🏔 Originally from Colorado, we dreamed of living a travel and adventure lifestyle but stuck in a 9-5 grind, we had no clue how we would break out of the mold. In 2017 we bought our first RV and it all changed!

Yes, I remember under calculating how much food our 3 dachshunds would need for a week in Big Bend NP and had to get some off brand dog food at the camp store. No, no Blue Buffalo available for our babies. Love RV Trip Wizard, saved our rear end going to a RV park in Oklahoma (Google maps had the quickest route going under a 10 foot RR bridge where Trip Wizard took me 2 miles further north to go over the RR tracks).

That driver was flying under that overpass!! 😮

Also make sure you check the time zone changes, as an example our RV Park is in Idaho 6 miles from Oregon , Oregon is 1 hour earlier then our time. Just a heads up as this can impact your trip for check-in times

Always love your advice. I never miss a video. Would you consider sharing a sample of your spreadsheet where we could plug in our info. That would be so helpful.

These are all great ideas. The rain ponchos in the vehicle is a great point! We will have to move them from the trailer to the truck. Thanks for always putting out great information. - Michelle

My dad kept his tag Axel diesel pusher in top condition. He also had spair water and ful filters and even extra belts. Plus the frig/freezer in the basement was always stocked. Plus three large tubs filled with canned goods and dry goods. One container had toilet paper and paper towels. Also the water tank had only a 1/4 tank of water. He filled it at the camp grounds. Water weighs a lot. Plus the pantry and the frig and freezer inside was packed full, including those spices. When my dad sold it after his wife passed away, he got a very good price. And all that rubbed off on me. He even had two weapons in the RV. One up front and one in the master. Plus a 12 gauge shotgun. That was filled with rock salt. Mostly used when boone docking. Bears, moose, coyotes. Even on his 55 foot Hatteras conv he had a stainless steel pistol and a stainless steel shotgun. Better to be safe, then sorry. A lot of bad people ont there in the waters. I carry when I'm driving, my old duty weapon, a Glock 9mm

The driver you showed driving through a Dairy Queen drive-through was in my town Yuma Arizona. He was a real older senior citizen. I guess there comes a time in life where you’re too old to continue driving such heavy equipment. I know when we reach that age we might not be driving motorhomes
