When we were preparing to hit the road, we knew we needed WAY less stuff. We got rid of almost everything and embraced a minimalist lifestyle, which has been great for RV life. Some of our ideas about what RV life would look like have ended up being different than the reality. So, what things… Read More RV Stuff We Really Needed: Decor & Chores

When we were preparing to hit the road, we knew we needed WAY less stuff. We got rid of almost everything and embraced a minimalist lifestyle, which has been great for RV life. However, we needed some things. After all, we still wear clothes, cook food, take care of our dog, and so on and so… Read More RV Stuff We Really Needed: The Kitchen
We talk a lot about boondocking, or “dry camping.” We love it, but it isn’t the norm for RV full-timers and it certainly takes a lot of work! We figured we’d give the “crash course” in boondocking for those who want to know more about what exactly it entails. First, recognize that boondocking is not… Read More Boondocking 101
As of today (August 18th) we have officially been on the road for 3 months! It is crazy to say that, because it feels like SO much longer. We have seen and learned so much already.

At any rate, when we say, “we are relocating to [place] tomorrow,” this is what moving day actually involves. Usually… Read More Moving Every Week, Part 2

We wanted to take our time and check out some of the towns and minimize our… Read More Moving Every Week, Part 1

Start talking about packages though and that’s a whole other ball game that… Read More RV Mail Forwarding Services
We are learning a lot as we go along. Some things we are just getting better at with practice (like packing up), and some things we are learning the hard way! In addition to our first time dumping tanks, forgetting to refill water and having to do it with a big jug and a funnel,… Read More Lots of Firsts
I wanted to add up all of our costs to hit the road to see what the damage was now that we can look back. At the same time, we happen to have a whole bunch of pictures from around Cotopaxi and Salida, Colorado, so I threw a bunch of them in, enjoy! Below are… Read More How much did it cost to set off?
