What is there to do in South Dakota?!

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.

Just go to our website here for the links to all of the items we discussed:

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!

Check out the links on our website for each of these items and more!

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

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!

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!

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!

Epic family hike to “The Chimneys” in Morganton North Carolina!
This wonderful hiking trail encompasses a range of terrains including tight foliage paths, short rock climbs and small creeks all leading to breathtaking views of the North Carolina Mountains.

Although there are many dangerous areas on the hike, I highly recommend taking your whole family to enjoy these views and experience nature at it's best! As always, use common sense and watch your kids like a hawk when standing on high ground. There are plenty of areas you can reach without major rock climbing and see the mountains for miles!

As a full-time traveling family we live in our Forest River Sierra Fifth wheel and travel the country, sharing our experiences along the way! Like, share and leave a comment on our video if you want to help us continue along this journey.

Get out and hike with your family!

Why take your kids outside? Aren't viruses, bugs, mold, dirt, sticks and rocks out there?!? Take a look at this waterfall and enjoy this quick video that will hopefully inspire you to get outside and enjoy nature with your kids!

We spent July 4th in Branson Missouri with Michelle's family. They treated us to jet skiing, trampoline jumping and fireworks the whole weekend!
