Motorhome Maintenance Log: Two Years of it!
As promised, here’s everything we’ve replaced, repaired, installed and broken on our rig in the last two years. Our two year motorhome maintenance log! Overall our coach was in great condition when we bought it. I attribute that to several things: Jeremiah researched the ever living poop out of which year, model, and make would…
Are we Throwing in the Towel for RV Life?
700 days on the road. 700 days ago we drove away from our little plot of land outside Portland, Oregon, headed South, and haven’t put down any “roots” since. My goal since starting this blog on our Full-time RV life has always been to be helpful to anyone who is reading it, but simultaneously I…

Internet and Full-time RV Life, Part 3
This blog about full-time RV life and internet is part three of a series of full-time RVing that we’re interspersing through our regular blogs as well. You can find part one here and part two here. I had intended on putting this one a lot further down the series, but internet is something that we…

Full-time RV Life: What is it? Part one

In fact, the internet might be what we’re asked about most!…
Major Surgery and RV Life
The last 8 days have been something else. Jeremiah had surgery, my parents visited, and we had some unexpected weather. Last night, we had a tornado warning. In our Home on Wheels, any storm is cause for concern. A tornado warning? A lot bigger of concern. While we were safe, a big Tornado touched down…
The Texas Residency Hoops: Establishing Domicile as RVers
A lot has been written about full-time RV living, and picking and acquiring your domicile state of choice. The best place to get a crash course that I’ve found is the Escapees domicile page. I don’t want to rehash all of that. There are good reasons for each of the popular states and each should…
