Marc and Tricia film RV life like a travel show: beautiful destinations, honest rig tours and practical tips, all from their 30-foot Airstream Globetrotter.

It is the channel to start with if you want to see what RV travel actually looks like.

Phil and Stacy, both Navy veterans, sold their house, left their jobs and hit the road.

Long Long Honeymoon
Hosts: Sean & Kristy · About 255K subscribers · Rig: Airstream travel trailer (checked October 3, 2026)
Sean and Kristy have been posting since 2006, which makes them one of the longest-running RV channels on YouTube. Their Airstream travel videos are fun, but the real treasure is the how-to library: towing, hitching and Airstream basics, explained clearly for new trailer owners.
What we like
- One of the deepest how-to libraries on RV YouTube
- Clear towing and hitching lessons

Mike and Jennifer Wendland are longtime RV travel writers and podcasters, and their channel feels like a friendly travel guide: destination ideas, campground finds, RV reviews and practical tips.

Best for families
Less Junk, More Journey
Hosts: Nathan, Marissa, Hensley & JJ · About 324K subscribers · Rig: Airstream (checked October 3, 2026)
Nathan and Marissa travel with their two kids and a simple idea: own less, see more. The channel mixes beautiful family travel with honest lessons, like their popular list of RVing mistakes, plus RV tours, gear and the realities of living small together. It is warm, practical and a great first watch for any family thinking about RV life.
What we like

Keep in mind

Their “we did not sell it all” video is a helpful look at keeping a home base.
What we like
- Smart storage and packing ideas
- Setup mistakes explained before you make them
- A cheerful, family-friendly tone

Best for DIY maintenance
RVgeeks
Hosts: Peter Knize & John Sullivan · About 201K subscribers · Rig: 19-foot travel trailer (downsized from a 43-foot motorhome) (checked October 3, 2026)
Peter and John have been full-time RVers for more than 20 years, and their channel is the go-to library for doing your own RV maintenance. Short, calm, clearly filmed videos show you how to check tire pressure, service a generator, prevent slide-out leaks and much more. After years in a 43-foot diesel pusher, they recently downsized to a 19-foot travel trailer, so newer videos cover towing too. They also co-host the TV series The RVers.
What we like
- Clear, step-by-step maintenance tutorials
- Decades of real full-time experience
- Short videos that get straight to the fix
Keep in mind
- Older videos are motorhome-focused, though most tips apply to any rig
Best for: Owners who want to handle their own maintenance
Best for Class A owners
Endless RVing
Hosts: Izzy, MJ & Jason · About 176K subscribers · Rig: Newmar Class A diesel pusher (checked October 3, 2026)
Izzy, MJ and Jason travel in a Newmar Class A and share a little of everything: maintenance and upgrades, RV show walkthroughs, model reviews and travel. They post often, and their big RV show tours are a fun way to compare dozens of rigs without the crowds.
What we like
- Frequent new videos
- RV show tours that compare lots of models
- Hands-on Class A maintenance
Keep in mind
- Review-heavy; mostly motorhomes
Best for: Class A owners and motorhome shoppers
Best for mods & gadgets
Love Your RV & Boat!
Hosts: Ray, with his wife Anne · About 95K subscribers · Rig: Keystone Cougar fifth wheel (checked October 3, 2026)
Ray is a tinkerer, and his channel is full of affordable mods, boondocking upgrades and gadget tests, often with clear install steps. The channel name now includes “Boat” because Ray and Anne spend summers on the water, but the RV library is still one of the best places to find upgrade ideas.
What we like
- Affordable, practical upgrade ideas
- Honest gadget testing
- Good boondocking power and water mods
Keep in mind
- Newer videos mix in boating content
Best for: Owners who love upgrades and gadgets
Best for small RVs & healthy travel
The Fit RV

James and Stef combine RV life with staying active. They travel in a Winnebago EKKO and cover upgrades, maintenance and gear for small motorhomes, along with hiking, workouts and healthy habits on the road. A great pick if you want adventure-ready travel in a compact rig.
What we like
- Practical upgrades for compact motorhomes
- Fitness and outdoor ideas you can do anywhere
- Upbeat, adventurous style
Keep in mind
- EKKO-specific details may not apply to your rig

Best for RV shopping
Matt’s RV Reviews
Hosts: Matt · About 284K subscribers · Rig: Reviews every type (checked October 3, 2026)
With more than 2,600 videos, Matt has probably walked through the floor plan you are considering. His enthusiastic tours point out features, storage and layout details for travel trailers, fifth wheels and motorhomes, and a second channel, Matt’s RV Reviews Towables, focuses on trailers. Good to know: Matt works with RV dealers and sells his own RV products, so pair his tours with an independent inspection.
What we like
- A huge library of model walkthroughs
- Covers every RV type and price range
- Easy way to shortlist floor plans from home
Keep in mind
- Works with dealers, so tours lean positive
Best for: Shoppers comparing floor plans
Best consumer advocate
Liz Amazing
Hosts: Liz · About 237K subscribers (checked October 3, 2026)
Liz describes her channel as consumer advocacy that covers “the good and the bad” of the RV industry. She shares owners’ stories about quality problems, warranties and lemon cases, and explains what buyers can do to protect themselves. New videos post on Fridays. It is not always comfortable viewing, and that is exactly why it is worth watching before you buy.
What we like
- Honest look at RV quality and warranty issues
- Practical advice for protecting yourself as a buyer
- Regular Friday uploads
Keep in mind
- Critical of the industry by design; balance it with other channels

RV Inspection And Care

Duane looks at RVs the way an inspector does: roofs, seals, frames, water damage and the hidden problems that cost the most to fix. His videos explain what to check, how to find a good inspector and how to care for your rig so small issues stay small. A smart watch before you hand over a deposit.
What we like
- Shows what problems look like up close
- Explains how to choose an RV inspector
- Very active, with frequent uploads
Keep in mind
- Smaller channel with a simpler production style
Best for: Anyone buying a new or used RV

Best for budget nomads
CheapRVliving
Hosts: Bob Wells and team · About 860K subscribers · Rig: Vans, RVs and cars (checked October 3, 2026)
Bob Wells has been helping people live on the road for decades, and his channel is the biggest on our list. It focuses on living well on a small budget in a van, RV or even a car: boondocking, staying safe, solar power and building community. Many videos are gentle interviews with nomads sharing how they made it work. Bob also appeared as himself in the film Nomadland.
What we like
- The largest audience of any channel here
- Realistic advice for living on a tight budget
- Kind, welcoming community feel
Keep in mind
- More van life than traditional RVs
Best for: Budget travelers and anyone downsizing to the road
Best for boondocking
Mortons on the Move
Hosts: Tom & Cait Morton · About 140K subscribers · Rig: Truck camper (started in a fifth wheel) (checked October 3, 2026)
Tom and Cait are known for boondocking, working remotely and exploring public lands. They started in a fifth wheel and now travel in a truck camper, so their videos cover off-grid power, finding free campsites and getting farther off the beaten path. Like RVgeeks, they co-host the TV series The RVers.
What we like
- Thoughtful boondocking and public-lands advice
- Remote-work tips from experience

Kyle and Olivia prove you do not need a big rig to live the dream. They travel in a 16-foot fiberglass camper and share boondocking spots, free camping tips, small-space hacks and laid-back travel vlogs. Their easygoing style makes it fun to watch even if you never downsize this far.
What we like
- Real-world tips for very small campers
- Free-camping and boondocking how-tos
- Relaxed, feel-good travel vlogs
Keep in mind
- Posting schedule varies; check the channel for the latest

No signal? No problem
How to watch YouTube on the road
Cell service fades fast in national parks and on back roads. Set these up once and your favorite channels are ready wherever you park.
1 Tip 1: Download
Save videos for offline
A YouTube Premium membership lets you download videos in the YouTube app and watch them with no signal at all. Queue up a few episodes before you head into the backcountry.
2 Tip 2: Save data
Turn on Data saver
Video uses far more data than music or podcasts. In the YouTube app’s settings, set video quality on mobile networks to Data saver so a long drive does not eat your plan.
3 Tip 3: Big screen
Watch on the RV TV
On campground Wi-Fi or a hotspot, cast from your phone to a smart TV or streaming stick, or open the YouTube app on the TV itself. Great for planning tomorrow’s route together.
Campground Wi-Fi tip
Shared campground Wi-Fi slows down in the evening when everyone is streaming. Download tomorrow’s videos early in the morning or midday, when fewer people are online. Prefer to listen while you drive? Try our favorite RV podcasts.

HappilyEverHanks
Hosts: Kyle & Renee Hanks · About 388K subscribers (checked October 3, 2026)
Kyle and Renee Hanks built one of the best-known full-time RV channels, and their RV tips and tours are still on YouTube. Their newer videos follow a different adventure: turning a 20-acre abandoned compound into a homestead. Worth a follow if you enjoy their story, but no longer an RV channel first.
What we like

- An inspiring next chapter to follow
Keep in mind
