Ya Gotta Have Some Fun

• How We Became Full-Time RVers Without Retiring Choosing to full-time was a pretty easy decision for Matt and me -- but the actual transition from stationary home-owner to traveling full-timer was a bit more complicated. While we found some good information in books and on websites about living on the road, much of it was written from the point of view of the retiree -- and our situation required a few extra steps to accommodate our age, active lifestyle, and work status...
• Living In A Tin Can Blog -- The Full-Time Airstreaming Lifestyle Matt and I have been full-time RVers since July of 2008 -- and each day brings a new life lesson (help, I'm growing, and I can't stop!) This weekly blog shares our experiences living the nomadic life -- tips about the mechanics and practicalities of full-timing, obstacles we had to overcome to be able to travel year-round, what it's like to work on the road, and our observations about the world as we see it from our Airstream...
• RV Park Reviews Matt and I have stayed in variety of different RV parks throughout our travels -- state parks and private, vacation spots and mobile home parks filled with permanent residents, high-end resorts and complete dumps. The most frustrating thing about making a reservation is that, without a referral, you really have no clue what the park is like until you get there (we learned early on that even the photos on the website can lie!) So I thought that I would share our opinion of each place we've stayed. Please note that our star system is based on how much we enjoyed staying at the place, not how sexy their amenities are. We don't necessarily care about golf courses and swimming pools and country clubs (although they are nice pluses...)
• Your RVing Tool Bag When you live on the road full-time, you need to have to strike a balance when it comes to your "supplies." You want to make sure that you have everything you'll need for daily life in an RV, as well as for repairs and minor emergencies -- but you are limited to what will fit in a couple of very small storage spaces. Throughout our travels, Matt and I have figured out exactly what we need and what we don't, and I thought that I would share our supply list with you...
• Handy Resources For Full-Time RVers Once you've been on the road for a while, you begin to accumulate a list of resources that make life easier -- whether you need a new patio rug or RV repairs or a campground for the night. And the fact that we live in the internet age helps tremendously (I can't imagine what it was like when you had to thumb through the local yellow pages!) I thought I would share my list of "useful links" -- some tools and services and information sites we've discovered throughout our travels as full-timers...
• Ways To Stay Connected While You Travel When you hit the road as a full-timer, the disconnection can be a little jarring -- aside from the people at your RV park, how do you find a sense of larger community? All those activities and organizations you enjoyed when you lived in one spot are harder to find when you travel -- but they are still there. If you're interested in working, volunteering, taking classes, or joining a sports team while you RV around the country -- I've got you covered...
