RV Life Season 4

Where do we go from here?

By January 21, most of the US was experiencing temperatures well below average. The Gulf Coast was heeding blizzard warnings. We hunkered down at our lakefront site on the northern border of North Carolina, assuring ourselves that we made the right decision by staying put until these weather patterns subsided.

Exactly what you need to know about RVing to and from New England

Ah, New England. Our little corner of the country, boasting miles of rocky shorelines along the Atlantic and lovely Granite peaks of the Appalachians. Land of lobstah and clam chowdah, fluffernutters, Hoodsie cups, and Mrs. Fields cookies. It's a great place to visit, whether you're a

An unexpected end to Season 3 and full-time RV life

This was definitely not the way we expected our year to end, on the immense high of finding and purchasing our dream land, then crashing to the lowest low of needing to say goodbye to our beloved cat Lily right before the holidays. We look back at the year and

A campground owned by criminals?! New obstacles when finding open campgrounds in the off-season

Since we've been RVing in New England this fall, a theme has emerged that has been pervading our blog: The lack of campgrounds open late into the off-season. In 2022 when we returned to our home region, we spent the beginning of November in New Hampshire and had

Another NH campground, another management change. Is everything ruined?

When we first returned to New Hampshire this fall, we stayed at Meredith Woods Campground, a park we had called home for nearly three weeks back in 2022. Only, now named Hunter's Run RV Park, new management had taken over and we noticed unfortunate changes even before we

Camping in cold fall temperatures...with no heat!

Fall is our favorite season to camp in our RV. We love how the campgrounds grow quieter with each passing week. We love feeling all warm and cozy when the air gets cool and crisp. We love watching the leaves change color around our campsites. This summer was hot and
