driving vehicle shook cuckoo
1:03
december 15th of 2016 just about
1:06
three weeks past maybe a month past
1:09
the moment that i sold my van which held
1:13
a special place in my heart
1:15
so about a month or so i was flying
1:17
around the country
1:18
visiting different cities documenting
1:20
them flying i wait about every two or
1:22
three days i would fly to a different
1:24
destination i think
1:25
a lot of that is why i do not enjoy
1:27
getting on an airplane anymore because i
1:29
flew so much
1:31
in that time period i don't know what i
1:32
was thinking it was just an impulsive
1:34
like go
1:35
go go go but there was always
1:38
the bucket list thought process that i
1:41
needed to purchase
1:43
a motorhome and that's where this came
1:45
into fruition
1:50
i bought an rv i did
1:54
it's my second channel daily vlog
1:55
channel it's the
1:57
daily a 2012
2:01
thor motor home ford
2:05
chassis okay i thought i said ford motor
2:07
home but i think it's a
2:09
thor let's listen back to that it's
2:12
the daily woo a 2012
2:17
thor motorhome thor t-h-o-r
2:20
chassis ford chassis the name on the
2:23
side oh
2:24
wow this is before the large marge
2:26
license plate
2:27
front take a look down here i changed
2:30
out the cruise america
2:32
rv rentals the cruise america
2:36
rv rentals plate and i put the large
2:39
margin i believe tomorrow
2:40
the following after this after this
2:43
video is when i put
2:45
i gave it the official name large marge
2:49
oh yeah it is a familiar one
2:52
we're keeping up with the theme here oh
2:54
wow
2:56
the name printed on it is
2:59
the majestic it's a good shot i've
3:02
always called my drone the majestic so
3:04
now there's two majestics
3:06
i think we need to give the rv a
3:09
special majestic name
3:12
yes and we did and the way that
3:16
worked i i bought the rv this is in
3:18
december of that year 2016. i believe in
3:21
2016.
3:23
i did a meet up in central florida
3:27
and someone brought me a they had
3:30
they had made it created a large marge
3:33
license plate because i had hinted
3:35
at giving the motorhome that name and
3:38
because that license plate was so
3:39
fantastic and it fit perfectly on the
3:42
front
3:43
of the vehicle that's where the name
3:46
that's where the name
3:47
stemmed of course large marge pewee's
3:49
big adventure
3:51
so in this particular video i'm
3:53
referring to it as the second majestic
3:56
because
3:56
first majestic was my drone i gotta
4:00
think about that one but for now
4:02
this is the bigger majestic
4:06
i have never owned or lived out of an rv
4:10
before now i was in a band
4:12
years ago and justin scarsband and i
4:15
traveled in an rv very similar to this
4:19
one
4:20
okay that's a nice little footnote so
4:22
back in 2009 i believe it was could be
4:25
2010 2010 let's just say 2010.
4:28
i went on tour with my friend justin's
4:30
band the scard
4:31
and tnt from florida okay they're from
4:34
california we're from florida
4:35
we all packed into an rv similar to this
4:39
mine was a 24 foot the one we were in
4:41
was a 30-foot rv but that's where i got
4:43
the idea
4:44
and it was the same model i thought that
4:47
was a lot of fun back in 2010 and that
4:49
that kind of seeped into my 2016
4:53
brain function and ever since then
4:57
i've always had an inkling an affinity
5:00
for this particular type of i'm filming
5:03
on my phone that's why you can hear the
5:04
wind
5:05
the wind noise because i didn't have any
5:06
kind of i didn't kind of have any wind
5:08
buffer on july
5:10
8th 2014 the daily blue
5:13
day 737 i talked about
5:17
getting a recreational vehicle i went
5:20
back and watched that blog
5:22
this morning and it made me smile man
5:25
that is a
5:25
beautiful even back piece of machinery
5:28
formulating this
5:29
thing it took yes all this time
5:33
to finally get one most the morning i
5:36
spent at the dealer going over the nooks
5:38
and crannies signing the paperwork
5:40
here's another little another little
5:42
easter egg for you
5:43
the property i am on is a baseball field
5:47
it's a stadium osceola county stadium
5:49
look over here
5:52
you can see this is actually an
5:55
organization
5:56
that i believe is a softball
5:58
organization but the stadium is just off
6:00
to the left of it
6:02
and that where when i was gosh when i
6:04
was probably 18
6:06
or 19 maybe 20 i worked part time
6:09
for the houston astro spring training
6:13
and i met yogi bera here
6:17
i met yogi berra that kept the
6:21
hall of fame catcher
6:27
true story oh yes i am
6:27
excited if you add up everything i was
6:29
spending i was excited
6:30
and rental cars and flights i'm given
6:32
the rundown of money now
6:34
i'm given like how much they spend on
6:35
hotels versus
6:37
what i could save in the rv oh little
6:39
did i know
6:40
as of right now it's pretty bare bones
6:43
inside
6:44
so much windmills a lot of ideas to
6:46
customize it
6:47
to my liking but i'll give you a first
6:51
hand look the new accommodations
7:02
this became kind of a running gag where
7:02
i would come out of the
7:03
i would come out of the restroom set the
7:06
camera up the camera is on a little
7:07
tripod in this case i was filming on my
7:09
phone
7:10
on a little tripod and i would perch it
7:12
up on the upper bed that goes above
7:14
the the driver seat
7:18
so i would always do this thing where i
7:19
come out of the bathroom equipped
7:21
with a shower there's a very comfy bed
7:24
here
7:24
there's a seat not even any sheets on
7:26
the bed yet there's a stove
7:28
there's a freezer there's a refrigerator
7:31
there's a table
7:32
and two benches there's a chair there
7:34
there's the captain's chair
7:36
passengers chair and look up here
7:38
there's even another area
7:40
that you can sleep i had a lot of ideas
7:42
about things i want to do in here
7:44
man i had the comfort level the thoughts
7:47
were
7:47
flowing what can i do with this thing no
7:50
matter where i park it
7:51
if i look out this window or i sit
7:53
outside
7:54
that's my yard and to make that fact
7:57
even cooler
7:58
i've had them add oh here's something
8:01
that i only utilize a few times
8:03
regretfully only utilize a few times
8:05
when i purchased the rv
8:07
from cruise america was it used at about
8:11
about 80 000 miles on it i had them add
8:14
on
8:15
this little overhang this awning
8:18
that stretches out into a roof and gives
8:22
yourself
8:23
a little chill out area here on the side
8:25
it's going to be a learning experience
8:27
but how cool is that
8:28
i put some chairs out there maybe a
8:31
barbecue thrill relax do some editing
8:33
i like it oh my gosh oh could this be
8:37
i think it's safe to say i think this is
8:39
gonna be i think it's safe to say it
8:48
yes it is am i gonna say it hitchcock
8:48
would be proud here we go
8:52
little place called camping going to get
8:54
some necessities places like this self
8:56
propane because
8:57
there will be many occasions i'm going
8:59
to need refills i went ahead and signed
9:01
up to be a member of good
9:02
sam club which gives me wow i haven't
9:05
watched this
9:05
in so long i forgot i was even
9:09
signed up for the good sam club perks i
9:12
don't even know what you even got
9:13
out of that the propane thing all this
9:16
was just so
9:16
confusing to me and to be perfectly
9:19
honest i never really wrapped my head
9:21
around the concept
9:23
i always had a little level of stress
9:26
about upkeep on large march
9:30
it never really never really was
9:32
comfortable to me
9:33
just my personal opinion the discounts
9:36
at campgrounds and in stores at camping
9:40
world and
9:41
i took it a step further and signed up
9:43
for roadside assistance
9:45
for a full year i think it's worthwhile
9:47
to do that just in case you never know
9:50
night has fallen i'm going to the home
9:53
depot
9:53
and i'm going to home depot to get ah
9:55
i'm getting the keys made
9:58
you know i need to have extra keys they
10:00
only gave me the one or two sets but i
10:01
wanted to have
10:02
a couple other sets that i could put in
10:04
different places i think i had one
10:06
i don't know if i did the hide-a-key
10:08
thing i don't really remember
10:11
but i know i had some extras maybe
10:12
stashed inside
10:14
that way my my mentality was if i could
10:18
at least get in the rv if i lose my keys
10:20
if i find that key that's like inside
10:23
the living accommodations that i could
10:25
take that to at least
10:26
you know crank the vehicle up and drive
10:28
up i don't nonetheless i made a bunch of
10:30
keys
10:33
get a couple supplies these shopping
10:35
carts have drink holders
10:38
this is the big loss in saint cloud
10:40
florida i'm just seeing that
10:41
i forgot that where this is where i was
10:44
but i was in town
10:46
visiting my parents for the holidays
10:48
christmas was coming up
10:49
this is only what a couple of weeks
10:50
december 15th so
10:52
a week and a half prior to christmas
10:55
and i stayed in saint cloud florida
10:58
until
10:59
new year's eve i watched the fireworks
11:01
at magic kingdom
11:02
and then i departed on a cross-country
11:06
road trip
11:07
that next morning it's all coming back
11:08
to me now a couple of really
11:10
good feelings and a couple of stocking
11:13
up on everything
11:14
normal average got the bed all set up
11:18
and i'm thinking about over here where
11:20
the table used to be i lowered the table
11:24
and it turns into a makeshift couch i'm
11:26
thinking about putting cushions all
11:28
around the saw
11:29
i did i bought a bunch of the the type
11:31
of they're not really cushioned but they
11:33
were the
11:33
very lengthy body pillows i bought like
11:37
five of them and i just smooshed them
11:39
all around
11:40
never really use that as a table too
11:42
much i just use that
11:44
it's kind of a sitting area and i edited
11:46
a
11:47
heck of a lot of videos just kind of
11:50
laid out right there do you need to take
11:51
all these
11:52
stickers off all these bristles like i
11:54
end up ripping all this off
11:56
yep i tear this off and it ends up
11:58
tearing part of the
12:00
the layover on the check this out the
12:02
layover on the door
12:04
i guess i'll just have to find oh yeah
12:06
look at that photo or something
12:10
this one comes off pretty smooth ah look
12:12
at that dang it i had the generator on
12:14
for a little bit i just turned it off
12:16
about to turn the lights off it is warm
12:19
i'm mentioning how i want it to be
12:21
natural air i'm
12:23
big advocate for myself to open windows
12:26
and have a breeze as opposed to
12:28
air conditioner running i try not to run
12:30
the generator too
12:32
terribly much just the noise that
12:34
constant
12:36
you know humming of the generator and
12:38
then having the ac
12:39
in in that little enclosed area you know
12:42
always blowing i tried to have the
12:44
windows open so normally what i would do
12:47
is try to find a spot that had a nice
12:48
little breeze if i was going to like
12:49
boondock somewhere
12:51
didn't always work out but that's what i
12:53
tried to go for i'm just basically
12:55
giving a rundown
12:56
you know alerting everyone to what the
12:58
future plans would be
13:00
and that for the next two weeks i would
13:03
not be going anywhere
13:05
in large march i would be staying put
13:07
until after the holidays
13:08
and then it would all begin for a short
13:11
time
13:16
i still have a rental car paid for
13:16
through the 29th
13:18
this rv kind of just happened all of a
13:22
sudden
13:22
and i'm going to be doing a little bit
13:24
each day over the next
13:26
two weeks good point i said this
13:30
just happened that is the story of my
13:33
life
13:34
i i may be one of the most impulsive
13:37
humans on planet earth
13:39
when it comes to you know i could end up
13:40
having a house
13:42
renting a house selling or not selling
13:44
but you know
13:46
telling the landlord hey i'm going to be
13:47
after this lease i'm going to be leaving
13:49
and i'll just do i'll just sell my stuff
13:50
and leave
13:51
selling my van on a whim hopping on a
13:54
plane
13:54
flying cross country thinking about it
13:57
that morning and then by noon
13:59
i'm at the airport and purchasing
14:03
a very investment
14:07
that you drive around and live in all of
14:09
these
14:10
on a whim sometimes it's positive i feel
14:13
like
14:14
it has helped me out in a lot of ways
14:15
but it also can be
14:17
a big negative as shown
14:20
here this is a major major thing it is a
14:23
very big decision
14:25
i'm very excited very happy very hot
14:30
toasty in there i can tell sweating
14:41
that's it a very
14:41
compact announcement in seven minutes
14:44
and 54 seconds there that's all it took
14:48
less than eight minutes to give that
14:50
little decree
14:52
of what was happening and i did not have
14:54
the rv that long probably about a year
14:57
then i decided to move to hollywood
14:59
california amongst a lot of backlash
15:03
from my viewers which i guess is kind of
15:06
understandable
15:07
a lot of the a lot of the thoughts that
15:10
were being thrown my way
15:12
was you want this rv to travel and
15:14
you're not traveling i did it for a year
15:16
but i also on top of that also had done
15:20
van dwelling for years before that so in
15:23
my mind even though
15:25
the romanticism that some had including
15:28
myself
15:29
of being in an rv and traveling across
15:31
the country
15:32
seemed like a new thing i had been doing
15:34
it for years and years and years and
15:36
years
15:41
and i really had made a bad decision
15:41
with selling the van
15:43
it was a lot easier to you know to find
15:46
a place to park
15:47
to stay concealed to sleep inside
15:50
without anyone knowing
15:51
with your there then having the rv that
15:53
was very
15:54
very noticeable
15:58
you know it was very easy for anyone to
15:59
spot or come up and knock on the door
16:02
say hey
16:03
anyone in there or you can't be here
16:06
leave
16:07
and you know i moved so quickly i didn't
16:09
always
16:10
i wasn't always staying at a motor lodge
16:13
or a place to park the rv
16:16
i constantly was using it as a daily
16:19
vehicle driver
16:20
meaning that i was driving two and three
16:23
or more hundred days or 100 miles per
16:28
day
16:29
and having to put you know fill the tank
16:31
up every day which was 100 150
16:33
gas at that time i started to do the
16:35
math on it
16:37
and just renting a car or getting a
16:39
small vehicle
16:41
and getting better gas mileage not
16:43
stressing out about
16:45
filling the propane driving through
16:47
traffic
16:48
in a 24 foot boat
16:52
trying to find a place to park each
16:54
night it just
16:56
it just made more sense in my mind it
16:58
was a bucket list thing i wanted to do
17:01
it looked good on paper but for me
17:04
personally i know for some it works
17:06
but i am way too impulsive
17:09
and move at a fast pace constantly
17:13
on the move i want to go to the other
17:15
coast and be there in two days you can't
17:17
really
17:18
do that in an rv you have to have a slow
17:21
pace and i am not a slow paced
17:24
person so when i moved back to los
17:28
angeles i rented a spot that spot cost
17:30
me over 200
17:31
a month to park and store the rv this
17:34
went on for a few months
17:36
and then i realized this is the time
17:38
this is this is when
17:40
i need to find a buyer for this and i
17:41
sold the rv took a loss on it
17:44
but sometimes sometimes you just have to
17:47
realize that things will not work out
17:49
for you
17:50
in your situation and sometimes you have
17:53
to take a little bit of a monetary loss
17:56
to move forward and i i it was a weight
17:59
off my shoulders a breath of fresh air
18:02
let me tell you it was stressful for me
18:05
to drive that around
18:06
the country on the back roads if i
18:08
wanted to film a classic
18:10
sign or pull over on a two-lane road
18:13
there was
18:13
always someone on my tail that i had to
18:17
wave them around
18:18
come on around or if i had to do a
18:20
u-turn
18:22
it was very time-consuming and i am not
18:25
i am not a
18:26
an rv vlogger i'm not the kind of person
18:29
that's going to show
18:30
all the like knickknacks and stuff
18:32
inside the rv and how i live and how i
18:35
dump out the tank
18:36
and how i am like you know congregating
18:39
and hanging out with all those
18:42
in an rv park that's just not at this
18:43
point in my life at that point in my
18:45
life that is not something
18:46
that i was really into so there you have
18:50
it there's
18:50
there's the official rundown
18:54
of what happened to large marge the rv
18:58
thanks for watching if you enjoyed this
19:00
but this kind of this kind of took a
19:01
little weird little turn towards the end
19:03
but
