please show us!

  12. Great video Nathan and Marissa! You did really well packing up for a trip. Great idea for Tupperware containers for storage. You are all set to go for sure. Marissa I hope I hope you had a great Mother’s Day with your kids and your mom. Have a great week and safe travels. See you soon! Have fun traveling.

  13. Awesome Job, I so want a class C, my parents had one 4 kids camped I think 3 of us slept on the table bed mom s as me dad had the loft area with the baby . But it was For camping for about 2 weeks. not living in it. It seemed big for a 10 year old..

  14. Are you guys going to sale Your fifth wheel? It’s great seeing you guys again I love watching your videos.

  15. Is that a new shirt, Nathan? Tania and I loved this episode, we really could relate to y'all. Tania always said I have a Lego mind when it comes to packing things in. And when Marissa said "I'm a work in progress." Tania laughed so hard, because she can relate to your conversation. Love you guys.

  16. When Nathan was saying 80% is full and something comes in, something must go, I was shouting yes!!! It has taken years for me to get that across to my husband! He is one of those people who doesn’t want to get rid of anything and I am just the opposite. My two favorite words are “chunk it”!

  17. I am from California, if you are going to go to Yosemite, you need to visit two little towns. Murphy and Sonora. They are great Gold Rush towns.

  18. Good downsizing info. Thanks. I took notes to help me with my journeys. The ziploc containers are a great idea for anyone anywhere. I just did that with a box of cereal. and it looked so much neater. Containers makes since not just for organizing, but also for keeping creepy crawlies out.

  19. Wish you would have left your playlists grouped as states instead of the new "seasons". We've been watching you since the beginning and it was nice to be able to jump to a city or state you previously traveled for tips and POI to see. Hard to find anything now with the "seasons"

  20. Love my Vitamix!! I will take it camping!! Smoothies, sauces, soups, Margaritas!!! Yum! I use those storage containers a lot. I couldn’t find them at Walmart for awhile so had to spend more on Amazon. Now they’re back in the stores!!

  21. The minimalist lifestyle is just that…a lifestyle. It is not a one time purge and done. There will always be times of going through, purging and working it just gets easier as you go. I think all of us are works in progress, Marissa (just not everybody admits it) 😁♥️

  22. Two phrases I loved your use of….."cavernous" and then the most accurate statement I've ever heard when describing any situation in RVing…..you said "there is no magically". Indeed there is not….safe travels y'all….I love the videos and the journeys you bring us on. And my favorite thing…your channel name. That's a simple phrase I'm going to drill into our kids heads so that they aren't tied down by "stuff"

  23. I'd be lost without my vitamix and Nina foodi lol Like I'd take the oven out to have those 2 things. lol

  24. You do realize, there's a gross vehicle weight rating. Most people overload their class C's. "Less Junk, More Journey".
