We are Thousand Trails Elite members. As such, we can stay at one campground for three weeks, then go to another campground for three weeks without having to take any time off in between. We spend most of our time in the campground since we don't have a tow vehicle and occasionally ask for rides from neighbors or even the...
I have anxiety. Most days it is tolerable, especially with medication. Today we are getting towed to a mechanic shop, staying there overnight, and getting work done tomorrow. My anxiety is through the roof. I know we don't have to really do anything, but its still a lot of pressure on my shoulders to get things taken care of. Anxiety...
There is this little town in Alabama called Red Bay. There isn't much to the town, but the reason we are headed to Red Bay is simple, Tiffins are built there. We've had issue after issue with our RV Sleipnir, and finally decided to just make the trek here to get as much fixed as we can by people who...
We've been living in our RV for eight months now. Nothing has gone well and now we are considering transitioning off the road. But how do we do that and why? Several factors come into play, our ability to afford and sustain this lifestyle, our quality of life, our ability to see doctors, and how much we are enjoying it....
This summer, we will be working on the mechanical issues in the RV. I hope to get everything fixed and running well. Next summer, we'll work on the cosmetics like redoing the flooring, painting the walls and cabinets and figuring out some way to fix the dreary blinds and curtains on the windows. After that, we'll work on the technology...
Today is a cold and rainy day in Alabama. By all rights, this should give us time to take care of things inside the RV and get back into proper shape. But as can be difficult even in a traditional home, we deal with issues with time management and living in an RV. For starters, its so easy to go...
I know its a Wisconsin thing: Milk in a bag. Like 7-Elevens in the rest of the country, Kwik Trips are all over the place in the midwest, especially Wisconsin. And since Wisconsin is the dairy state, they have fresh dairy products every day. As we travel, we've found other items at stores that just do not exist all over...
We've hit another roadblock. These past week or so has been difficult, and if not for the support of our parents, I'm not sure where we'd be or how we'd be surviving. We have had a few trials and setbacks, and its led me to reevaluate what is important and what we need to do with Sleipnir. I have so...
Tiffany and I live in our RV full time. We have a home address, and we go there occasionally, but we still live in our RV. Full time. We've been traveling for six months now and some people still confuse full time living versus full time vacationing. Let me try and break it down for you. For us, this is...
Many people think automatically that since we live full time in an RV, we must be wealthy or have a lot of money saved up. We have neither, but manage living frugally in an RV. We travel frequently enough, we watch our money, and we use what discounts we can to stay on budget. We've had a few missteps along...
