Here we will discuss our process of researching the perfect truck / trailer combination as well as other equipment-related decisions before and during full-time living.
As I sit here and write about the intricacies of this particular week of our life, it’s difficult to imagine it actually happened. I am currently sweating in 90* humid heat in Montana, and reminiscing on all that occurred….. so here goes my best explanation on our experience! During our tour of the USA, we […]
This decision is one of the most stressed-over for families looking to live full-time in an RV. The answer? It is just as individual in nature as the family itself! Let us take you through our process so that those that are reading, and considering doing the same, can have at least another perspective on […]
As some of you may know, we have a combo washer/dryer in the “garage” of our tiny home. Although it pales in comparison to a washer and dryer that we were used to in our home, it is wonderful to have the access to laundry right in our own trailer! After some getting-used-to, some *slightly* […]
Well, sort-of… Shortly before we left Texas in June, we decided to purchase an inflatable boat! My dad first suggested an inflatable boat years ago. We lived near water, but didn’t get out much onto it so we never purchased one…fast forward to 2020. As we were getting ready to depart, we came to the […]
One of the big differences between camping and full-time RV living is the need to stay connected. While on a camping trip, staying connected might be possible with a cell-phone or a hot spot, but that just doesn’t cut it for full-time travel. Before we went full-time, I did a large amount of research and […]
One of the primary reasons we chose the toy hauler was the ability to: 1) Have the towing vehicle to drive around at the places we stay and 2) Have a tiny car that will be used primarily for my travel to and from the airports for work. Over the many “trial runs” before we […]
Road Warrior 427 For many months we searched for the right kind of floorpan that would both fit our needs as well as add a little “fun” to the trip. We ended up liking a lot of what Heartland toy haulers had namely, the Cyclone and Road Warrior. In the end, the Road Warrior won […]
We finally did it – we bought the truck! After over a year of research, a dozen test-drives, and many, many hours of conversation, we purchased the truck. We decided to purchase a Ford F350 DRW (dual rear wheels; “dually”). We first set out for a used truck, then contemplated new, and finally ended up […]
In our last post we discussed how to read the specification sheets from different manufacturers. If you missed it, you might want to check it out before you continue here… Is the type of RV really that important to my truck selection? If you already have the truck that you plan to use for your […]
This is one of the most important questions for a new or soon-to-be RV owner. In the case of the Class A and Class C, you will not need a “towing” vehicle however, you should consider a vehicle to “tow!” This is a slightly less complicated process as you will want to look at the […]
