RV Life Season 3

Passing through Uranus (a subscribers-only bonus post!)

The beginning of our Harvest Hosts/Boondockers Welcome challenge was intense, to say the least. We went from a season of slow travel and suddenly thrusted ourselves into a month of traveling almost every single day. Planning our schedule while including factors like work and weather was daunting. However, we&

We were declined! (HH/BW Challenge Series)

The weather was looking dreary in and around St. Louis for the first weekend of our Harvest Hosts challenge. Chances of rain and wind meant we needed to stay diligent with our travel plans. We booked our locations so that, if we did need to drive during bad weather, the

Harvest Host Stories

Challenge accepted! 4 weeks of ONLY Harvest Hosts/Boondockers Welcome

We don't know if this is statistically true, but someone on Instagram mentioned that the 3rd year of full-time RVing seems to be the "slump." This is the year many RVers quit and find a place to settle down, or at least start thinking about it.

Country Life

The most majestic corner of the Ozarks

We had been bouncing around and between two National Forests in Arkansas: Ouachita National Forest and Ozark-St. Francis National Forest. We can't explain the feeling of getting back into mountains and highlands. The mountains are where we belong, and even though we were thousands of miles away from

RV Life Season 3

The ultimate showdown! Branson mountain coasters

We've developed some interesting traditions since we started traveling full-time. We love to spot eagles and their nests. We made up a song to sing every time we cross the border into Ohio. And, we ride mountain coasters. This last one probably stems from the fact that we&

Outdoor Adventure

Branson bound!

Our biggest event of the year had come and gone, and the fire in the sky had lit a fire under us to keep the excitement rolling. Thankfully, we were headed to a place that would match this energy: Branson, MO! This was one of our most anticipated Midwest destinations.

RV Life Season 3

Totally unreal! Camping under the solar eclipse path of totality

Approximately 44 million North Americans resided in the path of totality for the 2024 Great American Eclipse, and hundreds of thousands more traveled to the area. It was the most anticipated event of the year and kicked off camping season early. As full-time RVers, we have the privilege of parking

RV Life Season 3

Is this National Park the perfect getaway?

We are National Park purists. We think that in order for the National Park Service (NPS) to categorize somewhere as a National Park (capital "N," capital "P"), that place needs to meet certain criteria. All national park sites in the US are special in their own

RV Problems

We're not getting away that easily!

💡We were victims of treetaliation at Village Creek State Park. If you missed the post, read it here first. As frustrating as it is to incur damage on our RV, we woke up the next morning feeling grateful that things weren't worse. We were mere feet away from

"They're trying to kill us!" Tree retaliation at Village Creek State Park

We set up camp at Village Creek State Park in Arkansas, after experiencing an online booking SNAFU outside of Memphis. The experience was a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of our forested campsite, hikes on the nature trails, and games of tennis. However, not everything was sunshine

RV Life Season 3

Returning to nature in the Natural State

We learned a valuable lesson, which was to think twice before booking the last available site online, the night before the start of our booking. Luckily for us, being forced out of Serendipity Brownsville RV Park led us to a gorgeous state park in Arkansas. Village Creek State Park is

Our travel day turned into an episode of Seinfeld

In the RV world, we often get into conversations about whether we're planners or spontaneous travelers. We've met all kinds, from those who book months ahead of time, to those who never book ahead and instead fly by the seat of their, errr, trucks. We lie

Coming in hot! Our quest to find the best hot chicken in Nashville

Let's start at the very beginning, and we mean very beginning: July 7, 2012. Two 20-something Bostonians met at a lunch gathering and hit it off, which resulted in a long afternoon of strolling the city, talking and getting to know one another. One conversation topic of the

RV Life Season 3

Following Elvis

Despite what some people thought, we were perfectly content slowing down our travels to embrace life down in the deep South. We spent most of our days taking walks, doing work, and getting little repairs done on the rig. However, we were not totally lacking adventure. Camping at Fulton Recreation

KOA Rankings 2024

Our favorite KOA! But where does it fall in the ranks?

💡We shared our story of how we went from being KOA party poopers to being KOA lovers! Then we created a scorecard to definitively rank all of the KOA Kampgrounds we have stayed at in just over two years of travel. Today, we post the remaining scores and crown the

The definitive ranking of all the KOAs we've stayed at in two years

We've had quite an interesting history with Kampgrounds of America (KOA) in our two years as full-time RVers. It's a typical rom-com love story, where we thought we hated them, got to know them, and then fell in love with them...well, at least with some

KOA Rankings 2024

We were grossly mistaken about KOAs

Before we set out as full-time RVers, we had some predictions of what kind of campers we would be. We expected to love the nature feel of rustic campgrounds, state parks, and federal lands. We were right about that. What we were grossly mistaken about, however, was the variety that

Campground Reviews

Three COE campgrounds, one Goldilocks Principle

Season 3 of travels started fast-paced. We blitzed to Florida, making one slight detour to get a repair at our dealer. Then we hopped from the Florida RV SuperShow, to Palm Harbor where we met up with some friends, then to Fort Myers where we visited Anthony's family,

RV Life Season 3

We're not bored; we're just living normal life

There are two types of people in this world: Those who understand full-time traveling, and those who do not. We've had our fair share of conversations that involved us answering a whole lot of questions about our nomadic lives, but we never minded it, because we were opening

RV Life Season 3

Are we failing at our RV life mission?

On February 22, we hit a major milestone in our life as full-time RVers: Our travelversary, aka nomadversary. We had officially marked two years of being on the road. If you feel like we celebrate a lot of anniversaries, it's because we do! December 30 is our official

We are claiming this natural disaster as our own

After our month in Florida, we made our way into the next chapter of Season 3, one that would include a journey through the South, so we could check off more states RVed: Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas. We would slow our travels down a bit, enjoy the southern culture and

The famous "cave swim" at Devil's Den: Our honest thoughts

If you follow an RV influencer on YouTube, you're likely to have come across footage of this mysterious, ethereal cave known as Devil's Den. It's one of the many warm-water springs that dots Central Florida, but unique in the fact that it's
