Full-time RV Travel

Our path to full-time RV travel was far from straightforward. We’ve tried part-time and full-time travel with various rigs since 2012. It’s now been four years since we last lived in a house and we can’t imagine going back. Here we share a candid account of what it’s like to travel full-time.

2025: Our most ambitious year on the road yet

2

2025 was a heck of a year for us. After five years of slow-moving, full-time RV living, we picked up the pace and covered more ground than ever before. Back in March, I realized we were on track to sleep in far more places than any other year, and so I began logging every campsite out of curiosity. By December 31st, we had slept in 99 different locations in 2025. If I had to guess, I’d say that’s...

Notes from the road #19: Why we aren’t in Mexico

N

Welcome to Notes From The Road, a monthly recap of where we’ve been and what we’ve been up to over the last 30 days. This edition of Notes From The Road is coming to you from an unlikely place, given that it’s December. After spending five weeks in Arizona, yesterday we returned to Colorado. As many of you know, December is typically when we head south of the border for several months of...

Welcome to post 18 of 26 in the A to Z Guide to Full-time RV Living.Find all A-Z articles here. R is for Rules of the Road When Mark and I first got our truck camper we were as excited as we were naive.  We had no idea what it took to have a fun, safe, and successful time on the road, we simply went for it and learned along the way.  Some days would be dreamy while other days would be...

Notes from the road #18: Southbound

N

November felt like an unusually domestic month for us.  There was lots of working and cooking and going out to dinner with friends and getting cozy on the couch to watch a good show.  (What is it about the shorter, colder days that seem to grant permission for a good tv binge session?)  We savored every bit of it knowing that soon enough our wheels would be turning once again and...

Our latest book is now available for purchase

O

In 2024 we spent nearly three months exploring every corner of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula; documenting the journey in detail every day along the way. The winter long adventure proved to be as much about self-discovery as it was about the highs and lows of navigating a foreign land & culture. Along the way we unexpectedly formed a caravan with other full-time travelers who...

Notes from the road #17: slowing down

N

October was a month of slowing down for us.  After having slept in eighty different locations this year, it feels delightful to have spent the last two whole weeks lying low at our property.  We absolutely love living a life of perpetual movement but even those of us with incurable wanderlust find the need from time to time to be still.  Over the years we’ve found that taking the...

Interview: Full-time vanlife with Hayley & Joe

I

If I’ve learned one thing from spending our winters traveling around Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, it’s that we’re bound to make friends in the most random ways. Full-time travelers concentrate in Baja during the winter months; allowing us the rare opportunity to connect with our fellow nomads. This spring, on our very last day in Mexico, we met Hayley & Joe, an...

Notes from the road #16: Colorado to Utah and back again

N

Hello dear readers and welcome back to another edition of Notes From The Road.  This monthly practice of reflecting on where we’ve been over the last 30 days is a tangible reminder of just how fast time goes by.  And that sentiment feels like it’s never been truer than in September.  All of a sudden it’s fall, the temps are dropping, the leaves are turning, and the days are getting...
