Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here. Say
0:04
hello to my new homestead
0:08
and driving
0:22
vehicle. I bought an
0:22
RV. It's my second channel, daily vlog
0:24
channel. It's the Daily Woo.
0:28
a
0:30
2012 Thor motor
0:32
home, Ford
0:35
chassis. And the name on the side is a
0:38
familiar one. We're keeping up with the
0:40
theme here, to say the least. The name
0:43
printed on it is the
0:47
Majestic. I've always called my drone
0:49
the Majestic. So, now there's two
0:51
Majestics.
0:53
I think we need to give the RV a special
0:56
Majestic name. Hm. I got to think about
1:00
that one. But for
1:01
now, this is the bigger Majestic. I have
1:06
never owned or lived out of an RV
1:09
before. Now, I was in a band years ago,
1:13
and Justin Scard's band and I traveled
1:16
in an RV very similar to this one. And
1:19
ever since then, I've always had an
1:22
inkling, an affinity for this particular
1:25
type of model. The one we traveled in
1:29
was 5 ft longer. This is the
1:32
24footer. On July 8th, 2014, the Daily
1:36
Woo Day
1:38
737. I talked about getting a
1:42
recreational vehicle. I went back and
1:44
watched that vlog this morning and it
1:48
made me smile that even back then as I
1:51
was formulating this plan, it took all
1:56
this time to
1:58
finally get one. Most of the morning I
2:00
spent at the dealer going over the nooks
2:02
and crannies, signing the paperwork, all
2:04
that rigomearroll, and now this has
2:08
happened. And oh yes, I am excited. If
2:12
you add up everything I was spending on
2:13
hotel rooms and rental cars and flights
2:16
and those types of travel expenses and
2:19
you put it towards a payment on this, it
2:23
kind of makes sense. As of right now,
2:25
it's pretty bare bones inside. I have a
2:28
lot of ideas to customize it to my
2:32
liking, but I'll give you a firsthand
2:36
look. the new
2:39
accommodations. Back in the back is the
2:41
restroom equipped with a shower. There's
2:44
a very comfy bed here. There's a sink.
2:47
There's a microwave. There's a stove.
2:50
There's a freezer. There's a
2:51
refrigerator. There's plenty of shelves
2:54
and storage all throughout this thing.
2:57
There's a table and two benches. There's
2:59
a chair there. There's the captain's
3:02
chair, passenger's chair, and look up
3:04
here. There's even another area that you
3:07
can sleep. I have a lot of ideas about
3:09
things I want to do in here to make the
3:11
comfort level go up higher and higher
3:14
and higher. The great thing about this
3:15
is no matter where I park it, when I
3:18
look out this window or I sit outside,
3:21
that's my yard. And to make that fact
3:23
even cooler, I've had them add this
3:26
awning that stretches out into a roof
3:30
and gives yourself a little chill out
3:32
area here on the side. It's going to be
3:34
a learning experience, but how cool is
3:36
that? I can put some chairs out there,
3:38
maybe a barbecue grill, relax, do some
3:40
editing. I like it. Oh my
3:44
gosh. I think it's safe to
3:47
say. I think it's safe to say
3:55
it. Yes, it
3:55
is. Hitchcock would be proud. Here we
3:59
go. Little place called Camping World.
4:02
It's good to know places like this sell
4:04
propane because there will be many
4:06
occasions where I'm going to need
4:08
refills. I went ahead and signed up to
4:09
be a member at Good Sam Club, which
4:11
gives me discounts at campgrounds and in
4:15
stores at Camping World. And I took it a
4:18
step further and signed up for roadside
4:21
assistance for a full year. I think it's
4:24
worthwhile to do that just in case. You
4:26
never know. Night has fallen. I'm going
4:29
to the Home Depot to make some keys.
4:40
Please remove the key from the cutter
4:40
and defer it as shown.
4:43
Stopping off now at Big
4:49
Lots. Get a couple supplies. These
4:49
shopping carts have drink holders on
4:52
them. Need to get some
4:56
sheets. Couple extra pillow cases, a
4:59
couple of really good pillows, and a
5:02
couple
5:03
of normal average pillows. Got the bed
5:07
all set up. And I'm thinking about over
5:09
here where the table used to be. I
5:11
lowered the
5:12
table and it turns into a makeshift
5:15
couch. I'm thinking about putting
5:17
cushions all around the side and turning
5:20
this into basically like a big cushiony
5:23
hangout area instead of a table.
5:27
So, I got a little bit done today. I do
5:29
need to take all these stickers off, all
5:32
the rental stickers off,
5:39
however. Which is a little bit of a
5:39
pain. It's going to leave a little bit
5:41
of a mark there. I guess I'll just have
5:43
to find some sort of photo or something
5:46
to cover that patch up. This one comes
5:49
off pretty smooth. Ah, dang it. I had
5:52
the generator on for a little bit. I
5:53
just turned it off. I'm about to turn
5:55
the lights off. It is warm here in
5:58
Florida. Even though Christmas is
6:00
drawing very
6:02
nigh, it is toasty and humid and hot.
6:06
I'm not happy about it. The whole point
6:09
of having this RV is going to be to
6:11
travel to areas where I don't really
6:14
have to run the generator, don't really
6:15
have to run the air conditioner unit,
6:18
which is up here. I just want it to be
6:21
natural. Ambiotic. Is that a word?
6:25
Ambi natural ambiance of cool weather.
6:29
And I think that will happen as I depart
6:32
Florida. Which brings me to another
6:34
point.
6:35
I will be in Florida, in central
6:38
Florida, not taking the RV out of the
6:41
area until after Christmas, maybe even
6:44
drawing up to New Year's because I have
6:47
a lot of family obligations and a
6:50
holiday experiences that I will be
6:54
partaking in at my parents house and my
6:57
aunt and uncle are coming down in a
6:59
couple of days. I still have a rental
7:01
car paid for through the 29th. This RV
7:06
kind of just happened all of the sudden
7:09
and I am going to be doing a little bit
7:10
each day over the next two weeks before
7:15
my departure. So I am not leaving right
7:18
now on this eternal road trip if you
7:22
will. This will not happen until after
7:25
Christmas. So hope you enjoyed this
7:28
announcement. I know the vlog's a little
7:30
short today. It was a very busy day. A
7:33
lot happened today. My head is hurting a
7:38
little bit. I have a little bit of a
7:39
headache. This is a major major thing. I
7:42
have a lot on my mind, but I'm very
7:45
excited and very happy and very
7:48
hot. So, I'll see you guys tomorrow.
7:51
Vlog over.
