It’s been 5 months now that we’ve been on the road. But for the first 3 months we didn’t tow a car. Mostly because we were just hanging out in our home town area and getting used to life in an RV. We had always wanted to tow, but neither of our cars were towable, and […]

Two months ago we started out. In fact, Halloween night was our first night in our RV. We stayed at a park just outside Disneyland where we could see and hear the fireworks up close to celebrate. After two months there are a few things I’ve learned about living in an RV. The first realization […]

So we were going to go for a truck and 5th wheel combo – one that had 2 rooms with lots of slides. The main reason is that with 2 kids who often play on the floor, we felt we needed a bunk ROOM – one that had preferably two (2) slides so that there […]

After we all agreed to go, we let some time go by and kept asking every week if we were all still wanting to go. We discussed what it meant, what our options were and how crazy it would be. We began to think about all the places we’d want to see. And then of […]
