About Us: Full-time RV Living
Welcome!
We’re Jen and Eric, and we have been doing RV life since 2020. We’re young(er) empty nesters, who grew up on the same block and ultimately raised our children early on in life. With an empty house and our first opportunity to build our new future - we knew we wanted to be able to travel, but we also never wanted to leave our dogs behind.
After a few camping trips, we started to explore the idea of living in an RV to travel the US.
Originally, we thought we would set out on what would feel like an epic vacation. Maybe take 6 months to a year to cover as much ground as possible, and while we were exploring - maybe we would even find the next spot to call home.
And then, it happened.
As we started to research what type of RV we should buy, we immersed ourselves in YouTube videos. What we found was that so many people were already living in RVs, some of them spending years on the road. They had it figured out. And, they were teaching us everything that we needed to know, to realize that this was what we wanted, too.
Soon, the idea of taking an extended vacation turned into: “Should we sell everything and live in an RV?”.
Spoiler alert. We sold it all.
On July 3rd, 2020 - we became full-time RVers.
This About Us page used to be pretty beefy.
I talked about how we grew up living very different lives when it came to the outdoors. Eric - camped. Jen - watched TV.
And how we only camped together a couple of times as adults, and how I told Eric I would camp more if we had an RV. (And, how buying an RV was the fastest purchase I had ever seen Eric make.)
And I shared a lot about our lives together, raising 3 children, moving our family from NY to FL, about our jobs, about our favorite places to travel, about trying to apply mascara in a tent … we’ve shared it all.
After 3 years of living in an RV, our “about us” just hits different.
Throughout our blog, you’ll find snippets of lived experiences. Places we loved, things we’ve bought, ways we’ve made a home.
Our hope is that by sharing what we’ve learned, and like others have done for us - maybe we can help inspire you to live life differently.
Whatever that means to you.
