Nate Ritter and his partner bought one of only two $100,000 truck-and-trailer RV combos available in the US, picking it up in Oceanside after the previous owners had it for 7-8 months. They walk through setup basics like shore power and auto-leveling, and plan family trips with their child Everly across the country.

What are we on our way to go do right now, babe?
Picking up $100,000 worth of equipment.
And what is that equipment for?
RVing our life away.
Then what did we do?
We bought a truck and a trailer. We're gonna haul around the country, hopefully up to Canada too.
Um, we are on our way right now up to Oceanside. There's only 2 of these trailers available in the States right now. We're headed up to Oceanside to go pick it up from a guy named Steve, a lovely family that's only had it for about 7 or 8 months. We are buying their truck and their trailer, so everything is already ready and calibrated and goes together. You guys ready for our new adventure?
Yeah!
There's our new truck and trailer! It's washed and shiny! Oh my goodness! What do you think? Here we go.
Fun here because we're on a slope. I'll put in, uh, my X-chocks on the tires before I open up the fifth wheels. Heaven forbid it starts to roll backwards and kind of skid on these things. Yeah, so I'll show you how to do it. Okay, as we start to level, it lifts the whole thing off the ground and the wheels will actually separate. And you'll find both of these are loose by the end of the auto level process.
Okay, so okay, let's get to it, Nate. What are you doing?
I'm learning, trying to stay inquisitive, not pretend like I know what I'm doing, 'cause I certainly don't. So I recommend that we use this real quick. That's great, cuz I wanted to see how this works. Put it under actual shore power and then we'll auto-level. Perfect.
I'll grab the power Roll it to the back. He wants you to roll that to the back. This is the vacation time, babe.
I've never done the winterize or the sanitize.
Okay, Nate hopes to never do winterize. Yeah, so we'll probably not do that.
When you start camping again, I I recommend that you remove these 3 screws and kind of monitor the back of the panel like we did last time under pressure. I don't think we did that with you last time. Yeah, we did. Did we? I had this whole thing off. Oh, we had the flashlight. I was showing you where I had the drip before. This is why this— we have things underneath. Yeah, and then I had the drip. There we go. Yep, got it. Just open this up under, underwater pressure moving around about an hour or so later, I'd come down— inspect behind this panel and make sure.
Okay, we are pulling out for the first time. I think it'll fit.
Look at you!
Here we go.
What are you—
what are you guys looking forward to with having that? Bunk bed. We can hear Everly no matter where she is, so we won't lose her. We won't lose her in this giant house. Yeah, um, yeah, I think— all the adventures, riding your bike, yeah, in the woods, swimming, fishing, hiking, waterfalls. Your Adventure Binkins on page 34.
