I'm really excited about the RV show.
We're going to do a meet and greet Saturday and Sunday.
A lot of people have already said they are going to meet us there so I am very excited to meet some new people at the show.
Also a little bit nervous.
I have a feeling we're going to meet a lot of people at the meet and greet this weekend.
Well that's one of the reasons we love this lifestyle so much is we really enjoy meeting new people.
And we actually met some people on our way into that parking lot.
[Joe] Ok we're at the KOA.
[Kait] And our dirty windshield.
[Joe] Yep, we need to wash that thing.
[Kait] Our bug splattered windshield.
[Kait] RV Registration.
You guys hang tight.
First time at a KOA, should be fun.
Clubhouse...registration...
Ok, we're all set.
[Kait] Did we get a good spot?
Well, they are fully booked so all of the spots are pre-assigned.
It looks like we're at a good spot. We're right at the end and the woman said there is a nice little grass patch right there.
So we can face out that way and we're kind of on the edge away from everyone.
[Kait] Is it shaded?
I don't know but it looks like there are quite a few trees here.
[Kait] What do you think bud?
[Joe] He's excited.
[Kait] This place is packed.
[Kait] Oh we have shade!
Perfect.
[Kait] Are you going to back in?
Yeah, see if the cord will reach.
[Kait] Well the pedestal is on the left on this side.
Bathrooms here are really nice.
There's free breakfast in the morning.
A pool and jacuzzi that we got a key for.
And then the Fairplex RV show is right next door and there is a little path we can walk right over.
[Joe] Alright, let's put the A/C on.
[Joe] All of our sardines that we stocked up on.
A little fan to help Leo stay cool.
This works a lot better...if you put it on the outside.
Alright, now we can stay nice and cool.
After you my love. [Kait] Thank you.
[Kait] Hey Leo.
[Kait] When are we going to start our live stream?
Soon.
We have to find a good spot... [Kait] Oh look! Happier Camper is here.
[Kait] If you haven't check it out, we did a really cool walk through with Lulu.
We did. Full walk through of one of these, all the features and everything.
Check it out.
[Mark] How's it going man. Nice to meet you.
[Kait] Do you mind being in our video? Oh course not.
You guys just kind of scoping it out today?
Yeah, we just walked in.
We've had a lot of people say hello to us already. Mark, thank you for stopping us and saying hello.
[Kait] Oh, I like that display.
[Kait] That's cute.
It's so hot, look at my head.
[Kait] Oh dear!
When we come back tomorrow, I should bring a towel.
[Kait] You know what we need? What's that?
[Kait] We need that Cool Mist thing they had at Universal Studios Hollywood.
[Kait] And just have that blow the entire time.
[Kait] Oh, look at this thing. It's got the rear bath.
[Man in Background] How's it going?
Good how are you guys?
We just finished our first Facebook live, a lot of fun and if you missed it, check out this video.
[Kait] And we're live.
It's our first time being live on Facebook.
It's kind of crazy.
And we're at the RV Show, the California RV Show and...
[Kait] They made a really cool banner for us. [Joe] I know this thing is awesome.
[Kait] Come say hi, we're going to chat about van life and Joe's new book.
Yep, Take Risks.
And we've already met a lot of you at the show already so can't wait to see you guys at the meet and greet.
We're going to go around today, take a look at the rest of the show and some of that footage may or may not make it up onto YouTube.
So for any of you wondering, we have the Aktiv 2.0.
This is the 1.0 and really, the only difference is that extra foot in the back that we have.
Feel like we're right back at home.
The only difference with ours is, we don't have a microwave, we asked them to take that out.
And we have more storage in the back.
There are two cabinets here, we have three in ours.
And then there is more storage down below.
The bed is a foot wider.
[Kait] We did a full van tour, if you guys haven't checked it out you can head over to our YouTube channel.
[Kait] Where to?
I don't know.
Oh, I do want to see the E-Trek though.
[Kait] Is this all electric?
Yes.
So, induction stove...
[Kait] I'm really happy most of the RVs have their A/C on, it's really hot today. Me too!
[Kait] Is that the bathroom? The bathroom.
You know I used to thing these were really small when I first looked at them, now this feels like a luxury bath.
I have so much room in here.
Don't trip down the stairs.
[Kait] I'm going to try not to.
[Kait] Where are you headed? There's Leisure Travel.
Oh, we got stickers. If you guys come down to the show, we'll give you stickers.
Robert, wanted to let you know I finally got the book up in print version.
So for any of you who didn't want a digital version of the book, there's now a print version of Take Risks on Amazon, so check it out.
[Kait] We're live on Facebook!
Hey how's it going! The Russos are in town!
[Joe] Sir, good to see you again [Dean] Good to see you!
[Kait] How are you? I'm great, it's been a year.
[Kait] I know Welcome to Leisure Travel Vans!
[Kait] Thank you. [Joe] Anything cool this year, new?
We have a brand new twin bed model on the Ford Transit Chassis, we call it the Wonder FTB.
So it's very unique. It's a front twin bed model.
[Kait] Do you want to give us a quick tour? Sure, let's have a look at it.
So this is pretty cool, it's our newest one.
[Woman] Hi guys!
[Woman] I know who you are!
[Woman] How's your mom?
How's this for a bathroom, look at the size of this.
Thirty-five inches wide.
[Kait] How tall are you? I'm well over 6'1", 6'2" with my shoes on I can't even touch the top.
So private bathroom, private door comes across, three piece bathroom.
So we're only 24 feet, 9 inches so it's a relatively small motorhome as far as size goes but huge dry bath.
[Dean] Two burner stove.
Big, deep, stainless steel sink.
Look at this!
[Dean] Tons of storage area.
Three-way fridge, convection microwave and then look at that hanging closet.
[Kait] Oh my goodness. [Dean] It's massive.
[Kait] Joe, you could fit in there. [Joe] I could definitely fit in there.
[Dean] This table actually swivels over.
It's on a swivel base, the table.
Table top goes on top of it.
How cool is that?
[Kait] Oh nice! How nice is that?
[Dean] Of course we have the two sofas and the pull together to make into one big king bed or you can have two separate sleeping areas.
[Kait] I'm trying not to get you guys in the video. [Woman] It's ok.
[Kait] So you don't mind then. No, we don't mind.
[Joe] I like the fact that you're looking at these because of us.
How exciting, good to meet you guys here, this is cool!
I just want to show you the exterior storage, so we have storage underneath.
Truma hot water heater.
Two piece ladder.
Look at this...
Not only do you have tons of interior storage space but huge exterior storage space as well. It's hard to believe.
More storage underneath both of the twin beds on both sides.
Of course, this is the Wonder murphy bed once again on the Ford Transit Chassis.
Ready? [Kait] Yep.
Look at this.
[Joe] Awesome. [Dean] So full residential queen.
[Dean] It's residential queen so full 60x80. You can put queen sheets on it, queen comforter and you leave all the bedding on there.
[Kait] You can sit in bed and watch TV. [Joe] I love it.
[Dean] And once again it's on the new Ford Diesel chassis.
Good to see you Dean! My pleasure. Have a good show.
[Joe] Great to see you.
[Joe] Ok, where to?
Uh, lets go check out Sportsmobile.
Russos! [Kait] We're live on Facebook!
What's up! [Joe] This is your second live event. Facebook live!
How's it going? [Kait] Good, how are you!
[Kait] We want to check out this thing.
Cool, so this is our basic Metris. It's a Metris passenger van that we've put the pop-top on.
So it's more of a weekender, use it every day with all of the seating.
The seats pop out easily.
The pop-top has an upper bed for two.
The way this one sits is $49,500.
It's affordable little camper that can be pretty versatile.
So all the seats come out and you could load a bunch of stuff in there if you had to.
[Kait] Does it come with all the seats?
[Jon] It does, this is all Mercedes factory passenger van.
And then we incorporate...all the airbags are still functional,
all the air conditioning is still functional in the back. It's been crush tested and approved by Mercedes.
All the safety standards are up.
And I've got a cool one over here if you want another Metris. This one is the full Metris camper.
And this is also modular so the seats come in and out.
I'll show you a couple cabinets that remove, the rear bed removes
You could go to Home Depot and load a washer, dryer in there. [Kait laughing]
It's versatile. You can take all this stuff out. This cabinet, this cabinet all this would remove and then you have a big cargo van.
It's all due to the track system in the floor which again is all Mercedes tested/approved.
These seat fold down and then this bed will extend and then of course you have the upper bed.
And then you have, of course being the mini van everything is a bit more compact.
So you've got a little refrigerator here, 12 volt all tied into the factory Mercedes auxiliary battery.
This piece here flips over and you have a little portable stove.
And you can take it outside if you want.
[Kait] Very cool. Yeah, and your sink is here.
This piece also has a suction cup fitting so you can take it on the outside and use it as an outdoor shower.
That's pretty cool.
A little more storage around the sink and down here is the gray water tank which you can just take and remove.
[Joe] Oh, like a little cassette. A little cassette, exactly.
You can also just remove these cabinets and that rear bed and get two more seats and make this a six passenger van.
[Joe] So it's on the track system you said. Exactly, the track system is the key.
[Kait] And there's storage under the seats too?
[Jon] A little bit. There's some framing but as you guys I'm sure know you use every little inch you can find.
[laughing] [Kait] Very cool!
Yeah so these are pretty fun. We also brought three Sprinters, two with the penthouse top and one high roof with the full bathroom.
You know, more of the classic RV interior.
Then we have two classics. [Joe] Love the classics.
Yeah we've got a '66 Volkswagon and a '72 Ford.
And then we have our Ford Classic, which is actually our new model which has a fiberglass body.
[Kait] Bethany wants to know what's the lead time for a new Sportsmobile Sprinter?
A Sprinter, we're about 12-15 months.
Of course, they're all customized so it take a little bit longer.
The lead time for getting a Sprinter van is 10-12 months.
If you want four wheel drive.
Two wheel drive, it's more in the four month time frame so that can cut down lead times a little bit but you're looking at about a year.
[Kait] Do you have advice for people or things to think about if they're considering a 4x4?
Yeah, the expense isn't too much. It's $7,500 from factory on the Sprinter.
You have to ask yourself where do you want to go?
Do you ski and that sort of thing? Of course you can bring chains and deal with that but a lot of people don't want to.
It's nice having the four wheel drive and the all terrain capabilities doing dirt roads in case you encounter something.
You know it's not necessarily for a hard core off-road enthusiast.
It could just get you to the campsite you want to get to and it could be off the beaten path.
I personally couldn't do without it.
It's a little more fun. More adventourous the places you can go and we've done some stuff in Death Valley and off the beaten path and a 2wd I wouldn't trust.
A sand wash here and there and you can get into trouble.
[Kait] Thank you for the quick tour and letting us interrupt your conversation.
No, it's all good!
Enjoy the show! [Kait] Thanks Jonathan!
[Joe] Oh man, it is packed in that van.
At the Winnebago booth, FitRV.
Hi Guys! Steph and James, we finally meet them. Hello, hello!
Are you protecting the van?
Leo, I just need to close the door bud.
He can be such a stubborn Husky sometimes.
[Kait] I really enjoyed yesterday's meet and greet.
I did to. It was a lot of fun getting to meet people and for me it was really inspirational
because so many people were inspired by our videos that it was really...it was really heartfelt.
[Kait] Yeah it was nice for everyone to come out. Thank you so much.
Yes, thank you.
[Kait] Looking forward to day 2? Uh huh.
And it's a little bit cooler today so that will be good.
Leo wants to keep going.
As excited as I am for the meet and greet today, I'm more excited about the Packers game. Go Pack Go!
Kick-off is during the meet and greet.
[Joe] It will be funny if people walk over and start giving you updates on the game.
That would be kind of awesome.
Leo's private little pet walk.
I know a lot of you who are coming to the show are looking forward to meeting Leo.
It's just too hot for him.
So we're going to leave him in the van with the A/C cranked.
I think yesterday it was 95, today it's 85.
[Kait] I think it will be closer to 90. Probably.
Alright, let me get the A/C on and then we can get going.
Got my coffee!
This is my meet and greet shirt.
I love the fact that a lot of you who came by the booth yesterday
walked up to me and asked, "Joe where's you coffee?"
I reached down onto the desk and said, right here.
So the first time we came to the California RV show was in 2014. Yeah.
And that's when we were shopping for a Class A motorhome.
The one thing I notice and, holy cow, this place has gotten packed.
The line to get in is out of control. They have shuttles shuttling people from another lot.
A world of difference from when we came three years ago.
Yeah, when we came half this lot was empty, no problem parking and we came on the first weekend of the show.
It's packed already and it's not even 10:30 in the morning.
[Kait] plenty of port-a-potties.
This is the 2018 model, brand new inside, very nice.
[Kait] Look at that line.
We're in!
This way, let's look around a bit before we go to the booth.
We have some time.
[Kait] Hi! [Joe] Hello!
John and Elaine, we watch your show all the time. [Kait] Do you mind being in our video?
Yes! YouTube video all time!
[Joe] Hello, nice to meet you!
Are you guys getting a van?
Yes we are. Which one? The CS Adventurous.
Oh, very nice
[Kait] We're going to go set up, come by, say hi and grab some swag.
Nice to meet you guys.
[Kait] I love our banner!
Our banner is awesome! Big thank you to the whole Hymer/Roadtrek marketing team for putting this together for us. You guys are awesome.
I love it. We got the coozies, those are nice. But the most popular one is what Kait has on now, the Hymer glasses.
People love these things.
[Kait] We're going to Disneyland Tuesday in our van.
See all the fun places you get to go!
Good morning.
How's Leo doing outside?
He's enjoying it.
He loves hanging out outside.
I am making an Ethiopian that I picked up at Demitasse.
One of my favorite coffees.
Is that the reason we keep driving all the way back to California so you can stock up on coffee?
It really is.
And I will drive all the way back to Oregon for Thump and a few of the other coffees I had there.
Do you like my new shirt?
[Kait] I do, I'm going to have to put mine on.
Flywheel, thank you.
My voice is a little lost this morning but we really enjoyed meeting everyone and loved the stories you told as you came by.
However, tomorrow is Kait's birthday.
We're heading over to her parents house [cough] sorry...
And then we're driving over to my mother's house to drop Leo off for the day so on Tuesday we can go over to Disneyland which is where I proposed to Kait.
So I'm taking her to Disneyland for her birthday.
Off to my birthday lunch!
Kait's parents are up front right now, we're not allowed to film them.
They are here with us, do you guys want to say hi?
[Parents] Hi!
Everyone loves mom.
[Mom] I love everyone.
Hi this is Bob and this is Audrey. Hope you enjoyed this episode and if you enjoyed it click up here to watch more episodes.
And hope you're going to love it.
[Joe] Give it a thumbs up and subscribe.
And do that, give it a thumbs up and subscribe if you dig it.
[Joe] Awesome, nice meeting you guys, thank you.
Nice meeting you too, thank you.
