Are All New RV’s JUNK? We Were Shocked!

We’re on the hunt for our next RV, but what we discover at the Florida RV Supershow is hastily made RV’s, low-quality materials, and a shocking realization that this endeavor might be a lot harder than we thought. Will we find the perfect rig, or is finding one that checks off our wishlist for full time rving just a pipe dream?

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.
