Full-Time RV’ing Nuts & Bolts

Here’s a collection of our experiences and what we’ve learned during our first few months of full-time RV’ing.  We are far from experts – there are many great resources on the internet from people that have been doing it far longer than we have.

  • Why and how we reached our decision to go RV’ing full-time.
  • Our process for selecting a type of RV- in our case, a Class A motor home.
  • Selecting and shopping for a motor home.
  • The bargaining process.
  • Equipping our motor home.
  • Sorting, storing, selling, and giving away our belongings.
  • Our leaky axle nightmare.
  • Mail forwarding and domicile.
  • Getting internet on the go.
  • Reaching “Escape Velocity”.
  • Selecting a vehicle to tow, and installing a tow bar, base plate, auxiliary braking system, and wiring harness.
  • Selecting components for, and installing a larger battery bank.
  • Selecting, installing, and using a larger inverter.
  • Selecting components for, designing, and installing solar.
  • Learning how to drive our motor home.
  • Our experience dry camping, aka “boondocking”.
  • Taking a cat, Rumbles, full-time RV’ing.

My newest project is adding a second air conditioning unit to La Casita (our motor home).

This is all a work in progress, look for the links to new pages to appear over the next few weeks.
