I found myself so restless last week. Things were just starting to warm up but weren’t really comfortable yet. I started daydreaming about vacations instead of grading papers. Next thing you know, I’m on Google Maps, have my iCal opened, and I’m making plans!
So we now have spring break, summer, and Christmas all planned out [...]
I’ve spent a lot of time in the blog describing the hardships we’ve faced thus far and much less time talking about the upsides to RV living. For the sake of brightening up a dreary winter day and to keep from scaring off those of you who might be thinking about fulltiming, here’s a [...]
Often folks want to know how much it costs to live in an RV. Well, I have to preface this by saying that the way we fulltime is not the way most people fulltime. Instead of living on the road, we are parked most of the year. We both still have our day jobs and [...]

I’m a bit frustrated right now, and I’m finding it difficult to resolve said frustrations. Here’s a list of things that are bugging me about my RV life:
1) It’s been raining off and on for nearly two months now. The ground never gets a chance to dry out. This is a problem [...]
First snow of the season today, but it was mostly slush. As a result, the ground around my camper is nothing but mud. I went and bought a bale of straw and scattered it on outside my door so I wouldn’t track mud inside the house. I also bought some salt and put it down [...]
