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…]
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…]
The Keweenaw is my happy place. Seriously. It’s an untouched, natural playground, a peninsula surrounded by the powerful waters of Lake Superior (Gitchigami) and packed with history, adventure, and some of the most down-to-earth people you’ll ever meet. It’s got Finnish roots, deep mining history, and more snow than you can imagine in the winter—like, … [Read more…]
We love national parks. We love U.S. public lands. Even Frank is a Bark Ranger. On our trip across the U.S., we hiked, camped, and explored so many national parks, forests, and monuments. Keweenaw National Historic Park, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Redwoods, White Sands, Carlsbad Caverns, Mount Rainier—the list … [Read more…]
The Instagram Expectation vs. The Reality Before we started RVing, we had this pipedream: we’d wake up, open our door, and step out into a private, secluded campsite on a river. Maybe there’d be a natural pool made out of rocks, crystal clear and perfect for a morning dip. Total peace, no neighbors, just nature. … [Read more…]
