One of our main goals in traveling was to find people we could do life with.
We love sitting around talking about the future, our dreams and goals, the state of the world, and the future, but we also love to play games!

We recently got to check that box off with a group of friends at the @therepublicofnomads rally! Despite the impending sandstorm, everyone came out to hang out and create a memory!

We've been traveling for 4 years and we love everything about our 2018 Forest River Sierra 384QBOK, but a unique turn of events lands us in a brand new custom 2022 Forest River Sierra!

In this video we share the new with the kids and head to pick it up!.
Follow along for more details on our new Fifthwheel and how to travel fulltime!

That's it!! I'm done with this...repair 🙂
We've finally reached the end of our "small tank leak-gone major steel structure repair" saga. There was a lot of bumping and grinding, but eventually we had her underside buttoned right up!

Not only do we fix out problems, we attempt to fix yours too with some tips we learned along the way. Be sure to check out part 1 and leave us a comment!

Y'all, this is bad!! What started as a small tank leak turns into a major repair $$$$$ 😭 I later learn that I couldn't have possibly prevented this!!

I don't know if you've ever had a tank leak, but it sucks getting up under the RV to repair it. Everything is so tight and these things are not built for repairs (That's confidence, right?!). Despite the challenge and no RV repair experience, we take it head on...and learn a lot! Yikes!

Come learn from our experience...It may just help you save thousand!

Sometimes you catch a vibe and the tank must be tended to. No one likes to do it, but it's got to be done!

There's a lot of truth to this. lol 😂

Painting RV cabinets can be really tricky if you do it wrong. Most RV's are made to be lightweight, not super high quality so if you don't know what you're sanding or painting it can be disastrous!
Good news for you, we've done it and it turned out great, so we're bringing you all the tips (and perhaps just the tips...lol) to make your life easier!

Watch this video and let us know how it goes!

If we've helped you in any way, do us a favor and click on our amazon link!

https://www.amazon.com/shop/intentionaladventure

RV's are built with minimal weight in mind. For this reason they use a lot of particle board with veneer on top so painting it can be a real pain!
If you don't prep it right, the paint will peel off a week later. If you sand it too much you'll tear off the veneer and ruin the board!

Fortunately for you, we figured out the best way to do it!
Watch the video for the details!
P.S. Part 2 is coming soon where we show you how we painted the cabinets and door trim and how many coats it really takes to look good with color!

Paint we used:
INSL-X Cabinet Coat Primer/Paint https://amzn.to/3zDJ20K

Sand paper we used:

If you'll give me 3 minutes, I will convince you to come to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta! We joined the Fulltime Families group in a reserved lot right across the street from the festival and it was one of the best experiences we've ever had!

The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta attracts hundreds of balloon pilots from all over the world to fly the skies of Albuquerque. During Fiesta week they launch in what is called "Mass Ascension" and it is just breathtaking! hundreds of hot air balloons going up within a few hours is something worth seeing!
Of course, if you can volunteer for a crew you'll get real hands-on experience that will blow your mind, and maybe even catch a ride!

If you like this one, follow us for the next video with tips on getting the most out of the rally!

See you there!

Believe me when I say that there's a TON to learn about boondocking if you don't want to hate it. If you grew up dry camping in a tent, this is nothing for you, but if you're used to glamping in an RV and you have kids, boondocking can be a nightmare!
Although we've been traveling for almost 4 years we just now started boondocking thanks to our friends at @Project Trek !
We jumped right in with only a small generator and headed to the edge of the earth in South Dakota.
Watch the video for the full story and let us know how your first time went!

Boondocking (what a word, right?!) can be a great experience, or a bad memory. There are a few important things that can make the difference.

As new boondockers we didn't know what to expect. We don't have fancy solar or great batteries and we don't have a water bladder, so how does boondocking go with just a generator?!

Take a walk through our first experience and learn from us!
Don't forget to subscribe for our next boondocking video where we share how the the trip went and some valuable things we learned along the way!

Orlando Florida is home to the mecca of fulltime families, a place called Thousand Trails Orlando, nicknamed "TTO" by the seasoned vets.

Most people who visit TTO know about the "B Field" where kids are free to run wild to their hearts content, or until their parents come back to get them, but in the outskirts of the park, in an otherwise peaceful part of the park lies "Chaos Corner".

This stretch of road is nothing like you've seen before. In fact, for most of the year, it's a welcomed getaway area for seniors who have escaped the jaws of the B field. But come December, Chaos corner comes alive and there's nothing you can do to stop it!

Kids rule the corner for several months as they stretch their wings and exercise their free will and skateboarding skills.
Homeschoolers run wild and 2 year olds teach math while they play poker and clean out the house.
It's quite a sight, and worth visiting, just remember to slow down...but don't stop...definitely don't stop.
If you decide to park, you're taking matters into your own hands...just don't say I didn't warn you...
...I warned you.

Driving through a tight tunnel in South Dakota with our F350 is nerve-wrecking!
The needles Highway in Custer, South Dakota is one of the most beautiful mountain drives with black towering granite and green luscious valleys, but the Needles Eye Tunnel can’t fit everyone!
Make sure you check your dims before heating through this tunnel...granite walls don’t move 😂

Check out this Open Range 376FBH Fifth wheel and see how our friends at Project Trek remodeled it to perfection!
With a TON of pass-through storage, a Bunk room, master bedroom, 2 bathrooms and a gorgeous living room, this Fifth Wheel RV is really a great option for traveling families.

Flash floods are serious!! As we were staying at this RV Campground in Pigeon Forge Tennessee for a family RV rally, a big storm set off flash floods that took over the campground and stranded multiple RVs.
Everyone joined together to try and rescue these RV's that we in the flood as we all tried to move our rigs to higher ground and ultimately find a new place to stay.

We survived our first TORNADO in the RV! 😱
High winds and crazy lighting force us to run for shelter!

Making our first trip to South Dakota, we spent the night at the Ingalls Homestead with our traveling friends, Chief Wildcrew.
There was SOOO much to do and learn at the homestead, from riding horses and making jump ropes to exploring the old buildings on the property.
The kids never lacked for anything to do!
Once the night set in we were greeted by a Tornado and had to rush to the storm shelter survive the storm!

These kids live full time in an RV and they are excited to show you around!
How big are the beds? Do they have a bathroom? Where do they do school?
Eli and Lacie take you through the tour and tell you all about their living arrangements in full time RV living!

Safe Travels!

There are sooooo many things that you will want to buy as you begin your RV journey and it's hard to know what to choose!

Even if you have an endless budget, you DON'T have an endless amount of space or weight capacity, so you're gonna have to choose 🙁

After 3 years of traveling full time, we've built this short list of luxury items (Items you don't NEED, but will definitely WANT) to help you decide!

If this helped you out, leave us a comment! We love to hear from you.
Also, do us a favor and click our amazon links before you buy something. It doesn't cost you a thing, but helps us out a little bit.

2020 was a tough year for EVERYONE. Even if you managed to avoid financial ruin, the emotional toll of not seeing family and friends and the crazy political environment is enough to damage you permanently!
So things are not "normal" anymore. What do you do?
I have an idea, start traveling full time with your family!
I know, it's a crazy idea because you probably don't spend more than a few hours a night all in the same room at this point, traveling for days and ONLY seeing your spouse and kids sounds like a nightmare, right?! haha
I understand. We went through it, but good news, it's worth the transition!

I am sure you have a lot of questions about how this is possible, but here are a few things I will tell you.
1) You can do it if you decide to.
2) There are plenty of ways to make money on the road now more than ever!
3) It's up to you, but full time travel can be much cheaper than living in a house.
4) You get to actually MEET people and SEE people when you travel. Unlike most neighborhoods where you only see your neighbor taking out their trash, the travel community is used to hanging out with new people and having wonderful conversations about every topic. It's a whole different world out here, and I think you need the change!

Watch our videos to see how life on the road can be. Then reach out and let us encourage you on your journey!

Ya'll, this is epic 😂
This parody is based on a rather explicit song from Cardi B (I don't recommend listening to the original unless you love biology 😬 ), in our version, we highlight the challenge of washing your RV...and trying to find the hose when you're kids don't put it where it goes.

If you like it, give us a like and leave a comment! 😃

There are so many things you'll find that you want when you start traveling in your RV. Some things are absolutely necessary (see our video on that) and other items land in the "want" category.
This video introduces 5 items we think you'll want to have as you start traveling!

Traveling around the country in an RV is a true bucket-list experience and it's even better when you find the right Rig!
Our Forest River Sierra Fifth Wheel is so perfect for us that we haven't seen another rig, in three years of traveling, that fits our needs as well!
Living in this RV has enabled us to travel the country in search of friends and adventures all the while continuing some semblance of "normal life".

I hope this 3 minute adventure inspires you to grab an RV and get out and see our beautiful country!

RV Model: 384QBOK

www.IntentionalAdventure.com

Traveling is wonderful, but traveling with your HOUSE is amazing!
No packing bags! You never leave anything "at home" and no matter where you wake up, you are sleeping in your own bed 🙂

Best of all, you're not held down to one city or state. You're free to move around and visit the country with freedom!
This is made possible for us by our Forest River Sierra (384QBOK)!
This 5th wheel has the perfect amount of space for us to live with 4 people and still like each other at the end of the day, but small enough to pull it with a single rear axel F350 (which allows us to drive a smaller truck and fit in parking spaces and parking garages...it's a big deal!).

Get you a Forest River and Adventure On!

https://www.intentionaladventure.com/shop/

If you're new to the RV life, let me tell you a little secret, there's a LOT of gear that you will need in order to get settled in properly. This doesn't mean you can't "rough it" and get by without this gear (all of us know someone who has survived for years using the same toothbrush and 3 t-shirts, right?!), no, this is intended to help those who are moving from a nice life full of stuff, to an RV life with less stuff, but all the while maintaining a level of comfort that remotely resembles real life.

In this video we will share our list of NEEDs that we have compiled from 3 years of RV living.

We will be releasing a WANTS and LUXURIES video as well with gear that goes beyond just the "bare necessities", but this video is just the main gear you need to get started!

Keep in mind, if you click on any of the links in our shopping section it will take you to Amazon and we will get a small commission for anything you purchase for 24 hours after that (even if it is not the item you clicked on).
Yay! You can buy your stuff and support us and it doesn't cost you a penny more!

Thank you for you support, and we look forward to hearing your feedback on how this gear has helped you along the way.

Happy Camping!

This is why they are called "the Smoky Mountains"! This beautiful dance of wind and fog is captured in this overnight time lapse at our campground in Waynesville North Carolina.

We searched the South East for the best pumpkin patch and Darnell Farms came in first place!

This beautiful farm sells all kinds of vegetables and goodies and right now they have a field full of pumpkins!
A hay ride takes you through the farm to the field where you pick out your own pumpkin to take home.
We especially like this location right before sunset for EPIC family pumpkin pictures (check out our website for the photo shoot!)

Go support Darnell Farms www.darnellfarms.com and keep these wonderful family farms alive!
(Don't want pumpkins? No problem! They also have strawberries, tomatoes and sunflowers other times of the year!)

What is a typical travel day like in full-time RV living? We're happy to show you! In fact, we will take the 8 hour trip and break it down to 4 minutes for your viewing pleasure!
