I refer to the countdown as the amount of time left before Tami and I quit our jobs and travel fulltime. The clock sits at about 18 months. The two boys will graduate from college in May 2016 and Ally will graduate high school in May 2016 too. All the kids want to take a family vacation to celebrate (their…

Christmas in a RV, No Problem.
Having Christmas in a RV certainly requires some organization and thoughtful planning. First the Christmas tree. If you have one at all then it needs to take up minimal space. we bought a stick of a tree that stood about 2 feet tall. This tree fit nicely on the booth table.

Top 5 Challenges of RV Living…so far
We are almost two weeks in, and I’m still enjoying camper life, although I am definitely having to learn to adjust and be flexible.

At this point we will move from the vacation beach house we have been renting into 400 square feet of 5th wheel luxury, I hope. We continue to have great…
Ordering Our New Home – 5th wheel – So Many Choices
We have been looking at different 5th wheel options for about 4 months. We have changed our mind on which one we like the best about a dozen times. You can only have so many set ups in 400 square feet, but some how the 5th wheel engineers manage to give enough choices in layout to make it difficult and…
