It’s not the things we own in life that make the journey worth it, but they sure can make a difference in our comfort along the way. This is where we share the things we love … the tried and true items that enhance our experiences in some way.

The items recommended here are our favorites, the things we use on a regular basis and love.

Our home-away-from-home. We decided to begin our RV journey in a travel trailer. Here’s why…

We decided on a travel trailer for the beginning of our RV journey. If we ever decide to travel full-time, I’m sure we’ll make a change, but for now this option suits us well. We enjoy the freedom of setting up our trailer at the campsite and having our truck to roam an extended area without the concerns of parking a large vehicle or leaving our campsite empty. A travel trailer is a very affordable option to give the RV camping lifestyle a try, costing less than the average motor vehicle.

With our youngest child still attending a local college, we aren’t ready to downsize our almost-empty nest quite yet. But we are now free to leave him at home to care for the pets and attend classes while we head out on adventures!

Already, we are eyeing class A and C recreational vehicles as we consider future options, but we share our experiences with the hope that we’ll make a decision for others easier (or at least entertain our readers along the way)!
