Don’t Steal My Stuff: Adding a lock to our truck’s tailgate

While getting the truck ready for traveling, I added a locking Tonneau Truck Bed Cover, and I needed a way to lock the tailgate to create a safe place to store stuff. While tailgate and truck bed covers are not perfect protection, they certainly go a long way to making it really inconvenient to dig through…

Having Friends Over to Play

One of the things I think my kids & I both miss are play dates. The kind where the moms get to sit on the couch and chat while the kids run around and play like cray for hours. There are a few friends back home where life is easier when they are over. The…

Our Number One Recommendation to Prepare Financially for Life on the Road

Although it may seem like we jumped into the decision to abandon our lifestyle and go mobile, it has actually been a long time in the making. We didn’t just wake up one day and decide to sell the minivan, buy an Airstream and a truck and drive into the sunset. So, what did we…

    I love this! I have a 2008 DWR 16′ Bambi and travel with my dog. I’m seriously contemplating leaving my hubby at home (on our farm) during the winter next year and heading south to MS, AL, LA and TX. Your blog is giving me courage! I’m on the other end of the spectrum…kids all graduated from college and getting married. Only tied down by my business, which I can manage from the road. Your pictures are great and your blog is an inspiration. It’s not too late to teach this old dog some new tricks!

Paid Vacations for the Self-Employed

One clear difference between self-employment and a salaried job is the lack of paid vacations. I am paid hourly so when I don’t work, I don’t get paid. Without a bit of advance planning, it is easy to feel like I can’t take time off or relax without feeling the financial burden. Having just spent…

How Much Does it Cost to Live in an Airstream? December Edition

Sam & I talk often about the costs of living on the road full time. How much money is it going to take? Can we really make this work? Honestly, we are not sure yet. We have a few numbers in mind from our own experience as well as others’, but because we are so…

    What about insurance costs? You still have to have health insurance right and does it cost more to find a plan that has better national access with no definite address?ReplyCancel

      Thanks for the question! I didn’t include health insurance costs because we haven’t actually changed anything now that we are on the road. I’ll have to do a post about self-employment health insurance though because that seems to be something everyone worries about!ReplyCancel
