Yes we are fine and we have repair people lined up. Our down the street neighbor also got hit. Nine fire trucks responded to their house. No human or pet were injured.

I was just thinking...they've broken the leases early on this house AND the Portland apartment—just within a year. And not for any reason other than wanting to move. Doesn't that hurt their renting history and ability to rent future places?

This RV trip totally gives them an excuse to not buy a house this summer, but it's going to probably put them further into a hole. My guess is they wanted to ditch the house buying because they have terrible credit and no money to actually buy a house.

They really are playing pretend.

Didn't they start their lease in August or September anyway? They really could have waited to break the lease and taken their time packing up, but they always rush into everything and then scramble to make sure plans fall into place.

We broke our lease earlier this year after living in our apartment for almost four years. We found the perfect house (to buy) and couldn't resist. It cost $2000 to break the lease. We really thought a lot before doing it. It's not cheap to get out of a lease early.

Same issue when I bought my house, and I hated "wasting" that money. They don't HAVE to move right now, just like they didn't HAVE to move to SoCal when they did. They blow so much money on moving for no reason. I'd feel so guilty about that. But they also maxed-out their CCs to go to Europe to get engaged.

They are really stupid when it comes to money.

So now they’re doing an ad (probably a vlog also) for that Lynq device that the Lannings did last week. How are they going to keep these sponsors with all the travel? I’m sure they haven’t thought it through. Just so desperate.

Yes, thanks for asking, appliances can be fixed. I should have thanked a previous poster for asking as well. People on here have genuine empathy, and we are called the haters.

While they claim they were pre-approved for a home loan, their interest rate was probably very high and I doubt they were approved for a large loan. The one house they showed was I think less than $200k, sat on the market for one weekend before it was under contract, and there didn't appear to be any similar properties at that price range in the neighborhood. While I think Kelsey wanted a "project" I think they realized they couldn't afford anything that met Corbin's expectations. I love watching home improvement projects, but these two have no desire to learn how to do much of anything, let alone take on a home renovation. I think that was one idea to grow their numbers that they put on the back order in favor of a second roadtrip.

Their channel is dropping off the map now that they're no longer friends with the Lannings and they're just filming themselves sitting at home every day. This is clearly a grab for more views. I wonder if their existing viewers have whiplash after going from "We're planning to move close to family, put down roots, and have a second baby" to "A house just isn't for us, we're moving into an RV and doing another road trip." I guess it keeps people guessing, but it also gives the impression that they have no idea what they're doing, or they're not being truthful. If they just said they wanted to do another road trip before buying and before having another baby, that's one thing. But to go on and on about how a "four bedroom house" is just not for them and it was never authentic to who they are seems disingenuous. They clearly want to both ways, but they can't afford it.

This Video today is a taste of what a disaster this trip is going to be.

They bought cheap snorkel equipment. No idea how use it. Ended up loosing it. Corbin “I don’t know if this is scuba certified “

Didn’t checkout the conditions, there has been a huge swell from a hurricane that’s generating it. Not calm at all.

Pools were not accessible even had a life guard keeping people away. Why they would think that they could take June through a cave that could be closed off at high tide is one off the dumbest things these two have done.

Not sure I even believe the $100 bill story.

So they say the want to get scuba certified so on this trip the can do it. Where?

They said they really don’t have a plan and probably won’t. They want to take their time. I don’t think they’ve really thought about this. Having an RV is different. You can’t just pull into any old place and stay for free. Unless it’s Walmart for a night. Rev spots are more expensive.

I was wondering about the music he used. In Casey neistats videos he always puts the artist at the end so does their friend Simon. Since I watch on hooktube.com i didn’t see any acknowledgment of the artist. If it’s not free, that could be a problem.

One last thing... I think Corbin is actually trying to piss the Lannings off. Today’s title “abandon “; the Lync sponsorship and hanging out with Slyfox. Just seems too contrived.

I don't believe he found $100 dollars for a minute. Scuba gear lost for 10 minutes is gone but $100 lost God knows when just remains. Sorry but no.

How are they buying an RV. Who will watch June when they're in a state where they know zero people. When June gets sick how do they plan to afford taking her to random doctors they know nothing about when they were so into knowing the doctors etc.

They haven't thought this out at all. They haven't put June's needs into consideration. Corbin is a moron for this. Just get a real job ya lazy fuck.

They certainly aren't buying an RV. It's totally some sort of brand deal. At least I HOPE they aren't buying an RV...that would be insanely stupid.

Anyway...how the heck did those two idiots manage to lose so much gear??? They'd really never snorkeled before? Finding the $$$ was 100% staged.

Who was that random woman with them?

Weird how Corbin said "everyone in the comments" was supportive of the RV trip. Hmmmmmm, I saw at least 10 yesterday telling them it was a terrible idea. I guess he deleted those. LOL

An RV costs about .40 a mile to drive. It’s not going to save them much money by the time they pay for fuel, maintenance, etc.

They can park in rest areas and truck stops for free but truck drivers REALLY dislike rvs taking these free spots because they are on time restrictions and there’s not always a lot of parking available to them.

I really want to know what is causing them to be in such a rush to move. I wonder if they can’t afford it OR are being evicted.

The rush all the sudden though is curious. They were all into a home so much they looked and got approved for a loan. Corbin probably threw such a tantrum about moving back to Idaho they found this opportunity

I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case. Corbin is probably trying to delay moving back to Idaho as long as possible.

I'm guessing the rush is because the RV company they are working with wants vlogs during the summer to promote others to rent their RVs for summer trips. Corbin and Kelsey's audience isn't retirees who can RV year-round, so to get those families out RVing they have to promote them in the summer when school is out.

Oops, my post above should say “backburner” not back order. Typing on my phone.

I believe they moved into the house in September, so if they plan to be out by the end of July that means that they would have only lived in the CA house for 10 months. My parents used to have properties that they rented out, and if you’re a small landlord often times it’s not worth the legal expense to enforce a lease when the renters want out early. Usually you just keep the security deposit. Now, that was probably at least a months’ rent or more for a house. So I think they’re probably losing that deposit in order to break the lease early. I hope Missy didn’t give them the security deposit thinking she would get that money back at the end of the lease.

Short of bringing along a full-time nanny, I don’t see how they’re going to get scuba certified and dive on this road trip while they have a one-year-old in their care. They if they being pregnant on the road was bad, they are in for yet another rude awakening when they experience an active, curious one year old in an RV. Not to mention all of the out of network ER and urgent care visits they're going to pay for every time she gets a fever or has an infection. Today’s footage was ridiculous- murky water and the camera flailing about because Kelsey and Corbin didn’t have any scuba equipment left. I agree with the previous poster who said they decided to start a family way too early based on their maturity level. Unfortunately, those are always the people who lack the self-awareness to realize they're not ready for that commitment and that lifestyle change.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out, I think it will be readily apparent whether it’s sponsored or not once we see their first video. If you’re serious about buying a first house, you typically do not have a bunch of disposable income lying around to spend on an expensive RV rental or purchase. You’re saving for a down payment, closing costs, renovations and improvements you want to make, etc.

Someone left this comment and they "liked" it: " Wait? So are you looking for a house or planning to travel in an RV? Cuz that's a big purchase to do before a house purchase. Unless you plan to just keep RV (make payments) and buy a house with RV parking (or storage) then you can be settled and still have your RV to travel. The best of both worlds." They could just be liking the sentiment and it's a fantasy of theirs,or I wonder if they're planning on taking that "down payment money" that was going to go towards a house and taking out a loan on a used RV instead. That would be a significantly smaller down payment compared to a $200,000 home, but probably not a great investment considering that automobiles continue to depreciate in value, unlike real estate.
