Hey there! We're Joe + Kalyn!
As online entrepreneurs, we thought, "why not work from home... on the road"? So in 2019, we bought and renovated a 2005 Jayco Designer Fifth Wheel, which took us to every state in the lower 48. But the economy hit our business especially hard after the 'vid, spurring us to pivot in new directions and try different strategies, including various RV work camping jobs!
Follow our full-time RV Life journey as we build back our bank accounts in order to fund the biggest RV trip of our lifetime-Alaska.

How Much Did We Spend Stockpiling for Alaska?! (RV Life)
Переглядів 26 тис.Місяць тому
After lallygagging in Utah to avoid the cold, we’re traveling over 500 miles as we make our way north towards Alaska.

But make sure you watch until the very end, because after our massive grocery shopping trip, we arrive home to find quite the surprise. JOI...

    Hopefully going back to Alaska next year, we went in 2017. The diesel was a buck a gallon except for one stop. We stayed in full hookups our trip, DW doesn’t like boondocking. I was stationed at Ft Greely (Delta Junction) in 1972

      While I understand this - I’m not in favor of making public land and especially public landmarks inaccessible purely because some humans suck. Make precautions. People go to general Sherman and other redwoods all the time. There has got to be a happy medium IMO. -J
