If you travel by RV, refilling propane is part of your everyday life. It powers your heat, your hot water, your stove burners—and maybe even your Blackstone if you’re cooking outside. But when your tank starts running low, the question becomes: where’s the best place to refill? Here’s a breakdown of the most common propane … [Read more…]
There’s always that one thing you pack before every trip. Some folks won’t fly without their lucky hoodie. Others swear by packing cubes or a silk pillowcase. For me, it’s something a little less glamorous—but a whole lot more important: a smoke and carbon monoxide detector. I know. It doesn’t exactly scream “adventure,” but it’s … [Read more…]
RV camping etiquette isn’t just about following posted rules—it’s about being a good neighbor in close quarters. Morning coffee under the awning. The crackle of a campfire at dusk. That moment when the stars finally pop through the trees and it feels like you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. But nothing ruins the magic … [Read more…]
RV prices have shot up since COVID, and buying used is one of the best ways to get into a better rig without wrecking your budget. And honestly? A lot of used RVs are barely used. Some sat in storage most of their life and still have that “new rig smell.” But here’s the thing: … [Read more…]
When most people think “truck stop,” they picture semis, long-haul drivers, and maybe a questionable hot dog spinning under heat lamps. What they don’t picture is a fenced dog park, potable water, a clean shower, and full RV hookups—sometimes all in the same place. But that’s exactly what you’ll find at many truck stops today. … [Read more…]
There’s something about a good roadside attraction. Not the Grand Canyon, not a famous landmark—just something weird enough to make you say, wait, what? and pull over. Maybe it’s a giant fiberglass prairie dog, a traffic light that’s upside down on purpose, or a drive-thru tree that is so interesting, you drive through twice. Some … [Read more…]
If the world ever decides to go full apocalypse mode (or, you know, just another epic storm or maybe even a zombie invasion), our genius plan is simple: pack up the RV, drive deep into the wilderness, and confidently announce that we’ll just “live off the land.” Truthfully, we’d probably last about three days before … [Read more…]
Working remotely from an RV is totally doable. Actually, it’s better than doable—it’s amazing. Wrapping up a call and stepping outside to a mountain view? Taking your lunch break by a lake instead of at a desk? Not being stuck in the same place every day? Yeah, it’s pretty great. But—and this is a big … [Read more…]
There’s something freeing about RV life. Everything has a place. You only bring what you need. There’s no abundance of clothes or gadgets—just the essentials, and somehow, that’s enough. Maybe even more than enough. The Shift to Minimalism Before hitting the road, I expected the downsizing to be hard. But honestly? It wasn’t. There were … [Read more…]
You’d think after all our time RVing, we’d have campsite reservations locked down. We thought we had this one locked down. I was sure of it. And yet… somehow, I got the dates wrong. So there we were, rolling into Marfa, Texas—this tiny, artsy, middle-of-nowhere town—when we realized: we don’t actually have a place to … [Read more…]
