Our Winnebago

Our RV is a 2003 Winnebago Adventurer 35u motorhome. We found it listed on eBay and bought it from a private seller. You’ll get the best deal buying used from a private party. Take along a knowledgeable friend or, better yet, hire an RV inspector before you close the deal. All RVs have their quirks so we don’t have any particular kind to recommend.

Places We’ve Visited

We’ve taken our motorhome to 37 U.S. states, 7 Canadian provinces, and all the way down the Baja Peninsula of Mexico. And we haven’t even scratched the surface. 

RVing is definitely easier west of the Mississippi River. We love the northeast but the parks are often older and harder to navigate in a larger RV. The Alaska trip was spectacular and should be on the bucket list of any RVer.

There’s still so much we haven’t seen! On our list: Glacier National Park, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, and New York’s Finger Lakes. 

Normally we only stay in one place for a couple of weeks. But this year with the pandemic, we have spent months in each place. We like to camp on public lands and the stay limit there is usually two weeks. 

Typical Costs Associated With RV Travel

The costs of RV travel can vary widely depending on how you travel. The more often you move, the more fuel you will use. If you always stay in RV parks, those average about $30-40/night. Some parks have a monthly rate that will save you quite a bit of money.

Repairs can be expensive. Things are breaking all the time so the more comfortable you are fixing things yourself, the more money you will save. You can find how to fix almost anything by searching online. Someone has likely been there before!

Being Vegan On The Road Doesn’t Have To Be A Challenge

RVing while vegan is not a challenge at all! You can cook whatever you want wherever you go! Check out the videos below for some inspiration!

A Tip About Public Campground Facilities During COVID

Many campgrounds have closed their shared facilities during the pandemic. So first of all, don’t count on them being available. We’ve been avoiding using campground facilities whenever the campground is busy. They just don’t have the staff to be able to clean thoroughly after each use.

Advice For New RV-ers

Drive slower than you would a car. Know your height and check your route beforehand for low clearances. Google satellite view is great for previewing gas stations to see if you will be able to fit. Try to be flexible with your schedule so that you can do more of the things you enjoy and peace out if you’re not enjoying a spot.
