But it just so happened that all the starts aligned, and an opportunity to own a motorhome showed up for a price we couldn’t turn down. So we’ve discovered the joys of RVing with kids by trial and error—much like everything else we do).
Cycling is still a great love for us, and we hope to still do lots of cycle touring (there’s enough room in our RV to bring our bikes!). But we’ll be covering more ground with the motorhome, parking it, and then cycle touring our way around… when travelling becomes a thing again.
We’ve been home like everyone else for the better part of a year, and we’re not really sure when we’ll be heading out with the motorhome again. I’m high-risk, so we’re trying to stay put as much as we can. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t dream up our next adventure—and help you do the same.
In this section of the blog, you can read about our previous experiences RV travelling with your kiddos, and find useful information for your own RV trips. We’ve done a little bit of everything in our RV.
We started with little microadventures close to home, but then we spent 9 months travelling from 2018-2019, and it’s all here on the blog. Just scroll through or hit the search box for more info about the places we visited. There are also some posts where I share some of our mistakes and some of our favourite resources for full or part-time living on the road.

During our wonderful year of RV travel with kids, we did lots of things right, but we also made some mistakes that we wish we’d thought about before we left. Here are some of the things we’ll do differently if we long-term travel with our kids again.
When we’re not going on bicycle adventures or travelling long-term in an RV with our kiddos, we like to be inspired to go on other trips. Travel is a way of life for us, not just something we do on vacation days.
We recently went from full-time RVers to part-time ones. This transition didn’t come easily, especially to me. I’m a nomad at heart, and being on the road makes me extremely happy. The transition was made all the harder because we didn’t move back home—we’re temporarily living in a different city, stationary at an apartment that isn’t our sticks-and-bricks home and isn’t our home on the road, either.
It’s been roughly a month since our full-time RV adventure came to an end. During our trip, we had access to some awesome resources that made things a little easier. With these, we were able to check out places to boondock, dump our tanks, and more. There’s not a lot here, but what there is, is incredibly helpful.

We also stayed at some state and national parks, and we chose some private campgrounds as well. Here are our favourite campgrounds from our adventure, in no particular order.
Unfortunately, some people abuse the system, and ruin it for other RVers. While free overnight stays in your RV are super awesome, it’s important to remember some basic etiquette. Here are the basic “rules” we follow when overnighting at free spots.

If you’ve been following this blog or my Instagram account for a while, you probably already know that my family and I are library lovers. There are so many awesome reasons to visit a library… to read of course, but there’s more. Here are some of the reasons we loved visiting libraries during our RV adventure:

A lot of people ask us how we could possibly afford a year on the road. Not having debt and saving up helps, but so does being resourceful when it comes to life on the road. Not staying at campgrounds every single night certainly helps to keep the budget low.

I absolutely loved our nine months of full-time RV travel. If it were up to me, I’d sell everything and hit the road permanently. There are many aspects of full-time travel that are appealing to me, but of course there are downsides to everything. So here’s a post about the pros and cons of full-time RV travel with kids.

Lots of people have asked us how we can afford to travel. We were asked this question back in 2008, when we went on our North American Swing Road Trip, and back then we didn’t have any kids. I think people are even more curious to know how a couple with three children can hit the road on only one income. Here’s the low down on how we do this.
