- We bought an RV, and three days later, we left for a trip about four months.
- We had to pack a four -month -old clothes for our 7 -month -old baby as he was growing so fast.
- Stopdo stop along our journey had hidden gems, and it was a beautiful experience.
While most people who Buy an RV make a test trip Or a “Shapedow” before leaving on a proper trip to RV camp, our family does nothing from half of the masses. Some would call it brave, others reckless (perhaps more accurately), but three days after buying our RV, we set out for a three-month RV trip with our son, traveling throughout the United States.
In our protection, We have rented a similar RV And he made a 10-day trip from Orlando to Dallas and again to determine whether or not the lifestyle was for us or not. It had been a dream for years to travel across the United States to an RV as a family, and so after a successful trip to Dallas, we decided to bite the bullet.
Due to some commitments, we were engaged along the way to different countries, there was a time of our departure, and we started traveling to our typical chaotic fashion with a view of planning. we Dried packaged foods and canned foods Under Dinette, four months boxes for our growing baby, and a capsule of summer and winter clothes for ourselves while traveling through different climates.
We loved our adventure absolutely and seeing our son grows over the months.
There were things that did not go as planned
Although there was obviously Things that went wrongLike our sliding break, which turned out to be the second half of the journey without a slide, closing from RV with 10 miles of gas left in our truck, and gathering on holiday stops between a heat cube, we also made some wonderful memories as a family.
The bumps along the road helped us build that sustainability muscle to change and adaptability that I believe will serve us well in the future. Stopdo stops along the way there were hidden gems that we would not have discovered if we had taken a traditional trip and fly to a destination.
It is amazing what kind of communities are created where there is a need, which most people are not aware of.
We spent more money than we had foreseen
Travel costs around in an RV They are mainly related to gas and camps. We quickly realized that the speed we were traveling in resulted in the US, burning money at a greater rate than we had anticipated at the Toyota Toyota Toyota Toyota by attracting 22 -legged travel trailers.
As we could save on camp costs with our memberships and gathering, the cost of gas resulted in us to plunge into our savings to pay for the lifestyle. Moreover, as it was at home, we were shattered into costco and cooked wholesale to prepare food and freeze, but on the road, we bought smaller amounts of food items, which were more expensive. There was also the innovation of buying fresh local products, even when it was three times more expensive – after all those who could pass the seduction of buying fresh eggs and bread from the farm you spend at night?
We met so many people who cared for our baby
Looking at our great journey to RV again, I think with love not only for the sights we saw, like the desert painted in Arizona and Catskills in New York, but the people we met along the way.

When we stopped for one night in a Vino Vritas in Cleveland, we discovered that it was once a school, and the property had become a wine farm and hobby. And it also allowed some RV to park in place in exchange for buying something from the winery. The owner took my son to see his pigs, goats, geese and ducks. In the morning, his dogs would join us out for breakfast at picnics tables, and at night, my husband and I dodged a family of skunks along the way to the bathroom.
In Idaho we stopped at a local library, one of the many we stopped so that our son could take a break while driving, and he unfortunately bitten a librarian holding him. She calmly told me that she had ran with history for three generations of families in the area and was accustomed to her little customers who bitten her. She then encouraged us to get seeds from the library of their seed and see how they would do after returning home.
I met parents at an open game session at a library in Vancouver, Canada, who shared their hopes, dreams, worries and anxieties for the future their children would inherit. In Portland, Oregon, we stayed in a Harvest host site, where our host, a former corpus of two long gray pigtails, would take our son down the river and would show him deer, dressed in a tie-colored skirt from his days in Vietnam.
In Tahoe, we campaigned in a thousand trails at camping wrapped in tall pine trees, and heard a well -known accent at the camp store that reminded me of the house. She was a woman working there from Melbourne, Australia, where I had just spent the last 10 years living before moving to the United States.
When we left Orlando, our son could sit un controlled and had two teeth. When we came back, he was a week away from walking and had 10 teeth and a life of experience.
He may not remember this journey too much, but we will do it. Living in an RV for three and a half months and traveling through the United States has taught us so much to live simply, making it less about the value of the human connection.
