After 6+ years in our 20-year old fifth wheel, we’re finally saying goodbye! This week, we reveal the RV we chose (yes, it's the RV with office space!), talk about why a pre-purchase RV inspection matters, and share the bittersweet memories as we move from living in a camper that was our longtime home into our brand-new one.

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.
