The RV Travel Blog
"What Is Day-To-Day Life On The
Road Really Like?"
Follow an RV Travel Blog to get the true picture.
The only better way to find out is to just do it - stop procrastinating
and hit the road yourself.
These days it seems that almost every traveler feels compelled to write
a blog. Many of them, initially intended only to keep family and
friends up to date, have taken on a life of their own. They've replaced
trip diaries and, for many, they are as therapeutic as journaling.
On this page I'll point you to some of my favorites RV travel blogs.
Each reflects a unique situation, lifestyle, realization of a dream, or
reason for traveling and they are the best of the lot that I've found
so far.
The following web logs (that's where the word blog comes from) belong
to the true REAL unsung heroes of the open road - those who have decided
to live their travel dreams now and share the details so that we can
all be inspired to live ours.
If nothing else, you may be amazed at how many people are "out there"
bucking the system, and just doing it "their way."
Roads Less Traveled:
Mark and Emily, full-time adventurers, discovered the joys of
boondocking and how it can stretch the travel budget. If their
adventures and fantastic photographs don't inspire you, nothing will.
Travels With Miranda: The
story of a thirty-year old Canadian gal, two cats, an RV, and the call
of the open road.
Technomadia: Two
"Domestic Nomads" traveling the USA. My favorite feature: "Answers to
common excuses not to travel full-time."
Live. Work. Dream:
In 2007, Jim and René sold their California business and home to travel
and decide "what's next?" More than two years later, these young RVers
are still criss-crossing the country as digital nomads, sharing their
road trip experience with others who dream of embarking upon a similar
adventure someday.
VanTramps:
Vantramping: taking advantage of a vanhome's mobility while living as
comfortably and sustainably as possible
The Adventures Of Tioga And George:
George, who calls himself the greatest vagabonder of all time, survived
a battle with cancer in 2003 which prompted him to immediately assemble
"his team" and hit the road. Think you can't afford the RV travel
lifestyle? George rarely pays for camping and his RV travel blog lists
income and expenses for all to see.
The Professional Hobo:
In 2006, Nora Dunn decided to take the plunge. She sold her financial
planning practice in Toronto Canada, and got rid of all of her
belongings for the adventure of a lifetime. Since then, she has been
traveling and discovered more than she could ever imagine. With no end
to her travels in sight, enjoy the entertaining chronicle of her
adventures.
Hitting The Road With Brain Injury Riding
Shotgun:
A great story about a single Mom with a traumatic brain injury who is
overcoming 4 years of homelessness and is now hitting the road to full
time in an RV with her daughter and service dogs.
Geeks On Tour:
Two computer geeks live, work, and travel in their motorhome. While
seeing the sights, they spread computer education everywhere they go.
(For instance, they can teach you how to start your own RV travel
blog.)
The Journey Of A Lifetime Begins:
A fellow Canadian with a big heart, Les sets an example for creating a
meaningful retirement. He spends summers close to home in British
Columbia but travels by RV to Mexico every winter where he gives
generously of his time at Casa Hogar Santa Julia in San Miguel, a
mission for abused and abandoned children.
Jerry and Cynthia's Great American RV
Roadtrip:
No high dollar class A motor home or fat bank accounts here... We're
just simple folks heading out with a 2001 Ford F150 4x4 SuperCrew
Lariat, a 19' 2008 Palomino Gazelle G210 travel trailer and two 2008
Honda Ruckus scooters. Our home may be really small but we have one
heck of a front yard! We have a little bit in a savings account for
emergencies and we live on just $1422.00 per month.
Possum Living: Survivalism,
with a slant toward tossing it all and living in a cheap pickup camper.
Tracy is a self-proclaimed wandering journalist and junkyard warrior.
Life On The Open Road:
Diana has been a full-time RVer for 10 years, primarily "boondocking,"
camping free without hookups, in the Western US.
The Long Long Honeymoon:
Instead of jaunting off to honeymoon on a posh Pacific island, these
newlyweds hitched up their trusty Ford diesel truck to explore America.
Their long, long honeymoon journey has stretched over 30,000 miles,
camping in every conceivable environment, attracting a fair share of
media attention... “Because life should be a long long honeymoon…”
The Bayfield Bunch:
Kelly and Al live in Southern Ontario in the summers and, like many
snowbirds, travel to the southwestern states in the winter. The
photography on the site is nothing short of amazing!!! A favorite Al
quote: "Only thing better than right now will someday be the memories
of right now."
The Wandering Wishnies:
With absolutely no previous camping or RV experience, on a whim, Fred
and Jo shed the trappings of "normal life" to go off to see the world
in a fifth wheel. Through their RV travel blog, they share it all with
you - the good, the bad and the ugly.
This End Up:
(A most entertaining) travel blog about a single woman's trip around
the world and her search for her true self - or barring that a good
tan.
Cage-Free Family:
In this crazy, over complicated world where we begin to feel like
slaves to our possessions this little family of 6 (1 mom, 1 dad, 2 kids
and 200 lbs of dog) made a leap. "We donated all of our belongings and
bought a 25 year old RV to hit the road and teach our kids, and
ourselves, a thing or two about the differences between *want and
need*."
We Choose This: A young family of
seven chooses to live in a way that many might find odd. "We choose
being together, Jesus, natural living, a big family, life on the road,
mama with dreadlocks, healthy eating, homeschooling, adventure and
love."
Birding Rvers:
This couple is seeing North America one bird at a time.
Did Someone Say RV Roadtrip?:

motorcoach, with some boondocking thrown in along the way.

beginning (May 2009). Share it as it unfolds, one adventure at a time.
Candy From Strangers:
Currently (June 2009) traveling by bicycle through Vietnam, Laos, and
Cambodia, Malina chronicles her round-the-world-trip, on a shoestring
budget, in search of candy.
Two Drifters Off To See The World:
Follow Bob and Molly's RV travel blog as they follow sunny days and
warm nights across this beautiful country.
Birds Of A Feather:
You might say this blog by a gay full-time RVer combines two
alternative lifestyles.
The Airstream Chronicles:
Rich has transformed his passion for the outdoors and photography into
a life of traveling the countryside in an Airstream RV. Naturally, he
posts some pretty amazing photos.
The Road Less Travelled:
Barbara and Ron met through a popular RV singles club, WIN (Wandering
Individuals Network) and now travel together.
Steve's RV Travelogue:
Steve has traveled to many of the same areas that Randy and I have. The
posts to his RV travel blog include some great photos.
CrusinSusan:
A single woman quits the rat race, sells everything she owns, buys a
small motor home, and sets off to see the USA and write her memoirs.
Dare 2 Go:
On the verge of building a large dream home in Australia, Yasha and
Jeurgen decided to sell everything instead and travel as much and as
far as possible. They explored North, Central, and South America with a
truck camper before "crossing the pond" to travel through Germany in a
camper borrowed from friends.
The Slow Travelers:
An extended family road trip on which a mom, dad, and young daughter
travel by RV, braking for good pie, roller coasters, and historic
landmarks.
Backroad Chronicles:

together for nearly five years in preparation for their dream of full
time RV living. Now they've been living the dream for 5 years and
recording it all in their RV travel blog.

big adventure.

adventures as she roams through some of the most remote backroads and
wilderness areas of the southwest. Great detail and lots of pictures.
Spirit Journey:
"When Deb and I decided to undertake this full-time RV lifestyle, we
both agreed that it must be approached more as an open journey than a
predetermined series of ultimate destinations. That is the primary
reason we chose to title our blog Spirit Journey...similar to the
vision quests of Native Americans or the walkabouts of Australian
Aboriginals."
Ziek's World: From tips about wi-fi
signal strength to recipes, Ziek shares what he learns from RVing.

living, powered by straight veggie oil. With two young children in tow,

full time job is to travel, see old friends and lots of relatives, meet
new ones, hear as much music as possible, have as many adventures my
body and soul can endure! And to wake up not knowing where I am and
where I'm going. Love it all!"

I'm constantly finding new favorite RV travel blogs to add to this
blogroll. If you are currently on the road yourself and write an RV
travel blog, or if you know of other exceptional or unique blogs that
would contribute to showing the diversity of travelers who are "living
their dream" please
let me know so I can add them to the above list and follow
their travels myself.
