August has been great! We spent the majority of our time along the coast between Willits, CA and Crescent City, CA. We then meandered into Oregon seeing the Oregon Caves National Monument, Medford & Ashland, Crater Lake and finally into our boondocking spot in Bend. Oregon has been great so far! I’ll detail a post…
What amazes me about life on the road is how unpredictable it is. One month can be completely different from the last, but that’s what makes it so exciting! At the same time, variety makes budgeting difficult. I’ll detail a post later on about how I budget in general (because that’s not really Airstream life…
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!

Costco overspending is NOT a problem IF it fits somewhere and you use it before anything goes bad. 🙂 I wish I could just shop at Costco…
Thanks so much for sharing this each month. It’s so interesting to see the differences and similarities in our Airstream expenses. You must have a knack for finding the most inexpensive laundromats ever. There are only two of us and I can’t get out of there for less than $25. Do you use your propane for everything (fridge, heat, hot water heater, cooking), even when you’re connected to shore power? We haven’t filled our propane since February, but we only use it for cooking, shore power for the rest.
Absolutely! I’m glad its fun. 🙂 We do not use propane for everything. Typically we’ll switch the fridge over (or it does it automatically) and we have an electric heater. Hot water and cooking we don’t have a choice though. Those are always propane. We seem to need to fill one a month right now which is totally doable.
