Every so often we see a rash of comments in RVing groups, blogs and forums from folks who hit the road and are now disappointed with their choice. And they almost always blame all the bloggers, vloggers and Instagrammers out there who seemingly focus on the positives and oversold the lifestyle (as if we earn a […]

Can You Stay in 55+ RV Parks if You’re Under 55?
Even us road veterans are constantly learning new things. Today, I wanted to share with you something that we were never clear on and had to dig deeper to understand. I want to be very upfront here… I’m not posting this to make an argument if this is right or wrong, or to start a political debate (and […]
Earning Our ‘Abundant Boondocking’ Merit Badge: Bus Renovation Report
We’ve been having fun this winter putting our summer renovations to the test to see how much they impact our boondocking ability. We’ve had a few requests to share about some of our renovations from a boondocking perspective. Since we’ve now done several extended dry camping stops since the summer, it seems like a good […]
You Can Climb Mountains
I don’t have a fear of heights. I have a fear of tumbling down to my doom. Ask me to join you for a hike to the top of anything resembling a mountain, and I’m likely to politely decline. It’s not the up part that scares me, it’s the coming down part. We’re currently parked […]
Nearly 5 Years of Flat Towing a MINI Cooper Behind our Motorhome
When we first started off full timing, we used a Jeep (and then eventually a truck) to pull small travel trailers. When we were settled into a camping spot the house was unhitched, and the tow vehicle became our local transportation. That lasted about four year. And then we got a motorhome, or more precisely, […]
Bus Renovations: A Cat’s Purrrfect RV Litter Box
An advantage of having a cat rule your life instead of a dog, is the we don’t use the euphemism of ‘lets go for a walk’ to really mean ‘I need to pee or poop all over things’. We cats are much more civilized. We do our business in a box full of sand and […]

This year, we stayed in 59 different locations in our RV, and several more in our months of non-RV travel. In this post, we’ll pick our 12 favorite RV camping locations from our past year’s travels. Each spot we stopped at brings back a special memory. People we were visiting or traveling with, a fabulous view, great hiking […]
The Priceless Joys of Free & Cheap RV Camping
When I decided to join Chris on the road back in 2007, I really didn’t understand this whole full time RVing thing. I was used to weekend warrior type camping in my pop-up trailer. I made a reservation at a local state park, paid a fee, showed up, had neighbors 20-30 feet away with a […]
RV Solar: Is It Worth It?
We absolutely love living in a solar powered RV. But as awesome as solar can be, it is NOT for everyone. A lot of RVers seem to think that a few hundred watts of solar will magically give them absolute electrical independence (even running air conditioners!) with an investment that will pay for itself in […]
Hot Beverages, Climate Control, Flag Pole & Toys!
Our renovation projects over the summer were pretty massive, and we shared an overview of the bigger items recently. With any renovation there usually comes some smaller changes. After all, in an RV you just don’t have room for carrying items that no longer make sense. So in this post, I’ll introduce some of the newer […]
