In our first 9 months of living full-time in our RV, we spent four and a half months at Sharon Johnston Park campground (over three different stays). Why we call this park home.
Julie grew up making cross-country road trips, and has always loved to travel. She dreamed of one day retiring and living in an RV while traveling. Finally, she realized that you can't wait to live the life you want, and there was no reason to wait.

Despite hundreds of hours of YouTube videos and even living full-time in our RV, we really were not prepared for the realities of full-time RV travel. Our first week of full-time RV travel life was not uneventful, and we just hope it's not a glimpse of the stress to come.

In mid-January we moved our camper over to Point Mallard in Decatur AL, so we could be closer to Brandon’s house and start prepping it to sell. When we arrived the spot we wanted to take had a power issue, so we set up in a different site while...

So, other than window shopping at dealerships to decide what layout we wanted, we did most of our RV shopping online, and in the process we were amazed at how many people didn’t really seem to...
There aren’t many options for RV parking in (or near) Athens, Alabama. As such, if you come into town for the Bluegrass Festival or the Storytellers Festival, you’ll likely find yourself parking at Northgate RV Park. We call Athens, Alabama home, so after buying our RV in FL and returning, we needed a place to park while we got set up. Northgate RV Travel...
Despite zero experience with RVs, we opted to make our first trip one that would span 900 miles. We made a few mistakes along the way, but it could have been much worse.
In the last two years we’ve looked at hundreds of RVs, from travel trailers to 5th wheels to Class As. We considered them all. After all that looking, why did we settle on the Heartland Bighorn 3875FB? The idea of RV living is one that Julie has had on her mind for years. Before she met Brandon, she figured she’d set off in something small but reasonably...
