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 heros 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" travelling the USA. My favorite feature: "Answers to common excuses not to travel full-time."
Tessa Hill's Travel Blog
Tessa Hill is one of the coolest mom's ever. With three kids in tow, she toured 28 countries in 13 months by RV. Tessa writes brilliantly and gets my vote for The Most Entertaining travel blog.
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.
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.
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*."
Birding Rvers
This couple is seeing North America one bird at a time.
Did Someone Say RV Roadtrip?:
In her early fifties, Patty travels through Canada and USA in a large motorcoach, with some boondocking thrown in along the way.
Somewhere In 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.

Birds Of A Feather
You might say this blog by a gay full-time RVer combines two alternative lifestyles.

The Road Less Travelled:

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:
Joy and Phil discussed and researched the lifestyle. They worked 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.
Rolling Marbills:
Marlene and Bill, 2 retired Canadians, are going across Canada in 2009. They live in an RV for half the year and a 40ft boat the other half while traveling up and down the B.C. coastline. They have seen most of Mexico, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Alaska.
Mark and Chris's Phaeton Place:
Follow the trail of a Canadian couple as they learn about full-timing. Mark and Chris started RVing 2 years ago and only recenlty (summer of 2009) became full timers when they headed off to Alaska for their first big adventure.
Running Away:
Jamie Ann, an adventurous, nature-loving, outdoor girl describes her 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.
