A few weeks ago, we were at the Trop cheering on the Tampa Bay Rays when they got the WIN! ⚾️💙

Little did we know we’d be heading to a PLAYOFF GAME tomorrow!! 😭🙌

Now we’re ready to cheer them on again and hopefully bring home another W!

LET’S GO RAYS!! 💙💛⚾️

Who else is going to the game tomorrow?! 👀

We have seen some scary weather RV stories, so this shook us a little bit.

A few minutes prior to this we saw some wild looking shelf clouds and then peaked back out and saw this cloud really start to rotate.

There was NO warnings or even watches issued for the area, but nonetheless we hopped in the truck and headed for the closest campground building just in case.

The storm was moving so fast it was gone as fast as it started.

The next morning driving into town there were downed trees, lines, traffic lights, ripped signs and debris everywhere. No confirmed tornado activity in the area by experts, but this made us think 🤔

What would you have done!?

We love seeing how many different journeys bring us all together! 🏕️

Full-time RVers…what would you add to the list!?

1️⃣ It’s not always cheaper

It’s not cheaper if you’re living like you’re on a permanent vacation… ask us how we know 😅💸

2️⃣ Your relationship will be tested

Make sure you’ve talked about the hard stuff before hitting the road and there isn’t a gray cloud hanging around. Living in a small space has a way of magnifying everything!

3️⃣ You’ll get rid of A LOT of stuff

You’ll get rid of 90% of your things, then at least another 10% of that remaining 10%. 😂 But honestly, it’s freeing!

4️⃣ Learn to troubleshoot

Derek being handy with practically everything has saved us literal thousands. Oil changes, brakes, RV bearings, small electrical issues… if he’s ever encountered a problem he couldn’t fix, he learned how to. That skill is worth its weight in gold out here!

5️⃣ It’s hard work, but worth it

Full-time RV life ain’t for the weak! Move days are exhausting, things break, tanks get smelly, maintenance never ends, and there’s a whole lot of figuring it out as you go. It’s definitely not a permanent vacation, but for us, the experiences and time together make it worth it. ❤️

I have still not recovered emotionally from this. 🥹

I have seen them perform about a half a dozen times as a teenager thanks to a JoBro obsessed friend.

Getting to watch my daughter lose it in the same way as we used to was special.

This girl loves and feels music as much as I do and it is the best feeling ever. 🤍🥹

We could have waited until the kids were older, until we had more money saved, until life slowed down, or until everything made a little more sense.

But there will always be a reason to wait.

Going full-time in an RV isn’t for everyone, and it’s not always glamorous. But for our family, taking that leap gave us something we didn’t even realize we were missing: more time together.

You don’t have to do what we did. Just don’t let waiting for the perfect time keep you from doing something you’ve always wanted to do. ❤️

What’s something you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to do?

GEORGIA | Summer Trip Breakdown Series ☀️
🇺🇸STATE 1 of 18

We are breaking down all the family-friendly stops, state-by-state, that we took along our 15-week East Coast trip!

One afternoon in Savannah with kids, and we packed in a little history, some sightseeing, and plenty of time to just let them play. 🤍

We started at Wormsloe Historic Site, took the wagon ride, made our way through Savannah’s historic streets, ate dinner on River Street watching the boats pass by, and ended at the Forsyth Park playground.

We’re sharing what we actually did in each state on our summer RV trip — including the stops we loved, the kid-friendly activities, and what we’d do again!

3 things we learned after dropping our RV off for a service assessment… and number 3 is one we REALLY should have known better. 😂

We dropped our RV off on a Friday expecting a 24–48 hour assessment and to have it back Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

Instead… we didn’t pick it up for 10 days. 😳

Here’s what we learned:

1️⃣ Don’t believe the 24–48 hour timeline.
Ask questions, get realistic expectations, and prepare for it to take longer.

2️⃣ If you’re full-time, ask about a “waiting appointment.”
We found out at pickup that you can request this, which means you don’t drop the RV off until the service department is actually ready to start. Apparently, the turnaround is typically much shorter this way. We’ll see how it goes once warranty is cleared and service actually begins. 👀

3️⃣ EMPTY. YOUR. FREEZER.
We expected the RV to be there for a couple of days, and because one of our issues involved the battery/voltage depleting rapidly and not recovering, we expected the RV to have power while it was there.

Instead, this baby sat there for almost a week before anyone even walked into it. 🫠

Our frozen veggies did NOT survive that timeline. And when we opened the RV back up… let’s just say the tanks smelled pleasant compared to what we walked into. 🤢😂

Full-time RVers: what’s something you learned the hard way after taking your RV in for service?

Save this one before your next service appointment! 🚐

Throwback to June when we thought $4.60 diesel was BAD… 😅💸

Here are the things we actually use to save at the pump for diesel AND gas…

⛽️ 7-Eleven Rewards — we stack the available rewards/discounts when we can and BIGGER savings on the 7th and 11th of the month, we have saved over a $1 per gallon before!

💳 OnePay Card — we use the fuel cash back—especially Wednesdays, fuel off to $1.20 off! WE HAVE GOTTEN $355.78 CASH BACK SINCE JUNE🤯

🚛 Open Roads — especially helpful for diesel discounts at participating stations.

📱 Upside — we check for available cash back before filling up.

🗺️ GasBuddy — our go-to for comparing prices nearby and finding cheaper fuel along our route.

⛽️ Sam’s Club — we check their fuel prices first, especially when we’re filling up the truck.

None of these are going to make diesel or gas cheap 😂 but stacking a few savings here and there can add up FAST when you’re traveling as a family.

How do you save at the pump!?
