Heading to Tennessee | HER Thoughts of Van Life | How We Plan Our Trips
(EPISODE 263)
ℹ️ About this episode:
On this episode of LivinRvision, we (Brian and Michelle) are making our way to Tennessee! Our first overnight stay is in Caruthersville, MO at Century Casino where we stay at the casino RV park. This place was a very nice RV park with FREE laundry and pool table as well as individual complete bathrooms with shower stalls!
Before we leave this casino RV park, Michelle talks a little about how the van life has been working out for HER while I (Brian) finish the laundry. Then we make our way to Tennessee, stop at a Buc-ees and see some good friends before making our way to the Frothy Monkey in Franklin, TN. Then we continue our journey to our final destination that we share next week, so be sure to catch that exciting episode!
We hope you enjoy!

No way with that life
What’s you end plan ?
" Who you spankin" OMG I couldn't stop laughing!! And Michelle's Buc-ees excitement. Lol you guys are so darn cute❤
You making your way south? I'm at TT Peace River until the 16th then heading back to Lake magic. Drop me a text when you have a second.😃
Great video! We enjoyed more candid comments about van life, with humor thrown in for good measure! Including “ret’ to go”, the closing song and the Asheville sign on I-40 made our day! We live about 80 miles south! Thanks for sharing!
You need to Visit Southern Utah. And see our Beautiful National Parks .🍁
Did you notice the wage scales and bennies on that bucees sign? Wow! Not bad
Now you really do “live in a van right by the river “
Smoking. 🤢Meals with smoking … 🤮We can't fit D in the Grech toilet/shower, Galleria fits him… thinking downsize but really downsizing a lot to do it…. 2 more years until retirement… Might trade this View. 😂
Was wondering if you would stop in Mansfield to see Laura Ingalls Wilder's old homestead – if you haven't seen it yet you should next time going through Missouri. Very neat place! Safe travels to you two!
I have the same reaction to Bud-cees 😂
What do you both do for work?
Oh man, I love the Buc-ees intro!! LOL. Put buc-ees in your phone maps and see what it says… she says it just like Michelle, well not exactly, but close 😂😂. When did you go through Tennessee?? I forgot to ask…. Did you decorate with the bat and ghost at Halloween?!? 😂😂 safe travels!
I bought box DEF at Costco before, but after seeing the price at the pumps, never again
Franklin TN is an expensive place. Nolensville is very nice too $$$$ ! Daughter lives in TN … A beautiful state
Yeah you guys are 'hitting it outta the park' w/ entertaining, solid, BANGIN' content — keep it comin'! 💯 (Note: see additional comment on "How We Got Starlink Internet" — may be a great future opportunity we can discuss after gettin' a 2'25 Terreno-Ion Tour [on 2'24 170 Std M-B chassis] after the New Year). 🎉👍🏽👊🏽 🤜🏽🤛🏽
too funny at 20:33 stay safe and blessed and another great video
I just love Michelle! ❤. She is quiet and then all of a sudden…….. she has something to say! Her yelling Buc-ee’s made me giggle! 🤣🤣🤣
Bacon anyone? 😂🤣😂Response = That’s sick! 😂😂
Hey! Great meeting you on the Princess Caribbean! Hope you had a great time!
I was very interested to hear M's take on van life. An honest assessment. We have been full-time in our Super C for over 2 years. I know a van wouldn't work for us logistically. But, I also remember what you said when you fist left your class A, and expressed your anxiety over dealing with slides and other 'facts' of bigger RVs (parking, maneuvering, etc). For us, those are not drawbacks. So, again, an interesting look at why RVing is different things to different people. Enjoy. Be safe. God bless.
Your music choices are wonderful!! Such a great job on your videos too! Thanks for opening your life to us all! ox
Do you really find that you stop and pull over to see things you wouldn’t if you were in a larger less nimble RV? Do you think you will purchase a larger RV again one day?
Love me some Buc-ees …
I enjoy your videos about daily van life as much as the touristy content. Really enlightening. Safe travels!
Ha! Buccee Buccee. You two are a fun couple.
Made to my neck of the woods 😊
You too just crack me up😂. We love Bucee’s and I’m the planner and love Trip Wizard. In fact, I was on it as I watched this video😁. I also have my Notes up because you have so many great places that you visit that we may want to check out when in that area. Thanks for great videos😁✌🏼🙏🏼
Another awesome video! 👍🫶🫶👍Thanks for sharing all your adventures! 🙏🙏🤗🤗
I really liked when y"all started dancing to the music while driving. I saw a couple of birds still in love y"all! Cheers! 😀
To conserve water in the shower, squeeze as much shampoo suds from your hair as possible and then put on conditioner. The conditioner helps cut the soap suds and you only have to rinse hair once.
Oh my gosh! I live down the street from frothy monkey in Franklin! I wish I could’ve met you both.
Michelle seems kind of down lately. Is everything OK? Enjoy your videos so much.
Love your videos Brian and Michelle; great content and editing. My husband and I own a Class B, yes the bathroom is small but it gets the job done. We vacation for 1 to 2 weeks at a time so I can forgo a long hot shower by doing a Navy shower in our van. My solution for washing my hair and saving water is to use a shampoo with conditioner combo, both in same bottle. Works well enough for my shoulder length hair. We also use a low sudsing body wash, Dr Bronners, to shower, wash hands and wash dishes. It rinses easily and I use less water, which is necessary if we boon dock or dry camp. Looking forward to your next adventure.
While we love your videos, my wife isn't thrilled as I go from your video to the Leisure Travel Van site, would love a unity rear lounge! While I don't think it is, it looks bigger than yours with its seperate work and play areas. But damn like everything they are expensive. Keep up the good work!
Buc-ee’s is the place.
Always a great video and you guys always make my heart smile. I have to ask… with van life don’t you travel way more on the road then in a TT? Can you actual do a van life and stay longer at your destinations?
Do you guys share in the driving or no?
I know it was a week or 2 ago that y'all were in Caruthersville, MO but welcome to Missouri. I actually live about an hour away but y'all were about 2 to 3 blocks from my daughter's house. Hope you enjoyed your visit and y'all have a blessed day and safe travels
Saw you guys on the Caribbean Princess this past week. I wanted to say hi but did not want to intrude on your vacation. Love your content hope you're dropping some videos on the cruise, love to see what you think on the cruise.
This is a fantastic (vantastic 😁) video! I loved hearing Michelle's thoughts. I also have the same reaction to Buc – ee's! I love the beaver nuggets, they are super sweet. I'm glad you got to see your friends.
I am glad that you are embracing the van life Michelle but I bet it was a huge adjustment. We travelled full time in a class C for 3 years and I found it too confining. Now we have a home base and plan to do 6 months in each. Best of both worlds! Stay safe, happy and keep the videos coming. ❤
