There's three channels I watch on youtube with young couples boondocking in Class A's. The biggest concern they seem to have is burning propane too quickly, followed by water. The one group gave their borrowed RV back to the manufacturer and bought a boat, the other group keeps talking about trading down to a 5th wheel, and the last couple is selling their A and bought a tiny Airstream.
Wait. You're saying that Gone With the Wynn's borrowed that rig?
Never been a fan of the Wynn's.
Don't like their presentation or their approach to things. They seem too polished, too Hollywood (I think they are actually Texans), too smiley, and too phony to me but that's just my opinion. They have had 5 vehicles over a span of 7 years.
A 2009 Avanti from 2009-2011
A 2011 Monaco Vesta from 2011-2013,
A Fleetwood Excursion from 2013-2014 (for all of 5 months)
A Fleetwood Bounder from 2015 -2016
A Sailboat from May 2016 onward.
More power to them, I say. If they can swing these deals, get companies to donate RVs and materials to them at low or no cost, and get money for people watching their videos, good for them. But I don't find their information or their presentation to be of much real or entertainment value to me.
From what I've read, it appears they had some sort of deal with Fleetwood to get use of an RV, although they had to make some lease payments (likely minimal) Here's a quote from their blog:
Disclaimer: We are not being paid to drive this test RV, nor is it given to us, we pay to lease the Bounder the same as we did for Roy. We are thankful to Fleetwood for helping to support our Resurrecting Dinosaurs series, it’s a passion project for us that we hope can benefit the entire RV industry. Transparency is always important to us, and as usual our thoughts are our own and can never be purchased!
