The BRUTALLY HONEST Truth about Cruise America

Keep your rig secure with this King Pin Lock from etrailer → https://geni.us/IA5MmSI

We said goodbye to our brand new Brinkley so we could try a Cruise America RV rental just to see what it’s really like! After years of driving past these Class C RVs, we wanted to find out for ourselves whether they are worth the price for an RV road trip or just another overhyped travel option.

This week, we’re sharing the good, the bad, and everything in between as we explore the more remote side of Lassen Volcanic National Park and give you the true Cruise America experience.

Hey there! We're Joe + Kalyn!

As online entrepreneurs, we thought, "why not work from home... on the road"? So in 2019, we bought and renovated a 2005 Jayco Designer Fifth Wheel, which took us to every state in the lower 48. But the economy hit our business especially hard after the 'vid, spurring us to pivot in new directions and try different strategies, including various RV work camping jobs!

We recently funded the biggest RV trip of our lifetime—Alaska. Subscribe to our RV living channel to find out what's next! We love boondocking in remote locations, adventuring through the national parks, and uncovering hidden gems, all while sharing the reality of full-time RV Life and making you laugh along the way.

We participate in several affiliate programs. If you make a purchase through any of our links, we receive a small commission at no extra cost to you!
