When we first hit the road, I assumed we’d need a hose. Maybe two if we wanted a backup. Something safe for drinking water and we’d be good to go. But RVs come with multiple water ports—each with its own purpose. You’ve got a city water connection for your fresh water. A separate inlet for … [Read more…]

So… yes. I lived in a tiny travel trailer during my third trimester. From July 10 through September 30, I was five to eight months pregnant, working full-time, and living in an R-Pod 192 with my husband, our dog Frank, and an increasingly large belly. Why? Our house was under construction. And I mean fully … [Read more…]
After years of nonstop work, long-haul flights, and 19-hour days, I was suddenly laid off. So we did something kind of crazy—we bought a truck and an R-Pod 192 trailer (exactly the type of purchases you should make when you’re laid off, right?). Chad was on extended time off from his airline job, and I … [Read more…]
When we first talked about doing this, my husband swore I’d hate not having a bathtub. He said I wouldn’t last a week in a tiny trailer. I reminded him I’ve always been outdoorsy—and that I’d be perfectly fine in a van down by the river, thank you very much. And here’s the thing: I … [Read more…]

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…]

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…]
