Top ten holiday gifts for the RV'er

Now that we live full-time on the road we have a running wish-list of the items that would make life a little easier as we travel. We wanted to build a list that would help you when shopping for your RV friends or family this year. We already own most of the items and will explain how they have enhanced our lives. There are some items that we will be buying in the near future as well!

Just checking in with our friends!

Our home for the next week!

Hello everyone!

In the last four days we have traveled across seven states, we are getting settled in to living full time in an RV and learning the road in The Defiant.

We know that many of you are wanting to read all about our journey over the last few days and see all the awesome photos we took but for now we just wanted to let you know we made it safely to Kansas. The Defiant has been very good to us and a cozy place to call home.

Life in the present & My Dear Husband (DH)

As we wait for the answers to some big questions my lovely husband's birthday will be here in a few days.

The best present I could possibly give him are answers; when we will be heading out, when we will be able to fix the plumbing, when we will make it to warm weather and friends on the West coast.

Sadly, I do not have the answers right now and we will have to be patient together. He is usually very patient. I am, on the other hand, usually patient enough to bring the cookies out of the oven a little doughy in the middle..

Our roles have changed for the moment, I am being the patient one, and he is pacing back and forth.

Robert's Modern American Dream

There are a lot of people out there who feel like they want to do something to better the world. We would like to talk to all of them and see what they have in mind. 

The trouble with that is we can not talk to everyone face to face. So for those who have something they would like to tell us but we can not get to you for an interview we will send a little E-mail questionnaire.

So I thought that before we start asking America these questions I would answer them for myself. 

Painting tight spaces

I have had some experience with painting in the past. 

The first job I ever got paid to do, way back when as a 14 year old, was as a painting assistant. That did not start a lifelong career but it was the first of many hours spent painting. 

When my wife and I left our first apartment I painted the whole thing in 48 hours. So with all that experience and the best paint money can buy I thought for sure I would be done painting the Defiant in no time.  

Ants in our Pants.. or RV rather!

When we first found the Defiant she was parked in the woods with a few tree branches leaning on her roof.

We carefully inspected the RV to make sure she didn't have any mice, roach, or ant infestations before we drove her home.

The first night we had her we wanted to see how the loft space (the bunk above the cab) worked and when we went to slide the frame back we found a huge colony of wood ants...

BIG NEWS & an IndieGOGO campaign! Ready, set, GO!!

We have decided to announce our plans to produce an eMagazine about our mission that will be free of charge to all e-mail subscribers!

We are extremely excited about this goal and we cannot wait to get started!

Progress is..

Just to clarify I swore up and down we would have our new tiny home on wheels painted by 7/14/14 *cough* which was three days ago! 

However...

Our RV- Meet: "The Defiant"

Hello everyone!
This is a very exciting post as we finally found the right RV for our needs!

On 7-7-14 we drove home in our 1988 Fleetwood Tioga Arrow which is a Class C and 26 feet long.

A sound motor and safe structure were at the top of our list and I feel like this RV definitely has both!

This video is the "before" video that the car lot made for sales purposes.
